Chapter 3: Merry Christmas Tamers! (Edited!)
Takato looked at Henry with a smile.
"Why did you kiss me?"
Henry blushed hard. "Because I love you!"
Takato smiled and walked over getting ready to kiss him back….
BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Henry woke up with a start.
"Damn it." He thought to himself. "It was only a dream. I wish I could tell him… why I kissed him."
Henry sat up and looked around. It WAS Christmas…. Maybe he should just tell him.
xXxXxXxXx
Takato sat in his bed. It was the happiest time of the year… but all he could think about was Guilmon… and Henry. He slowly felt his cheek.
"Did he really kiss me?"
Takato then got up and walked to the door. He knew his parents were already up waiting for him. "Maybe… I'll tell him today."
xXxXxXxXxXx
By 9am all the Tamers were awake and had gifts. They all got what they wanted. But they all couldn't wait to be with the other Tamers. They looked over their gifts but mostly, they were just itchy to get to Rika's.
Finally it was Time for the party.
XXxXxXxXxXx
"I can't believe you got that card Kenta! You have to trade with me!"
That was the first thing Takato heard when he opened Rika's door.
"No way Kazu!" Kenta said sternly. "I wanted it too!"
Kazu looked around to make sure no adults were around and whispered, "But you're my boyfriend! You're supposed to love me."
Kenta playfully slapped Kazu.
"I'm not as gullible as I once was. That won't work, I know you'll still love me even if I don't give it to you!"
Kazu folded his arms.
"Some things never change." Takato heard from behind him. It was Henry. Takato could do nothing but smile at him.
Rika stepped in and broke the silence. "Merry Christmas you two!"
"Merry Christmas to you too Rika." Henry said, Takato was still smiling.
"Merry Christmas!" Suzie said as she busted through the door, along with Janyu. Henry's smile went away. Takato noticed that and motioned for Henry to come with him in another room.
"Are you going to be okay Henry?" Takato asked him.
"I don't know anymore. I should have forgiven him by now."
"It will just take time, Henry. I'm sure you will forgive him someday."
Henry smiled at him. "Why do you care so much?"
"Because you're my best friend!" Takato thought to himself, 'I should tell him. We're alone, and… I just should."
"Thank you Takato."
"There is another reason Henry."
Henry's smile widened. "Really?"
"Yes. Henry… I…"
"Hey you guys!" Rika jumped out of nowhere. Both of them wanted to yell at her.
"Everyone is here now! They are already exchanging presents, come on!"
So they sadly followed Rika back out to the living room.
Kenta and Kazu exchanged card packs. But Kenta refused to let go of the one Kazu wanted.
Ryo got Rika a pair of Diamond earrings.
Rika got Ryo a new outfit.
"Oops." Takato giggled. "I guess we missed everyone else."
"Well, come over here and I'll give you my present." Henry said and they walked over to the floor.
They handed each other their gifts.
"You go first Takato."
Takato nodded and slowly opened the present.
Takato couldn't believe his eyes.
"Actually.. I taped them myself."
Takato looked up.
"You took the time to do this?"
Henry nodded smiling. "I knew how much you would enjoy this."
It was every episode of Digimon.
Takato was trying not to cry. He couldn't believe Henry did this for him.
"Open yours."
Henry was completely stunned.
"Takato… how… this… had to have been a lot of money… how did you..?"
Takato smiled. "I would spend all the money in the world to make you happy."
"But.. why?"
Just then, Janyu stood up.
"Okay everyone, I have something to tell you all."
Everyone turned his or her attention to him.
"I know that I have made you all very sad with what I did, how you were separated from your partners. So this Christmas I have prepared something to make up for it."
They all looked at each other confused.
"Me and the monster makers, have been working hard to create this.. And we have succeeded. Tomorrow morning, you will all go to Takato's hide out in the park. All except Suzie, I'm sorry, but your mom and I thought it would be better if you didn't go. But the rest of you will go."
Henry looked confused. "Dad… where are we going?"
"The Digital World."
Everyone was shocked, how could they go?
"But how would we get back?" Takato asked.
"That's what the monster makers and I were working on. We made another Arc. It will appear two weeks from tomorrow, you will have two weeks there."
No one could believe it. Except one person…
"Why can't I go see Lopmon? Or Terriermon?"
Janyu sighed. "Your too young Suzie. I have talked to all of your parents and your all welcome to go."
Finally it hit them. Takato jumped up. "I'm going to see Guilmon?"
Janyu smiled. "Your parents are baking Guilmon bread as we speak!"
Takato, not thinking, hugged Henry. "You get to see Terriermon again!"
Everyone was hugging someone, and they all started crying. Jeri, started crying for a different reason.
"I can't go." Jeri said. Takato walked over to her. "Why not Jeri?"
"Because, you get to see Guilmon and Henry gets to see Terriermon and Rika gets to see Renamon, and on and on… I don't get to see Leomon… he's gone."
"I'm sorry Jeri."
As everyone was celebrating, Janyu walked over to Henry.
"Do you still hate me son?"
Henry humped into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"I never hated you dad. But I can completely forgive you now. Thank you, for doing this for us."
