Saturday
"Are you sure you want to play me? Every time we play, I kick your ass." Ken said when they got to the soccer field. Daisuke dropped his bag, took the ball from Ken and started kicking it around.
"If I don't play you, then how am I going to get good enough to win?" he replied.
"If you insist." Ken replied, stole the ball from Daisuke and scored. Ken scored four more goals before Daisuke sat down and got a water bottle from his bag. He took a large drink and got a weird look on his face.
"I don't know what's worse. Losing to you, or drinking hot water." Ken laughed and sat next to him. He took the water bottle and had a sip. He got the same look.
"Drinking hot water." He said. Daisuke lay down on the grass, and looked at the clouds.
"That one looks like a bunny."
"What?" Ken said.
"That cloud. It looks like a bunny." Daisuke pointed. Ken looked at the clouds.
"So it does," He laughed, "but that one looks like V-mon." he pointed to a different cloud.
"That one's like Wormon." Daisuke said.
"There's Gatomon."
"There's Digmon."
"There's Iori." Ken said with a chuckle.
"There's Miyako… " Daisuke said. Ken look at Daisuke. He had a dreamy look on his face. Ken grinned. *He's got it bad… *
"Speaking of Miyako, when are you going to ask her out? There's Hawkmon."
"What?!" Daisuke sat up. "Why would I ask Miyako out?" he said, blushing.
"I thought when you're in love with someone you asked that person out, that's all. There's Pixiemon." Ken said casually.
"What?! I don't… how did… I mean… is it that obvious?"
"To me anyway."
"I can't ask her out. She only thinks of me as a friend."
"Did she say that?"
"No…"
"Then how do you know?"
"I just do. That's all. Besides, I have a talent in liking people I can't be with."
"Well, at least you have a talent in something." Ken grinned.
"Hey!" Daisuke said, and shoved Ken. Ken laughed.
"Let's play some soccer." Ken said getting up.
"Sure." Daisuke said, and ran off kicking the ball. Ken sighed. He took off after him and stole the ball, scoring a goal.

"I love shopping!" Miyako said to Hikari. She and Hikari went into a clothing store.
"I always shop here." Hikari said. They went to the back where the hats were.
"Hey! That's Takeru's hat." Miyako said, picking up a hat identical to Takeru's.
"I know. I buy him a new one every Saturday." Hikari said and got one from off the shelf.
"I always wondered why he had so many of them." Miyako said. The two of them laughed.
"I love to buy him things." Hikari said, "and even through I buy him a new one every Saturday, he always acts surprised when I give it to him." She smiled. Miyako looked around the store. She hobbled over to the guy's shirts. *Hmm… Daisuke would look really good in this. * She thought as she picked out a shirt that was just like his jacket from the digital world.
"What are you looking at?" Hikari said from across the store. She came over.
"You know Daisuke's jacket from the digital world?"
"Daisuke loves that jacket." Hikari replied.
"I know. I was thinking of buying him this."
"It's just like it."
"I know." She smiled. "Think he would like it?"
"He would love it." Hikari replied. They paid for the clothing and left.
"I'm hungry. Let's go eat." Miyako suggested. Hikari agreed. They got to the food court.
"I'll find a table, and you get the food."
"OK. What do you want?" Hikari asked.
"McChicken combo with Sprite."
"'K. I'll be right back." The two split up. Miyako found a table and sat down. *God, I'm tired. * She thought. *The doctor said my ankle would be better in 2 or 3 weeks. * She looked at the shirt she bought. *I hope he likes it. Why did I buy it for him? Come on Miyako. You know why. You like him a lot. Admit it. * She argued to herself. *If only he didn't think of me as only a friend… * she sighed. Hikari watched Miyako find a table and sit down. *Poor Miyako. It would suck having a sprained ankle. * She ordered the food and stood to the side waiting for it to be ready. *She and Daisuke would make a cute couple. * Hikari thought as she let her mind wander. *And it would finally get Daisuke off my back. They're starting to act like a couple. Daisuke carrying her books everywhere for her and Miyako buying him a shirt. * She smiled to herself. *Maybe Hikari can get Takeru to help her play matchmaker… *
Later that day
"Can you come over?" Miyako said into the phone.
"Sure. I forgot my notebook there on Thursday." Daisuke said before hanging up.
*Oh my god, how do I give him it? * She thought, holding the bag with the shirt in her hand.
"Mom, I'm going outside for some air." She called to her mother in the other room.
"OK dear, just be careful."
*If there's one thing, I won't give it to him in front of my family. They would tease me about him being my boyfriend. Even if that is a nice thought… * she smiled to herself and sat on the steps that lead to her front door.
*Why would she want me to come over? * Daisuke asked himself. *Did I do something? * He walked faster than normal.
*Where is he? * She was growing impatient, partly from the shirt, partly because it was windy outside. *I wonder what he'll say? What will he do? * She imagined his reaction.
"This is the best present ever!"
"It was nothing."
"You are so thoughtful, and beautiful, I need to kiss you."
Miyako blushed at her thoughts. *That would be nice… * she didn't notice Daisuke until he tapped her shoulder.
"Earth to Miyako?" he waved a hand in front of her.
"Huh? Hi Daisuke. Here is your notebook." She said, taking it out of the bag and handing it to him.
"Thanks. What's with the bag?"
"Um, I was shopping with Hikari and I saw this and thought you might like it." She said, passing him the bag. He took it and looked inside.
"No way! Where did you get this?" he took it out of the bag and held it to his chest. "Except for the collar and that it's a dress shirt, this is my jacket!" he said. He put it down and took off his jacket and shirt to try it on. It fit perfectly. He smoothed the front and looked at himself.
"Do you like it?" she asked.
"Like it? I love it! Thank you so much!" he said, and spontaneously hugged her. She just smiled and hugged him back.
"Are you sure you want to play me? Every time we play, I kick your ass." Ken said when they got to the soccer field. Daisuke dropped his bag, took the ball from Ken and started kicking it around.
