I'm sorry I took so long to update. Here it is the next chapter...
Fifteen minutes later they were at Mimi's grandmother house.
- Obaasan! I'm back!
- Mimi-chan. I wasn't expecting you again, dear. What a surprise. Who's this young man?
- Izumi Koushiro, ma'am. I'm Mimi's-
- Boyfriend!
- No, no! – he shouted – Friend! Mimi's friend!
- Bestfriend! – Mimi said smiling sweetly at him – We're here to say goodbye, obaasan. We're heading back to Tokyo.
- Oh, my angel. It's so sweet of you to come back just to say goodbye for good. Go, go, now. Take good care of my princess Izumi-san.
- He always does, obaasan.
Koushiro blushed a little hearing Mimi's words. 'I promise I will. That's why I accompanied her here, ma'am.'
- I see, I see. Mimi-chan, go to the kitchen and take some hato sabure for the trip back – the old woman then grabbed Koushiro's arm and whispered – I can see it very well, you know. I can see Mimi's heart since she was a child. What a sweet girl she is. I know that you can see it too.
- I-I do. Mimi-san is very sweet.
- And beautiful.
- Y-yes.
Mimi returned from the kitchen with the cookies. 'What's happening?'
- Nothing, dear. Izumi-san was helping me to see some things.
- Oh... – Mimi said confused, looking around – What are you seeing, then?
- Your heart.
- My- Obaasan! – she cried, blushing. Mimi knew her grandmother very well. – Let's go now, Koushiro. Thank you for the cookies, obaasan. I'll miss you!
- Oh, I think you'll come back to Japan quicker than you think.
Mimi and Koushiro stared at her, blinking their eyes. They then left and ran to the parking lot where the others were waiting for them.
- I'm sorry for my grandmother... – Mimi said – She's really sweet, but can be creepy sometimes.
- It's ok. I liked her.
- She foresees things, sometimes. She knew about Palmon before I even told her! And she knew we were moving to the USA before my father telling her.
- You know I don't believe in those things, Mimi-san. Seeing the future and all...
- I know...
- But... If that's what it takes for you to come back to Japan, then I'll believe it just a little. – Koushiro said. Mimi gave him a big smile in retun.
When they arrived to the car, Miyako was already occupying the front seat, so Mimi went to the back, seating between Koushiro and Daisuke. She fell asleep almost instantly and slept on Koushiro's shoulder for the whole trip, waking up only to let him go home. Taichi left Mimi at her hotel. 'See you later Mimi-chan!'. She entered her room and headed for the shower. They didn't settle having dinner together before going to the club, so Mimi ordered some food from the hotel restaurant to eat in her room. She took a nap, as she was really tired from being all day at the beach. A few hours later, she woke up to a phonecall from Sora:
- Hi, Mimi-chan. Me and Hikari-chan will be there in 15 minutes.
- Eh? What for?
- We want to see what dresses you brought! – she heard Hikari exclaming at far.
- Yeah... We could dress up together! – Sora said.
- Great idea! I'll be waiting! – Mimi answer, excited.
The girls gathered at Mimi's hotel room. Mimi laid all her dresses and skirts on her queen sized bed. 'Ok, choose, girls! Don't forget that Feria is classy... I think I'll wear this low back dress, with those silver heels!'. It was a short, circle skirt black dress. Very vintage looking. It had no back and the cleavage was heart shaped, with two strips holding it behind the neck.
- Wow, that's a cute one! And... sexy! – Hikari noted.
- Mimi-chan is set to break some hearts, tonight. – Sora said laughing.
- No way! I just want to have a good time, dance a lot, have some shots with you guys, become tipsy and then dance it out until sober again. – Mimi said excited.
- No boys tonight, then?
- Well... I have one in mind. But I kinda like him, so... I won't throw myself at him. I want him to come by himself.
- I wonder who he is... – said Hikari thoughtful.
- I'm hesitant between two or three. I'll keep my eye on you tonight, Mimi-chan. – Sora said with a sly smile.
- Ah ah ah, okay! Have you decided what you'll be wearing?
- I'll wear this sequin shorts with a white crop top, and sneakers. What about you, Sora-san?
- Hmm... Maybe these short tube-skirt with a top, and my ballerinas.
- Well.. Fortunately, we are all going for different styles... I really hate to go out dressed exactly as my friends! Let's get dressed! Sora-san, can you help me with the eyeliner next?
- Sure thing! What are you doing to your hair?
- I'll just wear a headband!
hato sabure is a popular butter cookie from Kamakura.
For a picture of Mimi's dress you can google "Koumi dance", it's the first image that shows. It's an artwork from Akeemi-chan and it's great! (I'm really a fan of her digimon work *-*)
