**********************

Authors Note: Chapter three! Okay usually, I could finish a chapter in less than a day, but it took me awhile to think as to how I should write this next chapter. I hope it is alright, I really hope all of you will enjoy this. I'm not sure as to how many chapters this story will have, I already know how it will end but I just need to figure out how to write it down. Once again, thank you to everyone who wrote reviews for this story. It strives me to continue to write this story.

"Mimi, you're wearing the airports carpet out." Michael warned as he lounged himself on a seat looking tiredly at Mimi's moving figure.

Not heeding his words, Mimi continued her pacing her mind deep in thought. How long does a flight take? Why are they delayed? What if-no don't think that way Mimi. Nothing could happen. Probably a storm-why would there be a storm during July? What if Matt got in a-how on earth can you get into an accident in a plane? Matt if you're trying to scare me, I swear I'm going to wring your neck!

Her frown deepened and deepened as the thoughts of what might have happened during the flight worsened her facial expression.

Michael gave a horrified look as he glanced at her face, "Good god, Mimi! Wipe that frown off your face before it stays there permanently!" In less than a few seconds, Michael had stood and took a few steps reaching his friend and spinning her to face him."

"Mims..Don't worry all right? Delays of flights are not out of the ordinary, perhaps the pilot needed last minute check up's on the plane or they needed to gas it up or some other things airplanes do for delays. But look," he points a finger up to the TV, which showed the schedules of on coming planes, "It says that the plane from Odaiba is landing in a few minutes. So for now, just...chill." At that he pushes her gently down on a seat.

"I'm sorry.." She begins to tap her foot impatiently on the floor as she lightly bites her bottom lip, "I guess I really am just excited to see a friend, especially Matt!"

Slightly raising a brow, Michael looks at her curiously, "Why Matt in particular Mimiluv?"

She softly blushed as he called her in that nickname. 'Mimiluv' was a nickname Michael had started to call her when they began a very short lasting relationship. Yes, short relationship. Like 3-day relationship to be exact. What did you think? This story will not be about Michael and Mimi, pssh...your barking up the wrong tree. Hah! Okay, returning back to the story.

"Don't take it wrong Mike. I don't have feelings for the guy." She laughed with a hint of nervousness. What did that represent? Could it be that Mimi was leading us on? That she could possibly have been hiding some hidden desire for our Matt? How mysterious.

"It's just that, well...Matt used to call me all the time when I was here in America. But, ever since he started going out with Sora," she slowly shrugged, "we sort of drifted apart. Our conversations stopped, so I'm really just happy that I get a chance to hang out with him for one whole year. We sure have a lot of catching up to do." She gives a fleeting smile before she sees a plane maneuvering itself to park in their gate.

"Ishida..." she quickly stands up and runs her hands smoothly over her shirt. She had taken precarious time to fix herself up to look presentable for him. Her white Capri pants matched so perfectly with her soft colored pink top. She didn't want to make Matt think she was a scrub. Goodness no, she wanted to make a very good first impression.

As passengers began to flood out of the plane, their families and loved one started to run in a welcoming and joyful reunion towards them. Mimi and Michael stood there as they waited patiently for Matt to come out. Mimi's mind lightly screamed with joy when she finally saw a sandy blonde haired boy step out of the plane with a cool and calm look. Just like Matt...A smile slowly formed on her lips as she slowly walked to him with Michael staying behind to watch curiously as to how these friends would react to one another.

Though their relationship was long over, Michael still wished at times that they could have still continued their relationship. No...He knew it would still have not lasted. They were both very independent and strong willed people. They knew on the third day of their relationship, the feelings they had for each other would be nothing more than just friends.

Matt stood there at the entrance and stared with amazement as he watched Mimi walk towards him. His feet felt stiff for some odd reason and his mouth felt dry. He was even more baffled at this pounding beat of his heart which continued to beat at a faster rate as his friend came closer and closer towards him. An angel in disguise..His only way to express the figure that was finally standing in front of him with eyes filled with warmth. Mimi Tachikawa...what have you done to me? The whole plane trip, I could not seem to stop thinking about you. What spell have you cast to make me feel a sensation of warmth and happiness to see you?

Softly smiling, she looks happily up to him, her heart beating at the same rate as his.

"Hi, Matt."

"Hello."

A few moments passed with pure silence where the world that surrounded busily around them seemed to stop in their eyes. Only their souls and minds seemed to be the only existing things in this world as their eyes locked with each other which slowly drowned them into a blissful moment of what can be called love. But how can love be placed here when these two have not yet had a chance to say anything but a quick greeting. No...It can not be love, yet.

"Well, this is lovely but um, maybe you two can finish your 'staring' contest when we reach home, sounds good?" Michael slowly interjected as the quiet couple quickly snapped out from the trance with slight confusion on their faces.

Michael restrained from laughing for he could not believe the far off expressions those two had. It was as if they were in a world of their own, how interesting.

"Here, man. Let me carry some of your stuff." Michael offered as he took Matt's guitar and luggage away from him. Those were basically the only things he had brought. His father had given him a generous amount of money to buy the clothes and school supplies he would need for the coming year. An account was also established for him if he ever lacked money.

"Gosh, it is so wonderful to see you again, Matt. How long has it been?" Mimi joyfully asked with that incident they just had a few moments ago seeming to have been forgotten.

"Matt placed a friendly arm around her shoulder as he pulled her close against him as they walked towards the parking lot. "Too long I think." He laughs softly as he watches Mimi quickly nod at his statement.

"You will have fun here! I promise that you will not regret a single day." Looking up to him, she shows the joy that was so easily seen in her eyes.

Michael had walked a few feet in front of them as he looks for his car. Spotting it, he turns the alarm off and pops the back trunk of his black convertible open. Placing the luggage and guitar in, he shuts it quickly turning once more to Mimi and Matt.

"So Matt, as you know, you're gonna be staying at my place for this year." He extends a hand, "Welcome aboard buddy."

Matt casually shakes his hand as he continues to keep his other hand around Mimi's shoulder. "I'm glad that I'm staying at a house where I know someone."

"Oh you'll have fun in Michael's house! He has a wicked cool video game that you should try!" Mimi chimed in.

Slightly raising a brow, Matt cast a strange look down to his friend. "Since when did you start enjoying video games, Mimi?"

Her cheeks slightly flushed as she looked down and softly whispered, "I have changed a lot..." she looks up to him her voice slightly louder, "I'm not the wimpy, whiny girl like before."

He didn't know if it was hurt of frustration that he saw in her eyes, but it was something that he wished he didn't have to make her show.

"I never said you were a wimp, or a whiner. I'm glad you enjoy video games, maybe I will find a challenge in the games in you?" He teasingly commented as he gently brushed a finger over the tip of her nose.

"Bring it on!" She teased back as they got into the car with Michael turning the engine on.

Driving through the roads of New York, Matt looked just like a little boy amazed at the many lights that sparkled over the city.

Mimi watched the amazement in his face as they drove out of the city and into the country side where trees cast shadows on the road and where the moon shown brighter as the car drove farther and farther away from the bright noisy city. She gently smiled as she continued to watch Matt. Blinking a few times and realizing what she had been doing, she quickly turns away to look at the scenery as well. She didn't know what was so special about his sparkling azure eyes, but there must have been something, which always tempted her to look in it.

"It's gonna be a long trip Matt, I suggest you grab a few snoozes till we reach there, and you too Mimi. You woke up amazingly too early today. Get some rest first." Michael suggested as he pressed a button to roll the convertibles top down. "Sorry you guys, gotta put the top down, I need cold air to keep me awake."

Mimi tried to stop her slow shivers from the cool night's air. However, it was not hidden well enough for Matt not to notice.

He scooted closer to her placing his arm around Mimi, wrapping her in his warmth. It slightly startled her at first but decided to just accept it. She was too cold to worry or blush at the fact. She assumed he was just trying to be a good friend.

Softly sighing, she leans her head on him as she closes her eyes, feeling his warmth protecting her from the cold winds. As she slowly slipped into a dreamless dream...her last thoughts were of him...my protector...my life...my everything...
