My cell phone was ringing and why not, I was in the shower! Why must people always call me while I am showering!

"Hello?" I sighed into my little yellow phone. My hair was up in a towel that threatens to unravel itself; I was holding the corners of my body towel in front of me, water still dripping from me.

"My my, aren't you a cheery one!" I heard Tai's voice coming at me in his normal up-beat voice.

"I was in the shower…"

"Again?"

"I like to take more then one shower a week!"

"Didn't you just take one today?"

"That was after practice! It doesn't count." I sat on my bed, flipping through a magazine Mimi left for me.

"Well the reason I'm calling is to talk about me."

"You?" I smiled, shaking my head absently. "Why on earth would you think I'd want to talk about you?"

"Darling, why wouldn't you!" Tai's voice held a sarcastic shocking tone. "Remember at the mall…."

"It was two hours ago, how could I forget?"

"I thought you were going to work."

"It was a bluff to throw Mimi off. I didn't want to spend all day shopping!"

"No, you wanted to take a shower," I knew he was smiling on the other end. "Anyway, remember at the record store?"

"When you tripped over Matt? It was quite commercial."

"Quite?"

"Yes, quite."

"Is Matt there?"

"What are you implying sir!"

"Nothing, nothing at all. So back to me, the record store, I saw this unbelievable girl."

"Gorgeous was she?"

"Um…you know what. I have seen better. She is no Mimi by any means but there was something about her I cannot put my finger on it. I was looking at this CD, I glance up, and there she was. Right across me, looking at me!"

"Well Tai, with that hair of yours it's hard not to stare."

"Haha! You sure Matt isn't there?"

"I'm very sure, Tai."

"She has green eyes, Sor."

"Who? This girl?"

"Yeah. A brilliant shade of green. Jade colour almost. She looked up at me…."

"So she's shorter then you?"

"Um…I suppose so. Well she looked up at me and something passed between us."

"Dust?"

"No! I am serious Sor! I think I'm in love!"

"With who?"

"That's just it, I don't know!"

"What?"

"Some girl behind her tapped her on the shoulder, interrupting our stare and they left. I was dumbfounded! I didn't know what to say, did not know what to do. I stood there like a complete idiot! Like a deer caught in the headlights! I didn't say "Hello"I didn't get her name, I didn't even get her bloody number!"

"Aw, but you did run after her. Right?"

"Yes but she vanished!"

"Mysteries!"

"The crowd ate her up! I couldn't find her. I spent an hour walking back and forth the mall trying tolocate her. I even stopped people to ask if they seen her!"

"You are serious aren't you?"

"I said I was! Don't you listen to me?" Tai yelled. "Now I have to go to the bloody mall every weekend hoping she will turn up again!"

"Calm down," I walked over to my closet to find something to wear. "You know what; Mimi might be able to help you out. She lives at the mall, I am sure if the girl is a regular, she might know who she is. In addition, the girl is into music, why else be at the music store. Maybe Matt knows her or perhaps seen her around."

"Do you think you could talk to Mimi?"

"Sure…"

"Today!"

"Now? Bb..but I am suppose to be working! I told her I was working!" I reminded him of my little white lie. Why is it that some people can get away with a major lie but me with a little white one, it keeps adding on my plate.

"Pretty please," Tai whined into the phone.

"Fine, I'll see you later." I hung up the phone and dialled Mimi's number.

"Hellllo!" Mimi's singsong voice came through the other line and I cringed.

"Hey Mimi!"

"Sor?" Silence, "I thought you were at work."

"I am, kinda." I felt the lie rising to my lips, "An errand for the flower shop…"

"Oh, what kind? Do you need me to come along?"

"No…no, it's quite alright." I hurried, "I was actually wondering if you could help me out with something. Well actually help Tai, not me."

"Sure, what does he need help with? Is he looking for a good hairstylist?" Mimi grew excited. Actually, if that was the reason I would be excited also. Tai refuse to let anyone touch his hair, including himself.

"No. I wish but no. At the mall when Tai took off after that girl…"

"Did you see her shoes?" Mimi cut me off, "She wore a blue dress and had a pink purse and white shoes."

"Uh..no. I think I was watching Matt." I reminded her.

"Oh. Well she was wearing those colours and I must say that I was totally appalled…"

"Mims, back to the girl. Did you get a good look at her face?" I had to cut her off before she started that whole lecture on what not to wear while wearing what.

"To be honest Sor, I couldn't get passed the blue dress and pink purse, why do you ask?"

"I thought maybe you had seen her before, at the mall you know."

"Yeah, she comes in wearing the most hideous coronations; it's hard not to notice her. However, I if she dress as I do, I wouldn't be able to pick her out from a line up or anything like that. I just know her by her colour coronation."

"Then you do know her! Well a little. Have you notice where she goes in the mall or where she eats?" I started to squeal.

"I know OF her, I don't know her and only by passing her by. I'm not into stalker females unless I need to know where they purchased their shoes or the sent they are wearing."

"Do you think you could find out something? Tai is convinced that he is in love with her and…"

"He asked you to call me! That is so sweet! I never took him for the romantic type." Mimi sighed. "If it's for love, I'll do it!"

"That is so cheesy." I rolled my eyes.

The next day was wet with rain. In the past, I despised the rain. I wasn't allowed to go out in it so I would be stuck at the apartment doing nothing. It would cancel all my outside activities that left me trying to find other means to ward off the boredom syndrome. All that had changed since then, every time it rains its music to my ears and puts a smile on my face. I am transported back in time, in a dance that I will never forget.

I raised my fist to the familiar door, giving it a few quick knocks and waited outside in the hall very patiently. When the door opens, there was no smile on my greeter's face.

"It's about time you showed up," Tai scruffed, stepping aside to allow me in.

"Hello to you too," I frowned putting aside my umbrella and handing him my raincoat.

"Sorry. I was up most of the night," Tai sighed, "Did you find out anything from Mimi? I expected you to call or leave a message. Even call Matt or Kari to let me know what was going on!"

"Sorry," I don't even know why I was apologizing. If he wanted to know so badly, he could have called back! The phone works both ways; however, this is a new feeling for Tai. I am not sure how to handle him now. Boys are weird when they are bamboozled.

"Well…what did you find out?" He crossed his arms.

"Not much, sorry." Again, why I am apologizing! "The good news is Mimi had seen her about the mall before. She does not know anymore then that. Did you talk to Matt?"

"Yeah and the bastard laughed in my face!" Tai hissed.

"Oh?"

"I asked him if he noticed the girl at the mall….he asked me which one." He threw his hands in the air, "How could he be so blind not to notice her!"

I did not know what to say. In a way, I was glad he didn't notice her however, he did notice the others.

"Then I told him, she had blonde hair and green eyes." Tai shook his head, "He just raised his bloody eyebrow. I am going to shave it off one night! It's his silent way of mocking me!"

"I think you are getting carried away."

"He thinks this is entertaining!"

"Come on Tai, if it was him you would be laughing your ass off right now."

"I would take this matter very serious!" Tai blushed.

"Yeah…" I walked pass him. "Is Izzy in his room?"

"Where else would he be?" Tai followed me in the hallway of Izzy's apartment.

Izzy is a dear friend, he remains neutral through all of our little petty fights and he is extremely loyal to us all. He goes out of his way to help us out even when it's most inconvenient for him.

I snuck up from behind him, wrapping my arms around his neck in a not so Mimi hug and planted a huge kiss on his cheek. "Hey."

"Hello," He turned in his chair to face me, "How have you been? It's been a little too long since we were together."

"Yeah," I sighed sitting down on his bed. "Do you want to catch a movie later this afternoon or go get something to eat?"

"Let's have Matt cook!" Tai smiled, rubbing his stomach.

"He's not here," I reminded my bushy hair friend, sometimes he is so like a cave dweller.

"He'll show up," Tai scratched his head. "He said he would."

"Can't we just eat pizza?" I asked, "We could order out or something."

"That actually sounds good," Izzy swirled in his chair.

"Or maybe we can go out!" Tai's chocolate colour eyes grew wide, "I think Izzy could use some outside time!"

"I go out!" Izzy defended himself.

"Yeah, to school!" Tai shot back.

"Not just to school," Izzy turned to face his computer.

"Oh that's right," Tai grinned, "You tutor Mimi…or is it the other way around?"

"What's that suppose to mean?" Izzy turned back around to face Tai.

"Come on!" Tai flopped down hard on the bed beside me, making me pounce. "You were wearing her lip stick! It was all over your face!"

"Izzy?" I looked over at the blushing boy.

"Tai is…"

"Tai is not doing anything!" Tai interrupted, "Did you or didn't you sloppier Mimi? Matt and I saw her signature of red paint on your face."

"It's none of your business!" Izzy stood up and actually shouted at Tai. "And she kissed you too!"

"Yeah, on the bloody cheek! You had make-up on your mouth and…"

"Hey…" I stood up and placed myself between the two boys. "Let's just stay calm, shall we?"

"I was just saying what I saw…" Tai shrugged.

"You didn't see anything!" Izzy hissed.

"Guys," I warned.

"Come on Izzy, everyone in the whole wide world knows you have something for Mimi!" Tai shook his head, "So you two kissed, good for you! Score one for Izzy! He's our man, if he can't do it no one can!"

"SHUT UP!" Izzy growled.

"Of the love of…"I threw my hands up in the air.

"Hey Izz," Matt's deep voice came from the doorway, "Your Mum let me in." He gave Tai and Izzy a nod before strolling over my way.

"Hey," I could feel my cheeks turn red as he leaned down to kiss me. I don't know if I will ever get use to kissing him in front of my friends.

"Hey," He whispered back in that deep voice that sent chills down my body, his lips barely touching mine.

"IZZY MY LOVE!" Tai wrapped his arms around Izzy's neck, squeezing him into a hug, "Oh how I missed you!" He raised his left leg in the air behind him.

"I can't believe we were separated for a whole day with out seeing each other!" Izzy mocked a wail.

"Please promise you'll never leave again!" Tai continued on, his argument with Izzy all forgotten while they picked on my relationship. "I don't think I can take another moment with out you!"

"Cute, you two belong to the theatre. " Matt took a sit beside me on the bed.

"Any luck on my girl?" Tai asked, taking a place one of Izzy's folding chairs, leaning back on two legs of the chair and giving Matt his lazy stare.

"I told you, Tai. I can't help. Do you know how many girls flock me? I'm looking for escape routes, not checking out what colour eyes a girl has." Matt put his arm behind me on the bed, his shoulder slightly behind my shoulder. Growing up, I would never have thought Matt would show affection in front of people.

"I'm only asking you because I'm desperate!" Tai sighed.

"Sorry man." Matt shrugged, "It would have helped if you had a picture or something."

"I could finger print her!" Tai snapped his fingers, "Then Izzy could match the finger prints up on the computer and…."

"I'll do what?" Izzy asked.

"Finger print what?" Matt quirked up his eyebrow.

"STOP MOCKING ME!" Tai hissed at Matt.

"What?" Matt asked in confusion.

"It's a long story," I patted his leg, "What are you going to finger print?"

"Well…she was looking at a CD at the mall…." Tai stood up to pace back and forth.

"As well as a million other people," Izzy cut him off. "We can't pick her finger prints off a CD in a mall, Tai. Even if we could, I don't have the stuff to lift finger prints off of an object…"

"We could…" Tai started.

"AND," Izzy cut him off, "I don't have the equipment to do a finger analyzes. This isn't CSI, Tai."

Tai reached over and tapped Izzy on the nose lightly, "Beboop!"

Who would had thought Izzy's face would get as red as his hair colour?

"I TOLD YOU BEFORE DO NOT DO THAT!" Izzy heaved, "I HAVE A PERSONAL SPACE AND EVERY TIME YOU POKE ME IN THE NOSE YOU ARE TAKING MY SPACE UP!"

Tai stared at Izzy for a few moments, as if he had done nothing to cause the other's anger. "But Mimi is allow to invade your personal space, isn't she?" He said after a few moments.

"You know what?" Matt stood up before Izzy and Tai could continue, "I'm starving and talking about what Mimi might have done with Izzy's personal space won't help my appetiet much."
