hot summer day, just like the shade of the trees, in which a few people often made themselves comfortable and read a book or just relaxed. Some also used the park for a walk or to meet friends.For Matt, however, it was just a shortcut at the moment and used the path through the green area to reflect on times gone by. After all, today was July 15th and it would soon be the seventh anniversary of the Digiritter. Every time that day came nearer, the blonde became thoughtful. He recalled the adventures he had shared with Gabumon and everyone else. It was a good time and his Digimon partner had slowly but surely become one of his best friends. He missed Gabumon pretty much, as well as the many experiences they had been through together.
'Oh Gabumon. I hope you are doing well. 'he thought and sighed softly. With his eyes closed, he trotted on along the path, enjoying the pleasant sounds of the surroundings and the gentle breeze that played with his blond hair. But suddenly Matt felt like someone ran into him and he was thrown to the ground. The guitar case landed next to him on the path and the bag made a high floor and all the purchases were spread across the grass.Startled, the boy opened his eyes and looked straight into the face of a red-haired girl. She wore short, dark blue sports trousers and a white T-shirt. There were gray-blue inline skates at his feet. At first Matt didn't even recognize it as it stared at the floor, face contorted with pain.
"Tell me, can't you be careful ?!", the redhead snapped at him while she lifted her head and looked straight into his eyes, "Oh! It's you, Matt! I'm sorry." Matt just smirked at the sudden change in mood his best friend, got up slowly and dusted his pants.
"Hi Sora! Sorry, I wasn't paying attention.", Matt apologized and held out his hand to Sora to help her get up. Thankfully, she accepted it, but almost fell over because she was wearing inline skates, but the boy reacted in time and caught her, "Are you all right?"
"Yes, don't worry. My shoe just 'rolled away'.", Sora answered and smiled gratefully," But what are you doing here? I thought you were rehearsing for the band? "
"I should have, too, but again Miro didn't have time. Typical ...", he said and shrugged his shoulders while Sora grinned. She had almost thought so. It was always the same with Miro, "What about you? Shouldn't you be in training?"
"I was already there. Had training right after school and only picked up my sports gear at home for a short time. But I told you that at school. That's why you drove me home because otherwise I would have been late . "A little confused, she frowned and tilted her head slightly to one side.
"Right. Sorry, I'm not quite up to date at the moment. Whenever August 1st comes closer, I think of the past time in the Digiwelt.", Matt explained and scratched the back of his head, embarrassed. He was sorry that he had already forgotten what Sora had told him."It's okay. I can understand. I feel the same way.", Sora agreed and smiled friendly, "And that's exactly why I ride inline skates. I need a little distraction." Matt thought for a moment and looked up at the sky.
'Not a bad idea at all. After all, I have enough time anyway because the band rehearsal has failed and it would certainly not hurt me. Then I might get other thoughts. 'thought the blonde and grinned.
"Tell me, would you mind if I joined you?"
"No, on the contrary. I would even be happy.", Sora said friendly and smiled.
"Fine. Then I just put my stuff back in the bag and bring it and the guitar home. Are you coming or are you waiting?" Matt asked while he was putting his purchases back into the bag.
"I think I'll wait on the bench there. I need a break anyway," said the redhead, but helped her boyfriend with packing his purchases before they said goodbye and made herself comfortable on the bench.She took her red backpack from her shoulders, placed it on the bench next to her and took a bottle of water out of it, which she half emptied with large and greedy gulps.
That something like this always has to happen to me. ', Sora thought and sighed. She actually drove in Matt, her best friend, for sheer thought and of course he took it with composure as always. Typical matt. Not to be disturbed by anything. That was a quality that Sora admired very much in him, but which had often almost pissed her off. But overall, Matt was a nice guy and her best friend at that. As far as the teenager could remember, she had only fought with him once, and that only because of a misunderstanding. The two were really inseparable. However, almost nobody believed them that their relationship to one another was purely friendly. Many girls were jealous of Sora because they would have liked to swap places with her just to be able to spend a day with the crush at school.It was also rumored that Sora had ended her relationship with Tai because of Matt, but that wasn't true.
Completely lost in her thoughts, Sora did not notice that she had been sitting on the bench for half an hour and thinking about Matt and her relationship with him. But suddenly she was torn from her thoughts when someone from behind covered her eyes with his hands. At first she was pretty scared, but she knew exactly who was behind her. She felt the other's hands with her hands, pretending to be thinking hard.
"Hm, Tai?", Sora asked with a grin and could almost feel how indignant the other person was.
"Well, I don't take that as a compliment.", Joked the male voice and in the next instant the figure took his hands away, sat down next to Sora on the bench and put on his inline skates. Like Sora, he stowed his street shoes in a black backpack.
"Oh, it's you, Matt!I wouldn't have expected you at all now. "She grinned mischievously and looked challengingly into his eyes. She loved teasing Matt that way.
"No, I'm Santa Claus. Of course I am. Or maybe you were expecting someone else?" As usual, Matt went into the verbal foolishness and smiled. Another reason the two got along so well. They both had the same kind of humor and everyone also knew when the end was funny.
"Of course. Didn't know that I had a date with Miro today? He should be here any minute.", Sora replied, leaned back and waited eagerly for Matt's reaction.
"Oh, you're his date? How deep has he sunk?" Was his exaggeratedly ironic response and, as a precaution, took cover.
"You are pretty cheeky, do you know that?"
"Sure I know that. But now I'd better stop before you kill me. Shall we?"
Nodding, Sora got up, put on her backpack again and together they drove along the path through the park.Of course, the two of them had nothing better to do on the way than fooling around. Once Sora pushed Matt off the path and he involuntarily made acquaintance with the floor. While the girl could barely stand up from laughing, Matt looked offended and slowly stood up. When Sora had calmed down somewhat and looked into the face of her best friend, she fell silent completely. She knew that would be vengeance. Immediately she took a swing and tried to escape, but the blonde followed her immediately and after a while he finally caught up with her. From behind he wrapped his arms around her waist, dropped into the grass, dragging her to the ground with him. Sora had struggled, but ultimately she had no chance against Matt. Now they lay side by side on the grass and burst out laughing.
"Matt, you really are a complete idiot!" The redhead managed to wipe a tear from her eye."Why? You started.", Matt replied, but because of all the laughter it didn't really sound as serious as he wanted to sound, on the contrary.
When they had calmed down a bit, Matt sat up with a devious grin. Sora wanted to do the same, but the boy got ahead of her and pushed her back to the ground.
"So, now I have you." He grinned triumphantly and looked at the girl below him in the face, who looked to the side with a playful huff. They stayed that way for a long time before they started to blow again.
"Shame on you! Better do it at home!", Suddenly a voice came from behind them and when they looked at the person in shock, they recognized Matt's little brother, who smiled mischievously. Embarrassed, the two looked at the floor and could not suppress a grin.
"Hello little brother! How are you?", He tried to distract from the topic, which did not work particularly well."Thank you, good. But what are you doing there and that in the middle of the park?" Curiously, T.K. to an answer that followed immediately.
"Matt started! He just dragged me into the grass!" Sora lied and Matt looked indignantly into her brown eyes.
"What ?! You were the first to push me into the grass!" The boy complained and got up while he crossed his arms in front of his chest. However, Matt helped his girlfriend when he realized that she wanted to get up too.
"Thanks!", She said, still mock insulted, but both Matt and T.K. knew exactly what she meant.
After the two T.K. had once again explained how this clearly ambiguous position had come about, he was satisfied and said goodbye, since he still had to help his mother clean. Matt and Sora skated a while longer until it was 6:45 p.m. and they both decided to walk home slowly. In the park, they took off their skates and left separately because they had to go in different directions.With her rucksack around her back, Sora strolled through the streets of Odaiba. Although it was now relatively late, the sun was still hot and the girl was completely exhausted. After all, she'd only been exercising since noon. After all, that was over six hours. But at least there was a gentle breeze that promised a bit of cooling. Sora smiled and enjoyed the light wind that played with her hair until she finally got home. She opened the door of her apartment and entered. The girl threw her backpack and her shoes into the corner.
"Hello mom! I'm back home!", Sora shouted and Ms. Takenouchi came around the corner
