Hi everyone! I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long and this applies to every single one of my stories but as it says in my profile I've been having computer troubles. -- That is also the reason why this chapter might not be as long or as good as usual. I had written it up before and lost it and my chapters are never as good when I write it the second time round. Anyway despite all that I hope you enjoy and please review I sort of need the support.

Chapter 3: Matchmake No. 1

Mimi and Matt casually walked into the park. Noticing some folders Mimi was holding in her hand Matt asked, "So what's in those?"

"Huh? Oh I forgot to tell you. These are all the plans and files related to our business. I wanted us to be organised so we don't mess anything up." She showed the folders to Matt. One was titled 'Proof and Evidence', the other 'Plans and Ideas and the last one 'Rewards.' Glancing over the first two Matt reached for the last one.

"What's in this?" he began but Mimi snatched it away.

"Time enough for that later. Are victims have been spotted and it's time to put our plan into action." There was an evil glint in her eye and Matt gulped.

"Err Mimi I'm actually not too comfortable about all this. You know I'm not experienced or anything and I…" Mimi cut him off impatiently.

"Don't worry I'll let you sit and watch this one out. After all this is how the professionals work" She shoved Matt under a bush and hissed "Be quiet or I will personally make sure you are cut up and served as sushi." Before Matt could say that though sushi was very delicious he didn't think it could be made of human counterparts Mimi was gone. He watched her straining his ears to hear what she was saying.

Mimi waltzed up to Yolei and Ken smiling. "Wow! What a surprise to see you too here as well!" she said happily.

Ken and Yolei exchanged glances before Yolei said confusedly," But you asked to meet us here Mimi?"

Mimi blanched but recovered quickly. "Of course I did! I wanted to see my wonderful friends after so long!" She pulled them both into a rib-breaking hug while at the same time manoeuvring them so they were as close to each other as possible. When she pulled out she stared at them satisfied, noticing they were both red and out of breath.

Matt reflected this was probably more from lack of oxygen then actual embarrassment.

Mimi then glanced at her watch and looked surprised. "Oh my! Look at the time! And look at the sky!" She glanced up and then cursed mentally. "It's so…so…blue! I must go bring my clothes in. They become absolutely hopeless if they're left out for too long."

Looking slightly perturbed Ken and Yolei nodded; suddenly Mimi's voice went mechanical and slightly robotic. "Oops-I-didn't-see-that-tree-root-and-now-I-tripped-on-it. Sorry-Yolei-didn't-mean-to-push-you-into-Ken's-arms." Then she scampered away and dived under the bush. Matt stared at her sceptically and said, "Mimi don't you think they'd notice that you've just dived under a bush?"

"No, they're too caught up in each others eyes. Isn't it dreamy?" Matt was about to answer no when he realised just how close he and Mimi were…and though that should have been disgusting or at least normal the fact that their knees were almost touching and that her large caramel eyes were looking at him and that her face was moving closer to his made his heart beat a lot faster them he thought it should. She was so close now he could almost count her eyelashes (A/N Oh no it's sounding like HP! Just ignore it O.K? She didn't have anything else he could count!) when they were interrupted by a squelching sound from behind them. They turned around only to wince as they saw Ken and Yolei caught up in their own little 'moment.'

"Aw Mimi I think I'm going to be sick!" whispered Matt.

"They're not very good at it are they?" added Mimi disapprovingly. "They look like they're eating each others faces. Well as long as they're happy."

"No seriously Mimi I'm feeling a bit squeamish," complained Matt.

Mimi's face lit up and she grinned. "I've got it!

"Got what?" asked Matt curiously.

"Our new motto! What makes you squeam makes others beam!"

"Riiight. And we need this motto why?"

"Oh right you don't know. We need it to print on our certificates."

Matt went pale. "Our certificates?"

"Mhmm you know. The ones we give to acknowledge our great deeds."

"Great deeds?"

"Yep. Like the one behind us!"

squelching sounds continue

"Behind us?"

"Will you stop repeating everything I say? Just take this and give it to Ken and Yolei."

Matt managed to get a glimpse of 'We Matchmade YOU' before she pulled it back and scrutinised him.

"On second thoughts perhaps I better give it to them."

"That's absolutely right! I can't think of a better person for the job," replied Matt relieved.

"I wouldn't want you messing up my hard work."

"I would totally ruin everything," Matt agreed.

Mimi began to get up, "Of course the certificate has your name on it too."

"WHAT? NOOOOOOO…" In the sudden silence Matt looked around. Ken and Yolei were staring at him bemusedly.

He sweat dropped. "Err hi guys. What's up?"

Mimi rolled her eyes. "On behalf of Yamato and I we would like to present you with this certificate. She glared pointedly at Matt who took the hint and continued. "This certificate…um certifies that we have successfully match made you two. Or in other words taken the steps you were too afrai…I mean shy to take." He stepped forward holding out the certificate. In the silence that followed Matt felt a little uncomfortable.

"Is something wrong?" he began before Yolei pounced on him and Mimi.

"You mean you two did this? Oh thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been trying so long to get through his thick head!"

"Hey!" said Ken looking disgruntled. Yolei turned and fixed him with her steely glare. "And now me and my Prince Charming are going to ride off into the sunset aren't we?"

"Y-yolei we don't have a horse…" catching sight of Yolei's face he quickly amended,

"But we can make do of course." Yolei beamed and hopped on his back.

"Off my valiant steed. Let us venture forth on the real beginning of our lives!" Staggering slightly under the weight Ken set off at a crawling pace. As Mimi and Matt continued to watch Ken finally fell down with Yolei off course following him, while their lips 'accidentally' met. Embarrassed Matt and Mimi both turned away and began walking back to the car. Silently they seated themselves. "Well," said Matt slowly as he started the engine. "That went well didn't it?"

"Oh yes," replied Mimi with a small smile. "We did a great job."

"We must be naturals at this," said Matt trying to keep grinning.

Feeling the colour rush to her cheeks Mimi frantically put her head down. "It was a good days work." Giving each other quick smiles they relapsed into their own thoughts as they drove on. Little did they know that though they were trying very hard to avoid talking about a moment in a bush it was priority Number 1 in their minds.

"Maybe," they both thought, "This matchmaking business will cause more problems then it will solve."


Well there you go! I hope you liked it at least a little bit. I'll get the next chapter up as soon as possible but I can't make any promises. However remember the more reviews I get the quicker I update (I end up feeling too guilty) so there's an incentive! Till next time!
