***THE PARENT TRAP: DIGITAL VERSION***
~CHAPTER 9: PLANNING MISSION IMPOSSIBLE~
Taichi and Sora were obviously avoiding each other, much to the displeasure of the twins. They were going to have to do something about it.
But first on their list of priorities at the moment was getting rid of Jun.
Misaki and Miyame sat in a tree, spying on Yamato's fiance, extreme resentment etched into both faces, so they looked identical.
Jun was holding tightly to Yamato's arm, and had such a look of fake sweetness on her face that Miyame couldn't help but remark, "She gives me cavities."
Misaki said nothing, but thought of several nasty things that she could do to get rid of the smirk on the older woman's lips.
"Misaki! Miyame!"
Both girls started, turned, and looked down.
Their mother waved at them from below, and both unconsciously thought of how beautiful she looked in her pink dress.
"Girls, Sora and Taichi have packed us a picnic. Do you want to go?"
"Who's 'us'?" Miyame asked suspiciously.
Mimi looked taken aback. "Well, of course you girls are going, and me… We'll have to drag Taichi and Sora along, but that's not a big problem… Your Uncle TK and Aunt Hikari are coming… And I mentioned Miyako and Iori… it seems that Miyako is married now, to my old friend Ken, so he'll be coming too… oh, and Joe and Izzy!"
"Joe and Izzy?" Misaki repeated dumbly. "Wasn't Joe in Africa and Izzy in California?"
"They've come home for a visit," Mimi said happily. "Isn't that wonderful?"
"What about Father?" Miyame asked.
"Well, he's spending some time with Jun, so we'll just leave them alone…"
As Misaki glowered, Miyame's face lit up.
"I remember now!" she exclaimed. "Mother mentioned Jun when she and Taichi were talking about Aunt Hikari! Something about doomed love…"
Mimi shook her head. "Dear, you weren't supposed to hear that…"
"Please Mom, what were you talking about?" Misaki asked.
Mimi sighed. "Well, I guess you have to know sooner or later. We were talking about a man who had been in love with your Aunt for a long time… not as long as Uncle Takeru had, but he came close… well, anyway, he was heartbroken when the two got married… poor guy, it *was* a doomed love…"
"What does this have to do with Jun?" Miyame asked.
"Oh girls, he was Jun's younger brother, Daisuke."
At those words the girls stared at each other, shocked.
Mimi shook her head before saying, "Come on, girls, the car's waiting."
The two girls scrambled down, and were soon standing by their mother.
"How are you doing with your matchmaking?" Mimi asked as they walked towards the house.
Misaki sighed unhappily. "We do have a plan, but we haven't been able to put it in action, because they avoid each other so much."
Mimi smiled. "I'm sure you'll find a way. It can't be that hard."
They arrived at the car to find Taichi standing uncomfortably at the driver's side, and Sora on the other.
Mimi leaned down and whispered, "I take it back. It's going to take a lot of work."
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
Miyame and Misaki listened with rapt attention as the adults exchanged memories.
"Oh Miyako," Mimi said, "too bad I missed your wedding. It must have been wonderful!"
Miyako opened her mouth to say something, but before she could utter a word Iori interrupted, "Nobody went to their wedding. They eloped."
Mimi's eyes widened, looking from Miyako to Ken and back again. They were blushing furiously, and the others were trying to hide their laughter.
Hikari shook her head, smiling, before she told Mimi, "Been there, done that, Mimi. Believe me, TK and I felt the same way."
TK suddenly grew serious. "Anybody heard from Daisuke?"
They all shook their heads. Ken was about to say something when some yelling interrupted.
"Hey guys!"
They all jumped up and hugged the tall man with blue hair and the shorter man with auburn hair that greeted them.
"Oh Joe, Izzy," Mimi said, sniffling. "It's been so long!"
Misaki and Miyame looked at each other.
Joe's eyes fell on them. "Are these your daughters, Mimi?"
Mimi nodded.
Izzy smiled at them both. "Princesses, just like their mother…"
They blushed.
Sora asked, "What brings you to Japan?"
As Joe and Izzy began a detailed description, Misaki and Miyame winked at each other. It was time to put their plan into action.
