Beth: We're very sorry for any OOC-ness in TK...but try not to think about it as TK.
Kitsune: This fanfic is starting make me physically ill.
Beth: I promise, I'll write one about you and Matt! And to you Takari peopled, there will be a nice, sweet, sappy, romantic, SHORT Takari coming up soon.

Kitsune: *rolls eyes* Just, read the fic.
Beth: Also, we're sorry about the HP-reference.
Kitsune: We are?
Beth: Okay, I am. You're not. *pauses* Why am I sorry about all the stuff in OUR fic?
Kitsune: Youre not. I'm sorry we even THOUGHT of the thing.
Beth: *indignatly* Hey!
Kitsune: Oh and the question? I just did it for reviews...Bwahahaha!
Beth: *dryly* What else would you expect from a girl who calls herself the Heir of Voldemort?
Kitsune: I don't think they know who Voldemort is. *to audience* Voldemort is the big, evil bad guy in the Harry Potter books. He kicks ass. And this Cho is NOT Cho Chang!
Part Six: The Joke Revealled
Back at the park....
Matt parked his car hurridly and tore out of it, running up to a pissed-off looking TK and a scared-looking Kari.
"You! You don't even trust your own brother with your girlfriend?" TK asked indignantly, shaking with rage. He started to take a swing at Matt's jaw.
"NO! TK, don't! It's just a joke!" Kari shrieked.
"What?" TK yelped.
Matt just stood there, rolling his eyes and shaking his hand. Then he moved out of line of TK's fist.
"It's a joke." Kari repeated.
"A-a-a joke?" TK repeated in a monotone.
"Yes, a joke. Like 'ha, ha', funny?" Matt said.
"Tk, let me talk to you." Kari said to TK, then looked pointedly at Matt, "Alone."
"Point taken." Matt walked off.
"But what if I don't want you to talk to me?" TK asked savagely, recovering his anger.
"You are going to talk with me." Kari said thourhg gritted teeth.
"I suggest you should!" Matt called.
"Matt, you're not far enough away!" Kari screamed at him.
"Sorry!" Matt yelled back as he disappeared from view.
"Now, are you calm down enough to listen to what I have to say?" Kari asked.
"Fine." TK said, sitting down beside her on the bench.
"Now, it was a joke. I couldn't STAND that snot-nosed, hot-headed, ahem, jackass that you call your friend. He wouldn't leave me alone! And you weren't helping things any!" Kari said. "So, I was really pissed off..." and she went on to explain the whole story about Davis. "...and he told me about his troubles with Jun...so, we decided to play an...erm...joke on them...but of course, you had to take things out of proportion. You know, you and your brother have the exact same temperment!"
And it seemed that some of it wore off on you. TK privately thought, "Well, I'm kinda hurt that you didn't tell me that."
"I tried to! You were avoiding me! And my brother is even worse!" Kari exploded. Then she calmed down, "Can I tell you something? You have to swear that it will between you, me and that tree behind us...and maybe the bench we're sitting on."
"What?" TK asked suspicously.
"Well...I never liked you the way you thought...I mean I thought you for a long time, but things have sort-of, maybe, kinda...." Kari said, "changed." she finished and took a deep breath, "I now, kinda, sotra, really..." then in one big breath, she blurted, "IlikeMatt."
"WHAT?!?!" TK screamed.
"Shut up!" Kari shouted, flinging her hand over TK's mouth, "Right now, I'm as close to actually DATING him as I'll possibly be, so keep your mouth shut! I mean it! If you ruin it for me, so help me God..." she left it up to TK to imagine what horrors she would cause. She removed her hand from his mouth.
"Okay." TK whispered. "And...uhh...I don't really like you in that kinda way either, any more...I mean I thought I did too...but now I like..."
"Who?" she asked.
"Cho." TK whispered.
"Cho?" Kari asked, not being able to recognise the name.
"Cho, you know, the brunette that sits in the back of the room?" TK asked.
"Oh, her!" Kari said.
"So...erm..are you gonna go tell Matt?" TK asked hesitantly.
"NO!" Kari shouted, "And if you breath ONE word about this conversation....well, I'll leave it up to you..."
"What conversation? We're we talking about something?" TK asked innocently.
"Good boy." Kari said, Now, how in the heck am I gonna get up the courage to tell Matt?...If I do tell him that is... she walked off to find Matt and tell him that TK wouldn't need to be dragged off by the men in white.
In the meantime...
Matt had stopped on a bridge, lost in thoughts of his recent...er...revelation about his and Kari's relationship...he was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice the annoying, Christmas-tree-like-haired twit coming up beside him.
"Hi, Matt!" Jun said perkily, "Where's that little brat?"
"She is NOT a brat." Matt said through gritted teeth.
"Whatever." Jun scoffed.
"If I hear ONE more word about me, you won't be able to SPEAK for a week." Kari had walked up.
"Well, well, well...if it isn't Little Miss..." Jun began.
BAM!
Jun was cut off as Kari punched her in the mouth.
"What happened?" TK asked, running up.
"Kari...just....just...PUNCHED Jun." Matt said, dazedly. He got over his shock and started laughing.
"What was that you were saying about me?" Kari asked sweetly.
"Bitch!" Jun spat.
"I believe your promise was that she couldn't speak for a week, Kari." Matt said helpfully.
"Right." so Kari punched Jun again.
"I believe your promise is fufilled, Kari." TK said.
"Well, you can't call me a liar." Kari shrugged and walked away. Then she stopped and turned back, "And Tai's birthday is tomorrow. You're invited."
"Okay." Matt said.
Jun limped off, nursing her bleeding mouth.
"And Matt, be really nice to my brother. I want him speaking ot me sometime before college." Kari said, then walked off.
Well, we've settled the TK thing...but what about the Tai thing...crap, what if Davis is there? Matt thought, a not-so-good feeling creeping over him. I can handle Tai, but Tai and his clone? What a sec, what if Davis tries to hit on Kari. Am I supposed to stick up for her? Well, I should...I mean, we're supposed to be going out...but what if it's too convinving? People will think I like-LIKE her... then he stopped,
"But I do like-LIKE Kari, so what's the problem?" he asked out loud, "I know what the problem is. I have to stop having conversations with myself."
TK's eyes bugged out.
Matt looked over, "Did you hear anything?"
"No." TK blurted, his eyes returning to normal size, "I didn't hear anything about you saying you like-LIKE Kari. Or the fact that Kari--" then he clapped his hands to his mouth, mentally kicking himself.
"What did she say?" Matt asked in a dangerous tone.
"Nothing, nothing at all." TK said though his hands.
"I suggest you tell me if you want your DigiVice to work the next time you're in the Digital World." Matt said, grabbing TK by the collar.
"Well, well....I'll tell you...if you let go of me." TK said.
"Fine." Matt let go of him. Then TK took off, running towards the car. "TK, get your butt back here!"
TK didn't heed his words. Matt sighed, then took after him. TK literally jumped into the passanger side seat.
"Now, tell me, if you want a ride." Matt said, getting into the driver's seat.
"Well...er...Kari....uhhh...." TK took a deep breath, "Reallylikesyou."
"WHAT?!?!?!?!?!"
"You can't tell her I told you, she'll kill me!" TK yelped.
"Get out of the car." Matt said in a shocked, monotonous voice.
"But--"
"Out of the car." Matt repeated in the same tone.
"Uhh...okay..." TK said, getting out and closing the door.
Then, without warning, Matt peeled out of the park's parking lot.
"Oh great. I'm the one who hooks them up and what do I get as thanks?" TK grumbed, coughing from the exhaust fumes. "No ride home. And no 'girlfriend'....ahh, but wait...other girls! Bwahaha!"
Kitsune: See, we made TK happy? NO FLAMES!!!
Beth: We don't need them. If you don't like this, read something esle! See, *clears throat and goes into 'lecture mode'* See, the constitution gives us the right to free speech. And descicions. Do you know what descisions are?
Kitsune: Please don't patronize the audiance. We need them for reviews.
Beth: *pauses* That was just for the flamers. Why would the nice people need to be patronized?
Kitsune: *rolls eyes* Just watch for the next part. There's only about...*counts* two parts left? They're written, well, not written, they're just written in our heads.
