Part 6: Promise

Matt walked away from Mimi, shaking his head.
'What have I done?' He asked himself. 'I know that I wanna be with Mimi... but... Why did I tell her that? I hafta sort all of this out...'
Meanwhile, Mimi was sitting on the couch, stirring her hot chocolate, and just staring into the fire.
'He's not interested in me...' She thought. ' I wish he were... I mean I really LIKE him. I would go as far to say I LOVE him... But does he feel the same way? I don't know...'
Unnoticed by both of them, Sora stood by the stairs, watching.
Later, Sora was upstairs, at a desk in her room.
"I wonder how I should help Matt and Mimi get together..." Sora asked herself thoughtfully. An idea struck her. She wrote down a note for Mimi, and left it on her bed. She then went to sleep.
A few minutes later, Mimi came upstairs, sleepy. She immediately fell onto her bed, and fell asleep. Not noticing the note.
In the morning, Matt woke up the earliest out of all the DigiDestined, and made his way downstairs. It was late, but none of his friends were awake. Well that's what he thought. When he got there, he sighed, and sat onto the couch, looking depressed.
"Hey there," A voice said, behind Matt. "You look depressed. Anything on your mind?"
Matt looked behind him. There stood a girl with blond hair, and green eyes, dressed in blue jeans, and a light blue sweater.
"Nah..." Matt said. "Nothing... Just having a little problem with this girl..." Matt trailed off.
"Wanna talk about it?" The girl asked thoughtfully.. "By the way, my names Karen."
"Well..." Matt started. "A whole bunch of stuff has been happening... Like we've kissed and stuff. But I keep on ignoring her and stuff. Telling her things like "It didn't mean anything..." I guess I'm kind of afraid of commitment or something."
"Ahh..." Karen said, nodding wisely.
"But I don't know... I sort of wanna be with her, but I don't. You know what I mean. I'm totally confused..." Matt put his head in his hands.
"Well does this girl wanna be with you too?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure... I mean it's the way we act together. My other friend told me that we looked good together, I don't think she was playing around, but I did. I just kept on acting the same to Mimi. That's her name." Matt felt relieved that he got all of that off of his mind.
"Well my advice is to just tell her." Karen said. "I mean, what do you have to lose? If she's your true friend, she's going to have to still be your friend, and she probably won't hurt you."
"Thanks, I guess..." Matt said.
"No problem," Karen said, getting up. "Just glad to help."
Matt nodded at her, and just sat there.
Karen walked behind the couch, and circled back to the stairs.
"Do, did you tell him?" Sora said, at the stairs.
"Yeah," Karen said. "I told him to just tell her. Do you really think it'll work?" She asked. "I don't really think so..."
"Well I do," Sora said. "I just hope it does. I really, really, REALLY want to see them together! I mean they are so cute!"
"Whatever you say..." Karen replied. "Well I'm going out. Bye!"
"She's right..." Matt said to himself. "I'm just going to come out and tell her. What's there to lose?"
He looked for Mimi, but he couldn't find her. He finally decided to check her room.
"Mimi?" He asked, quietly. He knocked on the door lightly. It opened slowly, and he saw Mimi peacefully sleeping. He sat on her bed, quietly, and looked at her. Her hair wasn't that messed up.
"Matt..." She mumbled quietly, in her sleep.
'She looks beautiful...' Matt thought to himself. HE touched her face, and her eyes slowly fluttered open.
"Oh..." Mimi said groggily. "Hey Matt..."
Mimi blinked a few times, trying to wake herself up.
Matt got up from where he was sitting. Mimi sat up in her bed. "So... What do you want?"
"Mimi, I need to tell you something..." Matt trailed off.
"Yeah?"
"I just wanna say... that... I love you..." He mumbled the last part.
Mimi's eyes shot up. "WHAT?"
'Well she's wide awake now...' Matt thought to himself.
Matt cringed. "Nothing..." He said quietly. "Nothing at all."
Mimi smiled at him. "I love you too." She mumbled quietly.
"I heard that," Matt said jokingly.
Mimi got up, and hugged Matt. He sighed.
"Mimi..." He whispered quietly, seriously now. "Remember all those things I said about "forget about it?" I had a reason... I just... wanted to forget. Everything. I don't know why. It's just... I dunno. But now... I won't deny it. I love you..."
Mimi smiled, and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Promise?" She asked.
Matt smiled back at her, and kissed her back. "I promise..."
That was his promise. And he would keep it forever.
