Digi-Love
Earth
T.K's and Kari's senior prom was coming up in a week.
They both could hardly wait! They've been planning
this for a long time. Kari asked Mimi and Sora to help
her find the perfect dress just for Kari.
Kari stood in a oh-too-tight skimpy dress that made it
almost hard for her to move or even breathe. She
looked herself over and over in the mirror. The dress
was black and strapless, it only came down mid-thigh.
Her back was revealed. Kari made a disgusted face, "I
look like a hooker!" she complained.
"Kari," Sora called from outside the dressing room,
"are you all right, do you need help?" she turned to
Mimi. "Think she might be having trouble?"
Mimi nodded, "I hope she's not crying! You know Sora,
I've been thinking, someday I'm going to own a store
where anyone could get something for them. These
stores have way too high prices and their clothes
aren't even that good!"
"Mimi, hush!" Sora snapped, "That's nice of you to
think that, but don't let anyone who works here hear
you. They might throw us out!"
Kari tiptoed out of the dressing room, "This is nice,
but it's just not me!" Kari winced. "I can barely move
in this thing!"
"Want to try on another one?" Sora asked, pointing to
the dresses.
"Sure, grab that purple one for me, would you?" She
pointed to the dress she wanted.
Sora went to the rack, picked the purple dress and
gave it to Kari. "Let us know if you need help, k?"
With a smile, Kari went to try the dress on. She found
it easy to put on. It wasn't too loose or too tight.
It was a perfect fit and was made of silk and satin. A
silky bow rested on the back of the dress and their
was ruffle-like sleeves that were a little off the
shoulder. The dress came with black satin gloves,
black shawl and black purse, black fan and black
shoes. Kari was very impressed with the dress. Excited
she came out of the dressing room and spinned around,
"we have a winner!" she shouted.
"Perfect!" Sora cried, "just perfect!"
"All those accessories just set the dress off!" Mimi
agreed. "Let's go to the movies!"
"Oh no." Kari moaned, picking up the price tag.
"What's wrong, Kari?" Sora asked.
"It's too much money, there's no way I can afford this
and T.K's boutonniere." Kari sniffed. "We won't be
able to go the movies either."
"How much is it?" Sora asked, opening her purse.
"Two-hundred fifteen dollars and seventy-nine cents!"
Kari sauntered to the rack and looked for another
dress, "must be a less expensive one here somewhere."
Sora and Mimi looked at each other sadly. They took
all that they had from their purses and counted
two-hundred and ten dollars and fifty cents. They
looked at each other and smiled. "We just need five
dollars and twenty-nine cents!" Sora whispered.
"Hey, Kari!" Mimi ran to her, "we've counted all our
money and we've got two-hundred ten dollars and fifty
cents. How much do you got?"
"But that's your money," Kari protested. "Save it for
yourselves."
"Nonsense!" Mimi laughed, "this is your prom."
"We won't be able to see a movie after we buy the
dress and what about T.K's boutonniere?"
"My mom owns a flower shop," Sora suggested, "I can
make one for free!"
"Really?" Mimi said, surprised, "you told your mom you
don't like being around smelly old flowers!"
Sora smiled, "that was a long time ago and I was angry
that she wouldn't let my play my game. I learned my
lesson." She turned her head to Kari, "Well, what do
you say?"
Kari reached her pocket, "I've got a twenty. Let's buy
that dress!"
Mimi gave the money to the cashier and she gave the
change to Kari: $14.71. "For college," Mimi said.
"What kind of boutonniere do you want me to make for
T.K?" Sora asked as they walked down the street to her
flower shop.
"I don't know, the perfect one." She put her finger to
her bottom lip, "hmm, maybe a yellow carnation with a
purple ribbon."
"Maybe you should make her corsage too!" Mimi offered,
"T.K probably spend a lot of money for his tux, prom
and dinner! It's a good thing he didn't rent a limo or
he'll be in deep trouble!"
"Not a bad idea!" Sora and Kari both said with a
laugh.
Digital World
While T.K and Kari was getting closer at Earth,
Gatomon and Patamon were getting closer at the Digital
World. They spent most of their time together talking
about Kari and T.K and their adventures. They would
talk about defeating Myotismon and the Dark Masters
and the good digimon. They sometimes went on walks and
would walk until they were tired and sleep next to
each other under the shade of a tree. They were, as
you might say, "digi-dating!"
Today, Gatomon was confused about the way she felt
toward Patamon. She walked to a creak and looked at
her reflection. A tear fell from her eye and she began
to frown. Angrily, she hit the water with her paw.
"You'll never catch fish that way, Gatomon!" Biyomon
said, hopping over to see what Gatomon was up to. She
sat on the left of Gatomon.
"You startled me," Gatomon gasped.
"Hi Gatomon," Palmon greeted, sitting on the other
side of Gatomon..
Biyomon sensed something wrong, "Hey, are you all
right? It was only a joke, Gatomon."
"Oh, it's nothing you said, Biyomon," Gatomon said. "I
wasn't fishing."
"Well, what is it?"
"I don't know if I should tell you," Gatomon laid down
on the cool grass and rested her head on her paws. "It
doesn't make any sense."
"Does this have anything to do with you and Patamon?"
Palmon asked.
"What made you think that?" Gatomon raised her head.
"You spend a lot of time together," Palmon explained.
"It's alright Gatomon." Biyomon said. "We know how you
feel."
"You do?"
"Sure we do," Palmon assured. "We're going through the
same thing."
"It's like, we're feeling 'human' emotions," Biyomon
stated, "or something."
"While you're spending time with Patamon," Palmon
said, touching Gatomon's paw, "I'm spending time with
Gabumon."
Gatomon made a confused face, "Gabumon, you're
kidding, right?"
"No, honest," Palmon assured, "we're always talking."
"Wow," Gatomon said, "incredible."
"I'm also talking to Agumon sometimes, too," Biyomon
said, "I wish Sora was here, she'd be able to explain
it to us!"
"Oh, good going, Biyomon," Palmon shouted, "you made
me start missing Mimi!"
"I miss Kari," Gatomon sighed, "I've been waiting for
her so long and when I finally got to see her, we only
spent a small time with each other and she went back
to her home on Earth."
"Sure is boring with out the humans around." Palmon
agreed. "How are we supposed to protect them when
they're off in another world?"
"I just hope that Kari's safe," Gatomon wished, "I
just hope she's safe and nothing happens to her."
"She'll be okay." Biyomon said.
"Wait a minute here," Palmon said, "Have you noticed
how our human partners acted toward each other?"
"I remember that Tai and Matt fought a lot!" Biyomon
recalled.
"Yes, that's true," Palmon said with a smile, "but I
mean 'our' partners, Sora, Mimi and Kari."
"And Agumon, Gabumon and Patamon's partners," Gatomon
said, standing up. "Tai, Matt and T.K."
"Matt and Mimi seemed to be a little close," Palmon
said. "They were always sitting next to each other,"
"Tai and Sora were really good friends too," Biyomon
said, folding her wings.
"Kari and T.K were the youngest of the digidestined,"
Gatomon added, standing up on her hind legs, "they
spent some time together too."
"Can this mean," Biyomon asked, "What they feel for
each other, is the same thing we feel for them?"
Biyomon pointed to the other digimon, Gabumon, Agumon
and Patamon, where were having their own conversation
about evil digimon.
Biyomon, Palmon and Gatomon exchanged glances. What if
Biyomon's right? What do they do then?
Earth
Kari stood in front of the mirror, turning around and
checking for anything that could be amiss, the hanger
strips hanging out of the inside of the dress, a
stain, a hair out of place, lipstick on her teeth.
Nothing was wrong, everything was fine. Her pixie
hairdo had a silver hair barrette on one side. Just
perfect. Kari looked down at her dresser. Her Crest of
Light laid down next to her blush applicator. She
picked up her crest and put it around her neck. The
perfect touch. Looking at her crest, she wondered
about Gatomon and other digimon. How could she leave
Gatomon back at Digiworld after Gatomon was waiting
for her for so long? What could Gatomon be thinking
about right now? Kari truly missed her digimon and she
wished that she would be reunited with her soon.
The doorbell rang. Kari suddenly forgot what she was
thinking about. She put her hand to her forehead to
gather her thoughts. Oh, yes, the prom. She thought, I
mustn't keep T.K waiting. From the living room, she
could hear Tai opening the door and welcoming T.K in.
"Hi T.K, hey, nice tux!" Tai said. "Kari should be
ready, I'll go let her know you're here."
"Thanks Tai," T.K's sweet voice answered.
Kari quicly wrapped her shawl around her shoulders,
put her fan in her purse and turned to see Tai
knocking on her opened door. Silly brother. She
thought. Even with the door opened, he still knocked
on it.
"T.K's here," he announced, "you look ready. Are you
ready?"
"Yup, all ready."
"You have fun, I'm taking Sora to the movies."
"Okay," she smiled.
"You have your key?" Tai asked, but it sounded like an
order.
"Sure do."
"Great," Tai grinned, "let me get the camera. Mom
wanted me to take a picture of you guys before you
leave."
Tai walked out to get the camera and Kari took one
last glance at the mirror. Sighing, she picked up
T.K's boutonniere and went to greet T.K.
At the sight of her, T.K nearly dropped her corsage.
He was standing next to the door. "Wow, you look," he
said, lost in his words, "Wow."
"This is for your," Kari said, pinning the boutonniere
to the edge of his tux jacket.
T.K breathed in the scent of her hair. It smelled like
coconuts. Her perfume was sweet and not too-over
powering. He wondered what her breath smelt like.
T.K. took the corsage out of the clear box, "Sora made
this, free of charge." Smiling, he slid the corsage on
Kari's slender wrist. It had yellow carnations and red
roses with purple ribbon.
"It's very beautiful," Kari said. "Sora did a
fantastic job." She moved in forward to kiss him, but
stopped when she heard Tai coming.
"I found the camera," Tai said, carrying a black
camera. "It was in mom and dad's closet. Sorry I took
so long."
"It's okay, Tai." Kari said.
"Hmm, all right, where should we take the picture?"
Tai asked.
"How about on the balcony out there?" T.K suggested,
"The moon looks nice tonight."
"Good idea, T.K," Kari said.
"Yeah, free background," Tai added.
They walked to the balcony. Tai told them to stand
next to each other. Nervously, T.K took a step close
to Kari.
Tai brought the camera down, "Come on," Tai grumbled,
"my sister doesn't smell bad does she? Put your arm
around her, T.K!"
Tai put his arm around Kari's shoulder, and looked at
him as if to say "Like this?" As if he knew what he
was trying to say, Tai nodded and took the picture.
"All right, have fun." Tai said, opening the door and
walking into the living room. "Drive safely, T.K."
"Later, Tai," T.K said. He opened the door for Kari
first and he closed the door behind him.
"Well, shall we?" Kari said, taking his arm.
"Let's go, milady," T.K smirked. "The ball is about to
start!"
Digital World
Gatomon thought long and hard about what Palmon and
Biyomon said. What if they were right? Sometimes
Gatomon wished she was a human so she'd understand
these feelings more. But all she knew was mostly
sadness and hardship because she found Myotismon
before she found Kari. Myotismon tricked her into
being evil. She was alone again, even though she was
united with Kari and the other digidestined. She got
to see her digimon friends too, after that long and
painful wait.
She went on another one of her walks. Her head was
faced the ground and she bumped into something. She
shook her head and looked up to see what she bumped
into: Agumon.
"Hi Gatomon, did you loose something?" Agumon asked.
"Oh no," Gatomon frowned. "Sorry, I'm just going for a
little walk."
"Take Patamon with you," Agumon said.
"What?"
"Patamon told me there's something he wanted to show
you." Agumon explained, "Go on, here he comes now."
"Hi Gatomon," Patamon said. He flew up above her,
"Come with me, I want to show you something."
"All right, lead the way." She followed him.
Patamon lead her to the mountain range that overlooked
the lake. Gatomon never been there before and he knew
that the sight of it should cheer her up.
"Well, what do you think, Gatomon?" Patamon asked.
"I think we should have digivolved before we came up
here," she said, panting.
Patamon laughed and led her to the edge, "Look at the
sun setting behind the lake. Nice, isn't it?"
"Very nice, Patamon," she sat down. Patamon sat down
next to her and they looked out into the sunset.
Earth
"My, what a good dancer you are, T.K," Kari said, in
the middle of a spin.
"Thanks, Kari," he reeled her back in to his arms.
They were dancing to a swing song. He spun her again.
She looked like a spinning top. They were so into
their dance, that the others formed a ring around them
and watched them dance. They began clapping to the
beat.
"Go Kari!" A girl in a green dress shouted.
"Alright, T.K!" her date urged.
T.K picked her up and had her sit on his hip, he set
her down, twirling her again. The song was about over,
T.K pulled her close to him again and dipped her. They
were breathing heavily, and they were staring deep
into each others' eyes.
Everyone applauded them, saying how great they were.
Another fast number started playing. Although it was
tempting, both Kari and T.K were too exhausted to
fast-dance again.
"Let's sit down for a bit, Kari," T.K wheezed, leading
her to the nearest table. He sat her down. "I'll get
some punch."
After T.K left, the girl in the green dress who
shouted to Kari, sat next to her. She was in her
English class. "You and T.K are quite an item," she
said. "I don't know what it is, but it's like you've
known each other for a long time or something."
"We go way back." Kari said with a smile, "since were
kids."
"Really?" she gasped.
"Here's your punch, Kari." T.K said, setting the punch
on the table. "Oh, hi Janice."
Janice smiled. "I hear you and Kari go way back."
T.K sat next to Kari and took her hand, "that's
right."
"Hey, Janice," Paul called, "come here, they're about
to play our song!" He ran over and grabbed her hand.
"Hi T.K, Hi Kari, come on Janice!"
"Okay, Paul, later guys," Janice followed Paul to the
dance floor.
Still holding her hand, T.K said, "you look so
beautiful tonight, Kari."
Kari smiled. She was sweating. She took her fan out of
her purse and started to fan herself off, "I think I
know now why this comes with the dress!" she said.
T.K laughed and leaned forward, "Hey, fan me off too!
This tux his making me so hot, I can't even breathe."
Kari began to fan him off until he was cool. They
drank their punch in large gulps. Too bad the place
wasn't air conditioned. They would probably still be
able to dance if it wasn't for this heat!
T.K finally noticed that Kari was wearing her Crest of
Light. "Kari, you're wearing your crest." He took it
in his hands, "how come?"
"I can't seem to part with it, T.K. I guess I just
miss the digiworld."
"Yeah, me too," he let of her crest and gave her hand
a little squeeze. "I'm also wearing my crest." He
reached his hand between his collar and pulled it out.
"Best gift I got on any vacation!"
"You're sweet, T.K." Kari said, leaning close.
"You're beautiful." T.K kissed her hand. They leaned
in close, T.K cupped her chin, Kari put her hand on
his shoulder, they were about to kiss each other when
they heard the principal about to crown the Prom King
and Queen.
"Let's go," Kari said, disappointed. She took his hand
and lead him to the stage.
T.K wrapped his arms around her waist.
"This year's Prom Queen is..Hikari Kamiya!"
Kari hugged T.K and made her way to the stage. She
waved to her friends and bent down to receive her
crown.
"The King is..Takeru Takaishi!"
T.K pumped his fist in the air, "All right!" he
cheered. He ran up the steps, got his crown and held
his date's, and his queen's hand.
"Now, the King and Queen will now dance together."
T.K led her down the steps, pulled wrapped his arms
around her waist and pulled her close to him. Kari
rested her arms on his chest. Her head tucked under
his. Their crests, for some reason, began to glow. But
why? They weren't in danger, so why on earth was their
crests glowing?
Digiworld
Patamon digivolve to.Angemon
Gatomon digivolve to..Angewomon
"How, why?" Angemon said, "we, we digivolved,
somehow."
"Oh no," Angewomon shouted, "could Kari and T.K be in
trouble?"
"I sure hope not." Angemon said. "We never digivolved
without them with us before."
Angewomon turned away, crossing her arms. Now, she was
feeling very confused.
Angemon walked up behind Angewomon, placed his hand on
her shoulder and turned her around so he could face
him. "You look sad about something. Tell me what's
wrong."
"I don't know where to begin, Angemon," she said.
"Try."
"I guess it all began when I was separated from you
and the others. I was all alone and then I found
Myotismon. He convinced me that I was evil. You have
no idea what he put me through. I even have scars from
when he beat me."
"Myotismon is dead now," Angemon said, "he'll never
bother you again."
"I know, but I still carry around the scars. He beat
me, just because the way I looked at him some times
when I was Salamon and Gatomon. He didn't like my
eyes."
"Your eyes?"
"Yes," she nodded.
"That fool!" Angemon grunted.
"It was awful," she said.
"I wonder what your eyes look now." He reached for her
helmet.
"No, Angemon," Angewomon said, backing away, "please."
"I only want to look at your eyes," he explained. He
reached to his own helmet, "here, I'll do it first."
He took off his helmet to reveal shining blue eyes
that looked like pools of water. "Your turn."
Reluctantly, Angewomon removed her helmet. Her eyes
were also the same shining blue. "Well?" she said.
"You look like a human." Angemon said. "I wonder what
Myotsimon would think of your eyes now."
Angewomon laughed, looked down at her feet. She
noticed that they were lifting off the ground. "I
wonder what it's like to be human." She muttered.
Angemon took her hand, and pulled her into his arms.
His wings circled around her and she let hers drop to
her sides. "This is the closest to being human I've
ever felt in my life." Angemon said.
"I feel so safe," Angewomon said, laying her head upon
Angemon's chest. "So peaceful all of a sudden, I
wonder what this feeling is."
"It must have a name," Angemon agreed. He looked down
at her, lifted her chin up to him and began running
his fingers through her long hair. "You're, you're
beautiful. I don't know what Myotismon was thinking
when he thought you were evil. You're not evil at all,
Angewomon. You're just too beautiful and kind to be
evil."
"Angemon," Angewomon sighed. A tear fell down her
cheek. Slowly, she brought her hands from his chest to
his shoulders.
Angemon cupped his hands around her head, "Angewomon,
I,--" unable to find what to say, he just leaned in
close, so close that their foreheads touched. They
were breathing heavily. They closed their eyes for
awhile and listened to the sounds around them. The
waves crashing against the shore, their breathing,
their hearts pumping, the wind blowing their hair
around..
They opened their eyes again, "I think I know what
this feeling is, Angemon," Angewomon said. "I think
it's called, well, love."
"Love," Angemon moaned. "Yes, love." He thought about
it for a minute. Angewomon was right. Love sounded
like the name for it, "I love you, Angewomon."
"OH, Angemon," Angewomon sighed, "I love you too."
Now they knew what to do. They leaned closer together,
Angemon put left hand on the back of Angemon's head,
and his right arm around her waist. Angewomon slid her
arms from Angemon's shoulders to his upper back. Their
lips brushed together and that was the key to opened
the door to their love. Softly and tenderly, they
kissed each other. Once their lips touched, they
didn't want the moment to end. They kept kissing and
started to hold each other tighter. They kissed until
they were breathless. They stopped kissing, but
remained in each other's arms.
"That was so, incredible," Angewomon said. "I'm
surprised we never did that before."
"Me too," Angemon agreed. He rubbed his hands across
Angewomon's back. "It was beautiful."
"Angelic," Angewomon breathed, she wrapped her arms
tightly around Angemon's neck, "Heavenly."
"Very."
Still holding each other, they landed on the ground.
They kneeled down in each others arms. They were about
to kiss and then.they de-digivolved, Angemon back to
Patamon, Angewomon back to Gatomon. But they were
still holding each other.
"Patamon," Gatomon said, "when we digivolved?"
"Yes, Gatomon?"
"Did we?" she pulled away from him and raised her
eyebrow.
"Yes." He pulled her back.
Gatomon smiled, "Will we ever do that again?"
"Maybe someday we will." He laid down at the trunk of
a tree and Gatomon laid down next to him, purring.
Earth
"Well, Kari," T.K smiled, walking her up the stairs
to her apartment "I had a great time with you
tonight."
"Me too, T.K," Kari agreed. They stopped right next to
her door and Kari leaned against the wall. "I never
knew you could dance that well."
"Me neither," T.K grinned. They laughed a little and
looked into each other's eyes. T.K caressed her cheek
and leaned forward to kiss her goodnight. The kiss was
warm and nice; Kari's breath tasted like spearmint.
His tasted like fruit punch. "I'll call you soon." He
said. He kissed her on the cheek and left down the
steps. He looked back at her and winked.
"See you soon, T.K!" she waved at him and checked the
knob. Locked. She put her key in the lock and went to
her room to change into her pajamas. She turned on the
light and sat down in front of her desk and looked at
her reflection in the mirror. She saw something in the
mirror. It was Gatomon and Patamon sleeping next to
each other under a tree. Above them was Angemon and
Angewomon holding each other, floating in the air and
looking deep in each other's eyes. Their helmets were
removed. "Strange," Kari said to herself. "How
strange." She took the barrette out of her hair and
took her earrings out. Taking off her crest, she
noticed her digivice. She picked it up, it was warm;
as if it was just used. She looked back at her mirror.
"Gatomon and Patamon..in love?" she asked herself.
"How can it be?"
When T.K returned home, he noticed the same thing. The
image of Gatomon and Patamon sleeping next to each
other. Angemon and Angewomon in each other's arm
floating in the air. "What the?" T.K looked closely in
his mirror.
It was true, their digimon was in love, as if they
were humans. As T.K and Kari grew close together, so
did their digimon. They were linked to them in some
way and was able to feel what love was like. But will
Gatomon and Patamon ever truly understand their
feelings? Will their wish to become human come true,
or will they live as digimon and not be able to feel
real human feelings for the rest of their digi-lives?
Nobody said love was easy!
Earth
T.K's and Kari's senior prom was coming up in a week.
They both could hardly wait! They've been planning
this for a long time. Kari asked Mimi and Sora to help
her find the perfect dress just for Kari.
Kari stood in a oh-too-tight skimpy dress that made it
almost hard for her to move or even breathe. She
looked herself over and over in the mirror. The dress
was black and strapless, it only came down mid-thigh.
Her back was revealed. Kari made a disgusted face, "I
look like a hooker!" she complained.
"Kari," Sora called from outside the dressing room,
"are you all right, do you need help?" she turned to
Mimi. "Think she might be having trouble?"
Mimi nodded, "I hope she's not crying! You know Sora,
I've been thinking, someday I'm going to own a store
where anyone could get something for them. These
stores have way too high prices and their clothes
aren't even that good!"
"Mimi, hush!" Sora snapped, "That's nice of you to
think that, but don't let anyone who works here hear
you. They might throw us out!"
Kari tiptoed out of the dressing room, "This is nice,
but it's just not me!" Kari winced. "I can barely move
in this thing!"
"Want to try on another one?" Sora asked, pointing to
the dresses.
"Sure, grab that purple one for me, would you?" She
pointed to the dress she wanted.
Sora went to the rack, picked the purple dress and
gave it to Kari. "Let us know if you need help, k?"
With a smile, Kari went to try the dress on. She found
it easy to put on. It wasn't too loose or too tight.
It was a perfect fit and was made of silk and satin. A
silky bow rested on the back of the dress and their
was ruffle-like sleeves that were a little off the
shoulder. The dress came with black satin gloves,
black shawl and black purse, black fan and black
shoes. Kari was very impressed with the dress. Excited
she came out of the dressing room and spinned around,
"we have a winner!" she shouted.
"Perfect!" Sora cried, "just perfect!"
"All those accessories just set the dress off!" Mimi
agreed. "Let's go to the movies!"
"Oh no." Kari moaned, picking up the price tag.
"What's wrong, Kari?" Sora asked.
"It's too much money, there's no way I can afford this
and T.K's boutonniere." Kari sniffed. "We won't be
able to go the movies either."
"How much is it?" Sora asked, opening her purse.
"Two-hundred fifteen dollars and seventy-nine cents!"
Kari sauntered to the rack and looked for another
dress, "must be a less expensive one here somewhere."
Sora and Mimi looked at each other sadly. They took
all that they had from their purses and counted
two-hundred and ten dollars and fifty cents. They
looked at each other and smiled. "We just need five
dollars and twenty-nine cents!" Sora whispered.
"Hey, Kari!" Mimi ran to her, "we've counted all our
money and we've got two-hundred ten dollars and fifty
cents. How much do you got?"
"But that's your money," Kari protested. "Save it for
yourselves."
"Nonsense!" Mimi laughed, "this is your prom."
"We won't be able to see a movie after we buy the
dress and what about T.K's boutonniere?"
"My mom owns a flower shop," Sora suggested, "I can
make one for free!"
"Really?" Mimi said, surprised, "you told your mom you
don't like being around smelly old flowers!"
Sora smiled, "that was a long time ago and I was angry
that she wouldn't let my play my game. I learned my
lesson." She turned her head to Kari, "Well, what do
you say?"
Kari reached her pocket, "I've got a twenty. Let's buy
that dress!"
Mimi gave the money to the cashier and she gave the
change to Kari: $14.71. "For college," Mimi said.
"What kind of boutonniere do you want me to make for
T.K?" Sora asked as they walked down the street to her
flower shop.
"I don't know, the perfect one." She put her finger to
her bottom lip, "hmm, maybe a yellow carnation with a
purple ribbon."
"Maybe you should make her corsage too!" Mimi offered,
"T.K probably spend a lot of money for his tux, prom
and dinner! It's a good thing he didn't rent a limo or
he'll be in deep trouble!"
"Not a bad idea!" Sora and Kari both said with a
laugh.
Digital World
While T.K and Kari was getting closer at Earth,
Gatomon and Patamon were getting closer at the Digital
World. They spent most of their time together talking
about Kari and T.K and their adventures. They would
talk about defeating Myotismon and the Dark Masters
and the good digimon. They sometimes went on walks and
would walk until they were tired and sleep next to
each other under the shade of a tree. They were, as
you might say, "digi-dating!"
Today, Gatomon was confused about the way she felt
toward Patamon. She walked to a creak and looked at
her reflection. A tear fell from her eye and she began
to frown. Angrily, she hit the water with her paw.
"You'll never catch fish that way, Gatomon!" Biyomon
said, hopping over to see what Gatomon was up to. She
sat on the left of Gatomon.
"You startled me," Gatomon gasped.
"Hi Gatomon," Palmon greeted, sitting on the other
side of Gatomon..
Biyomon sensed something wrong, "Hey, are you all
right? It was only a joke, Gatomon."
"Oh, it's nothing you said, Biyomon," Gatomon said. "I
wasn't fishing."
"Well, what is it?"
"I don't know if I should tell you," Gatomon laid down
on the cool grass and rested her head on her paws. "It
doesn't make any sense."
"Does this have anything to do with you and Patamon?"
Palmon asked.
"What made you think that?" Gatomon raised her head.
"You spend a lot of time together," Palmon explained.
"It's alright Gatomon." Biyomon said. "We know how you
feel."
"You do?"
"Sure we do," Palmon assured. "We're going through the
same thing."
"It's like, we're feeling 'human' emotions," Biyomon
stated, "or something."
"While you're spending time with Patamon," Palmon
said, touching Gatomon's paw, "I'm spending time with
Gabumon."
Gatomon made a confused face, "Gabumon, you're
kidding, right?"
"No, honest," Palmon assured, "we're always talking."
"Wow," Gatomon said, "incredible."
"I'm also talking to Agumon sometimes, too," Biyomon
said, "I wish Sora was here, she'd be able to explain
it to us!"
"Oh, good going, Biyomon," Palmon shouted, "you made
me start missing Mimi!"
"I miss Kari," Gatomon sighed, "I've been waiting for
her so long and when I finally got to see her, we only
spent a small time with each other and she went back
to her home on Earth."
"Sure is boring with out the humans around." Palmon
agreed. "How are we supposed to protect them when
they're off in another world?"
"I just hope that Kari's safe," Gatomon wished, "I
just hope she's safe and nothing happens to her."
"She'll be okay." Biyomon said.
"Wait a minute here," Palmon said, "Have you noticed
how our human partners acted toward each other?"
"I remember that Tai and Matt fought a lot!" Biyomon
recalled.
"Yes, that's true," Palmon said with a smile, "but I
mean 'our' partners, Sora, Mimi and Kari."
"And Agumon, Gabumon and Patamon's partners," Gatomon
said, standing up. "Tai, Matt and T.K."
"Matt and Mimi seemed to be a little close," Palmon
said. "They were always sitting next to each other,"
"Tai and Sora were really good friends too," Biyomon
said, folding her wings.
"Kari and T.K were the youngest of the digidestined,"
Gatomon added, standing up on her hind legs, "they
spent some time together too."
"Can this mean," Biyomon asked, "What they feel for
each other, is the same thing we feel for them?"
Biyomon pointed to the other digimon, Gabumon, Agumon
and Patamon, where were having their own conversation
about evil digimon.
Biyomon, Palmon and Gatomon exchanged glances. What if
Biyomon's right? What do they do then?
Earth
Kari stood in front of the mirror, turning around and
checking for anything that could be amiss, the hanger
strips hanging out of the inside of the dress, a
stain, a hair out of place, lipstick on her teeth.
Nothing was wrong, everything was fine. Her pixie
hairdo had a silver hair barrette on one side. Just
perfect. Kari looked down at her dresser. Her Crest of
Light laid down next to her blush applicator. She
picked up her crest and put it around her neck. The
perfect touch. Looking at her crest, she wondered
about Gatomon and other digimon. How could she leave
Gatomon back at Digiworld after Gatomon was waiting
for her for so long? What could Gatomon be thinking
about right now? Kari truly missed her digimon and she
wished that she would be reunited with her soon.
The doorbell rang. Kari suddenly forgot what she was
thinking about. She put her hand to her forehead to
gather her thoughts. Oh, yes, the prom. She thought, I
mustn't keep T.K waiting. From the living room, she
could hear Tai opening the door and welcoming T.K in.
"Hi T.K, hey, nice tux!" Tai said. "Kari should be
ready, I'll go let her know you're here."
"Thanks Tai," T.K's sweet voice answered.
Kari quicly wrapped her shawl around her shoulders,
put her fan in her purse and turned to see Tai
knocking on her opened door. Silly brother. She
thought. Even with the door opened, he still knocked
on it.
"T.K's here," he announced, "you look ready. Are you
ready?"
"Yup, all ready."
"You have fun, I'm taking Sora to the movies."
"Okay," she smiled.
"You have your key?" Tai asked, but it sounded like an
order.
"Sure do."
"Great," Tai grinned, "let me get the camera. Mom
wanted me to take a picture of you guys before you
leave."
Tai walked out to get the camera and Kari took one
last glance at the mirror. Sighing, she picked up
T.K's boutonniere and went to greet T.K.
At the sight of her, T.K nearly dropped her corsage.
He was standing next to the door. "Wow, you look," he
said, lost in his words, "Wow."
"This is for your," Kari said, pinning the boutonniere
to the edge of his tux jacket.
T.K breathed in the scent of her hair. It smelled like
coconuts. Her perfume was sweet and not too-over
powering. He wondered what her breath smelt like.
T.K. took the corsage out of the clear box, "Sora made
this, free of charge." Smiling, he slid the corsage on
Kari's slender wrist. It had yellow carnations and red
roses with purple ribbon.
"It's very beautiful," Kari said. "Sora did a
fantastic job." She moved in forward to kiss him, but
stopped when she heard Tai coming.
"I found the camera," Tai said, carrying a black
camera. "It was in mom and dad's closet. Sorry I took
so long."
"It's okay, Tai." Kari said.
"Hmm, all right, where should we take the picture?"
Tai asked.
"How about on the balcony out there?" T.K suggested,
"The moon looks nice tonight."
"Good idea, T.K," Kari said.
"Yeah, free background," Tai added.
They walked to the balcony. Tai told them to stand
next to each other. Nervously, T.K took a step close
to Kari.
Tai brought the camera down, "Come on," Tai grumbled,
"my sister doesn't smell bad does she? Put your arm
around her, T.K!"
Tai put his arm around Kari's shoulder, and looked at
him as if to say "Like this?" As if he knew what he
was trying to say, Tai nodded and took the picture.
"All right, have fun." Tai said, opening the door and
walking into the living room. "Drive safely, T.K."
"Later, Tai," T.K said. He opened the door for Kari
first and he closed the door behind him.
"Well, shall we?" Kari said, taking his arm.
"Let's go, milady," T.K smirked. "The ball is about to
start!"
Digital World
Gatomon thought long and hard about what Palmon and
Biyomon said. What if they were right? Sometimes
Gatomon wished she was a human so she'd understand
these feelings more. But all she knew was mostly
sadness and hardship because she found Myotismon
before she found Kari. Myotismon tricked her into
being evil. She was alone again, even though she was
united with Kari and the other digidestined. She got
to see her digimon friends too, after that long and
painful wait.
She went on another one of her walks. Her head was
faced the ground and she bumped into something. She
shook her head and looked up to see what she bumped
into: Agumon.
"Hi Gatomon, did you loose something?" Agumon asked.
"Oh no," Gatomon frowned. "Sorry, I'm just going for a
little walk."
"Take Patamon with you," Agumon said.
"What?"
"Patamon told me there's something he wanted to show
you." Agumon explained, "Go on, here he comes now."
"Hi Gatomon," Patamon said. He flew up above her,
"Come with me, I want to show you something."
"All right, lead the way." She followed him.
Patamon lead her to the mountain range that overlooked
the lake. Gatomon never been there before and he knew
that the sight of it should cheer her up.
"Well, what do you think, Gatomon?" Patamon asked.
"I think we should have digivolved before we came up
here," she said, panting.
Patamon laughed and led her to the edge, "Look at the
sun setting behind the lake. Nice, isn't it?"
"Very nice, Patamon," she sat down. Patamon sat down
next to her and they looked out into the sunset.
Earth
"My, what a good dancer you are, T.K," Kari said, in
the middle of a spin.
"Thanks, Kari," he reeled her back in to his arms.
They were dancing to a swing song. He spun her again.
She looked like a spinning top. They were so into
their dance, that the others formed a ring around them
and watched them dance. They began clapping to the
beat.
"Go Kari!" A girl in a green dress shouted.
"Alright, T.K!" her date urged.
T.K picked her up and had her sit on his hip, he set
her down, twirling her again. The song was about over,
T.K pulled her close to him again and dipped her. They
were breathing heavily, and they were staring deep
into each others' eyes.
Everyone applauded them, saying how great they were.
Another fast number started playing. Although it was
tempting, both Kari and T.K were too exhausted to
fast-dance again.
"Let's sit down for a bit, Kari," T.K wheezed, leading
her to the nearest table. He sat her down. "I'll get
some punch."
After T.K left, the girl in the green dress who
shouted to Kari, sat next to her. She was in her
English class. "You and T.K are quite an item," she
said. "I don't know what it is, but it's like you've
known each other for a long time or something."
"We go way back." Kari said with a smile, "since were
kids."
"Really?" she gasped.
"Here's your punch, Kari." T.K said, setting the punch
on the table. "Oh, hi Janice."
Janice smiled. "I hear you and Kari go way back."
T.K sat next to Kari and took her hand, "that's
right."
"Hey, Janice," Paul called, "come here, they're about
to play our song!" He ran over and grabbed her hand.
"Hi T.K, Hi Kari, come on Janice!"
"Okay, Paul, later guys," Janice followed Paul to the
dance floor.
Still holding her hand, T.K said, "you look so
beautiful tonight, Kari."
Kari smiled. She was sweating. She took her fan out of
her purse and started to fan herself off, "I think I
know now why this comes with the dress!" she said.
T.K laughed and leaned forward, "Hey, fan me off too!
This tux his making me so hot, I can't even breathe."
Kari began to fan him off until he was cool. They
drank their punch in large gulps. Too bad the place
wasn't air conditioned. They would probably still be
able to dance if it wasn't for this heat!
T.K finally noticed that Kari was wearing her Crest of
Light. "Kari, you're wearing your crest." He took it
in his hands, "how come?"
"I can't seem to part with it, T.K. I guess I just
miss the digiworld."
"Yeah, me too," he let of her crest and gave her hand
a little squeeze. "I'm also wearing my crest." He
reached his hand between his collar and pulled it out.
"Best gift I got on any vacation!"
"You're sweet, T.K." Kari said, leaning close.
"You're beautiful." T.K kissed her hand. They leaned
in close, T.K cupped her chin, Kari put her hand on
his shoulder, they were about to kiss each other when
they heard the principal about to crown the Prom King
and Queen.
"Let's go," Kari said, disappointed. She took his hand
and lead him to the stage.
T.K wrapped his arms around her waist.
"This year's Prom Queen is..Hikari Kamiya!"
Kari hugged T.K and made her way to the stage. She
waved to her friends and bent down to receive her
crown.
"The King is..Takeru Takaishi!"
T.K pumped his fist in the air, "All right!" he
cheered. He ran up the steps, got his crown and held
his date's, and his queen's hand.
"Now, the King and Queen will now dance together."
T.K led her down the steps, pulled wrapped his arms
around her waist and pulled her close to him. Kari
rested her arms on his chest. Her head tucked under
his. Their crests, for some reason, began to glow. But
why? They weren't in danger, so why on earth was their
crests glowing?
Digiworld
Patamon digivolve to.Angemon
Gatomon digivolve to..Angewomon
"How, why?" Angemon said, "we, we digivolved,
somehow."
"Oh no," Angewomon shouted, "could Kari and T.K be in
trouble?"
"I sure hope not." Angemon said. "We never digivolved
without them with us before."
Angewomon turned away, crossing her arms. Now, she was
feeling very confused.
Angemon walked up behind Angewomon, placed his hand on
her shoulder and turned her around so he could face
him. "You look sad about something. Tell me what's
wrong."
"I don't know where to begin, Angemon," she said.
"Try."
"I guess it all began when I was separated from you
and the others. I was all alone and then I found
Myotismon. He convinced me that I was evil. You have
no idea what he put me through. I even have scars from
when he beat me."
"Myotismon is dead now," Angemon said, "he'll never
bother you again."
"I know, but I still carry around the scars. He beat
me, just because the way I looked at him some times
when I was Salamon and Gatomon. He didn't like my
eyes."
"Your eyes?"
"Yes," she nodded.
"That fool!" Angemon grunted.
"It was awful," she said.
"I wonder what your eyes look now." He reached for her
helmet.
"No, Angemon," Angewomon said, backing away, "please."
"I only want to look at your eyes," he explained. He
reached to his own helmet, "here, I'll do it first."
He took off his helmet to reveal shining blue eyes
that looked like pools of water. "Your turn."
Reluctantly, Angewomon removed her helmet. Her eyes
were also the same shining blue. "Well?" she said.
"You look like a human." Angemon said. "I wonder what
Myotsimon would think of your eyes now."
Angewomon laughed, looked down at her feet. She
noticed that they were lifting off the ground. "I
wonder what it's like to be human." She muttered.
Angemon took her hand, and pulled her into his arms.
His wings circled around her and she let hers drop to
her sides. "This is the closest to being human I've
ever felt in my life." Angemon said.
"I feel so safe," Angewomon said, laying her head upon
Angemon's chest. "So peaceful all of a sudden, I
wonder what this feeling is."
"It must have a name," Angemon agreed. He looked down
at her, lifted her chin up to him and began running
his fingers through her long hair. "You're, you're
beautiful. I don't know what Myotismon was thinking
when he thought you were evil. You're not evil at all,
Angewomon. You're just too beautiful and kind to be
evil."
"Angemon," Angewomon sighed. A tear fell down her
cheek. Slowly, she brought her hands from his chest to
his shoulders.
Angemon cupped his hands around her head, "Angewomon,
I,--" unable to find what to say, he just leaned in
close, so close that their foreheads touched. They
were breathing heavily. They closed their eyes for
awhile and listened to the sounds around them. The
waves crashing against the shore, their breathing,
their hearts pumping, the wind blowing their hair
around..
They opened their eyes again, "I think I know what
this feeling is, Angemon," Angewomon said. "I think
it's called, well, love."
"Love," Angemon moaned. "Yes, love." He thought about
it for a minute. Angewomon was right. Love sounded
like the name for it, "I love you, Angewomon."
"OH, Angemon," Angewomon sighed, "I love you too."
Now they knew what to do. They leaned closer together,
Angemon put left hand on the back of Angemon's head,
and his right arm around her waist. Angewomon slid her
arms from Angemon's shoulders to his upper back. Their
lips brushed together and that was the key to opened
the door to their love. Softly and tenderly, they
kissed each other. Once their lips touched, they
didn't want the moment to end. They kept kissing and
started to hold each other tighter. They kissed until
they were breathless. They stopped kissing, but
remained in each other's arms.
"That was so, incredible," Angewomon said. "I'm
surprised we never did that before."
"Me too," Angemon agreed. He rubbed his hands across
Angewomon's back. "It was beautiful."
"Angelic," Angewomon breathed, she wrapped her arms
tightly around Angemon's neck, "Heavenly."
"Very."
Still holding each other, they landed on the ground.
They kneeled down in each others arms. They were about
to kiss and then.they de-digivolved, Angemon back to
Patamon, Angewomon back to Gatomon. But they were
still holding each other.
"Patamon," Gatomon said, "when we digivolved?"
"Yes, Gatomon?"
"Did we?" she pulled away from him and raised her
eyebrow.
"Yes." He pulled her back.
Gatomon smiled, "Will we ever do that again?"
"Maybe someday we will." He laid down at the trunk of
a tree and Gatomon laid down next to him, purring.
Earth
"Well, Kari," T.K smiled, walking her up the stairs
to her apartment "I had a great time with you
tonight."
"Me too, T.K," Kari agreed. They stopped right next to
her door and Kari leaned against the wall. "I never
knew you could dance that well."
"Me neither," T.K grinned. They laughed a little and
looked into each other's eyes. T.K caressed her cheek
and leaned forward to kiss her goodnight. The kiss was
warm and nice; Kari's breath tasted like spearmint.
His tasted like fruit punch. "I'll call you soon." He
said. He kissed her on the cheek and left down the
steps. He looked back at her and winked.
"See you soon, T.K!" she waved at him and checked the
knob. Locked. She put her key in the lock and went to
her room to change into her pajamas. She turned on the
light and sat down in front of her desk and looked at
her reflection in the mirror. She saw something in the
mirror. It was Gatomon and Patamon sleeping next to
each other under a tree. Above them was Angemon and
Angewomon holding each other, floating in the air and
looking deep in each other's eyes. Their helmets were
removed. "Strange," Kari said to herself. "How
strange." She took the barrette out of her hair and
took her earrings out. Taking off her crest, she
noticed her digivice. She picked it up, it was warm;
as if it was just used. She looked back at her mirror.
"Gatomon and Patamon..in love?" she asked herself.
"How can it be?"
When T.K returned home, he noticed the same thing. The
image of Gatomon and Patamon sleeping next to each
other. Angemon and Angewomon in each other's arm
floating in the air. "What the?" T.K looked closely in
his mirror.
It was true, their digimon was in love, as if they
were humans. As T.K and Kari grew close together, so
did their digimon. They were linked to them in some
way and was able to feel what love was like. But will
Gatomon and Patamon ever truly understand their
feelings? Will their wish to become human come true,
or will they live as digimon and not be able to feel
real human feelings for the rest of their digi-lives?
Nobody said love was easy!
