Thank you, urban dream, Tiamat, and InsaneImpmon. Urban, you and I have similar preferences as far as lemons go. ^_^
This is Scene 3, Take 2. It's short, but somewhat engrossing. Or so I think.

"We're HERE!" Kari crowed, raising her clenched fists as high as her arms would stretch, grinning widely, her eyes shut tightly with glee. "We're here we're here we're HERE!" She jumped up and down next to Tai, who looked on with a smile.
*I haven't seen her this happy since...* he paused as something sour filled his soul. It may have been regret and remembrance, but he was unfamiliar with either one and couldn't really tell. *...since she was last with Gatomon. In fact...* Tai rubbed the tips of fingers against one another, thinking. *In fact, I don't think she's been herself for the last few weeks. She's always sitting on her bed and staring off into space nowadays. I wonder what's gotten into her..."
*Aren't* you *sad that you no longer have Agumon at your side?* a rather acidic voice inquired from just beyond his frontal lobe. *Don't* you *miss the one being in the universe who may have truly been destined to be your friend, from here to eternity? Haven't* you *been more than a little somber these past two months? Or have you been too busy jerking off to notice?*
*Shut up, brain*. A scowl flickered in and out of existence on Tai's face. He was more than a little bit irritated at the unrelenting Voice of Inner Tai right now, but he didn't feel like that gave him the right to ruin Kari's first truly happy day in months. He pushed the Voice into a dusty corner of his mind (where it couldn't be seen behind large boxes marked "7th Birthday" and "The Time That Cat Peed On Me In Front Of My Friends") and just soaked in Kari's undiluted happiness. It didn't take long for a genuine smile to grow on his face.
Kari looked up at her big brother, who looked back, grinning.
"Shall we?" Tai said, gesturing at the Park with both hands. "Ladies first, of course."
Kari giggled. "Of course. But only if you hold my hand again." She held it out, open and inviting.
Tai held her hand, and they entered Kichigaisakka Park.

Please Note: next scene may be delayed due to lack of information on the Japanese equivalent of a carnival. If anyone can give me any information about such events. it would be greatly appreciated. My e-mail is alangrantzippy@yahoo.com
