DigiDestined ages:

Tai, Matt, & Sora – 17

Izzy & Mimi – 16

Joe – 18

T.K., Kari, & Davis – 14

Yolei & Ken – 15

Cody – 12

T.K. Takaishi sat in his room. It was Saturday evening and he was really bored. Usually he'd be with the other DigiDestined in the Digital World; however, the gate was closed for unknown reasons. Next to T.K. was a sleeping Patamon, whose snoring T.K. thought was rather adorable. Suddenly, T.K. had an idea. Just because he couldn't actually go to the Digital World didn't mean he couldn't hang out with his friends. He decided he would give them a call. He picked up his cell phone and dialed Davis Motomiya's number. Mind you, Davis and T.K.'s rivalry died down a bit and they became closer friends.

"Hey, this is Davis. I'm not available right now. Just leave a message. Bye." Davis' answering machine said.

"Hey Davis. It's T.K. Call me back if you get this. See ya." T.K. hung up. "I'll try Yolei."

"Hi, this is Yolei Inoue. I'm not here at the moment. Leave me a message and I'll get back to you later."

T.K. was growing a little frustrated. "Another answering machine. Oh, uh, hey Yolei, this is T.K. Call me back later if you get this. Okay, bye."

"Cody next…except he doesn't have a cell phone yet. I'll just call his house."

He dialed the Hida's house and a woman's voice was heard on the other line. "Hello, Hida residence."

"Is this Cody's mother?"

"Yes. Who is this?"

"I'm his friend, T.K. Takaishi. Is he there?"

"I'm sorry, but Cody's at kendo practice. Do you want me to give him a message?"

"Just tell him I called."

"Okay, I'll tell him. Good-bye, T.K."

"Thanks, Ms. Hida. Bye." T.K. hung up. "Cody's always at kendo practice when he's not in the Digital World!" T.K. sighed in exasperation.

How about Ken? Wait, no. He's probably busy. (A/N: Ken moved to Odaiba nine months after the DigiDestined defeated MaloMyotismon.) What about Sora, Izzy, or Joe? Nah, they're probably busy with stuff. Especially Joe. He works harder than almost anyone I know. I know Matt's busy with his band, and Mimi's in New York. I'll call Tai and Kari. They're bound to answer. He dialed the Kamiya's home phone. On the other side of the line was a very distinct voice.

"Hello, Kamiya residence."

"Is that you, Tai?" T.K. asked.

"Who's this?" Tai asked.

"It's me, T.K."

"Hey, T.K., what's up? Do you want to talk to Kari?"

"Yeah, is she there?"

"Yeah, just a sec, T.K." T.K. could hear Tai yelling for Kari.

"KARI! T.K.'S ON THE PHONE FOR YOU!" Tai yelled.

Kari jumped up from her bed, startling Gatomon, who was taking a catnap. "Kari, are you okay?" Gatomon asked.

"Yeah, I'm wanted on the phone, silly. Go back to sleep."

The only time Kari gets this excited to talk on the phone is if it's T.K. Gatomon thought.

"Hey, T.K., what's up?"

"Hey, Kari. You and Tai are the only one of the DigiDestined I've been able to get a hold of."

"Yeah, Davis is at a soccer tournament out of the country, and Yolei's visiting Mimi in New York. Ken's busy with a speech tournament, and Cody's probably at kendo."

"Yeah, Cody always seems to be at kendo practice when we're not in the Digital World." T.K. said, making Kari chuckle. All of the older DigiDestined are busy too. So I'm glad I got a hold of someone."

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Kari wondered.

"My mom's out late again, and Patamon's asleep. I'm kind of bored here. I was wondering if you want to come over and hang out."

"Sure, I'm not doing anything. I'll be over there after dinner."

"What'cha having?" T.K. asked.

"Potato leek soup."

"That sounds pretty good. I presume it's not your mom making it?" T.K. teased. Kari laughed, both her and T.K. knowing full well that Ms. Kamiya couldn't cook to save her life.

"No, Tai's making it. I'll be over at about 7:00. Does that sound okay?"

"That's great. I'll see you then! Do you want to bring Gatomon? Patamon probably wants someone to play with too."

"She's probably really like that. I'll bring her along. See you at 7:00!"

"Bye Kari."

Kari hung up the phone. "I'm going over to T.K.'s after dinner."

"Okay, but make sure you're back by midnight. Mom left me in charge, and I care about your safety."

"Don't worry about me, Tai. You know T.K. cares just as much about me as you do. Is the soup almost done?" Kari asked.

"Almost. Why, are you in a hurry to get to T.K.'s?"

Kari blushed. "That's not funny, Tai!"

"What, I can't joke around with my sister?" Tai pestered.

"T.K. and I are just friends." Kari sighed.

"Yeah, that's what they all say. Dinner will be ready in three minutes."

After dinner, Kari went into her room and woke up Gatomon. "T.K. invited us to his house. He said Patamon's bored and needs someone to play with. Wanna come?"

"Sure."

"Okay then. Let's go."


It was about 7:00. T.K. heard a knock at his door. "Must be Kari and Gatomon. Patamon! Gatomon's here!" This was enough to wake Patamon up, just hearing Gatomon's name. He flew into the living room as T.K. was opening the door to let them in.

"Hey, Kari. You know you don't have to knock when you come over."

"I'm just being polite, silly." Kari let Gatomon down and she ran over and immediately started playing on the ground with Patamon.

"Hey Gatomon! I didn't know you were coming over."

"Me either. Until Kari told me we were. Come on, let's go to the backyard and play." Gatomon suggested.

"T.K., Gatomon and I are going to play in the backyard."

"Okay, have fun!" T.K. said. "It's almost like having children…" T.K. mumbled.

"What?" Kari looked at him.

"Uh…nothing." T.K. went a little frantic but shortly regained his composure. "Anyway, what do you wanna do?"

"Got any good movies?" Kari asked.

"I'll watch whatever. The DVD's are in that cabinet if you want to check it out."

Kari crawled over to the DVD cabinet. She looked through all of the movies. "How about Les Mis? I love this movie!" (A/N: This is the 10th Anniversary concert version of Les Misérables, not the one with Hugh Jackman. It was a good movie, but I prefer the concert version.)

"Sure. That's a good one." T.K. took the DVD from Kari and put it in the player. "Want some popcorn?"

"No thanks, T.K. Too much butter and salt can make me super thirsty."

"Okay. How about just some soda? I've got Sprite, Root Beer, Dr. Pepper, or Mt. Dew…but that one's really caffeinated."

"I'll just have a Root Beer." Kari said.

T.K. sat down on the couch next to Kari as the opening titles went on, opening his can of Dr. Pepper.

After the long 2½ hour movie, Kari and T.K. both had a few tears on their faces. (A/N: You know, because Les Mis is kind of sad). They both stood up and stretched.

"That's such a good show!" Kari exclaimed. "T.K., you're weeping!"

"Well, the show's kind of sad." T.K. wiped off the tears from his face.

"Kind of? It's really sad. Have you ever read the book, T.K.?"

"I started, but it was so long, I never finished. But I'm glad there's a much shorter musical version."

"Yeah. Hey, T.K. Do you want to sing any of the songs with me, just for fun?"

"How about Master of the House?" T.K. joked.

"Not that one, silly. I don't want one that's swears…that's probably the worst one!"

"I know, Kari, I was kidding. Even if it is the only song in the show that isn't dramatic at all."

"Okay, the only boy/girl duets I know from the show are A Heart Full of Love and A Little Fall of Rain.

"We can sing both." T.K. suggested.

T.K. went into his room to get his Les Misérables instrumental CD and boom box. Meanwhile, Patamon and Gatomon came inside.

"That was fun, Gatomon!"

"Yeah. Let's do it again another time!"

"What did you guys do?" Kari asked.

"First we played tag, then we started chasing mice, then we just sat under a tree and talked about stuff." Gatomon said.

"What kind of stuff?"

"Just that we care about each other." Patamon and Gatomon both blushed as Patamon said that.

"Awww…T.K.! Patamon just confessed to Gatomon!" Kari yelled.

"Kari! Can we keep that between us four?" Gatomon whispered.

"Of course, Gatomon." Kari patted them both on their heads.

"Found it!" T.K. came back with a karaoke machine and the Les Mis karaoke CD. "Now what was that about Patamon confessing to Gatomon?"

Patamon and Gatomon continued to blush.

"Patamon, are you embarrassed?"

"No way!" Patamon crossed his arms.

"You're not? Then you're not afraid of this!" Gatomon held him and passionately kissed him, shocking T.K., Kari, and especially Patamon. Kari couldn't help but get a picture on her camera. "Blackmail."

"Woah! What just happened?" Patamon was slightly dazed.

"I kissed you, silly. Want me to do it again?"

"Gatomon! You're crazy!"

"I know, but I'm crazy in love with you, Patamon."

"Know what, Gatomon?" Patamon blushed. "I love you too." They both kissed again.

"On that note…Kari? Are you ready to sing?"

"What are we singing first?"

"How about we do some solos and then some duets?"

"Sure, T.K."

First, T.K. sang Empty Chairs at Empty Tables and Bring Him Home.

"Wow, T.K.! I didn't know you sang!"

"Yeah, well…I can only keep a secret for so long, I guess. Not even Matt knows."

"Really? Well, do you wanna know what? I like to sing too."

T.K. was shocked. Kari then sang I Dreamed a Dream followed by On My Own.

"You're not kidding, Kari! You have a really beautiful voice!"

"Thanks, T.K., so do you."

"How about some duet singing?" T.K. said.

"Let's do A Little Fall of Rain first."

"Okay. I want to try something. Let's use each other's names instead of the character's names. Just for fun."

"Okay, sounds good."

T.K. turned on the song. Kari started out:

Don't you fret, Monsieur T.K., I don't feel any pain.

T.K. kind of chuckled, but got back into character. Kari continued.

A little fall of rain can hardly hurt me now. You're here. That's all I need to know. And you will keep me safe. And you will keep me close. And rain will make the flowers grow.

T.K. got really into Marius' character as he began his verse.

But you will live, Kari, dear God above! If I could heal your wounds with words of love…

Kari took the hint to get into character as well. She had to be a dying Eponine.

Just hold me now, and let it be…shelter me…comfort me…

Kari pretended to struggle in T.K.'s arms as her character winced due to the pain. However, hearing the line Kari sang reminded him of the promise he made to her and to Sora that he'd protect her, no matter what. He began his next verse, with more meaning.

You would live a hundred years, if I could show you how. I won't desert you now.

T.K. let a small tear run down his face. "Wow," Kari thought. "He's really into this."

The rain can't hurt me now. This rain…will wash away what's passed. T.K. thought about the time when he thought he'd hurt Kari's feelings as she struggled with the Dark Ocean.

And you will keep me safe. And you will keep me close. I'll sleep in your embrace at last.

T.K. held her and sat down on the ground and carefully laid Kari on his lap as she continued singing.

The rain that brings you here is Heaven-blessed. The sky begins to clear, and I'm at rest. Kari looked up at him, and he still struggled with letting tears fall. A breath away from where you are. I've come home from so far…Kari pretended to wince in pain again. T.K. instinctively held her close. The next, and final verse, was sung in counterpoint: two different verses at the same time.

Kari:

So don't you fret, Monsieur T.K.…I don't feel any pain. A little fall of rain can hardly hurt me now.

T.K.:

Hush-a-bye, dear Kari…you won't feel any pain. A little fall of rain can hardly hurt you now.

I'm here…

Once again, T.K. let down a small tear.

Kari:

That's all I need to know…

Both of them again sang in counterpoint.

Kari:

And you will keep me safe…and you will keep me close…and rain…

T.K.:

I'll stay with you till you are sleeping…and rain…

Kari:

Will make the flowers…

T.K.:

Will make the flowers…

Kari pretended to collapse in T.K.'s arms as T.K. finished the song. Grow…

At this point, T.K. let a few tears fall. He looked down at Kari, and held her head close to his chest as the music ended. T.K. pushed the pause button.

"Wow, T.K., you could've fooled me! Are you okay?" Kari asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine Kari. I just couldn't help but think of you during that song."

"Oh, T.K., you're so sweet. Come on, let's do a happier song. Let's do A Heart Full of Love."

"Alright." He turned the CD to the right track and they began.

"Actually let's do In My Life also. But we'll have to skip over Eponine's part."

"Can I try and do it?" Patamon asked.

"Sure. Do you know how it goes?"

"I've watched it with you enough, T.K. I think I know it."

"What about Valjean's part, T.K.?" Kari realized.

"Gatomon, do you want to try too?" T.K. asked.

"Ah, sure. I've seen it with Kari."

"Okay, T.K., press play."

"You've got it!" T.K. pushed the button. Kari listened to the intro of the song and began.

Kari:

How strange, this feeling that my life's begun at last…this change, can people really fall in love so fast? What's the matter with you, Kari? Have you been too much on your own? So many things unclear. So many things unknown.

In my life, there are so many questions and answers that somehow seem wrong. In my life, there are times when I catch in the silence, the sigh of a faraway song. And it sings of a world that I long to see, out of reach, just a whisper away, waiting for me!

Does he know I'm alive? Do I know if he's real? Does he see what I see? Does he feel what I feel? In my life, I'm no longer alone, now that love in my life is so near. Find me now, find me here!

Gatomon began her part. (A/N: Gatomon's singing as Valjean, but Gatomon's with Kari, and Patamon's playing Eponine, because he's with T.K., so it makes a little more sense.)

Gatomon:

Dear Kari, you're such a lonely child. How pensive, how sad you seem to be. Believe me, were it within my power, I'd fill each passing hour. How quiet it must be, I can see, with only me for company.

Kari:

There's so little I know that I'm longing to know of the child that I was in a time long ago. There's so little you say of the life you have known, why you keep to yourself, why we're always alone. So dark, so dark and deep, the secrets that you keep! In my life, I have all that I want, you are loving and gentle and good. But Gatomon, dear Gatomon, in your eyes I am still like a child who is lost in a wood.

Gatomon:

No more words. No more words, it's a time that is dead. There are words that are better unheard, better unsaid.

Kari:

In my life. I'm no longer a child and I yearn for the truth that you know of the years…years ago!

Gatomon:

You will learn. Truth is given by God to us all in our time, in our turn.

Then T.K. came in, with Patamon ready to sing his part later.

T.K.:

In my life, she has burst like the music of angels; the light of the sun. And my life seems to stop as if something is over and something has scarcely begun. Patamon, you're the friend who has brought me here. Thanks to you, I am one with the gods and Heaven is near! And I soar through a world that is new that is free...

Patamon:

Every word that he says is a dagger in me! In my life, there's been no one like him anywhere. Anywhere, where he is…if he asked…I'd be his.

T.K. & Patamon:

In my life, there is someone who touches my life

T.K.:

Waiting near.

Patamon:

Waiting here.

Then they immediately let the next track go on to A Heart Full of Love.

T.K.:

A heart full of love. A heart full of song. I'm doing everything all wrong. Oh, God, for shame. I do not even know your name. Dear Mademoiselle…won't you say? Will you tell?

Kari:

A heart full of love. No fear, no regret.

T.K.:

My name is T.K. Takaishi.

Kari:

And mine's Kari.

T.K.:

Kari, I don't know what to say.

Kari:

Then make no sound.

T.K.:

I am lost…

Kari:

I am found.

T.K.:

A heart full of light.

T.K. & Kari:

A night bright as day.

T.K.:

And you must never go away. Kari! Kari!

Kari:

This is a chain we'll never break.

T.K.:

Do I dream?

Kari:

I'm awake!

Patamon's turn was next. He had to sing his part interjecting with T.K. and Kari's.

T.K.:

A heart full of love.

Patamon:

He was never mine to lose.

Kari:

A heart full of you.

Patamon:

Why regret what cannot be?

T.K.:

A single look and then I knew.

Kari:

I knew it too.

Patamon:

These are words he'll never say. Not to me.

T.K.:

From today…

Patamon:

Not to me, not for me.

Kari:

Every day…

Patamon:

His heart full of love…he will never feel this way.

T.K. & Kari:

For it isn't a dream...not a dream after all!

After the song was over, T.K. and Kari inadvertently locked lips. They both seemed to enjoy the moment. Suddenly, T.K. turned away. "I'm sorry, Kari. I didn't mean to."

"T.K.…it's okay." Kari smiled.

"Kari…that was more than just us singing to me."

"I know, T.K. I felt it too."

"Kari…" T.K. started. "I…I'm not sure how to say this…but, I, well…I mean…I…"

"T.K.," Kari put a finger on his lips. "I love you."

"Kari…" His stress subsided and ecstasy was found in its place. "Kari, I love you too." They both shared another kiss, this time, with a mutual feeling of love. "For it isn't a dream…" T.K. reprised.

"Not a dream after all!" They both finished and hugged. This did not go unnoticed to Gatomon and Patamon. "Patamon, come here. I love you!"

"I love you too, Gatomon!" All four of them then had a group hug.

"T…K…I can't…breathe…can we all…let go…now?" Patamon struggled to say.

They all broke apart, looked at each other, and laughed. "I love you all!" Kari said.

"And that goes the same for me." T.K. replied.

"And me too." Patamon and Gatomon repeated.

"Um…sorry to ruin the moment, but aren't you supposed to be back soon, Kari?" Gatomon asked.

"Oh, yeah…sorry, T.K. I've got to go." Kari picked Gatomon up and started to head out.

"Wait, Kari. Let me walk home with you."

"Okay."

Patamon sat on T.K.'s hat and they all went back to Kari's house.


"Thanks for tonight, Kari. I'm so happy for…us, being together."

"T.K., you're welcome. I love you."

"I love you too. Bye, Gatomon."

Patamon flew down from T.K.'s head and hugged Gatomon. "I love you, Gato. Sweet dreams."

"Bye, Pata. Love you too."

"Good night!" They all said. Kari shut her door slowly and headed back inside. She and Gatomon went right to bed. Tai was already asleep. Both dreamed of their new boyfriends.


"Patamon, it's been a good night!"

"It sure has!" Patamon yawned and started to fall asleep on T.K.'s hat.

"I'm getting tired too." T.K. also yawned.

Later, once they got back home, they as well went right to bed. That night, they dreamed of Kari and Gatomon.
