Chapter 8
Argument
"I don't know why you're calling…I said I don't want to talk with anyone. Bye."
"Wait, wait, wait! Don't hang up!"
"…Yeah?"
"Don't you wanna talk?"
"No…Bye."
"Wait, wait, wait!"
"What?"
"Could we talk?"
"No…Uh oh…Hey, can't talk…sssssshhhhhhh…the phone's…ssssshhhhh…dying…I'll…sssshhhh…talk to you…ssssshhhhh…later…ssssshhhhh…bye."
"I know you're doing that on purpose."
"What?…sssshhh…can't hear…sssshhhh…you."
"Fine…you know what? Me and Kari are coming over."
"I don't care. I won't be here."
"How do you know if I don't have my cell phone?"
"Do you?"
"Maybe, maybe not."
"Don't-"
Ding-Dong
"Too late."
"T.K.!"
He hanged up. Mimi threw the phone against the couch, angrily. She looked to the door. A shadow was showing at the doorway despite the lack of bright light. Turning, Mimi decided to go to the back door through the fire escape ladder. She grabbed her purse and walked to the kitchen. Opening the door, Mimi was surprised to find T.K smiling, blocking the door with his strong body. A few seconds later, Kari popped her head into view.
"Hey, we brought some pizza." Kari took from her hiding place by the door. She and T.K. came in.
"And a few movies." T.K. pulled up a white plastic bag to eye level.
Mimi signed, "T.K. Kari. I have no time for this. I have to get going."
"Where you going?" T.K lowered the bag, smiling at Mimi.
"To the mall."
"Good. I need to buy some movies anyway."
"No, wait. I need to go to the…autoshop. My brakes need fixing."
"That's okay too, I need to go there 'cause my wind shield wipers are broken."
"You know what? I can't now…I need to go to church."
"But it's Wednesday."
"Fine, I need to go to the…to get my nails done."
"You know what? Me too." Kari said, placing the flat box of pizza on the kitchen table.
Mimi rubbed her temples, "You guys, is there a chance you will leave me alone?"
T.K. and Kari looked at each other, "No."
Mimi signed.
"Come on, Mimi. We came to cheer you up."
"Tell me. Did your brothers order you to come?"
"No, we came 'cause we care."
"Come on, let's head to the mall and have some fun." T.K. said as he took a hold of Mimi's hand and pulled her to the car. "Kari, the pizza please."
"Right." Kari grabbed the pizza, locked the door, and followed T.K. and Mimi.
"Wait, my brakes don't work." Mimi sat in the passager sit of her car.
"Please Mimi, with all those excuses, someone could take a hint of a lair." T.K started the car and drove to the mall.
~o~
The cold wind blew gently against the car. The gray, heavy clouds shadowed over the city, casting a gloom, lonely street around the buildings. The rain started heavy, but died light. T.K. turned left and right before he entered the parking lot. T.K. found a spot. He and Kari stepped out. Mimi didn't move. T.K. opened the door to her side.
"Come on, Mimi."
"No."
"Please? You can't ignore your favorite guy in the whole world, right?"
Mimi looked away.
"…I warned you."
Mimi wide her eyes as she felt T.K.'s arms around her. Then she was lifted up.
"T.K.! Put me down!"
"Stop wiggling."
Kari laughed.
"Put me down."
"No. I'll carry you to the mall. For you are my princess." T.K. smiled.
"And what about me?" Kari had her hands on her hips.
"My queen." He kissed her.
The wind blew harder and the clouds started to pour its rain among the young group. Kari ran ahead, laughing with T.K. and Mimi behind her. They reached for shelter. They stopped and continued laughing. T.K. put Mimi down. Kari checked the glass door to the mall to find it locked. The group cuddled together, eating pizza, waiting for the mall to open. A few minutes later, someone came and opened the door. They stepped inside.
"Uhhh, we have the stores to ourselves." T.K. smiled. Kari smiled with him.
"Yeah the mall's open, but the little stores ain't." Mimi scanned around.
"Come on, let's get some breakfast."
"Where?"
"There." Kari pointed up. The others followed, there was food store opening.
The group entered the store and ordered their food. Customers started to fill the mall as T.K. and the girls started to eat their food. They finished and browsed the mall.
"Hey, I need to head to the restroom." Kari said as she left.
T.K.'s cell phone rang. He reached into his pocket.
"Hello?…Oh hi…at the mall with Kari and Mimi…yeah…okay, it's no problem…okay…love you too…bye."
"Who was that?" Mimi smiled, with an eyebrow up. "A new secret admirer?"
"Wha?…No, it was my mom. She just wanted to know where I was."
Mimi nodded and sat on a nearby bench. T.K. sat beside her. They were silence, glancing around the mall, looking at stores to the people walking around. Then T.K.'s soft blue eyes brighten.
"Let's try that."
Mimi followed where T.K. pointed. "Umm…"
"What's it call? Bust-a-groove? Bust-a-move? That's one with the large pad on the ground. Wanna try it?"
"Hmm…I'm not much of a dancer."
"Me neither. Let's go." T.K. grabbed Mimi's hand and pulled her to the game. "I'll be here and you there."
"Really?" The seller asked. "Just put your feet there before the game starts."
The game started. On the screen, the characters started to move as T.K. and Mimi followed the moves directed on the screen. The beat was slow and easily for the young teens. The beat became faster. T.K. and Mimi started laughing due to the fact they were missing some steps. Kari came and joined in with all the laughter. Mimi gathered her focus and caught on with all the moves. T.K. missed more moves and ended up making up his own moves. When the game was over T.K. and Mimi stepped off the base and joined Kari.
"Phew, wasted all my energy." T.K. smiled.
"Yeah, but Mimi, you were on a move there." Kari laughed.
"I guess I was."
The girls laughed.
"Hey, thanks bring me here," Mimi smiled to the young couple. "I really needed this."
"Now, how about those nails getting done?" Kari asked.
"Let's do." Mimi smiled.
T.K. moaned. The girls dragged the blonde to the beauty salon. The lady in the store greeted them and told them to wait. The young group browsed around the store. Different colors and lengths of wigs were displayed on a wall. The girls looked from one wig to another.
"T.K., come here." Kari gestured the boy to her.
Mimi grabbed a blonde wig.
"Yeah?" T.K. came.
Mimi placed the wig on T.K.'s head. T.K., immediately, took off the wig.
"Hey."
"Please, put it on." Kari begged.
T.K. looked to Kari, "Okay." He placed the wig back on. "So, how do I look?"
Kari looked at him, surprised.
Mimi smiled, "T.K., your one hot chick."
"Like, thanks." T.K. puffed the wig and making a pose.
"Uh, ahem." Someone coughed.
The others turned and found the same lady staring at them. T.K. took off the wig fast. They smiled. Less than an hour, the group decided to head back home. When they were near the exit, Mimi spotted something she did not like. She saw William with some other girl. Mimi walked up to William. He looked at her approach. She then snapped him across the face.
"You fucker!" She tried to snap him again, but he stopped her.
"Mimi stop it! What are you doing!?"
"What am I doing? What are you doing?!" Mimi looked to the girl next to William.
"Fuck this, Mimi! We're not together anymore!…What!? I thought you are going to be happy! Go with Matt! He's the one you want, right!?"
Mimi clenched her hands into white fists. She brought her hand again to strike him, but he caught it. William brought his hand to strike her in return, but someone grabbed his hand and sent a punch to his face. William went down. Mimi found Matt next to her, rubbing his bruised hand.
"Matt, what are you doing!?" Mimi screamed at him.
"He was going to hit you!"
"Why? Why can't you just leave me alone!?" Mist grew in her eyes as Mimi ran out of the store.
"Mimi wait!"
Tai pulled Matt away from William and the crowd. Sora, T.K., and Kari followed.
"Matt, how did you know we were here?" T.K. questioned.
"Mom told me. I asked where you were and she said you were at the mall with Kari and Mimi. Now, let me go. I have to find Mimi!" Tai let go and Matt ran outside the mall.
~o~
Mimi stopped and sat on a bench. She found herself at the park. The trees were dry and dead. All the leaves were on the ground, covering the dying grass. The wind blew harder. Mimi tighten her coat around her. Tears fell down her cheeks. Mimi tried to stop, not allowing herself to cry over something stupid. Wiping her eyes, Mimi stood up.
"Mimi…"
Mimi turned around, Matt was standing a few yards from her.
"Why do you keep doing this? Always trying to help me when I don't need it?"
"He was going to hit you. I couldn't-"
"You had no right to. That was my business."
"But." He came closer.
"Don't touch me!"
"Let me help you."
"Why?"
"Please, Mimi."
"Why, Matt? I thought you were my friend." Tears form around her eyes.
"I am. I'm still am. Always and forever."
"Then why do you keep doing this! Why do you follow or worry about me?! I don't need your help!"
"Isn't that what friends do?"
She laughed, shaking her head, "No, you're still that boy. That boy who cares for no one."
"I've changed. I care…I care for you."
"Stop! Shut up!"
"Mimi please."
It started to rain light, then came in heavy. A light fog covered the park, surrounding the two.
"You're still that selfish boy! You don't care!…Always shut people away…Always cold to those who care!" Mimi spat.
"Mimi, stop it."
"It was always your way! You, you, you!! But I was glad Tai was in change in the digiworld."
"Shut up."
"Oh, but I shouldn't say. I'm glad I still have both my parents!"
"Hey!"
"Yeah, your parents split up and now you think your all high and mighty!"
"Shut up, Mimi! You don't know shit about my life! Or the fucking things I had to go through!"
"I don't know? I don't know!? Of course I know! You always brought it to us! When your father got mad, you came to us with the same attitude! Blamed us for everything! You might not know it, but you did!"
"Fuck you!"
"Fuck you too!"
"Go 'o hell!"
"Hopefully, I'll see you there!"
Then the two walked from each other and their different ways home.
Woah, what a scene. Please R&R. Oh question…Should I add a song to the last chapter in the ending? Tell me if I should. 'til next time.
