Hey guys. This is my very first attempt on writing a Digimon fanfic, therefore I really hope that you guys will enjoy reading it. Oh and please review and tell me what you think about it, it will help me a lot in the future. This is a mix of Sorato/Taiora, (And no, Tai is not the bad guy here! ^^).

I would also like to inform that some of the scenes are based on a Bollywood Movie named: "Kal Ho Na Ho" (- Tomorrow Might Never Come).

I also want to give a huge thank you to ValeurStories for the incredible beta she had been for this story. It's only because of you that my story is published. Thank you so much! You seriously rock, girl!

Anyway, enjoy folks and remember to review!

I do not own Digimon or the characters (even though I would love to own Matt ^^ )

Prologue:

This story is about Sora Takenouchi, the keeper of the crest, Love. The crest suited her perfectly, as she always had been the caring and the motherly figure of the digi-destined group. Everyone tend to have issues in their lives and well no one is perfect, but lately she was having some problems: She was still a bit of a tomboy, but at least she had stopped playing soccer and had joined the Tennis Club. The problems she had with her mother and most of all with her father: They were never around when she needed them.

Therefore she had been a bit grumpy lately, as the others had noticed, but a certain person among the group was going to make sure that she learned to live her life as she wanted. Learned to love her life. And the certain someone was the rock star of the group, the keeper of Friendship, Matt Ishida.

So, this story is all about Love and Friendship and what people are capable of doing for each other.

For a couple of days Matt had been feeling sick and had had some chest pain. Although he for a long time had chosen to ignore it, thinking that it was nothing serious, he one day concluded that it was finally time go to the doctor.

He decided to drive toward the hospital and get a check-up for his health, just in case. He had already booked an appointment, so he only needed to wait for some minutes until it was his turn to go inside. After a couple of minutes, they called him in and the doctor soon began with the procedures. When he was done, he thanked the doctor and the medical told Mat that he could come and collect the results within a week.

After a couple of days he stood outside the hospital and waited for the results of the tests he had done a couple of days ago. He never liked hospitals, and therefore he never liked coming there.

Suddenly a woman calling his name interrupted his thoughts. He leveled his gaze with the woman. She had long brown hair, big eyes and was quite pretty and not to mention young. She smiled at him and reached out her hand to greet him:

"Hello Mr. Ishida. I'm Kate Wilson, your doctor." He shook her hand and smiled at her. She then guided him toward her cabin at the hospital.

"Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Miss Wilson."

She smiled at him and replied: "Please, no need to be so formal. We are going to see each other a lot now, so therefore you can call me Kate".

"Well in that case, you can call me Matt. Mr. Ishida makes me feel way too old." She lightly chuckled at his comment.

She opened a file and took a couple of papers out and began to sort them out.

He began to glance nervously around the room and took a deep breath. He didn't know why he was feeling nervous, because everything was like it should be right?

"So, tell me Doc. how does it look?" Her expression got serious and she looked down at the reports in front of her. Matt could sense that something was wrong: "That bad huh?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Ishida, but as you know we did some test on you and we have figured out why you have been feeling pain in your chest, and having trouble with breathing normally". She paused for a moment, and looked at him. She continued however: "I'm afraid to tell you, that it's not looking good."

"What do you mean, exactly?"

"Mr. Ishida, you're suffering from a heart disease, which means that your heart is not working like it should be."

He was shocked: "What? H… Heart disease? How can…? I mean…"

"This kind of disease only affects few people; People who either is born with the disease or somehow have it later on in their life. But based on the reports and tests which we've done, it clearly says that there's something wrong with your heart and it's not working as it should be." Matt could not believe what he just had heard. He was suffering from heart disease. He continued to listen to the doctor.

"It is however shocking that you've been diagnosed with it in such a young age at 20, but don't worry, there is still hope, and we will do whatever it takes to prevent something happens to you."

He was too shocked to say anything. He simply sat there and adjusted the news, which broke his world into pieces. They continued to talk about his health and explained him how he should be taking care of his health in the future, but he barely listened in his bliss of disdain.

He got home after the appointment and sat down on the couch in his apartment. He sat there quietly, in the dark, as he didn't even bother to turn on the lights in his living room. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself, and thought about his life and all the things he wanted to do in the future that he might not get to.

He slowly opened his eyes and his gaze caught something standing at the table beside the TV. It was a group-picture of all the degi-destined, which was taken at Mimi's 19th birthday celebration at a restaurant. He couldn't help but smile at his eyes fell on each member of the group. His eyes however stopped at a certain person. Slowly his smile faded away, when he looked at Sora. He had developed strong feelings for her lately, but was however afraid to tell her as it might ruin their long-time friendship. "I guess it's not my biggest worries right now" he lightly chuckled to himself.

Suddenly his expression turned serious and made a promise to himself that no one would know about his condition, not even his own brother, TK, or his longtime crush, Sora. He wouldn't risk hurting them and therefore he had to be brave to put on a smile just for their happiness.

Hope you guys liked the prologue. Please tell me what you guys think and remember to review.
