TK was sitting at his kitchen table. Kari was carefully applying a bandage to his temple.

"I can do that myself, he didn't kill me." TK was talking like it was a joke. Kari was not in a laughing mood.

"Why did you let him do that? What were you trying to prove? Trying to show me you were strong?" Kari was mad. TK was just being a macho guy, and she had said she loved him. She was having second thoughts now.

"I didn't do it for you, I'm sorry. I did it for Davis." TK was disappointed that she missed his point.

"For Davis?" Now she was surprised. She was expecting him to defend his arrogant male nature. "Why?"

"To show him that physical strength doesn't make you strong, and maybe you could have a day without him bothering you." Kari looked liked she approved of that reasoning. TK thought for a second. "Looks like I did do it for you." That did it. Kari believed him. She now knew she loved him. "Did you mean what you said earlier, Kari? Do you love me?"

Kari didn't even think about it. She did not have to. "Yes, TK. I do."

"I love you to, Kari. I'd face down Davis as many times as it takes to be with you." Kari wasn't happy that TK would invite physical punishment to prove his love. She sighed, she knew guys could never understand. She hugged him.

It scared Kari to screaming, TK too, when Matt and Tai burst through the door. They were out of breath, and sweaty from running a long way.

"My god, TK! Are you alright?" Matt was very concerned for his brother. Like Tai and Kari, this pair of siblings was close.

"I'm fine. He hits like a wuss." TK's joke didn't go over well with anyone. Matt explained to TK and Kari about their earlier talk with Davis, and Kari explained about their encounter at the park. During all the explaining, Tai let Sora, Izzy, and Joe in because they had heard the news and were concerned for their friends.

Joe walked over and pushed Kari away from the front of TK. She was insulted, but Joe started examining TK with his medical training. They all knew he was in medical school.

"You people know nothing about these kinds of things." Joe was acting like his usual smug self, but no one minded, Joe was the reliable friend everyone should have. He walked over the fridge and pulled out a defrosted but uncooked steak. He walked back to TK, removed Kari's ice pack, and put the steak in place. Joe then grabbed Kari's shoulders and physically placed her back in the chair. "He'll need rest, fluids, and lots of your love, Kari."

Kari was taken aback by that. So was TK. "But, I, don't, love..." She was stumbling.

"Yes you do," said Sora, smiling. "Sorry to break it to you, but you two are as easy to read as a hundred foot billboard. Kari's and TK's faces went red-hot, but they did agree with Sora.

"Don't cook it now TK, we have to have that steak for dinner!" Matt's comment did bring a much-needed laugh to the whole group.
