As promised, there is more sweet Patamon/Gatomon romance in this chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 2: Introductions

The next morning, Gatomon woke up to find BlackGatomon on top of her. Great. Just great. She tried to push her sister off of her, but with no such luck. She was frustrated. Kari told her that she was going to have to introduce BlackGatomon to everyone at school today. Hopefully, the dark furred Digimon wouldn't wear that silly Hawaiian tourist outfit again. Just then, BlackGatomon woke up with a yawn. She stretched and greeted, "Morning, sis."

"Get off," Gatomon instructed flatly.

"Morning, girls," Kari woke up and greeted. "BlackGatomon, did you sleep well?"

"Yep. You've got such a warm and comfy bed," BlackGatomon smiled and remarked, rolling off of Gatomon.

How would you know? You were on me half the night… Gatomon wanted to say, but kept her thoughts to herself. As wary and irritated as she was, if Gatomon got to be too snarky, Kari might have gotten angry with her. Still, getting used to BlackGatomon would take some time. Before she showed up, the closest things she had to siblings were Agumon and Kari. Maybe Tai, but not as much as Agumon or Kari. Hawkmon? No, he was more of a good friend.

"I can't wait to meet Gatomon's boyfriend! Tell me, is he a hunk? How tall is he? Is he a Champion-level?" BlackGatomon nosily interrogated.

"He's an adorable Rookie," Gatomon simply answered. "And I love him with all of my heart. He's the sweetest boy ever."

"We'll see. You are not the only one with a tomcat, you know," BlackGatomon winked.

"Yeah, my boyfriend's not a cat. He's a Patamon," Gatomon explained.

"Oh. I see," BlackGatomon nodded.

For breakfast, Kari had a bowl of cereal. Usually, she let Gatomon have her cereal milk, but this time, she made Gatomon share it with BlackGatomon. After bumping heads, they managed to share, and Gatomon wasn't particularly thrilled about that. She loved milk. Why couldn't BlackGatomon get her own milk? Oh, well. There was no point in dwelling on it.

Later, the DigiDestined and their Digimon were all gathered together in the computer lab. Wormmon examined BlackGatomon, asking, "Who's this?"

"My sister…" Gatomon reluctantly admitted.

"My word, Gatomon, she looks so similar to you! If you two had the same coloration, I doubt I would be able to tell you apart!" Hawkmon exclaimed. "Hello, there. I'm Hawkmon."

"Pleased to meet you, bird boy! I'm BlackGatomon!" BlackGatomon eagerly shook Hawkmon's wing.

"She sure is energetic," Armadillomon remarked.

"Aw! What a cute turtle!" BlackGatomon cooed.

"Turtle?!" Armadillomon echoed. "Listen here! I'm called Armadillomon for a reason! Armadillomon!"

"Oops. Sorry," BlackGatomon shrugged, grinning.

"…I like her!" Veemon smiled and gave a thumbs-up of approval.

"Ooh! What are these?" BlackGatomon examined the rows of computers.

"They're called computers," Cody explained. "We use them to do our homework, gather information, and most importantly, get to the Digital World."

"You use these boxes to do that? All we ever had to do to get to and from the Digital World is have Daemon open a portal for us," BlackGatomon tilted her head. "It took me a while to realize what a jerk he really was. Now, I'm a free kitty!"

"Good for you! Daemon really was among the worst of bad guys," Wormmon remarked.

"Where's your boyfriend, sis?" BlackGatomon looked around. "Were you making this Patamon guy up just to impress me?"

"No! I don't care what you think of me!" Gatomon snapped. Just then, Patamon flew in as TK walked in.

"Sorry we're late. I was just talking to my language arts teacher about a short story that I'm in the middle of writing," TK explained.

"Hey, Gatomon!" Patamon descended. He and Gatomon exchanged kisses.

"Patamon, you're getting better at kissing every day," Gatomon purred seductively. Patamon looked over Gatomon's shoulder to see BlackGatomon. Gatomon followed his gaze and decided it was time for an introduction. She said, "Patamon, this is BlackGatomon, the prior form of LadyDevimon."

"Renegade Digimon of Daemon's army, former troublemaker, and your lover's sister! Nice to meet you!" BlackGatomon introduced herself, eagerly shaking Patamon's paw like she had recently done with Hawkmon.

What does she mean "former troublemaker"? Gatomon wanted to ask. Yet again, she decided it would be in her best interest to keep her thoughts to herself.

"Nice to meet you, too!" Patamon smiled at BlackGatomon, trying to be friendly. Classic Patamon, always trying to be compassionate and friendly.

"So, tell me about my sister," BlackGatomon implored. "What made you fall for her?"

"Well, she has adorable looks, is full of personality, has beautiful sapphire eyes, is very graceful, and she's very strong, too," Patamon started listing the things he loved about Gatomon. "Her long tail is very elegant. She has an appetite for fish that I find very attractive in a lady, she's smart, she's mature, she's playful, and she's very affectionate."

"Gee, is that all?" BlackGatomon smirked, somewhat surprised at all the things Patamon said about Gatomon.

"Oh, I'm not even halfway down the list," Patamon claimed. Gatomon blushed and smiled. She hugged Patamon, who responded by wrapping an arm around her.

"Most Patamon are quadrupeds, but you appear to be mostly using your hind legs," BlackGatomon noticed.

"It makes it easier to cuddle with Gatomon," Patamon shrugged.

"Wow, you were right about him being sweet. Do you two ever fight?" BlackGatomon asked, showing that she was clearly impressed by how sweet hearted Patamon was.

"We'll disagree from time to time," Patamon answered. Gatomon thought of the night before, on the phone, when she was telling him about BlackGatomon. Gatomon did not agree with what Patamon had to say right away, but decided to have faith in him when he connected BlackGatomon defecting from Daemon to Gatomon's experience in leaving Myotismon.

"Could've fooled me," BlackGatomon smiled.

"So, this whole time, Gatomon had a sister?" Ken asked Kari.

"Yep," Kari nodded.

"And you only found out yesterday?" Yolei questioned, baffled by the huge news.

"Uh-huh," Kari nodded again.

"You seem very calm," Cody remarked.

"Yeah! This is too huge to be calm! Freak out or something! It's not normal!" Davis exclaimed.

"Yeah, says the guy who caught his sleeve on fire," Cody muttered.

"Don't blame me! The heater was defective!" Davis yelled defensively.

"Do I want to know?" BlackGatomon asked. Yolei and Kari shook their heads.

"Well, look on the bright side. We have a new heater," TK pointed out. "This one actually works, too!"

"So, what did your language arts teacher think of your short story idea?" Kari asked.

"She said that when I'm done, she wants to be the first one to read it," TK reported.

"Can I be the second?" Kari snuggled up close to him and asked.

"Sure!" TK smiled.

"I always thought of you as more of an engineer," Davis remarked.

"No, that's me if the lawyer thing doesn't work out," Cody informed him.

"Well, sis, you've got a bunch of neat friends in your little group. I think I'm going to like it around here," BlackGatomon reported with a wink. Gatomon wanted to tell her not to jump the gun, but once again, she figured it was in her best interest not to.

"We're happy to have you!" Veemon wrapped an arm around BlackGatomon, who took his arm and detached it from her. Veemon held his hands up, saying, "Personal space, I can respect that."

Gatomon walked past him, whispering, "I woke up with her on top of me this morning. You don't have to."

"Is she taken?" Veemon asked.

"So she says," Gatomon nodded.

"His name is Mikemon," BlackGatomon reported. (A/N: I believe it is pronounced Mi-Kay-Mon, just to clear up any confusion)

"I've heard of that Digimon," Ken's eyes widened.

"YOU HAVE?!" his friends gasped, surprised.

"Yeah. I think it's another variation of Gatomon and BlackGatomon," Ken reported.

"You must be Izzy," BlackGatomon guessed.

"No, that's Ken," Gatomon sighed.
