Joe awoke to the sounds of arguing. Tai had woken up, grouchy from a short night in a hard chair. He was now in a fighting with a flight attendant over what kind of breakfasts they had.
"I asked for cereal!"
"I gave you cereal." She answered calmly.
"But I got no milk!"
"We can't bring milk up here. It spoils."
"So you have cereal, but no milk."
"Yes."
"What kind of an airline are you?"
At this point, Matt and Sora jumped in and attempted to calm Tai down. Joe looked at his watch. 8:30. Most of the digidestined were already awake, although Davis was still sleeping, despite all the commotion going on behind him. Joe shook his head. Davis never was one for getting up early...
"Why do we have to visit Mimi anyway?" Tai asked grumpily, chewing on his dry, still milk-less cereal. "Why fly eleven children halfway across the world into an unfamiliar country when Mimi could just fly to Japan? We can't even speak English!"
"Supposedly Mimi has a big surprise for us," Sora said, and took a sip of her juice. "Must be important." Tai just scowled.
Kari smiled, looking at her brother between the seats. She turned toward TK. "He never was a morning person." She looked back at Tai. "Behave now, Tai." Tai grumbled.
"I hate airplane seats," Yolei rubbed her lower back. "How much longer?"
"Well, the plane trip is about fifteen hours," Ken said (A/N: I actually looked this up), "And we've been on here since nine last night. So that means we have just over three hours left." Yolei groaned and got up.
"Looks like Tai isn't the only one with cabin fever." Joe said to Izzy as Yolei walked past.
"I don't know why everyone is so uncomfortable. My seats are just fine." Izzy and his stuff were all sprawled out on the seats. He was playing a game on his laptop.
"Yeah, yeah..." He just had to rub it in, thought Joe.
Sora looked at Izzy enviously. Then she looked at who was occupying her extra seats. Tai and Matt were having a heated discussion over what they were going to do in New York.
"Where's Mimi going to keep us, anyway?" Sora cut in, "It's going to be kind of hard to keep all of us in a little New York apartment."
"She said she had it all taken care of," Matt pointed out.
"Yeah, but where? A hotel? They're expensive. I hope she didn't spend any money on us." Sora was worried.
"I'm sure she didn't, Sora." Comforted Tai. He had gotten over his bad mood now that he had eaten. "She probably has friends with extra room or something."
"Yeah. If she said she found somewhere and I'm sure she did. And knowing Mimi, it'll be nice," Said Matt. Sora smiled. Her friends somehow always had a way of putting an end to her doubts.
Davis stirred and groaned. "I had this horrible dream that I was stuck spending the night in an airplane." He opened his eyes. "Aaaahhh! It's true!" Kari and TK laughed, and soon Davis joined them. For a minute Kari thought it was just like the old times, when she and TK were just friends and before Davis claimed her as his. It was a good feeling, to be laughing together without the boys fighting. Unfortunately, it didn't last long.
"You better not have tried anything while I was asleep, T-Wee!"
" 'Wee' isn't even a letter, Davis!" TK objected.
"Wow, I'm impressed. I never guessed you would actually know your ABCs."
"Well you obviously don't. How do you think it goes, 'L, M, N, O, P, Wee?'"
"No! I know Wee isn't a letter!"
"Then why did you use it?"
"Why are you arguing about it?" said Kari, exasperated.
"Yes!" Izzy leaned back, triumphant. "Take a look at this, Joe."
Joe read the Japanese scrawls on Izzy's computer. "The President of the United States is going to take a trip to Alaska?"
"Who cares? I just translated a whole newspaper article from English to Japanese!"
"Somebody has a little to much time on their hands."
"I think it's great, Izzy." Ken had turned around. "I don't think I could do that so fast."
"Well, it was quite simple after I finished writing a program to do the translating for me."
"Oh, let me see!" Ken got up and managed to squeeze into the extra seat after Izzy pushed all his stuff over.
"Isn't this great? Now Mimi can email us with her English computer and we can read it in Japanese!"
"It's amazing! How did you do it?" Izzy went on explaining how it was done and Joe turned his attention to the movie (it was in Japanese this time), left out.
Cody stretched. "I am going to be so stiff. I don't see why I couldn't bring my Kendo stick. It would've loosened me up."
"We couldn't bring it because it was considered a weapon." Yolei reminded him, "We can't bring weapons on the plane. And we didn't want to check any luggage because it takes too long to get it back. The last thing you want to do after a plane ride is wait for luggage."
"Yeah, but we had to travel really light so our bags would fit in the overhead compartments. Was it really worth it?" Yolei shrugged.
"Yes!" Tai appeared out of nowhere.
"How?"
"How what?"
"How is it worth it?"
"Oh. I don't even know what you're talking about. I just heard you ask a question, and I answered it." Tai walked back to his seat.
"Do you think he plans to do things like that?"
"Tai, were you bothering them?" Sora asked as Tai sat down.
"No."
"Uh huh."
"I wasn't!"
"Yes he was." Yolei called from her seat.
"Tai! You shouldn't butt in to people's conversations." Sora continued to lecture Tai, and Cody and Yolei hid their giggles behind their hands.
"Better pack up boys," Kari looked at her watch, "We'll be there soon."
"Hallelujah!" Said Tai behind her. He put his things away and was ready to go in two seconds flat, like a brown tornado of hair. Matt and Sora stared.
"What? I want to got out of here."
The flight had a bumpy landing, but Joe managed to keep his breakfast down. Kari stood in front of Tai to keep him from pushing the other passengers over like dominos. They finally made it out.
"Look! It's Mimi!" Sora ran to embrace her friend.
"Where are we staying, Mimi?" asked Matt.
"Well thanks for saying hi!" said Mimi. "But it's a surprise."
"Give me a hint." They walked to Mimi's car.
"No."
"Please?"
"No!" Matt was too busy arguing with Mimi that he didn't notice that they were getting into a limo...
Well, that's the end. I am making a sequel, though. Please review!
