"Daedelous, what do we do?" Izzy asked desperately.
"I don't know children, will find a way to stop him," he replied.
"There must be something we can do," Sora said.
"PEPPER BREATH!"
"BLUE BLASTER!"
"SUPER SHOCKER!"
"SPIRAL TWISTER!"
"MARCHING FISHES!"
"VEEHEADBUT!"
"BOOM BUBBLE!"
"LIGHTNING CLAW!"
"POISON IVY!"
Their attacks flew threw the air and hit Helios directly. It didn't even scratch him.
"It's the thought that counts guys," Tai said encouragingly.
"Fools, you can't defeat me," Helios said ominously.
"We have to do something, Daedelous, can you fix the digivolving problem?" Izzy asked.
"I should be able to, give me a minute," he replied. Helios laughed emphatically.
"You won't be laughing soon," Matt shouted.
"Oh really, I hope you're friend can hurry because soon you'll all be destroyed," Helios said confidently.
"Guys, get back in the barriers," Tai said. They entered the barriers just as Helios began moving again.
"You can't stay in there forever," he bellowed. Daedelous repapered, "It's done," he said then turned and saw Helios.
"You are strange to me Daedelous, why do you helping them?"
"These children have respect for a world that is not theirs and risk their lives constantly to protect it. I help them because they are truly selfless."
"Fool, then you shall share their fate. TERRA DESTROYER." The attack hit him directly but nothing happened.
"You, you aren't human. You are the other like me."
"I've heard enough, Agumon, it's time you digivolved."
"Right. Agumon warp digivolve to Wargreymon."
"Gabumon, you know what to do."
"Gabumon warp digivolve to Metalgarurumon."
"TERRA FORCE!"
"ICE WOLF CLAW!"
Helios vanished, then reappeared letting the attacks miss completely (A\N Dragon Ball Z style).
"Fools, you cannot defeat me like that, I can move faster than your digimon and even if you did hit me what do you expect it to do, hurt me. Ha ha ha, you can't defeat me."
"But I think I can," Daedelous said. "Children, I want to thank you for making me feel like I belonged, these have been the best days of my existence. I cannot delete his file as I don't have access, but I know what must be done."
"No, you can't do that, it's impossible," Helios said sounding very afraid.
"I can and I will," at that he disappeared.
"No, this is your fault. Protecting this world will be the end of you, I'll make sure of it, even if I can't be here to watch it," he said, then disappeared.
"Daedelous? Helios?" Tai said doubtfully. Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon dedigivolved to their rookie states.
"What happened? Where did the go?" Sora asked confused.
"Izzy, do you know anything about this?" Joe asked.
"I don't have a clue," Izzy replied.
"What are we supposed to do?" T.K. asked.
"Well, I don't think that he would have left voluntarily, so I guess we can go home," Tai said unsurely.
"Yeah, maybe that would be best, I'm a little tired," Matt agreed.
"But what if he's not destroyed, you heard what he said."
"I know, but I don't think that whatever it was he was talking about has happened," Izzy said.
"Yeah, he was just a sore loser," Davis said.
"I think we could all benefit from a little R+R," Kari suggested. They decided that it was a good idea to leave, as there was nothing they could do. They walked in silence to the exit, no body knew quiet what to say. They exited through the gate and arrived back at Izzy's apartment. It was a warm summer night, Odaiba had returned to heatwave conditions, as Helios was gone. They got back and were again cramped in Izzy's small bedroom. Tired and frustrated they broke off and went straight home. Mimi went to Matt's apartment for the night. Tai took Sora home, then returned to his own. T.K. and Kari went to Kari's apartment. Joe and Davis went home alone (A\N Ahh.) They decided the digimon should go with them because they were all feeling depressed.
*******Kamiya residence*******
T.K. and Kari arrived home first as expected. They found Kari's parents waiting in the lounge. They looked worried.
"Kari," Mrs Kamiya said as she rushed over to her and hugged her.
"Hi mom," Kari replied. Mrs Kamiya let go of her.
"Hello honey," Mr Kamiya said, hugging Kari.
"Hi dad," she replied. They let go of each other.
"Kari, where's your brother?" Mrs Kamiya asked worriedly.
"He's fine mom, they let him out of hospital this morning. He was just walking Sora home and should be here any minute," Kari replied. She let out a sigh of relief. It was then they noticed T.K.
"Hello T.K., it's nice to see you," Mrs Kamiya greeted.
"Hi Mrs Kamiya. How are you?" he asked politely.
"I'm fine, just a little shaken," she replied.
"Don't worry, Tai really is fine, he bounced right back onto his feet," T.K. said confidently.
"I'm sure I'll feel better when I see him," Mrs Kamiya replied.
Would you two like something to drink?" Mr Kamiya asked from the kitchen.
"Sure, I'd love some coffee," T.K. replied.
"Yeah, I'll have one too," Kari added.
"Okay, coming right up," He replied smiling.
"Do you want something to eat with that?" Mrs Kamiya asked.
"No, I'll be fine," T.K. replied.
"No thanks mom," Kari said.
"I'm going to start on dinner," Mrs Kamiya said.
"That sounds good honey, what's it going to be?" Mr Kamiya asked.
"I got a new recipe book on the way home, I'm going to try tofu meatloaf."
"Great," he relied.
"Yeah, I'm sure it'll be great," T.K. added. Kari gave him a confused look.
"We'll be in my room," Kari announced. She and T.K. left the room with Patamon and Gatomon. Mr Kamiya continued with the drinks while Mrs Kamiya got the ingredients from various places.
Tai took the elevator up as it was now working. He pressed the button for the seventh floor. The elevator jerked, then it moaned as it went up the shaft. It reached the seventh floor and stopped with a clang. Tai had been lost in his thoughts and this gave him a shock back to reality. He proceeded out of the door and to his apartment. He slipped his key in the door, not thinking that it would be unlocked and walked in. He went down the short hall and into the kitchen.
"Tai!" Mrs Kamiya said as he walked in.
"HI mom," he said as she ran up to him and hugged him, she squeezed and Tai let out a slight moan.
"Sorry," she apologised.
"Hey son," Mr Kamiya greeted.
"Hey Dad," he replied walking over to him. They hugged and he patted his son on the back.
"How do you feel?" Mrs Kamiya asked worriedly.
"I'm fine mom, I'm just a little tired.
"What happened to you?" Mr Kamiya asked.
"I was on my way to Sora's place and I slipped and fell down the stairs. Luckily a neighbour came out and saw me. I told her I was looking for Sora and she called her, then she called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital," Tai explained. He did not like having to lie to his parents but he couldn't tell them the truth. They wouldn't' like to know that he'd had to go back to the digital world, that was a bad experience for them the first time.
"How bad are you injured?" Mrs Kamiya asked.
"Well, I've got six stiches on my head," he started then lifted his hair revealing the bandage, "And I broke a rib," he continued. He put down his bag, then lifted his shirt and showed them the bandages around his ribs. She looked horrified.
"It's not bad mom, the doctor says I'll be fine, I just need some rest," he said.
"Then where were you today?" Mr Kamiya asked.
"I was at Matt's. He, Mimi, Sora and me were just hanging out. Nothing strenuous, I promise."
"Good, but what did you need the bag for?" she asked.
"Oh that, nothing, just force of habit picking it up," he said, clambering for an excuse. "I think I'm gonna go to my room and lay down for a while."
"Here, take these for T.K. and Kari," Mr Kamiya said handing him the two coffees.
"Dinner will be in an hour," Mrs Kamiya said. Tai picked up his bag, (A\N with Agumon in it for all those he aren't keeping up with my presumptions), and took the coffees to Kari and T.K. He knocked don the door and opened it. Kari and T.K. were sitting on her bed and talking to each other. Patamon and Gatomon were on the couch in her room sleeping.
"Hey Tai," Kari greeted.
"Hey," he replied. T.K. got up and took the coffees from him and put them down on the table.
"What are you guys talking about?" Tai asked.
"Stuff," T.K. replied.
"I see..." Tai said cheekily.
"No you don't," Kari said sternly.
"Sorry. Well, I'm going to lie down for a while," Tai announced.
"Alright, see you at dinner," Kari said.
"Remember our little wager," Tai said.
"You really don't like her cooking," T.K. said, sounding unsure.
"She's a great cook, it's what she cooks that's the problem," Tai replied.
"I see," T.K. said. Tai then walked out and shut the door behind him. He walked into his room and set his bag down. Agumon clambered out.
"Still a mess I see," he said.
"When isn't it," Tai said.
"I suppose you have a point."
"I'm gonna get some sleep."
"Yeah, good idea." Tai and Agumon fell on the bed and went to sleep.
*******Dinner*******
"Tai, Kari, T.K., diners ready," Mrs Kamiya shouted from the kitchen.
"We'll bring you guys some food," Kari said walking out. She went over to Tai's door and knocked.
"Uhh, I'm coming," he said trying to wake up. He slid out of his bed and left Agumon sleeping. He left his room and entered the kitchen, the smell was less than convincing. He looked at T.K., his facial expression confirmed Tai's feeling. They sat down at the table.
"So what are you serving for dinner?" T.K. asked.
"Well it's a new recipe," Mrs Kamiya started excitedly, "It's a tofu meatloaf with a side of crisp onion hash browns and a cheese sauce." T.K.'s face returned to it's worried expression. Tai leant over to T.K. and whispered, "How do you feel now?" T.K. glared at him now sitting up straight. Mrs Kamiya came over to the table with a big dish of food. She dished up the food and they began eating. Tai ate truckloads regardless of the taste, T.K. ate a decent portion considering it was his first time tasting Mrs Kamiya's style of food. Kari and the rest ate their usual amounts. After dinner Tai, T.K. and Kari decided to go to bed, but first they had to get food for Gatomon, Patamon and Agumon. He had joined Patamon and Gatomon after he woke up when they were eating. Tai, T.K., Patamon and Agumon all slept in Tai's room.
*******The next morning*******
Tai woke up to the noise of breakfast. Mr Kamiya was clambering around for his things for work, Mrs Kamiya was eating and T.K. and Kari were in the lounge watching TV. He climbed out of bed and tried to stand. He felt head rush coming on so he sat back down. He looked around and found that Agumon was not in his room. He got up and walked down the hall and into the lounge. T.K. was strewn across one couch and Kari was sitting up on the other. Tai walked into the lounge and approached Kari. She and T.K. turned to face him,
"Hey," they greeted.
"Hey guys," he replied. He leant down to Kari, "Do you know the whereabouts of our `guests'?" Tai whispered.
"Uh, Gatomon was in my room, weren't the other two in your room?" Kari replied.
"Yes, but they aren't now," Tai replied as calmly as he could.
"Morning Son," Mr Kamiya said from the kitchen.
"Hi honey," Mrs Kamiya greeted coming in from the study.
"Are you guys going to work?" Tai said looking over to them.
"Yeah, they're letting us go in to the regional office here for a few days because of your injuries," she replied.
"That was kind of them," Tai replied.
"Yeah, but we'd better get going. Kari, you can go out today but be sure to be home by five, we need to talk tonight. Tai, make sure she's here. And feel better son," she said walking out the door.
"Bye guys, have fun," Mr Kamiya said smiling as he left.
"What's she talking about?" Kari said confused. Tai and T.K. looked at each other, "It's a surprise, nothing bad," Tai said.
"Ah, tell me," Kari begged.
"No, we promised we wouldn't," T.K. replied.
"You're in on this too," Kari said.
"Yeah, not for long though."
"This isn't fair, I wanna know. Tell me!" Kari pleaded.
"Nope, we can't," Tai said obnoxiously.
"Grrr, you're enjoying this," Kari said then threw a cushion at him.
"Can I briefly interrupt this family talk and remind you we still don't know where any of our digimon are," T.K. said.
"Oh right, maybe we should look for them," Tai suggested. They got up and walked down the hall. They first went into Kari's room and looked around in there. They didn't find them and decided to check in Tai's room. They rifled through the myriad of clothes and assorted other junk but could not see any trace of them.
"Well, I'm sure they're not here," T.K. said picking up a sweaty sock.
"Yeah," Kari agreed.
"Maybe they went into the bathroom," Tai said.
"Why would they do that, I don't think they know what taking a shower is," T.K. said.
"True. I hope they didn't decide to try and learn," Tai replied. Their faces changed to worried expressions at the thought and they rushed to the bathroom and thankfully they weren't there.
"You guys check mom's room, I'll take the study," Tai suggested. He went down the hall and entered the messy room. He looked around the room, all was quiet. Out of nowhere there was a small rustle of paper.
"Come on out guys," Tai announced to the empty room. Patamon flew out from behind a book on top of the bookshelf, Gatomon came out from the cupboard, and Agumon walked out from under a pile of papers.
"Kari, T.K., they're in here," Tai yelled at the top of his voice. Kari and T.K. entered the room.
"Yeha, it's okay you don't have to yell," Kari said.
"So what are you guys doing in here?" Tai asked in a superior tone.
"Well, I was feeling a bit hungry when I woke up so I decided I needed something to eat," Agumon started.
"Yeah, so he came into Kari's room and asked us if we wanted something, and we did," Patamon continued.
"So we want into the kitchen and started making a snack..." Gatomon continued.
"But your mom came in," Agumon interrupted.
"Hey!" Gatomon protested.
"What?" Agumon asked.
"You interrupted me."
"Well I was telling the story in the first place."
"Yeah, but that doesn't give you the right to interrupt."
"What ever, so your mom came in and we had to hide so we dived into the study."
"But then your dad came in," Gatomon interrupted.
"Hey!" Agumon said.
"Rude isn't it," Gatomon bragged.
"Alright, enough arguing. Patamon, why don't you carry on with the story," Tai said.
"So then we thought we were safe but your dad came in and we had to hide so that's why we were here," Patamon finished the story.
"Well that'll teach you a lesson," T.K. said.
"How about we get some breakfast?" Kari suggested.
*******Matt's apartment*******
Matt was the first to wake for a change. He and Mimi had been very tired the night before and had eaten and gone straight to bed. Palmon and Gabumon were sleeping in the lounge on the couch. Matt's room was actually quite large, but he didn't have much in it. There was a spare room across the hall that was currently used for storage. His bathroom was big as well. He battled to open his eyes and when he did he found it was late morning, the sun was beaming through the window. He then turned and found Mimi next to him. She was sleeping tranquilly and didn't stir. A crash came from the road below, "Hey watch it you moron!" a voice yelled. Mimi moved then woke to find Matt right there beside her. This startled her and Matt placed his hand on her shoulder, "It's okay Mimi, I'm here," he said calmly.
"Matt! What are you doing in my room?" she said surprised.
"Um Mimi, take a look around." She looked around the large bedroom to find it was not pink and was not hers.
"Oh, what's going on?"
"You're in my room, remember, we were tired and decided to hang in here. We lay on the bed and I had some music on but you drifted to sleep in my arms. I turned off the music and let you sleep, I planned to move to the couch but I didn't want to move you too soon as it would wake you. I must have fallen asleep as well."
"Oh, thankyou for being so sweet, you could have gone you know. But this means we slept together."
"I didn't try anything, I promise, I wouldn't do that."
"I know, I wouldn't accuse you of something like that, it's just... nice."
"I won't lie and say I didn't like it, but I'll get another bed in here when you move in."
"I'll have to decorate, that'll be fun."
"I'm sure you'll rise to the challenge." They sat in silence for a while enjoying the calm sounds of summer.
"What's the time?" Mimi asked. Matt looked over to his stereo, the cyan numerals gleamed back at him.
"It's nine thirty."
"Maybe we should get up."
"Yeah, I'll go get a start on breakfast," Matt said. They got out of the bed, Mimi went to the bathroom for a shower while Matt went to the kitchen and started on breakfast. He entered the kitchen and looked around, the kitchen was also clean. He looked over into the lounge to see Gabumon and Palmon on the couch sleeping. He got out a pan and set it on the stovetop. He opened the fridge and got out two eggs, he took them to the counter and saw that Gabumon was no longer on the couch.
"Morning Matt, whatcha making?" he greeted.
"Hey. I'm making fried eggs and bacon, you want?" Matt asked.
"Yeah, that'd be great, I'm starved, you'd better make for Palmon, she'd want some too."
"So that's four eggs and eight bacon pieces. Matt got two additional eggs and placed them with the others on the counter top, then he collected the bacon from his freezer. He place some fat in the pan and turned on the plate. The fat quickly came to temperature and he cracked the eggs and placed them in the pan. While they cooked he put down some toast and defrosted the bacon. The eggs soon finished cooking and he put them in the oven to keep warm.
"That smells good," Gabumon said, who had been standing by him all this time.
"If you're hinting that you want some, you'll have to wait till I'm finished," Matt replied.
"But I'm hungry."
"You're a digimon, I think you guys are supposed to be hungry. Now why don't you wait in the lounge and watch some TV."
"Alright," Gabumon said pitifully, then walked into the lounge. Matt continued with the breakfast, he fried the bacon and cooked some toasting. Mimi walked into the kitchen, she was wearing a short denim skirt and a small top, pink of course.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Toastin'," Matt replied.
"Seriously Matt," Mimi said.
"I'm making breakfast, what's it look like?"
"But what are you making, this is not what I expected," Mimi said, a little puzzled.
"It's fried eggs and bacon," Matt replied taking the eggs from the oven. He placed the toast on the four plates that were on the table and put the eggs on them.
"That looks really good," Mimi said.
"Well, if you want to help out can put the salt an cutlery on the table. It wasn't really anything flash, just a spare set that he took from his father. She took out two knives and two forks, (A\N I don't think digimon can use cutlery). Matt put the bacon on the plates and took it to the table.
"Alright, you can come and eat now guys," Matt called to the digimon. They came to the table and began eating.
After breakfast Matt took a shower and Mimi was kind enough to wash the dishes. They sat in the lounge, and were talking.
"What should we do today?" Mimi said.
"I don't know, I guess we could hang around here, or go to someone else's," Matt suggested.
"Nah, it's such a nice day, we should do something," Mimi said. "I know, let's go to the beach. We are in the middle of a heat wave you know."
"That's a great idea," Gabumon agreed entering the conversation.
"Alright, I'll call everyone and tell them to meet us there.
There you have it, the climactic battle, and an extra 1000 words or so. Well that's it for the story, and there's only gonna be one more chapter to this story. But I am writing a sequel, despite the lack of response. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!! I'm desperate here, especially for any plotlines or tittles you have for the sequel.
"I don't know children, will find a way to stop him," he replied.
"There must be something we can do," Sora said.
"PEPPER BREATH!"
"BLUE BLASTER!"
"SUPER SHOCKER!"
"SPIRAL TWISTER!"
"MARCHING FISHES!"
"VEEHEADBUT!"
"BOOM BUBBLE!"
"LIGHTNING CLAW!"
"POISON IVY!"
Their attacks flew threw the air and hit Helios directly. It didn't even scratch him.
"It's the thought that counts guys," Tai said encouragingly.
"Fools, you can't defeat me," Helios said ominously.
"We have to do something, Daedelous, can you fix the digivolving problem?" Izzy asked.
"I should be able to, give me a minute," he replied. Helios laughed emphatically.
"You won't be laughing soon," Matt shouted.
"Oh really, I hope you're friend can hurry because soon you'll all be destroyed," Helios said confidently.
"Guys, get back in the barriers," Tai said. They entered the barriers just as Helios began moving again.
"You can't stay in there forever," he bellowed. Daedelous repapered, "It's done," he said then turned and saw Helios.
"You are strange to me Daedelous, why do you helping them?"
"These children have respect for a world that is not theirs and risk their lives constantly to protect it. I help them because they are truly selfless."
"Fool, then you shall share their fate. TERRA DESTROYER." The attack hit him directly but nothing happened.
"You, you aren't human. You are the other like me."
"I've heard enough, Agumon, it's time you digivolved."
"Right. Agumon warp digivolve to Wargreymon."
"Gabumon, you know what to do."
"Gabumon warp digivolve to Metalgarurumon."
"TERRA FORCE!"
"ICE WOLF CLAW!"
Helios vanished, then reappeared letting the attacks miss completely (A\N Dragon Ball Z style).
"Fools, you cannot defeat me like that, I can move faster than your digimon and even if you did hit me what do you expect it to do, hurt me. Ha ha ha, you can't defeat me."

"What happened? Where did the go?" Sora asked confused.
"Izzy, do you know anything about this?" Joe asked.
"I don't have a clue," Izzy replied.
"What are we supposed to do?" T.K. asked.
"Well, I don't think that he would have left voluntarily, so I guess we can go home," Tai said unsurely.
"Yeah, maybe that would be best, I'm a little tired," Matt agreed.
"But what if he's not destroyed, you heard what he said."
"I know, but I don't think that whatever it was he was talking about has happened," Izzy said.
"Yeah, he was just a sore loser," Davis said.
"I think we could all benefit from a little R+R," Kari suggested. They decided that it was a good idea to leave, as there was nothing they could do. They walked in silence to the exit, no body knew quiet what to say. They exited through the gate and arrived back at Izzy's apartment. It was a warm summer night, Odaiba had returned to heatwave conditions, as Helios was gone. They got back and were again cramped in Izzy's small bedroom.

"When isn't it," Tai said.
"I suppose you have a point."
"I'm gonna get some sleep."
"Yeah, good idea." Tai and Agumon fell on the bed and went to sleep.
*******Dinner*******
"Tai, Kari, T.K., diners ready," Mrs Kamiya shouted from the kitchen.
"We'll bring you guys some food," Kari said walking out. She went over to Tai's door and knocked.
"Uhh, I'm coming," he said trying to wake up. He slid out of his bed and left Agumon sleeping. He left his room and entered the kitchen, the smell was less than convincing. He looked at T.K., his facial expression confirmed Tai's feeling. They sat down at the table.
"So what are you serving for dinner?" T.K. asked.
"Well it's a new recipe," Mrs Kamiya started excitedly, "It's a tofu meatloaf with a side of crisp onion hash browns and a cheese sauce." T.K.'s face returned to it's worried expression. Tai leant over to T.K. and whispered, "How do you feel now?" T.K. glared at him now sitting up straight. Mrs Kamiya came over to the table with a big dish of food. She dished up the food and they began eating. Tai ate truckloads regardless of the taste, T.K. ate a decent portion considering it was his first time tasting Mrs Kamiya's style of food. Kari and the rest ate their usual amounts. After dinner Tai, T.K. and Kari decided to go to bed, but first they had to get food for Gatomon, Patamon and Agumon. He had joined Patamon and Gatomon after he woke up when they were eating. Tai, T.K., Patamon and Agumon all slept in Tai's room.
*******The next morning*******
Tai woke up to the noise of breakfast. Mr Kamiya was clambering around for his things for work, Mrs Kamiya was eating and T.K. and Kari were in the lounge watching TV. He climbed out of bed and tried to stand. He felt head rush coming on so he sat back down. He looked around and found that Agumon was not in his room. He got up and walked down the hall and into the lounge. T.K. was strewn across one couch and Kari was sitting up on the other. Tai walked into the lounge and approached Kari. She and T.K. turned to face him,
"Hey," they greeted.
"Hey guys," he replied. He leant down to Kari, "Do you know the whereabouts of our `guests'?" Tai whispered.
"Uh, Gatomon was in my room, weren't the other two in your room?" Kari replied.
"Yes, but they aren't now," Tai replied as calmly as he could.
"Morning Son," Mr Kamiya said from the kitchen.
"Hi honey," Mrs Kamiya greeted coming in from the study.
"Are you guys going to work?" Tai said looking over to them.
"Yeah, they're letting us go in to the regional office here for a few days because of your injuries," she replied.
"That was kind of them," Tai replied.
"Yeah, but we'd better get going. Kari, you can go out today but be sure to be home by five, we need to talk tonight. Tai, make sure she's here. And feel better son," she said walking out the door.
"Bye guys, have fun," Mr Kamiya said smiling as he left.
"What's she talking about?" Kari said confused. Tai and T.K. looked at each other, "It's a surprise, nothing bad," Tai said.
"Ah, tell me," Kari begged.
"No, we promised we wouldn't," T.K. replied.
"You're in on this too," Kari said.
"Yeah, not for long though."
"This isn't fair, I wanna know. Tell me!" Kari pleaded.
"Nope, we can't," Tai said obnoxiously.
"Grrr, you're enjoying this," Kari said then threw a cushion at him.
"Can I briefly interrupt this family talk and remind you we still don't know where any of our digimon are," T.K. said.
"Oh right, maybe we should look for them," Tai suggested. They got up and walked down the hall. They first went into Kari's room and looked around in there. They didn't find them and decided to check in Tai's room. They rifled through the myriad of clothes and assorted other junk but could not see any trace of them.
"Well, I'm sure they're not here," T.K. said picking up a sweaty sock.
"Yeah," Kari agreed.
"Maybe they went into the bathroom," Tai said.
"Why would they do that, I don't think they know what taking a shower is," T.K. said.
"True. I hope they didn't decide to try and learn," Tai replied. Their faces changed to worried expressions at the thought and they rushed to the bathroom and thankfully they weren't there.
"You guys check mom's room, I'll take the study," Tai suggested. He went down the hall and entered the messy room. He looked around the room, all was quiet. Out of nowhere there was a small rustle of paper.
"Come on out guys," Tai announced to the empty room. Patamon flew out from behind a book on top of the bookshelf, Gatomon came out from the cupboard, and Agumon walked out from under a pile of papers.
"Kari, T.K., they're in here," Tai yelled at the top of his voice. Kari and T.K. entered the room.
"Yeha, it's okay you don't have to yell," Kari said.
"So what are you guys doing in here?" Tai asked in a superior tone.
"Well, I was feeling a bit hungry when I woke up so I decided I needed something to eat," Agumon started.
"Yeah, so he came into Kari's room and asked us if we wanted something, and we did," Patamon continued.
"So we want into the kitchen and started making a snack..." Gatomon continued.
"But your mom came in," Agumon interrupted.
"Hey!" Gatomon protested.
"What?" Agumon asked.
"You interrupted me."
"Well I was telling the story in the first place."
"Yeah, but that doesn't give you the right to interrupt."
"What ever, so your mom came in and we had to hide so we dived into the study."
"But then your dad came in," Gatomon interrupted.
"Hey!" Agumon said.
"Rude isn't it," Gatomon bragged.
"Alright, enough arguing. Patamon, why don't you carry on with the story," Tai said.
"So then we thought we were safe but your dad came in and we had to hide so that's why we were here," Patamon finished the story.
"Well that'll teach you a lesson," T.K. said.
"How about we get some breakfast?" Kari suggested.
*******Matt's apartment*******
Matt was the first to wake for a change. He and Mimi had been very tired the night before and had eaten and gone straight to bed. Palmon and Gabumon were sleeping in the lounge on the couch. Matt's room was actually quite large, but he didn't have much in it. There was a spare room across the hall that was currently used for storage. His bathroom was big as well. He battled to open his eyes and when he did he found it was late morning, the sun was beaming through the window. He then turned and found Mimi next to him. She was sleeping tranquilly and didn't stir. A crash came from the road below, "Hey watch it you moron!" a voice yelled. Mimi moved then woke to find Matt right there beside her. This startled her and Matt placed his hand on her shoulder, "It's okay Mimi, I'm here," he said calmly.
"Matt! What are you doing in my room?" she said surprised.
"Um Mimi, take a look around." She looked around the large bedroom to find it was not pink and was not hers.
"Oh, what's going on?"
"You're in my room, remember, we were tired and decided to hang in here. We lay on the bed and I had some music on but you drifted to sleep in my arms. I turned off the music and let you sleep, I planned to move to the couch but I didn't want to move you too soon as it would wake you. I must have fallen asleep as well."
"Oh, thankyou for being so sweet, you could have gone you know. But this means we slept together."
"I didn't try anything, I promise, I wouldn't do that."
"I know, I wouldn't accuse you of something like that, it's just... nice."
"I won't lie and say I didn't like it, but I'll get another bed in here when you move in."
"I'll have to decorate, that'll be fun."
"I'm sure you'll rise to the challenge." They sat in silence for a while enjoying the calm sounds of summer.
"What's the time?" Mimi asked. Matt looked over to his stereo, the cyan numerals gleamed back at him.
"It's nine thirty."
"Maybe we should get up."
"Yeah, I'll go get a start on breakfast," Matt said. They got out of the bed, Mimi went to the bathroom for a shower while Matt went to the kitchen and started on breakfast. He entered the kitchen and looked around, the kitchen was also clean. He looked over into the lounge to see Gabumon and Palmon on the couch sleeping. He got out a pan and set it on the stovetop. He opened the fridge and got out two eggs, he took them to the counter and saw that Gabumon was no longer on the couch.
"Morning Matt, whatcha making?" he greeted.
"Hey. I'm making fried eggs and bacon, you want?" Matt asked.
"Yeah, that'd be great, I'm starved, you'd better make for Palmon, she'd want some too."
"So that's four eggs and eight bacon pieces. Matt got two additional eggs and placed them with the others on the counter top, then he collected the bacon from his freezer. He place some fat in the pan and turned on the plate. The fat quickly came to temperature and he cracked the eggs and placed them in the pan. While they cooked he put down some toast and defrosted the bacon. The eggs soon finished cooking and he put them in the oven to keep warm.
"That smells good," Gabumon said, who had been standing by him all this time.
"If you're hinting that you want some, you'll have to wait till I'm finished," Matt replied.
"But I'm hungry."
"You're a digimon, I think you guys are supposed to be hungry. Now why don't you wait in the lounge and watch some TV."
"Alright," Gabumon said pitifully, then walked into the lounge. Matt continued with the breakfast, he fried the bacon and cooked some toasting. Mimi walked into the kitchen, she was wearing a short denim skirt and a small top, pink of course.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Toastin'," Matt replied.
"Seriously Matt," Mimi said.
"I'm making breakfast, what's it look like?"
"But what are you making, this is not what I expected," Mimi said, a little puzzled.
"It's fried eggs and bacon," Matt replied taking the eggs from the oven. He placed the toast on the four plates that were on the table and put the eggs on them.
"That looks really good," Mimi said.
"Well, if you want to help out can put the salt an cutlery on the table. It wasn't really anything flash, just a spare set that he took from his father. She took out two knives and two forks, (A\N I don't think digimon can use cutlery). Matt put the bacon on the plates and took it to the table.
"Alright, you can come and eat now guys," Matt called to the digimon. They came to the table and began eating.
After breakfast Matt took a shower and Mimi was kind enough to wash the dishes. They sat in the lounge, and were talking.
"What should we do today?" Mimi said.
"I don't know, I guess we could hang around here, or go to someone else's," Matt suggested.
"Nah, it's such a nice day, we should do something," Mimi said. "I know, let's go to the beach. We are in the middle of a heat wave you know."
"That's a great idea," Gabumon agreed entering the conversation.
"Alright, I'll call everyone and tell them to meet us there.
