More to Life
Chapter 2
Being a Good Friend
It's been exactly since the incident, Kari did return to school afterwards. But she hasn't been herself much. Kari would just wonder aimlessly from class to class and listen to the teacher drone on and on.
Izumi and Takuya tried to cheer Kari up but it wouldn't work. Not even Davis's silly antics have any effect.
Then one day, Kari's friends hatched a plan.
Davis was walking to Ken's house to visit and Demiveemon was in his backpack chowing down on the candy.
Davis was on his blue flip cell phone, talking to Takuya.
Davis began whining. "Come on Takuya! Please! Please! If you do this, I'll hook you up with Izumi!"
Then he realized what he had said and only thought one thing: 'Uh-oh!'
Then he immediately held the phone away from his ear to keep himself from going deaf.
Demiveemon looked on amused at Takuya's yelling.
"I DON'T LIKE HER! DAVIS, GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK HEAD!!"
Davis laughed. "Thick-headed? I'm not the only one."
Takuya sighed over the phone. "Fine. But you owe me big time."
Davis smiled. "Thanks, buddy! Now get everyone to meet in the Digital World near the Primary Village on Saturday."
Takuya then began another rampage. "Are YOU OUT OF YOUR FREAKING MIND?!? Do you know what day it is today? Thursday! Which means everyone could have plans by now!"
Davis snickered. "You don't have to worry about them. Especially with Rika and Izumi on your side."
Takuya laughed. "Alright. I gotta go now. My phone bill's probably soaring but I'll do it for you."
Davis thanked him again and then hung up.
Demiveemon grinned his adorable grin and asked. "What now, Davish?"
"Well, first, we have to ask Ken to help, then we got to go buy the food, get a spot to set the picnic, and last, convince Kari to go to the Digital World." Davis replied, listing all the things to do.
Demiveemon fainted in response. "There's too many things to do." He whined.
Davis laughed and picked up the little dragon and walked towards the Ichijouji residence.
*** (Takuya's house)
Takuya had been making phone calls all morning to all the Digidestineds and Tamers because Davis really did mean EVERYONE.
So far everyone didn't have plans and could go except Ryo, Matt, T.K. and Junpei.
Ryo had other things to do since he was the Legendary Tamer, Matt and his band were going on tour and T.K. was traveling with them, and last, Junpei was staying home for a tv marathon.
Takuya decided to walk to Rika's house and then to Izumi's.
***
While the girls were talking amonst them and Takuya was walking with them.
He remembered what had happened when he called Rika that very afternoon.
(flashback)
Takuya walked up to the front gate and knocked.
Rumiko Nonaka answered the door and greeted him. "Good Afternoon, may I help you?"
Takuya bowed respectively and answered. "I'm Takuya Kanbara, Ms. Nonaka. I'm a friend of Rika's. Is she home?"
Rumiko smiled. "Please wait here while I go get her."
Takuya nodded and followed the model into the home.
A few minutes later, Rika came running downstairs in her normal attire.
"Hey Gogglehead #3! What's up?" Rika greeted him.
Takuya grinned. "Hardy Har Har. Anyways, I guess I will need you as back-up."
Rika smirked. "Well I guess I will have some fun today (cracks knuckles)." Rika had received an earlier call from Gogglehead #2 so she knew what he meant.
Takuya smiled. "We have to get Izumi, then go to Ryo's, Matt's, T.K.'s, and Junpei's houses."
Rika nodded and responded. "Okay. I'll get Gogglehead to come with me to go to Mr.Perfect's house and Matt's. We'll meet at the park."
Takuya laughed. He knew who 'Gogglehead' was. It was Takato because he was the only one Rika called 'Gogglehead' that didn't have a number and for the fact that he was her boyfriend.
Takuya shook his head. "We have to stay together so that we know where to go afterwards besides it's better to watch those four deal with two angry girls than one."
Rika smirked. "Fine. Gogglehead #3!"
***
All four finally reached Ryo's house and Rika, who was very impatient, wasted no time in pounding the door.
She yelled. "Get out here, Mr. PERFECT!!"
Takato smiled and shook his head at his girlfriend's antics. "Calm down, Rika. We don't want to get in trouble with his parents."
Rika, however, half ignored her boyfriend's comment. In a lower voice, she said angrily. "You better get out here, Akiyama or do I have to drag you here myself!"
Ryo opened the door, panting and smiling. "Well hello, Goggleheads and Goggleheads' girlfriends. What can I do for you today?"
Rika simply pushed him aside and went in. Everyone else followed and sat down on the couch.
Izumi smiled kindly. "Why can't YOU come to the picnic?"
Ryo replied. "Because I have some important things to do."
Izumi was now very angry because her best friend was important. Rika was angry too but had seen the firey gaze in her friend, and decided to sit this one out.
Izumi marched up to the brown-haired boy and grabbed his throat. "YOU WILL GO to the picnic or else you won't need to worry about doing ANYTHING.
Ryo gulped and quickly replied. "Yes, m'am.
The guys laughed, but quickly followed the girls out.
They were clearly pissed and were not to be messed with.
*** (Saturday)
Davis and Ken finally got all the food ready with the help of Takato and Mimi.
Some of the guys helped carried the food to the blanket and laid them apart.
Izumi and the girls helped set the plates and eating utensils.
Rika and Renamon watched the younger digimon and the little kids.
Meanwhile, Sora and Tai were taking a break and sitting under a tree, talking.
Sora sighed. "I hope this works, Tai."
Tai smiled. "Don't worry about Kari. Davis planned this whole thing for her and she should come seeing as how he spent a whole year's worth of allowance for her."
"Yeah. He really does like her, doesn't he?" Sora asked.
Tai shook his head. "I don't think it's 'like.' I think it's more like 'love.'"
Sora nodded in understanding.
Then the pair walked off to join their digimon.
Finally, Rika shouted to Davis.
"Hey Gogglehead #2!! Everyone's here and accounted for. Go and get Ms. PERFECT here already!!" Rika shouted. "And no, Ryo!! You CANNOT have Ms. Perfect just because you're Mr. Perfect!! She's taken!"
Ryo whined that Kari wasn't taken so finally, Rika had had enough. She gave him some bruises and a black eye while everyone else chuckled.
"Whoo!! Look at the Digimon King and Queen go!" A creamy-colored digimon said from atop a certain Gogglehead. He had climbed on Takato's head because Henry was watching Susie and didn't want any 'Pwetty Princess Treatment.'
That comment earned Terriermon a punch off the brunette's head.
Takato shouted and then dusted himself after he had done the hit. "Shut up, Terriermon!"
Then he went to join Rika and Renamon while Guilmon was stuffing himself with bread.
Davis who had watched the whole scene, shook his head in amazement as how the bunny could make the funniest comments at the wrong time.
Davis went back into a nearby tv and walked to Kari's house which wasn't very far.
***
Davis arrived at the Kamiyas' apartment. He knocked the door and saw the Mrs. Kamiya had answered.
"Hello, Davis! I take it you're here to see Kari?"
Davis smiled. "Yes m'am. So can I?"
The woman nodded sadly. "Maybe you can cheer her up today. I haven't had any luck all week."
Davis nodded and walked inside to Kari's room.
He opened the door silently and saw that Kari was sitting with her arms around her knees, staring out the window.
"Kari?" The redhead asked.
Kari turned to look at Davis, but said nothing. Even he couldn't help her.
Davis calmly walked to her and sat on the bed.
"Are you alright?"
No response.
"Come on, Kari. You have to get out of her someday. I'd be bored out of my mind staying here all day."
Kari shook her head and asked just one question. "Where's Gatomon?"
"She's in the Digital World with Veemon and everyone else. We're having a picnic for you. We all care about you, Kari. We-no… I want you to see that not all things are bad. Please, Kari, I don't want to see you this way. Davis pleaded with puppy dog eyes.
Kari couldn't help put giggle a bit. She thought he looked cute like that.
Davis smiled. "Come on. Nothing will happen to you. Gatomon will make sure of it, if not, there's me, Tai, Izumi, and everyone else there. If you go, I promise that I'll give you a treat?"
Kari thought about it. 'Maybe I should go. Everyone is there and I really do miss Tai.'
Kari slowly nodded and smiled. "Alright, Davis. Just give me a sec to get dressed."
Davis nodded and walked out of the room to wait.
*** (Meanwhile at the Picnic)
"COME ON people! WE don't have all day!! Davis and Kari will be here any minute!!" Izumi yelled.
Takato and Kazu were drawing all the digimon on a big banner while Yolei and Jeri were painting the words, 'We love you, Kari!'.
Everyone else was either watching the little kids and the digimon or setting the food down on the table or like Takuya and Izumi, yelling at everyone to make sure everything was perfect for their arrival.
Some sat down to take a break and Ken was getting a camera ready so that they could take pictures of this reunion.
Takuya yelled. "EVERYONE get in their places RIGHT NOW!"
There were 2 long tables with a floral patterned cloth that Mimi had picked sitting on the soft, green grass.
The first Digidestineds sat on one side of the first table in this order: Tai, Sora, Matt, Mimi, Izzy, and Joe.
On the other side of the first table were the Frontier children: Takuya, Izumi, Tomoki, Kouichi, Kouji, and Junpei.
And on the last table, on one side were the second Digidestineds: Two empty seats for Davis and Kari, Yolei, Ken, T.K., and Cody.
On the other side were the Tamers: Takato, Rika, Henry, Ryo, Kazu, and Kenta.
Everyone sat there patiently as they waited for Davis and Kari to come through the Digi port.
All the digimon sat on a blanket and were already stuffing themselves with food.
***
Davis sat in the living room, waiting for Kari.
Then finally she came out in her summer clothes, a light pink tank top with little pink diamonds on it, magenta shorts, and a yellow scarf.
Davis blushed when he saw her and shook his head to shake himself out of the trance. "You look great, Kari!"
Kari smiled. "Thanks, Davis."
Kari then gestured to him to follow her into her bedroom because that was where the computer was. (A/N: Did you think I was gonna actually write a lemon scene?)
Davis yelled. "Digi port open!"
*Digi Port sequence*
They popped out of a tv and began walking.
Davis led her to a clearing and then walked past it and waited for her.
Kari followed him and gasped in shock.
Everyone stood up from their chairs and smiled. "SURPRISE!!"
Kari looked up and saw a huge banner that said, "WE LOVE YOU, KARI!!"
Kari started crying with joy and walked to Davis who had offered his hand.
Davis smiled. "Let's go, Kari!"
Kari nodded. And then they walked towards the rather large group.
Tai stood up and walked to his little sister. "Good to see you, Kari!" Then he hugged her.
Kari hugged him back tightly. Then they let go and went to sit down and eat.
While everyone was talking to well… everyone else, Kari whispered to Davis.
"I need to talk to you, privately."
Davis nodded and followed her.
They walked behind a tree.
Meanwhile, someone had noticed them leave.
Takuya grinned. "I hope Kari tells him that she likes him."
Izumi smiled. "Yeah and I hope the same for Davis."
Suddenly both of them realized what just happened and turned to each other. "YOU KNEW?? (in unison)"
They both laughed.
***
Davis sat down against the tree with his hands behind his head. "So what did you want to tell me?"
Kari replied. "How could you tell them what happened? I told Izumi that I didn't want everyone to have to come here and leave school just to see me!"
"Izumi told me and Takuya because we had been wondering what was wrong with you. Then even though she told me that you didn't want a big gathering just because of the incident. But I said that it would be best if maybe Sora or Tai or Yolei to help you because we and them all care for you and we don't want to see you locked up in your room all day." Davis finished with a breath.
Kari smiled happily. "Well... then thanks Davis for not listening to me!"
Then she got up and kissed him on the cheek.
Davis blushed bright red and Kari who was pleased to see the blush, smiled and left.
Davis touched his cheek and yelled. "YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
