Chapter 3

Joe ran around his house hectically trying to organise everything for Mimi's surprise welcome home party. He had put up banners saying 'welcome home' and had bought plastic plates and cutlery which was sitting on the table spread he had made and now all he needed was Yoli and the food she promised to take from her family's shop.

The doorbell rang and Joe shouted come in as he didn't have enough time to go answer the door as he tried his best to get everything ready in time for eight o'clock when everyone else would arrive. Yoli walked into the house with Kari both of them with their hands full of bags.

"Thanks Yoli," Joe said, "You got loads of food and drink there,"

"I know, well my dad told me to take as much as I liked so I did," Yoli laughed.

"If you two won't mind could you take the food out the bags and put it out on plates and display it neatly on the table," Joe asked.

"Yeah sure," Kari replied.

"You're very organised and precise Joe," Yoli said.

"I know. I don't throw parties very often so I just want everything to be perfect," Joe said.

"Well you are right there. It will be perfect with all this effort and time you have put into planning it," Kari said surprised by all the party decorations Joe had bought.

"You've done a great job Joe," Yoli said as she poured some sweets into a bowl.

Joe was still running around his house making sure everything was perfect just as someone knocked at his door.

"I'll get it Joe," Yoli offered as she answered the door, where Tai, Davis, Ken, Sora and Cody were standing outside waiting to get in.

"Wow," Sora said as she walked in and looked around, "You've done a really good job Joe. I love the welcome home banners". Sora said as she seen the huge banner on the wall which was the first thing anyone coming in would see.

"Mimi is going to love all of this," Davis said as he took a seat.

"Who we waiting for now then?" Cody asked.

"Just TK and Matt because Izzy is coming with Mimi so he is going to text me to say when they are nearly here and we can all hid and then jump out to surprise her," Tai said.

There was another knock at the door and this time it was Matt and Tk.

"Good to see you Matt," Tai said.

"Good to see you too," Matt replied.

"It will be great for the whole group just to hang out for once," TK said as he went over and sat with Davis and Ken.

Sora was really happy to see Matt as she hadn't seen him in a few days but even after he had been there for five minutes, he hadn't even made the effort to say hello.

"Guys there are going to be here in two minutes!" Tai said as he read the text on his phone, "Everyone hide."

Everyone quickly moved to somewhere where they wouldn't be noticed and waited for Izzy and Mimi to arrive. Everyone heard the door handle move and they all got ready for Izzy to put the light on.

"Surprise," they all shouted as Izzy put the light on.

"Oh my God!" Mimi said looking shocked, "I actually love you guys. You didn't have to do this all for me".

"We're all real happy to have you home," Joe smiled.

"So we thought why not throw a party to celebrate the occasion," Davis laughed.

"I think I'm going to cry," Mimi said as she welled up. She was really touched by all the effort that had gone into planning this and felt really grateful for all her friends. It was becoming clear to Mimi that moving home was the best thing her family could have done because she didn't have friends like this in New York.

"Don't cry Mimi, you won't want to mess up your make up," Sora giggled.

"I know, I'm trying not to," Mimi said trying her best to hold back the tears of joy.

Matt finally come over to Sora and asked how she was. Even though Sora was annoyed at Matt she spoke to him normally and she didn't want to ruin tonight for Mimi.

Tai and Izzy were standing at the opposite side of the room. Izzy was talking to Tai but he didn't seem to be listening to a word. Instead he was watching on at Sora and Matt. Tai had always been annoyed at how Sora chose Matt over him and especially now he felt angered because he would never treat Sora the way Matt was right now. Tai knew himself that music was important to Matt just like Soccer was to him, but Tai knew he would never put soccer before Sora. Tai hated how they were together as he and Sora had always had a thing since they met year ago.

What bothered him the most was that Matt was his best friend, well at least he use to be because now Tai never see's him.

"Tai! Tai! Are you listening to me?" Izzy said raising his voice as he tried to get Tai's attention.

"Oh yeah sorry," Tai said as he looked towards Izzy.

"Things seem to be going really well between them two," Izzy said as he noticed Tai was looking at Matt and Sora.

"Yeah they do," Tai said as it looked as though the two of them were having a good time.

Tai was wrong however, it was much the opposite. Sora was trying her best not to be annoyed at Matt and cause a scene but she was finding it difficult to act as if everything was fine.

"What is wrong with you?" Matt asked knowing that there was something up with Sora.

"You never spend any time with me now Matt and it's not right and you never see like Tai or anyone else either. All that you care about is your stupid band!" Sora said as she tried to keep her voice down even though she wanted to shout at him.

"Stupid Band," Matt said repeating Sora, "Is that what you think of it? I thought you were really supportive of my band and my music!" Matt was really offended that Sora thought of his band as stupid when that was something that he was very passionate about.

"I am, but now all you care about is your band. When was the last time me and you went out for a meal or watched a film or even just hung out? I only get to see you when I watch your band perform and sometimes you squeeze in half an hour to see me," Sora replied.

"You know how hard I have worked with this band to try and make it big," Matt said.

Sora was getting frustrated that Matt was failing to listen to her, "You're not listening what about me? Did you not just hear me? When did we last do something together?" Sora was trying her best to emphasis her point.

"Okay we can go out for a meal if you want?" Matt said trying to resolve the problem.

"You don't get it," Sora was becoming more annoyed. It wasn't just a meal she wanted she wanted to really try and sort things out but Matt couldn't see that he was doing anything wrong.

"I do get it you want to hang out more, and I will try and make it work but I have a tight schedule because you know me and the band are performing at loads of local places," Matt replied as he tried to reason with Sora.

"It's not just me though that you need to spend time with there is your friends and your family," Sora said telling Matt that there was more to the problem.

"I know and I will try," Matt said, "Look I don't want to argue with you and I'm sorry I haven't seen much of you recently". Matt hugged Sora as she lent her head on his shoulder and enjoyed the hug as it felt like it had been ages that Matt had last held her in his arms.

The party continued and two hours had passed and all the digidestined's had enjoyed just getting to hang out with each other and have a good time and were even happier that Mimi was home now. Ken had been quiet all night and hadn't joined in with much of the fun.

"Come on Ken get of your seat and join in with the party a bit," Mimi said as she danced to the music.

"No dancing is not really my thing," Ken replied.

"Oh come on, look if Davis can do it so can you," Mimi said as she pulled Davis towards her and tried to encourage Ken to have some fun and join in.

"Come dude," Davis said.

"I think I'm just away to head home now anyway I'm really tired," Ken said as he stood up and put on his jacket.

Davis looked concerned as Ken left he knew there was something wrong with him.

"I guess parties aren't his thing then," Mimi said to Davis.

"I know but I'm worried about him Mimi," Davis replied, "He just seems to keep himself to himself these days and I think there is something bothering him".

"It's cute that you're worried for your friend but remember Ken has never really had any friends before us so he probably is just finding it hard to adjust and I'm sure over time he'll be fine," Mimi smiled.

"I hope so," Davis replied. Davis just wished that Ken would let him in and discuss his feelings with him or any of the other digidestined's so that he didn't always keep it bottled inside.
