Thanks to all those people whom reviewed J

Sorry this came out so late, but don't worry this is a long chapter. One of the longest I ever wrote so far. See, I've been writing all along, but haven't published it cause I didn't feel like typing all this stuff. For those of you who don't know what it's like, it takes at least an hour and a half or more just to type all this. If you are waiting for the next chapter of Who Would Have Thought? Previously known as No Title Yet, I'm kinda having a writer's block on it. I've started it the second part to chapter 6, but only the beginning of it. I haven't updated so long cause I had finals on May 23 and 24, but now its summer vacation, so the chapters might be coming out sooner. I will be writing them almost everyday; it just depends on when I want to type it. Well, I guess you guys want to read the story now, so on with the story…

"Mother, father, may I go to the castle and visit Sora and Mimi today please?" asked Kari.
"Sure, but bring Takeru and Yamato with you," said Lady Kamiya.
"And see if Tai wants to go too," added Lord Kamiya. Kari was walking down the hall to go to her brother's room when she bumped into Takeru.
"I'm sorry, excuse me please," said Kari.
"No it was my fault. I didn't see where I was going either.
"Lord Takeru, would you like to go to the castle today?" asked Kari.
"Sure."
"Great, could you tell your brother too?"
"okay."
"Well, I have to tell my brother now so I'll see you a bit later. Bye."
"Bye," said T.K. with a dazed look on his face.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After about half and hour…
"So T.K., going to the palace with my sister?" asked Tai.
"Sorry bro, but Tai said he would show me the city today," said Matt.
"That's okay," said Takeru.
"We'll try to be back soon. Maybe we could meet you there," said Tai. Just as Tai had finished his last sentence, Kari walked in.
"So Takeru, is everything all set?" asked Kari.
"Yes Hikari, but unfortunately our brothers won't be able to join us," answered T.K.
"Oh that's fine, but just remember to be there tonight. There's a ball at 7:00pm," said Kari.

"Sure," said Matt.
"Have fun at the palace," said Tai. After T.K. and Kari left, Tai asked, "Are you ready to go Matt?"
"Yeah, should I bring anything?" asked Matt.
"No, just your money, but watch out for thieves." The two of them went to the stables, got on their horses, and rode off to the city.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

About 20mins later…

"Wow, this is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen," said Matt.
"Yeah, me and Sora used to play here all the time when we were little," said Tai, "But if you think this is pretty, you should see the city near the palace."
"Who's Sora?" asked Matt.
"She's the crowned princess and my best friend. She's also like a sister to Kari and me."
"Cool," said Matt.
The two looked around the streets for about 10mins at from pottery, jewelry to even food!
"Matt, I have a little errand to do but you can still look around if you'd like."
"Okay, cool. I'll meet you at that food stand over there," said Matt.
"I'll be back in less than 15 minutes," said Tai as he walked off. Matt continued to walk around a little. He went to a bookstore and then to a little stand with jewelry, charms, special stones, jade, and other neat things. 'This would be perfect for Cindy' thought Matt, as he was about to pick up a gold necklace with a heart-shaped charm on it. In the middle of the heart was a diamond surrounded by jade. Just as Matt was about to buy it, he saw a girl with auburn colored hair and crimson eyes pick it up. "I'll give you 20 pieces of gold for it," said the girl.
"Miss, that's too much," said an old man who owned the stand.
"It's okay. Keep the change. You can use it to hire and take a break," said the girl as she handed him the money.
"Thank you kind miss," said the old man.
"Take care," said the girl as she and her companion walked away. Matt couldn't believe what just happened then. One minute he was buying a necklace for his so called "girlfriend" and the next, someone gets it before him and he can't stop staring at her.
"Miss," he called out to her, "Wait! I was about to buy th necklace, but it seems like you got it before me, so I was wondering if you would sell it to me. I'll pay you double the prince."
"I'm sorry, but it's not for sale," said the young lady.
"Come on, we have to goo now or we'll be late," said her companion.
"Okay Mimi. Be with you in a sec," said the girl.
"Well, I have to go now. I'm really sorry about the necklace. Maybe you'll find another one like it," she said as she turned to leave. After she was out of sight, Matt suddenly remembered he was supposed to meet Tai five minutes ago.
'Uh oh, I hope he's not mad' thought Matt as he mad his way to the food stand. Standing there was a not so pleasant Tai.
"Look Tai, I can explain," said Matt. "See, I was looking around and lost track of time and I met this girl. Anyways, I'm really sorry I'm late." Just as he finished his sentence, he saw Tai's face turn from a frown to a smile. "Man, you should have seen the look on you face," said Tai as he laughed, "you really thought I was mad!"
"What! You mean you were only pretending?" exclaimed Matt.
"Well, I kind of figured you'd be late cause since you've never been here before, you'd probably want to look around longer or get lost. Anyways, what were you saying about a girl?" asked Tai.
"Well, I was walking around and I saw this stand that sold jewelry, so I was going to buy a necklace for Cindy, but this redhead with crimson eyes got it before me. I tried to buy it from her and after she left, I realized I was late."
"Who's Cindy?" asked Tai.
"This girl that I know who keeps flirting with me. I promised I would get her something if she stopped bothering me for a week," said Matt.
"Did you get the necklace Matt?" asked Tai.
"Nope, she wouldn't sell it."
"Oh well, don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll find something else to give to Cindy," said Tai, "Why don't we continue to walk around here."
"Sure"

Later that afternoon…(Tai and Matt are back at Tai's place)

"Boys, are you ready? The ball is starting at 7:00pm. We don't want to be late," said Lady Kamiya.
"Coming mother," replied Tai as he picked up his mask and followed Matt out the door. The Ishidas and Kamiyas got in two separate carriages and headed towards the castle.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
At the ball…
Everyone was in masks so it was hard to tell who was who. However, Matt and Tai already knew who T.K. and Kari were because they saw their masks beforehand.
"Hey T.K., hey sis, how was your afternoon?" asked Tai,
"It was really fun. We got to go horseback riding together. The only thing that could have made it better was if Sora and Mimi were there. We haven't seen them all day," said Kari.
"Horseback riding eh, Takeru?" teased Matt as T.K. slightly blushed. The four continued to talk until they saw a girl with brown hair come up to them. Matt thought it looked like the same girl with the redhead today. "Mimi! Is that you?" asked Kari.
"The one and only," said Mimi.
"You look fabulous! And I love your dress!" exclaimed Kari. Mimi was wearing a pink dress (what did you expect?) with alight pink ruffles at the bottom of the dress and at the rim of the neckline. The neckline was really low to her shoulders and she wore a black choker with a teardrop ruby hanging from the middle. Little specks of diamond that sparked in the light surrounded the choker. She was also wearing light pink gloves. "Thank you Kari. I adore your dress too. I think I should get one made just like it, only in pink," said Mimi. Kari was wearing a violet dress that came below her ankle and many layers on the lower part of her dress. Flowers embodied on there surrounded the end of each layer. On her hands were white gloves to her elbow.
"Thanks," said Kari.
"Mimi, this is T.K. and that's his brother Matt. They're staying with us for a while," said Tai, "and this is Mimi. The flirtatious one of the group and I bet you can tell that her favorite color is pink."
"Tai, I resent that. You know perfectly well that I am not the only flirty one around here, eh?" said Mimi with a smirk as everyone laughed.
"Nice to meet you," said T.K. as he bent down to kiss Mimi's hand.
"Nice to meet you too," said Mimi.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Lady Mimi," said Matt.
"The pleasure is all mine," said Mimi.
"Say, weren't you at the market this morning?" asked Matt.
"Yes I was, and I think I saw you there too," replied Mimi.
"I'm glad you guys met already," said Kari.
"Hey guys, I think they're going to announce someone," said T.K. Everyone stopped dancing as the music stopped and one guard said," And now ladies and lords, may I present her royal highness, princess Sora Takenouchi." The curtains lifts up and Sora walks down the stairs gracefully one step at a time while holding her long shimmering dress at her sides so that it didn't get in her way.
'Wow, she's beautiful' thought Matt. He almost felt his heart skip a beat when she started to walk towards them. (Remember that Matt doesn't know that Sora was the girl he saw earlier because they're wearing masks.)
"My princess," said Tai as he bowed down and kissed her hand.
"Tai, stop joking around," said Sora as she hit him playfully and laughed. She was wearing a white dress that was really nothing fancy nor plain. The dress had a low neckline and went below her ankles. There were red roses embodied on the left side of her dress in the shape of an L along the border of her dress. She wore white gloves that were elbow length with tiny jewels along the side of it. Her hair was curled and put up with a tiara holding it on her head. Matt almost melted at the sight of seeing her smile even though he couldn't see her whole face.
"Hi Kari," said Sora, "who are your friends?"
"This is T.K. and that's his brother Matt."
"Hi, it's nice to meet you," she said.
"H-h-hi," stuttered T.K. as he couldn't help but stare at her," It's a great pleasure to meet you your highness,"
"Call me Sora, just about everyone does."
"I'm happy to meet your acquaintance," said Sora as she saw Yamato.
"And I am charmed to meet you too, my princess," replied Matt.
"You can call me Sora too" said Sora with a smile. As Yamato stared at her, he noticed something very familiar around her neck. 'Yes, it's the same one, or at least it looks like it' thought Matt, as he realized Sora was the same girl at the market this morning.
"Sora, I have a feeling that we've met before. Were you at the market this morning with Mimi?"
"Yes, how did you know?" asked Sora.
"Don't you recognize me?" asked Matt as he took of his mask.
