Note: As promised more Matt and Sora in this fic! Actually it's all Sora and Matt.. I think I may continue writing this fic doing one chapter mainly with Matt and Sora, the next mainly with Izzy and Mimi and back and forth till Joe, Tai, Kari and Tk get into the digital world. I'm not sure though… Oh well on with the fic!

After lunch Sora and Matt decided to go for a swim and try to wash up a little. They had both changed into their bathing suits and were wading in the stream. Sora watched Matt as he washed his hair. Matt heard laughter from behind him and turned around to see Sora sitting in the water, hysterical.

"What?" He asked looking around keeping his hands on his soapy hair. "What's so funny?"

"Your hair." She gasped out. It was true Matt's golden hair was sticking out in crazy directions all filled with soap. Matt gave her a look.

"What, you've never scene anybody wash their hair before?" He asked crossly.

"No your hair… it just... looks so ridiculous." She laughed harder. A shocked look came over Matt's face. This was the kind of thing he heard people say to Tai, not to him. No body had ever insulted his hair before, at least not that he knew of. Out of the corner of his eye he spied the shampoo bottle. Maybe everybody's hair looks funny when they're washing it. He thought picking up the bottle. Then he smirked and looked at the laughing girl. He squeezed out a big glob of shampoo into his hands.

"Matt.." Sora gulped as the comical haired boy stepped closer and towered above her. "Why are you looking me like that…"

"I'll get you for that one, Takenouchi." He said putting his hands on her head, and running his fingers through her hair, rubbing the shampoo around.

"Ahh! Matt!!" She yelled trying to get up. She couldn't. "Matt!" She whined then started laughing at a faraway memory. She was pinned down by her head and was getting her hair washed. She remembered what she felt like she was two, trying to escape a bath. She looked up at Matt, soap dripping down his face. He didn't notice though.

"I'm going to give you the alfalfa do." He said smirking at her, trying to make all her hair stand up in a point.

That's it! She thought coming up with a plan. Football time! She threw all her weight in Matt's and wrapped her arms around his legs, tackling him into the 2 feet of water. The water washed a little of the soap out of both of their hair, so when they came back up their hair looked almost normal. Sora came up out of the water first and jumped to her feet. She backed up a little, keeping herself a safe distance from Matt as he surfaced.

"You better run Takenouchi, cause your going down." He warned jumping to his feet. Sora ran towards the shore as Matt chased her. As she hit the beach-like shoreline, she turned to see how far Matt was from her. Matt took this opportunity to pounce on her. He landed on top of her, pinning her hands above her head and started tickling her like crazy.

"Matt!" She shrieked, laughing hysterically. "Stop it!"

"Now what were you saying about my hair?" Matt asked, stopping.

"Your hair is.." Sora began, than remember the falls. "angelic."

"Hm. Nice save." He answered. Sora took that second to realize exactly how cute Matt looked. I love him so much.. I wonder if Biyomon ever felt this way. Maybe she did. If I ever gave her this much love, she'd definitely win every battle. Something caught Matt's eye and he turned his head to look down for a second and saw Sora digi-connecter was shining a bright pink light. "Sora look your connecter, it's glowing!" Sora looked down and the both watched in surprise as the eggshell split into a thousands pieces revealing a gold heart shaped locket, with Sora's crest sign engraved into it.

"Whoa!" Matt whispered.

Sora took the locket in her hand to look it over. The latch to open it had a small keyhole. Hmm I bet Biyomon has the key... Biyomon. Suddenly Sora could see Biyomon chained to the wall, wounded. It was only in here mind, but the connection felt so real.

"Sora?" The bird-like Digimon whispered, feeling her friends presence but to weak to open her own eyes.

"I'm here." Sora whispered out loud and in her mind she reached for her friend.

"Sora are you okay…" Matt asked, interrupting Sora's connection and bringing her back to him.

"Biyomon.. I saw her. She was so weak. She need's my help Matt. I have to." She explained faintly as she emptied part of her life force into her Digimon.

In a castle faraway a bird took a deep, rejuvenating breath as her body began to mend. Slowly patches of feathers grew in places that once where bare and lacking. Bruises disappeared and dirt fell away as the bird burst through her chains. Biyomon was still locked in her windowless tower, but she was free from her chains.

Matt felt Sora fall back limply. "Sora... Sora?" He asked and nervously took her pulse. It was steady, but it was clear that she was exhausted. In a moment Matt realized what she had down. "Oh Sora. You care to much for your own good sometimes." He ran his finger along her check. "And that's why I love you." He whispered the words he couldn't say when she was awake. Slowly he climbed off the sleeping girl. He took out a sleeping bag and placed it out. He moved back to Sora and gently lifted her up and carried her to the sleeping bag. He laid her in it gently. "Sweet dreams." He kissed her forehead, and then he went and gathered some fruit for she would surely be hungry when she awakened.
