Matt vs Kai

By Darks Light

It was morning. Mimi woke up to find herself still in her parents mansion in America after a disturbing nights sleep, she didn't know what had been troubling her but it didn't matter now. She was going back.

It was the first day of spring break and she was going to be flying back, back to Japan and the friends she had left there and missed so much. She got out of her pink queen size bed, walked out on to her balcony, it was a sunny day that filled her with warmth, and longing for her friends and the life she had left behind.

After a shower she got dressed, a short pink skirt and small tight pink blouse, pink still was her favourite colour. When she had finished brushing her long light brown hair, she finished packing her things. It was still only 11 30am and her plane didn't leave till 12:45 so there was no real reason to rush as she had packed everything last night, however she was just to anxious, she was going to see matt.

'Oh I hope he is happy to see me' she thought to herself, it had been such along time since she had seen him and the others and it was over this time that she had only just truly realised her feelings for him.

Mimi remembered all the times they had back in Japan, just hanging out and enjoying each other's company. 'This isn't going to be easy Oh I wish I knew what his feelings for me were, that would make every thing sooo much easier.' Mimi thought, she was planning on telling matt her feelings for him when she went with the gang on vacation. ' What if he already has a girl friend? What if he doesn't feel the same way? ' All these thoughts had continuously gone through her head since she had made the decision.

Time must have gone past real fast because before she new it she was on the plane and on her way to Japan!

When her plane finally arrived at the airport in Japan Mimi started her search for her best friend Sora who was supposed to be picking her up as she was staying at her place until they left. 'I wonder if matt and the others will be here? I do hope Matts here!' she thought.

Mimi rounded a corner in the airport and through the crowed, she could see Sora, Matt and the others, even Joe and Izzy managed to make it! Kari was even holding up a sign that read, "Welcome back Mimi!" 'Wow Kari's really grown up now, I wonder if her and TK are still dating?' thought Mimi as she made her way through the crowed

"SORA, MATT, TAI, KARI, TK, IZZY, JOE!!!!! Hey guys!!!!!" Yelled Mimi as she ran over to them "I'm back!"
" Mimi!" yelled Sora and gave her friend a big hug, "its great to see you!" Sora hasn't changed a bit!' thought Mimi 'she's still her tall beautiful self!' Everyone had now crowded around to say welcome back to their friend, only matt stayed back. Mimi noticed, and after everyone had settled down a bit, she made her way over to see him.
"Hey Matt, miss me?" she said and gave him a hug,
"yeh I did" said a blushing Matt,
"Mimi you go girl!" yelled Tai, her and matt both blushed,
"Mimi you look...well great!" Matt said blushing even more so that Mimi found it hard not laugh. She just smiled at him, her eyes shining brightly with her love for him, 'she looks just like I imagined she would, still as cute and happy as when she left' he smiled back, that charming smile that Mimi loved.

'Does she like me? I don't know I hope she does, all I know is I love her, I cant believe it took me this long to realise it!' Matt thought ' well here goes nothing'.
"Mimi can I ask you something?"
"yeh go ahead matt" Mimi replied,
"Mimi I..."
"MIMI, I think your luggage has arrived" yelled Kari and TK,
"Ok coming" Mimi replied,
"what where you going to say matt?" she asked.
"Nothing, don't worry" said Matt
"Ok" Mimi smiled then ran off to get her luggage.

When Mimi arrived at Sora's place they junked everything in Sora's room, the others were coming over later so they could all go out for a welcome back dinner for Mimi. Mimi was lying on the bed she was to be sleeping on in Sora's room thinking about Matt, a usual topic that seemed to come into her young mind a lot, something must of shown on her face because the next minute her thoughts were interrupted.
"Mimi what you thinking about?" asked Sora
"...oh...ah nothing" said Mimi blushing, 'oh I cant lie to Sora she's my best friend' Mimi thought.

"Ok Sora I'll tell you just you have got to promise not to tell anyone!" Sora promised and Mimi told her about her crush on Matt.
"Oh that's so cute!!!" Sora said,
"I sort of guessed you liked him." Mimi blushed.
"Well who do you like Sora?"
"..."
"Oh come on Sora I told you who I liked," Mimi whined
"...Tai" said a slightly red Sora
"don't you go and tell him though, or I'll tell Matt" said Sora half laughing.
"You should so tell him how you feel, right now, ring him it will be a lot easier on both of you because everyone else wont be around!" said Mimi,
"oh and what about you and matt?" laughed Sora. ' I know I probably should listen to Mimi, anyway she's right, it would be easier without everyone watching us, ok I'll do it.'
"Ok Mimi I'll do it" said Sora,
"YAY!" yelled Mimi.

Sora dialled the number, like she had so many times before. It rang for a bit than a familiar voice answered
"Hello this is Tai",
"hey Tai its Sora" Sora said nervously,
"Oh hey Sora, hows it going? I was just about to start getting ready to come over, is everything ok?"
"Everything's fine Tai, I was just calling to tell you that I...I love you!" Sora blurted out, she could feel her face going red, 'there I have said it, oh why hasn't he said something yet?' she thought

Just then as if Tai had read her mind He spoke
"wow Sora, I never thought you would be this open,"
"well what do you think Tai will you go out with me?"
"Of course I will Sora! I love you!" and in the background he could just hear Mimi go "aw that's so cute."
"Oh Tai can I ask you a favour?" asked Sora
"Sure" replied Tai,
"Well you see Mimi she likes Matt"
"Sora you said you wouldn't tell anyone" Sora paid no attention to her friend she had just got what she thought as a good idea to get Mimi and Matt together.

"I had this idea that we could make Matt jealous by u just kissing Mimi on the cheek at the Pizza Parlour, please Tai for me?" Sora pleaded,
"Well ok, I'll do it for you Sora" Tai said. "Wow this all be interesting to see the look on Matts face" said Tai half laughing.
"Thanks so much Tai, I'll see you tonight,"
"Ok bye" said Tai.
