A/N: Guys, I am so sorry this has taken so long. Things haven't been the best for me. I have the next chapter ready to post after this, so it shouldn't be a long wait. Again, I'm so sorry.
Kari was hanging around the console, Jack and Rose had already gone to bed, and she had no idea where the Doctor was. She pulled her new phone out of her pocket, along with her sonic screwdriver. She aimed it at the phone, turned it on and then let a smile creep across her face.
"Universal roaming?" The Doctor called as he entered the room.
She just nodded at him. "Yup." She told him, doing her utmost best to avoid looking at him.
"So, are you going to tell me who gave you all those gifts then?" He asked her, plonking himself down on the chair by the console.
"Nope."
He just frowned at her. "Is there a reason for that?"
"Yup."
"Spoilers?"
"Yup."
"Kari, you're going to have to talk to me properly at some point. You can't keep giving me one word answers." He told her, just wanting her to talk to him properly.
"Really?" She said, not caring about how worried he seemed to be.
"Kari, please." He pleaded, letting out a sigh.
"What do you want me to say, Doctor?" She asked him, putting her phone in her pocket again and finally looking at him. "That I didn't mean any of those things that I said? That I was completely in the wrong? Because that is never going to happen."
"I know. You're right." The Doctor said, taking her by surprise. "Everything you said, it was all right."
"Blimey, that's a first. You're actually admitting to something, agreeing with me even. This is a momentous occasion, really must be my birthday." Kari said, still looking at him in shock.
"I'm fed up with us fighting all the time. We used to be fine, we used to be happy. But now, everything just turns into an argument, both of us lose our tempers." The Doctor told her.
"Well, maybe if people stopped keeping secrets from me, and people listened to me, I wouldn't get so annoyed and fed up all the time." She told him, still leaning on the console.
"Look, I know this is still early for you, and you don't understand everything yet, but…"
"Oh, shut up, Doctor. It really isn't that early anymore. I know, okay? You told me, and I ran away from you. I needed time to sort my head out, and I haven't had the chance to do it." Kari snapped at him. "I just… I just want some time by myself, to think things over. Is that really asking for too much?"
"Well then, why don't you go and take a nice hot bath." The Doctor suggested, getting up from where he was sitting and walking over to her. "Take as long as you want. Soak in the bath until you look like a prune." He joked, putting an arm around her. For the first time since she had gotten back to him, she didn't try to get away.
"Yeah, and knowing my luck I'm going to get a headache as soon as I'm in the bath." She mumbled as he led her down the corridor and towards her room.
"So, the moment you get a headache, you just shout for me and I'll come running, okay?" He told her as they stopped outside of her door.
Kari let out a sigh. "Yeah, okay. See you in a few hours, Doctor." She said, before stepping into her room.
She dragged herself into the bathroom, only to find that the bath was already filled and waiting for her. "Thanks, sexy." She whispered, as she got herself undressed and sunk down in the tub.
Kari wasn't sure how long she had been in the bath for, but her skin had wrinkled everywhere. She pulled herself out and wrapped the fluffy blue towel around her and walked into her bedroom. The TARDIS had been kind enough to set some clothes out for her, a pair of black jeans, an electric blue shirt and a pair of converse trainers.
Once she was dressed she sat on the edge of her bed and pulled the ring box out again. She still had no idea of what she should do. For some reason, a reason that she really couldn't explain, she really wanted to talk to the Doctor, the one she was with now.
Kari made her way out of her room, her phone and the ring sitting in the pockets of her jeans. She hadn't even made it halfway when her head started pounding and she stumbled into the wall. "Doctor!" She shouted, pushing herself along the wall, trying to make it to the console room before she disappeared. "Doctor!" This time she didn't just shout, she screamed.
"Kari? What is it, what's wrong?" The Doctor called, running down the corridor towards her.
"What do you think?" She mumbled, lifting one of her hands up and looking at the golden glow around it.
The Doctor let out a sigh. "Next time you're here, we talk. Deal? No arguments, not fights. Deal?" He asked her.
She could see that his eyes were pleading for her to say yes, so she nodded at him. "I'll see you later. Say bye to Rose and Jack for me." She told him, before being completely taken over and the pain in her head reaching an unbearable level.
Once she was certain she had arrived somewhere else, she took deep breaths, waiting for the pain to subside. As she waited, she heard people talking outside. She could hear the familiar hum of the blue box she was currently inside.
"Oh right, yeah. No, still not getting it." She smiled a little when she heard her bowtie wearing Doctor.
"Doctor, in one word. In one very simple word even you can understand…" Kari's head shot up, she knew what was going to happen next, and she was damned if she was going to let it happen.
"No!" The Doctor cried. "I'm with Kari, remember her? And you're getting married in the morning!" He protested.
"Well, the morning's a long time away. And Kari isn't here. What are we going to do about that?" Amy said.
Kari couldn't take it anymore. She pulled the TARDIS doors open, just as Amy went to pin the Doctor against it. "Amelia Jessica Pond, you even think of touching him again and you will seriously regret it." Kari warned her. For some reason she was rather angry, and she could feel her eyes burning.
Amy backed away and around her bed, while the Doctor just looked at Kari with wide eyes. "Kari… when did you…" She didn't give him a chance to say anything else, as she pushed him against the doorframe and pressed her lips against his.
The Doctor didn't even hesitate to respond. He just wrapped his arms around her and let himself get lost in the moment. It wasn't until Amy decided to clear her throat that they finally broke apart. The Doctor was blushing furiously while Kari just had a huge grin on her face.
"Received and understood, Pond?" Kari said, looking at Amy. The red head just nodded at her. "Good. Glad we've sorted that out. Now, onto the next matter."
Before Kari had the chance to say anything else, the Doctor grabbed hold of her left hand and looked down at it. "Kari…"
She let out a sigh and pulled the blue box from her pocket and passed it to the Doctor. "Yeah, you gave it to me, and I kind of ran. Sorry." She mumbled.
Kari couldn't help but notice the small smile on the Doctor's face. "So why aren't you wearing it?" He asked her.
"Why isn't Amelia wearing hers?" The Doctor didn't answer her, he just pulled the ring out of the box and gently slipped the ring on her finger. "I take it I'm never allowed to take it off now?"
He shook his head at her. "Nope. Never." He told her, before reaching down and kissing her.
Amy was just sitting on her bed, not really knowing what to do anymore. She had just tried to kiss the Doctor, when she knew that he was with Kari. Amy hadn't anticipated that Kari would show up, or be as angry as she was.
The woman stayed quiet and eventually the pair broke apart again. Both of them were a little breathless, and this time Kari did have a pink tint on her cheeks. "I could get used to this." She muttered to the Doctor as he held onto her hand tightly. "But you need to look at the clock, Doctor."
He frowned at her before looking at the digital clock on the table beside Amy's bed. "She's getting married in the morning, Doctor. Look at the date." Kari whispered to him.
"Amy Pond. Mad, impossible, Amy Pond. I don't know why, I have no idea, but quite possibly the single most important thing in the universe is that I get you sorted out right now." The Doctor said, looking at her.
"And not in the way you think, Amelia." Kari added. "Come on." She reached out and grabbed her hand, before pulling her into the TARDIS along with the Doctor.
Straight away she started running around the console with the Doctor. "You know what we need to do now?" Kari called to the Doctor.
"Pick up the soon to be Mr Pond?"
She smiled at him. "Oh yes. Time to go and make his stag do something he will never forget. I'm seeing a cake, meant for a stripper."
He looked over and frowned at her. "It had better not be you in that cake." He warned her.
"Oh no, way better. I'm thinking one hot time lord." Kari told him, making him blush a little.
"Right, you two wait here. I'll be right back with Mr Pond." The Doctor called before charging out of the TARDIS.
Kari and Amy hung around in silence. Kari was just wandering around the console, twisting the ring around on her finger a little. It felt weird, it being there, but she couldn't get that stupid grin off her face.
"Kari… I'm sorry." Amy called to her meekly.
"I know." Kari called, not actually bothering to look at her. She was still annoyed with her, because she had known who the Doctor was with. And yet she tried to kiss him anyway.
"No, really I am, Kari. I'm so sorry for trying to kiss the Doctor." She pressed, going and standing beside Kari.
"Just don't do it again, Amy. You're marrying Rory, I don't think he would be too happy if he found out his fiancé was trying to snog a bow tie wearing alien the night before her wedding." Kari said, putting in a new set of coordinates.
"You're right. I'm sorry, Kari. I hope you can forgive me." Kari knew that she truly was sorry.
"Course I can. If I can forgive the Doctor for all the stupid, idiotic things he's done, I'm sure I can forgive you." Kari told her, just as the Doctor ran back into the TARDIS, looking a little flustered. "Wrong cake, dear?"
He just frowned at her. "You could have warned me. I thought they were going to toss me in front of a bus." He moaned.
"Never mind, I'm completely sure the next one will be the right one. Almost." She said, pulling the lever and sending them off to the right place from Rory's stag.
It didn't take long for a bewildered Rory to enter the TARDIS behind the Doctor. He grabbed hold of Kari's hand and pulled her under the main platform as he plonked himself in the swing hanging there. "You okay?" He whispered to her as he pulled some goggles on.
"I'm okay. What about you?" She asked him, hanging onto the side of the swing.
The Doctor just smiled at her. "A lot better now." He told her, lightly touching her hand with the ring on it.
"You know, I'm still a little confused here." She admitted to him.
"Really? Why? What's confusing you?" The Doctor seemed a little shock at her admission.
"Well, some guy poured his heart out, told me he loved me and gave me a ring. I made him leave me alone. And now I'm wearing the bloody ring."
The Doctor just frowned at her. "Okay, I don't get it?"
She let out a sigh. "Amy has an engagement ring. What exactly is this?" She asked, holding her hand up and pointing to the ring. Kari had to be honest, she had never expected him to just put it straight in her. She was glad that she hadn't shown it to any of the other Doctors.
"It looks like a ring from where I'm sitting." The Doctor said, causing Kari to roll her eyes. "What do you want it to be, Kari?"
She let out a groan of frustration. "Why is it, you can never give me a straight answer?" Kari asked him.
He just grinned at her before, picking up the blowtorch. "You might want to back away a little." He warned her, before turning it on.
She took the hint and headed back up the stairs and to where Amy was wandering around the console biting her nails.
"Oh, the life out there, it dazzles. I mean, it blinds you to the things that are important. I've seen it devour relationships and plans." There was a spark and what sounded like a small explosion from where he was working. "It's meant to do that." He told them, causing Kari to giggle a little, she knew it wasn't. "Because for one person to have seen all that, to taste the glory and then go back, it will tear you apart. So, we're sending you somewhere, together."
"Whoa, what, like a date?" Amy asked, seemingly a little nervous at the prospect.
"Anywhere you want. Any time you want. One condition. It has to be amazing." He told them, coming back up to the console and kissing Kari as he passed her. For some reason, it just made her blush. "The Moulin Rouge in 1890. The first Olympic Games. Think if it as a wedding present, because frankly it's either this or tokens."
He went and stood over by Rory. "It's a lot to take in, isn't it? Tiny box, huge room inside. What's that about? Let me explain."
"It's another dimension." Rory said, completely calm.
"It's basically another dimens…" The Doctor said, before realising Rory had actually said that himself. "What?"
"After what happened with Prisoner Zero, I've been reading up on all the latest scientific theories. FTL travel, parallel universes." Rory told him. The look on the Doctor's face was priceless, and Kari just burst out laughing.
The Doctor just frowned at Rory. "I like the bit where someone says it's bigger on the inside. I always look forward to that." He moaned, before stepping over to Kari. "Hush, you." He said, before giving her a quick kiss on the lips. It shut her up immediately.
"It's bigger on the inside." She said, making him smile at her.
"So, this date. I'm kind of done with running down corridors. What do you think, Rory?" Amy asked her fiancé.
"How about somewhere romantic?" The Doctor suggested, before he started dashing around the console. He pulled the lever and everything started shaking, startling Rory a bit and making him grab on tightly.
"So, Amy and Rory get to go on a date, what are we going to do?" Kari asked him, standing next to him at the console as they flew through the time vortex.
"Well, we can go on a date. If you want." Kari didn't know if he was being serious or just teasing her, so she didn't bother to say anything else. Beside, she knew that Amy and Rory weren't exactly going to end up having a date.
They finally landed and the Doctor pretty much dragged Kari out of the blue box with him. "Venice." He cried. "Venezia. La Serenissima. Impossible city. Preposterous city. Founded by refugees running from Attila the Hun. It was just a collection of little wooden huts in the middle of the marsh, but became one of the most powerful cities in the world." He explained as the couple came out behind him. "Constantly being invaded, constantly flooding, constantly… just beautiful. Ah, you got to love Venice. So many people did."
Kari smiled at him. "Byron."
"Napoleon."
"Casanova." She grinned, watching just a hint of panic reach the Doctor's face.
"Oh, that reminds me." He quickly looked down at his watch. "1580. That's alright. Casanova doesn't get born for a hundred and forty five years. Don't want to run into him. I owe him a chicken."
Rory just looked at him. "You owe Casanova a chicken?" He asked.
"Long story. We had a bet. Which you made me lose." He said, frowning at Kari.
"Well, not yet I haven't. But I look forward to it." She replied, trying not to giggle as they began walking through the city.
They were soon stopped by a man, putting his arm out and blocking the Doctor's way. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Papers, if you please. Proof of residence, current bill of medical inspection." The short, and rather well dressed official looking man asked.
The Doctor reached into his pocket and pulled out his psychic paper. "There you go, fellow. All to your satisfaction, I think you'll find." There was a slight grin on his face.
"I am so sorry, Your Holiness." The man replied, looking a little embarrassed. "I didn't realise."
"No worries." The Doctor replied, casually blessing the man. "You were just doing your job. Sorry, what exactly is your job?"
"Checking for aliens. Visitors foreign lands what might bring the plague with them."
"Oh, that's nice. See where you bring me? The plague." Amy moaned, whacking the Doctor lightly on the arm.
"Don't worry, Viscountess. No, we're under quarantine here. No one comes in, no one goes out, and all because of the grace and wisdom of our patron, Signora Rosanna Calvierri." The man told the group.
"How interesting. I heard the plague died out years ago." Kari could see the deep look of thought on the Doctor's face.
"Not out there. No, Signora Calvierri has seen it with her own eyes. Streets are piled high with bodies, she said."
"Did she now?" The Doctor was still thinking, as the man walked off to go and pester someone else for their papers.
"Er, according to this, I am your eunuch." Rory called, looking at the psychic paper.
"Oh yeah. I'll explain later." Amy told him, seeing the Doctor and Kari rush off together.
"Hey, Doctor." Kari whispered, tugging at his hand a little. "I have to tell you something."
He stopped and turned to look at her. "What is it?"
"I know what's going to happen, and… it isn't all good." There was a sad look on her face. Kari knew what was going to happen, she knew who was going to die. There was going to be a lot of death, and she hated it.
"When you say not all good…" The Doctor had picked up on the tone of her voice, and he knew it was serious.
"We can't save everyone. We can save a city, but not everyone." She told him quietly.
The Doctor instantly wrapped his arms around her. He hated seeing her like that, and he knew just how much she hated knowing as much as she did. "Everything will be fine, Kari. I promise." He told her, kissing the top of her head.
The pair of them looked over and across the canal just as Amy and Rory joined them. There was a huge house on the other side, and a procession of women walked out, veils covering their faces. Kari let out a sigh as she saw a man running over to one of the girls, pulling the veil back and shouting for his daughter.
"What was that all about?" Amy called, turning around to look for the Doctor and Kari. Only neither of them was there. "I hate it when they do that." She moaned, looking at Rory.
Kari had grabbed hold of the Doctor's hand and dragged him towards an alley, where she knew they would run into the man they had seen looking for his daughter. "Who were those girls?" the Doctor asked him, leaning against the wall.
"I thought everyone knew about the Calvierri school." The man commented, looking the Doctor up and down.
"We're kind of new in town." Kari told him. "Now, I know that parents do all sorts of things to get their children into a good school. But what we don't really understand is why you're so desperate to get her out?"
"Something happens in there. Something magical, something evil. My own daughter didn't recognise me. And the girl who pushed me away, her face, like an animal." He told them. It was clear that what he had seen had scared him.
"Hmm, I think we should go and meet Signora Calvierri. What do you say, Doctor?" Kari asked, smiling away at him. He couldn't help but smile back at her. "We're going to need your help." She told the man who was still watching them.
"What can I do?" He asked, completely and utterly confused.
"You can create a distraction." Kari was beaming away now.
Kari and the Doctor crept around the side of the house while the man they had met, Guido, distracted the guards by calling for his daughter and trying to get past them. The Doctor grasped her hand tightly after he used his sonic on the locked gates before they snuck in and down some stone stairs.
"Oh, this really is creepy." Kari mumbled to herself. She felt the Doctor squeeze her hand a little tighter in reassurance.
Once they made it to the bottom they found themselves in a large room with a mirror on the wall. The Doctor was so busy looking at himself in the mirror that he hadn't notice Kari slip her hand away from him and stand close to the stairs.
"Hello, handsome." He said, adjusting his bow tie.
"Who are you?" A group of girls dressed in white asked the pair, watching them closely. Kari was actually a little nervous, the way the girls were smiling didn't help.
The Doctor looked at the girls, before looking back at the mirror. "How are you doing that? I am loving it. You're like Houdini, only five slightly scary girls, and he was shorted. Will be shorter."
"Doctor, you're rambling. Maybe we should just… leave." Kari suggested, not taking her eyes from the girls. She knew exactly what they were, and in her mind, they kept flicking to their converted form. And it scared her.
"I'll ask you again, signor, signora. Who are you?" The girls called again at the same time.
"Why don't you check this out?" The Doctor said, whipping out his black leather wallet.
The girls just stared at it, while Kari let out a few giggles. The Doctor looked at her in confusion before taking a look at what he was actually holding. "Library card. Of course, it's with… he's… I need a spare." He said, putting it away.
"Well, you're not getting mine." Kari told him, finally moving a little closer to him, ready to grab his hand and drag him out of there.
"Pale, creepy girls who don't like sunlight and can't be seen. Ha! Am I thinking what I think I'm thinking?" The Doctor asked.
"You're thinking vampires. I'm thinking, no." Kari told him, earning a frown from the Doctor. She just shrugged at him before nodding back to the girls in front of them.
"But the city. Why shut down the city? Unless…"
"Leave now, signor, signora, or we shall call for the steward. If your lucky." They said, before baring the razor sharp teeth that filled their mouths.
The slowly moved forward and towards the Doctor and Kari, hissing at the pair of them. "Tell me the whole plan." He called, Kari already starting to drag him up the stairs. "One day that will work. Listen, I would love to stay here. This whole thing. I'm thrilled. Oh this is Christmas."
"No it bloody isn't. Come on." Kari shouted, having had enough and wanting to get out of there already. She knew that the girls weren't going to get them, not yet at least. But she was still worried about so many things. Such as Isabella, Guido's daughter, and him.
They ran back out of the large stone house, which was more like a mansion than anything else. "Okay, let's not do that again." Kari moaned, glad to be out of there.
"Kari, is everything okay?" The Doctor asked her, making her stop walking and look at him.
"Yeah, everything's fine. Just a little… nervous today." It wasn't a complete lie, but she wasn't being completely truthful with him either.
"All knowing?" The Doctor asked her.
"Just a little." She replied, giving him a small smile.
"Kari, what else is it? I know you, remember, and I know when something is wrong." The Doctor said, taking hold of both her hands and watching her carefully.
"It's nothing. Honestly."
He frowned at her. "You're lying. Kari, just talk to me. Please." He pleaded with her.
Kari let out a sigh. "It doesn't matter. Now come on, we need to find Amy and Rory. I'm sure they've had just as much fun as us." The Doctor relented and gave her a weak smile, before they took off on a run to find their friends.
"Doctor! Kari!" Amy shouted as she saw them, at the exact spot where they had left them.
"We just met some vampires." The Doctor called, full of excitement.
"We just saw a vampire." Amy cried, just as excited at the Doctor was.
"And creepy girls and everything."
"Vampires!" Amy called again, jumping around with the Doctor.
Kari just rolled her eyes. "Yes, yes, yes. We all saw vampires." She said, sounding a little bored.
"We think we just saw a vampire." Rory said, slightly out of breath as he finally caught up to where they all were.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Amy was just telling us." The Doctor said, just waving Rory off.
"Yeah, yeah. The Doctor and Kari actually went to their house." Amy said, still full of excitement.
By now, Kari was really fed up. "Look, never mind that. We all saw a vampire, brilliant, fantastic in fact. Now we just need to get back in there. I suggest we go and plan this out at our new friends house." She said, tugging at the Doctor's hand.
"Kari, is everything alright?" Amy asked, noticing that she was acting a little strangely.
"Yes, everything is fine. Now come on, we don't have time to waste standing around here nattering. We need to move." Kari snapped. She definitely was not in a very good mood, and now was not a good time for her to tell everyone why.
It didn't take them long to reach Guido's home, and they walked there in silence. Everyone was worried about Kari, she was just acting too oddly for their liking. Something was wrong with their friend, and they were concerned.
"As you saw, there's no clear way in. The House of Calvierri is like a fortress. But there's a tunnel underneath it, with a ladder and shaft that leads up into the house. I tried to get in once myself, but I hit a trapdoor." Guido told them as they looked at the map that was spread across the table.
"You need someone on the inside." Amy concluded.
Straight away Kari glared at her. "No. Not a chance Amy, so get that thought out of your head right now." Her voice was firm on the matter, but Amy was still going to argue with her.
"You don't even know what I was going to say."
"That we pretend you're an applicant for the school to get you inside, and tonight you come down and open the trap door and let us in. I do know Amy, I know a lot more about any of this than you do." Kari told her, still glaring at her. "And the answer is no, Amy. And that is the end of it." The Doctor took hold of her hand and gently squeezed it.
"Oh." Amy said, a little sheepishly. She had noticed Kari's eyes glow a little, and she knew that she was pushing her friend too much.
"Are you insane?" Rory asked his fiancée.
"We don't have another option." Amy protested quietly. She knew that Kari had said no, but there still was no other option.
"She said no, Amy. Listen to her."
That was when Guido decided to speak up. "I work at the arsenal. We build the warships for the navy." He said, pointing to the wooden barrels that Rory was sitting on.
The Doctor casually walked over to them and sniffed at them. "Gunpowder. Most people just nick stationary from where they work." He told Guido. "Look, I have a thing about guns and huge quantities of explosive."
"What do you suggest, then? We wait until they turn her into an animal?" The man growled. He only wanted his daughter back, she was all he had left.
"I'll be in there three, four hours tops." Amy said casually, trying to avoid the glare that Kari was giving her.
"Not a chance, Amelia Jessica Pond." Kari ground out. "If anyone is going in there, then it's me. And don't you even try to fight me on this one Doctor. I know exactly what I am doing, I know what is going on in there."
The Doctor just took her by the hand and led her out of the room, needing to talk to her alone. "Kari, what's going on? You're snappy, very snappy."
She let out a sigh. "Nothing is going on. I just don't want to let Amy go in there. Rory is worried about her enough, why put him through even more when I could do this?" She asked him.
"Do you know what is going to happen in there?" He asked her, hoping to get an honest answer from her.
"Yes. So let me do this and not Amy. I can do this, Doctor. Just let me do this." Kari pleaded.
The Doctor thought about it for a minute before nodding at her. "Okay, come on. We best tell the others." They made their way back into the room, and all eyes were on them. "Kari's going in."
"What? You can't be serious?" Rory protested.
"So, I can't go in there but she can?" Amy snorted, clearly not happy with how things had turned out.
"Yes, Amy. I can go in there. You seem to forget who I am sometimes. I just told you, I know a lot more than you. I have a better chance to defend myself against them than you do." Kari knew that she was starting to lose control, but she just couldn't stop it. She didn't even know why she was getting so annoyed so easily.
"This whole thing is mental. They're vampires, for God's sake." Rory cried, not wanting anyone to go in there. He was grateful that Kari had stopped Amy from going in there, but he would prefer if no one went in there.
"We hope." The Doctor mumbled from where he was sitting with Kari.
"So if they're not vampires?" Amy wondered, trying her best to avoid eye contact with Kari. Her eyes were still glowing golden slightly, and it worried her.
"Makes you wonder what could be so bad it doesn't actually mind us thinking it's a vampire." The Doctor told her, lightly rubbing Kari's back, trying to help calm her down. He hated seeing her get so angry, especially so quickly.
"Fish from space." Kari mumbled, earning a confused look from the Doctor. "Doesn't matter. Come on. Rory, you can get me in there."
Kari and Rory quickly got changed into some more suitable clothing. If she was going to get accepted into that special school, she needed to look the part.
A/N: Once again I am sorry for how long it has taken me to get this chapter finished and posted. Life just sucks some times. And sorry for any spelling and grammatical errors as well.
To those who have requested episodes, they have been noted and bumped up on the list. Yes, I have a list of episodes to do.
So, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and that it was worth the wait. Something is up with Kari, and you'll all find out soon enough why she's acting so strangely.
Thank you for all the wonderful reviews, they really brighten up my day, so keep them coming.
Pippa.
