Tai: Yea well, this story is about one chapter away from the end. I had a bit of writers block and decided I'd better finish this story sometime. My name has changed, mainly thanks to my new character Tai for my FMA story. Anyway major twist in the story in this chapter.
Disclaimer: You recognise, me no own.
Tala opened his eyes and looked at the ghost standing in front of him. "Tori, is it really you?" he whispered, reaching a hand towards her. She closed her eyes as Tala's hand went through hers, and he jerked back suddenly. "Why, how, I don't get it… how can you be here? I mean, as much as any of us hate to admit it, you're supposed to be dead." He stuttered.
"Oh and the fact you can put your hand through me doesn't register?" she asked, sounding fairly annoyed. "I am dead moron, now if one of you would just tell me where Kai was, I'd leave and stop putting jelly in your beds." Robert looked at her, "That was you?" he questioned, rather shocked. "I thought it was just Johnny being immature again." Tori rolled her eyes and moved over to a corner of the room. "So, Kai's not with you yet?" Bryan asked, "I thought he would've met up with you straight away." "Uh huh, and Tala's dating Trisha." She replied sarcastically.
"Ah, you mean she's not dating him?" Johnny enquired regaining consciousness, his eyes going wide. "No, I just said that to be a pain in the ass. Now shut up and watch." She instructed sarcastically, pointing to a space near Tala where the air had gone kind of…wavy. (A/N: You think of another way to describe it.) Tala turned with the other boys and watched the space Tori had pointed to. The air seemed to be getting denser and coloured, which was kind of odd considering it was empty space. "What the hell is going on?" Johnny asked, a little freaked out. Trisha had also woken up and slapped him around the head. "Shut up moron." She hissed, her eyes not leaving the same spot.
Tala's eyes went wide when he realised what exactly was happening. As the air and colours began to take a form, one by one they realised that it wasn't a what, but rather a who. "Kai?" Tala questioned, his voice barely audible. The figure's form finally steadied, and ghostly crimson eyes opened, looking around the room. Spotting Tala, a smile grew on his lips. "Tala, you came." He said softly. Everyone gawked at the ghost, the voice didn't sound right coming from his mouth. It was much softer than the harsh, gravely voice they were used to.
"I'm sorry Tala, but that memory still haunts me, I know I shouldn't have done it, but I couldn't help it. Please forgive." Kai's voice was so quiet and sad, that Tyson had trouble keeping his emotions in check. Tala looked at him, eyes glistening "I don't blame you for doing this Kai," he replied softly, "I can forgive you, but I still need to know why, why did her dying effect you so much?" "I am still here you know." Tori growled, a little pissed off. "And you do realise that you've kinda mucked up what you said at story time."
"Hey, she's right." Oliver agreed. "You said it effected him so much because even thought they were little they loved one another, but something tells me that's not true." Tori looked at Oliver fondly. "At least someone in this room has a brain. Now take into account what I said before and what those two just said. You'll get your answer as to what's a little crooked so to speak." Tori pointed to Kai and Tala. Everyone stood looking at Oliver for a few minutes and watched, as Oliver's eyes grew very wide. "No way," he yelled, "you don't mean that-" "Think about it, makes perfect sense no?" Tori interrupted, smiling.
"Oliver, what is it?" Ray asked, speaking up for the first time. "Kai's…" Oliver stuttered, "Kai's not, he cant be, do you know how many people will be after you about this?" he asked, looking at Tala. "Come on Oliver, tell us!" pleaded Max.
"I think Oliver's brain fizzled, so why don't I give you a little hint. Tala's not dating Trisha, and Kai was never interested in me." Tori started. "And Kai just apologise to Tala for killing himself, now ask yourselves why would he do that and you get your answer." Everyone sat, thinking hard about what Tori had told them. Suddenly the little hamster that runs round and round in Max's head started moving and his eyes lit up. "Ooh there we go, see its not that hard to figure out, Max has it already." Tori smiled. "Can I tell them?" Max asked, starting to bounce. "Please?" "If they don't figure it out within the next five minutes you can." Tori replied, sitting on the floor.
Meanwhile on the other side of the room with Kai and Tala, it seemed they were deep in discussion. "Come on Kai, tell me. I thought you trusted me." Tala whined (wow, sounds like a girl ne?). Kai shook his head "If I tell you now, the rest of them will figure out what Tori's hinting at." He sighed.
"Time's up boys, anyone know what Tala didn't tell you at story time?" Tori asked, standing up again. Max and Oliver's hands shot into the air. "Okay… anyone else?" she asked, looking the group over. A light bulb started working in Ray's head and he shot up. "I can't believe I didn't notice, I shared a bed with him for crying out loud." He yelled, horrified. "It explains a lot but still, I can't believe I had to share a bed with that prick!" Bryan, Spencer and Ian looked at him. "What could be so important Tala wouldn't tell us about…Oh." Bryan stated, realising the same thing Ray had. Spencer and Ian looked over at Kai and Tala, and it dawned on them as well.
"So, anybody not know what the big story time secret is?" Tori asked, getting impatient. "I have a spirit to escort so lets just this over with. Max, you can tell them now." Max's eyes went wide and he stood up. He cleared his throat and yelled at the top of his lungs "KAI AND TALA ARE GAY!"
Tai: Didn't see that coming did ya? And isn't Maxie just a smart little guy? He was thinking of something extremely simple and thats all it was. Anyway review and I'll put the next chapter up next week when I update my story Dreams.
