The Prom

Yama shook of his paralysis first "What in the world are you wearing," Tai's tuxedo looked even worse in the flashing lights of the gym.

"What?" Tai looked down at his, in Tai's opinion, totally awesome clothes, "You don't like?"

"Oh, no," said Yama sarcastically, "That's the coolest outfit ever."

"I'd knew you'd love it!" Tai said, in a slightly flirtatious tone while ignoring the sarcasm.

Mimi and Sora, seeing that they were clicking, chose that moment to escape and leave the happy 'couple' alone.

"Hey Taichi, Yamato we're going to head over and get a few drinks, you two just hang out till we get back," Mimi and Sora left the two of them.

Matt and Tai stood there in the sea of people swaying to the very loud music, for a while, 20 minutes to be exact before the girls returned. Most of the prom was like that, Mimi and Sora disappearing for long periods of time while Matt and Tai hanged out and danced.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Good God," said Sora after there 3rd "bathroom" break. Those two are really clueless."

Mimi hopped up on the counter and sat there swinging her legs. "Maybe we should start with the backup plan. It might be the only thing to clue them in."

"You think?" Sora moved to stand in front of Mimi, lightly resting her hands on Mimi's thighs.

"Definitely," Mimi said meeting Sora's eyes, both no longer thinking about the plans.

Both leaned forward to meet in a passionate kiss. After a few minutes they pulled back and stared, panting.

"Well, we should go inform Koushiro and Jyou of the change in plans." Mimi slipped off the counter and hugged Sora around the waist. "We can talk about this later."

Sora smiled and hugged Mimi back, "Right. Let's work on Taichi and Yamato for now."

They left the bathroom to find Jyou and Koushiro.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Koushiro, being the genius that he is, had preprogrammed all the lights and music so all he had to do was make sure nothing broke down. Koushiro, at the moment, was perched on Jyou's lap and was playing with his hair as Jyou read a medical book.

"I have to cram for my test on Monday, Koushi," said Jyou studying a diagram of the liver.

Koushiro pouted, "But I rarely get to see you as it is, and then when I invite you to my prom you just sit and read your book."

Jyou put his book down with a sigh, "I'm sorry Koushi, how can I make it up to you." Jyou slipped his arms around his lover's waist and held him tight.

"Well," said Koushiro wrapping his arms around Jyou's neck, "I can think of a couple things."

Koushiro and Jyou were just about to kiss when they heard a knock on the door.

"Nani," called Jyou as Koushiro slid of his lap. Sora and Mimi entered the room and closed the door behind them.

"Hey guys." Sora said as she grabbed one of the available chairs in the room. "Taichi and Yamato are being unusually dense. I think we're going to have to go to the back up plan."

"You think?" Jyou was surprised, "I hadn't thought that we would have to go that far."

"I think we will, there's only 30 minutes left and we don't think that's enough time to get them together normally."

"Well if you insist." Koushiro got up and changed the programmed order around a bit before switching the spotlight to manual. "It's ready. Back up plan B will commence after this last song."

"Thanks Koushiro. Well go back out and make sure that they do what they're supposed to.

Mimi and Sora quickly rushed out of the room to make sure they got there in time to see there two friends reactions.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The music died away, Yamato and Taichi stopped dancing and stood chatting as they waited for the next song to start.

"Next will be the last slow dance of the evening so please grab your partner," a booming voice said over the intercom.

Both Yamato and Taichi looked around trying to find Mimi and Sora but not seeing them anywhere.

"Well, Taichi since the girls aren't here, could I have this dance?" Yama jokingly asked as he extended his arm.

"Of course," Taichi accepted, slightly joking, but really very truthful. Taichi's heart beats hard in his chest as Yamato takes his hand and pulls him closer. He breathed in Yama's scent, wrapping his arms around Yama's neck.

Yama tuned out the rest of the room as he wrapped his arms around Taichi's waist. The music began to play, "Madly Deeply Do" by Savage Garden, played quietly in the background as they moved together; swaying as the music was imprinted with the moment; their song.

So wrapped in there moment, they were, that they didn't even notice when Koushiro aimed the spotlight on them or when the people backed away, leaving them in a circle of golden light.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sora and Mimi stood hidden in a corner, in each other's arms.

"We did a good job didn't we," said Mimi as she watched the two boys twirl together.

Sora giggled, "Maybe we should get a ride home with Hikari and Takeru. It looks like those two will be busy tonight."

Mimi got a mischievous grin on her face, "we could be busy too."

"Oh," Sora faked surprise, "Whatever could you mean?"

Mimi laughed and pulled her deeper into the shadows where there lips met in a kiss.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well," Hikari watched her brother dance with a happy grin, "Looks like Mimi's plan worked."

"Guess she isn't as ditsy as we thought." Takeru said draping his arm over her shoulder.

Hikari lightly punched him in the side, "Be nice, she did get are brothers together." Hikari looked around for Mimi to thank her when she saw the Sora and Mimi in the corner making out. "I suggest you keep comments like that to yourself, it would be safer."

TK followed Kari's gaze and saw Mimi and Sora. "Um, maybe your right."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The song finally ended and Yamato and Taichi reluctantly pulled apart.

"Hey Yama, that was great," said Taichi slightly dazed.

"Yeah," Yama said pulling Taichi back and giving him a hug before releasing him completely, "Um... I really like you Taichi. I have since we met in the digital world."

"I like you too, Yama," Taichi said happily, "Do you want to go out sometime?"

"Sure but...," Yamato trailed off.

"But what?" Tai asked slightly worried.

"You have to promise to never where that tuxedo again!!" Yama exclaimed, eyeing the atrocious items of clothing, "It's really horrid!"

"Ha ha!! Of course," Tai laughed latching onto Yama's arm, "Now let's escape before Sora and Mimi come and yell at us."

Taichi and Yama happily left the gym arm in arm, to start there new, and better, life together.

The End
