Hi!

Sorry I didn't update…. Today is the last day before school starts, and I spent the week enjoying…

For answers –

JyouraKoumi - To tell the truth, I love Mimi, but I can't pair her to anyone in particular. She fits with Izzy, Joe and Matt (and don't forget Tai). I could pair her with anyone, and she'll still wouldn't be OC. And in my opinion, all of the couples are cute!  (I wouldn't mind have Izzy for myself Lol)

digimon-Taiora - Heh, that was a killer line! Lol! (I haven't laughed this much ever since I accidentally told someone I wanted a blue movie… plz, don't ask. embarrassing)

I really had no intentions in doing it at start, but after the two times I did I thought it's cute! … And just for the record, I'm not suggesting something by putting them there! God no!

Ch. 4

This was the last day of the vacation, and Tai was practicing soccer with his teammates. All thou he wasn't much focused.

"Tai! The ball!" Someone yelled.

Tai woke up from his day dream and got the ball. It was an easy shot, and all of the players knew that. But Tai missed.

"That's it Tai! Go sit on the bench. You're not with us since this practice begun, and that was two ours ago!" His coach yelled.

Tai slumped himself on the bench.

'What's wrong with me?' he thought. He was sweating like mad, and he thought the reason for it was the practice. But then again, he knew better. He knew a certain red head that had something to it. He knew he liked her. That was it, and he couldn't deny it. But he still had his doubts. 'What will she ever find in me…? I'm just a dumb popular jock, while she's a nice, smart, beautiful, amazing girl…"

His thoughts were interrupted by the coach's harsh voice.

"Kamiya! What's with you today?"

Tai simply sat there, looking at the grass.

"Is something wrong?" his coach asked, this time his tone one of caring.

"No. No really, I'm simply going threw some teenage stuff. No worries" Tai assured.

The coach was still skeptical, but let it go. "Well, just be ready for the game on Saturday ok?"

"Ok".

…………………………

Sora was sitting with her friends at the mall, but she wasn't paying much attention to her friends' chat.

Suddenly she saw a hand waving in front of her.

"Sora? Is anyone in there? Come on, Earth to Sora?"

Sora realized she spaced out and blushed. But she knew she did the unthinkable next to her love sick friends.

"Wow! She blushed! Sora never blushes! Never!" one of her friends yelled

"Sora… a penny for your thoughts" her other friend smiled sweetly. Too sweetly.

"I wouldn't share with any of my secrets, not even for a million dollars!" she answered sarcastically.

"A secret!" her friends shouted.

'Dumb, dumb, why do you have to be so dumb" she smacked herself mentally.

"It was just a way of speaking" she tried.

"Sorry Sora that stuff doesn't work on us" Mindy laughed.

"Oh god" she grumbled.

And after a few minutes of debating within herself about telling them or not…

"Sora?" her friends questioned as just sat there…

And then she was gone.

…………………………….

Tai just got home, when he heard his parents shouting.

"Not again…"

"Tai? Is that you? Where have you been?" his dad said with an angry tone.

"Soccer, dad… remember?" Tai said with a tired voice.

"I knew you were there, but why arriving so late?" his asked.

"Sorry, I kind of wondered around… I had some things to think about"

"Well couldn't you have at least called?" his mom stepped in the conversation.

"I forgot… sorry"

"Well, that's not the reason were angry at you, but remember we will talk about it!" his parents said.

"All talks are ok, well except for that horrible birds and bees talk, but…"

"Tai please don't mention it again" his dad said embarrassedly.

The door opened and Kari came in.

"Hi guys" she then noticed her dad red cheeks "Dad, why are you blushing?"

When her parents were becoming too red to answer, Tai did it for them.

"Just a little memory of one traumatizing talk about a meeting between a bee and a bird" Tai said, remembering.

Suddenly Kari started laughing uncontrollably. "I… Remember!" she managed between her laughing fit.

Tai was shocked. "You saw that!"

"Yes, and it was so funny" she breath, and got back to her laughing.

Tai was speechless, his parents were numb, and Kari kept laughing.

Finally after 10 minutes or so, Kari stopped.

"That was hilarious!"

"Please, we were young parents, we had no experience!" their mom pointed out with a shout.

"Yeah" their dad mumbled an agreement.

"Tai was nine!"

All faces were turned to Tai when a yelp came threw his throat.

"Sorry, I had some flashes from that night" Tai said quietly.

There was an uncomfortable silence they all started to laugh.

It was very funny, they all agreed.

And Tai parents forgot all about their anger towards Tai.

……………………….

The next day went well. School started and the teachers were very calm and happy. Probably from the three days vacation they had from the students.

"Tai, no way! You got an A!" the teacher assistant yelled. When the teacher stared at her, she stopped herself and gave him his test with more formality.

"Tai, how did you get that A!" Matt questioned.

"Hey I'm not dumb! And that stuff is easy".

Matt just looked at Tai with bewilderment. Most of the class got a B.

……………………….

When Tai arrived home, his parents were waiting again in order to talk to Tai, this time, about serious things. Apparently Tai's grades have been dropping lately, and the fall was drastic. They wanted him to quit soccer for a while, and Tai, obviously, refused.

"NO!"

"But Tai… you need to study, it's just for a while…"

"But I am! Look, I got an A today!"

"That's good Tai!" his mom said, surprised.

"So, can I keep playing?

"No!" his parents said together "you still need to study, and an A won't cut it!"

Tai was mad, and felt that if he keeps talking, he would be in much deeper troubles.

And his parents just watched as he slammed his bedroom door.

……………………..

"Hey Sora!"

She was heading to her building when her neighbor stopped her.

"Hi Mrs. Yuzz"

"Your mom told me to tell you that you have to work today, so here is the list of duties, and she also says she'll be here at eight".

That would be something that her mom would do. Throwing a surprise from no where! 'And what if I had some plans" she thought angrily.

………………….

Tai went out for a walk to clear his head, when he found himself walking downtown next to some stores. He looked at the merchandise in each store, and didn't notice some one walking right to him.

…………………

"Finally, it's over!" Sora smiled.

She walked to the direction of her house when she saw two people bumping in each other, one of them falling. When she got closer, she saw the one standing had familiar

bushy hair.

……………………

Tai saw the guy falling and tried to help. In the end he was okay, and they said sorry and walked away.

He decided to walk home, but after a few minutes he was tackled to the ground.

…………….

As Sora watched him go she came up with an idea, and she greened.

……………..

Tai was surprised, but thinking it was a thief, he tried to knock him out, when Sora's voice stopped him.

"Sora?" he questioned, surprised.

And she laughed.

"You think this funny? What is this, a night job?"

"As I said, I have a rep to keep, and with the rate we're bumping each other… it's becoming daily" she greened.

He laughed. "So, would like to go some where with me, without bump each other?"

"Sure. When is a good time?"

"Usually the Lady should decide… I think"

"But I'm no lady, you should know, I just tackled you!"

"Minor details. I'm giving you some pointers, accept them".

"Ok, Ok"

"How about Friday, 3 o'clock, Danny's Ice-Cream?"

"You sure are a spender Tai"

"Why thank you, milady"

And they laughed and each walked to their home to deal with their troubling parents.

A\N – you guys thought it was Sora that bumped into Tai didn't you:) (:
