"Two words," Matt stated as he strides into Tai's bedroom, "exchange student."

Barely lifting his head up to acknowledge his friend's presence, Tai continues on with his video game.

"What are you going on about now, Matt?" He distractedly asked.

"Nothing much...just," flopping himself on the floor he quickly tosses a folder towards Tai, "I'm thinking of studying abroad."

As the folder lands messily in front of him, Tai suddenly realizes how serious his friend was.

"Abroad?" Pausing his game, Tai turns his attention to his friend. "Have you gone insane?"

Matt slowly shakes his head, "Not the least..."

Giving him a quizzical look, Tai snatches the folder off the floor and flips through it. A few minutes passed by with Tai merely grunting in disbelief every five seconds.

"Unbelievable. He finally states as the folder once again flies through the air landing a few feet away from Matt. "Do you actually believe your dad would let you go abroad for one whole year?"

Leaning himself against a wall, Matt slowly grins to his friend. "Sure."

"Then you've totally lost it. 'Cause if I know your dad, which I do, I'm sure he would have said-"

"Yes." Matt butted in.

"..yes..?" Scratching his head, Tai looks at Matt slightly confused.

Leaning forward, Matt's eyes begin to gleam with excitement. "I know man; I couldn't believe it myself either! But," he quickly shrugs, "he said that it would be good for me to 'see the world'." He slowly chuckles to himself.

Unsure as to how he should respond, Tai slowly stands up and walks towards the window with a concentrated expression on his face.

Seeing this, Matt begins to feel slightly uneasy and sad. "Look, I'm gonna keep in touch with all of you guys. I promise! Besides, it's only for one year."

"Hey I'm not sad, Matt." Tai intervenes as he shifts his gaze back to his friend. "I'm worried about how everyone else would react to this."

Quickly understanding, what Tai meant, he slowly nods. "Specifically Sora, huh?"

Tai nods as he sits beside his best friend. "I'm not here to burst your bubble and all for this abroad thing. But if you're gonna go, you'll have to face a very upset girlfriend."

Softly sighing to himself, Matt brushes a hand over his hair. "It's gonna be hard but I am not going to give this opportunity up. Sad and painful as it is, not even for Sora."

Tai watches his friends troubled face. "The folder explained that you'd be studying in America, eh?"

Nodding, Matt watches his friend's expression as he says the next sentence, "In New York City."

He knew he should have brought a camera as Tai's expression turned in surprise. "Mimi lives...god, she knows?"

Laughing heartedly, he slaps the back of his friend forcefully. "Yeah man. I called her early this morning, surprised the heck out of her."

"It'll surprise the heck out of Sora too..." Tai slowly muttered.

Matt's handsome face slowly shifts to a troubled look. "I forgot. Hey," he tries to reassure, "it's not like I'm gonna date her or anything, 'member, I'm there for just the experience of schooling abroad. Sora shouldn't worry her pretty little head about it."

However reassuring it sounded, Tai knew Sora would still be worried. In fact, Tai knew very well that Sora should be worried. Mimi Tachikawa was a competition Tai feared Sora would loose at. He remembers the last visit Mimi had when she came back to Odiaba. Her luscious lock of auburn brown hair curled softly below her shoulders. It was not like Tai liked Mimi, but one could not resist day dreaming about her. So many things had changed in her feature and personality and the one-year they had not seen her had done her well. Sure she was still a crazed mall/clothes maniac, but she seemed to have held an aura of elegance with her. Something everyone seemed to notice...especially Matt. Which brought Tai back to the Sora situation, he was worried as to how well she would react to this news, and to then hear the location of his studies...why.... it would be a double blow! Sighing sadly, Tai closes his eyes wishing Sora did not have to go through this pain.

Matt's thoughts were however not at the situation he would have to face soon with his girlfriend. But of somewhere else...somewhere in America. Sadly at this time, he was not thinking of Mimi Tachikawa...no folks...he was thinking about Music. Oh yes, Matt Ishida, still a crazed musician. His love for music and his band has drove him to travel to a different country. To where the heart of rock and roll was. Closing his eyes he imagines the wonderful music's he was itching to hear once he reaches New York. But what is this?! A fleet of moment his train of thought had lapsed off of music and into a shape of a girl. Mimi Tachikawa slowly floats into his thoughts. A soft smile that handsomizes Matt's face, even more, appears as he thinks of meeting an old...friend. Goodness, if Mimi can hear him call her 'old'. All hell would break loose I could tell you that much. But he can not possibly think of her as just...a friend? Why, how preposterous!

Blinking back into reality, both boys look at each other slightly embarrassed at what their thoughts were. Standing up, Matt grabs his folder and jokingly salutes his friend.

"Well buddy. I am off to war!"

Tai looks at him crazed, "You are only going to see Sora...not war."

Matt sorrowfully shakes his head, "Which my dear friend...is war waiting to be fused." He trudges himself out of the door quickly waving a hand to his friend as he walks nervously to Sora's house.
