Je Vous Aime
By Mimi Blossoms (aka Aeris_15)
Part One:
"Je vous aime" is a French sentence meaning "I love you". But "Je vous aime" is more intended to a group of people; whereas "Je t'aime is intended directly to one person. I just entitled this "Je vous aime" because I like it better.
AUTHOR'S NOTES:
Again, since I've become a really big Mimato fan, I wrote another one! ^_^; This one is for you, Jennymon! =) Hope you like it. And also, for those who are wondering, there will be a sequel to "Pink and Green". But I'm SO stuck that a new idea came, so I wrote this story. So the sequel won't be out for a while... sorry! I hate coping with writer's block. This story has NOTHING to do with "Pink and Green", however it is sorta similar, because the digidestined are also in high school. Here's the summary: Mimi has a crush on the new guy, Pierre. What will Matt think? Also, when reading this fanfic, watch out for the subtitles. The POV's are constantly changing.DISCLAIMER: Obviously, a teenage girl like me do not have enough money to even own Digimon: Digital Monsters. Sooo... all the characters here (Mimi Tachikawa, Yamato Ishida, Taichi Yagami/Kamiya, etc) belong to TOEI and Saban. However, this whole fan-fiction, Je Vous Aime, is mine. And that includes the original characters that I put in: Itsuki, Pierre, Mr. Seto, Aiko, etc.
|Part 1A|
~ Omniscient Point of View ~
Mr. Seto went on and on explaining the activity series on the periodic table. His lab coat had this red stain on the sleeves, which Mimi Tachikawa eyed in disgust. She had been staring at it since she got to Chemistry class and had not once moved since then. Mimi held her blue pen in her hand. Her arms were relaxed on her desk, but she had her eyes fastened on Mr. Seto's chemical stain.
"Tachikawa!"
Mimi nearly jumped up at the mention of her last name. She nervously looked around to find the source of the voice. Mr. Seto cleared her throat and Mimi turned to the Chemistry teacher, blushing.
"Yes?" Mimi tried her best to sound sweet.
"Can you explain the difference in electronegativities between a nonmetal and a metal?" Mr. Seto asked in a challenging voice.
"Well... I..."
"What?"
"I... I..." Mimi stuttered. She could feel her face turning red. And eventually, everyone turned their heads on her direction. This made Mimi even more embarrassed.
"Can someone help Miss Tachikawa?" Mr. Seto began turned his attention to the rest of the students. His eyes landed on the new guy, Pierre, who had his hand up.
"Yes, Pierre?"
"Metals tend to have lower electronegativities than that of the nonmetals," Pierre answered quickly.
"Very good!" Mr. Seto exclaimed as he quickly walked to the front of the class and began writing something down on the blackboard.
Mimi looked at the new guy. He had the same brown eyes as Tai's and almost the same hairstyle as Matt's. She studied his features. He looked hot, all right. And the Odaiba High uniform seemed to suit him perfectly too. Pierre was the new guy that everyone was talking about.
The bell rang, and Mimi could hear Mr. Seto saying something. She didn't know exactly what it was, and she didn't care. Mimi quickly began to pack her books away and put them in her bag. The other students stormed out of the lab. Mimi slowly stood up and walked up to Pierre, flashing him one of her sweetest smiles.
"Hi," Mimi greeted flirtatiously.
Pierre ran a hand through his blonde hair. "Hey..." he replied as he busied himself with his books.
"So you're name is Pierre, right?" Mimi asked.
"That's me, all right," Pierre said.
He sorta reminds me of Matt...
Mimi thought.Pierre started his way out of the lab, and Mimi followed him. The two walked together in the hallway. Wow, I'm actually walking with Pierre... she thought to herself.
Mimi took a deep breath before saying something. "By the way, my name is Mi-"
"Mimi Tachikawa," Pierre finished for her. Mimi's heart melted as their eyes met. "Of course I know you. You're one of the cutest cheerleaders of Odaiba High."
She looked at Pierre and a smile formed on her face. They just met, and already Pierre was flirting with her. Mimi giggled softly and stopped in front of her locker. "Well... I..."
"I'll see you tomorrow in Chem," Pierre said in a hush tone. Mimi sighed dreamily as Pierre walked down the hallway.
~ Mimi's Point of View ~
"Kamiya! Kamiya! Yeah!" the girls cheered.
I dropped my pompom on the grassy ground and lied on the ground. We had been practicing for a long time. Cheerleading sure was exhausting. My team even made a personal cheer just for Tai Kamiya. It probably wasn't worth it, but oh well. Our captain of the cheerleading team, Itsuki Le, had insisted us to make up a cheer just dedicated to Tai. Everyone had agreed with it. So I had to go along with them eventually. I was the only one who was unbiased. Oh well... I guess Tai was right; there's no "I" in team.
I quickly sat up and looked at my green uniform. Ick! Green was definitely not my color. I knew it was the school color, but it just doesn't suit me as much as pink does.
While most of the girls disappeared to the locker room, one of my teammates, Aiko Hibiki, sat down next to me. I watched as she gulped down her water bottle. I could tell she was as tired as I was. When she was done, Aiko, threw the bottle, causing it to roll down a hill.
"Are you ready for tonight?" Aiko asked in a casual tone.
"Yeah, I guess," I replied. "I don't really know the Kamiya cheer by heart though."
She chuckled. "I don't like the Kamiya cheer either. But I guess Tai deserve it since he's a really good soccer player." Aiko gave me this dreamy look. "But oh! Did I mention how hot he looks with those huge goggles on his head?!" I was stunned at her sudden change of mood. I shook my head. This was Aiko we were talking about. She had about forty boyfriends in three years.
"Not to mention his huge brown hair!" Itsuki added as she ran towards us.
I rolled my eyes. I really wasn't use to this yet. Itsuki is so obsessed with Tai. It's not even funny. She acts as though he's not going out with Sora.
"Oh! Oh! And I just LOVE the way he kicks his soccer ball!" Aiko exclaimed.
"And don't you just love the sexy way he gestures?!" Itsuki cried.
Finally, I couldn't stand it any longer. I stood up in between the two. "Okay! Enough! Enough! Taichi Kamiya happens to be my childhood friend, and I'm not very comfortable seeing two of my teammates going crazy over him. So please! Do me a favor and, like, shut up? Okay?"
Itsuki raised an eyebrow and gave me a look. "Hey! Why don't you tell us who you like anyway?"
"Yeah!" Aiko agreed, putting her hands on her hips. "I'm surprised that a popular girl like you could stay single this long!"
"Well..." I hesitated.
Itsuki surprised me by letting out a loud scream of excitement. "Aah! Oh my gawd! Oh my gosh! Tell me! Who's this guy that you like?! Is he hot or what?!"
"Calm down, Itsuki, sheesh!" Aiko gave her an irritated.
"I am!" Itsuki glared at Aiko. Sometimes I wondered how Itsuki became the team's captain. She's too ditzy to be one.
"No you're not!" Aiko shot back. "Don't go give me that now!"
"Stop it, you guys!" I shouted. "You're driving me crazy!"
They both looked at me. And I was actually surprised that they quieted down.
"Okay... do you guys know Pierre?" I asked them in a lone tone.
"P-Pierre?!" Itsuki exclaimed. "Oh my gosh! You don't mean... It's that cute new soccer player?!"
Now it was my turn to be surprised. "What?! He's a soccer player too?!"
"Duh!" Aiko replied. "Didn't you know that?"
"Tsk... tsk... And I thought you're a big fan of him," Itsuki added, shaking her head.
"Well, actually, I just met him today in Chem," I pointed out as a matter of factly.
"And?" Aiko said. "Did you find out anything about him?"
"Not yet, but trust me, I'm working on it."
"Perfect!" Itsuki said. "It's your chance to get closer to him tonight, Mimi."
"Oh that's right!" Aiko blurted out. "He's playing at tonight's game."
"Hey, Tachikawa! I guess it's your lucky day, eh?" Itsuki winked at me. "Actually, it's BOTH our lucky day. Just watch me do my work with Kamiya tonight. You'll be so impress!"
"Hey!" Aiko scowled at Itsuki. "I don't think so, Itsuki! In case you've forgotten, your rival is listening!"
Itsuki laughed. "Yeah! Yeah! As if I care anyway." She sighed. "Oh look at the time! It's already five!"
I quickly jumped up at what she said. "Oh my gosh! I still gotta do my nails!" I cried out.
I was about to run back inside the building when Itsuki suddenly grabbed hold of my arm. "Hey! Let go!"
"You'd better not make any mistake on our Kamiya cheer tonight," Itsuki told me in a bossy tone.
"I'll try not to break a nail or two," I replied.
She let go of my arm and smiled mischievously. "Good."
~ Matt's Point of View ~
After hours of repeating the same song over and over, I placed my guitar back to its case. I just finished practicing this new song I composed. The song still wasn't finished. I just worked on the first verse. I basically got the music for the chorus, but I was struggling to think of any lyrics for the chorus.
I looked at my watch. It was already five thirty. It was Friday night and here I was sitting alone in my room bored out of my mind. The people from my band had gone off to Tokyo to go camping. They had invited me, but since I was really trying to do good in school, I had decided to stay instead. And now, as I sat here, watching the night sky darken, I began to wonder if I had made the right choice.
"Matt! Tai's outside! Come quick!" TK yelled from the doorway.
I sighed and got up lazily. Now what would Tai want from me now? It's Friday night and I knew that he was supposed to be playing for tonight's game. The game should start at around six fifteen or so. Shouldn't he be over at school now?
"What do you want, Tai?" I asked, looking a bit irritated. "Don't you have a soccer game tonight?"
Tai expertly tossed his soccer ball before turning to me. "I do. That's why I'm here. I'm here to pick you and TK up."
"Huh?!" I looked a little surprised.
Before he could object, I saw my brother running from the house. TK had already changed into his favorite Odaiba jersey.
"Hey, kiddo! Where do you think you're going?!" I demanded.
TK sighed. "Oh come on, Matt. You never let me watch Tai's soccer game."
"But Mom will come in thirty minutes to get you. Have you forgotten that?"
TK lowered his gaze and looked a little disappointed. "No... but please Matt! Just let me watch the soccer game! Besides, Mimi will be there to cheer on Tai, and Izzy... and all of the team!"
I sighed. Yeah, I heard that the cheerleading team will be doing this 'personal cheer' just for Tai. "Tai, is this a very important game?"
"Of course!" Tai answered quickly. He turned to look back. His silver Camaro was parked in the driveway. And I could see a glimpse of Sora and Kari inside the car. He turned back to me. "Come on, Matt! Sora and Kari are waiting."
"I don't know..."
"Please Matt! You gotta let me go to the game!" TK begged.
I sighed and shook my head. "Okay. Fine. But let me drive you there, okay? Just call me when you need a ride back home." I have this feeling that I'm gonna regret this.
"All right!" TK cheered. He gave me this friendly punch. "Thanks, Big bro! I love ya!"
Tai smiled. "Great! So everyone's going then!" he looked down to see his watch. "Oh shucks... I forgot. I still gotta pick up Izzy and Joe."
Tai's cell phone then rang. I turned to watch him as he reached into his pocket and picked it up. "Hello?" I could see Tai's face frowning. "What?! You don't have a ride to the game? Where's your Dad? Um... I don't know. I don't think I have any more room at the back. Well... Matt is going to the game too; you may want to ask him for a lift or something... Of course he wouldn't mind! He'll give you a ride there and a ride back home. Of course I'm sure! I'm sure of it! He'll give you a ride! Relax man, geez!"
As Tai hung up the phone, he turned to me with a smile grin. I knew exactly what he was gonna say so I quickly shook my head. "No Tai! I don't wanna waste my gas on this!"
"Oh come on, Matt!" Tai said. "We need everyone to watch my game!"
"Yeah. Of course 'cause it's only your game, right?" I replied without looking at him. I have my arms crossed over my chest, and I was leaning on a wall. "Who cares, man… Forget it. I am not giving YOUR friend a ride."
"Come on! Don't you wanna at least do something nice and give this cute girl a ride?"
"What?" I looked at him closely.
"I'll tell you what. She's your friend too you know," Tai told me mysteriously.
"Yeah, sure," I said, still not buying it. "If she were my friend, she could've just called me herself."
"Oh look at Mr. Ishida now… acting so emotional now." He laughed. "Matt, come on! It's only Mimi!"
"Mimi?!" I looked at Tai in surprised. That pink annoying girl with a high-pitched voice? Oh man.
"What's wrong, Matt?" TK looked at me. I guess there must've been something wrong with my expression.
"N-nothing," I answered. I quickly turned to Tai. "Why can't you give her a ride yourself?"
"Because I still have to pick up Joe and Izzy!" Tai replied. "Move your butt, man! Mimi can't be late tonight!"
"Yeah, but I can always be late,"
"That's just so lame," Tai commented.
I sighed. "Fine. Fine… so I know she'll be cheering on you, and you want her there… okay… okay… I understand."
"Great!" Tai exclaimed. "So it's settled then!"
"Sure,"
"Good!" Tai ran back to his car. "Just watch me! I'll be the first one to score!"
~ Matt's Point of View ~
I stopped my green Dodge Neon car in front of Mimi's big house. I just called my mom ten minutes ago to tell her that I was to take TK to the soccer game. I even volunteered to drop him off to my mom's house in return just so that she would agree to let TK go to the game. I then turned my attention back to Mimi's house. I haven't talked to her in a while. We always see each other in school and say hi to each other. I couldn't remember the last time I talked to her. TK was sitting next to me in the front seat and I gave him a look.
"Yeah I know! You want Mimi to sit next to you, right?" TK smiled at me.
I felt my face turned a shade of red. I tried to reply but he didn't let me. TK quickly settled himself at the back. Then I caught a glimpse of Mimi. She was wearing the green cheerleading uniform now, her pompoms ready. She quickly entered the car and sat next to me. She gave me a smile.
"Hey Matt! Thanks for giving me a ride," she told me. "I called my parents at work and told them you're driving me."
I muttered something under my breath, causing Mimi to look at me strangely.
"He said 'you're welcome'!" TK shouted from the backseat.
I met my brother's eyes at the rearview mirror and gave him a scowl. TK replied by winking at me.
I drove off the driveway. I know I should start a conversation… but what was I supposed to say to her? I had hardly ever spoken to her in the Digital World.
"So, are you looking forward to watch the game?" Mimi asked me.
"Actually, I'm not staying," I replied.
"You're not? How come?" she asked. Was there a hint of disappointment in her voice? I wish.
"Uh, I just volunteered to drive TK there, because there was no more room in Tai's car," I explained. "Hey, you're doing the Kamiya cheer too, right?"
"Yeah…"
She didn't sound too happy. I bet she didn't like Tai.
"What's wrong?" I asked. "You don't like the idea of cheering on Tai?"
"Oh no! Of course I like it!" Mimi replied quickly. I rolled my eyes; I never should've asked. "In fact, I can't wait to show off my moves!"
"You've never seen Mimi do a cartwheel before, have you, Matt?" TK asked me.
"No,"
Mimi giggled. "A cartwheel's so easy! I'll show you another move if you want, TK!"
"Cool!"
Mimi giggled even more and turned to me. She gave me a friendly shove. "Please Matt! Stay for a while! You gotta watch my moves!"
"Uh, well…" I hesitated.
"You HAVE to! And that's THAT!"
"Uh, sure…" I answered in a quiet voice. For some reason, I could feel Mimi's excitement. And I could tell that I kinda wanna stay for the game too. I slowed down the car, and parked. We were finally at Odaiba High School.

~ Matt's Point of View ~
"Finally here!" Mimi stretched out her arms as she got out of the car. TK stood beside her. I smiled at the sight of them together. TK had grown so much. He was an inch taller than Mimi now. I walked up behind them.
"Come on, I'll walk you two to the soccer field," I offered.
"Okay! Lead the way," Mimi agreed.
We walked to the other side of the building. It was the shortest way to the field. Mimi was walking behind me with TK bringing up the rear. I could hear Mimi humming this song over and over. It became too repetitive that it was almost annoying. I didn't protest though. TK even joined in.
"Your voice is really improving, Mimi," TK complemented.
"Thank you! You're sweet!" Mimi replied.
"Alright, we're here," I said.
The whole field was pack. The whole Odaiba must be here. Man, is Tai ever popular. I looked towards the bleachers. I couldn't even find a spot.
"Wow! Everyone's here!" Mimi exclaimed in excitement. "I'm getting nervous! I hope I don't screw up!"
TK nudged me. "Aren't you glad you came?"
I just shrugged. "Uh, we better go and look for Sora and them…" I turned to Mimi whose eyes were sparkling as she stared at a distance. "Mimi? You're gonna be okay from here?"
She didn't answer me; she looked like she was just staring at something… or nothing, perhaps.
"Mimi?" I tried again. She still didn't answer me. I sighed and followed her gaze. Then I saw why she was just standing there. I knew why now. It was because of a guy… I knew it. He was so wide open. Pierre, the new soccer player of Odaiba High. I should've known. He stood there in the middle of the field as if ready to strike at any second. He sorta got this same hairstyle as me, except mine was a little longer than him. He got these chocolate brown eyes, just like Tai's. I could tell why girls always go after him. But why would Mimi pick him? He was like a combination of Tai and me. Man, what does Mimi see in him? I heard he was a big time player…
~ Mimi's Point of View ~
There he was, standing there with dignity. He was all by himself in the middle of the field. The Odaiba soccer jersey suit his muscular body so perfectly. His eyes gleamed as he eyed the ball. One of the players passed him the ball, which he expertly kicked into the net. He was perfect!
I waved my pompoms up in the air and jumped up and down. "Go Pierre! You rock!" I yelled on top of my lungs.
I then stopped. And dropped my arms slowly. I almost forgot… I reluctantly turned to Matt who had been standing there. He was looking at me but he looked away and gazed at Pierre's direction. His expressions were hard to read. But I knew for sure that he didn't wanna talk to me.
"Uh… s-sorry!" I scratched my head and tried to laugh it all off. "I… I got SO carried away! I'm just… I'm just a big fan of Pierre! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Matt gave me a look, which made my smile to disappear. Then he shrugged.
"It's okay. I know you're just hyper," he said.
I frowned at what he said.
"But anyway…" he continued before I could object. "You'd better go and find your cheerleading team, while me and TK find a spot."
"R-right away sir!" I replied quickly.
Matt looked a bit embarrassed as he led TK towards the bleachers. I felt a little guilty at what I did. I was so silly to act like that! How could I? Oh Matt…Why do I have this feeling that I just want to drop my pompoms and watch the game with you instead?
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Okay, I know I don't know ANYTHING about cars! I'm a girl and I'm not a guy, and know absolutely NOTHING about cars… so please don't flame me telling me that Matt's & Tai's cars both sucked. Oh well… maybe I'll change it if I find a better one. Also, I wanna apologize that the some of the dialogues sounds rather stupid. I just couldn't write right. ^_^ I might revise this part, k?BTW, please visit my Mimato shrine! |
