Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Power Rangers: Digital ❯ Jumping Jealousy ( Chapter 7 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

EPISODE SIX
 
In the mid springtime… the weather tends to get warmer. New birds hatch, and the grass turns lushing-green. It's also a great time for romance too… but sadly, only TK, Yolei and Ken knew those joys.
 
“How was your date last night?” Kari asked Yolei.
 
Yolei and Ken went ice-skating, and she had to admit, it was the biggest mistake of her life because she fell down sixteen times in a row.
 
Davis couldn't help but laugh. “What, don't tell me you can't skate? Ha!”
 
“Davis!?” Kari snapped, but actually, Yolei agreed with him. She really thought the ice hated her.
 
“Well… Mina and I just hit the town last night.” TK said. “Music-shops… the movies… the arcade… grabbed a pizza.” he lay back in his chair and sighed warmly.
 
“Gee… you and Mina look you're getting tight.” Yolei said.
 
“Mm-Hmm… I think so too.” TK said. “In fact… I think I'll go see her.” he got up and left. “See ya, guys.”
 
Then it was Yolei's turn to get up and leave. “I got to run. I have to look after my family's store again.” she said, and then she gazed back at Ken. “But we're still on for the movie?”
 
Ken nodded. “Seven pm. don't worry, I'll be there.” he said to his girlfriend. They shared a quick kiss and then Yolei was gone.
 
Davis couldn't help but envy Ken and TK. “Man, you guys are so lucky.” he said. “I'm beginning to think I'll never find the right for me.”
 
“Oh, sure you will, Davis.” Kari said. “Sure you can be all tough… and a little boisterous like Tai is… but I'm sure you've got a sweet side.”
 
Davis was starting to think there was something odd about the way Kari was speaking about him… maybe more than what they meant.
 
“I got to run. I promised to wash the blackboards in the classrooms today.” Then she left, but Davis was still starring at her. Even after she was out of sight, his eyes never left the spot she was last at.
 
“Davis? Hey, Davis?!”
 
He finally snapped out of his trance. “Huh? Oh… uh… what was I doing again?” he asked all embarrassed.
 
Ken raised an eyebrow. “You were staring at Kari like the ways you used to.” he said. “Davis, do you still… you know… “LIKE” Kari?”
 
Davis felt a little confused at that question. “Well… yeah… she's my friend. Of course I like her.”
 
Ken shook his head. “You, “LIKE HER” Like her. As in… you still have feelings for her?”
 
Davis could feel his cheeks almost tuning red with embarrassment, and he knew he was licked. “Yeah… so I still have feelings for her.” he said. “So, what?”
 
“So… don't you think maybe you'd want to do something about this? I mean, you like her, and you never once asked her out, or gave her a flower, or anything.”
 
Davis knew he was right. He never did do any of things to try and impress Kari that much. It wouldn't have mattered either, “Kari already knew I liked her, and she never cared about it, not once.” He said. “All she did was flirt with TK, just to try and make me feel jealous.”
 
Ken smiled, and held in a laugh. “Yeah… those were good times.”
 
Davis shot him a straight look. “Hey… it wasn't fun or funny!” he slumped down back in his seat. “Why should I even bother try and go for it, when I know that's just begging for trouble?”
 
Davis decided to stop before he really lost his cool. “Never mind. I'm just going to take off. I got to mop the floors for detention anyways.” and he left.
 
Ken was starting to detect a bit of sadness in Davis' voice. He thought maybe he should do something to help him out, after all… Davis did help Ken several times after his evil ways were through; Helped him back onto his feet, and find ways to be strong and make amends for his crimes.
 
He decided he'd go for it, but he'd need a little help.
 
Meanwhile
 
Lockhart had been watching rangers, and chuckled hysterically. “Oh, no… it can't be. Hmm, mm, mm. The Red Ranger has a thing for the Pink. Ho, oh, oh, oh!”
 
Black-Gatomon stretched out on her cat-bed. “I fail to see why this humors you, sir.” she said.
 
Lockhart gazed down at his pet. “Because… this give me a wonderful idea of how to get rid of the rangers for good. Any other questions?!” he said sternly. Black-Gatomon shivered and remained silent. “Mmm… good.” Then Lockhart called the laboratory.
 
“Professor… I have a mission for you.”
 
Later on
 
Ken spoke with Yolei about trying find a way to set Kari and Davis up, but she almost seemed against the idea. “It's not that I don't like the idea of them dating… it's just…” but she found herself cornered. “All right, So I am against the idea.”
 
“But why, Yolei?” her boyfriend asked.
 
Yolei explained that, “I'm not sure it's a good idea to hook them up like this. Kari's never been on a date before.”
 
Ken's eyes widened. “She hasn't?”
 
Yolei shook her head. “She's never been on a single one like the rest of us, and I'm just worried if she goes out with Davis… well… everything will be a… total disaster.”
 
She went on saying that if Kari and Davis started dating each other, they would inevitably break-up, and then the rest of them would be caught in the middle.
 
They wouldn't be able to hang out as a gang anymore. Yolei wouldn't even be able to mention Davis' name in Kari's presence… and what about their Ranger skills? Wouldn't a break up leave them temporarily, and emotionally-weakened?
 
Of course she and Ken were dating, but that was entirely different. They loved each other and had no plans for break up. Kari and Davis however, it was an entirely different subject.
 
“I'm sorry Ken, but I just don't think I should help you on this one.”
 
 
Ken tried talking to Cody next, and Cody just grunted and poised his Kendo-stick. Obviously he was on Yolei's side. “But, Cody…”
 
Cody just snuffed again, and Ken took that as his cue to leave. “It seems I have no choice now.” he thought to himself.
 
 
TK was sitting on the sidelines, with a soda in his hands, on the school football field, and watching the cheerleaders do their practice. He sat there just gazing at the girl with voluminous blonde hair in the middle; his girlfriend, Mina.
 
She looked so incredibly beautiful. Just like an Angewomon, to him, but he was suddenly snapped out of his trance when Ken came up to him and told him about his idea, and surprisingly… TK actually agreed with him.
 
“Kari and Davis have to know what it's like to actually have a real date.” He referred to when Davis had troubles with Cassie, and Kari never actually went tout with a guy before. “They may as well start off with each other.”
 
He left a note near his stuff telling Mina he's be back in a few minutes, and to meet him when he got back. Then he and Ken ran off towards the school… unbeknownst to them that trouble was soon to occur.
 
Meanwhile
 
The Professor had finished his experiments, and presented Lockhart with a his latest formula. “Here it is, sir.” he said. “My, new and improved… Jumping-Jealousy-Juice.” (Say… that's pretty catchy)
 
“A few small doses will instantly turn anyone into a raging, jealousy, fighting-machine. Observe.”
 
He demonstrated by spraying a few drops of his mix into a cage of hamsters. The hamsters suddenly began to fight and gnaw at each other for lager portions of the food. Lockhart was most impressed. “Excellent.” he sniggered deeply. “You know what to do… now make it happen.”
 
The Professor bowed, and left.
 
Black-Gatomon was still confused, but then Lockhart told her that in all his study's of the world, and even peeping and spying on local civilians, he knew all about Davis and TK's old silly rivalry over Kari, and he thought it would be a great Idea to help him crush the rangers.
 
“If you can't destroy the rangers yourself, get them to destroy each other. Hmm, mm, mm…!
 
...
 
At that very moment, in the Real-World, one of the Robo-Cops had appeared on the ball-field. Unfortunately, TK hadn't returned yet, and the cheerleaders were too distracted with their routines to notice a thing.
 
The Robo-Cop crept his way over to TK's things, and pulled out a vile of the mixture. He carefully poured it all into TK's soda and gave it a mix. Then he vanished, and was gone.
 
Phase one had begun… but TK was not the only one for Lockhart's targeting.
 
Back in the Digital world
 
Another Robo-Cop had appeared near Patamon's tree-hut, and found the pile of berries that he had just plucked for his up-coming digital-picnic with the other Digimon.
 
He added the contents to the berries, and then was gone just as Patamon looked up, “Huh?” he looked around. “Hmm… no one's here.”
 
He grabbed his berries, and even sampled a few of them, unaware of the drug that was on them, and went off to find the others.
 
Meanwhile
 
Davis was mopping up the floors as part of his detention for kicking a soccer-ball down the hallways again, and by this point he was getting close towards the rooms where Kari was washing the blackboards.
 
TK and Ken realized this was their chance to get them to go together. They casually walked past the classroom Kari was working in.
 
“Gee, already.” TK said playfully. “Gee, that was fast. I didn't think Davis would ever find a new girlfriend.”
 
“Yeah, but it's true… love at first sight if you ask me.” Ken said.
 
Kari suddenly stopped scrubbing in her tracks. “Davis has a new girlfriend?” she thought.
 
TK and Ken could see Kari's reaction. “I think she's going for it.” TK snickered silently. Then they moved further down the hallway to where Davis was working around the corner. They stayed where stayed were so he couldn't see them.
 
They even made their voices sound different so he wouldn't recognize them and figure out what they were up to.
 
“No, way… Kari Kaymiya's got a boyfriend? Didn't think she had it in her.”
 
Davis' head perked up. “Kari… with a guy?”
 
Ken TK could tell by the way the mopping had stopped, Davis was buying the act. They decided to crank it up a little more.
 
“Oh, but I thought he would go for that Davis guy.”
 
“Nah… she said he'd be the last guys she'd ever want to date.”
 
They heard a loud splash indicating Davis was really going for it now. Ken and TK snickered, and then left before getting caught. “I think we got them.”
 
“Ditto.”
 
 
Kari couldn't get those words out of her mind. Davis having a new girlfriend already and just not telling her, or the others. She angrily threw her sponge back into the water-bucket, and decided to go give Davis and talk or two.
 
 
Davis was still mopping the floor, when suddenly… “Davis!” Kari snapped sharply. “We need to talk.” Davis slapped his mop back into the bucket and turned to look at her with sharp eyes. “Yeah… I think we do.” he said to her. “Kari what is the matter with you? How could you do such a thing?”
 
Kari raised an eyebrow. “What you mean what I did? she snapped. “If anyone should be ashamed, it's you, Davis.”
 
“Me. Hey, I'm doing my detention, isn't that punishment enough.”
 
“Not for what you did. How could you not tell me.”
 
Davis was really starting to think Kari was losing it. “What do you mean… you saw what I did already, but what do you care. I'm the last guy you'd ever go out with. You said so yourself.”
 
Kari snuffed. “Yeah right… since when would I ever--” she stopped. “Wait… Davis…” she paused. “Are you saying… you want go out with me?”
 
Davis suddenly blushed and turned away. “Uh… well… what makes you think that?” he asked shyly, but that was all the proof Kari needed. “You do want to go out.”
 
There was a brief moment of silence, and then, “Well… I've just got one more classroom to go.” Kari said.
 
“And I've nearly finished my mopping.” Davis said, and since neither one of them really had anything that important to do for the rest of the day, they decided… why not go out.
 
Soon after words, Ken and TK could see them both leaving the school, practically walking side-by-side. Their little plan had worked, and they slapped each other a high-five. Then they went in their own separate directions.
 
TK got back to the ball-field just in time to meet up with Mina.
 
“Hey, Boo.” she said playfully to her boyfriend.
 
“Oh I'm sorry, pretty-woman… I was looking for my girlfriend.” TK joked, and Mina giggled.
 
TK then reached for his soda, and took a sip from it. He couldn't put his finger on it, but something about the Soda tasted different, and strange urges were starting to fill through his head.
 
“You okay, TK?” asked Mina.
 
TK shook his head clear. “Yeah… I'm okay.” he said, but in actuality, he was beginning to feel strange.
 
Meanwhile
 
All six of the Digimon enjoyed getting away from Gennai's palace for awhile. It was hard having to sit inside and have Izzy perform tests on them to see what else they were capable of… besides changing into Zords, and motorcycles.
 
Armadillamon was playing in the underground fort he made with Wormon, while Hawkmon was seeing how high he could climb up a tree without flying. So far, he could barely make it to the fist limb.
 
Veemon, Gatomon and Patamon however we're busy setting up the picnic. They had greens, fruits, nice drinking water, and some of Patamon's berries.
 
“Lunch time, you guys.” Gatomon called, and the others ran over in an instant. Then they began to eat the greens, the fruits, even guzzle down the water, but before they all started on the berries
 
They noticed Patamon had barley eaten anything and was looking rather upset about something. “Hey Patamon, are you okay?” asked Wormon. “You haven't eaten much.”
 
“Yeah, aren't ya hungry, boy?” added Armadillamon.
 
Patamon didn't respond. He just sat their with his back turned from everyone, and it was really starting to creep them out.
 
Veemon nervously approached Patamon, “Hey… is everything alright?” he asked kindly, and then suddenly, out of nowhere… Patamon whipped around and gave him a huge shove.
 
“Hey! What was that for?!”
 
Patamon, snarling like a bear told him. “What do you think it's for? It's for you hanging around Gatomon!!” and before Veemon could question him again, Patamon leapt on him and the two engaged in a huge fight.
 
“Stop it! Quit it you guys!” Gatomon snapped, but Patamon wouldn't stop going after Veemon. He was acting rather peculiar… sort of… jealous like.
 
While it was true Veemon did help Gatomon with most of the work before the picnic; Picking a spot. Helping her grab more food, and even convincing the others to join them. Still… this was nothing to be too jealous about… but it didn't explain why Patamon was acting the way he was.
 
Worse than that, every time and of them tried to break up the fight, Patamon would attack and shoo the others off. Gatomon decided they would need to get help and fast.
 
Meanwhile
 
Kari and Davis did go out a bit after their chores at school. They went to the arcade, grabbed a burger and shake, they even checked out a movie Kari had been wanting to see for a long time, and Davis offered to pay for everything.
 
Now they were just walking through the park on their way home. “Gee… you really do know how to show a girl a good time.” said Kari. “Are you sure this is the first time you've ever had a real date before?”
 
Davis laughed nervously and held his hand behind his head. “Well… eh-heh… yeah.”
 
Kari giggled a little at the way he was acting.
 
 
TK and Mina we're also on their way home, when they passed right by the park and TK could see Kari and Davis resting on a bench, and they looked like they were definitely going to… Kiss.
 
That finally triggered the jealousy-juice in his system.
 
They finally got to the building where Mina lived. “See you tomorrow TK.” She said, and she pursed her lips for a kiss, but TK rudely walked off. “TK? Hey where are you going?”
 
“I got something to do, all right?!” TK said very sharply, and he was gone leaving Mina all confused and shocked in him. “What's got him all worked up?”
 
Meanwhile
 
Kari and Davis kept starring into each others eyes, and Kari actually placed her hand on his lap, and those were all the signs needed, but before their lips touched, their D-Terminals went off.
 
“Awe, man. Not now.” Davis moaned.
 
Even Kari shared that thought with him. Nevertheless they answered the call.
 
“Patamon and Veemon are fighting. All rangers report to the palace at once.”
 
“Gennai”
 
Kari and Davis nearly jumped up at those words. “Patamon and Veemon?” Kari asked. “But why; how?”
 
“I don't know… but we better get going.” Davis said. They got up to head off for a computer, when suddenly they were confronted by “TK?”
 
“Oh, good.” Davis said “Listen we all have to get to Gennai's Palace.”
 
TK however had a very strange look on his face. He was scowling at Davis very fiercely, and was breathing heavily.
 
A chill ran up Kari's spine. “TK, are you okay?” Kari asked.
 
“Yeah, man… what's' wrong?” added Davis. He walked towards TK to confront him, but the moment he got close enough TK gave him a huge shove backwards.
 
“Whoa! Hey!” Davis grunted. “What did you do that for?!” he asked angrily. His answer was TK nearly jumping on him and trying to ram kicks into him, but Davis dodged it.
 
“TK!!” Kari snapped.
 
“What is wrong with you?!” added Davis.
 
“You know perfectly well, what. TK said angrily. “Date's over… now you get away from Kari now before I mash you up good!” and he charged at Davis again.
 
Davis didn't dare to hit him back but, but he did continue dodging his attacks. Kari was really getting upset at this, “Stop it, both of you!” but neither of them stopped even for a second.
 
Kari didn't know what to do. She couldn't just leave the boys like this, but Patamon and Veemon were still at it in the Digital world.
 
Worse than that, she just received another email saying that the two of them had changed into their Zord-forms and had taken their battle to the canyons.
 
“Oh my gosh!”
 
Meanwhile
 
Metal-Ex-Veemon, and Andro-Angemon were indeed having a fit day in the Digital world. Punching, and kicking each other; only Metal-Ex-Veemon didn't fight as hard as he kept on trying to talk to Andro-Angemon.
 
“Look… I don't know what all this is about, but we don't have to fight like this.”
 
“Oh yes we do… if this is the only thing that'll keep you away from Gatomon, and out of my wings…” he withdrew his staff out, “THEN SO BE IT!!” and the battle waged on.
 
Metal-Ex-Veemon didn't know what to do, and neither did the other four Digimon, whom at this moment were at Gennai's palace watching the battle.
 
 
CRASH!! They saw Andro-Angemon kick Metal-Ex-Veemon so hard that he flew backwards and crash had into the mountains.
 
“Ooh! That had to hurt.” Armadillamon said.
 
“I don't get it.” Yolei said. “Why would Anrdo-Angemon just lose it like this?”
 
Then suddenly, Izzy got another distress email from Kari, about Davis and TK. Everyone rushed over, and could see Davis and TK…
 
They had taken their fight to the Digital world, just a few sectors away from the Zords. They had morphed in to their Ranger suits, and were battling each other out.
 
Kari even mentioned in her email that it was TK who seemed to start all this, and that he had been acting very strangely.
 
“That sounds exactly like when Patamon started acting weird.” Gatomon said.
 
“But it still doesn't make sense.” Cody said. “Why would TK, and Patamon just suddenly to start acting all mean, and want to pick fights?”
 
Gennai came in with the answers. “Do not be fooled, rangers. TK and Andro-Angemon's behaviour is not made by natural causes. Observe…” and he directed their attention to the looking glass which showed them images of TK's soda, and Patamon's berries being drugged when they weren't watching.
 
“The Professor has developed a Jealousy-Mixture. A few small doses ingested into either human or Digimon alike, can cause an outbreak of abnormal furry and rage.”
 
Everyone had sneaky feeling that Lockhart had to be behind this. “But what do we do to make them stop?” asked Yolei.
 
“I agree with, Yolei.” said Hawkmon. “In case anyone hasn't noticed… our friends are still at each other's throats!”
 
Izzy had been studying the contents of the drug. “Hmm… a really weird mixture.” he said. “But I think we just may be able to make an antidote.”
 
Everyone's faces lit up. “Well then lets get a move on!” Gatomon said.
 
“I'll contact Kari, and get her to come here.” Ken said. “We have to hurry though… who knows how long the others can hold.”
 
With that settled, they all began getting to work.
 
Meanwhile
 
TK and Davis had been travel-fighting so much that they finally met up with their zords in the mountains. Davis and Metal-Ex-Veemon really were looking beat up, but were still no where near ready to quit.
 
“Guys… listen… you got to stop this!” Davis cried.
 
“Yeah? Well, tell that to my sword!” TK snapped, and WHAMM Davis got bashed hard again, and he finally had had enough. “Okay… if that's the way you want it. I'll just have to push you right back.”
 
He leapt up onto Metal-Ex-Veemon. “Whatever's wrong with you two… we have enough of the way you're acting.” he said.
 
TK leapt up onto Andro-Angemon. “Can it!” he snapped. “You guys have one last chance.”
 
“Either you get away from the girls or we Break you away from them.” added Andro-Angemon.
 
Now Davis and TK were more than convinced this was not their regular anger talking. They had to be under a spell. “The real TK, and partner would never act this way.” Davis snapped. “Remember… go easy on them. They aren't themselves.”
 
Metal-Ex-Veemon nodded, and the battle continued.
 
Meanwhile
 
Lockhart was watching the battle on his spy-screen. He looked most entertained. “Now this is what I like. A good old fashioned dog fight. Oh-ho… this really takes me back.”
 
He remember his old days in the war. He would kill solders with all sorts of weapons, and even choke a few to death with his bare hands. True one of the battles cost him his left eye, but as bad as it was, it still served him as a memorial of his former victories.
 
“Sir? Oh, Sir?” Black-Gatomon snapped him out of his trance. “Begging your pardon, Sir, but I just thought you'd like to know; sensors have received word that the other Rangers are preparing to use an antidote on your Jealousy-Juice.
 
Lockhart's eyes narrowed. “Are they now?” he asked deeply. “Well, I must say, they really are sneaky… but then again I am sneakier. Hmm, mm, mm.” he reached over and pressed a switch with a Robo-Cop's picture on it.
 
Meanwhile
 
The other Rangers had completed the antidote, and all they had to do was soak it onto TK and Andro-Angemon, and that wasn't going to be easy, not while they were still battling.
 
“Good luck, guys.” Ken said. “and remember, you only have one shot at this.”
 
“Don't worry, Ken. We'll be just fine.” Cody said.
 
“Let's do it, guys.” Yolei said.
 
“LET'S GO… DIGITAL!” they morphed, took their Digimon, and were gone.
 
 
They arrived on the battle scene where Metal-Ex-Veemon swiped his tail at Andro-Angemon; sending him rolling down the slope, but he quickly recovered, and “ANDRO-STAFF!!” countered with his own fire power.
 
The two Zords had been battling it out for a while, and they both fell over all tired and beat; CRASH!! Poor TK and Davis got rocked about in their cockpits.
 
“WHOA!!”
 
“AA-AAH!!”
 
The zords were out of power, and they changed back into Veemon and Patamon. Davis and TK also de-morphed back into their street clothes; all four of them looking exhausted.
 
The other rangers could see them. “Look, there they are.” cried Kari. “Thank goodness they stopped fighting.”
 
They kept on running towards them, but were suddenly face-to-face with the Robo-Cops. “Guess Lockhart doesn't want us to get the Antidote through.” Cody said.
 
Indeed they didn't as the cops began to gang up on the rangers trying to block them from getting through.. “Come on… let's get them.” Yolei snapped. The other nodded, and went for it.
 
Cody, Yolei, and the other Digimon battled with the Robo-Cops, while it was Kari's job was to get the antidote to TK and Patamon before they recovered and resumed attacking Davis and Veemon again, but getting through was no easy task.
 
Kari looked behind her. “I've got two coming on my tail.” she cried.
 
“Hang on, Kari!” cried Cody. He rushed over and blasted the two cops down with his sword. “Run! Keep going!”
 
Yolei and the other Digimon began to attack the remaining cops. True the Digimon couldn't defeat the Robos, but they could in fact slow them down so as not to reach Kari.
 
Kari was just about there when suddenly, the very last Robo-Cop grabbed her. “AAH!!” as down she went. “OOF!!”
 
She was then struggling to keep the antidote safely tucked away in it's vile without the Robo taking it and destroying it. “No! Get off me!”
 
The others could see her struggling, but they couldn't reach her. “There's too many of them!!”
 
“We need Davis and TK!!”
 
Davis, wearily struggled to wake up. “Ow… my head.” he moaned. Suddenly, everything started to get clear, and he could see everything ahead, including. “Kari!” he snapped at the Robo-Cop. “You're hurting Kari…All right…” he began to charge. “NOW… IT'S… PERSONAL!! AYAAAAAH!!”
 
His inner strength seemed to come back without warning, and he whammed the Robo right off her. “Davis!” Kari cried as she got up.
 
More Robos began to charge at Davis, and he didn't even morph as he had to wait for things to recharge a little. “Kari… go!!” he cried to her. “Go help TK and Patamon.”
 
Kari nodded, and she rushed all the way over to the boys without being held up once. “TK… Patamon!” she called to them. The boys were barley awake, and no sooner had they come to were they given the antidote.
 
They gagged at how awful it tasted, and suddenly they remembered everything. How they began to turn mean. How they started a fight with their friends over the wrong things.
 
They both really felt ashamed with what they did.
 
Meanwhile… Cody and Yolei actually managed to get the Robo-Cops under control. “Right now, on three!” Yolei cried.
 
“THREE!!” Cody snapped, and they both powered their swords up to full and blasted those cops into the scraps. They were gone!
 
Cody and Yolei slapped each other high-fives. Then powered down their suits, and ran over to Kari, who had also powered down.
 
“How are they doing?” asked Gatomon.
 
“They seem a little tired, but… they'll be okay.” Kari said
 
Davis, and Veemon, who had woken up approached TK and Patamon. “Hey, you two okay?” Veemon asked.
 
Patamon shook himself awake. “Yeah… I guess so.” he said all groggily.
 
TK rubbed his eyes, and then looked up at Davis. “Hey, look… I'm really sorry.” he said with honesty in his eyes. “How could we have let this happen?”
 
Davis simply smiled. “Hey… it wasn't your fault.” he said “You weren't yourself. I knew you and Patamon would never want to do anything like this. Hey, if anyone would do it, it's me.”
 
Patamon and TK laughed slightly. Then Davis reached out his hand to help TK up. “Friends?”
 
TK smiled and took his hand “Friends.”
 
Patamon and Veemon extended the same gestures.
 
Kari folded her hands and wiped a tear from her eye. So did Yolei, and Cody and the others… well… they just smiled.
 
Meanwhile
 
Lockhart's teeth were showing, but he wasn't smiling. “No! Not again!” he growled fiercely. “I can't even get them to destroy each other! This is simply MADNESS!!”
 
Black-Gatomon just covered her head with her pillow and went back to sleep.
 
The next day
 
TK was on the phone with Mina to make amends for how he treated her the other day, “I hope you're not going to dump me or anything.” he said shyly.
 
Mina giggled over the other line “You can't get rid of me that easy, TK.” she said. Besides… Your not like other guys I met who just like me for who I am, instead of a miniskirt.
 
“Besides… I really like the way you smell.”
 
TK smiled. “Heh… so I guess we're cool then?” he asked.
 
“Totally… see ya tomorrow… Boo.”
 
“Bye, bye… Babe.”
 
Meanwhile
 
Yolei, and Ken, were out with Davis and Kari. Not really on a date, but just hanging out as friends. “So it was you and TK who set us up all along?” Kari asked. “Well you sure had me fooled.”
 
“Nah… not me. I was onto them all along.” Davis said, acting all smooth.
 
“Sure Davis, whatever.” Yolei sighed in sarcasm.
 
Nevertheless, Kari and Davis decided to wait a bit until they tried going out again… like maybe until Lockhart was beaten. Then maybe… just maybe… they'd try again.
 
(Well the fire's burning brightly now… all it needs is a good blast of gas. Heh-heh-heh!)
