Firethroat: I can't believe you're continuing this fic.
Vurso: We promised.
Me: Anyways, here's chapter 2! And sorry that it took so long, but my muses were out of inspiration for a while.
Firethroat: Sorry…
Vurso: We don't own digimon.
Me: Okay, now on with the fic!

"Hey, you two. Listen up." Davis and Flame both looked up, to see an annoyed looking Impmon perched in a tree above their heads.
"What is it? Whatever it is, say it and get out of our territory." Flame growled.
"Chill sugar. Don't shoot the messenger. I just have to tell all the Digimon I see to get to Infinity Mountain, and quick." With that, the Impmon bounded off through the trees.
Davis and Flame exchanged a puzzled look.
"What was that all about?"
Flame shrugged. "I dunno. Must be important, though."
"Yeah. We better get going." Davis replied.
Flame nodded and ducked her shoulder, a habit she had picked up. Davis made a practiced leap, and landed on her back. He quickly wrapped his legs around her waist, and his arms loosely around her neck. Flame's tail provided the rest of the support he needed.
"Let's go, then."
Flame nodded and took to the trees. Their territory was on the edge of File Island, but they didn't have too far to go. They were near the border of their territory closest to Infinity Mountain.
As Flame leapt from tree to tree, they saw other Digimon making their way to the mountain, as well. Davis pressed closer to Flame's back when they spotted any other Digimon. He was still wary of any other Digimon, besides Flame. The Impmon hadn't been a threat, and he had quickly left. Davis hadn't had time to be afraid.
Even though they were relatively close to the mountain, and Flame was a fairly fast traveler, it still would take them a while to reach the mountain. In that time, Davis dozed off.
Flame knew when Davis was asleep, and immediately changed her pace to a smoother one, so that there would be no chance of him falling off.
While she traveled, Flame thought about the past couple of months. Before she had found Davis, her life had been nothing but, find food, and defend her territory.
But, ever since that fateful day, her life suddenly felt as if it had meaning. Davis filled the void in her that she never knew she had. For the first time in her life, she had a friend.
But, there was something wrong. She reflected on something that puzzled her. About how she felt in the quiet moments with her friend, when there was no action, and nothing to keep her mind occupied, so that it was free to wander. To think about how life would be if she and Davis were more than just friends. She always forced the thoughts out of her mind. He was a human, and she was a Digimon. Completely different species. It was ludicrous to even think about it. She forcefully put the thought out of her mind once more, and concentrated on traveling.
Even with the common goal, Flame sometimes had to growl off another Digimon that decided to throw their weight around. Fortunately for both Flame and Davis, it was all bluff. They had learned the hard way that it was difficult for Flame to battle while carrying Davis. It had nearly cost both of them their lives, and Flame had been laid up with injuries for a week. But she had won, thankfully. Otherwise they would both be dead, and that was not something that appealed to either of them.
By the time they reached Infinity Mountain, Flame, who was in excellent shape, needed a break. Davis used her back as a springboard, and, with the ease of practice, landed without stumbling. It had taken them over a month to get that right, and, in the mean time, Davis had a lot of bruises.
Flame flopped down on the grass, tired. Davis sat down next to the Flamedramon's head, and gently placed her head in his lap. Flame sighed happily as he gently stroked her ears.
They stayed that way for over an hour, while Flame regained her strength for the long climb ahead. And, although neither would ever admit, they both truly enjoyed the time they spent together…
For they had fallen in love…

Me: We're so sorry this took so long…
Firethroat: We'll make it up by getting the next chapter out soon.
Vurso: With no review limit, so it will come out regardless.
Me: Please don't kill us for taking so long.
