Disclaimer - I don't own digimon

babydragon - I am so sorry for not getting the next chapter out quick, but I was away from the computer for a while

zara - there will be no hurting of the frog at all, so don't worry =)

Crystal Desires - I am sorry for dissing Nsync. I also fixed the last chapter up so it's correct (I think). I don't completely hate them though... their songs Gone' and Girlfriend' are awesome!!

Oh and thanks to the author that pointed out that Tai already has a pet in his apartment even though I said in this fic he can't have pets. Let's just say he moved, okay? And in the apartment he lives in he can't have pets, oh and like his old cat died or something


Say Bye to the Frog
Complicated

Day one. Observation one, Matt mumbled to himself as he made up a table in a notebook.

You do the writing and I'll do the observing.

Matt looked up. I don't think so! Why should I do all of the work?

Who said you are? I'll be observing.

Matt shook his head and went back to drawing up a table. After much arguing, pillow fights, and more arguing, they decided on the perfect experiment to do on the frog. It wouldn't hurt it in any way and they were sure it would get the top marks.

The best thing was, no accidents could occur with this whatsoever. None.

Matt was convinced nothing could go wrong. His hair wouldn't turn pink and no bananas would spray onto pupils faces. Everything would be great.

As he stole a glance at Tai, he couldn't help but smile. Tai looked so cute when he was concentrating. At the moment he was tapping the glass cage of the frog, trying to get it to move. His tongue tip was on the side of his mouth and he seemed so determined to get the frog to move. He looked up when he felt Matt staring at him and smiled.

You finished drawing up that table yet?

Huh? Oh yeah. I'm finished.

Good. Then let's do our first experiment, said Tai, opening the cage and taking out the frog. He set it on the desk table and stared at it. Do you think it will respond? It wasn't when I was tapping the glass.

Well that's what we're testing for. On how it responds to stimuli. If it doesn't, it doesn't. If it does, it does.

Tai nodded and looked back at the frog. It was just sitting on the desk, not moving or croaking or doing anything.

I don't think it is going to do anything, he said.

Matt shrugged. We'll see. Here's the pin. Now poke it gently - we just want to see if it reacts, not hurt it.

Tai took the pin from Matt and slowly leaned forward to poke the nameless frog. They both expected the frog to do something when Tai poked it, but it didn't. It remained still.

Is it dead? It's not moving - not even blinking!

Matt was about to respond when the frog croaked loudly and sprang into the air. For a moment neither did anything as the frog bounced crazily around the room. But then both came out of the shock and began shouting orders to get it.

Shut the door! Matt yelled.

I've almost got it! You get the cage open!

Matt screeched as his hand smacked against his dresser when he jumped up to try grabbing the frog. Just grab it!

All three were bouncing across the room, knocking various things over. Matt turned to find Tai jumping straight into him! He tried ducking out of the way, but it was too late. Matt toppled to the floor with Tai on top of him.

Silence took place as Matt found himself with an arm around Tai's neck and his leg wound around his waist. The gap between their faces slowly closed until Matt could feel Tai's breath on his lips. Leaning in to close that gap, a croak made them both jump and the frog landed on Matt's lap.

Tai cried out, triumphantly grabbing the frog and standing up. He put it into the cage and shut the door.

Matt was still on the floor breathing heavily, trying to get his thoughts in order. When he looked at Tai, he found him staring back and a faint blush grew on both of their cheeks.

I guess the frog does respond to stimuli, huh?

All Matt could do was nod.

**~**

So you do the research and I'll do the poster board full of pictures?

Matt nodded. Yes. I've already said that three times.

Tai shrugged. Just making it clear so that you don't mess up.

I mess up? Excuse me-

Hey you know what?

Matt asked, sighing heavily.

We still have NOT named our frog!

I know, but after that whole thing with the name Nsync it just seems hard!

Yeah I know what you mean. Well let's think of a name anyway. I still say it's a boy, Tai said.

You really have issues with things being the male gender, don't you?

Tai shrugged. I guess. He looked away from Matt and back to the frog. Before Matt could say anything, he said, What about the name Kermit?

What? Tai, where are you getting these names from?



You keep in touch with Mimi? Matt asked.

Tai nodded slowly and looked away, leaving Matt's heart to sink a little. The first thought he had was that they might be dating long distance...

When I asked her for a frog's name the other day, she suggested that one. You know that muppet thing they show on tv for kids? Well supposedly the American name for it is Kermit the Frog, so I thought maybe we could name it that.

Yeah, sure. It sounds good, Matt said, forcing a smile. He thought the name was fine - could care less about it - but what bothered him was the contact Mimi and Tai had.

Are you okay?

Matt looked up and smiled again. Yeah. Everything's great. You should probably go so that I can get the research done.

Okay. Call me later, okay?

Yeah. Sure, Matt said, sighing as he opened the door. He smiled at Tai as he walked out and quickly shut the door, leaning against it.

Why was life so complicated sometimes?

END OF CHAPTER

Okay so that wasn't as fluffy as the previous two chapters, BUT it won't stay like that for long! I promise!!
