Chapter 2
Summer Break
Another day has pass by. The summer heat was beginning to wave in Japan, making families and drivers to turn on the AC. Families were outside at the park spending family time as Mimi drove by in her Dark red Lexus RX. She noticed some people were carrying luggages. Summer too hot for them. Mimi thought. She had her own AC blasting and the radio at a low volume. Mimi looked over her shoulder, then changed lanes and exited out the highway to the airport. Her parent's plane was canceled and she had to wait for another two days before their plane came. Mimi drove by a booth, took out a ticket, and parked. The parking lot was packed with cars, which Mimi had to park at the end, the farthest from the airport. Mimi entered the airport. It smelled like the dentist room. It sent a shiver up and down Mimi's spine. Giving her the chills. Mimi hated the dentist. That was why the reason she brushed, flossed, mouthwashed four times a day. So she could avoid going to the office of pain. People walked about around the airport. Visiting their families. Buying tickets and breakfast. Some shopped for items. Some waited for their plane to board. Mimi spotted her parents buying breakfast. They said they 'hi's' and hugs.
"Hold on Mimi, sweetie. We're waiting for breakfast to finish." Her father informed her.
"Kay, I'll just get the car." They nodded.
Once Mimi and her parents were driving home, Mimi told them about the camping trip that she and her friends are planning. Her parents approved and told her to have fun. It was passed noon when they arrived home. Her parents were shocked to see the house all tidy and clean. Mimi told them it was nothing.
~o~
"Where is it? Where is it?"
Searching through the messy closet, Sora dug through her clothes looking for black and white ball. She stood up, looked around her room, hoping to see the ball. Sora dropped down to her knees and searched under her bed. Nothing, but papers were under there. Sora raised an eyebrow. She reached over and grabbed the papers. Most of them were her mail, small drawings, which she was really awful at. Some were her class homework with letter grades in red ink. The phone rang suddenly. Sora walked up to her desk and push a side a few papers and picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hey Sora." It was Mimi.
"Hey. What's up?"
"Did your mom approve the camping trip?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well, I was wondering if we all could go shopping for our gears."
"Sure, sounds great."
"Alright, then I'll talk to you later. Bye."
"Bye." Sora placed the phone back. She turned and picked up a paper.
"Agh!!! Here it was!" It was her extra credit paper that she was so suppose to turn in a week before graduation. Too late now. "Hmm…I wonder if I could still turn it in."
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
Sora turned and found Tai at her doorframe. He had a soccer ball tucked under his arm. Sora had the look, 'where did you find that?' Tai noticed the look and brought out the ball.
"Yeah, I found this by the front door. Woah…What happened to your room?"
The sun shined its bright heavenly light to the white room. If one covered the floor, the room would have been clean. Papers were everywhere. On her desk, floor, and bed. A mountain of clothes was poured from the closet. Tai and Sora looked around. Sora flushed red. She stood up, grabbing her shoes, and pushed Tai from her room. They walked out the door. Locking the door, Sora explained to Tai about Mimi's idea of shopping for gears. They walked to the park to wait for they while they play a little soccer practice.
~o~
Matt drove his black Mitsubishi XLS to Mimi's place. Liana came out to call for Mimi. T.K. and Kari were at the back, talking. Yolie and Davis were in the way back in the SUV playing against each other with gameboys. Matt looked back to the house, where he saw Liana and Mimi walking and chatting again. Matt smiled to the girls. He was glad Mimi liked Liana. They were like best friends who haven't talked in a long time. Mimi opened the back door and climbed in to sat beside Kari and T.K. When they arrived the others were waiting for them.
"Took you long enough." Tai teased.
Once in the store, they were looking at the tents.
"So, how are we going to do this? Buy two large tents for girls and boys or buy one for each of us?" Kari asked, looking from one tent to another.
"I thought it out. We'll buy six tents for two to three people. T.K., your hat please?" T.K handed his hat to Sora.
"I knew it was good for something." Davis said. T.K. eyed him. Kari smiled.
"I wrote our names on pieces of paper," Sora dropped eight pieces into the white hat. "Boys first."
Matt stepped up and drew out two. It read; Joe and T.K. They high-fived. Joe removed two more out. Davis and Ken. Davis gave thumbs-up to Ken, who nodded and smirked. Davis took two out. Tai and Cody. Tai dropped his arm around Cody's shoulders, "Cody, we're gonna rule this trip." Cody sweatdropped, and smiled. Which left Matt and Izzy. Matt drew up a piece sign to Izzy.
"Ok…now girls." Sora dropped five small pieces into the hat. Mimi brought out three pieces. Sora, Liana, and Kari it read. The girls smiled to one another. Mimi and Yolie high-fived, they were sharing a tent. With that, in partners they searched and picked out their tents for two or three for Sora, Liana, and Kari. Then all together, they bought what was essential for the camping trip.
"Okay, your total comes out to be: $2413.87." The female cash register announced. The group dropped jaws, then they each took out money. But Mimi stopped them.
"It's okay…I got it." Mimi removed a card credit and gave her capitol one card and ID card to the register, who nodded.
Davis turned around, looking out for something and said, "What's in your wallet?…What? It's a funny commercial." The others watched him, then laughed. Mimi joined in. The register faked a smile and pushed on buttons. Mimi signed and received her cards back.

The night cold air blew against all those who oppose it. Trees rustled. Sounds of bugs can be heard. The gentle whispers that can sleep a hunting tiger to it's feet. Pole lights dim around neighborhoods House lights were off, declaring the good people of Japan are sleeping peacefully. A few dogs barked low against the heavy night air. Once and awhile, a few lone cars passed by neighborhoods, heading home for their warm beds. Only the sound of bags packing in cars was only heard. Dark figures were going in and out of a house to two large cars.
"Are we almost done?" A blond asked as he placed a bag in the back of his cars. "Because I don't have any more room left."
"Half of the stuff still needs to be packed." One said.
"Put it in my car."
"Hey, what if people think we're thieves and they call the police." Tai looked around the quiet street.
"Nobody will think that, Tai. Now, come on there still stuff to pack." Sora nudged him to the house.
~o~
"96 bottles on the wall, 96 bottles on the wall, take one down, pass it around, 95 bottles on the wall."
"Wait, I don't drink." Time passed.
"94 lollipops on the wall, 94 lollipops on the wall, take one down, pass it around, 93 lollipops on the wall."
"Wait, Is it cherry or berry flavor?" Time passed.
"Liana, it's your turn."
"Already? Ok, get me a minute." Liana looked up to the roof of the car as if she will get answer. "Got it."
Dawn broke into the horizon. The sky was colored with purple, red, and orange. Ken sat in the middle. Mimi, T.K., and Kari were at the back with T.K sitting in between the girls. Mimi got up from her seat and leaned in and Liana whispered in her ear. Mimi listened thoughtfully. Liana stopped and Mimi sat back down and whispered in T.K.'s ear, then T.K. to Kari, then Kari to Ken and Ken to Matt, who listened while driving. Matt looked confused. Everyone watched him.
"So?" Liana asked.
"Watch out, Joe's fly's open?"
Everyone in the back started laughing. Liana laughed while Matt smiled bewildered.
Matt turned to Liana, "What was the line?"
"Watch out to the open blue sea, boats are sailing."
Mimi said between laughs, "Who changed that? 'Cause I said that right."
The younger teens laughed and smiled evilly.
"Ken?"
He held up his hands as if saying not him. T.K. and Kari did the same.
"Ok, Mimi, your turn."
Mimi whispered in T.K.'s ear, then he passed it around.
"It's nice laiding with all your friends."
The car burst with laughter.
"It's nice camping out with your friends."
"Shit, who's the one being nasty?"
No one answered.
"My turn." T.K. said quietly.
He whispered in Kari's ear.
"T.K. not here, stop that. Everyone's watching."
T.K. widen his eyes. The others watched him. "What? I didn't do nothing."
Kari giggled at T.K.
"Just joking with you. Go ahead."
T.K. whispered in the girl's ear. Then Kari passed it around.
"Hey, say it, don't spray it."
"Just give me your ear."
Once reached Mimi. "Porn and Hips, let's watch the moles hump."
Everyone laughed.
"What was answer, T.K.?"
"Corn and chips, let's watch movies start."
"Now who is the nasty one?"
"Telephone isn't for kiddies." Ken announced.
Matt stole a glance to Liana, which they were all done playing, then at the road again. He looked to the rearview to see what the others were doing. Ken was reading a book he brought. Mimi, T.K., and Kari were at the back, chatting.
"Hey Kari, wanna hear something funny?" T.K. asked his girlfriend.
Kari's eyes brighten, "Do tell."
Ken also was interested for he stopped reading and listened.
"It was a few days ago, at night. Mimi called and we talked a little."
"Yeah, so hands off of my T.K." Mimi hugged the young blond, smiled mischievous at Kari.
"No, you hands off." Kari laughed as she pulled T.K. to her. They started laughing.
"So, then Matt comes up and thought it was you." T.K. continued, pointing at Kari.
"T.K., shut up." Matt warned.
"And then I repeated what Mimi said about me and her are seeing each other and recently going out, and he-"
Matt flushed, then panicked. He reached and turned on the CD player to fade out T.K's voice. The everyone started laughing except Matt and Liana. Liana yelled to him, but he told her he was going to tell her later. Liana looked at his friends, then to him, then to the road. Confused.
~o~
"Sora, truth or dare?" Davis asked.
"Dare."
The others were laughing. They were high with candy. Joe and Izzy looked back to the display of their friends and shook their heads. Joe drove his silver blue Acura DMX behind Matt's black car. Izzy was viewing the map. It was told to be three hours to get there. It was going to be long trip.
"I dare you to say 'hi' and flirt with the first three cars that pass by. Doesn't matter if old people, young, or girls. Just flirt with them."
Sora and Tai traded places. Sora opened the window. An old widow drove up. Sora waved hi and the old woman waved happily to the young girl. Then Sora did a kiss sign and a wink. The old woman was taken a back. Her old eyes were confused, then she drove faster, away from Sora. Sora and others were laughing until another drove up. Two young teen boys. Sora winked and smiled. The boys smiled and winked back. Sora did a kiss sign. One of the boys kissed back. Then Sora did a 'come here' gesture with her finger. The boy turned to the driver and driver drove closer to Joe's car. A car behind the boys beeped and the boys frowned and drove up. Sora waved good bye. They did the same before leaving. The others were laughing, but Tai wasn't. He looked at the boys plate number. Sora saw this. She grabbed Tai's face and kissed him, telling him he was the only one for her. Sora turned back to the road. A red sport car drove up. There were three girls. Sora waved hi and they waved back. Then, Sora did the kiss sign to them. The girls up front looked at her weird, but the girl in the back kissed back. The digidestined were all laughing. Sora waved bye and closed the window.
Sora grabbed Tai's face and kissed him again.
"What was that for?" Tai smiled.
"I needed to kiss a guy after what I did with those girls." Sora smiled back. "Tai, truth or dare."
"Dare."
"I dare you to flex your abs to that guy and see what he does."
Tai and Sora switched seats. Tai removed his shirt and opened the window. The guy drove up and Tai flexed for him. The driver was surprised, he cursed, flipped his finger, and drove a way. Tai closed the window and put his shirt back on.
"He wants me." Tai laughed as did the others.
"Ok, Yolie…truth or dare?" Tai grinned
"Dare."
"I dare you to flash the line next to us."
Joe almost lost control of the wheel, Izzy dropped the map and to see Yolie's reaction.
Silence.
Davis and Cody watched Yolie between them. Sora stopped laughing and turned to Tai.
"Tai! Are you insa-"
"Okay."
Joe nearly hit Matt as he tried to changed lanes. Izzy spat and choked on his water. Sora and Cody widen eyes, Tai continued laughing. Davis blushed as Yolie climbed onto his lap. She opened the window. There were three cars beside them. Yolie tilted her head, pushing her ear to the ceiling of the car, then lift her shirt up. Davis was a cherry having Yolie on his lap, lifting her shirt up. He couldn't control himself. Tai was still laughing, the rest had dropped jaws. The people on the other lanes had also had their jaw dropped. Yolie put down her shirt, climbed off a blushing Davis, and sat back down.
Rubbing her hands together, Yolie took her turn. "Alrighty, Izzy, truth or dare?"
Recovering, Izzy chose truth, fearing if he chose dares, he would face the same problem as Yolie faced.
"Hmm…Is it true, that you got laid by Penny?"
Izzy turned white. Everyone looked at the redhead, Joe too, but had to watch the road.
"Hey! For the record, I didn't wanted to go to that stupid party and plus with that bitch! How was I suppose to know that the punch was hacked with liquor!" Izzy stopped, breathed, and sat back down with a snort.
"Ok, we're changing games." Sora started.
"No, we're not done playing. Izzy, come on, it's your turn." Tai turned to Izzy. The boy cast his eyes to the map.
Joe spoke up, "Oh look, a gas station. Let's go."
~o~
"Alright, T.K." T.K. nodded and started the pump to pour gasoline in the car as Kari walked up to him.
"Won't it be great? Spending a week with our friends and us?"
"Yep." T.K. respond as he leaned across to Kari's lips.
"The gas' done."
"But I don't want to stop."
Kari placed her finger on the blonde's lips and pushed back. T.K. smiled, removed and placed by back the gas pumper. He and Kari entered the small store. Matt came out with a receipt. He looked it over and headed off to his car. Liana sat up at front. Matt walked up to her.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Liana looked and smiled at Matt. "Nothing. I just can't wait to spend this week with you." Liana wrapped her arms around Matt's neck and kissed him.
"Same here. Hey Liana, you're acting differently. Something wrong?" Matt asked.
"No."
"Hey Matt, we're ready to take off." Joe informed Matt.
Matt nodded.
~o~
Before they left, Mimi had made reservations for the camp area two months in advance. There were a few people from a far. It was nice to have privacy. There was a path Matt and Joe followed. They paid at the booth and searched for the campsite. Which they found it, they unpacked, and settled in.
"What should we do now?" Matt asked as he unfold his camp chair and sat. Liana gave her hand to him.
"Relax." Tai closed his eyes.
Trees surrender them. Brown and green colors waved around them. The clear air blew gently against the trees and the young teens. Smells of filled the air.
Grumbles…
"I guess it's time to eat." Sora smiled. The others smiled sheepishly.
The group took out the food and prepared for breakfast. Once finished, the group decided to go hiking around the campsites. The younger Digidestineds were at up front. Tai and Sora walked behind them, followed by Matt and Liana, then Izzy, Mimi, and Joe.
"So, Joe…I promise that you have a first kit in your bag?" Mimi smiled proving Joe could never go outside without having one.
"You'll never know, things happen." Joe smiled down to her.
"And Izzy, I guess you left that yellow laptop behind, right?" Mimi looked up to the red head.
"Uhh…" Izzy brought his hand to his neck. Mimi laughed. Matt looked back. Mimi smiled and waved. The blonde turned back.
The day passed quietly and quickly. The group walked on until they circled the camping sites and returned to their site. Night came. The young teens lit a campfire and circled around it. The fire cracked and popped. The flame cast a dozen dark shadows about around the trees and dirt ground. Fire rose and fell within its' pit. The orange flames illustrated the faces and inclined bodies who sat around it. The tall trees rustled, bugs whispered in the night air.
"What should we talk about?" Yolie asked, poking at the fire.
"How about telephone?" T.K. suggested smirking.
"You're one to suggest, you like that game." Mimi laughed.
"What's telephone?" Liana asked, looking at Matt.
"It's a game mostly about passing a message around the group. One person starts and he or she whispers it to the next person sitting next to them. And they pass the message to the person sitting to them. Then when the passing reaches to the last person, they say the message aloud to the group." Joe explained.
"Sound ease." Liana replied.
"Yeah sounds ease, but it's not." Mimi told her.
"Oh, yeah…no repeats. Once the person whispers it, they can't repeat. You have to say it as you think it was said." Joe remained everyone.
Time passed.
"Star bars has a maid moving in the war."
Everyone laughed.
"What?"
"What did you say?"
"Where did it change?"
"What was the line?"
"Star Wars is the best ever made movie in the world." Yolie answered.
"One more, then its' night time. It's pass noon" Matt said to the group.
"Alright, I have one." Ken said. He whispered in Kari's ear, then around the message it went.
Tai started laughing. Ken had a looked that said 'oh uh, it changed.'
"Well Tai?"
Tai stopped laughing, but had to continue. He couldn't control it. Wiping a tear away from his eyes, Tai shared the messed up line.
"Gases, gases, coming out from children's' asses." Tai laughed loudly.
Everyone laughed loudly.
~o~
"Hey, I got one!" Davis cheered as he tried to pull hard, but the fish would not quit so easily.
Three days passed by. The old digidestineds were used to camping out at the woods or forest, the new digidestineds were a little uncomfortable at sleeping at night, but Liana was not used to it. She grew restless at night and Sora and Kari were not happy. Matt only smiled. Liana asked them how they could live outside. Tai said, "From experience." The group were fishing at a near by pond filled with fish. The dark clear water reflected the giant mountains. The clear air filled the lungs of all living creatures. Dragonflies near the water. Either watching itself in it's reflect or teasing the fish below, daring to catch them.
"Davis, let it be fish this time."
"Quiet T.A., you're losing my concentration."
"Hey, I think I have something too." Joe pulled on his fishing pole, but pulled back. "It's strong." He pulled harder.
"Stupid thing, come on! Hey, Kari! This one's for you." Davis said leaning backwards, pulling the pole with his weight. Kari only smiled. T.K. has his hand supporting his head as he watched them. Cody came and pulled Davis back, but the fish would not give in. Davis and Cody gritted they teeth. The other group was watching for Joe to Davis and Cody. Pulling with all their strength.
"Forget this!" Joe had it. He gathered all his strength and pulled hard. Davis and Cody gasped and fell into the pond.
Water splashed and waved violently. The rest of the fish swan away much the groups' dismal. The water stood where Davis and Cody's chest was. The group laugh along with Davis and Cody. The two boys slowly walked from the water to the old wooden dock. The wood cracked and waved.
"Careful. You're rocking the dock." Mimi warned, help Sora lift Cody along with Tai.
The dock cracked again, then the supports and ropes gave in and sent the group of teens into the cold, dark water. More splashes and waves came to be in the water. Thirteen heads popped up from the water. Eleven heads turned to the two boys. Cody dropped his head lower in the water. Davis grinned and shrugged. Everyone came out and headed to camp, wet. Mimi started laughing and soon everyone joined her. Mimi walked behind everyone. She stopped and turned. She walked forward and sat on the ground near the pond. She took in the surrounding. Trees stood tall, the mountains stood by from a distance. Small animals ran, darted here and there. The air blew a crisp of fresh air. The water waved and settled, but waved again by the sudden movements from creatures or the strong wind.
Mimi heard footsteps behind her, turning she saw Matt sit next to her. He looked out to the surrounding as she had done. Mimi turned and continued to her surrounding.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Mimi started.
"Yeah." Matt signed.
Silence.
"I'm happy you found someone. I'm glad, really." Mimi said.
"Oh? Why's that?" Matt asked.
"You need someone to open up to. You usually close everyone away from you."
"Not all the time. I opened up to you before, right?"
"Yeah, but Liana's different. I like her." Mimi smiled to Matt.
"She's surprise."
"She acting differently to me. Is she all right?"
"Must be the camping trip. She's not used to camping out at night, not like us back in the digiworld."
"True."
Silence.
"What about you? You have someone back in America?" Matt, this time started the conversation.
"No."
"What about Chris?"
Mimi signed, "He's gay, you know T.K. asked the same thing."
"Oh, sorry."
"It's okay."
Silence.
"Why did you come back?" Was Matt's question.
"What? I can't be with my friends? That's so mean." Mimi laughed.
"No, I didn't mean it in that way."
Silence
"I came back, partly 'cause my parents had to move back and I wanted too."
"Why didn't you call one of us?"
"You mean you?"
"Well, yeah. I'm your friend, Mimi."
"I just wanted to surprise you guys."
"Oh, well you did surprise us."
Silence.
"Mimi?"
"Yeah?"
Silence.
"Yeah, Matt?" Mimi turned and found Matt drawing closer to her. His breathing was crystal clear to her ears. Her face was growing hot. She closed her eyes, feeling his breaths down to her neck, up to her cheeks, and to her lips. Mimi felt the radiation of his lips coming closer. Mimi felt her head draw closer to his face, due to his hand behind Mimi's head. The gap was closing between them.
"Matt?"
Mimi and Matt snapped away from each other. Liana was coming out from the path to the camp. Mimi hid her face to stop her hot face. Matt rustled his hair at the back of his head with his left hand. Liana walked up to them, smiling.
"Hey guys, the group's leaving. Hurry, so we can catch up."
Matt and Mimi stood up without a word. Liana walked between them, looking from one to the another. The days passed, the group packed up and headed home with the three-hour drive.
That's the end of chapter 2. Plz review, so I can continue writing without writing for the waste of my time. But I can't help it. I love writing. Well, 'til next time. I'll write the third story for reviews. Thank you and have a great day.
