Title: Rain on Saturday-Push
Sora was right. When she reached the park, the brunette was waiting there for her. She slowed her steps, trying to think of how to approach him. The rain still hadn't let up, and she was soaked to the bone. He glanced up impatiently, and saw her. A moment later, he was bending over her, his face shoved right in front of hers, nearly yelling at her to tell him she was okay.
*God, Tai, get a breath mint!* She pulled back, and happened to look over his shoulder. Matt was across the park, oblivious to them. If he looked up, and saw them, he would approach, and she'd lose her chance. *Damn!*
"Tai, it's about Matt." The blonde spotted them, and waved at her, smiling. In sudden inspiration, she started to pretend like she was crying. Maybe the weather was on her side. "He never has time for me anymore! He barely even notices that I'm alive when we're together."
"That's not true!" Tai looked more angry at her sob-story, than sympathetic. *Going good.*
"Tai." She glanced over his shoulder, and saw that Matt was almost in hearing-range. "I love you!" She jumped on him suddenly, pressing her lips to his. His whole body went stock-still, and she saw Matt freeze. Tai pushed her away, and followed her gaze.
"Shit!" He started to go after his friend, who was running, but Sora stopped him with a hand on his arm. "Let go!"
"It has to end, Tai. We can't go on this way. Somebody has to give, and admit that my relationship with Matt is wrong. He and I aren't supposed to be together. It should be you."
"Sora, I can't believe you would be such a selfish bitch. You know, if you wanted to breakup with Matt, you didn't have to do it like this. You need to take a step back, and realize that you can't roll over people. You have to stop being so overbearing, and trying to have things your way. Other people have feelings, too." He pulled his arm away roughly, and ran after the musician.
"I know that, Tai." She spoke to his back, the tears falling for real and mixing with the rain. "That's why I'm doing this." She might not have realized that it would happen like that, but she wasn't sorry. If she lost her two best friends, she could deal with that, as long as they were together.
She turned around, and trudged back home. *It'll be nice to wear dry clothes, and spend the weekend at home.* She might start to believe that at a later time. The thought of losing the people closest to her was too possible.

*Home. Again.* She moved through the apartment restlessly. It was only a little after seven, but she was already bored. Normally, she'd call one of her friends, but she didn't feel like explaining to them why she wasn't with Yamato. *Because, hopefully, he's with Tai.*
She could hope. Even if it was more of TK's forte, it was the only thing she had to hold onto at the moment. That, and Biyomon, but the little Digimon was asleep, sitting on her pillow. It would be a shame to wake her, as well as a hassle to explain things to her, too.
Brown eyes glanced at the clock, then rolled in frustration. Only five minutes had passed since the last time she looked at it. Making a sudden decision, she strode to the door, put her shoes on, and left. If she didn't get out soon, she was going to explode. *Great. I've gone from blowing up the school, to blowing up myself. This has sure been a great day.*
It's amazing how sarcastic a mind can seem. Not that she really cared what her mind thought.
She paused in the middle of the sidewalk. *That made no sense.* A woman on the side of the road looked at her oddly, then started walking toward her. With dread, she took a step back. The woman's hair was white-blonde, and straight. Her features were tired, as if she was weary, both physically, and emotionally. "Will you pray for me, child?"
"Um. Sure." Sora, smiled at her, and then took off running in the other direction. Which happened to take her into the mall in time to see Yamato, Taichi, TK, and Davis enter. "Well, well. What a setup."
