"This is terrible! Absolutely terrible! How can this happen?! This wasn't supposed to happen!" exclaimed Pierre for about the twelfth time in a row. He paced around for so long. No doubt there was a trail that signified his existence.

It's been yet another week after the Tai's visit, and it wouldn't be too long until the parents come and checked in. Beside the acceptance of Davis's and T.K.'s quarrels and Yolie's and Kari's disciplines towards them, the house hasn't changed much at all. Except for the lack of occupation, with Mimi and Matt sometimes out. The weather changed slowly, summer was nearly gone and there were already features of fall approaching. The once green, fresh live leaves, amended to the colors of yellows, oranges, and reds that fell off one by one.

Yolie glanced at Pierre trying to retort on his outburst, but since she did on his others she was too tired on this one. Kari flew back to Japan immediately for a called meeting and would come back by the end of the week, and T.K. and Davis, well was doing what they did best, -eat.

.

"Hey do you think we can make pizza from whole wheat bread, ketchup and a leftover meat which looks something like pepperoni?" asked Davis.

"Yeah-wait what? No, that's disgusting." T.K. responded, his features gave a disgusted impression.

"Ah!!! Your right, I think that pepperoni look-alike just bit my finger." jumped Davis.

T.K. rolled his eyes and glanced around the kitchen as if it was all new to him.

Davis disposed of the leftovers and cleaned his surroundings. He prodded off lint from his shirt and straightened it out. "It's boring," He noted.

T.K. just nodded absently mindedly, his elbows resting on the table with his head in his hands. All of a sudden, he jumped up from his seat as if being revived immediately, with an idiotic grin plastered across his features. "Davis, I have the bests, greatest, more intelligible, most awesomeness idea ever taught up!" He exclaimed the grin still plastered.

Davis glanced up with curiosity. "What is it this time T.C.?"

There it was said… and T.K. glowered.

"It's T.K., T.K.! How hard is it for you to learn two simple letters?!" he exploded.

Breathe…

1…

2…

3…

Exhale…

"Anyways, if you want to find out what my new ingenious idea is, you just have to find out." exclaimed T.K. he bolted out of the kitchen door, Davis took off after and the two accidentally ran into Matt himself on the way. They said a quick faint sorry and trailed off.

.

Matt walked into the kitchen and sat himself on an empty chair. His muscles were sore and his hair was in disarray. He gave the look of sense that he just woke up, which he'd probably had. But apparently Sora thought it would be fun going through all sorts of places exploring. It would've been fun if he hadn't felt so crappy at the time.

Mimi later came into the room and looked a bit as ghastly as Matt did at the time… only she wasn't with Tai at all, not since a day ago. She gave a quick glance at Matt and sat herself down across from where he was.

A moment of silence then occurred until…

"So… how've you been?" asked Mimi, while absentmindedly twirling her caramel brown locks between her fingers.

Matt stood and grabbed a bottle of beer out of the fridge and replied. "Good, not completely, but I'm good, yourself?"

Mimi shrugged. "I don't know,"

Matt sat back down and drank, quirking an eye-brow he asked, "Why not,"

"Well… I've been doing a lot of thinking." Mimi responded.

Matt gave out a snort of a laugh while Mimi glared at him.

"I'm serious Ishida," replied Mimi, her eye-brows knitted together and her face all straight and stern.

"About what, I mean what's there to think about?" He solicited.

"Well for your information, a lot of things. You should do the same instead of leaving the house all the time."

"Well-hey it's not like I'm the only one. What about that guy, what's his name?"

"Tai,"

"Exactly Tai," He said and snapped a finger as he did, "It's not like you didn't go out with him for the past days." Matt defended.

"Well for your knowledge, I haven't been spending my time with him that much as you do with your girlfriend. I've been going out through walks in the park and such." Mimi grimaced.

"Okay… well sorry for not knowing that. And don't bring Sora up?" Mat interjected.

"And why not, you brought up Tai."

"That's because you brought up Sora."

"Since when,"

"Since before,"

By now the two were both on their feet frowning with each other. Mimi turned and grabbed something to drink from the fridge and it happened to be alcohol. Not caring about it for the world she opened it up and started drinking while Matt just watched her. Her face nearly grew disgusted, and was about to vomit as the burning liquid entered her throat, Matt watched her intently a grin appearing, as her face gave out distorted grimaces. She choked it in and still continued not wanting to lose this charade, giving Matt the last laugh, at least not yet anyhow.

"You're imprudent," She finally said once she finished halfway through.

"And your irrational," Matt defended.

"How am I irrational?" Mimi demanded.

"Well how am I imprudent?" mocked Matt.

Mimi narrowed her eyes and frowned and turned, without saying anything she finished her alcohol.

"Exactly, you can't think of a possible reason on why I'm imprudent." Matt smirked and added, "Because I'm not," He sat back right down on the chair and finished off his drink.

Once Mimi was finished she turned back around and faced Matt glaring at him. "Your imprudent because," She stopped for a moment trying to find the right words and leaned forward to him, her hands on the table, her nose a few inches away from his, and frowned. "Because you kissed me,"

Matt glanced at her his face blank. He slowly lowered down his beer bottle and opened his mouth to say something. But before any words were spoken Mimi got back up and waltz right out the door.

.

Mimi trudged around for minutes before observing a presence behind her. She heard her name being called but ignored it all completely. Her mind was a blur and she couldn't think that entire well. She heard her name being called again and this time she turned around. Matt came down the path and Mimi waited patiently as he appeared closer. Her frown was still plastered across and her arms folded.

Matt appeared right in front no later and took in air as a free hand ran through his golden hair. He glanced at the torrid female that stood a few inches away from where he stood and opened his mouth.

"Look, about that kiss." He started as he ran another hand through his hair.

"Yeah," She answered impatiently, her left foot tapping on the ground, hands on her hips.

He swallowed and took in her form. He felt like a little kid right then and there that was being disciplined by his mother after doing something devious and the way Mimi stood at the moment was almost an exact replica of his mother, Nancy Ishida when she got mad. But this time there wasn't a 'Well… Yamato Ishida what have you got to say for yourself this time?!'

"I didn't know what I was thinking back then and I'm sorry. I was stupid for doing that." He finally said.

"Yes you were," Mimi encountered then, "But I still don't forgive you. You'd have to do something to show you actually care."

Matt's face faltered, "And what's that?"

"You have to teach me how to cook!" exclaimed Mimi, her frown no longer there. Instead she had a smile across her face as if she were a little girl that received an early Christmas present.

Matt gave her a dumbfounded expression. "You get mad at me for kissing you and now you want me to teach you how to cook? You seriously got some mood problems."

"I'm going to ignore that, and yes please, please teach me! I mean after this is over I may never see you again, which I highly don't mind at all. I just want to learn something new." Her eyes were all big and full of hope.

Matt looked at her with discontent and sighed. "Fine,"

.

After about 3 and a half exact hours have past both Matt and Mimi were covered in flour from head to toe. Matt insisted on teaching her the basics of cooking beforehand, but she insisted they moved on to the good stuff, such as baking cookies. And after all the hardships of work they were drowned in their own batter.

Egg shells were thrown everywhere, chocolate chips were on the ground, spoons and measuring cups were all over the kitchen counter, and as for the flour and some bits of batter, well were on the two strangled human beings. The rest of the batter was placed on perfectly onto the cooking sheets and were positioned into oven baking away.

The whole kitchen was a messed and Mimi silently thanked the lord no one was here to recognize this. Everyone have gone up and left even before they started on their messy project.

They got up and started cleaning and as Mimi washed, Matt swept, and when Matt wiped, Mimi picked. It went on for another good 30 minutes before they got up and started talking again.

"You do know this is your entire fault right?" asked Matt still cleaning.

Mimi frowned and ignored him, until a slight burning smell entered her nostrils.

"Oh my god, the cookies," She panicked, and rushed to the oven, Matt a foot. And soon enough she opened up the oven as black smoke came rushing out, as if being freed. Mimi coughed and grabbed the cookies out, all appeared dark and brown. Matt opened the doors and windows waving the smoke out.

All of a sudden people came bursting in through the doors carrying big water hoses, soaking both Mimi and Matt followed with the kitchen.

"Your alive," T.K. and Davis yelled in unison.

Mimi coughed and sputtered. "Of course were alive, what did you think?!"

"Well we thought you guys were, well we thought you were, well the house was," T.K. explained, or tried to explain as Pierre came rushing to the doors followed by two frantic women.

"Oh lord, oh thank god, the house wasn't on fire!" exclaimed Pierre.

"Oh wow, I thought you guys were burning in here." mentioned Yolie, "What on earth were you doing anyway?" she added, glancing at both Matt and Mimi who appeared worn out and not the least bit pleased, followed by a tray of burnt, overcooked cookies. "Never mind, scratch that and get yourselves cleaned up, will fix up the mess."

"We will," Davis and T.K. moaned, Yolie gave out a stern look and they all began cleaning.

.

After another hour Mimi came out of the bathroom feeling rejuvenated. She glanced around the master bedroom, and took in its features. It was a bit dim as the sun came down but it still looked pretty. The Victorian bed sat down in the middle covered in dark reds of silk-like cover spreads, and the dark velvet curtains were draped on top of the wide window that gave a view outside.

She trudged out of the room and down the hallway. Alight aroma of dinner came rushing to her nose but instead of turning to the kitchen she went the other way that lead to the pool area. She walked into the edge of the pool and sat down, her feet dangling in the water, sending out ripples.

"Why so glum, love?" A husky voice whispered in her ear.

Mimi turned around as quick as a beeline and saw a smirking Matt at her side dripping from head to toe, shirtless, obviously swimming the whole time. He slowly settled down beside her in the same position. Mimi looked away focusing at the ripples of the pool, ignoring Matt's revealed chest and torso. She hated seeing guys shirtless, especially good-looking ones. She always appeared to have a blush creeping on.

"You happy to be leaving this place?" asked Matt.

Mimi still focused on the ripples and answered, "I don't know, I'll miss it that's for sure, but…"

"But," He inquired.

"I'm not sure if I'm making the right choice." She said.

Matt looked at her sideways and asked no more. He didn't know whether he was making the right choice either. He loved Sora, no regrets on that. Matt got up suddenly startling Mimi a bit.

"Get up," He ordered.

"Why,"

"Just get up,"

Mimi did as she was told, and once she once on her feet Matt pulled her to him and jumped into the pool, sending a loud splash.

Mimi swam up and glared at Matt who made his way next to her. "What did you do that for? I just finished showering."

"Well it doesn't hurt to take another shower, now does it? You can swim, right?" He asked.

"Of course I can swim."

"Well, then swim, you got to stop thinking for once." Then added, "Besides, it's our last two nights here, at least enjoy it."

Mimi watched as Matt swam to the other end of the pool, and followed. After seconds, turned to minutes, and the minutes turned into hours, they bother got out of the pool and dried themselves off with the dry towels they found from the bench nearby.

.

Matt walked inside and Mimi followed closely behind shivering every now and then from the cold crisp air. After a few more steps sounds were heard and one of the doors opened and Davis came out. Mimi dropped her jaw once she read the sign of the room he just opened. Guest Bedroom was plastered across the door in gold lettering.

"Did you just open that door?" Mimi asked in disbelief.

"Um no," Davis answered uneasily.

"Yes you did, I just saw you." Matt said.

"Well, are you sure I mean, you are a bit blurred and-"

Matt pushed aside the explaining Davis and opened up the room. And to his surprised it was unlocked. The door opened smoothly and revealed a nice polished room.

Matt opened his moth to say something but ignored it otherwise. But Mimi… she was different.

"You mean after all this time. Matt could have slept in a guest bedroom?" she reacted. "And you guys said it was locked." But instead of waiting for an answer Mimi stalked off to the room and closed it shut.

.

The next day went by quickly and before the people in the household recognized it, they were up and packing. Mimi and Matt's parents came by and they weren't the least bit pleased with their children's conclusions. By the end of the afternoon the whole house was as empty as it was when they first arrived, except for all the furnishings.

Mimi stood by the doorway, letting all the views of the house sink into her memory.

"You'll miss it too?" A voice asked from behind.

Mimi didn't need to turn around, she new it belonged to Matt no doubt. After sleeping and sharing the same room with the man you couldn't help but recognize him. Instead she stood on her ground and nodded in reply.

"So where you headed now," He asked again.

"Not sure, you,"

"Back to Japan," Matt answered.

Suddenly the sound of two limos came from behind, one for Matt, and the other for Mimi.

Matt glanced down at Mimi and smiled. "Well ma'am your carriage awaits."

Mimi smiled back and walked down the path. Matt stopped by her limo and opened it up for her.

"Have a nice wedding," Mimi said.

"You too," he answered.

But before Mimi even got the chance to get right in Matt gave her a small kiss on the lips and walked away.
