Disclaimer: Digimon, do you think I own it?
Author's Note: I'm going to have the fic finished by November, Thanksgiving the latest because I am starting on a new fic about Mimato again with Mimi transferring schools to Odaiba but instead will have more social problems than her DigiDestined/personal problems. I hope the 12th chapter didn't kill the whole story that much.
I promise that this fic will be done either the next chapter or chapter 15. I really want to get this over with, but I don't want to make this into a fic that 'has a good story, but a crappy ending'.
Arigatou for the reviews!
10242002 - If you're wondering how in Chapter 11 it was December 1st and now it's like December 22 or something (do they celebrate Christmas on December 25th in Japan?). There was a long time passage between Chapter 11 and 12 just to clear that up! The weather changes might be stranger than normal, but it's a fic, so it won't be much of a problem. Also, to fit the 15-chapter plan I have, the chapters will be short, so I'll post them quicker.
---------------------------------------------
Chapter 13
Mimi had been zoning out looking as if she was staring out the window. The weather had dropped a couple extra temperatures, but no signs of any white flecks of white falling from the sky. She had been in a reverie about what would happen during the Winter Ball in three days that she had a magazine on winter dresses open in front of her (she had forgotten to pick out a dress).
The silent closure of the door caught her attention and saw that Matt had entered the room, his faint figure reflecting palely off of the window. She let out an inaudible sigh and greeted him in a quiet voice loud enough for him to catch, "Yamato.. About that thing in the Union. Are you okay with that?"
There was no reply for a while. Matt felt a growing tension in the room and gave in to her question. He took a seat on his bed and quickly buried his hands in the pocket of his pants. "No, I'm okay with it. You aren't having any thoughts about Yolei and them pushing us into the two of us going to the dance together, are you?"
'He's lying about my question.' Mimi thought cocking an eyebrow. She placed her elbows on the magazine and rested her chin in her hands. "No, I don't have any thoughts, but this is a little awkward. I mean, you and me going to the dance. Yolei pretty much forced us into it, will reputations be destroyed if we don't go? I don't want you to feel like you were forced into this."
Matt had drawn his guitar out of its case and was strumming it softly. "You don't have to worry. It's not apocalyptic or anything. To tell you the truth, I have never gone to the Winter Ball, or any dance, for that matter. I only go if my band was asked to perform, but we only did that once."
"Hm, I understand. How come you've agreed to go with me?" she asked him as she stared at his reflection from the window.
"That, I still haven't any answer to." he replied with a warm grin. Standing up, he placed his guitar in its brown case. He walked towards the door and stood watching her. "I'll see you later, Mimi-chan."
He left the room and closed the door after seeing her smile back. Looking, down, she spotted some palely colored pink dresses on the page her magazine was left open in. The dress was a Randolph Duke silver tulle halter dress with sterling silver necklace. She looked up and noticed Yamato walking across the campus by himself and she smiled warmly. Grabbing her green jacket, she stormed out of her room taking her credit card with her.
---------------------------------------------
"Woah, where's Mimi?" Yolei asked Sora and Kari. Her eyes were fixed on her watch and it had changed to 22:48.
"Yolei, the longer you look at your watch, the slower everything will go. I'm sure Mimi's okay. If she's shopping, then she'll never get out of that Christmas-shopping mob any time soon." Sora replied.
The three of them had been waiting for Mimi for almost an hour and they had become a little impatient waiting for her. They had eaten an after-dinner snack while they were in the Union and the place was beginning to shut down.
"Yolei, maybe she's sitting in her room talking with Matt or sleeping already. She probably needs to catch up on her beauty rest for the dance. Since school's been out, we've seen less of her, so maybe she decided to go somewhere else?" Kari assumed, her eyes getting a little droopy.
Sora took a sip of water from her cup, "No, Mimi would never do that.."
Through the entrance of the Student Union, a girl had walked into the half-lit room and ran to their table. The three girls sitting down were looking at the worn out Mimi and were looking at her questionably.
"Mimi, where've you been?" Yolei asked her.
She raised up the single shopping bag in her hand and took a seat next to Yolei, putting the bag on the floor next to her. "I'm sorry. The place was mobbed, most of the people from school."
"You're cutting down on your spending. I never expected this day would come." Sora giggled.
"Why'd it take you long?" Kari asked her.
"Oh, my gosh, every line was packed. I had no other choice but to go to the Express Lines. Can you believe that they only allow you to have ten items in that line? I nearly had to drop everything the I had except for the major ones. It was a nightmare." she paused catching her breath. "Even that line had a dozen or more people."
The three nodded in agreement. Kari gave a smile, "That's why we usually buy before Christmas so we don't have to worry about all of the crazy things that go on. It really does get packed this time of year."
"Hmm, I'll have keep that in mind for the future." Mimi replied.
"Mimi-chan, you're really special for Matt to want to take you to the dance. He's never gone to any of the dances with any girl before." Sora explained. "This is his last two years and then he'll be going on tour with his band around the world. He must find something really different in you. He's never gone with anyone before."
"I know, he told me about it before he went out to practice." Mimi stated. "He didn't seem like it was much of a great deal, but I had expected that he had been asked by a lot of girls to go to the dance with him."
"You won't believe how many, but that's completely true." Kari replied. "Even the most popular girls had asked him and even begged, but he turned them all down. He doesn't ask any girls or goes out with anyone, which is a little strange, but he must have his reasons."
"Yeah," Mimi agreed. "Yamato's got a lot of secrets. When he'll tell them is a mystery, as well."

A/N: ^-^* Yay! Chapter 13 turned out to be one of the best! ;D
