Okay, this is the last chapter. This is an epilogue that kind of gives the readers insight on what the next generation is like. I had to get as much of that in one chapter as I could, so it is kind of long. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this story and I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Just a heads-up for possible implications, my philosophy is: "Everyone deserves to be in love with someone until they've proven themselves otherwise."

Also, I would like to credit TheGreatSakura for some of this. Two OC's, a made-up Digimon known as Mystiquemon and a human girl named Mu, were borrowed (with permission, of course) for this chapter.

I would also like to point out/credit CyberDracomon. CyberDracomon is another author here, for those of you who are not aware, and said author wrote a story called "The Lost Egg". I always thought that the name 'Gapamon' would be good for naming the hybrid child of Gatomon and Patamon. Then, I read "The Lost Egg", which is a very good story with a somewhat comedic ending. I said to myself, "Dang! Someone thought of this first, but I love this story to much to get upset!" So, since Gapamon is just too fitting to change, I am saying that the fact that we both use that name for a PataGato child is completely coincidental. I am not plagiarizing or anything like that, so don't accuse me of it.

Chapter 11: Epilogue

Years went by, during which the Gatomon sisters bore more children and TK and Kari had two children of their own: two fraternal twin brothers. The boy resembling Kari was named Mori, and he was partnered with Gatomon and Patamon's middle child and only daughter who had recently digivolved into a Gatomon like her mother. The other brother, resembling TK and named Genno, was allied with the youngest of Gatomon and Patamon's three children, another Patamon.

You might ask if their oldest child is partnered with a human. The answer is no, at least not currently. Their oldest child, the hybrid Digimon, was named Gapamon. Gapamon looked, for the most part, like his mother. He was white furred and had a long tail with purple stripes and a purple tuft at the end. His whiskers were so thin that they were almost invisible. He did, however, inherit his father's leathery wings/ears, as well as his personality. There is one factor that no one believed he inherited from either of his parents and, if he did, he took it to a whole other level.

"Oh, no! I'm lost! I'm lost! Oh, why does this keep happening to me?!" Gapamon panicked as he hovered over people's heads. That's right. He had a ridiculously, horrifyingly bad sense of directions. Once, he even got lost on the way to the bathroom…in his own home.

"Hey, cousin. Did you lose your way again?" the voice of a female called out. Directly below him was his cousin, the elder daughter of Mikemon and BlackGatomon. This child was a Mikemon like her father, only female. She is sometimes referred to as Mickey (by her family and close friends), Mike-chan (or rather wishes to be called that by a human partner or by the special someone she hopes to find someday), or simply the female Mikemon (by pretty much everyone else).

"Hi, Mickey… Yeah, I'm lost," Gapamon sighed. "I told my friend Calumon that I'd meet him at the bakery across town, but I'm not sure how far across I have to go."

"Alright, come along. Follow me. When you find a girl, I hope she's good with directions," Female Mikemon sighed as she turned in the direction of the bakeshop. Gapamon descended so he could follow her, hoping she would lead the way.

"Me, too," Gapamon agreed, "and when you find a girl—"

"Gapa," Female Mikemon cut him off, wondering if he thought before speaking. "Come on." She took his paw and guided him through the streets.

"Sorry…" Gapamon apologized.

"Don't worry about it," the female feline flashed her cousin a smile. "I know what you meant."

"Good. Everyone deserves someone!" Gapamon exclaimed cheerfully; an example of his, his brother's, and his father's fun-loving and optimistic personality.

"So what about you? Do you have your eye on a girl?" Female Mikemon asked as her cousin lifted her up and flew upward, landing atop a bus.

"I'm glad Uncle Mikemon showed us this. Why get a bus pass when you can just ride on the roof? Anyway, I don't. Someday, I'll either fall in love or something," Gapamon answered with a shrug. "And when I do, she'll be so cute that she'll make buttons jealous! She'll have a great sense of direction and she'll always have a compass and a sundial!"

"A sundial?" Female Mikemon echoed, not knowing how a sundial would be of great use in counteracting his faulty sense of direction. It would be great for telling time, though.

"Yeah! And she'll even smell adorable!" Gapamon mused, hoping to one day meet such a female.

"You're always so full of energy. I'm glad it doesn't lead you to pulling pranks like my little sister," Female Mikemon commented. Her sister was a BlackGatomon, like their mother, and just as devious if not more so. "Good for you, Gapamon!"

"What about you, cousin? What do you dream of in a special someone, cousin?" Gapamon inquired, holding onto her as the bus turned onto another street.

"Well, I'd probably want someone who is gentle, is a good chef, likes cats, can deal with my insane mother, and is maybe on the quieter side. I don't think I could handle being around someone verbose. I don't mind the loud, but…I don't know. Something tells me that whoever I end up falling for won't try to stand out like some people do," Female Mikemon replied. "But just as long as I get to feel that-that spark, I'll be happy with whoever it is."

"Wow! Those are words of poetic justice!" Gapamon was beaming at her. "Look! There's the bakery!" Surely enough, the bakery was in sight, and so was Calumon. He waved them down, so they jumped off the bus and landed on their feet in front of him. "Hi, Calumon!"

"Hi! You made it! I was worried that you had gotten lost again!" Calumon exclaimed in relief.

"I was. Cousin Mickey found me," Gapamon explained.

"Hey, that's what family's for," Female Mikemon claimed sheepishly. "B-besides, I wasn't doing anything."

Gapamon and Calumon locked eyes and nodded. They both turned to the female Mikemon and Gapamon began, "We know you'd rather be at home reading or something…"

"But we want you to join us for cream puffs!" Calumon concluded their conjoined thought.

"I-I don't know, you guys…" Female Mikemon was reluctant. "Maybe I should just head home…"

"No, no, please stay! I owe you! Besides, we're family!" Gapamon insisted, reflecting his cousin's own statement back at her. He grinned the kindest smile. She smiled back and decided to stay.

"The more the merrier!" Calumon exclaimed. "Speaking of which, isn't that your younger sister, Gapamon?" Calumon pointed to a Gatomon that was just a smidgeon shorter than Gapamon. The Gatomon had the strong arm of a Gaomon wrapped around her.

"Yeah, that's her. She's with her boyfriend again. He's a boxer, and sometimes she comes home crying from his matches," Gapamon explained.

"Aww," Female Mikemon cooed softly. It was sad to hear about her cousin crying, but it only went to show how much she loved the Gaomon.

"I'm gonna eavesdrop on them," Gapamon muttered and raised one of the wings on his head, trying to listen.

"I can quit boxing if that's what you want. I can't stand making a girl like you cry," the Gaomon, who was about Gapamon's age, said to the young Gatomon.

"No, I don't want you to quit! You love boxing! I just…" Young Gatomon sniffled, "I don't like watching you get hit… You're a great fighter, but sometimes, I see you get brutalized out there and I…I get so scared…"

"Kitten, I can't keep doing something that is only going to upset you. Yes, I love boxing, but I love you, too…" the young Gaomon told her as he held her close and kissed her.

"So, what's the scoop, Gapa?" Female Mikemon inquired in a low voice.

"Teenage drama," Gapamon replied, lowering his wing. "I warned her about dating older men."

"They're a cute couple," Calumon commented, not particularly interested. He was eyeing up the creampuffs.

"I should probably get something for Mom and Dad," Gapamon muttered. "Let's see…"

"Cream…puffs…!" Calumon drooled in ecstasy.

"Uh…Gapamon, is your friend alright?" Female Mikemon asked, pointed towards Calumon.

"Huh? Oh, he's always like that in here," Gapamon said, shrugging it off. "He'll be fine. Just be sure to watch your step so you don't slip."

He traced his paw along the glass case containing the baked goods when his paw touched that of another Digimon. The Digimon, though cloaked, he knew was a female. She resembled a chinchilla, and she was the most beautiful thing he ever brushed paws with. Shying away, the Digimon apologized, "I'm sorry."

"What? No, don't be!" Gapamon insisted. He caught a glimpse of her face. She was more adorable than he dreamed of. She even smelled adorable! "Do you by any chance have a compass?"

"Y-yeah, I do, and I have a sundial. Why?" the unnamed female asked.

"Just curious," Gapamon replied. It took all he had not to burst with triumphant joy. "What's your name?"

"M-Mystiquemon," the female replied. "And you are?"

"Gapamon, first son of the DigiDestined Digimon Patamon and Gatomon!" Gapamon proudly introduced himself to Mystiquemon.

"Oh. N-nice to meet you," Mystiquemon said and curtsied in her cloak.

The female Mikemon smiled solemnly as she watched her cousin mingle with the rodent mystique. She turned around and bumped into a teenaged human female. Backing away, she said, "Ooh. I'm so sorry." She looked up at the girl. Based on clothing and body language, she could tell that the girl was generally modest.

"No, I am sorry. I'm afraid I do not know my way around very well," the girl explained. "I am from a different land. My name is Mu."

"Oh. Hi. I'm Mikemon, but, uh, I also go by Mickey," Female Mikemon introduced herself.

"It is nice to meet you, Mike-chan," Mu said and bowed. Smiling, Female Mikemon bowed back.

"May I…pick you up?" Mu asked hesitantly. When the human received a nod from the calico, she picked her up. "You're very soft…"

"Thank you," Female Mikemon thanked her with a blush. Was this girl just a passer-by? Was she her human partner? Was she more?

Later on, the whole family sat down for dinner, but Young Gatomon, Female Mikemon, and Gapamon were evidently absent. Patamon's younger son, youngest child, and spitting image asked, "Daddy, where are Big Bro and Big Sis?"

"I don't know. They'll be back soon," Patamon answered hopefully.

"I even got a seat out for Gaomon," Kari said in disappointment.

"That dog better treat my Gatomon like a queen," Mori muttered.

"Don't worry, Mori, he will. I knew his father. They're family friends," the older Gatomon assured.

"Can't we just get the food out now? Mickey's barely going to eat anyway!" Young BlackGatomon begged.

"No. You'd better be nice to your big sister, because she's always been nice to you," Mikemon told his younger daughter.

"Fine…but I'm diving in head first if she's not here in five minutes!" Young BlackGatomon claimed.

"No, you're not," Mikemon told her. "We don't need any fuzzy faces in your mother's wonderful food. Sit and be good or you can watch everyone else eat while you get a piece of bread."

"Okay…"

"Good."

Gapamon burst in, fluttering around the room with happiness and carrying a chinchilla-like Digimon. They were followed by the younger Gatomon and her Gaomon boyfriend. Female Mikemon stood in the doorway, talking to a human girl. She said, "Mu-Mu, I can ask if you can stay for dinner. I had a lot of fun talking to you on the bus."

"Mike-chan, that's such a lovely offer, but I'm not…" Mu started to say when she was staring into a very adorable kitty face. She smiled and conceded, "I will call my parents and ask."

"Yippee!" Female Mikemon cheered. She ran into the kitchen and got on her knees. She started to beg her mother, "Mom, I made a new friend today! Can we please, please, please have her for dinner?"

"…I don't see why not," BlackGatomon answered as she was stirring something in a pot. "From the sound of her and how happy you sound, Mickey, she sounds heads and tails over the 'friends' your sister brings home. Hey, for next week, do you think I should try combining salsa and turkey?"

"Knowing you, you'll find a way to pull that off," Female Mikemon giggled. She poked her head out of the kitchen and nodded at Mu, who was on the phone. The human girl smiled at her.

"I heard you, Mom!" Young BlackGatomon yelled from the dining room.

"Then you know how right I am!" BlackGatomon called back. She chuckled to herself. The younger BlackGatomon was just like her in nearly every way.

"And who is your friend, Gapa?" Gatomon inquired.

"She's Mystiquemon! Guess what! She's great with directions and has a compass!" Gapamon exclaimed. Hearing that seemed to put the whole household at ease.

"Thank goodness," Genno sighed in relief.

"Please don't ever leave his side," Kari requested.

"Uh…" Mystiquemon was startled by how everyone was delighted by the fact that she had a compass.

"Don't be scared. They're just happy I met you because I always get lost," Gapamon explained. Mystiquemon snuggled up to Gapamon, as she had quickly grown comfortable with him. Many found Gapamon comfortable to be around.

"I remember when Gapamon got lost on the corner of First and First," Gatomon mumbled. She remembered when Gapamon was first born. That was certainly nothing short of exciting. As were the births of her second born and third born children. Ages ago, when she was still enslaved, she never could have envisioned herself being this happy.

"I love our family," Patamon said as he wrapped an arm around his mate.

"Yeah. Me, too," Gatomon agreed. She turned her head and kissed her beloved, thinking about how lucky and thankful she was to have friends and a loving family.
