Our Moments
Chapter 2: From Charms to Monkeys
Love Charm
Mimi sighed happily when Sora came out of her bathroom holding a small basket full of assorted nail polishes. Mimi giddily sat up straight on Sora's bed and laid out a bunch of paper towels in front of her. Sora fingered through the different coloured bottles.
"Hmm, do you know what colour you want?" Sora asked. Mimi smiled.
"Pink of course! It looks best on me," Mimi said matter-a-factly. Sora grinned.
"Of course, why'd I ask?" Sora laughed. Mimi grinned and plucked all the pink shades out of the basket as soon as Sora put it on the bed. Sora plopped on the bed opposite of Mimi and crossed her legs.
"Hmm, I don't do this often so you're going to have to tell me which colours looks best, I've had these since I was like, 3," Sora chuckled. Mimi beamed.
"Don't worry hun, I'm best at things like this, either green or blue, it'll bring out your hair which is your best feature," Mimi said giving Sora some blue and green bottles of nail polish. Sora put the little pile of bottles in front of her and sorted which shade she wanted.
Mimi was honestly surprised when Sora suggested they paint their nails. It wasn't like Sora was the most girly person in the world. But that in mind, Mimi reaped all the benefits of this while it lasted. Mimi offered to do Sora's nails first after the girl clumsily tried to do it on her own. Mimi had enough practice and a steady enough hand to paint her own nails perfectly. After the first coat Sora relaxed, keeping her hands outstretched in front of her, making sure not to touch anything. She glanced over at Mimi and cracked a smile when she saw the serious concentration showing on the honey-haired girls' face as she painted her long smooth nails.
"Wow, you're so into it," Sora joked. Mimi straightened up, still looking at her nails.
"Of course, this is very important; you look at your hands all the time, so they need to look perfect!" Mimi said. Sora grinned at her friends and gazed at her own green nails. Sora's eyes wandered over to a picture on her side table. She blushed lightly at the photo of her and Matt together. She glanced at Mimi who still looked very serious.
"Hey," Sora called lightly. Mimi glanced up once.
"Hm?"
"Um, you know that old rumor right?" Sora mumbled, a blush creeping on her cheeks. Mimi looked up properly this time, and confused expression on her face.
"What rumor?"
"Well, that old one from when we were little, that if you paint the name of your crush on your nails, he'll become your boyfriend soon after?" Sora said, a little bit quickly. Mimi paused.
"Oh, that one," she said, and nodded, "yeah, what about it?" Sora fidgeted with her feet and sat up straight.
"Well, I was wondering, just for fun y'know, could you paint someone's name for me?" Sora asked, embarrassed. Mimi grinned widely.
"Seriously! Who is it?" she asked giddily, moving her concentration from her nails to her conversation. Sora smiled shyly.
"Well, I wanted you to write Matt's name," she said. Mimi squealed.
"ohhh! That's so cute! I'll definitely do it for you!" Mimi said, flushing with excitement. Sora perked up, her features filling up with happiness.
"I'm just going to finish my first coat and I'll do it once its dry okay?" Mimi said, Sora nodded and gazed at her own nails, smiling to herself. After a while of silence, Sora spoke up.
"So, who do you like? Are you going to write someone's name?" Sora asked slyly. Mimi blushed.
"What! No! Why would I like anyone!" Mimi quickly countered, her face turning beat red. Sora grinned.
"There is someone isn't there! C'mon tell mee!" Sora urged. Mimi shook her head furiously.
"No! There isn't anyone, I'm not saying anything!" Mimi said and quickly started shaking her hands around to dry the paint on them. Sora sighed and rolled her eyes. Once Mimi's nails were dry, she quickly painted Matt's name with another colour onto Sora's nails and sat back to clean up the paint bottles left all over the bed. Just then Sora's mom called her out and Sora quickly excused herself. Mimi watched her leave and slouched a little, sighing into the bed. Sora's room became quiet and Mimi's eyes gazed over every little thing in the room. She looked all around until her eyes rolled over the basket of nail polish. She glanced down at her bare, pink nails and a light blush tinted her cheeks.
Mimi glanced at the door and could hear Sora and her mom's voices faintly. She glanced back at the bottles and quickly snatched a colour. She quickly painted and name on them and shook them dry, shoving the bottle back into the basket. They dried quickly and as soon as Sora came in Mimi quickly grabbed the basket and headed for the bathroom to put them away. Sora came in looking at her own nails happily.
"Thanks so much Meems! I don't believe in this little charm, but it was still fun to do," Sora smiled,plopping down on her bed.
"No problem!" Mimi grinned and dashed into the bathroom, her nails flashing only one name as she walked.
Tai.
Telephone Wires
Tai looked tiredly down the staircase and the angered girl sitting on the last step with her elbows resting on her knees and her face resting in her palms. Tai sat silently on the top step and clasped his hands loosely together. Tai opened his mouth to speak but Mimi sighed angrily for about the hundredth time that afternoon.
The sunlight from the outside setting sun washed over them, leaving them covered in an orange glow. Tai waited another minute before speaking.
"Mimi –"
"Don't talk to me," Mimi shot back icily before Tai could even say anything. Tai's mouth snapped shut in an instant. It's was almost like her back was glaring at him. He could feel her anger towards him surrounding him and thickening the air he breathed. Tai frowned and slumped sadly looking at his socks. The house filled with silence…both Tai and Mimi not saying anything, the air around them tense and dangerous. Tai suddenly got an idea and slowly stood up, turning around and disappearing into a room upstairs. Mimi listened to his movements but didn't move an inch, refusing to look at him.
Tai came back and sat back down on the top stair with a paper cup telephone in his hand that he had quickly made. Tai sucked in a cautious breath and tossed down one cup so that it landed next to Mimi. He could see her head shift a fraction to look at the cup, but then she completely disregarded it. Tai waited a few more seconds before raising his own cup to speak.
"Will you forgive me?" he asked softly. Mimi ignored him. Tai rolled his tongue in his mouth, thinking of what next to say. He paused and then spoke.
"Hello? Hello? Is anyone there?" Tai urged. Mimi sighed in annoyance and grabbed her own cup, bringing it up to her mouth.
"Go away," she said harshly and threw the cup to her side. Tai watched Mimi's back and pouted slightly.
"…you won't forgive me?" Tai asked. Mimi ignored him until Tai tugged the string lightly, causing her cup to nudge back and forth. Mimi grabbed the cup again.
"No."
"Not even for a kiss?"
"No."
"Not even for one hundred kisses?"
"Hell no."
Tai sighed, slumping again. "Well, then you've given me no choice. I must resort to 'that'," Tai said dramatically. He could see Mimi perk slightly. Tai fumbled with the string. He could see Mimi's curiosity growing in her posture, but she still didn't look back at him. When Tai finished he grinned lightly.
"In coming!" he called. A small object slid down the string and finally plopped against Mimi's cup. Mimi looked down and the object and froze.
A shiny, golden ring with a diamond decoration shone brightly in the sunset. Mimi's eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. She spun to face Tai, looking at him with a mixture of emotion, anger, surprise, confusion…and love.
Tai lifted his cup to his mouth.
"If you can't forgive me, can you at least marry me?" he said sadly, looking at her with his best 'I'm sorry' expression. It seemed to work because in a second Mimi flew into his arms, wrapping her own around his neck. Tai smiled to himself.
"I'm sorry," he said into her hair. Mimi laughed.
"You jerk!" she scolded half heartedly. "What a stupid way to propose!" she said, her voice muffled because her face was dug into his neck. Tai frowned.
"But…" he mumbled. Mimi pulled back and cradled his face in her hands.
"Yes, it was perfect, you're perfect, and I'm sorry, I was immature," Mimi smiled sweetly, Tai melted with happiness and Mimi leaned down, kissing him softly. Tai burst with joy. Mimi pulled back, beaming. She rested her head on his forehead and held up the ring.
"Put it on for me?" she asked. Tai grinned and slipped the ring onto her finger, it fit perfectly. Mimi gazed at it lovingly. Tai looked at her shining face. He leaned up and kissed her forehead.
"I love you," he mumbled. Mimi sighed and hugged him tightly.
"I love you too,"
Mimi for Dinner
Tai dug his shoe into the forest floor, kicking up some dirt and he trudged on. He looked around, getting a little fed up. The Digital World's forests all looked the same; it was hard to find anything in this place.
He had been sent out by the others to find something edible for them all to eat. The seven kids had long already eaten any junk food they had stored in their backpacks. Tai shivered slightly as the breeze rushed passed him, giving him goose bumps. Tai rubbed his arms lightly, scanning the trees and ground for any food. Suddenly a whine echoed behind him and Tai groaned.
"Wahhh, this place is cold and dirty and we've been walking for hours, let's just go baaack," Mimi wailed. Tai frowned and turned around to face the grumpy pink clad girl.
"Mimi, we've been walking for five minutes and we were sent to find food so we'll be coming back with food," Tai said firmly. Mimi scrunched her face in disgust and stuck her tongue out at him. Tai did the same back and turned away from her to keep walking. She was silent for about a minute until she began shooting off complaints again; Tai tried his best to tune her out, covering his ears with his hands in the process. Just as he was about to spin around and give Mimi a mouthful he looked up and spotted a bundle of yellow high above. His face lit up and it was like the heavens opened up and shone down on him.
"Bananas!" Tai yelled pointing up towards the ripe bundle of bananas in a nearby tree. Mimi stopped talking and quickly looked up to where Tai pointed.
"Oh! Perfect!" she cheered raising her hands in the air gleefully, her energy seeming to return in a sudden zap. Tai grinned widely.
"Great! There's enough there for everyone!" Tai said triumphantly. Mimi laughed happily but then stopped, lowering her hands.
"But wait, Tai how're you going to get them? They're so high!" Mimi frowned, looking up at the bananas. Tai scoffed waving his hand.
"Oh please, tree climbing is a cinch for me, I never fall down, just watch I'll get those bananas in one go!" Tai said confidently and jogged up to the base of the tree. Mimi perked up. Tai swung his arms around the tree and began to shimmy up the trunk. He swung his leg around the closest branch and used it to pull himself up. He then stepped from branch to branch until he was high enough to get the bananas.
Mimi wandered underneath, looking up to watch his progress. She began tapping her foot impatiently.
"Hurry up Tai! I'm not getting any younger down here," Mimi snapped. Tai rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah," he muttered. He scooted up as close as he could get to the fruit. It was actually a lot bigger than he thought. But it was still plenty enough to feed everyone which was great! Tai wrapped his arms around the banana bunch and ripped it off the branch. He held it out and shouted down.
"Okay I'm gonna toss 'em down to you okay! Catch them, they're a little heavy so watch out," Tai called. Mimi looked up.
"What?" she called. But it was too late, Tai let go if the bunch and they plummeted down to Mimi. Once she saw them coming towards her she panicked.
"Oh! Ohooohohohohohohohhhhh!" she yelled frantically and held her arms out. Once she thought she was in perfect range for catching them she cringed and closed her eyes, looking away and her arms outstretched. They landed with a heavy thump, dragging her down with their wait. She landed hard on the ground, her ankle twisting underneath her. She cried out in pain and rolled away from the mass of yellow.
Tai gasped, hearing her cry out and quickly jumped down the tree as quick as he could. His brain panicked and he landed hard beside Mimi, who was wailing out complaints.
"Oww! My ankle! It's twisted! Thanks a lot Tai I can't walk now! Just what am I supposed to do!" Mimi wailed, tears streaming down her face. Tai bit his lip.
"Gosh I'm real sorry Mimi, I didn't mean to, I thought you'd catch it okay," Tai said, scratching the back of his head.
"Well I'm not okay and it's your fault!" Mimi shot back. Tai slumped down, defeated. He looked at her swelling ankle and her crying face. Guilt washed over him and he mulled over what to do.
Suddenly he got an idea and a boyish grin broke out on his face.
"I got it! Don't worry Mimi!" Tai stood up quickly and leaned over Mimi. She stopped crying and looked at him, wondering what he was going to do. Tai smiled and scooped Mimi up into his arms, holding her bridal style. Mimi's face turned beat red.
"wh-wh-wh-wh-what are you d-doing!" Mimi stuttered, completely flustered. Tai grinned widely.
"I'll carry you back! This way your ankle won't be hurt even more!" Tai explained happily. Mimi blushed even deeper, but didn't complain. Tai scooped up the stem of the banana's in one hand and balanced half of Mimi's body on his forearm. Her shifted her until she was comfortable and began waltzing back in the direction of the campsite. They were silent for awhile before Mimi spoke up.
"You know you didn't have to do this," Mimi mumbled. Tai smiled at her.
"Nah, its okay, besides it is my fault," Tai said shrugging. Mimi frowned.
"But I'm heavy right?"
"Nope, you're as light as a feather Meems," Tai said simply. Mimi perked up.
"Meems?" she wondered. Tai laughed shyly.
"Ah, yeah sorry it just slipped out, but it's a good nickname don't-cha think?" he asked. Mimi looked down and nodded.
"Yeah…"
"Great!" Tai cheered. Mimi fell silent, glancing up to look and Tai's confident face. Suddenly her heart began to thump harder in her chest and her cheeks became redder. He was holding her so tight…
She'd never been held by a boy before…she never imagined she ever would be. His arms weren't like her dad's though; her dad's were strong and muscular. Tai's were thin and a little bony, but still comfortable. No doubt he would gain more muscle as he got older.
She thought, if it was Tai holding her like this, she might not mind so much.
The other five kids waited with their digimon around a fire for their two comrades to return with dinner, mulling over where they were going to go the next day. They all looked over when they heard the sound of cracking sticks coming from behind. Tai appeared from the dark forest with a bright red Mimi cradled in his arms. The other kids looked at them with surprised faces.
Tai laughed his cheeky laugh, "guys!" he called, "I caught us some Mimi for dinner!"
Wanted
Mimi crouched down in front of the bookshelf beside the TV. She crossed her legs and pulled out all the books and albums. She had decided today she was going to re-organize the bookshelf, making sure all the books were alphabetical and the all the albums in chronological order.
She grunted as she stacked all the books and magazines into separate piles and pulled out all of the old photo albums. She paused when she saw the title scrawled on one photo album. A fond smile broke across her lips and her eyes softened.
"Our Wedding," Mimi read aloud. She gingerly opened the cover and gazed at the page of pictures. Pictures of herself clad in white, surrounded by people and flowers filled the album. Bright smiles on everyone's faces and the complete enlightened features on herself and the groom's faces in every shot. She flipped through the pages, memories of that day flooding back. She flipped and stopped on a page that had a picture of the groom beaming with pure joy pack at her. Mimi smiled and lightly stroked the picture.
Just then muscular arms wrapped around her shoulders and a firm chest pressed against her back. Tai snuggled his face into her shoulder and smiled, eyeing what she was gazing at so lovingly.
"Hello," he mumbled. Mimi smiled and shifted herself so she sat in his lap. She melted into his chest and sighed.
"Hey," she murmured back. Mimi continued to flip through the photo album when Tai moved and began kissing her neck. Mimi perked up. Tai smiled against her skin and began to kiss down her shoulder, moving her shirt down so he could access her skin easily. Mimi blushed and a heat began to rise in her stomach. Tai's kisses left and tingling fiery trail and she began to feel a little flustered. Mimi let out a pleasured sigh as Tai nibbled lightly on the sensitive skin just behind her ear. Mimi cocked her head to give him more access, awaiting more.
"Mommy, Mommy!" a child's voice rang out and Tai's heat immediately left, leaving Mimi wanting more. Tai leaned back, grinning mischievously as their youngest son, Mike, wandered into the room. Mike raised an eyebrow at his parents.
"Mommy, why are you sitting in Daddy's lap?" he asked. Mimi quickly composed herself and straightened up.
"It beats sitting on the floor don't you think?" she answered sweetly and picked herself up off of Tai, standing up. Mike cocked his head to the side.
"I guess so," he nodded, satisfied with the answer. Mimi smiled and went over and scooped the child up into her arms.
"So what did you want hm?" she asked. Mike perked up and smiled widely.
"Well, Taichi showed me this cool computer game and I finally beat this one part! I want you to come see okay?" Mike said excitedly. Mimi smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"Oh really? Did you finally beat your brother? This I just have to see!" Mimi said dramatically and carried Mike out of the room. Just before she rounded the corner she glanced back at Tai and smiled. Tai grinned back, silently promising a continuation of their actions later on, long after their sons had fallen asleep.
Mimi couldn't wait.
The Girl in Pink
Tai was surrounded by colorful lights and loud sounds. He was trying his best to teach his then 2 year old sister just how the proper way was to toss a water balloon so you hit the target and win a prize, but she didn't seem to be grasping it all quite yet. He stood over her stroller, just barely reaching the top of the carnival stand to see the balloon targets on the other side. Their parents stood close, but engulfed in their own conversation. Many other kids were trying to win prizes as well but Tai knew the true secret to winning.
Tai sighed as his sister started to drift to sleep again. He looked over at the guy who ran the stall and waved him over. The man cheerfully came over and Tai bought two more balloons to play. His parents had given him 5 dollars to spend and the game cost 1 dollar per two balloons. Once the man left and Tai obtained more balloons he held one out towards his sister, attempting to tell her his secret so she might be able to understand him a little more.
"See, Kari? You need to arch your arm exactly like this, just like this," Tai explained to his drowsy infant sister. She made some sort of bubbling noise which Tai took as a 'yes I understand brother!' and proceeded to continue with his demonstration.
"Then you throw it like this!" Tai said and heaved a throw. The balloon landed square in the target and a triumphant smile broke across Tai's little face. The buzzer went off and the light above Tai's target began to flash wildly.
"ohh! My it seems we have a little winner today!" the stall owner shouted loudly. Tai perked up happily. "And what prize does the big boy want today?"
"Kari, what would you like?" Tai asked his now sleeping sister. She twitched in her sleep and Tai smiled. He turned back to the owner.
"She wants the monkey please!" Tai said loudly, pointing at a flimsy purple monkey hanging high above and out of reach. The man nodded and reached up and grabbed the monkey. He waved it around; showing off to potential customers that someone had won before he finally let it go to Tai's outstretched hands. Tai beamed at his prize.
"Look Kari! How cool is your big brother huh?" Tai laughed giddily. He turned to give the prize to Kari but paused. He gazed around her, finally noticing the mountains of prizes he'd already won for her. There was no room for the monkey. Tai furrowed his eyebrows, what was he going to do with this monkey now? Kari didn't have any room for it.
Just before he contemplated replacing Kari with the toy he turned and noticed a girl beside him gazing longingly at the prizes high above. She looked quite odd actually. She was dressed all in pink from head to toe. Tai thought she'd definitely be easy to spot in a crowd. He glanced from the girl to the toy in his hand. He then got an idea.
She shoved the monkey in front of her face and the girl jumped, surprised by the mass of stuffed purple appearing in front of her. She looked over at Tai innocently.
"Here you go, this is now yours," Tai said simply, and dropped the toy into her arms. The girl blinked a few times before finally breaking out into a wide smile and hugging her new prize with all her might. Tai's mom turned and called to him, saying it was time to leave. Tai nodded and turned to wave.
"Good bye girl in pink!" Tai said, and turned to follow his parents. The girl blushed lightly and watched him leave. Once he disappeared in the crowd she looked down at her monkey and giggled happily, squeezing it again.
"I'm going to treasure you forever! Pinky!" she squealed.
Years Later
Tai lounged on Mimi's bed and looked around bordly as Mimi sorted through possible movies for them to watch that evening. Tai snuggled into Mimi's soft pillows, secretly enjoying being surrounded by her scent. He opened his eyes and noticed a ragged old monkey toy lying beside the pillow. Tai furrowed his eyebrows and sat up, reaching out to hold the monkey.
"Hey, Meems where'd you get this monkey?" Tai asked. Mimi looked over and Tai held up the stuffed animal for her to see. She shrugged.
"Oh, I don't remember, his name is Pinky," Mimi said, smiling shyly. Tai laughed.
"But it's purple," he said, Mimi grinned.
"I've had him forever and for some reason that's just what I call him," she said. Tai looked back to Pinky.
"Hm, weird. I thought I recognized it from somewhere," Tai said, laying the monkey back down beside the pillow and sighing. "pick a movie quick so I can have an excuse to hold you," Tai whined. Mimi blushed.
"Jeez, you're so embarrassing, just for that I'll take extra long," Mimi grinned. Tai gasped.
"Waahhhh nooo!" he wailed. Mimi smiled.
"Dork."
