A/N: here chap number two. I apologize for how long it has taken, but other things kept me from completing this as well as making this into a good chap to read too. Warning this one has a few words that gives its T rating to be safe.
Chapter 2
It was a new school day and Mimi was all set. She got up and showered then headed to her closet to pick out one of her usual outfits then she stopped herself.
"Right, no wearing pink" she said to herself.
She then pushed back the clothing in front of her and looked deeper and found what she was looking for. Sora and Kari were a major help in picking her new wardrobe. She had to thank them in some way. After all they ended their dates to help her. But she'd think about that later. Right now she had to pick the right outfit. She decided going with a beige colored jean skirt with a blue shirt. She looked herself in the mirror and fixed her hair then left.
"Here I come Izzy Izumi" she said to herself.
/Scene Break/
Heads were turning as Mimi entered the school. Many of the students didn't recognize her since she wasn't a hue of pink at all.
"Who is that?"
"Is she a new student?"
"She's a hot new student."
Mimi ignored all these comments and made her way to Izzy's locker where she found him rummaging through for a book or something.
"Hey Izzy" she greeted.
Izzy looked out of his locker and smiled.
"Hey Mimi" he said looking out of his locker then went back to looking.
He then paused looked out and took a good look at what Mimi was wearing. His eyes bulged a bit then he shut his locker.
"New look?" he asked.
"Yeah, I wanted to try something new, do you like it?" Mimi asked nervously.
Izzy smiled.
"Of course I do Mimi. You look good in anything you wear" he said sincerely.
Mimi beamed.
"Thank you Izzy" she said, though inside she was jumping up and down with happiness.
Their moment ended when Tai, Sora, and Matt came over.
"Looking good Meems" Matt said with a smile.
"Thanks Matt" Mimi said.
"Yeah, I almost didn't recognize you with not wearing any pink" Tai said.
"Thank Tai, I'll take that as a compliment" Mimi said.
Tai just nodded.
"So Izzy, what do you think of Mimi's new look?" Sora asked.
Izzy looked Mimi over again, which pleased her. He then turned to Sora.
"She looks great, though like I told her before that she looks good in anything she wears" the computer genius said.
Mimi couldn't help it, she pulled Izzy into a tight hug.
"Oh Izzy, you're so sweet" she said happily.
Izzy knew his face slowly turning blue due to Mimi cut off his airway.
"Mimi, air" he strained.
"Oops, sorry Izzy" Mimi said looking a bit embarrassed.
"No problem Meems" Izzy said as he gasped for breath.
Soon the bell rang and the friends parted ways.
/Scene Break/
Mimi went through class with everyone staring at her. She was used to the looks though they did annoy her a bit since everyone just kept staring and a few commented. They were amazed that Mimi had other clothes that didn't have pink on it at all.
"Can't a girl wear something different and not get ridiculed" Mimi said to herself.
Soon it was a break in the school day and Mimi was ready to relax a bit, but sadly fate wasn't on her side.
"Mimi, girl, like, what happened to you? You're not, like, wearing, like, any pink" Janine said shocked.
"Yeah, like, did all of your clothes get, like, wrecked in some, like, horrible disaster?" Brittany asked.
"No, I just decided to wear something different" Mimi said as got a small migraine from word of like used so much.
"But pink is, like, all, like you, girl" Brittany said.
Mimi sighed and wondered why in the Digiworld did she hang out with these airheads. Right, they liked fashion and none of her Digidestined friends were much into fashion like she was. But still she knew there was more to life than that. And how many freaking times can they use the word 'like' in a sentence?
"Come on girl, like, after school we'll, like, all go to the mall and get you, like, new clothes" Janine said.
"Yea, like, shopping trip" Brittany squealed.
"I am fine with what I am wearing Janine" Mimi said hotly.
"It's just the stress talking Meems, that's all" Janine said shockingly without the word 'like' in it.
Where is this girl's brain? Mimi wondered.
"Look, I am fine with what I am wearing. I wanted to try something different and I like it and my other friends seem to like it" Mimi said.
"You mean Kamiya, the soccer nut, Takenouchi the tennis dyke, Ishida the hottie, and that geeky nerd Izumi?" Brittany said.
Mimi got angry. No one insults her real friends to her.
"Listen Brit. Tai is a great friend and he isn't a soccer nut. He just likes soccer. As for Sora, she isn't a dyke. She has a boyfriend, which happens to be Tai. And Izzy isn't a nerd" she said furiously.
The girls had backed up some since Mimi was quite angry and looked ready to claw at them. Though Mimi never got a chance when she felt two pairs of hands gently grab her and pull her away.
"Easy Meems" Tai said gently.
"Yeah, don't want you to get into any trouble now" Matt said.
Mimi looked around and calmed a bit. Around her were her real friends. Tai, Sora, Matt, and Izzy.
"Guys?" she questioned.
"We heard what was going on and decided to step in before any real damage had been done" Sora said.
"But, you heard what they called you" Mimi said.
"Yes we did, but that doesn't matter since they are just shallow airheads" Matt said coolly.
"They're just jealous since they have no talent of their own" Sora said.
Mimi calmed down and smiled. It was great that she had friends like these. She hung out with them the rest of the day.
/Scene Break/
Later after school Mimi closed her locker knowing she had lost the two airheads and regained her true friends.
"Hey Mimi?"
Mimi turned and her face brighten when she saw Izzy was standing there.
"Izzy, what are you doing here?" she asked.
"I wanted to see if I can walk you home?" Izzy asked.
"Of course you can" Mimi said smiling.
"Shall we?" Izzy asked.
Mimi nodded and the two left chatting with one another. They walked home together and Mimi was very happy with this since she was spending time with Izzy alone and that gave her more hope that Izzy might feel the same for her. Once they got to Mimi's door they stopped.
"Thank you for walking me home Izzy" Mimi said.
"No problem Mimi, um, would you like to walk to school together tomorrow?" Izzy asked nervously.
Inside Mimi was jumping up and down.
"I'd like that Izzy" she said.
"Great, I'll see you tomorrow" Izzy said smiling.
"Yeah, tomorrow" Mimi said smiling also.
As soon as the door closed Mimi began jumping up and down shouting 'Yes! Yes! Yes!'
/Scene Break/
Over the next several weeks Izzy walked Mimi to school and back. Mimi took this time to try out her new knowledge and show off her new wardrobe. So every walk the two had together they'd have meaningful chats about computers and other things. Izzy was amazed by Mimi's intimacy with the subject since as far as he knew Mimi never showed any interest before. He didn't know what had caused the change in his friend, but it was fine with him since this was still the same Mimi he knew.
She still had the same bubbly personality and happy go lucky ways. She still talked a mile a minute and couldn't could outlast a toddler on a sugar high with all the energy she had at her disposal.
"Say Izzy, there's a tech convention this weekend. Want to go?" Mimi asked one day as they walked home.
"Sure, I've been hearing about for a while and I've been itching to get tickets, but they're all sold out" Izzy said.
"Well, then it is good that I got two tickets and one has your name on it" Mimi said with a smile.
Izzy was shocked. He turned to Mimi with an 'are you serious' look on his face. Mimi just kept her smile and nodded indicating that she was. Izzy grabbed and hugged Mimi tight. This kind of surprised Mimi, but who was she to turn this opportunity of being so close to her Izzy.
The rest of the walk home they chatted about what they might see at the convention. When they got to Mimi's door they finalized their plans. Izzy left and Mimi went to her room then began dancing around excitedly.
/Scene Break/
The day of the convention Mimi got up early showered and dressed. She made sure she wore comfortable shoes since she knew there'd be a lot of walking. She also reviewed certain items that would be there so she wouldn't look stupid. Once done she left her room to have breakfast before she went.
Mrs. Tachikawa did a double take when she saw what her daughter was wearing.
Mimi was wearing a grey knee high skirt, a shirt that said, 'The Latest Model' across her chest with 'More Features, Less Hassles' below it. On the back was a computer screen with a winking face on it.
"Mimi, where do you think you're going?" her mother asked.
"Out with Izzy" Mimi said.
"Oh, okay" her mother said.
Mimi looked at her mother oddly then shrugged. She then had breakfast and after that put on a pair of real comfortable shoes and headed off to meet Izzy. She found Izzy waiting for her at the bus stop.
"Hey, Mimi" he greeted.
"Hey Izzy, am I late?" Mimi asked.
"Nope, you're right on time" Izzy said.
"Great" Mimi said smiling.
The two chatted about the convention and soon the bus came. They got on paid their fare and found a seat. They sat together and talked some more til their stop. They got off and headed off to the convention.
/Scene Break/
They've been for an hour and Izzy was in his nirvana. He was like a kid in a candy store. His eyes darted from one thing to the next. He was practically jumping up and down inside he was so excited.
Mimi was by his side holding his hand so not to get lost in the sea of computer techs, analysts, hobbyists, freaks, and other show goers.
"Oh man, I have no idea where to go first" Izzy said.
"Well, how about this booth here" Mimi said pointing to it on the map they got at the entrance.
"Good idea Meems" Izzy said.
They made their way through the crowd with people giving them looks. They haven't ever seen a girl like Mimi here and here willingly. This was shocking to them and wondered who the boy she was with and wondered if there was another girl like her.
Once they got to the booth the looked around and chatted a bit with the guy there. Izzy and the guy got in to a bit of a debate with him and Izzy won.
The whole day was spent with Izzy learning new things as well as Mimi. They had great fun together.
As night fell Izzy felt that he should do something for Mimi for treating him to the convention. He took Mimi out to a nice restaurant. Mimi was pleased with this, though she knew that this was just a thing between friends she knew it was just the start. They had a nice meal together and then Izzy walked her home.
Mimi got to her room and punched the air. Success.
/Scene Break/
The next several weeks Mimi and Izzy got closer and Mimi could just feel that in any moment Izzy was going to as her out. She just could feel it in her bones. She told this to Sora. Sora just sighed.
"Mimi, you've no idea if Izzy will ask you out, you're just hoping" the crest of love bearer said.
"But I know Sora, I know" Mimi argued.
Sora sighed again. Mimi was such a hopeless romantic.
"Mimi, I'm not saying it's not going to happen, but you've got to be patient. Izzy has never really had a girlfriend so he's all new to this. You've got to let him take his time and figure it out. He'll come to you when he's ready" she said sagely.
Mimi pouted at this.
"But I'm ready now" she whined.
Sora sighed as she rested her head in her hands. Why does Mimi have to so difficult when it comes to love? You can rush things when it comes to matters of the heart. It takes time.
"I know you are Mimi, but like I said Izzy isn't. But if you want I could see if I could get the guys to help push Izzy in the right direction" Sora said.
"Really, you'd do that for me?" Mimi asked happily.
"Yes, I have a few things I can do to get the guys to cooperate" Sora said with a smirk.
Mimi just nodded. She knew that Sora had a lot of dirt on the guys. Mainly Tai, but she had some on Matt too. As for TK, she'd just talk to Kari and find some stuff that'd help her out.
"Thank you!" the pink princess shouted as she hugged her friend.
Sora just smiled even though she winced slightly. Mimi had a python grip around her middle. Why did she have to have such an exuberant and sometimes freakishly strong friend?
/Scene Break/
Tai sighed as he along with Matt and TK sat around waiting for Izzy to arrive. They couldn't believe Sora was blackmailing them. Wait, they could believe it. Well Tai could believe it since he's known Sora the longest. Matt was kind of shocked that Sora knew some of his dark secrets and was scared of what else she knew. TK couldn't believe Kari would do this to him.
"Hey guys, sorry I am late, but I got caught up in something!" Izzy shouted as he ran up to them.
It was decided that they'd meet in the park under one of the trees they used as a gathering point for their Digidestined meetings.
"No prob Izzy" Matt said.
"So, why'd you call me here?" Izzy asked sitting down.
"Izzy, I think it's time for you to have the talk" Tai said.
Izzy blinked for a second then it came to him.
"No way Tai, I've had that talk with my dad and I really don't need one from my friends" he said scooting away.
"Not that talk Izzy. We all know about that stuff. And one of us won't be doing that anytime soon, right?" Tai asked as he shot a look at TK.
TK gulped.
"Ease off Tai, we're here to talk to Izzy not grill my little brother" Matt said.
"Right, sorry" Tai said.
Tai was still getting used to his baby sister dating and dating someone he knew very well. It was hard. He knew he could trust TK with Kari no matter what. But he was still Kari's big brother, which meant he'd glare at any guy his sister was dating no matter who it is.
"Izzy, we're here to talk girls. Now each of us has had a girlfriend before. You are the only one who has yet to have their first. So we're here to help you get prepared for that" Matt said.
"So we're all gathered here so you can help me get my first girlfriend?" Izzy asked incredulously.
"Well, kind of" Tai said.
Izzy looked at the leader of the Digidestined confused, which was a rare sight.
"Forget about that for now Izzy. What we need to help you with is finding the right girl for you" Matt said.
Izzy just nodded though he put what Tai had said in a file in the back of his head.
The whole thing was complicated to say the least since Izzy didn't really understand what his friends were trying to help them with. It didn't help that the guys were doing trying to accomplish two things at one. One get Izzy interested in girls and two get him interested in Mimi as a girlfriend material. The first was a bit easier then the second. The second was darn tough because they didn't want to totally influence Izzy on getting together with Mimi. No, Izzy had to make that choice himself.
By the end of the talk Izzy knew more about girls then he thought he knew, but that only left him with more questions.
/Scene Break/
"Hey Izzy" Mimi beamed.
Izzy smiled right back at his friend when he felt something stir inside him.
That talk I had with the guys is affecting me he thought.
"Are you alright Izzy, you look very pensive?" Mimi asked worriedly.
"Nothing to worry about Mimi. Just a lot on my mind" Izzy said.
Mimi nodded and moved closer to her crush. She hoped he didn't get scared off with her being so close, but she just liked it.
Izzy stiffen for a moment then relaxed.
This is Mimi we're talking about here. You friend Mimi. You known her since you were like ten. You've faced danger together more times than you can count. Why are you so nervous? He thought.
"Say Izzy, I heard there was supposed to be a meteor shower this weekend. Want to join me?" Mimi asked.
"S-s-sure" Izzy stuttered out.
"Great" Mimi said.
She then left and Izzy let out a breath. He was going to kill his friends.
