Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon!!

Note: Well this is my first Digimon Fanfic. I know there is already a million other party fics, but I figured it would be a good start. This is mainly a Taiora but there will be hints of Takari and some Mimato. It takes place a little after Digimon 2 (I haven't seen the end so I don't really know what happens all I know is whatever they show on FOX KIDS Saturday mornings). Sorry to the Davis fans, but I don't like him very much so he won't be in this fic. Please R&R, I appreciate constructive criticism so if you have anything you would like to say just put it in the review or e-mail me at ViperArrow@aol.com. On with the story.

Summer Vacation: Prologue

It was a typical afternoon and Sora was walking down the street after lunch with her tennis team. The district tournament was next week and they were trying to decide who was going to play what line. However, Sora was not thinking about tennis that afternoon, she was thinking about a certain big brown haired boy who lately she couldn't seem to get off her mind.

Tai and Sora had been friends for as long as she could remember and Sora had always felt a close bond towards Tai. Lately however new emotions were stirring within her that she didn't understand. Every time she was around Tai she got a funny feeling in her stomach and became very nervous she had no idea why, but luckily for her the clueless Tai had not noticed yet. She didn't understand while she was feeling this way, she had been around Tai a hundred times before and was always so comfortable around him. So why was it that now she suddenly had developed feeling towards him? 'Wait a second,' thought Sora did she have feeling for Tai. He was strikingly handsome and that mass of brown spikes he called hair was really cute. But Tai was her friend, she couldn't like Tai...could she. "I'm so confused," said Sora out loud. She needed to talk to someone, but who, who could she talk to. Suddenly it hit her..MIMI, she could call Mimi. Mimi would know about these things, she was beautiful and popular. Sora just hoped it was the right time to call. She though about what she would say as she ran home.

***

Unknown to Sora, Tai was thinking similar things while lying on his bed. He couldn't understand why he suddenly had different feelings towards Sora. She was his best friend and they had been together many years, but he had always considered her as friend. But now he was beginning to feel different. Sora had changed a lot since their adventures in the Digiworld. Her hair was longer and she had become strikingly beautiful and when Tai was around her he couldn't seem to take his eyes of her. Luckily for him Sora hadn't noticed this, but he feared that sooner or later she would and he would have to explain himself. He didn't know what he would say if she were to notice, he was so confused. Could these funny feelings he had been mean that he was beginning to like Sora. These feelings had always been there but they were becoming stronger every time he saw Sora. Could he be falling in love with his best friend? "What are you thinking Tai," he said to himself, "Sora would never go out with you, geeze if she new you were feeling like this she would probably laugh in your face." Tai sighed, he need to ask someone about this. Preferably someone with some experience. Who could he ask? "DUHH," he said as he smacked his head. He could call Matt, Matt has had 100's of girlfriends he'd know what to do. Tai picked up his phone and dialed Matt's number.

"Hello," said Matt's dad.

"Hi, this is Tai, could I please speak to Matt," asked Tai.

"O sure Tai, one second I'll go get him," she responded.

"Thank you," said Tai.

Tai waited and listened as music began to get louder and louder. Suddenly Tai heard a loud banging and then Matt's dad shout something about loud music and Matt having nothing better to do than play the guitar all day. Tai sweatdropped and waited for Matt to pick up the phone. A few seconds later he heard Matt pick up.

"Hey Tai, what's up," Matt asked.

"Not much, what's up with your dad, he seemed a little hostile about the music," said Tai.

Matt chuckled, "He's just angry that because of my music I make more money than he does."

Tai laughs, "Ok."

"So..why did you call Tai?" Matt asked.

"O yeah I almost forgot. Um what I am about to tell you can repeat to know one okay," said Tai.

"Sure Tai, whatever," responded Matt.

"Okay, well lately I have been kinda feeling a little strange around Sora," said Tai.

"Really, how so," asked Matt.

"I dunno I just get this strange feeling when she is near and I can't stop staring at her," said Tai.

Laughing Matt says, "Sounds like Tai has a crush on Sora."

"I DO NOT, oh well maybe, but..I..ugh, I am so confused," said Tai.

"When you are around her do you suddenly find yourself lost for words? Are you afraid that anything that you say will sound stupid? Do you get dizzy when your eyes meet? Should I go on?" Matt asked.

"Yes, yes, yes and NO," said Tai.

Mat chuckled, "Well Tai, I'd say that you are flat out in love."

"Ugh, I was afraid of that," said Tai.

"Why do you sound so disappointed Tai, your are lucky to have found somebody to love," said Matt. "I can't even find someone to date."

"WHAT!!," yelled Tai, "You have had like 100 girlfriends, what are you talking about."

"Tai, those weren't girlfriends they were just crazy fans that I got suckered into going out with, and don't try to change the subject to me, answer my question," said Matt.

"Ugh, well I don't know, I mean there is NO way that Sora would ever go out with me," said Tai. "I mean why would she want to date me, I am her best friend not her boyfriend. If she found out that I felt this way about her she would never speak to me again. Everything would change and I'd rather have her as a friend than nothing at all."

"Tai, you are the biggest idiot I have ever met in my life," said Matt, "did you not notice how Sora has been acting for the past month."

"What are you talking about," asked Tai.

Tai heard the thud as Matt face faulted on the other line. "Tai you moron, every time you are around Sora all she does is stare at you when your not looking," said Matt, "and don't even get me started about your conversation."

Matt imitating Tai's voice, "H..h..hey S..s..sora, w..w..hat's u..up." Imitating Sora, "U..hh n..n..othing T..t..ai." Normal voice, "Need I say more?"

"O shut up Matt, we don't do that," said Tai.

Tai heard another thud and then Matt's voice, "Tai you have to be the most clueless person I have ever met. You need to pay attention to the things around you more."

"Whatever, o well I better go it's almost dinner time," said Tai.

"Okay, talk to you later Tai, don't forget tomorrow is the last day of school," said Matt.

"O yeah, I almost forgot," said Tai, "well I'll see you tomorrow, later Matt."

"Later," said Matt.

Meanwhile at Sora's house another phone conversation was just beginning. Sora had just gotten home and was in her room. She picked up her portable phone and dialed Mimi's very long phone number (long distance). She went through what seemed like an endless amount of menus and finally about 20 minutes later she heard ringing and someone picked up the phone.

"Hello, this is Mimi speaking," Mimi said in English.

"Umm..Hello," said Sora in Japanese.

"Oh sorry about that, Sora is that you," said Mimi.

"Yes, sorry I forgot they spoke English over there," said Sora.

"That's okay, so how have you been, I haven't spoken to you in a long time," said Mimi.

"Yah it has been a while, I'm fine, how have you been," said Sora.

"I've been okay schools almost out, I can't wait," said Mimi.

They talked senseless gossip for the next 2 hours until Mimi finally released she hadn't found out why Sora had called.

"Hey Sora, was there a reason to your calling or did you just call to gossip?" asked Mimi.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I called to ask for some advice," said Sora.

"What kind of advice," Mimi asked.

"Well um....it's about this guy," said Sora shyly.

"REALLY..SORA IN LOVE.. WHO IS THE LUCKY GUY??" asked Mimi.

Sora sweatdropped, "Calm down Mimi, I just need some advice."

"Okay, but who is the guy, is it anyone I know," said Mimi.

"Well kind of, umm..you won't tell anyone will you," said Sora.

"Who could I tell, I am on a different continent," said Mimi laughing. "No I won't tell anyone."

"Good, well the person is Tai..but I am.." Sora didn't get a chance to finish.

"O MY GOD YOU LIKE TAI," Mimi screamed and then cracked up laughing.

"What's so funny," asked Sora.

"Well I was just thinking it's about time," said Mimi.

"What do you mean," said Sora.

"Well it is obvious that you two are meant for each other," said Mimi.

Sora blushed, "Mimi we are not, besides Tai would never want to date me, we're just friends."

"Well you'll never find out if you don't ask him Sora," said Mimi.

"ASK HIM?" said Sora, "If I ask him it will change everything, I don't want to loose our friendship."

"It is your decision to tell him, but if you want my advice you should definitely tell him because I think that he feels the same way about you," said Mimi.

"Tai like me, no way," said Sora.

"Well if you want me to I could call Tai and ask him for you," said Mimi.

"WHAT!! NO WAY," screamed Sora, "but you could call Matt."

Mimi gasped, "Matt..umm...I don't think that's a good idea," said Mimi nervously.

"And why is that Mimi," Sora said laughing because she knew that Mimi had liked Matt for a long time.

"Umm..no..reason, but couldn't I just call Kari or someone," pleaded Mimi.

"What, you don't want to talk to Matty. I'll bet he would love to talk to you," joked Sora.

"You really think so," said Mimi sounding hopeful.

"Of course Mimi, it is so obvious that he likes you, he hasn't had a serious relationship since you left for America," said Sora, "And when you came back last summer he acted so strange whenever you were around him. Of course you weren't much different when he was around either. Your eyes would go all wide and you would stare at him like you were in some dream world."

"I DID NOT!" screamed Mimi.

"O come on Mimi, I know you like him, this would be the perfect excuse to call him," said Sora.

"I guess your right, ugh well I guess I better go your phone bill is going to be huge," said the defeated Mimi.

"Yikes it has been almost 2 hours, my mom is going to kill me," said Sora, "sorry but I have to go Mimi."

"It's okay, I'll call you later," said Mimi.

"Okay, and don't forget to call Matt," said Sora giggling.

Mimi sighed, "Okay fine, bye Sora."

"Bye Mimi," said Sora still laughing.

***

Mimi hung up the telephone and thought about calling Matt. 'Great,' she thought. 'How did Sora sucker me into this, I wish I didn't have to call him.' Mimi lay down on her bed and thought about what she would say to Matt. Ever since their journeys in the Digital World Mimi had, had a huge crush on Matt. He was so kind and caring when anybody was sad or hurt. She still remembered the day that her parents had told her that they were moving to America.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

---
Mimi's point of view

"NO!!," screamed Mimi turning around and running out the front door.

Her parents had just told her that because her fathers company had merged with an American corporation that they would be moving to the USA. She didn't want to move to America. All of her friends were here. Mimi began to cry as she ran down the road. She didn't know where she was going but she ran on. She came up on the park, ran in sat down behind a tree and buried her face in her legs and cried.

Matt's point of view

At the same time Matt was walking home from his first practice with a new band he and some of his friends were starting. He decided to take a quick detour through the park, but as he was walking through Matt thought he heard a faint crying. At first he ignored it, but as it got louder his conscience eventually got the best of him and he decided to investigate it. Matt saw that the sound was coming from behind a large tree so he slowly walked up to it and peeked around the trunk. He was surprised to find a young lady with her knees to her face crying.

"Are you okay," Matt said with a concerned voice to the girl.

"I'm fine, go away," said the girl without looking up.

"Well you don't look fine," said Matt.

---
Mimi's point of view
---

'Who does this guy think he is,' Mimi thought to herself. "I said I'm fine."

"Okay, sorry lady I was only trying to help, well at least go somewhere safe it is getting dark and this isn't the best place to be at night," said the man.

"No, I am not going anywhere, I am staying right here in Japan where I belong," said Mimi beginning to cry again.

"Um...I didn't say anything about leaving Japan lady I just said you might want to go somewhere besides this place," said the man who seemed a little confused.

"Please just leave," pleaded Mimi. She was beginning to wonder if this man was ever going to leave when a hand grabbed her shoulder and pulled her to her feet.

"Look, if you think I am going to leave you in this park by yourself in the dark, you are mistaken," said the man.

Mimi looked up at man and gasped. "Matt," she said.

Matt coughed, "MIMI,"

Mimi couldn't believe it, it really was Matt. Not knowing why Mimi buried her face in his chest and began to cry again.

---
Matt's point of view
---

Matt was still in shock. One second he was trying to get some lady out of the park before dark and now Mimi had buried her face in his chest and was crying her eyes out.

"What's wrong Mimi," Matt asked very concerned.

"I don't want to go," Mimi managed to say between sobs.

"Go where, what are you talking about Mimi," said Matt.

But Mimi just fell to the ground and began crying harder. Not knowing what to do Matt picked her up and set her down on a nearby bench. When he sat down beside her, she laid her head in his lap and sobbed. Matt didn't know what to do. So he did the first thing that came to his mind and began to stroke the back of Mimi's head. They sat this way for an hour until Mimi had cried herself to sleep. Matt seeing that Mimi was exhausted decided against waking her, she needed to sleep. He slowly picked her up and walked off towards her house.

It took him about 30 minutes but he finally got there. He walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell. A few seconds later Mimi's mother opened the door. When she saw Mimi a worried expression came onto her face.

"Don't worry she's okay, she feel asleep in the park, so I decide to bring her home," said Matt.

"O thank god, we were so worried, do you mind taking her to her room," replied Mimi's mother.

"No problem," said Matt and carried Mimi up the stairs and set her on her bed. He gently took of her shoes and placed her beneath her covers. Then Matt did something that even he did not expect. He bent down brushing the hair out of Mimi's face and kissed her on the forehead. He then walked out the door and closed it behind him. When Matt went down the stairs he decided to see if Mimi's parents knew what she was talking about.

"Um..excuse me," said Matt to Mimi's parents who were sitting on the couch.

"Yes Matt," said Mimi's father.

"Well Mimi said something about not wanting to go somewhere and I was just wondering if you knew what she was talking about," asked Matt.

"Um.. maybe you'd better sit down," said Matt's mother and then Mimi's parents began to explain to Matt why Mimi had been so upset.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mimi sighed, 'Well I guess I'll call him tomorrow because it is to late there right now.' To kill time she decided to go to the mall, so she changed and left.

Note: Hmmm...this is turning out different than I expected. Originally this was supposed to be a short and quick Romance, but it seems that I have written a little more than I expected and it is turning into a mini-series. I also thought I was going to center around Tai and Sora, but I seemed to have focused it more around Mimi and Matt. Ugh.. O well I'll just add more Taiora next part and I'll try to add the Takari in too. If your wondering about the title it will make a little more sense in the next part. Well thanks for reading and again please R&R. Nothing motivates me more than reading reviews. Bye for now.
