Tai stretched as he fell down on the couch, the air conditioner was smacking him in the face as he turned on the T.V.

His attention on the screen he didn't notice when his cell phone began to ring. Kari entered the room and gazed at the cell phone and then at her older brother.

"Uh, Tai, you gonna get that?"

When he didn't answer she sighed.

"How late were you out with Sora last night?"

His eyes lugged lazily over to his sister.

"Well past your bedtime."

"Don't you think that you should get in a little earlier so that way you aren't as tired?"

Tai smiled as Kari picked up his cell phone.

"It's Matt…you want me to answer it?"

Tai shook his head.

"No, let the answering machine get it."

Kari set the phone back down on the coffee table and sat on the floor next to the couch, which Tai was sprawled on.

"It's been almost a month since you got with Sora. When are you going to tell him that you two are a couple now?"

Tai scratched his nose.

"I don't know if I'll tell him Kari, I don't think it's something Matt will take lightly."

"Why shouldn't he? Sora isn't his property you know, beside, T.K. agrees with me that you really should come clean with him. It'll be worse if he finds out some other way."

Tai shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't see a reason to tell him unless he comes to Japan and screams "I'm here!". Besides why should I bow down to him? He's the one that left Sora in the first place for a stupid reason."

Kari sighed as her brother turned his attention back to the TV in front of him.

Oh Tai…you really should tell Matt, he's your best friend…

Sora bounced around her bedroom singing to her favorite song. She stopped in mid step and realized that the song she was singing to was one of Matt's songs. Her feet gave out from under her and she fell on the ground.

The song continued to play as Sora sat on the ground, dumbfounded.

"Matt…"

No matter how hard she tried she couldn't forget about him. Everything about him was still fresh in her mind even though it had been years since they had been together.

Stiffly she got to her feet.

Her red cell phone began to ring; as she picked it up she realized it was Mimi that was calling.

"Hello?"

"Hi Sora…"

"Hi Mimi."

There was a slight pause on the phone before there was an answer.

"I'm really sorry Sora! I can't believe how mean and rude I was to you when you came to America. I'm such a bitch and I'm so so sorry." Then she broke down into tears on the phone.

Sora held the phone to her ear, but she wasn't really listening.

"Can you ever forgive me Sora? We've been best friends forever and I can't believe I thought you would take Matt from me. I'm really sorry."

Sora forced a smile onto her face.

"Don't worry about it Mimi. I forgive you; you just need to realize that I would never do something like that to you."

"I realize that now. That's why I'm really sorry. Matt has been talking to me for the past few months after you left and…I really wish I didn't do all those awful things to you."

Sora shrugged her shoulders as she moved to sit on her bed, on the way she turned down the music.

"It's fine Mimi. Don't worry about it, I forgive you."

Mimi beamed on the other line.

"Thank you so much Sora. Well Matt and I are planning on coming back to Japan in a few days. I hope we can get together and go shopping, like the old days."

The color left Sora's face.

"Uh…Sora? Would that be okay?"

"Um…yeah of course it will! I'll just close up the flower shop for a few hours when you guys get here. It'll be a lot of fun to hang out with you."

Mimi smiled on the phone.

"yeah it will. We'll I'll call you when we land in Japan. Bye Sora!"

Sora shut her phone as she gazed at it in her hand. Mimi…coming here…with Matt?

"Great…this is going to be interesting."

Another one of Matt's song came over the speakers. Sora fell back so she was lying on her bed.

"Matt…what are you going to do when you find out? Will you be jealous or will you just smile and be happy for us?"

The wind blew through her short hair as she walked down the crowded street.

Tai watched her expression as they walked next to each other.

"Sora…are you all right?"

Sora bit her lip as he reached out and took her hand in his.

"You can tell me Sora."

"Tai…Mimi called me this morning and…her and Matt are coming to Japan in a few days."

Tai's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Are…you sure?"

Sora nodded her head.

"I don't know if I should be happy or upset about it. I don't know what to do anymore." Sora replied as she ran her other hand through her short hair.

Tai looked off into the distance and shook his head.

"Matt is going to hate me for a while. I should have listened to Kari and told him about us a long time ago."

Sora glanced at Tai from the corner of her eye.

"That shouldn't matter. It's not like me and him are still together. I chose to be with you and that's something he's going to have to deal with."

Tai tightened his hold on her hand.

"I know, it's just…Matt and I have been best friends forever and—I sort of feel bad about not tell him."

Sora shrugged her shoulders.

"Tai everything will be all right don't worry about it."

Sora stood on her toes and placed a quick kiss on his frozen lips.

"We'll get through this visit together, no worries."

Tai smiled at her in return.

"Yeah, we will."

Matt stretched his sore arms. The flight to Japan was really long which explained why he hated flying.

Mimi hummed as they made their way to the baggage claim.

"You're happy to be home." Matt noticed.

Mimi smiled up at him.

"Of course I am. I can't wait to see Sora and everyone else. It'll be so great to have everyone back together again. Maybe we all could go visit the Digital World."

Matt smiled at the thought.

"It would be good to see Gabumon again."

Mimi nodded her head.

"I know right? I can't wait. Let's hurry and grab a cab so we can see everyone."

Once Matt grabbed his bag Mimi had his arm and was leading him out the front door.

They made their way to the apartments. Mimi looked over to the right.

"I really should go stay with my parents, you're welcome to stay with me if you like."

Matt shook his head.

"Nah, It'd be good if I stayed with T.k. and mom. I haven't spent much time with them."

Mimi pulled on Matt's shirt to cause him to bend over. She smashed her lips on his and then pulled away, smiling.

"I'll see you in a little while then."

Matt nodded his head and watched as she walked away. Once she was out of ear shot he sighed. It was good to have some time away from her. She was a really sweet person but there were times she got on his nerves.

Knocking on the door he was surprised by how fast it opened. T.K. stood in front of him with a bowl of ramen in his hand.

"Matt? What are you doing here?"

Matt smiled at his younger brother.

"I thought it was time I come home to see how everyone was doing."

T.K. moved aside so Matt could enter the apartment.

"Mom's at work but she'll be happy to see you."

Matt set his bags down in the entry way and followed T.K. into the kitchen.

"You think so? I hope she doesn't feel put out with me coming without calling."

"C'mon Matt, you're her son, of course she's going to be happy you came home."

Matt smiled as he sat down on the seat next to T.K.

"So how are thing with you and Kari?"

T.K. swallowed a mouth full of ramen and smiled.

"We're doing really well. Although Davis is really starting to irate me. He just needs to realize that Kari is mine and he can't have her."

Matt laughed while smacking his knee.

"You need to give him a good punch in the face and I'm sure he'll realize it soon enough."

"Yeah the only problem with that is Kari would kill me." T.K. muttered as he pulled more ramen out of the bowl with his chopsticks.

Matt chuckled as he stood up and made his way to the fridge. Pulling out some milk he poured it into a plastic cup that was sitting on the counter top.

"So why isn't Mimi with you?" T.K. asked between chewing.

Matt tilted his head a little so he could look at the calendar that hung on the wall.

"She wanted to stay with her parents and I need a little break from her."

"She's already bugging you? You guys haven't been dating that long have you?"

Matt placed the cup back on the counter and walked back to where his brother was sitting.

"We've been together for what seems like an eternity. Mimi called and made up with Sora but at times it's hard for me to look at Mimi the same as I did before."

T.K. nodded his head as he pulled at his blonde hair.

"Well…I guess it's always good to get away for a little while. Do you want to go with me over to Kari's house later today?"

Matt folded his arms across his chest as he sat and thought. T.K. rolled his eyes at Matt's reaction.

"Tai would love to see you, you know that. Besides, when was the last time you talked to him?"

"On the phone last week," Matt chimed quickly, effortlessly.

"All right so it's been a whole week since you've talked. Wouldn't it be nice to see him?"

Matt sighed, "I just got home and you already want to run over to your girlfriend's house."

T.K. smiled sheepishly in response, a pink hue coming over his cheeks. Matt rolled his eyes as he slouched in the car.

"All right let's go…"

"Really? You sure you don't mind?" T.K. asked nervously, hope lining his voice.

Matt stood up from the chair and looked behind his shoulder at his younger brother.

"If I wasn't I wouldn't have said so. It'd be cool to see Tai anyway, so lets go."

T.K. beamed as he raced to follow after his brother.

As they walked down the street towards the apartment building that Tai lived in Matt couldn't help but have his memories turn back to a certain red head girl. Passing the park with a swing set his footsteps faltered.

It was just after they returned from the Digital world. Everything had seemed to fall into place as they all settled back into their normal routine. Matt began to play his harmonica as he sat on the park bench. He stopped when he heard a giggle beside him. Looking to his right he was surprised to see Sora standing there.

"You always seem to play that when you're sad about something. Do you miss the Digital world that much?"

Matt turned back to look at the harmonica in his hand.

"Never would have thought I'd miss it, huh?"

Sora shrugged her shoulders as she sat down next to him. Tilting her head back she looked up at the stars that lined the sky.

"Nah, you have a soft side to you, you after all have showed me that side."

A light red hue went across his cheeks as he recalled the time when he helped Sora out of the darkness that had plagued him just before her.

Sora looked at him from the corner of her eye. Smiling to herself she pushed a strand of her short hair behind her ear.

When Matt didn't say anything else Sora turned to face him, a smile grazing her lips. Matt glanced at her quickly but then just as quickly looked away. Sora's heart began to thump loudly in her chest as she moved her hand towards his.

When her fingers clasped over his he shot her a look. She had turned her face towards the stars.

"I'll always be here for you Matt. You—you mean a lot to me."

Matt could see the faint blush that adored her angel like face. Gently squeezing her hand he replied, "You mean a lot to me too Sora."

"Matt…hey you okay?" T.K. asked.

Matt focused his eyes on his brother, with a shaky smile he nodded.

"Yeah just got thrown down memory lane against my own will."

T.K. looked at the bench that Matt had been staring at. It probably had something to do with his past relationship with Sora.

"Uh, why did you leave her anyway?"

Matt sighed, scratching his head.

"It's a long story, one I don't really want to get into at the moment."

T.K. nodded his head in understanding as he ran to catch up to Matt's steady pace.

"Well I hope you'll be able to get over everything soon Matt. Mimi really loves you, don't you think you could love her back?"

Matt didn't speak as they rounded the last corner that led to Tai's apartment. T.K.'s words filled Matt with worry. Mimi really did care about him but for some reason he couldn't forget about Sora and everything they had had before he recklessly picked up and left her. Perhaps Sora hadn't really left his heart at all. Perhaps he was still in love with his red haired teammate. Maybe that was something that could never be changed.

A/N: Hey you guys! I'll totally understand if you guys don't follow with this story anymore. But a big thanks to everyone that is still keeping on with me even though my updates are so out there. Next chapter will be good. Still deciding how Matt should find out that Sora and Tai are together...and do not worry, this is a Sorato fan fic so they will get together!! I've been recently watching season one so I've been inspired to start writing this story again. Hope you guys continue to stick with it, thank you so so much!
