Author's Note: This was a great experience with the roleplaying. I think I might do it again if I write another crazy fic like this… even though I STILL haven't used all the digimon… not even half… oh well… by the end of all this Legendary Tamer stuff, which might not end at this story, then I will have written in most, if not all of the digimon. Thank you all who roleplayed with me. I hope you had as much fun as I did.

Chapter 7B: Ballroom Blues

It was a large building that they were going into. Elizabeth smiled at Sy.

"Thanks for coming," she said, spinning around in her light purple dress. Sy smiled.

"… Glad I could be of assistance," he said, then looked around. Elizabeth stared at him for a moment.

"What's up?" she asked. Sy blinked, then looked down at her.

"… Oh, nutin'," he lied. Elizabeth smiled.

"Okay…"

She walked forward for a moment, then turned around.

"C'mon you stiff!"

~***~

Inside, it was all nice and pretty. It was a large dance hall, with a few tables that had things like food and wine on them. Elizabeth smiled, noticing a few of her friends in the crowd. She turned to Sy again.

"Okay, no killing anyone... no beer... no wine... no alcohol... n-"

"Just shut up you. I understand."

Elizabeth smiled.

" 'Kay, now BE good Sy. I'm off."

She trotted off to find a few of her friends. Sy smiled, walking in another direction.

~***~

Brad craned his neck over the crowd. He wanted Elizabeth, and he wanted her badly. Something just told him he did wrong to her, and he needed to make it up to her. WhiteTigramon was in his arms.

"Daddy?" he asked. Brad looked down at the digimon.

"What?" he replied in question. WhiteTigramon smiled.

"Where's Mommy?" he asked cutely. Brad growled.

"I'd be with 'Mommy' if I found her already!"

WhiteTigramon giggled.

"Okie dokie Daddy!"

Brad sighed, rolling his eyes. He caught sight of a red head of hair. He smiled, walking forward.

~***~

Elizabeth smiled as she saw Koala heading her way. Kerramon was trotting next to her. Elizabeth waved.

"Hey Koala," she said.

"Hi…" Koala said in a somewhat drunken matter. Elizabeth snickered as Kerramon followed. Both were in matching yellow dresses, and, even though Kerramon looked somewhat sober, they were both drunk.

"It's… Liz, right?" Koala said again. Elizabeth smiled, then nodded.

"Yup… That's me…"

~***~

Sy looked around for a moment, holding a wine glass in his hand, then found Kima. He smiled, then trotted over.

"Hey Kima," he said in a drunken slur. Kima looked skeptically at him.

"You're drunk, aren't you?"

"… I only had one glass!" he shouted in a lie. Kima smiled at him.

"Yeah right."

She ran her hand through his hair. He smiled at her happily.

"You're cute when I'm drunk…" he said. Kima immediately frowned.

"Oh really?"

"Not that you aren't cute when I'm in any other condition…"

She smiled again.

"Oh Sy…"

~***~

Brad looked around the ballroom. He had searched for her for about half an hour. No sign of her. He sighed heavily.

"Hi Brad!"

Brad whirled around. That voice. It was so familiar. He looked at where she should have been, and found… Jennifer.

"Ummm… hi… Jen…" he said, inching away for a moment. Jen smiled at him, only following.

"So… Brad… how've you been?" she asked nervously. Brad looked back at her.

"… Fine. Now, if you don't mi- THERE SHE IS!"

Jen frowned when Brad left her to go see… none other than Elizabeth. Jen ran forward, past Brad, who was left completely astonished as the girl reached his girlfriend first.

"Hello there," Jen said to her. Elizabeth smiled.

"Hi… oh, BRAD!"

Elizabeth was about to run forward to greet him, but Jen stopped her. Elizabeth looked at Jen for a moment.

"Look, did you ever stop to think if he was taken?" Jen asked. Elizabeth blinked.

"… Yeah… and he is… by me…" she replied, unsure of what Jen was trying to get at. Jen only shook her head.

"No… last time I checked, Brad was single."

Elizabeth blinked.

"When was the last time you checked?"

Jen looked back at the now horrified Brad.

"… A few days ago," she said. Elizabeth stared at Brad angrily.

"… I just… a week… BRADLEY SAGARI!!!"

~***~
Sy looked up just in time to see Brad being eternally beat up by two girls, one Elizabeth, and the other… he wasn't sure of. He snickered to himself, then went back to his conversation with Kima.

"So, how have you and Liz been faring?" Kima asked cautiously.

"… On a strictly business relationship? Just fine… on a friend to friend basis? I'd rather kill myself…" Sy replied, "Why? Did you think she and I were goin' out or somethin'?"

Kima shook her head a no. Sy smiled at her.

"Don't worry, you and I are together, and I know that."

He chuckled to himself.

"It's Braddie Boy over there I'd worry about… if I could worry about a complete idiot…"

Kima snickered a little, but then frowned as she realized the fight going on between the three. It didn't seem necessary to have a squall like that between the three, even though she didn't know what the fight was about.

"Are you sure we shouldn't go help him?" she asked. Sy only shook his head.

"Nah…. Brad can take care of himself… he's a big boy…"

~***~
As Brad could take care of himself from two girls, he couldn't take care of himself from three. Rachel, catching sight of the small quarrel, walked over to see what was up.

"Hey Liz," she said, watching as Elizabeth was smacking a cowering Brad. Elizabeth looked over at Rachel.

"Oh, hey Rachel, you're just in time to physically abuse Brad," she said, "… and verbally… do you know Brad's first name?"

Brad grabbed Elizabeth by the waist and dragged her down on top of him. She stared at him for a moment.

"HEY! I WANNA KNOW HIS FULL NAME!" Rachel shouted angrily. Brad's gaze was on Elizabeth. He smiled.

"Look… I'm sorry for everything I've done to make you feel bad… I wanna make it up to you… we all better?" he asked. Elizabeth stared at him for a moment, then looked away once Brad began to give her his puppy dog face. Elizabeth smiled weakly.

"… Yes… we're all better…" she said. Rachel slapped Brad on the head angrily.

"Excuse me, can I have time to make up lost time with MY GIRLFRIEND?!"

~***~

Bubomon smiled, setting the plate down on the floor. WhiteTigramon began to sniff at it, then he ate it happily.

"I take it that you like it," he said. WhiteTigramon beamed up at him.

"Yup Uncle Bubomon!"

Bubomon smiled, then turned around.

"Oh, hi Zoramon!"

The aquatic digimon smiled at Bubomon.

"… Hey," she said.

"Auntie Zoramon?"

The digimon looked down at WhiteTigramon.

"Awww… he's a cutie," she said, picking him up.

"Auntie Zoramon!"

Zoramon smiled happily.

"He's a cutie alright," she said. Bubomon smiled, folding his arms.

"If we ever have kids one day Bubomon…" Zoramon said. Bubomon, in complete shock, fell over anime style. He quickly got back up.

"Oh, I'm sorry…" Zoramon said, "… I didn't know if th-"

"No sweat," Bubomon said nervously, "I'm a big mon…"

Zoramon smiled.

"So… who's is he?"

"… Oh, WhiteTigramon? He's Lizzy's…"

"Who?"

"Lizzy, Brad's girlfriend."

"O-"

"PERRRRRRRRRRRVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Rachel stomped by. Zoramon blinked.

"Oh by Triforce, say that was her…"

"… It'd be a lie…"

~***~

Esse sighed, watching the events occur in front of her eyes.

"Dungamon… you feeling bored now?" she asked.

"Bored and need to get something to do…" he said. Esse sighed.

"Let's go then bu-"

"NOW, TO ANNOUNCE THE ARRIVAL OF THE GUEST OF HONOR!!!"

"Maybe this Guest of Honor has a cute digimon… maybe the Guest of Honor is a cute digimon!" Dungamon said, "Awww, Esse, let's stick around to see who it is!"
Esse's eyes were transfixed on the tamer standing at the top of the long staircase.

"… No… Hectic… Way…"
