Yoshino and Mimi were walking up to the cafe, she made in the school called Daters. Mimi flinch a little bit and didn't move from her spot. Yoshino put her hand on Mimi's shoulder assuring her that, no matter what happens in there; she'll always be there by her side. Yoshino placed her hand on the door about to push it open when something very bright caught the corner of her eye.
"Mimi-san, Yoshino-san!" Meiko said.
"What did I say about calling me San?" Yoshino said turning around facing the girl in her uniform.
"You both came!" Meiko cheered with a smile on her face.
"Meimei! Your outfit!" Mimi said with a shocked tone staring at the girl's outfit that she design.
"W...well since we already made it." Meiko said starting to freak out.
"That's no reason to..."
Mimi was cut off by Meiko by saying, "Just... I want to wear it!" Which caused Mimi to become shocked at her friend. "Since we went to the dress stores and worked on the designed together... I mean, the design was really yours! Finding fabric, sewing it... it was Sora-san and Yoshino-san at the sewing machine. As you said, I felt 'happy'!" This made Mimi feel happy as well that no one gave up on her just yet. "I thought about your cafe making everyone happy... would be possible in this outfit. So.." This was when Mimi hugged Meiko and thanked her and Meiko started to freak out again.
"I was right. You look so cute! I shouldn't have said I wouldn't wear it." Mimi said with a smile on her face. Yoshino smiled a little bit to seeing one of her friends happy, that was the one thing that brought her joy to her life.
"About that..." Meiko said making Yoshino's eyes widen and she turned around but Mimi grabbed her arm pulling her towards the girls bathroom.
"Yoshi, you'll look so cute in this outfit." Mimi said and she looked at both girls seeing them with an evil smile on their lips making Yoshino struggle to get free from Mimi's grasp.
"Yoshino come on out!" Mimi said.
"Never gonna happen. I look stupid." Yoshino said but Mimi open the door seeing Yoshino sitting down on the floor on her phone playing a game.
Mimi walked towards her and grabbed her arm pulling her up and walked towards the cafe. Yoshino got loose and ran off making both girls sigh running after her. Yoshino pasted Sora, Yamato and Taichi she didn't stop for a second and she hide behind a corner hoping Mimi wouldn't find her. But she forgot about Mimi's determination and she found Yoshino.
"Mimi, let me go. I look ridiculous." Yoshino said.
Mimi kept pulling her, "I'm going to prove to you that you don't look ridiculous." Mimi said and she walked up to the others. "Taichi!" Taichi turned around seeing Mimi tugging Yoshino towards them. Yoshino was trying so hard to have Mimi let her go but alas Mimi didn't let her go. The two were standing in front of the three. "Taichi-san, can you tell Yoshi that she looks nice?" Mimi asked him and he looked up at her. His eyes widen and a blush spread across his cheeks. "Well?"
"You look very beautiful Yoshi." Taichi said looking at the ground and this made Yoshino blush making her look away as well.
"I told you to say she looks nice." Mimi teased him.
"Yoshi, you look very nice." Yamato and Sora both said.
"T-thank you." Yoshino stuttered.
Mimi, Sora and Yamato all three gasped in shock, they never heard Yoshino stutter before not even when she was embarrassed. Mimi suddenly hugged Yoshino out of nowhere, "That was so cute!" and that made Yoshino relax a little bit and roll her eyes at them. "I bet Taichi thought it was cute too." Mimi whispered to her making her blush again.
"C-can w-we go now?" Yoshino asked Mimi and she did not respond making Yoshino sigh and began walking away.
"Don't worry Taichi when you come to the cafe, I'll make sure Yoshino is your personal waitress." Mimi told Taichi with a smile. He didn't say anything but Taichi walked away from them.
"Mimi-chan, don't push those two so much" Sora said.
"But they like like each other. I just want them to be happy." Mimi said.
"We all do." Yamato said making both girls look at him shocked.
All the digimon were in Koshiro office eating the food that was around them.
"Palmon, are your wounds okay?" Agumon asked her, while munching on his food.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Palmon said.
"You did really great. Try this too." Tentomon said giving Palmon some donuts.
"Much obliged." Palmon said kindly.
Patamon went towards Palmon holding pocky in his little paws, "And this too." Patamon said offering her a delicious treat.
"Much obliged." Palmon said with a smile on her face.
"Senpai, you're a marvel!" Meicoomon said smiling as well, complimenting Palmon.
"Mei-chan was amazing too!" Biyomon compliment her.
"Yeah! You really went at Ogremon." Palmon said.
"I heard you did great." Gatomon said.
"And no one got hurt!" Spadamon smiled at her.
"Not bad for a rookie in the field." Lunamon and Coronamon said in unison.
"Coming from those three means you did amazing." Gomamon said.
"They don't usually compliment people." Gabumon said and the three didn't say anything about that.
Meicoomon blushed at the compliments, "Thank you guys."
Koshiro got a text message from Joe asking if Gomamon was with any of them. "Gomamon?"
"Yes?" Gomamon replied.
"It's Joe senpai, asking if you're here." Koshiro said.
"Joe?" Gomamon asked.
"You came without telling him?" Koshiro asked him.
"...yeah." Gomamon sighed.
"Okay, I'll let him know you're here." Koshiro said going on his phone.
Gomamon began to freak out having his paws up in a motion telling Koshiro to stop. "Don't tell him!"
"Joe senpai will worry." Koshiro said.
"Please." Gomamon asked with a sad expression on his face.
"But..."
Tentomon cut Koshiro off before he could finish his sentence, "Just let it be, Koshiro. Gomamon has a lot going on himself. Can we let him have his way for now?"
Koshiro understood what Tentomon was trying to tell him. Koshiro agreed not to tell Joe and texted him that Gomamon was not with him.
Yoshino was sitting on the desk seeing Mimi trying to pull Meiko to get up and do the job with them. "I... can't. I can't do it." Meiko sob out and Yoshino sighed shaking her head.
"Well I mean if Meiko can't do it then we can't do it without her." Yoshino said standing up. "I'll go change." Yoshino ran up to the door.
"Yoshino, we're doing this get away from the door." Mimi said and Yoshino put her head down walking towards her.
Meiko kept repeating that she couldn't do it. "What are you saying? You want to make everyone happy, right?" Mimi pulled Meiko from her spot having Meiko shriek.
"Opening time!" One of their classmates said opening the door.
"Good morning!" everyone said except Meiko and Yoshino. Meiko was on the ground balled up and Yoshino didn't say anything.
Mimi grabbed Meiko pulling her up and grabbing Yoshino's wrist before she could get away. "C'mon, you say it too."
"Good m-achoo." Meiko sneezed.
"Good morning." Yoshino deadpanned.
"Like you mean it. C'mon, Yoshino please." Mimi pleaded.
"Good morning." Yoshino said with a smile on her face.
The girls were busy taking everyone's order and greeting the guest. Mr. Nishijima and Himekawa walked into the cafe.
"Hi, is there room for us." Mr. Nishijima asked the girls.
"Hello!" Mimi greeted the two before calling out Meiko. "Meimei, table for two!"
Meiko walked up to the two feeling a little nervous... well a lot nervous. "I... I'll lead you to y... your seats." She stuttered out. Himekawa laughed at Meiko, "I'm sorry."
Mimi went over towards Meiko and gave her a side hug. "But her bashful style is getting her a lot of fans!"
"S...Stop it!" Meiko choked out.
Yoshino walked away from the people at the table and she look directly at Himekawa. 'Somethings off about her. I just can't put my finger on it.' Yoshino thought to herself. All of a sudden her head started hurting and she grabbed onto the desk. She looked down seeing her hands fade to a dark purple.
Flashback:
Yoshino was sitting on the floor in Koshiro's office when Leomon walked up to her and she looked up as he gestured towards the balcony. Yoshino stood up dusting herself off first and went towards the balcony. Leomon was out with her a few moments later, "Were you trying to contacted me the other day?"
"Yes." Leomon said.
"Why?" she asked him with her body facing the doors.
"To warn you."
"Warn me about what?" she didn't understand what was going on but she was going to find out.
"What ever this infection is, it wants you." Leomon said and she looked away tightening her grip on the bars.
"Why can't I just be normal like a regular teenager. Hang out with my friends, go out with the guy I happen to like but no it's always something. I just want to be human for once in my life." Yoshino said with tears streaming down her face.
"I'm sorry." Leomon said.
"It's not your fault." Yoshino told him. "I was just born this way. I can't even tell my best friend or any of my friends because I'm trying to protect them. They all think I'm human again."
"You're going to have to tell them." Leomon said.
"I can't."
"You can't or you won't."
"Is there really a difference at this point?" Yoshino turned towards him. "How exactly am I going to explain that I'm half digimon and human? Huh. How am I going to tell my mom and dad, Hanabi, Takeru, Hikari, Sora, Joe, Yamato, Mimi, Meiko, are digimon and how am I going to tell Taichi." She sob out letting the tears come out. "I don't want to lose them."
"And you won't. If they're still the same way as you described them then they'll help you through this." Leomon said and she hugged him as she still cried her eyes out.
Yoshino snapped out of it and she touch her cheeks feeling it wet. She wiped her eyes and walked away only to hear that sound. "Yoshino showtime." Mimi said and she nodded. Yoshino realized, she didn't know how much time she had with her friends and famiy, 'I'm gonna make the most of it.' Yoshino thought and went towards her. Mimi handed her purple pom poms and they both smiled at each other. Mimi, Meiko and Yoshino all three began doing the dance that they had choreographed together.
"I wish Izumi was here to see this." Mr. Nishijima said. Himekawa took a picture of Mimi sending it to Koshiro.
Koshiro suddenly left in a rush leaving all of the digimon in his office.
"The school's festival is the one at Taichi's school, right?" Agumon asked.
"Yamato's band is playing at it too!" Gabumon said.
"Sounds fun. I wish we could go." Patamon said.
"We should go too!" Agumon declared.
"But Koshiro isn't even here." Tentomon told them. All of the digimon turned their heads towards Leomon and he looked at them with a weird look. Patamon got in the air and was the only one to speak up right now, "Leomon! Take us there!"
"Me?" Leomon said with a shocked expression. All of the digimon were on him begging him to take them to the festival. Meicoomon was the one who actually got to Leomon into taking all of them to the festival.
Koshiro walked into the cafe and Mimi turned around seeing her friend. "Oh! Koshiro-kun. Hey." Mimi said with a smile. Koshiro looked at Mimi's outfit and started to freak out because he like the way she looked. "What's with the outfit?"
"I..Is there something wrong with it?" Koshiro asked her, not wanting to disappoint her with his appearance. Little did they both know Yoshino was watching the whole thing and an evil smile appeared upon her lips.
Mimi took a closer look studying his clothing. "I guess it's fine. Table for one?" Mimi asked him.
"For three please." Takeru said walking into the cafe with Hikari.
"Takeru-kun. Hikari-chan." Koshiro said.
"I think they know who they are." Someone said making Koshiro turn around slowly.
"Yoshino! What are you doing here?" Koshiro said.
"Besides not getting paid for this, I'm working." Yoshino said with a smile. Koshiro glared at her which she just laughed at him walking away.
"May we sit with you?" Hikari said snapping Koshiro out of his glare.
"Absolutely!" Koshiro said.
"Come on in!" Mimi said before calling out for Meiko and Yoshino. "Table for three. Meimei, Yoshi, show them to their seats."
"We don't have to get Yoshino." Koshiro said and he felt someone jump on his back but he caught whoever it was on time.
"No fair." He heard his best friend say and got off of him.
"Right this way please." Meiko said putting the three at their table. Yoshino walked away to another table.
"Mochizuki-san, that outfit really suits you." Takeru compliment her.
"Wha? I... I'm not... That's.." Meiko said.
"Let me take a picture." Takeru said taking his phone out and put his camera on. Before he took the photo Meiko began to freak out again and Takeru took her picture and she had a cute pose. "So cute." Takeru smiled.
"Takeru-kun! What about me, huh. Me!" Mimi said angrily.
"It's cute on you too!" Takeru smiled at her.
"Too? What do you mean, 'too'" Mimi said.
"Relax, Mimi. He means that you look cute as well." Yoshino said walking up to the group. "Right Koshiro?" He looked up at his best friend seeing her with an evil smirk on her lips.
"R-Right!" Koshiro stuttered out.
"See Mimi, Koshiro said your cute." Yoshino stated. Koshiro blushed even more then he already was. Yoshino went down towards his face and whispered something in his ear making him spit out his water as he began to cough. Yoshino left giggling to herself.
Leomon got the other digimon into the festival and they all scattered away from Leomon. They all hide under a table look at a chef making some food for the people at the festival.
"What smells?" Gatomon said.
"Looks so good." Agumon said about to start drooling.
"I want to eat it!" Patamon said staring at the food.
"You can't, not without money." Biyomon told them.
"Do you have money?" Agumon asked them.
"No money. Flat broke." Tentomon said.
"And with all this food!" Palmon said.
An announcer began to speak up, "Step right up for the Creepy-Cute Costumes Contest!" All of the digimon turned their heads towards the man holding up the sign. "The winner can eat anything served at the school festival for free!"
"'For free'?" Agumon said questionably.
"It means you don't need money." Gabumon said.
All the digimon stood there for a couple of seconds until realizing that was the only way to get free food. "Coronamon, can't join." Kudamon and Lunamon both said in unison.
"Yes, I can!" Coronamon said.
"Coronamon, if you don't win you get really mad." Lunamon said.
"Do not!" Coronamon argued.
"Monopoly." Kudamon said.
"He owed me money. You can't just land on something I own and not paid me. And I won first."
"You got bankrupt first." Spadamon said.
"No, I didn't!" Coronamon said and his flame on his tail grew bigger. He took a deep breath and his flame shrunk. "I promise I won't freak out."
"Fine." The three said.
Yoshino walked out of the cafe taking her hair out of the ponytail and she walked down the hall only to see Taichi and Yamato arguing. Well just Yamato arguing and Taichi just staring at him and talking calmly. Yamato walked away from him and Yoshino caught up to Taichi.
"Hey." She said.
"What's up?" Taichi asked her.
"I'm going to your soccer game." Yoshino smiled at him.
"It's practice." Taichi told her.
"So, let's go." Yoshino said pulling him with her to the field.
"Don't you have to go back to the cafe?" Taichi asked her.
"Mimi gave me twenty minutes off." Yoshino said and she grabbed him by his shirt pulling him forward. "Why don't you want me going?"
"N-no reason." Taichi stuttered out.
Yoshino arched her eyebrow staring at him. "I don't believe that. I haven't really gotten into a sport here. I wanna go try out for soccer." Yoshino let him go and ran off.
"Yoshino! No! Get back here!" Taichi shouted running after her but she ran into the girls locker room. She came out the locker room in her gym uniform. She ran past him only for him to grab her by her wrist and pushing her against the wall. "You're not trying out."
"Aw, afraid I'll out rank you." Yoshino smirked at him.
"Doubtful. You haven't played in years." Taichi taunted her.
"Can take away skill." Yoshino said.
"What skill would I take away." Taichi smirked at her seeing her face become shocked then an anger expression formed on her face.
"Yagami!" someone shouted out and the two turned their heads to the left seeing one of his teammates standing a few feet away from them. "Uh... s-sorry... I'll c-come back later." He ran away from the two and they both sighed. Yoshino kneed Taichi in the gut running away. She wasn't fast enough when Taichi grabbed her ankle.
"Ow, Ow that hurts." Yoshino said holding her knee. Taichi looked at her seeing tears in her eyes and he had hurt her.
"Yoshino. I'm sorry I didn't mean to." he said going up towards her. Then he seen her smirk and grab his putting him under her.
"Gotta be smarter then that." Yoshino smiled at him. Taichi began to blush and she looked at his face. "What's wrong?"
"Y...you..your kind... of um." Taichi stuttered out and she got what he was saying and she let him sit up with her still on him. The two laughed at each other and smiled. Taichi took her hand in his make Yoshino blush this time. "I missed this."
"Me too." Yoshino told him. Taichi move a piece of hair from her face and she smiled then stop. She grabbed both of his hands in hers. "I need to tell you something. Something, I've been hiding from all of you."
"Whatever it is, you can tell me." Taichi said and she nodded taking a deep breath.
"Taichi, Yoshino. We need to leave the school the stage is on fire." a student told them and the two stood up.
"How?" Yoshino asked.
"One of the constants in the Creepy-Cute Costume Contest lost and he got mad." the student said running off.
"Coronamon." Taichi said.
"Coronamon?" Yoshino said.
"Yeah, him and others snuck in here." Taichi said.
"We have to go now." Yoshino said and the two found fire extinguishers and ran towards the stage seeing Coronamon lighting it on fire.
"We told you, he gets likes this." Lunamon and Kudamon both sighed.
Few moments before:
"Now, after a hard-fought battle, we announce the Creepy-Cute Costume that seized the top prize! And the winner is Meicoo-chan!" Meicoomon got up to the platform about to receive her medal until Coronamon burst into flames enlightening the stage.
"RUN! HE'S GOT A FLAMETHROWER!" One person in the crowd shouted out and everyone began to run away.
Taichi and Yoshino began to spray the stage with their fire extinguisher. The fire was gone but Coronamon was still fuming and Yoshino sprayed him cooling Coronamon off. Yoshino walked up to him getting some foam off of him. "I think you should have won too." Yoshino told him giving him a kiss on his head then hugged him. Coronamon hugged her back.
"I want a hug too!" Spadamon yelled out running towards them.
"Me too!" Lunamon shouted out running towards them. Yoshino smiled hugging all three of her digimon.
