Remember the Time
Written by: womynrule
Summary: "Remember the time…" the whole digimon gang get together for their reunion as they talk about moments that shaped them to be the people and digimon that they are 25 years after it all ended…or began. Told in one-shots with various POV. Canon, OOC and OC. Sora, Tai, Matt, Mimi, Izzy, Joe, T.K., Kari, Davis, Yolei, Ken, etc.
Rated T: For some swearing, some sexual innuendo, some depressing scenes, nothing too graphic but just wanted to be safe.
Authors note:
Oh my god I cannot tell you how much I wanted to post anything on this site. I am not dead I can tell you that and I'm so sorry, I'd be surprised if anyone reads this fanfiction. I want to thank all of my fanficiton friends that have reviewed my other stories and I assure you I am posting them as I speak…write…type…whatever. I know I have no excuse but high school is really graining on my life. I have no life out of this lap top literally.
So I thought as a Christmas present to all of you people out there I'd make this new line of one-shots. It's a plot bunny that's been on my mind a while and I thought "why the hell not?" This will be a series of inter-connected one-shots about the personal moments of the digimon gang that weren't shown in the anime. Although each chapter could stand on it's own. There are also some instances of some of my theories on the couples within digimon (and I'm trying to be as canon-like as possible) It's slightly OOC here and there but that was just for laughs. After all this fanfiction is just to make you laugh! Cry! Smile! Snicker! Flame maybe (hope not)! And much more!
Also you might notice that I alternate between Japanese and American names, bear with me please, you can blame that on my upbringing.
Don't know how long this is going to be, I'll stop it when I feel that there's a point that it needs to stop but hey, let's hope that this fanfiction lasts!
Prologue
One great thing about getting old is that
you can get out of all sorts of social obligations
just by saying you're too tired.
- George Carlin
The sun was shining…
The grass was green…
The air was fresh…
And Gabumon was still accidentally sneezing fire on the flowers…
Great…
The whole digimon was gathered in the park, an extension of the area where the used to reminisce as teenagers. With their spouses and their children, they all gathered for their annual reunion on the day that the digi-destined first entered the digital world. But a history lesson is in store for all those dear viewers who missed the last 25 years.
The digital world was at peace thanks to the roles of the chosen children throughout the world but especially the Japanese chosen children. The defeat of MaloMyotismon may have brought peace to both worlds but it was only temporarily.
The digital world and the human world became one, fusing together therefore forcing two very different species to co-exist.
Digimon began to enter the human world while humans began to colonize the digital world. And while there were a few bumps in the world, and as there is still on this day [1] it seemed that all was right in the world.
-Tai-
Tai was there, abeilt with less hair, and with his partner in crime (or rather UN) Agumon. He never thought he would be one of those intellectual types.
So no one was more surprised then him when he discovered that he is actually good at being a delegate in the UN for digimon and human relations.
Still he seems to be the only one at conferences that thinks it's perfectly okay to chew gum during a meeting…
He met his future-wife at his first UN conference. Ayame was the black haired, blue eyed woman that greeted him with a "What's up?" when they met in the conference hall.
When she later patted Agumon without fear, punched him when he said something half-way intelligent and then stole his carrot cake in the cafeteria he knew she was the one.
Their only son is Taiki [2] Yagami, the young philosopher of the group. The irony of it all is that everyone says that Taiki inherited that trait from his father.
-Matt & Sora -
Matt and Sora had brought some cupcakes with them and their easy smiles. Matt decided to not further his musical career and instead chose to become an astronaut.
Matt along with Gabumon became the first human and Digimon to ever land on Mars (although their original destination was the moon).
Sora decided to further her feminine lifestyle and became a fashion designer along with Biyomon.
They are each others high-school sweethearts. However once high-school ended they two of them broke up thinking that statistically they wouldn't make it but rekindled their romance once they finished collage.
Their union gave birth to Kaoru, who inherited her father's looks and style and Kai, who seemed to have created a hell-raiser attitude all on his own.
-Ken & Yolei-
And as always the couple that was the loudest when entering the park was Ken and Yolei. Not quite sure what to do in his life Ken turned towards a detective career in hopes of fulfilling his love of mysteries and helping people.
Yolei pursued Ken since middle school however he was indifferent to her feelings. Once Yolei started to let him go and date other people Ken became insanely jealous and they started dating shortly after.
They married soon after high school. Their marriage allowed the birth of Kotoha, an aggressive sister that takes nothing from nobody; Souta, the quiet smart-ass (in every sense of the word) and Kenta, the baby of the group.
-Davis-
Of course no one could be as loud and rude as Davis who pushed the guards of the park aside to be the first one to reach the park.
Davis had decided to follow his dream made his own line of noodle carts called "Noodles, Noodles Come Get Your Noodles" cart which became a huge success.
When his business was just starting one woman came to his cart to try his noodles and told him that the noodles didn't taste good. Shocked Davis followed the girl around town trying to get her approval over his noodles (changing his recipe continuously to please her)
After changing his recipes over 15 times the girl stormed up to him and told him stop, she told him that he was thinking too much about it and if he kept it simple maybe more people would like it.
He listened to her and kept his recipes simple and his cart became an instant success. Davis also found that he was slowly falling for the girl and forgetting about his past love of Kari.
Davis always attributes Mako Hanaori, his wife to his success and he always attributes his own good looks for the reason his son Chiaki is the leader.
-Kari-
Kari soon followed suit, laughing along the way. Kari fulfilled her dream of being a kindergarten teacher.
Before fulfilling her dream Kari travelled the world presenting lectures and workshops on the inner workings of being partners with digimon as the world transitioned into a new phase.
On one of her stops in New York City Kari was reunited with Willis who was working similarly to Kari.
As they worked along side each other in New York Kari found herself enjoying her job even more. When Kari was about to leave New York to give another lecture in Colorado Willis asked if he could tag along.
As time passed Kari found that she was falling deeply in love with Willis. The two later married settling down in Japan and had a son.
Yukito Gladstone inherited his mother's whistle and her patience, while his sarcastic nature comes from his father.
-Izzy-
Izzy woke in with a smile on his face as he viewed his friends (both human and digimon) and his daughter who he always spoke to with their special language
Believe it or not he didn't have a computer in had. He may have had a blackberry but still...it's a start.
Izzy worked hard in researching digimon and became one of the world's leading researchers in anything digital.
What do you expect?
Now you may be wondering who is wife is, is she a researcher? is she as smart as Izzy? is she a tech girl?
The answer to all of those questions would be: no
Again, believe it or not Izzy found the love of his life, Mio Ayouma, in the cafeteria of his research base. She was the cute cafeteria girl that always had a soft spot for him and always had a carrot cake ready for him
They say that food is the way to the man's heart and Mio certainly got into Izzy's heart but it had nothing to do with her food
The mere fact that they also had their intellectual and cooking daughter, Nanami was just the cherry on top.
-Cody-
And Cody strode in too, with his quiet demeanor at hand. Cody fulfilled his dream of being a lawyer working hard to become one.
Meeting his wife wasn't difficult at all for him though, the moment he saw Tsukiyo Nakagawa in his class with her pencil behind her ear he knew she was the one and she did too apparently considering that they married soon after they met.
As boring as that sounds, he wouldn't have it any other way especially considering they had their precious daughter Miyuki.
-Joe-
Joe clumsily walked to the park, with his suitcase in hand with all his paperwork and a crushed box of doughnuts (don't think anyone is going to eat those…) Joe followed his brother's example and became a doctor, pretty standard stuff huh?
But who would have thought that Joe would marry his student, 15 years his junior.
You read that right.
Rieko Hinaga is one persistent women and Joe couldn't help but love her for that, especially because they now have a carbon-copy son: Dan Kido.
-Mimi-
Mimi couldn't help laugh watching Joe try to enter the park. After a string of acting jobs and some beauty pageants, Mimi found her true passion in cooking and so she thought: why not combine the two things Mimi loves?
Television and cooking and so she has her own cooking show. Mimi also found her passion in Michael Devon [3]. However Mimi's happy life wouldn't be so happy anymore when Michael was in a car accident and passed away.
Even though she's alone now, she knows that she is never really alone. Her husband will always watch over her and she will always have a cool son Sosuke.
Sometime he thinks to himself that his mother is too beautiful for her own good. Guys seem to be lining outside of their apartment just waiting to ask her out on a date, so when he goes home most of his time is spent on asking his partner Palmon to use her poison-ivy on the lot of them.
Strangely enough it's one of his favorite past times.
-T.K.-
And as always Takeru was the last to arrive [4] with his calm easy stride. Takeru took the easy road in life and began to relax and enjoy the time that he had after the defeat of MaloMyotismon.
Of course he never expected to meet his true love on the road to relaxation. Meeting his future-wife in the only quiet library in the city the moment Takeru saw her and heard her speak to him he couldn't breathe.
He needed to get to know her and eventually Shiori Shiyomiya became Shiori Takaishi.
They had a son named Tsubasa although Takeru doesn't know where his son got his need-to-prank nature but considering the fact that his nephew has the exact same attitude Takeru wonders whether the "funny" gene skips a couple of generations.
And on this summer day the digimon gang gathered together. Human and digimon alike laid their blankets on the grass, got their sandwiches, fish and fruits out [5], plopped themselves on their blankets and just enjoyed each others companies, remembering the good and the bad times, the happy and the sad times, especially the funny times.
All was right in the world-
"Reminiscing is fun don't you think guys?"
"I don't know about you but it makes me like an old dick…"
"Nice analogy Davis…nice analogy…"
"Remember the time that Izzy tried to explain Sora to Tai?"
Authors Note:
So that was the prologue (although it was a little long, but I needed to establish the history and all that) and all those itty-bitty feel good moments will be starting in the next chapter!
[1]: I don't believe that there could be a happily-ever-after suddenly after MaloMyotismon died, it's just no possible and while the epilogue is confusing as shit as it is, I'm trying to fix that by making it semi-realistic. There are still problems in the world, but that's up to the digimon gang's children now and besides on this day things are peaceful
[2]: Notice the digimon xros wars reference? XD
[3]: Remember that character on the show?
[4]: Yeah I notice that Takeru could be a little late to everything, kind of like Kakashi no?
[5]: yeah, that was a nod to the 3rd episode of Digimon Adventure.
But anyway
You heard Kari…
Next Chapter: "Remember the time that Izzy tried to explain Sora to Tai?"
Here's to hoping you read this fanficiton and don't try and plan my impending doom instead!
Btw: did anyone catch "The World only god knows" reference? (I needed it to come up with the names…)
Remember reviews= encouragement = love = write more chapters
