Finally I get to type the 5th chapter, sorry for the delays in updates but I was busy with a lot of things like homework and the like. Another reason is that my stupid ass internet connection won't work so I can't upload new chappies. Again sorry for the wait I hope that this chapter is at least worth some of it.
Enough about my apologies and get this story continued.
Disclaimer: I don't own the people in this story and even though I would love to I'll never will.
Chapter 5: "The Letter"
The rest of the night was spent pigging out and laughing. Even though all of them are of the legal age to drink alcohol, maybe except Cody, they decided not to. Tai said that alcohol will not do good things to athletes. They all went home late at night at about 12:00 p.m. This may seem early to normal people but most of them got something to do the next day.
(AN: 'sighs' nothing comes out from my imagination department okay, bear with it.)
Sora woke up with her ears still ringing. The party last night, though not supposed to be loud, really takes a toll to someone's ears especially when you have Tai, Davis and Takuya together. She rubbed her eyes and groggily stood up.
"Owie, next time we have a party like that I should remind myself to put duct tape on Tai's mouth."
She went to her bathroom to take a shower and do the rest of her morning routine, when she was done she entered her room again, now completely dressed for her tennis practice. She glanced on her clock expecting that it is 7:00 a.m. but no, she saw that it was already 10:30 a.m."
"Oh shoot I have tennis practice at 11:15!" Sora mentally cursed herself.
She made her way towards the kitchen to grab a quick brunch.
"The place is quiet I bet those two won't be waking up till 2:00." She giggled because she knows that the two guys that she is living with will only wake up early if Diaboromon attack again.
"I wonder where Kari and Tk are, maybe they are still sleeping."
Tk and Kari have been staying with them in the apartment for the past few days, to the relief of Sora. She can finally spend some time with a fellow female.
'If only Meems was here, I don't have to spend every waking moment babysitting two overgrown babies.' She thought to herself then she glanced at the living room clock.
"It's almost 10:40, better hurry up."
Sora was about to go to the fridge when she noticed that someone was near the stove. It was clear to her that that someone was cooking something because she can smell sausages and eggs cooking. Sora knew that there is only one person that will cook an American breakfast in the apartment.
"Matt? I'm surprised you're awake already." Sora said while inspecting his cooking.
"Oh hi Sor. Well I woke up at 10 and was suppose to go back to sleep but I decided not to, so here I am." Matt smiled and leaned down expecting for a morning kiss from his girlfriend but she didn't kiss him. That really surprised him, but he just shook it off.
"That's an improvement, I'm proud of you." She giggled.
"You should be," He chuckled "Now just sit down on the table and I'll serve breakfast err brunch ok?"
She nodded then she noticed a note hanging on the fridge. She stood up again and grabbed the note.
"Uh Matt just put my food on the table ok? I have to wake Tai up; this note says that he has a meeting with the dean today at 11:30." She said as she made her way out of the kitchen.
"Don't worry he's already awake." A different voice answered her.
"Huh?" She turned around as saw Tai at the front door already dressed and carrying today's newspaper and mail.
"Yeah he's awake, I accidentally woke him up." Matt scratched his head.
"When I was about to go to the kitchen I tripped on some thing and hit Tai's door. Our courageous leader, who thought that it was a digimon attacking, got startled and fell off the bed."
"I didn't fell off the bed." Tai said defensively.
"Oh yeah? Then what was that thudding noise I heard." Matt pointed out.
Tai turned red with embarrassment "Fine but it is because of you gracefully tripping on the mop."
"Whatever." Matt said equally embarrassed.
Sora just rolled her eyes "So where are Tk and Kari?"
"They left early, they left a note that they got called back to Shinjuku for a meeting, I think it's about their grades or something." Tai answered.
"What do you think is wrong? Those two are at the top of their classes." She asked again.
"Who knows." Tai shrugged while sorting the mail. "Let's see what we have here: junk, junk, Matt, junk, junk, mine, junk, junk, junk, Sora, junk, junk and bills."
"Who sent mine?" Matt asked then drank his juice.
"The manager." Tai answered.
"Oh, then just throw it away." Matt said.
"Yeah huh." Tai replied.
"What about yours?" Sora asked Tai.
"Um maybe it's just about the meeting today. These mails are actually from last week, I forgot to take them out." Tai grinned then sat down to eat.
"So where's mine? I heard you say my name when you were sorting the mail." Sora asked.
"I did? Well let me see." Tai inspect the junk pile and took out a pink envelope.
"Whoops I think I put it in the wrong pile."
"Oh just give it to me." Sora said while reaching out to get the letter.
"Who would send a letter in a really, and I mean really, pink envelope." Tai asked.
"I think I have a good idea who." Matt answered thinking about a certain someone.
Sora read the return address on the envelope "It's from America! It's from Mimi!" she squealed.
"Mimi? We haven't heard from her for a while now." Tai said.
Sora opened the letter and began to read aloud.
Dear Sora
Hey girl, it's been a long time since I wrote to you and I really felt bad about that. I've been busy you see, with college and all. That is the reason why I haven't had the time to call you guys there. Guess what; now that I have graduated I'm planning on starting my career there in Japan. I don't have relatives there anymore and the fact that I haven't been there for almost 7 years I would like to ask a favor from you. Will you pick me up at the airport on March 27, that would be Saturday there I think, at exactly 11:30 a.m.? I'm really excited on coming back, I really missed you Sora and all the others. Oh my God, even I can't imagine what it would feel like to actually comeback to a place I haven't seen for almost a decade. You know I can go on forever to tell you how excited I am but I won't make this longer than it already is so see you when I see you Sor.
Your best friend
Mimi
"OH MY GOD SHE'S COMING BACK!" Sora yelled.
Matt looked like he is about to die right then and there. His most feared nightmare is happening, she is coming back. The bossy, bratty, and noisy princess is coming back, good thing he can maintain his cool.
"Mimi's coming back, huh? This is going to be a fun summer." Tai grinned.
"March 27… hmm" Matt said then looked at his wrist watch "Holy shit, she's coming today!"
"What?" Tai glanced at the calendar near the bathroom door "She is coming today! Sora what did she say again to pick her up?"
Sora became wide eyed as she looked at her watch "She is going to arrive at exactly 27 minutes! What are we supposed to do? I have tennis practice in a few minutes; actually I have to be going now. Please you guys think of something to pick her up on time, if she is still the Mimi I know in the digital world she's going to be pissed; besides it's her first day in Japan for a long time now, so make it count. I'll to cancel the practice when I get there so I'll be able to hang out with her later, see you."
The two males just followed her with their gaze while she was babbling, thinking of some way to solve this problem.
Sora ran out the door seeing that she was going to be late for her practice.
"So what now?" Matt asked Tai.
"Well I have a meeting on the same time that she is supposed to arrive, that means I can't go. No choice my friend it's up to you." Tai said while patting Matt's back.
"Oh hell no. I'm not going to pick up that brat of a princess from the airport." Matt refused.
"Well we don't have a choice do we? It's either YOU pick Mimi up in a nice, welcoming way or Sora picks her up and we'll both have extremely fuming females right on our tails." Tai explained.
"Why would Sora be mad if we don't her up on time?" Matt asked.
"You idiot, Mimi was and still is Sora's best friend, and if you think about it Sora will definitely have our heads if we didn't do what she said."
"Can't YOU cancel your meeting?"
"Nope."
"Please, I'm begging you; you're my best friend right?"
"Yeah."
"So you pick her up."
"I said that you are my best friend but Sora is the commander around here, don't forget what she can do when she is pissed, add Mimi to that and we're dead." Tai explained as he walked to the front door getting ready to leave.
"See you later Mattie Boy." Tai bellowed then shut the door.
'I can't believe this.' Matt thought to himself.
Meanwhile…
"This is you're captain speaking, we are now going to land at Odaiba airport." The intercom announced to the passengers.
"After years of not coming here, I wonder how the DDs are doing now. I hope that Sora got my letter." Mimi said to no one in particular.
"Fasten your seatbelts please; we are going to descend now." The intercom once again announced.
"Ok here I go, back to Japan at last."
At the airport…
Matt finally arrived at the airport with a few minutes to spare. He was wearing an unbuttoned light blue shirt over a white t-shirt, denim pants and a pair of sunglasses (He needs to blend in with the crowd if he doesn't want to get trampled over). He was fidgeting as he stood at the waiting area near the coffee shop.
"If I get my cover blown in this area I'll be dead for sure." Matt whispered to himself as he was looking around and seeing a lot of females checking out his band posters around the vicinity of the airport.
'Where is that damn girl? Seriously, if I have been forced into doing this I could be sitting at home and watching a game or movies or something but no I have to pick her up and she's not even here yet."
(AN: Sorry for making Matt all whiny, I know he is not suppose to be but yeah I need him to be whiny right now.)
Meanwhile…
"Oh my gosh I'm really back!" Mimi squealed as she left the plane "Now all I have to do is look for Sora and we can make plans on my vacation here."
She started to look around the waiting area but didn't find Sora there.
"Maybe she's around there." Mimi said to no one in particular.
She carried her bags (actually dragged them) over to the tables near the coffee shop.
'I think I should someone in there. Sora is really popular now since she won the gold in last year's Olympics, maybe someone would have seen her around.' She thought to herself. "Maybe I'll asked that guy over there"
Back to Matt…
Matt waited impatiently for his query to arrive. After a few minutes he got bored and decided to buy something from the coffee shop. The shop wasn't really special in anyway, it was just a shop full of foreign people and drinks.
'Those girls are not half bad.' Matt smirked as he checked out the foreign girls drinking their coffee on a table in the corner of the shop.
He bought himself some coffee and sat down on one of the tables near the entrance of the shop.
'Let her look for me, I'm not going to stand there all day trying to spot her.' He thought to himself.
He was drinking his coffee peacefully when he felt someone tapping on his back.
"Excuse me mister have you seen a red haired girl about my age around." A girl with long brown hair wearing a pair of sunglasses asked Matt
"Uh no, not really." He replied.
'Whoa this is some girl, I wonder if she is a celebrity or something?' Matt thought while checking the girl who asked him.
"Really? Well thanks anyway maybe I'd just call her." She said while starting to walk away.
"Uh wait, can I ask you something too?" Matt stopped the girl. "Did you arrive from America?"
"Yes, why?"
"Well I'm actually sent here by a friend of mine to pick up this girl who was supposed to arrive from America at this time. I'm just wondering if you this girl."
"I'll try to help, what is she like?"
Matt mentally cursed himself; he agreed to pick Mimi up without even knowing what she looks like. 'Knowing her she probably has a different look every week, talk about shape shifting.'
"Well um, all I know is that she has long hair, brown eyes, a large probability of wearing pink, bratty, noisy, has a high pitch and pretty annoying voice, loud, talkative, likes carrying a ton of stuff like makeup and all that girly stuff, and that her name is Mimi Tachikawa."
The girl looks pretty annoyed after Matt described Mimi, her hands turned into white knuckles.
(AN: I guess you know who the girl is now right?)
"Oh and what is your name?" The girl asked.
"Matt." He said coolly. "So do you know her?"
The girl became wide eyed and mentally cursed herself then she took off her sunglasses.
"YOU!" They both said in unison. Matt yelled it out of surprise while Mimi yelled it out of anger.
"How dare you talk to me like that Ishida?"
Almost every female that is in a half a mile radius turned their head towards them when they heard the name Ishida. Most of them are whispering 'Is that Matt Ishida, from the DGdestiny?', 'That's really him, he is soooo hot' and 'who is that girl with him?'
"Whoa sorry Meems, I didn't know it was you and besides I …"
"So you mean that you talk about people like that when they're not I front of you? Seriously Matt, at first I really thought that you were a jerk when I first met you but now you give jerk a whole new meaning!"
"Now I'm a jerk? Look Tachikawa I was only telling the truth. There is nothing wrong with telling people the truth right, Ms. Sincerity."
All the people, well mostly guys turned their attention at the coffee shop once they heard the name Tachikawa. Mimi has been really popular in America during her college years and is still is, she has been modeling for a huge clothes company and has her face plastered in almost all the American magazines. That means she has became popular in Japan too, thing is Matt and Tai are into the "Macho" thing to even look at girl's magazines.
"Why I ought to…"
"What are you going to do? Break my neck? That is what you always say."
"Jerk!"
"Bitch!"
"Moron!"
"Ditz!"
Everyone is now watching the spectacle in the airport. People had already formed a circle around the pair, quite amused watching a famous rock star and a well known super model having a staring contest.
'How dare she call me a moron, she is the moron around here.'
'Sora how could you do this to me?' she thought 'If you were just going to sent somebody to pick me up, you could have sent Joe or Tai, but noooo you have to send Mr. Airhead here.'
At the airport parking lot…
"I hope those two are still in there or else my canceling of practice will be for nothing." Sora said to herself while getting out of her red sports car.
"Don't worry they're still in there, I spotted Matt's car over there. Why? Surprised to see me?" Tai said.
"Wow Tai what's up with you popping out of nowhere today and why are you here I thought that you have a meeting right now?"
"Well, all the dean was talking about was me coaching the baseball team, so I just told him that first, I don't know anything about baseball. Second one of my close friends is arriving from America. Finally I told him that my job there is over for the time being and I'm looking forward on the spending time with my best friends." Tai smiled "So? Let's go? I have a hunch that those two are killing each other right now."
"Killing each other?"
"Just a hunch."
He smiled again then extended his hand to her.
Sora giggled as she took his hand "Yeah probably knowing Mimi, she would have by now."
A few minutes later they entered the waiting area of the airport. It didn't took them long to notice a crowd of people forming a circle near the coffee shop and hear two familiar voices shouting at each other.
"Excuse us please."
"Yeah coming through."
When Tai and Sora got through the people they saw their two friends glaring at each other. Well Mimi glaring at Matt most of the time actually. They both took their own sunglasses off to meet their friends but they heard the people murmuring 'Wow isn't that Tai Kamiya? The coach of the Odaiba tigers?' and 'Wow the Olympic gold medalist Sora Takenouchi!' They both shook the embarrassment off and greeted their friends.
"MIMI!"
"SORA!"
The two girls squealed in unison and hugged each other.
"Oh thank God you two arrived I thought that… wait two? Tai what are you doing here? I thought you had a meeting." Matt asked.
"Well yeah but I canceled it so that I can greet Mimi." Tai grinned.
"Oh my God I missed you Meems. Welcome back to Japan!" Sora squeaked.
"I'm glad to be back!" Mimi answered.
"Hey Mimi! You didn't forget about me did you?" Tai said.
"Taichi!" Mimi squeaked as she jumped on Tai.
"Hey easy there." Tai chuckled. "I missed you too."
Sora felt something weird when Tai hugged Mimi. 'What was that?' she thought but then again maybe she was just excited of Mimi coming back, so she just shook it off.
"So how was the flight?" Sora asked.
"Well it went pretty well and my arrival would have been perfect if you didn't send that THING over there." Mimi said while pointing at Matt.
"Thing!" He retorted "Why you brat."
Tai was holding Matt still to avoid starting a fight again, same goes for Sora.
"I am not a brat."
"Now, now you two please not here, can't you people staring at us?" Sora said trying to hold Mimi at bay.
Matt and Mimi quickly took a glance around them. Sora was right a lot of people were watching them. Both of them turned red from embarrassment but shook it off and then they returned to normal composure, though still glaring at each other.
"Like I said, this is going to be a fun summer." Tai grinned at Sora.
