Second chapter.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed.

Thanks to Me want mochi and Skyebale for the help. (There's more MimiXKoushiro in this chapter =P)

About the names: Even though I grew up watching the American version, I generally prefer the Japanese names thus why most of them have them. I do, however, still call Cody Cody...and I'm not sure why. I think I do the same with Davis and Joe, actually. But, if I do keep switching I am sorry. When I write, I'm usually taking notes so I use the American names for speed, and I may forget to change them. I hope I am not confusing you all too much.

Also, I'll try make this easier to read as well.

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon or any of the characters mentioned (unless I say otherwise)

Thanks and enjoy!

CHAPTER II-NAPKIN LYRICS

Mimi had called later that night, and the plan was all organised. Mimi would come to Sora's apartment and they would go to the park together.

Sora woke up earlier than normal, and could not fall back asleep. He was still on her mind, and she had no idea why.

'I don't like Yamato that way. I know I don't. He's too much of a good friend to me. This must be Mimi's return, all of her boy-wanting pheromones. I'll just have to try not to think about it.' she pondered silently.

It was still relatively early, so Sora decided to take a longer shower than normal, hoping it could help her to relax too. It had worked…for the moment. Mimi arrived early.

"I thought I'd help you choose what to wear." Sora knew Mimi was trying to be sweet, but Sora did not really care what she wore. They were only clothes. But she'd never say that to Mimi, if she didn't want her eyes clawed out.

"Thanks, Meems. Pick something…normal though. Low-key. Okay?"

Obviously disappointed, "Okay…" Mimi sighed.

Mimi was wearing a pink (go figure) tank top, and dark denim three-quarter length jeans. Her 'low-key' outfit for Sora was a white strapless, sweet-heart neck line, shirt and grey, tight fit jeans. This outfit showed of Sora's beautiful figure, emphasising all the right parts. 'Mimi doesn't do low key, does she.' , Sora thought. She knew it would be pointless arguing, as otherwise she could end up wearing something worse. Mimi allowed Sora to wear her beloved Converse shoes though. Mimi wore pink flip-flops.


Outside, the air was warm, and there was no wind. Sora was grateful for this, as knowing Mimi, she would be moaning about her hair getting messed up. The girls talked as they made their way to the park, deciding to walk slowly to give Taichi a chance to arrive. Sora thought the time was perfect to ask Mimi about Koushiro.

"Meems, how do you feel about Koushiro? Do you still like him like that or…" she trailed off. "I just remembered how hard you found it when you split."

"I suppose…I never got over him, no. He's so sweet. But I think it hurt him pretty bad when I left. I'm not sure he'd still feel the same, anyway."

Sora said nothing. She'd let them work it out by themselves.

"Hey, Mimi, why don't you wait here for a little bit, and I'll text you to let you know if everyone's there. I think I can see their silhouettes, but I'll just make sure."

"Yeah, that's a good idea. This is going to be great. Hurry, I can't wait to see them all again." With that, Sora quickly walked off towards the group formed over under the shade of a tree.

When Sora got there Taichi and Yamato's heads shot up. Taichi gave a wolf-whistle and Yamato said nothing. He just stared at Sora's face-yet managing to hide his emotions.

"What? Can't I look nice? And cut it out, Tai." Sora laughed. She sat down on the grass in front of Yamato- who was leaning against the tree trunk- legs crossed, and her arms behind her, holding her up.

Sora looked around her. Yolie was talking to Ken and Cody; slightly seperated from the older digidestined. She noticed three people were missing:

"Hey, where's Hikari, Takeru and Davis?"

Speaking for the first time, but still looking at Sora's face, Yamato replied "They're over there." Sora thought he seemed troubled, but decided not to bring it up. She suddenly heard the other three.

"Hey, T.P. give me back my goggles! And get away from Kari!", Davis whined. The other two only laughed.

Sora got out her mobile phone and texted for Mimi to come over. She looked up to see Taichi eating, Koushiro on his laptop, Joe with his head in a book and Yamato staring at his hands. The younger digidestined had gathered together now and were talking, but Sora couldn't hear what about.
Sora stood up and turned her back to the group, waiting for Mimi to approach. She was unaware of Yamato's glaring eyes, focusing on the back of her head. When Sora quickly pivoted around and caught Yamato by surprise.

"Yama, are you okay? You seem a little jumpy today."

"Yeah…I'm actually…great. Just thinking…about a new song."

They smiled at each other and everyone jumped when they heard a familiar voice saying "Hey guys!"

Everyone-gasping from shock-got up to say hello to Mimi, all at once. This being so, the blush on Koushiro's face grew as he waited until the others had said their hellos before giving Mimi a hug. They sat back down to hear the explanation of Mimi's 'impromptu' return.

"Well, my parents and I are moving back to Odaiba, so we all came early so I could make school arrangements. Great news, huh? My return, not the school arrangements, that is."

"Sure is, Meems.", everyone said, basically at the same time.

"Wait-Sora, did you know about this? Is this the reason for the little 'get together'?" Hikari asked, with genuine surprise.

"Guilty. Don't blame me,though. She just appeared at my house." Sora replied with a laugh, followed soon by a chorus of laughter from the others.

The group stayed there talking and catching up for an hour or so when someone suggested they go get something to eat. It seemed like a good idea, however, as everyone was getting quite hungry.


The digidestined got up and walked towards their favourite eatery. When they got there they walked towards their usual table, one of the only ones large enough to fit so many people. Not long after their order-decided by none other than Taichi-had been taken and was being prepared.

"Hey, guys. Yama's being quieter than normal. What's wrong, Yama."

"Nothing wrong's, Taichi. Like I said to Sora earlier, when you were eating, its that I'm trying to remember some song lyrics to a new song I'm writing."

"Why don't you write them down on a napkin." Ken suggested.

"Good idea. Anybody got a pen?"

"Ooh, I do!", Yolie said, beginning to go through her bag, retrieving a pen and handing it to Yamato.

"Thanks." He started to write quickly, but still in a well written, almost calligraphic style.

"Do we get to see?" Sora asked.

"Not until it's done." He said giving a crooked grin

'Oh my…damn. Not meant to think about him.' she thought to herself.

The food arrived, and unsurprisingly, Taichi ate the most. Everybody laughed when Takeru threw a California roll at Davis, except for Davis that is. The group was having fun being all together again. It had been so long: since their last trip to the Digital World.

"Right, so…who's paying?", Cody asked.

"Well, considering Taichi ate the most, I think its fair he pay. What do you think?", chirped Yamato

"Oh look. Yama's back to normal-"

"Taichi, stop talking and just pay!"

"Uh, okay, Mimi. Sorry.", Taichi cowered but eventually paid the bill.

"How's the song going, Yamato?" asked Joe who had been generally rather quiet, cramming for an up-coming exam.

"Pretty good, actually. I think it should be ready for my next concert." Yamato may have mentioned that all to loudly as some nearby girls turned their heads and started to whisper to one another. Two of the other girls virtually pushed another in the direction of the digidestined.

"Are…are you Yamato Ishida?"

Sighing, "Yes."

"Oh, well my friends and I love you!" the girl said.

Under his breath Yamato muttered 'I doubt that' .

"Did you say that you have a concert soon?" she continued without pause.

"Um…nothing..nothing certain." The others had started laughing at Yamato's struggling at which he narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, okay. Hey, do you…have a girlfriend?"

"Um…well...um..."

"What if he does?" Sora said with irritation in her voice. Yamato stared at her in shock as the girl quickly walked off. "You can thank me later if you want." she mocked.

Yamato had never enjoyed the having fans part of being a successful musician. He only did it because music was a part of his life, but he always panicked when fans approached him.

"Thank you. Really, thank you. Can we leave now, before they all come over?" he rushed getting up and moving away. The others followed him out. Laughing.


Once they were outside Hikari brought up the topic of what they should do next. Joe, Ken, Cody, and Yolie all had reasons for which they had to go home, but the others went back to the park.

The group walked around when Hikari stole Davis' goggles off of his head and she and Takeru ran off whilst Davis chased after them. When Takeru and Hikari held hands as they ran, Taichi stormed off after them to 'protect' Hikari. This left Koushiro, Mimi, Sora and Yamato together.

"Mimi, can I speak to you for a minute…in private?", Koushiro embarrassedly asked.

Sora winked at Mimi, and pulled Yamato towards the swings to give the two some privacy.

"Thanks again, Sor. For helping me with that girl earlier. I just don't know what to say to get them to go away without being rude."

"No problem, Yama. She was starting to get on my nerves anyway. Although she wasn't the worse fan…"

"Oh, no. There's definitely been worse fans."

The two then began discussing various crazy fans, the hot topic being Davis's sister, Jun. They two looked towards Koushiro and Mimi when Mimi screeched and hugged Koushiro tightly.

"Ahh, so I guess he asked her out." Yamato commented.

"He was actually going to ask her out then? I asked Mimi earlier, and she told me she had never got over him. I think it's nice…when two people can find someone they know well, but also feel that way about." Sora lowered her head as she said that.

"Yeah…" Yamato was staring off into the distance when Sora picked her head up. Mimi and Koushiro were running towards the two at the swings, being followed closely by the other four.

The group of digidestined congratulated Mimi and Koushiro when Yamato said:

"Hey, sorry guys. I've got to go do something." and with that walked off. Sora stared after him thinking 'What got into him? Why does it make me feel so sad that he's left? Ugh! Come on, Sora. You're being ridiculous.' She turned her attention back to the others.

The group split after another hour or so in the park because Taichi was hungry.


A few hours after being home from the group get-together, Sora received a text. It was from Yamato and read:

Sorry for running off earlier.

Sora couldn't understand why Yamato had run off, but decided to dismiss it from her mind. She needed to stop thinking about him period.

'I don't like Yamato as anything more than a friend. So why can't I stop thinking about him? Ugh! This is driving me crazy. I'm just going to not think about him.' she thought to herself.

This didn't happen, however, because Yamato was still on Sora's mind when she went to bed that night.

'Ugh! Maybe just the smallest hinting of a crush…did I just admit that? Nobody can know about this. No one.'

The rest of the weekend went along normally for each of the digidestined.

However, Sora was not thrilled that she would have to see her newly-admitted crush at school the next day, in case she unconsciously acted different around him, and gave herself away. This scared her more than the first-round tennis championship game Sora had to play later that week.
