A/N: You know what, I'm too impatient . I will start posting up chapters of my new story! :D Steps to Happiness. Since my lovely friend, Stefanielea92 gave me her opinion. I decided to start on it. Along with my other stories, I'm always lagging on. )': Full summary is on my profile. Only the first Digidestined, some OC's maybe, actually there's only one, which is someone, but she's a dead person... and some of the characters in season two. Kari/TK: 14, everyone: 16 and Joe: 18. Let's start! This is the Prologue so this was when they were 11/12.
Disclaimer: I sadly do NOT own Digimon, if I did Sora and Tai would have been together with twins. Then I'd be the one with Matt, LOLWUT. :3
Prologue; Goodbye Tai.
'It's pretty hard to say goodbye.' Today was the beginning of summer vacation for everyone. The warm summer breeze, hot weather, great day for hang outs. Also it also the first day of where Taichi Kamiya had to say goodbye to his childhood and best friend, Sora Takenouchi. She was moving to the Kanto region with her mother since she was offered a job at a much known flower shop over there. Of course the orange haired preteen was pretty depressed about how she had to move, but she had no other choice. As she helped her mother with the bags and boxes she wanted to tell Tai how she felt about him for a long time now.
She wasn't in love, but she had a crush on him. She loved everything about him. His lopped sided grins, his sarcasm, how caring he is, mostly everything. When they were almost done she wanted to make a quick call to Tai before she left. She grabbed her mother's cell phone and dialed his number in a heart beat. As his house phone was ringing, someone answered.
"H-hello?"
"Sora?" A sweet voice replied back to her.
"Oh, Kari. Is your brother home?"
"No, sorry Sora. He's at Izzy's. I'll let him know you call though."
Sora sighed in disappointment, "Thanks Kari. You know, I'll miss you and your parents."
The other girl giggled, "I know you won't miss my mom's cooking though, I'll miss you too. Don't forget about me. Or anyone else."
"I won't, I promise. I have to go now, bye." She quickly hung up the phone and gave it to her mother.
She ran towards the desk which had left over paper and a pen, and thought about what she wanted to write to her. Finally she jotted down what she wanted to tell Tai in person.
"Dear Taichi Kamiya,
You Dumbo, you're not home. ): Anyways, I've been wanting to tell you something ever since the first day I felt it. I like you. Not as friends, but something more. You're probably going to feel awkward or something, but I can't help it. I've been dying to tell you for a long time already. You're really amazing, and it's a shame that you probably don't feel the same or I have to move right when I'm telling you all this. While I'll be gone, make sure to e-mail me, or mail me letters. I'll try to visit if I can. Don't ever forget me Tai, I know I won't forget about you. If you have a girlfriend, she'll be one lucky lady. You're the best childhood friend ever! Never change, okay?
Love, Sora Takenouchi."
After she wrote the letter she noticed a tear drop that fell from her face and onto the letter. She folded up the letter into a square and ran outside, before she did she informed her mother about leaving the house before going to her new place.
"We're leaving soon Sora, you better hurry up honey!" She exclaimed grabbing some of the stuff in the house.
"Yeah Mom, it'll be quick!" She started running to the apartment where Tai lives. Her emotions went wild when she ran to his place. She felt weak, disappointed, and nervous. As she made it to his apartment, she quickly attempted to catch her breath. She rang the doorbell, Mrs. Kamiya answered it as Sora plastered a smile on her face.
"Sora? I thought you left already?" She asked.
"I'm about to soon, but then I wanted to give this to Tai." The orange haired girl handed her the letter as she added, "I know he's not here, but when he is, can you give it to him?"
She nodded and quickly frowned and went closer to her, giving her a huge hug, "Oh, I'll just miss you! You such a big part of this family!"
"I-I'll miss y-you too. I-I can't bre-" Before she could finish the older lady let go of her and chuckled, "Sorry, I just got too caught up."
Sora smiled, "It's fine, I have to go now. I'll see you in a few months. Thanks for everything Mrs. Kamiya." She began running towards the parking lot where her mother was waiting as her and Kari, who came out before she left, was waving goodbye.
While Tai was over at Izzy's house starting the summer already. The two preteen boys were going at it on a simple gun game as Tai threw Izzy's controller across the room causing the other boy to lose. He grinned and jumped up pumping his fist in the air.
"In your face, Izzy! I win!" He shouted.
"That was just inappropriate, you threw my controller across the room. That simply doesn't count at all." The red head protested as the other boy stuck his tongue out. Izzy's house phone was ringing as he stood up and walked over the phone.
"Hello? Hi Mrs. Kamiya. Tai phone!" Tai groaned and grabbed the phone from his hand.
"Mom. What's up?"
"Come home, now. I have a letter from Sora, I think you should read it before she goes off."
He was quiet for a few seconds and responded, "I'll be there soon, bye."
He hung up and grabbed his jacket, put on his shoes and went out, "Sorry Izzy, got to go!" He started running off and quickly took the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator. After arriving home he quickly noticed the letter his Mom was telling him about and opened it. He read it and placed it back on the spot running back out hoping Sora was still at the parking lot.
He was happy yet gloomy. Happy to know that she liked him, since he felt the same way about her. Yet to know that she's leaving right after she confessed, he knew that he had to do the same thing. While he was on the elevator he saw her from a far going in the car with her mother. He panicked, he didn't want her to leave without him saying anything at all. The things he loved about her was how funny it was when he teases her. How they can both play soccer together and she'd could keep up with him. Just as the same goes, he loved everything about her.
After the elevator reached his destination the car was starting slowly as he ran towards it. The car's speed was quickly speeding up as he ran faster and faster. He didn't care about how much or how fast he had to run, he was going to do anything just to tell her about how he feels.
"Sora! Sora!" He shouted, no response. He grabbed a small pebble from the floor as he was running and he threw it. She looked out the window to see who did that and she noticed who was running.
"Tai! I'm sorry! I can't stop, we're running a little late now!" She yelled.
He kept running anyways nothing was going to stop him. That very moment he finally confessed, "I-It's okay! Sora, I like you too!"
Tears started rolling down her face as she frowned, "I'm sorry, Tai. I wish I never left! Best friends forever!"
"Don't be! I-I know t-this won't be the l-last time we'll see each o-other."
She waved goodbye to him, "Stop running Tai, I'll see you later."
He finally stopped and waved at her, "See you later too, Sora." He realized that moment that her was moving farther and farther away from him as he walked back to his place looking down at his feet and tears started running down his cheeks and onto the end of his chin. With the wind lightly blowing upon him with the leaves gushing along with the wind. 'I'm never saying goodbye. I'll wait, even if it takes me forever.'
