"Kari! Kari!"
Kari ignored TK's cries and slumped down on her kness, sobbing lightly.
"Kari! There you are!" TK gasped coming through the bushes and slowing down. "Umm...you okay?"
Kari turned around to her friend. "All he wanted was a friend TK...and now, because of it, he's gone!"
TK sweatdropped. "Kari...I thought he was going to hurt you! It didn't occur to me he was....playing....when I last saw Puppetmon, he was pure evil! I would have never assumed he was good! See my point?"
Kari wiped her tears away and stood up and faced TK. "But TK...you killed him!"
TK bit his bottom lip and put his hands in his pockets. "That was an accident..I didn't mean to..."
"But TK! It never occured to you he had refromed! Don't you believe in second chances?" Kari asked.
TK held up hands. "Of course I do! But this was Puppetmon..."
Kari looked away. "And that was a side I never saw to you before..."
"What?"
Kari looked at him. "The way you charged off...so determined to kill him because he was made from darkness!"
TK sighed and looked at the ground. "I don't think I ever really explained to you before..."
"Explain what?"
TK sighed again and sat on a nearby rock. "How I feel about darkness...really...it was before you joined the Digidestined, well on File Island, we were fighting Devimon and Angemon-"
"Yeah...Tai told me. Angemon sacrificed himself to save you...but he was reconfigred, right?"
TK nodded. "Right...but it was life Angemon DIED saving me...back then, we didn't understand about reconfiguration and so it seemed like Angemon was killed saving my life..." He then looked up. "And so, I swore I'd prevent that from happening to anyone I care about...and when I saw Puppetmon-"
"You thought he was going to hurt me." Kari finished.
"Yeah..." TK stood up. "Look Kari, I am SO sorry for jumping to conclusions, and well I'm not sure I can forgive myself...could you maybe, hopefully forgive me?"
Kari walked foward and hugged TK. "Your one of my best friends TK, I could never stay mad at you forever!"
TK smiled. "Still friends?"
Kari smiled back. "Always!"
"Aww...cut it out TS! You'll ruin my chances!"
The two broke from thier hug and saw Davis and the others standing there.
"You okay now Kari?" Gatomon asked.
Kari nodded. "I'm fine."
Patomon flew over and landed on TK's shoulder. "I sorta feel responsible TK...do you forgive me?"
TK smiled. "It's alright Patomon...it was a fatal accident...and I'm sure Puppetmon would forgive you if he could."
"I think we all forgive TK and Patomon..." Ken said, turning to the others. "Right guys?"
The others all mummered in agreement.

One week later....
TK walked towards the tree where Puppetmon had died, clutching a boquet of flowers and a huge mallet, which, unlike Puppetmon, had somehow, had not been reconfigured.
TK looked at the mini cross put there by Kari, with the words : 'Dedicated to the memory of our friend, Puppetmon. RIP'. On the tree behind it, was a mini-mural with drawings of the Digidestined and their Digimon playing with Puppetmon, with a sunny sky, and drawn quite well by Patomon.
TK layed the flowers by Ken's and Yolei's boquet, and laid the mallet against the cross. He paused for a moment...and then spoke.
"I'm sorry Puppetmon, I don't know if Virus Digimon get reconfigured or not, and I hope, wherever you are, you can forgive me. Thank you for making me belive in second chances, even for the most evil of Digimon...perhaps I understand you guys a bit better now..."
TK finished, and then turned around and walked off.
