Chapter 2:

I sat there staring at the harmonica seated in my palms. Matt's special harmonica! He gave it to ME. Out of all the people! I smiled at Matt, noticing how late it must be, I suggested we go to bed.

The fire crackled softly, creating a dreary fog. It would make anyone sleepy, but I couldn't fall asleep. My mind was racing and I felt excited about the huge leap Matt and I had taken. A few hours ago we stared at each other blankly, and now we talked like good friends. Actually more than good friends- we were boyfriend and girlfriend. I smiled to myself. I lay on my back gazing up at the stars. How pretty the night was. There wasn't a cloud in sight and the moon glowed as stars glistened in the velvet navy sky.

"...Matt?" I whispered over to him.

"...Yeah?" Came a dreary voice.

"You asleep?" I sat up and looked over at him.

"No..." He yawned, "I feel tired from the journey, but I can't sleep."

"Same here." I yawned too.

"Let's try to get some sleep, Mimi. We'll feel better in the morning..." Matt leaned over to my sleeping bag and kissed my hand. "Goodnight Mimi." He crawled back into his bag and nestled himself in the covers.

"Goodnight, Matt"

I got up early the next morning. Just as the sun was rising over the trees, a thin mist was spread across the forest and dew covered the plants. I yawned and shivered. It was quite cold this morning so I rubbed my bare arms to keep warm. I looked over at Mimi. She slept beautifully. I didn't want to wake her, but I wanted to go check on everyone down below and see if they were still there. I decided to go and write a little note to Mimi. I stuck my finger into some moist dirt and grabbed a huge green leaf. I spread my finger across it, spelling out a message:

Dear Mimi,

Gone to check on the camp,

Be back soon.

-Matt

After I had finished, I rinsed off my fingers in the stream flowing close to the desert. Something was rustling in the trees. Probably just some wild Digimon. I decided. I pulled my gloves back on and headed for the camp. After trekking through many bushes, I reached the site. A small smoke hung over the burnt out fire and everyone lay asleep. Joe lay spread out on his blanket, snoring loudly. Everyone else seemed to be quiet. I counted everyone when I noticed someone was missing. Tai's sleeping bag flap lay wide open and her shoes were gone. I panicked, wondering what he would say to everyone. "Oh no! Tai!" I scanned the camp looking for any sign of Tai's items. Even though I was mad at Tai, everyone would really hate ME if I just left him here somewhere. I looked around when I noticed that beside Sora, a piece of paper lay face down. I bent over beside her and tugged it from under Sora's body. It read:

Dear Sora,

I'll be at the stream.

Come and I'll tell you everything,

-Tai

I suddenly had a brain wave. That could have been the rustling in the trees. It could have been Tai!

I noticed the blue stream's mist up ahead. I ran over and saw someone sitting by the water, staring at their reflection. I walked up behind the person and he jumped.

"Matt!" Tai saw me and blushed. He stood up straight and noticed that I looked stern.

"Well Tai, tell me everything." I folded my arms across my chest.

"Well you see, uh... well... um, I was... er... gathering wood and I kinda..." Tai knew I wasn't satisfied with his information.

"You saw the letter, didn't you?" He replied meekly.

"Yes, I did." Tai twisted the bottom of his t-shirt and bit his lip. "Tai, you're just making us take longer. Mimi's waiting for me-" I clapped my hand over my mouth realizing what I had just said. Tai smirked.

"Don't worry Matt." He replied smartly. "I know what you and Mimi were doing last night. I saw the whole thing!" Tai put his hands on his hips. "Don't hid anything from me, Yamato!"

I was lost for words.

"Y- you saw us?" I replied stunned.

"Yes," Tai laughed. "Matt and Mimi sitting in a tree..."

"Cut it out!" I yelled.

"K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

I slowly woke up, I had read Matt's letter and wasn't worried. Until I noticed a yelling sound coming from below the cliff. It sounded suspiciously like Matt and Tai. I decided to go check it out.

I followed the sound of the voices. They got louder as I reached the spring. I peered out from behind a gigantic green leaf, and saw just what I expected, Matt and Tai arguing over something. I was about to head back to the cliff to pack up our stuff when I heard the word 'Mimi' mentioned in their argument. I listened closely.

"Matt loves Mimi! Matt loves Mimi!" Tai repeated.

"SHUT UP!" Matt finally cried. "I do not have a crush on MIMI!"

I clapped my hand over my mouth. I could feel my eyes stinging from my sudden rush of tears. "The only reason I slept on the cliff with her is because she wanted me to! I was trying to be nice!" My sadness suddenly turned to anger. Had Matt been using me?! But why would he give me his harmonica? He's probably just saying that to be cool. I glared at him for being such a rubber neck. Tai could bend him any way he wanted.

"Too nice Matt Ishida." Tai replied. "What about the harmonica, huh?"

Tai looked at Matt. Matt was stuck. Let's see how he's going to handle this. I watched carefully. Matt's cheeks turned red and he stood there awkwardly probably trying to think up some excuse.

"I didn't give it to her. I gave her my TK's..." Matt admitted like he actually meant it.

"You did?" Tai looked at him as if he was thinking hard. "Then... where is yours?"

Matt pulled a silver harmonica out of his pocket. The letters M.I. were inscribed on it. I gasped as I quietly slipped the harmonica Matt gave me out of my pocket. It had the letters T.K on it. I looked at Matt angrily. My blood boiled as I glared at my love. Mister Matt Ishida. I couldn't take the anger anymore. My feelings burst out of me as I cried loudly behind the brush.

"Matt?...How could you..." I looked at him sadly.

"Mimi?!" Matt looked at me wide-eyed.

"Didn't know I was here, eh?"

I wanted to spill out all my questions to him, but my will power wasn't strong enough. I held my hands up to my face and ran. I ran as fast as I could. I didn't care where I was going. I just wanted to get away from Matt Ishida.

I stood there dumb-struck. Mimi had listened to the whole conversation!

"Well Matt, happy? You lost your girlfriend!" Tai looked at me. I wanted to punch him until his bones caved in. We were having such a good time last night! Tai always had to ruin everything.

"Well Tai I hope you're satisfied! Now Mimi hates me! Great accomplishment!" I glared at Tai. I was so mad. I wanted to run after Mimi and find her. Who knows where she was going.

"Tai. What were you going to tell Sora when she-" My question was cut short when I heard a voice from behind me.

"Hi Tai!" Sora was stepping over the bushes, making her way over to us. "Matt? What are you doing here?" She asked shyly.

"Tai wanted to tell you something." I replied blankly.

"Yeah, I got your note. So what is it?" Sora stood there, hands on her hips.

"In case you didn't notice Matt is here" Tai gave me a fowl look.

"Sorry to get in your way." I snickered.

"So? Just tell me. Matt is a good friend, he can stay." Sora looked at Tai.

"Actually I can't. I've got to go somewhere." I looked at them both.

"Yeah, he has to go find his girlfriend!" Tai laughed. My blood boiled as I saw him snickering.

"SHUT UP!" I screamed so loud the leaves trembled. "Yes, I AM going to find my girlfriend. I don't have to bother to tell you who it is because Tai is going to tell you EVERYTHING!"

I looked at Sora and she seemed to look confused. I raced off before they could see my tears. "Mimi! Mimi!"

I had been running for a long time. I had just realized that my legs were getting tired so I stopped by a huge tree. I bent over and breathed hard. I slowly got up and realized that I didn't recognize these surroundings. I heard things moving around in the trees and creatures scurrying around on the ground. Where am I? I quivered, wondering where I was. I suddenly remembered my crest. I held it up and a little green speck was moving across the screen.

"Matt?" I noticed that I wasn't too far away from the campsite, so I headed to the spot where a bunch of colored dots sat. "That must be the camp site!" I thought. It wasn't very far away, so I started out again.

I was starting to get tired. My feet ached and my throat was dry. "Mimi?" I called croakily. No sign. I was beginning to worry. Mimi could have gotten completely lost. My heart raced until I realized she had her crest with her. I breathed a sigh of relief. There was no point in continuing, so I headed back to the cliff.

"Hey Matt! Where have you been all night?" TK asked as I passed by the campsite.

"Somewhere..." I sighed. Tai and Sora weren't back yet. Tai was probably over exaggerating what had happened last night and what a backstabber I was for lying to him about Mimi.

I had finally reached the cliff. Everything was stacked in a neat pile and our sleeping bags had been rolled up. Mimi... I stared around at the place. This is where we had our first, real talk. I walked over to the ledge of the cliff. I sat down and peered into the distance. The sun had nearly completely risen and the dampness in the air turned humid.

"Matt?" A voice came from behind me. I turned around. Sora was standing there.

"Well, um... I'm sorry about you and Mimi..." Sora looked down at her running shoes.

"Tai told you everything, didn't he?" I felt agitated.

"Well, yeah. I'm sorry. I won't tell anyone else..."

"...But Tai will" I finished her sentence.

"I'm sorry Matt. Anyways, I came up here to tell you that we're staying for a couple more days to rest up. Mimi is down at the campsite and she wanted me to tell you that she wants her sleeping bag back."

I looked at her sadly. "Okay... I- I'll get it..." I slowly got up and grabbed Mimi's sleeping bag. "Here Sora." I handed it to her, my head hung low so she couldn't see my teary eyes.

"It'll be alright, Matt. I'll talk to her." Sora rubbed my shoulder and headed back.

I felt upset. In fact I felt miserable. "Mimi and I were doing so well..." I cried to myself. I opened a container of apple sauce and dug a spoon into it. Sitting there like a lazy bum was the old me. But that special girl named Mimi changed my personality, and now she hated me. Sora was very nice though. She'll talk to her... I kept thinking to myself. It made me feel a little better.

I sat behind the trees close to the campsite. I was really upset about Matt. He's just trying to be cool, I thought to myself. But if he really liked me he would at least TELL me if he gave me TK's harmonica instead of his! I scowled at him under my breath. Matt Ishida is nothing but a backstabber! And I thought we got along. Ha! Yeah right! I looked down at my shoes, ashamed at what I had just said. A hand suddenly rested on my shoulder. I whipped around and the person let go.

"It's just me, Mimi." Sora said in a soft tone.

"Oh... hi Sora." I looked back down at my shoes.

"Matt is-"

"I don't care about Matt!" I was lying to myself not only Sora.

"He misses you, you can tell..." Sora rested her hand back on my shoulder.

"No he doesn't! He's such a mean person! He gave me TK's harmonica!"

"Why would he give you any harmonica in the first place?"

"Well... he was just trying to be nice, okay?"

"Why would he want to be nice to you only?"

"Because I..." I really couldn't think of anything to say. I looked up at Sora. "Hey, you're right."

"He loves you Mimi. Tai just bugs him."

"Tai's such a jerk..."

A pause came from Sora. She didn't even say 'Yeah, I know' or 'He should be nicer' She just stood there. "You like Tai, don't you?" I looked up at her and noticed she was wiping her glossy eyes. "Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you!"

"No Mimi, you didn't." She sighed smiling through tears. "I do like Tai. But he doesn't even know I exist..." Sora turned away from me and stared straight ahead into the forest. "When I got that message from him, I thought he wanted to tell me well... something special..."

"...Like he loves you?" I finished.

"Yeah, like he loves me." She sighed. "It turned out all he wanted was to tell me about you and Matt last night. He told me all about how you two... were having such a good time. You looked like you were meant for each other."

"Tai really said that?"

"Yep. He thought that you two were wonderful. He liked the music too."

I looked down at my sneakers. I could feel my eyes sprouting tears. I smiled to myself. "I knew Matt wasn't bad." I heard a soft whimpering behind me. I looked back. Sora was crying softly.

"You know what?" I asked her wrapping my arms around her shoulders.

"What?" She replied sniffing.

"Tai likes you. You can tell you two are meant for each other."

Sora smiled at me. "Thanks Mimi, you're a good friend. And promise me... that you and Matt will make up." Sora looked at me confidently.

"I will but it will take a little bit of fighting!" I smiled. "And promise me that YOU will tell Tai what you feel about him before we leave this camp."

"I don't know if I could do it..."

"Sure you could! Just take your time." I smiled reassuringly.

"Thank you Mimi... now!" Sora got up confidently. "Go and talk with Matt!"

"Alright." I smiled and hugged Sora. What a great friend.

What do you think? Did it suck? Please review! I'm working on the next chap!
