Part Two: A Shocking Performance.

Matt stared forward at the empty stadium, knowing quit well that TK's concerned blue eyes were carefully watching him. Matt smiled in spite of his tiredness, as his brother began to sing the chorus. Things had really changed since the younger kids had defeated MaloMyotismon, and one of the biggest changes was how much everyone had grown up. Over the past three years, TK had grown up to be almost like his rock star brother. TK had changed his wardrobe from his shorts and long sleeved t-shirt, into baggy black jeans, a sleeveless black top, and a leather jacket; TK even traded in his white hat for a new stylish hair style. To make the change complete, TK had begun weight training, and now had nicely defined muscles that made the girls crazy. Matt held back a laugh as he remembered the response his fans had when he introduced his kid brother into his band. Now they were the two must famous brothers in Japan, and they were constantly performing and going to interviews.

As for the other members of the digidestineds, Kari had the second biggest change. Kari had a huge growing spurt, and now stood a little taller then her brother, but besides her height, Kari had really developed into a supermodel. She now wore her hair long and slightly curled. To define her body, she wore tight blue jeans, and a low cut, long sleeved pink shirt. On her face, she wore light blue eye shadow, and pink lip gloss.

Tai and Sora had finally gotten together after Matt gave up, and broke up with her. Now the two sport lovers where always in some sort of competitive activity, whether it be soccer, or tennis. But whenever they weren't competing, the two of them could be seen hanging out with Matt, and the three friends would spend hours just talking or starring at the television.

Everybody else where relatively the same, just a little taller, and a little bit more mature. The only difference between the friendship of the group, was Davis, Kari, and TK. Two years ago, Davis had gone to Yolie, Cody, and Ken, asking them to help him get Kari. Agreeing with their leader, the younger digidestineds began working on setting the two up. After TK saw what was going on, he hide his true feelings for Kari, and allowed Davis to start dating her. The only problem was TK became distant from the younger kids, and soon changed his whole outlook on life. It was around that time that TK joined his brother's band, and rouse to the most popular boy in his class. But while TK was changing, so was Kari's feelings, and she began to regret saying yes to Davis. The problem was, TK seemed to have moved on, and she wasn't about to break Davis's heart over a slight chance that TK still had strong feelings for her. So a tension began to form between the three friends, until TK had completely left the group of younger kids, only joining them to the Digital World when the older kids needed to go. (I'm thinking about writing a sub fic, explaining the whole situation. Tell me if you like the idea in a review).

Life in the Digital World remained peaceful, and had been completely restored from the battles that had occurred there. Only recently, there had been rumors that Spiral mountain was beginning to reform. Because of this rumor, the younger kids went to the digital world every weekend, and tried to clarify if the rumor was true. But besides the weekly checkup, the digidestineds hardly ever went over there, and their lives began to evolve away from the life of their Digimon friends. It was because of the continuous peace, that Matt and TK were able to go on tour with the band. The band's agent felt that it was about time that the band became a big hit in other countries besides Japan, so over the summer holidays, the band packed their things, and traveled from one country to another. They would perform a couple of nights in one city, and then move on. But as much fun as the experience was, TK and Matt were looking forward to their last performance in New York. "Mimi will be there, she promised," TK had said when the plane had landed in the big city. Matt had looked at the ambition in his brother's eyes, and smiled proudly. But as the practice went on, Matt could feel the lack of sleep catching up with him, and catching the worried glances his brother was throwing at his way, he could tell that TK could also see the extent of his weariness.

Taking in a deep breath, Matt moved toward his microphone. It was almost time for him to begin singing again, and even though it was just practice, Matt always made sure that he did his best. Pushing away a yawn, the teen took a step forward, and felt his knees collapse from underneath him.

"Matt!" TK yelled catching his brother before he could hit the ground.

"Is he alright?" the drummer asked concerned as the other band members gathered around their fallen leader with equally worried expressions on their faces.

"I think so," TK mumbled as he slowly and carefully lowered his brother to the ground.

"Well, I think we should end practice early. There is nothing more we can do anyways," the lead guitarist pointed out as the others nodded in agreement.

"Fine, but that doesn't mean you can fool around. We should probably all head to our hotel rooms, and get a good rest before the performance tonight," the keyboarder said receiving a cold glare from the guitarist.

"All right, but you have to call the big guy, and tell him what is going on," the guitarist said as the keyboarder nodded his head in agreement.

"Common, lets get him to his room," the drummer said as he helped TK carry his brother to the rental car.

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

"So what exactly happened?" Mimi asked as she sat next to TK on hotel bed that the brothers were sharing for the next two nights. Mimi had arrived shortly after TK had gotten Matt into bed, and had immediately demanded answers. She had seemed more irritated then normal, and TK guessed it was because of all the security measures that she had to get through to see the two brothers.

"He had another fainting spell," TK said shifting a little as Mimi studied him.

"Another?" Mimi asked making the younger boy turn away.

"Yes, he has fainted a couple of other times, but they never happen during a performance, so the manager isn't too worried about them," TK said looking down at his socks.

"Do you know what causes them?" Mimi asked concerned as her soft brown eyes traveled to the resting blonde lying down on the bed beside her.

"Yeah, he hasn't been sleeping very much," TK said looking up, and following Mimi's gaze.

"Is it stress?" Mimi asked scooting closer to the boy, till Matt's sleeping head was within inches of Mimi's thigh.

"At first, he just wasn't sleeping. I thought it was because he was excited about the tour, but after a week, he continued to stay up at night. He almost seemed afraid to go to sleep, and whenever he does fall asleep, he wakes up a couple of hours later, screaming and gasping for breath. I find the only way to keep him comforted during his nightmares, is to rest his head in my lap, and softly sing to him," TK said as Mimi turned to him and smiled teasingly. "Hey, he used to do it for me," TK pointed out defensively.

"That is just so precious," Mimi mumbled as TK gave her a friendly shove. "So what's up with all the heavy duty body guards?" Mimi asked as her tone hardened.

"They are here because there have been a few attempts to kidnap or kill Matt," TK said lowering his voice to a whisper.

"What do you mean?" Mimi asked as the color drained from her face.

"Don't worry, this sort of stuff happens all the time when someone becomes famous. Security is just a little tighter here because it is the last show, and if someone wants to make a name for himself, tonight would be the time to strike," TK said trying to hide his own worry, since Mimi looked like she was on the verge of bursting into tears.

"What sort of attempts have been made?" Mimi asked looking at TK closely with an "I need to know" look.

"While we have been on tour, there have just been the normal stalkers, and occasionally the crazy jealous people who have raced toward the band with some sort of weapon. But like I said, this stuff happens when someone becomes famous, and it is just the more negative part of the deal," TK said knowing that Mimi was not satisfied.

"What about the kidnapping attempts?" Mimi demanded as TK looked around the room nervously.

"Well, the kidnapping attempt might not have anything to do with Matt being a rock star, so I haven't told the manager about it…" TK mumbled as Mimi rolled her eyes.

"Just tell me already," Mimi demanded as TK took in a deep breath.

"It happened two days before the tour. I was going to Matt's apartment because my mom had to work late that night, and she hates to leave me home alone. When I got to the apartment, I immediately knew something was wrong. The apartment door was wide open, and all the lights were off. I entered, and flicked the light switch, and then I saw him. Matt was laying on the ground, and a man was standing over him. I sort of lost control, and I attacked the man. I had the man pinned to the ground when Matt woke, and called my name. I lost my concentration for a second, and the person was able to throw me off of him. But the strange thing was, as the man was leaving, he turned around and told me 'we will have the child of friendship, and you can't stop us, child of hope'," TK said as Mimi held her hand to her mouth horrified.

"He knew about your crest," Mimi said as TK nodded.

"Yes," TK clarified as silence filled the room.

"Was Matt hurt?" Mimi finally asked, breaking the silence.

"No, the man used a very mild knock out drug in the take out Chinese food Matt had delivered to his house," TK said as Mimi allowed a small sigh of relief.

"Well at least he wasn't hurt," Mimi said as TK nodded his agreement. "So why haven't you told the agent, it couldn't do any harm," Mimi pointed out, as TK shook his head.

"Matt hates showing any sort of weakness. In fact, if Matt knew I was telling you all of this, he would get really mad, but after he faints like this, normally he sleeps for a few hours before he begins to stir," TK said yawning a little as he successfully managed to change the subject. For the next few hours, TK and Mimi spent time talking about the other digidestineds, sports, and even the newest fashions. Finally the time for the concert arrived, and Mimi left while TK began to wake his brother.

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

TK stared out nervously at the crowd that was gathering inside of the concert hall. "There sure are a lot of people out there," TK mumbled as the drummer put a comforting hand on the younger boy's shoulder.

"Don't worry, at least you and Matt know how to speak English, it will go by more smoothly. Remember how you two had to spend weeks learning how to do all of the songs in Chinese, French, German, Spanish…" the drummer said as TK rolled his eyes. It was a long list, and TK really didn't want to be reminded of all the extra work he had to do so that the band's fans could understand what they were singing.

"I get the picture," TK grumbled turning away from the stage, and watching as the rest of the band were worked on a few last minute preparations.

"I can't believe that Mimi was over, and you didn't wake me," Matt's soft voice said as TK turned to face his brother apologetically.

"I would have, but you needed to your rest," TK pointed out defensively as TK put a hand on TK's shoulder.

"I know, I was just giving you a hard time. You're just too tense, loosen up, nothing will go wrong," Matt said as TK nodded. As much as TK wanted to believe his brother, he just couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen, and it probably wasn't going to be nice. "Common, it's time," Matt yelled as the band made their entrance.

TK swallowed nervously as he searched the crowd for Mimi's friendly face. It had become a tradition that whenever he performed, he would search for the friendly face of one of the digidestineds in that country. For some reason he found that he wasn't as nervous when he was able to concentrate on someone that he was somewhat friendly with. But Matt was different when he performed. Matt enjoyed being the center of attention, and he was much more at ease among strangers, but just like TK, Matt was carefully searching the crowd for Mimi's face. A task that was relatively easy since Mimi's hot pink dress stood out in the mass of dark clothing. The brothers smiled as Matt turned to the band, and waited for the signal. Nodding energetically Matt turned back to the crowd, and started counting out the beat. A wave of cheering washed across the room as the music started, and Matt started sing. TK felt a rush of excitement as he started the second verse, and soon the brothers where lost in the song.

Mimi watched the band proudly, as she screamed at the top of her lungs. The band had gotten so much better since the last time she heard them perform, and she just couldn't help but feel lucky that she knew the two singers personally. They were her best friends, and she took immense pride in their accomplishments, even though she was just a little jealous that the two brother's had managed to accomplish a successful occupation in singing. Ever since she was young, she had wanted to be a singer, but the closest she had ever gotten was in the digital world, when she had performed for the Gekomon. But as she watched the way Matt performed, she knew that she wasn't as talented, and couldn't possibly take on the responsibilities that Matt had when he had created the band. Matt had always had a gift for music, and Mimi couldn't help but be drawn to him as Matt reached for the microphone, preparing for the climax of the song. Time seemed to slow to a stop as Matt's fingers touched the metal of the microphone, and before Mimi knew what happened a blinding flash filled the concert hall. Mimi screamed in horror as Matt slumped to the ground unconscious.

TBC.
