Disclaimer: Why, oh, why have people made up this kind of torture? I don't own digimon.
LTW: Do people ever get tired of saying that?
Biyomon: I don't know, but I've gotten tired of reading it!
Li: People don't get tired of it if they don't wanna get sued.
WTL: True, anyway this is the bachelor party and the boys don't quite expect T.K.'s surprise. And yes I know I put Miyako in the other part, but I meant Yolei.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Secret meeting…
"Come on in guys, you too T.K." (Kari)
"Are you sure Kari?" (T.K.)
"SHHH!!!! Hurry up, and just come in it's only an hour until your bachelor party, and we need to be sure of the plan." (Kari)
"This is going to be so fun!" (Mimi)
"Definitely, thanks for inviting me to help!" (Amy)
"No problem! Besides we all know that you have a HUGE crush on Joe." (Sora)
"How'd you know? I mean-" (Amy)
"Smooth move, don't worry about it! Girls intuition!" (Miyako)
Amy just blushed even redder, and toyed with the end of her long braid. Amy had met Joe in college and they had kept in touch with each other over the years, and Amy had fallen head-over-heels in love with Joe.
"Um… could we hurry this up?" T.K. had started getting really uncomfortable as he listened to them confess their girlish fantasies.
"Oh. Right." Kari turned and faced the eight girls, and one boy and eyed them all carefully. "Now. We are all going to dress up like those Arabian Princesses with those kerchiefs over the lower half of our faces. Then we'll put these color contacts on, and temporarily die our hair, or streak it or just do something crazy to it. We have to make sure that the boys won't recognize us."
"Good, then I'll get them to play a simple game of Truth or Dare." (T.K.)
All the girls nodded, and then shoed T.K. out of the room. Then they looked at each other, and Mimi ran to T.K.'s stereo, and turned it on full blast. Then they all started to talk, gossip, and giggle as they started to get ready for the party.
The bachelor party, 7:00,
"Thanks for coming you guys!" (T.K.)
"No problem!" (Matt)
"Wouldn't miss this for the world!" (Izzy)
"One of the things I'm not allergic too!" (Joe)
"Always wanted to see how one is!" (Cody)
"Had to come!" (Michael)
"Where's the surprise?" (Davis)
"No girls!" (Tai)
"Right!" (Everyone)
"Wrong!" (T.K.)
"What?" (everyone)
"Here's the surprise!" (T.K.)
Everyone's jaw dropped as eight girls danced into the room, dressed in Arabian type outfits. The one is light pink headed toward T.K. she had short brown hair, lightly streaked with yellow, and her eyes were amber, but you couldn't see anymore of her face because all the girls had cloth around the bottom half of their faces. Then a girl in pale green headed to Matt and started to massage him. She had long black hair highlighted with pink, and dark green eyes. Tai's girl had curly chestnut hair, and blue eyes, and she started to play with his hair. Izzy had a girl with long yellow hair with streaks of light purple, and she had brown eyes. Joe got a girl with long whitish red hair, and light purple eyes.
Davis's girl had short frizzy red hair, and teal eyes, while Michael's had long blue hair streaked with white, and orange eyes, while Cody had a girl with shoulder length purple hair, and grey eyes. The girls quickly got the guys relaxed, and danced for them, then T.K. said, "Why don't we play a game of Truth or Dare?"
"Cool!" (Matt)
"Prodigious!" (Izzy)
"Okay." (Cody)
"When are we going to start?" (Joe)
"I repeat, good thing the girl's aren't here!" (Tai)
As Tai said that the girls started to giggle. T.K. quickly got some sodas, and handed them to the guys. Waiting until he was sure that they had gotten a BIG sugar rush he started.
"Let's see, who will my first victim be?" T.K. pretended to be glancing at the boys, but he was really watching the girls for any signs. He noticed that they were nonchalantly nodding towards Izzy, so he said, "Izzy, Truth or Dare?"
"Truth!" (Izzy)
T.K. pretended to think, but he was just waiting for signs from Yolei. He saw that she was slowly and languidly motioning from him to her, so he said, "Izzy, what do you think about Yolei?"
"Well, I like her." (Izzy)
"What do you mean by like, hm?" (Joe)
"Yeah Izzy what do you mean by like?" (Matt)
"'Fess up!" (Tai)
Izzy started to look worried, and all the girls were watching him intently. "Well I like-like her, but I don't like-like her. You know! And I don't LIKE-like her, but she's on her way to being LIKE-liked, but right now she's at the stage of like-like, but not like-like, although she might be at like-like. Hmm. I'd have to say that I like-like her."
Everyone including the girls were sweatdropping, even Yolei who was used to it. Finally Davis broke the silence, "So does this mean you like her?"
":sigh: Yes." (Izzy)
T.K. saw that Yolei was now in a state of bliss, but Izzy interrupted his thoughts.
"Joe Truth or Dare?" (Izzy)
"Truth." (Joe)
"Who do you like?" (Izzy)
"Mph." (Joe)
"I couldn't quite hear you, Joe." (Tai)
"Speak up!" (Matt)
"Come on it's not like anyone's going to laugh at you!" (T.K.)
"Fine, Amy." (Joe)
"Oh! You go boy!" (Tai)
"Funny, Cody your turn." (Joe)
"Truth." (Cody)
"When was your first kiss, and I mean REAL kiss?" (Joe)
Cody started to turn red, and all the boys started to laugh.
"My first kiss was four years ago, with Liz. We were strolling in the park and well, yeah." (Cody)
"Oooohh, aren't we experienced?" (Michael)
"Yeah, a person would wonder just HOW experienced!" (Izzy) T.K. noticed that Liz who was right behind Cody had now turned a bright red color.
"Michael, Truth or Dare?" (Cody)
"Um, Dare." (Michael)
"I dare you to sing the song, Barbie Girl!" (Cody)
"WHAT!!!?" (Michael)
"Better warm up your vocal cords!" (Davis)
"Yeah, Matt you have competition!" (Tai)
"SHUT UP!" (Michael)
Michael started to sing and soon the whole room was in fits of laughter. The boys were rolling around on the floor while the girls were turning red in the face. Finally Michael finished and the boys continued to laugh.
"Oh! Oh! Michael! You're such a good Barbie Girl!" (Izzy)
"Didn't know you liked pink!" (Joe)
"I didn't know your hair was long enough to brush!" (Matt)
Finally the room calmed down and Michael continued the game, " Matt, Truth or Dare?"
"Truth." (Matt)
"If there was a song you could sing to the girl you liked the most, what song would it be?" (Michael)
"For the Girl Who Has Everything." (Matt)
"Hmm, why that song?" (Joe)
"Yeah, Matt why that song?" (Davis)
"Well, it must mean the girl is rich." (T.K.)
"Hmm." (Tai)
"It's Mimi!" (Michael)
"Yeah, it's Mimi." (Cody)
"Hey that makes sense!" (Izzy)
"Matt are we right?" (Joe)
By now Matt was blushing bright red, so it didn't really matter what he said, and they all knew that they had guessed right. Mimi had now joined Amy and Yolei in bliss, but now Matt asked Davis, "Truth or Dare."
"Dare, of course." (Davis)
Matt started to think. First he looked at the girls then Davis, then stared yet again, Davis was growing nervous when Matt started to smile evily.
"Davis I dare you to dance to "I'm Too Sexy for my Shirt" in front of the girls!" (Matt)
"WHAT?!" (Davis)
"WHAT?!" (T.K.)
"WHAT?!" (The girls)
"Um, okay." (Davis)
"NO! I mean, um…! You can't!" (T.K.)
"Why not? It is a bachelor party and it's not like the girls are here!" (Tai)
"Um, well you see-, um, um." (T.K.)
"Come off it! It's a dare and Davis has to do it!" (Matt)
T.K. sighed as Davis started. Davis had just started to dance when the door to T.K.'s apartment crashed open, and a tall red haired man stalked in. He headed straight toward the girl next to Tai and jerked her up. "SORA TAKENOUCHI WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"Sora?" (Everybody)
"That's not Sora!" (Tai)
"Oh yeah!?" The man ripped off the mask, and forced the girl to take off her contacts. Everyone gasped.
"Uh, SURPRISE!" (T.K.)
All the boys jaws dropped as the girls all took off their disguises.
"T.K.!!!" (All the boys)
"What do you want with me?" (Sora)
"Don't you remember me? I'm your father!"
"WHAT!" (Everybody)
"That's right Sora, now what is this I hear about you getting married?"
"But dad-"
"Don't but dad me! What do you call this?"
"A bachelor party!" (Sora)
"That's even worse! How can you even think about that line of work! It's disgusting!" (Dad)
"I'm not a stripper! I was doing my friend a favor!" (Sora)
"Yeah right! I saw the way you were acting around that man with the brown hair!" (Dad)
"You mean Tai? He's my best-friend!" (Sora)
"Hah! How could you know a famous soccer player?!" With that the man launched himself on Tai and started to hit Tai.
"TAI!" (Everyone)
"THAT'S IT! T.K. do you have my spare chain?" (Sora)
"The one you let me borrow?" (T.K.)
"Yeah. Now go GET IT!" (Sora)
T.K. quickly ran and got it and threw it to Sora, by now Tai had wounds all over his body, and he was bleeding from a cut on his arm. She quickly caught it and whipped it around her dad's waist, and jerked him off Tai. Kari quickly saw what she was doing and ran to get her staff. When she got back she stood next to Sora in position ready to defend any of the boys if they needed.
"Get out of here Dad." (Sora)
"We're both skilled in self-defense, don't make us use it." (Kari)
"Hah! So am I!" With that Sora's dad launched himself yet again at Tai, but Kari jumped out and blocked the man with her staff, then jabbing him in the stomach. He got up again, but this time Sora swung him up and around with her chain and slammed him on the floor. When he got up yet again Kari knocked him in the head, and chest, while Sora yelled, "T.K.! Get the window open!"
T.K. quickly thrust open the window, and Kari knocked the man onto the floor. When he got back up Sora thrust her chain around his waist and flung him out the window into the swimming pool. T.K. closed the window and Sora rushed to Tai's side. He was lying on the floor unconscious. Matt quickly picked him up and everybody scrambled into Kari, Sora, and Michael's cars. Michael, Cody, Davis, Yolei, and all the girls not including Kari and Mimi went to their homes, while everyone else quickly drove to Sora's house, and made sure all the doors and gates were locked. Then they quickly carried Tai upstairs, where Joe examined him.
Down in the living room…
"Where did you guys learn Karate?" (Matt)
"Oh, after you guys all left, we were sort of bored so we decided to take Karate lessons. Sora specializes in the chain, while I specialize in the staff, and hand to hand." (Kari)
"I hope Tai's alright." (Sora)
"He'll be okay." (Izzy)
"I hope so." (Sora)
"Don't worry Sora, he'll be fine." (Mimi)
"You guys can visit him now." (Joe)
Everyone rushed upstairs at the sound of Joe's voice, and they went in at five-minute-intervals. Finally Sora went in last, but first she went into her room to get an herb.
"Hey Tai." She said quietly. "How are you doing?"
"I've felt better. Sora, are you alright? I'm sorry I couldn't help you, I feel so worthless. I'm supposed to be the brave leader, but I just watched."
"Tai, you couldn't help it, you were hurt." As Sora had been talking she had been mixing the herb in some water. Softly she dipped her hand in the bowl and slowly gathered up some of the salve, then carefully smoothed some onto Tai's arm where there was a bruise.
"That feels good. Thanks Sora, for always being there, even when I've been a jerk."
"Don't worry about it." Tai watched Sora's face as she continued to smooth the salve on his arm. It seemed so gentle, and calm. Tai felt the pain dull as Sora's cool fingers lightly spread the salve along his wounds. (AND NONE OF THIS IS GOING TO GET PERVERTED SO DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!)
"Sora?"
"Hm?"
"Do you really still think of me as your best friend?" (Tai)
Sora stopped working for a minute and looked at Tai. Smiling she said, "Of course! We've been through everything together! Through evil digimon and death, through laughter and sorrow. Now lift your face, I need to reach the wounds on your forehead and cheek."
Sora leaned toward Tai, and gently traced his wounds with the cool salve. Tai could smell her perfume, and her touch felt feather light. He wanted to reach up and stroke her cheek, but he didn't. Instead he said, "Sora, remember when I left, and we promised that we would always stay together?"
"Yeah."
"Well I missed you so much! I never stopped thinking about you! Everyday I would sit down and think, today I'm gonna write back, but I never did. I was always too afraid that you would decide that you never loved me and that you would hate me. So I never wrote to you."
By then Sora had finished smoothing on the ointment. "Oh Tai, I could never hate you! We've known each other too long to have to worry about that!"
"Sora can you ever forgive me? I mean I would have come if I had known about your mother's death, and I would have come if you had just asked."
"Tai I forgave you a long time ago, and I never asked because I knew that you were happy as a soccer player, and I didn't want to take your happiness away."
"Sora-" (Tai)
Sora put her finger on his lips, "Sh. You need to get some rest."
He gripped her hand and said, "Okay, but Sora-"
"Tai, here. I'm going to play some music to help you sleep, and the answer is yes."
Tai lifted his eyebrow, but he started to relax when Sora started to play some music on his radio. He felt the words of the song coming from his heart and he understood why Sora had said yes. The song that she had turned on was Are You Going To Be There.
He slowly felt himself drift off into sleep, and the last thing he saw was Sora's gentle face.

WTL: The next part is about Mimi and Matt, I know I've been really sketchy on that, so the next one will be for all those Mimato fans. So Read and Review, Flames welcome. I didn't write down the lyrics to Are You Going to be There because I'll be more specific about that in later parts.
