The Powers Within
Chapter I
"Tai! Would you stop stuffing your face and hurry up?"
"All right, all right! Geez, Matt!"
18-year-old Tai Kamiya ran to join his friends: 18-year-old Matt Ishida, 19-year-old Joe Kido, and 17-year-old Izzy Izumi.
"What's the rush you guys?" Tai said through a mouthful of fries. Tai had grown to a height of about 5'9 and had a very well built body. He still had the big hair and wore his goggles, but his taste in clothes was very good. He wore a nice pair of denim pants, a tight gray t-shirt that showed off his well-built body, and a pair of black boots.
"Well, Tai, we want to get a decent standing spot." Came Matt's reply. Matt also had a very well built body. He wore a pair of khaki shorts, a blue tank top with a red button down shirt over it, and a pair of sandals.
"Yeah. And tonight's act is supposed to be really good. They've played here before, but that was the weekend of our soccer finals." Izzy put in. Although Izzy was not as built as Matt or Tai, he was still really hot! He was almost Tai's height and had the same hairstyle he did that crazy summer and wore a green shirt with blue khaki type pants.
"Yeah, and since I don't feel like straining my eyes to see them, let's hurry up!" Joe whined. He was a full 6'1. He had on a white button down shirt, khaki pants, and tennis shoes. He had somewhat long blue hair and his trade mark glasses.
"So, what's the name of this band?" Tai asked.
"I dunno, but I hear they're really good." Matt said.
"There's two girls and two guys." Said Izzy.
"Ahhh... And here we are. The Gray Hare!" Joe announced.
They stood outside a gray one story building with a big lit up sign that read "The Gray Hare: Today's Best New Talents". As they entered the building they saw a sign that said the name of the night's acts.
"Tonight- LSNL: Leo, Sincerity, Nobility, and Love".
They could hardy believe their eyes. Sincerity and love? That couldn't be possible. They hadn't seen them in seven years! Yet, each of our guys thought about them every day. Even though the four of them had kept a close friendship, they lost touch with Mimi and Sora soon after they returned home that summer seven years ago.
For Tai, there was much confusion. He later found out that the reason why Matt constantly contradicted him was because he thought Tai liked Sora, because he liked Sora. When in fact Tai liked Mimi, and Matt was free to like Sora. But they never found out which girl liked which guy. So you can see why Tai was so confused with this confusing situation. But wait! It gets even better!
Over the past seven years Izzy and Joe became the best of friends. And they often shared with each other the objects of their affections. And guess what?! Joe liked Sora and Izzy liked Mimi! (TSP: Doesn't our world work in strange ways?)
But what makes this situation even better is the fact that all this time Joe and Izzy were thinking of Mimi and Sora, they never had the slightest idea that Tai and Matt were thinking of them too! But, I guess this is just one of those situations where nothing can be done to help it.
"Excuse me! Some of us want to go INSIDE!" said a very annoyed voice behind the group of guys.
They all looked behind them to realize that quite a long line had accumulated behind them.
"Oh, sorry." Tai said as he and the others hurried through the door.
The Gray Hare was a dimly lit nightclub. It had one very huge stage, which, at the moment, was filled with amps, mics, some guitars and a trombone. The little booths along the sidewalls were all filled with excited music goers. The dance floor was also pretty well packed.
"Great! Now we have to stand in the back! Thanks Tai" Matt yelled in a sarcastic tone.
"Sorry."
"Joe." Izzy whispered, "What if it really is them?"
"I don't know, Izzy. We could only be so lucky." Was his reply.
"Hey, what do you know about this band?" Matt asked a very hyper looking girl nearby.
"Oh my god! You don't know? They are only the hottest band around!"
Matt was a little offended. His band was really good, yet they had no luck what so ever in getting a gig at the Gray Hare. *They had better be good!* He thought.
"No, I mean the people in the band."
"Oh, well there's this pretty girl with pink hair. And the other pretty girl has red hair, and she also has a brother in the band. Him and the other guy are really hot!" she practically drooled.
"Do you know what their names are, though?" Tai asked, getting really annoyed by this girl's hyperactivity.
"Only that the guys are Jacob and Eric."
"Oh, well, thanks." Tai said. "Do you think it's them? He asked Matt.
"I don't know Tai. But we could only be so lucky."
Just then all the lights, except for the blinking colored stage lights, went out. And a man walked out onto the stage.
"SKA-HUNA! SKA-HUNA!" The crowd chanted.
"Okay, okay, it's me. Not let's settle down for a minute, and then we can get really crazy!" Ska-Huna yelled. "Okay, now the first time this group was here you loved them! We had groups of you bombard us to get them back! So you wanted them, now here they are! Boys and girls, I present to you LSNL! Leo, Sincerity, Nobility, and Love!"
Ska-Huna ran off stage as it became filled with smoke. Lights were blinking on and off as the crowd started going wild.
The sound of music filled the air as the silhouettes of two guys and two girls became clear. They started to sing.
"Now that you're out of my life,
I'm so much better.
Thought I'd be weak without you,
But I'm stronger.
You thought that I'd be broke without you,
But I'm richer.
You thought that I'd be sad without you,
I laugh harder.
Thought I wouldn't grow without you,
But I'm wiser.
Thought that I'd be helpless without you,
Now I'm smarter.
Thought that I'd be stressed without you,
But I'm chillin.
You thought I wouldn't sail without you,
Sold my million."
Tai, Matt, Joe and Izzy were awe struck. Singing right before their very own eyes were Sora and Mimi!
Sora was drop-dead, heart stopping, head turning, and god giving gorgeous! She had grown to about 5'7. She still had her red hair, but it was about four inches past her shoulders. She wore a deep blue short skirt that went about five inches above her knees and had some very high slits. She wore a silver tank top and silver, high-heeled shoes. She also had on wire rimmed, blue tinted glasses. The guy next to her was about two inches taller than her. He wore black pants a red shirt, gray zipped up vest, and tennis shoes. He had dark brown hair with flecks of gold and was very good looking. Next to him was Mimi. She, of course, was drool worthy beautiful. She had dyed her long hair pink. And it looked good! She was only about 5'5 and wore a pink short sleeveless dress with pink flip-flops. Next to her was a guy about one inch taller than her. He had jet-black hair and wore cargo pants with an open Hawaiian t-shirt.
"I can't believe it's them!" Tai yelled to his friends.
"Neither can I!" Matt yelled back.
"Let's see it we can get closer and get their attention!" Yelled Izzy.
They tried to make their way closer, but had no luck which was good because it looked like Joe wasn't going anywhere for a while. He was just standing there wide-eyed and opened mouthed.
"Joe! Joe! Hello? Tai to Joe, do you read me?" Tai said waving his hands in front of his face.
"Huh? What? Oh, sorry." He said snapping back to reality. "I just can't believe it's her. I mean them."
Their song continued. All the while Mimi and the guy with the black hair danced together, while Sora and the brown haired guy with brown hair danced very, VERY close.
This seemed to upset Matt, Joe, and Tai.
*I'm not liking that guy!* they all thought.
**Wait!* Tai thought. **Where did that come from?*
The first song ended and the crown was going wild.
"Thank you!" Sora yelled. "We're very glad to be back here! Before we go on with our show, I would like to introduce ourselves. My name is Sora Takenouchi. I just turned 18 last month and these guys," She said pointing to the others on stage, "Are my life! Let me introduce you to Jacob Whyn!" She said taking the hand of the guy next to her. "Mimi Tachikawa, and, my brother, Eric Takenouchi! Ladies and gentlemen we are LSNL!"
"Leo!" (Eric)
"Sincerity!" (Mimi)
"Nobility!" (Jacob)
"And Love!" The crown once again went wild and someone near the front yelled, "I love you Sora!".
"I love you too!" She yelled back as she blew him a kiss. This caused the crown to get even more rowdy.
"So get ready!" Mimi yelled. "Cause there's lots more to come!"

TSP: So how was it?
Goma: Great!
TSP: Oh you're just saying that.
Tai: Yeah he is.
TSP: Hey!
Joe: Don't worry Stac. I loved it. :::kisses Stacy on the cheek:::
TSP: Hehehehehe....
Tai: Hey hands off my girl!
Biyo: Not this again!!!
Goma: Well For Stacy, who seems real pre-occupied, this is Gomamon signing off! Later days!
TSP: And Keep reading for the next chapter of "The Power Within". And I know it's really weird right now. But believe me, it gets a lot worse! Well catch you on the flip side!
