"I'm glad to be back
home," Tai said, stretching. He had just returned from the Digital World, where
he had been trapped for 100 years (though it was only a week in "our" time), and he was ready to go home
and get some well-deserved shut-eye.
"Me too," Sora
agreed, yawning. They were standing with their friend Izzy, waiting for the bus
to come. Tai and Sora lived close to
each other, but Izzy lived on the other side of town and they decided to keep
him company until the time came for him to leave.
"Yeah, but I do miss
the Digimon. Hopefully we'll see them
again soon," Izzy admitted, sadly. He
sniffed back a tear when he thought about his own Digimon companion, Tentomon. He had never had any real friends before his
journey and it was Tentomon who taught him about friendship and how to work
with others. He was also the most
intelligent beetle Izzy ever met.
"Yeah, I'm really
gonna miss Biyomon," Sora said quietly, her thoughts filled with images of the
pink bird whom she had grown to love, the way a mother loves a daughter. She
thought about the way Biyomon looked, sounded, acted. Tears began to trickle down her soft cheeks. Not wanting to show her vulnerable side to
the boys, she turned away and recomposed herself.
"I'll miss Agumon
too," Tai said, silently chuckling when he thought of the energetic orange
dinosaur. Though at first the Digimon
freaked him out, he grew to love and respect the creature. As he looked into the star filled night, he
wondered if he would ever seen his friend again.
It wasn't long
before the bus pulled alongside the kids. Saying goodbye and waving to his friends, Izzy got on board. Tai and Sora watched until the bus was out
of sight, and then stood awkwardly in their spots for a few moments. Finally Tai turned to Sora and smiled
meekly.
"Hey Sora, do you,
uh, want me to, uh, walk you home?" he asked nervously, his voice uneasy and
shaky.
"Sure, why not,"
Sora shrugged. Tai's eyes lite up with
delight and excitement and a wide grin spread across his face. Putting his hands in his pockets and, trying
to act as manly as he could, he began to head in the direction of Sora's
apartment. Sora giggled as she followed
her goofy friend.
"Hey Tai, can I ask
you a question?" Sora asked as they approached her apartment building.
"Okay, I guess," Tai
said reluctantly, his palms growing sweaty. His heart was racing for the past several moments, though he was trying
to stay cool. He didn't want Sora to see
how nervous, how intimidated, he was.
"Why are you acting
so nervous?"
"Uh, um, that's kind
of private," Tai said. He couldn't tell
her the true reason. He couldn't let
her know how he was feeling deep inside. He knew how she would react, and he knew he would end up with a broken
heart. He had been keeping his feelings
buried deep within him for such a long time. He couldn't tell Sora what he was feeling. Not now. Not yet.
"I can understand
that. If you don't want to talk about
it, you don't want to talk about it," Sora said nonchalantly.
Whew Tai thought, relieved that he wasn't going
to have to explain himself.
"Well, here's my
house," Sora said, stopping in front of the huge building. Tai nodded, his heart beating even faster
than it had been a while earlier. Something deep within his soul told him it was time to tell Sora what
had been haunting him for so long.
"Goodnight," Sora
said, beginning to walk to the front door.
"Wait Sora. I have to tell you something," Tai
exclaimed. Sora turned around and
looked at him. Gosh he looks
cute tonight she thought to herself. Wait! No he doesn't! Shut up!
"What?" Sora asked, brushing a strand of light brown
hair off her forehead. Tai took a deep
breath. His heart felt as if it was
going to jump out of his chest. Wiping
his palms on his shorts, he looked in Sora's eyes said, in his quietest voice:
"I don't know how to
say this but, Sora, I love you."
