Chapter 5- Spin The Bottle- A La French… Or not
At this, Kari and TK both sighed audibly. Yolei looked around for Ken, then, remembering he wasn't there, at down on a log and looked daggers at Matt. Davis looked at Kari and started dreaming about kissing her. Cody looked at Sora, who looked askance at Matt, and then around the fire again, finally with Cody breaking the silence.
"Um, what's a French kiss?"
Kari looked at Matt. "Why don't we have TK and Kari demonstrate?" Matt suggested, rather innocently. Kari narrowed her eyes and then turned to Cody.
"Cody, why don't you go to bed? After all, it is way past your bedtime. Just slip over to your sleeping bag and try to ignore us." She suggested brightly.
Matt started to protest. "Kari, he's old enough."
Kari shot a look at him that, if looks could kill, would easily have killed Matt, twice. "Really, Matt. He's eight." She said in a calm voice.
Matt looked at Kari, then at Cody, then back at Kari. "You know, Kari, I was just trying to educate him a little. You're far too chaste."
Kari sniffed at that. "I like him just the way he is right now. There's such a thing as knowing too much too soon."
Matt mumbled under his breath. "What did you say, Matt?" Kari said distrustfully.
"I said, there's also a thing that is called knowing too little too late." Matt said, louder.
Kari looked at him and spoke again, her tone indicating 'End of Discussion'. "Well, what are your rules?"
Matt was suddenly Matt again. "Well, the game is played like any usual game of Spin the Bottle, only when you kiss, you have to french." He grinned.
Kari looked at him. "In that case, we aren't playing. Come on everyone, bed."
"Hey, I'm the eldest, we should be listening to me!" Matt protested. "And besides, I think most of us want to play." That was said with a sly glance at Davis.
Kari looked at him, and then a smile started playing around the corners of her mouth. "Oh, look what I found in my pocket!" She cried with the air of a faintly surprised person. "It seems to be a poem, written by Yamato Ishida at age 14… Oh, I see… Very interesting… It seems to be addressed to a girl… Oh, my… Hmm… I'm sure the Digidestined'll all love it if I broadcast this on DigiPalmPilots… Especially this particular girl…" She continued. "Oh, her name is…" Here she purposely paused for Matt's reaction. There was none, so she continued. "Oh, her name is Mimi… I believe it's a sonnet…" That got a reaction. A big reaction.
Matt suddenly jumped up and made a snatch for the small piece of paper, snarling "where'd you get that"s and "That's mine"s. Kari, on the other hand, stayed calm and simply held the paper out of his reach, and then pressed the 'Intercom' and 'All' button on her D-terminal, ready to broadcast Matt's personal feelings to the entire world. Matt finally knelt at Kari's feet and begged. "Please, no, don't do it, Kari! You can do whatever you like, we won't make you french, just don't read that!" Kari grinned down at Matt.
"Sure." She said. "But you better keep your promise, or else." Matt nodded, and then scowled at everyone else, because they were laughing at the sight of him groveling at Kari's feet. TK was having a hard time keeping his laughter in, and he finally lost it when Kari tickled his stomach. He burst into near-hysterical laughter and fell to the ground, Kari still beside him and tickling him. Soon, all the of Digidestined were tickling him, and they were all laughing as much as their victim at this form of torture. When they finally stopped, they were in some odd positions. Yolei was sitting on Hawkmon and Armadillomon, Cody was squished by Matt (who had rudely woken him) and calling for his Digimon, Matt was holding Gabumon, Sora had landed a good distance from the group and Biyomon had fallen nearby and Davis was underneath Veemon. But the most 'interesting' position was the one TK and Kari were in. Kari, while tickling TK, had been next to him. When everyone else joined, they were all squishing each other, and in the end, Matt had accidentally (on purpose) pushed her so that she was on top of their victim.
Davis took one look at TK and Kari and shoved Veemon off of him. "Get away from Kari, TJ!" He threatened.
TK groaned. "I can't Davis. Just in case you haven't noticed, Kari's the one that's on top of me."
Kari jumped up and dashed into the girls' tent all of a sudden and returned with a book. "Look what I found!" She cried triumphantly. "Book For The Camper!" Everyone looked at her with a 'so?' look. "And inside it is all the rules of every game in camping history. Including Spin the Bottle. And it says you can take skeletons."
Matt looked daggers at Kari's pocket and said, under his breath, "Let's not play after all. I see you have a trump card."
Kari grinned. This had been her plan all along. "All right!" Davis started to cry, but then lightened up.
"Kari, can I spin, just once?"
Kari looked at him and shrugged. "Everyone'll have one spin each, period."
Davis went first, and spun Yolei. They looked distastefully at each other, and then looked towards Kari. After making it clear that you didn't have to kiss if you really didn't want to, they continued. Matt spun Biyomon, and naturally they didn't take the spin. Sora spun Davis, and skipped. Then TK spun Patamon, and Kari suddenly fell into hysterics for no particular reason. TK looked strangely at her, and she leaned over to whisper something in his ear (She had been surfing the 'Net and found a picture from a TK fan that the site owner had drawn of the fan kissing TK). Then Kari spun. A deathly silence fell over the group. Davis was praying that it would land on him, and TK was trying to convince himself that he didn't care if it did.
Past Davis, past Matt, past TK… Davis… Matt… TK… Davis… Matt… TK… Davis… Matt… 'Oh God, I spun TK1' thought Kari nervously. 'Should I…'
TK was having similar thoughts, only he was, if it possible, more nervous.
An uneasy mood hung heavily on the camp. Even the Digimon could feel it, and Veemon, Gatomon, and Patamon all tensed, knowing they would have to fight if any of the humans got violent.
Kari suddenly took TK's hand and led him over to a spot where they were concealed by a rock. 'This is going to be the most daring thing I've ever done in my life…' she thought. 'I'm sure he's going to hate me for this.' Taking a deep breath, she leaned forward.
TK was bursting inside. 'Is she?… Oh God, she is! Does she really…' Without realizing it, he was leaning towards her too. She was so beautiful like that, unsure like he had never seen her before. He blinked once. 'I do love her…' He closed his eyes…
