Disclaimer: Last chapter, I don't own Digimon.
Author's Note: *sobs* This is the last chapter! I loved writing this fic. It's like a little soap opera, just not too much of the soap.. and the opera. Oh, well. Did you get a kick from the last one? I'm filling in the gaps, but you'll see. A little stroll and the two shed some unshed tears.
10272002 - Sorry about the cliffhanger. The end of the last chapter was supposed to be the beginning of this one, so I took it out of this chapter to make the last one shorter. I'm surprised that I'm finding the time to finish this all!
---------------------------------------------
Chapter 15
"Ohh. But --" Mimi stammered. "You can't do that!"
'We thought you'd love it to come back.'
"No, not today, why does it have to be today?!" she cried backing up to the door. "You don't know how important --"
"Room service." a voice called after knocking on the door behind her.
"You're not kidding..." she quivered as she dropped the cell phone. She quickly opened the door and ran past the guys standing there. The guys shrugged and entered the dorm as they carried bags of luggage.
Mimi had run quickly through the halls, unaware of Michael passing through the halls nearly knocking him down. She stopped in front of the elevators and looked down as she left her hand on the down button. When the doors of the empty elevator shaft opened, she stepped in and stood there looking at here reflection in the walls. "What can I say to Yamato? I just wanted to get close to him again and I'm being torn away from him."
'I'm not avoiding you. I've been busy lately and have barely had the time to keep you company, let alone keep everything else in my social and personal life in order. This is the hardest time of year for me. You, personally, should know why. Three years, Christmas Day.'
She gasped and blinked a couple of tear drops out of her eyes. "'Three years Christmas Day.'" The elevator had opened and she walked past a crowd of people checking out to go home. She paid no attention to the remarks that were targeting her. She took a run to the near-empty campus and walked to the Academy Building walking through the dark, empty halls. "I -- I can't leave this. It's only been a month, but Odaiba, I should be here. But... I can't go against my parent's decision. Yamato, gomen nasai."
23:30 - Mimi had been in the Academy Building for three hours, thinking about all of the things that had happened the past month and trying to remember what had happened three years ago. She snapped out of it and walked out to the courtyard of the school, taking a seat at the edge of the water fountain in the middle. Some ivy had grown over the fountain and she sat there taking a dead flower into her hand.
"I have to go.. tonight, I suppose. Hopefully, none of them will figure out that I have gone." she smiled. "Talk about de ja vu all over again. I feel as if this has happened before, I just can't put my finger on it."
She dropped the flower into the still water of the fountain and sat watching the gray clouds that could be seen in the sky.
23:42 - Matt had finished practicing with his band and was going back to the dorm to pick up Mimi for the dance. He was holding a corsage with pink and white flowers in his trembling hands. 'I hope I don't look dorky in this suit. Is my hair nice? Did I put enough gel? I hope she doesn't hate this corsage. Geez, am I sweating?'
A group of guys were rolling down five or six of bags of luggage across the hall. Matt let out a short laugh, 'Someone must be leaving really late for Christmas.' He continued on walking and came up to his dorm. Putting the key through the key hole, he noticed that the door was already unlocked. "Nani?"
The room was dark and cold when he had entered. Turning on the lights, he noticed that something was awry when he looked at the room in full view. The half of the room that Mimi had occupied was empty, not a single thing that she had was there. The sheets of her bed where clean and white, not like the pink one the she had replaced it with.
He felt a pit growing in his stomach as his spirit began to sink. Opening the door even more, he noticed that he had hit something behind it.
It was Mimi's pink cell phone and a phone number was still on the screen of it. There was also a voicemail and feeling a little bit curious about what was going on, he took the cellphone with him and walked to the balcony of the dorm room getting to her voicemail.
'You have one new message: Mimi, I don't know why you hung up on us, but you have to go to the Odaiba Airport. You'll have a ticket waiting for you and your luggage will already by loaded. Please don't get mad at us, this is the only flight we could get to have you home by Christmas. Your flight leaves at midnight, we'll pick you up at 8pm.'
"She's leaving again. I knew this was too good to be true. Mimi-chan leaves again. It's a recurring nightmare." he frowned, putting the cell phone in his pocket. He stared angrily out into the horizon, his gaze falling upon a figure seated at the fountain in the courtyard. She sat alone looking up at the sky. He blinked in disbelief, 'Mimi?'
Making haste, he quickly went to see if he was right. The elevator was now packed with students getting ready to go to the dance. When the elevator stopped on to bottom floor, he pushed his way through the crowd and ran towards where he had seen Mimi. He stopped at the water fountain and saw that no one was there. "I must be seeing things. That couldn't have been Mimi. She's probably already left."
He took a seat on the edge of the water fountain and held the corsage in his hands, looking down at it. "Mimi-chan.."
A pair of amber eyes were peeking around the statue on the fountain. She stood up and walked towards him, her pink dress flowing freely with the cold wind. "Yamato-kun?"
He looked up and saw her caring face. A sad smile was the only expression that was seen and her face was pale from being in the cold for a long time. "Mimi-chan, I thought you had left."
"I'm still not sure. I wanted so much to stay here, Yamato, but I have to go. My parents want me to." she confessed.
"What do you want to do?" he asked her.
"Stay here."
"It should be your choice, Mimi-chan." he replied. He handed her the corsage that he had had. "I got this for you for Christmas. It was just like the one that I was going to give you three years ago."
"But I left that day." she replied. Taking the corsage she put it on her right wrist and gave a warm smile. "I want to stay.. with you, Yamato. I just wish I could change everything so that we could be together."
"Me too." he whispered giving her a hug. A fleck of white fell onto his head. The two looked up and noticed that white flecks were falling from the sky.
The two smiled and noticed that it was finally snowing. Mimi whispered. "I wish that this would last forever. Us being together, Yamato. But.."
He looked at her in confusion. "You're going, aren't you?"
She nodded sadly. "Yamato-kun, we'll meet again. I know we will. I just can't leave my parents like this. I hope you understand."
"I do." he replied. She returned his hug and walked quickly to the school gates. Looking back, she saw him watching her take her leave. He retreated to the school when she was no longer visible in the light mist.
"I'll come back, Yamato." she whispered with a tear running down her cheek.
