Chapter 37

Sora POV

I look to Tai as we enjoying our picnic on this lovely summer day on top of the grass hill. Tai has his arm around my shoulder and I have my head resting in his shoulder. As the sun start to fall below the horizon Tai lends into me for kiss, that when everything start to shake. I open my eyes and I sit up when Tai chest moves underneath me and see that I'm in Tai bedroom, I sigh when I realize that it was a dream. I haven't had a dream like that in a long time, it was nice. I then look over to Tai to see that he moving a lot in his sleep, I hope this isn't another nightmare. I honestly wish he didn't have them since he doesn't need the contest remainder of what happen to him. Tai face looks like he scared of what he dreaming of, I try shaking him and saying "Tai wake up it just a nightmare." That doesn't really work, so I shake him harder and saying a bit louder than before "Please wake up Tai!" I look over to clock when I can't wake him and see that it 1:21am I hope this doesn't last until morning, I would hate to see Tai like this all night. At this point I don't really care how much sleep I get, I just want to help Tai somehow.

Then when I see Tai suddenly awake and sit bolt upright and say frantically "This isn't real!" I sigh when I realize it was mostly likely the same nightmare as before. I reach out to touch Tai and he jumps again at my touch, he slow relaxes when I pull him into a hug.

"Tai it was just a nightmare, I'm here for you…" as I was saying this I lend my head on his shoulder. As I hear him slow down his breathing I ask him "Was it the same nightmare as before?" I don't know if I want it to be the same nightmare as before or not. One hand it might mean that he moved past it or this means that there only more problem laying ahead for both of us.

I hear Tai has slow down his breathing to his normal pace and then he answers me "Ya Sor, it was the same one as last night, the only exception was this one last longer at the end when everyone was laughing at me." I rub his back with one of my hands as he was telling me.

"Tai, I won't betray you like that, you have nothing to worry about from me. Our friends won't betray you like that either. So, you have nothing to worry about, just try to relax." I'm trying to comfort him the best I can, I know I lied to him a bit when I say our friend won't betray him… We only should need to worry about Matt, I really don't want to freak him by saying that right now.

"I know Sor, I know that they won't do that…" As he saying that I really want to kill Lilithmon for causing this much pain to Tai. When I see her next, I make sure that it the last time that I do. I see Tai is now looking around the room looking for the clock. I see him jump a bit when he sees the time, he then says "Sora, I'm sorry for waking you up at this time…"

I turn Tai head towards me so he looks me in the eyes so he knows that I not lying to him. "Tai I don't care that you woke me up from my dream, in fact Tai I don't care how long it takes before you feel ready to try and go back to sleep. I will stay up as long as I need to…" As I saying that I could only smile since I know it true. I would rather stay up all night to make sure Tai can go back to bed peacefully instead trying to go back to bed without him. I know I wouldn't be able to sleep if don't try and help him.

Tai sighs and say "Thanks Sor, that means a lot to me. I know I won't be able to convince you to go back to bed and I don't want you to… So why don't we talk about something until we start to feel tired." I little mad at Tai, that he wanted me go back to sleep but I smile at him when he said that he wants me nearby.

"Sure Tai, we can do." I say softly to Tai and then lend back down and Tai does the same but he lending on his left side so his face is facing me while I talk. "Well I can tell you about my dream if you want?" as I said this, I won't mind sharing this plus it was a happy dream. I hope I can fill his mind with happy thought to replace those nightmares.

Tai nods and says "Sure Sor, if you want to share your dream, that fine with me…" As he was telling me this a start to play with Tai hair, I always like how it defies gravity plus there so much of it to play with. I think Tai likes me playing with his hair a bit as I see him smiling when I doing this.

"Well in my dream we were both sitting on top of a grass hill after finishing a picnic, everything was lovely about the dream Tai. We had a great view from where we sitting to see the sun setting over the horizon. You put my arm around my shoulder and as soon as you did that I lend my head against your shoulder." I can see Tai is looking a bit unhappy, but has a smile on his face. "Tai what the matter?"

Tai sighs before he answers me "Well the dream sounds lovely but I wish I've taken you out on date or can at least plan one with worry about the demon lords will attack when we have it… I don't want to have anything ruin it…" I want to frown and smile at the same time when I hear this. I want to frown because he right we can't really plan a date with everything that happening but I want to smile at the same time since he does really want to make me happy with the perfect date.

"Tai it okay, we can go on a proper date when all this is over. I not sad or anything because you haven't taken me on a date or anything. If anything, I'm kind of excited for when you can take me out for a date since I know with each day that passing you will feel like you need try and make it more perfect. Just know that whatever you plan will be perfect given your track record for date suggestion." I see Tai is blushing for my comments, I can't help but giggle a little bit at Tai.

Tai is a bit flustered but manages to get his thought out without stumbling over his words "I promise I won't disappoint you then Sor!" I see Tai flash his grin at me and he looks happy. Tai then said "So anything else happen in this dream of yours then?"

I nod at him and say "Well not much to be honest, we just leaning into a kiss when I was woken up. It was much tamer then some of the older dreams I had about you." I yawn after I was done talking and see that Tai has that smile on when he planning something.

Oh, no what did I say? Before I can even start to think about what I said to Tai, he just asks "Those older dreams must be pretty wild if kissing is tame." Tai looks like he trying hard no to laugh at my embarrassment, as soon as he was done talking I knew my mistake. My checks feel hotter than the sun, they even might be glowing from the heat. Tai can't help but let out a little chuckle and then says "Maybe someone shouldn't of tease me last night with her tennis uniform and I maybe would have let that comment slide."

Damn it, if I wasn't tired I wouldn't have made that mistake. While I'm super embarrass about that slip up, I can't help but smile a bit from Tai teasing me back for the other day. Whenever I try to tease Matt, all I got was sulking at least with Tai it going to be fair game. "Yes, Tai the cat is out of bag, I might of thought of things beside kissing with you but I willing to bet that you also had such thought as well." I see Tai freeze up for second but I continue anyways, no way is he getting out of that comment for free "I wonder how many times you thought of me in my tennis uniform, and I wonder how many times we made it off the tennis court." And that does it, Tai is blushing more than me, I giggle at him. This might be a good sign if I was able to guess correctly about that.

Tai is now stumbling over his words "I… I mean… I can't... I never…" Tai sighs then looks at me and finally manages to say "You win Sor, I going to try and go bed now. Goodnight Sora…" Tai then rolls over to his other side to avoid looking at me. I smile, if he wants to dream about that tennis uniform tonight instead of the nightmare, I don't care.

I lend over to Tai ear to whisper "Goodnight Tai, I'll see you tomorrow morning… or maybe tonight in your dreams with a tennis uniform." I hope that planted a good of enough seed in Tai head so he can have a nice dream tonight, plus I want him know that it okay to have a dream like that. I don't care what he dreaming about as long as it not the nightmare, who knows I might revisit some of my older dreams tonight as well. I lend over Tai to check to see if he is trying to go sleep and I smile as he has his eyes close and looks like he starting to go off to dream world. I lend back down on the bed and get comfortable as I close my eyes and go back to sleep.

Davis POV

I sigh and look at the clock, its 6:23am. It must be a crime to be awake at this time in the morning but here I am. I couldn't sleep at all last night since I feel like I'm going to be useless in the upcoming fights, I look over to Ken, Yolei and Cody. The way the Digivices absorb the pieces of the other golden Digi-egg, makes me think that they got a permanent upgrade. While I'm worry that I only got to use the Digi-Egg of Miracles once like the last time I fought Chimairamon… I fish out my D-terminal out of my pocket and just look at it. I haven't check to see if the Digi-Egg of Miracles stay inside like other but I don't know if I want to… if it true that it left again then what I'm to the team? At least before me and Ken combine to make Imperialdramon, who a badass but now he doesn't need me for that anymore. I mean I was happy at the time when they digivolve on their own to help with the fight but it was after the fight when it hit me. I might be useless to the team now… I look down at DemiVeemon who sleeping on my lap at the bottom of the love seat. We're not going to be useless, right?

I sigh… I'm going to have to check to see if the Digi-Egg of Miracles is in the D-terminal. I open the D-terminal and scroll to the Digi-Egg section, I smile when I see the Digi-Egg of Courage the first Digi-Egg that start my adventures. I gulp and then hit the next button and see the Digi-Egg of Friendship, well it still there… Okay time to hit the next button for the moment of truth. Alright fingers just need to press the button it's not that hard. I sigh and let my head lend back on the love seat that I was trying to sleep on last night. These nerves are kill me on the inside, I want to help everyone in the upcoming fight and if I want to do that I need the Digi-Egg of Miracles… We can't let the demon lords win for they did to Tai and by the look of things we need every powerhouse we can get if we going to face them again.

I take a deep breath in to calm my nerves and then I hit the next button on the D-terminal this should be the Digi-Egg of Miracles and not an empty space. "HOLY SHIT IT STILL THERE!" I Shout as I jump off the couch. "YES, IT DIDN'T LEAVE LIKE LAST TIME!" I start to jump up and down with joy, when I see Digi-Egg of Miracles is still in my D-terminal. That means we can use Magnamon as much as we want.

"Ouch, what was that for Davis?" I hear DemiVeemon say this from the floor as he rubbing his head. Opps I forgot he was sleeping on my lap when I jump up.

I grab DemiVeemon off the floor and raise him to my eye level to tell him "The Digi-Egg of Miracles stay in the D-terminal! That means we can turn you into Magnamon…" I was going to say more when I was hit in the face with a pillow. After the first one hit me, about four more then hit me one after another knocking me over the love seat. As I get up after falling over with DemiVeemon I see that I woke up pretty much everyone in the living room with my shouting.

I then hear Mimi "Davis if you want to live more than a few seconds… shut up and go back to sleep." As I look towards Mimi I see that she not buffing her eyes look like they want to kill me right now. I gulp when I see that almost everyone in the room has the same eyes.

I say quietly "Sorry I didn't mean to wake up guys…" after I said that I see that everyone tries to go back to bed. I see Mimi put her head back onto Izzy chest and uses him as a pillow. I think I saw Izzy trying to get up but then it looks like Mimi whisper something in his ear then he stops trying to get up after that. I look down and see that DemiVeemon has gone back to sleep in my arms, I smile at him maybe he has the right idea. I gently get back on the couch and lay DemiVeemon onto my chest so he somewhere comfortable to sleep. I close my eyes and try and catch up on the sleep I miss out on last night, but I finding it hard to sleep again but this time it because I'm excited that we still have the Digi-Egg of Miracles.

Izzy POV

Well I got a much later start than I want too because of Mimi but I think she was right with me needing sleep so I not complaining one bit at all. Plus, after she shout at Davis I didn't want to piss her off any more, she can be very scary when she mad. "Hey Izzy, so how far did you get this morning on the search of the other temples?" I hear Tai asking me this as he and Sora enter the kitchen to make breakfast.

Well I don't have anything to do other than to wait for the scan to be completely so I answer them "I already scan the flower that Yolei give me a couple of time and since every time I ran the scan it wasn't showing just the temple but the I believe everything he currently changing. Here takes a look at the this part of the ocean." I turn my computer around and put some screenshots of the previous scan while the program is running in the background. I pointing to where I want them to look at.

As I scroll through the images I hear Sora say "It looks like there a new island forming in that part of the ocean?" I nod at her that what I thinking as well. "So, what does this mean for the search for the other temples then?" she then follows up with another question.

"Well it means I probably won't be able to search for the other temples with the flower that Yolei gave me since their so much background energy being used in the digital world right now." I state to the both of them. They both nod like there following me.

"So how are you going to find the other temples then Izzy?" I then turn to my side when I see Joe is now sitting beside me on the courter top. I sigh this is where the hard part comes in, I not exactly sure of the answer.

"Well I remember that they said they found the crest of Friendship and Reliability inside of the temple so that means that the other temples must have paired the other six crest as well. The only down side to this is I only have Mine and Tai crest energy signal log into my computer. I wish I took more time to log the other in when we had chance to, since that would been the easiest way to find them. I already tried my crest and it was blank as it shows me nothing, so right now I running a scan with Tai crest. Once I have that information I hope it can lead in the right direction." As I was exampling that to everyone I smile since no looks lost at my explanation of what done so far. I just wish I didn't waste an hour with flower scans, I mean it was interesting to see the digital world changing every ten minutes but I don't have time to track that process.

"So, what will it mean if my crest comes up with blank then like yours did?" as Tai was asking me that question I see him turn on the stove and getting a frying pan out to start to cook something.

I sigh then say "Well since I don't have data on Joe or Matt crest, it might mean that I need to search input two crest at the same time to find the temple. So, I will have to ask to borrow the Digi-Egg of Reliability and Digi-Egg of Friendship from Cody and Davis, since Cody was able to make the Ebonwumon temple to show up with it. If I able to located Ebonwumon temple with both Digi-Eggs then I will have to gather up all of the Digi-Eggs from Cody, Davis, Yolei, TK and Kari then start running scans with them. Well that my current plan of action for the time right now. If the Digi-Eggs fail to find Ebonwumon temple, then I will have to think of something else." I really hope that not the case since it would mean I would have no clue on how to find the rest of temples.

"Don't worry about that Izzy, I'm sure you will figure something out." I look over to Sora as she was saying this an I can't help but smile at her. I sigh and nod my head at Sora and lend back on my stool to think about I'm going to do. I look over to clock to see that it already 10:30, if the Digi-Eggs do end up working I hope I get lucky with the pairs I don't want to spend over two hours search every possible combination of crest. I sigh I know ten minutes isn't long to search the entire digital world but when time isn't on your side it seems like an eternity.

"Hey Joe and Izzy do you guys want some eggs as well?" I look over to Tai when he said that and see him smiling. He looks like he in a really good mood right now. I guess he slept well last night, I bet he didn't get waken up by Davis this morning. I look over to Davis to see that he still sleeping on the love seat, I'm surprise that other haven't woken him up yet.

"Sure thing Tai, that is if you not giving us burnt eggs like yesterday when I show up…" Joe start to trail off as he was saying that last part. Joe looks like a mess since he wasn't able to help with any of the fights with the demon lords, since he missed the first one and we couldn't help with the second one.

Tai laughs at Joe when he mentions burnt eggs than says "No Joe, I won't give you burnt egg on purpose. I promise you that, so Izzy do you want some eggs as well?" Tai looks at me and is waiting for my answer.

Before I tell him that okay, I'm not hungry right now. I feel someone hugging me behind and then I hear Mimi voice in my ear "Nope he good Tai, I will make him something for Breakfast instead." I see Sora giggling when Mimi answer for me. Okay this is weird, Mimi is showing all the signs that she likes me but I can't see why would she want to date me of all people. This literally makes no sense to me, I must be reading the signs wrong or something.

Tai smiles and then says "Okay looks like someone already has you cover Izzy for breakfast today." As Tai was saying that he starts to add a lot of pepper into the frying pan. These must be for Koromon then based off amount of pepper he adding to the dish.

After Sora is done her giggling fit she then lends over to Tai and tries to whisper into his ear "It looks like you had good dream last night to put you into such a good mood this morning…" Tai almost drops the entire pepper shaker into the frying pan when Sora said that. I wonder what she meant by that? Has Tai not being sleeping right or something?

Tai doesn't look at us but quickly says "Yes." And then goes back to cooking eggs and tries to act like nothing happen. I then she Sora smile at Tai comment. I then see that Tai is blushing as he scrambling the eggs in the frying pan.

"Well that good, because my dreams were a lot less tame after our talk…" as Sora was saying this I see a small bush form on her face. When Sora said, this I can see that Tai drop the spatula he was using to scramble the eggs for Koromon. What are those two talking about? Tai is acting like a nervous mess.

I then hear Tai gulp before he replies back to Sora "I starting to think that you think about this sort of stuff more than I do Sor." I then she Sora's checks go bright red and then she lightly hit Tai in the arm. When she does Tai laughs for a bit then says "Well I think that proves my point."

"What are you guys talking about anyways?" I hear Mimi ask from over my shoulder, both Tai and Sora look panic for a second when Mimi ask that.

At the same time, they both answer Mimi question "Nothing!" They both look at each and then try and act like this wasn't a big deal. I then hear a ding coming from my laptop to let me know that the search is done. I pull up the results and see that Tai crest also didn't get any results either, I sigh that means I got to go wake up Davis to get the Digi-Eggs from him.

Joe then turns to me and ask me "Was that dinging noise mean that the search is done, Izzy?" I look up from my computer and nod at him. Joe sighs and then says "I guess you didn't find any temples using Tai crest then?"

I shake my head "No, I need to go get the Digi-Eggs for all of our crest before I can start the search again. So, that means I need to go wake up Davis…" as I was saying this I see Mimi walk around into the kitchen and grab a pot and metal spoon.

She smiles evilly and says "I'll get Davis awake for you, he deserves this after waking me up so early in the morning." I can't help but smile at her plan to wake Davis up, I just hope the digimon that are still sleeping don't mind being waken up at this time.

Joe then speaks up "I'll go get Cody and rest, so you can start the search then." Joe then gets up and start to walk over to where Cody is sitting with Upamon.

Mimi start to walk over Davis as quietly as she can before she right above him then she starts to hammering the pot with the metal spoon while shouting into Davis ear "Wake up sleepy head, we need you right now!"

I laugh when I see Davis fly out of the love seat and shouting "Oh god are we under attack?" Everyone in the room is now laughing at Davis, while I think it was a bit cruel to wake him up like that. We did need him awake for the next part of the search for the temples. I just hope I can find the temples with the Digi-Eggs before it too late and the Demon lords move into the step of their plan.
