Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ It's My Game ❯ Ice Cream ( Chapter 2 )

As they entered the ice cream shop, Tai groaned seeing that the Nishi High School team from the game had chosen the same place for their victory celebration.

Matt punched his shoulder "Don't worry about it, don't even think about them"

The group of them gravitated to the other end of the shop and sat down at a corner booth that was big enough for their group. This was their regular booth and they were happy to see that their regular waitress was going to be serving them.

"Hey guys!" She said as she walked up "Come for some post game pick me up?" she asked.

"How did you know?" Tai asked shaking his head.

"Last time you were here you said you had a game against Nishi. They've been gloating their victory since they stepped in the place." She said to Tai.

"Figures… their captain is a bi…" Tai started but Mimi glared at him so he changed his thought "their captain is a bit cocky too" he said quickly and Mimi smiled and looked down at her menu again.

"Well what are you having?" their waitress asked.

"I'll have a strawberry milkshake," Sora said.

"Me too!" Mimi smiled.

"I want a triple mountain, chocolate fudge Sunday with a coke" Tai said. He was in the mood for food.

"How about I throw in an extra scoop of ice cream on that Sunday? Free of charge" their waitress winked at Tai.

Tai smiled back at her "Great. I could eat probably two extra scoops"

The waitress rolled her eyes "I'll see what I can do about that."

"I'll have the same as him," Daisuke said quickly.

"You're not getting free ice cream" Tai said glaring at Daisuke "This is MY pity party."

"I wasn't expecting it!" Daisuke smiled at Tai.

"What do you want Kari?" T.K. asked, "I'll pay for yours so have anything you want"

Kari blushed "I'll just have a strawberry Sunday and water" she said quietly.

"I'll get a chocolate milkshake," T.K. said putting his arm around Kari.

Tai watched with amusement as Daisuke glared at the two of them.

"I'll just have a sprite," Miyako said.

"Could I have a fudge brownie Sunday?" Iori asked and the waitress nodded.

"I'll just have water" Joe said when it was his turn.

"Rocky Road ice cream and an orange pop" Izzy said.

"I'll have a banana milkshake," Ken said.

"Okay, I'll be back in a few minutes" the waitress smiled and walked off.

"So who's paying for my stuff?" Tai smiled slyly "you're the ones who brought me here to cheer me up!"

Everyone looked at everyone else around the table. No one spoke a word.

"How cheap are all of you?" Tai glared and then laughed.

Tai watched as TK whispered something into Kari's ear. She blushed and giggled, leaning closer to him. As much as Tai liked Daisuke, he couldn't think of anyone better to be with his sister then TK. Tai then looked at Daisuke beside him. If looks could kill.

"Ahem..."

Tai looked up to see the blonde haired girl from the game.

"Oh so you've some to gloat some more?" Tai asked.

"Actually no," the girl glared, "I came to apologize retard! I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry about earlier, both for kicking you and also for being so rude this morning." She said and paused, trying to smile again. Tai could see that this was hard for her to say. He wondered who had put her up to it.

"My name is Kagayaku, but my friends call me Kai." She held out her hand for Tai to shake.

Tai just looked at her hand and then back to her eyes, making no motion to take it. Kai blushed and quickly returned her hand back to her side.

"Well, I just didn't want any hard feelings after the game. Obviously you really don't care so I'm wasting my time." Kai said and then waked back to the booth where the rest of her teammates were.

"Well that was harsh." Mimi said.

"What was harsh?" Tai asked.

"He was just giving her what she deserved" Daisuke spoke up.

"She came to apologize and you shot her down. I mean the least you could have done was shake her hand!" Mimi said.

"I'll have to agree with Mimi on this one Tai" Sora said, "You could have accepted her apology and then let the whole thing go."

"Well I really don't care! I mean am I supposed to just act nice when I don't really feel it? What am I supposed to do about it now?" Tai said his cheeks growing red with anger.

"What does that little pea brain under your huge hair tell you to do" Matt asked.

"Hey man, don't dis the hair!" Tai said and glared at Matt. Their eyes met and for a moment nothing was said. Then they both burst into laughter.

"I say that it doesn't matter. It's not like he is ever going to see her again. Maybe at another soccer tournament or something. That's all." Daisuke spoke up.

"That is precisely the problem," Izzy said.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Iori asked.

"I think what Izzy means is that if word gets out around the soccer community of how Tai holds grudges or what not it can earn him a bad rep. Then what does that do to his image?" Ken said.

"Oh, I never thought of that." Daisuke said.

"That is your problem Daisuke, you don't think" T.K. smiled.

Kari punched TK but she herself was smiling too.

"Well what about her? Does it not matter that she holds grudges? Come on, I'm not the only one at fault here!" Tai said.

"Yeah, but her and her team are already known for being cocky. It's not like an incident like this does much to them. You on the other hand so far have a clean record. And it not only reflects on you but it reflects on the team!" Sora said.

"Okay here you go!" The waitress said returning with their order. As she left Tai looked up from his Coke and mountainous ice cream. The waitress had given him three extra scoops of ice cream.

"Okay, I don't want my ice cream to melt so I'll talk to her once I'm done. Make all of you happy?" Tai said taking a spoonful of his Sunday.

They all laughed and talked as they ate and Tai felt much better about the day. He was glad that he had friends that he could count on for times like this.

"Umm. Tai I think you took a little too long eating" Sora said.

Tai looked up to see the other soccer team getting up and leaving the shop.

"Well I guess you win some and you loose some. Today you just lost." Matt said.

Tai felt a little bad but it didn't really matter. Daisuke was right with what he said earlier. He would never see her again anyway so why did it matter?

"I'll just have to make up with her next time we meet then huh?" Tai shrugged and sipped his coke.

Mimi just glared at him.
