New chapter hurray! And once again only after a few days. I'm on a roll. Or maybe because this one's pretty short, I'd like to apoligize for this chapter's shortness now, it's not that great either I had serious writer's block while writing this, I'll probably revise this later. Anyway this chapter gets a little - well you'll see when you read it, of course you'll probably see what's coming close to the beginning, it's pretty obvious. Anyway enjoy. By the way I'm apoligizing ahead of time for those Dawson's creek fans I may have offended.

Yeah yeah disclaimer, I don't own Digimon, this is just fan fiction don't sue.

Chapter 8: The Date


I slammed my first down, in total frustration.
"Nothing!" I screamed. "Just the same old stuff."
"You can't exactly expect a lot," Jenn said, looking over my shoulder at the screen. "Most of this stuff is only based on spectators who only saw the battle with Myotismon three years ago, you don't expect the Japanese Digidestined to actually go on the net and say what happened."
"No," I sighed. "But it doesn't hurt to hope."
Stupid Internet, whoever said you, could find everything on it never heard of Digimon. I'd been trying to find some information on the Japanese Digidestined since I woke up this morning, an e-mail address, a street address, a full name, anything! But I got nothing. Sure I got some stuff, I mean Myotismon's attack on Japan was public, so thousands of people had not only seen it but experienced it, including myself, but most of those people had no idea what was going on, they just saw a monster attacking them, so most of this was nut jobs claiming it was some sort of government conspiracy, or people claiming that it was all a hoax. There were dozens of forums debating the topic, those were the basic two theories on the net, there were dozens of sites but both had those basic theories. There was only one site that didn't, that site wasn't much help either, it just stated what happened, and gave the first names of the Digidestined, Tai, Matt, Izzy, Sora, Mimi, Joe, T.K, and Kari. That wouldn't help at all, their were thousands if not millions of kids around the world with those names, we'd never find the Japanese Digidestined, we'd have to rely on defeating Emily and Andrew on our own.
"Come on Kris," Jenn said. "We're not getting anywhere here, we better get going or we'll be late for school."
I looked over at the clock it was eight.
"Yeah," I said. "I'll do some more searching when I get home."
"Again?" Elecmon said. "You were searching all last night, then all this morning. Give it a rest all ready."
"We've got to get in contact with them," I said. "If we do winning the fight with Emily and Andrew will be easy."
"I guess," Jenn said. "But look, like I said, if we don't leave now we'll be late for school."
"Yeah you're right."
I closed my laptop, slipped it into my backpack, and then slung my backpack over my shoulder.
"I'll do some more searching at lunch," I said.
Jenn and Elecmon only rolled their eyes as we left for school.

I sat back in my chair in English class, I wouldn't call this my favorite class but it was better than biology. I least I understood what the teacher said, except when he read Shakespearean plays. Dan sat beside me now, he used to sit on the opposite side of the room, but now since we were both Digidestined he'd moved over here. It hadn't really done any good though, we never discussed battle tactics in class, and unless we were on the battlefield we never really got along.
"So found them yet?" Dan asked.
"I'm working on it." I said. "There's a lot of crazies out there who think it was a hoax, and others that think it's some government conspiracy trying to cover up the existence of aliens."
"I'm guessing 'no' then."
"Very good Sherlock." I said sarcastically.
Dan didn't hear me; he had focused his attention to the front of the room.
"Hey she's cute," he said motioning to a girl who had just walked into the classroom, and was now talking to the teacher. I'd seen this before, she was new and was alerting the teacher of it. Getting new students in this school wasn't uncommon. The teacher pointed to an empty seat, in which she sat down.
"I guess," I said agreeing subtly agreeing with Dan.
Actually my agreement was more than subtle she really was cute. She had long light black hair, which were tied up into two pigtails, tossed over the front of her shoulders, the colour was so light it almost seemed like it was almost blue, or maybe it was blue, a very dark blue that made it seem black. Her face had this weird quality; it seemed familiar, like I'd seen it before. Her body wasn't half as good looking as Janine's, it was good looking but not like Janine's, but that wasn't what made her attractive. There was something really weird about her, something that made her very attractive; I was almost drawn to her. I mean I still liked Janine, but Janine had made it clear that she just wanted to be friends. At least with this new girl I'd have a chance. You'd think with Janine rejecting me my confidence would be shattered, but actually it was the opposite, it just gave me initiative to try again, I'd ask her out after class. Elecmon and Jenn kept saying I needed a break from searching the net looking for the full names of the Japanese Digidestined this could be it. Before I could think of it anymore the teacher started the class, and reviewed book we were reading this month, until about thirty minutes into the class sent us off to split into groups of two to discuss it. Normally I'd be a partner with Dan, but I now saw this as a perfect opportunity to talk to the new girl, I'd have to ask her, her name. Dan began to turn his desk to me, but I stopped him.
"Not this time Dan, how about we try different partners." I said standing up and started moving towards the new girl.
"Oh I see," Dan said. "Go get her."
Why did he have to say that? Now I was even more nervous than I already was. Nervously I stepped up to her desk.
"Hi," I said shyly.
Why was I doing this? Am I insane? I was normally to shy to even look at a girl aside from Jenn, what had possibly driven me to do this?
"Hi," she said back casually looking up from the book the teacher had assigned us.
"Need a partner?" I asked.
"I was intending on working alone," she said coldly. "But if you insist."
I pulled a chair up next to her desk and sat down.
"So are you new?"
Why the hell did I saw that? Of course she was new.
"To the school, yes." She answered.
Okay that didn't go that bad, she didn't make me feel like too much of an idiot. Okay I might as well get it over with.
"So," I said. "Maybe some time tonight I could show you around town."
"I said I was new in this school," she said coldly. "I've lived in town all my life, I was just home schooled until now."
"Oh," I said even more shyly than I had before.
Great way to make yourself look like a total idiot, I could feel my face growing hot, not to mention the deepest shade of red you could imagine. However she didn't seem to be bothered by it. Her once cold expression changed. She grinned, almost an evil one, not unlike the one I'd seen Emily and Andrew give me several times before.
"You know if you wanted to ask me out you don't have to be so subtle about it. Just ask me."
"Okay," I said shyly with a bright red face. "Would you like to go out with me, sometime."
She kept that grin on her face. "Sure, how about tonight."
"Great," I said. "What time should I pick you up?"
"Don't!" she barked. "I-I mean, I'll pick you up, where do you live."
"Just a few blocks from school," I said. "On Thirteenth Street."
"Good," she said keeping that grin on her face. "I'll pick you up at seven."
"Sounds good to me too," I said. "By the way my name's Kris."
Her grin grew at that. "I'm Emmie."
I could only laugh nervously, at the fact that the last thing we mentioned was our names. At least tonight I'd get some get a break from the fight, one that I really needed.

* * *

"I hate wearing this," I groaned to myself.
"You want to look nice for your date don't you," Elecmon teased.
"Yeah, I guess" I said. "I just hate wearing these dressy clothes."
"It's not that dressy," Elecmon said.
"It is compared to what I usually wear, not to mention totally uncomfortable."
I looked at myself in the mirror; I hated looking like it even more than the uncomfortable reason. I wore a pair of black jeans, and a navy blue three-buttoned shirt with a collar. Sure I guess it wasn't that fancy, but I was used to wearing T-shirt and shorts, or tear-away pants in the winter. I rarely ever wore anything fancier than that, and I was very uncomfortable in these clothes, especially the jeans. I was even uncomfortable in blue jeans, they either ended being too tight or too loose, and these ones were no different.
"So when are we leaving," Elecmon asked interrupting my train of thought.
"We're not going, I'm going at seven."
"Come on," Elecmon begged. "Why can't I go?"
"Why do you think you can't go? How would I explain you to Emmie? Hi this is Elecmon, a Digimon a being from an alternate Digital universe."
"You don't have to tell her I'm a Digimon, I can just secretly follow you."
"I don't think so, a date something two humans go on to be alone."
"Alooooone?" Elecmon teased. "What do you think is going to happen on this date anyway?"
"Nothing," I immediately said incredibly nervous. "Nothing's going to happen it's our first date."
"Please, I know what you humans do on these dates, I've seen that river show."
"River show?"
"Yeah, you know that one on the channel with the dancing frog."
"Dawson's creek?"
"Yeah that's it."
"Elecmon I don't know if you noticed but that show isn't real, it's filled with nothing but stereotypes."
"They may be stereotypes, but they're based on some truths."
"Even if they are you know me well enough to know that I'm nothing like that."
Elecmon smiled. "Good point, just be careful out there."
"There's nothing to worry about," I assured him. "Emily and Andrew only attacked the real world once, and that was at least a month ago, I think I'm safe here. Don't be so -"
I was interrupted by a knock on the door; Elecmon immediately jumped onto my bed, let his body go limp and pretended he was a stuffed animal. Something he'd done several times before.
"Come in," I said to the person on the other side of the door.
The door opened revealing Emmie on the other side. I suddenly felt very over dressed. She was wearing the same casual clothes she had worn to class.
"Hi," I said. "My parents let you in?"
"Yeah," she answered. "Are you ready to go."
"Yep," I said. "What do you want to do tonight?"
"I was thinking of a movie, then one other thing."
"What's the other thing?"
That almost evil, yet very attractive grin spread on her face again. "You'll see."
"Shall we go?" I asked holding elbow.
"Sure," she said hooking her own elbow around mine a little too eagerly.
Before we left my room Emmie's eyes locked onto Elecmon.
"What's that?" she said pointing to Elecmon his her hand that wasn't locked onto my elbow.
"Nothing nothing!" I said. "Just a stuffed animal, I've had since I was a kid. It's got real sentimental value."
"Yeah," she said, I wasn't sure but I thought I sensed a little coldness in her voice. "Nice."
I lead her downstairs, where of course my parents embarrassed the hell out of me when my mother insisted on taking a few pictures. Finally we got out and to the theater. I sighed as I looked at the two choices at the theater. There was an action film, a romance or in other words a chick flick. I wasn't exactly a fan of action films, I preferred comedy and science fiction, but I'd rather watch that than a boring romance film.
"So, which movie do you want to see?" I asked fearing she'd say the romance, and knowing I was to nervous and shy to speak up and say I'd rather see the action.
"A pretty easy choice," Emmie said.
Great, like I thought now I'd have to sit through an hour and a half of a boring romance film.
"How about the action film." She said.
"You're kidding right?" I said happily.
"What you'd rather see a boring romance movie, those films are way too phony. I mean if you're going to totally deny reality you might as well make it exciting."
"No I'm just surprised you wanted to see it."
"Well I do, let's go."
She quickly took my hand and led me into the theater. Now this was a girl I could really get used to. I sat watching the movie for about an hour, at the moment the hero jumped from an exploding car. I guess it was exciting, if it hadn't happened ten times already in the last hour, like I said I wasn't a fan of action movies, but I guess this was better than the romance film. I could really feel myself growing tired, and began to stretch my arms. I froze seeing the look on Emmie's face, I'd made a mistake. Did she think I was doing the old stretch and place your arms around the girl trick. I wasn't! I was just stretching; before I finished stretching I dropped my arms back to the armrests. I took a quick glance at Emmie's face, to my surprise it wasn't a look of frustration, it was one of disappointment. As my arms went back on the armrests Emmie rolled her eyes, and grabbed my arm that was closest to her, and placed it around her shoulders, definitely not subtly.
"You really have to learn not to be so shy," she whispered as she snuggled up against my arm, and continued to watch the movie.
I could feel my face go red once gain, I felt a little uncomfortable, but I have to admit I really liked this.
The movie went on the same basic stuff. Vehicles exploding close calls, your basic action movie stuff, then your sappy ending that didn't really match the rest of the movie, the basic contents of an action movie.
"So," I said as we walked out of the theater. "The movie's over what was that other thing you wanted to do?"
"I'll show you," she said moving even closer to me. "We just need to go to a more secluded place. Somewhere we can be alone."
I smiled shyly, and meekly said. "Great."
Saying I was nervous would be an understatement I was practically shaking. Why did I have to be so shy? Why couldn't I just be like a normal guy and actually enjoy this, instead of being scared out of my mind that I was going to do something to embarrass myself. I felt even more nervous, as Emmie took my hand and sidestepped getting even closer to me.
"You're so cute when you're nervous," Emmie said with that trademark grin of hers.
"Is it that obvious," I asked.
"Yeah," she said. "But don't be, I don't bite."
"So were do are planning on going?"
"Come on follow me."
She ran ahead still holding onto my hand and dragging me with her. She led me down some familiar streets, and down to the beach.
"This is what I had planned," Emmie said. "A nice walk on the beach."
I breathed a sigh of relief I could handle that. Still clinging to my hand she stepped closer, so close our sides were touching. She began walking; I followed her lead and slowly walked beside her. She got even closer and let her head rest on my shoulder. I don't now why but I suddenly felt my nervousness fade away. I really liked it, now I was actually enjoying this, not that I wasn't before but now that I wasn't nervous I enjoyed it a lot more. As we watched it seemed to get dark almost instantly, and the beach seemed bigger than it was before, I couldn't even see where it began or where it ended even more. Not that big a deal it was probably just the mood that made the setting seem different. Another weird thing I noticed was that the water seemed almost completely black. Yeah it was dark, but there wasn't even any moonlight reflecting off of it. We walked for about ten minutes, which was really weird since it should only take five minutes to walk across the beach. Maybe it was just because we had been walking so slowly. She stopped suddenly, forcing me to stop. I tilted her head.
"You okay?"
"Yeah," she said.
"Why'd you stop?"
"So I could do this." Almost in a second before I had any time to react, she wrapped her arms around me bring my face towards hers and our lips touched, as she brought me into a passionate kiss. She held me tight, but she didn't need to, I wasn't resisting, I didn't want to. This felt nice. I felt her pry my mouth open
with her own. As the kiss deepened, I wrapped my arms around her waist, drawing her closer, as I did that one of her hands moved from the back of my neck and found a place on my knee. Now my nervousness was beginning to come back, I only grew more nervous as she moved it up my thigh, and it stopped in the middle of my thigh. Nervousness started to wrack my brain, as I begged in my mind, please don't let her put her hand where I think she's going to, I don't want to go that far. Lucky my prayers were answered, continued to move her hand up to my stomach and it finally rested on the center of my chest. After keeping it there for about a minute her hand was on the back of my neck again. As Emmie began hold me even tighter, I felt something tugging at my hair. I couldn't tell what it was at first, but after I heard it's chirping I could tell it was a bat. I had always thought it was a rumour that they had tangled in your hair. I took one of my hands away from Emmie's waist for a second to casually bat it away, and wrapped it around her waist once again. No sooner than I did two more bats started tugging at my hair again. Once again I casually batted them away, but no sooner than I got rid of them I could feel more than I could count not only tugging at my hair but everywhere else to. At that I had no choice to break the kiss, despite the fact that I really didn't want to.
"Sorry," I said as I smacked about a dozen bats away from my body, only to be replaced, by twice the amount that had been attacking me before. Before I could get rid of those ones dozens more started tugging at me, even more swarmed around me. That's when I noticed those weren't ordinary bats; those were the same bats that appeared when Ladydevimon fired her darkness wave attack. There were hundreds of bats now, and there were so many I could fell them lifting me off the ground. I tried to hit them away, but there was way too many of them, and all I could hear from Emmie was cold evil laughter, laughter I had heard all too many times before. It wasn't hard to figure out after that, Emmie was Emily! The suddenly disappeared but were replaced by something worse, I was now in being held in a chokehold by Ladydevimon, like I had with the bats I tried to escape but Ladydevimon was an Ultimate Digimon there was no way I could get out.
I stared down at Emily, still laughing evilly.
"That was way too easy!" she said as she took the colorful elastics out of her hair causing her hair to fall together, over her shoulders, the exact way Emily had worn her hair as the Digimon Empress. After she had done that she reached into her pocket and slipped her Digimon Empress goggles on, looking one hundred percent like Emily, minus the suit cape and suit she usually wore. Why didn't I see it? How could let her fool me like this? Her disguise was worse than Superman's. Pigtails and the lack of goggles had fooled me. This date had all been a plan to catch me, and the kiss had only been a distraction. I cringed at the thought of the kiss. I'd kissed the Digimon Empress! Not just a normal kiss either, a passionate open-mouthed kiss, I shuttered at the thought. The worst part of it was that I liked it! I shuttered again even more at the fact that I had liked it. My feet were free, I had one small chance, I kicked my foot up hitting the spot on thigh where my Digivice was in my pocket hitting the distress signal button. Ladydevimon only laughed at what she thought was an escape attempt.
"Go ahead and do it," I said. "Get it over with and destroy me."
Emily laughed with that evil grin that I'd seen all night and had once thought was cute. "I have no intention of destroying you. You're the perfect bait for your teammates, plus like I said at the lake I've got plans for you."
"What plans?" I asked.
Ladydevimon lowered us so I was at Emily's eye level. Emily walked up to me and stood directly in front of us.
"Oh you'll find out in good time." She said. "But first I'll be taking these."
Emily reached into my pocket and took out my Digivice, then reached her hands behind my neck and took my crest by the string of the tag.
"The one crest that I never had my hands on," she said holding my crest up proudly. "Not to mention our first D3."
I glared at her angrily, that's why her hand had stopped on my thigh and chest, she was checking to see if I had my Digivice and crest with me. How could this evil person be the same sweet girl I'd just spent the evening with? Everything she'd done all an act, everything, except maybe the fact that she preferred action to romance, there was no way someone like her could like romance.
As if she had been reading my mind she said. "I really had you fooled didn't I? I really am a good actress. Honestly I can't believe how easy I caught you. Spray on a little human pheromones put your hair into pigtails and your worst enemy instantly thinks you're a nice person."
I didn't say anything; I just continued to glare at her.
"I just hit the distress signal on my D3," I said. "Elecmon will get it in his head in a second, he'll be here in no time. Ladydevimon can't fight and hold me at the same time."
"Let him come," Emily laughed. "Without these in your hands he can't even Digivolve, we'll just take him too."
My face changed from determined to that of fear, they were right. Emily had my Digivice, Elecmon would be stuck as a rookie, and even holding me Ladydevimon could beat him. Then he'd join me in their prison.
"Scared now?" Emily asked. "Don't worry, we'll be long gone before your friend gets here. However you should be scared for yourself." She stopped only for a second to climb onto Ladydevimon's back. "Home Ladydevimon. Andrew will be very surprised with what we've caught. Put him to sleep."
I felt a cloth push against my mouth, for a moment I could smell chloroform then I was unconscious.
------------------------------
So was it obvious what was going to happen? I thought so anyway. Okay this chapter is eventually going to lead up to the end of the Emily and Andrew part of this fic. However the next one might not come out for a while, for personal reasons, despite that I'll try to get it up as soon as possible keep those reviews comin'
