"Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to me!" A blonde haired girl sang as she danced around the basement room of the Alpha dorm. She plopped down rockily onto a sofe in front of a table and looked at her cake and clapped her hands, smiling.

She was the only one in the room.

She grabbed a piece of the cake with her right hand and in two bites swallowed it down. Then, with her left hand, she grabbed a black belt and hugged it close, laying down with the icing of the cake still around her mouth. She closed her eyes, and snuggled into the cushy yellow sofa.

Sora, a pretty girl who was taller than most of the boys she dated, and with warm brown eyes and flip up auburn hair, walked into her room, which was the basement of Alpha dorm, and put down her art supplies. Sora was going to the college for art, surprising all her friends when she told them. She was very good at what she did, and she had many friends.

She peeked over the sofa in the middle of the back of them room and smiled, "So we can share this room."

-----

The blonde haired girl looked timidly at the tall girl, and realized immiedately she was the complete opposite of this girl. She hid the black belt in the sofa cushions before the girl could see it.

"So what are you majoring in? Oh, and whats your name?" the tall girl asked, moving back to her art equiment to put it away. The blonde girl got up and walked to the sink where she washed her face. When she dried it she replied, "In art. Like you. Thats the only thing we have in common. And my name is Amaya."

The tall and lean girl looked back at Amaya, "My names Sora, and your right! I am majoring in art as well." Amaya smiled a little and looked to the floor, nervous. "Oh yeah your the girl who Izzy invited to the Concert!" Sora finally reconized her. Sora smiled warmly at Amaya and looked around. She spotted a aculpture of a book. "Why did you make a sculpture of a book?" Sora inquired. Amaya looked up and ran over to it as fast as her big legs and skirt could take her.

"This is the Book of Wishing. You can find it in our library. It has 125 pages. It tells stories, explains facts, and everything about wishing." Amaya supplied, looking at Sora. Sora came up behind her and put her hands on Amaya's shoulders. Amaya looked back to the sculpture.

"This is the book that they say if you get the 126th page you can make a wish?" Sora whispered to Amaya.

"Yes... you have to wish very deeply and very hard to get that page. You have to believe it's real." Amaya whispered back.

Sora and Amaya were staring at the sculpture intently. "How foolish." Sora whispered, making Amaya look back at her.

Two weeks later...

-----

Knock knock knock...

"Koushirou..."

The witch was coming closer.

"You wished on the Wishing Book, didn't you? You got the 126th page, didn't you?" She whispered.

Knock knock knock...

"Yes..." Koushirou replied timidly.

Creak...

"What did you wish for, Koushirou?"

Crack...

"I wished for --"

Screeeeeeech...

"Wake up Koushirou..." called a different voice.

Koushirou opened his eyes to see big chocolate eyes staring into his own. Koushirou's eyes went wide before he realized it was Taichi. "You scared the fucking shit out of me Taichi!" Koushirou half-shouted to the smirking boy. "Shhh don't yell! You'll wake everyone up."

Taichi had snuck over to Koushirou's dorm, which was Beta dorm, and slipped in his window, which was second story. Luckily, it had a tree by the window. Taichi was giggling how because he scared Koushirou. "Why did you come here?" Koushirou asked, rubbing his eyes as Taichi flipped the switch on.

"Because I couldn't get to sleep. I bet you couldn't either!" Taichi said, grinning. "Yes, but thats ruined now anyway." Koushirou said grumpily, then smiled. "Now i'm glad you came over. I've wanted to fix your hair for ages!" Taichi gasped and almost screamed, "WHAT?"

-----

An hour later...

-----

"You've got to be kidding me. This isn't happening. Its just a nightmare. This isn't real." Taichi was saying as he looked in the mirror, seeing a smiling Koushirou in the back ground. "I've always had talent as a hair dresser!" Koushirou stated energetically. "Dude, are you gay?" Taichi looked at Koushirou seriously, who tilted his head at Taichi's question.

"Dude, look at your hair." Koushirou copied Tai's tone and then burst out laughing. Taichi looked back in the mirror and got a look of horror on his face once again. My poor... beautiful... once sticking up and defying gravity hair..." Taichi said horribly, touching the long, wavy brown hair that hung from his head to dangle a little below his shoulders. "I look... like a woman." Taichi said in horror.

This only made Izzy laugh harder, because an image of Tai in a pink dress and cowboy hat on like Mimi would normally wear made Izzy burst out laughing harder. Taichi looked back around at Koushirou, "You shall pay, my pretty, and your little curling thingy mabobs, too!" Taichi said mimicking a witch's voice. They they promptly both burst out laughing even more, Izzy on the floor clutching his stomache, tears flowing freely.

"You know, Izzy," Taichi started when he could finally breath, "If that blood red hair of yours wasn't so damn long, i'd shave you bald for this." Koushirou laughed alittle at this, but really couldn't, because he was all laughed out, laying on his back, trying to breath. "Its... not... that long." Koushirou said, finally catching his breath, and then started giggling uncharacteristically.

"Hell your hair ain't that long my ass!" Taichi exclaimed. "It comes to... to..." Taichi was looking at his own hair, and then back at Izzy's, then he smiled so big he was in danger of breaking his face in half. "Yeah, see, its as long as yours when its down." Koushirou stated, still giggling slightly.

Koushirou's hair always seemed to be pulled back in a loose tie, but he sat up and pulled it out now and then shook his head so it wouldn't feel so bunched up. He then layed back down and let his hair flop wildly onto the floor.

Taichi walked over to Izzy and promptly fell on his ass, slipping on the loose blankets that had fallen off of Koushirou's bed. Koushirou burst out laughing again and even Taichi was laughing again. "You clumsy ass." Izzy said to Tai, not really insulting him. "I love you." Koushirou smiled down at Tai and looked at him dreamily, then got up and jumped in bed, grabbing some blankets and cuddling up in them.

Then he stated in a one-way-street voice, "Either you leave or sleep on the floor." then he trhew a pillow at Taichi, who caught it, and grabbed two of the blankets that layed on the floor, and turned off the lights before snuggling into them.

Not soon afterwards Izzy was asleep and Tai just couldn't seem to get there. So he rolled over on his side and his mind started to wander. He started thinking about how Izzy never seemed to date girls, he only had dated one that lasted more than a few days, and that had been Mimi. Mimi and him were still good friends, but no one other than those two knew why they had broken up.

Izzy didn't really remark on how girls looked, he just said they were cute or pretty sometimes when Tai asked what he thought. Then he started thinking about how Izzy always did things for him, took blame for him like he had when they went to the concert, and could say "I love you" so freely to him.

Thats when he realized that Izzy might love him in more than a brotherly way.
