chapter III - 1st Hint and a Surprise Play

Next Day...

"Mimi honey, someone's waiting for you outside!"

"Just a minute mom!" Mimi yelled while combing her hair. 'Who could that be?' she thought.

She made her final touches, and opened the door.

Her eyes widened. "YAMATO-KUN?"

"Uh, ya, Tachikawa, do you wanna go out---I MEAN go to SCHOOL with me?" Yamato asked.

"Why not?" Mimi smiled.

"Ok then," Yamato grinned then they both walked down the street.

"Oh yeah, as your, er-hem, bridge, I'm gonna give you hints so that you'll be with Taichi in no time."

Mimi giggled.

"Believe me, getting Taichi is really easy! He likes almost everything about any girl!"

"Really, how long does he stick with one?"

"Well, his longest was 4 months, but his others are 1 week...or even 3 days!"

Mimi looked down. "oh..." was all she could mutter.

"Oh, uh...but I think you'll be a great girlfriend! I mean all of his ex are none like you!" Yamato complimented as he noticed Mimi's expression.

Mimi arched an eyebrow, "How would you know Yamato-kun!" she grinned.

"Well...coz...uh...HEY THERE'S TAICHI!" Yamato quickly shouted while pointing to Taichi.

"Hey Taichi-kun!" Mimi waved at the sight of Taichi standing in front of the school gate holding something. "What's that? What's he holding?" Mimi said as she tried to figure out the shape of what Taichi was holding.

"...uh-oh! He always makes these doughnuts if he likes somebody. I told you you didn't have to work hard to get him!"

Mimi blushed. "Why did you say 'uh-oh' Yamato-kun?"

"Because you don't know how bad those things taste like! They taste like burned rubber! Ok, for your first hint: TRY and appreciate those things. All his other ex lost major points coz of this incident."

"It can't be that bad." Mimi giggled.

Yamato shivered.

"Hey Mimi-chan, I made this for you!" Taichi smiled widely as he gave a pink box full of brown doughnuts.

"Looks good Taichi-kun!"

Yamato coughed loudly.

Mimi happily took one and bit on it. She froze. 'Ack!' she thought. 'eeeeek, Yamato-kun was right!' "Hmm, ehehe, it's...very extra-ordinary!...ya..." she thought as she was trying to make a straight face.

"AW! Arigatou," Taichi blushed. "I had help from Sora."

"Hm? Who's Sora?"

"Oh, uh..." Taichi looked around. "Oh there, that orange haired girl." Taichi pointed to a short haired girl talking to some other students. "Hey Sora!" he waved.

Sora walked to Taichi with a smile. "Hey Taichi-kun, what's up?"

"Hey Sora, I would like you to meet Mimi-chan!" Taichi introduced Mimi.

"Nice to meet you, Mimi, I'm Sora" Sora happily shook Mimi's hand.

"Hey wait, aren't you in all of my classes?" Mimi asked.

"Yup!"

"Wow! Cool!"

"She's a really good cook!" Taichi complimented Sora.

"Ya, but apperantly, you still do something that screws the food up." Yamato teased.

"HEY! Mimi-chan said it was good!" Taichi exclaimed.

"...Right..." Yamato chuckled.

Mimi adn Sora sweatdropped.

"Ok, settle down everybody!" Mrs. Minamoto yelled. "Now, i know it's a bit early to start the school plays, but we have a change this year. We will have the first school play next month because this school is going to be visited by the school administrators of the whole city."

The class started murmuring.

"And I would like everybody to participate and join the audition. Those people who'll join the audition will get extra points."

Groans were all over the class.

"Mrs. Minamoto, what will the play be about?" one of the students asked.

"Why don't you explain Ms. Takenouchi?"

"Why Sora?" Mimi whispered to Yamato.

"Well, Sora is really good in writing stories, she was the one who wrote all of this school's plays!" Yamato answered.

"Well, the play is about a princess who's engaged to a selfish prince." she started. Everyone was quietly listening. "One day, she decided to run away, she gets lost in the dark forest and was rescued by a brave knight, who she fell inlove with at her first sight. But then the prince hears about this, and tries to separate the princess and the knight by using an evil witch..."

***RIIIIIIIIIING******

"Ok, that's all for now! If you want the full story, audition for a part!"

Everyone's jaws dropped.

"CLIFFHANGER!" one of the guys yelled.

"Now, now class, if you want to hear the story you have to go to the audition, ok? Class dismissed."

Mimi ate with Taichi, Sora and Yamato's band.

Taichi and Yamato were talking, while his band members were talking to each other.

"Sora, your story is so intresting, it's the first time I saw the class paying any attention!" Mimi commented.

Sora blushed. "Arigatou Mimi. Hope you'll join the audition!"

"Sure she will! I will be the knight, and she will be MY princess." Taichi said proudly.

"You two are going out?" Sora asked. Mimi could tell that she's somehow disturbed.

"Iie! We just--" Mimi blushed furiously.

"We're waiting for the play to make it official!" Taichi put his arm around Mimi's shoulder.

"Aw, you got ahead of me!" Shinji, the band's base joked.

Everyone laughed.

"Isn't she your *counts fingers* 14th girlfriend?" Sora asked.

"15th to be exact." Yamato added.

"Aw Taichi-kun, aren't you tired of switching every week?" Sora asked concerned.

"I know this year, I'll really get my steady girlfriend!" Taichi said.

"Cross your fingers." Yamato butted in.

Sora and Mimi giggled.

"See ya tomorrow Mimi-chan," Taichi held her hands. "Thank you so much for appriciating my gift! Everyone said it was nasty, and it tasted like burned rubber, but I don't believe them! I believe you! Thank you!" and with that, he gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

"HEY HEY Taichi, isn't that a little fast?" Yamato crossed his arms.

Taichi grinned. "Bye Mimi-chan!" Taichi waved and walked with Sora.

Mimi could feel her cheeks blushing. She felt like floating. She was in dreamland forever until...

"Mimi-chan? Can we go now? Are you finished daydreaming yet?" Yamato waved his hand across Mimi's face.

"Huh? Uh, yah! Sure! Gomen!" Mimi smiled.

"Hey, wanna go get some pizza? My treat."

"Really? For what?"

"Uh...nothing, just to celebrate that the princess will have her prince very soon!"

"AW! GEE THANKS YAMATO-KUN!" she smiled widely.
