Author's note: Sorry to keep everyone waiting so long, but I've been busy lately. Besides, I like cliffhangers. And at first I made a mistake that I corrected in the first chapter. I originally said that Kari has brown eyes when she has red.

Luckily, everyone was laughing to hard to notice the serious expressions on the faces of Kari and TK, or the utter bafflement on Davis's.

"What's so funny? A monster DID come out of MJ's apartment yesterday!" Davis just never learns now does he?

"If you can prove it Davis, we won't call the insane asylum and report that you haven't been taking your pills. Again!" Geena just had to express her opinions, like always. And no one-other then Kari-dares to disagree. So naturally everyone started laughing harder then ever as Geena turned to her best friend. "Anyways, girl what gives? You had the best time in the world the other day, what happened? Not that you don't look better then ever-cause you do-but in a different way. Now your like 'don't mess with me, I can and will kill you in two seconds flat if you come within a ten foot perimeter of me' type of hot, when you were a ' don't toy with me, I will drop you like the bad habits I never had cause I am smart, sweet and can have any guy I want drool just by smiling' kind of hot. The all black isn't the Kari we all know and love, so spill. What happened?"

Of the hundreds of students in the hall, only two caught the entire speech, even though everyone heard her talk. Kari and TK.

"It's a personal thing between me and some of my other friends." The tone coming from Kari was as frigid as Antarctica.

"I bet it has to do with TK, am I right?" Geena barely had time to finish her question when Davis made his presence known, yet again.

Davis had jumped and latched himself on TK's bag; pulling it off his shoulder and yanking it open so hard it nearly ripped. "CALL ME CRAZY WILL YOU! HERE IT IS! THE MONSTER!" Davis's statement was followed by laughter as Kari reached over and picked up the unmoving Patamon.

"Patty! I must have left you at TK's last night," Kari smoothly directed her next comment to Davis in a tone not nearly as sweet as the one directed at 'Patty.' "Patty is my good luck stuffed animal Davis! And she is not a monster; I designed and sewed her myself."

And with that Kari stalked off to class leaving the rest of the school to whisper heatedly as soon as she left.

The most popular rumor of all was that Kari was having mood swings because she was pregnant with TK's baby and TK was in love with one of Kari's friends that everyone saw her with when she wasn't in school. Of course this left Davis very whiney even though no one else really believed it, everyone knows not to trust gossip. But due to Davis's gullibility, Kari and TK both had an interesting lunch.

"They will know, you'll see. Won't they?" A voice, hoarse and pain filled from days of screaming and a terrible fight, pleaded with it's companion with the last statement.

"Of coarse they will. They're smart." A distinctly feminine voice answered, even though she sounded just as tired and hurt as her friend.
