Update three and this one doesn't dwell as much as the other one did, but
it's not as long either. I'm trying to put more romance in it now. If
you're reading PLEASE REVIEW, even if it's one word I'd appreciate just as
an indication of how many people are reading this story. Enjoy.
*******The next morning*******
T.K. was the first to wake up, he quietly got up and stepped over the myriad of human and digimon limbs and the assorted other objects scattered around Tai's small room. As he got to the door he found that Davis's legs had it barricaded shut.
"Damn, so close," he muttered to himself. He reached down and grabbed Davis's legs, gently picked them up and put them down, leaving enough room to open the door just wide enough for him to slide through. As he put Davis's legs down he shifted hitting T.K. in the leg and reblocking the door. T.K. let out a muffled groan more of frustration than pain. Davis rolled over and mumbled, "Leeme alone Jun, Tryna shleep." T.K. took this chance and opened the door and slipped out.
In the kitchen he found Kari pouring a bowl of cereal. He walked over to her, put his arms around her, and whispered in her ear, "Morning, how'd you sleep."
"I went to bed and I was out like a log, how 'bout you?" she replied.
"I wish I could say the same as you, I had Tai's snoring, Veemon was restless, and Davis kicked me in the back. But I actually got enough sleep."
"Good, I was worried."
"So, I guess it's cereal for breakfast then."
"Yeah, mom hasn't been shopping in a while, I think she and dad only been home for about ten minutes in two days."
"Do you know where they are?"
"Out of town on business is all they have told me."
"Oh well, it makes having guests and the digimon here a hell of a lot easier."
"I could just imagine what would happen If she sae Gatomon, Kari why has that cat got gloves? Even worse, Agumon never mind the rest." They laughed quietly. T.K. poured his cereal and then they took a seat in the lounge. They ate in silence just enjoying each other's company (A/N Coz the author is fresh outta topics for them to talk about). T.K. turned on the TV, he flicked over to the morning weather. The weatherman came on screen, "The electrical storm in the odaiba district is showing no signs of letting up."
"Damn this weather, I hate it" T.K. said disappointed.
"So do I but we can't change it." After she had finished speaking, the electricity went out.
"Great, now what."
"I guess we have to wait until the power comes back, we can't do anything much." Davis then emerged from Tai's room, Veemon was right behind him.
"Morning," Kari said as they entered.
"Mmm," was Davis's only reply, Veemon said nothing.
"You're real morning people aren't you,"
"Mmm," they replied.
"There's cereal on the table, we can't have much else," Kari said.
"Yeah, power's out," T.K. pointed out. As he finished the lights came on.
"Nice joke T.S., but then why are the lights on," Davis replied. They then began to flash. Tai then entered the room, "Kari, now's not the time for a party. "
"Um Tai, we're over here," T.K. said as the were far away from any switches.
"O..K.., um there's only one explanation for this, the house is haunted," Tai said sounding as serious as he could.
"Come on Tai be serious for once in your life," Kari replied, not amused at all, Davis was trying to hold in his laughs but he couldn't. He burst out laughing, "You two are a real riot," he said once he had calmed himself down.
"Davis!" Kari shouted glaring at him.
"Sorry," he replied in a soft voice. "She's vicious," he whispered to Tai.
"Tell me about it, wait till she can't find her camera," Tai replied.
"Jokes aside, what are we gonna do?" T.K. asked.
"Stop worrying, it's probably just the electric company," Tai said. Davis heard the beeping of his D-terminal so he pulled it out.
"It's mail from Izzy…" Davis started.
"What's it say?" Tai asked enthusiastically.
"I was getting to that," Davis continued, "apparently he has news from that deadel-whatsit guy, so he wants to meet."
"Where and when?" T.K. asked.
"He said to be in the park an twelve."
"Well, it's 11:00 now so we'd better get ready."
"Don't worry, we've got plenty of time," Tai said confidently.
"I knew you'd say that, so you can email him and tell him we'll be there and not to email T.K. or Davis," Kari replied, then she left the room and entered her own.
"Well, I guess that Davis and I will have to wear what we wore yesterday," T.K. said.
"Well, I'll get dressed first.," Davis said leaving the room. He went into Tai's room.
"Are we gonna take our digimon with us?" T.K. asked.
"Well it's up to them, but I think we should, who knows what they could do while we're out."
"True," T.K. said.
"Hey T.K., you can get dressed now," Davis shouted from down the hall. T.K. walked into Tai's room and got changed. He came out a few minutes later, Patamon and Agumon were with him.
"Tai, what's up?" Agumon asked.
"We're going to meet Izzy at the park, wanna come?"
"Sure, finally get out of the house."
"Don't forget, you'll have to ride in the bag."
"Oh well, I'm getting used to it."
"That's good to hear."
"Hey Tai, hurry up and get ready!" Kari urged from the hall.
"T.K.'s using my room."
"Too bad, tell him to hurry up."
"What going on, why are you shouting?" T.K. asked, little confused.
"There you go, now hurry up."
"Fine, I'm going." Tai said and went into his room.
"Sorry T.K., Tai was taking too long," Kari explained.
"What to wear, what to wear… so many choices, so little time," Tai mumbled to himself. He decided on the usual. He left his room and went into the bathroom and found Davis already occupying it trying to do his hair.
"Move over Davis, I need the basin."
"No you don't, you just let your hair run wild."
"Hey, I have to guide it, get it right."
"Well I'm finished anyway so it's all yours." Davis walked out and Tai quickly finished his hair then walked into the lounge where everyone was waiting. They got their things together, put the digimon in the bags and left.
*******The Park*******
They were surprisingly not the last to arrive, Matt, Mimi, Yolei, and Cody were not there yet. Tai and the rest were across from the park from where Izzy, Joe, and Sora were waiting, under a shelter. The rain was really coming down by this point.
"Great day to pick to meet in the park Izzy," Davis said, angry about getting soaked.
"Sorry Davis, but I had to pick somewhere that was close to everyone and this was the first place that came to mind."
"I guess that's ok."
"Hey Sora," Tai said.
"Oh, Tai, it's good to see you. Tai moved over next to her and sat down on the table. He reached for her hand and took it. They looked at each other and smiled. They put their bags down under the table. Veemon was the first to stick his head out of the bag, "Finally, no more bouncing."
"Yeah, I know what you're talking about," Agumon agreed as he surfaced. By now they had all stuck their heads out.
"What are you complaining about being wet for, I'm dry as a bone," Veemon said.
"You were in a waterproof bag," Davis snapped.
"So?"
"Well, on the way back I'll get in the bag and you can carry me home, then see how dry you are?"
"Okay, I'm sorry."
"Hey guys," Joe said from behind them.
"Hey Joe, how've you been?" Tai asked.
"Yeah, it's been a while," he replied.
"What you been up to?" T.K. asked.
"Nothing much, dad says I should be studying for our finals next term."
"Yeah, I forgot about those," Tai said insecurely.
"I can't believe we'll have finished school in a few weeks." Sora said.
"Yeah, unless we fail and have to redo the entire year, with the embarrassment of being a failure, everyone will hate us, they'll taunt and tease…"
"Get a grip Joe, if anyone's going to fail it'll be me or Matt, besides there's plenty of time before finals," Tai said calming Joe down.
"Yeah you're right." Joe said, a lot more calm than before. Davis, Izzy and Kari were talking about the odd things that were happening. "Look guys, I'll explain when we're all here," Izzy said.
"Come on Izzy, I wanna know," Davis said impatiently.
"There they are, can you wait five minutes?" Izzy asked, getting a little annoyed.
"I guess so…" Davis replied. Mimi and Matt were sprinting across the park and getting soaked. Joe ran out with his umbrella and met them half way, keeping them dry. They ran back to the shelter.
"Whose idea was this again?" Matt asked as he arrived at the shelter.
"I called the meeting," Izzy replied.
"Oh man, I thought you were supposed to be the smart one," Matt said. Shortly after Mimi elbowed him in the stomach, he groaned then sat down.
"Sorry Izzy."
"That's okay, I didn't think when I said the park."
"Hey, thanks for the cover Joe," Mimi thanked.
"That's alright, I know how much you like rain," Joe replied.
"Anyway, now that we're all here, we can get started," Izzy said, formally initiating the meeting.
"But where are Yolei and Cody?" Kari asked.
"Well, they're not coming," Izzy replied.
"Why not?" Davis asked
"Yolei and her family went away on holiday, and she invited Cody to go with." (A/N Get the idea I don't like writing about certain people, But who could they be… Hmm)
"Man, they just don't think about the digital world," Davis said, really annoyed.
"Well forget about them, with the nine of us we won't need them," Izzy replied, "But I know what you mean."
"So why'd you call us here?" Matt asked, also impatient.
"Yeah, enough with the waiting, tell us," Davis continued.
"Okay, jeez keep your shirt on. As I said in the email, Daedelus has contacted me again…"
"What does he want?" Sora asked.
"I was getting to that," Izzy said getting really annoyed. "He want's to meet us, in person."
"When? Where?" Tai asked.
"WILL YOU BE QUIET!!" everyone stopped and looked at him in amazement.
"Sorry," Tai said sheepishly.
"Now let me finish. He wants to meet us in the digital world, at 5:00 PM tonight. He says he can explain the weird things that have been going on." No one said anything. "I'm finished now."
"One question," Tai started.
"What is it?"
"If he's an artificial intelligence, how can we meet him?"
"I don't know. He's given me the co-ordinants, they're on my home computer so we'll have to leave from there."
"This is odd," Mimi said, "But I trust you Izzy."
"Okay, great, everybody should meet at my house at 4:30."
"We'll be there," Matt said.
"Yeah, you can count on it," Tai added convincingly.
"Well, I suggest we go home, get some dry clothes and then meet at my house," Izzy suggested.
"Sounds like a plan," Matt agreed.
"Alright, see you guys later," Sora said. They all said goodbye, the digimon popped back in the bags, and went their separate ways. Tai, Kari, Davis and Sora went in one direction, Matt, T.K. and Mimi went another and Izzy and Joe went another. Davis was the first to leave Tai's group, then Sora left and it was just Tai and Kari. They got home and began their preparations.
*******Matt, Mimi and T.K.*******
Matt, Mimi and T.K. were walking slowly as they didn't have far to go. They eventually came to Matt and T.K.'s building. "Hey T.K., take Gabumon inside for me, he's kinda heavy and I wanna walk Mimi home."
"Sure thing, you can collect him when you get back."
"Hey, I'm not just something you can drop and collect, don't I get a say in what I do?" Gabumon said feeling very neglected.
"Sorry Gabumon, do you mind?"
"No, not at all, I actually prefer this option."
"Great."
"You know you don't have to walk me home."
"Yeah, but I want to, the less time we're apart the better."
"See ya in about 20 minutes T.K."
"Okay, bye." He said as he entered the building. Matt took Mimi's hand and started walking. They were quiet for a while until Mimi broke the silence, "Matt,"
"Yeah Mimi,"
"About what you said back there, I've been thinking a lot about it lately."
"What did I say."
"Not wanting to be apart, well I agree."
"Yeah and."
"Well, when this is over I want to move in with you Matt, after finals and all."
"Mimi, you know I'd love that, it'd be great, but what about your parents, what will they say."
"I don't know, but this is something I want to do, no matter what."
"Well, I'll be there, right by your side."
"Thanks Matt." The silence resumed for a short while until they arrived at Mimi's house.
"We're here," Matt said.
"Well, I guess I'll see you later then."
"Bye," Matt said, Mimi began walking into her building but before she got away Matt grabbed her arm and pulled her into a kiss. The held in each others embrace until Matt let go.
"Thank you Matt," Mimi said almost crying.
"For what?"
"For being you." She then walked inside and Matt was alone.
Ahh how sweet, what comes next, the walk home or maybe something more interesting (Yeah right). Stay tuned for part four
