Too many loose ends. Well, actually not. I like loose ends, actually. It's just. That chapter was such crap. Seriously, all the spelling and grammar errors and general quickness. I need to sleep more. So I decided to add a quick epilogue.

Key word there is quick. It's not much, just a quick meeting between TK and Tai, because I think it's their story that got the least amount of justice, since I never even explained exactly why they broke up. Sure it was because Matt was pissed, but anyway. I'll just let them do the talking.

Oh - I don't own Digimon or its characters. Also, this is meant to take place a short while after chapter 8.

He Melts With Her:

An Epilogue

The lanky blonde boy sitting at the counter looked impatient. Even from an outsider's perspective, it was easy to see he was meeting someone here. Just as easy to see that person was late.

After he had been there about fifteen minutes, the boy stood up, placed the dollar fifty on the counter to pay for his chocolate milk, and prepared to leave. As if on cue, a tall brunette dashed through the door, ringing the tiny overhead bell, and preventing the other from his exit.

They both sat down, the blonde with a scowl on his face, "What's the excuse this time, Tai?"

"Missed the subway," he panted, clearly out of breath.

TK rolled his eyes, "Whatever."

Signaling the waitress to bring him a glass of water, Tai adjusted his weight. "So what's this supposed to be about, anyway?"

"Matt," TK answered quickly, "I doubt you heard. Mom mentioned it to me."

"What happened?" Tai asked, worry washing over his body.

The younger boy looked down and away, avoiding eye contact, "He and Sora broke it off."

"What?"

"They broke up."

A bit of annoyance rose in Tai's voice, "You called me all the way down here to tell me your brother and his fiancé broke up?"

"Well… yes. You're his best friend, and -"

"I'm not his best friend."

The blonde boy cocked an eyebrow, "Only since you were about twelve."

"Not anymore." Tai shrugged nonchalantly.

Eyes drifted back down and away from the other, TK shrugged also, "Okay."

Realization slowly drifted over Tai. "This is about Sora, isn't it? You still love her."

"Actually -"

"Because she's a great girl. If you love her, go after her!"

"No, it's just -"

"I mean, he gave her up. Which means it's your turn. It happened before and…"

"Shut up for just one minute!" TK bellowed, quite surprised with himself. And he was even more pleasantly surprised when the older boy fell silent, allowing him to continue. "It's not about Sora. It's about Matt."

Now it was Tai's turn to quirk his brow. "You love Matt?"

"No, but I'd bet even money Kari still does."

A bit of red crept up into Tai's face, "Leave my sister out of this. She's already gone through enough."

"Your sister?" TK asked, as if in disbelief. "How about my brother? How about me and you and Izzy? How about Davis? What about all of them? Seems to me like Kari's the only one who didn't have to go through any shit after what she did."

In a flash, Tai was out of his seat, fist drawn back over the younger boy. "I said leave Kari out of it."

Ignoring the impending pummeling, TK's voice remained calm. "You know that's why Matt left the band. He was just so sad at what your sister did to him. Which is why our band now sucks. No offense or anything, Tai, you know we do. And Davis? Do you know how long he probably fantasized about that? And how it actually went down, he's practically depressed."

"It was Davis's fault too, though," Tai said stubbornly.

"And now," TK continued, "I'm almost sure it was her that broke up Matt and Sora's engagement. Last week, when I was over there, I saw Kari's purse. You know, the red one? It was on his counter."

It took Tai a moment to come up with something to counter this. "She hasn't mentioned him…"

"And he hasn't mentioned her," TK confirmed.

"So what?" Tai asked, swirling his straw through his drink slowly, "You think they're still seeing each other."

The younger boy shrugged. "Make what you want of it, I've gotta be to work in ten minutes. We coulda talked longer, but you had to miss the damn subway…"

Tai stood up, "I guess I'll go too then, no use sitting here all alone."

"See you at rehearsal Tuesday. Lord knows we need it."

"Thursday. Rehearsals are Thursdays. Always have been."

"Oh. Thursday, then. See ya later, Tai."

"Bye TK."

So I guess it was super pointless. Mostly to say Matt and Sora broke up. And I'm NOT implying they got back together. You can do that on your own. Still.

This was a stupid idea. I need to get back to writing That Summer.

Tah.
