Chapter 3

T.k smiled at Kari. "I did it. Kari's my girlfriend and taking her to the formal, we're on vacation at the beach, and I'm even staying in the same bed as her, this is great." Kari grabbed her purse and T.k his wallet and left the room hand-in-hand. The rest of the group was downstairs about split up.

"Hey T.k, the guys and I are about to go check out the shops on the boardwalk, you coming?" Asked Izzy. Izzy normally would care less about looking at expensive souvenirs, but for once he put down is computer and decided to have some fun. Tentomon probably forced him to put his computer down during the vacation to have some fun.

"No, I'm going to go help the girls find dresses for the formal. And find myself something to wear while I'm at it. You guys have fun." Izzy then noticed T.k holding Kari's hand and nodded.

"Prodigious idea, well have fun and find something nice." Izzy smiled and joined the rest of the guys. T.k turned towards the girls and Ken.

"Ready to go?" He asked. Everyone nodded.

"But first we want to ask you a question, T.k." Said Sora, "You two are an item aren't you?" They nodded. "For how long?"

"About 20 minutes." Kari laughed. Everyone smiled and turned towards the car.

"The boutique is about 20 minutes from here so everyone just get comfortable." Said Mimi. Mimi was the most excited about this trip. She got to help everyone pick a fabulous dress. The one thing she loved almost as much as her Digimon Palmon. "So what colors are you guys thinking?"

"Maybe blue or green for me, Matt says that I look the best in blue." Sora blushed.

"I'm not really sure. What do you think, Ken?" Asked Yolei.

"Red maybe?" Yolei smiled.

"I'm not sure either." Said Kari.

"Whatever color you want, Kari. I'll match it. We'll find you the perfect dress." T.k smiled as he took Kari's hand once again.

"Well I know that I'm getting a Pink dress!" Yelled Mimi. The rest of the rides everyone was in small conversations of their own.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back at the condo the boys were getting ready to head out to the boardwalk. Tai ,Matt, Davis, Izzy, and Joe were standing in the lobby after the other left.

"So Ken AND T.k went shopping with the girls? Man, they're brave." Said Matt.

"Well they are dating two of the girls, Kari and Yolei, so it makes sense that they go help pick out something or at least go so they know what color ties and corsages to get." Said Izzy.

"Sora just asked me what color she should get." Said Matt shrugging. "I'm not into that whole wasting two hours to pick one dress and try on like fifty and saying 'that one looks fine'."

"WAIT! He's GOING OUT with Kari? Since when?" Davis yelled annoyed.

"Not sure but seeing as when they walked out of their room they were hand-in-hand must mean sometime they must have started something." Said Izzy.

"HE CAN'T GO OUT WITH HER! I WAS GOING TO TAKE HER TO THE FORMAL!" Davis yelled. "That's why you put them together isn't it? So that they would be forced to get together?"

Everyone laughed and started walking away. "He sure has a lot to learn about women." Said Tai.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back with the others~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kari and T.k were looking through different types of dresses, long ones, short one, different styles, anything and everything. T.k would point out one he thought would look nice and Kari would try it on. She still hadn't chosen one they thought was perfect. After another hour of trying on dresses Kari finally found one she loved, a long deep purple dress with a jeweled neckline.

"T.k! It's perfect!" She said excited.

"Go try it on. I'll be right here." He smiled and waved her on.

While waiting for Kari to try it on the other girls had found the dresses they wanted. Sora found a one shoulder dark blue cocktail dress. Yolei a long red strapless dress, with sweetheart jeweled neckline. And Mimi a soft pink, high low strapless dress.

Kari walked out of the dressing room and spun around. "Wow Kari, you look beautiful." T.k said.

"Thanks, T.k. It's perfect! It fits great too!" Kari was so excited. The rest of the girls walked out wearing the dresses they chose.

"So T.k, Ken, how do we look?" They asked spinning around.

"You all look great!" The girls walked back into the dressing rooms to change. Once they were finished they walked to the other side of the store to find T.k and Ken matching clothing.

"Hello, what can I help you with?" Asked the clerk.

"Well we are looking for things to match our girlfriend's dresses." Said Ken.

They showed the dresses to the clerk and walked them over to the men's clothing. T.k bought a plain, white button-up shirt, with a matching purple vest and tie. And Ken bought a Red button-up shirt and red tie.

Once they finished they all piled into the car with their new attire for the formal and headed back to the rest of the group. The twenty minutes went by quickly; the girls talking about hairstyles, make-up, and anything you can imagine they would do to get ready that night. And T.k and Ken talking about their new attire.

"So why did you get just a shirt and tie, Ken?"

"I figured I could wear the shirt more than once. I like the color. Yolei made a great choice. It's a nice color and she looks great in it. What about Kari's?"

"She loves the dress. When she tried it on she looked more beautiful than I had ever seen her. Her smile big and bright and the dress flatters her so much. It's a gorgeous color on her and it's nice to see her just go and get something nice for herself for a change. And the jewels on it are nice too; she's going to sparkle on the dance floor."

By the time they got back everyone was waiting in the condo for them to return. They walked up and met the guys.

"What took you so long? You were gone for three hours! I'm starving!" Yelled Davis.

"Sorry everyone, it took me a while to find a dress." Said Kari.

"It's okay, sis. As long as you found exactly what you wanted." Tai said putting his hand on her shoulder and smiling. "You all go drop off your things in your rooms then we'll all go to dinner downstairs."

They walked to their respected rooms, put the clothes in the closets and came back minutes later.

"Let's eat!" Yelled Cody.
