Hello hello! I'm sorry everything has taken a while but I was on holiday
with the school and you all know what that's like! *yawn*
So on with the show, part two of Party of 8.

Mimi picked up the mail and entered the kitchen reading it. Izzy looked
up from his laptop as Mimi sat beside him. Her hair brushed his cheek and
it sent Izzy blushing.
Mimi didn't notice but gasped as she read a letter.

Izzy turned to Mimi, "What is it?"
Mimi gave him a gentle smile, handing him the letter to read for
himself. The letter was in a beautiful handwriting and was an
invitation for a wedding! But who's?
Izzy skipped to the last sentence, 'love Tai and Sora'.
He couldn't believe it, Taichi and Sora to be married!

The thought of him and Mimi even talking about made him feel too committed.
He looked back at Mimi who had faint tears in her eyes. He quickly
rose and rushed over to her, brushing her hair back he asked if she was ok.
"I'm fine," She sniffed, "Just tears of joy."
But deep inside it wasn't that, Mimi secretly wished Izzy would one
day propose to her. But Izzy wasn't the romantic type, he'd never been
and Mimi knew that. But she would still often wish he would hold her
hand and kiss her softly while whispering sweet nothings in her ear.

Izzy hugged her from behind, "Don't cry." he pleaded. Taking her hand in his own,
Mimi turned to face him and he whipped away a tear. Izzy then let go and
sat back down and continued poking away at his laptop.
Mimi just sighed and got up to write a reply to the invitation.

"Do you want to go?" Mimi questioned getting paper from a draw.
Izzy nodded and Mimi sat back down and began to write.
Izzy leaned over to see what she was writing, "Wouldn't you prefer it
if I wrote it on here and printed it out?" He then tapped his laptop.

Mimi looked at Izzy and smashed the pen down, standing up she shook with
anger. "NO!" Izzy jumped at her reply, "Could you, Please? For ONE day
not mention that stupid LAPTOP?!"
Izzy was taken back, he just simply turned the laptop off and stood up
with it under his arm. He frowned as he looked her up and down.

Mimi waited for his answer.
"If you can't cope with this laptop." Izzy said solemnly not making eye
contact, "Then you can't cope with me."
He then turned slowly and left the kitchen. Mimi stood in silence as
she heard him open the front door and leave.
Then her heart slowly broke and she slumped to the floor crying.
Why had she questioned him about something she knew he loved? There
was no contest between her and his laptop. It was something that
has always been with Izzy.

Like the time long ago when he had been so engrossed in his laptop he
had made her cry. He had apologized, but it didn't sound real. Did he
mean it or was he apologizing to the laptop? Mimi had to admit she
didn't know Izzy that well.

Her tears of grief slowly slipped to the kitchen floor creating a small
puddle of salty water representing a pool of sadness.
*sigh*


"Oh Tai!" Sora hushed has he hugged her, "You can't see me when I'm in
the wedding dress BEFORE the wedding!"
Tai snickered as he tickled her, "Why not? You look fabulous!"
Sora spun round and covered his clear brown eyes with her hands. She
tutted as she pushed him out of the room.
"Get out! I don't care what you say Mr. Tachi, you're not looking!"
Sora slammed the door behind him and as she walked away she heard him
whisper 'please' from outside the door.

She just laughed to herself, Tai proposing to her had to be the best
thing that had ever happened to her. Tai outside rushed downstairs
to talk to Kari about being romantic.

Kari knew loads of things about being romantic. But that's because she
got it all from T.K, her boyfriend. She lived with him and Matt in a
house just down the street. Matt didn't care that much that they were
going out but hated catching them kissing and stuff.
Matt didn't really have a long term girlfriend but always brought one
home each week. T.K would always laugh when they would split up one
or two weeks later.

"Why can't you go out with someone longer than two weeks Matt?" T.K had
asked his older brother one-day.
Matt enraged by his brothers question had shouted "BECAUSE I CAN'T!!"
And had rushed to his room to secluded himself holding back stinging
tears. Kari had entered, hugging Matt as he rubbed red eyes.

"It's ok." Kari said gently, "No-one minds if you don't have a long
term girlfriend. You don't have to."
Matt looked away, Kari remembered he was trying to hid a tear. "It's
not that Kari, I've always wanted a long-term girlfriend. But the thing
is, whoever I go out with, It's not ME they love it's just my looks."

Kari had never realized this was the reason his relationships ended
so quick. Kari sighed, telling Matt reassuring comments.

"Kari, KARI!" Tai yelled, catching her attention. "Dreaming about T.K
again were we? Hope it was nothing rude!"
Kari smiled at her big goofy brother. "No it wasn't T.K. So what do
you need help with now big bro?"

Next part coming soon. What would you all prefer, Mimi getting with Joe?
