Disclaimer- I do not own digimon

Note: 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.

A bitter peace filled the schoolyard. Tai and Kari slowly walk to the exit. Many of the peers huddle around the two Robin Hoods. Mark stood at the gateway as his trench coat wave in the breath like a cape. Next to him was a boy a head taller and twice as heavy. His blue tank top showed his arms scar by many fights. "So Kamiya ready to get on your knees and beg me to forgive you or will Rick have fun with you."

"Not now," Tai said was the wind messed with his hair and jacket, "I have my grandparents visiting and I not going to let you stand in my way home."

"Then you must fight Rick," Mark said. Mark smiled at the screams he imagine to hear from the brown eye one standing before him.

Tai look at Mark and Rick. Mark stair into the eyes hoping to see fear but Tai's eyes were bottomless pits of courage and determination. These eye reach into Rick. They raided Rick's will to fight until he step back to let Tai and Kari to pass. Rick head hung because he lost a fight to some one with out fighting.

The principle smile as the brother and sister left the schoolyard. He clearly spoke to the gym coach, "You see."

"What if Mark some sends a group to attack him from behind?" The coach asked, "That kid may be able to stair down one what about a group."

The elder man watch as the crowd dissolve. "I wonder what Mark is going to do. It was only Kari that stood to Mark but now there is another. With Rick backing down, Mark is going to need to do something to restore his power. As much as I hate to say it, we can't solve this only the student can."

Tai and Kari ran home. They can not wait to see their grandparents. They enter the apartment to see their grandmother greeting them with a smile. In her sweat voice she told both of them that the have a surprise. Tai and Kari ran into the their room. They enter to find a large network of plastic tubes and cages. Six gerbils were running in the tubes. Tai walk up to Gatomon and Rose. The two cats watch run through the tubes. "You two are not going to eat them," Tai joke.

Rose look at Tai and said, "You never eat what you name."

Tai pointed at on of the gerbil as asked, "What his name?"

"Jr.," Gatomon said. Tai pointed at another, "Jr." Tai keep pointing at each one and got the same answer from Gatomon.

"How can they all be Jr.?" Tai asked.

"So we won't forget their name and one is Rose Jr., Gatomon Jr., Agumon Jr., Rex Jr., Kari Jr., and Tai Jr.," Rose said, "They're named after us." Then rose jump toward the siding door. "I'm going to see Sky." Rose left the room and nimbly travels to Sora's.

"Looks like Rose have a boyfriend," Rex said.

Agumon look at Rex. The two became great friends. "What do you mean?" Agumon asked in his normal confused tone.

"Well, the emblem digimon that Rose and Tai merge to was in love with the one that Sora and Sky merge to," Rex said.

"What about your merge form?" Agumon asked, "Did you have any loves?"

"Well, Blossom and TK merge form," Rex said as the skin on his face turn a cherry red.

"Look like you have a crush," Gatomon said. Gatomon turn toward Tai. "Tai, TI think you should call Sora," She said with a smile, "She too young for her boyfriend and none of her friends would believe that her."

Tai thought for a while. Tai imagine what his friends would say when they see Tai. Laugher and question if this was a jock filled his head. He sat next to Gatomon. "You're right," Tai said. He stood up and walk to the phone.

An elderly woman walks up to Tai. Tai was on the phone talking to Sora like they once did. "Why don't you ask Sora over?" Tai's grandmother asked.

Tai nodded. "Sora, my grandmother what to know if you want to come over," Tai said.

"I'll be right over," Sora said. She looks at Sky and Rose blushing at each other. Biyomon has been asking to going to Tai's. "I'm bring the digimons."

"Great," Tai said before hanging up the phone.

"Can I call Blossom?" Rex asked. After Tai dial the phone, he handed to Rex. "Can I speak to Blossom?" Rex asked TK' mother one the phone.

"Hello," Blossom said to the phone.

"Blossom, it's me Rex," Rex said, "I was hoping that you could come over."

"But I don't know where you are," Blossom.

"TK should know," Rex said, "Beg him to come over. Rose did it to Tai and he agree." Rex heard the phone hung up. "Hello," Rex said but he only go dial tone.

Sora entered the apartment only to be rushed by Tai's grandmother. "Sora, how are you?" Kari's grandmother asked a she gives Sora and bear huge. "I see you're younger." Sora tries to get free but the elder woman. Finally, Sora was freed and she just fell to the ground.

Tai walk up to Sora still recovering from the hug. "Dose all your relative hug like her?" Sora asked as Tai helped her to her feet.

"No, my grandma is getting old and does not hug as strong as my others relative," Tai said, "To make it worst is that I'm the second youngest." Tai look at himself. "Well, a twin with the youngest."

"Blossom." Tai and Sora turn to see Rex still on the phone. He keeps calling out to blossom. TK sneak into the hallway. He places his on of his finger in front of his mouth.

Blossom flew behind Rex and hugs him. "You been calling me all the time," Blossom said.

"I like your voice but I like look at you more," Rex said as his skin faded to a bright red.

Blossom moved her body to show her shyness. "I'm sorry I stop talking to you but I wanted to see you so much so I ran to TK and asked him if I could come over."

Rex smiled at the digimon before him. He grabs her paw. As the mini dinosaur pulled her to Tai's room, he said, "I want to show you something."

"Look like our digimon are pairing off," Tai said watching Rex and Blossom entering his room. Sora nodded and looks at TK. He was looking at his d- terminal. "What's up TK?" Tai asked.

"Gennai e-mail Izzy that our digi-egg are ready," TK said, "You do have your d-terminal?"

Tai pointed into his room. Sora pulls her from her pocket. The two are not allow them leave their homes with out their d-terminals. Tai remember an hour of him getting chewed out by his mother for taking a single outside the apartment. Their mothers are still recover from the reverse in aging. Tai and Sora's mother wants Tai and Sora to be able to contact some one if anything else happens. The last thing they need is a four-year-old lost in the city with clothes too big for them and no way to contact their friend or family.

"Let's go," Tai said. His mother grunted and stair at Tai. Tai ran to his room and return with his d-terminal. The threat from their parent was still fresh in Tai and Sora's minds. If they get younger or they forget their d- terminal too often then they would be grounded in their homes. "We only need our partners for this," Tai said. In his gut he felt they are truly going to need them.
