This was an idea floating around for a while. I finally captured the meaning of it, and put it down on paper. Please review!
The Soccer Ball: Prologue-Moving Away
Takenouchi Sora sighed restlessly. The five-year-old was moving away from her beloved home in Odaiba. Of course, her family moved many times. This time, however, she had outside friends. She was going to miss them terribly.
It was the day for saying good-bye. She would especially miss one boy… her best friend… Yagami Taichi…
"Sora-chan! Let's hurry to the Yagamis! We must leave soon!" Mrs. Takenouchi told her daughter.
Sora obediently hurried into the family car. She was glad she was going to see Tai, but there was another feeling… unexplainable.
Sora was a tomboy. She had shoulder-length russet-coloured hair and fiery hazel-coloured eyes. She always wore jeans—no skirts or dresses.
The Takenouchis arrived at the Yagami apartment.
Sora leaped out of the car. "Tai!" she yelled.
"Sora…" he murmured. Tai took Sora's hand. "C'mon, I need to give you something."
He had big dark chestnut-brown hair and milk-chocolate-coloured eyes.
Sora was taken by surprise. "Okay, sure…"
They entered Tai's messy room. "Here," he said handing Sora a package. "Open the card."
Sora opened the card. She couldn't read it, though. It didn't make sense. It was in some sort of… code.
"What?" she finally asked, giving up to Taichi's game.
"Mirror," Tai replied using little words, dragging Sora to the mirror. He took the card and opened it.
Sora stared into the mirror. "I will miss you, Sora. Please don't forget me," she read.
"Yeah, and when you're fourteen, you'll come back here… and… and… we'll marry someday," Taichi said. "Promise?"
Sora smiled. "Yeah, promise. When I'm fourteen," she echoed. She held out her pinky for a pinky promise… a promise surely kept.
"Sora-chan! Time to go!" Mrs. Takenouchi yelled.
"Bye, Taichi. Bye-bye, Hikari," she said to the two-year-old. "Tai… Remind Hikari of me. I'll miss you." Sora hugged her best friend meaningfully. His words were in her thoughts…
"Wait!" Tai yelled, as the car slowly rolled out of the driveway.
The car paused.
"Sora! Here, you forgot this! Don't forget!!!!" he said handing the lumpy package to Sora.
Sora smiled. "I won't. I promise!"
Sora sighed as Taichi became only a speck. She slowly brought her eyes to the package. She opened it, full of curiosity. It was a soccer ball...
Typical Tai, she thought. We both love soccer—I wonder...if I'll ever be able to come back here...
So, was it a good prologue??? I hope it was. Please review, by clicking the rectangular button at the bottom-left corner.
