Davis' little scheme to have Ken start hanging out with him and the others had miserably back-fired on him. Davis had started inviting Ken to the digital world

with them, or to the movies, or to the ice cream parlor, and anywhere all of them were going. He would have just asked Ken to hang out with him alone, but he knew

Ken would decline and say no to that.

At first, things were going great. Ken was too shy to talk to any of the others and only spoke to Davis. Yet, as things progressed, Ken soon started talking with

Yolei more than anybody else. He would always sit next to her, having whispered conversations while the rest talked or ate. They giggled every now and then, and

Davis knew that that wasn't at all good.

Currently, it was Saturday, and all of the had decided to meet up at Odiaba Ice Cream Parlor. As they walked into the door to the parlor, davis scooted his way

next to Ken, hoping he wouldn't be noticed until they sat down beside each other.

Ken looked over at davis, to see what he was up to. Davis was now inches away from him, making Ken a bit uncompfortable. He looked to Yolei and the others,

who were already seated, and looked to Davis with a bit of a glare.

There was an empty seat next to Yolei, and Davis knew Ken wanted to sit there. Yet, davis would then have to sit next to Ken, for Kari, TK and Cody were across

the table. So, to Ken's dismay, there was no way he could get out of sitting next to davis.

"Ken! Come on!" Yolei siad, urging Ken to sit next to her. Giving a brief glance at davis, Ken was about to sit down, when Davis side stepped him and sat down first.

"Davis!" whined Yolei. Ken gulped as he nervously sat down next to Davis, leaning himself as far away from Davis as possible. Davis smiled. Now Ken and Yolei

couldn't talk to each other. Ken was all his!

While they ordered, and everyone's menu's where up and covering their faces from view, Davis looked to Ken, who was trying his hardest to ingore him.

"So Ken" whispered Davis. "You look nice today. Can't say I've ever seen you wear yellow before. Looks good on you."

Ken blushed a furious red, understanding the hidden meaning of that sentence. Without realizing it, ken began to slightly shiver in his seat.

"W-Well, my mom picked it out. She says...I wear too many dull colors..." spoke Ken as casually as he could, which wasn't very good.

"I don't think you do...Makes you look s-" Davis was unable to finish that sentence as Ken took his menu and whacked Davis in the face as hard as he could.

Ken was now drenched in nervous sweat.

Everyone else pulled down their menus to see what was going on.

"What's going on?" asked TK, blinking at the two with wide eyes.

Ken blushed even more, if that was possible. "Sorry, my menu slipped, and when I tried to re-grab it, I accidently hit davis. Not too hard though" lied Ken, glaring

at Davis at the last sentence. Several moments of silnce ensued, the others looking between davis and Ken, and then went back to their menus.

Davis was rubbing his right cheek, where Ken had hit him.

"What was that for?" hissed davis into ken's ear.

"That's what you get for hitting on me, you pervert!" Ken hissed back. Davis glared at ken wide-eyed.

"Ken! You know I can't help it! I've had a major crush on you for like-"

"Do you wish for me to hit you again!" seathed Ken. "I can hit a whole lot harder than that!"

Davis went silent.

The next two hours went uneventful. After they had gotten their orders in, Yolei demanded that Ken and Davis switch places, to ken's excitment.

Reluctnatly, Davis swicthed places with him. Yolei and Ken then started a conversation.

"So, what's your favorite color?" asked Yolei to ken, as they sat waiting for their bill. TK and Kari were doing the same thing Ken and Yolei were doing while Cody

secretly fed Upamon, who had demanded to come along with them. This left davis with absouletly nothing to do.

"I'm not sure...Never really thought about it before" replied Ken honestly.

"Come on! Please! tell me!" begged Yolei. Ken smiled.

"Blue."

Yolei giggled in delight. "My favorite color would have to be ornage or purple."

Ken reached over and grabbed a lock of Yolei's hair. "I can see why."

Davis glared daggers at the two fo them for having such a great time with each other. As they continued to talk, davis glanced over to see a a couple sitting down,

looking through their menus. Having nothing esle better to do, Davis eavesdropped.

"Mark! Why did you order that? You know that you almost choked on that last time! I had to do CPR on you!" cried the wife.

"I know I know..." grumbled the husband.

Davis didn't need to hear anymore, for he now ha an idea. Looking back over to Ken, he asked, "Say Yolei, you like cheesecake, right?"

Yolei blinked at his question, while Ken looked at him suspiciously.

"yeah..." Yolei answered slowly.

"Then why don't you order some for desert! You can get some strawberry's on top" davis asked, knowing how much his friend loved sweets and desert.

Yolei couldn't help but lick her lips. Looking at ken, she smiled and nodded. "Sure! Why not?"

"Um...Yolei..." Ken tried to object, having a terrible feeling Davis was up to something.But he didn't have the heart to keep Yolei from eating something she loved.

So, within minutes, Yolei had a slice of cheesecake in front of her, and so did TK and Cody.

"Wow! What large strawberries they put on these!" remarked Cody.

"Yeah, I know...Ken! Why don't you have one!" beamed Yolei, picking up a strawberry. Ken had to admit, it did look tasty. The strawberry was almost as tall

as his thubb, and almost just as wide, so Ken sliced into in half and began eating it. Assoon as the largest part of it was in Ken's mouth, and just as he was about

to swallow it, davis saw his chance.

He made himself look as though he hadn't seen ken eat the strawberry, and suddenly hit him hard on the back.

"Say ken! Did you write that history report yet!" Davis cried, as though he was only asking his friend a question.

Ken, caught off gaurd, wasn't able to swallow the strawberry properly, therefore, it got stuck in his throat. Panicking, Ken started reaching out for anything on the table,

trying o get someone's attention that he was choking, before he passed out due to lack of air.

"KEN! Oh my God! He's choking!" screamed Kari.

Davis was up in an instant, and started pulling Ken's limp body down to the floor.

"relax everyone!" davis cried, sounding a bit too triumphant for this type of situation. "I know CPR!"

As everyoine gathered around to see, Davis began CPR. First, he checked for breathing, then he tilted Ken's head back, and leaned over, and put his lips to Ken's.

Davuis couldn't help but smile. Ken's lips were so soft...

Continuing the CPR, davis then pounded on Ken's chest, hoping to help Ken breath again. After five pounds, ken took in a raggedy breath as the half eaten strawberry,

came up and back into his mouth. ken spit it out into his hand and gave a disgusted face as he slowly sat up, but davis wouldn't let him.

"Relax ken. I'm here for you" he said.

While the others were distracted, trying to get the crowd around them to go away, davis knelt down and kissed Ken, making it look like he was still doing CPR.

Ken's eyes went wide with fright as he saw what davis was doing to him, yet he remained calm.

"Thank you davis" said Ken, after Davis let him sit up.

"You're welcome ken! You enjoyed that huh?" Davis whispered back.

"No davis. I thought I was dying." Ken replied coldly.

"Oh, sorry..."

"And, I know you did this all on purpose. And if you really wanted a kiss from me that badly, you should have just done it publically, instead of nearly killing me."
"Ken, I'm sorry, but you must understand that I love you very much, it's hard for me to see you with Yolei" said Davis.

Ken nodded. "Yeah. And it's hard for me to know that you were desperate enough, to put my life in danger, just for a single kiss."

"But, I saved your life!" cried Davis. "Doesn't that mean anything to you?"

"Sure it does, but don't expect a repayal" hissed Ken as he stood up. Yolei was hugging him as son as he stood, asking him if he was okay. Ken smiled.

"I'm fine Yolei" Ken whispered to her reassuringly.

"Good, I was afraid that he first boyfriend I ever had dies moments after we started dating" Yolei joked a bit.

Davis froze. "You two are going out?"

Ken turned to Davis, eager to see his reaction to this news. "Yeah, she asked me out right before I choked and I said yes. Is that a problem Davis?"

Davis stared at ken, who was fighting back a smug look of triumph.

Davis gulped, and then slowly nodded. "yeah...Th-That's cool."

"Wow! Yolei and Ken, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-" began Cody, but stopped when he looked at Davis' pissed off expression, and the blushes he was

giving Ken and Yolei.

"Wow! Congradulations you two!" appluaded TK. kari nodded, giving a small bounce of happiness. Ken smiled as he put an arm around Yolei's waist, but he glowered

at Davis.

The war was on...
