To Lottie11: Haha, you made me realize that I have no exact… plot. Thank you.

AN: There really is no conflict, or main storyline. When I started this fic, it was just meant to be a feel good read I guess, but I never realized that there is no exact direction. What can I say? It's a cute little Sorato about Sora and Yamato as normal kids in a high school. I wanted the fic to stretch from when they meet in the beginning of the school year as seniors till the end when they graduate. Maybe even a nice little epilogue after that.

            I assure you though, my next fic (also Sorato) will definitely have a plot. I just dreamt it up one day in math class… I have the idea and all, but I didn't start yet, since I want to finish this fic before moving to another. I hope you all review that fic too! ^-^ All in all, I guess this fic is just a cute little read for people like myself, that like Sorato and it's just a start up fic for a first time author. I hope you do enjoy the fanfic, though and if anyone has any ideas, feel free to email me or leave a review. I'll be more than happy to take suggestions, or at very least take them into consideration. Thanks again for reading!

Digimon = Not mine.

Chapter X – Doors [AN: Hah, I was at a loss of titles, I know I know, not the most interesting name. Hehe, but there's a reason!]

            Yamato arrived at Sora's house early in the morning. Standing outside her mahogany door, he poised his hand over the doorbell, ready to press the circular button. He lowered his hand and took out the key to the lock instead. Yamato grinned as he inserted the key and turned it to open the door, he knew he was taking too much advantage of the key, but Yamato always had this desire to surprise the girl.

            The handsome blonde stepped quietly into the penthouse, closing the door gently behind him. Walking slowly on the waxed floor, he paused to pick up any noise that would signal to him where Sora was. He frowned when he didn't hear anything, but his expression immediately changed to one of shock and bashfulness when the beautiful auburn haired figure appeared in the room.

            Sora let out a tiny squeal when she saw Yamato standing in the living room, and he swore it was the cutest thing he had ever heard. She looked nothing short of a goddess when she entered, clad in nothing but a towel, having just stepped out of the shower. Her silky hair was tied up in a loose bun, and stray strands framed her features. Sora turned a color that matched her eyes, "um… Yamato…"

            Yamato snapped out of his daze and realized that he had been staring at her. He bent down his head, staring at the glossy shine of the hardwood floor. "…hi, Sora." He said quietly, unsure of what else to say.

            Sora watched, amused as Yamato's skin turned into a dark shade of red. Is he blushing? She thought. The idea delighted her and she smiled widely, forgetting about her lack of clothing, Sora giggled, catching Yamato's attention and making him look up. "Yamato, you're blushing!"

            He turned an even darker shade than possible and looked down sheepishly, "Yeah, so?" He tried to defend himself, but added quietly, "It's kind of hard not to."

            Sora laughed harder, "This is so cute! Anyway Yamato, it is your fault since you just walked straight into my home like that."

            Yamato began to feel uncomfortable with the new sensation of blushing. The blonde was known to never have blushed in front of a girl before, but this auburn headed girl was able to make him change color just by walking out and looking good. "Okay, okay, my fault. Shouldn't you go and change?" He said, desperately wanting to change topics.

            Sora's laughter could be heard as she walked up the stairs, where it was silenced by the opening and closing of the door to her bedroom. Yamato sighed and seated himself on her couch, turning on the television.

            A short while later, Sora walked out of her room clad in a pair of black flares and pink long sleeved shirt with a red heart placed in the middle. Her hair flowed down in wavy and free strands. Walking over to the stair railings, she looked down to the lower level and frowned when Yamato was nowhere to be seen. Midway of her decent down the stairs, a light sizzling sound could be heard. Making her way to the kitchen door, she smiled at what she saw and leaned on the doorframe.

            The handsome blonde, currently working at the stove, looked up when he sensed the presence of a certain red haired girl. She looked beautiful, casually dressed and leaning against the doorframe. "Hey Sora."

            "Yama, did you raid my refrigerator?"

            Yamato used the spatula in his hand to point at the eggs lying on the counter, "Just some eggs and bacon. I wanted to make you breakfast."

            The girl's eyes lit up and she smiled genuinely, "Really? That's so sweet."

            Yamato grinned, "I thought you should start getting used to it, since I'll be here a lot more," he winked.

            Sora tossed her head back and laughed, "I don't think so." She moved over to where Yamato stood and peered into the frying pan. "Wow Yama, you're pretty good."

            He smiled widely, "Another one of my many talents."

            "Whatever."

            A short paused followed, broken by Yamato. "Hey Sora, I was just wondering why you don't use the shower upstairs in your room."

            "Ooh, still thinking about me in the shower, eh?" she teased and laughed when she saw the blonde blush. "I like the one downstairs better, it's bigger."           

            Yamato nodded while placing the freshly cooked eggs next to the bacon on the china plates. He took the two plates and set them on the cherry table nearby the window. Yamato bowed dramatically and motioned to the plates with his hands, "Breakfast is served, Madame."

            Sora giggled and walked over to the table where Yamato waited with his hands on a chair, ready to pull it out for the pretty girl. For fun, Sora walked passed him, seated herself, and smiled sweetly at the handsome blonde.

            Yamato frowned and took a seat, "You know Sora, you could be nice and let me help you sit down."

            She grinned, "Yeah, but I like this chair better."

            "Hn…"

            "Aw come on, Yama! Cheer up. If you'd like, I can let you open the door for me." Sora said between her laughter.

            The blonde's expression brightened, "Alright then!"

            "You're such a kid." The red haired girl said as she took a bit of her eggs. Enjoying the taste, she took another fork full.

            Yamato watched the girl, amused at the fact that she liked the breakfast he cooked for them. "Excuse me, but kids do not have a very nice Z4 BMW waiting for them across the street."

            "Not unless they're rich like you are."

            "Hey-" Yamato stopped; at a loss of words he just simply looked down and ate his breakfast.

            Sora smiled, "Alright, so where is this "very nice Z4 BMW" going to take us today?"

            Yamato grinned, "The amusement park."

            The girl's crimson eyes widened, "The amusement park? It's kinda far, isn't it?"

            "Exactly why I'm here so early."

            "I've never been on a roller coaster."

            "Exactly why I'll be right next to you so you can hold onto me, the Yamato Ishida while you scream."

            Sora raised an eyebrow and kicked Yamato under the table. "I think you've been hanging out with Tai too much."

            The blonde grinned, while rubbing the sore spot on his leg, "Alright, you ready?"

            "Yup." Sora answered as she ate the last of her bacon. "Let's go."

            The car ride was two hours long, and it was then that Sora realized how well Yamato knew his way around. The "very nice Z4 BMW" pulled into a parking spot with ease. A blonde ran out of the car, circling to the other side and opened the door for an auburn haired girl.

            Sora shook her head at Yamato as she stepped out of the car. "You dork."

            "Hey, a deal's a deal! I get to open all the doors for you today."

            "I said, "the door" not all doors."

            "Same thing." Yamato grinned, locking his car and turning on the alarm. Taking Sora's hand, he led her away to the entrance of the amusement park.

            "Fantasy Land? They couldn't think of something more original?" Sora said, standing in front of the large banner, blowing in the wind. The two were on line to buy tickets, and Yamato still subconsciously held her hand. Sora had grown used to the warmth and had forgotten about it.

            "Despite their name, this place is great, I love it."

            "Kid."

            Yamato pouted, but before he could say another word, someone pounced onto him, messing up his golden hair. "What the hell?!" He yelled. Yamato shook his head and tried to grab the figure to no prevail.

            When the struggling ceased, laughter could be heard coming from two people, Sora and…

            "Tai?!" Yamato stared at the chocolate haired boy on the ground, clearly dying from laughter. "What are you doing here?"

            "Aki… tickets… uncle…" The boy struggled to say between his fits of laughter.

            The blonde glared at the boy, "You can stop laughing now, Tai." Turning to his right, he saw Sora holding her sides in laughter, "Really, I don't see what's so funny."

            "Your… hair…" The girl said, while trying to contain her laughter. Finally, after another four minutes, she took in a deep breath and took out a mirror. Holding it up to Yamato she said, "Your hair is really messed up."

            Yamato stared in horror at his reflection. His golden mane had been left in a chaotic mound on his head. He scowled at Tai, "You're dead, Kamiya."

            In a flash, he was after Tai, aiming to seriously injure the brown haired boy. Sora followed, leaving their spots on the line.

            Tai came to a stop behind a blonde with amethyst eyes, Yamato walked over slowly, "Get out of the way, Aki."

            Aki practically teleported away, leaving Tai defenseless, he grinned, "Sorry man, but you know how he is about his hair."

            Yamato grabbed Tai and hooked his arm around his neck. Placing his knuckles against Tai's head, Yamato gave Tai an extremely painful noogie [AN: Holy shit, does anyone actually know how to spell that?! I hope you guys know what I'm talking about, cuz 'noogie' doesn't exactly pop up in the dictionary. Heh.] The chocolate one retaliated by hitting Yamato in the stomach, making the blonde let go of Tai. Yamato lunged at Tai, punching him in the jaw.

            As the two continued their physical abuse, Sora stood between Jeff and Jamie who were also there. She turned to Jeff, "They're just playing, right?"

            Jeff laughed, "No. They'll usually end up with bruises."

            Sora's ruby eyes widened, "And no one's going to stop them?"

            "This happens all the time. They're not actually in an argument, if that's what you mean by "just playing", but the punches are real."

            Jamie leaned over to Sora, "Don't worry about it, they're used to it."

            She sighed, "Idiots." Turning to Aki she remembered about the tickets, "Hey Aki, Tai said something about your uncle and tickets?"

            "Oh right, my uncle got a group pass to this amusement park, but he has no time for anything, so he gave them to me. It's enough for seven people, we called up you and Matt, but no one was home." He grinned, "I guess you guys came here for your date."

            Sora reddened, "It's NOT a date, we were just bored and it's convenient since we live about a block away from each other."

            Jeff laughed and cut it, "Right, it's more like excuses if you ask me."

            Diverting the attention away from herself, Sora turned to watch the two boys still fighting. "This has been goin' on for too long, can't we just stop them?"

            Jeff looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "You can try."

            "Alright, I will."

            Yamato retracted his fist, ready to throw a punch at Tai, but as he did so, an auburn blur ran into the chocolate haired boy, knocking him down. Sora laughed from her position as Yamato stared down at her. "Sora… what are you doing?"

            "Stopping this. We're going to go in." Sora announced.

            "It would help if you got off of me, Sora." Tai said, from his spot on the floor. He was faced down on the ground, with Sora sitting on his legs.

            "It's your punishment, Tai, for fighting." The red head joked.

            Tai pouted, "Not fair! What about Yam-man's?"

            Sora thought for a while before finally coming to a decision. "He doesn't get to open doors for me."

            Yamato gasped, causing the girl to laugh. "NO!"

            Tai watched the two in amusement, "Are you serious? I get used as a chair, and he can't be your slave?"

            Sora stood up, dusting herself off, "Yeah."

            The park was amazingly vast and filled with people, impossible for them to go on every ride by the end of the day. They made a plan to split up and meet up at six by the last ride they would go on that day, The Boa. The Boa, was the largest roller coaster in the park, consisted of seven loops, and reaching to an altitude of higher than 230 feet, Sora had second chances about going onto the ride.

            Jamie and Aki parted from the group and went to ride on the Viking ship while the remaining four stood in line for the first roller coaster in sight. After about fifteen minutes of waiting, they were finally seated on the ride. Yamato was next to Sora, he leaned over and whispered, "First time, right?"

            Sora nodded, making sure she had a nice death grip on the metal bar before her.

            Yamato laughed, "You know, I'm sturdier than the bar." After his comment, he received a glare from Sora and the ride began.

            Sora walked out of the exit gate of the ride with Yamato and Tai. The chocolate haired teen said, "How was the first time, Sora? Pretty cool, huh?"

            The girl nodded in agreement. "Where to next?"

            "I'm kinda hungry," Tai announced, "I'm going to get some food."

            "I'll go with you, man. I'm kinda starved myself." Jeff said, and turned to Sora. "You coming, Sora?"

            She shook her head, "Nah, I wanna go on more rides."

            "I'll stick with Sora. Can't leave a girl all by herself, right?" Yamato said.

            Tai laughed, "Right man, you guys have fun on your date."

            Jeff laughed and followed Tai towards the food court.

            "It's NOT a date!" Sora yelled back. She turned to Yamato, "So, anywhere in mind?"

            "Anywhere you want to go."

            The auburn haired girl twirled a strand of her hair with her finger and smiled innocently, "Uh… I kinda wanted to go on the merry-go-round…"

            Yamato threw his head back and laughed genuinely, "And you said, I was a kid."

            Sora pouted, "Yeah, yeah, come on."

            Three rounds on the Merry-go-round, a haunted house, two roller coasters, and a couple of hot dogs and fries later, Yamato found himself in front of the dunk tank in the small carnival section of the amusement park. He held the small ball in his hand and tried to remember just why he was playing this game. Looking to his left at the gorgeous girl, he remembered that as they were passing the tank, Sora had pointed out the large wolf stuffed animal. In an attempt to please her, Yamato had decided to get ripped off to try the game. This girl had more influence over his actions than he realized.

            Yamato sighed, though it was his first try, he knew his chances of hitting the small target was slim. These games always tricked people into spending a large amount of money for nothing. If he didn't hit the target, not only was a good ten dollars wasted, but worse, he wouldn't be able to get the wolf for Sora. He was required to hit the target on all three turns in order to obtain the largest of the stuffed animals. He looked at Sora uncertainly, but relaxed when she just smiled.

            "Alright Ishida, if you can't even make a girl happy, then you're a failure." He thought to himself and threw the ball at the target.

            Sora laughed and hugged the soft wolf toy in her arms, "Thanks Yama!" Yamato gave himself too little credit; he had extremely good aim and Sora was impressed. "I'm gonna name him the teenage wolf, Matt."

            Yamato grinned, "Glad to know you'll be thinking of me every night."

            "But Matt's cuter."

            Yamato pouted. "Shouldn't have gotten you the thing…"

            Sora laughed and took Yamato's hand, "Come on, let's go."

            The Ferris wheel was the next stop for the two. Sora paid for her own ticket and they boarded onto the ride. The redhead sat next to Yamato, and placed the large stuffed toy on the other side of the small compartment.

            Yamato smiled and hooked his arm around her shoulders. "Isn't this romantic?"

            Sora burst into laughter at his comment and shrugged him off, "Not with you." She sighed, and turned to look out the window. From the high altitude, a large portion of the park could be seen and it amazed Sora. "But I do like the view."

            Yet another two roller coasters, haunted house, a fun house, the Viking ship, and two water rides later, the time was drawing close to six. Yamato glanced at his watch, "We should start heading towards the Boa."

            Sora nodded in agreement, "Alright."

            Aki and Jeff were already at the ride, looking up at it in awe. When Yamato and Sora showed up at the ride, Jeff grinned widely, "I knew you guys were gonna end up alone. Mm hm."

            Sora sighed, "It's-"

            "NOT a date, we know." Aki finished for her.

            From a distance, Jeff and Tai could be seen coming towards the group. Tai stopped in front of Yamato, "We're all here!"

            "Let's get in line." Jamie said, while walking over to the lengthy row of people, eager to ride on The Boa.

            Half an hour later, Jeff stared at the ride. "Alright! We're next, man! Next!"

            Aki laughed, "Man, calm down, don't piss in your pants now."

            Jeff calmed down a bit, "Whatever."

            Yamato leaned towards Sora, "Scared yet?"

            Sora looked at him with a raised brow. "No way."

            The sapphire-eyed boy laughed, "Alright, alright."

            Sora smiled, "But I might sit next to you to make sure you're okay."

            Yamato grinned widely, "How thoughtful." He placed his arm around Sora, and before she could say anything, he gave enough money to the man for both their tickets and dragged her to the ride.

            "Thanks, but you don't need to pay for me." Sora said, when they were seated on the roller coaster.

            "I wanted to." Yamato stated. With a jolt, the ride started, immediately boosting off on a sharp incline. Startled by the movement, Sora held Yamato's hand, calming herself down.

            The group exited the ride, an energetic redhead walking happily in front of Tai and Yamato. Sora laughed blissfully, "That ride rocked! That was so cool!"

            Yamato, Tai, and Jeff looked sickeningly pale as they walked slowly after the girl. "Uh, you sure you don't need to rest for a while? We can sit down on the bench for you." Tai wheezed out.

            "Yes, I think you're really tired, Sora. We should sit down." Yamato agreed.

            Sora laughed, "Dorks, alright, let's sit down, since I'm so tired." She paused, Yamato and Tai sighed, and she continued, "So after I'm feeling better, we can go ride it again."

            Tai shot up, "Come to think of it, it is getting late, we can rest in the car. I mean, you can rest in the car."

            Yamato nodded furiously, "Yes, yes, let's go, Sora. It's a two hour ride back home."

            Sora laughed and let Yamato take her hand, quickly dragging her off in the direction of the parking lot. With the stuffed wolf in her free arm, she turned back and yelled goodbyes to Tai, Jeff, Aki, and Jamie. They smiled and waved in return. Though they were all headed to the same destination, Yamato was eager to leave The Boa and pulled Sora along at an alarmingly fast rate. The others were left behind and Sora watched as they became dots on the horizon.

            The two hours home was long and quiet. It turned out that Sora really was tired, and twenty minutes into the ride, she fell asleep with her head rested against the soft, large, plush animal, her hair draped over its artificial fur, creating a silk curtain. Yamato glanced at the peaceful sight and smiled.

            A handsome blonde ran ahead to hold open the glass door for Sora- much to the doorman's confusion, as she walked into the building. Sora laughed, "You dork."

            Yamato smiled while they were in the elevator on the way up to the top. "So now I'm a flirt and a dork?"

            The auburn haired girl laughed as the doors of the elevator opened on the 23rd floor. "If it helps, you're cute too."

            Yamato hugged Sora's waist from behind her as she had her back turned to open the door to her apartment. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I knew it."

            Sora froze; the close proximity was driving her mad. She could feel her cheeks burn and moved to struggle out of his arms. Hastily opening the door, she turned back to Yamato, hoping that the deep blush was gone. "Thanks for the great day, Yama."

            The blonde reached an arm behind his head, scratching the back of his neck. "Thanks for coming. So Sora, since we live like a block from each other… you wanna go to school tomorrow, together?"

            The girl smiled radiantly, "Sure Yama."

            As she closed the door Yamato stopped her, "Don't I get a goodnight kiss?"

            Sora smiled slyly, closing the door in his face. Her laughter could be heard through the door.

AN: Hey, thanks for reading again! Sorry this took a while to get up… heh, I'm not sure, but I think the next chapter will be shorter… hm… Thanks to everyone!
