Kari sat at her desk tapping her pencil staring at the clock. 2:40. 2:41. 2:42
" Come on 3:30, come already." Kari thought. She was dying to get to the digital world. Yolei had mysteriously disappeared in the heat of an argument and hadn't been seen since. Hawkmon, who had been quietly sleeping in a tree nearby, had blamed himself for not watching and protecting her. Now the small, worried digimon was probably still frantically searching for his missing friend.
Kari glanced at TK, who was in the row next to her own. He too, had his eyes locked on the clock, as if willing it to move. Kari saw his intense stare and worried expression. She knew he was ready to jump up and dash out the moment the bell rang.
"Pssst...TK" Kari whispered to get his attention. TK jumped as he suddenly snapped back to reality.
"What?" He whispered back in reply
"Where do you think Yolei is?" Kari asked, trying her best not to let the math teacher hear her. Her math teacher was a tall, beak nosed lady who was very strict and did not approve of talking in class. Her once-red hair was beginning to gray, as she was probably in her mid-sixties. Despite her age, she kept a very strong posture, striking fear into the hearts of all her students.
"I'm not sure. Actually, I don't have a clue. Hey how did you know I was thinking about that?" TK whispered, being equally as cautious, for he too knew the terror only known as Mrs. S.(math teacher)
"I think all of us have been thinking about that. I mean, it's not like her to disappear without calling. And it's even wierder for her to miss school, I thought she loved it." Kari whispered, however not softly enough to avoid attracting the attention of the math teacher.
" MISS KAMIYA! MR TAKAISHI!" A loud, squwaky voice hollered. The whole class began to turn, and a few people began to giggle softly. Both TK and Kari turned a light shade of pink as Mrs. S. crossed her arms and tapped her foot on the floor. "Wolud either of you care to explain? Miss Kamiya?" Mrs S. said as she fixed Kari with a piercing stare.
"Um...we were...we were... we were just ta-talking about the problem on th-th-the board" Kari stuttered. TK could be heard letting out a sigh of relief.
"Then perhaps you two would like to come up to the board and show the class the brilliant ideas you two were pondering over." Mrs. S. said sarcastically, holding up a piece of chalk. Kari and Tk slowly rose from their seats, exchanging nervous glances. TK took the chalk from the teacher's hand as the two approached the board. Kari gasped as she read the problem to herself. It was one of those with only variables, and neither she not Tk were very good at abstract thinking. TK read the problem out lous softly to himself and to Kari.
"Sheesh, we have to solve this?" Tk whispered to Kari. The problem was new to them. They had never done anything like this before. The problem read: [(x+y)x+b-(y/x)]/xy+by+x=bx:solve for b
"I'm waiting" the teacher crackled.
"Okay" Hikari whispered to TK. "Maybe we can do the parentheses and make it... hmm, lemme think... x squared plus yx plus y/x times b over x plus b plus x/y equals bx"
TK wrote it on the board.
"Maybe we could subtract x from both sides?" Kari whispered
"No" Tk answered "It's multiplication not addition"
"Well, divide then" Kari replied
"Kari! Look at the problem and tell me how we are supposed to do that!" Tk whispered back
"oh..." Kari began, but was interupted by the bell ringing, dismissing them from class.
"Class dismissed. Kari, TK, I expect this problem to be done for me on paper and handed in tomorrow morning." The math teacher said. Tk jotted the problem down before rushing to the computer lab, almost tripping over his books.
There in the lab he met Kari, Cody, and Davis. The 4 children opened the digiport and soon felt a slight pull before they found themselves freefalling into the digital world, crashing right into...Hawkmon!
"huh...?" Hawkmon said, sounding rather scatterbrained. "OH! Have any of you heard fom Yolei?" Hawkmon exclaimed with a glimmer of hope. The four digidestined cast their eyes downwards. Tears sprung to Hawkmon's eyes.
"Oh don't worry" Kari said, wrapping her arms around the litle digimon. "We'll keep looking until we find her. I promise."
"Thanks Kari" Hawkmon sniffed, wiping a tear from his eyes.

Meanwhile...
The digimon emperor and empress stood on a balcony in clear view of any digimon wandering by. The balcony was bout halfway up from the bottom of the base, and came out about 4 or 5 yards from the wall of the base. The two patiently awaited the arrival of the digidestined. They didn't have to wait long.
"KEN!" 4 voiced yelled simultaneously.
"We should have known! what have you done to her?!" Davis exclamed in pure rage.
"Oh I havn''t done anything to her" The digimon emperor said cooly to the children on the ground in their view beneath them.
"Oh and wer'e suppose to believe that she came up to YOU and ASKED to join you!" Kari exclaimed, half in shock, half in disbleief.
"That's close enough to it, Kari" Yolei said to her once-best 'friend'
"I can't believe that Yolei. I know you wouldn't do that to us. To me" Hawkmon said, almiost in tears.
"Well none of you saw when she left, did you?" Ken replied.
"We were arguing!" TK exclaimed
"Some team" Ken said. "You can't even keep track of your own members"
"NO!!!!" Kari yelled. "I don't believe you! I can't, and I won't!!!"
"Oh you better believe it, miss Kamiya" Ken said, putting his arm around Yolei's waist. Yolei made no attempt to move away, and instead moved closer, never taking her hate filled eyes off Kari.
"You've always thought you were better than me, didn't you kari? You thought that I was just some girl you could look at and see how perfect you were compared to me. Well I'm not that girl you thought I was and YOU will never be better than me. Look what I have now. I'm on top of the world now. And I have something else that I know you, and every other girl in Japan, wants." Yolei said. With the last few words, Yolei turned to Ken.
The digidestined stood there in total shock and confusion. They didn't know that Yolei was with Ken. They didn't know why. They didn't know how. They didn't know when, and to both Davis and TK's horror, they didn't know that Kari liked Ken.
"Yolei I never..." Kari started
"Just shut up Kari, I don't want to hear it. I know what youre going to say. Yolei I never thought that. Yolei you know don't think that. Yolei i would never use you like that. Kari You are so predictable. I know your lies you've stuffed them in my face before. I'm tired of you and your stupid stories. And Ken offered to let me join his side, and I accepted. On my own." Yolei said, her rage resurfacing.
"Yolei I.." TK started
"Don't believe her?" Ken said.
" NO I don't believe that. She would never join you!" Davis exclaimed.
Ken opened his mouth to come back at Davis, but Yolei held up her finger to silence him. Ken looked at her and tried to read her eyes for a sign of what she was doing as the digidestined stared in confusion at the two.
Yolei Stepped up to face Ken and looked up at his eyes, even if he was wearing the glasses again. Ken got her hint. With that He Pulled her in And wrapped his arms around her waist as she wrapped her own arms around his neck and kissed her deeply. She kissed back. It wasn't like the kiss before. It was a real kiss.
