-They look so cute together! - Matt said, emphasizing the word cute.
-You are so dead, Ishida! - Tai bellowed red of rage.
The two big brothers were standing out of earshot of their younger siblings. The younger ones were best friends. Too close for Tai's liking. He hated boys watching her sister, let alone talking to her. T.K and Kari were very close. Luckily for Tai, it wouldn't last long. T.K was only visiting. Because of his and Matt's parents' divorce, he lived away with her mom.
It was summer, with a week and a half, or maybe more for school to start. Tai and Matt were taking T.K and Kari to a party far away. They were supposed to leave an hour ago, but with Tai and Matt, you can call it mission impossible.
-Tai!!!-Kari screamed.
-Yes?
-Let's go! We'll be late!-the brunette called.
-We are late, sweetie!-Matt shouted back.
-Don't call her sweetie! Tai whispered loudly to his best friend.
-Chill, Tai! God!-Matt responded, clearly annoyed.
The ride was an hour and a half, but the party was in one hour… There was no way they were going to make it. Just now they got in Matt's car. Tai insisted in going on the back with her sister, but Matt insisted it was stupid. In the end, Matt took the driver's seat besides a fuming Tai, leaving T.K and his best friend sitting on the back.
-Are we there yet?-Tai, who kept glancing at Kari and T.K, said. They were just 15 minutes on the road.
-This is going to be a long ride-T.K exclaimed.
Kari yawned. She rested her head on T.K's shoulder, making T.K instinctively wrap an arm around her. This was not weird between them. They would always do this, and you would usually mistake them with a couple. T.K noticed Kari shiver, which led him to take off his jacket and putting it on her. Kari gave him a thankful smile and instantly fell asleep. In such a comfortable position, even T.K fell sleepy. After a few minutes, the two younger ones were sleeping soundly.
All of this went unnoticed by the bigger ones on the front. When Tai decided to sneak another glance at his sister, he saw the shocking image. Matt, seeing he was too quiet, looked back and saw the sleeping figures of T.K and Kari. Matt didn't want them to be waken, so he decided to convince Tai.
-Tai…Do you really want to wake her up? Because if you do, she might get a headache, or maybe worse!-Matt insisted.
-Really? But she's sleeping on T.K's shoulder! Wearing his jacket! And he has an arm around her! It's....It's…Terrible!-An incredibly shocked Tai managed.
-Chill. Relax. They are JUST best friends! Let them be, Tai.-Matt said, *Yeah, right! Just friends* Matt thought.
After an hour, they were nearing the destination. Matt said it would be best if they woke up their siblings.
-T.K! Kari! We're here! Well, almost here… But still, wake up!-Matt said, deciding it would be better if Tai didn't wake them. The younger ones stirred a little, and then slowly opened their eyes.
-You are so dead, Takaishi-Tai said through gritted teeth.
-Huh? What did I do?-A confused T.K asked.
-Stay away from her!-growled Tai, causing Kari to roll her eyes.
-Kari, I have to tell you something-The younger blonde said.
-We're here!-Matt said, getting an HALELUYA! from Tai.
-Come, I'll tell you outside, T.K said, grabbing her hand.
Once outside, they noticed it was a bright, sunny day, great for a party.
-You know I don't live here, right?-T.K said. Kari nodded in response. T.K smiled. –I'll be moving again.-Kari's smile faded. –You're going away?- was all she could say. T.K's smile grew bigger.-No! I'm moving…here!-Kari squealed in joy and hugged him tightly. T.K gave her a small spin around and gave her a light kiss on the cheek. This was also normal between them. They would not do it regularly, just in some very happy or special occasions, but it still was normal.
-No way!-screamed Tai, who was far enough not to hear their conversation, but he could still watch them. –He asked her to be his girlfriend!-
-What makes you think that?-Matt asked
-First, he said he needed to say something and he took her away. Then he said something and she hugged him, he spun her and kissed her on the cheek! He's dead man!-Tai said
-Why don't you just check first?-Matt suggested
-Oh, I will-Tai said, already walking to the pair with his fists painfully clenched
-Kari! Away from him!-Tai screamed-What's going on here!-He screamed again
-Oh, Tai! It's great! T.K's moving back here!-Kari said, T.K's arm around her-No way! I'll have to stand this guy all the time?-Tai said, confused, shocked and angry-Yeah! He's even going to my school!-a still excited Kari said-What did I do to deserve this-Tai muttered. Kari hugged him again and this time she gave him a kiss on the cheek. This was the last straw for Tai.-Away!-he said to Kari, pulling her to the party. Then, a cell phone started ringing and startled them. T.K answered his ringing cell phone and muttered a few ''yeah''s and muttered bye. -Kari…I can't go to the party. I have to help my mom unpack.-T.K said sadly-It's okay, as long as you see me tomorrow-Kari said
-Sure-T.K answered, somewhat more happily-How about we go to the park and catch up on each other's lives and then go to that pool in the new hotel I saw-T.K suggested-Perfect! And after we can have a picnic on the Digital World!-Kari said
-Done!-T.K answered.-I'm sorry but I've got to go before I'm any later to the party. See you tomorrow!-Kari said and hugged him before leaving-Hey! Don't I get a hug?-Tai said. –What about me?-Matt said jokingly, getting an icy glare from Tai. Kari hugged Tai and Matt and left. Matt and Tai turned to the youngest blonde present. T.K got a smile from Matt and a killer glare from Tai. He ran up to the car and they left.
