Author's Note: You're still reading? :) Reviews are nice, so be nice. Well, I can't actually put any control in you writing your reviews, but I won't delete the reviews. It's just like a guest book, you get praised and you get flamed. That's happened to me on my domain, as well. Anyways, I guess you didn't come to listen to me about gbooks!

Ne.. Too much description in my fics? It's poetic-like. I like it! ;) Oh, I hope my grammar is correct because I re-read my fics when I publish them and end up frowning at them if I find a grammar mistake. Gomen.

Chapter 07

MATT awoke early the next day to find a plate of food spread out neatly on his bedside drawer. A chilly breeze blew into the dormitory for the glass sliding door leading out to the balcony was open five inches. He looked through the vertical blinds and saw Mimi staring dreamily out into the horizon with her red, white, and blue designer shirt, white mini-skirt, and white, knee-high platform boots (02 clothing). Her chestnut hair was being forced by the wind, but the yellow stars cascaded about her hair helped to keep it from flying about. Matt frowned, "She looks a bit pale..."

He took a couple of bites from the breakfast on his table and took a quick shower. When he'd finished, he joined Mimi on the balcony and leaned against the rail like she was. "Hey."

She looked at him and gave him a smile. "Ohaiyou, Yamato-kun. Hope you rested well and had a nice breakfast."

"Hmm, thank you for the meal, Mimi-chan." he noticed that she was blushing when he had said her name. "Listen, would you like to go visit my band with me? I'm sure they won't mind if you come and visit them. Heck, they'd enjoy your company."

Her large, pleading eyes blinked in disbelief. She found herself speechless and only managed to nod her head. He took her hand and they made their way out of the room, passing by Michael who was going to meet Mimi in the morning. He stood there petrified to see Matt and Mimi holding hands heading for the elevators. The two stood quietly in the elevator. Matt leaning on the wall across from Mimi doing the same. There was a prolonged silence and Mimi trailed quietly behind him. Some dark clouds still lingered about as some stray rain droplets fell. A soft drizzle overcame the area and the two ended up running to an auditorium a few blocks away from the school.

"You're late. You were supposed to be here at seven!" the manager of Matt's band scolded him. "And what did I tell you about visitors?"

"Chill, man. I'm only three minutes late, and besides, we were held up by that shower out there." Matt replied coolly. He motioned to Mimi and she stepped forward giving Matt's manager a bow.

"Konnichiwa. Watashi no namae wa Tachikawa Mimi." (My name is Tachikawa Mimi.) she gave a smile. The band went to greet her.

After they had all introduced themselves, she went to look around the place. The color flushed out of her face and she felt a little light headed. "Yamato-kun?"

Matt had been tuning his guitar when he turned his attention to her. "Nani?"

"Umm.. I'm feeling a little dazed. Is there a vending machine where I can get a drink?" she asked.

"It's over there." he asked her as he pointed at a machine a couple feet behind her. He raised up an eyebrow. "Daijibou?"

She shook her head as she limply walked towards the vending machine. "Nothing. I'm just.. tired." She inserted some money to buy water instead. Strangely enough, she didn't even bother to drink it and just stored it away in her red sling-over backpack (mini backpack, like in the show).

Yamato watched her and noticed that she had been stifling some sneezes. The red tint on her face didn't seem to give him a good feeling and she had a helpless expression upon her face. 'Hmm, what's going on with Mimi?'

"Mimi-chan, daijibou?" he asked again, even more concerned than ever.

She weakly took a step towards him, "Yamato-kun... I don't feel so good."

Matt quickly jumped up and caught her in his arms before she collapsed onto the ground. He felt her head and noticed that she was burning up. "Mimi-chan, wake up! Are you all right?"
