It was Monday and Kori awoke to a bright sunny day. She looked at her alarm clock and thought it would be best to get ready for school. Browsing through her closet she found her outfit for today. She chose a light purple shirt with a matching skirt and a pair of white ankle high boots. Grabbing her book bag she began to fill up on things needed for school. The last thing she packed up was her cell phone.

Over twenty messages were left from Dick and Xavier. After the events that occurred Friday, Kori didn't speak to either one them. She ignored their calls, e-mails and when they stopped by she slammed the door in their face. And if it wasn't Kori, it was Raven who locked them out. She had been able to avoid them for the whole weekend but school was a different story. Kori didn't worry though, she had the others to back her up.

Heading down the stairs, Kori saw her parents at the kitchen table. Her father was reading the paper while drinking a cup of coffee and her mother had a big stack of pancakes in front of her. Luan had been released from the hospital after a double check with the doctor. Her and the baby were both fine and as it turns out Luan was already a month pregnant.

"Good morning, mom," Kori said, giving her mother a gentle hug. "Morning, father."

"Hello, Kori," Myan said, putting down his newspaper. "Do you and Raven need a ride to school?"

"No," Kori said while looking in the refrigerator. "Vic has said he will be taking us to school."

Just then Raven came down stairs. She had on a black shirt with a matching black belt and choker. She also had on ankle high black boots and navy blue jeans.

"Morning, Raven."

"Morning," Raven said through a yawn. "Hey. Is Vic here yet?"

It was then that they heard shouting from outside. The voices seemed to belong to Komi and Vic. Kori and Raven rushed outside. It was in fact Vic and Komi yelling. Karen and Gar stood at the side, not even trying to stop them.

"What's going on?" yelled Kori.

"Your sister says her car is better then mines." said Vic.

"Gorilla boy just can't handle the truth." Komi said, walking over to her car.

Gar tried not to laugh at Komi's comment on Vic.

"Vic, let it go," Raven said, pushing Vic back to his car. "Were gonna be late."

"But--"

"Now."

Vic grumbled and got behind the wheel of his car. Once everyone was seated with their seat-belts on, he drove off. That's when Karen's phone went off. She flipped it open.

"Hello...Oh, for the love of," Karen groaned and turned her head to look at Kori. "It's Dick."

Kori looked away and crossed her arms. "Tell him I'm not here."

"Kori's not...," Karen looked back to Kori. "He heard your voice."

"Let me handle this," said Gar, taking Karen's phone. "Hey, Dick...you wanna talk to Kori...Okay, but you have to do something first."

"Gar!" yelled Kori but he held up his hand to quiet her down.

"I want you to sing Girls just wanna have fun...Do it and I'll put Kori on the phone."

Dick agreed to the terms and Gar told every one in the car to be quiet. He put Dick on speaker so every one could hear him sing. Then Gar took out his phone and recorded Dick's singing. Once the song was over Gar put the phone back to his ear.

"Nice singing, Dick...Oh, right. You wanna talk to Kori...Sorry, can't be done." Gar then shut the phone off leaving a very grumpy Dick on the other side.

The car was filled with laughs and Gar gave the phone back to Karen.

"Nice work, Gar, congratulated Vic. "That was way funny."

"Dude, I know. It's gonna be even funnier once I play this in front of the entire school."

"Wow...that's very evil of you, Gar," Raven said. "I think I like this side of you."

"Really," said Gar, wiggling his eyebrows. "What else do you like about me?"

Raven sighed and slapped his head.

A few minutes. A few minutes was all she had to get her books and get her books and get to her first period class. She quickly made it to her locker and grabbed her books. Achieving that task, she closed her locker door and began to walk. That's when a familiar voice called out to her.

"Kori," Dick called out to her and sped up to her side. "Would you wait up. I've been trying to talk to you ya'know."

"I know," Kori said as she moved past him. "I don't want to talk to you."

He managed to move in front of her and block her path. "Is this because of what Xavier said?"

This caught her attention and she finally looked up at him.

"Listen, Kori. What he said isn't true. I never slept with any one."

"You think that's why I'm mad," Kori said, giving him a cold stare. "I don't care about what you both said to each other because as far as I'm concerned your both liars."

She moved past him again.

"Kori, would you just talk to me please."

Kori turned to look at him, a look of sadness on her face. "There's nothing to talk about."

With that said she walked off to class.

---

After dealing with Mr.Mod, Kori had art and english class. She know found herself in science class. This was a class she really wasn't looking forward to due to the fact that she only had Xavier in this class. No Raven with her attitude, or Vic with his threatening glare. She would have to face Xavier by herself. Kori walked into class and sure enough, Xavier was there. It didn't help that she had to sit next to him. With a sigh she took her seat. Xavier took this as his chance to talk to her.

"Hey, cutie--"

"Don't call me that."

"Ugh, okay...Kori, how you been?"

"That's none of your concern."

"Come on, cutie--"

"Kori."

"...Kori. Will you talk to me please. I'm really sorry about what happened."

Kori raised her hand to catch the teachers attention.

"Hey, Kori." said Mr.Chang.

"Can I sit by the window please. I'm not feeling well."

"Of course. Kitten, change places with Kori for today."

Kitten gave up her seat with out much of a fight which was a surprise to Kori. Xavier watched her move to the back and sighed. He had to fix this.

---

By lunch time the girls had separated from the boys, saying they needed to have a girl talk. This was fine with the boys, seeing as they wanted some guy time. The boys came over with their lunch and sat down by Dick.

"Hey, Dick," said Wally. "We heard about what happened."

"Boy, did you fuck up." Roy said.

"Gee, thanks." Dick said sarcastically.

"Don't mind him," Alain said. "So, how are you doing?"

"My best friend wants nothing to do with me. How do you think I'm doing?"

"Gee, Dick. Pull the stick out of your ass." Gar said, taking a bite out of his tofu burger.

Dick glared at him.

"Dick, were sorry, ya'know," Vic began. "About not letting you speak to Kori but we had to respect her wishes."

"Yeah, something you should have done." said Roy.

"Just give her some time," Alain said. "I'm sure she'll come around."

"Yeah, besides," said Wally. "She's Kori. How long can she hold a grudge."

---

"I am not forgiving him. EVER."

The girls had been pleading with Kori to forgive Dick, but to no avail. Kori refused to speak with him. They couldn't blame her, Dick deserved the silent treatment. But still, they didn't want this to go.

"Come on, Kori," pleaded Jade. "Give him another chance."

"Yeah. I'm sure he's really sorry." Jenn said.

"He didn't even know why I was mad."

"And I thought Gar was stupid." Raven mumbled.

"Kori, he's a guy," Karen said. "He's bound to make mistakes. You don't really want your friendship to end, do you?"

Kori said nothing. She instead looked down. Deep down inside, she wanted to forgive Dick, but she just didn't know any more. That's when a friend of Xavier's showed up.

"Hey, uh...Miss Kori," Seemore began, getting the red head's attention. "Do you remember me?"

Kori looked up at him. She wasn't in the mood but she gave him a smile any way. "Yes, your in my science class right?"

"Yeah. Xavier asked me to give these to you." Seemore held out a dozen red roses.

Kori looked at the roses. "Tell Xavier thanks, but no thanks."

"But...but..."

"I'm sorry, Seemore, but I have to go."

Kori picked up her tray and walked away.

---

After a long day of school Kori was glad to be home. Every one was doing their own thing, Komi was in her room talking to Donna, Raven was in her room reading and Myan was in his room setting up for his trip to New York. Kori felt a grumble in her stomach and figured it was time for a snack. She slipped on her slippers and walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. She was surprised to see her mother there.

"Mom? What are you doing here?"

"Oh. Hello, Kori," Luan said, placing a plate of chocolate cookies on the table. "Your father was keeping me up so I decided to come downstairs and have a snack. Would you like to join me?"

"Of course."

Kori grabbed two glasses and placed them on the table. She then went to the refrigerator and took out the milk, filling up both glasses with the dairy product. Kori sat down besides her mother and grabbed a cookie. She smiled to herself as her taste buds kicked in.

"So, how do they taste? I made them myself." Luan said with a smile.

"They taste great, mom." Kori said as she reached for another one.

"I remember when you were younger you and Dick would always eat cookies together."

Kori said nothing and took a drink of her milk.

"He's been calling her a lot, Kori. Xavier too."

"They could call all they want. I'm not talking to them."

"How come, Kori?"

"Their idiots who ruined dinner and got you frustrated enough to go to the hospital."

"...Well...I'm fine now so go talk to them."

"It's not that easy, mom," Kori said as she looked down. "I am so sick of them fighting all the time. And then Dick has a new girlfriend every month and Xavier...I just don't understand him sometimes."

"Did you ever think that maybe they fight over you because they both have feelings for you."

"It doesn't matter any more. I'm not talking to them.

"Is that really what you want?"

"Um...I'm...not sure."

"I think they deserve another chance. Imagine what things would be like if I never forgiven your father for all his stupid mistakes."

Kori couldn't help but to laugh. Her mother always seemed to be able to give her good advice. Plus that and she made her laugh. Maybe she was right. Maybe Dick and Xavier did deserve another chance.

---

It was Tuesday and two boys waited in the pizza parlor. Dick and Xavier sat across from each other, this time they weren't glaring.

"So...Kori's talking to you now?" Xavier asked, casting a short glance at Dick.

"No. She just asked me to meet her here," answered Dick. "She talkin' to you?"

Xavier shook his head. "She just said to meet her here."

Their was a silence.

"Listen," Xavier said, staring Dick in the eye. "I don't want to loose Kori."

"Neither do I."

"Well I'm thinking you need to back off."

"Funny. I was thinking you need to back off."

Their was silence again. The door opened revealing the beautiful red head the boys were waiting for. Kori saw them and walked up to their table. Had this been a different situation Kori would have been nervous, but not this time. Vic and the others had offered to back her up, but she declined. She needed to do this on her own. She finally made it to their table and sat down.

"I'm glad you both could make it."

They nodded their heads.

"I guess your wondering why I called you here...again," Kori sighed deeply. "I've decided that...I can't live my life with out the both of you in it."

"So, your forgiving us?" asked Dick.

"Yes, but under some conditions."

"What ever it is we'll do it." Xavier said.

"I want you to stop fighting with each other. I'm tired of it. Your both important to me and I don't wanna loose you...but I don't want to choose between you either. I can't...and I won't," Kori stood up from her seat. "I'm leaving the decision to the both of you. I'm not asking you to be best friends, I'm asking you to act civilized with each other."

Kori gave them each a small hug and walked out the door. The two boys both looked at her as she left and then at each other. They had a lot to talk about.

---

It was Wednesday in Jump City. The bright sky above let flyers know it was safe for take off. After a short vacation it was time for Myan and Luan to get back to work. Well, most of the work would be done by Myan seeing as how Luan was pregnant. The two of them were heading off to New York. The airport was full of goodbyes being held between the leaving couple and their children.

Raven wrapped her arms around Luan in a gentle hug. "It's been a blast, Luan," she broke the hug to shake Myan's hand. "I can't thank you enough for every thing you two have done for me."

"It's no problem at all, Raven," Myan said. "Your family now. Remember that."

"I will."

Komi was next to say goodbye and shook her father's hand. "Have fun in New York. And thanks again for the car."

"You just better keep your part of the deal."

Komi nodded and wrapped her mother in a hug. "I'm gonna miss you, mom."

"I'll miss you too. Be good and watch after things, okay."

As soon as Komi backed away, Kori wrapped her mother in a hug. "I'm going to miss you so much, mom," Kori said. "Thank you for all your help."

Luan stroked her daughter's hair. "No problem at all, sweetie. Any time."

Kori broke the hug and smiled at her mother. She then turned to her father and shook his hand. "I wish you well in New York, father. I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you to, Kori," Myan said, breaking the hang shake and hugging his daughter. "Do me a favor and be careful around those boys."

Kori giggled. "Yes, father."

"When can we expect you back?" Raven asked.

"I'm not sure," Myan said. "These business trips take time."

"Well, as long as you take care of mom and our baby sister, things should be just fine." Kori said, a smile on her face.

"Hey," Myan protested. "Who said it was a girl? It's a boy."

"You keep telling yourself that big guy." Komi said with a laugh.

"As long as the baby is healthy I'll be happy with what ever it is." Luan said with a smile and placing a hand over her stomach.

The others nodded in agreement before they started to argue about which gender the baby was again.

---

After saying a full goodbye to Myan and Luan, the girls went home. Shortly after arriving home Kori received a call from Dick, telling her to meet him in the park. She figured this had to do with their talk from the other day so she wasted no time getting there. Moments later Kori arrived at the park. Their was a breeze that rushed past her and tangled her hair in the wind. She crossed her arms over her chest and stood in the middle of the path in the park. Her eyes locked with not one, but two, dark haired boys. Dick and Xavier. For awhile no one said anything before Kori began to speak.

"Did you guys decided yet?"

"We have." answered Xavier.

"And we decided your to important to us," said Dick. "So we called a truce."

Kori sighed and allowed the wind to rush past her. She looked up at both boys and smiled. "So...any one want to see a movie?"

The boys looked at each other, then at her. They were surprised that something so serious could just be over like that. Then again, they weren't complaining.

"A movie sounds great," Xavier said, a grin on his face. "Cutie."

"You know," Kori said as she grabbed Xavier's hand and held it in her own. "I missed you calling me that."

She turned her head to look at Dick and smiled, she wrapped her hand in his as well. Dick smiled at her.

"And I've missed your smile."

"Same here, Kori." Dick said, finally able to enjoy himself now that he had his best friend back.
