My internet REALLY needs help. I finished this about 3 days after my last chapter but NO, some internet connection just decided to fail on me.

Thank you for the positive feedback! Don't think I'll stop after this fanfic. I'll definitely be making more. (By the way, don't ask me to do angst.)

TaioraWarrior- No, this chapter is about Christmas Eve so they have not exchanged gifts yet. TK already has many Nerf guns already. My bad for not adding that in but I'll try to make a scene showing that. I didn't mean to relate to that episode...

Note that all my information I look up. Such as soccer tricks shots, Nerf gun models, and tennis racket models.

Also, in the actual Digimon Adventure 02 series, (I think it was episode 14) where TK says something sweet to Kari and I wanted to use that little scene with Tai and Sora.

Okay here it is. R&R

Christmas Eve

I couldn't believe it. It was already Christmas Eve. Snow flurries were falling from the sky on the soft layer of snow. Tai and Matt are working hard to cut down a tree for the Christmas tree, Mimi, Kari, and I were decorating around the house with our special Digimon ornaments ready, Joe was making sure everything was neat around the house., TK was looking for cool hiding places all around the mansion (which is not hard to do).

"Sora, hand me the mistletoe please," said Mimi. I sighed and knew what she was planning to do with that but I handed it to her anyway. I finished putting up the Christmas lights along the top of the door leading to outside.

BOOM! The door was open and revealed Tai holding the front part of the tree and Matt trying to steady himself on the backside. Matt muttered something about just buying a Christmas tree instead.

"Over here!" Izzy was directing Matt and Tai where to go.

"Watch it Tai. You could really kill someone with that," smiled a relaxing Joe on the leather couch.

"Joe, why don't you actually help us?" replied Tai.

"Nah, I'm allergic to splinters anyway."

"Matt! I found an Xbox360 with Call of Duty. I'm going to beat you this time!"

"Yeah... uh... TK... I'm kind of busy... with a tree." Tai and Matt gently carried the tree over to the pot for the Christmas tree.

"No, more to the right. Just a little to the left. Okay good, now just gently set it down," said Izzy. "Perfect! It doesn't look crooked at all."

"I think I have a cramp. Did we have to do this right after dinner?" complained Matt.

"Stop complaining or else you're going to have to get another tree, by yourself," said Izzy.

I was in my navy blue bikini resting. My face was red and felt warmth flowing through my body. My eyes were closed and I felt free. I was alone.

"Mind if I join you?"

I turned around and looked up at Tai in his orange trunks. "Yeah, no problem." He hopped in next to me. The hot spring was in the shape of a circle. There was a little seat around the outside. It was a little awkward with him around alone because of our little incident. I liked being away from my mom, being away from the family. It makes me a little upset when I'm with Tai alone after the moment, because of the fact he's worried.

"Sora,"

Hiding my emotions was never my best trait, and it still isn't. I tried to fake a smile and said, "Yes, Tai?"

"I care too much for you, for you to give up that easily." Tai slowly put his bushy head on my shoulder and laid on me.

I let the tears flow out of my slowly and tried to let out a soft, "Thanks," but I couldn't let it out. I just wanted to stay in there, in the warm water, that feeling, full of... Friendship? Courage? Nobility? Light? Hope? Sincerity? Knowledge? What's it that I'm feeling?

"Well, well. The two love birds sitting in their natural habitat," said the hot-headed Matt. I slightly moved over to the left, hearing the splash of Tai falling next to me.

"AGH! MY FACE! IT'S BURNING!"

"Hey! It may be hot in the water, but it's kind of freezing out here. You know, it may be the snow and how it's 18 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, CAN WE PLEASE GO IN?" screamed the angry Joe.

"Here, Sora." Biyomon handed me a bathrobe as I sank my flip flops in the snow. It was nice having the warm water, but now it was freezing on the way back to the mansion.

"Thank Bi." I wrapped the robe around me and started walking on the snowy path towards the mansion.

The house was beautiful. The Christmas tree was set up, all the ornaments in the correct place. With Digimon ornaments hanging off the side, such as Agumon, Andromon, Whamon, Biyomon, Tentamon and others. The only light that could be seen was from the fire and the television screen that Tai, TK, and Matt were absorbed into. I was sitting in front of the fire, my orange eyes blending in with the fire.

"Sora, we're gonna go to sleep. Night." Matt and TK disappeared in the dark hallway and Tai went to the kitchen to grab some water.

"Tai," I said.

"Yes?"

"I think this is only proper." I put my hands on his shoulders and pushed up and gave him a little kiss on his cheek. Before he could respond, I scurried up the carpeted stairs, wondering if I made the right decision or not.

"I care about you too much for you, for you to give up that easily." Cute quote from TK to Kari and decided to use it for this Taiora fic. I think it's only proper if I release the next chapter, Christmas, on Christmas. Yes yes, I know this one is a short fic but I have something good for you Taiora fans this next chapter. This chapter was too much of a filler type of thing, but the end of it was necessary. This chapter is a bit disappointing, but I am positive that the next chapter will be out on Christmas, because of the fact that I finally found out what was wrong with my internet!
