The phone rang, interrupting Sora from her breakfast.
"Hello?"
"Hi Sora, it's Mimi."
"Oh hey Mimi." Sora said.
"Guess what? Matt bought me the cutest little ear-" Mimi said.
"Mimi." Sora said interupting her friend.
"What?"
"Can I tell you something?" Sora asked.
"Why wouldn't you?" Mimi replied.
"Well, um I found Tai."
"What! You mean Tai, like Taichi? Ohmigod!" She said excitedly.
"Like the Tai that we knew?"
"Yes Mimi, Tai that we knew." Sora said. "I ran into him on the street
yesterday. And I'm meeting him for coffee later."
"What, you're dating Tai. Uh, I am so out of the loop anymore." Mimi
sighed.
"Mimi, it is not a date, I'm just-"
"Wait one sec Sora." Sora could hear a muffled voice in the
background, probably Matt. Sora was convinced that Matt was living over there.
"Oh it's just Sora telling me about her date with Tai." Mimi said to Matt.
"What!?" Matt yelled. There were scuffling noises and then "What?" Matt said.
"I, I found Tai." Sora stuttered.
"Oh man, are you serious. I didn't think we'd ever see him again." Matt said, obviously shocked.
"Neither did I" Sora mumbled. "Matt? Um, I gotta go, I'll call you and Mimi back. OK?"
"Sure, bye"
"Bye Matt tell Mimi I said bye." Sora sighed as she hung up. She looked up at the clock, 10:45. Sora realized she should probably leave soon. She put her dishes in the sink and went o go get some money. Sora stopped herself in front of the mirror. She'd been thinking a lot about her past since she ran into Tai. Sora looked at her reflection as if it wasn't her own. 'Man, I've changed' she thought. She'd lost her hat and gloves a long time ago. Sora still wore jeans, but her shirts were as Mimi put it 'Like, so goth'. But anymore they matched her attitude towards life. Mimi and Matt had recovered from the digital world, but Sora hadn't.
Tai had gotten there early, he hadn't been able to sleep and it showed. He looked pale and it seemed as though the coffee was the only thing keeping his head off of the table.
"Hey Sora." Tai greeted as she sat down across from him.
"Hey Tai." She smiled, and looked him. Tai had changed a lot too. He didn't wear his goggles(oh no.)or gloves anymore. And to Sora he just seemed darker, not just his clothes, but the way he acted. Sora realized that, like her Tai had not recovered from the digital world.
"Tai?" Sora asked, concern in her voice. "Did you sleep OK last night?"
"Well..." Tai thought 'Should I tell her?'. "No, I, I couldn't sleep."
"Why not Tai?"
"Because... I just couldn't, OK." Tai snapped. He could feel the tears building up, so he buried his face in his arms folded on the table. 'Oh man, I can't believe I'm having a break down in front of Sora. She's never gonna talk to me again.' He thought. The a hand touched his shoulder.
"Tai?" Sora asked gently. "Tai, it's OK." Tai looked up at Sora.
"You don't have to tell me Tai."
"I'm sorry." He apologized. "It's just..."
"I know Tai." She reassured. "We all went through a hard time, we didn't exactly have the healthiest childhood." Sora smiled at Tai and he smiled back. They talk for at least an hour, about what had been going on in those past 4 years and other unimportant stuff. Sora realized that Tai had changed. He wasn't the ambitious, loud kid she had spent all those years in the digital world with. Tai seemed broken.
