Reviews:

To all those who had taken the time to make a review, Thank you. I hope you are enjoying the story and the end is indeed in sight. I think one more chapter might do it. OR maybe I'll just make a new story with Jun/Tai. We'll see. Thanks once again!

Cheers!


I stood upon Davis' front porch, waiting for Tai to knock to let the family know of our presents. He stood beside me, mumbling incoherently at the doorknob as if it was better at helping him out then me.

Glancing over at the street, I hunched further into my cozy yet somewhat damp jacket. Normally it didn't get chilly this early but with the rain came the chilly air. I heard the creaking of boards under Tai's footfalls as he paced back and forth. With out turning, I knew he was running his hands through his hair trying to warm up what brain cells he had left in that thick skull of his. I am not sure what actually pushed him to coming up to Jun's place, he just asked me to tag along with no questions asked. So here I am, on a front porch, in the cold, watching the rain bounce off the street with questions on my mind. I gave a deep sigh and rolled my eyes when Tai started to talk to the door.

"Tai, would you knock already or would you prefer I did?" I turned around on the heel of my boots. I thought it was gracefully however I suppose some would think it was childish.

"What do I say Sor?" Tai groaned.

"What you always say, the first thing that comes out of your mouth." I patted his shoulder, "You never thought about it before, why start now?"

"I can't believe I didn't realise it was Jun!" Tai leaned against the door.

"Well…she DOES look different with blonde hair," I tried to help.

"How could I have fallen in love with Jun?" Tai asked me, the third time today.

"Well you're not really sure you love her you know. I mean you saw her and you created this image but it doesn't mean she fits it. You know what she is like…"

"She's ignoring!" Tai spatted.

"Oi, there are worse out there and you know, Matt did say she changed." I gave him a warm smile. "Go on, knock would ya?"

Tai took a deep breath and slammed his knuckles against the door.

"It's about bloody time," Tk, of all people opened the door. He had a handful of crackers in his hands.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"About time for what?" Tai asked at the same time.

"'Bout time you knocked," Davis peered pass Tk. He held a can of cheese wiz and started to squirt some in his mouth.

"You dork!" Tk knocked him along side the head, "That's for the crackers!"

"You knew we were out here?" I asked.

"Yeah," Tk scratched his head and gave a sheepish look. "We watched you though the kitchen."

"Why didn't you ask for us to come in?" I asked.

"We weren't sure of your attentions." Davis slurped out through a mouth full of cheese.

"Davis! The bloody crackers!" Tk grapped the cheese from Davis embrace. "You're a moron."

"You're a bigger moron."

"I can't be a moron if you are a moron because I'm a hell a lot smarter then your pug face!"

"Lovely," I rolled my eyes. "Why are you here TK?"

"Davis invited me over," Tk popped a round cracker in his mouth.

"Why? You two hate each other." I asked.

"True but when he said Tai was talking to his door, I had to come over."

"Excuse me?" I tilted my head.

"WHAT!" Tai looked anger.

"I jumped a few fence and came through the backdoor." Tk smiled, "Very entertaining."

"Why would you call him?" I looked over at Davis.

"Because Tai's here to pound in my face. You know, what we did to Kari," Davis frowned, "I thought Tk would help out…"

"I only came to watch," Tk scuffed down another cracker.

"You are pathetic…" I looked over at Tk.

"Ha! I told you that you were pathetic!" Davis swiped a cracker from Tk.

"So are you!" I walked through the door, "It's freezing out that!"

"It's not that bad…" Tk went on.

"So…" Davis took a deep breath, "This is it, huh?"

"What?" Tai asked.

Davis closed his eyes tightly, "I'm ready…"

"For what?" Tai lifted up his eyebrows.

"For my punishment," Davis squeezed one eye open. "Tk said that you would do it quickly if I held still…."

"Do you always listen to him?" I asked.

Davis looked over at Tk for a moment then back at me, "No…"

"Then why did you start now?" I asked.

"Dunno…" Davis' eyes grew wide, "I have a better chance if I run, don't I?" He glanced over at Tk, "I'm going to kill you! You were going to watch me get slaughtered!"

"Would you shut up?" Tk asked, "You know what Tai. Just hit me. Get it over with and nail me one."

"I'm not going to hit you," Tai shook his head.

"No, I insist that you hit me." Tk held up his hands.

"Go on, hit him!" Davis smiled.

"I'm not." Tai crossed his arms. "I may come across at being slow but I know what will happen if I do hit you."

"Matt won't do anything; he'll say I deserve it." Tk told Tai.

"Yeah, he does deserve it. I'd give him a good black eye if I were you." Davis encourage.

"No, no no." Tai scratched his head, "It has nothing to do with your brother but everything to do with my sister."

"Kari won't say anything, she's mad at us!" Tk said.

"Well yeah…" Tai shook his head.

"Just hit him and what happens, it happens." Davis urged.

"Davis if I would to hit Tk, what do you think would happen?"

"He'd be in a lot of pain." Davis grinned.

"You are a sick little bastard," I said softly.

"Uh…so?" Davis frowned.

"No. See since Kari isn't talking to either of you, TK thinks sympathy would help him. If I would hit him, Kari would be furious and run to his aid. She's nurse him all up, alone…maybe in the dim light because it might hurt his swollen eye…"

"YOU BASTARD!" Davis yelled. "You were going to still my punch!" He dived on Tk. "Tai came to hit me, not you!"

"You're a freak!" Tk yelled.

"HEY!" Jun came pouncing down the stairs. "Honestly, I don't know why you two even bother hanging around each other if you despise the other!"

"You know what they say, keep your friends close but your enemy closer." Tk shrugged, untangling himself from Davis.

"I'd say you two were very close," I grinned, which received me harmful stares.

"Oh," Jun turned towards Tai and me. She ran her hand through her hair, as to protect it. "I didn't notice you two were here."

"Err…well here we are!" Tai smiled.

"Yeah," She glanced over at her brother, "Clean up your mess before Mum comes home or you'll be grounded again." She then turned to us, "Well…I guess I'll see you two around." She smiled and turned to quickly depart upstairs.

"Um…JUN!" Tai called out. She turned half way up the flight of stairs. "I…I mean Sor and me, well we came by to see you."

"Me?" Jun looked at me nervously.

"Jun?" Tk and Davis said in union.

"Yeah…alone!" Tai glanced over at the two boys.

"Why?" Tk asked.

"You are going to punch her? It's not going to hurt me any," Davis said blankly. "Wait, sympathy…would I get that if he hit my sister?" He asked Tk.

"Nah," Tk shook his head. "Besides, she already feels sorry for you."

"Yeah?" Davis smiled.

"Yeah, truly. She knows how much it's going to hurt you when she picks me…"

"Bastard!" Davis yelled and started to chase Tk through the house and out into the pouring rain.

"Listen," Jun came down the stairs. "I'm sure there is a lot of talk at school and yes Matt is attractive but I did not do anything when I was locked in the music room!" Jun twisted her fingers together. "I mean we talked and you know…got to know each other better but I swear the piano was between us the whole time!"

"You were locked where with Matt?" I crossed my arms.

"We didn't come here for that," Tai covered my mouth.

"Oh…" Jun stared blankly.

"No. You see I…well I came to give you these," He gave her a little sandwich bag that held her hair securely inside. I had to take a deep breath so I wouldn't break out in a fit of laughter. I had no idea he was going to return her hair! I would had saved him the trip and tell him how about the insanity of his plan!

"Oh," She hesitated and took the baggy from his outreached hand. "Thanks."

"No problem." He smiled smugly. She continued to stare out him, I couldn't blame her. I gave him a nudge in the ribs. "Oh and I'm sorry. You know for pulling your hair out and all."

"Sure," She rubbed her head in memory.

"Well what I mean is that I didn't mean to pull your hair out. I didn't know it was you."

"That's good…" She said slowly. I rolled my eyes.

"I just wanted to get your attention! That's all." Tai continued to go on.

"But you didn't know it was me," Jun frowned.

"No I thought it was a different girl." Tai smiled broadly. I gave her a close look and realise this was not going where Tai wanted it to go. "I thought it was this pretty, unknown girl."

"Oh," Jun said flatly. "Excuse me for not being her!"

"Um…" Tai frowned. "I'm glad you aren't her!" He hurried up.

"Really," Jun placed her hands on her hip. "I'm so happy for you!"

"No, that's not what I mean. I mean…" He looked over at me then back at Jun. "I'm glad you are you and um….well."

"Well what, Tai?" Jun asked.
