Disclaimer: I do not own digimon.

Sorry it's taken me a while to update; I've been busy with basketball and school and, honestly, I've just been getting really worn out from everything. And yeah, I could tell that this chapter wasn't going to be all that good. I feel like this chapter isn't very good at all, but then again I've never liked my own writing. I needed to write another chapter, though, so please bare with me. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter, and once again I'm sorry for making you all wait. Oh, by the way, thanks for the reviews and I hope you guys keep reviewing.

Chapter 25:

Matt was starting to get not only annoyed but also worried. He and his father didn't get much sleep the previous night because they were so excited about TK being back. The plane was going to be in Odaiba by seven in the morning, so, naturally, they got there at five thirty in the morning. He actually wasn't late for something.

Matt did not talk to his dad, but no words really needed to be said. They both wanted TK back so badly. Before last night, the two of them rarely saw each other, let alone talk to each other. But that was the effect that TK had on people. He could fill people up with hope without even being there.

He was caught off guard when his father cleared his throat. He looked at his dad. His dad looked like he hadn't got a good night's sleep in a week, maybe more. Matt noticed that his father had more wrinkles on his face, and his hair was even turning gray a little bit. He felt guilty for always being mad at him.

"Matt… I…. I just want to say that I'm sorry. I haven't been much of a father recently, and I know that everything has been hard on you as well. I have been just worrying about myself and trying to work away my feelings. It was wrong of me to do so. Can you forgive me?"

Was this really happening? His dad rarely apologized, but here he was. Matt hesitated because he wasn't sure if he could forgive his dad. He had put so much pressure on him and it only made things harder on him. But, as he looked into his father's eyes, he realized that despite all of that his father still loved him, and, although he was slow to admit it, he still loved his father.

"Of course, dad. But, can you forgive me as well? I haven't really made things easier for you. I never once thought about how hard all of this was on you; I only got angry at you. Can you forgive me?"

His father smiled at him and nodded. Matt smiled back, but just as they did so an airport employee dressed in a dark blue coat walked up to them.

"Can I help you guys?"

Matt watched his dad shake his head and look at the man.

"Umm, no thank you. We are just waiting for my son to fly in…"

"He's not on Flight 347: Paris to Odaiba, is he?"

Matt instantly knew something was wrong by the tone of the man's voice. What was it that he sensed, worry, concern?

"Yes, that is the plane. Is there something wrong?"

"Well, two of the plane's engines broke down and the plane was plummeting to the ground and the pilot had no control over the plane. By some miracle, though, the plane landed safely. No one was hurt. I heard that the passengers are waiting to be picked up and taken to another airport where they will be flown here, but it will take a couple of days."

The man pulled out a computerized tablet and continued,

"If you give me your name and your phone number, we will contact you when we find out more information."

Matt looked at his dad who now had his worried expression back on.

"Wait a second! You're telling me that my son's plane broke down?"

"Yes sir, but he is ok. All of the passengers survived. Like I said, it's a miracle."

"Umm… ok. My name is Hiroaki Ishida and my phone number is…"

Matt phased in and out. He had been so ready to finally see TK that this news was hard to believe. He thought it was all some sort of sick joke, but then he looked at the television and saw a breaking news report about "Plane Crash: No one injured." Matt put his hands over his face and sighed. Why couldn't life just be simple?

"Matt, I think we should get going."

"Huh? … oh, right."

He walked out of the airport with his father. They both were so confused, and the sadness that had disappeared the previous night had returned. Would they ever see TK again?

Flying through the desert without food or water sucked. It was really hard on him, and he couldn't imagine what TK was going through. The heat, the wind, the sand in the face, the hunger, the thirst. As a digimon, he was more accustomed to harsher conditions, but TK, he wasn't doing well at all. The first couple of hours he was fine, but as time went on TK looked like he was getting more and more exhausted. He wasn't saying anything at all, and, it just looked like his body was slowly dying. Pegasusmon needed to find help, but how were they going to do that in the middle of a desert?

A desert, of all places, that was where the plane had to crash. And Pegasusmon had no idea where they were at all. TK had showed him which direction to fly using what he called a compass, but he doubted that machine's correctness. It didn't seem like they were getting any closer to Odaiba.

As they were flying, he felt TK slide off of him.

"TK!"

Pegasusmon looked down and saw his partner falling, unconscious, towards the sand of the desert. To say he freaked out was an understatement. Pegasusmon quickly swooped down so that he was right above TK. He formed his golden noose and caught TK in it. With TK being safe, Pegasusmon carefully laid him down on the sand and stood next to him. Now what was he going to do? TK wasn't waking up. He was shaking badly and his mouth was partially open. The good news was that TK was alive, but the bad news was that he needed help and they were in the middle of a desert.

It didn't help that it was starting to get dark out as well. Pegasusmon looked around. "Great," he thought, "Now I don't know which way to go!"

As he looked around he was able to see something green in the distance. Grass? Had they finally made it through the desert. Hope built up in him. There had to be people somewhere close by. Maybe they could help TK.

Pegasusmon finally decided that the safest way for them to continue would be if he digivolved into Angemon. As quickly as he could he reverted back into Patamon but then digivolved into Angemon. Once finished, he scooped up his partner in his arms and flew as fast as he could towards the spot where he saw the grass.

"Hang in there TK…"

"Oh Davis…"

Kari couldn't help but laugh as Davis did a victory dance. He was sure one goofy kid, but that was why she loved him. Woah, did she just say the "L" word?

As she watched Davis, smiling, she couldn't help but wonder what she was doing. A relationship, at a time like this? Shouldn't she be more worried about finding TK? She couldn't help but feel guilty. Besides, did she really want a relationship with Davis. As she thought about this, though, she remembered last night.

Yesterday was one of the best days of her life, but she was confused about it. She, Cody, Yolei, and Davis had gone out to watch a movie. Davis had tried to impress Kari so much that night. He bought her popcorn, he sat next to her and laughed whenever she laughed during the movie even if he didn't think it was funny, and he even tried to hold her hand. When Davis made this move, Kari's first reaction was to swat his hand away, but she couldn't. Their hands, entertwined, brought up some unknown feeling inside of her. As they watched the movie, holding hands, all she could think about was how much she enjoyed having Davis's hands touching hers.

She never once came close to being in a relationship. Sure, many boys had tried, but none had ever gotten to her. That was, until she met Davis.

So many girls in the school would pay anything for Davis to be their girlfriend, but Davis ignored them all. He only had one girl in mind, her. Kari used to laugh at Davis's attempts and always told people that she found them to be annoying, but really, she enjoyed his efforts so much. No matter how much she denied it, she had feelings for Davis. The night they hung out at the movies confirmed it.

Holding hands during the movie wasn't the end of that night, though. No, it got worse, or better, Kari wasn't sure. Once the movie was done they all went and got icecream. After that, Yolei and Cody walked home. Kari said goodbye and started walking to her apartment, but Davis ran up and walked next to her. He walked her home and they talked about random stuff. Kari enjoyed having Davis there with her, and yes, they held hands. Kari was sad that Davis had to go when they reached her apartment, but she put on a smile and told him thanks for making the night a great one. She gave him a hug and told him good night, but as she was about to pull away from the embrace, Davis tilted his head and leaned in to her. She couldn't believe that she did the same, and their lips met.

Now, here she was, telling Davis yes to his asking if she wanted to go out with him. She felt so confused and ashamed, but she also felt happiness. That was something that she hadn't felt in a long time. Not many people were able to make her happy when she was afraid, scared, and worried. In fact, the last time someone had that effect on her was four years ago during the battle against Diaboromon.

They had been waiting in the hospital to see if TK was going to be alright. TK had got hurt during the battle and they all were worried sick about him. After waiting for a little less than an hour the doctor came out and let them inside. As they walked inside, she looked at TK and his sapphire eyes looked right at her mahogany's. TK had the hugest smile on his face, and all of her worries, fears, and sadness were instantly shot out and she beamed back at him, smiling as well.

TK. He was definitely a touchy subject. They had been best friends before, well, the incident against Diaboromon. She remembered all the times that they used to hang out together, all of her adventures with him in the Digital World. TK was everything to her back then, but now, he was gone. Actually, he was somewhere in the real world, but that was beside the point. The point is that she hasn't seen him for four years and had given up all hope of seeing him ever again. The past week, she had been so excited about getting TK back, but now it seemed as if he was further than ever before. Especially if the part about his memory being gone was true.

She wanted TK back, but in the meantime she was happy that Davis was here. And if she was going to try this relationship thing then she was going to do it right. She put her hands on Davis's shoulder stopping him from dancing, and then moved them to his head. She moved her head closer to his and closed her eyes. His lips met her's, and a warm feeling rushed inside of her causing her to blush. Whether it was out of enjoyment or shame, she wasn't sure.
