Kari was tired out. "The park....is much farther...then I...remember." she huffed and puffed over to a bench. She sat down, catching her breath.

A few minutes later, TK arrived. Seeing Kari all red-faced, he suddenly was concerned. "What happened?" he asked, putting his arm around her shoulder and sitting down.

Kari smiled and shook her head "Nothing...just outta breath..."

TK sat stunned for a moment, then cracked up. Kari laughed with him. "Just like old times." Kari thought.

"So, what was so important you needed to get me to come across town for?" TK asked, after a few more minutes of laughing.

Kari leaned in and whispered "I think something's wrong in the digital world."

"What makes you say that?" TK whispered back, trying to contain his laughter.

Kari noticed this and frowned "Cuz Mimi came up to our door and wanted to talk to Tai."

TK noticed the frown and got serious "So? Mimi wanted to talk to Tai. They do have more things in common than the digital world."

"Which reminds me, I have juicy gossip about a certain brother of mine and a certain girl who lives in America." Kari grinned.

TK was interested now. "What is it?"

Kari looked around to see that no one was around. When she was sure, she leaned in and said "They kissed 4 years ago when Myotismon came looking for me."

TK widen his eyes "Are you serious?"

Kari nodded, grinning. But then she got serious "Back to the digital world problem. I know because Mimi mentioned Palamon."

TK shook his head "No way. They would have told us."

"That's the thing. I heard Mimi say we're 'too young.' And Tai agreed!" Kari exclaimed.

TK tried to calm her down, which was hard cuz he was as mad as her. "Shh, calm down. Don't worry. We are digidestined and we will go, even if they don't know."

Kari smiled and hugged him "Thanks. You really are a good friend."

TK was surprised at this display of affection, but decided just to flow with it. He hugged her back and closed his eyes. Smelling her hair, he remembered the dream he had last night.

It was 4 years ago and Kari had just been found. They were fighting the Dark Masters, when Kari fell into a hole! TK tried to run to her, but his feet were glued to the ground. He screamed at his friends and big brother to help her, but they didn't seem to listen. All he could do was watch Kari fall to her death.

"TK, are you OK?" Kari asked, concerned.

TK noticed he had started crying and a tear had hit Kari's shoulder. He pulled back, grinning. "It's nothing. Just had something in my eye."

Kari didn't look convinced, but shrugged. "Whatever. But we have to find them." TK remembered Matt saying something about Great Mall. "I wonder." he murmured.

"Wonder what?"

"Matt said something about the Great Mall. Maybe they're there." TK brightened up.

Kari remembered last night "Hey, not to be nosy, but what happened with you and Matt?"

TK got a far-off look in his eyes "Well, after you left, he let me in. We sat and talked. Matt cooked something that wasn't very edible, but I felt bad for him. He looked so happy. So I gulped it down." TK shivered at the thought of Matt's food. Kari giggled at his face.

"After that, Matt's dad came home and it was kind of awkward after that." TK finished.

Kari nodded. Realizing that was all, she was confused "Still doesn't explain how you overheard Matt."

"Oh ya. Since it was late, I just stayed over." TK added.

"It all makes sense now." Kari smiled.

TK shook his head at his strange friend. Getting up, he asked "Are we going to get going?"

Kari jumped up and nodded "On to the Great Mall." They walked off toward the mall.

I'm starting to develop their relationship. And of course TK and Kari will end up together. I always thought that and always will. Pleaz RR
