The Big Date!
It was the next day and Guilmon was at his hideout. Takato, Henry, and Terriermon were also with him as they watched him pace around the room nervously. At one point, the lizard walked into a wall without realizing it. It was only six and poor Guilmon had 2 more hours to go before Renamon would show up.
"Calm down boy. One more smack against the wall and you're gonna faint before she gets here." Takato chuckled
"Oh I'm sorry, but i'm so nervous!" Guilmon was panicking. "I need bread, but I can't have bread, but I need it, but I can't..." He kept repeating as an obvious sign of anxiety.
"Someone knock some sense into him" Takato said dryly.
"If I do it can I use my sense stick?" Terriermon said excitedly as he picked up a stick from the ground. Takato and Henry shook their heads. "Hmph! No fair." He said as he crossed his he turned to Guilmon "Moumantai Guilmon. Everything will be fine."
"I'm sorry Terriermon, but I'm so nervous." Guilmon laid down on the floor.
"You'll be fine." Terriermon assured him. "And besides me and Lopmon are coming with ya. Just don't expect us to stay the whole time."
"Oh ok." Guilmon said, feeling somewhat better and got up. "I have a date with Renamon! I have a date with Renamon!" He kept repeating while running around. He even did a handstand walk.
Takato sweatdropped at what happened. "I guess he's not so nervous anymore." as he did his akward smile.
"Guess not." Henry said while smiling awkwardly.
"Can I knock some sense into him now?" Terriermon asked while holding the stick from before.
"No!" The two boys yelled.
"Fiiiiiine!" He crossed his arms. "You guys are no fun." He complained.
Meanwhile at Rika's House...
Rika was in her room reading when all of a sudden Renamon appeared."Rika will you do me a favor?" Renamon asked.
She put her book down."You want me to lie to Impmon and tell him you re out somewhere else in case he comes here and asks for you." She responded.
"It's like you can read my mind." Renamon joked. "Will you do it?"
"Sure. Besides I like pissing him off." She chuckled."It's fun." And she continued to read her book.
"Rika!"
"What?" She asked innocently. "I was joking. I thought it would make you laugh." She said while still reading.
"Well...It didn't...well maybe a little" She said as she laughed slightly.
"If you say so." Rike got up and and put her book down. "I'm gonna go get something to drink. Want anything?" She asked the kitsune.
"No thank you."
"Alright then. I'll be right back." Rika said as she left the room. As soon as she was out of sight Renamon picked up the book she was reading.
"How to score a man in ten days." She read from the book with had a surprised look on her face. ("Rika? Reading...this?!") She started laughing, but not loud enough for Rika to hear. "Hm, she's halfway through the book." She skimmed through a couple pages. "Well." She sighed. "There's nothing else to do..."She looked outside the room to see if Rika was anywhere in sight."So I guess I'll read it." Then she disappeared with the book in her hand.
"I'm bac-" Her voice trailed off when she saw that Renamon was gone. "I hate it when she does that." She mumbled under her breath. Although, now that she was gone, Rika could read her book in peace. "Don't tell me i misplaced it!" Rika yelled as she was searching all around her room for the book. "Ugh. Whatever." And she then pulled out another book, "How to control your anger." She read from the book. "I DO NOT HAVE ANGER ISSUES!" she yelled across the room.
"Yes you do, now read your book sweetie." Her grandmother said as she walked by her room . "I didn't buy that book for nothing."
"Fine." and she just started reading. Meanwhile with Renamon...
She was reading on top of the roof."Hm it says that I should play hard to get...not that I want to get his attention." She mentally slapped herself for even thinking about...well you know who. Before she knew it, Renamon already finished the book, but she wasn't keeping track of time as she was reading. It was now 8:30 and she was just finishing up the last sentence.
"Renamon?" It was Rika. She came outside to check on her digimon. "You know you had a date thirty minutes ago right?"
"...Damn it." She dropped the book and quickly shifted towards Guilmon.
As the book fell from the roof Rika caught it. "So you had my book all along." and she went back inside the house and continued reading.
With Guilmon
Guilmon was more of a nervous wreck than ever. "She stood me up didn't she?" He asked Takato sadly as he banged his head against the wall.
"Don't say that." It was Lopmon. She joined them an hour ago. Although it was hard for her to leave Suzie, she knew she would be alright because Calumon was taking her place for Ms. Pwetty Pants. Poor thing.
"Yea if she's not here in ten minutes...then she stood you up." Terriermon remarked. Lopmon just gave him a smack on his head. "What?" She just shook her head. "Ok, ok if she's not here in 20 minutes, then she stood you up." He turned to Lopmon and gave her a thumbs up."How's that?" He asked, but she just glared at him. "Well sorry for tryna help a pal!"
"Now, now boy just calm down." Takato spoke up. "I'm sure she had a perfectly good reason for being late."
With Renamon outside on a branch.
She was praciticing her excuse as to why she was late. "I'm sorry i'm late. I was reading a book." She slapped herself lightly. "OH that's new, reading makes you late to anything!"
Back with Guilmon and friends.
"Now calm down, or else I'll have to make Lopmon pimp-slap you." Terriermon said.
"Terriermon!" Both Henry and Lopmon yelled.
"What?" he asked innocently. "I was tryna make him laugh." Guilmon growled at him. "Moumantai!" Terriermon said nervously as he hid behind Henry.
"That's what you get for saying pimp-slap." Henry remarked
"But you're the one who taught me what it was."
"Uhm..." Henry was speechless and everyone just stared at him.
"Uh...anyway..." Takato started. "Maybe me and Henry should get going." He started walking out the gate and Henry followed. "Have a good time boy."
"and watch over Terriermon." Henry said. Making Lopmon giggle, and they left.
"What if she doesn't come?" Guilmon asked sadly. "What if she thinks I'm a big los...sniff...sniff." He kept sniffing. "It's her! It's her! "It's her!" He yelled out of happiness.
Terriermon smacked him with a stick. "Get a hold of yourself mon!." He then turned to Lopmon. "How was that? I used my sense stick!" She just shook her head.
Renamon peeked her head through the entrance. "Guilmon?" She called out sweetly. "I'm so sorry I'm late...I uh...Rika...she...uh..oh! She had me train for extra 30 minutes." She lied as she entered the hideout. As she approached the group, she placed her paw on guilmons cheek. "You understand right?"
He couldn't even move after feeing her touch on him. "I...I...I.." was all he could say.
"I thought she was dating Impmon." Lopmon said under her breath to Terriermon.
"I thought so too." He mumbled, but Renamon, having the sharpest senses, heard them.
"Oh well you see, things aren't going to well with me and him." She lied, but she fooled everyone by frowning. "I want to take the chance to date other digimon." She looked and pointed at Guilmon. "That one in particular."
"...I...I...I.." Guilmon repeated. Terriermon gave him a light slap on the leg using his ears. Then he snapped back into reality. "huh? Oh yea. Renamon, dear, do you mind if Terriermon and Lopmon come with us?" He asked politely.
She was shocked at his words and tried to keep from blushing. No one has ever called her that before. In fact, no one has ever called her something so sweet like that. Not even Impmon. The only thing he would call her was 'fox-face' or 'toots'.
"Renamon?" Guilmon asked, she was just standing there with her mouth open.
She snapped back into reality. "Oh it's ok they can come." She felt slightly embarrassed for looking like an idiot. The fox then turned to Lopmon. "Lopmon, it's good to see you." she smiled.
"Same here. It's nice to go out instead of staying home all the time." She said. "But don't worry. Terriermon and I won't be staying long." She nudged Renamon and winked. "So you'll have plenty of time with Guilmon here."
"C'mon let's go." Guilmon said as he grabbed her paw. They left the hideout and Terriermon and Lopmon followed after them.
"Where are we going?" Renamon asked. She noticed Terriermon and Lopmon were going in different directions. "Where are they going?"
"Well they're gonna join us later, but right now I wanna spend time with you." He said coyly. "heh, you wanna know something?"
"Hm?"
"I think deep down, you might like me and not think I'm all that bad. You just don't want to admit." and he grinned widely.
Renamon has a nervous look on her face and ended up giving him a light smack on the head.
"Ow!" He groaned. "Did I say something wrong?" He asked innocently.
"No,you didn't." She said as she gave him a sincere smile.
"Why is it just me, or is Renamon here smiling?" He teased as they continued walking.
She just laughed. "Oh hush, I smile...when I want to."
He laughed. "The only time you do smile is when you're beating digimon up." he joked.
"And you smile when you see bread." she laughed.
"Of course!" he laughed some more. "It's nice to see ya laugh Renamon. You're always so serious when we're all together."
"Well I don't want to ruin my reputation of being the toughest digimon, but I do have a sense of humor."
"Y-you do?" Guilmon couldn't believe that she had one since she was always so serious. "Don't tell me you're the type who reads the jokes from Popsicles sticks and thinks they're funny."
"What? o-of course not." She hesitated. "They're n-not even f-funny." ("Guess that means I can't tell him the jokes I learned.")
The pair continued to walk around the park for a bit and the awkward atmosphere from earlier began to dissolve. They had been talking comfortably for a bit until Guilmon stopped abruptly "Well, we're here." He said as they approached a secluded area of the park.
"But it's empty here." She said as she looked around in confusion.
He laughed a little at her reaction. "That's why we're going through there silly." He pointed to an opening in the bushes. She looked at him skeptically, but follwed him anyways. When they went through she saw a table, two chairs, and a candle. Next to that she saw Terriermon and Lopmon. Terriermon had drew a mustache on himself with a sharpie.
"You know that's permanent, right?" Lopmon whispered to him.
"...Dang it!." He tried to rub off the sharpie, but no luck. "I was just trying to look cool for you."
"Aww.." She cooed. "That's such a lie." She said sarcastically and gave him a whack on the head.
"Ow!" He yelled as he rubbed his head. "Well I WAS trying to look cool." She just shushed him. "Theyr'e coming." She whispered as Guilmon and Renamon approached.
"Guilmon, You did all this... for me?" Renamon asked. She couldn't believe it. Guilmon of all people, no all DIGIMON had done something this sweet for her. She was expecting something bread related or maybe a kid's arcade. "I guess you're not as immature as I thought." She said to herself.
"Takato helped me." He admitted proudly. "Do you like it?" The fox next to him nodded her head in response.
Terriermon interuppted them. "Bounjour! I weel ve your waitehr!" he spoke in a very bad French accent. Then he turned to Lopmon. "How waz that my cherie amour?"
"You're supposed to be Italian." She remarked, as she put her face in her paws.
"Am I ever going to impress you?!" He said bitterly. "Ahem, Ey it's about a time you got a here." He said in an even worser Italian accent. "Bring out thee spaghetti and thee meatballs." Right on cue Takato came out with a plate of spaghetti.
"What's spaghetti?" Renamon whispered to Guilmon. "That doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard before."
"I don't know...sounds like a type of bread."
She laughed at what he said. "You and your bread."She looked at the plate."It looks like hair mixed with..." she poked the food. "..blood."
"Don't be silly." Lopmon said. "It's noodles and tomato sauce."
"Well now that you say that it sounds better." Guilmon said trying not to drool in front of his date. "Renamon, you can have the first bite".
She nodded and took a bite. "Mmmm it's good." Renamon said as she pushed a meatball in his direction. "Try some."
And with that he ate some. ("Alright Guilmon, do what you saw in that movie. If I eat the same noodle she eats then we'll kiss!") He thought to himself excitedly.
There was no luck with the noodles though. They had already finished and no kiss. Last night when Lopmon told them her idea, she mentioned something about "Lady and the Tramp" but of course Guilmon had no idea what that was. So she made them watch a movie, and that's where he got his 'spaghetti kiss' idea.
("Aw nuts, it didn't work.") He frowned on the inside. "Hey uh Renamon? Wanna...uh...I mean do you want to..." he was too nervous to finish.
"Go somewhere else?" She finished his sentence. He nodded. "I'd like that." She said as she got up. Guilmon got up as well and turned around to signal everyone to give them privacy, and they did so. Guilmon led her up a nearby hill and once they reached a good spot, they laid down.
"This is where I come to think." Guilmon said as he looked up at the night sky.
"That's funny, I never took you for a thinker." Renamon said jokingly as she also admired the view from above.
"Sure I do! I think about bread, playing tag, chasing stuff, cardboard boxes..."She just looked at him blankly and hoped he was kidding. It took him two seconds to realize what he just said. "Ahem, that's someting I would have said if this was two years ago, but I'm mature now!"
"Oh really?" She laughed softly. "Then what do you think about?"
"Oh that's easy! I think about how lucky I am to be back here." The lizard replied back happily.
"I do the same on Rika's rooftop." Renamon admitted. "It's relaxing to just have time to think to yourself and the view is wonderful too."
Guilmon nodded in agreement as they both continued to stare at up the sky peacefully. He found himself feeling less nervous than before and more comfortable being around the fox next to him. ("Wow. I can't believe I'm this close to Renamon and it's not because we're fighting an enemy.") he thought blissfully to himself. ("Someone pinch me, I could just die!")
As much as Renamon hated to admit it, she was actually having a pretty good time. ("Wait a minute what am I thinking?!) the vixen shook her head softly and tried to convince herself she was having a horrible time. The problem was that she wasn't at all. (This is probably the nicest thing any mon has done for me and to top it all off he's not as annoying as he used to be.") Renamon finally decided to let her guard down and fully enjoy herself tonight. ("Besides its not like I'm ever gonna do this again after tonight") she thought rather sadly as she suddenly realized there was another mon waiting on her.
"Whoa Renamon!" The lizard exclaimed excitedly. "Don't those stars look like they make out two rabbits?"
The fox looked up for a bit before answering. "I was thinking more like two digimon engaged in combat and fighting to their death." She answered plainly. "See, that one is about to have their data loaded for not being fast enough." She stated as she pointed towards the sky.
Guilmon laughed heartily at her response. "Always thinking about fighting." He teased.
Renamon shrugged. "What can I say, it's a fun hobby." She said rather smugly as she remembered how much she enjoyed it.
"Well..." Guilmon began, "You sure are a real good fighter"
Renamon was used to compliments like these so she thanked him and smiled. "You know...I always used to be so envious of you for being so naturally strong." The fox admitted shyly.
"Me?" The lizard asked in disbelief. "Sure takatomon made me out to be strong but you're way more skilled and faster!"
Renamon chuckled softly and was pleased with his reply. "Well...if you say so." She said coyly.
"Hey!" He whined, "you just wanted an ego boost!" The two of them laughed for a bit before Renamon spoke up.
"Guilmon, I can't believe I'm saying this but you're quite easy to talk to." Renamon admitted as she sat up to face the lizard. "I'm having a really nice time."
He sat up as well to face her. "You mean it?" Renamon nodded. "Wow I'm glad! I'm having a nice time too!" He said happily.
They continued to admire the starry night as they pointed out what kind of shapes they saw the stars make out. Their responses were so different from one another, but that's what made it so amusing. The atmosphere was quiet for a while until Guilmon decided to speak. "So...what do you and Impmon talk about?"
His question caught her off guard as she widened her eyes. "Excuse me?"
"I'm just curious..." He said rather shyly. "Do you do stuff like this?"
Renamon thought long at hard about it, and couldn't think of a clear answer. "I really can't remember these days..." She confessed. "We used to have some serious talks back then, but not so much anymore."
"So why did you like him?"
"He was one of the first ones besides Rika I was friends with." She explained as she looked up the night sky again. "And he needed me."
"I needed Takato too but you don't see me dating him."
Renamon was surprised at guilmons sudden bluntness and faced him. "Where is this coming from?" She didn't need him to make her second-guess her relationship with Impmon! They were doing fine together...or so she thought.
"I'm sorry, Renamon its just..." His voice trailed off for a bit before he continued. "I just think about how nice it would be, if you were with me instead."
She was completely speechless. "I wasn't expecting that." She admitted.
"Why not?"
"You're so young. You don't know what you're talking about." She said softly.
He sighed. "I knew you would say that. I know i'm not the brightest digimon out there, or the most mature, but I know what i'm saying." He was quite upset and she could see that. "I'm not the same naive Guilmon I was three years ago! I grew up a lot!." He tried to keep his voice down.
She took a quick glance at him and saw that he was right. He had grown taller, almost her height! His baby face matured and his voice had too. "I'm sorry. You're right. You have matured."
He came closer to her and kissed her cheek. "G-Gui-Guil-" Renamon din't even get to finish becasue at that point, he kissed her on the lips. At first she was shocked, but after a while she returned it. This was a new feeling and she quite enjoyed it. They kissed for sever minutes before Renamom broke it off. "I...uh...I have to go." She said as she got up.
"Wait! Did I do something wrong?" He asked sadly and got up after her.
She looked back at him and smiled. "Of course not, but I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Promise?"
"I never break one."She smiled at him and he smiled back. Before she left she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek then she left.
Soooo how was this updated chapter? I personally felt the original was too rushed and wanted to add some more interaction between them! If you're reading again for the first time then leave some feedback~
