EPILOGUE: Some of Us Never Learn
[One Month Later...]
Mimi was getting tired. She knew cheerleaders were supposed to be bright and perky, but it was hard being that way after having jumped around and done tricks for the past hour and a half.
As Tai sped past her, kicking the ball, he winked at her. Mimi smiled, imagining how Sora must be swooning somewhere in the stands while watching him play.
Matt ran closely behind Tai. He slowed down a little as he passed her, and blew her a kiss, while mouthing the words, "I love you."
Mimi blushed. It was still hard for her to believe that Matt, cool, suave Matt, actually loved her.
The other cheerleaders sighed and looked at her enviously.
Mimi, cheeks pink, screamed, "You go, Yamato!"
Matt smiled to himself. He *loved* it when Mimi called him Yamato. She knew it, too.
He took a second to admire her beautiful face before getting back into the game.
Abruptly Tai kicked the ball over to him.
Matt knew everyone was counting on him.
Swinging his leg forward, he kicked the ball towards the net...
The ball flew...
...and flew...
...and flew...
...right past the goalie's fingertips.
"Yeah!" Tai yelled loudly. "We won!"
Matt grinned. Leave it to Tai to uplift team spirit. But that wasn't important. He broke away from the gang of soccer players congratulating him, and began walking towards his girlfriend, standing in her cheerleader's outfit, smiling at him.
Suddenly, he sprinted towards her, grabbing her hand.
"Matt!" Mimi said, laughing, as he pulled her onto the field.
"Mimi," he said softly, holding both her hands in his.
Mimi blushed. Lightly, she asked, "What have you got to say for yourself? You scored the winning goal, and Odaiba won the Soccer Championship."
Matt shook his head. "None of that's important," he told her smilingly. "What's important is that *you* were there."
Mimi smiled. "But..."
Matt pulled her close and kissed her. Nothing could ruin the moment. Odaiba had won, he was kissing Mimi...
"Hey Odaiba Fans!" came a loud voice.
Matt pulled away from Mimi slightly, but tightened his arms around her.
Mimi looked up to see Tai being carried by the other team members, bullhorn in his hand.
"What..." began Matt.
"Soccer isn't the only thing you're seeing today," Tai said matter-of-factly into the bullhorn. "Sure, we won, but the real winner is right here. Our very own heartthrob Yamato Ishida is kissing his girlfriend, the beautiful, *and* hot cheerleader Mimi Tachikawa right in the middle of the soccer field!"
Mimi felt embarrassed for a moment, but soon smiled. Who could stay mad at Tai for long?
"Oh my gawd," Sora exclaimed, rushing onto the field. "I am *so* sorry, Mimi, Matt! How embarrassing, I don't know *where* Tai got that idea..."
Matt smiled evilly. "Don't worry, I know how to get him back."
Holding out his arms, he asked, "Would you two lovely ladies allow me to escort you to the ice cream parlor, where I will treat you both to ice creams?"
Sora winked, taking his arm. "Of course, Mr. Ishida!"
Mimi suddenly felt shy. "I'd be delighted," she said softly.
Matt looked at her, love radiating from him for a moment, before squeezing her hand and walking away with her.
Behind him, Tai yelled into the bullhorn, "Where do you think you're going with my girlfriend, Ishida?!"
THE END
A/N: So, did you enjoy? It was awful, I know, but it's old and I have to get rid of it somehow!
Sorry, I couldn't resist with Taichi. He's cute (but after Yamato definitely... maybe after Takeru too, I don't know!) What did you think of the Alaskan bit and at the end with the bullhorn? And how Matt was being evil to him?
Ah, well this was written, I repeat, WAY WAY WAY before Season 02, before I even knew that it existed, so REVIEW and tell me what you think.
