Takeru awoke to the smell of eggs and bacon. 'Food…' He murmured. The blonde rose from the bed, rubbing his eyes. Yawning, the boy stretched his arms out. 'Good morning Patamon.' He said cheerfully to the flying digimon next to him, sitting on his chair. 'You're up early. I'm usually up before you.' The boy said. 'I smelled food.' The digimon said, as if that explained everything.

'Oh, I see.' TK said nodding at the same time. He stepped down from his bed and then turned around as if realizing something. 'Wait, mom isn't home. How is there food being cooked right now?'

'Yamato is here.' Patamon said. TK raised an eyebrow. 'If he's going to be here that much, he might as well stay here in my apartment.' The boy joked. Standing up to stretch his back, he saw Patamon fly off to the kitchen. TK shook his head and smiled at the digimon rushing off to get food.

(A/n Alright, from now on I will be saying Takeru and Hikari since, although I am used to TK and Kari, Takeru and Hikari just sound better. Okay, they both sound the same. Basically, I just like writing out Takeru and Hikari.)

After dragging his feet to the bathroom for a quick shower, Takeru stepped outside the bathroom door. 'Honestly, Yamato just stay here for the time you'll be on Odaiba. It's obvious you'll be around my house a lot.' Takeru said. 'What would mom say?' Yamato asked.

'She's your mother. She can't possibly kick you out.' Takeru said.

'True. I guess I should stay in the spare room. I'll talk to dad later. Anyways, we're meeting at Tai's house in an hour.' Yamato stated.

After finishing the delightful breakfast, both of the Ishida-Takaishi brothers headed off toward Tai's house.

Upon arriving at the Yagami residence, Yamato was about to knock on the door. Taichi had opened the door before he knocked, therefore causing the blonde to knock on the bushy haired boy's forehead a few times. 'Gee, Yamato you've only left for a few months yet you are stupider than ever. It must be your blonde hair.' Tai joked grinning.

'Taichi Yagami, I resent that; Takeru is a blonde and look at the grades he gets.' Yamato said pointing to Takeru. 'Heh…' Takeru said giving a sheepish grin and putting his hand on the back of his neck. It was true thought – Takeru was a straight A student. He wasn't as smart as Ken or Izzy but that was alright. But who was as smart as the two?

Tai shrugged inviting the two blondes in. 'Hey everyone.' Yamato remarked. He was immediately attacked by three girls giving him a hug. 'We missed you!' The girls shrieked. 'What? Do I have three other girls to add to my fan club?' Yamato said grinning at Mimi, Sora, and Hikari. (A/n Let's just say Mimi was visiting Japan.)

'Of course not; we just haven't seen you in a long time so we missed you.' Hikari said letting the boy go. 'What about me?' Takeru pouted. The girls giggled and rushed over to Takeru to give him a hug. 'Takeru! You stole my girls!' Yamato yelled.

'I thought I was the only girl in your life.' Mimi said teasingly. Ever since Sora and Yamato decided that they weren't meant to be, Yamato realized that he was in love with Mimi. Sora realized that she was in love with Taichi, but was too shy to admit it.

Takeru grinned and shrugged. 'It must be the hat that attracts them.'

Taichi only rolled his eyes. 'Alright, we girls are going out to get some food for the party. You guys stay here and…' Sora began and eyed the boys up and down, 'Actually, I think I should stay here. Who knows what you three will do to the decorations.

The boys grinned sheepishly. 'I'll stay with you Sora. They might… do stuff. I mean, this is Taichi, Yamato, and Takeru we're talking about here. You are going to need some help.' Kari added. Sora and Mimi nodded. 'I'll go get the food then. I promise, I won't even look at the mall. I'll just head straight to Yolei's convenience.' Mimi said smiling innocently. Sora laughed, 'Don't worry Mimi I trust that you won't get on your shopping addiction. Just don't get anywhere near Odaiba Mall.'

Mimi giggled also, and took her purse and headed toward Yolei's convenience store.

'Tai work on the streamers. Yamato and Takeru work on the banners. Hikari and I will blow up the balloons. Is that clear?' Sora stated.

The boys saluted as if they were in an army and watched away. Sora rolled her eyes.

'Wait a second – if this is my party, why do I have to put up the decorations.' Yamato commented. 'Since I'm the best friend of the reason of this party, I shouldn't have to help either.' Tai added cockily. 'You two have to work because I said so.' Sora said giving them a glare. The two immediately scared went off to work on the decorations.

Hikari was trying to stifle a giggle while Takeru commented, 'Haven't you two learned that you never decline a girl's orders, especially Sora's?' He shook his head at the same time. He walked off to help Yamato with the banners. 'Boys will never learn, Hikari.' Sora commented with a smirk. The girls went off toward the bags of balloons and began blowing.

The party begins…

One by one, all of the digi-destined entered the Yagami residence. Well, at least the ones that were able to come. Izzy had to go to some computer convention. Cody had to stay home to help his grandfather with some chores. Jyou was studying medical school in London and was unable to come.

As everyone settled in, they noticed their surroundings. 'Welcome back!' banners were hung around. Streamers filled the room. Balloons were floating. It was a cheerful sight.

As everyone came in, they each gave Yamato a friendly hug. 'I was only away for a few months… do I really need this big of a party?' Yamato would say. Tai would grin and say, 'No, we're all looking for a good occasion to have a party.'

Daisuke had changed a lot over the years. Everyone knew he had a crush on Hikari since they were eleven or twelve. Determined that Takeru and Hikari were meant to be and that Takeru would bring her happiness, Daisuke gave up. That was rather mature of Daisuke. He was no longer obsessive of Hikari, but rather became a close friend. He knew he could never be as close as Takeru and Hikari were, but it made him happy to know that Hikari would be happy. In his heart, Dai still loved Hikari very much. Deeper in his heart, he knew that Takeru loved her more and could make her much happier than he ever could. He wanted Hikari to be happy. Always.

'Let's get this party started!' Mimi exclaimed.

The food was arranged on the table as a 'take-whenever-whatever-you-want' sort of thing. There were chips, soda and cups, and pizza. The group sat in a circle on the floor catching up on everything that Yamato had missed. Laughter could be heard throughout the apartment. Claps echoed the hallways. It was a wonderful night.

The group decided to get daring and go for a game of 'Truth or Dare'. Since the party was meant for Yamato, he got to pick his first 'victim'. He grinned knowing exactly who to pick. 'Takeru, truth or dare?' He questioned. Takeru almost immediately knew what his older sibling was going to ask. He decided to pick dare. 'I'll go with dare.' (1)

A grin appeared on Yamato's face. Takeru didn't like the look of this. 'I dare you to…' Suddenly there was a loud beeping noise. It was a fire alarm.


Notes;

1. Everyone knew I was going to put Truth or Dare no matter how cliché it is. xP I just had to add it in.

Alright, so I left with quite a cliff hanger. Sorry it took me so long to write. It took me a while to think of what to write.
