Tamers: Stuck in Paradise - Season 2
Part 13
by Christian "Sid" Lang
The two couples are standing in the elevator, trying to get the most out of these last minutes.
Kari enjoys being held by T.K., who kisses her neck gently.
Much too soon for Kari, the elevator stops again.
Giggling and kissing, the four teens walk through the corridor.
The Kamiya apartment is only meters away now.
"That has been a wonderful evening." Kari whispers and kisses T.K.
Then she notices his stare. He seems to be staring at something behind her.
Finally she turns around and sees the apartment door.
Or rather: The doorframe. The door itself is... gone.
"What the-" Ruki mutters.
Finally they can see Tai.
"Oh, hey sis! Hi Ruki! Had a nice evening?" he greets them.
"Where is the door, Tai?" Kari asks flatly.
"Ummm... Long story?" Tai says and snickers nervously.
"Is Renamon part of this story?" Ruki sighs.
"How'd you know?" Tai asks.
"We've witnessed the chase." Davis explains.
"Oh. How are Hawkmon, Veemon and Patamon doing?" Agumon asks as he joins them.
"Patamon has been part of this?" T.K. hisses.
"Yeah. Sure. Didn't you see him?"
"Your Digimon saw my Digimon having fun in MY BED?" Kari snaps at T.K.
"Here we go again." Ruki and Davis mutter in unison.
It feels good doing nothing.
Renamon yawns softly and... sneezes.
"Hm?" she asks herself when the tickling at her nose continues.
Lazily she opens her eyes and sees something golden just in front of her.
She snarls at the object that seems to mock her.
The tickling continues, causing the fox to sneeze again.
Renamon snaps at the object, but its too fast.
"Having fun?" somebody whispers into her ear.
By now Renamon wakes up completely. She smiles as she finally recognizes the object.
Gatomon's tail keeps tickling her, causing the Holy Ring on it to dance.
Renamon yawns again and stretches her limbs.
The cat she has been curled up around does the same.
"So, what's my little revenge angel up to today?" Renamon asks playfully.
"I don't know. Let's just go home." Gatomon suggests.
Renamon shrugs and vanishes.
After some seconds, she appears again, smiling sheepishly.
"Funny. Really funny." Gatomon mutters.
"It's a reflex, really!" Renamon defends herself.
"Show-off." the cat mocks the fox.
"Hey, I could teach you that trick!"
Gatomon's eyes widen.
"Really?"
"Uhhhh... No."
Gatomon's eyes become narrow slits as the fox continues her sheepish smile.
"Really?" Renamon asks and frowns.
"Yeah." Gatomon replies.
The two Digimon walk down the street, talking about last night's events.
"You're just going to forgive them?"
Gatomon shrugs.
"They tried to help me. And we really scared them."
Renamon keeps frowning.
"Admit it, we acted like insane psycho murderers." Gatomon tells her.
"You say that as if it's something bad." Renamon responds and smiles.
"No really. I think I should apologize."
Renamon cocks her head.
"Didn't you mean 'We should apologize'?" she asks.
Gatomon thinks about that one.
"Nah. They wanted to cheer me up. You've just happened to be there, too."
The fox shrugs lazily.
"Aha. And then the door exploded?" Kari asks Agumon.
She is following the dino's recapitulation of yesterday's fight.
Agumon had just explained how Gatomon had slammed him against the wall.
"Well, I guess Renamon has been waiting on the other side." he replies.
"And the window?" Ruki asks, pointing at the broken window.
"Well, Hawkmon broke it so there would be another exit."
Both girls shake their heads.
"Ummm... Hello?" Gatomon asks, looking through the front door-way.
"Eep!" Agumon yelps and tries to hide behind Ruki.
"Don't worry. It's all right." Renamon whispers, appearing behind the dino Digimon.
"ARRR! Don't do that!" Agumon shouts, running into Tai's room.
"Geez. He's quite jumpy." Renamon observes innocently.
"Tsk. Come on, Renamon." Gatomon says and walks into Kari's room.
"Not again in my room!" Kari instantly wails, making Ruki snicker.
"Don't worry. We won't do anything you wouldn't do." Renamon tells her, following Gatomon.
"I don't think that you comforted her, Renamon." Ruki snickers.
"RUKI!" Kari wails loudly.
"So here we are, Hawkmon." Yolei sighs and sits down on the lawn.
She looks at the other people in the park.
Then she notices that Hawkmon still seems to be nervous.
"Hawkmon?" she asks.
"Yeah?" the bird Digimon answers, looking over his shoulder as if looking for somebody.
"Why did we come here?"
"I... I somehow like crowded places. Many people. Potential witnesses."
Yolei frowns. Hawkmon had been acting this weird since he returned yesterday.
"What happened last night, Hawkmon?" she finally asks.
"Nothing! Nothing!" Hawkmon almost screeches.
Yolei gives Hawkmon a look.
Finally the Digimon sighs and begins to tell her what has happened.
"Geez, you already miss me?" Ruki asks and giggles.
Kari can't help but smile.
It's just early afternoon and Davis is already craving for his beloved.
"The movies? Hm. I don't know..." Ruki mutters.
The young Tamer is toying with the phone cord like a little girl.
She has really changed during her stay here. Kari thinks.
The DigiDestined is happy. For Ruki. For Davis. And of course for Renamon.
She has been really heartless when we first met her. she remembers.
Poor Renamon. She must have had a hrad time with Ruki.
"How about the park? It's much more... romantic." Ruki sighs into the receiver.
Geez. She could ask him to commit ritual suicide and he'd do it without thinking about it.
Kari admits that she is jealous somehow. Ruki behaves like a cat toying with her prey.
I wish I could do that with T.K. she thinks and sighs.
Then she asks herself what keeps her from doing it.
"You did WHAT?" Yolei yells.
"Hey, it has been an accident!"
"And this has been your idea?"
Hawkmon nods and smiles nervously.
"It did sound like a good idea when we planned it!" he tries to defend himself.
"Geez. No wonder you act this paranoid."
"No. This is no paranoia! This is caution!"
"I should tie you up and just drop you in front of their door." Yolei sneers.
"That would be difficult. Renamon blasted it." Hawkmon mutters.
When he sees that Yolei gasps, he laughs shortly.
"Oh yeah. I didn't finish the story yet..."
"Dumbest idea I've ever heard." Renamon comments the plan.
The vupline Digimon is lying on Kari's bed, looking at the pacing cat.
"It's not dumb!" Gatomon snaps.
"Why don't you just call him and say that everything's fine?"
Renamon's tail lazily moves through the air.
"That wouldn't be the same!" Gatomon hisses.
Her tail swishes nervously, sometimes banging against the table.
Renamon frowns when she notices the growing dents in the wood.
"You really want to do that?" the fox finally asks.
"Yes. And I'll do it alone." Gatomon states.
Renamon's tail goes limp and drops onto the bed.
"I could help!" the love-crazy Digimon begs.
"No. It'll be better this way." the cat says.
Renamon tries whining, but Gatomon doesn't change her opinion.
Kari's smile widens until it matches Ruki's.
"You really did that?" she asks her new mentor.
"Yep. And before he could react, I went into the apartment."
"No wonder he comes back begging for more."
Ruki smiles innocently.
"However, I think you have to do something more drastic with T.K." she suddenly says.
Kari gives her a questioning look.
"Remember: That had been our very first kiss." Ruki reminds her.
"Oh. Right. T.K. already kissed me, so the thrill's not that strong."
"Bingo. Now we just have to think of something neat."
Both girls sit together in silence.
Finally Ruki starts to grin again.
"Do you know the Tango?" she asks with a devilish grin.
Kari tries to giggle, cough, grin and gasp at the same time.
"Well, I've learned it once during my dance lessons." Kari admits.
"Perfect. Now we need a training partner for you."
Both girls start to grin again.
"Oh, Tai..." Kari and Ruki sing in unison, looking at Tai's room.
Gatomon sighs as she waits at Davis' door.
She hasn't rung the doorbell. It would ruin everything.
Veemon must be really depressed. I scared him too much.
The door opens slowly. Gatomon is impressed since she can barely hear it.
She hushes into the dark apartment, where Renamon is waiting for her.
The fox carefully closes the door and kneels next to Gatomon.
"OK. Davis is out with Ruki. Parents and sister are out, too." she briefs the cat.
"Where is Veemon?" Gatomon whispers.
"Let me put it this way: I haven't seen him in the bathroom or the livingroom."
"Davis' room then." Gatomon sighs and nods.
She closes her eyes briefly, trying to find her calm center.
When she opens her eyes, Renamon is already gone.
Veemon sighs. Nothing has happened the whole day.
Still, his mind keeps wandering back to the scene he had witnessed.
They will try to kill me. I know it. I saw them... an ocean of fur...
He shakes his head, but the image won't leave him.
...kissing each other passionately...
Veemon blushes as he relives his memories in slow-motion.
...their paws doing God-only-knows-what...
His breathing becomes faster now.
...the feeling of being loved...
The Digimon closes his eyes as his paw works its way to his crotch.
Gatomon sighs as her tail carefully wraps itself around the door handle.
She looks up and prepares her happy-kitty smile.
Nodding, she yanks open the door and jumps into Davis' room.
"HEY VEEMON! SURPRI-I-I-i-i---" she shouts, then stammers.
She stares at the blue Digimon who is busily working his... little 'mon.
And Veemon stares back at her.
Gatomon gulps when she notices the mix of humiliation and rage in Veemon's eyes.
She realizes that this must have been what Veemon has seen in her eyes last night.
Without further thinking, she charges out of the room.
Out of the apartment.
Out of the building.
Just out.
