ST: And here it is! The next installment of BOS! I'm so happy that I got this all typed up!
TK: Took you long enough.
ST: Shut up. Well, on with the story!
TK: Hey! I wanted to say it.
ST: Awww, cry me a river, build me a bride, and jump off.
TK: *grumble grumble*

***-Chapter 3-***
Okay, maybe I was being a prick. But I had every right to be one, right? Not that it really mattered. It seemed that my new roommates had their own ways to get you to do what they wanted.
I slipped out of my boxers and into my trunks. Throwing on a tee shirt and walked out of the room. Davis was waiting for me.
He was sporting the "summer tan even though summer hasn't really started yet" look. No shirt, all shorts and skin. And he didn't look all that bad.
We headed towards the front door. Before we left, Dai waved at Matt and Tai who were watching Friends, and called out, "Keru and me are goin' to the beach. Be back round 3. Bye."
All I saw was a nod from Tai and a wave of the hand from Matt before Dai dragged me out the door. As we walked out into the sunshine I glanced at my watch.
12:05. 4 hours, ouch.
*`*
Matt and Tai quickly turned to each other when they heard the door slam shut.
"20 says he comes back corrupted."
"40 if her comes back insane."
*`*!*`*
We walked for what seemed seconds. Davis wasn't lying when he said that we lived real close to the beach. All we really did was cross the street, walk down this little hill and BAM! The sand, the water, the babes.
Davis seemed like the beach type, and was. He maneuvered around the beachies like a king; King of the people. Within not even two minutes, I heard people call out.
"Hey Davis!"
"Daisuke, over here!"
"Hi Dai." Oh, he sure did respond to that one. We suddenly made a U-turn towards a brunette babe in a red bikini that stood waving in our direction.
"Ahhh, so you can hear. I was beginning to think that all that crap went to your head and you decided to ignore us "little people"."
Dai tasseled her shoulder length hair and grinned playfully. "Very funny Kari."
I walked up to the two slowly, not wanting to know anybody more than I had to. Unfortunately, Davis had thought differently. He grabbed me and thrust me beside him.
"Kari, this is Matt's brother, Takeru. He's spending the summer with us."
The pretty girl (very very pretty) smiled sweetly at me. "Welcome to Odiaba! When did you get in?"
"Yesterday."
"Awsome! And Dai's already pullin you to the beach, huh? Tsk, I'm so not surprised Davis."
I turned to him and saw him quickly pull an innocent act. "What? I have no idea what you're talkin about!"
Kari laughed and continued, "And are you and Tai still at poor Matt's place?"
"What do you mean, 'still'?"
"Well, you've been there for weeks."
"Well, dude, for your information, not that it's any of your information, we're keeping 'poor Matt' company while his neglectful dad's out on business. Kay?"
"Kay dude, whatever you say."
"Hey there Hikari, don't be stealing my words, kay?"
"Kay dude."
"Grr! Stop it!"
I watched as their pecking fight went on. What did I do to deserve this?
*`*
"Well, no matter what you say, I'll believe your pathetic story on 'poor Matt' when the sun doesn't rise.'
"So, Kari, if the sun doesn't come up to tomorrow, you'll know who's at fault, right?"
"Ha ha. Stick it."
"Only if you do it for me."
"Bye Dai."
"Buh bye Kari!"
The pretty girl left the two boys. Davis turned to TK, who was almost asleep even though he was standing. The spiky haired one shook his companion's shoulder, shaking any sleepiness off.
"Sorry man. The only girl I couldn't lay that somehow became a really good chick friend instead of another notch on my bad post, you know? We go back."
TK shook his tingling leg and trailed behind as Dai began to walk towards a group of food stands. "Hungry? Good, me too.
TK watched as Dais ordered, paid, waited and received two ice cream cones. "Here you go, dude. Enjoy."
TK was handed the almost melting ice cream and followed Dai to a small table that lied oh-so conveniently beside the sidewalk.
They sat in silence for a while, slowly licking and slurping the vanilla heaven while the hot sun blared down on them.
"So," Davis began while nibbling on the cookie cone. "How old are you?"
"15."
Davis' face beamed. "Really? And I thought you were younger. I'm 14. But I'll be 15 in August."
TK merely grunted. Davis crammed the rest of the cone down his throat and stared hungrily at TK's dissolving cone. "You want that?" TK thrust it to Davis.
"So, what month?" Davis waited patiently for TK's answer while gobbling TK's once unfinished cone.
"October." Davis began to choke on the ice cream and spluttered. "Really? Tai's October, too. What day?"
"17."
Davis started laughing. "Tai's 21. But he'll be 17. And Matt's birthday is February. 18. He turned 16. And I'll be 15 soon. Oh yea. Way cool..."
Davis shook himself from his giddiness and noticed that TK wasn't even really paying attention. Sighing, the burgundy stood up and began to walk a bit aimlessly around, TK following slowly behind him. An uncomfortable silence settled between the two as they toured the streets.
"Hey," Dai began. "Let's go over here." TK dragged behind him as Davis led them towards a street shop. "This is the most awesomely awesome store ever, dude!"
Davis opened the door to the shop and walked in ever so casually. TK hesitated, deafened by the blaring music that was being played in it. "Davis!"
Davis walked up to the front counter and greeted the cashier with much enthusiasm. "Hey Ken! What the hell are you doing here on a Saturday? You losar!"
The blue haired friend of Davis' only smiled, chuckling lightly. He turned to TK and asked, "How may I help you?"
Before TK could even speak, Dai stepped up. "Dude, he's with me. Ken, this is TK. TK, Ken. He's Matt's lil' bro."
Ken smiled kindly at the blonde. "Matt's brother, huh?" He turned to Dai and gave him a look of suspicion.
"What?! Why does everybody think that I've done something?"
"Oh, we have our reasons. TK, feel free to look around. A friend of Davis is a friend of mine."
TK walked away, stumbling down racks of shirts and pants, eyeing a few of them with interest. Davis and Ken stood, muttering lowly.
As he walked further into the store, TK picked up something that caught his eye. When he walked back into Dai and Ken's presence, they watched as TK placed the green hat onto the counter.
"How much?"
Ken looked it over before saying, "3.50."
TK pulled the money out of his swimming trunk's pocket and paid his new acquaintance.
"Cool man. What time does your watch say?" Davis began to poke at TK's wrist.
T glance at his watch and answered, "1:27."
"Awww man! Perfect! See ya Ken. Keru and me gotsta go! Skatin' time." Davis grabbed TK's arm and sprinted towards the door. TK braced himself as he tried to keep up with his energetic friend, almost not seeing Ken wave them out.
When they were outside, Davis began to jog down the street. TK sighed and placed his new hat onto his head, backwards, before running after him.

ST: Okays, that was better. Longer and, yeas.
