SIX MONTHS LATER.

Mimi sighed happily as she took a small bite out of her french fry. It was funny because before she started dating Matt, she never would have thought of eating something with so much calories. Lately though, with the constant love she felt from Matt, she felt good enough about herself that she let herself eat some unhealthy things as well.

Being with Matt had not only opened her eyes to different food, but different emotions as well. If you had asked her eight months ago, she would have told you the strongest emotion was or jealously, but she now knew it was would have never imagined that she was capable of loving a single human being so much.

Mimi and Matt were the most widely known couple in school. They were the center of gossip for months; the most popular heartthrob and the hottest girl in school were finally together. Matt and Mimi didn't care much for the attention, however. Although, for the first week the started going out, the absolute best feeling in the world were when Mimi would point Mimi out in a crowd and tell his friends that she was his girlfriend, with that proud smile on his face.

Mimi smiled as she watched Matt make his way back from the bathroom.

Her smile dropped as she saw the "Aw shucks" look on her boyfriend's face.

"What is it?"

Matt looked guilty. "I just got a call from the band. We have a gig, like, right now that I had forgotten about. So . . . I have to go. I'm really sorry."

"Oh, it's alright. I'll just call Beth and see what she's doing. Have fun." Mimi sighed irritability. She wasn't mad at Matt, not really, but she was annoyed.

Matt, sensing that something was wrong with his girlfriend, decided to make her laugh and promptly skipped out of the restaurant in a painfully obnoxious way. Mimi nearly choked on her soda laughing so hard.

Why did that boy make her keep falling in love with him, over and over again?

Kari changed her outfit for what seemed like the hundredth time. TK had finally asked her out yesterday. While she was getting ready, Tai was with TK in the hallway giving him the patented protective big brother speech.

She knew Tai was going on easy on TK because he was his friend and for that Kari was grateful. Kari finally decided on a suitable outfit and walked out of her room.

"So, in conclusion: you hurt her, you die."

Tai glanced over at Kari while TK visibly gulped. Tai's eyes glittered with amusement, "So Kari, you finally found an outfit. I mean, I know you spent your whole Saturday doing it, but really. I don't think TK is that superficial."

Kari blushed and glared at Tai. She quickly grabbed TK's hand and pulled him towards the door.

"Sorry about him," Kari apologized, "He's just being overprotective."

TK looked her up and down and grinned cheekily. "I can see why!"

Yolei sighed as she glanced at her watch impatiently.

Davis was late. Again.

She didn't know how she put up with him. Honestly, he was so annoying. Davis and Yolei maintained their love/hate relationship, but the only difference from their younger days was that now the love outweighed the hate.

Even though he was still the same soccer obsessed, goggle wearing doofus he was then, she couldn't help loving him. For everything he did wrong, he countered it with a sweet, sincere act.

Davis finally arrived, panting. He looked like he had run a marathon.

"Sorry I'm late," he wheezed, "but soccer pratice ran late and then I had to get changed and by that time it was already ten minutes and past and then I had to run over here and then," Davis stopped talking as he struggled to catch his breath.

Yolei giggled at the sight of her boyfriend. His hair was even worst than it usually was and it looked as if he thrown on the first mismatched outfit he saw (which he probably had).

But that was Davis for you. You had to take the good with the bad. Sometimes life was unexpected and sometimes that isn't so bad.

Sora looked happily at her boyfriend. Even after six months, she couldn't believe she could call him that. It sounded so good to her ears.

Besides her, Tai was napping after a long day of shopping. Tai was taking Sora out for their six month anniversary and Sora had wanted to find the perfect dress. Tai had complained and complained and Sora had finally snapped and told him to go home. Now, looking at him sleeping, she was glad she had.

It was funny because everyone thought Sora and Tai were some perfect couple with no problems. That was far from the truth. They fought, they yelled, but at the end of the day they still loved each other. They didn't live in some fairytale. They had problems. This wasn't some book, but both Sora and Tai were determined to get their Happily Ever After anyway.

And, so far, Sora figured they were pretty much on their way there.

IT IS OVER. CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON!

Ha. I am so funny. ;P
