Part 6 - Lover’s Romance
I put my blue sweater on the ground and lay upon it, staring at
the sky. I thought of T.K. and how I felt guilty and I also
thought of the happiness to see Gabumon soon. Mimi crept into
my mind and I couldn’t help but smile at her cuteness and
outgoing personality. *I wonder what harm that prophecy meant?*
“So, what are you thinking of?” Mimi asked as she lay her
sweater beside me a sat down.
I sat up and stared into her eyes. “I’m not thinking of that
many things. I’d rather do actions.”
I reached down and pressed my lips softly against hers and more
harder as time passed. Her arms went around my neck as I lay
her down on the sweaters. I pulled away from her lips and
stared into her eyes before slowly kissing her neck. I put my
hand on her side, creeping its way up to the bottom of her tube
top. She pulled my blue turtleneck off and threw it beside her
just as I pulled her top over her head. I stared down at her
strapless bra before I kissed her chest. Slowly she lifted her
back so I could reach down and undo the hook. Very slowly she
unhooked my belt and my button on my pants. I could feel her
tense up as I began to unbutton her shorts. I stopped
momentarily, seeing if she wanted to stop, but she proceeded on
just like before. We kissed more passionately, lying half naked
on the beach.
Mimi stopped for a second, “I’m happy we can finally finish
what we started the night we came back here and at Gennai’s
house.”
I agreed by giving her a kiss, then went on. In the darkness
of the night, we had no idea who was watching us.
***************************************
*Sora, you’ll never go to sleep unless if you talk to Mimi.* I
got up to find Mimi missing. She must not have been able to
sleep either, I’ll go find her. I headed for the beach to see
if Mimi was there. Quietly, I approached from behind some
bushes only to see two people. *Oh my gosh! That is Matt and
Mimi and they’re half naked.* I watched to see Matt start
sliding Mimi’s shorts off. *I better go. This is none of my
business. I guess they’re two of the four who are lying. Wait
a second, I am another one of the four. So who is the fourth?*
***************************************
Part 7 - Morning After
“Morning Tai,” I said waking up at the same time as him.
“He Sora. I guess none of the others are up,” Tai said as he
glanced around, “Hey, where’s Matt and Mimi?”
“Putting on a fake smile I lied, “I am not sure.”
I could hear giggling in the distance towards the beach. From
around the bushes where I was last night, Matt and Mimi came
striding smiling.
“Hey where were you two so early this morning?” Tai asked
casually trying to get the fire going.
Matt came to help Tai and responded, “I fell asleep on the
beach last night and when I woke up, I found Mimi not too far
away washing her face.”
I could tell Tai didn’t see the glance between Mimi and Matt,
but I sure did. Matt looked up with me and I turned away.
“Morning Sora. You’re sure quiet today. Why don’t we start
dancing again this morning?”
“I’m not in the mood,” I said coldly. Mimi didn’t seem to
notice, but Matt did.
“I can see what you mean. It’s pretty cold. That reminds me,
where did I leave my sweater?”
“I’m not sure, maybe you left it on the beach.” I said coolly.
Again Mimi didn’t notice my attitude, but Matt did.
“Come on Mimi. I’ll help you find it. I believe my harmonica
fell out of my sweater pocket,” Matt said giving me a glare and
pulling Mimi along.
“There, all finished. Hey what were we talking about and where
are Matt and Mimi going?” Tai asked quizzically.
******************************************
As soon as we were out of sight, Mimi began to kiss me, sliding
her tounge into my mouth. I slowly pushed away and stared hard
at Mimi.
“What is wrong?” She asked picking up her sweater and my
harmonica. She handed me my harmonica.
I clutched it thinking of what to say. “Mimi, I think Sora
might know.”
“What are you talking about? Sora doesn’t know anything about
us.”
“I’m not so sure about that. She keeps giving us weird looks
and didn’t you notice how coldly she was acting toward you?”
“Oh Matt! It’s probably that ‘monthly time’. Mine is in two
weeks so don’t expect me to be this happy.”
I rolled my eyes, “I’m serious Mimi.”
“Fine, if you really think so I’ll check with a special
technique.” She hugged me and gave me a short kiss on the
cheek, “Let’s go back for some breakfast.”
******************************************
Part 8 - Reunion
*I wonder if Matt is right. Now that I notice it, Sora either
doesn’t look at me or gives me short glares.* I wasn’t sure
what to do so I continued being cheerful for two weeks.
“Tai, can we stop? I am starting to sweat plus I have major
cramps.”
“Oh Mimi, too much information.”
“Well, I have the Crest of Sincerity so I have to be sincere
and honest.”
Sora looked up at me and looked as if she was going to burst
into anger. I turned away. *If only everyone knew the truth.
I am probably one of the causes to the Digital World. I am
probably the main cause. I wish I had cramps, but for some
reason it hasn’t come yet, even though it was supposed to
yesterday.* I glanced over at Matt who smiled, again I turned
away. I don’t deserve him or the Crest of Sincerity.
“Okay, you have convinced me. Let’s stop and have some food.”
Tai said, his stomach speaking to him.
“Hey guys, I hear something,” Joe said sticking his hand to
his ear.
“I do too!” Replied T.K. and Kari in unison.
“Well, our Digital friends aren’t too far away. Hey they’re
closer than I thought. They should come in twenty point nine
seconds.” Izzy theorized.
“T.K.” Patamon came around a bush and into his arms.
Following Patamon, Gatomon and Gommamon came around the bush
and to their Digidestined.
“Gatomon!”
“Gommamon!”
“Hey, wait for us!” Cried Agumon and Biyomon who cam next.
“Agumon!”
“Biyomon!”
“Izzy,” Izzy ran to his digimon, “Izzy your choking me!”
“Mimi,” Palmon cried running to my arms.
“Matt!” Gabumon came to hug Matt.
“Gabumon, I missed you so much.”
Now that our digimon were here with us again, everyone felt a
bit safer. I took my lunch and sat by Sora who was away from
the group.
“Sora, what’s wrong?”
“Mimi, don’t pull that lie with me. Your supposed to be my
best friend and have the Crest of Sincerity. Sincerity means to
be honest, which is not what your doing while sneaking around
with Matt. I wouldn’t be surprised if you got pregnant!” Sora
said her voice shaking.
“You know? Matt was right, you knew we slept together?”
“Yeah I do know. Sora I need your help. I’m so sorry I didn’t
tell you or the others, but we wanted a private relationship.
It makes me frustrated knowing that the Digital World is in
danger because of Matt and I, but is it fair to want a
relationship private, but not be able too? It is not like I am
lying, we just don’t talk about it. I wouldn’t call this lying,
or would you?”
“I’m sorry Mimi. I had no idea you felt this strongly about
your relationship. You’re right, you aren’t really lying, just
not telling everyone.” Sora said with tears in her eyes.
I hugged her, “Sora I need your help. Listen I am pre-”
“Ah T.K.!”
We looked back to find Okuwamon heading for us.
“Mimi, get down!” Sora yelled pushing me to the ground.
“Sora, it’s coming back!” I yelled.
I closed my eyes to find a whoosh over my head as Garurumon
jumped over us and went to fight Okuwamon. Togemon and
Birdramon came out next to fight. We were winning! Three
Champions taking down one Ultimate was really simple.
Okuwamon turned towards the Digidestined, “My master will kill
the liar and soulmate.” With those words, he dissolved into
data.
Sora got up and helped me next we walked over to the
Digidestined to find everyone in a circle staring at one
another.
T.K. was the first to break the silence by asking, “Kari how
bad is your ankle?”
“I am fine T.K.” Kari reassured as she sat on a rock. The
circle of Digidestined had Matt standing between Tai and Joe;
Joe between Matt and T.K.; T.K. between Joe and Kari; Kari
between T.K. and Sora; Sora between Kari and Mimi; Mimi between
Izzy and Sora; Izzy between Tai and Mimi; and Tai between Izzy
and Matt.
We all stared long and hard, each wondering who the liars are.
*****************************************
Part 9 - The Truth
“We should find the four liars and try to protect them.” Matt
concluded.
*Everyone is going to find out. I can’t keep this in any
longer. I have to tell them. What if Matt gets mad at me? No,
I have to do this! Our crests are in too much trouble. It is
all our fault the Digital World is in trouble.*
I fell down to the ground on my knees and began to sob.
Everyone turned to me. “What is wrong Mimi?” Sora asked
trying to cover me up.
“It is me! I am the liar! I am pre- pre- pregnant!”
Everyone gasped. I cried even louder to escape the surprised
sounds.
“Mimi!” Tai said coming up to her, “How dare you keep this
from us. You shouldn’t have come to the Digital World if you
knew you were pregnant. It is too dangerous!”
“It happened here!”
********************************************
I stared at Mimi in disbelief as she sobbed harder by the
second while Tai was yelling and Sora comforting.
“You’re right Matt, “T.K. said coldly, “And why don’t you start
by telling us the truth and be straightforward with the it.”
I stared back at T.K. in shock with the whole groups eyes
facing me.
I glanced at Mimi who seemed to be fighting back tears. She
looked up and nodded and started to cry again.
“Matt tell them!” T.K. yelled, obviously everyone knew T.K was
upset.
“T.K...”
“Be quiet Matt and just tell them,” T.K. said with pain in his
eyes.
I took one more look at Mimi, “Mimi....”
I looked to see everyone urging me to continue.
“Mimi and I have been dating for almost a year. We have been
sneaking around and haven’t told anybody anything,” I confessed
turning to T.K., “How did you know?”
“Does that really matter? Is that all you care about, or do
you not even care about me?” T.K. asked.
“Matt!” Tai yelled, “Why would you go out with Mimi if she was
pregnant?”
“Tai your so dense! Do you not have any brains?”
At that, Mimi got up and ran through the trees.
“Mimi come back,” Sora yelled running after her.
“Mimi!” I yelled starting to after her, but didn’t get to far
because T.K. ambushed me.
We fell to the ground, I was face first. I tried to push him
off, but he continued to hold.
“T.K., get off of me!” I screamed.
“Tai help me!” T.K. called, asking for help.
Tai, Joe and T.K. shoved me against a tree.
“Tell them the whole truth!” T.K. screamed, tears in his eyes.
I looked at Tai and Joe’s uneasy faces and then traveled my
eyes to Kari and Izzy who were trying not to be part of this.
“Matt did you get Mimi pregnant?” Tai asked. I nodded
shamefully as T.K., Joe, and Tai let go of me. I fell to the
ground.
“Matt, how could you do this to the team? When did this
happen? Who is the other one that knows?”
“It is none of your business when this happened and Sora is the
other person who knows,” I said, slightly frustrated, “Now let
me go find Mimi.”
“Yeah it matters! That way we can figure out how long she has
been pregnant and have her be protected,” Tai said, trying to
persuade me to tell him.
“Fine. It happened the night we left Gennai’ house, okay?”
I started to walk towards the bushes, a quicker pace per step.
I didn’t get to far when T.K. screamed. Next thing I knew, T.K.
was on top of me.
“T.K. get off of me, I have to go find Mimi!”
“No! Is that all you care about? Don’t you even care about me
anymore?” With that statement he got off of me and stood up,
not making any eye contact.
“Of coarse I do, but I have to find Mimi,” I said turning to
face T.K.
Suddenly, T.K.’s hand went into a fist as he brought it up and
punched me on my cheek.
“That is for making a fool of me!” He yelled pushing me to the
ground and punching me. “This is for making my crest
worthless.”
He punched me again harder, but before he could do it again,
Joe pulled him off. Tai walked towards me and reached his hand
out. I took his hand, not losing the unsurely eye contact I had
with him. T.K. got loose of Joe and went running the opposite
direction Mimi had.
“I would go after him Matt. Sora can handle Mimi,” Izzy said,
sharing his opinion.
I took Izzy’s advice and ran towards T.K. did. I found myself
in a small clearing with trees and bushes surrounding it.
Surprisingly, T.K. was sitting on the ground, his face between
his hands.
“T.K.”
He looked up at me with tears in my eyes. “What do you want
Matt? I ran away so you could go find your precious Mimi.”
“T.K., you’re really important to me too. I don’t understand
why you of all people, would be the most upset at me.”
T.K.’s look of sadness went to anger, “You don’t get it do you?
You made a fool out of me!”
“What do you mean I made a fool out of you?”
“I always looked up to you and since a year ago I have found it
hard because I knew you were lying. I understand that you fell
in love with Mimi, but I can’t believe you lied to me. My hope
has started to leave me because of my hope for you is lost.
That night I was going to kiss Kari you said that you didn’t
want me to make any mistakes. You contradicted yourself because
you did what you didn’t want me to do, the very next week. I
was so scared that night.”
“Why were you scared the night I was with Mimi?”
“I wasn’t scared that night, but the night when you weren't in
our room. I woke up to find you missing and I was really
scared. I went to see if Gennai knew your where about. He
didn’t know, but said he would go find you and told me to go
back to bed.”
“You were awake that night?”
For the first time that day, a smile crept onto T.K.’s face as
he said, “You actually think Gennai would have waken up by a few
creaks. When I went to get him up, I practically had to roll
him off the bed.”
“T.K., I’m really sorry you have been forced to lie and now
your crest is in danger, but look on the bright side, at least
it is not as bad as mine.”
T.K.’s face went solemn and ran to hug me. I wrapped my arms
around T.K. as he whispered, “Matt what are you going to do?”
For the first time since I found out that Mimi is pregnant, it
actually sunk in. *I was going to be a teen father. What am I
going to do? I’ll have to get a job, quit my band, and then
quit school to get a job. My life is over.*
T.K. asked, “Matt why did you be with Mimi in the first place?
Don’t you pay attention in school about safety or just plain
waiting till your ready?”
“I can’t think why I did it.”
T.K. saw my face sink, “Don’t worry Matt. I am sure we will
think of something.”
I put on a fake smile, one that T.K. could see right through
and concluded,“Of coarse.”
“Help us!” A voice came into the clearing.
