Tamers: Stuck in Paradise
Part 6
by Christian "Sid" Lang
"So, what're we gonna do?" Renamon asks merrily.
The yellow Terminator Digimon seems to be enjoying this.
Veemon frowns and sighs as he is walking next to her.
"You know what I would like to do." he sighs.
"You want to ruin Gatomon's evening." Renamon observes dryly.
Veemon stops when he hears that.
"Of course I don't want to ruin her evening!" he protests loudly.
"That would be news." Renamon mocks him.
"Oh come on. I love her. But when she sees the flying pig, she doesn't even notice me."
His voice has dropped to a whisper.
"So you love her. Then tell her. You won't win her heart by disturbing her date."
"Tsk. She wants me out of her way. Force me out of her life." he tells her and laughs at her proposition.
"A-ha?" Renamon asks, cocking her head slightly.
"Stop acting. Why else would she send you to guard me?"
"Tsk. You think I'm enjoying spending my time with you?" Renamon yells.
People around them stop to witness the arguing Digimon.
"Are you hinting that I'm not your class?" Veemon shouts back.
Oh brother, this evening isn't at all going as planned.
"Just look at you! I'm almost three times your size!"
"I didn't know that you were so fixed on a man's size..." Veemon teases her.
Renamon actually blushes when several men around them start to snicker.
"I was merely saying that I'm better at nearly anything you can name!" Renamon defends herself.
"Oh really? Anything?" Veemon asks with a grin.
"You name it, I prove it." Renamon sneers and assumes a fighting stance.
I'm dead. Geez, how did I get into this mess? Veemon asks himself.
OK, Veemon! Think! Think! There has to be something she isn't good at.
Veemon then realizes that he doesn't know much about Renamon.
Except that she's good at beating Digimon up.
He stares into her eyes, trying to look confident.
Hm. Digimon are often just like their human partners. he thinks.
Finally he sees the perfect escape path.
"I bet you're a bad kisser." he shouts.
The men around him start to cheer while the women just giggle.
Renamon stares at Veemon and blinks in disbelief.
WHAT? Renamon simply thinks.
Th-Th-That's unfair! He can't just- Oh, wait. I said I'm batter at ANYthing.
She makes a mental note to toss Gatomon out of the window for this one.
Still, this doesn't help here right now.
Renamon briefly considers simply disappearing or walking away.
But that would make her look like a loser.
Great. Everybody is waiting for me to make my move.
Renamon quickly considers her remaining options.
So either I chicken out or I do it.
Renamon gulps as she makes her decision.
A brave Digimon never chickens out. Never.
She's gonna run. I know it. Veemon thinks and smiles.
Yeah. And when the humans are gone she'll kill me. Slow and painful. he adds after a while.
Maybe she'll make it look like an accident. Boy, me and my big mouth.
Veemon gulps. He considers praying, but he knows that he somehow deserves this.
Just for the record: I regret having tried to mess up Gatomon's date.
He notices that Renamon has started to move.
Finally she is standing in front of him and stares down.
She wouldn't kill me in front of those people, would she?
She slowly bows down and grabs him.
Maybe they encourage public murder in her world. Veemon considers.
He is lifted up until their eyes are at the same level.
Wait. She wouldn't actually-
Just then, their lips touch each other.
Veemon's eyes widen as he realizes that Renamon is actually kissing him!
After some seconds he notices how good it feels.
She holds him gently as she continues her kiss.
In the distance, Veemon can hear people cheer wildly.
After he got used to the feeling, he starts to embrace Renamon's large but slender body.
The kiss seems to last forever.
Finally, Renamon finishes her long kiss and smiles at him.
"Let's call it a draw." she whispers into his ear as she gently places him on the ground.
The world is spinning inside Veemon's head, but the blue lizard still hears the people applauding them.
As he recovers from his first real kiss, the people start to move on again.
Finally they are alone on the sidewalk.
"You're aware that this doesn't mean that we're... you know..." Renamon states hesitantly.
"Uh. Yeah. Sure. I... love Gatomon... and just Gatomon..." Veemon stammers.
"Uh... Good. And let's just not talk about it, right? In front of the others, I mean."
"Right. They wouldn't understand that it meant... nothing. Right?"
"Right." Renamon answers.
Both of them are trying not to blush too much. But it's no use.
Renamon knows that Ruki would go berserk if she knew of this.
And Veemon knows that Gatomon would most likely kill him.
If she even cares about it. Veemon adds bitterly.
"Well, we still don't know what to do tonigh- Errr... this evening." Renamon says, blushing even more.
"Let's just walk for a while." Veemon proposes, unable to think clearly at the moment.
"And that's how Gatomon became my Digimon partner." Kari finishes her story.
Ruki stares at her from the couch and just nods.
She is obviously impressed by Kari's experience, but would never admit it.
"And after that?" she asks when she notices that Kari isn't continuing the story.
"Why don't we take a little break here? I'm starving."
Ruki checks her watch and gasps. Two hours have passed since Renamon's departure.
"Uh, sure. Why not?" Ruki answers, noticing her own hunger.
Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya have been invited to a party.
Well, being the parents of two international heroes should give your reputation a boost. Ruki admits.
Tai, Kari's older brother is hanging out with Matt.
That leaves just Ruki and Kari.
While Kari prepares them a quick meal, the doorbell rings.
"I'll get it." Ruki says and walks towards the door.
She knows that her Mom would freak out right now.
Two little girls, alone at night. And I open the door, not knowing who is there.
There might be a burglar. A robber. A murderer. Oh, I am so afraid.
Ruki snickers at the thought as she apporaches the door.
Well, I'd like to see the bad guys face when Renamon beats him silly.
She opens the door and blinks when she doesn't see anybody.
Just as she wants to close the door again, somebody calls her name.
Ruki makes a step backwards and now realizes why she hasn't seen anybody.
Standing outside is Yolei's little featherball, Hawkmon.
"Oops. Sorry, Hawkmon." she says, trying to be nice.
"Oh, I don't mind. I... errr... just wanted to know if Renamon might be here?"
Ruki blinks in confusion.
"No, she's... out. do you want to leave her a message?" she finally answers.
The little bird sighs when he hears that.
"No... no... it's not that urgent... Just tell her that I've been here."
When Ruki nods, the hawk Digimon walks away, sighing.
What was that all about? she asks herself as she closes the door.
She's out. Out. Out where? And did she go alone?
Hawkmon sails over the houses, trying to clear his mind.
Life is unfair. It had taken him all his courage to do this. To go there.
And then she's not even at home!
Hawkmon sighs again. The image of Renamon wouldn't leave him.
He had seen her skill and grace when they had played catch in the park.
"Got you!" she told me. Hawkmon remembers and sighs.
Oh yeah. She's got me all right. My foxy lady.
"Hm, you're quite a cook, Kari." Ruki praises her host.
Kari blushes and smiles in her usual happy way.
Mom would have liked her. And surprisingly, I start to like her, too. Ruki wonders.
She normally despises people who are nice, happy and lovely all the time.
But Kari seems to be an exception. And her ramen are the best Ruki has eaten so far.
The doorbell makes both girls sigh.
Kari starts to stand up, but Ruki gestures her to sit down.
She wanders to the door, hoping that she'd see somebody she could bicker with.
Being nice and friendly may be fine, but it isn't really my way.
She opens the door and instantly smiles.
"Hi Davis!" she greets to gogglehead.
"Oh, hello Ruki. Is Kari there, too?" the boy asks.
Oh, this is perfect. I simply can't resist.
"No. Sorry. I killed her, chopped her into tiny bits and flushed her down the toilet."
Davis blanches visibly and gulps.
Before Ruki can say anything to calm him down, gogglehead charges past her to the bathroom.
Ruki tries not to laugh to loudly while she closes the door.
She is soon joined by a very confused looking Kari. Together the two girls slowly follow Davis' lead.
Ruki sees Kari frown when she sees what Davis is doing in the bathroom.
"KARI! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?" he frantically shouts at the toilet.
"What is he doing there?" Kari whispers, leaning towards Ruki.
"I think he looking for you." Ruki answers, trying to sound serious.
"In there?" Kari asks, pointing at the toilet.
Ruki simply shrugs and grins.
"KARI! IT'S ME, DAVIS! CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Davis continues his shouting.
"I can hear you Davis." Kari answers from behind him.
"OH YESSS! DON'T WORRY, I'LL GET YOU OUT IN NO-TIME!"
"Davis."
"DO YOU NEED ANYTHING, KARI?"
"Oh well, I've been looking for your sanity. Have you seen it anywhere?" Kari asks.
Gogglehead seems to think about that one.
Kari just sighs and tips his shoulder.
Davis whirls around and his eyes widen when he sees Kari.
The eigth DigiDestined gasps when he hugs her tightly, muttering various phrases of joy.
"This must be love..." Ruki sighs with an evil grin while she leans against the bathroom door.
"Ruki, we have to talk." Kari mutters, trying to ignore Davis' bonecrushing hug-o-death.
"Geez, you really got me with that one." Davis admits, eating some leftover ramen.
"You really thought that I murdered Kari?" Ruki asks with a frown.
"I don't know, maybe it's some freakish ritual in your world." Davis replies.
"Oh, I'll show you a freakish cult soon enough!" Ruki mutters, clenching her fist.
But something's wrong. Davis isn't weeping in fear or trying to 'tame' her.
He seems pretty oblivious to the danger Ruki tries to present to him.
She gives Kari a look for help. Kari just shrugs and rolls her eyes.
"Well, actually I think you couldn't have done something like that."
"And why not?" Ruki snaps.
If he says I'm incapable of doing it, I'll show him otherwise. she tells herself.
"Simple. You're too cute." Davis mutters while finishing his bowl of ramen.
He's dead. Typical Davis-mistake: 'Ohhh... does it really hurt if I set my clothes on fire?'
Kari bites her lower lip as she waits for the inevitable to happen.
It doesn't happen. A quick glance at Ruki makes Kari gasp.
The girl in the broken-heart-shirt stares at Davis openmouthed.
Looks like Davis has extinguished the fire by ignoring its danger. Kari thinks.
Then she realizes that the comparison stinks.
But Kari can't think of a proper comparison. Davis has done the impossible.
And he isn't even aware of it. Is he?
He innocently checks his watch and smacks his forehead.
"Oh, I gotta be going! If you just excuse me, see you later!"
Kari blinks as Davis quickly leaves the room, grinning.
"Cute?" Ruki finally manages to ask, frowning.
The next morning is looking quite interesting in some households:
"Renamon is as good as dead." Ruki mutters when she sees the front page of the newspaper.
"Veemon is as good as dead." Gatomon whispers.
"Actually they're looking quite cute." Kari adds, receiving two stares of death.
"Oh... Renamon in love?" Guilmon asks innocently.
Takato just shrugs.
"Rena and Veemon are sitting in a tree... K-I-S-S-urks"
Terriermon is quickly silenced by a frowning Lee.
"Veemon is as good as dead." Hawkmon mutters, making Yolei cough.
"Hey, that means I've got no rival anymore!" Patamon cheers.
T.K. just snickers.
"OK, I'm dead." Veemon mutters.
In a last effort of damage-control, he removes the front page and destroys it before Davis wakes up.
Notes:
Don't say it, I know what you're thinking:
Weird aliens must have twisted the minds of the Digimon and the DigiDestined.
But I really wanted to set a solid basis for chaos and character interaction.
Maybe I'll find the way to sanity again. *shrug*
Or I'll just finish this scenario (which would make a great soap opera... ^_^).
I guess I'll change the category to romance/humor or something like this.
This has gotten way too weird for a normal romance... *EG*
