Even though Christmas had been over, the holiday cheer still filled everyone's hearts. Christmas decorations were still up and the snow had been freshly fallen. As it sparkled on the balcony banister of the Izumi household, giggles and laughter came from inside the warm fire-lit home.

Izzy smiled at his two good friends that decided to stop by for the holidays. Tai and Sora, they laughed uncontrollably, clutching at the side of their stomach.

"Ha-Oh-(giggles)-Tai!" Sora gasped for air and placed a hand over her mouth giggling.

Tai smirked at Izzy who rolled his eyes, "Pretty funny huh Sora?" he himself laughed.

Izzy stood up placing his PiBook on the couch, stretching his arms high up in the air. "You guys want anything?" he questioned stepping into the kitchen.

Sora looked at Tai who shrugged, "Got some holiday cookies? I haven't eaten proper cookies, since my mom's been baking." Tai frowned. Sora slapped Tai on the shoulder, "Stop it Tai, your moms.. uh.. interesting cook."

The teens giggled, knowing that Tai's mother had been pretty bad at cooking. She didn't know how to make a proper meal since.. well.. since forever!

Sora twirled the sun flower clip in her hand, Tai reached out a hand taking it from her placing it on the side of her head. He was leaning in closer to her, Sora's cheeks flushed bright red and she blinked at Tai.

"Okay I got the.." Izzy came walking inside the living room, seeing his best-friends close to one another's face. "Cookies..?" he turned back around, feeling as awkward as ever.

"Uh! Wait Izzy come back here." Sora called to him, reaching out a hand. She pushed Tai back a few inches and gave him a 'wtf' look.

Tai raised his eye brows and his shoulders, 'what?' he mouthed.

Izzy came back around with cookies and placed them on the floor. He felt odd that he walked in on the two of them, trying to..kiss. Or even show affection.

Sora picked up a cookie and placed it on the side of her mouth, mouthing words to Tai saying. 'You know he's upset since Mimi turned him down.'

Tai's eye brows narrowed, 'How am I supposed to know?!'

'You're his friend!' She mouthed back angrily.

Izzy looked up, "So, what do you two have planned for the new years?" he questioned he partly didn't care, he just wanted to know if they were dating or not.

Sora smiled nervously, "Well, you know just going to enjoy the last bit of the holidays."

Tai groaned, "Don't remind me Sora.." he took a large bite out of the cookie.

"How about you Izzy?" They both questioned.

Izzy stared at the santa cookie, "I was.. well. Going to go visit my biological parent's grave."

It was a depressing thing to say, but he told them the truth! He was going to, Sora and Tai stared at each-other and frowned.

"Uh, Izzy are you sure that's a good idea?" Tai questioned.

Sora nodded, "Yeah.. I mean.."

"You might start getting attached to them." Tai finished for her.

Sora gasped and stared at Tai, "Tai!" she mumbled infuriated.

Izzy chuckled, smiling hiding his pain away. He was really upset that Tai had said that. But he had painted a fake face on. "Haha, sure Tai."

Tai exhaled, "Phew.." he held onto his chest. He thought he had just upset his ginger friend.

Sora knew Izzy was faking this smile, he was so good at it. "Yeah.." she said suspicious.

The phone rang and Izzy stood up, reaching for it he answered.

"Hello, the Izumi residence. This is Izzy speaking."

He looked up and smiled, "Oh hey Mrs, Kamiya!"

"Uh huh? Oh yeah, Tai's here."

He turned and looked at Tai, "Alright i'll tell him. Thanks Mrs, Kamiya. I'll see you soon. Bye."

Izzy hung up the phone and shook his head smiling.

Tai rolled his eyes, "Nnnnggggg..." he laid back. "What did she say?"

Izzy sat down crossing his legs, "She said, 'I want you to go pick up Kari from T.K's house. I don't want her walking home alone.'"

Tai groaned, "But she's older now! She's not the little baby like she was before.. Ugggh." He folded his arms pouting.

Sora chuckled, "Tai, I would think your the little baby right now." she smiled.

Tai glared at her and stood up, "Well, I guess i'm going.. "

He placed his goggles on the top of his forehead, and threw his coat on. "I'll see you later Izzy." His face grew a hot red, "And.. you too Sora.."

Sora giggled, "Bye Tai."

Tai left Izzy's house, once the door had closed Sora turned looking at Izzy. "Nice smile."

Izzy looked down and stood up closing his PiBook. "What do you want?"

Sora followed him to his room where he placed his PiBook on the desk, "It's just.. I know your upset."

Izzy sighed, "Who couldn't be, being adopted and everything. It's not just something you can forget.."

Sora placed a hand on his shoulder, "I'm going to tell you something I never told anyone."

Tai walked and huffed, his hands in his pockets. He stomped threw the snow in his boots. "Stupid snow.. stupid cold weather." he mumbled to himself.

Thank goodness that T.K's mom's house wasn't to far..

He looked at one of the stores and saw the Cafe sign. "Uh.. I want a french vanilla." He looked at the big clock in the town that chimed 2:00 o'clock.

"I still have time." He walked inside the store and smelt the sweet sensation of donuts. "Mm.. maybe more time." he slurped.

Tai got a french vanilla and a muffing and.. a donut. He sipped away and ate at the same time. "Mmm..." he smiled.

It was good until he heard the clock again, he gasped almost choking on his muffin. "It's three?! Already?!"

He picked up his things and ran out of the place, he knew he was done for. He would come home with Kari and it would be super already. He needed to do his crappy chores!

He ran with his drink in his hand and muffin in his mouth. Thank goodness he already ate the donut.

When he saw T.K's apartment a little relief filled the air, "Good." he mumbled eating the muffing. He knocked on his door on the 4th floor.

"Mmm.. Kari? T.K?" He shouted. No one answer, he tapped the door knob and the door opened. "Uhh..?" stepping inside the home. He looked around. "Kari?"

Tai still had his boots on and tracked snow into the house. But Kari was supposed to be ready by now.

He frowned and heard some noise, "Huh..?" it was coming from T.K's room.

He knew his mom wasn't home, and he stared at his door. The sound of giggling came from behind it. Tai gasped clenching his fist.

He held onto the door knob, and exhaled. He heard Kari scream but it was a good sort of scream. "That's it!" Tai growled.

Slamming the door open he gasped, dropping the drink and muffin. It hit the floor with a bounce, and everything grew quiet.

"KARRRRRIIIIIIIIIIII!"

Izzy stared at Sora as they both sat on his bed, "Oh.. I.. had no idea." a frown crack upon his face.

"It's okay I never knew him, but it only made my mom stronger." She smiled.

Izzy sighed, "I thought your mom got a divorce not.. Not your dad dying. How did he you know.."

Sora chuckled, "It's okay, well he died in a car crash."

Car Crash

Car Crash.

Sora's words rung throughout Izzy's head. "C-car Crash..?"

She nodded, "How did your's die?"

Izzy's lip trembled.. "Uh, well, they died.. in a car crash too.."

Sora blinked, "When..?"

Izzy looked away, "Uh, when I was just born. 1997.."

Sora gasped, her dad died that same year. Around Izzy's birthday. She covered her mouth, "I-I I have to go!"

She ran out of his room, leaving his apartment.

"Sora!" Izzy shouted he stood up and heard the door slam. Sitting back down on his bed he sighed.

'Could it be possible that... Sora's dad was also in that car crash that killed my father?' Izzy questioned to himself.

Izzy placed a hand on his mouth thinking. 'Or..'

He looked up gasping, his pupil's growing smaller. "Crap!"

Author's Last Comments!

Hah, I know I know. It's all very confusing right now. I ended it on a funny note, for both things with Tai, and Izzy.

What could be going on at T.K's apartment? :o

And what did Izzy just figure out?

You'll have to find out tomorrow! (When I post the next chapter)

So stay tuned and REVIEW!

Don't forget to tell me what you think is going to happen to everyone.

EDIT

Alright, I got a review from someone saying that I got the dates wrong for the digidestined children. I am aware of when the children were born,

however with that being said. I am making it as if the children were those ages today. (2012/2013)

Just so it's much easier with dates, there are some things I am changing. Which is birth dates, but that's another story that'll soon come later.

So that's just for all you who were confused!

P.S:

On that note, Sora's dad wasn't in 02, only an uncle but I always believed Sora's actual dad passed away. It's just my little way of being able to write this story.

And it seemed more to me that Sora's mother was strong independent, and a fierce women. She was so protective of Sora, and they never mentioned a father. Which is why I think her mother is more stronger.

I am still going to carry some aspects of the children, like Izzy being adopted. But their are some things that's going to change.

Including their ages;

Tai=17

Sora=18

Matt=17

Joe=19 (5th year of school)

Mimi=16

Izzy=15

T.K= 13

Kari=14
