*beep beep beep*
"Oh that must be my watch, 7 already? I guess I better got for my run because I skipped yesterday." Casey said as she rose from her bed and put on her tight jogging shirt and loose sweat pants.
"Hnn Casey where are you going up so early?" Sora questioned still half asleep.
"I'm going for a morning run, I'll be back in like twenty minutes. Go back to sleep."
"Oh ok cya later, don't get lost."
"I won't I've got my cell phone with me, I'll call Mimi's if I need directions."
"Alright I might be up when you get back."
"Ok cya then. Bye." Casey then jogged out of the door. She ran down the flights of stairs to the entrance ot the appartment complex. When she reached the bottom she stretched out her legs and began her run. "I might as well go the park because that's the only place I know how to get to." Casey huffed as she started down the street. While she ran she hummed her new favorite song, Dreams Come True by the hit jpop group S.E.S. When she reached the park she followed the path down to the pond. As she grew closer to the pond she decided to take a short break. Once she hit the grass she did a half flip half forward roll with no hands onto the ground near the pond. When she sat up she edged to the pond and splashed her face with the refreshing water. "Ah that feels good." After a couple minutes enjoying the early morning sun she resumed her run back to Sora's. On her
way back she noticed a familiar person sitting on a bench next to the path. When she got closer she saw it was Izzy. She ran up to the bench and stopped. Not noticing Casey was there Izzy just kept working on his lab top. This annoyed Casey just a little but then she reasured herself that it was probably something important he was working on. She bent down behind Izzy's computer so she was at Izzy's eye level. "Good morning Izzy."
"Ahh! Oh Casey you scarred me!"
"Hehe sorry. I didn't mean to." She said with a smile that made Izzy's heart race.
"It's ok, what are you doing this morning?"
"I'm going for a run, I've got to keep in shape because field hockey starts right after
school starts."
"I see your leg is better today." He said not really looking at her leg but her whole body.
"Yeah Jyou did a nice job bandaging it. What are you doing out here so early?"
"Escaping torture...."
"By what?"
"Oh my mom has a friend over this morning and her daughter was being really annoying. So I escaped while she was in the bathroom. See the daughter's name is Alexandra and she was in my class last year."
"I see but whats so annoying about her?"
"Well I've been told that she has sort of a crush on me, which I can believe because she never leaves me alone. We had most of our classes together last year and she sat near me in some of them, but wherever she sat she always tried to pass me notes. But the thing is I don't really like her because I've got my eyes on someone else." At this Casey's heart dropped.
"Oh that sucks. What are you going to do?"
"I don't know. Hey did Mimi tell you about that dance that's in a couple weeks?"
"Yeah, we were going to go shopping sometime next week. Why?"
"Oh great you get to see me die."
"Huh what?"
"Well Alexandra is going too and my bet is she's is going to follow me around the whole time. I'll probably be so kept up in trying to avoid her that I won't have any fun."
"Oh thats not kool, but you should be able to have a good time with the rest of the gang."
"Most likely not, see if I don't find a date for the dance she's going to ask me I know it. I don't want my mother's friend to think I'm rude by not accepting so I'd have to go with her. And I know for a fact that the group doesn't like her all that much because at one time she tried to steal Matt away from Mimi and Tai away from Sora."
"Oh I bet Mimi didn't like that one little bit."
"Nope."
Casey swallowed hard and said with as much cheer as possible, "Say what about that person you've got your eyes on, would she go to the dance with you?"
"I don't think so, she doesn't even know I like her yet."
"Oh that's to bad. Well we've got to come up with a plan to ditch Alexandra."
"Oh no I don't think you want to be involved in this Casey."
"Sure I do, I love to help a friend." "A friend....." He tought.
"No really I'm ok, I'll just have to take her and make the best out of it."
"Well that's not fair to you, you should go to the dance with the person you want to go with."
"I guess, anyway who are you going to go with?"
"Nobody probably, I don't know enough people."
"You beautiful enough you'll find the right guy to go with."
"You think so?"
"I'm positve."
"Thanks Izzy that was really sweet." Casey said as she stood up. She gave him a friendly kiss on the cheek and started to stretch agian. Izzy just sat there kind of stunned. "She kissed me...." He thought.
"Well bye Izzy I've got to get going, Mimi will think I got lost."
"Bye then cya around Casey." He said comming out of his daze.
"Maybe I'll cya here tomarrow too!" She called from a little ways down the path.
"I'll be here!"
"See you tomarrow then!"
"Bye! Same time!"
"Same time! Bye! And with that she turned around and ran all the way home. When she got back Mimi and Sora were having some tea in the kitchen.
"What took you so long?" Mimi asked as Casey sat down.
"Oh I ran into Izzy and we were talking for a little while."
"Oh I get it." Mimi said with a sly smile on her face.
"Get what?" Casey asked, obviously confused.
Sora picked up on what Mimi was thinking. "Mimi, you don't think?"
"Oh yeah."
"Arg! What?!?!"
"Nevermind. We'll talk about it later."
"Whatever. So anyway what's for breakfast?" Casey asked deciding to forget the subject.
"How's a bagle? They're in the bread box." Sora replied.
"Sounds good to me." Casey said as she stood up and went to the counter, where she was to make her breakfast.
"Hey Sora," Mimi whispered, "What do you think of Casey and Izzy?"
"I think it could so work. But we've got to plan carefully, they're both pretty smart."
"You're right this might get a little tricky." Mimi finished just as Casey sat back down.
"What were you guys whispering about?"
"We were just discussing what to do today." Sora quickly covered up.
"Oh, so what did you decide on?"
"We aren't really sure yet, what do you want to do?"
"I don't really care, but first I have to go take a shower."
"All right, we'll call the guys and see if they want to do anything."
"Ok then I'm off to the shower." With that Casey headed off to the bathroom.
"Perfect!" Mimi almost yelled. "We just might need Matt's and Tais help on this. They can work on Izzy while we work on Casey."
"That's a good idea Mimi. I'll go call Tai."
"And I'll call Matt from my cell phone."
"I'm going to use the kitchen phone, come back out here."
"All righty." Mimi rushed off to their room and grabbed her cell phone. She was just dialing his number when she walked back into the kitchen.
"'Ullo?"
"Good morning sunshine!"
"Oh good morning Mimi. What are you doing calling me so early in the morning, you know I'm not a morning person."
"Sorry hunny but Sora and I need your help."
"Ok..... Now I'm interested."
"Well let's see here, Casey went out for a run this morning and was gone for longer that she said she would be."
"Uh huh."
"When she came back she said that she had gone to the park and she ran into Izzy, so she stopped and said hello. Well she was gone for quite a while so they must have been having some converstion."
"Ok."
"Well, when she got back and told us this it hit me and Sora that they would make a perfect couple."
"Now that I think about it you're right. So I guess you need me to worm out of Izzy who he likes and go from there?"
"You are sooooo smart! Sora is calling Tai right now, so you should call him and devise a plan."
"Good thinking I'll call him in a minute."
"Ok then see you later today?"
"You bet!"
"Good-bye sunshine."
"Bye babe." They both hung up.
"Hey Sora what did Tai think?"
"He thinks it's a good idea, he had to go, Matt was on the other line."
"Good I told him to call and think out a plan."
"There we don't have to worry about Izzy. We can concentrate on Casey. No was there anybody back in America she liked?"
"I don't think so, besides she said she wanted a Digidestined boyfriend."
"Thats good so there's no competition at home. Ok now let's see abou-" Sora was cut of as Casey came out of the bathroom. "Hey Casey."
"Hi."
"We decided to go out to a pixxa place later this afternoon, but only Matt, Tai and Izzy could come."
"Sure that sounds good. I'm just going to get dressed."
"Sure."
"Ok Sora call the boys back and then call Izzy. Wait I'll call Matt you call Tai and Izzy."
"Ok." The girls quickly made their calls and waited for their turns to get dressed. CAsey came out and headed back to the bathroom to do her hair and make-up. When Mimi and Sora came out they did what they needed in the bathroom and deemed themselves ready to go. Mimi was wearing khaki short and a dark blue tanktop. Sora was wearing a red short-sleeved shirt eith a wide neck and a pair of light blue jean shorts.Casey had on a forest green halter top with a little panda and some bamboo and dark blue jean shorts. Her long strawberry-blonde hair was pulled back into a high ponytail with curls at the ends and left her bangs to hang to the right side. Mimi had put her hair in a messy bun and left two strands hanging around her face. Sora left her hair down but added glitter to bring out the highlights.
"Ready girls?" Mimi asked anxiously.
"Ready!" Sora and Casey replied.
"Let's go." The girls headed to the elevator and out of the bluilding ans to a favorite pizza place of the gang's. The boys were already standing outside.
"Hello ladies." Matt greeted.
"Good afternoon all!" Tai followed
"Hi girls." Izzy continued.
"Hi guys." The three girls chimed in together.
"Well shall we go sit down?" Mimi continued, grabbing Matt's arm. Sora did the same. Casey and Izzy just looked at each other, shrugged and followed suit.
"What will everyone be having this afternoon?" The waitress asked.
"Um I think I'll have a cup of tea." Sora replied.
"Me too." Casey followed.
"Make that three." Mimi said.
"Um I guess I'll just have a soda." Tai said unsure of what to have.
"I'll have one too." Matt said.
"I'll just have a glass of water." Izzy replied.
"Ok then I'll be back in a minute." The waitress said walking away from the table.
"So are you guys ready to go horseback riding tomorrow?" Mimi asked.
"I am!" Tai said, "We finally have something to do besides sit around and do nothing all day."
"Yeah you're right." Matt agreed.
"It's been a while since I've been riding." Izzy commented.
"Yeah I haven't been in a couple years myself." Casey jumped in.
"Oh hey Izzy!!" A voice came from behind Mimi.
"Uh oh, hide me!" Izzy said cowering a little beside Casey.
"Don't worry, I think we can handle it." Casey whispered in his ear.
"Oh Izzy dear is that you?"
"Alexandra?" Izzy squeaked. "Hi nice to see you here." Izzy said with sarcasm that everyone but Alexandra noticed.
"What are you doing here Izzy?"
"I'm hanging out with my friends, I'm sure you remember Tai, Matt, Sora and Mimi."
"Oh hello how are you all? And who is that?" She added in quite a rude manner.
"Hello my name is Casey, I'm from the U.S. It's nice to meet you Alex." Casey replied, being a little distant becuase of how rude Alexandra was.
"Oh it's nice to meet you Casey. And by the way my name is Alexandra."
"Oh sorry, I've got a friend at home who goes by the name Alex, silly me you two aren't a thing alike." Casey smirked.
"Oh that's quite ok." Alexandra replied through her teeth. "So Izzy when will you be home today? I wanted to stop by." She said reverting her attention to Izzy, who was beginning to panic. Casey noticed his panic tried to think of an excuse.
"I'm sorry he said he was going to show me around today, right Izzy?"
"Uh yeah! We were going to go out and see the sites. Sorry Alexandra, maybe some other time."
"What if I come too?"
"Well, um...." Izzy stuttered.
"I'm sorry Alex we had this planned in advance and only got a certain amount of tickets for a show we were going to see."
"Oh well then I'll see you later tonight Izzy. Have a good time." She half smiled and walked away.
"Whew! that was too close for comfort. Casey where did you come up with that?"
"Oh just off the top of my head."
"Well you're a lifesaver."
"I try so hard. I'll be right back you guys I'm going to the bathroom."
"Ok." They all said. Casey left to go to the bathroom went in and checked her hair and her make-up. Then as she was touching up her make-up Alexandra walked in.
"Hello Alexandra." Casey said not looking at her.
"Hi, hey Casey can I talk to you?"
"Um ok, what about?"
"I just wanted to know how long you were staying, so you can be out of my hair and away from my Izzy."
"Oh excuse me I didn't know Izzy belonged to someone besides himself." Casey said very cross. "An I'll be here for three more weeks, if you need me I'll be staying at Sora's."
"Oh then your hell has just begun little girl. You won't get close to my Izzy, he's mine and always will be."
"We'll just see about that you insolent little brat." That sent Alexandra over her limit.
"Insolent BRAT!?! Why you!" Alexandra was so mad she slapped Casey across the face. In return she was slapped twice.
"Tag you're it." Casey said with a smirk. "You're weak that didn't even sting."
"Oh believe me my little American trash this isn't over." With that Alexandra stormed out of the bathroom. Casey followed, after she splashed some water on her cheek.
"Uh Casey do you know what that was about?" Matt asked as she sat down.
"What what was about?"
"Well Alexandra just came out of the bathroom took one look at us and continued to storm out of the restaurant."
"Oh that, I wouldn't worry about it. She's been put in her place for now."Casey replied
smiling to herself.
"It looked like her face was red. Do you know anything about that?" Mimi asked.
"Um yeah I do...."
"So?"
"Well I kind of called her a brat and she slapped me so I slapped her double." Casey replied, now kind of feeling bad. "I guess I over stepped my boundaries."
"Nah she'll get over it." Izzy said trying to reasure Casey, but inside he was greatful she
did it. Just then the waitress came back with the order.
"Here ya go kids."
"Thanx." The group ate, drank and talked for a while. Then spilt up for the day, the girls going one way and the guys heading another. After walking about a block the guys heard somebody call Izzy's name.
"Oh shit... Here it comes." Matt sighed.
"I don't know if I can handle this..." Tai said looking up as the foot steps grew closer.
"I've got an idea, on the count of three run for our lives." Izzy said.
"Works for me." Tai agreed.
"Let's go."
"THREE!" Izzy yelled as he took off. Meanwhile heading the other way.
"What the hell was that?" Mimi asked looking back.
"I donno, kinda sounded like Izzy." Sora replied.
" I bet I know what it is....." Casey trailed off, then did a 180 and sprinted off in the other
direction.
"So you think she likes him?" Sora asked.
"Oh hell yes!" Mimi said with over-excitement. Casey sprinted as fast as she could down the street.
"Ooo if she lays one finger on him, I swear I'm going to break all ten!" Casey yelled in her head. The she stopped mid step, "Wait why am I doing this? Can it be, Do I like him, it has to be, but wait I only met him like two days ago! That can't be right. NO NO! I don't know anymore, my head hurts." Casey said as she took a deep breath. "Whats wrong with me? I've never acted like this for a guy before, hell all the guys at my school are dorks, half of them can't even beat me in soccer. I need to take a walk." With that she just started walking , walking to where? She didn't know she was so confused with her emotions she just kept going and going. Somehow after walking for what seemed like hours Casey ended up at the park. "How the.... Why here I'm just going to get even more confused." She walked down to the pond and sat down just looking in the water at the reflection before her. She picked up a rock and threw it into the water. "What am I going to do? The more I think about it the more I think....." A solitary tear of confusion and frustration rolled down her delicate cheek.
"Think of what?" Casey turned around to see none other than Izzy. Casey wiped away the tears form her eyes and covered up.
"I'm just a little homesick thats all."
"Oh that must be rough." Izzy said worried about his new friend. It hurt him to see her in like this. But wait why was he feeling like this, "Oh shit, un uh no." Izzy was conversing with himslef about the same emotions Casey was having difficulty with. He looked at Casey who was starring at the sky, her hair was lighlty blowing in the summer's breeze and her eyes looked like she was trying to hold back her tears. "Oh why fight it...." He thought. Then without hesitation he wrapped his arms around Casey. And to his surpriseshe didn't fight him. She just burried her head into his chest and let her small stream of tears flow. He embraced her until she calmed down.
"Are you all right?" Izzy asked in a soft voice. Casey only nodded, enjoying being close to him.
The two sat together untill it began to get a little chilly.
"I think I sould take you home Cas."
"No that's all right, really I'm ok I can do it myself."
"I think it would be better."
"Ok, if you say so." She waited for Izzy to stand up then stood up. She started to walk but he grabbed her hand.
"What's the rush?" He said as Casey smiled. Meanwhile T.K. and Kari were spying, er really they were on a date and noticed Izzy and Casey by the pond. So they just casually
watched them, while they sat by the pond.
"This is an interesting turn of events eh Kari?"
"Very very interesting." She smiled at him. They decided to stop spying and go home to tell Matt about the news they had found. But they weren't the only ones spying on the confused duo.
***
"I'm going to get that wench, if its the last thing I do...." Alexandra had been stalking Izzy all day. And she stalked Izzy and Casey all the wat back to Sora's place. "So that's where you're staying my pretty......" Alexandra hid behind a tree, and listend in on the
conversation.
"Thank you Izzy." Casey half smiled at him.
"It's ok." Izzy said reluctantly letting go of Casey's hand. "I'll guess I'll see you tomarrow
then, at the park, 7:20 right?"
"Right. See you tomarrow then." Izzy started to walk away when he felt Casey's hand on his. He turned around to look into her emerald green eyes, he was already getting lost in
them. She couldn't fight it, and neither could he. He took her back in his arms and held
her. She pulled back a little and kissed him. Not just any kiss but a kiss with true passion.
At first Izzy was shocked but there was a snowflake's chance in hell he was going to stop.
The pair kissed until they were out of breath. They were both amazed at the other, Casey
amazed that Izzy would actually do that and Izzy amazed at the way Casey could kiss.
They smiled at each other. Neither one of them really wanted to leave but it was getting
late and Casey knew Mimi and Sora would be getting worried if she didn't get back . Izzy
knew his parents were going to be worried if he was't back soon either. All the while
Alexandra burned up with rage and hatred for Casey, she had to think of a plan to get her
away from him. She heeded him to forget Casey just forget her. Alexandra's jealousy was
getting the best of her but she didn't spring upon them, she just quietly stalked away
wanting to be out of there so she didn't throw up.
Izzy lightly kissed Casey on the lips. They both smiled and knew it was time to go.
Izzy turned around and headed to his appartment while Casey headed upstairs. When she
walked in the door Mimi and Sora jumped up.
"Where have you been I was just about to call you!" Mimi exclaimed as she hugged
Casey.
"I'm sorry Mimi I was at the park."
"And why were you at the park?" Sora asked with a small cunning smile on her face.
"Just thinking, I'm just a little homesick thats all."
"Oh ok. Well you missed dinner, sorry we couldn't wait."
"That's ok I'm not that hungry just a little tired."
"You look tired, probably because you were outside all day. You sould go lie down."
Mimi said with a worried look.
"I'm ok, but you're right, I should go lie down." Casey then headed off to the bedroom. She grabbed her labtop and went into her email. She had mail. "I wonder who this is from. Let's see here, two unread meassages. Ok then we have one from Kari and one from Izzy, well I might as well read Kari's first, I wonder how she got my email address, Probably Sora told Tai and Kari wormed it out of him." She laughed at this thought.
________
Hi Casey!
I just wanted to let you know that T.K. and I saw you at the park and wanted to know if you were ok. You didn't look all that happy. Oh and the other thing is we saw you with Izzy, but don't worry your secret is safe with us! ^.~ Well I was just checkin in cya later!
~Kari & T.K.
________
"Oh great she thought." I'll respond to that one later. Let's see what Izzy has to say.
________
Cas,
I don't really know what to say after today, but I would like to say this, will you go to the dance with me? If not I totally understand, but after today I had to try. Well I have to go get back to me as soon as possible.
~Love, Izzy
________
"Oh my god!" Casey said as she hurried to reply to his letter. She quickly sent the letter. Then Casey logged out of her email. She then went to her dresser, put her pajamas on and hopped into her bed. "Good night Izzy." Within minutes she was asleep snuggling her bear named Jim.
*At Izzy's House*
"I hope she accepts... But what about Alexandra? Oh shnitzles! She's gonna be pissed. Oh well it's her problem. Mom!"
"Yes dear?"
"I'm going to bed now I had a long day."
"Ok dear, are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine, just tired."
"Ok then good night sweetie." Izzy closed his door and went to his computer. "I wonder if I got mail. I do! It's from Casey! Yes!" He was so happy. "Let's see here."
________
Izzy,
I don't really know what to say after today either. But I will say yes to your invitation, I would absolutly love to go to the dance with you. But let's keep a low profile with this, right now I don't think we want Mimi and everyone else bugging us about this, we should just keep them in the dark for now. I'm sorry if that seems a little weird but I just don't know how to handle them right now all I need is you.
~Love Always, Casey
________
"Yes! She accepted!"
*knock knock*
"Yeah?"
"Son are you alright in there?"
"Yeah dad I'm fine, I just got an email with some good news."
"Oh ok, well your mother and I are going to bed, try and keep it down."
"Sure Dad I will. Good night."
"Night son." Izzy turned his attention back to his email. "Ok then."
________
Cas-chan,
I think you have the right idea, I don't really need the guys in my hair about this. I already know that T.K. and Kari know about this but I trust them. Well I'm tired and i need to get some sleep for the trip tomarra, maybe we can sit together. Cya around 7:20 and bring your stuff we can leave from my house. Bye. Love you.
~Izzy
________
Izzy then shut his labtop down and plugged in the charger so he could use it tomorrow
with no problems. "Good night Cas." He drifted off to sleep wondering what tomorrow would bring.

*beep beep beep*
"Oh that must be my watch, 7 already? I guess I better got for my run because I skipped yesterday." Casey said as she rose from her bed and put on her tight jogging shirt and loose sweat pants.
"Hnn Casey where are you going up so early?" Sora questioned still half asleep.
"I'm going for a morning run, I'll be back in like twenty minutes. Go back to sleep."
"Oh ok cya later, don't get lost."
"I won't I've got my cell phone with me, I'll call Mimi's if I need directions."
"Alright I might be up when you get back."
"Ok cya then. Bye." Casey then jogged out of the door. She ran down the flights of stairs to the entrance ot the appartment complex. When she reached the bottom she stretched out her legs and began her run. "I might as well go the park because that's the only place I know how to get to." Casey huffed as she started down the street. While she ran she hummed her new favorite song, Dreams Come True by the hit jpop group S.E.S. When she reached the park she followed the path down to the pond. As she grew closer to the pond she decided to take a short break. Once she hit the grass she did a half flip half forward roll with no hands onto the ground near the pond. When she sat up she edged to the pond and splashed her face with the refreshing water. "Ah that feels good." After a couple minutes enjoying the early morning sun she resumed her run back to Sora's. On her
way back she noticed a familiar person sitting on a bench next to the path. When she got closer she saw it was Izzy. She ran up to the bench and stopped. Not noticing Casey was there Izzy just kept working on his lab top. This annoyed Casey just a little but then she reasured herself that it was probably something important he was working on. She bent down behind Izzy's computer so she was at Izzy's eye level. "Good morning Izzy."
"Ahh! Oh Casey you scarred me!"
"Hehe sorry. I didn't mean to." She said with a smile that made Izzy's heart race.
"It's ok, what are you doing this morning?"
"I'm going for a run, I've got to keep in shape because field hockey starts right after
school starts."
"I see your leg is better today." He said not really looking at her leg but her whole body.
"Yeah Jyou did a nice job bandaging it. What are you doing out here so early?"
"Escaping torture...."
"By what?"
"Oh my mom has a friend over this morning and her daughter was being really annoying. So I escaped while she was in the bathroom. See the daughter's name is Alexandra and she was in my class last year."
"I see but whats so annoying about her?"
"Well I've been told that she has sort of a crush on me, which I can believe because she never leaves me alone. We had most of our classes together last year and she sat near me in some of them, but wherever she sat she always tried to pass me notes. But the thing is I don't really like her because I've got my eyes on someone else." At this Casey's heart dropped.
"Oh that sucks. What are you going to do?"
"I don't know. Hey did Mimi tell you about that dance that's in a couple weeks?"
"Yeah, we were going to go shopping sometime next week. Why?"
"Oh great you get to see me die."
"Huh what?"
"Well Alexandra is going too and my bet is she's is going to follow me around the whole time. I'll probably be so kept up in trying to avoid her that I won't have any fun."
"Oh thats not kool, but you should be able to have a good time with the rest of the gang."
"Most likely not, see if I don't find a date for the dance she's going to ask me I know it. I don't want my mother's friend to think I'm rude by not accepting so I'd have to go with her. And I know for a fact that the group doesn't like her all that much because at one time she tried to steal Matt away from Mimi and Tai away from Sora."
"Oh I bet Mimi didn't like that one little bit."
"Nope."
Casey swallowed hard and said with as much cheer as possible, "Say what about that person you've got your eyes on, would she go to the dance with you?"
"I don't think so, she doesn't even know I like her yet."
"Oh that's to bad. Well we've got to come up with a plan to ditch Alexandra."
"Oh no I don't think you want to be involved in this Casey."
"Sure I do, I love to help a friend." "A friend....." He tought.
"No really I'm ok, I'll just have to take her and make the best out of it."
"Well that's not fair to you, you should go to the dance with the person you want to go with."
"I guess, anyway who are you going to go with?"
"Nobody probably, I don't know enough people."
"You beautiful enough you'll find the right guy to go with."
"You think so?"
"I'm positve."
"Thanks Izzy that was really sweet." Casey said as she stood up. She gave him a friendly kiss on the cheek and started to stretch agian. Izzy just sat there kind of stunned. "She kissed me...." He thought.
"Well bye Izzy I've got to get going, Mimi will think I got lost."
"Bye then cya around Casey." He said comming out of his daze.
"Maybe I'll cya here tomarrow too!" She called from a little ways down the path.
"I'll be here!"
"See you tomarrow then!"
"Bye! Same time!"
"Same time! Bye! And with that she turned around and ran all the way home. When she got back Mimi and Sora were having some tea in the kitchen.
"What took you so long?" Mimi asked as Casey sat down.
"Oh I ran into Izzy and we were talking for a little while."
"Oh I get it." Mimi said with a sly smile on her face.
"Get what?" Casey asked, obviously confused.
Sora picked up on what Mimi was thinking. "Mimi, you don't think?"
"Oh yeah."
"Arg! What?!?!"
"Nevermind. We'll talk about it later."
"Whatever. So anyway what's for breakfast?" Casey asked deciding to forget the subject.
"How's a bagle? They're in the bread box." Sora replied.
"Sounds good to me." Casey said as she stood up and went to the counter, where she was to make her breakfast.
"Hey Sora," Mimi whispered, "What do you think of Casey and Izzy?"
"I think it could so work. But we've got to plan carefully, they're both pretty smart."
"You're right this might get a little tricky." Mimi finished just as Casey sat back down.
"What were you guys whispering about?"
"We were just discussing what to do today." Sora quickly covered up.
"Oh, so what did you decide on?"
"We aren't really sure yet, what do you want to do?"
"I don't really care, but first I have to go take a shower."
"All right, we'll call the guys and see if they want to do anything."
"Ok then I'm off to the shower." With that Casey headed off to the bathroom.
"Perfect!" Mimi almost yelled. "We just might need Matt's and Tais help on this. They can work on Izzy while we work on Casey."
"That's a good idea Mimi. I'll go call Tai."
"And I'll call Matt from my cell phone."
"I'm going to use the kitchen phone, come back out here."
"All righty." Mimi rushed off to their room and grabbed her cell phone. She was just dialing his number when she walked back into the kitchen.
"'Ullo?"
"Good morning sunshine!"
"Oh good morning Mimi. What are you doing calling me so early in the morning, you know I'm not a morning person."
"Sorry hunny but Sora and I need your help."
"Ok..... Now I'm interested."
"Well let's see here, Casey went out for a run this morning and was gone for longer that she said she would be."
"Uh huh."
"When she came back she said that she had gone to the park and she ran into Izzy, so she stopped and said hello. Well she was gone for quite a while so they must have been having some converstion."
"Ok."
"Well, when she got back and told us this it hit me and Sora that they would make a perfect couple."
"Now that I think about it you're right. So I guess you need me to worm out of Izzy who he likes and go from there?"
"You are sooooo smart! Sora is calling Tai right now, so you should call him and devise a plan."
"Good thinking I'll call him in a minute."
"Ok then see you later today?"
"You bet!"
"Good-bye sunshine."
"Bye babe." They both hung up.
"Hey Sora what did Tai think?"
"He thinks it's a good idea, he had to go, Matt was on the other line."
"Good I told him to call and think out a plan."
"There we don't have to worry about Izzy. We can concentrate on Casey. No was there anybody back in America she liked?"
"I don't think so, besides she said she wanted a Digidestined boyfriend."
"Thats good so there's no competition at home. Ok now let's see abou-" Sora was cut of as Casey came out of the bathroom. "Hey Casey."
"Hi."
"We decided to go out to a pixxa place later this afternoon, but only Matt, Tai and Izzy could come."
"Sure that sounds good. I'm just going to get dressed."
"Sure."
"Ok Sora call the boys back and then call Izzy. Wait I'll call Matt you call Tai and Izzy."
"Ok." The girls quickly made their calls and waited for their turns to get dressed. CAsey came out and headed back to the bathroom to do her hair and make-up. When Mimi and Sora came out they did what they needed in the bathroom and deemed themselves ready to go. Mimi was wearing khaki short and a dark blue tanktop. Sora was wearing a red short-sleeved shirt eith a wide neck and a pair of light blue jean shorts.Casey had on a forest green halter top with a little panda and some bamboo and dark blue jean shorts. Her long strawberry-blonde hair was pulled back into a high ponytail with curls at the ends and left her bangs to hang to the right side. Mimi had put her hair in a messy bun and left two strands hanging around her face. Sora left her hair down but added glitter to bring out the highlights.
"Ready girls?" Mimi asked anxiously.
"Ready!" Sora and Casey replied.
"Let's go." The girls headed to the elevator and out of the bluilding ans to a favorite pizza place of the gang's. The boys were already standing outside.
"Hello ladies." Matt greeted.
"Good afternoon all!" Tai followed
"Hi girls." Izzy continued.
"Hi guys." The three girls chimed in together.
"Well shall we go sit down?" Mimi continued, grabbing Matt's arm. Sora did the same. Casey and Izzy just looked at each other, shrugged and followed suit.
"What will everyone be having this afternoon?" The waitress asked.
"Um I think I'll have a cup of tea." Sora replied.
"Me too." Casey followed.
"Make that three." Mimi said.
"Um I guess I'll just have a soda." Tai said unsure of what to have.
"I'll have one too." Matt said.
"I'll just have a glass of water." Izzy replied.
"Ok then I'll be back in a minute." The waitress said walking away from the table.
"So are you guys ready to go horseback riding tomorrow?" Mimi asked.
"I am!" Tai said, "We finally have something to do besides sit around and do nothing all day."
"Yeah you're right." Matt agreed.
"It's been a while since I've been riding." Izzy commented.
"Yeah I haven't been in a couple years myself." Casey jumped in.
"Oh hey Izzy!!" A voice came from behind Mimi.
"Uh oh, hide me!" Izzy said cowering a little beside Casey.
"Don't worry, I think we can handle it." Casey whispered in his ear.
"Oh Izzy dear is that you?"
"Alexandra?" Izzy squeaked. "Hi nice to see you here." Izzy said with sarcasm that everyone but Alexandra noticed.
"What are you doing here Izzy?"
"I'm hanging out with my friends, I'm sure you remember Tai, Matt, Sora and Mimi."
"Oh hello how are you all? And who is that?" She added in quite a rude manner.
"Hello my name is Casey, I'm from the U.S. It's nice to meet you Alex." Casey replied, being a little distant becuase of how rude Alexandra was.
"Oh it's nice to meet you Casey. And by the way my name is Alexandra."
"Oh sorry, I've got a friend at home who goes by the name Alex, silly me you two aren't a thing alike." Casey smirked.
"Oh that's quite ok." Alexandra replied through her teeth. "So Izzy when will you be home today? I wanted to stop by." She said reverting her attention to Izzy, who was beginning to panic. Casey noticed his panic tried to think of an excuse.
"I'm sorry he said he was going to show me around today, right Izzy?"
"Uh yeah! We were going to go out and see the sites. Sorry Alexandra, maybe some other time."
"What if I come too?"
"Well, um...." Izzy stuttered.
"I'm sorry Alex we had this planned in advance and only got a certain amount of tickets for a show we were going to see."
"Oh well then I'll see you later tonight Izzy. Have a good time." She half smiled and walked away.
"Whew! that was too close for comfort. Casey where did you come up with that?"
"Oh just off the top of my head."
"Well you're a lifesaver."
"I try so hard. I'll be right back you guys I'm going to the bathroom."
"Ok." They all said. Casey left to go to the bathroom went in and checked her hair and her make-up. Then as she was touching up her make-up Alexandra walked in.
"Hello Alexandra." Casey said not looking at her.
"Hi, hey Casey can I talk to you?"
"Um ok, what about?"
"I just wanted to know how long you were staying, so you can be out of my hair and away from my Izzy."
"Oh excuse me I didn't know Izzy belonged to someone besides himself." Casey said very cross. "An I'll be here for three more weeks, if you need me I'll be staying at Sora's."
"Oh then your hell has just begun little girl. You won't get close to my Izzy, he's mine and always will be."
"We'll just see about that you insolent little brat." That sent Alexandra over her limit.
"Insolent BRAT!?! Why you!" Alexandra was so mad she slapped Casey across the face. In return she was slapped twice.
"Tag you're it." Casey said with a smirk. "You're weak that didn't even sting."
"Oh believe me my little American trash this isn't over." With that Alexandra stormed out of the bathroom. Casey followed, after she splashed some water on her cheek.
"Uh Casey do you know what that was about?" Matt asked as she sat down.
"What what was about?"
"Well Alexandra just came out of the bathroom took one look at us and continued to storm out of the restaurant."
"Oh that, I wouldn't worry about it. She's been put in her place for now."Casey replied
smiling to herself.
"It looked like her face was red. Do you know anything about that?" Mimi asked.
"Um yeah I do...."
"So?"
"Well I kind of called her a brat and she slapped me so I slapped her double." Casey replied, now kind of feeling bad. "I guess I over stepped my boundaries."
"Nah she'll get over it." Izzy said trying to reasure Casey, but inside he was greatful she
did it. Just then the waitress came back with the order.
"Here ya go kids."
"Thanx." The group ate, drank and talked for a while. Then spilt up for the day, the girls going one way and the guys heading another. After walking about a block the guys heard somebody call Izzy's name.
"Oh shit... Here it comes." Matt sighed.
"I don't know if I can handle this..." Tai said looking up as the foot steps grew closer.
"I've got an idea, on the count of three run for our lives." Izzy said.
"Works for me." Tai agreed.
"Let's go."
"THREE!" Izzy yelled as he took off. Meanwhile heading the other way.
"What the hell was that?" Mimi asked looking back.
"I donno, kinda sounded like Izzy." Sora replied.
" I bet I know what it is....." Casey trailed off, then did a 180 and sprinted off in the other
direction.
"So you think she likes him?" Sora asked.
"Oh hell yes!" Mimi said with over-excitement. Casey sprinted as fast as she could down the street.
"Ooo if she lays one finger on him, I swear I'm going to break all ten!" Casey yelled in her head. The she stopped mid step, "Wait why am I doing this? Can it be, Do I like him, it has to be, but wait I only met him like two days ago! That can't be right. NO NO! I don't know anymore, my head hurts." Casey said as she took a deep breath. "Whats wrong with me? I've never acted like this for a guy before, hell all the guys at my school are dorks, half of them can't even beat me in soccer. I need to take a walk." With that she just started walking , walking to where? She didn't know she was so confused with her emotions she just kept going and going. Somehow after walking for what seemed like hours Casey ended up at the park. "How the.... Why here I'm just going to get even more confused." She walked down to the pond and sat down just looking in the water at the reflection before her. She picked up a rock and threw it into the water. "What am I going to do? The more I think about it the more I think....." A solitary tear of confusion and frustration rolled down her delicate cheek.
"Think of what?" Casey turned around to see none other than Izzy. Casey wiped away the tears form her eyes and covered up.
"I'm just a little homesick thats all."
"Oh that must be rough." Izzy said worried about his new friend. It hurt him to see her in like this. But wait why was he feeling like this, "Oh shit, un uh no." Izzy was conversing with himslef about the same emotions Casey was having difficulty with. He looked at Casey who was starring at the sky, her hair was lighlty blowing in the summer's breeze and her eyes looked like she was trying to hold back her tears. "Oh why fight it...." He thought. Then without hesitation he wrapped his arms around Casey. And to his surpriseshe didn't fight him. She just burried her head into his chest and let her small stream of tears flow. He embraced her until she calmed down.
"Are you all right?" Izzy asked in a soft voice. Casey only nodded, enjoying being close to him.
The two sat together untill it began to get a little chilly.
"I think I sould take you home Cas."
"No that's all right, really I'm ok I can do it myself."
"I think it would be better."
"Ok, if you say so." She waited for Izzy to stand up then stood up. She started to walk but he grabbed her hand.
"What's the rush?" He said as Casey smiled. Meanwhile T.K. and Kari were spying, er really they were on a date and noticed Izzy and Casey by the pond. So they just casually
watched them, while they sat by the pond.
"This is an interesting turn of events eh Kari?"
"Very very interesting." She smiled at him. They decided to stop spying and go home to tell Matt about the news they had found. But they weren't the only ones spying on the confused duo.
***
"I'm going to get that wench, if its the last thing I do...." Alexandra had been stalking Izzy all day. And she stalked Izzy and Casey all the wat back to Sora's place. "So that's where you're staying my pretty......" Alexandra hid behind a tree, and listend in on the
conversation.
"Thank you Izzy." Casey half smiled at him.
"It's ok." Izzy said reluctantly letting go of Casey's hand. "I'll guess I'll see you tomarrow
then, at the park, 7:20 right?"
"Right. See you tomarrow then." Izzy started to walk away when he felt Casey's hand on his. He turned around to look into her emerald green eyes, he was already getting lost in
them. She couldn't fight it, and neither could he. He took her back in his arms and held
her. She pulled back a little and kissed him. Not just any kiss but a kiss with true passion.
At first Izzy was shocked but there was a snowflake's chance in hell he was going to stop.
The pair kissed until they were out of breath. They were both amazed at the other, Casey
amazed that Izzy would actually do that and Izzy amazed at the way Casey could kiss.
They smiled at each other. Neither one of them really wanted to leave but it was getting
late and Casey knew Mimi and Sora would be getting worried if she didn't get back . Izzy
knew his parents were going to be worried if he was't back soon either. All the while
Alexandra burned up with rage and hatred for Casey, she had to think of a plan to get her
away from him. She heeded him to forget Casey just forget her. Alexandra's jealousy was
getting the best of her but she didn't spring upon them, she just quietly stalked away
wanting to be out of there so she didn't throw up.
Izzy lightly kissed Casey on the lips. They both smiled and knew it was time to go.
Izzy turned around and headed to his appartment while Casey headed upstairs. When she
walked in the door Mimi and Sora jumped up.
"Where have you been I was just about to call you!" Mimi exclaimed as she hugged
Casey.
"I'm sorry Mimi I was at the park."
"And why were you at the park?" Sora asked with a small cunning smile on her face.
"Just thinking, I'm just a little homesick thats all."
"Oh ok. Well you missed dinner, sorry we couldn't wait."
"That's ok I'm not that hungry just a little tired."
"You look tired, probably because you were outside all day. You sould go lie down."
Mimi said with a worried look.
"I'm ok, but you're right, I should go lie down." Casey then headed off to the bedroom. She grabbed her labtop and went into her email. She had mail. "I wonder who this is from. Let's see here, two unread meassages. Ok then we have one from Kari and one from Izzy, well I might as well read Kari's first, I wonder how she got my email address, Probably Sora told Tai and Kari wormed it out of him." She laughed at this thought.
________
Hi Casey!
I just wanted to let you know that T.K. and I saw you at the park and wanted to know if you were ok. You didn't look all that happy. Oh and the other thing is we saw you with Izzy, but don't worry your secret is safe with us! ^.~ Well I was just checkin in cya later!
~Kari & T.K.
________
"Oh great she thought." I'll respond to that one later. Let's see what Izzy has to say.
________
Cas,
I don't really know what to say after today, but I would like to say this, will you go to the dance with me? If not I totally understand, but after today I had to try. Well I have to go get back to me as soon as possible.
~Love, Izzy
________
"Oh my god!" Casey said as she hurried to reply to his letter. She quickly sent the letter. Then Casey logged out of her email. She then went to her dresser, put her pajamas on and hopped into her bed. "Good night Izzy." Within minutes she was asleep snuggling her bear named Jim.
*At Izzy's House*
"I hope she accepts... But what about Alexandra? Oh shnitzles! She's gonna be pissed. Oh well it's her problem. Mom!"
"Yes dear?"
"I'm going to bed now I had a long day."
"Ok dear, are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine, just tired."
"Ok then good night sweetie." Izzy closed his door and went to his computer. "I wonder if I got mail. I do! It's from Casey! Yes!" He was so happy. "Let's see here."
________
Izzy,
I don't really know what to say after today either. But I will say yes to your invitation, I would absolutly love to go to the dance with you. But let's keep a low profile with this, right now I don't think we want Mimi and everyone else bugging us about this, we should just keep them in the dark for now. I'm sorry if that seems a little weird but I just don't know how to handle them right now all I need is you.
~Love Always, Casey
________
"Yes! She accepted!"
*knock knock*
"Yeah?"
"Son are you alright in there?"
"Yeah dad I'm fine, I just got an email with some good news."
"Oh ok, well your mother and I are going to bed, try and keep it down."
"Sure Dad I will. Good night."
"Night son." Izzy turned his attention back to his email. "Ok then."
________
Cas-chan,
I think you have the right idea, I don't really need the guys in my hair about this. I already know that T.K. and Kari know about this but I trust them. Well I'm tired and i need to get some sleep for the trip tomarra, maybe we can sit together. Cya around 7:20 and bring your stuff we can leave from my house. Bye. Love you.
~Izzy
________
Izzy then shut his labtop down and plugged in the charger so he could use it tomorrow
with no problems. "Good night Cas." He drifted off to sleep wondering what tomorrow would bring.
