Summer Vacation: Chapter 3
Matt was the first of the group to awaken. He looked across the aisle and smiled when he saw that Sora was sound asleep across Tai's lap. "Maybe Mimi won't even need to execute her plan," laughed Matt to himself. Izzy stirred to the sound of Matt's voice.
"What was that Matt," he said rubbing his eyes.
"Nothing," replied Matt, "Sleep well?"
"Of course I did, who couldn't sleep in these comfortable seats," replied Izzy, "I see that Tai and Sora made themselves comfortable. Should we wake them?"
"Not yet, lets let them sleep for a while," Matt chuckled.
"Whatever," said Izzy connecting his laptop up to the phone on the seat in front of him, "Uh...Matt, do you mind if I borrow your credit card again."
"Fine," said Matt sighing.
T.K. was the next to wake up and looked down at Kari who had somehow managed to tie herself up in his body. T.K. smiled and attempted to untie himself his movement woke up Kari.
"Good morning," Kari yawned siting up.
"Sorry I woke you," said T.K.
"It's okay," said Kari, "Are we almost there."
"Yah, I think we have about an hour left," replied T.K.
"Good, I can't wait to get there," exclaimed Kari.
Kari's eyes wandered around the plane and she gasped when she saw Tai and Sora.
"Oh my god, look at them," she squealed, "They are so cute."
"They are aren't they," agreed T.K., "Should we wake them."
Kari gave him a mischievous grin, "Oh yeah."
Kari and T.K. got out of their chairs and walked over to Tai and Sora.
"Wake up love birds," cooed Kari and T.K. together.
Tai opened his eyes and gave Kari and T.K. a confused expression.
"What?" he asked confused.
"Look down Romeo," giggled Kari.
Tai looked down and seeing the sleeping Sora in his lap turned dark red.
"Uhh....she um..fell asleep and I um... didn't want to wake her up," Tai stammered trying to recover.
"U huh, surrre," laughed T.K.
Sora stirred to the voices around her. She opened her eyes only to be met with two other pairs staring down at her.
"Good morning Sora," said Kari, "Sleep well."
"Yes I did," replied Sora still unaware that she was lying in Tai's lap."
"Well be sure and thank your pillow," laughed T.K. walking back to his chair.
"Huh," Sora replied confused, she looked at her pillow, "Why would I thank my pillow?"
"Because you pillow was Tai," joked Kari also walking back to her chair.
Sora looked up to see Tai blushing and smiling at her nervously.
"Um, good morning Sora," Tai choked.
Sora turned bright red and sat up slowly, "I'm sorry Tai, I must have fallen asleep."
"Don't worry about it," replied Tai attempting to remain cool, "I fell asleep to."
"Oh....so....what's for breakfast, " Sora asked trying to change the subject.
"Well, why don't you look at your menu and see for yourself, " said Tai pointing to the menu sitting in the seat pocket in front of her.
"We have menus?" Sora asked in disbelief then leaning forward and picking up her menu.
"Yep," said Tai, "There are four different dishes to choose from."
"Wow, I can't belief Mimi's parents bought us first class tickets," said Sora, "Service like this must cost a fortune."
"Probably," replied Tai.

After breakfast had been served the pilot announced that they were beginning their decent into Las Angeles. Matt and Joe, who had been conversing with a business man who was the president of a well known communication corporation, returned to their seats and buckled up. T.K. and Kari, who had been cuddling with each other while looking out the window, reluctantly separated and fastened their seatbelts. Izzy switched off his laptop and Joe packed up his books. Tai was attempting to reassure Sora that the reason the plane was dropping was because they were landing and not because an engine had exploded. Fifteen minutes later the plane was on the ground and parked at the terminal. The group disembarked and headed for immigration. It took them half an hour to get through immigration and customs and they still needed to get to the domestic terminal. There plane was scheduled to leave at 9:30 and it was already 9:00. The digidestined boarded a bus that took them to the domestic gates and in a mad rush, similar to the one in Home Alone, ran at top speed to their gate. They made it just as the final boarding was being announced and rushed onto the plane. After the group was settled in their seats, everyone let out a sigh.
"Few, that was closed," panted Matt, exhausted from the running.
"No kidding, a few more minutes and we'd have been stranded," said Joe.
The seating arrangement was the same as before except that this time the seats were much smaller, but no less comfortable. As the plane took off Sora, again, grabbed onto to Tai. Who tried to assure her that the plane was not going to crash. Once the plane was level, Izzy reconnected his laptop to the air phone and using Matt's credit card, which he had kept from last time, logged back onto the net.
"Hey everyone," called Izzy, "I got an e-mail from Mimi.
Matt looked over, "What does it say?"
"Um..let me read it," said Izzy, "It says:
Dear Izzy,
I just wanted to confirm with you guys that I will be meeting you at the gate. I think that when I talked to Matt I told him to look for me in my car, but I don't think I'll be able to wait that long so I am just going to meet you at the gate. Hope your flight has been good and tell the group I can't wait to see them.
Your friend,
Mimi
P.S. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU BROUGHT YOU STUPID LAPTOP. TURN OFF YOUR DAMN COMPUTER AND SOCIALIZE.... sorry, lol, just had to say that. Seeyaz.
Matt cracked up laughing when he read the last part. Izzy sweatdropped and turned off his computer.
"Hey Matt," asked Tai who had been listening, "What does she mean by her car?"
"Oh, I guess she didn't tell you," replied Matt, "Mimi is picking us up in HER Lincoln Navigator and SHE is driving us back to her house."
"WHAT!!!!!!" cried Tai, "THERE IS NO WAY I AM GETTING IN A CAR THAT SHE IS DRIVING, HOW CAN SHE BE DRIVING ANYWAY? SHE IS ONLY 17."
"The driving age in the United States is 16 Tai," replied Izzy (**NOTE** Just pretend the driving age in Japan is 18... I have no clue what it really is and I am to lazy to find out).
"16!!," shouted Tai, "THESE AMERICANS MUST BE CRAZY IF THEY LET 16 YEAROLDS DRIVE!!. ESPECIALLY MIMI, SHE CAN HARDLY RIDE A BIKE."
"Stop making fun of Mimi Tai," defended Matt, "She isn't incompetent."
"Well she sure used to act like it," said Tai, "Hopefully, for our sake, she has changed."
***
The flight continued uneventful and when the plane landed in New York the exhausted group gathered their carryons and disembarked the aircraft. As they walked out of the ramp the were greeted by a load squeal by Mimi. Sora and Kari dropped their luggage, ran to Mimi and threw their arms around her.
"I can't believe you guys are here," Mimi said beginning to cry.
"Neither can I," answered Sora also beginning to cry.
"Well don't we get a hello," said Tai
"Of course," said Mimi giving Tai, T.K., Izzy and Matt a hug.
"It's nice to see you again," said Matt while Mimi was hugging him.
"You too," she replied looking up and smiling at him.
The two stood embraced for a little while until Tai inerupted, "Umm..if you to don't mind I would like to get to Mimi's sometime before tomorrow.
Matt and Mimi pulled apart blushing. "Follow me," said Mimi leading them out of the airport.
She led them through the parking lot until they arrived at her car.
"Wow," gaped Tai, "That thing is huge."
"They've made bigger," replied Mimi laughing.
"Bigger than that?" Tai asked dumfounded.
"Yep, Americans seem to have some obsession with big cars," said Mimi, "I bought this to fit in with the rest."
"Weird," said Tai.
After all of the bags were loaded the group piled into the car.
"Umm.. Mimi?" asked T.K.
"Yah," she answered.
"There are only 6 seats and 7 of us," stated T.K.
"Oh," Mimi replied mischeaviously, "Well I guess someone will have to sit in somebody's lap."
"NOT KARI AND T.K." Matt and Tai shouted wiping the look of joy of T.K.'s face.
"Well I am not sitting in anyone's lap," said Joe.
"Me neither," agreed Izzy.
"Well I guess that leaves Tai and Sora," said Mimi happily, obviously proud that her plan was working, "So who's gonna be on the bottom."
Tai and Sora were stared at Mimi with blank expressions on their faces, then at each other and then back at Mimi.
"You've got to be kidding Mimi," said Sora.
"Unless one of you wants to walk," replied Mimi.
"Great," said Sora sarcastically, "Well I guess I am going to be in your lap again Tai."
"Again?" questioned Mimi.
Tai blushed, "Long story, lets get going."
"Okay," replied Mimi climbing into the drivers seat.
T.K, Kari, and Izzy climbed into the bench seat in the back. Joe took one captain seat and Tai and Sora took the other. Matt climbed into the front seat next to Mimi.
"Comfortable?" asked Tai nervously.
"Yeah I'm fine," trying to hide the fact that she was enjoying being so close to Tai.
"Hold on," said Mimi pulling out of the garage."
"What f..." Tai didn't get a chance to finish because Mimi floored the accelerator and speed out of the parking lot.
"OH SHIIITTTT!!" screamed Tai grabbing hold of Sora so she wouldn't fall.
Sora even though scared out of her mind managed to somehow blush at Tai's actions. Tai was also slightly blushing despite his obvious terror. Everyone was holding on for dear life as Mimi screamed down the freeway at 90 mph.
"Mimi, I do not think that this car was built to operate at this speed," started Izzy, "Judging by it's size and the added weight of the seven of us, I do not believe that traveling at this....." Izzy was cut of by a slap for T.K.
"Shut up and let her pay attention to the road," said T.K. "She isn't going to slow down and talking to her is only going to distract her."
"But I haven't explained that the center of gravtiy..." Izzy was cut off again by a puch from T.K.
"Just shut up and hang on!" exclaimed T.K. grabbing Kari's hand in his own.
The group held on for their lives as Mimi continued speeding down the freeway towards her home.

Note: Sorry this is so short but Homecomming starts in a couple hours and I need to get ready. I still have major writers block so I'm sorry if this is really boring. I don't really feel like checking it over for errors so forgive my mistakes. I am still trying to decide whether to focus more on Tai and Sora or Matt and Mimi or a combination of both. Please R & R to give me some ideas. Thanks again for reading and I hope to have the next chapter out soon.
