“Digi-port open!” Yolei yelled.
It was a Sunday afternoon, and me and my friends were taking a trip to
the Digital World.
“Gatomon, stop fighting!! What’s
wrong?” I asked.
“Sorry, Kari. I’m just a
little excited about visiting Whamon. We
haven’t seen him since Ken became good,” she said.
“Oh yeah. I forgot we were
spending time with him today. I
guess my mind is somewhere else,” I replied.
“Oh, me too.
I can’t seem to concentrate on anything else but........” TK said.
“But...but what? What is
it you can’t take your mind off?” Yolei asked, impatiently.
“Oh nothing. Forget it.”
“Did you hear something?” I asked.
“No, Kari. I didn’t,”
whispered Gatomon.
“Oh. It’s just Ken and
Wormmon.” We continued to walk,
and walk, and walk.
“Hey!! I think we’ve
passed here before! Davis!!
You said you knew where to go!! Don’t
tell me we’re lost!?” yelped Yolei.
“Uhhh...don’t worry, Yolei. We’re
not lost. This way!” Davis
yelled. So, we started walking,
again.
“Lets see. The map says
Whamon’s place should be 3 miles West and 3 kilometres down.
Guess you’d better Digivolve, Armadillomon,” Cody said.
“Okie dokie! I’m on it!
Armadillomon Armor-Digivolve to...!
Submurimon.”
“Hey! You guys lookin’
for me!??” called a familiar voice.
“Whamon!” yelled everyone.
“Everybody hop in! I’ll
give ya a lift to my place!!” he yelled.
So, everybody got in and they were off.
“So, Whamon, what’cha been up to lately?” Davis asked.
“Well, lets see now. Eating,
eating, and more eating.”
“So thats why it’s taking so long to get there!” laughed Yolei.
“Hey now. Let’s be nice.
This is a FRIEND we’re talking to.
Not Davis,” I giggled.
“HEY!!! I’M STANDING
RIGHT HERE! I HEARD THAT!!” Davis
cried.
“Oh, we know,” TK laughed. And
we laughed the whole way there.
“Well, we’re here,” Whamon shouted.
“Everybody out!”
“Wow,” I gasped. “It’s
beautiful...!”
“Well, I have fixed it up a little.”
CRASH!
“W-w-w-what was that??” asked Yolei.
CRASH!! It came even louder.
“Oh no! It’s
Megaseadramon!” I yelled. I was
absolutely terrified. I had no idea
what to do. You see, my mind has
been on TK. I...you see...I like
him. I’m afraid to tell him
though...
“What’re we going to do!!?” TK yelled.
Little did I know that TK was busy thinking about ME.
“Submurimon! Get
‘im!!” Cody yelled.
“Here goes nothin’!” Submurimon shouted triumphantly.
“Oxygen Torpedo!!”
“Hurray!! Bullseye,
Submurimon!!” yelled Cody.
*Submurimon de-digivolves back to Armadillomon*
“Well now, I’ll show ya guys around...then we’ll have some Ice Tea
and cookies, that is, unless you guys want fish.
I have fishsicles, fried fish, burnt fish, you name it!” said Whamon.
“Uhh, I’ll have to pass on the fish ” I said.
“C’mon guys, I’ll give ya the grand tour!!” boasted Whamon.
Phew, when Whamon shows us to his room, I’ll talk to TK, I thought.
Say, uhh, Whamon...” I began, “Could you maybe show us to your
room?”
“Why certainly, Kari. Follow
me, everyone!” When we got to
Whamons’ room, I sat down.
“TK...” I said quietly, “We need to talk....”
“Sure, Kari. What’s up?"
“Listen, TK...”
“Yeah??”
“I...I.. ” I studdered, “I........I love you, TK.”
“...........” TK paused, his hand edging towards my arm.
“I love you too, Kari,” TK responded, his hand now on my fore-arm.
*I
smile and blush slightly*
*Me
and TK hug for several minutes*
“Kari,
how long have you cared for me?” TK asked once we were finished hugging.
“Since
I’ve known you, which would be almost 5 years,” I replied.
“Same
here. I’ve always loved you, and
I always will,” TK said.
“HEY!!
What are you guys doing? We’ve
been waiting for you!!” Yolei interrupted.
“Umm,
you guys wanna explain what this is about?” asked Yolei.
“Well...”
I began, “It’s a long, personal, complicated story, that I will tell you
sometime in a more private place.”
“You-you
are in love....aren’t you...?” asked Davis as he walked into the room.
“Yes,
Davis.....we are.”
*Davis
starts crying and runs off*
“Davis!
Wait!” I yelled. I started running after him, but I couldn’t catch up.
I ran out of breath, and stopped running.
“Kari!
Calm down. Come on...sit
down,” TK said soothingly. With that, he took my hand and sat down next to me.
“Is
everything ok?” asked Whamon, “Do you wanna talk about it? I’m a good listener, you know.”
“Whamon,
can you help me?” I asked.
“Sure!
Lets go in my room together, no one may come.
We’ll talk privately,” he replied.
We went to his room, shut the door, and sat down.
“Whamon,
I just told TK I loved him, and he said the same back,” I started.
“I
see, but what’s the problem with that?” he asked.
“Davis
found out, and I know that he loves me a lot.
He ran off crying, what do I do?” I asked worryingly.
“Hmm,
that’s quite the problem you have, Kari.
But...” he stopped suddenly.
“But
what?”
“...but
I can’t help you,” Whamon said in a low voice, “This is something only you
can figure out. You love TK, but
you Davis is your friend. You have
to decide wether you’re going to be with TK and let Davis’ feelings get
hurt, or you can just be friends with TK so you won’t hurt Davis.”
“Ohhh...I
don’t feel so well all of a sudden,” I said.
“That’s
because you’re nervous, you’re not sure what to do,” said Whamon.
Whamon left the room to let me lay down.
*TK
knocks on the door*
“Can
I come in?”
“Sure,
TK,” I said.
“Are
you ok, Kari? Tell me about it,”
TK said gently. He layed down
beside me, facing me while on his side.
Well, I love you, TK, but Davis really loves me., so now he’s really
upset. I really wanna be with you
without hurting Davis’ feelings,” I said.
“I
see. Well, why don’t you talk to
Davis about all this and see if you can’t just sort this out with him,” TK
said while holding my hand.
“TK,”
I said with tears in my eyes, “I love you so much!” * I jump forwards into
his arms and give him a huge hug*
“I love you too, Kari.” TK
bent forward, me ontop of him, and gave me a gentle kiss on the lip.
“Haaaa...”
I sighed, “Now I know what it’s like to be kissed by you.”
“Haha!
Likewise,” he said.
“We’re
only 12,” I said, “Do you think it’s ok to kiss like that?”
“I’m
not sure,” he said softly, his hand on my cheek, “All I know is, I love you.
You’re so pure and beautiful to me.”
“Thanks,”
I smiled.
“Anytime,
Kari. Anytime”
(Section
2)
“I
guess I’d better be going,” I said to TK.
“Wait!”
he yelled, grabbing my arm gently.
“Yeah?
What is it?” I asked, looking directly in his eyes.
“I,
I want you to have this,” he said. He
handed me his lucky, white hat.
“TK.....your
hat. A-are you sure you want to
give it to me?” I questioned
“Yes,
take it,” he said with a gentle smile on his face.
We kissed, than hugged.
“TK,
would you like to come to my place:” I asked.
“Wow!
Sure!”
“I’ll
call my mom and your mom to tell them, ok?”
“Ok,
Kari,” he said. So I dialed the
number.
“Hi,
mom,” I said.
“Hi, sweet pea!” she said, “What can I do for you?"
“Is it ok if TK comes over for dinner?"
“Sure,
sweetie! I’ll call his mom right
now to let her know!” she said cheerfully.
“Thanks!
Bye!” I said, “Ok, it’s all set!”
“Great!”
he yelled, “Let’s go!” and we were off.
“I’m
home!” I yelled as TK opened the door for me.
“Hey,
Kari,” said Tai, my older brother, “Tk, why are you here?”
“Uhh,
m-me and Kari...we’re in love, and she invited me over for dinner,” he said
uncomfortably. Tai fell over
laughing. It figures.
“TK,
let me out! I’m hungry and I need
to get some air!” Patamon whispered.
“Kari,
lets go to your room,” TK said, pointing to Patamon inside his bag.
“Oh,
right, over here,” I said, “C’mon in!”
“Thanks!”
he said. With that, we went in and
shut the door.
“Phew!
Finally! I was starting to
suffocate in there.” Said Patamon.
“Hey,
Kari, is there someone besides TK in there?” asked Tai.
“Just
Patamon and Gatomon,” I answered.
“Ohhh,
ok,” he said.
“So,
TK, this is my room, as you would’ve guessed,” I said anxiously.
“Yeah,”
TK said blushing.
“Kari,
why are you and TK acting so weird around each other?” asked Gatomon.
“We’re
in love, ok?” I whispered.
“Oh...”
Gatomon and Patamon said at the same time, “We’ll go visit Tai in his room
and leave you guys alone.”
“So,
umm,” I said as I sat down on my bed, “Just curious, do you like any other
girls beside me?”
“OF
COURSE NOT!!!” TK rushed, “Do you like any other boys beside me?”
“NO!!!”
I yelled, “TK, I want you to take this.”
“Huh?
Your pink hair barette?” he asked, “B-but you wear this everyday!”
“I
want you to keep it as a reminder of how much I love you,” I said as I put on
his hat.
“Hey,
Kari, why don’t you take a picture of us together?” TK asked.
“Sure!
Stand beside me,” I said as I leaned my head on TK’s shoulder,
“Camera’s all set! Say
cheese!”
“Cheese!”
we both said.
“I’ll
go develop it right now. I have a
dark room right over there,” I smiled.
“Ok,
I’ll wait,” he said. I walked
over and dipped it in the red water, then hung it up to dry.
“Huh?
TK, come look at this,” I said, pointing to the picture.
“Yeah?
What is it?” he asked.
“I-i-it’s
the ghost of Wizardmon in the picture right behind us,” I gasped,
“Wizardmon?? It’s me, Kari. Are you there?”
“Kari,”
said Wizardmon, “There is a disaster in the Digital World. You must hurry. Bring
your digi-vice. TK, you must go
too. Bring your digi-vice as
well.”
“We’re
going! Don’t worry, Wizardmon.
We’ll take care of everything,” TK said.
Wizardmon appeared in front of me.
“Kari,
you must bring Tai. He is the only
one who’ll know what to do. Now
go!” Wizardmon yelled.
“Tai!!”
I yelled as I burst into his room.
“What’s
wrong?!” he asked.
“Wizardmon,
his ghost came to me. He said there
was a disaster in the Digital World, and that you, TK and I are the ones that
have to go there. So hurry up!” I
yelled frantically.
“Ok!
Open the gate!!” he yelled.
“Digi-port
open!” I yelled. We got sucked
into the computer.
“What
area is this?” TK asked.
“I’m
not sure,” I whispered. BANG,
BANG! “Ahh!
What is that?!!”
“I-I
don’t know, but I think we’re about to find out,” Tai said. Just then, Agumon came running towards us with a huge Digimon
chasing after him. “Agumon!”
Tai yelled.
“Tai!
Help me!” Agumon yelled, “It’s Apemon, he won’t stop chasing
me!”
“Patamon!
You’ve got to digi-volve now!” TK yelled.
“Ok.
Patamon, digi-volve to...! Angemon.”
*Apemon
uses one of his attacks and ends up hitting me to the ground*
“Uh!”
I yelled as I hit the ground.
“KARI!!!”
TK cried, “Oh no, are you ok???”
“You’ve
got t-to stop h-him. He-he’s very
p-p-powerful,” I said with my last ounce of strength. Then, I collapsed, and fell unconcious, “Uh..”
“Kari! Wake-up!” TK
yelled, tears filling his eyes, “Tai! Make
Agumon Warp digi-volve to defeat Apemon!"
“Ok!
Hit it, Agumon!”
“Agumon,
Warp digi-volve to...! Wargreymon.”
*Wargreymon
defeats Apemon and turns back to Koromon*
“Wake-up,
Kari!” Tai yelled.
“We’ve
got to get her back home! Help me
carry her!” TK yelled, his face tear stained.
They
carried me back to the TV and opened the gate back home. Then, they laid me down in bed and waited for me to wake-up.
“She’s
badly hurt. Go get the first aid kit!” Tai ordered.
“Here!
Lets bandage her up before she bleeds any longer!” TK said.
So they bandaged me up. About
an hour and a half later, I woke-up.
“Uhhh,
what happened?” I asked when I came to.
“You
were hit by Apemon’s attack,” TK said gently while squeezing my hand.
“Oh,
I remember now. Where’s Tai?” I
asked.
“Oh,
he went to go eat dinner, but I wanted to stay here with you to make sure
you’d be alright,” TK said softly.
“Ah,
what a dope. The only thing he
cares about is his stomach,” I giggled.
“Hahaha!
Yeah. The only thing I care about
is you,” he said. He leaned down
and kissed me on the cheek.
“Thanks,
TK,” I blushed.
“You’re
welcome, oh yeah, I brought you some food.
Here, lemme help you sit up,” said TK gently.
“Wah!
OWW!!” I said as I tried to sit up.
“Oh
no! You must’ve broken your
arm!” TK answered as he reached to help me.
“Ohh,
I’ll be ok,” I groaned.
“Here,
sit up as far as you can, and move over. I’ll
crawl into your bed and hold you up.
Is that ok with you?” asked TK.
“Sure!”
I said. I couldn’t take my eyes
off TK. He couldn’t take his eyes
off me. He crawled into my bed, and
got next to me. He held me up so I
could eat.
“Oh,
Kari. You’re so gentle, kind and
beautiful,” TK said as he stroked through my hair.
“Aw,
thanks. You’re gentle, kind and
handsome,” I replied.
“Thanks,
Kari,” he said, “Are you done eating? I
can take your plate into the kitchen.”
“Actually,
I am done. Here, you can take it to
the kitchen, then come right back,” I answered.
“Ok,”
TK said. He smiled, then walked
through the door to the kitchen.
(Section
3)
“Back!”
he yelled when he came into my room. “Are
you feeling any better?”
“Not
really,” I moaned. “TK, could
you maybe stay the here for the night?”
“Ok!
I’ll go tell your mom!” he cried happily.
“Ok.
Come right back though. I
have a surprise for you,” I said. He
burst through the door, then came right back.
I was in my pajamas at the time.
“I’m
back, Kari. What’s the
surprise?” he asked. He sat next
to me on the bed.
*I
jumped into his arms and gave him a huge kiss.
He ended up falling over*
“WOW!!”
he cried, “That was amazing!”
“Teehee.
Oww!” I screamed. Tai burst through the door.
“Are
you ok??!” Tai asked.
“She
fell unconscious again. She’s
burning up!” TK yelled.
“I’ll
go get my mom!” Tai yelled. “Mom!
Mom! Something’s wrong
with Kari!”
“Oh
no! Get the phone! Call an ambulance!” my mom screamed. Tai dialed an ambulance.
Soon after, it arrived at the house.
“What’s
wrong with her???!!” asked TK. “I
love her too much to see her like this!”
“Uhh,
where am I?” I asked.
“You’re
in the hospital, sweetie,” said my mom.
“Why
am I here?” I asked. “Is it the
Pnemonia again?”
“Yeah,”
said TK. “They’re giving you
medication. You’ll be ok
though.”
“Matt,
Davis, Yolei, Cody, Joe, Izzy, Sora, Mimi and Ken?
What are you guys doing here?” I asked quietly.
“We
heard about your episode, and we were worried about you,” Ken said.
“Well,
it’s nice to have you guys here,” I said, “Do any of you know when I can
go home?”
“Well,
the doctor said that if your feeling well enough, you could go home right
now,” said Davis
“Well,
I’m feeling well enough. Before
we leave, I need to talk to Davis alone for a minute,” I replied. Everyone left for me to talk to Davis.
“Davis,
about TK and I...” I began, “We really love each other, but I don’t want
you to be upset with it. If there
is anything I can do to make things right, tell me right now.”
“Well,
could you maybe...give me a small kiss on the cheek?” he asked.
“I
guess so. Lean forward,” I said.
He got close to me, and I kissed him on the cheek.
“Alright!”
he yelled. “Can we go now?
I don’t want to stay in the hospital any longer.
I have some dessert at home that I need to eat!”
“Sure.
Go get TK, then you can go,” I laughed.
So, we went home, and me and TK got on the couch and watched TV.
I cuddled up on his shoulder.
“So,
what do you want to watch?” TK asked.
“Well,
I think Radio Active is on if you like that,” I said tiredly, “Or, we could
just go to bed.”
“Yeah,
you’ve had a long, exhausting day. I’ll
go to bed if that’s what you need to do,” TK said.
“Ok,
I’ll go get ready for bed in the washroom.
You can change in my room if you want,” I replied.
“Ok.
If you want, I’ll walk you to the bathroom to make sure you’ll be ok
walking over there,” he said with a smile.
“Sure!”
I answered, “My legs are a little weak from having the Pneumonia.”
So he helped me walk to the bathroom, then he went to get changed in my
room.
“Gatomon,”
I started saying as I was getting into my pajama’s, “Do you think me and TK
are a good couple?”
“Well
sure, Kari. Me and Patamon get
along, and you two lovebirds get along wonderfully,” Gatomon replied.
“Yeah,”
I smiled dreamily. The pajama’s I
was wearing were my favourite; a purple tanktop with a single red rose, and my
matching pants. I got ready and
went back to my room where TK was.
“Oh
hi, Kari!” he said. “I was just
unrolling my sleeping bag.”
“Umm,
if you want, you can sleep on my bed. It’s
big enough for both of us,” I said blushing.
I was a bit nervous.
“Your
BED? Along with YOU??!” he asked
amazed.
“Um,
yeah, if you’re comfortable with that,” I said shyly.
“Sure,”
he said. He was wearing green and
black checkered pants with a dark red T-shirt.
I climbed into bed, and he crawled in next to me.
I held his hand under the covers, and snuggled over next to his arm.
“I
like your pajama’s,” he whispered.
“Thanks,”
I whispered back. TK rolled over,
very close to me. He put his hand
on my shoulder, and moved my shirt down my arm to my elbow. He moved my hair, and kissed my neck gently, then moved my
shirt back up to my shoulder. TK
got on top of me, and started kissing me while I put my arms around him.
“Oh,
TK. I love you!!” I said.
“I
love you too! Now you better get
some sleep,” he said softly. So,
we went to sleep.
The
next morning...
“Good
morning,” TK whispered in my ear.
“Humm,
good morning,” I replied as I opened my eyes.
“About
last night..” he began, “I’m sorry. I
just love you so much! I lost
control, and kissed you.”
“It’s
ok! I understand,” I said when I
sat up. “Lets go get some
breakfast.” We went into the
kitchen and sat down.
“So,
what would you like to eat?” Tai asked. “I
can make toast, eggs, and bacon, or you can grab some cereal.”
“Bacon
and eggs, please,” TK said.
“Yeah,
I’ll have that too,” I said.
“So,
do you two have any plans for today?” Tai asked.
“Nope.
We’ll just stay in and listen to tunes in my room,” I said as I
looked at TK. I winked and he
winked back. Back in my room,
Gatomon and Patamon looked at each other, both confused.
“Why’d they wink?” asked Patamon.
“I’m
not sure, Patamon,” Gatomon said, “I’m not sure.
