Boys side
All the boys had taken off their clothes and jumped in the hot springs. Cody had wrapped a towel around his waist, until he got in the water.
"Come on Cody, there aren't any girls here, no one cares enough to look at you there anyway." Tai said reassuring him.
"Nope, not taking any chances…" he replied as he wadded to a secluded corner of the springs.
"He really is just like Joe, he did the same thing at Devimon's mansion last time remember?" Izzy points out.
"I thought that was TK?" Tai asked.
"Nope, that was Joe. Matt made me get in first because he thought I was shy." He replied.
"Awww wittle TF is scaredy cat." Davis teased in a baby voice.
"Davis, 1, being scared is different from being shy, 2, I was 8 and half the stuff there was terrifying to me, including some of my friends… and 3 ITS T-K!" he pointed out to him.
"Wait… who was scary?" Izzy asked him.
"Uh, I'd rather not say…" he replied sheepishly as he lowered his head into the water, blowing bubbles.
"Tell us, or I'll show Kari that picture of you sucking your thumb" Tai threatened with a grin.
"OK OK! I was scared of… Mimi and Sora…" he admitted.
"Why were you scared of them? If anyone you should have been scared of Joe, he's not exactly the coolest person in the world..."
"Getting back to TC, why were you scared of them?" Davis asked.
"Not saying… and how much brain power does it take to remember T-K?" he answered.
"Thumb sucking" Tai warned him.
"ALRIGHT! I was scared of them because they were girls…" he answered shyly.
"Because they were girls? What's that gotta do with anything?" Izzy asked.
"I was 8, when your 8 girls have coodies."
"Ah. But wait, if you were scared of girls, why weren't you scared of Kari?" Tai asked, almost knowing what he was going to say.
"Well…" he started to blushing.
"I can answer that… He was totally in love with her so he wasn't scared of her in the least." Izzy answered for him, which in turn made him blush again.
"HEY!"
"Oh come on we all heard it when you yelled it at the pool." Cody pointed out.
TK just blushed and lowered his head in the water even lower so only his hair was only visible while the other boys just laughed. Little did they know that an old friend wasn't far from them.
"Huh? Oh hey guys over here!" the boy called from across the water.
Everyone turned their attention to the voice and were shocked to find out who it was.
"WILLIS!" the all cheered.
"Willis what are you doing here in Japan?" TK asked as they all swam over to him.
"Well I'm here to visit you guys, and apparently someone's in love with Kari" he joked at TK which, in turn, made blush again and the boys laugh again.
"Well actually, I'm dating Kari now, so as Davis would say it, KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY GIRL!"
"Aw, oh well I guess that leaves Yolei for me!" He said almost as happy.
"Sorry, but she's dating me, so hands of Lover boy." Davis said, surprisingly jealous.
"Is there any girls here that you guys aren't dating?"
"Well, Mimi is single. But Matt just dumped her like an hour ago. So I don't believe she'll be up to date anyone anytime soon"
"Oh, then I guess I'll just have to get a girlfriend in Colorado. By the way can I crash with you guys tonite? The hotel I booked won't have my room available till tomorrow."
"Sure, most of the Digdestined are spending their time at mine and Kari's apartment since her birthday was a few days ago"
"Oh yeah, Izzy emailed me about that a few months ago. That's also the other reason I'm here cause I have a present for her too"
"Really what is it?"
"You'll see…"
Girls side
Sora, Mimi, Kari and Yolei had all wadded into the hot springs and were now at neck level with it.
"Ahh this feels SO good. I haven't been I a hot spring in years." Mimi cheered.
"And one so big, I mean Tai wasn't kidding when he said it was the size of a lake." Kari added.
"Well, may I be the first to say that this is so relaxing!" Yolei said happily.
"Yeah, I mean this is probably the best hot spring I have ever been in." Sora cheered.
"So anyway Mimi, what are you gonna do now? Are you gonna give Izzy a chance?" Kari asked.
"Well Kari I'm not sure… I mean, he's really nice and smart and cute but… I just don't think that I can handle a boyfriend right now. What if he tries to break up with me like Matt did?"
"Oh come on, your pretty, your kind, your sincere, and you'll be the first girl that techno geek ever dated, he'd be crazy break up with you"
"You do make a good point there… maybe I should ask him out tomorrow, I mean what have I got to lose?"
"That's the spirit, good for you Mimi" Yolei cheered for her.
"Hey guys, why don't we play a little game of truth? The guys can't hear us over there so what's the harm?" Sora suggested.
"I'm in" Said Mimi
"Me too" Kari followed.
"Me three" Yolei added.
"Alright then, remember that any questions we ask are gonna be about our boyfriends… or Mimi's case, Izzy."
"Kari you pick the first question." Said Yolei.
"Ok, um… what was the nicest thing your boyfriend has ever done for you?"
"OH, OH me first! One time when Tai and I were little kids like 8 or something, He and I were playing in the park. I was wearing a new pink t-shirt and a white skirt my mom just bought me. We were playing tag and I was chasing him, then I triped and fell in a puddle of mud. He asked if I was ok, I told him I was fine but my mom was gonna kill me for messing up my new clothes. That's when Tai had an idea. He pulled me over to the lake and told me to jump in. I didn't know where this was going but I did as he said. After I came out of the lake he told me to go behind a bush and take my clothes off. I told him forget it. But then he said he'd give me HIS clothes while mine dried in the sun. I asked him if he was sure about it, he said "Your my best friend Sora, and best friends would do anything for each other if they needed it". So I went behind a bush and so did he and I took and put on his usual blue t-shirt and brown shorts, all Tai had on was his underwear and his goggles. I said "Tai this is probably the nicest thing you have ever done for me, thank you so much" and then I hugged him but he lost his balance and we fell to the ground, but we just laughed about it."
"Wow did anyone see you two?" Kari asked.
"Well, Matt did, he was walking through the park with TK to take him home and he saw as and exploded laughing when he saw me in Tai's clothes and Tai half naked. TK just turned around."
"That mom of his sure taught him well didn't she?" Kari joked. Everyone laughed.
"Anyway Kari it's your turn, what's the nicest thing TK's ever done for you?"
"Well, there were a lot of nice things he's done for me, like that time I got stuck in the world of the dark ocean. But that's not the nicest thing; I think the nicest thing he ever did was that time in the digital world when I got sick and Tai went off to find some medicine. He never left my side even for a second, and when we got separated from Sora and got trapped in that sewer, he gave me his backpack to sleep under and, though he'd never admit it, he even tried to wake me up with a kiss like in sleeping beauty. And he had no idea I was awake when he did that and to this day he still doesn't. It was the sweetest thing he ever did for me." She said sighing with happiness.
"AWWW, THAT'S SO ROMANTIC!" Yolei squealed.
"I can't believe he'd do that for you!" Mimi cheered.
"Well anyway it's your turn Yolei"
"Oh yeah, well the nicest thing Davis ever did for me was… uh… wow, I don't know, up until this afternoon we practically hated each other…" she said, kind of depressingly. "Oh I got it! Well one time in 2nd grade, there was this bully that was in 5th grade. He always picked on the little kids, mainly me. He also picked on Davis a lot too. One day, he had herded me and him into a corner. He was about to hit one of us, when Davis stood up and kicked his… unmentionable spot. He then told me that I was safe now. I thanked him for that a million times that day, all he did was blush and say I was welcome. I'll never forget that day… " she said happily.
"What happened to make you 2 hate each other?" Kari asked confused.
"Well, the day after, Davis learned from his sister that girls have coodies and he started making fun of me. Then I punched him in the stomach and then the fighting began."
"Wow, so that's why Davis hated you so much" Sora says shocked.
"Yep, anyway Mimi, your turn."
"Ok, what was the nicest thing Izzy did for me? Hm… oh I know. It was during our first encounter in the digital world after vile island had split into a bunch of pieces. We were trying to find a way to find the others. We found this cave and we went in its entrance. And, like usual, he just sat down and started typing stuff on his computer, plus he kept ignoring me. Son I got made and ran into the labyrinth and I started to sulk and tentomon came with me. Unfortunately the cave was guarded by Centarumon and he was under the control of a black gear. So he started chasing me and Tentomon until he got us cornered. Then Izzy burst through the wall with Palmon and she and Tentomon destroyed the black gear and he returned to normal. He then helped me to my feet and hugged me, apologizing for ignoring me. He would not shut up. So I kissed him and he fainted." She said with a smile.
"Aw, Izzy DID have his first kiss, I guess I owe Tai 20 bucks…" Sora sighed.
All the girls laughed.
"Well, let's get back to the game shall we?"
"Ok" they all answer.
