* Ding Dong*
*Ding Dong*
Matt rang the doorbell for the second time.
*Ding Dong*
Matt rang the doorbell again. "Grr... Where are they, I know someone's
here?!" Matt screamed frustrated running his right hand through his golden locks.
Shivering slightly he stood in front of the Yagami's door, outside in 30 something degrees weather. It seemed like he had been waiting here forever, finally on the third ring someone decided to answer the door.
"Hiya Matt!" Tai greeted excitedly. He moved aside so that the he could come in.
"Baka!" Matt said while hitting him in the back of the head. "What took you so long?" Matt asked rubbing his hands together to get warm.
"Sorry, I had just gotten out of the shower, my parents went last minute Christmas shopping and Kari was to lazy to come to the door." Tai explained while using his right arm to rub the back of his sore head.
"Yeah, that would explain the wet hair look. Any ways, I got bored at my house so I came here, You'll never believe what happened!" Matt laughed while flopping lazily on the couch.
"What is it?" Tai eagerly asked walking over near the large tan couch.
Matt looked over to his eager friend and shook his a bit to get lose strands of hair out of his face. He lifted his head up a bit to look at his friend.
"Where to start..." Matt mumbled. "All right, sit and I'll tell you." Matt said pointing at the couch.
Tai quietly laid down on the couch opposite of his friend. He stared up at Matt waiting for him to continue.
"You know when I told you Tk and I were going to meet my dad's fiancée?" Matt questioned.
"Yeah...?" Tai answer curious.
"Well, she turned out to be Davis's mother." Matt said leaning against the arm rest.
Tai's eyes double in size. "Seriously?!" Tai asked amazed still not quite not believing his friend.
"Dude, would I make something like that up!" Matt demanded.
"Hmm... your right. I always thought Davis lived with both his parents and his sister." Tai said putting a finger up to his chin thoughtfully.
"Yeah, well that's what I thought too, until Davis walked in the room when my dads fiancée introduced us to her son. You don't know how shocked the three of us were. That's the last person in the world that I thought I would ever be related to." Matt said shaking his head.
"That's cool I guess, you get one new brother, that's always a plus!" Tai added.
"Yeah, but you know how Davis can get. Although he isn't as annoying as I thought he would be." Matt said truthfully.
"I know Davis can get a little annoying, but that's just the outside, once you get to know him he's actually not that bad. He's not half as annoying as he makes him self appear to be." Tai informed him.
"I know and that could turn out to problem." Matt said looking his friend in the eyes.
"Problem, what problem?" Tai asked.
"The problem is that we don't know anything but the loud, obnoxious, annoying Davis! But I believe that there is stuff that goes on with him that he doesn't talk about. If he can keep a secret, such as his parents being divorced for several years, who knows what else the kid could be hiding. It's kind of sad when you don't trust your friends enough to talk to them about a problem." Matt said partially angry.
"Well... now that I think about it your right. Someone can't be that happy all the time, everyone has problems. Even I've had my fair share. Though, Davis seems as though nothing could ever bother him, he repels negative things." Tai said turning over on his back.
"That's one of the reasons why I'm concerned..."
"You always did have some sort of sixth sense when someone had a problem." Tai said leaning his head up against the head rest. "Maybe nothings wrong, he could just be a happy person...?" Tai wondered.
"I would have thought that too a couple of days ago, but then there was that party..." Matt trailed off.
"You mean the last digi-destined party at Joe's house?" Tai questioned.
"Yeah, he was acting a bit out of it, totally unlike himself. You know, quiet, distant, and kept to himself. Definitely not like Davis." Matt said seriously.
"Really..?" Tai asked.
"Yep." Matt answered. "The funny thing though, was when he left to go somewhere, I don't know where exactly. All I know, is that when he came back, he was acting like his normal self again. It was a complete transformation. After the party he told me he was just shocked about our parents getting married. I don't really know if that's the whole reason. Other than that, I guess I don't know." Matt said sighing.
"Do...do you think he's on drugs?" Tai asked his friend.
"Naw, I don't think he could get his hands on those. I have no clue what it could be. I'll keep you updated though so we can find out what's wrong with him." Matt said getting up off the couch and walking towards the play station.
"He should know by now that he can always come to his friends for help." Tai said picking up a controller.
"I know, either he can't or he still doesn't trust us enough." Matt said shrugging his shoulders while he sat on the floor in front of the tv next to his friend.
"If you see something tell me, and if I notice something I'll tell you, deal?" Tai said holding his and out.
"Deal." Matt agreed shaking his friends hand.
"Now, get ready to get your butt kicked!" Tai yelled as he started up the game.
"Please, the only one about to get stomped around here is you!" Matt smirked while taking the controller in his hand.
(Tk Pov)
"Bye!" Davis and I yelled as we made our way out of the front door. We walked down the hall to the elevator and got on. Davis looked like he was thinking about something when we got on the elevator. It was probably nothing. We stopped on the first floor and begin the walk to the boy's house.
Near twelve o' clock, we arrived at a huge house surrounded by a neighborhood filled with other house just as elegant as the Mansion looking two- story house they were approaching. Each yard had perfectly cut grass and some sort of design around their yard.
"Wow, this kid's family is loaded." I said aloud admiring the house.
"Yeah, they are, though Chris likes to ignore it." Davis told me as he rung the doorbell.
***Normal pov***
The door was open by a young man with brown hair which was parted in the middle, not gelled and deep- sea blue eyes. He was wearing a blue T-shirt with a white line in the middle of it and a pair of regular jeans that were a little roughed up a the bottom. He also wore two identical wristbands on his wrist except the were white. (a/n: just describing what he looks like!)
***Tk pov***
"Hey Chris, this is my friend Tk, he's gonna he joinin' the band ok." Davis said pointing over at me.
"Cool, nice ta meet you." The slightly taller brunette said reaching out to shake my hand.
"All right, then you guys come on in, the other guys are setting in the garage." Chris smiled while opening the door up wider so we could pass through.
"Davis, Ken said you wrote a new song, what's it called?" Chris asked while leading us to the garage.
"It's called, In The End." Davis replied smiling.
The brunette laughed. "You wrote some more angsty grudge stuff didn't you?" Chris asked teasingly.
"You know me, yelling is my specialty!" Davis smiled even wider.
"Yeah, I know we probably couldn't write as good as you anyways, so I'm not complaining." Chris said walking through a nice hallway. The whole house was spacious. It was as big as it looked on the outside.
"Tk?" Chris said.
"Huh..Oh yeah..?" I said realizing I was being talked to.
"You play the guitar right?" Chris asked turning his head to look at me for a second.
"Yep." I answered.
"Nice I play the bass and Davis does the vocals, but he also plays the guitar. I also have surprise for you all in a bit." Chris said pushing his way though glass doubled doors. The three of us walked down a pair of stairs where we could see the other two setting up the equipment.
~~*~~(Normal Pov)~~*~~
"Hey Ken, Brian." Davis said while grinning and waving. He stopped in front of his friends and introduced Tk all over again. "Brian this is Tk, Tk this is Brian." Davis said introducing Tk.
Brian was a bit taller than Tk too. He was a tanish complexion and had light brown hair with a few natural blond streaks. He also had nice honey- colored eyes. He was wearing a black t- shirt with silver lettering, he had on black wrist bands and wore a silver chain on the side of his jean pants.
"Hey." They both said shaking each others hands.
"What's up Tk!" Ken smiled, doing a little hand slap thing.
"Ken, did you bring my guitar?" Davis questioned.
"Of course, it's over there in it's case." Ken said pointing to the right behind his keyboard.
"All right, I brought the music, even wrote it out in notes with the words underneath the lines." Davis said passing out a sheet of music to each of them.
"I'll show you how the guitar sounds real quick." Davis said strapping on his base. He then began to strum a few cords giving them a sample of the music. He stopped and looked at his now band mates searching for their approval.
"That was awesome man!" Brian said as the others nodded in agreement. They walked over to where their instruments were and got prepared to play the piece. Brian began playing the beat on his drums.
"I wish I brought my guitar." Tk thought to himself watching the others play.
They all were softly playing there parts to the music, surprisingly learning it fast.
Originally Ken was going to play the bass, but he wanted to play the keyboard instead which worked out since Chris plays the bass too.
"Ken, you're mostly going to play the melody." Davis said while walking over towards the mic. "Now remember, we aren't going out there to look like fools, we're going to give it our all."
"Umm.. Davis, we're still short a person." Brian pointed out from where he sat behind his drums. Sure enough he was right, they still needed a synth player.
"Don't worry, I got it covered." "MALIK." Chris screamed out. A few moments later a younger looking boy with brown hair opened the door.
"WHAT!" He yelled back as he came down the stairs.
"You remember what I talked to you about this morning?" Chris asked as the younger boy appeared in front of him.
"Huh...oh yeah!" The younger boy replied excited.
"So, surprise guys, this is my younger brother Malik, he's only a couple years younger than us. He can play the synth for us."
They looked at his brother in contemplation.
"Don't worry, he's good, I taught him everything he knows...just kidding, it was mostly the piano teacher." Chris said smiling at his 10 year old brother.
"All right, there's another copy of the music beside the mic." Davis said pointing. "Oh yea, I forgot to tell you," Davis said smiling. "I need someone to rap. The music is diverse, I'm not gonna be screaming the whole time!" Davis laughed.
"Why not Tk, he doesn't have his guitar. I'm sure he could handle it." Ken said turning on his keyboard.
"A..are you serious, me rap!" Tk stuttered surprised.
"Why not, your voice is deep enough for it. All you have to do it talk fast...or at least to the beat." Davis shrugged.
"I...uh, all right." Tk sighed defeated.
"Here's the rap part, it's most of the song. Just practice a bit. We have faith in ya!" Davis smiled patting his friend on the back. Davis went over to his friends helping each one of them out with the parts telling them how it went and so on.
"Ok, I can do this. It' not like I've never listened to rap, It's one of my favorite types of music. I just never thought I would have to rap." "Let's see what's the first line." Tk muttered to himself as he read over his part. "Damn, he wasn't kidding when he said this was long." He whispered. Ok, how am I going to do this. "How did that melody go, hmm...alright I remember now." Tk looked at the paper while he tried the part out in his head.
"It start's with...one thing , I don't know why... Itdoen'tevenmatterhowhardyoutry." "Huh...that wasn't so bad. I think I'll keep practicing though."
**** 6 hours later****
6:00pm
"Ya' know, we don't sound too bad. We still need improvement, but the song sounded better than I ever thought it would." Davis laughed as he sat down.
"Davis, stop knockin' yourself down, you know you write great songs." Chris said as he put down his guitar.
"Yea.. whatever." Davis mumbled to himself.
"Boys!" Chris mother said. "I thought you would like some snacks so here are some sandwiches and water bottles." "Enjoy!" Chris's mom said.
The group of boys gladly reached for the sandwiches and water bottles not forgetting to thank her.
She left the tray and then exited the room the same way she came in. After Chris's mother left the room Davis began to speak.
"After we finish these snacks, we'll practice for a few more hours." In the digital world and out of the digital world, the sense of leadership never quite left Davis. He may lead the band of few times, but they switched roles every so often. No one person was in charge of the band, they were equals.
*** 3 hours later ***
"You know, that didn't sound too bad!" Ken said with a slight grin on his face.
"Yea, we sounded almost perfect. There are still a few things we need to work out though..." Brian said while running a hand through his light colored brown hair.
"I guess we should be leaving, it's around 9 o' clock and I know your parents probably don't want us around that long!" Tk laughed.
"Ok." Davis replied. "Just to let you know, we aren't gonna be able to practice for a while. Me, Tk, and the rest of our family are going out of town. And whatever you do..." Davis trailed off. "DON'T forget the music!"
"Ya don't have to worry about that davy- boy, don't ya trust us...?" Chris said smiling evilly.
"To tell you the truth, NO!" Davis said grinning.
Fake pouting Chris crossed his arms over his chest. "Don't worry Davis I'll make sure big brother practices!" Malik said.
The rest of the band laughed at this.
"Um... we should probably head on too Chris." Ken said while casting a sideways glance at Brian.
"Yeah, I have like a 10 or somethin' curfew, I forget. Meaning, I should probably leave now, just in case." Brian added quickly packing up his stuff.
"You guys can just leave your stuff here since this is where we are practicing anyways." Chris told Ken and Brian knowing they had the largest instruments.
"Thanks man!" Brian said. He reached down to pick up his drumstick and placed them in his back pocket.
"Davis, I got your guitar okay." Ken said. He placed it in the case then strapped it on his back.
"All right!" "See you guys later!" Davis said.
"Yeah, bye!" Tk waved as they both headed up the stairs to the main door.
It took a couple of minutes to get out of the neighborhood. It was around 9:30p.m. then.
"Hey, Ts, you feel like goin' to the movies and gettin' some hollas?" Davis asked with a huge ass grin on his face.
"It's Tk." He responed, use to having to correct the spiky haired boy. "I wonder..." Tk thoughtfully replied. His index finger was on his chin in a thinking sort of way while his head tilted slightly.
"Come on, it'll be fun!" "I can try out some of my new pick up lines!" Davis joked.
"Oh damn, your just going to embarrass us." Tk muttered placing a hand to his face. "But then again," Tk said popping his head up. " I think we should just head home." Tk said adding a damper to Davis plans.
"You take the fun out of everything..." Davis said crossing his arms and sticking out his bottom lip.
"The movies are too expensive any way, it's like you need a job just to afford a ticket." Tk said as the continued walking to their house.
"Yeah, I guess your right." Davis said placing his hands in his pockets.
"That's why I usually sneak into the movies. There's doors on the side, me and my friends just get someone to open the door for us. We could see as many movie as we wanted then. The security there sucks!" Tk laughed.
"Whoa... are you tellin' me the oh so great Tp has actually snuck into a movie?! What is this world coming to?!" Davis mocked playfully while throwing an arm in the arm.
"So what if I did, I do a lot of things people wouldn't have thought I'd do. But, that's for me to know and you to never find out!" Tk said grinning mischievously.
"Whatever, let's just get to the house already." Davis said as the piled into the elevator.
(normal pov)
"MOM!" "WE'RE HOME!" Davis yelled. He and Tk walked into the living room where his mother was.
"Davis, shush!" "Don't wake the entire neighborhood up!" His mother scolded.
"Sorry." Davis apologized grinning sheepishly.
"Hi, Takeru darling. Are you doing ok? Davis didn't wear you out too much did he?"
"Of course not Ms. Diane. We had a great time!" Tk smiled giving a 'help me' glance to Davis.
"That's good to hear. Well, were did you all go?" Diane asked looking at both the boys expectantly.
"Where did we go...? Oh, that um... y..you see well..." Tk stuttered.
Seeing that his friend was in desperate need of some help Davis decided to answer for him. "Sorry mom, that's confidential." Davis said.
"Ok then. You boys need to go get packed, we leave tomorrow morning. You brother's friend is spending the night tonight, so you guys have fun." With that said Diane turned and left the room going to join her now husband in their bedroom.
"Whatever. Come on let's go." Davis said as the both went upstairs.
(Davis pov)
We were almost to my room when I felt arm being tugged. To be exact, my wrist. "What the.." I quickly turned around to see who had grabbed me.
"Hey Davis, Tk, I know you two weren't just gonna walk past the room not saying hi." Tai grinned at us and I saw Matt now coming out of the room.
I yanked my wrist back from his grip, it was starting to get at bit painful. Especially if you have a bunch of cuts on them. But enough about that crap.
"We were just about to say hi when you decided to tear my arm away from my body." I snapped semi glaring at him. Stupid, he thinks I'm gonna be in a good mood after he probably just re-opened a wound.
"No need to get all offended buddy!" Tai said.
"I wasn't offended, just surprised." I smiled, remembering I still had show to keep up
"Since Tai's sleeping over is it all right if I bunk with you Davis?" Tk asked.
"No prob." I said. "I wouldn't want to know what they talk about in their spare time either!" I joked. It seemed as if Tk and I were the only ones laughing. Yep. We were.
"Now who's offended." I said sticking out my tongue.
"Grow up." Matt said rolling his eyes. "Make sure you two pack your stuff, we'll see you in the morning." And with that he proceeded to shut the door in our faces.
"That was rude." I heard Tk say.
"Just a bit." I replied sarcastically as we made our way to my room.
"I'll take the shower in my room, you take the one in the hall way bathroom." I said while going to my bedroom.
"Davis, I already packed and my suitcase is in your room." Tk told me. We were both now dressed in our night clothes.
"Yeah, I already did too, but for some strange reason everyone seems to think we haven't packed yet."
"That doesn't matter. What does matter is that I can finally go to sleep. That practice wiped me out.
"Shuh!" Don't say that to loud or they'll find out our secret.
"Don't worry, who listens to us?" Tk questioned.
"Hmm... you got a point there."
"Yep, let's go to sleep now."
"Were do you wanna sleep, the floor, bed, desk, bathroom..." I said while putting my notebook back in the drawer.
"If you don't mind, I'll sleep in the bed."
"Good choice, I wouldn't have slept on the floor either." I walk over to my bed and jumped in. The good thing about my bed was that it was big, it could fit at least three people comfortably in it.
Tk got in to. I told him to shut off the light. Then I rolled in the opposite direction of him and went to sleep. I started dreaming what this camping trip would be like.
