"Ungh�" Mimi groaned. "Give me five more hours�" She turned over so that her back was facing Sora.
"Mimi! Don't make me get Matt in here to wake you up! But of course, when we're walking over here, I'm sure the subject of who likes who will come up�" Sora trailed off. Mimi sat up in her bad.
"Okay, okay� I'll get up�" Mimi said, groaning again.
"Why are you so sleepy anyway? You and Matt stay up all night?" She teased. She laughed. "Anyway, I'm going downstairs. See you there." Sora began to walk to the door.
"No�" Mimi trailed off. "Well I'm gonna change. I'll see you downstairs." Sora opened the door.
Mimi grabbed a pair of black pants, and a pink sweater. "By the way," She said. "It wasn't me and Matt. It was the couch."
Later, everyone was downstairs, eating breakfast.
"So," Sora started. "Is everyone ready to go skiing?"
"Well I guess I am," Joe said. "As long as I don't break an arm or something. He said the last part sarcastically.
"Yes, me too," Izzy said, typing away at his computer.
Tai rolled his eyes. "You probably won't get off of you laptop, Izzy," He said, sipping his juice. He pushed his chair away, and stood up. "I'm done. Anyone else?"
Matt pushed his chair away, and so did Mimi. "Yeah, I'm ready." Matt said.
"Me too," Mimi said. The three of them walked outside together, Matt and Mimi ALMOST holding hands.
"We'll meet you outside," Matt called after them, while walking out of the door.
When everyone was outside, with their ski suits and skis on, they boarded the ski lift. Matt and Mimi on one, followed by T.K. and Kari, Joe and Izzy, and Tai and Sora.
"So you scared Mimi?" Matt asked.
"Yeah," Mimi answered shyly.
Matt slipped his hand into hers, and squeezed her hand. "Don't worry," Matt said. "It won't be THAT scary."
Mimi smiled at him. "Yeah�"
"Well, time to get off," Matt said, as the ski lift slowed down. He squeezed her hand again, and jumped off of the ski lift. Mimi followed, reluctantly. When everyone got off of the lift, they went up to the beginners slope.
Mimi trudged through the snow. "This snow feels like it's about to sink�" She complained, stomping her feet to test the ground. She leaned against a huge rock, that was at lest f times as tall as she was. On top of it was a lot of fresh snow.
"It won't." Matt assured her. He grabbed her, and hugged her.
"I'm TELLING you!" Sora said. "You guys would make such a cute COUPLE!"
"Yeah, yeah�" Matt said, reluctantly letting go of Mimi. "Well anyway� you guys ready?"
"YEAH!" Tai yelled, running to the start of the beginner's course. He pushed off with his ski poles, and whizzed down the slope, yelling. T.K. followed his lead, followed by Kari. Izzy went next, then Joe, and Sora.
"You ready, Mimi?" Matt yelled, grabbing her hand. He pushed off, and Mimi clutched his hand tighter, as they went faster and faster down the slope.
"MAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!" Mimi screamed, trying her best to hold on tightly to his hand. The others were way ahead of them, so all she could see was the white snow ahead of them� and a rock?
"Matt watch out!" she yelled, pointing the rock. Matt made a swerve, which caused Mimi to scream louder.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" She screamed, as she lost her grip on Matt. She tried her best to steady herself, and almost tripped. "MATT HELP ME!" She screamed to him. Above them, near the top of the ski course, the snow on top of the rock began to fall, and tons of snow began to make its way down the ski course.
"AVALANCHE!" Someone yelled from the top of the slope, trying to alert anyone on the slopes.
Matt happened to hear her, and spotted a cave ahead of him and Mimi in front of him, to his right. He glanced backwards, seeing the snow inch closer and closer. In a few seconds, it would catch up.
"Mimi!" He yelled, skiing as expertly as he ever did before, jumping at her, and pushing her into the cave, just before tons of snow covered it's entrance.
When Matt awoke, he had a bandage on his arm, and he was leaning on the wall of a cave, with Mimi resting quietly, her head resting on his shoulder.
"What happened?" He asked, rubbing his head.
"There was an avalanche�" Mimi replied. "We're stuck in this cave until someone finds out we're missing."
"What's wrong with my arm?" He said, wincing, as he tried to move his arm.
"You got hurt, and were bleeding� So I bandaged it up, and you woke up."
"Man� bad luck huh?" He asked, with a laugh.
"Yeah�" Mimi said. She got closer to Matt, and hugged him. "Do you think we're going to get out of here?" She asked.
Matt hugged her back. "Yeah� Soon�"
Meanwhile, the rest of the DigiDestined were back at the top of the ski slope, looking down in the snow, looking for signs of either Matt or Mimi.
"I'm gonna call the police," Joe said, hurrying off back to the inn.
"Yeah, I'm coming too," Sora said, following Joe. "You guys just keep on looking for them."
"I'm hungry!" Mimi complained. "And cold. And tired. And-"
"I get your point!" Matt snapped at her. "So can you SHUT UP?" Mimi quieted herself down, and hugged her knees.
Matt sighed. "Look, Mimi� I'm sorry I yelled at you like that� It's just�"
"Yeah� I know," She whispered quietly.
Matt moved closer to her. He put his hand on her cheek, and moved her head so that she was looking straight at him. "I'm sorry, is what I'm trying to say." Mimi found herself staring into his eyes again, and they both moved closer, slowly. Their lips met, and Matt pulled away quickly.
"Well�" Matt trailed off. "I guess we have to figure out how to get out of here.
"OK, so are you sure they were trapped in the avalanche?" An officer asked Sora, as he looked over her shoulder to a nearby ambulance.
"Yeah� positive," Sora said. "Can you just hurry up and get them out? I'm worried about them."
"We're working on it," The officer said, straightening out his glasses. Sora looked down on the course, and saw two teams. One was digging furiously in the snow, to the left. The other digging what APPEARED to be a huge rock. Something clicked in Sora's mind.
"Dig over there!" She yelled, directing the team of diggers to the rock. "I remember seeing a cave there, when I passed. They could be in there!"
"Listen to her!" The officer commanded. Both teams simultaneously turned around, and headed towards the rock, and started to dig.
"Hey, do you hear something?" Matt asked, shaking Mimi, trying to wake her up. She groaned, and her eyes opened.
"Yeah� I think. You think they found us?" She asked hopefully.
"Yeah! I hope, anyway," Matt answered. The wall of snow began to crack, and a beam of light illuminated the dark cave.
"Is anyone there?" A voice shouted from the other side of the wall.
"Yeah! Get us OUT of here!" Matt shouted.
"OK, we found them!" The voice said. "OK, you'll be out of there before you know it!"
Later, after Mimi was finished taking a shower, she walked downstairs, and sat in front of the fire with a cup of hot chocolate.
Matt walked to the couch, and sat down besides Mimi. "Listen Mimi�" He said, "In the cave� That, you know, kiss? It meant NOTHING. Just friends, right?"
Mimi felt her heart sink. "Yeah," she replied softly. "Nothing."
