~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi lain upon her couch as the bright sun peered into her living room, giving her small body great warmth. Mimi grumbled. She was mentally going crazy! She hadn´t been out of her house in what felt like forever!...even though it has only been one day. She couldn´t leave her house and take the chance that one of her friends would see her. Tomorrow was the dance and Mimi would love to feel free again! Shopping malls, Ice Cream shops, the works! Mimi looked up from the living room couch and into the kitchen where her mom was humming a happy tune to herself, as she washed the dishes in a low filled sink. She was as perky as usual. This made Mimi envious! "ARG!"
Mimi´s mom turned to the sound of her daughter´s distress. "What´s wrong hunny?"
Mimi grumbled. "Nothing..."
Mrs. Tachikawa smiled. "Dear. Something is wrong. I have just noticed that you haven´t been out of this house. Didn´t you have friends here? Why not go play and meet up with them?"
Mimi sighed. "Mama! I already told you! I can´t!" She sat up on the couch and looked out the big glass balcony window. "I have to wait till tomorrow."
Mimi´s mom wiped her wet hands on her apron. "Tomorrow?" She walked to the couch and sat beside her Mimi. "What is tomorrow?"
Mimi smiled. "A dance." Mimi thought of all her friends faces...and Matt, her somewhat date. "They are having a dance tomorrow. I´ll see all my friends then." She turned away from the window and stared into her now hyper mother. Mrs. Tachikawa was smiling bigger than she ever did before. Mimi shrunk back. "What?"
"Mimi!" Her mom wrapped her arms around her daughter and cried.
Mimi sweat-dropped. "Um...Mama? What´s wrong?"
"I am just happy!" She released herself from Mimi. "I have such a great plan to make you happy again!" Mrs. Tachikawa grabbed Mimi´s hand and pulled her up from the couch. She dragged Mimi to the front door. Mrs. Tachikawa then dug through her purse and pulled out a load of cash. "Here dear! Take this money and go buy yourself a new dress for this dance! That should make you happy!"
Mimi gawked! "But Ma..."
Mimi´s mother cut her off. "Go! Hurry before the stores close! You better buy the prettiest one there!" She grabbed Mimi´s shoes and purse and handed them to her daughter. "Go!" She opened the door and shoved Mimi out.
Mimi stood outside of her apartment door bare footed and with no make-up. What just happened? Oh NO! Mimi slapped her hand to her face! She couldn´t believe her mother would be so ditzy and not think things through! Mimi´s friends might see her if she went shopping! That would ruin Matt and her surprise! Mimi turned back to the door and tried to open it...the nob wouldn´t even turn! HER MOTHER LOCKED HER OUT! The strawberry haired girl groaned. This was not happening! Of all times for her mom to be clueless...it had to be now! Mimi sighed. She slipped on her shoes that she held and sat by the front door to place on her make-up. She might as well go shopping. Mimi smiled as she held the money. "A new dress would be nice." She thought for a second. `I know! I´ll just go to a high and fancy store that I know of. None of my friends will be there! Delacrue here I come!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yolei dragged Sora out of her mom´s car. "Come on Sora! We´re here!"
Sora smiled. "Yolei! Why are you so hyper?"
Yolei shrugged with a smile on her face as she kept pulling Sora. "I don´t know." She shut her mom´s car door. Yolei peered into an opened window of the car to the driver seat. "Thanks for dropping us off sis!"
Yolei´s sister gave a thumbs up and started to drive away slowly. "I´ll pick you two up in two hours ok!" She kept driving forward slowly. Yolei gave a thumbs up and nodded. Her sister picked up speed and drove off.
As Yolei was waving bye to her sister, Sora was in wonder. "Yolei? What is this place? I have never been here before!"
Yolei turned to Sora and smiled. "Oh! Mimi told me about it long ago! This is where I bought my dress!"
Sora smiled. The building they stood in front of was gorgeous! It had a glass dome in the center and was built with pink bricks. People were moving in and out carrying large shopping bags. Sora stared upon the golden name. "Wow! How do you pronounce that name?"
Yolei grabbed Sora´s arm. "It is pronounced...Delacrue!"
Sora and Yolei walked into the entrance of Delacrue with Sora still in wonder. Sora stared upon the design of the building. Marble floors with little blue roses in the center, diamond lights, and classical music playing in the back drop...the place seemed like a ball room! Sora smiled and bounced with happiness! "Look at all the dresses Yolei! They all look very pretty!"
Yolei grinned. "I know..." She then thought of the plan. `Plus...I´ll see to it that you get the perfect one,´ she thought. Yolei stood beside Sora and grabbed her arm again. "Come on Sora! We only have two hours to get the perfect dress for you!" She dragged Sora off.
~~~~~~~~~~
Yolei browsed through the clothes line and grabbed a dress practically ever two seconds. When she was done picking, she brought them to a very ecstatic Sora who was simply being choosy. "Sora! Come on! You don´t be so picky! Grab a dress that looks fine and mossy on to the dressing rom!" Yolei threw all of the dresses she held into Sora´s arms. Talk about heavy!
Sora sweat-dropped at the pile of dresses she held. "Yolei...this is a bit much. Don´t you think?"
Yolei shrugged. "Hey come on! What is the harm of trying on a few dresses?" She smiled and dragged Sora off again...this time to the dressing room.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi sighed and smiled upon her favorite dress shop...Delacrue. Everything in it was like a dream to her! The walls were pink...and it was very classy! Mimi pulled a few strands of hair from her eyes and made her way inside.
~~~~~~~~~~
"SORA! Let me see!"
"I am NOT coming out!" Sora sounded very disgusted. "I can´t even believe you picked up THIS dress! What would Tai think!!!"
Yolei sighed. "I wouldn´t know Sora...if you don´t let me SEE!" The agitated girl tapped her foot and waited for her friend to step out from behind the doors.
Sora sighed and stepped out embarrassingly. "Don´t laugh ok?"
Yolei grumbled. "Fine! Just let me see Sora!"
The red head stepped out from behind the doors fully and began to blush. Yolei gawked! Now she couldn´t believe she picked out that dress! What was she thinking!? The dress was cut high to where it reached half-way up Sora´s thighs, It was backless and was kept up by a string around Sora´s neck. It was a color red and had a low cut front! Yolei shuddered at the sight. Sora grew mad. "I look like a slut..." she said simply.
Yolei nodded. "I am sorry Sora...go! Take it off!" Yolei felt so bad. She wanted Sora to impress Tai...not seduce HIM! Yolei laughed a bit at the thought. Sora went back into the dressing room. Yolei leaned against the side wall and smiled as she thought about the next process of Izzy´s plan. The girl cleared her throat and spoke to Sora very carefully. "So um...Sora?"
"Yeah?" Sora struggled a bit as she took off the skankish dress.
"Well I am just curious about a few things..." Yolei smiled.
Sora wasn´t really paying attention to Yolei much... "About what?"
"Well...about Tai."
Sora blushed...she was fully paying attention now. "What...about...him...?"
Yolei could hear the nervousness in Sora´s voice. it was pretty funny. The girl giggled and continued. "What made you decide to go to the dance with him?"
If Yolei could look at Sora on the other side of the door...she would have seen a tomato. Sora was blushing like crazy. The red head leaned against the walls of the small room, somewhat bare. She thought about it for a second. Why did she agree to go with Tai? Sora thought back to when Tai asked her. Matt was picking on him for some reason...then her blonde friend said that Tai wanted to go with her. Sora smiled to herself...she remembered...remembered how she felt. She felt like she was flying the moment she heard that. Sora sighed to herself.
Yolei heard a sigh from her side of the door. "Sora?"
Sora popped out of her thoughts. Her friend wanted to know...Sora gleamed slyly to herself. "The same reason you wanted to go with Izzy."
Yolei gawked and blushed. She wasn´t suspecting Sora to respond with a backfire! Yolei thought about the response. `Did Sora know I like Izzy? No impossible! She must think that I am going with Izzy...just to go. If that is so, then Sora is replying that she is going with Tai...just to go. But! What if Sora knew that I liked Izzy? Then Sora is going with Tai because she likes Tai. Well if that is true, then Sora knows that I like Izzy!´ Yolei was losing herself in the complicated thought.
Sora smiled to herself. She knew Yolei wouldn´t answer. Sora giggled. "Yolei?"
The purple haired girl snapped from her thought. "Yeah?"
"Hand me another dress..."
Yolei sighed. So much for the idea of figuring out how Sora felt about Tai. Yolei grabbed the next dress in the line of choices and threw it over the door for awaiting girl to try on.
The process went like this for basically an hour! The dresses were either to short, to long, to dark to where it didn´t look right on Sora, to slutish, to oldish, to NOT THERE! Yolei grew bored! Izzy told her to find a great dress for Sora...WHO KNEW IT WOULD BE SO HARD! Sora came out at last in her original clothing. She frowned. "This isn´t working...I feel so dirty now! Those dresses were not me at all!" She looked down at her feet.
Yolei frowned along with Sora. "Come on Sora...lets keep looking. I am sure the perfect dress is somewhere here." Yolei placed her hand on Sora´s back in comfort.
Sora smiled. "I guess...You know something. I wish Mimi were here. She always had a sense of great fashion. Even though she wore things a bit wild and to crazy for me!" She and Yolei laughed.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi hummed to herself happily as she browsed through the dress line. So many to choose from!! She grabbed a few pink ones, a few green ones, and a few blue. She stopped her browsing when she came upon a lovely dress! It was a light reddish-pink, it had a look to where it would go to a person´s knees, a criss-cross string backing, and small spaghetti straps to hold it up. Mimi smiled to herself. It was a lovely dress...but it wasn´t her. It probably would look great on someone like...someone like Sora. She held onto the dress for a while. For some reason...she didn´t want to put it down. Mimi grabbed a few more dresses and walked toward the dressing room.
When she got there she looked through all the dresses in her hand. The reddish-pink one stood out on top. Mimi looked at it and sighed. She placed it upon the outside rack of unwanted dresses and walked inside the dressing room, turning to the left.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sora and Yolei walked out of the dressing room from the right. "Don´t worry Sora...I am sure there is a dress perfect for you. We just have to keep our eyes opened." Yolei walked ahead of Sora and off to dress hunt again.
Sora kept frowning. Did she just not look good in a dress for some reason. Maybe she shouldn´t have agreed to go to the dance at all. She let out a distressful sigh as she stood in front of the dressing room entrance. She looked around to see where Yolei went off to...but her eyes caught something. On the unwanted rack...that was it! The dress for her! She walked up to it quickly and pulled the reddish-pink dress from the rack. It wasn´t to short...to low cut...to long...to flashy...to sluty...IT WAS TO PERFECT! She looked around for Yolei with the biggest smile she had all day! She shrugged and went to go try it on.
Sora entered the dressing room and turned left. She walked and looked to see if there were any opened doors. Sora walked casually and found one. She walked into it and got ready to try on the dress. Sora hummed happily to herself at her great luck!
~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi heard a door closing in the dressing room beside her and listened as the girl in it hummed to herself. Mimi shrugged and glanced at all the dress and scanned them over first. She placed some to the side. Those didn´t look right from first sight...so she wouldn´t even bother trying them on. Mimi narrowed her choices to two dresses. Mimi began to try on both. One dress was a light pink gown the flowed to her feet. It was tight all around and covered most of her body. Mimi frowned and shook her head. If she chose this dress, she would automatically get hot. Mimi slipped it off and grabbed her other choice. When she tried it on...it was like magic! The dress was white and sleeveless. It flowed to her knees and felt light. It wasn´t to tight or to loose. It was pure backless and was held up by a neck string.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi stared at her reflection in the mirror.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sora stared at her reflection in the mirror.
~~~~~~~~~~
They both smiled. This was the dress they had to have.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sora slipped off the dress and checked the price tag. It was $110! Perfect! She had $130...so she had about enough. Sora changed back into her clothes and grabbed her dream dress. She walked out of her dressing room. On her way out...she heard a loud thump from the room beside her. Sora shrugged and walked out to find Yolei.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi slipped on one of her disguarded silk dresses below her and fell with a loud thump. She groaned and rubbed her back in pain. She cursed the horrid dress and threw it across her small dressing room. Mimi stood up and gathered her dresses and the one she wanted to buy. She exited the dressing room and placed the unwanted dresses upon the rack. She stared at the rack and noticed that the reddish-pink one was taken off. Mimi sighed and walked to the cash register. She felt like she could have gotten that dress for Sora...but someone already took it.
~~~~~~~~~~
Yolei glanced at Sora in wonder as the red head showed her the dress while doing poses. Sora placed the dress over her body and flashed it around. Yolei smiled and bounced! It was perfect! Who knew that Sora would find the dress that Yolei thought was perfect to impress Tai! "That is such a lovely dress Sora!"
Sora smiled and folded the dress in her arms. "It is! I tried it on and it fits well too! Come on! Lets go buy it and head out..." Sora turned and walked to the register. Yolei followed.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi payed $128 for the dress. At first she thought it was an outrageous price and started to complain...but in the end...she payed the $128.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sora and Yolei walked to the cash register and heard some girl complaining over the price of a dress. Yolei laughed. "That girl needs a nap." Sora nodded. But...that voice sounded very familiar...but she couldn´t put her finger on it. Sora didn´t bother thinking about it.
Sora arrived at the cash register...payed $123/tax...and grabbed Yolei to go home.
Yolei called her sister and she soon arrived. Sora got into the car with Yolei and headed to her apartment. On the drive there...Sora saw a strange flash of pink. But when she turned...the car had already turned a corner...and Sora lost sight of the color.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi bounced happily back to her apartment. She bought a great dress...minus the price problem...and she wasn´t spotted by any of her friends. She knew no one would be a Delacrue. Mimi smiled at her day and headed home...
~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi walked to her room and hung her dress in the closet. She laid down upon her bed and thought about tomorrow´s events...and Matt. She smiled and took a small nap.

Yolei could hear the nervousness in Sora´s voice. it was pretty funny. The girl giggled and continued. "What made you decide to go to the dance with him?"
If Yolei could look at Sora on the other side of the door...she would have seen a tomato. Sora was blushing like crazy. The red head leaned against the walls of the small room, somewhat bare. She thought about it for a second. Why did she agree to go with Tai? Sora thought back to when Tai asked her. Matt was picking on him for some reason...then her blonde friend said that Tai wanted to go with her. Sora smiled to herself...she remembered...remembered how she felt. She felt like she was flying the moment she heard that. Sora sighed to herself.
Yolei heard a sigh from her side of the door. "Sora?"
Sora popped out of her thoughts. Her friend wanted to know...Sora gleamed slyly to herself. "The same reason you wanted to go with Izzy."
Yolei gawked and blushed. She wasn´t suspecting Sora to respond with a backfire! Yolei thought about the response. `Did Sora know I like Izzy? No impossible! She must think that I am going with Izzy...just to go. If that is so, then Sora is replying that she is going with Tai...just to go. But! What if Sora knew that I liked Izzy? Then Sora is going with Tai because she likes Tai. Well if that is true, then Sora knows that I like Izzy!´ Yolei was losing herself in the complicated thought.
Sora smiled to herself. She knew Yolei wouldn´t answer. Sora giggled. "Yolei?"
The purple haired girl snapped from her thought. "Yeah?"
"Hand me another dress..."
Yolei sighed. So much for the idea of figuring out how Sora felt about Tai. Yolei grabbed the next dress in the line of choices and threw it over the door for awaiting girl to try on.
The process went like this for basically an hour! The dresses were either to short, to long, to dark to where it didn´t look right on Sora, to slutish, to oldish, to NOT THERE! Yolei grew bored! Izzy told her to find a great dress for Sora...WHO KNEW IT WOULD BE SO HARD! Sora came out at last in her original clothing. She frowned. "This isn´t working...I feel so dirty now! Those dresses were not me at all!" She looked down at her feet.
Yolei frowned along with Sora. "Come on Sora...lets keep looking. I am sure the perfect dress is somewhere here." Yolei placed her hand on Sora´s back in comfort.
Sora smiled. "I guess...You know something. I wish Mimi were here. She always had a sense of great fashion. Even though she wore things a bit wild and to crazy for me!" She and Yolei laughed.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi hummed to herself happily as she browsed through the dress line. So many to choose from!! She grabbed a few pink ones, a few green ones, and a few blue. She stopped her browsing when she came upon a lovely dress! It was a light reddish-pink, it had a look to where it would go to a person´s knees, a criss-cross string backing, and small spaghetti straps to hold it up. Mimi smiled to herself. It was a lovely dress...but it wasn´t her. It probably would look great on someone like...someone like Sora. She held onto the dress for a while. For some reason...she didn´t want to put it down. Mimi grabbed a few more dresses and walked toward the dressing room.
When she got there she looked through all the dresses in her hand. The reddish-pink one stood out on top. Mimi looked at it and sighed. She placed it upon the outside rack of unwanted dresses and walked inside the dressing room, turning to the left.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sora and Yolei walked out of the dressing room from the right. "Don´t worry Sora...I am sure there is a dress perfect for you. We just have to keep our eyes opened." Yolei walked ahead of Sora and off to dress hunt again.
Sora kept frowning. Did she just not look good in a dress for some reason. Maybe she shouldn´t have agreed to go to the dance at all. She let out a distressful sigh as she stood in front of the dressing room entrance. She looked around to see where Yolei went off to...but her eyes caught something. On the unwanted rack...that was it! The dress for her! She walked up to it quickly and pulled the reddish-pink dress from the rack. It wasn´t to short...to low cut...to long...to flashy...to sluty...IT WAS TO PERFECT! She looked around for Yolei with the biggest smile she had all day! She shrugged and went to go try it on.
Sora entered the dressing room and turned left. She walked and looked to see if there were any opened doors. Sora walked casually and found one. She walked into it and got ready to try on the dress. Sora hummed happily to herself at her great luck!
~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi heard a door closing in the dressing room beside her and listened as the girl in it hummed to herself. Mimi shrugged and glanced at all the dress and scanned them over first. She placed some to the side. Those didn´t look right from first sight...so she wouldn´t even bother trying them on. Mimi narrowed her choices to two dresses. Mimi began to try on both. One dress was a light pink gown the flowed to her feet. It was tight all around and covered most of her body. Mimi frowned and shook her head. If she chose this dress, she would automatically get hot. Mimi slipped it off and grabbed her other choice. When she tried it on...it was like magic! The dress was white and sleeveless. It flowed to her knees and felt light. It wasn´t to tight or to loose. It was pure backless and was held up by a neck string.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi stared at her reflection in the mirror.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sora stared at her reflection in the mirror.
~~~~~~~~~~
They both smiled. This was the dress they had to have.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sora slipped off the dress and checked the price tag. It was $110! Perfect! She had $130...so she had about enough. Sora changed back into her clothes and grabbed her dream dress. She walked out of her dressing room. On her way out...she heard a loud thump from the room beside her. Sora shrugged and walked out to find Yolei.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi slipped on one of her disguarded silk dresses below her and fell with a loud thump. She groaned and rubbed her back in pain. She cursed the horrid dress and threw it across her small dressing room. Mimi stood up and gathered her dresses and the one she wanted to buy. She exited the dressing room and placed the unwanted dresses upon the rack. She stared at the rack and noticed that the reddish-pink one was taken off. Mimi sighed and walked to the cash register. She felt like she could have gotten that dress for Sora...but someone already took it.
~~~~~~~~~~
Yolei glanced at Sora in wonder as the red head showed her the dress while doing poses. Sora placed the dress over her body and flashed it around. Yolei smiled and bounced! It was perfect! Who knew that Sora would find the dress that Yolei thought was perfect to impress Tai! "That is such a lovely dress Sora!"
Sora smiled and folded the dress in her arms. "It is! I tried it on and it fits well too! Come on! Lets go buy it and head out..." Sora turned and walked to the register. Yolei followed.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi payed $128 for the dress. At first she thought it was an outrageous price and started to complain...but in the end...she payed the $128.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sora and Yolei walked to the cash register and heard some girl complaining over the price of a dress. Yolei laughed. "That girl needs a nap." Sora nodded. But...that voice sounded very familiar...but she couldn´t put her finger on it. Sora didn´t bother thinking about it.
Sora arrived at the cash register...payed $123/tax...and grabbed Yolei to go home.
Yolei called her sister and she soon arrived. Sora got into the car with Yolei and headed to her apartment. On the drive there...Sora saw a strange flash of pink. But when she turned...the car had already turned a corner...and Sora lost sight of the color.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi bounced happily back to her apartment. She bought a great dress...minus the price problem...and she wasn´t spotted by any of her friends. She knew no one would be a Delacrue. Mimi smiled at her day and headed home...
~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi walked to her room and hung her dress in the closet. She laid down upon her bed and thought about tomorrow´s events...and Matt. She smiled and took a small nap.
