DominoDS: Sorry about not writing the next chapter for like....ever! But of
course I have the stupid excuses of crappy college classes and being
hypnotized by cute guys who don't even know I'm alive more than likely.
Bleh, Thank you Austin for making my life on campus a miserable experience
by being totally oblivious. :P~~~~~
Anyhoo here is the next chapter and I really am sorry for taking so long.
I promise the next one will be longer!

*Surprises for
All*
Nika sat with her brother Sean on the couch in the living room quietly.
They were called down from the upstairs by their mother for a "family talk"
they were to have, yet their mother hadn't shown up in the room yet. They
were old enough to sense their mother's anxiety. Nika looked over at her
younger brother, who was chewing an awful large size of bubble gum noisily.
She slumped down in the cushions crossing her arms over her chest with a
sigh. Soon she heard the sound of the door shutting quietly, heavy
footsteps making their way into the house. Her father, Matt, soon came into
view, wearing a business suit, and dark sunglasses over his eyes. [This
would actually give me a mental picture of the guy from Season 03,
seriously]
Nika smiled gleefully and leapt off the couch, followed by her brother, as
they smothered their father in tight hugs.
"What are you doing here, dad?" Nika asked looking up at her father. He sat
gently down in a chair opposite the couch,not removing his sunglasses,
folding his hands in his lap.
"Actually, I have to wait for your mother, there is something that we
need to discuss with you two. It's very important, and we're sorry that we
weren't smart enough to do this sooner." He said.
The two children looked at each other quizzically, unsure of what he meant,
Nika tried to press on further, yet Sora emerged from the pantry and sat
down in a chair next to Matt. She shook slightly, unable to meet her
children's glances. Matt slowly looked at Sora and reached over taking her
hand in his.
"Come on Sora, you have to begin it..." he said softly, lowering the
sunglasses slightly. Sora smiled softly, this was the Matt Ishida she had
grown to love all those years ago. She sat straight up looking at her
children. She could no longer do this to them.
"Nika..Sean...your father and I want to tell you that..we are not going to
reconcile...we aren't going to get back together. We tried and..we just
can't kid ourselves. It wouldn't be fair to you, and it wouldn't be fair to
us either," She said, her voice slightly shaking as she could see the
sadness on their faces.
Matt jerked up looking at them, "Hey hey hold on, it doesn't mean that we
don't love you, and that your mother and I can't still be friends. We just
don't love each other in how married couples should. But it'll never change
how we feel about you two. You are our suns,moons,stars, everything in our
horizon." Matt said emphasizing on each word. Sora moved onto the couch
beside her children, taking Sean in her arms, who was too shocked to say
anything. Nika held her blonde head down,tears streaming down her cheeks.
Matt carefully scooped his daughter into his arms and cradled her, as he
had done when she was a baby.
"We love you guys, ok? Everything will be all right, I promise." Matt said,
looking up over at Sora confidently knowing that he had done the right
thing. Sora smiled to him with a nod. Sean wiped his nose on Sora's arm and
sniffed, "Could I have a cookie then?"

Tai paced back and forth outside the shop, his hands shook nervously as he
glanced at the window. He felt like gravity could take a violent hold of
him and drag him onto the ground to keep him from doing what he desired to.
He pulled out his wallet again, counting the money that he had left and put
it back in his pocket. Leaning against the brick wall he lowered his head,
locks of dark brown hair falling between his eyes. He took a long breath
and let it out trying to let everything set in, instead of compiling all at
once.
He heard footsteps approach and he glanced up. His childhood friend, Izzy,
approached him. He looked much different than he had during High School.
The crazy look to his hair was gone, it was no longer red but auburn, and
he had become very successful in the computer business.
"Hey Izzy, what's shakin?" He asked pushing himself up from the wall, using
it to brace himself as he stood.
Izzy quirked a brow as he stopped beside his friend.
"What is the emergency Tai? You sounded as if your very life depended on my
coming here tonight." Izzy said, he rested a hand under his chin, placing a
thumb just above his lips studying Tai.
"Hmm...sweaty hands, shaking...pale...are you ill?" He asked.
Tai let out a nervous laugh and shook his head no. He pointed to the name
of the shop that they stood in front of. "Tabaiki Jeweler's Shop" and
grinned slightly.
"A jewelers shop Tai? What is this about?" Izzy said looking very confused.
Tai turned his back slightly, then faced his friend again. Color returned
to his face even though he felt like his knees could fall off.
"I need you to help me pick out an engagement ring...I'm going to ask
Sora to marry me!"
