Mimi breathed deeply as their kiss finished with Izzy pulling away. "I have to go" Izzy muttered as their faces pressed together and they rubbed noses. The rain trickled down their faces and made it look like Mimi was crying. Little did Izzy know, that she was. "Are you crying?" he asked with a laugh
"Nah, it's the rain, you go, have fun" Mimi said as she leaned backwards slowly. Izzy nodded
"Thanks, I'll see you soon" he said as a taxi pulled up. He ran over and got in the yellow automobile and it pulled away slowly. Leaving Mimi reaching for Izzy in the rain. "Mimi" Palmon said slowly as she looked up at her partner's bleak, sad expression. "Mimi..." Palmon said slowly, reaching her vines up she wrapped it around Mimi's outstretched hand and pulled it down "Thanks, Palmon" Mimi said with a faint smile. Palmon nodded and reached her vines up, wrapping the around Mimi in an embrace she led her to the nearby bus stop to get her under cover. "Mimi, I think we should take you home" Palmon said as they sat there, hugging while Mimi sobbed. Mimi tried to muster an answer but none came so she simply nodded and started crying again "Hush. Hush. We need you to pay for us, after all I'm a Digimon" Palmon explained. Mimi listened to the logic and wiped her eyes as the bus arrived. She gave Palmon her hat and walked on "One adult, one child" she said to the driver as she gave him her credit card. He swiped it, gave her a ticket and returned it, and closed the doors, leaving them to go pick their seats.
Mimi arrived home around twenty minutes later with Palmon. They climbed out and walked inside quickly, careful to avoid attention as they headed up to her room "Are you excited about your birthday tommorow?" Palmon asked with a big smile. Mimi nodded
"Yeah, but my parents said I can't have a party and everyone but Izzy hasn't spoke to me in over a week" Mimi moaned
"I'm sure they are just busy" Palmon said with a grin
"I wanna be with my friends though" Mimi said with a sigh
"Well, howabout I take you to the mall for the day and we have a girly night in on the night" Palmon said with a grin, "since it's my last night" Palmon muttered under her breath. Mimi grinned with joy.
"What did you say?" Mimi asked, curiously.
"Oh, nothing" Palmon replied
"I think you said, SHOPPING!" Mimi squealed with glee as she began to rifle through her room to pick out clothes for them both tommorow and find her retail therapy fund.

Mimi awoke to a little creature bounding on her stomach, as she opened her eyes slowly she muttered "Palmon?" she asked as she reached over and turned on her electric coffee maker. As she opened her eyes properly after her first sip of her morning caffeine she saw Mr. Cugglewump lick the coffee mug, "Palmon?" Mimi muttered, her eyes saddened. Mimi sighed, it must have all been a dream. She leaned down to Mr. Cugglewump and kissed him then pointed at her cheek, he licked it and she gave him a bag of dog treats as she moved to get out of bed, as she did the door swung open "I'm getting ready, mum..." Mimi said with a sigh as she spun her legs off the edge of the bed and looked at the door, instead of her mum she saw Palmon with a tray of full english breakfast. "Oh, Palmon!" Mimi exclaimed, running the her partner, who extended her vines to hold the tray above Mimi's head while she embraced Palmon tightly. "Mimi, I was just downstairs" Palmon said slowly with a confused look on her face. Mimi grinned as Palmon wiped away a tear of hers
"I thought it was just a dream" she muttered
"Well it wasn't so get dressed" Palmon said as she set the tray down on Mimi's bedside table and slid out of the hug, closing the door.
Mimi nodded and handed Palmon her clothes and grabbed her own. They took around an hour to get dressed, stopping repeatedly to laugh and have pillow fights as Mimi tried to overcome her excitement. Eventually they left Mimi's house and there was a cab already waiting "Hop in" Palmon said with a grin as she opened the door to the taxi for Mimi.
"Why, thank you." Mimi said with a giggle as she clambered into the yellow car and smiled at the driver. Palmon passed him some money and climbed in after Mimi, shutting the door. As she did the taxi took off and they began the short drive to the mall.
"When we get there, let's go to the nail salon's, the hair salon's, the clothes stores, the" Mimi paused as she Palmon looking intently and listening. "What?" Palmon asked, Mimi hugged her with a smile
"You forgot the make-up counter" Palmon said as she returned the gesture. Mimi nodded
"And the food court" she said with a mischievous grin. Palmon nodded and they started laughing.

They arrived quickly and ran into the mall, staring with starry eyes at the beauty and wonder of the mall as they tore through it, heading straight to the hair salon. "I bet you will look gorgeous with your hair up!" Mimi exclaimed to Palmon as they stood on the escalators excitedly. "You'll look amazing no matter what!" Palmon said with a grin as the phone that was on a string around her neck beeped.
"What was that?" Mimi asked
"Oh, nothing, probably just Gatomon wanting to chat" Palmon replied.
"You have a phone, that's so awesome, what's your number?" Mimi asked excitedly, reaching for Palmon's phone.
"Oh, I know it off by heart, but just let me check" Palmon began, she said the numbers slowly, as if she were reading them when in fact she was reading the text message, she nodded and sent a hasty reply as they reached the top of the escalator.
"Okay, got it" Mimi said with a smile as they ran to the left, ignoring the beautiful flower arrangement at the top and heading straight for the hair salon, careful not to slip on the newly polished tiled flooring.

Hours later after they had done all their shopping and Palmon and Mimi were carrying too many bags to buy anything else they sat down in the food court and smiled at each other for a long time. Palmon's phone bleeped and Mimi sighed "Why do you get more text messages than me!?" she exclaimed angrily.
"Maybe it's 'cos my eyes are more beautiful!?" Palmon said with a cheeky laugh as she replied quickly and discreetly to the text. Mimi laughed and hugged Palmon "Ima go get a burger, want one?" Mimi asked.
"Yeah sure, I just dunno how you keep your gorgeous figure when you eat whatever you want!" Palmon moaned with a cheeky smile. Mimi grinned back "Well maybe I delete the extra data, little miss size eight!" Mimi replied as she walked off quickly to get their food.
When she returned Palmon was on the phone, she hushed her voice as Mimi placed a burger in front of her and said bye quickly, she spun around on her chair, so she was facing Mimi again and smiled "Look at you, miss popular" Mimi said as she took a large bite of her burger and laughed, her laugh was cute and chirpy, she could see why Izzy loved her enough to do what he was doing. "Hello, Palmon?" Mimi asked as Palmon stared into space, thinking. Mimi sighed and bit her burger again, Palmon reached down and grabbed her burger, she saw the bed of peas underneath and reached for a spoon. Mimi raised and eyebrow and slowly reached for a spoon of her own. It took them three more seconds before peas began to fly all over the foodcourt as an all out war began.
This will be continued in a final chapter, I'd do it in here but sadly I'm rather tired.
