Disclaimer: I don't own digimon!

The Digidestined took turns cheering up Tai and me. I was right about him. Mimi did break up with him. Mimi said that she liked someone else more, but that he was taken. She didn't mean to hurt Tai, but she needed to follow her heart. After discussion amongst us, we figured that Mimi and Michael liked each other. This was based on my observations of Michael right before we broke up. Mimi was left out of these discussions, because she was in America. Sora did go to visit Mimi in the digital world, but she didn't say what Mimi's take on the story was.

Today, I was spending time with Izzy, helping him update the computers in the computer lab at the school where we went to the digital world all the time before. He and Mimi were the only ones of the older Digidestined that hadn't been away at university the year before. They had both finished their senior year of high school. It was currently summer so all of the older Digidestined had come home, usually working jobs. Poromon and Tentomon were helping us work by eating food from my convenience store in the corner. It had been one week since the break up with Michael. I usually hung out with Kari and TK after school. I was starting to annoy TK. I could tell he wanted alone time with her. I decided to help Izzy so I could stop feeling like a third wheel.

We had worked in silence all morning and were breaking for lunch. I couldn't stand the quiet anymore. "So, Izzy, what do you think of Mimi and Tai breaking up?" I had noticed his silence on the subject.

"I'm not sure. It's really not my place to make any judgments on that subject."

"Come on, you have to think something about that."

"Well, I'm not sure Tai and Mimi made a good couple. He doesn't really seem her type. I always thought she would go for someone more intellectual. Then again, I'm not sure if I really saw you and Michael as a couple, no offence. Michael's a nice guy, but he didn't really seem like the type of guy for you. You're so energetic, you need someone to calm you down."

"Hey…" I was about to argue with him, then realized he was probably right. "Why do you think that Mimi would go for a brain?"

"No reason," he said quickly. I resisted from asking more so we could get back to work.

When the work was through, I got a message on my D-terminal to visit the digital world from Sora. I told Izzy where I was going and left.

"Digiport open!" Hawkmon and I looked to see Sora, along with Mimi. I wasn't sure I wanted to see Mimi at the moment, but don't want to be rude. I sat down under a tree facing Sora and Mimi. Hawkmon noticed that their digimon were playing in a field nearby and joined them. I was reluctant about this meeting and they both saw it. Mimi started the conversation.

"Yolei, I just want to clear the air. I heard about you and Michael and want to tell you my side. I don't want you to hate me for something I didn't do." Mimi sighed, trying to find the right words. "I did dump Tai because I am in love with someone else. However, it wasn't for Michael. I only think of him as a friend. I'm sorry Michael broke up with you for me."

"What happened?" I knew there was more.

"Well, I told Tai that I couldn't be with him; that I wanted someone else, but that person was already taken. I don't know why Michael thought I meant him. He did ask me out, but I told him I wasn't interested." She started to cry. "Please don't hate me; all of the Digidestined hate me."

"Oh Mimi! I don't hate you." I gave her a hug to emphasize my point.

"Thank you, Yolei, for forgiving me."

"But, I am curious about one thing, who is it? Who did you dump Tai for? Is it some guy from America?"

Mimi smiled at me, "No, it's Izzy."

I dropped my jaw, "But Izzy isn't seeing anyone."

"No, but he is taken because he's always working. The only reason I told Tai that the guy was taken was to make him think he was from America. Tai knows I had a crush on Izzy in the past. He just thought it went away."

I could understand why she would do that. Tai had a temper. Mimi and I hugged each other again. Sora, who had been quiet the whole time, finally spoke while hugging us, "I didn't think that would go nearly so well." Sora and I said goodbye to Mimi and left for the real world with Hawkmon and Biyomon.

A/N: Another short chapter, like most of these will be. Remember R&R, and no flames! This story is basically written, I just need encouragement to put up more! For those of you reading this for Takari, Sorato, Taiora and Koumi, there is very little of that. I'm thinking of writing a sequel to this, but from a Koumi perspective and devoloping their relationship. Not sure yet. Let me know what you guys think! Any suggestions?
