Chapter 4
The next morning Sora woke up to find herself in her bed.
What am I doing here? I thought I fell asleep on the couch Sora thought
She got up and did her morning thing and then headed for the kitchen for some coffee where she found Tai working on his homework.
"Morning Tai" Sora greeted
"Morning Sora, how'd you sleep last night?" Tai asked as he looked up from his homework
"Good, but I thought I fell asleep on the couch" Sora said
"You did, but I put you to bed. I thought you'd be more comfortable" Tai said
"Thanks" Sora said smiling
"No problem" Tai said smiling right back
"You two, it is too early to be that sweet" Kari said yawning
"Well good morning to you too Kar" Tai said smiling at his little sister
Kari mumbled something as she sat down
"Is TK up too?" Sora asked
Kari shook her head
"Maybe you should wake him" Tai suggested
Kari, who wasn't full awake nodded and headed to the living room where TK was sleeping. She shook the blond boy a few times before deciding to crawl in with him and fall asleep. TK still asleep moved his arm to accommodate her.
"Those two are so cute" Sora said smiling
"Yeah, I think we should sent a picture of this to Mimi" Tai said
"Tai that isn't a nice thing to do" Sora scolded
Tai shrunk a little
"We need to sent this picture to everyone except Davis" Sora said smirking
Tai smiled, "Sora, you devious little witch I'm so proud of you"
Sora took a bow and laughed
--
After TK awoke and finding Kari asleep next to him. He got up without a single thought about that. Kari woke a little after that. The group had breakfast and decided what they were going to do today.
"Okay, since we are having dinner with Mimi and Izzy on Friday then why don't we just see where they day takes us today" Tai suggested
"Sounds good to me, let's see if Izzy and Mimi are free also" Sora said
"But we're seeing them on Friday?" TK said confused
"So, it'd be nice for you guys to see them more since you don't see them as much like before" Sora said
Tai nodded
--
The four of them met Izzy and Mimi at a café near where the two lived.
"Hey Izzy, I'm surprised that you could get away from your computer" Tai said in greeting their computer friend
"Tai, behave" Sora said as she elbowed her best friend in the gut
"I really didn't have a choice since Mimi threaten that she'd destroy my computer if I didn't come" Izzy said
The others looked at Mimi with a bit of awe
"Remind me never get you angry Meems" TK said
"Izzy spends too much time on his computer anyway, and since we don't see you two very often anymore I wanted to make sure he saw you" Mimi said
"So, you weren't going to destroy my computer?" Izzy asked hesitantly
"Well after all those lectures I've gone to with you about computers, I think I have a good understanding on how to take one apart and put it back together without much trouble" Mimi said smiling proudly
"You actually listened to those lectures?" Tai asked in shocked
"Of course, I need to be able to find ways to bribe Izzy away from his computer, and if I can find a lecture that interests him I use it" Mimi said
"I never pegged you to be interested in computers Mimi" Kari said
Mimi shrugged
"I don't think it's the computers she's interested in" Tai commented
Izzy looked at Tai curiously while Mimi blushed a bit
"Well we aren't going to have fun just standing here, lets go" Mimi said wanting to break the mood
--
The day was spent wandering without a set destination in place and as they walked around they reminisced about the old days.
"Do you remember the time where Mimi force fed Izzy one of her cooking creations?" Tai asked
"How could I forget, Izzy ran so fast you'd believe that he was being chased by a Monochromon" Sora laughed
"Hey, my cooking didn't hurt him" Mimi said
"I know Meems, but you can be quite scary when you want someone to try one of your new recipes" TK said
Mimi pouted
"Oh Mimi, we're just teasing, besides we love watching Izzy squirm" Kari said smiling
Izzy's cheek pinkened even more
"Well it is funny watching Izzy try and run from me" Mimi said with a grin
"I have no idea how you never tried out for track and field Mimi, you'd be great at it" Sora said
"I don't run unless I'm being chased by evil Digimon, there's a sale at the mall, or trying to catch Izzy" Mimi said
"Could we please change the subject?" Izzy asked desperately
"But Izzy this is such a great subject" Tai said sarcastically
Izzy sent a pleading look to Sora, who sighed and nodded
"Well, I think we should find a place to eat before Tai's stomach starts up" Sora said
"Hey my stomach isn't that bad" Tai said
It was at that moment when Tai's stomach started to rumble loudly making everyone else laugh
"Fine, what looks like a good place?" Tai asked now looking around
"Lets take them to our usual spot Izzy" Mimi suggested
Izzy nodded
"You two have usual spot?" Kari questioned
"Of course we do, it's a place where we go after classes are done and want to unwind" Mimi said
Kari nodded
Mimi and Izzy led the group to a small restaurant that was out of the way and could be missed if you weren't looking for it.
"I've never seen this place before" Tai commented
"That's why Izzy and I picked it, there aren't many people who come here and that's just fine with us" Mimi said
"Well let's get a table then" Sora said
After they were seated a waitress came by
"Hello Izzy, Mimi, I see you brought company with you today" the waitress said in greeting
"Hi Sophie, yes these are our friends these two," he pointed at Tai and Sora, "are going to college like us and names are Tai and Sora, those two," he pointed to TK and Kari, "are visiting Tai and Sora and there names are TK and Kari" Izzy said
"Nice to meet you as you know my name is Sophie and I'll be your waitress today" Sophie said
They greeted the waitress and she took the group's drink orders and left
"This is a nice place, how did you guys find it?" Sora asked
"Well, we weren't really looking for it, we were just exploring the area so we wouldn't get lost and that's how you found it" Izzy said
"Well that was lucky for you guys" Tai said
"Yes, and they have the best pasta" Mimi said happily
"I can't wait then" TK said
Kari nodded in agreement
Sophie came back with the drinks
"So what can I get for you or do you need more time?" Sophie asked
"Well Sophie, what can you recommend?" Tai asked as he looked over the menu
"Well the Swiss burger is good, but I think for you, I'd recommend the lasagna" Sophie said
"Then I'll take it" Tai said
Sophie nodded and wrote down Tai's order
"What do you guys want? I know that Izzy and Mimi will want their usual shared pasta bowl" Sophie said smirking at the aforementioned couple
This made the others stare at Izzy and Mimi for a bit
"What, it's easier for us to share an entrée than to have each of us to have a separate one" Mimi simply explained
Tai shook his head while Sora had a smirk on her face
"I'll take the spaghetti with meatballs" TK said
"I'll have the Shrimp pasta" Kari said
"And I'll the Chicken Alfredo" Sora said
Sophie wrote the orders down and left
"So you two share a meal together? Is there anything you want to tell us?" Tai asked
"What do you mean Tai? There's nothing going on with Mimi and I" Izzy said confused by the question
"Izzy, Izzy, what are we going to do with you?" Sora said shaking her head
Izzy was still perplexed and Sora looked at Kari and TK for help. Mimi however, excused herself to use the bathroom. Which helped a lot.
"What Sora is trying to say is that Mimi likes you" Kari said
"Of course Mimi likes me, we're friends" Izzy said still not understanding
"Kari means she likes you" TK said making to emphasize the word 'likes'
Izzy looked a bit confused at first, but you could see the realization on his face plain as day.
"What am I going to do?" Izzy asked desperately
"Well Izzy, what you need to ask yourself is how do you feel about Mimi" Sora said
Izzy sat there silently as he thought about what he felt for the former pink haired girl. But he wasn't able to have enough time as Mimi decided to come back.
"Sorry guys, what are we talking about?" Mimi asked as she sat down
Izzy stiffen a bit as Mimi's shoulder brushed against his. Mimi didn't notice this at all.
Sophie came around with drinks that they ordered and chatted a little with them
"So Sophie, how long has Izzy and Mimi been coming here?" Sora asked
"Well I've only worked here for about a month, but according the other staff here they come here everyday since they moved in, I think" Sophie said
"Really?" Tai said
Mimi smiled while Izzy was still trying to figure out his feeling that he wasn't paying attention
--
When their meals arrived they saw that the pasta bowl that was Izzy and Mimi's meal was big. It was served in a big bowl.
"Wow, uh you think that's enough pasta for you two?" Tai asked
"Well to be honest I love pasta and I can't get enough of it, so I'm the one who eats most of it" Mimi said smiling sheepishly
This was a shocking revelation to the group even though they have known each other for such a long time it was amazing that they were able to still surprise each other once and awhile.
"Well, that was a shocker" TK said
Kari nodded still unable to believe the size of the bowl.
Izzy was quiet the whole time trying to settle his feelings for his friend Mimi, but it kind of hard to when the object of his thoughts was so close to him and bumping into him every once and awhile. This made the computer genius blush after each bump.
Tai and Sora noticed this and were silently congratulating TK and Kari for their work.
--
After the meal they left with Izzy making up an excuse about an assignment he needed to be done and rushed off before Mimi could stop him.
"What is wrong Izzy?" Mimi asked out loud
But none of her friends would answer her.
--
Izzy rushed to his apartment and when got to his room he plopped onto his bed.
'What am I going to do? Do I really like Mimi like that? Does she like me like that? And if she does what does that mean?'
These questions spun around his head as he slowly got up and went to his computer hoping that it would take his mind of things. Thirty minutes later and Izzy was still stuck in the same thought train. This didn't suit the computer genius as he was not good in the realm and knew only a hand full of people that could help him. But he didn't want to go to them as that meant he'd get teased. He knew that the teasing was in good fun, but he needed serious help. Without further contemplation he got up and headed to Tai and Sora's.
--
Izzy took a deep breath and knocked on the door to Tai and Sora's.
"Izzy, man what are you doing here?" TK asked opening the door
"I need to talk to Sora" Izzy said a bit in a panic
"Alright, but I think Mimi is doing that right now" TK said
Izzy stiffen at this
"Are you alright Izzy?" TK asked
"F-f-fine" Izzy stuttered out as he enter the apartment
"Izzy, there you are? I was worried about you" Mimi said as she sprung from her seat on the couch to engulf the computer genius in a big hug
Izzy was now beet red from the contact and it didn't look like it was going to go away anytime soon
"Are you feeling alright Izzy? You're all red and stuff" Mimi asked worriedly as she placed a hand on Izzy's forehead
Izzy was now feeling faint as girl that he realized he has feelings for was touching him and he didn't know if he could take the sudden wave of emotion coursing through him.
"Maybe he better lay down" Tai advised
Mimi nodded and led Izzy over to the couch and gently laid the redhead down making sure his head was on a pillow.
"Feeling better Izzy?" Mimi asked softly
Izzy mumbled something, but you couldn't decipher what he said as it was so garbled
Mimi smiled and went to the bathroom to dampen a washcloth. When she came back she laid the washcloth on Izzy's forehead hoping to cool him down.
--
"I think we have our answer for if Izzy likes Mimi" Tai said
Sora rolled her eyes
"My brother, Mr state the obvious" Kari said
"So now that we did that, what is the next step?" TK asked
Sora and Tai looked at each other and a non-verbal debate started.
"Come on TK, they will be at it for a while" Kari said taking the blonde's hand and leading out of the kitchen.
--
Meanwhile back in the living room Mimi had Izzy's head in her lap and was running a hand through his hair.
Oh Izzy, what's wrong with you? I never seen you like this, I hope you aren't coming down with something because then I might not be able to see you as much. Then again I can always come over wearing that nurse outfit I wore a few Halloweens ago and help you get better Mimi thought as a slow blush grew on her face
"Mimi, are you okay, you're starting to look like Izzy?" Kari asked
Mimi shook her head
"I'm fine Kari, I just was think of something" Mimi answered
Kari nodded
"So Meems, what's it like living close to our resident genius?" TK asked
"Well it is nice to have a friend near by, because I still do feel a little homesick now and then, plus he's good fun when he's away from the computer" Mimi said
"He is, I never pegged him to be the fun type" TK said
"Well he is, you just have to have him away from his computer and he's a good guy to be with" Mimi said blushing slightly
--
Meanwhile Tai and Sora were trying to reconfigure their plan
"Tai, what are we going to do now?" Sora asked
"Well, I think we don't have to do much with Izzy and Mimi, now we can focus on TK and Kari" Tai said
Sora nodded
"Well what do you have in mind, oh great leader?" Sora asked
"Tomorrow, we'll tell TK and Kari that we're busy with something and that they have to amuse themselves and hope something clicks" Tai said
"Tai of all the plans you've had this is one of the weakest ones you've ever had" Sora commented
"Sorry, but I couldn't think of anything else that would sound realistic" Tai said rubbing the back of his head
Sora smiled
"I didn't say that it was a bad plan Tai, I just thought you'd think of something more elaborate" Sora said
Tai just shrugged
--
Izzy was still laying on the couch with his head on Mimi's lap, but his mind was in turmoil
What am I doing? Izzy thought in panic mode
Quit panicking and just enjoy the ride a voice said
But this isn't right, is it? Izzy thought
Who cares of it's right or not the voice said
But this is Mimi, my friend Mimi, it isn't right Izzy thought
Will you shut down that brain of yours and relax for once in your life. Quit trying to analyze what you're feeling and go with it the voice said
Yes, but- Izzy was interrupted
No 'buts' you have feelings for Mimi, so what? Is it love? Too soon to tell, but this is something that can't be dissected by logic. So can itthe voice said
Izzy let his brain shut down and let it flow like the voice told him and he realized that he loved being in Mimi's lap. Her hand running through his hair. He could smell her perfume and he felt right at home. Never had he felt like this and once he let his brain turn off he felt at peace.
