Finding Love Ch. 11
Author's Note: It is finally the last ball! See what'll happen and thanks to you all who reviewed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------
"Does this tux make me look fat?" Asked Tai to the others.
"No......" Answered the boys laughing hysterically. They were preparing for the ball, which is almost in an hour. (5 o' clock is the ball so now it's 4 o' clock)
"You know what I think; I think this tux make my butt stands out." Said Paul laughing. When he finished saying it, the others threw their socks at him.
"I can't explain this but I've dreaded this whole idea and now I'm actually looking forward to it." Said Tai.
"We wonder why...." Said the other boys sarcastically knowing exactly why Tai was looking forward for the ball.
"You know what I think? I think you boys need to shut the hell up! I do not like my maid. My maid is... umm what's the word? Hmmm.. Well, all you need to know is that I would never like her." Replied the mumbling Tai thinking about Sora.
"SURRRRREEEEEE"
"Shut up!" Said Tai once again and he threw his pillows at the others.
"Where's Jenny?" Asked Matt.
"Oh, she left at 2 something to get her hair done and all that girl stuff." Replied Michael.
Tai looked at the mirror again and asked "are you sure I don't look fat with this?" (Tai's just cracking one of his pointless jokes. He only does that when he's really nervous. Wonder why he's nervous?)
--The Ball--
The guys were all wearing expensive pressed tuxedos. (Just to tell you, there are other guys except them in the ball, a lot more. **As much guys as girls)
Mimi wore a spaghetti strap tight red dress down to her knees and red pretty shoes. Her hair was straight down for once. Sora wore a white, long, silky spaghetti strap dress with silver triangles on the top. Her hair was wavy. Jenny wore a black silk dress showing her back and her hair was curled. Kari wore a pink beautiful dress showing a but of her back and her hair was kept behind with a pink band.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the last important ball. Hope you wonderful ladies find the right man since there are a variety of them here. My, aren't they all handsome? (All the guys laughed) It is now 5pm and make the next seven hours spectacular. We will be around looking for qualified ladies. I want to thank all the participants and please BEHAVE." Said the awfully cheerful and happy Mrs. Ishida.
"I want to add you all are beautiful and please don't be too upset when you don't get chosen. Make friends and not enemies with the other peoples in this room." Said Mrs. Kamiya looking around for Sora and her son.
The place of the ball was well decorated with gold embroideries and many chandeliers. There were many furniture and tables with varieties of food.
"Seven hours? It's too long!" Groaned Mimi.
"I know! What are we going to do?" Said Sora.
"Well, I don't know about you guys but I'm going to chat with the other girls or guys." Said Kari looking around for a certain blonde, handsome and tall guy.
When Kari left, the two girls looked for Barbara and found her with Mandy and Patricia.
"Hey!" Said the three girls looking jealously at Sora and Mimi's palpable beauty.
"Hey!" Replied Sora and Mimi hugging them.
They engaged in a very boring conversation until Barbara told the girls about Michael's passionate kiss.
"I don't want to say it but I think I will be on Michael's list." Said Barbara while a group of girls gasped with jealous rage.
Out of nowhere Michael came and put his arms around Mimi's slender waist. Now everyone stared at them and the surprised Barbara.
"Are you hiding, Mimi?" Whispered Michael into Mimi's ear.
"Should I be?" Asked the really uncomfortable Mimi.
"You don't know how badly I want to kiss your soft and tender lips." Said Michael breathing on Mimi's neck and staring intensely at her lips. Mimi easily shoved Michael's arms away from her and turned around facing him. He was happy seeing the beautiful Mimi up close but he was disappointed when Mimi didn't kiss him. Worse, when Mimi moved away from him than closer, he felt outraged.
"Michael umm.." Said Mimi.
"What?" Asked Michael smiling his charming smile.
"Why don't you dance with Barbara? I think it'll be fun for both of you." Said Mimi feeling bad because of Michael's hurt expression.
"Sure... Barbara do you want to dance?" Asked the really disappointed and mad Michael.
"Of course!!!!!!!!"
When Michael and Barbara left, all the girls in the gossiping group asked Mimi about her "relationship" with Michael. She kept telling them that there is no relationship but they didn't listen. Until Sora said so in a really annoyed way. Sora excused herself when a handsome guy came asking her for a dance. Mimi left the annoying group also and then she was stopped by a really tall man about 6'3".
"Hey beautiful." Said a man rubbing Mimi's soft arms. Mimi turned around and saw one of her ex-boyfriends.
"Steve! What are you doing here?" Said the really nervous Mimi.
"I came to find a girlfriend and look who I've sighted. The sexiest woman on earth." Said Steve pulling her a lot closer to him. "STOP! Let go of me."
"What if I don't? You can't believe how much I've missed holding you with my arms and kissing your luscious lips. After you dumped me, I had dozens of girlfriends but none of them were as special as you. I really missed you!" Said Steve holding onto Mimi's arms tighter than ever leaving marks.
"Let go of me. There are lots of other special women for you. Trust me, I'm not the only one." Said Mimi trying to leave Steve's grip but he was too strong. There were a couple of ladies watching but they didn't do anything because they were too busy listening. (THE GOSSIP GROUP!!!)
"I told you!!! What don't you understand?! No one is better than you in any ways." Said Steve now forcing her for a kiss.
"What's going on?" Asked an angry and concerned blonde.
"Mind your own business, Ishida!" Said Steve loosening his grip a little. Now the gossip group watched closely still neglecting to help. Some of the ladies were fawning over Matt's eyes.
"Steve! Where'd you come from?" Asked Matt in the coldest way possible sending shivers into Mimi's spine seeing him like this for the first time.
"Leave! I told you before to mind your own business!"
"I'm sorry, no can do, you see this is my business!" Said Matt looking at the petrified and slim Mimi who was still fighting Steve to loosen his grip.
"What do you mean that this is you business?" Asked the confused Steve letting go of Mimi's arm.
"He means this," said Mimi putting her arms around his neck and kissing him hungrily. Matt was surprised but responded equally. When they finally stopped they were surprised at how carried away they were. Mimi couldn't believe that she almost melt into Matt's kiss, no one ever had that effect on her before.
"Oh, I see you're with Ishida." Said the angry Steve who seemed to be getting used to the idea of Matt stealing his girlfriends.
Matt still holding Mimi protectively asked "Steve, do you mind if you leave us alone? You know... We want our privacy." Steve left but cursed continuously and whoa what a field trip the Gossip Group had but Matt kindly asked them to leave Mimi and him alone in the handsomest and charming way. Once, when they'd retrieved silence, Jenny came. "Are my eyes fooling me or did you two actually kissed?" Asked the nervous Jenny moving her eyes back and forth from Mimi to Matt.
"So what if you did?" Said Mimi thinking about what just had happened.
"Why are you trying to steal Mattie? You know I love him. Well, a girl like you probably never experienced true love before but get this straight Matt is mine. He's not like one of your toys, okay? Do you understand?"
"Shut up, you don't know what you are talking about so don't say that about Mimi." Said Matt feeling overprotective of Mimi.
"Jenny, I'm not trying or going to steal Matt away from you. Anyways, Matt has a brain to decide who he wants so stop pressuring him. I understand that you love him and hopefully someday he'll love you back. But don't blame it on me if he doesn't because I'm not a hell of an influence. I'll leave you two alone now. Umm bye." Said Mimi chuckling.
"Wait..." Said Matt holding Mimi's arms but Mimi walked away. Jenny saw how Matt wanted her to stay so she pretended to be sick. "Mattie, I feel a little drowsy. Could you accompany me to the balcony?" Asked Jenny with her big puppy eyes.
"Okay." Said Matt giving Jenny his full attention since he was really worried. When he walked to the balcony with Jenny, he thought about all the kisses he'd received from different girls but the one he just shared was an inexplicable one. It gave him a weird feeling, which urged him to have more. He was definitely confused about this tingly feeling.
--The Balcony--
"Mattie, hold me I think I'm going to faint..." Matt held her and looked into her eyes wondering why he didn't get that feeling from her if he thinks that she's his lover. Jenny couldn't resist anymore and kissed Matt, giving him her all. To her dismay, Matt didn't return her passionate kiss; he simply shoved her away.
"Stop it Jenny! I don't want to hurt you."
"Matt, kiss me!"
"No! I don't love you anymore. What don't you understand?"
"You don't love me anymore? I dare you to say it in my face. Say it!"
".......... Jenny, what don't you get?"
"I knew it; you still love me.... I'm the only girl in your heart and always will be."
"That's a lie."
"Then why wouldn't you look at me and say it?"
Matt didn't know what to say since he's very confused. After staring at Jenny, he walked away from her, back to the ball. He scanned around looking for Mimi and when he found her dancing and laughing with Michael; it made him angry and outrageously jealous. (Don't forget, Mimi owed Michael dances!!!!)
----------------------------------------
After dancing with tons of guys, Sora was finally exhausted. She sat down to relax and thought that she heard "Sweeny." She gazed around and thanked god that she was hallucinating. Suddenly she felt two big hands on her shoulders saying "did you memorize the list yet? I like my maids prepared, ya know?" Without even turning around she already knew that it was her 'master.'
"I begin my shift tomorrow so please don't bother me."
"Sweeny.... Are you mad at me?" My god she's the most gorgeous woman ever....
"No..."
"I was about to say if you were, I'll double your work." Said Tai who loves looking at Sora's beautiful shaped face for her one of a kind expression.
"Why I ought to." Said Sora pinching Tai's arms making Tai want to kiss her.
"What on earth are you youngsters doing?" Asked Mrs. Kamiya and Takenouchi who were purposely there to spy on them.
"Tai... What did you call my daughter?"
"Umm. Sweetie!!!!" Said Tai smiling and putting his arms around the angry Sora's waist, who was also trying to keep a smile on.
"Aw, you already gave her a nickname.. How sweet."
"Yep... Mother..."
"We'll leave you two alone now." When they were walking away, Sora said "you didn't tell your mom that I'm your maid." "Well, of course, if I told her then I wouldn't be here now." Said Tai closing his mouth when he realized what Sora would do.
"MRS. KAMIYA!!!!!!!!!!! Do you know that Tai-"
"Yes, Sora? Why on earth are you covering Sora's mouth Tai. It is disrespectful to do that to a lady."
"Well, you see Sora wanted to tell you how much she loves me and since I'm a great son, I wanted it to be a surprise. But you know, Sora's feelings for me are harder to hold than I'd expected. Bad Sora..." Said Tai chucking handsomely to the surprised Sora.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Then we, definitely, have to leave you two alone. By the way, we have a tight schedule to follow. Talk to you two later." Said the extremely happy mothers.
When they were out of sight, Sora bit Tai's hand but all he did was laugh and moved really close to her giving her chills.
"Don't be ashamed of your feelings for me. I totally understand."
"My feelings? You idiot! Argafa, why would I have feelings for someone like you? You told your mom that I'm in love with you. Were you out of your mind? Your mom's going to expect my name to be on your stupid ass list!"
"What if, your name was already on my list. But don't feel too good for yourself, I put your name because I'm pretty sure that you are not going to pass the competitions. Not to forget, Sora is a good name and a good thing to waste space. Are you disappointed?"
"No!! I want you to get out of my face!"
"But I want you to get out of my face!" Said Tai mocking her.
"Argafa, I said it first."
"I don't care miss..."
They stared at each other for over five minutes, if Candy didn't distract them then it would've gone on forever.
"Tai...... How are you doing?"
"Wow, Candy you're beautiful!" Said Tai kissing Candy's hand making her blush madly. Sora didn't want to be jealous but Tai had never told her that she's beautiful.
"Thanks. Hey Sora!" Said Candy looking at Sora's beautiful face and body. She was obviously jealous and afraid that Tai would choose Sora, well come on who wouldn't?
"Do you want to dance?" Asked Tai elegantly.
"Yes!" Said Candy blushing since she'd replied way too fast and loud.
"Bye, Sweeny! See you later." Said Tai in the cutest way, which made her knees weak. Surprisingly, Tai came back and gave her a peck on her cheeks causing her to shiver and smile at his masculine touch. Candy saw it and knew that Tai likes her. She was jealous when she heard Tai whispered to Sora asking "I'll get mine soon, right?" After he said it, he left with Candy. Sora didn't know why she wanted him to stay. It was like his presence made her happy and yet pissed. Was she pissed because he's just way too charming, cute, handsome, sexy, tall, and muscular? (She's falling in love with him) Or was it because Tai's just freaking annoying?
-------------------------------
It was 7pm. Mimi was with Bobby in her room because the guards reported that he cannot stop crying.
"I want my mommy!!!!" Sobbed Bobby holding onto Mimi's dress wetting it.
"Shh... Don't worry, she's going to be here soon."
"Why would my mommy leave me? I love her.... Doesn't she know that I love her? Do you think mommy hates me? Mommy doesn't love Bobby anymore." Said Bobby crying harder on Mimi. Mimi picked him up.
"Do you want to go to the ball with me because Mimi wants to dance with you." Said Mimi speaking like a 4-year-old. She had enough, she wanted to bring Bobby with her so that Barbara, if she's the mother, is able to see how sad her baby was.
"Is mommy going to be there?"
"You'll see." Said Mimi picking poor Bobby up.
------------------------
"Kari, I love you." Said T.K looking at Kari's brown eyes.
"Shh. T.K, you're going to blow my cover."
"But, we're just dancing and the music's loud.
"I love you, too."
"Umm, Kari, what if one of the guys chooses you. What would you do?"
"Come on, T.K. No one is going to choose me. You're thinking way too hard." Said Kari laughing and poking T.K's flat and hard chest.
"Just answer me Kari. It might not sound important to you but it is to me."
"Fine.. I know them well enough to answer the questions incorrectly and T.K you are the only man I love." Said Kari looking at T.K's blue eyes.
"Awww" Said T.K really touched. He kissed her passionately. Tai came out of nowhere and pushed T.K to the wall by his collars.
"I warned you not to cheat on Kari!"
"Tai, let me explain."
"You don't need to explain to me and you definitely do not need to explain to Kari because you will never see her again."
"Listen! Tai.... I..."
"You what huh? Are you going to tell me that this ugly piece of shit is prettier than my cute baby sister, Kari.?!"
T.K tried not to laugh but no can do.
"What exactly are you laughing at?"
"Umm, Tai turn around."
Tai turned around and received a punch in his stomach by Cassandra.
"You're stupid Tai. I'll be embarrassed to call you as my brother."
"What? What did you just say? You feel sorry for Kari because I'm her brother?"
"No!!!!! Tai, I thought you are getting smarter but my am I wrong."
"Hey! My sister says that all the time. No wonder T.K likes you. You are a clone or a stalker. You stalk my beautiful sister so you could act like her." Said Tai in an a matter-of-fact way.
By this time, T.K and Kari smacked him. They dragged him to a room nearby and when they got into the room. Kari cannot resist but hug her big brother.
"Why on earth are you hugging me, Cassandra?"
"You doofus! I'm Kari!!!!!"
"Very funny, stop lying. Do you think I'm THAT dumb?"
Kari took off all her undercover makeup revealing a beautiful girl. Tai was dumbstruck and hugged her and kissed her on her face continuously.
"KARI! How come you didn't tell me that you're here! You told T.K and not your big brother? I'm disappointed..."
"You're disappointed? I'm disappointed at you!"
"Why?"
"I didn't tell T.K, he knew! But you however, dimwitted brother, didn't realize a thing!"
Tai did nothing but laughed and hugged Kari and also apologized to T.K.
"Promise me not to tell anyone else about this because mom's going to be mad."
"Okay..."
------------------------
She's soo beautiful and gentle......
Mimi was sitting on a couch with Bobby, feeding, tickling, and kissing his cheeks. Bobby giggled and covered his face when she kissed him. The gossiping group wondered who Bobby was. They would've thought that he was her son but they knew for sure that she was never pregnant or serious in relationships. Bobby was doing fine until he thought he saw his mother. He kept pointing up front but Mimi didn't see anyone. With that, Bobby started crying uncontrollably.
"Don't cry." Said Mimi.
"Let me try." Said a tall guy picking him up and flying Bobby like an airplane causing him to laugh.
The Gossiping Group fawned over Matt when he made Bobby laughed. They knew Matt will be a great father. When Matt sat down next to Mimi with Bobby on his laps, they looked like a family causing many girls to glare especially the ONE.
"Thanks, you really know how to handle a kid." Said Mimi looking at Matt's wonderfully rich shaped face and smiled at his kindness towards Bobby.
"It is not a problem, I love playing with kids." Said Matt who was pretending to bite Bobby's fingers since they're touching his mouth.
Mimi laughed. Matt stared at her genuine laugh and asked "what are you laughing at, Ms. Tachikawa?"
"I'm laughing at how kind you are."
"Do you have a problem with me being kind?" Said the innocent Matt.
"No, I just think it's sweet. Thanks."
"No problem."
"I mean, thanks for before, helping me get away from Steve it meant a lot. I really do hope things work out for you and Jenny."
"Lets not talk about her. So do you have any idea who his mom might be?"
"As a matter of fact yea," Mimi leaned closer to Matt and whispered "Barbara." Matt was surprised and he liked it when Mimi was that close to him but he would've liked it more if she were closer.
"Ohh... Do you want me to talk to her?"
"Would you? I mean it wil-"
"Sh, I'm going to go talk to her if it's going to ease you. I'll talk to you later."
"Thanks again."
"You have to stop saying thank you.."
Mimi laughed and hold Bobby so he could get up. When he got up, Mimi could not believe how tall and nicely built he was.
-------------------------------
"Stop following me! I don't know you!"
"I just want a dance! I asked at 7 something and now it's 9!" Said a short guy with glasses and an ugly grin.
"I danced with you over ten times!"
Who's that guy following Sora and why on earth did Sora dance with him over ten times. I saw the way he looked at her, doesn't he know that I..... Shut up Tai, don't be jealous. Ignore...... But how come I'm making this such a big deal. Do I- Stop, don't think that way.....
"But I love dancing with you! I love you Sora Takenouchi!"
"No you don't, you just met me. I don't want to be mean but could you let me rest?"
"If I let you rest then are you going to dance with me?"
"No!!! I'm tired of dancing."
"But if a cuter guy asked you, you would've said yes. Just because I'm ugly! I really love you. You are like an angel, the most beautiful one yet. Marry me!!!!"
"I don't even know your name and ....." Said Sora trying to be nice.
"Oh, I'm Danny so now we know, marry me, angel!!!! I will always love and cherish you."
"Sora! hahahahhaha" Said Mimi holding onto her stomach and Bobby from laughing too hard. Sora immediately stood next to Mimi and said "you meanie, you were listening to this weirdo talk and you did not help!!!"
"He's sooo cute. He asked you to marry him!" Said Mimi laughing harder.
"You think he's cute. Fine then." Said Sora pulling the surprised and afraid Mimi to Danny. "Danny, my beautiful friend Mimi thinks that you are cute and she wants to marry you."
"You Do!!! Wow, you are Mimi Tachikawa! You are by far the most beautiful angel!"
Mimi turned to Sora and whispered "didn't he just said the same exact thing to you before?" Sora laughed and said "yes, do you think it's funny now?" "No, I'm scared."
Matt, Tai, Michael and Paul were laughing hysterically looking at Mimi and Sora interact with Danny. They also felt sorry for them and interfered.
"Umm. Danny is it? Lay off my girls!" Said Tai putting his arms around Sora and Mimi. Although, Tai was trying to help, the girls smacked him hard.
"What were those for? I was trying to help..."
The other three boys started cracking up and also Danny causing Tai to laugh also. Tai asked Danny "who do you want more, Mimi or Sora?"
"Can't I have both?"
"You greedy bum" Said Matt laughing at this small guy's greediness and stupidity.
"But what if they both want me?" After Danny said that the girls and the boys exchanged weird glances and tried not to volatile from laughing.
"Hey! Um Mattie..."
"Lets not talk about Jenny.. Let me introduce you to Danny. This is Danny and this is Jenny."
"Wow.. You're pretty too but you're not as pretty as my angels."
Jenny looked at Tai and Matt wondering what Danny was talking about. Matt answered her questioning look "he's saying that you're pretty but you are not prettier than his angels, who are Mimi and Sora." Jenny glared at Danny causing Danny to shrink more. Luckily for Danny, Bobby's cry distracted them all. For the next 2 hours they all joked around teasing/ flirting with each other and playing with Bobby. It was finally 11 and in the next 30 minutes, the boys are going to give in their lists. It was intense and Jenny cannot stop but touch and remind Matt of their past relationship. Matt was relaxed and just for once listened. While everyone was anticipating for the results, there was a sad girl in another room with a knife.

"SURRRRREEEEEE"
"Shut up!" Said Tai once again and he threw his pillows at the others.
"Where's Jenny?" Asked Matt.
"Oh, she left at 2 something to get her hair done and all that girl stuff." Replied Michael.

The place of the ball was well decorated with gold embroideries and many chandeliers. There were many furniture and tables with varieties of food.
"Seven hours? It's too long!" Groaned Mimi.
"I know! What are we going to do?" Said Sora.
"Well, I don't know about you guys but I'm going to chat with the other girls or guys." Said Kari looking around for a certain blonde, handsome and tall guy.

"Mind your own business, Ishida!" Said Steve loosening his grip a little. Now the gossip group watched closely still neglecting to help. Some of the ladies were fawning over Matt's eyes.
"Steve! Where'd you come from?" Asked Matt in the coldest way possible sending shivers into Mimi's spine seeing him like this for the first time.

"Oh, I see you're with Ishida." Said the angry Steve who seemed to be getting used to the idea of Matt stealing his girlfriends.
Matt still holding Mimi protectively asked "Steve, do you mind if you leave us alone? You know... We want our privacy." Steve left but cursed continuously and whoa what a field trip the Gossip Group had but Matt kindly asked them to leave Mimi and him alone in the handsomest and charming way.

"Shut up, you don't know what you are talking about so don't say that about Mimi." Said Matt feeling overprotective of Mimi.
"Jenny, I'm not trying or going to steal Matt away from you. Anyways, Matt has a brain to decide who he wants so stop pressuring him. I understand that you love him and hopefully someday he'll love you back. But don't blame it on me if he doesn't because I'm not a hell of an influence. I'll leave you two alone now. Umm bye." Said Mimi chuckling.
"Wait..." Said Matt holding Mimi's arms but Mimi walked away. Jenny saw how Matt wanted her to stay so she pretended to be sick. "Mattie, I feel a little drowsy. Could you accompany me to the balcony?" Asked Jenny with her big puppy eyes.
"Okay." Said Matt giving Jenny his full attention since he was really worried. When he walked to the balcony with Jenny, he thought about all the kisses he'd received from different girls but the one he just shared was an inexplicable one. It gave him a weird feeling, which urged him to have more. He was definitely confused about this tingly feeling.
--The Balcony--
"Mattie, hold me I think I'm going to faint..." Matt held her and looked into her eyes wondering why he didn't get that feeling from her if he thinks that she's his lover. Jenny couldn't resist anymore and kissed Matt, giving him her all. To her dismay, Matt didn't return her passionate kiss; he simply shoved her away.
"Stop it Jenny! I don't want to hurt you."
"Matt, kiss me!"
"No! I don't love you anymore. What don't you understand?"
"You don't love me anymore? I dare you to say it in my face. Say it!"
".......... Jenny, what don't you get?"
"I knew it; you still love me.... I'm the only girl in your heart and always will be."
"That's a lie."
"Then why wouldn't you look at me and say it?"
Matt didn't know what to say since he's very confused. After staring at Jenny, he walked away from her, back to the ball. He scanned around looking for Mimi and when he found her dancing and laughing with Michael; it made him angry and outrageously jealous. (Don't forget, Mimi owed Michael dances!!!!)
----------------------------------------
After dancing with tons of guys, Sora was finally exhausted. She sat down to relax and thought that she heard "Sweeny." She gazed around and thanked god that she was hallucinating. Suddenly she felt two big hands on her shoulders saying "did you memorize the list yet? I like my maids prepared, ya know?" Without even turning around she already knew that it was her 'master.'
"I begin my shift tomorrow so please don't bother me."
"Sweeny.... Are you mad at me?" My god she's the most gorgeous woman ever....
"No..."
"I was about to say if you were, I'll double your work." Said Tai who loves looking at Sora's beautiful shaped face for her one of a kind expression.
"Why I ought to." Said Sora pinching Tai's arms making Tai want to kiss her.
"What on earth are you youngsters doing?" Asked Mrs. Kamiya and Takenouchi who were purposely there to spy on them.
"Tai... What did you call my daughter?"
"Umm. Sweetie!!!!" Said Tai smiling and putting his arms around the angry Sora's waist, who was also trying to keep a smile on.
"Aw, you already gave her a nickname.. How sweet."
"Yep... Mother..."
"We'll leave you two alone now." When they were walking away, Sora said "you didn't tell your mom that I'm your maid." "Well, of course, if I told her then I wouldn't be here now." Said Tai closing his mouth when he realized what Sora would do.
"MRS. KAMIYA!!!!!!!!!!! Do you know that Tai-"
"Yes, Sora? Why on earth are you covering Sora's mouth Tai. It is disrespectful to do that to a lady."
"Well, you see Sora wanted to tell you how much she loves me and since I'm a great son, I wanted it to be a surprise. But you know, Sora's feelings for me are harder to hold than I'd expected. Bad Sora..." Said Tai chucking handsomely to the surprised Sora.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Then we, definitely, have to leave you two alone. By the way, we have a tight schedule to follow. Talk to you two later." Said the extremely happy mothers.
When they were out of sight, Sora bit Tai's hand but all he did was laugh and moved really close to her giving her chills.
"Don't be ashamed of your feelings for me. I totally understand."
"My feelings? You idiot! Argafa, why would I have feelings for someone like you? You told your mom that I'm in love with you. Were you out of your mind? Your mom's going to expect my name to be on your stupid ass list!"
"What if, your name was already on my list. But don't feel too good for yourself, I put your name because I'm pretty sure that you are not going to pass the competitions. Not to forget, Sora is a good name and a good thing to waste space. Are you disappointed?"
"No!! I want you to get out of my face!"
"But I want you to get out of my face!" Said Tai mocking her.
"Argafa, I said it first."
"I don't care miss..."
They stared at each other for over five minutes, if Candy didn't distract them then it would've gone on forever.
"Tai...... How are you doing?"
"Wow, Candy you're beautiful!" Said Tai kissing Candy's hand making her blush madly. Sora didn't want to be jealous but Tai had never told her that she's beautiful.
"Thanks. Hey Sora!" Said Candy looking at Sora's beautiful face and body. She was obviously jealous and afraid that Tai would choose Sora, well come on who wouldn't?
"Do you want to dance?" Asked Tai elegantly.
"Yes!" Said Candy blushing since she'd replied way too fast and loud.
"Bye, Sweeny! See you later." Said Tai in the cutest way, which made her knees weak. Surprisingly, Tai came back and gave her a peck on her cheeks causing her to shiver and smile at his masculine touch. Candy saw it and knew that Tai likes her. She was jealous when she heard Tai whispered to Sora asking "I'll get mine soon, right?" After he said it, he left with Candy. Sora didn't know why she wanted him to stay. It was like his presence made her happy and yet pissed. Was she pissed because he's just way too charming, cute, handsome, sexy, tall, and muscular? (She's falling in love with him) Or was it because Tai's just freaking annoying?
-------------------------------
It was 7pm. Mimi was with Bobby in her room because the guards reported that he cannot stop crying.
"I want my mommy!!!!" Sobbed Bobby holding onto Mimi's dress wetting it.
"Shh... Don't worry, she's going to be here soon."
"Why would my mommy leave me? I love her.... Doesn't she know that I love her? Do you think mommy hates me? Mommy doesn't love Bobby anymore." Said Bobby crying harder on Mimi. Mimi picked him up.
"Do you want to go to the ball with me because Mimi wants to dance with you." Said Mimi speaking like a 4-year-old. She had enough, she wanted to bring Bobby with her so that Barbara, if she's the mother, is able to see how sad her baby was.
"Is mommy going to be there?"
"You'll see." Said Mimi picking poor Bobby up.
------------------------
"Kari, I love you." Said T.K looking at Kari's brown eyes.
"Shh. T.K, you're going to blow my cover."
"But, we're just dancing and the music's loud.
"I love you, too."
"Umm, Kari, what if one of the guys chooses you. What would you do?"
"Come on, T.K. No one is going to choose me. You're thinking way too hard." Said Kari laughing and poking T.K's flat and hard chest.
"Just answer me Kari. It might not sound important to you but it is to me."
"Fine.. I know them well enough to answer the questions incorrectly and T.K you are the only man I love." Said Kari looking at T.K's blue eyes.
"Awww" Said T.K really touched. He kissed her passionately. Tai came out of nowhere and pushed T.K to the wall by his collars.
"I warned you not to cheat on Kari!"
"Tai, let me explain."
"You don't need to explain to me and you definitely do not need to explain to Kari because you will never see her again."
"Listen! Tai.... I..."
"You what huh? Are you going to tell me that this ugly piece of shit is prettier than my cute baby sister, Kari.?!"
T.K tried not to laugh but no can do.
"What exactly are you laughing at?"
"Umm, Tai turn around."
Tai turned around and received a punch in his stomach by Cassandra.
"You're stupid Tai. I'll be embarrassed to call you as my brother."
"What? What did you just say? You feel sorry for Kari because I'm her brother?"
"No!!!!! Tai, I thought you are getting smarter but my am I wrong."
"Hey! My sister says that all the time. No wonder T.K likes you. You are a clone or a stalker. You stalk my beautiful sister so you could act like her." Said Tai in an a matter-of-fact way.
By this time, T.K and Kari smacked him. They dragged him to a room nearby and when they got into the room. Kari cannot resist but hug her big brother.
"Why on earth are you hugging me, Cassandra?"
"You doofus! I'm Kari!!!!!"
"Very funny, stop lying. Do you think I'm THAT dumb?"
Kari took off all her undercover makeup revealing a beautiful girl. Tai was dumbstruck and hugged her and kissed her on her face continuously.
"KARI! How come you didn't tell me that you're here! You told T.K and not your big brother? I'm disappointed..."
"You're disappointed? I'm disappointed at you!"
"Why?"
"I didn't tell T.K, he knew! But you however, dimwitted brother, didn't realize a thing!"
Tai did nothing but laughed and hugged Kari and also apologized to T.K.
"Promise me not to tell anyone else about this because mom's going to be mad."
"Okay..."
------------------------
She's soo beautiful and gentle......
Mimi was sitting on a couch with Bobby, feeding, tickling, and kissing his cheeks. Bobby giggled and covered his face when she kissed him. The gossiping group wondered who Bobby was. They would've thought that he was her son but they knew for sure that she was never pregnant or serious in relationships. Bobby was doing fine until he thought he saw his mother. He kept pointing up front but Mimi didn't see anyone. With that, Bobby started crying uncontrollably.
"Don't cry." Said Mimi.
"Let me try." Said a tall guy picking him up and flying Bobby like an airplane causing him to laugh.
The Gossiping Group fawned over Matt when he made Bobby laughed. They knew Matt will be a great father. When Matt sat down next to Mimi with Bobby on his laps, they looked like a family causing many girls to glare especially the ONE.
"Thanks, you really know how to handle a kid." Said Mimi looking at Matt's wonderfully rich shaped face and smiled at his kindness towards Bobby.
"It is not a problem, I love playing with kids." Said Matt who was pretending to bite Bobby's fingers since they're touching his mouth.
Mimi laughed. Matt stared at her genuine laugh and asked "what are you laughing at, Ms. Tachikawa?"
"I'm laughing at how kind you are."
"Do you have a problem with me being kind?" Said the innocent Matt.
"No, I just think it's sweet. Thanks."
"No problem."
"I mean, thanks for before, helping me get away from Steve it meant a lot. I really do hope things work out for you and Jenny."
"Lets not talk about her. So do you have any idea who his mom might be?"
"As a matter of fact yea," Mimi leaned closer to Matt and whispered "Barbara." Matt was surprised and he liked it when Mimi was that close to him but he would've liked it more if she were closer.
"Ohh... Do you want me to talk to her?"
"Would you? I mean it wil-"
"Sh, I'm going to go talk to her if it's going to ease you. I'll talk to you later."
"Thanks again."
"You have to stop saying thank you.."
Mimi laughed and hold Bobby so he could get up. When he got up, Mimi could not believe how tall and nicely built he was.
-------------------------------
"Stop following me! I don't know you!"
"I just want a dance! I asked at 7 something and now it's 9!" Said a short guy with glasses and an ugly grin.
"I danced with you over ten times!"
Who's that guy following Sora and why on earth did Sora dance with him over ten times. I saw the way he looked at her, doesn't he know that I..... Shut up Tai, don't be jealous. Ignore...... But how come I'm making this such a big deal. Do I- Stop, don't think that way.....
"But I love dancing with you! I love you Sora Takenouchi!"
"No you don't, you just met me. I don't want to be mean but could you let me rest?"
"If I let you rest then are you going to dance with me?"
"No!!! I'm tired of dancing."
"But if a cuter guy asked you, you would've said yes. Just because I'm ugly! I really love you. You are like an angel, the most beautiful one yet. Marry me!!!!"
"I don't even know your name and ....." Said Sora trying to be nice.
"Oh, I'm Danny so now we know, marry me, angel!!!! I will always love and cherish you."
"Sora! hahahahhaha" Said Mimi holding onto her stomach and Bobby from laughing too hard. Sora immediately stood next to Mimi and said "you meanie, you were listening to this weirdo talk and you did not help!!!"
"He's sooo cute. He asked you to marry him!" Said Mimi laughing harder.
"You think he's cute. Fine then." Said Sora pulling the surprised and afraid Mimi to Danny. "Danny, my beautiful friend Mimi thinks that you are cute and she wants to marry you."
"You Do!!! Wow, you are Mimi Tachikawa! You are by far the most beautiful angel!"
Mimi turned to Sora and whispered "didn't he just said the same exact thing to you before?" Sora laughed and said "yes, do you think it's funny now?" "No, I'm scared."
Matt, Tai, Michael and Paul were laughing hysterically looking at Mimi and Sora interact with Danny. They also felt sorry for them and interfered.
"Umm. Danny is it? Lay off my girls!" Said Tai putting his arms around Sora and Mimi. Although, Tai was trying to help, the girls smacked him hard.
"What were those for? I was trying to help..."
The other three boys started cracking up and also Danny causing Tai to laugh also. Tai asked Danny "who do you want more, Mimi or Sora?"
"Can't I have both?"
"You greedy bum" Said Matt laughing at this small guy's greediness and stupidity.
"But what if they both want me?" After Danny said that the girls and the boys exchanged weird glances and tried not to volatile from laughing.
"Hey! Um Mattie..."
"Lets not talk about Jenny.. Let me introduce you to Danny. This is Danny and this is Jenny."
"Wow.. You're pretty too but you're not as pretty as my angels."
Jenny looked at Tai and Matt wondering what Danny was talking about. Matt answered her questioning look "he's saying that you're pretty but you are not prettier than his angels, who are Mimi and Sora." Jenny glared at Danny causing Danny to shrink more. Luckily for Danny, Bobby's cry distracted them all. For the next 2 hours they all joked around teasing/ flirting with each other and playing with Bobby. It was finally 11 and in the next 30 minutes, the boys are going to give in their lists. It was intense and Jenny cannot stop but touch and remind Matt of their past relationship. Matt was relaxed and just for once listened. While everyone was anticipating for the results, there was a sad girl in another room with a knife.
