#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~
'DING DONG!'
'Tai will you get that? I'm just putting some food out.'
'Sisters these days' thought Tai rolling his eyes.
He opened the door to his best friend and his brother with their stuff, bags of popcorn and smiling faces.
Tai eyed the popcorn doubtfully, standing aside letting them in.
'What's the matter? Didn't we bring enough?' asked Matt.
'Er, no, in fact we kinda have a lot already. Hey TK why don't you take it into the kitchen, Kari's in there doing God knows what.'
'OK!' said TK, a little bit too quickly. Blushing, he hurried off to meet his best friend.
'So Tai, when's everybody else com-'
'DING DONG!'
'Guess that's them now.'
This time he opened the door to his girlfriend, Mimi, Joe and Izzy.
'Hey guys, come on in,' he said, greeting Sora with a kiss. Next to him Matt was doing the same to Mimi. Joe and Izzy just glanced at each other and claimed their beds at one end of the room.
'So, are any of the others here yet?'
'No. Kari and TK are in the kitchen getting the food ready.'
Mimi and Sora exchanged knowing glances.
'We brought popcorn,' Joe interrupted. We figured that we might need some,' he said, referring to the two big bags on his 'bed'.
'That's strange, so did we,' Mimi started to say, before being interrupted by the doorbell.
Matt opened the door to four smiling faces, each carrying bulging bags, of which he reckoned he could take a guess at what was inside. Davis leapt in straight away, followed by Cody who was then followed by Yolei with Ken's arm round her shoulder.
'Where's Kari?' asked Davis.
'Never mind that, hey we brought loads of popcorn! It might be a bit much, but we'll probably eat it all anyway, knowing Davis.' Yolei said quickly, ignoring Davis' pouting at being interrupted.
A few minutes later everybody was in the family room talking. Cody had sat himself between Joe and Izzy, who was already on his Pineapple laptop.
Tai put Now 55 on the CD player.
'Well, we'll see you later guys' said Mimi, who was shoving Yolei and Kari into the bedroom.
Sora closed the door behind them and grinned.
'Right, now for the real party to start.'
'Erm, what do you mean 'real party'? And why are we in here at this time?' Yolei asked worriedly.
'All will be revealed. Right, let's start.'
'What exactly are we doing?' asked Kari, getting the feeling that she wasn't going to like it, whatever it was.
'Truth of course!' exclaimed Mimi a little too hyper actively.
Meanwhile....
'So, now that the girls have gone, what shall we do?'
There was an audible sigh by TK, Joe, Cody and Izzy, who didn't want to be the ones to watch pairs of boyfriends and girlfriends all night.
' I dunno. We could watch a video.'
'Nah, too early for that.'
'I'M NOT PLAYING TRUTH MIMI AND THAT'S FINAL!' All the boys heard Yolei's voice screaming clearly.
Kari's room..
'Oh come on, Yolei. Your with Ken now so you don't have to hide the fact that you like him anymore, do you?'
'S'pose.'
Kari just sat there, panic-stricken. Now she understood why Mimi and Sora had wanted to play this, so they could get her to admit her true feelings for her best friend. 'Dammit' she thought in her head, though it must have shown on her face, because Sora asked mischievously:
'You don't have anything to hide do you Kari?'
'No,' she managed to squeak.
'Then let's play!'
Back to the boys.
'There is absolutely no way that I'm spying on the girls! It's a private conversation!' Joe exclaimed for what seemed like the thousandth time in two minutes.
'Fine.' Tai muttered. 'But all I'm saying is that your gonna miss out on some great secrets.'
'Yeah, private secrets!'
'Oh leave him, Tai.' Matt said quickly. He sneaked up to the door and put a strange sort of device on the door of Kari's room, which magnified the sound within it. He had just happened to bring it along after extensive hints from Mimi ever since she had found out about the sleepover. 'Everybody quiet. We don't want them to find out that we're listening in.otherwise we're dead meat.'
Kari's Room.
'OK I'll start,' Sora told the other three girls who were sitting in a sort of semi circle. ' Who's gonna be my victim then?' she asked, looking hopefully at Kari.
'I will!' yelled Yolei. Mimi scowled at her and motioned towards Kari. Suddenly, Yolei gets what she's trying to say, and screeches delightfully at playing matchmaker.
The Boys.
'What the hell was that for?' whispered Tai and Matt at the exact same time, covering their ears.
'Hey, Yolei's nice. She's just going to try and er.help out a friend.' Ken said knowledgably. 'She can just get a little too excited some times though.not that I'm saying that's a bad thing.' he stopped noticing that the boys around him were looking at him strangely.
Kari's Room.
'Erm, actually I've changed my mind. Why don't you go Kari?'
'No. You wanted to go so you are going first to be asked a question,' Kari said with relief that Yolei caught on to Sora and Mimi's plan that bit too late.
Sora, disappointed, asked:
'Ok as this is kinda a very personal question, you only have to tell me.' Mimi and Kari sighed. ' How far do you think you and Ken will go with your relationship?' she knew it was a really bad truth, but she hadn't thought of any for Yolei so she had had to think fast.
Yolei blushed and leaned forward to whisper in Sora's ear. Sora's grin grew wider as Yolei finished what she was saying.
The Other Side of the Door.
'This sucks! Why does Sora have to be so nice?!'
'Calm down, guys. I think Joe's right, this is like prying into their private life!'
'Cody's right,' added TK. As much as he wanted to hear what Kari thought of him, he didn't want to find out in this sort of way.
'You guys are no fun,' Davis replied. 'This is one of the only ways that Kari can express her feelings for me without being embarrassed!'
'Oh grow up, Davis.'
Kari's Room.
'Right. Soooo, Kari.'
A voice inside her head told her what was coming.
'Yeah?' she asked quietly.
'Ok, we all know that you have a crush on someone.now who is it? Come on, you have to tell the truth! Is it.'
The Boys.
'Is it.' the boys waited with baited breaths, especially Tai and TK. Suddenly the strange device-that-I-don't-have-a-name-for beeped once and the little flashing light went off.
'Dammit! I forgot to charge up the battery!' cried Matt.
Kari's Room.
'.TK?'
Kari suddenly found the floor very interesting and slowly began to change to an amazing shade of red. She tried to pretend not to notice that her face was as red as a tomato, but it was useless.
'I KNEW IT!' yelled Yolei at the exact same time that Mimi did. Sora grinned triumphantly at the poor young girl sitting before her. 'Tai's gonna kill me after this,' she thought. Then again it was worth it to have her and Mimi's (and now Yolei's) suspicions confirmed.
Meanwhile.
'Who is it?' Tai glared at the boys around him. Though he knew perfectly well who it was. He remembered exactly what he had found in his sister's diary.
Dear Diary,
I think I'm going mad. Today I went bowling with TK and as soon as I saw him I felt different than I usually do. My heart kind of gave a little leap when I saw him coming out of his apartment. I even blushed, dammit, when he said 'hi' to me. Not that he noticed, of course. I don't believe it, I think I'm falling in love with my best friend! This is truly awful though. We've known each other since we were eight years old and now I can never even look him in the eye without going red or doing something stupid. He's bound to notice sometime.he's not exactly stupid is he? Now I understand how all those girls at school feel about him, but they only like him for his looks, whereas he's always been there for me, all those times in the Digital World when he pretended not to be afraid in front of me. He was so sweet back then, of course he still his.oh I really need someone to tell me what to do! He'll never fell the same way, he'll never think of me as more than a best friend. I can't even tell Tai, he'll tease me about it forever and he'll probably tell Matt who's gonna tell.
He smiled privately to himself. The thing is, he knew that TK did like his sister as more than a best friend, even he was not that stupid. It was pretty obvious, but he didn't have the heart to tell either of them. He had even talked about it with Sora, and she reckoned that the only person who could tell them was each other.
TK had gone unusually quiet. A tiny part of him, the hope which had earned him his crest, thought maybe.just maybe.but then again, what was the chance in that? She was one of the most popular girls in school, she had boys swarming all over her, why would she pick him?
Kari's Room.
'Guys I'm gonna go and get some popcorn from the kitchen, OK?' Kari stated, she wanted to be out of the room as much as possible, now that the DigiDestined girls knew her biggest secret.
'Fine. Can you get some M 'n' Ms too?' asked Yolei, who was practically exploding with excitement.
'And hurry up!' Mimi added quickly
'OK.'
She stood up and walked to the door, towards the unsuspecting boys, who were now fighting over the device and who should get to fix it.
The door opened suddenly, knocking Tai, Matt, Ken and Davis onto the floor, on top of TK, Cody, Joe and Izzy.
'What the hell are you guys doing?' Then she suddenly realised, 'Mimi! Sor- '
Tai tackled her as softly as possible to the ground, covering her mouth as he did so. He whispered in her ear,
'The thing cut out before we could hear who your 'lover boy' was.'
Although she was in a very uncomfortable position, Kari was still flooded with relief, though tried to act like nothing had happened.
Kari's Room.
'Did you just hear something? I'm sure I heard Kari just now.' started Sora, but Mimi cut her short.
'No! I mean, it's probably the boys, you know how much noise they make.heh heh.'she finished with a fake chuckle. Luckily for her, the other two didn't notice, and continued playing with each other's hair.
The Boys (and Kari).
'I am a HOSTAGE????' Kari screamed in a whisper (you know what I mean).
Tai had reluctantly let his sister breathe, after making her promise not to make any noise above a whisper.
'Your not really a hostage, just...well yeah you are a hostage. Only until the rest of the girls come out of the bedroom.' Matt decided to add onto the end of the sentence.
Davis pulled her down onto the floor next to him.
'Come on Kari, you don't have to be shy.I know you like me as more than just a friend here.come on, admit it.'
'Davis! Stop harassing my sister!'
'And I've told you already, Davis, you're a great friend and stuff, it's just I don't see you that way, alright?' she really wanted to get the message across to him, but he never seemed to get it.
'But-'
'Can't you just leave her alone? She said she doesn't want that sort of relationship, so just leave it!' Everybody looked at TK, surprised at his outburst. He generally only ever became mad when it was something to do with the powers of darkness, not over something as small as this.
'Oh, and I suppose you would be better for her TS?'
The other boys glanced at each other, knowing that this could turn nasty.
'At least I don't hound her like you do! Following her around everywhere she goes like an obsessed maniac.'
'At least I care about her TC!' This time he had gone too far. The next thing Davis saw was stars as he was hit in the face with a well-placed punch from his 'rival'. He recovered quickly though, and lunged out at TK, only just intercepted by Matt in time. Together Matt and Tai ( I know I use them a lot) managed to prise them apart, though that didn't stop them from shouting curses at each other. All this commotion made the girls come out of the bedroom just in time to see Kari crying shouting:
'Will you stop it please! I've had enough of you two, fighting over me like some sort of possession!' she ran sobbing into the bathroom and slammed the door. Even though she kind of liked it when TK did that, she just wished that he'd be a bit more sensitive to her feelings sometimes.
'Now see what you've done!' yelled Tai angrily at the two younger boys.
'I'll go talk to her.' TK said sadly. He was ashamed of how he had acted, and he wanted to apologise.
'No. I'll do it, I'm her brother.'
'Tai,' Sora said, placing an arm on his shoulder, 'I know this may seem like a crazy idea, but maybe it's best if TK goes. Even though he was part of the fight, he's her best friend too.'
Tai melted at Sora's words.
'Fine. But don't be too long.'
Davis looked as though he was about to say something, but Ken's glare made him stop just in time.
In the Bathroom.
Kari heard a knock on the door. She lifted her head up from her knees, expecting her brother or Sora, but instead finding TK looking down at her sadly.
'Look, Kari, I know your really mad at me. I honestly don't know why I blew up like that, it's not like me to do that over something like this. I know you probably might not forgive me, for a while yet, anyway, but I just came to say I'm sorry.'
'It's not your fault,' Kari sighed. 'It's Davis. He started it. I just wish that he's get the message, but I don't want to be mean to him, he's really nice to me all the time and I feel really guilty that I can never give him what he wants.'
'Sometimes you've gotta be cruel to be kind, Kari. If you don't tell him now, he'll never get it.'
'But I have told him! He just won't listen! If only there was another way, it would be so much simpler!' But thanks anyway.'
TK stood there in disbelief. 'Er, thanks for what?'
'For being there for me, for sticking up for me. I really appreciate it,' she smiled her sweet smile that he had grown to fall in love with.
'Mmmm maybe we getter go back to the others before Tai thinks I've killed you.'
'Yeah.'
He pulled her to her feet and they entered the family room where the others had started to play on the Xbox.
'That was quick,' remarked Izzy, looking up from his laptop.
'Yeah well,' Kari sniffed. 'I feel a lot better now. Where's Davis?'
'Gone to the video store with Ken,' replied Yolei. So how about some popcorn and M 'n' Ms then Kari?'
'K.'
About 3 Simpsons' Road Rages later, Davis and Ken returned from the BlockBuster a few streets away with the video.
'What did you get?'
'It better not be a boring action film..'
'I hope it's not a sci-fi.'
'Did you get a comedy?'
'Wow hold on,' Davis stopped the various statements throughout the room. 'We got two.'
'Well Ken?' Joe asked.
'We've got 'The Haunting' and 'Johnny English.' There was a murmur of approval throughout the group.
(A/N: I love those films! ' The Haunting ' is really good 'cause it has a story to it as well as horror, and Johnny English is so un realistic but hilarious! (At least I hope all the agents in England haven't all been blown up.oh dear.))
'Well I guess they're better than some of the films you could have picked,' remarked Cody.
'Yeah. But it's too early to watch them yet, especially 'The Haunting', you need to watch that one in the dark.'
'So what are we going to do until then?'
'We could play a game.,' Sora started, before Mimi finished her sentence for her.
'like Truth or Dare!'
All the boys groaned at the suggestion.
'Well do you have any better ideas Ken?' asked Yolei.
'I uh, well I mean.'
'Exactly. So let's start playing!'

'But I have told him! He just won't listen! If only there was another way, it would be so much simpler!' But thanks anyway.'
TK stood there in disbelief. 'Er, thanks for what?'
'For being there for me, for sticking up for me. I really appreciate it,' she smiled her sweet smile that he had grown to fall in love with.
'Mmmm maybe we getter go back to the others before Tai thinks I've killed you.'
'Yeah.'
He pulled her to her feet and they entered the family room where the others had started to play on the Xbox.
'That was quick,' remarked Izzy, looking up from his laptop.
'Yeah well,' Kari sniffed. 'I feel a lot better now. Where's Davis?'
'Gone to the video store with Ken,' replied Yolei. So how about some popcorn and M 'n' Ms then Kari?'
'K.'
About 3 Simpsons' Road Rages later, Davis and Ken returned from the BlockBuster a few streets away with the video.
'What did you get?'
'It better not be a boring action film..'
'I hope it's not a sci-fi.'
'Did you get a comedy?'
'Wow hold on,' Davis stopped the various statements throughout the room. 'We got two.'
'Well Ken?' Joe asked.
'We've got 'The Haunting' and 'Johnny English.' There was a murmur of approval throughout the group.
(A/N: I love those films! ' The Haunting ' is really good 'cause it has a story to it as well as horror, and Johnny English is so un realistic but hilarious! (At least I hope all the agents in England haven't all been blown up.oh dear.))
'Well I guess they're better than some of the films you could have picked,' remarked Cody.
'Yeah. But it's too early to watch them yet, especially 'The Haunting', you need to watch that one in the dark.'
'So what are we going to do until then?'
'We could play a game.,' Sora started, before Mimi finished her sentence for her.
'like Truth or Dare!'
All the boys groaned at the suggestion.
'Well do you have any better ideas Ken?' asked Yolei.
'I uh, well I mean.'
'Exactly. So let's start playing!'
