Chapter 6: This time around

"Tai! I'm ready to go!!!" Jennie called, running down the stairs of her mansion in Odaiba.

Tai stood at the foot of the stairs, wearing an orange abercrombie shirt and khaki abercrombie shorts. He gazed as she came towards him, she looked amazing. Her straight golden brown hair was down, falling in layers to just below her shoulders. She was wearing a low cut V neck pink tank top that had strings at the shoulders and white capri's with pink flip flops. Her makeup consisted of black eyeliner, black mascara, shimmery pink eyeshadow, glitter and shimmery lipgloss. She smiled at him and he melted, he would get his chance tonight.

Meanwhile, Dianna stood on her front porch, waiting for Spencer, her latest boyfriend/victim and fellow cheerleader. She had scrunched her normally straight golden blonde hair into curls and had decorated it with little silver velcro stars. She was wearing a light blue tube top and white shorts with 2 inch blue flip flops.

"Where is he?..." she thought.

Soon, he pulled up in his red seabring convertible.

"Hey Spencer." she said with a smile.

"Hey Di, what's up?" he replied, giving her a hug.

"Nothing much, so, are we going or what?" she answered.

He nodded and she got in the car.

Jun was in her room with Davis, who was angry that she was making him help her decide if she looked okay.

"This is what Mimi said I should wear, she's a cheerleader too, so she knows these things..." she explained, coming out of the closet. *No joke intended...throws shoe at snickering readers*

"Jun...Why are you wearing your cheerleading uniform?" Davis asked.

"Um, Di and Mimi said that Matt would like it better if I was dressed like a cheerleader..." she replied.

"You've been wearing that outfit for two days...EVERYWHERE you go. And people on your squad have seen you; they laugh everytime they see you anywhere wearing that....Don't you care?" he explained.

"But cheerleaders are supposed to wear their uniforms. It's a form of spirit." she replied.

"Jun, NORMAL cheerleaders only wear their uniforms at competitions; or at games; and on spirit days. Your entire squad thinks you're a loser." He answered.

"I'm...a loser???" she stuttered.

"Um..you just now figured that out? I thought Di and Mimi made it crystal clear for you at that sleepover..." he replied, hitting her with reality.

"Well...I'll show them!!!" she yelled, digging more furiously through her clothes.

She pulled out a pair of silver flares and a black sparkly tank top. She put on black flip flops and decided to try a NORMAL hair style for once. She pulled and gelled and sprayed until her hair was down and straight. She put on a little make up. All she had was clear lipgloss and glitter, considering that she wasn't allowed to wear anything else. The doorbell rang as she was looking in the mirror. It was Matt. Davis answered the door.

"Hey man. Is Jun here?" he asked.

"Yeah, she's almost ready, hang on." Davis answered. She walked into the living room, looking half decent in Matt's eyes....half.

He smiled slightly and beckoned to her that they were late. She nodded and followed, taking his arm. He looked down at this and decided to let her; she really didn't look that bad and she wasn't being annoying...yet.

The first to arrive at the ampitheatre were Dianna and Spencer. Next were Matt and Jun, and following them were Jennie and Tai. They walked in, as planned, then took their seats.

Halfway through the concert, Di asked Tai to go with her to the concession stands to get a drink. He agreed and followed.

"Tai, you do remember what I told you...RIGHT?" she reminded.

"Yeah, but what am I supposed to do? Matt is watching her like a hawk..." He replied.

"Oh please, I can get Matt off of her shoulders. Just tell her you need to talk to her and then when she hugs you, start kissing right around her ear/neck. If she lets you, you know she's willing to cheat on Matt, or better yet, leave him for you."

He nodded and stood in line to pay for the drinks.

"But what if she doesn't melt into it?" he asked.

"She will. I know her. She'll do anything for play when she isn't getting any, and Matt certainly isn't giving any..." Di replied nonchalantly.

He smiled and started to walk back to his seat.

"Hey Jenn?" he asked 5 minutes later.

"Yeah?" she asked. "I need to talk to you. *turned to Matt* Hey Matt, is it okay if I borrow Jenn for a second? It's about Sora."

Matt nodded, wondering why he'd want to talk about Sora, since he knew about what Dianna did to make Sora dissappear from the clique that she once helped run.

Jennie got up and followed Tai to a dark area behind the buildings.

"Now Taichi, I know you too well. Explain to me exactly WHY in you right mind would you WANT to talk to ME of all people about HER?" Jennie asked, sensing that it wasn't about Sora.

"Well...You see..." He began.

"Go on..." she urged.

"That's the point...it's not her...it's you." he spat.

"Me? Oh come on Tai, What do I have to do with anything?" she asked innocently, a naughty little smile playing on her lips.

"You have alot to do with me. We were always together, best friends. Then when I..." He murmured.

"You what?" she asked.

"I fell for you Jennifer. I wanted to kiss you and do the things we used to. Then you went for Matt. And it all went downhill. I wanted all of that so bad and.." he was cut off by Jennie, who kissed him.

"What..why...why did you do that?" He asked.

"Oh come on, did we really stop being friends with benefits?" she asked teasingly.

"Um....." he replied, confused.

"Think Tai, WHY would I be with Matt?" she replied.

"Um, uh...girls think he's hot and are all over him, and you being his girlfriend would make you the most envied of all girls." he answered quickly.

"It was fun, for a while. And then I realized that he wasn't for me. I need someone who is ready and WILLING to have some fun. Like WE used to...remember?" she replied.

"I can have fun." he responded, running a finger up her spine.

"I know you can, remember when your car got stuck on the beach?" she whispered, bringing his index finger to her lips, sucking on the tip gently, stopping to speak every once in a while. "Wasn't that amazing Tai? How I showed you all of the things that you know now? How would you like dating a varsity cheerleader? Who's got experience. Forget about Sora and I'll show you a good time, just like old times."

He nodded asking, "Wanna come to my place?"

She smiled and replied, "To bring back old memories? Definently."

They left the concert and reached Tai's apartment. Where they went straight for his bedroom. He pinned her on the bed and started to kiss her neck and move a hand up her shirt.

"Tai..." she murmured.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"Well, I have a little confession." she began. "I'm still a virgin."

"Not for long." he replied with a grin.

She nodded and kissed him, one up on Di was always a good thing, even though Di wasn't a virgin.

"Dianna?" Matt asked as they were leaving the concert. "Where did Jenn and Tai go?"

Di smiled innocently, "They had a little emergency that they had to take care of...they're probably at home sleeping by now...Why don't you go check up on her?"

"Nah..." Matt replied with a smile. "I'll let her get some sleep. She's been so busy with cheerleading lately, I think she deserves it."

"That she does..." Di trailed, smiling devilishly.

Spencer looked at her and grinned. The plan was going perfectly. As they walked down some stairs that led out of the ampitheatre, Di bumped hard into Jun and she fell down, landing on her left shoulder with a loud crack. Di pretended to freak out, dragging Jun over to the first aid station.

"Oh Jun!" she cried. "I hope you're okay! Oh, have you met Jim?"

She pulled her over to his table.

"Hi Jim, this is Jun. She's hurt...fix her." she commanded.

Jun gazed at him as he checked out the arm that she landed on.

"He's GORGEOUS!" Jun shreiked. "FORGET MATT!!!!"

She smiled at him as he injected the sedative.

"Hi Jim." she replied seductively. He smiled at her.

"I have to pop your shoulder back into place, You'll feel fine in a second." he told her.

"Oh Jim...I feel fine already..." Jun ventured. Jim feared for his life.



Meanwhile, Tai had collapsed onto Jennie's side. He was exhausted.

"Jenn, are you okay?" he asked, noticing Jennie's look of pain.

"What do you think, I was a virgin." she replied.

"Were." he giggled.

She smiled and kissed him.

"You'd better find a place to hide me, because I can't walk."

"My parents are gone for the week." Tai replied. "They'll be back next wednesday."

"Ohhhhh, so we can spend more time together." she sighed. "Because mine are on a trip in hawaii. They won't be back for a few weeks..."

He eyed her, smiling. "Mmmmmmhmmmmm...." he moaned, kissing her and resting his head on her shoulder
