So, Joe's turn. Why? Well even though he's not in the episode I reconed that he'd be the one most affected by Mimi's return. LONG LIVE MIMOU!! *Ahem* So this is a section from Joe's diary a day or so after Mimi's back.
Let's Party like it's 2002
Well she's gone. Back to the "Land of the free and the home of the brave". And she's miserable there. Not the type of miserable that she was back in the Digiworld, but something deeper. Something I'm not sure even she realises.
It was the little things as she walked around Matt's place. The riceballs, the posters in Matt's room… She was even crying over one of the comics that T.K.left there by acident. All the little reminders of home were too much for her.
Of course, I'm not so sure that the others noticed. I can forgive Davis, Cody and Yolei, after all they've only just met her. But the others…
Sora was just so happy that Mimi was back that I doubt she noticed now she fixated over every little thing. As for Tai and Matt, they were too busy stareing at her legs and trying to look up her skirt. You'd think with all the fuku's at their school they'd be used to that and their raging hormones would've run out. But no… they're still 'growing' so that sort of thing is aceptable. Plus she was leading them on. After all the beer they drank I'd be surprised if they hadn't seen several Mimi's each. And poor Izzy spent all the time after he had picked his jaw off the floor trying to avoid both Yolei and Mimi's advances. He just seems to have that effect on Mimi. She must have thought that with a 'new' haircut he had loosened up a bit. I think he has, but not that far. And me… me…
I'm still in love with her.
The way her hair bobs as she walks, the way she sways her hips. Even the way she pouts when she's upset. They all make my heart melt. Especially when she pouts. Even a look from her can turn my knees to jelly. She's a breath of fresh air in my stale life.
And she's in America to stay. At least for now.
I supose I should give you the full low down of the party. After all what's the point of a diary other than to put this stuff in?
So… It all started when Kari told Tai that Mimi was back. Of course our fearless leader decided to throw a welcome back party. But not at his place. At Matt's. I guess Matt's dad was out somewhere.
So Matt and Tai raid all the vending machines for beer and hide it back at Matt's place. Course I only found out about that after the younger kids left. Then all the old gang arrived and decorated the place for a party. Ribbons, balloons, banners… It all looked really festive.
Then she arrived.
And the party took off.
Once Izzy and I got over the shock of that outfit that is. She was really dressed to kill. I noticed Yolei couldn't take her eyes off Mimi either. That girl is weird. So we party. I asked Mimi to dance but she asked Izzy. I wish I understood why she refuses to go out with me.
She lit up the dance floor with her dancing. It was like the world was happening in slow motion. Then Tai caught me stareing. Still got a thing for Mimi? he asked me. Course not, I replied. Neither of us believed it. After all I spent three months alone with her in the digiworld and Tai is still trying to get all the details out of me. I think he thinks that me and Mimi did stuff while we were away from the group. Like I would ever do something like that then brag about it. Not that I did that anyway you understand, but it's the principle of the thing.
Once the new kids left and just us older Digidestined were left we all seemed to relax more. I guess we're all still looking over our shoulders at those kids, as if they are replacing us. Mimi in particular seemed happy that Yolei had left. I think Yolei had made her a little edgey by hanging off her elbow all night. Maybe I'll ask Kari if she knows anything about it.
I tried asking Mimi to dance again, but Tai got there first. I think he did it on purpose. And the moves he was pulling made him look like he was drunk and not really knowing what he was doing.
Of course he was drunk. He and Matt had been raiding their beer surplies all evening. Matt actually brought out the remainder while Tai was dancing and passed it around. I think everyone was surprised by Mimi drinking one in one go. She just shrugged it off as an American thing.
I think that was the point that T.K. and Kari left. Good thing too with what followed.
Truth and Dare.
With most of us drunk, or at least, slightly tipsy.
It was a disaster. Tai took the last dare before we stopped. Matt made him go out onto the balcony and moon most of the block.
After the police gave us a warning we switched to spin the bottle.
Mimi kissed everyone except me. Even Sora at one point I think. I'd drunk so much by that point that its rather hazy. I think someone must have spiked my drink because I'm sure I didn't drink that much.
Did you know that when he's really embarassed, Izzy's face turns the same colour as his hair? Neither did I until Mimi desided to play a verion of spin the bottle where you had to take off a piece of clothing instead of kiss. And Mimi, ever one to make Izzy squirm took her shirt off first, unlike the rest of us who had started with shoes and socks. I'm sure she sat oposite him on purpose.
I'm not sure what happened next, but at some point I woke up with Matt's dad looming over me. He wasn't pleased. Aparently Matt hadn't asked permission first before throwing the party.
Mr Ishida threw us all out and rang most of our parents. Of course mine didn't care as long as it didn't affect my schoolwork so…
And then she left and my heart went with her, all the way back to America.
Doesn't she know how much I love her? Now much it hurts when she throws herself at Izzy, who'd rather be in a relationship with his laptop than her?
She doesn't see me there.
She never did.
