Previously: Matt and Mimi just got out of the principal's office, and Mimi was about to get hit by a truck! (gasp) But then Matt saves her, and when Mimi opens her eyes... Matt is on top of her!!
oOo
Once Upon an Arranged Marriage : Chapter 5 - I'm Marrying YOU?!
'What do I do? What do I do?'
oOo
"Wait, WHAT?"
"Don't talk so loud, Sora!" Mimi hushed her friend. "My parents will hear you!"
"Sorry," Sora said a little quieter. She was at Mimi's house after Mimi's... "accident". "But answer my question."
"Nothing really happened after that..." Mimi said recalling the moment. "Actually, it was like he forgot I was even there."
Flashback
'What do I do? What do I do?'
Mimi's eyes were closed, and her arms were pinned down on the sidewalk. For a minute, it was as if nothing was on her, and when she opened her eyes, Matt was standing up brushing dirt away from his shirt.
Mimi got up slowly and eyed Matt suspiciously. "That's it?" she asked.
"What's it?"
"You save me and... nothing?"
"I'd rather have you NOT say a word about this to anyone."
"Why not? Will it make you look like a hero?" Mimi crossed her arms.
"I just don't want anyone to know you got hurt."
Mimi's eyes grew open in shock.
Interrupted by Sora
Sora gasped interrupting Mimi. "He said that?!"
"Sush, Sora!" Mimi said. "I wasn't finished yet."
Flashback Continued
Mimi blinked a few times before she could actually speak again. I mean, coming from the guy who was a total jerk to her... she HAS a right to be speechless. "R-Really?" she stuttered as she asked. Matt's face was emotionless, but then a small smile appeared on his face. 'Maybe he's not so bad after all.' Mimi thought.
Then, the small smile turned into a chuckle, into a giggle, into a huge laugh. Mimi was dumbfounded. "What's so funny?"
"YOU!" he said cracking up.
"What did I do?!"
"You BELIEVED me! That's what!" Matt couldn't take it anymore; he fell down, clutched his stomach, and laughed even harder. "You thought I CARED for you! HA! HA! HA! HA!" Mimi turned bright red and steam came out from her ears.
"UGH!" she screamed as Matt kept on laughing. "Don't you ever save me again!"
"Like I'd even WANT to," he said as his voice turned back to normal, and his laughter went away. "But if you make me laugh like this all the time, I'll make an exception."
"My god, I hate you so much!" Mimi screamed.
"Just make sure no one knows about this."
"Like I WANT anyone to know that YOU saved me!" Mimi huffed and walked away. 'And to think I thought he was nicer! UGH!'
End of Flashback
"And that's what happened." Mimi said, then she put up her index finger. "Lesson to this story, NEVER think a guy turns nice to you all of a sudden."
"I thought it was kind of cute," Sora answered.
"Cute my ass!" Mimi said.
"And funny." Sora began to giggle a little.
"It was NOT!"
"Fine... you're right. It was really bad!" Sora said. It was silent for a moment, then the doorbell rang and Mimi turned pale.
"No... I regret you saying that my scene earlier was bad..." Mimi sighed.
"Why? What happened?" Sora asked.
"THIS is going to be WORSE." Mimi said as Sora raised an eyebrow. "I forgot I was going to meet my... f-fiance today!" Mimi cried.
"Really? Then maybe I should leave..." Sora said walking towards the door.
"NO! I can't face him alone!" Mimi said following Sora downstairs. "Why are you leaving?!"
"Promise to tell me all about it later?" Sora asked walking towards her backyard.
"Fine..." Mimi groaned.
"I'll just get out this way. BYE!" Sora said waving before she left.
oOo
"Son, you're going to love her!" Mr. Ishida said.
"Your father's right, you know! And plus, she's beautiful, too!" Mrs. Ishida replied.
"I doubt it..." Matt muttered.
"Well look at the bright side, at least you're going to have a beautiful wife!" Tai, Matt's best friend, said.
"You're supposed to be on MY side, here!" Matt said. Tai shrugged.
"How do you feel about your hair... TODAY?" TK asked randomly remembering what he had told Mimi.
"Like how I feel about it every crappy day..." Matt said raising up one eyebrow. "Why?"
"Nothing." TK answered. Matt shrugged and crossed his arms.
They were all in front of Matt's fiance's house waiting for someone to answer the door. "OOH! I hear someone coming!" Mrs. Ishida cheered. "Tai, not to be rude or anything, but can you leave? You know, this is family business here and all..."
"No problem, Mrs. Ishida!" Tai said. "Have fun with your wife, MATT!"
"SHUT UP!" Matt replied as Tai walked away.
oOo
"NOOO! You can't make me!" Mimi said as her parents tried to drag her to the door.
"Honey, if you meet him, I promise to get you a car." her Mom replied.
"Really?"
"Mm-hmm."
"Yeah. Just meet him," her Dad smiled.
"You're the best, Mom!" Mimi replied.
"Oh don't give me all the credit. It's coming from your Dad's credit card!" Mrs. Tachikawa said as Mimi's Dad's face fell.
"Aww! Thanks, Daddy! I'll meet him now!" Mimi smiled.
"Great..." Mr. Tachikawa said, but then he put on his cheery face when he opened the door.
"Hello there, In-Laws." Mr. and Mrs. Ishida said.
"Mimi, meet your fiance, Yamato Ishida." Mrs. Tachikawa said.
"I'm marrying YOU?!" they said at the same time.
oOo
"Dammit! If I JUST signed up for soccer this year, maybe - just MAYBE, I'd be able to climb this without a sweat." Sora said as her leg swung around the top end of the wall of Mimi's backyard. As she pulled her weight up, she lost balance and fell. "AHH!" Sora closed her eyes as she was prepared to feel the concrete.
Instead, she felt something a little softer. She opened her eyes to see that she fell on someone. "Oww..." she heard the person say.
"Oh my god..." Sora got up and helped the guy up. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry!"
"It's a good thing you're light..." the boy groaned as he stood up rubbing his head. He turned his head to see who fell on him, and his eyes met the most stunning auburn eyes he had ever seen. "... and pretty."
Sora blushed a little and smiled back.
oOo
"You have got to be kidding me," Mimi groaned. By now, the Ishida's and the Tachikawa's were standing by the frontdoor.
"You two know each other?" Mr. Tachikawa asked.
"You could say that..." TK answered.
"Mind telling us HOW?" the women said.
"We bumped into each other at the candy store, and we accidentally swapped phones. Everything went a mess after that." Mimi answered crossing her arms and looking away - far from Ishida as possible. Then she added, "A HUGE mess."
"I should have just eaten breakfast that morning. Maybe then, I wouldn't have been hungry." Matt muttered. "Then I wouldn't have met YOU."
"I bet your life has brighten up since you met me!"
"Brighten up or darkened down my life!"
"Well, you're a living nightmare!"
"Looking at you, I'm surprised I'm even living at all!"
"Please!" Mimi spat. "I'm probably the most interesting thing that ever happened in your life!"
"Maybe you're right!" he blurted out without thinking.
"What...?"
"What?" their parents' mimicked.
"She IS?!" TK said mimicking Mimi's enlarged eyes.
Yes, well... that is where I will end tonight!
I'm sorry that I haven't updated as much. I guess I can tell you now that I won't be updating for a while because of school and things. Just to give you a heads up you know!
Well, I hope that this chapter was worth reading because I worked hard on it!
Hope you liked the Taiora part!! That will get more interesting later on.
And of course Matt and Mimi's relationship will change, too. So look forward into that! HAHA!
Okay, well, Leave a Review!!
