Author's Note:I'm so SORRY that this part is so short, sooooo ...This part may be a little confusing, but don't worry, Heeeeeerrrrrre's DAVIS!!! By the third chapter, a lot of this should make a tiny bit more sense. Enojy *grumbles* Ejoy *grumbles again* ENJOY! (for God's sake...)
Disclaimer: You know the routine... I don't own anyone... uh, that didn't come out right. I don't own digimon. *curses* Someday, when I'm a happy, rich, retired person, I'll buy Digimon and... (okay, by then, TVs could be extinct, but I can dream, right?).
It's Chapter 2!

Kari bit her lip as she waited in her car. It was raining like crazy now, and TK's plane was supposed to have come in an hour before. She hoped he was still there at the airport, waiting to be picked up. Just when Kari began to give up, having circled the 'Arrivals' twice, she caught sight of a blonde head.
"Yes!" Kari's relief didn't last long. The blonde head held short hair, and TK's was long. Plus, TK didn't have a goatee. Kari parked her car on the side and banged her head on the steering wheel, "I... am...so...stupid!!!"
TappTappTappity Tap. Kari looked up. It was the blonde stranger.
She unrolled the window cautiously, "What can I do for you?"
"Are you gonna take me home, or am I gonna hafta walk?"
"Tk?" Kari squinted at him, "TK???? What did you do??? Your hair!... I mean... it looks... uh... nice." She finished lamely.
"Does that mean you like it," TK asked, "Or that you hate it?"
"I love it!" Kari reached toward him, as if she wanted to run her fingers through his hair, but thought better of it, "Oh... Do you want out of the rain?"
TK laughed. "Sure, but I'm so wet, I wouldn't even know if it was still raining," He teased.
"Sorry." Kari looked embarrassed as she helped him shift his bags to the back seat and started home. She kept her gaze to the dark streets, and her breathing was in time with the soft whoosh of the windshield wipers.
She allowed herself a glance at her friend, and her heart beat a little faster than it should have. She turned her head again, and began studying the fine lines of TK's handsome face. 'He isn't too bad looking.' She thought. 'Maybe...'
FLASH! The street lights all came on at once, and Kari was temporarily blinded. The car swerved right and bounced off the curb.
"Whoa!" TK blinked a few times, "Kari? Are you all right?"
Kari open and shut her eyes. "Yeah, I think I'm okay."She remained silent until she pulled into her brother's driveway. "I'm sorry, TK." She looked at him and continued, "After moving in with Tai and his wife, then the accident... and Tai being so weird....I...I guess I haven't been myself." She bent her head down, "Not to mention all the people that keep bugging Sora. Even me and Tai have had a steady stream of strange visitors. Poor Sora has every kind of weirdo at her door...
Matt always did have fans."
TK wiped the tear that had run down Kari's face, "I know. He always loved attention. That's why he started singing in high school. He just got lucky going to Mars."
Kari giggled. "Now," TK smiled, "That's my Kari. What would the new kindergarteners say next week when you go back to school?" He put on a high voice, "Oh, you know that crazy ol' bat Ms. Kamiya..."
Kari whacked him, opened her car door, then said slyly, "How about you? With facial hair like that, I could bring you in for show&tell."
"You're goin' down!" TK jumped out of the tiny vehicle and chased Kari around the yard.
Up in the window, Tai watched. "You watch yourself Takeru, or you'll be going down."He muttered.
***************************
Knock knock knock "Uhn..." Kari rolled over and groaned, "Go away Tai, I'm sleeping."
"Awww!" A voice came floating in, "Is that how you greet an old flame?"
"Oh, no." Kari covered her head with a blanket, "You're early."
"Hey!" Davis put his hands on his hips. "I'm insulted."
"Good for you." Came the muffled reply.
"Just for that," Davis walked up to the lump of sheets that was Kari, "I'm not letting you up."
"Oh! Oh no! NO!" Kari yelled. "Don't sit on!... ^Thump^...me." She mumbled.
"Ha!" Davis folded his arms in triumph, "Now, whose your favorite?"
"Not you."
"Then YOU don't want to see the light of day beyond the fabric of your prison."
"Very dramatic," Kari said said sarcastically, "I appreciate the use of your entire vocabulary on my behalf. Now GET OFF!"
Davis pretended to pout, "Fine. But you better be nice to me today. I let you live."
"Oh, Thank YOU!" Kari bowed so low her long hair reached the ground, "Almighty King Davis!"
"King Davis?" TK walked in, "Ewwwww!"
The fake smug look on Davis's face was replaced by a frown at his game being ruined. "Oh, look. Here's my jester. What joy."
"Breakfast, guys!" Tai called, coming upstairs. "The kids have already eaten, so crawl out of bed, sleeping not-so beauties!" He pause in Kari's door, "Am I interupting?"
"I hope not." She mumbled. "What time do we have to be at Sora and ... I mean... Sora's?"
Tai looked at his watch, "Five minutes ago."
"Aaiieee!!!" Kari ran for her closet and pulled out a pair of yellow pants as she shooed the boys out.
Davis looked at Tai, "How much time do we really have?"
"An hour." He grinned, "Just don't tell her that."
a/n: Okay, I'm glad this is up. When I first put this up, I messed up the chapters and made everyone sound WAAAAY to cheerful to have had their friends just die. (heheh) I finally got this up in one piece, so I hope you like it.
