Hey people! I'm SO glad you guys like this fic. When I told my friend I was writing a Male Model story, he just burst into laughter. But it's nice to see someone agrees with me that Tai would make a good model. =D Anwayz, time to answer reviews. I saw other authors do this in their fics, so I figured, "why not?"

Sillie: I hear ya! Way too adorable for words.

Umi Kitsune: Matt will be in this chapter briefly. And thanks for the info. $5000= 584,303.40 yen. Lots of yen.

Fell: Did you ever ask CCPheonix about that? Hope so since I fail to have the answer.

Matt4ever: thanks. I love that you love it.

Burned Vamp: Thanks for the corrections. Sorry about that. Sometimes I'll get too worked up to post and I forget to check grammar. Thanks for all the compliments too. They made me feel special. And I like feeling special. =D And I want copies of those pictures!

Redvind: don't worry, I'd NEVER EVER have Tai cut his hair. That's what makes him cute! *squeezes the life out of a Tai plushie*

Me: It might be a Yamachi, it might not. Who knows how this will turn out. After all, it's coming from me, as in IV, not u me. *dazed look* that was a TAD confusing.

NEo-cHaN: thank you n-chan. And I have to say that you are an awesome writer. I've read quite a few of your fics like Brotherly Love, In the End, and The Ups and Downs of Nature and absolutely loved them!

CSMars: glad you think it's cute. I like cute things. Lol

CCPheonix: Thanx Pheonix. And it wasn't a problem posting the rules in there. Hope you got some more entries that way. And what on earth is a wonder dog??

Hannio: thanx. I'm glad you like it and think it's good.

Shishi-Kokoro: thanx for reading and liking it. I've read a few of your fics as well. My favorite one is The Sight.

Sora's POV

I am SO excited! Tai's actually gonna enter the Male Model contest. I practically dragged him to our complex and up to my apartment.

"Hey T, just sit on the couch and make yourself comfortable. I'm gonna get online real fast." I explained to him. He didn't say anything in response. I looked over to him and saw he was already wrapped up in a show on TV. He is SO one-track minded sometimes. I typed in my password for MSN and watched it load. I looked at the screen and found the person I wanted to talk to.

GoDdEsS oF sOcCeR: Hey Meems

GoDdEsS oF sOcCeR: sry, but seriously. Guess what?

~ Barbie Gurl Living In A Model's World ~: what? There I guessed. Lol

GoDdEsS oF sOcCeR: haha. But when you come down, you're gonna have a male Barbie to play with.

~ Barbie Gurl Living In A Model's World ~:??? Say what?

GoDdEsS oF sOcCeR: *smirks* Tai's gonna be a male Barbie for ya.

~ Barbie Gurl Living In A Model's World ~: y on earth would he do that?

GoDdEsS oF sOcCeR: Let me tell u the WHOLE story.

GoDdEsS oF sOcCeR: see, well, u remember what the 17th is rite?

~ Barbie Gurl Living In A Model's World ~: duh. Matt's b-day. OH AND I GOT HIM THE MOST PERFECT PREZANT TOO!

GoDdEsS oF sOcCeR: ok so Tai came shopping with me today. So I started talking to him about not forgetting Matt's prez this year and blah blah blah. So then he goes crazy and says, and I quote, "I'm gay and I happen to like Matt as more than a friend."

~ Barbie Gurl Living In A Model's World ~: oh I knew that a while ago.

GoDdEsS oF sOcCeR: *sweatdrops* how did u know?

~ Barbie Gurl Living In A Model's World ~: educated guess. Those two flirt so much w/o even realizing it. And it's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO kawaii sometimes it's not even a joke.

GoDdEsS oF sOcCeR: yea that's what I said. Anywayz, so then he comes up wit the question, "How do I find out what he's thinking and how he feels?" So I respond, "Get his attention." He says, "how do I do that?" For once I didn't have an answer.

~ Barbie Gurl Living In A Model's World ~: shock of the century. *smirks*

GoDdEsS oF sOcCeR: Oh shut up. So we were cruising the mall some more when I saw the most perfect idea. Tai's gonna enter the Odaiba high school Male Model Contest!!!!

~ Barbie Gurl Living In A Model's World ~: R U SERIOUS!?!?!?!?? THAT"S AWESOME!!!!!

GoDdEsS oF sOcCeR: I sort of thought you'd react like that. Anyway, the contest is the Saturday of Matt's birthday. So I figured since you'd be here anyway, you could help Tai prepare for the contest u no? See I think if Matt sees Tai in a new light besides the jock, he'd realize his true feelings for him and they'd hook up.

~ Barbie Gurl Living In A Model's World ~: that's kewl. But what about if they interacted some more before hand?

GoDdEsS oF sOcCeR: my thoughts exactly. Which is why I came up with a plan.

~ Barbie Gurl Living In A Model's World ~: O do tell.

So I typed out everything that was going through my head to Mimi to see what she thought. We talked for a while longer, but then she had to go to bed. The time difference thing really kills. (A/N: isn't Japan like 8 hours different from America?) I logged off the Internet and walked to the living room. Tai was still watching TV and drinking a Pepsi.

"Ok Tai, we need to start working on your application." I said as I clicked off the TV.

"Aw c'mon Sors, I wanted to watch that. Besides, the applications aren't due until next Wednesday." He whined as I sat next to him.

"I know that but we need to start so we at least know you're in the contest." I replied as I pulled out a pen and the form.

"Name: Tai Kamiya. Age: 15. Class: sophomore." I filled in parts of the form.

"STOP! I think I can do this on my own thanks very much." He snapped, snatching it from my hands.

"Whatever you say." I said as he set to work. This is gonna be a while.

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~ Half an Hour Later ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!

"AHA! Finished!" Tai said triumphantly, while throwing his pen down. I picked up the application and read through to see how bad he messed up.

Name: Tai Kamiya

Age: 15

Class: sophomore

Location: Odaiba, Japan.

Interests: Soccer, video games, writing, drawing.

What you would do to change the world: Create peace between all worlds,
nations, and countrys.

Most recent thing you've done to help the community: played in the chairity
soccer game

Family: Mother, Father, sister named Kari.

Job you wish to do as an adult: Pro soccer player or some sort of business diplomatt. (A/N: doesn't Tai do something along those lines in the end of
02?)

Reason why for the above: Because I'm an excellent soccer player. I'd want
to be a diplomatt because I'd like helping with different countrys'
problems and negotiating how to deal with them.

Things you look for in a person: good personalety, intelligent, somewhat sensitive, nice voice, sweet, fun to be with, best-friend type, and good
looks especially blonde hair with blue eyes.

What others say about you: wild, outgoing, spontaneous, good friend, cute,
annoying, humorous, fun to be around.

Final statement: My best girl friends say I'm model material. You decide
if I am or not.

Typical Tai, making it sounds like that. And he can't even spell. I fixed his spelling and handed it back to him.

"Sounds good, T." I smiled at him. He smiled a little and looked it over.

"Are you sure that diplomat isn't spelt with two T's?" he asked. I shook my head.

"I can see what your mind is on." I smirked. His face flushed a bit. (A/N: Diplomatt. Matt. =D Couldn't resist having him spell it like that.)

"Who came up with these questions anyway?" he asked. He looked at the paper confused a bit and I really can't blame him. I mean, who DID come up with those questions? Suddenly my clock chimed. It was already 6pm. Tai stood up and started looking for his shoes.

"Hey I gotta run. Mom will be expecting me right about now. So I'll turn in the application later." He said as we headed towards the door.

"Like hell you will. Give me the form and I'll turn it in tomorrow. I'll probably be down that way anyway since my mom's shop is down there." I replied and swiftly grabbed the paper.

"What? You don't trust me?" he asked innocently.

"Of course I don't. Not with this anyway." I retorted. He pouted a bit. I just laughed at him.

"Ok so here's what we do. I'll hand in your application tomorrow. On Thursday, we'll go back to the mall to shop for the clothes you'll wear for the contest. That way Mimi will be around to help." I planned. He nodded.

"Sounds good to me...and I gotta leave now. See ya later, Sora." He called over his shoulder as he ran down the hall.

~!~!~!~!!~!~!~!~!!~!~!~!~ Thursday Afternoon, Normal POV !~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!

It was Thursday the 8th of May. Only 9 days until the contest. After school Tai went home and flopped down on his couch. Then he remembered that he, Sora, and Mimi were going to go shopping. So he headed down the hallway and rode the elevator to the 7th floor. He walked to apartment number 626 and knocked on the door. Soon he was greeted with a familiar red-head who lived there.

"Hey Sora. You and Mimi ready to go?" Tai asked as he leaned against the doorframe.

"Go where, T?" she asked him. He rolled his eyes in response.

"Quit trying to be me and act thick-headed. You two were taking me shopping for the contest remember?" he reminded her. Her eyes went wide and she slapped her hand to her forehead.

"I am SO sorry, Tai. I can't today. Mimi's not here yet and I have to work at the flower shop." She said regretfully. Tai on the other hand was ecstatic.

"That's ok Sora. We can go another time. Well, see ya!" he said as he started to walk away.

"Wait a sec! I think I know someone who can go with you and has good sense. Hang on a second." She said and dashed into the apartment. Tai heard some talking and soon she returned.

"What was that all about?" Tai asked her. She smiled.

"Just getting a replacement for right now." She said cheerfully. Tai glanced at her and realized that she knew something he didn't. They were waiting outside for ten minutes.

"Ok, I'm leaving. See ya later Sora." Tai said. Suddenly he was met face- to-face with someone. A blonde hair blue-eyed someone for that matter.

"Hey Tai, hey Sora. What's up?" Matt said.

"What are you doing here?" Tai said, quite surprised to see the object of his affection come out of nowhere.

"Sora called me and told me to come over for something. What's going on Sors?" Matt replied.

"Well, Matt I was wondering if you could do me a favor." Sora said sweetly.

"Sure. What is it?" Matt questioned.

"Well, see, I told Tai that Mimi and I would take him shopping today. But Mimi's not here yet and I have to work at my mom's flower shop. So I was wondering...would you mind taking him? Meems says you have a good fashion sense." She told him. Matt shrugged and smiled.

"Sure why not? Don't have anything else to do today." He replied.

"Great! Here's some money Mimi sent me. She sent it just in case she didn't get here on time." Sora explained as she shoved some yen into his hand. Meanwhile, Tai just stared at her, completely horrified.

"Sora, can I talk to you for a second?" Tai said as he dragged her inside.

"What's up with that? I can't go with Matt! Do you realize what will happen?" he ranted.

"Chill out, Tai. It'll be fine. He's your only option right now anyway. And then Mimi and I will go with you when we can ok?" she compromised.

"Fine." He groaned. They went back outside.

"Ready to go?" Matt asked Tai.

"Ready as I'll ever be." He replied.

"Ok then let's go. See ya later Sora." Matt said as he headed to the elevator. Tai waved and ran to catch up with his best friend. Sora watched until they were in the elevator and walked back inside, shutting the door.

"Coast is clear." She said as she walked into her room. Suddenly, the closet opened and Mimi untangled herself from it.

"Well?" she asked Sora. Sora just grinned and pointed out the window. Mimi looked down and smiled.

"Step one completed!" they exclaimed at the same time.

Sorry that this chapter is totally pointless. But it makes you wonder doesn't it? What exactly are Mimi and Sora up to? Next chapter: Matt and Tai go shopping. Oh the chaos...=D. As for Tai's application, I misspelled some of the words on purpose because I wanted it to seem like a 15 year old boy actually wrote it. And Tai's so cute anyway so it shouldn't matter that he can't spell. As for the diplomat with two T's....he he. We ALL know what's on his mind. That's all folks! And remember people, lots of reviews help me get the next chapter posted. Bye! Ixi_Vulpix.
