Hidden FriendshipMimi laughed as her son chased a butterfly around the park. At five years old, Celo Amicitia Tachikawa (Kel-o am-eh-KIT-ee-ah) was a ball of pent up energy! His light brown hair, and hazel eyes matched his mother's perfectly, everything about him reminded you of his mother. Only the diamond shape of his eyes would ever hint of his father's identity.
Cel, as he liked to be called, turned when his mother's sweet laughter hit his ears. Giggling he scurried over to where she sat, throwing himself onto her lap. "Hi-hi Mommy!!!"
"Hi-hi Cel."
"Why're you laughin'? Is somethin' fun-ee?"
Mimi smiled down at her son's innocent face, "Just watching you play sweetling."
Cel's face screwed up in thought, "I'm fun-ee?"
"You're adorable sweetling. And I just like it when you're having fun, it makes me happy."
"Oh," He seemed to consider it for a minute. "Okay!" obviously he liked the answer.
Mimi looked at her watch, it was 3 o'clock. "Ne, we should be getting home now, I have to be at the studio by 4:30."
"Does that mean Miss Maris will be big-kid-sitting?"
"Yep, and you'll be on your best behavior, right?"
"Yeppers, I'll be a tenshi! Is that the right word?"
"Yes Cel, tenshi means-"
"Angel!"
"Your Japanese is really improving. Maybe we can go visit Japan soon."
"Rill-ee? Can we go today?"
"No," laughed Mimi, as she stood up and took Cel's hand. "Maybe when you're a bit older."
"Ohhhh, pwease, mommy! I'm a big kid now. Can't we go soon?"
Mimi's thought wander to the invitation sitting on her dresser, "If you're really good, maybe I'll see what I can work out, okay?"
"So we can go?"
"If you're good," Mimi hesitated. "Yes, we'll go to Japan."
"I'll be good, I'll be good, I'll be good, I'll be good, I'll be good, I'll be good, I'll be good, I'll be good, I'll be good-"
"That's enough sweetling. But you have to be good for a whole month!!!! And if you are, I'll take us to Japan. And we'll see all of mommy's old friends, they're having a party so we all see each other again."
Seven hours later, Mimi arrived home from her photo shoot. Quickly slipping into her house, she padded softly down the hall, dropping her purse and coat along the way, she entered the kitchen, and found Miss Maris, asleep on the table.
Miss Maris, who was a university student, just a few years younger than Mimi, had become Celo's favourite "Big-kid sitter" –as he liked to put it- and a good friend of her's.
"Jess, I'm home." Mimi whispered, as she shook the young girls shoulder, trying to wake her up.
"Wha- huh," Jessica Maris' eyes fluttered open, her eyes still glazed over with sleep. "Oh, hi Mimi. Did you just get in?"
Mimi smiled as Jess suppressed a yawn, and slowly got up from the chair. "Yeah, just a second ago. I trust everything was fine? Celo didn't cause you any problems?"
"Oh no, he's is such an angel… or, what is it again? A tenshy?"
"Tenshi. Good I'm glad. How much do I owe you?" Mimi asked.
"Ummm, let's see… uh, $42, I believe."
"Ok, that sounds right. Here you go." Said Mimi as she dug the money out of her purse and handed it to Jess. "oh, and before I forget. Could you baby-sit again on Wednesday? I have another photo shoot."
Jess smiled. "I'd love to. I'll see you then!"
"Alright, bye Jess. Be careful walking home!"
"Yeah, Bye Mimi."
After Jess had left Mimi wandered upstairs, first peeking her head into Cel's room to make sure he was still sleeping soundly before continuing down the hall to her own room. Turning on only her beside lamp, she quickly got undressed in the soft light, and than pulled back the covers and curled up in bed. Sighing quietly to herself she reached over to her bedside table, and picked up the gold edged card that sat there. It said:
Dear Fellow digidestined,

Mimi felt a small smile come to her lips. The card was so Tai. It sounded a bit silly even though he was trying to be formal. She stared at the card for a few more minutes, reading it over again in her mind, before putting it back down on the table and turning out the light.
Drifting of to sleep she decided she'd send him an email tomorrow, telling him she'd be coming. But she wasn't going to mention Celo.
A/N- So, what did you think? Should I continue it? Please review and tell me what you thought of it! Even if you did think it was crap.
