Shattered Dreams: Peace by Child Of the Faeries
Part 4: Now that Matt is Gone..........
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon or any of it's characters.
"Remember me." His final words rung in all of their ears. Mimi sobbed and tried desperately to get Matt to say something more. T.K. collapsed, tears in his eyes. Sora pulled Mimi away, and Kari brought T.K. into the other room. Izzy shut Matt's door, pin pricks of tears filling his eyes.
Matt was gone. The realization of this hurt everyone.
His funeral was two days later. All of them attended, dressed all in black.
Tai wrapped his arms around Sora as Matt's coffin was lowered into the ground. T.K. and Kari were holding hands, tears streaming from their eyes. Izzy and Joe stood solemnly near their friends, wiping their eyes frequently to brush away the tears. All of the friends stood together. They were going to get through this......together.
Mimi stood alone.Matt, I love you Tears filled her vision. I love you, but I can't handle this, Matt. Please don't hate me.It's just so hard to me.........
Slowly, she walked away, passing silently through the trees. Everything was so peaceful that morning......but Mimi's heart was troubled.
T.K. began to sob, and Kari moved closer to enclose him in a hug. The others circled around him. None of them realized that Mimi was missing.
The 6 Digi-Destined stayed in that circle for a very long time. Finally Sora realized that Mimi wasn't there.
"Mimi?? Mimi!!!" she yelled, getting up and walked around the cemetery. She finally found Mimi huddled under a tree. "Mimi, what are you doing?"
"I just want to be alone, okay?" Mimi asked. Her eyes were still red from her tears. Getting up, she dashed away, leaving Sora staring in disbelief.
What's going to happen to us without Matt around?
Mimi continued to run until she collapsed beside a sculpture. She buried her head in her arms.
She stayed like that for awhile until she heard footsteps approuch and sit beside her. Softly she lifted her head.
T.K. gave her a small smile. She returned in, and they sat in silence. It felt good to know that her friends cared.
T.K. held out his hand and Mimi took it. Together they joined the rest of their friends.
Looking back, T.K.'s face faltered a bit. They had been sitting in front of angel. Someone's guardian angel.
Several days later Mimi returned to Matt's grave, flowers clutched in her hands. Kneeling in front of it, she lovingly read the writing on his headstone.
In Loving Memory of Yamato Ishida
Who will always be remember
By those who loved him most.
Far off, she heard the clumsy sound of a harmonica being played by someone who didn't know how to play. "Matt....." Mimi breathed.
Suddenly T.K. and Kari appeared. They saw Mimi and walked over to join her, one on either side.
Far away, Tai and Sora were eating when he suddenly stood up. "C'mon Sora." She gave him a weird look, but stood up and took hold of his hand. They got into his car and he started to drive.
Izzy was busy punching in some figures for math when the phone rang. It was Joe. He was heading out to Matt's grave and wanted to know if Izzy wanted to come with. He thought about it and finally agreed. Joe arrived 10 mintues later, and they set off.
Mimi looked surprised when Tai and Sora showed up hand in hand. A few minutes later Joe and Izzy came.
All seven of them sat around the grave, not saying anything. Finally Sora spoke up. "I miss Matt."
The Crest of Love.
"Me too. It's weird without him around," Joe said, pushing his glasses up.
The Crest of Reliability.
"At least he didn't suffer for long," Izzy tried to console the group. "He could have suffered for much longer."
The Crest of Knowledge.
T.K. said sadly, "I just hope he's happy where ever he is right now."
The Crest of Hope.
"He's happy, T.K. He's in a place full of happiness- no sadness." Kari said, smiling gently at her boyfriend.
The Crest of Light.
"And he's watching us always. He'll never leave," Tai said.
The Crest of Courage.
"That doesn't make losing him any easier for us," Mimi softly, never moving her eyes from his tombstone.
The Crest of Sincerity.
The Crests glowed, a circle of golden light engulfing the seven Digi-Destined and Matt's grave. Mimi looked down at the other Crest she was wearing.
The Crest of Friendship didn't glow.
Slowly a tear from her face hit the ground, and she closed her eyes.
Suddenly she felt herself falling..... falling..........forever into Darkness......
When she opened her eyes, she wasn't in the cemetary.
"Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore," Tai said from behind her. She turned, and everyone started to stand up.
They were in a place unlike anything on Earth. It was a place full of light. The ground was like white velvet, silent and sleek. Rich blue trees grew out of the velvet ground, and ice blue streams meandered through the trees.
Each one of them walked around the area, exploring the foreign and beautiful place.
Mimi stumbled further into the forest. She could hear......the elusive sound of harmonica music tumbling through the trees, just beyond her hearing. Everyone else followed her.
The landscape grew more and more beautiful as they progressed. There were huge cliffs of ice, impressive and startling. But there was no animal life or signs of human inhabitants.
"Where are we?" Kari whispered to Tai. Suddenly a figure moved from behind one of the trees.
HIs blue eyes were vibrant blue firecrackers. He was dressed like he had been when they had all first when to the Digi-World- green shirt, blue jeans, and a silver Tag glimmering brightly.
"Matt!!!!!!!" T.K. and Mimi yelled in unision. He moved closer to them, blurring and distorting with every movement.
Everyone was smiling. Grinning. Their Crests glowed brighter than they had ever had before.
He stopped a good 10 feet from the group. " What is this place, Matt??" Tai asked, stepping forward.
"And how can you be here?" Kari asked, clutching T.K.'s hand excitedly.
"This is Peace." Matt bowed his head slightly, and touched his silver Crest. "I have the Peace of Friendship." Everyone looked at their Tags and then back at Matt's.
While theirs were gold, his was a bright silver. The Crest inside, also, was a birght blue that cast a bluish film around him, wrapping him in the light.
"You come here when you find Peace within yourselves," he continued, looking away. "I've found Peace, and so now it's time that you let me go."
Mimi stepped forward, trying to reach him. But his body fragmented and blurred as she touched his face. He rippled and took a step back.
"Mimi dear, you can't reach me. I'm on the other side already. It's too late for that." He looked around, soaking in the sight of his friends for one last time.
"I'm happy here. I don't hurt anymore." His eyes sparkled, and he gave them all a huge smile from the bottom of his heart.
"It's time that you return to your world," he said a few minutes later, turning to look at the horizon.
"Matt, we don't want to leave you," Sora said sadly. He gave them another smile.
" I belong here. You belong back home. Someday we'll be together again. Here. In Peace. No more hurt, no more fights. Just Peace."
Suddenly Garurumon appeared, and Matt climbed gracefully onto him back.
"Matt....." Mimi began," Please don't leave. I've already lost you once, and I don't want to lose you again."
He got off of Garurumon and walked over to her. Then slowly he kissed her, fragmenting and splitting into a million bits of sparks.
His kiss felt like butterfly wings softly fluttering- butterfly kisses. Cold and unreal, like the kiss of a ghost. He stepped back and resumed his original figure."Nothing truely dies unless it's forgotten." He then climbed back onto Garurumon and he started to run fast through the trees. Mimi closed her eyes, and felt her world shattering........
They all opened their eyes, and found themselves sitting around Matt's grave.
Mimi blinked her eyes. Was all of that just a dream? A figment of her imagination?
She looked around at all of her friends faces, and then looked at Matt's grave. She no longer needed to cry.
In fact, in her heart, she knew that she had finally let Matt go. He was waiting for her in a place beyond pain and sadness. And she would be with him someday.
She stood, as did everyone else.
"I love you, Matt," she said softly, without tears," And I'll never forget you."
Turning, she started to walk away.
"But now it's time to let go."
