An Unfolded Surprise

Chapter Four - Mask Ball dream

So this is where we ended. Oh yeah, I'm finishing up a Valentine story. Maybe tomorrow I'll submit it, but for now, I have to fix some stuff on it. Anyways... ENJOY!

Matt jumped out of the stage and asked me out to go to the restaurant to talk about the Christmas party. I have totally no idea who to choose to go to. Josh or Matt? I felt dizzy and I really don't know what to do now. Then all of the sudden, everything went black.

"Sora, wake up!"
"Are you awake?"
"Is she okay?"
"Hey look, she's opening her eyes."
"Sora, can you hear us?"
"Wake up. Sora, you there?"
"Hey Matt, play your guitar to get her attention."
Matt played his guitar and people kept on trying to wake up Sora. Suddenly, she did.
"Uh, where am I? What happened?"
"Sora, you passed out at the concert right infront of Josh and Matt." Mimi explained.
"Oh, wait. Where's Josh?" I wondered.
"He's right beside you."
I turned my head to the right and I saw his sparkling emerald eyes. I smiled and felt a tap on my fingers.
"Hey, you okay? You got us worried back there. What happened?" Matt asked in bewilderment.
"Confusion. That's what. Oh, and where am I?"
"At the Odaiba Hospital. You weren't breathing for moments and so we took you here."
"Well am I okay now? I mean, I'm perfectly fine. It's just, I have a bad headache. You guys were asking me to go to the resturant, movies, or whatever and I really couldn't decide. Then everything went black from there. I really can't remember anything right now."
"It'll be okay Sor. You don't have to go with me if you want to. I mean you can go with Josh and..."
"I really didn't know who to decide. I was looking at you two back and forth. I guess I'm staying here for a while."
I looked at the clock realizing it was six in the morning. "Did you guys stay this late for me?"
"No, we went to sleep here in the hospital and woke up to wake you up." Everyone said.
"Oh, how long am I staying here?"
"Just a few hours Sor. I'll drive you home so you can take some rest." Matt suggested.
"Thanks. I really appreciate it."
"Oh, I found this on the table." Josh said holding up a letter which looks like an ordinary note from the mystery guy. I opened up the letter and read the note.

Dear Sora,
Sorry I didn't get you a gift to come with the note. I know you were looking forward to one. So, do you still have Flower? Oh, I heard that you passed out at the concert. Well it's okay. I understand. My initials are YMI. You just have to figure out what those letters stand for. Did Josh and Matt get your head dizzy somehow? As if you can't concentrate who to go out with? Well, if you have anytime, meet me at the Mask Ball which will be held at the Center Building of Odaiba. If you don't come, I understand, and remeber. I'll be wearing a mask.
Always, YMI

I folded up the note and put it into my bag which was sitting right in the table right beside me. I lifted myself up from the bed and sat down. I thought about what has happened in the past and wondered what I've dreamt of while I passed out. It was about a Ball that was coming up. But it was just not one ordinary Ball. It's the Mask Ball. Anybody can come in and out anytime they want, but the rule is that they must have a mask on in order to enter.

Dream

I looked beyond the Ball room to see if YMI is really here. Then, out of the blue, somebody called my name. Could it be, could that be who I think it is? I walked around, wondering who could've possibly called out my name. Those familiar voices, which would be Josh and Matt. Those two have been fighting for me ever since Josh asked me out. I really don't get it, why me? I mean, nothing important is coming up instead of the Christmas party which will be held at Matt's house. I caught a glimpse of blonde hair and ran up to where it is. The scent of Matt's colone grew stronger and I could see the blonde hair sticking out, out of the crowd. I managed to squeeze through a couple of people and stopped to realize that Matt and Josh are right infront of me.

"Hey Sor, so are you having a great time?" Matt wondered.
"Yeah, of course I am. Why wouldn't I have any fun? I mean all of my friends are here. So let's enjoy this Ball together until it lasts."
"Cool. Why don't Josh and I take turns dancing with you? I mean that would be a fair way to settle it. Besides, we will have another fight."
"You know what? I actually think that I won't be dancing right now. And it's kind of kiddy for you two to fight over a girl. It's practically every girls dream for boys to fight over her, but it seems so awkward. Besides, I'm waiting for someone special." I announced.
"YOU ARE?!?!" Josh and Matt exclaimed at the same time.
"Yeah, I'm sorry if I can't dance with you two. I really want to, but my feet are killing me right now." I lied.
"Oh, we understand. Come on Matt, let's dance with other girls besides standing here." Josh said leaving Matt and I alone.
"You sure you'll be okay?" Matt reasured.
"Yeah, go on. I'll be fine. Thanks for asking." I said.
"No problem. What are friends here for?" He said leaving while disappearing in the crowd.
"Wow, so Matt and Josh right? Fighting over you?" a mysterious person said standing next to me.
I sat down and wondered, "who are you?"
"Well, this is kind of not expecting, but here I am." the mystery guy said.
Then I realized that this was YMI. "Oh my gosh, here you are. Right in front of me."
"Yeah. Look Sora, I know this is a little too early, but I'm going to reveal myself. This can be surprising or shocking."
"Hold on, don't take your mask off yet. We'll have to go outside or someone will tell that you don't have a mask on. And of course, this event is called the Mask Ball."
"Yeah, that's true Sora. Before you go outside, one dance?"
"Yes."
Matt and Josh were out of sight and before I knew it, the mystery guy and I were dancing in the middle of the Ballroom. His dancing was very graceful and professional, it felt like I was dancing with an angel. A couple minutes later, the music stopped and everybody went to the food tables to eat. I drank a cup of water and the mystery guy took me outside so he could show me who he was.
"Sora, just to let you know. Whatever you think of me, we'll always be friends, correct?"
"Yes."
I lifted my hands and held the mask. Slowly, I lifted it and his face started to appear. It was...
I woke up.
Dream over.

I sat on the bed of the hospital while my friends were sitting in the waiting room. I wondered who was that guy who was hidden under the mask in my dream. Could it possibly be Matt or Josh? I really can't decide who is who. The mystery guy's mask was nothing like Matts' and Joshs'. The masks look different from one another. Suddenly, there as a knock on the door. The door was ajar and a note flew in my room landing on the bed. When I looked up, the door was closed and I knew that that was probably YMI the mystery guy. I reached out for the note and opened it.

Dear Sora,
There is only a couple more days until the Mask Ball and the Christmas party. You might be gathering all the clues together and probably figuring out who this is. At the Mask Ball, I will be wearing a white mask with the letters YMI on it. I'll be looking forward on seeing you. Oh yeah, there was a dress code that all the men have to follow. Wear a black suit and a white tie and different masks. But for girls, you can wear whatever dress you would like. I just recieved a letter from the Mask Ball manager about this years' dress code for the annual Mask Ball. I'm really looking forward on seeing you in your stunning dress.
YMI

There was an instinct of mine that told me that this letter was from Matt. Without typing it, it was hand written. He probably written it today in the waiting room of the hospital because Izzy wasn't around with his computer. I know Matt's handwriting and this is his. Or maybe Josh made Matt write the note because he didn't have a computer at the moment and probably used this to trick me. But I know that Matt wouldn't do that for anybody. I really don't know what Josh's handwriting looks like, but I sense that this is way different. I saw him write his name on a piece of paper once in the eighth grade when he was assigned to sit next to me. It's a whole different style. Then there was another knock at the door and it was...

Sorry it took a while for me to update. Valentines Day. Oh yeah, I'm almost done with that one shot. And like I'm finishing the fifth chapter of this. Mystery right? Well stay tune for the fifth chapter. Later.
