She's gone, Matt thought. He had been and staring at the direction where she had walked off to for a period of time. He began to head back to camp.

Tai sat up groggily stretching his arms. He yawned and looked around the cave, he blinked and noticed that Mimi, Gabumon, or Matt was there. He nudged Agumon and Sora beside him. "Hey, you guys wake up…!" Being the loud mouth that he is, he woke up everyone else. Takeru sat up, causing Patamon to fall off his head, he looked around for his brother, "Matt, where are you?"

"Mimi's gone!" Palmon practically shrieked, completely waking everyone from their trance. They all ran out and found Gabumon who was busy cooking something by the fire.

"Morning!" greeting them all with a handful of fruits. "Breakfast anyone?"

"Mmm…Food!" Agumon commented, "*completely stuffing himself* 'Ey Tai, try this!"

Tai looked at Gabumon, "Gabumon, where's Matt and Mimi?"

"I don't know, I thought Mimi was still sleeping and knowing Matt, he's probably just taking a walk," Gabumon replied.

"Well, knowing Mimi, she's probably off frolicking around and picking dandelions," Commented Joe while cleaning his glasses. He squinted and put them back on and saw Matt walking back. Tai looked at Matt as Joe asked, "Matt, where've you been? Is Mimi with you?"

Matt just shook his head and looked away to a direction, "Mimi…she's gone."

Palmon went up to him, "Gone? What do you mean? Why didn't she say anything to me?" she said with a panic tone in her voice.

Matt put his finger on his lips and just replied, "She's gone."

Mimi found herself walking around a Dark Forest. Even though it was morning the forest gave no sign of light. Her dress was torn and her arms and legs were covered with cuts. "I wonder if Palmon's awake yet…" She said to herself. She kept on walking and tripped on a stump, falling on her face. "Arrgh…"

As she got up something fell from her bag, it was her digivice. Mimi picked it up and stared at it, how she'll miss her friends: Palmon, Sora, Takeru, Matt. At the thought of him, a smile crept on her face and she put her finger on her rosy lips. That kiss was all that she had needed. But did it really mean something? She thought to herself. Mimi decided to go on when her digivice started to go off, it usually meant that there was something nearby, a Digimon. Mimi suddenly heard heavy breathing behind her and gravely looked back. It was Dokugomon.

"What do ya mean you let her go?!" Tai yelled at Matt after he finished explaining where Mimi went. Palmon was almost crying in the back, finding out that her best friend had left without her.

Matt just stared at the ground, "I had to let her go."

"What do you mean you had to?! She could get hurt out there—worse, get killed!"

Matt clenched his fists, "It wasn't my decision Tai, Gennai said she had to leave what else was I suppose to do!" Tai and Matt were just about to go for each other's throats when Sora stepped in.

"You guys, quit it!" she scolded, "Fighting won't do anything!"

Matt just shook her hand off and glared at Tai. Izzy, who had been busy working on his computer, finally spoke, "I think I might have a way to track down Mimi's location."

"See?" Sora said.

Tai crossed his arms. "Well?"

"You see, our Digivice sets off a signal when a Digimon or another Digidestined is near, but it can only locate the object at a certain capacity of the area where we are in the Digiworld. But, using my laptop, we can enlarge the map to make it so that we can find her anywhere in the Digiworld," Izzy explained and typed furiously.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's find Mimi," Said Biyomon flying over to Izzy.

"Hmm…that's strange."

"What is it, Izzy?" Asked Tentomon.

"It can't find Mimi anywhere in the whole Digiworld, it's like she's—vanished."

"Vanished?!"

Suddenly, there was a small flash of light by a rock and a hologram appeared, it was Gennai. Instead of his usual smile when seeing the kids, his face looked grave and troubled. "Hello Gennai," Everyone said as they approached him.

"Children, I'm afraid that I bear you bad news…"

Takeru kneeled down in front, "What's wrong, Gennai?"

"As you all probably know already, I had ordered Sincerity to leave the group," he looked down, "Now, it is also my fault of the consequences…I am so sorry."

"W-what are you saying, Gennai?" A Digivice appeared in front of them, followed by a torn up khaki purse and a green crest. Matt, seeing this, almost fell back as his eyes widened, it felt like a he just took a huge blow on the stomach, he couldn't believe it and didn't want to hear it.

"Sincerity encountered a Dokugomon that—she tried all she could…This was all that was found of Sincerity—Mimi—is gone," Gennai said, "I am sorry, Digidestines…"and just like that, he was gone within a blink. No one spoke after that. They were all too busy trying not to believe what they had just heard and to wake up from this nightmare. Matt fell down to his knees and Takeru ran to him and started crying, Matt too felt his own tears presenting themselves. The Digimon comforted Palmon, who was practically bawling

.

They all separated to their own worlds, trying to recall the good times they shared with Mimi. Izzy still sat by his laptop, remembering when him and Mimi were stuck on an island that was circling Infinity Mountain and Izzy was trying to figure out how to reverse the direction it was going. Mimi on the other hand, found out with sheer dumb luck.

"Mimi, you did it! You reversed the direction of the island!" Izzy exclaimed.

"I did? You mean we can leave?"

Joe sat by a tree near a puddle of water, throwing rocks at it. As the water cleared he saw Mimi's face and smiled thinking of how she sometimes supports compliments and how they're on the same side.

"Joe's right, it's getting pretty dark and I'm really tired. Can't we rest now?"

"Really, Joe. Can't we just like, no fight them and let someone else take care of it?"

Takeru cried quietly with Patamon, they talked about how Mimi acted like she's their age when she complained, and both laughed at this.

Sora was crying too. She thought of how she can always talk to Mimi when she can't talk to Tai or Biyomon, and she thought of how she'd miss her only friend that wasn't actually a guy.

Tai on the other hand, remembered how he would always tell Mimi to shut up when she won't stop whining about how tired she is and they would always have to stop for her and her small predicaments. He thought of how much he'd miss that.

"Tai, my feet hurt, can't we stop now?"

"Mimi, it's not even dark yet!"

"But my feet are killing me!"

"You just said that ten minutes ago!"

"Well they do!"

Matt was sitting at the spot where he had let Mimi go. He was playing his harmonica. Tears were streaming down his face as he slowly stopped and looked at the water. He remembered her beautiful face, her silky laugh, her radiant smile- her loving kiss. Even though she never said anything, Mimi loved it when he plays his harmonica.

Matt was sitting by the fire taking watch, playing his harmonica. Lost in his thoughts.

His little brother was sleeping right beside him, blanketed with the warmth of Gabumon and Patamon. He stopped short and heard a soft applause behind him. It was Mimi.

"That was great."

"How would you know?" Right after he had said this he quickly regretted saying it.

Mimi was a bit taken back by this but continued, "I guess I wouldn't…"

She sat down and quietly listened as he played a short ballad. When he stopped a small voice came from beside him, "That was cool, Matt…"whispered a tired Takeru.

"It's sad though," Mimi dared added, "It's nice and beautiful in the beginning, but you know that it will always come to an end…"

Why did it have to end now, he asked himself. He touched his lips and tears of sorrow fell down from his eyes. He remembered what Mimi had told him, "You'll never lose me, I'm yours to keep."

Sudden rage took over him as he stood up and yelled to the sky, "I thought you said I'll never lose you! Why did you leave me?! It's not fair!" He started to cry and fell down on his knees, "It's not fair…! And it's all my fault…"
