About exactly 10:00 pm on a Tuesday, May the 25th, I Deon Thompson, 17 years old, were at the Black Dragon. The Black Dragon is an American-Chinese dance club in Tokyo, Japan...wierd hunh. I was out there with my friend Xiouzu Kiomi. She's 14, but they let her in 'cause she was with me. We got in, and the place was real bright with a whole bunch of dragon statues everywhere, a huge pool, a Kool-Aid Fountain...I guess it was Kool-Aid...it was red. We sat down in one of the tables by the stage and then we talk a while.
"Baby...this is soo cool that you can let me in with your VIP pass," she smiled, holding both my hands in her arms.
"Thanks...anything for you, but how many times do I have to say don't call me baby?" I told her, pulling my hands away.
"Why not?" she asked.
"Because, you know I already have a girlfriend," I said.
"Yeah," she nodded, "I know."
"She wouldn't talk to me for like a month the last time you call me that in front of her," thinking about that time.
"Okay...I just call you by you first name," she started to whine.
"What's wrong Xiouzu," I asked.
"It's nothing," she said, "it just that I love calling you baby and now I can't call you that anymore...sniff...it just hurts me."
"Sigh...if u wanna call me baby...then be my guest," I told her smiling and sighing.
"Thanks you baby," she happily cried and hug me, " I love u so much.
"I do to...as a friend, but don't cry, you wanna go upstairs on the balcony." I asked her.
"Sure baby," she said grabbed my hands to get me up and I took her there.
