Eyes Don't Lie Part 2
My eyes widened as I saw who it was. Matt?! But if Matt's right here, then who's that I was just kissing. The two "Matt's" stared at each other in awe as their eyes widened and their mouth hung open. Slowly, I rose from the ground and stood in the exact middle of them. "W-What's..." I said slowly. Words could barely come out of my mouth. I shifted my gaze from one Matt to another.
"Mimi, who IS this guy?" The Matt who just kissed me asked.
"That's funny because that's exactly what I was about to say. And what are you doing kissing Mimi?" The other Matt yelled furiously.
"Gee, I think it's called because we're in love!" They yelled at each other furiously until I covered my ears, squeezed my eyes shut, and screamed a blood curdling scream.
"STOP IT!" I screamed as I broke down in tears again. I heard rapid footsteps and looked up. The footsteps stopped dead and the rest of the digidestined and digimon were standing there, staring at the two Matt's.
"Should I even ask?" Tai said quietly as he recovered from awe.
"I don't know!" I yelled as I clutched my head with my hands. A headache was killing. Palmon quickly rushed over to me and patted my back. Gabumon just stood there and watched the two Matt's. But they were completely identical, it was impossible to tell which one's which.
"Which one is my real brother?!" T.K. cried out. He began to cry also as Kari patted him on the back trying to comfort him. One of the Matts' looked really hurt and began to extend a hand to T.K., but then shrank back.
"T.K., it's ok, come over here." one of the Matts' said. He took a few steps towards T.K. and extended his hand. But T.K. shrank back, not knowing who to trust. Then, the Matt whom I kissed approached T.K. as he kept shrinking back. Tai walked in front of both him and Kari. Matt looked up and stared Tai straight into the eye. "What are you doing, Tai? You're preventing me from seeing my own brother?"
Then something in my mind clicked. Then, wiping hot tears from my face and eyes, I pushed the Matt in front of Tai. "Stop it! You're NOT his brother and I know it! Now whatever you are, back off!" I yelled as I glared at him straight in the eye. At first he looked frightened and surprised, but then that was quickly covered up.
"What are you talking about, Mimi? Come on, you know that I'm the REAL Matt. Don't listen to that fraud." He said in an innocent tone. But I could see through that in less than a milli-second.
"No you're not! Number one, I can tell by the look in your eyes. And number two, the real Matt loves T.K., he'd never do anything to scare him or hurt him. But even if T.K. shrink back, you still kept going. On the other hand, the REAL Matt stopped. He could tell that T.K. was scared!" I screamed. Very soon, everyone was staring at me, including Matt.
The real Matt began to walk over to them and T.K. ran over to him and hugged him. After patting his head and smiling at him a little, his gaze turned to me and our gazes locked. I've found what I couldn't find in the imposter's eyes.
"It's impossible! You couldn't have known! You must be a witch!" In an instant, the once Matt turned into a camilion look-alike digimon. We all crowded together as we watched the digimon turned into a shade of dark red with anger. His breath was heavy and his eyes seemed possessed despite of how red they were.
I heard Palmon gasped and turned to him. "It's Shiftmon!"
"Who?" Kari asked again.
"That's right, little flower. I'm the great Shiftmon, the shape-shifting digimon. Now that you've anger me, none of you shall live to tell the shame!" He said as he opened his mouth wide. Swarmed of bees threw from it.
"COME ON, YOU GUYS! DIGIVOLVE!" Matt screamed. Gabumon looked up at him and nodded.
"Gabumon digivolve to... Garurumon!"
"You do the same, Agumon!" Tai yelled.
"Agumon digivolve to... Greymon!"
"Don't worry, Mimi. I'll protect you." I heard Palmon say. By now, I was stunned with fear. I could barely feel any part of my body. "Palmon digivolve to... Togemon!"
I opened my eyes and found everyone running. I was just about to run when I heard loud crying. I turned my head and found Matt and T.K. T.K. was crying his heart out as Matt tried to lift the heavy log which pinned T.K. down. I looked at the group running then back at Matt and T.K. I had to make a decision in whether to help them and get stung by a million bees or just run with the group.
I closed my eyes and quickly ran towards the two of them. I put my two hands on the bottom of the log and raised it with all my strength at the same time as Matt. He opened his eyes and looked at me. "What are you doing here, MImi?! Run! I can handle everything here!" He screamed.
I tried lifting it up again. "No, I can't leave you two alone here!" The log finally lifted about one foot off the group but enough for T.K. to slide his foot out. But he just sat there. "What are you waiting for, T.K.? Hurry!" I yelled louder. I could help the digimon battling close by and knew that they could not hold on much longer.
"I can't!" He cried. "My leg won't move and everytime I try, it hurts so much!"
"Then try crawling out with your hands! Come on, T.K.! Hurry!" Matt grunted. Quickly, T.K. tried to crawl out with his hands pressed onto the ground and his back slided out. It took him a period of time but he finally managed to get it out. By now, the bees swarm all around us and I could feel a couple of them sting me on my arm. I winced everytime they injected their needles into my body.
Seeing this, Matt immediately lifted T.K. on his shoulders, grabbed my wrist and ran. I could feel his pulse beating the same time as mine. Very soon, we reached a cave where we found the others. It seemed like the bees didn't like the dark so they didn't follow us in there.
"Are you guys all right? We're so worried!" Sora exclaimed as she immediately walked over to us.
"Now that the bees are gone, I should go back out there to find the digimon and some food for storing. Kari, you stay here with them. I can't have you get hurt. While I'm gone, Sora, you can give the orders. Izzy, figure out where we are right now on your computer and whether it's safe or not. Joe, come with me. Maybe you can identify some plants or something that can help those bee stings and if the digimon are hurt badly, they might have to be treated to right away." Tai blurted out a bunch of orders. Then he came up to us and whispered. "You guys just rest and leave the rest to us. You've suffered enough for today." I could barely hear anyone else as I could feel myself drifting off to sleep. I felt burning hot but I broke a cold sweat also. I've never felt so dizzy and unbalanced in my life...
When I woke up, the fire was still burning but the sky turned dark. I felt something on my shoulder and turned to look. I found Matt's head resting peacefully on my shoulder and I leaned my head back on his. I smiled to myself as I felt him slowly stir. "I'm sorry, did I wake you up?" I whispered.
"No it's ok, I'd have had to get up sooner or later. Hey, where are the others?" For the first moment since I woke up, I realized that the cave was completely empty except the two of us. We got up and walked around to explore the cave. Then, about a few feet by the fire on a rock, we found a piece of paper. It was obviously typed and it was signed Izzy, Kari, T.K., and Sora.
I read it outloud even though my vision was still a little blurry. "We have to go battle for now but we'll be back. Tai just called for reinforcements and we really have to leave. But don't go anywhere because the beestings gave you guys fevers and it's really dangerous for you two to go out alone like that. You two should just stay there but be on the look out for evil digimon. It would be better if you two moved closer into the cave so you won't be as easily spotted. Take care until we return."
Matt's attention shot up. "I have to go get T.K.! It's not safe!" He said as he began to stand up.
I grabbed his forearm before he could go anywhere. "You heard them, don't go anywhere. Don't worry, Matt. I know that they're going to defend T.K. and Kari witht heir lives. You can trust our friends. And plus, you don't even know where they are. How are you going to find them? Just listen to me, Matt. There's nothing else we can do but to listen to them and move in closer to the cave. The fire is already built there for us now let's go." Matt reluctantly followed me closer to the fire.
He jammed his fist into the stone wall and his knuckles started bleeding. The sight disgust me and concerns me as well. I walked up to him and gently took his hand in mine. Personally, I think he looked at me like I'm a lunatic. I just smiled and ripped of a thin strip of my dress from the dress so now it reaches just a little up my knee. Both of us blushed as I wrapped the pink fabric around his bleeding knuckles. His blood instantly stained the cloth. "Don't do that to yourself. It won't solve anything." I said softly.
Then, I saw tears streaming down his face. "But you don't understand! I'm T.K.'s big brother and I'm supposed to take care of me. Now he's off to battle somewhere and he might even die and all I can do is sit here around a fire!" He said with obvious pain in his voice.
"I know I can never feel the pain you feel right now. But this really doesn't help the situation at all. In fact, it'll give me one more thing to worry about. I already have to worry about T.K., but now I have to worry about-" I looked up when I felt his breath on my hair. Then I realized how close our faces were. I looked into his assuring eyes and found my hands cupping his face gently, bringing it closer to mine. Then slowly yet gently, I pressed my lips against his. The gentle kiss turned passionate as he wrapped his arms around my waist. We pulled each other closer together as the kiss became more passionate.
Finally, we broke apart from air and we looked into each other's eyes. Even though they look the same, this Matt gave me a different feeling. It gave me this tingly feeling which I could barely describe, but I know that it's something wonderful.
We sat down on the hard floor and he leaned on the cold wall. I wrapped myself in his arms and leaned my head against his chest. I could feel it's rise and fall everytime as he breathed and my breathe matched his. We felt the warmth radiating each other's body. Finally, we fell asleep in peace... in each other's arms...
end of long flashback *@----}----{----@*
My fever seemed to have died down but Matt's seemed to be worse. I pulled myself away from my throne in his arms and got up. I was still adjusting to my dress's new length as I tried to pull it down a little bit more(it's like the length of the skirt from season two. It's not too slutty). I sighed as I felt my stomach grumbling again. I was just about to walk outside to get some food when I heard Matt groan in pain. I quickly rushed to his side and placed the back of my hand on his forehead, it was burning hot. "Oh my gosh, Matt. A-are you okay? " I stuttered out. Tears began to form in my eyes as I realized that I couldn't do anything at all to help him.
His grip tightened around my soft hands as tears rushed down my face. He slowly opened his eyes and he began to caress my face and wipe the tears away. "D-don't c-cry, Mimi. I-I'll be alright..." he whispered gently in my ear. I shook my head fiercely as I tried to think of what to do. It seemed like I was the only string he was using to hang on to life. But this string is falling apart. I freed my hands from his and bega to run clumsily out the cave, tripping on a few pebbles here and there.
I kept running until I found the pond which we were at before everything happened. I must have ran for hours because my feet have never ached so bad. I found it hard to breath after all that running. But without further ado, I filled my gloves with cold water and ran quickly back to the cave, making sure not a drop falls.
When I got back, Matt's face was burning red and he sweat terribly from the heat. By the time I got to him, my gloves were soaked with cold water. so placed them on his head to keep him cool. That was all I could think of to do. Tears streamed down my face as I realized that there was nothing I could do to make him better. I couldn't even save the one I loved so much. "I'm sorry, Matt. I failed you." I whispered softly as tears blurred my visinn.
Then I heard a cry. Someone was calling my name. I turned immediately around and found everyone standing there. Immediately, I threw my arms around Sora and cried for help. They told me that Shiftmon was controlled by an evil digimon but now everything is okay. Thank God Joe got the medicine which we needed to cure Matt. He was up and walking in a couple of days. But I could still remember that night in the cave. It was the most frightening yet wonderful night.
AN: I know that I rushed the ending a bit but bear with me please! ^_^
My eyes widened as I saw who it was. Matt?! But if Matt's right here, then who's that I was just kissing. The two "Matt's" stared at each other in awe as their eyes widened and their mouth hung open.
