Tai's POV:
I will never forget what happened. Mimi had disappeared, so Matt had gone after her with Garurumon. Genaii had told us to get on the train, so we could leave as soon as they got back. Suddenly, the train started to move, and they weren't back yet! Izzy tried his hardest to stop it, but it just wouldn't. Just as we were about to leave the digiworld Matt and Mimi came back into the clearing, and I had to watch Matt and Mimi disappear from view, maybe forever. I couldn't help but shed a few tears as I put my arm around the crying TK. I felt so bad for him, because I know that if Kari got left in the digiworld, I would go crazy, and TK is also a lot younger from me. I held TK close to me as I looked out the window. The trip back to the real world took a lot longer then the trip going, for the gate was repairing it self, as well as closing. It hurt to see it close, cause it's like the gate was closing on all our memories, all the good times, and Matt and Mimi. TK started to bawl even harder and I gave him a hug. "Don't worry TK… It'll be okay… we'll get them back…shhhh." I whispered to him, rubbing his back. But to tell you the truth, I really wasn't so sure. You never know what could happen to them while we're trying to get them back. I mean, there could be another evil digimon and they could be…killed… before we could get there! It's just a horrible thing! Finally, after an hour of consoling and crying and tears, we made it back home. I was very nervous as the train started to open, for all our families were of course there, including Mimi and Matt's parents. I looked out the window only to be heartbroken, as Mimi's mother started cheering, and crying tears of joy. I hated to do this, because pretty soon they would be tears of sorrow. Sora left the train first, and was given a massive hug from her mother. Next were Izzy and Joe, each getting a hug from their parents, and Joe's brother gave him a hug as well. They seemed happy to see their family. Next was Kari. She was crying as she gave my mom a hug. But I guess the figured that it was because she missed Gatomon. Now it was only TK and I left. "Come on TK! You're gonna go see your mommy…and your daddy… I'm sure you want to…" Yeah, I know I don't normally talk like that, I mean, sheesh, I sound like Sora! But… this was a rare occasion…
"Tai…I…I can't go myself," TK said, sniffling, "Can…can you come with me? Can you Tai? Since Matt isn't here anymore…can you be my new brother?" I didn't know how to respond to this… I…I didn't want to. Because if I said yes, then Matt would really be gone, and it would be like ripping apart his picture and burying it in the dirt, then setting fire to it. Even though we didn't act like it, Matt was…erm…is my best friend, besides Agumon.
"TK…I'll come out of the train with you…but…I can't replace Matt, you know that. Even if Matt isn't here right now, he's still your brother, and I know you love him very much, maybe even more then he loves you! Do you understand TK?" TK nodded.
"I know Tai…I miss Matt…a lot… I…" TK started to cry. I looked out the window and saw that my parents were getting impatient, and everyone was still looking at the train. So, I picked up TK and proceeded to walk out of the train. It was like a superhero carrying the one he saved to his family, that's what I felt like. But…it had a really sad factor. I felt like, I should be Matt…like he should be carrying TK… A tear trickled down my cheek. As soon as Matt's mother saw me carrying TK instead of Matt, I knew she could tell something was wrong, and when I looked Matt and TK's mother in the eye and shook my head solemnly, she fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face.
"Matt…" Meanwhile, his father's cigarette fell out of his mouth, and a single tear trickled down his face. I had never seen the man cry before… it was strange. I put TK down, and he ran straight to his mother, giving her a hug while the two cried their eyes out. I was trying my hardest not to cry as well. I looked to Mimi's parents, of whom still had hopeful looks in their eyes, yet sorrow for Matt's parents. All of a sudden their hopes were dashed as the train closed its doors and zoomed away, much like it had when we left Matt and Mimi. Mimi's mother's eyes widened, and she fell onto her husband, her shirt already soaked with tears.
"Mimi…Mimi-chan…My poor Mimi…" she mumbled, while her husband stoked her hair, he was obviously upset as well. I looked to my mother, and she smiled at me through tears, her smile saying 'Don't worry…everything will be fine…' but no, nothing will ever be fine. Nothing's gonna be fine until Matt and Mimi are back here with us. Nothing will be fine until I can fight with Matt again, or until I can yell at Mimi for always slowing us down. Nothing…will ever be okay again. I turned away from her and looked at Mimi's mother again. She seemed to be taking this the worst. She was sitting on the floor mumbling Mimi's name. Nothing could shake her out of the funk… not even her husband. I walked over to her and sat down in front of her, so we were facing each other. I spoke.
"I…I'm sorry… I was the leader…I failed you and your husband… and failed Ms. Takaishi… and Mr. Ishida… and worst of all… I failed Matt…and Mimi. Please…please forgive me." Ms. Tachikawa looked up at me, and for a second I could've sworn she was Mimi…
"No…no…it's not your fault…it's nobody's fault honey…it was an accident… an accident…" I couldn't help but start to cry again…I was trying to be strong…but I couldn't. Here she was, Mimi's mother, the mother of an 'missing in action' digidestined, and she wasn't blaming me. I did the only thing I could do, I gave her a hug. The six of us digidestined, and our parents sat where we were until dark, honoring the memory of out two lost friends…
Matt's POV:
We watched as our friends floated away. "That…did not just happen…" I whispered… but I know it did. Mimi and I were… we were… stranded, stuck in the digiworld.
"Matt…did that really just happen? Are we really stuck, all alone?" Mimi whispered to me. Funny, she must've been thinking the exact same thing I was… To answer Mimi, I nodded regretfully in response… "Can we…open the gate again?" she asked. I shook my head. Tears were threatening to escape my eyes. Mimi slowly fell to the ground, whispering things that… well let's just say I'm not gonna repeat what she said. Soon, she started to cry. Seeing Mimi cry made me want to cry, but I knew I had to be strong. I had to be strong for Mimi, for TK back home, and for myself… Definitely for myself… Palmon approached Mimi and started to console her, but Mimi pushed her away. This…this…really made me mad. I don't know why it got me mad… but it did. Palmon was upset so she ran away and Mimi would've done the same thing, so where does she get off being so mad?
"Mimi…talk to me…" Palmon whispered. She was starting to cry. That… that just disgusted me.
"Where do you get off treating Palmon like that?!" Mimi looked up.
"Huh?"
"I said, what do you think gives you the right to treat Palmon like that?! She's only trying to be nice, although I don't know why!"
"I have the right to be mad at whoever I want Matt and what exactly did that last statement mean?!"
"What do you think?! It means that Palmon shouldn't be nice to you because you're treating her like dirt! You think that everything is coming to you and that everyone should bow down to your every whim, but that is pure BS! It's all your fault that we're stuck here in the first place! If you hadn't have run off then we would never be in this situation!" I just went off on Mimi… and her eyes filled with tears. That…it surprised me, but Mimi spoke.
"You…you jerk! Where do you get off speaking to me like that?! You were the one that decided to run after me so it's your fault that you're stuck here! And you shouldn't be talking about having people 'bow down to your every whim' Mr. Attitude! If you don't get what you want you mope around and act all depressed. You don't care about anyone but yourself!"
"You are such a self obsessed snob! You think you're perfect when you're so ditzy it's hard to have a conversation with you without getting mad! You're such a wimp! 'Oh… Matt! Help me! I broke a nail! Boo hoo hoo! Help me Matt! I wanna go home! Boo hoo hoo!' Well let me get out the worlds smallest violin!" Tears were running down Mimi's face now, as Palmon, Gabumon and the other digimon watched our fight in horror. I immediately felt horrible after saying all those things… Mimi can't help how she is… I should know that, cause I can't help how I am either. But… I guess I've wanted to say a lot of these things for a while… everyone has… Cause you gotta admit, Mimi is kinda wimpy… I was broken out of my thoughts when Mimi said four little words that almost made my world came crashing down.
"I HATE YOU MATT!" I froze. That…it hurt. I just reacted, didn't know what I was saying…
"I HATE YOU TOO MIMI! I… I don't know how I ever liked you!" And with that, Mimi got up from her spot on the ground and just ran away.
Palmon looked at me, as if saying, 'I can't believe I caused all of that…' I stood there, watching Mimi run away and I just fell to the ground. Tears starting spilling from my eyes as well, as much as I hate to admit it. Gabumon came over to me, and said one simple thing.
"Go after her Matt… I know you care, she cares as well. You guys just need to work around the shock of being stuck here. Go, go ahead."
"Gabumon… I don't understand why I said all those things… it's just… I miss TK… and the others too, and now she's hurt… and it's all my fault… Gabumon… we're the only humans here… and now… we can't get along…I…just…"
"Just go after her Matt! You know you want to! Go make things right…"
"Just go already Matt!" Gomamon said. I didn't even realize the other digimon were still there…
"Go ahead Matt," Agumon said, "She's counting on you!" I sniffled, and smiled at the digimon as I got up, and proceeded to run in the direction Mimi ran off to.
Mimi's POV
I was running away… running from Matt… from Palmon… and from myself. Cause I realized, everything that Matt said was right. I am a ditz, and I am impossible. But… it hurt when he said he hated me. We're the only two humans left… and now we're not even speaking. What's gonna happen? Life…life just sucks. I was still running when I tripped. I slammed the dirt with my fist, the dirt quickly turning to mud as I started to cry. Everything was messed up in my life. I was stuck in some strange world, and now my only human friend hates me. I felt a hand on my shoulder, yet pushed it away. It was a human hand, so it had to be Matt.
"Go away Matt. Leave me alone."
"Matt? Who's Matt?" I looked up, only to see someone I've never seen before. He was about TK and Kari's age, maybe a year older. He had a bluish hair color, similar to Joe's, and the kindest violet eyes I've ever seen in my life.
"Huh?" The stranger smiled.
"Hi! Need a hand?" He offered his hand and I accepted, as he pulled me up from my position in the dirt.
"Who…who are you?" When I asked him that, something changed. Well, the something was his hair and clothing, but something else changed as well. He looked… well… meaner.
"I am the Digimon Emperor, and you are trespassing on my garden!"
"Huh?"
"Come with me weakling." The 'Digimon Emperor' attacked me. Trust me, he's a lot stronger then he looked. I jumped up immediately.
"What… who are you? How did you get here? How… how can we get home?"
"Trust me, you are never going to get home…" My eyes widened. This little kid was threathening me! He took out a whip. 'Oh no…' I thought, as he began to warm it up.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
End of Part 3! Um… ok… that sucked. I'm upset now… cause it sucked… I wanted to make this story really good… with an original story… but… it kinda sucks. So anyways, review please! Also, I know Ken probably wasn't into the Emperor stuff at nine, but hey, ya never know… So email me at CrystalYumi@aol.com with any comments and I'll get back to you!
