Zero 2
ST: Whooo... This chapter was put up really quick! Only prob is that it's short. Well, shortER. Sorry. I feel as if I've let you down.
TK: You always let them down.
ST: See that!? He's verbally abusing me! AND he's my imagination. My muse, my mind. How sad is that? The fact that my own head is against me... Weird. Very.
TK: Yes, aren't we all very very intrigued.
ST: Well, Anywho, I hope you all enjoy this chapter. There's a vwery funny song (that was written by mua) about the digidestined and, well, read on and you'll see.
TK: Tell us, o great authoress; is it true that you favor this story?
ST: Why yes I do. You see, I write my stories out on paper before I type them up. BOS is already finished, and 02 is up to chapter 10. I'm so proud. Proudest of all on my accomplishments on 02, cause in awalk, 18 chapters took up about 167 pages in notebook, BOS took up about 127 (in 15 chapters, that's right only 8 more left to type) and so far in 02, 10 chapters have taken up 108 pages. Not counting all the editing I do when I type them up. And the fact that I haven't actually finished writing it and don't know how long it will be. Maybe it'll make it to 17. Hmn. Yes, well, anyways, that's my dirty secret. Not so dirty, huh?
TK: Nope. On with the story:

-chapter two-
"You want to do what?"
Tai sweat dropped as his friend, Sora, didn't even attempt to grasp what he had just explained. "A band! I'm starting a band."
"And you want a job here?"
Tai sweat dropped again. "Yes, a job for TK, Dai and me."
"Oh! Are TK and Dai each starting a band, too?"
Tai nearly fell over. "No, TK and Dai are in MY band."
"Oh. Okay. Hmm, sure! I'll ask Mom and call you about it tomorrow."
"Okay, thanks."
Tai walked out of the flower shop, relieved to leave his ditzy friend behind. It had only been one day since him, TK and Dai had decided to start their quote unquote band.
Tai was 17, so him working full time was a sitch. But since both TK and Davis were still only 14, minority laws state that they could only work 10 hours every two weeks. (a/n: Does Japan have minority laws? If not, they do now.) Maybe he could recruit Kari: she was 15. Or Ken, who was the same age as his sister.
Tai shook his head. Poor Ken, he'd better not. Cody was barely 13, so he was practically useless. Tai didn't know the kid that well anyways. Izzy, who was definitely of age (18), was taking the summer off so he'd have his mind ready for collage. Joe (19) wouldn't have time, due to his internship at the local clinic, so Tai quickly step-stoned over him. Sora and Mimi, both 16, wouldn't want to work double shifts; Meems was visiting Sora and worked with Sora at her mom's shop to pay for her stay.
That only left Matt and Miyako. Matt brought a bitter taste to Tai's mouth and disregarded the potential 17-year-old rapidly. Miya, even though 15 and very able to work, already had a job, so Tai had to forget her. Although not completely.
The extra cash for storage was down, so now he needed 45 dollars for TK's bass. He knew exactly where to go.
Tai walked into a well-known convenience store and strode right up to the front counter. "Hey Yolei."
"Oh, hi Tai. What's up?"
Tai shrugged his shoulders. "Not much."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Hmmmm."
"Hmnn."
Yolei sighed. "Alright, what do you want?"
Tai gave her a cheesy tooth grin. "Member last summer, when you told me how to make 70 bucks real easy?"
Yolei groaned. "No?"
"Oh yes."
"Oh, that's not fair!"
"No no, you promised."
"I'm sorry, I don't remember."
"Yea right."
"No, really! I don't, I swear."
Tai sighed nonchalantly. "Well, then I'm just gonna have to tell Izzy who really crashed his hard drive way back when."
She gasped. "You wouldn't!"
"And that time that you told Kari that Izzy was diagnosed with 'vertical challengedism", whatever that is."
"That's just inhuman."
"70 dollars would prevent anyone form looking inhuman, especially yourself."
Yolei banged her head against the counter. "Fine. But you still have to do the 'thing'. Okay?"
Tai smiled brightly. "Okay."
Yolei raised her eyebrows. "Tonight."
Tai pretended to be upset. "Oh, fine. Tonight. But you have to invite everyone to Sight. Kay?"
She nodded. "You know Yagami, you'd make one hell of an enemy."
"I know."

[Later that night at the local teen club, Sight]
"Dudes and dudettes, we have an amateur performer who's gonna play us all a song. Here he is, Yagami Tai!"
Clapping echoed throughout the lowly lit club as a bushy haired boy and his red guitar stepped onto the stage. He plugged his guitar into the amp that sat next to the microphone stand and looked out into the crowd.
Dai, TK, Cody and Kari were at one table; Mimi, Sora and Yolei at another; Joe and Izzy next to them; then Matt, all by himself. Not that Tai could blame his friends. Half of them were his exes.
Only one who was missing was Ken. Perfect. He had everything planned out.
Tai leaned into the microphone and cleared his throat. "Hi, ummm, I was dared to do this by one who will not be named, yet. But anyways, I'm going to sing a song I wrote about my friends. And their faults."
A hushed murmur spread throughout the crowd as Tai prepared himself. Suddenly, chords blasted and Tai began to sing.
(a/n: I wrote this song, too! Go me.)

/Friends friends friends/
/For them I'm glad/
/But none I'm sure to be left with/
/Cause they're now all likely to be mad/
The crowd erupted with cheers, whistles and clapping when Tai finished. Even his 'friends' were giving him a standing ovation, screaming loudly.
Tai smiled out into the crowd. He quickly played a small riff before bowing and unplugging his guitar. The manager of the club met up with him as he walked off stage. Tai almost didn't catch the congratulations of the enthusiastic man as he grabbed the boy's hand and shook it. When he walked among the crowd, a flock of girls and boys surrounded him, all complimenting him.
As Tai joined his fellow buds, Yolei quickly offered him a high five, slapping a fifty and a twenty into his hand. Tai quickly pocketed the cash and as everyone was mobbing him, he stepped up onto a chair.
"Hey! Hey! Okay everyone, quiet!"
A loud chatter could still most certainly be heard. Tai, clenching his teeth, looked towards his sister for help. Kari smiled cutely before bellowing, "ALRIGHT! SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Everyone in the club turned to look at Tai on his chair. A few murmurs could still be heard, something like, 'man, her "rawr" IS bad'.
Tai waved cheerily before he began what he was going to say. "Hey! Thanks for enjoying my song. But there's more than that coming up! TK, Dai, get up here."
The two boys eagerly joined Tai, both on a chair of their own. "These are my band mates."
An eruption of clapping and 'yea's interrupted Tai. When they quieted back down, Tai smiled and continued. "Our band name is Zero 2, so, listen for us!"
Wit that said, he jumped off his chair. The crowd dispersed back to their original seats. TK and Dai remained on their chairs, waving at everyone and thanking for their support. Kari glared motherly at them, causing the boys to hunch over and join the others on the floor. As they stood next to Kari, Dai muttered, "Wendy."
Tai rolled his eyes and smiled at his friends. All of them were still there, well, except for one. "Hey, did Matt split?"
The 8 others nodded. Then, a voice from behind Tai said, "He did when I showed up. Right about when you started singing about Sora. He didn't look to happy."
When Tai turned around, he nearly dropped over. "Thought I recognized that voice! Hey Ken, how are ya doing?"

ST: Uh oh! A cliffie. Oh the torture! I am an evil bastard.
TK: But we all already knew that.
ST: Don't you all just love immature Dai and Teeks? I just wanna pinch their widdle cheekies!
TK: Please don't. You'll make me puke.
ST: Shut up!
TK: I don't shut up, I grow up. And when I see you, I throw up.
ST: Well that was mature.
