Ages:
Izzy & Mimi: 16
Mimi began walking home after a long, hard day at school. Though the trees bore bright pink flowers and the sun hung above her fine brown hair, she was in low spirits. She was so depressed because of her grades on her last report card. One A, four B's, and a D in math. How was she going to explain all this to her mom and dad? She'd lied to them so many times saying that she was doing all right and that she would get an A. In the end, her own lies swallowed her up and spat her out. What would she do?
I might as well commit suicide, she thought, I don't deserve to live. Now, everyone is going to hate me for getting this D. You were brilliant, Mimi. Real brilliant. You could have gotten help but you refused .If teachers and adults intimidated you, your friends could have helped you like Sora or Yolie or even...Izzy. Yeah, Izzy would be able to help me out but...I'm so scared. What if he says stuff that I don't understand? Will he think I'm stupid for not getting something like math?I know it wouldn't hurt to ask but...I don't know what to say. Izzy's so smart and sweet and understanding and I'm...not.
Feeling hopeless, Mimi dragged herself back home.
It's hard for me to say the things I want to say sometimes.
There's no one here but you and me and that broken old streetlight.
Her parents would probably be in a good mood. At least she hoped they were. Maybe they would forget about grades today. Then Mimi could keep her report card a secret 'till they came in the mail a month later. But by then, she would have improved so much that it wouldn't matter. By then, she'd get Izzy's help and...
Mimi stopped herself. Izzy...how would she get his help? She had seen him
walking down the halls and occasionally would say 'hi' but to beg for his help? What if he refused? True, Izzy wasn't the type to refuse anything still...would his help be enough for her? Mimi finally made up her mind. She went home (her parents were out thankfully), locked her bedroom door, and dialed Izzy's number.
Lock the door, leave the world outside.
All I got to say to you are these five words tonight.
"Hello?" Izzy answered on the first ring.
"Hi, Kou-kun. It's Mimi", Mimi toyed with the phone cord.
"Hi, Mimi. It's been a while since I've heard from you."
"I know and I'm sorry for not keeping in touch. Listen, Izzy, I need some help."
"Sure. What is it?"
"I...." Mimi froze at that moment. "I..."
"Yes?" Izzy prompted.
"I...Oh, it's so hard to say!"
"Mimi, relax. I don't bite."
" I know, Kou-kun. It's just that...I'm so embarrassed to tell you."
"I won't laugh at you."
"Okay, here goes."
Thank you for loving me.
For being my eyes when I couldn't see.
For parting my lips when I couldn't breathe.
Thank you for loving me.
Thank you for loving me.
"Mimi, I'm still waiting. Take your time."
"I am, Kou-kun. The thing is...I need help with math!"
"That's it?"
"Yes", Mimi lied again. The math was only part of the reason she called Izzy. She had something even more to tell him. He had to know about their first meeting. He was a tiny computer nerd and she was a fashionable rich girl. But...she saw something in him that she couldn't quite tell. Izzy brought out the best in her especially when they were stuck in that temple together. She had gotten mad but he...he remained calm as always. He saved her. The vision of little Izzy holding that rock over his head and breaking down the wall was clear like anything. It was at that moment she realized how much she loved him and how much he cared for her. He left behind his computer to find her.
I never knew I had a dream until that dream was you.
But when I looked into your eyes, the sky's a different blue.
"Tell me the problem with math, Mimi."
"I...I got a D! I just don't get math at all! I need help! I know it's too late to ask for any now but maybe if you can help me, I'll probably ace my next exam."
"I'll be glad to help you, Mimi. Just let me know when I can come."
"Tonight would be nice."
"Very well. I'll leave my parents a note. Let's meet at six, shall we?"
"That works."
"Bye, Mimi. See you soon."
"Bye, Kou-kun. Thank you."
"My pleasure."
Mimi hung up the phone, still sweating like crazy. That wasn't hard at all. More importantly, Izzy said he would come tonight. Maybe she'd be able to tell him how she felt now. She'd get math out of the way and they'd have the rest of the night together.
Izzy arrived at six like he'd promised. Mimi gathered up all her courage and showed him the latest report card.
"You didn't do too bad, this time. Your math is the only bad grade. Now, tell me, what exactly is the problem?"
"It's algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and everything else in between! I'm sorry, Izzy. I just don't get math at all! It's nothing but a bunch of numbers and letters strung together with weird looking signs. I never saw how this would help me in life. I don't want to be an engineer or doctor or scientist of any kind. That's why math's such a big problem."
"Math is really simple, Mimi. Here, I'll show you. Give me a problem and I'll show easier ways to solve it."
"Oh, okay. Here", Mimi opened up her book and showed Izzy a quadratic
equation. "I know the equation but solving it...well, that' s a major pain in the ass."
"It shouldn't be. Here, watch what I do."
Mimi paid very close attention to what Izzy was doing and slowly began to see how he was solving it. He gave her a problem and soon she solved it.
"You did it!" Izzy whooped.
"I...I did, didn't I? Thank you", she whispered.
Cross my heart, I wear no disguise.
And if I tried, you'd make believe that you believed my lies.
Izzy showed Mimi some simple ways of solving geometric and trigonometric
proofs. Mimi began working each one and soon, she had them all right.
"I can't see what the problem is anymore, Mimi. You learned fast."
"I guess I can't learn from teachers."
"Do I what I told you next time. Relax and think before you write something down, okay? Take as much time as you want."
"I will, Kou-kun. Thank you so much! Oh, would you like to stay for dinner?"
"You don't mind having me over?"
"No."
"Then...of course. I'd love to stay."
"My parents are out so I'll make something."
"Better yet, I'll take you out."
"No, Izzy! You did enough for me. It's time I did something for you."
Thank you for loving me.
For being my eyes when I couldn't see.
For parting my lips when I couldn't breathe.
Thank you for loving me.
Thank you for loving me.
Mimi made a simple dish that night but Izzy didn't mind. A strange feeling was running up and down her spine. She had to tell him! How would she approach him?
"Izzy?" she said out loud by mistake.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Um...I...nothing!" Mimi turned red.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Kou-kun. I am sure."
"Did you have another problem with math?"
"No. I'm...perfectly fine with that now. Thanks a lot."
"You're welcome. You don't need to thank me anymore, Mimi. It was the best I could do."
"Still..."
"Still what?"
"I...I don't know how to say this."
You lift me up when I fall down.
You ring the bell before they count me out.
And if I was crying, you'd part the sea.
And risk your life to rescue me. Yeah (yeah) yeah, yeah, yeah!
Finally, it was time for Izzy to go home. Mimi watched as he gathered up his books. She couldn't take it anymore! She had to let him know now!
"Kou-kun, I love you!" she burst out. She staggered back with her hand over her mouth after she realized what she said. "Oh dear!"
"Excuse me?" Izzy looked surprised. He stared at her with those obsidian eyes curiously. "Did you just..."
Mimi nodded. "Yes. I love you. I've loved you ever since I met you and even before then! I love you now too! I'm sorry, Izzy! I know that you probably prefer a better, smarter girl to me! But I can't help it! I'm so much in love with you! Tell me right now, baby. If you don't love me, then let me know."
Izzy smiled at her. "You really do love me?"
"Yes. I'm so sorry, Izzy. Thank you for everything you did for me. I never got the chance to tell you that."
"Mimi, look at me."
"Hmm", Mimi looked up with her wine colored eyes and was surprised by the kiss she received. Izzy pulled her body towards him and she returned his kiss.
Lock the doors, leave the world outside.
All I've got to give to you are these five words tonight.
"Mimi, why didn't you tell me sooner?" he asked. "You see,I loved you too."
"Really?"
"Ever since I met you, I loved you too. I always have and I always will."
"So do you love me now?"
"More than ever."
"Izzy?"
"Yes?"
"Will you...be my...boyfriend? Please?"
Izzy raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
"Well, do you?" Mimi asked again
Izzy gazed at her chocolate brown eyes and nodded. "Yes. I'll be your boyfriend from now 'til the end of time."
"Not 'til the end of time. We'd have to be married 'til the end of time."
"Well...okay. As I said before, I'll be your boyfriend."
"Oh, I'm so happy! Thank you, Kou-kun!"
"You don't have to thank me, Mimi."
"No, I do. Thank you for loving me."
Thank you for loving me.
For being my eyes, when I couldn't see.
For parting my lips, when I couldn't breathe.
Thank you for loving me.
When I couldn't fly, you gave me wings.
You parted my lips when I couldn't breathe.
"I love you, Mimi." Izzy whispered as he kissed her.
"I love you too, Kou-kun." She melted in his arms.
Thank you for loving me.
Thank you for loving me.
Thank you for loving me.
Oh, for loving me.
Well, what did you think? I know the ending was cheesy. That was my first song fic, okay? As I said, I don't own the characters or the song. Expect to see more stuff from me much, much later. Old and new stuff of course. More couples will be added to that list above so don't fret. Also...if there are requests for certain couples...email me or tell me in the review. Oh yeah...the title: I changed Chicken Soup to Vegetable Soup cause I'm a vegetarian. In case anyone cares. Always, Carter
