Chapter Fifteen:

Epilogue

Kari gasped as TK got down on one knee. Even though she had suspected that TK would ask her to marry him soon, she never expected that he would ask her there at the party. It was something that she didn't expect.

"Kari will you marry me?" he asked again a little scared that she hadn't answered him yet. Kari looked at the ring sitting in the box and smiled.

"Yes, of course I will." Kari said pulling him up, then she kissed him. "I love you TK."

"I love you too Kari." he said as he kissed her back and hugged her. Just then Tamrie walked over to Kari and TK, just as TK was putting the ring on Kari's finger. Tamrie smiled and led the boy she had came with over to the two of them.

"So am I to assume, it's official now?" Tamrie asked Kari smiling.

"Yes, he just asked me." Kari told her still smiling.

"Cool." she said.

"So who's this?" TK asked still holding Kari's hand.

"Davis." the boy said before Tamrie could answer. "Davis Motomiya."

"It's nice to meet you." Kari said. "I'm Kari Kamiya."

"Oh yeah, Tai's little sister." he said.

"You know my brother?"

"Yeah, we play soccer together." Davis told her. "Or we used to, until he graduated highschool, and got married."

"Oh wow, small world. So how do you know Tamrie?" Kari asked

"I went to school with him the summer we all met."

"Cool, well welcome to the party." Kari said "Are you guys a couple?"

"Yeah, I guess you could say that." Tamrie said blushing. "We just started last week."

"That's so exciting." Kari said smiling. "Tai and Yuuki got married, and are already expecting their first child. I'm going to be an aunt soon."

"That's great news." Tamrie said smiling. "So does the lucky couple know about you two yet?"

"I don't know, maybe." Kari said "TK?"

"I didn't say anything to them, but Rika and Sora knew what I was going to ask."

"How did they know?"

"I was sort of fidgeting with the box, thinking of the best way to ask, and they figured it out." TK said and Kari hugged him.

"Anyway I'm going to see Taiyou." Tamrie told them. "You guys should go and see Tai and the others. Let them know what's happened."

"Okay."

"Hey Kari, I'll be right back. I need to do something." TK said as the four walked in and he spotted Rika and Ryo.

"Okay." Kari said and TK walked over to where the two were standing. He tapped Rika on the shoulder, and asked if they could talk alone.

"Of course, what's up?" she asked as Ryo walked over to where Taiyou, Tamrie and Davis were standing, and started to talk to Davis.

"I just wanted to say thanks."

"Oh, you're welcome." she said smiling as Yuuki squealed. TK smiled and walked back to where the three were standing and wrapped his arm around Kari.

"I take it he just asked?" Tai asked

"Yeah, he did." Kari said grinning. "Did everyone know, but me?"

"Probably." Matt said walking up with Sora. "Basically because he's been over there in the corner all night fiddling with the box."

"Ohh, let me see." Sora said excited. "So you worked up the courage to ask her huh? Good job, by the way."

"Heh, thanks Sora." TK said as Kari showed her the light pink colored stone set in the ring.

"It's beautiful." Yuuki told him.

"You're welcome TK." Sora said. "And Yuuki's right, it's gorgeous."

"I thought that particular gem stone was the best choice." TK said smiling thinking of back when he bought it and how he thought that it reminded him of Kari's Crest.

"Have you guys told Taiyou yet?" Tai asked

"No, not yet. It's Taiyou's party and she's supposed to be the center of attention. Don't worry though, we'll tell her." Kari said as Taiyou walked over to see what all the fuss was about.

"Hey Kari, what's going on?" she asked

"Um…well…" TK started then he felt bad. He knew he should have waited, but before he could stop Kari, she showed Taiyou the ring. "I guess…"

"What TK?" Taiyou asked smiling.

"Um well…"

"You feel strange about asking at the party now, don't you?" Kari asked

"Yeah." TK said slowly.

"Oh TK please don't feel bad about it." Taiyou said smiling. "Other than seeing all of you before I leave, this is the best gift I could get."

"I just didn't want to make a big scene." TK said. "Which is why I asked her outside."

"Oh, I guess no one warned you that everyone was going to be fawning over the ring after you asked." Taiyou laughed.

"Did I forget to mention that?" Sora asked smiling. "Oops."

"Yeah, I'm sorry Taiyou."

"Really don't worry about it." Taiyou said "I'm happy for the two of you and it'll give me something good to think about if I have a bad day while I'm gone."

"Thanks Taiyou." said TK

"No problem."

"Hey Taiyou?" Ryo asked walking over.

"Yeah?"

"You're plane is going to be leaving soon." Ryo said. "We should get going. You know so we don't miss it."

"You're right." she said, as she ran to her room and grabbed her bags. After she quickly said goodbye to everyone and received wishes of well being, as well as how much she would be missed, she ran to the car. "Alright, let's go so I don't miss the flight."

"Alright, later you guys." Ryo said as Rika followed him and TK smiling. It looked like things were finally going good. However, as Kari looked back at her ring and smiled at TK, he saw in her eyes that she shared the dame feeling that he did, that something was going to happen at some point. He didn't know when or where, but he did know it was coming.
