Jackie's outfit
x

As soon as Jackie had read Campus Sweetheart's latest tweet about a single mixer, Jackie knew that he just HAD to go! He knew for a fact that Lia was already on board with the idea, but it would take a fair amount of convincing from Jackie and Lia to get Mai to go with them. Ultimately Jackie knew that they could get Mai to come, even if it was reluctant. Jackie was going to convince Mai and hype up the event to Lia while they spent the day shopping for something perfect to wear for the event. It definitely wasn't going to be suuuuuuuper formal, but Jackie wanted to look good!

Jackie was on his way to pick up his best friends, usually picking up Mai first and then Lia. Lia usually had to meet Jackie on the street corner because some of her family members weren't too fond of Jackie's "homosexual agenda". It wasn't a big deal to him though, homophobia lurked in every corner of the world.

He made the familiar drive to Mai's neighborhood and pulled into her driveway. Jackie had turned own his Get Pumped playlist down out of respect for Mai's parents and put the car into park before shooting her a text.

MSG to Mai Tai:
Hey girl, I'm here!

He waited patiently for Mai to come to the car as he hummed along to Beyonce's Flawless.

Mai's shirt&pants (with black tank underneath) x pink converse

Mai had no idea what she was getting into. As excited as Lia and Jackie were about the speed dating thing coming up - she didn't care what they called it, it was speed dating - Mai still had reservations. The three of them would be at separate tables...alone with strangers! Mai just didn't find it that appealing. They were trying to convince her to go and she was sure that her going along with them on the shopping trip to help the two of them look fabulous was just going to turn into her going as well. Mai was pretty sure she knew how it was going to work. Jackie or Lia would find the cutest outfit, urge Mai to try it on, tell her how awesome she looked, and then find a way to get it. Couldn't she just be the momma and chaperone or something? Mai's thoughts were interrupted when her phone went off. She saw it was Jackie letting her know he was there.

Message to JJ:
Coming!

Grabbing her small change purse, Mai quickly sent Lia a text to let her know she and Jackie would be there shortly. She had to get a head start leaving the house so she wouldn't be seen with them. Or at least Jackie. Mai's parents were much more liberal as far as being open to different people. However, the academic side was a different story. "See you later Dad," Mai called heading to the front door.

"Where are you going, Mai? Did you finish your homework?" Mr. Yamashita asked.

Mai sighed and took a few steps back. She turned her head down the hall and saw her dad reading the newspaper, as he often did on a weekend. "I only have one subject left, Dad. Jackie, Lia and I are going to the mall."

Her father briefly looked up from his paper. "Are you going to have a flawless record when we see your grades at the end of the semester? You know we had an agreement about your schedule and if I find out anything is lacking..."

"Of course not," Mai promised shaking her head. There was no way she was going to jeopardize her cooking major. She glanced to the door, then back at her father. "May I please go? Jackie's waiting outside..." After a pause, her father nodded. Mai thanked him and quickly ran out to meet Jackie. She could already see him grooving to the music in his car from her front step. Mai smiled and went to the car. "Hey JJ," she smiled getting into the passenger's seat. She gave him a hug before buckling in her seat belt. "I'm sorry I was late. My dad was asking about my homework and where I was going..." She would have kept going on, but she should know by now that Jackie understood and wouldn't hear anything of it anyway.

Jackie quickly returned Mai's hug as she got into his car. "Hey lovely! You look adorbs!" He complimented. He figured one of her parents would probably question her intensely before she left the house and his suspicions were confirmed by Mai's words. "Oh hun, it's all good! I know how strict your parents can be! I'm so honored that your parents let you go out with me so often!" Jackie admitted. He had only met Mr and Mrs. Yamashita a few times, but those few times he was on his very best behavior to show Mai's parents that he was a good influence.

"I cannot wait to go shopping. I already have a few ideas of some colors that would look suuuper cute on you!" Jackie chatted happily to his friend as they drove to Lia's house. It was a nice day so Jackie kept the windows rolled down with his music playing loudly. At the stop sign before Lia's street, Jacking turned to Mai.

"I knowwww you're iffy about this whole thing, but trust me! It'll be so much fun~ Maybe you'll meet a cute nerdy boy." Jackie offered, trying to butter Mai up as they arrived at Lia's house, well the house a few doors down.

MSG to Lia Bo Bia:
Get your cutie butt out here, I'm parked in the usual spot!!!

After he sent the text to Lia he looked at Mai, "You know that Lia is going to give you a much harder time about this than I am. Prepare yourself." Jackson advised with a grin.

Lia's hair x outfit

Mai tried not to blush, even though she was used to Jackie's compliments. He was always saying the nicest things to her and Lia. Not to mention he was the one who organized her closet. There was a section titled 'most fabulous according to Jackie'. And she was half sure that he was being extra nice because of how much he and Lia wanted Mai to join them. "Hey as far as they're considered you protect me from the bad boys who will otherwise distract me. Not to mention who put on the best performances when you come over. My mother thinks you're adorable and wonders I'll start dressing as nice as you instead of just dressing up my cakes."

There was the topic that Mai knew was going to come up sooner or later. Jackie wasted almost no time in talking about finding the perfect outfit for her. "I'm just here to be with you guys and comment on the outfits. This isn't..." She was going to say how speed dating wasn't her thing and she'd rather not be part of it in that way, but Jackie wasn't going to give her a chance. She knew he meant well and she loved him for it. When he brought up the idea of her meeting a nerdy boy, Mai shook her head and moved her fingers through her hair, keeping some strands from flying in her face as the wind blew past them. "Come on...nerds don't speed date. Well, I guess unless they have a Jackie of their own." She peaked out the window, of course not seeing Lia once they parked. Mai could text her a head's up that they were early as many times as she wanted but it just wasn't in Lia to be on time.

Even though Lia did hear her phone go off when Mai texted her, she was a little...occupied. Occupied in the form of her fluffy puppy Jonas. He was enjoying his belly rub so much that Lia just didn't want to leave him. Sure, her mother would be home but she'd be working. There was no time to play with a dog when there were articles to write. Someone Lia's mother was just no fun. Or a lot of the time. Whatever. "Who's a good JoJo? Who's my favorite boy?" Lia good, causing Jonas to wag his tail more and pant happily. How could she just leave this pup all by himself with no one to play with?

Then her phone went off again. It was Jackie. Lia pouted. "Sorry JoJo, I have to go. But I'll be back tonight ok? I'll give you all the attention you want and show you my new outfit!" She quickly grabbed her purse. Jonas turned so he was laying on his tummy, looking at Lia expectantly. He wanted more attention. "I'll see you tonight. I'll even try to find you something really nice!" She gave him another pat on the head. Lia headed to the door, but not before turning to blow her puppy a kiss. She didn't bother to yell to her mother that she was leaving, who was already hard at work. Lia was pretty sure her family knew she'd be out most of the day. "MY BOOS!" Lia squealed as soon as she saw Jackie's car. "We are going to have the best time shopping! Jackie is gonna look fa-ine with a capital fa, he'll be having the boys in the store fawning before he can even walk out!" She jumped into the back seat and hugged Jackie tight. Then Lia turned to Mai, pointing at her before giving her a hug. "And don't you dare say anything about not going. You are going and you will be thanking us! We are a threesome, not a twosome. You CANNOT break up the threesome over anything!"

As questionable as Lia's analogy was, there was nothing but truth when Jackie said Lia would give Mai a harder time about this. "I didn't say anything.... Yet," Mai hesitated.

Lia leaned back in the backseat and buckled up. She threw her hands up and shook her hips to the music. "To the mall! It's shoppy time! Heeeey!"

"Well I'm glad your mom loves me!" Jackie replied gleefully, at least one of his best friend's parents liked him. "And girl, I may be a fashionable guy, but decorating cakes like you do takes serious skill that I lack!" He added, praising Mai's talent. Jackie rolled his eyes at Mai, "Don't think you're getting off the hook that easy. You're getting an outfit too~" Jackie replied in a sing song voice.

A blush crept across Jackie's cheeks, "Oh Mai Tai, I'll make sure I find you a cute nerd, then you have my blessing." He commented. He was less worried about Mai going off with some stranger at the event, however he was incredibly worried that Lia would end up doing so.
"Man, she always takes foreverrrrr!" Jackie complained to Mai, and as if Lia read his mind, she slid into the car and leaned in to give Jackie a hug. He returned the hug and started up his car again. "Oh puh-lease, you two both look so damn cute today, as you do everyday! Boys will be begging for your numbers." Jackie replied as he drove to the mall. It was about a ten minute drive from Lia's house.

Jackie couldn't help but chuckle at Lia's analogy. "If we ever did have a threesome though...it would be very interesting to say the least." He chimed in playfully.
They had arrived to the mall and Jackie found a spot closest to the mall entrance. He shut off the car and unlocked the doors, quickly getting out of the car to open the door for Mai and Lia.
"Alright to make things fair, we each take turns picking a store to check out, sound good?" Jackie asked his gal pals.

"But you were the one who came up with the flavors and color scheme for Lia's birthday last year," Mai pointed out. White pre-made cake mix, heart-shaped sprinkles, dyed with pink food coloring and creating pink champagne frosting topped with the cutest little umbrellas was next to genius. If only they'd had more time to prepare they could have made a cake from scratch and really have seen what they could do!

"Oooooh that reminds me, I'm vetoing Crumbs from our mall trips forever!" Lia said. "After those cupcakes last year, nothing from Crumbs can compare. Anywhere else in the food court is fair game cause you know that is the place where boys will be lining up! A couple of hunks for Jackie, a couple of hunks for me...and Mai can have a nerd or two." Actually, Lia kind of liked the idea of the three of them having a threesome. If Jackie and Mai ever agreed to it, Lia would certainly not be opposed. The only downside was that someone who wasn't Jackie might get suspicious if Lia were having too much fun with a girl involved. Maybe they should just hold off on the threesome for a while....

"I don't know about the threesome analogy though. Did it really have to be that?" Mai asked, although she did expect it from Lia.

"Oh, fine. Jackie and I will find someone else to join us. You can just watch so you'll be ready for the next time!" Lia replied.

Mai's face turned bright red and she hit her head. The only bright side was that Lia and Jackie were the reasons she was completely ok being around people with no filter. Once they got to the mall, Mai thanked Jackie for opening the door and Lia wasted no time attaching herself to one of Jackie's arms. "So how should we decide the order? Three-way rock paper scissors, roll a dice on Google, use the mall directory to determine the proper order of store to hit...?" Mai asked.

"Problem solved!" Lia piped. "Aeropastel has a sale today,. More sales mean more clothes! And, it's right next to Sephora, I have been needing some new eyeshadow!"
