Birthday Party Fiasco - Twist and Shout
"This is the best cake I've ever tasted!" Tai complimented between mouthfuls.
"Tai, that's your third piece!" Sora exclaimed, appalled.
"What's your point?" Tai replied, swallowing.
"Even I don't eat that much…" Davis muttered.
"That can be a good thing…" Kari said. Davis' eyes lit up.
"You really think so?"
"Oh boy…"
"What should we do next?" Izzy asked.
"Karaoke!" Mimi suggested.
"Twister!" TK replied at the same time.
"We seem to have a conflict of interests" Izzy stated. He closed his eyes in thought. Moments later he reopened them. "I have an idea!"
"What is it Izzy?" Yolei asked.
"Well, I was thinking we could combine the two!"
"Great idea!" Mimi replied. Izzy looked at her and smiled.
"How could we do that?" Matt asked.
"This is what I was thinking. See, the one's who are out could sing while the others play!" Izzy explained. "And the winner gets to sing the song of his or her choice!" he added.
"Sounds great!" Cody said. Tai's flopped over, and his head banged on the table.
"I don't think he wants to play" Sora giggled.
"What do you have in the way of music?" Kari asked.
"Well, I myself have a few CD's, plus a friend of mine left a couple of her CD's here, so that's an even bigger selection" Izzy replied. The group nodded, and walked out of the kitchen, leaving Tai passed out on the table. Izzy and Matt retrieved a small karaoke system, a stack of CD's, and Twister from Izzy's bedroom. Joe and TK scooted a couple chairs out of the way, Izzy and Mimi spread out the game, while Sora readied the system.
"I'll call out the positions" Joe said.
"OK" Izzy said. The remaining group stood around the mat, waiting for the first command.
"Right hand on blue" Joe said. Everyone kneeled down and found a blue space. "Left foot on yellow"
About 15 minutes later, it was down to Izzy, Mimi, and Sora, and Davis had just finished singing "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down. "Left foot on green" Joe instructed. Sora stretched to reach it, but failed and fell down.
"It's down to Izzy and Mimi!" TK said happily. Sora giggled at the soft snoring sound coming from Tai as she searched through the CD's.
"Left hand on red" Joe said. As Izzy reached for the nearest red circle, his hand brushed across Mimi's. He looked at her out of the corner of his eye, and saw she was slightly blushing. Mimi noticed that Izzy was slightly blushing. At that moment, Sora began singing "The One" by the Backstreet Boys.
"You have that CD?" Mimi whispered.
"Right foot on blue"
"It's one my friend left" Izzy whispered back.
"Oh" As Izzy moved into position, he fell over, nearly bringing Mimi down on top of him.
"Congratulations Mimi!" TK said happily.
"Thanks TK" Mimi said, standing up straight. She looked at Izzy, who was still sitting on the floor. "Need a hand?" she asked, extending her hand to Izzy. He took it, and she pulled him up. They held hands for a moment or so afterwards, before Izzy let go, blushing.
"OK Mimi, pick a song" Sora said.
'This is my chance to show Izzy how I feel' Mimi thought. She looked through the CD's, until she found the first Backstreet Boys album. 'His friend has good taste…' she thought, before taking out the CD and putting it in the machine. She glanced at Izzy, smiling to herself, before putting it on Track 3. As the music began, Mimi took in a small breath. 'Here goes…'
Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leaving my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
How you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love
Throughout the rest of the song, Mimi kept glancing at Izzy. When it was over, both of them were blushing, but the others didn't seem to notice.
"That was good Mimi!" Kari said, smiling.
"You have a beautiful voice!" Yolei complimented.
"Thanks" Mimi replied.
"What's next?" Davis asked.
"I say we wake up that thing" Sora said, pointing to Tai, "then open presents, and play another game!" Everyone nodded, and Sora walked over to the still snoring Tai. Izzy stayed behind, and began picking up the game. Mimi stopped walking and turned towards him.
"Need any help?" she asked. Izzy looked up at her from the floor and nodded. Mimi unplugged the machine and began wrapping the cord around it.
"Mimi…" Izzy said. Mimi hesitated before looking at him.
"What is it Izzy?" she asked.
"N-nothing, nevermind"
"Oh…ok…" Izzy sighed as he put the lid on the game.
'Why can't I tell her?' he wondered to himself, standing up and walking into his room. He put the game away, and turned around to see Mimi walk in his room and set the karaoke machine, and the CD's, down near Izzy's door. 'I hope this is right…'
"Come on Izzy" Mimi said quietly. Izzy nodded, and walked out of the room. As he passed Mimi, he gave her a short kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks for your help" he said quietly, before walking out and into the kitchen. Mimi watched him, slightly stunned. She slowly brought her hand up to her cheek, and touched the place Izzy had kissed her, smiling.
"This is the best cake I've ever tasted!" Tai complimented between mouthfuls.
