ULTIMATE ROWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAIORA 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chapter II
"Sora honey," her mother called from the sitting room, "Matt's here!"
"Matt, just a sec!" she called, placing the tall hat atop her flaming hair.
Walking to the mirror, she surveyed herself. She had to admit to herself that the dress her mother picked out did look good on her, even though it was pink. The top was done like a corset, in a soft pink with gold and lace trimmings, closing around her torso tightly. The sleeves were a soft pink until they reached the elbows where they fanned out into a wide white satin sleeve. The skirt was so long that it swept the floor. On her feet she wore pink sandals.
*It feels like I just stepped into Mimi's wardrobe*, she cringed involuntarily.
Her mother applied a light touch of makeup to accentuate her features, not underplay them. She couldn't help but smile when she saw herself; she looked so beautiful. And with the princess hat on, she looked stunning!
Sora slowly stepped out of her bedroom into the sitting room. Even though it was only Matt, she felt shy. Maybe it was because of the makeup on her face. Maybe it was the dress revealed the curves of her breasts, which was really risqué for her. Or maybe it was because she knew that Tai would be seeing her the same way she'd seen herself in the mirror.
Whatever it was, Matt noticed, and it made him smile. "You look beautiful!"
"Thanks." She whispered taking the pink petticoat and draping it over her shoulders.
The both walked slowly to the car when Matt finally spoke. "You're shy, why? I mean, you know that I'm---"
"No…" she smiled rolling her eyes, "it's not like that, it's Tai… I mean… I guess it's Tai… I don't know… I mean I…"
"You like Tai," he whispered to himself, smiling, "of course!"
"No…" she blushed wildly, "I don't like Tai, I mean…"
"You're too confused, don't justify yourself to me." He smiled kissing her cheek.
Sora climbed into the car smiling.
When they reached the Fair, Matt opened the car door for her to step out. It was hard work getting her and that dress out of the front seat, but in the end, her goal was finally accomplished. Taking the petticoat off in the humid air, she placed the hat atop her head again.
"For Tai I may presume?" Matt laughed.
"Shut up! I hate you!"
"But you love Tai." He chuckled making kissing noises in her ear.
"I'm going to kill you!" she laughed shoving him away, causing her to step on the hem of her dress and stumble. Closing her eyes, she braced herself ready to feel the pavement hit her body, but instead she felt a pair of strong arms reach out and catch her.
Sora didn't need to look up to realize that it was Tai who caught her, but for some reason, she felt she had to. Finally looking up into those intense brown eyes, they drew her into a gaze so fierce that she didn't realize that he was holding her around the waist, and in turn she had her arms wrapped around his neck.
When the realization finally struck her, he could feel her body tense against his. She pulled away from him, looking away from his eyes. "Thanks Tai."
"No prob." He grinned knowingly.
Sora noticed Sunny standing beside Tai with her emerald green gown. Her dark caramel skin seemed to glow from the sharp contrast in colors, yet was complimented beautifully. Her black curly hair was piled atop her head in a loose bun with plenty of stray curls, and atop her tuft of hair was a rhinestone tiara.
"Hey Sunny!" she smiled, her eyes twinkling with joy.
"Hey Sor." She smiled, glancing from Matt to Tai suspiciously. "C'mon guys, let's get some junk food from the stands, I'm starving!"
Munching on popcorn, cotton candy, and other miscellaneous foods, they walked up aisles, ducked under tents, and threw food at each other. As they were walking through the main aisle, Sunny stopped abruptly, looking up enchanted.
"What?" Sora asked, mistaking the direction of Sunny's gaze and looking up at the sky.
"There's a hurlie whirl, wanna' get on?" she asked Sora.
"Sorry, they make me sick!"
"I'll go." Matt smiled, letting go of Sora's arm.
"We'll meet you guys later?" Asked Tai.
"Yeah," they repeated together, then dashing for the waiting line.
"Kids these days, they grow up so fast…" Sora began.
"… and then they want to forget you even exist!" Tai finished.
As they walked down the aisle, they joked and talked like the old friends that they were. Soon Tai stopped at on of the tents.
"What?" she asked oblivious to his thoughts.
"Madame Rosa, you want your fortune told?"
"As long as she's not like Miss Cleo, tellin' us stuff that we already know!"
"C'mon Sor," Tai grinned, " you might fall in love with a guy that's tall dark and handsome!"
*Already have* she thought looking away. After the color drained from her cheeks, she resumed her gaze. "That is soooooooo cliché."
"C'mon," he grinned taking her hand and leading her inside.
Sitting at a small round card table was a woman, dressed in many contrasting scarves. Surprisingly she was quite young and beautiful. They'd expected to see some old fart with tons of makeup slapped everywhere like Mimi from the Drew Carey show. She looked about late twenties, early thirties, with long curly brown hair. Her skin was a soft bronze and her cheekbones naturally tented.
"My name is Madame Rosa," she purred with an indistinguishable accent, "who would like to go first?"
Sora looked up scornfully at Tai. "Ladies first." He flashed her a grin.
"Fine, I'll bite the bullet if you're too chicken!"
"Bawk, bawk!" he grinned, flapping his arms.
"What would you like to know about," she asked softly, "love, your future, wealth, …"
"Love." Tai spoke.
"My future first." She piped up.
"Ok." She whispered looking deeply into her crystal ball. Waving her hands around it dramatically, she began, "I see a journey set before you. One you have ventured before. Yet this shall be more perilous, and more personal. You will not travel alone. You know the associates who will travel with you, and you all have a special bond. I cannot say if you will succeed, for you make your own fate, but I will say this, hold your friends dear to you. For you will meet many more, and not all will be as faithful as those who hold a past with you."
Sora turned to look him in the eye. *Could she be talking about the Digital World?* they asked each other without words.
Turning back to face her, Sora decided to change the subject. "Ok, tell me about love?"
A small chuckle escaped her lips as she read Sora's thoughts. "I know that you're trying to lighten your heart now, but your love life is nothing straightforward. Your heart is already laden with emotions foreign to your innocent heart, and you're confused by them. Your heart is full of love, yet you are too afraid to express it. Your life has already been written for you, and if follows a path much different than you think. It is your choice to choose your way to follow, but soon it will become very confusing, and their differences will start to blur together. The only advice I have is to follow your heart, it's the most reliable compass, and it will point you in the right direction. Always remember," she spoke looking up at Tai, "both of you! It's always the choices we make today that affect our world tomorrow."
Sora stood up, more in awe than in the realization that her turn was up. Turning to look at Tai, their gazes held as an understanding past between them with unspoken words uttered.
Sitting in Sora's seat, he looked at the fortuneteller fiercely, "What shall be first?" she asked.
"Future." He replied, his face cold as stone as not to betray his emotions.
"You are one of the companions on her journey. You shall lead like a brave King, for although this journey shall seem like another adventure, you will find it to be extremely personal. You will be faced with many discussions, but remember, 'The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.' You hold the lives of many, good and evil, in your hands. Pray that you will do what's right and not only what's expected of you. This is all I can say of your future, for both of you have a heavy load to carry, and I cannot predict the outcome. Just remember my words, they will come in handy when you least expect them." She whispered looking up at him.
Tai stared directly in her eyes. The large almond orbs were a clear gray, making it obvious that she was American. For her young years, they seem to hold wisdom beyond words. They called a knowledge that seemed a foreign language to others, but her native tongue. Their mysteriousness seemed to kindle Tai's curiosity.
Finally after long moments of silence, he spoke. "Love."
"You speak the words so clearly and boldly," she whispered, peering back into her ball, "for you already know your feelings, but have yet to reveal them. But her mind is clouded, full of a fear unknown to you or any that you know. There are things in her past, terrible, terrible things, yet she is not aware of them yet. She is confused and scared, don't try to push her, for you'll only push her further away, and eventually into the arms of another. If the realization occurs when the time comes, you will have her forever as your Queen at the left side of your throne, but if you falter, all will be lost," she looked at him in the eyes for her next statement, "These instructions I give to you. Comfort her in her times of need, for your love is a fragile one, with one tremor, the entire thing could fall and shatter like an expensive vase. Consider her feeling as well as your own, love is a partnership, you are divided no longer; you are one. And finally, love her with all of your heart, for there is no one like her in the whole world, and if you loose her, you shall never be happy again." She ended,
Both adolescents looked at her bewildered. They stood there in awe, not sure to believe her ramblings or discard them as merely recreation. The only thing they knew for sure was that she knew about the Digital World.
"Thanks." Tai muttered standing up swiftly.
Taking Sora's hand, he quickly led her away from the tent and to a quiet spot on the outskirts of the Fair where they could talk.
"Wow!" Sora gasped sitting on a tree stump.
"Yeah." Tai gasped in amazement, sitting on the grass across from her.
"Do you think she was talking about the Digiworld? Do you think we'll have to go back?" she whispered eagerly.
"Maybe." He frowned, looking up.
"What is it?" she whispered, a note of concern in her voice, "is that love thing troubling you?" she guessed.
Suddenly his swift gaze came up to meet her. The intensity of his dark eyes made her catch her breath. He looked so handsome, especially with the moonlight dancing in his eyes. Yet for some reason, his eyes begged her to be completely serious.
She could feel his eyes searching her whole. Roaming the length of her absurdly clad body, her stopped at her heart just behind her left breast. He seemed to dwell there for a long time, searching for something elusive. He obviously had not found it when he continued his search, this time in her eyes entering her soul.
Fighting all the urges to keep them open, she closed her eyes, declining all admission to the most secret place in the whole of her.
After long moments of silence, she opened her eyes and spoke. "So who is she?"
Tai, who had not taken his eyes from her, blinked in confusion. "Who?"
"Your Queen." She smiled trying to hide the hurt oozing from her heart.
"I don't know." He smiled standing up swiftly.
Sora watched Tai's handsome figure. He stood before her tall and eminent. His head held high, his jaw square, and his hands firm. His body was strong and limber, ready to take on all that he was given. His face was gentle and beautiful, ready for all his servants to praise him for his kindness and greatness. His eyes strong and passionate, he was ready to reign with justice and rule with pity.
"You already look like a King." She whispered still gazing at his physique.
Tai looked down at his Queen, although she didn't know it yet. Her beauty was as boundless as the oceans and sky, yet her heart was weighed down by some unspeakable sadness. A sadness that shown in her eyes with each glance, yet oblivious to its possessor.
"And you look like my Queen." He smiled noting her attire.
Sora, lost in his chocolate-kissed eyes, took the hand he offered her and stood up. Both of them lost completely in one another made no attempt to move in any direction except the one closer to one another. As their bodies moved closer, their gazes were not disturbed. With his free hand, he slowly swept away a lock of flyaway hair in front of her eyes.
Her eyes suddenly closed as his fingers swept her face, a small sigh released from her lips. He could almost taste the anticipation on her lips as they gazed at one another once more. Their faces were inches closer and closer with Sor on her tiptoes. Then softly, their lips touched so softly, so sweetly.
It was Sora who jumped back in surprise. How could something so simple, so barely there, be so intense? Their lips fit together like puzzle pieces, curve to curve. It was as if heaven had made them exclusively for one another. That terrified her!
Before Tai could assemble a string of words together, her eyes welled with tears and ran down her cheeks. "Tai, I'm sorry." She cried before she fled.
"Sora wait!" Tai called following her, but through the maze of tents, scarves and banners, it didn't take him very long to loose her.
Running around like a crazy woman in hysterics, she finally found Matt and Sunny. Catching up with them, she grabbed Matt's arm. Both whirled around at the same time to see a very disturbed Sora.
"Sora honey, what's wrong?" She asked noting the mascara running in black rivers from her swollen eyes.
"Guys, I'm going home ok?" she whispered turning to flee.
Matt caught her arm. "Sora, where's Tai?"
"I don't know… I… and …" she was so incoherent she couldn't form a sentence. Suddenly a great sob came out in a great hiccough.
"C'mon, let me take you home." He said in a firm tone, leading her away. He looked back at Sunny standing there uncertainly. "Sunny, you'll find Tai and get a ride home alright, huh?"
"Yeah, just make sure she gets home safely, see ya'."
She watched as Matt placed his arms around her shoulders, guiding her slowly to the parking lot where his mom's clean black jeep stood.
Sighing heavily, she turned in search of Tai. It didn't take too long, when Tai burst forth from one of the tents.
"Sora…" he breathed, panting heavily,
"She left with Matt, what happened, she was crying?"
"I don't know," he answered clutching his chest, a sincere look in his eyes. "We went to a fortuneteller, she told some stuff, and then--"
"You kissed her." Sunny smiled.
"How'd you know?" he gasped, astonished.
"It's written all over your faces. C'mon let's go home, forget about tonight, she'll come to her senses someday." She smiled grabbing his arm and leading him towards his car.
Tai smiled, her words comforted him, somehow. He only hoped that she'd come to her senses when the time arose when she had to decide.
"C'mon," Tai followed, "let's get some ice cream before I drop you off."
