Once Upon Fiesta

"Mimi, Somebody's here to see you!" Sora called from the family room.
"Who?" Mimi called back from her bedroom.
"Matt."
'Matt?' Mimi thought. She quickly fixed herself up and calmy, but nervously, made her way to the blue-eyed blonde. 'Why am I so nervous?'
"Hi Mimi. You look great." He said to her.
Mimi looked down to see that she had an elegant black dress on and her hair was tied into a simple bun.
"Ready for our date?" He asked holding out a hand.
"Um, yes?" Mimi took his hand. "Where are we going?"
"We are going somewhere special. It's a suprise."
"Is it Fiesta?" Mimi asked getting excited to dance.
"No, not Fiesta. But it's a suprise. If I told you it wouldn't be one." He gently kissed her cheek. Mimi flustered red.
Matt led Mimi to a street in LA that seemed to look exaclty like Paris and was very romantic. There were resturaunts and laterns and fireworks. Fancy tables and chairs were outside some of the resturaunts and the street seemed to glow in romance. There were a few people playing sweet songs on their accordians, casting a sweet sensation on other people with their dates.
"Oh, Matt, it's beautiful." Mimi said, almost breathless.
"Yeah, it is. But it can't compare to you." He said taking her hands in his own, his expression soft and gentle.
"Matt..."
Matt pulled her close to him so that their faces were less than an inch apart. He slowly moved closer to her lips, Mimi's mind was swirling and she felt weak.
"Matt..."
"Tootsie Roll! I know that's not Matt you're all over!" Shouted Bianca's voice.
Startled, Mimi jerked away from Matt.
"Hey Princess," he said to Bianca.
"Hey Charming, I thought you were gonna ditch me, for that- thing over there." She said with disgust. Her hand was moving behind Matt's neck.
"Me? Never. I'd never even touch that thing." Matt said looking back to speechless Mimi, His hands wrapping around Bianca's waist.
"Well, you were just a minute ago." Bianca inquired.
"I'm sorry, Princess. I really thought she was you. I don't know how I mixed such an ugly thing up with a goddess like you." Matt kissed Bianca on the lips.
Mimi was ready to pass out. With all the little strength in her body, she yelled, "NOOOOOOOO!!"
Mimi sat up quickly in bed, sweating, tears flooding her eyes. "Oh my god." She sobbed. "Oh my god."
"Mimi!! Are you okay!?" Sora practically flew in her room, her eyes wide with concerrn.
Mimi couldn't answer, she just shook her head "no". Her hands and pillows were covered in tears and her sobs made Sora feel terrible.
"Mimi, what's wrong?" Sora sat down to comfort her.
"Matt..." She could barely whisper between weak breaths.
"What?"
"Matt... it was just a dream..." she wispered, still very shaky. "It was just a dream... what's it mean... just a dream..."
"Mimi," Sora said, knowing she had a terrible dream of Matt. She hugged her. "It will be alright."
9:15
"Ya, that would be really great to model. I love this texture, where did you get this from? What is it?" said a slim woman with brown hair tied in a chinese bun. "Mimi, what is this?" she repeated.
Mimi could only think of Matt, and she wasn't hearing a single word Iquoa was saying.
"Mimi? Earth to Mimi..." the model waved a hand across Mimi's face.
"AHhh!!"
"Mimi, what is that?"
"Where is Matt?!" Mimi said looking around excitedly.
Iquoa just shook her head. "Mimi, if you don't pay attention, I won't model for you anymore."
"No, no, don't do that, I'm sorry. I just have alot on my mind."
"ALOT?!" Sora popped up in the kitchen. "More like one thing is taking up alot of your head."
Sora recieved a quick grunt from Mimi.
"Look I'm sorry okay.. I just... how about we go to Olive Garden?"
"As long as its on you." said the 21 year old model.
"And I comming too," Sora said stuffing her face with soda and Pringles. "But you're paying."
"Um, excuse me?" Mimi raised a brow.
"It's settled then," Iquoa smiled.
"Ok, let's go. I'd bring your life savings with you, if I were you." Sora said heading for the door and nonchalantly tossing the empty Sprite can into the trashcan.
"But-"
"C'mon Meems, don't want to keep the waitors waiting!" Iquoa and Sora left the apartment and bolted down the stairs to Mimi's SUV.
"But..." Mimi protested to an empty, flung-open and left behind door.
From behind her, Mimi heard a whimper and a whine. Pepsi and Slushed look up to her with hopeful, willing eyes.
"Nooo, no, and NO! I am NOT taking you guys so don't even give me those eyes!" Her voice muffled off by a closing door and her footsetps stomping down the apartment stairs.
11:45
"So..." Iquoa started, after finally being seated. "What's his name... where's he from..."
"His name is Matt, I already told you. And he's been in LA for the longest." Mimi was annoyed that her two friends were shoving their way up her business.
"Where was he before?" Sora asked intently.
"In New York. He likes the Big City feeling..."
"Does he have any brothers?" Iquoa couldn't help herself from asking.
"Yes, but he's too young for you, hun. And besides he already has a girlfriend."
"HE DOES!?" Sora boomed receiving glares from other people and a few small children. "He's not worth your time, the little two-timer. When I get back to Fiesta, I'm gonna grab his nuts and tie them around a pole-"
"SORA. His BROTHER." Mimi clarified.
"Uh, huh." Sora said with the ' I feel stupid ' look on her face.
"So..." started Iquoa again. She had a sly smile. "Have ya.. gotten.. freaky with him?"
"Iquoa!! We are supposed to be talking about the fashions show!"
"Oh, right... sorry... I'm sory..." Iquoa looked down and with a sorry face, but looked up again sneakily. "So how big is it?"
"UGH!" Mimi could not beleive Iquoa. Sora just laughed.
"What? I'm just talking about his packs." Iquoa said untruthfully.
'You mean, package,' Sora thought giving a Iquoa a suspicous glare.
"Here's your chicken alfredo, chicken parmesian, and angel hair pasta." Said a deep feminine voice.
"ugh... thanks?" Sora said as the woman gave her a sneaky smile.
"What's with people today?" Mimi asked. "It seems as though everyone has the same thing on their minds."
"Oh, but I recall you having only one person on your mind." Sora mumbled a defense.
"Yeah, I did. And he still comes to mind very often. But what about you and Tai, hmm? I saw the way you two were moving on the dance floor. I MUST say, Sora Tackenouchi, I haven't seen that kinda dancing in a LONG time!" Mimi beat Sora speechless.
"Does, Tai have a brother?" Iquoa asked hopefully. "What's he like? Bodily ways I mean."
"IQUOA!" Sora and Mimi exploded.
"OK, okay... I'm sorry." Sora and Mimi eyed her. "Can you invite him over?"
"Iquoa," Sora said sternly as Mimi let out an exasperated sigh. "Of course, I'd invite him over. But if you're there, don't count on it."
"Hmph." Iquoa said to much disappointment.
"But anywayz, about the fashion show. It's going to be held at the heart of Las Angeles, so you know it's gonna be big. And the date- it's gonna be held two weeks from now, and I've already reserved a spot. The greatest fashion designers are all going to be here, so, Sora, we can't miss it." Mimi said taking on a cheif tone.
"Why do you have to point me out." Sora muttered, sipping her drink.
"OOoo. I can't wait." Iquoa beamed. "Just think of all the attention that will be rained upon me!"
"Yeah, for about fifteen seconds," Sora shot. "Another girl will happily take it all away from you once she's announced on the fashion run way."
"Aww..." Iquoa looked down as Sora laughed wickedly.
Mimi just shook her head. "Don't worry, Iquoa, I know exactly how you feel. But trust me, once you model my fashions, you will be the center of attention even when you're not on that runway."
'You mean center of a mental institute.' Sora laughed to herself.
"Say, Sora," Iquoa was always curious. "Why don't you ever considered modeling. You've got the bod for it."
"WHAT?!" Sora and Mimi cracked up.
"I couldn't model even if i tried! You think I can walk on 5 inch heels?"
"Besides, the way she eats, she could make a group photo alone!" Mimi was on the verge of tears.
Sora stopped laughing and glared at Mimi.
"Well excuse me, Cinderella, but I don't recall you ever going to the gym trying to work off the junk on your trunk and stop wearing Wonder Woman's Inflatable Training Bras!"
Iquoa's interest sparked.
"Ugh! I stopped when I was 5! And now I have what anygirl could want. And I am VERY content and happy with my body." Mimi spat back her defense.
Iquoa swore she saw sparks going off as Mimi and Sora glared a glare strong enough to suppress a rhino.
"Look, Princess, don't make me get-"
"Get what? Another-"
"Don't you dare intrupt me, you-"
"What's that you say, Sora Rackinflock Takenouchi!?"
"UGH! Don't EVER use my full name in pub-"
"LADIES!" Iquoa frightened them both. "Can we please be civilized? Two wrongs don't make a right."
"Should I make it three?" Mimi muttered under her breath.
For the rest of their lunch, Iquoa tried making them happy and bringing up nice conversations, but whenever Sora or Mimi said anything at all, it would end in insults and death glares.
1:00 PM
"Well that was safaric." Iquoa reveiwed their 'wonderful' lunch.
"Hmph." The two cheetahs growled. Mimi drove in silence and was forced to slam her Explorer's brakes by a lime-green Volk's Wagon Beetle swerving just before her.
"Who the hell-"
"Hey look who it is!" Iquoa cheered. "Bianca!"
"Oh, no." Mimi groaned. "Oh, no, no and NO!"
But it was too late. Bianca had rolled down her window to talk to Iquoa.
"Hey- um, I-Iquoa!" Bianca sweetly falsed out a greeting. "Is that Tootsie Roll behind you?" She said with contempt.
"You know her?" Mimi grimly asked Iquoa.
"Hi Mimi!" Mallory's voice called from the back seat.
"Uh, nice to see you, Bianca, but we have to get going. BYE." Mimi drove off ending the conversation.
"Um... am I missing something." Iquoa raised a brow.
"Yep." Sora said from the backseat smiling. Filing her nails, she said to Iquoa, "You should come to Fiesta. Sparks really fly there."
"I heard of that place." Iquoa recalled.
"It's not just that place." Mimi started. "It's filled with majic... or something very special and very uncommon."
"Yeah, everyone welcomes you. Even if you can't dance you still fit in."
"Is that where you met Matt and Tai?"
"Yep." Mimi and Sora were all smiles.
"Then by all means, TAKE ME!" Iquoa beamed.
"We could go Monday."
"But that's TWO days!!" Iquoa cried. "I need a man NOW!"
"Iquoa, Fiesta's not a hook up joint." Sora spoke. "It's not like you go there and get an automatic boyfriend or something."
"Shut up." Iquoa demanded. "Don't talk to me until you have something nice to say."
Sora just glared at Iquoa and continued to file her nails. "Sorry," She apoligized.
"'T's alright."
By the time Iquoa left and Mimi and Sora went home, there were 8 messages on Sora cell, all from Tai. She had called him back and they talked nonstop from 5 pm till 9 and were still talking. While they talked, Mimi sat on the couch with the dogs, realizing how much she wanted to be with Matt. If it weren't for Fiesta, she'd wouldn't have met him the way she did. Should it have been some other place, she'd probably mouth off to him, telling him to find some brainless ditz to pick up. Even if that's not what he intended to do. Finally, around 11:00, Mimi's cell rang. It was Matt.
"Hello...?" Mimi asked playfully.
"Hey, babe." came the strong and husky voice of Matt.
"Hi, what have you been up to?"
"Just got off work early today. The place was a mess. Two bozos came in claiming they were the FBI and pretended to evacuate the club for there being a bomb. Roana went berzerk."
Mimi laughed. "Oh, I wish I was there to see that."
"So what's up with you?" He asked.
"Nothin much. Sora's been talking to Tai for six hours straight. So I'm here with the dogs watching Honey for the third time today."
"Ha ha. You remind me of her."
Mimi smiled. "How?"
"Well, ya know." he explained. "You're cool, smart, and hot... a great dancer who can do anyrhing."
"You really mean that?"
"Of course."
'Wow,' Mimi thought.
Pepsi looked up from beside her knowing something had happened, and she wanted it to end so Mimi could continue messaging her belly. "ARF!"
Mimi and Slush jumped.
"What was that?"
"Oh, that's Pepsi. She's jealous now."
Matt laughed. "Well, give Pepsi my apologies, but I gotta hit the sack. Tai wants me to see this 'extraordinary place'."
"What extraordinary place?" Mimi raised an eyebrow.
"Some place near the coast. He says it'll take all day so I should be well and rested."
"I see."
There was silence and another jolting bark.
"Pepsi, shut up." Mimi glowered. "Well, I don't want to keep you up and have you rusty tomorrow." Mimi yawned.
Matt chuckled. "Sounds like you're tired too."
"Alittle."
"Goodnight then. I'll call you tomorow."
"Night." They hung up. 'Sleep tight' she thought.
Mimi laid down on the couch. With heavy eyes she looked at the big glowing screen of the TV and fell asleep.
So did you like that? Hope that was good enough to keep you all interested. Just if you were wondering, Iquoa's name was taken from my mother's middle name, Iquo. I love that name, but anywho, do reveiw! I stayed up till 1:02 am writing this, and my back it killing me. But I have never been happier. So see ya till the next chapter. -CraziSupaStar :: Maya
