Chapter 3: Party Planning...And More

Author's Note: I just totally wanted to focus on Takari/Dakari but I couldn't resist it! I had to add some Taiora and Mimato. (Well, Matt's thinking about Mimi, who's in America…does that count actual Mimato?) Besides, I couldn't put this odd numbered chapter in TK's POV because Matt, Tai and Sora are planning a surprise farewell party for him. I decided Matt would narrate, just 'coz he's TK's older bro. Then, there's Tai and Sora…yep, ya know what I mean! Matt's gonna get all gooey too, thinking about Mimi…Originally, Kari was supposed to help, but she refuses to go over to Matt's apartment. Why? You'll find out in the next chapter. Remember, R & R, all right??? Much love to all you peeps for reading my first Digimon fan-fic.

Disclaimer: I wish I owned Digimon but I don't. If I did, the other stuff in the previous chapters' Disclaimers would happen, and also, I would have Matt wanting to be a pop star instead of a rock star and join a boyband. Imagine that, Matt Ishida, pretty boy! LOL!

MATT: Miss Wings, got a minute?
ME: Sure, what's up, Yams?
MATT: (a sweat drop appears) *I wish she'd stop calling me that!* (to me) I wanna be with Mimi…
ME: *Hmmm…that could work…right…is he enough of a pretty boy???* (to Matt) There's actually one thing you can do.
MATT: I need her so badly…I love her so much…TELL ME!!! I'd do anything for her!!!
ME: Anything!? (I grin like a Cheshire Cat)
MATT: ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING!!!
ME: Okay, Yams…(I whisper in Matt's ear) To be closer to Mimi, move to America and join a boyband.
MATT: (screams) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anything but that!!! PLEASE!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (runs away in fear, screaming his head off)
ME: Hey, I guess Yammy still dreams of being a rock star. (I laugh) Anyway, here's the third chapter of my fan-fic. Enjoy! Remember, R & R, all right? Stay cool, peeps!

Chapter 3: Party Planning…And More!

I slept over another night at TK's then I was sent home. I knew TK was already starting to pack and he would be busy for a couple of days so I decided to go ahead and dial up the Kamiyas'. It was a nice afternoon, and I thought that maybe Kari and Tai would be outside but I tried anyway.

"Hello?" Tai's voice answered the phone.

I said, "Hey, Tai, it's me! I have an idea. Let's throw a surprise going away party for TK!"

"Good idea, Matt! When do we start planning?"

"How about we start planing ASAP?"

"Great! So you want me to come over?"

"Yeah, and bring Sora and Kari too!"

"Excellent! I mean, cool! I'll call Sora right away! Catch ya later!"

"See ya later, man!"

So that was that. All I had to do was wait. I sighed as I grabbed some chips and soda out of the cupboard.

A while later, the doorbell rang. I answered the door and Tai was there with Sora. Kari was nowhere in sight, which worried me. I let them in and we settled into the living room. I sat on the couch while Sora and Tai were sitting cross-legged on the floor.

"Tai, where's Kari?'" I asked him.

He answered, "She told me that she didn't feel like doing this and angrily kicked me out of her room."

"That's not like her, man! She always seems so even-tempered…" I commented.

Sora smiled and told us, "It's about TK, you guys! She has a hard time accepting that he's leaving again."

I just watched as Tai began to tickle Sora. He said, "When did you get so smart, Miss Takenouchi!?"

As Tai tickled her and she laughed, Sora managed to reply, "I was always this smart but you weren't smart enough to notice that I was until now."

I let the two of them tickle each other on my living room floor as I scribbled in my notebook. When I noticed what I wrote, I quickly ripped the page out of my notebook and trashed it. I thought about Mimi in America and wondered what she was doing…I miss her.

A few minutes later, I said, "You guys finished now???"

Tai and Sora were trying to catch their breath so they didn't answer right away.

Finally, Tai said, "Yeah, we're done."

"Yeah, let's plan this party!" Sora added with a wide grin.

We talked for a while and decided to have it at Joe's apartment, since it was the biggest out of anyone's apartments and there's no adult supervision. Technically, Joe was the adult but…ya know, he's one of us! Besides, he told us we could throw parties at his place whenever we wanted, except when he was working at the lab. He wanted to help plan this one but he was working again. I wanted Kari to help distract TK because I knew how much TK enjoys being with her but she didn't feel like helping so I had to come up with something else.

I casually glanced at Tai and Sora. They were at it again and this time, they were kissing. I felt that we weren't getting any of the planning done. Not that I was jealous or anything…well, that's not completely true, okay? I wish I could be with Mimi.

We went on planning the party but no one was concentrating on the task at hand. Tai and Sora were focused on each other and I was focused on Mimi.

I remembered once, we were in a chat room that Izzy made just for us Digidestined, just the two of us; it was about a month ago. I was gonna tell Mimi how much I missed her and wanted her to be with me but then, people and Digimon started coming in.

I could have told her before everyone came but I chickened out. I never tried since. A month has passed and I still haven't told her. Oh…well…

"Matt, should we have the Digimon over?" Tai asked me.

Tai's voice broke through my thoughts.

I answered, "Sure, why not?"

Sora's smile lit up her face. It was contagious and soon, I found myself smiling too. Tai filled me in on the planning they had done while I spaced out and we went on. Soon enough, we had an amazing party for TK…at least, on paper. I told Sora and Tai they could leave and that I would make all the phone calls.
