Chapter II: An unexpected dinner

Alex's P.O.V

Everything was going great for my first day of school, the only problem was that after school I would be going to a house that was empty and would be empty for a long time, my parents had both the a patient going in for plastic surgery at night, this was the life of the sun of two parents that were plastic surgeons, I arrived home and my smile faded into a frown, I slapped my face two times and reassured myself that everything was going to be fine, I threw my backpack to the couch and immediately went to the kitchen and baked myself some pancakes, I putted them in a plate and went to the fridge to get the vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Then I remembered I had just downloaded this new movie called «Hotel Transylvania» and went to my room to get my Laptop.

When I arrived at my room something really strange was happening, my computer was changing numbers between zeros and ones, as if it was a binary code, correction it was a binary code after sometime of the changing numbers a giant egg started coming out of my laptop it was mostly white with two red circles, for some reason I felt attracted to it, but I know really well that things coming out of the computer weren't a good sign, ever since that day six years ago I've been a little afraid of everything that was digital, I was the only one that remembered the end of the world, everyone else thought I was crazy and that I should be put in a mental institute, ever since that knight made me the promise that if we humans proved ourselves, he would be back as my partner Digimon whatever that meant, he speared me and my parents from death and for that I was grateful.

I slowly touched the egg and as I touched it, it glowed a bright red and it cracked, out of the egg that started to deteriorate came a little red fellow with four pas a tail with the tip of it black and strange red demon like wings ears, it had yellow eyes and it was the size of a little teddy bear.

'Hello Alex, long time no see' the little fellow said.

I had to admit I was a little scared I had never seen this creature in my life yet I had the feeling that I had met him before.

'Sorry, but have we met before?' I asked.

'Oh, yes, last time I was Gallantmon, the giant knight that was going to kill you and your parents, but now I'm Gigimon, I came here to become your Digimon partner as I promised, I resigned my spot as a knight to become your partner and was reverted to my digi-egg form so we could start from the beginning, most of my memories were erased accept the ones about you, so I could come be with you again.'

For some reason I believed what the little fellow was saying, he didn't seem like the one to lie, and if he knew about what happened six years ago it was likely that he and the knight were the same person.

'So you and me are partners now?'

'Yes'

'Can I give you another name? Calling you Gigimon is a little strange'

'Sure that seems cool'

'Then how about Ace! '

'Sure Ace is fine'

'Are you Hungry Ace?'

'I'm starving Alex, do you have any food?'

'Sure I just made some pancakes let's go, and let's watch this new movie that I downloaded today'

Ace jumped to my head and made himself comfortable in it, I got my laptop and went on my way to the living room to watch the movie and finally eat my pancakes with my new partner. He didn't look but he ate a lot, I even had to make a second batch of pancakes.

After we watched the movie Ace was tired so I picked him up and went to my room, I took my clothes of staying only in my boxers pulled my covers and we both went to bed, it had been the best day of my life, new town, new friends, and a new company for when my parents weren't home.

When I woke up it wasn't even day but I woke up every day at the same time, as soon as I got up from my bed ace woke up, I made my bed and prepared breakfast, bacon and eggs, I took some spoons of ice cream and made myself and Ace some milkshakes, and baked a chocolate cake to take for lunch, today I would have school at morning and at the afternoon, I also made some Greek salad and duck rice for my parents for when they woke up witch would be around 1 p.m. I ate my breakfast with ace and cut some pieces of cake for him when he was hungry, I told him to not leave my room, but he could do anything he wanted, I gave him some Mangas to read, prepared myself and I was off to my second day of school.

During my run to school I encountered my new friends walking together.

'Hey' I yelled and they turned around facing me with smiles on their faces.

'Hey' all of them said in unison.

'Sorry about us going out yesterday without doing much with you it's just that we haven't seen Kristy's brother in six years, he has been travelling all around and he finally came back' said Keenan.

'Don't worry I also had some stuff to unpack at home and some work to do' I lied I couldn't make them feel more sorry then they already were, it's not like they were my babysitters and everyone has stuff they have to do.

'Are you ready for your second day of school Alex, today you're going to have P.E. with us so good luck with that?' Said Relena with a devious smile, I had the impression that she was going to size me in P.E. Class, gods help me because I was going to face a devil with the face of an angel.

We finally arrived at the school and Relena was still eyeing me up and down, I had to ask Keenan later why she was eyeing me so much.

We went inside and changed into our indoor shoes, making our way to class, as I sat I was surrounded by female classmates that were ready to tear me limb from limb.

'You aren't going to get away now, so do you have a girlfriend' Asked the girl that looked more like a whore then an actual student, her skirt looked more like a long belt then an actual skirt, her shirt was unbuttoned showing her big breasts that were obviously implants, and she had too much make-up.

'What do you want Violet?' Asked Keenan with a bored face.

'Did I talk to you, no I don't think so?' She spat like venom.

I really didn't like the way she was talking to my friend so I did what a normal friend should do embarrass her.

'No I actually don't why?' I did the same smile Keenan told me hypnotized people and I saw it working she was starting to gag a lot.

'Because I'm interested in you?' she said back getting all high and mighty.

'Sorry but I'm not interested in fake boobs' I responded without a shred of fear of the girl.

'I don't have fake boobs.' She said getting all red of anger at this point Keenan was looking at me with eyes of proudness. I was seriously enjoying playing with this girl it was fun, I always hated the popular people in school, or at list those who were popular and acted all high and mighty.

'Keep fooling yourself.' Those were the last words I said to here she and the other two girls turned around and went to sit down on their sits.

'Nice one' Said Keenan.

'Thanks, I couldn't let her treat you like shit and not give her a piece of my own mind, so I have a question, why is Relena always eyeing me up and down?'

'That's obvious she has a crush on you, because of your smile. So if she asked you out would you go out with her?' he said now with a big smirk. My face was starting to burn of embarrassment because of his question.

'I don't know, I barely know her yet, I barely know any of you guys yet we only met yesterday.

'Yes that's true but that doesn't mean anything, we are both teenagers, we have to enjoy our life. Believe me one of these days we might even die, besides going out on a date doesn't mean you guys are a couple, it just means you are starting to know each other.'

'Yes that's right, maybe one of these days.'

Class went slowly today since me and Keenan were actually paying attention. In P.E. I was partnered with Keenan, and Relena was with Kristy, we stretched and then the teacher told us today that we were going to run forty-five minutes and then the other forty-five minutes we were going to play basketball.

It had only been ten minutes since the beginning of class and most people were already tired they thought this was a race and gave all there energy from the beginning of the class, we on the other hand had plenty of energy to spare, most likely they had been training since they were kids, probably not like me but they trained. I had always liked running since running and cooking were the only things that let me think and solve my problems. Sightseeing was a bonus from running, I had seen beautiful scenarios thanks to running.

After classes we were all running home when my cellphone rang, I didn't even see the id number but it turns out it was my mom.

'Hello Alex, he forgot to tell you today our bosses and their families are coming to our home for dinner with us so you should cook for at least 15 people.' Said my mom.

'What!' I yelled to my phone, Kristy, Keenan and Relena were surprised.

'Honey, you don't need to worry you can do it, you always can' my mom answered trying to give me hope.

'I never said I couldn't, just promise me you and dad won't do this again'

'We promise honey' And then I ended the call, hey no pressure I only had to do enough food for at least 15 people in three hours, get ready, and keep ace inside my room without anyone noticing that there's a little reptile creature that can talk in my home.

'Sorry guys, I have to go home and prepare for a dinner of at least 15 people in three hours.' I said getting a little down, we were supposed to hang out for at least an hour before they had to go work.

'It's ok, there's no problem, but can you do that?' Asked Relena getting worried.

'Of course I can, I'm used to it, my parents are always seeing an opportunity to talk about my cooking to everyone, it makes them feel good that people like my cooking.' I reassured her.

I went home and started working, I made seafood rice, Portuguese stew, bean stew and Russian salad, for dessert, I made chocolate mousse, and an apple pie there was ice cream in the fridge so I didn't worry much about the dessert, I went to my room saw that I had more 45 minutes caught Ace and went to take a bath, after the bath I dried my hair and dressed myself I wore some jean pants and a white t-shirt. Ace was now in my bed acting as if he was teddy, he knew once the visitors arrived he couldn't actually move so he stayed there speechless. Suddenly the bell rang, once I opened the door I was surprised, there were my parents, Keenan, Kristy, Relena and a bunch of other people that were possibly their parents and brothers.

'Please don't tell me that you guys are actually my parent's boss's sons?'

'Well, not all of us, for me it's my brother that is your parents boss' said Relena.

'Come in' I said.

They all came in my parents were surprised that my new friends were had a certain relation with their boss's. We all sat at the table and ate there were exactly 14 people, me, my parents, Keenan, his parents and little sister, Kristy, Kristy's parents and his older brother Marcus, Relena, her brother Thomas Norstein and his girlfriend Yoshino. Everybody complimented my cooking, Kristi's mom even asked for the recipe of my seafood rice, and we talked about other foods. Until the grownups started drinking that was my cue to take my friends into my room.

Relena's P.O.V

When we entered Alex's room the first thing I saw was the cute teddy that was on Alex's bed, it was so cute I wanted to hug it, but Kristy and Keenan looked at it with suspicion in their eyes, for a moment there the teddy looked a little nervous, so I grabbed it and started stretching it, until it got mad and bit me.

'What the fuck' I screamed.

'I can explain' Alex was so nervous but we all understood in the moment that that little teddy was actually Alex's partner Digimon.

'You don't need to.' Both Kristy and Keenan said taking their Digivices from their pockets and realizing both Biyomon and Falcomon.

Alex's P.O.V.

Ok now I was confused there were two birds inside my room one pink and the other one gray, until I said.

'You both have digimons!' Both of them said yes with their faces and I was so happy there digimons were awesome, mine was really small now but I wanted him to be bigger in the future.

'Listen tomorrow you should come with us, for you to have a digimon partner you need to be a part of DATS and we seriously need an extra set of hands, please join us.' Said Keenan.

'Sure me and Ace will help you.'

'Ace?'

'Yes, me' my digimon said.

'You named your digimon ace'

'Yes, saying Gigimon all the time would be awful so I named him Ace and he likes it.'

That settled it in the morning I was going to go to DATS, and join them, I don't know what they do but I was going to find out.
