Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, but I do own this fic!
Author's Note: (10272002) [edit] I was going to continue this fic on October, but I spent some time thinking about what I should put into the fic. I haven't written any fics in a month or two, so we'll see how everything goes. If you haven't read Welkin, you might have to read it to figure out what the characters are talking about from the past. There might be a touch of drama, for you non-soap opera fans. XD Anyways, this note is too formal, so enjoy the fic! I will try to follow Welkin with this. (Rating might change if the story becomes too intense.) ~12262002

Chapter 01
Scenes of large buildings passed through the window of a taxi cab. A young woman at the age of nineteen looked longingly at the crowds of people that she passed by. Her light brown hair flowed slightly under her pink cowboy hat as a warm summer breeze flowed through a slightly opened window. She sighed in relief at the sight of the town again, her amber eyes shining up to all the familiar places she had once grown to be familiar with. At the passing of a gated academy (locked up for the summer), the cab driver drove on for another twenty miles. He stopped in front of a large apartment complex, where another across the street was identical.
Going up a couple of floors, she came upon an apartment door and rang the door bell. A woman with greying hair opened the door and looked at the her in disbelief. "Hmm.. May I ask who you are?"
"Konnichi wa, Mrs. Takenouchi. Watashi no namae wa Tachikawa Mimi." the visitor replied bowing politely. "Is Takenouchi Sora around?"
"Iie, she's out on her own business. She hasn't informed me of when she will be returning. Gomen nasai." Mrs. Takenouchi replied.
"Oh, that's okay! I will be groing around town to see if I can find any of my old friends. I will be around all summer until I return to college, so I will be in Odaiba for a while." Mimi replied. "Arigatou, Mrs. Takenouchi!"
"Ja matta." she closed the door quietly. Mimi quickly left the apartment complex.
"I guess I can try to figure out if Matt and the others are home. Yamato-kun.." Mimi sighed dreamily as she looked up at the bright blue sky. "I wonder if anything has changed since I went to high school here. The academy still looks about the same."
Mimi walked gleefully past the busy streets of Odaiba, cherishing the familiar views and friendly faces that she saw. "Hmm, I guess the park is a good place to go to. Besides, I've got a lot of time to waste before I should head back to Sora's. I'm not even sure when she'll come back home.. Her mother didn't even tell me. This is a little frustrating, not knowing where everyone is. I feel a little left-out since I haven't seen a familiar face besides Mrs. Takenouchi. I wonder where everyone is.. Ohh, I wish I knew where everyone was! Walking around is making me dizzy. Something should hap -- ahh!"
Lost in her thought, Mimi didn't notice the person that she had collided with. A camera and hair brush fell out of her purse upon impact. Her pink cowgirl hat fell to her side. The unfortunate person she accidentally ran into dropped a guitar case. The person swore silently at the impact of the case falling to the ground.
"Iie, gomen nasai!" she gasped apologetically. She gathered the brush and camera into her purse. As she was reaching for her hat, both of their hands brushed each others'. The two looked up in a deep blush, looking at each other, they froze in disbelief.
"M.. Mimi-chan?" the person asked, taking the hat and giving her a hand up.
Mimi took the guitar case in her hands and stared deeper into the eyes of her acquaintance. "Nehh-- Yamato?"
His deep azure eyes softened, "W-What are you doing here, Mimi-chan?"
'What type of question is that? Thanks for the nice welcome.' Mimi cocked an eyebrow and replied, "It's summer; I came from college."
"Of course!" Matt gave out a laugh in embarassment. Noticing that Mimi had a slight frown on her face, he put out his hand holding her hat. "You dropped this?"
"Oh, thanks. Here's your.. guitar." she said slowly. She gave a wide smile and grabbed him by the arm, hugging it. "I've missed you so much! Can you believe that it's been three years that I haven't seen you.. again!? So many things have changed. I didn't even notice that it was you with that hat on! You're hiding your blonde hair with it on."
"That's interesting." he replied turning away from her. "Mimi, I have to go. I'm really busy today."
"Yamato-kun, it's summer. What could you be busy with?" she asked blinking at him questioningly. "You should be out having fun!"
He took a couple strides and held up his guitar case. "I've got practice, remember?"
She ran up to him to catch up. "Is it okay if I come along? I mean, since I just got here, you wouldn't mind if I just watched you with you play your band? Besides, I didn't know you had practice. I haven't heard from you guys in years."
"I.. guess you can come along." Matt replied in a dejected tone, giving up to her pleads.
"Thanks, Matt! You're the best!"
---------------------------------------------
A/N: :) Mimi's a little jumpy (as am I), but she's really excited to be back in Odaiba (as am I, writing the sequel). The story will even out in the next couple chapters, so if you think this intro is strange, in my writing, usually the best is saved for last. Chapter 2, I'm working on immediately after I finish this, so there will be prompt updates since I have nothing else to do this winter break. Happy Holidays! 12/26/2002
