Girl of my Dreams

Chapter 3

AN: Hi everybody! Here's the third chapter. Wow! I'm doing better than I thought. So now we're going to find out who this blue eyed girl that 'captured' our beloved Yamato's heart.

Again, this chapter is for those people who took the time to read the first two chapters. You guys know who you are. Thank you for reviewing my fic! I hope you guys continue to read this!

Disclaimer: Okay, lately I've been avoiding, or rather forgetting, to put the disclaimer. Digimon and its characters do not belong to me. I wish Yamato's mine though…

~*~*~*~*~

" M-att?" she croaked.

Then she continued to stare at me, wide-eyed and all. Did I mention how much I loathe being stared at?

I decided that it's probably a good idea to snap her out of her reverie. Besides, if I stare longer at her angelic face that reminds me so much of Mimi, I'll die for lack of oxygen.

" Are you alright?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow.

She finally blinked thank goodness. She shook her head a little.

" Matt!" she suddenly cried. She smiled up at me and threw her arms around my neck. " Oh! I knew it was you somehow! Oh my god! I can't believe it!"

'Huh? What is she talking about?' I thought.

" Huh? What are you talking about?" I said out loud.

She let go of me and the warmth I felt when she held me in her embrace, vanished. She looked up at me, still have that huge, happy smile on her face.

" It's me! Mimi? Mimi Tachikawa?"

I could feel my eyes widen in surprise and confusion. My jaw dropped. No way this girl is my Mimi! It- it's impossible!

But is it?

I don't know. The hair, the face, and even the height is so like her! But the eyes. My Mimi have the most beautiful brown eyes I've ever seen. This girl has blue! No, no way she's Mimi.

Besides, there must be hundreds, or even thousands, of girls whose name is Mimi in this planet. Even if her name is Mimi, how can I be sure she's my girl? I don't even know Mimi's last name!

I shook my head. The girl's smile suddenly vanished.

" Bahamas?" she offered desperately.

Still I shook my head in disbelief.

" Y-You don't remember." It wasn't a question. It was a statement. She tore her eyes from mine and could have sworn I saw tears quickly forming in her eyes.

" I'm sorry," she mumbled. " T-thank you for helping me. I'll see you."

And with that, she ran away. I didn't went after her. It's not that I don't want too. I couldn't, that's the problem. I was paralyzed. All I could do was gape at her vanishing figure.

" What was that all about Matt?" Sora and the others who witnessed the whole thing came up behind me.

I just shook my head. It seems that that's all I can do.

~*~*~*~*~*~

I was glad that my dad was still at work when I got home. I didn't want anybody seeing me burst into tears as I entered the house. I quickly went up to my room and threw myself on my bed, crying silently.

Why I cried, I had no idea. Maybe it has something to do with the whole thing that had just occurred. Or maybe, it's because of Mimi. My Mimi. I have tried really hard to bury the memory of her and of that night I met her, but it seems like I didn't do a good job of keeping it buried.

I didn't know how long I lay there, but when I felt like I have no more tears to cry, I decided to talk to my friends. Like I said, I'm still not comfortable talking to them about my personal affairs (AN: He mentioned this in LOVE ^_~), even though we've been friends since 10, but right now, they're the only ones I've got. I walked over to my computer and turned it on.

Ishida_83 has entered the chatroom. (AN: If any of you has a good screen name, just tell me)

Shy_princess: T.K. sometimes do that. real nasty. Sup Matt!

Soccermaniac01: shut up guys! Ishida still has a lot of explaining to do

i_love_hikari: yeah. What happened back there?

Ishida_83: the new girl's claiming she's Mimi! The girl I met when I was in the Bahamas. but it couldn't have been guys! My Mimi has brown eyes! She has blue! And besides, there must be tons of girls named Mimi

i_love_hikari: not really. I mean, you never know

lovely_gurl: whoa! Back up a little

Socermaniac01: wait, u met some hot chick and u didn't tell us

Ishida_83: tai!

lovely_gurl: I'm warning u kamiya

Shy_princess: who's mimi?

(AN: Notice they didn't catch matt saying 'my mimi'? K, I'll shut up)

Soccermaniac01: maybe it's better if u tell us everything from the beginning

Ishida_83: man, I knew you were going to say that. well, about two weeks after my arrival, I went down the beach one night to clear my head. you know, to think in peace

Soccermaniac01: and what exactly were u thinking

lovely_gurl: tai, this isn't the FBI

Ishida_83: so anyway, while I was walking down the beach, I saw this necklace, locket to be exact. I was on my way home when I saw a girl walking down the beach looking for something. So curiously I asked if she lost something and maybe I could help her

Shy_princess: what's she looking for

Ishida_83: her necklace.

Ishida_83: after looking for about an hour, we took a break and started talking

Soccermaniac01: what exactly did u guys talk about

i_love_hikari: tai, how's he ever gonna finish explaining if u keep interrupting

Ishida_83: taichi, please. Anyway, we talked about private stuff

Ishida_83: then she told me about her parents' accident and all that

lovely_gurl: oh

Shy_princess: that's sad. What happened

Should I tell them I cried like a baby in a stranger's arms and told her my secrets that I've never even told them? Should I tell them I fell in love that night for the very first time? That when she walked away from me that night, I never saw her again, and it's been tearing me apart ever since? No, I can't. Not yet at least. I don't think it's fair for them to know all this now, through the net. I have to tell them in person. When the right time comes, I will.

i_love_hikari: Matt

Soccermaniac01: u there?

Ishida_83: yeah.

Shy_princess: then what

Ishida_83: I kissed her

Of course I had skipped the part where I asked that question. I'll tell them about that later.

lovely_gurl: wow

Soccermaniac01: she slapped u?

lovely_gurl: tai!

Shy_princess: can't u be serious for once

Soccermaniac01: k, sorry

i_love_hikari: what does this girl looked like

Ishida_83: she look just like the new girl

Soccermaniac01: correction, babe

lovely_gurl: grrr…

Ishida_83: whatever. She looked like that girl except the eye color's different

Soccermaniac01: maybe she's an evil twin

i_love_hikari: possible

Shy_princess: T.K!

lovely_gurl: well, what happened

Ishida_83: what do u mean? That's it

Shy_princess: she meant about that whole scene this afternoon, right

lovely_gurl: yup

Ishida_83: well, I'm not exactly sure myself. I introduced my self to her and she just hugged me tight when she heard my name is matt.

i_love_hikari: that's weird

Soccermaniac01: did she tell u anything else

Ishida_83: said her name's mimi tachikawa

Shy_princess: and what's the other mimi's last name

Ishida_83: I have no clue

lovely_gurl: anything else she told u

Ishida_83: she mentioned bahamas

Soccermaniac01: maybe she really is the girl

i_love_hikari: yeah

Ishida_83: I told u guys. mimi, the one I met this summer vacation, has brown eyes

Soccermaniac01: maybe it was too dark for u to c that night

Ishida_83: I'm not blind. I know what I saw

Shy_princess: well, there's no way she could've known u were at the bahamas

lovely_gurl: yeah

Ishida_83: I don't know. gtg

Soccermaniac01: k, bye matt

Ishida_83: yeah, I'll be fine

lovely_gurl: c u at school matt

Shy_princess: bye

Ishida_83: c u guys tomorrow

And with that, I turned off my computer and sighed. I walked over to my queen size bed and thought this through. Maybe she is the girl. My Mimi. But what about the eyes? I know she have brown eyes. I just know it!

I sighed in frustration. I just can't figure it out! All I could see in my mind is her face, but her eyes are brown. The way she had smiled at me. The touch of her soft skin on my neck when she hugged me. The same feeling I felt when I cried in Mimi's arms that night. I touched my lips at the memory of our kiss. That was so special, I don't think I'll ever forget that. I don't think I'll ever forget her.

And without even realizing it, I fell into a peaceful and rather restless sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning I woke up a half an hour early before my alarm even went off. I took a quick shower and prepared myself some toast and scrambled eggs for breakfast. I had fallen asleep yesterday without eating dinner. Thankfully, we didn't have any homework the first day.

Around 6:59 I finished breakfast and was on my way to school when I saw my dad coming downstairs.

" Good morning. I'll see ya later dad," I greeted him. I was on my way out the door when he called after me.

" Uh, Matt?"

" Yeah?"

" Your mother and I have been communicating with each other for quite some time now," he informed me hesitantly.

You can guess how shock I was to hear this. And all this time I thought they still hate each other's guts.

" Wh-what?" I stuttered. " Wh-why didn't you tell me?"

I can't believe he's telling me this now!

" Look, we can talk about this later," he answered. Somehow, I think he regretted revealing this to me.

" No, I want to know what she said to you. Dad, I've not talk to her for like what? Four years?"

" I don't want you to be late for school, especially since it's your fist day."

" Second," I corrected.

" Right. And I don't want you to get your hopes up either," my dad explained.

" Dad? What are you talking about?" I asked, confused.

He sighed. " They're thinking of moving back here in Odaiba."

Now I know for sure that my eyes were as big as Ping-Pong balls and my jaw hung way down the floor. I couldn't believe it! After four years I'm actually going to see them again! My brother and my mom.

I couldn't contain my excitement. " A-are you serious dad?! They're really planning on moving back?!"

" I said they're thinking about it."

" But there's a big chance that they will, right?"

He nodded. Yes! My family will be complete once again! Well, my parents might not get back together, but at least we'll be living in the same city once again.

" Better get going Yamato," my dad reminded me.

I looked at my watch. 7:15!

" Oh no! I gotta go dad!" I shouted, as I flew out the door and towards Bay View High.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

" Hey Yamato! You feeling fine this morning?" Sora asked as the four of them met me at my locker.

I smiled at them. " I'm feeling great!" I cried, still trying to catch my breath. I ran from the house all the way at school, which is about 9 blocks from where I live.

" You sound cheerful," observed T.K.

" Yeah. Too cheerful," Tai added.

" You guys will not believe what my dad told me this morning. My mom and Michael are thinking of moving back here!" I cheered. I was just way too happy to keep my cool. Oh well. I'm happy and that's all that matters!

" I'm so happy for you Matt!" Kari and the others smiled genuinely at me. They seem to understand how important it is to me to have my mom and my younger brother back.

" Thanks guys!"

" Aww, that's what friends are for Matt," Tai told me.

" Look guys, we gotta get going if we don't want to be late," Takeru announced. We all agreed and started on our way to first period. While T.K. and I were climbing the stairs, I caught a glimpse of familiar mahogany hair and sad azure eyes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

All afternoon I couldn't concentrate on anything. All I keep thinking about is that girl named Mimi. During second period, I've come to the conclusion that this girl really is my Mimi. It has to be! I still haven't figure out the whole deal with her eyes, but who cares? Now all I have to do is talk to her.

During lunch, I found her sitting alone in a table way in the back of the cafeteria. I tried to approach her, but when she saw me coming her way, she took her tray up and practically ran out the lunchroom. I couldn't believe it. She's avoiding me! Great. I've hoped and waited for three months, which seems like forever, and now that I've finally found her, she tries to stay away as far from me as possible . I know it was all my fault. I didn't believe her when she told me we've met. But can you blame me? I've got my heart broken a thousand times before and I don't want to go through that again. This time when I fall in love, I want to make sure it's to the right person.

" So, what'd she say Matt?" Tai queried as I returned to our table.

I sighed and answered in a low tone, " She's avoiding me."

Takeru patted me gently on the back. " Don't worry Matt. I'm sure she just need time," he assured.

" Thanks."
~*~*~*~*~*~

The day ended without me seeing my Mimi again. I was busy stuffing my backpack with all the necessary things I need for tonight's homework. As always, my friends were waiting for me: Sora and Kari talking about how "hot" Mr. Mamoru Chiba is, and T.K. trying to soothed a fuming Tai.

We were on our way out the building when, once again, a certain brown haired girl caught my attention. It's her. She was by her locker, almost ready to leave. I felt my heart stopped and as always, and I couldn't breathe. Now, seeing her back is bad enough. Imagine how I must've felt when I met her face to face yesterday.

Takeru must have seen my face fell because he said, " Go get her Matt. This is your chance, don't let it slip through your fingers."

I turned around to face my friends. Okay, so they all noticed my change of emotion. Tai winked at me and gave me a thumbs up, while Kari and Sora smiled. I nodded. T.K. is right. This is my chance to win her back.

I walked, well, ran actually, after her.

" Umm… Mimi!" I shouted. " Mimi! Mimi, wait!"

She whirled around and when she saw me waving my hand in the air like a idiot, she started to walk faster. She doesn't want to talk to me. That didn't effect my confidence though.

' Oh no Mimi. You walked away from me once, and I'm not about to let you get away again,' I thought.

Thankfully, I caught up with her. I gripped her elbow and once again, I felt the electricity, and I whirled her around to face me. I looked into her angelic face and felt my lips curved into a smile. A relieved smile.

" Let me go Matt," she pleaded.

" No!" I replied. " I refuse to let you go Mimi."

Then I did something unexpected, or wasn't part of the plan. I kissed her. That's right. I, Yamato Ishida, actually kissed a girl in the middle of the hallway of Bay View High. Well, not just some girl. My dream girl. My Mimi Tachikawa.

I never realized that all the students of Bay View were watching, considering that my eyes were closed, but I'm willing to bet they were shocked, including my friends who stood behind me, forgotten. I did not care. I didn't care if they were staring at us, I didn't care if girls were giving me those evil looks, and didn't care if my Mimi has brown eyes or blue.

All I cared about was her. I finally found her. And I'm not about to let her walk away from me again.

However, with all that's happening, I never notice the evil look on Jun Motomiya's eyes as she stared at Mimi hatefully.

THE END!

Or is it?

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

AN: The last sentence in the second to last paragraph, I was going to put " And wasn't about to let her go". But I realized that I read that line somewhere before, I believe a Sailor Moon fic. Just thought you might like to know ^_~

Well, do you think I should stop the story here? There were some questions that I haven't answered yet, like why does Mimi have blue eyes. Well, that one I think you guys can figure out now. But what about Matt's mom and brother? What about Jun?

Tell me what you guys think, okay?

BYE AND GOD BLESS!
