The time was a 7:30, Tai walked back and forth frantically, mumbling words that didn't seem to make any sense. Atleast not to Kari, who was getting dizzy watching Tai.
"Tai! Stop it please…" Kari pleaded.
"What? Oh sorry…" Tai began…
"Tai, what's wrong? You're worrying me," Kari explained.
"I'm sorry, I'm just…" Tai trailed off...
"Nervous?" Kari suggested.
Tai remained silent, he stood there in the hallway with his head hanging low.
"Tai, I know about the dare," Kari said out of the blue.
Tai's eyes widened and he turned his head around and faced Kari. "How did you know?"
"Well when TK thought he hung of on me, he actually didn't…I overheard it ALL," Kari explained.
"I…I don't know what came over me…GOD! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME? HOW COULD I BE SO DAMN STUPID!?!" Tai screamed…
"Tai, everything's going to be okay in the end," Kari reassured Tai.
"I need to call Matt…" Tai said and headed into his room to call Matt.
Tai held up the phone was he waited for Matt to answer…
"Hello?"
"Matt? It's Tai,"
"Hey! So are you ready?"
"I CAN'T DO THIS!!!!"
"What the hell are you talking about? You're acting like you're going to kill someone tonight,"
"Well I feel like an asshole anyways…"
"She isn't going to find out!"
Tai sighed. "Fine, talk to you later,"
"Good luck,"
Tai hung up the phone; he left his room and then went off to o pick up Sora for their "date."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tai and Sora were at the city field, watching a soccer game.
"And I thought kids would be able to play better later on…" Tai said.
"Aww, come on Tai. They're not THAT bad…" Sora said.
"THAT bad, keyword THAT," Tai smiled.
"Hey remember when I joined your team back in fourth grade?" Sora asked Tai.
"Of course I do! I thought you were just some girl…" Tai began…
"SOMEGIRL?" Sora said.
"But you're not!" Tai said quickly.
Sora remained silent.
"You're nice, caring, sweet, smart, a good friend and you're beautiful too…" Tai said. "Whoa…am I aware of what I just said? Do I like Sora?!?!" Tai thought.
"You really think so?" Sora asked quietly.
"yes, I do…" Tai said. "I do like Sora…" Tai thought.
Sora looked into Tai's big, brown eyes, she just looked at them without saying a single word.
"Did I do something?" Tai asks with out a clue.
Sora just kept on looking at Tai…
Tai then began to look back at her…
Sora leaned in forward…
Tai followed her actions…
And with that they shared their very first kiss.
The very next day…
Tai was extremely perky the very next morning, for he had forgotten all about the little dare, until Matt….
"Hey Tai!" Matt called.
"Hey Matt!" Tai called back.
"So how did it go?" Matt asked.
"The date? It went great," Tai said smiling.
"That's good to know," Matt said.
"OH SHIT!" Tai yelled.
"What?!?" Matt asked.
"I forgot that it was all a game…" Tai explained.
"WHAT?! How can you forget that it was all a game?" Matt asked Tai.
"I don't know I was caught up with the moment…" Tai trailed off…
"So what did you do?" Matt asked Tai, raising an eyebrow.
"I kissed her," Tai said.
"WAY TO GO TAI!" Matt yelled and patted Tai on the back.
"Don't congratulate me! It was all just a game, the feelings, the date and that would mean the kiss…" Tai said.
"No it wasn't. You didn't remember about the game so it was real," Matt explained, trying to calm down Tai.
"But the thing is, it IS a game. It was all a dare! The feelings were a game, the date was a game, and everything I did on that date was a game. Nothing in that date was real, I'm a lying, prideful bastard. I was the person who played the game and Sora was my game piece…" Tai said.
Matt just looked speechless…
"Matt? Matt what's wrong?" Tai asked.
Matt pointed behind Tai, when he turned around he found SORA!
"Shit…" Tai mumbled.
