Modeling For Sora: A Sora and Tai Love Story

Chapter One: Unexpected Change

~*~

I knew Sora since first grade, we went to the same school, were on the same team, and we went to the Digital World together! On our journey, I couldn't help but develop a slight crush on her, and after the events that happened back then, a small crush had blossomed into love. I tried talking to Izzy about it, but it was a big mistake. You could ask Izzy to help you out with algebra and science sure, but not about love! Certainly he couldn't be in love with anybody. I also tried talking to Mimi about it, but she said way too many things that couldn't fit under the category 'Sora'. Kari was worse. She said that love was nothing but a waste of time and that I should concentrate more on my studies then on love. Joe, T.K., Yolei, Davis, Ken, and Cody were out of the question! There was NO way that I would take advice from Joe, he's too obsessed with Mimi to even notice anyone else. T.K. was having his own problems with trying to ask Kari out on a date. Yolei was with Ken sure, but taking advice from them is like taking advice from his own parents. Davis was way too obsessed with Kari to think of anyone else plus he has problems of his own, I need someone who can give me advice, not someone who NEEDS it, and Cody was just too young to be asked. So that left only one. And that was Yamato Ishida.

Taichi Kamiya, a five feet five male fourteen-year-old athlete had fallen in love with none-other than his childhood friend Sora Takenouchi.

Sure Tai had feelings for her ever since they were kids, but throughout their journey to the Digital World, Tai's crush grew into like and like grew even more until it settled with love.

And at that moment, Tai was waiting for the elevator to reach Matt's floor. It was ridiculous, he kept on thinking, taking advice from your best friend who also happened to be a rock star and who also happened to have problems with fan girls.

After about one minute, the elevator stopped and Tai stepped out. Looking around he found that Matt's door was wide open and so he rushed in.

"Matt!" He said crashing in. Quickly, two heads snapped up. They were familiar faces, too familiar it made Tai's heart break into bits of glass.

There was Matt, his hair messed up and his shirt unbuttoned, and…Sora.

Yes, it was Sora who was with Matt, probably making out. Disgusted by what he saw, Tai quickly turned on his heels and ran away.

"Wait, Tai!" He heard Sora call out for him, but he didn't care. He just wanted to leave, just wanted to leave…

~*~

I really didn't mind Sora and Matt together, I honestly didn't! But them not telling me about it was the thing that bothered me. That, and the scene I walked in on, they were just fourteen and already they're making out! But this Matt we're talking about, if Sora got pregnant I wouldn't be so shocked. I wasn't some kind of angsty boy who would live all his life drowned in his own angsty thoughts. In other words, I moved on.

~*~

"Hey Tai, come and look at this!" Cried Izzy; without hesitation, Tai got up and walked over to his friend. "What is it Izzy?" He asked.

Still typing on his computer, Izzy said, "If my calculations are correct, if I type in the correct password here, we would be able to hack into NASA!"

Tai blinked, "What? NASA? But why would anybody want to hack into NASA?"

Izzy shrugged and continued to tap lightly on the keyboard, "Hmm, I don't know, maybe because it's really cool and-PRODIGIOUS!!!" He quickly interrupted himself as long messages filled the computer screen. "I did it! I hacked into NASA!!!"

The door to Izzy's bedroom opened, and his mother's head popped from behind. "Izzy dear, did you just say that you hacked into the computer data that belonged to NASA?" She asked a confused tone touching her voice.

Without turning around, Izzy shook his head. Taking this as a cue, Mrs. Izumi withdrew her head and shut the door. Tai blinked a few times and then looked strangely at his best friend. "Ok Izzy, now what do we do?"

Izzy shut down his computer and turned around to see a very shocked and confused Tai staring back at him. "Nothing, we live with the pride of finally doing such thing."

Tai, not understanding a thing Izzy says, just hung his head and fell to the floor. Izzy's features softened as he saw his friend fall back like that, it reminded him of that dreadful time four years ago when Tai had finally found out about Sora and Matt. "Tai…" He said softly, "Tai?"

Tai's head slowly rose to show teary eyes, "I miss her Izzy, I really do!"

It didn't take a genius like Izzy to figure out who Tai meant by his 'her' reference, and so Izzy got up and comforted his friend. "I know exactly how to make you feel better!" He said. Blinking a couple of times before his vision became normal; Tai gave a questioning look and was greeted by a very mischievous grin.

'Why do I have the feeling something bad is going to happen?'

~*~

Izzy's 'plan' was simple, but VERY humiliating if done wrong. With the help of Mimi who was in modeling school, she'd give me a new makeover and sign me up for modeling school.

Why might you ask?

Because Mimi is evil and brainwashed my best friend to go against me, humiliate me, and then ditch me to be with her.

Ok, so maybe not, but I at least its close.

~*~

"Nice of you to join me Tai, I was getting bored being the only one who signed out for modeling school that I was this close to drop out and become a chief!" Mimi said giggling along the way.

It was humiliating, maybe this word was said too many times, but it was because Tai was not the type to become a model. Models were good looking, tall, well built, had charming smiles, everything that…he was.

"Tell me why I'm doing this again?" Tai asked his two friends.

Izzy was about to explain when Mimi cut it, "You do know Tai that Sora went to designing school, to be a fashion designer and all. I helped her out with the girl's clothes, but she needs a guy to help her out with the guy's clothes. And you just happen to be the perfect guy for the job! Matt couldn't do it because he's too busy with his studies, which gives you an opportunity to make Sora fall in love with you." She took a deep breathe, "Does that answer your question?"

Tai stared at his two friends with confusion and nodded a couple of times before getting dragged by Mimi and followed by Izzy to the mall. "To become a model, you have to look like a model. So first thing's first, you need a makeover Taichi."

At the mall, Mimi and Izzy dragged Tai to the hair salon, they had told him earlier that he had to get a hair cut or at least COMB his hair.

"LET GO OF ME! YOU WILL NOT TOUCH MY HAIR! YOU HEAR ME? NEVER!"

Those were the cries that came from Tai that made several people turn their heads towards them. After several minutes, and when they reached the hair salon, Mimi kicked Tai to shut him up.

"We're here!" She said excitedly.

Tai got up and brushed his clothes, glaring at her he said, "Don't you let them cut my hair!"

Mimi just giggled, "Don't worry Tai, they'll only wash it."

The brunette turned his head to look at his other friend, Izzy only looked at him with a sympathetic expression that said, 'I know how it feels.' Tai only screamed.

After hair dressing, shopping, and makeup (Mimi did say that girls liked guys who weren't afraid to show their feminine sides.) The three went back to Tai clothes to start with the tutoring.

"First thing's first." Mimi said when they reached Tai's apartment, "Put these on." She threw a green turtleneck shirt and some Khaki pants at him. Grunting and muttering to himself, Tai went to his room and changed.

Moments later, he stood in front of his room leaning on the door.

Mimi and Izzy looked at him in shock. "Whoa! You look like T.K.!" Mimi yelled. Tai rolled his eyes and turned to go back. Quickly, Mimi ran to him. "Don't take it seriously Tai! I was only joking! You look great!"

"What now?" Tai asked.

Mimi smirked and Izzy had a VERY worried look on his face. "Now you learn how to 'flirt' Tai."

The horror…

~*~

"When a pretty girl approaches you Tai, what do you do?" Izzy asked.

Tai shrugged, "Mind my own business?"

Mimi slapped her forehead.

~*~

"When a hooker approaches you Tai, what do you do?" Izzy asked.

Tai shrugged, "Tell her to mind her own business."

Mimi sighed, "At least you improved…"

~*~

"When you want to ask a girl out, let's say Mimi, what do you do?" Izzy asked.

Tai turned to Mimi, took her into his arms and kissed her long and passionately. "Mimi, I love you. Would you go out with me?"

Izzy hit himself with the papers he held.

~*~

"Your childhood crush (Mimi) finally admits that she returns your feelings (Love), what do you do?" Izzy asked again.

Tai looked at Mimi, took her into his arms and kissed her long and passionately.

Izzy threw his arms in the air making the place rain with paper. "I give up!"

~*~

"You're best friend (Izzy) admits that he is…um…what it is this word Izzy?" Mimi asked.

Izzy hung his head in shame.

~*~

"Your best friend (Izzy) admits that he is homosexual and that he wants you BAD! What do you do?" Mimi asked.

Tai looked at Izzy, but Izzy was no where insight. Tai chuckled and Mimi hung her head in shame.

~*~

"Ok, this one is easy. Your childhood crush (Mimi) had just broken up with your best friend (Izzy) and needs to be comforted. Comfort her."

Tai looked sympathetically at Mimi, who was crying fake tears, and took her hand in his. "Don't cry Mimi." He touched her cheek lovingly and wiped some of her tears away with his finger. "Please don't cry. You deserve better than that two timing bastard Koushiro Izumi, come on, let it all out."

Izzy glared at him and stalked away. Mimi giggled. "Good, you're improving."

~*~

It took days, wait, no weeks even to teach me how to become a good model (More like a pop star, but I won't get into that.) After that, I dressed up and applied for modeling school. I was accepted and received the title 'Boyish Charmer'. Lame, but it better than nothing!

Now all I have to do is find Sora…
