Do you believe in fate? Part 9

"That's right Matt, you." The guide said.
Matt looked to TK and Tai. "How come it's me?" Matt said.
"Matt, don't worry. Mimi your friends. You can use this chance to ask her for her help." TK replied.
Matt was hesitant but nodded and left with the guide. Davis looked confused to why princess Mimi chose Matt and no one else. The guide led Matt down a dark hall. Matt looked around, the place looked familiar to him but he wasn't exactly sure. He was led down some flight of stairs, the guide stopped.
"Matt, down these stairs, princess Mimi will be waiting for you. Please continue on. I'll be leaving now." The guide said and then left Matt to venture forward for himself.
Matt entered a room, a lightened room by candles only. A table supported the candles and around it, there were many ice blocks. Also surrounded by ice blocks was a bed. The curtains were down but Matt could see a little through. Inside, Mimi was waiting for him.
Matt seemed to be here before. The ice blocks, the bed, everything except for the candles was very similar to a place he has been. Matt walked to the bed. He thought of bowing before the princess but Mimi would get mad at him for that. So he entered the bed and sat down. It was a little darker inside the curtains so Matt couldn't see what Mimi looked like.
Before Matt could talk, Mimi took Matt's hand slowly and gently. She rubbed it softly to comfort him. Matt has definitely felt this before. Mimi moved her other hand and caressed Matt's face like she did before. Matt looked at her carefully. She took his hand and made him caress her face. As she was doing this, she lit a candle. Something hit Matt's mind.
"You're the person that was with me a few nights ago?" Matt asked.
"I finally found you. I dreamed of this day before. Tell me I'm not dreaming." Mimi begged. "We finally met again."
"Mimi," Matt said, "I love you."
"Matt," She replied, "I love you too."
Matt wrapped his hands around Mimi and she put her hand on Matt's shoulder. They were so happy that they finally met. They didn't say anything for a while. Matt kept on stroking Mimi's hair gently, Mimi savored the moment. They were in love.
Everyone else in the other room was arguing about why the princess took so long. The guide came back out and everyone quieted down. "Everybody," the guide started, "Princess Mimi has already picked who she loves."
Everyone straightened their shirt knowing it was themselves. Davis smiled confidently.
"The person that Princess Mimi loves is," The guide said, "Matt Ishida."
Davis looked devastated. Everyone else was disappointed too. Tai and TK were happy that Matt won. Davis looked bad, not only did he lose the tournament, he also lost Kari as well.
"Since everyone came from far away, you may take one of the paintings from the wall." The guide said.
No one was interested in the paintings. They lost what they came for so they left. TK didn't leave though. "Hey Tai," TK said, "I want to take the angel painting, is that ok with you?"
"No problem," Tai replied.
TK went over and picked the painting off the wall. "TK?" The guide said.
TK looked back to the guide. "Your brother Matt has a message for you." The guide said. He handed a letter to TK. He expressed his thanks and the guide left.
TK and Tai read the letter:
Dear brother
I'm fine just to let you know. I'm really happy here, I won't leave but once I settle in, I'll come and meet you guys in the room. Just wait for me. Thanks.
Matt
They were both really happy that Matt was too. Everything was fine there so they left. The only person left in the room was Davis. He still devastated that he didn't win. He shook his head in disappointment and looked down to the ground. He started to walk out but stopped in his tracks. He still didn't believe that he lost, but continued out.
Kari was waiting patiently in the back room. She heard a lot of people come out and very disappointed as well. Then she saw TK and Tai come out. She smiled and ran over to TK.
"TK, well, who won the tournament?" Kari asked. Kari looked around and noticed that Matt wasn't here. "Hey, where's your brother?"
"Matt," TK smiled, "Matt won the tournament."
Just as TK was in the middle of the sentence, Davis walked out and stopped. He looked even more disappointed in seeing Kari. But walked on anyway.
"Kari." Tai spoke. "Davis is pretty sad right now because he lost. Anything he does, he thinks he can win. But he doesn't understand that there are always people better and worse than yourself. Let this be a lesson to all of us." Kari looked down.
"Davis isn't the good person we thought he was, you don't have to worry about him, he'll be fine." Tai concluded. Kari nodded.
Everyone was back at the hotel saying their good-byes to their Digimon friends. Izzy is about to send them back to their world again. Palmon was reluctant to go back without seeing Mimi again. "I am not leaving until I see Mimi." Palmon shouted.
No one knew what to say until Princess Mimi walked in with Matt. "Well, I'm right here Palmon." Mimi spoke up.
"Mimi!" Palmon screamed in excitement.
"Matt," TK told him, "congratulations."
Palmon and Mimi were very happy to see each other again. "Hey everyone, I brought Mimi along to see you guys."
"Welcome Princess Mimi." Everyone said in unison and bowed.
Mimi stood up and seemed a little upset. "No need to call me that." She said.
"Please." Tai allowed the princess to sit down. Mimi accepted his seat.
"Hey TK", Matt said, "you know what? Remember our talk about how I ended up in a dark, cold room with another person?" TK nodded so Matt continued. "It was Mimi all along"
"Really?" TK asked in excitement. He was happy for his brother. "When you told me about that, I thought you were dreaming, I guess fate has brought all of us together."
"Mimi made a tournament that accepted everyone around the world." Tai said. "The point of the tournament was to find Matt. What an idea." Tai laughed.
"That's right." Izzy said, "Even I wouldn't of thought of that." Everyone laughed now.
"This happened because of fate. Fate is what brings everyone together. It brought TK and Kari together. It brought Matt and Mimi together. This is definitely heaven's work." Joe said.
TK looked at Kari, Kari looked back. They were both smiling at each other. So is Matt and Mimi. Tai looked down and then at Sora. She did the same. Both people's eyes caught on another. They didn't know what to say.
After the meeting with Princess Mimi and Matt, Tai stepped out to think about his own problems. He didn't believe what Joe had said back then. If what Joe said had been true, then he and Sora would have been together. Tai walked over to a fountain and looked at his reflection in the water. A tear dropped from Tai's eyes and made a ripple in the water fountain.
"Where did I go wrong?" Tai asked himself.
An answer came from Tai's left side. "You didn't." A girl replied.
Tai turned and saw Sora standing there. Both of them looked pretty sad. "I've been thinking about what Joe said this afternoon." Sora said.
"Same here" Tai replied.
"Do you think it's true?" Sora asked.
"No, but I'm outnumbered two to one."
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"It means that TK and Kari are in love. Matt and Mimi are in love. Both of their relationships would of never happened if fate has not been there to help. The problem is that fate isn't helping me Sora."
"Why do you need fate to help you Tai?"
"Because I love you." There was a pause. Tai turned around and looked at his reflection again. "But you don't love me back."
"That's not true." Sora said.
"Huh?" Tai turned around and looked confused.
"I do love you Tai." Sora explained. "It's just that I had problems of my own I had to solve."
"What problems? If you need help, just say the word and I'll do anything." Tai responded.
"No, it's nothing you can help with."
"Well what's the problem?" Tai seemed frustrated because Sora wasn't answering.
"Nothing." Sora said again.
"Well if you won't tell me, how can I help?" Tai yelled.
"You really want to know?!?!" Sora was getting angry too. "Fine, my mom died ok. Her flower business in Europe was going really well. When she died, she transferred her business to me. I didn't want you to come because you had your soccer team to worry about."
Tai didn't know what to say. "I'm sorry." Tai said. He hoped that it would calm her down. He didn't know it was this serious. He couldn't believe that he left for his good.
Sora sighed. "No I'm the one who should be saying sorry. I should of told you this earlier. I didn't know that you would care."
"Of course I care Sora. I love you, why wouldn't I care about you?" Tai said.
"I love you too." Sora replied.
The two ran into each other's arm and kissed. The night went slowly. Tai and Sora watched the stars at night again. Tai saw a shooting star go by. He remembered that one night, he saw one similar to the one now. At the first shooting star, he made a wish. He wanted Sora to love him back. The star he saw just pass looked exactly like the first. Tai smiled and chuckled.
"What's so funny?" Sora asked.
"I guess I do believe in fate." Tai told her. They smiled and admired the view of sky. They both thought they were in heaven, together.
I think I'm going to conclude this story here. There is more I can write but I don't think I should put it up. It gets ugly, as in violence and some people do die. But if enough people want me too, I will. So review.
