A soft smile formed in Sora's lips as she walked through the airport with Matt and the rest of the group.

It had been a few weeks since Matt had told her about his intentions in schooling abroad to America...to Mimi. She tried to block that thought out of her head as she wistfully looked around the place. The argument they had that day was fierce and painful for both of them. She was angry at the thought of him living for a whole year, but she was very much hurt at the thought of him schooling with Mimi.

Sora knew she should not be jealous, Mimi Tachikawa was one of her closest friends, and the tinge of jealousy bothered her a lot. Last year when Mimi last visited she was utterly struck dumbfounded at the features that had changed for her friend. It seemed as if she became the belle of the ball when parties were held during her short visit. Her looks were not the only thing that changed; her personality had turned for the best. It was not as if she was a boring and terribly annoying girl before, it just seemed as if she was much funnier to talk to. Her humorous stories of American life had everyone pushing to get a chance to talk to her, most specifically the boys.

Sighing to herself, Sora shifts her attentions back to the present time.

Matt was laughing heartedly at a joke Tai had stated. Matt...it would be hard to live without his wonderful aura around, Sora imagined. The quarrel they had held did not last very long. Though she was really hurt, she still could not stay mad at him for a long period of time. They had said their apologies to each other and settled the situation. Matt had said he could not stand long distance relationships, and Sora agreed. She did not want to let him go but fate seemed to be against her. Poor Sora, once again alone and soon to lose her boyfriend. What ever shall she do?

But what's this? Sora quickly gives a fleeting glance to Tai her cheeks slightly turning rosy. Could it be? Oh my...how fast she had forgotten Matt? But I suppose it is for the best. Nothing better but to start now...what am I saying? Back to the story.

"I really wish you the best of luck in your schooling Matt." Sora said as she gave him a radiant smile.

"Thanks Sora, that really means a lot. Look...I'm still sorry about-"

Gently placing a finger on his lip, she sorrowfully shakes her head. "Do not be sorry for anything Yamato...I am still happy that we are friends." Slowly and carefully she takes a small box wrapped in baby blue wrapping out of her bag. It had a white bow tied on it. Looking up to him, she softly smiles.

"Here, I want you to open this when you are in the airplane. I don't want you to forget me you know."

Surprised at the thought that Sora had taken time to give him a present, Matt takes the present a smile forming in his face. "Thank you Sora."

Tai stands a few distances away looking at the two his heart slightly aching. He knew deep in Sora's heart, she regretted to say her partings to her one true love. Why was he so stubborn to think that Sora would ever give him the time of day when her eyes only cast their warmth to Matt? No, this should not stop him from caring for her.

Matt glances at Tai in time to see the cast of hurt in his eyes. All along Matt had known of Tai's feelings for Sora, he had never held a grudge on his friend for this. Perhaps it was because Tai had never shown any hint of flirtatious movements when Sora and Matt were dating. But how about now? When he leaves, shall Tai try to win Sora's feelings while his best friend's back was turned? It should have bothered and even made Matt jealous, but somehow, those feelings seemed to be absent in him.

He was shocked to realize that his thoughts were slowly drifting back to the girl that waited to see him in America. During the weeks that lead up to his departing date, Matt fiercely cursed himself for continuously thinking of Mimi as each passing day. What is it about her? Why could he not get her out of his mind? Did he like her?

Shaking his head in the thoughts of all these questions, Matt decides that he is just probably excited to see his old friend once more. There is that word again, 'old'. Goodness Matt, don't ever tell Mimi that, for your own good.

"Well here we are!" T.K sorrowfully muttered as they stopped themselves in front of Matt's gate.

There, the group stood in silence as they watched Matt slowly give each of his friends a hug and short murmurs of 'I'll Miss You's'. As he finished, he picked his bag up and gave them a reassuring grin that Sora believed to have been so cute.

"This is it you guys, one year of not seeing you all." Flashbacks of there past adventures flood through his mind and he had a few seconds of doubt as to whether he should stay. How absurd! You've bought your ticket already, now be a man and go forth to the newfound land!

"I'll truly miss you all," he stated as he shifted his gaze on each person on the group his eyes slightly lingering on Sora who looked so vulnerable and sad. I'm so sorry about this Sora, but I can't go back, it is too late. Matt sorrowfully thought to himself, I do hope you will find someone...His thoughts drifted off as he watched Tai's arm go around Sora, pulling her closer to him for reassurance.

Matt silently thanked Tai for being a wonderful friend; he was sure now that Sora would be all right. As Sora gazes to Tai, Matt gives a sigh of happiness, Now I do not have to worry about her. Wishing that Tai and Sora would end up together, Matt turns around waving a last goodbye to his friends, and to his past life. Now as he walks into the airplane, he begins to think of the life that awaits him in America. A vision of Mimi forms into his mind, her arms wide open in a welcoming gesture as laughter and happiness shows in her eyes.

Smiling to himself, Matt walks into the airplane no longer stopping the thoughts of Mimi welcoming him and the thoughts of the one-year ahead.
