Prologue:
It was summer. Finally. Sora
Takenouchi ran out of her apartment, strapped on her skates and pads, and
rushed off. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the leisure of her activity: the
wind blowing through her hair, time passing by without a notice, the sheer
adrenaline.
A strong pair of hands grabbed
onto her waist, causing her roller blades to screech on the concrete. A chuckle
was heard as Sora was pulled out of her paradise.
"TAI!" Sora cried playfully as
Tai's smirk grew.
"Yes?" he responded, pulling
Sora into a light kiss. They pulled apart as they both smiled and blushed.
Sora hugged herself: she must be
the luckiest girl in the world. It was summer, she was finally a teenager, and
she had the greatest summer boyfriend. A cold shiver ran up her spine as the
word continued to sear itself into her brain. SUMMER. That would mean the
relationship would end as soon as school started. Sora shrugged off the
feeling; she would just have to make the best of the little time she was with
Tai.
"Would you like to get some ice
cream?" Tai asked, already steering Sora in the direction of the little parlor.
Sora nodded her head in
agreement. When they reached the counter, Tai ordered chocolate and Sora got
Strawberry Sherbert. They quickly paid the money and found a table to sit at.
As they began to lick their ice
cream, some of Sora's ice cream fell off and landed on her chest. She looked at
the stain on her white tennis shirt and cursed.
"Damnit…" she swore, already
starting to take some napkins, dabbing the stain carefully.
"Here…let me get that," Tai suggested,
taking the rest of the napkins and cleaning the shirt. They blushed as he
continued stroking it in an orderly fashioned. A breath escaped Sora's mouth.
Soon afterwards, they threw away
the napkins, and continued walking down the park sidewalk. Sora roller bladed
as Tai kept up his pace with walking.
Once in a while they would look
into each other eyes and smile, leaning in for a deep kiss. Sora would always
hug herself afterwards and roller blade a little faster than Tai could walk,
but she always went back to her regular speed.
She turned her head a bit, and
gazed into Tai's big chocolate brown eyes. She smiled and leaned in for another
French kiss. While they kissed, Sora knew she was in love. It was her first
time, and she knew it was going to be her last. She smiled while they ended
kissing, and instead of hugging herself and roller blading off, she went into
his arms and smiled…once again.
Tai welcomingly opened his arms,
both of them rocking in a rhythm of slowness. They parted reluctantly, Sora
hugging herself and speeding off, Tai running off to catch her.

Chapter
1
Two days. Those words kept
running through her mind. Two days until she would start school, two days until
her relationship would end with Tai. She wasn't exactly sure who would break up
with whom, but she was sure it was going to end. Summer relationships didn't
last the whole year.
Sora paced around her room,
thinking of a way that she might prolong her relationship with Tai. Her mind
remained blank.
The phone had ringed. "Damn that
stupid thing!" she cursed to no one in particular, running to grab it.
She made herself calm down
before she picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Hello, is Sora there?"
"Hey Tai."
"Hi Sora…look. I have some bad
news."
A cold shiver ran up her spine.
She knew what was coming. She pushed the phone closer to her ear as her skin
became clammy and her breathing drawn irregularly.
"Y-Y-Yes?"
A huge breath on the other end
of the line was heard. "I'm moving."
Sora's jaw dropped. This was not
at all what she was expecting. "What?" She must not of heard right.
"I'm MOVING," Tai repeated.
"But…you can't be! No!"
"Yes, it's true. My dad got
transferred to America, to New York exact. At least I'll have Mimi to talk to."
"Tai…please don't go. I…" Sora
paused. Was she ready for this? "I love you."
Silence on the other end. Sora
could hear heavy breathing. "Sora…I love you too."
Sora's sadness lengthened. Hot
burning tears welled up in her eyes and a lump formed in her throat. It was if she
swallowed a watermelon whole.
"Tai…" she managed to choke out
as her tears fell and stained the phone. "TAI!" she cried once again, hanging
up the phone, running out of the apartment to Tai's.
It had taken a good ten minutes,
but the worn out Sora had finally reached Tai's apartment. Tai had opened the
door, and Sora fell into his arms. She continued to sob as Tai stroked her hair
in a sympathetic way, his own tears falling.

Three weeks. Sora leaned against
the wall, more tears forming in the back of her eyes. She didn't think she
could cry anymore, but the tears kept coming.
She pounded her fist on the
wall. "THREE WEEKS SINCE YOU LEFT ME TAICHI YAGAMI!" she screamed to herself,
her tears coming faster and harder.
Sora continued pounding her fist
on the wall, with each pound slumping to the ground. When she finally had
reached the cold tile floor, her tears had made a puddle around her, her eyes
were red and puffy, and her nose had clogged up.
The doorbell had ringed. She had
cried so much she couldn't even curse.
Sora walked over to the door of
her apartment and reluctantly opened it. Yolei was standing there looking
worried.
"Sora…" she muttered, looking at
Sora's current state. Sora sniffed. "Are you ok?"
Sora shook her head no.
"Can I come in?" Yolei asked.
Sora shook her head yes. Yolei cautiously walked inside, Sora trying to stifle
her tears: failing.
"Oh Sora…" Yolei responded,
bringing her friend into a hug.
"Yolei, why did he have to leave
me?" she asked, not expecting an answer. Yolei made "shh…" noises. Everyone had
taken Tai's and Kari's moving hard, but Davis, T.K., and Sora had taken it the
hardest.
Yolei slowly steered Sora in the
direction of the couch, resting her down and brushing a strand of stray hair behind
Sora's ear.
"Thanks Yolei." Sora thanked,
taking a tissue and blowing her nose. "Why are you here?"
Yolei felt offended by the
question, but answered it anyways. "Sora, I think you need help."
Sora thought it over for a
second. She stared blankly at her friend, a stone cold expression of
seriousness plastered on Yolei's face.
"It's been three weeks." With
that, Sora erupted in tears again. "Sora…I'm sorry. I just think you need help.
I'm just a concerned friend."
Sora stopped for just a second to
respond. "You're…you're right Yolei." Sora was surprised by herself. "Any
suggestions?"
"Joe."
"Joe? Hah…that's a funny one,"
Sora replied, a fake laugh escaping her chapped lips.
"I'm serious. He says he's
trying to discover all the levels of medicine, and psychology just happens to
be one of them."
A laugh, a real one, managed to
squeeze itself through Sora's throat. It had been a long time since Sora had
laughed, and it felt…sort of nice.
"I'll take it into
consideration," Sora chuckled to herself, hugging Yolei. "Thank you so much."
"You're welcome."

Ten minutes. In ten minutes Sora
was going to talk to Joe about Tai's leaving. Her mom was driving her, and Sora
had refused to say why she wanted her mom to take her to her friend's apartment.
Sora looked out the car window,
thinking to herself about the day's events. I wonder if Joe is going to help
me? I really hope so…I need a… Sora couldn't think of a word. I need a
cure. Please…please cure me.
"Sora…we're here," Ms.
Takenouchi announced to her daughter. Sora was sub-sequently pulled out of her
trance.
"Uh…Thanks mom," Sora replied,
leaning over to give her mother a kiss on the cheek. She opened the car door
and quietly walked the steps to Joe's apartment while Mrs. Takenouchi drove
away.
Sora took a deep breath before
ringing the Kido's doorbell. Joe answered the door cautiously.
"Hi Sora. Please, come right
in," he ordered, opening the door wide enough so Sora could come in.
"Thanks."
"Right in here," Joe directed,
motioning to a room with a love seat and a mahogany desk.
"Thank you so much, Joe," Sora
thanked again, laying down on the love seat, Joe taking his place behind the
desk.
He straightened his glasses.
"Please, call me Dr. Kido."
Sora giggled. "Alright…Dr.
Kido." She laughed. Joe got up and turned on his stereo, the song "Dr. Jones"
playing faintly in the background.
He walked over to Sora, pacing.
"So…what seems to be the problem, Ms. Takenouchi?"
Sora laughed, the second real
laugh she'd laughed in two days. "Please, call me Sora."
This time, Joe was the one who
laughed. "Okay…what seems to be the problem, Sora?"
"It's Tai." She responded. A
long "Ahh…" escaped Joe's throat. "He moved, and…and it was so hard on me. I
loved him, Joe---Mr. Kido---"she corrected herself. "Why did he have to go?
Why?" The last word was quivered, as more tears sprang forth from Sora's eyes.
Joe quickly comforted her.
"You know Sora, you had no
control of this situation, and it's not like your never going to see him again.
And there's always e-mail and the phone. So, in reality, Tai never really
left."
Sora wailed. "But it'll never be
the same!" She responded, digging her face more into Joe's chest. Joe stroked
her hair.
"Sora, y'know there is really
nothing else I can do for you except help you cope with the loss," Joe
explained, cupping Sora's face. She nodded.
"I want you to come here once a
week, Wednesday to be specific. With these classes, you will be able to deal
with Tai's moving away in a different way. Okay?"
Sora sniffed and nodded her
head. "Al…Alright. And Joe, I'm speaking to you as a friend, not a client right
now. I just want to say…Thank you." With that, she gave Joe a hug. Joe smiled.

Five seconds ago. Sora picked up
the phone. Five seconds ago it had rang again. It had been ringing off the hook
since her visit with Joe.
"Hello?"
"Is Sora there?" A husky voice
answered. Sora's heart stopped. She knew that voice.
"Tai…" she responded, tears of
joy falling from her ruby eyes.
"Hey Sora…I just want to say…I
miss you."
"I want you by my side."
"And…I hope you miss me too."
"Come back and stay!"
"I think about you every day."
"I really want you too."
"Sora, when I first met you, you
swept my feet right off the ground. You're the one I found."
"Oh Tai…" she replied, her smile
growing wider by the second, although more tears seemed to fall from her
eyes.
"I can't come back. I'm so
sorry; you don't know how much I want to. Sora…I love you." Tai explained,
wanting to reach through the phone line so he could hug Sora.
"Tai!" she wailed, clutching the
phone for dear life. "I love you so much! I can't explain it to you enough!"
A sigh was heard over the phone.
"I know."
A pause was heard. "I got to go,
attend to my homework."
Sora nodded in response.
"Alright. Good bye."
A breathless "bye" was heard on
the other line as the unmistakable click of the phone 'clicked'.
