TSP: Hey guys.
Tai: What's wrong, Stacy?
TSP: Oh, nothing really. Just that I got back from Regionals a little while a go, and I am very mad! Now I'm not bitter or anything it's just that I got third in the preliminary round and one guy who beat me over acted waaaayyyyy more than it should be allowed in Prose. And even my coach said that I should have gotten second and gone to finals cause she was his judge in finals and she said that he over acted in finals, too. But, the girls who go on to state and beat him were really good and they deserved it.
Joe: Well at least you're not a sore loser.
TSP: Yeah, I mean there's always the next 3 years.
Biyo: Yeah and I'm sure you'll do better next year.
TSP: You bet! I'm state bound next year!!!!
Goma: Well that's good.
TSP: Well here's chapter X. Enjoy it!
Take A Chance On Me
Chapter X: Loser
That night Sora had an array of very interesting dreams. She dreamt of the first time she and Tai had met.
They were only 5 and were in the same age group at school. Tai had been playing soccer by himself. He was not bad for a 5 year old, but one false kick sent him flying to the ground. He would have started crying if it had not been for Sora. She walked over to him, helped him up and asked-
"Can I play?"
"Sure!" Tai replied.
"I'm Sora. What's your name?"
"Taichi. But you can call me Tai."
From that day on they were inseperable.
Next, Sora dreamt of the time she was ckosen to play on the boy's soccer team. They were 7. She was made fun of a lot. She would have quit, if it had not been for Tai. He walked her home after their first practice. Sora was nearly in tears.
"Don't be sad Sora. They're just jealous cause you're better than they are."
"Maybe I should just quit, Tai."
"No, Sora. You're not a quitter, and you are not gonna quit now." He said while hugging her. "I won't let you."
"Thanks, Tai." She said while hugging him back.
She next dreamt of their summer in the Digital World. It was the best summer of her life. Even though they were only 11, she knew it was a defining point in her life. And Tai was always there when she needed him the most.
"And that's when I realized, my mom loved me all along."
"You know, Sora. When your crest started to glow, I felt something. I think it was your love shining through."
She dreamt about what happened two years later, when Sora got her first boyfriend. She really liked him a lot, and he ended up breaking her heart after five months. As always Tai was there to come to her rescue.
"Don't be sad, Sora. Please don't cry."
"Why? Why did he have to do this to me?"
"He's a jerk, Sora. A stupid idiotic jerk who didn't know how good he had it. And you're better off with out him, Sora. You're better than him."
"You really mean that, Tai?"
"Yeah, Sora, I do."
Sora threw her arms around Tai and said, "Thanks Tai. I feel a lot better now. You always seem to know how to cheer me up. I better go. Thanks again Tai. Bye." She kissed him on the cheek and ran off.
"Bye, Sora." Tai whispered in complete shock.
She dreamt of the past few months. So much had happened. New year at school, new DigiDestined, and a new best friend. She dreamt of the first time she met Jacob, and the first time she introduced him to Tai.
"Hey. You're new her right?"
"Yeah. I'm Jacob. Jacob Black, the new exchange student from Texas."
"Hi." Sora said shaking his hand. "I'm Sora Takenouchi. Welcome to Odiba High."
"Thanks." He replied. "So what sports do y'all have here?" (A/N: Everyone on Texas says "y'all". Believe me I know.)
"Well we have 3 main ones. Basket ball. Tennis, which I play. And my personal favorite- soccer."
"Soccer, huh? Maybe I should try that."
"You'd be good at it. You'd have to keep up with Tai. But....." she said surveying his body. "You're built for it."
"Thanks- hey! Are you hitting on me?" He joked.
"Maybe." She flirted. "Would you mind?"
"Not at all, Gorgeous."
"Thanks, Handsome."
They talked for the whole period and found they had a lot in common. He loved the Beatles as much as she did. And he understood her obsession with music. They ate lunch together and had a few more classes together. That afternoon he tried out for the soccer team and blew the coach, the team, and Sora away. He was almost as good as Tai.
After practice, Tai spotted Sora in the bleechers.
"Hey, Sora. What are you doing here? I thought you had tennis practice." Tai asked.
"I do. But...." She said looking away. Tai looked to see Jacob heading their way. "I decided to show Jacob around and stay for his try outs so we could go out for pizza later. Jacob, you've met Tai."
"Yeah, what's up man?"
Tai's temper flared as he saw Jacob put his arm around Sora.
*He's been here for one day and he already thinks he owns the place, and Sora.* Tai thought. "Nothing. I have to go. Bye." He said as he walked off.
"Uhh... okay. Bye Tai. Well that was weird." She said as they started to walk off. "Oh, well. Let's go get some pizza. I'm starving!"
"Me, too! What kind do you like?"
"Mushroom. I'm the only one I know who likes mushroom."
"You're kidding? I love mushrooms!"
Sora dreamt of the next few months after that. She and Jacob grew closer ans closer. As she and Tai grew farther apart. Only now in her dreams did she realize why he grew so distant. He was too jealous of her relationship with Jacob to even talk to her.
Finally, she dreamt of the past day, and all that she learned from Tai and herself.
Tai barely slept at all that night. He spent a good two hours crying over all the pain he caused Sora. Then he just laid in bed listening to music and thinking of his mistakes.
"Cause I'm a loser.
And sooner or later you know I'll be dead.
"You're getting closer...."
*Hmm....... This should be my theme song.* Tai thought. *I'm such a loser! Why was I only thinking of myself? It never even occoured to me what might happen to Jacob, or how it would affect Sora. I'm such a selfish jerk! I don't deserve someone like Sora. She's better off with Jacob. At least I know he's not stupid enough to do some Ithing like what I did.*
Tai got up and walked out onto his balcony. He looked up at the star filled sky. It always reminded him of Sora.
*Sora. The name itself means sky. It's so beautiful tonight, just like the girl I've fallen for. I wonder if she's thinking, or dreaming of me right now. Dang!* He thought as he hit the railing with his fist. *Why couldn't I just have told her earlier? Then I would have Sora, and she wouldn't hate me. But now........ it's too late. She hates me for what I did. And now she and Jacob are closer than ever and I have to pay the price for what I did. I guess I deserve what I got. As ong as she's happy, that's all that matters to me.* He thought as he walked back in his room.
Sora awoke at the first sight of light that morning. Her covers were in a heap on the floor, her head was at the foot of her bed, and one of her feet and hands were dangling off opposite sides of her bed.
*Well... that was an interesting night. God, what time is it?* she thought as she reached for the clock.
*Only 7:15. Ugh!* she said laying back down. *I may as well get up. I'll never get back to sleep now. Besides.........* she thought as she headed for the bathroom * I have a big task ahead of me to prepare for.*
TSP: Well I'm over it now.
Joe: That's good.
TSP: Yeah plus, now that band, OAP, and U.I.L. are over I am stress free and now sleeping normal again!
Tai: No more nocturnal activities?
TSP: Nope.
Tai and Joe: Dang.
Biyo: Well that's good. Now you can get more sleep and work more on your fan fics.
Goma: Yeah. So, for Stacy this is Gomamon signing off! Catch you on the flip side!! :::runs off:::
TSP: He's lucky I'm tired! Well the next chapter will be the last. Which is good cause I'm gonna start on my next few fan fics. I have a few really good ideas. So until next time later days!!!
Tai: What's wrong, Stacy?
TSP: Oh, nothing really. Just that I got back from Regionals a little while a go, and I am very mad! Now I'm not bitter or anything it's just that I got third in the preliminary round and one guy who beat me over acted waaaayyyyy more than it should be allowed in Prose.
