Dedication: To my new friend Bandit. Thanks for all your encouragement while writing this fic!!! I hope you like this part!!!


Matt's POV:

I sighed. Mimi was nowhere to be found! I was looking all over for her… I wanted to apologize so much… I felt so bad… I needed her to be here, next to me, there for me. But, I guess I deserved what I got… it was my fault that she ran away. I shouldn't have started that argument in the first place! Mimi's words rang in my head. 'I HATE YOU MATT!' It… it just hurt. There was no way I could ever hate her… but I yelled back at her. 'I HATE YOU TOO MIMI! I… I don't know how I ever liked you' It was wrong of me to say that. I shouldn't have provoked her, said all those mean things about her… but hey, she said mean things about me too, and they were all true. I do have a problem with being in despair and stuff… And I said that I liked her too… I mean… I don't really *like* her… but I do like her as a friend… well at least I think I like her as a friend… maybe more… Okay, I have to admit, I guess I do have some sort of a crush on her. I mean, she beautiful, and sweet when she wants to be. She's so sincere… although I have to agree with some people when they say she's spoiled. But hey, I can work around that! But now what's the use of all this? She hates me…
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
"Huh? Mimi?" I spoke aloud, and as if answering me the scream came again.
"HELP ME!!!! SOMEBODY!!! MATT!!! PALMON!!!" My eyes widened… it was definitely Mimi screaming… I took off in the direction of the scream, running as fast as I possibly could. I approached a clearing to see Mimi sprawled out on the ground. She had a large bruise on her head and she had a deep cut near the top of her right leg. Her left ankle looked really big and puffy, in other words it was sprained. That's obviously why she wasn't running. For some reason just seeing Mimi like that made me want to kill whoever was responsible. I don't know why I felt that way, it's just that seeing Mimi hurt and scared *really* upset me.
"Mimi!" I yelled, running into the clearing and approaching the fallen girl. She looked up at me with a tear stained face. I looked around wildly, expecting to see some sort of evil digimon out to get us, but in reality there was nothing there. So, I knelt down to where she was sitting and gently wiped the tears from her face.
"What happened Mimi?"
"Huh?"
"Mimi! What happened? Why did you scream? I was out looking for you when I heard you… you got me worried sick!" Mimi's eyes narrowed.
"And why would you be worried about me? You hate me, remember?" I sighed.
"Mimi… you know I didn't mean that…"
"Do I?"
"At least you should. I could never hate you Meems; there is no way. Especially now, that we're the only two humans in this world."
"You mean it?"
"Yup."
"Really?"
"I said yes! Can we drop it already?"
"Sure Matt, I know you're not good at apologizing. And for the record, I'm sorry too." I smiled with relief at the sweet girl sitting down next to me.
"Mimi?"
"What Matt?"
"What happened to you?" I looked at Mimi as I said this, and her eyes held a quick hint of fear, before turning to confusion.
"Uh…well… what are you talking about?" I glared at Mimi.
"You know what I'm talking about Mimi. You screamed. Why?
"Well…uh… I ran into a Sukamon… yeah… a Sukamon… and he scared me, that's all." I didn't believe her for a second.
"Are you sure Mimi? Cause you sounded *really* scared…"
"I'm sure Matt…"
"Positive?" Mimi growled angrily.
"I said yes! Can you just leave me alone now?!" My eyes widened in surprise. The last time Mimi was mad like that… besides the fight that we had before… was when she was yelling at Izzy… She never yelled at *me* before… She noticed my surprise.
"I'm sorry Matt… My ankle just uh… really hurts. Can we go back to camp now?"
"…sure Mimi…" I put Mimi's arm around my shoulder and lifted her up. Then, we wobbled back to camp. As we did, no words were exchanged between us. I guess Mimi was thinking about something really important, cause she didn't even ask to stop for a rest. Something about her… it's just different. Something happened in that clearing that she wasn't telling me. Something obviously big… something that changed Mimi… She seemed… odd. Like, she seemed more… cold, and harsh. I couldn't understand. Something attacked her in that clearing. Did the thing do something to her? Something bad? This is what I thought of as we approached camp. When we got there Palmon and Gabumon was very glad to see us, especially since they heard Mimi scream. Again we were bombarded with questions, things like, 'What happened' and 'Are you guys friends again?' All were answered and things seemed normal again. Well, as normal as things can be in the digital world. After all of this happened Agumon and all the other digimon, besides Gabumon and Palmon went their separate ways. I guess for some reason they didn't want to be around Mimi and I. Maybe it was because we reminded them of Tai and the others… but well… it's not our fault if they get reminded of their human friends, is it? Meanwhile, our two digimon had gone off near the river, to give Mimi and I some privacy to talk. I sat down beside Mimi and put my arm around her shoulder, stroking her hair. She looked surprised for a second, but hey, she didn't make me move my arm. I stared off into the horizon and started to talk.
"I was thinking Mimi… If we could somehow get to Genaii's house, maybe he could give us some information, ya know? Like maybe he can tell us how to get home, or if we can't, he can give us some clothes, and some food and stuff. What do ya say?" Mimi said nothing.
"Meems?" Again she said nothing and I looked down at her to notice her crying.
"Mimi? What's wrong Meems?" Mimi sniffled, and buried her head in my chest, using my shirt was some kind of tissue. I gave her a hug, and started stroking her hair and whispering words of comfort.
"Oh Matt… we're never gonna get back home… never!"
"Sure we will Mimi…" I said… trying my hardest to make her stop crying. I didn't know what to do when girls started to cry! Especially girls that I might have a crush on!
"You didn't have the crest of hope Matt so don't even start…" It stung to be reminded of TK. And I mean stung to the degree where I actually felt a pain in my heart.
"Yeah… I know I'm not TK… but I did have the crest of friendship Mimi and I'm trying to be a friend to you. We are gonna get home. We're gonna see Tai and the others again and our parents too, we'll see them all."
"No Matt, you're wrong. You heard Genaii, he said the gate would never open again, NEVER! We're gonna be stuck here! Stuck in the place with no malls, no good food, no nothing!"
"No you're wrong Mimi. There is something that we have here!"
"What, danger?"
"No, we have love and friendship." Mimi looked up at me and smiled.
"That's so sweet Matt… You were always so sweet…"
"Thanks Meems…."
"Matt?"
"Hmm?"
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what?" Mimi took off her right glove to reveal some strange sort of bracelet. It was dark as night with strange symbols. The weirdest thing though, was that it was emanating a red glowing light. Suddenly I was falling back, slipping from the log we were sitting on. As my head hit the rocks, the last thing I remember was Mimi saying,
"Sorry for this Matt." Then, the world went black.
