There's No Such Thing as a Happy Ending Chapter 9: It's Time to Move On, a digimon fanfic

Now, for the epilogue…

Epilogue

It's been three months since he left me alone in the world. Life has been so hard without him. Everytime I see his picture, I break into tears. But I just can't help looking at photo albums with pictures of him and watch the videos our parents took years ago. I miss him a lot…

Flashback

"Taichi, let's go get some ice cream!" Little Yamato said.

Little Taichi smiled and nodded his head wildly. "Sure!" He said.

They got some ice cream and started eating it. Little Taichi's ice cream fell and he cried.

"Don't worry. I'll get you some more." Little Yamato said and got him another one.

My eyes were filled with tears. Those memories of him… they haunt me everyday.

"I- I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bump on you!"

The messy- haired kid offered his hand. "Hi! My name's Taichi Yagami! What's yours?"

"Y- Yamato…"

"Hi, Yamato! You sure are pretty shy aren't you? Well, I won't let that get in the way of me being friends with you!"

Yamato smiled a little smile.

The old times…

"Thanks for your help, Taichi. If you didn't help me, I would have seriously collapsed in the middle of the road."

"Nah, it's okay. It's not your fault that your father made you buy all those stuff. What will he use them for anyway?"

"I don't know. For his work, I guess."

"Works for me. Well, good- bye now. I need to get home."

"Yeah, sure."

Everything that he helped me with…

"You're too wet. Let's go."

"To where?"

"My house."

"But why yours?"

"Cause you have to get dry first."

"I could dry myself at home."

"I guess that you want your parents to get mad at you for staying out in the rain."

Taichi stood up. "Let's go."

Yamato silently laughed.

The times where he doesn't use his mind much…(:P)

"Why are you here anyway?"

"Nothing in particular. Just bored."

"Well, I've got nothing to do too. Let's go somewhere fun."

The times when we had fun…

"U- Uh… hi. Hehe…"

"Ooookaaayyy…" "Weirdo."

"I hate you."

"Thank you."

"Grrr…"

The times when we joke around.

"Should I?"

"I- I guess."

Our first kiss ever…

"You'll come back, right?"

"Yeah. Don't worry, Yamato. I'll be back in two months."

"Yeah…"

"Come on. Don't be sad."

"Okay!"

"Come on, Taichi. Time to go."

"Sure. Well, bye Yamato."

Taichi climbed into the car and they drove off.

"Bye, Taichi! Come back soon!"

"Yamato- nee chan. Time to go." Takeru said.

"Huh? Oh… yeah."

Takeru and Hikari were now going out. I adopted this kid who looks exactly like Taichi. By the way, I found this note in Taichi's drawer. It said that if he was to go somewhere and never to come back, I'd go out with Setsuna. And I was. I was going out with Setsuna, but I guess she knows that I still love Taichi. Today is his death anniversary. So we were obviously going to visit his grave. There, I started crying gain. I guess it sortta made me look like a sissy. But I didn't care.

"I'm waiting

For the perfect time to call you back
Coz' I remember saying
Don't wanna know the truth
Can't handle that"

I sniffed.

"And I try to
Just forget you
But don' t know how
If only I knew

It's written all over your face
Such a painful thing to waste
Tell me now where do we go?
Now the future's not so clear
I can't believe we've ended here
Where's the world that doesn't care?
Maybe I could meet you there "

I felt some eyes looking at me. I didn't care. This was for my Taichi. For the one that I love.

"Yeah
I'm sorry
If I slagged you down, I meant no harm
When I heard the stories
Said things I didn't mean
Should have stayed calm

Sadly
Got angry
And it breaks my heart
You're so mad at me"

I could hear people whispering to each other, probably talking about me.

"It's written all over your face
Such a painful thing to waste
Tell me now where do we go?
Now the future's not so clear
I can't believe we've ended here
Where's the world that doesn't care?
Maybe I could meet you there

Maybe I could meet you there
Maybe I could meet you there"

I could hear Hikari sobbing herself.

Maybe I could meet you there
Maybe I should meet you there…"

I stood up and started walking away.

"Where are you going, Yamato?" Hikari asked.

"I'm going home." I said.

"But—"

Takeru put a hand on her shoulder and shook his head. She just stared after me.

Some years later…

"Look, you don't have to keep on dating me if you don't even love me. So please stop pretending."

I just stared at Setsuna, surprised that she would suddenly say that after all the years that I've been with her.

"So… I'm breaking up with you." She finished and went out.

I looked at Tailer(pronounced as Tai-ler, not Tail-er), the adopted kid. He seemed a little clueless about everything that was happening. I pity him… I mean, he doesn't have real parents, and now I'm the only one left in his life.

"What's going on, dad?" he asked innocently. I lowered my face next to him. "She's leaving. Your mommy Setsuna is leaving us…" I told him. But I didn't say it in a sorrowful manner. No, I didn't. To be truthful, I have never in my life loved anyone else except Taichi. With the exception of my family and my friends, he's the only person I've ever loved.

My world revolves around him and… he's gone now. Just like that, and he's gone on a trip. A trip in which he'll never come back…

But I must move on.

I looked outside and saw the sun shining brightly. At that moment, I felt like all my sadness and sorrows are washed away. It kind of felt like taking a shower after getting all dirty and sweaty after playing and rolling around in the mud.

I saw Tailer looking hopefully outside the window. I gently smiled at him. "Want to go outside and play?" His face was filled with glee as he nodded his head gently. "Yeah, dad!"

And right at that moment, I've realized that there are more things out there to love than the people you're already committed to. When I was a kid, I've never thought we'd make it, me and my friends. But we did. I've never thought that in my life there would always be a rainbow after the rain... but it always showed up and now, I'm thinking that there are such things as happy endings.

Only, you have to make them…

THE END

Fallin' out, fallin' in
Nothing's sure in this world no, no
Breakin' out, breakin' in
Never knowin' what lies ahead
We can really never tell it all no, no, no
Say goodbye, say hello
To a lover or friend
Sometimes we never could understand
Why some things begin then just end
We can really never tell it all no, no, no

But oh, can't you see
That no matter what happens
Life goes on and on
So baby, just/please smile
Coz I'm always around you
And ill make you see how beautiful
Life is for you and me

Take a little time baby
See the butterflies color's
Listen to the birds that were sent
To sing for me and you
Can you feel me
This is such a wonderful place to be
Even if there is pain now
Everything would be all right
For as long as the world still turns
There will be night and day
Can you hear me
There's a rainbow always after the rain

Ohh, whoa

Hittin' high, hittin' low
Win or lose you should go, yeah, yeah
Getting warm, getting cold
Weather could be so good or bad
But baby this is life now don't get mad no, no, no

Coz oh, cant you see
That no matter what happens
Life goes on and on
So baby, please smile
Coz I'm always around you
And ill make you see how beautiful
Life is for you and me

Take a little time baby
See the butterflies' colors
Listen to the birds that were sent
To sing for me and you
Can you feel me
This is such a wonderful place to be
Even if there is pain now
Everything would be all right
For as long as the world still turns
There will be night and day
Can you hear me
There's a rainbow always after the rain

Life's full of challenges
Not all the time we get what we want
But don't despair my dear coz I know now
You'll take each trial and you'll make it through the storm
Coz you're strong my faith in you is clear
So ill say once again this worlds wonderful and
Let us celebrate life that's so beautiful, so beautiful
Ohhhh

Special thanks to drive shooter for helping me all the way (ew, too dramatic for her. :P) till the end of this fanfic. She helped me finish this chapter and, well, everything else. Also thanks to everyone else who reviewed to this. I'm very happy that it's finally finished, but at the same time very sad. Hehe. Too dramatic, right? Well, thanks for sticking with me anyway. Maybe I could make another story like this… do you want me to???

Thanks again for tuning in my 'TV show'!
