Attractions #3:
Daydreaming


Mimi ran up to her room and picked up the reciever. She dialed Sora's number and jumped up and down in her room until her parents yelled at her to stop.

"Hello?" Came Sora's voice.

"Sora!" Mimi exclaimed. "You won't believe what happened."

"What Mimi. Calm down and tell me."

Mimi took a big breath and told the whole story about Matt asking her out to the dance Friday.

"Wow, Mimi! That's great! Guess what!" Sora exclaimed.

"He didn't!" Mimi knew.

"He did! Tai asked me out to the dance too!" At this point both girls were jumping up and down in their rooms!

"Oh,but Mimi." Sora said stopping her celebration.

"What?" Mimi asked.

"I don't own any dresses. I play soccer. I don't have any thing...well...girly enough to go in." Sora said.

Mimi wanted to laugh out loud, but stopped herself. "No problem. That just leaves us with some shopping to do. Why don't you walk over to my house tomorrow afternoon. It's thursday and we can get the dress for Friday!" Sora was silent for a moment. Mimi knew she was reluctant so she added. "My treat?"

"Sure Mimi. Just don't go over board!" Sora said. Mimi had to laugh out loud this time. "What! What's so funny!" Sora demanded.

"Nothing....at...all" Mimi said in between breaths. They talked about various things before calling it a night. They agreed to meet and walk to school together.


Matt ran as fast as he could home and called Tai. "Tai! I did it!" Matt said without even hearing a hello on the other line.

"This is Kari. But I'll go get my brother." Kari said on the other line.

Matt felt himself blush. "Umm....yeah. Thanks Kari."

"Give me the phone!" He could hear Tai yell. "Hey Man. What's so funny?" Tai asked. "Kari's on the floor laughing so hard she couldn't give me the reciever."

"I did it! I asked Mimi out to Friday's dance and she said yes!" Matt exclaimed.

"Hey that's great! So did I!" Tai replied.

"And?" Matt asked. "She said yes?"

"Of course." Tai said. "Why would she? It's me were talking about here. She'd be nuts to say no."

Matt shook his head. You could always could on Tai to have a big ego. He thought he was the best thing next to a chocolate sunday. "Well, congradulations Tai." He said.

"Yeah you too man!" Tai said. "I gotta go! I talk to ya at school." Tai said.

"See ya!" Matt replied and hung up the phone. Matt already planned on what he was going to wear. He knew Mimi would wear pink so he made sure he'd get a pink carnation to put in his tux. He could only imagine what Mimi was going to look like.

*Daydream*

Matt walked to Mimi's house and stood at the door. He was nervous and his heart was going a million miles an hour. He slowly raised his hands and knocked on the door. Mimi opened the door and Matt was dumbfounded. (I don't mean that literally. So Yama fans don't take offense).

Mimi was dressed in a pink dress that was short sleeved. It fit her body perfectly. The bottom spread out and gave her room to move and dance.

Mimi smiled, "Shall we go?" She asked.

Matt nodded and offered his arm. She took it and they went to the dance.

At the dance the music had already began to play. "Care to dance, my lady?" He asked. (Now you know it's a dream.) She giggled and took his hand. He led her to the floor, just when a slow song started. He put his on her hips and she hooked her arms around his neck. They dance tot he music and paid attention to only each other.

They didn't notice that the kids who were on the dance floor started making a circle around them. After the song was over, Mimi and Matt stood there for a while until they heard the claps of thier classmates. Matt was caught up in the moment. He leaned in and was about to kiss Mimi when.......

*End Daydream*

Matt heard his alarm go off. He had set it to remind him to make dinner before his dad came home. He usually made dinner so his dad could eat when he got home. He usually got home late and in a grumpy mood. Matt got up and went to the kitchen. Friday would come soon enough. He would just have to wait.


Sora was in her room thinking about Tai. She'd known him for a while, but had a crush for must of that time. Now that she was older, what would she do about it? She was thrilled about going on the date but wasn't sure how it would turn out.
She only hoped Mimi would help her enough so Tai would see her as a girl and not just his teammate. Sora sighed and got into bed. She had a feeling she would need all her strength to survive with Mimi in the mall.


Mimi was in bed but couldn't sleep. She kept thinking about Matt and what he was going to look like at the dance. She nodded off to bed thinking of him.

*Dream*

Mimi and Matt entered the school dance and Mimi was astonished when she looked around. There were pink decorations all over the place. It didn't looked like the school at all but a bit ballroom. Mimi heard music. It was a waltz and Matt led her to the floor. They were other people, but at the sight of the couple they all filed off the stage.

Matt took Mimi's right hand in his left and wrapped his other hand around her waist. He brought her closer and she felt herself getting hotter. She slowly placed her left hand on his shoulder and he began to lead her around the floor.

She just noticed how handsome he looked. He had on a tux with a white carnation. He had his hair perfect and he had on cologne that Mimi loved. They danced all around the floor, the music just in the backround. They focused on each other and danced like there was no tomorrow.

At the end of the dance, Mimi was enchanted by Matt dancing abilities and wanted to kiss him. She leaned in to kiss him and he did the same.

*End Dream*

BBZZZZ!!!!!!

Mimi awoke with that darn alarm again. She slapped it off the dresser and got up. Today she would buy a dress that would make Matt melt. Mimi got ready and set off to meet Sora.


Tai met Matt on the way to school. "I'm a little nervous about tomorrow." Tai started. "What if I can't dance?"

Matt laughed. Here was Tai, the all perfect, and he was worried about a little dance. "You'll do fine. If I can. You can."

Matt tried to convince himself. He let Tai get the best of him and said he would ask Mimi out, but he wasn't all that good of a dancer. He would just have to hope for the best.


That afternoon, Mimi took Sora to the mall. They went to one of the dress shops and started trying on dresses. Mimi found one that would just knock Matt dead. Mimi then started looking for one for Sora.

She found the perfect one and asked Sora to try it on. Sora agreed and went to the dressing room. When she came out, Mimi was, to say the least, struck with awe. The dress had thick straps that held it up and the top hugged her body. After the waist, it went out. The dress came with gloves that went to the elbow and matched the dress' color, lavender. It was definalty her color. They bought the dresses and started home.

"Mimi. Are you sure this isn't too much?" Sora asked.

Mimi shook her head. "We'll be the pretties girls there and we'll have the most handsome guys too!" Mimi replied.

Sora agreed with that. Tai and her would make the perfect couple. Mimi and Matt went well together too. Tomorrow would be a day to remember.
