Chapter 3 – Bachelor party/Bachelorette party

It was just a few months after TK and Tai popped the question to Sora and Kari and a few days before the wedding. There was a soccer game involving Davis' Odaiba team against Ken's team from Timanchi. The first half was uneventful, but there was one goal separating the two teams. Davis' team led 1-0 after the first half. During halftime, that's when things got interesting. I wanted to go and talk to Tai and TK, and gave a signal to Ken and Davis to come with me. We played a good one, and before they knew it, Tai and TK were being blindfolded, and led to the center of the field. Davis and I took of the two guys blindfolds, and they were looking at two strippers. They were thinking the same thing, "Why did ML, Davis and Ken do this?" They hated every minute of it, but at least they got a few minutes of touching a bit.

The second half came underway, and Ken scored 2 goals. The final score was 2-1. After the game, we went to eat. Tai then got a cell call. It was Sora. He said, "Hold on, I got a call. Yeah?" Sora was like, "Hey love, it's me. Did you guys have fun?" Tai said, "Yeah. So what are you guys doing right now?" Sora said, "The girls and I are having a bachelorette party, and we hired strippers for the event." As soon as Tai heard the word, he thought, "Oh no." But he gave the girls permission. He hung up, and said, "Hey TK, you mind if we go to Kari's? I've got a plan." So TK said "Yeah?" Tai whispered, "There's going to be some male strippers at Kari and Sora's bachelorette party." TK was shocked, but he said, "So, continue." Tai continued, "I know some myself, and I hope they would spare us two costumes." TK said, "Are you nuts?" Tai said, "Sometimes crazy works." So TK decided to go with Tai. That's when Davis, Ken and myself decided to give the old squeal to Kari and Sora. I said, "Hey Davis, call Kari up. Tai is planning to do something stupid."

Davis said, "What's he planning to do?" Ken got in and said, "Are they planning to do what I think they're going to do?" I said, "Yeah, they are, Ken." I then gave the plan. "Davis, you call up Kari, and I'll drop Sora a line via my cell. Then, you'll come with me over to Tai's apartment, since that's where the girls will be." We decided to give it a go. I gave Davis my cell, and he said, "Hello? Kari? It's Davis. Listen, Tai and TK are coming over right now, and they're going to be replacing your strippers." I gave Sora a call, and told her the same thing.

Meanwhile, before the two strippers went to Kari's, Tai and TK showed up at the place they worked. Tai explained to TK, "My uncle Dave works here. He owns this place, and I hope he'll give us 2 costumes." The two entered the bar, and Tai said, "Hey, Uncle Dave!" The guard happened to say, "What are you doing here? No one under 21 is supposed to even be in here, so hit the road!" But a voice said, "Easy, Eric, that's my nephew you're talking to." He said, "Oh. Okay, I'll make an exception." Dave then said, "So, I've heard, and congratulations to you two!" Tai said, "Thanks uncle Dave. I was wondering if you have two costumes, one large and one medium." He said, "No prob. I'll tell those Mike and Tim to take the night off, and I'll give you the costumes." He then said, "Mike, Tim, you guys can have the night off." They said, "Sure, Dave." They switched to street clothes, and went off. Dave gave the two their costumes, and they tried them on. They fit perfectly. After that, they said, "Goodbye, Dave." Dave replied with a "See you soon, boys!"

Meanwhile, Davis, Ken and me made a break for Kari's. I said, "Wait until Tai and TK find out." Davis said, "Sure." We then saw Tai's car, and TK and Tai came up to the apartment, wearing two alike Zorro costumes. I couldn't help but laugh, but I kept my mouth shut. Davis and Ken were smiling too, but they wisely shut up. Tai and TK came into Kari's apartment, and I said hi to the girls. Jolene said, "ML, I've got the job!" I gave Jolene a smile that said, "Congrats." Then I regained my composure, and said, "Ladies, meet your entertainment for the night." Tai and TK came in their costumes and said, "Hello, ladies." They began to dance, and the ladies whooped and hollered. They screamed for them to do this one thing: "TAKE IT OFF!" Kari and Sora were the loudest. I then lead Davis and Ken to Tai's room, and said, "Once the girls know, we go back into the living room."

TK and Tai were thinking, "Oh man, this wasn't what we were expecting." They had their backs to each other, and Tai said, "Were you expecting this?" TK said, "Not at all, Tai. It's the like the girls know." Kari and Sora came up to them with very lurid looks on their faces. They came up to their respective fiancé, and managed to take off a few more buttons from the shirt that he was wearing. They were even touching both their chests! Tai then whispered, "You think they had too much to drink?" TK said, "Maybe. Just enjoy the moment!" It was very hard for them to do so. Kari and Sora went for the pants, and were kissing their respective guy's lips, but Tai and TK backed off, and they were saying, "THAT'S ENOUGH!" They ripped off the masks. The girls were shocked, but they started laughing, and said, "You ought to know something!" The guys were like, "What?" Sora then dropped the bomb. "ML and Davis called us up ahead of time and told us of your plan!" I said, "That's right!" Tai said, "ML! What are you doing in my bedroom?" I said, "Checking up my e-mail?" It wasn't good enough, as Tai and TK had that look on their faces. I then told Davis and Ken, "LET'S GET BACK TO THE APARTMENT!" We ran for it. It was almost midnight, and Tai and TK said, "Sorry 'bout that, ML, but we were wondering, why don't we stay at your place?" I said, "Gladly".

The days after, we went to go grab our tuxedos, and the girls came up to grab their dresses. Kari had picked a beautiful white, strapless Vera Wang type gown, while TK grabbed a nice Armani tux. As for Sora, she grabbed a Givenchy gown, while Tai picked up a tuxedo from Tommy Hilfiger. The day before, we stayed a few feet away from the girls, since it was bad luck for the brides to see the grooms before they went to the altar.
