Chapter Four: Marshmallow Dreams
"You can't be serious!"
"But I am serious, Tk. And today Ken and Daisuke are going to tell each other how they feel."
Hikari was lying on her bed, painting her fingernails and talking to Tk on the cordless phone.
"Are you sure they'll be good together?" Tk asked uncertainly.
"Most definitely." Hikari assured him.
"Alright then. But if they both end up hurt because of this-"
"Stop it, Tk. I thought you'd be happy that Daisuke is leaving me alone now."
Hikari heard a sigh from the other line. "Not like I can go out with you anymore. Taichi and Yamato are going to be married soon, remember? That means that we're going to be in-laws. I can't go out with my sister-in-law."
"Right, right..." Hikari sighed. She didn't like that fact.
"So... What are we going to do now? We never talked about it before..."
Hikari was a bit taken aback by the question. "Erm... What do you mean?"
"Well, are we going our separate ways?"
"Oh..." Hikari thought for a moment. "I guess we have to, don't we?"
"Yeah..."
"But it's not like we'll never see each other ever again, right?"
"Right."
For the first time Hikari felt a bit awkward talking to Tk. She honestly had not realized that being in-laws meant that they couldn't date anymore. Tk had always been the one she wanted to be with forever. But now she had to sacrifice her happiness because Taichi was marrying Tk's brother. She thought a moment then laughed.
"What?"
"Did your mom disown Yamato?" She asked, excitedly.
"..." Tk thought for a moment before laughing also. "That's right! When she found out he was gay! That means..."
"We won't be in-laws!" Hikari finished for him. "Yay! Now we can date again! So, who have you been going out with while I was away?"
"Hikari..." She could just see Tk rolling his eyes.
"That's what you get for dating a girl who grew up with Taichi." She said, trying to sound serious.
"Yeah, whatever."
"So, I'll be seeing you at the mall this afternoon?"
"Yeah."
"Good. I'll see you then, I have to get off the phone now." Hikari blew on her nails to dry them faster.
"Sure, sure. I'll talk to you then."
"Kiss, kiss." Hikari made a kissing sound into the phone.
"Eeww..." Tk said rather childishly.
Hikari only laughed.
Daisuke looked around him. He looked down and picked up a bit of the white thing he was standing on. He popped it in his mouth to find it was a giant marshmallow. "What the heck am I doing on top of a giant marshmallow?" He thought out loud. He looked behind him to find the other half of the marshmallow was a cliff. And sitting on the edge of the cliff was Ken. His legs where dangling off the side and he swung them back and forth as though trying to keep himself entertained while he was waiting for someone.
"Ken!" Daisuke cried out, smiling.
Ken turned to him and smiled back sweetly. "Daisuke! There you are!"
Daisuke laughed. "Were you waiting for me?"
"I was." Ken nodded.
"What for?"
Ken stood, walked over to him and hugged him.
"You were waiting to give me a hug?" Daisuke asked, blinking.
"So what if I was? I like getting hugs, don't you?" Ken asked, looking up at him a bit sadly.
Daisuke smiled back. "No, no, I don't mind. I just think it's a little weird. We're standing on top of this giant marshmallow, cliff, thing. You were waiting for me for god-knows-how-long and all you wanted to do was give me a hug."
Ken shrugged. "Hey, it's not my dream."
"No but it's a nice dream." Daisuke picked some more marshmallow and popped it in his mouth. "Yum!"
"Daisuke..."
Daisuke blinked. That wasn't Ken's voice.
"Daisuke..."
Who's voice was that? Ken vanished into thin air.
"DAISUKE!"
A sharp pain went through Daisuke's head. "OUCH!"
Jun was standing over him with a wooden spoon. "Weren't you supposed to be at the mall in a half hour?" She asked, pointing at the clock. You said to wake you a half-hour before you were supposed to leave."
Daisuke mumbled something about a bad wake-up call as he rubbed his head and got up, stretching. "Yeah, yeah. I'm going."
"Good. I'm going to bake."
Daisuke raised an eyebrow at her. "Bake? But why?"
"For my Yama-chan!" Daisuke sweat dropped. She went starry-eyed and ran from the room.
"Oh boy..." He sighed as he pulled a clean pair of jeans on. He grabbed his goggles from his dresser and snapped them into place on his head. He looked at himself in the mirror and nodded in approval. "I have to look just right for Ken... Because I'm finally going to tell him the truth..."
Daisuke laughed a bit, remembering his dream. "I'm surprised I didn't wake up earlier since he said it was a dream!" He smiled as he looked in the mirror again. "I wonder if Ken will think it's funny too. I'll have to ask him..." And with that said he left the apartment for the mall where he would hopefully get his crush to become his love.
