Joey's Girl: Don't worry, Matt will be up and peachy again in no time!

Savoan Locc: It's all well and good about being loyal to the show, but I don't want to get into a couples war! ^_^ Everyone is entitled to their own opinion!

Darkness Princess: Of course Yama will be okay in the end! ^_^ You'll see!

Armitage: Here you go! Thanks for the review!

Windedlove: Glad you decided to review! I know the chapters are very irregular in length... sorry! I'll try to make them longer in the sequel, since this one is already written out. ^_^ I'm afraid this chapter is kind of short too... Next chapter will be a little longer, and better, okay?

D: Thanks for reviewing! There's more coming, so keep reading! ^_~

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or any of it's characters! So people waiting to sue, stay out! ^o^ Nor do I own the song "Natural" by SClub7. Would be nice to d/l it and listen to it while reading this chapter!

Warnings: I guess none, except the obvious Sorato at the end... Read at your own risk!

Chapter 9

The next morning Sora stayed in bed until twelve. Yamato never left her mind. She tried

to call him again, but the line was still busy. And then there was something else to worry

about – Christmas gifts.

Her mother already got gifts for all her friends, and Sora kind of realized that all her other

friends did too. After all, there were only five days left till Christmas Day.

As much as she didn't want to get out of bed, Sora knew she had to go shopping. And

then a question popped into her head out of the blue – what to get for Yamato?

//Why did I start thinking about him all of a sudden again?// she asked herself in

frustration.

Sora put on her jeans and top, then her fur boots and coat. On the way to the door, she

donned her fur hat and her favorite leather gloves. She discovered that her mother was

out, and left a note on the refrigerator for her. She grabbed the list she'd made quite a

while ago and headed out to the discount centers.

After a couple of hours, Sora managed to get gifts for everyone except Yamato. She

made a tour around the music center, but nothing looked good enough.

//Why do I suddenly care?// she fumed at herself. //I got Taichi a stuffed alligator and Jou

a yearly planner. Since when do I care if a gift's good enough?//

She was looking at the CD players in the electronics isle, and they were all tuned to the

same radio station. Sora liked to put them all on maximum volume and then leave before

she got into trouble, but when she heard the song they all played, her hand stopped in

midair.

"Baby loving you

Comes easily to me

It's what I'm living for

It's all in the chemistry

Baby loving you

Is how it's meant to be

It's something that is

Oh so natural to me…"

She was thinking about Matt again as she listened to the rest of it.

"We've got the answers

And there's no explanation

We've got each other baby

Come what may

It's in the science,

It's genetically proven

Cause when you touch me

The reaction just blows me away…"

And suddenly it dawned on her.

//Matt! I want Matt!// she screamed in her head, and gratefully looked at the radio. //No

wonder it felt like it was meant to be, because it was!//

She would almost cry, she never felt so happy. She rushed out to the check out, and, after

paying for her stuff, headed straight to the music store. The best gift idea just popped into

her head.
