Six long years wow... has it really been that long? Oh Leomon I'll always miss you. She thought sadly.

Jeri was now sixteen and missed her partner as badly as ever.

It was a beautiful summer afternoon and she was sitting in her bedroom thinking.

Suddenly their was a knock on her door.

"Come on in!" Jeri said brightly.

The door opened, Rika Nonaka one of her best friends along with her partner Renamon stood in the doorway.

A year ago Takato had discovered that a portal to the digital world still existed in Gulimon's old hide out in the park.

With some help from one of their old allies Mr Mizuno nearly all of her friend's Digimon partner's were able to return to the real world.

All of them expect mine. Jeri again thought sadly.

She took a deep breath.

One month after the tamer's digimon came back she and Takato finally began dating.

Jeri had become a much more happier person over the six years since the D-reaper's destruction.

With the help of a relationship with Takato and a deep friendship with Rika she had been able to shake her depressive state and had become a much more happier person.

Jeri still missed Leomon and had nightmares of the day she lost him but they were becoming less frequent since she had started a relationship with Takato.

She also had vivid emotional dreams where Leomon was never destroyed.

Those were the dreams that haunted her the most.

Jeri had developed a much deeper relationship with her father step mother and step brother.

Her family was closer than they had ever been this made her extremely happy as well.

Jeri smiled she got up form the floor where she was sitting.

She threw her arms around Rika and said happily "Rika, Renamon it's so nice to see you both!"

Rika smiled she softly patted Jeri's back after a second Jeri released her.

She took a breath and replied warmly "It's good to see you too, my grandma is throwing a dinner party tonight at nine o' clock and I wanted to see if you could come."

Jeri considered for a second she then asked curiously "Is it formal?"

Rika replied nonchalantly "Nope just a casual thing."

Renamon said warmly "It's good to see you Jeri."

Jeri nodded cheerfully "You too Renamon."

She replied thoughtfully "I'll have to ask my dad of course but I'm sure I can come."

Rika smiled and said happily "Great I can't wait to see you there!"

Suddenly a beeping sound emitted form Rika's belt.

Rika pulled out her blue digivice she looked at it worriedly.

She then whipped around to face her partner and said urgently "Oh great another bio-emerging, it's in the park again, sorry Jeri we've got to go,see you tonight,come on Renamon!"

Renamon started to disappear she replied regretfully "I'm sorry Jeri."

Jeri nodded understandably and said "It's okay Renamon go on."

Renamon nodded and fully disappeared.

Jeri exhaled. She had gotten used to her friend's going to the park to defeat bio-emerging digimon.

It was a side effect form Mr Mizuno having opened the portal in the hide out he couldn't close it and had been trying too for months after.

Through luckily for her friends and the town the digimon that bio-emerged came only at night and they weren't that difficult to defeat.

Knowing that all of her friends including Takato would be at the park helping to defeat the new digimon Jeri decided to go downstairs and ask her father if she could go to Rika's dinner party.

Her father was typing a email on his laptop. Jeri waited until he was finished.

She then cleared her throat and said hopefully "Dad, rika is having a dinner party tonight at her house at nine and I was wondering if I could go?"

Tadashi smiled at his daughter and said warmly "Sure that sound's like a good idea Jeri, your Mom, Masahiko and I are going to see a play in the city would you like us to pick you up or can you walk home?"

Jeri replied "Takato will walk me home dad, I'll be fine, have fun tonight and I'll see you tomorrow okay?"

Tadashi smiled and said reverently "You too, well I've got to get ready, don't stay out too late, see you tomorrow kiddo."

He patted Jeri on the head through not patronizingly and went upstairs to change.

Jeri too went upstairs to change.

It was nearly eight thirty-five and even through Rika said the dinner was going to be casual Jeri wanted to dress up anyway.

After she had showered Jeri started to get dressed.

She put on a silk emerald green dress it had a high lace neck and short lace sleeves, she then brushed her hair. Jeri slid on a emerald green satin head band.

She then slipped on pale yellow sandals.

Jeri checked the time it was eight fifty-six.

She took out her cellphone and called Takato's number which she had on speed dial.

It rang once before Takato picked up.

He said softly "Hey Jer."

Jeri smiled and replied a tad worried "Hi Takato is everyone okay?"

Takato said reassuringly "Yep everybody's all right, the digimon was champion level but you wouldn't of known that the way it fought,it only took one of Gulimon's pyro sphere's to finish him off!"

Takato laughed with out humor trying to lighten the mood.

Put at ease by Takato's explanation Jeri laughed as well.

She said happily "Thank goodness everyone's all right. I'm ready for Rika's party, do you mind coming and picking me up?"

Takato said wryly "Actually I'm standing in front of your house."

Jeri smiled and said excitedly "I'll be right down!"

She grabbed her purse and checked her reflection in her mirror once more and skipped out side.

"Takato!" Jeri squealed happily

She ran to him and flung her arms his neck. Takato swept her off her feet and spun her around four times.

He set her down gently and said warmly "Wow, Jeri you look amazing!"

Takato kissed her on her lips. Jeri locked her arms around his neck and kissed him back.

Takto whispered tenderly "I love you."

Jeri smiled and said softly "I love you, I'm glad everyone's okay, especially you."

Jeri kissed him again.

Takato gently brushed a flyaway hair out of her face and said sweetly "Nothing could keep me away form you Jer."

Jeri smiled warmly and said "I know."

They broke apart and she said blushing "Thanks for your lovely compliment, where's Gulimon?"

Jeri so wrapped up in seeing Takato she just now noticed that his digimon partner and best friend Guilmon wasn't there.

Takato replied warmly "He's at Rika's playing with Terrerimon,and Caulmon."

Jeri slipped her right hand in Takato's and said happily "Let's go we are going to be late."

Takato smiled and replied exuberantly "All right onward we go!"

Jeri laughed.
