~^~Chapter 3- Putting the Pieces Together~^~
Sora eagerly sat in Chemistry the next day. She was awaiting the arrival of her mysterious man. Her hope was somewhat lost when the Professor began to lecture and Matt (20) hadn't arrived. 'I guess too much of a good thing is a bad things. My hopes were way too high for this guy...' Sora thought and placed her head down on the lab table.
Not too long after Sora had almost dozed off, Matt came stumbling into the class room.
"Better late than never, Mr. Ishida. Please take your seat, we're about to begin the lab for today," the Professor said.
Matt nodded and went to find his seat. Sora found herself smiling at him and noticed that he smiled back. 'Wait! Don't seem too eager to see him, he might think you're obsessive or something!' Sora thought and quickly wiped the smile off her face.
"Good morning," Matt said flashing another smile at her.
"Morning."
"How are you today?"
"I'm good. And yourself?"
"Great."
Sora couldn't help but smile this time and then she noticed everyone getting up from their seats and retrieving supplies.
"Guess it's time for the lab," Matt stated, "I'll go get the stuff."
"Trying to hit it off with the new guy again? Huh, Sora?" Jasmine leaned over and giggled at her friend.
"Tai told me that I should ask him out tonight," Sora said, "You know, as a friendly, not wanting anything more than friendship, date."
"Nothing more than friendship huh? Yeah, right. But I think he's got a good idea. I think you two would make a really cute couple if you got together eventually. Good luck."
"Thanks."
"So do you have any idea what we're doing?" Matt said approaching the small table, "I guess I missed the memo."
"Yeah, we're doing chemical combustion."
"Cool. Lets get started."
*20 minutes later*
"So Matt..." Sora spoke suddenly just before their chemicals exploded.
"Yes ma'am?" Matt replied.
"Do you have any, um, plans... for tonight?"
"Nothing that I can recall. May I ask why?"
"Well, I was um, wondering if you would like to um..."
"Like to..."
"I'm sorry. I've never done this before."
"Done what? Asked someone out?"
Sora blushed, "How did you know?"
"Ah, it's not the first time I've been asked out. But yes, I'd love to."
"So dinner-"
"And a movie."
"And maybe a walk-"
"Through the park."
"Sounds good."
"Pick you up at seven?"
"Great."
"Cool."
'That was way easier than I thought it would be' Sora thought.
'She's cute' Matt thought.
Sora skipped happily up to her penthouse and unlocked the front door. She walked into the house and noticed that Tai hadn't arrived home from school yet. She did, however, notice a familiar pink-haired girl sitting on the couch flipping through a magazine. The girl on the couch turned her gaze to Sora but then it soon fell back to the magazine as she spoke.
"Nice to know you're home every once in a while," the girl said chewing on her gum.
"Mimi... why are you in my house?" Sora wondered looking at her strangely and placing her purse down on the table.
"Well, I can't get a hold of you on the phone so I thought I would drop by to talk to you instead. Didn't you read the note? I told you I'd be back if you ignored me."
"How'd you get in?"
"Ah, I have my ways."
"All right then..."
"Well, now that you're home, lets talk."
"About what?"
"Josh's party tonight."
'Oh shit. I totally forgot!'
"Meems..." Sora started.
"Why, why can't you go!?" Mimi said. She knew Sora had an excuse by the look on her face.
"I kind of have a date..."
"SORA!"
"I'm sorry! But he's really, really cute! And he's nice, and sweet, and charming... and not to mention he had great manners..."
"Wow, sounds like prince charming. What does he look like?"
"Blonde hair, beautiful blue eyes, he's got a perfect smile, great personality..."
"Damn! You really like him don't you? I've never seen you this psyched out about a guy before, like ever! What's his name?"
"Matt."
"Matt..."
"Um... I don't exactly remember his last name. I think it started with an "I"..."
"Um... yeah, I don't think I know him. Matt's not a very common name in Japan."
"Well actually his full name is Yamato, but he told me to call him Matt or Yama, but Matt's the cutest so I call him that."
"Yamato, huh?"
Sora started rambling on about her dream guy as Mimi tried to figure out who this guy was and why he sounded so familiar. 'Yamato... Yamato... why does that name ring a bell? Yamato I... Ish... Wait!'
"Ishida!?" Mimi blurted out right in the middle of Sora's day dreaming.
"Yeah! That's it! How did you know?"
"Ha! Lucky guess! How did you meet him?"
"He's new in my Chem. class. But as I was saying..."
Sora continued to ramble. 'Yep, prince charming is EXACTLY what Yamato Ishida is... a prince! Oh my gosh! Sora is going out with the prince of the French Empire! How the hell did that one happen?'
(a/n: If you guys remember correctly, in the digimon world tour episode Tk and Tai went to France. They have family there so I guess that makes them part French or whatever; note the blonde hair and blue eyes. So yeah, that's why he's the prince of France because if he was the prince of Japan Sora would know because she lives there.)
"Well Sora, sorry I have to cut the chat short but I need to get going! I hope you and your "prince" have a great time. It will be the experience of a lifetime, believe me. Have fun, be safe, and behave! I love you! See ya!" Mimi said quickly and ran out the door.
"Oh... okay. Bye, Meems..."
Sora was now bored because she had no one to talk to so she went and laid down on her couch. About two hours later she was fast asleep and Tai came stumbling in with two blonde girls at his sides.
"Taichi, who is she? Is she going to join us?" one of the wondered.
"No, she's my best friend. We live together, that's it," Tai said.
"Awe, that's cute. Are we gong to this or are we just going to stand here?" The other blonde spoke.
"Lets go!"
'A threesome with twins! This is so awesome!' Tai thought with a huge smile on his face. The three then went into Tai's bedroom and shut the door which awoke Sora.
Sora sat up and blinked a few times before she got up and made her way to the kitchen. She opened the fridge and grabbed a water bottle to quench her dry throat's thirst. 5:45pm was set on the microwave and Sora casually glanced at it not exactly paying attention as she drank the water. She then gasped and dropped the plastic bottle to the floor, which in return spilled water everywhere.
"Matt's going to be here in an hour! I have to get ready!" Sora freaked and ran to Tai's bedroom. "Tai have you seen my..."
Sora's eyes widened at what she saw: Tai, two blondes, and clothes thrown all over the floor.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Sora quickly apologized for interrupting them.
"Are you here to join us?" one of the twins asked feeling kinky.
"No, I um, have a date."
"Your loss."
"I uh... yeah... you two, uh, three have fun! Bye!"
Sora closed the door and walked into her room to start the shower. 'Why do I always walk in on him when he's having sex? I need to knock before I enter his room' she thought and quickly hopped in the shower.
* * *
An hour later Sora was completely dressed and ready to take on whatever Matt threw at her for the date. She was dressed in a casual jean skit (nothing fancy) that rode just above her knees, a baby blue and white stripped halter-top, and a pair of white, jeweled flip-flops. Her hair was straightened and held back with a clip so it would stay out of her face.
As Sora was applying her last bit of make up she heard a knock at the front door and knew it was Matt.
"Tai can you answer that, please?" Sora yelled from her bedroom.
"Got it!" Tai yelled back. He had finished his "business" 30 minutes earlier.
Tai was dressed in nothing but a pair of boxers and some loose fitting sweat pants. He had a bowl of cereal in his hands and his hair was way messier than usual. When he answered the door he saw Matt standing nicely dressed in front of him.
"Yeah?" Tai said rudely.
"Am I at the right house?" Matt wondered not expecting a guy to answer Sora's door.
"Who you lookin' for?"
"Miss Sora Takenouchi."
"Oh, so you must be the Matt guy she's been talking about. Yeah, she's here. Come in."
"Okay..."
Matt walked into the penthouse and was immediately in awe. He admired how nicely decorated the interior of the house was and approved of it. But he couldn't help but wonder who the guy that answered the door was. A boyfriend? brother? cousin? friend? husband even. He couldn't decide. But then he thought why would she have a husband or boyfriend and then ask him out on a date?
"She's getting ready. You know girls, they take forever. Make yourself at home," Tai said sitting on the couch and continuing to eat his cereal. Usually Sora cooked dinner for them but she was leaving that night so he had to fend for himself. Poor guy... ha! Not.
"Thanks," Matt said and made himself comfortable while waiting for Sora.
"I'll be out in a minute!" Sora yelled from the bedroom.
"Take you time!" Tai shouted back.
"So, may I ask how you know Sora? Are you her brother or something?" Matt questioned.
"Yeah, I'm her brother but not by blood."
Matt looked around confused.
"We're best friends. We've known each other our whole lives and we didn't want to be apart when we went to college so we're living together. You've got nothing to worry about man. She and I, never going to happen. She's all yours."
"Um... thanks."
"I'm ready!" Sora said entering the picture. She stood on the stairs gazing at Matt.
Matt's eyes fell to Sora and his jaw dropped. He literally thought she looked like an angel, what with the light shining on her through the window and the way she sparkled and all. 'She looks amazing' he thought as he stood up.
"Oh, I look bad don't I?" Sora said coming down the stairs and spinning around so Matt could see her full figure.
"No, you look-"
"Yeah, you're hot, you know it. Not get going on your date! And remember, your curfew is midnight! I don't want to have to come looking for you again!" Tai joked causing them both to laugh. It was obviously an inside joke between the two best friends.
"Thank you, DAD!" Sora laughed but then turned back to Matt.
"You look amazing," Matt said.
"Thank you," Sora replied with a blush.
"Shall we?" Matt said holding out his hand for her.
Sora gladly placed her hand in his and he led her to the door.
"Behave you two!" Tai shouted just before they shut the door to begin a night to remember for the rest of their lives.
