// Hi everybody. I was raiding my archives and I found this old Christmas fic. It was wrote about two Christmasses ago, so it might be a little crusty in the writing department, but for old times sake, i stuck it on. I don't own digimon, if that's what you wanted to hear.

In this fic, the digidestined don't know each other (except for Tai/Sora, Tai/Kari and Matt/TK), although the digital world adventures never happened. Nothing to do with digimon occurs in this fic, except the season one digidestined.

Rendezvous

chapter one: lone hearts

* * * * *

TK was restless. He had never been so restless in his life. He just looked up at the ceiling. He then looked at his watch. It read 2:30am. Just lying there, on his bed. Staring at the ceiling. It was bare, yet so lifeless. He felt the same way. He was reaching 14, and hadn't even went out. Most people in Glenview High had lost their virginity by now, or at least went out. But he hadn't even had any interest in girls. Whenever his friends asked him, he usually got all nervous and just said he was waiting for the right person to come. His friends kept on sweating it. 'TK dosen't have a girlfriend!'. He was once even playing cards with 3 other friends (or so-called friends) and one said: 'Hey TK! Read 'em and weep! 3 kings and a virgin!'. He had reached boiling point. The bullying never stopped. He started crying. He thought to hinself, 'Crying is for babys. It won't get me anywhere.'. But he couldn't stop. He finally cried himself to sleep. At that point, someone else poked his head into the room. It was Matt.

* * * * *

She just couldn't sleep. Kari kept on tossing and turning. When she looked over at her alarm clock. it read 2:30am. She thought to herself, 'I can't take this!'. She got up and looked out of the window at the passing nightly traffic. Just lights speeding past, nothing more. She felt so lonely. Everybody else in Stranurlar High had at least dated anyone, let alone had it with someone. She hadn't done either. She kept saying to her friends she never got round to it. But really, she never had the guts to. Her friends also kept on teasing her about this. 'Some friends they are' she thought. This is a cruel and strange world for people like her. She couldn't take it anymore. She got back into bed and cried herself to sleep. Someone else had heard and seen this aswell, it was Tai.

* * * * *

The next day, TK was in a particulary bad mood. He had school again. matt walked into the kitchen. He was staying over for the week and had come yesterday afternoon. "Hey, TK," he said. He knew something was wrong. "Oh, hi Matt," he didn't sound too frisky. "Is something the matter? Do you want to tell me about..." "Nothing's the matter, Matt!" TK interupted. He was getting angry now. "No need to bite my head off, I was just trying to help," said Matt. "Oh, sorry Matt. I'm off to...to school," he stuttered a bit, then went out the door with his schoolbag. 'Something's definately wrong with him' matt thought.

* * * * *

The next day, kari wasn't feeling the best. She came into the kitchen dragging her heels. "Hi Tai," she said. Tai noticed she sounded like when she used to be really sick. "Kari, you look awful, do you want to tell me what's the matter?" Tai sounded concerned. "What gave you the idea that something was wrong with me?" she said, snapping at him a bit. "You, just look bummed," tai said again. "I'm off to..." she gulped. "...to school." She walked out a little slower than usual. 'Something's definatley wrong with her' Tai thought.
