Hey all, I just posted an update for my other story and now I'm posting this one. I'm really excited for what is going to happen here because the other one is winding down (well maybe not for you but in my head it is). Again sorry for the absence, its not my first choice but life is life. Um… enjoy? (Review replies first though, also be sure to read the re-cap.)
arandomguy227: I would tell you but even I don't know lol! A lot of people seemed to be really pleased with Agumon's actions. And yeah I'm sorta going for that.
TheOmegaMan: Right? When I wrote it, I felt different. And Lol, we need to start that again… or at least do it once and a while.
dephsxylex: Phones are a pain in general, at least mine is. Yeah Agumon did what he thought was best. True, but his father is just worried.
Odinson83: Trust me… none of my stuff is EVER thought out. So thanks! And I don't really see the Digimon, Star Wars (may the force live forever) connection.
TheOtherGuy: Good, I'm glad you want it continued. But what was wrong with the end? (I disappointed, sorry. But better late then never I always say (not really, I don't really say that.) I expect a generous review from you this time! I've seen what your capable of, now prove it!
Supershooter: Lol, you watch to much TV. Well of course Sora is going to get added in… what did you expect? Really? Tony's part went fast… weird. I'll try to slow it down again.
ZariDenim: Tragically. That was a perfect word for the occasion. Yep, Tai's in denial, and Agumon just wants him out of it.
Drake-El: Your confused already. Good.
XOne N Onlyx: Here it is. Read or feel my wrath… I wish I had a wrath…
Li Rai: Really? I thought it was something Agumon wouldn't normally do. But I'm glad your enjoying the story.
Last Time: Tony and Moonmon woke up in a strange place, only to be attacked by a dinosaur and saved by a giant bear. Turns out, they were in the Digiworld. Moonmon Digivolved to Lunamon for the first time too. After walking in the desert for what seemed like hours, they noticed a cruise ship in the middle of nowhere. After boarding, Tony and Lunamon met a human figure named Benjamin. Benjamin told Tony he was now a Digidestined with a very important job; apparently the Digital world was going into a crisis and a SUDS official high in the ranks was not to be trusted. Tony and Lunamon were then teleported home to be greeted by Tony's outraged father, who thought Tony had disappeared. Meanwhile, Tai and Agumon got back from a night of partying. Tai complained that the package Makuramon gave him was missing. To make matters more complicated Agumon invited Sora to stay at their house. Can anyone say awkward?
Tony sat down in his desk a few minutes before class started. So far, 7th grade was kicking his butt. The early mornings, all the different teachers, no recess, all the homework, all the new hormones, no recess. Worst of all, it was Monday.
Tony had his hands holding up his head when he felt someone's fingers begin to run themselves threw his hair. It felt good, so he just stayed put… and hoped it was a girl. After a few seconds the person stopped and took the seat next to him.
"So where were you yesterday Tony?" His best friend Sam asked him.
"Oh, hi Sam. I was home. Sorry I couldn't play soccer with you yesterday. Did you miss me?" Tony smiled warmly at Sam.
"Only a little, Tanemon missed Moonmon really badly though."
"Those two are inseparable," Tony agreed.
"Yeah, so what's your guy's excuse."
Tony wanted to tell her everything, he always did. She would always listen even if she pretended not to care much. However he had a promise to keep. Do not tell anyone about this, not even your closest friend or family. At least he could tell her half the truth.
"My Dad got mad at us for not showing up for dinner," Tony said.
"So he kept you inside for a whole day? That seems extreme."
"Well, we showed up hours late."
"Why?"
"Um, Moonmon and I just… See Moonmon got distracted by something or other, you know him, always off to find something new. Anyway-" At that moment, some boy in their first class accidentally pushed one of Sam's books off her desk. That was fine, it happens, but he didn't even apologize for it. "Hey," Tony addressed the boy, "aren't you going to at least say sorry?"
Sam usually just lets the small things go, but Tony was taught from an early age to always do the right thing.
"What are you five?" The boy mocked, causing his friends nearby to laugh. At this point Sam sighed, now she had to clean up the mess, that in her opinion was started by Tony. After she said some choice words to the boy, he cowered away, causing his friends to laugh at him instead.
Sam shot Tony a not so pleased glance to which he just shrugged. Sam was always backing him up when he would pick a fight, which was more often then she thought necessary. Tony however was committed to justice, plus he thought they made a good team.
"Okay so Moonmon-". Tony couldn't finish his story after this most resent eruption. The teacher walked in and immediately jumped into lecture. This was much to the relief of Tony because he didn't want to have to feed Sam more half lies.
Tony could tell this lecture was going to be boring and pointless so he watched the Digimon playing in the yard from the classrooms window. While the kids were in school, their Digimon got to run around outside all day. He tried to spot Moonmon in the chaos but had no success in the endeavor. He imagined that Moonmon was telling all his friends how he had Digivolved into Lunamon and fought Allomon. That was cool. Finally though, Tony's thoughts drifted to his Dad's lecture the other day. It had been eating at him.
Flashback
Tony was sitting on his bed in his room fiddling with a book. Moonmon was still fast asleep from last nights, or rather yesterday… or, whatever time it was, excursions. Tony could hear him under the bed, snoring. Then his dad quietly opened his door.
"Hey, Tony. Mind if I talk to you?"
"I don't care," Tony said, trying to sound as if nothing was wrong. His dad sat next to him on the bed.
"Listen kiddo, I'm really sorry I yelled at you. I just-"
"Your just really concerned for my safety and you care about my well being, I've heard it before."
"Just listen, please? I was just scared that's all. I know I can be a pain sometimes, and I know I'm more…"
"Stricter then other dads?"
"Yeah. Tony losing your mother was… it was really hard on me. I just don't want to lose you too. Do you understand where I'm coming from?"
"I guess." Tony hadn't really looked at his dad all this time. Truth was he hated it whenever his dad talked about his mom. Tony just wanted to forget. He was four when she died. Apparently someone shot her. For what? Tony had no idea.
"So where were you anyway?" Tony hadn't really come up with a lie yet, so he just shrugged.
"Tony, its okay, I promise I wont get mad, just tell me where you were." Tony stayed still.
"Tony is something wrong? Should I call the police?"
"Nothings wrong." Tony's dad sighed in frustration.
"Should I ask Moonmon?"
"No. He wouldn't know."
"Know what Tony?" Tony laid down on his bed.
"Can you just leave us alone? We're fine." Tony doubted that would make his dad leave, but then he felt the bed shift as his dads weight left it.
"Tony you can talk to me anytime. You know that right?"
"Yep."
End Flashback
Now, Tony just wondered if he could keep this secret for much longer. His over protective father was suspicions and Sam had a way of coaxing things out of him if she wanted.
~Tai's Housing Complex UN~
Tai felt his eyes slowly begin to open. Pain started to throb in his head at the same time.
"Ow," he said to himself. He really needed to stop getting hung over. He looked over at the clock. 10:30 am… that meant he had slept for a good 20 hours or so. After a minute or so he frantically got up. He needed to attend the next security council meeting. Plus with the sun network treaty signed things at the 'office' were going to be a bit hectic. Fortunately the meeting wasn't for another two hours. He had time.
Forcing himself out of bed he opened his door and began to walk down the hallway. Breakfast came first in the morning for him. He somehow managed to stumble his way into the kitchen with his eyes half open and open the frig. Tai heard what sounded like the chewing of cereal behind him at the bar. He ignored it assuming it was just Agumon. His brain wasn't working at all right now, so he just stared aimlessly into the depths of the frig, his mind trying to remember why he would be looking in there in the first place.
The chewing became louder and more annunciated, bringing his attention back to it. It sounded as though Agumon was trying to get his attention or something. It was to early in the morning (or rather his version of morning) for this. He was beginning to get annoyed by it.
"Agumon would you keep it down." No reply. At least not with words. Agumon made an over dramatized clearing of the throat. It didn't sound like Agumon though. No ignoring it now. Tai stood up and turned around.
It wasn't Agumon. It was a woman. A rather attractive one at that. Tai blinked once. Did he sleep with someone last night… he didn't think so. He had left those to sluts at the door. Then she spoke, a very familiar smile on her face.
"Good morning sleepy head," she said happily. Tai was startled as he realized who it was. He ended up jumping back into the frig.
"Sora? What-I?" The previous days conversation slowly came back to him.
"You never were a morning person were you," Sora stated giggling a little with the spoon in her mouth. Tai just stood there with his mouth open. He was fully awake now. "So do you always sleep in your boxers?" Sora said looking him up and down.
Tai looked down at himself. He was practically naked. And at this time in the morning (again his version of it) his boxers didn't hide much. Tai flipped out and ran back into his room to put some cloths on.
To say he was embarrassed was an understatement. She didn't even say hi the moment he walked out. She just, let him do his thing. On top of that she saw him like this. Of all people it had to be her. His old friend from a past life. At least it seemed like another life. Tai shook the thoughts from his head and threw on some pans and a shirt. Then he walked back into the kitchen area.
"I forgot you were coming," he said as indifferently as possible to Sora.
"Is that how you greet your old friend?" She said, sounding a little hurt.
"So your way was better?"
"I guess you have a point there."
"So its been a while."
"Well, it has only been about three months since the group photo, of course we didn't really talk there. You left so quickly."
"I'm a busy man Sora."
"You don't look like you're a busy man," Sora said laughing at her own attempt at humor. Tai just ignored her and got himself breakfast. Sora wondered if she had offended him. "Its okay that I'm here right? Its no trouble, I can find another place to stay if you want. But please don't make me Tai, I want to be here.
"Its fine, its was just a little short notice. Sorry I couldn't clean the place up first."
"I'm sorry, its just that my business thing came up so fast and-"
"Its fine Sora." With that comment it was awkwardly quiet for a few minutes. Tai made himself toast while Sora finished her cereal.
"Do you mind if I go shopping for some more food? Your cupboard is getting empty," Sora asked attempting to break the ice.
"If you want to. Usually the UN just keeps it stalked, but if you want that's fine with me."
It grew silent again. Sora began to wonder if he really was okay with her being here. Sometimes she got the feeling that he had purposely ignored all the Digidestined for years at a time. It bothered her that after they graduated high school Tai basically just shut her out of his life. She would see him here and there from time to time, at reunions, or for the Digidestined's semi-annual update on the SUDS.
He also showed up briefly at her wedding to her now ex-husband Matt. He didn't want the best man position, but of course he was still invited. He wasn't at the reception though, something that to this day she couldn't understand.
Why did she and Matt separate? Matt was often gone doing a number of things… the Mission to Mars for example. Around the time he came back, both of them were having a hard time really connecting anymore. They began to blame each other for everything wrong with their relationship. In the end they both decided to take a break, it was for the best.
Agumon came back to the apartment around the time Tai had gotten out of the shower.
"Hi again Sora. How was Tai this morning? He's up isn't he?"
"Hi Agumon. He didn't remember I was coming."
"I'm sorry, he can be like that at times. Did you guys talk at all?" Agumon asked hopefully.
"Not really," Sora said looking bummed out.
"Give him time, you two just need to remember what it was like to be friends." Sora smiled at him.
Tai walked out of his room with a suit and tie on. He needed to be at the meeting chamber in half an hour. Suddenly, something pink in front of him caught his eye. A rather large bird stared up at him.
"You're here too?"
"What did you expect?" Biyomon asked him, sounding insulted. Tai just grunted and walked passed her.
"Agumon are we ready to go?" Tai asked him, walking into his office.
"Yeah. Gennai is on the line for you."
"What's he want?" Agumon just shrugged. Tai nodded and closed the door.
"Do you two have to go to the UN today?" Sora asked Agumon.
"Yes we do… actually you can come if you want to. You know, because you're a Digidestined and all. I think I could get you a spot just behind Tai, me, and a few other VIP's." Sora laughed. "What's so funny?"
"I just never imagined you and Tai in politics a long time ago."
"Neither did we," Agumon said and they began to laugh together.
"I would love to come sometime, but Bi and I have some business to do. Please do offer again though."
"I will!"
Tai sat behind his desk talking to Gennai through his ear piece. "Okay, I'll be sure to inform them of that… good… okay. Oh, and Gennai, um, I seemed to have miss placed the package… yeah that one… I know… I know… Okay… Yeah Sora is over here… she's good. I think she's here for business… … … I'm sorry could you run that by me again? Tai was sitting straight up all of a sudden.
"Tai, I know it's somewhat vain-"
"Some what vain! We spent, or at least you spent years defeating those genocidal freaks, and now you want to work with them?"
"Just Metalseadramon Tai."
"So what do I tell the UN. Oh guys by the way, before we rap this session up I just want to inform you that we will be working with a mass murderer to help complete the sun network. I hope your all okay with that."
"Tai-"
"They will never accept this! Frankly I'm not sure if I can!"
"… You don't have to tell them. And Tai, its only MetalSeadramon. I believe we can control him. Puppetmon and Piedmon may have been psychopaths and Machinedramon way to destructive, but we can reason with Metalseadramon. We need him for this… Tai?"
"I'm here."
"It was the Sovereigns idea."
"Uh huh."
"Good luck today Tai." Tai took the ear piece from his ear.
"Is everything in order Tai?" Agumon asked pocking his head in the door.
"I'm in order. Whether or not our government is in order is a whole other story."
A little slow. I do apologize for that, but next chapter will be more… interesting. In fact I have a unique thing in store for you guys next chapter.
Resistance 3 anyone?
Again, the only way this story continues is if you guys review.
