How I Feel About You…

Tai woke up from bed early today, he wanted the plan to work for tomorrow and he knew that the others had to try and finish work early so that they could do their best to try and talk to Sora about a few things, mainly about her feelings towards Yamato. They needed to clear things up and make sure that their plan would at least get their two friends somewhere. Tai was about to go down the stairs in a hurry when he heard someone call his name.

"Tai!" called Kari as she went to greeted her brother, she went to Tai and gave him a big hug "Good morning Tai, wow this is a surprise you're up early today is there some kind of special occasion?" said Kari giggling a bit

"Nope I just need to get up early today….hey why are you so jolly today anyway?" asked Tai with a confused look and Kari was still hugging him from behind "Is there anything I need to know?"

"…Tai can I talk to you for a second?" asked Kari her smile slightly fading away

"Huh? Alright…just hold up for a second. I'll be back here in a minute alright, I'll go down for a while and tell Ken that you want to talk about something okay. I'll meet you back in my room." Said Tai as Kari let him go

Tai dashed down the stairs and hoped that Ken was already there. He noticed how his little sister's smile slightly faded away for a while even if it only happened for a second he as the older brother could always notice these kinds of things. He just hoped that whatever Kari wanted to talk about it wasn't anything horrible.

Ken entered the still closed restaurant and started to set things up, he too arrived earlier than he usually did and he did this for a reason. He knew what needs to be done and they had a lot of things to work on so today all of them decided to only work part-time today for special reasons, and they also wanted to finish as early as possible.

"Ken! Man I am so glad that you're already here!" called Tai as he dashed down from the stairs

Ken was shocked of hearing Tai's voice and at the same time too shocked to know that Tai was actually early today "Tai! Wow you're awake, that's a shocker isn't it?" said Ken with a light chuckle

"Yeah trust me I'm pretty surprised myself you know." Replied Tai and then hr looked at Ken "Listen Ken I want you to do me favor…that is if it's alright."

"Yeah sure Tai no problem…so what do you need?" asked Ken

"Can you open the shop and start serving some few customers alone without me for a while? I'll be catching up to you later." asked Tai

"Sure Tai that I can do no problem. Although if you don't mind me asking what's up?" asked Ken with a questioning look on his face

Tai looked at Ken and said "Well it's Kari, she said that she wanted to talk to me about something. I mean she was so happy earlier than she said she wanted to talk problem is she wouldn't tell me what it's about…and call me crazy but I think she's worried about telling me…whatever it is."

Ken was silent an thought about the whole situation for a moment then he spoke again "Well why don't you just talk to her? She is planning to tell you isn't she? Go for it Tai, you are her big brother here, if there's anyone she'd want to talk to it'd be you."

"Yeah I guess you're right…you sure that you're alright with starting stuff without me?" asked Tai again, he didn't like the idea of leaving most of the work to Ken considering they have to close up early today

"Positive Tai I can handle things here, you have to go talk to Kari first. Besides we'll be talking with the others later wouldn't we so go on ahead. It's not like you ask me to do this everyday…its fine it really is Tai." Replied Ken smiling at his friend

"Thanks a lot Ken I owe you one big time." Said Tai as dashed off to go back to his room and have his little chat with Kari

Ken was left alone but he didn't seem to mind really and deep down he already knew what Kari wanted to talk to Tai with. He smiled to himself and thought "Come on Kari you can do it. I don't think Tai would mind that and I know that he'll be there to support you." And so he opened up the shop and got ready to serve some hungry customers

Kari was waiting inside Tai's room, she was looking out the opened window near Tai's bed, and she let the wind blow through her hair. She was left deep within her thoughts "I hope Tai can understand and give me some good advice…I know that I'm doing the right thing in asking him about this. He's my brother after all and I'll respect whatever he has to say…"

Kari's thoughts were interrupted when Tai burst into the room "Hey there Kari I'm back! Ken's starting things downstairs." Said Tai as he closed the door to his room and he lied down his bed with his hands behind his head and asked "So what was it that you wanted to talk about? Anything on your mind that you want to tell your big brother?"

Kari sat on the bed next to Tai and said "Tai what would you do if…you know if ever I got into a relationship someday?"

"W-what?!? Kari where did this come from?" asked Tai the one thing that went into his head was that she and Davis might be going out or something

"Well Tai I'm not in a relationship with anybody alright I just want to hear about your opinion." Explained Kari, this relaxed Tai a little but not completely he still wanted to know where she was getting to

"Hmm lets see that depends on who you're going to get into a relationship with Kari, I mean if you really care about each other who am I to tell you to stop right? I'll support you of course but it'll still depend…now back to my question: where did this come from all of a sudden?" asked Tai getting up from his current position and was now seated beside Kari

"Well Tai there's just…it's just that…I think…I think I'm starting to like someone Tai. I don't mean it as a joke it's real and it's just new to me and I'm scared that my feelings are just toying with me…" said Kari

Tai now understood where this talk was getting at and he knew perfectly well what Kari was talking about. In fact he only needed one guess to figure it all out he didn't even consider it as a guess for he was sure that he was going to get the right answer "It's T.K isn't it?"

"W-what?!?" asked Kari shocked to hear Tai's answer

"Kari you and Sor are practically the same you know. You can't hide things from me that long without me ever finding out about it." Said Tai then he looked at his sister and spoke "Kari it's alright, you don't have to hide it from me because I can see it and I don't mind really. It's your feelings and no one, not even I can manipulate you. Besides I see that T.K cares about you too I mean I said it didn't I? You and Sor both have the same thing going on it's just that you're not afraid to admit to me that you like him…so it's fine really it is."

"Tai…are you sure about that?" asked Kari

"Of course, didn't I tell you that I'd be there to show full support. And besides you gave me a better answer than the one that I was expecting to get." Said Tai with a laugh

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" asked Kari with a confused look

"Well when you asked what I'd think of you in a relationship I thought that you were going out with Davis." Replied Tai

"T-Tai! Why would you think that? And I thought you figured everything out from the beginning!" said Kari joining her brother's laughter "Tai speaking of Davis…"

"Nah forget about him for now I told you it's your feelings and he can't control you on that. It's your choice in the end I'm sure Davis will understand. Besides you and T.K aren't together yet so I think it would be best if we didn't tell him yet." Suggested Tai

"Tai…do you think that…you know T.K feels the same way?" asked Kari in a soft voice

"Well that's up to you to find out Kari, I'm sure he'll tell you soon enough. Knowing T.K he just needs a little push and I can see that he cares for you. You just have to wait and hear that out loud coming from him and not me. Don't loose hope Kari it's always there." Said Tai with a smile

"Thanks Tai, you're a really amazing brother you know I'm happy to have you here. But Tai you do know that T.K is a prince right?" asked Kari

"Kari even if he is a prince he's not unable to love. Just like everyone else he has his own feelings and in the end the choice is his to make, just like Yamato and Sor." Said Kari

"Speaking of that…you think something will turn up tomorrow night during the ball?" asked Kari

"Well we have to try something right? I mean we have to help them to get somewhere. I'm sure we can think of something and make it through." Said Tai

"Yeah I sure hope so…anyway you better get downstairs and start helping Ken out, he must be working real hard there all alone and everything." Said Kari as she remembered that Ken was already waiting for Tai's help and was currently doing all of the work alone.

"Yeah you're right about that." Tai got up and said "Well better get moving if we want to make it through today and finish early." He was about to leave when

"Tai wait!" Tai turned back and got a big hug from Kari "Thanks Tai you're the best! I hope what you said is right."

"It'll work out Kari you'll see just keep on believing and I'm sure we'll find a way to make things work." Said Tai as he hugged his sister back "Besides I'll always be here for you no matter what happens alright you can always talk to me whenever you need to."

"Thanks so much Tai I really do thank you for everything you know." Said Kari

"No prob. I'll be here and everyone else will too." Said Tai

Soon Kari let Tai go and he dashed back downstairs to meet Ken and help him out with the restaurant. Kari was once again left on her own "There I said it…I couldn't keep it within me forever. I hope I'll have the courage to tell you how I feel someday T.K…Is this what it's like? Is this…love?"

Back at the palace things were pretty busy, they were all preparing for the ball that will occur the following day. Yamato and Takeru were helping set things up although no one wanted to put both of the princes to work, the two of them had to sneak out of their fathers watchful eyes so they could help others in the preparations. Both of them didn't like to see the maids and workers do all the work all the time it made them feel bad that they wanted to help them whenever they could and preparations for the ball wasn't easy and the two of them were glad to offer help.

Yamato and Takeru made their way down to the stables and saw Nicholas there carrying some of the stuff to be used for the preparations. They both went to him and soon Yamato spoke "Nicholas, those seem heavy. Do you need any help?" he asked

"No need your highnesses, I wouldn't mind doing this myself. I do suggest that you two should take a break or so. I've heard rumors flying around that you've both been helping around the castle non-stop." Said Nicholas then he continued "I'll take care of this your highnesses, no need to worry."

"But Nicholas…." Takeru was about to protest but before he could he was soon cut off

"Please your highness no more protests if I may I'd like you both to go ahead and rest. Your Majesty will be speaking to you later wouldn't he? You should be prepared for that and worry less of the extra work." Suggested Nicholas with a kind smile then he spoke again "Now please excuse me your highnesses as I have to take my leave." He bowed an then he left

Takeru sighed and spoke "They never let us do any work even if we're the one's willing to do it. I feel really bad not being able to help out around for the preparations."

"Well I guess we have to go, Nicholas was right when he said hat father would speak to me, something about how I should act tomorrow night…I cant take this anymore!" said Yamato turning and walking away as Takeru tailed for his brother

"Big brother maybe you should just let him talk to you…" suggested Takeru

"And then what he's going to manipulate me again?!?" asked Yamato looking at his brother

"No of course not, you know that father is only doing these things because he feels that it's the best for the both of us." Explained Takeru

"That's just it Takeru, that's the main problem! He doesn't listen to a word we utter. And to make things worse whenever I do get the chance to explain my side of the story Cassandra is always there to change the subject for me." Said Yamato as he continued to walk again

"…" Takeru was silent for a moment, Oh how he wished that he and his brother could leave and go see all of their friends but right now they just couldn't…Takeru thought about this for a moment then he remembered "That's right I have to talk to him about Sora to get things somewhere tomorrow…"

Takeru was about to talk when his brother surprisingly beat him to it "Takeru…I have a suggestion for you…more like an advice."

"Oh and what might that be?" asked Takeru

"You know about the ball tomorrow right?" asked Yamato

"Of course I do, where are you getting at?" asked Takeru looking at Yamato while still walking

"Well…don't you think it's the perfect opportunity? I mean to tell Kari how you feel?" asked Yamato, which shocked Takeru a bit, he surely didn't expect his brother to tell him that.

"Um…I don't know…I mean I don't even know if she feels the same way. We haven't known each other that long…and Tai…." Takeru was kind of nervous when talking about Kari, because deep down he wanted to tell her how he felt he just didn't know how to do it.

"Takeru, nothing is stopping you, you're not about to be married to anyone and besides I think Tai understands…not to mention the fact that if you don't take the opportunity you might not get another one in a few years." Said Yamato

"It's not that…I guess I'm just nervous and I don't want anything bad to happen. I mean we've become good friends and I don't want to end up ruining that because of some confession…" said Takeru then he thought about it again "Wait a minute…I should be the one talking to you about this, not the other way around!"

But once again Yamato spoke "Listen just take some courage and please beat Davis to it. You've seen him act towards her haven't you. The chances with him are pretty slim and everything but still, you have to take that chance you never know she might feel the same way. Besides you don't have to tell her directly…do it your own way. Trust me you'll regret it if you don't do something."

"I-I will alright just give me time…and I'll think about your advice. If things work out then I'll tell her how I feel okay." Said Takeru as he saw his brother smile at him

"That's the attitude I need to hear from you, trust me you do not want to go to the extent when they'll be the one to choose whom for you to marry. It would not be a nice experience." Said Yamato as he and Takeru were now walking to Yamato's room.

They went inside and Yamato sat on the bed, then out of nowhere Takeru started their conversation once again "Alright big brother now it's your turn."

"For what?" asked Yamato looking at Takeru confused

"When are you planning to tell Sora how you feel?" this question silenced Yamato for a while shocked that his brother would ask him that

"W-what?!? What even makes you think that I was planning to tell her in the first place?" asked Yamato in defense

"Oh come on now, I know that you have feelings for her. You didn't even dare to protest when I told mother about it, all you said was that father wouldn't allow it because she wasn't from royal blood." Said Takeru

"Alright I an admit as much, but Takeru for starters do you honestly think that I could confess and tell her how I feel?" asked Yamato

"And why not? You're telling me to do the same with Kari aren't you?" said Takeru trying to make his point

"Takeru please…it's not that easy for me as it is for you. Have you forgotten that I'm currently about to be married to a girl that I don't even love. Do you think that if someone caught me telling someone else that I love her I wouldn't get into trouble?" asked Yamato and Takeru knew he had a good point…I mean that's what the plan was for right.

"But what if you could tell her how you feel without getting caught? I mean if that ever happens would you dare to take the chance as you told me to do so?" asked Takeru anxious to hear Yamato's answer

"…" Yamato was silent he didn't know what to reply and he was shocked that his little brother was the one lecturing him about stuff like this, but it didn't take long before he found his voce again "Look, Takeru if I could tell her I would believe me. Problem is I can't and even if I really wanted to how could I?"

"That's why I'm asking that if you could tell her…if you had the chance right in front of you would you take the risk?" asked Takeru in a serious tone

"…Yes…I want to know how she feels but as I said I can't…" said Yamato, he didn't know where Takeru was getting to but if he was that serious about it then he might as well answer all of the questions. But he was still curious and asked "By the way, why is this so important to you all of a sudden?"

"Well for starters I wouldn't want you to end up marrying by next month and remain unhappy for the rest of your entire life. Second, do you really think that I want a sister-in-law that I know my brother doesn't love? And third I couldn't live with it if I knew you would miss your chance telling Sora how you feel if you were given the perfect opportunity." Explained Takeru then he spoke "Why don't you and I make a deal?"

"If I may ask…what kind of deal?" asked Yamato

"Well what if I promise you to tell Kari how I feel if you promise to tell Sora how you feel if you're ever given the chance." Said Takeru, all he had to do was make his brother say yes and things might just work out tomorrow

"…alright…" replied Yamato, he didn't really know what made him say yes and he also didn't know when he was going to have that opportunity anyway.

"Then it's settled then…oh and one more question…how do you feel about Sora anyway and I want to hear it from you." Said Takeru although he already knew the answer

"I…I…I love her. I know how I feel alright and this might be new to me but…I cant hide that as a fact." Said Yamato admittedly

"…that's all I needed to hear…don't worry big bother you never know that your next opportunity might be close by…see you later I have something I need to do." With that said Takeru left with a smile down his face leaving Yamato very confused

"I got what I came for big brother…I wan to see you happy and if Sora can make you happy then I'll do everything I can to help…and maybe I will take your advice on Kari and tell her…" thought Takeru as he went to go to his own room

In the village Sora was inside the flower shop but she closed up early since Mimi said that she was going to drop by today. Sora cleaned the place and made sure that her house was clean and tidy as always. Not too long later Mimi popped in and came to Sora with a happy smile.

"Hello Sor!" greeted Mimi

"Oh, hey Meems! Now what brings you hear today?" asked Sora

"Well I want to help you pick a dress of course!" said Mimi happily

"A dress?" asked Sora confused then she remembered…the ball…it was tomorrow and she just remembered how hyperactive Mimi could get about parties "Um…Meems is this really necessary?"

"Of course it is Sor! How could you go to the ball without a perfect dress? It just wouldn't be right!" said Mimi

"But what about you? Shouldn't you prepare as well? I mean…" Sora was about to continue but Mimi cut her off

"Oh Sor you know that I can prepare as fast as I always do. You're the one that I want to help right now." Said Mimi and she continued "Besides we have a lot to talk about."

"Huh? What do you…" but once again before she could ask, she was pulled out of the house and dragged outside by Mimi.

Sora and Mimi went to a nearby house and Sora asked "Meems where are we and where are you taking me?"

"I know someone with really good hands Sor she's the best dressmaker in town, she's a good seamstress too. And she's a good friend of ours around here." Said Mimi as she dragged Sora near the house

They knocked at the door and soon it was opened by a familiar face…their friend Jamie. She was shocked to see Mimi and Sora at her doorstep but she let them inside. Jamie gestured them to sit and then she spoke "Hey Mimi, Sora what brings you two here?"

"Jamie we need you to make Sor here a dress. It's for a special occasion." Said Mimi

"Oh really? Sure that's not a problem all I need is her measurements and we can get things started out. By the way do you have any idea what kind of dress you want?" asked Jamie, she had a talent in sewing and making clothes and that's what she does for a living to support the needs of her mother and little brother.

Sora thought for a moment and she asked for a piece of paper and a pencil, when she got it she started drawing a fine sketch of a dress which her two friends were watching her do "Anything simple would do. Can you make something like this?" asked Sora as she showed them her sketch

Mimi and Jamie looked at it and smiled, the dress wasn't too grand and it didn't need that much work. It was a simple dress with a few designs, the designs themselves were simple enough but as simple as it seems it fits Sora perfectly and it still pulled of looking like a very beautiful gown.

"Nice Sora…sure thing I can do this. What color do you want it in? Anything specific?" asked Jamie

"No not really, you can think of a good color for it Jamie and you can add designs if you want to, just please don't overdo it." Said Sora

"No problem I'll make your dress. When do you need it?" asked Jamie

"Sometime before tomorrow night. We'll come here and pick it up we need it as soon as it's finished." Said Mimi

"Okay come on Sora lets go and get your measurements for the dress so I can start working on it." Said Jamie as she led Sora and Mimi to her room where she kept all of her stuff

They all went to Jamie's room and she started the measurements and all the other preparations for making the dress. While she was doing so Mimi sat on a nearby chair and started talking "Alright Sor, tell me how long are you planning on keeping this to yourself?"

"What are you talking about Meems?" asked Sora confused

"Sora I know that you like him and Tai can see it as well, I'm pretty sure that you can too. You can't just hide it inside of you." Said Mimi, she knew that Jamie was listening and she didn't mind it either she was still their friend after all

"Meems please , not this topic again…" said Sora looking at Mimi

"Sor if you keep avoiding it this way nothings going to happen and you know it." Said Mimi knowing that Sora needs a push to the right direction "Sor he likes you, I just know he does."

"Even if that's true, are you forgetting one major detail? He's a prince remember and the fact that he's about to be married." As Sora said this Jamie stopped

"Hold it! The prince?" asked Jamie with a shocked expression "You like the prince? Wait you've met the prince?!?"

"Well…yes sort of. He kind of became our friend and Sora's denying her own feelings! Sor you said it he's about to be married that's why you have to do something before it's too late!" said Mimi looking at her friend, she cared for Sora and she didn't want to see her get hurt. "Sor if he feels the same way then you have nothing to worry about, because he'll be there for you he cares about you…a lot. Forget the fact that he's a price and just think of him as Yamato Ishida, he's still a person and just because his social status is different that doesn't mean that you cant care for each other. Would you really just want to see Yama waiting on the altar about to be married to Cassandra without doing anything about it?"

"…" Sora was silent, in truth she knew in her heart that if that happens it could end up tearing her apart, but what could she do? She's not of their standards could she really be allowed to love someone of royalty?

"Listen I know I don't know what's going on and I'm still confused, but Sora Mimi has a good point. You shouldn't give up on this just because of what others think about it, you should follow your heart." Said Jamie giving Sora a warm smile "Besides I've heard about Cassandra and she seems to cause a lot of trouble than peace and harmony."

"I…I think that…I think that I love him Meems…but I don't know if this is right. I mean he's already engaged and I have no right to just…" Sora was beginning to feel sad and felt as if she might want to cry but couldn't

"Oh Sor, love has no boundaries. You aren't controlled to love someone, it's your feelings and your heart that act on their own. Just because Yama is from the royal family that doesn't mean you can't love him and that he can't love you. And may I remind you that although he is getting married he's only doing this by force and not out of love from the heart." Said Mimi as she knew how Sora feels, at least she got somewhere and made her show her feelings at last.

"Mimi's right Sora just because the guy's rich doesn't mean that his feelings are bound to love only those of his own kind. Sometimes you may find love in the most unexpected places. Is this what the dress is for Mimi?" asked Jamie

"Yes, we're going to attend the engagement ball tomorrow." Said Mimi "And it'll be the first time we get to see Yamato after three days"

Engagement ball that hit Sora hard she just remembered what the ball was for and that was to announce Yamato's marriage with Cassandra and she felt hurt and lonely. Mimi saw through this and said "Don't worry Sor, we'll get through this together…all of us, we've made it through tough times then this should be a pinch. Just keep on believing and we'll make it through." She encouraged her friend

Soon the measurements and preparations for the dress making was finally over and Sora and Mimi could leave. "Don't worry I'll have he dress done in no time and oh yeah this is on me."

"W-what?!?" asked Sora

"It's really okay alright, just be ready for it and I still owe you Sora not to mention I want to help you out too." Said Jamie with a smile "Just be strong Sora."

"Thanks Jamie we really owe you one this time." Said Mimi then she added "Oh do you mind if you keep this conversation to yourself?"

"No problem you can count that in too. Your secret's safe with me, but follow your heart Sora remember that and if you guys want to talk or need anymore help just knock on my door." Said Jamie

"Sure you bet we will. Anyway thanks a lot Jamie we'll be going now." Said Mimi as she and Sora walked away and waved goodbye

"See you guys tomorrow! Be careful!" Jamie yelled

"We will bye!" Mimi yelled back they both kept walking and soon the two of them were out of sight.

Tai and the others were at the restaurant, their plan of closing early didn't work out so well. They got more customers than the usual unexpectedly and couldn't close on the spot, lucky for them they still had some time to talk with their friends about tomorrow night.

"Okay Koushiro did you have any time to find out about some sequences in the ball?" asked Tai as he looked at his friends

"Well Tai basically it's consists of some speeches from the family members and then there's the dancing part of it and of course the part where Yamato has to dance with Cassandra and Takeru has to dance with someone too." Explained Koushiro

"After the dancing they allow the guest to take the floor and some to even roam the castle especially if they're somewhat related to the family." Continued Ken

"Then we can make them split from there, since Jou's there and so is T.K and Yamato." Suggested Tai

"Not a bad idea, actually that might just be our only opening. Tai there's just one problem…" stated Koushiro

"What's that?" asked Tai

"Simple, how in the world are we supposed to distract Cassandra or more or less get away from her so she doesn't see us? We still have some issues with her remember?" Ken reminded Tai of the incident a few months ago

"Right…about that. I think we should think about her not seeing Yamato and Sor together rather than worrying about her seeing us. I mean this might be our first and last time inside the castle she has to put up a nice charade in front of others remember so we're practically safe from her as long we're in there." Said Tai thinking that if Cassandra finds out about Sora and Yamato things might get worse and they'd rather risk themselves being caught rather than ruin their whole purpose for the set-up.

"So basically we have to get Yama and Sor to a place where Cassandra wont be able o find them right?" asked Yolei

"Yup that's it, guys we have to make sure that this thing actually works. I want them to get somewhere. By now Meems is with Sor and hopefully talking some sense into her about her feelings." Said Tai

"Don't worry Tai, I'm a part of this too remember and I still have a relation with the royal family. Besides I'm quite sure that Takeru did his part in talking to Yamato." Said Jou as he was also a part of their conversation.

Soon, after hey talked only a few of them were left. Yolei was inside Kari's room and the two of them were having a friendly chat. They were both seated on Kari's bed when she spoke "I sure hope that the plan doesn't backfire." Said Kari looking at her bedside window as the fresh air blew inside her room.

"I'm sure we'll make something work, by the way Kari are you planning to tell T.K?" asked Yolei looking at Kari for she knew that Kari knows what she was talking about

"I don't know…but I also talked to Tai about it you know." Said Kari as she blushed

"Really? What did Tai say?" asked Yolei curiously

"Well he said that if I was sure I was feeling this way then I should fallow my heart and he would be there to support me all the way. It seemed as Tai already knew how I felt from the beginning and he was just waiting for me to realize it all on my own." Explained Kari, she was very happy indeed to have a brother like Tai

"That's great! Now that you have Tai's support then it would go well right?" asked Yolei

"I don't know I mean I want to hear it from T.K and not just form Tai. I want to know how he feels but at the same time I'm scared to find out. Not to mention the fact that I've been continuously reminded by my head that he's a prince and I'm just a…you know…we're worlds apart." Said Kari in a sad tone, she realized that she felt something for Takeru but the question is…could she? Is she allowed to?

"Come on Kari you're acting like Sor, if you really do feel something for him then you should at least give it a shot. I mean I think that he likes you too Kari." Said Yolei encouraging her friend, they could all see it without a doubt that Kari and T.K as well as Sor and Yama were jus hiding their feelings towards one another. "Oh and if ever you're worried about Davis, please don't be I'm pretty sure that he'll understand soon enough."

"Thanks Yolei, maybe if I get lucky I'll get somewhere too." Said Kari with a smile as she gave Yolei a hug

"No problem, don't loose hope Kari you never know when something might actually happen." Said Yolei hugging Kari back

"Yeah I guess you guys are right. It's not that I'm hiding it or anything I mean I already told Tai about it and you too, I'm pretty sure some of the others have figured it out as well. I guess that I'm just scared of the possible negative outcome." Explained Kari facing Yolei once more

"Well you shouldn't be, you know that we'll always be here for you and T.K will too I'm sure of it." Said Yolei

"Oh and Yolei…what about you? When are you planning to tell Ken anything?" asked Kari with a smile on her face

This time it was Yolei's turn to blush, her face was red at the sound of Ken's name and she answered "I- I'm not too sure either Kari…I…"

"Now it's my turn to tell you that I'm sure he likes you back. He's always been there for you hasn't he and he's always worried about you too." Said Kari

"Yeah I guess you have a good point there, but still…I don't want to end up ruining our friendship and such." Said Yolei

Kari giggled a little "I guess you're having problems too, just follow your heart as well Yolei, it has to happen sometime soon right. Just think about it okay?" said Kari with a warm smile

"Alright I will thanks a lot Kari." Said Yolei as she stood up from the bed where they were sitting and Yolei gave Kari another hug "I guess I better get going now, it's getting pretty dark out and I don't want to end up going home too late."

"Okay then, are you sure you that you can go alone? I could always go with you if you want me to." Offered Kari as she wished to accompany her friend

"Nah, if you do that ten you'll be the one who would end up going home alone and I doubt that Tai would allow that." Said Yolei

"Alright then I'll go with you downstairs. It's the least I could do for you." Said Kari as she and Yolei walked down to the front doors.

As the two girls got down they were surprised to see that Tai and Ken were still talking and the main fact that Ken was still there. "Oh hey you two, you going home Yolei?" asked Tai as he saw them come down

"Um…yeah…I'll be going Tai. See you guys around." As Yolei was about to leave she was stopped by no other than Ken

"Yolei wait! I'll go with you…I mean that…I'll walk you home if you want…" offered Ken as he was blushing

"Um…i-it's alright Ken I wouldn't want to trouble you…really I can go on my own." Said Yolei, she really didn't want to cause Ken any trouble

"N-no really I insist it's fine, it's getting dark anyways…would you like my company?" asked Ken

"Um…alright…i-if you really want to…thanks…," said Yolei as she could feel her face turning red as well

The two of them soon bid Tai and Kari their goodbye's and left. Tai and Kari were left in their own home and Tai asked "So what exactly did you two talk about?"

"Oh, nothing much just random stuff…and I told her that I talked to you…you know about T.K and she said the same thing you did…follow my heart." Said Kari

"You really should do that you know, think about it alright. I'll be here whenever you need me you could count on that." Assured Tai

"Yeah I know I can Tai, you've always been there for me ever since and you've never left me." Said Kari

"And I never intend to leave you." Said Tai smiling then he said "I hope things work out with Sora and Yamato I really do hope it does."

"Yeah I'm sure Meems talked to her by now and she's been doing a lot of thinking about it, it's not that hard o talk to Sor…you know Tai I never knew that I'd end up feeling all well…new and different for a prince…" said Kari

"Forget that he's a prince Kari, I mean we treat him like a normal person right. Besides if he cars about you as you do for him he could care less about your social stats and care about you for…well you." Said Tai and he added "Same goes for Yamato too, he'll fight for it I the end if he really does care about Sor, even though it may be hard I'm sure they'll make it because we'll be there for them and they'll be there for each other."

"Wow Tai, you're talking like a totally different person now. Where did you learn all that?" joked Kari

"That's just my smarts, I hide it on the inside and only use it when officially necessary." Said Tai

"Really?" asked Kari laughing a bit

"Why, of course. Do you doubt me?" asked Tai in a dramatic tone

"Nope, but I do think that you're getting carried away with the drama Tai." Said Kari "That's why I really love my big brother because he's always there to make me laugh too."

"Why thank you." Replied Tai

As the night went on all of them hoped that things would go well and all will eventually work out. They've already clarified their love for one another, question is will thy get a chance to admit how they feel? Will the ball and plan work? Will Takeru and Yamato finally tell Kari and Sora? Well they'll all have to wait for the ball to find out, and hopefully nothing goes wrong…
