Chapter 7

Capital Crisis, Part 1

"As we make our approach, the local time is 12:35 pm." The captain said as they began to land.

Brian nudged Victor who had fallen asleep. Victor woke up as the plane's wheels hit the ground. As they exited the terminal, Brian felt something in his bag move. He and Victor went into the nearest men's bathroom and opened Brian's bag. Tinymon and Ebidramon were hiding in his bag.

"Tinymon, what are you doing here?" He asked his partner.

"Ebidramon, I thought I told you to stay home." Victor scolded his partner.

"What?" Tinymon asked. "You don't think anyone else took their partners."

"Of course not," Brian told his partner. "Can you imagine trying to get something that looks like Numemon pass airport security?"

Just then, Levi came in and noticed the four chatting.

"I guess I should tell you something," he said as he opened his bag.

From his bag, DemiDevimon popped out.

"Hi," the bat digimon said.

Brian and Victor, with their digimon safely tucked into their bags, entered their hotel room which surprisingly was a lot more luxurious than they had anticipated. They saw the third bed in the room had some stuff already on it, meaning their roommate had already arrived. Victor walked into the bathroom and turned around and walked back out after closing the door. He looked rather nervous.

"You want to know who our roommate is?" he asked.

"Sure," Brian said curious.

"Jessica," he answered. "She's taking a bubble bath…"

"And?"

"She's…" Victor said making nervous gestures.

"Well-built? Good architecture?" Brian suggested.

"Yeah," said Victor agreeing.

Just then Jessica walked out of the bathroom with two towels. One of them was wrapped around her hair. The other was wrapped, rather provocatively, around her. She smiled when she saw them.

"Well, I see my request was agreed to." She said.

"You wanted us in your room?" Victor said surprised.

"Of course. See, I could get my own suite but the school says I have to have two room mates. I was given a strange choice of you and Brian, or Heather and Levi. Personally, I preferred you two idiots. I might be able to get along with you two better than I would have been if Heather and Levi were here. I would have had to have Renamon delete that disgusting partner of hers." Jessica said with a smile. "Besides, I was able to get Renamon to digivolve into Kyubimon before we left."

About an hour later, Victor was heading down to get a bite to eat when he saw Brian with a duffel bag begin to walk out of the hotel. He stopped him at the door.

"Where are you two off to?" He asked.

"Oh, Tinymon wanted to see the sights and a Big Mac with large fries and a Large Coke," Brian said. "Looks like someone else would like to go with you."

Brian pointed behind Victor and he turned to see Heather waving at him with her pink duffel, presumably with Numemon in it. Victor turned to look back at Brian to find he was already gone. Silently he cursed Brian and turned to look at Heather. She walked over to him with a smile on her face.

"So what do you want to do today?" She asked.

The next several hours would be the happiest of Victor's life.

At a shop, Brian bought some new cards he had thought about getting. As he left the store, he looked into his bag and noticed a pair of goggles. Pretty much, the rims and strap were jet black.

"I didn't want these," Brian said as he got into a taxi.

At the Lincoln Memorial, Brian glanced around to make sure no one was around and he opened his duffel bag. Tinymon popped out and landed in Lincoln's lap.

"Who's this guy?" he asked.

"Tinymon, that's the sixteenth president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. At the time of his presidency, he was forced to defeat the Southern states in the Civil War. They revolted because they thought he would have freed the slaves," Brian told him.

"Slaves. I didn't know," Tinymon said.

"Shortly after the end of the war, he went to a theatre where a man shot him. He died sadly," Brian told him.

As Tinymon leapt off of Lincoln, a sonic blast struck the statue's head. The stone head shattered and fell to the floor. They turned to see the ram digimon they had met before standing before him. An army of digimon were behind him. Brian's D-Ark beeped and the info from him came up.
