What the girl wants

Chapter 5: Wish upon a falling star

Mimi was strolling down one of the streets of Odaiba, carrying loads of bags since she had been shopping all day.

"Young miss, young miss!" Mimi didn't realize that she was the young miss until a hand was laid on her shoulder. She turned around which caused her to accidentally hit the person behind her with one of her many shopping bags.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! Can I help you with anything?" Suddenly Mimi realized who the person was. "Its you", she said and took a step backwards. "How did you find me?" The old woman dressed in colorful clothes and jewelry was panting hard and couldn't speak for about a half minute.

"I've been searching all over town for you! Young miss, you remember me?" Mimi rolled her eyes. How could she forget? Even if she tried… No.

"Yeah, I remember you. What do you want?" The woman straightened up and cleared her throat.

"You remember you came to me in shop? Maybe two weeks ago?" Mimi nodded.

"Yeah?"

"Well, I think I can solve your problem. See sometimes I get these visions at night when I'm asleep." Mimi closed her eyes and shook her head. It's called dreaming you maniac. "Well, one of them was about you", the lady continued. "Can you remember a time when not this many boys liked you?" Mimi raised an eyebrow. Of course she did. Because of her good looks she had always caught the guy's attention, but not at this rate.

"Yeah, I do. What about it?" The woman nodded.

"Well, maybe you had some kind of love problem back then? With a boy?" Well duh! All teenage girls have love problems!

"Yes, maybe I had."

"I knew it! You see, when your relationship ended you made a wish! You made a wish for every boy in world to like you, right?" Mimi stared at the woman. What is she saying? That I made a wish and… Her eyes widened.

*Flashback*

"Why Kouchi, why?" Mimi hit the bench she was sitting on with all of her strength. She winced out of pain. She caressed her sore fist while muttering nonsense. She was sitting all alone on a park bench in the Odaiba Park. It was pretty late and the stars were lit for the night. Mimi Tachikawa, fourteen years old, and fed up with love. Well, her future would have been very different if that was true. Actually, she wanted more love. "It's not fair! I still love him! Why can't he understand that?" Mimi pulled up her legs on the bench and hugged them tightly. Didn't she deserve love, just like everybody else? "It's just not fair!" She sat up straight again and balled her fists. "I'm gonna show him! I deserve to be loved just as much as anybody else!" But suddenly her courage sank. "But how?" She crossed her arms and started thinking while biting her lip. Suddenly she spotted a falling star in the sky. She blinked a few times and then smiled. "I wish for all the boys to fall in love with me…", she whispered and then thought for a while. "Well almost all the boys." She added with a giggle. She stood up and rolled her eyes at herself. "Girl, talk about being a maniac", she muttered and then headed home.

*End of Flashback*

Mimi blinked a few times.

"Eureka!" The woman almost fell over and grabbed a lamppost to gain her balance again.

"Do you understand now, Miss?" Mimi nodded, staring out into space.

"But I don't get it. I've wished upon falling stars several times in my life, and my wishes never came true until then!" The woman shrugged, looking a bit sheepish.

"Falling stars have very weird taste in humor, I guess." Mimi shot the lady a strange look and then sighed.

"But how am I supposed to reverse the wish? I can't go one living like this!" As she said that a group of boys passed her and threw admiring glances at her. "Oh bugger off, will ya", she snarled when one of them was going to introduce himself. They all looked surprised but then took her advice and "buggered off". The lady was searching through her pockets and after a few seconds she found what she was looking for.

"Take this", she said and gave Mimi a small bottle, which said "drink me". Mimi looked skeptically at the old woman with a raised eyebrow.

"Drink me? Enough with the Alice in Wonderland rip-offs!" The lady swetdropped.

"I didn't write it, must have be people on E-bay."

"E-bay? Are you telling me that…" But the woman interrupted her.

"You drink that and kiss boy you love, then wish will be reversed", the lady said in her best English. Mimi rolled her eyes and then sighed in a whatever-matter.

"Whatever", she said, to overstate the sigh. "I'm ready to do anything to get a normal life." The lady patted her shoulder with an encouraging look.

"You're a good girl, I can tell. You come to me with problems, anytime you wish." Mimi growled silently.

"Please don't mention the word Wish!"

"Sorry", the woman said and swetdropped again. Suddenly a thought hit Mimi.

"But what if the boy I love only loves me because of the wish?" The woman suddenly looked sad.

"That's beyond my powers, dear child. No one can control that."

After saying goodbye to the weird old lady, Mimi started to make her way home. The thought of Yamato only being in love with her because of the wish still troubled her and she wasn't exactly watching where she was going.

"Watch out", was the last thing she heard before something hit her and she fell to the ground covered in her newly bought clothes.

"Damn! I'm so sorry, please forgive me! I was running too fast and you just came out of nowhere and…" The voice stopped. Mimi opened her eyes and stared up into a pair azure blue ones. Her first impulse was to kiss the person bending over her.

"Yamato", she whispered but not loud enough for the person to hear it.

"A-are you okay", the person stuttered. After another look at the person she had collided with she noticed that it was a young boy. Maybe one or two years younger than her and really cute. And he was like an exact copy of Yamato!

"Uhm... Y-yeah", she answered and sat up again. Noticing all the clothes and bags spread around her she grimaced and quickly started to collect them. "It was all my fault, believe me. I wasn't watching where I was going", she mumbled and felt how her cheeks started to burn. The boy helped her to pick upp all her things and when she was finished he helped her up on her feet.

"But you have to admit that I was the one who collided with you", he said but smiled. "Is there anything I can do to make up for my clumsiness?" Mimi giggled.

"No, it's all right", she said and felt a bit uneasy. Even if he seemed to be awfully nice and polite she got the feeling that he wanted something more.

"Aw, come on. Give me the honor to at least make you some tea!" Mimi had a rejection line on her tongue but then swallowed it. He was so young, and he looked so hopeful. She didn't see any harm to make him happy without promising anything. After all, her heart belonged to Yamato.

"Sure", she said, giving up. "Why not?" The boy beamed at her, and Mimi was sure that she had never seen such a big smile. Yamato never smiled like that.

"Great", he said and then offered to carry all of her bags. Mimi blushed and said that she could carry them, but he insisted.

"So, what's your name", he asked as they were on their way.

"Mimi", she answered with a smile. "And yours is?"

"Takeru", he said with a large grin. "But a lot of people call me T.K." Mimi nodded smiling. Somewhere in the back of her head something told her that those names were supposed to make a bell ring. The only sound she heard was the sounds from the traffic and Takeru's voice. They weren't far from Takeru's apartment and when they got there they were greeted by a woman in her late thirties.

"Home so soon Takeru", she said surprised but then she noticed Mimi. "Hello there", she said with a warm smile. Mimi returned the smile and was about to introduce herself but Takeru beat her to it.

"Mum, this is Mimi. Mimi, this is my mum Nancy." (Someone else used that name somewhere, so why not?)

"Nice to meet you", Mimi said sweetly and shook Nancy's hand.

"It's nice to meet you too, Mimi."

"I knocked her down a few blocks away and decided to invite her home for tea as an apology", Takeru explained with a sheepish grin. Nancy shook her head with a short laugh.

"Oh, Takeru. You always mess things up", she said and returned into the kitchen. "What am I going to do with you" she continued cheerfully. Takeru scratched his neck and looked a little embarrassed.

"Don't listen to her, I don't always mess things up!" Mimi giggled and rolled her eyes playfully.

"Sure you don't."

They followed Nancy into the kitchen. With a subtle, very subtle hint from Takeru she left the kitchen short there after. As he was making tea she got a chance to study him closer. He sure looked a lot like Yamato. He was just a little bit younger and had another hairdo, that's all. The resemblance was almost unnerving. It's amazing how alike two people can be even if they're not related to each other.

"There", Takeru said and placed her cup on the table. "Now tell me if that isn't the best tea you've ever tasted." Mimi smiled and lifted the cup to her lips. She inhaled the sweet aroma and then took a small zip. It was still pretty hot but she had to admit that it tasted really good.

"This is actually the best tea I've ever tasted", she said and grinned. "You've got many hidden talents Takeru-san!" He blushed a little and sat down by the table.

"My brother taught me", he said and took a zip from his own tea. "I only make it to my special guests." Mimi opened her mouth, unsure if she was about to comment the "special guest" thing or ask him about his brother. However, she was interrupted. The doorbell rang. Takeru got up to open the door, but the person on the other side of the door opened it before him.

"Hello, any intelligent life in here?" A head with a mess of blonde hair popped into the room. "Oh, I guess not, since it's only you and mum here", the blonde haired guy said with a grin. Mimi froze on the spot. Of course! Now it all made sense!

"Well, count again Matt, cause we've got a guest. More exactly I have a guest." And when the taller blonde's eyes connected with Mimi's she didn't know what to say. She just kept repeating the words "of course" in her head. It was so obvious! Takeru was Yamato's little brother! Their parents were divorced, and Yamato lived with their father and Takeru with their mother. (I know they're only half-siblings in the series, but this is MY fic!) Yamato froze too. But then he put on a smile and extended his had to her.

"Hi there, Yamato's the name. And you are?" Mimi stared at him wide-eyed. Takeru looked a little worried. Maybe he thought that she was stunned by Yamato's looks. Of course she was! Every single time they met! But you get used to it, right?

"Mimi", she said and shook his head.

"Cute name. So, watchya doing with a lunkhead like my brother?" Takeru punched Yamato playfully on the arm but didn't look that angry.

"I almost ran over her for about an hour ago. I invited her here for a cup of tea as an apology", he said, repeating the explanation he had told his mother. Their mother.

"Aw, smooth man! Please excuse my catastrophe for a little brother, he can't stop bumping into pretty girls." Mimi's head wouldn't stop spinning. Why was Yamato acting like this, and not telling his brother who she was? Why didn't she say anything?

"Please excuse my Don Juan for a big brother, he can't stop flirting with every pretty girl he sees", Takeru muttered, but then blushed when he realized what he had said. Luckily his mother called on him, telling him he had a phone call. He excused himself and left the kitchen hastily. Mimi stood up quickly and opened her mouth to ask Yamato what the hell he was up to but once again she was interrupted. This time by his lips pressed against hers. When the kiss ended she was panting slightly.

"What… What is this all about", she finally asked, making sure that Takeru wasn't on his way back.

Yamato's POV

He shrugged with a wide grin.

"I'm just playing around with my brother. I promise you, I'll tell him soon. Just not right now." Mimi furrowed her eyebrows. He could tell that she still didn't quite understand what he was up to. She didn't know that Takeru and Yamato loved to play tricks on each other. Takeru came back into the kitchen only to tell Yamato that he needed to talk to him.

"I'm sorry about this, it'll just be a minute I promise", he told Mimi and then dragged Yamato out of the kitchen.

"So, what is it about", Yamato asked his little brother with a small smile.

"She's the one", Takeru whispered and nodded towards the question. "She's the girl I've been talking about!" Yamato's heart stopped.

"Wh-what did you say?"

"You know, the girl I was talking about? You gave me some advice about how to make contact with her, remember? Well, you see, I just bumped into her by accident! It has to be fate!" Yamato couldn't say anything, utter even the smallest word. What was he supposed to do now? Mimi and I are a couple, but Takeru don't know that. And by the looks of Takeru he really likes Mimi. Even though he knew that Mimi loved him and no one else and that he really didn't want to loose her, he also felt that he just couldn't break the heart of his younger brother.

"Oh", was the only thing he could say. Takeru didn't notice the terrified look on his brother's face; he just kept throwing glances towards the kitchen.

"She's so… So incredibly perfect! I think I'll ask her out today! It'll be great!" Yamato's heart hit the ground floor. What to do? What to do? Their mum called on Takeru again, which gave Yamato a little more time to think. He headed to the kitchen where Mimi sat and enjoyed her tea. She noticed his worried look almost immediately.

"What's the matter, Yamato", she asked and stood up again. "Is something wrong?" Yamato sighed and decided to tell her.

"Takeru likes you." Her eyes widened.

"What?"

"Yeah… And he still doesn't know you're my girlfriend. He doesn't even know that we knew each other until today."

"Oh, Yama", she whispered. "We have to tell him right away! We should have told him right from the start!" Yamato felt terribly guilty. They stood there in silence for a few seconds. Then Mimi's eyes suddenly widened and she gasped silently. "The wish", she whispered. Yamato looked up at her.

"What? What did you say?" Mimi didn't answer, but she was now digging through her purse. She pulled out a small bottle with a label that said "drink me".

"Uuh…"

"Don't ask", Mimi muttered and pulled off the cork with her teeth. She spat it out and then took a zip of the mysterious drink. Judging by the grimace she made it tasted like shit.

"What are you doing, what is that", he asked her but he didn't get any answer. Instead she wrapped an arm around his neck and pulled his face down to hers. She kissed him with such passion that he forgot about the bad taste. He felt as if he was in heaven. A noise behind him brought him back down to earth. Mimi let go of Yamato and looked past him at the person standing in the doorway. It was Takeru. He was staring wide-eyed at the two of them. Who could blame him? He thought that his brother and his future date had only met recently, right?

"I… How… Why… What the", he sputtered and threw out his arms. Yamato felt how his heart ached out of guilt. His poor brother. They were silent for a while, but then Takeru spoke again. "So you're that Mimi, huh", he said slowly. Mimi nodded and looked down at her feet. "See Yamato, this is what happens when you don't introduce your girlfriend to your brother", he then continued and, to their surprise, smiled.

"Uhm, yeah", Yamato said and scratched his neck. "I guess… Sorry bro." Takeru made a gesture with his hand, which indicated that it didn't really matter.

"It's all right. I'm just glad I didn't ask you out", he told Mimi and swetdropped. "That would have been embarrassing." Yamato didn't quite understand. A while ago he was totally head over heels for Mimi, but now she was only like another pretty girl for him. Nothing special. Mimi, on other hand, was smiling widely.

"Yeah", she said and nodded. "For Yamato that is, when I would leave him for his younger brother!" Takeru and Mimi started to laugh, but Yamato couldn't quite handle the situation. Everything just turned, just like that. Takeru was totally different. "Relax Yamato, I was only kidding", she said as she noticed his serious expression. He shook his head.

"I know, I know… It's just that… This is way too weird for me!" Mimi and Takeru chuckled and exchanged similar looks. They were teaming up! And somehow this didn't bother him. He knew that Takeru wouldn't try anything and that Mimi would stay faithful. He was just happy that his girlfriend and little brother got along so well.

"Poor baby, how about we head home and watch a movie or something", Mimi said and hooked arms with him.

"Yeah, you two love birds do that. I'll just stay here and mourn a little while longer", he said and winked at Mimi. Mimi giggled and started to pull Yamato to the door.

"It was nice meeting you Takeru", she said and gave him a quick hug.

"Nice meeting you too Mimi, and I'll expect you to come here and have tea more often from now on!"

"Of course I will! Sometimes I might even bring Yamato with me", Mimi said and patted Yamato on the head which made the both Mimi and Takeru laugh. Yamato rolled his eyes as and answer and caught her hand.

"Very funny you guys", he said and tried to sound angry. It didn't work that well, cause he started to laugh himself.

When they finally got out of Takeru's apartment they started the short journey towards Mimi's house.

Mimi's POV

With her hand in his they walked down the streets of Odaiba. The sun was starting to set, and their part of the town was starting to calm down.

"Say, you don't mind telling what was in that little bottle of yours, do you", Yamato asked suddenly and glanced down at her. Mimi looked up and smiled widely with twinkling eyes.

"Well, I don't know actually. But I sure do hope it works as well on other guys as it did on Takeru." Yamato looked completely clueless. "The fortuneteller gave it to me", Mimi added.

"What, that old lady that told you loads of horse crap a few weeks ago?" Mimi swetdropped. He had remembered her exact words.

"Yeah, that's the one. She caught me when I was shopping, and gave it to me. She said it was the answer to my prayers." Mimi fished up the bottle from her pocket. She had only drunk about half of it. Maybe it only worked if she drank it all? Maybe it didn't work at all? Maybe it was poisonous? She shrugged. She'll soon find out.

"Oh no", Yamato suddenly said and slapped his forehead. "Look who's coming this way." Mimi turned her gaze to where he was looking and felt her heart do a loop. Now was the perfect chance to test the old hag's magical potion. Tomoken and his friends soon noticed the couple.

"Mimi! Yamato! Exactly the ones we've been looking for", Tomoken said and beamed at them. Oh no, it didn't work, she thought for herself.

"Oh really? Why?" Tomoken glanced over at the other guys, and suddenly they all looked really ashamed.

"Well… We all know that we have been acting like complete assholes…", Taichi started.

"Especially towards you, Yamato", Daisuke added. They all nodded to show that they agreed.

"But we also have been acting like complete idiots towards you Mimi", Tomoken continued. Mimi's eyes almost plopped out of their sockets.

"What?", she said, not believing what she was hearing.

"Yeah, we've been fighting over you like some kind of price", one of the guys on the basketball team said.

"We didn't even care about how you felt. It was as if we didn't understand the word 'no'". Taichi said

"We just want you to accept our apologies", Rinu said, and looked especially ashamed.

"Both of you", Tomoken filled in, and then reached out his hand to Yamato. "We totally understand if you wont accept our apology, but all we can say is that we are sorry for our actions."

"And that we'll never do it again. We'll leave you two alone from now on", Daisuke added. Tomoken nodded, but seemed irritated at the others because the interrupted him all the time. Yamato was staring at them calmly while Mimi was about to faint. Then Yamato slowly extended his hand and shook Tomoken's.

"Apology accepted", he said but didn't return the smile. The other guys seemed relieved, but then all eyes turned towards Mimi. She was still staring out into space with wide eyes, not even breathing. Yamato nudged her with his elbow, which made her wake up from her dream world.

"OH! Oh! Oh, of course I forgive you guys! I'm just so happy that you finally came to your senses", she said and shook all of their hands. When she shook Taichi's she saw something in his eyes. He looked so sad. She realized that even if most of the guys were affected by her wish not all of them were. Taichi must have been of the ones who truly felt for her. The wishing spell only made him loose his senses about it all.

"Well, I guess we'll see you guys on Monday then", Tomoken said and then signed to his friends that it was time for their departure. Mimi watched them leave and couldn't help but feel bad for Taichi. The thoughts of Taichi then brought her to Yamato. The spell was broken. Did he still love her?

"Y-Yama", she stuttered and turned to him in a quick movement. He raised his eyebrows and tilted his head to the side.

"Yes, Mimi?" Mimi felt how her heart was shaking out of fear. What if this was it? What if she would loose him forever?

"I was thinking… The spell is broken. I'm just a normal girl now and-"

"Ah, but you see, that's where you're wrong", he said and smiled. He snuck his arms around her waist and pulled her towards him. "You're not a normal girl. You're the sweetest, prettiest, funniest most interesting and fabulous girl in the world! And even if the spell is broken, my love for you isn't. I still love you more than you'll ever imagine." Then he kissed her. Her knees turned week, and she was held up entirely by his arms. She didn't want the kiss to ever end. She wanted them to be like that forever, lost in each other's lips. United like one person. Totally unaware of the world around them. But the kiss did end. And when it did, she got lost in his deep blue eyes. "I love you Mimi", he whispered and kissed her softly.

"I love you too", she answered and returned the kiss. Then they let go of each other and continued their way to Mimi's house. She was clasping his arm, keeping him close to her and intended to never let him go. It was starting to get really dark outside, but for once she wasn't afraid. The moon was full and all the stars were out. She closed her eyes for a while, trusting Yamato to lead her home. But when she opened them for just a few seconds her gaze caught a small light moving over the sky.

"A falling star", Yamato whispered and stopped. "Are you going to wish for anything?" Mimi first turned down the offer, thinking that she didn't want it to end like the last time. But then she felt Yamato's arm sneaking around her shoulders and she got another idea.

"Maybe I will", she said secretively and smiled before closing her eyes again. "Maybe I will."

The End

Nyahahahahahaa!!!

It's finished! It's actually finished! *Scary music and lightning* I'm so proud! ;_;

It took me quite a while, but now it's over. I'm glad I've got that off my conscience.^^

I know it isn't the best of endings, and it's slightly rushed but what the heck. Accept it, cause I doubt I'll write anymore on this fic ever! (Okay, maybe, but only to rewrite it)

Boy, it was thiiis close I turned this into a Takemi… Talk about inner struggle, eh? ^_^;; Oh, just to let you know, I've got tons of ideas for new fics! I'm in writing mode again. (After being in lazy assing-writers blocking-around goofing mode for several months) I've written down all of the ideas, and last time I counted them they were around thirty or so… I really doubt I'll write all of them, but we'll see!^^

Until then! Bah bai!./pre
