Me: Even if it's short, (and I'm suffering from a writer's block, which isn't helping) things always look longer on paper. Most likely because I keep crossing stuff out and re-writing.but that's what writing is! Anyway, chapter 3. This chapter is longer, like you asked for. Oh, and yes, Tai is a teacher.

Dogmon: And a s-

Me: Stop ruining the plot! Or part of the plot, anyway.

Austin, Chapter 3
By taidigimon

Sora's POV

"Ring, ring, ring" went the telephone.

Sora looked up from the novel she was reading.

"I wonder who would be calling this time of day?"

She picked up the phone. "Hello, Takenouchi residence"

"Hi Sora. It's me, Mimi. Can you pick me up for the concert?"

"Oh, crap. I forgot all about it! Sure, I'll be over in a few minutes!"

Sora hung up the phone and ran into her bedroom to change.

Tai's POV

"Oh, God, I'm gonna be late," said Tai in his car, going exactly the same as the speed limit.

"I should have gone with my manager..."

He then stopped in the parking lot of the place where the Young Wolves were playing. Then he grabbed his guitar and ran inside.

At a High School in Austin, Texas

"Come on Mr. Bustad, you can find it!" said a student.

A roomful of students sat at desks while a teacher was flipping through the channels on a TV set in the front of the classroom.

"We wanna watch Mr. K! We wanna watch Mr. K!" yelled the students over and over again while banging on their desks.

"Why don't you practice some of that Japanese he's being paid to teach you!" yelled Mr. Bustad.

The class then quieted down as he found the channel. (A/n: They can get this channel that's in Japan in Austin, Texas because Izzy rigged it up and because I said so and what I say goes)

Sora's POV

She watched as Matt walked on stage with his bass, as people yelled, screamed, and cheered. Next to her Mimi was messing with her hair. (a/n: Mimi wasn't messing with Sora's hair, she was messing with her own)

"Do I look OK?" asked Mimi for the millionth time that day.

"You look great!"

"Are you just saying that?"

"Nope."

"Welcome to tonight's show," said Matt, almost yelling into the mike, "today we have a guest singer! I hope you enjoy it!"

A man who looked to be in his mid-twenties walked out as people clapped politely. He was wearing a cowboy hat tilted forward so you couldn't see his face. He was also wearing jeans, spurs, cowboy boots, and a shirt. He had an autistic (a/n: not electric, the other one plus, I'm not sure how to spell it) guitar.

"There's something familiar about him," thought Sora.

Tai's POV

"OK here I am about to pour my heart out...Nothing to be worried about...I hope she came," thought Tai.

He started to strum his guitar and sing. (a/n: Let's pretend that he sounds really good, like Blake Shelton, maybe?)

"She left with out leavin' a number Said she needed to clear her mind He figured she'd gone back to Austin 'Cause she talked about it all the time"

Sora's POV

She wasn't really bothering to listen. As Matt says, "Once you've heard one country song, you've heard them all," but for some reason, she found herself really listening to this one.

"It was almost a year Before she called him up Three rings and an answering machine Is what she got"

Tai's POV

He paused for a moment to see what the crowd thought. It looked like they liked it, that he might be a good singer/song writer.He smiled and then continued.

"If you're callin' 'bout the car I sold it If this is Tuesday night I'm bowling If you've got somethin' to sell You're wastin' your time I'm not buying If it's anybody else Wait for the tone, You know what to do And P.S. if this is Austin I still love you"

Sora's POV

"Oh, poor guy. He's in the same situation that I'm in!" thought Sora, "I wonder if Mimi like this, she always has liked those love songs."

She then pocked the pink haired girl sitting next to her. Mimi gave her the evil eye.

"I take it she does"

Tai's POV

"The telephone fell to the counter She heard but she couldn't believe What kind of man would hang on that long? What kind of love that must be She waited three days And then she tried again She didn't know what she'd say But she heard three rings and then"

Sora's POV

"If it's Friday night, I'm at the ballgame And first thing Saturday, if it don't rain I'm headed up to the lake And I'll be gone all weekend long But I'll call you back When I get home On Sunday afternoon And P.S. If this is Austin I still love you"

"This sounds remotely familiar." Sora thought to herself, "I wonder why."

Tai's POV

"This time she left her number But not another word Then she waited by the phone On Sunday evening And this is what he heard"

He paused. He knew this was going to be the hardest part.

Sora's POV

"That guy's answering machine is just like mine," Sora thought, "I wonder if he had the same idea."

"If you're calling 'bout my heart It's still yours I should've listened to it a little more Then it wouldn't have Taken me so long To know where I belong"

Tai's POV

"And by the way boy This is no machine you're talking to Can't you tell this is Austin."

"Oh, you can do this, it's not that hard..." thought Tai.

"I still love you."

Tai then threw his hat into the crowd.

Sora's POV

"I still love you!" (Tai)

Sora's eyes went wide.

"Oh my God! It's Tai!" said Mimi she turned to face Sora.

Sora was to stunned to do anything. Then she ran as fast as her legs would take her to the exit.

Tai's POV

Tai then walked off the stage slowly.

"I can't believe I just did that," he said to himself as he passed Matt and the rest of his band getting ready to play

That's the end of chapter 3. Long enough for your liking? It was 5 pages on Word, Style: Normal, Name: Times, and Size: 12. I think this was a good ending, but I'll write more if you want.-taidigimon
