Survival of Light and Hope Chapter 9: The Best Man
TK walked on the sidewalk of an Odiaba street with one thing on his mind: to choose his best man. He approached a large apartment building and walked in the door. It was quite windy for a mid-May day; TK wore his spring jacket out. He entered the building, headed into the elevator and pressed the button to the 6th floor. When he got out, he headed to the apartment labeled 212. He knocked on the door. "Hey, TK!" Sora answered the door. "What's up?" "Hey Sora, is my brother home?" TK asked her. "I'm not sure...I just got in from work like a minute ago. Let me check." Sora ran back into the apartment. TK could hear her footsteps check all of the room and head back to the door. "Sorry TK, I can't find him. I'm sure he'll be home soon." "Thanks Sora..." TK said, and walked off.
"I'm still having trouble trying to decrypt that prophecy that Gennai told us about last week..." Izzy said to Joe and Cody. "I know it must have to do with TK and Kari, and he said on the date of ninety one before a thousand, which is 909, but I'm not sure what that means either." "Well you know those prophecies were always confusing anyways Izzy," Joe said. "Yeah, but I'm sure when the time comes, it will all come together, just like it always does." Cody added. "Yeah, I guess you two are right. I shouldn't be thinking too hard about this." Izzy said.
Kari sat at the Takaishi residence flipping through a book of names. She was unaware that Nancy Takaishi, TK's mother, was peeking over her shoulder. "How about Angel? That's a nice name..." she said. Kari was startled, and when she realized it was just her, she calmed down again. "Yeah..." Kari giggled. She was looking for names...a name fore her child. That information was still having trouble sinking into to her head. She was having a baby. "Maybe for a boy." "Kari, I hope you realize the kind of decision you're making. Getting married is a very big thing..." "I know, Ms. Takaishi. And the truth is that I love your son with all my heart...and I know that I want to spend the rest of my life with him."
"So how are things going with Sora buddy?" Tai asked Matt, as the two friends walked down the sidewalk with ice cream cones. "Good. Great, in fact. And you and Mimi?" he asked in response. "Really great. I don't know how we clicked so well together so fast but everything's great. What about the Teenage Wolves? How are you guys doing?" "We're going to record our first record in October, actually. We'll be out of town for a week. We're finishing up our last few songs now, actually. Doesn't hurt to be prepared!" Matt laughed. "Matt! Wait up!" TK yelled, running up to the two young men. "Hey punk, what's the big fuss?" his older brother asked him. "Matt, I need to talk to you." "I'll let you two talk. See you guys later." Tai said, as he walked off. "So what's up bro?" Matt asked again. "I wanted to talk to you about the wedding. You see, I've been doing a lot of thinking, and...I want you two be my best man." Matt smiled. "I'd be honored, TK."
TK, Kari and their parents spent the next two months preparing for the wedding. For Kari's birthday which had been in July, TK took her to where they went on their first date as an official couple; The Venice. He had also bought her something extremely expensive, matching gold earrings with the Crests of Light and Hope on either side. She wore them every day since she received them from TK. The days crawled closer and closer to August 23rd. TK had also chosen Tai, Ken and Davis to be in the wedding party. There would be close to 150 people attending the wedding, including as much of TK and Kari's family they could invite from around the world, all the rest of the DigiDestined, Will and Michael were coming down from America yet again. TK even sent out an invitation to Chris Martin, the singer for Coldplay, but TK didn't expect he was going to come or anything. The closer they came to the date, the more excited to two got, but also they got more nervous. Neither TK's nor Kari's parents knew that the two had an apartment waiting for them, and frankly, they didn't want them to know about it yet.
TK and Kari both got through Grade 11 with good grades. Their parents were amazed how they managed to keep their grades up with everything that has been happening, and they seemed to think of TK and Kari being a lot more responsible than they thought they would have been. Tai, Matt, Mimi & Sora began to enjoy their summer right away. They went to America for two long weeks to California for a break. When they got back, the girls were tanned and the guys were tattooed. TK and Kari finished their parenting class and their instructor had a meeting with their parents when it was all over. The instructor told them that TK and Kari were some of the brightest young kids in their class, and that she was confident in their parenting skills. Their parents found nothing to argue about.
One warm August afternoon, Matt and TK were having lunch at a local fast food restaurant. Matt brought up an interesting idea. "Hey TK, you know what all guys do before they get married right?" "What are you talking about, Matt?" "Well, you might be a little too young, but I think we should do it anyway. I'm talking about a bachelor's party, man!" "Oh Matt...I don't think Kari would like that idea." "Oh come on, bro! It'll be fun!" "I'm not sure; I'll have to think about it." "Okay, and when you do, tell me, I'll take care of everything." TK thought to himself. A bachelor's party? Nahh. But there was one thing he wanted to do before he got married. One thing for sure.
