Soramon&JyouraKoumi: Thanks for your reviews, I hope you had a wonderful holiday (If you had a holiday). Thanks for the reviews! This next one is small but it's something to keep me going.


Mimi came in to Izzy's apartment an hour after my arrival. She greeted Izzy first, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him very deeply before she bother to take notice to me and Tai sitting on the sofa, feeling awkward as we waited for her to finish. Izzy's cheeks grew a deep rose colour tint to them, but Mimi acted as nothing took place. She gave Tai a quick peck on the cheek and sat down beside me, throwing her arms around my neck to tell me about her tale of the trip of mall shopping.

"Excuse me,'' Tai saved me from an hour long story about a shirt Mimi knew would look perfect with the hand bag she purchased for me two years ago. I did not even know if I still had that purse! "I believe Izzy wanted us to watch this surveillance tape." Tai held up the black video.

"I'm surprise that the mall didn't up grade their security system!" Mimi eyes grew large, "I mean, how many people still own a VCR? If I had any control over the mall, I would definite up grade to a disc system…"

"Mims,'' I patted her gently on the lap. "I don't think they wanted this viewed to the public eye, Hun."

"You mean," Mimi looked over at Tai and Izzy, "We are doing something illegal!"

"Err…" Izzy blushed again.

"Only in the legal terms,'' Tai sighed, "But you know that saying, all fair in love and war."

"War!" Mimi gasped, "I thought we were just…"

"We are," Izzy sat down on an empty chair, "just looking to get an idea of what this female looks like to make Tai seems to have a compulsive to pursue."

"Oh,'' Mimi looked at the blank screen, "Then we are giving it right back?"

"Yep," Tai smiled, slipping the tape inside the VCR.

"And wiping off all prints?" Mimi asked again.

"You don't have to worry about it," Izzy told her, "You haven't touched the tape."

"But you have, right?" Mimi looked over at Izzy.

"Well of course…"

"And I don't want anyone to take you away from me because of a stupid tape," Mimi pouted, looking at the screen.

"No one would do that," Izzy blushed. I knew I was sitting there trying not to smile at his discomfort. It wasn't that I found it all to be amusing but I remember how long it took me to feel comfortable with Matt in front of my friends. I still don't all the time.

We watched the tape in regular motion, every time we tried to fast forward everything got fuzzy and a black strip appeared in the middle of the screen. Since we were not sure when the girl took a trip to the mall or what time she might have been there, we used the date and time when we were in the music store, when Tai first saw this woman. We watched what seems to be the most boring movie in the world. Tai kept asking to rewind the part where a poor old man wandered into the women rest room and rushed out looking behind him. Mimi wanted us to follow a girl with a hat in rewind control to see if she purchased the hat at the mall and if so, where. Then we spotted them, we hadn't realise what terror they were until we saw them in action! Tk and Davis! They rode a kiddie horse, they walked behind people to mock them, they fogged up store windows to write their names or just pressed their faces against the glass, they stood near a ladies bathroom holding a stop watch and what looked as they were congratulating one poor confused lady for the shortest time in the bathroom. The two hellions purchased ice cream and it looked, as Tk didn't like his so he threw it in a mail slot. They walked over to the centre of the stairs to look down and Davis' scoop slid off his cone and landed below them. It must have landed on someone because the two boys took off in a jolt, twenty seconds later a man, a very large and angry man came heaving up the stairs to look around.

"There she is!" Tai pointed to the screen! "She's talking to Matt! Matt knows her!" Tai gripped his cell phone and quickly put it too his ear. "Hey guess what….no, guess again….no. "Tai said the last 'no' rather flatly so I am assuming it wasn't something he didn't find amusing, "We found the girl on the screen….huh? Yes the one at the mall….she is on the screen too…What do you mean you are confused? Oh…um, we sort a borrowed the surveillance video from the mall…if we told you how we would have to kill you….what do you mean that might be a better option then listening to me! Stop being a jerk! Oh so you have to be an ass because we disturbed you…You know what, I don't care. Normally I would but since you started dating Sor I just don't care if you missed out or not. Yeah…" Tai looked at me with a slight blushed, "Sitting beside me…" He said softly, " Um..yeah. Hmm… I guess. Sure… Er oh, the girl you were talking to her before you went into the music store. Yes you were, I see you two in front of me. She's talking to you and waving her arms around. You hand her something…It had better not be your bloody phone number either! I took interest in her first…oh yeah your dating Sor…I don't know what you gave her, I can't make it out but she looks happy. Then you two walk in the store. What do you mean you didn't know her? How can't you know her, she was talking to you for um…fifteen minutes! You really are no help at all! Some friend you are!" Tai sat back on the sofa, a huge frown on his face.

"Matt was no help I take it." Mimi patted his knee.

"Said he didn't remember talking to anyone, if he did it was probably a fan." Tai sulked.

"He had no recollection of who the girl was at all?" Izzy asked.

"He said the only person he remembers actually talking to is Jun," Tai played with his cell phone, opening it and flipping it shut. "Now what can I do?"

"Will Matt come over?" I asked, "You know if he saw the tape maybe he will remember."

"He said he would but he didn't sound reassuring." Tai said, "Told me he meets a lot of fans so that's all it could have been."

"Well then she likes his music and if she meant him at the mall in person, most likely she will try to go to one of his concerts to see if he remembers her." Izzy told him.

"That's just it," Tai looked over at him, "I don't want a girl who is all googlies over Matt."
