Hi everyone! Thanks for all the reviews; they were really encouraging. I just got back from a family vacation to Vegas…whoohoo, but now I'm back and ready to write (or in this case, rewrite here and there…and REPOST)

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Now for all you Taiora fans- enjoy!

Setting: This is 02 season. Here are the ages:
Sora/Tai/Matt- 15
Mimi/Izzy- 14
Joe- 16
Kari/T.K./Davis/Yolei- 13
Scene: The group has just entered the move theater and they discover a slight problem—
And now, without further ado,
Sleepover Fun: Digi-Destined Style
"Chapter Three: Flirtation before the Film"
"Oh, great!" Yolei exclaimed. "This theater's nearly packed, so there's no way all of us can sit together!"
"That's fine with me," Davis muttered back, "as long as I get to sit by Kari!"
"H-E-L-P!" Kari mouthed to her brother.
"Sorry, Kari," Tai whispered back. "There's no way I could keep him from sitting by you. He's attracted to you like a magnet."
"Don't remind me," Kari sighed depressedly. In surrender, she said, "Okay, come on T.K. and Davis. I see three seats in the back." All three (er-hem, Davis- THIRD WHEEL!) of them trudged off.
"That takes care of those three," Joe noted. "But what about the rest of us?"
"Well, Yolei, Izzy, and Joe," Matt said sneakily. You three can take those seats over on the right side- see? Over there." He gestured to the location. Mimi knew Matt deliberately sent those three away so that Tai and Sora would end up sitting together.
"Well, it's just us left," Mimi said offhandedly. "Matt and I will take those two seats in the middle, and Tai and Sora, you can take those seats in front of ours."
Mimi had purposely made it so that she and Matt could monitor the activities of their friends, who would be directly in front of them. Not that she planned to be watching them the whole time. There would be plenty of time for her and Matt to have a little fun of their own.
"Fine with me," Sora replied indifferently.
"Same here," agreed Tai, secretly happy that he had ended up with Sora. She, likewise, was excited to be paired with Tai, but like Tai, was too proud to show it. The two of them took the seats in front of Mimi and Matt.
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
"Operation Courageous Love is working out even better than expected! They are sooo gonna fall for each other by the end of this party," Mimi whispered to Matt happily.
"We're geniuses, what can I say?" Matt replied, relaxing in his seat as he put his arm around Mimi.
"Ooh! I can't wait until we get Sora to drink the Niagra! That's gonna be hilarious!" Mimi laughed.
"She's gonna be all over Tai, the lucky devil!" Matt exclaimed; he turned to see Mimi's face draw into an angry scowl.
"Wait, I didn't mean it like that! You're the one I love!" Matt apologized quickly.
"Well, as long as it's me that you love, I forgive you," she replied with content, as she gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
While Mimi and Matt discussed the perfection of their plan, Kari, T.K., and Davis, who were taking their seats in the very back, began having slight seating issues-
"Okay, E.T.," Davis said hotly, "how are we going to determine who sits by Kari? Verbal assault? Coin toss? How 'bout a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors—"
"Or," T.K. interrupted good-naturedly, "we could do the gentlemanly thing and let Kari decide who she wants to sit by..."
"Oh, yeah, well, I was just gonna suggest that," Davis lied quickly.
T.K. rolled his eyes. "Well, Kari," he asked smoothly, "moment of truth—which one of us do you want to sit by?"
Please be me! Please pick me! thought the goggle-clad boy openly, while Kari debated who she should sit next to.
I really hope Kari chooses me. Sure, we've been going out for a while, but I don't think we're up to couple status yet. T.K. pondered insecurely.
"Well," Kari began, looking at both of the boys who loved her, "to make you both happy, I'll sit in between both of you."
"But—" she added intently, "if Davis tries anything with me, I'm switching seats with T.K., and vice versa. Got it, boys?"
"Yes, ma'am!" both boys shouted, as if a drill sergeant was instructing them.
Finally, all three of them sank into their seats, just as the theater darkened.
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
About five minutes before the previews began, while Kari, T.K., and Davis were figuring out seating arrangements, Joe, Izzy, and Yolei were having a heated debate concerning whether or not Star Wars was really possible. (Actually, only Izzy and Yolei were arguing; Joe was acting as mediator.)
"You're totally wrong Izzy!" Yolei shouted noisily, causing quite a few people to stare in her direction. "There's no way Star Wars could have happened. Don't you understand the beginning— 'A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away'? That refers to the past tense. How on Earth could any alien race perfect that kind of technology in the past when humans can't even travel to Mars yet? It's not scientifically possible! Also—"
"I'm sorry to interrupt you, Yolei," interjected Joe, "but your time is up. Izzy, it's your time to argue against this reasoning."
"All right, Yolei," Izzy countered calmly, "you're neglecting a major argument. Yes, I understand the beginning— 'A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.' But I stress the 'in a galaxy far, far away' aspect. This implies that their home galaxy could be so far away that they haven't even reached the Milky Way galaxy yet."
"Thank you for that point, Izzy. Any additional counterattacks, Yolei?" Joe said calmly.
Yolei bit her lip. What else can I say? We're both right, in some respects. I can't believe how smart Izzy is! He's so cute when he debates; I wish he still didn't like Mimi! For the first time, Yolei, who idolized Mimi, felt pangs of jealousy towards her.
Yolei finally answered Joe's question. "Well, Joe," she replied, "since we both made clever arguments, I say we declare this debate a draw."
Meanwhile, Izzy was thinking, Wow, Yolei is exceptionally good at debating. Well, I hypothesized that from the moment I saw her arguing with Davis. She is nothing like Mimi, and I wonder, could it possibly be that my infatuation with Mimi has somewhat diminished ever since I became closer to Yolei? I have come to a new realization; my relationship with Mimi in the past was nothing more than friendship. I hypothesize that it is actually Yolei who holds the key to my heart—
"Do you agree to this draw, Izzy?" Joe asked, penetrating through Izzy's thoughts.
"Wha— oh, yes, a draw sounds like a prodigious idea." he replied. Then Izzy turned to Yolei, "Yolei, my worthy opponent, till we meet again in heated battle!" He proceeded to kiss her on the hand.
Yolei was a bit surprised by Izzy's gallantry, not that she didn't enjoy it. "Izzy, you're so medieval-ish! How cute!" she exclaimed happily.
Izzy's face just flushed with satisfaction.
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
During the time Yolei, Izzy, and Joe were having their scientific debate, Sora and Tai were once again flirting, but this time, more obviously.
"So, Sora, tell me...what kind of things do you look for in a guy?" Tai tried to ask offhandedly as possible. Of course, what he was trying to do was see if Sora shared the same feelings for him as he did for her.
However, Sora wasn't gonna be fooled that easily.
"Why do you ask?" she replied, with a bit of suspicion in her voice.
"Oh, no reason in particular. I was just wondering..."
"Well, in that case," Sora, paused for a moment, then decided to have a little fun with Tai, because of his sneakiness. She continued, "I want a guy that's a rebel, with blond hair and blue eyes, maybe he could even be in a band or something..."
Sora watched as Tai's eyes bugged out to be as big as saucers; she smiled with satisfaction as she realized her little plan worked perfectly.
"Is that all you want in a guy!" Tai half-shouted, in total shock.
"On the other hand...," Sora answered nonchalantly, as she glanced over and saw a glimmer of hope in Tai's eyes. "I always seem to fall for the kind of guy that's a great athlete, you know, tall, with a great tan, and the sweetest chocolate-colored eyes. He'd have the wildest hair, too. Maybe he would play basketball, or soccer..."
Sora glanced over at Tai and smirked as she witnessed him breathe a huge sigh of relief.
I've still got her. No way she could like Matt, she'd never betray Mimi. he thought optimistically.
Sora turned the tables on him by saying, "Well, I told you what I want in a guy, so now you have to tell me what you look for in a girl!"
"No, I don't! Where's the rule that says I have to?" he replied teasingly.
"Oh, there's a rule that clearly states in Section F, Article 4.6 in the Friendship Rulebook, 'Any question asked by one party and answered truthfully by the second party can be asked by the second party and the first party must answer or suffer dire consequences," Sora rambled on.
Tai's eyes bugged out again. "Wha—?" he exclaimed as his jaw dropped. He closed his mouth and said, "Sora, stop! You're beginning to sound like Izzy!"
"Well, Izzy's smart, so I'll take that as a compliment," she shot back. "But, if I hadn't, you know you'd be dead by now, right?"
"Yeah, I don't doubt that," he said, remembering several occasions where Sora had beat up anyone that really pissed her off.
"So hurry up and tell me what you look for in a girl before I really do kill ya dead," she threatened, waiting for a response.
"Fine, fine!" Tai threw up his hands in surrender. He thought for a moment. I'll have some fun with her.
"Well," he began, "I want a girl who looks like a model, with a hot body and wild-colored hair, maybe dyed blue or pink..." Tai saw Sora's face draw into a jealous expression.
"Oh, really?" she questioned, with a hint of anger in her voice.
"But you know," Tai continued, "I also love those girl-next-door types, you know, with auburn-colored hair and crimson flames for eyes. She'd have to be great at sports to get with me, maybe she would play soccer, or tennis..."
Sora's expression of anger turned to pleasure. "Now that's more like it. I knew you had the hots for me." she replied confidently.
"You're dreamin', Tackenouchi," he said thoughtlessly.
"Oh, am I?" Sora asked coolly. "Then why are you so eager to see me in my half-naked in my pajamas?"
"Cuz you've got a hot body!" Tai exclaimed, as if the reason was totally obvious. "Soccer and tennis have done your body good, Sora! Besides," he added assertively, "you want to see me half-naked too—in my boxers!"
"So what if I do?" she replied. "I just want to see if you've got any muscle under that shirt, or if you're just skin and bones!"
"See for yourself right now!" Tai exclaimed as he lifted his shirt up.
Sora gasped at his daring and because of what she saw. His tan frame held a killer six pack.
Wow! she thought admiringly. All this time, skinny ole' Tai's been holding out on me!
"Well?" Tai asked expectantly. He put his shirt down, and finally, Sora tore her eyes away from his abs.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, you look pretty good…" she answered.
"That's not what I meant," he said.
"What did you mean?"
"Lift up your shirt!" Tai explained. "It's only fair!"
Sora's eyes grew wide. "Tai!" She lifted her hand to smack him upside the head but he blocked her attack.
"Wh-oa! Chill, Sora, I was just kidding! But still...it'd be nice to see what's under there..."
Tai said distractedly, picturing the thought in his head.
"Tai Kamiya! You get that image out of your head right now!" Sora exclaimed.
"Come on, Sora," Tai said sweetly. "You're not really mad, are you?"
"Of course not," she answered just as easily. "How could I stay angry with a friend as cute as you?"
Tai felt himself blush, so he flirtingly winked at Sora. She began to blush as well.
Just then the lights dimmed, and the previews began.
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
For those of you who have already read this story, I cut this chapter into two parts because it seemed a little long…plus I'm planning to add some rewrites to the next part—maybe a little more action between Matt and Mimi (heehee, who knows?)
Anyhoo, hope you guys are having a stupendous summer! And as always, please read and review!
