The crowd screamed, a sea of fans whose roar drowned out every other sound, jumping up and down, clamoring for more, but soon it was apparent that the Teenaged Wolves were not returning for another encore. The seething mass of people started streaming for the exit at the far end of the town hall, piling themselves practically on top of one another as they jammed through the wide double doors.

~*~Matt~*~

Okay, so maybe the town hall wasn't the classiest place for a gig, but when you're up and coming musicians, it's pretty hard to get a decent venue, especially if you're teenagers. It was only by sheer luck (and the fact that my parents had a lot of contacts in the media business) that we managed to get the town hall…not to mention the pages of contracts and disclaimers saying that we were liable for all and any damage that occurred.

I slowly made my way through fawning fans thrusting pens in my face in hopes for an autograph to the stage where I knew my friends would be waiting for me. I barely made it through with all my clothes intact as some of the more enthusiastic ones decided autographs weren't enough and wanted pieces of my clothing as a souvenir. "Hey guys, fancy seeing you here." 

I cracked a smile at the twelve people in front of me. They were my friends, my comrades. We had been through a hell of a lot together, all thirteen of us… 

…Thirteen of us?!?! Hold on a minute… 

I frowned slightly, noticing that there was one body too many. Sora was there, Tai, Kari and TK, Joe, Izzy, Mimi, too and the newer Digidestined, Cody, Yolie, Ken, Davis and…waving her hands around maniacally, JUN!

"Matty!  Hey Matty!  You were awesome! Awesome show, Matt! That was, like, WOW! Awesome!" 

I sighed as Jun melted to the ground, love hearts in her eyes. Tai was trying his hardest not to crack up laughing. It somewhat made me feel better when Sora and Kari smacked him over the head in unison.

"Err, hi Jun, so…what are you doing here?"

"I came to see your concert Silly!" Jun giggled. Davis coughed loudly. "Oh and to give my brother a ride," she added snidely to Davis.

"Really, ahh, that's nice"

I tried to smile but I don't think I pulled it off very well. Well, it couldn't have been that bad; Jun still looked star struck…it's good to know I still got it. 

It was when I turned my eyes to my best friend Tai, who was now rolling on the floor, holding his stomach that I realized I failed miserably.

"Well it's getting pretty late now…" TK said, the hint barely veiled, with a surreptitious wink in my direction.

Thank you TK! A way out!

"Good point TK." However, Jun didn't seem to get it as she turned to bestow a sugary smile at my brother.

I barely suppressed my own laughter when Kari shot Jun the most venomous look I've ever seen. Ohh, this is sooo blackmail material.

Unfortunately, Jun's attention wasn't diverted for long as she turned her focus back around to me, "So Matt, what are you up to now?"

"Err, uhh, I just got a few plans…you know guy stuff," I held my breath and hoped that she bought it.

"Ohh…that's too bad…So TK, What are you doing?"

"I…err…that is…" TK stammered as a frantic edge crept into his voice.

"Sorry Jun, he can't make it either, err, we're doing that whole brotherly bonding thing," I suddenly added as I jumped off the stage and roughly threw my arm around TK's shoulder in a show of affection towards my younger sibling. I figured I owed him for that comment earlier.

"Yeah, and I'm his brother so I can't make it either"

I rolled my eyes. Smooth Teek, smooth… "Ahh, well, I suppose I could…," Jun's voice trailed off to my great relief, but suddenly a light bulb appeared over her head, "I could spend time with my darling brother," she said as she tried to move closer to Davis.

"Come on Ken, let's go. You're staying at my place right?" Davis yelled over his shoulder as he bolted for the door.

"Yup, right behind you," said Ken with a grin as he sauntered out the door after Davis.

"Well come on girls, we had better get going too, it is getting late," added Tai as he stretched and yawned nonchalantly, trying the oldest trick in the book, ending up with one arm around Mimi's shoulders and the other around Sora's.

I groaned inwardly. Sad Tai, sad. Tai, again, got slapped on his head double time. 

As Mimi removed his arm from her, she turned to Kari and Sora, "Hey girls, need a ride?"

"Thanks Meems"

The three of them linked arms and went off together. I don't know what Tai was expecting, but hell, I felt like slapping him. Poor Tai, he was just staring at the ground, but he brightened up when he felt two pairs of arms link up with his. He was beaming that cheesy grin of his again…

"See, I knew you couldn't leave without me!"

"You're absolutely right Tai" Izzy said from his right side.

"We're not going anywhere without you, because your girlfriends took our ride, so lets go Romeo!"  Joe said from his left.

Ohh, this is just priceless! I could barely stand from laughing so much; I had to lean on TK, and he was also totally dependent on me to keep upright. After wiping away a tear from my eye, I noticed Jun drooling at TK and I. A scary enough sight to see that my urge to laugh completely died. She's like a lion, a great beast with a wild mane, circling its prey, waiting to go in for the kill.

"Err, hey TK, I think we'd better get going before Mum wonders where you got to," I quickly added, elbowing him slightly.

TK stopped laughing long enough to look up and see Jun drooling at us. He quickly sobered too, "Uhh, good point Matt. Bye Yolie, see you Jun…and if I see you, first I'll run," TK added that last bit under his breath and we made a beeline for the door. The exit was now in sight, freedom at last.

~*~Yolie~*~

I looked at Davis's older sister who was too busy drooling over the two brothers as they rushed out to notice their hunted looks. I couldn't resist adding, "That's really sad you know?"

"Excuse me?"  She asked haughtily, looking at me for the first time this evening.

"You. You drool over any new boy you see, and you practically stalk the ones you know. It's sad!"

"Weeeell, excuse me but look who's talking!  Miss IdroolsomuchIneedabib, if any one here's a guy-stalking freak, it's you! All the guys I sta…err…follow around, want me to!"

I snorted in derision, "You keep telling yourself that, Jun."

She turned a shade of violent red that almost matched her hair in its intensity. "Please, I have a certain thing that drive guys wild and you're just jealous. You're just a little teeny bopper who, like a moth, goes straight for the cutest guys, only to be swatted away when you get too annoying!"

I was starting to get a bit mad, "Pleeeeease, I could have any guy I wanted, I'm…err…just not looking for a serious relationship at the moment."

Yeah, you tell her Yolie! "Really…" Jun replied with a gleam in her eye, "Are you prepared to put a wager on that?"

I narrowed my eyes suspiciously, wondering what she was up to, "A wager?"

Jun nodded, her lips curled in a vicious smile of triumph, "A skank-off!"

"A what?!?" My voice rose an octave unconsciously.

Jun gave me an exasperated look that made me want to scratch her eyes out. She explained in a condescending tone as if a skank-off was something that every teenage girl knew about, "We go out one night and at the end of it, we add up and see who got the most phone numbers. Whoever gets the most wins!"

I smiled inwardly…it sounded like a good chance to show Jun who's really got it, "Okay, I'm in!"

"Great, we'll discuss the details later."

"Fine by me."

I grinned confidently as I turned by back to her and walked off. If either one of us were to win this war, we'd need friends, and I had the perfect people…
