Author's Note: So this is my first FanFic so it probably won't be that good, but I thought that it would be fun. I heard this idea as a theory a few places before and figured it would be fun to write about. I do not know the names of the parents, so they are completely made up *wink wink*. I am also going to use the Japanese names and say that the English dub names are nicknames. I have not seen the Japanese dub so if I missuse or misspell something, please help me fix it so that I can go back and fix it. It starts with Taichi in college and I am only 13 so I have not been to college so not quite sure how it works. So sorry if I got something wrong. The beginning is slightly based off Girl Meets World. You'll recognize it when you read it. As said before this is just for fun so a lot of stuff is made up or just not true. Please don't take it too seriously! Any sentences in apostrophes are thinking and sentences inside quotes are speaking aloud. As a final note, in lot of FanFics that use the Japanese names, the suffixs –chan , -kun, and –san are used. I do not know the differences so I won't use them. Please don't hate me :D

This chapter has been revised! 8/25/14

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the material that I am writing about! If I did, I would make a lot more Takari drama and would have confirmed it.

Now without further ado, enjoy my FanFiction!

He eyed the clock for the millionth (AKA second) time that class.

'Only five more minutes' Taichi thought somewhat sadly. This was actually one of the few classes that he hated leaving. It was a creative writing class. The class had nothing to do with his career goal – he wanted to be a diplomat – and seemed more like something Takeru would take. Even though Takeru was only seventeen and still had a couple years or so 'till he had to go to college, he already knew what he wanted to be: a novelist. He even had a rough draft of his first book halfway done. It was going to be based off of their adventures in the Digital World. Taichi considered this a good choice. Since the Digimon had started appearing for others four years ago, and started (and still are) growing in popularity, it would definitely sell well. Not to mention all of the material he had for it.

Taichi only took this class because he thought it would be fun. Writing had always been a secret hobby of his. He had always thought that it was a fun pastime, but it was definitely not something he wanted to go into a career for. It wouldn't work out very well for him. Even though he enjoyed writing he wasn't very good at it.

"Your homework for tonight class is to write a short story where you are the main character. In your story you are fighting for something – anything – that you strongly think is worth fighting for." The professor told them. A few of the students groaned in annoyance. This was not their type of project. And it definitely wasn't Taichi's type of assignment either.

'Okay. Something worth fighting for…What?' he hadn't a clue.

"Now, now class." The professor said quieting them down. "You will not have to read your story to the class unless you please to do so. And it isn't due until after Winter Break." Sighs of relief could be heard throughout the class room.

'At least we get a whole two weeks to finish it.' Taichi thought. Then the bell rang to signal the end of class. Everyone collected their things to leave. It was the last class of the day.

"Have a very Merry Christmas everyone!" he wished them as they exited.

Taichi quickly grabbed his things, wished his friends a Merry Christmas, and then ran to his car. He was stopped halfway there.

"Wait up Tai!" a female voice called. She had long blond hair that went down to her knees. There were a few pink streaks.

"What's up Ali?" Taichi asked as he continued towards his car. His pace had slowed to a walk.

"I didn't want you going home without saying goodbye!" Allison told him.

"Oh, sorry! I hadn't realized that I hadn't said 'bye!" Taichi apologized.

"No worries! That's why I caught you before you left!" she giggled out. Taichi smiled as well. He leaned in for "goodbye". After they broke apart – about thirty seconds later – they said goodbye and Taichi got into his car. He started it up and pulled out of the college. He started to drive towards the nearest Wal-Mart. Luckily it was only a half hour away. As he drove down the road he started figuring out his plan more thoroughly. He planned it very carefully. He parked his car in the Wal-Mart parking lot and went inside. It was time to start part one of his plan.

As he walked around the aisles of Wal-Mart, he had a total brain fart. He had no idea what he was supposed to buy. He had no idea what she wanted. It had been months since he had last seen her and three years since he had been her age (even though he was a guy obviously). After a quick glance at the store, he made a decision. He would look in the food section first.

'Candy?' he thought. He scratched his head. 'What is it that seventeen year old girls like?' He walked up and down the aisles. 'Boys' was the first thought that he had. He quickly dismissed it. Boys was the last thing that he was going to give her. He had made a promise to her. He promised to be up any boyfriends that she might have.

~Flashback~

"Come on Tai!" she had yelled at him, "If I want a boyfriend, that's my decision!"

"Kari, as long as you are my little sister I get say in it!" he had yelled back. Taichi had been sixteen at the time.

"It's my life! Yolei is on her second boyfriend!" Hikari was obviously desperate if she was using Miyako as an example.

"And who is dating Miyako?" Taichi yelled, using Miyako's full name.

"She dated Michael and now she's dating Davis!" That had been a surprise to everyone. No one had expected Miyako and Daisuke to get together. Not in a million years. No one expected them to last either. The only reason Miyako broke up with Michael was because the long distance was too much for them. No one knows how Miyako and Daisuke got together. I had been a miracle though, as their fights had almost ceased. Or at least were a less magnitude than they usually were.

"Oh so now Yolei is the model teenager?" Taichi yelled. Miyako was anything but a model teenager.

"Why are you always so overprotective? Ever since I was little! Well newsflash Tai! I'm not eight anymore! I can handle myself! I'm thirteen! You need a serious reality check!"

"I need a reality check? I'm not the one trying to date boys! I think you're the one in need of a reality check!" Taichi argued.

"When will I get this through your head?" Hikari yelled, hitting the couch in frustration.

"Get what through my head? That you want to date some boy? I know how boys are Kari! I was thirteen once too!"

"Yea? And now your not! You have a girlfriend Tai! She's a nice girl! And Takeru is not any worse!"

"Takeru? Is that who this is about?" Taichi had yelled at her. He loved the younger blonde like a little brother, but he did not want him touching Hikari.

"Maybe it is Taichi!" Now she was getting angry if she was using his full name. "So what?"

"'So what'? 'So what'? So you can't date Takeru!"

"You are way too overprotective!" she yelled, fuming.

"Maybe I am overprotective" he had told her "but that is better than letting Takeru use you and hurt you and do what he will with you!" She had gotten mad, threw her backpack aside and had stomped out of the room.

~End Flashback~

It has been four years since that argument had happened. She didn't seem mad anymore. And she still didn't have a boyfriend. That had been the only "real" argument that they ever had. They were very close siblings. Of course they had a few fights, but not one to that magnitude. Now here he was at Wal-Mart trying to find a gift that she would like so he could surprise her when he gets home. He decided to just throw out his pride and ask a clerk. He went up to a nice young lady.

"Um excuse me." He said walking up to her.

"Yes? Can I help you with some–" She started to ask him. She didn't finish. Just looked at him. After about half a minute she spoke again. "Is that you Taichi?" Taichi was confused but nodded. How could the store clerk recognize him?

"I–I am." He stuttered. The clerk in front of him was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans with the blue apron all of the employees wore. She had long strawberry blonde hair that ran halfway down her back. It was fishtailed. She looked somewhat familiar. As if she used to know her but his mind was too busy to quite place it.

"I haven't seen you in forever! How's it been going?" She asked.

'Okay, so she knows me. I have to slow my hyper active brain down.' He thought and laughed internally. When he put it like that it made him sound smart, which he wasn't really. Just had a lot going through his mind lately between classes, Christmas rapidly approaching, his plan to surprise Hikari, and trying to please his girlfriend Allison. He thought for a moment. Then it hit him and he felt incredibly dumb.

"Good Mimi. When did you get back to Japan?" he asked her.

"A few months ago, Tai. Haven't had time to catch up with too many people. I've only talked to Sora, Matt, Izzy, and TK." She informed him. Taichi was glad to have Mimi back in Japan. It was weird having her living in America. "Anyways, you had a question?" Taichi then remembered what he came for in the first place.

"Yah. I want to buy Kari a gift but have no idea what she wants." Taichi told her.

"I see. Hold old is Kari now…seventeen? So…boys?" she joked. Taichi however did not find it funny and made it very apparent in his expression. "Okay okay. How much money are you willing to spend?" Taichi thought about this for a moment.

"Well, I saved up $300." He told her.

"In that case…buy her an iPhone 5. Now I gotta get back to shelving these or my boss will kill me. Good luck!" Taichi thanked her and ran to the electronics department.

'Oh so many options.' Taichi thought. Shopping was so not his strong point. Once again he was going to have to ask a clerk for help.

"Excuse me." He said towards the guy at the other side of the counter who he once again felt that he recognized. As soon as the guy looked towards him, he saw that it was none other than Koushiro. "Oh hey Izzy!" Taichi said.

"Hey Tai. What brings you here?" Koushiro asked him.

"Why are you working at Wal-Mart?" Taichi questioned him. Koushiro immediately reddened.

"I'm supposed to be Tech support but I'm here because the guy who was working had to run an errand."

"But your at Wal-Mart?" Taichi almost laughed. Koushiro opened his mouth to say something then closed it. "Yes?" Taichi teased.

"Nothing. Anyways you needed help?" Koushiro said changing the topic.

"Uh yea. I'm going to buy Kari an iPhone 5 but – "

"You don't know which one?" Koushiro finished for him. Taichi just looked at him. "Part of the job to know these things. Not to mention it's part of my full time job to know you Tai. And it is not one of the easiest things to do."

"Can we just figure out what I'm getting Kari?" he pleaded.

"White phone and pink case. Simple." Koushiro told him handing him the items. "I can check them out right here for you."

"Wait!" Taichi said, stopping him. "Can I get it customized?"

Koushiro looked at him confused. "Of course. What do you want on it?" Koushiro asked Taichi. Taichi leaned over and whispered into Koushiro's ear. "Nice!" He quickly put on the case what Taichi had said. Then he scanned the items then got the money from Taichi. Taichi thanked him and walked out to his car.

"Next stop. My house." He told himself out loud and he was on his way.

Author Notes: So here is the first chapter. Sorry that it is so short. I didn't really mean for it to be. About Allison. I made her up. I know that she wasn't in the series, but I thought it would be cool to give Tai a girlfriend. When I said her hair goes down to her knees I imagined it like Minako (Meena) from Sailor Moon. Just with pink strips in it. Next, does anyone know if Michael has a Japanese name. Like I said I have not seen the original in Japanese. I know some of you might get mad at me for the slight mention of Miyako (Yolei) and Daisuke (Davis) as a couple. I did this for the fun of it and in no means are they a pair that will continue to be in this FanFiction. You'll figure out what I mean in future chapters. Probably the next one, but I wouldn't swear to it. I will try to update this often. Not much to do during the summer. I also hinted towards a few other couples that were not directly said, or could be assumed, such as Yamato (Matt) and Sora and Koushiro (Izzy) and Mimi. They will become more prominent later on. And a major couple that will be introduced in the next chapter. I also might write a One-Shot for Odaiba Day (August 1st). I'd like to know what couple you'd like to see me write a One-Shot for.
