We were both silent for a long time. "Uh…I'm sorry about my Aunty Iris…she's sort of nosy and her Great Grandmother was a match maker and she's always wanted to be one but instead she's a house Mom." Megumi explained, looking down at her shoes.

"It's ok. I don't mind." I replied, also looking down at my shoes, we occasionally exchanged glances at each other. It seemed like forever! I wondered if there really was going to be a firework show! Then there was a rumbling sound that sounded like it was far away and fireworks burst from the sky in red and blue and yellow and orange…. "Wow, they're beautiful!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah…." Megumi replied and we both leaned on the porch railing. Out of accident, our hands accidentally touched. Or I tried to make it look like an accident, for a while we both blushed and stared at our hands.

Then out of the blue, we kissed. And it wasn't on the cheek either; it was a long one on the lips, when we released we both blushed like we never had before!

"Megumi, Tommy, the fireworks are over. You can come inside now!" Mrs. Johnson opened the sliding doors and beckoned us to come in.

Then there was an explosion where the fireworks came from and a huge roaring sound, and there was the same huge Surenmon from before! Then…I remembered that we hadn't finished him off last time!

"Tommy!" JP whispered and dragged me off. I heard Megumi turn to tell me something but she was surprised to see me gone. "We gotta go."

"But what about the Johnson's. There going to be suspicious!" I said nervously.

"It's worth the sake of a life." JP sighed and we both transformed in bushed and I slid on ice while Beetlemon flew.

(Kai)

I had just purchased head-ache medicine. It hurt like hell and my stomach was doing somersaults like it was in the Olympics!

Then there was a roar from nearby where the fireworks had been. I turned wide-eyes. There was the giant Surenmon.! No body was looking so I went into an alley and transformed. The transformation was painful because I was so weak. I contacted my friends.

"In case you didn't leave yourselves reminder notes, you didn't exactly finish off the Surenomon!" I screamed into the Detector.

"We heard ya already!" Takuya said hurriedly and stressfully.

"THEN GIT THE HELL OVER HERE!" I was already in a bad mood and this idiot is just playing with my nerves!

"Cherokeemon!" I sharply turned around, a nasty look still on my face. Kumamon was waving at me, smiling, naïve to the massive green goob flying at him.

"Kumamon!" I screamed, practically throwing an energy shield around him.

"Ah?" Kumamon looked surprised when he ran into the energy shield, then he looked behind him and noticed the green goob that had just hit him. I released him from the bubble-like shield and he plopped on the ground. "Gee, thanks Cherokeemon. I owe you a bundle."

"Don't we all?" I murmured and got ready to throw an energy ball at Surenomon. My attacks were especially weak because I had a headache and my element was mind energy and also that I was physically weak made my attacks more than half as weak! I recoiled in pain as a thrust an energy ball at him.

"You take a rest Cherokeemon. If Surenomon gets you he'll take your spirit!" Kumamon said, beckoning me back in the alley to transform back, but there was no way I was going to do that now.

"If I'm going to rest, you better go help Beetlemon…NOW!"

Kumamon looked from me to Beetlemon and understood my meaning. I would be alright as long as they kept Surenomon distracted. But Beetlemon up there was struggling.

"You rang?" Agunimon asked with Kazemon and Lowemon at his side.

"GET UP THERE AND HELP THEM NOW! AND WHERE THE HELL IS KOJI!"

"He still can't transform." Lowemon said sadly.

I groaned in pain and clutched my head.

"Hey Cherokeemon are you--"

"I'M FINE, GO FIGHT NOW!" I roared and thrust my arm at the injured Kumamon and Beetlemon lying on the ground, recovering from the body slam they had received from Surenomon. Their fractal code was already in a ring around them! They hadn't realized the others were here and hadn't transformed back!

"Hurricane Wave!"

"Pyro Darts!"

"Shadow Meteor!"

"Not so fast digi-losers!" Myotismon and Lucimon's voice once again came from the Surenomon.

"It's them…" I muttered to myself.

"Ngh…." JP had recovered and transformed back into his human form.

"No one saw us…right?" Tommy asked.

"Of course everyone saw you. Especially when WE'RE SURROUNDED BY A RING OF FIRE!" I roared out again.

"Sheesh. Sorry…." JP said, presuming to laying on the asphault. They must have been drained of their energy.

But I still had energy. I was still Cherokeemon and I could still fight.

"ENERGY—" I thrust a gigantic energy ball, half it's size at Surenomon and he flopped down on he road, causing a short earthquake.

I immediately grew weak and my fractal code surrounded me I could still see Myotismon and Lucimon's shadow in the fire but they disappeared and as soon as I recovered, I took Surenomon's fractal code. "Fractal code—digitize." Then I transformed back and fell right back on my back.

"Kai!" Kazemon flew to my side.

"We can attend to Kai later; we need to wake up Kumamon to put out this fire!"
