ROTFLMAO!!!!!! I'm sorry about the Sapphie thing… I needed SOMETHING. That's tacky beyond belief.
********************
Okay, I wrote some more, but it's not that great b/c I
have NO idea what to write. This is starting to get silly. I decided to name
Matt something other than Sapphie, hahahaha… sorry, that amuses me. Anyway,
that's about all… no, no, wait… there was something else… oh yeah! This is like
my… ??2nd?? fanfic when it comes to romance and I just sort of
jotted stuff down and yet more people have reviewed this story!?!? I wasn't
even serious when I wrote this. It was a spur of the moment thing and has
absolutely no grammar! Please go read my story "People Die". It's in the HoRrOr
(muawahahahaha) section. It contains some sorato…
Oh yeah, how could I forget? I do NOT own Digimon
b/c if I did you KNOW there would be so much more sorato…
********************
"Sapphie." The guy concluded almost forlornly. He wished
that Sora would remember him. His new name seemed rather childish and it
disturbed him to a slight point. "How about something else?"
Sora raised an eyebrow. It appeared he didn't like her
designated name. 'Well, that's what he gets for not telling me his name… but if
it bothers him that much then I'll try to think of another.'
"Something else?" She thought for a few moments.
"Something else like… Blondie?"
"NO!" The guy said suddenly. Sora was taken aback his
sudden outburst. He blushed and looked away. "My friends call me that
sometimes. It drives me crazy."
"Oh, I see…" Sora blinked blankly and shrugged. "Got any
other suggestions?" He asked hoping that she'd think of something. Sora
shrugged again. "I don't know. I'll just call you whatever comes to my mind."
"That's a relief to know." The guy snorted sarcastically.
Sora gave him a dirty look.
"Hey, you could always tell me your name." She griped.
This time it was his turn to shrug.
"Don't you remember anything about me?" he asked.
Sora tried to think. He was in some of her memories in
most of them that she didn't try to keep. That was sad too. He must have met
her at the most inopportune time in her life. Too bad. He was starting to get
cuter with each growing moment.
"I remember that you liked soy sauce on your eggs." She
stated thinking back a little. "Or maybe it was salsa."
'She remembers that?!?!?! Of [all] the things that's the
[only] thing to come to her mind! What has happened to Sora?' The guy
contemplated the last time he'd seen Sora. It was when they left the digital
world. Surely she remembered the digiworld.
"Okay, so… yeah. I should be getting home. It's late."
Sora set some money on the table and stood up. She stretched and turned back to
the guy who was also paying and sliding out of the booth. "You should go find
your friends, Goldie Locks."
The guy chuckled partially at his name and partially
because she thought they'd still be around. "They've left."
"Oh?" Sora again raised a questioning eyebrow.
"They don't hang around in one place for too long." He
laughed. "I'll walk you home."
"Why?"
"Because it will make me feel better? I don't know. It's
just a nice offer." The guy took Sora's hand and led her out of the coffee
shop. She shook his hand away making him smile. "Still nervous?"
"Yes." Sora said wirily. He shook his head with hilarity
and they walked through the mall. Most of the little stores were closing up and
hardly anyone else was around.
They stopped in front of the doors and stared outside. The
rain was coming down harder than before so that even if you had an umbrella
you'd get soaked. Sora sighed and walked through the doors the guy uneasily
following her.
"What? It's just water. Nothing big." Sora went through
the last door and was immediately drenched to the bone. It was cold but not
enough to bother her. She turned around to see that the guy was still in the
mall staring out. She laughed and started walking down the sidewalk leaving him
there. 'Guess he wont be walking me home.'
"HEY! Wait!"
'Okay never mind.' Sora looked over her shoulder as he ran
up behind her. He slid and grabbed onto her to keep from falling. Sora laughed
and pushed him away causing him to fall on his rear.
"Ow. Thanks a lot." He muttered. Sora laughed some more.
"You're quite welcome." He grinned up at her and seized her wrist yanking her
down beside him. "AH!" Sora cried out as she dropped beside him. He grinned
impishly at her. "That's what you get."
"So why wont you tell me your name?" Sora said out of the
blue. He stopped smiling and fidgeted a little.
"I want you to remember me. I don't want to have to remind
you of who I am." He sighed and jumped to his feet grabbing Sora by the hand
and pulling her up too. "Now." He started. "You shouldn't be in the rain.
You'll get sick."
Sora scoffed. "Me? Sick? I haven't been sick since I was
really little. Come on, what is a bit of rain going to hurt?"
:: The Next Morning ::
The phone rang. It rang some more. Rolling over Sora
groaned and slammed her hand onto the phone. She groggily picked it up and
using all her effort put it against her ear.
"Hello?" She muttered into the receiver.
"Hey Sora. Did I wake you?"
"Yes you did." Sora yawned and sat up in her bed. "What
time is it?"
"Some where around 10."
"You woke me up at 10?! I still have an hour of sleep
left!" Sora whined. She did a double take on the voice coming from the other
end of the line. "Um… who is this?"
"Am I so easily forgotten once more?"
'Oh! It's him!' Sora jumped when she realized whom she was
speaking with yet couldn't help but smile at the fact that he called [her]. "Oh
hi. So it's you who wakes me up at this ungodly hour."
"Yes. Yes. Me: the one who has been forgotten forever."
The guy sounded to Sora as if he was trying to hide the sting in his voice. She
could almost see those perfect blue eyes dimming again.
"So… why'd you call?" Sora asked once she felt the
uncomfortable silence was getting overbearing.
"I thought maybe if you weren't sick you'd like to do
something." He replied the painfulness in his voice gone now. But when he added
"Maybe you'll remember me" it was there again.
"Uh… sure. I don't think I have to work today and even if
I do I can con my mother for a day off." Sora said in a cheerful voice. The
blonde's voice was becoming nearly controlling over her reactions in a way that
she didn't want him to be sad.
"Alright then. What do you want to do?"
Sora breathed a sigh of relief inwardly at his same
cheerful note. "I haven't been to the park since I was really young. Feel up to
a walk?"
"It's raining!" He squeaked.
"And your point is?" Sora laughed. She heard him whimper
uneasily on the other end. "Are you made of sugar or something?"
"Are you saying I'm sweet?" he asked back. Sora was glad
he couldn't see her blush. "No, I'm not made of sugar. It's just… well last
time I danced in the rain I got really sick and my band missed a major hook up
that night because I couldn't sing."
"You must be very important if they couldn't play without
your singing." Sora said softly again glad he couldn't see her blush from her
obvious compliment. She sighed. "Listen, the rain isn't coming down hard. It's
only a drizzle. You wont get sick. Trust [me]."
She heard the guy sigh deeply contemplating the idea.
"Alright. If that's what you want."
'He's so nice to think of me…' Sora thought almost
dreamily to herself. "I guess I could meet you by the statue of that… thing in
thirty minutes."
"I'll see you there!"
With that they said goodbye and hung up. Sora sat on her
bed for a few moments. She did have the incredible feeling that she knew him
from somewhere. His name danced at the tip of her tongue and yet it was still
unknown to her.
After getting dressed quickly Sora grabbed a jacket and
dashed out the door. She passed her mom who was walking back carrying groceries
and yelled "Hey mom! I'm going to meet a friend in the park! I'll be back later!"
"Don't think so!" Her mom yelled after her. Sora skidded
to a stop. She knew that it would be hard for her to get away. Sora sauntered
back to her mother's side.
"Is this person you're meeting guy or girl?" Her mother
questioned protectively.
"Guy."
"What's his name?"
Sora hesitated. "I don't know. He wont tell me…"
"And you expect me to go meet this [unknown] person who
just happens to be a [guy]?" Mrs. Takenouchi had a very doubtful look on her
face. Sora groaned and looked at her mom with pleading eyes. "Is he good
looking and charming?"
"You have no idea!" Sora breathed. Her hand immediately
flew to her mouth when she realized what she'd said causing her to blush also.
Here mom laughed.
"Okay. Fine. But I want you back before five because I'm
going to need help making those orders for that wedding." Her mother gave in.
Sora jumped with excitement. "Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!"
She skipped down towards the park like a little child only
slowing her pace when she saw the guy sitting on a bench talking with a girl.
She felt a twinge of jealously but shook it away. 'Why should I be
jealous?'
He apparently saw her too because he stood up quickly and
rushed to greet her. "Hey Sora. Glad you could come."
"Uh… yes…" Sora leaned around him to look at the girl
who'd also stood up. She glanced back towards the guy smiling. "Your
girlfriend?"
He blushed. "No." Sora smiled wider at his obvious
embarrassment. She again looked at the girl and recognized a certain feature.
The hair was a bit wild. Sora was pretty sure she'd seen the girl before in
school.
"Who's this?" The girl asked when she walked up.
"Jun this is Sora. Sora this is Jun." The blonde said
quickly. He grabbed Sora's hand and began to drag her away. "It's been nice to
talk to you Jun but Sora and I need to get going."
Sora stopped retracting her hand away from the guy. A
roguish smile crossed her face. "Why don't you come with us Jun? We're going
for a walk…"
A flush of horror crossed the blonde's face. He stared at
Sora in shock. 'What does she think she is doing? This is [not] funny at all!'
But there was nothing for him to worry about because Jun frowned.
"I can't. I have to go home in about two minutes." Jun
came across Sora as devastated. The poor girl was obviously madly in love and
was saddened she had to turn down such an offer.
"That's okay. Maybe some other time?" Sora continued to
edge. Jun nodded and glimpsed at her watch.
"I hope some other time is soon!" She said before running
off not without giving the guy a wink of course.
After she had left from sight and hearing the guy turned
angrily on Sora. "That was not funny at all."
"I thought it was." Sora gilded. He gave her a dirty look
when she rolled her eyes. "Come on. She's not that bad. I think the two of you
would look great together. Wild hair thing going on and all…"
"Not funny." He repeated more stricken with irritation
this time. Sora's smile dropped into a frown and she began to walk away. The
guy watched her for a moment or two before catching up to her. The two walked
in silence.
'Okay so they wouldn't look good together. They'd look
awful as a couple. He doesn't need to be so uptight though.' Sora couldn't
believe such a little thing got under his skin so easily.
'I can't understand why she did that. That was very rude.
I thought Sora was supposed to be caring. She's so different…" The guy shook
his head with disappointment.
"So." Sora said becoming overwhelmed by the silence. "Got
any brothers, sisters, or anything of the such?"
"I have a brother."
"Do I know him? Or did I?"
"Yes."
Again the overwhelming silence. Sora sighed. Tired of the
silent war going on between the two of them she took hold of the guy's hand and
pulled him towards the swings nearby.
"Let's swing. I haven't since I was young." Sora hopped
quickly into a swing. He sat down in the one beside her and smiled.
"Since you were young? You still are young!" He teased.
"At heart maybe." She replied with a naive smile. He
leaped out of his swing and stopped her in mid air. Completely taken by
surprise Sora froze. She stared up into his twinkling blue eyes of mischief.
"Would you like to dance?"
Sora's eyes widened with perplexity. "What?"
"Would you like to dance?" He appeared completely serious
and pulled Sora out of the swing. "My mom used to dance with me in the rain. It
was so long ago… So what do you say?"
"Um… sure…" Sora replied uneasily. She wasn't that great
of a dance and with the rain she'd be even worse.
She got a little edgy when he brought her closer. She
probably would have pushed him away but his eyes continued to draw her in. They
seemed to be the only thing that she remembered about him.
Sora slid a little in the mud grabbing onto him to keep
from falling. He smiled at her and held her tighter making Sora blush slightly.
Reaching up he brushed wet strands of hair out of Sora's eyes. Without the
support of his hand Sora fell into the mud sliding into his feet and causing
him to stumble but not fall.
"AH!" She cried out. Lifting her hand up she made a
disgusted face at the icky mud covering it. Hearing the laughter behind her she
reeled around and glared at the guy. "This is your fault! Help me up!"
He chuckled. "No. Not when you're covered in mud. I don't
want to get dirty."
"You're wet! What's the difference?!?!"
"Let's see: mud and rain… how are they different?" He
mocked her with laughter in his voice.
Sora scoffed and seized a handful of mud tossing it his
way. It landed right in the middle of his shirt. The blonde gasped with alarm.
He stared at Sora with his mouth hanging open.
To justify herself Sora threw another wad of mud at him.
This time he dodged but was still clipped. Sora got up and smeared the clump of
mud on his shirt. "Now you're muddy [and] wet."
"I can't believe… why did you… my shirt… you're in trouble
now!" A wave of naughtiness washed the shock away from his face and he reached
down and got a handful of mud.
Sora laughed and began to run away but found that he hand
captured her hand and wasn't letting her go. She felt herself being pulled back
and then cold mud was smeared on her arm.
"Hey! I'm already muddy!" She protested.
"Too bad."
Once he had let go of her satisfied Sora dived down and
scooped some mud up. She turned and threw making it land on his shoulder. He
made a revolted face and knocked the clump away.
Sora laughed like a little elf and took off. It was hard
for her to run because she was laughing so hard. She could hear him right
behind her and soon felt his arms wrap around her shoulders and bring her in
close to his body.
He felt her tense up and grinned. Her laughter died down
and he could just about feel her heart beating faster. He was surprised that
she didn't push him away and wondered if she was beginning to remember him. Of
course he'd never gotten close to her like this before anyway.
He leaned forward and sang at a soft whisper in her ear
"Here comes the rain again, falling on my head like a new emotion. I want to
walk in the open wind; I want to dive into your ocean. Is it raining with you…"

So what do you think? I'm stopping here right now because
I'm paying more attention to what has happened in NY. This last part has been
kind of offbeat. I'll only write more if anybody wants me too.
And God Bless America
and its current terrorist attack.
