Disclaimer- I don't own Digimon or other things I might mention in this story. I'm too lazy to name them all.
A/n: In this chapter (and many others to come) Tai with be paired with an OC named Mika. So basically the couples go as Sorato, TaiOC, and Mimi/Michael... there may be some Takari too but it won't come until later.
::Chapter 6- Plane Rides and Check-In's::
Tai sat in his plane seat next to Matt clutching onto the bag in his lap tightly. His knees began to shake nervously as the pilot informed them that they were ready for take off. Matt sighed in relief that they were finally leaving but then he looked at his friend who was still shaking greatly.
"Tai, are you okay?" Matt wondered as he pulled his CD player out of his carry-on bag.
"Oh yeah... I'm just dandy..." Tai said beginning to sweat bullets as the plane began moving, "Sweet Lord... yeah, I'll be just fine!"
"You're scared of airplanes, aren't you?"
"No, of course not!"
The plane then took off into the air and Tai jumped up out of his seat and threw himself against the window. Matt began shouting at him to sit back down because he was the one near the window seat, not Tai. Tai watched as the ground slowly disappeared beneath them. He then flew back into his seat and clutched onto the arm rests breathing heavily and began talking to himself like a nut case.
"I'm going to die... oh my God I'm going to die!" He mumbled, "This is just like that movie 'Final Destination'... MATT! Do you have psychic visions!? Is the plane going to crash!? Am I going to die!? Tell my parents and Kari that I love them... and tell Sora I love her too... like a sister... oh, and tell Mimi that I think she's hot and I want to bone her, badly. You're a great friend, Matt! Dear God, I need a cigarette!"
"Tai, y-you don't smoke."
"I think I should start..."
"Tai, you need to calm yourself down. You're starting to scare the other passengers."
"Planes, man! They freak me out!"
"No, really!? Listen, take a deep breath and then let it all out. Say to yourself 'I'm going to be fine. I have a better chace of getting hit by lightning than I do of getting in a plane crash'."
Tai's eyes became as wide as saucer's as her threw himself on top of Matt and looked out the window again. He saw a dark cloud VERY far away and freaked out again.
"Did I mention I'm scared of lightning and thunderstorms too!?"
"God, you're a damn pussy! Get over it already!"
"Sora is usually over at my house when there's a thunderstorm. We cuddle together under a blanket and sip hot chocolate in my basement as we watch a movie... those were such great times..."
"Shit, Tai. What aren't you scared of? Bunnies?"
"Bunnies equals claws... and sharp teeth and-"
"Shut up, Tai! You are such a girl! Have fun by yourself for a while, I'm going to listen to my CD player," Matt said as he put his headphones on, "Go to sleep or something. It's a fourteen hour flight."
"Fourteen hours on a plane... ahh..."
"Hi there, I don't mean to interrupt or anything but are you going to be all right? I was sitting over there and I noticed you were, well, freaking out," a girl with board-straight blonde hair and light green eyes asked crouching next to Tai's seat in the isle.
Tai looked her up and down and liked what he saw. She had on a short blue jean mini-skirt and a light pink tank top that showed A LOT of cleavage.
"Scared? Me? No way!" Tai said cooly as he calmed down.
"Oh... well I thought it was kind of cute to tell you the truth. But I guess that sense you're not scared..." the girl said as she began to get up.
"Wait, wait! I guess I am KIND OF scared..."
The girl smiled and kneeled back down, "My name is Mika. What about you?"
"Tai, it's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too. Where are you heading?" Mika (19) wondered.
"My friend and I are going to America."
Mika laughed, "Well, duh! I know that... What part of America are you going to?"
"Destin, Florida."
"Really!? No way!"
"Yes way!"
"Oh my God, I live there!"
"For real!?"
"Yeah! I was in Japan visiting my best friend, Kako. She moved out here about seven months ago and I got to come visit her for a couple weeks! I love your country!"
"That's awesome! I- well, WE," Tai said pointing to Matt whom had his eyes closed, "We're going to see my best friend Sora. Her best friend Mimi came out and got her from New York so they could go to Florida together for Spring Break. My friend here is in love with Sora but he won't admit it so we're going to stalk her and make sure she doesn't hook up with any other guys while she's away."
"Wow... that sounds like a lot of fun."
"Ma'am, I have to ask you to go back to your seat please. You're blocking the isle from other people who need to get through to use the cubicles," a flight attendant told Mika.
"Okay..." Mika replied, "I'm kind of sitting by myself back there... would you care to join me, Tai?"
"Hmm... I dunno... I'll have to think about that," Tai said as he looked over Matt who still had his eyes closed, "Of course I'll join you!"
"Great! I could use the company!"
Tai grabbed his carry-on bag and forgot all about the fact that he was scared of planes. He followed Mika back to where she sat and the two began carrying on a conversation.
Matt opened his eyes and rolled them when Tai left, "Pervert," He mumbled as he fell asleep.
::10 hours later::
"I love Japan!" Mika moaned as Tai kissed her neck inside one of the tiny bathroom stalls.
"So do I!" Tai said between kisses as he sat her up on the sink and the two began making out.
Matt was sitting in his seat minding his own business when he heard the commotion coming from the bathroom. He called a flight attendant over to him.
"Yes sir? How can I help you?" The woman asked.
"Yeah, um, I'm hearing some really uncalled for noises coming from the bathroom and I was just wondering if you could break up whatever's going on in there," Matt said.
"Don't worry, sir. I will take care of it. You enjoy the rest of your ride."
"Thank you so very much. You are very helpful."
The woman smiled and made her way to the back of the plane. She heard the noises Matt was talking about and knocked on the door but recieved no answer.
"It's so big!" Mika said from inside.
"It's coming out! I can feel it!" Tai said and then there were more moaning noises.
"Tai, it's not going to fit!"
"The hole's not that small! I'll make it fit!"
Mika started to scream, loudly, and the flight attendant knocked again.
"I'm almost done!" Tai shouted.
"You need to exit the bathroom right now, both of you! The captain has ordered the fasten seat belts sign!"
"HOLD ON!"
"NOW YOUNG MAN!"
"GO AWAY!"
"I'M GETTING SECURITY!"
By now the entire plane was listening to what was going on. Matt smirked at the fight scene and started laughing to himself. The flight attendant then walked to the front of the plane and disappeared just as Tai and Mika exited the bathroom. Older men and women were making comments like "Kids these days" and "Wait until after the plane ride, jackass". Actually, that last comment was made by Matt.
"I don't want to talk about it," Tai said sitting down and turning bright red.
"So um... you're too big for her huh?" Matt said and then started cracking up.
"Leave me alone!"
"You sure she wasn't a virgin before you corrupted her, 'Big Boy'!? I guess you just like those older women with more experience."
Tai's head fell and he sweat dropped as other people that heard their conversation laughed at the comment Matt made.
::4 hours later::
"Please exit the plane to the left and we hope you enjoyed your flight!" The pilot spoke over the intercom as it was time for everyone to get off.
"FINALLY! Solid ground!" Tai said jumping off the plane and kissing the ground in relief. Mika laughed at him because she thought everything he did was cute.
"Do you guys have a ride to where ever you're going?" Mika asked as they stood in the airport. She and Tai were now holding hands (can we say 'PLAYER'!?).
"Shit! God, no, we don't," Matt said mentally kicking himself for forgetting a ride, "They don't have taxi's in Florida, do they?"
"No..." Mika replied, "I can give you a ride if you want. My dad's limo is going to pick me up and I'm sure I could bring you where ever."
"I love this woman!" Tai said kissing her and making her laugh again.
"All right! Come on!" Mika said as they got their luggage and made their way to the limo.
::
"I see the ocean!" Tai said looking out the window, "I love this place!"
"Honey, we're on the coast," Mika laughed relaxing and sipping on a beer.
"Yeah, the ocean dumbass," Matt commented stupidly.
"The ocean?" Tai asked raising an eyebrow in confusion.
"I mean the coast."
"Who's the dumbass now?"
"Shut up," Matt replied, "Mika, can I smoke in here or would your dad freak."
"Naw, go ahead. That's what we have ash trays for," Mika replied opening one of the side of the car.
"Thank God!" Matt said pulling one out and lighting up.
"You know that's going to kill you sooner or later," Tai commented.
"I know! My God, why does everyone keep telling me that!?" Matt said.
"Who else other than your dad has said that?"
"Sora."
"Awe! She cares!"
"Whatever."
"Wow, is this where we're staying!?" Tai asked looking out the window and seeing a huge hotel that was nicely decorated and secluded in a small community, "This place is huge!"
"Isn't it cute? My daddy owns it," Mika said as they got out of the limo.
"Not uh, really?" Matt asked.
"Yeah! He owns a bunch of hotels like this in the area."
"You're hot, smart, funny, and your dad owns a hotel! Is there anything about you that's not perfect?" Tai asked.
"Ah, get to know me better and you'll see," Mika replied seductively as they kissed.
"Damn it, get a freakin room," Matt said grabbing his stuff and heading inside the hotel.
Mika wrote her number on Tai's hand and quickly kissed him, "Call me later and we'll hang out."
"Will do," Tai said sneaking in one last kiss.
"Bye sweetie! Tell Matt I'll see you guys later."
"Bye babe!"
Tai walked inside the hotel and found Matt talking to the man behind the front desk.
"I rented a room. My name is Yamato Ishida," Matt said as the man checked the reservations in the computer.
"Ah yes, Mr. Ishida. Your room is 307, I hope you enjoy your stay. If you have any questions or need anything room service is availible all hours of the day except Sunday," the man said and handed both Matt and Tai a key card.
"Can I ask what room Mimi Tachikawa and her friends are staying in?"
"Ms. Tachikawa is one of our top V.I.P's. Her parents pay a lot of money to give her everything she wants. Are the two of you friends of hers?"
"Yeah."
"She's staying in room 502. Would you like me to tell her you were asking about her?"
"No! No... Just pretend like we were never asking about it. As a matter of fact, don't even mention that we are here. Come on Tai..."
"We are so going to get caught," Tai whispered as they walked away.
"No we're not. We can wear hats and sunglasses when we're near them and they won't recognize us," Matt replied just as the two heard a familiar voice coming through the front doors.
"I seriously can't believe that you made me come all the way back here just to get a bottle of tanning oil!" Sora complained as she and Mimi entered the front doors wearing bikini's and a pair of booty shorts.
"My tan won't work without that tanning oil!" Mimi replied.
"You could have bought some at the beach."
"They didn't have the kind I use. I don't like using the stuff that makes you smell like rotten eggs."
"Meems, they all do that."
"Not mine."
"Ugh, you are so difficult."
"I know... but that's why you love me!" Mimi said flashing her a smile. Sora smiled and laughed about it.
"Shit!" Matt said tackling Tai behind a couch in the lounge. The man behind the desk arched an eyebrow totally confused at what was going on.
"Hello Ms. Mimi, Ms. Sora," the man said greeting the two girls.
"Hey Tommy! You're lookin' good today," Mimi flirted just as the two got on the elevator.
Tai and Matt popped their heads out from behind the couch to recieve another confused glance from the man behind the desk. "That was close," they both said standing up and brushing themselves off.
"Can we go to our room now and get settled in before we get caught?" Tai asked as they headed to the elevator, "I'm starving."
"Is your stomach all you ever think about?" Matt asked pushing the button for the 3rd floor.
"Well sorry but I'm hungry! It's not my fault the plane food is gross."
"Yeah but you still ate it! Besides, this room has a kitchen so we need to go to the grocery store and get some supplies for the week."
"As long as it's edible."
Matt rolled his eyes as the elevator dinged and they stepped off onto their floor. They found their room and put the card in the lock. The door opened and the two were in awe.
"Wow... this is really, really nice," Tai said admiring the nicely decorated living room and kitchen.
"For $2000 out of my pocket it better be nice," Matt said as they walked inside and threw their bags on the ground.
"I wonder if there's any food left from the last people that came here..." Tai said to himself as he went and looked through the fridge while Matt checked out the rest of the room.
Matt found himself in the master bedroom which consisted of a big screen TV and DVD player with many assortments of DVD'S, a king sized bed, two nightstands with lamps on them, a large, walk-in closet, and a small couch in the corner with a foot rest. There was also a porch outside that you could walk onto to look at the bay. Matt walked back out into the living room where there were two couch, a TV and entertainment center with a DVD player, playstation 2, and VHS, two lamp stands near the couches, a coffee table with a glass top and costers, there was a dining room table near the kitchen and another bedroom that Tai would be sleeping in. Matt glanced over and saw Tai eating something from the fridge.
"Tai, oh my God, that's disgusting!" Matt commented making a queasy face.
"Huh?" Tai askes sticking another spoonful of ice cream in his mouth.
"You don't know how long that's been there!"
"It's ice cream! Any germs or whatever were frozen off and besides, ice cream doesn't go bad."
"That's gross."
"But it tastes good," Tai said with a smile, "So when does the stalking expedition begin?"
"We're not stalking. And it begins after we go shopping."
"Let's get going then!"
"We don't have transportation."
"Oh... call a rental place and get a car."
"Do I look like I'm made of damn money!?"
Tai looked at Matt's choice of outfit: a nice collared shirt from Abercrombie and Fitch, nice cargo jean shorts, and a pair of $100 flip-flops on his feet. (A&F I don't own it!).
"Yeah, actually you do look like you're made of money," Tai said.
"Fine, I'll get a car. But don't expect it to be a Farrari," Matt replied getting the white pages and looking up a car dealership.
"Get a Mustang," Tai said.
"Why?"
"That way we can look pimp in our convertible."
"Whatever."
Matt called the dealership and pre-ordered the car. They were stuck there until the man could drive it over to them so they just had to find ways to entertain themselves.
"I guess we should go check out the village because the guy said it would be a couple of hours before they could get the car here," Matt said hanging up the phone.
"Let's go swimming," Tai suggested.
"Good idea! I could use a swim."
"Let's go!"
