review lord Yes they were beaten by a Stingmon but only because it was the first thing that came into my head at the time. OR maybe there's an explanation there...keep reading

Eva-Freak015 It does mean Sora and Yamato are not dating anymore. It was sweet but I never agreed with it (I always felt sorry for Tai, I hate it when you like someone and they go out with your friend)! Sorry for anyone who did!

princessstphanie Info on past, coming up soon! I should have put it in, you're right! Sorry I forgot!

Everyone else who reviewed I thank you and please review this chapter!

Chapter 8: The world's biggest prat

Tai knocked softly on his sister's bedroom door. He heard her music playing softly from inside the room. "Come in" He heard her call gently. Tai opened the door slowly and peered inside. Kari was sitting at her desk, her head in her hands and looking through a photo album. Tai walked quietly up to his sister and stood silently by her side. He saw that she was looking at photos from 4 years ago. There was a large picture of all the digidestined standing together. On the far left hand side stood Mimi, Joe was standing between her and Matt. On the far right stood Sora. Izzy was standing next to her. Tai was beside Izzy. But the part which really caught his eye was the centre. Little T.K and Little Kari were standing together in the centre, a huge smile across both of their faces.

Memories of his sister's and T.K's friendship came into his mind. He felt the pain of guilt once again. He could remember all the times they had fought side by side, all the times they had laughed together and all the trust Kari had in T.K.

Kari turned the page. This didn't make Tai feel any better. There was a large picture of Kari and T.K that had been taken the day T.K had moved away, four years ago. Tai could remember that day well but nearly half as well as Kari could.

Kari had spent the last few years with that afternoon playing over and over again in her dreams. She could remember the last hug she gave him and the last words he had said to her.

Flashback

Kari pulled away from her best friend's embrace with tears in her eyes yet smiling. T.K kissed her on the cheek (AN: as in the way friends do, they're not in love...yet). Matt opened the car door for him and hugged him before going to hug his mother too. T.K wound down the window and stuck his head out to say one last think to Kari.

"I won't forget you I promise. You are my best friend and you always will be. Don't cry Kari. This is not good bye. I will come back one day, you'll see. I won't forget you, don't forget me!" And with a final smile the car began to move away. T.K turned in his seat and waved. Kari ran to keep up with the car, waving her goodbyes. "I'll miss you Kari!" She heard him call as the car turned a corner and out of sight.

End flash back

They had been wise words for someone so young to have said but Kari knew they would remain with her forever as would the memory of that afternoon and the last game they had played together in the park. Kari had spent years dreaming of T.K's return and now that he had, and they had fallen in love, her brother didn't want her to see him. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

Tai placed a hand on his sister's shoulder. He chose the words he was about to say very carefully.

"Kari, I'm sorry. I've been the world's biggest prat" He said finally. She looked at him with surprise, "I've been wrong. There's nothing wrong with you and T.K being together. I see that now" He smiled down at her. "Why don't you give him a call, it's only seven thirty, it's not too late to meet up" Kari leaped to her feet and threw her arms around her brother.

"Oh, Tai thank you." Tai's smile widened. When Kari pulled away he saw the first smile she had given him in the past few days. "Thanks Tai but maybe I'll call him tomorrow especially when he believes me to be ill." The guilt stung Tai again

"Kari I'm so sorry"

"I know" Kari said hugging him again.

Saturday couldn't come quickly enough for Tai. He had arranged to meet Sora in the park at noon for their date. As he was walking to their meeting place he thought of all the things he was going to say. "Just be yourself yet be what Sora wants in a guy" He told himself, "That way she won't go off with Matt again. What did she see in him anyway? Oh yeah, he's in a band, he's blonde, he's good looking and most girls think of him as some kind of god, like that Motomiya girl does"

Tai grabbed the bunch of roses he had bought for Sora and opened the door.

"Wait, Tai" He heard his sister call him. She came running towards him dressed in an enormous t-shirt and some shorts. "Here" She took the roses from him and parted the biggest, most beautiful one from the rest. "Less is more, remember that. Good luck" She hugged him and almost threw him out of the apartment.

He walked briskly to the park, hoping that he would not make a fool of himself like he usually did when he was nervous.

He wandered around the park for a few moments before he found Sora. She was standing quite a way away admiring the tulips which grew in the flower beds. She looked up and caught sight of him. Tai smiled nervously and hid the rose from view behind his back, ready to surprise her. She smiled and walked over to him. Tai fumbled with the rose behind his back. She was drawing closer and in his state of nerves he accidentally snapped the long slender stem of the rose in half. "Dammit" he cursed. Tai's pulse was racing as she stood in front of him, looking as great as ever.

"Hey, you look...err...really...um...nice" He blushed slightly, "Erm...here" He looked at the ground and extended his arm holding out the rose. Sora smiled and thanked Tai but he could see in her eyes that she was not happy with the rose. 'I've only been here half a minute and I've already spoilt things. Idiot' he thought to himself

'Trust Tai to forget I hate roses. It was a sweet thought though and any other girl would have loved it. Never mind. Poor Tai, I know he's trying I'll just forget about it' Sora thought to herself while she smiled at Tai.

"Um...maybe we...um...could walk?" Sora nodded and they walked together through the park.

Meanwhile somewhere in the digiworld...

"No...Please...someone help me...arghh!"

"No one can help you now. No one knows you're here do they? No...Well then, you're in trouble aren't you?" a low hiss replied "I have you now!"

"ARRGHH!"

Back to Tai...

Everything was going ok. Tai had managed not to say or do anything stupid, much to the surprise of Sora. They were sitting on the grass in the shade of large tree, laughing when a familiar beeping sound was heard. A look of fear shot across Sora's face. Tai plunged his hand into his pocket. 'Damn thing, I knew I should have left it at home' Tai thought angrily as he pulled out his beeping digivice.

"We'd better get to Izzy's! Something's wrong" Sora leaped up and began to run in the direction of their friend's home, Tai right behind her.

Ok I can't think of anymore right now! Sorry it's short, I'm gonna put the next chapter up soon coz this has a bad end. Thanks!
