"Have you ever wondered if you have been a part of them in the first place, what would happen?" Demi-veemon asked.

Davis paused in her studies and looked down. "I think that it will be fun, being with more people usually means that I can have someone to talk to."

"I mean how would you deal with the tensions with the group. You remember yesterday, just because Li joined, Brad became more irritable."

Demi-veemon using Brad's name showed that he was serious about the subject. Davis shrugged. "That was just a small fight. I'm sure things will get better, they always do."

Demi-veemon shook his head, that was a very Davis-like answer. "Then what about Kari?"

Davis focused in the papers in front of her but she knows that all concentration has been lost the moment Demi-veemon brought Kari up.

"What about her?"

"Didn't you say that something is going on between you two?"

Davis placed her pen down and leaned back, her chair creaking. "It's my fault in the first place, she stopped talking to me, I got jealous and we fell out."

"Just like that?"

"Just like that. You saw her, she looks so happy with her new friends. I'm just Davis, Kari's former friend."

Demi-veemon pouted, he had not expected the simple question to cause such harm and now Davis is sulking.

"Hey, I got an idea." Davis looked at the jumpy digimon. "We can go on a control tower destroying spree in the digital world!"

"And why should we do that?" Davis liked the idea but she still has homework to do, though, being able to ditch it all would be nice.

Demi-veemon grinned at Davis. "It could be like a partners bonding trip, ever since the friend stealer and Li joined, we don't have much time together."

Davis nodded, finding some truth in his words. Taking out her digivice, Davis pointed it to the computer.

The arrived in a forest, the lush green trees and bright sunlight made the visit even more enchanting.

They can even feel the cool breeze blowing and Veemon smiled at Davis. "Am I good or what?"

"You made us arrive here?" Veemon continued to preen and Davis laughed. "That's good of you, Veemon. Thank you."

Veemon looked around the place, as if searching for something important. "What's up Veemon?"

"Well, I had arranged a place for us to have a picnic but I can't seem to find the place." Davis hummed, wondering what Veemon has install for her.

"I brought these from my family's convenience store, you want some?"

Davis hears a familiar voice. "Is that the digidestined?" Veemon opened his ears to listen to the conversations.

"Oh, is that what I think it is? A chocolate covered rice ball?" Veemon cringed at that. "I haven't had one since I was a kid, I love them."

"That sounds disgusting." Davis laughed, for Veemon to say that, must be something.

"You won't know until you try it Veemon, who knows, maybe it'll be better than my dishes."

Veemon gasped. "No way! Davis's cooking is the best of the best! No way some rice ball is going to take that place!"

Davis leaned out of her hiding spot to see the digidestined having a picnic as well, the various dishes each of them brought and the expressions of pure joy on every one of their faces.

"Maybe I should rethink my ideas of staying away. They look like they're having fun." Davis looked at them with longing.

Veemon was deep in thought, maybe he can help Davis join them, but it might make things worse. "Why don't we go to our spot?"

Davis nodded, time away from them sounds better than staying and being jealous. 'I really need to stop letting my emotions control me.'

"I want to have whatever Armadillomon is having." Hawkmon pointed at the dish in his hands.

"Coming right up." Armadillomon took a roll in his hand and threw it, ignoring Cody's cries.

Hawkmon missed the roll and went to get it while Yolei runs after him. "It's just a California roll."

0000

They walked further away from the group, Veemon's nose being their guide. "I don't understand, I was sure I had asked for a place…"

They had been walking for a longer time than expected and Veemon is starting to feel bad for giving Davis false promises.

"Yolei? Hawkmon? Where are you two? Come back?!" Veemon's ears sharpened at a sudden scream.

"Did you hear that Davis?" Davis nodded, it sounded like that pink coloured hair girl from before and they ran to the place.

They entered a clearing. There is definitely something wrong with this. They could not see anything out of place and the digital world always have something out of place.

Davis took a step forwards but Veemon's voice stopped her in her tracks. "What is it Veemon?"

The blue digimon sniffed the area, pointing to an empty space afterwards. "There's something wrong here, like… Something is alive there."

"It could just very well have been the earthworms Veemon." Davis sighed, walking closer to the place but with a pinch of caution after Veemon's warning.

After feeling around the area, Davis stood back up. "Now I just feel stupid, Veemon. Let's check another area-"

Davis fell into a hole, Veemon jumping after her and both landing on a group of Otamamon and Gekomon.

Yolei caught a glimpse of the new additions before being dragged into the bushes. Similarly, Davis spotted Yolei and dashed away under the protection from the kicked up dust of the rampaging digimons.

"Mimi, I hate to break your reunion but did you not see the other human earlier?" Yolei asked, that was an unexpected visitor.

Mimi stared at Yolei, eyes still blurry after the tearful meet up. "Not really, you might have just been seeing things Yolei."

Yolei smiled and nodded, hoping that it was true and that Flamedramon does not belong to anybody she knows because she suspects the Flamedramon still holds a grudge from when Halsemon attacked him.

Palmon then broke the hug. "Enough reminiscing, we've got trouble in the night forest. The digimon emperor has taken control of all the Gekomon and Otamamon."

"I know, we have to destroy the control spire. No problem, compared to getting a taxi in New York, this will be a piece of cake!"

Palmon thanked Mimi with another hug and Yolei carried Hawkmon. "We can't do this alone, we need everyone on board here."

Yolei took out her digivice and sent a distress signal to the rest of the digidestined, which they received but the weak signal slowed them down.

0000

Davis's digivice beeped at the distress signal and she panicked. "Cover it, Davis!" Veemon hissed, and Davis covered it with her hands.

"What are we going to do? What if did heard it?" Veemon tried to calm down the panicking Davis, she does want to join them but this is just too soon!

Veemon held Davis's shoulders, shaking her slightly. "Cam down, we need to stay level headed here!" Davis gazed into Veemon's eyes and nodded.

"Yes, yes. I need to stop panicking so easily…" Davis took deep breaths before continuing. "So, do they need help?"

"AH, ROACHES!" Davis flinched at the loud screech while Veemon winced.

"I think they do…"

0000

"Do you always argue?" Yolei asked from her position behind Mimi. The Roachmon brothers glared at them.

"The Roachmon brothers never argue!" Then they went back to discussing the various ways they can destroyed the two girls.

Mimi spoke up. "How about neither?" The Roachmon brothers was getting tired of the two girls' constant interference. "It was just a suggestion…"

When they finally agreed on an attack, Davis armour digivolved Veemon to help them.

"Veemon digivolve to… Flamedramon."

He stood in front of the 'Garbage Dump' attack and let his flames roared to burn the rubbish and the girls behind him stared at Flamedramon.

"Who are you?" Mimi asked and Yolei filled her in on the subject in question who was just easily swatting away the trash.

Flamedramon still kept his guard as the Roachmon brothers started chuckling and Yolei rolled her eyes. "Now what?"

Flamedramon felt himself getting hit on the back and fell to the ground in pain. A grand piano had fallen on to him and many more household items are raining down.

The girls carried their digimon and ran away while Flamedramon battled with the increasing weight of the piano.

"Yard Sale Bombs!" The Roachmon brothers shouted while Davis crept out of her hiding spot to help Flamedramon.

Davis told Flamedramon to dig a tunnel under the piano and de-digivolved him back into Veemon and digivolved into Flamedramon again when he was free.

"What do you think about those two brothers?" Davis asked, running beside Flamedramon who was tempted to just carry his partner.

Flamedramon sighed when he saw Davis's glare at his twitching hands. "They don't get along very well, unlike you and Jun."

Davis nodded, she had noticed the same things, now if only those girls can put that thought to good use.

0000

'I would be best friends with my sister if she was someone like Mimi.' Yolei thought, imagining the possibilities.

Hawkmon stared at Yolei with fear. "Yolei, I am sorry to snap you out of your daydream, but this is a rather precarious situation. Don't you think it is time?"

"Hawkmon digivolve to… Halsemon."

Halsemon carried Yolei and used "Tempest Wing" on the Roachmon brothers who took it head on and retaliated with numbers.

Halsemon kept dodging those attacks with finesse and Mimi realised how to use a disadvantage to their side.

"Those Roachmon does not seem to be too smart, you can use them to destroy the control spire!"

They ran to the spire to get their plan ready while the Roachmon brothers followed close behind with spite in their eyes.

Mimi directed the spotlight onto the Roachmon brothers who got blinded and could not aim their attacks and cracked the spire.

"Palmon digivolve to… Togemon."

Both Halsemon and Togemon took out the Roachmon brothers along with the spire and the Digimon Emperor started sulking at that, leaving the place for an early bedtime.

0000

Davis looked at the sky and sighed. "I guess the spire is destroyed already, there really was no need to help them, huh."

Flamedramon nodded and they both walked away from the place. "What… What is this?!" They had reached an unusual lake with a weird tree near it.

This place had no control spires but the sky got a lot more darker than before. "Davis, stand behind me, I won't let you get hurt."

Davis nodded, keeping an eye out from behind her partner and a voice made her flinch. "Well, well. I don't believe that we have met…"

The tree was talking, it had a few baby digimons below it and they were squealing at the newcomers.

"I think that you should back off first." Flamedramon growled, this digimon might be under the digimon emperor's control for all they know.

The tree laughed. "You two are just adorable. Don't need to worry, I don't have any extra accessories on me."

"And your name is?" Davis asked, no need to be rude to someone who has not attacked them within three seconds of meeting.

"Cherrymon, what about the two of you? I have yet to meet a digidestined for a long time."

Davis tilted her head, she had heard once from Tai about the digital world and a similar tree had almost once destroyed him.

"Flamedramon and Davis. You do anything to my partner and you will not be seeing the light of day." Flamedramon hissed, nothing about this place feels right.

Davis gulped at the darkening gaze of Cherrymon but it disappeared as fast as it came so it almost felt like it was never there in the first place.

"Excuse me, Cherrymon, do you know where we are?" Davis asked, considering how Flamedramon is content with just glaring at the digimon.

Cherrymon looked around and realisation dawned on him. "Well, I actually have no idea…"

Consecutive facepalms from both the baby digimons and Davis echoed in the place. "You see, I was trying to get these children back to the primary village and I must have gotten lost along the way."

Davis glanced at Flamedramon who was shaking his head. "No Davis, we don't have to help the suspicious digimon. We need to go home now."

"Oh, it's okay if you don't want to help. I understand… I'll just have to go back by myself, taking care of all these children, by myself."

Flamedramon's fists lit up in flames, eyes blazing. "Are you kidding me? Now you're just trying to guilt trip us!"

The baby digimon started wailing, eyes in tears and Davis was trying to comfort them. "Don't tell me you are going to fall for this."

Davis gave Flamedramon a strained smile. "I'm sorry? I just can't leave a defenceless digimon by themselves you know?"

"Yes, I know everything about it." Flamedramon deadpan and glared at Cherrymon. "My threat still remains."

Cherrymon nodded. "Of course, no one would want their friends to be in danger. It's just a distance over there after all." Cherrymon pointed at the smoke rising from the forest.

"I thought you said you were lost?" Cherrymon sweated at Flamedramon's accusations and Davis smacked his head.

"You have to give some credit to Cherrymon, he has not done anything wrong."

"Yet."

"Flamedramon!" Davis knew about how protective her partner was of her but she had not known that letting Flamedramon meet him would amplify that overprotectiveness.

0000

The journey to the primary village was a short one, as Cherrymon had said. They just had to escort the tree and his children pass a river and over a hill before a clearing was seen.

"Wow! This place is beautiful." Davis's breath was taken away at the sight of a small village with baby digimon playing around in the park.

Cherrymon took the lead and introduced the duo. "This is Davis and her partner, Flamedramon. Both of them are digidestined."

That took the attention if the baby digimons, they crowded Flamedramon and Davis, asking questions to the two.

"So this is your motive, you slick digimon…" Flamedramon said, the usual tinge of anger gone, replaced with exasperation.

Davis smiled at the baby digimons, happy to talk and play with them while Flamedramon turned back into Veemon, shocking them.

They had a day's worth of digimon preschool and the activities they held taught the digimons more about the human world.

A buzzing from the nearby television brought their attention back to the darkening night sky. "Davis… Home… Dinner… Hurry!"

Jun's voice came through the television and Davis gave the sad baby digimons a sheepish smile.

"Sorry, we have to go now." They started crying and Cherrymon sighed in slight regret.

"Come on now, Davis and Veemon will come back soon. For now, let them go home." Cherrymon held back the baby digimons as Davis and Veemon waved them goodbye.

"Sorry about ruining your bonding day, Veemon." Davis stared at her partner with guilt shining in her eyes.

Veemon smiled at her, teeth showing. "There's no way for any bonding days I make be ruined because, everyday I spend with you is a bonding day to me!"

As usual, do tell me if there is anything I did wrongly and comment any names you want Female! Daisuke to have since some of you don't really like Davis
