_______________________________________
*~A Peaceful Day With Your Boyfriends Stalker: Part2~*
After riding back for about 10 or 15 minutes they reached the clearing leading to the waterfall. And there was Sugar still tied to the tree where she left him. "Oh Sugar I'm sorry!" He looked at her kind of awkward. She could tell he felt sorry and that he was a little scarred of what just happened. "I'm really sorry!" He kind of smiled. "I'm glad you're ok and that you didn't try to run off." Sugar brought his head up to Casey was sitting, she but her hand on his forehead and stroked him gently. "You knew I wanted to be here didn't you?" She wispered so Izzy, who was amazed by all of this, couldn't hear. Sugar tilted his head as if to say, 'Who me? I don' tknow what you're talking about!' That is, if he could talk. "I'm glad you think it's funny." She playfully pushed his head away from hers. For a minute she forgot Izzy was there.
"Uh, Cas?"
"Huh? Yeah Izz?"
"What just went on there?"
"I was just joking around with Sugar."
"Ok?"
"No I can't talk to animals, but I can understand how they feel, by how they act and they look at you. It also works on cute boys like you." She giggled as he blushed.
"Oh I see."
"I guess it's a side effet of having the Crest of Trust."
"So you have the Crest of Trust?"
"Yep." She smiled as she looked up at him."What crest do you have?"
"I have the crest of knowledge." Izzy said as he dismounted. "Want a hand?"
"Sure." Casey began to slide off Cinnamon and was met by Izzy hands at her hips. He blushed at contact. He lifted her off the horse and set her gently on the ground. "Thanks." She smiled at him. "The crest of knowledge eh? That suits you very well." Casey walked to the cliff again and sat down. "Isn't it a nice day?" Casey asked distracted by her thoughts, she fell back and dreamed in the sky. What am I going to do?!? "Oh wait! My camera, these would be some beautiful pitures. Oh and I need one of Sugar."
"Yeah they would be." Izzy said distracted by Casey. Her hair flew gently in the summer breeze as she took out her camera and began to take some shots. Her clothes were pulled back by the wind exposing her figure. Her shirt was tight against her chest and her jeans hugged her hips like they were made just for her. She took some more quick shots then sat down a couple feet from Izzy. Her deep green eyes seemed lost in the woods beyond the waterfall. He wanted to be with her forever. He just wanted to be with her now. But he didn't know how she felt, after she ran off and everything. He stuck his hands in his pockets in the Matt Ishada fashion. He felt something soft and pulled it out of his pocket. Her ribbon. It was a blend of different shades of green and blue. With a white vine of what looked like miniature Clematis folwers. It kind of reminded him of the ocean. He shoved it back into his pocket unsure of what to do with it. 'You can keep it for when...' 'I'll don't want to hurt you!' The thought of her words earlier flashed through his mind. Keep it for when? Then it hit him. For when she leaves. Dammit I'm really naive for someone who has the crest of Knowledge. She's so angelic, I'll miss her smile and everything else about her. Have I really fallen in love so quickly, is this love? What is love? I wouldn't know. I've never had a girlfriend before, is she my girlfriend? Or is she just playing with me? The questions kept running through Izzy's head. They sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity to Izzy. He couldn't think of anything but her. Her emerald greend eyes were just so captivating. They matched the surrounding woods, and were just as easy for him to get lost in. They had a certain sparkle to them too. The sparkle was like the ray of light shining through the canopy of the forest. The light that told you, you were almost to the end of the woods, but you got there just to find a clearing, no exit. Her eyes had that shimmer to them. Izzy thought he had found something to help him figure out her thoughts. No, it was just a clearing, but he was getting closer. But as her expression changed, Izzy became more confused. He knew she was thinking about something, but what? What does she want from me? Could she be homesick again? No it has to be something more significant than that. Izzy had no clue that he was so close to the truth.
What am I going to do?I love him sooooo much but I'm only here for three weeks. Long distance relationships don't work that well. Sure, I had to go and fall for somebody that lives in another country. What's wrong with me?! He's just so perfect. He's smart and funny and everything I wanted. Mimi said he was short but he's like 5 inches taller than I am. Man I must be really short. Hey wait that has nothing to do with this. I've lost my mind! But does he love me? I mean yeah this morning with the holding hands and everything, did he actaully mean it. And before that the one day he walked me home. That was just more than a friendly kiss. He put his heart into that. Then earlier when I kissed him he didn't fight or anything. Then he said 'We'll get our time.' Can I really be that dense? Guess so. I just don't want to hurt him. He might shatter into millions of little pieces. She looked over at Izzy. The breeze played with his already messy hair. He seemed lost in thought. His ebony eyes stared into the infinite sky. Wow, he's so kawaii.... Izzy looked over at Casey. She turned bright red, but managed a smile. He smiled back. He must feel the same ay I do. He's not the type of guy just to fool around with a girl for the fun of it. This is right, I know it is. I don't know him that well, but I'm willing to learn. Go for it Casey what have ya got to loose? We'll figure out a way, together. And deciding on that Casey inched closer to an oblivious Izzy. He was lying down with his eyes closed. She took a long piece of grass and began waving it back and forth under Izzy's nose. He was startled and then he sneezed. Casey giggled while she quickly took a picture of Izzy's funny face. "Sorry I just had to take the opportunity." She laughed.
"We'll see whose going to get the last laugh on this." Izzy said, he jumped on top of her pinning her down. He held her wrists above her head with one hand and tickled her sides with the other. He continued to tickle Casey until she begged for mercy.
"That was unfair! OWCH! My stomach hurts from laughing!"
"Well you started it."
"Ok! I learned my lesson." She gave Izzy a smile that made his heart ache. He wanted to kiss her, touch her soft skin, smell her shinny hair. That day I found her crying at the park, and then when I walked her home. That kiss was unimaginible. Then today back at the barn and the bus and everything, she wasn't palying, neither was I. We just didn't know it. She has to feel the same way, maybe she still doesn't know it yet. Or is she afraid of something? I would never hurt her, if I ever make her shed a single tear, I'd go insane. Then he realized the postion they were in. Izzy blushed and so did Casey, he quickly got off of her.
"Sorry." Izzy looked away.
He's in thought again. I wonder what he's thinking about. Hey, there's only one way to find out! "Hey Izz?"
"Yeah?"
"Watcha thinkin' about? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"To tell you the truth I was thinking.... um.. er..... a....about.... you." He prepared for impact. But he was hit with another type of impact. Casey threw her arms around Izzy's neck, and knocked him flat on his back.
"And to tell you the truth, I've been thinking about you all day." She whispered in his ear. Making him smile.
"I'm glad." He whispered back, as he inhaled the scent of her hair. It smelled like apple and pears mixed together. "I wish this could last forever..."
"Forever is not long enough." The two sayed like that for some time. In each other's arms, neither one wanting to let go. Casey had almost fallen asleep when her watch beeped. "What?" She looked at her watch.
"It's already 2 o'clock! Izzy, ya awake?"
"Yeah I've been awake the whole time. We should get going the other's might get worried."
"Good Idea." The two got up and packed up their things.
"Izzy can I get a better picture of you? The other one before was just a joke."
"Sure." Izzy stood near his horse and smiled.
"There." She smiled at him. Mounting their horses the began to descend the trail down to the fork, then to the lake. It was a 40 minute ride back down.
~**~**^.^**~**~
"Oh you guys are no help!"
"Let it go Alex, you might never get him, they could be destined to be together. Just take a look at the way he looks at her."
"I'd rather not, I prefer to keep my meals in my stomach, besides it would give us away when I ralphed. And don't call me Alex, 'she' called me that."
"You'll be with him one way or another, one way or another." Brad said looking at the canopy above them. They sat there and kept discussing their plans over and over so there would be no foul ups.
"We'll start on the bus, if we don't get it there....."
~*~*^ - ^*~*~
All the while they guys down at the lake were wondering where Casey and Izzy were.
"Where are those two?" Mimi asked very exasperated.
"They're ok Mimi." Kari said with a smile on her face.
"Ok Kari what do you know?" Sora glared at the younger girl.
"Oh nothing."
"Spill it Kari, or we'll just have to get it out of T.K." Yolei glanced over at T.K. with a devilish smile. Kari got up and ran in front of him. T.K. Cowered behind her.
"Ok! ok! I'll spill. But just don't say you got it from me!"
"Deal."
"Ok what exactly do you want to know?"
"Well what do you know?"
"I know how Casey and Izzy really feel for each other, even though they don't. Kind of like me and T.K. but I think they have something more."
"I KNEW IT!" Mimi exclaimed. "Those two are very sneaky but not sneaky enough."
"I get it!" Sora chimed in. "With the early morning stuff and the, OH I GET IT!" (A/N: She's a little slow.... no flames, I just don't like the girl....)
"Now we can just get them to tell us themselves we can hook them up, without them having to worry about being so secrative. We'll start be letting them sit together on the bus."
"You guys i really don't think we should mess with this." Kari said, but got ignored.
"Can I sit with Ken this time?"
"Sure babe." Ken walked up and emabraced her from behind. He sat down behind her and she leaned back into him.
"You make a good pillow." Yolie smiled up at Ken, who leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"What about me?!" Davis snorted, disgusted by the acts of affection.
"You can sit with me." Cody said. "Or I can sit with Jyou and you can sit by yourself."
"I'll take the second option."
"Suit yourself." Cody shrugged.
"So where are the newly weds?" Matt asked sarcastically.
"Who knows with those two. Probably talking on the computer, knowing Izzy." Tai joked.
"I don't think we should mess with this, you guys." Kari repeated.
"Why?" Tai looked quizically at his sibling.
"I don't think they know it yet, yeah sure they've had their moments, but i think they're still confused about themselves and the other and the relationship." Jyou thought for a minute as did the rest of the gang.
"I think Kari is right guys." Jyou spoke up. "Izzy isn't as good with girls as he is with computers."
"And from what I've seen, Casey really only treats guys like friends, or as teamates." Davis added in.
"Ok then, we'll let them do it their way, but they still get to sit together on the bus." Mimi concluded. Just then Izzy and Casey came down the trail.
"Quick everybody play dumb, like you don't know what's going on between them." Kari whispered.
"That shouldn't be hard for Davis." Cody joked.
"Yeah no problem! Hey wait!" Davis realized he was being made fun of. Everyone broke out into laughter. Casey and Izzy tied up their horses and walked over to the group. They sat down next to each other.
"So how was the trail, your guys were gone for quite a while." T.K. asked.
"It was beautiful." Casey replied. "The waterfall is breath taking." She smiled.
"See Tai, I told you we should have gone that way." Sora snickered.
"Well I'm sorry." Tai said in a not-so-nice tone. He got up and started to walk away.
"TAI! Wait I was just kidding. Wait up, I'm sorry!" Sora ran after him. (A/N: Sora, Sora, what am I going to do with you? Never hurt a goggle boy's pride! duh!)
"I swear they're like an old married couple." Matt said. "Either that or he's got male PMS." (A/N: dont' worry there is no such thing.)
"We could say the same for you and Mimi." Jyou joked.
"What did you say!?!"
"Uh oh."
"Quick Jyou, run!" Mimi yelled, but he was already up and running. Everyone laughed.
"I'm going to go for a walk." Cody announced.
"I'll go with you." Mimi said. They got up and left, leaving only Kari, T.K., Izzy, Casey and Davis.
"Sure as soon as we get here everyone leaves." Izzy said.
"Not to be mean but T.K. and I are going to go for a walk as well." Kari said feeling kind of bad.
"I'm going too!!" Davis announced. *everybody sweatdrop*
"Why don't we all just go? If that's ok with you two?" Casey suggested.
"Sure why not." T.K. answered.
"That's ok by me." Kari replied. They all got up and walked down to the lake. When they got there Kari and Casey took of their shoes so they could walk in the water. The two girls were chatting about when they were going to go shopping. The boys were just walking. Davis stopped to tie his shoe and the others got a little further ahead. Since Davis wasn't looking T.K. grabbed Kari's hand. When Davis was finished he got up and began to run to catch up with the group. He saw T.K. and Kari holding hands, and he got mad. He began to sprint. He lunged at T.K. but Casey was there instead. He stopped dead in his tracks. She had heard his footsteps and turned around. She told the other guys to keep going and not to pay attention to what was going on. She saw the look in his eyes and automatically new what the problem was.
"Get out of my way Casey."
"No Davis. I know how you feel but this isn't the answer, just let them be."
"How can you know how it feels? Just leave me alone."Casey calmly walked up to Davis so they were only about two feet apart.
"Just trust me Davis, I know, believe me you don't want to hear the story."
"But if you know how I feel then why won't you let me do what I have to?"
"Because I did it that way, and it didn't get me anywhere." Davis turned away, he was still raging with anger. He tried to get around Casey but he couldn't, she was too fast.
"Casey get out of my way!!"
"No! Davis I won't." Then unexpectedly Davis shot a punch at Casey hitting her square in the stomach. Casey fell to one knee. "Feel better?" She asked looking up at him. He was facing away from her. She could tell he was crying, but he wasn't satisfied just yet. He began to run again. Casey whirled around and began after him despite the pain she felt. She quickly caught up it him and tripped him causing both him and her to fall into the water. "Cool off Davis, just let her go, I'll help you get over Kari." Casey was kneeling in the water peering down at Davis who had his hands over his eyes.
"Y...you will?" He uncovered his face showing teary eyes.
"Mmm hmm." She smiled down at him. To her surprise he gave her a hug "Now do you feel better?"
"Yeah, just don't tell them I was crying."
"No problem. Come on I'll race you to catch up. Just don't look at Kari, keep talking with me or Izzy."
"Ok. Ready set go!" Davis was off and running. Casey got up and followed still in a little pain, but she made it a neck and neck race and let Davis win.
"Ok! Ok! Davis you're a better soccer player." Davis looked puzzled for a second then caught on.
"See I told you so!" He beamed. They both laughed.
"Sorry to interupt, but Casey can I talk to you?" Kari kind of giggled.
"Sure."
"Uh Casey, do you know what color shirt you're wearing?" Kari whispered in her ear.
"Uh yeah, it's white............ and it's wet and that's not a good thing." Casey blushed folding her arms across her chest.
"Hey Izzy why don't you give Casey your shirt?" T.K. whispered. Without another thought Izzy took off his green button up shirt that he was wearing over an orange t-shirt and put it on Casey's shoulders. Her blush deepened. "Uh thanks." He smiled.
"I think we should get going back." Davis looked at his D3 for the time. "Doesn't the bus leave at four?"
"Yeah youre' right, it's already three. It'l take like a half hour to get everybody on." Casey said checking her watch. "Let's go." They turned around and walked back to the horses. Everyone else was already waiting there.
"Davis, Casey what happened to you two?" Mimi asked looking at the two wet Digidestined.
"We kinda got in a little fight and got a little wet in the process." Davis explained.
"Ok, why is Casey wearing Izzy's shirt?" Jyou asked
"Becase my tanktop is white." She blushed again. Jyou blushed for asking the question. "Anyway we should be getting back to the bus."
"Yeah she's right." Tai said. "Mount up soldiers!" *everyone sweatdrop*
"Wait I want to get a picture!"Kari announced. "Come on! Casey you there! Davis over there! Cody stand there! There Perfect!"
"Hey Izzy?"
"Yeah Cas?"
"My head hurts, can I ride with you, I'm not sure I'm up to riding by myself."
"Hey Cas? What's the matter?" Mimi asked in a concerned voice.
"Hmm? Oh I'm not feeling that well."
"Ya gonna be ok?"
"Yeah just have a head ache and my stomach hurts a little." Davis froze when heard this. Man that's twice. I've gotta pay her back.
When Kari got her Camera set up and on the stand so she could be in the picture, Izzy and Casey were all the way on the left on Cinnamin with Casey sitting sidesaddle facing toward the middle in front of Izzy who was hugging her from behind. Next to them on horseback was Yolei and Ken sitting with Yolei in front of Ken but she was facing forward and Ken's head was on her shoulder. Next to them was Matt and Mimi sitting the same way as Izzy and Casey only Mimi was facing the other way. Tai and Sora were standing in front of Matt and Mimi. With Sora's horse standing sideways next to Mimi's. T.K. and Kari were standing with T.K.'s horse in front of Casey and Izzy. Jyou, Cody and Davis were all in the middle with Davis' horse who was lying down.
"Everybody set?" Kari made the final adjustments and quickley ran to her place. "Smile everbody!" Then they all got on their own horses and set off for the barn. They all chatted and teased each other on the way back. Upon arrival they met an unexpected 'surprise.'
"Izzy!" Everyone froze. Only one person had that voice.
"Oh no, it can't be." Mimi sighed. Just then Alexandra came out of the barn no longer in disguise as 'Ami.' Her long balck hair flew behind her as she walked toward the unsuspecting group. She was followed by her three friends Marron, Ayumi, Kyleen and her brother Brad. (Who was no longer 'Yuhi.') Casey cringed, not looking up from where she was happily placed.
"Oh Izzy dear! Funny running into you here!"
"Uh yeah. Sorry Alexandra we can't talk now, the bus will be hear soon and one of my friends isn't feeling well."
"Hello Casey dear how are you doing?"
"I've been better." She weakly grinned at Alexandra. Alexandra relished in Casey's pain. Izzy noticed that Casey's grip was slowly getting weaker. He slipped off the horse and gently pulled Casey off too.
"Hey Sora, would you put these two away for me?"
"Yeah sure, is Casey alright?"
"She'll be ok." Before Sora walked away Sugar put his nose in Casey's face.
"I'll miss you too. I'll come visit next time I'm in town." She smiled at the horse and gave him a kiss on the snout. He nibbled at her nose and then turned away with Sora. Everyone else went to the other barn with their horses except Mimi she stayed behind with Casey and Izzy.
"Hey Cas, you told me you were going to be ok. Now look at you." Casey playfully punched Mimi's arm.
"I'm fine, I'm tougher than I look." She smiled at Mimi. Mimi smiled back.
"Want some water?"
"Yeah sure, thanx Mimi."
"I don't mean to interrupt the friends, but the bus is here." Alexandra pointed out in an angry tone. She doesn't like to be ignored. "Izzy who are you sitting with?"
"I sat with Cody on the way up. Why?"
"Ok then Cody won't mind if you sit with me on the way back." She grinned at Casey, who was only listening.
"Use me as an excuse." Casey whispered in Izzy's ear.
"Sorry Alexandra Casey wants me to sit with her and make sure she's ok on the trip." He replied not showing his relief.
"Oh, ok. I'll just sit near you then." Just then all the other guys came back from the barn.
"Come on gang let's get on the bus!" Davis yelled. They all walked up to the bus and got on. Everyone crowded Alexandra and her frinds out, so they were the last ones to get on the bus. The DD went to the back of the bus and picked out their seats. Everyone said Davis could have one of the back seats because he was sitting alone. They all just put their bags and things into the empty seat beside him. Across from Davis sat Izzy on the outside and Casey on the inside. Matt and Miimi sat in front of them and Tai and Sora across from Mimi and Matt. Infront of Tai and Sora were T.K. and Kari. Yolei and Ken sat across from them with Jyou and Cody in front of them. Then Alexandra and her friends got on the bus.
"Izzy where are you? Any available seats by you?"
"I'm in the back and no I don't think there are any."
"Davis is that you? Who are you sitting with?"
"Myself, and some bags."
"Can I sit with you?" Davis looked over at Casey and Izzy who both shook their heads.
"Lemme think about thisssss, no! Sorry Alex."
"Don't call me that!!" Davis snickered at her. She reluctantly sat a couple seats in front Jyou and Cody with her friends. "Well that plan failed, we'll just have to wait until we get home. Then we'll get her."
"I'm sure." Kyleen said in a sarcastic tone.
~**~~^.^~~**~
Everbody was talking about what a great time they had today. Kari was taking more pictures. She had one of Ken and Yolei, Matt and Mimi, Sora and Tai and of T.K. and herself. She also had a little group shot of Davis and Tai and another of Jyou and Cody. In the back things were less active. Casey still wasn't feeling good.
"Hey Cas are you alright?"
"I'll live. I just have a moster head ache."
"You sure?"
"Yeah I'm sure." She closed her eyes in attempt to rest hoping her head ache would go away. Just after she closed here eyes she felt something on her hand. She opened her eyes and saw Izzy's hand on top of hers. She turned her hand over and the two interlocked fingers. Casey leaned over so her head was resting on Izzy's shoulder. She looked up at him and he smiled down. She closed her eyes again and Izzy gave her a light kiss on the top of her head. Then he leaned back and closed his eyes as well. Everyone in front of them hadn't really noticed the two becasue they were so quiet. That didn't last long.
"Hey Davis." Mimi whispered. "Go in Casey's bag and get her camera, then give it to me."
"Ok, which bag is her's?"
"The white one."
"Ok, here you go."
"Thanx."
"Hey Kari! Get a picture of this." Kari tunred around and smiled at what she saw.
"Oh how cute." First she took a picture using her camera, then she took Casey's from Mimi and shot one with that. "She's gonna be surprised to find that when she develops these."
"Oh yeah. Davis here put it back in the bag exactly where you found it."
"Will do." The bus ride back was uneventful. Kari was still at it with her camera. While on the way back the group decided they were going to go out for dinner, after they all went home and cleaned up.
~**~*~:P~*~**~
"Hey Izzy, dude wake up."
"What is it Davis?"
"We're back."
"Oh ok. Thanks man."
"Sure." Davis said as he started to hand out bags, then got up to leave.
"Hey Cas, wake up."
"Hmm are we back already?"
"Yep. How are you feeling?"
"Better thanx." She smiled at him. "We should go." Izzy got up and handed Casey her bag. He also let her out in front of him. Then they got off the bus.
"Oh Davis told me that the guys decided to go out for dinner after a short break to go home and change."
"That's sounds good to me. Cya later then." Casey gave Izzy a quick kiss in the cheek and went to find Sora and Mimi.
"Bye." Izzy said as he looked for Davis who's appartment was on the way back to his. "Hey Davis want to walk with me?"
"Sure, bye guys cya in a little while." The two boys started the walk home. "So Izzy what's up with you and Casey?" Davis teased.
"What do you mean?" Izzy tried not to look nervous.
"Ok, what happerned while you guys were on the trail?"
"Nothing Davis we talked and rode."
"Ok then what's this?!?!" Davis said as he snatched the part of Casey's ribbon that was hanging out of Izzy's pocket.
"What does it look like?"
"A girls hair ribbon that's what."
"There now you know what it is."
"But why do you have it?"
"Um um um um............"
"Lemme guess it's Casey's?" Izzy nodded. "Oh you sly devil!"
"It's not like that Davis! The wind blew it out of her hair and I cought it."
"Why didn't you give it back?"
"She said I didn't have to."
"Ok man I believe you. Well here's my stop cya later."
"Hey Davis, the ribbon?"
"Oh here man. Cya in a little while. You know where to go right?"
"Yeah cya in a while." And with that Davis dissappeared into his appartment builing. Izzy looked at the ribbon and stuffed it back into his pocket. "Better get moving."
****
Meanwhile at Sora's
"So Casey did you have fun today?" Sora asked.
"I had a blast!"
"Me too. That was a lot of fun."
"So Casey what's up between you and Izzy?" Mimi asked with a sly smile on her face.
"Nothing, we're friends."
"Yeah and I'm the Queen of England."
"Your Highness.." Casey swept into a deep bow, Mimi threw one of her shoes at Casey, "ok ok! I like him, there happy?"
"Does he know that?"
"I think I made it pretty clear."
"Casey and Izzy sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!" Sora and Mimi began to sing but Casey threw pillows at the both of them.
"You hypocrites! You both have boyfriends leave me alone!"
"Ok ok we'll leave you alone. I'm going to wash up, I'll use my mom's bathroom, you guys take turns in the other."
"Ok Sora. Mimi why don't you go first."
"Ok Cas. I'll try not to be long."
"Get going. I'll pick out what I'm gonna wear."
"Dress to impress!"
"Go away!" Casey threw her last pillow just as Mimi closed the door. Man those guys are annoying! Casey thought as she went to her dresser. Dress to impress, ha. I'm going for a little less than that. She worked her way through the drawers picking out stuff she might wear. She finally decided on a tight black shirt with a wide neck that sat very low on her soulders and sleeves that flared out at the end. With that she decided to wear low-cut light blue flare jeans.
That should do. just then Mimi came back in.
"Watcha gonna wear?"
"You'll find out when I get out of the bathroom." And with that she left Mimi in the room to decide what she was going to wear. Let's see what do I want to wear tonight? Oh I know! Mimi thought as she practically ran to her closet. This is perfect and brand new! I'm gonna knock some socks off!
"Mim what the hell are you doing?" Sora asked as she walked in to the room almost being hit by some article of clothing Mimi was throwing.
"Looking for my outfit for tonight."
"And making our room a disaster area."
"Yeah that too." She was now rumaging through the drawers. "Ah I got it!" She pulled out a deep burgandy halter top that had a diamond shape cut out starting an inch under the top of the shirt and went down to the top of her chest.
"Ooooo revealing." Sora mused.
"You got it!" She winked at Sora. "What are you going to wear?"
"I think I have just the jeans but I'm not sure on the shirt." Sora said as she walked to her closet and pulled out a pair of jeans that were dark blue. They were flares and had a low cut waist-line.
"Those are cool! Let's see since they're a dark blue you should wear a light colored top. How about this?" Mimi pulled out a light yellow spaghetti strap tank. It had light blue sparkly (AN: great word ne?) butterflies flying across the front.
"It's wonderful! Are you sure you want me to wear it?"
"Yes actually I bought it for you."
"Thanks Mimi! I love it!" Sora gave Mimi a hug.
"Your welcome."Just then Casey walked back in all ready to go.
"That was fast."
"Nice outfit!" Sora ran over to Casey admiring the shirt and pants.
"Wow Casey I didn't think you would ever wear something like that!" Mimi teased.
"This just goes to show you that us jocks can be feminine too." She grinned.
"I love your hair too!" Mimi changed the subject.
"It's just French braided pigtails...."
"But you wove a green ribbon in with it! It loooks really kool!"
"I could do it with your hair too, if you want."
"Do you have a burgany ribbon?"Mimi asked looking at her shirt.
"I have every color under the sun come on, let Sora get dressed." The two girls walked out and into the bathroom. Within the next twenty minutes the girls were ready to go. Casey had done Mimi's hair that same way as her's; two French braids and burgany ribbon with two light strands of hair framing her face. Sora had put in two low pigtails with a clip on either side. With her burgandy shirt Mimi wore very dark blue jeans. Grabbing money and their bags the three girls walked out of the house and to the meeting place.
"I think we're just in time." Sora said as she glanced at her watch.
"Hey, I thought you girls would be late." Tai teased. In return he got a playful punch from Sora.
"So whose missing?" They looked around. Kari, T.K., Jyou, Matt, Tai, Kan and Yolei were all there.
"I guess just Davis and Izzy." Jyou pionted out. "Cody called and said he couldn't come, it was too late."
"Davis probably got lost." Matt mumbled.
"Lost eh?" They tunred aroung to see Izzy and Davis standing there huffing and puffing.
"Sorry man, I was just kidding." Matt turned away.
"What happened to you two?" Mimi asked as the two caught their breath.
"We had to run, from..... from..... IT!" Davis joked.
"He means Alexandra." Izzy corrected. Casey frowned, Damn that girl she never gives up!
"Well should we go eat?" Kari asked. Everyone agreed and they went inside. They all sat at one big table, thinking about what to order.
"What can I get you kids tonight?" The waitress asked.
"I'll have a chicken salad." Mimi responded.
"Mee too." Kari agreed.
"I'll have a hamburger with fries please." Tai answered.
"Double that." Davis handed the waitress his menu.
"Make mine a cheeseburger." Jyou added.
"I'll have a cheeseburger too." Matt decided
"I'll have a chicken sandwich." Sora said folding up the menu.
"I'll have a BLT (Bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich)." Ken answered.
"I'll have the soup please." Izzy concluded.
"Make that two." Yolei agreed.
"And for you Miss?" The waitress said pointing at Casey.
"Oh, I'll just have some water."
"Not hungry?" Mimi asked her when the waitress left.
"Still not feeling that well." She rubbbed her temples. "I think I'll go get some fresh air." She got up and walked towards the door.
"Izzy go see if she's alright." Davis poked Izzy.
"I'm sure she's fine." He looked away knowing he should go out,
"Fine I'll go." Davis got up and followed Casey.
"Hey Izzy, what's up with you?" Matt whispered looking perplexed.
"I don't know.... I'll go out in a minute......" Izzy wavered, "Besides, I think Davis has something to discuss with Cas."
"You ok with that?"
"Yeah, I trust them both."
~~Meanwhile Outside~~
Davis walked out the restaurant door and looked for Casey. He saw her sitting on a bench a little ways from the doors.
"Hey Casey, you alright?"
"Oh Davis, yeah I'm fine."
"You don't look that fine to me, you're as white as a ghost." He went over and sat down next to her. She sat there hunched over with her head in her hands trying to relieve her head ache. Davis rubbed her back trying to make her feel better. "Maybe Jyou has something with him for that head ache of yours, I'll go see." He got up but Casey grabbed his hand.
"Thank you Davis, you're a really good friend."
"Thanks. I try." With that he began to leave again.
"Send Izzy out would you?"
"Sure." He ran back into the restaurant.
"Hey Jyou do you have anything for a head ache with you?"
"Yeah," he rummaged throught his bag. " Here you go."
"Thanks, hey Izzy grab your water bottle and come with me." Izzy shruged and follwed Davis out of the restaurant. When they got outside they saw Casey lying on the bench. It appeared that she was having trouble breathing.
"Casey!?!" Izzy sprinted over to the bench. "Casey, Casey wake up!!"
"What? I am awake....." She trailed off.
"Sit up and have some water." Davis suggested. Both boys sat on either side of her and helped her sit up so she could take the medicine. She downed the medicine and some of the water.
"That's it I'm taking you home." Izzy stood up.
"WE're taking you home." Davis corrected.
"No!, You guys got eat and have fun. I'll walk myself home. See I'm fine." She stood up took a step and fell back onto the bench. NO! I want them to have fun I can do this! She tried again. This time she stood up and began the walk home. She was past the restaurant entrance when she felt really dizzy. He visoin began toblur and she couldn't really hear anything. She contiuned to walk so not to draw any attention to herself. Placing her and on the walk next to her she stopped. Now she couldn't see anything. She faced the wall and leaned against it. "Izzy? Davis? Where are you guys?" she whispered. She didn't know that they had been walking behind her the whole time. She began to fall backwards, only to be caught by Izzy.
"Silly girl, you didn't listen to us." Izzy whispered in her ear. "Davis, would you go get our stuff? I think we really need to take Casey home, she's passed out."
"Um, sure." Davis ran back inside to grab the bags.
"Hey Davis what's up?" Ken and T.K. asked at the same time.
"Casey needs to go home Izzy and are going to walk her."
"Ok man, what about your food?"
"Don't worry here's the money for mine and Izzy's food." He handed the money to Matt. "I'll be back in a little while."
"Alright then. Matta nee."
"We'll be back early." Mimi said with a worried look.
"Tell her to get better." Kari smiled. With that Davis ran back out the door to where Izzy was standing with Casey.
"Davis hold her for a second." Izzy truned away from them. "Put her on my back it'll be the easiest way to carry her."
"Ok." He picked Casey up and set her on Izzy's back. They set off to Sora's appartment.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
About half way there Izzy had to take a break. "I'll carry her if you want." Davis offered.
"If you want to." Izzy handed Casey to Davis. Davis picked her up effortlessly and carried her the remaining distance to the appartment.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~
"Here we are finally." Izzy said.
"Ok now how do we get in?"
"A key duh." Izzy thought for a second. "But where is it? It's gotta be in her bag."
"I'll check, just hope she doesn't mind."
"Wait...... no... it's in my pocket." Casey said into Davis' shirt. Davis gently put her down. She reached in her pocket and handed it to Izzy. She smiled at him. Izzy opened the door and turned on the light.
"Thanx Davis I can handle it from here."
"Ok Izzy. I'll talk to you later."
"Thanks again Davis." Casey gave him a quick hug before Izzy picked her up and carried her into the house like a princess. Casey smiled at Davis over Izzy's shoulder then put her head down. Davis turned around and headed back to the restaurant. I hope she feels better.
"Davis is a good kid, and a good friend." Casey said as Izzy put her on the couch.
"He's not like that all the time, you must have some effect on him." Casey was about to protest but she felt light headed again.
"I'll be allright Izzy you can go now, I'm a big girl ya know." She said flashing him a childish grin.
"I'll wait till your in bed and ready to sleep." He leaned down to help her up but she pulled him down on the couch next to her.
"I'm comfy right here..." She laid her head on his shoulder again. All she could hear was Izzy's steading breathing. Once again she was sleeping away. Izzy gently grabbed the blanket from the end of the couch and laid Casey on the couch to sleep. He placed the lanket on her sleeping form.
"Good night Angel." He kissed her lightly on the lips and went to the kitchen to wait for Mmi and Sora to get home.

_______________________________________
*~A Peaceful Day With Your Boyfriends Stalker: Part2~*
After riding back for about 10 or 15 minutes they reached the clearing leading to the waterfall. And there was Sugar still tied to the tree where she left him. "Oh Sugar I'm sorry!" He looked at her kind of awkward. She could tell he felt sorry and that he was a little scarred of what just happened. "I'm really sorry!" He kind of smiled. "I'm glad you're ok and that you didn't try to run off." Sugar brought his head up to Casey was sitting, she but her hand on his forehead and stroked him gently. "You knew I wanted to be here didn't you?" She wispered so Izzy, who was amazed by all of this, couldn't hear. Sugar tilted his head as if to say, 'Who me? I don' tknow what you're talking about!' That is, if he could talk. "I'm glad you think it's funny." She playfully pushed his head away from hers. For a minute she forgot Izzy was there.
"Uh, Cas?"
"Huh? Yeah Izz?"
"What just went on there?"
"I was just joking around with Sugar."
"Ok?"
"No I can't talk to animals, but I can understand how they feel, by how they act and they look at you. It also works on cute boys like you." She giggled as he blushed.
"Oh I see."
"I guess it's a side effet of having the Crest of Trust."
"So you have the Crest of Trust?"
"Yep." She smiled as she looked up at him."What crest do you have?"
"I have the crest of knowledge." Izzy said as he dismounted. "Want a hand?"
"Sure." Casey began to slide off Cinnamon and was met by Izzy hands at her hips. He blushed at contact. He lifted her off the horse and set her gently on the ground. "Thanks." She smiled at him. "The crest of knowledge eh? That suits you very well." Casey walked to the cliff again and sat down. "Isn't it a nice day?" Casey asked distracted by her thoughts, she fell back and dreamed in the sky. What am I going to do?!? "Oh wait! My camera, these would be some beautiful pitures. Oh and I need one of Sugar."
"Yeah they would be." Izzy said distracted by Casey. Her hair flew gently in the summer breeze as she took out her camera and began to take some shots. Her clothes were pulled back by the wind exposing her figure. Her shirt was tight against her chest and her jeans hugged her hips like they were made just for her. She took some more quick shots then sat down a couple feet from Izzy. Her deep green eyes seemed lost in the woods beyond the waterfall. He wanted to be with her forever. He just wanted to be with her now. But he didn't know how she felt, after she ran off and everything. He stuck his hands in his pockets in the Matt Ishada fashion. He felt something soft and pulled it out of his pocket. Her ribbon. It was a blend of different shades of green and blue. With a white vine of what looked like miniature Clematis folwers. It kind of reminded him of the ocean. He shoved it back into his pocket unsure of what to do with it. 'You can keep it for when...' 'I'll don't want to hurt you!' The thought of her words earlier flashed through his mind. Keep it for when? Then it hit him. For when she leaves. Dammit I'm really naive for someone who has the crest of Knowledge. She's so angelic, I'll miss her smile and everything else about her. Have I really fallen in love so quickly, is this love? What is love? I wouldn't know. I've never had a girlfriend before, is she my girlfriend? Or is she just playing with me? The questions kept running through Izzy's head. They sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity to Izzy. He couldn't think of anything but her. Her emerald greend eyes were just so captivating. They matched the surrounding woods, and were just as easy for him to get lost in. They had a certain sparkle to them too. The sparkle was like the ray of light shining through the canopy of the forest. The light that told you, you were almost to the end of the woods, but you got there just to find a clearing, no exit. Her eyes had that shimmer to them. Izzy thought he had found something to help him figure out her thoughts. No, it was just a clearing, but he was getting closer. But as her expression changed, Izzy became more confused. He knew she was thinking about something, but what? What does she want from me? Could she be homesick again? No it has to be something more significant than that. Izzy had no clue that he was so close to the truth.
What am I going to do?I love him sooooo much but I'm only here for three weeks. Long distance relationships don't work that well. Sure, I had to go and fall for somebody that lives in another country. What's wrong with me?! He's just so perfect. He's smart and funny and everything I wanted. Mimi said he was short but he's like 5 inches taller than I am. Man I must be really short. Hey wait that has nothing to do with this. I've lost my mind! But does he love me? I mean yeah this morning with the holding hands and everything, did he actaully mean it. And before that the one day he walked me home. That was just more than a friendly kiss. He put his heart into that. Then earlier when I kissed him he didn't fight or anything. Then he said 'We'll get our time.' Can I really be that dense? Guess so. I just don't want to hurt him. He might shatter into millions of little pieces. She looked over at Izzy. The breeze played with his already messy hair. He seemed lost in thought. His ebony eyes stared into the infinite sky. Wow, he's so kawaii.... Izzy looked over at Casey. She turned bright red, but managed a smile. He smiled back. He must feel the same ay I do. He's not the type of guy just to fool around with a girl for the fun of it. This is right, I know it is. I don't know him that well, but I'm willing to learn. Go for it Casey what have ya got to loose? We'll figure out a way, together. And deciding on that Casey inched closer to an oblivious Izzy. He was lying down with his eyes closed. She took a long piece of grass and began waving it back and forth under Izzy's nose. He was startled and then he sneezed. Casey giggled while she quickly took a picture of Izzy's funny face. "Sorry I just had to take the opportunity." She laughed.
"We'll see whose going to get the last laugh on this." Izzy said, he jumped on top of her pinning her down. He held her wrists above her head with one hand and tickled her sides with the other. He continued to tickle Casey until she begged for mercy.
"That was unfair! OWCH! My stomach hurts from laughing!"
"Well you started it."
"Ok! I learned my lesson." She gave Izzy a smile that made his heart ache. He wanted to kiss her, touch her soft skin, smell her shinny hair. That day I found her crying at the park, and then when I walked her home. That kiss was unimaginible. Then today back at the barn and the bus and everything, she wasn't palying, neither was I. We just didn't know it. She has to feel the same way, maybe she still doesn't know it yet. Or is she afraid of something? I would never hurt her, if I ever make her shed a single tear, I'd go insane. Then he realized the postion they were in. Izzy blushed and so did Casey, he quickly got off of her.
"Sorry." Izzy looked away.
He's in thought again. I wonder what he's thinking about. Hey, there's only one way to find out! "Hey Izz?"
"Yeah?"
"Watcha thinkin' about? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"To tell you the truth I was thinking.... um.. er..... a....about.... you." He prepared for impact. But he was hit with another type of impact. Casey threw her arms around Izzy's neck, and knocked him flat on his back.
"And to tell you the truth, I've been thinking about you all day." She whispered in his ear. Making him smile.
"I'm glad." He whispered back, as he inhaled the scent of her hair. It smelled like apple and pears mixed together. "I wish this could last forever..."
"Forever is not long enough." The two sayed like that for some time. In each other's arms, neither one wanting to let go. Casey had almost fallen asleep when her watch beeped. "What?" She looked at her watch.
"It's already 2 o'clock! Izzy, ya awake?"
"Yeah I've been awake the whole time. We should get going the other's might get worried."
"Good Idea." The two got up and packed up their things.
"Izzy can I get a better picture of you? The other one before was just a joke."
"Sure." Izzy stood near his horse and smiled.
"There." She smiled at him. Mounting their horses the began to descend the trail down to the fork, then to the lake. It was a 40 minute ride back down.
~**~**^.^**~**~
"Oh you guys are no help!"
"Let it go Alex, you might never get him, they could be destined to be together. Just take a look at the way he looks at her."
"I'd rather not, I prefer to keep my meals in my stomach, besides it would give us away when I ralphed. And don't call me Alex, 'she' called me that."
"You'll be with him one way or another, one way or another." Brad said looking at the canopy above them. They sat there and kept discussing their plans over and over so there would be no foul ups.
"We'll start on the bus, if we don't get it there....."
~*~*^ - ^*~*~
All the while they guys down at the lake were wondering where Casey and Izzy were.
"Where are those two?" Mimi asked very exasperated.
"They're ok Mimi." Kari said with a smile on her face.
"Ok Kari what do you know?" Sora glared at the younger girl.
"Oh nothing."
"Spill it Kari, or we'll just have to get it out of T.K." Yolei glanced over at T.K. with a devilish smile. Kari got up and ran in front of him. T.K. Cowered behind her.
"Ok! ok! I'll spill. But just don't say you got it from me!"
"Deal."
"Ok what exactly do you want to know?"
"Well what do you know?"
"I know how Casey and Izzy really feel for each other, even though they don't. Kind of like me and T.K. but I think they have something more."
"I KNEW IT!" Mimi exclaimed. "Those two are very sneaky but not sneaky enough."
"I get it!" Sora chimed in. "With the early morning stuff and the, OH I GET IT!" (A/N: She's a little slow.... no flames, I just don't like the girl....)
"Now we can just get them to tell us themselves we can hook them up, without them having to worry about being so secrative. We'll start be letting them sit together on the bus."
"You guys i really don't think we should mess with this." Kari said, but got ignored.
"Can I sit with Ken this time?"
"Sure babe." Ken walked up and emabraced her from behind. He sat down behind her and she leaned back into him.
"You make a good pillow." Yolie smiled up at Ken, who leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"What about me?!" Davis snorted, disgusted by the acts of affection.
"You can sit with me." Cody said. "Or I can sit with Jyou and you can sit by yourself."
"I'll take the second option."
"Suit yourself." Cody shrugged.
"So where are the newly weds?" Matt asked sarcastically.
"Who knows with those two. Probably talking on the computer, knowing Izzy." Tai joked.
"I don't think we should mess with this, you guys." Kari repeated.
"Why?" Tai looked quizically at his sibling.
"I don't think they know it yet, yeah sure they've had their moments, but i think they're still confused about themselves and the other and the relationship." Jyou thought for a minute as did the rest of the gang.
"I think Kari is right guys." Jyou spoke up. "Izzy isn't as good with girls as he is with computers."
"And from what I've seen, Casey really only treats guys like friends, or as teamates." Davis added in.
"Ok then, we'll let them do it their way, but they still get to sit together on the bus." Mimi concluded. Just then Izzy and Casey came down the trail.
"Quick everybody play dumb, like you don't know what's going on between them." Kari whispered.
"That shouldn't be hard for Davis." Cody joked.
"Yeah no problem! Hey wait!" Davis realized he was being made fun of. Everyone broke out into laughter. Casey and Izzy tied up their horses and walked over to the group. They sat down next to each other.
"So how was the trail, your guys were gone for quite a while." T.K. asked.
"It was beautiful." Casey replied. "The waterfall is breath taking." She smiled.
"See Tai, I told you we should have gone that way." Sora snickered.
"Well I'm sorry." Tai said in a not-so-nice tone. He got up and started to walk away.
"TAI! Wait I was just kidding. Wait up, I'm sorry!" Sora ran after him. (A/N: Sora, Sora, what am I going to do with you? Never hurt a goggle boy's pride! duh!)
"I swear they're like an old married couple." Matt said. "Either that or he's got male PMS." (A/N: dont' worry there is no such thing.)
"We could say the same for you and Mimi." Jyou joked.
"What did you say!?!"
"Uh oh."
"Quick Jyou, run!" Mimi yelled, but he was already up and running. Everyone laughed.
"I'm going to go for a walk." Cody announced.
"I'll go with you." Mimi said. They got up and left, leaving only Kari, T.K., Izzy, Casey and Davis.
"Sure as soon as we get here everyone leaves." Izzy said.
"Not to be mean but T.K. and I are going to go for a walk as well." Kari said feeling kind of bad.
"I'm going too!!" Davis announced. *everybody sweatdrop*
"Why don't we all just go? If that's ok with you two?" Casey suggested.
"Sure why not." T.K. answered.
"That's ok by me." Kari replied. They all got up and walked down to the lake. When they got there Kari and Casey took of their shoes so they could walk in the water. The two girls were chatting about when they were going to go shopping. The boys were just walking. Davis stopped to tie his shoe and the others got a little further ahead. Since Davis wasn't looking T.K. grabbed Kari's hand. When Davis was finished he got up and began to run to catch up with the group. He saw T.K. and Kari holding hands, and he got mad. He began to sprint. He lunged at T.K. but Casey was there instead. He stopped dead in his tracks. She had heard his footsteps and turned around. She told the other guys to keep going and not to pay attention to what was going on. She saw the look in his eyes and automatically new what the problem was.
"Get out of my way Casey."
"No Davis. I know how you feel but this isn't the answer, just let them be."
"How can you know how it feels? Just leave me alone."Casey calmly walked up to Davis so they were only about two feet apart.
"Just trust me Davis, I know, believe me you don't want to hear the story."
"But if you know how I feel then why won't you let me do what I have to?"
"Because I did it that way, and it didn't get me anywhere." Davis turned away, he was still raging with anger. He tried to get around Casey but he couldn't, she was too fast.
"Casey get out of my way!!"
"No! Davis I won't." Then unexpectedly Davis shot a punch at Casey hitting her square in the stomach. Casey fell to one knee. "Feel better?" She asked looking up at him. He was facing away from her. She could tell he was crying, but he wasn't satisfied just yet. He began to run again. Casey whirled around and began after him despite the pain she felt. She quickly caught up it him and tripped him causing both him and her to fall into the water. "Cool off Davis, just let her go, I'll help you get over Kari." Casey was kneeling in the water peering down at Davis who had his hands over his eyes.
"Y...you will?" He uncovered his face showing teary eyes.
"Mmm hmm." She smiled down at him. To her surprise he gave her a hug "Now do you feel better?"
"Yeah, just don't tell them I was crying."
"No problem. Come on I'll race you to catch up. Just don't look at Kari, keep talking with me or Izzy."
"Ok. Ready set go!" Davis was off and running. Casey got up and followed still in a little pain, but she made it a neck and neck race and let Davis win.
"Ok! Ok! Davis you're a better soccer player." Davis looked puzzled for a second then caught on.
"See I told you so!" He beamed. They both laughed.
"Sorry to interupt, but Casey can I talk to you?" Kari kind of giggled.
"Sure."
"Uh Casey, do you know what color shirt you're wearing?" Kari whispered in her ear.
"Uh yeah, it's white............ and it's wet and that's not a good thing." Casey blushed folding her arms across her chest.
"Hey Izzy why don't you give Casey your shirt?" T.K. whispered. Without another thought Izzy took off his green button up shirt that he was wearing over an orange t-shirt and put it on Casey's shoulders. Her blush deepened. "Uh thanks." He smiled.
"I think we should get going back." Davis looked at his D3 for the time. "Doesn't the bus leave at four?"
"Yeah youre' right, it's already three. It'l take like a half hour to get everybody on." Casey said checking her watch. "Let's go." They turned around and walked back to the horses. Everyone else was already waiting there.
"Davis, Casey what happened to you two?" Mimi asked looking at the two wet Digidestined.
"We kinda got in a little fight and got a little wet in the process." Davis explained.
"Ok, why is Casey wearing Izzy's shirt?" Jyou asked
"Becase my tanktop is white." She blushed again. Jyou blushed for asking the question. "Anyway we should be getting back to the bus."
"Yeah she's right." Tai said. "Mount up soldiers!" *everyone sweatdrop*
"Wait I want to get a picture!"Kari announced. "Come on! Casey you there! Davis over there! Cody stand there! There Perfect!"
"Hey Izzy?"
"Yeah Cas?"
"My head hurts, can I ride with you, I'm not sure I'm up to riding by myself."
"Hey Cas? What's the matter?" Mimi asked in a concerned voice.
"Hmm? Oh I'm not feeling that well."
"Ya gonna be ok?"
"Yeah just have a head ache and my stomach hurts a little." Davis froze when heard this. Man that's twice. I've gotta pay her back.
When Kari got her Camera set up and on the stand so she could be in the picture, Izzy and Casey were all the way on the left on Cinnamin with Casey sitting sidesaddle facing toward the middle in front of Izzy who was hugging her from behind. Next to them on horseback was Yolei and Ken sitting with Yolei in front of Ken but she was facing forward and Ken's head was on her shoulder. Next to them was Matt and Mimi sitting the same way as Izzy and Casey only Mimi was facing the other way. Tai and Sora were standing in front of Matt and Mimi. With Sora's horse standing sideways next to Mimi's. T.K. and Kari were standing with T.K.'s horse in front of Casey and Izzy. Jyou, Cody and Davis were all in the middle with Davis' horse who was lying down.
"Everybody set?" Kari made the final adjustments and quickley ran to her place. "Smile everbody!" Then they all got on their own horses and set off for the barn. They all chatted and teased each other on the way back. Upon arrival they met an unexpected 'surprise.'
"Izzy!" Everyone froze. Only one person had that voice.
"Oh no, it can't be." Mimi sighed. Just then Alexandra came out of the barn no longer in disguise as 'Ami.' Her long balck hair flew behind her as she walked toward the unsuspecting group. She was followed by her three friends Marron, Ayumi, Kyleen and her brother Brad. (Who was no longer 'Yuhi.') Casey cringed, not looking up from where she was happily placed.
"Oh Izzy dear! Funny running into you here!"
"Uh yeah. Sorry Alexandra we can't talk now, the bus will be hear soon and one of my friends isn't feeling well."
"Hello Casey dear how are you doing?"
"I've been better." She weakly grinned at Alexandra. Alexandra relished in Casey's pain. Izzy noticed that Casey's grip was slowly getting weaker. He slipped off the horse and gently pulled Casey off too.
"Hey Sora, would you put these two away for me?"
"Yeah sure, is Casey alright?"
"She'll be ok." Before Sora walked away Sugar put his nose in Casey's face.
"I'll miss you too. I'll come visit next time I'm in town." She smiled at the horse and gave him a kiss on the snout. He nibbled at her nose and then turned away with Sora. Everyone else went to the other barn with their horses except Mimi she stayed behind with Casey and Izzy.
"Hey Cas, you told me you were going to be ok. Now look at you." Casey playfully punched Mimi's arm.
"I'm fine, I'm tougher than I look." She smiled at Mimi. Mimi smiled back.
"Want some water?"
"Yeah sure, thanx Mimi."
"I don't mean to interrupt the friends, but the bus is here." Alexandra pointed out in an angry tone. She doesn't like to be ignored. "Izzy who are you sitting with?"
"I sat with Cody on the way up. Why?"
"Ok then Cody won't mind if you sit with me on the way back." She grinned at Casey, who was only listening.
"Use me as an excuse." Casey whispered in Izzy's ear.
"Sorry Alexandra Casey wants me to sit with her and make sure she's ok on the trip." He replied not showing his relief.
"Oh, ok. I'll just sit near you then." Just then all the other guys came back from the barn.
"Come on gang let's get on the bus!" Davis yelled. They all walked up to the bus and got on. Everyone crowded Alexandra and her frinds out, so they were the last ones to get on the bus. The DD went to the back of the bus and picked out their seats. Everyone said Davis could have one of the back seats because he was sitting alone. They all just put their bags and things into the empty seat beside him. Across from Davis sat Izzy on the outside and Casey on the inside. Matt and Miimi sat in front of them and Tai and Sora across from Mimi and Matt. Infront of Tai and Sora were T.K. and Kari. Yolei and Ken sat across from them with Jyou and Cody in front of them. Then Alexandra and her friends got on the bus.
"Izzy where are you? Any available seats by you?"
"I'm in the back and no I don't think there are any."
"Davis is that you? Who are you sitting with?"
"Myself, and some bags."
"Can I sit with you?" Davis looked over at Casey and Izzy who both shook their heads.
"Lemme think about thisssss, no! Sorry Alex."
"Don't call me that!!" Davis snickered at her. She reluctantly sat a couple seats in front Jyou and Cody with her friends. "Well that plan failed, we'll just have to wait until we get home. Then we'll get her."
"I'm sure." Kyleen said in a sarcastic tone.
~**~~^.^~~**~
Everbody was talking about what a great time they had today. Kari was taking more pictures. She had one of Ken and Yolei, Matt and Mimi, Sora and Tai and of T.K. and herself. She also had a little group shot of Davis and Tai and another of Jyou and Cody. In the back things were less active. Casey still wasn't feeling good.
"Hey Cas are you alright?"
"I'll live. I just have a moster head ache."
"You sure?"
"Yeah I'm sure." She closed her eyes in attempt to rest hoping her head ache would go away. Just after she closed here eyes she felt something on her hand. She opened her eyes and saw Izzy's hand on top of hers. She turned her hand over and the two interlocked fingers. Casey leaned over so her head was resting on Izzy's shoulder. She looked up at him and he smiled down. She closed her eyes again and Izzy gave her a light kiss on the top of her head. Then he leaned back and closed his eyes as well. Everyone in front of them hadn't really noticed the two becasue they were so quiet. That didn't last long.
"Hey Davis." Mimi whispered. "Go in Casey's bag and get her camera, then give it to me."
"Ok, which bag is her's?"
"The white one."
"Ok, here you go."
"Thanx."
"Hey Kari! Get a picture of this." Kari tunred around and smiled at what she saw.
"Oh how cute." First she took a picture using her camera, then she took Casey's from Mimi and shot one with that. "She's gonna be surprised to find that when she develops these."
"Oh yeah. Davis here put it back in the bag exactly where you found it."
"Will do." The bus ride back was uneventful. Kari was still at it with her camera. While on the way back the group decided they were going to go out for dinner, after they all went home and cleaned up.
~**~*~:P~*~**~
"Hey Izzy, dude wake up."
"What is it Davis?"
"We're back."
"Oh ok. Thanks man."
"Sure." Davis said as he started to hand out bags, then got up to leave.
"Hey Cas, wake up."
"Hmm are we back already?"
"Yep. How are you feeling?"
"Better thanx." She smiled at him. "We should go." Izzy got up and handed Casey her bag. He also let her out in front of him. Then they got off the bus.
"Oh Davis told me that the guys decided to go out for dinner after a short break to go home and change."
"That's sounds good to me. Cya later then." Casey gave Izzy a quick kiss in the cheek and went to find Sora and Mimi.
"Bye." Izzy said as he looked for Davis who's appartment was on the way back to his. "Hey Davis want to walk with me?"
"Sure, bye guys cya in a little while." The two boys started the walk home. "So Izzy what's up with you and Casey?" Davis teased.
"What do you mean?" Izzy tried not to look nervous.
"Ok, what happerned while you guys were on the trail?"
"Nothing Davis we talked and rode."
"Ok then what's this?!?!" Davis said as he snatched the part of Casey's ribbon that was hanging out of Izzy's pocket.
"What does it look like?"
"A girls hair ribbon that's what."
"There now you know what it is."
"But why do you have it?"
"Um um um um............"
"Lemme guess it's Casey's?" Izzy nodded. "Oh you sly devil!"
"It's not like that Davis! The wind blew it out of her hair and I cought it."
"Why didn't you give it back?"
"She said I didn't have to."
"Ok man I believe you. Well here's my stop cya later."
"Hey Davis, the ribbon?"
"Oh here man. Cya in a little while. You know where to go right?"
"Yeah cya in a while." And with that Davis dissappeared into his appartment builing. Izzy looked at the ribbon and stuffed it back into his pocket. "Better get moving."

Meanwhile at Sora's
"So Casey did you have fun today?" Sora asked.
"I had a blast!"
"Me too. That was a lot of fun."
"So Casey what's up between you and Izzy?" Mimi asked with a sly smile on her face.
"Nothing, we're friends."
"Yeah and I'm the Queen of England."
"Your Highness.." Casey swept into a deep bow, Mimi threw one of her shoes at Casey, "ok ok! I like him, there happy?"
"Does he know that?"
"I think I made it pretty clear."
"Casey and Izzy sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!" Sora and Mimi began to sing but Casey threw pillows at the both of them.
"You hypocrites! You both have boyfriends leave me alone!"
"Ok ok we'll leave you alone. I'm going to wash up, I'll use my mom's bathroom, you guys take turns in the other."
"Ok Sora. Mimi why don't you go first."
"Ok Cas. I'll try not to be long."
"Get going. I'll pick out what I'm gonna wear."
"Dress to impress!"
"Go away!" Casey threw her last pillow just as Mimi closed the door. Man those guys are annoying! Casey thought as she went to her dresser. Dress to impress, ha. I'm going for a little less than that. She worked her way through the drawers picking out stuff she might wear. She finally decided on a tight black shirt with a wide neck that sat very low on her soulders and sleeves that flared out at the end. With that she decided to wear low-cut light blue flare jeans.
That should do. just then Mimi came back in.
"Watcha gonna wear?"
"You'll find out when I get out of the bathroom." And with that she left Mimi in the room to decide what she was going to wear. Let's see what do I want to wear tonight? Oh I know! Mimi thought as she practically ran to her closet. This is perfect and brand new! I'm gonna knock some socks off!
"Mim what the hell are you doing?" Sora asked as she walked in to the room almost being hit by some article of clothing Mimi was throwing.
"Looking for my outfit for tonight."
"And making our room a disaster area."
"Yeah that too." She was now rumaging through the drawers. "Ah I got it!" She pulled out a deep burgandy halter top that had a diamond shape cut out starting an inch under the top of the shirt and went down to the top of her chest.
"Ooooo revealing." Sora mused.
"You got it!" She winked at Sora. "What are you going to wear?"
"I think I have just the jeans but I'm not sure on the shirt." Sora said as she walked to her closet and pulled out a pair of jeans that were dark blue. They were flares and had a low cut waist-line.
"Those are cool! Let's see since they're a dark blue you should wear a light colored top. How about this?" Mimi pulled out a light yellow spaghetti strap tank. It had light blue sparkly (AN: great word ne?) butterflies flying across the front.
"It's wonderful! Are you sure you want me to wear it?"
"Yes actually I bought it for you."
"Thanks Mimi! I love it!" Sora gave Mimi a hug.
"Your welcome."Just then Casey walked back in all ready to go.
"That was fast."
"Nice outfit!" Sora ran over to Casey admiring the shirt and pants.
"Wow Casey I didn't think you would ever wear something like that!" Mimi teased.
"This just goes to show you that us jocks can be feminine too." She grinned.
"I love your hair too!" Mimi changed the subject.
"It's just French braided pigtails...."
"But you wove a green ribbon in with it! It loooks really kool!"
"I could do it with your hair too, if you want."
"Do you have a burgany ribbon?"Mimi asked looking at her shirt.
"I have every color under the sun come on, let Sora get dressed." The two girls walked out and into the bathroom. Within the next twenty minutes the girls were ready to go. Casey had done Mimi's hair that same way as her's; two French braids and burgany ribbon with two light strands of hair framing her face. Sora had put in two low pigtails with a clip on either side. With her burgandy shirt Mimi wore very dark blue jeans. Grabbing money and their bags the three girls walked out of the house and to the meeting place.
"I think we're just in time." Sora said as she glanced at her watch.
"Hey, I thought you girls would be late." Tai teased. In return he got a playful punch from Sora.
"So whose missing?" They looked around. Kari, T.K., Jyou, Matt, Tai, Kan and Yolei were all there.
"I guess just Davis and Izzy." Jyou pionted out. "Cody called and said he couldn't come, it was too late."
"Davis probably got lost." Matt mumbled.
"Lost eh?" They tunred aroung to see Izzy and Davis standing there huffing and puffing.
"Sorry man, I was just kidding." Matt turned away.
"What happened to you two?" Mimi asked as the two caught their breath.
"We had to run, from..... from..... IT!" Davis joked.
"He means Alexandra." Izzy corrected. Casey frowned, Damn that girl she never gives up!
"Well should we go eat?" Kari asked. Everyone agreed and they went inside. They all sat at one big table, thinking about what to order.
"What can I get you kids tonight?" The waitress asked.
"I'll have a chicken salad." Mimi responded.
"Mee too." Kari agreed.
"I'll have a hamburger with fries please." Tai answered.
"Double that." Davis handed the waitress his menu.
"Make mine a cheeseburger." Jyou added.
"I'll have a cheeseburger too." Matt decided
"I'll have a chicken sandwich." Sora said folding up the menu.
"I'll have a BLT (Bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich)." Ken answered.
"I'll have the soup please." Izzy concluded.
"Make that two." Yolei agreed.
"And for you Miss?" The waitress said pointing at Casey.
"Oh, I'll just have some water."
"Not hungry?" Mimi asked her when the waitress left.
"Still not feeling that well." She rubbbed her temples. "I think I'll go get some fresh air." She got up and walked towards the door.
"Izzy go see if she's alright." Davis poked Izzy.
"I'm sure she's fine." He looked away knowing he should go out,
"Fine I'll go." Davis got up and followed Casey.
"Hey Izzy, what's up with you?" Matt whispered looking perplexed.
"I don't know.... I'll go out in a minute......" Izzy wavered, "Besides, I think Davis has something to discuss with Cas."
"You ok with that?"
"Yeah, I trust them both."
~~Meanwhile Outside~~
Davis walked out the restaurant door and looked for Casey. He saw her sitting on a bench a little ways from the doors.
"Hey Casey, you alright?"
"Oh Davis, yeah I'm fine."
"You don't look that fine to me, you're as white as a ghost." He went over and sat down next to her. She sat there hunched over with her head in her hands trying to relieve her head ache. Davis rubbed her back trying to make her feel better. "Maybe Jyou has something with him for that head ache of yours, I'll go see." He got up but Casey grabbed his hand.
"Thank you Davis, you're a really good friend."
"Thanks. I try." With that he began to leave again.
"Send Izzy out would you?"
"Sure." He ran back into the restaurant.
"Hey Jyou do you have anything for a head ache with you?"
"Yeah," he rummaged throught his bag. " Here you go."
"Thanks, hey Izzy grab your water bottle and come with me." Izzy shruged and follwed Davis out of the restaurant. When they got outside they saw Casey lying on the bench. It appeared that she was having trouble breathing.
"Casey!?!" Izzy sprinted over to the bench. "Casey, Casey wake up!!"
"What? I am awake....." She trailed off.
"Sit up and have some water." Davis suggested. Both boys sat on either side of her and helped her sit up so she could take the medicine. She downed the medicine and some of the water.
"That's it I'm taking you home." Izzy stood up.
"WE're taking you home." Davis corrected.
"No!, You guys got eat and have fun. I'll walk myself home. See I'm fine." She stood up took a step and fell back onto the bench. NO! I want them to have fun I can do this! She tried again. This time she stood up and began the walk home. She was past the restaurant entrance when she felt really dizzy. He visoin began toblur and she couldn't really hear anything. She contiuned to walk so not to draw any attention to herself. Placing her and on the walk next to her she stopped. Now she couldn't see anything. She faced the wall and leaned against it. "Izzy? Davis? Where are you guys?" she whispered. She didn't know that they had been walking behind her the whole time. She began to fall backwards, only to be caught by Izzy.
"Silly girl, you didn't listen to us." Izzy whispered in her ear. "Davis, would you go get our stuff? I think we really need to take Casey home, she's passed out."
"Um, sure." Davis ran back inside to grab the bags.
"Hey Davis what's up?" Ken and T.K. asked at the same time.
"Casey needs to go home Izzy and are going to walk her."
"Ok man, what about your food?"
"Don't worry here's the money for mine and Izzy's food." He handed the money to Matt. "I'll be back in a little while."
"Alright then. Matta nee."
"We'll be back early." Mimi said with a worried look.
"Tell her to get better." Kari smiled. With that Davis ran back out the door to where Izzy was standing with Casey.
"Davis hold her for a second." Izzy truned away from them. "Put her on my back it'll be the easiest way to carry her."
"Ok." He picked Casey up and set her on Izzy's back. They set off to Sora's appartment.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
About half way there Izzy had to take a break. "I'll carry her if you want." Davis offered.
"If you want to." Izzy handed Casey to Davis. Davis picked her up effortlessly and carried her the remaining distance to the appartment.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~
"Here we are finally." Izzy said.
"Ok now how do we get in?"
"A key duh." Izzy thought for a second. "But where is it? It's gotta be in her bag."
"I'll check, just hope she doesn't mind."
"Wait...... no... it's in my pocket." Casey said into Davis' shirt. Davis gently put her down. She reached in her pocket and handed it to Izzy. She smiled at him. Izzy opened the door and turned on the light.
"Thanx Davis I can handle it from here."
"Ok Izzy. I'll talk to you later."
"Thanks again Davis." Casey gave him a quick hug before Izzy picked her up and carried her into the house like a princess. Casey smiled at Davis over Izzy's shoulder then put her head down. Davis turned around and headed back to the restaurant. I hope she feels better.
"Davis is a good kid, and a good friend." Casey said as Izzy put her on the couch.
"He's not like that all the time, you must have some effect on him." Casey was about to protest but she felt light headed again.
"I'll be allright Izzy you can go now, I'm a big girl ya know." She said flashing him a childish grin.
"I'll wait till your in bed and ready to sleep." He leaned down to help her up but she pulled him down on the couch next to her.
"I'm comfy right here..." She laid her head on his shoulder again. All she could hear was Izzy's steading breathing. Once again she was sleeping away. Izzy gently grabbed the blanket from the end of the couch and laid Casey on the couch to sleep. He placed the lanket on her sleeping form.
"Good night Angel." He kissed her lightly on the lips and went to the kitchen to wait for Mmi and Sora to get home.
