CHAPTER ONE

Kari was no longer the young child of light she once was, she was almost a full-grown woman, she was 22, she was a college graduate and a teacher college graduate as well... and she had the most wonderful boyfriend.

No, it wasn't TK, all though she did date him back in high school, and everyone thought it would go far, it just didn't work out. They both broke it off and tried going out with other people.

After a couple of other gentlemen, Kari decided to try a relationship with Davis, the boy who had a crush on her for...who knows how long? and that was when Kari began to realize just how sweet and compassionate Davis really could be.

Sometime after Maylo-Myotismon was vanquished forever, everyone decided to go their seperate ways.

See, like Kari, who always had a dream about becoming a preschool teacher, Davis had always wanted to open up his very own Noodle-cart. "I want to kick it up a notch. I want to make the finest noodles on the planet."

So after he learned cook proporly, he got himself a part-time job as a ramen-man's assistant. Davis was expected to do good, but he was phenomenal. His noodles tasted even better than what his boss usually made.

The money began piling up, and Davis got bonuses galore on his very first day. Then after a few weeks, he was promoted to Assistant-Manager of the cart. A few months his boss decided to retire, and give Davis full and complete ownership of the cart.

A couple years later, after so many people wanted to follow in Davis' footsteps, that Davis had become the owner of a chain of Noodle-carts in all of Japan. His hard work was finally paying off.

Davis had made alot... really, ALOT of money. So much, that he decided not to be greedy with it. He did give some portions of the money for himself. He was finally able to get his own apartment, pay for the rent and everything.

He also donated to the poor, to charites, even to animal shelters, but what made him really feel wonderufl about himself, was paying more than half the profits with Kari's parents to send Kari off to college so she could gain the credits she needed to become a teacher.

Davis of course didn;t have to go to college, as he was already famous enough. The most powerful Digi-destined in the world, and a very sucessful cart owner. Why, he even got to have his face put on magazines all over.

But, every now and then he did visit Kari at college, or when she came home for a while. Davis really missed her when she went away. So much, that Davis wanted to make sure that every date they went on, and all the time they spent together was nice and romantic.

Kari sometimes insisted that Davis not go to all the trouble just for her, but Davis still always had a little obnoxiousness in him. To him, Kari made all his dreams come true just by staying with him.

See... Davis loved Kari so much, that before they even started dating Davis did try a few girls, but no matter what happened Davis would always see Kari's face on the girl, and his mind would always remain focussed on her.

So that's when he realized that he could never learn to love another girl. Kari was his whole world? No, she was his entire Universe. His dream goddess, his insipration. You take away her, and Davis may just kill himself.

Without Kari in his life, Davis began to realize as if for the first time just how lonely he really was or could be. All that power as a Digi-Destined, and all the fame and glory he was gaining from his buisness, what was the point of it all with no one special in his life to share it with him?

Sometimes, Davis even sang a rather sorrowful song as he pushed and pulled his carts up the lonely streets.

(Davis)

The happiness of being me

is not what it's cracked up to be.

It's lonely being ONE... of a kind!

-With all the known variety

The fame that destiny gave to me

It's lonely being ONE... of a kind...

Kari made his dream of all dreams become a reality, and Davis would be damned if he wasn't willing to repay Kari in the most magical ways a guy could for his girlfriend.

"Davis, you spoil me." Kari said as she walked with him hand-in-hand.

Davis, who was 23, just kept on a brave face,"My job is to get you what you want." he said. "If you want to become a preschool teacher, I will help you become a preschool teacher." He went on. "You want me to save the world; I'll save it all right."

Kari stoped so suddenly in her tracks, pulled Davis towards her, and kissed him softly. Davis sloy laid his hand in her brown hair, which now was longer and drifting playfully across Kari's shoulder.

Not like Davis' hair, which he had cut so it was no longer spikey, but almost as plain as an every ordinary type of guy, and it even made him look quite handsome too.

When they separated she looked him deep in the eyes "I just want you to hurt yourself for me, that's all." she said. Davis smiled down at her. "I'll try... but this I can;t promise." he said. She giggled, and they kissed again.

Davis enjoyed it when he and Kari were together. To him, when they kissed, it was like Heaven and Earth were coming together to make peace. For five years they had been dating now, and each time more romantic than the last.

Davis decided there was more questioning himself. He had to do something that would either make him the happiest man in the world, or cast him into misery forever. He had to pop her the question.

Kari was coming home for good the next day, and Davis took Kari out for really big date to celebrate. They went to see a romantic play, followed by a romantic dinner for two and dancing, took a stroll through park, and finally, they rode to the top of the tallest building in town.

The view was just breathtaking. The soft roaming hills, and buildings as far as the eye could see, the stars were shining like crystals in the night sky, and the moon was full and bright.

"Oh Davis!" said Kari resting her head on Davis' shoulder.

"Y-y-yeah... it sure is." Davis said with a bit of shyness in his voice.

Kari noticed that Davis had been acting rather peculiar all night. Much more quieter than usual. His fingers had hardly stopped twiddling, and every now and then she noticed Davis was feeling inside the pocket on his tuxedo as if something special was inside it.

"Davis, are you alright?" she asked. Davis just held her hands together, and looked right into her eyes, "Kari... there's something I want to know." he sked shyly. He paused and drew in a deep breath. "Are you... happy with me?"

Kari almost seemed shocked at that question. "Why do you ask?" she asked.

"I just really want to know." replied Davis.

"Davis, of course I'm happy with you." she answered. "You've changed alot since we first met."

Kari remembered her very first class ever with Davis, it was in Grade-one. Davis and Kari were walked inot class by their mothers and both of them feeling rather shy, but when Kari came into the class room she could over-hear Davis saying.

"Mommy... is that an Angel?"

From that moment on, that was where Davis began being nice to Kari. Offering him half his cookies. Steping in front of her when big kids pushed her around. Kari once even helped Davis when he feel off the Monkey-Bars in the playground.

Kari was also how Davis met Tai, and began idolizing him and wanting to be just like him. Which is then that he got his first pair of goggles, and got him interested in soccer.

When Davis became a Digi-Destined, he mastered some arts that even Tai himself didn't have in him.

Always going forward when thigns seemed hopeless. Whenever there was a task that couldn;t be done, Davis did it himself. If it wasn;t for him, they all could have been destroyed when Ken was still the Digimon-Kaizer.

"Davis... you are a hero." said Kari. "You taught us to believe in our dreams, and never to give up, no matter how hopless they seemed, and you've been so wonderful to me for as long as I can remember. Davis, I don;t think there's anyone else out there who can make me as happy as you do."

Davis felt touched. All his life he had been waiting for her to say that, and that was enough proof for him. It was Now or Never.

"Why did you want to know?" she asked.

Davis held both her hands together. "Kari, there's something I want to ask you." he said. "I love too much to be away from you anymore, and I want to stay by your side more than anything."

"What I'm trying to say is..." he said as he got down on one knee, pulled out a ring box form his tuxedo. Then he opened the little box, revealing a solid gold ring, with a large diamond on top. Kari gasped as teasr began to fall from her eyes.

"Hikari Yagami Kamiya. My one and only true love…" Davis said. "Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Kari's heart beat wildly. "Davis." she said., "You... you want to marry me?"

Davis nodded, "Yes." he said, "It would mean so much to me."He stood up, and singed the other half of his song so beautifually, you could actually hear the music in the air.

(Davis)

-I'd like, to be... like everyone I see.

Not special... just an ordinarry guy.

Who falls in love, and leads the simple life

At least, I'd like to have the chance to try.

-The happiness of being me

is not what it's cracked up to be.

It's lonely being ONE... of a kind!

It's lonely... being

ONE... of a kind!

Kari could tell by the sadness of his words he really loved her, and really wanted to be with her. She already new what her asnwer was. "Oh, Davis... Yes! I'll marry you." she said with her cheeks all red.

Davis had tears in his eyes now, and held her hands together. "Thank you, Kari." he cried, "You've made me so happy!"

He took the ring from the box, and gently slid it onto Kari's finger. Would you believe it, perfect fit? The moonlight made the diamond on the ring shine wildly. She threw her arms around his neck, and they kissed as though they never wanted to let go of each other.

"Thanks Kari." Davis said in his thoughts. "I promise... I will make you the happiest woman in the world."
