DANG I got like six reviews in two hours. THANK YOU ALL SO SO SO SO MUCH. Each of you gets brownie points. Chapter two coming is coming your way. For those who may wonder during this chapter Ken did move to Odaiba and he currently lives there and plays on their soccer team. For those of you who don't know much about soccer positions I'm gonna give you a walkthrough now. That way if you don't get much out of this chapter, at least you can walk away saying you learned something. I will also say who is currently playing those positions
Strikers (Offensive score leader) Right/Left: Ken/Davis
Mid fielder (Offense and Defense)
Right/Center/Left: Dustin/Tai/Leon
(Right and left mid-fielders
are also called wings)
Fullbacks (Defenders) Right/Center/Left: Kaiyo/Jon/Zack
Stopper (Co-leader of defense
plays between midfielders and fullbacks): Ronni
(Must be able to
kick the ball great lengths)
Sweeper (Lead man of the Defense
plays behind fullbacks): Frosty (will be replaced later)
(Last
line of defense before goalie, must be fast)
Goalie: Devon (will be replaced later)

A soccer ball went spinning through the air it had incredible speed on it from the moment it collided with Davis' foot. The eyes of Devon, the current goalie, were now wider than the soccer ball itself as he prepared his hands which were much to low and the ball came in contact with his forehead. The ball flew out of the goal, but the goalie hilariously went flying into it. Tai, Ken, and Davis all had hands on their faces. For five long years the Odaiba Centurions had not won a single soccer game, and it didn't look like they would start too soon. The only players who could play the all important role of Goalie were Tai, Ken, and Davis, each of whom were needed more on the field of play than in the box. The coach's whistle sounded at the start of the first practice for a pre-season pep talk.
"Gather round everyone!" The coach yelled and slowly the team gathered. "Now I know we don't have the best record in the league, but that shouldn't stop us from trying our best this year."
"What's the use?" Devon who now had a large red mark on his head asked "We'll never win!"
"Don't say that!" Tai, the captain, scolded "I think we have the potential to win it all this year."
"No we don't!" Leon, another player, said. "We don't have anyone to play goal or sweeper."
"Well if we practice then we can do well." Ken said. And so the arguing went on back and forth, pretty much for the whole practice. The three players who happened to be digi-destined left the field in dismay.
"Aren't you coming, Tai?" Davis asked when he noticed Tai had stopped near the tennis court.
"No, Sora and I are walking home together tonight. I'll catch you later!" he said, and the other two left.
Tai turned back to the fence but jumped back when a tennis ball collided with it at full speed. He looked up and saw Sora laughing hysterically at his facial expression. Tennis practice let out and Sora ran out the gate and gave her best friend a big hug.
"You almost killed me!" Tai exclaimed. Sora giggled.
"I was trying to!" she replied and Tai looked at her with shock, making her laugh some more. "Thanks for walking me home Tai"
"No problem that's what best friends are for. How did practice go?" he asked as he picked up her bag and threw it over his shoulder.
"It was good, and yours?" She asked cautiously.
"We spent the entire time arguing, but no punches were thrown so I'd say it went pretty well." He said with a smile.
The two of them had a lot of laughs on the way home and Tai walked Sora up to the front door of her apartment.
"Thanks again, Tai!" She said
"No problem." He replied
"I was wondering, Tai. Since my parents are going out of town this weekend and want someone to stay with me and make sure I stay out of trouble. Will you be that person?" Sora asked
"Do you have to ask?" He said and she gave him another hug before waving goodbye. He smiled and walked the rest of the way home. When he got inside his apartment the first person he saw was TK. He was carrying two glasses of Orange juice towards Kari's room.
"Hey Tai!" he said when he noticed him walking in.
"Hey, do you guys have a project or something?" Tai asked
"Yup, we have to interview eachother and present each other in front of the English class."
"So why are you here?" Tai said.
"Are you implying that we know everything about each other?" TK asked
"Yeah I am." Tai replied
TK laughed "It gave us a reason to hang out."
"Yeah well use protection!" Tai joked
"Shut up! We're just friends." TK said with narrow eyes.
"Sure you are." Tai laughed as he entered his own room.
"Whatever" TK walked into Kari's room since the two of them now had different rooms.
"What took you so long?" Kari asked.
"I was talking to Tai." TK said as he handed Kari her juice. 'Tai was right about one thing, we do know everything about each other, we get along great, and we tell each other everything. Maybe we should go out!' TK thought 'But she doesn't like me like that, she could have anyone she wants. Why would she pick me? Ahh why don't I just ask her out?!'
"TK, may I ask you something?" Kari asked
"You just did." He replied "But go ahead and ask something else too." He said as he took a gulp of his juice
"What do you look for in girls?" His face got red as he swallowed hard on his drink. He was not expecting that.
"Ummm…. Well… I…. Uh" He tried to find the right words to say and he got an Idea. "Well I like girls who are nice, have short brown hair, and who I get along with." Kari started blushing "Now I have to ask you what you look for in guys."
Kari spiked the same idea "I like guys who aren't afraid to stand up for what's right, have golden blonde hair, blue eyes, who are taller then me, and who I get along with me great"
"Well I guess Davis is off your list then" TK joked 'does she really like me? I have to ask her now'
"Kari?" he said after five minutes of silence
"Yes, TK" she said with a smile
"Will you…?" 'GO OUT WITH ME, c'mon TK just say it' "Will you…?" He was cut off by his phone he held up a finger to her as he answered it "Yeah… Oh hey mom… yeah I'll be there soon… love you too… bye." He closed the phone. "Sorry Kari I really have to go. I'll see you tomorrow."
"What were you going to ask me?" Kari asked
"Now's not a good time. Later."
"Ok, bye" TK was out the door and Kari looked down at the floor with disappointment.
When TK left the building he let out a big sigh.
"Nice one, Takeru" He said to himself "When are you gonna grow a backbone?"
