Digidestined Heero - Chapter 5: Double Date Disaster

"How did I ever let you talk me into this, TK?" Blake shook her head
ruefully. It hadn't really been a hard sell. Silly girl. You just want
to see Davis, admit it. "It's not going to work, you know that,
right?"

TK just smiled. "Kari has a point. Maybe we can show him that he's
better off with you than without you. Knowing Davis it shouldn't be
too hard..."

"...And Liana agreed to this scheme of yours. That was almost too
much. She never liked matchmaking before..." Blake was rambling,
apparently incapable of rational thought. "...What do you think makes
this time is different, TK?"

"She just wants to see you happy, Blake. Relax, things will be fine."
She was really trying TK's patience... If Kari and Davis didn't get
here soon he wouldn't be accountable for his actions.

"It's called The Rose and Crown, Davis. They say that it's the most
romantic restaurant in the city." Kari was valiantly holding back
laughter. It had been so easy to get Davis to come, easier than she'd
expected.

"Guys are supposed to ask the girls on dates, Kari, not the other way
around." Davis was thinking for once. He knew Kari was more interested
in TK than him. And yet, here she was, asking him on a date.

"This time is special, Davis. Just wait and see." Kari giggled. She
couldn't help it.

"What happens if they get into trouble, Izzy?"

"Blake can handle herself; besides, TK and Kari are there to make sure
Davis stays out of trouble. I suspect we won't be hearing from them
until late. What shall we do in the meantime?"

"Let's have a picnic."

"A picnic? Where?"

"The Digital World, where we can take our minds off things. Besides,
Ken's there with all the digimon, and they can help us finish off all
those cookies I made this morning."

This is a disaster. Somebody remind me to tell Kari `I told you so'
when we get home tonight. Davis, now more than ever, thinks Kari likes
him over me, and she's not helping any! Dressed to kill and outshining
Blake even in her worst moments. TK's thoughts were in turmoil. He
gave yet another sigh and glanced yet again at the choices on the
menu. He knew what he wanted already, but trust Kari to take an hour
to decide. Odd. Blake hasn't even looked at the menu. I wonder if
she's going to follow one of our choices because she doesn't know the
food.

At that moment the waitress came over. Kari ordered first, then TK and
Davis. Blake took a shy look around the table and then began reciting
what she wanted, almost as if she'd done this a hundred times already.
That, or had been to this restaurant before.

As they waited for their food they managed to maintain a strained
conversation. Both TK and Kari would try to get Blake or Davis to
address each other, but neither co-operated very well.

Poor TK. He's been such a sport about this... Kari was trying to keep
from thinking about the look Davis kept throwing across the table at
her. By now, had things gone according to plan, those looks should be
directed toward Blake. What a disaster. TK's got every right to tell
me `I told you so' when this is over.

The waitress arrived then with the food, and with everyone distracted
Kari acted. She tapped Blake's foot with her own to gain the girl's
attention. Catching Blake's eye and sliding her own toward Davis, she
then tapped her foot again. Blake's eyes widened as she caught Kari's
meaning. Kari smiled and removed her shoe from her foot. She could
tell by Blake's movements that the girl had done the same. Play time.

"I'm glad you suggested this, Reliana. It was a lot more fun then I'd
have thought." Izzy was reclining on a picnic blanket basking in the
sunshine, eyes half closed in contentment.

"Baby digimon are always amusing, and watching them try to play soccer
is even more so. I'm glad they liked the cookies." Reliana was
half-laying across Izzy's torso. She turned so she could read his
facial expressions. "I just hope Elecmon doesn't get mad at us for
giving his babies so much sugar."

"Don't worry about it Liana. He won't. And besides, what else could
happen today?"
