Going All The Way!
A/N: I am back with a new chappie because I am cool like that! Lol! Anyway, Chazz takes Tasara out for dinner and Jaden and Sy are spying on them the whole time! If Tasara and Chazz catch them; it's game over!
.: Chapter 38 :.
"Good afternoon and happy Valentines day, class! I bet a lot of you have plans for this evening so I have decided to give you your homework now and you can finish it in class," said the Professor. "We will start our lesson tomorrow."
"You rock, Professor!" Theo shouted.
"Thank you, Theo. That was...nice and unexpected. Tasara, maybe you should sit in the front of the classroom today," said Professor Banner. He looked down at her knee, which was know wrapped up to hide the swelling. Tasara was limping a bit, but it didn't bother her that much. "I insist."
"I'm fine, Professor," Tasara said. "It doesn't hurt as much as it did yesterday." The Professor sighed as Zeta helped Tasara by walking behind her friend; if she was to lose balance and fall backwards. Zeta, Diana, and Tasara took their seats as class began. The Professor handed out papers for his students to work on.
"Now you can work alone or in groups," he said. People walked to where their friends were to work, but Diana, Zeta, and Tasara stayed where they were. They finished their papers, helping one another, but also assisting those who asked (Sy and Jaden).
May, Theo, BP, Acegik, and Sophia sat in the back of the classroom. May saw the back of Jackie's head and grinned. She pulled out her cell phone.
"What are you doing?" Theo asked.
"Giving Jackie a taste of her own medicine," May said. "This is payback for what she did to Tasara in the past and last night."
"What are you gonna do?" Acegik asked.
"I'm going to send her a text message, but I'm going to use Hakaru's name," May said. "The message is going to say that he wants to break up with her because she is a wimp for losing to Tasara." The others smiled.
"Nice," BP said. "That will teach her a lesson and hurt Hakaru at the same time. I like that."
"Why, thank you!" May said with a smile.
"That sounds a little mean," Sophia said, not looking up from her paper. "Why must you sink down to her level?"
"It's payback," Theo said.
"Eh, I call it 'sweet revenge'," May said, finishing up the text message. She sent it and they looked down at Jackie. "Man, she isn't picking up her cell."
"She'll get it later," BP said. "And when she reads it, she will beat the hack outta Hakaru. Next time we see him, he may be in a cast or a wheelchair. Depends on what she does to him."
"I still say it's a bad idea..." Sophia said with a sigh. The others smiled and sat back in their chairs.
After class...
"Thanks for the help," Jaden said as he and his friends walked down the hallway.
"Damn, you Jaden. Diana practically did your paper for you!" Tasara shouted.
"So...what do you all have planned for tonight?" Zeta asked, trying to change the subject. "Zane and I are going to a movie."
"I asked Diana if she wanted to join me for dinner and walk along the shore by the small town not far from the academy," Bastion said. "And...I still need an answer." Diana's cheeks turned a bright pink and she smiled.
"Okay, I'll go," she said. "Pick me up at seven?"
"Not a minute later," Bastion said. "And dress formally." Diana nodded. Diana and Bastion waved to their friends as they started to walk to the Ra dorms.
"What did you have planned Tasara?" Zeta asked her friend. Tasara shrugged her shoulders.
"I dunno," she said. "I haven't really thought about it." Zane looked over at Chazz who had been silent the whole time. Zane elbowed him and Chazz looked at him. Zane pointed to Tasara who was walking ahead of him, talking to Zeta. Chazz shook his head, but Zane pushed him a little.
"Go on," Zane whispered. Chazz rolled his eyes and poked Tasara on the shoulder. She turned and faced him.
"What?" she asked him.
"Since you don't have anything planned...I was wondering if you would like to...well...go out for dinner with me," Chazz said. "I know this nice restaurant that we can go to." Jaden and Sy, who were right behind Chazz and Zane, started to smile widely as a plan started to unfold. All they needed was Tasara's answer to see if the plan was on.
"...I don't know," Tasara said. Zeta looked at Tasara and then went to whisper something to her.
"Tasara! Go on! I know what you are thinking and you really need to stop this. Do you think Cho would want you to spend tonight on your own in our dorm? Well?" Zeta whispered to her friend. Tasara took a deep breath and looked at Chazz.
"I'll go," Tasara said.
"By the way, it a fancy restaurant which means you must wear a dress," Chazz said. Chazz walked down the next hallway and Tasara looked at Zeta.
"Hey, I didn't know that you would have to wear a dress," Zeta said as she, Zane, and Tasara headed down the next hall. Jaden and Sy ran down to their dorms and, luckily, they saw Theo and May. They ran up to them, Jaden jumping onto Theo's back.
"AH!" Theo shouted. "Who-?"
"Jaden is who you are referring to!" he shouted. He got off of Jaden's back and grinned.
"What are you so happy about?" May asked.
"Phase one of operation: Get as much mushy, kissy, romantic stuff from Chazz and Tasara's date at a fancy restaurant tonight at seven o' clock pm for Valentines day, is a go!" Jaden and Sy said at the same time. May and Theo looked at their friends with blank looks on their faces.
"Chazz? Tasara? Date? Tonight? Seven?" Theo asked. He then smiled and started to laugh. "This has got to mean that the world is either coming to an end OR everyone has gone insane. I'm in."
"What?" Sy asked.
"You are NOT going to do this without me," Theo said. "I've been wanting to get some dirt on those two for months."
"I'm in as well," May said. "I think that they are really cute together and I will be able to prove that after tonight!"
"How are we gonna do this though?" Theo asked. "What restaurant?"
"I heard Chazz making reservations on his cell phone," Sy said. "And the place is called 'Morton's'. I believe it is a great steak house and they also have great fish, but that's besides the point."
"You overheard him making the reservations?" Theo asked. "You guys are good."
"We are the best," Jaden said. "Now, how are gonna do this?"
"'Morton's'?" May asked. "My father has a friend who works there and I can get in for free."
"Really?" Sy asked.
"Yup," May said. "We can all get in, but we are going to have to be undercover. Okay? And I have a perfect idea for it!"
"What is it?" Jaden asked.
"Simple," May said. "Now, the big question; who wants to be the mom and dad?"
"HUH?" the guys asked, a little confused. May smiled and explained the plan to them.
- - - -later that day (evening; 6:44pm) - - - -
"Don't you look nice?" Zeta asked. Since Zeta was going to the movies she didn't have to dress up. She just wore low-rise jeans, a brown belt, and a white, short sleeve, shirt that said 'Hollister' on it in blue and was outlines in brown. Tasara, on the other hand, was in a dress. It was black and long (touching the floor). It had long sleeves that reached her knuckles. On the left side of the dress it was cut up the side and the cut reached up to her mid thigh, showing off her leg. She wore black high heeled shoes, but the heel was not more than an inch. Zeta used a curling iron and curled Tasara's hair.
"I hate dresses," Tasara said, looking in the mirror.
"They aren't that bad," Zeta said. Zeta walked over to her jewelry box, opened it, grabbed a necklace, and walked back over to Tasara. "You can borrow this." She helped Tasara put on a silver chained necklace with a heart locket on it.
"Thanks."
"Thank you, Tasara."
"For what?"
"Opening your heart. I bet Cho is happy for you, even in heaven. He wants you to be happy, Tasara. That was his last wish."
"I know. Well, I better get going." Tasara said, about to head for the door.
"Oh, wait! I got something else for you!" Zeta said. She walked over to the closet, opened it, and walked back over to Tasara with a small, black, silk purse. "To carry your cell phone, wallet, and whatnot." Tasara smiled slightly, placed her cell phone and wallet in it. Zeta smiled and followed her friend out the door.
The group of friends (Zeta, Zane, Diana, Bastion, Tasara, and Chazz) all met at the front of the academy. Zeta and Zane in normal, everyday clothes, Tasara in a dress, and Chazz in a tux. Bastion didn't get all dressy, but wore a white, long sleeve, collared button-down shirt and black pants. Diana wore a black dress that was sleeveless and it ended at her knees. Around her waist was a gold sash.
"Well, let's go," Chazz said as a limo pulled up.
"We're going in a limo?" Tasara asked.
"Chazz Princeton will settle for nothing less than a limo, now come on," Chazz said, as he got into the car. Tasara followed him in and they drove off. The others watch the car leave the academy, their jaws down to the floor.
"A...limo?" Zeta asked. "Well, the guy is rich so a limo does make sense, I guess."
"Yeah," Zane said. "Let's go." Zane, Zeta, Diana, and Bastion, who are not filthy rich, walked to their destinations, having to split from each other about five minutes after leaving the school grounds. Jaden, Sy, May, and Theo got a ride from James, May's fathers friend.
- - - - at the restaurant - - - -
"Name, sir?" asked the man at the front of the restaurant.
"Princeton," Chazz said.
"Do you have a reservation?"
"Yeah." The man looked at the list for reservations and found Chazz's name on the list. He grabbed two menus and led the couple to the booth on the far side of the restaurant.
"Ready?" May asked the others as they walked into the restaurant. May had put her hair up into a bun and was in a white dress. Theo was in a black tux, Sy was in a white tux, and Jaden was in a black dress, blonde wig, and had on pink lip gloss.
"Why do I have to be the mom?" Jaden asked.
"Because if they were to see me they would recognize me right away, Theo is to tall, Sy is to short, and you aren't all the muscular. Plus, it's funny for the rest of us," May said. "You ready, dad?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Theo said. He walked over to Jaden and they interlocked arms. May and Sy were Jaden and Theo's son and daughter for the plan. They were seated by James which was the booth right next to Tasara and Chazz's booth.
"Chazz?" Tasara asked, placing the menu down.
"Yeah?" asked Chazz, not looking up from the menu.
"Uh..well...thank you for inviting me," she said. Chazz closed his menu and looked at Tasara.
"What?"
"Thank you, Chazz, for inviting me to come have dinner with you. It was very...sweet of you to do this for me."
"It was no problem, really," he said. "I just know how much this day meant to you and...well Cho."
"You don't need to worry about Cho."
"Huh?"
"Zeta had talked to me about it, I've been thinking about it, and it is what Cho wants. He wanted me to be happy as his final wish. Each day I continue to think about him which makes me unhappy."
"About time you figured it out."
"Please, don't ruin the moment."
"Sorry. Please continue," Chazz said, taking a sip of his water.
"Anyway, I have decided to stop living in the past and come to the present. It may not be where he is, but it is where I am. I should open up to people here and now. Even though I will miss him."
"You know, Tasara, time does heal wounds," Chazz pointed out.
"Do you know how long I have been waiting for time to heal my wounds?" Tasara asked him. "I've been and still am waiting."
"Well, you need to help yourself as well as time," said Chazz. "You need to open up to others, forget the past, and then time will start to work a little faster. You can't expect time to do all the healing for you. You need to take action as well."
At the other table...
"Well...this conversation of there is golden! Wait 'till the others hear this!" Jaden said, listening to their conversation. On the end of the seat, where Jaden was sitting, was his purse which had a recorder in it.
"The eighth wonder of the world: Tasara Karasumi and Chazz Princeton," Theo said, looking at the menu. "Zeta, Zane, Bastion, and everyone else will really get a kick outta this."
"I'll say," May said. "Hmm...that reminds me; I wonder how the others are doing? Zeta and Zane saw a movie right?"
"Yup," Sy said. "I think they went to go see...huh...what's it called, Theo?"
"'Titanic'," Theo said. "Based on a true story. Has romance for couples, humor for everyone, sadness for those mushy types, some action for men, a great story line, and a well done soundtrack." The others just stared at him.
"What the-?" May said, looking at Theo with raised brows.
"Hey, I looked into it because it looked like a good movie," he said.
"Anyway, and Bastion and Diana went to a café for dinner and then a walk on the beach, right?" Sy asked.
"Uh-huh," Jaden said. "I wonder how their dates are going."
- - - - at the café - - - -
"Do you think Chazz and Tasara killed each other yet?" Diana asked Bastion.
"Hmm...maybe," he said, taking a drink of his root beer.
"I'm worried about them," Diana said. "Tasara had never spent a Valentines day with anyone besides Cho until he died."
"I bet they are just fine," Bastion said. Diana smiled and continued to eat. "Please, for her sake, let them not hurt or kill each other."
- - - - at the movies - - - -
((sorry, but they are not talking about anything for it is a theater, so shush))
- - - - back at the restaurant- - - -
Tasara and Chazz had ordered their meals and were finally eating. They were quiet for a while until Chazz started conversation.
"I'm glad."
"About what?" Tasara asked.
"About you finally looking forward," he said. "I could tell, for that day in the graveyard, that your heart and your head was still stuck in the past. What knocked you back into our time?"
"Just...ya know...thinking about everything."
"..."
"Okay, okay," Tasara said with a slight smile. "It was, well, you. You brought my head out of the past, but my heart still had some trouble following. After a while, I think, it finally caught up. I'm ready to move on." Chazz smiled a little and they continued to eat.
Behind them...
"They are almost done with their meal," Jaden said.
"We've been done for five minutes, Jaden," Theo said. "We should really get the check." Theo stopped their waiter when he walked by and got the check. "Whoa, this place is expensive."
"Why did you think Chazz chose to eat here?" May asked. "The guy is loaded so he will eat at very expensive places! Duh! Here." She handed Theo a credit card.
"You have a credit card?" Jaden asked.
"Yeah," May said. "It's my dads, actually."
"Oh," Sy said. "I see. Then how do you have it?"
"I told him that I was coming here with some friends and he gave me that to pay for it!" chirped May. "But I have to pay him back eventually." The waiter took the check and the credit card to go pay for the meal. Once he came back, the family grabbed their stuff and were about to leave when Jaden bumped into Jaden.
"Oh, sorry," Tasara said. She looked at the odd looking woman.
"Oh, deary, don't worry about it!" said Jaden, trying to imitate woman's voice. "Just move along!"
"Uh...thanks," Chazz said. He and Tasara walked out of the restaurant, only to find that the limo wasn't there yet. They stood in silence for a moment. Jaden, Theo, Sy, and May were hiding behind bushes that lined the front of the restaurant.
"Well, that was a nice dinner," Tasara said, breaking the silence.
"It's a nice place."
"Yeah. This was my first time here. I'm glad that my first time coming here was with you, Chazz."
"Really?"
"Yeah. It was nice." Chazz and Tasara didn't face each other, but then turned their heads to look each other in the eyes. "Why? Why do we fight, Tasara?"
"I fight with you because I don't know what to say exactly. I like you, but it's hard to put into words, Chazz."
"There is another way to say something without using words. Actions are another way of speaking."
"Then let's talk," Tasara said with a smile. Their lips met once Chazz pulled her close. Theo got out his camera and took a few quick shots. They all walked out of the bushes, but Jaden decided to really get into his character.
"Oh, Luke! Doesn't that remind you of how we met?" Jaden said in his woman voice. Chazz and Tasara stopped the kiss and looked at the two, still holding each other close.
"Luke?" Theo thought.
"When you held me close!" Jaden said, giving Theo a hug. Once his head hit Theo's chest the wig fell off. Tasara and Chazz went from calm to furious in no time. Theo tapped Jaden on the shoulder as Chazz and Tasara walked over to them.
"Jaden? JADEN! THEY KNOW!" Sy shouted. Sy and May were about to run the other direction, but bumped into Chazz.
"How did you get over here that fast?" May asked.
"That isn't important. What are you doing here?" Chazz hissed.
"Uuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Sy and May said at the same time. Tasara snatched the purse away from Jaden and looked inside to find the camera and recorder. She tossed the camera to Chazz and held the recorder in her hands. May and Sy watched Chazz open the back of the camera, take out the film, and put it in his pocket. Jaden and Theo saw Tasara snap the recorder in half and then snap the tape in half. Tasara handed the pieces back to them.
"I believe these belong to you, right?"
"Uh-huh," Theo and Jaden said at the same time, their voices trembling.
"Leave. Now," Tasara hissed. Theo and Jaden were quick to comply and ran down the street, Sy and May not far behind. She walked up to Chazz. "If we ever go out again, let's chain those four to a pole before we leave."
"If we go out again?"
"If." The limo pulled up and they both got in to head back to the academy.
- - - - at the academy entrance - - - -
The limo left and once Tasara and Chazz turned they saw Bastion and Diana walking into the school.
"Hey, guys," Tasara said. The two turned and smiled.
"Hi, how was dinner?" Bastion asked.
"Okay," Chazz said. They looked at Bastion and Diana and saw that they were a little wet. "Why are you two all wet?"
"Remember when we said that we were going to walk along the shore after dinner?" Diana asked.
"Yeah," Tasara and Chazz said.
"Well, I tripped over some drift wood and fell into the water. Bastion walked into the water and helped me up, but he tripped over an old rope on the sand. So...yeah...that's why we are all wet," Diana said, he shoes in her arms. Bastion was also holding his shoes in his arms. They turned and saw Zane and Zeta walking up to the school.
"Hi!" Zeta shouted. Diana walked up to her friend.
"You look like you were tearing, Zeta," Diana said, looking at her friend. "Are you alright?"
"I'll tell ya, that movie is sad," Zeta said. "I started to tear and a lot of others started as well. I don't know how Zane does it! He is able to stay calm during sad parts in a movie!" Zane shrugged his shoulders when the others looked at him.
"Okay, Zeta. Maybe he didn't find it all that sad," Bastion said.
"Oh, Zane, you can have your jacket back," Zeta said, about to take the jacket off. When they walked out of the movies, Zeta was a little cold. Zane, being a gentleman, let her wear his jacket. She took it off and handed it to him.
"Thank you," said Zane, taking back his jacket. The group were about to walk back into the school, but once they opened the doors, Theo, Jaden, Sy, and May ran into the school and dashed down the hallway. They separated to get back to their dorms.
"Um...was Jaden in a ...uh...dress?" Zane asked.
"Long story," Tasara and Chazz said. They walked into the school and also separated to go to their dorm rooms.
- - - - in Zeta and Tasara's room - - - -
"He did?" Zeta asked. Zeta and Tasara were both on their cell phones, talking to Diana (three way). "He came in after you?"
"Yeah," Diana said. Diana was in her room, laying in bed.
"That is sooooooooooooooooooooo sweet!" Zeta said. Zeta was sitting on the coach in their room as Tasara sat on her bed, now in her pajamas.
"At least he had the sense to come after you," Tasara said.
"Anyway, how was your date?" Diana asked.
"Eh, nothing special," Tasara lied. It didn't feel right lying to someone like Diana, but she didn't want Diana or Zeta to know about what they said or about the kiss. Zeta would never let Tasara alone if she knew. "The restaurants pretty nice though."
"I heard it was cool," said Zeta. "Well, I'm a little tired, so can we talk about this tomorrow?"
"Yeah," Diana said. "Good night."
"G'night!" Zeta said, hanging up.
"Night," said Tasara. She hung up and got under the covers. Zeta got off of the coach and jumped onto her bed.
"I think this Valentines day was pretty nice," she said, turning the light off.
"Yup. I agree. It was, well...perfect." Tasara turned her light off and the two fell asleep.
A/N; and that ends that! Tasara has finally decided to stop living in the past and come back to the present! That's what Cho really wanted. In the next chapter;
Ella, Maven's dog, has gone missing! As Zeta, Tasara, Maven, and the guys search the school grounds, Diana wonders off near the abandoned dorm! That spells trouble!
