Mimi's POV We were trapped. In the Digital World. Staring in mute shock at the digital portal which was currently flashing "Under Maintenance". Should I suggest that we head up to the castle to ask if we can stay for the night?It was as if Taichi had read my mind. "Meems, get onto my back. We're heading to the castle."
As we, or rather, Taichi walked up the stone stairs leading to the castle, I whipped out my D-Terminal and emailed Sora to tell her that we were trapped in the Digital World. Finally, we reached the heavy wooden doors of the castle. We knocked.
After about a minute, the stone doors were pushed open an inch, and we saw a Gekomon looking up at us, eyes wide with shock and filled with joy. After that, everything happened in a whirl. I was dragged into a bathroom and given a nightgown to change into, and Taichi, well, I have no idea where he was dragged to.
The nightgown that I was wearing was beautiful. It was pale pink in colour, with ribbons in the front crisscrossing one another until it was finally tied into a butterfly bow at the top. It was a perfect fit, showing off my curves. The sleeves were puffy at the shoulders, with a ribbon, and after the ribbon it was flowing and reached my wrists. The dress reached my ankles. My ankle was feeling better, and I could walk without tripping now, just with a slight limp.
I exited the bathroom, and headed towards the main hall. After being the princess of this castle a few years ago, I was familiar with it. And there Taichi was, dressed like a prince in a dark blue coat with gold trimmings over a peasant shirt, and long, black pants.
An Otamamon said, "Princess Mimi, you and Prince Taichi will be staying in the Royal Bedchambers. Something evil is lurking in the Digital World, hence we, your servants find it more reassuring if Prince Taichi is there to protect you."
And so, after a delicious meal, we headed into the Royal Bedchambers. There, two single beds had been pushed together, curtains covering every side of it except the side that was beside the other bed, and the only thing separating the two beds was a small bolster.
"Meems, if you're uncomfortable with this, I could rearrange it." I looked up into his eyes. He looked as if he would rather not rearrange the beds, and I felt the same way too.
"No, it's fine." I looked around for a distraction to get out of this awkward situation. "Look Tai! The sky's beautiful tonight." The sky was filled with twinkling stars, making the night sky look absolutely breathtaking.
"Yes," Taichi said, as he leaned against the window grilles.
"Taichi, who am I to you?"
"…"
"Taichi?"
"You're my beloved princess whom I love to tease." He was being serious, yet he seemed to be joking at the same time. I didn't know what he meant. All of the sudden, he gave a sigh as he pulled me closer towards him, my head against his chest. I could feel his heart beats, beating faster than normal. What is he thinking? Then, he kissed my forehead. "You look beautiful, Meems."

Taichi's POV We were tired, so we decided to go to bed. Somehow or another, Mimi eventually rolled over to my bed, and was now curled up like a cat, legs against mine, head against my chest. It's nice though.
I'm sorry, Meems. I don't have the courage to tell you the truth of who you are to me. Not yet, anyway. I slowly drifted off to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi's POV For some reason, I woke up in the middle of the night, curled up against Taichi. Then I realised the reason. Taichi was murmuring in his sleep. He was muttering , "Mimi, who am I to you?", over and over in his sleep.
Who is Taichi to me? I know who he is to me, I really do. I just can't tell him yet. Not until I know who I am to him. I don't know what he thinks of me, I don't know when he's being serious, and I don't know when he's joking. He has always been that way. Joking and acting goofy at times, like with his Coca Cola addiction, or when teasing me or Yamato. Serious at times, especially when he's doing his part as a leader. The leader of the Digidestined. The captain of his school's football team. I know that I know him well enough, to know what he's really thinking. However, for some reason, I don't know what he's really thinking when it comes to matters between me and him. It feels as if all of the sudden, he puts up a shield, preventing me from knowing what he really thinks about me, what he feels about me. Even so, we feel so right together. Who am I to him? I really want to know.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
