The next day, everyone was getting ready for the prom. Most of the guys were picking out Tuxes, and most of the girls there dress. But Tai already had one. He had more important things to worry about anyway. He was terrified of what would happen that night. The rest of the Digidestend were planning the prom and figuring out the plan. Matt, who had just learned of the plan, Izzy, Joe, TK, Sora, Davis, Ken, Cody and Yolei sat in the Gymnasium discussing their options. After about 2 hours of planning, they knew what they were doing. All they had to do was talk to the DJ about what songs to play.

It was 3 o'clock. Still 5 hours until prom. "A lot could happen in five hours." Tai thought, as he gathered his Tux. Started preparing for the night.

Matt was now in on the plan, but that didn't make him any less nervous. He looked at watch. 5 o'clock. 3 hours left. Time to put the plan in action.

Matt slowly walked toward the phone. He looked at himself in the mirror. "No turning back now." He then picked up the phone and dialed Tai's number.

"Kari!" Tai yelled, "Can you help me with this damn tie?"

Kari giggled.

"Tai can't tie?"

"Shut up… help me would you?"

Kari messed with the tie until it was straight.

"Are you nervous?" Kari asked.

"Extremely… what if somehow Matt finds out?"

Kari looked at her brother.

"Maybe it needs too."

Tai was getting ready to yell at her, but the phone rang.

"Moshi Moshi. Oh hi Matt, what's up?"

"Hi Tai… um… someone told me that there wasn't going to be any real food at the prom… just finger food… so… do you want to go somewhere and eat first?"

Tai smiled.

"Sure, let's do it! Ill meet you at the Chinese food place in 30 mins!"

Tai hung up the phone and got the rest of the stuff ready for the evening and ran out the door.

Matt put the phone down and sighed. Just then TK walked in the room.

"How did it go?"

"Okay I guess. I'm terrified."

"Why? You know he loves you too!"

"Yes but its TAI… I don't know if this will really work!"

"Just go… he's waiting for you!"

xXxXxXxXxXx

Tai sat waiting at the Chinese food place.

"Well.." he said to himself, "This is either going to be the best night of my life, or the worst."

He ordered the food… he knew what Matt wanted, so he told the woman.

"'Bout 5 minate" is what she said.

He sat back down and looked out the window. He saw Matt coming down the street. He smiled. Matt was so beautiful. He had to tell him how he felt. Prom? No.. To many people, if he said no. After dinner. He had to tell him.

Matt walked in the store and sat down with Tai, only smiling.

"This was a good idea Matt. Thank you."

Matt smiled back at him. "Anytime."

The food was brought out to them. Tai ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken for him and Matt. They sat there and ate quietly, both afraid to say anything.

When they finished Matt was the first to talk.

"So… we have 2 hours left. What do you want to do?"

"I think we should go for a walk… and talk about things."

xXxXxXxXx

They walked for a long time, talking about things like the digital world, their partners, and how ironic it is that they used to fight so much and now they're best friends.

After an hour, with an hour left, Tai found a park bench and sat down.

"Matt… there is something serious I need to talk to you about."

Matt had no idea he was talking about THEM and was a little scared.

"What's wrong? Is Kari alright?"

"Oh, yeah, she is fine, that's not it at all… um… Matt… could anything ever make you think less of me?"

"Matt smiled. MAYBE if you killed someone, that's it."

"You know I would never do that."

"If someone threatened Kari?"

"That's different!"

Matt laughed. "Seriously, what do you want to talk about?"

"Well… Matt… do you know how much you mean to me?"

Matt looked a little shocked.

"Um… yeah… we are… best friends."

Tai suddenly lost his nerve. He wanted to be in Matt's arms so bad, but not at the cost of their friendship. Tai smiled at Matt.

"Yeah… we are… thank you for always being there for me."

Matt smiled back.

"You too. You're the best friend I could ever asked for."

They sat there for a few minutes until it was time for prom.

'Close one' Matt thought, 'He cant tell me he loves me… that's MY job!'
