Tamers: Stuck in Paradise - Season 3
Part 11
by Christian "Sid" Lang




Ruki gasps when she feels Davis' hands on her body.
What would Mom say if she saw me right now? she thinks and smiles.
Then her smile widens when she thinks of an answer.
"Been there, done that, got the shirt ripped off."
She kisses the DigiDestined and giggles.
They had agreed to leave the clothes on this time.
I may be my mother's daughter, but I'm not my mother. she tells herself.
Of course, rules can be stretched to a certain extent.
And so Ruki gasps again when Davis' hand touches her chest again.
This time under her shirt.

Gatomon sighs.
No moaning. No gasping. No sounds coming out of the warehouse.
Next to her, Hawkmon frowns.
"I don't understand it! How can anybody resist in a situation like this?" she asks quietly.
"Maybe they aren't in the mood..." Hawkmon muses with a smile.
"The mixture I left them could have turned Joe into a sex-machine."
Hawkmon gasps when he realizes just how many love-drugs she had mixed into the coffee.
"Maybe they didn't find it?"
Gatomon sighs and nods.
"Guess you're right, Hawkmon." she mutters and starts opening the entry again.

Renamon shakes her head.
Four trees, three rocks and two cars have become victims of her rage so far.
Her paw hurts, but she doesn't care.
"Gatomon, how could you?" she whispers.
Wait wait wait! You're jumping to conclusions again! her inner voice warns her.
The fox Digimon sighs. She needs somebody to talk to. And there is only one person who can understand her.
She fades out of the park and appears in her room.
Even while her vision adjusts to the darkness of the room, Renamon starts to talk.
"Ruki, wake up please. I really need somebody to-"
By now she is able to see her surroundings again.
And she sees that Ruki is not sleeping.
Or alone. Davis and Ruki are gasping.
But Renamon doubts that they are gasping because of her sudden arrival.
Actually, neither of them has noticed her so far.
Maybe something is wrong with them. Renamon muses, having never seen humans do something like this.
She puts her paw on her Tamer's shoulder.
"Ruki, are you all right?" she asks, worrying about the girl's well-being.
Slowly, Ruki's eyes focus on Renamon. Then the Tamer freezes.
"Hey, what's wrong, sweety? What are you-" Davis mumbles and turns his head.
"-looking... at... Oh... my... God..."
Renamon now can see Davis' hands. Or rather: she sees why she can't see them.
Both are somewhere under Ruki's clothing.
"Let me guess: I should have knocked?" Renamon asks and laughs nervously.
Before Ruki can answer anything, Renamon disappears again.

Ruki feels the urge to scream. But somehow she can't.
After a few seconds she realizes what prevents her from doing it:
Davis' lips are already on hers again, trying to continue what they have done before.
She struggles briefly, and Davis lets her go.
"R-R-Renamon! She saw us!" Ruki gasps desperately.
"Oh yeah... But hey, this somehow gives it a naughty touch, right?" Davis whispers.
Ruki blushes slightly.
She admits that she had been thrilled somehow.
The sudden adrenaline rush has certainly given her new energy.
"You're right... Now come and kiss your naughty Tamer lady..." she purrs and smiles.

"Psssst, Veemon!" Gatomon hisses.
"Over here!" Gatomon can hear Veemon whisper.
"Sorry it took so long. But I didn't find Kari and it took me ages to free you manually."
"It's okay. Hey, Aquaveemon, wake up!" Veemon hisses.
Gatomon flexes her claws in the darkness.
Aquaveemon has been SLEEPING?
She almost curses loudly, but decides that not everything is lost yet.
Maybe tomorrow. I'll have to think of something. Something foolproof.
She cocks her head.
Something foolproof enough for this set of fools. she corrects herself.

Some minutes later, Renamon is lying in the living room, curled up into a small furry ball with eyes.
Although it isn't cold inside the apartment, she is shivering.
She wouldn't have thought that she could feel this lonely.
Even when Ruki had been known as the Ice Queen, it hadn't been like this.
Now Renamon can't even visit her Tamer because of this boy!
And Gatomon... well...
...she's probably having a good time with Hawkmon. the fox thinks bitterly.
She sobs and blinks.
No. I'm just making this up. Hawkmon would never... she tells herself.

Hawkmon sighs happily as he puts one wing around Gatomon's shoulder.
"How could this happen?" Gatomon asks and points at Veemon and Aquaveemon.
Hawkmon hides his smile as he watches the two Digimon walking down the street.
They are just walking. Not even holding hands or something like that.
Perfect. Perfect! he cheers silently.
He gives the cat a hug, imagining her to be Aquaveemon.
Then he freezes when he feels her claws at his chest.
"What are you doing?" Gatomon whispers, making Hawkmon gulp.
"Errrr... Just wanted to tell you that I am just as sad as you are." he stammers.
She blinks and smirks.
"Oh... Well, thanks. But I think I'll just go home now."
"Sure. We deserve some rest."

After having said good-bye to Aquaveemon at an intersection, he walks through the streets alone.
"I don't know... You're simply... special."
Her words won't leave his head.
Does this mean she... likes me? Loves me?
He sighs and shakes his head.
She is the new girl in town. Shy and inexperienced.
He doesn't want to risk anything, not wanting to drive her away or hurt her.
"Oh hi Veemon."
"Hi T.K." Veemon replies.
Then he freezes.
"T.K.?" he asks and raises his head.
The DigiDestined of Hope is walking next to him. Alone.
And he does not seem to come from Kari's home. The direction is all wrong.

"Where are you coming from?" Veemon asks and frowns.
"Oh, I just decided to go out for a walk." the boy answers and shrugs.
"So your date with Kari is over already?"
"Date? Kari?" T.K. asks and takes a look around.
"Yeah. Gatomon told us you were dating Kari and that she couldn't find-"
Veemon stops talking when he realizes what this would implicate.
"You... haven't been out with Kari tonight?" he carefully asks.
"Errr... no. Why do you ask?"
"N-N-Nothing. M-My fault." Veemon stammers and tries to smile.
What if Kari lied when she told Gatomon about her date with T.K.? he thinks.
He gulps.
What if she has actually dated somebody tonight?
Veemon frowns. He would never have imagined Kari to be like this.
Maybe Ruki has influenced her...
But who would Kari date if not T.K.?
Suddenly Veemon realizes who would be the perfect candidate.
Oh my God... What if she approached Davis?
The dragon Digimon does not know whether to cheer or to cry.
Please please please! Don't let this happen!
Then another thought crosses his mind.
What if she dated... Isis?

Gatomon enters the apartment through the kitchen window.
She ignores the food Kari has left for her and walks into the living room.
I wonder if I should visit Renamon... she thinks.
Then she remembers what had happened the last time she tried something like that.
"G-Gatomon?" she hears a weak voice coming from a dark corner.
"Renamon? Is that you?" she asks, walking to the corner.
Finally she can make out her beloved furball and smiles.
"I missed you so much..." Renamon whispers and slowly assumes a sitting position.
Gatomon smiles as she approaches the golden fox she loves.
"Awwww... I missed-"
Her words are cut off by a low snarl coming from Renamon.
"Wh-What's wrong?" Gatomon asks and cocks her head.
"You've been with... him, right?" Renamon whispers.
"Excuse me?"
"Hawkmon's smell is all over you!" Renamon almost howls.
Geez, must have happened when that crazy bird hugged me! But why is she so mad?
"Hey, what's-"
The cat is startled when Renamon grabs her shoulders.
"Why didn't you just tell me that you weren't happy with me anymore?"

"Not happy with you? What are you talking about?" Gatomon asks and cocks her head.
"Please don't do this. Don't lie to me. I've seen you talk to him. You told me to stay away."
Gatomon's eyes widen when she realizes what Renamon must be thinking.
"You think that Hawkmon... and I...?" she stammers.
"Don't worry. I won't try to intervene because it would only make you sad." Renamon whispers and sobs.
Gatomon gulps. She never thought about Renamon's feelings.
At the same time she is impressed by the way Renamon is dealing with this.
"Even if it is one-sided, I still love you and wish to see you happy. So I won't hurt Hawkmon."
The Chapmpion Digimon sighs and smiles.
"Renamon. You are a paranoid, furry terminator." she mutters, making Renamon blink.
"But you are MY paranoid, furry terminator. And I would never leave you." she continues.
"So that means that you and Hawkmon aren't..." Renamon whispers.
"Trust me, there is nothing between us that you don't know-"
Gatomon gasps when Renamon hugs her, driving the air out of her lungs.
When the fox releases her, the cat coughs.
"Guess I owe you an explanation." Gatomon finally admits.
"Later. Later." Renamon suddenly purrs and smiles.
The fox starts nuzzling Gatomon's neck, causing her to giggle.
"We really should go into a room..." Gatomon whispers.
"Bad luck. Kari's in her room, and Davis is ravishing Ruki in her room."
"He is WHAT?" Gatomon snaps.
"I'll show you what I saw him do..." Renamon purrs again.
This time the fox is grinning.

This has really been a weird evening.
Aquaveemon yawns and shakes her head.
The evening had not been like what she had expected.
It had been better.
She smiles as she remembers the warm feeling as she leaned against Veemon's chest.
Is it really love? Could it be?
Aquaveemon hums merrily as she dances through the streets.
God, if I could just tell him I love him!
She sighs and frowns.
"And then what? I bet he hears that from everybody. He's a legend after all."
Although I have seen that they aren't really as legendary as everybody thinks.
Still she has to admit that Veemon is famous.
And he'd probably laugh when she told him about her feelings.
"Oh, why do I have to love him?" she cries and shakes her head.
