Hey, kids, what's up? Ami Ne here, nothing new in the story, just editing and doing maintenance on all my stories. Just trying to make them better. This is a Taiora fic so if that pairing doesn't tickle your fancy then you may leave now or suck it up and read it anyway. Flaming will not be tolerated, but constructive criticism is always accepted willingly. So, now if you're all ready, just a few ground points, to have this story work, Ken has to be evil, I'm so sorry Ken lovers! This takes place during the second season obviously so that's how you'll know how old they are. Hm…what else do I have to tell you…..oh yeah! I don't own Digimon, if I did this would be in the series not a fan fiction web site….now sit back, relax, and enjoy the fic……(reviewing would be a plus too).
SMACK! The tennis ball hit Sora's racket as she hit it to the other side. It bounced once on the other side, but before her opponent could hit it back, it bounced again and then went out of bounds. Therefore, Sora had won…again. She sighed as she walked off the court; yeah sure tennis was fun, but soccer would always be number one to Sora. She played tennis because the high school had no girls soccer team, she just didn't put her heart in it.
"Good job, Sora!" called Tai as he came out of the stands to greet her.
"Thanks," she answered and tried to smile as if she meant it. Tai knew the smile was forced but didn't say anything, he knew she would tell him if she wanted to.
Just then the rest of the digi-distend came up to congratulate her. "I say we go out to celebrate!" Matt suggested.
"More like pay-for-Matt's-food-because-he's-broke and needs an excuse to borrow money." teased T.K. as he dodged Matt's fist that was aimed at his face.
"You two can fight later come on," said Kari as the group headed to their favorite place to eat.
at ……youuuuu guessed it! Their favorite eatery! (Yeah, yeah I'm weird get over it)
"You guys are all gonna come to my soccer game tomorrow right?" asked Tai as he stuffed his face with noodles.
"Don't we always?" questioned Izzy, "Geeze, Tai, get some table manners."
While Izzy and Tai argued over Tai's table manners Sora was in deep thought. She really wanted to play soccer, but to do that she needed a team to be on. They wouldn't let her play on local girl teams because she was "too rough". Which wasn't her fault, she had always played on guy teams against guy teams so she played like one she supposed. So what could she do?
"Earth to Sora! Come in Sora, do you copy?" Matt said as he tried to get her attention.
"Sorry guys guess I spaced out," she apologized.
"Yeah…well anyway we decided to go to the digital world tomorrow after Tai's game, you wanna come? Matt asked.
"Sure."
"Ok then, I'll call Davis. T.K. you can tell Cody and Yolie," Tai instructed. (Oh, FYI Davis and co. weren't at the tennis match, just the old digi-destined…sorry if you got confused).
"Geeze, we're not even there yet and you act like our leader again," Matt said sarcastically.
Every one laughed and then went on their separate ways back home.
That night Sora came up with a plan to play soccer. What if she dressed up like a guy and played on the high school team with Tai? She played just as well as he did (if not better -). It was crazy, but it had worked in the movies so why not give it a try? (I don't know if that's true but let's go with in k?). She decided to ask Kari and Tai for help in the morning.
So, the next morning she called Kari and told her about her plan. "Hm…I don't know Sora, I suppose it could work…but what if it doesn't?" Kari asked.
"Well," Sora sighed, "I guess if it doesn't I'll go back to tennis"
"If they don't kick you out of the sports program entirely."
"Thanks for your support," Sora answered wryly.
"I didn't mean it like that, if you're absolutely sure you wanna do this then come over as soon as you can and we'll see what we can do."
"Ok I'll be there in 5 min. tops! Bye Kari and thanks!"
After they hang up Kari sighed, "I hope this works but I have a bad feeling about this…"
in….5 minutes! (Duh)
Once at Tai's house they explained the plan to him. "Are you sure about this Sora?" he asked as they went through his crap-filled closet looking for extra soccer gear.
"Of course I'm sure. I already asked your coach and he said it 'wasn't a sport for young ladies'" she mocked the coaches voice. "So, I'm just gonna prove to him I'm just as good as his precious soccer team."
Tai laughed, "I've never seen you so hyped up about something that could get you into trouble."
"Well, desperate times call for desperate measures, I like soccer just as much as you and you would do anything to play too, you know" she countered.
"I admit you're dedicated, but I think I am more so." he joked.
Sora rolled her eyes "you're not dedicated your obsessed."
Tai blushed and pretended to be looking very thoroughly in a box so that Sora couldn't see.
Sora laughed, "Anyway, Tai, what exactly are we looking for again? We've already got clothes and stuff like that what else do we need?" As much as she liked being here with Tai, his closet was full of crap and it smelt funny.
"Well, we need to do something about your face and hair," he started.
Sora looked confused "What's wrong with my face?"
Tai almost fell over at the question, 'Oh great,' he though, 'it'll be the time I gave her that hair clip all over again' (by the way I love that movie ). He could feel a blush coming back to his cheeks "Damn and I just got over it the first time." he muttered.
"What did you say?" Sora asked, still confused. Maybe Tai was going crazy, he was mumbling to himself now.
Meanwhile, Tai felt like his face was on fire now, "Uhhh…no…nothing's wrong with your…your face, it's just that…um…how to put this….it's just that you uh…have a pretty feminine face and um we need to uh…h...hide that" he stuttered, now as red as Tentomon.
Now it was Sora's turn to blush. Had Tai just said she was pretty? "Oh…ok well what did you have in mind? A ski mask?" she asked, trying to lighten the uncomfortable situation they were in.
"Well, no" answered Tai, "I was thinking goggles might do the trick to hold your hair back."
"You actually own more than one pair?" Sora joked.
"Very funny and yes I DO have another pair….I think…Anyway I was also thinking we could use some gel to spike your hair. I think Kari has something like that." answered Tai.
After they found an extra pair of goggles Kari and Sora went into the bathroom to see what they could do.
A few minutes later the pair reappeared, "Alright tell me the truth do I look like a guy?" Sora asked skeptically.
If she hadn't been so serious about this whole thing Tai would have laughed, but being the nice guy he is he decided to…well….be a nice guy, "Welll, I'm not sure I'm the person to ask. I've known you forever, remember? I'd know you anywhere."
"He's godda point Sora, we need to test it on someone who doesn't know you as well." agreed Kari.
"We could test it on Mom to see if it works," Tai suggested.
"Tai, she's known Sora just as long as you that's not going to work" Kari said rolling her eyes. She wished her brother would think things through once and a while.
"Well do you have a better idea?" Tai shot back.
Sora rolled her eyes, "Calm down Tai we'll try your idea and see how it goes, it couldn't hurt, I guess."
Tai smiled triumphantly at is sister and led the way to the kitchen where his mom was cooking her next weird concoction (bum bum bummmm).
"Wait!" Sora stopped them before they got to the kitchen, "I'm gonna need a guy's name!"
"Oh yeah…."Tai scratched his head, "hm…how about Sam (Samwise the Brave!….eh sorry….just finished watching the Two Towers for the 4th time…wonder if that's healthy…anyway continue the story…)?"
"Sam? Is that the best you can do?" whined Sora.
"Hey you asked, and I answered take it or leave it" he said.
"Oh alright, let's get this over with" Sora sighed as they continued to the kitchen.
Once there Tai went over to his mom, dragging a reluctant Sora behind him, "Um…Mom…I'd like you to meet my…new soccer buddy (eh I think that's a horrible name but I can't think any others tell me if you do), Sam"
Sora cringed at the name but smiled and said hello in the manliest voice she could muster.
Tai's mom turned around, "Hello dear, oh before I forget, your mom called and she needs your help at the flower shop."
The three digi-destined sweatdropped, "Do I at least look like a guy Mrs. K? (I don't really know Tai's last name I just know it starts w/ a "K")," asked Sora.
"Well, Sora I don't know what you're trying to do but I suppose you do. Though I'm not really sure why you need to look like a guy..." Mrs. Kamaya (is that it?) answered.
Sora looked down at the ground, "Do you think it's convincing enough to fool Tai's soccer coach?" she asked quietly.
"Ooooh, now I understand. Well it might Sora but do be careful, those boys are pretty rough sometimes." Mrs. K cautioned.
"I've beaten Tai plenty of times. I'll be fine" Sora said before heading back upstairs with Kari to change.
"Tai, you watch out for her ok?"
"I already planned on doing that anyway, mom, don't worry" Tai said as he starred after Sora.
End Chap. 1
Yay! I hope you guys liked it, lemme know what's wrong and if I made any spelling errors again (if you've read my Zoids story you know what I'm talking about). Remember, I can't make it better unless you tell me what sucks!
Peace Out
