Note: Here is the 5th chapter. Thanks for the reviews, but I want to point something out to a reviewer who criticized me on my punctuation. You said I didn't use any question marks (?), when in fact I used 19. Of course there were probably about 20 other places that could have used them, all I can say to those is that I am a lazy typist. I should probably get someone to review these for me, but I don't really know anyone because I am new at this. So, basically, please forgive me for any typing mistakes you may come across and I will try harder to pay more attention to what I am typing. Other than that thank you for your review, you have given me some things to think about. Now that, that is out of the way....on with the story.

Summer Vacation: Chapter 5
Mimi and the rest of the group had been out exploring New York for a good portion of the day and were having a great time. However, Joe was begging to whine and Matt suggested that they head back. They boarded a city bus and rode it back to where Mimi had parked her car. After a couple minutes of pleading by the rest of her friends, Mimi gave in and agreed to drive only five miles per hour above the speed limit. Mimi tried to drive slowly, but after ten minutes she grew impatient and floored the accelerator. Everybody else grabbed on to something solid and hung on for the ride. Kari would have enjoyed being so close to T.K. were it not for the fact that she was hanging on to him for dear life. After 30 minutes of near miss accidents, five run red lights and six run stop signs, the group was finally back to Mimi's house. As the group disembarked the vehicle everyone dropped to the ground and repeated Tai's ritual. Mimi stood by laughing her head off and unpacked the gifts they had bought on their trip. After everyone had regained control the headed inside to find their left behind friends. However, the group was surprised to find that they weren't there.
"That's strange," said Mimi, "Where could they have gone?"
"I have no idea," replied Matt, "Did they leave any kind of note?"
"HEY MIMI," called T.K. from upstairs, "COME LOOK AT THIS."
Mimi and Matt rushed upstairs to see what T.K. was yelling about.
"What is it T.K.?" asked Mimi after finding him in Tai's room.
"Tai left a note," answered T.K., "It says that he and Sora went to the coffee shop down the street to get a bite to eat."
"NO WAY!" exclaimed Mimi.
"Yes way," said T.K., "Read it for yourself."
Mimi quickly skimmed the note and then looked at Matt, "Well I guess this is going to be a little easier than I thought."
"It appears that way," said Matt.
"What are you two talking about?" asked T.K.
***
Tai and Sora had just ordered their meal and where seating themselves at a booth. They sat across from each other and a waitress brought them their drinks. An awkward silence past and the two stared at their hands not knowing what to say. Sora glanced up at Tai and noticed that he was staring right at her. She blushed and quickly looked back down. 'Why is he staring at me?' thought Sora, 'Come to think of it I have noticed him staring at me a lot lately, I wonder if something is wrong.' After a few more minutes Tai finally broke the unbearable silence.
"So...I wonder what Mimi and the others are doing?" asked Tai.
"Probably out enjoying themselves," sighed Sora, "I'm sorry I got sick Tai, I know you would have had a better time with them."
"It isn't your fault you got sick Sora," said Tai, "And I'm having a great time right now just spending time with you."
Tai blushed after he finished and Sora looked at him strangely.
"You are?" she asked.
"Of course I am Sora," said Tai nervously, "You're my best friend, I always enjoy spending time with you."
"Oh," said Sora a little disappointed. 'I'm just his best friend,' she thought, 'Nothing more, just his best friend.'
"Umm..I have to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back," Sora said trying not to burst into tears as she excused herself.
Tai cursed himself as she left. 'You idiot,' he thought to himself, 'Why can't you just tell her, she looked as if she was almost expecting you to say it. Ugh...you are so stupid Tai.' Tai banged his head on the table several times and sipped his drink thinking about what he was going to say to Sora.
***
Sora ran into the bathroom in tears. 'I'm only his best friend,' she thought, 'It almost seemed like he was going to say something else. He will never love me in the way that I love him. I don't know why I ever thought that he would love me, he has no reason to. I don't think that I can hide my feelings forever and I don't want to ruin our friendship. If he feel in love with someone else I don't think I could handle it. I'm so confused, why did I have to fall in love with him? Of all people why Tai?'
Millions of thoughts ran through Sora's head until she couldn't take them any more. 'I can't go out there and face him like this,' thought Sora, 'I have to get out of here.' She looked around the bathroom and spotted an open window in the top right corner. She climbed onto the top of one of the stalls and hoisted herself through the window. Once outside she began to cry again and ran off in the direction where she thought Mimi's house was.
***
'She's been in there a long time,' thought Tai, 'I hope she is okay.' Tai was beginning to get worried and was about to go into the restroom and find her when Mimi and the rest of the group walked into the shop.
"Hey Tai, where's your date?" joked Matt.
"Haha...very funny," responded Tai, "Actually she has been in the bathroom for quite a while and I am begging to worry. Could you go and check on her Mimi?"
"Sure Tai, no problem," Mimi said and walked off towards the restroom.
"I'll go to," added Kari following Mimi.
The rest of the guys looked back at Tai with mischievous smiles on their faces.
"Uh....hehe....hey guys, i..is something wrong?" Tai asked nervously.
"You are very sly man, very sly," said Matt sitting down across from Tai.
"What are you talking about?" asked Tai, totally confused.
"You offer to take care of Sora and let us go have fun, leaving you two A L O N E," said T.K. also sitting down.
"Then after she gets better, you two sneak of on a secret date," added Matt.
"What are you guys talking about," said a shocked Tai, "I offered to take care of Sora because she is my friend and I left a note about going to the coffee shop."
"Uhuh..yah sure Tai, we believe you," said Izzy (who had sat down next to Tai during Matt and T.K. comments).
"Yah, come on Tai," said Matt, "You can't hide it from us."
"Hide what?" asked Tai.
"Tai," said Matt, "We know you like Sora, so you can stop pretending that you don't."
"W..w.what are you talking about," stuttered Tai, "I don't like Sora."
Matt, T.K and Izzy facefaulted.
"Do you think we are stupid Tai," said Matt, who was slightly irritated. "You have been head over heals for her for three months. Not to mention this whole trip you two have been constantly flirting and have been all cuddly and cute with one another. You can't possibly think that we didn't notice.
Matt finished his speech and looked at Tai who was dark red.
"Well actually I thought you guys hadn't noticed," said Tai sheepishly.
Matt facefaulted again.
"TAI YOU ARE SO CLUELESS," screamed Matt.
"Sorry," whimpered Tai.
"Well now that we've got you to admit that you like her," continued Matt, "How has your date been going?"
"Date?" asked Tai confused, "Sora would never go on a date with me, she just thinks of me as a friend."
Everyone except Tai facefaulted AGAIN!
"WHAT!!" exclaimed Matt, "ARE YOU STUPID TAI?"
Just then Mimi and Kari came back from the restroom.
"Uhh..sorry to interrupt your male bonding," said Mimi, "but Sora is not in the restroom."
"Yes she is," said Tai, "I saw her go in."
"Well she isn't in there so she must have come out," replied Kari.
"That's strange," said Tai, "I haven't seen her come out."
"Maybe she went back to your house Mimi," suggested Kari.
"Uhh, maybe," said Mimi, "but why would she leave without telling us?"
"Did you say something to her Tai?" questioned Kari glaring at Tai.
"No!" answered Tai, "We where just talking and she said she had to go to the restroom. Come to think of it, she did look a little upset when she went though."
"What were you talking about?" asked Mimi.
"Uhh..I think she had said something like...um...that she was sorry that she was sick and that I didn't get to go with you guys," replied Tai.
"And what did you say?" said Kari.
"Umm..I think I said that something like..um..it wan't her fault and that I enjoyed spending time with her," said Tai.
"OOO that's so sweet," said Mimi. "What did she say?"
"Uh..," said Tai a little confused, "I think she asked why."
"And what did you say back?" asked Mimi barely able to wait for his answer.
"Um..I think I said...that is was no problem and we were best friends and I enjoyed spending time with her," answered Tai.
Everyone besides Mimi and Tai facefaulted (*I'll bet Matt, Izzy and T.K.'s heads are getting sore...LOL*). Mimi just gave Tai a blank look and then burst into a serious of four letter words that were not meant to come out a sweet girl's mouth. She abruptly turned and ran back home to find Sora. Kari shot Tai a glare and then followed after Mimi. Poor Tai was so confused. He didn't understand what was happening.
"What was that all about?" asked Tai turning back and expecting to find his male friend wearing the same confused expression he was wearing, but they were not. Matt, Izzy and T.K. looked as if they were about to jump over the table and strangle Tai.
"Uhh..guys...um..I don't think that attitude is good for your blood pressure," Tai joked trying to relieve some tension. Lets just say he didn't succeed.
"TAI YOU BAKA!!" began Matt, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!"
"Yikes, calm down Matt," said Tai. "What are you talking about?"
Matt slapped himself in the face and mumbled, "He's and idiot, a complete and total idiot," before passing out from the shock of Tai's cluelessness.
"Good heavens Tai," said Izzy. "You're going to kill him."
Tai was still confused.
"Let's get Matt home," suggested T.K. "We can continue this discussion there, hopefully with the help of the girls."
Tai and Izzy agreed and help T.K. carry Matt back to Mimi's.
______________________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: I know, I know. Way to short, but I don't didn't think this chapter could take anymore of Tai's stupidity. I almost passed out writing it, ugh I think I may have made him too dumb. O well, I'll live, I just hope it wasn't too much for you readers. I am tempted to put this section under humor, but I guess I should just leave the rating because it goes with the series. Stay tuned for more stupidity from Tai in the next chapter as he faces the girls (Mimi and Kari). I think this series is begging to wind down and I hope to finish it up within 2-4 chapters. I have a pretty good idea what I am going to do with Tai and Sora, but I can't just leave the relationship between Matt and Mimi hanging (actually I probably could, but I don't really want to) so give me some ideas if you want to. Thanks for reading and don't forget to review. Bye for now.
