Author's Note : This is my first so I hope you will not be too scathing! And well - If I owned Digimon, you wouldn't have been reading this! (That's politician speak for - I dun own Digimon so don't get jumpy!)

I hope you like this but if you don't then i suggest you don't read the remaining of it.. alright?

So now that we have formalities out of the way - Let the show begin!


Beginnings : Chapter 1 : A Cold And A Cake

"Urgh! Nasty headache!"

"You're telling me? You've been sneezing ever since you set foot in my place."

"It's not exactly my fault that your colognes and parfums bring out the worst... *SNEEZE!*"

"You know what you need, Sora?"

"I..."

"Shush - it was rhetoric!" I opened the fridge and poured out two glasses - "Chocolate milk!" I proclaimed.

She groaned "Uh, Mimi-chan, I don't think you realised but I have a cold and sore throat."

"Oh yeah..." Geez, I can be pretty blonde at times... Ooooh! That's why everyone calls me a blonde in school! Gosh - I so need a personality makeover... Maybe I could dye my hair pink - oh wait - I already did that a few years ago... and they are pink...

"Hot chocolate sounds perfect about now." Sora stated while dropping her bookbag on the kitchen floor and collapsing on the nearest chair. Sometimes I think (no laughing!) that she overworks herself. She's taken all the possible classes in college, goes for tennis daily and even helps out at her mother's flower shop. But beat this - she missed her last prom for a scholarship test which she didn't even need! And her boyfriend, Yamato had asked her to go with him PLUS dedicated this song to her Talk about being blonde!

I opened the cabinets and cupboards looking for hot chocolate ingredients "Oh look Sora!" I squealed "I found flour!" and she gave me one of those quizzical, heck-were-you-even-listening-when-I-said-hot-chocolate? looks before blowing her nose and going back to solving some sums.

"Guess what's better than hot chocolate?" I prodded only to see her shrug carelessly. Never-mind - I'm still all enthu! "Chocolate Caaaaaaaaaaaaaake!" I shouted gleefully.

"Sorry Meems," she grunted "but I'm definitely not baking."

"Tat's okay, 'cos I am!"

Sora literally jumped out of her chair - "WHAT!" - her eyes were as wide as my biggest chandelier earrings. "Mimi and cooking... In the same sentence?" she mumbled

"Yep! I feel like it and technically Sora-chan it's not cooking; this is baking."

"Whoa Mimi..." she shook her head and turned to Palmon - "Palmon did Mimi-chan fall on her head? Or has someone kidnapped and replaced her?"

Palmon gave a toothy grin - "Don't know Sora-sama. Lately she has gotten into this cooking craze. Not that I mind. Why- last night she made Pasta in Putanesca sauce! Mmmm..." I smiled cheerily; yup, even Daddy had loved it! In fact he said he'd redo the whole kitchen and get me some exposure too - though I'm not exactly sure what that means.

"You've got to be kidding me..." Sora's eyes were still totally huge and both Piyomon and Palmon were having a great time observing the little-miss. Gosh she looked pretty bad, I realised. She had puffy bags under her eyes and her skin was also starting to dull. Poor thing. Plus that abso sick cold had made her nose and eyes so runny. LOL she kinda looked like Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. She so needed that cake!

And I guess - Piyomon agreed too : "Mimi are you, please, getting started soon?"

"Sure thing!" I was so happy - not cos Sora's so haggard but cos I could make her happy. I couldn't wait to have her try out my new recipe! Well - I didn't have one but I was 100% sure it's taste like hell - I mean - Heaven!
