One Week...
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.
Bi: [cries]
RD: [comfortingly, trying to sing] Don't you worry 'bout a thing, 'cos every little thing's... gonna be all right. (And I don't own THAT line either.)
Bi [looks up] Dream, stop singing. I think you've just broken a light bulb.
RD: That's my bird.

Part 10: The Most Challenging Week of my Life
*Tai*
What had been going on? One minute I was lying drowsily on a snowy slope with the others sitting around and Mimi wearing my sweater. The next, I seem to be tucked up in bed with a nasty tingling in my feet and people talking in whispers outside. Hey, maybe this whole thing had been a dream, then. A shame, it had looked like turning out to be a great adventure.
But one thing was clear from my dream, if a dream it was. I shuddered and tried to look like I was still asleep. When I woke up I'd have to talk to Sora, and tell her something no-one should have to tell their fiancée.
Sora, it's over.
How could it have happened like this? The two of us getting ready to spend the rest of our lives together, and then someone beautiful and unattainable had to mess up the whole situation. I'm sorry, Sora. She's just the most wonderful person I ever saw. And in my dream last night, there had been no question I'd do anything-
I hoped everyone had had a good sleepover. Especially- shudder- Mimi. I shook my head to try and throw out the treacherous thoughts in it.
As I ran through my options I heard someone come over to my bed. I opened one eye a fraction to take a look.
Not Matt, or Mimi, or Izzy. The one person I'd been hoping for once not to see, with her pretty skirt and her ruffled reddish hair. "Oh, Tai," she said, a little awkwardly. "You're awake."
My feet tingled even more, as though somebody was shooting cold water at them from a hosepipe. "Where am I?"
"You're in a little place we found. Izzy'll fill you in later if you want. But Tai- I want to talk to you."
"I need to talk to you, too," I murmured. She sat down on the end of the bed and looked at me. For one last moment we were still boyfriend and girlfriend, before I opened my mouth to break the news.
"I- can't marry you, Sora. I'm sorry." There. I'd had the courage to say it, now I could only hope she'd be all right.
Strangely, she almost smiled. "I'm...glad you feel that way, Tai. You see, I can't marry you either." I watched hypnotised as a tear snaked its way down her cheek.
"Sora, I'm in love with someone else." She nodded. Did she understand? "She's beautiful. But - she's too much of a high-flyer to ever notice me."
"He's beautiful too," she whispered, and I stared at her in amazement, shocked by her first words and bewildered by her next. "But I'll never see him again."
Suddenly Izzy entered the room, giving a slight cough. "Sorry to interrupt the two of you, but there appears to be a rather large monster outside."
"A MONSTER?" I shouted. So it hadn't been a dream after all! "What does it want?"
"Well, I haven't done much research," said Izzy, "but from the look of it, I think it wants to take over the Digiworld. Horrible-looking thing. Huge green eyes, menacing glare, long sweeping wings with things on the end that look like black tentacles- Sora? Did I say something wrong?"
"Come on, Tai," Sora said, standing up. "We've got to go and save the world."
My feet felt so numb I could hardly move them. "But Sora, what good are we going to be against a massive Digimon?"
"Tai, that's not like you," she said, and I realised it wasn't. I made a decision. I didn't understand what was wrong with Sora, but there was a world to save and tingling feet or not, I intended to do what I could to save it.
We made our way out of the village, unsure of what we would see but certain that we had a part to play in this story. As we passed through the gate I turned to Sora. It might hurt, but I just had to know. I was surprised when I heard her ask the same thing.
"Who?"
And I felt a tremor of shock as the same answer formed on both our lips.
"Your best friend."
Matt....?
But there was no time for that now. As we walked away from the village gates Mimi suddenly shrieked at me. "Get down!"
I threw myself forward. A minute later the snow-covered tree beside me burst into white-blue flames.
We looked upward and gasped. High above the Digiworld, an enormous creature was resting with its hand on the world's highest peak. What was it called? Spiral Mountain? Or something. I couldn't even think about the size of this Digimon. It twitched its huge wings and flicked the tentacle-like wires at their ends.
"Looks like it's just shooting randomly at the moment," I decided. "We might have time to figure out what to do-"
And then the Digimon started to speak.

Hang on in there, people!

Gerjomarty- Fanfic authors dream of reviews like that.
HD- I can't GET italics. Darned server item. Btw, I've got writer's block on the Taiora. never volunteer to write a couple you can't really get your mind around.
Dana Hirsh- Wow, thanks! [giggles nervously] But does this mean my email's in full view?
Savoan Locc- (if that's how you spell it) I won't accept such language. We can't all be Sorato fans. Live and let live, and don't insult.
Agumon2003- I can't remember, did I already say hi?
Forever Takari- Thanks. Hmmmm. maybe.
Scorpion05- Yes, I agree, they do.
Miaow227- I'm blushing!
