Chapter 7: Epilogue
"Of course you can come see the movie. It's at seven o'clock tomorrow
night."
"What? Your brother wants to come? Okay, but we don't have that much
money."
"I love you too, bye."
Kari whispered the last part as she hung up the phone, taking into
account the fact that both her parents were in the room. It didn't
stop Tai and Merla from overhearing. Merla giggled a little. Tristan
was still busy getting used to the real world. In other words, he was
completely absorbed in Tai and Kari's father's computer. Mostly
checking out web sites, and seeing what had been happening around the
world while he was gone.
"Good call for a first date, Kari." Merla said, still finding fun in
endlessly teasing Kari about her relationship with T.K. Tai was still
getting over the fact that Kari had a boyfriend at her age. Their
parents weren't overly concerned. Kari growled under her breath. "How
did you get so good at Smash Brothers?" Tai asked, still attempting to
beat Merla at the Nintendo 64 game. Merla laughed. "When I was evil I
was extremely bored. Except when I was taking over a town or
something. Unlocked all four secret characters and thrashed three
level nine computers." She boasted.
"Hey, Izzy's online!" Tristan called. "Izzy is always online, that's
the thing you have to learn about him." Tai replied. Then, "Hey,
that's mine!" As Merla's character grabbed a beam sword in the game.
Kari sighed as she watched her brother and her older opposite play.
"I better go see what Tristan's up to. He's probably talking to Izzy."
She said.

The next day...
"So what are we going to see Kari?" T.K asked, smiling happily at the
girl next to him. Taichi, Yamato, Merla, Tristan, Takeru and Hikari
were all walking towards the movie theatre. Everyone was excited
except for perhaps Merla, who was off in her own secret world,
contemplating the universe. "Vi'm espposing ve are seeing ze Pokemon
de' Movie 3." Kari said in her best French accent. "But if zis is not
on, ve vill be vatching da movie de' Star Vars Episode 2." She added,
not losing the tone in her voice.
Takeru adjusted his hat slightly, causing his hair to fall in front of
his face. It was a long time since the digidestined had done something
like this. Normal kid stuff, T.K thought. He couldn't really become
depressed at a happy time like this. Then again, when Kari was walking
next to him he never found himself depressed.
After a while the children found themselves at the entrance to the
movie theatre. The entrance guard eyed them suspiciously, but relaxed
when he spotted the sixteen year old Merla. "You got tickets?" He
asked gruffly. They handed over their pieces of paper and proceeded
into the cinema.
They walked up the stairs, stopping to buy popcorn and ice-cream.
"One blueberry cake and one malted vanilla ice-cream please." T.K
asked, instantly remembering Kari's favourite from the last time they
had seen a movie together. "You didn't have to pay for me you know."
Kari protested as T.K handed her an ice-cream. "I suppose I just
did it instinctively. Besides, I had to use my pocket money for something."
They ended up walking in to the Star Wars movie. The adds had almost
finished. They found their long row of seats and sat down, in the
order of Tai, Kari, T.K, Matt, Merla, Tristan. All the children whipped
out their popcorn and ice-cream as the movie began. T.K and Kari found
themselves clasping hands and watching each other more than the
screen.
To most of the digidestined, who had seen far more horrors and evils
than most people had in a lifetime, the film seemed rather dull. By
the end Kari had fallen asleep, comfortably resting her head on T.K's
shoulder.
At the end of the movie, everyone walked out with a yawn. The sky was
starting to darken. "I think it's about time we headed home." T.K said,
a tone of regret in his voice. Everybody agreed. They started walking
off. "See you on the first day of school Kari." T.K said, waving as he
and Matt left the group.
Kari put her hands in her pockets and felt a piece of paper. What's a
piece of paper doing in my pocket? She thought. Kari pulled it out and
read it. "Free invite to the Destined Children's first national concert
staring Matt Ishida and special guest Takeru Takaishi..." Kari read
aloud. Kari had no idea how T.K could have got that in her pocket
without her noticing.
"Thanks T.K!" She shouted after him. T.K turned around and beamed at
Kari before running to catch up with his older brother. Tristan looked
confused and his eyes went distant.
"The integrity of internal physics and psychiatric treatment
undermines the integral structure of mathematics and social politics
in distant and foreign affairs of people who counterpoint such methods
by hiring proffesional and widely trained psychologists and
archaeologists. The terran public should therefore be wary for highly
detailed and examined protocols with primary thrust reverses. This
also seems to be counterpointed by highly intelligent proffesionals
who leave brain damage and structural economic flaws up to the variety
of politicians who manage it." Tristan said breathlessly.
Everybody looked at him strangely. "I think you ate too much popcorn."
Tai managed to say. Kari nodded. "However integral physics itself is
on the contrary undermined by counterpointed surrealism mathematics
scientists. Politicians and military leaders are appointed their
structural status because of pointed and organised retaliation
campaigns set by ex-presidents of education industries,
counterpointing many people's views and ideas of social economic
production. Therefore-" Tristan stopped suddenly. "You think he got
psychologically disrupted?" Kari asked, noticing how unnaturally weird
the situation seemed. Merla laughed.
"Riiight. Does he have any idea what he's talking about?" Tai asked,
raising his eyebrow. Tristan's eyes had their normal look returned to
them. "Sorry, I was off chasing rainbows and flying cups. Did I miss
anything?" He asked. Everybody almost managed to prevent themselves
from cracking up. "I think we better get going home." Kari said,
giggling.
"What's so funny?"
The end....
BUT WAIT!
Aren't we missing something?
Where's T.K in all of this?
And more importantly, how come I didn't end in a Takari?
But I did!
*Takari fans look around with puzzled faces*
Okay, maybe I didn't, so I'll just end it again!
(Hopefully a little worse... I mean better! I mean...)
I'm confusing myself.

"That was amazing T.K!" "Great job!" "Marvellous singing!" All the
digidestined congratulated as T.K walked down from the stage after his
single. "Matt's little brother is almost as good as him!" June mused
from her seat at the very back of the hall. "Gee, I wonder who that
song was directed too..." Merla teased Kari. The other girl found
herself too stunned to answer. She had only heard T.K sing once
before, and that was amazing, plus that time it wasn't directed to
her.
Everybody got up and started to leave the concert after a deafening
applause. T.K walked up to Kari smiling. "What did you think?" He
asked. Kari was still stunned. "A... Ummm.." Kari said. She suddenly
kissed T.K, causing everybody to look amazed and surprised... or
surprised and amazed, whichever you want. The room glowed half white
and half pink as their crests went off. It was T.K's turn to look
stunned. "I'm assuming that means you liked it." He said before
falling unconscious.
"That.. felt... really... really... incredible." Kari admitted after a
moment of silence.
"T.K? T.K?! I hope you're okay because I think Matt just decided to call
an ambulance."
NOW! IT'S THE END!
