Hey guys! Sorry for the long update! I kept looking over the first rough draft of this chapter, and I wasn't satisfied. I didn't know what to do with it, and I kept changing it, over and over again.
So!
I finally settled for this!
For you mimato fans, I'm sure you'll enjoy this chapter! Well, I'm gonna cross my fingers on that! :)
A/N:There's a good part of the chapter told in Mimi's POV. along with a pretty lengthy flashback. Be glad this flashback is in here; It's one of the reason's why I took so long on this chapter!
Enough rambling!! Here's Chapter 10!
:)
Chapter 10: Feelings Ignite
Matt linked arms with Sora as they exited the banquet hall and entered the lobby. The party was over, and after all the dancing, and conversing, Sora was extremely tired. Mostly everyone had left, leaving the digidestined to catch up with each other. Sora watched as Tai, Kari, TK, Joe, and Izzy all walked altogether out of the lobby. Tai glanced wistfully her way, before exiting through the doors.
Sora stopped short when she heard Mimi's voice fill the lobby.
"...I did too! Are you calling me a liar??" Mimi hollered. She was shaking her free fist at the desk clerk. Her other balled up fist, along with the rest of her, was wrapped in Palmon's vines, in an attempt to hold Mimi back. The desk clerk, was fumbling with words, and was shrinking in fear behind the counter.
Matt let go of Sora. "Whoa, Meems, what's wrong?" He asked, reaching for Mimi, but stopped quickly.
Mimi looked over at the two. "This" she pointed a finger at the desk clerk, making him flinch. "…BOY is calling me a LIAR, and saying that I DIDN'T make reservations at this hotel!"
Sora winced at Mimi's dramatic screech. She sent the boy an apologetic look, before stepped forward. "Meems! Forget the hotel, you can just stay with us!"
Matt and Mimi exchanged looks.
"Uh…"
"I don't think…."
Sora waved her hand. "C'mon!! It'll be fun! We can catch up and you're practically family!" She turned to look at Matt, missing the frown on his face. "I'm ok with it if you are!"
Matt turned and looked at Sora. "Uh, Yeah," he said, turning to look somewhere else. "That's fine by me."
Mimi's face had a pink tint to it. "Really?" she asked, timidly. Palmon loosened her vines.
Sora linked her arm with Mimi's, and grinned. "Let's get your luggage."
Half an hour later, they entered into the penthouse. Matt immediately dropped the suitcases, as Sora whipped a pink bag off her shoulder and tossed it onto the couch. The two sighed in relief of lifting the weight of luggage off of them. Mimi and Palmon looked around, drinking in the beauty of the place.
"Wow guys! You have it good here!" Mimi exclaimed, gesturing around the room.
Matt shrugged, looking at Sora. "It's not that big." Mimi just rolled her eyes at him. "Well, uh, let me show you the guest suite." He grimaced as he picked up the suitcases again, and led Mimi and Palmon back down the hallway. Sora and Biyomon flopped onto the couch.
Biyomon sighed, satisfied. "Tonight was a lot of fun, Sora. Even though Tai didn't say much to you, you were able become friends with Mimi again!"
Sora smiled, closing her eyes. "I'm glad, B, I mean, I won't exactly remember how big our fight was, but until I do, I sure am glad we're talking now. I don't think I could handle getting better knowing that my friends are upset with me."
Biyomon looked over at Sora. "Who knows? You were able to make up with Mimi. Maybe the same will happen with Tai and Agumon."
Sora looked at the pink bird and grinned sheepishly. "Uh, Right."
Matt was taking his jacket off as he entered the living room. "Well I got them all squared away!" He hung his jacket up and looked at Sora. "You should probably get going to bed, sweetie."
Sora bit her tongue. "Right," She said again, taking Matt's outstretched hand.
Once they were back in the room, Sora felt the awkwardness come over her again. I guess Matt will be sleeping back here since Mimi has the guest suite, She thought as she pulled out some PJs.
"I'll just sleep on the couch in the living room," Matt answered, as if reading her thoughts. He came around and tucked Sora into bed.
Sora smiled graciously up at him. "Thanks Matt. I'm…trying."
Matt waved his hand. "I know you are. Don't worry about it. You'll remember soon." He grabbed a pillow and a spare blanket from the closet. "Goodnight," He whispered softly, kissing her on the forehead.
Sora fell asleep before Matt had even left the room.
Palmon was plugging her ears with her vines. Mimi was making such a ruckus, she was positive Matt and Sora could hear her down the hallway. Finally she sat up.
"Mimi!" Palmon complained. "Keep it up, and I will move into Biyomon's room!"
Mimi stopped digging in her suitcase, and looked up at her. "Huh?" she glanced down at her suitcase and realized how much noise she was making. "I'm sorry Palmon, I just can't seem to find my PJs! I know I packed them too!"
Palmon frowned. "Did you look in this Pink Suitcase?" She wrapped a vine around a handle, holding it up in the air.
"Yes."
"What about that pink suitcase?"
"Of course."
"What about my pink suitcase?"
"I looked there first."
"Hey!" Palmon shouted, crossing her arms. "I didn't take them!"
Mimi glared at her. "I didn't say you did, I just figured you would've had my back and packed an extra set of my PJs with your stuff!"
Palmon stared at her. Don't try to understand, she thought. She shook her head. "What about the Pink bag?" She asked, flopping her head back down on the pillow, staring at the ceiling.
"Pink bag?" Mimi repeated.
"Yeah. I saw Sora carrying a pink bag."
Mimi brightened. "Right! I remember! Yes! They must be in there!" She looked around the room for the bag. "Uh, Palmon? Did you bring that pink bag back here by any chance?"
Palmon sat up again. "No. I thought you did."
Mimi frowned. "Oh, it must be out on the couch still," She looked over at Palmon. "Do you think you can stretch that far and bring it back here?"
Palmon's eyes widened. "I can't do that! It's too far, and plus I might break something!"
Mimi wrinkled her nose. "Lazy." Palmon sweat dropped, as Mimi sighed. "Fine, I'll just go out there and get it."
Mimi marched out of the room, closing the door firmly behind her. Standing in the dark, Mimi felt all the courage she had, drain right out of her. She slowly tiptoed down the dark hallway, being as careful and as quiet as possible. Her arms were outstretched, feeling for anything she might bump into. She crept through the living room, stopping long enough for eyes to adjust to the dark. When she was able to make the outline of the couch, she made her way towards it, slowly leaned over the couch, and grabbed the bag.
"What the hell??"
The voice was so loud, it startled Mimi, as she let out a shriek and stumbled onto the floor. She laid there as a soft light filled the room. Matt stood over her.
"Meems?" he said, confused. "What are you doing?" he lowered his voice as he reached down and helped her onto her feet. Her face was extremely red, and she began wringing her hands.
"I, uh, was looking for my pink bag. My PJs are in them," She explained. "I didn't realize you'd be out here. Heh! Silly me!" she let out a nervous chuckle.
"Well, that was my ankle you grabbed." Matt snapped, as he walked back around the couch and flopped onto it.
"Oh. Sorry about that." Mimi looked away from him, her gaze settling on the other couch across the room. She spotted her bag on that couch, and went over to pick it up. Matt was still sitting there watching her, as she pulled the strap of the bag over her shoulder. Mimi turned around and they stared at each other for a few seconds.
Mimi blushed and looked away. "So uh, why are you sleeping out here?" She finally asked.
Matt sighed, laying back down on the couch, and pulling the blanket over him. "I don't want to make Sora feel uncomfortable by sleeping in the same bed with her. So I offered to sleep out here. Plus, I'm jet lagged, so I can stay awake out here, instead of bothering her."
"Oh." Mimi nodded. "Well, uh goodnight!" She darted back down the hallway.
She opened the door to her suite and closed it gently behind her. She leaned against it and sighed. What was that?? 'Oh, goodnight??' He doesn't bite; I could've talked to him. I mean, hey what's the worse that can happen? Like New York, all we did was…
Oh.
She shook her head. Well, that wasn't horrible…I mean, he was the one who…who...Gah! No, Tachikawa! this is not good. You just became friends with Sora again, you can't just go and try to steal her man! She squeezed her eyes shut, refusing to enjoy those memories, of meeting up with him in New York.
It wasn't planned, that's for sure. He happened to be dining at the restraunt the she waitressed for, and she happened to be their waitress that night...
*Flashback*
Mimi continued to tap the pen on the counter she was leaning on, watching him. She still couldn't quite believe that Yamato Ishida was here! She was running their payments through the register, listening to his laughter fill the room. The sound of it gave her chills and a rush of memories. Several times throughout the evening, she would glance at his table, and meet Matt's gaze. He'd smile that perfect smile that would make her heart melt. Her cheeks would flush red, and she would look away. Thoughts of hatred towards Sora were long gone, and Matt was the only one who exsisted in the room.
His table was last to finish that night. The cooks were cleaning up their mess in the back, Leighton, the Hostess approached her. "Hey girl, you're never gonna find out anything about him if you keep staring."
Mimi grinned. "Oh, I already know plenty about him. We're friends from way back. But I haven't seen him since...wow, since we were 16."
Leighton chuckled. "Well, you need to do some catching up then!" she pointed to the clock "Tell them to get the hell out, so you two can spend the rest of the evening together!"
Mimi shook her head, holding up her hands. "Can't do that! There's still tables to clean, the trash-"
Leighton gave her a little push. "Take them their reciepts, and get out. I'll finish up here for you."
Mimi grinned at her. "Thanks Lay."
She took a step forward and inhale, summoning up all the courage she had. I can do this, she thought, as she straightened her shoulders and walked over to their table.
She stood in front of them, and flashed her pleasant smile. "Thank you all so much," She looked at each person sitting at the table. "It's been pleasure serving you tonight. I hope you all have a great evening, and enjoy the rest of your time in New York!" She finished, as she passed out reciepts to everyone. Matt stood and busied himself by pulling on his coat. Mimi hesitated for a second, before turning away. He doesn't want to talk to me. Why would he want to? He has Sora. She turned to walk away, when she felt someone grab her wrist.
"Hey."
Mimi turned around slowly, and grinned up at him. "Hey."
Matt scratched his head, glancing around the restraunt. He seemed a little hesitant, but he shrugged it off. "Well, I haven't seen you in for so long, I figured we could catch up on things."
Mimi's grin turned into a smile. "Sure! I'd love to! Can you wait a minute?"
"For you? I don't mind," he said, returning the smile.
He gave her hand a small squeeze, sending shivers down Mimi's spine. She quickly made her way to the back, where she met Leighton. Mimi grinned at Leighton as she hung up her apron. "Have fun!" Leighton called after her.
They walked outside without saying a word, the cooler air hitting her. It was August, but the night had extremely cooled down. She gave a small shiver looking up at the dreary clouds. "It's probably going to rain later," she said, breaking the silence.
Matt unconsciously put an arm around her. "You want coffee? I bet there's a starbucks on every corner here."
Mimi gave a small laugh. "Yeah, there's not one too far from here. It's actually on my way home anyways."
When they made it to the coffee shop, they talked about the past, the digital world, and their opinions of New York. By the time the two had finished off their warm beverages, they were talking as old friends again. As Matt was telling her about his trip to the moon, Mimi's mind began to drift away. She noted his blond hair, the piece that fell to the side of his face. He was excited, something that you never see in his cool, calm exterior self.
Mimi bit her lower lip, falling into the trap of looking into his eyes. I wonder how Sora feels, having the privilge to stare into these eyes for as long as she wants...
She realized that Matt had stopped talking and was staring into her eyes. She suddenly stood up, blushing. "Well, uh, I'm sure you have things to do, tomorrow," She said, picking up her coffee cup to throw away.
Matt jumped up beside her. "Leaving me so soon? I'll walk you to your place."
Mimi snorted. "Matt, you don't know you way around New York."
"I'll figure it out."
Mimi grinned. He thew his cup away, and tugged on her arm. "C'mon."
They slowly made their way to her building, conversation flowing again. He turned to face her. "You coming to the anniversary?"
Mimi stopped walking and slapped her hand on her forehead. She had forgotten, but was reminded earlier that day when Sora called her about it. "I wasn't planning on it," she answered, gloomily. She still found it odd that Sora had tried calling her. Why would she call me out of the blue like that? She sounded so cheerful, like her old self...
Matt pulled her hand away from her face to look at her. "How come?" He frowned.
Mimi shrugged, wishing more than anything she could go now. "Well.... I couldn't go anyways, I'd have to get a flight and since it's so soon..." Mimi was cut off by the sudden downpour in a cold rain. She squealed, and tugged on Matt's arm. "This way!" she called out to him.
They ran up to her building, laughing as they entered the lobby. "Mimi," Matt panted. "You have ran that fast since the Numemon were after you!"
Mimi laughed, as she leaned against the wall, loookin up at him. Water was dripping off his hair, and he gave a small shiver. "Hey," She said for a second. "You wanna come on up? Palmon would love to see you!"
Matt looked over at her. "Sure!" he said.
Upstairs, Palmon was talking to him a million words per minute, as Mimi changed out of her soaked clothes, and into her dry lounge clothes. She tossed him a towel, as she entered the living room, drying off her own hair. "Thanks," he grinned, as he dried off his hair.
Mimi laughed, when he removed the towel from his head. "Wow, I've never seen your hair so messed up before! Can't let you go out in public looking like that!" She teased.
Matt looked into a mirror hanging on the wall in the living room. He shrugged, before turning away. "Oh, well. No one knows me here, right?" He saw a pink laptop sitting on the coffee table. "This yours?" he sat down, picked it up, and began typing away.
Mimi nodded, narrowing her eyes. "What are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm booking you a flight."
Mimi dropped her towel. Palmon's mouth fell open. "What!?" Palmon shrieked.
"Palmon," Mimi said sweetly. "The bathroom needs cleaned. Do you mind? Thanks!" she said, ignoring the digimon's protests and pushing her down the hallway. She turned around and faced Matt.
"Booking me a flight??" She repeated, dropping the sugary tone. "For what?"
Matt nodded, a sober look on his face, as he studied the screen in front of him. "So you two can come to the anniversary party!"
Mimi made her way over to him, standing over him, waving her hands. "Hello? What if I don't want to go?"
Matt looked up finally making eye contact with her. "Why do you go to such great effort distancing yourself from your friends?"
Mimi stepped back. Grr, why do I have to have the crest of Sincerity? I can't lie worth crap! Even Matt, who I haven't seen in forever, can see right through my lies! She slumped onto the couch beside him, folding her arms. Although, he does have the Crest of Friendship, he knows and cares for each of us.
"I just..." She sighed, holding in the tears. "I feel as if I've grown apart from everyone," She answered sadly.
Matt threw his arm around her. "You haven't, Meems. We all miss you terribly." He inhaled sharply. "Even though it may not seem like it, I know Sora misses you."
Mimi looked down at her hands. "I don't know..."
Matt frowned at her, pulling his arm away. "Let's just look at some prices."
Mimi sighed, and slowly nodded. Matt grinned, and focused back on the screen. They clicked around some, going to several site before deciding on one partiucular flight. Matt glanced over at Mimi, who was staring at the page. "What do you think?"
She shrugged. "It's a lot of money, for being such short notice."
Matt reached into his back pocket, fishing out his wallet. Mimi's eyes widened, and reached for it. Matt yanked it away from her grasp.
"Matt, please.." Mimi said. "You don't have to do this."
"But you need to come."
"At least let me pay you back for this."
"No."
Mimi sat back and watched him finish the transaction. He printed her itinerary out, grinning. He passed it to Mimi, her eyes shimmered with tears, as she looked it over.
"I'm going home," she said quietly. She stood up, and wrapped her arms around him. "Thank you," She whispered. She felt Matt wrap his arms around her, holding her close, as if he didn't want to let her go.
"Mimi," Matt said, softly.
"Hmm?" she pulled back to look at him. Her eyes searched his blue ones. He closed his eyes, and leaned forward. Resting his forehead gently on hers, he slowly let his lips brush hers. When she didn't do anything, he decided to pull away. The moment he did though, she tightened her grip around his neck, and pulled him into another kiss. He kissed her back with the same urgency, his hands moving through her wet hair, holding her as if he couldn't get enough.
"Hey Meems?" Palmon hollered from a distance.
Mimi jumped back, and stared at Matt in shock. She touched her lips, as he looked away. "I'll be right there," She called out, slightly out of breath.
Matt stood. "I better go."
Mimi nodded, and walked him to the door. "Um, thanks again for the flight." She reached out to touch his arm, but pulled back when he flinched. He glanced at her one more time. "Night Meems."
"Goodnight," she said softly.
*End Flashback*
She felt like pounding her head on the door. Why?? I never even found out why he kissed me!! Why did this have to happen? She looked over at Palmon, who had fallen asleep with the light still on. Mimi quickly changed into her PJs, crawled into bed, and flipped off the light. What are you talking about Tachikawa?? You enjoyed it!
She scrunched her eyes shut, trying her best to force the thoughts out of her after turning and tossing, she too, realized that she wouldn't be able to fall asleep.
Stupid jet lag, She thought. Her mind was just too wide awake. Finally, she gave up. She opened the door, took a deep breath, and crept back down the hallway. The light was off again in the living room.
"Matt?" She whispered. "You still awake?"
There was a bit of silence, before she heard, "Yes."
The light switched on and Matt sat up, looking at her. "Can't sleep either?"
Mimi gave a small smile and shook her head. "No."
Matt shrugged, looking away. Seeing her smile made him want to smile. "Well, c'mon over. I guess we need to talk about somethings."
Sora watched as the ferris wheel door slid shut. She turned around to look at Tai.
"What are we doing in here?" she asked.
"He's looking for us."
They reached the top, and stopped, the car swaying in the wind. Tai pointed to the ground below. There were hundreds of people around, but there was only one who was staring up at them. His blue eyes met Sora's.
"He knows."
Sora whirled around to look at Tai again. "How? how did he find out?" She sat down beside him, but he moved away from her.
"I'm tired of waiting Sora," he said, finally. "I can't go on waiting like this. Choose, now."
Sora's eyes filled with tears, as she glanced back down to the ground. When she looked back at Tai, he was opening the door. "I see." he said simply.
"Goodbye," he whispered.
"TAI!!!! NO!!" she screamed in horror, watching him fall. falling, falling......
Sora jumped, sitting up. She looked over to see the time. 7 in the morning.
Sora brushed the tears that were on her face from the horrible dream. She pulled her knees up to her chest and hugged them tightly. It was just a dream. Just a dream. He's not dead. He's ok. Think about something else. C'mon Takenouchi! Get it together!
7 in the morning. I bet Yolei isn't even here yet! She jumped out of bed, quickly putting it back together. I can make breakfast for everyone, even Mimi and Palmon! They'll love it!
As Sora breezed through the kitchen, she stopped quickly. She retraced her steps back into the living room. Matt was snoring softly on one couch, while Mimi was sprawled on the other. Sora tilted her head to one side staring at the two.
Hmm… I'm wondering if I should feel upset, because at the moment, I don't feel that at all.
Sora turned and headed back into the kitchen and started on breakfast. I mean, Matt and Mimi. That's how I remember them! Mimi was just starting to like Matt. And I ruined it for her. Too bad I can't play matchmaker…I'm standing in the way!
The door opened and Yolei entered. She stared at Matt and Mimi sleeping in the living room. Yolei tilted her head and frowned. She then walked into the kitchen and scowled at Sora making breakfast.
"Sora," She whined. "I'm supposed to do that! That's what you guys hired me to do!"
Sora shrugged. "Good thing I don't remember that then!" She snickered, smirking at Yolei's irritated face. "Help me with the toast then."
Yolei glared at her, as she popped the toast in the toaster. "Fine. But don't think you'll get away with this all the time."
Matt's eyes slowly opened, as he heard voices from the kitchen. He sat up, rubbing his eyes, and then saw Mimi.
Oh no, Sora… He jumped up and ran into the kitchen. "Sora!" He said, a bit too loudly.
"Matt!" Sora jumped at sound of his voice, dropping an egg on the floor. "What's wrong?" She asked as she bent over to clean up the mess. Yolei jumped in, with a rag. "I'll get it."
Matt sighed. "I'm sorry Sora. I just figured that you saw Mimi and I sleeping out there together..." His eyes met hers. "No! Not like that! Not sleeping together, but, oh, you know what I mean…"
Sora waved her hand. "Matt. I know what you meant and I don't really care. I'm totally ok with it."
Matt looked at her surprised. "...Really?"
Sora looked at him, confused. "Of course, why wouldn't I be?" She turned back to the stove. "Want some breakfast?"
Matt stood there, staring at her. "Uh, No." He took a step back, scratching his head. "I'm uh, actually going to go back to bed. Do you mind if I take our room?"
"Go ahead!" she resisted the shudder as he said, "our".
5 minutes after Matt walked out of the kitchen, Mimi walked in. "Hey Sora, Yolei. Smells good!"
When the food was done, Mimi woke up the digimon, while Sora and Yolei set the food out onto the table. While they were eating, Mimi asked, "Where's Matt?"
"He went back to bed. Jet lagged still," Sora answered, taking a small bite. "Mimi," She said, once she swallowed, "What do you want to do today?"
Mimi propped an elbow onto the table and leaned her chin onto her palm. "I dunno. I'm still kind of tired," She said, poking at her food.
Sora grinned slyly. "Aw, C'mon Meems. Not even shopping?"
Mimi perked up. "Shopping? Okay!"
Yolei smiled. "Wow. That was easy."
Sora smiled over at Yolei. "You wanna come?"
Yolei shook her head. "As much as I'd like to, I can't. I promised Ken I'd come over today to study."
"Study huh? It's frickin summertime!" Mimi winked at Sora.
Yolei gave a small blush. "Uh, right." She glanced at her watch. "He uh, gets a head start. And I'm trying to get myself into that habit too. Heh. I uh, probably should get going anyways."
Sora stood up with Yolei. "Studying at 8 in the morning during the summer? Must be serious!" she grinned at the blush creeping up on Yolei's face. "I'm just messing. Go ahead, I'll take care of these." She gestured toward the dishes.
Yolei grinned. "Thanks Sora, I'll see you both later!"
Sora and Mimi cleared away the dishes, and in a few moments were heading to out the door to the mall.
The Crest of Love. I am the Bearer of the Crest of Love.
Sora watched Mimi shuffle through a clothes rack looking for a new mini skirt. I know Mimi still has feelings for Matt…I can just tell. Mimi pulled out a plaid skirt and held it up. Her eyes met Sora's for her approval. Sora shook her head.
"That's what I thought too," She said, pushing it back into the rack. Sora turned around and walked back to clearance section. She can't hide those feelings from me, of course, she thought, as she looked through the marked down clothes. I bear the crest of Love. I know love when I see it.
Well, except for my love.
She frowned as she pulled out a tank top. Fall was coming soon, and she knew that she would only get to wear it maybe once, before putting it away with the rest of her summer clothes. She skipped it and went onto something else.
Matt on the other hand seems to be all over me. Treats me like royalty, always concerned… but is it true love? He's not acting; I know that he does care for me. He is the crest of Friendship after all! But am I his number 1?
It sounded like selfish thinking, but that's how it was. Was it just a front that he put up around Sora?
If you love someone so much, you won't put anything else before him or her. I know this. Matt just seems…empty. Caring, concerned, but uninterested.
She sighed and turned around and joined Mimi again. I wonder if Matt deep down cares more for Mimi than he lets on…He may not show it, but I believe that it's there…I can tell.
"You ready to hit the next store?" Mimi asked, interrupting her thoughts.
Sora nodded. "Sure."
Mimi and Sora made their way to the register. Just as Mimi flopped the clothes onto the counter, the cashier spoke up.
"Sora!"
Sora looked up and met Gwen's stare. "Uh, hey," She said, a little hesitant at first. "Uh, Gwen, this is Mimi, Meems, Gwen."
Gwen shook hands with Mimi. "Ah! So you're Mimi."
Mimi glared back. "What's that suppose to mean!?"
"Nothing!" Sora said, jumping in. "Uh, Meems, why don't we go ahead and pay."
Gwen began ringing up the items thinking very hard about something. Sora was almost afraid to ask what was going through her mind when Gwen spoke up again. "Ah. The Crest of Sincerity."
Mimi looked at Sora before turning to Gwen's attention. "Yeah, that's me."
Gwen nodded, as she read Mimi her total. "I took the quiz and that's what digidestined I came up with!"
Sora's eyes narrowed. "What are you talking about?"
Gwen folded Mimi's clothes neatly, and placed them neatly into the bag. "I know I don't keep up with news on the digidestined, but I knew the Anniversary party was the other night, and I wanted to see how it went!"
Gwen bent her knees, searched under the counter and slapped a magazine onto the counter. "So I bought this to inform me about you guys!"
Sora's jaw went slack. Mimi studied the front.
Digidestined Reunion: Davis's Story pg. 27
Digidestined 101 pg. 28
Which Crest Suits You Best? Take Our Quiz Inside! pg. 30
"So naturally," Gwen went on. "I just had to read how it went! And of course, the history of the Anniversary, and the rest of the digidestined! I took the quiz, and it matched me up with the crest of Sincerity!"
Mimi glared at Gwen. Sora's mouth went dry. Why am I nervous? I'm freaking out, but I don't know why I am! I know this is bad for Gwen to know. But why? I can't figure it out!
Gwen flipped open to page 28 of the magazine. It showed a single shots of each Japanese digidestined, their crest, or digiegg and a few facts about them. Sora studied everyone's picture.
Gwen leaned on the counter and pointed to Tai's picture. "I read up on Tai Kamiya and found out that you guys were the best of friends! And I also found out that you two don't get along anymore. You never told me all of this!"
"I…didn't?" She asked shakily.
Gwen shook her head. "If you had, I would've followed Digimon like I do with Soap Operas!! Does he have a twin?"
Sora, turned white. "Who Tai? No," she croaked.
Gwen frowned, glanced at Mimi, before turning to look at Sora.
Oh Shit, Sora thought. She knows.
Gwen folded the magazine before putting it away. "Maybe it's my imagination, but I believe that Tai Kamiya, looks identical to your personal assistant, George."
There!
Honestly, I didn't want to go into detail about what exactly happened with Matt and Mimi in New York. but I figured, hey, you all deserved to know!
But we (At least I did!) all knew it was gonna happen!
Hmm. About Gwen. Don't think of her as a bad guy. Just think of her as a complete IDIOT. I haven't decided yet what she's going to do with this revelation, or if she does anything at all!
You'll just have to wait and see!
Please R&R! :)
