Just when the days start getting colder
I walk the streets I never knew
And there's some words I never told you
The sound rings out like the truth

Matt rubbed his eyes and sat up as the phone rang.

"Let the machine get it..." Tai said groggily.

"No, somebody'd calling, they must want something." Matt replied, picking up the phone from the bedside table.

"Hello?" he asked, his eyes slowly closing.

"HEY MATT!" TK shouted.

Matt jumped and hesitantly replied, "What? Why are you shouting!"

"Did I wake you?"

Matt looked at the clock. "Yes...yes you did." he replied.

"Oh, well, I thought you may have been awake because it's saturday."

"What does that have to do with you calling?"

"Well, I just wanted to tell you that Kari and I are getting married!"

Matt's eyes widened and he nearly dropped the phone trying to wake Tai.

"WHAT?" Tai shouted.

"TK and Kari, they're getting married!"

Tai sat up and grabbed the phone. "You are? You're not kidding? You're being completely honest?"

"MATT! TK and Kari are getting married!"

Matt just stared at Tai and turned around, walking into the living room.

----------And if you could see
what's come over me
then you would know
Cause I'm walking free
the wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow---------

Yamato and Taichi Ishida. The two fell in love some time after highschool, have been together ever since, and couldn't be happier. They shared a strong relationship with their younger siblings, who had also fallen in love with one another, the only differance is that Yamato and Tai were already married.

----------And as I sit here in this dark room
All I seem to feel is light
And I see color
I see the maroon
In the blood of this life that's ours---------

Matt flicked through the channels on the television while lounging about on the couch. "Yamato..." Tai said quietly, steping into the room.

"What is it Tai?" Matt asked, directing his attention to Tai.

"When are you going back to work?"

"What made you decide to ask that?"

"Well, the team only plays during one part of the year, after that, I don't have a job until spring. Somebody here has to bring in some money while I'm on vacation."

"Well why can't you just get another job?"

"Becuase, when soccer season starts I'll be traveling again, meaning I won't be able to work."

"Good point...I suppose I could finish my last few college courses and get a job..."

"It would really help Yami." Tai smiled his devilish smile that drove Matt crazy.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just remember, these are night courses, I won't be home at night."

"I know. It's only for a few months, what could I possibly do wrong?"

--------Just when the days start getting longer
I walk the streets I never knew
The sun comes out for you-------

Let's just say that while Matt was off to college, Tai was calling maids, repairmen, and even firemen.

It was the night, Matt's graduation. He, among several other people, mostly older people, were excited to finally recieve their degree.

"Yamato Ishida..." the man behind the podium handed Matt his degree and he looked at Tai, who was sticking his tongue out. Matt stuck his tongue out and laughed going back to his seat.

That night, Tai and Matt celebrated...if you know what I mean...

---------And if you could see
what's come over me
then you would know
Cause I'm walking free
the wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow---------

"So what have you been studying for anyway?" Tai asked, making the two of them some coffee as Matt sat at the kitchen table and read the paper.

"I wanna be a teacher Tai. I've always wondered what it would be like to teach our youth, ya know?"

"No, I don't know. I hated school, no way in hell you could get me to go back."

Matt giggled behind his paper and looked up as Tai brought him his coffee.

"You're an athlete, I wouldn't expect you to understand."

"Whatever. I can't wait till the new school year starts, maybe then we could meet some parents and they could give us some tips."

"On what?"

"Raising a baby stupid."

"Tai, we're both men, do you expect me to just drop a baby out of my ass?"

"Yami, we've got to work on our language. And no, I mean adopting...or medicle ways."

Matt sighed. "Fine, we're go to the clinic tomorrow."

"THANK YOU YAMI!"

The whole day, all Tai could talk about was having a baby. "TAI! Shut up!"

"Yes Yami..." he obediantly answered.

"What are we having for dinner Yami, I'm starved."

"Well, tonight we're ordering pizza, I have to go to a meeting tonight regarding the new school year, and I can't cook tonight."

"Aww...okay..." Tai said, picking up the phone and ordering the pizza.
