A memory and a shopping trip

Mimi jumped from her bed so fast she was surprise she didn't injure herself. For once thoughts were racing through her head but only about one thing. That dream was real. She knew it, she had remember something from her past. Sora, Izzy, and Tai had mentioned that her parents had died in a fire years before but al she could think was "wow I almost died" and "izzy saved my life". She had to see him. She had to know everything that happened that night. It was a memory she had seen after all she need to know more.

She got out of bed and through on a coat. Making sure she didn't wake up Sora she went into the kitchen to find the phone book. "Izumi…Izumi….here he is ok 90 Oakland Rd. apartment building 4 number 39." She rushed out the door and ran as fast as she could. She then realized she had no idea where Oakland Rd. was or any other place for that matter.

"Mimi?" she turned around and saw a violet haired girl standing behind her. "I'm Yolie." She said. "I'm one of your good friends from a group of people. Sora told me about the accident." Mimi smiled trying to act somewhat normal to the girl. "It's nice to meet you and I'd love to get to know you…again but right now I really need to find Izzy and I have no idea where to go." Yolie smiled at the girl. "I'll take you there." They walked and Mimi realized it was pretty late. "Yolie why are you out so late." Even in the dark you could see Yolie blush. "I was on a date actually." Mimi decided not to push details since she did not know or remember anyway much about the girl. "Here we are" Yolie stopped in front of an apartment building. "Mimi how are you gonna get in without waking his parents up?" Mimi hadn't thought about this. "Oh…I don't know. I'll find a way." Yolie smiled again (Mimi realized this girl was a happy girl) and said "Ok good luck Mimi" and turned to walk away.

Mimi didn't want to wake Izzy's parents up. She wasn't sure what they were like. She walked around the back and emergency stair cases. She climbed up till she got to the level Yolie said he was on. When she reached the window to his apartment she looked in and what do you know it was Izzy's room. She slid open the window trying to be cautious then made a mental note to yell at him for keeping it unlocked.

She looked over to see the redhead sleeping in his bed. She looked around his room. Right on his nightstand there was a picture of her. She smiled to herself and walked over to him. "Izzy" she whispered in his ear. She tried a couple more times and then decided to shake him until he awoke. "Gah! Mimi! What are you doing here?" "I think I remembered something but I needed to confirm it by you." His eyes lit up. She felt a little guilty it wasn't a good memory.

After Mimi told him everything about her dream he sighed. "It's all true. That's what happened" he said quietly. "And my parents died from this fire?" Izzy stared at her with sadness and concern in his eyes. "Yes, after the roof collapsed everyone inside was killed including the firefighters. It was a horrible night." "But you saved me. How did you know to come get me?" "I got a call from Joe that night. He had lived near you at the time." "Joe?" "The blue haired dude from the hospital." "Oh" "So I got to your house as soon as I could. Joe was outside and I asked if you had gotten out. He told me that you hadn't and all I could think of was getting you out of their. I knew where your room was and I followed my gut to get you out of there." "Wow Izzy you really risked it all for me."

Izzy's eyes were filled with sadness knowing the girl he loved had no idea how much they had loved each other. Mimi looked at him. "Izzy" "Ya" "I'm sorry I don't remember much." He looked at her with loving eyes. "Don't you ever feel sorry. You can't control any of this." He hugged her and she expected it to feel awkward but it didn't it felt right.

"Thank you Izzy." He smiled at her. "Mimi no matter what happens I'll always be there for you. I think I should take you home though it's late." "Ok"

The next day Mimi sat in Sora's apartment going through the photo albums Sora had left out for her. Sora and the others were at school and felt she needed a day to get herself together. She was in no condition to go back. Sora also had soccer practice after school so she wouldn't be back for awhile. She heard a knock on the door and went to answer it.

"Oh hi Tai sorry but Sora is at soccer practice." "I know Mimi I'm actually here to see you." "Me? What for?" "Well Sora's birthday is coming up and you have always been the girl to turn to for help shopping." Mimi smiled. "So I'm a shopaholic?" "Oh ya." Mimi grabbed her coat. "We'll then let's see how I can help."

They walked over to a fancy girly story called the 'Malabu Creek'. Tai had told Mimi this had been the store she had dragged him and Izzy to last Christmas. She had told Tai what to get Sora and pointed out everything to Izzy that she would like. Oh this is adorable. Mimi ran over to a purse bigger that could fit Tai's soccer ball in it. "Mimi that thing is huge." Tai said. "Fine Tai be that way." She skipped over to the jewelry section and saw a beautiful bracelet. "Tai! I think I found something." Tai raced over. "Wow" he stated. "That's beautiful but how much is that thing." "It says all jewelry is 50% off. It's perfect." Tai smiled. "Sora will love this. Thanks Mimi." Mimi smiled that she had finally done something right. "No problem Tai."

As they left the store Mimi wondered what her friends were going to throw on her today to help her remember. They walked back to Sora's to find Izzy, Sora, blue haired Joe, the tall blonde who's name she forgot sitting there waiting for her. "Mimi!" Sora exclaimed running over to her. She looked at Tai. "Need help finding me a birthday present again?" she asked. Everyone laughed and Tai blushed. "You know I love you and all Sora I just have bad taste in things." Sora smiled. The blonde looked over. "Well at least you got Mimi out into the shopping world. That could always help her memory." "Matt there's more to Mimi's life than shopping." Joe responded.

Mimi made a mental note to remember the blondes name was Matt. "What do you have in store for me today to help my memory?" Joe got up and grabbed a tape. "We found some home videos that Kari took with her camera. We thought we'd show them to you." "Ok then let's get started."

Izzy walked over and threw a tape in the VCR. Everyone sat down and waited. The screen went on as did the video.

They were at a park. Tai ran up behind Matt and dumped a bucket of water over his head. "HAHAHAHAHA" "TAI IM GONNA KILL YOU MY HAIR LOOKED GREAT TODAY." Sora grabbed Tai away and put her hands on her hips. "Tai can you act serious for once in your life?" "Oh Sora you love me the way I am."

"Tai knock it off." A young girl said behind the camera. "CAN WE EAT ALREADY?" said a mahogany spiked haired boy. "SHUT UP DAVIS!" A bunch of the group screamed.

They group sat down on the grass where the picnic was set up. The camera holder put the camera up on a ledge or something so it could face the whole group. Then she sat down next to a blonde boy who the 'Davis' kid was now glaring at. Mimi was sitting next to Izzy who was flirting with her.

Tai turned the video off. He could tell it wasn't helping Mimi.

She looked sad. "You guys I don't remember any of that what if I never remember." "We'll you remembered the night of the fire." Sora offered. Mimi turned furious at Izzy who looked down. "You told them?!" she asked him mad. "Mimi…" he started, but she went off.

"I cannot believe you did this to me. I confided in you because I thought that I could trust you to help me not go off and tell Sora and everyone else here." "Mimi…." "No just forget it Izzy."

She ran out the door. She just wanted to get away. She didn't know anything about those people in that room. She didn't even know who she was. She was running so fast she didn't even see where she was going. "Mimi NO!" She felt two arms wrap around her and stop her. A flicker of light passed her eyes quickly.

"No! DADDY!" Mimi saw as her dad ran into the dinosaur digimon. Her mother ran over to him. "Oh honey you were so brave." Suddenly Togemon was lifted into the air. Thoughts were racing through Mimi's head. I need to help my family and friends! Togemon digivolve to Lilymon.

She looked up and saw a car speed right past her. A car that would have hit her if she hadn't been stopped. She turned around with wide eyes to face Izzy. "Did you remember something?" he asked. "Have I ever been near a monster?"
