Chapter 6 Unraveling
"I have to go Pee!" Davis agonized out.
Ken looked up at Davis and shook his head in disbelief.
"Davis." He sighed out, "This will be the fourth restroom stop for you from this five minutes we have been on imperialdramon. You're just going to have to hold it because we are literally 7 seconds away from our destination."
"But I have to go now!" Davis whined out as he jumped up and down in place.
Everyone chuckled as Davis ran around the place.
"Wow this is amazing Izzy; me accompanying you on your adventure with digimon. Your not facing anything dangerous are you?" Mrs. Izumi clung onto Izzy's shoulder and began to tear up.
"Mom, calm down. It's a bit of danger but no it has nothing to do with evil digimon trying to take over earth or the digi world. This is a whole new chapter of danger on a different level." He sighed out anxiously.
"What? What do you mean some danger Izzy? You promised to stay in one piece and no digi danger?!" She yelled out
Everyone looked perplexed at Izzy
"Mom. It has nothing to do with digi danger I promise you. I just can't promise I'll be safe because there is no telling if I will be. I am referring to the danger of being away from you and going off on my own to college. And Sora's courageous impulse to get Tai!"
His mother took a sigh of relief,
"Oh yes, any normal mother would be thinking of that first. But I always worry about something happening and you have to leave to the digi world and risk your life that I forgot the normal things that would wisp you away. It is happening now. My Izzy will be off in the world without me. Oh do try and be safe." She smiled and looked up at him because he had sprung out this fall he was now 5'11.
"I am so very proud of you." She began to tear up again.
"Awe mom, this should be really weird doing this in front of my friends but you do it so often that I got used to it already." He chuckled, "I love you too." He then bent slightly over and wrapped his arms around her.
Sora walked up to the both of them and placed her hand on Izzy's arm and Mrs. Izumi's shoulder.
"I know exactly how you guys feel. Before our biggest troubles used to be to get good grades and stay keep the world and digital world safe from evil but now we are trying to make it on our own feet without belly flopping it. You'd think risking our lives and facing scary monsters would be more frightening then college and letting others how you really feel but I am more nervous and afraid now then any other time. But don't worry Mr. Izumi Izzy and I have people we know out here and each other we'll be okay. "
Izzy let go of his mom and stood up straight,
"Yeah I know Sora it is still nerve reeking though. You have lived college life at a community college in Japan. This will be my first year in college."
Sora Smiled At Izzy and put her head onto his arm,
"Izzy we'll do okay. It is my first year living at a dorm and far away from home."
They both sighed out nervously together. But then shook their heads.
"We are in this together he breathed out."
Sora bit her lip and nodded at him with a slight smile.
Ken glanced away from Sora and Izzy and looked at Yolie,
"Aren't you glad we don't have to deal with this until next year."
Yolie laughed slightly,
"Yeah a big relief." She replied rubbing her gray and pink sweater.
Izzy scrunched h is nose at Ken and replied sarcastically,
"Ken you could have skipped a grade like I did and be in the same predicament."
Ken laughed out loud,
"Yeah well could of but chose not to."
Then all of a sudden they heard a sudden thud that made everyone turn their heads to the left.
"Hello!" Davis yelled jumping up and down on land off of imperialdramon . "Sorry to break this happy camp moment but we have landed and uh I have to go bathroom really bad!"
Everyone turned their heads back and forth and saw they indeed did land. It was a quiet place with no one around. It was cold and a lot of snow around. Imperiadramon landed in a secluded place sot hey could remain secluded.
Imperialdramon lifted down a ladder like elevator so they could all get down. Mrs. Izumi was hanging onto a bag full of food and drinks.
"Hey!" Davis yelled out. "Imperialdramon why did you make me jump off!"
Imperialdramon chuckled out,
"Because you didn't wait for us to react." Davis tightened his fist into a ball. He then raised up his left hand with a soda bottle in it. He chugged down the remainder of the contents of it and put the empty bottle into a bag that had two other empty American bottles.
"Davis!" Yolie yelled out annoyed. Her teeth were showing. Look very similar when a dog growls when they are mad. "It's no wonder why you have go pee so badly! Look at all that soda you've drank! What on earth were you thinking drinking all of that?! Use your common sense!" She then crackled out a sarcastic comment, "Wait you don't have that."
Davis threw the bag at her and pointed his index finger at her.
"I do so!." He barked out.
Yolie death glared Davis and held onto the bag with bottles,
"If I wasn't so into the environment I'd chuck this right back at you!" she shook her fist at him.
"Oh I am so scared!" Davis remarked back to her completely mocking her.
"UGH!" Yolie screamed out.
"Mom did you pack soda?" Izzy asked.
"No." She replied meekly, " I made food and brought juice and ice tea."
"I had grabbed the sodas at our first stop we made at the gas station." Davis replied out.
"Davis!" They all yelled out in unison.
Imperialdramon transformed back into wormon and vee-mon.
"Thanks you guys." Ken replied back to them.
"No problem. Anything for you guys!" They bother remarked back.
"Remember." Ken told them as he bent over to his knees to be in eye contact with them.
"Stay in the cabin today. We'll have Mrs. Izumi watch you guys with Yolie since she doesn't want to be at the party. Behave the both of you."
They both nodded okay and stiffened as Ken replied out,
"you all know the drill."
Vee-mon looked over at Davis and yelled,
"Before I go to the drill I saw a bathroom for you straight ahead. We parked ourselves close by the cabin you guys rented out."
Davis clapped his hands thrilled and gave Vee-mon the thumbs up,
"Thanks buddy!" He then ran off to the cabin so he could relieve himself.
Ken chuckled out,
"Wow I never seen him move so fast. He moved like that on the soccer field he may actually be able to run by my side." He laughed out.
Ken reached over and picked up wormon like a doll. Sora reached over to vee-mon and picked him up like her were a doll as well. They all walked slowly warping their hands around their arms to keep warm over to the cabin Davis ran to.
"look mommy!" A little girl with pig tails came out of a green car next to the cabin beside theirs.
"Those stuffed animals are rather strange. I like them they are cool."
The mother looked up at them and smiled,
"They are strange. Must be a teenager thing sweetie." The little girl tilted her head and smiled at them. She then skipped into the cabin that their car was next to.
Back to T.k. and Matt
Matt and T.k. threw spit balls at each other as their dad was driving with the music up.
"Boys nock it off! We are here now! Stop with the inventive games!"
T.k. leaned his head out the window and snow fell onto his head.
"Wow! Where are we staying dad?"
"Hopefully somewhere with phone reception and an outlet." Matt replied out.
T.k.'s dad parked the car into the hotel suite and stopped abruptly as a man knocked on his window,
"Hello Mr. Balton. Your wife is waiting for and your sons."
"Oh thank you Greg." Their dad replied back.
He then drove up further and parked into a lot.
"And yes Matt there is warm water, outlets and cell phone reception. We have a hotel room for a couple of hours. We are sleeping in a cabin not too far away."
Matt nodded his head in approval.
"Now that I can live with." He then grabbed a big suitcase.
"Matt why did you pack so much it's only for a day." His father asked confused.
"Dad, This is a snowy atmosphere therefore I brought along every hair product I own and several outfits just in case I got this one dirty or I changed my mind on wearing it."
T.k. and his dad looked at each other blankly and began to laugh.
"Wow Matt I think you are worse then mom when it comes to packing. You have like fifty outfits in there." He laughed out.
Matt's dad then chimmed in.
"I would think it would be T.k. to act the way you do Matt. I mean he was the one that lived with your mother longest." He laughed out.
Matt rolled his eyes at them and stuck his palm up at them to be quiet.
"Whatever. I know I look good." He replied out, "Maybe if you two did a bit more about your looks you could score some in bed." He pointed to his dad and then he pointed at T.k. "And you would have a girlfriend or a date." He then carried his bag out of the car and out onto the pavement with snow.
T.k. rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Touchy." He then pulled on his back pack and black suit cover in his hand.
Matt set down his suitcase and waited for T.k. to set his feet out of the parking lot and onto the snow. And as soon as T.k. did he threw a snowball at him and tackled him to the floor.
"Hey!" T.k. yelled out.
They began to snowball fight and Matt shoved snow down T.k.'s pants.
"That's below the belt! It's freezing!" He yelled out.
T.k. just grinned at a thought he came up with and took it to action. He grabbed a handful of snow and smashed it into Matt's hair.
"Not the hair!" Matt yelled out, "Great now I have to fix it up."
"Boys!" T.k.'s dad yelled out.
"Coming!" They both yelled out picking up their belongings
Matt zipped up his black Eskimo jacket with gray fake fur, lifted his suitcase once again and walked with T.k. and his dad into the hotel. Matt walked beside T.k. and said in a low voice,
"The snow in your pants thing was my payback to you. Enjoy the frost bite." He chuckled out.
"Ha, ha very funny Matt." T.k. replied out sardonically.
Matt's dad vanished for a moment but then came back with a set of two keys in his hand.
"T.k. you are sharing a room with your brother in room 14."
"Alright! Awesome that is my jersey number!" T.k. replied happily. Matt rolled his eyes and snatched the room key out of his hand,
"Great. Let's go to our room so I Can retouch my hair and possibly pick out a new outfit."
T.k. snickered, "Yeah cuz your hair is a total mess with all that snow in it."
T.k. and Matt raced up the stairs pushing each other to get a head start.
"Boys be down in 10 minutes. I'll be in the dining hall with your mother helping her!"
"Sure, sure whatever you say dad!" Matt grinned out.
"I mean it Yamato!" His father grinned at him.
Matt looked appalled and froze for a second and glanced around the room frantically, "Dad!" He shouted ot and gritted his teeth together and eyes bulged out, "I told you not in public!" T.k. chuckled at him and took the opportunity by pushing Matt to the wall and taking off.
"See you in the room!" T.k. shouted out.
"Not if you don't have the keys!" Matt shouted back staring at T.k. running towards the door. He then smiled and dangled his empty hand in the air.
"Think again!" T.k. chuckled as his shoes squeaked from the clean creamed floors.
Matt looked at his hand and just realized he no longer had the key, "what the?" Matt asked baffled.
T.k. showed that he had the key and put the key into the ivory door and flung it open, "You got to get your head in the game!" T.k. belled out, "And be quick with me." Matt snarled out and walked as fast as his tight pants would take him.
Matt's dad smiled out proudly, "That is my basketball champ. And my stylish good looking kid." He smiled warmly,
"Balton?!" Matt's mom was heard in the dinning hall. She poked her head out and saw him standing in the hall way. "I thought that was you. Come in and help me dear."
"Yes coming dear!" Matt's father rushed to the dinning hall nearly slipping with his dressy shoes. You could tell he wasn't really used to wearing them daily.
Matt reached the room and walked over to the second mattress and set his suitcase on there.
"We got a great view." He relied out. T.k. was in the closet hanging up his suit. cover
"Yeah I know. Hey aren't you going to call Tai to meet up with him? I texted him letting him know we were here."
Matt opened his suit case and took out his blow dryer flat iron, hair spray, and some solution for his hair. "Yeah I'll give him a call as soon as I fix this mess you made."
T.k. shook his head, "Matt it's not even bad, the ice melted now. Are you some kind of surgent for hair? He smiled and laughed at once.
Matt carried all the things to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. "Wow my hair is so wonderful to me. It is still mostly in tacked. I don't need the blow dryer. This is manageable." He smiled happily.
Matt then turned on his flat iron and put the solution onto his hair that he thought could use the fixing up.
"Matt?" T.k. replied out. "Is Kari going to be here as well ?" He asked casually.
"Nope don't think so little bro." Matt lied but sounded convincing. " Sorry you won't see your girlfriend today but she isn't coming along she had somewhere to go today. It is just Tai and his parents."
"She is not my girlfriend! I was just excited to see her because I haven't seen her in a couple of years. She was my best friend." T.k. was slightly blushing.
"Uh huh right. Whatever you say T.k." He joked out.
T.k. phone vibrated with a text message,
"Alright!!!" T.k. yelled out excitedly.
Oh crap Tai had not better blown my cover and told T.k. Kari was here. Perhaps I should have warned him not to say anything. Matt thought to himself.
"What little bro?" Matt asked
"Dad found the basketball courtroom. We are going to have a one on one for a bit."
"Don't you ever get tired of being Mr. Basketball guy?"
"No of course not I love basketball." T.k. smiled as her drew on his practice jersey and shorts.
Matt poked his out and looked at T.k. "Unbelievable. I can't believe you came prepared and brought that with you." Matt sighed out.
"And I can't believe you have so much hair product." T.k. chimed out.
Matt laughed out, "Hey I look good all the time what do you have to offer?" Matt asked putting his hands on his hip and the other hand was on his hair fluffing it up.
T.k. lifted up his shirt and smiled wide. "This." T.k. revealed a nice toned six back.
"Okay you got me there." Matt replied out shocked.
T.k. snickered out and smiled. Hey I have to compensate that I don't have the hair.
Matt pursed his lip and nodded yes, "Can't argue with that. But your hair is second no third best well maybe now second best since Tai's hair was hacked." Matt replied.
"Thank Matt that is nice of you to say. Hey do me a favor."
Matt went back into the bathroom to finish up his hair, "Depends what it is."
"I am going to help mom right now. But dad and I are going to sneak off into the basketball room. So um can you distract her for a bit?" T.k. asked nervously.
"Uh sure little bro but as soon as she catches on I am spilling where the two of you are. Once she starts the stair and crazy eye I crack." Matt laughed out.
"Okay that's fine." T.k. replied.
T.k. then put his regular clothes on top of his basketball outfit and put his cell phone into his jean pocket. "Okay Matt I'll see in the dining hall in a bit. Don't take a century now." T.k. yelled out.
"Sure, sure almost done here. Lates." Matt yelled back
Next scene
Tai parked his car at the hotel parking lot and shut the car off and turned to Kari.
"are you sure my hair looks okay? I mean I don't look appalling or stupid?" He asked very self-consciously.
"Yes Tai for the millionth and one time you look handsome. You just need to get used to it. Eat your milk shake! Enjoy my treat." She giggled out.
Tai half grinned at her, "Yeah cuz milkshakes are awesome in cold weather."
Kari smiled lightly, "Milkshakes are so good it doesn't matter the weather."
Tai looked around the area and replied, "Very true. The sun is setting we should get inside and get ready."
Kari and Tai locked arms and began to run towards the luxury hotel.
Tai cleared his throat and stopped running. Kari on the other hand kept running and sent the both of them tumbling to the snow.
" Now, now." Tai said in a very deep voice. He then pointed his pinky out and took a pog from his pocket and placed it on one of his eyes and squinted it so it would stay in place, "Kari were in a fine, quant luxurious place we must now remember to mind our manners, eat snails and act like obnoxious snobs. We will never see these richy place again so lets imprint upon it."
Kari giggled as Tai mimicked some of their dad's co workers.
"Oh Tai. Stop you're too much."
Tai got up fromt eh snow and helped Kari to her feet. She hopped onto his back and laughed out loud.
"Yeah! Head to that four story hotel. I got to hand it to them though Tai the decorations are lovely and did you see the huge tree in there?"
Tai bounced a bit as he carried Kari on his back,
"Sure did. Wonder if they had some kind of lumber jack working forces with them."
They both laughed together and went inside the hotel.
The hotel workers didn't even take a second glance at them they were all wondering around like chickens with their heads cut off organizing the placements.
"Busy day huh?" Tai sighed out, "What hotel room did mom and dad give us?" Tai asked.
"I think they gave you room 17 and I am room 18."
"Oh how quaint." Tai joked out, "We are next door to echo the just like at home." He laughed out.
Tai lightly set Kari off his back and onto her feet.
"Hum." Tai sighed out as he slide on the polished floor, "Holy!" shouted, "Why did they mop and glow so soon?" Tai asked jokingly.
Kari slid slickly across the floor, "Look Tai I found our rooms!" She pointed right across from them.
"Awesome." Tai stride across the floor and put his hands into his pocket.
"You have your key right?" He asked.
Kari nodded her head yes but then pouted, "Tai can I stay in your room for a bit? I don't want to get ready for the party yet. I want to just read."
Tai nodded his head, "Sure suit yourself Kari."
Kari hugged him from behind and hopped into his room as he opened it. She jumped onto his bed. "Ah you got a king size bed you punk." She laughed.
"Hey! You know I sleep crazy. A bed with no bars I'll fly off."
Kari giggled, "Yeah you should of stuck to the crib."
Tai shook his head at her, "Very funny." He then looked into his pocket again and pulled out his cell phone blackberry.
"What are you up to?" he text Matt.
As he was about to set his cell phone at the edge of his bed his phone rang out.
Tai raised his hand back up and read the text to himself.
"Wow that was fast." Tai said stunned.
"I am here man. I am just making a last minute change of outfit and I should be done with getting ready. I still need to help my mom with setting up and meet and greet a couple of her friends. I'll meet you up in about 45 minutes. I have to arrange my revenge plan on T.k. he totally has his guard down. Muahhaha."
"poor T.k." Tai sighed out as he finished reading the last part of the text.
As Tai mentioned his name Kari's ears perked up and her mouth dropped a bit. She set her book down gently and waited for Tai to lookup at her.
"Alright Man sounds good. I'll get ready now then. My hair is done; I don't have much to do since my hair is already done. When you see me you have to be honest and tell me what you think of it and how to fix it. Poor T.k. don't be too harsh man."
Tai looked up at Kari and smiled, "Oh my your book is down?"
"Tai did i." Before she could finish her sentence Tai's phone rang.
She then bit her lip, "Let me guess Matt?"
"yeah! How did you know?" Tai asked amazed.
"Because for starters you have your happy sinister smile on. That's the look when you are talking to your best friend and two he is the one that replies every five seconds. He has speed of light texting fingers." She giggled out.
"Yeah well he does play guitar and has a sidekick phone so guess that is why he is so fast."
Tai opened up his phone and read,
"Yup poor kid should never have messed with Matt. He has to see the consequences. I am just going to publicly humiliate him. I'll tell you about my brilliant scheme as soon as I set it up. Btw Kari and him should see each other. He was asking about her. But do not say anything to him that she is here! I lied to him and said she wasn't it is all part of my plan. Maybe you shouldn't tell her because well she may get in the way of it. See you in a few minutes man. Got to go."
Tai shook his head, "that guy is evil. Never ever get in his way or piss him off that is for sure. But yeah for sure they should talk. I won't say anything I know better then to get in the way of your plans. I just feel bad for T.k. Hahaha. I wonder if they still like each other. See you later speed of light fingers (Kari said that about your texting)"
Tai looked at the side of the royal blue bed were Kari was at but she no longer was there. He glanced around the room until he looked down and she was laying on her stomach, had her head resting on palms and she was kicking her feet slightly.
"Yes Kari?" Tai asked
"Oh nothing I just heard you mention T.k. How is he? Is he going to be here?"
Tai didn't like lying to his little sister but he couldn't tell her the exact truth.
"He is doing well for now. Matt has some plans for him but I don't think he'll be around the party. He always practices basketball with his father. Why don't you have his cell phone?"
Kari shrugged her shoulders, "Oh because he had changed his number but I never had a way to ask for it because he hardly goes on aim. Guess that is due to basketball. I tired finding him on myspace but nothing."
Tai snickered at his little sister and placed his hand over her head and rubbed it and made her hair messy.
"You could have just asked me for it. I could give it to you."
Kari smiled at him, "Yeah I know but after a while I thought he might of gotten to cool for me. I hear he is an all star basketball player and I am just a book worm."
Tai sat beside Kari,
"You are much more then that Kari." Tai sighed out.
Just the they heard a knock on the Door.
"Tai are you in there? I have been trying to get a hold of you and Kari but nobody is answering."
"Yeah Mom I am in here." Tai glanced at Kari who gave hand signals of slitting her throat and weaving her arms no.
"Kari went out for some fresh air. She liked to read outside you know. I'll get her in here if you want."
Tai's mom then knocked on the door again, "Well aren't you going to let your mother in?"
Tai motioned for Kari to go in the shower. Kari tip toed into the bath room and Tai shut the door behind her.
Tai poked his head out and looked at his mom.
"Oh Tai you look so handsome!"
Tai looked confused for a moment and then looked very upset,
"Hey that is right! I have a bone to pick with you! How dare you pay someone to do your evil bidding! That was just wrong of you to have my hair cut so short."
"But Tai you look so handsome. I could actually see your face."
Tai folded his arms over his chest and huffed out a breath of frustration,
"Whatever lady the damaged you have caused is scaring. I will never forgive you. I am mad at you for the day! I hope it eats you up at night." Tai said exaggeratingly.
"Oh Tai stop it. Fie be mad at me for the day. You'll end up thanking me later."
Tai snarled at her, " You are just mad because my hair was silkier then yours. And I didn't have split ends and dried up hair like yours." Tai pointed out.
His mother's mouth dropped. She grabbed her hair and rubbed it into her hands, "MY hair is not that mad!" She replied out,
"Yeah well it wasn't anything compared to mine. Did you call your friend to have her save my hair so you could make extensions out of it and you could wear it as a weave?"
Kari cupped her hands over her mouth so she wouldn't be heard laughing.
"Tai stop it already. If you are so upset don't come to the adult party you can join yours sister at the kids/teen party."
Tai folded his arms, "Maybe I will then at least the kids and teens don't get my hair hacked off." He said annoyed.
"Ugh! Tai fine do what you want. You do know that Matt is going to the adult party right? And there will be unexpected company there to. I really think you should dress to your best and be there if I were you. Take my advice. If you have a bad time I'll give you 400 bucks."
Tai smiled broadly. "Deal." He then put his hand out so his mom would shake on it.
"Okay good." She smiled. "It is 7:00 the party starts at 8:00 be there on time Mr."
Tai nodded his head okay. His mother then walked off.
Tai shut the door behind himself and knocked on the bathroom door, "Kari don't come out I am going to change."
"Well that was quiet a wager. You have great guilt trip skills." Kari laughed behind the door.
"Yup." He replied, " I think I will wear my black vest and light gray rolled up sleeve shirt and pants.
"Yeah that sounds good." Kari replied out. "Let me know when I can come out."
"Will do."
Tai then took off his clothes and put them on his outfit he chose. He sprayed on some cologne and looked at the mirror in front of him.
"My hair is straight and washed. Nothing more I can do with it." Tai replied out.
"Okay you can come out now." Tai yelled out.
Kari turned the knob of the door until her phone rang.
"Hello she replied, "Oh hi mom." She said lightly. "Yeah I am out walking and reading at the park like walk way." She paused for a couple of seconds. "Mom I am wearing a purple sweat outfit, mittens, a scarf and snow boots. I won't get sick but I'll come inside if you want." She sighed out, "Okay fine bye."
She stepped out of the bathroom and folded her arms,
"I better go before Mom goes out looking for me."
Kari opened Tai's door and turned to face him. "Bye Tai. I'll see you in a bit." She hugged him goodbye and turned to her feet. As Tai was about to close his door he got a text message,
"For sure I'll be honet. It is all set up. Meet me in the hallway with the statue thing.. and oh my fingers are golden they are great with guitars, texting and other things if you know what I mean." He joked
Ah sick. Tai thought to himself.
"Too much info man. I'll be on my way."
Tai went back into his room to get his keys and wallet. He took one last glance in the mirror and walked out of the room locking the door behind himself.
Matt's plan
Matt strolls into the big event room that was meant for the teen and kids party. There were people setting up the music, karaoke, and games.
Matt surveyed the room and pointed his finger up at the stage.
"Hey Ben!" A guy with dark brown hair and honey brown eyes looked behind him, "Hey Matt! What is up man?"
"Oh not too much Ben just. Well I remember you said you worked at this hotel and well I have a favor to ask." Matt walked closer up the stage and right in front of Ben,
"Yeah what is it man? Name it. If you want your band to play here then that is a defiant yes. You guys rock."
Matt shook his head no,
"Here's a deal." Matt put his hand over his mouth, " I'll give you ten bucks and whatever else you want if you make a certain guy a.k.a my blue eyed blondish brown hair brother sing karaoke tonight. And make it embarrassing and dramatic where he can't walk away. Like put a spot light on him."
Ben put a record on the spin table and replied,
"Sure thing man, skip the ten bucks a spot in your band and a spin on your motorcycle and you got a deal. Is your brother any good at singing?"
Matt shook Ben's hand, "Deal, nope I don't think my brother can sing. I never heard him sing before he hates singing out loud. Hence why I said embarrass him. I am trying to punk him for some revenge."
Ben began to bust up laughing, "Oh man that is harsh but okay I guess he did something to upset you."
Matt nodded yes.
"I'll have him stand in front of this pillar the wall where it screams out I am too cool to sing hopefully they don't see me spot."
Ben began to laugh, "Yeah I made the same mistake standing there before."
Matt nodded, "I think we all have this stupid wall." Matt laughed out.
"well I got to get going man. Mimi should be here in thirty minutes." He smiled out. He then reached his fist out and Ben bumped his fist on Matt's
"Alight then peace man. I am hoping to get my break soon. Wait did you say Mimi? Your cotton candy head?" He asked.
Matt sighed annoyed, "She doesn't have cotton candy hair anymore." He replied out, "shut up about that."
Ben chuckled, "Sure, sure man." He then walked off the stage and into the back room to get other supplies for the party. Matt walked out of the room closing the door behind him.
New scene
Tai sat in the waiting room seat in front of the statue. "Of course Mr. Fashionably late." Tai sighed out. He then looked at his phone it was 7: 07 He then texted,
"Hey Sora I was wondering what you thought of me. Because I want to let you know.. that time I asked you out, I still feel that way and I think I will always feel like that."
Sora was sitting outside waiting for the others to get ready. She had done her hair in loose curls and it was up to her boobs. She was wearing a midnight blue short dress shirt with black tights and blue boots. She had a white Eskimo jacket on. She looked up to see if anyone else was coming out of the house before she lost her nerve and ran back inside. As she looked up she saw a handsome boy walk out of the cabin the little girl from earlier walked into. Sora blushed slightly. The guy looked up at her and smiled at her wide,
"Hey, You look really gorgeous what's your name?" He asked.
Sora giggled nervously,
"I Don't talk to strangers." She replied half jokingly.
"Oh but we've met before. Once upon a dream." He chuckled to himself, "I am sorry for that line. My little sister was watching sleeping beauty and she had me say the lines to her. And I am sorry to be so straight forward." He walked closer to her, "You have drawn my attention. A pretty girl like yourself should not be outside alone."
Sora looked back at the house,
"It's fine I am waiting for my friends to come out. They should be done soon. And that is nice of you to watch cartoons with your sister." She laughed.
"My name is Chase." His green eyes sparkled at her and auburn hair was so nice and straight. It looked like a models,
"I'm Sora. She replied out,
"What are you doing out?" She asked.
He took a seat next to her, " I was getting something from my car." He then revealed in his hands a sketch book.
"Oh you like to draw?" She asked interested.
"Yeah I do, maybe I can show you some of my work sometime."
Sora shrugged her shoulders, " I don't know. Maybe." She said teasingly.
The guy opened up a page and showed her an amazing painting sketch ever. It was a girl looking up at the moon and the sky was a midnight blue blanket with glimmering stars.
"Wow you have great talent. That is amazing."
He smiled at her.
"Thank you. May I ask why you look dressed up for?"
Sora shook her head, Oh right for Tai and his party. She thought to herself.
"Oh I am going to some gala with some friends at the hotel.
Chase nodded his head,
"Oh awesome. Have fun at that."
Sora couldn't stop what slipped out,
"Do you want to come?" She asked before she could think what she was saying. She was intrigued by him.
"I don't know if I can. I have a lot of work to do." He looked at Sora and smiled,
"Alright sure if you are going I want to go." He smiled. "I'll just grab a sweater." He relied, "Wait am I too underdressed?" He asked.
He was wearing a black pants a whit shirt, tie and tan blazer.
"No you look fine." Sora replied. "You dress nice for no event to go to."
He snickered, "I always dress like this. Maybe sometime you can see me when I dress up." He smiled at her.
He then texted someone on the phone.
"I let my parents know I am going out." He smiled. Sora smiled goofy at him but finally snapped out of it as she felt her phone vibrate.
She read the text to herself.
"Tai you are a wonderful guy. You are sweet and charming a great guy."
As she sent the text she looked at her cabin and all her friends came out. Ken looked really upset. He walked over to Sora and grabbed her, "Excuse me." He replied to Chase.
"What the hell are you doing?! You came to see Tai! You were all sad that he liked you and you couldn't be with him because you were far away. You are here so what are you doing?"
Sora crossed her arms over her stomach,
"Look Ken. I just got a text from Tai He said he still likes me. And well it seems like he'd wait and I met this guy right now. I want to date before I settle and ruin Tai and my friendship." Ken's mouth dropped,
"What the hell Sora this whole trip was for you to finally hook up with Tai. How can you just leave him hanging after he opened himself up to you for a second time? He won't be waiting around forever."
Sora rolled her eyes, "I know this was all for me but I dunno I just want to get to know Chase before I hook up with Tai. Because I know Tai and I will be forever. I want to get this out of my system."
Ken shook his head, "Fine Sora do what you want. That is messed up of you. And Tai moves on then don't come crying to me." Sora nodded her head okay.
Izzy and Yolie looked at each other puzzled.
Sora looked at them, "Yolie your coming?"
Yolie nodded her head yes, "Davis wanted to stay behind with." She then looked at Chase, "With his puppy it had been a while." Sora nodded her head okay.
"Shall we all walk now?" Sora asked
Chase laughed, "don't be silly princesses don't walk. I'll drive you and your friends. Besides my warm sweater is in there. Which means i don't have to go inside and upset my sister by leaving again."
Sora grinned and blushed. And Yolie giggled, "Sora you sure know how to pick them."
They all followed chase to his red Porsche. Everyone gasped as they went inside.
"This is a really nice car." Izzy gasped out,
"Thanks." He replied as he turned the engine on.
Next scene
Matt was on his way to meet up with Tai when his mom stopped him.
"Matt where is your brother and dad?"
Matt kicked his foot on the floor, "I have no idea. Must be uh, in the bath room?" He said nervously and began to blink a lot.
His mother laughed out, "You are such a horrible liar. Never become a politician or lawyer Matthew ." She joked out, "Now I am going to ask you again. Where is your brother and dad?" Matt fiddled with his thumb, "You'll never drag it out of me!" Mat replied nobly.
"Oh yeah?" She replied sternly with her eyes grilling him, "What if I forbid you to practice in the back house and no touring." She had her hands over her hips, "Well." She replied.
"Okay!" He said weakly, "I cave. " Dad found the basketball court in the hotel and he and T.k. are having a one on one." He replied out putting his arms over his head "Don't hurt me. I didn't show it to them." His mother just laughed,
"Oh i know you had nothing to do with it. It was Greg. He is itching for the wildcats to have a winning season because T.k. is team leader this year." She replied annoyed. "Those boys! I told them to be ready. Now they are both going to wash up." She then stormed off to get them.
Matt looked at his mom and replied under his breath, "So glad that I am not them right now." He laughed out.
"where are you going?" She asked him.
" I am going to meet up with tai and Mimi is going to come by."
"Oh really tell tai I said hello. Mimi? Oh your cotton candy girl?" She giggled out.
"Ugh!" Matt whined out, "How it is everyone in the world knows that?" He asked annoyed.
"Honey I am your mother and like I said, you are a horrible lair." She laughed out.
Matt waved his hand at her to go away and continued walking and saw a guy that had almost better hair then he did.
"Oh hell no that guys hair is really nice I should get some tips from him." Matt noticed the guy was tilting his head as if sad, "Why is that guy upset with perfect hair?" He then squinted and realized that the guy was,
"Tai?"
Tai looked up and saw Matt,
"Hey man. What do you think?"
Matt gasped, "I like it a lot. I was about to tell you off because I didn't recognize you for a moment. I am a bit jealous the hair style is awesome. Why are you bummed?" Matt asked putting his arm around Tai.
"Well I professed my love to Sora yet again. And she basically turned me down yet again." Tai showed Matt the text.
"Wow that is harsh. She broke up with me because she had feelings for you and I had feelings for Mimi. She is so wihy washy."
"Well if she liked me then why is she beating around the bush?"
Matt shook his head, "You make yourself too available. She thinks she can get to you whenever. You have to move on man. She is toying with you now. You gave her two chances. You have done enough chasing now it is her turn to chase you."
Tai nodded his head, "yeah I guess you are right. I can't help it though I am in love with her. I'd do anything and wait for her for eternity. But I have to show her not to take me for granted." Tai pulled out a gold white bracelet that had a royal blue gem and a diamond stone. There were two charms on it one a tennis racket and a soccer ball.
"I was going to give this to her for new years. But I guess this New Year I have to wait because she isn't here and beside she hasn't shown interest. I am through with putting my heart on the line. I need to do the running for a change." He then put the bracelet back into his pocket.
Matt nodded yes and patted him on the back,
"Yeah, good for you man. Plus with that hair cut you can get any girl to go out with you now." He chuckled out.
Tai looked at his phone and he had an unread message. He hoped it was Sora adding in more to say but it was only Kari.
"Tai, come to my room mom is making you walk me to the party. I am all dressed for the kids party grr."
Tai snickered.
"Hey Matt want to come with me to walk my little sis to the party?"
Matt got up to his feet, "Sure man."
They strolled over to room 18.
"Where's your room?" Matt asked,
"Room 17. Why? Are you planning on sneaking into my room? If so I'll leave the door open for you." He joked out,
"Oh please do. I'll be strolling in around 1 in the morning. And later have a romantic get away." Matt laughed.
Tai chuckled and knocked on Kari's door,
"Ready?" HE asked.
Kari popped her head out and her mouth fell open,'
"Matt!" She flung her arms around him,
"I haven't seen you in a while! How have you been?"
He hugged her back and smiled.
"I have been good. Look at you. You grew out your hair. I like it a lot. And you grew."
She smiled, "Yeah I grew slightly. I let my hair grow during winter, spring and summer but fall I cut it." She smiled at him.
Tai looked at her, "Shall we take you now?"
Kari nodded her head,
"How is T.k?" She asked while shutting the door behind him, "He is good. Busy with being popular at school and being team leader."
Kair's eyes widened,
"Wow that is amazing a sophomore captain. Not too common. Davis must be boiling at the news. He is out beaten by Ken at soccer and T.k. out shined him at basketball. I am sure he'll find his sport."
Tai chuckled,
"This is new to me as well man. Tell him I said congrats. I'll just text him. But hey Davis is good at soccer just not like Ken and I." He laughed out.
Kari nodded her head in agreement, "That is true."
They then ended up in front of the room Matt was at not too long ago,
"Looks like my friend Ben wasn't able to get his break yet. He is still on shift." He pointed out to Tai.
Tai looked at Ben, "hey that guy is in my class for sociology."
Ben nodded his head at Tai and Tai did the same.
Kari smiled at Tai,
"Okay you can go now." She sat on a chair and began to read,
"Kari." Tai protested. "There is a party going on around you with music people and games. Don't start reading."
Kari rolled her eyes, "Tai I want to read I don't want to talk to anyone. What is the point I wont see them ever again."
Tai looked at her book, "Nice book, Fine suit yourself." He pretended to walk away and he grabbed the book from her hand and ran with it. Kari caught up to him, "Tai! Give me my book back!" She yelled out,
"No way!" He replied jokingly, "Catch Matt!"
Matt caught the book and dangled it up in the air from Karia.
"Come on give it back Matt! So not cool." Matt chuckle slightly,
"Awe I'll show you not cool." He then threw the book back at the sofa. "Letting you spoil party time by allowing you to read." Karia shrugged her shoulders, "I'm willing to deal with that." She then walked back to her seat, picked up her book and began to read.
Tai pulled Matt away,
Dude I am trying to get her to not be so shy and timid." Matt chuckled, "Relax I got an idea."
He strolled over to where Ben was, "Hey man I need another favor." He replied, "Sure man what is it? Make it fast. Boss man is in the room and will yell at me."
"I need you to call on my brother when it is a duet song."
Ben looked confused, " I thought you wanted revenge not play match maker. Or did you want me to put somebody hideous with him." Ben laughed.
Matt shook his head no, "Nope. I am his brother I would never want anyone ugly for him because that means I'd have to be related to it." He laughed out. " Anyway, You see my friend Tai here has a little sister who has a great voice but is way too shy. He wasn't her out of her shell. And well this may help. If she sings with my brother doing bad." Ben nodded his head, "Oh okay man cool. Which one is his little sister?"
Matt pointed at the spot where Kari was sitting, "The only person here reading a book." Ben chuckled, "awe she is cute."
Tai glared at Ben, "She is a minor. Don't get any ideas." Ben sniggered and put his hand on Tai,
"No worries man I have a little cousin. I am protective over her too. I'll have them sing and have a spot light on them."
Matt grinned and rubbed his hands together, "Excellent." He laughed evilly.
"We'll let you get back to you work Ben."
Tai and Matt walked towards the door.
"Bye Kari, have fun reading." Matt snickered out.
"Goodbye, you two." She didn't glance up she just waved her hand and continued to read.
Matt grabbed Tai's arm, "Oh man almost forgot!" Matt hit his head lightly. "The main piece to my devious plan." He laughed out. He whipped out his and texted his brother T.k.
"He is in the hotel room finishing taking a shower." Let's go. Matt replied.
