Me: I…won't…change…the ending!
Tai: If you don't, then I'll have WarGreymon turn you into shishkabob for the neighborhood kids!
Me: Do I want to be shishkabob? No I don't! READ THE FREAKIN' DISCLAIMER, AND IT'S A DEAL!
Tai: Yes! Our understanding and loving author doesn't own Digimon!
Me: For a price.
Tai: I knew there was a catch! Okay, how much?
Me: (laughs evilly) There's no money involved. Just one date with Sora.
Tai: WHAT?! OVER MY DEAD BODY!
Kari: Tai, it's just one date!
Sora: I'm sure he'll be a perfect gentleman, won't you?
Me: I won't make a single move.
Tai: (grumbles) Deal! And you better change the ending!
Me: Already workin' on it, Goggle Boy.
Tai: You're one to talk-Goggle Head.

The Rift between Courage and Love
Epilogue-Just one kiss
Davis knew he'd seen Kari in an alleyway, but he knew he couldn't just leave Yolei high and dry when he'd brought her here in the first place! He spoke with his eyes to Kari, "We'll talk tomorrow. I've got to take Yolei home." Kari nodded to show that she'd understood. Davis broke eye contact with Kari and walked Yolei home.
"This was a great night, Davis. Thanks."
Davis blushed and kept his eyes focused on the ground. "Don't mention it. So, am I forgiven?" Yolei smiled and nodded in response.
Davis felt a huge weight lifted off his heart. She'd forgiven him! He looked up and suddenly felt Yolei's lips pressed tightly against his own. His thoughts vanished and all sense he'd had moments ago was gone as he kissed back with pent-up passion.
"I thought Kari was the only girl for me. I guess Veemon was right-there are other fish in the sea!" Three minutes into the kiss, Davis reluctantly broke it off. He gasped for breath and blushed as heavily as Yolei did.
"That…was great, Yolei." Davis replied.
"R-really?"
"Really. So, do you want to go out again tomorrow night, after we visit Tai?"
"Okay!"
Davis waited until Yolei went inside before screaming with joy.
"YESSSSSSSSSSSS! KA-CHING! THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU!"
Tai was admitted out of the hospital early on account of he healed fast. He came out with Sora on one side-whose head was on his shoulder-and Kari on the other.
"Awesome! We didn't have to visit, but we decided to come anyway, and you're well. Tai, I'm sorry for all the stuff I put you through this past week. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be here in the first place." Davis apologized. Tai smiled calmly.
"If you hadn't put me here, you might not have found out about your feelings for Yolei. So, I'm not mad at all. But I accept your apology Davis. Now let's get out of here before we're hit by a speeding car!" Everyone laughed as they left the hospital-except Kari. Now she was confused about her feelings.
"I thought I loved T.K. and just considered Davis a friend! What can I do?"
"Hey, Kari. You okay?" Davis asked calmly. Kari gasped as she looked up at Davis, who had a concerned look on his face-the look Tai used to have when he looked after her during the time of the Dark Masters.
"Uh, yeah Davis. I'm okay."
Home. The place where Kari could spill her guts out to the one person who'd understand her, but Gatomon was out, so she had to settle with telling Tai.
"Tai, have you ever had to make a decision about who you loved more?" Tai turned to Kari with a questioning look, but smiled calmly.
"Don't tell me-Davis, right? All of a sudden, now that he's found happiness with Yolei, you're finding out that you have hidden feelings?" Kari nodded worriedly.
"What can I do? I don't want to lose Yolei as a friend, but I want to tell Davis how I feel without him breaking Yolei's heart!" Kari felt like crying, but Tai pulled her into a hug.
"Tell Davis how you feel, and let him take the initiative on it. That way, it'll be his decision and not yours." Kari smiled broadly as she slowly pulled away from her brother.
"Thanks, Tai!" Kari ran out of Tai's room a moment later.
"I'd better keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't do anything stupid." Tai picked up the phone and called Sora's house. The redheaded girl answered a moment later.
"Hello?"
"Sora, it's me."
"Tai…What's up?" Tai smiled lightly. He knew his surprise call had caused her to blush a bit. He could tell by the sound of her voice.
"Kari's afraid that she may have feelings for Davis, but I think she's just confused on who she really wants. I suggest that you and I tail her, from a distance and see what's going on. Afterward, I'll take you out for dinner." "Anything for you, Tai." Tai's smile widened, as he knew that Sora's blush had increased a bit.
"Okay, I'll see you in a few minutes. Love you, Sora."
"Love you too, Tai. Bye." (click)
Tai hung up the phone and prepped himself for departure but Gatomon chose to come back at that moment.
"What's going on? I'm coming back from a fish raid and Kari's saying something about Davis and T.K. and mixed feelings?"
"I'll tell you later, Gatomon. On my way back from my date, I'll see if I can get you some fish." Tai grabbed his jacket and ran out the door.
Davis was with Yolei at the park when Kari suddenly came up to them, gasping for breath.
"Kari? You okay?" Davis asked.
"Yeah…I need…to talk to you…alone, if possible." Nodding, Davis politely excused himself for a moment. Normally, Davis would've jumped at a chance to talk with Kari alone, but now that he had Yolei, he was confused.
"Why me? After I've wanted Kari for so long, then I decide that Yolei's the girl for me, suddenly Kari comes around and wants me? Do I just attract girls or something?" Davis came to a stop and faced Kari with a confused look.
"Yeah, Kari?" Kari sighed and looked deep into Davis' eyes.
"Davis, I know there's no chance for us now, but I think I should tell you how I feel-"
Davis halted Kari with a finger. "Hold up, Kari. I know what you're trying to say and you're just confused on who you want. Why do you think I went through all that stuff with Sora and Yolei? I didn't know what I wanted in life, but I do now. Go to T.K. He's the one who's waiting for you right now." Kari smiled as Davis' advice made perfect sense. Yolei was watching them the entire time, but wasn't jealous at all. She knew that Kari had been there at the Karaoke bar that night when they left, but didn't say anything to Davis.
"Thanks Davis. Could I at least have…?"
Davis smirked. "As long as Yolei doesn't kill me." He joked. Kari leaned forward and shared one kiss with Davis for about five seconds. That was enough time. Davis smiled as Kari turned and left. Yolei, Tai and Sora came in a moment later. Davis wrapped a protective arm around Yolei.
"Where's Kari going?" Tai asked.
"To find her heart." Before Yolei could say anything, Davis pulled her into a kiss that lasted much longer than his previous one. Things were finally back to normal-at least for now. Tai smiled as he pulled Sora away to go out on their date.
"Sora, on the way home, can we stop by the fish market?"
"How come, Tai?"
"Oh, 'cause, uh…Dad's in the mood for fish fillet tonight!"
"Gatomon couldn't get any fish in the afternoon?"
"Nope. Not a thing."
Finished! R&R!
