A/N: I'm sooooooo sorry that I haven't posted this chapter yet, but I haven't had time to write. What with band, drumline, almost failing history, and social stuff, I had absolutely no time to write.

Kari: Can you just get on with the story? I'm dying in this closet called your mind!

Me: Right! Gomenasai. Just remember that this is an AU. And I'm sorry if the characters are a bit OOC.

(Oh my goodness. Parade season is coming to an end. Tonight is our last parade. Unfortunately, it's a Christmas parade. We have to play Jingle Bells. Seriously. Just kill me now.)

"This is our last parade of the year, so let's make it count!" This is what our drum major always says at the last parade. And here comes the signature call to attention. "BAND ATTEN-HUT!"

I could seriously care less about these details about the parade.

I'm just gonna skip to the part after. So, from what I've heard, Mimi has tried to drag TK under every single mistletoe that she could find. This really pissed TK off. He finally said that he was done with her and all of her crap. Until we had to load the bus, she was making out with this one guy who found her crying on the sidewalk.

Anyway, enough of that bitch. I don't think I've really told you much about myself. My name is Kari Kamiya. I'm a junior in high school. I've been in drumline since the sixth grade and I have learned proper technique for two mallet, four mallet, and six mallet grip. I play the clarinet and I am currently first chair. That was thanks to the help of my clarinet section leader from last year. The only reason he gave me a lot of help was because he was my boyfriend. Aha. Not anymore though. I broke up with him after I found out that he cheated on me with the flute section leader of that year. Yeah. I was so pissed off that I printed out pictures of his face, put them on two dozen eggs, and filmed a video of myself throwing them at a wall. I'm so glad that I didn't swipe my V-card on him.

Enough of me. So, after the parade, Sora, Yolei (a junior who plays the French horn), and I went into a whole bunch of shops. We found a whole bunch of cheap, good quality jewelry. Sora got a necklace with a letter "T" on it.

Oh! I forgot to tell you. Sora and Tai are together now. For about a month now. I told Tai to just go for it. And he did. I'm so happy for the both of them.

Yolei got a charm bracelet. The charms are as follows: a dove, a heart, a music note, a letter "K" (for her crush, Ken Ichijouji), and another heart.

I got a necklace with a snowflake. It symbolizes the one thing that I love about winter; the snow.

On our way to a fast food restaurant, we bumped into TK, who was with no one (surprisingly). He looked a bit down. He had his hands in his pockets and his head was down. I told my friends that I would meet up with them later and ran over to TK.

"Hey TK, why so down," I asked him.

"Not really much of a reason for me to be. I broke up with Mimi earlier," he replied to my question. I put my hands on his shoulders in a sort of hugging position.

"Well, what happened?" I asked him this as I was trying to comfort him.

He shook off my hands and said, "I was just done putting up with her crap. Seriously. She was smothering me."

"Well, she wasn't worth your time anyway. She doesn't deserve a guy as great as you." I think this kind of touched him because he looked up and then at me.

"Thanks Kari. You know, I just realized that we don't really spend as much time together as we used to."

"That's true. So, what do you wanna do before we have to load?"

"Well, we could grab a bite to eat or go to the record store to listen to some music."

Then, we said this in unison: "Record store."

We spent a good hour there at the record store. Then, we went to an internet café and looked up our drumline show from last year. We just kept ranting about how horrible we were. We kept that up until we realized that the bus left without us. We ended up having to walk home. But it was all fine.

TK walked me all the way home. When we got there, we realized that it was too late for TK to walk home. He ended up staying overnight. My parents weren't home. They're at a business meeting and won't be back until next week. And Tai was over at a teammate's house, getting ready for a game.

Having TK over felt like the good old days. We stayed up until 5:30 in the morning watching TV, listening to music, practicing our music, and just talking.

After those hours of fun, we ended up falling asleep on each other's shoulders. I'm so glad Tai isn't home. He would've killed me if he found us like this. Even though he's like an older brother to TK. Aha.

We woke up at 10 in the morning. TK had to leave. He said bye to me and went home. That was probably the best night ever.

A/N: It's amazing that I wrote this in less than a day. I'm so glad that I finally wrote. Sorry for the lack of dialogue. I'm not exactly an advanced writer. Hey. I'm just entering high school this year. Well, now that I'm on summer break, I hope to be able to write more. However, I won't be able to get much done this next week because I have drumline practice on Monday and band camp from Tuesday through Saturday. So, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please R&R.

Kari: Shut up you author!

Me: Get back into my mind you crazy girl!
