Goggles: Hiya! Wow, I've already gotten so many awesome reviews! (starts crying) You guys just make me so happy!!! You know what else makes me happy? Vol. 3 of Negima! is coming out in a week!..Or when I post this, it will probably already be out. Haha...not really funny but...Hey! I just noticed something! Kartz Kazuki, Mister...er..Miss...Flamer didn't flame! O.O Is it the end of the world?
Book Of The Week
'You Don't Know Me' By David Klass, is the newest book I have started reading, granted I've only just begun it. So far, it's pretty interesting and well, I'm hoping that it'll keep me entertained the whole way through.
Quote:
' You don't know me at all. You don't know the first thing about me. You don't know where I'm writing this from. You don't know what I look like. You have no power over me. What do you think I look like? Skinny? Freckles? Wire-rimmed glasses over brown eyes? No, I don't think so. Better look again. Deeper. It's like a kaleidoscope, isn't it? One minute I'm short, the next minute tall, one minute I'm geeky, one minute studly, my shape constantly changes, and the only thing that stays constant is my brown eyes. Watching you. That's right, I'm watching you right now...'
The Reviewers' Room
Mysterious Bearer of Life- Your names Bob? (blinks) Well, that's cool! I'm really grateful that you said that all my fanfics are detailed. I feel like such a failure when I look at my other previous works..but I'm glad this fanfic is doing great! Okay, I now know you're name is Mi-chan!!!!!!!
DarkMetalAngel of Destruction- Yes, well, as much pleasure as it would bring me to kill Yamato, I don't think fans of his will like me all that much afterwards...hehe..Right, you never answered my question. Where did you put the taikari fanfic????
Nuxols- Sowwy! I made such a stupid mistake.. (hits myself on the head) Thanks for pointing out what you really meant.
amzy- O.O Your stomach hurts? Oh, no!!!! Call 911! WHAT'S THE NUMBER FOR 911?!..Oh...I apologise for making your tummy ache! Yes, I certainly hope you'll support michi now, too! Longer chapter? O.O Longer? Er..I'll try....
blondie121147- Yes, Tai's so cute..with his goggles, foot-high hair, goofy grin..(sighs) I have O.T.L.D. as you may or may not have noticed. What was that? What's O.T.L.D.? It's Obsessive Tai Lover Disorder, I'm afraid there's no cure...then again, who does want to be cured of something like this? The website to see if you, yes I mean you, have O.T.L.D.
Good luck and may the force be with you!...Wrong movie, sorry!
Crescent-Wish-Forever- Yeah, well..she has to be sort of mental, in a sense, to choose Tai over Matt..I mean Tai's adorable, brave, sweet (continues to list all the good things about Tai) Thanks for your support!
Vigatus- Yeah, well, I know it wasn't the best for the secret to have leaked out so soon but I really don't like writing/reading long faanfics, so I'm hoping to end this before the span of...er...8 chapters? So, when are you going to update Fun At the Beach?
starr-lover- Yeah, I'll try and update every weekend. As long as the homework doesn't pile up, I'll have time to work on my fanfics. Heh, well, I at least tried to plan it out a little, I always dream out the events of my fanfics but by the time morning comes, I forget the ideas I had! So, the part where Tai finds out, it just sort of connected with whatever had happened previously.
Iwana-Aiel- Well, you have to admit that it's true! Yes, I'm so glad that you finally updated, I was starting to wonder if you would ever, but the chapter turned out better than I could have hoped for! You like the title, huh? Thanks!
x1nfernal- Why, thank you! And yes, I was CMangaFan before I changed my pen name to Goggles..hehe....don't ask.
blitzballkat- You thought so? Well, thanks! Took a little bit more brain power to think it up, but I'm glad I spent the extra effort!
sorato4ever- Not a big fan of taiora, huh? Well, don't worry it'll slowly move onto the other couples later on.
Aylen-BrownEyez- Wow! Your review really touched me...(starts crying) Thank you..soo...much!
-Now leaving The Reviewers' Room-
Goggles: Anyways, this chapter is dedicated to a number of my friends!
Ai-chan, I'm sorry for calling you Ai-chan though it's a very nice name!
Angel,...HALLO!
Mimi-oko, I hope you're feeling much better!
Maggie, DON'T TOUCH MY MANGA!!!!! STOP KICKING IT!!! NO POKING!!! YOU IRRITATE ME YET STILL I'M GOING TO DEDICATE THIS CHAPTER TO YOU! Oh, yeah, and even though it may not seem like it sometimes, I still think you're a great friend. And I just wish that...YOU WOULD STOP KICKING ME!!!!!!!
Casey, Ooh....you should read more fanfics!
And other people that I forgot about...SOWWY!
-Entering chapter 4 of CrossDress To Impress-
"WAKE UP!!!" Matt hollered through the door, looking at his watch impatiently. "I wanna go out for some breakfast. Hello? Tai, I said 'breakfast,' you know, food? You're not coming out are you?" Taking out a spare key he had, he proceeded to open the door.
Upon walking in, he stared at the couple sleeping there.... and fainted.
Rolling away from the still-resting Tai, Mimi rubbed her eyes, staring blankly at Matt till she finally registered what just happened.
"Uhh...Tai? We have a problem...."
-
"YOU TWO WERE SLEEPING TOGETHER!!!!!!" Matt yelled, as soon as he regained conciousness.
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO SCREAM IT OUT LOUD!!!!" Tai replied back.
"YOU'RE SCREAMING TOO!" Mimi joined in.
"Okay, let's discuss this," Matt said, staring at the two of them, " First....Tai, are you gay?"
"WHAT?!" Tai cried out in rage. "As you should know, Jason is really a g-"
"A great person!!!!" Mimi cut in, quickly putting a hand over hs mouth to keep him from spewing the truth.
Blinking, Matt nodded slowly. "I should have known before that you liked guys Tai...I mean...you weren't normal...and.."
"MRPHHH?!" Tai struggled against Mimi, trying to lunge at Matt.
"I really don't think he's gay, Matt!" Mimi said, elbowing Tai in the stomach.
"But..you two were in the same bed! You were cuddling up to eachother!"
"Well you see..." And with that, Mimi launched into an explanation of some random excuse, throwing in gibberish as well and by the end of her big speech, Matt was even more confused.
"I didn't get half of what you just said so...I'll just..drop it for now?" Matt asked, cocking his head to the side.
"Good!" Mimi said sighing in relief and finally letting go of Tai.
Glaring at Matt, he stalked over to him and gave a punch sending him back out into the hall. "Never call me gay again!!!" And with that, Tai closed the door, smiling at a job well done.
"...You're not gay?" Mimi asked curiously.
Seeing him turn purple, she took that as a no.
-
"Okay, Jason, since you're new here you get a grace period, where it really doesn't matter if you're late or not to your classes, but only for a few days. Saturdays are a free day, Wednesday is half a day and if you want to take extra classes, such as photography, it'll be Sunday afternoon." Tai said knowingly, he had promised to help Mimi get settled into her new school. "You lucked out since today's Saturday but tomorrow's the real deal. What's your first class?"
"Hmm? Let me check." Taking out a crumpled piece of paper from her backpack, she tossed it to Tai....only to have it float a few feet before dropping onto the ground. Sweatdropping, Mimi went to pick it up. Reaching for it at the same time as Tai, her hand brushed against his, making her blush.
"Ahh...." Tai let out, before picking it up. "Okay, you have music first!!!" He cried out in an attempt to remove the embarassing situation out of their minds.
"Right...Tai, can I ask you a question?"
"Shoot." He said, his eyes scanning the paper.
"Well, I was wondering if you had a girlfriend?"
"WHAT?!"
"If you-" Mimi started to repeat.
"I heard you but...why? You wouldn't happen to, I don't know, like me would you?" A devious smile curling on his face.
"Of course not! It's just...that..." Mimi fortunately, or unfortunatley, was looking down and in the next second, pounced on.
"Admit it!!! You think I'm cute!!!" Tai said, tickling Mimi.
"No, I don't!!!" Laughs racked her body as she squirmed around, trying to break from his grasp. Being unsuccessful, she did the only thing she could think of at the moment, she threw her head back and intended to head butt him but what happened next...was nicer.
Their lips met in a gentle kiss, Tai stopped tickling his eyes wide with shock.
Mimi felt like killing herself. Did she actually like Tai this way? No, not really. She had just broken up with her long-time boyfriend. She didn't want to let go of him so soon.
Breaking the kiss, she smiled. Sadly. Tai however, was still in a trance. Then, he threw a tantrum.
"WHY DID YOU KISS ME?! I mean that wasn't...that...no...er....how could you do that to me?! You stole my second kiss! And because of you my first kiss went off to a lunatic-a cute lunatic of course- but still a lunatic! My life has went to hell since I met you and..and...I ..."Tai ranted on, his cheeks warming at an alarming rate.
" Sorry?" Mimi offered.
"That's not good enough!!!!!!" Tai growled in frustration. " I'm leaving. Buh-bye." With that, he got up and headed for the doors, quickly grabbing a new set of clothes to wear on his way.
"Wait! What do you mean by 'I'm leaving. Buh-bye.' You're coming back right????"
"Yeah," Tai replied, "But I need some time alone...you're an eyesore, you know?" With that he shut the door.
And all Mimi could think was,' Maybe I really do like him. It hurts more to see him go, if only for a few hours, than it ever was to see Joe go.'
-
The wind swept at Tai's hair, making it even more messed up than usual. The grass he sat on, moved with it.
This was his spot.
A field away from the school. Away from most of civilization. Just as he needed.
Shivering slightly, he gazed up into the clouds.
He sat there thinking, thinking about anything and everything.
And he sat there, even when dark clouds moved across the horizon.
'I don't like her, I don't like her. I didn't want any of this to happen, so why did it?'
Even when drops of rain fell, he stayed.
-
"He should be back by now, Matt!" Mimi whined to her blonde friend.
"Chill out already! Don't freak out on me, it's Tai. He'll be fine." Strumming his guitar, he glanced out the window. "But I have to admit those clouds don't look good..."
"Let's go find him! Please, Matt, you need to help me!"
"Jason, Jason, Jason, Tai doesn't like anybody, and when I say anybody, I mean anybody, bothering him. Before you showed up, he was known as 'The Ice King.' I don't think he can or will change just because you're nice to him." Sighing, Matt continued, "But if you must, there's one place I know that he always goes to."
"Where?" Mimi eagerly asked.
"It's pretty far away..."
"I'm begging you to tell me where!" Sending out her world-famous puppy pout, she sniffled for a better effect.
Matt stared at Jason, and his mind suddenly flickered to an image of Mimi. 'They really do look alike though. Were Jason and Mimi twins?' Eye twitching, he finally made a comment.
"Tai's really made a big impression on you, huh?" Playing a measure from a song he was writing, he concentrated on it, trying to get the sound to match his lyrics.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that."
-
Mimi's feet hit the pavement in loud smacks, her breaths coming out in short puffs of air.
She wanted to stop, but she kept going.
She headed out onto a stretch of grass, wet from all the rain.
And she saw him.
His figure was motionless, and for a second Mimi thought that something had happened to him.
But no, he was fine.
"Tai?"
He didn't even blink, or even bother to look at her.
"Tai?" She asked a little louder.
"..." Silence except for drops of water rushing from the sky.
"...YOU JERK!!!! You had me worried. Come on, let's go inside. It won't do us any good if we catch a cold."
This time a reaction.
He turned his head to look at her and Mimi realized...that it wasn't just rain running down his face.
He was crying.
-
"AHHHCHOOO!!!!!!" Tai sneezed. After a few minutes of Mimi's continuous shouting, Tai had finally dragged himself back to the school.
"This is so your fault." Mimi blamed Tai, her nose red from sneezing so much.
"Oh, shut up. You didn't have to follow me outside."
"Yeah, well...I was ...I just care about you, okay?"
"Ooh, you- AHHHCHOOO!- d?" Tai was smirking now. "So, you do think I'm cute."
"I never said that!!!" Mimi said angrily.
"But I can tell you do through your eyes. You can't hide your feelings from me. I know you 'love' me." Tai was just joking but what Mimi said next had him stunned.
"You're right. I do love you." Mimi stated simply.
------------------------------------------------
Goggles: BWAHAHAHA! The fourth chapter is done! Sorry it wasn't as funny and overall, a pretty stupid chapter but I just had to move the plot along, you know? Don't worry next chapter will be more humorous as Tai goes out on a date with Sora (refer back to chapter 3 where it says he does) and Mimi goes to spy on him. Ooh, and what's this? Another person knows Mimi's secret?
I also apologise for not updating last week, I was too busy working on this fanart I'm submitting to Shonen Jump. Anwho, Please review and feel free to flame me!
P.S. Was the beginning okay? I retyped it four times before I settled on this one.
