CHEERS!


"Hey Matt…"Tai stared at all of the elevator buttons.

"No," Matt simply said.

"But you didn't even listen to what I was going to say!"

"You say the same thing every time we are in an elevator and I said no."

"But…"

"No."

"Just this one…"

"No."

"You are…"

"I don't care how evil you think I am I still say no."

"I can't believe this. It would only be for this one…"

"No."

"But…"

"No."

"I hate you!"

"No you don't."

"Yes I do!"

"No you don't."

"Yea, I really do! You never let me do anything!"

"You sound like a child."

"You are treating me like one.''

"Because you are acting like one."

"Am not!"

"Are too."

Tai crossed his arms and glared at Matt.

"Big baby." Matt hissed.

"No I'm not!" Tai argued, stomping a foot and out of spit, he pressed all the buttons on the elevator.

"Didn't I just tell you no?" Matt slapped his hand.

"Um…Yeah.'' Tai held his bruised hand to his chest.

"Then why did you do it?"

"I don't know…and you hite me!" Tai shrugged looking guilty as the first floor open for no one and the elevator's doors hummed shut again. "Hey this reminds me of this show I was watching where a kid pressed all the buttons and on one of the floors there was this ghost waiting for him with an axe and blood dripping and…"

"Don't even start," Sora put her hand over his mouth as the second floor opened to an empty hallway. "I hate apartments…No I hate elevators."

"howlcums?" Tai mumbled.

"What?" Sora looked over at him. He wiggled out of her grip.

"How comes?"

"Because you made me watch all of those stupid horror movies!" Sora glared at the brunette.

"Blondie glares much better then you do," Tai smiled.

"Don't be calling me that," Matt kept his eyes on the floor lights above the elevator door.

"I think it's cute," Sora gave an indifference shrugged.

The trio stood quiet as the elevator door kept opening and closing. On the eighth floor, there was actually someone waiting. An older man in his sixties slowly steps through the doors, standing between Sora and Tai.

"Nice evening huh?" Tai asked him. The old man turned and looked up at Tai's bushy hair, mud stricken face and the condom still bouncing proudly on his belt buckle, gave a grumble aboutsomething and faced the doors again. Once again, the door open for ninth floor, the elderly man turned to look at Tai over his shoulder.

"Goldilocks back there pressed all the buttons," Tai nodded in Matt's direction.

"Humph," The man glanced over at Matt, who was glaring at Tai.

"Told him not too," Tai sighed, "The boy never listens. I can't take him anywhere…"Tai clear his throat at the tenth floor opens.

"Humph…"The old man rocked on his heels as the door closed.

"Ah, our stop!" Tai smiled as the door open to floor eleven. "Well it's been nice talking to you sir! I'll have to stop around sometime soon so we can do this again!"

"Come on Tai," Matt and Sora walked passed the old man to get into the hallway.

Tai started to follow but turned around to face the elderly man, "BeBoop!" Tai tapped the tip of the old man's nose, "You sir had just been Bebooped!" Stepping out of the elevator, Tai waved before the door could shut. The old man kept rubbing his nose.

"Beboop?" Sora glanced at Tai.

"Yeah, beboop…bound to confuse the hell out of anyone." Tai rubbed the back of his head.

"Not the first time you had bebooped someone, is it?" Matt raised an eyebrow.

"No sir, I am not a virgin to the bebooping of people. My goal in life is not to spread despair but to spreadharmony ofbebooping through out the world. Soon, one day, everyone will be bebooping someone else."

"You are truly odd," Matt walked down to his apartment, slipping the key into the door.

"You are just jealousy because I bebooped that man and not you."

"Tai, you can Beboop anyone your heart desires," Matt held open his door for them to enter.

"Mean that?" Tai asked, peering around the doorway.

"What are you doing?"

"Just checking…to see if it's safe," Tai reached around the corner and flicked the on switch for the lights. "So far, so good….BEBOOP!" Tai tapped Matt's nose and raced in the apartment.

"Just…don't ever do that to me!" Matt glared at Tai.

"Humph…" Tai crossed his arms and looked around the apartment. "Hey wasn't that can of soda here the last time I was?"

"Yeah," Matt stood beside him, looking at the Pepsi can on the living room table, "You need to take consideration to the fact that you were here this afternoon, that it is your can that you didn't bother throwing away."

"Oi…"Tai shrugged.

"It…"Sora glanced around Matt's apartment, "Doesn't look too bad."

"Take notice to the hesitation," Tai jabbed Matt in the ribs.

"Shut up," Matt hissed.

"No really it isn't as messy as Tai kept warning me about," Sora moved around the room, "it looks very empty though. White…."She sighed, "There is too much white."

"I like white," Matt crossed his arms.

"You need more colour and there aren't any pictures on the wall."

"It would be one more thing to dust." Matt shrugged.

"Do people dust pictures?" Tai asked.

"You should have plants," Sora pointed to a corner of the living room, "That would be a good spot for a nice…."

"I don't want plants," Matt frowned, "I'm not here enough to keep care of plants."

"You have no fish in the fish tank…"Sora leaned forward to a large aquarium behind his sofa.

"They all went down to fish heaven…"Tai, sighed.

"Why have a fish tank with no fish?" Sora asked, "But you have water in it and the water is clear…what is that?" Sora pointed to a huge shell in the middle of the tank.

"That is Matt's killer snail!" Tai beamed, leaning over the tank. "All of his fish died but this snail reminds. I believe it to be a prime suspect behind the murders for three…"

"Four…"

"I stand corrected, four fish!" Tai gave a nod of his head, "I'm having trouble finding proof. But I do believe the snail is showing signs of remorse!"

Sora gave Tai a quick look then glanced back down at the shell, "How could you possible tell that?"

"Because three days after the last killing of the…fourth fish, the snail tried to comment suicide."

"Really?" Sora grins, "And tell me how does a snail comment suicide?"

"I came over one morning to get lazy bones out of bed…"

"It was four in the morning!" Matt said from behind the two. "I am not a morning person!"

"And he went to take a shower and I notice the snail wasn't in there. I assumed that it too had died like the fish before it…" Tai stood up, "But that wasn't the case. Once Blondie was…"

"Stop calling me that," Matt warned him.

"…Finishing his shower I told him about the missing snail. I thought I would be a friend to a person in grief but Matt wasn't grieving at all. He told me it was there last night. We came to an agreement that it died over night and his father threw it down to hell…"

"To hell?"

"In the toilet." Matt told her, "But he wouldn't have done that because it would have clogged it up."

"So we searched the waste can."

"Tai searched the waste can."

"Which I will never do again but at that time I was naïve about the way of living between this child and his father…"

"This child?" Matt quirked up an eyebrow.

"If you go trash diving, I highly recommend gloves. Moving on…I couldn't find the snail in the trash and Matt wasn't too concern."

"I wasn't going through the trash looking for a dead snail," Matt wrinkled up his nose.

"I gave up about that time and came back in here where I happen to glance down at the floor and wouldn't you know it, this little slimy mutant was sloping up the wall!"

"If it was trying to comment suicide, why was it going up and not down?" Sora asked.

"Because he was going on his second attempt! Cleary the first jump didn't work so, not being a quitter, he was going to try again!"

"Ah, I see!" Sora smiled, stretching. "Well, who showers first?"

"You do," Tai smiled, "Ladies first…"

"Aw…that's so sweet. I didn't realise you could be the gentleman!" Sora yawned lazily.

"Oh it's not that. If there is any mold, your shower would knock it off the wall first!" Tai beamed at her. Matt rolled his eyes.

"Oh…"

"It's not that bad, Sor." Matt told her, putting his arm around her shoulder and leading her to the bathroom. "The bathroom is actually the cleanest part of the house."

"Oh yeah."

"Yeah, we don't eat or sleep in there," Matt shrugged showing her the bathroom.

"COLOR!" Sora smiled as she was instantly hit with a brilliant blue, "Wow."

"Dad just refinished modeling the bathroom," Matt gave a half a smile.

"It's nice, now long did it take him?"

"About four years," Matt gave her a small smirk, "We don't have a whole lot of time on our hand. Tk actually did most of it with dad."

"It smells like you," Sora turned around in the room. It was a simple set up, nothing bold but the colours did fit the room. The sink was a simple white base as well as the toilet. The shower was a walk in, the doors to that were clear glass with silver. The mirror was set deep into the wall, opening up to a medicine cabinet.

"Is that a bad thing?" Matt raised an eyebrow.

"Oh um," She blushed, "No. I meant I could smell your cologne. I always liked the way you smell. I mean…well where are your towels kept?"

Matt went across the hall, opening a linen closet and came back with two huge fluffy towels and a washcloth. "I'll get you some clothes. My room is the third door on the right; you can go in there to change."

"Thanks…" Sora blushed again as she closed the door.

Standing on the other side of the door, Matt could hear the swishing sound of the shower door swing open and close again.

"You okay?" Tai gave up behind him, chewing on a straw.

"Fine," Matt turned and head down the hall to his room.

"You didn't look fine back there a moment ago. You looked a bit flushed."

"I'm fine Tai."

"Sure?"

"Yeah," Matt went to his closet and started searching for a shirt for Sora to wear, "I think Tk might have something in his closet closer to her size."

"Tk still keeps clothes here?"

"Yeah," Matt pulled out a black shirt with his band logo on the back, "This might be long enough for her to wear as a dress."

"Girls don't sleep in dresses."

"You know what I mean…" Matt looked back at his messy closet, "Maybe I should clean this out…"

"Won't be tonight will it?"

"Nah…"

"Won't be tomorrow either, huh?"

"Don't think so…"

"So when?"

"I don't know."

"My mom would make you do it tonight, should I call her?"

"You were suppose to, how else is she going to know where you are at?"

"Oi…"Tai picked up a CD off the floor. "I think I have this one."

"You gave it to me."

"I did? Why?"

"It was my birthday," Matt told him.

"Ah…" Tai set it back down on the floor.

"Get that straw out of your mouth, no telling how long it's been sitting around in here. I don't think I went to a fast food restaurant this month."

"That's gross…."

"You were chewing on it." Matt watched as Tai carefully examine the bed before sitting down on it. "Something the matter?"

"Yeah, it's about these clothes." Tai held up some of Matt's clothes.

"If you don't like them, you can waltz around in a towel until your clothes are dried."

"It's not that…I was thinking."

"You were?"

"I was wondering if I could wear something of your dad's."

"Why? Have you seen what he wears?"

"Yeah but I've seen him out of his business suits too!"

"Have you now?" Matt raised an eyebrow.

"Not that…I mean I have seen him in NORMAL clothes."

"Alright then," Matt leaned against his wall, "What is wrong with my clothes? They don't stink, they may be a little wrinkly but hell, you are just going to bed! You use to wear my clothes all the time. Some shirts I never did get back."

"It's not that it's….well our bodies are different now."

"Did you grow boobs?" Matt grinned.

"I wish," Tai smiled, "You wouldn't get me out of bed then!"

"I hope some day you will show them to me." Matt sat down on the bed close beside Tai, putting an arm round the other's shoulder, he leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I promise that I won't tell."

"DORK!" Tai pushed him off the bed, watching Matt laugh until his face turned red. "It's not THAT funny!" But Tai couldn't help but laugh along. Matt didn't laugh much but when he did, everyone had to laugh with him. His laughter was contagious and carefree.

"YOU TWO OKAY?" Sora yelled from the bathroom.

"FINE!" They both said in union.

"Done now?" Tai asked as Matt climbed back onto the bed.

"Okay," Matt wiped away a few tears.

"Look at yourself and now look at me? We are different!" Tai sighed.

"We are both boys Tai. You might act like a sissy but…"

"You play this blonde trip to the end don't you?" Tai lifted up his eyebrows, "My shoulders are wider then yours AND your skinner. Not that I'm fat, I just have a better muscle tone then you do."

"Girls like me better."

"No they don't."

"Yeah they do."

"Only because of those 'blues' and you look like an angel, which ever girl knows your not."

"Like you're any better."

"But if you didn't have blue eyes or be as blonde as you are, you would be…well you would be your brother."

"Girls go after Tk too, hell your sister…"

"NO! We do not talk about your brother and my sister!" Tai stood up. "The fact is, your clothes are too tight for me!"

"Whatever…"Matt stood up and went back down the hall into his father's room.

"Why is your father's room so neat and your room isn't?" Tai asked, glancing at a picture on Matt's father's nightstand, "You and Tk look cute in this picture…wonder what went wrong."

"Dad isn't home as much as I am," Matt mumbled from the closet. "Will you wear this?" He held up a white shirt and pyjama bottoms.

"I have no problems about wearing the shirt but let me ask you something about the bottoms," Tai stood back, rubbing his chin and staring at the cotton pants in Matt's hand, "Does your father wear anything else under those?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know?" Matt's blue eye grew large.

"You live with him!"

"But I don't ask if he is wearing underwear under his bottoms!"

"You're not that close to your father are you?" Tai shook his head.

"Does your father?"

"No…he sleeps in the nude." Tai smirked.

"Why do I even ask you these things?"

"You like my flinking responses."

"Flinking?"

"I like that word."

"Like Beboop?" Matt tapped Tai on the tip of the nose.

"You just bebooped me!" Tai smiled, "You're not a Beboop virgin anymore!"

"I thought we already established that in the hallway when you flicked me on the nose."

"I did not flick you anywhere! I am a very loving bebooping person. I gently tapped you on the nose!"

"Sorry…So yougoing wear these or not?"
