Ken's computer glowed and the others came back. "The venom… we got it!" Cody yelled handing the test tube to Joe. "Great!" Joe smiled and started working and didn't notice Matt carry Davis at his back.
"What happened?" Joe finally said. "Long story…" Matt sighed as he laid Davis on the floor. "Right now… you have 2 people to save!"
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
"Well? How is it, Joe?" Tai asked impatiently. "It's almost done now!" Joe said as he wiped the sweat off of his face. "Hurry up, will you?" Tai panicked as he looked over his shoulder and saw 2 of his friends in pain, one on the bed and the other on the floor.
Davis lay on the floor clutching to his shirt while Ken slept soundly in his bed, but with a trace of pain written all over his face. "It's done!" Joe finally said which lit up the faces of his friends.
Joe placed some of its contents right on Davis's mouth, and then Ken.
"Come on Davis! Snap out of it!" Tai slightly slapped Davis's face. "Ken! Wake up!" Yolei pleaded as she shook the boy on the bed. A minute passed and both of them are still out cold. "Are you sure you made the right ingredients, Joe?" Matt asked.
"Yes… I'm sure!" Joe said as she scanned through his notebook. A loud moan can be heard and everyone's head turned to whom it belonged to. "Davis!" Kari shrieked happily. Davis slowly opened his eyes and coughed.
"Quick! Get him a glass of water!" Tai demanded and Cody ran out of the room to fetch it. "What happened?" Davis asked hoarsely. "Don't you remember anything at all?" Matt asked.
"That's right… Black Widow…" Davis whispered. "KEN!!! What happened to-" he was suddenly cut off when a wave of dizziness ran throughout his body and fell back. "We're waiting for him to wake up now…" Tai looked anxiously to the boy on the bed.
"Ken… you have to wake up!" Davis pleaded, not moving from his position. "You just have to…"

Darkness… everything is in darkness…I was walking down the park as the wind blew hard, clutching my injured leg. I hugged myself tightly by the chill of the wind and looked at the Cherry Blossoms being blown by the wind.
"Kire..." I can't help but gasp.
Suddenly, yellow lights came out from the sky and instantly caught my attention... it were fireworks!
"Oh! Wow!" I brightened up more as I walked in difficulty furthermore to the place where it came from. I was wondering why Hanagata would do all of this. That's when I slowly saw 5 figures coming up to view.
The next thing I knew, I wanted to run away… call me a "coward", I don't care! I have my own problems and I wasn't going to make it worst!
Davis caught me by my wrist as I looked back at him. "Don't go," he said.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
"WOW!" We all gasped in amazement as the fireworks were set up in the sky. "The fireworks in Christmas are very pretty! What more on New Year?" Kari said.
"This remembers me of the time when we first got along..." I said looking up at the fireworks and they looked at me. "Do you guys remember it too?" I looked back at them and smiled. They nodded and we continued looking at the fireworks-filled sky.

Ken can't help but give out a smile within the darkness. Slowly… tears form his eyes as images of his friends helping him came flashing back.
"Yo, man! Are you okay?" –Davis
"Fight it Ken! You mustn't give up!" –Tai
"I want to… help too… If this keeps Ken… from being… in trouble! Then… I'm going to… fight no matter… what happens!" –T.K.
"Come on, Ken! Fight it! You must hang on!" –Joe
"Ken! Wake up!" –Yolei
Slowly, loud voices rang inside his head. And finally, he opened his eyes and came face-to-face with his friends.
"Ken!" Yolei cried happily. "You're awake!" Cody yelled. "Ken, are you okay?" Davis yelped. "We were so worried!" Kari panicked. "We're so glad you finally woke up!" T.K. jumped.
"Shush!" Joe scolded and everyone fell silent. "Ken has been through a lot and I suggest everyone leave the room for him to rest!" Joe ordered.
"Joe… you're starting to act like a bossy nurse!" Davis teased. "I don't care!" Joe snapped. "Out!" And slowly, everyone left the room…
"Try to get some sleep, okay Ken?" Joe gave one last smile and closed the door behind him.
Ken can't help but chuckle at his best friends' remarks, and finally, went back to sleep.

"Ken, we brought you some food-" The young DDs came inside Ken's room only to find him standing outside his balcony. "Ken?" Davis called as Yolei settles the tray on Ken's table.
Ken leaned on the rail and looked down as his eyes were covered by his bangs. "Is it reacting again?" Cody asked, trying to keep his voice calm. Ken shook his head, which gave the DDs a wave of relief.
"I was just thinking…" Ken paused. "About things" His voice trembled.
"What things?" T.K. asked as the DDs leaned on the rail with Ken. "The day… when I transferred to Odaiba Elementary… when I got caught by Black Widow. And…" he shivered. "The fireworks…"
"You still haven't forgotten about that?" Cody asked.
"How can I forget all the things you've done for me?" Ken sobbed, cupping his mouth to avoid himself from choking. But it didn't work for he already choked from his sobs.
"I feel so helpless… all the things you've done for me… I… I don't know how to repay you!" Ken whispered. "You don't need to repay us, Ken! Just being your friend is already a big and valuable thing!" Kari smiled.
"I'm really sorry!" Ken apologized.
"For what? The trouble we got in to save your life? You shouldn't be sorry about that, Ken!" Davis smiled. "You know we're always here, right?"
Ken slightly nodded. "You'll never be alone!" Cody smiled.
"HEY, GUYS! COME DOWN HERE FOR A MOMENT!" Tai's voice came from downstairs. "What is it, Tai?" Kari yelled back.
"SEE FOR YOURSELF!"

"Sparklers?" The young DDs gasped as Matt and Tai took out a few boxes from a plastic bag. "A vendor was selling some of these with discounts. And since, New Year is fast approaching, I thought we might buy some!" Joe explained.
"That's right… it's December 29 right now!" Ken looked at the calendar. 'They've been here for 4 days now… all for me!' Ken smiled. "Mom and Dad will be coming home 2 days from now, ne Wormmon?" Ken asked his partner Digimon on the floor.
"Yes, Ken!" Wormmon nodded. "Why don't we get some of these working, then?" Joe suggested as he handed them out to everyone.

It may not be like last time… but fireworks are fireworks. Fireworks + Friends = Fun (A/N: Hey! ^^ F4!!! ^^ Hahaha!)
The company of his friends is enough for Ken. He stared at the sparks that flew out of the Sparkler and can't help but notice that those sparks aren't different from them.
'It wouldn't be nice to see if there's only one spark coming out. It should be accompanied by a lot to notice its wonders.' He thought.
"Hey, Ken! Come and look at this!" Davis called. "Yeah! Coming!" Ken yelled back as he ran to the goggle boy. And there, on the ground, lay powdered ashes from the Sparklers.
And they weren't separated.
~ End… For good! ^^ ~
