Saturday

Izzy was going home after a day of shopping for new computer parts. He had a gift certificate his parents gave him for his graduation last month though he never thought he would use it. He had had nothing else to do that day, he decided to go and see if there were any parts he wanted to get. Izzy was walking home and took a shortcut through the park when he heard a familiar voice.
"Hey Izzy!" said Tai running towards him, when Izzy barely noticed him.

"Hey Tai, what's going on?" He replied, slowing down his pace so Tai could catch with him. Tai was out of breath when he finally reached him. It was around three when he talked to him.
"Izzy, man, long time no see?" said Tai though they had been keeping in touch ever since they graduated. After that day, the original digi- destined still talked with each other though all of them (except Joe who's barely finishing his first year) were preparing to go to college.

"Yeah, I guess. It was only last month yet it does feel like a long time doesn't it?" Izzy replied and gave a loud sigh. "So Tai what's up, what you need me for?" he asked. Tai looked at him puzzled as if he didn't know what he's going to tell him. "Hey have you heard the news?" Tai asked. Izzy looked puzzled when he told him that. "What news Tai?" he quickly replied. Tai was now the one puzzled, telling him "Man you have spent time on your computer ever since have you?" Izzy look down not wanting to answer him. Tai took that as a yes. "Well knowing you Izz, I though I'd tell you first." "Mimi is leaving for New York next week."

Izzy was shocked when he hear that. His first question was "What day next week?" Tai was trying to get the day though he didn't know it. Izzy told him while he was doing that "Tai what day is Mimi leaving?" Tai gave a response "I don't know the day but I do know the date for sure." "She's leaving on the 12th Izz."

Izzy was freaking out when Tai told him. He checked his watch to see what today's date is was. August 5th, it read but he still couldn't believe it. "Tai, that's next Saturday!" Izzy said in a surprised tone. Tai told him "Oh yeah, now I remember." "I came to tell you that, though I called your house first and your mom said you went to the store." "Anyway I though I tell you that before anyone else did." "Also..." He added with curious look "Were gonna throw a going away party for her before she leaves and to see if you want to go." "Its going to be at my place at 8:00 this Friday so don't forget Izz." Izzy looked embarrassed when Tai told him that. "I won't Tai, I'll make sure of it." he said to him. "Well, write, I mean type it down or something so you won't okay?" Tai told him with a humorous tone." "Hey!" Izzy quickly answered him while he was laughing. After the laughter died down, he looked at his watch to see the time. "Hey Izzy what time do you have?" Izzy looked at his and said "Its 3:20 in the afternoon, Tai." Tai said after he asked him, "Yeah, same here." "Well Izz, I'll see you later. I have to go and pick up Kari's camera from the store. She had broken it while trying to take a picture of the view from our house and it slip out of her hands." Izzy told him. "Oh okay, well catch you later Tai." He started walking away. "Later Izzy, remember my house at 8 this Friday okay?" Tai said when he was barely starting to run. Izzy laughed saying "Ok, I'll be there, bye." "Bye!" Tai replied. He was soon out of Izzy's sight. Izzy was thinking to himself while he was coming to his front door, "Mimi, Why now? Why?"..... It all stop when he went inside. Izzy went to the kitchen for a soda when there he saw a note from his mom on the fridge. It said,

"Izzy, listen me and your dad went out today. There's some money for pizza and a new case of sodas in the fridge if you want to eat. We'll be back around 1:00 am."
Love, Mom.

Izzy smiled when he read that line of the note. He opened the fridge and grabbed a Pepsi from there. He decided that he should invite someone over so at least he wouldn't be alone when he ate but he couldn't choose who so he decided not to. Izzy took a sip of the soda and went to the phone and he was about to call for his pizza but he stopped when he heard a knock on the door. He went to open it and it was Matt and T.K.

"Hey, Matt, hey T.K.." Izzy said "Yo, Izzy how's it going?" Matt replied "Hey, Iz. What took you so long?" T.K. said jokingly. He let them in and all of them were in the living room and went to get them some sodas. Izzy told them that he was going to order a pizza when they came. Matt asked "Well what are you waiting for? Let's go." Izzy laughed at that comment. T.K. replied "Don't forget about me to, Matt." "Right.." Matt said while he laughed. Anyway we came by to see if you heard the news." "Yeah I have. Tai told me earlier when I was coming from the store." "I see..." Matt said almost immediately Izzy became depressed when he said that. "Why now Matt? After all we've been through...." Matt looked at him. "Hey Iz, you know we have no control over such matters, you know that. Its faith that's one thing we can't control it so we take it as its coming to us." Matt drank his last of his soda when T.K. came back from the bathroom. "Hey Izzy, why not we go and get something to eat instead?" "It's not that far to get something and the walk will do you some good." T.K. was agreeing with him by nodding. Izzy thought "Why not at least your with friends and your not alone.." He finally said "Okay, I'll go." "Excellent" Matt said and all were heading through the door. Izzy got his keys and locked the door and caught up with the brothers at the stairs. All he thought before they headed down was Mimi............
