Ken sat on his throne with his well-thumbed notepad. Turning to a clean page, he wrote down the results in order.

TK - 65

Joe - 62

Matt - 56½

Iori - 49

Izzy - 47

Davis - 42½

Tai - 41½

"Well TK's won," Ken said out-loud.

He frowned.

"Oh goody."

The problem was he didn't LIKE TK. He might have won the competition but he was so damn annoying! There was no way he could stomach living with Takeru Takaishi!

Scowling, Ken looked at his list. He'd decided he'd take whoever was first. It was cheating to not take them.

He flipped back through his notes frowning.

"You know Wormmon," he said finally "I don't think that this scoring system has been entirely fair."

Wormmon wisely said nothing. Ken scowled.

"I don't think I've rated Joe right," he said "And I don't care what it says, I refuse to have TK as my pet! He's a pain!"

Wormmon sighed.

"Okay so TK is a no-no," Ken murmured "But Joe's not much better! I think I've cheated his results slightly...."

He started crossing things out as Wormmon watched.

"So that would leave Matt. But trying to dominate Matt would take all the fun out of him!" Ken said, scowling "The reason he did so well was because he was strong and bouncy! It won't be as fun!"

He scrawled something on the paper with a frown.

"So that leaves Iori. But....well, the problem is he thought I was Joe. So he might not be so fun....."

Ken scowled harder.

"So then it's Izzy, Davis and Tai. Well, Tai's hopeless because he doesn't like anal....of course I could always just tell him to sod off and do it anyway...but still....and Izzy....well he's clever. Might get on my nerves. But Davis is stupid. He might get on my nerves too...."

Ken threw his notepad across the room.

"Oh this is hopeless!" he snapped "The whole point of this was so I wouldn't have this bloody problem! Whoever won would win and I'd have a happy little pet! Instead I've got a bloody dilemma!"

He folded his arms frowning.

"You have to go home soon," Wormmon said timidly "You aren't allowed to stay much longer."

Ken frowned.

"Maybe I should seduce them again," he said "Maybe I should go out and re-seduce a couple of them. You know. A sort of re-test. They might not be as good the second time round. That might help!"

Wormmon said nothing. He didn't know what to say. He personally didn't see why Ken needed any sort of pet apart from him. But saying this to Ken would do no good at all. So Wormmon didn't.

"Oh I don't know!" Ken snapped "I'll just....I'll think about it!"

Getting up, he grabbed his notepad and stormed out. Wormmon looked after him with a sigh.

"Why's he so obsessed with a pet?" he muttered mournfully.

Ken sat sulking in the main room, listening to his parents talking about their own boring trivial things. Out of having nothing else to do, he actually started listening.

"...so he was shouting at her and it looked set to be a right argument! Thank Goodness our Ken doesn't want to go to these silly band concerts!"

"What band concert?" Ken asked.

"Oh the Teenage Dogs or something. I wasn't paying attention."

"The Teenage Wolves?" Ken said.

"Oh, that's them. You've heard of them?"

Ken nodded.

"When was this concert?" he asked, trying to sound completely casual.

"Oh in about two days I think. I wasn't really listening to that part."

"Oh," Ken said.

So the Teenage Wolves were having a concert were they? That was....interesting. Very interesting. Because Matt's friends were very likely to go. And it would give Ken a chance to think....

Ken grinned.

End of Part 9.
