July 15th, Takenouchi Residence
It was about five o'clock in the afternoon. Usually, kids would spend their Saturday
afternoons hanging out with friends, goofing off, or just sleeping in. But every once
in awhile, you come across a Saturday where you spend the whole day getting ready
for what would happen that night.
This fateful Saturday afternoon, the 'you' was one Mimi Tachikawa, visiting her
friends in Tokyo for the weekend. But it was beyond Mimi's comprehension that
her simple visit would turn into a race to see who would win her affection.
Matt. Izzy. Joe. Yolei. And Michael. They were the competitors. And she was the
grand prize.
Mimi didn't like to think of it that way. After all, she had scores and scores of boys
her age and even older hit on her at school back in New York. But she just as quickly
spurned the advances of any and every would-be admirer. And at first, Mimi was
planning to employ the same strategy to diffuse her current situation.
But she thought it would be fun to see just to what lengths they would all go.
Especially Yolei. She was the most surprising candidate of all. Mimi, in all her wildest
dreams, had never thought of a girl flirting with her, much less someone like Yolei.
And then there was Michael. Sure, he was a nice guy and all, but he would totally
freeze up every time she crossed his path. Why would he wait until now to admit his
feelings, especially since he was aware that Matt, Izzy, and Joe were all old friends of
mine? Maybe he didn't think that they were interested in her that way. The events
of the past 22 hours have definitely changed that.
Maybe that's why Mimi accepted Michael's proposal for a date. Mimi wanted to see
how deep Michael's feelings were. She could have a little fun and relive the sights
and sounds of Tokyo, while simultaneously testing Michael's potential as a future
husband.
Yes, that was stretching it. Mimi was far from thinking about marriage. But she
couldn't help but wonder what her life would be with the sound of little feet running
around her house.
"Mimi?"
Mimi's daydream was interrupted by her best friend Sora, who was busy searching
through Mimi's luggage bags to find something for her to wear on her date tonight.
"Huh?"
"You've been daydreaming for the past ten minutes! If my mom hadn't left to go
down to the flower shop to work after we got back, she'd probably would have
called an ambulance!"
"Sorry about that, Sora. I'm just thinking about tonight."
"I see. You seemed to enjoy it. Does that mean what I think it means?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You're thinking about Michael as more than a friend, aren't you?"
"Whatever makes you say that? I'm not in love with anyone! Especially Michael!"
Sora smirked. "You're lying."
"I am not!"
"Well, if it's not Michael you're pining after, then who?"
"Honestly, I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"Yep."
"I find that weird. You're the prettiest 13 year old girl I know! I'm surprised you
don't have a boyfriend already!"
"Why? Do you have a crush on me?"
Sora begins to panic. "No! Of course not! You know Tai and I were meant to be
together!"
"As long as we're clear on that."
"I hope you don't mind me asking, Mimi, but what gave you the idea that I was in
love with you?"
Mimi shrugs her shoulder. "Beats me. I think it has something to do with the fact
that I think Yolei likes me too."
"Yolei? No way!"
"I'm afraid it's true."
"How do you know?"
"Well, have you ever seen the movie 'Happy Gilmore?'"
"I think so. Why?"
"Remember the scene where that golf expert was trying to teach Adam Sandler how
to putt at his first tournament?"
Sora thought for a moment. After a few seconds, the scene came to her. She gasped
in shock.
"You mean Yolei did THAT?"
Mimi nods in agreement. "I felt so uncomfortable afterwards that I locked myself in
the guest room 'til morning. I didn't want to face her again. I was afraid that she
might try something else."
"I see. So, besides Michael and Yolei, who else do you think is in love with you?"
"I have this feeling that Joe has a crush on me."
"How so?"
"By the time we all left the airport to go to Yolei's apartment to figure out what to do
last night, Joe arrived. He thought he had missed out on seeing me. That is, until I
saw him an hour or two later at the carnival. He bailed Michael and I out after we
discovered that we had forgotten to exchange our American dollars for Japanese
yen at the customs desk at the airport."
"Really?"
"He said that he had been trying to catch up to us and that he was really glad to see
me again."
"Sounds like love to me. I say you call Joe up right now and tell him to take you out
tonight!"
Mimi blushes. "I never said I admired him as a boyfriend!"
"Well, you're more up to having him than Michael or Yolei. Why not?"
"Actually... I think Matt likes me too."
This made Sora a little nervous. "Matt? Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Did you hear about him serenading me last night after we got back from the
carnival?"
"Can't say that I haven't. You know Tai isn't the type of person who passes around
the latest gossip. After all, the only thing he thought about after my match was when
he could come over and look at my first place trophy!"
Mimi giggled. "That Tai. Why don't you two just admit your love for each other?"
Now, it was Sora's time to blush. She was in no mood to get a steady boyfriend at
the moment, and she wanted to assure Mimi of that. And to do that, she would get
their conversation back on topic.
"Hey, you're the one on a date! Why don't you admit who you love?"
"Because I asked you first!" Mimi replied back.
Sora couldn't dare answer. Sure, she and Tai were good friends, but she was
beginning to admire Matt more and more with each passing day. It could soon get
to the point where the two of them were fighting over her the same way that Davis
and TK fight over Kari. Besides, if Mimi knew she was truly in love with Matt,
she didn't want to get in the way. If Mimi didn't love Matt that way, though, Sora
would be free to explore her options.
"So Sora, are you going to answer me? Why don't you admit your love for Tai?"
Sora sighed and reluctantly gave her response. "Because I'm not sure if I love him
that way or not."
This, of course, completely shocked Mimi. She honestly thought that Tai and Sora
were meant to be together. Of course, that was what she thought of TK and Kari
before Davis showed up. Or, at least from what she had heard from the others.
"Do you mind if I ask why?" came the query from Mimi.
"Why what?"
"Why you're not sure you love Tai?"
"Like I said, Mimi, I'm not sure. I'm at the point in my relationship with Tai that I am
searching out other options."
"Is that so? Maybe I can help!"
Sora laughed. "I think we'd better resolve your love pentagon first. That seems to
be the more pressing issue right now."
"Love pentagon? I'm not sure if that's complex!"
"Actually, I think it's more like a love hexagon. After all, you do have five guys after
you."
"Five? Let me see..."
Mimi began to count out loud. "Matt's one, then there's Michael, Joe, and Yolei.
That's only four, Sora."
"Don't tell me you forgot about Izzy."
"That little bookworm? Hey, I gave him a chance before I moved away to New
York. He ruined it. He's no longer in my equation."
"You might think so, but did you ever stop and think that he still might love you?"
"Well, not really..."
"It's settled then. It's a love hexagon. Now, since you're only staying in Tokyo
for another 18 hours, more or less, you've got to find a way to narrow this down to
at least a love triangle. After all, the longer you keep all five of them hanging on to a
thread, wondering who you'll pick, the more crazy you'll go."
"That's easy! I'm not attracted to girls, so Yolei's out. Izzy's gone too. And
Michael will be after this date's over."
"This is more than just choosing favorites, Mimi! You're going to have to spend
some time with each of them and find out how compatible you are with them!"
"And what makes you a love guru? It's not like you've got a boyfriend!"
"I'm just trying to help!"
"Then don't! I can figure this out myself!"
"Fine. Let's just get you ready for tonight, okay?"
With that, Sora continues to help Mimi get ready for her date.
Finally, it was seven thirty. The sun was beginning to sink into the horizon, but
the night was still very young. A yellow taxi pulls up to Sora's apartment complex.
Michael comes out of the taxi, dressed in a short sleeve green shirt, black pants,
and black dress shoes. He takes the elevator to the Takenouchi's apartment
number.
Michael walks up to the door and knocks on it. As he waits for it to open, Michael
checks himself to make sure his clothes don't have any wrinkles on it, or his shoes
have any blemishes. Just as he was about to use his right hand to check for dirt
particles in his teeth, Sora opens the door. Ironically enough, she's still dressed in
her tennis uniform.
"Um... Sora, right?"
"Yes. And you're Michael, I take it?"
"Yes, I am. Is Mimi in?"
"She's almost done. It'll only take a minute."
"Can I come in and wait?"
"Well... it's kind of a mess in here since we had to unpack half of Mimi's clothes to
find her a decent outfit."
"Oh. I'll just wait out here then."
The two just stared at each other blankly for about a minute. Each of them was
eyeing the other as they scrambled to find something else to talk about. Michael
jumped in first.
"So... I see you're still in your uniform."
"Yeah. I didn't get a chance to change yet."
"You did good today. I've never seen a girl play that good."
"Yeah. It's too bad our team still lost the meet."
"Yeah. It's a shame."
Once again, there was silence. After about another minute of this, Mimi appeared,
making her way past Sora. Michael stood there, stunned. He couldn't believe it.
Mimi was dressed in a yellow-orange short sleeve shirt that was cut off at her
midriff, in order to show off her belly button, a knee-length blue-green skirt, and a
pair of red open-heeled pumps, which encased her ankle sock covered feet. Her
hair, of course, was the same style as before: pink with yellow stars sewn
throughout it.
"Wow! You look beautiful!"
Mimi giggled. "It's not anything special. This is just a new outfit that I haven't
worn yet. I decided to try it out. It's not really formal or anything, but then again,
this isn't a 'date' date, right?"
At hearing that this wasn't an official date, Michael's hopes of getting Mimi to fall in
love with him fell a notch. But he wouldn't give up that easily. He would figure out
how to get her attention.
"Right," Michael said, trying to make it seem as if he didn't mind Mimi's decision that
this wasn't a date. "After all, I wouldn't consider a simple dinner and a movie
dateworthy activities."
Mimi quickly realized that Michael did in fact think this was a real date. But she
couldn't turn him down. He looked so handsome in his outfit... despite how
unfashionably out of style she thought it was. So Mimi decided to play along.
"May I ask what movie, Michael?"
"It's 'Vanilla Sky.' It stars Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz."
"Tom Cruise?" Mimi repeated excitedly as Michael confirmed his plans with a
simple nod of the head. "Okay then, let's go! Date or not, I'm going to enjoy myself
tonight!"
"I'm going to enjoy myself too," Michael thought to himself. "You can bet on that."
Sora handed Mimi her small brown purse. The young couple then made their way to
the elevator. Sora smiled as the two entered the elevator and descended to the
ground floor.
Once out of sight, Sora headed inside of her apartment, closing the door behind her.
"Now, to change out of these clothes and take a nice, long bath!"
But just as Sora was going to strip down, the phone began to ring. She walks over to
the phone and answers it.
"Hello? Takenouchi residence."
"Sora!" exclaimed a familiar teenager's voice.
"Matt?"
"Where's Mimi?" asked a second teenager, whose voice also sounded familiar.
"It's imperative that you tell us her current location!"
"Izzy? Why are you and Matt calling me for?"
"We want to know where Mimi is!"
"That's right. Could you please relay our message to her?"
"Mimi's gone already. Michael just picked her up."
"Where are they going, Sora?"
"Well Matt, Michael said he was taking her out to dinner and a movie."
"Where?" Izzy shouted. "And what movie?"
"Izzy, you don't have to yell! Look, I don't know the name of the restaurant, but
Michael said he intends on taking Mimi to see 'Vanilla Sky.'"
"'Vanilla Sky?'" a confused Izzy inquired.
"What movie is that?" Matt asked, also clueless about the movie's plot.
"It's a chick flick, so to speak. Or so the critics say..."
"Figures. Come on, Izzy..."
"Salutations, Sora!"
The phone line suddenly goes dead. Sora calmly hangs up the phone and heads
towards the bathroom once again.
"Something tells me that tonight's going to be an exciting night," she noted as she
entered the bathroom and locked the door behind her.
