A/N. Okay, here's the last chapter. Hope you enjoy it.
Matt looked on in amazement as his friends stood their ground against his father. They
were protecting him. He watched in horror as his father started to advance on them.
Izzy, who was in front of the girls, readied himself in case Matt's father attacked.
Then the sound of sirens was heard and Mr. Ishida turned and ran. Izzy immediately
took chase and when he was within a few feet he jumped at him, sending them both
sprawling to the ground. A second later, a police car pulled up which was followed
moments later by an ambulance. The police went over to where Izzy and Matt's dad were
and helped Izzy to his feet. They then turned to Mr. Ishida, handcuffed him, and put
him in the back of the squad car. One of the police men walked over to the rest of the
group to ask them some questions. the paramedics were already taking care of Tai. He
was just coming around. Matt got up from where he was sitting on the ground and ran over
to him.
"Are you ok, Tai?"
Tai looked up and smiled. "Besides the terrible pounding in my head, I'm just fine. How
about you? Are you ok? He didn't hurt you, did he?"
"No. He took off when he heard the sirens. Izzy tackled him."
Tai looked at him in amazement. "Izzy did that? Wow. Way to go Izzy."
"Yeah. Hey Tai, I'm sorry man."
"For what Matt?"
"For making you face him. I was just so scared. I couldn't seem to move. If it wasn't
for me, you wouldn't have been hurt."
"Don't worry about it Matt. It wasn't your fault. And besides. You'd do the same for
me." Tai placed a reassuring hand on Matt's shoulder. "Come on. Let's get you home."
Matt nodded. "Ok Tai. But, I'm taking you home. You should probably lay down, anyway."
"Come on Matt, I'm not a little kid." One look at Matt's face and he changed his mind.
"Ok, Ok. You can take me home."
"Good. Let's go. Hey guys, I'm taking Tai home," he called to the others. They ran over
and stopped in front of him and Tai.
"Ok Matt," said Sora. "Listen, Me and Mimi have to get home, but we'll see you tomorrow,
ok?"
"Ok guys. See ya tomorrow," Matt said to the two retreating girls. He then turned to
Izzy.
"Aren't you going home too Izzy?"
"Not yet. I'm gonna go with you to take Tai home and then I'm gonna walk you home."
"You don't have to Izzy."
"I know I don't have to, but I want to. Now let's get moving."
With that said, the three boys headed over to the Kamiya residence. Upon arrival, Tai's
mother got all worked up and only calmed down when she was told that Tai had just
bumped his head. With that said, she gave Tai two aspirin and bustled him off to bed.
After delivering Tai safely to his house, the two remaining boys left and walked toward
Matt's home.
"Matt, are you ok?" asked Izzy, a little concerned over his friends quietness.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking, that's all."
"Oh, about what?" he asked curiously.
"About how lucky I am to have friends like you. Thanks Izzy."
"For what?"
"For being such a good friend, and for tackling my dad. You should try out for the
football."
"I don't think I'm ready for football. Besides, I don't think I could do that again,"
he said with a laugh.
"Maybe so. Hey Izzy. Why don't you spend the night at my house?"
"Sure, I'll just have to call my mom and let her know where I am."
The two boys climbed the steps to the Takaishi residence and went inside.
"Mom, I'm home," called Matt. "And Izzy's gonna spend the night, if that's all right
with you?"
"Sure hunny," she said as she walked into the living room. She froze and stared at Matt.
"Hunny, what happened to your face?"
"HUh," he said, a little confused.
"Your cheek is all bruised. What happened?"
"Oh, that. Well, have a seat mom and I'll tell you.
She sat down as the blonde recalled all the events of that night. At the part about
Izzy's tackle, Mrs. Takaishi smiled and thanked Izzy for doing such a brave thing. This,
in turn, caused Izzy to turn a nice shade of red. Matt finished his story and turned
to his mother.
"Well, that's what happened mom."
"You're very lucky to have such good friends hunny. And I'm glad you're all safe. Now
you two should probably get some sleep."
"Ok mom. GOodnight."
He and Izzy headed back to his room. Once inside, Matt pulled the cot out of his
closet so that Izzy wouldn't have to sleep on the floor. They climbed into their beds,
and Matt turned to his friend.
"Goodnight Izzy."
"Goodnight Matt," came the tired reply.
"THanks again for tonight." 'And thank you God for giving me such good friends.

A/N. I know. This probably sucked. But I can't know unless you tell me. Please
