Everything for you
Bonus: Dr. Love
Matt was floating several feet above the seats in what was now a very memorable place for him. The concert tent where the copy Tai had attacked him and the same one where the true Tai had beaten the copy to save Sora. Currently he was watching WarGreymon and BlackWarGreymon duke it out as the Copy Tai stood on stage with murder in his eyes, and the real deal stood in front of Sora trying his hardest to stay calm. Matt watched as BlackWarGreymon suddenly flew at WarGreymon looking as though he was going to strike but stopped very close to WarGreymon and shouted "Nova Destroyer!"
WarGreymon didn't hesitate in his counter attack shouting "Terra Force" and spinning into BlackWarGreymon. Matt saw chunks of black metal flying off the behemoth. Matt continued to watch as his own copy attacked WarGreymon and was followed into the tent by a copy of every Digidestened except Sora. Then Matt saw something amazing. He saw Tai and WarGreymon become one and defeat the copy Digidestened with one attack.
Then Matt suddenly flashed forward to the concert a few days later, more specifically the day Mimi had sung for Tai and Sora. The moment he saw specifically was when Tai and Sora kissed.
Matt once again was forced to a different moment in time, this time it was his conversation with Sora the day after Tai beat his copy, and the day after Matt learned the truth of how Tai felt about his relationship with Sora.
"I think we should stop seeing each other." Matt said "I really do like you, but Tai loves you, he needs you and I think you need him too."
"But what about you?" Sora said
"I'll be fine, besides we'll always be friends." Matt said
"And there's always Mimi." Sora said
Suddenly a pink glow began to shine from behind Matt, and he heard a giggle that sounded very familiar, but for some reason he couldn't place it.
He turned to see the source of the light, but it was blinding in it's brilliance and he couldn't look directly at it.
Then she spoke "Now we're back to the beginning, it's just a feeling and no one knows yet. But just because they don't feel it too, doesn't mean you have to forget..."
She sounded familiar, and Matt was sure he had heard her voice somewhere before but he couldn't remember where.
"Forget what?" Matt asked still trying to get a good look at her face
"Let you're memories grow stronger and stronger, until they're before your eyes." she said
"What does that mean?" Matt asked desperately
She didn't respond and merely giggled again.
Matt woke up harshly when his alarm clock went off, interrupting his dream.
"Damn it..." he mumbled feeling for the infernal device.
When he managed to turn it off he forced himself out of bed and walked into the living room to scrounge up some breakfast.
He stepped over a pile of laundry and nearly fell on his ass when he stepped on a old and empty pizza box. Eventually he made it to the kitchen, and he looked in the cupboards for anything that would pass as breakfast. Pushing aside a box of airline peanuts, several cans of various soups, and a bag of pasta he found what he was looking for, a box of cereal. He hunted down a bowl and poured the last of the coco puffs into it. He then proceeded to open the refrigerator and grab the milk, but he felt a pit form in his stomach when he heard the way it sloshed around inside. It sounded... lumpy. Matt groaned and tossed the milk away and looked into the refrigerator once again. His options were limited. They had a quarter of a twelve pack of beer, orange juice, some sodas, and purple stuff in a milk jug. Matt sighed and grabbed the orange juice and poured it on his cereal frowning at it afterward. He sat down at the table with a spoon and tried a bite.

Matt walked out of the convenience store on his way to school with a muffin in his hand. He walked the rest of the way to school eating his muffin, throwing the paper away in a trash can he passed on the way. Matt arrived before most of the other Digidestened, as per usual, and if the trend of usualness continued Izzy would be the next to show up, then it would be Sora, Kari, and Tai, (who had been forced to wake up by Sora) TK, Cody, and Yolei would show up last being that they lived the farthest from school. Davis was always the first at school for two reasons, he lived closest and he wanted to get extra soccer practice in. Joe had already graduated High school, and Mimi of course was in America.
Or so Matt thought.
Suddenly a pair of hands covered Matt's eyes and before their owner could say anything Matt said "I know it's you Tai, now get your hands off my face."
"Guess again singer boy" a familiar voice said from behind him
"No way, Mimi?" Matt said pulling her hands from his eyes and turning around.
Now in his excitement Matt had forgotten to think this through. Because Mimi was about a full head shorter than him, she had to stand very close behind Matt to successfully cover his eyes. So now Matt and Mimi were standing in a very close proximity and Matt was still holding her hands.
"You know, I was going to pull some prank on you, but I think this is way funnier." Tai said walking up with Sora and Kari.
Mimi's face immediately began glowing red while Matt dropped her hands and said "This isn't what it looks like and you know it."
"Really? Because it looked like you were about to kiss her." Tai said watching Mimi grow ever redder
Sora faked anguish and sobbed "You moved on from me so fast! I never meant anything to you did I?"
"You started dating Tai two days after we broke up!" Matt exclaimed
"Relax Matt, they're just teasing. My idiot brother has not been a good influence on Sora." Kari said
Matt grumbled and said "Well where's Izzy? He normally gets here before you."
"Computer lab, he said that he had to finish that essay that's due today." Tai said
"He's doing homework this early, wait, Izzy didn't finish his homework?" Mimi exclaimed
"Come on Meems, this is Izzy we're talking about. Of course he's finished it, he's probably just spell checking it for the hundredth time."
The bell rang for class and Matt and Tai walked to their shared first period.
As they walked down the halls several girls were checking them out, which is not something new for them, being the rocker and the soccer star. Unfortunately many of the girls had adopted using pet names.
"Hey Matty!" One said as they walked past
"Hey Taichi" another said
Tai cringed and said "Why do they think it's cute to call me by my full name?"
"It beats 'Matty'" Matt said
"Yeah, but it pisses me off. Don't they know I'm in a relationship?" Tai said
"Probably, but they don't care. When Sora and I were dating it only seemed like they were calling me 'Matty' more."
"Speaking of, now that Mimi is back to stay what does that mean for you?" Tai said
"What are you getting at?" Matt asked
"Don't screw around Matt. We both know you've got a huge crush on the girl, and the only reason you were able to date Sora is because Mimi was halfway across the planet." Tai said
"Am I that transparent?" Matt asked
"Only to me, I'm Dr. Love!" Tai joked
"This from the guy who didn't know that Sora had the hots for him until she set up the worlds most elaborate surprise for him." Matt said
"That doesn't count, I thought she was still dating you." Tai said "And stop changing the subject. Mimi, what are you going to do about her?"
"I don't know. I guess I'll just play it by ear."
"What if Sora and I helped?" Tai asked
"No, no way." Matt said sternly
"Come on why not?" Tai asked
"Because you'll come up with some over elaborate plan that will end up falling apart at the last moment and I'll end up looking stupid in front of Mimi." Matt said
"But with Sora helping too she'll be able to prevent me from convincing you to follow through on said over elaborate plan. So no worries." Tai said
"I still don't want your help." Matt said
"Well that's too bad, because you're getting it, whether you like it or not. You can either accept it and we can collaborate or you can fight it and I'll make up my own plan. Which sounds like it can do more damage?" Tai said
"Fine you win. You can help." Matt said
"Yay!" Tai cheered "Meet at my house after school."
--
Tai, Matt, Sora, and Kari were sitting in Tai's living room as Tai finished explaining the plan he had thought up during his fifth period.
"And then the bowling ball will roll down the tracks and press the button causing the party ball overhead to explode, dropping confetti on you and Mimi, and then you confess and she'll be so stunned by awesomeness that she will have no other option than to say yes!" Tai said
"I don't know Tai, that sounds really awful." Matt said
"And deadly" Kari threw in
"The part with the flowers was nice..." Sora offered
"But the part with the flamethrower sounds dangerous." Kari said
Tai sat down defeated.
"Well I'm tapped for ideas. You have anything Sor?"
"As a matter of fact I do." Sora said standing up.
"Well first you ask Mimi to come with you to the park and then....."
Matt zoned Sora out after that, Kari was right Tai had been a terrible influence on her.
"Then once you saved her from the mugger, you look deep into her eyes and tell her you love her and kiss her with cherry blossoms fluttering all around you." Sora said
"Uh, Sora, you do know that the Cherry Blossoms don't bloom for another month and a half right?" Tai said
"....Right...." Sora said sitting down.
"Don't listen to them Matt, you don't need Flamethrowers and Bowling balls, or "a gently falling rain" and Cherry Blossoms. Just ask her to a coffee shop or something and talk to her. Tell her how you feel in a situation she would be comfortable in." Kari said
"So what kind of environment should I take her too?" Matt thought out-loud
Matt felt a pit form in his stomach as the painfully obvious answer came to his mind.
--
Mimi cheered as she got out of Matt's car and skipped towards the Mall.
Matt sighed and followed the brunette into the massive structure.
"Thanks for taking me shopping today Matt!" Mimi said
"No problem Mimi, I thought you'd like it." Matt said
The two spent hours going from shop to shop checking out the merchandise and more often than not walking out with a bag to add to the ever growing pile in Matt's arms.
Eventually Mimi stopped and said "I'm hungry, want to hit up the food court?"
"Sure." Matt said exhausted
They walked to the food court and picked out a table. Matt set down Mimi's things and asked "What do you want to eat?"
"Sushi, it's been ages since I ate good sushi." Mimi said
"Alright. I'll go get it you stay here and watch the bags." Matt said walking to Hattori Sushi
Mimi watched him go and stared at the blonde object of her affection until she heard a voice talking to her.
"Hey baby, what's going on here, you all alone?" the guy said
"Well-" Mimi began
"Cool." The guy said cutting her off and sitting in Matt's seat "The name's Hachirou Inihara. And you have the pleasure of being my new Girlfriend."
Before Mimi had the opportunity to tell the guy off Matt appeared behind Hachirou and placed a hand on his shoulder gripping tightly.
"Excuse me, but I think your in my seat." Matt said venomously
"Get lost, can't you see I'm busy here?" Hachirou said "Now Babe, where were we?"
Matt set the Sushi down on the table and stared daggers at Hachirou and said "Leave."
"Geez didn't I tell you to get lost?" Hachirou said standing to face Matt
Matt stood his ground and said "You did, but your the one who needs to get lost."
"Who are you to tell me I need to get lost?" Hachirou said shoving Matt
"Her Boyfriend, now get lost before I make you." Matt said
"Her Boyfriend?" Hachirou echoed "Psh, I should have known, she's the kind of girl who would jump any guy who comes knocking."
Hachirou turned to leave, but Matt had had enough. He grabbed Hachirou's shirt and pulled him to face him while simultaneously throwing a punch at his face. His punch connected and Hachirou was thrown to the ground.
Matt turned to Mimi and said "Come on, we're leaving."
Matt grabbed the bags and walked away while Mimi grabbed the sushi trays and followed him still astonished by what she had just witnessed.
As they left they heard Hachirou shouting "My face! I can't believe he hit my face!"
--
Matt and Mimi drove home in silence when a thought occurred to Mimi.
"Matt, you said we are dating." Mimi said
"What? Oh, yeah, I was trying to get that jerk to leave you alone." Matt said
"Oh..." Mimi said disappointed "I... I thought..."
Matt pulled over to the side of the road and looked over to her. Tears were beginning to form in her eyes. Matt placed a hand on her cheek and turned her head to look at him. He smiled gently and said "Don't cry, just because I said it to get him to leave you alone doesn't mean I don't want it to be the truth."
"Matt... do you mean..." Mimi said
Matt nodded and Mimi threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly "Oh Matt, I can't tell you how long I've wanted to be with you. Even when I was in America."
Matt hugged her back and said "I know, I've wanted the same thing. Now let's eat I'm starved."
Matt reached into the back seat to find the Sushi but Mimi placed her hand on his cheek guiding him to look at her as he had done to her only moments ago.
"The only thing I want to eat is right here." Mimi said before wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him hard on the lips.
He wrapped his arms around her and returned the sentiment ten fold.
--
Hachirou walked through the mall rubbing his face where Matt had hit him. He turned into the sports store and walked up to someone looking at the store's goggles.
"Jeez Tai, your friend hits hard." Hachirou said
Tai laughed "He punched you? You really must have pissed him off."
"Yeah, well that was kinda the plan wasn't it?" Hachirou said
"Well yeah, but I didn't think he'd punch you." Tai said "Really though thanks for helping."
"I owed you a favor for helping me with my drop kick, so now we're even." Hachirou said
"Yeah, we're square, and so are Matt and I."

DT: Well it may be a day late and a dollar short, but here it is. The Mimato bonus chapter for MM Forever. I've never written for them before so I hope I did alright. I had a lot of fun writing this, I like writing comedy every now and again. (I had waaay too much fun with Matt's breakfast, and Tai's plan, I actually thought of the whole thing believe it or not) So I think I'm done ranting. The Digital Typhoon does not own Digimon, or the song "The Call" by Regina Spektor.
