Home For Christmas

The living room, two days after Christmas…

"Are you guys sure that you don't want help?" (Mimi)

"Yeah, we'd be glad to help you guys out!" (Yolei)

"No it's alright. Besides we want it to be a surprise!" (Matt)

":sigh: okay if that's what you really want." (Kari)

"Don't be so sad! Hey we'll let you guys peek about once in awhile!" (T.K.)

"Really?" (Sora)

"Yup!" (Tai)

"By the way… Where's Joe? We need to get started on the ballroom right away!" (Izzy)

"I don't-" (Mimi)

Then they all heard a loud crash coming from the stairs, followed by a loud meow.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY POOR KITTEN!!! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL IT?!?!? WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM I JUST GOT HER FOR CHRISTMAS!!!! JEEZ!!" (guess… no really guess)

0

"0WELL IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT SHE WAS SLEEPING ON THE SECOND STEP OF THE STAIRS! I THINK I JUST HURT SOMETHING AND ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOUR STUPID CAT!!!" (Joe)

"HAH! YOU ALWAYS THINK YOU BROKE SOMETHING!!! BESIDES MY CAT IS SMALLER THEN YOU!" (Amy)

Matt held up five fingers and silently counted down, when he hit zero Joe and Amy stormed in.

"I HATE YOU JOE KIDO!! AND SO DOES MY CAT!!!" (Amy)

"WELL I DON'T CARE! HA! I FEEL SORRY FOR ANY BOY THAT EVER WENT OUT WITH YOU!!" (Joe)

"YOU WISH!!! YOU JUST KEEP ON DREAMING!" (Amy)

"AS A MATTER FACT I WILL KEEP ON DREAMING!!! OF YOU LEAVING! :drags Izzy out the door to the car: Come on guys! We don't need her!" (Joe)

"GOOD RIDDANCE! :she storms back upstairs with her kitten:" (Amy)

The room fills with silence.

"Well that was interesting." (Mimi)

"We'd better be heading off, busy day ahead of us." (Matt)

Matt headed out the door, but not before giving Mimi a quick kiss (that was for you Simi ;P), followed by T.K. who hugged Kari warmly (that was for you Kale ;) ). Tai was about to follow, but then he pulled Sora off to the side and slipped a note into her hand. After flashing her a quick smile, he quickly followed the other guys, leaving Sora behind with her eyebrow raised. The girls all gave each other a wink, and slyly sauntered up to Sora.

Sora opened up the note and read in Tai's familiar rushed scrawl,

Sora,

Meet me at the ice skating pond, you know in the woods. 3 o'clock, I'll be waiting, got a surprise for you! See you there, by the way bring your ice-skates.

Love, Tai

As Sora finished reading she tucked the note into her pocket, and was just about to leave the room, when someone grabbed her and dragged her onto the couch. She let out a yelp before she realized that she was surrounded by her girl friends.

"So, what did Tai write that you, that's so secretive?" (Mimi)

"He just asked me to go ice-skating with him at three today. Said something about a surprise." (Sora)

"Is it just me, or are you blushing Sora?" (Yolei)

"Do you like Tai, Sora?" (Kari)

"NO!! I mean well, maybe, or er- I-I-"

The girls watched expectantly until Sora scared them by screaming, "I WOULD, BUT I JUST'T CAN'T TRUST HIM ANYMORE!!"

The girls glanced worried at each other, "What do you mean you can't trust him?"

"You do like him, right?" (Yolei)

Sora sighed and mumbled miserably, "Yes."

"But why can't you realize it?" (Kari)

"I'll explain later." (Sora)

"Well okay then! Now let's go upstairs and give you a complete and total makeover!" (Mimi)

"Huh?" (Sora)

"Well you want to impress Tai don't you? AND YOU JUST HAPPEN TO BE FRIENDS WITH THE FASHION QUEEN!!! HAHAHA!!!" (Mimi whips out a brush, and lipstick tube, while dragging Yolei, Kari, and Sora upstairs.)

"We're doomed…" (Sora)

"Uh-huh…" (Kari and Yolei)

"WAIT!!!" (Mimi)

Everybody froze, and stared at Mimi, "WE FORGOT AMY!!!! SHE'S ALMOST AS GOOD AS ME WHEN IT COMES TO MAKEOVERS!"

With that she dragged them upstairs and after dumping them in her vast, pink room, she went and got Amy, who came running as if the building was on fire.

30 minutes later…

"You know Sora, you've got some great hair, if only you did something with it!" (Mimi)

"AUGH!!! I love your COMPLEXION KARI! MAN! Models would KILL for your skin!" (Amy)

"Yolei, don't even talk to me! I envy your eyes! If only you would wear some eye makeup and contacts!" (Mimi)

"So! Anyway Sora why were you so worried about going ice-skating with Tai?" (Yolei)

"I see you're being your usual blunt self." (Sora)

"Wait a minute Sora, that's a good question." (Kari)

"Yeah, we all know that a while ago you started to act differently around Tai, although we all know that you were and still are desperately in love with him!" (Mimi)

"MIMI!" (Sora)


"Well you are! And you didn't answer Yolei's question!" (Mimi)

Sora just sighed shaking her head, causing Mimi to scold her for mussing her hair. "DRAT IT SORA! I DIDN"T ASK YOU TO SHAKE YOUR HEAD! I TOLD YOU TO ANSWER THE QUESTION!"

Sora meekly nodded her head, and started to talk, "Girls I can't tell you now, but I promise that when I leave to meet Tai there'll be a note telling you exactly what happened. Okay?"

"Okay." (Yolei)

"Now about that date! What time is it?" (Mimi)

"Oh don't worry it's only 1:30." (Kari)

"ONLY!!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONLY!!! I've got to get cracking! Come on Sora time to choose your outfit!" With that Mimi dragged Sora out the door and into Sora's bedroom. The girls had all settled in when a piercing shriek erupted. Sprinting into Sora's bedroom the girls greeted a pale Mimi. "WHAT HAPPENED?! MIMI ARE YOU ALRIGHT?"

"I'm fine, but Sora's WARDROBE isn't!"

2:45 at the ice pond…

The girls all stood with Sora surveying the ice. Mimi had lugged a stereo from her house and had connected it to some electricity so that Tai and Sora could skate with some music. They all crowded around Sora who gave each of them a hug, and a whispered thank you. Pressing an envelope into Kari's hand, she told her not to open it until they reached Mimi's house. Then turning away she stepped onto the ice as the other girls raced off. Finally once the girls were out of sight she slipped a tape into the stereo and started to skate around, waiting for Tai.

3:00 Tai…

Tai crunched through the snow until he reached the ice pond. Peering through the trees he saw Sora skating to some music, the girls had done their job well. Then everything left his mind as he started to study Sora. She looked different! Her hair was all in curls with a layer of tiny braids over all the curls, and they were held back with earmuffs. She wore a long turtleneck yellow shirt with a bulky white sweater, and evening blue gloves. She wore a pale, ice-blue skirt and tights that started white at the bottom and became blue at the top. Watching her stream lined form travel over the ice, he almost didn't see the group of dark figures approaching him from behind.

3:15, the girls…

"Hurry up and open that note!" (Mimi)

"I'm just dying of curiosity!" (Yolei)

"Alright already!" (Kari)

The girls were now sitting around on the couch, except Amy who had gone upstairs. Kari skimmed the note and gave a gasp. The other girls noticing Kari's white face, huddled around and started to read.

Dear Kari, Mimi, and Yolei,

It all started a while ago, when me and Tai were in tenth grade. Remember how after we saved the digiworld for the second time, Tai started to lose touch with us. Well I thought that even if he started hanging out with those soccer guys he would still be my friend but I was wrong. His friends started to harass me, so I told Tai. When Tai didn't believe me and started yelling at me I started to avoid him. Then his soccer friends came and beat me up, but Tai didn't notice, not even when I limped into P.E. with as sprained ankle and two black eyes. I went up to him again and told him what happened and, well, he yelled at me again, this time saying that I was just jealous of his new soccer friends and that he knew that I was just faking it. After that I ran away crying, or rather limped away. Later his friends came up to me again, this time they beat me up so bad that I was sent to the hospital, they warned me that if I ever told anyone they would beat Tai up, so I left him. I never spoke again to him, and what kills me the most is that he never even apologized and he didn't even call up when I was at the hospital. Well girls, that's the story. I'm just happy that I'll never see his soccer friends ever again, maybe I can be with Tai now.

Love,

Sora Takenouchi

Mimi and Yolei dropped the letter with a shriek. They stared at Kari who just stared back, after two minutes they all scrambled up and jammed out the door.

"Oh my god! We have to stop Tai before he ruins Sora's life!" (Mimi)

"Oh WHY oh WHY did we have to come up with this brilliant idea!" (Kari)

"Hurry up it's already 3:30! We might already be too late!" (Yolei)

"AMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (all the girls)

"What?! IS SOMETHING WRONG?!?!?" (Amy)

"GET YOUR SNOWMOBILE!!!! WE HAVE TO GET TO THE ICE RINK RIGHT NOW!" (Everybody)

"We'll brief you on our problem on the waaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!" :vroom!:

The ice-rink…

Sora felt the wind whipping through her hair, as she skated around the rink. All of a sudden, she felt a bump as she fell and slid over the ice. Good thing Tai isn't here to see that stupid fall. Sora snapped out of her thoughts as she came to a stop… at the ice-skates of… TAI!!!!

"Heh! Hi Tai! Did you see that?" (Sora)

"Don't worry about Sora! You should have seen all the times I fell down, especially when it was my first time!" As Tai continued to talk, he reached down to help Sora up off the ice. Grasping his hand, Sora got up and dusted off herself. Then Sora looked up and gasped, and nearly fell down again. Oh no! I thought I'd never have to go through this again!

Noticing Sora's gasp Tai grinned childishly, "SURPRISE! I remember how well you guys got along together, so I invited my old soccer buddies along for the day, since they were in the neighborhood!"

Sora gave a weak, "Oh Tai, it's great…"

"Well I have to go get something I left a while back, so you guys wait for me, okay?" (Tai)

Then he was off, leaving Sora with 5 guys from her nightmares. Oh my god! Oh my god! TAI COME BACK!

The five boys watched as Tai disappeared into the forest, then they came and surrounded Sora.

"Remember me Sora?"

"Who could forget you, Paul?" Sora spat out. "You're still the same jerk, that you were!"

"Well, Sora, you aren't. You've grown up." Sora felt herself shrink back when she realized what he was going to do.

"TAI!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!" Sora shrieked.

The five girls…

"TAI!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!"

"Oh lord! That was Sora!" (Mimi)

"Speed this stupid machine up!" (Yolei)

"I'm trying! I'm trying!" (Amy)

"I just hope we get their in time!" (Kari)

The other 4 guys…

"Well we've finished for today!" (Matt)

"Yup! I can't wait to see the look on the girls' faces when they see this!" (T.K.)

"Personally I just want to go home." (Izzy)

"Oh joy, another night will a crazed girl yelling at me." (Joe)

"TAI!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!"

Tai…

"TAI!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!" Tai whirled around at Sora's scream, and dashed back to the ice rink. He felt his heart pounding wildly, as he ran. As he reached the ice rink, he came to a complete stop by the rink, he saw a sight that shot through him like a bullet through his heart. Sora was crumpled on the ice-rink with a bright red hand mark on her cheek, and his so-called friend Paul was gripping her wrist so hard that it was white.

"How did that feel? Get used to it!" Tai couldn't bear it anymore, he rushed out onto the ice, and grabbed Paul's hand.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HER PAUL?!" (Tai)

"Tai! You're back!" (Sora)

"Don't worry Sora, I'll protect you. These freaks won't hurt you!" (Tai)

"NO, we soccer freaks are going to hurt you!" (Paul)

With that the other four guys surrounded Tai, and started to beat him up.

"NO!!!! LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!" Sora started to twist and turn trying to get out of Paul's iron grip. Just as Sora was about to give up, she heard a hum of a snowmobile, and then two girls vaulted on to the ice, while the other two parked the snowmobile.

Kari headed straight toward Tai while Mimi quickly wrenched Sora from Paul's grip. Kari dragged Tai's semiconscious body off the ice rink, joined by Mimi and Sora. Sora quickly wrenched off her skates, and fell on her knees by Tai's side. Cradling Tai's head in her lap, she felt tears sliding down her face. Silently she wiped her tears off his face, and felt her heart give a leap as Tai opened his eyes, and whispered, "I believe you Sora. You were right all along, forgive me…" As Tai's voice faded, he fainted dead away.

Sora, felt her anger grow inside her, until she felt that she was going to boil over. Gently she passed Tai to Amy, and she stood up to face Paul and his gang. Her eyes blazed, as Kari and Mimi came up to stand behind her.


"So, I feel a little like payback." (Kari)

"I'm all for it." (Mimi)

"They'll be sorry they ever messed with Tai." (Sora)

They 5 boys who faced them, each hit a karate pose. *A/N: this part is going to get a little weird, but hey think a very bad version of friends =p*

All of a sudden Independent Woman came on in the background.

The three girls hit their poses, and then they were off. Whirling and somersaulting they kicked some jerk a--! The other four boys rushed up, and their jaws dropped as they saw Kari, Mimi, and Sora, fight like they were… Charlie's Angels, or rather Gennai's Angels. Finally only Paul was left standing, but not for long! With three synchronized kicks, all three of the girls knocked him out. Dusting off their hands, they started to laugh.

"We should do that more often!" (Kari)

"Sure, but of course, only if they needed a beating!' (Mimi)

"Like Mr. Hotshot Paul over there!" (Sora)

Tai sat up, groaning, and said, "Did I do all that damage?"

Glancing at each other, all five girls started to giggle, as they all said, "Whatever you say Taichi!"

The guys just looked at each other and shrugged, as they all trudged home.
