Friday - moonchild
Disclaimer: SURPRISE! I don't own digimon.
Mimi sat back in her chair and watched her friends eat dessert. So far the
dinner had been a total success.
"This is lovely Mimi!" Emily commented, eating another spoonful of chocolate
cake.
"It sure is... But anyway let's cut to the chase! Where's Yamato?" Michelle
asked eagerly.
She had been on the edge of her seat all night, looking anxiously at the doorway
every two seconds. Mimi smiled nervously, and opened her mouth to speak when -
"I'm here!" a male voice piped up from behind Michelle. Mimi looked up.
"Oh Matt!" she sighed, stood up and threw herself into the blonde's arms.
"Mimi." he whispered, there was something strange about his voice but Mimi
didn't care - he'd turned up! She looked up into his deep brown eyes... Brown
eyes?!
"Wait a moment, that's not right!" Mimi muttered to herself. The boy grinned at
her. "Tai?!"
"I thought I'd help you out, like the hair?" he whispered. Suddenly Mimi felt
dizzy and everything went black as she fainted...
"Argh! Help me!" Mimi screamed as she found herself running with Togemon through
the forests of the Digital World.
"It's no use running, Digi-Destined!" Etemon shouted wickedly as he ran after
her. Togemon had tried to fight him, but he was too strong.
"Togemon, you have to Digivolve!" Mimi pleaded.
"I can't Mimi!" Togemon told her.
"Why not? I'm in trouble!" she wailed.
"Because your crest isn't glowing." the giant cactus explained. Mimi looked down
at her crest.
"I haven't been very sincere recently, have I?" she sighed. "I guess this is the
end then..." everything went black again as Etemon cornered them, an evil grin
on his face...
Mimi screamed as her alarm went off. She sat up quickly and realised she was
shaking violently. She'd always hated Etemon the most, he was the most
frightening thing she'd ever faced, and had a tendency to turn up in her
nightmares, but with the upcoming dinner in her
mind it made the nightmare seem even worse.
"Tonight's gonna be a disaster!" she wailed pitifully and began to cry. It was
obvious that she'd gotta tell Emily and Michelle the truth, or something
terrible was going to happen.
"Enough with the crying Mimi, it's time to get started." she told herself
firmly, and got out of bed.
As Mimi made herself breakfast she tried to think of a way to tell her friends
that she'd been lying all along.
"Look guys," she said to her bowl of cornflakes, "I've gotta tell you something.
I've not been entirely honest with you... Actually I've not been very honest at
all. The truth is... Well... I do know Yamato - we go way back... And we were
going out, but we split up two months ago!" she could almost picture Emily and
Michelle looking at her scornfully. "I'm sorry, I know you must hate me for
lying but I totally deserve it - I'm a fraud!" with a sweep of her arm the bowl
was sent crashing to the floor. She put her head in her hands and wept.
What seemed like only a few moments later, Mimi was awoken by the phone.
"Hello, you have reached Mimi Tachikawa." the answering machine kicked in, "I'm
afraid I can't get to the phone right now, but it you leave a message after the
tone I'll get back to ya a.s.a.p.! Ciao!" it was followed by a loud beep, then -
"Mimi?" a voice began to speak.
"Urrgh?" Mimi replied sleepily.
"It's Emily here, just thought I'd phone to see if we were still on for
tonight... Hey!" she suddenly stopped talking and Michelle cut in.
"Heeey Meems! Tell Yamato I can't wait to him!!! Byyye!" the phone was hung up.
"Bye." Mimi replied to herself forlornly. She then looked up at the clock and
screamed - it was 11.45 - she'd been asleep for almost 4 hours!
"Argh! What is it with this table?!" she exclaimed. "I seem to spend more time
asleep here than in my own bed!" she jumped up, then almost slipped on the
broken bowl. She sighed with frustration then began to clear up.
Matt was sat in the park yet again, this time in a better position just in case
someone came jogging past and decided to take a flying lesson over his legs
again. He couldn't get Mimi out of his head, he was so glad they'd kind-of made
up but he knew that things could never be the same again. He still loved her -
but did she still love him? It was driving him crazy, his fellow band members
could even see that and at the moment it was last thing they needed. Tomorrow
night would be the biggest concert he, Anton and Xavier had ever performed at.
He kicked some dirt up and sighed.
"Hey Matt!" Tai greeted him. He and Sora were walking through the park together.
"Hey Tai, Sora." he replied.
"What ya doin?" Sora asked, sitting down next to him.
"Nothin." he answered.
"Oh, well Tai and I... Ooh that rhymes! Well we're going for a romantic
picnic... I'd invite you but.. Well it's kinda personal!" she giggled. Matt
rolled his eyes.
"Great." he muttered. Tai noticed how troubled he looked.
"Hey Sora why don't you go and find us a nice spot?" he handed her the bag he
was carrying
and she ran off. "Are you OK Matt? Are you still thinking about Mimi?" Matt
nodded. "Aaah... Hey I'm sure you'll get back together, actually I'm really
sure!" Tai smiled with confidence.
"I dunno... Anyway I wasn't thinking bout that, I was thinkin bout Wednesday."
Matt told him.
"Why?" Tai looked at him inquisitively.
"It was just something she said... Something about false promises?"
"Ahhh I bet that'll be about that dinner!" Tai explained Mimi's situation to
Matt.
"She can be so stupid sometimes." Matt commented. "Sometimes I can't believe she
had the Crest of Sincerity!" Tai nodded.
"Anyway, I gotta go. See ya soon Matt." Tai got up and left Matt feeling more
confused than ever.
It was 6.00 - two and a half hours to go till Emily and Michelle arrived, and
Mimi was having no luck whatsoever. She'd made a total mess of the casserole and
the cake had burnt. She finally decided that she'd phone her favourite
restaurant and order dinner to be delivered.
She was just dialling the number when the doorbell rang. She sighed and picked
up the speakerphone.
"Hello?" she muttered.
"Hey Mimi! Thought we'd come and give you a hand!" Kari piped up. Mimi smiled to
herself and buzzed them in. Soon Kari, T.K., Tai, Sora and Izzy were sat around.
Joe couldn't make it as he was once again in surgery and Matt had band practice.
"How did you guys know that I was in trouble?" she exclaimed.
"Just a good guess!" T.K. grinned.
"Sooo, what can we do to help?" Sora beamed.
"Weeell.... You can help me make dinner!" Mimi announced. She told them what
she'd planned.
"OK, Sora and I will make the casserole, Kari and T.K. - you help Mimi make the
cake, and Izzy can set the table!" Tai decided as he (once again) took the lead.
Everyone piled into the kitchen and began to look at the ingredients. Mimi had
luckily bought enough to have two attempts - so they were prepared. Izzy grabbed
the cutlery and went to lay the table out. Very soon Tai and Sora were fighting
over something (nobody knew what) and Kari, T.K. and Mimi were covered in flour
and chocolate cake mixture.
"Hehe... I just remembered! Perhaps chocolate cake wasn't such a good idea!"
Mimi giggled and told them about her strange dreams.
"That dream with Etemon sounded scary!" Kari commented.
"I had blonde hair?!" Tai exclaimed in horror.
"Why were you dreaming about my boyfriend?" Sora demanded.
"I had blonde hair?!" Tai repeated.
"Wait... What's Matt gotta do with this dinner?" T.K. asked suspiciously.
"I HAD BLONDE HAIR?!" Tai repeated again - he looked absolutely horrified. The
others just looked at him. "What?!" he exclaimed. "I had BLONDE HAIR!"
"T.K.... About Matt... I think I'd better tell you the real purpose of this
dinner..." she explained about how she'd lied to Michelle and Emily.
"Uh oh... That's baaaad." Kari remarked.
"Very." T.K. added.
"Not as bad as the thought of me with blonde hair!" Tai pointed out. Kari hit
him over the head with a wooden spoon. "Ouch!"
"What am I going to do?" Mimi sighed, and sat down.
"Hey don't worry! Leave it to us!" Tai announced. Sora, Kari and T.K. looked at
him sceptically.
"Why does that worry me even more?" Mimi murmured. Everyone except for Tai
sniggered.
"What?!" he exclaimed.
"Nothing!" they all replied.
"OK, look Mimi you go get ready - we'll tidy up and then get outta here - the
casserole will be ready in five minutes and the cake in about twenty." Kari told
her. Mimi nodded.
"Thanks guys, what would I do without you?" she hugged them all.
"Awww it's no problem Meems, you're a friend!" T.K. grinned.
"Kari - will you stay and help me get ready?" Mimi asked. Kari nodded. "Thanks!"
"Hey what about me?" Sora asked.
"I need you to come with me Sora." Tai said quickly.
"Why?" she asked suspiciously. Tai just looked at her. "Oh, OK." she smiled.
"OK, I'm gonna take a shower - thanks again guys!" Mimi shouted as she went to
the bathroom. "Oh and Tai - don't dye your hair OK?" Tai grinned.
At exactly 8.30 the doorbell rang. Mimi finished lighting the candles then
looked at herself in the mirror. Kari had worked wonders with her make-up. She
was wearing a beautiful sleeveless light cerise dress that fell elegantly to the
floor (one of her own designs, naturally.). Her hair fell to her shoulders
perfectly curled under. She smiled at herself, then
looked anxiously at the table. Izzy, after hearing about the Matt situation, had
set out four places. She sighed then went to the speakerphone as the doorbell
rang again.
"We're here Mimi." Emily announced.
"Come on up." Mimi buzzed them in.
"Oooh it's soo beautiful!" Michelle beamed.
"It sure is..." Emily looked around sceptically. "Soo, where's Yamato?"
"Yes, yes where is he?" Michelle asked excitedly. "I really can't wait to meet
him!"
"He might not be able to make it - big band practice y'see. But he said he'd try
his best - he really wants to meet you guys..." Mimi told them. Michelle beamed
again but Emily continued to look unimpressed. Mimi sighed in her head. "There's
just no pleasing some people." she thought to herself as she went to get the
main course.
Soon they were eating the chicken casserole which, (unbeknownst to Emily and
Michelle) had been prepared by Tai and Sora.
"This is delicious!" Michelle complimented.
"Why, thank you!" Mimi smiled, and looked at the clock. Suddenly the phone rang.
"Excuse me for a moment." she got up and answered. "Mimi Tachikawa spea..."
"Mimi, look out of you window!" Tai suddenly cut in. She walked over and looked
out curiously. Her face lit up as she saw Tai, Sora and T.K. wave at her, with
them was Matt! He looked up at her seriously. "Matt's gonna let himself in OK?
Like he used to when you guys were dating."
"OK, thank you!" she said quietly. "You guys rule!" she hung up and smiled at
Michelle and Emily.
"Who was that?" Emily asked.
"Oh.. Just someone from work." she replied as she sat down to continue eating.
Michelle was about to ask something when they heard the door open.
"Meems I'm here!" Matt called out. Michelle's face lit up and Emily dropped her
fork in amazement.
"Matt you made it!" Mimi jumped up and walked out into the hallway to greet him.
He was dressed quite smartly, but not too smartly. His jaw dropped when he saw
Mimi.
"Wow." was his only word as she hugged him.
"I'm sooo glad you're here." she whispered.
"It's OK, why didn't you just tell me?" he joked. She playfully hit him over the
head.
"Idiot!" she grinned. "Come in and meet my friends!" they walked into the dining
room hand-in-hand. "Emily, Michelle, I'd like you to meet my... Boyfriend
Yamato, Matt honey this is Emily and Michelle." Emily stood up and shook his
hand.
"Nice to meet you." she said simply. Meanwhile Michelle was sat with eyes wide
as saucers.
"Oh... My.... God!" she finally managed to exclaim. "I... Love you!" Matt
laughed, his blue eyes sparkling.
"Sorry, I'm already taken." he apologised, then much to Mimi's surprise kissed
her on the cheek.
"Errm, why don't you sit down and I'll get your dinner." she said rather
faintly, and slowly made her way into the kitchen.
The dinner was, to say the least, a complete success. They'd all had a wonderful
time chatting about their favourite things. Of course Matt and Mimi had to make
up a few things about their 'relationship', but neither of them minded.
"Thanks for the wonderful evening Mimi, Matt." Emily said as her and Michelle
were leaving.
"Yes, it's been GREAT!" Michelle exclaimed, hugging Mimi tightly. "I owe you
one!" she whispered.
"Hehe, I'll hold you to that!" Mimi laughed.
"It's been great to meet you guys after hearing Mimi talk about you!" Matt told
them.
"You too Matt. Anyway come on Michelle it's time we got outta your hair bye!"
Emily grabbed Michelle by the sleeve of her jacket.
"See ya soon Mimi!" Michelle called as she was dragged out.
"Bye!" Mimi called back. "Phew!" she sighed. Matt laughed.
"Michelle certainly is a lively one!" Mimi smiled at him.
"Wanna stay for a while?" she asked.
"Sure." Matt smiled back and they went to the lounge. Mimi poured them each a
glass of wine and they sat down.
"That was.. Interesting." Mimi commented.
"Definitely." Matt replied.
"So, how did they persuade you?" Mimi asked.
"What?" Matt asked in confusion.
"The others, how did they persuade you to come?"
"They didn't." he told her truthfully. "They told me about your problem, and
well I thought about that saying 'a friend in need is a friend indeed', and well
you're a friend!"
"Oh Matt, you're so sweet." she kissed him on the cheek. He turned away from her
as he turned bright red. Suddenly he reached into his pocket.
"I almost forgot to give you this." he handed her a ticket. "It's for tomorrow
night's gig, the others are all going too."
"Front row." she smiled. "Thanks Matt, I'll be there."
"Great." he grinned. "I'm glad we're friends again Mimi, I missed our little
chats."
"Me too, me too." she replied.
"Anyway I better go, see you tomorrow?" Matt stood up.
"Sure thing." she walked him to the door.
"Well... Bye." he looked into her warm hazel eyes, and before he knew what he
was doing he'd swept her up in his arms and they were kissing each other
passionately, just like before they split up. Mimi suddenly pushed him away.
"I think you'd better go Matt." she said shakily.
"Y... Yeah I guess so." he said in the same tone. He hurriedly shut the door and
ran out of the building. "You fool Ishida!" he shouted at himself. Meanwhile
Mimi was leant against the door crying.
"Oh Yamato, why did I push you away?" she sobbed.
