Omoidasu

-Remember-

The Beginning

Yep, you guessed it! This is the edited and sort of longer or shorter version of Omoidasu. I added a lot of things but the old plot will still be visible so… enjoy!

"Lovely day isn't it?"

A bouquet of fresh pink roses came into the young woman's view. Giving off a soft generous smile, she stared off to the fields. Memories of people that she encountered within the past year flashed through her amber eyes. Innocent will be the first word to describe the girl in just one glance but after every event, no one that knew the girl would compare her with the said word anymore. She was in the belief that these was all inflicted on her because of what she did in her past life or maybe she neglected something that came to her way. No matter what it is, the girl was grateful that she made it through all her enemies alive.

"Yes."

It was probably the perfect day that she will ever see. It was the second week of spring and it was as if everything is starting a new path. They described this season, as "New Beginnings" and she believed that. There is no place that she wanted to be right now than here. Although she now lacked the will to walk in her own two feet, she still considered this to be the perfect world (or as close as being perfect). And for once in her life, the girl that encountered many heartbreaks, the girl that witnessed death of her beloved family, and the girl that faced many difficulties along her path is finally happy. She will not encounter the word loneliness anymore for he is here. The one who protected her, stood and never left her side, the one who promised to make her happy as long as she breathes, and the one who she will share the remainder of her life with.

"Hey."

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

This is really the time for New Beginnings. After all, when snow melts, it becomes spring.

Click. And the screen went black.

Crystal droplets rolled down as a small sob escaped her throat. Any human in their right mind would not cry over a show, especially if that show's rating is 4/10 but she is different. She didn't care if that series lacked almost anything, she didn't care if the graphics are as bad as a burnt cake and she certainly didn't care that it was filmed in just a single building and it was so obvious that they just changed the background using some computer program before showing it on air. No, this girl didn't care about one single thing. All she cared about is that the ending is better than her graphic-making skills.

"Ah! I knew they would end up together! I just knew it! THEY ARE PERFECT! Those bitches that liked him never stood a chance! He was totally, madly, head-over-heels in love with her! And now, they are going off to some unknown place to pursue their dreams and start a family of their own! Aaahh! It's so romantic!"

And that's Tachikawa Mimi for you.

"Mimi dear! Stop your shouting and pick up the phone! Your friend, Michael, is on the other line."

Mimi stopped doing her happy dance and shouted her thanks to her mother. Flopping down on her queen-sized bed, the "pink princess" picked up her fluffy pink cordless phone and said hello to her friend. Her fellow students describe her as beautiful, popular, and… beautiful. Girls crowd her and gush over her pretty outfits and other things while the guys practically worship the grounds she stands on. But no one really considered about getting to know the brunette for who she is and that's why she sometimes feels loneliness until Michael arrived in the scene. Sure she has made special friends here and there but they never did last for she was always taken away from them by her other friends.

Anyway, enough of Mimi's life for now. Let's just get back on to the story.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE WON?"

On the other end, Michael moved the phone, at arm's length, away from his ear and yet he still can hear his pretty friend talking. Yes, he did consider her pretty and he wouldn't deny it now (after telling her so many times) but that doesn't mean he likes her in that way (no matter how he sometimes think otherwise). Sighing, he started to move the communication device slowly towards him to avoid serious hearing injuries.

"I mean we won in that raffle that you (forcibly) entered me. You do remember it, do you?" Guessing that the silence from the girl is a yes, he continued. "Well, I just received a call and they said I won! And you're never going to guess what the prize is!"

Not really in the mood for one of her friend's guessing games, Mimi's clever reply was "What?"

"I won two ticket to Odaiba, Japan! And I'm going to take you with me. The tickets will be delivered to me tomorr—" And that is where it happened. All her senses has been blocked and all she can hear right now is what Michael said to her just seconds before. That's what made the guy realize to never give Mimi big news on the phone, so close to his ear.

Twenty blocks away, the bystanders heard a scream and Michael almost lost his sense to hear at that time.

"Please! Just give me a chance!"

On the other side of the world, there is a 16 year-old girl that is having an argument with her mother. It's not like unusual for them to argue, people may say that their argument is a weekly routine but this time, it seems to be longer.

"I just can't let you go to Odaiba by yourself!"

"I am very capable of handling myself! Plus, Yamato will be there…"

"I know but…" Suddenly, there was a small knock and the girl's grandmother came in, holding a telephone close to her stomach. She then addressed the phone to the senior of the two arguing ladies.

"Dear, Yamato's on the phone. I think he wants to talk to you about your daughter's visit."

After looking back and forth between her mother and her daughter, the super model finally gave a sigh of defeat and left the room while talking to her nephew. With all the problems solved, the elder looked back at her granddaughter with a smile adorned her face. "You better start packing now."

The only reply she got was a big smile.

Back at Odaiba, the oldest of the Yagami siblings received a call from one of his best friends... Tachikawa Mimi. She left a message on his answering machine, telling him to bring his van and that he should go to the airport at 01:00. It was an hour and 45 minutes later before the brown haired college senior arrived at his destination, thinking of why she wanted him to go here. He already though of a lot of reasons, like maybe she went back to Japan and wanted him to pick her up? But he immediately shrugged that off, thinking that she would call Sora, not him. But when someone called his name from a far, he finally got his answer. Yagami Taichi slowly turned around and saw a strawberry blonde haired girl with a bleached haired guy beside her was standing about a feet away from him. No matter how shocked he is, Taichi still managed to have a big smile on his face as he ran to his friends.

"MIMI!"

"I can't believe it! Look at you. Look at you! My baby has grown from a spoiled princess to gorgeous queen! I'm so proud!"

"Oh shut up Taichi!"

And as Michael stood there, he can't help but feel a sweat drop itching down his face. Apparently, the digidestined's leader was gushing over on how Mimi grew up while clobbering her at the same time. Yagami Taichi never ceases to amaze him. "Heh, I guess this is Yagami-san's way of showing how much he missed you huh?"

"Mimi, I have to tell you something..." Tai said in a very serious voice, which surprised the two teens.

"Talk about mood swings" the girl muttered to Michael who just shrugged.
