| Neko was pacing back and forth in their room. �Where have you been?� she cried as Mi-chan entered the room. �I need your help.� Poor, Neko, Mi-chan thought. Mi-chan had abandoned her and their siblings at the house almost as soon as they had gotten home from school so that she could go help Tenshi. And here her super-dependent twin was, just as stressed out about the date as Tenshi had been. Well, at least she had given it a second thought. And it looked like a third, fourth, and maybe even fifth from all the outfits strewn across the bed. �I don�t know what she likes or hates or which one I want�,� Neko said, clearly frustrated. �Neko-chan, let�s get one thing straight,� Mi-chan told her. �You can wear whatever you want, and Tenshi-kun will still think you are the most beautiful person in the world.� Neko rolled her eyes. �You�re such a romantic!� Mi-chan had to suppress a laugh. For Neko to say that to her�! �Anyway, I�ll help you pick out your clothes. I know where she�s taking you.� �I�ll probably hate it,� Neko predicted stubbornly. �Oh, yeah, I�m sure of it,� Mi-chan agreed with amused sarcasm. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The doorbell ran and the girls headed downstairs, Mi-chan giving Neko her last minute instructions. �Now you promised you�d give her a chance, so be nice.� All Tenshi really needed was a genuine chance. That was the only reason Mi-chan had agreed to this stupid deal in the first place. �Neko-chan, give her the benefit of the doubt, please. Don�t just assume you�ll hate everything she does.� Mi-chan sighed. Since Tenshi had kissed her and threatened Jasper, Neko hadn�t even considered giving her the slightest chance. But before that, she and Tenshi had (naturally) been getting along great. If Neko could forget for one second that she hated Tenshi, she�d probably fall right back in love with her in a heartbeat. �Let me see you.� She took one last look at Neko. She had chosen the elegant black dress Neko had worn to more fancy events. It was a good choice, not too tempting for Tenshi, but still stunning. �You look great,� she said with a push towards the door. �Have fun.� |
