Think of this a a slightly late Christmas present. This first bit is just a basic introduction/get to know the characters/what's happened in their lives sort of thing, and also to introduce the Digidestined's charming children. I've rearanged things, made up spouses and scenario's in some cases, made some offspring boys instead of girls, or girls instead of boys, and since I pretty much had to guess at names and ages, I gave up and made them up myself. But I promise, it's all good ; ) If there's anything you want to know about them, just drop a line or review, and I'll let you know.

Also, I'm having a hard time typing. Certain keys on my keyboard are sticking, like r and shift. I'll press them, and sometimes nothing happens and I don't notice until much later. Very annoying! Oh well. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own or have rights to Digimon, or anything Digimon related, but I do enjoy writing about them ; )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a peaceful day in the Digital World, 11 years after Sammy's first birthday party. Everything was unusually quiet, which was good. The Digidestined were finally having a reunion.

Deeanna was napping under a shady tree, with Ken's head in her lap, pressed lovingly against her tummy where their next child was ocasionally kicking. Ken had finally achieved his dream of becoming a private investigator, and was one of the best. They'd had two more children, 10 year old identical twin girls who looked like Ken, but with opposite personalities, named Koyuki and Kimi.

Sammy and tomboyish Koyuki were playing soccer nearby, while quiet Kimi was reading manga's with Vee and Wormmon. Their Digimon were napping. Deeanna opened one eye sleepily the other Digidestined and Digimon began to arrive, smiling fondly at each one.

There was Tai, the first diplomat and representative of the Digital world. Though he and Aguman were constantly busy, they always made time for his son, Tadaomi, who was more commonly known as Tad. The 10 year old was Tai in miniature, and Sammy's best friend.

Matt and Sora, and Izzy all arrived together. Matt and Sora had married just a few months after Deeanna and Ken. Matt had given up on becoming an astronaut; it would have meant being away too much when he was currently needed to help fight. Instead, he'd concentrated on his music, launching a solo career, and was imensely popular in America. Sora became a fashion designer and was known world-wide for her very original designs. They shooed their sons Michael and Sean, ages 11 and 8, in front of them.

Izzy had a career in computer programming, and a successful business. However, he spent the majority of his time setting up a monitoring system within the Digital World to benifit Digidestined world-wide; with it, they were able to tell who was coming and going, and where Empress Yolei was at all times. His sweet daughter, 10 year old Mina, peeked shyly from behind him at Sammy and blushed almost as red as her hair.

Then there was Joe and Mimi, who were also married. Joe became a doctor, of course, but never a kinder and more gentle doctor will you ever find. Mimi convinced him not to cut his hair, saying it made him way cute and more approachable. Mimi got her own cooking show. Their son and daughter, Robert and Lily, raced ahead to join their friends and play, the 9 year old holding his 8 year old sisters hand protectively.

Cody followed, looking just as calm and serene as he had most times as a child. He'd married a childhood friend, though she was currently abroad, and their daughter, 8 year old Sumiko, held his hand as they walked.

The group approached, calling out greetings and waving, laughing and joking.

"Hey, Dee!" Tai called, waving with his free hand. He carried a blanket and a grocery bag of food."Hope you made your famous negi ramen, 'cause Agumon and I are starved!"

"Yes, I did," Dee replied sleepily, watching Tai's young son, Tad, rush off to join the soccer game."But you'll have to wait until everyone arrives. T.K and Kari and their brood aren't here yet."

"Darn!" Tai sighed, snapping his fingers. He spread out his blanket next to Dee's and stretched out."Just one little taste?"

"Forget it, pal," Dee replied.

"Don't argue with the woman," Ken muttered sleepily."She keeps a ladle in her purse. She'll whack you with it faster than you can blink, Tai."

"If she didn't give me any, what makes you think you have a chance?" Vee said, rolling his eyes as he turned a page.

Laughing, Tai gave up. Since Ken had convinced Dee to not give up on her dream, and she had opened a noodle house instead of a cart, it had been an instant success. Her negi ramen was a big favorite among the Digidestined. Even gentle Sora and relaxed Joe had to bite their tongues to keep from asking for a 'little taste', too, as they spread out their blankets and unpacked the food they'd brought.

"Hey!"

The Digidestined waved at the newcomers. T.K and Kari were striding towards the party, T.K's arm around Kari's waist. They'd had finally decided to go steady just after high school, and got married within a year. T.K became a famous author, and has several popular books already published and widely circulated. Kari became a kindergarten teacher as she had wanted to.

Their son, 10 year old Kei, waved to his friends with a charming grin that he'd inherited from Kari. 6 year old Ami skipped along beside her brother.

Tai and Agumon turned expectantly to Deeanna.

"Now? Please?" Tai begged. Both had big puppy eyes and were starting to salivate. Everyone laughed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mmmm!" Tai groaned."I'm stuffed!"

The adults sat back happily. It had been a long time since they had all been able to get back together, or relax and let their guard down, even for a little while. The grown up Digidestined still protected the Digital World in their spare time, with other Digidestined from all around the world. Though they worried a lot about them, they were starting to let their own children explore and take on responsibilites. This day, however, would be the first time they let them explore without a chaperone.

"Can we go now, mom? Dad?" Sammy stood, looking anxiously at his parents while biting his lip. The twins were quivering with excitement, and the other children shivered with anticipation.

The adults looked at each other, and Deeanna and Tai shared a wordless conference.

"Alright," Deeanna finally nodded. She pulled her goggles out of her purse, and tossed them to Sammy."Put those on, kiddo. We've all decided, you're in charge. So take care of everyone while you're off exploring."

Sammy held the goggles in awe. His mom had treasured these, since 'uncle' Tai had given them to her 18 years ago. He knew she only wore them when she came here. Reverently, he pulled them on, amazed at the perfect fit. The adults couldn't believe how much he looked like young Davis, though his hair was a bit darker and the spikes were a trifle less stiff, and his eyes were indigo instead of brown.

"How do I look?" he asked, excitedly, a grin lighting up his tanned features. Tai nodded approvingly.

"Like a leader," he said.

All of the adult Digidestined had private conferences with their children, giving sage bits of advice and warnings to stay out of trouble and to look after their sibblings, before they let them go.

"Come on!" Sammy shouted, and they raced off, laughing delightedly, with their partner Digimon. The adults watched them, proud and just a little sad.

"They're awfully young," Sora whispered in worry.

"Most are the same ages that we were when we first started our adventures," Matt reminded her.

"They're very sensible," Ken said."And stronger. Each generation of Digidestined produces stronger partnerships. They'll find their way soon, and we shouldn't worry too much.

Hearts swelling with parental pride, they smiled after their children who were growing up so fast (even little Ami). They were the new generation of Digidestined, and their parents just knew that it was up to their children to finally take Yolei down and free the Digital World for good.
