A/N: I got the internet finally!!! so I'll try to update more soon.
I'm kinda stuck on this chappie. I really need the creative juices flowing. I put in my NFG Cd to liven this things up, just ate a powder donut, and now I've got my Brody hat on!
Hopefully I'll know what to write!
I wanna thank all my reviewers! If it weren't for you pplz, I wouldn't be motivated to write this.
Don't worry Kawaii-Q, u'll find out what sora realized in this chappie. In fact it's like the first thing u'll read. It's not that big, but I juts wanna tell evryone it will be taiora!
I kno I don't spell evrything right, ad leave some words out. Sry. I suck at typing, that's y I'm taking keyboarding nxt yr.
Thanx for the advice TanukiGirl22. I'll have somone check it over, and then I'll check it over.
Sora sat down on the comfortable sofa. She laid her head back, and closed her eyes. After a minute or two, she took in a deep breath, then leaned over to the table. The red head took a sip of her hot cocoa. Then her thoughts began to proceed again. Only thinking about a certain blonde. Matt.
'...he still loves me...oh Matt.'
She sighed again, taking in another sip.
"What will I do now?"
'What should I do? Call her....or don't call her?'
He laid on his bed in deep thought. His hands rested under his head. He stared at the ceiling in concentration, as if it held his answers.
The only thing he could think of was her. Sora Takenouchi, the girl of his dreams, literally. He thought about how much he loved her, how much he missed her. The guilt he felt for leaving, and how much he hurt her. He couldn't bare to look at her cry again.
He felt like crying himself. To think, the man that claims to love her, has caused her so much pain.
"I...I can't call her. No...I'll wait."
He got up, and walked out of his room.
The next day all the girls, regarding Sora were at the Yagami residence. They had been there for an hour already. They didn't get anything done yet, because they decided to have some lunch and talk.
Mimi had already told them why Sora wasn't present, and why she more than likely was not going to the party. Both Kari and Yolei had no idea about the fight that Sora and Tai held the day before, so naturally they believed it. But they both had a feeling that it wasn't exactly the truth, like something was missing.
"So where have the boys gone too anyway?" Yolei asked.
Mimi shrugged, but Kari knew the answer.
"They said they were going to the park for awhile, to play soccer. Then they said they'd just go places."
"I didn't see Matt leave with them. Where is he?" Yolei asked, this time only referring to Mimi.
"Oh, well he said he couldn't make it. He had to meet up with his band, last minute."
She lied.
The truth was, he was with Sora.
Flashback
Mimi and Matt walked side to side on the sidewalks of Odaiba. Both were on their way to the apartment complex where both the Yagami's and Takenouchi's resided in. Although Mimi had thought they were both just going to Tai's, Matt had other plans.
"Uh...Mimi?" Matt said, breaking the silence.
"Yeah?"
"I think I'm going to go stay with Sora." his eyes never meet hers. They were only focused on the ground.
Mimi stared at him. They had stopped walking, now standing in front their destination.
"Oh..okay. But why? I thought you were going to hang out with the guys?"
"I was thinking about it last night. After what Sora told us yesterday...I...I mean I just think she may need us more then Tai and the others do. Listen, I don't think I can exactly face Tai without some kind of conflict, and I think I'll just keep her company." he finally took his eyes off the ground and onto the brunette.
"I guess you're right. Tell you what, If anybody asks about the whereabouts of you I'll cover." she gave him a smile.
"Thanks Mimi. We'd better get going, I don't want anyone finding me here." he smiled as well.
End Flashback
"Mimi, did anything happened yesterday with Tai and Sora?" Kari asked.
"No, not that I know of ...why?" she lied again. She hated lying to them, she was meant to be the child of sincerity, and yet she was lying to her closest friends. She had a good reason too though, lying to her close friends to help cover for her best friends.
"Well, last night when I came back home after shopping with you guys, Tai didn't seem like himself. He was kind of depressed and cranky. It reminded me of well...when Sora and Matt were together...." she trailed off.
Mimi wasn't sure of what to do now. She wanted to tell them the truth, that she knew why Tai was like that, but wasn't sure if it was right. Would Sora think it's okay?
"Don't worry Kari, I'm sure it was nothing. Maybe he was just tired or watched a sad movie or something." Yolei said.
"Maybe, not so sure about the movie thing, but I can't help but worry."
'I can't let Kari keep on worrying about this.'
"Kari...I lied." she began. This caught Kari and Yolei's attention. "I know what happened to your brother."
"What?! Why didn't you tell me?" Kari asked.
"I'm sorry, I just wasn't sure if I could."
"Don't worry about that Mimi. But tell us, what happened."
A sigh came from Mimi as she told the story that Sora has told her.
Sora and Matt were sitting on the couch, lazily. As she rested her head on his shoulder, as she usually did. They were watching a movie, the t.v., set in front of the two teens.
"Matt, I still can't believe you haven't seen Zoolander before!" Sora said, breathing out a laugh.
"So what? Does that make me some kind of loser?"
"Yes it does." she said sarcastically.
Then Sora gasped out of happiness.
"What is it?"
"This is one of my favorite parts!" she began saying a few lines from the movie.
"Orange Mocha Frapuccino! Wake me up,. Before you go-go!"
(A/N: I'm sorry I had to add that! I luv that part! If u haven't seen zoolander I suggest u do! It's hilarious!)
Matt couldn't help but laugh at both her actions and the movie. She seemed so adorable to him, when she did that.
The time passed rather quickly for them. The movie was almost over. They were up to the part where Derek's about to kill the prime minister.
"Matt."
"Hmm?"
"Thanks for staying here with me. It really means a lot." she kept staring at the T.V. waiting for a response.
"Your welcome. I'd rather be here, than with the guys and Tai." the words spilled out of his mouth. He blushed lightly, as did Sora.
Sora knew now her suspicions about Matt's love for her was true. The movie finally ended, and the credits were rolling.
"Matt?"
"Yeah Sor?"
"Do...do you still have feelings for me?"
He wasn't expecting this at all. She had caught him off guard. He took a gulp, and answered the question to which she knew the answer too.
He looked her straight in the face.
"I'm sorry Sora...but yes I do. I..I still love you." he looked down. "I know this isn't what you need what right, but I do. I know you love Tai and he loves you. I want you two to be together. Things happen for a reason, we broke up so you two can be together. I'll get over it Sora, honest."
As he finished his words, Sora placed a hand on his shoulder. He looked at her again. Looking for her response. She had a soft warm smile plastered on her face.
"Matt, it's okay. I'm sorry if I'm hurting you in anyway..."
"No! You're not. I'm not mad or hurt by you at all."
She rested her head on his shoulder again. A smile still on her face.
"Thank you for everything Matt. From the Digital World and then."
"Once again, you're welcome. But I should thank you, I mean you helped make the man I am today." he said, giving out a little laughter, along with Sora.
"Your welcome."
"Sor, just promise me you'll never forget me."
"Of course I won't! You're my best friend for life, and my first love. How can a girl forget that! But, you can't forget me either, k?"
"Never crossed my mind. Hey, you wanna go get some pizza? I'll buy."
Her smile grew wider, as she nodded in agreement. Matt got up, and held his hand out.
"What's this all about?"
"Hey, I'm, just trying to be a gentlemen." he gave off a million dollar smile.
She laughed a little, and took his hand. She grabbed her bag, wrote a note to her mother, and the two teens exited the apartment.
"Hey thanks for the game you guys! I haven't played in months!" Tai exclaimed.
"Really?! Man! You still kicked our butts!" Davis hollered.
They all let out a laugh. Tai and T.K. played 2 on 2 with Davis and Cody. Izzy and Joe were watching them, and keeping score.
"Hey, why don't we all go out for some pizza?" Joe suggested.
They all agreed and headed for their usual pizza place. Tai more than happy to go back there. He missed, and kept telling them that. He was glad he was with his friends right now, it helped get his mind off of Sora.
The three girls had started decorating. They had streamers up, and tables set. They were working on the balloons. They were still a bit in aew at the fight Sora and Tai had. Noone talked about it after that. she hadn't told them about Sora faking sick and Matt with her.
Yolei was panting for air, she had already blown 25 balloons, and had just finished another.
"...hey...you...guys...can...we...take a...break?"
"Sure yolei." Kari said. They were already sitting in the kitchen chairs of the table.
"I have to say, this place is looking pretty good! We should reward ourselves!" Mimi said excitedly.
"Yeah! I'm up for that. How about some pizza!"
"Okay, but can they deliver...I need to rest." Yolei said, exhausted.
They both nodded, and then Kari spoke.
"Hey, why don't go down to see Sora. We can hang out with her and eat some pizza." suggested Kari.
Mimi instantly stood up and shouted out "NO!" She didn't even expect she would do that. Yolei and Kari eyed her curiously.
" uh...Sorry about that. Well, no. we can't go. She's probably really sick, she could be contagious. And besides, she needs her rest. Not to mention, someone could just like break in here, and mess up all our decorations....and your furniture." Mimi said.
The two girls still had their looks of curiosity on.
"Um..okay Mimi. Sure." Yolei said, Kari nodded along with her.
Mimi let out a sigh of relief.
"Matt! I just thought of something!" she stopped abruptly, causing Matt to do so.
"What? What is it?"
"What if the guys see us?"
He never thought of that. If they were caught walking around the streets of Odaiba, then..he didn't even know what.
"I...I don't know. It's too late now, we're already here."
"Maybe we should just head back to my place, we'll catch a cab."
"No....we're here, so let's just stay and have pizza. What are the odds of them finding us here. We could think of something up in case they do." he didn't want to go through the trouble of coming from her apartment, make it to the pizza place, and then just go back before they did anything. He was hungry too.
"I..I guess so. Well, glad we have a plan." she smiled warmly to him. Matt couldn't help but smile back.
Then what they were worrying about just happened.
"Sora?! Matt?!" that voice was too familiar to them.
They both were shocked, and almost went white. Their heads shot towards the keeper of the voice.
"JOE?!" they said in unison.
They were like a deer in front of headlights.
"Sora..just follow me, k?" he whispered to her.
She nodded.
Joe had approached them, his expression full of wonder.
"What are you guys doing here? Sora, aren't you supposed be at home, you're sick. And didn't you have to meet with your band?"
"Well, you see..I- practice was short, so I thought I'd try and...find you guys. I um...went to Tai's place, but Mimi said they had no idea where you guys were...so...I uh..went to...." he started.
"..he went to my apartment to check up on me!" Sora finished for him.
"Well then why are you two here? Sora you should be at home resting. And..why didn't you just called us on one of our cells?"
"Well Joe, I was feeling better. Matt decided to take me out for some ice-cream."
"Yeah..and I didn't call you, cuz..well I never really thought of that." he gave out a nervous laugh. "Guess that slipped my mind."
"Oh..okay then." Joe was still very skeptical about all this. He decided to go with it. It wasn't a crime for the two to be going out for ice-cream.
"You guys wanna join us?" he asked. "We just ordered, and 'm sure there's at least enough for you guys. We could always order more."
"Well...we'd love to, but we just got back from eating ice-cream, and we're stuffed. 'Sides, I better get Sora home."
Joe nodded.
"Joe, why are you out here anyways?" Sora queried.
"Oh, I left my wallet in my car. Well I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow..right?"
"Yeah...I'll be there." Matt said, knowing the girl next to him wouldn't.
"Um..I don't know if I'll be able to make it. I am still pretty sick. And my mother wants me to help her with some flowers she brought home from work." she lied. "But...if I can break from that early, I'll come. It is only 2 floors up." she reminded him.
"Okay then. Bye you guys. Get better Sora." he ran back inside, hearing the goodbyes form his friends.
The two teens let out a sigh of relief.
"That was a close one. You know...we're pretty good at this." Matt said.
"What? Making up stories at the last minute?" Sora said, an eyebrow raised.
"Yup. That was pretty fun. Now, let's get you home."
"But what about the pizza?" she pouted.
"Like you said, we'll juts get a cab. Then we can call fro deliver." he grinned.
She smiled back at him, and called fo a cab.
A/N: I'm gonna end it here. I think the next chappie will be the last. Most likely it will. I'm sorry for the late update. I was really lost on this chappie, but it all worked out. In case ur wondering what a brody hat is, it's a cap with a pic of Adam brody taped on it! I'm sorry but I think he's so hot!
