Ball masque (chapter two)

The next few days they spent practising their 'roles'. Mimi came over once, to teach Tai how to walk more feminine, so he wouldn't trip on his dress… Matt wanted to stay and look, but was shooed out of the room by Mimi.

He grumbled, and went to the bathroom. He had to get used to the fangs he would be wearing. At school, everybody was talking about the ball too.

And finally, the day of the ball came. "Yama! I'm going to Mimi. She asked me to come over early…" Matt walked to Tai, and took him in a hug.

"Okay… I see you tonight than…"

"Yeah… Are you driving tonight?" Tai asked. "Uhuh… I have to pick up Takeru, Hikari, Ken and Daisuke. I hope they fit in the car…"

"Mimi's mother is also picking up Sora, Miyako and Koushiro…. Jyou's brother is bringing Jyou and Iori."

"Okay. Now go, before Mimi gets mad…" Tai quickly put on his shoes and coat, and run to Mimi's house. He rang the bell, and waited nervously.

The door was opened by Mimi, and when she saw it was Tai, her eyes began to twinkle. "Taichi!! Come in!" She grabbed Tai by his arm, and dragged him to her room. 15 minutes later, Tai was standing in the middle of Mimi's room, wearing a beautiful purple dress.

Mimi sighted. "It looks very good on you Taichi… You're so slender…." The dress had a very low neck, so you could see Tai's shoulders. It had long sleeves that covered a great deal of Tai's hands. You could only see his fingers. The dress was long, and reached Tai's ankles. Tai wore small shoes in the same colour as the dress. A nice detail was the dark purple belt like shape at Tai's middle.

"Okay… Taichi, come here and sit down." Mimi was standing at her dressing table. On it were different types of gel and hairspray, and there where a lot of hairclips.

"We have to tame your hair…" Mimi said. Tai nodded, and sat down. Mimi got a hairbrush and started brushing. Tai heard her mumble: "Wow, it's so soft… I didn't expect that…"

Tai grinned. Mimi continued brushing, and Tai closed his eyes. It felt nice… He had to ask Matt to brush his hair sometimes… He had the feeling Matt would love to….

When Mimi stopped, Tai opened his eyes. He was surprised to see that his hair was a lot less spiky than usual. Mimi got some sort of mousse, and she went to work.

After 20 minutes, Mimi was satisfied. The hair that was always hanging in Tai's face was still there. Mimi always thought it looked cute… She had used some hairclips to put Tai's hair on its place. It was hanging down, reaching his shoulders. It was curling slightly.

"Gorgeous…" Mimi whispered. Tai blushed. "Alright, we're almost finished.." she opened a drawer from her dressing table. It was full of make up.

"Let me look…" Mimi murmured. She looked at Tai's face. "Hmmm… a little black eye pencil… and some mascara… not to much though… You've got such thick eyelashes, I think I'm jealous.." She winked at Tai, and he laughed.

"Hmm… a little purple eye shadow, and euh… no lipstick, just a little lip gloss… yeah, I think that will do." She nodded, and went to work. When she was finished, she stepped back a bit, to admire her work.

"Wow Taichi… You look dazzling…" Tai turned, and looked in the mirror. He blinked a few times… "Mimi… you outdid yourself… I don't recognize myself…"

Mimi blushed a bit. "Thanks.." Suddenly, she ran to her bag, and got something out. "I almost forgot this! I got it from Yamato…"

She stuck something to Tai's neck, and after that, picked up a little box. "You open it Taichi…" she said. Taichi got the small box from Mimi, and opened it. Inside was a small necklace, with a little heart shaped pendant on it….

Tai stared at it, and whispered: "It's beautiful…" Mimi nodded, and got the necklace from the box, and put it around Tai's neck. "Now it's really finished…"

They looked in the mirror for a while, when suddenly Tai spoke up. "Alright, one down, one to go!" Mimi laughed. "Yup. You're gonna help me?"

"You bet ya!" Tai picked up one of the hairsprays, and started to chase Mimi, almost tripping over his dress…

2 hours later, they where dressed to kill, and ready to go. Mimi's mother looked at them, and smiled. "You two look gorgeous.." Then she frowned. She looked at Tai.

"I don't think I've seen you before…" Then she looked at Mimi. "And I thought Taichi would come?"

Mimi giggled, and Tai went bright red. "Mom! This is Taichi! He's just dressed like a girl!" Mimi's mother looked at Tai again, and than she had to laugh. "Oh, sorry Taichi… I see it now…" she patted Taichi on the back. "Come on, let's go, or we'll be late…"

T.B.C…

Tai: 0_o  You put make up on me!? :: starts to chase Sillie ::

Sillie: Aaah!! :: hides behind Yama ::  But you look pretty like that!!

Yama: Like what??

Tai: * growls * Nothing Yama….

Pff.. it was hard to describe Tai's dress… I think I will put up a drawing with the next chapter… It will clear things up….
