You are my Sunshine…
Epilogue
Time: 2 days later…
"Kari honey, someone's at the door for you!"
"I'll be right there!" Kari called back at her mom.
"I wonder who it is," Yolei asked. Sora, Matt, Tai, and Mimi giggled. It was a small gathering at Tai's house partly because Mimi came down from America for a few visiting days. Kari got up and walked to the front door. Tai, Sora, Yolei, Matt, and Mimi all cramped together watching from Kari and Tai's bedroom door. Kari opened the front door and blinked in surprise.
"I thought you were at a science convention with Ken?"
"They cancelled," Izzy Izumi replied as he walked into the house.
"Oh," Kari said. "Would you like to join us?"
"No," Izzy said, holding the front door open. "I'm just visiting for a few minutes. Kari, I have to tell you something that happened four years ago-"
"I almost died," Kari said. "And you brought me back with CPR."
Izzy bit his lip, astounded. "Yes, how did you know?"
"It gives 'recurring dreams' a whole new meaning," Kari said, smiling. "I never got the chance to thank you."
Izzy shook his head. "Don't. If it wasn't for your advice, you wouldn't be standing there right there."
Kari smiled. "So, is that it?"
"Um, basically," Izzy said. "Well, I guess I've got to go."
"Wait," Kari said. Izzy turned to look at her, and Kari planted a kiss on his cheek. Muffled giggles could be heard from behind Kari's bedroom door.
"Take care, Oni-san," Kari said. ('Oni-san' is 'big brother')
Izzy smiled back at her as the door shut slowly. "I'll see you later, little sis!"

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
You make me happy, when skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you,
But please, don't take my sunshine away."
