There are things that I would like to say, but will decide not to. Not here ... You can check out my forum for my response to Vixen, the coward who blocked my personal messages. The forum topic is open to anyone, and if you would like to comment on my perception of Ken, Yolei, Davis, and Cody in this fic, then you can do it in a comment or on the forum. I am respectful towards constructive criticism and a bitch towards flames. I also admire a constructive flame.

So -- this is before the accident. After this chapter, I will begin to pick up on where chapter three left off. The next chapter will have more of Ken in it.


Today was a day to celebrate. Years of peace and tranquility in the digital world began on this day. There was already a celebration in the digital world with their digital friends. Now it was their turn. Now it was time to "boogey down" (the term Izzy offered the Digimon to explain what they were going to be doing) human style.

They all chose Tai and Matt's apartment to meet. With the couch pushed against the wall, there was enough room for a celebration with music and games to happen. Sora brought her Twister for kicks and giggles. No DigiDestined party was complete with out some game to make things awkward. It had become a tradition.

The party went along without a hitch. Yolei, searching the bottom of her ginger ale for some more, got frustrated when she couldn't find any. "I'm going to get more to drink from the kitchen, does anyone want anything?" Everyone declined, besides Davis, who decided to go with her into the kitchen. "Do you need anything?" she asked, standing behind Ken's seat.

Ken threw his head back and watched Yolei upside down. "No, thanks," he said with a smile. When she began walking away, he lifted his head.

Davis shut the door behind them, following her with his empty cup in his hand. "What's bothering you?"

Yolei placed her cup down and searched for something in the fridge to drink, "what are you talking about?"

"I mean it looks like something's bothering you." Davis moved closer and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Do you want to talk?"

"No," she said with a cold tone.

Davis took a step back, letting her go. "Fine." Reaching past her, he grabbed a can of soda and took a sip from it. When he turned to leave, Yolei spoke up.

"I wasn't going to say anything, but I don't know what to do." Davis stopped and watched her as she leaned on the door, staring into the fridge. She wasn't looking for anything, she just needed something to look at as she sorted through the thoughts in her head. "I don't even know for sure, it might just be in my head."

He was silent for a couple of moments. He was going to say something when she shut the fridge and began to silently weep. He was never really good at dealing with girls when they were crying, but he was determined in trying to help. Walking closer, he placed a hand on her back. "Do you want to tell me?" he asked, rubbing her back gently.

Yolei nodded and turned to face him. "I -- um --" Yolei stopped to play with the end of her shirt. To help her talk, he grabbed her hands and held onto them. "I think I'm pregnant."

The grip on her hands was loosened, mostly in fear. This didn't help Yolei emotionally, and she began to cry harder. Cursing himself silently, he reached for her hand again, even though she fought him.

"I shouldn't have said anything," she said through tears. She couldn't stand to look at Davis, and she searched the room something else to focus on. "Cody!" she exclaimed, giving Davis a small push back. The sight of the younger DigiDestined shocked her greatly, draining the color from her face. "H-How long have you been there."

"Long enough." Cody cast a look at Davis, who took that as a sign to leave. Davis grabbed his soda and left. Cody watched him as he fled, nearly tripping over his foot as he left.

"Cody," Yolei said softly, forcing a smile, "try not to think into it too much. Noth---"

"What do you think you're doing?" Cody interrupted, his voice slightly above a whisper. "Do you think I'm stupid, that I don't have eyes?" Cody's questions were not meant to be answered. "You've been with Ken for years and you're screwing around with his rival? Are you insane?"

"We're not screwing around," Yolei said, anger dripping from her voice.

"Not only are you lying to me, but you're lying to yourself." Cody chucked his cup into the garbage, "Do you think he loves you? Do you think that when Ken finds out, he'll let it go?"

Yolei's heart sank, "please don't tell him." When Cody did not promise or make a word, she walked closer to him, "please!"

Cody stepped back, shaking his head. "I won't say anything. I'll leave that up to you." Cody turned around, walking back to the party. Before opening the door, he looked back and said, "you might want to calm down before you come back in if you intend on keeping up this lie." Opening the door, he filled the apartment with music and quickly ended it when he shut it behind him.


Originally, this started off as the second chapter, but my ideas changed. I wanted to introduce more stuff into it. I don't think Cody will have that much of a role in this fic. This may change as I think about the storyline more. So -- yeahh ... I'm not 100 percent happy with this chapter. It just --iono. My beta reader loved it, and I respect her opinion. I think I'm just being bitchy.
