It's been a while since I updated but here's a treat. Enjoy.

Part Six: Jello

"Teeks, Teeks! Overhere!" Matt waved his hand frantically around at the cluster of people walking out of the terminal getting several awkward glances.

"Hey Matt." Tk walked over to his brother and gave him a tight hug. "I didn't think you'd be the one picking me up from the airport."

"I know, I know. I'm not Kari and you're disappointed you can't go make out in the car," Matt teased, "but don't worry you'll see her in a bit."

"So, she still wants to see me?" Tk asked awkwardly.

"Yeah, why? Is something going on?" Matt was concerned and was walking his brother carefully as they waited for his luggage.

"No and yes," Tk paused, "we sort of had another argument. I'm not sure if we made up or not."

"I have to admit it, bro, I'm a bit stunned. It seems like you and Kari have been arguing a lot lately; you never argued in high school."

"We also weren't dating or thousands of miles apart." Tk informed sadly.

"Yeah, I suppose that puts a damper on things." Matt said.

"Any advice?" Tk asked. His brother was the king of getting girls - not that he held onto anyone for too long.

"Not really...well..." Matt's mind drifted off in thought.

"Well what?" Tk asked. He'd just grabbed his suitcase and they were walking towards the parking garage.

"I dated this girl, Shiharu, for a few months. She was a model obsessed with her weight so ate jello most of the time. However, she was also a bit nuts and could only eat jello that was layered blue, red, and yellow - in that exact order.

"One day Shiharu called me up crying saying she needed jello; so of course I offered to make it for her for when she got off work. I had no idea it was so meticulous. I couldn't just mix all three colors together. No, first I had to make a layer of blue jello and wait for it too solidify. But, I didn't wait long enough so when I added the red layer it melted the blue and began to mix - I had to start all over!

"By the time Shiharu got home I still hadn't finished her jello. She was a little bit aggravated but she saw how hard I was working and forgave me. And by this point I was so frustrated but determined that I stayed up all night to finish the jello. When Shiharu got up in the morning to see her completely jello in the fridge she was so happy - I mean like really, really happy. She gave me a reward if you know what I mean." Matt winked and Tk rolled his eyes.

"The point is that I didn't give up. It took a ton of effort and made me hella mad, but in the end it was worth every second. I think girls are like that in general: they take a lot of effort and make us mad, but what would we do without them? I, for one, don't want to find out."

"Yeah, I know you're right." Tk sighed. He and Matt jumped into Matt's car and chatting on the car ride home about life, love, and other important things. Then, to Tk's surprise, Matt stopped the car. "What are you doing?"

"You're going in there." Matt nodded his head towards a flower shop.

"You don't have enough time to make some jello, plus I doubt Kari would understand, but buying flowers will definitely send the message, I love you."

"Alright." Tk said getting out of the car and entering the shop alone. He picked out a fresh bouquet of calla lilies and brought them back to the car. Matt drove him the rest of the way to Kari's apartment. "You're not coming in?" Tk asked.

"Nope, we'll hang out tomorrow. Go make her happy." Matt smiled and drove away.

Tk took a deep breath and then walked the few flights up to Kari's apartment. He took another deep breath before knocking on the door. To his surprise it flew open immediately.

"Tk!" Kari yelled and immediately wrapped his arms around his waist making him drop his bag and the flowers. "I missed you so much!"

"You're not mad." Tk said while hugging her back.

"No, we were both just being stupid. I want to forget about all of our fights."

"Me too, Kari. I really just want to make this work."

Kari let go of Tk so he could enter her flat and finally noticed the flowers. Tk picked them up and handed them to her. "You're too sweet." She said as she reached for his hand and pulled him inward. Once inside the flat she put the flowers on the counter and forced Tk to drop his bag on the floor again. Then she brought down his head into a deep kiss. From the passion inside that kiss, both Tk and Kari knew that they would make it. Their relationship would last.
