A/N: Well it took me a week to find some time to write this and I hope it was worth it.
A rough day has pass and everyone was celebrating Ruki's Birthday on the same night. Ruki wasn't very delighted about it.
Ruki had finally come back inside after getting some fresh air from her backyard and took some time to think.
Shuichon was singing along with Terriermon and Lopmon to their audience Jenrya Lee. Takato was helping Culumon and his beloved Juri. Rika went out to her backyard to do a little thinking of her past present and as well as her future. Takato enter the hallway and decided that maybe she like to talk about something in her personal life, but Renamon stop him, giving him the that Rika needs to be alone.
Ten minutes have past until she decided to come back in. Takato and Juri looked worry and they thought it was a good time to talk to her.
"Ruki, you don't seem like usual self today, is there something wrong?" question Juri with a little concern in her voice.
"If you need to talk to someone, now it is a great time, because were here," added Takato. Ruki look really confused, she thought that her friends had the right to know, but she doesn't really wanted to remind herself of the past.
"I wish I could say, but it's too painful to visit that memory," she spoke quietly. Juri, always knowing what to say, "That's what friends are for, if you tell us, you'll feel better." Ruki agreed, she led the to her room where it was comfortable enough to listen.
"It began earlier today," she started, " I was trying to stop the train, when this thing got hold of me, and it release my most worst memory. At first it started out fine, I saw my father, it felt like him, but it was too good to be true, my father was gone and will always be gone." Tears were beginning to form in Ruki's eyes.
"It's ok, Ruki, nothing is impossible, we'll get your father back somehow," spoke Juri as she put her arms around her, trying to cheer her up.
"But Katou-san, how are we going t-," Juri interrupted Takato.
"Ruki go out there and have some fun, it's your birthday after all."
Juri led Ruki out or the room after she dried her tears.
"Takato-kun remembered when digimon was just a merchandise for sell? Well we all thought digimon would never be real, but look at us now, we are digimon tamers, this proves that nothing is impossible, we just have to find a way, that is all." Takato looked deeply in Juri's eyes and knew that she still believe that Leomon could be alive.
"I know you miss Leomon Katou-san, if we ever find a way to get back Leomon, then we'll probably be able to bring back Ruki's father, I promise you," replied Takato, " Now lets go out there and have some fun."
Takato and Juri left Ruki's room and continue with the dishes, after they did a little karaoke singing them selves. Takato started first with the song "Across The Tears", then Jen with "Marai", and Ruki refused to sing.
Nights like these are wanted to be last forever, even Ruki, having her first birthday celebrated with her friends, was having the time of her life. She objected the idea in the beginning, but in the end she found it quite amusing. They sang, ate cake, had a drink and most of all, they had fun.
It was nearly midnight, the tamers were exhausted for the night and departed back home. They thank Ruki for the food and party and wished her a happy birthday and journeyed off in the darkness of the night.
"Good night Ruki, thanks for everything, and happy birthday," murmured Takato, who lost a lot of his energy during the day.
"Night Ruki-chan, thanks for everything, sweet dreams," yawned Juri.
"Thanks for hosting this party, I'm having second thoughts about it, and I might have one next year as well, have a safe trip home." Ruki waved them goodbye before she entered back in her house.
"Katou-san, is it ok if I walk you home?" Takato flushed red.
"Of course, I would understand if you don't want me to walk you home then I'll completely understand," added Takato hastily.
"I would be glad to have you by my side Takato," answered Juri in quiet tone.
"Do you think we'll actually be able to bring back Ruki's father?" questioned Takato, brining up the subject once again.
"I don't know Takato-kun, only time will tell," Juri replied with tone of uncertainty in her voice.
They spoke of many things that had happen today with Locomon and Parasimon. They walked further until the two had to split up.
"Well my house is this way, I think I'll manage safely back home, good night Takato-kun," Juri waved goodbye to Takato.
"Night Katou-san…sweet dreams," murmured Takato, "Takato, I'm sleepy when can we go home?" Guilmon startled Takato.
"Let's go home Guilmon," whispered Takato, and they headed the opposite direction. Takato thought heavily into today's battle. He kept thinking how easy the battle was won, and knew their was something if the air.
They entered the family bakery and moved upstairs to Takato's room quietly. He changed into his pajamas and bid good night to Guilmon.
Although one question still ponders in Takato's mind, is this the beginning of a new adventure? He lay down on his bed thinking, until he finally fell asleep.
