Even though it was 3am in Tokyo, Izzy was hard at work on his computer trying to solve a rather complicated algorithm. Something that Davis had said at their goodbye dinner for Mimi earlier that night had sparked an idea in Izzy's head and he didn't want to go to bed until he had exhausted all his current ideas; he was on a roll. Pausing to rest his overworked fingers he looked at the framed photograph sitting to the left of his computer screen. It was a photo of all the Japanese Digidestined and their Digimon partners that had been taken just a few weeks before. Since Mimi had been visiting from America it had been one of the few opportunities they had all had to be together in some time. Izzy's gaze rested on the pink-haired girl in the photograph and smiled, thinking of the time she had slapped him when they were in that temple during their first Digimon adventure. His eyes then moved across the rest of the photo and he smiled at each face in turn. They were his best friends, they had been through so much, saving the world again and again...especially his partner Tentomon, who had never let him down or given up on him. Thinking of the Digimon made him remember that he was working on a program that might make travel to the Digital world a little smoother. With a sigh he turned back to his computer screen and started to type again when he heard a knocking on the front door to the apartment.
Knowing his Mother and Father were asleep he got up quickly..wondering who it could be at this hour, although as a Digidestined, early morning visits were not that unusual. He walked quietly through the small two bedroom apartment and opened the door a crack with the chain still on it.
"Mimi?" he asked as he opened the door to reveal his pink haired friend, "What are you doing here, is something wrong?!
Mimi shook her head quickly, "Nothing's wrong Izzy, could I come in?"
Izzy quickly shut the door and undid the chain and then opened the door to let her in. Mimi walked in quickly and he re-shut the door, noticing that instead of one of her usual trendy outfits she was wearing loose pants and a sweatshirt that stopped just at the top of her pants, giving him just a glimpse skin.
"Come on to my bedroom," he whispered, "My parents are asleep...if they knew you were here.." he stopped for a second and chuckled, "Well, my mom would probably try to feed you."
Mimi giggled as she followed him into his bedroom and shut the door softly behind her. Looking around the small and mostly neat room, she seemed indecisive for a moment and then walked over to Izzy's bed and sat down on it. Izzy looked around, slightly uncomfortable, and then decided to sit next to her on the bed.
"So what's going on?" He asked. " I thought you were going back to New York tomorrow...or well today actually." he noted looking at the clock. Mimi sighed loudly
"I couldn't sleep, I just kept thinking about going back and how much I am going to miss everyone here...even after a few year's in New York it just doesn't feel like home. And I knew you would still be awake and you live the closest so I thought I would come talk to you.I hope that's ok." She smiled shyly. Izzy smiled back at her
"It's fine...how did you know I was still awake?" he asked curiously.
Mimi laughed, "At dinner you got this look that you get when you are trying to figure something out...I figured you would be typing all night."
Izzy shook his head, "Yeah after Davis said that thing about landing funny on his ankle in the digital world it got me thinking about the way we land, you know in a heap, on top of each other. And in reality the D3's should be able to be more accurate than that..I mean we should be able to control where and how we land and right now it's just a lot of guesswork so I figured if I could rewrite the transfer sequence...Mimi are you crying?!" He stopped for his friend was crying, sniffling gently managing somehow to still look pretty while doing it.
"I'm sorry!" she sniffed, " I just realized I was even going to miss your babbling about things I don't understand or care about. Oh what is wrong with me?!" she started to cry even harder. Izzy started to freak out a little bit about what was happening..what should he do? His experience with women was limited and he had no idea what to do with the crying girl in his bedroom. Taking a deep breath he decided to try to cheer her up.
"Hey, come on, you aren't going to miss my babble...you hate my babble. Remember the time you slapped me? And you love New York...you love the shopping and all the people. And with the Digigates open you can see Palmon anytime you want." he said indicating her plant-like Digimon Partner. Mimi looked up from her crying and in one quick and surprising motion turned and threw her arms around his neck and continued to cry. Izzy was caught completely off-guard. Now his friend was not only crying, but almost completely sitting in his lap. Her hair was tickling his face and he could smell her flowery perfume. Trying to ignore the fact that she smelled amazing and felt unbelievably soft against him, he freed his left arm to awkwardly rub her back in what he hoped was a soothing manner. He somehow sensed that no amount of things he had to say would make her feel better and decided he was better off just letting her cry.
A few minutes later Mimi slowly stopped sobbing and sat up a little straighter, her arms still around his neck.
"Sorry, I know you're right...it's just this trip just made me remember how living here is and it will be tough to go back."
Izzy shrugged "No problem, anytime you need a human kleenex I am here for you!" Mimi giggled a little and then seemed to realize that during her crying episode she had almost climbed into Izzy's lap. Making an awkward face she tried to scoot over at the same time he tried to remove his arm from around her. Losing their balance, both Digi-destined fell off the bed and landed on the floor, Mimi landing squarely on top of Izzy so that they were face to face.
"Oh!" Mimi exclaimed and then started to laugh. Izzy started laughing too and then said
"Shhh! My parents!" as they both continued to snicker. Izzy looked up at Mimi as their laughing subsided and then she looked into his eyes and said simply,
"Thanks, Izzy, you're sweet!" and then she did the most unexpected thing. She kissed him. Izzy's brain shorted out the second her lips touched his. All he could think about was how soft her lips were and how he could feel her body against his even through her loose and comfortable clothes. Then he started thinking about how long the kiss was going on..how long did people normally kiss for? Mimi pulled back slightly and he let her go, only to find her kissing him again, this time he felt her push her tongue against his lips and he willingly opened his mouth to accommodate her. Their tongue's danced as he felt her hands move up into his dark red hair. Willing himself to concentrate and not become lost in their embrace, Izzy moved his hands to her waist where her short sweatshirt was riding up and he felt her smooth soft skin under his hands. Suddenly she moaned into his mouth and starting moving her body rhythmically against his. He started to feel a level of desire he had never felt before enter him. She was beautiful and she was kissing him and she felt amazing. He knew a lot of the boys in his class were sexually experienced, but he was not and even though he was in heaven, he mustered all his determination and pulled away from her kissing. He looked up at Mimi, her pink hair framing her face, her breathing heavy, her mouth red from his kisses and her beautiful brown eyes staring frankly into his.
"Mimi-" He started, shocked by how out of breath he was "is this-what-" he struggled for the right question, and she kissed him again quickly, and leaned down and whispered in his ear,
"Please...just tonight, I want..." she gasped as he kissed her neck. Izzy decided then that she could have whatever she wanted, she could set the pace and he was powerless in her control. Coming back up to her lips he whispered back to her
"You can have whatever you want." And as he captured her lips again he slid his hands under her loose sweatshirt and was surprised to find that she wasn't wearing anything underneath, and that her breasts fit perfectly in his hands.
All in all despite the tangle and confusion of clothes and body parts and inexperience it was over rather quickly. Thankfully Izzy had seen enough of the videos that Tai and Matt had loaned him and Mimi, who obviously had much more experience than he did guided him on the rest. The few minutes that he was inside her were the most glorious and satisfying of his young life. And only afterwards as they laid on his floor out of breath and delirious did he think about what had actually happened. He wanted to think about it forever, to quantify and analyze each second, but as they laid there side by side, the lateness of the hour caught up to them and the last thing he remembered thinking about was how beautiful she truly was.

Izzy awoke to the sunlight streaming in his bedroom window and the realization that he was still lying naked on the floor with his pants bunched around his ankles. Remembering the night before he sat up quickly and looked around his room. Mimi was gone. He quickly stood up and pulled his pants back up and buttoned them. "Did I dream that?" He wondered. He scanned the room and realized there was an email open on his desktop. Pulling out the chair he sat down and read what it said.

Dear Izzy,

Thank you for last night, it was wonderful. Thank you for being such a good friend. I have to leave to catch my flight back to the States. Could we keep what happened between us our little secret? I hope we can still be friends,

Sincerely,
Mimi

Izzy put his head in his hands and groaned out loud. What had they done? Was their friendship ruined? When he closed his eyes all he could see was the way she looked beneath him, the way it felt to be inside her,
"STOP!" He commanded himself. "She's your friend, that's all she is! Why would a beautiful girl like that want a nerd like you?!"
