*Disclaimer* I don't own digimon or the remake of "I'm a believer"
that
Smashmouth has done. I just like the song ^_^, I don't own any of the
characters in this
fic either. And I'll admit that this songfic isn't that good*
Tai stood backstage watching The Teenage Wolves warm up their
instruments. Matt steadied the microphone and walked over to Tai smirking.
"Are you sure about this? I mean I heard about how you sounded the
last time
you sang. Mimi was pretty expressant about it." He said grinning. The
time Tai
had sung was when he & Joe had to wake up a large sleeping Digimon,
since his
servants were keeping Mimi as their princess. Giving her everything
(which
made her more spoiled than before) she wanted so she'd sing for them
and wake
up their boss digimon. Both Tai and Joe couldn't carry a single tune
but that
was a long time ago. He took up guitar lessons from Matt & wrote
a song for
Sora. Mimi helped him with getting the music down & now he'd come
to Matt
before a show to get him to let him play his song. Tai rolled his dark
brown
eyes.
"Just listen to the song and you can decide if you want me to perform
in your
band tonight or not."

The crowd roared in anticipation as they waited for the curtains to
raise
chanting the bands' name. Sora brushed back her hair as she and her
friends sat
in the front row. She looked around for Tai in the seats. The lights
faded and
the red curtain slowly began to climb up. The fans screamed in response
as lights
focused on Matt Ishida, standing tall in a black dress shirt and blue
jeans, his
azure eyes closed while his hands were positioned around his blue and
white
Axle Guitar. "What's up Odaibah?!" Matt yelled into the mic.
The crowd
screamed back to him. He shouted out to his close friends and his brother
T.K.,
who had his arm around Tai's sister Kari. He began into his 1st song.
' You got a boy
You've got a girl, sitting underneath a tree."
The song always reminded Sora of her and Tai in the old days.
Where
was he, she wanted to talk to him. More songs went by and the curtain
lowered
again. She heard some familiar voices talking faintly from behind the
curtain.
Mimi walked down the row with Joe sitting down next to Sora.
"Hey Joe, I'm surprised to see you here." Sora said.
Joe fixed his thin glasses over his dark eyes. "Are you kidding? Getting
a chance
to see-" Mimi cut him off by taking his soda quickly. "Joe!" She yelled.
"See what?" Sora asked scrunching up her nose curiously.
"It's a surprise." Mimi giggled. The curtains rose again, the spotlight
only on
Matt.
" This next song will not be performed by me. My best friend wrote
this song
for someone he loves, let me introduce: Taichi Kamiya!" Matt yelled
The light
shined on Tai, holding a red guitar, his brown hair wild as usual,
wearing a loose white button down shirt and black slacks. He smiled
speaking
into the microphone. "This song is for a special girl, you know who
you are."
He said focusing his chocolate brown eyes on Sora. The music started
up, Matt
standing near him on back up vocals and back up guitar.
' I thought that love was always true in fairy tales.
Meant for someone else and not for me.
Love was out to get me, thats the way it seems
Disappointment haunted all my dreams'
he sang. The girls swooned, Tai's singing had definitely improved.
Sora felt her
heart skip a beat. Was this song really for her?
'And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
And not a trace...of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love *oooo* I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried.'
Matt joined him in the backup vocals.
'I thought love was more a less of a given thing.
But the more I gained the less I got, oh yeah.
What's the use in tryin- All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine I got rain.'
The girls screamed waving for Tai's and Matt's attention. But Tai's
only focus
was on Sora who was in return watching Tai, remembering comparisons
of the
song to their lives.
'And then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
and not a trace.. of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love *ooo* I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried.
What's the use in tryin all you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine I got rain.'
Tai's voice became more upbeat bouncing on the balls of his feet as
he began to
sing the chorus again.
'And then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
And not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love *ooo* I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried.
Now I'm a believer! Yeah, yeah yeah yeah! I'm a believer!
He ended turning up his chin grinning. The crowd applauded, sweat beaded
down his tanned face. Matt grinned as well in satisfaction, Tai had
done a pretty
good job. Tai let the guitar sling by the strap down to his waist taking
the
microphone in shaking hands: "I love you,Sora." He said smiling.
Sora blinked in response and cheered mouthing the words to him
"I love you,back."
The End
*Ok there's my fic, a bit boring and mushy -_-* but I hope some ppl
liked it.
Because I liked the song alot and it reminded me of Tai and Sora's
relationship
in a way.*
