A/N: This chapter is not one of my favorites, but I couldn't bring myself to re-write any of it.

What Your Love Means To Me
Chapter seven: Sorry Sunday
"Don't worry about tomorrow night," a gekomon said in a squeaky voice. "We know a unimon who has agreed to take over."
"Good!" Davis groaned.
"That's too bad," Kari said. "We enjoy helping out."
"It's such a shame," Davis said, changing his mind rather quickly.
"You can still come," the gekomon allowed. "Everyone's welcome to the Aine festival."
"I don't know," Cody began. "Two consecutive nights of staying up late is quite enough, if you ask me. Besides, we have school Monday. Partying Sunday night doesn't seem like a very smart thing to do."
"You're absolutely right," Ken agreed. "I'd better head back."
"Bye, Ken," Yolei said loudly though Ken was right there.
Ken partly smiled and waved.
"Why does Ken have to live so far away?" Yolei muttered to Cody as Ken disappeared into the woods.
"Just to spite you, Yolei," Davis joked.
"Isn't he so cute?" she said, gawking after him, though she couldn't see him anymore.
"Definitely," Davis said wryly. "He's one of the cutest boys I know."
"I didn't know you swung that way, Davis," T. K. laughed.
"Hey!" Davis shouted, holding up a fist threateningly.
Gatomon glanced at Necromamon. He still sat there and looked at her rather oddly as if waiting for her to do something specific. She had no idea what this was so she couldn't oblige him.
"Maybe we should head back," Kari suggested.
They all agreed and then returned. Yolei went with Cody and returned to the real world to his home computer, since hers was in view of the family room. The rest of them returned to their own computers and went straight to bed.

Kari and Gatomon slept in Sunday morning until Tai came in with a bucket of ice water, shocking them awake, then scurrying out of the room.
"Tai!" Kari yelled, shivering.
Gatomon actually laughed at this, though she was drenched and shivering too. In response, Kari hit her with a Pillow, and they proceeded into a pillow fight that lasted until noon.
"So," Kari began over a bowl of noon cereal, "what do you think about Ken and Yolei?"'
"Seems like a digidestined romance," Gatomon giggled.
"Unlike the horrible triangle I'm caught in," Kari groaned.
"Why don't you just pick between them once and for all?" Gatomon suggested.
"I don't know," Kari muttered. "I don't want to hurt the other one's feelings."
"But, if you were to choose," Gatomon began, leaning close, "which would you pick?"
"Honestly, I don't think I could choose one," Kari said.
"You like them the same?" Gatomon asked.
"You could say it like that," Kari explained, smiling. "See, Davis isn't really the type of guy I imagined myself with. And T. K. and I have been friends so long, it seems a shame to ruin it with a relationship. I'd prefer someone outside the digidestined, and I don't want to decide that until I'm older anyway."
Gatomon thought about this a second. Kari was young for a human. Gatomon was also young for a digimon, but old enough.
"What about you and Patamon?" Kari said, cautiously watching Gatomon.
Gatomon wrinkled her forehead, asking, "Is it all right to like someone only some of the time?"
"I'm sure it is," Kari told her. "Why?"
"Really, I don't mind Angemon's muscles and his nice voice," Gatomon mused. "But Patamon is so..."
"I see," Kari said smiling.
"Is that shallow?" Gatomon demanded, her eyes widening.
"I'm afraid so," Kari voiced. "What about Patamon's personality?"
"He gets on my nerves as both of them," Gatomon grumbled.
"I guess he's not the one then," Kari pointed out.
"I never thought that he was," Gatomon admitted. "I really don't think anyone is the one."
"You don't believe in soul mates?" Kari asked in surprise.
"I do," Gatomon muttered, "but mine's come and gone."
Kari put her hand on Gatomon's shoulder.
"But I don't need love, right?" Gatomon said, displaying a fraudulent can't-change-it-now mood. "Digimon and humans alike live long lives without love. I can do that, right?"
Without realizing it, Gatomon's eyes had filled with tears.
***************
Gatomon glanced sleepy-eyed at the lit screen of Kari's computer and wondering why it was on so late. Kari was still asleep beside her and Gatomon didn't remember Kari turning on her computer before they went to bed. Curious, Gatomon climbed out of bed and walked over to the computer. The digiport was open to the Aine festival. Gatomon just spent the last two nights there. Why was she being called back? It WAS the last day of the Aine Festival for the next four years.
Gatomon glanced back at Kari. Still asleep. Quickly, Gatomon grabbed Kari's digivice and pointed it toward the computer. She found herself whirling around and then suddenly in the midst of the Aine Festival. The gekomon, gazimon, kunemon and elecmon danced about gaily.
"May I have this dance?" came a soft, deep voice behind her.
She spun around and looked up at those familiar green eyes.
A/N: I'm not sure if you can pick where you return from the digital world, but in my story they can. I also don't know if a digimon is able to use her digidestined's digivice. Let's just pretend she can.
