Chapter 2: Kari and Gatomon come calling
After a few days had passed; Wizardmon became used to having a baby around the house. It wasn't easy raising a hybrid, but it was definately worth it. She was so darn kawaii when she was asleep at the end of the day.
While Hikaru was asleep in the nursery he had set up, he would try to think of a love letter to send to Gatomon. But, he couldn't get the nerve up to send it. He thought the situation was helpless, so he wound up sending it to Izzy by mistake. When he realized what had happened he groaned, "Oh crap! There goes my love life." Just then, he heard Hikaru fuss, so he went to feed her.
Izzy read the email, and smiled to himself, before emailing Kari, telling them that an old friend wanted to meet them for lunch the next day.
Meanwhile, Kari and Gatomon were playing the new Sailor Moon online RPG, when the new mail icon beeped. "Open it! It might be from TK," Gatomon teased, as a blushing Kari opened the message. It said,
"Hey Kari!
Got a message from the Digital World. An old friend wants to see you again for lunch tomorrow.
Izzy
PS. Tell Tai to stop chasing Sora. She's in love with Jyou, and nothing is going to change that."
Kari read over the email, and asked Gatomon, "An old friend?" At that mention, Gatomon blushed beet red! Kari giggled, "It's Wizardmon, isn't it?" Gatomon blushed deeply, "Well... um... I never...I mean..." Kari smiled, "It's all right, Gatomon. I know." Gatomon let out a sigh of relief, and smiled at Kari, "Is how I feel about Wizardmon how you feel for TK?" Kari smiled, "Yes, it is."
The next day, Kari and Gatomon left a note saying that they were having lunch in the Digital World. This was fine with Tai, because he was going to help TK with a science project, and that her parents were away for the week.
After Tai left, Kari pulled out her pink digivice, and along with Gatomon, she faced the computer screen, and yelled, "Digiport Open!" The screen glowed, and Kari and Gatomon were teleported to the Digital World.
A few seconds later, they were both on File Island. Kari smiled, it was good being back. School had kept her away for so long, as had her budding relationship with TK-kun. Gatomon breathed in the fresh air, which was nice, considering there was alot of pollution in the air back in Japan.
Since they didn't know where Wizardmon was, they decided to ask around Primary Village. When they arrived, Elecmon greeted them, "Hey Kari, Gatomon! What brings you here?" Gatomon was blushing too much to say anything, so Kari told him, "We're supposed to be having lunch with Wizardmon today. Do you know where he is? Elecmon nodded, "I sure do. There is a temple a few minutes from here. That's where he is." Kari thanked him, and off they went.
Meanwhile, Wizardmon had just finished setting up lunch. There was fresh sushi, beef teriyaki, and ramen noodles. Hikaru was down for a nap, and thankfully would wake up later for him to introduce her to Kari and Gatomon. He sweatdropped, this was his first date, and he did not want to ruin it.
Meanwhile, Kari and Gatomon had just arrived, and were walking through the front gate. Kari was wearing a pink blouse and yellow skirt, with sandals. The front yard had several cherry trees, and a traditional koi pond.
Just then, Wizardmon appeared from at the front door. He appeared flushed in the face upon seeing Gatomon again. Kari waved, "Good afternoon, Wizardmon!" Wizardmon ran out to meet them, and bowed politely, "Afternoon, Kari, Gatomon." He then kissed Gatomon's paw, making her blush. Kari giggled at the sight. Wizardmon sweatdropped, and commented, "Well, come on in. Don't want the ramen to get cold."
Lunch was served out back on the patio. They spoke of old times, and what had been happening. Wizardmon wasn't surprised to hear that TK and Kari were dating. "You two are compatible together because you grew up together, and you genuinely care for each other. As for Tai, there's a girl out there for him somewhere." Kari nodded, and noticed the Gatomon and Wizardmon were sitting closer to other than they had been earlier. Kari giggled, and then asked, "May I be excused for a moment?" Wizardmon nodded, and Kari left. What she really wanted to do was give the lovebirds a few minutes to themselves, and to look around.
While Kari was looking around, she noticed a door was partially opened. Looking inside, she noticed a cradle, and inside was a baby catgirl, with red hair and cream colored ears and a tail. Kari felt her heart melt, and couldn't resist holding the little girl. She was so small, probably at least a week old. Kari gently cradled Hikaru in her arms, and sang a soft lullaby.
Meanwhile, Wizardmon and Gatomon had become aware of their situation, and were blushing, not daring to confess their love for the other. Wizardmon decided to make the first move. Clearing his throat, he said, "Um... Gatomon?" "Yes," Gatomon replied, starring at the object of her affection. Wizardmon was clearly flustered, and replied, "Well I... um... oh what the hey! I love you!" With that, he quickly kissed her, leaving a stunned Gatomon. Before she had time to kiss him back, Kari reappeared, holding Hikaru.
Gatomon glanced at the hybrid, "Who's the baby?" Wizardmon glanced at Kari, who nodded at him. He turned to Gatomon, "Her name is Hikaru, and she's a hybrid I'm raising, which is not a one digimon job. Gatomon, will you marry me?" Gatomon cried happily, "Of course I will!" Then, she kissed him back, before turning to Hikaru, "Hi there, Hikaru."
Kari smiled at the couple, "So, when's the wedding?" The couple exchanged a glance, and said "August." Kari laughed, and congratulated the couple, before she and Gatomon headed back to Japan.
