Chapter Five


Wormmon, Terriermon, Betamon, and Palmon managed to get over to the snacks and get several things for they're friends.
"I got soda.", Palmon said to Mimi.
"Wormmon, Betamon, and I got cookies and chips.", Terriermon added.
Willias was impressed.
"How did you guys do that without getting bitten by Veemon or Gomamon?"
"Actually.....we didn't."
Wormmon showed them where Veemon had bitten him.
"Veemon said I looked like a meat loaf.", Wormmon complained.
Terriermon looked at Wormmon.
"You don't look like a meat loaf. Maybe a large sausage, but not a meat loaf."
Wormmon found that annoying, but smiled any way.
Willias took the sodas and handed them out.
Willias then looked at his watch and saw what time it was.
"I'd better get ready.", Willias said as he pulled out his lap top.
Mimi and Michel were puzzled.
"What are you getting ready for?", Mimi asked.
"Izzy and I are going to try out something new. Ken and Yoelie are giving Izzy a hand with upgrades to his computer and I've already made mine."
Willias went into detail about what he was doing, but Mimi didn't understand any of it.
Mimi noticed Kari talking with Gatomon and Koromon and decided to go over.
"Kari?", Mimi asked.
"Hi Mimi. Koromon and Gatomon are brainstorming."
"Huh? Why is nobody making any sense today?"
"Sorry Mimi. I mean they're comparing memories of they're time in the Digital World, before meeting any of us, to see what they remember."
"Anything interesting?"
"Lots.", Gatomon said.
"Nothing we want to say to anyone else until we get it all straight.", Koromon added.
And with that, Koromon and Gatomon walked away.
"Well.....that was rude."
"True....but they have they're reasons."
Mimi and Kari walked outside and looked around.
"It's amazing.", Kari said.
"Your not making sense again."
"Sorry. It's just.....I figured T.K. would be...."
"What?"
"I was hoping T.K. would ask me out. He's been avoiding me....and I've been avoiding him."
"Why are you two doing that?"
"I....don't know. I guess I'm a little afraid. Afraid I could lose a friend."
Mimi put her hand on her shoulder.
"I....know how you feel."
"You do?"
Mimi looked back inside and saw Joe.
"I want to tell Joe how I feel but....."
Kari waited for Mimi to continue.
"But he would never be interested in someone like me. He's to smart for someone who can't even get an A if my lie depended on it."
"You don't really believe that?"
"I.....don't know."
Kari decided to leave Mimi alone and went back inside.

Jake couldn't believe it. Veemon and Gomamon were almost finished with the snacks.
"I'd better go to the store before those two go after the furniture."
Jake got his jacket and went over to where Willias was working.
"Think you can handle everything while I'm gone?"
"Sure. When you get back I'll show you the new program that's going to help us against Piedmon."
Jake looked around and saw Koromon with Gatomon.
"Just make sure Koromon doesn't do anything....weird."
"Huh?"
Before Willias could ask what he meant, Jake hurried out the door.

Jake walked down the road to the store and looked around.
"Why do I get the feeling.....that I'm being watched?"
"Because you are.", T.K. said running up.
"T.K.? Why are you following me?"
"I have to ask you something and it can't wait."
Jake was confused.
"Ok....ask me."
"Why did you have this party?"
"What?! Why are you asking me that?!"
"Just tell me."
Jake was even more confused.
"Uh....because I wanted everyone to relax. You know...after running into Piedmon and his evil horde."
T.K. turned away from him and smiled.
"How typical. You humans are so predictable it's pathetic."
"T.K.?"
T.K. was suddenly engulfed by a strange light and was replace by someone Jake had never seen before.
"Who....or what....are you?!"
The stranger looked at Jake and gave him a big grin.
"Just another kid like you. Oh...sorry. I'm no kid."
"Are you a Digimon?!"
"Gee. I could be. If you really want to see a Digimon.....go Park it."
Before Jake could ask, the strange kid disappeared.
"Something tells me I'd better get home. So much for my party...such as it was."

As Jake ran toward his house, Jake didn't realize he was being watched.
"What....is a Digimon?", Eddie asked himself.
