A/N: It was bugging me so much that I hadn't written anything in this story. I got a mild writer's block for it, but I've decided to do this scene, and see what comes out. This scene appears in The Breakfast Club, and I rather like it. It's the dancing scene. Anyways, I hope you all like it.

Dancing, A Serious Talk, And Why Everyone's There (a.k.a. Davis's Secret Revealed)

Izzy messed with the radio they had found in the library office a bit more, and then smiled when it began to play a song. He slid along in his chair, flying across the room since the chair had wheels. Joe took hold of the back of it and raced it along through the library, Izzy dancing like a maniac.

Tai danced along the top of the bookcase, doing the Egyptian dance, with Sora, Davis, and TK directly behind him, doing it also.

"Groove is in the heart," Tai sang, and each of them behind him sang it also, one by one.

Matt was on top of the stairs, dancing around crazily in circles and shaking his head around. Mimi was on the next level of stairs, dancing with herself with her arms straight down at her sides and only her feet moving. Ken and Cody were dancing in front of each other, and Yolei and Kari were dancing together, doing the Tango in their own, strange way.

Joe shoved Izzy's moving chair along in a circle around Kari and Yolei and then shot off down to the other side of the library. Tai, Sora, Davis, and TK began doing a conga line, which Kari and Yolei joined immediately. Ken and Cody scrambled over and Ken took hold of Yolei's waist, and then Matt and Mimi raced down the stairs to join. Joe and Izzy abandoned their chair and brought up the rear, and they all began doing the Bunny Hop.

"Hop, hop, hop," they all sang together, to the beat of the song.

The song then finished, and they all collapsed on the floor, laughing and breathing hard. Tai, Sora, Davis, and TK all high-fived.

"We have to do that again sometime," Davis said, grinning.

The other three all grinned back at him and nodded, but a few that weren't a part of their dancing foursome all looked away.

Izzy got up and walked back towards the library office to turn the radio off.

~ ~ ~ ~

Davis fell asleep soon after their dancing, and he dreamt of the day of the argument. He saw it clearly in his dream. He was walking down the sidewalk to Tai's house along with the rest of them besides Tai and Kari. Matt was talking about how great it was that they were doing something for their one-year anniversary.

They got to the house and rang the doorbell. Tai answered and let them into the house. He asked them to quiet down because Kari was feeling sick and she was resting.

"That's horrible, Tai. She won't be able to come with us to the movies."

Tai slapped his forehead. "Oh, I forgot about that. I'm so sorry, Matt. I know you organized the whole thing..."

"Think nothing of it. We can always go another day."

Then, the comment that changed everything. Matt looked towards Kari, as they were now standing in her bedroom, and he said under his breath, "We wouldn't want you almost-killing Kari again."

Tai stared at him for a while and everyone held their breath. They all knew better than to mention the incident from years and years ago, when Tai thought he had killed his sister by making her play soccer with him outside while she was sick and then her collapsing.

"What do you mean, Matt?" Tai had asked in a calm voice.

Matt shrugged and said, "Oh well, you know, the thing from years ago..."

"Yeah, uh, can you do me a favor and never mention 'the thing' again?"

"Calm down, man. I didn't mean anything by it. It's no big deal, all I said was..."

"Well it is a big deal to me, Matt. It really is."

Matt stared at his best friend for a while, not believing he would get so worked up about such a small thing. He knew that he shouldn't have mentioned the incident because of how much of an impact it had had on Tai's life, but he thought Tai should have known that he hadn't meant anything by mentioning it.

"Well it's true, you know," Matt burst out a little angrily, "it was your fault back then, and I'm just saying we shouldn't go to the movies without Kari and she obviously isn't fit for going out."

"Why did you have to bring that up, though?"

They went on like that for a while, and then Tai made the mistake of pushing the argument even further when he made a comment along the lines of, "you weren't such a great brother, either, you know."

"Oh, what's that supposed to mean?"

"You left TK behind with all of us when you wanted to go away 'to find yourself'..."

"He'd be safer with all of you than with only me."

"That's a lame excuse, and you know it Matt...besides, why was it you left? Because a tree told you we were bad? A tree, Matt?"

"Why are you bringing that up?! That was a long time ago..."

"Well so was the thing with Kari being sick!"

After that Matt had only shaken his head, said "Forget this" or something like that, and left. Tai stared at the door for a while, fuming, then punched the wall and stormed out of the room. The ten that were left in the room all stared at each other in shock.

It had all just gone downhill from there. If one person made a comment, another would snap at them. They didn't know what to do with both of their leaders gone. It was as if as long as Tai and Matt were fighting, then the rest of them weren't allowed to speak to each other, either. They really didn't know whether Tai and Matt were going to get over this or not. It had just gotten too personal. Soon, it came down to all of them insulting each other when they should have just gone to comfort Tai or Matt, and soon the only ones left in the room were Davis and Kari. Davis stared at his feet uncomfortably. He hadn't insulted any of them, and had mainly just listened, and people had insulted him even though he wasn't putting up a fight. When Kari realized Davis was still there, she asked him to leave because she was feeling upset, and he did. He never talked to any of them again, or at least if he did, they wouldn't say anything back.

Davis woke up with a start and rubbed his eyes. He glanced around the room and noticed that all of the others had gathered in the back of the room in a circle and were talking.

He rose to his feet and walked towards the back of the room, sitting in between TK and Kari. He pulled his legs up and hugged them, listening to the conversation.

"So she stole your spot as head cheerleader by framing you?" Sora was asking Kari.

Kari nodded. Sora and Mimi both looked angry over this and Davis decided he wouldn't ask. Apparently, they were all talking about why they were all there. Davis figured this was both good and bad. It was good because he wanted to know what they were all doing there, but it was also very bad because it meant that he was going to have to tell them what he had done. What he had been caught for. If he didn't tell them, they would force it out of him, he knew it. He debated getting up and leaving to avoid having to tell them, but knew they would ask him anyways if TK said something about him dodging the subject before.

"Okay, so Izzy blew up the science lab with his volcano project overflowing, Matt got caught spraypainting the bathroom wall and sniffing it-"

"Sniffing it?"

"Yeah, I forgot to tell you that part," Tai answered Davis.

Davis glanced at Matt but Matt was staring at the floor. He kept himself from asking which other drugs Matt had done, because he had heard plenty of rumors.

"Anyways, Kari was framed, TK was mistaken for a pervert, Mimi skipped school to go to the mall, Yolei got in a fight-a one-sided fight, mind you, it was more like Yolei kicking a guy's ass, congratulations on that, Yolei-"

"Thank you very much, Tai."

"You're welcome. Joe, it's your turn."

"Why don't you go, Tai?"

"We're working our way around the circle."

"But we skipped Davis..."

"He'll go last."

Davis breathed a sigh of relief and pressed back against the wall, eyes shut hard.

Joe shook his head slightly and then looked up at them. "You guys aren't going to believe this, but I got detention because I got caught cheating on a test. I got a hold of the test before we took it."

"What?" they all asked incredulously.

"But Joe, you're a genius! Why would you need to cheat?"

"You don't know what's been going on for the past two years, Sora. After the fight, my grades dropped. I was depressed, and I guess I just stopped caring. It's my fault, though, I know that."

He looked embarrassed and hung his head in shame. Tai turned to Sora, who was next to talk, and she shifted uncomfortably."

"First of all I just want to say that I've been with a very bad crowd. After we all broke up, I started hanging out with trash, and I guess that mistake finally caught up to me." She looked at them all and took a deep breath. "Please don't be mad with me after this. I don't want any of you to think any differently of me."

"We wouldn't," Kari assured her.

Sora nodded and looked down, continuing. "I was holding drugs in my purse for one of my friends and I got caught with them."

Matt stared at her. "You mean you had drugs? And I never found out? You should have asked me to hold them, I wouldn't have gotten caught!"

A few of the others glared at him and he backed down. "Um, sorry. Yeah, I'll shut up now."

Cody shifted where he sat and cleared his throat. "Well, I pulled the fire alarm."

"That was you?"


"Why did you do that?"

"I was late for a very important test. I had to take a test after my first week of high school making sure that I was keeping up with the work and everything."

"How'd you get caught?"

"A teacher rounded the corner a few seconds after I pulled it and he saw me walking away. I was the only one in the hall so he knew it had to have been me."

Taichi leaned back against the bookcase behind him. "That sucks. So what did you do, Ken?"

Ken grinned. "Nothing. I just didn't have anything better to do."

They all stared at him oddly for awhile. "So you just came to Odaiba to the high school on a Saturday, wandered in, and found out there was detention here?"

"I go to this high school. I haven't seen any of you and you all probably haven't seen me because I entered school in the middle of the week then spent a lot of time staying after classes to finish up work that I'd missed."

"Why don't you go to your town's high school?"

Ken shrugged. "My mom says Odaiba has better education or something."

"Your turn, Tai," Matt said.

Tai took a deep breath and stared down at the floor. "I was in Gym class and we were in the locker room. Class had finished already and people were showering...there was this guy, this geek, that a lot of the other guys liked to make fun of. One of the guys dared me to take the geek's underwear while he was in the shower and staple them to the bulletin board outside the gym office. Two of the geek's friends saw me do it, but they didn't go tell the guy until it was too late.

Everyone had seen the underwear up on the bulletin board, and the guy had to go to the office with nothing but a towel around his waist to take the staples out of his underwear. He couldn't do it and he kept struggling, and he looked like he wanted to cry. One of the guys pulled his towel off and he scrambled to get it but he couldn't. The coach came out and told him to give the towel back, then demanded to know who had put the underwear up. The geek's friends pointed me out and I got held after class while the teacher wrote up a detention slip.

While I was waiting, the geek was changing into his clothes, and since the door wasn't closed I could hear him crying in the locker room. I just suddenly felt bad...so bad..."

Taichi clenched his fists where they rested on his lap.

"How could I have humiliated someone like that? No one deserves that humiliation. Afterwards I couldn't stop thinking of how that kid must have felt. He must hate me. Hell, I hate me for doing that. I shouldn't have. I was pressured to do it by the other guys, but look what I did to the poor kid. He never did anything to me..."

They all looked surprised when a tear slid down Taichi's cheek and Kari put an arm around his shoulder to comfort her brother.

"I promise to myself to never make fun of anyone else ever again. You all shouldn't either. I want you all to remember this: No one deserves to be made fun of, no matter what. Oh, unless it's revenge and you don't take it too far."

Taichi smiled a little at this and wiped his face. Kari hugged him. "I'm glad you learned your lesson," she said in a comforting voice. He smiled gratefully and she smiled back, and then she looked at Davis.

Davis felt himself leaning back, away from them, as if trying to get out of what he knew was to come.

"Davis, you're the only one who hasn't said what they're here for. What did you do?"

TK turned and stared hard at Davis, as if challenging him to back out of it this time.

"I can't tell you," Davis said weakly, looking at the floor.

Their expressions turned into curious concern.

"Why can't you tell us, Davis?" Sora asked gently, sensing this was something big.

"This is worse that anything you guys have done," Davis said, looking around the room as if searching for a way to escape.

"Even worse than mine?" Sora asked, gently again. She held back a small gasp when Davis nodded.

"If I tell you, you might look at me differently. I don't want to lose any of you as friends ever again, especially now that we've only just reconciled."

"You won't lose any of us as friends," TK assured him.

Davis glanced at him. "How do you know that?"

TK smiled. "The Digidestined will always stick together, no matter what. We can pull through any challenge that comes our way...even if we're apart for two years," he concluded with a slight cringe.

Matt gave him a dry look. "Did you have to add that last part?"

Davis was shaking his head, and he pulled his knees up to hug them. He put his head down and his shoulders shook slightly. Kari rested a hand on his shoulder and he looked up. He had tears streaking his face.

"You can tell us anything, Davis," Kari assured him, stroking his arm. "Don't worry about it."

Davis stared into her eyes, searching for truth, and as usual when looking into Kari's eyes, he found it right away.

He looked at them all and took a deep, shuddering breath.

"I want you all to promise me you won't freak out, or treat me differently, or stop being my friends, or..."

They all promised before he could finish.

He shook his head, as if wondering why he was doing this, but glanced up at them all. There were shadows under his eyes and TK got the sinking feeling that he hadn't really been all that perky after the break-up. Maybe he really wasn't the one that was least affected by the separation...maybe he was the most affected.

"Okay, I'll tell you all," Davis said, his voice squeaking slightly. They all leant in towards him to make sure they caught every word.

Davis looked up at the ceiling so he wouldn't have to see their expressions once they knew.

"I got caught with a loaded gun in my locker."
