Here you go. Another chapter for your funny bone (or brain, or whatever).
Ahh….. and……

Alright, alright. I was just showing off (Civics, argh.) That's it, really; I can't really think of anything witty to say at this exact moment, so on with it.

Now, when we left off, Ken had just gotten off the phone with his kaa-san. So, without further ado, the story.
Ken, on the other line, hung up. Why was she asking about Yolei, only? he thought to himself. Oh well. He walked back to an eager Davis and Wormon.
"So? Your mother said yeas, am I right?" Davis asked.
Ken nodded.
Then he twiddled his thumbs.
"Um, Davis?"
"Yeah, dude?"
"Um…partying not my expertise, um… I know I can help with the preparations, but I'm not really sure about the actual party….I don't know how to act. And, er…I'm not really good at impressions…" Ken looked up when he heard Davis laughing. "What are you laughing at?" he asked.
"YOU!" The other boy grinned. "Come on, Ken! Think about what you're saying, here!"
"Uh, what?"
"Well, for starters," Davis said, "You happen to be the smartest 16 year old in Japan. Of course, you ARE a black belt in Judo (A/N~ I don't remember what Ken's martial art is, so I'm making it Judo) "Not to mention being a soccer star…second only to me, of course.." he added jokenly. "Which makes you totally fit!" Davis grinned. "Naturally, you have huge sex appeal wit the ladies."
Ken looked puzzled. "What do you mean, Davis? What are you talking about?"
"HELLLOOOOO!" Davis rapped Ken's head with his knuckles. "Are you home??" Ken just stared back blankly. Davis tried to explain again. "What I mean is, you're a total chick magnet!"
"…….." Den just stood there, still clueless, and now, bewildered, because he still did not know what his friend was talking about.
Davis groaned and slapped his own forehead.
"Duuuuuuuude! I can see that you're really out of the loop. Oh, boy. I guess I'll have to go over that stuff and update with you this afternoon, so's that you can be ready for the party. Come on."
So they started walking.
Davis' apartment was very close to Yolei's parents' grocer. In fact, it was directly on the way. She was out sweeping the front walk when she saw the two boys.
"Hey! Davis! Ken! Ossu?"
"Hi, Yolei." Ken answered in his usual, polite way, although with a bit of colour in his cheeks for some reason. Davis, however, was more jubilant.
"WAAASSUUUUPP!" He exclaimed. Then he saw the broomstick. "What, chores?"
Yolei sighed. "You'd think my parents would be nice and give me some time to relax. The school year just ended today and I've got to clean the shop. Oh, well--" she sighed. "Atleast I get weekends off." She smirked at Davis. "Well, atleast I'm doing something useful. As usual, Davis, you're out wasting time.
"Hey!" The boy said, irritated. "I've got a social life! Something YOU would know NOTHING about!"
"You have to be kidding me! I've got triple the amount of friends that you have!" The girl sneered.
"Nyah-uh! I've got more!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do no--"
"Guys, GUYS!" Ken stuck his hands out to keep the two teenagers from clobbering each other.
"Let. Me. AT 'IM!!!" Yolei yelled.
"KEN!! Stop STOPPING ME PAL!" Davis struggled, but Ken didn't do Judo all his life for nothing. His arms were extremely strong, and he kept the two at arm's length until they got tired.
"I—whew." Said Davis, waiting for his strength to come back. "You know, I didn't want to fight you, anyway, Yolei," he panted, embarrassed.
"Uh…yeah. I just joking, too." Yolei said sheepishly.
It was at this point that Wormon decided to pop out again.
"Oh, hello, Yolei." He nodded to the pink-haired girl, in a knowing fashion typical of him.
"Hi, Wormon." Wormon looked at the position the two were in, and he guessed imedieatly.
"Fighting with Yolei again, I suppose, Davis?" Davis nodded, his goggles sliding down his face. He pushed them up again.
"Yep. You know us too well, buddy."
Wormon chuckled. "Yes, I guess I do. So, if I say that it was Ken who headed off the fight, would I be right?"
Both Davis and Yolei sheepishly nodded.
"Uh… hai, he did…. Again." Davis said, scratching his head.
"Er….thanks, Ken." Yolei said. "You know, sometimes I think me and 'gogglehead' over there--" she gave a meaningful look towards the spiky brown-haird boy that looked remarkably like Tai—"would have killed each other by now if it wasn't for you."
"Yeah." Said Davis. "We still fight occasionally, but, we're not proud of it anymore."
"No problem." Ken responded.
"So, I say, Ken is a peacekeeper, then, isn't he?" Hawkmon came out from inside the shop.
"Hi, Hawkmon", said Ken absently.
Wormon crawled down from Ken's pack, down to the ground. "Hai, I suppose you could say that." He looked up and noticed the rest of them staring at his digidestined partner, who was, by the looks of it, 'off in space'. "Oh, don't worry about Ken", he reassured everyone. "He's just thinking. He'll come down to earth sooner or later." Wormon chuckled. "So, Yolei, did you hear about Davis' party?"
"Party?"
Davis grinned (A/N- he's doing an awful lot of it lately, huh?) "Oh yeah!" he said. "Wait…when you said you had weekends off, do you get long weekends off, too?"
"Sure."
"Awsome! Okay, here's my plan…" For the next few minutes, Davis filled Yolei in with what was going on, while Hawkmon chatted with Wormon, and Ken just standing there, thinking. After a while, Davis and Ken had to leave.
"….Okay, Davis. What time will the party start?" Asked Yolei.
"Around 8:30, I'm planning."
"Perfect. I'll definetly be there. Oh, and about the sleep over… what time will that start?"
"I really don't know, Yolei. I guess around the time everyone else leaves. Just be sure to bring a sleeping bag and pajamas or something, 'cause I'm not really interested in seeing you raw," he joked.
Yolei smirked. "You wish, Davis. Anyway, see you on Sunday!"
"Bye!" He called out, whiled Wormon said,
"Till that day!" Ken still hadn't responded, so Davis whacked him in the ribs. That definetly threw Ken out of his trance.
"Ah! …Oh, sayonara, Yolei." He said, always well-mannered.
"Bye Ken…. Wait! I just remembered something! Ken, remember you promised me that Judo lesson?"
"I do?" he tried to think back. "Oh, hai. I know now. You asked me last month."
"Yep." Yolei answered simply.
"So….I take it you want the lesson soon?"
"Yep. Can you teach me tomorrow? Let's say, noon, at my house?"
Ken looked at Davis, who shrugged. "Hey, dude, no problemo with me. You'll only be gone for a few hours, ne? And all I'm planning to do tomorrow is call everyone up to invite 'em. You can help me when you get back."
Ken nodded at Yolei. "Okay. I'll be there at 11:45."
She smiled. "Great! See you tomorrow, then!"
"Oh, and Yolei?" Ken asked absentmindedly.
"Nani?"
"Well…." Ken clearly was thinking hard about something.
"Okay, Ken. Spit it out. What is it?"
"Well…do you think I'm a chick-magnet?" He asked.
"Ara?!" Yolei was shocked. She thought that some statement like…like that would be the last thing that would come out of Ken's mouth! And here I was thinking he wanted something from the store. The girl's face burned. Oh, great. I'm blushing. Just great.
Davis slapped his forehead, clamped his hand over Ken's mouth, yelled, "Okay, bye, Yolei!!" and dragged Ken off. He ran so fast, a huge pile of dust billowed out behind them.
