CHAPTER FOUR

[The Video]…

Kari: “I'm so excited TK”

TK: “Me too Kari, Me too”. Yolei and Ken walk into the room hand in hand.

Ken: “You guys going to the Valentines Day prom too?” Yolei TK and Kari giggle.

Yolei: “Of course they are, silly everyone from school is going”. Davis stops outside the door.

Davis: “Well…not quite everyone is going.” The others looked concerned about this.

Kari: “Davis…you're not going?” Davis slowly shakes his head his head

Davis: “Well…I don't have a date, and can't have fun without one. So why should I go to a prom?”

Kari: “Davis come on, you can still get a date. Look how many Valentines did you get?” Davis' eyes cast downward.

Davis: “Kari…I don't have any.”

( Everyone gasped in horrifying shock)

Yolei: “Not one”

( Davis shook his head.)

Davis: “My mailbox has been empty since grade 3…I dare say that nobody loves me!”

(TK walked up to Davis and put a comforting hand on his shoulder).

TK: “Never mind Davis, why don't do something to take mind of the fact that you can't get a date”.

Davis: “Yeah…you're right. If you don't mind I think I'm just going to go home.”

TK: “Boy, he looks blue” Then Kari changes the subject

Kari: “Say TK, I really like the card you sent me”.

TK: “Then you got the flowers I sent you”.

“I sure did. A girl can really get spoiled around you.”

“Hey Yolei, could play the cassette of our love song?”

Yolei: “I All ready did”.

[TK]

-Now when someone loves you,

it's as if you feel like glowing

There's no knowing

What happiness is mine?

[Kari]:

-I know when someone loves me

I can that my heart is beating.

Longing to be in a meeting

With my valentine.

[TK]:

-Roses maybe red…

And violets blue must be.

[Kari]

-Sugar may be sweet

But not as sweet as me.

[TK]

-Apparently, Kari really loves me.

She is my special friend.

It's a feeling that I'd never want to miss.

[Kari]

-You've sent me a lovely cards.

with a sparkly shiny hearts

And a little cross inside that means a kiss.

* * *

Kari remembered that day so well. Yet she couldn't believe Davis had a whole video recording of it of it.

But just then, the music started to get sadder, and the screen showed Davis standing outside in the rain, and began singing his own sequel to the song.

“What's this?” said Kari.

* * *

[The Video continues]

Davis was holding a picture of Kari by a wilting rose.

[Davis]:

-When nobody loves you.

you're sad and lonesome.

On your own some,

And it's not the place to be

-I know nobody loves me

cuz I'm big and weary.

Perhaps they thinks I'm scary

So love is not to be.

-But still I've got to find a way.

To say what's on my mind.

I can be very friendly.

I'm sweet, and I'm kind.

And yet I FIND….

-Nobody loves me.

I don't have a special friend.

I'm feeling empty. Feeling at a loss

-I don't have lovely card

with a shiny sparkly heart

And a little kiss. That's written like a cross!

* * *

[TK]:

-Roses may be red

[Davis]

-But violets must be blue

[Kari]

-Sugar may be sweet…

[Davis]

-But not as sweet as you.

-But it's true.

-Nobody loves me.

I don't have a Special friend.

-I'm feeling empty, feeling at a loss.

-I don't have a lovely card.

-with a shiny sparkly heart

-and a little kiss, that's written like a cross.

-A little kiss…that's written like a cross.

* * *

Tears were streaming down Kari's face. “He did still love me back then” she said out loud.

Then the movie showed TK and Kari at the prom. Receiving the couple of the year award.

* * *

[The DJ]:

“All right teens make some room on the floor, these two are going give us their fist official dance as a couple.

Kari and TK walked over to the dance floor, as a slow song began to play.

As the two started Dancing, Davis who was watching from the window, walked sadly over to a park bench…No one saw him, except Ken and Yolei.

They walked outside to comfort their friend. The music was playing loud enough to be heard outside.

Yolei and Ken walked towards the sad young man, who crushed a nearby wild flower with his foot…and he stated to sadly singing his own words to the music.

* * *

[Davis]:

-What do you get when you fall in love?

A girl with a pin to burst your bubble

That's what you get for all your trouble.

I'll never fall in love again.

-What do you get when you like a girl?

You get enough problems to go real crazy.

After you do, she'll crush your daisy.

I'll never fall in love again.

-Don't tell me what is all about,

'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out,

Out of those chains, those chains that bind you

That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?

You get enough tears to fill an ocean

That's what you get for your devotion.

I'll never fall in love again.

* * *

Tears were flowing down his face, when he looked up and saw Kari and TK through the windows. He really needed a friend now.

Luckily he didn't have to wait too long, because he felt two comforting hands placed on his shoulders

He looked behind him and saw Yolei and Ken, who had returned from a romantic walk..

Yolei: “Davis, you shouldn't beat yourself up like this!”

Ken: “Yeah, I hate seeing my best buddy like this.” Davis smiled at his friends.

(Davis shot them both a small smile)

Davis: “Thanks guys, this really means a lot that you care about me.

Yolei: “You bet we do , listen, if there's anything we can do for you?”

Davis: “There is one thing, let me finish the song.”

(His friends agreed, and listened quietly as Davis continued to sing)

* * *

[Davis]

-What do you get when you fall in love?

You only get lies and pain and sorrow.

So, for at least until tomorrow,

I'll never fall in love again!

-Don't tell me it's an easy piece of slack

`Cause now that I'm out, I'll never go back.

I'm not trying say, that love is not great

I just want to warn you, before it's too late

-What do you get when you fall in love?

You only get lies and pain and sorrow

So, for at least, until tomorrow

I'll never fall in love again

No, I'll never fall in love again

* * *

Just like Ken and Yolei in the picture, Kari awed in pity as the song ended. “No wonder he ran away from me” she sobbed, “I hurt him so much back then”

As the next scene came into view, Kari heard Davis' voice, Narrating the rest, and sure enough…

There he was!

* * *

Davis; the Narrator: “Ken and Yolei tried to comfort me and suggested that I find other women to interact with.

But I never did. My heart belonged to Kari, and only Kari, and it still does If I can't be with her, then I would much rather be alone.

I always heard that `love hurts' but I had absolutely no idea that it could hurt you this much.

It was like missing dinner, having your home taken away, and your family died leaving you with nothing…all rolled into One. I tell you, I was one said little guy.

To make another story bad,

My son Musuko's real parents had died when he was born, and so I adopted him. As a result here I am.

I've been a single man for years, and I know that without Kari, I shall stay single for years to come.

But I still miss her a lot, and ever since my folks died, and my sister left me. I haven't felt the same ever since then.

It hurt me allot more when I retired from the digital World that I had to say goodbye to Veemon forever.

Sometimes, it's very difficult.

(Music started playing again.)

[Davis]:

-It's not easy being alone
Having to spend each day facing cruelty, on your own
When I think it could be nicer having a companion, a comrade, a friend
Or something much more nicer than that

-It's not easy on your alone
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass me over 'cause I'm Not

Standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
or stars in the sky

-But lonesome is the feeling of Spring
and lonesome can be cool and friendly-like
and lonesome can be big like an mountain
or important like a river
or tall like a tree

-When loneliness is all that's meant to be
it could make you wonder why
but why wonder, why wonder?
I'm lonely,

But it'll do fine, its cool!
And I think it's what I'm meant to be

[End of Video].

Kari placed the video back in its case, and wiped her eyes of the tears.

“Mommy” called Koji, Kari looked up. “John how long have you been standing there” asked Kari. Her son stared at her with wide-open eyes.

“Mommy, do you love Mr. Motomiya?” Kari hesitated, and finally knew what her answer was… “Yes I do love him”.

Kari went on to tell her son everything…including that she was not really his biological mother, and his real parents were dead.

Koji was shocked so much he was barely breathing. “Mommy why didn't you tell me about this?” he asked.

“It's too hard and painful to explain to you.” Cried Kari, I was supposed to be married, and have a real family, but it never worked out.”

Koji knew where this was getting at. “So now you want to start over with Mr. Motomiya right.”

His mother nodded her head.

“You know it's not too late.” Said Koji, “Musuko told me that he has no Mommy”. Kari looked up, she knew what this meant. She still had a chance.

A chance to help everything, and everyone.

“Koji go put your shoes on!” said Kari, grabbing Davis' belongings. “Where are we going Mommy?” her son asked.

“I'm going to set things right, or die trying” cried Kari. Then she and her son were in the car and on their way.
