A/N: I'm starting to get a lot of ideas for this fic so I decided might as well start to take it more seriously ^_^; Someone asked but no the manga that its parodied from? You don't have to know it ^_^ I'm just taking the main plot from it. Plus thank you for all the nice reviews! It makes me want to write more ^_^;

Mimi gaped at the magnificent buildings around her, as Taichi pulled her around campus. The more she saw, the more she was amazed and the only thought that crept into her mind was, 'So...so huge!'

Grinning Tai pointed at a mansion type building on the other side a gigantic fence and explained. "See that? That's the neighboring girls academy." Mimi gazed in admiration. It was even bigger than this school! "There is a girls academy right next door? Isn't that sort of…I don't know ironic?

"Yep. Weird eh? Sometimes a couple of the guys will attempt to jump the fence but then they just a chewed out." Taichi shrugged, when she asked, "By the principal?"

"No by the guard dogs and security system they have."

"Oh."

Gazing up at the sky for a moment, Taichi sniffed. "Hey…I think I smell dinner. Lets go to the cafeteria!" he suddenly urged, pulling at Mimi once more. "Come on Yamato!"

Grabbing his best friend, the brunette started to yank him towards the main building, as Mimi watched them go.  Sighing, she soon followed, even though she was far too excited to eat at the moment. Still…it was a great chance to meet her fellow classmates.

When they looked inside the dining hall, Taichi almost jumped out of his skin and yelped, "Woah! Everyone's almost here! The food!!" Rushing inside, he left the other two, standing his wake. Startled, Mimi looked to Yamato for answers but he just shrugged and said, "If you don't get there first you sometimes don't get fed."

A strangled expression on his face, Yamato shook his head in exasperation and sighed, "And Tai would die without food for even a day." Not even glancing over to see if she was listening, he started to follow his friend and instructed, "I'll go get our dinner okay? Just wait here we'll find you."

Blushing Mimi just nodded. "Alright." Watching him leave she didn't notice a boy with blue hair creep up behind her and snarled, "So you're the transfer student everyone's talking about."

Mimi turned around and let out a startled, "Eh?" As the blue haired boy sniffed before flipping his hair and continued, "I'm Ichijouji Ken. The Academy's Bishounen Idol!"

Dumbfounded by what the boy was talking about, Mimi just repeated, "Eh?"

"They were right. You are really girly looking for a guy. A pretty boy huh? Well don't even think you're going to get my title!" With a huff Ken stalked off, past Mimi and left her standing shocked at what just happened. "Eh?"

Confused she decided not to think about it when another voice inquired, "Are you the transfer student?" The older boy had snuck up behind her when she was preoccupied with Ken and now stood admiring her looks. 'Wow…he is pretty...just like a girl.'

"Nani…?" Turning around Mimi met his eyes and blushed for a moment, as she realized he was probably her senpai. "Hello. Yes, my name is Miki."

Flashing a hundred dollar smile the boy extended his hand to her and crooned, "Pleasure to meet you. I'm Jyou Kido, student body president" As Mimi took his hand he smiled, before adding, "Don't worry about Ken. He's just a bit spoiled."

"What was he talking about anyway?" Mimi questioned, wondering what on earth had caused the other boy to act the way that he did. Her curiosity was answered when Jyou pointed to a large poster with an image of a sexy looking Ken on it. "Ken's our school idol."

"Idol?"

"Yea. Every year we choose the prettiest boy in the school to be our school star. Ken's been the idol for three years straight." Mimi took everything in slowly. That was crazy! But it must be nice to get so much attention she understood, fond of it herself.

"You see..." Jyou continued. "Ken hasn't really had much competition for the title before. But now that your here he might have to give up the crown." Mimi flushed at the thought and frowned thinking,  'Oh great! And I didn't want to stick out!'

Too deep in thought, she didn't notice the flash that appeared from the corner of the hall, as a scruffy looking boy snickered, "Heehee...Our new Star is pretty cute. I'll make a lot of dough for these pictures!"

Placing a hand on Mimi's shoulder because of her sudden quietness, Jyou looked concerned and asked. "Are you alright?"

At that moment Taichi decided to come looking for Mimi and seeing Jyou the school's playboy (snicker) touching her, he lunged at them. Defensive he shouted, "Get your hands off him you fiend!" and slapped away Jyou's offending hand with a sloppy karate chop. Standing protectively in front of her, Taichi glowered before snapping, "What's this Kido? Going after boys now too?"

Snorting, Jyou waved him away absently and muttered, "Whatever Kamiya." Sauntering away, the older boy stopped just before he turned the corner and flashed Mimi another brilliant smile. "Ja ne Miki-chan!"

Blushing, as Tai scowled, Mimi waved timidly wondering why Taichi seemed so displeased, when he warned, "Stay away from him Miki-kun. He's just a playboy."

Blushing at the comment Mimi started to laugh nervously and stuttered, "Ahahahaha...it's ok. He's a playboy so he'll go after uh...girl's right? Hehe."

Shaking her head, she tried to hide her crimson face, when he answered, "Yea but...you don't know with him." Giving one last surly in the direction that Jyou had gone, Taichi switched back to his usual pleasant demeanor and quickly changed the subject, "Anyway come one Miki-kun, lets go eat! Yamato is probably waiting."

Entering the cafeteria, Taichi pointed to a cluster of students all crunched up on one table. "See there's Yamato," he pointed and Mimi scanned to find him. Seeing many more boys all smiling and joking around with eachother, she asked, "Who are the rest of them?"

"Ok, I'll give you a run down. That one with the bowl shaped head is Iori. He's are neighborhood pocket mystic." Puzzled she repeated him, "Pocket mystic?"

"Yea, he's a weird one. He's also my roommate. He can see people's auras and junk." Stunned Mimi looked at the shorter, younger boy. "That's amazing!"

"Yea I guess. Moving on." He pointed to one with spiky hair, similar to his own mop. "That's Daisuke. He's a little shrimp but ya grow to love him. And last but not least there's Izzy. But you already know him." Mimi just nodded, soaking everything in. "I think I got it."

"Good. Now lets eat!" Dragging her to the table, he plopped her down next to Daisuke, who immediately outstretched his hand and greeted, "Oiy, hey! You must be the new kid? Nice ta meet ya. The names Motamiya."

Smiling she nodded. "Nice to meet you too." After everyone finished with introductions, they began to discuss the school festival. "This years its gonna be great!"

"Yea but we need to think of what our dorm is doing."

"Hmmm."

Confused Mimi spoke up. "Festival?"

"Yea every year our school has an annual festival to celebrate the sakura blossoms. The three dorms compete in different activities and the winning dorm gets a prize."

"Oh wow. That sounds like fun!" she exclaimed, eagerly and Taichi beamed. "It is...and you wanna know the best part?"

"What?" she requested, enthusiastically.

"Its an open festival! That means girls can come!" The boys cheered at this, as Mimi sweat dropped and mumbled, "Oh. Umm, what are the activities?"

"Well the first day we compete in sports. The second in academics and the third is a beauty contest."

"Beauty contest?!" Surprised, Mimi prodded the subject, "Why a beauty contest?"

"It's sort of a school tradition. The three dorms pick the prettiest looking boys from their dorms and enter them." Leaning over to Mimi, Taichi smirked. "And with Ken and now you, we're sure to win!" Blushing Mimi shook her head and protested, "No way! I'm not dressing up as a girl. You have to be kidding!"

"Aww...come on Miki-kun! Do it for the dorm!" Still shaking her head no, Mimi pouted, "Not a chance."

********

"Lets see...where is my dorm. Number 27...number 27..." Searching through the halls, she finally found it after a good while. Gripping the handle she hesitated, nervous to find what may be lurking inside. Who was going to be her roommate? Could she keep her secret? What if he's a pervert?! Still shaking she slowly turned the knob, fully opening the door and peered inside the shadowy room to find...
