Life as We Know it 3

Matt was awoken by the buzzing alarm on his desk.

"What the.." Matt picked his head up off his keyboard, and looked at the computer screen. On it, was a college application form. "Ugh."Matt grunted, still too tired to use real words. He lazily hit the send button, and watched as another screen popped up. 'Thank you for applying. Your letter will be sent in the mail within 3 buisness days.'

The blonde boy yawned and let his head crash back down onto his desk. It was only 7:30. He had eleven more hours until he had to be at Tai's. Eleven more hours of sleep.

However, once Matt had shut his eyes, he was awoken once again, this time, by the annoying ring of his cell phone. Without lifting his head, he moved his arm around on the desk, carelessly knocking things over while he looked for his phone.

"Yaaaawnnnnn-ello?"

"Matt? It's T.K. Is this a bad time bro? You sound tired."

Matt finally lifted his face off the keyboard and slapped his forehead with his free hand. "Well, T.K what do you think. It's 7:30 in the morning."

The boy could hear his little brother laughing at the other end of the line. "Oh don't even tell me you called this early on pur-"

"You going to Tai's?" T.K cut his brother off.

"Yeah, in, like, eleven hours. Eleven hours that I could spend sleeping." Matt retorted.

T.K laughed again. 'I wonder how long I can keep Matt on the phone without him falling asleep on me.' "Is everyone else going?"

"T.K, what do you think? You really had to call me if everyone was going? Everyone always goes." Matt was starting to get annoyed. T.K was making him stay up on purpose, wasn't he? The younger boy could tell his brother was getting increaslingly angrier, so he decided to let him get some peace and quiet. "Well, I guess I'll see you at Tai's then."

Matt sighed with relief. He hung up the phone before T.K could even say 'Bye'.

Well, the older blonde boy wasn't getting back to sleep anytime soon thanks to yaaaaaaawwwnnnnnntk. Matt dropped the phone back onto the desk and stood up. He deffinitly did not get enough sleep. His eyes had humungous bags under them, and when he walked into his bathroom, he hit numerous walls on the way. Matt leaned over on the counter and sleepily glanced into the mirror. His now long blonde hair was knotted & looked like a throw rug. Matt once again closed his eyes and felt his way along the counter for his bottle of hairgel. Once he found it, he put a heaping amount in his hand and with his eyes still closed, slapped it on his head. However, once the cold gel hit his head, Matt's eyes shot open. "Awww maann thats coooold"

Later that day, at Tai's house, everyone was having a great time, laughing and talking and thinking about old times. It seemed to have slipped everybody's mind that some of the kids would be leaving later that night. Everyone was shouting over each other, saying "Remember that time?" and "That was so much fun!"

"What's that horrible smell?" Mimi asked, sticking her nose up in the air.

"What smell, Mimi?" Tai asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It smells like...smells like..fish." The girl scrunched her face up apon her realization.

"Fish...what fi-- AHH! THAT'S DINNER!" Tai jumped up from his spot on the floor and ran into the kitchen, grabbing the wall on his way around the corner. Mimi smiled to herself. 'I'm gonna miss Tai's..erm.. moments.'

Across the room, Joe was thinking the exact same thing. Normally, him being Joe and all, he would have been in their helping Tai extinguish the fire that was probably burning down his kitchen, but instead Joe just kept leaning against the wall and listening to the others talk about the good old days.

Eventually, Tai ran out of the kitchen, holding a blackened... a blackened... no one could tell what it was any more. "Sorry it's late guys, who want's the first piece!"

No one moved. Mimi looked at him, her face turning a little green, Kari was trying not to laugh, and Matt purposly coughed, making Tai glare at him for a second. Sora was the first to speak up. "I'm. I'm sure it's still good.. Tai."

The boy's face lit up! "So you'll try some?"

Sora instantly regretted trying to be nice. "Well, uh, Tai, I don't really have an appetitte, I had a huge erm..breakfast... today."

Matt nudged Sora with his elbow. "Come on Sora, try... that." He crinkled his nose as he pointed to the mystery dish. "You're the one who said it looked good."

"Uh... Well..." The girl couldn't think of any more excuses.

Now Davis spoke up. (Haha finally, one of the 02 DD is talking! ) "Oh come on Sora, It can't actually kill ya."

"I don't know Davis," Matt smirked and passed a piece of it to Sora, "Come on, I dare ya."

"Ergg..." Sora slowly moved the chunk of whatever to her mouth, while the others tried hard not to crack up. The girl ripped the tiniest piece off with her teeth, and slowly chewed. For the first couple seconds, Tai seemed relieved at Sora's face. It didn't seem like it was killing her.. yet. But then came the worst part of a bad meal... the aftertaste. Sora jumped up from her chair, and RAN into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.

"Hahaha" Matt laughed. "Way to go Tai." After saying those few words though, Matt realized how much he was going to miss teasing Tai like this. It would be hard to do over the phone. Hmm.

T.K, realizing that after all this, he probably wasn't going to be eating, looked around at the group once more, he took in everything. He really didn't want to leave, but he had to. "Guys, I'm gonna go, I have a huge test tomorrow I gotta be ready for."

"Awww, really T.K?" Mimi replied and pouted, puffing out her lower lip & makeing her eyes look round and watery.

"Yeah, I'm sorry everyone."

"Alright, Bye T.K!" The group shouted out. And with that, the blonde boy walked out of the room, and outside.

The sky that had been bright blue this afternoon had turned to an orangey-pink as the sun began to set. However, once T.K got all the way down the stairs and inside his car, the sky had turned black. He turned his keys, put his foot on the gas, and drove out of the parking lot. As he drove along, he passed many of the buildings where the digidestined had done "historical" things. He passed the radio tower, which was still being rebuilt from the battle with myotismon. He passed the restaurant where Tai had tried despretly to get a cab. T.K chuckled to himself and continued to remember the past. However, the city streets which T.K was driving on turned to a suburban road, which turned to a deserted trail. T.K slowed down the car and looked around. Perhaps he had taken a wrong turn somewhere? That had to be it, he didn't remember any forests in the city. T.K spun the car around, being the only car on the road, and began back down the path.

This trail was starting to freak the boy out. It seemed to go on and on, longer than when he came down it before. Had he made yet another wrong turn? He couldn't have, it was a trail, no intersections or things like that. Lots of trees though, trees & bushes, however most of them looked brown and dead. While T.K was looking around at his surroundings, a deer dashed out into the middle of the path! T.K turned just in time, speeding faster than he should have been.

'Oh thank goodness.' T.K thought as he reached for the break. But wait... he couldn't reach it anymore! 'What... what happened?' T.K looked at his 12 yeard old self in the rearview mirror, but that was the last thing he could see before crashing... head on... into a tree.
