The Digiworld is at peace and Matt is at peace…I think.

At school…

"Oh my gosh! It's Matt Ishida! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!" screamed a crowd of girls.

"Oh no not again! Can't I just take a walk like a normal person without being chased?" Matt asked himself as he quickly ran out the door. Wonder where this leads to, he thought. Well at least there are no more girls chasing me. Bong! "Huh? What's that?" He then walks a little further and hears a voice.

"So I heard you signed up for the tennis team. Can't take soccer anymore? Nevermind, are you ready to play? If not, I don't want to waste my time with losers," some guy mocked.

"Losers!" cried a sweet yet annoyed and familiar voice.

"Yes, I know for a fact that girls make the worst tennis players."

"What?! Are you going to stand around or are you man enough to take me on?" said the familiar voice.

Hmmm, Matt thought, it sounds as if that girl and guy cannot stand each other. Matt continued to walk up the hill. Once on top, he could see two tennis courts. One was empty and the other one had a boy with blonde hair and green eyes standing across from a red-head with great looking legs. He looked closer to see…Sora!

Matt walked down the hill as the tennis match started. Wow, she is good. He could see the concentration on her face as she hit the ball back. His head was like a ping pong ball watching the flying sphere go back and forth.

"So what do you think now, Sean?" she yelled as she hit the ball again.

Finally, he saw Sean angrily throw his tennis racket on the ground and storm out. Sora turned behind her, not noticing Matt leaning against a tree watching her. She felt the hair on her neck stand up. Instantly she knew someone was watching her. Sora quickly put her racket in her bag and slung it over her shoulder as she rushed out.

"Hey Sora."

"Ah! Matt! Don't do that. You scared me."

"Sorry Sora."

"So what brings you to this part of the school? Come to watch me play tennis?" she playfully asked.

"Well what would you do if I did?" he asked her. He stared into her eyes and somehow felt compelled to hold her eyes.

"Akkk!!! I'm late!" yelled some kid dressed in a white rabbit costume carrying a gold pocket watch in his hands.

That made Sora break the gaze to see who yelled.

"Wait!" Sora cried out.

"What?" asked the kid dressed as the rabbit.

"What time is it?"

"3 o'clock. Now if you excuse me I've got to go." He ran off.

"Oh no! I am going to be late for my-nevermind. See you later Matt. I've got to be going. Bye!" Sora quickly ran away to her car and drove off.

"I wonder what she's late to…" Matt thought aloud.

Sora parked her car. She went to her trunk and took out her two dresses. As soon as she got into the building, she saw her mother waiting for her impatiently.

"You're late."

"Sorry. It was…"

"Tennis?" Her mother sighed. "Go get into the dressing room. They have to do your make-up and hair first."

The whole Digidestined gang sat watching Matt's band play. There was one empty seat. This was now the second month that Sora had not even come or gone out with her friends. Matt took note of that as he sang.

Tai frowned as he saw the empty seat to his right. Where is she? Barely anyone gets to see her, especially since she is no longer in soccer. I wish I knew what was wrong with Sora. She is my bestfriend. Two, months is an awful long time.

Sora sat still as her shoulder length hair was being washed, dried, and styled. The hairstylist, Francisco was now adding a wreath made of pink and white flowers in Sora's hair. Francisco swiveled her chair around so she could see her hair. It now looked exactly like Mimi's hair minus the pink. She noted the wreath on her head and sighed. How did her mother talk her into this?

"Come come. You must get up and go to the make-up people," Francisco said in his french accent.

So Sora was whisked away to get her make-up on.
