"A Masked Party"
Tai parked his car about 200 feet away from a coffee shop, where Kari was sitting at one of the tables outside the shop. She was waiting for her blind date. Tai could sort of see Kari but not very well. He looked behind his seat, looking for his binoculars. After about 5 minutes later he found them, when he turned back around he yelled in surprised. "AHHH!!!" Mimi's face was right in front of his window. Mimi went to the other side of the car, opened the door and got in the car. "You scared the shit out of me!"
"Good! You broke your promise! You promised me that you wouldn't ruin their date!" Mimi yelled at Tai.
"I'm not going to ruin their date. I'm just going to supervise it from afar. If TK ever places a finger on my sister, then I will ruin their date by killing him." Tai said.
Mimi gave him a look. "I don't remember you being this protective of Kari when you set her up on a date with that sleazy car repairman of yours. You only did that so he would put those speakers in your car for free."
"At least his brother wasn't on the CIA's most wanted list!" Tai retorted.
"I wouldn't have set the two up together if I didn't think they would have chemistry together. Besides, TK is a really nice kid."
"Yeah right, he still hasn't shown up yet." Tai said as he looked through his binoculars.
"Give me those." Mimi took the binoculars out of Tai's hands and looked for herself.
"Why didn't you bring yours?" Tai asked.
"Hmmm..." Mimi pretended to think. "Cause on the last time we went on a stakeout you threw mine in to traffic, having it run over by a semi- truck?"
"I don't remember that happening..."
"We were both grabbing it and then I let go and it went out of your window into the street where a semi-truck ran over it, smashing it into thousands of pieces. Still don't remember it?" Tai shook his head no. "Here's a reenactment." Mimi threw the binoculars out of the window, where a semi-truck smashed it into pieces.
"Hey! Now how are we going to spy on Kari?"
"Guess we can't." Mimi said smiling. Tai got out of the car. "Tai? Where are you going?" She saw that Tai opened the back trunk and got something out of it. Then he ran across the street and disappeared. "What are you going to do Kamiya?" Mimi asked herself. She took her binoculars out of her purse, which she bought them a couple of days ago, and looked at Kari. She saw that TK had shown up and was talking to Kari. It looked like him and Kari was really getting along. Five minutes later the waiter showed up. 'He looks strangely familiar,' Mimi thought. He had messy brown hair and had a strange looking long mustache. "Noooooo! Tai, you did not!"
But he did. He knocked one of the waiters out and stole his clothes. Then he put him in a closet and took his place. "Are you young people ready?" Tai asked in a french accent.
Kari eyed the waiter suspiciously. "Umm, yeah, we're ready. I'll have the chicken salad and a martini drink."
"Aren't you a little young to drink Miss?" Tai said in a disapproved voice.
"I'm 21, you can even look at my driver's license if you want."
"No, it's alright. And what would you like sir?" Tai asked TK.
"I would like to order the steak, well done." TK said, closing his menu.
"Excellent choice sir," Tai said. 'You're going to wonder why your steak tastes funny...' he thought.
"I will be back with your food shortly," Tai said as he collected the menus. He walked into the restaurant and gave the order to the cooks. Someone grabbed him by his ear. "Owww!" He turned his head and saw who was holding onto his ear. "H-hi Mimi. What's wrong?"
"You! Your going to get back in your clothes and we will leave here without Kari seeing us. Understand?" Mimi asked.
"Okay okay! Just let go! Please! You're ripping my ear off!" Tai whined. Mimi let go and Tai quickly covered his ears and walked away.
Mimi stood against the wall, waiting for Tai to change back into his clothes. "Mimi? I didn't expect to see you here," said a man as he kissed her hand.
"Hi Ken, I didn't expect to see you either. Did you just eat lunch?"
"Yes I did. I'm glad I ran into you, I have something to ask you. There's this ball tonight, I was wondering if you would like to go, as my date." Mimi had no idea what to say. She knew Matt and TK disliked him and would disapprove of her going out with him. But this was an opportunity to get more information on Ken and Matt. "If you have other plans, I understand."
"Oh no! I would love to go with you. Pick me up at 7?" Mimi smiled.
"It's a date," Ken smiled back. He was about to leave but then turned around. "Oh, I forgot to mention, you wear a mask at the party." Ken said.
"Sounds like fun! See you at 7!" Mimi shouted as Ken left.
"Oh no you won't." Tai said as he walked up behind Mimi.
Mimi spun around. "Excuse me? You do not tell me what to do. Besides, why shouldn't I go?"
"This man is dangerous Meems. He is capable of anything, he's worse than Matt! Speaking of Matt, how are you going to tell him that you are going to the ball with that creep?"
"Easy, I won't tell him. I'll tell him that I have to go visit my mom, who lives just a couple of miles away."
"Are you sure you really want to go?"
"Yes. And don't worry, I'm going to be fine. We better leave before Kari and TK sees us." Mimi dragged Tai through the back door and they got back into the car.
~6:30~
"Mimi! You're taking forever!" Tai sat on her bed, waiting for Mimi to come out of the bathroom. He had been sitting there for about 20 minutes. "If you don't come out in 1 minute, I'll put on a dress and take your place!"
"Alright alright! I'm coming out." Mimi opened the door and stepped out. She wore a light pink backless satin gown, it was held by two thin straps and the dress part was puffy but not too puffy. Tai's jaw dropped opened. "How do I look?" Mimi twirled around.
"...You look...hideous..." Tai stammered.
Mimi playfully punched him on the arm. "And that would explain why your mouth is opened?"
"I have a really bad feeling about this. Something is going to go wrong." Tai said in a worry tone.
"How come you didn't have a bad feeling when you ate those bad clams last week?" Mimi laughed. "I have a tracking sensor in my necklace, so even if I do get kidnapped at least you will know where I am." The doorbell rung. "That must be Ken. I'll see you when I get back okay?" She gave Tai a kiss on the cheek. "Bye!" Mimi exited the room.
"Bye..." Tai said quietly.
Mimi went down the stairs, carefully not tripping over her dress. She opened the door and Ken stood there in a black tuxedo with wearing a blue mask that went over his eyes. "Wow, you took my breath away Miss Tachikawa."
"Aww, that is so sweet of you to say Ken." Mimi blushed.
"Do you have your mask?" Ken asked. Mimi held her mask, which matched her dress, up. "Then we are all set!" He held out his arm and Mimi took it. "Off to the ball!" They walked out of the house and got into Ken's limo. And they were off.
~At The Ball~
Mimi had never been to a place like this before. Everyone was wearing a beautiful gown and it seemed like everyone who was there was high-class. Over in the corner there was an orchestra playing classical music. Many people were dancing and talking at the tables. Mimi felt out of place and wished Tai was with her. "You can put all the women here together and they still can't compare to your beauty." Ken smiled.
"You're one smooth gentleman Ichijouji." Mimi giggled.
"I'll be right back, I'm going to get us some drinks." Ken left and Mimi went to go sit at one of the tables.
As she was walking a man bumped into her. "Sorry Mee-aam..." Mimi eyed the man suspiciously. He had a black tuxedo on and wore a red mask. She could see that he had brown wild hair. The man tried to walk away quickly but Mimi took his hand and made him confront her. She went to go take off his mask but he held her wrist before she could. "Do you want our cover to be blown?"
"I can't believe you Tai!" Mimi whispered. "How did you get in?"
"I managed to convince this old lady to let me be her date."
She looked over to Ken and saw that he was making his way back to her. "You better get out of here, Ken is coming back!" She pushed Tai and when Ken came up to her she smiled sweetly.
He handed her a drink. "Are you having fun?"
"Yeah, having a blast!" Mimi said quickly.
"You seem flustered. Is something wrong?" Mimi shook her head no. "Oh, I just spotted someone that I need to talk to. Is it okay if I leave for just a moment?" Mimi nodded. "Okay, sorry to leave you again." Ken left again. After he was out of sight, Mimi went around looking for Tai.
She looked around and spotted him at the buffet, stacking food onto his plate. "I swear Taichi, someday you're going to get yourself killed...by me...." Mimi muttered to herself. She took a seat at one of the tables and rubbed her temples. A man took a seat next to her. She looked over and saw that he had the bluest eyes she had ever seen. He wore a dark blue mask, which Mimi thought went perfectly with his eyes. He had on a black tuxedo and his blonde hair was spiked. Mimi could tell that he was a very good looking man, even with the mask on.
"So, where's your date?" The man asked.
Mimi thought his voice sounded very familiar but she couldn't quite figure out from where. "Um...he's out in the crowd, talking to someone. Yours?"
"She couldn't make it. Her mother got sick and she had to take a flight tonight." A few seconds went by quietly. "Would you like to dance with me?"
Mimi knew she should say no. "I'd love to." He took her hand and led her to the dance floor. They started to slow dance and Mimi got really close to him, not that she mind. She noticed a lot of women looking over at them, the word jealous was written all over their faces. It was weird, she felt safe being in his muscular arms. It felt as if she belonged there. She placed her head against his chest and closed her eyes, enjoying the moment. He stopped dancing and she wondered why since the music didn't stop. She opened her eyes and saw a not so happy Ken standing there.
Ken stared at the man coldly. "You're dancing with *my* date Ishida."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Something is about to go down! I want to say that Mimi didn't notice that it was Matt's eyes because every time she saw him, he wore sunglasses. So this was the first time she saw his eyes. This chapter is pretty long or at least I thought so. Thanks for reading and review if you want! Bye!
