The night of the party was damp and soggy. It had rained all through yesterday, and the streets, full of potholes, were filled with puddles. As part of their vacation, Akira and the others had been invited to Mimi's, in New York, for a get together party. It was hard finding something to wear. So Akira called up Mimi and explained her dilemma. "Oh, that's fine, Akira. I'm sure we can find you something out of my closet. Come on over, and bring a set of nice shoes with you, to change into later," Mimi said. So Akira waved down a taxi and took off in the direction of Mimi's house.
As soon as she got there, Akira was pulled into a friendly hug as Mimi welcomed her. "Come on in, I think I have the perfect thing." Akira followed her friend up the stairs to her room, where elegant dresses were draped over the bed. The walls were a pale pink, and the curtains and lampshades matched. The tall, mahogany four-poster bed was covered in a silky pink curtain, only a shade darker than the curtains. The thick carpet was a bold strawberry pink, almost red in the dim light. The dresser was covered in little trinkets and past issues of Teen Magazine, and it's smooth white wood stood out in the pink-coated room. Also on the bed were stuffed toys, all of which had large, innocent-looking eyes. Everything finally taken in, Akira was handed a dark blue, sleeve-less straight dress. Mimi stared at it dreamily. "It'll look good with your eyes. Brings out the blue in them," she said. Akira was a little skeptical, but she decided to trust her friend's judgment. "Ok, Mimi. I'll go try it on."
When she came back, Mimi's eyes widened in shock. "you look beautiful, 'Kira. Simply beautiful." Akira wasn't at all surprised at her reaction. The dress fit her perfectly, and Mimi was right. It DID bring out the blue in her eyes. But the fact that it was short enough that it didn't even cover her knees was making her a little uneasy. She told Mimi so. "Oh, it's alright. The boys will go nuts!"
Including a 'certain someone?' a voice in the back of her head said. But she didn't tell Mimi. "That's what I was afraid of..." she lied. "Oh, lighten up! It's about time you were getting 'interested'." Oh Mimi, I have... said the voice. Shut up! She told it.
