She walked as she cried. Mimi knew Matt was very hard to miss, but when he
wanted to he could, make himself disappear it seemed, and then, remain like that for
days. She searched and inspected every known place she could think of.

She screamed "Matt!" at the top of her lungs but he never answered. She had decided to end her night by spending it at Sora's.

"Me and my stupid plan!" she screamed in her head. "You blew it, stupid! He loved you
and you blew it!" She had seen the look in his eyes, one of pain when she falsely told him
her and Izzy were planning to be married. He had taken off and been gone.

She wanted to see if he loved her by seeing how he would react.

She finally decided to head over to Sora's. She knocked on the door and was
warmly invited in as she put her head on her best friends shoulder and cried as she realized she had ruined everything.

He was devastated. He looked down at his chest, where his crest had been. He
remembered when Apocalymon had destroyed their crests and tags, which made them;
realize the power of the crests was inside of them. He remembered how he had felt that
he had gotten the crest of friendship as a fluke, until he realized he had real friends, the
Digi-destined.

He was sitting atop a building looking at the view from atop. He was thinking
only of her. He would not attend Izzy's and her wedding; just give them his blessing, than
leave back for America where he would spend a sad and lonely life.

His mind was clouded with the thought of her kissing him on the beach. If she loved Izzy, why had she been kissing him? Then it hit him: she wanted to make sure she didn't love him and not Izzy.

His eyes were sore from crying. He thought how Mimi and the others would probably be in shock if they saw the rebel loner who everyone before the digital world knew as Yomato Ishida, the outcast, crying. He had sat there for 5 hours and only now arose.

He would give Mimi his blessing and then he would be out of her life.

He knocked on Sora's door knowing Mimi would be there. He stood out in the darkness, until the door opened and there was Sora.

"Matt where have you been?" she interrogated him.

"Thinking." He stood there. "Look Sora, Mimi told me how her and Izzy are going to get married. Just tell her I wish them 'good luck'. Please."

He turned on his heel expecting her to close the door and that would be that.

"Don't you dare walk away, Matt!" she hollered.

He stopped in his tracks. "Why?"

"Because, Mimi isn't getting married to Izzy. Now get in there and talk to her,"
she demanded.

"Fine, but only to here what she has to say." He turned and walked back, through
the doorway. He walked to the living room where he found her sleeping on the couch with a blanket covering her. The blanket was blue on one side and green on the other. On the blue side was the crest of friendship's emblem and on the green side the crest of sincerity's.

He stared at for a minute or so and eventually Sora saw what he was looking at.

"She had it made when you left. She said that if it ever got to cold her love for
you would always keep her warm. And if you loved her back in turn keep her warmer and
she never be cold again." Sora told him.

"Sora, I love her so much. I loved since we first entered that world. Every time we
would talk, I felt complete. I still do. I just can't seem to know how to tell her." He said
as his voice began to quake and tears came flowing down.

Suddenly a voice that sounded as if it belonged to an angel was heard and all it
said was "you just did." Matt knew it was Mimi's voice without a doubt. No one could
imitate a voice that beautiful, that good.

Matt watched as she rolled over looking at him and she sat up smacking the couch
beside her motioning him to sit down. He did as she commanded.

"Why did you say you and Izzy are getting married if you aren't?" he asked her as she stared him in the eyes.

"Because, I knew I loved you but wasn't sure if you loved me back. So, I told you
I was marrying Izzy, because, I needed to see the feeling of love in your eyes." She put
her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around him as she cried. "But afterwards
I realized that if you truly loved me I wouldn't have to use a test. You probably think I'm
the same spoiled brat!"

He put his hand under her chin and lifted her head. He wiped a tear away and
lovingly whispered to her "I forgive you. Mimi, I love you, now please stop crying. Angels shouldn't cry."

With that said they kissed and embraced.

This time it wasn't just a kiss of passion.

It was a kiss of love.

A kiss of sincerity.

A kiss of friendship.

A kiss with promise for the future.
