"I-I'm sorry, Mimi. I guess I really did screw up bad......" Tai stammered, his anger subsiding.
"Hey Tai, why don't you just relax here and think things over? You really should blow off some steam before you go home and get Kari all worried." Joe offered, looking Tai straight in the eyes.
Tai felt as if he was pierced by those black eyes of Joe's, and gave up arguing. He nodded and sat down next to the window, not speaking anymore.
"C'mon, Mimi. It'll be alright now." Joe noticed Mimi's tears and gently escorted her out of the room. Mimi just continued sobbing and was guided out by Joe, who gave a final glance at Tai before closing the door.
'Geez, why did Mimi get so worked up? It's not like if she likes me or something. L-like... me?! Can it be? Mimi liking me?' Tai tried to gather his thoughts, but he was so exhausted he fell asleep instead.
"Ssh, Mimi. It's alright now." Joe comforted the sobbing girl in his arms gently, her tears had already stained half of shirt wet. He didn't know what to do but to let her cry it all out.
Mimi finally stopped crying, and looked Joe in the eyes. Her brown eyes were filled with sadness, and she decided that the owner of the black eyes is trustworthy enough for her to spill her secret. "Joe, can I tell you something? But you must promise me to not tell anybody, okay?"
"Sure, Mimi. What is it?" Joe asked as he took his glasses off and wiped it.
"I-it's..." her voice dropped to a whisper, "I l-like...Tai......"
"What?! Mimi, you like him?!" he was surprised, and almost dropped his glasses, but he immediately changed his tone to a comforting one. "For how long?"
"Ever since he started going out with Sora. I felt like my heart was ripped in half when I heard their news. And to think that I almost told him how I feel before... I thought I would get over it sometime, but I never did. I loved him too much......" Mimi's words trailed off as a small tear made its way down her cheek.
"Mimi... I don't know what to say, but the only thing I can tell you, as a friend, is that you should follow your heart."
"Follow my heart...?" she echoed Joe's words, and decided that he was right. She then offered him a small smile, "Thank you, Joe."
"Anytime. Maybe I could be the next Dear Abby!!" Joe joked, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. Mimi responded with a hearty laugh, which washed her troubled thoughts away, temporarily.
"Sora, you think you're over Tai completely now?" Mimi asked , clutching the phone tightly.
"Definitely. I'm sure Matt is the one my heart belongs with, not Tai. Tai was my past, and my future is Matt." Sora answered in a confident tone. 'Why would Mimi ask that?' she thought, and rolled her eyes.
"Then I guess I can tell you this after all......" Mimi said, tensing up again.
"What is it, Mimi? You can tell me anything, you know, I'm your best friend after all. Is it something to do with Matt? Or possibly, Tai...?" Sora felt her friend getting nervous, and thought she needed support.
"No, it's nothing to do with Matt. I-it's... Tai." Mimi stammered, and continued. "I like him."
"Huh?! No kidding?" Sora was shocked, but she came to her senses quickly. "Did you tell him?"
"No, I don't think he got over you yet, so......" she trailed off again.
"I'm sure he'll get over it quickly. And if you are going to tell him, the sooner the better. That way, you'll know if he's worth it or not, and if he does like you, there, happy ending." Sora told the pink haired girl her thoughts.
"Okay. I'll tell him tomorrow. Thanks, Sora."
"You're welcome, remember to tell me what happens, okay?"
"Okay."
Ring ring!!
"Coming!" Mimi called out, and hurried towards the door. She found Matt and Sora standing there, hand in hand.
"Just thought we will go to school together today." Matt shrugged and explained, while Sora just stood there, giving Mimi a knowing glance.
Mimi responded by giving Sora a small smile, she was glad that Sora didn't spill it out to Matt. Sora wasn't a blabbermouth, anyways. "Just let me grab my bag." she rushed to her room and was out walking with them pronto.
"So, you ready...?" Sora asked.
"Yep, I'll do it after school." answered Mimi.
"Do what?" Matt was puzzled at the girls' conversation. Both of them just rolled their eyes and giggled, leaving Matt even more confused. "What?"
Mimi approached Tai and asked him, "Tai, can I talk to you after school?"
"Sure. Meet you at the park, then." Tai looked at Mimi, and was surprised to see that she seemed more pretty today. 'Huh?! What was I thinking? Argh!!!"
"See you then."
Sora ignored the hateful stares from the admirers of Matt and walked over to Mimi. "So, how did it go?"
"Fine. I'll tell you afterwards." Mimi noticed the stares Sora received, and laughed out slightly. "Geez, I think you'll have a pretty tough time getting out of this, being the girlfriend of their idol. Where's Matt?"
"Hiding from the girls, as usual. He thought that the fact that he was taken would shake them off, but instead, it made them crazier." the red haired girl replied, shaking her head. 'Seems like Matt is destined to be chased by girls. Too bad, that's what being the dream babe, a star of a cool rock band, have. Popularity, and people chasing him down the hallways.' she thought dully, and chuckled to herself.
"Good luck." Sora told her best friend as the final bell rang, signalling the end of the day.
"Yup. See ya later." Mimi said, gathered up her books and bags, and left to head off to the park.
Matt came around and slipped his arms around Sora's waist. He leaned forward and gave her a kiss on the cheek, saying slowly, "Any plans after school?"
"No. How about a walk?" Sora turned around, wrapped her arms around his neck, and slowly looked up into his eyes.
"Okay." Matt lifted up Sora's chin, and kissed her passionately, in spite of everyone's stares. Both of them fell into their own little heaven again, only after five minutes that Sora noticed everyone looking at them. Some cheered and gave 'oohs and ahhs', yet others stared with mad jealousy.
Sora blushed and freed herself from Matt, who took her hand and led her out of the school building. They walked through the streets, and Matt stopped when they reached a tiny little park that was full of roses and lillies.
"Have I told you that I love you today?" Matt asked, smiling.
"So are you going to tell me the tenth time now?" Sora smiled back.
"Yes. Ai shiteru, my angel." he locked his eyes with Sora's, holding it.
"Ai shiteru, Yamato." she whispered, and Matt gently covered her lips with his. The kiss seemed like eternity, and when they finally pulled back, they settled into each other's arms. As they sat down, Sora snuggled up to Matt, as if Matt's arms are the safest place on Earth. He smiled, and kissed her soft hair, enjoying the moment.
"So Mimi, what is it that you want to tell me?" Tai asked her, feeling himself tense up.
"I-I just want to tell you that... I like you. No, don't interrupt me, I need to finish this. I liked you ever since you started going out with Sora, but I kept it low. It hurted a lot to see you two together, but now you guys broke up, and Sora found the person her heart had searched for...... So, just answer me if you like me back or not. Just a simple yes, or no." Mimi finally got it all out, and felt a lot more at ease. She was prepared for his answer.
"I, Mimi... I don't know. I'm confused, and I don't know what my heart wants." Tai stammered, lost in thoughts.
"Maybe this will help." Mimi blushed slightly, gathered up her courage, and leaned forward to give Tai a deep kiss on the lips. "So, how about now?"
Tai felt as if he was washed over by Mimi's love. He smiled a seductive smile, and whispered into her ears, telling her the words she had longed to hear. "Ai shiteru, Mimi Tachikawa." Watching her eyes widening in surprise, he pulled her into a passionate kiss.
Time seemed to stop for them, and when they finally broke from the kiss, Mimi gave Tai a huge smile. She whispered back, "Ai shiteru, Taichi Kamiya."
Four angels giggled at their guardians, satisfied that all of them had found where their hearts belong to.
With the names of Friendship and Love, Courage and Sincerity.
