My first Digimon Fic! And most likely not my last!

#1: The Day of Days
A very happy student walked down the halls of Odiba High School. He was no ordinary student, though. He was tall and handsome, messy brown hair, an athletic build from years of playing soccer, and his life changing adventures in the digital world. This man was Tai Kamiya.
"Today's the day!" He said to himself as he rounded a corner. "Today's the day I finally ask her!" He had his plan all worked out in his head, he would walk casually up to her, and ask if she had any plans for that night. If she said no, he'd ask her if she was interested in doing something with him, essentially a date, and if she was, his years of friendship would make it seem so that he was just seeing if he wanted a friend to accompany him. Of all the plans he had made over the years, this was the one was the most thoroughly thought-out of them all. He had had many days to think it over, always thinking that he would do it that day, but then wussing out at the last minute. "It's ironic that the man holding the Crest of Courage would chicken out at the though of what he was about do, but would dive headfirst into dangerous situation after another." He said, still to himself. A simple realization had finalized his decision. "If I don't do it soon, someone else will!" He sped up as he said the last bit. He rounded a final corner into a crowded hallway, and ran smack into someone.
"Glad I found you, I need to tell you something!" The equally handsome blonde boy said, regaining his balance after the impact, and dragging Tai back around the corner, into the empty hall. "I just did it! I just asked her!"
"No way!" Tai said, exited for his friend. "What did she say?" He had a feeling he already knew the answer.
"She sorta just looked at me for a moment while her friends all giggled, but basicly, she said yes."
"Basically?"
"Yeah, she started talking really fast, but I made out at least one yes in there. So, what about you?"
"I was going for it just now, but then you ran into me."
"Hey! You ran into me!"
"Whatever, I'm going, I'll talk to you in a minute." Tai walked away, back around the corner and out of sight. Another shaggy head of brown hair walked around the corner, shorter than Tai.
"Hey Matt, why has Tai so flustered?" He asked, resting his back on the wall.
"He's finally going to ask Sora out."
"Really? Bout time. Hasn't he been in love with her like forever?"
"Yeah, but he couldn't work up the nerve. S, who you going with, Davis?"
"Who else, you know I won't settle for anything less than the best."
"Are you asking me out?" Matt asked jokingly.
"No you dumbass, I mean Kari."
"Oh, so she finally broke down and decided to settle for you?"
"Yeah… HEY! What do you mean settle for me!" Davis yelled, red faced. Matt just laughed.
Tai made his way through the crowded hall quickly, having only a few minutes to find her before class started. He had to do it now, because if he sat through first and second period, some kind of doubt would rise, and he would most likely wuss out again. After wading through a group of small freshman girls, who all swooned as he made his way by, he found what he was looking for. An extremely attractive redhead stood by some lockers, conversing with her best Female friend, Mimi.
"So he just asked you? What did you say?" Sora asked the exited brunette.
"I said yes, of course. You know how long I've been waiting, who are you going with?" She responded gleefully.
"No one yet." Sora answered looking at the ground. Several people had asked her, but she always said she needed to mull it over, and would get back to them. Secretly, she was hoping someone in particular would, but she decided if that person didn't ask her today, she'd just pick one of the others.
"Well, if he doesn't ask you, who are you going to pick?" Mimi asked, narrowing the request field.
"I don't know, probably Joe, because he's been my friend for a while, and he's about the top of the heap that has asked." She said, still staring at the ground.
"Didn't you here, he figure that that was as good as a rejection, and is going with Naomi."
"What about Izzy?" Sora didn't have an ear for gossip the way Mimi did, so she was out of the loop on these things.
"He's going with that exchange student from Germany." She caught a meaning full look from Tai over Sora's, and correctly interpreted it. "Well, I've got to go, Jessie said she had something important to show me, but it's probably just a new purse or something, talk to you later." She sped off, leaving Sora to ponder her choices. A tap on the shoulder brought her back to reality. She turned to find just the man she wanted to see, and barely managed to keep her happiness in check.
"Hello Tai."
"Hi Sora." He said, but then froze as he met her eyes. He fought to regain himself. "You know that Dance on Friday night?" He said, but realized just how stupid he must have sounded.
"Yeah, what about it." Her heart had jumped, but she wasn't going to get her hopes up.
"Well, I was wondering if, … um… er… Damn, I forgot what I was going to say." His panic had caught up with him, and backed up his thoughts. He didn't even realize he had said the last part out loud.
"What?" she said, her heart jumping higher, but it sank a bit at the next set of words"
"Well, we've been friends a long time, and I was wondering if you'd like to go with me." He just popped out his back up explanation instead of what he really wanted to say.
"Well, I guess going as friends is better than going with some of the other people that have asked." She said, half way between joy and sadness.
"Other people asked you?" Tai blurted out, but the bell sounded, drowning out his words.
"What?" She asked, not catching what would have been considered very rude words.
"Um... Thanks see you later." And he ran off in jubilation.
