Interesting Fair Day

Today's the day, the day of the awaited school fair. I looked at the clock, it was 5:45 am. No surprise there. I decided to wake up extra early today, knowing that Kari has to get ready too. Kari was still asleep right now, so I took this opportunity to take a shower first.

After I took my shower and got ready, I soon went over to the bed and woke up Kari. "Kari, Kari come on wake up." I told her as I shook her a little too.

"Hm, just five more minutes Tai…" she mumbled and turned to the other direction.

I smiled softly and thought "Even through times like this, she never fails to think of Tai…" I waited for a little while before I shook her again and spoke "Come now Kari, time to get up. We wouldn't want to be late now would we?"

Kari slowly opened her eyes. She blinked a few times and then rubbed her eyes before she sat up on the bed.

"Morning Sora…." She told me with a matching good morning smile she always has.

"Morning to you too. You awake now?" I asked, she still looked tired.

"Yeah, I'm fine now." Kari told me, she looked at me again and asked "You're done getting ready?"

"Well…" I started "I'm definitely done taking a shower and getting dressed, but there are still a few things I need to fix before we go." I told her.

"Oh, okay then." She stood up from the bed and smiled "I better get ready then. Thanks for waking me up Sor."

"Not a problem Kari." I replied.

"I saw Kari walk into the bathroom and it didn't take long before I heard the water running from the shower. I then walked over to my desk and took my cell phone. I opened it and decided to send Meems a message. She might not be awake yet, but I'd rather do this now than forget about it later on. So, I sent her a message that said:

"Meems. I can't wait to meet you guys at the fair. Kari's here and Tai and the others will be meeting us soon. Can't wait to meet you guys there. See you all later. ~Sora~ "

After that, I placed my phone inside my bag and began to pack up all the other stuff that I was going to need. Soon, I heard a door click open and I turned around to see Kari standing there, out of the bathroom, dressed and ready.

"I'm all done Sor, sorry to have made you wait for long." She told me.

"It was nothing Kari, I still had a lot of things to fix and take care of while I was waiting for you." I said with an assuring smile "I kept myself occupied, so don't worry about it alright?"

"Thanks again Sor." She told me. Kari then looked around the room and then asked "This place looks clean enough. So, can I ask? When are we leaving?"

I sighed. I looked over at the clock and it read 6:30 am. The school bell would usually ring at 7:15. "Tai and the others told me that they'd meet us here. I guess they're not done yet, seeing as we're still alone."

"Maybe they're all just running late. That or they could be waiting for Tai to get up." Kari told me "You know how Tai is with getting up early. He never was a morning person, and there's a chance he never will be."

"That's so true." I replied and we both laughed.

As if on cue, there was a sudden knock that came from the door. I glanced over at Kari and she giggled. I knew who knocked, who else could it have been if not Tai or any of the others?

"Looks like they're here Kari." I told her "Just in time too."

I went over to open the door, and just as expected, Tai and everyone else was standing there…

"Hey Sor!" Tai greeted me with his usual grin.

"Hey Tai." I replied and I turned to the others "Hey you guys!"

"Morning Sora!" they all said in unison.

"Morning to you guys too." I greeted again. "You're all up early I see."

"See?" said Tai "I told you I could get up early today."

"Sure you did, we had t almost break your door down." Said Yutaka with a grin.

"No you didn't." argued Tai.

"You're lucky you woke up and we didn't have to Tai." Said Takashi.

"Yeah, yeah." Replied Tai.

"Okay you guys, that's enough of that. Come inside?" I offered as I gestured to my room.

"Nah, we'll wait here Sor, but a big thanks for the offer." Said Tai with a thumbs up.

"So? You guys ready to go?" asked Akira.

"Yeah, we're all done, I just need to get all my things inside my room." I replied.

Suddenly, I noticed that someone was missing and I asked "Hey…just a question…where's…." I didn't get to finish what I was saying before someone cut me off…

"Looking for Yamato now aren't we?" teased Tai.

I felt my cheeks heat up again. "Why does this always happen to me whenever they talk about him?" I thought to myself. At the back of my mind, Tai was smirking, I knew he was, but I just kept quiet about it.

"Why so red Sor? You're not sick are you?" asked Tai again, still smirking.

"It's nothing." I muttered, then I asked again "So? Where is he really?"

"He went to set up early." Said T.K with a smile.

"I bet Yamato is already in school by now. He needed to set things up with the tech team." Said Akira.

"I see…" I replied.

Suddenly, Kari came out and spoke "Morning everyone."

"Morning Kari." Once again, they replied in unison.

"Morning everyone. Now that we're all here, shouldn't we get going?" It was Cassie. She was there too. Cassie just happened to come out of her room, which was in front of mine.

"Hey Cassie." Greeted Tai with a slight wave.

"Hey to you too Tai." Cassie replied.

"Come on everyone, she's right." Said Akira "We still have to finalize a lot of things for the opening."

"Let's not forget all hat we have to do for the concert on Opening Night." Said Takashi with a grin. Of course, they'd make a big deal about that, sine their and was playing.

"Let's get going then. No use in wasting any more time here." Said Tai.

And so, we all agreed to get going. When we arrived, the school was almost half empty. The students weren't in the halls or even running around in some of the classrooms. "Where is everyone?" I asked.
"Well, most of them are probably busy doing work in their assigned rooms." Said Tai with a shrug.

"It's been like this every year." Said Cassie.

"I see, no change?" I asked them.
"Nah." Said Tai "Why bother right?"

Later, Yutaka looked at his band mates, and they nodded. "Hey, we need to get going." Said Yutaka.

"Sorry if we suddenly need to leave and all, but Yamato's expecting us." Said Takashi.

"We better head there now." Said Akira "We wouldn't want to keep him waiting, and he might need our help too."

"Okay. Not a problem guys." I told them with a smile.

"Sorry for leaving all of a sudden but we seriously have to go." Said Yutaka as he laced a hand at the back of his head.

"See you guys later." Called Takashi as he started to walk away with the others.

"See you guys around." Said Tai as he waved goodbye to them and we did too.

As they left, I was left with Tai, Kari, T.K and Cassie. We continued to walk and make our way to the Home Economics Room.

"Wow Sora, I never knew that your school was this big on the inside." Said Kari in awe as she looked around the place.

"I was pretty shocked when I first got here too." I told her with a laugh.

"I'm surprised that you didn't get lost on your fist day." Said Kari.

"Well, I had a tour guide during my first day." I told her. "I was thankful. I bumped into Akira the day before I started my first day here. He game a tour on my first day."

"You can say it was also thanks to him that we met huh?" said Tai with a smile.

"Looks like you owe Akira a great deal of thanks." Said Kari.

"Yeah, I guess we do." Said Tai. "He was the one that brought you to the lunch table."

Tai and the rest of us continued to talk until we got to the Home Ec. Room. When we got there, most of our group mates were already preparing. Almost everyone was there, but one was missing….Sasha.

"She isn't here it seems." I told Tai.

He looked around too and he shrugged "Looks like she ditched us again, just like every other day we were preparing for this."

I sighed and asked someone who happened to pass by me "Hey, dud Sasha show up recently by any chance?" I ask.

"Nope, I don't think she did. She never did." Said the boy.

"Alright thanks." I replied with a smile.

"No problem. She probably isn't coming again today." He added "She never liked this idea and I doubt she will."

"Okay. Thanks again." I tell him.

"Well, see ya." He soon left and went to help the others.

"Looks like she seriously isn't going to show." I told Tai with a sigh "What's with her all the time Tai? She's just so…"

"Don't even continue that." He suddenly tells me "I have a lot of things to add to that sentence and you don't want to know…"

"Okay…" I replied and sweat dropped at the same time.

"You know Tai, if you dot like her so much…it's not that big of a deal." Said Cassie "We all have things we…don't like about others."

"Yeah, but I don't have something I like about her." Said Tai "Not a one."

"Really Tai?" asked Kari as she looked at him.

Tai replied "Yeah, really."

"Is she that bad of a person?" asked Kari "There has to be some good in her Tai, there's a good in everyone." That's just like something Kari would say.

"I never said there wasn't any good in her Kari. She just doesn't show it for some reason and it makes other people loathe her even more." Said Tai.

"Even if there really was, you'd have to look deep down, really deep down to get to see it." Said Cassie with a sigh "She's been that way since kindergarten."

"Ouch…never knew it lasted that long…" said Tai.

"Yeah, because you were never here those years." Said Cassie.

"Alright guys, it seriously looks like she isn't going to show." I told them. "Looks like we're down by one person."

"I'd be happy to help you Sora." Said Kari with a smile.

I couldn't let her do that, not because I'd think that she would mess something up, but because I didn't want her to tire herself because of this. So I spoke "Kari you don't have to do this." I told her.

"She's right." Agreed Tai "Leave this to us. You should rest while you still can, you'll be walking around later after all."

"Plus, this is when you should be enjoying yourself Kari. We wouldn't want you to work for it, we were the ones that invited you here." Said T.K agreeing with us "Making you work just because Sasha isn't here would be way too much to ask for."

"He makes a good point there Kari. You're a guest here, not a student." Said Cassie.

"I really do want to help. It's always fun making things with Sora." Said Kari in defense. Knowing her, she wasn't going to give this up, and I knew it.

"But Kari…" protested Tai.

He didn't get to finish his protest when she cut him off. "Please Tai…I'm sure I'd be just as fun. I love housework and things like this. They keep me occupied and I'd love to help."

"…" None of us said anything. We all stared at Tai, he makes the final decision here. Kari is his little sister after all. I looked at him and knew where this was going. Tai was loosing.

"Please let me help Tai?" asked Kari again.

It was like it was killing him, seeing his sister beg like that. She just had this look in her face you know? It made you feel so bad saying no to her, you were bound to say yes. You'd think because Tai was the older brother, he was inferior to this kind of thing, but no, you're dead wrong about that.

T.K and the others were just staring at the two, no clue to what was going to happen. Tai already had that 'must resist' thought in his head, it was quite obvious he did. I giggled as the scene began to unfold and Kari claimed her victory.

I watched them for a bit more and then, I began my countdown "3….2…..1…..and…now…" and I was right…

"Alright! You can help just…just stop looking at me like that!" said Tai with a sigh.

"Yay! Thanks Tai, you're the best." Said Kari with a huge smile as she gave Tai a big hug.

"Okay…that was…" Cassie didn't even know where to start…

"Wow, who knew Tai had such a weakness?" said T.K with a laugh.

"Alright guys, looks like Kari wins, she gets to help us out." I told them and then I looked at Kari and asked "Are you sure about this? We really don't mind you know."

"I'm sure. It's much more fun working with everyone than doing nothing." Said Kari.

"Okay then, if that's what you really want." I said giving in too. "But don't hesitate to tell us when you're tired or worn out okay?"

"Okay, I promise I won't." she told me.

In a sense, things were going well when we started working. That is when we started, not so much when we were in the middle of everything. Yes, we had kept our word, Kari was allowed to work with us. The problem? Things started to get awkward. Why you ask? It's simple really…boys.

Kari was being stared at by about half the boys in our group, and more. As usual, Tai didn't like it one bit. He was glaring at every single guy that gave Kari looks. I didn't like this either. I kept glancing at T.K, I knew he didn't expect this. He seemed…natural about it, but a bit of jealousy could also be seen in him.

"I knew it. This is why I hate it when Kari's around so many guys." Muttered Tai.

"Well, you seem okay with it when T.K stares at her." I told him while making one of the dishes.

"Yeah…well…T.K's different." He told me defensively.

"Why? Because he's Yama's little brother?" I asked him.

"That and the fact that…I just feel more comfortable when she's around T.K. I trust the guy with her okay?" said Tai admittedly.

"Well then, T.K's definitely one lucky guy. One, because he actually got your approval after so many others before him, and two, Kari's an amazing girl." I said with a smile.

"Yeah she is." Said Tai…and then he slightly turned to one of the guys again…typical Tai…

I laughed nervously before I heard him speak again "You know something Sora?" he told me.

I looked at him confused and asked "What's up Tai?"

"I think…and I'm sure many others would agree…that whoever ends up with you, is one heck of a lucky guy too." He said with a smile on his face.

I smiled too and spoke "Thanks for the compliment Tai, but that's highly unlikely that I'd be in a relationship anytime soon."

"Why is that?" asked Tai "Please don't tell me it's because you think you aren't good enough."

"Well, that's a part of it. I really am nothing special, I'm just like anybody else." I replied. I really didn't see why he thought I was special.

"Nothing special?!?" he said, he displayed shock all over his face and I couldn't help but laugh.

"What of it?" I asked again.

"Come on Sor, what planet did you come from? Of course your something special." Said Tai "Trust me, I know what I'm talking about."

"…" I kept silent, I didn't really know how to comment on that.

"Besides, I think there's this one guy…who's been trying hard to get your attention." Said Tai as he placed his hand on the back of his head.

That, caught my attention. "What's he talking about? Is he serious?" I thought to myself. "And even if he was…who is it?" I was curious, I couldn't help it.

"Hey Sora? You still there?" he asked. And I snapped away from my thoughts.

"Yes I am Tai. Still here." I replied with a smile.

"So? Did you hear what I just said?" he asked me. He was making sure if I was really listening or not.

"I assure you that I was listening. I just don't believe it is all." I told him.

"Jeez Sor why not?" asked Tai.

"Because it's just not believable Tai. And it might never be." I tell him.

"Come now, you're telling me that it's not possible for someone to like you? A guy to be specific." He stated.

I nodded and replied "Yes."

"This coming from the girl who had about half of the guys in campus to fall head over heals for her during her first few days in school." Said Tai.

"That…was a mere coincidence." I replied.

"Yeah it was." He said sarcastically.

"Tai, Sora." We turned to see T.K behind us.

"Something wrong Teeks?" asked Tai confused.

"Nope, the fair is about to begin and well, the booth is opening, so I should take some of the food to our booth downstairs by now." Said T.K.

"Oh yeah. Guess we all lost track of time huh." Said Tai.

"Will you be okay taking all those on your own T.K?" I asked and then offered "If you want, I can go there with you."

"It's alright Sora, I'm fine." Said T.K.

"I'll go with him Tai. Sora." It was Kari, she washed her hands in the sink and approached us. "I'll go with T.K." she offered.

"Oh, but…it's okay Kari…really." Said T.K, he was flushing.

"It wouldn't be right to go alone. And I'd be more than happy to go with you. I promised remember?" she told him with a smile.

"Promise?" Tai and I looked at each other and said in unison. "What promise?" we both asked.

"I promised something…and I want to keep it." Said Kari.

"W-well…" T.K was still a bit hesitant, he just didn't want her to go through all the trouble.

"Go on T.K." said Tai with a grin. "Just…take care of her."

"Tai?" asked T.K. It's like he couldn't believe Tai of al people was actually allowing this to happen.

"He's right, you should take her with you. She'll get a better view of the school that way too." I decided to back Tai up on this one.

"Okay…are you sure about this Kari?" asked T.K as she faced her.

"Yep, I'd be more than happy too." She replied.

"Go on, as your brother used to say…it's rude to turn down an offer from a beautiful lady." Said Tai as he tried to imitate it in a way Yama would have said it.

"Tai stop making jokes about Yama when he isn't here. It doesn't feel right." I told him, but I couldn't help but giggle a bit myself.

"Come on T.K, we better go." Suggested Kari.

"Be safe, and Kari, stay with T.K!" said Tai as the two began to walk out of the Home Ec. Room.

"Tai, she's in a school. She'll be fine." I said with a laugh.

"I know." Said Tai as he and I went back to continue our work.

"Why'd you let her go with T.K?" I asked with a grin "Finally letting her go?"

"No! Man Sor don't say it like that, you sound like she's getting married or something." Said Tai.

"Well you never let her go somewhere alone with a guy before. Except if it were Jou, Koushiro or any of the others including you." I told him with a shrug.

"Hey, technically, they aren't alone." Said Tai "They'll be going to the booth, that's all. And, she's much safer with him than of she stays here and have guys stare at her all day."

"Glad to know." I said with a laugh.

As the day went on, well we were as busy as everyone else. When we went down to the booth to check on how Kari and T.K were doing, the food was surely selling! Tai and I gave each other a high five. All our effort seemed to have paid off.

When it was about past lunch time, it was our turn for a break and we shuffled with our other group mates so we could roam around too. Then, when I was about to go with Tai, they came in.

"Hey Sor!" it was Meems and everyone else was with her!

"Meems!" I gave her a hug "You made it."

"I wouldn't miss it." She told me.

"So, is everyone here?" I asked.

"Yup, and I mean everyone, even Jim." Said Mimi with a smile "This fair of yours have drawn quite a crowd hasn't it?" she said as she looked around the place.

"Yeah it has, even I was shocked to see this much people in one place." I told her.

"Not a surprise there." She replied "I have to say, I'm impressed with what you guys did here. And I commend you on the food department thing, it was delicious."

"Thanks Meems. Tai and the others helped me out." I told her.

"That's a shocker. Tai actually made the food this time rather than eating it." She told me with a laugh.

"Yeah, well, he has his ways." I replied.

"So, I heard Yamato and the others are playing for your opening night thing." Said Meems and then she asked "By the way, where are they?"

"I…have no clue." I replied "I haven't seen Yama since this morning."

"Really now? He must be really busy." Said Meems "I bet this place is going to be filled with screaming fans by tonight."

"I'm pretty sure it will be." I replied in agreement. Any girl would be here if they knew that the Teenage Wolves were playing for Opening Night.

"I can't wait to see them play live. It's like watching one of their concerts." Said Meems.

"True, and they play really well too. Not a shock that they've got so many fans." I told her.

Meems and I started to walk around the fair and we went from one conversation to another. I told her about Kari and T.K and she seemed as shocked as me when I first found out about it.

"Seriously? Tai said that?" she asked me.

"Yeah. He trusts Kari with T.K more than anyone else now." I replied.

"My, I wonder how Davis is going to react to this." She said with a laugh. I never really thought of telling Davis about it, not until now.

Once again, the two of us continued to talk and when we were walking, we happened to bump into Yama and Koushiro.

"Hello ladies." Greeted Yama.

"Hey you guys." I greeted back.

"Um…" Meems started.

"Something wrong Meems?" I asked confused and a bit worried.

"Koushiro and I…we have something to do. We'll catch up with you guys later." Said Mimi.

"Oh…okay…" I replied, but a part of me knew this was way too sudden.

"Come on Koushiro, we better get going if we want to do this on time." Said Mimi "Plus, Tai's waiting for us."

"Alright." Said Koushiro calmly "See you later Sora, Yamato."

"Bye guys, and keep Sor company for me won't you Yamato? Thanks a lot." And with that Meems and Koushiro walked away…

I stared at the two as they disappeared and soon I looked at Yama and spoke "Well, I guess your stuck with me then."

"Yeah…I guess so." And then he flashed me that smile of his, and I think I was about to go crazy because my heart started beating faster.

Meanwhile Mimi's P.O.V

"Meems…" I looked at Koushiro as he spoke.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"When did we ever have something to do? And I don't remember Tai calling for us either." Said Koushiro with a smile.

"Oh, that." I replied "We don't have anything to do, and yes Tai never did call for us."

"You're just never going to give up on them are you Meems." He told me.

"Nope, not a chance." I replied sternly "This is too good to be true. Sora's already got someone who really likes her and she just doesn't want to admit it."

"Well, shouldn't we leave that to the two of them?" he suggested.

"That would be a good suggestion, but it'd probably take them decades to realize they have feelings for each other." I rplied.

"I see." He said and just smiled.

"I mean, look at it now, even Kari and T.K's gone way farther than they have." I said "There's just no getting through tot her."

"Maybe Tai's had some luck." Said Koushiro, Tai knew just as much as we did, maybe even more.

"Hopefully he has." I replied and I really did hope he has.

"Let's leave it to fate then Meems. It never hurts to wait and see what happens right? Things might turn out to be…interesting in the end." Said Koushiro.

"I just hope things turn out to be something in the end." I told him with a slight laugh.

"It will, something tells me it will." He assured me.

I simply nodded and gave him a smile. Something as bound to happen some time and maybe this fair would be the opening of new doors for those two, we never really know. I walked with Koushiro through the fair, not letting go of his hand. I just hope Sora and Yamato are making at least a bit of progress.

Back With Yamato and Sora

Sora's P.O.V.

Yama and I decided to walk around the fair and we started a little conversation of our own once Mimi and Koushiro were fully gone.

"So, where were you his morning?" I asked curiously "You didn't come with Tai and the others, so I figured you were busy?"

"Actually my schedule was packed this morning." Said Yama and then he grinned and spoke "Why do you ask? Did you happen to miss me?"

I blushed but I tried my best to hide it "W-well I was worried and all, I mean, it's not like you to not show up and…"

I suddenly heard him chuckle and he spoke again "Sor, I was only kidding. Don't sweat it." He told me.

I blushed again, I've been blushing a lot whenever Yamato was there. As much as I hated to admit it…there was this chance…just a chance that…I'm falling for Yamato…then it hit me…WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!?

Yamato's P.O.V

I saw that Sora was spacing out and I got a bit worried. So I asked "Sor? You okay?"

She seemed to have gone back to reality and replied "Yeah, don't worry about me, I'm feeling great."

"You sure?" I asked.

"Definitely." She replied with a smile. I loved it when she smiled the way she did. It made me smile too. It was contagious, in a good way.

"So, you're coming to Opening Night right?" I asked her.

"Of course, I wouldn't miss it." She told me and I was relieved, I really wanted her to go.

"That's great. The guys and I have been practicing and we hope that we're good enough for tonight's performance." I told her with a sigh. This day has just been tiring.

"Really, have you gotten enough rest?" she asked, she sounded concerned and worried, but that could have just been me and my hearing.

"Yeah I did, nothing to worry about." I replied with a smile.

I saw her blink and then she turned away from me, hiding something possibly? I didn't really know.

"Hey Sora…" I started.

"Huh?" She asked me, she was back to her old self again.

"Listen I…" I was supposed to tell her something important when my phone rang out of the blue. "Excuse me for a sec." I told her and answered my phone.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Dude, we need you here for sound check again." It was Takashi.

"Alright already I'll be there." I replied

"Thanks Yamato, see you in a few minutes alright?" and then he put down the phone just like that.

"Who was it?" Sora asked me.

"Takashi, I need to go." I felt bad for leaving her like this "Sorry Sor."

"No sweat Yama, you're busy I get it. You better get going." She told me with a smile.

I looked around and saw that there were few people in the area we were in. I don't know what came over me, because the next thing I did shocked even me.

I brushed a strand of her hair away from her face and then spoke "I'll see you tonight then?"

"Y-yeah…" she was stuttering and her face had a tint of red in it, it made her look cute.

My hand was still touching her cheek and then before she could utter another word…I kiss her…on the cheek of course, but still….

When I pulled away her eyes widened and I just smiled. "See you later Sora, be there alright?" and with that I dashed away…I smiled inside, I actually did something that felt right this time. I smiled and definitely couldn't wait for tonight, all I could hope for is that she didn't hate what I just did, because I definitely don't regret it…
