Chapter 1: Loves first blossom

It was 11:35 when Mimi woke as her alarm went off, not knowing the time, she pressed the snooze button. Her alarm went off again and this time Mimi looked at the clock.

"Oh my Gosh, Its 11:45!!!!!!! She was late, she was supposed to be meeting the gang (the older digidestined) for lunch at 12:15. It took Mimi and long time to get ready, she had to look perfect. Especially today, as Matt was going to be there. She didn't get to see him that much because of his band practice but they were done for a while (A/N trouble with some of band members I guess) so he was able to make the lunch today. She jumped out of bed and raced to her closet, she was looking for the cutest outfit she had.

"AHA!" Mimi said as she found her favorite outfit, and got dressed.

She was going to wear her hair in a pony tail but she decided to wear it down. She put on some make up and lip gloss and raced out the door. It took her about 15 minutes to get there so she thought she would be right on time, it was 12:00 when she left. Mimi was 21 and she had changed a lot since the digital world. She was much more mature, her voice had changed very much where it wasn't so annoying, and she was an over all better person.She also had had, her own apartment for about a year now. All her friends were about the same age as well. She was walking at a fast pace trying to make it on time. She glanced at her watch, "12:05, great I have 10 minutes to get there" Mimi thought to herself, happy that she was going to make it on time. As she was looking down at her watch she bumped into someone, knocking her down. "great", Mimi was thinking of her shoes, she was sure she scuffed them when she fell.

"Oh, I'm so sorry miss, here let me help you up," he said putting out his hand.

Mimi was brushing herself off and checking her shoes, looking down. "that's ok, no harm done," she said looking up to meet a friendly face. Mimi was very surprised to see the man she loved.

"Matt!" Mimi said with a huge smile on her face, even though she was a little embarrassed. Only then did Matt see the girls face, which surprised him as well.

"Mimi...hey!" Matt blushed, he couldn't believe he had just knocked over one of his friends, especially Mimi Tachikawa, he liked her but tried not to show it.

Mimi reached up and took his hand, Matt helped her up and looked down at the ground.

"So your on your way too?" Mimi said, already knowing that he was.

"Yeah, but I think I'm going to be a little late now." He said. "I can't believe I said that!" Matt thought to himself, he couldn't think of anything else to say to her, he was flustered, he knew they had enough time. After all they were only like 3 minutes away.

Mimi hated the silence between them, she decided to break it.

"So I guess we should be on our way?" She asked.

"Yeah, lets......." Matt trailed off as he looked up and stared into Mimis eyes, they were a beautiful shade of brown. He loved her.

"Matt.....whats wrong?" Mimi blushed and looked at him, tilting her head to the side.

Matt thought she looked cute when she did that. "Oh!" Matt realized he was staring and snapped out of it. "lets go"

They started to walk together, but not at the fast pace they were before. They actually had a nice conversation. Mimi didn't know he wanted to be more than just friends with her.

Everyone was surprised to see Mimi and Matt arrive together.

"Hey, so you guys finally decided to show up?" Tai said sarcastically.

"Were right on time" Mimi said with a smile. Everyone else had came early, Mimi just couldn't do that. She always seemed to be late. Mimi sat next to Sora, and Matt next to Mimi. "Sora and Tai are such a cute couple!" she thought to herself, looking at the two. She wished Her and Matt were like that, she sighed. No one heard her except Matt. He looked over at her, he knew she was lonely and wanted to be the answer to her loneliness.

~~~~~The waiter came, they ate, talked and they were all about to leave~~~~~

"Well, I got to go, see ya!" Tai said as he rushed off, with no explanation.

Sora looked annoyed and went after him. "Bye" she said with quick smile at the others.

Izzy looked impatient, he was nervous about a date he was going to have later that day with a girl he met a couple of weeks ago, she was one of Mimis friends. He kept looking at his watch, everyone noticed. Mimi decided to see what was up with him.

"Whats with you Izzy?" She asked.

"N-nothing" he stammered. Everyone looked at him, they knew he was lying.

"Are you sure?" Mimi asked, trying to get Izzy to tell them.

"Yeah.....uh...um, I'm meeting this girl tonight...thats all." It wasn't like him to be so rattled.

"So your going out on a date eh?" Mimi asked, half giggling at how he was acting.

"Y-yeah, I guess you can call it that...." Mimi and Izzy were the only ones talking, so awkward!

All of a sudden Izzy jumped up from his seat and ran out of the restaurant. They were all stunned at what just happened.

"This is so awkward, someone please say something!!" She thought to herself.

Everyone else seemed to have something to do as they all got up, said their good byes and left. All that was left was Mimi and Matt.

"I guess were the only ones that don't have anything to do!" Mimi said smiling at Matt, she was glad he didn't but knew he didn't want to be there, alone with her.

"Yeah I guess so." he said looking at the table.

"Well, I better go." Mimi said, the smile now gone from her face. She couldn't stand being there with him knowing they could never be together.

"Really?'' Matt didn't want her to go, even though they were saying nothing, he liked being around her.

"Yeah...I guess, bye" She said not looking at him.

"bye"

She got up from the table and started to walk away. She was thinking about how she never told Matt how she felt about him, she wasn't shy, and she wanted to be with him, so why hadn't she ever just took a shot at it? And she had just missed a really good opportunity to tell him. She turned around to see Matt walking away in the other direction. She was nervous, but she didn't want another chance slip by her, after all, what did she have to loose? She ran after him.

"Hey Matt, wait up!" she yelled.

Matt turned around to see Mimi running up to him. He wondered what she wanted.

"Whats up?" He asked, curious as to why she stopped him.

"I was just wondering......" Mimi was nervious,she looked away to the traffic. she didn't know if she could finish the sentence. "What if he says no?" she thought to herself, unsure.

"Yeah?....."

Mimi heard Matt and looked up to him, meeting his beautiful blue eyes. She knew she had to go through with it, she loved him so much.

"I was wondering..since I've had the biggest crush on you since forever, If you wanted to go out with me some time?" She didn't usually ask guys out, so she was even more unsure of getting the answer she wanted.

Matt was shocked, "Mimi likes me?!?! I can't believe this, all this time I thought she just wanted to be friends. But now we can be something more!" A big smile spread cross his face, Mimi was happy to see this.

"Yes!!!, I'd love to go out some time with you Mimi!"

"Really, thats great!" Mimi was so happy he said yes.

"So you like me?" She asked, hoping his answer was: "Yes, I love you more than anything Mimi!"

"Yeah, I like you, I just didn't know you liked me!" he said.

"Ok, not exactly the answer I was looking for but it's good enough for me!" She thought to herself.

"So, say tonight?"

"Sure!" Mimi said.

"Same place?" Matt would have said some other place but he couldn't think of one right now.

"Yeah, sounds great!" Mimi looked kind of steamed, she wanted this conversation to go on longer, but it seemed as though it was coming to an end. But she soon put her happy face back on and said she couldn't wait. Mimi then remembered that she had to go to the post office and pick up some mail for her dad, "Why couldn't he do this himself!" she thought to herself, getting annoyed at her father, she was grown up now, out of their life.......sort of. She snapped back to reality and said she had to be on her way.

"Where are you going? he asked her.

"To the post office to pick some stuff up" she told him.

"Hey! I'm headed in that direction myself he said, with a grin on his face.

"Wonderful!" Mimi said as they started to walk together once more.

"So how long have you liked me?" Mimi asked, she wanted to know if his love for her was only a crush.

"Since the day I met you" he said withought even thinking.

"I had a huge crush on you then but now..now its love" he said looking over at Mimi as they walked.

Mimi was so happy! Matt Ishida had just told her he loved her!

As Matt looked at Mimi he saw her face light up, he smiled.

"Its the same for me too" Mimi said.

"I couldn't let this opportunity to tell you get away, not this time" Mimi said.

"I love you Matt..."

They stopped and embraced each other for a deep, passionate kiss. After they kissed they were shocked to see everyone standing around them clapping, with some aaaawwwwws! and whistling. Mimis face went blank, she couldn't believe what was happening. She smiled, trying to play it off. Matts face also went blank.

"Whats their problem?" Matt said jokingly to Mimi. Mimi giggled. Her and Matt were just standing there holding hands. Mimi decided to take action and leaded Matt out of everyone's view, and pass the crowd that stopped to stare.

"Ok....what was that all about?" Mimi thought it was funny. Such nosey people! Matt disliked that experience, just as much as Mimi.

They were almost there (at the post office) and Mimi wanted to get in and way from the people, "What was their problem?" She thought to herself, she was very annoyed by this. They reached the post office and rushed inside. Mimi picked up the mail and put it into her purse. "Why didn't this come to their house?" she wondered. Mimi and Matt were on their way once more.

On their way to her house all she could think about was their kiss, and how Matt said he loved her. Matt was also thinking about this.

"What are you thinking about?" Matt asked Mimi, wondering if she was thinking the same, she had a warm smile on her face.

"Oh, just about how you told me you love me....I'm so happy you do, I was afraid you would turn me down and not like me."

"I do love you Mimi....If only we knew before...." They both looked at each other.

"Yeah......"Mimi said sadly, looking down. "If only........"
