Disclaimer- I do not own digimon

Note: I got this ideal form Crystal Moon's The Digimon Empress Forget the 25 years later stuff at the end of series 2, this may change some of their lives from it. Malomyotismon was defeated a few months early and most people forgot most it but not the digi-destined and some others.

Family Responsibilities part 3

"Hey Kari," Davis said, "where have you been?"

"I've been spending time with my mom and Tai," Kari said leaving her school and part out of her story like Renamon.

"So there is a way to raise a control tower from a size of a normal pen. Who can make them and why?" Cody asked getting the conversation back to the more importance subject.

"Did Slugmuttmon say anything that can help?" Yoli asked Kari.

Kari froze to cover all that she remembers and said, "All that came out of its mouth was," she shook at the thought.

"Davis look," Demiveemon said pointing at a poster. Davis turns to see it was for Digimon Card Game. Soon the other followed.

Kari had a mysterious feeling that she needs to get some of the cards. She found Tai is the store with starter box and packs digimon cards in his hand. "Tai, why are you here?" Kari asked.

"I saw a commercial and felt a need to get them," Tai responded.

"I'm glad I'm not the only one that did," Kari said.

When Kari came out with a starter box and ten packs, she found all her friends waiting for her. "Must be a good game if you and Tai spend that much money," Davis said.

"I never played it I just want to get them," Kari uttered a little bit bashful.

"Hey, we can go to the park," Davis said.

"Yhea," Demiveemon yelled.

"That sound great," Tai said, "Kari and me will get Agumon and Gatomon and drop off our cards."

Tai and Kari ran home protecting their new cards. They entered the apartment while Renamon read a graphic novel. "Renamon, we're going to the park. Can you watch our cards?" Kari asked.

"Alright," Renamon said, "this are very good," looking at the book, "I'll tell Rika where you are."

"One day we should have a family picnic," Kari said.

"I'll tell Rika," Renamon said. Tai and Kari left for the park. Renamon just smiled.

When Tai and Kari got there, they found most of the old and new digi- destineds having fun. Veemon tried to get a date with Gatomon. Tai had to save Agumon after Gomamon pushed him into a pond and then Tai held Agumon so he would not delete Gomamon.

"He did what," Gatomon yelled, "Gomamon you know Agumon can't swim. Why did you do it?"

Kari picked up Gatomon and said, "It's ok." Gatomon fell into pure crying. Kari and Tai put their digimons on the ground.

Agumon hug Gatomon and said, "I'm o.k. There's no reason to cry." Tear started to rain from Agumon eyes.

"I don't know what I'll do if I lost you," Gatomon said as the fall of tear grew.

Sora watching the event thought, 'This reminds me of,' she paused to look at Tai and Kari, 'the two of thems.' After a few minutes of trying, Kari and Tai were able to stop the storm of teardrops. Gatomon and Agumon forgave Gomamon but not without warning.

As the digi-destineds had fun in the park, Tai and Kari's mother was in Tokyo picking up some importance and talk to old friend. There she got the ideal of having a reunion of the tamers. She knows a place that could cater it for her even though it was mainly a bakery and the family country house would be perfect for it. Here main reason to Tokyo was to great her husband.

On the train home, the was quit until Rika said, "Mark, I think we should tell them."

"If you think so. We'll tell them when we get home," Rika husband said.

They enter their home and summand their children. Kari and Tai knew something was up by the looks that their parents showed. "Taichi, Hikari," Their dad said adding to the tension by using their full name, "I'm," he took a deep breath and said, "not your real dad."

"Who," Tai said forcing words from his throat, "is?"

"Takato Matsuda," Their father said, "He died shortly after Kari was born." Kari and Tai left to enter their room. "Now what do we do?"

"They may have my stubbornness but," Rika said, "They have their father heart. They need time together."

In their room, Kari sat on the bet and Tai lean against the wall. "That explain a lot," Kari said, "The first thing I remember was you being pick up by a man with goggles on his head."

"I guess I copy it from him," Tai said.

"What are you talking about?" Gatomon asked climbing onto Kari's lap.

"Our dad not our real dad," Kari said hugging her partner.

"I'm confuse," Agumon said, "How many way can there be to have parents that are not real parents." He scratches his head. "What was your real father like?"

"I wished I knew," Tai said picking up his friends.

"He was brave," Renamon said appearing from the shadows, "loyal and their was a light inside him. You two are like him full of light and courage. He was a friend of my."

"Who did he die?" Tai asked.

"He fell," Renamon said turning away so no one could she her tears. "I must go," She said as she withdrawn back into the shadows.

"At least we know something," Agumon said.

"Tomorrow is a day off," Gatomon said, "so lets have some fun and then we can find out about him."

"You're right," Tai said.

The next morning, Tai was the last one to the table like normal.

"I going in early," Mark said.

"Dad," Kari said, "why are at work so much lately?"

Mark smiled that Kari still called him dad. "The company is having problems and I'm need to fix them," Mark said before getting up from the table to leave.

"Good luck, Dad," Tai yelled making Mark smiled.

When Mark closed the door, Agumon, Gatomon and Renamon came to the table. Gatomon and Agumon's manors that match Tai's as they shove food into their mouths. Rika and Renamon ate like ladies and Kari ate somewhere in between. While eating, Rika pulled a box out.

"What that?" Tai asked finish with his food.

"This is where I store my digimon cards," Rika said, "I played it as a child. I was one of the best."

"They're out again," Tai said.

"And Tai and me," Kari said helping Tai, "got some so maybe you can teach us some things."

"Later," Rika said, "I'm planning to have a tamer reunion in a week and I need to get ready for that but I'll help you when I can."

"Thank you mom," Tai said.





A Week later

Tai and Kari walk along their friends. "So there are," Izzy pause to find what to call Rika and her friend because Kari and Tai forgot to.

"They're tames," Kari said.

"How long did you know?" Matt asked.

"About a week," Tai said.

"And you did not tell us," Matt said with growing anger.

"Do you want to come to the party or not?" Tai asked.

Joe stepped between the two and said, "I knew too."

"How did you three find out?" Izzy asked with his immortal wonder.

"Our mom is a tamer," Kari said, "she planing a reunion of tamers and that what the party is about."

"My dad is a tamer," Joe said.

"A party sound great," Davis said.

"Great," Kari said.

Meanwhile At the airport, a man wearing black leather jacket with matching black pants. He placed black sunglasses to cover his eyes. He turned to see a young teen girl with pink tank top and brown shorts. Here blond hair reached down haft-way her back. Her face looked like it was from a movie.

"Amy," the man asked, "What keeping you?"

"I had to get my cat," Amy said. Then she whispered into the cage, "Are you okay?"

"I hurt my head," came quietly from the cage.

"I'll make you feel better when we get to a safe place," Amy responded.

"I'm close to you so I'm in a safe place," came from the cage, "but why are we here?"

Amy giggles and said softly, "We're here for a party with other with partners digimon."

"Can I hide like for a normal party?"

"Black Gatomon, No you can't hide," Amy said while holding her laugh in. "I think you can make some friends there."
