::Chapter 18- Something Special::
"Sora dear!" A voice called to the red head who was currently passed out on a bed in the guestroom.
"Mmm... Five more minutes, Tai..." Sora moaned pulling the comforter up to her chin and falling back asleep.
"Sora honey, it's time to wake up! We must go wedding shopping!"
Sora's eyes shot open and she sat straight up in the bed. She glanced over and saw not Tai, but Mrs. Ishida standing next to the bed. She became confused because she remembered nothing from the previous night. 'How much did I drink last night?' Sora wondered as she grabbed her head.
"Rough night?" Nancy asked with a smile on her face but also a look of concern.
"If I could remember, I would tell you, but I can't, so I won't," Sora replied shaking her head of the splitting head ache, "God, my head hurts..."
"Well, take some aspirin because we need to get going!"
"Going? Going where?"
"We're going wedding shopping today! Now get up and make yourself look beautiful."
"But I- uh... wedding shopping?"
"The wedding has to be before Yamato turns 21 or Tk gets it all sweetie."
"Before he turns... but that only leaves like... two months to plan everything. Oh my God! Two months!?"
"Yes, dear, two months! That's why we must start preparing now! We're leaving in an hour. Just come downstairs when you're ready."
Nancy left the room and shut the door behind her.
"Yeah, if I can find my way to the stairs..." Sora said stretching her legs and getting off the bed, "Now to find my hubby..."
Sora lightly walked across the room and poked her head out of the door. She saw no one and began to walk down the long hallway. They hallway was full of many pictures, ones of people Sora didn't even begin to recognize. 'Family' Sora figured as she finally found Matt's room.
"Awe... he's asleep..." Sora said when she slowly opened his door.
Sora smirked and walked over to Matt's bed trying not to wake him. He had an arm hanging off the bed and his hair was all messed up. 'He's so adorable when he sleeps...' Sora thought.
Sora's eyes looked left and then right across the room. She smirked again and jumped on top of him.
"WAKE UP, WAKE UP!" She shouted when she jumped on him.
"WHAT!?" Matt shouted as he sat up and nervously looked around the room expecting a fire or something.
"You are too cute!" Sora laughed.
"Ugh... Sor..." Matt sighed and fell back on the bed.
Sora bent forward and kissed him.
"My head is killing me..." Matt said, "What happened last night? How much did we drink?"
"I don't remember. I thought you would," Sora replied laying down on top of him.
"Naw... I guess we drank too much."
"Yeah, we did."
The two laid there in a comfortable silence. Sora closed her eyes and so did Matt.
"I'm so tired..." Matt sighed not wanting to ever get out of bed.
"Me too... but your mom's taking me wedding shopping so I have to get up and get ready."
"Wedding shopping, huh? Sound like..." Matt yawned, "fun."
The next thing they knew, the both of them were dead asleep in each other's arms.
::45 minutes later::
"What in the world is taking that girl so long?" Nancy wondered as she glanced at a clock that sat on the mantle above the living room fire place.
"Perhaps she's in the shower, dear," Malcolm suggested reading the morning newspaper.
"Would you like to go find out? We have to get back here before five or I won't have enough time to get ready for the party."
"Of course, darling. Anything for you..." Malcolm said rolling his eyes and getting up from the couch to go find Sora.
Malcolm walked up the stairs and decided to check Sora's room first. He didn't find her there so he figured the only other placed she would be was with Yamato.
"They better not be doing what I think they're doing," Malcolm said to himself as she slowly opened his son's bedroom door.
Sora and Matt were laying on Matt's bed fast asleep. Matt was on his back with his arm around Sora and Sora had fallen next to him with her head on his chest and an arm on his stomach. Malcolm smiled at the two and didn't have the heart to wake her up and interrupt their moment together. He went back downstairs.
"Did you find her?" Nancy wondered when she saw her husband walk back downstairs.
"Yes I did," Malcolm replied as he sat on the couch and opened his newspaper again.
Nancy gave him a strange look, "And did you tell her to hurry up?"
"Nope."
"Why not!?"
"She and Matt are asleep together and I didn't feel the need to wake them up."
"You may not feel the need but I do."
"Nancy let them be. They were out late last night. Just let them sleep for a while."
"We HAVE to go wedding shopping, Malcolm! The wedding is drawing closer and closer and we need to start preparing now before it's too late!"
"What about today is so important?"
"Well, nothing but-"
"Exactly. One more day isn't going to hurt anyone."
Nancy pouted in defeat, "Fine, they can sleep. But we WILL go shopping tomorrow."
"Good."
::Upstairs::
Matt and Sora continued sleeping while Tk roamed around the house. He was looking for his favorite basketball jersey that had been misplaced by one of the maids. He couldn't find it in his room so he decided that Matt's room was where it would most likely be.
When Tk found himself standing in front of Matt's room he knocked on the door but there was no reply from the inside. 'He must've gone wedding shopping with mom and Sora' Tk thought as he turned the handle and let himself in. 'Oh shit! He is here!' Tk thought seeing his brother asleep on the bed next to Sora. 'I guess the shopping plans were cancelled. Matt hates it when I come in his room without him knowing. I'll just quietly sneak in, look for my jersey, and sneak back out. Piece of cake!'
Tk hummed to himself and slowly tip-toed over to Matt's dresser. He quickly searched through it but didn't find the jersey so he decided to check the closet next. After much rummaging, he found the jersey. 'Yes! Now it's time to get out of Matt's-'
::Ring, Ring, Ring::
'What the hell is that!?' Tk wondered. He then saw Matt's eyes open. 'Shit!' Tk thought and dashed back into the closet.
Matt's blue eyes fluttered open as he looked around the room. He grabbed the phone sitting on the night stand and answered it.
"Yeah?" He said still half asleep.
"My man!" The voice on the other end of the phone cheerfully rang.
Matt sighed, "Hey Chris."
"Hey, hey! What are you doing?"
"Sora and I are, uh, were, sleeping."
"Oh... sleeping, sleeping or SLEEPING?"
"Sleeping, sleeping, Chris. We don't have sex 24/7 like you."
"All right, all right. We all had a long night last night I guess."
"Uh, yeah. You could say that."
"So what are your plans for today?"
"I don't know. Why?"
"Ah, just wondering. Well, I guess I'll let you and the "wife-to-be" get back to sleeping. Oh, and by the way... the guys and I are going to be stopping by later tonight for the party your parents are throwing. Bye!"
"Chris wait I-"
::Click::
"Damn it, Chris," Matt said as he hung up the phone and flung it back onto the night stand. He cuddled back up with Sora and closed his eyes.
"Thank God!" Tk whispered to himself as he slowly walked out of the closet and headed for the exit. He was almost out of the room when:
"Tk, I'm going to kick your ass for being in my room," Matt said out of no where scaring the shit out of Tk.
"Okay..." Tk said slumping his shoulders and leaving the room.
::
Sora sat on the bed in the guestroom she was currently occupying wit her legs crossed her hand resting under her chin. She sat there staring at a dress that was neatly laid over a chair in the corner of the room. There was then a light knock at the door.
"Come in!" Sora said as she saw Matt pop his head in the door.
"You ready?" Matt asked entering the room and shutting the door behind him.
Sora took a good look at him and was in awe. Matt stood tall and poised like she'd never seen before. He wore a nice black tuxedo with a white collared shirt underneath and a nice black tie. He also had white gloves on his hands and he carried himself so well. Sora had never seen him like this before. She really liked it.
"Is something wrong?" Matt asked with a smile when he noticed that Sora was gawking at him and practically drooling all over the floor.
"What?" Sora said snapping back, "Oh, no, no nothing's wrong. You just look... great."
"Ah, I guess. You need to get used to it though. This is the downside of being royal. I hate having to play dress-up for my parents friends."
"You really look amazing. I think we need to play dress-up more often."
"Well thanks, belle. Why haven't you put on your dress yet? Do you not like it?"
"No, it's not that. I love the dress it's just... I've never been in this situation before and it's kind of scaring being a first timer ya know? The sooner I put on that dress, the sooner I have to make an appearance downstairs."
"You're the future queen of these people, baby. I know it's kind of intimidating at first but I promise you will get used to it. It's so much easier after the first time."
Matt walked over to Sora and put his hands on her shoulders.
"You'll be fine, I promise," Matt whispered just before kissing her forehead and leaving the room.
Sora inhaled deeply.
"It's now or never," She said as she walked to the chair and put on the dress.
::
"What's taking her so long?" Tk asked as he leaned over and whispered to his brother.
"Give her a break. She's nervous," Matt replied.
"She's an ex-model. I'm sure making an appearance in front of hundred's of people isn't that big of a deal. Everyone's waiting for her."
"She'll be here."
The crowd then turned silent when Sora appeared at the top of the stairs. Matt could have sworn that his jaw dropped to the floor when he saw her standing before them all. It was as though a light of radiance shown around the beautiful red head. He saw her ruby eyes sparkle as she began to come down the stairs.
"Not too fast, Sora," Sora told herself as she slowly walked down the stairs. Her left hand trailed the railing as she neared the bottom.
"She's beautiful!" Nancy said as her future daughter-in-law came down the stairs catching the attention of everyone in the room.
"Gorgeous," Malcolm said admiring her.
The dress Sora wore fit her figure perfectly. It was a beautiful baby blue color and was tight on top and large on the bottom. She finally reached the bottom of the stairs. Matt bowed and took her hand. She curtsied back and smiled. Everyone went back to minding their own business and left the couple to each other.
"You are so beautiful," Matt said not taking his eyes off of her.
"Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself, Prince Charming," Sora replied lacing her fingers through his.
Music played through the house as Matt and Sora walked into the ballroom. Sora saw a familiar face.
"Sora! Over here!" Angel called from across the room. She was also dressed nicely.
"Go," Matt said giving her a push, "I'm going to go talk to Chris and Jason."
Sora walked to Angel and the two girls gave each other a hug.
"You look so gorgeous!" Angel said twirling Sora around to see the full beauty of Sora's dress.
"Thank you! You look amazing too!" Sora said, "Matt didn't tell me you guys were coming over tonight."
"We always come around when Matt's parents throw these big dress-up parties! It gives me an excuse to drink some expensive champagne and spend money on clothes."
"I guess that's as good an excuse as any! I got my dress free. Mrs. Ishida picked it out for me."
"Really? You're so lucky! I wish I could get free stuff every once in a while! I guess that's what you get when you're rich and famous though. Everyone wants you to have their stuff."
"Yeah, I guess."
"Did you notice how everyone got dead silent when you walked into the room? That was seriously amazing and kind of scary. You looked like an angel standing up there, didn't she Jessica?"
A girl with light brown curly hair and baby blue eyes joined the conversation.
"You were gorgeous. Matt's jaw dropped when he saw you, it was rather funny if I do say so myself. I've never seen him look at a girl that way he looks at you. He's really in love with you," Jessica said.
"It's true. I've known Matt for years and I've also known all the girls he's dated. I've seriously never seen him act that way around anyone before. You truly are something special," Angel said with one of her dazzling smiles.
Sora then felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and met a pair of blue eyes.
"Sorry to interrupt ladies, but I would like to ask Sora to dance," Matt said as he held out his hand.
"You two have fun!" Angel said giving Sora a push.
Matt and Sora bowed to each other. Matt then took her hand and walked her out to the middle of the ballroom dance floor. Everyone's attention turned to them as they began to dance. Sora heard comments such as "She's so gorgeous" and "Yamato finally found the girl he's been searching for" from people in the crowd. 'Great, now they're all focused on us' Sora thought as Matt led her in a dance. He put one hand on her waist and the other in her hand. She returned the gesture by placing her hand in his and her other hand around his neck. Suddenly everyone in the room disappeared and it felt as though the two were alone. Sora felt as though they were truly in heaven.
