Chapter 3

Tai, Kari & the digimon reached Fujidea mall, where Tai recieved a folded up piece of paper that landed by his feet. He picked it up and opened it to see his name TAI KAMIYA written in pink, cursive letters. Tai gasped and turned to where it came from to see Biyomon, and he started at her, then the bird pointed to the real writer, Sora, who waved her fingers to him. Tai, gettin' freaked out her strange behavior, waved back, and then Chompers & Agumon fainted simultaneously.
Kari: "Well, this is gonna be one interesting day." Gatomon agrees.

Later... While the digimon stayed behind & hidden to avoid suspicion, Tai & Kari went inside to see how she's doin'. They stopped in front of a Women's Macy's (Japan has that, right?) and to Tai's surprise, Sora showed up & wrapped her arms around him.
"This is either really good or really bad." Tai said nervously. Soon he calls Kari over.
"Kari, get over here please!"
Kari: "OK, what is it?"
Tai said to her "Sis, do me a favor and get something to pry her off me, because Sora's not letting go! Don't ask, just hurry!"

Kari got the message and went to find a prying tool, which she soon found in the form of a crowbar in Ms. Takaishi's bag, just 12 meters from Tai's location. What luck! She walked hurriedly to her and asked if she can borrow it, and she reluctantly agreed. She promised to give it back when she's done. TK went after her to ask why she need the crowbar, but before Kari can answer, she hears
"Kari! Did you get a prybar or something 'cause I having a major oxygen crisis right now!" Kari told TK, "That's why!" She ran back to help her brother! And they don't even notice the crowd starin' at 'em.
Tai even uttered "I think I could taste my spleen, and I don't even know what a spleen is!"

TK asked her why Sora's huggin' him so hard, Kari explained she's been emotionally random lately, and then- Tai shouted
"KARI! MY BACK CAN SNAP, MY RIBS CAN BREAK, MY EYEBALLS CAN POP OUTTA MY SOCKETS, & MY BRAIN, WHICH I CAN NO LONGER FEEL, CAN RUPTURE ANY SECOND, AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING? PLAYING 20 QUESTIONS WITH TK! WHAT KIND OF SISTER ARE YOU?" Tai's turnin' purple from Sora's death grip.
"I'm coming, big brother!" Kari yelled as she charged to pry her hands off him.
Kari: "Wow, she's very strong!"
Tai: "I'm aware of that! Just get her off me!" Kari pulled her hands off with all her strength, then Tai begged
"Hurry up, Kari! At this rate, she'll squeeze out my stomach, my heart, my intestines, and who knows what else!"
Kari: "Too much information, Tai!" Soon Kari managed to pry Sora's arms off him, so Tai can catch his breath. Kari handed the crowbar back to TK, who took it and went on his way back to his mom.

But soon she slipped up and Tai & Kari were chokin'!
"Sora, let go, you're choking me!" Kari begged, and Sora released her, but caught Tai again!
Tai: "Here we go again!" Kari tried to pry the redhead's arms off him, but to no avail.
Tai complained "Who am I kidding? She'll lemme go by the time I'm dead!" Goodbye, cruel world!" That got her attention, as she suddenly let go, & Tai collapsed on the floor.
Tai: "Sora, why were squeezin' me like that? What are you, an anaconda?" Sora just stared romantically at him, which made him uncomfortable.
Tai: "Sora, will you staring at me like that, 'cause that lovesick look is scaring me." Tai then get back up and ... ran out the mall! Kari was surprised by this, but Sora just follwed him casually.

(lower curtain of hearts) Matt & Mimi are in the park, watched by Gabumon & Palmon. The humans are about to pass a cotton candy cart (I'd do a lollipop, but I don't think that'd be right, considerin' they're what, 15, 16 years old.), and Mimi walked ot it, while Matt waited behind. She bought a small blue cotton candy, slid back to him, and shoved it into the rock star's mouth.

(Lower curtain of hearts) Tai (with Chompers on his right shoulder), now in a good, was casually, but suddenly stopped and looked back to Sora, with her back to a wall & twinklin' her crimson eyes at him. Tai ran, skidded to turn right, ran to a nearby trash can, and crouched beside it, only to once again see Sora next to him! Tai then ran off, lookin' back to see if she's followin' him, but when he looked ahead, he saw Sora yet again (How'd she get over there so fast?)! Tai backed away through a double door, but when turned around, he freaked out & screamed at the sight of Sora makin' that lovey-dovey face at him again! He ran back inside, til he took a seat to catch his breath, and wipe some sweat off his forehead, but then saw the tennis-playin' redhead again! He's sittin' on her lap, and what's more, she leanin' her head to him to smooch him, what with her lips extended and all. Tai, still freaked out, ran away again, and when she opened her eyes, she sees Tai left again & frowns for a moment.

(Lower curtain of hearts) Matt & Mimi are now at some outdoor photo booth, as Mimi pulled back the curtain to take some photos. Outta the slot came 4 photos: Of Mimi makin' a funny face & Matt lookin' puzzled, of the twosome laughin' with glee, of Mimi makin' that sly lovey-dovey face at the blond gituar-player, and of Mimi leapin' at him outta the booth.

(Lower curtain of hearts, speed up) At a garage with an almost-ready Godzilla float, Ken, Yolei, TK, Kari, Davis, & Cody, along with Wormmon, Poromon, Patamon, Gatomon, DemiVeemon, & Upamon, were cleanin' up the place when they heard a whisper,
"Pssst, you guys." Out from the Godzilla float came Tai dressed as a Red Dragon samurai.
The gang: "Tai?" Tai: "Is the coast clear?" The humans & their digimon partners looked left & right in wonderin'.
TK: "Clear for what?"

Tai came off the float. Tai: "Sora. She's crushin' on me."
Kari: "Sora, the girl you've had a crush on since you & she were 8, is crushing, on you?"
Tai: "Yes, AND SHE'S FREAKIN' ME OUT!"
Cody: Are you sure you're not misinterpreting big time?"
Tai: "I dunno. It's not that I haven't thought about this. I mean, who hasn't? It's just that I'm-"
Davis: "Feelin' canned?"
Tai: "Oh, how I rue the day I ever chose to participate in the Odaiba Days costume party."
Kari: "You want my advice?"
Tai: "Yes, okay, sis."
Kari: "Lose the armor."
Tai: "No not yet, and if you see guys see Sora, you didn't see me, OK?"
Ken: And what if she sees us seein' you?"
Tai: "What?" He didn't like the sound of that and turned to who's behind him.
Tai: "Ahhh, Sora!"
Sora: "Tai, I have a little favor to ask."
Tai: "Sorry, I was just, uh- leaving!" He ran, and man, that boy can hustle!
Sora: "He's shy, but so cute."
Yolei & Kari: "I'd say green & freaked."
Yolei: "Jinx! You owe me a salad!

R and R, please!
