"Kari, lay off of the pastries." TK grunted, supporting all of Kari's weight.

"Hey!" Kari hit him. "I'm sorry. We can go back."

"We've walked for 10 minutes and you want to turn back?!" TK groaned.

Kari grinned "Guess that's a no."

TK nodded. Kari laughed and kept limping along. "Where could they be?" she asked.

"I don't know, but I do know I need a rest." TK complained.

"Sure." Kari smiled. TK let out a little yelp of happiness and laid her down.

"I'm hungry. Do you want anything?" TK asked.

Kari nodded. "Sure, but be careful."

"I will." TK ran off down to the river.

Kari grinned at his retreating back and sighed. "OK, I'll admit it to myself. I totally like TK." she thought, blushing, even though no one was there. She gazed at her digivice and crest. "Gatomon, where are you?" Then she gazed at her cell phone and teared up "Tai, I miss you so much. I wish you could be here with me."

Unknowingly, Tai answered her in the real world "Oh, Kari. I miss you, too." He thought, looking out his window.

Sighing, he looked around his room. "It's quiet. Too quiet." he thought, close to tears. Laying down on his bed, he relived the last couple of hours.

Flashback

"So the plan is we go to the digital world tomorrow, right?" Mimi said, after Davis finally left, after waiting for 2 hours.

"Thought Davis would never leave though." Sora laughed.

"Hey, he obviously likes my sister." Tai punched her lightly.

Mimi grinned, but looked downcast. "Yeah, but she totally likes TK." she sighed.

Izzy noticed this. "What's wrong, Mimi?"

This caused everyone to look at her. Mimi smiled and shook her head "Nothing, just tired.

He didn't believe her, but let go. "OK, if you're sure..."

"Yeah, I am. Don't worry, ." Mimi assured him.

"OK, back on the topic. So everyone meets at Tai's house at 10, OK?" Matt asked.

Everyone nodded and got up. "See you guys tomorrow." Tai waved to his friends.

End Flashback

"Sure, but I still can't wait. I hope she's OK." He fell asleep soon after.

The next morning, Tai was shaken awake by Sora. "Hey, Tai. Wake up."

Tai opened his eyes and was shocked to find everyone in his room! "What's up?" he asked, still half-asleep.

Izzy laughed. "Well, it's 10 o'clock..." he started.

Tai gasped and got up quickly. Then noticing he was still in his boxes, blushed. Sora and Mimi held their laughter in.

"We'll wait outside." Mimi let out a little laugh. The two girls walked out and shut the door. Through it, you could hear them laughing.

Joe smirked. "Smooth, man. Very smooth."

"Shut up." Tai glared and ran to his closet to get dressed. A few minutes, he came out in jeans and a T-shirt.

"Can we come in?" Sora called through the door.

"Sure." Joe called back.

The two girls walked in and Sora asked "So, are we all ready?"

"Yes, we are." Tai and Matt said in unison.

"OK, Mimi do you thing." Sora told her.

Tai was confused. "What?"

Sora laughed. "Sorry, forgot you were asleep. Mimi figured out to get to the digital world."

Tai brightened up. "Really?" he asked.

Mimi grinned and nodded. "Really." She walked up to the computer and held out her digivice. "Digital Gate, open!" She commanded.

A little box appeared and they could see the digital world in it. Tai ran up and hugged Mimi "Yes, you did it!" Then, noticing what he was doing, let go, blushing. Mimi blushed, too.

Sora rolled her eyes. "Come on, you two. Let's go." She put her digivice up to the computer and a light came out and sucked her in!

"Wow." Joe was in awe.

Mimi rolled her eyes. "Let's go." And the rest of the kids did it. But Davis came in at the wrong moment and was sucked in as well!

All the kids landed in the forest. "Ow, get off me, Sora!" Matt complained.

"Sorry." Sora said, getting off.

"That's OK." Matt grumbled, brushing off his pants.

"Wow, I can't believe we're back." Tai looked around.

"Where are we?" a voice called out.

Everyone stiffened and turned to see, "Davis!?" Joe coughed.

Davis was standing in front of them and was looking confused. "Where are we?" he asked again, avoiding Matt's eyes.

"Well, Davis, I don't know how to explain this, but..." Tai started, but was interrupted by a flash of blond hair running into him.

"Ow, watch where you're going!" Tai complained.

"Sorry...Tai?" the blond guy was in awe.

"TK!?" Tai stood with his mouth wide.

"How? When? What?" TK still was surprised.

"Long story." Mimi filled in.

TK nodded, still confused. Then he saw someone else "Davis? What are you doing here?" TK walked up to Davis, in confusion.

Davis glared at him and said "I came to find Kari."

TK nodded. "Well, I know where she is, obviously."

Davis grabbed him by the collar and shook him "Where!?"

"Well, if you let me go, I'll tell you." TK told him.

"Fine." Davis let go, not only cuz of that, but cuz Matt was ready to punch him out. "Spill."

TK rubbed his neck and started "She's in the forest. Come on." TK walked off.

Davis' face light up at the fact he would see Kari and followed. All the others followed also. TK's phone rang.

"What the...?" TK answered it. "Hello?" He paused for a moment. "How is this working?" Another moment. "I see. Well, we're going to be right there." "Oh yeah, guess who showed up?" "Yeah, I was as surprised as you were." "OK, talk to you later." "Bye." TK hung up.

Turning to everyone's confused faces, TK explained "Kari called me."

Davis' eyes widen "How come she called you and not me?" he asked.

TK shrugged his shoulders "How should I know? I'm not her, now am I?"

They walked for a few more moments, until TK said "There she is. Kari!" He called.

Kari looked up and grinned "Hey, TK! What's up?"

"Well, you know. Just chillin'" he joked. "Look what Santa brought." he grinned.

"Tai!" she broke out into a grin and tried to get up. TK ran to her and helped her up. "Kari, you do realize that your ankle still is sprained, right?"

"Yeah, just thought it healed magically." she joked.

"This is what I have to work with." he joked back, laughing.

She joined in and Mimi smiled "How sweet." she thought. But then she felt weak and passed out.

"Mimi!" Tai cried, running to his fallen friend.

TK and Kari were about to go help her, when the ground opened up and they fell in!

"TK!" Matt cried out. Tai looked up in horror "Kari!" he cried, about to go after her. But Davis beat him to it and jumped in, too. The ground closed and Kari, TK, and Davis were gone.

Tai and Matt almost broke down, crying. Sora calmed them down and told them it would be all right. "At least, I hope so."

Great, they find each other and then TK and Kari disappear again. But Davis is with them and Mimi's passed out. Now what? Pleaz RR
