Chapter 7: The Truth…Won't Set You Free

"What? What are you talking about Sora? I swear everyone's been saying you've been acting so weird lately and…"

"Mimi just be quiet and listen to me." Sora said seriously. "We have to get out of here. Like now!"

Mimi turned her head towards the buildings. "My apartment is a couple of blocks away…"

"Let's go." Sora said before Mimi had a chance to finish dragging her alternate universe best friend along. It was weird. She remembered where Mimi used to live before she moved to America but she had lived there so long it was odd to be back. She had missed Mimi and the one fortunate thing about this alternate reality was having her back, even if she didn't remember being her best friend.

Mimi unlocked the apartment door and the two walked inside. It was funny; the place even looked the way it did before Mimi had moved away.

"Are you going to tell me what is going on now?" Mimi asked as Sora shut the door behind her. "What was that? Why did it attack me and what the heck are you talking about needing a body!"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Sora said taking a seat on the couch.

"Well I wouldn't believe a hand would come out of the ground and attack me but that just happened!"

"Mimi calm down."

"Calm down! Uh no. I've had a good life, I'm popular, I have money and usually I get my way. But tonight I was attacked by a hand coming out of the freaking ground and suddenly my life is thrown up in the air!" She shrieked.

Sora sighed. "Is that all you care about? Popularity and money? You used to care about your friends and helping others…"

"What are you talking about?" She huffed falling onto the couch. "And if one more person calls me selfish today I'm going to snap."

"Listen to me Mimi. I'm going to tell you something and you can't tell anyone. I mean anyone. That means no gossiping to your friends, no telling the whole school, no telling ANYONE."

"I can keep a secret you know." Mimi said giving her a look.

"You're going to think I'm crazy." Sora said honestly.

"Most people already think you are, remember?"

"Right…" Sora said feeling sick. This was just great, she was the town crazy. "Anyway can I trust you with this?"

"Yes Sora." Mimi huffed again turning on the couch to look at her. "Now spill."

"I screwed up." Sora whispered. "I made a stupid wish and it came true."

Mimi gave her a look. "Huh?"

Sora sighed. "Okay look I'm just going to say this. When we were young, I was 11 you were 10, we went to a place called the digital world, we were sent there from summer camp, where there was monsters trying to take over our world and the digital world. We fought together, there were eight of us. Later on four more people joined our team but that's another story. Anyway the digital world, it changed who we are. It changed our lives. You moved away to America actually because of it. You're parents freaked over the whole thing. Anyway now I'm 18 and it's been 8 years since we first went to the digital world. In the digital world we had all become close and best friends. I had become close to Tai and Matt… Anyway I always I had feelings for Tai but…it just seemed we were always friends. So when Matt asked me out I was like okay, I liked him too I really did! But then stupid Tai told me he loved me and messed everything up and I was angry. I didn't mean any of it! I loved my friendships with you and our digimon and I was just thinking irrationally. I stupidly said how I wished we had never went to the digital world because that's how me and Tai became close and it came true! I didn't mean it! Then I woke up and everything was different! None of us were friends, everyone's personalities had changed. And now the digimon are trying to get to our world! I saw a digimon trying to leave a message to me. He said the evil digimon need a body, which I think is why they attacked you. They wanted your body." She took a deep breath while Mimi stared at her with her mouth open.

"You're crazy." Was all she said and Sora felt her heart sink.

"Mimi please…"

"No that's not even possible! The digital world? We aren't in a TV show Sora this is real life. And what you just told me would put you in an insane place!" Mimi said sitting up.

Sora felt like she was going to cry. "It was stupid to tell you I knew you wouldn't believe me. I don't get why though a digimon attacked you!"

Mimi looked at her for a moment and then shook her head. "No this just isn't possible. I think you should leave." She got up and led Sora to the door.

Sora looked at Mimi before she left. Tears were falling from her eyes. "I just want you to know, you'll always be my best friend." She walked out and Mimi closed the door behind her collapsing to the ground. She put her hands on her head and stared at the ground more confused than ever.

"It's impossible..." Was all she whispered.

"KARI?" Tai screamed down the streets not caring that people were glaring at him for his constant yelling. "KARI!" He was determined to find his little sister who hadn't returned home after work. He called Davis who said she had left and should have been back already. His big brother instincts were kicking in.

"Dude why are you yelling?" Tai turned to see Matt Ishida standing there looking at him like he was crazy.

"For your information," Tai said "I'm looking for my little sister." He turned and started yelling again "KARI!"

"I don't think she's here."

"And why is that?" Tai asked annoyed turning to face him again.

"Because you're screaming and no one is responding…"

Tai huffed and turned away. "KARI!"

Matt rolled his eyes and sighed. "Whatever." And started walking away.

"Hey!" Tai yelled following him. "Don't say "Whatever" to me! I am looking for my little sister! I'm worried! That's what a good big brother does! You wouldn't understand."

Matt gave him a dark look. "You have no idea what I would understand."

"Well get a sibling and then talk to me."

Matt stared at him furious. "For your information I have a little brother." He turned and started walking again and Tai followed him continuing to talk.

"You have a brother? Since when?"

"Since he was born." Matt said still walking.

"Well my bad I wasn't aware." Tai said stopping as Matt stopped in front of a shack. "What are you doing here?"

"That's really not your business…" Matt said annoyed. He knocked on the shack's door. "Tk? Tk you there?" When he didn't get a response he opened the door.

"KARI!" Tai yelled running in as he saw his little sister lying against a blonde boy's shoulder asleep. He was also asleep sitting up with his head on the wall. "KARI!" Kari jumped at the sound of her brother's voice and blushed seeing that she had fallen asleep on Tk. Tk just brushed her off like she hadn't been there.

"Who's this?" He walked over to Tk as Kari stood up and brushed herself off. "WHO ARE YOU!"

"A guy with a headache…" Tk muttered annoyed.

"Tai stop it. It was pouring out and I fell in the rain and hurt myself…" She pointed to the scratches on her knees, "And Tk found me so he suggested we hang in here until the storm settled down and I guess I was tired and just fell asleep…"

Tai looked at her. "Do you know how worried I've been? You could have called."

"I just told you I fell asleep!" Kari said with a sigh.

Tai ignored her and turned to Matt. "Is this your brother?"

"Yes…" Matt said slowly.

"Well he needs to stay away from my sister!" Tai yelled.

Tk rolled his eyes. "Trust me I have no interest in your sister…"

"What's that supposed to mean you think you're too good for her! She's too good for you!" Tai yelled.

"TAI!" Kari yelled. "Seriously stop. Come on let's go home. I'm sure mom is waiting with dinner ready. Please." She tugged at her older brother's arm.

"Fine." He said gruffly but still glared at Tk. "I'm watching you kid." He added as Kari shot Tk a sympathetic look as she pulled her brother out of the shack.

Matt looked over at his brother as the two siblings left. "Dude what are you doing?"

"She was like losing it in the rain. I helped her out, wow people make a big deal about nothing…" Tk said annoyed.

"It's not even just that. Why are you hiding out here?" Matt asked.

"How did you know I was here?"

"I saw you come here after school one day and…"

"You were following me!" Tk yelled in fury.

"Mom asked me to keep an eye on you. I was just making sure you weren't getting into trouble. Now what are you doing here?"

Tk crossed his arms. "Look I don't want to deal with Mom or her stupid boyfriend so I camp out here sometimes."

"Tk you're fourteen you can't be leaving whenever you want."

"Who are you to judge me? You've practically lived by yourself by living with dad." Tk accused.

Matt sighed. "Look Mom worries…"

"Whatever. I'm sick of all of you making attempts too little too late. Leave me alone."

"I want to be your brother."

"And I want all of you to get away from me." Tk said stubbornly.

Matt nodded. "Okay. Well you know where to find me." He turned to leave.

"Hey Matt." Tk said and his brother turned to look at him. "Stop "keeping an eye on me".

"Who is he?"

"Tai I told you for the last time he's just some guy from school…" Kari said exhausted from her brother's questioning. They were still walking home and he was still freaking out.

"Well I don't like him!"

"You've made that clear." The sun was still setting and the sky was clear. You would never have been able to tell that it had just been down pouring. This had been a weird day.

"You're too young to be dating."

"We aren't dating! He doesn't even like me!" Kari said wishing they would just get home already. She was really done listening to this.

"Well I just think…" Tai started but Kari cut him off.

"Hey isn't that Sora?"

Tai stopped and looked to where Kari was talking about and seemed to forget about the whole Tk problem. "Yeah it is…she freaked out today during the soccer game."

"What?" Kari asked.

"Yeah in like the middle of the field she collapsed and freaked…then she ran off." He said staring at the girl.

"I hope she's okay…" Kari said with worry. "She looks upset."

"Yeah…" Tai said as the girl turned and locked eyes with Tai. They both stared at each other for a moment and then Sora turned and started to run. "Sora wait!" Tai yelled and he ran after her.

"Okay after all that I'll walk home alone!" Kari yelled rolling her eyes at her older brother.

"Sora!" Tai yelled catching up to her.

"Please go away Tai. I don't want to deal with you right now." Sora said looking upset as she stopped running away.

"What happened today?" He asked. "You screwed up the game bad."

Sora felt a tear come down her face. "Is that all you care about? Stupid soccer? Just go away."

"What's wrong with you? You've been acting so weird."

"You wouldn't understand…" She said softly trying not to full out start crying. This had been a truly awful day.

"Look I get that the team can get really stressful sometimes but you have to stick it out, you let everyone down today…" He started.

"SHUT UP!" She screamed and he looked at her shocked. "This has nothing to do with that! All you care about is soccer and yourself Tai! Leave me alone!"

"Sora…"

"No!" She yelled. "You're right. I'm crazy okay? Happy?"

"No…" He said softly.

She shrugged. "Well sorry then." She turned and walked away leaving the teenager standing there in his place.
