~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yamato took one look at the crowd of Press and people at the Airport waiting for him, like a pack of hungry wolves waiting for their meal, and he turned a sickly green.
Bending down to one of his *people* he said in a low tone, "When we get down there, I want you to destract them to I can make a run for it, okay? I'll take a cav back to the hotel amd meet you guys there."
"Hey, don't leave me to the wolves," Warren complained.
As the plane landed, Yamato started getting desperate, "Okay, I'll give you a 50% raise, but you have got to get them off of my trail."
Smiling, Warren said, "Deal."
The plane landed and the doors were open to the first class customers. Yamato walked towards the door and put on his sunglasses as he pulled his stylish jacket closer around himself to hide his face. He walked down the Airport runway and hid there until Warren made his entrance. Warren walked out onto the runway and with a loud scream fell down and started cxhoking and gagging as spit went out of his mouth. Whispering a silent, "Thank you," the famous superstar quickly rushed out of the runway and ran until he was far awy. Seating himself down on a bench by the Inside fountain of the Airport Matt gave himself an inward pat on the back for his hsty retreat.
Soon, however, he noticed that he wasn't the only one there. Turning his face to the left his breath caught in his throat at the magnificent image of a girl. The young woman was sitting tiredly a few feet to his left looking around the ariport. Her short, red hair framed her small, delicate face with large, crimson eyes that burned. She wore a white, flower sundress that hugged her figure and waist until it spun out at the end near her knees. A big basket full of all kinds of wrapped roses were in her hands.
Matt felt his heart take a leap and he seemed to forget how to breathe for awhile. *Is this what they call love at first sight?* he wondered briefly. Sora felt a prickling at her neck and the feeling that someone was watching her so she turnedaround, annoyed to see a boy staring openly at her. The guy seemed cute enough with his neatly combed blond hair. There was something familiar about him though, but Sora was too tired to try and remember. Her feet were killing her for spending 3 hours walking around the airport trying to get people to buy the flowers. She would rather do this, though, then stay at the Flower shop...it had to amny horrible memories.
"Yes?" she asked pointedly, shaking Matt from his thoughts.
"Um...I...you're very pretty," Matt said helplessly and immediatly hit himself on the back of the head. *Very pretty...oh...real slick Ishida....she's gonna be falling at your feet in not time....* his mind said sarcatiscally.
Rolling her amazing crimson eyes, the girl said in an irritated tone, "Take a picture, it'll last longer."
At her irritaed tone, Matt immediatly took offense, "Sheesh, what's your problem? I was just paying you a compliment."
Sora felt guilt rush over her. What had come over her? *He was just trying to be nice and I snap his head off....* She wasn't like this.
Sighing, she tried to apologize, "I'm sorry for snapping at you, but I'm very tired right now, okay? I've been walking for hours around this stupid airport trying to get people to buy my flowers. My feet are killing me right now and you seemed like an easy victim for my untrained tongue."
Giving the girl a heart-melting smile, Yamato said, his eyes sparkling, "I'll buy a dozen red roses, jow much?"
Staring at him stunned, Sora didn't know what to think. Then, a slow smile spread across her face, making it even more beautiful then before. Pulling 12 red roses from her basket she handed it to him and said, "That'll be 50 yen."
Looking at her, Matt turned a slight pink, "Um...I only have American dollars."
"It's okay, then it'll be 20 dollars," she said easily as she handed him the flowers and he handed her the money.
Taking the roses, Matt moved closer so that he sat beside her and asked, "So what's your name?"
Smiling warmly at him, she answered, "Birdie."
"Birdie, that's a strange name," he said with a comical expression causing Sora to burst out laughing.
"Whatever, what's your name, then?" she laughed.
Forgetting he was in disguise for a moment, Matt unconciously took off his sunglasses and said in a fake accent, " The name's Ishida, Matt Ishida."
Sucking in her breath, Sora looked into his dark blue eyes and cursed herself for not remembering him sooner.
"Matt Ishida as in the-" she began, but he interrupted, "Famous American star, yeah, that's me." *No, you idiot, I meant Matt Ishida as in the digidestined,* Sora thought pitifully. How could she have forgotten what he looked like? She couldn't forget his face...or all the others' faces. Memories washed over Sora and she felt anger bite her mercilessly...
#######Flashback#######
An 18-year-old Sora sat beside the phone, tears streaming down her face. She had just returned home from her mother's funeral and looking around her house, it felt so empty, so lonely. *I'll have to sell this house...I just can't live her anymore* she thought. Suddenly, the full realization hit her...she was alone...all alone...her mother was dead...and she was alone.
Starting to hypervenalate her thoughts raced, *I'm alone...there's no one left....no one there...wait!...yes...there is...the other didgidestined...my friends...Tai...Matt...Mimi...Joe... Izzy...Kari...T.K...even the younger digidestined...they are all my friends...they'll stick by me...*
Picking up her phone book, the first name she saw was Yamato Ishida. Matt had moved to America with T.K to help his career as a singer while his parents moved to different parts of the world, but she'll call him...he's still her friend...he'll help her...
Picking up the phone, Sora dialed the number and waited until the gruff sound of a man picked up, "Hello? What is it?"
Her hands shaking, Sora swalloed her tears and said, "I-is Yamato Ishida there?"
"Ishida? He ain't here, he and his little brother sold me this place two weeks ago. Said he got a job with some big production company in some big city," the man answered.
Sora felt desolation swallowing her up, "Did he leave a phone or an address for any of his friends?"
"Nope, listen kid, he said he had bigger things to think about now and if anyone calls him, tell them that he has other things to do now."
Sora felt a tear drop, "Okay, t-thank you, b-bye." Hanging up Sora broke down crying again. In the digital world she had amde room in her heart for each one of her friends: Mimi, Tai, Joe, Izzy, Kari, T.K, all of them and now...now she felt her peice of heart for Matt break away...he had bigger things to think about after all...
#######End of Flashback########
Matt watched in amazement and shock as the girl before him stiffened and her features turned cold and set like a statues.
"Sorry, Mr. Ishida, but I have to go now. It was wonderful talking with you, Mr. Famous Superstar, glad you could spare your time. Now good-bye," she spat out as she stood up.
Matt stood up also and pulled at her elbow, "What did I do? Why are you so angry?"
Looking coldly and disdainfully at him, all Sora saw was the singer with no trace of the rebel that she had known so well.
"You sold out Matt. What happened to the rebel?" she said before running off leaving a stunned Matt by the fountain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tai looked up from his magazine as he saw Sora walk into the Apartment. Her eyes were red and it seemed that she had been crying. His protection instincts went up, *Who would hurt her? When I get my hands on him....I'll...how dare he hurt my Sora...wait...she's not my Sora...* he thought as he stood up and went to her.
"Her Sora, you okay?" he asked gently.
Turning her face away, Sora wiped her tears away and sniffed slightly, "Y-yeah, I'm fine."
"Why are you crying?" Tai asked, only a few inches away from her.
"It's nothing, alright, j-just l-l-leave m-m-me alone," Sora broke down crying as Tai's arms enveloped her letting her sob on his shoulders as he stoked her hair.
After her sobs died down, they just stayed there like that and for a brief moment they both had their peace. For awhile, Sora could imagine that it really was her Tai's arms that were around her and not her roommates. For awhile, Tai could pretend that he was comforting his Sora just like when they were kids.
Then the moment was broken...and they both realized that they weren't holding the person they imagined they were...and they broke away...
"Hey, how about I take you out for a late lunch," Tai suggested.
Sora smiled one of her heart-warming smiles and said, "I'd like that..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Up on the Gold Suite of the Tokyo hotel stood T.K and Kari surrounded by suitcases.
"Do you remember where Warren said Matt went?" T.K asked.
"No, but that show Warren put up for the Press was so funny, T.K. This is going to be so fun! We're back in Japan and there's no school..." Kari began excitedly.
"...no exams..." T.K continued.
"...no professors..." Kari said.
"...no Davis..." T.K laughed, but suddenly the door was thrown open and a smiling Davis rushed in yelling, "Hey Kari! Hey T.J.! Guess who's here with you for the break?"
Laughing Kari said as T.K gave a low grumble, "You speak too soon, T.K."
"What are you doing here, Davis?" T.K asked exasperated.
"What, did you expect me to let you have all this time alone with Kari to yourself, why I-" Davis began, but T.K cut off in a dry tone, "It's not just me and Kari, Dvais, there's Matt, Warren, Matt's *people*, his bodyguards, and all the people in Tokyo."
Glaring at T.K Davis continued, "Well, anyways, I got Ken to go back to Japan with me. Ken! Their in here!"
"Ken's here?" Kari asked a surprised T.K. T.K hadn't seen Ken since he moved to the U.S with his brother and Kari hadn't seen Ken since she left home to go to the Parisan school. It had been years.
A medium height guy with dark violet hair walked into the room, he wore a black suit.
"Ken?" Kari and T.K asked in shock.
"Hey guys," the once Digimon Emperor said sheepishly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi sat on the pink couch in her hotel suite one floor up fuming with anger. In her hands was the latest addition of Wonder. Matt Ishida had called her an airhead! That-that jerk! He called her an airhead! Like she was just another ditzy actress. *Oooh, I am so gonna get even with that-that...* she thought angrily.
The phone suddenly rang, Mimi rushed over to pick it up, "Hello?"
"Hi Mimi," a french voice said on the other line.
"What do you want, Fini?" Mimi growled at her manager.
"Well, I think you'd be happy to know I got a retraction from the Fab magazine about your relationship with Matt Ishida. By tomorrow afternoor, the whole world will know you guys were never a couple."
An mischeivous idea occured to Mimi and an evil smile spread across her face, "Oh, never mind about that, Fini. I want to whole world to know that I'm married to Matt Ishida and we have three kids that we hide away in a trailer park."
"What! Mimi, are you crazy?! This will totally ruin your reputation!" Fini exclaimed.
"Not if you make it out as Matt using and dumping me. Then, his reputation wil be ruined and I'll be the innocent, naive girl who got used. Perfect for my image. Little Miss Helpless," Mimi giggled.
"But then I'll have to-" Fini complained.
"Oh you can do it, Fini, just a little talk here and a little lie there will let the people blow it out of proportion. Ta ta now," and with that Mimi hung up.
Grinning to hereslef, Mimi donned on a pink tanktop and pink bell-bottoms. *Mat Ishida, you will regret the day you messed with me...* Never did it once occur to her how familiar the name was.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Izzy sat at the computer, coffee-shop by himself. Mimi had left for Japan already and he was stuck here by himself. To put worse things worse, his computer had to crash down now and he couldn't continue his project for the Glarel Award. He only knew one other person with the correct typr of computer to do his research on and he would rather dir then admit to her that he broke his computer. *It's not like I care what she thinks of me...I just don't want her to know...that's all...*
Suddenly, a cute, purple-haired girl with long hair walked into the computer coffee-shop. All the guys in the computer coffee-shop looked up. After all, their weren't that many really cute girls that went into there. Girls with her cuteness and age should be hanging out with her friends at the mall or attached to some guys arm at the beach. They don't go into computer coffee-shops.
Izzy hid his face behind his laptop, trying unsuccessfully fot her not to see him. He didn't want her to know his computer crashed...he wanted to impress her, not- wait...why did he want to impress her?
The eyes in the coffee-shop watched the gril smile smugly and head over to a short red-haired guy's table. They all gave a disappointed sigh and looked back at their laptops.
"Hey, Izzy, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at home getting ready to lose the Glarel award to me?" she teased him making Izzy blush slightly trying to look away. He couldn't look at her. He just couldn't look at those large intelligent eyes without melting.
"Um...hi Yolei," he said looking everywhere, but at her.
Sensing something wrong, Yolei looked at him awhile before finally understandingg what was wrong.
Making an amused gasp she said in awe, "You're computer crashed, didn't it?"
Turning to her quickly, Izzy asked, "How'd you know?"
Her mouth in awe, Yolei said, "It's true! You're computer crashed! That's bad, but not that bad, I mean it wasn't you're main computer, was it?" Nobody, except Yolei, understood while Izzy had to have over 6 computers in his Apartment.
"No," he said dejectedly, "but it was the one with my Glarel Award project on it."
Finally understanding she said in exasperation, "You didn't back up you're files, did you, Izzy?"
Looking helpless, the boy answered truthfully, "No, but I thought-"
"Yesh, I know, you thought that one of you're computers could never break. Izzy, you are too overconfident about your abilities. Come one, I'm the only one with the same type of computer as you. You can work with me over at my Apartment," Yolei said compassionatly.
"No," he said stubbornly.
Sighing Yolei stood up and said, "Don't think this is in any way compassion for you, Izzy. I'm not trying to be nice. I just want you to know that when I win that award, you know that you got your butt kicked fair and square."
Smiling Izzy looked at her trying-to-look-innocent-but-failing expression and laughed, "Well, thank you. Let's go right now. I missed out on hours of work already."
Laughing Yolei dargged him out of the computer coffee-shop.
