Chapter 4... Coming so soon after Chapter 3?! What a miracle.
I wish it to be known that despite contrary rumors, I DO NOT own Digimon.
I also would like to say that I've got some other stuff that can be read at the beginning of Chapter 1, mainly about don't get offended and all that jazz. (I have never seen Chicago. Just thought I'd add that that wasn't meant to be a pun.)
So, hope you enjoy; I'd have to say, personally this is my favorite chapter yet. Remember to review!

Mimi threw back another shot, keeping her eyes shut for a few seconds after tipping her head back up. Upon opening them, she looked around at the astonished male faces gathered about her. "WHOOOOO!" she finally cheered, grinning as they joined her, raising their glasses in similar shouts. Izzy had left her long ago after some stud in leather pants bought him a drink... Her vision was beginning to blur as she scanned the shouting group. The alcohol was beginning to take over.
She felt… like dancing, and she knew that after marveling at how well she could hold her liquor, she knew that any one of those guys would be glad to oblige, but there was just something about them that creeped Mimi out. And there was obviously something wrong with people that could creep her out when she was this drunk. "I've gotta go to the bathroom," she excused herself quietly, slinking away as she heard them making cracks about what she was going to do in there. Oddly enough, she actually didn't have to throw up, but it'd be best to let them think what they wanted, she thought, rolling her eyes as she pushed open the back door.
Sighing to herself, she flopped down onto the step, dully glimpsing around the brick alley before producing a flask from inside her jacket. She popped off the cap and took a swig, rubbing her left temple with the other hand.
"You gonna drink that all alone?" The voice startled her, making her choke a little. She looked over to where Tai leaned in the shadow of the building.
She screwed the cap back on the flask, wiping her mouth with the back of her right hand. "Shit… you scared the crap outta me." Tai nodded as if this was a usual thing, "What're you doing out here anyways?"
He shoved his hands into his pockets, sidling over a little closer, "Me and Sora got into a fight… she left."
Mimi popped the cap back off of the flask, "You guys aren't exactly the most, well, 'likely' couple, but I think you two are… cute. What'dja fight about anyways?"
"God… I don't even remember. She said I was no fun anymore and she just kept… bugging me, asking all these questions, so I told her to shut up and well…"
With a tiny giggle, she took another drink, wiping her mouth again before she spoke, "Wow, I think that's the most you've ever said to me, like, ever."
From his spot on the wall, he turned his head to look at the skinny, green-haired girl sitting on the steps. He thought about how much different that girl was than the spoiled princess she had been in their childhood. Her hair, green with a slight tint of blue, fell just past her shoulders and had been loosely curled; with a smile, he remembered the giant pink cowboy hat, and well, giant pink everything she used to own. "Can I have a drink?" he finally asked, motioning to the now half-empty container in her paint-stained hands.
She smiled graciously, handing it to him and watching as he took a colossal drink. He put the flask down on the step next to her and they locked eyes. They sat, just looking at each other for what seemed like forever before Tai took a step forward; he looked at his feet, knowing full well what he was doing, but not entirely sure of himself. His eyes flickered back to hers and somehow, without moving or saying anything, she said everything with her brown eyes. Slowly, he lowered himself onto the step next to Mimi, wasting no time before he leaned over and kissed her passionately. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and he positioned his tightly around her waist. They kissed fervently for a few minutes before Mimi stood up, laced her fingers through his, and pulled him through the doorway and back into the boisterous club. Laughing loudly, they raced through, hands still clasped together, unable to hear even each others' voices over the deafening music.
----------------------------------------
Maybe he wasn't the reason she had gone, but he was definitely the reason she had stayed at that crummy club. There had been times, albeit they were few and far between, where her eye had wandered, but mainly her attentions had been solely focused on Matt. But now… after seeing… him, Jun couldn't remember what Matt looked like if she tried. Not that she's want to.
Even now, she could still picture him standing in that group of guys at the bar, crowding that weird-looking girl with the green hair. He hadn't seemed interested in her anyways, Jun knew. She had an eye for these kind of things. She sat at her desk, chin cradled thoughtfully in her right palm, thinking about his reddish-brown hair with golden highlights, artfully rumpled; he had these intense brown eyes that she managed to catch a few times from the table she had reserved two months in advance to see what's-his-name. After she had worked up enough nerve, she had gone over to the bar and ordered a strawberry daiquiri and… their hands had totally brushed as she reached for it. And they had been so soft, too! Jun was sure he used Mango Papaya #3, same as the girl in the cubicle next to her. When she followed him home, she had heard one of his friends call his name out the window, "Bye Izzy!" Izzy.
And it got even better, she had seen him talking to her very own little brother for like, 5 whole minutes. Sure, Izzy looked kinda pissed and Davis looked really confused, but they were talking. She had to wonder how geeky Davis would know such a sexy college boy, but then again, he was friends with Matt's obviously gay little brother. In fact, it was quite entertaining, listening to Davis defend that poor boy's sexuality when it was so obvious he was, well, gay. Jun would know; she had an eye for these kind of things.
----------------------------------------
The night air was warm as they stood outside the club, giddy in their moment of artless passion. She was laughing as she watched him try to hail a taxi. Five-or-so minutes later, he finally caught the attention of a friendly-looking elderly cab driver, who drove up and offered the green-haired girl wearing black and the boy with the sad eyes a ride. They both giggled as they climbed into the backseat. The driver beamed throughout the whole ride, watching them through the rearview mirror as they kissed and cuddled the whole way to the motel.
----------------------------------------
She had smiled politely at the woman as she entered the store, carrying two already-full bags, she browsed around the lip gloss, headed back to look at some bathing suits, and rounded off her shopping trip with a trip to the pajama section. The girl returned the woman's smile as she left without buying anything; it was nice to see such a sweet girl.
The rush of adrenaline practically carried Kari along the sidewalk, she skipped down past the outdoor food court before stopping to survey her latest "purchases": a cute little pair of pink boy briefs with red trim, a new eyeshadow palette and - this was the crown jewel - a pair of rimless tinted designer sunglasses. A very good trip indeed.
Surely, she knew she shouldn't… she had a date tonight. And not just any date... a date with TK - who she could now officially call her boyfriend. And even though there had been lots of other guys throughout the years, it was difficult to get over her first real crush. And that night last week, she had finally channeled up nearly 10 years of suppressed feelings and kissed him.
He had asked her out the very next day and straight away , after Davis had made only 2 death threats, they had got around to kissing some more. Now tonight, they were going to their first 'official' date. Just to a movie; nothing real special. They had seen thousands of movies together over the years, but now, Kari would be able to reach over and grab his hand when she as pretending to be frightened and they would share a pop with only one straw… it would all be so… perfect.
So it was necessary for her to take the eyeshadow, she needed some more neutral tones. Everyone always said they brought out her otherwise-plain eyes. And the sunglasses, she knew she looked cute in them; she would wear them earlier in the date so when they got inside, she could take them off and TK could comment on how much the neutral tones on her eyes brought her otherwise-plain eyes out. As for the underwear? Well, she had just liked those… it's not like TK would be seeing them or anything… obviously. For God's sake… it was TK.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ooer. The introduction of Jun… she always was my favorite character. O-o Actually I didn't have a favorite, but she's funny.
It may take a while to get chapter 5 up (i.e. I have no life, it'll probably be up tonight.) and I can't really think of anything good to put as a sneak peek, you YOU'LL just have to hold tight. Please review. (:
I wish it to be known that despite contrary rumors, I DO NOT own Digimon.
I also would like to say that I've got some other stuff that can be read at the beginning of Chapter 1, mainly about don't get offended and all that jazz. (I have never seen Chicago. Just thought I'd add that that wasn't meant to be a pun.)
