Chapter 9
"Sora? Could I speak to you for a moment?" Tai asked.
Matt moved his arm off Sora's shoulders and looked at Tai suspiciously.
"Sure. Be back in a sec, Yama." Sora said, heading out the door.
'Yama? She has a nickname for him??' Tai asked himself.
'Yama? Sounds like I've got a new nickname.' Matt grinned to himself.
"What is it, Tai?" Sora asked.
"Why'd you break the date with me?" Tai asked.
"I'm sorry, Tai." Sora said, looking at the ground.
"Don't be sorry, if you wanted to be with Matt, then you should've told me. I would have understood." Tai said, placing his hand on her shoulder.
"I know, I should have just come out and told you. But really, I don't want to be with Matt. Mimi just had a crazy idea to set us up." Sora said.
"You don't want to be with Matt?" Tai asked skeptically.
"Of course not." Sora said. "We're just friends."
Tai couldn't believe her. After Mimi had broken his date with her he had started to believe that Matt would've been the next best person for her.
"Well, you go on in and talk with your 'pal' while I go find Mimi." Tai said quickly.
"You're sure you're ok with this?" Sora asked.
"Yes." Tai said, pushing her back into Mimi's room.
Tai rushed off to find Mimi.
"Hmm.Pepsi sounds nice, but then again." Mimi thought.
Tai walked into the kitchen.
"Tai, are you ok?" Mimi asked, seeing his distressed expression.
"Fine. I just talked to Sora. She still thinks that there's nothing between them and they're only going to the dance because you made her." Tai explained.
"How long will it take to get it in her thick head.?" Mimi sighed.
"What should we do?" Tai asked.
"You actually want to help me get Sora and Matt together?" Mimi asked.
"I know, it sounds weird, but after she, or should I say you, broke the date with me, I figured that Matt and Sora should have been together all along, and what ever it takes to help them get together, I support it." Tai said.
"You're really something special, you know that? Any girl would be lucky to have you." Mimi smiled.
"Can I ask you something?" Tai asked.
"Sure, what is it?" Mimi asked.
"Will you go to the dance with me?" Tai asked.
Mimi stood there shocked, partly because she never expected him to ask her and second because she never thought about him that way.
"Well?" Tai asked.
"Alright, sure." Mimi smiled.
But people change.^_-
"Really?" Tai said.
"Of course, we're cool." Mimi grinned.
Tai grinned.
"We've got them going to the dance. I think all we can do is let nature take its course." Mimi said. "Come on."
"I'm getting bored here, let's take a walk!" Mimi said cheerily at the door of her room.
"Sounds good to me!" Tai agreed.
All four of them grabbed their coats and headed out the door.
"Feel that crisp air." Mimi said, closing her eyes and prancing around.
"Mimi! Watch it!" Sora yelled.
Mimi crashed into a pole and fell down. Sora laughed.
"Here, let me help you up." Sora said, holding out a hand.
"I guess I was a little too excited." Mimi blushed.
"Mimi, you're never too excited, you're just.you." Tai said.
Mimi glared at him and kept walking.
"So where exactly are we going?" Matt asked.
"How about that little café downtown?" Mimi asked.
"Sounds fun!" Sora said.
The four of them walked downtown to the corner café and took their seats in the booth, and, of course, Mimi insisted that Sora and Matt sit together.
"What shall I have.?" Sora thought.
Yolei walked up to them with a white apron on and notepad in hand.
"Hey guys! What'll it be?" Yolei asked.
"Frappucino would be nice." Sora said.
"Iced Latte." Mimi said.
"Mocha Frappucino." Matt said.
"Actually we have a special on couples. Two for one deal." Yolei said.
"Oh, but we're not-"Sora started.
"Sounds great!" Mimi cut in.
Sora glared at her.
"Oh? I didn't know you and Matt were going out." Yolei said, looking at Sora. "And I say I'm usually all over these things."
"We're not going out!" Sora yelled.
Everyone stared at her sudden outburst. Mimi kicked her from under the table.
"Eh.Tai?" Yolei said.
"Hmm.the biscotti look nice.but then again, I do like blueberry muffins." Tai thought.
"Order already!" Mimi said.
"Temper temper! I'll have hot latte, a blueberry muffin, and a bowl of soup." Tai said.
"A little later for lunch, isn't it, Tai?" Sora sighed.
"Excuse me if I only had a couple subs for lunch!" Tai said.
"Is that all?" Yolei asked.
"Yep." Mimi said.
"Be back in a few." Yolei said.
"So??" Mimi asked eagerly.
"What?" Sora asked.
"Now that you and Matt are going to the dance together are you going to.you know.?" Mimi said secretively.
"Mimi! Of course not! How could you even think of such a thing?!" Sora blushed.
"No no, that's not what I'm talking about." Mimi said. "I meant, start to go out."
"Oh, that. Didn't I say that I was only going because you insisted and it's between friends, for the fiftieth time." Sora said.
"Honestly, I think you two should at least try to go on a date." Mimi said.
"Mimi's right!" Tai chimed in. "Besides, doesn't Matt get a say?"
Mimi and Tai looked at him with high hopes.
"Maybe." Matt said.
The two sighed.
"Alrighty! A frappucino for you.one iced latte.one mocha frappucino.and this tray." Yolei said, placing a tray of food in front of Tai, who immediately began to eat.
"So Yolei, who are you taking to the dance?" Mimi asked.
"Who else? Ken, of course." Yolei said. "Hmm.let me guess. Sora, you're going with Matt, Mimi, you're going with that new boy.Michael?"
"I'm going with Tai." Mimi said.
"Serious?!?" Yolei and Sora exclaimed.
Mimi rolled her eyes. "How is that so hard to believe?"
"Since when??" Sora asked.
"About..." Mimi said, looking at her watch. "An hour ago."
"Cute! Two couples here at my café!" Yolei said.
"And I have to ask.Matt, did you ask Sora to go with you?" Yolei asked.
"A bit nosy today, aren't we?" Sora said.
"Just asking." Yolei said.
Tai and Mimi looked at him to hear what he would say.
"Yeah." Matt said coolly.
"Wonderful! How long have I been waiting for that!" Yolei said grinning.
Sora stared at her.
"I better get to washing those tables!" Yolei said quickly, noticing Sora's glare.
"I think I'm going to head out now," Sora said, getting up.
"So soon? Well, alright. See ya." Mimi said.
"Hey, need a little company?" Matt grinned.
"I could always use some." Sora said, smiling back.
Tai and Mimi exchanged glances.
"I'll see you guys later." Matt said, with a wave.
"Bye." Mimi and Tai replied.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*
Sora and Matt walked in an uncomfortable silence until they finally reached Sora's front doorstep.
"Thanks for walking me here." Sora said.
"No problem." Matt said.
"Well, I'll see you later then?" Sora asked.
"Sure," Matt said.
"Bye." Sora said, giving a quick kiss on the cheek and a smile before closing the door.
Matt put his hand where she had kissed him.
"Just friends, huh?" a voice behind him asked.
Matt turned around to Tai, who was grinning ear-to-ear.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Matt asked, walking down the steps and heading home.
Tai followed him.
"Don't tell me that its not even possible that you and Sora could maybe.?" Tai said.
"No, Tai." Matt said. "You heard Sora. She still feels that we're 'just friends'."
"And how do you feel about it?" Tai asked.
Matt kept silent as they reached his front door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*
Hehe, done! And yes, like I said at the top of this chapter, the dance will be coming up soon! Chapter 10 will be up soon! Michi?! Never expected it, didja? Hehe.well, life's full of surprises.please review!
