Love and Friendship
Ch2.-'Packing up and
Driving out'
Sora sat under the flagpole waiting to see Matt's jeep
pull up. She straightened her backpack,
thinking about biyomon and the digital world.
"Bye Sora, have a good weekend!" A blond girl that Sora recognized from her
tennis team yelled to her as she ran pass to make the bus.
"Oh Thanks Suke! You have a nice weekend too!" Sora
called after her. Then seeing Matt pull
out of the school parking lot, she got up to walk over to him. A bunch of
girls, that usually play soccer with Sora, noticed her walking by herself. They all ran over to her.
"Hey Sora, wanna stay after and score some goals with
us?" One girl asked.
"Sorry, I can't today, I'm got some stuff to do before I
go away this afternoon, maybe when I get back, okay?"
"Alright!" the girls cheered and Sora beamed.
"Yo Sora! Hurry up, we only got two hours!" Matt yelled
from inside his car.
"Be right there!" Sora yelled back then turned towards
her friends. "I got to go."
"So
that's what you're doing, huh?" Kimmy, the forward, joked with her
"Look's like Sora's got a new goal to score in!" Sora's teammate teased her. Sora turned as red as a tomato. I know
they're just joking but really, how could people say those kinds of things out
loud!?!? Matt is not just some other
goal to sc… She could barely think the words, and she knew she could never
ever say them the way Kimmy or her friend just did. He's a person and my friend! …A friend that
I care about a lot. She thought to herself as the rest of the soccer team
laughed about the jokes.
"Sora! You didn't tell us you were going out with Matt
Ishida!" Another forward shouted trying to find out more of the facts.
"Well that's because I'm not." She said blushing from all
the attention. The girls didn't seem to
hear her.
"Aww, she's only got two hours left to hang out with her
Mattie-kun!" Said one of them laughing.
"No guys it's not like that, we're just friends!" She
yelled, louder then necessary. She was
sure her face was scarlet. "And besides," she rambled on. "he's coming with
me."
"AWWW!"
Her eyes widen, when she realized her mistake. "I really
got to go now, Bye!" She yelled running for Matt's jeep. He pushed the door open for her, and she
climbed in.
"Sora and Matt! Who-hoo!" the girls catcalled after them.
"Your friends excited for yah huh?" Matt suggested
slyly. Sora blushed, as Matt started pulling
away.
"Who-hoo! Look who's driving Sora home!" A bunch of boys
yelled as Sora and Matt drove by. Matt
blushed and Sora laughed.
"Your
friends seem just as thrilled as mine, Yamato Ishida." She said jokingly using his full name.
"Yeah..."
Matt agreed. Then jokingly he put one
arm behind Sora and pulled her closer, keeping one hand on the wheel. "I wonder
why?"
Sora laughed. "Keep your hands on the wheel,
Ishida." She said in a mock serious tone.
"If you insist." He
put his hands on the wheel, imitating her seriousness tone for a moment. "Make a left on this street here, miss?" he
said pretending to be a cab driver.
"Why, yes, however did you know?" Sora responded even
though Matt had been to her house many times with Tai.
"My fans aren't the only stalkers in Odiba." Matt smirked
giving Sora a devious look. Sora laughed with him again. With in a few minutes
they pulled up in front of Sora's apartment.
"Thanks
Matt," Sora said gratefully turning to Matt.
"No problem."
Matt answered, grinning.
Sora
smiled at him as she climbed out of the jeep, "Come on in you can look for
Gennai and the others online, while I pack."
"Alright."
Matt said climbing out of the car and following Sora to her apartment
door. After she opened the door and let
them in she lead Matt to the computer and set him up online.
"My room
is right there," she said pointing down the hallway. Then she turned back to
him. "Are you hungry, can I get you anything to drink?"
"Nah." Matt said as he thought of how he possibly just
turned down some of the most delicious cookies he had ever tasted. His stomach growled. Sora raised an eyebrow. "I mean… go pack
first. We have to hurry if we want to
make it in time. I'm gonna e-mail
everyone to tell them were going."
"Okay." Sora said smiling as she walked to her room. She grabbed her gray backpack out of the
closet and placed it on her bed. She
grabbed a pair of jeans, a dark blue tank top, a hooded white jacket, 2 sets of
underwear, a bathing suit, and three sets of socks, which she threw into the
bag. She ran to her dresser and placed
her brush, digivice, and a ponytail in the backpack. She already had her crest on. Then she walked toward the bathroom
to continue packing.
"Hey Matt?" She stopped near the computer. "If I bring all the bathroom stuff like soap
and toothpaste, then will you bring a few cooking things like a frying pan and
maybe a bowl or two?"
"Sure no problem." Matt said as he typed away at the keyboard. "I'll even bring some salt and pepper." They both smiled,
thinking of a certain blue haired boy and a refrigerator filled with eggs.
Sora finished packing as Matt got in touch with all the
other digidestined. He also e-mailed
his band members telling them he had an emergency and didn't know when he'd be
back. Sora wrote a good-bye letter to
her mother, telling her mother not to worry and that she'd be back unharmed
before her mother knew it. Matt and Sora grabbed a handful of cookies and two
bottles of water on their way out the door. Sora looked around one last time before shutting the door and locking
it. "Bye momma, I'll miss you." She whispered as she followed Matt to his
car. Matt told Sora about everyone he
got in touch with on the way to his house.
"All the new digidestined are in Tokyo to see the
national spelling bee. Turns out Kari
and Ken are in it."
"Wow,"
Sora interrupted. "What competition!"
"Yeah,
Tai said the kids are rooting for both and just hoping for a tie." Matt said stopping at a red light and taking
a bite of his cookie.
"So Tai
is there helping his parents supervise?" Sora asked as Matt took a drink from
his water bottle.
"Yeah,
scary thought I know."
"I was
actually more worried about how he's going to break up the Tk vs. Davis
fights." Sora said smiling, thinking of
the to boys trying to root the loudest for Kari.
"Well Tk
brought Kari a yellow rose, for good luck, so I'm betting Tk wins round one."
Sora laughed.
"Yup. First point goes to Tk." The light turned
green and Matt drove onward, still giving Sora the digi-updates.
"Just so
happens, Joe has the flu."
"Oh poor
Joe! He must be miserable."
"Yeah,
Izzy said that he should be better in a week and that he'll go in through the
portal with Tai and the other kids because they're not getting back for the
week either. Izzy is currently stuck
babysitting his new little brother. He
says it's the last time he'll volunteer for anything ever again, and that he
never knew diapers could smell so bad. Mimi has the next flight to Japan. Izzy said he'd pick her up tomorrow when she arrives and then they'll
both wait by the portal for us to open it again."
"Wait a
minute. Open the portal? That means we have to fight a battle ourselves." Sora
said finally realizing how hard it was going to be.
"Yeah."
Matt answered, none to happy about it. He parked the car in front of his apartment. They both went inside up to Matt's room. As Matt packed, Sora sat at Matt's computer
and printed up the directions to the portal from Gennai.
Afterwards Sora helped Matt pack a little, because
he kept forgetting stuff. Matt found
two rolled up, fairly small, sleeping bags in his dad's closet. Sora brought Matt's backpack and the two
sleeping bags to the jeep as Matt wrote a letter to his dad. Matt finished the letter and left it on the
kitchen counter for his dad to find. He
looked at his guitar for a minute deciding that it was too much to carry. He went to his room and pulled his old harmonica
off its shelf. He put it in his pocket
along with his Digivice. He touched his
neck, checking to make sure that the crest was still there. He was looking at
it when Sora burst into the room and slammed the door shut behind her.
"We've
got trouble!" She shouted gasping for air, leaning against the closed door.
"What's
wrong?" Matt asked alarmed. Sora
dragged Matt to the window. A bunch of
crazed girls were all standing outside in the front of the house. Matt gulped "My fans await huh?" At that moment a particular fan, Jun, looked
up and saw Sora and Matt standing in the window.
"HEY
MATT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP THERE WITH HER? CAN I COME UP TOO?"
"Ahh…
Get down!" Matt shouted pulling Sora down underneath the window with him.
"What
are we gonna do?" Sora asked, a little worried. "We should be leaving now!"
"I'm
thinking, I'm thinking!" Matt said frustrated. "I've got it!" Matt shouted
sitting up triumphantly. Jun was at the
window. Matt yelled and ducked back
down.
"Hey
Matt I think that's just a balloon." Sora said staring at 'Jun'. 'Jun' turned around and on the back of 'her'
not-real-looking hair it said 'I love you, Matt Ishida', proving that Sora's
statement was true. Matt and Sora
sighed with relief.
"Okay,
back to my plan… We climb out the window in my dad's room and onto the fire
escape. Then we go down the fire escape
and I run to the side of the house near the jeep. You run to the opposite side and shout something along the lines
of 'hey everyone Matt is back here'. While everybody goes towards your side,
I'll be running to the jeep. I'll start
the jeep as you run around to my side. Then you'll jump in the jeep and we'll speed away before anyone can
reach us."
"That's
your plan?" Sora asked incredulously. Matt nodded. "Now if I was Joe I'd say your crazy. And that I don't like running and that fire
escapes were only for emergency's."
"But
this is an emergency and you love running!" Matt said sounding exasperated.
"And I'm
not Joe." Sora added.
"So if
I'm thinking correctly…" Matt said realizing where Sora was heading.
"Let's
do it!" they shouted in unison.
They
both ran to Mr. Ishida's room. "Fire
drill." Matt said hopping out the window onto the stairs and helping Sora
out. The escape stairs were a little
noisy so once Matt and Sora reached a safe enough distance they jumped down.
Sora and Matt walked to their sides of the building, saving their energy. Matt gave Sora the thumbs-up sign and
climbed up on top of the fence, waiting to make his move.
"OH GIRLS!" Sora yelled "GUESS WHO'S BACK HERE WITH
ME!!!" A screaming mob of girls came running at her. Sora turned on her heels and ran as fast as she could across the
yard. Meanwhile, Matt made a mad dash
to the jeep. Sora turned the corner,
and stopped a second before hitting the fence. "AHH!! Nobody told me there was a fence here!!" She yelled, climbing
over it. Some fan girls heard her and turned around, chasing her to Matt's
Jeep. She ran to the jeep and jumped in
through the window.
"GO! DRIVE, DRIVE!!!!" She yelled as Matt placed his foot on the accelerator and they speed off
down the street.

Sora's password will come up in the Chapter 3. Please Review!
