I started watching digimon for one reason only, Matt. Not that I didn't like the others too, but I know I wouldn't have started to watch the show if it wasn't for Matt. Now my digimon background is zero.. I don't know much about the show and you'll notice that if you read my story. So this is something different and you might read things that don't make sense at all in regard of the show.. Just to let you know. No "real" romance, mainly frienship but love confessions do take place. Digimon02 never happened. Oh, and in the future Matt does NOT change his hair. He remains the same as in the first season with the hair, harmonica and all..yeah only tallerVBG
WHAT HEARTS CAN SAY!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
AT THE CLUB:
After their fight, Matt had turned his back and stormed out; his eyes full of anger. The minute he stepped out of the building the rage had disappeared from his deep blue eyes and was replaced with sadness and heartfelt regret. He hates it when he and Tai get into a fight..And they do fight alot. "Dammit Tai, why do you have to act like a jerk! " Matt hissed to himself.. "Great, so I'll spend my holidays alone!"
He looked back and stared at the building, actually considering the possibility of him going back and apologizing to Tai..The thought only lasted a minute before his enjured pride stepped in and dismissed it from his mind. He turned away and miserably started walking home.
At the building, upstairs, Tai was staring down at Matt from the window, his eyes holding the same regret and sadness of his friend. He was still wearing his uniform from the game he and Matt just finished. 'Sheesh, why does his best friend have to be such a jerk sometimes?' Tai wondered. ... Best friend? If someone had told him this years ago, he'd be laughing his head off. But it was true. He and Matt,from all people, had managed to stay friends and become real close 'best friends'. Not that the others hadn't kept in touch, but Matt was different. Their houses are minutes apart, they share the same school, the same club, and they play in the same team. How many times had Matt called him at late hours just because he was bored or in need for a talk. And how many times had he stormed in Matt's place without bothering to knock just to grab something he needed or to drag a late-Matt out of bed.. The things they do together are countless...And he does hate it when they get into fights. Specially now with everyone,friends and family, either out of the country or busy..only Matt and himself stayed. They got their houses all to themselves.
After few seconds Tai had confessed to himself that the fight was mainly his fault,'NOT that Matt was innocent,' he emphasised to himself. Tai considered the idea of him catching up with Matt and apologize but his pride stepped in the way so he just stood there thinking that to catch up with Matt he needed a good excuse. He watched his friend disappear into the familiar road.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Matt was looking down with both hands in pockets as he slowly walked down the road. Suddenly few guys stood in front of him blocking his way forcing him to stop. Matt slowly looked up and stared at the boys before him with cool blue eyes.
"You owe me something boy,"Mickey said.
"I don't owe you nothing Mickey..Now get out of my way," Matt coolly answered.
Matt quiet and cool nature didn't help him make many friends but did manage to get him enemies quite easily...Lots of guys were not happy with the fact that Matt was the most popular between girls...although Matt didn't care much about that fact.
Mickey was a tough guy at the club and he started bothering Matt since the first time they met.. Mickey would accuse Matt of many things- last time was when he accused Matt of cheating at the game in front of everyone...and later in the change room he promised Matt that he'll pay. Matt hadn't bother with the warning but now it seemes Mickey had meant what he said.
Ignoring the three boys in front of him, he tried to continue walking ahead but he was grabbed roughly by the arm and spun around. Mickey stuck his face to Matt's.."I promised you you'll pay. didn't I?" Matt could feel Mickeys breaths against his neck. He tried to pull his arm free but Mickey's grib only tightened so Matt suddeny spun around and delivered a strong and sudden blow to Mickey's face. More caught of guard then hurt Mickey stumbled to the floor letting go of Matt's arm in process.
Matt was surrounded by the other two boys right away.. He kicked one of them and punched the other but he was eventually overpowered. Matt was painfully restrained by the two boys as Mickey angrily approached him.
"You dirt bag! How dare you!" Mickey spat angrily as he wiped the blood from his lips. He punched Matt in the guts once and then twice before someone jumped him from nowhere and they both rolled on the floor struggling against each other. Matt took advantage from the situation and quickly struggled free. The two boys were too caught up with what happened to their friend, they weren't prepared for the sudden struggle followed by an angry attack from Matt. Tai joined Matt soon and both were able to overpower the remaining two. The two guys had begged Matt and Tai to stop and they did. After that the two boys had crawled their way to the fallen semi-concious Mickey.
Matt knees buckled and he suddenly felt too weak to stand. Tai caught him before his knees touched the ground.
"You okay?" Tai asked worried.
"Yeah."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. I'm fine."
"Good."
Matt managed to get himself back together and stand. He looked up at Tai who still held his arm supporting him.
"Thanks Tai"
"Hey, no problem. What are friends for?" Tai smiled. Matt smiled back.. Their "sorry" and "I forgive you" were over. With their arms around each other, they made their way home.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tai yawned aloud for the tenth time. Both he and Matt were sitting on the sofa watching a boring movie at Matt's house.
He stood up, yawning again.."I think, I'll call it a night. See ya tomorow."
"Hey why don't ya sleep over tonight. You look beat and I bet that black eye doesn't feel good either,"Matt offered.
"Na. I'm expecting a call from Kari."
"T.K tells me they're having fun."
"Why am I not surprised?" sighed Tai.
T.K. and Karie both had a part in a play. It began as a school assignment but the play got so famous they asked the crew to preform in different cities.
"I think my sister is having a crush on your brother," Tai said in a serious tone.
Matt smiled. "Hey, I thought it was the other way around."
Tai smiled back. "Well, at least they're luckier then us. Good night."
"Good night."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Who the hell are you? How did you get here?" Matt inquired with anger mixed with surprise.
The tall man approached him steadily, his eyes light with a bright red light. Matt was frightened; every time the man steps forward towards him, he'd take shaky steps backward till his back touched the wall and there was no escape. Matt eyes were wide with fear. "I must take you with me," the man's voice was deep and anything but human.
"No," was the only word Matt managed to atter.
"You are the choosen one. You must be sacrificed with your crest - for your people and mine - for your world and the digital world. Your soul must be thrown in the hiatus between the two worlds. That is the prophecy of light."
"Why me?" Matt wanted to know.
"You are the chosen one," the man only repeated.
The man's black hair turned fiery red, then the whole hair was nothing but flames of fire. "I must take you with me," the man said his eyes still light with a bright red ligh. Matt could only press his shaky body further against the wall. The man suddenly produced a bright weird-shaped dagger. He lifted his free hand and grabbed Matt's chin. Matt struggled in vain. He was aware that the dagger was aimed at him.. "NOO"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Matt suddenly bolted upright in bed...his eyes wide with fright. He was breathing hard and sweating exuberantly.
"Matt you okay? God you scared me! I thought you'd never wake up. Hey, Matt, talk to me,huh?" Tai urged.
Matt's breathing eased and he started to take in deep shallow breaths.
"Hey..take it easy. It was only a dream." Tai sat beside Matt on bed and started to massage Matt's stiff shoulders.
"You okay?"
Matt nodded.
"I'll get you some cold water."
Tai helped Matt drink the water because Matt's hands were shaking so badly. After Matt calmed down, the two friends were both silent for a short period of time.
"Wanna talk about it?" Tai questioned.
Matt told his friend about the dream that's been bothering him for the last week.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Kari called," Tai said to Matt who was washing his face.
"Yeah? How is she doing?"
"You said it. They're having a blast..while I'm here worrying."
"You know TK will take good care of her."
"Yeah but I can't help worrying."
"Yeah I can't help worrying about T.K either," Matt sighed.
"Hey what do ya want to do today?" Tai asked.
"Don't know," Matt shrugged his shoulders as he made his way to the kitchen and poured himself a cup of orange juice. "Have an idea?"
"Well, I was thinking about...."
Tai was cut short by the phone ringing. Matt went to pick it up.
"Hello? .... Mimi!! How are you? Uh, sure thing. ...When?....We'll be there..Take care..Bye." with that Matt hung up.
"It's Mimi. She's at the airport..We'll go pick her up," Matt offered before Tai had the chance to ask.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"MATT! TAI!!" Mimi ran to greet her friends. Before Matt could react, Mimi threw herself into his arms, hugging him close.
"Uhh, Hello Mimi!" Matt felt himself blush and sweat.
Mimi then hugged Tai. Matt noted that Tai didn't turn red nor did he start to sweat.
"So where should we go?"
"You're not tired?" Tai asked as he picked some of Mimi's luggage while Matt carried the rest.
"Nope. We're going to have fun then lunch while you tell all the news, "Mimi put her arms around the two boys urging them forward. The boys looked at each other then smiled.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
AT THE RESTAURANT:
"Oh so Sora went to the trip with her mom and Izzy's won the first price and Joe's in the US to visit his grandfather. They'll be back soon though right?"
"They should. We know that Kari and T.K will be here next week. but we're not sure about the others,"Matt answered.
"So that's it?"Mimi wanted to know.
"Yeah. That's about all the news we have..Adding that we won the game," Tai added.
"I'm so proud of you!" Mimi ruffled Tai's hair playfully.
"So, what're going to order Matt?"
"Matt?! Hey, you with me?" Mimi waved her hands across Matt's face.
"Matt?"Tai felt that something was wrong.
"It's him.." Matt murmured staring at someone. "It's the man from my dreams."
Tai followed Matt's stare and noted a tall man with black hair who was staring right at Matt without even blinking.
'We should get out of here' a sound in Tai's head screamed. Tai turned to his friends. "We should get out of here,"he told them already standing up and pulling Matt up with him.
