THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! To all of my awesome reviewers, this chapter would not have been made possible if you hadn't reviewed and told me a chapter was wanted. Yeah I know, it took a while to update, well the truth is, my internet's been down, and this is the 4th rewrite. I'm serious, I just couldn't get this chapter to work. But now I think, it's ok. tell me what sucked (Apart from spelling because I'm bound to have at least one error) and I'll try to make it better in the next chapter. Also, I really don't want to have to many OCs, but I don't want to include characters from other seasons, so if anyone can tell me about little known characters that have almost no part in the show and I can bend them to my will, please do! Once again, thank you, and here goes it!

Sometimes, when I lay in bed at night, I think of all the things I love, and the first one that comes to mind is Taichi. Sure, he's followed by soccer, and Soren, and Yamato, and all of my other friends, but Taichi, is what I think of when I think of love. I don't remember it being other way. even though however many years ago it was. And, writing this down, I can see the Taichi I first met. I wonder if he thought about me as much as I thought about him. And if he did, I wonder if he still does.

- A Thought of Love by Sora Takenouchi

"So, this is the Digi Cyber Cafe?" asked Taichi looking up at the steely gray building. He could see inside, and it looked like any other hang out would. Nice booths, with stainless steel tables. It had the counter, and Taichi could see a few kids sitting at it slurping away at colas or milk or water. There were 2 desks with 6 computers and a pinball game.

"Yup, this is it! All my friends and I spend the weekends here! Maybe they're here now!" Sora pulled Taichi into the cafe and looked around, no one was there.

"Sora!" said a voice from a back. A woman in her mid 50's came out. Her smooth brown hair was done in a bun on the top of her head. She wore a long blue dress and a jacket that said Manager on the back. She had small diamond studs for earrings, and Taichi noticed a charm bracelet on her wrist, with over 100 charms it seemed. "Hello! And who is this with you?" she asked.

"This is Taichi Yagami. He just moved here. He's living with his grandfather, Mr. Jones from the soccer store?" Anna tilted her head back and let out a small laugh.

"Of course! Archie did say something about you! Where will you be sitting? The booth or the counter?"

"I'll take my usual booth thanks Anna."

"Ok! I'll be right there!" Sora took Taichi to a booth near the back.

"This is where Yamato and I usual sit."

"Yamato? Is he your boyfriend or something?" Sora laughed.

"No! Of course not! He's like, my best mate, but no. I know who he likes, and it's not me." Sora giggled and Taichi smiled. Anna came by the table.

"So what can I get for you two?"

"Oh, I'll just have a hamburger and french fries today. Oh, and a coke."

"Yeah ummm... I'll have the same..."

"Ok then!" and Anna walked away.

"Doesn't she have any waiters or waitresses?"

"Of course she does, but you know, it's Sunday. And they get the day off. They get Sundays and Wednesdays." Tai nodded and Anna came back with some food. Taichi picked up the burger and took a bite.

"Wow, this is pretty good."

"I would hope so! I made it myself!" called a voice from the back. A strong looking man in his 30's came out.

"Hpmh. So, Sora, who is this?" Sora giggled.

"He's my new friend Taichi! C'mon Josh! Don't be so protective! I have Soren for that already!" Josh's frown let up into a small smile

"Ahhh your growing up Sora! I've known you since you were about this high, and now your already running around with boys!" Taichi, who had been munching contently on his hamburger, saw the shade of red which Sora turned,

"Really? You've know Sora for that long? I'd love to here what younger Sora was like." Josh let out a small laugh and his shaggy blonde hair shook.

"Well, since you asked, there was this onetime, when Sora was about 4, I had just started working here full time you see, she was such a little girl, so in order to be heard she-"

"He doesn't need to here that Josh!" Sora cried, and hit him in the stomach. Josh laughed,

"Don't worry Sora I wasn't actually going to tell him!" and he walked away chuckling. Sora was glaring at her food and Taichi was laughing. He picked up his burger and bit into, savoring the sweet meat and ketchup and cheese as they melted together.

"Mmmmm..." this was a really, really, really, good burger. Sora looked at her watch.

"Oh shoot, I promised Soren I'd be home 5 minutes ago, I got to rush, do you know how to get back to the store Tai?"

"Yeah, I should be able to find it thanks," and Sora rushed out of the Digi Cyber Cafe. She turned the corner, through the apartment door, up the stairs, oh please don't let Soren be home..." She cautiously turned the key and opened the door.

"Soren..."when she got no answer she plunked down on the sofa. Soren must've gone out to the arena to visit Chad. He'd be back soon. Sora went to her room and logged onto AIM. Ah, Melissa was on. Good, she had a lot to tell her.

Taichi's POV

Ok, so she still doesn't remember. That's ok. The rain has started up again, it did almost as soon as I finished my burger. Anna and Josh are really nice. Hmmm, I wonder what all of those charms on Anna's bracelet were, she had a lot, and I think I saw a bracelet on the other hand, and an anklet . Hmmm... she either loves jewelry or is superstitious about something or another.

"Taichi your home! How was your day around the town?"

"Oh, it was pretty good."

"Good good, Taichi, since your going to be here when school starts, I think I'm going to enroll you at Jenai High. OK?" School? God damn it. I really was hoping I wouldn't have to go. Hmmm... but maybe Sora goes there! That would be good!

"Uh ok grandfather. That sounds fine."

"Sora, Daisuke, and Ken go there. My best costumers, so I just figured it must be a good school." Yes! Sora does go there and... hmmm Daisuke? Like the soccer playing Daisuke I met in the park? I go upstairs, back to my permanent room, and go on the computer. I have...4 emails. Hmmm... I wish I had gotten Sora's email, for some reason, I just can't get her out of my head.

Taichi! I haven't heard much from you but I'm sure you must just be settling in! Yolie is great! They're really nice to me here. How is grandfather? Are you making new friends? Please call me!

Hikari

Hikari, I really do have to call her soon...

Hikari, I'm sorry I haven't called. Yes, I'm making new friends. And I'm glad Yolie is good to you, why shouldn't she be, she's your best friend! Say hello to everyone at home. Grandfather says hi and I miss you. Take care of yourself and don't worry. In a couple months this will all be over and we'll be living with mom again.

I almost put mom and dad again but stopped myself. I really didn't want to live with either of them, but I guess I should say we'll be living with mom I mean, at least that way Hikari won't be so sad.

Taichi, don't worry, Mimi isn't sending earrings! Ummm... that's about all I have to say and what about school? Do you want me to just send you the work your missing?"

Koushiro.

Typical Koushiro, always worried about school.

Don't worry Koushiro, I'm being enrolled into a school here. Jenai High or something. So don't worry I'll be working my ass off on homework assignments too. Just joking, you know I don't work. Anyways make sure you keep an eye on Kari, I don't want anything bad happening to her while I'm not there.

Taichi.

I stopped when I read the address for the next two. One was from my mom and one was from my dad. I didn't want to read them. I couldn't. I highlighted them, and then my finger lingered over the delete button... click. They were gone. It's not fair. They have no write to email me now. I hate them. I got up and looked around my room. The posters of soccer players, bands, and girls I had hung on the wall. The bookshelf filled with my books. A dresser with pictures I took. Yeah, I'm into photography. Suddenly, this room felt more like home than the house I lived in ever did.

Sora's AIM Conersation

SoccerLove98: Mel really! He's great!

EcstaticPanda213: And he's coming to our school?
SoccerLove98: ummmm...

EcstaticPanda213: Thought so.

SoccerLove98: He might be, I mean it is the most popular high school in the city. And all of Mr. Jone's best customers go there, so there is a reason to.

EcstaticPanda213: Fine, bring him we'll all be going to the mall tomorrow anyways. Yamato is trying to advertise his band. Putting up flyers and whatever.

SoccerLove98: Oh yeah, Matt must be mad that I missed his rehersal for the concert today... but hey at least you got some alone time with Yamato! ;)

EcstaticPanda213: :O SORA! Please! Yama says not to miss the concert in a week or he will be really mad at you.

SoccerLove98: So its Yama now huh?

EcstaticPanda213: ...

EcstaticPanda213: Yeah mmm hmmm... listen dearie, thats called obsessiveness...

SoccerLove98: And you would know this from Yamato?

EcstaticPanda213: ... lets stick to the topic shall we? OK, describe him.

SoccerLove98:P Ok, he has the cleanest looking messy chocolate brown hair I have ever seen. Its all springy and soft looking, spilling out everywhere. His eyes are like deep chocolate brown pools, so sincere and honest I could just keep staring into them. He has a perfect smile showing off clean white teeth, and his tanned skin looks healthy and glowing. He is so polite and kind, plus he loves soccer.

EcstaticPanda213: So basically hes a chocolate bar with a nice deameaner?

SoccerLove98: ...

EcstaticPanda213: Geez, jk, he sounds nice. make sure he comes tomorrow, I g2g, dinner and wtva...

SoccerLove98: Yeah same, c ya tomorrow!

EctstaticPand213 has logged off.

Sora's House Normal POV

"Soren we're just so happy your home!" said Sora's mother as she was cooking dinner. Sora was setting the table and Soren was sitting on the couch watching the soccer game.

"Uh huh, happy to be home mom." Sora checked the clock,

"Ooh Soren! Change the channel! Its time for the women's soccer game!" Soren sighed and changed the channel and Sora sat down to watch. "Amazing..."

Sora' mother sighed.

"Whats amazing is that they even let women play soccer, they should be at home holding down a steady job and taking care of their families. C'mon, turn off the TV, its time for dinner," Sora scowled at her mom's comment and turned off the television. Women could play soccer well! She could play soccer well! Not that her or dad evr really came to her games when she was in the AYSO soccer league (A/N:GO AYSO!), but at least she knew Soren encouraged her. She couldn't wait to go to the mall and meet with Taichi and the others. She was anticipating the moment.

Hey! Ok, that's this chapter! Sorry it took me soooooo long to post it, but as you can see its quite long compared to my usual length. So anyways, that was your first look at Sora's family and how they feel towards women's soccer. Ummm Melissa, is a character I made up... because all the other girl digidestine, Mimi, Kari, Miyako, etc, are in Taichi's hometown, so I made up Melissa and another girl you wont meet till the next chapter, Then there is also Catherine (French digidestine) Maria (Mexican digidestine) and etc...maybe...we only need a small group... wtva, forget... agh... that's the chapter, and hopefully I'll write the next one relatively soon!
