Tamers: Stuck in Paradise - Season 3
Part 8
by Christian "Sid" Lang
Worst plan I ever had! Gatomon tells herself.
She lands inside the Kamiya living room and shakes her head.
Her head is still hurting from all the screaming she had to endure.
But the worst thing is that her plan has... failed.
I have seen the look on his face. He never looked at me this way. Never.
Gatomon sighs. Veemon has tried all kind of stuff to show her that he loves her.
This time however, he has looked at Aquaveemon and... frowned?
Doesn't he like her? Or is he not sure of his feelings?
Gatomon shakes her head and takes a look around.
Although it's almost midnight, there is still light coming from the kitchen.
Cocking her head, Gatomon walks to the lit room.
Boy. I should've known better! Kari thinks and coughs.
The DigiDestined is sitting at the kitchen table. Her upper body rests on it.
This is it. I'm dying. She finally got me.
Kari closes her eyes, waiting for her end.
"Oh, hi Kari." Gatomon mutters while she enters the kitchen.
"Go away. I'm dying." Kari whispers.
"Ah, so your Mom cooked her special surprise meal again?" Gatomon asks merrily.
"Yes. And it surprised her once again."
"Well, then I think I'll skip the late night snack."
"Yes. Do that. Oh, and Gatomon?" Kari whispers as the cat starts to walk out.
"Hm? What is it, Kari?"
"Turn off the lights please."
"Errr okay... See you tomorrow then!" Gatomon answers and hits the light switch with her tail.
"Only if I'm lucky..." Kari whispers in the darkness and closes her eyes again.
Gatomon shakes her head.
Kari somehow always eats her mother's food. And always she gets sick.
But what should I do? Lightning Paw Kari's mother?
She briefly considers this. Finally she shakes her head again.
Kari has been her only source of joy. Now Gatomon would just have to-
Wait! What am I thinking? Renamon is still here! And I bet she misses me!
Gatomon smiles as she sneaks to Ruki's room.
I guess Ruki will have to get used to sleep in a furry bed. she thinks and snickers.
She quietly opens the door to Ruki's room and quickly closes it behind her.
Gatomon blinks. The kitchen light has been quite bright so she is virtually blind in this dark room.
Oh well. I know my way. Gatomon tells herself and takes off her gloves.
Her paws make no noise as she sneaks over to the bed.
In the bed, she can hear somebody sleep and grins.
Oh Renamon... You'll wake up drooling, I promise...
She moves under the blanket and starts exploring the space in front of her.
The cat admits that she is thrilled. She has never done this blindly.
Everything feels so new... so different.
Renamon stirs slightly.
She has heard something. But what could it be?
The fox blinks and waits for her eyes to get used to the darkness.
However, before she can see something, she hears somebody whisper.
"Ohhh Rena..."
Renamon frowns. She knows this voice.
What's going on here?
"Yeah, you like this, don't you?" Gatomon whispers.
Renamon cocks her head. then she can hear another voice.
"Davis... Yeah... Go on!" Ruki whispers.
Slowly Renamon gets up from her sleeping place on the floor at the foot end of the bed.
"Oh Rena..."
"Oh Davis..."
"Oh boy..." she mutters, turning on the light.
Gatomon blinks.
Since her eyes are still used to the brightness of the kitchen, her sight returns pretty fast.
The first thing she sees is... Ruki.
Ruki is keeping her eyes closed since the sudden light has blinded her.
Gatomon looks at the Tamer. Then she realizes something.
Ruki is lying in her bed. Right in front of Gatomon.
Finally the girl opens her eyes and blinks.
"G-Gatomon?" she mutters.
Then she blinks agasin and blushes.
Gatomon, realizing where her paws have been, also blushes.
"Hey, Gatomon, what're you doing under Ruki's blanket?" Renamon asks.
Gatomon is surprised by Renamon's voice. The fox is completely calm.
Naive, innocent and curious as always.
Ruki's eyes widen now.
Oh boy. Here we go again.
Kari blinks in the darkness.
She is not dead. If she had died, the pain in her stomach would have stopped.
Since she doesn't seem to die anytime soon, she tries to drag herself to her room.
But after two meters, her body decides that she has walked enough.
Kari blinks again. The room has become larger. Higher.
Then she realizes that her head is lying on the floor.
She can hear voices somewhere in the distance.
"It has been an acci-"
*WHAM*
"Ruki! Drop that chair!"
*CRASH*
"Please! How should I-"
*RUMBLE*
*pause*
*squeek*
"Darn."
"I could have told you that the bed is too heavy to be used as a club."
"SHUT UP!"
Kari blinks again.
Nightmares... I'll never touch Mom's food again...
Gatomon hurries out of Ruki's room, trying not to get hit by the stuff being thrown after her.
My God! What have I been thinking? Have I been thinking at all?
She zips down the corridor, hearing Ruki behind her.
"Come back you furball of perversion!"
The snow-white cat knows that she only has one chance.
Well, two chances in fact. But she doesn't really want to leave the country.
"Kari! Kari! Help! Evil girl chasing me!" she shouts.
A moment later she charges into the kitchen and trips over her partner.
It doesn't take her long to realize that Kari wouldn't be a great help like this.
"Here kitty-kitty-kitty..." Ruki hisses, standing in the door.
Gatomon can see Renamon behind Ruki, but the Digimon is simply frowning.
"Ruki! Please don't! I thought that you were Renamon!" the cat whispers.
"How could you possibly think that?" Ruki hisses.
Gatomon blushes and laughs nervously.
"Well... errr... I felt some... fur... down there..." Gatomon stammers and points between Ruki's legs.
Renamon blinks and cocks her head.
While her Tamer chases her lover through the kitchen, she stands in the corridor, lost in thought.
When Gatomon and Ruki finally leave the kitchen, she approaches Kari.
"Ummm... Kari?" she asks and looks down.
"Help. Me."
Renamon sighs and carries Kari into her room.
She places the DigiDestined in her bed and frowns.
"Kari? May I ask you something?"
Kari opens her eyes and nods weakly.
"Do girls have fur? Down there, I mean..." Renamon asks and points between Kari's legs.
"Thanks a lot, Veemon." Aquaveemon whispers.
Veemon smiles and looks down so she can't see that he's blushing.
"What for? I mean, I enjoyed this just as much as you did." he answers.
"For being such a great guy. I mean... you've been so patient and calm..."
Veemon chuckles and shakes his head.
"Whatever gave you this idea?" he asks her.
"Well... you've been so nice all the time... but I must have bored you to death..."
This time, Aquaveemon looks down. But Veemon doubts that she is blushing.
"Hey, what's wrong? I really enjoyed this evening..." he whispers, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"No. I always bore and annoy people." Aquaveemon sobs.
She tries to run into the apartment, but Veemon stops her.
"Please let me go! This has been a mistake from the start!" she cries.
Veemon is surprised when she suddenly pushes him away.
She's stronger than I thought! he admits.
But before he can say anything, Aquaveemon has closed the door behind her.
"A-Aquaveemon?" he whispers, staring at the closed door.
He waits for some minutes. Then he curses.
What happened? She has been so happy and then she's running away crying.
He shakes his head, knowing that he'd only wake Isis' parents if he used the doorbell.
Finally he sighs.
Okay. She thinks I'm patient and calm. Let's add 'stubborn' and 'determined' to this list.
Nodding, he walks to the elevator.
Aquaveemon is sitting on the couch, crying and pitying herself.
You're such a moron! How could you do this to him?
She shakes her head.
Veemon has been a real gentleman. And she just ran away.
He probably hates me for this. God, why did I do it?
God, why am I doing this? Veemon asks himself.
He balances on the edge of the balcone and looks up.
Then he looks down and gulps.
"Okay. Only seven more floors." he whispers.
Then he jumps up, holding on to the rail of the balcony above him.
Thanking all the 'training' he has had during the past few weeks, he pulls himself up.
After a minute he is balancing on the edge of this balcony.
"Okay. Only six more floors."
Boy, why does she have to live ten floors above the ground?
"Aquaveemon? Is that you?" Isis asks, rubbing her eyes.
The Digimon sniffs and looks up.
Isis instantly frowns and sits down next to her partner.
"You're... crying. What happened? Did Veemon do something mean?"
Aquaveemon quickly shakes her head.
"No. He's been perfect... But... I freaked." Aquaveemon admits.
The DigiDestined embraces her partner.
"I know what you're going through. You've had a rough start."
"And now they'll probably hate me, too!" Aquaveemon cries.
Isis strokes her head and sighs.
She jumps when something gently knocks at the balcony door.
"A burglar?" Isis whispers.
"A burglar who knocks before he breaks into a house?"
"Okay, then it's no burglar. But who... or what is it?"
Aquaveemon carefully approaches the door and blinks.
"It's... Veemon?"
"Please let me in! We have to talk!"
Veemon's voice is muffled by the glass door.
Aquaveemon steps back and shakes her head frantically.
"Please!" Veemon insists.
"Why don't you let him in?" Isis asks Aquaveemon.
"No! He's probably mad at me!"
Isis can see Veemon sigh on the balcony.
Then the little dragon climbs onto the edge of their balcony.
"Errrr... Aquaveemon?" Isis whispers.
"No!" the young Digimon replies turning away from the balcony.
Veemon gives Isis a sad look. Then he lifts his hand and does a typical 'bye-bye' gesture.
"NO! DON'T JUMP!" Isis yells and quickly opens the door.
Veemon sighs and jumps towards her.
"It's about time." he mutters.
"W-Would you... I mean... Would you really-" Isis stammers.
"Oh please. Aquaveemon's a friend, but this is a bit over the top."
"A... friend? Even after I freaked out like this?"
Isis turns around. Aquaveemon is now looking at the balcony again.
Then she looks at Veemon again and smiles.
"Okay, I guess you two have some talking to do. I'll be in my room if you need me."
Although I really doubt that. Isis adds silently and smiles.
