It was 4 in the afternoon and the Tachikawa's were gathered in their living-room waiting for their only daughter to arrive. Their daughter, Mimi, is in her final year of college, studying to be a chef. She shares a house with some classmates, but comes to visit her parents whenever she can. After all, they all live in the same city – New York. It's been some years since they moved to America, and although they've visited Japan a couple of times after that, it has been a long time since their last visit to their homeland.
Mimi finally arrived. It will be her 25th birthday in a few days, and her parents had a surprise prepared for her.
- Mimi, dear, what are you intending to do this year for your birthday? – Mrs Tachikawa asked her daughter.
- The usual... Dinner with both of you, then go out with friends.
- That sounds like a normal day in my princess' life. – Mr. Tachikawa replied.
- Yeah, I guess so. – Mimi laughed – But that's what I like to do!
- Mimi-chan, what would you say to a trip to Tokyo this year? – her father asked.
- In the Summer? OH, I would love it, Papa!
- No, no. I mean... For your birthday!
- WHAT! Are your serious? Please say you are! Oh, we will visit Japan again! – Mimi was over the moon.
- Well... Not us. You are. That would be your birthday gift this year!
- Meeeee? Go to Tokyo to celebrate my birthday?
- Yes, dear – her mother said – We already bought the trip and booked a hotel room for you to stay!
- You did?! – Mimi said, jumping up and down all over the room – I'm only sad you won't be there with me!
- Me and your father will be celebrating your birthday as well! – her mother said joyfully, while she hugged her husband.
- MAMMA – Mimi cried, embarassed.
- Mimi-chan, you need a boyfriend! – her mother said – One that makes you forget the whole world and not be afraid of looking ridiculous...
- I had boyfriends before Mamma, I'm just not as passionate as you are.
- Oh, you will be. You will, when you find yourself trully caring for someone, honey. That can take many time, or can be really quick. And it may last an hour, a day, or a lifetime. But I know you'll be passionate, you're my daughter!
- Sigh. I'm also Papa's daughter. – Mimi replied.
- Oh, you have no idea how passionate your father is! Tee-eheh-eh.
- Argh!
- Now, now. Start packing, princess, your plane leaves tomorrow morning.
Mimi hugged and kissed her parents, grabbed her things and ran to the car. Once at home, she logged into the chat room Koushiro had created for the digidestined to talk. She could write the news in, but was so much excited she decided to make a videocall.
MIMI: Min-na! I'm flying to Japan tomorrow!
Koushiro's face appeared on the screen.
KOUSHIRO: Mimi-san! Are you coming to Tokyo?
MIMI: Yes! My parents bought me a ticket as birthday gift. I'll get to spend my birthday with you!
KOUSHIRO: How cool of them. I'm glad.
MIMI: Where's everyone? I thought everyone would be here!
KOUSHIRO: Mimi-san, do you know what time is it in here?
MIMI: Oops. I guess around 5 am, right? Sorry!
KOUSHIRO: Yes. I'll go to sleep now. It was nice hearing from you. See you tomorrow!
MIMI: I can't wait! I miss you so much!
Koushiro stared blankly at the screen. 'It's been 9 years since she last visited. It will be nice to see her again.' I miss her, too. 'Crap, what?'
KOUSHIRO: G-good night, Mimi-san!
*logs out*
'Tee-eheh-eh. Koushiro's always the same. He's so cute when he's embarrassed!' Mimi thought to herself. 'He also got very handsome in this past few years. I wonder if he still has a crush on me...' With that thought in mind, she closed her computer and spent the rest of the afternoon packing up.
Did you like this first part? What are you expecting to read next?
I still don't know what this will turn to be, so I'll rate it 'M'.
Review, please :)
