Attractions #2:
Mimi got to Sora's with no problem. Sora had walked with Mimi to her house, then after changing clothes they went to Sora's. Sora got her skates, gave one set to Mimi, then they headed to the park.
"I don't know about this Sora. What if a make a fool of myself? In front of Matt?" Mimi questioned.
"Don't worry about it. Matt's a really good skater and he'll teach you in no time." Sora assured her. They got to the park and saw Tai and Matt already there. Sora smiled and grabbed Mimi's hand and pulled her over. "Hey guys! You ready?"
Tai held up a thumbs up. "Oh yeah, I'm ready to whoop your butt!" He said.
Matt just shook his head and smiled. "You ready Mimi?" He asked. He looked at her. She had changed into some jean shorts, but had kept on the pink tank top.
She nodded and smiled. "You have to make sure I don't fall." She said. She looked at those blue eyes and was instantly mesmorized.
Matt in turn looked at her with a smile on his face. "You have my word. I won't let you fall. Now come on." He held out his hand.
Mimi was a little nervous and looked over at Sora. She mouthed a 'go for it' and slightly pushed Mimi towards Matt. Mimi took his hand and he led her to the park path. She was wobly at first but soon stayed level. Still holding on to Matt they proceeded to skate. Mimi watched what Matt did and tried to do what he was doing. She had her other hand out for balance but soon could keep up with him.
"I'm gonna let go now. Ready?" Matt said.
"Umm. Ok." She replied slowly. He let go of her hand and she started going very slowly by herself.
He sped up and turned around. He started going backwards in front of her. "See! You got it!" He held out both hands and she took them. Still going backwards he led her through the path. He let go sometimes and circled around her. She keeped going straight and thought to keep it simple.
Mimi couldn't help but love every time Matt held her hands. She felt like electricity was sent through her. He did a one-eighty in front of her and started going back wards again. She laughed. "Now you're just showing off!"
Matt shrugged and kept going back wards. "Hey! When you got it! You got it!" Matt was paying so much attention to Mimi he didn't see the boy on the bike coming up on the path behind him.
"Matt!" Mimi cried. "Watch out!"
Matt turned around just in time to see it coming. He dodged out of the way, but Mimi wasn't so lucky. She was so worried about Matt she didn't move out of the way herself. The biker saw her and swirved to the side. Mimi lost her balance and started to wobble. She wouldv'e fallen if Matt hadn't caught her. She felt his arms around her and could feel herself blush. "Thanks." She managed to whisper.
Matt smiled and help her up. "Hey, I always keep my word."
Right then Tai and Sora joined them. "Hey! How are you guys doin'?" Tai asked coming to a stop. Sora stopped right next to him. They had both been blading around trying to out skate and out jump each other.
Mimi noticed she was still holding Matt's hand and let go blushing. "We're fine. I think I've got the hang of it now."
"That's great 'cause Sora and I came up with an idea. You girls can hang on to us while we skate through the park." Tai replied.
Mimi was a little nervous about that one. "Uhh, well, I don't think I'm that good yet."
Sora put her arm around her. "That's the point. You don't have to do anything. Matt will do the skating for you. You just have to hold on."
"I don't know about that. She's just getting used to it." Matt said nervously. He already liked Mimi, but having her hang on to his waist? Could he handle that?
Tai looked at him skeptically. "You mean you're afraid to skate with a girl?"
Matt glared at him, while Mimi just blushed. "I'm not afraid. I just don't want Mimi to fall."
"That's Ok, Matt. If I hang on, I can't fall right?" Mimi said.
"Then it's settled." Sora said. She skated forward and grabbed on to Tai's waist. She looked over at Mimi and indicated her to do the same. Mimi looked over at Matt. He glared at Tai and turned around. Mimi reluctatly put her hands around his waist. She wrapped them around loosly at first a little uncomfortable. But soon, once they started moving, she grabbed on tighter. Not for fun, but because she was afraid she'd fall.
Sora was over next to her laughing. Mimi noticed that they were going extra fast and semmed to be going faster. "Matt? Can you slow down?" She asked.
Matt didn't even hear her. He was glaring at Tai with looks that could kill. He knew Tai did this on purpose. He just narrowed his eyes until they were just slits of ice and stared at the brown hair boy skating next to him. Tai kept going faster and Matt had to sped up to stay with him. He wasn't going to let Tai humiliate him. He totally forgot about Mimi and kept going faster.
Sora saw what was happening. "Mimi! Let go!"
"No were going too fast!" Mimi yelled.
"Mimi you have to!" Sora replied.
Mimi saw she had no other choice and let go. There was a curve in the oath. The boys went to the left, following the poth, while Mimi, not knowing how to turn, kept going straight. "Matt!!" She yelled.
Matt heard Mimi's cry for help as she started off the path onto another sidewalk.. Matt cursed himself for not listening and immediatly turned around. He had to fight through the crowd before he had a clear shot at her. He saw her path of flight (so to speak) and saw she was heading right for a tree.
"Grab my hand!" He told her. She latched out with her left and grabbed his right hand. He gave a good tug and she twirled around to face him. She instictivly took her right hand and wrapped it around his shoulder.
Not having enought time to avoid the tree, Matt turned them both around and slammed his back into the tree. (Don't worry, it wasn't a big, big tree) Mimi slammed into him, but he cushioned her fall. They stood there for a moment until Tai and Sora came over.
"Are you Ok?" Sora asked.
Mimi pulled away from Matt. "I guess so."
Matt looked at the ground. "I'm sorry Mimi. I shouldn't have gone so fast."
Mimi smiled. "That's OK. You still kept you word."
Matt looked up and smiled. He looked into those eyes of hers and felt shivers go down his spine.
"Yeah I got to hand it to ya dude!" Tai said interupting his fantasy. "That was one cool rescue!" Tai patted him on the back.
"Now I don't know about you! But I feel like something to eat! How about we go tho the little cafe at the other end of the park and take a rest?" Sora suggested.
Tai nodded his agreement. "Yeah, beating Sora is really exhausting." He yawned to emphasize his point.
Sora's eyes went wide. "Beat me!" She took that as a challange and started chasing him on her blades. Tai took off and Mimi and Matt just stared at each other.
Mimi shook her head and laughed. Matt offered her his hand and together they went off to follow the others.
The trip was uneventful, say for Tai and Sora chasing each other this way and that. Mimi took this time to talk to Matt. She learned that he had a little brother named T.K. that went to another school. Apperently, Matt's parents had went their separate ways and now T.K. lived with his mom and Matt lived with thier dad.
Mimi thought it was sad to have to go through what Matt did. She saw him in a new light. Not one of symathy and pity, but strenght and devotion. Even though they were apart, Matt still made it a point to see his brother every weekend. Even if it was on the other side of town.
When they got to the hut, both Sora and Tai bought enough to eat for all of them. They must've been hungry. Mimi wasn't really that hungry and took the time to change into her shoes. Matt did the same and took off his blades.
Mimi noticed it was sunset and saw the beautiful sight. "Hey Sora? I'm going to go over and watch the sun set, Ok?"
Sora looked up from stuffing her face and nodded. Mimi went off and Mattt wasn't sure if he should follow. Tai elbowed him and flicked his head towards Mimi, indicating him to follow. Matt sighed and put on his shoes.
He followed Mimi and came up beside her. "Hey. Want company?" He asked.
Mimi looked over at him and smiled, then nodded. They went to a bench that faced the sun and started to watch it's final departure. Matt thought this a good time to bring out his harmonica. "Do you want to hear another song?"
Mimi opened her mouth and nodded. "I'd love that!" Matt put the harmonica to his mouth and started playing a soft tune. He didn't really know the song, he just let the notes come to him. He thought of the day, of Mimi, of how he felt for her. The music that was produced was little less than amazing.
Mimi listened and watched the sun touch the horizon. She felt the music penetrate her soul and felt her heart beat to the tune. He was playing her song. She knew it. After the sun set, the song ending and Mimi and Matt went to rejoin the others.
"So how did you two love bir.." Tai was cut off by Sora elbowing him in the ribs.
"How was it?" Sora asked instead.
Mimi looked up at Matt and replied dreamily. "It was beautiful."
Sora and Mimi separated to go home, but Matt insisted he walk her home.
"This is very sweet of you Matt. Thank you." Mimi said.
Matt looked at her and smiled. "No problem. I just want to make sure you get home safe."
Mimi could tell that was only partially the truth. Matt was nervous about somthing. But what?
"Mimi." Matt said after as while.
"Yes?" Mimi turned to him.
"I was wondering..ummm" He started. "There's a dance Friday and I thought maybe....... you might...... possibly want to go with me. As my date." He finally said.
Mimi was nothing short of surprised. She had known of the dance Friday, but didn't really plan to go. "Well," She considered. She looked up at saw him looking at her with a worried expression. She smiled. "I'd love to."
You could see Matt visably relax and smiled. "Great! That's terrific." Matt then continued to walk her home and saw her disappear into her house.
Mimi didn't see, but as soon as she closed the door, Matt jumped up in the air and let out a "Whoo Hoo!" He as fast as he could home. He was going to call Tai.
