15 year old Takuya Kanbera stared at the empty seat across from him. He hated it when it was empty.

Takuya was riding the bus, as he did everyday, looking at the seat across the aisle. Of course it wasn't usually empty. Just today.

"I wish she was here." He mumbled to himself.

Everyday he and Zoe would sit in the backseats of the bus becuase his cousin, the bus driver, reserved it for them.

Ever since they're adventures from the Digital World ended, Takuya and Zoe became the best of friends. They had eventually given up on all their

fights. A couple months after they got back, Zoe moved a block away from Takuya so they would always get together. Gradually, as the years

went by, they became closer and closer and started to falling for each other. They never said a word about it though. Most people would say

(Especially Koji) 'they would make such a great couple' and 'you two should hook up'. But Takuya and Zoe would merely say that they were just

friends. So everyday they would sit across form each other and no one would object, knowing that they are perfect for each other. But today

was different. Her seat was empty.

Koji who sat in front of Zoe's normal seat shot his friend a worried glance but he missed it. Koji turned to Angel, who sat across from him. They

met Angel when they went to middle school together. It was obvious that Koji and Angel liked each other but when somebody brought it up they

would simply change the subject. "What happened?" Angel asked, her questioning baby blue eyes looked into Koji'sdark blue ones. He shuggred.

"All I know is that they went to the movies on Friday." He took another look at Takuya. He was still in the same position. Takuya was sitting staring

fixedly at her seat. The same seat that everyday he would see deep emerald green eyes, beautiful golden locks anda smile that would always

brighten up his face. And now she was gone.

'It's all my fault.' Takuya thought to himself. 'I made the first move and she didin't feel the same way.'

~*FLASHBACK*~

"Hey Mrs. Orimoto." Takuya smiled stepping in as Zoe's Mom opened the door. Zoe's mom looked exactly like Zoe, except her eyes. She had

the most beautiful violet eyes. So Zoe inhareted her green eyes from her father. "Hello Takuya. I'll get Zoe one miute." He wasn't uncomfortable,

like most kids are at another house, he was quite relaxed. This was his home away from home. Takuya nodded. She came down about thirty

seconds later. "You can go upstairs. She'll be a minute." He smiled and headed upstairs. He knocked on the door a couple times and waited for

an awnser. "Come in." he heard Zoe yell. When he walked in he was welcomed by a light purple room with tons of framed pictures.

The pictures were of Him, JP, Koji, Tommy,Bokomon, Neemon and Zoe. A Year after she moved down the block Zoe had started to draw about

they're adventures in the Digital World after she was given a copy of the dictionary that bokomon had. It started with a simple picture of Kazemon and

it grew... alot. She had drawn pictures of everything in that world. From a simple digiegg to their ancient forms. She always gave them away to the

others but she kept the origanals. He was looking at a picture of EmperorGreymon when she came out. He hadn't noticed her yet so she snuck

behind him and... tickled him. "Ahhh stop- you-win-come on" He manged to say between laughs. She stopped and giggled a bit. He smiled when

she did this. She just had the kind of laugh that made you want to smile, or atleast thats what he thought. "So we going or are you just gonna stand

there and smile all day?" She asked. "I don't know smiling is pretty fun." She just rolled her eyes and took a glance at the clock on the wall. "Come

on we're gonna miss the movie." She grabbed his hand and they ran down the stairs. "Bye Mom!" Zoe called as the took off out the door. "Bye

sweetie. Bye Takuya." "Bye Mrs. O." Takuya yelled still being dragged by Zoe.

About two blocks later she eventually slowed down, for Takuya of course.It was kind of chilly but they didn't mind it much. Takuya was wearing a

long white sleeved shirt over top and cargo pants, while Zoe was wearing matching jeans and a jean jacket covering a white shirt and a gold

necklace that hadthe spirit of wind which was purple. Takuya had given her this when they graduated and she hasn't taken it off for anything. They

walked the rest of the way laughing and talking about stuff not caring about anything except each other. The Theatre was only two blocks away

when they saw, JP. "Hi ZOE Takuya." He said his name wth out any expression at all. Takuya sighed. JP was always getting jealos of Zoe and

Takuya's friendship and it really started getting irritating after the first year. JP still hadn't given up on Zoe. 'Of cousre I wouldn't have either'

Takuya thought. "Hey JP, we're going to go see a movie." Zoe responded. "Can I come too?" JP asked. Takuya was about to awnser but Zoe cut

him off. "Sure we're going to go see uh 'The Lizzie McGuire Movie'." Takuya looked over at her with a confused look, but she just gave a small

wink, lukily JP didn't catch it. "So how about we get the snack and you runand get us some good seats." "Sure Zo." With that he darted down the

street."Your good." He said to Zoe laughing a bit when he watched JP disappear into the thaetre. "It took you five years to realize that?" She gave

him aquestioning look. He smiled a bit and took her right hand into his left (Making her glow a warm shade of pink) and started to walk again.

When they reached the theatre they decided to go to 'Bruce Almighty'. After they got the tickets and snacks Takuya could have swore that he saw

JP tiredly walk into the theatre number six. About a half hour into the movie Zoe placed her head on Takuya's shoulder. Takuya smiled and put his

right cheek on top of her head, smelling the sweet scent of her hair.

On the way home they looked up at the stars. It was a clear night so you could see them perfectly. They stopped at Zoe's house. "Bye Zoe."

Takuya said. He turned to leave but Zoe gently grabbed his arm, cuasing him to turn. He was met bye a warm smile while Zoe said. "Thanks."

He looked deep into her eyes and took his chance. Slowly, ever so slowly, as if asking permission, he gently moved his head towards hers. Zoe

didn't object though, she found herself inching towards his face.Then they're faces met for a gentle kiss. It was perfect. It deepened and became

more passionate but it reamaind gentle. Takuya had caught up to Zoe in seventh grade so they were the same hieght. This wasn't they're first kiss

together. They had shared one in the Digital world, much like this but not as passionate. He his hand behind her ear keeping his thumb out

pressing her face against his. He then slowly slid his tounge on her bottom lip, making a shiver run down her spine, asking for passage.

She gladly let him in, slid her tounge along his. The kiss still remained gentle and the two wanted to stay like that forever. But Zoe suddenly

broke apart. "G'night Takuya." She said not looking into his eyes so she could hide the now endless stream of tears running down her face.

She quickly turned and ran in the doorway, shutting the door behind her, and not stopping untill she reached her room. Takuya just stood there

dumfounded. He turned and slowly started to walk home.

Looking up all he could see was dark grey clouds now covering the night sky.

~*END OF FLASHBACK*~

"Why did I kiss her?" Takuya asked himself. The kiss. It just felt so natural, so perfect, so right. Takuya looked out the window across from him.

It started to rain. It had been raining ever since friday night. He went over to the other seat. He looked to his left and could see the school. He

sighed and closed his eyes. He opened them again to see a girl walking. It was Zoe. She wasn't getting that wet because she was walking under

some tree's but you couldn't see her face, she was looking at the ground. The thing that really got to him, as the bus passed her, was that she

wasn't wearing anything around her neck.
