A.N: Okay, this story is a cute 'lil romance thing with just a touch of humor.(Mainly from Tai) Sorry, but I had to fix something, so I reposted it. Please enjoy........
As Simple As A Date Can Be
'Ring….. Ring….. Ring….'
TK waited impatiently on his end of the phone. It was already at three rings. He began to get nervous. Four rings. Maybe she wouldn't be there. Five rings. She's probably not home. Six rings. He should hang up-
"Hello? Kamiya residence. Kari speaking."
The blonde boy lost all of his words.
'What should I say?' he asked himself. Sure, he had called for a reason, but it was a little bitnerve-racking. His plan was to ask Kari on a date. It may sound simple, but for TK it was the hardest thing on the planet.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" Came Kari's voice again. That was when TK realized he still had said nothing.
"Umm…. H-hi, K-kari. It's uhh…. TK," Having a shaky voice was an understatement.
The brunette's voice became cheerful. "Oh hey TK! It's great to hear from you. What's up?"
' Well, at least she's in a good mood. Maybe I should ask slowly into the conversation…. But that never works. Right now. I have to ask her out now or I'll chicken out again. NOW!'
TK's mouth opened, but the voice heard was Kari's.
"So, are you doing anything on Friday night? I was wondering if you'd like to go out or something."
The young teenager was caught off guard. Inside he was rejoicing. But he knew he had to answer. His voice allowed a small 'Sure!' to slip out.
"Great. How about you pick me up around 5 ish?" Kari wanted to say more to not sound so rudebut her mother was calling her. "Umm, sorry TK. I have to go. See you on Friday!" There was click, soon followed by a dial tone. TK hung up the phone, still in shock.
Matt, who was in the room, looked up from the magazine he was reading. On his face played a concerned smile. "Well, why didn't you ask her? What's going on?"
"I got a date," He said quietly.
Matt could not hear what his baby brother had said. He was going to ask again, when TK began to jump around his father's apartment shouting out "I have a date! I have a date with Kari!"
Matt chuckled. 'This should be news for Tai…'
--
Matt was right. Tai had always been a protective older brother. He had watched over Kari as she did practically everything new. But, a date was something Tai was not ready for.
"Umm… Kari. Don't you think you are rushing things?" Tai said after he was told the news of the date.
"I'm four-teen, Tai," Kari laughed. "Besides, you dated when you were my age."
"But… But…. But…" Tai could not make up his mind on what to say.
"Oh, I gotta go and pick out my outfit for Friday!" She said while leaving Tai in the dinning room.
Her older brother quickly shouted to her in a serious tone. "It better not be anything skimpy!"
Kari just giggled and waved her hand to him as she stepped into her bedroom. She loved playing with her brother like that. She knew he would most likely inspect her clothing before she left anyway. Kari's outfit was going to be a nice knee length black skirt with a baby pink string top. She would also wear a white sweater above it. It was the perfect 'non-showing' outfit.
But, just to tease Tai, she was going to put out her teal strapless top and orange short shorts that said 'kiss' on the bottom. She only wore those as pajamas, but her bro did not know it.
'When Tai sees this, I am going to laugh so hard at his expression,' She thought amusingly.
----------
Well, Friday rolled around and Kari went into the bathroom to fix her hair and change into her fake clothes. When she stepped out, she asked Tai what he thought.
Tai's first reaction to her clothes made him take a blanket and throw it at her.
"You are not wearing that!" He ordered. His parents were out and it was his responsibility to take care of his little sister. "I can't believe you were going to wear that! Good thing I was here to stop you."
Though she tried, Kari could not help but laugh. Tai's face was so perfect she wished she had her camera at that very moment. Finally, she stopped her laugh to look at her brother's stern face. She tried to explain, but Tai just pointed to her room. Kari nodded and walked in to get changed again.

"Matt, are you sure I should use this styling gel?" TK asked his brother as a glob of gel fell on to his spiky blonde hair.
"It makes you look great! Kari will love it," Matt declared as he spiked the front and patted the back down.
Soon, TK who was dressed up really snazzy was ready to go over to Kari's apartment. As he was leaving, he turned back to Matt, Gabumon and Patamon. They all just gave him a thumbs up.
The blonde boy walked down the street with a bouquet of tulips in his hands. It was Patamon's idea for the tulips. Soon, he would reach the Kamiya residence.
--
Kari finally came out of her room wearing her real clothing. Tai still looked dissatisfied.
"Do you have anything else that's less revealing?" Tai wondered aloud as he saw her skirt and spaghetti strap shirt.
"Sheesh Tai! What do you want me to wear? Winter clothes?" Kari exclaimed as she reached for her sweater.
"If it's not to much trouble…" Tai said semi-jokingly. He barely dodged a flying pillow at his head. Tai raised his hands in the air. "Fine! I give. I give."
Kari smiled triumphantly. Then the apartment doorbell rang. Tai slowly strolled over to the door and opened it. He kindly greeted TK. The blonde boy knew how protective Tai could be and so he became a little shy. But before Tai could begin a lecture on what not to do, Kari pushed him out of the way.
"Hello TK," She greeted happily. When she looked at his hair she couldn't help but ask. "Did you do your hair or… Matt?"
The blonde boy laughed. "Matt."
"Remember Kari," Tai told her. "Don't do anything bad. Should I go down the list again?"
Kari was starting to get fed up with him. "Tai, please. Just let me go out with TK. While I am gone, I want you to relax. Got it?"
The brunette boy hated to admit it, but she was right. He nodded his head and smiled warmly at TK. "Have fun you two."
They both thanked him, and then TK allowed his date to go ahead of him. As they walked off, Tai closed the door and sighed.
He walked over to the kitchen phone. He picked it up and dialed his best-friends number.
"Hello. Sora speaking," Said the red-haired girl on the other end of the phone.
"Hey, Sora. It's Tai. I was wondering…. Are you free for a spy outing tonight?"
A.N: Hehehehe. I enjoyed writing this. Should I make another chapter to see how the date unfolds? I was unsure if it was good enough to continue, but if you want me to, I'll gladly do it. Please Review!
