Veemon limped down the streets. His ankle was slightly sprained, sending a jolt of pain every time he took a step. His fingers were bleeding too, from his slide down Epsilon's bio-dome home. He had gone to the school, and found no one there. Now he was on plan B. Wander around aimlessly until someone sees you, hopefully not one of the Council of Five's forces. He sniffed at the air, wishing he had Agumon's tracking abilities. His entire body wanted to devolve back to Demiveemon, but he fought it, knowing he could not digivolve without Davis around.
"Come on move it!" Veemon snapped to attention when he heard someone shouting. His nose might not be in Agumon's league, but his hearing was excellent, or at least he believed so. That was Kari's voice, coming from that amusement park. He began to run, but shouted in pain when he put all his weight on his sore ankle. He grimaced in pain, but continued running towards her voice. He came upon Kari, carrying the unconscious form of Armadillomon. Gatomon was next to her, carrying Agumon who was clutching his stomach. He ran up to the group, who were taking shelter in an abandoned carnival.
"Veemon!" Kari cried seeing the blue digimon limping towards her. "Are you hurt?"
"Just my pride." Veemon painfully smiled. "And my fingers, my ankle, and so on. Epsilon caught Davis, and I had to escape to find help. You would not believe who Epsilon is!"
Gatomon released her grip on Agumon, looking Veemon over. "Well, don't keep us in suspence, who is it?"
"It's…It's…" Veemon thought to himself, his recent memories becoming clouded for some reason. He rubbed his head, thinking hard. "Jeez, I must have hit my head or something when I landed. I'm having trouble remembering." That was odd, he remembered it was somebody he knew, someone they all should know. He and Davis went into Epsilon's castle because they got Jun's shirt. Lillymon was being held captive in the same cell he was when he was captured. How long were they in that cell? What did they talk about in that cell? Veemon strained to remember… They escaped thanks to Davis, and they confronted Epsilon on her throne. It was Jun sitting there. It must be Jun then! "It's Jun! She has Lillymon and Davis prisoner!" Even when he said it, it sounded wrong for some reason, but that's what he remembered. He pushed the thought from his head and looked over the party. "How about all of you? Are you all ok?"
Kari put Armadillomon on the ground, the mole digimon supporting an enormous bump on his head. "We ran into Alpha and Phantomon. Cody attacked Phantomon and, oh my god Cody!" Kari turned back towards the funhouse. "We've got to go get him!"
Agumon stopped Kari. He did not want to lose her twice. "You stay here, and watch Armadillomon, we can't leave him alone. Me and Gatomon will go get Cody."
"I'll go to!" Veemon leapt forward, and crumpled to the ground as his ankle collapsed underneath him. "Or maybe I'll stay here and keep Kari company."
"You do that." Gatomon bounded off in the direction of the funhouse. She motioned for Agumon to follow with her tail, the gold ring beckoning him. "Come on now, let's be quick!"
Agumon nodded. He didn't want to leave Kari alone, but she would not leave without her friend Cody. The sooner they rescued Cody, the sooner they could leave.
Veemon sighed as he watched Gatomon and Veemon disappear in the funhouse again. He had always had a thing for Gatomon, but from the way she causally dismissed him right now, it looks like she didn't have the same feelings towards him. He just wished he knew for sure. He looked over at Kari, who was making sure Armadillomon was comfortable. "Kari?" He asked.
"Yes Veemon?" Kari stood up.
"I um… don't know how to ask this, but do you know if Gatomon likes me?" Veemon thought that that could be worded better.
"Well, of course." Kari replied, thinking that was a strange question to ask.
"Are you sure, like, she and Patamon seem to hang out a lot, and they're both angels, and they've known each other a lot longer." Veemon went on.
"Oh I see…" Kari nodded. "We're talking about a different kind of 'like', aren't we?"
"Well, yeah. I mean, I don't know how to act around digi-girls. I've never even kissed one before, let alone asked one out." Veemon blushed when he said this, realizing he announced his feelings for Gatomon, to Kari, Gatomon's best friend.
Kari let out a giggle. "Well Veemon, it's not too hard. We've got a few minutes, so you can pretend I'm Gatomon for a bit." This was nice, it almost made Kari forget about what happened today.
"Ok sounds great." A confused look crossed Veemon's face. "Ummm… How do I do that?"
"It simple, just ask Gatomon if she'd like to go out dancing or something." Kari bent down.
"Ummm…another problem…. I don't know how to dance." Veemon blushed again.
"That's another problem we can fix." Kari got down on her knees. She grabbed Veemon's hand and placed it on her hip, and grabbed his other hand. "Ok, you're the guy, so you lead. Just take small steps, and I'll follow."
"Okkkkkk…" Veemon did as she instructed. Kari followed as best she could, but she was on her knees so she could be at a better level for him. "And one and two and…" Veemon took a big step, and put all his weight down on his sore ankle again. "Yearghhh!" Veemon's footing left him.
"Veemon, are you ok?" Kari asked, crawling over to Veemon.
"Yeah, I landed on my tail. It broke my fall." Veemon reached over and rubbed his sore tail. "I'll add the bruises to my collection."
"Let me see that ankle." Kari bent over. Veemon's ankle was a rather disgusting shade of purple. "Veemon! Why didn't you say something?"
"It seemed kind of pointless, I needed to warn you about Epsilon." Veemon rubbed his ankle. "But digimon heal fast, I should be fine." Veemon replied. "I was just worried about all of you. And Davis of course."
"That is very brave of you." Kari smiled. "And as for your question, no."
"N..no?" Veemon's lip quivvered.
"Not no she doesn't like you that way. No I don't know if she has a crush on you." Kari sat on the ground, wrapping her arms around her legs. "Gatomon is still rather secretive sometimes. She doesn't talk about her feelings much. That may be from when she worked for Myotismon. That doesn't mean she doesn't have any towards you."
"So what should I do?" Veemon sat down.
"Sometimes the simplest solution is the best." Kari replied.
"Huh?" Veemon gave her a confused look.
"Ask her." Kari instructed to the blue digimon. "Just ask her if she'd like to go on a picnic or something. Just the two of you."
"But... she might say no!" Veemon replied.
"Or she might say yes." Kari gave Veemon a smile. "It's amazing. You will face down digimon five times your size. You jumped off a skyscraper, and walked here on a hurt ankle. Yet you are terrified of girls."
"Well... Just one." Veemon blushed.
"If it means anything." Kari reached over and tapped Veemon's nose with her finger. "I think you and Gatomon would make a cute couple." Veemon turned purple at this comment. Kari looked over Veemon's head. "Speak of the devil."
Veemon looked behind him to see that Gatomon and Agumon had come running out of the funhouse, with the young boy Cody in tow. "Cody are you all right?"
Cody smiled and nodded. "Just fine."
"Don't you ever do something like that again!" Kari lectured as she hugged the boy. "You scared me half to death."
"I was never in any real danger." Cody smiled. "Good news is, Alpha's dead, killed by Delta. Alpha turned out to be Piedmon, and he tried to kill me. Delta saved my life by killing Alpha, then he attacked me."
"You stood up to Piedmon?" Armadillomon got off the ground finally awake after Phantomon's attack, stirred to conscious by the sound of Cody's voice. He rubbed a rather impressive bump on his head. "That's impressive for such a young-un. Patamon told us about what a bad mon he was. But what about that folk Delta?"
Cody brought his sword out and showed it to the crowd. "We don't have to worry about him. This was his sword."
"You took out Delta? That's great!" Agumon cheered. "But who was he?"
"It doesn't matter, he's not around anymore." Cody sheathed his sword. "He won't be bothering us." (Because now Cody and Delta are one in the same, and this was the faultless way to infiltrate his enemies, and while assuring victory for his side. The digidestined had a traitor in their midst, and they most likely wouldn't know until it was too late. Attack from within, that was the way to win. He smiled as he followed the group, as they exited the amusement park. And win we shall.)
"Come on move it!" Veemon snapped to attention when he heard someone shouting. His nose might not be in Agumon's league, but his hearing was excellent, or at least he believed so.
