**This is a time of firsts! I have written a Rulee, or whatever ya'll like to call them, and now I have started this Tajeri! This fic is dedicated to Caleb, who reviewed my last story (Ice Princess). He asked me to write a Tajeri, and hopefully I don't screw this one up too bad! Please be gentle, this is my very first Tajeri, and my second Tamers fic. . . .and I don't watch Tamers that often, so. . .**
**Yamato: When are you going to write another story with me in it?!**
**Ummmm. . .soon. . .and there's a Takari coming up too!**
**Yamato: Okay, whatever you say. . .just get them done!**
**I would, if a certain blonde would stop pestering me and let me start THIS one!**
**Yamato: Okay, okay. . .I'm leaving. . .**
**Great! On with this fic!**
We'll Meet Again

~*~Takato~*~
Stupid alarm clock. . .wait a minute, today's the day!!! I gotta get up! Can't wait to go can't wait to go can't wait to go!! Gah, where are my shorts!? This place is a total mess, even though most of my junk is packed away. . .scary, huh? It's getting late, I better get dressed. . .hmmm. . .khakis, green shirt. . .yea, that'll do it. I'm off!!

Takato rushed down the stairs of his apartment, greeting his mother and father as he took a seat at the table. Takato's mother handed the teen a bowl of cereal, which he gobbled down hungrily.
"Hold on, Takato. Don't eat so fast! Are you in a hurry to go somewhere?" Takato's father said simply. Takato simply looked at his father and rolled his big brown eyes before taking another big gulp of his breakfast. The adults smiled happily and ate their meals also.
"So when are you leaving, son?" Takato's mother asked, trying her best not to cry. It wasn't every day that her baby, her only baby, left for college for the first time. Takato swallowed quickly and put his bowl in the sink.
"Um, I was thinking about leaving in about an hour." Takato replied. His parents nodded slowly as he bounded back up the stairs to his room, where he lugged down three big cases and some boxes.
"Alright, I guess this is it. . ." Takato muttered as he finished loading his black Explorer with the last of his belongings. His parents circled their arms around him, embracing him tightly. Takato hugged them back, tears stinging his chocolate eyes. He let go of his mother and father and got into the driver's seat, buckling his seat belt and turning on the car.
"Be careful, son. I'm proud of you Takato." his father said softly, smiling at his boy with pride. He felt the pain of letting Takato leave home and go to college, but he couldn't hold Takato back. He felt like someone had taken a part of him and tore it out. His heart ached as he recalled Takato's childhood, then realized what a wonderful young man he had become.
"Make sure you don't let strangers into your dorm. . .and don't forget to dress for the weather. . .and-" Takato's mother warned, taking Takato's hand in hers as she continued to fight tears. Takato nodded and silenced his mother with a gentle tap on the hand. He ran a hand through his shortish light brown hair and sighed.
"I know, mom. I will. Don't worry about me." Takato replied. He watched his mother lose control and start bawling as he rolled up the window and drove down the street toward his new beginning at college. A lump formed in his throat as he remembered times in the past with his parents.
*Flash* Takato taking his first steps to his father, his mother in the background cheering him on. . . .family vacations. . . .Takato learning to drive and eventually recieving his license. . . .Graduation with Henry and Rika. . . .Prom with Jeri. . . .
~*~Takato~*~
Jeri. . . .God, I miss her. . .why did she have to go away? Last time I saw her, we were Juniors. I remember the last time I got to hang out with her before she moved away. I can see everything clearly. . .the color of her hair, her huge brown eyes the shined with so much radiance. . . .the way she moved. I can remember the tiniest details like what she wore that night. It was the night of our Junior Prom. She was leaving the next day for some place in North America. I don't know where. Anyway, she was wearing this beautiful pale blue dress with little spots of glitter dotting it sporadically. Her hair was tied in a pretty mess of reddish brown curls with small blue flowers laced in it. She looked so pretty and grown up, I didn't realize how lovely she truly was until that night. We danced the whole night, talking and laughing. I know she liked me, and she knew I liked her. We just couldn't start a relationship and end it the next day. And it was killing me to keep from telling her how I felt. The night ended, and Jeri left the next afternoon. I never told her about how I felt. I wonder where she is now. . .what she's doing. I hope she's happy.
~*~Omniscant~*~
Takato drove silently down the highway, his mind occupied with thoughts of Jeri. He never talked to her after that night two years ago, and it was likely he'd never find her again now that they were both going to college. He'd dated around, and even had a steady girlfriend for a few months. He'd gotten over his feelings for her and moved on a little too quickly for his liking, but there was nothing he could do about it. He moved his hand from the wheel and tuned in to the local radio station.
"I might as well listen to some music, I have along drive ahead." Takato said to himself as he sped down the highway past a sign reading "Now Leaving Odaiba".
**That's the first of many chapters. I hope it didn't suck, guys. . .**
**Yamato: Nah, it wasn't too bad. . .maybe you could add an important person to the story. . .like Jeri! Yea, this IS a Tajeri!!!!**
**Shut up, I'm working on it. She's going to make a HUGE impression in the near future!**
**Yamato: Okay, I'll take your word for it. And Sora says that she wants to be in my fic too BTW.**
**Oh does she? Good, coz I'm planning on putting you both together in it! Lata Ya'll!!**
**Yamato: I guess that means I have to go too. . .**
**Ice Angel drags Yamato out and locks him in her closet**
**Yamato: When are you going to write another story with me in it?!**
**Ummmm. . .soon. . .and there's a Takari coming up too!**
**Yamato: Okay, whatever you say. . .just get them done!**
