Do you believe in fate? Part 8

TK and Kari all entered the back room. Joe and Izzy took Tentomon back to let him rest.
"Matt, Tai!" TK called out.
"Tai!" Kari called out as well.
"TK, Kari." Matt said.
"TK, Kari. You're back." Tai said in relief.
The judge stepped forward and spoke out to everyone. "Hello everyone. Please rest for a while here. Later, someone will take you to meet the princess in another place. Tell then, make yourselves at home." The judge then left.
"TK, Kari." Tai started to warn them. "There is something wrong here. I got put here for some unknown reason. They must be planning something big. So be careful ok, just in case."
TK and Kari nodded. TK looked at Davis who was sitting down enjoying the food and drinks around him. "Excuse us for a second." TK asked kindly. TK and Kari walked towards Davis.
"Davis." TK called for Davis' attention.
"TK." Davis replied. "You already have Kari now. Why are you still here to try to win the princess?"
"You're wrong Davis." TK replied to him. "I'm here to ask Mimi a favor to help Matt out. Nothing else."
TK paused and looked at Kari. Kari smiled and TK looked back to Davis. "I also want to thank you for helping us out too."
Davis looked angry but looked away. "Davis." Kari spoke up. "TK definitely won't compete with you in this tournament. TK and I hope that later, you will win. So good luck."
Davis nodded in gratitude. "That's right. Now that I have want I love." TK looked at Kari. They both smiled happily. "I hope that you have the same luck that I did."
TK and Kari turned around and left Davis' table. A bell suddenly rang and a guide came out.
"Welcome all from afar. The princess will be ready in a few minutes. Please help yourself to the refreshments provided." The guide said.
"We already waited a long time." Someone spoke up. "We didn't come here to eat, we came here to win a prize, Princess Mimi. Now why don't you bring her out now."
"I can't believe that these people would treat Mimi as a prize." Matt said angrily.
TK, Kari, and Tai all nodded in agreement. The guide spoke again. "If that's the case, why don't you all come with me to the hall. There, you will meet the princess."
Everyone rejoiced. The guide left and everyone followed. "Kari," TK said, "why don't you stay here and wait. I'm be out soon." Kari nodded.
Tai, Matt, and TK followed the guide in. The guide led them to a big room with paintings on the wall.
Everyone was amazed to see how majestic this room was. Everyone went to admire the paintings, the digi-destined followed. One painting caught TK's eye. "Hey guys," TK asked everyone to come over. Tai and Matt came over. "Look at this painting. It looks like the angel we saw in the digital world when we fought Devimon."
Everyone looked closer. "You right." Matt said. "This painting definitely resembles the painting in the house we slept in when we first saw Devimon."
"All the paintings here," The guide told them, "are paintings that the princess asked people to draw."
"Oh," Tai said, "so that's why this is here. I wonder why Mimi would ask someone to draw this though."
"Maybe it reminds her of the digital world." Matt replied. Everyone seemed to agree to that.
"We aren't here to look at paintings," another person said, "we're here to meet the princess so ask her out now."
"Please wait a few minutes." The guide told them again.
"Why should we?" The same person replied. "I didn't come half way across the world to look at this."
"Princess Mimi has arrived!" A guard shouted.
"Finally." The person replied. Every guard and the guide kneeled before her.
There were curtains covering how Mimi looked. Since it's been years since the digi-destined saw her, they don't know what she looks like either. Everyone was still awed by her presence. Mimi sat down in her seat.
"Princess Mimi requests that all of you listen now." Everyone was silent and listened. The guide continued. "The princess now has three questions for all of you. If you answer to her satisfaction, then you will be asked to see her privately. All of you will only answer once though."
The guide leaned forward to Mimi. The guide spoke again. "The questions that the Princess will ask has already told me. Who will answer first?"
Everyone except Tai, Matt, TK, and Davis wanted them to be first. They were arguing.
"Don't argue anymore." The guide said. "The questions are all the same. So whoever goes first, will be at a disadvantage."
Everyone was silent. There was a huge wait of who would go first. TK stepped forward. "If it's like that, then let me answer first then."
"Oh, if it isn't TK Takashi. The princess has told me many things about you and your friends you brought along with you." The guide told him. "The princess asks three question. The first question is where is the place where you had the happiest time in your life?"
TK smiled and answered. "Down a dark, wet, well." Everyone except for Tai, Matt, and Davis laughed at him. Davis looked mad again.
"OK then." The guide continued. "Who in the world do you love most?"
"Kari Kamiya" TK replied. Davis looked angrier.
"You answered well TK. You don't need to answer the third question. Thank you." The guide told him.
TK expressed his gratitude and returned where Tai and Matt were standing. No one wanted to ask the questions now. Davis stepped forward.
"My name is Davis Motomiya. I'm here especially for the princess." Davis said.
"Davis, where is the place where you had the happiest time in your life?" the guide asked.
"My happiest time in my life is for the future, not the past." Davis replied.
"Then who in the world do you love most?" The guide asked again.
"I have never loved anyone in my life before." Davis looked at Mimi's shadow behind the curtain. "My love is definitely my future wife." Davis looked at Mimi to see if there is any response, none at all. Davis looked disappointed.
"Oh ok then. You don't need to answer the third question." The guide said.
Davis walked back. Mimi motioned the guide to ask Tai up. "Princess Mimi asks Tai Kamiya to step forward. The princess would Tai to answer the questions." The guide said.
Tai stepped forward. "I am him." Tai answered.
"Where in the world did you had the happiest time in your life?" the guide asked.
Tai reminisced about the times he had with Sora. The happy times, and the sad times. The times where they where in the digital world together, the time when they broke up. "The happiest time in my life, is when I went with a girl to watch the stars in the sky at night."
Princess Mimi seemed moved a little. The guide did too but he continued. "Then who in the world do you love the most."
"The person I love most is Sora, but she doesn't love me." Tai replied sadly.
The guide seemed to share Tai's feelings. "I'm sorry Tai. I'm sorry to have you bring it up."
"It's ok." Tai replied and stepped back.
Matt put his hand on Tai's shoulder and nodded. Tai seemed to calm down now. "The princess requests that Matt comes and answer a few questions." The guide said.
Matt looked confused. "Huh? Why me?"
"Don't worry Matt," Tai responded, "you'll do fine."
Matt hesitated but stepped up anyway. "Matt, can you tell the princess where you experienced the most happiest time in your life?"
Matt looked down at the ground and answered. "In a dark room with ice blocks placed around a bed."
Princess Mimi clutched her fist. The guide looked alarmed but continued with the questions. No one seemed to notice these movements. "Ok then," the guide said, "then who in the world do you love the most?"
Now Matt looked scared. He loved someone but he didn't know her name. "I don't know her name." Matt spoke.
"Oh ok then, that's ok." The guide said. "But at least you know what she looks like right? She must be really beautiful then."
Matt hesitated to answer again. "But I never got a chance to see what she looks like either."
The princess told something to the guide then left. Everyone else was arguing why the princess left without hearing them answer the questions.
The guide spoke up clearly. "The princess asks that Matt enters the palace to meet her personally."
"Huh?!?!" Matt was really confused now.
