~*~ The Gang's all here ~*~
"I don't know..." Kari said looking at a dress in Macy's with Mimi. Mimi held up the dress and smiled.
"It's perfect for you." Mimi smiled. The dress was a light pink. It was knee length, and had speckles of glitter on the edges of the dress. Kari looked at the dress and smiled again.
"It's $176.84, I don't have that money just to spend like that." Kari looked at Mimi, and began to turn away.
"Oh no you don't." Mimi grabbed her arm and turned her back to the dress. Kari looked at her. "I'll buy it for you."
"No. Mimi I can't have you wasting your money like that."
"I wouldn't be wasting my money. You could wear it for... the huge dinner we're having tomorrow night." Mimi smiled and took the dress to the counter. Kari looked at her retreating back and quickly followed.

Sora and Yolei were on the other side of the Mall. They too had come to buy new outfits for the get together dinner. "How about that purple one we saw at that little boutique?" Yolei looked at Sora.
"Nah... You have way too many purple dresses. How about that sleek black one?"
"For you? The one with the slit up to the knee, and the beautiful rose design around the bottom of the dress?" Sora looked at Yolei and nodded. "Go for it." They began laughing.
"Oh I know, the gray dress. The one with the black and white pattern on the top." Yolei gave Sora a disgusted look.
"No way, that's something my mother would wear." Yolei looked at Sora with a bit of an evil gleam.
"What?"
"How about that white dress?"
"The one that came right under my thighs and was a tube. How about no, never." Sora stuck out her tongue. Yolei just began laughing. "I know, remember that dress in Macy's? That pink one with the glitter design. That looked so pretty on you." Yolei shook her head.
"No, I really don't like the color pink. I still think that lavender dress in the boutique. It had the Orcas going up across it."
"Yeah that was really pretty. Well let's go buy our dresses." Sora and Yolei smiled.

"Tk!" Tk flinched. He had been hiding from his brother, ever since he helped Mimi sneak out of the house. "Tk, I know your in here I can sense your fear." The door swung opened and a very, very angry Matt stood, in its place.
"Oh hey Matt I didn't hear you." Tk smirked. Matt grabbed his collar and hoisted him up.
"Well hiding in the closet will do that to a person." Matt growled at him. Tk inwardly shuttered.
"Matt, What's wrong?"
"You should know. I go out with Tai, after having Mimi sware she won't go anywhere. Then coming home and finding my wife not home, along with her three best friends. Considering that I went out with Tai. Joe, Sandra, Izzy, and Davis took the kids to the park. Well that leaves my younger brother, Tk, to watch over my wife. And now I find him in a closet, and my wife not here. Well that means..."
"Your gonna kill me." Matt gave him an evil look and brought him out of the closet.
"Matt calm down. I am sure she's fine. Put Tk down." Tai said from the hall. Matt looked at Tai and then released Tk's collar. Tk fell on his feet and jumped away from Matt.
"She's doing this on purpose. She's doing this to punish me." Matt said going into the living room.
"Now why would she be punishing you?" Tai said coming up behind him.
"I don't know...this is Mimi we're talking about." Matt just dropped his head in his hands and began shaking it. Tai patted his back and looked at Tk who was on the other side of the room, behind the couch. Tai just shook his head.

"The white dress looked good on you." Kari said holding several shopping bags.
"No it made me look fat."
"I wonder why?" Kari said patting Mimi's stomach. Mimi just smiled and laughed.
"I think my favorite was the pearl colored dress. You know the one with the pink design on the top?"
"Yeah that one made you look all princessie." Kari giggled.
"Hey girls." Yolei said a few feet away from them. Kari and Mimi looked at Yolei and Sora.
"Hey guys... lot of bags I see." Mimi said walking up to them.
"Just a little." Sora smiled. The girls decided to go to a little café before heading home.
"I can't wait to see Serene, Ken, and Cody." Yolei said taking a bite of her cheese cake.
"Me neither." Mimi nodded her head. Sora and Kari also nodded their heads.
"How did you convince Matt to let you come to the mall?" Yolei asked.
"I didn't." Mimi said taking a sip of her coffee. Sora and Yolei, looked at her shocked.
"Then how did you get out then?" Mimi shrugged, Yolei turned to Kari, who looked at Mimi.
"Matt and Tai went out, so it was just Tk and Mimi. I came back to get my credit card, and I saw Mimi and Tk playing cards. Tk helped get Mimi down to my car and we came to the mall." Kari said eating her sundae. Yolei nodded.
"So you guys are planning on getting a lecture from Matt when you get home?" Kari and Mimi nodded.

Matt, Joe, Tk, and Tai were standing at the airport. Ken walked out, holding Serene in his arms. Ken looked around, when his eyes landed on his friends, he smirked and shook his head.
"I thought I told you guys, not to come down here." Ken said, putting Serene down.
"Well, I thought it would be nice to see our old friend. Besides I doubt you know how to get to Tk's." Tai said coming closer to Ken to play with Serene. Ken looked at him and then the rest of the guys.
"Ok w/e. Where are the girls?"
"Mimi is at home, grounded. Sora, Yolei, and Sandra are with the kids. And Kari is making a nice welcoming cake, for you, Serene, and Cody. So they sent us." Matt said. Ken nodded and went to get his luggage.

Ken and Serene were handing out hugs once they got to the apartment.
"Mimi." Serene jumped onto Mimi. Mimi for a second time that week looked shock.
"Wow these kids are just friendly towards Mimi." Yolei said holding Sam.
"She's usually really, really shy. I wonder what's up with her." Ken said prying the three years old off Mimi.
"Daddy, Mimi ish the lady whoosh loves me." Serene said smiling proudly at Ken. Ken looked confused for the most part.
"Serene, I don't understand. Everyone loves you." Serene just shook her head and put her head down. Ken rubbed her back and smiled. " I think some one needs a bit of alone time." Ken said and took her down the hall where their room was. Ken hurried back.
"So... Any new women in your life?" Davis said.
"OMG...I thought you said he had lost his idiotness." Yolei said looking at Kari. Mimi slapped Davis on the back of the head. Ken just smiled and lightly chuckled.
"It's ok girls. Yes Davis, there have been a few girls in my life since her death. I just haven't thought any of them your right. Except this girl, Nikki, she has a son who's eight, and she's divorced. She is just great." Ken said going in to the living room. The girls followed him along with Davis.
"She sounds really nice." Yolei smiled. Mimi and Kari nodded their heads. Sora smiled, too.
"She is. Wow, she is so lively, she walks into the room and lights it up. I love her." Ken said smiling.
"How long have you been with her?" Davis said sitting next to Mimi on the couch.
"Four months. I recently got back into dating so, it's a brand new relationship. But I am really beginning to fall totally, and honestly in love with her." Mimi, and Kari smiled, knowing smiles. Ken just shook his head. "She's very pretty, brown hair, green eyes. She's just a few inches shorter then me. She's great with Serene, her son, Shawn, is the greatest kid I know. She has a great job, better then mine, she has a house about twenty minutes away from me. She's interested when I talk about you guys. She so... perfect." Ken looked down.
"And that's a bad thing...?" Davis asked. Ken looked up and smiled.
"No, the bad thing is she's not Carol." Ken got up and walked down the hall and into he's room. The girls and Davis looked at each other.
"Well... who's up for pizza?" Pillows flew towards Davis. "What?!"

Tk, Matt, Tai, Joe, and Izzy were out at a bar near Tk's house.
"Why did we come here again?" Izzy asked taking a sip of his ice tea. Joe looked over at him and smirked.
"What? Scared your wife will find you."
"Yeah, yours too." Izzy said pointing towards the door. At the door was Kari, Sandra, Sora, and Yolei.
"Oh shit." Tai said and hid under the table.

"Are you sure this was a good idea?" Sora said.
"Most definitely. I needed to get away from that apartment. And I haven't gone to a bar since Kari's twenty-first birthday." Yolei said walking up to the bar tender.
"I went to a bar... about three months ago. Joe wanted to be 'wild'. It was a phase." Sandra said ordering a drink.
"I wonder where the guys went. After they dropped Ken off they just left." Kari said taking a seat next to Sora. Yolei shrugged her shoulder and went to sit down.

"OMG... if they freakin' see us here, we are so dead." Matt said turning around.
"Calm down, we're all the way in the back." Joe said motioning for the waitress. Tai, Izzy, and Matt turned around. Tk and Joe were facing the directions of the girls.
"Hey why should we be angry? They came here without asking us. And what about, Mimi, Ken, and the kids? Come on guys." Tk said getting up. After a few minutes the rest of the guys stood up with determined faces and marched over to the girls.

"So I was said, What do you mean, you hate that name?... He's like Raye is a boy's name..."
"Sorry to cut you off Sora but I think I found our husbands." Sandra said motioning to back of the bar. The other three girls turned their heads and watched as the boys headed towards them.
"What are they doing here?" Yolei said giving the other girls a confused look. Tai was the first to reach to table.
"Hey Tai. What's ...?"
"No Sora." Sora gave Tai a strict look, which made him back off a little. "I mean, what are you doing here?"
"Yeah... Where's Mimi?"
"And Ken?"
"What did you do with the Kids?"
"Well...?" Tk and the other guys stood in front of the table waiting for answers.
"Joe Kido, do you dare talk to me like that?" Sandra said standing up. Joe back down quickly and silently apologized to his wife. The rest of the guys gave him dirty looks and went back to standing up to their wives, and girlfriend.
Sora stood up and looked at Tai and Matt.
"Tai cut it out or your *grounded* and Matt cut it out or I'll tell Mimi." Sora gave them a look and sat back down. Tai and Matt both backed down and went closer to Joe.
"Your in enough trouble Izzy, sit down and don't you dare pout." Yolei said in a voice you use when your kids are doing something bad. Izzy looked at Yolei then Tk. Finally Izzy decided his marriage was pretty important to him and he sat at the table next to the girls.
Tk looked at Kari. Kari looked at Tk. They stood there just staring at each other. After five minutes Tk blinked, and Kari jumped up.
"Ha! You lose! As usual." Everyone looked at the two and decide to go home.

Mimi and Ken were watching 'Pretty Woman' in the DVD player. Mimi was on the right side of the couch with a bowl of ice-cream in her lap. Ken was on the left side with Serene in his lap. The rest of the kids were asleep in Tk's room. Mimi was laughing at one of the parts. Ken just smiled.
"I'll be right back. Let me put her in our bed." Ken smiled, Mimi nodded and smiled as well. Ken came back in a few minutes, he saw the TV off and Mimi sitting on the couch still, reading a magazine.
"Well what happened to Julia Robert's love affair with Richard Gear?" Ken lightly joked.
"Oh hush. I got tired and figured I take a nap, but of course I can't fall asleep without my good for nothing husband laying next to me singing softly in my ear... damn him for doing that to me." Mimi said smiling. Ken chuckled and sat next to Mimi, looking over her shoulder.
"I want to hear more about Nikki." Mimi said looking over at Ken. Ken smiled.
"She's great. I love her, everywhere we go, she knows how to make the best of it. Her son is great with Serene. But I don't think Serene really likes Nikki or Shawn. I just don't know what to do?" Mimi nodded her head.
"Serene will come around in her own time." Mimi said patting his back. Ken just smiled.
"How's your pregnancy coming along?" Ken asked.
"I pray that I never get pregnant again. I mean Matt has been so strict with me lately. First he says he misses Sora, then he doesn't want the baby, then wants the baby, and now all he wants is to make sure the baby is safe. He has hurt me so badly this week, and it hasn't taken any toll on him. What does he want from me. Jeez." Mimi said putting her magazine down. Ken looked at her and began laughing. "What's so funny?" Mimi asked smiling.
"That hit so close to home." Mimi gave Ken a confused look.
"Carol, thought I only cared for the baby. She would throw things at me, yell at me, she even threaten not to have the baby. It took four hours to tell her I loved her, and that the baby was a part of us, and she having the baby, made me love her even more. After that she calmed down, and began believing that I loved her, pregnant or not pregnant." Ken said smiling.
"I guess if Matt said something like that I would feel a little better, he stopped telling me he loved me about two weeks ago. I don't know..."
The door suddenly opened and in walked a depressed Joe, with a smirking Sandra on his arm. Then a smiling Yolei, tugging o a scared face Izzy. Kari and Tk walked in, both looking annoyed. And then Sora walked in holding Matt's and Tai's ears.
"OMG... what happened to you guys?" Mimi said getting up. Sora smirked at Matt who had pleading eyes.
"Well...we found these guys at a local bar."
"Matt was at a *bar*..." Mimi turned from worried to angry in a second. Matt got away from Sora and went straight for the wall. Mimi went up to him and gave him a disgusted look. "You are sleeping here, on the couch. You understood. Tk you make sure he says here, on this couch and he doesn't go anywhere." Mimi said walking towards the door. Everyone watched as she slammed the door.
"Well I think that's our cue to leave." Sandra said pulling Joe's arm. They quickly said their good byes and went.
"So anyone heard from Cody yet." Yolei said getting a glass of water.
Ken nodded his head. "Yeah, he called around eight o'clock. He wanted to say he got in ok. The hotel is great, and he'll see us all tomorrow for the dinner. He decided to bring Courtney after all." Ken said straightening the living room a bit.
"That's good. Where are the kids?" Sora said helping tidy up.
"Sleeping in Tk's room." Tai nodded and went into the room. Izzy followed suit. Soon, Tai came out with Raye in his arms and Tommy wobble towards Sora. Sora picked him up and waved goodbye to her friends. Kari kissed Tk and followed Tai and Sora. Izzy went straight to their room with Nina. Yolei said good night to the guys and went to the room.
"Well, Sorry we left you here. Davis said that he had business and we can't leave Mimi alone." Tk smiled at Ken.
"No problem... I love kids. Besides it was nice spending some time with Mimi. Well I am off to bed. 'Night."
"Good night." Tk watched as Ken walked to his room and silently closed the door. Tk sat on the couch and looked over to Matt who was standing by the sliding door.
"Well Good night Matt."
"Wait aren't you going to ask me if I want the guest room." Matt said.
"Nope, Mimi said couch."
"Why do you listen to her, but not me?"
"I hate to tell you this. But I like Mimi better." Tk ran out of the room, while a shocked Matt stood there.

"Hey Mimi. How did you sleep?" Kari said from the kitchen. Mimi looked up and gave a tired look.
"I couldn't sleep, because no one was next to me. I always forget I need some one next to me to sleep." Mimi said sitting down.
"Oh Mimi, you could have come in my room."
"No, I am ok. Matt will see me and drag me to the room, and lay down with me, I'll have an after noon nap later." Kari just smirked and put a plate of pancakes in front of Mimi.
"Well here eat up." Tai walked in to the room, shirtless, and went straight to the coffee. Mimi had the fork in mid air, while she gave him a confused look. Kari smirked and went back to her Pancakes. Tai got his cup and began walking out. Mimi looked at Kari and saw her mouthing down to one. When she mouthed one, Tai slammed into the wall, backed up and went out to the hall.
"That was... weird." Mimi said looking at Kari.
"Not really... he's been doing that since he was five, but then it was juice." Kari began giggle, Mimi soon joined in. Sora walked in looking refreshed and hyper.
"Good Morning Girls!" Sora said all perky. Mimi glared at her, while Kari smiled and handed her a plate with pancakes.
"Sora why the hell are you such a morning person?" Mimi said. Sora looked at her and smiled.
"I don't know, I am just in a really good mood." Sora sat down across from her and began eating her breakfast. Tommy walked in and went to Sora and began softly crying.
"OMG, Why is he crying?" Kari said coming closer.
"He's been having the same bad dream, ever night. He won't tell us what it is, but he's ok, by eleven o'clock. Excuse me." Sora picked up Tommy and went down the hall, to her room. Kari and Mimi looked at each other and went back to what they were doing.

"I like the Violets."
"Nah, the Orcas look a lot better."
"I hate Orcas, Violets."
"Orcas."
"Violets."
"Orcas."
"Violets."
"Orcas."
"Violets." Yolei and Sandra were having a slight disagreement over the flowers to hang up in the hall, for the dinner. Yolei picked some Orcas, while Sandra picked up the violets, they both went to hang up the flowers, when Kari walked in. She was holding a box of roses. Yolei and Sandra looked at her.
"I got the flowers we're going to hang up. Roses. Mimi and me love them." She got up on the ladder and began hanging them up. Yolei and Sandra dropped their flowers and walked out of the hall, at different directions.
"Hey guys, I could use some help here?" Kari looked at the empty room. "Guys?"

Mimi, Matt, and Tk were at the park watching Serene, Tommy, Nina, and Raye. They were sitting on a bench facing the lake and the play ground.
"Hey Tk can you give me and Mimi a second?" Tk nodded and got up.
"Hey kids."
"UNCLE TK!" Matt turned to Mimi and took one of her hands. Mimi looked at him, and was met with worried eyes.
"If this is about the bar. Don't worry..." Matt cut her off.
"No it's not about the bar. I am so sorry. I am sorry for bringing up Sora. I am sorry for saying I didn't want the baby. I am sorry I only caring for the baby's safety. I am sorry for making you think I didn't love you. I am sorry for acting like a jack ass. I am sorry for being the cause of all your stress. I am sorry I didn't do this sooner. I love you so much. I am so sorry." Matt looked up at Mimi and saw a small smile.
"I love you too." Mimi brought Matt's face up to hers and kissed him.
Tk was behind a bush with Tommy. Tk smiled and took Tommy back to the jungle gym.

Kari, Sora, Yolei, and Sandra were in the kitchen making different appetizers. Before dinner they would roam around the small hall, socializing. Kari had every thing planned out perfectly. The dinner, the flowers, the invitations were all ready.
"I can't wait to show off my new outfit."
"What does your dress look like?" Yolei asked.
"You'll have to wait and see." Sandra smirked. Yolei stuck out her tongue, while Kari and Sora smiled.

Kari walked out of her room, wearing the pink dress Mimi bought her. She had a sheer pink jacket over it with her hair in a sloppy bun. She was holding a pale pink purse, with shoes. She walked out into the hall and saw Sora come out. Sora wore a black dress, with a diamond necklace and bracelet. The dress was a tank-top, with a slit on the right side going up to her knee. Her hair was up in a pony tail. Behind her walked out Tommy, who was wearing jeans and a dressy shirt, he was holding Raye's hand, who wore a red dress that had black lace at the bottom. Tai walked out behind them in a tux.
Kari knocked on Mimi's and Matt's door. Matt walked out in dress pants and a dress shirt with a jacket swung over his shoulder. Mimi walked out in a pearl dress. Her hair was in a clip and her bangs were over the side. She was going through her purse. After a few minutes they got in the car and drove to the hall. Inside they saw the rest of their friends.
Sandra wore a grey, tub-top gown. It was silk with a slit on the right side. Her hair was down with a diamond headband. Joe was in a tux. Yolei was wearing a purple dress, with a design going across the bottom of the dress. Her hair was half up, half down, with purple hair clips on the sides. Nina was wearing the same color dress as her mother, with her hair in the same style. Izzy was wearing a black suit, with a black and blue tie.
Davis wore a blue suit with a red tie. Sam was wearing a pair of shorts, and a dressy T-shirt. Tk was wearing a tux. Ken was wearing a tux, with a rose in the pocket. Serene was wearing a light blue dress. She had her hair in a French twist with curls framing her face. Cody was in a black suit with a navy blue tie. Courtney had her blond hair in a tight bun, and she was wearing a peach colored dress that went down to her calves.
"Cody!" Cody was bombard with hugs and hand shakes. After the commotion had settled down, everyone began socializing with their old friends. They kids were running around the room.
Davis, Cody, and Ken were near the punch bowl talking.
"So how's the job Cody?" Ken asked taking a sip of his punch.
"It's ok. I had this recent case, where a grandfather was sueing his grandson. I think it was the funniest case I ever had." Cody, Ken, and Davis began laughing.
"So when are you and Courtney gonna tie the knot." Davis said elbowing Cody.
"I don't know. We recently broke up, then just got back together. She was so happy to come down to London. To see all of you guys."
"I missed her. She has to be my favorite friend's girlfriend." Davis smiled at Cody. The three began laughing again.

Kari, Courtney, Yolei, and Sandra were by one of the windows in the hall, they were laughing and chatting.
"I think it was when he said, I hate your mom, that was when I realized he wasn't for the whole thanks giving dinner." The girls began laughing again.
"No, no, no. I remember one Christmas party at Joe's house. His brother came over and spilt wine on my new, white dress. I got so angry I screamed at him. Joe got angry as well, but at me. When we got home I said I hated his brother. He wouldn't talk to me for three days. Guys are just...ahh." Sandra finished giggling. The other girls joined in.

Mimi, Sora, and Izzy were sitting at the table.
"I can't wait to have this kid. I am going to be ecstatic." Mimi said trying to get comfortable.
"Yolei was so different. She wanted to stay pregnant for the rest of her life. Until she got to the hospitable. All she did was yell and scream at the doctors and me." Izzy chuckled.
"My first pregnancy was like Mimi's, I wanted it out. But when I was having Raye it was a split feeling. I wanted to get her out, but I didn't want to let her go."
"Did Tai want to know if it was a girl or a boy?" Izzy asked taking a sip of his drink.
"Yep, he hounded the doctor for both Tommy and Raye."
"Matt doesn't want to know."
"You know, though, right?"
"Yep."
"Oh, what is it?" Mimi leaned in closer to Izzy and Sora and told them.
"Is that what Matt wanted?" Mimi shrugged her shoulders. Sora and Izzy began laughing.

Matt, Joe, Tai, and Tk were towards the back of the room.
"But I want to know." Whined Tai. Tk shook his had.
"I am not going to tell you. Kari would kill me."
"So..." Tai said making a face. Matt and Joe just chuckled at Tai's and Tk's antics.
"Hey Joe, when are you and Sandra gonna have some kids?"
"Well for your information, me and Sandra want to wait till our jobs cool down a bit." Tai and Matt nodded their heads.
"I wish I waited till my job had cooled down." Matt aid.
"Awe... little Matty-watty's big producing job taking a toll on him." Matt shot Tai a death glare.
"You mean you didn't plan on having this baby." Tk asked confused.
"Nope... does anyone ever really?" Matt said. Tai and Joe shook ther heads. Tk just gave them a weird look and took a sip of his drink.
"Ok Everyone Dinner Is Ready!" Kari said through out the hall. Everyone went towards the table.

It was already time for dessert. Everyone was talking to the person across from them or next to them. Kari smiled inwardly to herself and looked to the end of the table at Tk, who was currently talking to Cody. Tk turned his head and caught Kari smiling at him. He smiled back, then went back to his conversation. Kari turned her head and got involved in a conversation with Yolei and Sora.

"That was a great party Kari. Goodnight." Tai kissed his sister's cheek and walked to his room. Kari smiled and went into the kitchen. She took down a bag of cookies and took out two.
"Sneaking food." Kari turned around, dropping the bag of cookies.
"Oh god Mimi, you scared me." Kari bent down and picked up the bags and put them on the counter.
"Sorry, Can you spare one?" Kari nodded her head and passed her a cookie. "Thanks."
"Shouldn't you be asleep?"
"I was hungry... well actually she was hungry." Mimi said holding her stomach.
"I can't believe you're having a girl." Kari said sitting across from Mimi. Mimi smiled and sighed.
"I can." Kari smiled. Mimi finished her cookie. "Well I am off to bed. 'Night."
"Night Mimi." Kari watched as Mimi got up and went down the hall. Kari sat back and finished her cookie. 'Tomorrow. We'll tell them tomorrow.'
