Once upon a time there was a princess named Mimi. She was very rude and inconsiderate, but despite this she had many friends. One day she got angry and locked them out in the snow. A wizard named Gennai walked by. He saw her friends and became angry. Gennai told Mimi he would give her a beautiful rose if she allowed her friends to come in. Mimi refused because the rose was yellow, instead of pink.
Gennai decided to reconfigure Mimi so that no matter what outfit she wore, it would always be mismatching. He would give her a chance to avoid this fate. If she found a true love by the time the last petal of the same rose he had offered her fell, she would be cursed no longer. Mimi screamed, and pleaded, and threw a fit. But nothing would change Gennai's mind. He reconfigured both her and all her friends, and left.
A town that wasn't really far away:
"Look, there goes the computer geek!" a boy cried out. The comments were directed at Koshiro Izumi. Izzy blanked out the insults, continuing on his way. He didn't really care what they though. They had minuscule brains, and weren't worth his time. He sighed. Izzy only had one true friend, Jyou Kido. Who was leaving in... ten minutes!
Izzy raced along the streets, coming to a halt by Jyou's horse. His friend was a wimp, and couldn't stand the sight of blood, yet he still wanted to be a doctor. He was leaving for a conference. Izzy watched as Jyou pulled out of sight, and then sat down and pulled out his laptop.
The creepy forest between the town and Mimi's castle:
"Why did I ever agree to do this," Jyou moaned, looking around the dark forest. "There are evil digimon here, I could be eaten!"
Just then a glowing pair of eyes appeared in the shadows. An evil digimon! Jyou's horse bolted, and Jyou himself was tossed on the ground. He gasped, and ran. If he had looked back, he might have seen the soft, red eyed bunny step out of the bushes.
After what seemed like hours, Jyou came to a set of pink gates. He stared in awe at the sights. A large pink statue of a girl graced the courtyard, and a huge pink castle rose behind it. "Well, I'm cold. I might as well go in," Jyou commented. He stepped inside the gates, tripped, and lost his glasses.
The castle:
"Look, it's a stranger," a voice remarked from the shadows.
"Could it be THE ONE?" another voice replied.
"Too stringy for Mimi's tastes," the first answered calmly.
"Hello?" Jyou called hesitantly.
"Oh, lets help him," exclaimed the voice, as she entered the light. It was a reddish cat. Her companion, a handsome harmonica, reprimanded her sharply.
"Kathleen, you know how risky that would be! Besides, if he's not THE ONE, he should just go away."
The cat stuck her tongue out at the harmonica before walking down to Jyou. "Hello stranger. Who are you?" she asked sweetly.
"Aggggggggg! A cat! I'm allergic to cats!" Jyou yelled, backing up.
"Well that's the last time I try to help a person who comes here," Kathleen said huffily. She turned around and began to slink away.
"No wait! A talking cat? I must be delusional," Jyou muttered.
Matt, the harmonica, sighed. Kathleen had blown their cover, so he might as well come out, before she blew up on the poor kid. "Cool your jets," he said to Kathleen, stepping (if a harmonica can step) out of the shadows. "He probably didn't mean any harm by it."
Jyou dropped to his knees, staring at the two creatures. Kathleen turned back around. "Before I was quite rudely interrupted, I was going to say welcome, and we thought you might be cold, so we though-"
"We thought?" Matt hissed angrily, "We thought he could go away before Mimi freaks out at us!"
Kathleen glared at him before turning back to Jyou. "So you wanna warm up and everything before Matt forces you to leave again? Follow me." She slipped down a pink hall way to a pink room with a fire place and large pink chair. (This is Mimi we're talking about) "Sit. And we haven't been introduced. I'm Kathleen, and this harmonica is Yamato, call him Matt. The kendo stick over there is Iori, just call him Cody though, and the basketball is Takeru, a.k.a. Tk. Lesse. The flashlight is Datsuki, or Davis, and he likes Hikari, the camera. She doesn't like him back. Sora is the blanket, and Taichi, or Tai, is the hair spray. Ken is the sun glasses over there, and Miyako, or Yolei is the, ummm, what are you again Yolei?"
"I'm a brush," Yolei answered flatly. "Why that guy made me a brush I can't understand, but none the less..."
"Yah. And that's about it," Kathleen interrupted. "So if you'll..."
"WHO'S BEEN SITTING IN MY CHAIR?" a voice bellowed from behind them. "I'LL LOCK THEM UP AND MAKE THEM WEAR CLOTHES THAT DON'T MATCH!"
"Right..." Kathleen said quietly, "How could I forget Mimi. Let's get out of here before she blows her stack!"
In minutes everyone Jyou had just met had vanished into various corners. Leaving him to face the dreaded Mimi. He looked her up and down... and fainted. She narrowed brown eyes, and ordered him thrown into the dungeon.
~~~
Izzy sighed, setting down his computer. Jyou had been gone for a really long time, and he was getting worried. "I might as well go and look for him," he commented to himself, picking up his laptop. This said, he walked for a really long time, coming at last to Joe's horse. He sighed. Jyou was nowhere in sight. He walked more, considering turning back and emailing Jyou instead. At long last he came to the same pink gates Jyou had found, and saw Jyou's glasses laying inside. Curious, he walked in, and stepped into the halls, and heard voices.
"Is this THE ONE?" the voice (Kathleen) asked. "And are we ever going to bolding those two words?"
Izzy walked up and saw the harmonica and cat arguing. As they continued to fight, they wandered away. In the innocently general direction of the pink prison where Jyou was being held. At last, they appeared in front of the door, leaving Izzy with a clear view of Jyou who was still unconscious on the floor. Naturally, this is the point where Mimi made her appearance.
"This guy is boring, and he clashes with my decor!" Mimi would have thrown out Jyou right then and there, but she remembered something her father had once told her. 'Mimi, do nothing without getting the better half of the bargain. This is the way to happiness' She decided that she would throw out Jyou and tell the red haired boy that he had to stay. He looked smart. This decided, she informed them of her plans. "Excuse me," she said cooly, but Izzy made no sign of noticing her. "Excuse me," she repeated louder. Izzy still didn't reply, he was looking something up on his laptop. Mimi decided it wasn't worthwhile to wait for him to pay attention to her, and just continued. "I have your friend hostage. I will release him if you promise to stay with me forever!"
Izzy didn't look up.
"Hello!" Mimi said angrily. "This is the point you agree to do this to save his life." She grabbed Izzy's computer from him and held it above his head.
"Hey, give that back!" Izzy yelled, acknowledging her for the first time.
"NO, you have to stay here with me forever, or I'll smash your laptop," she told him sulkily. And she called some people to take Jyou and his laptop away. Izzy crumbled to the floor. She felt slightly guilty. "What's wrong?"
"You- you didn't let me say goodbye!" he yelled, bursting into tears. "I may never see my poor laptop again, and you didn't let me say goodbye, or even log off!"
Mimi fell over. He cared about his computer that much? She stepped back into the shadows. "You just going to leave him here?" Tai asked her. "If he's going to be here forever, shouldn't you give him somewhere nice to stay?"
Mimi agreed, and lead Izzy down to a room painted purple! Yes, purple. Everyone else had found out that he would be staying in the palace, and had worked very hard to remake a room into something not pink, just for him. Unfortunately, they had run out of paint, and so it was just purple, but it's the thought that counts.
Izzy looked around the room, and dropped onto the bed. Mimi left, snorting at his rudeness. He thought he was alone for several minutes, and then a soft voice spoke. It was the cat. "Hi. Are you going to be rude to me too?" she asked.
Izzy blinked several times, staring at her. "You're... talking," he stammered.
"My name's Kathleen, what's yours. Are you THE ONE?" she asked.
"The one?"
"No, THE ONE." she replied, opening her mouth to say more. The door creaked open. Yolei stood there, straight backed.
"Excuse me, Lady Mimi wishes to have your presence at her dinner," she said calmly.
Izzy wasn't normally rude. But Mimi made him angry. "Thanks a lot, but tell your lady I refuse," he said, startling a giggle that didn't go at all with Kathleen's feline appearance.
Yolei swelled with anger, but before she could speak, Kathleen had shut the door on her. She smiled slightly at Izzy. "So tell me all about the outside world. Has Microsoft come up with anything past Windows 99? Did the Sims come up with a new extension pack?" Izzy felt somehow very comfortable with this cat, and he began to speak.
~~~
"Where is he?" Mimi bellowed, pacing the room repeatedly. "He should have been down half an hour ago!"
The door creaked open. Yolei stepped in, looking slightly bashful. "He says he isn't coming," she reported.
"What?" Mimi yelled fiercely. "He can't do that! He's my prisoner!" She sat down, sighing. "Why won't he come?"
"Well," commented Tai, "You don't act very nice."
"How do I act nice?"
"You could start by smiling some," suggested Cody.
"And give him things he likes," added Sora.
"And don't yell so much," reminded Davis.
Mimi scrunched her brow in an attempt to remember all the information, and walked up to Izzy's room herself. She might have forgotten where it was, but the bright purple was hard to miss. Smiling as sweetly as she could, she stopped her voice from raising before talking through the closed door. "Excuse me person, would you join me for dinner," at a look from Sora she added, "please?"
"No," Izzy replied angrily. "Leave me alone," he added.
Mimi got really angry, so she smacked Tai through the wall using Cody, and ran away. Everyone else sighed, there would be no transforming back tonight. They walked down to the kitchen, and decided to hold a meeting.
~~~
Unknown to them, Izzy had gotten bored of his room. He wandered around for quite a long time, and came at last to the kitchens, where everyone was talking about what they'd do if they had real hands. "Hi," Izzy said softly. Everyone was really bored, so they decided to have some fun, and make a really big deal of the whole thing.
They all tried to push Izzy into the dining room, but they were too short, and all they did was knock him over. He got up and walked in himself. Then everyone bustled around, singing "Be Our Guest" in off key tones. They sounded pretty bad, because there were no more than five people on the right note at any time.
After supper Izzy wasn't tired, so they decided to give him a tour. "And over here is the pink washroom. It has a pink bath tub, pink towels, and lots of pink bubble bath. Over there is the pink garden with lots of pink plants. Over there is Mimi's room. Oops. We weren't supposed to tell you that."
Izzy was very curious about Mimi's room. He was an only child, and had never been in a girl's room, or even around girls very much. Tk noticed the look in his eye, and stood in front of the door. "You don't want to go in there. After all, there's a big... big... um."
"A big library over there," Sora finished. Izzy sighed, and pretended to follow them. Once they had rounded a corner, he turned back, and walked quickly into Mimi's room. It was almost all pink. Big pink stuffed animals, a pink bed, but there was one rose. It stood out brightly. It was yellow.
Izzy moved, entranced, towards it. And then Mimi appeared. Her outfit was horrible! A lime green top countered with a hideous pink skirt. She brandished a stuffed animal like she was going to attack. Izzy took this all in, and ran.
He didn't stop until he was in the middle of nowhere, and it was then he heard a sound. Evil digimon. Instinctively, he began fighting, a losing battle. Just as he was knocked out, the inhabitants of the castle arrived. They fiercely knocked the digimon back. Mimi watched them calmly, sitting by Izzy's limp form. As he awoke, she had an idea. 'Tell him you did it. Then maybe he'll fall in love with you.' And she did. Izzy saw a burn mark on her shoulder. It had been caused by Mimi falling asleep while curling her hair. Naturally he thought it had been from the fight.
When they got back to the castle, Izzy insisted on treating the burn. At first Mimi yelled and slapped him whenever he went near, but soon he was able to clean and bandage it. As he finished, he went straight to sleep.
Mimi called Kathleen and Sora for an emergency conference. "I want him to love me," she explained, and Kathleen and Sora exchanged a look.
Sora started to explain love wasn't bribed or forced, but Kathleen stopped her. Then Kathleen mentioned the fact Izzy was fascinated in computers. Naturally, this gave Mimi a plan.
The next morning:
Mimi had woken early, with the attempt of making the room, coated in dust, ready. At any rate she ordered everyone else to clean it up. Then she herself walked into Izzy's room and dragged him out of bed. She covered his eyes and half dragged him down the hall. They came to a room, and Mimi uncovered Izzy's eyes.
It was a giant COMPUTER LAB! Entirely pink, but a computer lab none the less. Izzy was ecstatic, and hugged Mimi tightly, despite her horrible clothes.
From then on, they became friends. Izzy taught Mimi how to surf the net and upgrade her computers. Mimi taught Izzy... well lets just stick with Izzy taught Mimi. They were very close by the time Mimi showed Izzy a secret... A digivice. It let her see whatever she wanted. Izzy examined it closely, and asked to see his computer.
It showed the laptop, covered in dust, it's screen faded under the layers. Izzy tried hard not to cry as he looked at what had been his closest companion. Mimi saw this, and it nearly broke her heart. Her first true friend, and she knew the one she loved, so badly hurt. "I release you," she said softly.
Izzy turned to her, smiling weakly. "I'll come and visit," he reminded, and she pressed the digivice into his hand.
"Just in case," she said, tears in her eyes.
He hesitated, then kissed her cheek, slipping a piece of paper in her hand as he walked out. She opened it dreamily. prodigious@hotmail.com.
Izzy's town:
Jyou banged loudly on the wall, yelling horsly. He had been locked up for a really long time, an attempt to lure Izzy into working for some wacko lady named Erion. Erion had a huge, successful computer company, but she wanted more. And Izzy was the prize any decent computer company would want.
"Jyou?" a soft voice murmured. Izzy stood on the other side of the door. "Are you ok?" Jyou nearly passed out in relief.
"Can you bust me out?" he stammered. "I haven't had anything to eat for two days. I'm allergic to everything they serve!"
Izzy sat down, scrambling the system to break Jyou free. Just as he was finishing, Erion came up behind him. "Well, well, well. If it isn't our hacker in residence. I presume you want to know why your friend is locked up?" Izzy nodded mutely. "Well he came into the town hall several nights ago talking about a horrible, terrible girl with mismatched clothes! And we all know how crazy that is, so we locked him in the clanker."
Izzy snickered. "But it's true. Yet Mimi isn't a horrible, terrible girl. She's very sweet."
Erion leaned in. "I could have you thrown in as well, for lying and all. But if you work for my company, I'll let you go free, and I'll throw your friend in the bargain."
"But that's deceitful! Mimi truly exists! And I can prove it," he cried. And he whipped out Mimi's digivice. "Show me Mimi please," he told it.
And Mimi appeared on the screen, sulking, and throwing Davis across the room. "I guess she's having a bad day?" Izzy stammered as everyone gasped.
"She is evil!" one villagers yelled.
"We must kill the horrible, terrible girl with the mismatched clothes!" they yelled, throwing Izzy in the cell with Jyou, and storming off with Mimi's digivice.
"We have to help him," Cody murmured, looking at Izzy sitting sulkily on the floor.
"What we need is a plan!" Kari announced.
"But what?" asked both Tk and Davis.
All three (Davis was staring at Kari) looked at the large boulder. "You know..."
"If we got that boulder moving..."
"It would knock the wall down..." And so Cody hit Tk into the boulder, and the boulder moved down the hill, picking up speed until it knocked the wall off. Jyou came out stammering about how the boulder had almost taken his head off.
Izzy seized his friend by the shoulder. "Jyou! We were on the other side of the room!" he reminded.
"That's all well and good, but the villagers are headed towards Mimi's castle!" Cody reminded. The six rushed off to aid their friend.
Mimi's castle:
Everyone was tensed for the attack. Tai, dubbing himself the natural leader, walked around giving everyone orders. Kathleen, being the one who was best at formulating strategies, walked right behind him, changing everything into plans that would work.
Mimi sat up in her room, mooning over a picture Kari had taken of her and Izzy. She heard everyone else prepare to fight, but refused to make any attempt of her own. She missed Izzy too much.
The fighting was beginning downstairs. She didn't look up. Kathleen had made the battle plans so everything would be fine. Then the door burst open, revealing Erion. "You will die," the woman hissed. "I cannot reach Izumi. You shall be the reason he joins me!"
The two woman started fighting. Mimi felt like she was winning, and Erion had backed up against the balcony. "Mimi!" a voice called from behind her. Izzy. She turned around, and ran towards him. Erion stumbled backwards, and drew out a gun. She blasted a hole through Mimi's back as she fell over the edge.
"Mimi!" Izzy yelled, running over to her, and turning her over. He began to cry hysterically. "Mimi! Don't go! I- I- I love you!"
Mimi was surrounded by a glowing light. (Pink, naturally) She rose high into the air, and her clothes changed, becoming a decent outfit. (Pink, naturally) She drifted slowly down into Izzy's arms. "Did you mean it?" she asked. Izzy, awed, could only nod. "Then I love you too."
Everyone else transformed back into humans as well.
Conclusion:
Izzy and Mimi ended up getting married, and Izzy and Kathleen became best friends, and Davis never got Kari, Tk did. And they lived happily every after.

"Well that's the last time I try to help a person who comes here," Kathleen said huffily. She turned around and began to slink away.
"No wait! A talking cat? I must be delusional," Jyou muttered.
Matt, the harmonica, sighed. Kathleen had blown their cover, so he might as well come out, before she blew up on the poor kid. "Cool your jets," he said to Kathleen, stepping (if a harmonica can step) out of the shadows. "He probably didn't mean any harm by it."

"Well," commented Tai, "You don't act very nice."
"How do I act nice?"
"You could start by smiling some," suggested Cody.
"And give him things he likes," added Sora.
"And don't yell so much," reminded Davis.
Mimi scrunched her brow in an attempt to remember all the information, and walked up to Izzy's room herself. She might have forgotten where it was, but the bright purple was hard to miss. Smiling as sweetly as she could, she stopped her voice from raising before talking through the closed door. "Excuse me person, would you join me for dinner," at a look from Sora she added, "please?"
"No," Izzy replied angrily. "Leave me alone," he added.
Mimi got really angry, so she smacked Tai through the wall using Cody, and ran away. Everyone else sighed, there would be no transforming back tonight. They walked down to the kitchen, and decided to hold a meeting.

'Tell him you did it. Then maybe he'll fall in love with you.' And she did. Izzy saw a burn mark on her shoulder. It had been caused by Mimi falling asleep while curling her hair. Naturally he thought it had been from the fight.
When they got back to the castle, Izzy insisted on treating the burn. At first Mimi yelled and slapped him whenever he went near, but soon he was able to clean and bandage it. As he finished, he went straight to sleep.
Mimi called Kathleen and Sora for an emergency conference. "I want him to love me," she explained, and Kathleen and Sora exchanged a look.
Sora started to explain love wasn't bribed or forced, but Kathleen stopped her. Then Kathleen mentioned the fact Izzy was fascinated in computers. Naturally, this gave Mimi a plan.
The next morning:
Mimi had woken early, with the attempt of making the room, coated in dust, ready. At any rate she ordered everyone else to clean it up. Then she herself walked into Izzy's room and dragged him out of bed. She covered his eyes and half dragged him down the hall. They came to a room, and Mimi uncovered Izzy's eyes.
It was a giant COMPUTER LAB! Entirely pink, but a computer lab none the less. Izzy was ecstatic, and hugged Mimi tightly, despite her horrible clothes.
From then on, they became friends. Izzy taught Mimi how to surf the net and upgrade her computers. Mimi taught Izzy... well lets just stick with Izzy taught Mimi. They were very close by the time Mimi showed Izzy a secret... A digivice. It let her see whatever she wanted. Izzy examined it closely, and asked to see his computer.
It showed the laptop, covered in dust, it's screen faded under the layers. Izzy tried hard not to cry as he looked at what had been his closest companion. Mimi saw this, and it nearly broke her heart. Her first true friend, and she knew the one she loved, so badly hurt. "I release you," she said softly.
Izzy turned to her, smiling weakly. "I'll come and visit," he reminded, and she pressed the digivice into his hand.
"Just in case," she said, tears in her eyes.
He hesitated, then kissed her cheek, slipping a piece of paper in her hand as he walked out. She opened it dreamily. prodigious@hotmail.com.
Izzy's town:
Jyou banged loudly on the wall, yelling horsly. He had been locked up for a really long time, an attempt to lure Izzy into working for some wacko lady named Erion. Erion had a huge, successful computer company, but she wanted more. And Izzy was the prize any decent computer company would want.
"Jyou?" a soft voice murmured. Izzy stood on the other side of the door. "Are you ok?" Jyou nearly passed out in relief.
"Can you bust me out?" he stammered. "I haven't had anything to eat for two days. I'm allergic to everything they serve!"
Izzy sat down, scrambling the system to break Jyou free. Just as he was finishing, Erion came up behind him. "Well, well, well. If it isn't our hacker in residence. I presume you want to know why your friend is locked up?" Izzy nodded mutely. "Well he came into the town hall several nights ago talking about a horrible, terrible girl with mismatched clothes! And we all know how crazy that is, so we locked him in the clanker."
Izzy snickered. "But it's true. Yet Mimi isn't a horrible, terrible girl. She's very sweet."
Erion leaned in. "I could have you thrown in as well, for lying and all. But if you work for my company, I'll let you go free, and I'll throw your friend in the bargain."
"But that's deceitful! Mimi truly exists! And I can prove it," he cried. And he whipped out Mimi's digivice. "Show me Mimi please," he told it.
And Mimi appeared on the screen, sulking, and throwing Davis across the room. "I guess she's having a bad day?" Izzy stammered as everyone gasped.
"She is evil!" one villagers yelled.
"We must kill the horrible, terrible girl with the mismatched clothes!" they yelled, throwing Izzy in the cell with Jyou, and storming off with Mimi's digivice.
"We have to help him," Cody murmured, looking at Izzy sitting sulkily on the floor.
"What we need is a plan!" Kari announced.
"But what?" asked both Tk and Davis.
All three (Davis was staring at Kari) looked at the large boulder. "You know..."
"If we got that boulder moving..."
"It would knock the wall down..." And so Cody hit Tk into the boulder, and the boulder moved down the hill, picking up speed until it knocked the wall off. Jyou came out stammering about how the boulder had almost taken his head off.
Izzy seized his friend by the shoulder. "Jyou! We were on the other side of the room!" he reminded.
"That's all well and good, but the villagers are headed towards Mimi's castle!" Cody reminded. The six rushed off to aid their friend.
Mimi's castle:
Everyone was tensed for the attack. Tai, dubbing himself the natural leader, walked around giving everyone orders. Kathleen, being the one who was best at formulating strategies, walked right behind him, changing everything into plans that would work.
Mimi sat up in her room, mooning over a picture Kari had taken of her and Izzy. She heard everyone else prepare to fight, but refused to make any attempt of her own. She missed Izzy too much.
The fighting was beginning downstairs. She didn't look up. Kathleen had made the battle plans so everything would be fine. Then the door burst open, revealing Erion. "You will die," the woman hissed. "I cannot reach Izumi. You shall be the reason he joins me!"
The two woman started fighting. Mimi felt like she was winning, and Erion had backed up against the balcony. "Mimi!" a voice called from behind her. Izzy. She turned around, and ran towards him. Erion stumbled backwards, and drew out a gun. She blasted a hole through Mimi's back as she fell over the edge.
"Mimi!" Izzy yelled, running over to her, and turning her over. He began to cry hysterically. "Mimi! Don't go! I- I- I love you!"
Mimi was surrounded by a glowing light. (Pink, naturally) She rose high into the air, and her clothes changed, becoming a decent outfit. (Pink, naturally) She drifted slowly down into Izzy's arms. "Did you mean it?" she asked. Izzy, awed, could only nod. "Then I love you too."
Everyone else transformed back into humans as well.
Conclusion:
Izzy and Mimi ended up getting married, and Izzy and Kathleen became best friends, and Davis never got Kari, Tk did. And they lived happily every after.
The end
