Chapter One
This was the day, Tai thought. The day that he had been waiting for, for years, no forever. He had run through his plans a thousand times in his head; what he was going to say, when and most importantly how he was going to finally tell his childhood sweetheart that…he… loved her. Love, he thought. Yes, he truly loved her; secretly he had always loved her ever since the day they met in the park next to Heighten View Terrace. He drifted off into a daydream of that moment; his heart had first felt something…different.
He was only five at the time; he was playing soccer with some other neighborhood boys. They were mean, and they always ganged up on Tai during the soccer games. They would trip him, push him and laugh at him. Then one day a person came up to him and asked why he let those bullies push him around like that. It was Sora, he didn't realize she was a girl right away, because she wore a soccer uniform and her hair was short. "Let's show them what you are really made of." And she kicked a soccer ball towards him- "Come on" she encouraged. He got up- and the game was on. Two on two, him and his new friend, against the bullies. Together they were a perfect team, Tai had to admit this new player was almost his equal. In the end Tai and Sora had won by four points.
"Wow, you're good." Tai said.
"Sora, where are you princess," an adult voice yelled.
"I'm right here daddy," she said as she waved her hands in that air to let the adult know where she was.
"Oh there you are. So has my little princess had fun today? Oh I see you made a new friend."
Tai was stunned, 'little princess?' Could this be a…girl??
"Ya, um, I didn't get your name- but mine's Sora. Nice to meet you…"
"Um, T-Tai. Tai's my name," the boy said in shock. She was a girl; a girl had just helped him kick the butts of the two people he could never face alone.
"Well, Sora we better be heading home, your mom wants us back for dinner. It was nice meeting you Tai. Come along honey." He said as he motioned for her to follow.
"Well, it was nice meeting you Tai, maybe we can play soccer again." she winked at him, all Tai could do was stare at her, at her eyes. She was a girl. The next thing Tai remembered was she was gone. His heart and stomach felt weird….
That was the same feeling he had now. But magnified a thousand times. Tai never thought that thirteen years later he would be asking her…to..go out.
These words echoed in his head. It was now noon, just one hour to go. He checked and double-checked the picnic basket he had sitting on the counter top in the Kamiya's apartment.
Blanket- check
PB & J sandwiches, Sora's favorite, - check
Pop for me and water for her - check
As he nervously went through the various contents of the basket he got the feeling he was forgetting something.
"What am I forgetting? I know there's something else… but what?" he said scratching his head.
"How about some pants, lover boy." A voice giggled. Tai looked up, it was his little sister Kari. She was kneeling on the couch in the living room; looking at the spectacle her brother was putting on.
Tai looked down at his legs, "Ya, I'm getting there," he blushed as he was still in his boxers, "Gee- don't rush me. This day has got to be perfect."
"So what are you going to do?" She inquired, "Finally ask Sora out?"
"How did you know that?" Tai said surprised and a little bit embarrassed.
"Tai, it's totally obvious you like her a lot, everyone can see that. And well why else would you be getting all this stuff ready and sweating?"
"Is it that obvious?" He said wiping the sweat from his forehead; he was nervous and once again embarrassed.
"Tai, it's ok, no one disapproves. Beside Sora's the nicest person I know and she disserves a good guy, like my favorite brother."
"Your only brother but thanks Kari." He left the kitchen and entered his room to get some pants. "That's it!" he yelled from within his room. "I knew I forgot something," he said as he exited his room with a small black box in his hands. "How could I forget this?" He said as he carefully held the treasured box. He had worked for at least a year to save up for this, and he was so excited to finally give it to the one person he loved more than anything in the world.
"What is it? Can I see it?" Kari whined. "Please??"
"Well, ok, but you can't laugh, it's kind of… dumb." He said as he opened the box, inside there were a sparkling necklace and a ring. The necklace was a special design Tai had came up with. It combined his Crest of Courage and Sora's Crest of Love. Diamonds accented the design, which hung from a delicate golden chain. The ring was a beautiful promise ring. Two small diamonds sat on each side of a blue sapphire stone. "Sora's favorite color." Tai laughed, as Kari stood dumb-founded. She didn't know her brother could actually be capable of having such beautiful thoughts.
"She's going to go nuts Tai." She said still stunned to see the contents of the box. "They are perfect."
"You think she will actually like them?" he asked nervously, "what if she doesn't like me that way I do her? I can't really stay just friends with her anymore, I…want more"
"Tai," Kari said taking her brothers hand, "she loves you too, I know it."
"Thanks Kari, I hope so." he closed the box and carefully set it in his pocket. "Oh wow look at the time, I better get going!" The clock read 12:45, as Tai pulled up his pants, grabbed the basket and ran out the door.
A minute later he returned, "I forgot my shoes." He blushed.
"You are so silly, Tai. Don't worry to much, and good luck." Kari said lovingly to her brother.
"Bye"
Tai had once again run out the door of the Kamiya residence and was on his way to Sora's apartment complex. Over and over in his mind he recited his carefully chosen words he was going to say. 'Sora, we've been through a lot together, and well, I Love You.' The word 'love' made his heart pump faster and faster, this was it. Today was THE day his life would change.
