Josiewitchgirl- OMG I totally forgot to mention that! Thanks for not flaming me. Anyway you're right it's from PaochiCute's fic and she is the most wonderful writer ever! (Which is why she's on both my fav. lists.) Glad you're enjoying the story!
Hi again everyone! O.K. the updates are going to come pretty quickly but that's only because I have most of these chapters all ready written up. However I am NOT going to update if I don't get any reviews because I'll feel so very sad --. So if you're enjoying this story remember to tell me! Also by the way all the characters in here are slightly um…strange and do some weird things that I'm sure they wouldn't do in real life. But hey this is a fiction isn't it? Till next time!
Chapter 2- Crazy plans. Crazy ideas!
Matt gaped at her for a minute before bursting into hysterical laughter. "You-have-got-to-be-kidding-me," he gasped in between breaths. Then seeing her serious face he slowed down. "Wait a minute Mimi you're not actually serious?" Still receiving no reply he stared at her incredulously. "You do realise this is totally crazy don't you? There is no way we can do something like that! In the first place who would we matchmake? And in the second place…" Before Matt could continue his complaints however Mimi interrupted.
"Actually Matt there are heaps of people I can think of who only need a little push in the right direction and…" she wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.
Matt looked at her questioningly. "O.K. then. Try me. Who?"
Sighing Mimi sat up straight and held up her fingers. "Well firstly there's Ken and Yolei who are really hopeless but then they'd be our easiest first victims."
Matt remained unconvinced while Mimi continued. "And then of course there's T.K. and Kari. Of course we'll have to find someone for Daisuke along that way but I'm sure that won't be a problem." Matt pretended to gag. "You do realise that's my little 'bro' you're talking about Meems?" She ignored him and continued, "And then of course there's Tai and Sora. What we are going to do about those two I simple can't imagine." She stopped and stared at Matt inquisitively. "Are you O.K Yamato?"
Matt continued to choke. "Did you say Tai and Sora?"
Mimi looked annoyed. "Well I didn't say Sai and Tora that's for sure!"
"But they're so…so…"
"Oblivious I know but then that's the challenge. Well then that leaves Izzy and Joe. I suppose we couldn't…?" She looked at Matt enquiringly while he looked at her horrified.
" No way am I remotely setting those two up!"
Mimi looked at him amusedly. "You are sick Matt. Did you know that?" she said offhandedly. "I simply meant couldn't we find one of your rejects to be their um 'object of affection' you know."
Matt winced. Why was she so blunt? Maybe she was just being sincere. "Well I suppose I could…" Mimi squealed and hugged him. "You mean you'll go along with it? Excellent! We're going to make a great team Matt you'll see! Meet me tomorrow here. 8:00am sharp. Don't you DARE be late!" Before he could protest or in fact even to tell her to get off him she had scrambled off and was running to the door. "Mimi you forgot the…" he stopped and grinned weakly when he saw her wiggling the lock with a hairpin.
…Keys." As he drove off he muttered under his breath that it really was a blessing there was only one of her.
Matt groaned as his alarm went off at 7:00am. He really didn't know why he was bothering to go along with her crazy plan…besides the fact that it might turn out quite interesting. Rolling out of bed, he crawled to his cupboard and pulled out jeans and a black polo. Running a comb through his reluctant hair he grabbed a banana and hopped in the car. "As long as she doesn't expect me to look like Prince Charming I should be O.K" he said as he somehow managed to smear banana all over himself like a 3 year old.
Mimi glanced at the clock impatiently a manila folder clutched tightly in her hands. "What's taking him so long?" she muttered. "It's nearly a minute to 8:00 and he's not here." At that moment Sora walked into kitchen, still in her pyjamas, her hair still ruffled from sleep. She blinked when she saw Mimi. "Are you alright Mimi? I thought you would've been tired." Mimi managed a bright smile. "Oh I'm fine Sora. Jet lag and stuff you know." Her shoulders lifted as she heard Yamato's car pull into the driveway. "I'm just going to go drive it off with Matt now!"
"With Matt? But he never gets up before…"
Her lips quirked up in a smile as Mimi rushed out the door.
…8:00."
When Mimi saw Matt she shrieked and not just an everyday you-scared-me shriek. A full out ear blasting, head splitting, teeth clenching shriek. "Matt you look…you look horrible!" He turned to her bleary eyed. " 7:00…hours…alarm clock….sleep…banana …Prince Charming…." She stared at him half scared, half amused. Finally she pushed him out of the drivers seat and told him to get into the passengers. "I think it'll be safer if I drive this morning Yamato."
"…drive…" he replied his head nodding.
"Yeah drive. It'll take us a while to get to where we're going so I guess it's O.K. if you take a…" she glanced at his sleeping, banana smeared face.
"…a little nap," she finished with a soft smile.
When Matt woke up he found Mimi studying a map outside a public toilet. She smiled at him when she noticed he was awake. "Morning sleepyhead. You seemed really desperate so I let you sleep for a little while." Ignoring her Matt looked around for some indication of where they were. "We're in Sleepyside Park. It was quite a long drive but I think I know how to get back. We're going to meet Ken and Yolei here. Well to tell the truth they're going to meet each other but they don't know that do they?"
Matt feeling a bit grumpy at having been so sleepy in from of Mimi mumbled slowly, "Well then why are we out here?"
Mimi's smile grew wider. "I thought you might want to get yourself cleaned up before we go into the park."
"What's wrong with how I look?' asked Matt a little aggressively. Mimi put on a saintly expression. "I won't say anything till you've seen a mirror." She paused and then thrust a bag of clothes at him. "These are for you. I brought them from America. It's convenient because you can wear them now I guess." Surprised he looked up at her, she was blushing rather badly. He was about to tease her when he caught sight of his face in the side mirror.
Crack
"…"
Mimi rubbed her ears crossly and tossed Matt a handkerchief. "Go get changed you big baby," she muttered.
1 hour later
"Honestly Matt! Did you have to take quite so long? Now we'll only just be in time to meet them!"
"But I thought you said…?" Matt began.
"Well forget what I said. We have to meet them Matt to give them the push remember."
"Oh. Right." He replied his brow unfurrowing. Then a little hesitatingly he looked down at his clothes and making sure his eyes didn't meet Mimi's he said, "By the way. Thanks for the clothes. They're a perfect fit and they're a really nice colour."
Mimi was staring at her nails as she got out of the car still clutching the manila folder. "I know. They're going to blend in nicely with the undergrowth."
Catching Matt's sharp glance she added hurriedly, "Of course they're you're favourite colour too." Then pushing him away she began to walk briskly in the direction of the park. "What about the car?" Matt called out.
"Leave it," said Mimi. "We've got to make this seem natural.
Sorry for the abrupt ending but I couldn't continue without making this chapter too long. If any of you are interested this story is going to have 9 chapters. It basically tells you all the couplings that are going to be in it so sorry if some of you don't like some of them but they're the only ones I feel comfortable writing. (Actually I don't mind Daikari but I just decided this was going to be a Takari.)
