Keep Me in Your Heart
By: Emily Ishida
A pleasant breeze ran across a sea of flowers, making them
dance under a loving sunset, giving a strawberry image to the painted skies.
Small birds played with the wind, flying up and down and chirping sweet love songs
to nearby birds. Mimi Tachikawa, with a smile painted upon her face and a
wonderful sensation in her soul, danced across the field of wild flowers,
letting the gentle winds whisper secrets in her ear.
Watching Mimi play and dance under the setting sun, Yamato
Ishida gazed adoringly at his precious Mimi. He watched her flowing pink hair
dance along with her, those tiny gold stars entangled among the pink strands
glimmering like gold. Oh, Mimi, if only you knew how much you meant to me. I
know you know I love you, but I wish there were words to actually describe my
love. Matt thought sweetly, smiling as he gazed on.
Mimi was unaware of Matt's loving gaze, that is until she
saw a butterfly flutter his way. A soft dazzle grew inside her amber eyes, and
she ran as fast as she could into Matt's arms.
Matt held her close, stroking her hair and smelling the
sweet fragrance of a pleasant shampoo. His mind wandered into her eyes, lost in
her beauty, kindness, and purity. Oh, Mimi, this is now the time. I'm going
to say it…Matt thought nervously, though not showing any bit of it.
"Mimi?" Matt whispered soothingly.
"Yes, Matt?" Mimi responded.
"I think now's the best time of any to ask you this,"
"What is it? Whatever it is, I can take it."
"Mimi," Matt stopped to pull out a small black box. Mimi's
gaze focused on only Matt's beautiful eyes, so she wasn't aware of the box.
"Will you do me the honor…"
Matt's question was interrupted by a familiar, (that is, TOO
familiar,) voice from behind him.
"Hya Matt! What's up?" Taichi Kamiya asked cheerfully. Matt,
though, was about ready to burst in anger.
"Tai! You are such an idiot! You have no idea how much I
will hate you for this!" Matt screamed furiously.
Tai, standing dumbstruck and confused, was struck with an
angry fist into his jaw.
"Hey! What did you do that for?" Tai puzzled in fury.
"For ruining my life!" Matt raged, storming away with Mimi
close behind.
"Matt! Matt wait up!" Mimi called to him. She rushed to his
side and took his hand in hers, suddenly calming Matt, though he still held a
stone expression even Mimi was scared of. "Matt, tell me what you were going to
ask me."
"It's ruined now! That magical moment is gone! I can't ask
you with such stress!" Matt hissed. His fists were clenched tight with anger,
and his eyes were not the beautiful sea blue that Mimi adored, but were a cold,
ice blue that brought forth a new Matt. I've seen him with this expression,
but why am I so scared of it? I should be use to his outbursts by now, Mimi
wondered.
"Then let me help get rid of your stress, Matt…" Mimi leaned
in to catch him in a loving kiss, soft and magical like it always was.
"That helps, Mimi," Matt breathed, brushing her cheek with
his index finger. "You always bring such harmony to my heart."
Suddenly, before they were going to share another kiss, Izzy
and Yolei came strolling along, hand in hand. Izzy seemed very pleased with
himself, and had been smiling the whole trip down to the bottom of the hill
where Mimi and Matt were. Wonder what's with him, Matt smiled to
himself.
"What's up, Izzy? Win another science fair?" Matt teased.
"Nope! Yolei, would you care to give them the prodigious
news?" Izzy beamed with excitement. Yolei could barely contain herself as she
clutched Mimi's hands, tears poring down her face and a smile across her face.
"Mimi! Mimi I'm getting married!" Yolei burst with tears.
She squealed loudly and threw her arms around Mimi. Mimi shared the exact same
tears and squeals.
"To who? TELL ME!" Mimi cried with happiness.
"To Izzy! I'm going to be Miyako Izuma!" Yolei burst,
hugging Mimi tighter then kissing Izzy's cheek lightly, making him blush. Matt
was congratulating Izzy the "manly" way.
"Izzy! You lucky dog!" Matt laughed, trapping Izzy into a
headlock and messing up his hair happily.
"How'd it happen? Tell me EVERYTHING!" Mimi demanded with
joy.
Isn't that just like Mimi? Always wanting to know every
little juicy detail, Matt laughed to himself. Izzy calmed down to explained
the story.
"Yolei and I just got back from the park doing charity work
with Kari. When we were done, I took her for ice cream and we headed back to
the park to watch the lake. I popped the question after I spilled my ice cream
and she let me have a bite of hers! Kari was the first to know, unfortunate for
Mimi," Izzy giggled, watching Mimi burst with both happiness and anger.
"YOLEI?! You didn't tell ME first? That's not fare! Oh who
cares? One of my best friends is getting married to probably the smartest kid
on the planet!" Mimi hugged Izzy tight, kissing his cheek and congratulating
him like crazy.
The magical moment's
back, Matt sighed. I can ask her. Izzy and Yolei can be the
first to hear. "Mimi?"
"Yes, Matt?"
"I can ask you
now."
"Oh good! What is
it?" Mimi still had her arm around Yolei.
"Mimi, will you do
me the honor…"
Tai interrupted
Matt again. Tai had come to apologize, but he had come at the wrong time, cause
Matt shot a deadly glare in Tai's direction, and ran to it him to hit him until
Sora approached sweetly. I don't
want to hear another lecture, Matt
decided, and stopped himself from advancing on Tai.
"Mimi!" Sora
squealed. While Mimi was talking to Sora, Matt decided to explain to Tai about
his mistakes.
"Matt, what's with
you? I had GREAT news to tell you when you hit me!" Tai hissed.
"That's what you
deserved. I was about to ask Mimi." Matt hissed back.
"You mean…"
"YES!"
"Oh, man I'm so
sorry, Matt," Tai murmured, looking towards the ground and feeling guilt.
"Yeah, well, did
you hear? Izzy's marrying Yolei!" Matt changed the subject to hide his anger.
"WHAT? Izzy! That's
awesome!" Tai immediately headed to Izzy to congratulate him, AND to escape
Matt's evil glare.
When Mimi returned,
she rushed to Matt to tell him more good news. "Matt! Sora and Tai are getting
married too! And TK and Kari are SERIOUSLY dating!" Mimi was so thrilled that
she was about to faint. Matt held Mimi for a second and smiled, then walked
over to Sora to congratulate her.
"Hey, one of my
best friends is finally marrying the coolest tennis player in history!" Matt
laughed, putting his arm around Sora and kissing her cheek to show joy for her.
Sora could only smile she was so dazed.
"It was wonderful!
He asked me when we were watching 'Titanic' at his house!" Sora sighed, hugging
Matt.
"You know, about TK
and Kari," Matt began, approaching Tai with a softer tone. "If they get married
I'd have to be related to you!"
"Count me out,
Matt! Let's hope that doesn't happen!" Tai joked, punching Matt's arm
playfully.
"I'm just joking.
If TK got married, I'd say his wife had a cool brother!" Matt was surprised at
what he had just said, and chuckled lightly at his own remark.
"Same here!" Tai
beamed.
"Hey guys! Yolei
and I are throwing a party to celebrate! How bout you all come! It can be a
digidestined party, and the celebration of marriage between Earth's heroes!"
Izzy suggested.
"Very catchy,
Izzy!" Sora complimented. "I think that's a GREAT idea!"
"Yeah, lets all
go!" Mimi cried.
At the party, everyone
can be there for my announcement.
Matt thought happily.
The next night,
Izzy and Yolei were throwing a party at Mimi's house, because it was the
biggest. Sora came with Tai, dressed in a beautiful red dress that had
spaghetti straps and tight around her thin, muscular body from the effect of tennis.
Tai came in a stunning black tux. TK came in a hand-me-down light blue tux that
made him look extremely adorable to the older girls. Kari had a tight-bodied
white dress with a tie that went around her neck, exposing her silky shoulders
and back. She wore white gloves that reached her elbows. Matt came in a sexy
white tux, and Mimi in a dazzling pink dress, that went just below her knees
with no straps. She had a white rose in her hair from Matt. Joe, Davis. Cody
and Ken came alone in black tuxes.
"Let's party!" Tai
laughed, heading to the punch bowl to get Sora a drink.
Matt kept on trying
to find Mimi, but he kept on loosing her when she went into the crowd to talk
to Ken or something. This isn't
working, Matt huffed. But I have an idea!
When Matt found
Mimi again, he grabbed her and asked her to dance. Before they danced, Matt
went to Cody, who was the DJ at the time, and requested that he play a special
song for him and Mimi and that they all dance outside on the balcony.
"Sure thing, Matt!"
Cody winked. He then said into the microphone, "Everyone! For a really romantic
evening, everyone get a partner and meet me out on the balcony! I have a
special song dedicated to Mimi Tachikawa from Yamato Ishida!"
A bunch of howling
and "oohs" were heard. Mimi blushed with a smile and gazed at Matt, who set his
loving glance on Mimi. Holding out his hand, he whispered in a sexy voice, "May
I have this dance, beautiful girl that I've never seen before in my life?"
Mimi laughed at
Matt's joke, and placed her hand in his willingly. They stepped onto the
balcony with the others, then a song from Matt that he had made with his band
just a few days ago came on. It was a slow song, and Mimi was overjoyed. She
listened as Matt got everyone's attention. "Everyone!" Matt cried out. "This
song is dedicated to Mimi, and since I keep on trying to ask her something
important, I hope this will help me, since I keep on getting interrupted by
Taichi!" Matt shot a playful smile to Tai. Tai chuckled lightly. "This song is
called, 'Keep Me in Your Heart!'"
When you dance upon
that field of flowers,
A warming feeling runs
right through me,
I swear I could watch
you dance for hours,
And go on feeling this
love so free.
Let me hold you close
to me, baby,
You'll hold me to you,
just maybe,
But I want to hold you
for life and eternity too,
So Mimi, this I ask of
you…
Be just a little bit
more,
Make my yearning heart
soar,
I ask you what I've
tried to ask from the start,
Mimi keep me in your
heart!
When you sing to
yourself in the shower,
A precious harmony
races through my mind,
It makes me feel like
I have never ending power,
Just to see your heart
and mine combined.
Let me hold you close
to me, baby,
You'll hold me close
to you, just maybe,
But I want to hold you
for life and eternity too,
So Mimi, this I ask of
you…
Be just a little bit
more,
Make my yearning heart
soar,
I ask you what I've
tried to ask from the start,
Mimi keep me in your
heart!
Ooooooh, oooooh my
Mimi!
Mimi keep me in your
heart!
Be just a little bit
more,
Make my yearning heat
soar,
I ask you what I've
tried to ask from the start,
Mimi keep me in your
heart!
Mimi keep me in your
heart!
All of the
digidestined cheered like crazy. Throughout the whole song Matt and Mimi had
been dancing, and Matt was mouthing the words through the whole song. When they
stopped, Mimi, with tears of joy in her eyes, asked, "Matt? What was it you
were trying to ask me?"
"Hold on one
minute," Matt hushed her, placing his index finger to her lips. He rushed to
the DJ stand that Cody had quickly set up outside, and grabbed the microphone.
He hushed everyone, then said so that everyone could hear, "Everybody, I have
an announcement," Matt waited for the group to be silent. "I've waited days to
get this ready, and now, since I won't be interrupted by Tai," Matt glared at
Tai playfully, and Tai blushed. "I want to ask you this Mimi. Mimi…will you do
me the honor of marrying me?"
Mimi was
speechless. She cupped her hands and covered her mouth, while Sora and Yolei
ran to her screaming with happiness. Mimi rushed to him and threw her arms
around his neck, crying into his shoulder. She took the microphone, mascara
dripping down her face, saying, "Yes, Matt! Of course I'll marry you!"
A year later, Matt
and Mimi had their wedding. Another year after, Sora and Tai, Izzy and Yolei,
TK and Kari, Joe, Davis, Cody, Matt, Mimi and Ken were at the park, sharing
stories about their lives. The day was bright and warm. The warm sun shone down
among the lake, dancing among the ripples and making tiny diamonds scatter
across the surface.
Izzy and Yolei opened their own computer
company, called Izuma Incorporated, and Sora and Tai were pro athletes. Tai was
a famous soccer player and Sora a famous tennis player. TK and Kari were
engaged, and Joe was a professional doctor. Ken and Davis were on a college
soccer team, and were almost pros. Cody was still in Kendo with his
grandfather. Matt's band had become extremely famous, and Mimi was a highly
paid model. That day, Mimi had an announcement.
"Everyone! I have
something very exciting to say," Mimi shouted above the constant chatter. "It's
been two years, and Matt and I have started our own life…and especially…we're
going to have a baby!"
A bunch of "oh my
gosh!" was heard, and Kari ran to Mimi in tears.
"I'm so happy for
you, Mimi! AND Matt!" Kari sobbed.
Davis gave Matt a
high five, saying, "Man! You're the first of the digidestined to have kids with
another digidestined!"
"Proud of it,
dude!" Matt beamed. "Everyone! Guess what we're naming the baby if it's a boy?"
Izzy made a wild
guess. "Izzy Jr.?" Everyone laughed at this.
"Nope! We're naming
the baby Osamu if he's a boy!" Matt said with happiness. Ken stood there,
stunned and shocked. Ken's eyes filled with tears, and a smile spread across
his face.
"In honor of my
brother! I can't believe it, Matt!" Ken beamed, wiping a tear away, smiling.
"If it's a girl
we're naming her…" Mimi was interrupted by Sora's guess.
"Sora?" Sora
guessed. Everybody laughed again.
"No…Jun!" Mimi
beamed proudly, watching Davis's reaction as his eyes grew as big as baseballs.
"MY SISTER! COOL!
MY FAMILY MEMBER"S NAME IS USED FOR A MODEL"S KID!" Davis screamed, dancing
around stupidly.
After everyone
congratulated Mimi Ishida, (especially Davis,) everyone went home. Matt drove
Mimi off in his ice blue convertible, taking her to a cliff where they gazed
out among the majestic beauty of the mountains in the distance to the side, and
listening to the songs of the sea.
Mimi heard Matt's
voice, singing the song he dedicated to her. "Be just a little bit more…make my
yearning heart soar…I ask you what I've tried to ask from the start…Mimi keep
me in your heart!"
