Disclaimer: Can't think of why I would want to own digimon now. The third and forth seasons sux ass. This is mine own opinion and does not reflect my view on the first two seasons.
A/N: I know, I know, the last chapter was supposed to be the last chapter but my best friend suggested that Ken and Daisuke make a cuter couple. I told her whatever and then got this really great idea for this fic. Too bad I'm finished right? Nope! Alternate ending, here I come! Whoo hoo! Sorry for this ppl, I think this reflects the humor part of this story. (Humor part? What humor part? Heheh.) It's a continuation of the sixth chapter. Oh yeah, but I forgot to include my newest reviewer, Fabi-chan, because I didn't read the reviews until after. Great review. Sorry Sarah, I kinda flipped at you for not reviewing then you do so, gomen-nasai. Thoughts - '...' and speech - "..."

Boardwalk: Alternate Ending


Dai gulped and took after Tk, waving bye to Ken as he ran to the door. Suddenly, Daiskue stopped in his tracks. Something from deep inside the depths of his soul cried out. Something told him he might regret this move. But what is regret? Like he wouldn't feel it anyways. No matter what path he chose no would lead him down a road of heartache on one part and joy on the other. What did it really matter?

Ken watched the younger boy in interest as he shook his head violently, and look over his shoulder, back at him. Ken knew that inadvertently, Daisuke chose him instead of Takeru.

"Ken?" called out Daisuke timidly.

"What?" he called back.

The other boy turned around and walked towards Ken. About halfway there he stopped in his tracks.

"Screw this!" he called out.

Daisuke ran the rest of the way over to Ken who received him graciously. As Daisuke held unto Ken with dear life, Ken massaged his back, whispering about how everything would be fine now. But inside Ken was crying. Dai on the other hand felt as though something was being twisted inside of him. The other path, the one with Takeru, was being torn up and blocked off.

"Aishiteru, Daisuke-kun. You know that ne?"

"Hai, aishiteru too."

They collapsed to the shingled roof in a heap, cuddled into each other. Hikari, who saw everything, walked over to them. She smiled and tapped Daisuke gently on the shoulder. He turned around to ram smack into a hand. He held his cheek as Kari covered her mouth and giggled.

"Dai you baka."

Just then Takeru walked out through the doors all smiles. Ken gripped his love tightly and grinned. All the while, the only one who seemed out of place, being confused, was the little ole redhead.

"Wha?" he questioned.

"AND CUT!" said a voice form out of nowhere.

Miyako jumped out from a little alcove and posed with the video camera in her hands. Daisuke was now really, really confused.

"What the hell?" he questioned everyone.

In response they all started to laugh. Daisuke stood up and looked at Ken pleadingly, but Ken was way too occupied holding his gut from laughing too hard. Takeru stopped laughing for a few moments to try and explain.

"Dai, this was supposed to be a movie, see. You know, as a gag. We going to tell you and all, but things started to turn serious. Truly, if you knew it wasn't real, then everything would be shot. We couldn't have made it this good. Gezz, it was pretty fun though...don't you think?"

Daisuke looked at the ground.

"Was everything filmed?" he asked in a small voice.

Miyako nodded, "every second. Ken did the filming first, at the fair. But then I did it. We managed to get everything, even stuff at home. Jun cooperated with us and set up a camera in your room and stuff."

"So you violated my privacy and everything then."

"Well," Hikari started, "maybe a little bit."

Daisuke turned around and walked to the edge of the building and sat down, dangling his legs out over the edge of the roof. He stared out over the soccer field in the back of his school deep in thought. The others came over and stood by him waiting for him to say something. But he just sat there.

"Dai-kun, what's wrong? Why are you so silent and sullen?"

"Nuttin and cuz." was his simple reply.

Hikari rolled her eyes, gave a heavy sigh and hugged Daisuke. His eyes grew wide and scared. What the hell was with the chosen today? Well, all week actually?

"Listen, we're sorry. We just wanna know what's wrong. Is there something wrong with this? Ask us questions. Please Daisuke."

Daisuke could never refuse Hikari before, and he still couldn't now. He stood up, but still faced away from the group.

"Ok then, I will ask some questions...what do you mean by it being a movie? Was it real or fake? What I mean is did you mean anything in the movie or was it an act? Do you all hate me that much?"

Takeru and Hikari started to answer but Ken stopped them so that he could have a chance to explain.

"Dai-kun, let me tell you this first, we do not hate you. This film was not real, but some things in it are. Most of it was overly dramatic and we tried that. Heheh, and most of us realized something too. Never mess with a mad Daisuke."

"So, what parts did you mean and what parts didn't you?"

"At the fair, I was supposed to be flirting with you right. But when you smashed your head against the wall, I don't know what came over me. It was like a second instinct or sumthin."

"I do love you Dai-kun. You always knew that, but we wanted to spice it up a little for the movie. How was I to know that you liked Takeru."

"But I don't!"
"So you don't like _my_ Takeru?"

"Well...I'm not sure. Now that I think about it, I'm not really sure."

"In my opinion, that's a good thing. Cuz he's mine, hee hee."

The group of them laughed. Then one thing sprung into everyone's minds...where the hell was Iori? All of a sudden, there was maniacal laughter and a disgruntled looking Iori appeared from out of nowhere.

"Looking for me?" he exclaimed.

Everyone else looked at him with blank faces and shook their heads. Iori gave a sad little sigh, turned around and kicked at a stone on the roof.

"Fine, no one cares about me."

Then as sudden as he came - he left. Everyone anime sweatdropped.

"O-K." they all drawled together.

"I forgive you all if you answer me one question?"

"What's the question Suke?" chirped Miya.

"What were we talking about?"

Hikari scratched her head as she took ahold of Takeru's arm. "I don't remember."

"I don't either, but Miyako, why do you have a video camera?"

"Huh? I have a wha-" she looked at the camera. "Ummm...Idunknow."

Ken gave Daisuke a sidelong glance and blushed.

"Miya?"

"Yes Ken-chan?" she answered excitedly.

"Why don't we look at the video. It might give us a clue as to what happened."

Daisuke hugged Ken goofy. "Great! Why didn't I think of that?!"

Takeru chuckled and smiled one of his slow smiles at Dai as Miyako ejected the tape.

"Um...guys, I think we might have a problem."

"What is it Miya?"

"Kari, Tk, Dai, Ken. I think that we're never going to know what happened. Um...there's no tape."

Everyone sweatdroped then started to laugh. As they all slowed their chuckles, Daisuke's tummy growled.

"Heheh, I think I'm hungry."

"Well, let's get some ice cream." Hikari volunteered.
"My treat." Takeru chimed in.

His offer was met by a happy smile by Daisuke, two frowns from the children of Kindness and Light, and shouts of joy from Miyako. He ignored everything except the smile. They all, however, skipped out of the door, happily chatting away.

As the door clicked shut with a deafening silence, the wind blew leaves in a threatening manner and a shadow passed in front of the door. There was a low gutted laugh and all was silent. But that, is for another story.
