Desperate Days

Chapter 2

"Well, I hope Mom will let us go with Ken and Izzy…" Kari said to Tai thoughtfully.

"Of course she will, Kari." He answered kicking his feet up onto the table, totally relaxed. "We have to support them." He winked. "While I check out the cute Canadian girls."

Kari rolled her eyes. "You do that Tai. But what about everyone else? Will they be allowed?"

"Yeah, once they say the magic word." Tai answered confidently.

"Huh?"

"Educational." Tai replied looking smug.

Kari sweatdropped. "Right…I'm going over to T.K.'s. We're having a meeting there."

"Sure have fun." Tai said sipping his drink.

At that moment the door banged open and Davis rushed in. Since it was so unexpected, and because Tai was off balance, the chair slipped from underneath Tai and sent him sprawling onto the floor, his drink falling all over his head.

"Kari! You're coming right? I thought I'd walk you there!" Davis said all in one breath, clearly excited, until he saw Tai's revengeful face look at him from the apartment floor. "Oh hey Tai…" He said timidly.

"DAVIS!!!!!" Tai yelled.

"Ok, I'm out!" Davis cried, pulling Kari with him as he ran out of the door.

"DAVIS, YOU'LL PAY!!!" Came Tai's reply as Davis slammed the door behind them.

"Davis, you're really in trouble now!" Kari said as she was being dragged. "And I can walk myself."

"Sorry Kari, I just wanted to get out of there quick!" Davis replied as DemiVeemon laughed at him from his backpack.

"You shouldn't say sorry to me, you should say it to Tai, he's not gonna let it go!"

Madison was just sitting at home sewing when an idea hit her. She got up and walked over to the phone to call her best friend.

"Hello?"

"Sakura? It's Madison. I just got the best idea!"

"What is it Madison?" Sakura asked knowing she was going to regret it.

"LET'S GO TO CANADA!!"

"Madison! Are you crazy!? How and why are we going to Canada?"

"We're going because we want to support Li and Eriol. And I can get you there! Oh come on Sakura! It'll be fun!"

"I don't think I can get my dad to let me go to Canada Madison… I mean, you know we still have school. They just won't let us go to Canada just to support two of our friends."

"I got it! We can make it a class trip! Every one can go then! I could get my mom to arrange it! She's a whiz when it comes to making people see her way."

"Yeah, but can you make her to see your way? I have big doubts about this Madison. But you go give it a try."

"Hey, I have ways with my mother. It will be done! But you have to admit; it's a good idea. Just think about it, this way you won't have to be separated from your precious Li," Madison teased.

"Oh Madison shut up! Besides you probably just wanna do this so your not separated from your precious Eriol!" Sakura shot back.

"So what? Maybe that is one of the main reasons! At least I'm not hiding it!"

"Alright, alright, you win. If you pull this off Madison… I'll give you A LOT of credit," Sakura sighed.

"Oh I will pull this off Sakura. I will," Madison said as she hung up the phone.

"Madison my friend… what am I going to do with you?" Sakura asked herself while putting the phone back on it's cradle.

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

"So you and James are in that IQ thing huh?" Jen asked with her mouth full of food. "You should've asked me, I'm smarter."

"But James really wanted to be entered in it, and besides, I feel sorry for the guy." Traci answered.

"But he said that he wasn't sure."

"Trust me, I know him."

"I still think you should've asked me. Just remind me to say I told you so when you lose." Jen answered smugly.

"We're not going to lose! You're just mad because you don't have anyone to go in it with you." Traci replied scolding.

"I would if you hadn't picked that son of a…. Oh hey there James!" Jen nervously smiled as he brought his lunch tray to their table.

"Hey Traci." James said, ignoring Jen. Jen became indignant and decided to leave.

" I'll be in the library if you want to talk to me." She said to Traci.

"So are you excited about the IQ test?" James asked. "You look like you are."

"Just a bit. What about you?"

"It doesn't really matter…not like I have anyone to show it to." James answered eating.

"Com'n you wanted to do it! Admit it!"

James smiled ruefully. "A bit yeah, I guess."

"I knew it! I told Jen I knew you!" Traci sighed with satisfaction.

All of sudden Jen came tearing back into the cafeteria. "Where's my purse?" She asked gasping for breath.

"Over here, right where you left it." Traci held it up for her.

Jen looked through her purse. "My wallet!" She exclaimed. "It's not in here!"

"Did you leave it somewhere else?" Traci asked.

"No I haven't used it all day, but I saw it in my purse just this afternoon! YOU!" Jen glared at James. "You took it didn't you? You rotten little bastard! Give it back!"

James looked at her with menace. "I wouldn't touch your piece of shit purse."

"He was here with me the whole time and he didn't touch your purse." Traci stated.

"Quit sticking up for him!" Jen cried. "He's a no good, stealer, liar and cheat!"

"And you're nothing but a stubborn, arrogant, bit-"

"James! Jen! Enough! Please! Jen James didn't take your wallet, apologize for accusing him."

"I want an apology too." Jen answered fiercely.

"Why? I didn't do anything!" James yelled.

"Stop! James, apologize for swearing at her."

"But she swore too!"

Traci gave him a look. "Just do it."

"She has to say it first." James said.

"No! He started it!" Jen yelled.

"How the hell did I start it?!" James exclaimed.

"I said hi and you never answered." Jen replied.

"Please just one of you-"

"I told you she was stubborn!" James said, cutting Traci off.

"ENOUGH!"

James and Jen looked at Traci warily. She glared at both of them. "On the count of three you guys apologize. 1…2…3!"

"Sorry." James and Jen mumbled.

"I'm out of here." James said, as he rose.

"No James wait! I'll come with you!" Traci replied scrambling up after him.

"No. I want to be alone."

"Great! I'll go with you!" She answered.

"Great I'll go with you…" Jen mimicked.

"Jen!"

"Ok I'm gone!" Jen said, "Don't have to tell me twice."

"Good riddance," James said under his breath.

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

At TK's house Kari and Davis just arrived.

"Sorry we're late… we had to take a detour to lose my brother…" Kari said gasping for breath. "It's a long story…"

"Yea… we'll tell you later," Davis added.

"Well at least you're here," TK said. "So what did you guys wanna do?" TK asked sitting down in the living room.

"Hey we could always play strip pok-" Davis was interrupted by the phone.

"Hello?" TK asked.

"Hey TK, is Davis there?" Tai asked.

"Yea he is why?"

"I need to see him. I'll be right over," Tai said laughing evilly.

"Okaay. Come on over," TK said unsure if he should let Tai into his house. "We'll all be here."

"Great," Tai said as he hung up the phone.

"Davis, Tai's going to come over in a few minutes… he said he needed to talk with you."

"Really?!" Davis squeaked. "Um… I think I should go…" Davis said as he slowly made his way to the door. "Um… BYE!!" As Davis opened the door there stood a very angry Tai. "Eep!" Davis squeaked again.

"I think somebody needs to be pounded…" Tai said looking at Davis.

"Um…" Davis started looking for something wise to say (Not his forte.) "You mean TB?" Davis asked. "I'll help you!" He said tuning around to look at TK.

"What?" TK asked not understanding why Tai would want to beat him up.

As Davis was about to move forward Tai grabbed the back of his shirt collar and dragged him back.

"No Davis. You," Tai said fiercely.

"Uh oh," Davis said as he once again tried to get to the door. Forgetting that Tai had him by the shirt. "Tai? Buddy, pal, it was an accident! I swear! I didn't mean to spill your drink…" Davis added as an after thought. "And make you fall which by the way was very graceful… and then the drink spilt into your hair…. I'm SORRY!!" Davis yelled as he fell to the ground holding his head preparing for the blow. Tai slammed his fist into the wall and made a huge BANG!! "AHH!!!" Davis yelled as he jumped up from his crouching position. Tai started laughing, which in turn made every body start laughing. Davis peeked his head up from his arms to see what was so funny.

"You, you should have, seen the look on your face!" Tai said between laughing fits.

"Wha?" Davis asked getting up. "You, you mean you weren't going to beat me up?"

"Of course not!" Tai laughed. "You actually think I would beat up one of my friends? Besides Matt that is, but he deserved it." Tai asked.

"Well… you were so, so, I don't know… fierce," Davis told him.

"Davis," Tai said putting his arm around his shoulder and then whispered in his ear. "I would never do anything to you with so many witnesses." Davis gulped while Tai smiled evilly.

"Hehe, you're just kidding…. right Tai?" Davis asked nervously.

"Maybe," He told him. Davis gulped again.

"So," Tai started, "What do you guys have to eat?"

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

"So, have you read 'It's Not Easy Being A Genius Part1'?" Izzy asked Ken. " I find it very enlightening and inspiring…so true…"

"Yes, I read it. I think that some of the methods will be very advantageous." Ken answered happily.

"Good, we'll need to be competent if we want to win this." Izzy stated pouring over 'It's Not Easy Being A Genius Part2'. "Take a rest Ken, and we'll study again tomorrow."

"Right, you can never be too prepared!" Ken laughed. "I just hope we'll have enough time to look over all 10 parts!"

"Oh, a couple of weeks is plenty of time!" Izzy shrugged. "I read them all in three days."

"All right, then I better get over to TK's. He asked me to come over there. See you later Izzy!"

"Bye!"

Ken walked down the street, a couple blocks over and into TK's apartment. He walked up the stairs and knocked on the door.

"Hey Ken!" TK greeted as Ken walked into the room. "We were just playing 'Cheat', a new game that Kari taught us. She said some Canadian friend taught her how to play. It's really fun. Davis, deal Ken in this round."

"Ahh 'Cheat' I'm familiar with the game." Ken answered sitting down. "It's where you dispense out all the cards and classify them in order, then you each take turns placing down the cards, face down, in order…least to greatest and over again. If you don't have a card that you are putative to play down, you 'prevaricate' and put any other one down. If the other people think you're prevaricating, they say 'cheat'. If you were, you pick up the pile, if you weren't they pick up the pile. Great fun."

By this time, all of the others had sweatdropped. "Uhhh…right…" TK said looking at Ken strangely. "What you said."

"Sorry guys, Izzy and I spent three hours studying 'It's Not Easy Being A Genius Part1' …the language kinda sticks."

"There's more then one?!" Davis exclaimed.

"There's even a book called that?!" Tai cried, his mouth (and plate) full of food.

"Yes. There's 10." Ken answered.

"Wha?!" Davis cried. "That's crazy!"

"Not as crazy as you are Davis," Tai replied, "No sit down so we can finish the game."

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

"Eriol don't you think we've studied enough for today?" Li asked as he slumped in his chair.

"Oh alright. I'm just trying to get us prepared," Eriol sighed.

"Hey like I always say, you either know it, or you don't," Li told him leaning back in his chair.

"That may work for regular test Li, but not for this! I heard that the other team from Japan is formed of two geniuses!" Eriol exclaimed.

"Wait, wait, wait! You mean we're going up against the other Japanese team?! I thought we were one big group!" Li yelled.

"No, it's only teams of two. And you can have up to four people from a country. So now do you see my point? We need to study if we are to win!"

"Alright, alright, do have a heart attack," Li said as he opened another book. Eriol smiled in satisfaction.

"That's better now what's-" Eriol was cut off by the doorbell. "Oh for Pete sake!" He cried as he walked over to the door. "Hello?" He asked as he opened the door.

"Hi Eriol!" Zachary exclaimed.

"Zachary! What brings you by?" Eriol asked as he let his friend in.

"Oh not much, I was just in the area… oh hi Li!" Zachary greeted with a smile as he made his way to the dinning room table where Li and Eriol were studying.

"Hey Zachary," Li said as he looked up from the book. "What are you doing here?" Li asked as Zachary took a seat.

"Oh not much. Just thought I would pay my old friend Eriol here a visit. So what are you doing here Li?" Zachary asked.

"Eriol and I are studying for the IQ contest in Canada," Li told him.

"Oh?" Zachary's ears perked up.

"Yeah, did you not know what we won?" Li asked.

"Oh yea I knew. I just didn't know it was in Canada. Did you know that Canada used to be under water?" Zachary asked waving his trusty pointing finger.

"Yea, most of the world was under water," Li answered.

"True, but did you know that they have underwater cities?" Li looked at him and shook his head no. "Well in Canada they have very high tech water gear that allows them to live under the water for at least a year at a time. They have many cities that have become tourist attractions. But you see it's very hard to live under the water, since you can't eat much with all the gear on. So that's why people started to make these really interesting plastic bubble homes." Li just nodded his head. "In them you don't need to wear all the equipment so you can do everything normally. But still after about a year you have to come up to the surface because they need to re-oxyenagise your home," Zachary finished.

"Yes but that's not as interesting as their homes on the surface," Eriol butted in.

"Oh yes, the igloos. Canada is very interesting place to Live Li. Parliament Hill is a giant Igloo. So they have to be careful about summer and the ozone layer thinning out. But luckily it doesn't get that hot in Canada any ways. So make sure you pack warm Li!" Zachary told him smiling. Eyes still closed.

"Yeah, I'll do that," Li said looking away from Zachary and back to his book.

"Great!" Zachary told him. "Actually I should be going. Chelsea's waiting for me. And you know how temperamental she can be," Zachary winked. (He opened an eye?! OMG!!)

"Bye Zachary! We'll see you in school," Eriol waved his friend off.

"Bye!" Zachary yelled back as he turned the corner.

"So Li, I think we're done for today," Eriol told him.

"Great! See ya!" Li said as he ran out of the house. "I'm so glad to be out of there!" Li told himself as he walked home.

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

"Stupid loser…Great I'll go with you….what a joke…" Jen mumbled walking through the hall of her school. "I'll sign up for that stupid contest myself…" She walked into the office and bumped into a red haired girl. "Oops, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there." Jen apologized.

"That's all right, I was just looking at this sign up sheet. For this IQ contest. It sounds interesting." The red head stated.

"Yeah, I was going to sign up for it myself. I haven't seen you around, are you new here?" Jen asked.

"Yes, I just moved here. I'm Karen."

"I'm Jen. Nice to meet you."

"I don't have anyone to sign up with, since I am new here, do you have a partner?"

"No, My friend ditched me for some guy. I was thinking I should sign up because I'm fairly smart, and I heard that these genius guys who sign up for this are really hot." Jen smiled. "So I thought, hey might as well, even if I don't win I might come out of it with a boyfriend or two."

"Well it sounds good to me!" Karen laughed. "So I'll sign us up then?"

"Yeah, I've got Geo next, what do you have?"

"I've got Geo too, looks like we're in the same class." Karen said. "I hope I make some more new friends, I left all mine in Japan."

"Wow! You lived in Japan?!" Jen cried.

"Yeah, I did. My Dad got transferred with his company. It was hard on all of us, but he's making more money here then he did in Japan."

"That's always good." Jen stated. "I think you'll like Canada. Even though it gets REALLY cold, it's a good place to live."

"Well I'm just glad you don't live in igloos. Someone told me that once." Karen laughed. "I believed it, but now I see how stupid that really was!"

"Igloos? Well I guess we haven't moved up much in the world." Jen shrugged. "Well maybe it'll keep all the power hungry people away, the thought of living in igloo's! Crazy!"

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

"James! Wait for me!" Traci cried as she ran towards her friend.

"Traci just leave me alone!" James yelled back.

"But you just can't skip the rest of the school day! It's only lunch! We still have two more classes! Come on James!" Traci said as she finally caught up to him.

"I'm not staying in a school with that bit-"

"James! Will you stop calling her that! She's not a bitch! And your not skipping school!" She said as she grabbed onto his arm.

"Traci! Let me go!" James cried. The lockers around them started to shake.

"James! What's going on?!" Traci cried.

"No, not here!" James mumbled to himself.

"What do you mean not here?" Traci asked as the shaking slowly stopped.

"Nothing, now let go of me! I'm leaving!" James said as he ripped his arm away from his best friend.

"Fine! If you don't want my help then just leave! I don't care anymore!" Traci cried as James walked out of the front doors of the school.

James ran out of the school at record speed.

"Why is this happening now?! Why in front of Traci?!" James asked him self as he ran into his house. He looked around to find every one was out. "Good. I don't want to deal with them questioning me," James mumbled as he walked over to his room. After the incident with his father James was soon adopted by a loving family that has taken care of him since he was five. Since there was no reason for his 'power' to flare up his adoptive parents know nothing of it. He sat in his room and just thought until his parents came home.
