Speaking of, feel free to leave me LOTS of reviews. And I'd like to take this moment to thank those who have done so up to this point. Yes, all FOUR of you. Thanks a million. (:

It felt a little weird to Sora - staying in a hotel in her own hometown. Staying with her mother? That was completely out of the question. She had thought about staying with Tai's family along with him, but she wasn't sure if he had even told them about her; not that they would mind or anything.
Growing up, she had always harbored a small crush on Tai, even when they moved away to college, it still made her heart flutter to think about him. But something in the recent years called to her that he needed to be loved, so she had finally built up the courage to kiss him one night. At the library of all places...
Sora volunteered there in her spare time, it was a healthy alternative to the partying that most of her classmates did. He had come around 11 PM to beg her for help studying for his government midterm. Eventually, she complied - even without the mass of familiar auburn hair to help persuade her, Tai still held a dear place in her heart. They had poured over his textbooks, alternately scribbling notes on foreign policies and reminiscing about old times into the wee hours of the morning. Sometime around 3 AM, when they were both relying solely on caffeine to keep them awake, she had leaned over and kissed him. For whatever reason, she had been surprised when he had kissed her back and even more surprised when he had called the next day and asked her to be his girlfriend. Old-fashioned-like. And of course she had said yes.
She threw on some clothes and did her hair; they were going out with all the old gang that night. Matt's band was playing at that exclusive place downtown, Club #4. Because of Matt's stats, they could easily get the underage Kari, TK, and Davis in... Yolei had been throwing up for hours on end and complaining of back pains, so she was out. And Cody was only 15 and looked 12, they couldn't even consider getting him in.
A shrill ringing broke the silence, Tai had phoned to remind her to pick up Davis on the way to the club. She sighed and sank onto the bed, amazed that she wasn't looking forward to this more. Normally it would be awesome to get together with all her old friends and see how much everyone had changed, but Tai... Tai had been acting so different lately. They fought constantly, him always accusing her of cheating on him, which she would never do, and her always feeling trapped, restless because he simply wasn't any fun anymore. Crossing the tiny room to the mirror, she looked at her reflection and forced a small smile, this would be different. She would have fun tonight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The lights flashed, the music pumped, a sweaty throng of people gyrated on the dance floor. Kari was on sensory overload. Looking over at TK, she could see he was too. The group was crowded into a reserved booth, treated as special guests of the lead singer/guitarist of the club's main act. They all chattered amongst themselves, talking of their oh-so-interesting college hijinks. Tonight would be the night, she decided. Gathering her courage, she leaned over to TK, "Why don't we dance?"
TK stared straight ahead, blatantly ignoring her. Startled, she waved her arm in front of his face, "TK?" He looked over at her, saying something she couldn't hear over the throbbing bass. Of course! The music was far too loud for her to be heard. Grinning, she yelled to him, "HOW ABOUT WE GO…" the music stopped abruptly, "DANCE?"
Immediately, five pairs of eyes flicked interestedly to them. Turning beet red, Kari grabbed TK's hand and led him out to the dance floor. Almost immediately, Matt's raspy voice came over the sound system as the band started their first set of the night, an upbeat song that had gotten quite a lot of radio play a couple months ago. They began to dance - innocently at first, their eyes constantly on the group at the table. As soon as she could make it look natural, Kari pulled him deeper into the mass of people, dancing closer and closer…
At first, TK had been quite shocked and began an immediate mental recollection of what Kari had had to drink that night. But he couldn't keep his mind on whether Davis had slipped anything into her drink or not for too long - Kari was not an easy dancer to keep up with. Just as he was about to drop to the ground from exhaustion, the band ended the song. He breathed a sigh of relief, after having been to so many of their shows over the years, he knew the next song in their set order would be a slow one. Had he not been drop-dead tired, he would have jumped for joy hearing the opening chords of his brother's acoustic guitar. Knowing Kari would not want to slow dance, he turned back towards the table, but before he could get very far, Kari grabbed his wrist, "I'm not done with you yet…"
'Huh?' he thought to himself, putting his arms around her waist as the band began one of the pathetic songs Matt had written in a post-breakup heroin stupor. Kari pulled herself close to him, resting her head on his shoulder. He looked down at her, totally confused, "What is wrong with you tonight?"
She cast a glance over to the table, Tai and Sora were sitting there alone, not talking; Sora looked worried, her brother looked angry… Mimi and Izzy were talking to a group of guys at the bar, Davis was near them, eyeing a blonde leaning against the wall. "I… I don't know," she started, preparing to vent all her concerns about growing up and changing and everyone else changing too, and how she felt she was drifting apart with the world, when something else overtook her and she tilted her head up and kissed him, looking straight into his blue eyes.
It lasted only a second and probably wasn't so great as far as kisses go, but TK, who had been kissed many times before, had actually felt something. This, actually, did not happen often. Kari rocked back onto her heels, hands still laced around his neck, looking slightly embarrassed. Figuring it was his turn, he leaned down and kissed her, this time deeply and for a considerably longer amount of time. The music stopped and other couples broke apart, but the two stayed entwined in their embrace for several moments longer.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Davis could not believe what he was seeing. Those legs. And those eyes. And that… wait a second. Was that Kari? And… TK?!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps heading up towards the front and mingling into the crowd was a good way to escape the watchful eyes of Kari's brother, but neither of them had given a single thought to the perfect view TK's own brother would have. And of course, the singer/guitarist confronted his brother ever so subtly while he paid the usual visit on their break.
"So, you got yourself a girlfriend?" Matt asked, messing vainly with his blonde hair in front of a mirror.
TK shrugged, "Nah."
Matt looked at him in the superior way he'd used since they were children; neither spoke. Faintly, the music from the club could be heard warbling in. "TK," he said softly, "I saw you."
Immediately realizing what Matt meant, but hoping it wasn't true, he went red, "What? You mean… Kari? We're not exactly 'going out' or anything."
"So you just stick your tongue down her throat every once in a while and call it good?" Anger shadowed Matt's face; he always had a quick temper.
"Whoa!" TK exclaimed, trying not to get his brother angry, "What you saw, man… that was a one-time deal…"
Matt's stormy blue eyes narrowed, "You're just going to treat a girl you've known for 10 years like just another hookup?"
At this, TK had to hold back a chuckle. Getting a sermon from a drug dealer? Hah. "Well, I Haven't really had the time to think about it, Matt, it happened like, two seconds ago."
The door swung open and the stage manager, a portly little man with a bushy black mustache walked in, tapping his watch, "About one minute, Matt," he said nasally before quickly stepping back out.
"Okay!" Matt called in his normal, half-cheerful voice, abruptly shifting back to an angry one, "I'm just warning you, if you don't want a relationship, be careful what you do with your mouth."
He lingered a few moments after Matt left, silently pondered the heartfelt gem of brotherly advice.

TK and Kari... What a surprise.
I've got a LOT of this written, I'm probably up to like, at least chapter 5 or 6, but of course, this is all scrawled into my notebook. I only just finished typing this all in today. @_@ More soon. Coming Soon: Someone cheats on someone else and yet another two someones have a big date! I'm so excited.
Update: I still do not own Digimon.
