Three years had passed since Kari had moved… Yolei and Ken had started dating, Cody had his first girlfriend, and Davis… Well, let's just say he had never really gotten over Kari.

"Why hasn't she visited?!" Davis had asked TK every summer, and every summer Davis got the same reply, "I don't know."

"Doesn't she know how much we miss her?" Davis asked glumly as the 02 Digi-Destined took a walk in the park.

"WHY DOESN'T SHE VISIT?!" Davis screamed, having his normal hissy-fit for the week as they passed a couple holding hands.

"Calm down Davis." Yolei told Davis, obviously annoyed, as she had narrowed her eyes, stuck her nose up and pushed her glasses up her nose, her purple hair, which was tied up in a ponytail fell to her back.

"Yeah Davis, relax." Cody told him as texting his girlfriend, his thumbs moving in a blur and his eyes plastered to the cell's screen.

"I will not calm down!" Davis replied angrily and stomped his foot, shredding the grass underneath with his foot, but then sighed and told everyone as they gave him exasperated looks, "Sorry guys…"

We all patted him on the back, "It's fine." I told him as I kicked a stick out of our path, and I slid my hands back into my pockets, "You know, Tai said that Hikari might come home soon." I continued as Davis's grumpy look lightened.

DemiVeemon exclaimed, "Does that mean Gatomon will come back too?" Everyone knew DemiVeemon had a huge crush on Gatomon, and was always jealous of Patamon as Davis was jealous of TK.

"I suppose so." I told him as the blue Digimon excitedly did a little jig.

There was a long silence as we walked through the park until Ken broke the silence, "Hey guys there is a café up ahead, want to go have a cup of tea?"

"Sure!" Yolei said happily as she linked her arm around Ken's and started to drag him along to the café.

Ken laughed and stopped in his tracks, and Yolei spun around and glared at him, "What!?" Yolei asked and Ken responded, "I meant ALL of us."

Yolei turned bright red and said loudly, "I knew that…" As she tugged on a stray lock of hair, embarrassed.

The In-training Digimon, along with Wormmon hopped in Yolei's large purse, and I took off my jacket and hid Patamon in it. We had grabbed ourselves a table and ordered some tea. I started to sip my tea, but what Davis said was still on my mind. Why hadn't Kari visited? I slipped a cookie to Patamon, under my jacket as I also slipped another into a pocket of my jacket. Takeru thought, It doesn't feel RIGHT. Something… doesn't feel right. Takeru looked out the window sadly and thought he saw a flash of purple-and-white, followed by a glimmer of gold. Are my eyes fooling me, or is that GATOMON? The blonde boy sat up, grabbing his worn leather jacket, Patomon and all, mumbled, "I'm going home. See ya guys soon."

And walked out the door before anyone else could say a word. As he walked out the door, he threw on his coat while launching Patamon into the air. "HEY!" Patamon screeched as he pulled up, avoiding the cement ground.

TK trudged down the sidewalk, Patamon flying around his head. The boy swatted at the orange Digimon.

"You're making me dizzy." Takeru said coldly, his eyes downcast and his hands clenched in his warm pockets..

Patamon sniffed, "Fine TK, if you're gonna be like that. Maybe I should just go away!"

He started to fly away, but Takeru grabbed him mid-flight, "I'm sorry…" He mumbled, "I am just in a bad mood."

Patamon would have raised an eyebrow if he had one to match his knowing-tone, "Is this about Kari again?"

The blonde shook his head, lying badly, but when Patamon gave him another look that meant Yea right. The boy sighed and told the truth, "Erm… yea."

His hair fell in his eyes, obscuring his face as he moved towards the park. Patamon landed on his shoulder as they crossed the street, "Hey TK, cheer up. Remember back in the digital world, when we were at that amusement park, TK? We were both upset so we did stupid things."

Takeru nodded and flicked the hair out of his face, "Let's go to the park." he said in a lighter tone, trying to sound happy.

"Okay TK. Let's hurry up!" Patamon said and launched himself off of his partner's shoulder into flight.

They started at to go a little faster. Finally, they reached the park and started to walk on a gravel path.

Takeru batted at Patamon playfully and pulled a cookie out of his pocket, "I saved a cookie." Patamon anxiously grabbed the cookie out of TK's hand, swallowing it in one big gulp.

As they continued walking, they started to drift away onto other subjects, oblivious to the stares they were getting from passerby's. No one really mattered… except for a girl reading a book on a blanket and a large white cat bathing in the dappled light. TK didn't get a good look at her at first, but as they passed the girl looked up and squealed.

Takeru turned around just to be hugged by the girl, "Umm are you mistaking me for my brother? I am not the famous Yamato Ishida, sorry."

To be quite honest, Takeru was used to these kinds of mistakes. As he grew older, he started to resemble his brother now, and was taller than Matt at this point. The girl didn't let go. TK tried to wiggle out of the girl's grasp, but she just tightened her arms around him. tighter.

"What? No hug, TK?" Asked the girl, "No, 'Welcome back's or 'Good to see you again!'s?"

She looked up at him, smiling broadly. Her brown hair swayed around her neck as she looked up at him with big, red-brown eyes. "You don't remember me?"

Takeru blinked in surprise and whispered, "No… It couldn't be… Kari?"
