Veemon...Patamon...Veemon...Patamon...How can a cat choose?
Gatomon was pacing back and forth in the room that Tai and Kari share, trying to decide between them. But choosing who to love is sometimes hard.
At least Tai and Kari were off with their parents somewhere, so the place was perfect for some deep thinking. But it didn't make the decision any easier.
"Still trying to decide?" Agumon asked, walking in the room.
"It's so hard. They both have their good points, and I know that if I choose one, the other's heart will be shattered," Gatomon told him.
"You need to choose. You remember their last fight," Agumon said.
FLASHBACK
"You stay away from Gatomon, you overgrown bat-winged rat. She's mine," Veemon said.
"I'd rather be a rat than an overgrown blue lizard like you," Patamon said back. "And anyways, she barely knows you exist."
"The only reason she notices you is that you look like her lunch."
"You wanna step closer and say that?"
"Gladly."
Veemon aimed a punch at him. With a few flaps of his wings, Patamon floated above the punch, then fired a Boom Bubble.
The bubble hit dead on. Then Veemon got up, and hammered Patamon with a Vee Head Butt.
They soon were on the ground, clawing, scratching, and biting at each other. Gatomon watched from a short distance away, knowing that if she tried separating them, she'd get hurt as well.
END FLASHBACK
"I remember," Gatomon said. "but still, it's not an easy decision at all."
Then Gatomon walked out of the room and to the computer. She brought up the gate to the digital world and was glad to see it was open.
"I'm going to go to the digital world for a while," Gatomon said, grabbing Kari's Digivice.
"Have fun," Agumon said.
Gatomon nodded, then used the digivice to enter the digiworld.

Once she entered, she walked pretty much aimlessly, still trying to figure out who she should choose. Her wandering had her end up in a forest.
While in thought, she thought one of her ears picked up a sound. She stopped and looked around. After seeing nothing, she started to turn again.
Then she heard the creaking of a branch, like too much weight was being put on it.
"Okay, I know someone's there," Gatomon said, ready to battle if need be. "So wherever you are, come on out."
Then the creaking branch broke.
"Waaaah. Owwwww," a voice said.
Gatomon walked towards the sound, and saw a figure slowly getting up from the ground. He looked so much like Gatomon.
His fur was black instead of white. The tufts on the tail and ears were more of a grey. He had no tail ring and no gloves, but the claws on his paws still looked dangerous.
His big blue eyes were close to the size of Gatomon's own, though they were more of an oval shape rather than a circle.
"Sorry for spying on you. But you were so beautiful that I had to make sure you didn't get away," he said.
"What's your name?" Gatomon asked
What is the name of this new digimon? And will Gatomon finally be able to decide? Maybe the questions will be answered in the next installment of Shadow in the Light.
