She sat there, not moving. His eyes took a look of sorriness as he watched the girl before him. He didn´t know why she had to scream at him. He was only trying to be nice. Tai was about to leave her there, but took notice that the girl´s shoulders were shaking, then he heard sniffling. `Why is she crying?´ Tai walked closer to the girl´s small shaking body and bent down in a crotch. "Are you ok?" He placed his little hand upon her shoulder.

"I...I said...go away!" She barely managed to choke it out. Tai wouldn´t budge. The girl sat for a moment and peered to her side, only to see that the boy hadn´t moved. She crunched back. "Why won´t you go away?" She pushed the boys hand off of her.

Tai stared at her for a bit before smiling his cute little smile widely. "I wanna be friends!"

Sora frowned. "I don´t wanna."

Tai kept smiling. "You are just scared." He thought a bit then jumped to his feet. "I know!" He reached up to his head and took off his goggles that were holding up his hair. "You can use these!" He handed them to Sora with that cute non-stopping smile of his! (AWWWW!) "My mommy says they make you brave!"

Sora took a moment to realize the things happening. She looked at the goggles and then to Tai, then back to the goggles. She wiped her teary eyes and smiled. "Really?" Tai nodded happily. Sora slowly got up off the floor and slowly took the goggles from Tai´s hands. She stared at them for a bit before placing them around her neck, fully believing that they had some magic power to give you bravery. "Thanks." She smiled at him with a bit of shyness.

Our little bushy brown head nodded. "My name is Tai!"

Sora gripped the goggles around her neck before responding confidently. "I´m Sora! Please to meet you!"

Tai laughed. "You wanna meet my other friends?" Sora looked at him for a bit before nodding unsurely. Tai yelled out a "yea" and grabbed her wrist. "Come on!"
~~~~~~~~~~

"I SAID NO!" Matt ran around the play area like a maniac in despair. "I don´t want you to!" The poor boy grabbed a chair and hid behind it.

Mimi stared at him strangely. "But Mwat! I just wanna bwush you hair?" (But Matt! I just want to brush your hair?) She held her little pink brush in her hand. She came closer to Matt as he crawled under the play school table in fear. Izzy was looking up from his `cool´ toy and watched in amusement, for he was a bit happy that Mimi wasn´t torturing him like before. (We still don´t know what those girl´s did to him?! ^^;) Joe was shaking his head and sighed.

"This way Sora!" Tai dragged the girl to where he last left his little group. He came upon his newly made friends and frowned. "What´s going on?"

Matt grew wide eyed and dashed his way to Tai, just before our pink Mimi could crawl under the table he was under. Matt grabbed Tai´s shoulders and pulled him into a blocking position, causing Tai to let go of Sora´s wrist. "Stop her Tai! You met her first! She is trying to brush my hair!"

Tai was in a bit of surprise as he looked at Mimi under the table, then to Matt in the corner of his eye. "Why do I have to do it?" Tai also didn´t understand the big deal. It was just hair...right?

Sora looked at the small girl under the table with soft eyes. The girl in pink looked as if she was going to cry as she held her brush close. Sora looked away for a bit, unsure of what to do, before smiling. She gripped Tai´s goggles and made her way to Mimi. She came upon the girl and crawled under the table. "Hello." She smiled at Mimi proud of her courage. "I´m Sora!"

Mimi looked up through her slightly watered eyes and smiled. "Hi...I´m Mimi."

Sora nodded. "You can brush my hair if you like."

Mimi´s eyes lighted up and smiled. "Weally!" (Really!) She watched as Sora nodded before climbing out from under the table. She sat down as Sora crawled her way in front of Mimi and sat down. Mimi brought her brush to her new target and brushed away like there was no tomorrow, being gentle of course ^_~!

Sora smiled and looked up and saw a new face, and the blonde boy she saw before. The boy with blue hair smiled. "That was really nice of you! I´m Joe!" He held out his hand, and Sora was reluctant to shake it at first but did.

Matt looked at Mimi´s smiling face then to Sora. "Thanks for saving...I mean... letting her brush your hair and not mine." He stood up straight and did his cool, but more like cute, pose. "I´m Matt! Da man!" He paused. "Hey I like that! Da man!" He smiled and looked down at Sora.

Sora giggled while Mimi continued to brush. "My name is Sora." The girl looked around and noticed someone wasn´t with her no more. "Where is Tai?"

Matt laughed and pointed to the bushy haired boy by Izzy. Tai was trying to see this `cool´ toy because he didn´t get to before. "Izzy! Let me see!" Tai jumped up and down frantically trying to see the toy in Izzy´s arms.

Izzy pouted and held the toy close to him and shook his head. "No...you almost bwoke it..." the little red head responded in an ever so low and sweet whisper. (AWWW! MY IZZY IS TO ADORABLE!) The little boy clutched the toy tighter and stood up slowly. Tai groaned and walked back to Sora and Matt.

"Koushiro!" A woman´s voice called out among the children´s screams in the play area.

The little red head´s eyes lighted up with happiness as a tall woman headed toward him with something in her hands. "Mommy!"

The woman smiled warmly at him as she squatted down to his low level. "Hi there Koushiro! Are you having fun?"

The little boy ran up and hugged his mother tightly. "I wanna go home."

The lady sighed and shook her head. "Sorry honey, in a little while ok?" She peered down to her son an noticed that he was about to cry with his jiggly eyes. She smiled and brought the items in her hands before him. "Hey Koushiro! I brought you some ice cream in a cup! I also brought one for your little friend." She looked around and saw the small blonde boy approaching her.

"Hi Izzy´s mommy!" Matt smiled sweetly and innocently, obviously noticing the ice cream in her hands.

"You can call me Mrs. Izumi, Yamato," she smiled and handed a small ice cream in a cup to the little blond boy. "This is for you!"

Matt eagerly took it and popped the little paper top off. "Thanks Izzy´s mommy!"

Mrs. Izumi groaned. She then looked down at her `still gripping to her shirt´ son. "Koushiro...here." She gave the second ice cream in a cup to her son. "I guess I can take this small laptop back."

Izzy clutched the laptop tightly. "No..." he said softly, unable to put forth any aggression.

"I think Izzy likes it Izzy´s mommy!" Matt replied, licking the ice cream off the little wooden spoon it came with.

Mrs. Izumi raised an eyebrow. "Izzy? Is that some sort of nick name for Koushiro?" Matt nodded, not really caring...just for his ice cream. Mrs. Izumi smiled and looked down at her son, who was struggling to get the paper of the ice cream in a cup. She grabbed the cup and opened it for Izzy. "So you like that nick name Koushiro?" The little boy nodded, also not caring...just for his ice cream. "Ok...then I´ll see you later `Izzy´. Mommy´s going to go sit back with the parents, ok?"

Izzy stared up at his mommy, almost with a sad look, but she was already walking away. "Mommy?"

Tai, Joe, and Sora were watching the whole display, and Mimi just continued to brush Sora´s short hair. Tai pouted, "I wanted some ice cream!"

Matt licked his wooden spoon full of ice cream teasingly. "To bad!" He stuck out his tongue to Tai, which just mad the brown head furious.

"Mr. Kido! The doctor is ready to see you son!" The same woman called out during every announcement of doom.

A tall lanky man walked over to the play area and near Tai and his little group.
"Come on Joe!"

The six year old cringed, but being the role model he thought he was (Cough) he went bravely. Tai and the others watched him leave. The small boy bowed his bushy head. "There goes a brave boy...we knew him well." The others nodded to Tai´s statement and continued to watch as Joe disappeared behind the doors. (Why is Joe always the first to leave?!)

Matt licked his ice cream, oblivious that there was ever a Joe to begin with (considering a four year old´s memory ^^;) Tai looked over to Matt and walked to his little so called friend. "Can I have some?"

Matt pretended to think, remaining silent for about two minutes. Not really thinking if Tai could have some, he already knew the answer to that. "No..." He licked his spoon once more teasingly. (Evil Matt...pure evil...)

Tai huffed and crunched is face in anger. "Fine!" The boy then moved to Izzy, who was happily taking his time eating the delicate morsel like treat. "Izzy? Can I have some?"

Sora watched Tai in a fit of giggles, as Izzy also rejected. "Are you done brushing my hair Mimi?"

The little girl with the brush smiled happily. "Almost!" She stroked the hair three more times, "ok! Aw done!" (ok! All done!) Mimi got off the floor along with Sora and made their way to the three boys, two with ice cream...and one begging ^_^.

"Come on! I just want one lick!" Tai fell to the floor cross legged.

Mimi hopped her way to Matt and smiled sweetly. "Hi!" Matt blinked with the spoon in his mouth, which looked REALLY cute, and didn´t respond. Mimi looked at the ice cream, which was now half gone in the cup and a little melted. "Can I hav´ som?" (Can I have some)

Matt looked at Tai and smirked. "Ok!"

Tai gasped. "HEY!"

Matt looked up innocently. "What?"

The little boy groaned. "Why did you give her some and not me!" Tai walked over to Matt, as the blonde boy handed Mimi some ice cream on the spoon.

Matt laughed. "Cause I just wanted to!" He stuck out his tongue.

Tai pouted but then got devious. "You like Mimi!" The little boy pranced around singing. "Matt likes Mimi! Matt likes Mimi!"

Matt, obviously a four year old boy who doesn´t like to be teased, got furious. "I do NOT!" He watched as Tai continued to dance around. "Stop that! I don´t!" The blonde boy looked at Sora, who was being offered ice cream by Izzy (Thank God Tai didn´t see), and smiled. "Well you like Sora!"

Tai stopped dancing and forgot about the whole Matt and Mimi thing, and was now focused on Matt´s tease. "I do NOT like Sora!"

Sora, who was just finishing her share of ice cream, heard that loud and clear. She obviously didn´t take notice in why Tai said it...just that he said it. She stood up with tears. "You...you don´t like me?"

Tai looked over in shock at Sora, who was about to cry. He felt bad. "Sora...I didn´t mean it."

The little girl didn´t want to hear it. "You lied! You said you wanted to be my friend!" The small girl turned away from Tai and ran off to a corner of the room.

Tai watched the small cute girl run off before turning to Matt. "Look what you did!" Tai ran after Sora.

Matt, Mimi, and Izzy shrugged and continued to eat their ice cream...(like they had anything better to do?! ^_^)
~~~~~~~~~~

Tai walked around the play area looking for his little friend, who was mad at him. He couldn´t help but feel bad. `I shouldn´t have said that...now I made her sad.´ Tai pondered his thoughts on his faults before finally spotting the little girl he was looking for. "Sora?"

"Go away Tai!" She was yet again in a siting position, crying her eyes out...much like their meeting in the beginning. "You´re mean!" Her shoulders were shaking as she sulked.

Tai pouted and was about to cry himself (Awww!) He walked up to Sora a little uneasily. "I´m sorry. I didn´t mean it. Matt made me mad." He placed his hand on Sora´s shoulders, but the little girl shrugged it away. Tai wiped his eyes from growing tears. He hated when people hated him...it wasn´t fun. "Please Sora. I said I was sorry..."

The little girl didn´t budge from her position...she didn´t even look up.

"Mrs. Kamaya! Doctor is ready to see you son!"

Tai shivered as he watched his mommy walk into the play area to look for him. He turned back to Sora, who was now looking at him. She had these sad eyes, like she didn´t want him to leave. "Tai! Let´s go!" Mrs. Kamaya walked around and spotted her son near a corner by a girl. "Tai?"

"I don´t wanna go mom!" Tai sat down next to Sora, who was a little bit in shock.

"But Tai, the doctor won´t wait." She grabbed her son´s hand and forcefully (but gently) tried to pull him up from the ground.

"No!" Tai tried to pull from his mommy.

Sora watched as Tai tried to fight to get free. She stared at the ground and noticed that she still had the goggles around her neck. A small smile played her lips. She stood up and walked over to Tai and his mom. "I forgive you Tai."

"Huh?" Tai relaxed his fight at Sora´s statement. Mrs. Kamaya took this opportunity to pick him up.

Sora smiled up at Tai. "Here! You want these back?" Sora took the goggles off around her neck and tried to hold them up high to give them to the small boy, sadly it only reached halfway up Mrs. Kamaya´s thigh.

Tai stared down at her, but soon smiled. "No...you keep them. You need them more than me!" He looked at his mommy (Looks like he forgot he was going to get shots huh? ^_~) "Is it ok mommy? She needs them to be brave." He smiled cutely, which wasn´t hard at all ^_^!

Mrs. Kamaya frowned. "But Tai, what about you?"

"Don´t worry! I have my tough face!" The small boy put on his funny looking tough face and showed Sora...which only made the little girl giggle.

"Ok Tai." Mrs. Kamaya smiled at the her son for being so generous and began to walk away with him.

"Thanks Tai!" Sora placed the small goggles around her neck again and watched as her new friend headed toward...'the door of no return´!

Tai took one last look at Sora, who was watching him leave, and waved bye. His eyes looked over to find his other friends...and for some odd reason, Matt had ice cream all over his hair and was crying his eyes out, and our little Mimi was torturing poor crying Izzy (And we shall never know the actual torture...will we? ^_~ ::grins evilly::) Tai cringed back as his mom opened the `door of no return´ and it slowly shut behind them...
