Jingle…

Jingle…

Jingle...

It's that time of year…

Everyone slowly started waking up…

To the sounds of children's laughter outside, while playing in the early snow. Each individual awakening from a very fun filled family get togethers just the night before. There tummy's filled with endless platters of food and drinks, storing enough to last them until next Christmas Eve. The jolly feeling spread throughout the perimeter of every; house, building and soul, the morning carollers were sure to acquire your festive spirit as citizens joined in the cliché folk singing to firm door-steps.

This first light of day couldn't be more positive then it was, but for some it was rather strung out.

The brunette haired boy tossed over onto his left side, due to the numbness his right felt from laying on it almost all night. He placed his right hand over his ear at an attempt to block out the singing that came prematurely for his taste. He let out a small groan as he tossed to his right side, eager to feel anything better than the discomfort he had just felt a minute ago. The back and forth attempts at trying to feel at ease soon came to an end as he slowly lifted himself up into a seated position.

The teen squinted as he slowly cracked open his eyes, desperately trying to adjust to the reflecting light that poured into his room at every perspective by the unfastened window.

With a quick rub to each eye Tai lifted his feet off the bed and onto the hard wood floor; he jolted a little due to the arctic feeling of the floorboards.

He let his eyes slowly adjust to the daylight before he glanced at the clock that lay sideways because of him tipping it over months ago and substituting laziness as the key to not want to push it back the way it originally stood on his desk.

10:43…10:44.

Tai let out a very long moan as he realised he had slept in, yet again.

Standing up straight and tall now; he slowly wobbled to his bedroom door, stumbling over a piece of soccer attire he wore some time in the past week.

Making his way to the bedroom door he placed a hand on the knob and turned it enough to hear that small click and pulled it open.

He was greeted by his mother and father who sat at their kitchen table, eating a hardy breakfast.

"Glad you decided to wake up" Mr, Kamiya announced as he looked over his newspaper giving his son more than a warming smile upon his face. Tai let a partial smirk seep through his expression as he walked over to the table and sat down with his parents.

His mother looked at him with an expression he couldn't really read, but they continued to play face games without saying a word.

Tai broke the expression match as he scanned the room "Where's Kari?" Tai asked his parents concerned.

His mother smiled at the worry in his face and answered "She's in her room."

Tai nodded as he pushed his chair from out from under the table and stood up to proceed to Kari's room "I wouldn't go in there if I were you; she said she's wrapping some last minute Christmas gifts"

Tai nodded politely as he walked back into his room to get dressed.

Shutting the door behind him he slowly walked over to his closet and whipped it open carelessly. Staring at the tousled kayos he once called his closet, he picked up a balled up red shirt that possessed gold trimming around the collar that lay on the floor of the cupboard in the wall.

He placed the cotton shirt up-toward his nose and proceeded to take the inhaling test as he sniffed the clothing pressed against his face.

Tai was never sure what was clean in his closet or if he had just worn it the other day, even after the sniff test he would still put it on.

He then lazily lifted his shirt over his head and threw it onto the ground, were it seemed everything else was consistently placed.

He slipped his arms within the red sweater he picked up from the ground early; he popped his head through the shirt as he then continually rummaged through his closet for a pair of pants that caught his attention.

BZZT

The sound of his cell phone could be heard from somewhere around his bed. Tai flung his head around as he listened once more for the buzz, just to insure it was what he heard.

BZZT

He walked over toward his bed, from where he thought the sounds was coming from and started shuffling his hands through the comforters and pillows that lay scattered around his twin sized bed. Hoping his phone would fall out of the wrapped up sheets.

BZZT

"Where the hell is it" Tai spoke to himself as-if his receiver would reply to him with were its destination is, making it easier for them to interact. Tai continually raided his bed determined to find his cell before it hit its final buzz.

BZZT

"ARGH!" Tai furiously shouted while pitching a pillow behind him with the aggravation of not being able to find his communication device. Tai being his stubborn self, continued to look on his bed, throwing everything off of it. Leaving the mattress exposed to his eyes.

He angrily walked over to his desk trying to find something that would distract himself or help him calm down over a stupid phone. Tai stood over his desk, blankly staring at it…

He then slowly turned around to examine the childish mess he had made over his phone, he felt overly ridiculous about the situation even though right now he was the only one to know about it he still somehow felt embarrassed regarding his actions.

Tai leaned on the desk that stood behind him, placing his hands on the top of it. He leaned further back before knocking over something. He calmly looked over his shoulder to see what he had toppled over, it was a picture frame. Tai turned back around to face the desk once again. He then picked up the picture, grasping it in both hands. It was a picture of them, all of his closest friends.

It looked as if it was an attempted to take a picture to include everyone, but of course didn't do so well. The identity of Mimi could be seen in the back of the photo linking arms with Izzy and Joe whose face seemed to be cut off due to the lack of space the camera provided them. Mimi's hair was brown, like how it used to be. Tai never understood why she insisted on dying it pink. Scanning the picture more you could see next to Izzy you could distinguish T.K with his usually ear to ear smile he always seemed to have on his face as he hugged onto his brother's waist. Matt didn't smile all that much, but this was one of those rare cases where he was caught doing so. Next to Matt was Sora, who held onto Kari very motherly, smiling with her eyes more than her mouth. Kari seemed to be enjoying herself; she always seemed to have a glow about her in every picture taken. Then there was Tai, upfront as always. Wanting to take the picture because he thought he was always so good at it.

Tai chuckled as he scanned the picture of them once more; smiling as his eyes brushed passed Sora's face again. Tai then placed the picture back where it originally sat.

"Where did time go?" Tai spoke aloud, again expecting something to talk back to him.

BZZT

There it was again.

Although the first four times his phone vibrated infuriated him, this time was the last straw. Tai glared around his room desperately trying to remember the last place he had put that dam thing. He ran his eyes across his open untidy closet, then down to his cluttered bedroom floor.

BZZT

That was it; the light of his cell-phone shunned a very blurred light from underneath the bed. Tai rapidly jumped to his knees to investigate if the light he saw was in fact his phone.

Indeed it was, Tai reached under his bed and picked it up from the floor. He completely discarded the fact that it was under the bed and turned it around to confirm why it was vibrating so much. Tai clicked the little red cell-phone on the right side of the phone to shut the annoying buzzing off; he then confirmed that it was a text message.

Tai opened his message inbox in his phone and saw the unopened letter from Mimi; he opened it up to read what was so important.

Are you coming with us?

Tai was confused at this message she had sent, so he decided to read back on there past text messages to try and understand what he had agreed to prior to this message.

Everyone is going to join me ;3

Yet again, Tai was feeling just as confused as he did the last message he had read. So he decided to continue to the next. Praying the next one would give some sort of knowledge to what this girl was talking about.

Today is a puuuuurrfect day to sk8!11

Want to come ice sk8ing?!

Tai half-heartedly chuckled as he immediately replied to her.

Just give me a time and a place and ill brt : )

Tai stood up from the floor and sat on his naked bed as he waited a reply from the loathsome girl on the other end. While waiting for his reply he thought about that irritable encounter he had with Matt and Sora at the gift shop the other day.

Why am I still thinking about this?

Tai continually replayed those words in his head, so desperately trying to convince himself that it was nothing to worry about.

Why was he so worried about what Matt did anyway, was he threatened by him?

No!

Then why did he get so competitive when Matt did something he couldn't or when Matt understood something he didn't.

BZZT

Finally! The reply he waited for from Mimi to help break these unreasonable thoughts that seemed to creep back continuously into Tai's mind whenever they got the chance.

3:20 at the outdoor ice rink

around where Joe lives! 3

and don't be late Kamiya!

Tai snickered at her ending statement to her text message. He wasn't always late; he had a few detentions in school for bad punctuation but he was rather good at arriving right at the time assigned. He rather shrugged off Mimi's virtual scolding and stood up only to walk back his desk. He placed his phone on the solid wood and examined the counter before noticing the gift he had bought the other day.

Remember to bring that for the concert tonight

Tai made a mantel reminder to himself before turning back around to start cleaning up the atrocious mess he called his room.

It was 3:06 when Tai remembered that he had plans at 3:20, as usually he rushed around the apartment like a chicken with its head cut off, trying to get together his equipment at the last minute. Before walking out the door Kari decided she wanted to tag along with her brother, giving Tai at least one reason he could offer as to why he was late.

They both managed to collect all their gear together, with a goodbye from their parents and an embarrassing kiss on the cheek to both by their mother they were out the door in a heart-beat.

"This is going to be fun!" Kari exclaimed with a hearty smile and a diminutive bounce to her step as she and her brother made there way out of the apartment itself.

Tai nodded with agreement as he flung his pair of skates over his shoulders feeling the sheltered blade bounce off his back as he walked.

The two siblings were very quiet on there way to the ice-rink only making small conversation about how cheerful the area looked and what they so desperately wanted to open under the tree that night.

Within the crisp wind that blew across their faces they were able to distinguish the cluster of acquaintances that awaited there arrival.

Silhouettes stood up from the snow covered bench or waved a tender greeting, Tai knew that was only from a distance before he would get disciplined for being late.

"You're late!" Mimi aggravatingly announced glancing at the others who where clearly aware of what time it was.

"Mimi's right you two, you are 26 minutes late" Joe added while pushing down his coat sleeve to cover a deep navy coloured watch that stood out on his slender wrist.

"Actually you are 26. 33 minutes late or 1593 seconds late" Izzy furthered on the obvious while leaving his index finger up in the air.

Tai glared at the three who rather executed the excitement of joining them on there entertaining evening. Kari stood rather ashamed of herself but giggled as she apologised "I'm sorry, it was my fault"

Sora shook her head at the young girl who always seemed to put the fault on herself, even if she knew her brothers punctuality skills where not even close to being mastered.

"Don't worry about it, were just glad you two could make it" Sora smiled at the Kamiya siblings while placing a hand on Kari's shoulder letting a faint giggle after her statement.

Tai's faced turned a darker coloured pink not just because of the exquisite bitter weather him and his sister had just walked through but because of Sora's gentle smile that caught his eye only causing him to look away while rubbing the side of his neck rather nervously.

"Well, now that we have forgiven them, lets start skating" Mimi demanded while flinging her arms up in the arm.

"There nice and tight" Tai said pulling the strings of the pair of skates that where once his now placed upon Kari completely.

Kari let out a beaming grin as she expressed thanks to her brother for being so kind as to help her with her skates.

"Thanks"

Tai nodded as he stood up placing a hand out to help his little sister up from the bench she sat upon. Grasping his palm and pulling she was on her feet and ready to adventure off on the sheet of ice that lay ahead of her.

Tai watched frantically to make sure she didn't fall on her way to the rink before he sat down to switch his own footwear.

Tai sat sidelines as he tied his skates up, watching all the other skaters move so fluidly as if they have been doing it since birth. He watched Mimi laugh at Joe who stumbled forward and backwards trying to balance is uncoordinated body to move where he wanted it, but unsuccessfully couldn't. He continued to observe Matt whenever he could, to insure that he wasn't making to much contact with the girl he felt something for, he watched as he glided hand in hand with his little brother around in circles about the rink they slithered across.

While tightening his last skate Tai stood up and trudged his way to the slick ice marked with various patterns and scrapes.

He made his first step onto the clear plate now beneath his feet, pushing himself left and right to make a vigorous mould to help him through the first couples of minutes. He couldn't remember the last time he had skated since the snow covered the city like a comforter on a bed.

Tai repeatedly passed the familiar faces around the perimeter of the rink and beamed friendly at each one of them. He slowed his pace down as he drifted side-by-side with Sora.

"Having fun?" Tai questioned her with a lightning gin to his red face. Sora giggled while covering her delicate chilly pink lips with her overly bulky pink scarf.

"Mmhmm, are you?" She answered while following up with a question in return.

Tai snorted as he flung his arms behind his head still keeping his balance "I don't have to be doing anything and I still have fun" He replied with an inhumanly grin.

Sora smiled uncontrollably at his animated response while squeezing her eyes shut.

"Are you exited?" She questioned him as she encouraged him to move a little closer to her, Tai nervously starred at her as he was without a doubt confused.

"About what?"

"Matt's concert!"

Tai let his arms fall back to his sides as he felt his expression completely take a left turn as he went from high spirits to a scowled look upon his face, why did she find the need to want to talk about Matt while they were spending time together. Did she really find there interactions to be that unbearable she had to bring up Matt even if he wasn't around. Tai knew he was overreacting about this, maybe she was just really excited for him and she feels as if she needs to share it with everyone, because if Tai knew Matt as well as he thought he did… Matt wouldn't go flourishing his arms around in the air screaming about how he had got his first gig. Someone had to do it and maybe Sora was the one who took that dare upon herself.

Tai couldn't think of a true response he could give the girl that skated so gracefully beside him, He was exited for Matt but he resented him for all the attention Sora was open-handedly giving him.

"Oh, yeah of course, I'm happy for him" Tai pathetically let the words drip out of his mouth with the most implausible partial smile.

"I know me too, how cool is that to have your first concert on Christmas?" Sora stated with an open hand gesture that bewildered Tai a bit.

"Yeah" Tai unresponsively replied.

"How many people do you think are going to see him and his band?" Sora questioned Tai as if he could give the exact number to her question. Tai thought he saw a sparkle in her eye as if he could see what she was picturing in her mind. A full stadium filled with screaming girls as Matt soaked in all the spot-light, while singing the tunes that anyone could relate to. He immediately shook those thoughts from his head; he knew Sora wasn't like that.

She would tend to throw out questions that didn't really concern her but made her look compassionate about what her friend was going through.

"I'm sure T.K and Kari are going" Tai jokingly replied to her with a very childish chuckle to end his impractical ways. Sora looked rather disappointed at his remark as she decided to improve the air "Well, whatever the number is I'm very happy for him" She said with a irresponsible grin.

The tension started to creep up on him as he continued to let his juvenile reasoning go on yet another heated encounter with this whole situation. The air within them grew very silent as Sora tried to think of something she could say, as if she knew that all this talk about Matt was putting Tai on edge.

"So?" Sora questioned Tai with a small shake to her voice.

"So?" Tai questioned back.

"Do you think you're going to get what you want for Christmas this year? I know you always seem to say you never do" Sora cleared the air with her warming question to him, Tai could feel his body tingle when he had realised what he now wanted this year.

"I'm sure of it!" Tai replied very apprehensively to the auburn haired girl that constantly skated next to him, as they conversed for a long period of time.

"And was it that?" She asked him with a playful push to his arm, throwing him off his stability and caused him to fall forward right on his face.

"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" Sora said coming to a halt as she tried to comfort her friend face down on the ice. Tai could hear a few recognisable chuckled as he proceeded to get up from the frozen water and reassure Sora that everything was okay "Yeah, I'm fine" He said with a sheepish smile. "Are you hurting anywhere?" Sora continually showed worry over him as she helped him back on his feet. "Yea, I just lost my balance that's all" Tai unwillingly put the blame on himself so she wouldn't have the slightest bit of guilt weighing her down.

"Are you alright?" Kari questioned as she came gliding into Tai's side hugging onto his waist. Tai threw his arm around his little sister and smiled "I'm fine, don't worry."

"But you look like you fell pretty hard" Kari frantically stated to him.

Tai shook his and let out a small chuckled as he continually reassured his baby sister that he was okay and there was nothing to worry about.

"Do you ever notice that Tai has been getting flustered allot lately?" Joe questioned his short friend who kept him company on the side-lines for what seemed to be the longest break he had ever taken. Izzy looked up at Joe and nodded in agreement to his statement "Why do you think that it?" Izzy questioned Joe challenging his theoretically skills. Joe peaked at Izzy through the corner of his as he adjusted his glassed to fall back in there resting position "I would think its because of all the cramming for school he has to do, before school starts"

Izzy thought about Joe's idea to the reasons why Tai has been flustered these past weeks and replied "An excellent hypothesis, but I think there something more to it."

Joe turned and looked Izzy in slight confusion as he shrugged off what they were talking about, losing interest at that point in time.

"Hey guys, I'm going to be leaving I'll see you all at around six?" Matt randomly approached them with this out of the subject question. Izzy let out a questionable huff "Where are you going?" Joe asked the tall blonde that stood in front of him.

"I've got to go home and get my things for the concert at six thirty tonight" Matt stated with full contemptuous feelings towards the confusion to his last declaration. Izzy and Joe both awed at the light that clicked on in both there heads.

"I almost forgot" Joe said very franticly as he placed his hands in his coat pockets, trying to keep them warm as the wind started to pick up. "Can you let T.K know, just in case he forgets as well?" Matt ended the conversation as he started walking over to the bench that lay snow covered and empty. Izzy looked at Joe with slight irritability, feeling rather ashamed that he had forgotten about something that was so important to one of his friends. Izzy knew it was in Joe's nature to forget a thing beside homework and education, but for him to forget, was not really like himself. Izzy starred off at the rink as the stillness flew around the individuals who stay casually away from any social interactions.

Although there was always someone who was able to break the silence with just their personality. "HEY" Mimi's voice could be heard echoing through-out the rink as she glided towards the scarlet and cobalt haired boys.

"What are you two doing hanging out over here?" Mimi yelped with a very friendly smile. Joes closed his eyes as he adjusted his glasses once more, Izzy looked up at the pink-haired girl who stood in front of him and answered "Well, Joe and I were just hypothesizing reasoning's to a circumstance."

Mimi blinked blankly at what just fell out of Izzy's mouth, not just confused but oblivious to what he just said.

"Well, all that hibernating sounds fun, you two should be skating!" Mimi stated as she grabbed Joe's left arm and Izzy's right.

"Hypotho…." Before Izzy could finish, he and Joe were dragged back onto the rink hand in hand with Mimi. Izzy knew he would have had to go back on the ice, but not this soon.

As the skating progressed faster the time fell short.

The occasion sure did fly by as they all were out of there skates and into their warm winter boots, making there way to the stadium that there friend was soon going to be playing his heart out at.

"I don't want to carry these anymore!" Mimi referring to her skates, shrieked with a stomp in her step as the seven individuals walked behind her along the flurry covered side-walks.

"Well, I live close by, you can all just leave your skates at my place" Joe kind-heartedly offered.

"I would like that" T.K replied with a delightful smile upon his face.

"That would be a great" Tai bellowed with a light punch to Joe's back, causing his glasses to jolt forward and fall at the tip of his nose.

Joe straightened his posture as he used his index finger to find the resting points for his glasses "Well, we need to take a detour" Joe stated as he crossed the street, with everyone following along behind him.

It wasn't long before they were at Joe's place, filling his bed with pairs of skates and unwanted equipment they had brought along side with them. With everyone's hands now free they continued on there journey to the stadium Matt was going to be playing at.

"Look at that line" Kari stated as she pointed at the body to body crowd that filled the entry to the stadium. The sounds of screaming girls commenting on the line

"This is going to be the best concert EVER"

"I can't wait to see them play"

"The lead singer is so sexy"

"Have you heard that new song of there's?"

"This is the best Christmas ever"

Along side of the ear-splitting comments were many scoffing males who had to take there girlfriends or daughters to this concert.

Mimi's eyes glittered with recognition as she was more than exited to be seeing her friend perform.

"I wonder if Matt will let us go around back." Izzy questioned as he started walked to the ass end of the large arena. Everyone seemed to follow his lead due to the lack of knowledge on how they were going to get in. They all made there way to the back seeing two doors one saying V.I.P the other with Performer entrance only. The only one that made sense to go through was the first door, Mimi ran up to it and knocked more than what was needed. A tall man, holding a clip-board and wearing this comical looking head-set opened the door "Can I help you?" The man questioned them in a deep vibrating tone of voice.

"We came to see our friend perform!" Mimi stated with little to no important information. Izzy couldn't help but feel rather fearful of this man, so he decided to rationalise with him "What she means is we know Matt, the lead singer and he said he would be able to get us in without having to go through that long line. " Izzy stated with an unnerving chuckle. The man looked rather sceptical about what this young boy had just told him, he looked at his clipboard and said "What are your names?"

"Izzy"

"MIMI"

"Joe"

"Tai"

"Sora"

"T.K"

"Kari"

The man stood in front of them for what felt like an eternity, flipping the papers on his board back and forth, they all watched his eyes intensively as he re-read the list.

"Come on in" He said with a very small cracked small that reached his face as he opened the door wider, allowing them to all enter if they wished.

Mimi was one of the first to run in along side with Joe following behind the pink-haired girl. Izzy proceeded to walk into the building while Kari and T.K trailed behind the short boy. At last Tai finally got to take a look at the stadium from the inside, it wasn't as big as it looked from the outside, but for Matt's first gig he was rather impressed. Tai looked behind him, awaiting the bright face of Sora… Who wasn't there.

He looked ahead to see if she could be spotted, but to his eyes she wasn't.

Tai turned around and walked back to the door they had just come in from, he grasped onto the meddle handle and pulled it open.

The wind from outside sure caught him good as he placed a hand over the side of his face to blackout the dry wind from hitting his eyes.

He shut the door and looked around for the missing girl, there she was about to open the door that had Performers entrance only written on it.

"Hey Sora" Tai issued to her as she looked at him apprehensively. Sora cracked a small smile at the boy that now stood at her side. Tai felt a small glitter of optimism as he felt this would be a perfect time to talk to her about what has been bugging him the past couple of weeks. He had a good feeling about this moment, the are alone together and no one at this time to interrupt. Tai nervously walked over to her, placing his hands in his pockets trying to keep them from going numb because of the cold air.

"What are you doing out here by yourself?" Tai questioned her while his voice insisted on cracking. Sora's eyes widen as she giggles over the sound his larynx has projected out from his mouth. Tai's felt his face begin to grow hotter as he felt his stomach make a massive turn.

"I was just hoping to see Matt before the concert" she stated, the words poured out of her lips as if nothing had happened, she smiled contently as if Tai would be okay. He was less then okay; he felt his heart plummet to the ground as his stomach turned into wild knots. The feeling of every word replayed in his mind. The look on her face as she said it was unbearable to him. Any chance he thought he had to telling this girl how he really felt towards her were shattered within a few seconds. The thought of not being able to inform her that he has had these growing feelings towards her every since they were little.

She would sure laugh at him.

"Matt huh?" Tai replied without realising it, he felt as if he couldn't feel anything anymore. Sora looked rather distressed at the way Tai has responded to her.

"Yeah, are you okay?" Sora questioned the detached boy that stood rather life-less in front of her. Tai starred blanking into the eyes of the girl he felt strong waves towards.

He understood what she wanted and he didn't want to take any of that away from her.

"Of course, now go in there and congratulate him for me" Tai said with a friendly shove towards the door.

Sora looked back frantically at the tall dark skinned brunette that has just pushed her away from him. She wasn't at all confused but gave Tai a rich smile as she nodded "Save a seat for me" Sora stated with a joyful smile upon her face.

"I will" Tai assured her as he watched her open the door and walk in, the slamming of the door felt like a puncture to the chest. Sora was one of Tai's life long friends, he thought friendship could be easily worked into something more. Tai thought that they would have an infinite connection, as cheesy as Tai thought it sounded he wanted her even more then he did before.

But it was clear to him, she wanted someone else.

Tai felt as if he needed reasoning for what he didn't do right, he always tried to make Sora feel cheerful he wanted her to feel nothing less than happy. Maybe it was his childish ways…

She seemed to desire Matt more then she every could Tai. The boy who was always emotionally there for her, the one who had every lass slobbering over his looks. Matt was the one that everyone thought was more stable then Tai could ever be. Matt was a good guy and he had a struggling life to go with it, maybe Sora could relate to Matt better. Maybe that's why she sought after him.

But the boy that was always physically there for her she pressed back into her memories.

Tai didn't think he was always a bad guy, he can admit he's acted like a jerk, but his feelings over grew any Matt has, if any at all.

Tai couldn't feel nothing more then resentment towards one of his best friends.

The only thing he has left is the words she had stated and the memories he only wished could last a life-time. Tai desperately wished he could wake up from this dream, this night mare that seems to be corroding his helpless mind. He needed a way to understand.

Why can't he be happy...?

He was selfishly speaking now.

Tai slowly walked back to the stadium door, he lazily placed his hand on the medal bar.

"Sora deserves better then me" Tai openly spoke to himself.

Tai couldn't believe all the horrible thoughts that ran through his mind, why did he always think about himself and his happiness.

He never thought about what others wanted, this time he needed grow up and let the cards fall where they need to.

Tai proceeded to push the door to the stadium open, only pausing for a second to realise what had just happened. He didn't want to be mad at Sora; he didn't want to feel any anger towards her.

Why should he? She's just doing what she wants, what she knows will make her feel the way she wants to. Tai knew she deserved nothing more than the best.

Tai looked back outside, watched the snow as is started to delicately fall on this ground, watching every snowflake dance within the calling of the breeze.

"I just want her to be happy"

Authors notes: omfg… don't worry this isn't the end of it! :D

I apologise for the random Izzy and Joe moment, I just wanted other character development to be going on throughout this short story. Anyway. I hope I didn't make Tai to dramatic about the whole situation.

Oh, and I apologise for the long beginning filler :P! it wasn't really needed… I just wanted to show Tai to look at that picture and realise that time has gone by and not every one is the seam. Anyway… please review it would be greatly appreciated :D
