A/NL Hello again fellow Digimon readers and the occasion reader who pops up! Sorry it took SUCH A LONG TIME to update my story. For some reason, there was a time period where I just wasn't able to get the right feel for the story, and so I waited for a bit before I finished the chapter.

Anyways, here it is! Hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own any Digimon whatsoever. If I did, it would have been straight up Taiora.

Sora walked up the long steps towards her apartment floor. She had been glad that Tai had given her such a wonderful present, but she wanted something more from him.

'Maybe he just doesn't like me like I like him.' She thought to herself glumly.

She reached into her bag for her keys and unlocked the door. Heading inside, Sora was too caught up thinking of Tai that she didn't notice how dark her apartment was. Normally, it was very bright and energetic, but something about it gave an eerie feeling. Sora, of course, took notice of the feeling as soon as she wanted to head to her room; and when she looked up, she found that it was too dark to see anything.

"Meems? Is anyone home?" Sora yelled into what she thought to be the living room.

Suddenly, Sora felt a hand grab her arm and drag her into what she thought was the kitchen, which she was firmly placed down on a chair. A lamplight was shone on her face and it made her cringe from the light.

"Mimi? Is that you?" Sora asked again more softly, trying to cover her eyes from the harsh light.

"Okay, tell me what happened?" The voice of her roommate and best friend Mimi came from behind the lamp.

"What happened?" Sora asked confused.

"Yes Sora, what happened today!" Mimi said getting impatient.

"I don't know what you're talking about! Did something happen, Mimi?" She said utterly lost.

There was a frustrated sigh from behind the lamp and a moment's pause. Suddenly, she heard footsteps heading towards the wall, and the lights clicked on. Sora took notice of her surroundings and found that she was in the kitchen, and Mimi's hello kitty bendable desk lamp was on the kitchen table. Mimi was by the light switch folding her arms and frowning.

"What? Did I do something?" Sora asked again.

"Yes, you did Sora. You kind of went to go see Tai earlier today. Do you remember that?" Mimi said sighing again and taking a seat across the table from Sora.

"Yea, I know I did. What about it?"

"Well, what happened?" Mimi asked directly.

Sora's face turned a slight shade of pink that didn't go unnoticed by Mimi. She squealed as she leaned over the table, averting all her attention to her best friend.

"No! It's not what you think! Tai just gave me a really nice present!" Sora said waving her hands.

Again, Mimi squealed and smiled even bigger, if that was still possible.

"I mean he gave me this really pretty necklace." Sora said taking out the velvet box and showed it to Mimi.

Mimi took the box and opened it, having the same reaction as Sora when she saw the pendant and gem inside the box.

"Sora, this is gorgeous beyond anything I've ever seen! And he even got the gem to be cut to the shape of your crest!" Mimi said staring at the gem.

"I know right?" Sora said smiling.

"Do you know how expensive costume cutting sapphire is? As well as getting the metal incasing? It's very expensive." Mimi said putting a strong emphasis on 'very.'

"I know," Sora said smiling, "and to top things off, Tai said there's a part two to my present too. As if the pendant wasn't enough, there's another thing missing."

Mimi looked at Sora wide-eyed and stared down at the pendant, finding the empty spot next to it. She looked up at Sora, "you think it's another necklace? Or maybe matching earrings."

"What else could it be Mimi? I mean, there is a missing space in the case." Sora said pointing at the empty spot.

"You're right, I mean, what else can he give you?" Mimi said handing Sora back the case.

"So what else did you guys do at so early in the morning? Surely it doesn't take an hour to hand over a gift." Mimi asked again.

"Well, we talked a little bit in the coffee shop and then decided to stroll down the sidewalk." Sora said aloud.

"That's it Sora?" Mimi frowned. "How many times have you complained to me that you don't get enough private moments with Tai so you can tell him how you feel, and today being the perfect moment, all you did was just walk down the street?"

Mimi stared down Sora with her intense gaze. "Well, something did kind of almost happen." Sora said fidgeting in her seat.

"So…?" Mimi asked raising her eyebrow.

"Well, over by the stoplight corner before the park, I kind of thought he was going to say that he liked me." Sora said confessing.

Mimi gasped and then smiled before leaning over even more. "You thought he was going to confess to you?"

"Yea, well, it was kind of awkward because we both had something to say, and then I told him to go first. Tai looked a little nervous and that's when I made the assumption that he liked me too, but all he said was that he was glad that I liked his gift." Sora explained.

"Oh what a party pooper! And I thought something good happened!" Mimi sighed and leaned back in her seat.

"Well, maybe he doesn't really like me. Maybe I was just imagining it Mimi." Sora said sighing.

"No way! I mean, was Tai acting all weird after that?"

"Well, kind of, he had to leave to get ready for the show tonight. Speaking of which, he said he would give me the second part of my gift at the show."

"Maybe he'll sing something for you! Confess his feelings for you on stage and you two will live happily ever after!" Mimi said squealing, clasping her hands together.

"Meems! That's so embarrassing! I'm sure he'll just give me the other piece that matches with my pendant!" Sora said covering her face with her hands after picturing what Mimi had said.

"Oh come on Sora! Don't tell me you've always wanted someone to confess to you in a song. And what better person to do it than Tai!"

"Well, I have thought it would be dreamy for something like that to happen to me." Sora said putting her hands down and smiling dreamily.

The two girls began giggling at the thought of that happening, but then again, it was just some fairytale hope. Suddenly Mimi stood up and began walking around the kitchen towards the stove. Sora looked up from her thoughts as Mimi turned around towards her.

"What are you doing Mimi?" Sora said eyeing her best friend.

"It's almost eight and I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Have you eaten already?" Mimi asked Sora.

"Actually no, all I've had was coffee." Sora said turning in her seat to face Mimi.

"Well, let me treat you with my wonderful cooking since it is your birthday today Sora." Mimi said smiling and grabbed the frying pan and set it over the stove with some olive oil.

"Oooh! I'll take you up on that offer, what's for breakfast Meems?" Sora grinned.

"American breakfast!" Mimi said happily and began getting breakfast ready while Sora prepped the table with the plates and utensils.

On the other side of town, Tai had just walked into his apartment. The kitchen light was on and Matt was casually leaning against the kitchen sink drinking a glass of water with a plate of eggs and rice nearly empty.

"Hey dude, where've you been?" Matt asked his best friend and room mate.

"Out." Tai replied, hanging his jacket on the hook behind the door.

"Did you forget to turn in an assignment?" Matt asked.

"…" Tai didn't reply.

"Did you get an early workout at the gym to try and get my body?" Matt said half joking.

"…" Tai didn't reply, but looked at him as if saying 'I'm a freaking soccer player. I'm fit enough.'

"Alright, morning stroll?" Matt asked once again.

Tai didn't reply again and instead grabbed the gallon of milk from the fridge and started pouring himself a glass.

"Bet'cha it was to say happy birthday to Sora huh?" Matt said smirking, using his trump card.

Tai froze for a quick moment before regaining his posture. He glared at his best friend to stop his smirking and put away the gallon of milk. "So what if it was?" He grumbled quietly.

"So I was right! Finally!" Matt said grinning and walking over to Tai and placed an arm on his shoulder. "So, did you finally kiss her?"

Tai who had been drinking the milk choked on Matt's question and ran over to the sink to spit out the contents that were threatening to come out of his nose.

"I'm guessing that's a no." Matt said frowning at his best friend.

"Yes Matt, that's a no. Why would you think that!?" Tai said glaring at Matt while wiping off the milk dripping on his chin.

"How bad was it?" Matt asked suddenly, understanding the hidden meaning behind Tai's sudden glumness.

Tai hesitated by the sink as he debated whether or not to tell his friend what had happened that morning. "It was bad, I nearly told her, but I choked up." He confessed, walking over to their kitchen table and took a seat.

Matt followed his friend and sat down on the table. Tai then proceeded to explain to Matt that happenings of early that morning up until he walked into the apartment. There was a long pause after the recapping had ended. Tai sighed and leaned against the chair looking at Matt, who was in turn looking elsewhere in the room, as if he was in deep thought.

"So you're going ahead with your first plan?" Matt asked after what seemed like minutes of waiting.

"Well, yeah." Tai said to Matt, "What else is there to do?"

"But that plan is so boring!" Matt whined at Tai, who in turn looked at him.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Matt's head and a wide grin formed on his face. Tai, who had been staring at Matt this entire time, raised an eyebrow in amusement at his friend's facial expression. But that amusement turned into a confused expression when Matt suddenly got up and slammed his hand on the table in front of Tai.

"I just thought of something!" He yelled at Tai.

"Is it an epiphany moment?" Tai asked confused.

"Epipha—what? No! It's not that, what the heck!?" Matt's face scrunching up as he discarded the unfamiliar word from his head. "Follow me."

Matt walked around towards the entrance to the kitchen and grabbed Tai's arm before dragging the young brunette towards their living room. Once there, he pushed Tai down on one of the couches and left for his room, leaving Tai as confused as ever. After waiting a couple of minutes, Tai heard Matt come back into the room carrying a box.

"So, what exactly is this plan of yours?" Tai asked, watching the blonde set the box down and opening it.

"Well, I have decided to grace you with my talents Kamiya. I am going to teach you how to impress Sora so that you won't have to do your stupid idea later tonight." Matt said smugly, still rummaging through the box.

"And what talent would that be Ishida?" Tai questioned.

"Sora will be all over you once I am through teaching you my tricks, and that is why we are going to watch this!" Matt exclaimed, pulling out a DVD and showing the cover to Tai.

After just one second, Tai's eyes widened at the small rectangular case that contained every porn addict's dream. "Aw hell no Matt! I don't need to watch freaking porn!"

"Oh hell yes Tai. You are going to get laid by Sora because of my teachings and this is just a little something to pass the time by. You know, learn some techniques." Matt said wiggling his eyebrows at his friend.

"No way Matt! Sora isn't like that! Besides, aren't we going to be late for practice or something? I don't think people watch porn so early in the morning!" Tai yelled grabbing the case and throwing it back in the box.

"Who cares if we're late! The concert isn't until later tonight, we have plenty of time to practice. Trust me Tai, I've dated Sora, I should know what she's into." Matt said pulling the case out again.

"Yea, you dated her, but you were always busy with the band! And plus I've known her since we were like four years old! I know for a fact, she isn't THAT type of girl." Tai said crossing his arms.

The roommates then stood there staring at each other, trying to get one of them to give up so that their side would be victorious. Tai's intense glare wasn't budging, but the same wasn't applying for Matt. Eventually, Matt lifted up his arms and sighed, announcing his forfeit of the match. "Alright man, you got me. Sora's not that type of girl."

"I told you so." Tai said, releasing his gaze on Matt.

"Just trying to be helpful here." Matt said putting away the DVD back in his box.

"It's alright man, thanks, but I think your tactics aren't going to work out for me." Tai said getting up from the couch and headed over to his room to pack his instruments and things.

Matt also did the same and went to grab his base and amp from his room. There was shuffling and rummaging noises coming from both sides of the apartment. Tai came out first holding his guitar case in one hand, and his amp and wire on the other. He also had an acoustic-electric strapped onto his back. Matt followed suit from his room with his bass case and amp. They had both changed into concert decent outfits, Tai sporting some black Evisu Ecru jeans, an orange plaid collared shirt that was buttoned up until the last 2, and a light brown plaid fitted blazer that he rolled up the sleeves up to his elbow as well as the shirt. Matt had on Momotaro jeans, a white long sleeved collar and a black vest unbuttoned on top. He also wore a dark blue tie that had some gold stripes.

The boys put on their jackets and headed outside towards the car garage.

"So, I'm assuming you're just going ahead with your original plan then?" Matt asked Tai after putting away his bass in the trunk.

"Well, yea, I mean, there's no time to do anything else right?" Tai said also placing his belongings in his own car.

"Well, if you had just let me—" Matt started saying but stopped after seeing the don't-even-go-there, look from Tai. "Not that there's anything wrong with your first idea!" He quickly added.

"Right, I just hope she'll like it." Tai said worriedly before getting into the driver's seat of his car.

Matt walked up to his friend's car and leaned on the open door slightly. "She's going to like it, you both deserve each other." Matt said smiling at his best friend.

Tai gave him a cheesy grin and proceeded to close the door as Matt went to get into his car as well. With a nod, both cars exited the apartment garage and headed off towards their destination; the concert hall.
