********

The night seemed to breeze by into the morning. Sora was pretty excited for the half-day [ somewhat ] she had planned with Yamato. Waking up about Five in the morning, to start preparing for the events later, Sora began...recalling a familiar feeling, she felt a good years back ago. As Sora began packing edibles and snacks in a nifty knapsack, a memory occured to her.

***FlashBack***

It was about three or four years ago, in the Digiworld, when everyone [ the Original DigiDestines ] were trapped in the Digital World with no way to get out. It was Sora's birthday..and Sora was extremely surprised that her friends found out one of the biggest secret she had kept from everyone--her birthday.

"Hush everyone..She's coming!" Taichi whispered, peeking out from behind the large boulder he and the rest of the gang was hiding behind. Taichi eyed Sora, as she walked down the path carrying twigs and sticks in her hand, with Biyomon trailing behind her.

"Think this is going to work?" Yamato asked.

"Yeah..She hasn't been expecting anything ..yet. Or atleast I think .." Taichi said.

"Whatever.." Yamato muttered annoyed.

"This sure is exciting..Isn't this Hikari? I can't wait to see the look on Sora's face when she sees the surprise we've planned for her." Takeru whispered to Hikari.

"Yeah! I bet Sora's going to be real happy." Hikari whispered back.

"Quiet you too, We don't want to ruin the surprise, now do we?" Koushirou smiled.



"Alright Taichi Kamiya..Here's the woo--..Taichi? Yamato..? Mimi? Where is everyone?" Sora asked puzzled. "Oh no..What do you think happened to them Biyomon?" She began to worry.

Biyomon smirked. "Oh..I don't know.." She said, without much care.

"Biyomon! How can you be happy at a time like this? They could be in grave danger!"

Biyomon rolled her eyes, signaling to the secluded friends that now was the time to jump out and surprise the worried girl.

"SURPRISE!" The six other DigiDestines along with their Digimon jumped out, throwing streamers and bits of confetti at the speechless Sora.

Sora looked in awe at her friends. She couldn't help but smile at all the laughter and the joy, and how well-planned everything was. Sora tried to act dumb. "This is great you guys, but..What's..the surprise for?" She tried to keep a stern look on her face.

"You know Sora.." Yamato smiled, walking up to the girl. "You're Birthday."

Sora gasped in surprise. "How'd you find out?"

"A little bird told us.." Yamato laughed.

'Ugh..Oh man. He's ...He's so fine..I love his laughter..and..Get a grip Sora. He's too good for you..He won't like you..You're not pretty enough...Mimi's the one for him..It's always Mimi...But..Oh gosh..Look how..how blue his eyes are..' Sora thought. 'Get a grip..you. I'm not listening to you again..I know better than to listen to you..The last time I did..You didn't know how terrible and upset you made me feel. Stay out of this..I'm listening to my mind now, better than to a heart like you. I can't love anyone..Keep that in mind, heart..'

"A little Bird?" Sora snapped out of her dazed, and asked.

"More like a little Biyomon.." Koushirou corrected.

Sora turned over to the sheephish little pink bird. "C'mere Biyomon..." Sora giggled.

Biyomon jumped into her arms, and Sora nuzzed Biyomon on the beak with her nose.

Takeru and Hikari walked up to the laughing girl. "We made presents for you.." They said in unison.

"Presents?" Sora blinked, fluttering her eyelashes letting the Biyomon out of her arms. "How..lovely...Thank you.." She said..accepting the..poorly wrapped boxes. "Did...Taichi help you wrap..these?" Sora smirked.

"Hey..." Taichi mumbled. "I'm better at packaging things than you are, Sora. So I wouldn't be the one talking."

"Oh look..Our little Taichi's going to grow up and be a mail man." Yamato joked.

"Okay..fine..fine..Think whatever you guys. Well...what are you waiting for Sora..Open the presents!" Taichi demanded.

"Yeah..go ahead and show us what they got you, Sora!" Mimi said.

"Oh..Um." Sora stuttered. "Sure." And she carefully began wrapping whatever the little mystery inside was. She could not identify what on Earth the items were, but she did have to keep in mind that little kids handmade these items. Pulling out the falling-apart object, Sora thanked the kids for their efforts.

"Great! Now for..Cake!" Taichi chimed in.

"Taichi, we didn't -get- any cake.." Jyou said.

"Well..You're kind of wrong on that Jyou." Gomamon said.

"Wha..?" Jyou hesitated.

"Well, me and Yamato got together and we baked a ..special cake."

Sora blinked. "Why'd you guys go through all that trouble?"

"Because Sora..you're *special.* That's why it's a *special* cake.." Yamato mumbled.

Sora was a bit hurt by his tone, but showed no different facial expression than the one she had. Sora looked over to the tall blonde-haired boy. "Thanks Yamato.." And then she looked over to Gomamon. "Thanks Gomamon."

"So what are we waiting for? Let's have some cake you guys.." Koushirou suggested.

"Mmm-mmm! I'll agree with that one, Koushirou!" Tentomon smiled.

"Since it's Sora's Birthday, She should cut the cake." Yamato said.

Sora turned a bit red. "But you and Gomamon were the ones that made it.."

"Fine..Suite yourself.." Yamato replied.

Gabumon tugged on Yamato's pants. Yamato leaned over, and growled, "What do you want Gabumon?"

Gabumon whispered in the boy's ear. "Yamato, you've been acting so strange today. Why are you being so cold towards Sora?"

"I---what?" Yamato said; the things he had said to Sora, now whizzing over his head, which made him realize his mistake. "Forget it..I just--" Yamato stopped.

He never did finish the statement. Instead, he started a new one. "Okay Gomamon..let's cut the cake for everyone.." He said, in a lighter tone than the one he had just used.

"A slice for Biyomon... A slice for Mimi....A Slice for Jyou...A slice for Agumon...A slice for Palmon...A slice for Patamon...A slice for Takeru..."

And they continued, until everyone got their share of the cake. Or atleast Gomamon and Yamato had thought everyone got the share of the cake.




"That was a great cake, you guys!" Agumon complimented.

"Yeah..What did you guys use for the cake..?" Gatomon asked.

"Oh...well.." Yamato and Gomamon stared at each other nervously.

Gomamon quickly whispered into the spikey-haired boy's ear. "Should we tell them we borrowed the ingrediants from DigiTamamon's store and never returned it?"

"Um..No!" Yamato whispered back. "It's a secret..." Yamato said in his regular voice. He then noticed something. 'Hey..how come Sora didn't get a slice. Oh..I think she's a little bit upset over how..cold I was toward her..a few hours ago. Ugh..'

"Hey Sora.." Yamato called out.

"Yeah, Yamato?" She replied.

"I'm..erm..Sorry for the way I acted towards you earlier. I noticed you didn't get a slice of cake. " He offered his plate to her. "Here..Want Mine..?"

Sora was tinkering around with the little..pillow-like..object Hikari and Takeru had supposedly sewed for her for the present she had gotten. She smiled lightly at his offer. "Oh..um..er...Thank you. That's..that's...very kind of you, Yamato..But..No thanks. I'm not really hungry right now."

"Oh...So I did a kind thing for once.." Yamato grinned.

"Yeah Mr. Scrooge." Sora giggled.

"Scrooge am I? Humbug." Yamato smirked. He had a great time, making shy girl laugh.

"You know..Christmas is coming up.. So Uncle Scrooge, is it going to be humbug until then?" Sora laughed.


Mimi interupted from the short distance. She was sitting on a log, flirting with the two guys: Koushioru and Jyou. "Hey! Look at the two lovebirds!" Mimi giggled.

"Lovebirds?!" Yamato and Sora turned to each other..face to face. Blushing furiously, they walked in opposite directions. Sora heading towards the talkative Mimi, and Yamato heading off somewhere to find a place where he could get some a lone time.

"Thanks Mimi..I really needed that.." Sora said, a bit annoyed tossing the pillow-like object at the giggling girl on the log. "Now he'll think I like him.." Sora dreaded.

"But..You -do- like him..Right..?" Mimi grinned.

"Um..What?! Who told you that?!" Sora exclaimed, extremely embarrassed.

"Come on Sora..isn't it obvious?" Koushirou added.

"I know what you guys are doing..You're just toying..with me..I'll see you guys later.." She said, somewhat upset leaving the scene.

"Uh-oh..You think we made her mad?" Jyou worried.

"Nah..She'll get over it.." Mimi replied sharply. "After all..We were just kidding. You know..Sora doesn't really get mad over that stuff..but this time she did. She usually would laugh along with us...unless...She really -does- like him."




Sora's walking pace slowed down, until it eventually came to a stop. She could hear the laughter, all the way back in the camping area. Sora thought about what Mimi said. "Look at the Two Lovebirds!"

'Maybe I do have a crush on him...'


'Lovebirds..?' Sora thought to herself... ' Pfft. I wish..'

**End of Flashback**

"Lovebirds? I wish..." Sora said to herself..as she finished packing the last packages of snacks. She shook her head slightly, getting out the last few memories of that long flashback. "Those were the days...Yamato sure has changed since that time. "And I think..nothing's changed with me. I think, I still like him."

Sora turned her head to the kitchen clock. Six AM. Enough time for her to freshen up a bit, and get dressed out of her Pajamas. Sora had no worries. Today was going to be a fine then. But then..Something hit her. Did Yamato remember..?

*****Yamato's house..or apartment..whatever*

Yamato groaned a bit, as he tossed and turned in his bed. There was a loud pounding sound on his room door.'

"WAKE UP YAMATO!" A voice yelled from outside his room.

Yamato awoke. "Shut up! I'm trying to sleep!" And before he laid his head on on his pillow, he took a glance on the clock. "Oh..Shit!"

The clock read Nine AM. Yamato quickly jumped out of bed, and quickly changed out of his Pajamas. When he finally 'answered' the door, he found an enraged little brother.

"Yamato! I've been pounding on your door since Six! You locked your door, and when your alarm clock rang, I could hear it through my bed walls! SO, I've been pounding on your door ever since to tell you to turn it off. You sleep through *Anything* Yamato!"

"I know..I know...I know! You don't have to remind me.." Yamato took off his shirt, and turned it from inside out to..Outside in [ in other words..x.x; how people are supposed to wear shirts. ]. Now if you'll excuse me! I'm late! Ugh..Sora's going to be SO mad!"

"Late for what..? Oh...Your Date with Sora..Right..Right.." Takeru smiled. "I guess you don't want your breakfast either? I ordered pizza..with those little pineapples on it that you love so much."

"It's not a date, Takeru! ..Sorry..it sounds delicious..But..But..I have to get to the park now!"

"YAMATO WAIT!"

"What?!?! I'm already two hours late! I don't need another hour to pass by."

"..Put on..Some..Pants...and..take..off..that dress.."

"Dress?" Yamato looked down at the messily-selected attire. "Oh man..How did a DRESS Get in my closet? ..MOM!"

[A/N: Matt's Parents are living together now..okay? Just..reminding you. ]

*****

Sora had waited patiently in the park. She had been there long enough to see the sun rise, and head up above the enterprising stores of Odaiba. Sora had been sitting on a bench in the peaceful park for some time now. She was about to leave..when she saw a messily-dress figure skid over to where she was sitting.

"SORA!" The figure panted, catching his breath. "I'm SO sorry I'm late! You See..Um..I..." The figure stuttered to come up with an excuse.

The figure sat next to Sora, still trying to apologize and make up an excuse.

"It's alright Yamato. Seven was too early.. .. For you atleast. I..I think I should be on my way now..I'll...I'll see you later Yama." Sora said, rather flustered and upset.

Yamato held her back, placing his hands on her arm. "No...Sora..wait.." Yamato said calmly. "I want to talk to you.."

'Talk..to me..?' Sora sighed a bit..and sat down, listening.

"I'm really sorry..Sora. Please forgive me..P-L-E-A-S-E...!" Yamato pleaded..adding in his little "puppy dog" face.

Sora looked at his face, and bursted into laughter.

"So I guess..That means you forgive me..? The puppy dog face always works.." Yamato smiled.

Sora wiped a few droplets of tear away. "Yeah..I'll forgive you. No Yamato..You just looked so -Stupid- with a face like that. Oh..You looked hilarious...! .."

"I looked what..?" Yamato said dumbfounded. "Oh..well..Let's be on our way then."

Sora smiled and agreed. "Okay..well..Yamato..Can I ask you a favor?"

Yamato grinned. "Sure Sora! Anything!"

"Don't ever do that face again.."

"Er...Right! Okay.."


Yamato stood up, and offered Sora a hand. Sora greatly accepted it, and he pulled Sora out of her seat.

"Why thank you..You're such a gentlemen." Sora laughed.

"Am I?" Yamato grinned. "So..where are we going..to hike.. Milady?"

"Erm..I was thinking..on the hiking path."

"Oh..Right.

The hike was a nice and cool, long one. It let the two to finally get close to each other. A few hours had passed, since they started hiking, without a stop. Finally, they gave up on exhausion, and called for a lunch break.

"Here Yamato...here's a bit of an Egg Omelette I made this morning.." Sora said, as she handed some to Yamato.

Yamato took a little nibble of it. It was delicious. "Wow Sora, You sure are a great cook."

"Thanks..But..I'm you're an even better one....Ehh..What's..that smell..?"

"Ugh..I don't know Sora. I smell it too..I.." Yamato reached in his pocket, and pulled out what was a moldy item in a sandwich bag. Well, atleast it was in some sort of container, and the thing itself wasn't growing in Yamato's pocket.

"Eew..." Sora groaned.

"Um...How did that get in there?" Yamato laughed nervously. "I'll just...toss..this over to the side.." And he did what he said.

"You know what Yamato? You aren't going to touch me with -those- hands. You better wash them or something.." Sora warned.

"Oh...Heh..Hey Sora.." Yamato smirked..pretending to reach for her hands.

"Mr. Germs..Get away from me..!" Sora joked in a false, high pitched voice.

The two laughed.

Yamato admitted something a bit accidentally. "You know..it's really great being out here with you, Sora."

Yamato put a hand over his mouth, a bit shocked at what flew out of his mouth. Sora turned bright red. Saying that wasn't hat bad..now was it?

"Yeah..It's nice being here with you too Yamato.."

The two smiled sheepishly at each other. A slight hissing sound interupted the moment.

Sora gasped in a bit of fear. "Did you hear that?"

"Yeah..I did."

"What is it?"

"I don't know.."

"I think it found your Sandwich Yamato..And I think it's after you..o0o0o0o0o0o.."

"Very funny Sora.."

A snake slithered out of the light shrubery that surrounded the area.

"My Goodness. Yamato...I think it's poisonous! Yamato! It's after you! Watch out!!!" Sora warned in panic.

How unlucky to find a snake at a time like this. Some few miles out into the woods, and along comes a snake.

The snake coiled up around the area in which the two had their lunch break. Sora tried to stay calm, so it wouldn't rouse up the creature, but Yamato [having to be a guy..] had to act all "macho" and try to kill the snake.

"Yamato! Stop! It's going to bite you!"

"No..I got it..See..?" He continued swinging a large piece of wood at the creature. "It's going away n--"

The worst thing could happen. He was bitten.

The frightened snake slithered away.
