A/N: This is my first FanFic, so please be nice!
Disclaimer: I don't own digimon!
I sat close to Michael, leaning my head against his shoulder. We had only been dating for a few months, but I knew his moods. He was distant from me at the moment. We had finished our dinner at digitamamon's restaurant. We could only meet in the digital world for our dates, so we came here a lot. He was staring at something, so I followed his gaze; he was looking at Mimi. Mimi usually came too when we were on a date, since she was seeing Tai. We did a lot of double dates, which at first I didn't mind, but was starting to. I wanted alone time with Michael. Lately, it seemed like I had to share my boyfriend with Mimi. I loved Mimi, and it was nice to see her regularly. It was just that Michael was mine. The weird part was that Mimi kept looking at Michael. She usually focused on Tai, but not that day. I felt like I was on the outside of some secret, and I thought Tai felt that way too.
It had been 4 years since we defeated Malomyotismon, and I happened to see Michael by accident in the digital world. I made a joke how he had asked me out on a date back then. We started dating. I really liked Michael, but I could tell it wasn't the same as before, when we first started dating. I was beginning to think he only started dating me to keep his word. Michael was super nice and I loved spending time with him, but not when he was like this.
Mimi and Tai got up to leave. At first, it looked like Michael wanted to follow them, then he stopped and turned to me. He kissed the top of my head and wrapped his arm around my waist. This was the Michael I liked. I snuggled against him, smiling. There was a weird feeling in the back of my mind that I couldn't get rid of. Why was his smile bigger when he looked at Mimi than when he looked at me?
My thoughts were interrupted by Tai storming into the restaurant. He grabbed his coat and looked at me. "Yolei, we're leaving, let's leave the lovers by themselves." I looked at Michael and shrugged. "I should go," I said, running after Tai who didn't wait for me. Michael kissed my cheek and watched me leave. However, I noticed his eyes focused on Mimi when I left the restaurant.
We were at the TV that would bring us back to the real world. We landed in Tai's room, from where we left. "Tai, what's wrong?" He didn't answer me and shoved me out of his room and slammed the door. I wandered over to Kari's room, figuring I should tell her something about her brother's state. The door was closed, so I knocked first.
"Come in." I opened the door and found her with TK.
"I'm not interrupting, anything, am I?"
Kari smiled on seeing me, but TK clearly didn't feel the same way. "No, nothing important, what's up?"
"It's Tai, he's really upset. I don't know what happened; he just demanded we come home. I figured you'd know better than I do what to do. I think Mimi might have broken up with him, but I'm not sure." Kari nodded at me, her face tight with worry. TK looked less upset at me. "I better be getting home."
"Thanks for telling me, Yolei, I'll let you know as soon as I find out." I left the apartment and walked the way home, which I knew well. In my room, I found my D-Terminal beeping at me. It had an email from Michael, telling me we needed to talk.
I was scared to talk to Michael. I knew we should talk as soon as possible, but getting a message like that never ends well. I spent extra time getting ready, trying to look as nice as possible, hoping that might change Michael's mind. I was getting ready to go to the digital world, by myself. I hardly ever went to the digital world by myself. I decided to bring Poromon with me, even though he usually didn't come with me on dates. I thought I'd feel better if I wasn't completely alone. "Digiport open," I said, flying through the computer screen. My clothes changed into the ones I usually wore here. They weren't the same as the first ones I had when I first came here. With my changing figure came new clothes. My hair and make up stayed the same. I suddenly realized I probably looked like a clown with all this make up on. I tried to take some off, but it just streaked and looked all distorted. I admitted I should have left it alone to myself. There was nothing I could do now, I didn't have any make up with me, and Michael had seen me.
He laughed when he saw me, "Is that a new look in Japan? If not, you could definitely start one." I gave him a nasty look, which stopped his chuckles. "Let's go for a walk," he suggested. I followed him, wanting him to get to the point and not drag this out anymore than he had to. Hawkmon followed us. The digimon wasn't sure why I brought him here, but was glad he could come.
After wandering around for ten minutes, Michael finally started to talk. "You know, Yolei, you're a very nice girl. I've enjoyed our time together, it's just that, I don't really think of you as my girlfriend. I think of you more as just a friend. I hope we can remain friends, but that's all I want to be, just friends." He paused and looked at me; my eyes were watering. "I'm sorry Yolei, but in truth, my heart belongs to someone else. I'm sure you'll find someone great." He kissed my forehead. I started crying and ran away. My mind raced along with my feet. Where's that TV? I need to get out of here! Hawkmon took the lead and I followed him, hoping he knew what I was looking for. We found a television and left the digital world happily.
I spent the rest of the day in bed, glad it was a Saturday. I usually had Saturdays off from working at my family's store and I had that luxury. I decided to do the same the next day, but was kept from my comfort by Kari. She originally came over to tell me what was wrong with her brother, but spend that time instead discussing my problems.
"He broke up with you? I thought everything was going so well!"
"He said his heart belonged to someone else, said he only thought of me has a friend."
"Oh, Yolei, I'm so sorry." Kari gave me a big hug. "Why don't you get cleaned up, and then we'll go out. We'll see tons of guys who are all a lot cuter than Michael."
I smiled weakly at Kari, knowing how out of character it is to suggest going out. She was just never the party girl. It made me really happy to know that she would do something she didn't enjoy, just to cheer me up. "Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not in the mood."
"Then let's have a night in, with all the digidestined. We'll watch a movie, or something."
I liked this idea better, but added to her suggestion, "Can it just be a girl's night? I'm not sure if I want to deal with boys." Kari bit her lip. She always did that when she's hiding something. "What's wrong with that, Kari?"
"Well, I kind of told TK that we'd be spending sometime with him, tonight."
I smiled at her; at least someone was having luck with guys. "Okay, we can TK over."
She grinned widely back at me. "I'll invite him, and Sora, you go shower and get changed."
When I came out of the shower, changed, I found all of the younger digidestined, along with Sora in my living room. "I said just TK and Sora, what's this?" I yelled at Kari.
"Well, TK didn't want to be the only guy, so he asked Davis to come. Ken was with Davis at the time, so he invited Ken too. Then, Cody saw TK coming over, so he came up too."
I stormed to my room, refusing to see all these people when I was in such a bad mood. I heard Kari order Ken and Davis to come get me.
There was a knock at my door. "Let us in, if you don't, we'll knock down the door," Davis yelled. I thought for a moment, considering my options. Davis and Ken both played soccer, so they probably could if they wanted to. "I'm counting to ten," the goggle boy continued, "One…two…"
I opened the door before he got to three. The boys grabbed me and dragged me o the living room.
"What are we celebrating, Yolei?" Cody asked. I tried to leave again, but the hands on my arms prevented that.
"Michael broke up with Yolei," Kari announced. I blushed with embarrassment.
Everyone cooed, trying to make me feel better. I was forced into the middle of the couch, between Sora and Kari who both hugged me. TK went to the TV to put in a movie. It was some action flick, that I didn't remember an hour later. Cody lay on the floor. TK sat near Kari. Davis sat on the floor, always cheering for the good guy. Ken rolled his eyes every time Davis did this.
By the time the movie was over my parents were back from the store. My older siblings had moved away by now. All of my friends left after greeting my family. Sora and Kari gave me a hug and hoped I'd feel better.
