(A/N – It seems as though all the Takari writers muses went on strike this month. Mine are on Spring Break in Jamaica, and they conveniently left their cell phones behind. However, I was able to get in touch with one of them through his Blackberry, and managed to pound out this chapter with the future Digi-Destined! Hope you like!)
Hope, Light and Key Lime Pie – Chapter Six
"So, what do you guys want to do now?" Tamago asked as he ejected the DVD from the player.
"How about another movie?" Davis Jr. suggested. "I have Spiderman IV!"
Tatsuha shot a look at him. "Are you serious! Spiderman IV was terrible! D-2, Why would you bring it?"
"Because I knew nobody else had it!"
"That's probably because nobody liked it!" Tatsuha said, giving the brunette a shove.
"Hey! How about this?" Koumiko said, holding up a DVD case. "Hamtaro: The Baby Goat." Koumiko squealed. "I love this movie!"
"Oh, me too!" Karashi squealed "It's so kawaii! Don't you think that the baby goat was so cute when it was first born?"
The three boys groaned. "Aww, man! That's a girlie movie!" Tatsuha groaned. "Don't we have something else to watch?"
"It's either this or Spiderman IV." Karashi explained as she stuck the DVD in the player. "Besides, it's not that long and nothing good comes on TV until later anyway!"
"Come on guys, let's head into my room. We can play that new "Need for Speed" game you brought." Tamago said, padding back towards the room.
"Ooh! You brought 'Need for Speed'? Cool! I'm the king of that game!" Davis Jr. exclaimed as he followed Tamago.
"Ha! Yeah right!" Tatsuha said, as he rummaged through his backpack, tossing clothes around. "I know I got it somewhere in here…ah ha! Here it is!" he announced, producing a CD case from inside the bag.
"Come on, man! Let's load it up!" Tamago announced from his room.
"Yeah! Come get a lickin'!" Davis Jr. taunted.
At this, The young kid speed off into the bedroom with CD in hand.
"Boys are so dumb." Karashi said, pressing Play on the DVD player as the bedroom door closed.
"Yeah, they are truly the dumber of the two genders."
"Huh?"
"I heard someone say it on TV. It means boys are icky."
"Oh, okay."
"Hey! You can't do that!"
"Can and did! Not my fault you can't keep up with me, Tama!" Tatsuha cheered as his fingers worked the game controller.
"You're cheating, I know you are!" Tamago accused, as he watched his car fall farther and farther behind.
"Umm, your car is on fire, dude." Davis Jr. said, watching on as he padded around the bedroom.
"It's not on fire!" Tamago said, sticking out his lower lip. "It's just smoking a little bit. Haven't you ever seen smoke from a car before?"
"Uh, yeah. From the back end not from under the hood." Davis Jr. said, looking at a photograph setting on a dresser. "What is this a picture of, Tama?"
Tamago looked back at the picture, allowing his car on screen to drift a bit off the road and on the sidewalk. "Oh, that's the baby in my mommy's belly."
"Tama…"
"Oh, your mommy is going to have a baby, huh?" Davis Jr. asked, studying the picture.
"Tama…"
"Yeah! And only me and Karashi knows what's it going to be too!" Tamago said grinning with pride. "The doctor told us, but not mommy and daddy!"
"Wow! What is it, a boy or a girl?"
"Promise not to tell any one?"
"Tama…"
"I promise."
"Well, the doctor told me that the new baby was—"
"TAMAGOYAKI-SAMA!"
The young blonde turned around to the game, his eyes wide in horror. Davis continued to study the picture, squinting.
On the screen, Tamago's red Corvette was mowing down pedestrians along the sidewalk. Screams of panic and blaring car horns could be heard from the TV as the car continued it's unbridled kamikaze run down the pavement.
Tatsuha's car, on the other hand, was resting at the finish line, where hoards of bikini clad girls were jumping and cheering for the victorious blue Thunderbird.
"Why didn't you call me!" Tamago complained, bringing his car to a stop on the screen and dropping the controller on the carpeted floor.
"I did. You were talking to D-2 about your new baby--"
"Come on little goat, breathe!" the boys heard Karashi squeal from the living room.
"Awww, he's so cute!" Koumiko cooed, as the faint, but definite sound of a bleating goat could be heard.
"Sounds like their movie is almost over." Davis Jr. said, sitting the picture back down on the dresser.
"Yeah. We'll go back in and watch some TV" Tamago said, as he picked up the controller. "…Right after I get a rematch!"
To Be Continued...
(A/N - It seems as though after I finished this chapter, my muse with the Blackberry decided to turn it off, and all I got was his voicemail! But don't worry! I'm gonna get in touch with 'em one way or another and I'll finish this story! I'm committed to it!)
