Matt lay in his large ice blue room, deep in thought. He had only one more day to decide on the final 7, that will be checked by Jyou and the others then led by him to face this unknown evil that could be bigger than they expected. He had watched all the trainees all week, seeing their strengths and weaknesses and if they would have the stability to handle the dangerous feet that may lay in their way to becoming rich and great. He had made a list of 10, and Jyou and Izzy were going to choose the final 7 from that. Mimi was on that list, much to Matt's dislike, he liked the girl, more than he would let on, yet he didn't want to see a girl like that, forced to kill and be killed herself, although her strength and courage had grown over the weeks. Matt sighed deeply, there was no way to stop Jyou's decision, he wanted her in the final 7, and to stay on for the next few days with the others, training, until the evil made its presence known. He hated Jyou for his decision yet knew deep down that she could handle herself in dangerous decisions after all she was a girl and everyday girls fight battles to be who they are. (this is very true!)
Matt then stood and picked up a small suitcase that lay on his bed. He put his long black leather jacket on and slipped on his shades (oh he'll look nice if he every wore that!), then made his way out of his room, towards the portal entrance.

"I'm going now Yolie!" Mimi called as she picked up a small pull along suitcase, with 'essentials' for Kari inside.
"What? It's really early Mimi, at least have some breakfast" Yolie said as she peeked from her bed covers.
"I can't, I need to get there early and help Kari. I promise I will pick something up along the way" Mimi smiled and walked to Tanemon.
"Why can't I come?" Tanemon asked with a sad expression on her face.
"You know that they'll see you when they check me as I go through the portal, they'll think I stole you" Mimi explained
"But they never spotted me when we were going through last time" Tanemon said
"That's because there were loads more people, and there's only little old me this time" Mimi smiled then kissed Tanemon on her leaves "Be good for Yolie and remember…"
"To hide" Tanemon chirped
"Thanks again Yolie, I owe you one" Mimi said and Yolie smiled.
"Hey no probs, just bring me back a slice of cake, oh and a cute guy while you're at it!"
"I'll see what I can do" Mimi giggled then walked to the door. "Bye"
"Bye have a nice time" Yolie and Tanemon smiled, and Mimi then left.
'Right, go through the portal, pick up my car from the parking, with any luck it hasn't been stolen or dad will kill me. Then drive to Kari's and come to her aide' Mimi thought as she pulled her suitcase (which is on wheels, y'know the ones!). She then stopped in front of a glass door, which read 'Gate access, authorised personnel only'. Mimi took out her slip from Jyou, which had his signature of authenticity and a 'kiss' mark below his name, 'Creep' Mimi thought as she looked at the slip of paper. 'Why I agreed to dance with him in the garden dance, is practically beyond me, Kari owes me big time'.
Mimi then handed her slip in to a middle-aged guy who opened the doors for her. Mimi took in a deep breath as she came across the large screen, which already had the portal open. 'Odd' Mimi thought, yet disregarded it and walked through the screen. Within a second Mimi found herself in the large room where she first came to go to the digital world.
"Hello again" a guy said with red hair, and Mimi turned.
"Oh hey" Mimi smiled
"Can I see your pass please?" Izzy asked
"Sure" Mimi answered and handed Izzy the slip from Jyou. Izzy glanced at it for a moment.
'Jyou signed this personally? Unlike him' Izzy thought "Here you go, have a nice time" Izzy smiled and handed the note back to Mimi
"What time do I have to get back?" Mimi asked
"By 11. Then the gate closes" Izzy replied
"Arigatou" Mimi said the pulled her suitcase out of the room and towards the parking area.
Mimi stopped outside and felt the sun beating down on her, it was a lovely day for a wedding and Mimi smiled as she thought about how her best friend was going to be happy for the rest of her life.
"Too bad my idea of bliss didn't turn out like that" Mimi sighed as she walked towards her 'still in tack' convertible. "Well there's plenty of others, I hope. Stupid Tai, I was meant to get married first and live happily ever after, but now I'm just gonna be the bridesmaid and I'm living a crazy and dangerous life" Mimi thought as she put her suitcase in her car and put the roof down. Mimi then scanned the area out of curiosity and saw a familiar figure, quite a distance away, getting into his car.
"Is that Ishida sensei?" Mimi asked herself as she leaned over to look more closely. "Can't be. I must be thinking about him too much" Mimi thought then started her car. "The sooner I get to Kari's the better"
Matt threw his suitcase in his car and walked to the drivers seat. He then noticed someone staring at him oddly. "Who's that?" Matt asked himself as he quickly glanced at the figure in the car. He shrugged and opened his door just as the other car drove past him, giving him a good view as to who the mystery person was. "Was that Mimi Tachikawa? Why the hell is she out of the digital world?" Matt thought as he saw her drive away, towards Odaiba.

Kari walked impatiently around her lounge as her mother arranged her bouquet of white roses and cherry blossoms. Jun sat on the sofa and read a magazine in her dressing gown, as they all waited for Mimi to arrive.
"Hunny stop walking up and down, you'll where out the carpet" Kari's mum told her frantic daughter.
"I can't help it, what if she can't make it. I knew becoming a digital warrior was her worse decision" Kari said as she bit her nail.
"No her worse decision was buying that bright pink sweater with those pom poms hanging off her sleeve" Jun butted in.
"She was eight when she bought that, and I think I'm talking about in life, not fashion, Jun" Kari snapped
"Hunny calm down, she'll be here, she knows that this is the most important day of your life, she wouldn't miss it for the world" Kari's mum said soothingly and Kari calmed down a little.
"Hello?" Mimi said as she poked her head around the door.
"MIMI!" Jun and Kari cried and hugged her tightly
"I thought you weren't coming for a second then" Kari said
"You know I wouldn't miss this for anything Kari" Mimi smiled
"We've missed you so much. The mall hasn't been the same without you" Jun said as she picked up her suitcase "Geez what have you got in here bricks?"
"No, the essentials for Kari's big day" Mimi smiled "Hey Mrs Yamagmi"
"Hello Mimi, I'm glad you could make it. How have you been?" Mrs Yamagmi asked giving Mimi a hug
"Great thanks, training's hard but I'm getting through it" Mimi replied
"So your still at it, even though Tai's got a new gal?" Jun asked and Kari nudged her.
"Ignore her Mimi, c'mon I'll show you my dress and yours!" Kari beamed and led Mimi into her bedroom.
~*~
After hours of hairstyles, make up, and catching up, the girls were ready. Mimi and Jun stepped out of the room in a dusty pink silk dress, which came from the chest to the floor and had a fitted bodess with a small pink bow that tied around the waist at the back. Mimi had her hair in ringlets and Jun had her hair styled to be less spiky, and they both were wearing a small tiara in their hair and holding a similar bouquet to Kari's only smaller. Kari then entered and her mum gasped with joy as she saw her daughter wearing a long corseted gown, with gold embroidery down the side and a sparkling tiara on her loosely tied up hair.
"You girls look fabulous. And Kari you look beautiful, TK is very lucky" Kari's dad smiled and kissed his daughter.
"Awww, I'm gonna cry!" Jun blubbed and Mimi giggled
"We're not even at the church yet!" Mimi said
"Yeah, c'mon we better get going!" Kari's dad said and led his daughter outside and Mimi, Jun and Kari's mum followed behind, where they saw two white cars waiting.
"Wow" Mimi gasped, "Kinda makes me wanna get married"
"Yeah" Jun agreed and they both got in one car with Kari's mum as Kari and her dad got in another. After a few minutes of claming down, Kari and the others set off towards the church.
~*~
TK waited inside the large church as the guest started to arrive. He twiddled his fingers nervously as he saw that the time was drawing nearer.
"TK, relax will you. I haven't met your bride to be yet, but I'm sure she wouldn't want you freaking out on her at the alter" a voice came from behind TK.
"Yeah your right, Matt. Thanks" TK smiled as he turned to a messy blonde guy who was wearing a dark blue suit and a dark blue tie.
"Hey what are brothers for?" Matt smiled and patted his brothers back. "Now c'mon, lets wait for the bride"
~*~
Kari and the others pulled up outside the church. Mimi and Jun got out first and dusted their dresses down so they looked perfect. Mrs Yamagmi checked their bouquets, as Mr Yamagmi helped Kari out of the car.
"You ready?" Mimi asked
"I think so" Kari replied nervously
"C'mon lets go" Jun smiled and Mrs Yamagmi made her way into the church to tell the vicar to start the wedding march.
Kari and her dad walked down the aisle first, letting her long vale from her tiara trail behind her. People smiled as they saw the bride and TK turned to see her walking to him.
"So that's Kari, you've gotten better bro" Matt whispered
"Yeah I know" TK smiled.
Then behind Kari and her dad walked Jun and Mimi clutching their smaller bouquets. Matt couldn't quite see who the bridesmaids were, and decided that it wasn't worth looking anyway, his mind was on other things, and he didn't want to stay long during the reception.
Mimi and Jun walked to the side, and Mimi took Kari's bouquet as TK lifted her vale. The vicar then halted the music, and the vows then began to be proclaimed.
~*~
The wedding was over and Kari and TK drove off to the reception followed by Mimi, Jun and Kari's family in another car. Matt was grudgingly pushed into going by his parents, even after him protesting about the fact that he had to make a major decision to make, yet his parents put on the 'it's your brothers big day' speech and he fell for it.
Inside the large and beautifully decorated hall, was the reception of the newly-weds. Mimi hadn't seen anyone all day as she was mostly talking to Kari and Jun about the whole thing. Suddenly TK came into the group of girls.
"Hey Mimi, how are you?" TK asked as he hugged her
"I'm very well thank you TK, your looking very dashing today, Kari's a lucky lady" Mimi smiled
"Hey your not looking to bad yourself, have you met my brother?" TK asked
"Yeah Mimi, meet TK's brother" Kari pushed and Mimi gave her a look.
"Hey bro, come here!" TK called across the room, and Mimi dropped her head to the floor.
"Oh I wonder if he's cute" Jun said nudging Mimi.
"Jun, I don't really care"
"Mimi meet my brother, Matt" TK introduced and Mimi lifted her head.
"Mimi?" Matt gasped in surprise
"Matt?" Mimi cried "Er…I mean, Ishida sensei"
"You two know each other?" TK asked
"Yeah we do" they both said in unison still gazing at each other.
