Chapter 3
A/N: Ok- back from Japanese night class early!
Decided to write/type/post chapter! Yeah!
I have to apologize for the waits- but I can't help it. I'm taking a LOT of hard classes this semester! *stupid kate* but there's a good trade off- I'll get to study abroad and not worry about classes- more time to sight see and learn all the cultural stuff :)
Anyway, I'll be quiet and get on with the show!

"So, you're going?" Mimi asked as she sat down on Sora's bed. Watching the auburn haired girl dig through her closet for the 'perfect' outfit made Mimi smile.
'I have never seen her this excited.' Mimi thought to herself.
"What about this?" Sora asked as she held up a pair of jeans and a blue shirt.
"Those are nice if you are going to just hang out at the mall… but…"
"But what? I like these jeans." Sora said as she threw yet another outfit onto the pile that was deemed 'not worthy' by Ms. Fashion herself.
"Ok- I give up. You look and find something."
"But you don't have anything. That's what we've found out after about an hour of looking. Sora… look, you're my friend and I want this to be special, so I took the liberty and brought something over." Mimi smiled all giddy as she bent over and pulled out small dark blue dress out of her bag. "I know you hate pink, so I got something in a blue, now don't say anything- just go try it on." Mimi instructed as she handed the dress over to her best friend.
Sora was shocked. 'It's not neon pink!' She smiled. 'I think I actually might like this dress.' Sora thought as she walked into the bathroom and changed into the outfit Mimi had brought. Sure, it was a little short, but it did look nice. The silky material felt good against her creamy skin. Looking at her self in the mirror Sora couldn't help but feel excited.
"So?" Came a knock on the door. "What do you think?"
"Mimi! I love it." Sora replied as she exited the room with the spaghetti strap dress on.
"And it will look perfect with these." Mimi said holding up some high-heeled black sandals.
"Do you think that this is getting too dressed up? I mean he hasn't even told me where to meet him… what if he just wants to take things slower… I mean…" Sora stopped. Really it was her who wanted to take things slower. I wish Tai had told me what to do… I wish it was Tai who was taking me out tonight… but he just ran off… he couldn't possible think of me as anything more than a friend…' She thought with a sigh.
"Well- you put those one and start with the make up and hair- I have to go make a quick call to my mom… I forgot to tell her I was coming over…" Mimi smiled as she quickly went out into the hall.
Pulling out her cell phone Mimi quickly dialed a number and began to whisper to the person on the other end.
"And you didn't tell her where to meet him?" Mimi tried to yell, but quietly so that Sora wouldn't hear the conversation.
"Well, what was I suppose to say? This was all your idea." Came the guys voice on the other line.
"Maaatt." Mimi whined. "You were suppose to make the reservations at the restaurant and then text Sora about it!"
"I thought you were going to tell her- I'm the one who has to convince 'Mr. I'm in Denial' to actually go there and meet up with her." The blonde haired teen replied.
"Oh alright- you work on Tai and I'll find some way to get Sora to the right restaurant on time. Oh and make sure he's dressed up!"
"Mimi! This is going to be impossible! You know Tai never dresses up. Come on, I don't think it'll matter if he's dressed up or not. The important thing is that neither expects to find the other there."
"Matt, I know how the plan works! I came up with it remember?" Mimi said in a harsh tone.
"Parts of it honey. But this time I'll let you take the credit."
"Ah, aren't you sweet? But seriously- just make sure Tai is there and doesn't suspect anything."
"Ok- love ya too."
"Bye."
With that Mimi clicked off her phone, and it was a good thing too because Sora had just exited her room and was looking for her.
"Hey- there you are… I was worried you left or something." Sora smiled. She was still oblivious to the scheme that was going on behind the scenes to get her and Tai together. "I needed your opinion on my hair… do you think it would be better up or down?" Sora asked as she tried to pull her shoulder length auburn locks up to give Mimi a visual.
"I think it looks good down." Mimi smiled innocently.

"So Tai- what' up tonight?" Matt asked as he plopped down on the couch next to his best friend.
The two boys were over at the Kamiya family apartment just talking and playing video games.
"Not much." Tai sighed. Ever since Sora told him she was meeting her admirer after school, he couldn't stop thinking about her. 'What am I going to do?' Tai asked himself over and over again. He was hopeless now. She was totally in love with this admirer guy. Tai had ran through a list of possible guys a thousand times and no one, no one he could think of had ever thought of Sora like this guy did. Or himself, for that matter. But he couldn't tell her that.
"Well, why don't we go out for dinner or something? We could double date. Mimi and I were going out tonight and I could find you a friend or something…" Matt offered.
"No thanks…" Tai said in a depressed tone of voice. "I just don't feel like going out tonight."
"But come on Tai- you should do something to get your mind off all your problems." His blonde haired friend suggested.
"Problems? What problems? I haven't got any problems…" Tai lied. He knew matt didn't buy it but was glad that the subject was dropped.
"Just do something for me will you? Can you meet me later at this little restaurant? A slice of pizza will be a nice treat for once. My treat." Matt suggested again. "But anyway, I got to run now. I'll meet you at the pizza parlor down on Main Street? Say 9-ish?"
Before Tai could even get a response out Matt waived and ran out the door.
"What was all that about? And why that pizza place… it's kind of out of the way…" but Tai just shrugged it off and laid down on the couch. He was just out of it right now. He knew that sooner or later he would have to face Sora and her admirer- he just wished it was a lot later, rather than sooner. 'Why couldn't it have been me that she liked?' Tai asked himself as he slipped off into a light sleep.

A/N: Short chapter- I know… but I do have to sleep sometime… wait isn't sleep for the weak??? Well usually- except when one has a hiragana/katakana/kanji test the next day…. So with that in mind I will bid you all a good night-
Except when you read this it will most likely be morning/afternoon already-
But whatever- I'm going to pass out on my nice soft bed, instead of at the computer……..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
