Hi! I'm actually updating within 2 weeks! Wow! But I just got off school, so it'll be a lot easier. I'M GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL! It sounds so scary, but so fun all at once. Anyway, this month has brought some great new fics, and writiers to my attention! If y'all don't mind, I'd like to reccomend: Bet Gone Wrong by PaochiCute, I'm What? and Artistic Differences by theladyknight, Bubble Pop Electric and I'm really really sorry but I don't have the author's name (I'm SO sorry if you're out there!), and Lost and Found by Queen of the Sugarplum Faeries. Check those out if you're into romance/humor/sometimes action Mimatos and Soratos. And I think there's a Tai/someone in there too. WAY too hot to remember, though. The desert's gotten from mid 70's to over 100 degrees in 3 weeks. It's so crazy! Anyway, my long list of thank you's to my beloved reviewers! Oh, and I don't own anything in here, except for the plot. I listen to flames, but they'll be used in a flamethrower to break into Billie Joe's house, kidnap him, and elope with him to Hawaii! Mwahahahahahahahahah... oh, sorry. P.S. Any y'all have accounts on Neopets (not mine)? I just went on for the first time in 3 years yesterday. I have 1 account I can remember, lilymon9, and one I just made; msbilliejoearmstr0ng. Please, neomail me! I'd luv to hear from ya!

to Angel: haha, I thought there would be too. But Then I thouhgt'd it be way too early and kinda ruin the fic with mushiness. Thanks, though!

To Genna: I luved your idea! So did my friend Kristina. Lol, I was going to have something like that happen, but I didn't know how to put it. I think this mught be some of it, but there should be more to come. Oh, and thank you for the Who Are You? comment. I haven't abandone that, but I've had this major brainfart on what to do, and my disk that it's save on has suddenly decided to be all jacked up and not work. (grumbles)

To KoimiLoccness: Ummmm... thanks? Sorry, didn't really understand the review... but thanks for reviewing anyway. I guess I'm just slow at this kinda stuff, lol.

To PaochiCute: Thanks for reassuring me. I was really doubting Matt there! Anyway, I know, Mimi still hasn't come to terms with herself... doesnt' want to belive it. She will tho! I sooo wanted to make him actually kiss her, but then it'd be too early and ruin it! Lol, I read the end to Bet Gone Wrong. It was cute, with him daring her! That was such a cute fic! Thanks for writing it! lol.

To josiewitchgirl: Awww, thank you! I luv the imput, especially positive imput! I really hope this one beats the other 3 then!

To Lunar Leopard: Hey Paul! I haven't heard from you in forever! Where have you been, dude? You were at school one day, and then you just dissapeared! AND YOU HAVEN'T UPDATED YOUR FIC! EVER! Sorry, I just wanted ot see how it turned out! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review, and tell me how yur doing! Oh, and you missed promotion, you idiot. JK, but seriously. It was fun! I got a bunch of awards! All except forthe fact that a certain ASS-LESS IDIOT (i'm serious) was there!lol, I'll just get to the fic now... hehe

Mrs. Ishida presents...

Matt's POV

It's been a couple hours since the incident with Mimi, but it feels like days. She's still staring into the fire, with the same expression. I don't really know what it means, but I'm sure there's some complex thought process going on in her mind. That's the thing with girls: they overanalyze everything, and don't see things at face value. It irritates me so much. Like right now, she's probably thinking about what it all meant, what I'm thinking, what I'm planning, if I want to do her or not, whether this means I still love her, if she still loves me, and on and on. Oh my god, woman, it was a joke! I wanted to bug you because I thought it was funny! That's it! Anyway, thinking about Mimi makes my head hurt: too much love, too muchanger, and too muchpain. Damn. I'll just get back to my song...

And, to my complete annoyance, I hear an audible tisk from the woman sitting next to me as I grab my notebook. I look over, and just as I predicted, there is the famous "I knew it, you're soooo immature' Mimi Tachikawa eye roll.

"And what are you tisking at, Mimi? Can't a man write in peace?" I asked, half glaring at her. She again rolled her eyes, while giving me a 'yeah right' smirk.

"First of all, Matt, like I've said many times, you are way too devoted to your band. Second of all, I'd hardly consider you a man," Urrgg, that smirk was making me angry. And what's that supposed to mean?

"What that's supposed to mean?" I know I sound stupid, but it's what guys do; they say what's on their minds. It's very logical, unlike a certain other SPECIES that we have to live with.

"I don't think you're a man... you just aren't mature enough," she said, matter-of-factly, staring me right in the eyes.

"Mature? Hell yes I'm mature!" I said defensively. I had to supress a smirk... If only she knew how MATURE I was, hehe.

"Physically, maybe," she said with a small smile hidden in that smirk. Damn, did she think I was hot? I bet she did, most of the girls do... it's just part of my natural charm. "But mentally, you're still a 6 year old." she finished, and with that, I thought I saw her eyes flit from mine, down for a second, then back up. But it could of been the firelight reflecting off her eyes.

Mimi POV

"Mature? Hell yes I'm mature!" he replied, with that Ishida smirk, telling me what he meant. I had no doubt that he was, no doubt at all. But he wouldn't win this argument, not s long as Mimi Tachikawa is alive!

"Physically, maybe, but mentally, you're still a 6 year old." I said, trying to hide my blush and my girlish smile at the thought of his 'maturity'. Oh my god, I can't believe I still act this way around him! I mean, yes, he's somewhat attractive; scratch that, VERY, insanely attractive, but I can resist that, can't I? I won't let it weaken me! I will win! If he knew what I was just thinking, he'd be right in what I knew he was thinking: I'm sooo hot, every girl loves me, I'm the sexiest man alive and god's special gift to women!

Sometimes, he can be a real ass. A stuck up, bigheaded ass. But no matter how much I tried, I couldn't resist looking down at the rest of Matt, just for a second. Hope he didn't notice!

"Physically, definitely, and mentally, I think like a 17 year old. I don't know why you think I act like I'm 6, but obviously, you don't pay enough attention," he replied, still with that stupid smirk. Gud, I just want to rip it off! Stop smirking, damn you! And I don't pay enough attention! If only he knew how much I do pay attention, especially to him! I don't want to, but I do!

"Whatever, you can think what you want, I don't really care. You can think that you're all grown up and 'physically mature'," I said, rolling my eyes and doing the air quotes, "but I don't."

"Why do you keep referencing to my physical being, Mimi?" he asked, slowly, smirking even more. Urrg, irritation, rage, anger, fury...

(A/N: Lol,I know, I stole that from Squidward on Spongebob. But it was just so funny! Does anyone remember him saying that? Review if ya do!)

"I-I don't" I stuttered, trying not to be too angry or embarrassed, because in all truth, I did.

"Yes, you do... you think I'm hot, don't you? You think I'm really, really hot and can hardly keep your hands off of me and stop your self from jumping me. Go on, admit it, it's ok," he said, as if reading my mind. Damn, he's good!

"No, Matt, for your information, I don't think you're hot, and jumping on you or touching you at all is one of the last things I want to do right now." Ilied indignantly, crossing my arms, looking away.

"Right now? Ok, maybe I'll let you later, just because I'm a good guy." he said, with a laugh.

"Matt, you can be such an ass sometimes! You are not the greatest thing on the planet, you know! You weren't like this before, only after we broke up!" I said, and immediately wanted to take it back. It struck a nerve... for both of us.

Matt POV

God, she really wants to see me naked right now, I can tell. She so thinks I'm hot, there's no point in lying. That's ok, she not that bad on the eyes either; I definitely wouldn't mind.

"Matt, you can be such an ass sometimes! You are not the greatest thing on the planet, you know! You weren't like this before, only after we broke up!" Wait a minute... I haven't changed! I didn't want to hear about our breakup... again.

"Mimi, just shut it. Let's not talk about this," I said harshly.

'Why? Is ickle-Mattie kins showing emotion? Wow, I didn't know that was possible!" she said with a fake amazement. This just made me angry, but somehow, I just wanted to be near her again.

"You think I show no emotion?" I asked coldly, and before I knew it, I was next to her with one hand on her cheek, about a half an inch away from her face, just staring into her eyes. That'll show her I can show emotion. I can show my love that I unfortunately still harbor for her,and be right!Her eyes were wide with surprise, and her breathing was short and shallow. Her eyes kept flitting from my eyes to my lips and back. Her hands, which had previously been at her sides, were slowly crawling up and around my neck, pulling just a little closer. I settled so I was comfortable, and was pretty content with what was happening. She was no longer surprised, but her eyes showed that she was thinking what I was. I was too preoocupied to care though. We were taking our time, slowly inching closer, with all the time in the world...

drip

We looked up, realizing what had almost just happened, and heard the fresh rain banging on the roof, a drop at a time coming through, and right onto her perfect little head. Dammit, I was so close. She instantly broke away.

"Umm, I'll just... move now..." she said, her face turning bright red. Why was she not angry? Did she really want to kiss me again? I knew I wanted to kiss her... girls. They are so great, but so weird.

Mimi POV

What the hell? Was I just about to kiss Matt? Impossible! It would never happen! I don't love him, even if he is a rediculously good kisser. Wait a minute! Dammit, that's not what I meant! I hope my face isn't turning into a tomato... Matt always said it was cute. If I get away from him, maybe he'll leave me alone. A few minutes of slience passed.

"So you think I show no emotion, still?" he asked, and I knew without looking at him, he was grinning.

"Matt, just leave me alone. I don't want to think about it. It never happened," I replied stiffly, still not looking. I sensed his grin faded; I had hurt him.

"Ok Mimi," he sighed, and within a few minutes, I could hear the faint scribbling in his notebook. I should apologize. But I won't I need to get over him, and get on with my life. He doesn't love me, and I don't love him. That's it.

Awww, so close! I bet he'll get that kiss sometime though! Anyway, please tell me if this story topped the other chapters, or if htere was ANYTHING at all you didn't like.

P.S. I saw Star Wars (not mine!) Revenge of the Sith yesterday. I made me cry! (but then again, I cried at Pocahontas, which I don't own.) I liked Annakin at first, but he turned into such a ho! I was so mad for the rest of the night. I know, I'm a loser. But it was really sad! Yoda was awesome, when he was coming into the room to talk to the Chancellor, and the two guards at the door try to get him, but e just sweeps them back! That was hilarious!

Also, anyone out there with the album Warning by Green Day (don't own)? I just got it; it's pretty good! I think I like nimrod (not mine) a little better, but this one's pretty good! Please review.
