Digimon - Girl's Night Out
Disclaimer: Digimon is owned by some company in Japan, maybe Bandai
'cause they put out the DiGimon Tamagotchi. Anyway, if Digimon isn't
Bandai's, it sure isn't mine. Why do people put these disclaimers in?
Probably to try and get off some quick remark and hope it's funny.
Anywho...
This story takes place after the gang Tai, Sora, Matt, Izzy, Mimi,
Joe, and T.K. have defeated Devimon on File Island and Gennai tells them
they are the Digi-Destined all the other Digimon help them build a raft to
proceed to the Server. They're all out wandering around shortly after
they land with help from Whamon. Now, on to the story...
begin
The sun was setting in the Digi-world. The Digi-Destined had spent
several nights in this desert. Unlike the deserts on Earth, which were
hot in the day and cold in the night, this desert was hot in the day and
pleasantly warm in the night. That was previous nights. There was a cool
wind blowing across the land and the kids began to shiver.
"We should find some shelter from this wind," said Joe.
"Come on, Joe," began Tai. "This is a desert. There's nothing around
here to hide behind some cactus'."
"And what's wrong with cacti?" asked Palmon.
"Yeah, Tai, what's wrong with cactus'?" Mimi said, echoing her
Digimon's query.
"Um, nothing at all, but it would be pretty hard for all of us to hide
behind a cactus, don't you think."
"Tai has a point," began Izzy. "We need to find something big enough
to act as a wind-break."
"Yeah, and that comes back to what I was saying, there's nothing
around here like that," said Tai.
"Well, what about that big rock?" asked T.K.
"Huh?" said Tai and Agumon.
Ten friends turned and looked in the direction that T.K., Matt, and
Gabumon were facing. There was a large rock, just about a kilometre
away from where they stood. They all stood staring at it, until a gust of
wind came up and caused them all to shiver.
"Brrr, I'm starting to freeze," complained Mimi.
"You aren't the only one," added Joe.
"Ah, the cold isn't so bad," said Gomamon.
"Maybe for you, but I don't have a nice, warm fur coat to protect me
like you do," Joe quipped.
Gomamon then hopped up on Joe's back. "How's this for warmth, then?"
asked Gomamon. Joe stiffened and flailed his arms around, trying to get
Gomamon off him. "You're cold too! Get off!" Gomamon slid off Joe's
back onto the sand, laughing.
"I say we get over there as soon as possible," said Sora.
"That's easy for me," announced Piyomon. "The wind is blowing
straight towards that rock. I'll beat you all to it! Race you there!"
she called as she took to her wings.
"Not if I have a say in the matter!" proclaimed Tentomon who took off
after her. The rest of the Digi-Destined began running towards the rock,
laughing all the way. Matt and Gabumon, and T.K. and held back for a
moment. Matt looked down at T.K. and said:
"Good eye, little bro."
T.K. laughed and said, "Thanks," while Matt tussled his hat. "But
Poyomon and me will beat you and Gabumon there!" he called out as he ran
after the others.
"Hey!" exclaimed Gabumon.
"No fair!" shouted Matt as he and Gabumon took off after his little
brother.
The Digi-Destined were all gathered behind the rock, sheltered from
the wind nestled between two of the several outcroppings of the rock.
When they got there they discovered several small, dead trees which they
broke up into kindling and Agumon, using his Pepperbreath, started a fire.
Joe unpacked some food from his bag and Tai was now cooking it. Izzy was
using his lap-top and relating some information to the others, but they
were all to focused on the almost-cooked food to listen to him.
Finally the food was ready. The guys started chowing down, stuffing
food into their mouths as fast as they could. Sora, Piyomon, Mimi, and
Palmon all watched in silence while their male friends continued to pig
out. Sora sighed and began to slowly eat her food. Mimi, Palmon, and
Piyomon followed suit.
"You know what I miss," said Mimi.
"What's that?" asked Palmon.
"I miss having just girls around. You know what I mean, right, Sora?"
"Yeah, I know. The guys are nice and all, but I'd like to have a
girls night out," replied Sora.
"Yeah, or maybe a slumber party," added Mimi.
"What do you mean 'a girls night out?'" asked Piyomon.
"'A slumber party?' What's that?" asked Palmon.
"You mean you've never been to a slumber party?" Mimi asked.
"No, what is it?"
The girls all stopped eating while Sora thought about how to convey
the concepts of a girls night out and a slumber party. Mimi was lost in
thought, too, while the two Digimon kept looking at the two girls, waiting
for and answer.
"Well," Sora began tentatively, "a girls night out is when you get
together with some of you girl friends and talk about girl stuff, without
any boys around."
"You mean like taking care of your feathers so they look their best?"
asked Piyomon.
"Sort of..."
"Then what's a slumber party?" Palmon asked again.
"Oh, that's like a girls night out, only you spend all night at one
friends house and you can talk about anything," said Mimi cheerily.
"They're really fun!"
"Yeah, it sounds like fun," said Palmon.
"It does. Say, we should have a girls night out or a slumber party or
whatever," said Piyomon.
Mimi clapped her hands. "Okay, lets do it! Let's have a slumber
party!"
Mimi and Palmon and Piyomon all started taking excitedly, but Sora had
a slight frown on her face. "But, where would we have one?" she asked,
realizing that there was no place they could go without the boys being
there too. The others stopped their talking. Sora was right, where could
they have a slumber party. The closest they had ever come to one was when
they were in Devimon's Mansion of Illusion.
After some time Mimi spoke up in that unsure voice of hers. "Well, I
guess we could just go and sleep in a different section of the rock.
There are a couple of rocks that stretch out, making a few spots like the
one we're in now, remember?"
A smile spread across Sora's face. "Yeah! That's a great idea,
Mimi!"
"It is?" questioned Mimi in the same unsure voice.
"Yeah, it is," responded Sora. "The way parts of the rock jut out
make spaces like different rooms. And there's enough fire wood for two
fires so we wouldn't get cold! And best of all, we wouldn't have to put
up with those pigs for one night."
Sora's last sentence was said with a touch of malice as she shifted
her eyes to the side to look at the guys. The other girls followed her
gaze. They saw the boys all lying on their backs with their big, full
stomachs spilling out from under their shirts. "I see what you mean,"
said Mimi.
"Let's get ready then," said Palmon.
"Right," said Sora.
"Palmon and me will bring over the food and blankets while you," she
addressed Sora, "and Mimi get the fire and some firewood and tell the
boys about our plan," said Piyomon.
"Okay," said Mimi. So the Piyomon got the blankets and Palmon carried
their food while Sora and Mimi went to talk to the boys. The two girls
went up and stood beside Tai, who was still on his back with a bulging
stomach and closed eyes. They stood there for a few seconds waiting for
Tai to acknowledge them, but it wasn't happening. Finally Sora spoke
up:
"Um...Tai?"
Tai slowly opened one eye and looked up at the two girls. "Huh? What
is it, Sora? Is everything okay?" he said as he eased himself up to rest
on his elbows. The other four guys started to stir, interested in what
was happening.
"Oh, everything is fine. But Mimi and me are going to go sleep in a
different spot."
"Why? What's wrong with sleeping here?" asked Joe.
"Nothing's wrong with this place," said Sora. "We just wanted to have
our own little slumber party, and talk about girl stuff and stuff like
that."
Tai, Matt, and Joe's mouths all open in recognition. Izzy just raised
and eyebrow. T.K. looked back and forth between all of the other guys,
not understanding what the girls meant. The four older boys weren't too
sure what "girl talk" was, but they did know they didn't want to hear it,
especially after a good meal. "Sure guys, have fun," said Tai.
"Okay. We'll just be over in the next hollow," announced Sora. "If
we aren't back for breakfast, could one of you come over and wake us
up?"
"Yeah, sure," said Matt.
"Thanks," replied Sora as she picked up some firewood. Mimi took a
burning branch from the boy's fire and the two girls walked over to where
Palmon and Piyomon were. As the girls walked off they called back, "Good
night." The boys returned the well-wish.
When the girls were out of ear-shot, T.K. asked, "What's girls talk?"
"Yeah," said Gomamon.
"What is it, Matt?" asked Gabumon.
"Izzy, do you know what this 'girl talk' is?" Tentomon questioned.
Agumon just looked as Tai for the answer.
"Um... that's kind of hard to explain..." Tai said, scratching the
back of his head and laughing nervously.
"Why?" asked T.K. in response to what Tai said.
Tai was stumped. He didn't know what to say, so he just looked
blankly at Joe. T.K. and the Digimon looked at Joe, too.
"Well, it's kinda... because... um..." was all Joe could get out.
"Do you know, Izzy?" Tentomon asked again.
"No, I can't say I do," replied Izzy.
"Well, maybe the answer is in your computer," suggested Tentomon.
"Uhh..." groaned Izzy. A seemingly long silence followed.
"It won't be in his computer," said Matt. All eyes turned to him now.
"Why not?" asked Gabumon.
"Yeah, Izzy's computer knows lots of things," said Tentomon in defense
of Izzy.
"It's all pretty simple," said Matt.
"Well then, tell us Matt," said Joe.
"None of us knows what girl talk is," said Matt. "Only girls know
what girl talk is, and its usually stuff boys don't want to hear about.
But you'll learn more about it as you grow up, so don't worry, okay?" Tai
nodded in agreement with Matt's explanation, while Izzy rubbed his chin
like he was contemplating something. Joe just sat there, keeping quiet.
"Okay, Matt," said T.K. giggling.
"But couldn't we ask the girls what girl talk is?" asked Gabumon.
"Hey, that's a great idea," said Tentomon.
"Yeah, let's go do it now!" proclaimed Gomamon.
"NO!" shouted Tai, Matt, Izzy and Joe in unison.
"Why can't we ask them about it?" Agumon asked.
Tai had that blank look on his face again. "Um... Matt?"
"It would be rude to asked them about it," explained Matt.
"Like asking someone about a secret?" said T.K.
"Yeah, like that."
"Then we won't asked about it," said Gabumon. The other digimon
assented to this. Tai, Matt, Izzy, and Joe let out a sigh of relief.
Sora and Mimi had the fire going in their little camp while Piyomon
and Palmon spread the blankets near the fire to warm up. They all put
their food back in to warm it up. Sora lay back and relaxed on the
ground.
"Oh, this is going to be so much fun!" proclaimed Mimi with her hands
clasped in front of her.
"Yeah, it's nice to have just us girls," responded Sora.
Soon the food was nice and hot again and they resumed their meal.
They chatted while they ate, a luxury they didn't have with the boys since
they were always to busy stuffing and shovelling food into their mouths.
The talk continued long into the night, and the girls and their Digimon
could hear faint sounds of the boys snoring. They still talked on, Sora
and Mimi telling stories about Earth and Piyomon and Palmon telling them
tales about the Digi-World.
The girls were quite excited about their little outing and the talk
continued. Piyomon and Palmon were having a hard time staying awake but
Sora and Mimi just couldn't stop talking, they were finding out so much
about each other. Eventually the Digimon succumbed to sleep, but not the
Digi-Destined girls.
"Sora..." said Mimi.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think we'll ever get home?"
Sora paused and thought for a moment. "I don't know. I hope we do.
Why? What brought this up?"
"Well, I was just thinking that if we don't get home, we'll have to
pick boyfriends from the guys here," explained Mimi.
"Ug. I think I'd rather fight Devimon," said Sora. Both girls began
to giggle.
"Come on, the guys aren't that bad."
"Unless they're eating." More laughter. "Nah, you're right. They
guys are okay," Sora stated. Another silence. Both girls seemed to be
thinking about what to say next, each hoping the other would say the first
words. They waited, the silence becoming to much when they blurted out
together:
"If you had to pick a guy, who would it be?" They laughed again,
finally starting to feel tired but not wanting to stop their
conversation.
"You go first," said Sora.
"Me?" mused Mimi.
"Yeah, you brought it up."
"I don't know..."
"Come on."
"Well"
"Okay, here's what we'll do," Sora started. "You tell me who you
think I'd choose and I'll do the same for you. Then we'll tell each
other
about who we would choose."
"That sounds good," said Mimi. "I think that you would choose...
Tai."
"Tai? Are you kidding me?" snickered Sora, but not meaning any insult
to Tai. "Tai's all right, but I don't think I'd like him for a
boyfriend.
Now, I think that you would pick... Joe," she said with a smile.
"What?" exclaimed Mimi.
"No, Joe wouldn't be right for you," Sora said, rubbing her chin with
that same smile. "Now, Izzy would be right for you."
"Stop it!" cried Mimi, holding her hands to her chin.
Sora laughed at the distraught Mimi. "I'm just kidding. I really
think that you'd choose Matt."
"Matt? He is kinda cute, isn't he?" said Mimi.
"Kind of? Matt's gorgeous! And he's so nice. You see the way he
looks out for T.K. He's not afraid to show how he feels," Sora spoke, her
big eyes wavering in the moonlight. "If I was going to pick one of the
guys to be my boyfriend, it'd be Matt."
"Well, Tai would be my choice," said Mimi.
"Really? Why Tai?"
"'Cause he's strong and brave and he's, like, our leader."
"Tai? Our leader?" Sora was a little surprised by Mimi's statement,
then said, "Hey, I guess Tai is out leader. I never saw him like that
before, but I'd still pick Matt."
The girls sat in silence for some time, lost in their thoughts about
their respective choices for potential boyfriends. They chatted some more
about the guys and eventually decided to call it a night. Sora put some
more wood on the fire then crawled into her blanket. Mimi picked up the
sleeping Piyomon Palmon, placing Piyomon near Sora and bringing Palmon
over to her blanket. The Digimon snuggled into their friends as they fell
into a deep, peaceful slumber.
About and hour after sunrise Piyomon and Palmon awoke to find the
girls still in deep sleep. Not wanting to wake them, they quietly sneaked
off to see if the boys were up yet. The human guys were still sleeping
but the Digimon guys were just getting up too, except for T.K.'s Poyomon
who was still snuggled into the small boy.
"Hi," Agumon greeted quietly.
"Good morning," Piyomon and Palmon say in unison, which seemed a
little loud when compared to the silence. The six Digimon looked at the
sleeping children and moved off to the side and continued to talk in
whispers.
"How was your slumber party?" asked Gabumon.
"Very nice. We talked all night," said Palmon.
"You talked all night and you're still awake?" said Gomamon.
"No, silly. We didn't talk all night long, but we did talk for a long
time. Then we fell asleep," explained Piyomon. "How was your night?"
she then asked the other Digimon.
"It was fine," said Tentomon. "They boys went to sleep pretty quick
because they ate so much food."
"It sounds like you had a better time than we did," added Agumon.
"It's hard to talk when half of your friends are asleep."
"Say, I've got an idea," said Palmon.
"What is it?" asked Tentomon.
"Lets make breakfast for the kids!"
"That's a great idea," said Gabumon.
"Yeah," Gomamon put in.
"Then let's do it. It will be a nice surprise for them," Agumon said.
"Okay," Piyomon answered. "Gabumon, Tentomon, you come with us and
help Palmon and me carry Sora and Mimi over to where the boys are."
"And Gomamon and me will go and start breakfast," finished Agumon.
The Digimon separated and went to carry out their tasks. When
Gabumon, Piyomon, Palmon, and Tentomon had brought over Mimi and Sora,
Agumon had a good fire going and Gomamon was picking the food out of Joe's
bag. The children awakened to find a hot, but not an all too tasty, meal
awaiting them and everyone ate together. Then they packed up all their
stuff and headed off to continue their quest to save the Digi-World from
the evil Digimon.
