Here we are again with my very first complete romance fic. And here is my lovely disclaimer: I do not own Digimon... BUT I SO WISH THAT I DID SO THAT I COULD GO IN AND CHANGE EVERYTHING!!! Well, now that that's off my chest... Maybe Season 3 of Digimon will go how I want it to. I'll get acquainted with the new Digi-destined kids and see where it goes. *sigh* I just wished that things would go the way I want them to. *grins evilly* So long as I'm in front of the computer, there is always a way I can make things my way. I will write so many Taioras and so many Takaris and so many Kouyakos. Heck, I'll begin my own epic adventure of Digimon. Muahahahahahah!!! Hold it! I never laugh evil like that. What happened to me?

Oh never mind. Well, back to my story... I had a feeling people would hate Joany. But give her a break. I'm going to. She's not a bad person. She just wanted Izzy all to herself and was acting on her heart. If Yolei and Izzy did that in the first place they wouldn't be in this situation. Now would they? (just nod and say "I guess so")

Okay, since I love Digimon so much, I'm not too into Davis bashing. Okay? So, even if I just make fun of him a little, it's not because I hate him, he's just like that. I don't like bashing anyone at all. Well, except maybe Jun.... But I wont', cause I know some people hate the Davis bashing and the Jun bashing. I for one hate the bashing all together. Unless I decide to do something humorous, which I probably won't cause I don't have a sense of humor. That left with the last picture I took. (Camera's steal my soul)

And now.... on with the show, er, uh story....

Lost In The Moment

Part 3

Mimi hung a handful of dresses on the return racks near the dressing rooms and then immediately headed back out to search for more. But not before she shot one worried glance at the sullen Yolei who seemed to be looking alright.

Kit leaned toward Kari as they both kept their eyes on Yolei.

"You think she's going to be alright?" Kit asked worriedly.

"You've asked me that a million times already," Kari said. But she too was worried about her friend.

"Don't worry you two," Sora said leaning against the wall next to them, "I'm sure Yolei will be okay." She also felt very worried.

"She doesn't seem to be taking it very hard," Kit said, "Maybe she's over him already."

"You think it's that easy to get over someone?" Jade asked. She had run into the girls after school and was invited to come shopping with Mimi. She also knew about Yolei's crush on Izzy. Actually, all the girls knew about Yolei's crush. It was the boys who were oblivious to the fact. And Yolei had made a pretty big point not to let anyone find out.

"You mean she's just playing it off, like nothing happened and that she's fine?" Kit asked.

"I did the exact same thing when my first boyfriend dumped me for another girl," Jade said, "It's always easier to play it off in front of friends. But as soon as you get home, you cry yourself to sleep."

"Poor Yolei," Kari said.

"Okay, ladies," Mimi said coming back with yet another handful of dresses, "Have your pick."

"How does she do it?" Kit asked not the least bit surprised at all the different designs of dresses Mimi had managed to dig out.

"It's a Mimi thing," Kari laughed.

"Come Yolei," Mimi said looking at the young girl, "I picked one out, especially for you. Just try it on."

Yolei looked up, "Mimi, I really don't-"

"Please, Yolei," Mimi gave a sad face, "Do it for me. If you don't like this one, then, well, I won't force you to try on any others."

Yolei nodded unenthusiastically and got up from where she was sitting. Mimi smiled and handed her what looked like a violet colored dress with small black flower designs on it. At different angles, the light revealed hints of glimmering rainbow colors, but those were barely visible. The design of the dress, however, was unseen. Yolei took the dress without even taking one glance at it and then walked into the dressing room.

"I hope she likes it," Kari said.

"Me too," Mimi nodded, "It'd be a real shame for her to miss out on prom just because of Izzy."

"Quiet," Kit shushed, "She might hear you."

"Did you pick anything out for me?" Kari asked.

"Didn't I already?" Mimi asked looking for the black sleeve-less dress Kari had tried on earlier.

"It was too low," Kari said, "In the front." She blushed.

"Oh," Mimi said, "Well, I didn't realize that." She dug through the dresses still in her arms. Like a professional- actually, she was a professional- she dug out another dress and held it up. "Now look at this beauty," Mimi said, "Strapless, yet elegant. And look, it shimmers too."

Kari looked skeptical as she tried to take in the long black dress. It was a lacy type material with small flower designs on it, on top of a solid black material on the inside. But yes, it was strapless, "I don't think Tai's going to let me out of the house in that."

"What does Tai know?" Mimi scoffed, "If you add on a nice shawl, it'll just look dazzling. You'll be able to knock TK right off his feet." She handed the dress to Kari.

Kari hesitated, "I don't know."

"At least try it on," Sora said, "What harm would that do? If you really like it, I'm sure Tai won't mind."

"Just try it," Jade urged.

Kari nodded and took the dress.

"Now it's your turn," Mimi eyed Kit. Kit looked around and then pointed at herself mouthing the word, "me?" Mimi nodded, "Who else?"

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no," Kit said backing away, "I said I'd only come in support of Yolei and everyone else. I didn't say I'd try on one of those." She pointed disgustedly at the dresses.

"There really is no harm in trying, you know," Jade teased. She too was curious about how Kit would look in a dress. For as long as she knew, the closest thing Kit ever wore to a dress was the school uniform. And even under that, she wore a pair of nylon warm-ups, which made the dress look more like a long shirt.

"I'm not trying it on," Kit protested.

They didn't have time to torture Kit any further. Kari's and Yolei's doors both opened at the same time.

"Outstanding!" Mimi squealed looking at Yolei, then at Kari.

Yolei stood there in a long dress that barely poofed out at the bottom. It had three spaghetti string straps on each side that crossed in the back. Besides that, it fit Yolei's form perfectly. Yolei gave a small smile.

Kari, stood there looking dreamily down at her dress. Just like Mimi said, it made her look more elegant than showy. She probably didn't even need a cover for her shoulders- that is, unless Tai decided to freak out.

"Well, Yolei?" Sora smiled.

"Is there any hint of you liking this dress?" Jade asked.

Yolei looked down and then couldn't help but nod a little, "I guess. But this still doesn't mean I'm going to prom."

The other girls' smiles were immediately wiped off their faces.

"You have to go, Yolei," Kari pleaded.

"Yeah," Jade said, "It's either that, or I'll be there all by myself, since my beloved cousin is so against going." She made a face at Kit, who stuck her tongue out at her cousin.

"Mimi will make you look beautiful," Kari said, "And then, you'll have all the boys all over you."

Yolei sighed and nodded, "Okay. But only for you guys." It didn't matter to her whether or not she went anymore. But she figured, why not go and have fun with her friends. It's better than nothing. Maybe I could sneak in a dance with Izzy. As friends.

"One down," Mimi smiled deviously and looked at Kit, "One more to go."

"I think I'll be leaving now," Kit said trying to slip away.

"Oh no you don't," Mimi cried out.

Kit gasped as two pairs of hands grabbed for her, pulling her back into the dressing room area.

*********

THUMP!

"Oh no!" Davis cried. He had been thinking about Kari all day. He couldn't believe that she was going to prom with TK. Even during soccer practice he wasn't thinking straight. And then, on accident, he slammed his foot into the soccer ball a little too hard and sent it flying across the field at an innocent bystander, who just so happened to be walking by absentmindedly and oblivious to the oncoming soccer ball headed straight towards her head.

"This can't be good," Davis said to himself as he ran over, "Hey! Are you okay?" Davis squatted down next to the girl. She rubbed her forehead and then looked up.

"Yeah," she said, "I'm fine. I guess I wasn't watching where I was going."

"No," Davis said, "It's my fault. My mind spaced out all day and I wasn't watching where I was kicking."

They both looked at each other and laughed.

"Well," she said, "Let's just say it was an accident. Nobody's fault."

"But it was my fault," Davis said like a little child.

"I said, it was just an accident," she smiled at the childish boy, "Accidents happen." She pulled herself up off of the ground and brushed off her jeans.

"I'm Serena," she said holding her hand out.

"I'm Davis," Davis shook her hand.

"I know," Serena said, "You're the co-captain of the boys' soccer team. You and Tai are on the same team."

"You know Tai?" Davis asked.

"Who doesn't?" Serena said, "I mean, he's the captain and the star player of Odaiba High's soccer team. And then there's also Sora Takenouchi-"

"You know Sora too?" Davis asked.

"Of course," Serena said, "I look up to her. When I first started playing soccer, I heard all about her. How, even when she was little, she played soccer with boys older than her and she could beat them easily too. She's my idle."

"You play soccer?" Davis asked.

Serena nodded, "Yeah. I just wished I'd get to have the chance to play with Sora as a teammate. Too bad she doesn't play anymore. I hear she's a star tennis player though. She's so talented. She's good at everything she does. I wish I were more like her." She hung her head sadly.

"Aww," Davis said trying to comfort the girl, "Don't be like that. As long as you believe in yourself and practice hard, someday you'll be just as good as Sora is."

"Really?" Serena asked smiling, "Hey, since you're the co-captain of the boys' soccer team, will you be willing to give me a couple of pointers?"

"No problem," Davis said, "I'm always willing to lend a hand to a friend. You came to the right person."

"Well, thank you," Serena said. She looked at him questioningly, "Friend?"

"Of course," Davis said, "You're a really nice person."

Serena smiled, "Hey, uh, do you have a date for prom yet?"

Davis looked downed all of a sudden, "I would have, but..." TK stole my girl.

"Does that mean-?" Serena looked at his downcast expression wondering what she may have said.

"No," Davis said, "I don't have a date yet." He looked at his watch.

"Well, would you like to-?" Serena began but Davis cut her off.

"I gotta go," Davis said, "My mom's expecting me to be home. It was nice meeting you."

"But-" Serena called after him. But he didn't hear her as he hurried off. Serena shook her head, I'll just have to catch him some other time.

*********

Tai glared at TK. TK gulped in fear and nervousness. He tugged on his collar and tried to scoot away before Tai hurt him.

Matt came back into the living room and looked at his friend, then at his brother.

"Did you come here for a reason, other than scaring my brother to death?" Matt handed Tai a can of soda.

"Uh, yeah," Tai said, "I just figure I'd do this along the way." He didn't remove his eyes once from the frightened young boy.

"What did you need?" Matt asked.

"Well, first of all," Tai said, "I needed your expertise on prom preparation. Second of all-" he spoke to TK this time "-I want to make sure you understand a couple things, buddy. If you so much as treat Kari in the wrong way, I will personally see to it that the sun doesn't shine for you anymore. You know what I'm talking about."

"Tai," Matt laughed, "give the squirt a break. You know you can trust him."

Tai let out a deep breath and leaned back laughing at how he had almost given his young friend a heart attack. TK also let out a breath of relief knowing that Tai wasn't a threat anymore.

"I know," Tai said, "I know I can trust him. But Matt, it all comes back to the fact that TK is male. You know what I mean?"

Matt nodded in agreement this time. TK slapped his head. Tai had known him for more than five years now and didn't even trust him with his sister. Matt was agreeing with Tai. He couldn't believe this.

"He's right, bro," Matt said to TK noticing the exasperated look on TK's face, "You never know what could happen on prom night. But Tai, I don't see any real reason to worry about Kari. You and I both know that TK isn't that kind of a person."

"You don't have a younger sister entering her teen years," Tai said, "You wouldn't understand what an older brother has to go through just to protect his sister."

"That's true," Matt said, "I may understand how it is to be an older brother, but I definitely have no clue about what it's like to have a younger sister. All I have is TK."

"Thanks," TK said sarcastically.

"Just promise me you'll treat her right," Tai said as TK nodded, "Honestly, I'm just so glad that it's you Kari's going with and not Davis."

TK smiled glad to hear that even his friends could see that he and Kari were meant to be together.

"Now," Tai said, "Down to business." He turned back to Matt who nodded.

"I'll tell you everything you need to know and I'll have you ready by the time prom rolls around in five days," Matt said, "Geez, you'd think you've never been to prom before." He then thought about what he had just said. It was actually true; Tai had never gone to prom before. Matt sighed, This is going to be a long night.

How was it? Was it good? How's it going so far? You like? I'm sorry that I didn't put too much of other couples in. Like I said, this is mostly a Kouyako. However, I am in the process of writing an action, adventure and romance that has to do with Tai and Sora. And I'm writing a Takari. I also have this idea to write another Taiora. But we'll just have to see where my mind decides to take me.

What do you think about my characters: Kit and Jade? You like them? I'm planning on writing a new epic adventure with them in it as the Digi-destined from Hong Kong who have to help the Season 2 Digi-destined in saving the world. All I need is a plot, two digimon and an evil digimon with a plan. And an aspirin, pencil and paper so I can write to the creators of Digimon and give them a piece of my mind for up and ending Season 2 of Digimon the way they did. I just saw it this morning and I cried my eyes out at how it ended. I mean, it was a happy ending, but it didn't end the way it should have. *sniff* Oh on, I'm going to start- *begins bawling all over again* I'm sorry...

Don't forget to review.
