Chapter 5 Mimi and you
"I'm so tired!" Mimi complained. "Do you know how much longer it's gonna take, Izzy?"
Izzy checked his computer map. "I'm not very sure, but it looks like it might take awhile." Mimi groaned and ran her fingers through her caramel hair in frustration. She shifted her bright pink bag. Joe grinned to himself. He had been prepared for her whining and had brought a disc man and a couple of CDs of some lectures that his teachers had lent him.
"Joe, how can you listen to that?" Mimi asked. He yanked an earphone out. "I have a test coming up soon and I need to study for it." Mimi pulled a face. "How can you study at a time like this?" Joe shrugged.
The sun was hidden behind huge spreading trees. Mimi crept closely behind Izzy.
"Uh…don't you guys find this kind of spooky?" She whispered. Izzy turned around. "No." They walked in silence. A tapping sound was heard from behind a tree. Mimi spun around in fright.
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong. Something doesn't feel right." Izzy sighed impatiently. "Look Mimi there's nothing wrong and even if there was…" Izzy was interrupted by a loud thump. Mimi screamed as a large shadow loomed before them.
"Hey Mimi, calm down. It's just us." Yolei's familiar voice soothed. Behind Yolei were Ken and Cody.
"You know, it's a lucky thing I had my earphones on, otherwise I would be deaf by now." Joe grinned.
The six walked in a tight bunch as they passed tall dark trees. There was a creepy aura and they didn't want to lose anyone. The sun was desperate to shine its bright happy rays down, but the clouds held it back and the air was covered in mist.
"Well Izzy? How much further?" Cody asked. Izzy opened up his laptop which he had been holding carefully by his side.
"Well we shouldn't take to long, but the next part that we're coming up to is going to be a maze." He glanced up. "We're going to have to be careful otherwise it would probably take about...oh I think four hours at least." Joe gulped. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but his test was really important and he needed to study a lot for it.
The small group walked past trees and bushes that all looked alike. They seemed to be everywhere. Mimi wondered if they even were bushes. She narrowed her eyes at the bushes. Something didn't feel right.
"Are we out of the maze yet?" Joe asked, tiredly.
"Yes. We're nearly there." Izzy replied.
"Really?" Mimi perked up. Izzy, Joe and Ken stared at her wearily. How did she have all that energy even after walking for five hours? Mimi rummaged around in her bag. To everyone's shock and surprise, except Yolei, she pulled out a makeup bag.
"Why did you bring makeup?" Joe asked, dazed.
"I have to freshen up, of course. Don't you guys know anything?" Everyone sweat dropped. Mimi applied a fresh coat of lip gloss and sprayed some more perfume to keep her smelling nice and sweet.
"Hey Mimi? Do you have a spare hair brush?" Yolei asked. Mimi fumbled around in her bag a second time and produced a hot pink hair brush.
"Thanks." Yolei pulled the bright brush through her lavender hair. The group stopped abruptly in front of a rock wall.
"Well that's just great. We get to spend a few hours figuring out where to go next. Say, does anyone want to waste a few hours?" Joe sarcastically remarked. Izzy indicated for Joe to shut up.
Mimi kept a good distance away from the rough rocky surface.
"Lean against the wall." Izzy instructed. Mimi grudgingly complied and put her ear against the cold wall. Faint murmurs danced around on the other side.
"What do you think it is?" Mimi muttered.
"I'm hoping it's people." Izzy muttered back.
"So how are we going to know?" Ken asked. Izzy bent down to look around in his bag. In his hands was an unusual looking device.
"I call it the finder. I use it to help me find things or find out information." Izzy explained. He placed the Finder against the wall and took a step back to let the Finder do its job. Mimi took a blanket out of her bag and spread it across the floor.
"Why'd you bring that?" Cody asked.
"For times like these." Mimi gracefully sunk onto the blanket and sighed.
"Well since Izzy's thing might take awhile, I could Sit and listen to my lectures." Joe quickly spoke. He parked himself onto the blanket without bothering to ask Mimi. The other three looked at each other and then made a mad dash for the blanket. They ended up in a very twisted mess.
"I'm glad I didn't decide to rest." Izzy said dryly. He watched as the Finder shifted from place to place; scanning the area once in awhile.
"Izzy, are you sure your thing works?" Cody asked. They had been waiting for almost an hour.
"It'll take some time because the Finder is scanning the whole area. Be patient. I know it works." Izzy replied. Mimi was resting against Joe and Yolei was curled up into a ball.
"Well, it's just that I am a little hungry." Cody said sheepishly. Izzy picked out an energy bar from the kit and tossed it to Cody. Cody gratefully took it and munched on it.
"Beep beep!" The finder screeched. Izzy shot awake and hurried to see what the Finder had found.
"Hey guys! The Finder found something!" Izzy called happily. Mimi sat up groggily and opened a tired eye.
"Are you sure?" She asked slowly. Izzy nodded his head and helped Mimi wake up the others. Izzy held the Finder carefully and examined the reading.
"Well it says that there seems to be a sort of doorway." Izzy said.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Joe asked rhetorically. He scrambled up to the area where the Finder had scanned and felt around it. Moments later a bright light shone through and Mimi could only sigh in awe.
When the six had recovered from the shockingly bright light, they stepped inside. Mimi was blissfully happy.
"It's so beautiful." Mimi murmured to Yolei. Yolei nodded in agreement.
"Mimi! Joe! Izzy!" A familiar voice called. The group turned to see Tai running towards them.
"Oh no! Hide the food!" Mimi joked. Tai pouted. "I was only kidding. Don't worry." Matt, Kari, Sora, T.K and Davis soon joined them and the twelve were reunited again.
"So…do you know when Gennai will get in touch?" Tai asked. Izzy shook his head.
"I hope he doesn't yet, because I want to enjoy this beautiful place!" Mimi cried happily.
"Me too." Sora agreed. The twelve of them were scattered across a bright green hill.
"So how long did we actually take to get here?" Ken asked curiously.
"About 5 truth or dare rounds, 7 spin the bottles…" Sora glanced meaningfully at the boys. "And a few biggest embarrassments."
"Wow. How long did that take?" Cody asked Kari.
"Oh about five to seven hours. I kind of lost count." Kari replied. She leaned against T.K and closed her eyes. Mimi smiled to herself at the cuteness and fell asleep on her blanket.
Author's note: I'm really sorry about the delay. I just couldn't bring myself to write this. Thanks for reviewing!
