** This is my first attempt at a romance, and I think I did it right. I tried to make it unique, by incorperating the Digimon as much as I could while still focusing on the charecters themselves. Enjoy! **
Sometimes Tai would just get lost in the heat of different moment, forget where
he was, and seem like his mind was off in some far away dimension. There he was,
supposedly working hard on a chemistry quiz, but finding himself unable to take his eyes
of the new girl in class. Earlier, when he first encountered her, she not only managed tog
et past him on the soccer field, but single-handedly scored five points.
She was not only athletically gifted, but friendly and beautiful to boot. Her
flowing chestnut hair turned about swiftly with every turn she made, and her dainty hands
moved with grace and finesse as she ran. As of yet, he wasn't entirely certain as to her
name, but believed it began with an A (and found out later it was Adora, having been
able to glance at the upper-right corner of her test paper when passing his up). Agumon
even seemed to feel similirly abouther partner digimon, a flirtasious Floramon. He
maintained firmly in his mind, that if he hadn't been ogling her the whole time, he would
have definitely been able to stop her.
Two people (or beings which resembled people) were generally the only ones
who would notice his moments of absence from reality: Matt, his best friend blessed with
the somewhat annoying tendency to read him like a poorly written and predictable book;
and Agumon, his dinosaur-like Digimon companion. Unfortunately, Matt didn't take
chemistry, and Agumon was fast asleep. Given this, he didn't come back to Earth during
the entire period, and managed to fail the test with ease, having only written one answer
consisting of "Pisces" for the question "What is the thirteenth element on the Periodic
table?" When the lunch bell rang, he realized he had the perfect opportunity to introduce
himself.
"Tai!" He proclaimed frantically, as he bolted to her side. "Uh, That is, I'm
Tai, Hi!" Her lack for a response other then reaching deep within her pockets for
pepper-spray (just in case) left him feeling somewhat dejected. However, in romance as
in life, he encouraged himself to always press onwards. She started to walk away, but he
decided to follow her, and attempt to make up for his previous folly.
"I just thought I'd introduce myself, you know, because you're new." He
stammered, "So you know, I...In that case, if someone asks you if you know anyone,
you can say 'Sure, I know Tai!'"
"Uh, thanks." She giggled, noticing how nervous he was. "But I sort of already
knew that... I mean, you and your friend were all over the news last year."
"Well, I don't like to toot my own horn," Tai grinned coyly, "So I didn't think I'd
mention it. I just thought you'd be intimidated by my amazing skill, as leader of the
original digidestined."
"Yes, your skill never seems to fail you." She nodded sarcastically, "Except when
you leave your sleeping Digimon in Chemistry class."
"Well..." He announced, frantically searching his mind for a decent cover,
"Everyone's aloud to make one mistake!" Unfortunately, this reply lacked the brilliance
he was searching for, and Tai soon realized she wasn't taking him entirely seriously.
Excusing himself with "Well, see you again sometime!", as he returned to his previous
class to find an off put and angered Agumon sitting at his desk with his arms folded over
his chest.
"Forget about me again?" The Digimon grunted.
"You just looked so peaceful," Tai smirked, "I couldn't bare to disturb you!"
After what seemed like their umpteenth argument that month, the two proceeded to the
over-crowded cafeteria Tai took a moment to reflect on how his situation with Adora
couldn't get much worse, before taking a seat between Matt and Izzy. He forewent
buying his usual meal, but rather sat silently in his seat planning his next move.
"Girl troubles Tai?" Matt inquired, without even looking up from his lunch-tray.
"I hate it when you do that." Tai growled, tapping his finger against the table.
"Well, tell me about what happened." His friend shot back, "I can help, I know all
about women."
"This new girl, the one who..." Tai trailed off for a moment, "Caught me off-
guard in the soccer-field this morning. I talked to her at the end of chemistry, and it turns
out that we didn't have any chemistry... Well, I didn't anyway."
"Say no more," Matt grinned, slapping him on the back. "I'll talk her up for you,
by the end of the day, she'll totally go out with you. I'm giving you my Matt-isfaction
guarantee."
"It's not that simple." Tai mumbled, "You know how my last few dates have
gone, this girl's different. I don't want her to end up that way, you know..."
"Like that time you went to that dance club!" Izzy laughed hysterically, "And you
kept stepping on that girls feet, and you both tripped and her face ended up in the punch-
bowl!"
"Or the time we making out with that other girl, and she get her hands caught in
your goggles!" Agumon followed, "And Kari walked in the door, and the girl tried to roll
down off of you. So you both fell on the floor, and she kept screaming 'Oh God! It
hurts!' and Kari thought-"
"That's enough!" Tai interrupted, "We all know I've had some bad experiences!
My point was, I don't want to make the same type of mistakes around this girl!"
"No problem man," Matt stood up, "Just make it a double date with me and Sora,
I'll be there to help you out."
"Uh, that's alright, don't go to so much trouble!" Tai struggled, finding himself
unable to stop his friend from going over to her. Slamming his head against the table, he
realized he done what he had earlier though to be impossible; made the situation worse.
