Wow, that took me......bah who cares....I've had sooooooo little time to
write, my best friend and me went to one party after another, my hands are
so full of pistils, that I feel like a piece of controlled meat. Then there
were the summer holidays, blahdyblahdyblah.
Anywayz.on with the story:
Mimi stopped in front of a big apartment building. "Wow, looks really nice."Mimi took off her sunglasses and went towards the door. A geeky looking guy in a blue uniform opened the huge glass door for her. "Welcome. I see that you're a visitor, please proceed to the receptionist," the guy said while bowing. 'Cool, I feel like in a hotel.' Mimi went over to the woman behind the big reception table. The woman smiled at her " Hello miss, what can I do for you?"
Mimi said "I'm here to see Mira Nakatori." "Ah, yes, that would be Apartment 26. Please wait a moment, so I can ask for permission. May I know your name please?" "My name is Mimi Taikawa." "Very well."
The woman picked up a cordless phone and punched the number of Mira's apartment in on keypad. Then she started to speak in a foreign language, "Guten Tag Miss Nakatori. Hier ist eine junge Dame namens Mimi Taikawa, die sie gerne besuchen würde, soll ich sie wieder wegschicken?" Mimi could hear a sigh through the phone, "Nein, ist schon okay, lassen sie sie rauf." Mira answered on the other end of the line and hung up.
The woman smiled at her, "Miss Nakatori is waiting for you, please enter the elevator over there. Mimi nodded, "Jolly good. Bye." She walked over to the elevator, passing a security guy on a chair that was eyeing her suspiciously. The silver door opened and another geeky looking guy in a blue uniform asked her, "Which apartment?" Mimi answered, "26 please." The guy nodded and pressed the button.
The elevator stopped and the guy bowed as the doors opened, "We're here.apartment 26, Nakatori." Mimi's eyes widened at the sight. She stepped out and was greeted by a throughout sight of Odaiba. The windows went from the ceiling to the ground and filled out the whole wall at the opposite of the elevator. She was in a huge living room, filled with the most different pieces of furniture. Beside a rustic wooden trunk was a brand new Ikea glass cupboard with hand made wine glasses in it.
The round dining table with its chairs seemed to be from the middle of the last century. The cupboard with the cutlery was made out of dark massive wood and had 1711 carved into it. The black leather couch beside the big flat screen TV seemed new. The beautiful table before it seemed as if it had lived through three wars.
But it were also the little things that fascinated her. An old golden porcelain pot filled with stones, collected on many journeys in all different countries. On the walls were modern pictures, old portraits with golden frames and in between African masks and Spanish dolls. Everywhere stood candleholder made of sterlingsilver with colourful candles in them. The most amazing was the big chandelier above the dining table. It looked like it was taken from an old castle in the times where knights rode into battles on horseback and everybody believed in witches.
Mimi was amazed and that wasn't always the case with her. "Ahem." Mimi whirled around and saw Mira with a small smile on her face. " Mimi said, "Hi, I hope you don't mind that I came?" Mira shook her head, "No, I'm actually glad that you came. I'm alone most of the time." "Aren't your parents at home?" Mimi asked. "No, they're never home more than two days in a row. They travel a lot because of their jobs."
"That would explain your furniture. It must have cost a fortune. Not even we have such an expensive apartment, and my parents are one of the richest in Odaiba." Mimi stated without jealousy. Mira laughed nervously, "That's the reason why my parents don't want too much visitors. Um.want to go to my room? I can't let you stand here the whole time."
Mimi nodded eagerly, "I'd love to!" "Then come on." Mira gestured with her hand to follow her. They went through a short corridor . it looked like the living room, with many souvenirs and even a statue of the god Anubis. The walls were covered with a hundred different pictures of places all over the earth. The Khmer ruins in Kambodscha, the Niagara falls, the Eiffel tower in Paris and other things like family and wedding pictures. A few were of Mira's childhood and her parents.
On the end of the corridor was an old wooden door which Mira opened. She stepped aside and let Mimi in. Mimi looked around , "Wow, you've got a really cool room."
It was painted in red and the curtains were white with roses on them and trailed down to the ground on every side of the two big windows. The ground was wood and a Persian carpet was in front of the big four poster bed. It too had colourful curtains on it that could be drawn at night. The bed sheet had a zebra design on it and there were all sorts of cushions on it. The furniture was like in the rooms earlier. Old mixed with new and of every origin. A white writing desk with gold fittings. The computer was turned on and she could see all kinds of music data's being downloaded.
The wall beside the door was taken with a very big cupboard obviously full of clothes. Beside the hi-fi system was a flat screen TV and the wall around it was full of all kinds of CD's. The walls were full of concert posters of bands like: Red hot chilli peppers, Avril Lavigne, Pink, Wheatus and Blink 182. Mimi got a big smile on her face when she spotted a poster of the Teenage Wolves with Matt in the front.
Left to the door was what Mimi would call her paradise. A table with all kinds of make up, hair things and perfumes on it. On a polished piece of root hung all different sorts of jewellery.
"Sit down and make yourself comfortable." Mira in directed her to a dark blue couch at the window. On the glass table were all sorts of magazines, like Vogue and Cosmopolitan.
Mira sat down opposite of her in a matching white couch. "I don't want to be rude, but why are you here?" Mimi snapped out of the dream like state, "Oh, I totally forgot. I wanted to ask you if you'd like to come to a party with us tonight. Matt had wanted to ask you earlier, but he couldn't find you." Mira's face lit up, "A party? I'd love to. Where is it?" "In the old music store in the western part of Odaiba."
"Sure, I'd love to." "That's just so cool, the others will be very surprised, "Mimi squealed in sheer delight. " "Do I have time to dye my hair?" Mira asked. Mimi said, "It's three thirty now. The party starts at eight o'clock." Mira said, "Then we've got plenty of time." "Plenty of time, that's only five hours. Come on let's get started. "Mimi said, looking at Mira as if she had sprouted wings.
Half an hour later both were sitting in the same places like before, only that Mira had a towel wrapped on her head. Both of them were reading one of the magazines from the table and Avril Lavigne was blasting the hi-fi system. Mira looked up from her magazine, "Mimi do you have any clothes with you?" Mimi closed the magazine and put it on the table, "No, I didn't know if you would come, so I left them at home."
"You can borrow my clothes and make-up if you want, " Mira said standing up and walking over to the cupboard, "come here." Mimi stood up and nodded eagerly, "That would be cool, so I don't have to go home and get ready there." Mira opened the cupboard door at the very left and stepped aside. Mimi's eyes grew wide. "Woooow. This looks like Kylie Minogue's closet."
Then Mimi noticed the pictures on the inside of the cupboard door. There were around ten photos of a band at a concert and at parties. Mimi looked at Mira, who had a nervous grin on her face and then again at a picture of a girl on a stage with a microphone in her hands. She really looked like Mira, the girl on the photo had red hair and Mira's had looked like it had been dyed red once.
"That.is that you?." Mimi asked. "Um.yes, that's me. I've been in a band before we moved here. These are my friends Cathrin, Brian, Thomas and Leon. I guess that explains the clothes." Mimi thought, 'How very interesting.' Mira started to feel uneasy, "Why are you looking at me, as if I was an alien? Don't you want to find something for the party?" Mimi grinned, "Sure." And started to look through the closet until she found something she liked. It was a tiger-look dress and the straps were to knot behind the neck. "Could I borrow this one?" "Yeah, sure whatever you like." Mira said happily. Mimi said, "Now, we've go to wash out the hair dye before they become black."
Both girls went to the beautiful bathroom and washed Mira's hair. Mimi grinned deviously at her, "Can I do your hair?" Mira said, "Only if I can do yours." "Okay, deal." An hour later both girls had their hair done. Mira's was now dark brown and in corkscrew curls while Mimi's nearly went down to her waist and was perfectly smooth.
"That's awesome, I've never had it that way before. I like it that way." Mimi exclaimed. Mira smiled, "My friend Cathrin and I did that too before every party. You know dressing and doing each other's hair." Oh my god, we've still to get dressed and put on our make-up. Well, yours." Mimi said.
The rest of the time went by and in the end the two stood in front of Mira's full length mirror dressed and all. They looked gorgeous. Mimi had on the tiger look dress, pearl earrings and matching black hi heels (Mira's). And Mira had on a red tube top, a black skirt that went to her knees with two very high slits and a pair of long black hi heel boots. Both had make up on their faces. Mimi's was a mix op pink and brown and Mira's was black with blood red lipstick.
"We look so good!" Mimi said delighted, then added half whispering, "Matt will drop dead if he sees her." "What did you say Mimi?" "Uh, nothing. Let's get going it's eight thirty already." Mimi said. "Okay then, let's go."
Phew, that took me quite long to write, you know! Hope you liked it a tad bit. Please review would you?
It helps me a lot to know you're still reading this.
The next part will be the party and things heaten up a little.
Toodles, yours Tequ!ni
