"Family Picnic"
Please enjoy and review!
Jun was humming happily as she packed some food into a bag while Daisuke carried three cans of soda in her arms over to the table.
"Okay, let's see. We have sandwiches, sodas, chips, rice balls, fried shrimp. Are we missing anything?" the girl asked.
"I don't think so. I mean, the others are bringing food too, right?" Jun asked her sister.
"Yeah, but the digimon eat a lot too." Daisuke reminded.
The magenta haired girl snickered at that as she spun around, her green plaid skirt swishing with her movement.
She had a white tank top on with a black choker with a diamond was around her neck.
"I'm so excited. This picnic is gonna be so much fun! Are you sure the others are okay with me coming?" Jun asked.
"Yeah, I already told them you were coming. They're all for it." Daisuke assured.
"Good. I can't wait to see the Digital World. I've been dying to see what it's like." Jun smiled cheerfully.
Guilmon was at the counter eating a peanut butter and banana sandwish, smiling happily as he waited in anticipation for the picnic.
"It's gonna be fun. Going to the Digital World to take in the sights and enjoy the day instead of worrying about fighting that creep." Jun said as she zipped up the bag.
"Yeah, this'll be fun!" Guilmon giggled.
Grabbing one of the bags, Daisuke pulled out her digivice and checked the time on the screen to see when they should leave.
"Come on, we need to meet up with the others at the school." the child of Harmony said.
Guilmon quickly wolfed down teh sandwich he was eating and then pulled on his jogging pants and sweater while Jun grabbed her bag.
The dinosaur ran over to the door as the sisters slid on their shoes, Jun grabbing her house key in case Tamaki and Narumi weren't home by the time they got back.
"All right, let's go." Jun said.
The trio then left the appartment and headed off down the stairs into the lobbey, spotting Kari waiting on them.
"Hey, Kari!" Daisuke called making the girl turn and smile at her.
"Hey, Daisuke, Jun. So, you ready to go to the Digital World with us?" Kari asked the magenta haired girl.
"I can't wait! Come on, let's go." Jun smiled cheerfully.
Walking out of the building, the girls and dinosaur walked down the street to their destination spot near the school to wait on TK, Yolei and Cody to arrive.
"Man, where are they?" Daisuke pouted.
"Aren't the others supposed to be here?" Jun asked.
"Yeah, they're late." Kari said.
"Daisukemon, I'm hungry." Guilmon whined.
"Guilmon, you ate before we left the house." the mahogany haired girl sighed as Kari and Jun laughed.
"Hey, here they come." Kari said when she saw Cody, TK and Yolei running over to the trio of girls.
"What took you guys so long?" Daisuke asked.
"I stopped by a drinking fountain to give Poromon a bath. It's a long story." Yolei said.
"So, Daisuke, is this your sister?" Cody asked.
"Yep, that's me. I'm Jun Motomiya." she grinned.
Everyone could easily tell the girls were related because they had the same colored eyes and the same smile.
"Hello, I'm Cody Hida." the boy nodded at the teenager.
"Hey, come on. Let's go inside." TK said.
The boy pushed the gate open and the group all walked into the yard, making sure no one spotted them.
Walking inside the school, the group then ran up the stairs and then made it to the computer lab, Yolei sliding the door open as she walked inside.
"Wow, this place hasn't changed at all." Jun commented as she looked around.
Patamon, Gatomon, Poromon and Upamon were freed from the bags they were stuffed into and jumped out while Guilmon pulled off his disguise.
"All right, I got us in. Am I the best or what?" Yolei gloated.
The door was then slid open making everyone gasp and stare at the pink haired teenager who stuck her head into the room, everyone going silent.
"I'm sorry, but are you supposed to be here?" the pinkette asked.
Jun, Daisuke, Cody, Yolei, Guilmon, Upamon and Poromon all stared at the girl in shock, afraid that they had been caught.
"Mimi!" TK, Kari, Patamon and Gatomon all smiled making the others look at them.
"Mimi?" the group asked.
"Um, TK? Kari?" the pink haired girl asked.
"Yep." the two friends chirped.
"Daisuke, Jun, Yolei, Cody, I want ya to meet someone. This is our friend, Mimi. She's one of the original Digidestineds who moved to America." TK introduced.
"I'm Mimi. I've set my sights on success in the fashion world of New York City. Don't think I'm just a strawberry blonde beauty who knows she's beautiful." Mimi grinned at them.
"Hi Mimi, Sora told us all about you." Yolei greeted.
"I spoke to her. She told me about you too." Mimi walked over.
"Hi, Mimi. I'm Daisuke and this is Jun." the girl smiled.
"Sora told us about you. She sai dyou moved to New York." Jun said.
"Right, I remember. You're the Motomiya sisters." Mimi smiled at the two girls.
"Gatomon, Patamon, how have you been?" Mimi asked the digimon.
"Other than being stuffed in a knapsack like a wet towel, fine." Gatomon said.
"It's so good to see you. When did you get back?" Kari asked.
"This morning. I was passing by the school and just had to take a look for old time's sake. I just walked in the front gate. Someone left it open." Mimi smiled.
"That was us. We had to sneak in since the school was closed. We all decided to go on a nice Saturday picnic to the Digital World." Daisuke informed.
"Digital World?" she asked surprised.
"Maybe Mimi can come with us." Yolei suggested.
"I haven't been there in so long. Do you think it could be okay?" Mimi asked.
"Of course! Perfecto, now let's go!" Yolei exclaimed happily as she raised her hand in the air, finger pointing.
"It'll be great to have you with us." Jun said to the pinkette.
"Thanks." Mimi said.
Everyone then pulled out their digivices while Jun wrapped her arms around her sister's shoulders as light filled the room and everyone was sucked inside the computer.
The group then landed softly on their feet in a forested area where there were tall trees and beautiful flowers growing.
"Hey, look around. There isn't a control spire in sight." TK glanced around.
"How cool. I'm back. The Digital World hasn't changed." Mimi smiled.
"Wow, it's so beautiful here." Jun said as she looked around in awe.
The group then set off into the forest, looking for a spot to set up their picnic blanket so they could eat.
As they did so, Jun and Mimi started talking, both girls getting along as if they were best friends.
Their talk was light and playful until they suddenly got to the subject of the bane of the Digital World.
"Digimon Emperor?" Mimi asked.
"Mm-hmm. Daisuke told me about him. He's this total creep who thinks he owns the Digital World. Lately he's been building these control spires to help him take over an area." Jun explained.
"So, if there's no control spires, are we safe?" Mimi asked.
"Yeah, that's why we picked this spot to go on our picnic." Yolei explained.
"Gee, we never would have thought about having a picnic here in the old days because we'd be too worried about giant sized, digital ants." Mimi joked.
"So far, every time we've come here, it's been to destroy a control spire, but since it's Saturday, we thought we'd just come here to have some fun." Yolei said.
"Okay, so, where is that guy who's been playing Romeo to my baby sister?" Jun asked.
Everyone froze at that while a certain child of Harmony blushed at that.
"What?" Cody asked.
"Oh, you know. The guy who always shows up to help you guys out." Jun said.
"Oh, you mean Ryo. I'm not sure where he is. He just shows up." Kari explained.
The child of Light was mentally smirking at the way her childhood friend was blushing at her sister's teasing.
"Oh, so tell me more about this guy?" Mimi asked looking amused.
She could see the way her new friend's sister was blushing and the romantic inside of her was cheering.
"Can we drop this?" Daisuke snapped.
The girl didn't want to be teased anymore about Ryo, she got enough of it from Jun when she told her who gave her the sweater.
"We should pick out a spot around here to lay out the picnic blanket and dish out the food." Cody spoke up, changing the subject.
"Sounds great." TK chirped.
"This place looks good." Jun said as she pointed to an area near a tree where the sun was shining down.
"Perfecto!" Yolei chirped.
(Afterwards…)
"I brought these from my family's convenience store. You want some?" Yolei asked as she pulled something out of her orange duffle bag.
"Ah, is that what I think it is? A chocolate covered rice ball. I haven't had one since I was a kid. I love 'em!" Mimi gushed as she accepted the dessert while the others laughed.
"What'll you have?" Yolei asked Hawkmon.
"I'll have whatever Armadillomon is having." The bird said.
Across from him, Cody was sharing his bento with Armadillomon, the Rookie munching on his California roll happily.
Everyone else was eating their own food, Guilmon wolfing down the chips he was given.
"He's eating sushi." Yolei informed.
"Excellent. I'll have one sushi please." Hawkmon requested politely.
"Comin' right up." Armadillomon picked up a roll and held his arm up, about to pitch it.
"No, never throw food." Cody protested.
His efforts were too late since Armadillomon already threw it and the roll fell onto the ground and started rolling away.
"Oh! Come back little sushi!" Hawkmon flapped as he chased after it.
"Wait, Hawkmon, come back! It's just a California roll!" Yolei called as she ran after him.
"Yes, well, it's rolling all the way back to California." Hawkmon commented.
Mimi watched them run off with a worried look in her eyes.
"Guys, I'm gonna go with them." Mimi stood up.
"Oh, hang on. I'll come with you too." Jun said as she stood up.
"All right, be back soon." TK said.
"Be careful." Daisuke told them.
"Hey, this is me you're talking to." Jun winked at her sister before she walked off with Mimi.
The two 14 year olds then walked off into the forest to search for the duo of Love, making sure they hadn't gotten lost.
"Hey, Yolei! Hawkmon!" Mimi called.
"Hello? Hey, guys, where are you?" Jun called as she looked around.
As the two girls walked along, the ground suddened moved under them revealing a hidden trapped door and the doors screamed as they fell through.
When they reached the ground, both girls were knocked out upon impact to the ground.
Daisuke suddenly gasped as her head picked up and she looked around.
"Hmm? What is it?" Kari asked as she set her soda can down.
"I don't know. I have a bad feeling." Daisuke said with narrowed eyes.
Meanwhile, Jun laid on the ground unconcious, her eyes moving her her lids when she suddenly heard voices.
"Jun? Are you all right?" someone asked.
"Mim, is she going to be all right?" another voice asked.
"I'm not sure. Jun, come on. Wake up." the first voice said again.
Moaning, chocolate colored eyes fluttered open and Jun found Mimi, Yolei and Hawkmon were both kneeling beside her.
"What happened?" Jun asked as she rubbed her head.
She looked around curiously and saw that she was in a different forest and it appeared to be night time with the moon up in the sky.
"Well, before I woke up, the last thing I remember is that I fell." Mimi said.
"We all did. Look at that." Yolei said as she looked off to the side making the rest of the group do the same.
The group then gasped when they spotted the tall black tower poking out of the greenery.
"What is it?" Mimi asked.
"Is that a control spire? But what is it doing here?" Jun asked as she sat up.
"That means the Digimon Emperor controls this area." Hawkmon said.
High-pitched voices were then heard murmuring as they got closer to the girls and Rookie making the group of four look off to see red eyes from the shadows.
"Something tells me those aren't taillights in a parking lot." Mimi said.
They stared off into the darkness and shook in fear as they saw that the eyes were getting closer.
Just then, two creatures jumped out of the bushes, one being a green frog with a yellow tuba around his neck and the other appeared to be a tadpole that was inky purple.
Mimi looked at them and smiled, relaxed when she saw the digimon.
"Princess Mimi, Princess Mimi." They chanted.
"Relax. They're just Geckomon and Otamamon." Mimi smiled.
"How do you know that Mimi?" Yolei asked.
"Because they're my friends." Mimi said.
"They don't look to friendly." Hawkmon said.
"Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those dark rings?" Jun asked as she pointed at the rings the digimon wore around their ankles.
The swarm of Geckomon and Otamamon all then jumped at the girls and Hawkmon which made then yell as they stood up and started running.
Crying out, Mimi tripped and fell down in front of us.
"Oh, gosh Mimi, if those are your friends, I'd hate to see your enemies!" Yolei yelled.
"It's not their fault." Mimi said sadly.
"Poison Ivy!" a female voice called out.
Vines then shot out of the trees and wrapped around the girls and Rookie making them gasp.
"Palmon?" Mimi whispered.
Then, just as the swarm came running over, the vines pulled the group into the bushes, safe from harm.
As the vines retreated, the group turned to see that their rescuer was a light green lizard type digimon with a large dark pink flower on her head with a tail and had dark green eyes.
"I thought you needed a vine." She said,
Mimi then had tears sparkling in her eyes and she was close to breaking out into tears when she saw the digimon.
"Ohhh, Palmon!" Mimi sobbed.
"Mimi." Palmon whimpered as tears streamed down her face.
The two females then ran at each other and hugged while Jun and Yolei watched, the lavender haired girl holding Hawkmon in her arms.
"I'm so happy to see you." Mimi sobbed.
"I'm happy to see you too." Palmon said.
"I've never been so happy in my whole life." Mimi sobbed.
"I never knew what happiness was until today." Palmon cried.
"Please stop it. If you get any happier, I'll start to cry." Hawkmon commented.
The duo of Sincerity tried to pull apart, but they seemed to be stuck, the pink haired stuck in the green and purple vines.
"I'm caught in your vines." Mimi said.
"I'm caught in your hair." Palmon said.
"On three. One, two, three." Mimi said as they both pulled apart, the girl falling onto her hands and knees.
"Enough reminiscing, Mimi, we've got trouble. This area is called the Night Forest and the Digimon Emperor is taking control of all the Geckomon and the Otamamon." Palmon said with her back to her.
"I know. We have to destroy the control spire. No problem. I've been living in New York. Compared to getting a taxi, that should be a piece of cake." Mimi chuckled as she stood up and pointed at the control spire.
"You're the best, Mimi." Palmon hugged her around the waist.
"We can't destroy the tower alone." Yolei said.
"Correct, we better contact the others and let them know where we are." Hawkmon said.
"Right." Yolei nodded.
"Do you think Daisuke and the others will find us?" Jun asked.
"Hopefully." Hawkmon said as Yolei pulled out her digivice.
"There's no answer." Yolei frowned sadly making everyone groan at their misfortune.
"No answer? We didn't even hear the question." Two male voices spoke.
Turning, they found two large roach digimon were crawling over to them, then stood up on their back legs, dark rings on their antenna.
"We hope we're not bugging you." they laughed.
Yolei, Mimi and Jun then shrieked at the sight of the two digimon.
"Ah! Roaches!" the girls shrieked.
"It's the Roachmon brothers!" Palmon and Hawkmon announced as they stood in front of the girls protectively.
"Hi, I'm Roachmom." the first greeted.
"And I'm his twin brother, Roachmon."
"I use my Garbage Dump attack to trash my enemies." Roachmon1 said.
"And I use my Yard Sale Bombs to wipe out my opponents and clean out my garage." Roachmon2 said.
"You mean that's all? I thought you said there was a bunch of kids." Roachmon1 glared.
"Sue me. I heard wrong." Roachmon2 glared back.
"Is it really that hard to write down a message?" Roachmon1 asked.
"Next time, you take the call." Roachmon2 retorted.
"Excuse me, but do you always argue?" Yolei asked.
"The Roachmon brothers don't argue, now stay out of this." They said.
"Sorry, go ahead." Yolei whimpered.
"I think I should use my Garbage Dump attack to finish them off." Roachmon1 suggested.
"That's rubbish. I'll just use my Yard Sale Bombs on them and we won't even have to bargain." Roachmon2 interjected.
"Better yet, how about neither." Mimi said.
"The Roachmon brothers are not gonna tell ya again. Stay out of this." They said.
"It's just a suggestion." Mimi pouted.
"What is with these guys?" Jun asked.
"I've got an idea, Roachmon. Let's use both attacks." Roachmon1 said.
"Roachmon, that's the first smart thing you've said." Roachmon2 complimented.
Using Garbage Dump attack, piles of rotting fruits, egg shells, noodles, ruined stuffed animals and all types of trash then rained down on us.
"That's it! This is a designer blouse!" Mimi glared as they snickered.
"Now what?" Yolei whined.
"Now we run." Jun yelled as the brothers used their Yard Sale Bomb on the group making them run off.
"Palmon, digivolve." Mimi said.
"I can't until the control spire is destroyed." Palmon told her.
"Boy, for brothers, they sure don't get along very well." Yolei commented as they heard the Roachmon arguing again.
She then thought about what life would be like with Mimi as her sister and she smiled dreamily with her cheeks tinted pink.
"Yolei, I don't mean to interrupt your daydreaming, but this is a rather precarious situation. Don't you think it's time?" Hawkmon asked.
"Right. DIGI ARMOUR ENERGIZE!"
"Hawkmon armour digivolve too…Halsemon: the Wings of Love!"
"Yolei, climb on my back." Halsemon said as he ran beside the girl.
"All right, let's go." Yolei said as she mounted the winged beast.
He then took off into the forest.
"Wow, that armour digivolving is so fashionable." Mimi said as she stared off at the digimon.
"Yeah." Jun nodded.
Halsemon took to the air and used Tempest Wing on the Roachmon, but they shook the attack off and then went in after Halsmeon and Yolei.
While chasing after the duo of Love, the Roachmon were quite destructive as they rammed into trees, kocking them over.
"That's it. I've got an idea." Mimi called.
"What?" Yolei asked.
"Those Roachmon don't seem to be too smart. We can use them to destroy the tower." Mimi said.
"Yeah, let's go do it." Jun nodded.
"All right, perfecto!" Yolei agreed.
"Come on guys, let's get ready." Mimi said as she, Palmon and Jun ran off to the spire while Halsemon flew over with the Roachmon following.
When the girls got to the spire, they found that there were large spot light and the girls then ran over to one and looked up to the sky to see the duo of Love flying over with the Roachmon.
Grabbing the light, the trio then turned it to face the roaches and shone the light in their eyes.
"Since these two aren't too bright…" Mimi trailed off as the roaches cried out as they were blinded.
They then fell towards the spire and hit it creating a crack in it.
"Now?" Palmon asked.
"Now." Mimi smirked as she nodded.
"Palmon digivolve too…TOGEMON!"
The Roachmon were stuck in the spire, so Togemon used her Needle Spray on them, Halsmeon used Tempest Wing on them.
The spire was destroyed and the Roachmon were freed from the dark rings.
Swooping back down, Yolei jumped off of Halsemon, who turned back into Hawkmon.
"Awesome work, guys." Jun smiled.
"Thanks." Yolei nodded.
"Now they'll be friendly." Mimi smirked.
"Yeah." Yolei smirked back.
"Last thing I remember, we were at the motel." Roachmon1 said.
"Yeah, we were out by the pool and you took my towel." Roachmon2 exclaimed.
"Well, you ate the little chocolate they put on the pillow."
"I put those chocolates on the pillow. I brought them from home."
Jun's eye twitch as she stared in disbelief at the way the digimon were fighting and felt relieved that she and her sister didn't fight as much as they did.
"From home? Those were my chocolates in the freezer!"
"Oh yeah? Well it's my freezer!"
"It's my house!"
"I'm paying rent!"
They then got into a fist fight while the three girls, the Rookie and Champion all sweat dropped at the sight.
"It just goes to show you. There are some families where they are better off having only one child." Yolei said.
"You're right, Yolei, and some cases like this one; they should have kids at all." Mimi commented.
"No kidding. Come on, let's go find the others." Jun said as the brothers flew off, still fighting.
"Here comes TK and the others." Yolei said.
"Guys, we're over here!" TK called as he waved at the group.
He was running over with the others along with the freed Geckomon and Otamamon which made the girls smile.
"Jun, are you okay?" Daisuke asked as she hugged her sister.
"I'm fine, Dais." Jun smiled as she hugged her sister.
Guilmon then giggled as he jumped on the two girls, sending them crashing to the ground as the dinosaur licked at Jun's face making her laugh.
"They told us you were back, Princess, but we didn't believe them." Geckomon said.
"Princess Mimi, we've been waiting for the day that you would return to us." Otamamon said.
"Mimi," Togemon called.
"Huh? Togemon?" Mimi asked looking at her.
"I will protect this area now. You can count on me." Togemon promised.
"I've always counted on you." Mimi said softly as she hugged the cactus' boxing gloved hand.
"Who is that?' Cody asked.
"That's Mimi's digimon, Togemon." Yolei explained.
"Wow, it's nice to meet you, Togemon." Cody smiled.
"Goodbye, Togemon!" everyone called as they walked off.
"Ah, don't make me cry. Rubbing my eyes hurts too much." Togemon joked.
(In the Human World…)
Once they were back in front of the school, the sun was setting and the group were saying their goodbyes to Mimi.
"Goodbye everyone. Thanks for a great picnic. Bye!" Mimi waved to the group.
"Oh, Mimi, I almost forgot. I wanted to say, when I get older, I want to be just like you." Yolei called to the pinkette.
She smiled at this, then pointed at the lavender haired girl.
"Perfecto!" Mimi used Yolei's catchphrase.
With that done, the child of Sincerity then walked off and Daisuke turned to her sister.
"So, how was your first day to the Digital World?" she asked.
"Well, it was pretty fun. Although, I could've gone without the garbage shower. I need a bath." Jun groaned making everyone laugh.
To be continued...
