Authors Note: Since the last chapter was really short, I'll send this one as a bonus. I only have a couple more typed up so, I'll spread those out to make sure there isn't a huge span of time before I can get more typed up. Enjoy!
Chapter1: The Best of Times
It had been almost four years since anyone had heard from Davis Motomiya. Not even his family knew where he had gone. It wasn't like him to disappear without a trace. Truth be told, no one noticed anymore. Sad as it may seem, it was the truth. The older digidestined had graduated from college and were on their way to starting their careers. Izzy was a computer programmer and had just signed on with a major company. Joe was still working hard to become a doctor. Tai was signed up with the pro- soccer team while his girlfriend, Sora, was designing fashions for a huge company. Matt was still in the music business. He had changed the name of his band from The Teenage Wolves to simply The Wolves. In one year alone, he had two albums go double platinum and was well on his way to being internationally known. Matt's girlfriend, Mimi, had just started her own cooking show and she was hoping it would be a huge success. Her goal was to one day start a restaurant.
As for the younger digidestined, their college days were ahead of them. Cody was studying something along the lines of Criminal Justice, or Law. Ken wanted to be a detective. Yolie wasn't sure what she wanted to major in just yet. T.K. was studying to be a writer and Kari was studying to be a teacher with a photography class on the side. Luckily for them they all got accepted to the same college. Kari and Yolie were roommates. Ken and T.K. were roommates. Since Cody was a year younger, he roomed with someone else. Ken and Yolie had begun dating their Junior year of High School. Even though it was obvious they liked each other, T.K. and Kari seemed content to be just friends. No matter how the others tried, they just couldn't get the bearers of Light and Hope to admit their feelings to each other.
Without Digital World problems to bother them, The digidestined were able to live normal lives. Their only worries were whether or not they studied hard enough for their finals. They enjoyed college life to the fullest, becoming better friends each day. Before they knew it the days were turning to weeks, the weeks to months, and the months to years. During the younger digidestineds Junior year of college, Tai and Sora finally got married. It was at their wedding when T.K. and Kari finally confessed their feelings for each other. Not long after Tai and Soras wedding, Matt and Mimi tied the knot. With Ken and Yolies Senior year of college ahead, it was obvious who would wed next.
"Are you done yet?" T.K. asked, entering the dark room where Kari was working.
"Five more minutes." Kari told him. "I've only got three more pictures to develop for my final."
"But you said you'd be done an hour ago." T.K. stated. "We're going to be late."
"Yolie and the others will understand. Besides, you don't want your girlfriend to fail one of her favorite classes, do you?"
"Of course not, Angel."
"I promise. Five minutes." Kari said, playfully kissing T.K. on the nose.
"I'll be outside." T.K. said then left.
True to her promise, five minutes later Kari exited the room with her final in hand.
"I just need to put these in my room and we can go." Kari stated.
"Where are they?" Yolie asked no one in particular. She had been looking at her watch constantly for 30 minutes.
"I'm sure they'll be here." Ken stated trying to calm Yolie down. "I'm sure they have a good explanation."
Cody was in charge of setting things up for a picnic in the park. It was a tradition that had started when the five first started college. It began as a cool way to study, but soon turned into a relaxing way to enjoy the outdoors. Cody joined Yolie and Ken just in time to hear Yolie rant for the hundredth time. As soon as Yolie finished her rant, Cody spotted T.K. and Kari coming towards them.
"It's about time you two got here. I was beginning to worry." Yolie stated.
"Sorry we're late." Kari apologized. "I had to finish developing my pictures for my final and this was the only day I could get the room."
"That's all right." Ken said. "I knew you had a good reason. Now then, I vote we eat this good food Yolie managed to swipe from her families convenience store." He winked at Yolie who blushed slightly.
The five sat down to enjoy the picnic while catching up on each others lives. Yolie and Ken had just recently gotten engaged. They were planning on marrying after college. Cody had a girlfriend and he planned on introducing her to the rest of the digidestined at Sora's Christmas party. Kari heard a rumor that Tai and Sora were expecting, but her brother wouldn't tell her if it was true or not. Yolie had heard that Izzy had found a girlfriend, but didn't know if it was true. The five continued talking until the sun set.
"Merry Christmas." Sora greeted Yolie and Ken. "We're glad you could make it."
Tai and Sora had gotten an apartment halfway in-between their parents places. Sora claimed it was pure coincidence, but some weren't so sure. The place wasn't small and it wasn't big. It was just right. A nice cozy place that suited them nicely. The party went off without a hitch. Cody showed off his new girlfriend and Izzy had brought his girlfriend confirming the rumor that Yolie heard. Joe also had a girlfriend, however, she was unable to make it to the party because of a family emergency. Although the party was great, something was bugging Ken. For some reason Ken started thinking of Davis. Davis had been gone too long. He had been gone way too long for soul searching, a sabbatical, or whatever. What was bugging Ken the most was that Davis had left without telling anyone. It was almost like he was forced into something against his will. Ken was brought out of his thoughts by the announcement it was time to exchange gifts. By the end of the night it was agreed the party had been a success. Although, Kari and Yolie never did find out if the baby rumors were true.
Six months later
Kari was in the dressing room with Yolie, Sora, and Mimi. They were putting the finishing touches on Yolie's hair and makeup. Today was Yolie's wedding day and she was very nervous.
"You look so beautiful, Yolie." Sora said. Sora was six months pregnant, confirming the rumor that she was indeed pregnant around Christmas.
Although Mimi was cooking for a living, her specialty still remained fashion. They had bustled over Kari, Yolies Maid of Honor, in much the same way they did now with Yolie. Seeing as it was Yolies day, she got most of the attention. Ken had asked T.K. to be his Best Man. There was a knock on the door which Mimi answered.
"Mrs. Inoue, please come in." Mimi stated, stepping aside for the mother of the bride.
"You look beautiful." Mrs. Inoue complimented her daughter.
"Thank you mother." Yolie replied.
"I must inform you that it is time to start." Mrs. Inoue told Yolie. She then left the room with Mimi and Sora following.
Kari retrieved the bouquets from the dresser and made a few last minute adjustments to Yolies dress, before they left. They walked down the hallway where they joined Yolie's father and T.K. who were waiting for them. Kari handed Yolie her bouquet before turning toward T.K.
"You look very beautiful, Kari." T.K. told her.
"Thank you." Kari said blushing. "You look handsome yourself."
"Thanks." T.K. replied offering her his arm which Kari took.
The ceremony started and the flower girl and ring bearer went first followed by Kari and T.K. Everyone stood to their feet as Yolie and her father walked towards the alter together. The wedding was beautiful and their wasn't a dry eye in the place. After the wedding, there was a reception followed by Ken and Yolie departing for their honeymoon.
The summer went by fast and the last year of college for Kari and T.K. arrived all too soon. (A.N.: Sorry if I didn't make it clear, but Ken and Yolie are a year older than T.K. and Kari.) By the time the school year had ended, a lot had changed. Tai and Sora gave birth to a son, Taylor, making Kari an aunt. Matt and Mimi also had a son, Mark, who was born two months after Taylor. This made T.K. an uncle. Ken and Yolie were expecting and both Joe and Izzy had married. Ken was a detective while Yolie stayed home and took care of the house. T.K. was an author with a newly published book about their adventures in the digital world. The story was something he'd written for his final and the teacher secretly had it published as a surprise for T.K. Kari had been accepted as a teacher for a kindergarten and would start in the fall. She also planned on doing some free-lance photography or teaching photography to the local University on weekends. Cody had decided to become a lawyer and only had one year left to complete his degree. He planned on marrying after graduation. T.K. had asked Kari to marry him the day of their graduation and she excepted. Plans for their wedding were well underway. Seeing as Yolie was going to be Kari's Maid of Honor, it was going to be an interesting wedding.
Authors Note: I hope that didn't suck too bad. I promise it gets good! I just have to get some house cleaning things out of the way, if you get my drift. Also, this is more of a Takari centered fic, but I made sure to give the spotlight to some of the other couples as well. Only one more chapter like this, then the action starts so, bear with me. Please take note of the little button in the bottom of the left hand corner and press review. Thanks.
