TK's mom was going out of town for a week so the 8 year old blonde went to stay with his older brother Matt and their father in their apartment. Their dad had already left for work and the blonde brothers where getting ready to leave.

"Come on TK, we're gonna be late for school" Matt yelled as he banged on the bathroom door, waiting for his brother impatiently.

"Alright I'm coming, keep you shirt on." TK replied to his older brother as he exited the bathroom. Matt noticed something odd about his hair.

"TK, what's in your hair?" He asked him curiously.

"Oh, nothing" He answered nervously "now lets get to school, we can't be late…"

TK made a b-line for the door, but Matt grabbed him by the arm before he could get out.

"TK Takaishi, look me in the eye. Are you wearing my hair gel?" He asked him seriously. TK slowly turned to Matt and made eye contact with him.

"…yes…it is…" TK told his brother.

"Come on, you gotta get your hair clean before you go anywhere." He dragged his brother back to the bathroom.

"Fine…"

TK went in the bathroom and washed the gel out of his hair, making him and Matt late for school, and the next day wasn't that different…

"Come on Matt, let's go" TK said pulling his bother by the arm.

"Alright I'm comin… hold on… what's that smell?" he asked in between sniffs.

"What smell? Theirs no smell here. Nope, Notta, zilch smells here lets go" He replied suspiciously, still pulling his older brother by the arm. Matt then took a whiff of TK.

"That smell is coming from you… and it smells like my body spray, care to explain?"

"Nope, I'm good"

"Shower" he ordered.

"Aw… I hate showers…"

After TK cleaned the smell of him, he and Matt were once again late for school. And if that wasn't bad enough, Matt got detention for his 10th late that month. The next morning…

"TK, how long does it take an 8 year old kid to get dressed?" He asked, once again impatiently.

TK Then walked out of the room he and Matt shared wearing one of Matt's shirts and a pair of his pants, that were, obviously, way too big for him. Matt had had enough.

"OK, that's it…"

Matt picked TK up and put him on the couch.

"TK, why do you keep using my stuff? I mean the hair gel, then the body spray, and now you're wearing my clothes. Are you trying to be like me for some reason?"

"I… I cant tell you… you'll just make fun of me…" he answered, turning his head away from Matt.

"TK, I'm your brother… I'm gonna make fun of you no matter what it is now what is it?"

"I just… I just want Kari to notice me…" he admitted shyly, cuddling his legs.

"Kari? Isn't she your best friend? Is she ignoring you or something?"

"No she still plays with me, but I, I want her to ya know… like me…" Matt then grinned at what his brother was getting at.

"Oh, I get it now…"

"Yeah, I want her to notice me the way she notices this kid Davis in my class…" TK began to tear up.

"Now I see. But before I can help you I gotta do something…"

"What?"

"TK loves Kari, TK loves Kari, TK loves Kari!' he began to sing in a mocking way. This made TK tear up even more.

"When does the ridicule end and the advise begin?" he asked angrily.

"Right after school, I'm gonna teach you the Ishida secret to getting a girl."

"Really? You'd do that for me?"

"TK, I'm your brother, so if you can't get a girl then it reflects poorly on me, So I'm doing you a favor and me as well!"

"Good point"

"Now go get dressed, IN YOUR OWN CLOTHES, and we can go to school and not risk getting another detention."

"Ok!"

TK changed into his normal clothes and the blonde brothers bolted to school, just making the bell, and just as he promised he taught TK how to get a girl… SWAGGER! Hope you enjoyed my story ^_^ see ya later!
