Chapter 8: Bizarre Sisterhood

The next day, Gatomon and BlackGatomon took it upon themselves to tell everyone about their run-in with Daemon. Agumon wanted to explain, too, but he could not get a single word in edgewise. Everyone from the DigiDestined, old and new, was there, being told about what had happened. Even Mimi and Palmon were there, visiting from America (the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave!).

"So, let me get this straight," Mimi yawned, experiencing major jetlag. "This whole time, Gatomon has had a sister?"

"Yep," Kari nodded.

"And she was a slave to Daemon?" Palmon asked.

"'Slave' is a bit of a strong word," BlackGatomon smiled awkwardly.

"But yes," Mikemon added.

"And you're the boyfriend?" Palmon pointed to Mikemon.

"Yes, indeed!" Mikemon smiled proudly. "There isn't another pussycat for me out there."

"Aww, baby!" BlackGatomon hugged Mikemon affectionately.

"Does this mean Kari has two partners now?" Sora asked. Everyone turned to Kari, who smiled awkwardly. She wasn't entirely sure herself. However, she felt that BlackGatomon would make almost as good a partner as Gatomon.

"I guess so," Kari decided. "If BlackGatomon wants, of course."

"Heck yeah!" BlackGatomon exclaimed.

"Oh, no fair!" Davis complained. "Why do Kari and TM get two partners while the rest of us only have one?"

"It's TK! Tee-Kay!" TK said slowly and earnestly. "I don't have two partners."

"Ahem!" Patamon cleared his throat and gestured to Mikemon, who gave TK the irresistibly cute kitty eyes (those never fail).

"Well, I mean, not yet anyways," TK scratched his head. "What do you say, Mikemon? Would you like to start working with us?"

"Yeah, please! That'd be great!" Mikemon accepted.

"Yay!" Patamon cheered excitedly. He had grown fond of Mikemon rather quickly and found a good friend in him.

"Cat eyes; don't leave home without them," BlackGatomon muttered triumphantly.

"Well, our little DigiDestined family keeps getting bigger," Yolei smiled.

"Just so we're clear, I am not a turtle!" Armadillomon emphasized. He was not planning on going down that road a third time.

"Prodigious! Both of them digivolved at the same time? Reacting to the same Digivice?" Izzy was so astounded he could not get past that part of the story.

"I'm not sure if they reacted to my D-3 or if my D-3 reacted to them," Kari confessed. It was a little confusing. The D-3 started glowing when Gatomon told BlackGatomon that she didn't hate her and that they were sisters. Then, they digivolved.

"Izzy, don't wet yourself," Tentomon advised, seeing his human partner getting excited.

"I'm not going to wet myself! Who do you think I am?" Izzy asked rhetorically.

"Either Izzy or Lance Armstrong," Tentomon answered. That response made everyone laugh. "Ah, if only I had said Buzz Aldrin. I look up to that guy!"

"You look up to a lot of people," Izzy pointed out.

"It's never over until the fat lady sings and the skinny lady takes a bath! Finally, I got a word in!" Agumon yelled triumphantly.

"He's so silly," Gatomon mumbled.

"A few words," Tai pointed out.

"Everyone's so excited about our two new friends," Biyomon remarked.

"Yeah," Palmon nodded in agreement.

"When does the skinny lady take a bath?" Gabumon asked quizzically.

"He was the second man on the moon!" Tentomon exclaimed ecstatically, referring to Buzz Aldrin. "His nickname is Buzz! I buzz! It makes sense, right?"

"It does!" Wormmon nodded. "I see the connection."

"…I don't get it," Veemon announced in a rather clueless manner of speaking.

"Buzz Aldrin wasn't Japanese," Hawkmon pointed out.

"So? He still walked on the moon!" Tentomon countered.

"Touché."

"Walking on the moon," Matt looked up at the sky. There was a determined look in his blue eyes.

"Ah, so that's what you want to do with your life," his younger brother slyly noticed.

"B-back off," Matt muttered.

"Ah, don't be like that! Going to space is a great dream to have," TK said.

Gatomon pulled Patamon aside from the rest of the group so they could take in private. They rolled down a small, grassy hill together, laughing when they reached the bottom. Gatomon eventually stopped laughing and said, "Patamon, I want to thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Patamon asked as he looked his lover in the eyes.

"I want to thank you for they advice you gave me about dealing with my sister," Gatomon explained. "You're the best boyfriend ever. You know that?"

"Aww!" Patamon blushed. "That's sweet of you to say."

"It's only the truth!" Gatomon remarked, stating her very firm opinion.

"Gatomon, you're making me blush!" Patamon giggled, trying to hide his reddened face with his paws.

"And that's only how you react to the truth," Gatomon giggled at her silly boyfriend. Patamon was such a sweet, silly, fun, cat-loving Digimon who Gatomon felt blessed to have and call her boyfriend. "You know, I would have lost it on her if you hadn't talked to me. I don't even think I would've been able to be as open-minded as I was when we talked in the shower—"

"You two took a shower together?" Patamon asked.

"Not the point," Gatomon replied. "Anyways, I used to think of her and me as two sides of the same coin. Now I think of her and me as two separate coins, because now we can see eye-to-eye and come together. I feel like you helped us get there. She and I; devil and angel; a pair of sisters. Some people probably find that to be a bizarre sisterhood, but I don't care. She's great, now that I know her a little better."

"I'm glad that you're happy, sweetie," Patamon held Gatomon's paws. "I'm glad that I was able to help, too."

"I love you, Patamon," Gatomon confessed.

"I love you, too, Gatomon," Patamon replied.

The two of them gazed into the blue eyes of the other. Patamon was gazing into the beautiful sapphire blue eyes of Gatomon. Gatomon was staring into the friendly sky blue eyes of Patamon. Their faces inched closer and closer to each other. Finally, their lips made contact, and they held a deep, long, passionate kiss as they sat together at the base of the hill.
