The power had been off for about two hours. Mimi was caught in the storm with Taichi. The rain was pouring harder than before. They could hear every single drop coming down. While the fire was burning beside them. It was completely awkward between them. There was many things left unsaid and unfinished. They sat across from each other next to the fire-place. Avoiding any type of eye contact. Mimi was texting her parents where she was and telling them not to worry. Taichi looked over to Mimi while she was texting. "She's probably texting that pretty boy James. I can't stand that loser." He thought as he squeezed his hot coco mug.

"Whose that? Oh great don't tell me it's that pretty boyfriend James." Taichi snapped as he took a sip from his hot coco. Mimi looked up and could tell the idea of James bothered him.

"Why do you hate him so much? He's a great guy." She smiled. Taichi flinched at her comment making his choke. He coughed and gasped for air.

"Wow watch out there." She said giggling.

"I'm fine. Really Mimi? Really I don't know what you see in him. I think that guy likes clothes more than you do." He exclaimed still drinking his coco.

"Now that I think is impossible. No one loves clothes more than I." She said while putting her hands on her chest. Taichi looked at her with narrow eyes.

"More than I?...I don't know why all the girls like him. His so lame."

"Sounds like you are jealous." Mimi smirked.

Taichi gave a loud HA. "Yeah why would someone like me." He exclaimed while placing his hand on his chest and puffing it out. "Be jealous of someone like that?" He smirked.

"Oh I don't know maybe because he is very charming. His boyish good looks. He makes music." She continued as well has counting those very reasons with her fingers. Taichi was annoyed seeing Mimi count on her fingers.

"Wow at that rate you'll be counting on your toes too." He pouted. Mimi covered her mouth with her hand and laughed really hard. " You know you don't have to rub it in my face Mimi. I get it you like the guy." He continued to pout as he hunched over to sip his coco. "Why are you laughing Mimi!?" He asked. She continued. Her laughter made him even more upset. "Ok whatever Mimi." He said. He finished his hot coco and slammed it down on to the floor and wrapped him self in a blanket. She wiped the tears off and gave a loud sigh.

"Wow I haven't laughed that in a while." she smiled. Taichi's head jerked up in interest as he heard her talk.

"You know its pretty awesome that we are here. It's been so long. I've missed this." She said as she gave him a soft smiled. Taichi jumped up so fast his blanket flew off. His cheeks turned pink. He hadn't seen her smile since the summer. He smiled and chuckled. He stared at her. Mimi caught him and couldn't continue to look at him in the eyes. It made her heart race.

"Is there something on my face?" She asked as she looked away . Taichi placed his hand on the side of his left cheek continuing to look at her.

"No, it's just I haven't seen you smile in a long time. I've missed your face." He said lovingly.

"There she is. Just sitting there. She's so cute.. I can't help but want to kiss her...WAIT SHE SAID SHE MISSED ME!" He thought while looking at her.

"You miss me Mimi?" Taichi asked. She blushed. "I mean being friends."

"Oh..." He said sadly. "Yeah friends." He looked down at his empty mug. Taichi looked up at Mimi with desperate eyes. He leaned in closer to her. He snatched her arm causing her to lose her balance. He pulled her in close and wrapped his arms around her. Mimi stood still. She didn't know what was going on. She could hear Taichi's heart. Every single fast beat. She felt the warmth of his body. She hugged him back. He pulled himself back. She closed her eyes and was waiting for a kiss. As he leaned in about to touch her lips when suddenly there was loud banging and yelling at his door. This threw them off and ruined the moment.

Taichi jumped up and told Mimi to stay put. Mimi was a bit nervous. She kept thinking of what if it was robbers taking advantage of the storm. Or evil bikers stealing gold and women. "Taichi be careful of the bikers!" She whispered out.

"Bikers?" He said confused. He walked closer and heard the voices, He knew who it was. He dreaded opening they door. To his dismay it was Yuko and Kei. They were shivering, had beanies and scarfs. They were soaking wet and had running noses. Taichi stood there in complete annoyance." Fuck not these guys."
