Here is chapter 2! Just like chapter 1, but not with 10% more romance! N-not between Kari and Gatomon. That's a different kind of love. A sisterly love, if you will.

Gatomon: Yeah!

Agumon: Happy holidays!

Wrong month.

Agumon: Well, Thanksgiving is coming up. That's a holiday.

True. Enjoy!

Chapter 2: Saturday

It was a cool Friday evening. Kari, out of worry for Gatomon, asked her mother if they could have fish for dinner. Gatomon loved fish. Kari had actually been very worried about her partner and thought of her all day at school. She observed her feline friend carefully as they ate, watching for any signs of stress or unease. None seemed present throughout the duration of dinner.

"Thank you for the fish, Mrs. Kamiya," Gatomon thanked Kari's mother and bowed politely.

"I don't know which Digimon ate more, Gatomon or Agumon," Tai chuckled.

Agumon burped. "Excuse me." Everyone started laughing.

That night, Gatomon and Kari got cuddled up in bed. Kari kissed Gatomon's forehead and asked, "How was your day?"

"It was average, but I was so happy when you came home!" Gatomon exclaimed with the cutest smile Kari had ever seen.

"Aww! Thanks! I was so happy to get home and see you!" Kari informed her partner, hugging her.

"Good night, Kari," Gatomon yawned.

"Good night, Gatomon," Kari yawned back. They both drifted off to sleep. It was peaceful at first. Then, Gatomon began to have another night terror in the middle of the night.

"NO, NO! STOP IT! GET AWAY! NO! PLEASE! NOOO!" Gatomon thrashed and screamed in her sleep.

"Oh, no! Gatomon, wake up! Gatomon!" Kari tried to get a hold of Gatomon.

"KARI! KARI, HELP ME!" Gatomon begged in her nightmare.

"Gatomon, I'm right here! Please, just open your eyes!" Kari pleaded, struggling, trying to hug Gatomon and show her that it was only a dream and that everything was alright. That backfired. In all of her thrashing and struggling, Gatomon unconsciously gave a good swipe to Kari's face with her claws.

"I got it!" Agumon ran into Kari's bedroom with an empty bucket and hit Gatomon over the head with it by mistake. "Where'd the water go?"

"Ow…Agumon…" Gatomon groaned and rubbed her sore head. She turned to Kari, saw her face, looked at her own claws, and gasped. "Kari! I'm so sorry, Kari!" Gatomon broke down into sobs and hugged Kari.

Kari, never seeming to lack patience, gently stroked that back of Gatomon's head, saying, "Hey, don't cry. I know it was an accident. It's okay, really. I'll just say Miko did it, okay? Shh, everything's alright. Nothing happened. See? We're all okay."

"K-Kari…" Gatomon sniffled.

"Was your dream the same as last time?" Agumon asked curiously.

"Not exactly," Gatomon shook her head, her voice filled with sadness and guilt. She began to lick the scratches that she bestowed upon her best friend.

"Gatomon, that tickles!" Kari giggled.

"I'm sorry about this…" Gatomon sniffled.

"Gatomon, I told you that it's no big deal," Kari assured and gave Gatomon a smile filled with kindness and compassion. "You're my best friend. Nothing will ever change that."

"Happy Saturday," Tai yawned and walked in. "Another night terror?" Gatomon looked down as the tears welled in her eyes. Kari looked at Gatomon, and then nodded to her brother.

"There must be some way for us to get a handle on this!" Agumon exclaimed in frustration. He hated seeing Gatomon so upset and distressed.

I wish Wizardmon was here. He'd know what to do… Gatomon thought to herself. She deeply missed her old friend, Wizardmon. Sometimes, her heart would ache so much from missing him that she could almost swear her chest would cramp up.

"I miss him, too," Kari hugged Gatomon a little tighter and whispered in her feline ears. It was amazing. It was almost as if Kari knew what Gatomon had been thinking.

"Miss who?" Tai and Agumon asked in unison.

"Wizardmon," Gatomon said softly.

A little while later, in the early morning, Kari had put some disinfectant on her face and sat in a chair in the living room, holding Gatomon on her lap. Tai and Kari would sometimes find themselves watching the Saturday morning cartoons together, no matter how old they got. Kari asked, "Anything good on?"

"Nah. Not this week," Tai shook his head and turned on the news.

"…Some new sort of crow or bat of some kind was spotted late last night," the anchorman was saying. In the upper left corner of the TV, there was a picture of a round silhouette with wings in the moonlight. Gatomon's eyes widened, not in horror, but in shock, when she saw this.

"Gatomon?" Kari looked at her best friend's startled face. "You look like you've seen a ghost."

"I think I have," Gatomon answered, not looking away from the television.

"That shape looks familiar," Agumon noticed. "But wasn't he destroyed and absorbed?"

"I don't know how it's possible," Gatomon's breath seemed shaky. "How? Why?"

"Oh, it might not be DemiDevimon," Tai said the one thing that would contradict everyone's thoughts, including his own. "It might just be some new species of bat. That shot's not that great, so we don't know for sure."

"Tai's right," Kari got herself to agree with her brother. "We can't get worked up over a hunch."

"Right. A hunch," Gatomon nodded with a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

"Yeah! You know what they say! Don't fear the reaper!" Agumon smiled, remaining optimistic.

"I love that song!" Mrs. Kamiya shouted from the kitchen.

Please don't do a duet. Please don't do a duet. Please don't do a duet. Tai started praying in his mind.

Other than the excitement and commotion of Gatomon's latest night terror and the bat/crow thing on the news, the day was quiet, relaxing, and uneventful. In the middle of the afternoon, Patamon started knocking on the window. Gatomon opened it, "Hi, Patamon!"

"Hey, Gatomon! I heard you were having night terrors, so I brought you these," Patamon passed a bouquet of roses to Gatomon.

"Wow, Patamon! That's so sweet of you!" Gatomon looked at her Digimon friend in delight. Patamon smiled and blushed. "Wait. How did you know about my night terrors?"

"Kari seemed upset at school yesterday. When TK asked her what was wrong, she spilled the beans and broke down," Patamon reported.

"Kari was that worried about me…?" Gatomon was amazed by how much Kari cared about her, and how much Patamon cared about her (based on the fact that he brought her roses).

"Then, I started to worry about you, so I, uh, I brought you those roses," Patamon finished.

"Thank you, Patamon. They're beautiful," Gatomon thanked him.

"Y-you're welcome!" Patamon stammered. "I, uh, I guess I'd better get going now. I don't want TK to worry about me, you know?"

All too well. Gatomon nodded, keeping her thoughts to herself. "Thank you again for the roses, Patamon."

"Good bye, Gatomon. Have a good day," Patamon bid her farewell and started to fly away.

"You, too!" Gatomon called out to him and waved. When he was about 200 meters away, she closed the window and put the roses in a vase.

"Hey, who are those from?" Kari walked up.

"Patamon," Gatomon answered with a smile. "It sure was nice of him. He's always been a great friend. He and I always have been kind of close. I guess it isn't too surprising that he'd be worried by this whole night terror business."

"Yeah," Kari answered carefully.

"I know you're worried, too. Patamon told me about when TK asked you why you seemed stressed yesterday," Gatomon informed her.

"I guess the cat's out of the bag," Kari giggled.

"Yeah," Gatomon agreed and jumped into her arms. "Do you think Veemon and the others know?"

"Maybe," Kari shrugged. "Just remember we care about you."

"Thanks, Kari," Gatomon smiled.
