Birthday Wish

Part I: In You

Disclaimer: Don't own anything.

Davis glared. It was his birthday. One year after the defeat of MaloMyotismon and here was Davis Motomiya, moping and glaring at T.K. on his birthday. Everyone had thrown him a surprise birthday party. Well, from what he heard (through Sora and Tai), it was all Mimi and T.K.'s idea.

Hero-Boy had to use Davis' own birthday to make himself look good.

Ken, who was sat next to Davis as he glared at T.K., was silent. Davis had confided in Ken why he was glaring at T.K., or, if you would, showed up at the Ichijouji Residence in the middle of the night and began ranting about his jealousy that the neighbours woke up. They had not appreciated his yelling, or the language he used when they told to him to silence.

Ken's eyes darted over to where Davis was glaring and found T.K., Kari, Izzy and Cody laughing about something. Somewhere else, Jun and Momoe were teasing Joe about something that made him blush. Yolei and Mimi were having an animated chat about their favourite dress. Tai, Sora and Matt were chatting about something else.

DemiVeemon, Poromon, Upamon and Patamon were raiding the food. Palmon, Biyomon and Gatomon were giggling about something. Agumon and Gabumon were having a staring contest, Tentomon the referee. Gomamon and Wormmon were also getting on quite well, much to Ken's pleasure.

They were all at the Motomiya residence. Mrs Motomiya appeared with a cake in hand, "Gather round everyone! It's time for cake!" The In-Training Digimon suddenly leapt up.

Families of the Digidestined had grown quite used to the Digimon present in the family and since the Digidestined had many gatherings at each others' houses, Digimon sightings were pretty common. Although, Ken's parents, Cody's grandfather, T.K.'s mom, Matt's Dad and Sora's mom already knew about the existence of Digimon for their own reasons.

DemiVeemon and Upamon, jumped up and down chanting, "Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake! Cake!"

"Make a wish Doofus!"

Davis glared at Jun briefly before staring down at the cake. What to wish for? He looked up at everyone, their faces remaining expectant. When Davis' eyes reached T.K., it all became clear. He knew what to wish for.

I wish I was perfect like T.K.

It was an hour after he blew his candles with the aforementioned wish that Davis realised his wish would not come true. He would never be anything like T.B. They were just too different.

Besides, it was a chocolate cake. What could it do? What magic does a birthday cake candles possess? Obviously none.

Davis Motomiya would always be Davis Motomiya, the goggle-headed soccer player disliked by everyone, including his only sister whilst T.K. Takaishi would remain T.K. Takaishi, the perfect blonde who could do no wrong and was loved by all, especially Kari.

Anybody could see that.

What with the way their eyes shone and their faces lit up upon sight of each other, the way they both always had something to talk about, the way they never fought, the way they always stood or sat close, the way everyone teased them about their closeness, it was obvious. Even Gatomon and Patamon went together! Patamon was Angemon and Gatomon, Angewomon. Hell, Nefertimon and Pegasusmon had an attack together! (Golden Noose.)

Even Azulongmon, the giant blue floating dragon Digimon had spoken of the bond between the Crests of Light and Hope! And you just can't argue with a giant blue floating dragon Digimon. I mean, it's a giant blue floating dragon Digimon!

T.K. turned on his side again. He'd been tossing and turning all night. The Digimon beside him stirred slightly, but very lightly. This was strange as T.K. had always found Patamon as a light sleeper. He sat up and stared.

The Digimon beside him wasn't Patamon, it was DemiVeemon!

Blinking, T.K. squinted and looked around at the room.

It wasn't his, it was Davis'!

T.K. got out, he had remembered falling asleep in his own bed, in his own room, with Patamon. So, what had happened?

As T.K. walked around, he caught sight of the mirror. The strangest thing had now finally happened. Instead of his own reflection staring at him, he was looking at Davis!

Then after ten minutes of pacing and quiet screaming, T.K. concluded that he was in Davis' body. But how had it happened?

It then hit T.K. If he was in Davis' body, then Davis would be in his. Maybe Davis knew what had happened!

As T.K. rummaged through the catastrophe known as Davis' room to find something to wear, as he could not go out in his pajamas, he asked himself over and over what had happened.

The sound of the doorbell woke Patamon so he checked out (after checking the peephole). Then blinked. What did Davis want in the middle of the night? And why was DemiVeemon still asleep? Wait, forget that last part.

Patamon opened the door and let Davis in. Davis asked, "Uh, Patamon? Where's M-T.K.'s mom?"

Patamon stared, that sounded nothing like Davis! He replied, "She's out tonight. What do you want?"

"It's a long story, but first, we have to wake up T.K." T.K. pointed towards his bedroom.

Patamon scratched his head as Davis went to the bedroom, set DemiVeemon down, closed the curtain, door and window, and attempted to wake T.K. up.

"What?"

Patamon jumped back and DemiVeemon woke up, as T.K. yelled the aforementioned word in anger.

Davis blinked, "Why am I staring at myself?"

T.K. explained, "I don't know either Davis, but it seems, I'm in your body, and, and you're in mine."

Davis blinked, "What? Who did this?"

T.K. shrugged.

Patamon and DemiVeemon shrieked, "WHAT'S GOING ON?"

T.K. explained, "It seems, that me, T.K., I've become Davis and Davis has become me."

Realisation dawned upon Davis, "I'm you."

T.K. nodded.

"I can't believe it! I'm you!"

"I take it you know what happened?"

Davis became sheepish, "It was earlier today, at the birthday party."

T.K. turned dangerous, "Davis, what did you wish for?"

"I wished I was perfect, y'know, like, like you… But I didn't think that…"

T.K. slapped his forehead, "Davis, as much as I feel honoured that you would think I was perfect, I'm not."

Davis gave him a look, "Have you seen yourself?"

"Yea, I have, and trust me, your life is much more perfect than mine."

Patamon saddened, "T.K. …"

"No it's not! From where I stand, you just can't get any perfect! Everywhere I go, it's T.K. this, or T.K. that! Even Jun hasn't stopped talking about you! It's always you!"

T.K. sighed. Davis would find out for himself. T.K. then said, "Alright then, you tell yourself that. You wanted to be 'perfect', like me. You have your wish. We can't tell the others, there's too many of us; it'll spread like wildfire. We'll have to carry on with each other's lives until we figure out a way to reverse this. If we can."

Davis blinked as he watched himself leave.

Patamon asked, "Where do I go?"

T.K. explained, "It'll look weird if we're with each other's partners, so come on DemiVeemon, we're going home. Remember Davis, Patamon, no one else can know about this."

Davis nodded vigorously.

When T.K. left, Davis stared at the floor. He wanted to be like T.K. Not be T.K.!

Then Davis thought of the best thing.

Kari!

She would be his! Not T.B.'s! Tai wouldn't hate him! The Digidestined would love him! He would have fangirls at school! This was the best birthday ever!
