Filling the Space

Author's Notes: Hey people! As you know it, this is the first time I ever registered here and this is the first story I'm trying out. I know the summary said (Mimato) but Mimato will not come until later chapters, I don't know when, but hopefully soon. Anyway, please enjoy my story and please R & R. I don't care if it's flamer's. I can heat hotdogs for dinner. ^_^ Oh, one more thing…I don't own Digimon or it's characters, they belong to their own owners. Well yeah…I'll stop talking and let you read.
Chapter 1
The Starting
The silent air blew a crisp of early warm morning. All plants from trees to grass danced in waves and rhythms against the gently wind. Shadows and light fought on, finding who is the victor. But it goes in as a routine, shadows wins at night as the hot sun falls, while light becomes the victor at the break of dawn. Small birds broke the silent, singing a lullaby as they started their routine bring home food. Large leaves sailed and danced, performing what was it's last dance until it hit the clement. Joggers took to the sidewalk, trying to burn the extra fat, which they claimed 'don't know how it got there' line that lingered into they heads. The fast food boxes in they trash was a different matter. To them at least. The neighbors walked out, enjoying the fresh cut crisp air while they grabbed their morning paper.
With all the fresh air, dancing of grass and leaves, and great early morning sun, a young girl about the age of seventeen did not care for any of it. She wore blue flare jeans and a long tan light coat with a small black blouse under it. Her brown chestnut hair flew through the warm, but yet cold wind, making her hair fly like dancing ribbons in the air. She took long strips towards Odaiba High School, where she was late for the graduate of her friends.
Entering the school, she made her way through the halls, passing class doors to the soccer field. The walls were freshly painted. The doors were fixed and painted brown, which Mimi thought was an ugly color for the red and green walls. Mimi passed a few students in gowns. None she recognized. She reached the end of the hall. The morning sun blazed warmly into Mimi's face as she moved to the soccer field. People were cheering as the principal represented each student. He was beginning with the 'I's'. Passing and squeezing her way through the crowd, Mimi reached the bleachers. She looked upon it. People were taking all the room that was possible for the cheap stairs. Climbing to the bleachers, Mimi sat herself on a vacant seat, which she thanked the heavens for letting her have the middle seat. The principal was still calling names with the never-ending cheers. Paying a nearby peanut boy for a bag of popcorn, Mimi heard.
"Yamato Ishida."
Mimi snapped her head back, moving her hazel brown eyes to the stage. Her eyes focused on the familiar blond blue eyed boy walking up to the stage, excepting his diploma. Friends cheered, as Mimi brought out her honk blower, closed her eyes, and squeezed.
HONK!!!!!
She did the same for the following,
"Koushiro Izumi."
HONK!!!!!
"Taichi Kamiya."
HONK!!!!!
"Sora Takenouchi."
HONK!!!!!
And a few of her other friends she knew.
HONK!!!!!
"Oww…my ears hurt." Mimi exclaimed to no one in particular, rubbing her ringing ears. While the 'W's', 'X's', 'Y's', and 'Z's' last names were being called, Mimi looked around the cheering crowd looking for Joe, Kari, TK, or the newest digidestineds. But she didn't find any of them. There was a sea of people. Some young and old, tall and short, big and small. Mimi didn't no where to start looking for her friends. The air was warm and getting hotter by the minute. Fanning herself, Mimi listened and waited for the graduation to end.
~o~
"That's weird. People rarely use those horn blowers." Kari looked to the area where the honks came from. She couldn't find the source.
"It honked for Matt, Tai, Sora, Izzy, and a couple other students." Yolie tried to look sum up of who might be the horn blower.
"Well, whoever has it must be crazy. Don't they know that those things could damage people's ears?" Joe pointed out as he kept watching the graduation. Ken and Cody nodded in agreement.
Davis looked to his right and left to his friends wondering what they were talking as he munched on popcorn. Shrugging, Davis watched the seniors graduating.
~o~
The Graduation was over and the crowds were breaking into little families, hugging and kissing their young graduated young adults. Mimi walked to her nears friends, she had her hands behind her. Sora was hugging her mother. Sora had grown taller then her mother. Her flaming orange hair was grown pass her shoulders. She still had that hair clip, Tai had bought her a few years ago. When Sora spotted the brown headed girl walking up to the hugging mother and daughter. Sora looked bewildered then she opened her mouth into a gasp. Her mother released her as Mimi walked up to Sora.
"Hey, Sora."
"Mimi?…Mimi!" Sora jumped and hugged Mimi.
"Hi to you too." Mimi laughed softly.
"Wha…How…When do you arrived? And why didn't you call me about this?" Sora questioned a bit mad. She had her hands on her hips.
"Huh?" Mimi tried to find an excuse.
"Sora, I'll be waiting in the car, sweetie." With that, Sora's mother left.
Sora nodded to her mother, but still kept her eyes on her best friend. Mimi didn't know an excuse. She could lie, but she was always bad at lying. Mimi opened her mouth. A large mop of brown hair interrupted them as it headed to Sora's face. When it moved away, Sora's face was flushed red. The mop turned to reveal Tai. A large grin was on his face. Tai was rid of the goggles and his young youth. Now standing before her was a grown young handsome adult. His chocolate eyes were the same as Mimi used to know when they were younger. His face wasn't the cute little face, but now a handsome dark tan, clear face. Mimi noted his body muscular from soccer has grown as well from under his gown. Mimi was surprised.
"Hi, Tai." Mimi smiled.
"Huh?" Tai faced her, Mimi's smile grew wider.
"Ooooh…what do we have here? Tai and Sora? Sora and Tai?" Mimi giggled with excitement as her two victims' faces were red as cherry.
"Mimi?"
Mimi turned, as she moved her long bang from her face and smiled as Matt hugged and whirled her around. Then he placed her back on earth. Matt was also grown from his cute figure into a handsome figure. Mimi noticed he had changed his hair again. First his was spiky, then he combed it back down, which turned out really nice to Mimi. And now his spiky hair was back. His bright blue eyes seemed a little more happiness in it, than his all the time cold and serious eyes. Which didn't really bother Mimi.
"Hey, Matt."
~o~
By that time, all the digidestineds were reunited. What seemed like an hour, all the digidestineds were asking tons of questions about her, and America. Mimi answered all their questions as much as she could. They were sitting on the bleachers. Their families left to go home. Kari, T.K., and the new digidestineds look the same. Joe looked the same, except he cut his hair and had gel to keep his spikes from standing upwards. Mimi really liked his new cut style. Izzy left his dark red hair the same. He also has grown a lot too. Tai, Matt, Sora, and Izzy were still wearing their gowns. It was midday, the sun hanged warmly as the wind picked up. The group decided to head out to Mimi's place to help her unpack her stuff. As they were leaving.
"Yamato!"
The group looked out to the school to find a girl running towards them. The mystery girl had brown hair with blonde high lights running down her hair. Her dark green eyes were like mirrors, reflecting where ever she went. She looked nice with her thin yellow dress. The dress had pink and purple flowers designed on it with spaghetti straps.
"Oh, it's Liana." Davis rolled his eyes.
Kari and Sora giggled.
"Hey hey Matt, do I look fat?" Tai tried his best to mimic Liana, then started laughing.
"Shut up, Tai!" Matt lifted his arm to strike, but Joe held it back. Mimi eyed Sora and the red headed nodded. They still keep fighting. If they're both alive, there was no peace. Mimi smiled, as Sora shook her head signing.
Matt gave Tai a final rage glare, then turned happily to the girl.
"Hey Liana!" Matt hugged the girl.
"We'lloutofschool!Finally,IthoughtIwasgoingtodie!" Liana yelped happily.
The group sweatdropped.
"I swear, that's not english." Yolie muttered. Cody nodded.
"Or any other language." Ken sweatdropped. Once again, Cody nodded.
"Liana's…a bit hyper." TK explained to Mimi, who nodded her understanding.
"A bit? She's a natural Britney Spears." Tai laughed out loud.
"She's a cheerleading." Sora defended Liana, who kept yelping with Matt who was not showing any interest.
Mimi turned to her friends, "I wasn't that bad, was I?" Referring to her younger years in school, as a cheerleading.
Silence
Mimi gasped, "I was?"
Izzy spoke up, "Well…"
Then Matt turned to his friends.
"She's a natural." Matt smiled to Liana, "I think. Liana…Liana? This is a friend of mine, Mimi. Mimi, Liana."
The two girls exchanged hands. "Matt never mentioned you to me on the phone." Mimi said.
"He hasn't?" Liana looked at Matt, who looked away with his hand behind his head. "Well…it much have been boring not talking about me." Mimi looked at the girl like as if she insane, then Mimi moved it away, smiling and like that the two girls became instant friends. Liana hooked her arm around Mimi's and they walked away and chatted.
~o~
"Mimi, where does this go?"
"Hmm…in the living room."
"Mimi, what's this?"
"Beats me…put it anywhere."
"Hey Mimi, look at me…I'm a clown."
It was afternoon and Tai, Sora, Matt, and Yolie were helping Mimi getting unpacking before her parents' plane arrived the next day. Orange and Red melted along the walls of the house. Windows were opened, letting all afternoon wind enter. Tai and Sora were removing stuff from box that what belonged in the bathrooms. Yolie was unpacking boxes which belonged to the living room. Mimi, in the kitchen. Matt was just immerging from the stairs when Tai said his line. The others laughed as Tai held two red shower sponges to both sides of his face. Sora laughed, kissing Tai on the nose. Matt shook his head smiling. He bent to lift a heavy box. He gripped it, then lifted. He tipped a little when a pair of hands balanced the box within his arms. Matt turned his head and found Mimi staring at him. They both smiled shyly.
"This goes in my parents' room, Matt." Mimi let go. Matt nodded and headed upstairs.
~o~
The night air blew gently against the houses. Whispers of wind song in the narrow open creaks of the windows, which were left ajar. Mimi laid her back against her soft bed. She hugged her pillow, trying to sleep. It was 10:30pm and the whole house was finished. It was quiet and lonely, so Mimi stood up and threw her pillow back on her bed and reached for her connected, wireless phone and dialed. It rang five times when someone picked up.
"Hello?" A male voice asked.
"Hey you."
"Oh, hi Mimi. What's up?"
"Not much…why are you still up?"
"Well, it's my turn to wash the dishes. What brings you to call?"
"I just wanted to talk."
"Oh well, Matt's here. So I'll pass you to him."
"No, wait!"
"Huh?" T.K. waited for Mimi's answer.
"Why would I want to talk to him? I called to talk to you."
"Really…Kari's not going to like this, you know that?"
"Well, she doesn't have to know about us." Mimi smiled evilly.
"Alright." T.K. returned the smile.
Mimi and T.K. started to laugh out. Mimi rolled on her bed, trying to control her laughter. She always did like T.K. best. He was like a little brother she never had.
"So, how you and Kari doing?" Mimi asked finally.
"Oh, you know, going here and there. Spending time with each other as much as we can without Davis there, trying to ruin the moment."
"That's good. Well, not the Davis part. He needs to get a girlfriend. Anyway, I knew something was going to happen between you two. Destined to be together. Hope and Light."
"Yeah…Hmm, what about you? You with someone?" T.K sat on an incline chair and laid back.
"Unfortunately, no. I'm still looking for the right guy."
"What about Chris? Your American friend."
"Chris?"
"Yeah."
"He's gay."
"Oh, sorry…I thought you and him…you always talked about him."
"That's because me and him have so much in common."
"Oh…Mimi."
"What?"
"Nothing…That was Matt. He wanted to know who I was talking to. He thought you were Kari."
"That's 'cause you talk to her like 24/7." Mimi heard Matt response in the background.
Giggling, Mimi told T.K., "Tell him we're seeing each other and we're dating."
Mimi heard, "Hey Matt, Guess what? Me and Mimi are seeing each other and we've been dating for a while."
Mimi burst out laughing when she heard crashing and Matt yelling, "What!?" Mimi heard someone walking and ruffling, then she heard a thud. Mimi pushed the phone against her ear trying to hear better and holding her smirking with her hand. She heard T.K. laughing and Matt saying 'give me the phone, so I can yell at Mimi!' Mimi quickly removed the phone from her ears, but kept it at a safer position against her ear before Matt start yelling, damaging her ears.
"Mimi! Hahaha! He's get me pinned down! Hahaha! But he can't reach the phone, I guess my- Hahaha! Arms are too long for him! Hahaha!" T.K. laughed.
"Give me the phone!" Mimi heard Matt yell and more ruffling.
"It was just a joke! Hahaha! A joke!"
"Hello!? Mimi, are you crazy!?" Matt yelled to the phone.
"Hi Matt, how are you doing?"
"Don't change the subject!"
"What? What did I do?" Mimi asked as innocent as she could.
"Mimi…"
"It was just a joke."
Silence
"Oh Matt, you're no fun," Mimi said, then in a cute little voice. "Will you ever forgive me?"
Matt signed. He could never still mad at Mimi. Then he smiled and pushed T.K. to his room to sleep. T.K. shrugged and left Matt to talk with Mimi.
~o~
"A camping trip?" Tai rubbed his chin, in deep thought then he grabbed another slice of pizza.
The next morning, the sun raised for a new day. The windy air died out as the clouds moved farther down the town. The park was quiet. The tree rustled from time to time. The sun, soon will burn they side of the world when the months will pass to begin summer. People jogged along the sidewalks, breathing heavy, and growing tired. Parents came and passed, pushing along strollers or walking with their children. Leashed dogs pulled their owners to a destination. Where? Who knows. Tai, Sora, Mimi, and Matt were sitting down on a table in the park.
"Unless the rest of the group have plans." Mimi said as she took a bite of her piece.
"Me and Liana don't have plans."
Tai dropped his pizza on his paper plate. He sweatdropped, "What? Does she have to come?"
Matt ignored him, "We'll go."
"Ha…I'm not going." Tai decided.
"It sounds like fun, count me in." Sora answered taking a bite of Tai's piece.
"Yeah, when are we going?" Tai questioned, changing his mind.
The rest of the gang came and joined them for pizza and talking.
"An camping trip, huh?" Davis thought about the trip. Maybe he could be alone with Kari and T.M won't get in his way. "I'm in."
"A camping trip sounds prodigious."
"A camping trip?" Someone asked.
The group turned and found Liana walking towards them. She walked up to Matt and sat on his lap.
"Yeah, we would thinking of going. You wanna come?" Mimi asked Liana, who was feeding Matt a piece of pizza, then finishing it herself. She placed her finger to her chin. Deciding.
"Kay. I'll go." Liana smiled, hugging Matt.
"Great. Then it's settled. We'll going." Mimi smiled to her friends.
How was it? Plz do tell. I'm working on the next chapter, so write to me if I should. Until Next Time
