Alright, now that you know what you need to know, let's get to the story!
"TK, you know it's almost Christmas, right?" asked Kari as they put up the lights on the Christmas tree in their house.
"Yeah, 13 days till Christmas. Why?" asked TK as they started to put up the ornaments.
"I know I've asked this question every year, but, can we please host a Christmas party with our friends? Please, TK?" asked Kari in her sweetest voice and her puppy-dog eyes.
TK put the silver ornament on the Christmas tree and looked at Kari. "You know how I feel about this."
"Yes, yes I know. . ."
"Then why do you ask this question every year when you know I'll say no?" asked TK.
"Please, TK? Please?" asked Kari again, but TK only shook his head.
"Kari, we've lost contact with all of our friends, how do you expect us to find them and bring them here in time for Christmas? We've even lost contact with our brothers."
"I know. But still . . ." pouted Kari.
"Joe and Clarissa are in Spain working as doctors, Tai is in America for his soccer scholarship, Matt is in Italy for his band, Sora is in Taiwan for her designing career, Mimi is France for her modeling career, Izzy and his girlfriend, Rachel, are in a software business in Russia, Ken took his soccer scholarship in Korea, Yolei is in China in process of becoming an author, and Cody is studying to be a lawyer in Spain ." started TK.
"I know," said Kari frowning. TK hated it when Kari was sad, and he especially hated it when she got rejected more than once.
"So, I decided," started TK. Kari looked at him. "that if you get in contact with all our friends, and our brothers, that we can have a party." Kari's face lit up and smiled.
"Oh thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, TK!" said Kari giving him a big hug. "You meant that, right?"
"I can't believe I'm saying this but, yeah." said TK. Kari smiled and gave him another hug.
"This is going to be the best Christmas ever!" said Kari.
"Come on. Let's finish the Christmas tree." said TK. Kari nodded her head and they continued decorating the Christmas tree.
It was still early in the morning, so Kari had plenty of time in the day to contact as many people as she could. Kari stretched her arms before she started dialing her friends' numbers. Kari's first target was Tai, her older brother.
He left to America while Sora was still his girlfriend. The day they broke up was the day everyone broke up. They all left the same day to fulfill their dreams as a famous doctor, as a famous soccer player, as a famous band lead singer, as a famous designer, as a famous model, as a famous software worker, as a famous author, and as a famous lawyer.
"Hello?" asked the voice on the other line.
"Tai? Tai? Tai! This is me, Kari, your little---" started Kari.
"Sorry, but I, Tai Kamiya, am not at the phone right now, and if you started to talk after I said 'hello' you fell for it! Ha, ha, ha! Leave a message after the beep." said Tai on the receiver.
"I should of known it was a prank!" giggled Kari. As soon as she heard the beep, she stopped laughing. "Hi, Tai. It's me, Kari, your little sister. It's been a long time, huh? Well, I really miss you and your obnoxious, overprotective attitude. Call me back right after you hear this message because I want to tell you something really important. Alright, bye, Tai!"
Kari sighed as she hung up the phone. "Any luck contacting Tai?" asked TK. Kari shook her head and Tai went back upstairs to take a nap. Kari dialed another number. Her second target was Matt, TK's older brother.
Kari dialed Matt's number. "Hi, you've reach the famous Matt Ishida. If you have my number, you are either one of my relatives, one of my obsessive, weird fan club people, or my friends. Most likely you're one of my obsessive, weird fan club people. If you are one of my obsessive, weird fan club people, don't even bother saying anything after the beep. If you are one of the two choices left, please leave a message after the beep, and I'll try to return your call. Bye."
Kari sighed again, but then waited for the beep. "Hi, Matt. This is Kari Kamiya, TK's girlfriend, remember me? Anyway, I was really hoping that you would answer. Well, after you get this message, call me right away. Bye, Matt!"
Kari hung up the phone and dialed Sora, her next target. "Hi, you've reached Sora Tokenouchi, a designer. I'm sorry I couldn't answer the phone right now, but please leave your name and number after the beep, and I'll return your call. Thank you, bye."
Kari smiled. "Still the sweet one," said Kari. The beep went on and Kari cleared her throat. "Hi, Sora. It's me, Kari Kamiya. You're still the same, sweet and caring. Well, please call me back after you get this message. Bye, Sora, I miss you!"
Kari got up and got a drink of water before she dialed the next number, Mimi, her fourth target. "Hi! You've reached me, Mimi Tachikawa, a model! Anyway, I'm, like, so really sorry I couldn't, like, get to the phone right now! Anyway, please leave your name and number after, like, the beep and I'll, like, try to return your call! Or was it, leave your, like, number and name after, like, the beep? Anyway, sorry I couldn't, like, get to the phone again! Like, bye!"
Kari smiled and giggled at Mimi's voicemail. "Typical, girlish Mimi. You always make me laugh! I think you used the work 'like' too much in your voicemail, but it was cute and funny! Anyway, this is Kari Kamiya, and after you get this message, call me back. Like, bye, Mimi!" said Kari copying Mimi's voice at the end.
Kari smiled and dialed Izzy. "This is Izzy's voicemail. Sorry Izzy couldn't get to the phone right now, but he's probably to busy or too lazy to pick up the phone. I think it's too lazy to pick up the phone. Heh, heh! Well, this is Rachel, Izzy's girlfriend, so please leave your name and number after the beep and Izzy will try to return your call! Bye!"
"Hi, Izzy. This is me, Kari Kamiya. And if Rachel is listening, don't worry, I don't like Izzy, only as a brotherly like friend. Anyway, give me a call after you get this message. Bye Izzy! Bye Rachel!" said Kari.
Kari stretched her arms before dialing Ken's number. "Hi, this is Ken. I'm not at the phone right now. Uh . . .leave your name and . . .number after the beep and I'll return your call."
"Hi, Ken! It's me, Kari Kamiya! Your voicemail is the simplest one I've heard! Anyway, call me back as soon as you get this message! Bye, Ken!" said Kari. Kari took a sip from her water and started to dial Yolei's number. "Just two more. Two more people." said Kari as she heard the ringing.
"Hi there! You've reached Yolei Inou! Thank you for calling me, but sadly I didn't answer. . .but be happy! Just leave a message after the beep and I'll return your call! Thank you, bye! Oh! Wait, leave your name and number also! Okay, bye!" said Yolei.
"Hi, Yolei! This is Kari Kamiya! I'm glad you kept your phone number! Anyway, please call me back right after you get this message! Bye, Yolei!" said Kari. Kari took a deep breath and rolled her neck before dialing Cody's number.
"Hello, this is Cody. I am not at the phone right now. I might be busy or doing something else. It's most likely the two. Anyway, I'm sorry I couldn't answer the phone. Please leave your name and number after the beep and I'll try to return your call. And since it's almost Christmas, Merry Christmas."
"Hmm . . .Cody must of did his voicemail sometime this month," said Kari waiting for the beep to happen. "Hi, Cody! Merry Christmas to you, too! Anyway, this is Kari Kamiya, and if you get this message, call me back right away! Bye, Cody!"
Kari, thinking she was done with the calling and everything, got up from her seat. TK came downstairs as well. "Hey, Kari."
"Hi, TK. I am so tired! All those phone calls weren't successful. They all had their voicemails there! Tai, Matt, Sora, Mimi, Izzy, Rachel, Ken, Yolei, and even Cody!" said Kari.
"You forgot Joe and Clarissa." said TK.
"Ugh!" said Kari.
"Don't worry. I'll call him for you," said TK.
"Thank you. I'm going to take a nap." said Kari. "Wait! After you call Joe and Clarissa, send all of them emails just incase they don't get the message right away."
"Alright," said TK as Kari went upstairs to take a nap.
TK stretched his arms before he called Joe and Clarissa. "Hello, this is Joe Kido. I'm probably not answering the phone right now because I'm busy with a patient, or doing something busy. Anyway, please leave your name and number after the beep and I'll try to return your call. Thank you, bye."
"Hey, Joe. This is TK, remember me? Anyway, call me back, and tell Clarissa this, too, because I don't have her number. Anyway, as soon as you get this message call me back. Bye." said TK. After he was done calling Joe, he went to the computer and started to type emails to all his friends.
TK's Email:
