Chapter 1

A/N: Okay so this is the first fanfic and it revolves around Tai and Matt who are in a RELATIONSHIP if you don't like that kind of stuff I suggest you don't read on… Yah I know season 1 and 2 are WAY over but I don't like any of the newer characters except Kouji but I don't know anything about him or the others for that matter. Moving on…none of the characters are mine except the two muscular guys the rest belong to Toei ummmmm the places are kinda of made up because I've never been to Japan, if there's any similarities it is entirely coincidence. Anyways on with the story.

"I'm Bored." Mimi whined as she flopped down next to Tai on the ground.

"We're not leaving without him." He replied.

Tai entwined his fingers behind his head and leaned against the huge oak tree behind him. He squinted in the harsh sunlight and decided to just close his eyes instead.

They were all there. Joe, Izzy, Davis, Cody and Ken sat around an old wooden picnic table in silence, TK and Kari had wandered off a couple minutes ago, and Sora, Yolei, Mimi and Tai sat on the ground. Only one person was missing. As if on cue, Matt walked into view. He crossed the large field and made his way over to the others. He wore faded jeans that clung in all the right places, and a black t-shirt. He looked drop dead gorgeous. And he's all mine, Tai thought to himself smugly.

Tai was aware of the envious gazes his fellow digi-destined gave him as he rose from his spot to meet Matt. He smiled brightly at his boyfriend who, in return, pulled him into a tight hug and gave him a quick kiss.

"Ugh, if you're going to be like that the whole time, shoot me now!" TK said from behind them.

"You're one to talk!" Matt laughed, "You and Kari are all over each other! Now grab your stuff we're going."

"It's about time!" Sora said, "You were a half hour late! I bet it was because your hair wasn't doing what you wanted it to."

"Lucky guess." Matt muttered.

She shook her head and grabbed her bags from beside the picnic table. The others followed suit and walked over to the two vans that were parked at the side of the school.

"Okay, Tai, TK, Cody, Yolei and Kari you're coming with me," Matt began, "and Izzy, Ken, Sora, Mimi and Davis you're with Joe."

They all packed their stuff into the vans and climbed in.

"I still can't believe that our parents actually agreed to this." Kari said a few minutes after they had left the school.

They had been planning this trip for months. It was only going to be a week long but their parents had been reluctant to let them go without proper supervision. It had originally been planned for just Matt, Tai, Sora, and Mimi. It was the summer after graduation, and even though they planned to pursue either college or university, they wanted to do something fun before they were too busy with school. Of course, TK and Kari had found out as did the rest of the digi-destined, so it was made a trip for all of them. Where they were going they didn't know. It wouldn't be half the fun if they did. So after convincing their parents that Matt, Tai and the other older digi-destined would be responsible and take care of the younger ones they gave in. Now, here they are with 2 vans, 12 people, loads of cash, and nowhere to go. Yep, this was going to be a fun trip.

"This is nice." Matt said.

"Yah, no parents…no school…you…what more could a guy ask for?" Tai smiled.

"I can't believe you two have started all ready!" TK whined, "Why couldn't I be with Joe?"

"Because I live to torture you of course." Matt said.

Matt reached out to turn on the radio to his favourite station that played old rock music. He tapped his hand to the beat on the steering wheel.

Tai relaxed back into his seat. The music was a soft, slow melody that seemed to calm him as he stared out the window at the passing city. He looked over at Matt and once again thanked God for him. He didn't know where he'd be without Matt. They weren't like other couples. Never once in their two year relationship had they fought. Sure, they sometimes argued over stupid things like where they would go for lunch, or what CD they would listen to on the way there, but they never yelled at each other, or hurt each other. They had an incredible respect for each other, a bond between them that could not be broken. As Tai sat next to his boyfriend he realised again just how lucky he was.

"Aw Tai's so cute when he's sleeping." Kari cooed.

"Number one, I am not asleep, and number two, I am not cute when I sleep, I am always cute." Tai mumbled, opening his eyes, and turning his head to look back at his sister.

"Of course you are." Matt said.

TK groaned, and Matt smirked.

"Hey do you think we can stop at the next fast food place? I'm hungry." Tai groaned.

"Tai, you're always hungry." Cody piped up from the back of the van.

"I wouldn't have him any other way." Matt smiled and reached out for Tai's hand, making sure to keep one of his own on the steering wheel and both eyes on the road.

"I swear next time we stop I'm switching vehicles." TK said agitatedly.

The truth was that he wasn't really all that comfortable around Matt and Tai when they were together. He loved his brother, that's why he tried not to let it get to him but sometimes it was just…awkward. There's no other way to describe it but awkward, and this was one of those times.

After that the van was pretty silent except for the upbeat tune that was now playing on the radio, and Yolei's snoring. Tai had the urge to shove a pillow in her face, but to his dismay his was packed away in the back. Cody was reading some book about werewolves or something, TK, who had been forced to stay, and Kari were engaged in what seemed like an intense game of Tic Tac Toe and Tai was shoving his face with some fast food.

"I don't know how you can eat that stuff." Matt looked at him and wrinkled his nose.

"Well actually, it's quite easy, here let me show you." Tai said picking up his hamburger. "First you pick up the food, then you take a bite, chew, and ooooo now it's time for the hard part, you swallow."

"Tai?"

"Yah?"

"You're a loser."

"I know."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*



"Shotgun!" Mimi called running towards Joe's van.

Why me? Joe thought as he watched Mimi plop herself in the seat next to him. No doubt she would take over the stereo, search through the glove box for something incriminating against him, and fool with the heat and air conditioning until it was to her liking. Sure enough she pulled a shiny disc out of her purse and slid it into the CD player. Within seconds the voices of Britney Spears, and, of course, Davis, were flowing throughout the van.

"I'm not a girl, not yet a woman, because I'm a man, you wouldn't understand, this is how I want to be." Davis bellowed.

"Davis, sweetie," Mimi began, "shut up."

He gave her an icy glare and continued to sing; only this time it was louder. Moments later Ken joined in and soon enough the rest of them, excluding Sora and Mimi, were singing Davis' interpretation of the somehow popular song.

"Hey Joe I think Matt's stopping for something to eat." Izzy said as the van in front of them pulled into the parking lot of a cheap fast food restaurant.

Joe rolled down his window and poked his head out of the window, "Are we stopping?"

"Tai's just getting something to eat, anyone else want anything?" The fair-haired boy asked.

"Nope I think we're good." Joe answered after he received a few mumbled nos.

They all waited as Tai ran into the small restaurant and then emerged with a giant paper bag, and then they set off again.

A few minutes later, Mimi had turned on the heat then rolled her window down complaining that it was too hot. When Joe reached out to turn off the heat she slapped his hand away claiming that it was too cold without it. She opened her purse and began rummaging through it for something that seemed to be of great importance. Her face contorted in what Joe guessed was a smile as she pulled out a container with some pink, sparkly, goo and applied it to her lips. Mimi pushed the button to open the glove compartment, as Joe had suspected, and began to look through the papers and such. To her disappointment that's all they were. Schoolwork, the papers to the car, a few napkins, nothing of any importance.

"Joe," Davis whined from the back seat, "I have to go to the bathroom!"

"Come on Davis can't you hold it we're going to stop soon anyway."

"Whatever you say, but I'm going to warn you now, I'm groundhogging."

The vehicle erupted in disgusted groans and Mimi began dialling Matt's cell phone number.

"Matt?" She asked.

"No it's Tai."

"Oh ok tell Matt to turn right and head to that cute little town… what's it called?"

"Wiskoki?"

"Sure, whatever." And she hung up.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*



Moments later the two vans were parked in front of, as Mimi described it, a cute little boutique, on the corner of a cute little street, in the middle of a cute little town. Davis hopped out and bolted through the front doors only to be thrown back out like a slingshot. He landed on his butt as two beefy looking guys came out of the store. They leered down at him, obviously not too happy that Davis for some reason.

"Davis what did you do this time?" Matt sighed.

Davis picked himself up from the ground, only to be shoved back down again.

"This little prat, knocked down two shelves of merchandise." said the tallest man.

"I'm sure it was an accident, there's no reason to get all sensitive." Matt replied.

They shorter of the two stepped towards Matt. He wasn't any taller than Matt but he made up for it with his muscle. His arms were the size of Matt's midsection, and his head was like a pebble on top of a boulder. The burly man ran his fingers through his short brown hair.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I asked for your opinion."

"Well aren't you lucky, you got it anyways." Matt shot back.

He knew he should have shut up awhile ago but he always spoke before he thought.

"Can't we all just get along?" Cody asked timidly. Leave it to him to be the reasonable one. He clutched his kendo stick close to his side, however, just in case.

"Yah seriously, are you really going to beat up on a bunch of guys" Matt began only to be rudely interrupted by Mimi.

"And girls." She supplied.

"Right." He continued, "Are you really going to beat up on a bunch of guys and girls that are half your size? You know what that makes you? That makes you a coward." There he goes again speaking before he thinks.

The unexpected, sudden impact of the shorter man's fist sent Matt sprawling backwards into Tai. The coppery taste of blood was present in his mouth and he wiped it with the back of his hand to confirm that it was bleeding.

The rest of them didn't waste any time. As if it was planned, Davis and Ken jumped the two guys from behind which made them stumble forward. The others imitated this display and soon all that was left was a pile of flailing limbs.

Davis stood up and yelled at them to run and they all scurried off in various directions.

The heavy bodies of the two men prevented them from catching up, and they watched, enraged as their opponents made a mad dash.
