AN: Nothing to say, just enjoy the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own nada de Digimon. (Nothing of) for the non-spanish speakers. I do own Liana, Mina Blye, William, and other names that I will mention in the story. Don't worry you don't have to remember them. They're just some friends.
Chapter 6
Party at Tai's
"A party? Where?"
"At Tai's house."
"What for? What's the occasion?"
"Nothing. Tai thought it would be a good idea."
"Oh, sure. I'm in."
"Great. It starts at eight sharp. See you there, Mimi. Bye."
"Bye, Sora."
Mimi placed the phone back. She sat down when the phone rang. With a sign, Mimi brought herself up again.
"Hello?"
"Hi, sweety."
"Oh hi, William."
"How was your day?"
"Good."
"How's your head?"
"It's good. It hurts a little. The bump's almost gone."
William smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, If I would have known you were behind me when that board whacked you, I would have jumped in front of you to take the hit."
"I know you would. It's not your fault."
"Sorry."
"Forget it. Hey, you wanna do something today?"
"Sure. What do you have in mind?"
"How about the movies?"
"Sounds good."
"Great. Pick me up in ten minutes."
"Sure thing. Bye."
"Bye."
William and Mimi decided to walk to the movies rather than drive. It was only three blocks from Mimi's apartment complex. The rain dropped upon their umbrella lightly. The wind blew, driving Mimi's hair to her left. Cars drove on each direction, passing the couple along. William bought the tickets and they had to wait in a long line, which left them in the rain. Time passed, finally letting William and Mimi to welcome the warm air in the movie theatres. Mimi removed her coat and sat beside William, enjoying the movie starting. When the movie was over, the rain stopped except the gray colors still gloom around the town.
"That was some big line for that movie, huh?"
"Yep."
"Hey, William. My friend's having a party at Tai's place tonight. Wanna come?"
"Tonight? Can't. I have this paper due tomorrow. I have to work on it or the teacher will have my neck."
"Oh, okay."
"Sorry, but hey, have fun tonight." William kissed Mimi on the forehead.
Once Mimi came home and William left to do his report, she turned on the TV.
Ring…
Ring…
Ring…
"Hello?" Mimi answered the phone.
"Mimi?"
"Oh hi, Matt. What's up?"
"Not much, just wanted to talk to you." Matt answered.
"About what?"
"Anything. I'm bored over here."
"Oh? Why don't you come over?"
Silence.
"Matt?"
"I rather not."
"Oh okay. So, what do you wanna talk about?"
"Hmm…how about William?"
"William? What about him?"
"How did you guys meet?"
"At the parking lot, at school."
"Was that at the time when I called you about how I couldn't come to class?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Nothing. Go on."
"Well I tripped on the curb and he caught me. And after that we became really good friends."
"Oh…Hey Mimi gotta go, thanks for the talk. Bye."
Again Matt hanged up before she could respond. Gazing at the phone, Mimi shrugged and went back to watching her shows.
~o~
"So, that's how they met. If only I came to school, rather than moaning over Liana. William probably wouldn't have been in the picture. Why, Mimi? Why didn't you wait for me?"
"Maybe it's because Mimi thought you were going to tried to win Liana's heart back and to be with her forever."
Matt tuned his head and found T.K. behind him, then turned back.
"Sora was right. I did have feelings for Mimi when I was with Liana."
T.K. wasn't surprised. He knew how Matt still had feelings for Mimi and visa verse. T.K. sat beside Matt, not saying a word.
"I'm so stupid."
"It's not your fault." T.K. pointed out.
"When Mimi left for America, I thought that was it. I thought I'll never see her again. Yeah, we talked on the phone, but it wasn't the same. I needed her here. Needed her…with me…I mean I waited for her, but she never came and still I waited for her. Than I thought she was with someone else. I tried to get over it. That's why I was with Liana, to forget Mimi. But when Mimi came to the graduation…I…"
T.K. patting Matt on the back.
"Now, she's with him…" Mist grew in his eyes.
"William? You know what? I never did like him. He seems too something that I don't like. I bet you, Mimi's gonna break his sorry heart." T.K laughed.
Matt smirked along with his younger brother.
"Well, have to run. Gotta get back home. Promised Kari I would come by her house. I hope all this works out for you, Matt." T.K. said, squeezed Matt's shoulder as comfort.
~o~
"But I don't want to leave." Kari smiled as Tai pushed her and T.K. out the door of their apartment.
"I have no time to argue with you. This party is for older adults only and you guys are under age."
"What you guys gonna do if it's adults only?" T.K. questioned Tai.
"That's none of your business."
"I'm gonna tell mom."
"Are you still using that line? Now beat it. Here, take some yen and go to the movies or something."
"Come on, T.K. We're not wanted." Kari put arm around T.K.'s shoulder.
Tai saw this, "Hey, no funny business! The movies then straight to Yolie's place for the sleep over. I mean it, Kari! I'll call Yolie right now."
Kari waved her bye as she and T.K. walked to the movies.
"Don't' worry too much. You have to trust Kari. Besides, T.K.'s with her. He won't let anything happen to her." Sora stood by Tai, watching the young couple figures' until they were mere shadows.
"Yeah, you're right." Tai closed the door and walked to the phone. He dialed.
"Who you calling?"
Tai glanced at her, then smiled, "Hello, Yolie?…Hey, it me Tai…I know this is short notice, but could Kari sleepover at your place for tonight?…Thanks…I'm having a party over here…No, you can't come…because it's adults' only…that's none of your business…No…no…no…talk to you later. Bye."
Sora sweatdropped as Tai turned off the phone.
"Well, now that's done. Let's finish up the party."
"You don't trust Kari, do you?"
"Nope."
~o~
"Hey, hope we'll not late." Izzy said, as he and Mimi stepped into the house.
"Nah, Joe's not here yet." Tai opened the door wider.
A few other teens were around the house, talking, eating, and drinking punch. They found Matt and Sora talking with Liana. Her new boyfriend wasn't at the party. Izzy went into the kitchen, talking with some friends. Mimi was about to head to Matt and Sora when there was a knock on the door. Mimi scanned for Tai, but he was nowhere to be found. Shrugging, Mimi opened the door and came in Joe.
"Hey, Mimi." He smiled.
"Hey. Go find Tai, so he'll know you're here." Mimi yelled over the music.
Joe nodded. Mimi shut the door and continued her walk to Matt and Sora. Matt was dressed in black. He held a punch cup in his hand. Sora wore blue jeans with a warm tan turtleneck sweater. She, too, had a punch drink. Liana was dressed in white clothes. She was eating a cookie. Mimi came up to them.
"Hey, guys." Mimi smiled.
Matt only nodded. Sora smiled at her friend. Liana waved and patted a spot next to her. Mimi sat and talked with them.
"What's William?" Sora took a sip of her punch.
"Oh, he has a paper due tomorrow." Mimi signed.
Matt muttered.
"What was that, Matt?"
He shook his head, taking a gulp from his drink.
"Yeah, I asked him. But he said no." Mimi told them.
"Oh. That's too bad." Sora took a drink.
"What about you, Liana?"
"No, he couldn't make it." Liana glanced at Matt, but he was looking at something else.
Hour passed as the party started. A few other friends came.
"Ah! Tai, get your feet out of my face." Someone yelled as others laughed.
"Who's butt is this?"
The music was turned down. The food was going. Some teens gathered around the four teens that were playing twister. Tai, Liana, and two other friends were trying to hold on. Others laughed. Then suddenly everyone fell over except Liana. She got up and stood up proud. She smiled.
"Yeah! Take that losers."
The lights went out.
"Well, that was a short victory."
After a few minutes the guests of friends left to head home. Everyone left except the Digidestineds. Tai found some candles and lit the room. The rain poured outside leaving the group in silence. Not knowing what to do.
"What do we do now?"
"Tell ghost stories?"
"Truth or Dare?"
"Name that Mon?"
The lights came back to life. Tai and Joe were picking up any trash on the floor. Matt and Izzy washing the dishes while Sora and Mimi put away any games and brought pillows and blankets to the living room. Once the boys were done, they joined the girls on the couch. Sora, Mimi, and Izzy sat on the couch with Tai, Joe, and Matt on the floor. They faced the blank TV.
"So, what do we watch?"
"How about 'Enough'?"
The boys groaned.
"How about 'Triple X'?"
It was the girls' turn to groan. After a few minutes they ended up watching 'Enough' must to the boys' dismay. They passed around the popcorn and enjoyed the movie. When the movie was over and the credits rolled up. Sora sat up sleeping with Mimi had her head on her shoulder. Izzy was cuddled up against Mimi. Tai laid on the floor. Joe used Tai's leg as a pillow. Matt laid also on the floor. Mimi stirred in her sleep. Blinking her eyes awake, Mimi glanced around. She smiled when she saw Izzy next to her, nuzzled against her. Maybe too comfortable. Mimi gently pushed Izzy on his side of the couch. She carefully stepped over Joe and Matt, then stepped into the balcony. Mimi lean on the edge and tried to warm her arms. Mimi heard the sliding glass door open. Mimi turned and found Matt with a large blanket around him.
"Hi." Mimi turned back to the view.
"Hey." Matt whispered.
He saw her shiver, then walked up to her and shared the warm blanket with her. Mimi shyly smiled and pulled the blanket fully around her, giving Matt enough of the blanket.
"Thanks."
Matt nodded and joined her on the view.
"No. I mean, thanks for a lot of stuff. You've always been there for me. From thick to thin." Mimi continued on the view.
Matt swallowed, looking at her, "You know I would do anything for you, right?"
Mimi smiled, looking at him, "Yeah."
"Always."
Mimi smiled as she leaned on Matt's shoulder.
Hmm…R&R plz…this one's shorter…kind of rushed through it…I'll write more…
