Vegetable Soup for the Digi-romantic's Soul # 11: Michi
Alone Except for the Moon
By Carter Quetzi Tachikawa
(Time for a Michi! Whoa, I'm almost done! I don't own Digimon as always nor did I create "Chicken Soup". Here is what I think will happen after this story, the Daiyako, and the Koukari:
1) My Enemy/ The One I See- Kenlei poem.
2) Dance With You- Another Kenlei poem
3) Sandcastles- A Patamon/ Gatomon fluffy romance story.
4) A Rose For Biyomon- Agumon/ Biyomon fluffy story
5) The Powers and Problems of Love- Daiora (I've been requested to do one!)
6) Obsession- Yolato (I've been requested to do this too)
7) Goodnight, TK- Miyakeru (Yes, another request)
As always, it is likeable to change. A couple of fics I'll have up as separate stories. "Lacerations", which is a Gatomon/Myotismon fic and request, shall be put up separately. I may have a poem to go with that in here. Well, 'nuff talking. Let me begin the Michi.)
Mimi Tachikawa lay on her back and stared at the dark sky. There wasn't a single star piercing it. She could here everyone else screaming behind her. The gang was having a party at a local club but Mimi decided she wanted to be alone for a minute. Oh, she enjoyed it all right...she just wanted some time to herself before she went in again.
"Mimi? Are you out here?" Taichi Kamiya's voice interrupted her thoughts. Mimi sat up in the chair she was lying on and saw him.
"Yes, I'm here. What's wrong, Tai?" she asked.
"Nothing's wrong. I...I was just wondering where you were, that's all."
"Well, I'm here. You don't need to worry." Mimi lay back down on the chair. Tai sat in the one next to hers.
"So what are you doing out here by yourself?"
"Just staring at the moon."
"Oh. There are no stars out tonight."
"No. We're alone except for the moon."
"Hey, Mimi?"
"Hmmm?"
"Do you remember last week when it was Izzy's birthday?"
"Oh, yeah! I remember when Davis was playing around with that balloon and let it go. It fell into the cake!"
"Remember when no one noticed it?"
"Oh yeah! That was hilarious when Davis was trying to look for it and couldn't find it! Then Izzy tried to cut it! Oh boy! Hey, remember Karaoke night?! Remember when Joe got up on stage and forgot what song he was singing?"
"Oh yeah. He asked to sing Meatloaf's "I'll Do Anything For Love" and they played Green Day's "Time of Your Life". Poor Joe! I felt so bad for him!"
"Then I helped him out. We got through that horrible night."
"It wasn't that bad. Just the food", Tai chuckled. Remember when we went to Paris and Davis ordered the escargots! He had not escargot meant 'snails' in French! You can't believe how shocked he was!"
"Tai, why are we doing this?" Mimi asked suddenly.
"Doing what?"
"You walked in and we started talking about the past. Not that the past is bad. I remember one time at the prom when my date bought me a corsage that clashed with my gown. THAT was bad!"
"Things could have been worse. Like the time I got stuck in the elevator when the power went out."
"But the point is why did we start talking about the past so suddenly?"
"Maybe it has something to do with the moon. It's as you said earlier. There are no stars. No nothing. Nothing except for the moon."
"I know the moon makes people do crazy things but...talk about the past?"
"I don't know why."
"Do you remember the first time we went to Digiworld?"
"It was long ago and it was far away...but I remember it all."
"Remember the first night we sat alone and saw the moon there?"
"Yeah..."
FLASHBACK (Many years ago)...
"Mimi?" Tai found the girl clad in pink staring up at the sky. It was their third night in Digiworld. Though they were homesick, they had gotten used to the weirdness of the place. Their Digimon became their best friends. Mimi had been complaining for a while and now Tai saw her.
"Yes, Tai?" Mimi turned around.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing. I was looking at the moon. Did you notice there were no stars tonight?"
"That's not too unusual."
"To me, it is. I'm thinking about home."
"So am I." Tai sat down next to her.
"What do you miss about home?"
"Everything. My family. My friends. I even miss school."
"Home is different. I mean, I enjoy your company and being with the Digimon. At home, I'm a princess! Or at least I feel like one. I got anything I wanted. I had all the friends I wanted. I had everything. And now..." Mimi broke off.
"Now what?"
"Now I'm alone", she looked up at the dark sky where full moon shone down on them. "Alone except for the moon."
"Not alone. I'm here."
"You don't know how I feel, Tai!"
"I can guess..."
"Really? Then tell me."
"Well...you miss home. You've been around people all your life. You just want things to be the way they're supposed to be."
"That's not all."
"Hey, Mimi?" Tai decided to change the subject. "Do you think that a full moon makes you do weird things?"
"Like what?"
"Some people say it's the perfect time to fall in love."
"I heard that too...I don't know if it's true."
"What do you miss the most about home?" Tai went back to the subject.
"The days at the beach of course. Drinking soda...you know. I miss the mall. I miss my mom and dad. I miss..."
"Mimi", Tai began. "I..." He stopped.
"What?"
"Nothing. I...I wanted to ask about the moon again."
"I'm not a scientist, Tai. Ask Izzy. He'd probably know better than me."
"It's not that. But I'll ask my question some other time. Mimi, have you ever had a crush? Have you ever fallen in love? "
"Tai, I'm only ten! But a crush...yes. Yes, I've had one."
"Who was he?"
"It was my only crush. I was in first grade...and he was my partner for a lot of things. We played together and had fun. Sometimes, he'd stay at my house until night. The longest time he stayed was 'til nine. We were sitting outside and looking at the moon...like this. It was a full moon. I told him I liked him. He said he liked me. Of course, we didn't kiss or anything! We were only seven! But we were friends...maybe he wasn't a crush then. I'm sorry, I'm wrong! He was my friend until third grade. Third grade, I had a crush on him. I thought I knew what love was at first sight."
"What happened to him?"
"Well...we were assigned to do a project together. I had met him the night before our presentation. We had everything ready and we spent the whole time working on it. There was no moon that night, I remember really well. I went to school the next day...and found out it was canceled", Mimi choked back all her sobs. Tai finally took notice that she was crying.
"What's wrong? Why was school closed?"
"My friend...the guy I had a crush on...was walking home last night after we finished...the project. He...he...he crossed the road...and..." Mimi burst out crying. "And he was hit by car! He died instantly!"
"I'm...I'm sorry", Tai felt insecure then. He put his arm around Mimi's shoulder.
"That's why I hate moonless nights. It reminds me..."
"Are you in love now?"
"No. How about you?"
Tai was about to answer but decided to stay silent. He just held Mimi tighter.
PRESENT...
"He he he", Tai chuckled. "We're back to the same position."
"Only in the real world", Mimi agreed.
"You miss him?"
"Always."
"Mimi, I still have that question."
"Oh yeah...what is it?"
"Do you...love me?"
Mimi sat up again. "That's not a question about the moon!"
"Do you love me?" Tai became persistent.
"I..."
"Well, if you won't tell me, I'll tell you. I love you! I loved you ever since that night! Ever since you said you were alone..."
"Tai..."
"Alone except for the moon. You said that back then and now. I liked that..."
"Well...if you want an honest answer Tai, yes."
"Yes?"
"I love you too. I always have. Thank you for being there that night."
"Well...you're welcome. Thank you for sharing that bit about your crush with me."
"You remind me of him..."
"Look", Tai pointed to the sky as the clouds, which had covered the moon, lifted. Now it shone even brighter on them. He leaned over and kissed Mimi on the cheek. "We're alone again."
Mimi returned the kiss. "Yes...and for once, I don't mind."
I'm sorry if my Michi is bad. I tried but it may not have come out the way I wanted it. Please r & r. Next up, Daiyako! Carter
