Takato was having a day like every other, except for the fact that he kept thinking about what had happened the day before with Jeri.

He was shocked when Jeri said she wanted to meet Guilmon. She had seen him, and wasn't scared like Kenta and Kazu had been...

"I have to get my mind back on my homework." Takato said aloud as he got back to his math problems. He only had about an hour before he just had to leave for school before he'd be late.

"Takato," his mom called up to him, "you have a phone call. Don't be too long."

"Coming." Takato said as he raced down the stairs. He expected that it was Kazu saying that he had another "lame card" to give him or something like that.

"Hey." He said into the receiver.

"Is that how you always answer the phone?" Came the voice on the other end.

"J-Jeri?" Takato stammered. He could feel himself blushing. "Why are you calling me?"

"I want to see him again."

"Guilmon?"

"Yeah. Is there anyway I can see him before school?"

"Uh, I guess so."

"Great. I'll be at your house in ten minutes."

The phone clicked off after that.

"Great." Takato said to himself. "I'd better get some bread for Guilmon before she gets here."

"Who was on the phone?" Takato's dad asked as he came in the shop.

"It was only Jeri. She wanted to meet me before school to, uh, talk about Digimon." He said as he stuffed some old bread into his backpack.

"You mean there are girls that like that stuff?" His dad asked as he left the room to get some more flour.

"Yeah, and she's not the only one. I have another friend who's a girl named Rika that likes them too. Well I'd better go. See ya after school." Takato said as he rushed out the door to meet Jeri.

"I didn't say that as an offence, Takato. Takato?" Takato's dad said, coming back in just after he left.

They walked to the park silently. Takato didn't say anything in fear that he'd make a fool of himself. Jeri didn't say anything because she was too busy looking at Takato.

They soon got to Guilmon's "house".

"Hi, Jeri. Did you bring me bread?" Guilmon responded.

"Yeah, I brought you a whole bunch." Takato said dumping all the bread, and his books, out of his backpack. "Oh, no! I forgot my math homework. Mrs. Asagi is going to kill me. I'll be right back." He said as he raced home.

Jeri and Guilmon just stood there at first. Jeri giggled, breaking the silence.

"What is funny?" Guilmon asked.

"Oh, nothing. It's just that I think it's cute how he does that." Jeri said staring after the boy.

"Oh." Guilmon looked towards the fleeing boy, then at the girl sitting next to him. "What?" He curiously asked.

"Everything. He is so cute." She sighed.

Takato raced into his house and up to his room. He grabbed his book and the half done homework, then raced back to the park. As he neared where he'd left Guilmon and Jeri he heard talking, but it stopped as he neared.

"Takato, we'd better hurry on to school." Jeri said as she stood up and dusted off her skirt.

"Go on ahead. I have to put Guilmon back inside so no one else sees him." Takato said.

She walked on ahead as Takato shooed Guilmon into the shed.

"I'll see you after school, boy. Stay here." He said as he shut the gate.

"She likes you." Guilmon stated.

Takato started walking away when what Guilmon had said sunk in.

"What did you say?" Takato asked as he turned back around.

"Jeri likes you. She told me so."

"She...likes me?" Takato asked, blushing.

"Takato, hurry up." Jeri called back to him.

"Thanks for telling me. I'll see you after school." He said as he ran to catch up with her.

The End
