Me: As usual, I don't own Digimon. You already know about the coupling-Taiora, Daikari, blah, blah, blah. I also don't own "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls.
Davis: Really? DAIKARI?! You're the best!
Me: (irritated) Calm down, Davis! Explain the summary of Chapter IV to the readers.
Davis: Got it! (reads) "When Davis and T.K. both admit their feelings to Kari, will she decide who she would be happy with, but also whose heart she has to break, or will someone step aside and have their heart crushed? As for Operation: Get Matt & Mimi together, it almost works…until a slight accident at dinner causes the first plan to go haywire!" Whoa!
Me: You read too much.
Davis: (laughs; sweat-drops) Whoops! Sorry. Anyway, flames aren't appreciated, so if you're disappointed about the outcome of this story, then tough, 'cause writers have a different viewpoint of stories, too.
Me: Who are you, and where is Davis?
Davis: I'm still me. HEY! T.S.! Stay away from Kari. She's MY girl! (runs off)
Me: (sighs) Same old Davis…
Digimon
Trip to America
Chapter IV-Broken hearts, shattered dreams
T.K. and Patamon finally made it to the Statue of Liberty, but Davis, Kari and Yolei had left already!
"Where could they be?" he asked worriedly. T.K. quickly pulled out his D3 and tried to scan for them. "Got 'em! They're close by-the Empire State Building. Let's go, Patamon!"
"Davis, it looks gorgeous!" beamed Kari as they observed the rainy skies of New York inside the building.
"Yeah, especially since we're inside and not outside!" added Yolei cynically.
"True, but at least no one said anything when we came in." added Davis.
"Davis, we used Nefertimon, ExVeemon and Aquilamon just to get to the roof-and we had to break in from there, too. I'm surprised no one's sent police to try and find us." Explained Kari worriedly.
"That's 'cause I had Veemon and Gatomon jack up all the cameras on the roof and above us! No way can anyone find us up here." Declared Davis calmly.
A second later, T.K. and Angemon appeared.
"KARI!"
"AHHHHHHH!!!" yelled Davis as he fell back and hit the floor.
"So much for no one finding us!" cracked Gatomon as she sweat-dropped.
"The roof! We came in from there." Said Yolei.
Nodding, T.K. and Angemon flew upward.
Davis sighed as he turned to Kari. "I guess now's as good a time as any to tell you: Kari, ever since we met on the playground when we were 10-"
"Davis, we were nine when we met." Replied Kari.
"Whatever. Anyway, I've loved you ever since. I know you think this is just a crush and I'm a big jerk, but jerks have feelings too! No matter what happens, I'll always love you, and wait for you."
Despite the fact that Davis had poured out his heart and soul to Kari and not her, Yolei smiled.
"I'll wait for you too, Davis. No matter what." She thought with the smile still on her face. Kari's eyes brimmed with tears.
"Davis…I-"
"KARI! I've (gasps) gotta (gasps) talk to you!" gasped T.K. as he ran in! (A/N: He ran from who knows how many steps down to them! Why wouldn't he be tired?)
"Can it wait, T.K.? I'm talking to Davis."
"Sorry, but it can't. Ever since that day I saved you from Piedmon in the Digital World four years ago, I've wanted to keep you safe because-I love you!"
Kari gulped. T.K. had feelings for her? All this time…and she never saw.
"T.K…Davis…"
Davis looked as if he were about to cry, but put on a brave front. "Who knew? Well, T.K., if your future lies with Kari, then I wish you luck. Yolei, watch out for Veemon for me? I've got some things to take care of."
"But what about our plans? WHAT ABOUT MY SUNDAE?!" yelled Veemon.
Davis' smile remained plastered, although it was forced. "There's always Sunday. I gotta go."
"Davis, wait!" pleaded Kari, but Davis had broke into a run toward the elevator, allowing the tears to fall. Yolei held her anger-and her tears-in check as she grabbed Veemon and Hawkmon and raced after him.
"Ahhhh…that was delicious!" said Agumon.
"The best pizza I've ever had." Agreed Tai calmly. Matt and Mimi had actually started a conversation that he kept up with! What was different about this pizza restaurant was that there was a jukebox near them playing songs. Tai smiled. He had an idea-an an idea that would not only help out Matt and Mimi, but also allow him to spend time with Sora.
Tai got up and placed some change into the jukebox. Then he found the song he wanted, and pressed it. Within seconds, it started.
"Want to dance?" Tai asked with that smile that made Sora's knees turn to jelly. All she could do was nod.
As they passed by Matt and Mimi, Tai made a motioning move with his hand. Matt offered Mimi his hand.
"Would you care to dance?"
Mimi gasped slightly as her cheeks turned-what else?-pink. "Sure."
The four friends danced in tune with the music. Tai and Sora were kissing within two minutes of the song, whereas Matt was working up the nerve to tell Mimi.
"OK, Matt. This is your chance. Don't screw this up!"
"Mimi? I've got to tell you something."
"Go on. I'm listening." Mimi gave Matt her undivided attention.
"Well…it's like this. Ever since our time in the Digital World…I've had feelings for…a girl. But I confused my feelings for that girl towards someone else, and that's the main reason why I shot Tai."
"Well, that girl must be real special if you'd confuse your feelings for her. Do I know her?"
Matt blushed and turned to look at her.
"Actually…it's-"
Then, tragedy struck. A waiter, who wasn't looking where he was going, tripped and sent a whole plate of spaghetti towards Mimi's face! Matt tried not to laugh, but failed.
"Oh! And I suppose you think this is funny?"
"Not really, but…(snickers)"
"Then HERE! Try this on for size!" Mimi picked up some spaghetti sauce and covered Matt in the entire thing before storming off.
"Mimi! Wait! I didn't mean it…" Matt groaned as Tai and Sora came over.
"What happened? Why are you covered in spaghetti sauce?" asked Tai.
"Mimi…some jerk waiter tripped and sent a plate of spaghetti on her face. I tried not to laugh, but couldn't help it."
Tai eyed Matt with a look. "Go. Find her. Find her and talk to her. And before you do that-clean yourself up."
Nodding, Matt went to the bathroom to clean up, then ran out and went to find Mimi.
Davis collapsed on his hotel bed in tears and turned on the radio. Whenever he got this upset, he liked listening to sad songs. The Goo Goo Dolls were no exception-in some cases.
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
Chorus: And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Davis sobbed sadly as the words cut him to the quick. Could any of his friends understand what he was going through? Possibly not. Not even Kari herself.
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive
Chorus: And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Davis looked up as he saw someone come into his room. It wasn't Kari. It was the last person he'd expect to come in…
"Yolei? What are you doing here?"
"I saw through that tough act, Davis. You're hurting. Please tell me why."
Even though she knew that Davis would love only Kari, Yolei felt that she had to be there to comfort him.
"Why would you care? You sincerely think I'm a jerk! You even said it out loud for me to hear!" yelled Davis. He knew Yolei only wanted to help, but he didn't want to talk.
"Davis! That was a long time ago. You've matured since then…even if you won't admit it. I'm your friend and I want to know what's wrong." Insists Yolei.
Davis saw that she was fighting back her tears. She was being sincere.
"She does care about me…" he thought.
Davis collapsed into Yolei's arms in tears, allowing the floodgates to open. Unbeknownst to the two of them, Kari and T.K. came in unnoticed.
"Kari will never love me…she's got T.K. now…HE'D BETTER TAKE CARE OF HER!" screamed Davis before breaking out into tears again.
"Shhhh…it's OK. Let it all out, Davis. Let it all out…"
Chorus: And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am (repeat)
Davis: (crying) WHY WON'T KARI LOVE ME?
Me: Calm down, Davis.
Davis: CALM DOWN? KARI'S OUT WITH T.A. AND YOU'RE TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN?
Me: Yes. Things work out in the end. I think. R&R!
