A/N: For the last time, I don't own Digimon. The epilogue contains Taiora, Daikari, a bit of Daiyako, Takari and Mimato. There's no summary involved in this. The DigiDestined are heading home. The plane ride back has some…humorous moments, but that's about it.

Digimon

Trip back to America

Epilogue-The plane ride home

"Don't stay away too long or I'll have to come over and see if you're cheating on me. If you are, I'll personally gouge out your eyes. Got it?"

"Yes ma'am."

Finally irritated with the whole fiasco, Davis and Tai pulled Matt away from Mimi and dragged him toward the ticket booth.

"WAIT, GUYS! I DIDN'T GET MY GOODBYE KISS!"

"She'll e-mail it to you. Let's go!" demanded Tai.

"Ahhh…this is how a plane trip is supposed to go." Kari was comfortable with her head on Davis' shoulder and his head on hers. Thanks to that "miracle" in the hospital a day ago, his wounds had disappeared. There was no trace or proof that Piedmon had ever hurt Davis-and Kari was glad about that.

"Davis, let me outta here!"

"Kari, my tail's being squished between some books! And I need air!"

The two of them sighed as they released their Digimon from the overhead compartments as quickly as possible to avoid detection.

"I'm glad you didn't stay in your In-Training form, Veemon but the overhead compartment's the safest spot on this plane."

"Oh, yeah? You climb in there for two ½ hours and then tell me it's the safest spot on the plane." Retorted Veemon angrily.

"While you two are out here, we could experience turbulence or bad weather or get snowed in-"

A second later, Veemon and Gatomon jumped back over Davis' head and back in the overhead compartments.

"That was easier said than done." Laughed Davis as he slung an arm around Kari's shoulder. He leaned over for a kiss and was interrupted by a stewardess.

"Any beverages or other requirements before takeoff?"

"Takeoff? I thought we were already in the air!"

Kari couldn't help herself. She burst out in laughter at Davis' remark. The stewardess continued onward. A moment after that, Veemon and Gatomon came back out from the overhead compartments.

"I thought you guys had decided to stay up there."

Veemon and Gatomon eyed Davis like he was crazy. "And have to smell those mothballs from the ceiling? We'd rather stay out here with you guys."

Davis and Kari groaned sadly as they picked up their Digimon and placed them in their laps. They weren't going to get any time to themselves on this trip home.

"In a way, I'm going to miss America."

"What do you mean, Tai? We nearly lost Davis in the Digital World because of Piedmon. And when we came here before, Davis almost gave up a chance at love."

Tai eyed his girlfriend with a raised eyebrow. "If it weren't for you and I, Davis and Kari wouldn't be together right now. And about the whole Piedmon issue, Davis knew what he was getting into. That's one of the advantages-and disadvantages-of being leader of the DigiDestined."

"I like the advantages a lot better than the disadvantages." Sora smiled as she and Tai leaned forward and were interrupted by Matt.

"Hey, guys! Mind if I sit with you for a while? It's lonely in Coach."

"Uh, Matt? We were in the middle of something here." Replied Tai calmly. He was trying to hold back his irritation-and not succeeding.

"What? Ohhhhh. Sorry. I'll see you guys later, then."

Tai turned back toward Sora with a wicked smile. "Now, where were we?"

"Right about here."

Their faces were inches from each other's…then Izzy came in on them.

"Guys, I've got to show you something on the 'Net. It's amazing! The U.S.A's got a new President lined up."

Tai and Sora groaned as they both glared at Izzy. "Two things. One-It's George Bush! He's been President since January. Two-IT'S 2001! He was inaugurated that same month!" yelled Tai angrily.

Sora and Izzy facefaulted at the same time, amazed that Tai even knew what inaugurated meant.

"But why would it be on there if he's-oh. The date's January 20."
Tai growled angrily as he grabbed Izzy and his laptop and pushed him back into Coach.

"Hey, Davis!"

Davis and Kari sighed as they pulled away to see Yolei standing right next to them.

"Just wanted to see if you were feeling any better since yesterday."

"Yes, Yolei. I have had no injuries since Kari, you and the others healed me. Why are you over here?" insisted Davis.

"That was it. Oh! And I found these back in the Digital World before we left."

"My goggles! And I thought they were in my bag. Thanks, Yolei." Davis knew Kari was going to kill him but he gave Yolei a friendly peck on the cheek.

"WOW! Th-thanks, D-davis." Yolei was blushing all the way back to her seat. Kari gave Davis the death glare.

"What was that for?"

"I just wanted to say thanks for her getting me my goggles back. That's all!"

Davis pulled Kari into a passionate kiss a second later. She sighed quietly as he pulled back three minutes later.

"Am I forgiven?"

"Well…"

That's when T.K. came in on them.

"What, T.I.?"

"Oh, nothing. Just wanted to see how things were going, that's all."

"Great! Just fine, T.K. Can you do us a favor and look after our Digimon for us?" Kari asked sweetly. Gatomon and Veemon had fallen asleep after getting stuffed with some of Davis' junk food that he'd smuggled onboard.

"Uh, well Kari…"

"Please, T.K.?" Kari caressed T.K.'s cheek with her hand. Davis blushed with definite anger.

"Sure." Picking up Gatomon and Veemon with the greatest of ease, T.K. hustled as fast as possible back to Coach.

"WHAT-WHAT-WHAT WAS THAT?!"

"Nothing."
"That was not NOTHING!"

Kari shut Davis up with a kiss seconds later.

Tai couldn't believe it. They were finally home. Back in Japan. The trip had been torturous for all of them.

"Now we need to wait for our parents to come pick us up."

"Why can't we just walk? The sky looks as clear as daylight to me." Declared Davis.

Thunder flashed seconds later. A downpour came down on the DigiDestined after Davis' remark. The others glared at him.

"This rain's going to be here for the entire week, you guys!" Izzy warned as he looked at the weather report on his laptop.

With the exception of Sora, the DigiDestined groaned out loud. This was going to be one, long rainy week.

YES! Finished at last! R&R, folks. Flames aren't needed.
