Friends Forever
Chapter 1
Dear Sora, 'No, that can't be it. Sounds too… I dunno, but it's not it.'
Hey Sora! 'Hey? I don't think so…'
Wazzup Sora? 'No, I sound stupid.'
"Ah, screw, I'll do it later!" Taichi exclaimed after banging his head on the table brainstorming. "But what's a guy supposed to say after throwing up in his best friend's hat?" That's exactly what Sora was to him. No one can replace her as his number one best friend. Sure, she was a girl, but still… She's Sora, and that changes everything. 'She's not talking to me ever again, but I have to finish this before soccer practice, so I can give this to her, and maybe she'll talk to me again.'
Taichi sighed. "Sora…" An image of her floated in front of Taichi's hazel eyes. "You're so pretty…" Suddenly, Taichi snapped out of his small trance and clamped his hand over his mouth. "Did I just say what I think I said?"
"You mean, 'Sora, you're so pretty'?" Kari asked, standing by Taichi's door. She giggled. "So I guess you do have a crush on her."
"No I don't! She's only the bestest friend I have!" He snapped quickly. "Kari, I can't believe you believe what the guys are saying! You know we're just friends! Get out of here!" He said angrily, slamming the door in front of Kari, making her run crying.
Taichi was crimson red, both from anger and embarrassment. A lot of guys in the soccer team would tease them whenever they're together. Sora would reply harshly, "No we're just best friends." Then Taichi would back her up by saying, "You heard her! Get out of here!"
Taichi was unaware that he had let that get to his head, though. He was so busy defending her that he never noticed the blush that crept up Sora's face.
'Now I won't even get near her…' He thought.
"TAICHI!!" A stern voice entered his thoughts.
"M-mom? When did you get home?" Tai stuttered.
"You fell asleep when you were dreaming of you-know-who." Kari answered timidly behind her mother.
"It's time for soccer practice, I'll give you a lecture on the way there."
"What?!" He said, obviously surprised. His mom dragged him to the car, while his mind swirled at the new information he acquired. 'Fell asleep? How long? Must be pretty long, since it's time for… Soccer Practice?! And I didn't even finish my letter! I didn't even start it! A lecture? What for? Oh, about Kari.'
His Mom already started on her lecture. Taichi barely listened to anything she was saying. "Yeah, be a good brother to Kari." He said after his mom paused. He tried listening when she started talking again, but he was too busy thinking of Sora that what his mom said went in one ear and out the other.
Suddenly the car stopped. No, it wasn't a red light, because that wouldn't make Taichi's face as pale as it was. It was Highton View Park, the place where soccer practice takes place. Sora stood there, but what for? Could she be waiting… For him? 'Naah, can't be. She's pissed at me.'
"Now you be a good boy, Taichi, okay?" His mom said.
"Okay, Mom." Taichi replied softly.
"No,. she couldn't be waiting for me, she's too pissed at me." He said to himself again once he got out of the car. 'But I'm her only friend on the team since she's the only girl.'
Sora saw Taichi and turned her eyes back to the floor. She then turned around, and walked towards the field.
"Sora, wait!" He said immediately.
She stopped, and Taichi ran up to her. "What do you want, Taichi?"
Her voice made Taichi jump slightly. It wasn't her usual caring voice, so it was natural that he would be surprised. "Sora…"
She sighed. "Uh-huh…?"
"Sora, I'm really sorry. I really can't stand the thought of you mad at me like this. I'll do anything to make it up. Just please… Forgive me?"
Sora looked at him with emotionless and cold eyes. "We're supposed to start practicing in a couple of minutes. I'll answer that later."
Sora didn't let Taichi distract her. Not too much, anyway. She was pretty good at hiding her feelings, unlike Taichi. He tripped at least fifty times, and he couldn't get the soccer ball into the net no matter how he tried. When he tried being goalie, every soccer ball went through him and into the net.
When the coach dismissed them, Taichi ran back to the spot Sora was standing on a couple of hours ago. This was their spot, where they'd always meet at soccer practice or when their families would have a picnic together.
"SORA!" He yelled when he saw her.
"Ooohh… The guy who doesn't know how to play wants to give the best player on the team a kiss!" One of his teammates teased, causing the rest of the team, except Sora to laugh.
"Shut up Tsutomu! Mind your own business people!" He spat out.
Tsutomu shrugged. "Whatever. Come on, let's give them their time together."
"You need to learn how to control your temper." Sora said when all their teammates left.
"I know, sorry." He apologized. "So would you please forgive me?"
Sora turned her head to the right. "Sorry, my dad's here. I'll tell you tomorrow."
"You're kidding me! You saw how bad I was at soccer practice! How do you think I'm gonna be at home?!" He insisted.
"Okay, fine." She agreed. "I'll forgive you under one condition."
"I promise I'll try my best never to do that ever again!" Taichi blurted out.
"Besides that, I want you to promise me that we'll be best friends forever." She replied with a smile in her eyes.
Taichi's whole face brightened. "Okay!" He held out his pinky, and Sora took it.
"Sorry if this is too girly for you." She smiled.
"That's okay." He paused, about to make a very important promise that could change his life. "I, Yagami Taichi, promise to be Sora's best friend forever." Taichi said, getting his words from TV shows.
Right after Taichi's promise, Sora's dad pulled up, and Taichi's mom right behind.
Taichi and Sora smiled at each other. "See ya." They chorused.
THE END!!!
AN: Yeah right! It is the end, but not of the whole story! It was going to be one short chapter only, but some ideas popped into my head and it's going to be a minimum of three short chapters (I think)! In case you didn't know, this took place when Tai and Sora were still kids. That's why they act and talk like that. Aren't they just so kawaii? Believe me, I could write and make better insults than that, but since Tai and Sora are kids, I tried to make the dialogue and thoughts like kids' dialogues and thoughts. Please let me know what you think!
Disclaimer: As much as I wish, Digimon isn't mine. If it was, I would make Tai and Sora together. But Taichi, Sora, and Digimon belong to Bandai, Saban, Fox, and a lot of other big companies. I haven't written that many Digimon fics, so I forgot most of the companies' names, and the creator's name, too. Help…? Oh, and the plot is mine. No selling for profit or plagiarizing or anything like that without my permission! That's illegal!
