p.s: Season 2 never happened.
It was late at night, sure, I admit it. Mom always said not to drive my car late at night. Especially when I just got my license a couple days ago (about 4 days?) and a brand new car (2 days ago) that Kari, my sister, my mom, and dad bought for me. It was a nice birthday gift. I loved it, I appreciated it and took it out for drives.
My dad or mom would tell me to be careful driving and trusted me. They knew I'd never drink or drive it late at night. Well, one was true at least. But I had to.
At my cousin's birthday party, I guess I partyed too much, it was 12:00 AM. He asked me to stay, but I couldn't really accept. My mom was ill at home and it'd hurt her for me to not be there at home. I even phoned them up.
"Just this one time, and careful Tai." my dad told me. I told him I would be. Hanging up on my dad I bid farewell to my cousin and his weird friends, I started up my car. Letting it warm up, I stepped on the gas pedal and was on my way.
It was a cold night in the middle of summer. Turning 17, I could hit the roads. I was excited when I got my learner's and thought of everything I could do when I got my real one, the one I have now of course. Going out with hot babes at night, driving my friends to the theatre to watch some smash hit movies with popcorn. Of course, I have yet to do so.
Driving along the night, I turned up the radio to listen to the awesome band I loved most, no, not Matt's 'so-called' band, but an actual band worth listening to. Blink182's newest hit, "The Rock Show". I could practically sing the whole thing.
"Whoa..." I stared at the road ahead, it was bumpy, the headlights though showed me it was safe enough to drive on. It was a bit foggy, and I had to go through a big, thick forest to get home, but nothing would happen, right? Of course. I'm not blind.
"Why am I getting so worried all of a sudden? nothing's gonna hap- WHOA!" This time, I had no control. Going down a hill, a steep one, was not a good idea. Panicing, I tried to control the car and brake it, but I realized I couldn't. Too steep, I brake and the car would flop over. I just had to stop it though. Pressing the brake button, I slowed a bit, but not enough. The car was shaking, horribly fast, and I couldn't do anything about it.
Grasping the wheel, I turned to avoid the huge boulders in my way, barely, it was a bad choice. I think I should've stayed at my cousins. And right then, I really wished I could've.
Right in front of me was a big, thick tree. I couldn't dodge it, not it time. Too late... I let go of the wheel and unbuckled myself in hopes to get to the back of my car in time to avoid most pressure. But I couldn't. I heard the smash as the car rammed into the tree trunk and I blacked out. The world began to grow fuzzy, my head was just dizzy...
The radio slowly grew quieter and I turned slowly to the tree and sat back, then closed my eyes...
Whimpering... the sound of whimpering. I slowly opened my eyes and instantly shut them again. I didn't see or want to see what was in front of me. I probably was a horrible, bloody mess. I didn't want to see myself. Strapped down in a seat with burns probably all over me... but wait. No one could've survived that.
I opened my eyes.
"AH!!" I tried to scream, but I couldn't. I yelped. I ran back in terror to a corner in the wall. I looked down at where I stood. Carpet. Red, fuzzy carpet. But... how? And why couldn't I speak? This was odd. I then looked down at where my hands would be. There, were no hands.
I mean, no hands, but gray and white paws. Paws? I ahd fur all over me. This was not a good sign, too many pizzas. I turned around and came face to face with myself in a mirror. I leaped back, shocked. I was no longer a boy, a normal teen boy. But I was... a puppy. A little, cute, handsome puppy I have to say. My tail was curled at the end, and my coat was practically silver with white. My ears pointy, and my nose was wet and black.
A husky. I loved huskies. But not to the point where I'd become one!
But still, this wasn't right! Outragously impossible! How could it be? How can I be this? I also knew from a fact Kari told me one night, Dog's were colour blind. Wrong. Appeared I had great eye sight. And what was a fact that humans belived, good hearing, was true also. I could hear footseps from above. Wait, footsteps from above? This was all insane.
I turned around and saw a huge husky and a bunch of other puppies coming towards me. 3 others. I looked up into the mom's eyes, that twinkle. It was promising. But I had to know what was going on. In an attempt to speak, I spoke. But in quiet little barks...
"Where am I?" The mom didn't speak, but simply bent down and grasped firmly onto my back fur and picked me up. Wow! It felt cool! Though the fact that your back was being pulled into the air was not a good feeling. She had carried me back to a nice rug with a couple pillows and dropped me onto one and barked. In from a room next door came an old German Shepard. His legs were strong, and boy, he's tall. And if you thought they were scary as a human, think again.
As he approached me, I started whimpering. But instead, he alughed and sat down. His happy tail was a good sign, wagging happily back and forth. I wagged mine and asked the German Shepard the main question I asked my 'mom' earlier.
"Where am I?" The German Shepard barked.
"Your in a dog care." I was shocked. This was too... too fast for me. First I was driving in a foggy night, now it's morning in a dog care home? Had I truly needed to brush my teeth before I went to the birthday party yesterday? I don't know. All I could do was sit, then I shook and told him. My name, and what had happened. He sat, taking it in like he was reading a book and then spoke in barks, his rough voice was very serious.
"Well Tai Kamiya, your new aren't you? I'm David. I used to be one, like you, a mere human. I find it odd now that they walk on only two legs. As you msut've realized by now, four are better than two."
"Yeah... but you were a human once? How... how did I, we, get here? What happened?" It was surprising to hear he was human once too, but the next bit was just as shocking.
"Well, I too, was young when this happened. About your age, only I was 19. Five years ago, I had died sadly in a gun shooting at school. As I died, I opened my eyes as a dog. A dog I tell you. I was scared, and didn't know any better what was happening. But then, it unfolded.
"Once you die, your soul leaves the human body for a second chance as a dog. A dog. And they say we should be neutered. But blasted. As a dog, your stuck. And when you die, we don't know what happens. I know your used to being a human, but your doggone long from being that anymore." I growled.
"But I don't WANT to be a dog! Geez, can't I turn back human?" He hesitated.
"Yes, but it's rare. We've heard stories that some dog's actually got back into their own human body. The most famous being one that has been proven, the very owner of the dog care. He was once us, but somehow got back into his old human body. We envied him and begged him to tell us how he did it. He only gave us a hint of 'Touching thy old self'. He told us if we ever found out how to get back exactly, we would not be able to come back.
"So it's like a big puzzle. I wouldn't do it, just stay a dog."
I shook my head in disbelief. I couldn't solve that. Algebra was still tough enough to understand let alone 4 letter word puzzles from a five year old dog named David. I wanted to become human again. But I had to think. So I thanked David, who just laid down as the other pups attacked him. I was deep in thought.
Touching they old self. Hmm, no, that wouldn't work. Touching Sora? With my nose or paw was too hard anyways. I always thought we were meant to be one, but it's a stupid idea. But hey.. . anything to become me again. So I stood up, wearily and barked at the other pups to move away as I sniffed at David. He sat up on his hunches and looked at me.
"So, you, a mere pup had figured it out already?" I thought again.
"No, not really, just a theory I wanna try. But I have to go and leave this place." David nodded and barked loudly. I turned to see a man with a shaved beard, and had some spikey hair, he turned and patted my head then looked at David.
"Pup wishing for freedom? What's his name?" he asked. David barked and then it hit me. Morse code! David talked to him in morse code! That was smart! Darn! Why wasn't I that good? But wait, I couldn't do morse code. I hadn't mastered it. But like people would listen to me, especially with my weak barks.
The guy laughed and thenpicked me up by my neck scruff. It was a good place to grab me, it didn't hurt that much. Then I saw him, he breathed on me and I wanted to cough, so I did. Little puppy coughs.
"Aw... so your Tai eh? I'll keep my watch out for anyone knowing a Tai Kamiya. But I promise not to say what happened. I can't, so don't blame me. It could mean a bad future for you, mostly me though. So I'll shut up. And here." He put me down on the ground where I scratched my ears. He opened the front door and I barked happily. I trotted outside. The pavement was boiling! And yet, my feet were invincible and ignoring the pavement's boiling surface.
But turning back to David and the man. He waved and smiled.
"Good luck Tai! I hope you find your answer! My name's Terry! Good luck! See you around maybe!" with that, he shut the door. I turned and looked around me. Grass, taller than me. Like a tall field of wheat you might see in farm movies or ranches up in western parts.
I saw humans. Happy humans jumping ropes, driving... everything I couldn't do now. But soon I hoped. But that was a problem. How was I to tell Sora's home from Izzy's home, let alone west to north! I tried to looked for hints, nothing. So I turned to the big fireball that heated the pavement. The sun. So... I don't know, I don't know where I am now even!
This sucked. I laid down and whined. I had to find Sora to get human if I was right. And I had to do it soon, this dog business was itching me.But of course, I could do that after. I guess I wanted to enjoy being a dog for now... and see how my friend's think of me right now. "Aw, CUTE!" I could hear Mimi shouting. "A puppy!" I could hear Cody, a friend from Izzy's computer camp, say.
So I got up, and decided to start walking. Even though I just became a puppy, I couldn't help noticing I was very light, and not fat I have to admit. But I bet dog's get fat fast. Puppies to be particular.
As I walked along the street, my tongue hanging out panting, I bumped into someone unexpectedly and yelped. As I looked up. I nearly burst into extreme puppy happiness. A friendly, familiar face! I quickly got to my feet and jumped at his leg and tried to get to his face to lick him. It was the puppy instinct. The boy bent down and held me by my neck scruff, picked me up and looked at me. His friend squatted beside him and looked at me, brushing my back.
"Joe, look at this mutt. Wonder what he's doing on the street ... without a collar." I gulped. No collar could mean the pound and sleeping death.
"Well Izzy, he DOES have some little leather here, on his neck. Could be his collar." Joe inspected it as Izzy put me down. I whimpered and Izzy patted me, keeping a firm grip to make sure I didn't run away.
"Well it says, Once I find an owner fit for me, call this number to get me a real collar! By the respective owner who let me go free! Yes, the number's on here, but what kind of owner would let a pup go loose?" Joe asked. Izzy shrugged, giving me the chance. I ran quickly away from them, down along the street. I heard Izzy yell something faint. But I couldn't hear as I continued along.
Finally, I noticed where I was. A good distance from where my car would be. Wrecked in a forest only few dared to go into for fear of evil digimon or bad people. My home was far away from here. And so was Sora's. But some of my friends homes were nearby. Time to see how they are, and what the date is.
Scampering along the street, I realized the sun was at it's most hottest peak since I arrived out of Terry's doggie care center. Wondering along, I saw kids skateboarding, now one of my favorite things to do besides soccer. I could probably pull a 1080 if I had 6 more years of training and maybe pull a 900 Christ Air like I did with Rune Glifberg on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. But I'd have to wait to do those things. I was still a dog, a young puppy, looking for some old friends. When just as I thought so, out of a corner walked Matt and June, some girl he obviously met in class. He was on the right side of the road on the sidewalk and somehow had to get across. I grinned my evil puppy grin, it was plastered all over my face.
No one would hit a puppy. But then again... just do it. So I walked to the corner, and to my luck didn't have to make a fifty-fifty chance of being hit. It was the walk sign. So through the crowded people I finally made my way to the left side of the road. On the otherside, I bent my head towards where I last saw them. They were there, only they were laughing this time. Gathering all my speed, I charged at Matt's leg. Running, running, running.
"Hey, lookie here!" Drats. He grabbed me by my neck scruff and picked me up. June was hysterical. Never did I want to see her again. Sure he met her in school, but she was my awful cousin. Along with Davis, who I think, admired me. Yep, soon he'd be scampering too on the floor as a human begging for table scraps.
"AW!!! I WANT TO KEEP IT MATT!!!!" Matt gave thought to this and then turned me around to face him. He grinned and put me down. June made a grab for me, but I fled down the street already. That was a close call and never did I hope to see my cousin June saw I'm cute again. Let alone if I hear Davis say I'm cute, I'll puke.
Jogging along now, a couple thoughts raced through my mind. I sat down on a grassy patach near a soccer field and watched some soccer players kick the ball around. I laid down and let my ears listen to the extra loud noises I heard.
I already met Izzy, Joe, cousin June, and Matt. They didn't seem to know I was missing. Something, something was very wrong with that. How long had it been?
Wanting to find out, I stood up and yawned, stretched my legs and flicked my ears a a bit as I trotted along the grungy smelling soccer bags. I used to have a clean one. A nice smelling one too... okay, not that good smelling. But better.
Looking into a couple, I thought I was going to get caught. But I didn't, but I had no success in finding information either. Though the last bag, a duffle bag, had some guys watch in it. It was digital and nice looking. Hopping into the bag, I whined a bit as it hurt my leg, my hind left. I accidently hit something hard.
Finally getting over the hurt injury, I sniffed around. Glorious scents you'd never notice as a human. Every smell was wonderful! But food obviously was the best smelling. Or in my case, maybe Sora...
While sniffing, I bumped into the watch with my nose. Oops, it's wet now. Oh well, make do. It was dark in here, so I couldn't see much. Finally spotting the watch, I looked at it. It displayed the time in it's electronic ways. But to see the date, I needed to press a button.
Slowly with my paw, ever cautiously, I pressed a button with one of my claws. The watch beeped and changed to the next screen. So it was July 15, two days after the night I went. Strange, shouldn't they notice I'm missing by now? Maybe Kari does. My family for sure. Maybe they didn't want to say anything. Sounds like them. I'll go check up on them. This was familiar, just a couple ways down the street, a long journey.
Crawling out of the duffle bag, I sniffed a bit and found a familiar scent. It was of someone... I know who it is. I always had these times where I knew what it was, but couldn't remember it. But stay focus Tai.
So while I found the scent, I kept my nose to the ground, sniffing and following it's smell. It was a nice smell. Really something. But it wasn't Sora's. But it was somebody I knew. Not looking up, I continued, careful not to trip over a rock stupidly.
I yelped as someone picked me up again. Boy, when I grow up to an adult dog- Don't even think about it Tai! You'll get out of this one, I reminded myself. Looking forward I saw that familiar face I loved. And the other face I loved so much. I wanted to scream to them, shout to them. But I couldn't. All that came out was small tiny whimpers and frantic tries to lick their faces.
My dad sighed and put me in his lap. I squealed around and tried to lick my dad's face. He seemed depressed, worried, lonely. I looked over at my mom. I quickly jumped into her lap and just laid in her lap and let them pet me. That stroking feeling.
I missed my parents, if only they knew...
"Hey! Who's that?" I heard my sister's voice, Kari. Ah, so now I remember, she has soccer lessons that I signed her up for. My sister, Kari... I didn't bother look, just closed my eyes and waited for her to start going crazy over a puppy.
"It's just a puppy Kari." I heard my dad say. It was somewhat a happy say, but it was fake. Probably depressed over something about me.
"Aw... he's so cute!" Kari said petting my back.
"Hmm... he does resemble Tai in some way... our little baby." My mom said. Those words could practically pierce any sons heart. To hear your mother say those words just made you want to cry. But I was a dog, and dogs don't cry.
"Gosh, they never found his body or car... Why did he have to come home that night? He should've stayed there, I knew it. Maybe we shouldn't have gotten him a car." I heard dad say. Oh man, now they're blaming it on my new Jaguar.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he's fine." I wanted to say. But I couldn't even comfort my parents. Well, I had to try. So I then went off mom's lap and jumped up and down Kari's leg trying to lick her face.
"Aw, I think he likes me... but I don't want to talk about my brother here... I might cry again." Ouch. Pain in the heart.
"Hey Kari." I heard. Turning around I saw Cody, that short little guy Kari sometimes brought over for supper. He was quiet and okay to for Kari I think. Besides the fact he's about 2 years younger. But I didn't jump for him. Instead, I ran away again.
This time, I had to get to Sora's pronto. I don't want to see my family end up worse than this.
Hmmm, what could be Sora's house? I recall it being a nice little brick one down the street. I always used to visit it, why would I have troubles now finding it? Shaking my head, I trotted along. Houses. How I longed to be in one,. Now I knew how stray dogs felt, no home, wanting to explore the insides of something a two legged person lives in. Wait, I'm a human. I have a human SOUL as least.
Ah ha, this should be her house. Trotting up I saw the window, the basement window. Good. Any higher and I would've had to stand on my tiptoes to see.
Sniffing near the window, I finally peered in.
"WORLD DOMINATION WILL BE MINE! MWA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Wrong house. Scampering back I looked next door. THERE was Sora's brick house. Whoops. Now I remembered, there was no basement window. How could I be so dumb? Barking from happiness, I ran over to her house. But then stopped no sooner. Her window was high. But there was a cardboard box underneath. Yes! Score for the Tai!
Jumping up, I anxiously looked into the window.
It wasn't the Sora I knew the least. She was crying deeply. In her bedroom. And Mimi, who came down to visit, obviously was with her. Sora was just breaking out and Mimi was looking through her dresser to cheer her up.
Now, man, why did this happen? How did Sora know at all? I thought my parents kept it a- Kari. Dang, I hated it. But soon, she'd be crying no longer! Puppies cheer her up! And soon, that'll get me back!
"ARO!!!!!" I yelped as I fell in. Ouch. My back ached, but saved me I guess. I was flat on my back, howling in pain. Oh... never ever stand on a cardboard box anymore..... Ow.... gosh, never ever ever.
"Hey, who's this fella?" Mimi. She is sure fast and curious when hearing noises. Looking near the ledge I saw her bending over. She was looking at me and anxiously picked me up in her arms. I whined and then was lifted into Sora's room.
Score! I would've thanked Mimi if I could.
"Look at what I found peeking in on us."
"Like an angel...." Sora said slowly. That's it! I can't stand sobbing! Struggling and whining, I was thrusted out of Mimi's arms onto the bed. Hasitly, I got up and looked around. There was Sora. A few rulers' width away. Finally seeing her, I ran towards her at full speed, Sora! I'm coming back! I hope everyone will forgive me! Here goes nothing!
I bumped into Sora... and... I was still a puppy. I sat on my hunches and whined and howled.
Well, I have to write the 2nd chapter and get it up. I was also happy to see lots of Taiora's up! I'm proud to be a Taiora writer too. Well, though I find Sora sometimes a problem, first with Tai, then with Matt, in the end, she married Joe (I think.) But Taiora will always rule digimon! Correct? I find so.
I like to read to, one of the reasons I haven't gotten anything up yet. Another is I can't seem to finish writing stories that are supposed to be nice and thick.
I'm currently finishing up No More Dragons to Slay, even if I have lost interest in it. And next, besides Next, would probably be Capturing in a New Domain.

p.s: Season 2 never happened.
It was late at night, sure, I admit it. Mom always said not to drive my car late at night. Especially when I just got my license a couple days ago (about 4 days?) and a brand new car (2 days ago) that Kari, my sister, my mom, and dad bought for me. It was a nice birthday gift.

"Where am I?" The mom didn't speak, but simply bent down and grasped firmly onto my back fur and picked me up. Wow! It felt cool! Though the fact that your back was being pulled into the air was not a good feeling. She had carried me back to a nice rug with a couple pillows and dropped me onto one and barked. In from a room next door came an old German Shepard. His legs were strong, and boy, he's tall. And if you thought they were scary as a human, think again.
As he approached me, I started whimpering. But instead, he alughed and sat down. His happy tail was a good sign, wagging happily back and forth. I wagged mine and asked the German Shepard the main question I asked my 'mom' earlier.

The guy laughed and thenpicked me up by my neck scruff. It was a good place to grab me, it didn't hurt that much. Then I saw him, he breathed on me and I wanted to cough, so I did. Little puppy coughs.
"Aw... so your Tai eh? I'll keep my watch out for anyone knowing a Tai Kamiya. But I promise not to say what happened. I can't, so don't blame me. It could mean a bad future for you, mostly me though. So I'll shut up. And here." He put me down on the ground where I scratched my ears. He opened the front door and I barked happily. I trotted outside. The pavement was boiling! And yet, my feet were invincible and ignoring the pavement's boiling surface.
But turning back to David and the man. He waved and smiled.
"Good luck Tai! I hope you find your answer! My name's Terry! Good luck! See you around maybe!" with that, he shut the door. I turned and looked around me. Grass, taller than me. Like a tall field of wheat you might see in farm movies or ranches up in western parts.
I saw humans. Happy humans jumping ropes, driving... everything I couldn't do now. But soon I hoped. But that was a problem. How was I to tell Sora's home from Izzy's home, let alone west to north! I tried to looked for hints, nothing. So I turned to the big fireball that heated the pavement. The sun. So... I don't know, I don't know where I am now even!
This sucked. I laid down and whined. I had to find Sora to get human if I was right. And I had to do it soon, this dog business was itching me.But of course, I could do that after. I guess I wanted to enjoy being a dog for now... and see how my friend's think of me right now. "Aw, CUTE!" I could hear Mimi shouting. "A puppy!" I could hear Cody, a friend from Izzy's computer camp, say.
So I got up, and decided to start walking. Even though I just became a puppy, I couldn't help noticing I was very light, and not fat I have to admit. But I bet dog's get fat fast. Puppies to be particular.
As I walked along the street, my tongue hanging out panting, I bumped into someone unexpectedly and yelped. As I looked up. I nearly burst into extreme puppy happiness. A friendly, familiar face! I quickly got to my feet and jumped at his leg and tried to get to his face to lick him. It was the puppy instinct. The boy bent down and held me by my neck scruff, picked me up and looked at me. His friend squatted beside him and looked at me, brushing my back.
"Joe, look at this mutt. Wonder what he's doing on the street ... without a collar." I gulped. No collar could mean the pound and sleeping death.
"Well Izzy, he DOES have some little leather here, on his neck. Could be his collar." Joe inspected it as Izzy put me down. I whimpered and Izzy patted me, keeping a firm grip to make sure I didn't run away.
"Well it says, Once I find an owner fit for me, call this number to get me a real collar! By the respective owner who let me go free! Yes, the number's on here, but what kind of owner would let a pup go loose?" Joe asked. Izzy shrugged, giving me the chance. I ran quickly away from them, down along the street. I heard Izzy yell something faint. But I couldn't hear as I continued along.
Finally, I noticed where I was. A good distance from where my car would be. Wrecked in a forest only few dared to go into for fear of evil digimon or bad people. My home was far away from here. And so was Sora's. But some of my friends homes were nearby. Time to see how they are, and what the date is.
Scampering along the street, I realized the sun was at it's most hottest peak since I arrived out of Terry's doggie care center. Wondering along, I saw kids skateboarding, now one of my favorite things to do besides soccer. I could probably pull a 1080 if I had 6 more years of training and maybe pull a 900 Christ Air like I did with Rune Glifberg on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. But I'd have to wait to do those things. I was still a dog, a young puppy, looking for some old friends. When just as I thought so, out of a corner walked Matt and June, some girl he obviously met in class. He was on the right side of the road on the sidewalk and somehow had to get across. I grinned my evil puppy grin, it was plastered all over my face.
No one would hit a puppy. But then again... just do it. So I walked to the corner, and to my luck didn't have to make a fifty-fifty chance of being hit. It was the walk sign. So through the crowded people I finally made my way to the left side of the road. On the otherside, I bent my head towards where I last saw them. They were there, only they were laughing this time. Gathering all my speed, I charged at Matt's leg. Running, running, running.
"Hey, lookie here!" Drats. He grabbed me by my neck scruff and picked me up. June was hysterical. Never did I want to see her again. Sure he met her in school, but she was my awful cousin. Along with Davis, who I think, admired me. Yep, soon he'd be scampering too on the floor as a human begging for table scraps.
"AW!!! I WANT TO KEEP IT MATT!!!!" Matt gave thought to this and then turned me around to face him. He grinned and put me down. June made a grab for me, but I fled down the street already. That was a close call and never did I hope to see my cousin June saw I'm cute again. Let alone if I hear Davis say I'm cute, I'll puke.
Jogging along now, a couple thoughts raced through my mind. I sat down on a grassy patach near a soccer field and watched some soccer players kick the ball around. I laid down and let my ears listen to the extra loud noises I heard.
I already met Izzy, Joe, cousin June, and Matt. They didn't seem to know I was missing. Something, something was very wrong with that. How long had it been?
Wanting to find out, I stood up and yawned, stretched my legs and flicked my ears a a bit as I trotted along the grungy smelling soccer bags. I used to have a clean one. A nice smelling one too... okay, not that good smelling. But better.
Looking into a couple, I thought I was going to get caught. But I didn't, but I had no success in finding information either. Though the last bag, a duffle bag, had some guys watch in it. It was digital and nice looking. Hopping into the bag, I whined a bit as it hurt my leg, my hind left. I accidently hit something hard.
Finally getting over the hurt injury, I sniffed around. Glorious scents you'd never notice as a human. Every smell was wonderful! But food obviously was the best smelling. Or in my case, maybe Sora...
While sniffing, I bumped into the watch with my nose. Oops, it's wet now. Oh well, make do. It was dark in here, so I couldn't see much. Finally spotting the watch, I looked at it. It displayed the time in it's electronic ways. But to see the date, I needed to press a button.
Slowly with my paw, ever cautiously, I pressed a button with one of my claws. The watch beeped and changed to the next screen. So it was July 15, two days after the night I went. Strange, shouldn't they notice I'm missing by now? Maybe Kari does. My family for sure. Maybe they didn't want to say anything. Sounds like them. I'll go check up on them. This was familiar, just a couple ways down the street, a long journey.
Crawling out of the duffle bag, I sniffed a bit and found a familiar scent. It was of someone... I know who it is. I always had these times where I knew what it was, but couldn't remember it. But stay focus Tai.
So while I found the scent, I kept my nose to the ground, sniffing and following it's smell. It was a nice smell. Really something. But it wasn't Sora's. But it was somebody I knew. Not looking up, I continued, careful not to trip over a rock stupidly.
I yelped as someone picked me up again. Boy, when I grow up to an adult dog- Don't even think about it Tai! You'll get out of this one, I reminded myself. Looking forward I saw that familiar face I loved. And the other face I loved so much. I wanted to scream to them, shout to them. But I couldn't. All that came out was small tiny whimpers and frantic tries to lick their faces.
My dad sighed and put me in his lap. I squealed around and tried to lick my dad's face. He seemed depressed, worried, lonely. I looked over at my mom. I quickly jumped into her lap and just laid in her lap and let them pet me. That stroking feeling.
I missed my parents, if only they knew...
"Hey! Who's that?" I heard my sister's voice, Kari. Ah, so now I remember, she has soccer lessons that I signed her up for. My sister, Kari... I didn't bother look, just closed my eyes and waited for her to start going crazy over a puppy.
"It's just a puppy Kari." I heard my dad say. It was somewhat a happy say, but it was fake. Probably depressed over something about me.
"Aw... he's so cute!" Kari said petting my back.
"Hmm... he does resemble Tai in some way... our little baby." My mom said. Those words could practically pierce any sons heart. To hear your mother say those words just made you want to cry. But I was a dog, and dogs don't cry.
"Gosh, they never found his body or car... Why did he have to come home that night? He should've stayed there, I knew it. Maybe we shouldn't have gotten him a car." I heard dad say. Oh man, now they're blaming it on my new Jaguar.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he's fine." I wanted to say. But I couldn't even comfort my parents. Well, I had to try. So I then went off mom's lap and jumped up and down Kari's leg trying to lick her face.
"Aw, I think he likes me... but I don't want to talk about my brother here... I might cry again." Ouch. Pain in the heart.
"Hey Kari." I heard. Turning around I saw Cody, that short little guy Kari sometimes brought over for supper. He was quiet and okay to for Kari I think. Besides the fact he's about 2 years younger. But I didn't jump for him. Instead, I ran away again.
This time, I had to get to Sora's pronto. I don't want to see my family end up worse than this.
Hmmm, what could be Sora's house? I recall it being a nice little brick one down the street. I always used to visit it, why would I have troubles now finding it? Shaking my head, I trotted along. Houses. How I longed to be in one,. Now I knew how stray dogs felt, no home, wanting to explore the insides of something a two legged person lives in. Wait, I'm a human. I have a human SOUL as least.
Ah ha, this should be her house. Trotting up I saw the window, the basement window. Good. Any higher and I would've had to stand on my tiptoes to see.
Sniffing near the window, I finally peered in.
"WORLD DOMINATION WILL BE MINE! MWA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Wrong house. Scampering back I looked next door. THERE was Sora's brick house. Whoops. Now I remembered, there was no basement window. How could I be so dumb? Barking from happiness, I ran over to her house. But then stopped no sooner. Her window was high. But there was a cardboard box underneath. Yes! Score for the Tai!
Jumping up, I anxiously looked into the window.
It wasn't the Sora I knew the least. She was crying deeply. In her bedroom. And Mimi, who came down to visit, obviously was with her. Sora was just breaking out and Mimi was looking through her dresser to cheer her up.
Now, man, why did this happen? How did Sora know at all? I thought my parents kept it a- Kari. Dang, I hated it. But soon, she'd be crying no longer! Puppies cheer her up! And soon, that'll get me back!
"ARO!!!!!" I yelped as I fell in. Ouch. My back ached, but saved me I guess. I was flat on my back, howling in pain. Oh... never ever stand on a cardboard box anymore..... Ow.... gosh, never ever ever.
"Hey, who's this fella?" Mimi. She is sure fast and curious when hearing noises. Looking near the ledge I saw her bending over. She was looking at me and anxiously picked me up in her arms. I whined and then was lifted into Sora's room.
Score! I would've thanked Mimi if I could.
"Look at what I found peeking in on us."
"Like an angel...." Sora said slowly. That's it! I can't stand sobbing! Struggling and whining, I was thrusted out of Mimi's arms onto the bed. Hasitly, I got up and looked around. There was Sora. A few rulers' width away. Finally seeing her, I ran towards her at full speed, Sora! I'm coming back! I hope everyone will forgive me! Here goes nothing!
I bumped into Sora... and... I was still a puppy. I sat on my hunches and whined and howled.
Well, I have to write the 2nd chapter and get it up. I was also happy to see lots of Taiora's up! I'm proud to be a Taiora writer too. Well, though I find Sora sometimes a problem, first with Tai, then with Matt, in the end, she married Joe (I think.) But Taiora will always rule digimon! Correct? I find so.
I like to read to, one of the reasons I haven't gotten anything up yet. Another is I can't seem to finish writing stories that are supposed to be nice and thick.
I'm currently finishing up No More Dragons to Slay, even if I have lost interest in it. And next, besides Next, would probably be Capturing in a New Domain.
