The Meaning of True Love Written by: SeungLee

Disclaimers: I don't own Digimon it belongs to Saban and Toei, but I sure wish I did.

Giving a shout out to miss Jane aka LiL-AnImE-LuVeR, she's been a great help with ideas for this story.So she is basically like my Co-writer.

Chapter One - The News

A tall blonde with deep cerulean blue eyes was playing away on a red electric guitar on his bed. The blonde was trying to write a new song for his band, the Teenage Wolves. However lyrics nor the music were not flowing into his brain to his fingers and to his mouth. The guitar still being strapped over his shoulder he slouched over and placed his face into his hands. He sighed in defeat in trying to get something into his head.

He heard his front door to his apartment open, and placed the guitar back into his case to walk into the living room. He turned the corner to see his younger brother, who was almost the spitting image of him, blonde hair and cerulean blue eyes. The younger one turned to face his older brother with a warm smile.

"Hey Matt!"

"Hey there, T.K," Yamato "Matt" Ishida, holder of the crest of friendship greeted his younger brother Takeru "T.K." Takaishi, who is holder of crest of hope. "What brings you over?"

"Well, not much, just wondering what you were up to, besides Gabumon looks really bored." T.K. motioned to his brother's digimon partner that was asleep in front of the television set.

"Bored or asleep?" Matt asked with a chuckle as he took the spot next to T.K. on the couch. "I guess one led to another eh?"

T.K. laughed along with his older brother, it was great to know that they lived closer to each other so they could visit each other more often. Their parents were under more friendlier terms than at their divorce and during their first adventure into the digital world. T.K. glanced down into his arms to see his sleeping digimon partner, Patamon.

"So what brings you over?" Matt asked as he leaned into the couch.

"I wanted to ask you something," T.K. told his brother with a serious look on his face.

"What is it?" Matt asked suddenly concerned.

"Did you ever tell Mimi about you and Sora?" T.K. asked as he turned his attention back to the television screen that was just playing reruns.

"Well, Sora said that she told Mimi about us and told me not to worry," Matt said simply to his younger brother wondering what he was up to.

"Is that what she told you?" T.K. asked with an arched eyebrow and to see his older brother just nod his head in response. "I hate to break it to you bro, but Sora never told Mimi."

Matt wore a confused look on his face, which was more confused on why his younger brother was asking about his former relationship to the bearer of the crest of Love. "What do you mean? Why would it matter if Mimi knew or not? I mean apparently she knew during the final battle."

"Kari and I told Mimi about your relationship with Sora," T.K. sighed as he remembered the princess of pink that he thought of like an older sister when he was younger and still does. "You see, Mimi liked you and didn't want to say anything because she was going to leave for New York."

"She.she did?" Matt asked shocked to hear the news he was receiving.

"Yea, she did." T.K. responded as he turned to meet his brother's gaze. "She was heart broken to hear it from us, and to know that her best friends didn't tell her broke her even more."

Matt sighed as he slouched over as he rested his arms over his legs and made it seem like he was more interested in the floor, "So why are you bringing this up now?"

T.K. took a deep breath and told his brother the news he had heard from his father and from Mimi earlier in that week. "Mimi is coming back for her senior year."

"So next year?" Matt asked as his gaze returned to his younger brother.

"Wrong," T.K. stated with a smirk. "This Friday her plane arrives. She got to take a few exams and skip a grade."

"She's coming back this Friday!" Matt nearly shouted but it was enough to wake up the digimon but they stayed silent as the two brothers conversed.

"Yup, and she's going to living in the room across from yours." T.K. stated blandly as his brother was slowly coming out of his shock.

"Wh.what?" Matt asked trying to regain some composure.

"Apparently, our dad and Mimi's dad are good friends from high school. When Mimi told her father she wanted to come back, he said ok but he got to choose who she stayed with." T.K. shrugged, "I think it's weird but hey what can I say?"

"So, why wasn't I told?" Matt asked.

"Well, considering you've locked yourself up in your room most of the time, Dad figured if he told me I could tell you." T.K. gave him a confused face as Matt was smiling almost like he didn't know he was. "Matt."

"Yeah?"

"Mimi doesn't know you broke up with Sora." T.K. added as he stood up from the couch and headed for the door.

"What do you mean?" Matt asked as he turned himself around to see T.K. He leaned over the top edge of the couch, "Didn't you tell her?"

T.K. shook his head, "No, I haven't had much contact with her."

"Didn't she like that one guy, whatever his name was.the really bleached blonde from New York anyway?" Matt said a little envious even though he did not know why.

"Nope, actually. If I remember correctly she didn't date anyone in New York. She only had eyes on a certain rebel in the group." T.K. chuckled, "If I remember correctly.the rebel always had feelings for the princess."

Matt blushed lightly, he had to admit he had feelings for her. When she left he felt empty not knowing why, but when Sora said she wanted to date him.he said ok. However, in all reality he has realized over the year was that he was trying to replace the emptiness in his heart by using her.

Matt sighed and mumbled to himself, "Great! So when she comes here she'll think I'm still with Sora???"

"Yup," T.K. nodded and placed a piece of paper on the table that was by the door. "Here's the terminal number and the time to pick her up. I'll talk to you later."

Matt watched T.K. go out the door, but he wanted to ask more questions but his younger brother had already left. Matt sighed and walked over to the table where he left the information. Matt looked at the paper and sighed, "Mimi Tachikawa."

Matt glanced at the clock and ran into his room to look at his computer. He started opening up his instant messaging windows to see if the certain pink princess was online. However to his luck she was not, he closed the windows down. Matt turned to look at the group picture that was taken one from their first adventure and the second right after the final battle.

The digidestined had been able to go back and forth between the worlds. Mostly to escape reality and let their digimon go home once in a while. He knew Palmon spent most of her time in the digital world and Mimi visited her often, it was easier that way so Palmon didn't have to breath in all that pollution.

A smile played onto his lips, ~ I wonder what Mimi is going to be like? Probably the same 'ol Mimi. ~
