Author's Note: YAY! FINALLY! Here is the LAST chapter for Crazy for this Girl. Yes, it is supposed to be this short. Originally, it was going to be a one shot, but I felt as though I wouldn't be able to get everything through in just one chapter. I hope you enjoy reading!
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. Sadly.
It was almost seven, to be exact, it was six-thirty; Sora had arrived at the concert hall at six and was now sitting in the bar, ordering a drink. She had gotten there with Mimi, but her roommate had decided to walk around the dance floor for a little bit before the concert started. Which left Sora by her lonesome at the bar, watching young adults dance their asses off to the beat of the music that was on the speakers. She and Mimi had both bid the boys good luck when they first arrived to the hall.
"When's the show starting?" Sora sighed, asking mostly herself, but she received a few answers from the surrounding people.
She ordered herself a 'Roy Rogers' to keep herself busy while she waited for the time to pass. Sora had decided to wear her birthday necklace she had gotten from Tai, and received a few glances from the people whose eye the gem had caught. Fiddling with the pendant, Sora didn't notice her roommate come up behind her until she was right next to her.
"Geez Sora, are you deaf or something? I've been calling your name for a while now." Mimi said to her best friend.
"What? Oh! Sorry Meems, I guess I can't hear over the music." Sora shrugged, still touching the necklace.
"Music? As if the music is loud." Mimi looking at her skeptically, "I bet it's because your mind is off somewhere else."
"And where would that be?' Sora replied.
"Oh, I don't know, maybe on a certain brown-haired, chocolate eyed guitarist that gave you that necklace which you've been playing with since I got here?" Mimi chuckled, seeing her best friend's face become a few shades redder.
"S-so what if it is? I mean, it's not like you don't know I like him." Sora retorted at Mimi, grabbing the necklace protectively.
"The problem is, knowing if Tai likes you back right?" Mimi folded her arms.
"Yea, that's it." Sora mumbled, looking away from her best friend and keeping her eyes on her drink.
"I've told you countless times Sora, Tai does like you! Why won't you ever believe me?" Mimi half-yelled at her stubborn friend.
"Shhs! Do you want the whole place to find out? And how would you know? I think Tai would have asked me out a long time ago if he does like me. I just can't jump into conclusions." Sora defended herself.
"Ugh! You both are so frustrating to handle with! You have no idea on what Matt and I deal with since you two are so thick-headed!" Mimi sighed exasperated, slumping into the adjacent bar stool.
Suddenly, the lights in the concert hall dimmed and the music turned off. Mimi and Sora turned around in their chairs and fixed their gaze on the stage, knowing the show was going to start. They clapped along with the audience as the stage lights lit up and Matt came up onstage.
"Hello Odaiba!" Matt roared into the mic, receiving the yells of the audience tenfold.
He blinked and looked up at the spotlight that lit him only, the rest of his band still being in the shadows.
"Are you ready for some music!" He yelled out.
The roar of the audience was enough to tell him that meant 'yes.' Sora and Mimi looked at each other and began pushing their way through the thick crowd to get to the front. Mimi was ahead and Sora stayed as close to her best friend as possible so they wouldn't get separated.
"Meems, slow down!" Sora yelled, pushing after Mimi.
Matt swung his bass forward and cleared his throat; he set his fingers to play the first note of the song and began hitting his bass. After a few seconds of pure bass line, the crowd heard guitar fingering start off and another beam of light shone on the stage, revealing Tai. Sora and Mimi had just gotten to the front of the stage when Tai came on and all Sora could do was stare at him. He looked down and instantly spotted her and flashed her a smile before concentrating back on his playing.
"I saw that Sora." Mimi smirked, nudging her with her elbow.
"Shut up." Sora replied, blushing at the comment.
The rest of the band had started playing as well and before everyone knew it, the entire stage was lit and in full rock-out mode. Everyone was dancing—Sora and Mimi not being an exception. Melting Fire had played through an entire set list of original songs, as well as a few covers of older, but still famous songs. Sora and Mimi had gone on and off on the dance floor every few songs. What made them stop were all the men trying to hit on them while they were dancing, which made them leave with disgusted faces. Right now, they were once again by the bar, sipping on some new beverages they ordered.
"What do you think of the concert so far Sora?" Mimi asked casually.
"I think it's doing pretty good! The boys will get famous in no time for sure." Sora smiled.
"I'm sorry the concert had to be on your birthday though! We could have gone out with everyone else instead if there wasn't a concert." Mimi replied sadly.
"Meems, it's no big deal! Tai told me the exact same thing." Sora laughed at how identical her two best friends' thinking process went.
There was a moment of comfortable silence between the two friends as they rested up from all the dancing they had done earlier. Mimi took a sip from her drink and looked over at Sora, who was once again playing with Tai's necklace he gave her.
"What are you thinking about?" Mimi asked, curious.
"About that second gift Tai promised he would give me here tonight." Sora replied back smiling.
"Do you know when he's going to give it to you?" Mimi questioned.
"Not really. He just said I'd get it during the concert. Maybe afterwards, I don't know Meems." Sora sighed and stopped fidgeting with the necklace to grab her drink and look at Mimi.
"What if he had one of the waiters slip it to you during the middle of the show?" Mimi suddenly exclaimed; her eyes lost in the realm of romance.
"Meems, Tai's not that romantic. And knowing him—which I do—he would want to give it to me himself." Sora answered Mimi's question.

Sora and Mimi had decided to walk around the stadium, or attempt to squeeze through the crowd, looking for the rest of their friends that were able to make it. They had been recognized by a few classmates and conversed with them for a few minutes before excusing themselves to keep looking for other people. The two friends came across a group of people stationed at the far end of the stadium in what looked to be a circle of sofas that had been blocked off for VIPs. Peering to see who was in the crowd, they spotted two people they instantly recognized.
"Kari! Tk!" Sora yelled, waving her hands in the air, attempting to get their attention.
Kari turned around and took a few seconds before spotting the source of her name. She beamed and ran over to hug the two girls; not before letting them enter the VIP section.
"Mimi! Sora! We finally found you guys! We were wondering why you didn't come here right away." Kari squealed, happy to have found her so called older sisters.
"Yea, well, we kind of forgot this place was here." Sora said sheepishly.
"Exactly, and they didn't have the divider up when the stadium started getting packed." Mimi added to Sora's answer.
"No matter! Everyone's here now!" Tk said happily, leading the two girls into the small group.
They realized that the group consisted mainly of Digidestined, with the few exceptions of close friends of the band members. There were even a few of the younger digidestined as well. Zoey, who was a fourth generation digidestined was with her best friend Jeri, also a third generation digidestined. There was Yolei, Cody and Davis, from the second generation, who were chatting with Tommy and Ryo. Not to mention Jun, Davis's older sister who was too fond of Matt, which Mimi didn't find amusing like the others did. Mimi and Sora had just decided to sit down on one of the empty sofas and listened to Melting Fire's few last songs.
There was a loud applause as the band finished their last song. Mimi and Sora—who had been conversing with Tk and Kari the whole time—decided it was time to visit the guys back stage. They all stood up and were about to head over when Davis pointed out the band wasn't leaving the stage just yet, in fact, they were trying to calm the audience down.
"What are they doing?" Yolei whispered to the group.
"Isn't the concert over? They know they can get off-stage now right?" Davis asked.
"No Davis, they didn't know that." Zoey said sarcastically, earning herself a semi-red faced Davis.
"Hush up! Matt's going to say something!" Mimi said suddenly, waving her hand to silence the group.
"Thank you all for coming to our concert, I hope you all enjoyed it." Matt began.
"He's thanking them? He didn't have to make a speech you know." Tk criticized his brother.
"Shush up Tk!" Mimi said fiercely.
"But before the concert ends, there's one last song that needs to be performed." Matt smiled, looking around the crowd and spotting his friends immediately.
He looked as if he was about to say something, but instead, he smiled warmly and turned his head to give his attention to Tai, who looked incredibly nervous. Sora, who realized what was going to happen, had her eyes wide, her breath caught in her throat.
"Oh my goodness Sora! Tai's going to sing you a song!" Mimi squealed, followed by 'awes' from the girls and 'ooos' from the boys.
Sora tried to silence Mimi's childish behavior while trying to keep her face from turning tomato red. Tai had cleared his throat and began talking nervously, glancing from one audience member to another.
"I wrote this song for someone who's very special to me." He began, receiving 'awes' from the audience, "today is her twenty-first birthday and I wanted to give her something special to remember it since we couldn't go out with everyone because of the concert."
It was then Tai finally turned his full gaze on Sora, mesmerizing her with his warm stare.
"Sora, this is your second birthday present, I hop you'll like it." He said smiling at her.
The rest of the audience listened as the music came on, others trying to take a glimpse at Sora. Sora however, just stood there, right behind the divider ropes, never taking her eyes off Tai as he began singing the song, flashbacks of their 'adventures' together running through her head.
She rolls the window down
And she
Talks over the sound
Of the cars that pass us by
And I don't know why
But she's changed my mind
A seventeen-year old Sora rode in the passenger seat of a black Nissan Altima, the driver none other than Tai Kamiya, her best friend. They had just finished eating lunch at a small restaurant and were heading off to the pier to see the fair going on there. Sora had opened her window all the way and had her arm rested on the ledge, her head on her arm. Matt had just told her he wouldn't have been able to bring her to the fair due to band practice that day, so naturally, Tai had decided he would take her instead.
"Boy, that lunch was amazing! I'm bloated, are you?" Tai laughed, patting his dubbed 'food baby.'
Sora turned her head slightly to glance at Tai before smiling and nodding her head in agreement. She then took the arm she had her head leaning on and stuck it out the window, making a wave with it to flow with the wind.
"Sor, I don't think that's such a good idea." Tai said worried, glancing sideways at his best friend.
"Why not?" she asked him, half yelling because of the wind.
"Your arm could hit something! Sor, put your hand back inside." Tai replied.
"What if I don't want too?" she answered playfully, sticking her arm out even more.
"Sor, don't make me stop this car, please put your hand back inside." Tai threatened.
"Fine, you win. Geez Tai, I didn't know you cared so much." Sora said, smiling at Tai before setting her arm back inside and leaning on it once again.
"I always do." Tai replied softly, not catching the smile that forced its way on Sora's face.
Would you look at her
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured out
I'm crazy for this girl
I'm crazy for this girl
Mimi had gasped when she heard the chorus, and she grabbed onto Kari's shoulders. They both glanced at each other happily, Tai was confessing!
She was the one to hold me
The night
The sky fell down
And what was I thinking when
The world didn't end
Why didn't I know what I know now?
It was the night of their senior lives, Prom had been amazing for Sora. She had gone with her boyfriend Matt with a bunch of her friends. Tai had brought along this girl that had liked him for prom. They had all decided to chip in to pay for a rented limousine and were currently getting dropped off at their respective houses. It was 2:30 in the morning. Matt had told Sora he would have brought her home, but she insisted he stayed due to the fact that they had been drinking. So now it was only her and Tai in the limo since they both were the last to get dropped off, living in the same apartment building.
"Hey Sora, have you ever screamed to the city?" Tai suddenly said, breaking their comfortable silence.
Sora, who had taken a few shots was tipsy, but sane enough to think Tai was drunk. "No, are you alright Tai?"
"What do you mean Sora? I'm being serious, and judging from your face, you think I'm drunk. I have a high tolerance to alcohol, trust me. C'mere." Tai said, grabbing Sora's hand from the other side of the limo and pulling her up to the very back.
He pulled open the sunroof and stuck his head out of it. He screamed laughing—scaring Sora at first—and he pulled her up to stand next to him. It was a beautiful sight, the night sky mixing with the lighted streets of Tokyo. Sora felt the wind blow through her auburn hair, it reminded her of when she flew on Garudamon's back; instinctively, she yelled at the top of her lungs. After yelling, she looked to Tai, who was smiling at her so warmly, she thought she had melted.
Would you look at her
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured out
I'm crazy for this girl
I'm crazy for this girl
At this point of the song, Tai had once again turned to face Sora and was directly singing at her. Sora had returned from dreamland and began smiling, her eyes glistening. She had always dreamed Tai would like her, and this time, maybe she wasn't dreaming, that this was all happening.
Right now
Face to face
All my fears
Pushed aside
And right now
I'm ready to spend the rest of my life
With you
Would you look at her
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured out
I'm crazy for this girl
I'm crazy for this girl
Would you look at her
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured out
I'm crazy for this girl
I'm crazy for this girl
The song ended and the crowd went wild. Tai took off his guitar and jumped down the stage, the audience parting so he could reach Sora, who was still standing in the same spot. He came up to her and smiled at her before giving her a hug.
"Happy Birthday Sor." He whispered to her, placing his forehead to hers, caressing her face.
Sora's eyes shimmered before tears began flowing out of them. Tai, panic-stricken quickly attempted to remove them, but Sora just began laughing and put her hands over his.
"Stupid Tai. You didn't have to do all that to tell me your feelings." Sora said half laughing, half hiccupping.
"I wanted to make it special and memorable for you." Tai replied back, relieved to see she wasn't crying from any sort of sadness.
"You made people stare at me!" she continued.
"You're too beautiful not to stare at." He replied smoothly, Sora's face turning slightly pink.
"If that was my present, what was that empty space next to my necklace in the case?" she asked, curious.
"It was my necklace." Tai answered, pulling out from under his shirt a necklace similar to Sora's except it was the crest of courage in carved from a semi-transparent orange stone.
"Now we match." Tai added, grinning cheesily.
"I never imagine you'd do something like this, thank you." Sora smiled, wiping her tears away with her hand.
Tai had brought his hand so one was holding Sora under her chin, making her look up at him.
"Sora?" he asked.
"Yes Tai?" she replied, knowing what was about to happen.
"I love you." He said in the most loving way possible.
"I love you too." She replied with the same tone as their lips met in a chaste kiss, the audience and their friends cheering in the background.
