Digioperation: Payback
Part One

Matt walked around the cafeteria until he found a place to sit. He put down his tray and sat down. He started eating, but wasn't really paying attention. He couldn't believe his own brother would spy on him! T.K. and Kari had pulled a fast one on him and Mimi. While they were setting up Tai and Sora together, Kari and her accomplice, T.K., had taken pictures of them. They were caught at the movies, the restaurant, and kissing at the Odaiba Cliffs!
To make it worse, they then used the pictures in their photography class. Matt was glad they got a good grade, but he and Mimi had decided to keep their relationship a secret until they were ready. Now that wasn't an option. Matt wanted to get back at his brother, but he couldn't think of a way.
His thoughts were interupted when Mimi walked over to him. "Hey there!" She welcomed. "May I sit down?"
He looked up at her and smiled,"Could I deny myself the opportunity to sit next to the prettiest girl in school?" He replied. She smiled and sat down. Matt tried to think of something to do to get back at T.K., but he was still stumped. Mimi saw something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I was just thinking about how I could get back at T.K. and Kari for what they did." He told her.
She smiled, "Don't think too hard. You might pull a muscle." She laughed. "Anyway, don't worry. It'll come to you. Think about something else. In English, my teacher mentioned that they were asking for poems to be posted in the school newspaper. Why don't you enter something. Your good at making jokes, you could write something really funny." She suggested.
Matt shook his head. "I'm not one for words. A good poem needs to rhyme. T.K. was always better at that then...." He stoppped. "That's it. I know how to get him back."
Mimi was confused, "How?"
Matt leaned in and told her. She was shocked. "Matt. I didn't think you would slip that low."
"Hey, this is my brother. There's nothing like a little sibling rivelry." He smiled. "Thanks Mimi." He leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I gotta go and get it set up." With that he picked up his tray and left the cafeteria.

The next week, T.K. was looking through his locker for his math book when his friend, Tom walked up. "Hey, T.K. I saw the newspaper. That was really sweet."
T.K. looked at his friend with a confused look on his face. "What do you mean?"
"That poem you wrote. It was good, but did you really have to dedicate it?" Tom replied.
"I didn't write anything." T.K. said. "Let me see it."
"Yeah sure, I got an extra one." Tom handed it over and T.K. opened it. He turned the pages till he got to the shout out page. When he saw what was there, he was dumbfounded. "What!!!"

Kari wsa walking with her friends to Chemisty when one of them asked,"What do you think of that peom T.K. wrote."
Kari asked, "T.K. wrote a poem?" Kari knew he was good with words, but he was much too shy to actually publish anything.
"Yeah, you haven't seen it yet." Her friend handed her a copy.
She started to opened it when T.K. showed up. "Uh, Kari can I speak with you?" He asked. He was out of breath.
"Sure." She said good-bye to her friends and went over with T.K. "What is it T.K.?"
He didn't say anything. He opened up the school newspaper and showed her one particular article.
It read: Kari your eyes are as beautiful
As the sky on a clear night
Everytime I see you
My heart wants to takes flight

I want to be with you always
And never let you go
I have to say I love you
This you have to know

By: T.K. Dedicated to Kari Kamiya
When Kari was finished reading this she was at a loss for words. Finally she was able to speak, "T.K. it's beautiful."
"There's only one problem. I didn't write it." He said.
"Then who did?" She asked him.
"Only one person comes to mind." He replied.
She thought for a moment, of course. "Matt!!" T.K. nodded. "He wouldn't." She said. She never saw Matt as the type to do something like this.
"Why not? We got him with his girlfriend. Now he's out to get me. But I think I have an idea to get him back. Come on!" He grabbed her hand and they went off.

Matt was besides himself laughing at what had happened. The whole school was talking about the love poem T.K. had written to Kari. Matt had had a friend write a poem and then turn it in under T.K.'s name. That would show his little brother not to mess with "the man."
Matt walked Mimi home later that week. The school had died down a bit, but Matt hadn't forgotten. While he was walking home they passed by a newspaper stand. Mimi went over and bought a copy. She needed it because of the fashion section. They continued to walk, when Mimi suddenly stopped. Her face turned pale.
"Mimi what's wrong?" He asked. She didn't reply. She just pointed at the bottom of the front page. Matt looked and gasped.
Dedicated to my love Mimi
By: Matt Ishida
I will love you forever
This you cannot change
If you were to leave
I would find you at any range

I cannot stand to be away from you
Your presents makes me complete
All the girls in the world
Against you, they can't compete.
Matt was speechless. "How did he do it?" Mimi asked. They both knew it was T.K. who did this. "I don't know." Matt finally said. "But now it's payback time." He grasped her hand. "Come on!"
"Where are we going?" She asked.
"To the only person who can help us. He's the most conniving person I know."
"Who?" Mimi asked.
"Tai." Matt replied.

They made it to Tai's house in record time. Matt knocked on the door. No answer. "Come on. Come on!" He knocked again. This time Tai answered the door.
"Hey Matt? What's up?" He asked.
"Tai I hate to say this, but I need your help." Matt said. He hated coming to Tai, but at this point he had little choice.
"You need my help?" Tai was amazed. Matt would never ask him for help unless his life, or that or his reputation, depended on it. "Come in." He said
Matt and Mimi walked in and sat on the couch. "Is Kari here?" Matt asked.
"No, she called and said she would be staying after achool for her photography class. What's this all about?"
"Tai I need help to get back at my brother." Matt said.
"Oh so you saw the newspaper. I thought that was pretty good." Tai said laughing.
"Come on Tai. I can't let him off for that." Matt said
"But he's your own brother. I don't want to get between you two." Tai said.
"But, you have reason to get him too." Matt replied.
"Oh, yeah? What?" Tai asked.
"If you help us get him....you'll be getting back at Kari too!" Matt answered.
Tai considered this. He did owe Kari a prank or two for last April Fool's Day. This could be good. But what to do? Then he got it. "Ok, I'll help. This is what we're going to do." He told them his plan and they accepted it. This would be the pranks of all pranks. Matt would get his payback. Revenge is so sweet.
