Well here it is. . . the sequal to Coffee :D
Hot Choclate and Tea
Chapter 1
Why Can't Boys be like Cats
Well, as you can see, Tai's story ended. He got Sora, his journey complete, the long grueling journey finished, Tai victorious in the end.
Okay . . . maybe not. These things don't happen overnight, but he did get Sora, right? Maturity will come with time.
But what happened to the people in the story. The one he used and the antagonist? Do they just die as his journey ended, or with the close of one journey another begins?
So here is where our new journey begins, in a tea shop, with cute little tea cups.
It was a traditional Japanese tea shop . . . meaning you sat on the floor, no fancy chairs.
In the corner of this tea shop, sitting on the floor, with his tea pot and tiny cup was Yamato Ishida.
Crazed fans may be surprised to find him in this . . . well tea shop, but our story begins here with Matt.
Matt was thinking.
While drinking.
He was thinking, about nothing in particular. He came here a lot when he was thoughtful. No one would ever look for him here.
He was thinking about Sora, and how she was now with Tai, and Tai now that he had Sora. This made him . . . jealous. He didn't want to admit to the fact that he was jealous, but he was, he was jealous of Tai.
Then of course there was Sam, he'd really blown it with her, though he didn't exactly know how, she probably just freaked out on him, he probably hadn't done anything. Why was he sitting here worrying about her? He sighed, frustrated.
He took a sip of his tea.
He watched people walk in and out of the tea shop.
Their lives all seemed at peace, probably they had all the answers they needed and were unlike him, sitting here struggling to discover what was wrong with his life.
Tai happily sat next to Matt and Sora in the cafeteria. "I wonder where Sam is."
She occasionally on and off would sit with them, since homecoming, more often she wouldn't be here.
"Maybe she's not hungry," Davis said.
"She really should eat, food is good," Tai said taking a bite of his pizza.
Kari and Yolei sitting across from each other were talking.
"What do you think the real reason is," Yolei said to Kari.
Kari carefully glanced at Tai and Matt to make sure they weren't eves dropping, "Well she's hasn't really been here that often since homecoming."
"Yes," Yolei said thoughtfully, "Do you think one of them did something stupid."
"I don't know," Kari said.
Yolei glanced at the two boys, "Tai could have but he was with Sora most of the night."
"She went with Matt," Kari said.
"Hmm, I wonder if he did something stupid," Yolei said.
"This is Matt," Kari replied.
"True, he probably was way too cautious," Yolei said.
"How?" Kari asked.
"Well it took them forever to start dancing, and they only danced once, and the rest of the time it was just them standing with like two feet in between them and every time Sam said something Matt just nodded," Yolei said.
"Wow you catch a lot," Kari replied.
"Yeah, well I promised to keep Mimi updated on Sora and Matt," Yolei said.
"Oh, Sora and Tai seem to be doing fine," Kari glanced at them.
"Yeah, it's good, I'm glad it worked out the whole taking your best friends girlfriend thing," Yolei said.
"Yes that could have become a disaster," Kari nodded.
Yolei nodded in agreement looking at the two boys.
Next to Yolei, and Kari in their own little world was Davis, Ken, and T.K. with the occasional word from Izzy.
"So," Davis began bored, now that Matt and Tai had ignored him.
T.K. looked at him blankly.
"What?" Ken asked.
"I think," Davis said.
"Look he thinks," T.K. said to Ken.
"Shut up T.P." Davis said.
Ken shook his head.
"HEY," Davis shouted, ignoring the awkward silence and glances given to him he continued, "T.P. it sounds like Tee Pee like the things that Indians live in, like those American people," Davis said, "I wonder if Americans live in those, made from deer hide."
Ken sighed.
T.K. stared at him blankly.
Izzy looked at him hoping he wasn't serious.
"Wouldn't that be cool," Davis said, "But you wouldn't get cable."
"How we wouldn't be able to live without that," T.K. said sarcastically.
"I KNOW," more glances at Davis, "I mean I would just die."
T.K. just nodded his head; it wasn't even worth asking if he knew what sarcasm was.
"I mean all the important things I do on T.V. like all the soccer games I'd miss, and movies, and shows and. . .I wouldn't miss my sister's crappy chick flicks."
"You don't like chick flick's Davis?" Yolei asked.
"Those are stupid girl movies," he replied.
"You wouldn't watch one with us," Yolei said.
Davis looked at Yolei, but then at Kari, "Well maybe."
"I bet T.K. would," Yolei said.
Kari kicked and glared at Yolei.
She smiled sweetly, "I bet Matt and Tai would too."
Tai looked over at them, "What would I do?"
"Watch chick flicks with us," Yolei said.
"Of course," Tai said shrugging.
Davis stared at his idol in shock.
"Why are we planning to?" Tai asked.
"Maybe," Yolei said.
"I bet Matt wouldn't," Davis said.
Matt shrugged, "Why would I?"
"What if a special someone asked?" T.K. said.
Matt glared at T.K., "Well there are none of those," he said getting up with his tray, "I'll talk to you guys later." With that he left the cafeteria.
They stared after him.
Tai looked at T.K. who shrugged.
Tai looked back toward where Matt disappeared.
There was something wrong.
Matt walked out of the cafeteria, who really wanted to watch a stupid "chick flick."
"What?" Sam said, she had been walking past the cafeteria.
Matt stared at her.
"Um. . ." Sam tried to think of something to say.
"Nothing," Matt mumbled walking away.
Sam stood there watching him walk away.
Davis, T.K., and Ken were walking to their gym class, the only class all three had together do to Ken's smartness, and Davis's lack of that quality.
"I hope we play dodge ball," Davis said.
Ken raised his eyebrows.
T.K. sighed.
Davis looked at them, "Why aren't you too so excited about this?"
T.K. and Ken looked at each other.
Davis opened the locker room door, "You guys won't be so quiet for long, with my awesome dodge ball skills, though I guess you could be awed by my performance."
The three boys began to get changed into their gym uniform.
Davis half dressed made his announcement, "I." he paused, "Have to pee."
Ken looked at him blankly.
"Would you like me to announce that to the world?" T.K. asked.
"Of course not Tee Pee, I just wouldn't want you guys to get offended because I'm leaving now," Davis said.
T.K. stared at him.
"Ok," Ken said lost.
"Hey Tee Pee has pee in it," Davis said.
Ken nodded slowly.
"I am going now," and Davis skipped off.
"Wow," T.K. said.
Ken nodded.
"We don't know him," T.K. said.
"Okay," Ken said.
And they left Davis in the locker room, making their way to the gym.
Sam was sitting on her couch with her cat, "Prince," she said.
The cat looked at her, well technically kitten.
"What am I suppose to do?"
Being a cat and not being able to speak obviously he didn't answer.
"Why does this always happen, I actually like someone and they become total assholes, I'm dating as I like someone else . . . never a good thing, or they pull this whole I don't actually like you crap I just led you on."
Prince Snuffleufagus obviously didn't answer.
"Maybe," she began, "I should become a nun."
Silence.
"Okay, that would suck, no offense to those nuns out their but. . . I like my non chastity life style; I mean where would the fun . . .
. . .
"Sorry I'll keep it G," she patted his head.
The cat stared at her.
"Why can't they all be like you, sweet, caring, perfect, and all that jazz? I bet if I dragged you to an art show you'd appreciate it, and I bet if I had a meaningful conversation with you, you'd listen."
He blinked.
"Yes, I need to meet someone like you, Why are you a cat?"
Snuffleufagus jumped off of Sam's lap walking into the kitchen.
"WHAT?"
He didn't turn around when she yelled.
"Okay, I'm hopeless, I just attract ass holes," she said.
Prince Snuffleufagus meowed loudly, agreeing.
"Thanks," Now she was talking to her cat, she was crazy.
She sighed, closing her eyes and laying back on the couch.
"Why am I so messed up?" she asked the cat who presently was ignoring her.
He meowed again.
"I mean I am a good person right? I mean I think I know what I'm doing in life. I mean, why do we live life, I mean there is no point, except living for other people, and right now I'm living for a cat. Well and Kiki, and his mom, she's awesome, his dads okay too I suppose. OH and I think I'm going to start working with Seniors won't that be fun," she said to Prince Snuffleufagus, "I think it would be cool, I mean whose cooler than them, I bet they could teach me some wise, wisdom filled things."
He meowed again.
"God Snuffles are you that hungry," she got up going to find his food.
He meowed.
"So is this all I am to you the lady that feeds you," she said entering the kitchen part of the room, where he was sitting by his food bowl.
She shuffled through cabinets pulling out the dry food, "Maybe my problem is that I let myself get used, and then when they don't need me they throw me out," she said, "You aren't going to do that right?" she asked the cat holding his food.
Prince stood there waiting, probably thinking something along the lines of, 'Why isn't she feeding me?'
"Well I hope you don't you're supposed to be comforting," she poured the food out, and then put it away.
He began to eat.
She shuffled through some cabinets, looking for hot chocolate mix. "So, maybe, I need a longer break from the male gender," she said. "I still have issues with them, but I guess it's that whole being wanted feeling, I'm not very good at being wanted."
He was eating.
"I mean. . .well it's hard, I guess," she sighed, "But think about those cute old people they can totally help me out with my problems especially since I don't think you've ever had a girlfriend," she look at Prince as she poured some hot coco mix into her cup.
He stopped eating staring at her.
The two stared at each other, until Prince went back to eating, she sighed again heating up some water on the stove.
"Maybe," she said, "I shouldn't over analyze these things." She stared at the water of the stove willing it to heat faster. "Maybe, that's my problem, I'm just too hopeful that things will work out, I mean, I really suck at this whole social thing, well I didn't, but now I do."
Prince Snuffleufagus walked over to her rubbing himself against her legs.
"I mean Keeks has been my only friend since I entered rehab," she sighed, "I guess that's what happens when you ditch everyone else because you're trying pull yourself back together."
Prince looked walked off and out of the room.
"I guess, I'm just getting used," she said, even that cat used her. She took her hot water off of the stove, pouring it into a cup, and mixing the hot chocolate mix in. Maybe she'd drink her coco and find something good on TV.
