Chapter 2

Last time: Davis (P.O.V. ) We decided to have picnic in the digital world. Ken came late, but that was ok cause he was a practice. There he learned he has a school dance to attend to, where he can bring a date. At the picnic, Ken asked Kari to the dance and she said yes.

Summary: Kari and Ken prepare for the dance.

Monday and the kids at Ken's school were already talking about the dance. Ken kept quiet on who he was going with to the dance. He did not feel like sharing details, nor did he not want to get get Kari involved. A few girls have passed by Ken and asked him if he needed a date to the dance. He simply said no and that he already asked someone. When people asked who, he said a friend from a different school. Which both were true, he just didn't give a name or say how he met her. It was the end of the day, and Ken was at his locker grabbing his things. His digivice and d-terminal sat on the shelf hidden behind a few books. He grabbed his books he needed for homework then reached back and grabbed his devices. Ken put his d-3 in his pocket and opened the d-terminal to check his mail.

"No new messages." He said to himself as he put the d-terminal in his pocket.

"He's here, he's here." A few girls squealed running past him.

"What's going on?" Ken asked stopping one of the girls.

"The Teenage Wolf singer is here." She said jumping up and down.

"Matt's here?" Ken asked.

"Yeah he is." She said. She released herself from Ken's grip and ran down the hall. Ken's d-terminal went off in his pocket. He pulled it out and opened it to find a message from Kari.

Kari - Do you have soccer today?

Ken- No not today, why?

Kari- Can you come over after school? Tai wants to talk to you.

Ken stared at the email. Tai wanting to see him meant a lecture on how to behave around Kari.

Ken- Sure I'm leaving school right now.

Kari- kay, see you soon.

Ken closed his d-terminal. He closed his locker and decided to head towards the main entrance. As he reached the stairs he noticed a swarm of girls surrounding a familiar blonde hair teenager.

"Matt." Ken called from the stairs. The blonde didn't hear so Ken decided to push his way through the crowd.

"Matt hey." Ken said when he got next to his friend.

"Ken hey." Matt said.

"What are you doing here?" Ken asked.

"Got a gig to perform here in a few weeks." Matt said.

"The school dance?" Ken asked.

"Yeah that''s the one' Matt answered.

3"Cool, I'll be there." Ken said.

"Cool going with anyone?" Matt asked.

"Yeah I asked someone." Ken answered.

"Who?" Matt asked.

"Later." Ken answered. Matt nodded.

"Here you go Matt here is everything you need to know for the event and what you'll need to do for it." A girl said coming up to him with a thick packet.

"Thanks." Matt said taking the packet.

"Bye Matt, Bye Ken." The girl said and walked away.

"Bye" Both boys said.

"Well I guess I better get going and start planning a set for the dance." Matt said.

"Mind if I tag along, I have to go to Odaiba anyways." Ken said.

"Not at all, why do you need to go to Odaiba?" Matt asked.

"Uh Kari asked me to come over today." Ken replied.

"You asked Kari to the dance." Matt said.

"Yeah." Ken said.

"Good move kid, but good luck getting by the older brother." Matt said.

"Right Tai is overprotective." Ken said.

"Why don't I come over with you. I can keep him from trying to strangle you." Matt suggested.

"That would be great, thanks." Ken said. The two walked out of school together and went to the train station.

"Shouldn't we've gone to your place first?" Matt asked Ken.

"Wormmon will be fine, he's used to me coming home late, with soccer practice anyways." Ken said.

"Well if you say so." Matt said.

"He usually sleeps until I get home." Ken said.

"Lucky him.' Matt said.

"I'll call my parents when we get to Kari's." Ken said.

"Sounds like a plan." Matt said.

"I'll just let Kari know, I'm on my way." Ken said pulling out his d-terminal."Don't let them know I'm joining you." Matt said. "I won't." Ken said.

Ken- on my way over.

Kari- ok, see you soon.

"Do you think Tai is going to kill me?" Ken asked.

"No he won't don't worry." Matt said. The two got off at the Odaiba train station and went right to the Kamiya's. Once, there Ken knocked on the door. The two waited for the door to open up.

"Oh hello boys." Mrs. Kamiya said.

"Tai and Kari home?" Matt asked.

"Tai's watching and Kari's in her room doing homework." Mrs. Kamiya said. She turned around and went into the kitchen.

"Thank you." Matt said as he and Ken entered the apartment.

"Hey Matt what are you doing here?" Tai asked.

"Here to make sure you don't hurt Ken here." Matt answered. Tai said nothing and stayed on the couch.

"I'll go say hi to Kari." Ken said.

"Ok." Tai said. Ken went over to the closed door and knocked.

"Go away Tai." Kari's voice said from the other side. Ken slowly opened the door to find it slammed shut in his face.

"What was that about?" Matt asked.

"She threw something at the door and it slammed shut." Ken said.

"What did you do Tai?" Matt asked.

"Nothing." Tai answered putting his hands up. Ken opened the door and poked his head in. He saw Kari sitting at her desk doing homework. Gatomon was up in Kari's bed napping on the pillow.

"Um Kari?" Ken said. Kari didn't answer.

"Ken." Gatomon said waking up from her nap.

"Hi." He said.

"Ken." Kari said looking up.

"Busy with homework I see." He said.

"Yeah more of trying to avoid Tai." Kari said. Ken smiled.

"I'll go talk to Tai then I'll come back here and do homework with you." Ken said. Kari nodded. Ken left her room and went back to the living room.

"Ok, I'm ready." Ken said. He and Matt sat on the second couch.

"Ok let's go over some rules for this dance." Tai said. Ken nodded.

"Ok, do not stand too close to her, don't touch her unless dancing, hands above the waist when dancing, arm lengths apart, no hugging , no kissing, no hand holding, don't stare at her for too long, be nice and don't leave her for another girl. Any questions?" Tai said.

"So can I dance with her?" Ken asked. " Tai's left eye twitched.

"That's it." Tai said. He jumped off his couched and jumped onto Ken.

"Touch my sister and you die Ichijouji." Tai said pinning the younger boy to the floor.

"Tai get off him." Matt said pulling Tai off Ken.

"Aww come on let me at him." Tai said.

"Relax Tai, Ken you can leave, I'll take over from here." Matt said. Ken nodded. He pulled himself off the floor and went back to Kari's room.

"How did it go?" Kari asked when he reentered her room.

"Fine." Ken answered. Kari looked up at him.

"Are we still doing the dance together or did Tai scare you away?" Kari asked.

"We're still going, don't worry." Ken said.

"Ok. Is Matt really here?" Kari asked. Ken nodded.

"Maybe I should go say hi to him." Kari said.

"I'll stay here and start on my homework." Ken said.

"I'll be right back." Kari said and left. She went to the living room where she saw the two boys playing video games.

"Hey Matt." Kari said.

"Hey Kari." Matt said.

"Ken told me you were so, I thought I would say hi." Kari said.

"It wasn't planned but here I am." Matt said. Kari nodded.

"Heard you were going to the dance with Ken." Matt said.

"Yeah I am." Kari said. Tai paused the game to listen in on their conversation.

"It'll be fun. You two will have a good time." Matt said. Tai rolled his eyes.

"Stop encouraging them." Tai said.

"Ignore him." Matt said.

"Where's Ken?" Tai asked.

"With me, we're doing homework." Kari said.

"Have fun then." Matt said.

"I will." Kari said. She turned around and went back to her room.

"How did it go?" Ken asked.

"Not bad." Kari answered.

"That's good.' Ken said. The two sat on the floor and did their homework.

"Kari, dinner, oh hi Ken." Mrs. Kamiya said coming into the room. The two looked up and smiled.

"Ken would you like to stay for dinner?" Mrs. Kamiya asked.

"Sure." Ken said.

"Great, Matt is joining use as well." Mrs. Kamiya said.

"Cool." Ken said. The two got up off the floor and went to the kitchen. Matt and Tai were at the table sitting next to each other talking. Ken sat across from Matt while Kari sat next to him and across from Tai. The parents sat on the end.

"Enjoy." Mrs. Kamiya said putting the food in front of everyone.

"What is it?" Tai asked.

"Noodles with vegetable and chicken." Mrs. Kamiya said.

"Doesn't look like it." Tai said.

"Tai don't be rude." Matt scolded.

"I sure it's good." Ken said.

"Well enjoy." Tai said. Ken looked at his plate and shoved a bite full of noodles in his mouths.

"Not bad" He said.

"Thank you." Mrs. Kamiya said before scolding her son.

"Thank you for the meal. I have to go now. " Ken said when everyone finished their dinner.

"I'll walk you two the street level." Kari said.

"Ok." Ken said. The two got up and went to the door.

"I guess I should go too." Matt said.

"Later." Tai said.

"Yeah see ya." Matt said and he went over and joined Kari and Ken. Ken grabbed his things from Kari's room, then the three left the apartment.

"So any songs you two want to hear at the dance? I need to create a set list." Matt said.

"You're going to the dance?" Kari asked.

"I'm the entertainment." Matt said.

"So you're going to make sure we obey Tai's rules?" Kari asked.

"No, but I will be there in case things go wrong." Matt said.

"Ok." Kari said.

"Don't worry about Tai, he's just looking after you." Matt said. Kari nodded.

"I'm going to go on ahead, I'll see you two later." Matt said. Matt went on ahead leaving Ken and Kari alone.

"So." Kari said.

"So." Ken said.

"How's soccer going?" Kari asked.

"Good, still one of the top players." Ken said.

"Not the best?" Kari asked.

"Sort of not as great as I was with the spore active in me." Ken said.

"That's ok, you're still doing what you love." Kari said.

"I know. I should warn you there might be reporters at this event." Ken said.

"They report your dances?" Kari asked.

"Yeah it's kind of a big event." Ken said.

"Like a high school prom." Kari said.

"Not that fancy." Ken said.

"So I guess girls will be wear a nice dress and guys in nice looking suits." Kari said.

"Pretty much, like going to a semi formal." Ken said.

"Ok, that'll give me an idea on what to look for." Kari said.

"The girls going to help?" Ken asked.

"Most likely, they'll get mad if they found out I eat to this event without them knowing." Kari said.

"Maybe I can get few of the guys to help me, if not my mom." Ken said.

"I'm sure they will." Kari said.

"Know what? Matt's right. We will have fun at the dance." Ken said. Kari nodded in agreement. The two finally reached the lobby of the apartment building.

"If you want we could hang out a few times before the dance so we're a little more comfortable around each other." Ken said.

"Yeah sure." Kari said.

"I'll call you then." Ken said.

"Kay." Kari said. He turned around and left the apartment. Over the next couple of weeks, Kari and Ken were busy preparing for the dance as well as spending time with each other doing homework together at the park near the bridge. The day of the dance came up quickly. By then rumors spread around both schools of Kari and Ken becoming a couple. A photo of the two in the park hanging out was taken and put in the paper. Ken saw this and tried to clear the rumors at his school. Kari did the same thing at her school.

"So why didn't you and Ken tell me you two were a couple." Davis said to her at lunch.

"Cause we're not." Kari said.

"So why are you two hanging out a lot?" Davis asked.

"Cause we want to." Kari said.

"So you want to come and watch me and TK shoot some hoops?" Davis asked.

"Sorry Davis I've already got plans." Kari said.

"With Ken?" Davis asked.

"Yeah, we're doing homework." Kari said. It was partly true. She was doing homework with him, but she also had the school dance to attend to.

"Hey guys," TK said as he, Yolei and Cody joined Kari and Davis.

"No one make plans with Kari or Ken, they're busy this weekend." Davis announced before he got up and left the table.

"Ok," TK said sitting down with Cody next to him.

"Ready for tonight?" Yolei asked.

"I believe so." Kari said.

"You excited for tonight?" TK asked.

"You know about the dance?" Yolei asked.

"Kari told me, when these rumors of her and Ken dating started going around." TK answered.

"TK called me and I told him." Kari said.

"And you're ok with this?" Cody asked.

"It's a one time thing, and I know Ken won't hurt her." TK said.

"Does everyone know about this but Davis?" Yolei asked.

"I believe so." TK answered.

"You're going to tell him right?" Cody asked.

"Not until after the event." Kari said.

"Not a bad idea." TK said.

"You all packed for the weekend?" Yolei asked.

"I have to finish after school." Kari said.

"What time do you have to be at Ken's?" Cody asked.

"After school, Tai's taking me when he gets home from practice." Kari said.

"Need help packing?" Yolei asked.

"I think I'm good, but you can come over if you want." Kari said.

"Sure." Yolei said.

"Cody you want to come?" Kari asked.

"I have Kendo practice today, but thanks for the invite." Cody said.

"Sure another time." Kari said.

"Right." Cody said. At the end of the day, everyone met up at the front of the school.

"Ready to go Kari?" Yolei asked.

"Ready." Kari said.

"Wait I thought you had a study date with Ken." Davis said.

"That's not until later." Kari said.

"I see well, have fun and see you around." Davis said then looked over at TK.

"Ready to get creamed." He asked TK.

"Sure, but Davis you stink." TK said.

"Not I don't." Davis said. The headed off towards the gym.

"Well I better go too." Cody said.

"Alright see you Monday." Yolei said. Cody nodded.

"Tell Ken I said hi." Cody said to Kari.

"Will do." Kari said. Cody smiled and ran off towards his apartment.

"Come on let's go." Kari said. Yolei nodded and the two ran off to Kari's apartment. Mean whille Ken had a half a day at school because of the event. He was now at home helping his mom clean up before Kari came over.

"Ken I got flowers for you and Kari to wear to the dance tonight." Mrs. Ichijouji said.

"It's a semi formal not a prom." Ken said.

"Just look at them." Mrs. Ichijouji said and walked away.

"I will." Ken said. He grabbed the box and went to his room. He opened the box and looked at the pink roses. One had a wrist band and the other had a pin glued to the stem. The colored matched the color of Kari's dress. Ken asked for a picture which she kindly sent one to him.

"Those are nice." Wormmon said.

"Thanks they're for tonight." Ken said.

"I thought you were going as friends." Wormmon said.

"We are." Ken said. He closed the box then went and put it in the fridge.

"When is Kari coming over?" Mrs. Ichijouji asked.

"At four, she as a full day of school today." Ken said.

"Ok, well I have to go out, I should be home by the time she gets here." Mrs. Ichijuji said grabbing her things.

"Ok, I'll be fine here." Ken said. Mrs. Ichijouji kissed her son on the head then left the apartment.

"Ready to go?" Tai asked as he entered his apartment. Kari nodded.

"You're still taking me right?" Kari asked.

"I can't, so Matt is instead." Tai said. The doorbell rang. Tai opened the door to reveal Matt waiting in the hallway.

"Ready to go?" Matt asked.

"Why are you going instead of him?" Yolei asked.

"Well um…" Tai began. "I decided to do it before he changes his mind." Matt said.

"Smart move." Yolei said.

"Besides, I'm going to Tomachi anyways." Matt said.

"He's the live entertainment for the dance." Kari said.

"That's cool, free concert from the teenage wolves." Yolei said.

"Only for those who are at the dance." Matt said.

"You guys doing a meet and greet as well?" Yolei asked.

"No, but Ken and Kari do have my permission to see me backstage if they want." Matt said.

"So I'm guessing tight security for you." Yolei said.

"Sort of there will be teacher keeping the crowd away from the backstage." Matt said.

"But Ken and I will be able to see you if we want to right?" Kari asked. Matt nodded.

"So Kari you moving in with Ken or staying there for the weekend?" Tai asked looking at all her bags. Kari had a duffle bag with clothes for the weekend, backpack with her school stuff, a shopping bag with her shoes, jewelry and makeup for the dance, a small bag for Gatomon and a plastic bag of treats for the digimon.

"Shut up." Kari said.

"Come on let's go." Matt said taking Kari's duffle bag and dress bag. Kari had her backpack and the rest of the bags as well as carrying Gatomon.

"Tai is right, you did pack a lot." Matt said.

"Yeah I know, most of it is for the dance." Kari said.

"Let me guess the girls helped you pack." Matt said.

"Yep." Kari said.

"Well good luck bringing all this home." Matt said.

"Ken said he would help me, he knows how much I've packed." Kari said. The two were silent the rest of the trip. They reached Tamachi and walked to Ken's apartment.

"So this is where he lives." Matt said once they reached the building.

"What did you expect? He's a normal kid aside for being a genius." Kari said.

"Right forgot the normal part." Matt said. The two noticed Ken waiting for them at the entrance of the building. Ken spotted them and waved them over.

"Hey Kari, Hey Matt." Ken said.

"Hey." The two said. "I didn't know you were coming. I thought Tai was." Ken said.

"I decided to go in Tai's place." Matt said.

"Didn't feel like coming?" Ken asked.

"No, I volunteered before he stopped Kari from coming." Matt said.

"Smart move, you want to come upstairs for a bit?" Ken said.

"Thanks for the offer but I can't. I have to go to the school for a soundcheck." Matt said. Ken nodded in understanding.

"Oh and here you'll need these." Matt said handing them to Kari.

"What are they?" Ken asked.

"Passes so you guys can visit me backstage at the dance." Matt said.

"Does anyone get this or just us?" Ken asked.

"You guys and the dance committee." Matt said.

"Oh great." Ken said.

"Don't worry you guys can visit whenever they have a certain time." Matt said.

"And if they are there when we come?" Ken asked.

"I'll make sure they're not." Matt said.

"Ok." Ken said.

"Thanks Matt for dropping me off." Kari said.

"No problem anytime." Matt said.

"We'll see you later." Ken said.

"See ya." Matt said then turned around and left.

"Need a hand?" Ken asked. Kari nodded. Ken took the bags Matt had carried. The two walked back up to the apartment. Kari was still holding Gatomon who acted like a stuffed animal.

"Ok here we are." Ken said once they reached the apartment. The two put Kari's stuff in Ken's room. Wormmon was up on Ken's bed napping.

"Want to join him?" Ken asked. Gatomon looked up at the bed.

"Why not." She said and climbed up to the bed.

"Ken and I will be in the kitchen if you need us." Kari said. Gatomon nodded then went to sleep herself. The two kids quietly left the room.

"They sure love to nap." Kari said.

"And eat." Ken said. Kari nodded in agreement.

"My dad's bringing home takeout anything you want?" Ken asked.

"Anything will be fine." Kari said.

"Pizza it is." Ken said grabbing the phone.

"Sounds good to me." Kari said. Ken called his father and told him what to get.

"He'll be home soon with dinner." Ken said.

"Ok." Kari said.

"Think you got mail." Ken said as her d-terminal went off.

"It's probably from Davis or Yolei." Kari said.

"Let's see." Ken said.

"It's from Yolei." Kari said opening the email. It was a picture of Davis bruised up.

"Yikes." Ken said looking over her shoulder.

"TK and Davis were playing basketball after school." Kari said.

"I thought Davis couldn't play basketball." Ken said.

"He can't which is why he has a ball to the face." Kari said.

"Didn't that happen before?" Ken asked.

"Yeah in gym class. Davis wasn't paying attention and when someone threw the ball at him it got him in the face." Kari said. "When did this happen?" Ken asked. "Before you joined the team, but after you stopped being the digimon emperor. We doing clean up duty at the time." Kari said. "TK is a better player than him right?" Ken asked. Kari nodded. "Davis thinks he's good at everything doesn't he?" Ken asked. "You know him as well as the rest of us." Kari said. "Ask Yolei what happened." Ken said.

Kari: What happened?

The two waited for a bit.

Yolei: Davis being Davis. Took another ball to the face while trying to keep TK from scoring other basket.

"Is he alright?" Ken asked.

"Yolei says he's fine. They're at Izzy's and Joe is patching him up as we speak." Kari said.

"Which means Davis will call me tonight to tell me what happened." Ken said.

"I don't think so. He know's we're together this weekend." Kari said.

"He did ask me about this weekend, and I told him we were hanging out." Ken said.

"He was probably mad at this." Kari said.

"He didn't seem that happy about us hanging together." Ken said.

"It's fine. We're friends and this is a one time even we're doing." Kari said. But I don't want it to be. Ken said to himself.

"Um right." Ken said.

"Any ways I think the prize to their game was me." Kari said.

"Of course it is. You must be sick of that." Ken said.

"I try not to pay attention, and it's Davis who keeps score." Kari said.

"Of course he is." Ken said.

"Which is partly the reason why I'm here with you." Kari said.

"Oh really what's the other?" Ken asked.

"Just cause I want to." Kari said. Ken smiled.

"Ken I'm home. Is Kari here yet?" Mrs. Ichijouji said coming in the front door.

"Hi Mrs. Ichijouji." Kari said as Mrs. Ichijouji entered the kitchen. She had an armful of groceries with her. Ken and Ken went over and grabbed a few backs from her.

"Thank you kids." She said.

"Anytime." Kari said.

"Mom what's all of this?" Ken asked.

"Just food for the weekend." Mrs. Ichijouji said.

"It's a lot." Ken said.

"Well I had to make sure there was enough food to feed everyone." Mrs. ichijouji said.

"I think there's more than enough." Ken said.

"Ken be nice." Mrs. Ichijouji said. The door to Ken's room opened up and the two digimon came walking out of it.

"What''s up you two?" Kari asked.

"We smell food." Gatomon said.

"You mean the groceries?" Ken asked. The two digimon shook their heads.

"Pizza's here." Mr. Ichijouji said entering the apartment.

"Oh that food." Ken said.

"They always know where's food nearby." Kari said. The two digimon went over to Ken's father.

"Ok you two give him some space.." Kari said. She went over and picked them up. Ken walked over and helped with the pizza.

"Thanks." Mr. Ichijouji said.

"Easy you too, you'll each get some soon." Kari said holding them back.

"Here you go." Ken said giving them each a slice. Kari put them on the table so they can eat.

"Here you go Kari." Ken said. He gave her a plate with a couple of slices on it.

"Thanks." She said as she took a seat next to the digimon. Ken grabbed a couple of slices himself and sat next to her. Everyone ate their pizza and talked. "Ken when does the dance begin?" Mr. Ichijouji asked.

"At 8." Ken answered.

"Shouldn't you two be getting ready? We need time to do pictures." Mrs. Ichijouji said.

"Oh right we should probably get ready now." Ken said.

"Kari if you want you can change in my room, and I can help." Mrs. Ichijouji said.

"Sure thanks." Kari said. The two got up and went back to Ken's room. Kari grabbed her things then left his room. Kari had changed into her dress and was now standing in front of a long mirror looking at herself. kari was in a long floor length dress with off the shoulders straps. She had on a pairs of heals on her feet that were pink, the same color as her dress. Her hair clip was in the shape of a heart. She also had a necklace with the charm in the shape of the crest of light. A christmas gift from Mimi before she left to New York.

"You look very pretty." Mrs. Ichijouji said.

"Thanks." Kari said as she blushed.

"Ken should still be in his room getting ready himself." Mrs. Ichijouji said.

"I'll go check on him." Kari said and went over to his door. She knocked on it and waited for an answer. No response. Ken was in his room staring at himself in the mirror. Ken was dressed in a white shirt black tie, black pants and black shoes. His jacket was on a chair nearby.

"I can't believe I'm doing this." Ken said to himself. He grabbed his jacket and went out to the balcony. Kari opened the door to his room and poked her head in. She looked around and noticed the balcony door was open.

"Ken?" She said from the doorway.

"Kari, hey." He said hearing his name being called. He stared at her for a few minutes.

"You ok?" Kari asked. She waved her hand in front of his face.

"Ken?" She said. Ken continued to look at her.

"Huh? Sorry." He said.

"Are you ok?" Kari asked. Ken nodded.

"Nervous? Me too." Kari said.

"Yeah I guess it's easy to tell." Ken said. Kari nodded.

"Don't worry it'll be fun." Kari said.

"I know it will." Ken said.

"Think we'll have to hold hands and act like a couple?" Kari asked.

"Probably wouldn't hurt anyone if we did." Ken said.

"Except your fangirls." Kari said.

"Ehh they all have their own dates." Ken said.

"True." Kari said.

"We should probably head in for pictures." Ken said. Kari nodded in agreement.

"Let's go." Ken said. He opened the door and lead her back inside. Kari took a step in the doorway and tripped.

"Got ya." Ken said catching her.

"Sorry not used to heals." Kari said.

"It's ok. They don't look comfortable, are you going to make through the night in them?" Ken asked.

"Not sure." Kari answered.

"Well good luck." Ken said.

"Thanks." Kari said. The two went back inside. They left his room and went to the living room where Ken's parents were waiting for them.

"Think they're ready yet?" Mrs. Ichijouji asked.

"They'll come out when they're ready." Mr. Ichijouji said.

"Oh wait until you see Kari, she looks so beautiful, and standing next to Ken they'll make a cute couple." Mrs. Ichijouji said.

"Honey they're not actually dating." Mr. Ichijiouji reminded his wife.

"I know." She said.

"We're ready." Ken said. The adults turned around to see Ken and Kari standing next to each other holding hands.

"I'll go get the camera." Mrs. Ichijouji said.

"Here's mine." Kari said holding it in her other hand. Mrs. Ichijouji took it from Kari. The two stood next to each other.

"Ken scoot a little closer to Kari." Mrs. Ichijouji said. Ken moved closer to Kari.

"Now put your arm around her." Ken's mother instructed. Ken did as told. He put his arm around her waist.

"Kari put your arm around his." His mother said. Kari did as she was told.

"Ok smile." She said. She took the picture.

"Aww nice." Mrs. ichijouji said. She took a few more pictures.

"Ken don't forget the flowers." Mrs. Ichijouji said.

"Right." Ken said. He took Kari's hand and lead her to the kitchen. He opened up the fridge and pulled out the box. Ken opened the box and pulled out the flowers.

"What do you think?" Ken asked.

"They're nice." Kari said.

"Do we have to wear them?" She whispered to him.

"Only until we get to school then we can take them off." Ken whispered back.

"Ok." Kari said.

"Hold it you two I need to film this." Mrs. Ichijouji said.

"Ok go." She said once she had the camera rolling. Ken slid the corsage onto Kari's left wrist. Then she pinned Ken's flower onto the pocket of his jacket.

"Ok smile." Mrs. Ichijouji said taking another picture. She took a few more. One pick featured the digimon with their partners, and another featured Ken's parents.

"Ok time to go." Mr. ichijouji said. He got up and grabbed the keys and his jacket.

"Kari will you be ok? It's a little cold out." Mr. Ichijouji said.

"I"ll be fine." Kari said. She grabbed her purse and jacket from Ken's room.

"Alright you two my d-terminal is in my room. Kari has hers if you need to get to us. We'll both have our digivice with us." Ken told the digimon.

"We'll be fine." Gatomon said.

"Go on have fun." Wormmon said.

"Alright, we'll see you guys soon." Kari said.

"Bye." Ken said. "Bye." Gatomon said. The two digimon watched their partners leave then went back to Ken's room.

"Do you think Ken's going to ask her tonight?" Gatomon asked.

"Not sure. He has been hesitant about it all week." Wormmon said. The two were quiet for a minute. Wormmon crawled over to the computer and turned it on.

"What do you think Kari will say if he asks?" Wormmon asked.

"I think she'll say yes, but if he hurts her, I'll claw him." Gatomon said.

"You'll have to get through me first." Wormmon said.

"Oh yeah want to try." Gatomon said.

"Sure." Wormmon said. The two jumped at each other. The fell off the desk and started rolling around on the floor.

"What's going on in here?" Mrs. Ichijouji asked seeing the two digimon on the floor.

"Just having fun." Gatomon said.

"Just don't break anything." Mrs. Ichijijouji said.

"We won't." They said together. Mrs. Ichiijouji closed the door and walked away, leaving the two to continue their fight.

"I'll drop you to off at the side to avoid paparazzi." Mr. Ichijouji said.

"Thanks dad, that way we can avoid the crowd." Ken said.

"Yeah." Kari said.

"Ok, then." Mr. Ichijouji said. He pulled away from the main parking lot and parked at a side door. Kari and Ken got out of the car.

"What time should I pick you up?" Mr. Ichijouji asked.

"Not sure, we'll walk home or I'll call you." Ken said.

"Have fun you too." Mr. Ichijoiji said.

"Thanks we will." Ken said. He closed the door and waved bye to his father as he drove away.

"Ready?" Ken asked. Kari nodded.
