In Australia, at Takeru's house. 26th September

---------------------------------------------------------------------

A bird fluttered past the Takaishi's window, chirping happily in the mild spring weather, before perching itself onto the branch of a nearby tree and looking into the window amusingly.

Inside was a cute blonde haired boy, and his friends talking happily. It was mid afternoon, and the spring break had just begun. The 4 friends were all talking contentedly of how they were going to spend these holidays, and the upcoming long summer/Christmas break. Little did Takeru know, his summer break plans would soon be changing.

Takeru was kneeling next to the coffee table talking to Koji who was sitting, somewhat squashed on the couch next to a sleeping Zoe, who was lying horizontal on the couch, with her head resting on the shy boys lap. Koji was stroking her hair, gently and cautiously as she slept peacefully. Takuya was in Takeru's room, looking in a big box of c.d's. Almost all of these c.d's were Matts.

Matt's band had become a huge international hit, especially in Australia, and was making heaps of money and fans from all over the world. Takeru had never really liked all the attention and fame that he got in Japan because of being Matt's little brother, so had kept the band status of his brother a total secret in Australia.

All his close friends knew Takeru had a brother, but knew very little about him. Matt always sent T.K previews of his new songs and c.d's before actually recording them, so Takeru had all of Matts songs, before they had been released, so that Takeru could practice them.

Much to Takuya's distress, they were almost all in Japanese.

"So, Koj, what are you planning….-" Takeru started, but was interrupted by a stressed outcry from his other friend…

"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LISTEN TO THESE!!!!!!!….." Takuya cried in dismay…

"Takuya, your not supposed to go through my stuff" Takeru pointed out, but his comment was totally ignored by the anxious Takuya…

"ITS ALL IN JAPANESE!!!!!" he continued to cry

Takeru sighed, as Koji laughed "I thought you were doing Japanese at school…"

"I am, but…. Not singing… and just cause I'm doing it, doesn't mean im actually passing it…"

"do you want something to drink? Eat?" Takeru asked Koji and Takuya.

They nodded, as Takeru got up and took the orders.

"Have you heard the rumours?" Takuya enquired as walked out of Takeru's room and stood next to the couch "People are saying that the Teenage Wolves are coming to Australia on Tour…!" (A/N: I don't know the real name of Matt's band, - I think its like the Teenage Wolves, so I am going to use that.)

"Really?!" Koji sounded excited… "we have to get tickets, so badly.. what do you say Tee?"

"What??!!!? Sure!" Takeru answered from the kitchen, unsure and surprised.. "cool."

' But, how come I haven't been informed of it? I haven't heard anything about a tour' Takeru thought, his ocean-blue eyes dull and confused as he collected the food and drinks.

------- 5 mins later------

-RING-RING-RING-RING-

The phone rang loudly as Takeru brought in the food and drinks… "Mum! Can you get it?" he yelled over his shoulder before placing the food down on the coffee table

The blonde then watched nervously as Takuya brought the huge box filled with c.d's out of his room, positioned it on the floor, and started going through it again.

"Hello?" Takeru heard the rings cease as his mother answered the phone.

"Oh, hi Sweetie, Takeru? Yeh, just a second." She switched languages to Japanese.

"TAKERU, ITS FOR YOU! ITS YOUR BROTHER!" The lady yelled as if her teenage son was miles away, making all his friends stop and stare, although Koji and Takeru were the only ones who understood what she said, and Zoe was still sleeping quietly on Koji's lap, not stirring. Koji looked down at her shocked, as she slept on through the explosion of his friends' mother…

The blondes ocean-blue eyes sparkled with surprise and happiness, it had been a long time since he last spoke to Yamato.

"Matt?! Coming!" Takeru yelled back in Japanese, after regaining his sense of hearing. He jumped magnificently over the box of c.ds and took the phone from his mothers hands.

"Hey Matt!" he spoke rapid Japanese.

"Hey Takeru, how are you?"

"Good, and you?"

"never better… we are all missing you though.."

"I know, I miss everyone too, but you didn't call just to tell me that did you?" Takeru asked, hoping to slide the conversation over to the tour.

"Nope, Don't worry T.K, I do have a point of calling….-" Matt started, but stopped as the phone fuzzed and he heard a background but loud and victorious exclamation.

"I FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!" Takuya held one of Matt's C.D's high into the air, as if holding a precious treasure…

Koji looked at his friend in one of his 'you are really the most idiotic person on earth, do you even have a brain????' looks.

"Its still in Japanese" he pointed out, looking at the cover (which had a super cute picture of Matt on it, and also writing in Japanese)

"I KNOW… I just got really tired of looking for something decent in English" Takuya trembled as he spoke, like even the word, Japanese, made him angry and frustrated, like it was evil.

Takeru sighed as the C.D was put into the stereo and tried to continue his conversation with his brother.

"your point dear brother?" he stated, asking Matt to continue.

"Ah, yes, my point….-" Suddenly, music boomed out of the stereo.

"HOW DO YOU TURN IT UP??????" Takuya's voice was almost impossible to hear over the deafening noise of Matt's voice (Japanese) and guitar.

"WHAT???" Koji yelled, as Zoe sat up straight with her eyes wide open and hands over her ears, trying to block out the tremendous explosion of sound that had caused her to wake up with a start.

"UP, WHERE IS THE VOLUME???" Takuya tried again, screaming at the top of his lungs and pointing upwards towards the sky.

"TAKUYA, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!!" Koji looked angrily across at the goggle-head boy, who simply shrugged and started pressing random buttons.

Takeru put his free hand over his ear as he struggled desperately to hear what Matt was trying to tell him.

"TAKERU!!!" Matt yelled into the phone…

"WHAT??? I CANT HEAR YOU"

"TAKERU, CAN YOU ASK YOUR FRIEND TO TURN ME DOWN????" Matt screamed even louder into the receiver.

T.K turned round to Takuya and spoke in Japanese "TAKUYA, TURN IT DOWN!!!!!!!!"

"I DON'T SPEAK THAT LANGUAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!" the brown haired boy stopped pressing buttons and looked at Takeru, completely confused, disturbed and angry emotions were shown on his face, his head was spinning as he tried to work out what Takeru had just asked him to do.

"HE ASKED you TO TURN IT DOWN!!!!!" A frustrated Koji yelled at Takuya, who amazingly enough, immediately found a round twistable knob and moved it to the left, making the music get softer and they all found their sense of hearing again.

"Finally…" Koji muttered under his breath, as a stunned Zoë lay back down on the couch, eyes still wide open, obviously still in shock after being woken up so abruptly.

"I haven't heard this song before." Takuya commented as he sat on the ground.

Koji gave him another one of his looks. "it's in Japanese, Takuya"

"Oh…. Yeh…. But still, it sounds different."

"its in Japanese" Koji replied simply.

"so…. Have you heard it before???" Takuya asked in a smart-alecky voice.

"er…. No"

Takuya grinned, triumphantly as Takeru went back to his Conversation.

"Don't worry, its all under control…" Takeru told his brother as calmly as possible.

"I can hear… anyways, my point. Well, me and my band have decided to go on a tour of Australia."

"WOW!!! That's so cool Yamato! You'll be a great hit over here, everyone loves you!"

"So I've heard, well anyways, that's not my main point, you see, some of our back singers cant come, so I was wondering if you'd mind if I invited Kari and Tai along too."

"Tai?!" Takeru was surprised at this, he'd heard Tai sing a number of times, and it was not a pretty experience.

"No, I know what your thinking, Tai wouldn't be singing, its just, I doubt the Kamiya's would let Kari come by herself"

"That's a relief" Takeru breathed again and the brothers laughed a bit together.

"So? Are you O.K with that?" Matt continued, waiting for an answer.

"Sure, it would be great to see Kari again" Takeru said happily, his heart fluttering just as he said his princess's name.

"Just forget about me then!" Yamato put on a fake 'why don't you care about me' act.

"Matt, do you know how many times I walk past your poster each day?"

Takeru heard Matt laugh, "Fine, Fine, point taken, but I still think you look cute together." He said, still laughing.

Koji looked up at Takeru after the last part of the conversation he heard… 'Why would Takeru's brother be on a poster??' The dark haired boy scratched his head in confusion before he went back to stroking Zoë's blond hair, she was once again fast asleep after that little incident with the stereo and very loud explosive sounds.

"Mmaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttt" Takeru stretched his name "She's my best friend, and I haven't seen her in yonks!"

"Whatever. Anyways, we'll be coming in the long break, that's about 3 and a half months away."

"O.K"

"And, maybe, you can return to Japan with us?" Matt questioned the possibility

"We'll see, its almost been 2 years, hasn't it?"

"Yeh, almost... Well, I've got to go, ill call you back later regarding plans and stuff."

"Right. Ill look forward to it." Takeru said

"Bye Takeru"

"Bye Yamato, talk to you later"

Takeru placed the phone down on the receiver and slowly walked across the family room to his room (expertly dodging Takuya, who was dancing madly to one of the songs sung by Takeru and Hikari. It was put onto the c.d because of Matt, who had flawlessly blackmailed them into singing the latest song he had written. Matt and Sora now sang that song… Sora was also officially part of the band as well, after beginning to date Matt a few months after Takeru left…)

Takeru lay down on his bed and looked at a picture of him and Kari, it was taken about 1 month before he left for Australia. Takeru was lost in his thoughts, he and Kari contacted each other regularly and wrote every week, but it wasn't the same as actually being in each others company.

'Maybe, just maybe everything can go back to being the same, talking about her makes me realize just how much I miss her-'…..

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

--------------------!!!!!!!CRASH!!!!!!--------------------

"Takuya, you really need dancing lessons" Koji stated as he looked down at the boy who had somehow slipped on the 'carpet' and tripped over the box of c.d's.

"Maybe you're right this time…." Takuya replied rubbing his head before he pulled himself up and started to awkwardly pick up the c.ds that had flown from one side of the room to the other.

Takeru laughed as he went over to help pick the C.D's up, and began to think of what a nice surprise it will be for his friends when he introduces them all to his brother in 3 months time.

In Japan, 27th September

---------------------------------------------------------------------

A pretty teenage brunette was lying down on her pale-pink doona. She had grown a lot in the past year, in personality and on the outside.

She was what the boys had christened her "the hottest girl at school" due to her cute looks, innocent eyes and her simple "NO… GET LOST AND STOP STALKING ME" way of answering ANYONE who asks her out on a date,

Little do they know this is only because her heart is travelling with a cute blonde haired, blue-eyed teen somewhere on the island continent now known as Australia.

'Australia' her heart fluttered as she thought of it, from what Takeru's letters had told her, it sounded beautiful. She couldn't wait to go there and use up all her camera film, but that wasn't the only reason her heart fluttered, it was also because of the boy who lived there, the boy who stole her heart

'But will he give it back? Our friendship means so much to me, I don't want to loose it…' she thought miserably 'Takeru…. I wonder what you are like now, its been so long, too long…' she sighed as she rolled over in her bed.

It had been half an hour already, since Matt walked in through the door and began discussing things with her parents… she had heard parts of the conversation from sitting by the door, but it was almost impossible, the only things she could catch were:

Kari, Tai, Australia, Tour, Sing, and most importantly, Takeru.

' Would my parents let me??… im not so sure… and Tai sing???? Even more not so sure' she sighed, but still she was hopeful, all thanks to her best-friend, who no matter how far away from her he was, always seemed to give her hope.

"Kari, will you come here for a second?" She heard her mother yell from outside her door.

"Yeah, I'm coming…." The pretty girl replied to her mothers call, her heart skipping beats as she rushed to the her door, which still had pics of she and her friends (mostly Takeru) stuck onto it. 'this is it, Kari, the moment of truth….'

Slowly she opened the door. She looked around the room; Matt and Tai were sitting on the couch, her parents pointed to the empty spot next to Tai, indicating her to sit down. She walked over and sat, as her parents started to talk.

They went through the whole story, Matt needing backup singers, calling Takeru in Australia, the tour to Australia, what it meant if she went, the conditions, the amount of money, Tai going with her to keep and eye on her, and meeting up with Takeru and his friends. Kari's hands were shaking, she couldn't believe her luck, it sounded as if they were almost thinking about letting her go…

"So, can I go???" Kari looked anxious, she couldn't hold it in much longer.

"We are going to have to think about it, it's a big journey, and it will cost a lot of money, but there are many positives. At this point in time, yes you can, but it all depends." Her father continued.

Kari's heart was almost quivering with excitement.. 'did I really just hear that?' she thought, doubting the possibility. 'That would mean seeing Takeru…'

"What does it depend on?" she asked slowly, not sure if she wanted to hear the answer.

"On whether or not your English mark improves at school…" Her mother said, pointing a finger at her daughter, who burst into a huge smile.

Kari had taken up English as an elective after Takeru left school so she could speak with his friends if she ever met them. Her mark in English had always been around 95%, but her last mark dropped by 10. Her parents had been disappointed, little did they know, she still topped the class by 20 marks. English was a hard subject, but she had always been good at it, sometimes she would ask Takeru to write to her in English, and she would study the words. The only reason she went down in her last test was because she forgot to study a small but specific area. Her parent's challenge would be an easy, but helpful one.

Kari's smile grew (if possible) and she ran and hugged her parents and Tai, and even Yamato, when he gave her the parts she was going to have to sing.

She sat on her bed listening to the song Matt had given her. But she dreamed of what awaited her, on the island continent, she dreamed of what would happen, and whether now, she would have the courage, to tell him something that had been torturing her heart for what seemed like an eternity.

'I love you, Takeru Takaishi, I always have, and I always will…' she thought 'but did I lose my chance, when you kissed me on my cheek at the airport, or will you return my dream with a better reality?'
