Hey, I know it's been a while but I haven't forgotten about this story, I swear. I recently went to a funeral and was gone for about a week and a half so that's what held this up. I actually had the plot for this chapter up in my head and ready to be written. The only tough part was I didn't know whether Tai and Yama should have known each other before or not. Looking into the future, either one will shift the story in a different direction. Luckily I decided thanks to Tai's help

Tai: Go me!

Yes Tai, you rock. Which did I decide with? Well, you'll have to read to find that out. So without further ado, here's the next chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not, I repeat, DO NOT, own Digimon, any of the original characters or anything involving that whatsoever. The plot is my own original idea and my made-up characters are also mine as well. This isn't for profit, only for entertainment purposes. Also, because I missed it last time, this is boy+boy romance. Don't like, don't read or flame me with your opinion of the matter or in general. Constructive criticism is accepted though, as well as gold stars; they're shiny.

((Ok, now the chapter. ))

"………………" - talking

………………- thinking

Despite my awakening a few hours later, I learned that I was not dreaming this whole plot up. In reality it felt more like stepping into a nightmare as Allen pulled into the lot of parking space littered with cars of different sizes, shapes and hues. The frown on my face only deepened as the car got into the pattern of playing musical chairs with the other cars, trying to find the spot that matched two criteria: It was close enough to the park for fast travel and easy enough to remember where it is you parked at once you were ready to leave.

"Oh look, there's one Allen."

"Thanks Jen, I see it."

"Hurry, hurry Allen, before someone else steals it."

"Relax Youri, I'm driving as fast as legally possible."

In a matter of minutes we were outside the gates of Hell, I mean, the amusement park and already in line to get our tickets. Typical warm sunny day? Check. Lots of families with their kids? Another check. A happy-go-lucky Youri? Present and accounted for. Speaking of which, I tuned my brain in to listen to what kind of plans she had in store for us today.

"I brought my digital camera with me so we can all take photos. As soon as we get in, I'm going on the biggest, tallest ride I can find."

"That sounds like fun, but me and Jenny want to go hit up the games and shops."

"Ok then, I don't mind splitting up since we all have our cell phones," Noticing my bored demeanor, Youri decided to question my activities for the day. "and what about you Yama? Heading over to the go karts?"

"I was actually thinking of finding a quiet corner to take a nap in."

"This is a pretty expensive place to take a nap in Matt, seeing as it cost us all fifty dollars to get in."

Well, she had me there. Since I was stuck here I might as well try and enjoy myself as we all paid for our group discount tickets and walked through the gates.

"Fine, I'll be at the go karts and if you need me, I'll be on my cell."

"Perfect, so I'll meet up with you guys at around noon to get some lunch. Until then, later!"

"Well, there she goes." I replied with empty sarcasm as we all watched her race towards whatever death-defying roller coaster she could get her hands on.

"That's Youri for you. I don't think there's anything else she loves more than amusement parks."

"You said it Jen, that girl has too much energy sometimes. Well, like she said Matt, we'll meet you at twelve. Later."

With Jennifer and Allen heading off to who knows where, that left me at the entrance before I turned and started walking in a random direction and getting lost in the crowds. Taking a glance towards one of the many clocks in the place, the time read nine o' five. I had about three hours of time left to kill and most would be trying to find my way around the place while others laughed, joked and otherwise enjoyed themselves. I stuck out like the wrong piece to a jigsaw puzzle. I just didn't like being around a lot of people when it wasn't necessary and had Youri not had that best friend effect on me, I wouldn't have been here at all. I was here though, so I decided to stop complaining for the rest of the day and just enjoy myself. No sooner had I declared this vow to myself, I realized I was standing near the line for the go karts. By some strange whim of luck, I had managed to find the bloody thing without directions. Getting in the surprisingly short line, (the go karts to me seemed like the only thing worth coming to an amusement park for) I watched the current batch of drivers zip around the track. Nobody was really competing, seeing as there was a mix of children old enough to ride, teenagers, and adults present in the vehicles. This warranted an understanding to the smart group of people, in my book, who had decided to find entertainment not flying through the air.

"Hey Taichi, let's hit the go karts for a couple of laps. The line isn't long."

"Alright, save us a spot over in line while we throw our drinks away."

Wait, did someone just say Taichi? No, it couldn't be. Maybe they're referring to someone completely different. I mean, there's lots of guys with the name 'Taichi', right? There's no way it could be the same guy from school….

Taking a sideways glance backwards, my eyes nearly jumped out of my skull as they caught sight of that unruly mess of a hairstyle that belonged to someone I hadn't expected to see. Not today and definitely not here. Presently Tai, or Taichi Yagami as it's likely written on his birth certificate, had his back turned as he walked away towards a trashcan with what was likely the rest of his group, one of which was heading over in my direction. My throat began to tighten as I watched his retreating form before I began hatching my escape plan. Get as far away from the area as possible. The other boy clearly hadn't seen me yet which made that seem like all the more likely I would get away without being spotted as I jumped out of line and started passing through the crowd.

Damn, why is he here? It's bad enough Youri drags me out here to this amusement park and now I run into…..

"Hey, Yamato, wait up!"

….him?! Crap, he saw me.

Whipping my head around in slight annoyance, I see the spiky-haired youth jogging over to me to catch up (why I'm not running at this moment, I have no clue) in his midnight black jeans and bright orange shirt. It isn't long before his presence is upon me.

"Hey Yamato, what are you doing here? I really didn't expect you to be here at an amusement park."

"Yeah, I'm just hanging out with some friends for the day, that's all."

Keep it cool Yamato. Just make small talk and he'll go away.

"Oh, I see. Well me and my friends were about to hit the go karts, did you want to join us?"

"No thanks, I was just about to head to the food court to grab a bite to eat." This is totally untrue since I just got here, but he doesn't have to know that.

"Are you sure Yamato? I mean if you wanted to wait we could join you afterwards."

"No, it's alright. I'll go by myself."

"Oh, okay. You're not still mad about that kiss I gave you, are you? I should've asked you before I tried to do anything. Sorry."

"You sound so nonchalant about it as if it was a small thing."

I didn't like that look he as giving me. He had a goofy grin plastered on his face as if he hadn't a care in the world, even though he had committed a serious crime.

"Soooo, I take it you're still upset?"

"Still upset? Of course I'm still upset; you fucking kissed me and then acted like nothing was wrong!"

By the time I had gotten that sentence out of my mouth, my face was surely red from anger and embarrassment as the memory of that day flashed into my mind. That and I had yelled loud enough for quite a few park goers to hear me as they turned towards our conversation.

"Am I supposed to be upset or something? I kissed you because I like you Yamato. I wanted to tell you how I felt that day, but I got nervous and just kissed you. Afterwards you ran off."

"Of course I did. Are you listening to anything you're saying right now?!"

"Why are you so uptight? I said I was sorry. Next time I promise I'll ask first."

Next time? This creep really thinks he's going to get a chance to kiss me again?!

"There won't be a next time. Just stay away from me you freak!"

I was gone before he could utter another word from his mouth, bolting from the go karts as fast as possible as I made my way through the crowds and lines, looking for any place under the shade where I could escape to. I finally found some peace and quiet near a metal park table underneath a tree. It was mostly quiet and deserted, suiting my mood right now perfectly as I pretty much collapsed into the seat, resting my head firmly ontop of the cool surface.

"Great, this place really is Hell on Earth now. Why did he have to show up here?"

I felt slightly dizzy and I could feel a headache creeping just underneath my skull as I tried to drown out the nearby sounds of the amusement park. Giving up five minutes later, I sought help from my mp3 player in my pocket and let my eyes sink shut on that table until I lost consciousness once again.

And chapter two is complete. Like I said before, I'm so sorry it took so long to upload as I am experiencing life difficulties. ' I'll try to get working on chapter three sooner so I can get that up quickly, but in the meantime, reviews are very welcome. On a last note, I know Yamato is being "difficult" right now, but I'll be sure to explain everything in the later chapters, I promise. Anyway, I'll see you all later.
