Summary: Sora and Matt are married...much to Tai's displeasure. How far will Tai go to win her back?
Warnings: Occasional swearing, mild OOC but we tried to avoid it as much as possible.
A/N: Remember we are all novices here so don't go expecting great things from us.Flames suck if you don't like it DON'T read it. However, creative critisicm is always welcome. =)
Whilst we remain true to the fact that Matt is extremely awesome, he does not own Sora! TAI OWNS SORA!! …now she sounds like a prostitute. But she isn't. She's cool. Full stop. Enough said.
Now, we aren't saying Digimon is crap…just the ending. So0o0o0 we decided that we should re-write it the way we wanted it to end. It's a vent so we don't end up sending death threats to the idiots at the Digimon…place.
Thoughts are in italics. It's really inconvenient how old they are supposed to be in the real Digimon. So for the sake of our story we are going to assume that they are 25 (for now anyway).

As she stood, watching her reflection in the gold-edged mirror, Sora began to believe that women honestly could look almost perfect on their wedding day. Granted, it had taken a team of highly trained professionals and a whole lot of money to make her look that way, but she didn't really care. If she was going to have a celebrity wedding of sorts, she might as well feel like one.
Truthfully, she could have done without the whole celebrity wedding thing. The press coverage they'd been getting since Matt's voyage to Mars had made that pretty much impossible, but it wasn't like he'd been refusing. Surely they could have just as easily had a very small reception with only family and close friends invited like they had originally planned, but for some strange reason Sora had found herself agreeing to what Matt called the 'wedding of the year'. Well, she was supposed to be supportive wasn't she? Even so, the decision had been one she had immediately regretted; for oddly enough the hundreds of unknown people that were sitting in the church at that moment were making her feel just a little uneasy. There had been a few familiar faces though; TK was the best man of course, and she was sure she'd seen Izzy and Joe in the crowd somewhere. Even Tai had been there sitting somewhere in the back. She didn't remember inviting him, but then again, half of the country had been on the list of invitees, so of course trying to remember specific names was always going to be impossible.
"Any time now Sora." Hearing the voice of her maid of honour, Sora was suddenly reminded of the situation. This was happening, and it was happening now. Smiling in what she hoped was a convincing way; she turned, noticing the pair of hands that now rested comfortably on her shoulders. "Thanks Kari… I think I'm ready." With that statement, however, she began to truly wonder if she was.
"I wonder if I made the right decision…" At that moment, the organ began to play, eradicating many of the thoughts that had been running through her mind. It was starting.
Moving from his slouched position, Tai sat bolt upright as the music started. The doors opening behind him, he joined the mass of people as they swivelled around, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the bridal party. They didn't have to wait long. Within moments, the bridesmaids had made their way down the hallway, stopping once they had reached their destination. Tai couldn't help but smile at the sight of his sister as the maid of honour, though he was still confused as to why she'd been asked to be such an important part of everything when all he had was a crowded pew at the back of the church. Surely his close friendship with both the bride and the groom should mean something? Apparently not. Sighing, he looked back to the door, his focus only returning when he heard the music pick up. Sora entered the church elegantly; once forgotten thoughts about her coming rushing from the back of his mind as she walked down the aisle, looking the picture of perfection. Wistfully he watched her, tracing her movements with his eyes, yet keeping his head perfectly still. As she came to a stop at the altar, he sighed again. "This is going to be a very long day…"
As soon as the ceremony ended, people began flocking to the exit. Tai remained seated – he wasn't really in the mood to be crushed physically, he'd had enough mental anguish for one day. Waiting a few moments before finally concluding that the people would be less violent towards him if he attempted to exit peacefully, he stood up, ruffling his hair (it was a nervous habit of his). Trudging towards the door, he managed to escape the rush of people just in time to see Matt and Sora driving off in the distance. "Maybe they just wouldn't notice if I wasn't at the reception…" Sighing, Tai began to walk to his car. He could think all he wanted – he knew he was still going to that reception.
Tai didn't really know why he'd bothered to show up to the reception at all. He'd had a few conversations with Izzy and Joe, which had been fun, but other than that not much had happened. Apparently Yolei and Ken were married, which was good for them, but made him wonder: why was it that everyone around him was getting paired up, and here he was, sitting in the corner by himself? He started to toss around the idea that maybe he should get his act together, but then realised – it wasn't like he hadn't tried. "You know what? This was a bad idea. Maybe I'll just leave and no-one will notice…" Just as he was about to stand up and make his way towards the door, he noticed Sora out of the corner of his eye. At first he figured she must just be on her way to talk to Matt, but was soon shocked to find that she was, in fact, making her way towards him instead. "Okay, this is your chance. Think of something witty." Instead, all he could come up with was a nervous "Oh, hey Sora." Resisting the urge to roll his eyes at his own stupidity, he kept his eyes on her.
"Hey Tai," she grinned, obviously waiting for him to say something else.
"Remember, witty." "Umm… Congratulations… On getting married," he replied, his voice filled with uncertainty. "Oh, you're just brilliant aren't you?"
"Thanks. I'm really glad you could come."
This was his chance to redeem himself. If he could just pull a really good line here, maybe… Maybe what? What did he even want? At that point, he realised that he really wasn't sure anymore.
"I wouldn't have missed it for the world." He'd done it. Sure, not even he quite knew what it meant, but at the time it really had sounded right. Sora was still smiling too, which must have meant that he'd done something right. Either that or she was just happy because it was her wedding day. Suddenly, he remembered. That was just it – it was her wedding day. What was he even trying to do? He was just about to attempt to figure it out, when she broke his concentration.
"Well, thanks again." And with that she was gone.

Well, that's all for tonight.
