AN: Sup people? I don't usually say that, but it's fun to say 'sup'. ^_^ hey thanks for the reviews. I'm glad you guys like my story. And I know most of you want to see Matt and Mimi together, but not just yet. Yeah, I hate to have Matt with a girlfriend that isn't Mimi. It hurts me more than you guys. I'm writing it. Mimato all the way! Yeah!…ok…that's it, I feel stupid. Well, I don't have much to say now. Maybe on the next chapter.

Chapter 3

Fall Classes

The morning sun poured rays of light upon the dark side of earth. Warm lights thaw away what was left from the beginning fall night. Shadows escaped to their dark depth prisons. The light faded and appeared as thick clouds loom across the sky, covering the bright sun. Ever though the sun was out, cold wind breezes blew against the streets to the neighborhoods. Trees settled and rustled. Cars were starting for those who have work to go to. Their motors wheezed and coughed from the over night cold. The smoke came from the back of starting cars. People watered and whipped the frozen ice on the front windows. Some used their wipers, but had to wait a bit longer before the ice was remove for the drivers to see what was on the road ahead of them. Some turned up the heated. Fall was almost here and the cold was already coming. The paperboy rid along the streets throwing and trying to heat up from the cold.

The sun finally reached a house on the second floor and pour it's light into a window. The sun lit the warm room and onto the bed. The sleeper moved and covered their head with the sheets. The person moaned. The alarm clock sounded off sending the sleeper to wake. Mimi yawned, rubbing her temples and ran her hand to brush back her hair from her face. Two months had passed since the camp and Mimi was still thinking she would see the inside of the tent if she woke up. It was passed six and Mimi had to wake up for a test she came to take for the college she and her friends were taking. Mimi entered the restroom. She came out with her clothes on and hair fixed. Mimi grabbed her purse, keys, and ran into the kitchen. She grabbed the phone and dialed.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Tai. You guys going for the test?"

"Yeah, I'm just leaving. I called the others and they're heading there right now."

"Good...I'll see you guys there. Bye."

"Bye."

Her parents left a note saying. 'Had to leave early for work.' Mimi grabbed the note and threw it away. She gathered her stuff, locked the door, and drove to college. While driving, Mimi suddenly thought of that scene with her and Matt. What happened there? Mimi was a bit confused. Well whatever it was, she and Matt never talked about it and soon forgot about it. Mimi stopped at a red light. But she thought about it just now. But she couldn't just interfere with Matt and Liana. They looked so good together and Mimi was happy for that. Shaking her head, Mimi turned and entered the college campus and left the scene from her mind.

Taking a look to her watch, Sora drew in a deep sign. Tai joined her.

"Should we just go inside?" Tai suggested. He had his arm around Sora shoulders.

"Yeah, they know where the room is." Sora unbelted the seatbelt and got out of the car with Tai behind her.

They arrived to the Odaiba College, fifteen away from the Digidestineds' town. The school was large with buildings here and there, students walking around. With Sora leading the way, Tai took in all the surrounding. Sora scanned the area before retreating to a map in her hands. Finally from their walk, Sora found the room that the test was taking place. The room was large enough to fit a whole house. Fifty or more chairs were nicely arranged in rows and columns. Tai and Sora sat to the side of the wall. Students from old to young sat around them and away from them. Some talked or browsed around. Matt and Liana came into the room. They sat behind Tai and Sora. Minutes later Mimi and Izzy took two chairs to Matt's left side due to the taken sits from other people. Tai, Matt, Sora, and Liana talked while Izzy and Mimi did the same. Someone came into the room with papers in hand and stood by the front table.

"Can I get everyone's attention?"

The class turned and faced the instructor. She stood tall and lean. Her small glasses fit perfectly on her tiny nose. Her green eyes reflected brightly from the lights. Her clean blonde hair was worn in a tight bun with strands of hair around her face. She wore a dark blue suit. The skirt ran along to her knees, showing off her perfect long legs.

"You sure can." Someone said in the back. A few people started laughing.

The instructor gave a 'you're funny, but not that funny' smiled.

"Now then, my name is Mina Blye and I will be your instructor for this placement test. I know most of you are thinking why you need to take a placement test when you already finished high school and I know most you are intelligent, but we need to make you take this test to have like a updated record of where you are." Blye passed the test down in rows. "If you need pencils, come by my desk."

The others took their tests and passed it along. They took focus on the test. Threes hours passed and Tai and the others took their leave. Blye nodded to them. It was pass two and the group grew hungry. Izzy suggested they go eat at the school campus cafeteria. After minutes of walking and asking directions for the cafeteria they arrived to the lunchroom. They passed a small hall and entered a large white room. Long tables were arranged in long rows. There was another room to the right, which lead them to the menus of what for lunch. Tai and Sora headed to the pizza area, Izzy headed to the sandwich area, and Matt, Liana, and Mimi headed to the Mexican section.

"Wow, so much to pick from."

They ordered and paid at a register stand. They ate and talked. Students came and gone. The hours passed and the group thought it was time to head home. Tai and Sora drove home. Matt and Liana drove to drop of Liana. Mimi give Izzy a ride home.

"You seem quiet, anything wrong?"

"No, not really."

"Than there is something wrong."

"No, just confusing."

"Yeah? About what?"

"Well, I'm not going to tell names."

"I'm listening."

Mimi took a deep breath. "Hmm…I have a friend back at America, whose friends with her best friend."

"Ok." Izzy respond, continued to listen.

"They have been friends for like since they were little. Now, he has a girlfriend and she's very happy for him. But something happens between them at the…park, but was interrupted. Something serious. And since then, they haven't talked about it. Like they just forgot about it."

Izzy signed, "Well, the only thing I say for your friend, Mimi is they have to be careful on their actions. Something good or bad can come out of it." Izzy opened the door and stepped out. "Thanks for ride, Mimi."

Mimi nodded and drove away.

~o~

"Hey, Matt?" Liana turned to Matt.

"Yeah?" Not taking his eyes from the road.

"You love me?"

Matt turned to Liana as if she was grew another head. "Of course I do, Liana." Matt said, taking her hand within his. "I love you." Matt kissed her hand.

"Just curious."

"Why? What's wrong?"

"Nothing, you've been acting differently since the camping trip."

"Oh? Well, I'm sorry if I hurt you in any way."

"You didn't hurt me, I'm just worried."

Matt stopped at a red light. He turned to Liana. He held her face in his hands.

"I love you and only you." With that Matt kissed Liana softly.

The light turned and Matt drove to Liana's house.

"I don't want to sound pushy or anything, but you've been acting differently too. Something wrong?" Matt asked.

Liana looked down to her hands, she hesitated, then she smiled. "Well you know, high school's over and we're going off to college. It's a big step."

"Good point." Matt smiled.

It was pass five when Matt dropped off Liana and headed to his house that he shared with his dad. Matt stepped out of his car and the sun was starting to set. The sky was colored with orange and blue clouds. Matt took the stairs two at a time. Digging for his keys, Matt took out a picture. It was Mimi in her graduation gown and diploma in hand. She had given the pictures to her friends when they were done taking the test. Matt took the time to stare at Mimi of how pretty she was. Matt suddenly remembered the scene with him and her. He was so dangerous close and he wanted to get closer. Then Liana came into mind. Shaking his head, Matt put the picture back in his pocket. He had Liana now and Mimi was now just his past.

Opening the door, Matt stepped into the house. He entered the living and saw T.K. and Kari sitting on the couch. No TV on. Nothing was on. The young couple was sitting quietly and staring at Matt as he picked up the mail on the table.

"What's wrong with you two?" Matt asked, sorting through the mail.

T.K. shook his head, "Nothing."

"Nothing? Then what were you two doing?"

"Homework." Kari spoke up.

"Riiiight. Then where's the so called homework?" Matt eyed them.

"Hmm"

"Kitchen."

Matt looked over his shoulder, "Nothing's there."

"You know what? We didn't bring it…we, we were just reading." T.K. said.

"Hmm," Matt smiled, walking to his room and said before entering, "You guys were making out."

T.K. and Kari blushed.

T.K. smiled at Kari, "Busted."

~o~

"Come on, you stupid car! No, wait…my beautiful car. Please start for me." Mimi cooed to the car, hoping the car would start if she spoke nice to it. Mimi turned the key again, but the car did not start. She looked around for the source of the problem with the car. It didn't have any gas. Groaning, Mimi walked back to her house. She opened the door and dialed on the phone. After a few minutes everyone was busy, except…Mimi dialed and held the phone to her ear. It rang once, twice…

"Hello?"

"Sorry, I know today's the marathon of 'The Godfather', but my car's out of gas and I need to go to the counsel office to talk with a counsel 'cause we can't make appointment, but we can go there 'til I can speak with a counselor. So, could you take me to Odaiba College? I'm sorry, please?"

"It's okay, I bought the movie a long time ago…"

"But too lazy to push play?"

"Yep."

"So, could you?"

"What?"

"Take me to the college?"

"Oh right, sure. I'll be right there."

"Thanks, bye."

"Bye."

Ten minutes, Mimi locked the bolt to her door. She walked to the sidewalk, when Matt's car pulled over. She climbed into the car and Matt drove away. They got there and walked into the counsel office. A line of people formed from the office to the end of the building.

"I guess I won't be watching that marathon after all." Matt signed.

Mimi turned to him, "Go watch it. I'll wait, then I'll call Tai to pick me up."

Matt shook his head, "Nah…I'll wait with you."

It was seven in the morning and the counsel office wasn't open yet. It opened at eight, which left Matt and Mimi waiting for an hour before the line moved. It was pass eight and the line was moving slow. Mimi sent Matt up to the front office to sign in her name and social security number. Matt asked a lady, who worked there how long the counselors were going to be finished with the students. She replied with a sorry and she said there was only three counselors in. Matt reported back to Mimi.

"It's thirty minutes per student and there are only three counselors."

"What? Damn…I'm so sorry, Matt, for dragging you all this way."

"It's no problem. Besides it gives us time to talk about the old times." Matt smiled, sitting down beside Mimi.

They talked about their childhood. How fun it was. They talked about the good and hard times. About the digiworld and how they miss Gabumon and Palmon. They talked about school. Her years in America and his years in a band. Their graduations and camping trip, then they stopped.

Once and awhile the line moved a little.

Silence.

"So, how about that…"

"Matt?"

"Yeah?"

"What was that about? Back in the camping trip, at the pond?" Mimi asked, not looking at him.

"…Dunno. Just a mistake, I think. I reacted the wrong way."

"Oh."

"I…"

"Mimi Tachikawa?" Someone called.

Mimi jumped up and ran to the speaker, Matt followed her.

"Here, I'm here!"

"Hello Mimi." The counselor said and entered her office with Mimi and Matt behind.

Matt was driving Mimi when he said, "Need to head to the gas station. Out of gas."

Matt walked to the booth, told the register the number, and paid him. Walking back, Matt placed his change into his wallet. The gas started to pump into the car when Matt placed the pumper into the car. Opening the car door, Matt found Mimi gone. Matt looked over to the backseats, she wasn't there. Matt walked to the other side of Mimi's seat, but she wasn't there either. Matt scanned the whole area of the station. Matt ran to his side of the driver seat, watching the cars pass by on the street when Matt crushed into someone. Bags of snacks dropped to the floor.

"Sorry, Matt." Mimi squatted and picked up the bags.

Matt helped her pick off the last of the bags. "When did you go inside the store, I didn't see you?"

"A while back, I was kinda hungry. Peanuts?" Mimi handed him a bag of salted peanuts and sat on her side of the car, waiting for him.

~o~

Days passed. Coming out of the shower, Mimi picked a piece of paper and her phone. Dialing, she heard the phone ring. The machine picked up. It was the new thing. Register right over the phone. Smiling, Mimi pushed buttons after hearing what the machine was instructing her to do. Mimi pulled the phone from her ear. Confused, Mimi tried again. Still confused, Mimi didn't know what was wrong with the machine on the phone. Mimi gave up and hanged up. Fixing herself, Mimi grabbed her purse and drove to the college to register there and asked about that stupid, confusing machine on the other side of the phone. Mimi headed to the freeway. It was a lot faster to travel without stoplights.

Mimi parked the car and came out. Grabbing her cell phone, Mimi headed out to the admission office. Filling out an application, she stood in line with another people. Mimi waited a few before it was her turn. The lady gestured her hand and said, "Can I help the next person?" Mimi said hi and the middle aged lady what classes she wanted. The lady just nodded and typed in her computer. Mimi asked what was wrong the machine over the phone registration. The lady replied it was having problems and the students can't register over the phone and they have to here by person.

"Ok Miss Tachikawa, you're all set."

"Thank you."

Mimi took the schedule paper and left the office. Walking to her car, Mimi was looking over the classes. She would start pass seven and finish at noon.

Is this shorter and boring than usual? Hmm…I guess didn't write that much. Sorry for the shortest. I'll try to write longer and funnier for the next chapter. Please review…thanx.
