It was the night of the big Masquerade Ball. Costumes were not optional and you had to cover you face but leave your eyes visible. Shawn and Belle were going together and Philip and Chloe were going together. They all invited Mimi to ride along but she knew that she would be the fifth wheel yet again. Chloe and Mimi met at Belle's to get ready.
"Meems what did you decide to go as?" Belle asked.
Mimi went over to a her bag and pulled her costume out, "I'm Jeanie from 'I Dream of Jeanie.'
"You are going to knock some guy's socks of Meems," Chloe said.
"I sure hope so." Mimi smiled.
"So was is Miss Belle going as?" Chloe asked.
"Belle." Belle stated.
"You can't go as yourself Belle." Mimi told her.
"I'm not I'm Belle from Beauty and the Beast." Belle smiles.
"Oh that's so cute, So Chloe what are you?" Mimi asks.
"The Phantom of the Opera, what else?" Chloe says smiling.
Belle looks at the clock, "Oh my gosh we only have 2 hours we need to start getting ready."
The girls get ready and as they are putting the finishing touches to their makeup when the door bell rings.
"Izzy! The boys are here!" John yells up.
"We'll be right down!" Belle yells, "Ready?"
"Almost, you two go on, I'll be right down." Mimi said trying to put on her ballet slippers.
Chloe and Belle walk down stairs and the guys ohh and aww and then Mimi comes down and all the guys stare including Belle's brother Brady.
"Wow, Meems," Shawn says and gets an elbow from Belle.
"Thanks Shawn, I think." Mimi smiles.
"Well we should get going, some guy is waiting to get a Jennie!" Philip laughs.
They all leave. They get to the ball and Belle and Shawn are dancing and so are Philip and Chloe. Mimi though is standing against a wall and really wondering why she came in the first place but she looked up and saw a guy. He was standing about 10 feet away at the punch bowl. He was totally checking her out and Mimi was getting unsure of herself now. The guy starting walking over to her. When he reached her he stuck her hand out to offer a dance. Mimi nodded and the two dance the rest of the night and never let go of each other. Mimi didn't have a clue who this guy was but she knew there was something about him. He was dressed up as Zorro but she could tell threw his costume that he had a nice body especially since they were pressed up against each other the while night. He had deep green eyes that she knew if she looked in them too long she would get lost in them. The last song was over and the both reluctantly parted.
Back at Belle's...
Chloe and Mimi were staying the night with Belle.
"So Meems, I saw you dancing with Zorro, who was he?" Belle asked.
"I have no idea, oh Belle we danced and just stared at each other, he was just...gosh. We never even spoke but I know there was something about him." Mimi said gushing.
"Well Monday at school we will find out who he is," Chloe says.
"But how, all I know about him is that he has beautiful green eyes. How am I going to find him at school." Mimi asks.
"Well we know he goes to Salem High and we know he has green eyes, we can figure it out from there." Belle states.
Monday at school...
"So who's this guy Chloe's trying to find for you?" Philip asks Mimi in class.
"I don't know, that's just it. We danced all night Friday and stupid me didn't get his name." Mimi said unaware that 'her' guy was sitting directly in front of her. He had been talking to Philip about finding the girl he danced with also.
Philip looked over at his friend and winked, he knew that his friend had danced with Mimi but if she knew it was she might not be as happy as she thinks. He was one of Mimi's enemies and he knew it.
"Philip? Hello?" Mimi said.
Philip had drifted off into thought about how he would get them together, "Sorry Meems, I know who your Zorro is but I'm not sure you'll want to know."
"You know? Who? Come on Phil tell me!" Mimi begged.
Philip nodded to his friend, he turned around and smiled, "Hi Miss Jeannie, remember me?"
"No! You can't be serious," Mimi was shocked, but she looked into his eyes and knew that Jason Masters was 'her' Zorro.
