Chapter Four: "Kiss the Girl"
Tai woke the next day, and he felt great. After the battle in the concert tent, he and Sora had gone to help everyone else only to find that they had already broken out and taken care of Datamon, making sure he couldn't rebuild himself again. It was really clever, they had incapacitated him with a sound beating and then downloaded his AI into one of Izzy's computers that he kept off the net. They then destroyed his body and took out the hard drive making sure no one could ever connect to it again. Datamon was alive, in a sense, but unable to hurt anyone ever again.
Tai got out of bed and walked into the living room with a huge grin on his face. Everything just seemed right with the world.
----------
Sora walked to the park, having just received a message from Matt insisting that he see her to talk about "important stuff". In a short time she arrived there and saw Matt a few yards away. She ran up to him and said "How's your face? Did the swelling go down?"
"A bit" Matt said, however this was an understatement. He still had a slightly swollen lip, nasty cuts on his cheek and chin, and a black eye, but his face no longer looked like it had just seen the inside of a meat grinder.
"That's good." Sora said smiling "I don't think any of your fan girls would go anywhere near you if it hadn't" she joked
"Maybe I should have Tai beat me up again then." Matt joked back
"So you had something important you wanted to talk to me about." Sora said
"Yeah." Matt said his smile fading quickly "Sit down" he said as he sat as well.
Sora complied and looked at him as he said "Sora these past weeks have been great, but I don't think we're being fair, to our friends, or ourselves. That Tai that attacked us may have been a copy, but it was still Tai, it had his feelings and memories, they were warped and distorted to make him evil, I'll give you that, but they were still his. When he attacked me he was talking about me stealing you from him, and I know that on some degree the real Tai thinks that too."
"When I found him in the concert tent he was talking about how I broke his heart, are you saying that I really did that to Tai?" Sora said
"On some level, yeah." Matt said
"Christmas eve…" Sora mumbled
"What?" Matt said
"On Christmas eve, he asked me to your concert, but I said no, because I wanted to go somewhere with you afterwards." Sora said
"That's probably it then. You did hurt Tai; Datamon's double was just made to see that much heavier than it actually was." Matt said
"How could I do that to Tai? I mean, he's my best friend, how could I turn him down without even giving him a chance?" Sora said
"I'm just as much at fault, I shouldn't have gone after you in the first place, I knew Tai liked you, years longer than I did. Heck he might have even loved you." Matt said
"You're not making me feel any better." Sora said
"Oh, sorry. I messed up, I didn't mean to use the past tense. In fact I'm sure of it, he loves you Sora." Matt said
--Flashback—
Sora stood in awe of VictoryGreymon's power. He had just destroyed a group just as powerful as theirs with one attack.
"How! We had all your powers, Courage, Friendship, Reliability, all of them! Where did you find this power?"
Sora saw VictoryGreymon grab his sword and get into a ready stance then shout "Love!"
"He really does." Sora said tears beginning to show
"I think we should stop seeing each other." Matt said "I really do like you, but Tai loves you, he needs you and I think you need him too."
"But what about you?" Sora said
"I'll be fine, besides we'll always be friends." Matt said
"And there's always Mimi." Sora said
Matt blushed, but otherwise pretended to not hear her and said "We should tell Tai the good news."
"Wait, I've got a plan."Sora said
She leaned over and whispered it in his ear then said "But I'll need you to pretend to be my boyfriend for a little while longer while we set this up."
Matt grinned and said "It's the least I can do to make it up to Tai."
----------
Tai was laying on a hill in the park watching the clouds and enjoying the mid day sun, it was a warm January day, and it's rarity only made Tai cherish it more. When he heard footsteps approaching him he looked towards them and saw Sora walking up to him.
"Hey, Sora. What's up?" Tai said
"Nothing much. Matt's having a concert in a few days to replace the one your clone broke up. I've got an extra ticket and wanted to see if you were free." Sora said
"I'll be there." Tai said
"Great!" Sora said
Tai laid back down and started cloud watching again, Sora joined him and the day just seemed to get better and better for Tai.
----------
Tai walked into his families' apartment and heard Kari say "Ok, I'll help, and count on TK too."
Tai shut the door behind him as Kari hung up the phone "Who was that?" Tai asked
"A … uh… classmate" Kari said "TK and I are going to help her with a school project."
"When?" Tai asked
"Tomorrow." Kari said
"I've got nothing going on, I could come and help to." Tai said
"Thanks Tai, but it's… a video, so there won't be much for you to do, she's already got everyone cast and has a camera man," Kari said
Tai shrugged "Ok"
----------
"So we've got the makeup concert in a few days" Matt told his band
"But what about the tent?" The drummer asked
"I've got some people working on it, don't worry it'll be done tomorrow." Matt said
"OK, so did you just call us here to tell us that?" the backup guitarist asked
"Well, no. There is one other thing, it's a favor for two of my friends." Matt said
The bass player groaned "What did you promise Matt?"
"Nothing big, just we'll have one extra song at the end, I've already talked to the light and sound guys so they won't be caught off guard, I just need you guys to play this." Matt said handing everyone a music book
The backup Guitar player laughed "I'll play this just to see you sing it, this is for a woman singer."
"That's another thing, I won't be singing, I've got someone much better in mind." Matt said
"Who?" the Bass player asked
"Me." said a girl walking in.
"Matt." The keyboard player said "I love your friends."
----------
The next day passed uneventfully for Tai, but was a whirlwind of activity and nerves among the rest of the team. Matt was rehearsing with his band specifically with the new member, the younger Digidestined were helping to rebuild the tent with their Digimon except for Ken who was with Izzy working on the lighting system. Sora was a ball of nerves in anticipation of the next day's events, and Joe was a tighter woven ball of nerves because he had a test in one of his college classes.
The day of the concert had arrived and Sora had calmed down and was ready. The tent was good as new, the lights had all the tricks they'd need, and Joe passed his test with a 92%. Word had gotten to all of the people who had bought tickets to the previous concert and when Tai got there, a huge line had already gathered. He was about to get in the back and wait for them to start letting people in when he heard Matt yell his name.
"Hey! Tai!"
"Hey Matt." Tai said walking up to the back entrance.
"Friend perk; I can get you in now." Matt said
"Sweet, thanks Matt." Tai said
"Sora and a few of the others are already in there, hurry up we're about to let the rest of the people in." Matt said
"Cool, thanks again." Tai said as he walked into the main part of the tent. He looked and saw Sora in the dead center of the seats waving to him. Tai walked over to her and took the seat next to her.
"Glad you could make it" Sora said
"Me too." Tai said
A few seconds after Tai sat down people began to filter into the tent and a few minutes after that the concert began.
The band was in prime form. They preformed all their greatest hits, but seemed oddly on edge when they played the song "I turn around". When it seemed the concert was about to end Matt came on the microphone and said "We've got one last song for you, with a special guest here to sing it, please welcome; Mimi Tachikawa!" Matt said stepping back from the microphone clapping.
"Mimi?" Tai shouted when everyone was cheering
"You said she was a great singer in Gekomon's castle yourself" Sora reminded him
The applause died down and Mimi took the microphone and said "Thank you, it's a pleasure to be here. This song is for two of my best friends; maybe it will help them see how much they mean to each other."
"There
you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to
say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But
you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl
Yes,
you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she
wants you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word,
not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl"
Tai noticed as he watched that Matt and Mimi were looking at him the entire time, or at least someone close to him.
"Shalalalala
My
oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the
girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
It's such a shame, too
bad
You're gonna miss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
Now's
your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it
soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she
won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl"
As Tai sat there wondering who Mimi was singing about he felt Sora grab his hand. He looked over at her and she kept watching Mimi but leaned her head towards Tai and said "Matt and I broke up a few days ago"
"What?" Tai said he looked back down at Matt who nodded at him.
"Shalalalala
My
oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the
girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
It's
such a shame
Too bad, you're gonna miss the
girl
Shalalalala
Don't be scared
You better be
prepared
Go on and kiss the girl "
Just then a spotlight went on, it was red in the shape of a heart, and it was focused right on Tai and Sora. Tai blushed and looked at Mimi who winked at him.
"Shalalalala
Don't
stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl
Go
on and kiss the girl
Lalalala, lalalala
Go on and kiss the
girl
Lalalala, lalalala
Go on and kiss the girl
Shalalalala
My
oh my
Looks like the boy's too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the
girl
Shalalalala
Ain't that sad
It's such a shame, too
bad
Tai, you've gotta kiss the girl"
At this point Sora was looking at him, as was everyone else in the tent, totally silent except the music. Believe that was his cue Tai placed his hand on Sora's cheek and smiled at her.
"Lalalala,
lalalala
Go on and kiss the girl
Go on and kiss that
girl
Lalalala, lalalala
Go on and kiss the girl
Go on and
kiss the girl
Tai will you please kiss the girl"
"Sound like good advice." Tai said
"Are you going to take it?" Sora asked
Tai just grinned and pulled Sora into her first kiss as the crowd cheered.
"Go
on and... kiss the girl"
The crowd kept cheering, now for the band and for Tai and Sora who still had their lips against each other
"Thank you and drive safe!" Mimi cheered
People began to get out of their seats as the band played them out. Several teenage wolf whistles and congratulations were thrown at Tai and Sora as people walked by. One guy even gave Tai 20 yen. As soon as everyone left, and they finally parted, the rest of the Digidestined walked up to them.
"You guys were all in on this weren't you?" Tai said
"All of us except Davis." Kari said
"I just went where they told me to." Davis said smiling
Tai laughed and said "So who was the mastermind behind this?"
"Who else?" Matt said indicating Sora
"You did all this for me?" Tai said
"I had to make up for the last concert you went to." Sora said cuddling closer to him.
Everyone left them alone to have their moment as they went to work cleaning up and taking the instruments back to the band's van.
"I really love you, you know that?" Tai said
"Yes, I do." Sora said "And I love you too."
Then Tai knew Sora would always hold his heart, and he would always hold hers.
DT: So that's it. I hope you like it, and I hope I didn't leave any loose ends. If I did, interpret them however you like. I'm slightly ashamed in myself for making this last chapter a song fic, but it fit and made sense, so I'll get over it. Love it, hate it, write a review and let me know about it, this is my first attempt at a partial adventure fic, so I'm bound to have done something wrong. Anyway, I don't own the song "Kiss the girl" or Digimon, as we all already know.
Oh, and I hope you all got the "teenage wolf whistles" joke. See, it's a joke because they were at a Teenage Wolves concert and… well it's not a very good joke, sorry.
