Mimi.
Mimi always thinks of herself but, deep down, I know she is a good person. I mean, since we've been here, she's gone from selfish brat to thinks of other people first brat. Still, that's Mimi. You have to take her as she comes.
"Matt? Why are you still up?" Startled, Matt looked up to see Tai standing next to him. Matt mantally cursed himself. He had been so deep in his thoughts that he didn't even notice Tai had come up to him. Still, he had a reputation to hold up and he couldn't let Tai see him not being his usual cool, don't touch the hair, no autographs, please, yeah, whatever self.
"Oh. Hey Tai. I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd just sit here and think about things. You want me to get Joe up, or do you want the honors? I know you, him and Izzy have watch tonight." Matt looked over at Joe who, as it on cue, let out a huge snore. Matt smirked as Tai got a paniced look on his face.
"I have to wake THAT up? You must be joking! Well, wish me luck." Tai walked over to where Joe and Gomamon were sleeping.
"Good luck."Matt said. "You'll need it." Tai began trying to wake Joe up by poking, prodding and shaking him. Joe just rolled over and snored louder.
"Joe! Get up!" Tai began tohe poke, prod and shake thing again.
"I don't want to go to church, Mommy. Let me sleep some more." Tai and Matt rolled thier eyes and laughed.
"I'll take watch Tai. I want to be alone anyway. Go to sleep." Matt stood up and began walking toward the edge of camp. They were sleeping in a shallow cave and only had to watch the enterance. The cave was about 20 ft. deep, 6 ft. high and 8 ft. wide. It was perfect for camp. The enterance was about 10 ft. from the lake shore and with a full moon out, you could see all the way across the lake. Matt went to the mouth of the cave and began to play his harmonica. On nights that he had taken watch, Matt had composed songs about all of the other kids. Kari and TK's songs were light and happy. Tai's song was quick and reckless. Just like him. Joe and Izzy's songs started cautious then loosened up. Sora and Mimi's songs were light and airy and Matt's song was dark and depressing.
Just like I am. Cold and hard and unfeeling. Just like a black stone. Sometimes I wonder if anyone would notice if I just dropped down and died.
Matt began playing his song as he looked over the lake. The moon was begining to set. It would be dawn in a few hours. Suddenly, Matt heard someone clear thier throat. He turned his head to see who had come up behind him. Joe stepped out of the shadow of a tree and walked over to where Matt was sitting.
"Tai woke me up a little bit ago. He said it was my turn to keep watch. You can go back to the camp."
Matt stood up and stretched. He was so tired that he didn't even notice that he had dropped his harmonica when Joe told him to go to bed. When he got back to camp, Matt noticed that Mimi was tossing and turning in her sleep.
She must be having a bad dream. I wonder if I should wake her up.
Matt was thinking about what to do when he remembered a story that his mother told TK before his parents split up. In the story, a prince woke up a princess by giving her a kiss.
Well, I'm no prince but it might work anyway.
Matt bent over where Mimi was lying and began to press his lips to hers in a soft, barely feelable kiss. He just wanted to ease her pain, not wake her up. When she had stopped tossing he stood up and looked at her lying there. He had to admit, when she wasn't tossing or whining about her feet, Mimi was pretty. He was so wrapped up in thinking about Mimi that Matt didn't notice that Joe was hiding behind a tree. He had found Matt's harmonica and was going to return it to him when he saw him kissing her. He had seen the whole thing.
