(A/N~ Hey, back for another dose of humour? Here it is. Oh, and for all you Kenyako fans… read " A Valentine Kiss" by Mystical Dreamer.  It's really fluffy, if you like stuff like that.  I read it and I thought it was great, so I had to mention it here. Oh, and thanks for all the people who reviewed my fic.  I'm glad some people agree with me that there aren't enough Kenyako fics out there.  I feel so happy..^^…anyway, to, uh, answer your question, Davis is not paired up with Kari in this fic, 'cause I've got plans for him…you know what? Before any of you Daikari fans out there make up your mind, why don't you read this chapter, first.  You'll see what I mean.)

--Davis' apartment—

"Dude, you do not say stuff like that directly to girls unless you're really slick or something!"  Davis said, exasperated.

Ken looked puzzled.  "Well, why not?"

"Argh! You just don't.  Okay.  You know what?  I think you need a few lessons on lingo, or you're gonna slip up again, and that's not gonna be pretty.  That isn't good."

"Right now?"

"Why not? No time like the present.  'Side's, you need all the help you can get."

The boys sat down on the rug next to the table in the living room of Davis' residence. 

"Ahem."  Davis started.  "Now.  Lesson number one.  Charm.  Girls love charm.  Ya know, you've already got it."

Ken looked puzzled.  "I do?"

"Sure!" Davis exclaimed.  "Politeness, kindness, always helping others, and, y'know, just overall, charming to be around."  He grinned.  "Now, on to lingo…."

--Who-Knows-How-Many-Hours-Later—

"Okay.  Lesson number 31.  Don't lie unless you really have to.  Lying is a huge no-no.  And don't show off.  That's not good.  Be honest, unless a girl asks you something like "Do I look fat?"  Never say yes to that.  You could get slapped in the face."

"Okay."  Said Ken, an avid learner.  "Oh, and Davis?"  He asked. 

"Yeah, dude?"

"Er…How do you know all this stuff?  I mean, are you actually sure it works?  I mean, it…uh, didn't on Kari."

Davis reddened slightly.  "Okay, Ken.  Ya caught me."  He admitted.  "This is stuff I learned just recently, after I got over my crush with Kari."  He shrugged.  "But trust me.  It works- honest!  That's how I hooked up with Miyo in the first place."

Ken smiled, bemused.  "Your girlfriend?  Hmm…"  He stroked his chin and asked, "Hey, you never told me how you and Miyo actually first met."

Davis grinned.  "I didn't?  Really…Hm…well, okay, then.  I guess I'll tell you now.  I was just…walking along, sad because I got rejected by Kari…uh, again."  He hung his head down in embarrassment, then continued with the story.  "So…up comes this girl, asking me if I was alright, 'cause I looked so down and all.  At that point, I wasn't in the mood to show off or anything, so I just acted like myself.  I told her my problems while we walked.  Y'know, the whole 'comfort of strangers' bit.  After awhile, I felt much better.  I realized I was doing fine without the ego.  So, I asked her to join me for a bubble tea.  (A/N~ bubble, bubble, bubble tea! ^^:..uh, sorry.  I couldn't help putting that in..)  He blushed.  "And so, the rest, they say, is history."

Ken smiled.  "Miyo sure makes you happy.  In fact, I've never seen you happier since you met her four months ago."

Davis blushed harder.  "Yep, I guess she does make me happy.  She's the kindest person I've met.  She made me realize how stupid I was acting before.  I know now that girls like guys to act like themselves."  He pulled a face.  "Well, at least most self-respecting smart girls, not groupies like my sister Jun."

The two best friends shared a laugh.  Then Davis stood up.

"Well, my friend, I've taught you all you need to know.  So come on, let's play some video games."

"Where are Wormon and Veemon?"  Asked Ken suddenly.

"We're out here!"  Shouted Veemon from the balcony.

"Yes, Ken. Don't worry about us.  Veemon's teaching me some moves for the party."  He proceeded to shuffle around on his behind in weird patterns, saying "a one, and a two…"

Ken burst out laughing again.

Who-Know-How-Many-Hours-Later (Er, again)..

"Ah..!"  Davis stood up and stretched.  "Perfecto game score…once again!  Playing with you is a blast, Ken, 'cause we always win!"

Ken shook his head sheepishly.  "I kind of cheated, because I…uh…helped design it."  Davis nearly fell out of his chair after that pronouncement.

"Nani!!  Designed it?.." He stared at Ken for a while, and then shook his head, grinning.  "You're not kidding, are you?"  He asked, as his friend shook his head no.  Davis just laughed.  "Designer of one of the most best-selling video games in Japan, sitting here with me.  You know what?  Now that I think about it, it shouldn't have surprised me.  Heh.." 

Ken scratched his head, totally embarrassed.  "Uh, well."

Davis put up his hands.  "Hey, don't be sheepish.  It's cool."  He looked at the clock.  "Hmm…12:45."

"Davis, I think we'd better go to sleep.  I have that lesson teach tomorrow…"

"Okay, right, dude."

The two pals pulled out their sleeping stuff and Davis tossed Ken a toothbrush.  "Here.  Don't want to scare the pigeons with you breath, right?"

"Thanks."  Ken brushed his teeth in the washroom and then changed into one of Davis' pj's.  "Uh, Davis?"  He asked.

"Yeah?"

"I don't want sound snobby, but…" he pointed to the pyjamas he had on.  "Could I borrow something else to sleep in?  Um, I'm not comfortable wearing a man in red underwear all over me."

Davis gave a huge guffaw.  "Heh, not a Superman fan, ne?  No sweat."  He rummaged through his dresser and threw Ken another shirt.  "Here."

"Ara?"  Ken looked at the piece of fabric in his hands in surprise.  "Is this what I think it is?"

Davis chuckled.  "Yep.  The soccer jersey I wore the day your team faced off with my team."  He grimaced.  "You totally whooped my butt!  Oh, well…" he said good naturedly. 

"That was years ago…that day I met the digidestined team…and…" Ken stopped, and a sad look appeared in his eyes.  "I revealed myself as the Digimon Emperor…" (A/N~ Digimon Kaiser, to me, reminds me too much of lunch, so I like to stick to the U.S. Emperor bit.).  He shook his head. "I was so stupid!"

Davis put a comforting hand on the black-haired boy's shoulder.  He gave a thumbs-up and grinned.  "Hey, dude, quit mentally punching yourself.  It's all in the past.  See?"  He punched his pal playfully on the shoulder.  "You're my friend, and part of the team, too.  One of us.  All the hard feelings were gone years ago."

Ken put his head in his hands.  "BAKA! BAKA! BAK--"

"Hey…dude, dude!  Snap outta it!"  Davis shook Ken, hard.  "You're okay now!  Who cares about the past!  It's gone!"

"It's…only the past…" Ken murmured.

"Right!  Now you're getting it!"  Davis exclaimed.

"But…I was so…so…heartless to everything and everyone in my way.  How could you and your friends forgive me, and trust me, after all I did to you?  How…"

Now Davis got really pissed.  He hated to see Ken put himself down like this.  "OKAY!  KEN!  I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS WIMPERING!  EITHER YOU SNAP OUTTA IT, OR I'M KICKING YOU FROM THERE TO TIMBUKTU!"  He paused.  "AND EVEN THOUGH I DON'T HAVE ANY CLUE WHERE THAT IS, YOU'RE STILL DEAD IF YOU DON'T STOP PITYING YOURSELF RIGHT NOW!!"  He roared, shaking the wits out of his best friend.

"But I …I was so cruel…"

"WHO THE HELL CARES!?!  IT'S GONE!  ZIP!  DITTO!  PAST!  DO YOU THINK I CARE?!  WHY WOULD I CARE ABOUT SOMETHING SO LONG AGO?!  IT'S OVER!  STOP MOPING ABOUT IT!  WE ALL DO THINGS WE REGRET, KEN!  THE POINT IS THAT YOU CHANGED!  YOU FIXED YOUR WRONGS!  THAT'S WHAT COUNTS!  DO YOU THINK THE TEAM WOULD HANG WITH YOU IF THEY DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE A GOOD FRIEND?!? HUH??  HUH?? HUH?!?!!!"  Davis was so mad, he was hysterical.  Ken had to calm him down. 

"Okay, okay, Davis.  Take it easy.  You're right.  I was a mope.  I'll stop.  Just…calm down.  Re-lax."

"Gaahhh…." Said Davis. "Ah…..oh boy, Ken."  He scratched his head sheepishly.  "Sorry for the outburst, but I was so angry!  You weren't listening to me at all!"

Ken sighed.  "You're right.  I'm sorry.  I'll never think about stuff like that again.  Yakusoku.  It sucks thinking about it."  Davis looked up in shock.  "Nani? What did I say?"

Davis gave a lopsided grin.  "A-Hah!  You said 'suck!  Slang!  I taught you well!"

"I…did?"  Ken thought it over.  "Hai, I suppose I did, didn't I?"  He shrugged, beaming.

Davis yawned.  "Muhauah…. look at it this way.  If I didn't trust you, would I be talking to you now, and asking you to plan the party of the year with me?"

"I…guess not.  You do have a point.  I'm still a bit worried about this 'party', though.  Let's face it.  I'm a bit of a dork…I mean, look at me!  I haven't been to many parties, and I'm 16!

"Hey, don't worry, pal.  You'll know lots of people there.  The Digidestined are there.  And as for people you don't know…well…hey, you're well rounded."

"Rounded?"  The black-haired boy looked confused.  He looked at his arms and legs.  "Uh…well, not really.  I'm kind of skinny."

"Dude, not rounded like that!  Rounded as in brains and brawn!  Fit in both mental and physical health!  Not many guys have both, ya know.  Chicks love it."

"Ah…er, girls?"  Ken looked uncertain.

Davis suddenly looked evil.  "Heh…yes, and Yolei's definitely a girl…"

All of a sudden, Ken's cheeks burned, making him considerably less paler.  Davis saw he had said the magic word.

"Hey, what's wrong, Ken?"  Davis teased.  "Feeling a little…strange?"

"Well…"

"Nani?  Should I say Yolei again?"  Ken got a smidge redder.  Davis laughed.  "Someone's not feeling like himself at the moment…heh."

"Well…now that you mention it, I feel kind of floaty…I've never experienced this before.  What is it?"  Ken asked an amused Davis.

"Hehe…this is rich!"  The 'goggle boy' chuckled.  "The smartest guy in Japan can't figure it out!  Well, Ken, that is for me to know and you to find out.  I guarantee you you'll know soon."  By the end of Sunday, in fact.  He thought deviously.  If I have anything to do with it… 

Ken looked puzzled.  "Oh, okay."  He shrugged and walked into the washroom, to see Wormon.  "Hey, it's late.  Why aren't you asleep yet?  Having problems?"

"Veemon woke me up again."  Wormon grumbled.  "He snores like a freight train hitting a cow."  Ken stifled a laugh.

"Why don't you sleep in the living room, since Veemon's in the hallway?  Plenty of pillows.  Plus, you've got the couch."

Wormon brightened.  "Good idea, Ken.  See you tomorrow."

"See you."  Ken responded.  Wormon walked out.

Ken put on the old jersey.  Then he walked back into Davis's room and got into his sleeping bag.

"Davis?"

"Hrph?"  Came a sleepy answer.

"Goodnight."

"Hm.."

"Oh, and Davis?" 

No response.  Ken tried again.  "Davis?"

Silence.  Then Ken heard a loud rumbling.  He shook his head, smiling. 

"Ah…Veemon and Davis are both huge snorers."  He yawned and turned off the lamp.  Hm…I wonder what Davis meant about Yolei…strange. he thought to himself.  With that, he fell asleep, with the clock blinking 2:30 am.
