Vigatus: That's a good question. I'm not sure how I want you guys to feel about him yet. I guess with catution for the moment.

Thanks for the reviews

New Chapter:

"Do you think she's thinking about me?" Tai asked from the chair that he seem to smother with his body.

"Who?" I glanced up from my books.

"My girlfriend," he looked a little annoyed.

"Sure," I said softly, returning to my books, "I bet she's out there telling all her friends about you as we speak."

"You think!" Tai sat straight in the chair.

"It's not every day a stranger pulls your hair out," I smirked, "She's probably warning them about the mall hair grabber!"

"Funny!" He glared at me with his chocolate eyes.

"Hmmm," I shrugged, continuing with my work at hand.

"How you doing, Sor?" Izzy came out from his room and looked over some of my work. "Looks like you might have to look at this one again. Oh and number twelve needs looked into a little more."

Frowning I snatched my sheet from him. I wasn't trying to be rude but I hate it when I miss up. I thought everything was right for once! That is when it started, the annoying noise from Tai's jacket.

"Hello! This is the marvellous Tai speaking, what would you like me to do for you today!" Tai said in his cheering voice that made me giggle each time. "Oh hi Davis. Um…No Kari isn't here. I think she went out with…" Tai grinned, "No she isn't with Tk, at least I don't think so." Silence and Tai rolled his eyes. "Because she isn't here so I'm not sure who she is with right now." A frown formed on my best friend's face, "I highly doubt that she is off with some homeless bum spinning a bottle at a local circus." A shake of a head, "I'm sure of it because we don't have a local circus and why would she kiss a bear?" I could hear Davis voice echoing through Tai's phone yet it was somewhat mumbled. "No I don't know where she is right now. I'm at Izzy's….She's not here." Tai wrinkled up his eyebrow, "Why would I lie to you? If she told me she didn't want to talk to you then I would say, she does not want to talk to you….NO, I did not say that. I said IF, Davis! IF" another head shake. "Yeah bye."

"What was that about?" I asked but was interrupted by a duck quacking sound from Tai's phone.

"Sorry, that would be Tk." Tai sighed, "Hello Tk. Huh? No, Kari isn't here. Don't know where she is now. No, I'm not watching her, she asked for her freedom and mom gave it to her…." Tai grinned, "I'm not sure if she is with Davis but I don't think so….because he asked if she was with me. Yeah if I see her I'll let her know….bye."

"And that was…" I asked.

"It seems Tk and Davis are trying to locate my sister before the other one does," Tai grinned, "I love being in the middle sometimes. It's so exciting!"

Tai's phone rang again. "Still me!" He mouth Davis' name to us, "He just hung up with me. No Davis, he is not here. If he were, why would he call me? I am sure he isn't hiding in the apartment somewhere….No, I don't think its right to look under Izzy's parent's bed….why. Because!" Tai slapped his forehead, "I told you she isn't here! I'm not lying! Why would I? I don't know where he is, Tk doesn't report to me when he wanders off from his mommy's view." Tai tilted his head, "His phone is busy because he is using it, just leave a message with on his cell?…yeah I'll tell her if I see her before you."

"Now I'm curious," Izzy leaned back on the sofa next to me, he casually put his arm behind my back on the sofa.

"So am I,'' Tai grinned. "They are only using little words. It's as if they are trying to keep something from me yet have me help them at the same time."

"Okay now this problem," I pointed to number twelve, back to my school work. "I can't find my mistake…" I looked over as Tai's phone started to quack.

"Speak to me," Tai answered. "Yeah he just called….I guess he was still looking for Kari. No, she didn't show up yet. I don't know. Don't know….What do you mean about what he said? I don't think he knows what he is talking about so how am I suppose to understand?…No I didn't get a chance to call Kari…because you two are calling me! Sure, he mentioned you briefly. Um…just if you were here, that's all. No, he didn't say anything else. Yeah okay."

"Take the batteries out!" I pleaded with him.

"What if Kari calls?" Tai asked his eyes huge. Then a doorbell tone went off on his phone. "That's Matt." He unfolded his phone, "Yes….hold up. What? What don't you want in the middle of… Why do I have to tell them? He's your brother, you tell him you don't want to talk to him! Oh…right that would be talking to him. Only twice so far…how many? Kari's calling you too? Why?" there was a long pause and I noticed Tai clenching his teeth. " Oi! Sure, bye."

"What did he want?" Izzy asked carefully.

"I don't know exactly, he's pissed but he hinted that I should think about our friendship and maybe get an alibi before I do anything irrational. I am to tell Tk, Davis, and Kari to stop calling Matt and that he doesn't care right now, won't care tomorrow or the days to follow, so they are suppose to leave him alone or the band will drown their heads in the down town public restroom's toilets. "

"Eww…" I wrinkled my nose, knowing that they would.

"Tk again," Tai picked up the phone, "Ello….No, I'm not calling him. Because he just called me….To tell you to stop calling him and he isn't talking to you at the moment. I'm suppose to also tell you that Kari isn't there, she has no reason to be there, Davis isn't there, he has no reason to be there, and he doesn't care about this stupid mess you got yourself into…However, between you and me, I think he was just a little pissed that you called him eight times during band practice and he really does care…well he will later. You know how touché he can get." Tai rolled his eyes. "No, I don't think it's wise to get Sora to call…yeah I'm sure he would pick up for her but he'd hang up just as fast once she tells him that she is calling for you…No, Tk. They just got over a big fight; you don't need to involve her in this right now. So, um….what's going on?" Tai's eyes grew huge, "really? Both of you? How is she taking it? Why would you two do that to her! I see…I said I see not that I understood! What if she doesn't like either of you? What if she goes for someone different….I think that's illegal to do that to someone….I thought your brother had some issues….man you flipped! You're asking me now what I think of the idea? I think it's a stupid idea. I think I might have to find a way to get rid of two corpse tomorrow afternoon."

Tai flipped the phone over. "Okay here's what I got. For some odd reason Tk decided Davis could have Kari. Told Kari that if she can't choose between them, he'll choose for her. His logic is that if she realise what a moron Davis is, she would dump Davis and leave an open path for Tk. Now Davis thought that was a great idea but that Tk should be the one to date Kari first. Now both of them are fighting over who isn't going to date Kari and my sister feels that neither of them likes her now. She called Matt to see if he knew what was going on, because my phone was busy. Then Matt called Tk to tell him that she's upset. Tk called Davis and he related the message. So then Davis tried to call Kari but I guess she's too upset to talk to them, she isn't picking up. Davis tried to call Matt since he was the last person to speak to her. Now they are both looking for her, thinking whoever gets her first will be able to smooth it over and become the guy of her dreams or whatever. I don't know…I think I need to go and find her though. Why do they have to be so stupid?" Tai stood up. "Izz, can you walk them home tonight?"

''Mimi drove," I told him.

"Oh…Well in that case, Izzy can you make sure Mimi doesn't hit any street signs on her way home?" Tai asked.

"Sure Tai go find Kari and don't worry about them." Izzy smiled as Tai walked out the door.

"I'm glad I don't have two guys like Davis and Tk following me around," I looked over at my friend.

"Scary isn't it?" Izzy smirked, leaning forward and picking up a little bag with hair inside.

"Tk and Davis or Tai?" I asked, not sure, whom he was actually referring too.

"Tk and Davis," Izzy smiled, holding up the bag, "Tai is Tai. Once he has an idea stuck in his mind, he sticks to it until he gets whatever he is after. That's normal."

"I guess love can make people do the strangest things," I eyed him carefully.

"I wouldn't know," Izzy slipped the hair in his pant pockets.

"Aw, come on. This is me," I pointed to myself, "I know how you feel about Mims! I have watched you two for the longest time and I really don't understand why you two aren't…"

"We're not right for each other," Izzy cut me off. "It just isn't right to start something when you know it's going to fail in the end. What's the point?"

"Better to love then not to love at all," I reminded him.

"If you can't finish it, don't start it." Izzy muttered.

"That's something Matt would say, not you!" I put my head on his shoulder, looking up at his face with the puppy dog stare. "You might be missing something if you don't try."

"I could also mess up a good friendship," Izzy shook his head. "Look I'm glad it's working for you and Matt, but I'm not Matt. Mimi is….well she's gorgeous she is perfect every day of her life and she's always in the spot light. I am…plain. A nobody, just a kid who likes computers. A nerd. Her friends…"

"Don't say it. I know where you are going and you are wrong. Mimi does not let her friends decide what is best for her. She's honest and her heart is there for you to take, I just hope you hurry up before someone else takes it." I stood up and walked towards the kitchen with an empty cup in my hand, leaving Izzy there to think.

I sat down at the table, the empty cup placed in front of me wondering if I should just keep my nose out of their business like Matt suggested. I can still here his words, if it's meant to be…

I suppose a half an hour went by, my mind kept drifting back to numerous things before my best friend waltzed into the kitchen with a huge smile on her face. "Ready?" She hooked her pink pocket book over her shoulder and twirled her oversized key chain around in the air.

"Huh..oh yeah," I put the cup in the sink and reached for my sweater and headed for the living room to gather my stuff.

"Sor," Mimi grasped my shirt sleeve, pulling me closer to her. "You're right and um; don't look surprised when we leave."

"What?" I asked her back as she bounced into the living room. Izzy was trying to help by gathering some of my books and placing them back in the bag.

"Well, thanks for all your help Izzy." Mimi smiled, watching him hand me my bag.

"Any time," He returned the smile, leading us to the door. "Just promise to drive carefully going home, alright? Tai was pretty upset when he left and I don't want to be on his hit list under Tk and Davis."

"So it's not our well being you are worried about but if Tai would kill you or not?" I teased, raising my head to kiss his cheek. I'm not sure, when everyone grew to be taller; it's as if it happen over summer.

"We will be careful," Mimi smiled, walking behind me out of the door, "Oh Izzy I almost forgot." She put her hand behind his head; she leaned over and covered his mouth with her own. My eyes grew large and I know my mouth fell open as I watched. Izzy's eyes were as large as mind at first but they started to close as Mimi worked her magic, pressing her body close to his as she deepens the kiss. His hand slowly rose to rest on her hip and I had to take my eyes away, to give them a little more privacy. More then I could say for a few of his neighbours that were peeking down the hall at them.

"I'll wait down in the lobby," I smiled to myself, turning on my heels and headed for the elevator. I couldn't wait to call Matt up and blow it in his face.
