As the day progressed, Sora started to get better. She ate her first meal for the day that night. She said that she felt really better. Sora's mom was just glad for her daughter being better and her being able to help in the flower shop. That night, she still thought about Tai. She then concluded she really loved Tai. She decided to tell him the next day at the soccer meet.

The Next Day...

Sora's mom made Sora work a little overtime, so Sora came to the soccer meet just on time. She had no chance at talking with Tai. She tried to motion to him during halftime, but to no avail. Tai chatted with his teammates. After the meet, Sora and Tai had to go with their parents home. Sora yearned to talk to Tai. She missed his cheerful voice. Sora forgot Tai during her work at the flower shop that afternoon. At 4:00, she finally had a break. She ran to the phone and picked it up. She dialed his number (they were homework buddies so they knew each other's numbers) and she waited for someone to pick up.

"Hello?" A voice asked. It was Kari.

"Hi, Kari, it's Sora. Can I talk to Tai please?"

"Sure. Just a minute" Kari told her.

Sora heard the phone set down on a surface and Kari's voice in the background. Then she heard a hand pick up the phone. "Sora?" Tai asked.

Sora smiled. "Hi Tai. I want to talk to you, so what time is good for you?" She heard Tai making noises like hmmmm.

"How about 2:00 tomorrow? I'm free then. Meet me in front of the park."

"Okay," Sora said, "fine with me."

"Okay. Bye Sora." Tai said.

"Bye" Sora answered. She heard Tai hang up the phone. Sora hung up the phone. Sora smiled and she ran into her room. She laid down and daydreamed about Tai. A moment later, she looked out the window of her room to a cave in the forest near her house. Sora felt a little mischievous today, so she decided to go into the cave. Sora packed up some things she might need and she headed outside. She walked stealthily to avoid her mother, who was planting flowers in front of the house. Once past her mother, she ran into the cave. She took out some matches from the bag on her butt (what's that called?). She lit them and she walked through the cave. She had heard sayings that evil lurked in this cave. It didn't seem so evil to Sora. She continued on.

Moments later, she came to a dead end. Suddenly, as if out of no where, the ground erupted in front of her. She was startled and she started to step slowly away. Then Sora saw that an egg like object connected to a comma like object was what came out of the ground. She slowly reached her hand out and she grabbed the comma object. She looked at the egg and pressed the comma tightly. The comma glowed a bright gold out of no where. Sora yelped and dropped the comma. The comma continued to glow. Then she noticed something else.

The egg was hatching...
