Beep beep beep beep beep. CRASH.
Taichi Kamiya knocked the alarm clock off of the dresser, not wanting to wake up and face the
day in front of him.
"Tai! Get up! It's Valentines Day! Time for you to tell the girl who you like that you like
her!" Kari prompted him to wake up.
Tai burried his face in the pillow. He really didn't want to face today.
Kari flipped Tai's covers off, grabbed his ankles, and pulled him off of his bed, creating a
loud THUD as he hit the floor.
"Ow! Damnit!" he rolled over, glaring at her.
She just laughed, darting out of the room.
He stood up, rubbing his head. //Why did Matt push me out yesterday?// he paused as he realized
something. //Wait... I think he likes Mimi. He probably doesn't want her taken... like I'd ever
want that ditz.// Tai pondered how he was going to face today without bumping into several people
as he got dressed. He knew a few of his friends would come by just to drop off their valentines
to him like everyone does with their friends, and he knew who a few of them would be.
He began working on his hair, trying to get the bed-head look out of it, but failing, as he did
every morning. He yawned, walking out fully dressed to the kitchen for breakfast, only missing
his shoes. This V-Day fell on a Saturday, so his father wasn't at work as usual.
"'Bout time you got up!"
"Shut up." Tai mumbled as he sat down at the table, grabbing a box of cereal that Kari had
already poured out of and pouring it into his bowl, which was sitting ready for him at the table.
"I know THAT face." his father responded, pulling up a chair next to Tai and sitting on it
backwards. "Who's the lucky girl?"
"Shut up." Tai responded yet again, chweing on his cereal.
"I remember before I told her mother that I liked her that Valentines Day depressed me."
"Shut up." Tai said for a third time for lack of better words he could use without being grounded.
"Come on, you can tell me." his father prompted.
Tai sighed, looking to his dad. "Yesterday, I got this letter. Anonymous letter. It told me to
tell the girl I liked that i like her today. I'm clueless who it's from, since every good friend
of mine that's a girl was listed on there."
"So? You gonna tell Sora?"
Tai's head shot up to look at his father. "Sora? Ha! You think I like SORA?"
"Well it's only obvious. You're always hanging out with her."
Tai rolled his eyes. "I do NOT like Sora. I could NEVER like Sora."
Kari's eyes dropped to her bowl. "Then Sora's gonna get her heart broken today."
"Huh?" Tai looked up at her.
She sighed. "Listen, Tai. I know you're not supposed to know this, but I just want you to take it
out easy on Sora today. I recognized her handwriting."
THUD. Tai's head hit the table. He lifted it slowly. "I don't wanna hurt her feelings."
"Who DO you like then, Tai?" Kari asked. "Mimi? Yolei."
Tai made two buzzer noises for being wrong. He headed to the sink to rinse out his bowl.
"Matt?"
Tai dropped his bowl accidentally, causing it to shatter. "MATT? WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I LIKE
MATT?!"
"Kari, that's rediculous. Matt's another guy." their father corrected.
"Well, it's only been OBVIOUS, actually." Kari continued, ignoring their dad. "The way you two
fought was more like you two were gro-" Kari shut up as Tai had come over, slapping his hand over
her mouth. Tai didn't exactly want his dad to hear that he groped at another guy all the time
years ago.
"Like you were what, Tai?" his father asked.
"Nothing." Tai shot a death glare to Kari, who responded with a glance of apology.
"Well, Tai, I think you should go and tell the 'girl' you like that you like 'her'." Kari said,
standing up and beginning to push Tai toward the door.
"No! No way!" Tai said, getting away from her and walking off.
"So, does he like Sora and he's just denying it?" their father asked, totally oblivious.
"No." Kari responded. "And believe me, he never will." she headed back toward Tai's room, where
she knew he would be.

Tai held his alarm clock in his hand, tipping it from side to side to make an occasional dull
click as he used his other hand to support his head.
Clink clink clink.
"TAICHI YAGAMI!" Kari yelled at the doorway, causing him to drop the alarm clock in shock. His
sister was known for always being soft-spoken. And the fact that she had used his full, proper
name like his mother did when he was in trouble, shocked him. "TAICHI! YOU'RE BEING AN ASSHOLE!"
Kari yelled, not caring if their parents heard. "I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!"
Tai shook his head. "Just don't tell Matt. I don't wanna lose his friendship."
Kari laughed. For a moment, Tai despised her for laughing at a time like that. "TAI!! ARE YOU THAT
DENSE? DON'T YOU SEE THE WAY YAMATO LOOKS AT YOU? DON'T YOU SEE HOW HE GLARES AT SORA?!"
Tai paused for a second, going over what his sister had told him. Only then had he realized it. He
looked up at her. "But... he's not... is he?"
Kari shook her head. "No, I don't think he is." Tai's gaze lowered. "But I think he likes you, for
some reason, even though he's not."
Tai once again looked up at her.
"Tai, you have to tell him." Kari said, her voice now back to the normal level.
"I know... I just, can't."
"You can. If you can't, you don't deserve the Crest of Courage, and you don't deserve Agumon. Tai,
you've always been brave, so why is it so hard to use three words?"
*********~~~~~~~~~*********
Tai walked toward the door, hand almost on the knob as his dad asked him a question. "So, you're
actually gonna tell Sora?"
Tai rolled his eyes, speaking sarcastically. "Yes dad, I'm gonna tell Sora." he opened the door,
walking outside to the balcony that led down to the ground. "Idiot." he muttered as he closed the
door.

What will Matt's response be? Isn't it obvious with all the fics I've wrote? Anyway, look at how I
put it in this fic in the third... and... possibly final... I'm not sure... chapter.
