| Disclaimer: DO REALLY THINK I OWN THESE CHARACTERS???? Note: Takes place a couple months after they return to the real world. The Real Score Sora-I ran back from the soccer field! I had made it! I couldn`t believe it! The first thing I did was call Taichi. �I made it I really made it!� I told him trying to keep myself from screeching. �Really? That`s great Sora!� Taichi said. � I know, thanks! I have to go to dinner now. But I just wanted to let you know. I`ll see you at practice tomorrow okay?� I said, now calm. �Okay Sora, see ya then.� I hung up the phone. I had made the BOYS soccer team! I would get to finally be on Taichi`s team! This would be great! We had always wanted to be on the same team and now we were! I couldn`t wait till tomorrow. ~ Taichi- �We have a new addition to our team today.� Our coach told us, �Guys, this is Sora.� Mumbles and groans were heard threw out the field, no one else wanted a girl on the team. �Now none of that. Let`s get on with practice!�Coach Lellick said. As soon as the coach finished talking Sora ran over to me. �Well, that was nerve wrecking,� she whispered. I nodded but I wasn`t worried. Once the guys saw how good Sora was they`d be glad to have her on the team. Not to mention how nice she was. And pretty. And smart. I smiled. Soon they`d be jealous she was my best friend. ~ Sora-Practice didn`t go as smoothly as I thought it would. We had been practicing passes when I guy named Gerry nailed me in the head with a ball. �You did that on purpose!� Taichi yelled in outrage. I told him to let it go. There was no point in picking a fight with the team captain. Gerry walked up to me after pratice. �There`s no place for a girl on this team!` He said as he hit his palm with his fist. I couldn`t believe it! He was actually going to fight me! What had I done to him!? �Hey Sora let`s go!� Taichi yelled as he came to the spot where I was standing. Phew! As Taichi walked closer Gerry started to walk away! Right when he passed me I heard him whisper, � Next time you won`t be so lucky. Your nothing without your precious Taichi!� Taichi stared at Gerry as he walked away. �What`s wrong with him?� He asked. �He wanted to apologize..� I lied. I knew if I told Taichi the truth he would get in a fight with him and he didn`t need that. �We then let`s go!� he said. ~ Taichi- For the next few practices Gerry`s little �accidents� continued. I guessed he was just trying to keep up his tough guy routine for his friends. Sora had told me he apologized, so I was sure he apologized. We were having our last soccer practice before our first game. Almost all the guys seemed to have realized Sora was a great player and she would help our team a lot. All except Gerry and his little gang of course. Once Sora showed them how good she was on the field they would totally leave her alone. I looked down at my watch. It was time to go. I went in search of Sora. She wasn`t any where on the field. Well that was reasonable. It was raining. She was probably waiting inside the gym for me. I walked into the gym and slowly opened the door. I heard a soft yelp of pain. I looked slowly threw the window to see Gerry and his gang in a tight circle. �I told you I`d get you. The soccer field is no place for a girl. What are you gonna do now that your precious Taichi isn`t here to save you! Oh? Are you gonna cry?� I looked into the circle to see Sora kneeling on the floor clutching her stomach. :::They had kicked her in the stomach-Author::: Gerry kicked Sora one last time,sending her sliding rcoos the floor, and then left out the back way. I ran up to Sora. �What happened? You told me he apologized! I`ll get him for this!� She looked up at me, still clutching her stomach. �I`m sorry Taichi, I lied. Gerry didn`t apologize, he told me there was no place for me on the team.� Suddenly Sora stopped talking and burst out crying. She threw her arms around me and continued sobbing. �It`ll be okay Sora, I`ll tell the coach right now!� I said softly. She looked up, wiping her eyes. �We can`t Taichi,� she said, �If we do everyone will hate me for getting our best player kicked off. I`m sure he`ll get better.� I nodded, she was right. Okay but if he doesn`t lay off after the game I`m telling the coach, he`s gonna get it!� Sora smiled. Wow, she has a pretty smile� ~ Taichi-�And Takenouchi steals the ball! She`s showing up all the guys today!� and it was true. Sora was doing great! I could here Mimi cheering as Sora ran down the field and shot yet another goal. Gerry was turning a lovely shade of red. At last the spotlight was on Sora, not him. �Gerry sub! Taichi out!� the coach yelled.I sat down on the bench and took a drink of water. I looked out to the field to see Sora running with the ball. Gerry ran beside her, ready for the pass. I smiled. She had been right, as always. Suddenly Gerry made a quick movement. He knocked Sora`s legs from under her and then pushed her sideways. She hit the ground and slid a few inches. I jumped out on to the field and ran up to her., shoving away anyone who tried to stop me. Sora`s leg was bleeding bad. �Sora!� I yelled. She looked dizzily down at her leg. �Wow! I didn`t know it could bend that way!� she said as her eyes slowly closed. I almost screamed in anger.Gerry was going to get it now. Outraged, I ran up to Gerry and showed him exactly how I felt. ~ Sora- I woke up to see a white ceiling above my head.That was odd, what happened to the blue sky? �Mimi..� I said weakly, seeing my friend sitting near by. �It`s about time Sora! I guess you hit your head pretty bad!� I rubbed my head and started to remember what had happened. �Gerry..� I growled.That jerk! He had pushed me! Mimi giggled, � You don`t have to worry about him! Taichi banged him up worse than you! You know he`s a great friend. Your lucky!� �I know,� I replied with a smile. Taichi was a great friend. Cute. Funny. Nice. My anger slipped away as I imagened Taichi beating up Gerry for me.�Well I`m going to go tell everyone your up!� Mimi said before she rushed out the door. Though out the day most my friends came to visit me, all execpt Taichi. I wondered if he would come to see me today. I hoped so�. ~ Taichi-As soon as I heard Sora was awake I ran to the hospital. I needed to talk to her. She had been asleep for two days, having hit her head pretty bad when she fell and I had a lot of time to think. Over those two days I had realized how much Sora meant to me. I guess it true, �You never know what you have until you lose it.� Well I thought I had lost Sora and I was going to make sure that didn't happen again. I hurried up the stairs to Sora`s room. Hoping she was awake. I opened the door slowly incase she was resting. �Mimi?�she asked. �No, it`s Taichi,� I told her. �Taichi, hello!� she said with a smile as I walked up to her. The room was dim and gloomy but her smile brightened up even the darkest room. �I`m glad you came! I heard you got Gerry pretty good!� she laughed. Anything for you I thought. �Of course! That jerk disserved it!� I replied. She looked up at me and began to cry softly and before I knew it I was holding her. �Taichi, thank you, thank you so much, you`ve been such a good friend,� she said as she cried on my shoulder. What happened next was surely fate. �I love you, Sora� I whispered so low I could barley hear myself. I hadn`t meant for her to hear it but by some weird twist of fate she did. She hugged me closer and our lips met. �I love you too Taichi.� She whispered. We sat there for a long time just holding each other in silence. As I sat there wishing that moment would never end I thought one thing, I`m going to have to thank Gerry sometime� ew...that had to be the worst fic i ever wrote..sorry for even posting it |
