CHAPTER 1
Sora POV
It has been a pretty much a year since the defeat of Malomyotismon, Other than some unknown energy signal that are appearing random around the digital world a few months ago, other than that things have been pretty peaceful in the digital world. Once Izzy stated tracking the location we been sent out in pairs to investigate the signal pretty much every day. Izzy also in charge of making the schedule, which is annoying for two reason first off it the first day back to school and I got schedule for tonight. Second I didn't get to see Matt very often over the break because of digital world shift and his band, actually now I'm thinking about it I only saw him once on our one year anniversary when we started dating. That when he gave me this red Jacket for charismas that I really wanted but it was way too expensive. To be honest I wasn't really expecting this gift from him, since we really been distance from one another and we barely were talking because he was so busy. I didn't even think for a second he even knew I want it, I'm really glad he did though I love it so much and it proves that he still cares for me. Now I just want someone to comment on it so I gush over it.
"HEY SORA, EARTH TO SORA!"
"Huh" I turned to look at Tai and Kari who I was walking to school this morning with like I usually do every day. Sora sighed "Sorry Tai was just thinking about some stuff, what were you trying to say?"
"Hey look Kari I actually got a respond out if Sora this time" a chuckling Tai said. "Well if you were paying attention was trying to say that new jacket your wearing looks very nice on you, did you get it for a present this Christmas."
Sora bushed that so like Tai to notice something like that. "Thanks Tai, Matt got it for me as charismas present this year on our anniversary. I really like the design of it and it really warm as well. Though I didn't think I ever own it since it was way out of my price range, I'm super glad Matt got it for me but I wish he didn't spend that much money on this. It one of my favorite things I got over the break, the other being that customs tenses racket you got me I can't wait for next week to try it out at practiced!" Tai really did give a very nice racket first off it had my crest of Love wove into it but also had red handle the same color as my crest and had my crest at the bottom of the handle as well. I try to get Tai to tell me where he got it done, but he keep saying I can't reveal all my secret now can I.
"Hey Tai isn't…." Kari started to say but was then rudely cut off by Tai.
"Hey Sis I see that your wearing that scarf that TK got for you this, I'm still think it up for debate where or not he made it himself or got someone help." Said Tai very loudly. I turn to look very behind me to look at scarf that Tai just point out It was a very light pink scarf that had the crest of light sworn into the very middle of scarf, It was a very nice looking scarf and could easy be see that a lot of love was put into making it. As Tai continue saying "but I don't see that you brought the new camera that Davis brought with you today, I bet he be very disappointed by that, IT almost like your declaring your love to TK maybe I should tell them. No wait a minute I shouldn't it wouldn't be my place to tell them that, but you should see the Camera he got her Sor it has so many option than the one she currently wearing. I'm really surprise that you didn't bring it along with you today and instead brought your old one."
Kari was blushing very hard the entire time Tai was talking, she sighed "I get your point TAI, but it isn't like that at all this camera I'm wearing is a lot lighter and smaller than one Davis got me, it so easier to capture the random moment in life with this one. Davis will be great form when I just want to head out for the day to take photo or events that I know I want memory last." When I glanced over to Tai he seem very happy, he shouldn't take enjoyment over teasing his sister love life when he himself doesn't even have one. I was just about to start to defend Kari from her bother teasing when she start to speak again. "Hey guys looks like were at the time where we have to depart ways I promise Yolei I'll walk to school with her, I'll see you later tonight Tai, Bye Sora." She starts waving to as she runs off.
I look over to Tai and said "You Know you shouldn't take enjoyment teasing someone about their love life Tai, especially when it your sister. You know especially when you haven't even told me your Best friend who you like." I thought I saw Tai look sad for a just a single moment before he return his usually happy self.
"Sor, you know I can't tell you otherwise I would be giving the gang ammo to tease me with." Tai sigh. Then turn his head to ground.
"SO you can't trust me to keep your secret! Maybe I don't know could help you get with this girl if you told me who she was." I shout at him. God he always like that when I try and ask him about this girl he like he always avoid the question. I thought best friend tell each other everything, I know I tell him everything about my relationship with Matt the good and the bad when he ask. Okay not everything but most things at the very least, plus he always happy to listen to me. Why isn't he the same with way with me?
"Sor, I'm sorry I can't tell you. You know it complexed, but how about this I promised that you be the first person I'll tell, when I'm ready to talk about it okay?" Tai said to me while give the biggest puppy dogs eyes I've ever seen.
I sigh "okay Tai but I'm going to hold you to that promise." Then we stated talking about the rest of the new school as we finished our walk to school that morning.
Tai POV
"Mom, I'm home" I shout into the apartment. I took off me shoes while I wait for the reply, I hear nothing. She mustn't be home yet then, though god I didn't feel like lying to her about how good my day was, which now days is hardly ever. I start to take off me jacket as went to my room to lay down on my bed. I look at my clock it said 3:03
It all start morning went I went to comment on Sora new jacket because I knew that she want to talk about it about but didn't want to bring the topic up herself. Then it came close to Sora finding out about my feeling for her, I really did wish I tell told her way sooner before she started to date matt… No I didn't because if I did then we might not even be best friends any more I don't want to lose her… maybe I should of try it might of be better than my current situation, I could even be her boyfriend… or it could be a lot worse…
"AHHHHHHH" I shout to really no one. This morning was even the worst of it, Matt and Sora were acting extra lovely dovely today at lunch. I mean I was happy to see that Sora was smile, I knew that she was feeling down since she hasn't be on a date with matt over the break at all. I even told matt this morning during second period. So I guess it my fault… My fault that I want to my two of my best friend to be happy with each other. I'm an awful person to think that it wrong to help friends, but it hurt so much to see her being in love with someone else, I just got to remember it was her choice who she loves, I Can't force her to love me… As long as she happy it then I guess it okay? Is it?
BEEZ, BEEZ, BEEZ
Where did my place my cell phone again? Oh right in my jacket pocket. That means I would have to get up. I really don't feel like doing anything right now though or for the night for that matter, but I should check it anyways in case it something to Digital World. Who knows maybe Izzy found out what those energy reading mean. Okay I should go read it then.

SENT AT 4:21
"FUCK, I ONLY HAVE 9 MINUTES" shit and I still need to pick up and find Agumon as well before I meet Joe. This can't get any worse as I'm now have to rush to get ready, and then that is when someone decide they should ring my cell. It probably Matt, let just check the caller ID. It was Matt. I need to make this quick. "Sorry, Matt I can't help you right now with whatever wrong! I'm busy getting ready for Sora digi shift that starts in 5 MINUTES and I still haven't found my socks. Which you should know by now."
"Oh, well that okay then I should be able to handle this myself. Also thanks for doing this" Matt adding very softly at the end.
"No problem, Now I need to go, BYE MATT" I shout as hang up the phone. God he shouldn't need my help if it what I think it was anymore… there my missing socks!
Joe POV
"OH GOD IT 4:32 and she isn't here yet, I hope she wasn't attack by some digimon on her way here." I said as I was panicking to both Gomamon and Biyomon. Gomamon was still relax I don't see why he can be at time like, and Biyomon was starting to look worry as well. If she wasn't here I wouldn't be panicking as much because at least they would be late together. Than that would at least rule out being attack by herself.
Gomamon decide to speak up "Come on Joe, stop be a worry wort, she like you said only two minutes late it not the end of the world."
I respond with "Of course it is because it Sora, she never been late to her shift, maybe if it was Tai or Davis then we give like 10 to 15 mins before we start worry they forgot their shift. IF, a big IF I remindyou she always make sure she text me to let me know that she be late. I receive no text from Sora. I think I have the right to worry." I see sweat drop start to form on Gomamon head as soon as I was done talking.
"GUY!" I hear someone shout in the distance, but that sound more like a guy's voice than Sora. Wait if I think about it sound a lot like… and that when Tai decide to appear from out the brush with Agumon. "Hey Guys, I'm sorry I'm late but Sora just let me know she want me to cover at like 4:20." He said as he was bend over catching his breath. "Plus I had to go find Agumon as well."
Well at least Sora wasn't attack by a digimon on her way here but the still leaves the question unanswered. "So how come you have did this for Sora then?"
"WHAT, Joe you know I would cover for anytime right, if you ever need more time to study for a test or something in a drop of hat as well. Sora not just a special case or anything like that." Quickly explained Tai, while he was waving his hand back and forth to make it seem like it was a big deal or anything.
"Well Tai I'm very grateful for the offer, but seeing as I already pull the least amount of shift each month, already do to my studying. I wouldn't feel right taking you up on that offer, But that wasn't what I was asking I mean why couldn't Sora making to her shift tonight did she or mother had to be rush to hospital for something?" I really hope that not the case
"OH, that what you meant, then the answer is easy then Matt ask her out on date and he forgot that she had a shift tonight. She Text me asking if I could cover for her, I said yes because I know she and matt hadn't really be able to go on a date recently over the break. Was trying to be a good friend that all." Tai said that while he look nervously sticking the back of his head. He then turn to Biyomon and said "She said that she sorry that she wasn't able come tonight, But I'm sure she'll make it up to somehow."
Biyomon was the first to respond to Tai "That ok Tai, At least I know she has people who that love her as much as I do in her life."
"Yes we all know how much MATT Loves her Biyomon." Biyomon just giggle at what Tai just said. "But serious Joe I can take some of your shift if you need the time, I really don't mind."
"HEY DON'T TRY AND STEAL MY PARNTER AWAY, I work very hard with him. He took a whole two minutes before he went full panic mode when we thought Sora was late." Gomamon shout at Tai. There goes Gomamon and his attempt at a joke.
"Gomamon, that isn't very funny, Plus I always have you at my house over the weekend anyways for sushi." I sigh as Gomamon had his Fin behind his head trying to look not embarrassed at my comment. "But Tai, I'll try not to take up that offer if I don't have to, but it is nice to know it there if I need it."
"That good to know Joe! So what are we doing today here, Sora didn't say in her text what we had to do." cheerfully said Tai as he marched in the wrong direction.
"Well Tai if we head in the right DIRECTION, were meant to go by the local town and ask them the standard question and see if we can find anything." Tai quickly did about-face and ran to front of the group with me and Gomamon as we head into the right direction.
Biyomon POV
"Hey, Agumon I was wondering if you ever thought that maybe Tai got the wrong Crest sometimes?" I said to Agumon hoping he was thinking the same thing as I was when Tai was explaining his reason for being here tonight.
"What of course not, Tai the bravest person I ever meet!" Agumon said loudly but it was a good think that Joe, Tai and Gomamon were too busy with their conversion to listen to Agumon outburst.
I giggle maybe should spell it out for him "No Agumon not so load there, that wasn't what I meant, of course Tai a brave person, but being around Sora for so long allow me to pick on something. Like the fact that out of the Digidestined Tai could probably wield the crest of love as well sometimes like today with Sora that proves that he loves her greatly do you sometime get that feeling sometime, is what I'm asking Agumon?"
I look over at Agumon and he seem to be in deep thought like if he trying to recall everything at once. After walking for a few more minutes that was when he replay back to my question. "Ya I can see that now… When the first time that I went to my ultimate form back at Datamon's pyramid I felt this overwhelming feeling rush though my body, but then it change into what I know was his courage. I always got that feeling when Tai was trying to protect either Kari or Sora but for some reason it always felt stronger when Sora was involved. Sometime I had both and felt I could destroy Spiral Mt. in one go. Plus it help that was the only feeling I was receiving from Tai last year at Christmas outside of matt tent. HEY WE NEVER GOT THOSE COOKIES EITHER, you got to tell Sora to make me and Tai sometime soon, which should make him feel better." Agumon stop and look at me with a deep concerning look on his face, one of the other might have confused this look for very hungry looking Agumon but not me.
"Well I'm glad to know that I'm now not the only one who see it, but what do mean Tai been feeling down lately?" I hope this a big problem Sora won't what to know that, she would be worry. Agumon look like he was going to ask another question, but before he could "And yes Agumon I will mention the Cookies for you."
"Oh Goodie Tai say they will be most delicious thing he ever taste because he said Sora will make them, and I really thing that will help Tai. I know food always help me when I'm feeling sad!" he said joyful then he face turn serous for the rest of conversion "Well the thing is Tai been feeling really sad since Matt's Christmas concert that got attacked, Well maybe sad isn't the right word to described it… let see it worse than being sad but feel similar all the same, just worse like a lot worse. Whenever I ask Tai about it he said it nothing and just act's really happy like his now with Joe and Gomamon." Agumon points to Tai and rest. "Like right now he seems really happy with Joe and Gomamon but I'm getting that worse sad feeling right now." He looks down at feet. "Whenever I say something about it the feeling get a lot worse than before I've ask, I don't think he want people to know about this, I know I wouldn't either if I was the one feeling it directly." He then turns me with hopeful eye and continue "I don't know how much it will help but since Tai been feeling this way since Sora didn't give him those cookies that maybe it will help him somehow…"
I turn to look to Agumon "Don't worry Agumon I'll make sure that Tai get those cookies soon, and I promise not to tell anyone about Tai worse than sad feeling even Sora!" I don't want to make this problem any worse for Tai whatever it is. He shows so much love for Sora it wouldn't be fair!
Agumon said "Thanks Biyomon I have a feeling those Cookies will be the key for changing Tai mood. Also we should caught up the other I bet we near the village soon! We wouldn't want to worry the other to look at how far behind we are!" I giggle at Agumon as he grabs my wing and start dragging me along. I really like how caring Agumon is, I don't think many people see past that bottomless pit of his that some people call a stomach. That makes Agumon Sweetest digimon I know.
