Preparations
Kora had just finished getting her books and closed her locker. Tai was standing, waiting for her. "Hi there, beautiful." Tai grinned. "Hey, sweetie." Kora quipped. Tai kissed the tip of Kora's nose. "So, you ready to go?" Tai asked. "What are you, my escort?" "Yep. Come along, my pretty." Tai linked hands with Kora and they walked to their next class.
At the end of the day, Kora walked out with Mimi, Sora, and Leila. "Hey, Kora!" Tai caught up to her. He kissed her on the cheek. "Where are you all off to?" "Shopping for the dance tomorrow night." Mimi squealed. "Oh, well, Kora, I'll call you?" Tai asked, as he was half way down the street. "Okay, bye!" Tai grinned and waved.
Mimi smiled. "You two are so cute. You two just apologized this morning and you're already a couple." "Well, you expect me not to have a boyfriend?" Kora asked. Leila smiled. "Let's go shopping for clothes and we can go for pizza or something." The friends linked arms and headed towards the mall. "Ooh, look, at all these killer deals." Mimi exclaimed. "Well, I already know what I'm supposed to get. How bout we split up or something? We'll move faster and we'll meet at the pizza parlor in two hours." "Okay, Sora, you come with me and Leila, go with Kora." Mim suggested. Sora's face was twisted in a wince at the thought.
"Um, how bout just Sora and I'll go and you and Leila?" "Okay. Let's go, Leila." Mimi went off with Leila behind her. "Thanks, Kor." "No problem. Let's shop!" "What have you got in mind?" "Something simple. Tai already told me I look good in anything. Who are you going with?" "No one asked me." "Oh, well, Tai asked me but don't worry. There's some perfect, cute guy out there for you too." The pair walked through the mall to the what is known as the simple store. "Let's go." Kora said and Sora followed her in. They went through the racks looking for something.
"Um, I found something." Sora said. "Me too. Let's go try them on." After a few minutes, Sora emerged in a short black skirt and a pink 3/4-sleeve shirt with lace trim. "Great, Sora. The guys will be all over you tomorrow night." Kora grinned as Sora blushed. "What do you think?" Kora asked as she struck a pose. Kora looked drop dead gorgeous. She had a red, spaghetti strapped mini-dress and a short black sweater tied at the front. "As usual. We both look good. Let's pay and go look for shoes." Sora said. Kora nodded and they paid and left. About an hour later, they met Mimi and Leila at the pizza place. "We're a little late. Mimi decided to try on the whole store." Leila sighed. Kora and Sora giggled. "That's Mimi." Sora said. "You are all so mean." Mimi said, as if she were gonna cry. "Just kidding. Let's go. I'm starved." Mimi went in and they ordered a small plain.
As they ate, Mim asked, "You people find anything." Kora nodded, "We found our outfits and some great shoes to go with them." "We'll all meet tomorrow before so we can get ready. Kora, what time is Tai coming for you?" "Well, the dance starts at 7 so he's coming at 6:30. How bout you, Mimi?" "Oh, well, Joe is coming at 6:45. Leila?" "I'll have time to go home. My date, Brian, is coming at 6:50." "So, we'll all have time to go home from Kora's house. Hey, is Kara going with anyone?" "Of course, Izzy. They like each other so much." Kora replied. They all departed and went home after the pizza.
"Oh, Tai. I can't wait for tomorrow. Oh, you're so sweet. I love you too. Uh-huh. 'K, love ya lots!" Kora hung up the phone and sat down. "Hey, Kora. You look like you're gonna faint. What's up?" Sora asked "That Tai is such a sweetheart." "Oh, well. Bedtime. It's like 11 now." Sora said. "Okay. 'Night, Sora!" Kora padded to her room and went to sleep.
The next day at 6:15, all were at the Takenouchi/Takenoachi apartment. Kora and Sora were dressed and doing one another's hair. Kora had done Sora's short auburn hair in a french-twist and Kora's hair was done in a french braid. Mimi and Leila had finished their make-up. "Well, we'll be going now. See you all later." Mimi and Leila left and Kora grinned as the doorbell rang. Sora crept out of Kora's room to see Kora and Tai kissing sweetly. He kissed her nose. "Beautiful as usual. How do you pull it off?" "Oh, stop it. You are so flirtatious." "Oh, is that a bad thing?" Tai asked, as he pretended to be hurt. Kora giggled and nuzzled his shoulder. "You're too much. Sora, Tai and I are going now. We'll see you later." Kora slipped on her jacket and Tai waved. "Catch you later, Sor!" Tai and Kora went out and the door closed behind them.
Sora sighed. She wished someone loved her as much as Tai seemed to love Kora. They exchanged their love for one another so easily. They kissed and snuggled like they were so in love. It's almost sick sometimes to watch people in love. They are so...sickening. Sora was often worried no one loved her but she knew Tai did. They'd probably be boyfriend and girlfriend until he saw her cousin. Everyone liked and Kora and Tai had fallen in love with her instantly. Sometimes Kora made her so sick. Being so perfect and beautiful. She had the looks that turned boys' heads and could make them follow her like lovesick puppies. Sora sighed as she fixed her make-up and couldn't help but laugh. She remembered when she'd looked at make-up and skirts or dresses as if they were punishment.
Now, at 16, Kora had turned into a more feminine girl. Sora often wondered why she and Kora got along but Sora resented and possibly hated Kora with a passion. It was strange but that's the way it was. Sometimes, Sora wished Kora would just disappear. Kora was so perfect in every way and made Sora depressed. Time for the dance and Kora to be in the spotlight again. Sora thought sadly and left the apartment.

Lil' ideas for the next part are sending warning messages in my brain. I got this great idea from the wonderful, Becci 'D! Thanx so much Becci! As well, I know this was so girly as some would say and mostly fluff among Kora and Tai. Well, my mind was blank of how to get the fic to the point of my idea. I'm dangerous with ideas... *WARNING! WARNING! THIS PERSON HAS UN-IDENTIFIED THOUGHTS IN HER BRAIN RIGHT NOW!! WARNING, WARNING, EVACUATE THE VICINITY IMMEDIATELY!!*
