37Disclaimer: I don't put this enough. I do not own Digimon or any of its characters. I do not own the book names I use in the chapter, either.
A.N: Okay! Many people have been hoping for this fic. I am so so SO very sorry I did not post it right away. As you probably know, this is the sequel to my last Digimon story "As Simple As A Date Can Be". Please be sure to read that story first to fully be able to get the main idea of what this story is like.
This story is taking place after a few more dates. And of course, I have to thank Review Lord for once again inspiring me. There probably would not even be a sequel without your idea! (Everyone applauds)
Please, everyone who is now reading this story, there is one main thing: Have fun! That is solely what this story is for! Enjoy chapter one...
Dating Isn't Always Simple
The stars shone in the night sky. Most were hardly visible due to the city lights, but some still shone through. It had been two weeks and three dates later than their first, and Kari just said her goodnight to TK. She stepped inside her apartment and shut the door behind her. Letting a out a blissful sigh, she began to reminisce the date her and the blonde digi-destined had just gone on. To her, this was one of the best yet!
The brunette fourteen year old pulled off her shoes and placed them with the rest of the family shoes. Next, she reached over he shoulder and pulled a pair of roller skates out of her pink backpack.
"Roller skating was a great idea! It was so much fun!" Kari exclaimed while placing the skates next to the shoes on the floor. "I just hope I'll learn how to roller blade a little better."
She quickly thought about when she was skating in the roller rink. Roller blading was not as hard as she thought. Kari was actually doing pretty well. It was only when this high-school girl, who was skating completely out of control and backwards, knocked into her and made her fall. Kari missed what happened to the girl, but TK had suspected that she collided into the rink walls.
"She should really get some lessons," Kari mumbled aloud to herself. "I'm just happy TK was there to catch me."
The clock in the living room struck nine and chimed quietly. Then she remembered that she had to finish a book report. It was Saturday night, and the project was due on Monday. Kari had all day Sunday, but she hadn't even finished the book yet! Hustling down the hall, she slowed and tiptoed outside of Tai's door. 'I don't want to wake him up.'
After Kari shut her bedroom door and grabbed her book, a muffled sound came from outside her apartment door.
"Oww," sounded a pained male voice.
"What are you 'Oww'ing about?" hissed a female voice.
The brown haired boy laughed a little. "Sorry Sora. I didn't know." Tai Kamiya pulled out a key and discreetly opened the outer door.
The two teens stepped inside. "Yeah sure, 'you didn't know'. I was on roller blades! Sheesh. Next time you want to knock one of us into Kari, you do it!"
Sora huffed and walked over to the living room couch where she plopped down. After crashing into the roller rink wall, Sora decided she'd never roller blade again. Tai was in the kitchen and went over to the fridge.
"Well, the book had said to use a friend... Want a soda?"He tried to change the subject. While making a disgruntled face, Sora nodded to Tai.
'I hate that 'Older Brother Spy Kit Hand Book'.' Sora's thoughts were mainly focused on that book until her achy muscles began to hurt again. 'I hate roller skating.'
While tossing a can of Mountain Dew over to where Sora was seated, Tai walked over to the hallway. "I'll be right back. I am going to check on Kari." He received a small 'mmhmm' as his answer from the redhead.
Tai stepped softly down the vestibule. He reached the second to last door and patted slightly against it. The older Kamiya child waited as he heard shuffling.
Kari opened the door and greeted her older brother with a happy smile. 'A little too happy,' flashed through Tai's overly protective brother thoughts.
"Did I wake you? I'm sorry, Tai," Kari said apologetically. Tai shakes his head.
"No. I just got in." Kari's expression to Tai's answer was pure confusion.
"I thought you said you couldn't leave the house tonight?" She leaned sightly on the door frame. "You had said something about a science experiment due on Mon-"
The young brunette could not even finish her sentence as Tai dashed off back down the hall. He had completely forgotten about his experiment!
"Sora!" came his cry. The auburn haired girl turned her head a little to be able to see the boy who was calling her. "I need your help! My science project! No No No! I forgot! Help... please?"
Somehow, the older boy had made his way to in front of his best friend and fell to his knees. Sora looked down at him. How could he be so dumb? That project counted for 75 percent of the grade!
As the two seventeen year olds argued over a concept known as 'Responsibility', Kari went back into her room.
She hopped onto her purple sheeted bed and resumed her reading of My Friend Flicka.
"This is so sad..." she mumbled after reading a few lines. It was the last page; page 346. Just as she began the final paragraph, a phone call interrupted the silence.
Reluctantly, Kari placed her book back down. This had better be important. The phone was rested on her night stand so she barely moved to pick it up.
"Hello. Kamiya residence. Kari speaking," she said in her sweet tone. An annoyed tone was heard over the other end.
"Kari, this is so boring!" It was her boyfriend's voice. Kari could not help but giggle. She had a feeling of what he was talking about. "This book is so boring! I don't even understand half of it!"
"Oh, TK," Kari said in a comforting way. She leaned onto one of her pillows. "Ivanhoe can't be that bad. What page are you on?"
Gatomon, who had been sleeping over near the window, bounded up and into Kari's lap. She yawned as Kari petted her. Tai's little sister waited patiently for her fellow digi-destined to respond.
TK moaned in aggravation. "I'm on page 31... out of 531! I have 500 more boring pages to read by Monday!" Kari sighed. Why had he even chosen to read that book, then?
"Well, TK, I have to go and start my rough draft for the essay. I'll talk to you later," said Kari. Just as she was about to hang up the receiver, TK piped up.
"Wait! Uh, I was wondering if you were up for another date... something a little safer than roller skating." Both of them laughed at that. Kari nodded even though she knew the blonde teen could not see it.
"What do you have in mind, TK my darling?" Kari stretched out the pet name playfully. TK chuckled.
He then straightened his composure. "Well, you know... how there's the... carnival coming up on Friday?" Kari smiled already knowing what her answer would be. "Do you... um.. Want to go with me?"
Though she couldn't see it, TK held an adorable toothy smile when Kari answered with a "yes". Then they both said their goodbyes and Kari wished TK luck with his book. They hung up and Kari replaced her pink phone into its holder.
"You two are so cute," Gatomon's voice mumbled cutely. Blushing a tad, Kari nodded. When her Digimon's right, she can't disagree.
Thud. Thump. Boom!
Kari looked towards her door where the sounds had emitted from. "What was that?" Jumping to her feet with Gatomon at her heels, the two rushed to the door. Then the two ran down to the living room.
Kari gasped.
The once clean room was covered in a gooey blue substance. While making a disgusted face, the fourteen year old looked around. She heard quarreling over in the kitchen area.
"I told you not to add the acid until the formula settled!" Sora yelled, anger apparent in her voice. Her friend, dressed in a makeshift white lab coat, stood next to her.
"Um, sorry?"
Slowly stepping over to the two, as to be sure not to touch the substance, Kari put her hands on her hips. "Tai! You are very lucky mom and dad are away on vacation right now. Otherwise, you would be in a lot of trouble." Her harsh face softened. It was to hard to stay mad at her brother.
"Don't worry, we'll clean it up," Tai pointed to his best friend as he spoke to his little sister.
"We?" echoed Sora while raising an eyebrow and glancing at Tai. He nodded, half in courage and half in fear.
Kari shook her head from side to side. This was typical. "Well, on a lighter note, since mom and dad come back Friday, I want you to know that I have another date with TK. I'll be back a little bit later because we are going to the carnival." With that as her ending statement, Kari turned and strolled gleefully back to her room.
She had left too soon to see Sora drop the test-tube in her hand and Tai nearly choke on his own shock. An audible groan escaped from Sora.
"Tai," she said while bending down the get the now broken test-tube. "A carnival? I do not think we can handle this. Sure, the dinner and park date was fairly easy. So were the movie and roller skating ones... But a carnival?"
Putting a hand through his brown spiky hair, Tai said nothing. He already had a grande plan forming in his head. 'Oh... we can handle this. We'll just need some reinforcements... Maybe some of this sticky blue stuff too.'
A.N: Well. There you go. Chapter one is short but complete. It wasn't that good, but it's chapter one so it will get funnier and more interesting in future chapters. I promise!
Tell me what you thought about this in a review. I'm always open to suggestions and ideas, too! They come in handy more than often. (Smiles innocently to audience)
Well, so long until the next chapter!
