Chapter 4: "Gatorade and Food Contests"
"What was hell was that for!" Yelled by a completely blue and shocked Tai.
Every body on the team and the DDs laughed there heads off. Apparently Matt dumped the remaining Gatorade from the jug to Tai. Matt was laughing too, he knew that you're not supposed to do that in soccer but he just thought it would be fun to piss Tai off.
(AN: You thought it was something else didn't you, hehehe.)
"Dude, you're not supposed to do that, this is not American Football you know." Tai said wiping the back of his neck which is now sticky.
"Oh come on, you guys won that is just what you call a 'victory bath', besides you really need one." Matt laughed.
"But dude, you drenched my coach shirt!" Tai yelled.
"Hahaha come on coach, just get a new one." Takuya said.
"Yeah Tai, from now on we'll make that a tradition!" Davis added. "Matt that was awesome."
"Thank you, thank you." Matt said while waving his hand above his head.
"Tradition my butt, it is freezing here you know and I'm soaked. You're lucky the soccer season is over or else I'm gonna work your butts off during practice." Said a really pissed off Tai.
The guys were still laughing; they didn't notice a certain tennis instructor fuming behind Tai.
"YAMATO ISHIDA!" Sora screamed.
Everybody turned around and saw a completely blue and pissed off Sora.
"Uh oh, bro I think Phoenixmon got lose again, you better run." Tk laughed.
"What?" Matt didn't know that Sora was with Tai when he dumped the Gatorade.
"YOU RUINED MY TENNIS UNIFORM!" Sora was extremely pissed off.
Tai and Matt winced and then Tai noticed Sora picking up a soccer ball. His eyes went wide then turned to Matt who was still confused on what was going on.
"Dude RUN!" Tai yelled to Matt.
"Huh?"
The next thing Matt knew is that there is a black and white circle coming to him. Everybody cringed when they heard the impact of the ball to Matt's head.
"Matt! You okay bro?" Tk asked his brother who was now lying on the grass.
"Think so, it's just everything is kinda blurry." Matt answered while trying to get his sight focused.
Tai ran to Matt and Tk's side and asked "Dude, you okay? How many times do I have to tell you don't piss Sora off like that, it really hurts in your part."
"Gee, thanks for reminding me. One question though, how did I manage to stay with her for 10 years again?"
"Dude, be quiet if she hears that you'll end up in the hospital."
"YAMATO ISHIDA! You're so screwed now and I think I know how to get even with you, since I don't really want to be angry with somebody right now because Odaiba won. You're going to pay for dinner tonight for the whole team." Sora grinned while Matt groaned.
"Look on the bright side Matt; at least you don't have to do the laundry this time." Tai tried to cheer his best friend up.
Matt cringed at the thought of doing all the laundry by himself. He remembered when that was his punishment, he had to slave the whole day just to get Tai's clothes done.
"Shut up Tai. Ow my head still hurts, I never thought that she could hit that hard." Matt said while nursing his forehead.
Sora walk up next to him and extended her hand "Oh come on I didn't kick it that hard, ask Tai, he knows how it feels being hit by a ball that I kick with my hardest."
Matt took her hand and stood up and then looked at Tai for answers at the whole hit-by-ball pain. Tai ran his finger across his neck as if saying 'You're dead if you get hit'. Matt cringed.
"I need to go home and change, it's freezing and I'm soaked." Sora said. "I'll just catch up with you guys at the buffet. I already reserved the whole restaurant for us in case you guys won and since Matt is the one paying, I want all of you there okay."
Sora kissed Matt on the cheek and turned to make her leave but Tai spoke to her.
"Wait Sor I'll come with you. If you didn't notice I'm wetter than you are and I didn't bring any change of clothes because I didn't know that someone would dump Gatorade on me."
Tai glared at Matt who just grinned sheepishly.
"Okay we'll just meet you guys there and please don't strip the place bare we too want to eat." Sora said then walked to the door of the locker room with Tai in tow.
"Hey Davis don't start without me, I know you want a rematch on the eating contest." Tai yelled.
"Sure Tai! I swear this time I'll beat you." Davis yelled back.
"In your dreams kid!"
As soon as Tai and Sora disappeared the whole team screamed because they are getting free food, in a buffet no less, and that they will be dining with rock stars.
"Hey Davis! Long time no see." Tk yelled at Davis.
"Yeah long time no see T.O." Davis teased.
"Oh please Davis the change-tk's-name IS getting old." Tk laughed.
"Yeah I know but I missed doing that. Besides I won't be the Davis you know if I didn't say that."
"True, so what's up with you now?"
Tk and Kari didn't attend college at Odaiba University because they thought that Shinjuku University provided better things for their courses. Ken, Yolie, Cody and Davis all attended Odaiba University because it's closer to their places. This limits actual contact between the season 2 DDs.
"Not much now I guess, the soccer season is over anyway. I'm graduating next year believe that, me Davis Motomiya graduating college!" Davis laughed.
"Yeah me too and it is kind of hard to believe that we are almost done with school."
"You still play basketball right?"
"Of course I wouldn't miss that for the world and the digiworld."
The two young men are getting reacquainted till they heard a female voice yelling at them.
"Hey you guys, we better get going the whole team is leaving now." Kari bellowed.
"Hey Kari, How you doing?" Davis greeted then hugged Kari.
"Hey T.J. you been keeping an eye on my girl?"
"Yeah, yeah I've keeping an eye on her." Tk shrugged. He smiled because Davis hasn't changed a bit, he was still the possessive dude he knew from the digiworld. He can get annoying sometimes, but he is still dependable.
Davis knew that Kari is with Tk now and he hasn't got a problem with it, actually he himself has a girlfriend now. He just keeps up the 'my girl' thing to piss Tk off. Little did he know that Kari was the one who actually gets annoyed sometimes.
"Come on lets go, I'm hungry." Kari said when she finally escaped Davis' grip.
"Yeah come on!" Davis yelled before he ran to the locker room door.
Tai and Sora finally arrived at their apartment. All three of them, including Matt live in a large apartment. A lot of people could say that the place they're living at is really large to be called an apartment. The building that they are staying at has really big apartment space. Tai, Matt and Sora's apartment consists of six bedrooms that have their own bathrooms; the kitchen is pretty big too. People with a lot of money can do really weird things. Usually only three of them stay there but this year Kari decided to spend her semester break with them, of course she also dragged Tk along.
Tai and Sora's ride home was fairly normal except for the sneezes here and there, they are now catching cold.
"Hey Tai I think I'll get a shower first, that Gatorade was really sticky." Sora said.
"Yeah me too, my hair are all sticking together but make it quick okay, Davis might finish all the food there not to mention Takuya is there too."
"Fine, Tai they can't finish a whole buffet table you know." Sora said as she dropped her duffel bag near the door of her room.
They both took a quick shower in their own bathrooms that were inside their rooms. Tai finished first and is now restless; he is extremely hungry now and wants to go the restaurant already. Finally Sora came out they both hurriedly walked to the car.
"Step on it Tai, I'm so hungry I can eat a Monochromon." Sora said.
"Look who is talking, you are the one who took longer on the shower."
"I am a girl." That was her excuse.
"Really? Since when did you become a girl and since when did you start talking like Mimi?" Tai asked.
Sora punched him playfully in the arm. "That was for the insult and is it wrong for me to copy my best friend's lines once in a while?"
"See what I mean? I thought girls were not supposed to punch guys and if I recall correctly also kick a ball to a guy's face. Besides Mimi's dialogue doesn't really suit you." Tai grinned.
"Shut up Tai, I only did that because he pissed me off, Matt can be a jerk at times."
Tai was about to retort but he just kept quiet. He had always adored seeing Sora being violent like that. He found it so amusing that when they were younger, he would piss Sora off just to get hit by a soccer ball at the head.
"Yeah I guess Matt did deserved that but you didn't have to go easy on him, that ball you kicked at wasn't half as hard as the balls you used to kicked on me, it's not fair you know."
"Don't worry I won't go easy on him next time. I only did that because, first, he is still my boyfriend and second I didn't think that he can take a full blown shot on the head."
"And I can?"
"Oh just be quiet we're almost there." Sora giggled, Tai had always had this ability to make things sound more comical that they really are. He could always make people laugh and that is what she liked about him.
Tai dropped Sora off at the front of the restaurant then parked his car. They were about to go inside when they heard people shouting and laughing from the building.
"I guess that's them." Sora said while pushing the door open.
"Yeah, time to get some food!" Tai quickly followed.
The restaurant was full of food; the buffet table was full of anything from salad to mashed potatoes to barbequed ribs. Tai drooled while Sora became starry eyed. They are both really hungry. Tai didn't eat anything since breakfast because he spent the whole day with the band then the game. Sora only had a small sandwich for lunch because she had to run around looking for a way to contact Tai so that his team would stop bothering her.
Almost everybody who was in the restaurant turned to see who was in the door. When they realized that they were Tai and Sora, all of them yelled at them to sit down and eat. Thing is, they didn't really pay attention to them and went straight to the buffet table. Tai was literally stuffing his face while Sora was basically doing the same thing just in a more 'civilized' manner.
"Look at them go." Ken sweat dropped.
"Oh, that is nothing. If we went here with you guys losing, Tai can easily eat twice as much as he does now. I guess that is his way of relieving depression." Matt laughed then drank his soda.
"Wrut wrup!" Tai said his mouth full of mashed potatoes.
"Tai, try swallowing first." Kari suggested.
Tai swallowed the food "Talk for your self Matt. When there are either burgers or pizza at home you practically inhale them."
"I do no such thing." Matt tried to look innocent.
"Yes you do, I witnessed that event just two days ago." Tk pointed out.
"Shut up."
Everyone just laughed at the pouring out of secrets.
"Hey Tai! I want a rematch on who get to be King of the buffet table." Davis challenged.
"You sure about that? If I recall correctly I left you in the dust last time." Tai teased.
"Not this time, I have been training you know." Davis grinned.
"I want in too. Let's see who would win." Takuya announced.
"I don't know, I don't want to humiliate you." Tai laughed.
"Oh you'll be surprised." Takuya retorted.
"I guess I'll be referee." Sora stood up and announced "Ladies and gentlemen I would like you're attention please. Three of my stupid friends decided to go head to head or rather belly to belly in an eating contest. On this corner…"
As Sora was announcing a mock announcement, everybody else especially the DDs are making bets on who will win. Matt, Izzy and Kari betted on Tai; Tk and Yolie on Davis and finally Zoe and Ken on Takuya. The girls now went to the buffet table a got some plates full of food them placed them in front of the contenders. Tai was grinning an evil grin; he knew that he can win this easily. Davis look determined on beating Tai while Takuya was just sitting there thinking 'What have I gotten myself into this time', he looked like he has something up his sleeve though.
With a wave of Sora's hand the contest began. The object of the game was finishing five plates full food the fastest. Tai wolfed the food down in a 'professional' manner. Davis was struggling to swallow the food just few a moments after the contest started. Everybody was either staring at Tai or laughing at Davis so much that they didn't pay attention to Takuya who was practically inhaling the fried rice.
Everybody turned around when they heard Takuya blench. He has cleaned all five plates in less than 7 minutes, everyone's jaw dropped. Even Tai, who was about to start his fifth plate, and Davis were stunned.
"The new King of the buffet table is, Takuya Kanbara." Sora announced.
Okay guys there you have it for now. Sorry not much romance scenes there I guess I just needed some comical relief. Oh and before I forget Mimi is showing up in the next chapter like promised. I think that I will change the genre of this fic to humor after Mimi arrives. Here is a little something in the next chapter.
"OH MY GOD! SHE'S COMING TODAY!"
"Excuse me, have you seen a red haired girl about my age around." A girl with long brown hair wearing a pair of sunglasses asked Matt.
"YOU!"
'Sora how could you do this to me' she thought.
