-Howdy! Just like with the first one, I feel this songfic is unique in it's own way. The lyrics are mainly from Matt's point of view, but it focuses more on several different characters throughout. It's mainly Takari, of course, with a little Taiora and Mimato in it too... I'll admit I'm not much of a Mimato fan, but I felt they fit in really well with what I was trying to do here. I'll warn you now that the story doesn't match the lyrics word for word, so please don't get nitpicky with that. It's close enough, and it's the theme that really matters for this one. I'll admit that have thought about TK and Kari from time to time when I've heard this song but... Oh, forget it. Read it, and you'll find out. This probably could've been done much better in a better authors hand, but I didn't see anyone else using it so I figured I might as well give it a shot.
Disclaimer: Just like I didn't when you read the first one, I don't own Digimon now either.
Warning!: This is pure romantic dribble in the purest since of the word. Enjoy!
Two People Fell in Love
Sitting underneath the cover of a large tree, a young man of no more than eighteen stared up at the starry night sky humming a soft ballad to himself. A gentle evening breeze blew several strains of his sandy blonde hair flapping into two bright blue pools he used for eyes. His girlfriend of over six years giggled softly at him. She'd always wondered why he was so fond of that song. To self-conscious to sing the words aloud he was content to hum it to himself on a regular basis. His girlfriend pushed the hair out of his eyes, and kissed him on the cheek.
"What is it with you and that song anyway?"
"It's very special to me," he replied. "It's an old song my uncle use to sing a lot."
"I just think it's kind of funny that I've heard that song a million times already, and I still don't know one single word to it!" she laughed.
The boy smiled and looked down at the shorthaired brunette, and immediately got his eyes lost in her soft brown set. He could wandered around in them aimlessly for hours, and wouldn't mind it one bit. "You'll hear it one of these days. I'm saving that for a very special occasion."
The young lady's smile widened, as she ran her fingers through his short blonde hair. "So tell me... Just why is that song so special to you?"
"Let me ask you a question first. Have you ever wondered why we're here? Why we were put on this earth? Is there a reason for it? If there is then what is it?"
The girl thought it over for a moment. "Yeah sometimes... I guess the adventurous side in all of us can't help but hope there's some sort of special purpose in our lives. That we were all put on this earth for a reason... Kind of like our parents I guess. Your parents and my daddy were all Digidestined. They had to save the world several times, and that's the meaning their lives served."
"Well... That works for them, but I'm not sure if I'd completely agree with that for everyone..."
She looked at her boyfriend and smiled. "Let's take you for example then. Your already a very special person, and not just to me. You are the child of Hope and Light after all. That's bound to mean something down the road."
"I'm sorry, but you're wrong. There's a much simpler reason why I'm here. Nothing fancy, but beautiful in the same breath. Plain and ordinary and, I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Oh yeah... What's the reason you were born then?"
The young man's smile widened from ear to ear. He looked his girlfriend in the eyes, and answered with all the sincerity in his heart. "Two people fell in love."
********
Matt adjusted the microphone the way he wanted it, and then hopped off the small stage. He checked everything from that to the speakers, and he was impressed by the quality of the equipment he'd been supplied with. Mr. Kamiya sure didn't spare any expense when it came to making sure his little girl had the perfect wedding. Even Mother Nature was cooperating nicely providing a clear blue sky over the park and mild 82-degree Saturday afternoon. Not that that surprised him any. After all it wasn't two ordinary young people tying the knot, but two very special angels on Earth. He had a feeling God knew that as well, well at least that's what he believed. Matt had never seen anything else like them in all his twenty-three years. As early as the day they met when they were eight everyone could tell there was something between them, even though it took quite a few years afterwards for them to realize it themselves. He caught a glimpse of the newlyweds in the distance cuddling up close to each other. When he looked at them close enough he could almost swear he saw a faint aurora of light glowing around them whenever they were near each other. Even without that, it was moments like this he was more than proud to call that little scamp his brother.
"They've been husband and wife for a little over an hour now, and they haven't taken their hands off of each other since they said I do," a deep male voice said coming from Matt's right.
"Get over it Tai," Sora giggled. "I think it's sweet. This is their day, so let them enjoy it the way they want too."
"I wasn't really complaining," Tai smiled.
"You don't have much room to talk anyway!" Matt chuckled. "As I recall you two weren't much better after your wedding a couple of years ago." Matt turned to his two long time friends. Sora was clutching their eight-month-old son in her arms. The little guy seemed to find the inside of his eyelids more interesting than anything else that was happening around him.
"No, I don't think we were this blatant," Tai snickered, as he put his hand on Matt's shoulder. "I guess this makes us brothers now huh?"
Matt cringed jokingly. "Don't remind me."
"Hey!" Tai smacked him in the side of his arm.
"Aren't you going to be performing soon?" Sora asked.
"Any minute now, that is if we can get their attention long enough to get them on the dance floor!" Matt yelled in the couple's general direction, but of course they weren't paying him any mind. Matt didn't dabble much with the music business anymore, but he was more than happy to sing at his only brother's wedding. "I've got a very special song up my sleeve in fact that I think is just perfect for this occasion."
"I'll go see if I can pry them loose for you," Tai offered. "I think Davis has a crowbar in his trunk."
Tai went to do just that, minus the crowbar crack, while Matt climbed back up on stage. After a minute or two he saw Tai appearing with TK and Kari close behind him, still hand in hand of course. Matt giggled, and called for everyone to gather in a large circle around the stage over the microphone. He waited for everyone present to get settled in before he began.
"Now that I have everyone's attention let's get this show on the road. Of course we're all here today to honor the union of my baby brother Takeru Takashi, and a young lady I'm proud to call my new little sister Hikari." Matt paused as a brief wave of applause swept through the park. "Now need I remind you two that the honeymoon doesn't start until tonight, so if you guys could please restrain yourselves for another hour or two it would be greatly appreciated. I know that's been a little difficult for you two but..."
"Hey!" TK yelled from below in-between the laughter of most of the crowd.
"Now before I begin I'd also like to congratulate Kari's grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Yagami who I understand are celebrating their sixtieth wedding anniversary today. Here's to what will hopefully be a few more. Congrats you two," he wished, within another round of applause.
Mr. Yagami squeezed his wife's hand, and laughed out loud. They were sitting next to their daughter, Kari's mother, and her husband, and across from TK's mother and father. They never did get back together, but now they were at least getting along a lot better than they use to. They decided to call a truce for at least today, and be there together for the sake of their youngest son. It would prove vitally important to ease the worries on his mind that were mostly implanted there by their divorce all those years ago. Still, they were both amazed by the mood in the air. There was a comfortable and soothing feel to the occasion, and nether one them could help but be in a pleasant mood even around each other.
"We're not worried about that son!" Mr. Yagami laughed. "Once you get to be my age I'm simply happy for everyday I'm lucky enough to wake up to this beautiful woman's smiling face."
Matt smiled, and fiddled with the microphone one last time. "Okay, now that all the introductions are out of the way let's get the newlyweds up here, so they can start the first dance for us. Oh and guys. Try to pry your eyes off one another every once in a while, and pay a little attention to your feet so you don't trip all over each other. I know you two probably wouldn't mind all that much, but do it for the rest of us."
"We'll be fine!" Kari barked.
"If you say so," Matt giggled, as he slung his guitar strap over his shoulder. Instead of using the electric everyone had been accustomed to seeing, this time he chose a simple acoustic. "This song is a little different from what you were use to hearing from me in my younger days, but I felt it fit just right for this occasion. For more reasons than one. It was a song I first heard on a trip to America where I finally discovered what was really important in my life. I think you'll understand what I mean when it's all said and done." Matt gave a quick look over at Mimi who was sitting near Yolie and Ken a couple of tables down to the left of the stage. Mimi smiled back at him knowing full well he meant her.
Matt gazed at TK and Kari who were more than ready to begin. Worried they might start without him, Matt went ahead and started strumming at his guitar. He scanned his eyes across the crowd until he located Tai again who was parked at a table with Cody, Joe, and Izzy. Sora was sitting next to him cradling their baby in her arms. Matt remembered the day he was born like it was yesterday, and the complete chaos that broke out that day. Taichi Kamiya the courageous leader of the Digidestined who had lead them through so much at a young age. He who was so cool and calm planning out everything perfectly, but of course when the day came when Sora went into labor he panicked like a zebra who had just wandered into a lion's convention.
A baby's born in the middle of the night.
In the local delivery room.
They grab his feet, smack him 'til he cries.
He goes home the next afternoon.
"Don't worry Sora honey," Tai comforted her, as he squeezed her hand. "Everything will work out just fine. You listen to the doctors, and I'll be right outside waiting for you."
"What?..." she panted barely able to speak. Her contractions were increasingly close together, and she was vaguely aware of anything else in the room besides Tai. Him, and of course the little life inside her causing the intense pain shooting through her body. "You mean your not staying with me?!"
"Well, I know that's what we planned on, but I'm not quite sure I can stomach this like I thought I could... The reality of what's happening is kind of settling in all of a sudden, and I..." Tai couldn't finish his sentence, for Sora grabbed the neck of his gown and squeezed it tightly until Tai's face turned red.
"YOUR NOT GOING ANYWHERE TAICHI! YOU'RE THE ONE THAT PUT THIS THING INSIDE ME, AND YOUR STICKING THIS THROUGH WITH ME UNTIL THE END! GOT ME?!"
"Okay okay! Please let go I can't breath!"
Before you know it he's off to school, and then he graduates in May.
Goes out and gets a PHD, and then cures all sorts of things.
"He's beautiful." Tai gazed in amazement at the little miracle cradled up in his arms. He hadn't been able to take his eyes off of him except for occasionally to glance over at his wife lying in the bed next to him. His chair was set up next to her bed low enough to allow him to be as close to eye level with her as he possibly could. Wore out from childbirth it was all she could do to barely keep her eyes open, and smile. "So how do you feel Mama?"
"Like I just gave birth!" Sora coughed. "So, how does it feel to be a daddy?"
"Strange... I feel happier than I ever have in my entire life, and at the same time absolutely scared to death. This little guy sure has thrown my mind for a loop..."
"Get use to it," Sora laughed weakly. "I have a feeling he's going to be putting us through a lot of that over the next few years. Enjoy the way your seeing him now because it's not going to last for long. Before we know what hit us he'll be going to school, dating, driving, getting married, and we'll be grandparents all before we have time to catch our breath."
"Yeah." Tai's eyes widened with clarity. "We'll be like a hundred!"
"No we won't! We'll be in our early forties!" Sora gazed at her husband lovingly. She loved the way he was holding their son so protectively, like he was a natural who'd been doing it for years instead for merely the first time. "You look like a man, but your still just like a big kid aren't you? That's one of the things I always loved about you."
"Maybe I guess... Don't you grow up to fast on me now okay little buddy," Tai teased, as he scratched his sleeping angel under his chin.
Sora smiled, and extended her arms. "Now give me my baby!"
"Are you sure you can handle him?" he asked worriedly.
"Tai, I just survived 20+ hours of labor, so I think I can handle holding my own son!"
"Just making sure," Tai said, as he carefully set him in Sora's arms. "You're a hell of a woman Sora. I don't even want to imagine going through what you did. I have more respect for you now then I ever did, if that's at all possible. You sure went through a lot to bring this little guy into the world."
Sora held him close to her chest. "He was worth every second of it. I can tell he's going to be his father's son already. Not more than eight hours old and he's already as stubborn as you are. The nerve of you refusing to come out like that! You had your little mind made up, so the doctor's had to go in and get you. I'll have a big scar on my tummy for the rest of my life because of it. I forgive you though."
"He is amazing isn't he?" Tai beamed. "To think he never would've been here if you hadn't said yes when I asked you to marry me. Thank you for giving me the two greatest gifts I could ever have."
Tai put his hand to Sora's cheek, and kissed her softly on the lips. The baby immediately burst into tears, causing the young couple to break apart laughing.
"Live with it honey," Sora giggled. "If we didn't you wouldn't be here right now."
Wins a Nobel Prize, and saves a million different lives.
The worlds a better place for all he's done.
It's funny when you think about the reason he's alive.
Is all because two people fell in love.
"Oh that's sweet," Sora awed, as she propped her son up against her chest. Tai was preoccupied with watching his sister dance with TK.
"Why don't you and Tai go out and dance?" Cody suggested. "I'll keep an eye on the baby for you."
"Why thank you Cody, but I think there's something..."
"Don't worry about it," Cody interrupted. "I can handle him for a few minutes. If anything goes wrong I have one of the best doctors in the country sitting next to me."
"I'm still in med-school Cody," Joe reminded him.
"But..."
"Don't worry about it Sora. Take him up on his offer, and let's go," Tai insisted. "We won't be long."
"Okay," she said, as she gingerly handed the baby to Cody. "Thank you Cody."
"No problem."
Tai took Sora's hand, and led her towards the dance floor. "Shouldn't we have told him?" Sora asked.
"He'll figure it out," Tai laughed.
"I wonder what she was so worried about? I guess she doesn't trust me much with you does she little guy?" Cody cringed as he got a whiff of something foul smelling that he really wished he hadn't. "Good lord! What reeks?!"
"I have a feeling your little friend is carrying a few extra ounces around with him if you know what I mean." Joe said, slightly turning his head to the side.
Cody sniffed the baby's rear end, and sure enough... "Gross! What do I do with it?!"
"Don't look at me! You're the one who volunteered to watch him not me!"
Matt had gotten so caught up in his own thoughts he almost forgot to start the next verse. He felt a large sense of pride at seeing his brother and Kari so happy, and in what they were doing. Kari had been very insistent that the wedding be held on this date, despite very short notice, but there was a very special reason behind it. As Matt had mentioned Kari's grandparents were celebrating sixty wonderful years together on the same day, and that's exactly how she pictured her and TK down the road if they were lucky enough to turn that corner. Matt was reminded of his own parent's messy divorce, and how so many other young couples are lucky if they make it to their fourth or fifth year let alone six decades. That's a long, long time to put up with one person. They were indeed a testament to what love and loyalty should really be, and they were more than happy to, and even honored that the two youngsters had chosen to share their day.
Right now at a picnic shelter down by Caney Creek.
You'll find potato salad, hotdogs, and baked beans.
The whole Wilson family's lined up filling their paper plates.
They've drove or flown in here from fifteen different states.
TK stared deep into the eyes of his new bride of over an hour or so not daring to take them off of hers, the fear still picking at his mind slightly that he might wake up from this wonderful dream he was living. Kari had her arms noosed around his neck, and they really did look like they were molding together rather than dancing. "I know how important it was for you to have our wedding on your Grandparents anniversary, but you know people are going to say we rushed into this just like my brother and Mimi did. I've already heard some fools whisper we won't make it through the first year."
"You'll only hear that from the people who don't know us all that well," Kari giggled. "Our closet friends, and family know better. Like it matters anyway. Granny and Papa Yagami were barely eighteen when they got married, and just about everyone told them they wouldn't last six months. All those people are either dead now, or feeling really stupid since my grandparents have lasted about 120x longer than anyone thought they would. Besides, I wasn't about to wait another fourteen months to marry you. I waited over two years for you to even ask me!"
TK blushed. "Well, believe it or not I was afraid you wouldn't say yes. Don't hit me again! I know better now! Ha, ha!... I guess your right about that though. We have been together over twelve years already."
"We've only been dating for six TK," she reminded him. "You kept me waiting a long time before you finally asked me out for the first time too. I almost gave up on you."
"I didn't say when we started dating," TK corrected her. "I was talking about how long we've been together. We've been friends since we were eight. It might not have been made official through half of it, but I've loved you all this time."
Now Kari was blushing. "Do you think we can make it sixty years like Grammy, and Papa Yagami?"
TK gave her a mock hurt look. "Is that all you want me for?"
"Oh you! You know what I mean?!" Kari giggled, as she rested her head against his chest.
Stanley Wilson says that sixty years ago he knew.
That Miss Emma Tucker was the one.
Five generations get together every June.
All because two people fell in love.
There ain't nothing not affected.
When two hearts get connected.
All that is, will be, or ever was.
Patamon and Gatomon watched from the top of the arches set up in the park for the wedding. Everyone knew they were there, but they decided they would rather watch from a distance rather than be gawked at by some of the people present who weren't accustomed to the sight of Digimon. Of course they were use to it by now, but they didn't want to attract any attention away from their partners big day. Patamon already had his moment in the sun after becoming the first Digimon ring bearer in recorded history. Gatomon refused to have anything to do with the wedding, and instead preferred to watch and taunt Patamon for the little custom made tuxedo TK had made for him.
"So, let me see if I've got this straight," Patamon said still trying to sort things out. "They've already put on the rings, said the "I do" thing, and kissed for about ten minutes. So is the wedding still going on, or if it's over then what's going on now?"
"No, the wedding is over I think... This is what they call the reception I guess... Or maybe it's part of the wedding? I don't know, I can't keep up with all these weird human customs."
"Yeah, but look at how happy they look," Patamon smiled, as he watched Kari and TK dancing close together below their perch. "That's all I care about."
"Yeah... So this is what humans do when they fall in love huh?" Gatomon figured. "I guess it fits. I don't see how a ring and a piece of paper are supposed to say you love someone, but I guess it's the symbolic part of it that really matters to them."
"So what do they do after this?" Patamon asked.
"I'm not sure... I think I heard Kari say right after the wedding reception the two newlyweds go on a honeymoon..."
"Honeymoon? I heard that too, and I was wondering what that was?"
"No clue," Gatomon replied. "Anytime I'd asked Kari what it was she'd just blush, and change the subject."
"Yeah, TK too... Except he'd usually get this dreamy look on his face, and start giggling a bit afterward."
"Strange..." Gatomon peeked at Patamon through the corner of her eye, and couldn't keep herself from giggling.
"Don't start that again!" Patamon huffed.
"I'm sorry, but you look so funny wearing that thing!" she laughed referring to Patamon's tux.
"I didn't want to! TK made me wear it!"
"Oh, don't get your bowtie all in knots! I think you look cute in it."
Patamon blushed. "Cute?"
Every single choice we make.
Every breath we get to take.
Is all because two people fell in love.
"Something wrong Izzy?" Yolie asked noticing Izzy was concentrating rather diligently at the table they were sitting at. "This is a happy occasion. You almost seemed bummed."
"No, I'm fine Yolie. I'm simply trying to analyze something."
"Analyze what?! It's a wedding Izzy! One we've seen coming for years! What in the world do you possibly have to analyze!"
"The words in the song... I can't really relate to them. I was adopted after all." Izzy thought it over for a moment, and smiled. "But then again I guess it fits the moment. Now that I think about it I guess that if my parents hadn't of fallen in love, and gotten married they never would've adopted me."
"That's exactly the way you should look at it Izzy!" Yolie cheered. "You have to remember that even Mr. Ishida, and Miss Takashi were in love at one time. Things might not of worked out, but they were together long enough for Matt and TK to come along. I know it doesn't apply to everybody, but it's the theme of it all you have to look it. Besides, I think it fits them perfectly don't you?"
Izzy stared at TK and Kari as they danced, oblivious to anything around them except each other. Izzy had to admit he had noticed a feel to the day that couldn't help but warm his heart. If fact, when he thought about it only one word came to mind. "Prodigious..."
"I have to hand it to you Davis," Ken complemented him. "You've made it through the entire wedding without making a scene."
"Why would I have made a scene?!" Davis laughed. "I grew out of that a long time ago Ken. I just watched two of my best friends get married, and I'm happy for them! I wouldn't have done anything to ruin this for them."
"I wasn't trying to insinuate you would," Ken explained. "I know you got over her a long time ago, but I also know it still had to be a little difficult for you to watch them say I do."
"No, actually it wasn't. I'll admit I was a little afraid it would hurt a little to know I'd lost her for good... Not that I ever had her, or even had a chance to begin with! Ha! It's surprising, but I feel really good. They may just be the happiest people in the world right now, and I just couldn't help but be happy for them."
Ken looked confused, but still smirked slightly. "Well that's nice to hear, but what were those tears in your eyes I saw then?"
"There were no tears in my eyes!" Davis frowned. "I was just... well it was just... *sniff*... It was so beautiful!" Davis sobbed, as he lowered his head and sobbed into the tablecloth.
Ken patted Davis on the back. "What do you know? The future noodle king's nothing but a big softie."
I recall a young man who was drifting aimlessly.
And a young waitress who seemed lonesome as could be.
Matt searched through the crowd again, and picked out Mimi who smiled warmly at him . She was now sitting by her lonesome with her eyes glued to the young crooner. It hadn't been much more than a year and a half ago when a two week trip to the US changed his life forever. He arrived in New York with the rest of his band mates two days earlier, and he had hated every second he'd been stuck there to this point. Truthfully, the music business had been growing stale on him, but he didn't want to let down his fellow band members by just getting up and walking out. Of course he had no clue at the time his band would tare itself apart within the week, and little did he know he'd find out the best thing he'd ever find in his life had walked into it years before, and he didn't even know it. In serious need of an escape he braved the New York subway, and somehow found himself wandering around suburban New Jersey. He was sulking along when he came across a small cafe on a street corner mark 14th Ave. He wasn't even that hungry, but something kept pulling at him until it drug him inside. What was inside the cafe was his own destiny ready to smile upon him, or at least that was the way he looked at it.
"Can I take your order sir?" The waitress asked him.
"I don't know... Maybe I'll just start with a soda or something," Matt sighed without looking up from his menu. He thought the voice sounded vaguely familiar, but the broken English threw him.
"Matt?..."
Matt looked up, and his jaw dropped along with his menu at the sight of the stunning creature standing in front of him. "Mimi?! What in the world are you doing here?!"
"I work here silly!" Mimi giggled, pointing at her pink and white uniform. "I should be asking you that question. You still live in Odabia don't you?"
"Well... Uh... Yeah," Matt stuttered. "I mean I'm on vacation! I needed sometime to myself, and somehow I wound up here. It's great to see you again... I thought you lived in New York though?"
"My parents got tired of living in the city," Mimi explained. "They wanted to move somewhere quiet, so we moved out here a few months ago. I kind of like it though. There isn't as much smog, and not nearly as much noise!"
"That explains why I couldn't find you in any of the directories! I wasn't expecting to see you at all on this trip, and here I find you by complete accident."
Matt sat up from his booth, and gave Mimi a friendly hug. They embraced slightly longer than either one of them deemed appropriate, so they both pulled away blushing.
"It's good to see you too Matt... I'm sorry to be rude, but I have to get back to work. I get off in about half an hour, so if your willing to wait a while we can talk some more then..."
"Love too," Matt smiled.
In a little cafe right off of Fourteenth Avenue.
With a whole lotta help from up above.
It wasn't long before Matt started to think it may not have been an accident he was pulled into that cafe that afternoon. In fact, the vacation he feared would never end turned out ending way to soon for his liking. Both of them had felt a connection form between them right away, and it wasn't much longer before they realized that something that had been bubbling up for years was finally coming to the surface. Matt made several more trips back and forth to the states over the next few months, cost not a concern to him whatsoever, and eventually decided their relationship had grown into something he couldn't live without.
"Mimi... I've made a decision. I can't go on like this any longer... Flying back and forth over an entire ocean month after month. I love you Mimi, but it just hurts too much to be away from you all the time..."
Tears started to well in Mimi's eyes. "But Matt... What are you saying?"
"I'm saying one of two things are going to happen..." Matt's somber expression morphed into a smile. "One, either your coming back to Odabia with me if I have to knock you out, and carry you on the plane with me. Two, if you really don't want to do that then I guess I'll just have to stay here with you. If that happens you better call your parents, and warn them that they're going to have a new houseguest for a little while."
"Matt?! What do you mean by?..."
Matt sized her by her shoulders. "I want you to marry me Mimi. That is if you'll have me of course."
Mimi's face lit up bright enough to match New York's skyline. "Of course I'll marry you, you idiot!" Mimi lassoed her arms around his neck, practically squeezing sawdust out of his ears. "Let's not worry about formalities, and just go ahead and do it! We can have a little reception or something for our friends and family later to make it up to them! Let's just..."
"Don't even go there Mimi," Matt shook his head. "I wouldn't do that to you. If we're going to do this we're going to do this right. Everyone will probably think we're crazy for jumping into this so quickly, but I'm not worried about it."
"I love you Matt," she whispered, as she moved in fast.
"I love you too," he cooed, as he put his lips to hers, two lonely hearts finally finding something in their lives that was fulfilling.
We met, and things sure turned around for me and you.
And all because two people fell in love.
Baby, there ain't nothing not affected.
When two hearts get connected.
All that is, will be, or ever was.
Matt looked down on the dance floor, and was surprised at what he saw. Normally the newlyweds would start the first dance and then the bridal party would follow them out after a while, but TK and Kari still stood alone on the dance floor completely enthralled with each other. Everyone else was standing back watching the young lovers dance. Some of them couldn't even be classified as staring, but more accurately gawking a few with their mouths hanging open. Almost like they'd never seen two people in love before... But then again maybe they hadn't quite to this extent before. Matt peered at them closer, and his eyes confirmed something that he had thought he was imagining earlier.
"They're doing that glowing thing again," Davis said to no one in particular.
"How do they do that?!" Yolie wondered.
"No clue. Logic tells us it should be physically impossible," Izzy replied, though Yolie wasn't really looking for an answer.
Only the other Digidestined could see it, but there definitely was a faint light glowing around them. It wasn't the same yellow and pink colors respectively as before, but a combination of the two illuminating around them. It was no where near the prettiest color your eyes would ever behold, but that was beside the point. The ordinary guests present couldn't see them glowing, but they could tell something was different about them none the less. No one dared to defile their moment with their presence.
Sora stared at them in absolute awe. She got to thinking about everything that was going on around her, and the real picture that was almost finished developing. Not only were TK and Kari brought together by the bonds of matrimony, but everyone else was tied together by the occasion in a way too. In the last few hours both her and Tai had been reunited with old friends they hadn't seen in ages. People like Mr. Ishida and Mrs. Takashi could learn to set aside their differences for a few hours, and actually appear to be getting along with each other for the first time in ages. There was even an old relative present at the wedding Tai had had a history of bad blood with, and hadn't spoken with in years. As if some magic spell was cast over them that morning, instead of exchanging foul words or blows like it usually came to when they got together, they greeted one another with a hug and started conversing like nothing bad had ever happened between them. All these people pulled together. All of this happening for one reason, because two young people decided they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. Love definitely was a beautiful thing. Sora had to wipe a tear from her eye just thinking about it.
"They look so in love...," Sora sighed dreamily. "Do you think we looked that way when we got married Tai?"
"I think we still do," Tai smiled.
"No Cody! You're putting the diaper on the wrong way!" Joe informed him.
"What's the difference?"
"I'm not going to explain that to you now! Just trust me. Turn it around, and put it on the right way!"
"Okay, okay!" Cody did as Joe instructed. As he slid the right end under the baby's bottom he felt something warm, and wet trickling down the collar of his tux and on down. The baby even had the nerve to giggle, as Cody realized the little scamp still had his front end locked and fully loaded. Joe, who had remained silent to this point, laughed so hard he nearly fell out of his seat. Cody sneered at Joe , and then smirked at the baby. "No harm done. Your lucky your father lent me this tuxedo you little crap factory."
I'm glad your dad could not resist.
Your mama's charms, and you exist.
All because two people fell in love.
"I'll have to remember to thank your mom and dad," he whispered to her.
"For what?"
"For having such a beautiful daughter."
Kari smiled, and lifted her head up to look into his bright blue eyes. "You know this may just be the happiest day of my life."
"Any day I get to spend with you is equally happy for me."
"But this is different!" Kari snickered. "This is our first day together as man and wife."
TK's smile widened. "I know, and that's wonderful. Titles, and names are all fine, but as long as I'm with you in the end nothing else matters to me. I don't care how I just want to be with you. You make me complete Kari, and I can never thank you enough for that."
"I do love you..." Kari kissed him on the lips passionately, and everything else in the world disappeared.
Matt smiled at his brother and Kari. He pointed his finger out across the crowd signaling out everyone in the congregation, and finally pointed back down at the two lovebirds still caught in a lip lock.
You know, to me it's all so clear.
Everyone one of us is here.
All because two people fell in love.

"So that's why you like that song so much?" the boy's girlfriend asked. "That's so sweet..."
"Yeah. It makes me think of parents every time I hear it, and they say it makes them think of me. It's kind of becoming a family tradition I guess. I really want it to be played at our wedding too. My cousin's already agreed to perform it for us. Uncle Matt, and Aunt Mimi will be so proud of her."
"Speaking of our wedding, when are we going to tell our parents we're engaged?" she asked. "We've been putting it off long enough don't you think?"
The boy sweat dropped. "Yeah... We'll tell them... As soon as I'm sure they won't kill us, or each other when they find out!"
"Oh they're just playing around when they act like that! Our father's get along just fine. The Takashi's and Montoymia's aren't exactly the Hatfield's and McCoy's."
"I guess your right. We'll tell them first thing tomorrow. How about that?"
"That's just fine with me." She sighed happily, as she scooted up close to him. "There is one thing I don't think they'll be too thrilled with, but I'm pretty sure they can live with it."
"What's that?" he asked.
"Well I know our parents are barely in their forties but...." She grabbed his hand, and placed it on her stomach. "You don't think our fathers will mind being called grandpa in about eight months do you?"
"Wh... Wh... at?"
A baby's born in the middle of the night.
In the local delivery room.
They grab his feet, smack him 'til he cries.
He goes home the next afternoon.
-Well what did you think? Long four minutes wasn't it? I'm thinking about toying with a few more of these, so do you think I should or shouldn't? I know this wasn't all that good, but I felt the song really fits for them. I know it doesn't apply for everybody, but for most of us it does relate in a way. I hope you enjoyed! 'Til next time!
Disclaimer: Oh I almost forgot! I don't own the song posted above either. That was performed, and written by the very talented Mr. Brad Paisley along with Kelley Lovelace for Arista Records. I simply borrowed it for use in this fic, so there's no need to sick anyone's laywers on me.
