Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon.
Note: I am really really really sorry that this took me so long to get out. I have many reasons, but I don't want to bore you with endless ranting. I have a feeling that this chapter isn't going to be really great. I don't really have any ideas, but I am going to try and finish up the series in this chapter. For those of you who have forgotten, in the last chapter Sora ran away and Tai was being..uh..well...Tai. If that explanation isn't good enough, well just go back and reread the other chapter. Well I guess I'll start writing now, don't forget to review.

Summer Vacation: Chapter 6
***
Matt was just coming to, after having been out cold for half an hour. He blinked and sat up coming face to face with a worried Mimi.
"Where am I?" asked Matt noticing he was in a bed.
"Your at my house silly," replied Mimi. "You passed out at the coffee shop."
"Oh yeah," said Matt, "Stupid Tai, so, so stupid."
"Tell me about it," agreed Mimi, "I can't believe he is so clueless."
"Clueless, yep that's Tai," joked Matt, "If you look it up in the dictionary you'll see Tai's picture right next to it."
Mimi laughed, "That's not very nice Matt."
"Then why are you laughing?" chuckled Matt.
Mimi smacked him over the head with a pillow, "Shut up you," she said playfully.
Matt retaliated by pulling her onto the bed beside him and smothering her face with a pillow. "What was that," he said laughing as she pretended to struggle.
Mimi escaped from Matt's hold and sat up eyeing him evilly. "Now you die," she stated and tackled him back onto the mattress.
The two wrestled around for a few minutes until Mimi finally got the upper hand and pinned Matt to the mattress by sitting on his stomach and holding his arms above his head.
"Ha, I got you," teased Mimi.
Matt smiled, "So what are you gonna do with me."
"This," said Mimi leaning down and kissing Matt's lips.
Matt sat there stunned for a minute, 'O my god she is kissing me,' he thought. Before he knew what he was doing he was kissing her back. He wrapped his arms around her and drew her close to him.
***
Tai was pacing back in forth in his room thinking to himself. He was trying to understand what Kari had spent the last twenty minutes attempting to explain to him. 'So Sora likes me,' thought Tai. He was overjoyed, he couldn't believe the one he loved and cherished felt the same way about him. Suddenly what everyone had been trying to explain hit him. 'O my god,' he thought, 'Sora loves me, but she thinks I just want to be friends.' He jumped up and ran to Matt's room. When he burst through the door the last thing he expected to see was Matt and Mimi making out on Matt's bed. Matt and Mimi jumped up blushing.
"Uh...sorry," said Tai turning to leave, "I'll leave you two alone."
"No, its okay Tai um.. Matt was just showing me um...," Mimi looked at Matt not knowing what to say.
"How to properly stretch her back," said Matt nervously, "I noticed that she wasn't stretching right so I thought I'd show her.
"Uhuh, whatever you say," said Tai sarcastically, not believing a word. "Anyway, I am going to look for Sora, you guys stay here in case she comes back. I'll be back in a few hours."
Before Matt or Mimi could answer Tai had turned and ran out of the room.
Matt looked at Mimi and smiled, "Well that was strange."
"The kiss?" Mimi asked giving Matt a funny look.
"Wha..no, god no..I mean Tai, he uh.. seems to be catching up," stuttered Matt.
Mimi giggled, "Let's go find everyone."
"Okay," answered Matt and followed Mimi to find the rest of their friends.
***
(Jumping back in time a little here to when Sora climbed out the bathroom window)
Sora ran down the street in the direction she thought was towards Mimi's house. She was crying as she ran and after making a few turns and running down a couple blocks, she realized she wasn't heading towards Mimi's. 'O great,' thought Sora, 'now I am lost.' She turned around and decided to head back to the coffee shop. As Sora retraced her steps she realized that she didn't even know how to get back to the coffee shop. Her eyes watered and she started to cry again. As she wandered around she began to remember different story's she had seen on the News the night before about people being killed. Sora began to get scared and decided to find some where to stop and rest. As she rounded the corner she saw a small park across the street. She decided it was good enough and ran over to it. Sora spotted a small bench and sat down. She started to cry again and pulled her legs up against her body. 'Where are you Tai,' she thought, 'I need you.'
***
(Okay back to regular time now 11:30p.m.)
Tai ran out Mimi's front door and bolted down the street towards the coffee shop. He didn't know where he was going to start looking, but he figured the coffee shop was a good place to start. He reached the coffee shop and stopped to catch his breath. 'Now where could she have gone,' he thought as he looked around. He picked a direction and ran. Tai spent the next twenty minutes turning corners and searching until he couldn't run anymore. He spotted a small park across the street and decided to stop and rest. 'God this is all my fault,' thought Tai as he waited for a chance to cross the street, 'I am so sorry Sora, I promise I'll find you.' He finally saw an opening and ran across the street. As he neared the entrance to the park he thought he heard a faint whimpering. He spotted a figure huddled up on the bench and wondered who would be out at this hour. As Tai approached the bench he judged by a figure that it was a young woman. He walked closer and decided to say something.
"Are you okay miss?" he asked in the most concerned voice he could muster.
There was no response and he leaned down to get a closer look at the peculiar woman. As he got close he realized who the woman was and jumped back in shock. 'O my god that's Sora,' thought Tai. He slowly inched his way back over to her and got down on his knees beside the bench. As he looked closely at her face he realized that she was asleep. 'Poor girl,' he thought, 'she must be exhausted, first she gets sick and then she runs away.' Tai put his arms around her and gently lifted her off the bench. Sora was so tired from running and crying that she didn't awaken. Tai walked out of the park and began to retrace his steps towards Mimi's house. Half an hour later he was finally back at the coffee shop. He stopped to rest a second and then headed down the street towards Mimi's. When Tai reached Mimi's home he walked up to the front door and kicked it with his foot. A few seconds later the door flew open and a very worried Mimi appeared.
"O my god Tai, what happened?" she asked.
"Nothing Mimi, I found her asleep in a park," responded Tai.
"Thank god," sighed Mimi.
"I am going to go put her in bed," said Tai. "I'll be back down in a second."
"Okay," said Mimi.
Tai walked inside and carried Sora past the rest of his friends, who were sitting in the living room, and up the stairs.
"Oh they are cute," exclaimed Kari after Tai had gone up the stairs.
"I am glad she's okay," said T.K. "At least we can all stop worrying now."
"I wish," said Kari, "now we have to worry about what Tai is going to do when she wakes up."
"I think he will be fine," said Matt, "when he walked in on Mimi and I this morning he sounded like he knew what he was doing for once."
"Uhh..okay," responded T.K.," but what do you mean walked in on you and Mimi?"
Matt turned dark red and cursed himself, "Uh...I didn't mean anything."
Mimi who had heard their little conversation from the kitchen walked in with a big smile on her face.
"What was that again Matt"?" questioned Mimi. "You say it didn't mean anything."
Matt froze, he glanced at his friends and then back at Mimi and then down at the floor. He was about to open his mouth to speak when Mimi sat down on his lap and planted a kiss on his lips. Everyone cracked up laughing and Matt blushed.
"Well I guess it wasn't supposed to be a secret then," stated Matt.
"Nope," giggled Mimi kissing him again.
This time Matt was ready and he pulled her close to him and brought her into a passionate kiss.
Izzy gagged, "Geeze, get a room you two."
"Don't mind if I do," joked Matt picking up Mimi and pretending to carry her up the stairs.
Mimi laughed when he turned back to the living room, "I thought you were serious for a second."
Matt blushed dark red and Mimi laughed even harder.
"I was just kidding sweaty," giggled Mimi giving Matt a peck on the cheek.
Everybody laughed and Matt sat back down still holding Mimi in his lap.
***
(Meanwhile in Sora's room)
Tai reached Sora's room and gently laid her on her bed. He smiled to himself and reached down to Sora's feet to remove her shoes.
"Your beautiful even when you sleep," he whispered as he removed her shoes and socks.
After he was finished Tai lifted he legs and laid Sora beneath her covers. After he was finished he moved back to her face. Tai gently brushed the hair of her face and let his fingers run through her hair.
"I'm so sorry Sora," Tai whispered kneeling down beside her pillow, "I didn't realize that you had any feeling for me and I made you think that I didn't want to be anything more than friend. When the actually truth was that I loved you more than anything on this earth. You complete me Sora, you are the only girl I could ever love. Your beautiful crimson eyes make my knees weak every time you are around me. I even loved that silly hat you used to wear in the digiworld. I love the way you make me laugh and when you cheer me up when I am down. I love how anytime one of us has a problem you are the first person to help. Your kind and caring nature brings us through any problems we face. I guess that's why you got the crest of love, because you love every one of us. Of course I never imagined that you would ever love me. That's why I tried to hide the feelings I had for you. I didn't want my feeling to hurt our friendship and I thought that if I just kept them bottled up we could be friends forever and I would never have to face rejection. I guess I am just a coward. I could never understand why I got the crest of courage, I know that I was supposed to be some kind of leader. Yet I always knew that the only reason everyone let me make the decisions was because I was too stubborn to listen to any other suggestions. I was a bad leader, and now I've been a bad friend. I love you so much, but somehow I have only managed to hurt you. I don't really know what to do. Should I tell you, or would you be better of without me? I do not even know what is going on anymore, all that I know is that I love you more than life itself and will love you till the day I die."
Tai was in tears by the time he finished his little speech. He stood up and was about to leave when a hand grabbed his arm and pulled him back. Tai turned to see Sora looking up at him. She was crying, but she was also smiling.
"Sora...your awake," Tai choked.
"Yep," replied Sora.
"How..long..uh..have you been awake?" Tai asked nervously.
"Long enough," said Sora. "And I have some things I need to straiten out."
Tai opened his mouth to speak, but Sora cut him off.
"Don't say anything, just let me say what I have to say," said Sora. "Tai you mean more to me then anything that I can think of. I act as if you are my best friend, but you are so much more. Perhaps it is my fault that you never shared your feeling with me because I never shared mine with you. But I won't let you say that you are a coward. I don't know what you have been thinking all these years, but if you think that the only reason we let you make the decisions was because you were stubborn. Well you are terribly mistaken. Tai the reason we never protested you decisions was because we were too afraid to make them ourselves. Think about it, the decisions that you made determined life or death. The reason you got the badge of courage was because you handled those situations so well. Whenever we were in trouble you always had a plan, and you brought us safely through them. We all looked up to you Tai; we couldn't even begin to imagine how hard it was for you to make those decisions. You were our leader, you were our protector and don't you ever think otherwise. I guess that after all those years my deep feeling for you went from best friend to lover. I began to notice how cute you were, your wild crazy hair that you still have now. Your funny goggles that you always used to wear. Yet most of all I noticed how kind and caring you were. Any time that I was upset or sad you where always the one to cheer me up with a silly joke. You helped me through so many problems that I cannot even begin to count them. I love you Tai with all of my heart and I always will."
As Sora's words passed through Tai's ears he stared at her unsure of weather or not he was dreaming. His thoughts were interrupted when she pulled him down and kissed his lips. He responded kissing her back and wrapping his arms around her. As they kissed Sora began to cry again and Tai pulled back.
"Is something wrong?" he asked worried.
"No Tai, nothings wrong," responded Sora. "It's just that I have dreamed of this moment for so long and now that it is happening I never want it to end."
Tai laid on the bed next to Sora.
"It will never end Sora," he said wrapping his arms around her again, "because I will always be here. Whenever you need me, I'll be there. I love you."
"Oh Tai," she whimpered and buried her head in his chest, "Don't ever let me go."
"I won't Sora, I won't," Tai replied running his fingers through her hair and then moving down to rub her back.
The two fell asleep in each other's arms, exhausted not only from physical, but emotional exhaustion. Both their dreams had been answered; their two separate hearts had become one. They would never have to be alone again; they would never have to worry if the other loved them. Because deep down inside they both knew that there love for each other would never die.
Destined lovers may never be separated. Their paths are different, but their destination is the same. They will always end up together and no force on earth can separate them. True love never dies.
