Chapter Three: Rafting

"So who want's to go rafting?" Kelly had thought about what she'd heard, and decided on a plan.

"ME!" Everyone yelled out.

"And after that, we can play a couple games."

"Which games, Kelly?"

"Oh, some, Yolei."

"--to Davis--I've seen how she plays games, don't trust her."

"Why shouldn't I trust her, Yolei?"

"Yes, why shouldn't he trust me?"

"Um…uh…uh…"

"That's what I thought, cuz'. So, let's get in groups for the rafts. Let's see, Tai, Sora, Matt and Jenn will be in one boat. T.K., Kari, Ken, Yolei, Davis and I will be in another. And Izzy, Mimi, Joe, Mari, Cody and Nikki will be in the last. Got it? Good. Grab a life jacket and hop in a raft."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tai, Sora, Matt and Jenn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I wonder why Kelly put us in these groups."

"I think I know why, Tai."

"Why, Sora?"

"Oh no reason."

"I know you know, so tell me."

"What's to tell?"

"Yeah, there's nothing."

"Quit lying, you two. Tell me what you know."

"I'm telling you, nothing."

"Riiiight."

"Tai, drop it."

"Fine."

"Um, Tai, I think you need to steer now."

"Why…oh F***!" The boys' grabbed the paddles and started moving them rapidly.

Once they had dodged the rock, they started talking again. "Come on, tell me. Please."

"I don't know anything, Tai, so drop it."

"What, drop you in the water? Okay." The brown-haired boy pushed the girl in the water.

"TAICHI KAMIYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Tai, get her out of there."

"Why?"

"Because she's about to go into a rapid."

"Oh F***." He grabbed her arm and pulled her back in the raft.

"Tai, you shall suffer for that."

"How shall I suffer?"

"You'll find out, eventually."

"Gulp."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With T.K., Kari, Davis, Kelly, Ken and Yolei ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hah! You look like a drowned rat!"

"Shut up, Davis. I warn you, you will pay with your dignity!"

"I'm shaking in my life-jacket."

"Joke now, but you'll pay…you'll pay…"

"Right Ken, right."

"I mean it, Davis. You're going to wish you hadn't done that."

"RAPID!!!!!!"

"YOW! PADDLE!!!!" The three boys turned the paddles as fast as possible, trying to avert the white water, which they did.

"Hey, this place looks familiar."

"What're you talking about, Kari?"

"I think I've been here."

"How?"

"Well, once my parents took us to America, and we went rafting, or something. I can't really remember because I was like, 3. But Tai told me we went rafting, and I believed him. And this does look familiar."

"Well that's really interesting and…hey! It's the others. HEY!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Izzy, Mimi, Joe, Mari, Cody and Nikki ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey, isn't that T.K.?"

"Yeah, I think it is, Nik."

"Do not call me Nik, Mari."

"Whatever, but that's them. Let's paddle over."

"I have a question, how come Joe and me are the only ones paddling?"

"Because."

"That's not a valid answer, Mimi."

"Whatever."

"That isn't either."

"Just paddle Izzy!"

"Fine!"

"Ah, the couple's having a fight."

"SHUT UP!" Mimi and Izzy yelled out in unison.

"Whatever."

"If I hear `whatever' one more time I'll…"

"Whatever."

"RAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The red-head lunged at Mari.

"Back off, Izzy."

"Oh, my night in shining armor."

"I…um…uh…uh…um…um…uh&# 8230;"

"Just paddle you two."

"I…um…uh…right."

"Joe, shut up and paddle."

"Fine." The two older boys paddled towards the other raft.

"HEY!"

"HEY GUYS!"

"THERE'S A SPOT NEAR HERE WE CAN LAND!"

"GREAT!"

"WE'LL SEE YOU THERE!"

"OKAY!" The other boat rushed onwards.

"How `bout we race `em?"

"Sure, Meems."

"TALLYHO!"

"What…" Mari caught herself. "Whoops."

"I'm just going to paddle now."

"Good, Izzy. Just control your anger."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tai, Sora, Matt and Jenn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey, I recognize this place."

"What `re you talkin' `bout Tai?"

"I'm serious, I've been here before. When I was around 7 my parent's took Kari and me out to America. And I remember we went river rafting. If I remember right, there should be a good landing spot around here."

"Okay, what side?"

"The right side. There's a big clearing were we can eat, and a big rock jutting out we can dive off of, and…"

"Okay, okay. We get the point, Tai."

"So let's go!"

"All right, just point it out…"

"There it is! PADDLE!"

"You have a paddle too, so you help."

"All right, Matt, sheesh."

"Just paddle you two."

"ALL RIGHT!" They finally got there. And they saw T.K., Kari, ect.'s boat. The others landed. They set up lunch.

"Yum! Peanut butter burger buns. Love `em! (My Fave! () Let's eat!" Tai devoured his sandwich in two bites. "Delicious, yet un-filling. More please!"

"All…all right."

"Thanks!" He downed the second sandwich, and took a chug from his root beer. "Barques has bite. YOW!"

"What?"

"It has bite, and something bit me."

"Yeah, I believe that."

"Oh, shut up Sora."

"Don't tell me to shut up."

"Photos…Christmas Party…Don't mess with me."

"Fine, I'll shut up."

"Good. Hey, T.K., I wanna talk to you."

T.K. was still nervous around Tai, but chose to follow him. "O…okay."

"Come with me."

"Fine." They walked towards a rocky slope, and Tai started to walk/climb. "Why are you climbing?"

"Because, I want to show you something too." They just moved up the slope for a while, and eventually, they reached the top.

"Wow, it's…it's so, gorgeous up here. Gorgeous, like Kari."

"Now listen, Takashi, I'm still pissed at what happened, but I know you're a good guy, and that you'll treat my sister well. But what did you do last night?"

"Um, well, she sat down in my lap, and I put my arms around her. That's about it."

"Good. Now you're going to take her up here. Tell her you want to show her something, and that she has to close her eyes. Once you reach the top, tell her to open her eyes. She will think the sight is beautiful, and most likely give you a hug for being a great friend. Don't go loopy then, and stroke her hair and tell her your true feelings for her. I'm planing on doing something like that myself."

"With whom?"

"Um…Sora."

"Hah! I knew you liked her."

"Yeah, well…"

"Let's just go back there. I'll do what you told me, and then you do it."

"I will, I will."

"You better, I ain't doing alone."

"Don't worry, I've been planing this since I found out were this was."

"Riiiight."

"I'm serious."

"Whatever, let's just go back."

"All right." The two boys shambled down the hill and returned to the picnic site.

"So what did you two talk about?"

"Oh, nothing much. Just guy talk."

"--To Sora--That means us."

"--To Kari--I bet."

"He didn't hurt you, did he?"

"Why would I?"

"Because earlier you said you would kill him."

"So, I was super-pissed. I just found out something that I did not want to hear. That's all. I'm over that."

"Riiiight."

"What?! I am!"

T.K. walked over to Kari. He was turning crimson, and almost turned around, but Tai gave him a wink, and he walked over to the girl of his dreams. "Uh, Kari."

"Yeah T.K.?"

"Um, could you, uh, come with me?"

"Sure. Why?"

"Oh, I just wanna talk to you."

"All right." The young couple walked towards the slope.

"Careful, T.K.! You might have to beat that one off with a stick?" The younger blonde boy blushed a cherry red, and Kari clenched her fists.

"I HAVE INFORMATION TAI!" The girl's brother shrunk back down into his seat.
