Sora's alarm went off at 10:45 in the morning. She fumbled around until she hit the snooze button, But it still didn't stop. 'Damn this alarm.' She thought. 'I'm up' She had spent to long at Tai's' house last night and she was tired. She finally got her alarm clock to stop and went for a shower.
Next she started to tidy up her room. 'I better hide all my Biyomon pictures.' she thought. It was now around 11:20. She changed out of her nightgown and started to scavenge through the kitchen to see if there were any eatable snacks she could set out. 'Ok that should be everything.' she thought. As she just turned on the TV, there was a knock at the door. She went to answer it. It was Todd.
"Hi," she said as she opened the door. "You found my place. That's good."
"These are for you." Todd said holding a bouquet of beautiful lilies of the valley.
"Oh, they are my favorite. Thank you." She said. He blushed. "Come on in. I'm going to find a vase, make yourself at home." She said as she rummaged through a cabinet. "My mom is at work, so we'll have the whole place to ourselves." She came into the living room w/ the flowers in a crystal vase. She set them on the table next to the couch. "There they smell so nice." She gave him a quick peck on the cheek and sat down on the other side of the couch.
"So what did you want to get done today?"
"Well." Just as Sora was about to answer, there was Tai's usual knock at the door. "It's open Tai." She yelled as Tai let himself in. "Well I thought we could get most of the research done, and then maybe I can teach you some new soccer moves."
"That sounds nice. Oh hello Taichi." Todd said as Tai entered the living room.
"Hi Todd, Hi Sora." He kissed her head as he sat down on the floor at her feet.
"Are you feeling better?" Sora asked Tai.
"Sort of. I still have a headache." He complained. "So what is this big project about?"
"Well we have been assigned the task of researching and presenting to the class about CO." Todd informed him.
"Shall we get started?" Sora asked as she turned off the TV and got up. "The computer is in here." She walked into her bedroom. Tai jumped down on her bed as Sora went to the computer and brought up some files. Todd was close to her, he was a little uneasy about being in a girl's bedroom. "You can sit on the chair over there." Sora pointed out. "Throw off the stuffed animals and junk and move it closer if you like."
"I never thought of you as the frilly pink type of girl." Todd commented looking around the room.
"My mom put all that junk in here- I usually throw it in the closet, but I have my sports equipment in there right now.
"I see." Todd replied.
"Alrightly." Tai said. "So anyone got ideas?" He was trying to keep his presence in the room known.
"Well actually…" Todd had begun to describe his idea of creating a high level project/ Tai's head hurt when he heard all the work it entailed. Sora seemed interested at what Todd was saying. "Well Tai, what do you think?"
"Um, well…" Crap Tai thought. I should have been listening… "Well we could do all that, but isn't it a bit much for a stupid little project?"
"Oh come on Tai. It sounds like fun." Sora said. "Besides you grade could use the help with extra points."
"Fine." He sighed. "But only because you are going to be doing it to."
The group dove right into work. Sora made cool looking posters while Todd typed on the computer. Tai, well Tai was given the job of helping Sora. After two hours of non-stop work Tai flopped down on Sora's bed. "Can we take a break guys?"
"Sure," Sora said, "I've got some snacks in the kitchen- we can even walk to the park and play a little soccer." When Tai heard the word 'soccer' he jumped up and ran to Sora's closet. He began to fish through her collection of equipment, till he found a soccer ball.
"Let's go!" Tai was already running out of Sora's apartment.
"Come on Todd, " Sora called from the kitchen. "I'll even teach you some new moves."
"Coming." Todd was at Sora's side in seconds. She grabbed another ball and the snacks, as they walked down to the park.
The day was perfect outside. The sun was out and the birds were singing. Tai had found a quiet corner of the park and was already kicking the ball around.
"Wow, he's good." Todd commented watching Tai run wild w/ the ball. It became like another limb.
"Don't let him intimidate you. He's a show off." She said and laughed at Tai.
"Are you guys up for a game of tow on one?"
"Um, I'm not that good." Todd hesitated.
"How about we just teach him some things first." Sora began to do some dribbling exercises and Todd was able to repeat them. "See you're pretty good. Do you want to try and see how bad we can cream Tai?" She winked at Todd/
"Sure. I'm up for some fun."
"I'll take it easy on you."
"Thanks Tai." Sora said as she started the game. Sora was Tai's clear equal, but she usually let Todd play the ball. All three were having a great time and they were laughing hard.
Sora had taken the ball away from Tai in a sneaky move. He was right behind her now.
"Todd get ready!" She said, as she was about to pass the ball to him. Just then Tai grabbed her waist and pulled her to the ground. He began tickling her-
"Tai!" She laughed. "Illegal Move!!" She said in between laughs
"Oh come on. You guys are good. How else am I supposed to win?" Sora began to tickle him. They were rolling around on the ground tickling each other. Todd could only watch. He was jealous. 'Sora is mine,' he thought to himself. 'She clearly likes me, but then there was that stupid Tai.'
"Uncle." Tai wailed as Sora was straddling him and tickling him. "You win- I give up."
She stood up triumphantly. Then helped Tai to his feet. "Well that was fun … snacks?" She asked/ "We haven't eaten yet and I'm starving." She motioned for the guys to follow her.
After they had eaten, all three returned to Sora's apartment. Her mother was there in the kitchen arranging a fresh bouquet of roses.
"Hi mom." Sora said as she entered.
Oh hi hun, hello Taichi." She smiled
"Hi Mrs. Takenouchi." Tai replied.
"Oh mom, this is Todd. We are working on a special project for school."
"It is nice to meet you." Mrs. T said
"It's a pleasure." Sora and Tai entered Sora's bedroom. "Well we better get back to work, if you will excuse me." Todd followed them in.
"Well we have most if it done." Tai said surprised.
"Ya, it looks good." Sora commented. Todd printed out a four-page paper.
"I think we are finished." Todd agreed. "Well what time is it anyway?" Sora looked at the clock on her wall.
"5:30!" She said, "Wow. I think we better call it a night. Do you want us to walk you home Todd?"
"No, it's ok. I need to run a few errands anyway."
"Ok. Well it was fun." Tai said shaking Todd's hand.
"We'll see you on Monday." Sora smiled as she walked him to the door.
All the way home, Sora was all Todd could think about. How he wanted her, needed her, and deserved her more than that self-centered Tai. 'She will be mine,' he said, 'but how?'
