Ok, here's the last chapter! SORRY FOR THE BREAK! Homework! Grrr. Anyways, you know everything. So, sniff, sorry!

For the record, I have not gone to any social activities in school; so don't make fun of me just because I made mistakes about dance!

************************************************************************

May 14-one more month of school for Katy, Texas. In the halls of the high school, talks of dances were going all over. Everybody was nervous with dates and looks. Girls were giggling, making plans on how to get the cutest stud; boys were blushing when girls stared at them, trying to get the best- looking one.

Ken, Takeru, and Daisuke were talking amongst themselves about their dates. Ken had picked up one of the computer girls named Miyako, a cheerful, intelligent violet-haired girl who was in 9th grade. Takeru somehow was able to get Heather, a tough, funny blonde who was on the girls' basketball team. Daisuke was, of course, going out with Hikari, the rebel rocker, whose band would be performing during the dance.

"I mean, how could Heather resist a fellow, not to mention, hot blonde? It was a perfect match," Takeru bragged, trying his best to mock the A.M. football players, which he was succeeding at. Ken laughed.

"Dude, with an ego as yours, I'm surprised she even listened to the first word that came out of your mouth!" As Takeru mocked a pout, Daisuke chuckled to himself, trying to bury himself into his Algebra book. Despite everything about the event, teachers were giving out tests, trying to raise everybody's grade. He was happy to see that this year, he was doing a lot better than last. Most of them have been B/A's, which made his dad happy.

His father, who was doing better, had rented a nice tux for Daisuke, and the brown-haired boy was going without his goggles, which would probably change his look completely. Takeru had also promised to go without his hat, which would also earn a lot of stares from their peers. Ok, so this freshman dance was not as great as a senior prom, and not so important that all will remember it, but still, it was better than just a little party in the classes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(After school)

"Ok guys, that's a wrap!" Hikari said to her band members, who all gave relieved sighs. As she left to go get packed, she could hear they all chatter about their dates. Apparently Jacob had picked up a cheerleader named Lara, Will got a girl from his art class named Vivi, and Harold picked up a nice, shy newcomer named Rachel.

She sighed, shaking her head as she stuffed her notes into her bag. She was still nervous. Yes, she was going with Daisuke, and who could resist that? Yet, she still would need help with getting fixed. She was a singer, not a fashion girl!

She sighed once again, picking her bag up and swinging it over her shoulder. Walking out, she smiled and waved to her friends, who waved back and left.

Walking out to the school courtyard, she looked up to the sky to see the small outline of an airplane standing out of the blue. With that, her heart lifted up. Taichi would be coming back with his girlfriend! She had never met this girl, but she seemed to be nice. They met when they were playing football at college, apparently, so he wanted everybody to meet her.

Her grin became wider. She would also get to meet Daisuke's sister, Jun; from him, she seemed like a real nice person. He told her, yes she was stubborn, yet a really nice girl if you warmed up to.

Digging out her cellphone, dialing her mom's number. When she heard the click, she said, "Hey mom? Yeah, listen, can I go shopping for a dress? Ok, sure. Ok, thanks. Bye!" With that, she slid it back into her bag, then began to walk to the bus stop to catch a bus to the mall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the mall, she went to "Risa's All Dress Shop". Licking her lips, she began fingering the black dresses. Picking one out, she held it up against her body, seeing if it was the right size.

She suddenly looked up to see a violet haired girl and a blonde. Frowning, she thought these were the two Ken and Takeru were going with. The one with the glasses was Miyako, she guesses, as the blonde she took as Heather. Both were chattering and giggling to each other.

She walked over, tapping the blonde's shoulder. Heather turned around and said, "Oh, hey. What?"

Hikari tilted her head to the side, "You're Heather, right?"

She nodded, then suddenly recognized her. "You must be Hikari! Takeru's been talking all about you and Daisuke."

She nodded, and Miyako chirped up, "So you're the rebel who beat up Stephan! That's must have taken guts!"

She smiled, and said, "No, not really. He may be all body, but he's a real dunce inside." All three giggled.

"Oh, I saw Lani the other day, and she look PISSED off! Kept muttering about a rocker bitch," Heather said, acting like she was trying to figure out who Lani was talking about.

Hikari decided to change the subject. Not that jeering at the two wasn't fun; she just needed help with clothes. "Hey, you two are used to picking out dresses, right?"

Heather groaned, "No, Miyako is." Miyako laughed. "Well, with two older sister, you have to know a lot about dresses."

"Ok, well, do you think you can help me?" Hikari eagerly asked. Miyako looked thoughtful, then snapped her fingers. "Honey, with you, you go better with pink."

Heather nodded, "I agree. Sort of a light pink." She walked over to the pink dresses, then began selecting. "Ok, no, no, no. Hey, if anybody told me I was going to have more fun picking out dresses than sports supplies before this, I would have told them they're nuts!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

May 14, a Friday night, was the night of the freshman prom.

Daisuke, Takeru, and Ken agreed to wait at the bush near the front door at 6 for their dates. Daisuke and Takeru had received many looks from others; both went with their head left alone.

When the three girls came, they took their date's voices away.

Hikari came in a thin-strap, light pink dress that came to her ankles with black high heels. A black shawl was around her shoulders, and her hair had a nice, butterfly pin in it. She still wore her choker and necklace, which sparkled in the darkening evening.

Miyako walk with her hair in a nice bun, with a short-sleeved crimson dress. Her glasses were still on her face, but they looked smaller; she had on mascara, courtesy of her sisters, who were in their senior year.

Heather had a one-strap gold dress that also touched her ankles; her hair that was usually in a ponytail was down, which gave her a nice look. Actually, she looked really different, being a tomboy and always seen in a jersey.

Ken smiled, and took Miyako's hand, leading her into the gym. The other two followed suit.

The gym had an actual DJ playing. Where he was playing, Hikari's band equipment was set up. When the first and second dance came, she would be playing her two songs.

Daisuke could see her fidget, glancing up at the stage. He smile, and knelt down to whisper, "Don't worry. You'll be great."

She smiled back. "Really? Hope you like the first one: it's about you."

"Really? Wow, I feel honored!"

She laughed, then look around for her members. She grinned as she saw them all huddled together, with their dates. They did look nice, she had to admit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ok, everybody. Time to dance. Our new band will play the first two songs, 'Black Needles'."

Everybody applauded, as they made their way up. Mr. Rosen stepped back a few steps to allow them to come up and winked at Hikari, who smiled back. Pray to the gods it would be a success.

As everybody moved in place, she began to sing, soon forgetting about who was there.

You're Alone in This Game

Forgotten and Afraid

With No Light to Guide You

NO Guardian Angel

To Look After You

The Only One You Have

Is Yourself

(Chorus)

High School Loser

Nobody Likes You

Held Back A Grade

Had a Popular Sister

Has a Drunk Daddy

Ya Mommy is Dead

High School Loser

Nobody There To

Help You Through School

You're On Your Own

For this Teen-age Journey

You Have Nothin' and Nobody But

You

(End Chorus)

No One in Your Life

You Can Turn To

All You Have

Is You

Not The Most Popular

Mediocre at Football

You Only Have

Yourself in This World

(Chorus again)

What Ever Happened To

The Rules?

When a Lonely Child Had

To Go Through This

Crazy World of Ours

By Himself?

I Don't Know 'Bout

The Rest of You All,

But I'm by his Side,

Replacing For His Angel

There's Just Ain't Room

Enough Anymore For a

High-School Loser Like You

(Chorus last time)

High School Loser

Nobody Likes You

Held Back A Grade

Had a Popular Sister

Has a Drunk Daddy

Ya Mommy is Dead

High School Loser

You Have Only Me to Guide You

Through this Crazy

Teen-age Journey

You Have Nothin', Yet

You Have Nobody But

Me

She opened her eyes, smiling at the applause from everybody. Some boys began to put their fingers to their lips and whistle. Grinning wider, she looked to her team and began to sing, "Rebellion".

I don't wanna listen

no more

I don't wanna do anything'

No more

All I wanna do

Is rock this world of mine

I don't wanna do this

I don't wanna do that

Just give me a break

To be a teen

(Chorus)

Maybe it's time to

Start a rebellion

Maybe it's time to

Show you how to rock

Maybe it's time to show you

I can walk by myself

Maybe it's time

To rebel

(End chorus)

Please

Don't wanna eat this

No more

Please

Don't wanna be

Led around no more

Please

All I'm just asking

Is to be allowed

To have freedom

I'm a teen

That's all there is to

I'm not some person

To yell at work

I'm not your

Little angel

I'm responsible for myself

And that's all there is

To it

(Chorus)

Maybe it's time to

Start a rebellion

Maybe it's time to

Show you how to rock

Maybe it's time to show you

I can walk by myself

Maybe it's time

To rebel

(End chorus)

Gotta learn that now we

Aren't like you in

Them old days

Gotta teach you

That we can be better

Than y'all

Gotta show you

I can fly by myself

With nobody needed beside me

(Chorus)

Maybe it's time to

Start a rebellion

Maybe it's time to

Show you how to rock

Maybe it's time to show you

I can walk by myself

Maybe it's time

To rebel

(End chorus and song)

She smiled, as the other males got up and bowed deeply to the crowd, who were clapping furiously.

Walking down the stairs after that, she looked around for Daisuke, smiling when she saw he was standing there with a look of satisfaction on his face.

As she walked towards him, he pecked her on the cheek, muttering in her ear, "You were great."

She smiled, and muttered back, "Well? May I have this dance, kind sir?"

"But of course."

"Wait," she said, stopping. Grabbing him, they stared into their eyes, brown into red. Like on the soccer field, they blocked out the other people. Soon, they locked lips, savoring this sweet moment.

After a while, they pulled away, and began to dance to the music, all smiles.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Next day, airport)

All six of the kids were there, awaiting their arriving siblings.

Ken, whose brother had died and was a best friend to Jun, was just there for Daisuke. Takeru also had an older brother named Yamato, who he really wasn't able to see because their parents had split. The two girls just wanted to meet the college people.

Hikari, Takeru, and Daisuke were giddy. Even if it had been only a year, they were still nervous of the meeting.

Soon, the announcement: "Flight 538 from Boston, Massachusetts is now arriving at Gate 14."

"That's them," Ken quietly commented. They nodded, then started down to the departing gate to meet them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"There they are!" Takeru suddenly yelled to the right, pointing and running off. The others took off after them.

Eight people came out of the airport: Taichi, his brown hair even bushier than before, with his arms around the strawberry-haired, who he had wrote took tennis and football and flower-arranging. Hikari smiled, and went over to hug her brother, who grinned and squeezed his baby sister.

Yamato came out, laughing with a pink-haired girl who Takeru took for as his girlfriend, Mimi. They stopped and walked over to them to say hello to him. Yamato, having not seen him for 2 years, gave his brother a noogie, who squirmed under his grasp.

Daisuke, who inhaled sharply, finally saw his sister again. She was in the arms of a guy who she had called as Erek. Walking over, he nearly took all of the breath out of her, yet she forgave him and gave him one of her playful slaps on his cheek. He grinned, and thought of how great the summer would be.
