A/N: I don't own Digimon, otherwise I'd be rich and not live in

Fresno. This is a Taiora, some Daikari, Takari, Daiyako, Tayako

and Mimato. (quite a lot of couples here, huh? Don't worry-it'll be straightened out as the chapters progress.)

Digimon

Trip to America

Chapter I-Plane Ride

"YAY! We're going to America!" cheered Davis Motomiya to Kari Kamiya as Tai and Kari's mother drove them in the car to the airport with Sora's mother and Matt's father behind them.

"Relax, Davis. We'll have plenty of time to talk on the plane." advised Kari sweetly as she started playing with his hair. Davis blushed and started tickling Kari-until Tai turned around.

"Hey, you two. None of that stuff while in the states, got it?" Tai insisted irritably.

Davis and Kari blushed even harder and sweat-dropped as they eyed Tai in the passenger seat. "Got it." they both replied together.

"Why do we have to be in the trunk? It'd be much easier if we were out there with Kari and the others!" cried Gatomon irritably.

"This way, we won't draw any attention to Tai and the others while they get on the plane. Just relax, Gatomon." advised Agumon calmly.

"You relax! I'll be the backseat driver." Came the immediate retort.

Veemon sighed with impatience. "If you two are going to be arguing the entire trip, I won't be responsible for my actions."

Later, at the airport, Tai eyed the DigiDestined who'd agreed to come to America-

Matt: The main reason he'd come was so that he could try to get together with Mimi.

Sora: Besides spending some quality time alone with Tai, she was a part of Operation: Get Matt and Mimi together with Tai as well.

Izzy: He'd come along to make sure Tai and Davis didn't do anything stupid; Sora insisted that he'd spend every waking moment with her. Kari mentioned that she'd try to get Davis to have some fun. Izzy's response to both girls? "That's what I'm afraid of!"

Joe: He came to make sure no one got hurt on the weekend trip.

T.K.: He came to keep an eye on Davis and Kari. As Matt had said once, "Those two are looking too chummy together, don't you think T.K.?"

Kari: Besides dividing time between Davis and T.K., she came to make sure that Tai and Sora didn't get "too close in the states." As their parents-and Sora's mother-put it.

Davis: What else? He'd came to spend time with Kari-and the guys. "How else do you expect to get some time in with the guys? While in the states, of course!" were his exact words. Also, to look out for T.K.

Yolei: She'd come to look after Davis-and to spend some time with him alone. (If no one's noticed that she's getting attracted to Davis on the show, I'll ask this question-where have you been?)

As for Ken and Cody, they agreed to look after the Digital World while the others were gone. That and the fact that Ken would be busy around the house while Cody's mother had some doubts about her son traveling halfway around the world.

"OK- there are nine of us here. The main question is this: who wants to ride First-class?"

Everyone rose their hands; Tai sweat-dropped.

"Oh boy. Three tickets are for me, Kari and Sora. Reason being? I'm the one paying for these tickets, Kari's my sister and Sora would kill me if I had her fly Coach."

"Am I glad I'm not in your shoes, Tai." joked Matt. Sora elbowed him in the ribs for that comment.

"For that comment Matt, you should ride Coach." Sora replied irritably.

Tai knew better than when to argue with Sora-sometimes. Matt knew too.

"OK-Sora, Kari and I are in First-class and Matt's in Coach. The rest of you,

draw straws. Whoever gets the red tip is in First-class; if it's black, you're in Coach." explained Tai as he and Sora handed out straws.

"ALL RIGHT! I GOT RED!" cheered Davis.

"PERFECTO! ME TOO!" yelled Yolei.

"Aw…I got black!" cried T.K. depressingly.

"Don't worry, T.M.-we'll tell you how the movie went, and the dinner, the peanuts, and-"

"STUFF IT, DAVIS!"

Kari stepped in between the two boys. "Stop it T.K.! You shouldn't be mad

at Davis just because he got red and you didn't. There's always America."

Davis almost blew his top, but calmed himself down quite easily-but that

could've been because Yolei was eyeing him almost the same way he would

eye Kari.

"Well, I got black too. Guess that means I can't use my laptop while on the

plane." sighed Izzy reluctantly.

"I got black, too. We can check out America with these binoculars I got."

suggested Joe calmly.

"All right! If everyone's ready-LET'S GO TO AMERICA!" Tai demanded.

The nine DigiDestined cheered as they headed to their plane. The Digimon,

however, had to go in the overhead compartments like Tai had said.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please take your seats. Our 747 from Odaiba,

Japan to New York City will be departing in five minutes. Expect some

turbulence as we begin our ascent."

Sora sighed as she snuggled next to Tai on the plane. Thanks to Tai not messing up the plane tickets, they'd gotten to sit together. However, Davis had to sit between Kari and Yolei-and he didn't know which one to talk to.

"I've always loved Kari, that much is true. But I don't wanna ignore Yolei for the entire trip. I know! I'll strike up a conversation with Kari first, then we include Yolei into it too, only casually." thought Davis calmly.

"So, Kari-any particular sights in New York you wanna see?"

"Hmm…the Statue of Liberty. I didn't get to see it when T.K. and I visited last time."

"That sounds great! Do you wanna come too, Yolei?"

Yolei literally felt her heart jump through her throat. Davis had invited her along!

"He invited me! I didn't think he would! Oh, he's waiting for an answer. Don't sound like a total geek, Yolei!"

To Davis, Yolei's answer didn't sound geeky at all-although she stammered and her cheeks turned red as she eventually answered, "S-sure, Davis. I'd l-love to!"

As for Tai and Sora, they had kissed for a while until Sora had fallen asleep on Tai's shoulder, leaving Tai alone with his thoughts. He also noticed Sora shiver a bit next to him. On instinct, he placed his arm around her waist, which wasn't so easy-she was leaning on him for a pillow.

"This is gonna be one of the toughest weekends ever-spending some alone time with Sora, trying to get Matt and Mimi together, making sure Davis and T.K. don't pull anything on Kari, and, most importantly, keeping the Digimon a secret from whatever hotel we stay in for the next 3 days. I'll figure it out." Tai sighed as he placed his head against Sora's.

"Goodnight, Sora. I love you." Tai whispered against her ear.

"I love you too, Tai. Goodnight." Sora murmured back.

About two or three hours later, Tai, Sora, Davis, Kari, Yolei and the rest of the DigiDestined awoke to the sound of the captain:

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are starting our descent in beautiful New York City. Please make sure your seats and tray tables are in their upright and locked positions."

"Don't they say that stuff as we're taking off?" Davis asked grumpily as he folded up the blanket he'd borrowed from an overhead compartment-messy, like Tai's. It took Sora and Kari to fold up the guys' blankets, plus their own.

"DigiDestined, welcome to New York." whispered Tai quietly so he wouldn't wake any other passengers. Sora responded with a goodmorning kiss.

Davis sighed as he tried not to glance at the elder kids.

"If only Kari would kiss me like that…" he thought sadly.

Kari and Yolei both kissed Davis on either cheek.

"Good morning." they both replied.

Davis blushed a deep red and stammered, "G-good morn-ning."

"Wow! America really is the land of opportunity."

What do you think? Flames aren't permitted. Don't like, don't read.

Chapter II will be up soon.
