Lunchtime at the New York's Bronx high school 1 year after the events of the 2nd digimon adventure.
Mimi's Pov
"Wow, it seems to be something going on today that I must have forgotten about" I thought to myself. "There are some girls sitting close to me that are talking about what might be going on, I'll listen to find out whats going on."
"Hey did you hear that Genius, rich kid Max Johnson is having a formal dinner at his house tomorrow?" The first girl said.
"I know, they say only 1 person gets to be invited to the party... Oh my god there he is walking this way" The second one said and they went
The boy they were looking at had short clean cut blond hair, he seemed to be my height, deep blue eyes, he had short rounded chin, with beautiful facial features, wore rounded rectangular round black framed glasses, and he looked like a normal teenager. He stopped and sat down next to me.
"Hi I'm Max Johnson, you must be Mimi Tachikawa I've heard about you from many of the students around here" he said to me as he held his hand out for me to shake. I shook his hand and his handshake felt gentlemanly.
"Yes that's me, why haven't I seen you around here before?" I asked.
"I moved here from L.A. three days ago my father is a big business man so I move around a lot of the time," he answered.
"Wow, how was it there?" I asked.
"Well considering that I was the new guy there and all the celebs go to the school where I was, being mocked for how smart I was, in other words um... not very good," he answered. "I also heard you were from Tokyo, Japan, is that correct?"
"Yes, that is true," I answered.
"That's great, I wanted to know if you wanted to come to a formal dinner tomorrow at my home?" He asked handing me an invitation, that was gold worded and outlined.
"Sure, it will be my first time attending a Formal dinner in America," I said excited.
"I'll be sure to make sure it will be a great time for you, all you need to know is on the invite," he said shaking my hand once more, getting up and saying "I hope to see you there."
After he left those girls stared at me in total disbelief that I was the one chosen to go to the dinner. I opened up the invitation It read

Wow this is a really fancy invite, I hope I have something to wear. I thought to myself as I went home after school that Friday. My Mom was home when I got there and I rushed to show them the Invite.
"Mom, look I got invited to a formal dinner with Johnsons Tomorrow. Can I go?" I asked them.
Why not It would be great to get to get to have a good friend before we move back to Tokyo, Japan," my mother said.
"Wait, move back to Tokyo?"I said astonished.
"Yes didn't your father tell you before he dropped you off at school? He got a better job and that requires him to go back to his old work place. You'll Be with all your friends again won't it be great. Honey"
"Yes I cant wait to go home," I said. I went to bed smiling and dreaming about the great times I'll have with my friends"
Saturday the day of the dinner at the front gate of the Mansion
"Hello, Sir?"
"Ah, You Must be Mimi, Go on in, Your transport is waiting" the guard said. There through the gate was Max in a golf cart.
"Hi Max, I got here early so I wasn't late," I said getting in.
"Excellent, I had hoped you would have shown up. But I have a bad feeling about my dad being late in arrival to the house, he's never late going any where it's not like him," he said looking worried. We got up to the house and waited for hour after hour until a man came in and he looked deeply saddened.
Master Max I have some very tragic news to share with you" the man said.
"What is it Charles? Is it dad? Is he alright?" Max asked the servant panicked.
"Your father has been in a plane crash, his private jet lost power and crashed from 3,700 feet in the air and he didn't survive. The family lawyer will red his will to you," the servant said to him.
"I'm so sorry Max I would have hoped to meet your dad," I said out of sorrow.
"It's o.k. he was never home a lot of the time anyway, and I didn't know him very well," he said his eyes watering up with sadness.
"Master max the lawyer is here to read the will sir," the servant said.
"Let him in Charles, I'm sorry you have to be here Mimi, I thought today would have gone differently, But life is full of surprises right," He said trying to put a positive spin on things.
"Hello Max, It's been awhile, as you know of the untimely death of James Johnson this is the last will and testament of of James Johnson," the lawyer said pulling out a piece of paper." The lady must stay with you."
"Then I'll proceed," he sad as he began to read.

You will be evicted from this home after you pack a week of clothes, after this wills reading You know you are the only living member of your family. I'm sorry I didn't spend much time with you and I know what we had between us wouldn't and now can't be changed. With love and wishes for the best your father James Johnson.
"I don't know where I'll go, I have know where to go," Max said distressed.
"Why don't you come home with me, but I'll be moving to back to Tokyo soon," I suggested.
"I have the choice to move anywhere outside of the U.S. So I'll go with you to Tokyo, because I can't stay here, I thank you for your kindness I will hope to find a home. I will be on the road less traveled. Would you follow me to my room so I could can pack a few things,"he asked me.
"Sure" I said following him to his room. He walked over to his computer which suddenly turned on and went super bright. A stream of orange light came out and then faded. In his hand was a D3 digivice.
"That's a digivice there must be something wrong in the Digital world and you must be a new digidestined," I said.
"A what?" Max asked.
"A digidestined, you got that digivice because you are destined to go to the digital world," I replied.
"How do you know this, have you been there before?" Max asked.
"Yes, multiple times" I said as we walked to the gate to get picked up by my father.
"Really, is it a beautiful place?" He asked.
"It's very beautiful and much different from this world," I responded as my father pulled up.
"Hi honey why does Max have a suitcase with him is he coming to stay the night"? dad asked.
"Kind of, his father died in an airplane accident, and he has to move out of the country, so I suggested that he come to Tokyo with us. He has enough money to get and sustain his own home When he goes there," I said.
"I'm sorry your father passed away you have my condolences," my dad said.
"It's o.k. we didn't spend much time together anyway," Max said.
"Well hop in and we'll head off," my dad said. We got in and left to go to my home. Two weeks later we got on a plane to head to Tokyo. I told him about all my friends and the adventures we had in the digital world on the flight to Tokyo. He seemed to be very interested by what I was telling him then we finally landed in Tokyo 11 hours later.
