A/N: Hi there everyone!! I don't really have much to say except what I said at the top. But besides that...okay! I thought of something to say! I have just been on a sugar rush today and I've decided to put every punctuation mark at the end of each sentence in this Author's Note an exclamation point!! No!! That would ruin everything!! This is a story of a boy named Takeru Takaishi! I think you all know who he is. Isn't he so cool?! Anyways, it is your choice for who he will end up with at the end. The first choices will be at the first chapter. The second chapter will contain the rest. Please cast in your votes at the end of the chapters!! Thanks!! (If anyone reads this story of mine.)




The Taco Boy





It was a Saturday night. The usual things us teenage kids usually did on Saturday nights was hang out with friends, go to parties, etc. It would usually be a fun night filled with jokes, flirting with some girls at the mall, or just making mock basketball games with my guy friends. But of course, if a teenager did not want to go out on a Saturday night, they relax at home and watch their midnight shows or Cartoon Network or something. They get to sit there on their comfortable couches...while I'm here...stuck at work.

"Welcome to Chuggy Chug Taco, may I take your order?" I asked, with a feeling of strong hatred for my taco shaped hat.

I am Takeru Takaishi, the "Taco" boy.

The construction worker in front of me was stalling, and since I was agitated that I could not come to the party my friend had invited me to, became impatient. I tried not to show it but my face thought otherwise. If the construction worker saw my angry face, he ignored it.

"Um yeah...how much is number one?" he asked.

"The Chuggy Chug Supreme Deluxe is $3.45," I said. My manager Aritomo Fukuda stressed the rule to say what the order is before saying the price, therefore it was clear. How clearly annoying. But then again...who likes their own manager?

"Hm...number two?" he asked.

"The Double Burrito...$2.99," I said. I had a feeling I knew where this was heading to.

As I thought, my suspicions have been confirmed. The nutbag asked the prices for each of the items on the menu and ordered a side order. I sweatdropped in frustration.

People like these ought to be sued, I thought nastily.

And so the hairy old fart left. I was relieved, hoping I didn't get another customer like that for a long time. So far, my day wasn't going as I wanted it to go...Cartoon Network...

Unfortunately, it got worse. Maybe it was that time I accidentally broke Hikari's mirror yesterday, or maybe it was the time I was walking across the yard when my dad was painting the top half of the house and I walked under his ladder, or maybe...maybe I'm just being deliriously superstitious.

There at the door was the beautiful Mimi Tachikawa. As usual, she was surrounded by a group of friends. She was in a t-shirt with sweatpants and her hair was tied up in a bun. Obviously she just came from some training or work-out. But either way, she was still really pretty. And now, she would see my taco hat...and see me in all my taco-ness glory. Ugh.

I tried to calm down. It's not like she even considers me anything other than Yamato's little brother, or her little buddy from the digital world, so it wouldn't matter.

She walked up to the counter.

"Hey Takeru," she greeted with her striking smile. She was the only one to call me by my entire name.

"Um...hi. Can I take your order?" I asked. To my horror, my boss was right behind me.

"No TK, what do you say?" he asked. I turned beet red.

"Welcome to Chuggy Chug Taco, may I take your order?" I said, trying to sound enthusiastic in front of the boss. Mimi giggled. My face was hot.

"Very nice," concluded Aritomo. I was so glad when he walked away.

"Um, can I take a number four? I am starving! I just came back from track practice (WOW, Mimi does a sport! Just kidding) and I was jogging up the mall to meet my friends...ugh, I am totally wiped out," Mimi said, wiping the remaining sweat from her forehead.

When I finally find my composure, I usually began acting normal around beautiful people. "Hey, if it gets you fit, keep going or git," I answered. Whoa...was that a totally lame line or what?

Mimi laughed softly. "Yeah. It's fun anyways."

"That'll be $3.05 please," I said. After she handed me the money, she got the food from the other workers at the back and sat down with her friends.

I was so glad when my best friend came in. It was usually a comfort to see her, but right now, I was glad to see her so we could patch up the fight we had earlier. Um...something about the mirror...long story...

She slowly approached me with an ignoring look on her face as if all she did was come here to get her food then go. I hoped it wasn't.

I decided to play along. "Welcome to Chuggy Chug Taco, may I take your order?" I asked in my cheery, greeting voice.

"Hi, yeah. I would like to get..." she began asking for her order, but I didn't seem to be listening.

I interrupted her. "Hikari."

"Hm...maybe I should get number three or maybe--"

"Hikari."

"Maybe number one. That sounds good--"

"Hikari," I repeated in the same tone.

"But eight doesn't sound bad--"

"HIKARI!!" I shouted in frustration. She stared at me and gave the blank blinking looks she usually gave me when she pretends she hadn't heard me.

"Yes Takaishi?" Ouch. The "last name" game. When we fought, we always called each other by our last names. It's even more awful than it sounds.

"Come on, you know I didn't mean to break your mirror."

"That was a family heirloom. " Liar.

"Well if I knew it was a family heirloom I wouldn't have ever gone to your house for fear of breaking anything in there."

"Well you did," she said in a pouty manner. The boiling pot is cooling down.

"And I sincerely apologize," I said, my large blue eyes showing their main purpose in life. Yet again, they succeed. I cracked Hikari into a smile.

"Apology accepted."

I smiled. "Thank you."

"You know I was just joking about it being a family heirloom," Hikari said. I simply smiled and nodded.
