Chapter 32

He wakes and looks around. He remembers walking into the kitchen and eating food. Then everything kind of gets confusing after that. He yawns and blinks as he notices TK. It had to be TK for the feet look like TK's.

"What happened?" He asks as he sits up. "You don't remember?" TK asks in a gruff voice. He nods his head at this and walks over to the kitchen to get a drink. "You acted like a puppy or a kitten. You were playing with Revmon on all fours." TK informs him. He blinks at this and brings down his glass. "You're kidding! Why did I do that?" He asks. "You mentioned catnip." TK informs him. He blinks at this. He does remember this really odd smell. "So, it was the catnip?" He asks. TK nods at this. He sighs and gulps down his water. He then refills the glass.

He walks over to the couch and asks, "Where did Revmon go then?" "Out to get more vegetables and fruit. Turns out, I'm a herbivore." TK says. He studies TK and could believe it. He's omnivorous though; he did have an apple with breakfast. He sighs as he sits down. He asks, "Just how strong are you?" "Don't have a clue." TK says. He nods at this and turns on the TV. They find a movie on called Brave Heart. They're in luck, its just starting. He lends back and just watches the movie, hoping his headache will disappear.

She sighs as she looks around for TK. Tai and her were the first ones here. Soon Ken, Izzy, and Joe arrived, Izzy dressed up as a wizard while Joe as a monk. Ken came dressed as Goth. Then Davis arrives in his knight costume. Soon Yolei and Cody appear in their costumes. "Isn't TK with you guys?" She asks them. "I think he's with Jager." Yolei tells her. She sighs; she hasn't seen TK in almost two days now.

'He's been acting weird lately. I wonder why.' She thinks as Sora and Mimi appear. Sora's dressed as punk and Mimi as a fairy, complete with flapping wings. "Hi everybody!" Mimi says. "Hey Mimi." Everyone says together.

Soon they spy someone coming their way. As the person draws closer, it turns out to be Matt. "What are you suppose to be?" Tai asks Matt. "I'm a Minotaur." Matt answers. She studies his costume and Joe then says, "I thought you were a devil." "Devils are red and I'm brown." Matt says. "Good try at originality, Matt." Sora says. Matt sighs and counts the group. "Aren't we missing two?" Matt asks. "Jager and TK haven't shown up yet." Cody says. She nods and continues to look around.

Soon they spot three figures walking towards them. Only they didn't look too human. As they draw closer, they see Revmon as one of the figures. One almost looks to be like Matt, but with a pair of ram horns and spiral horn. That one is the taller of the two and very strong looking. The other looks to be some cross between a canine and feline. If it wasn't for the fact that Revmon is walking with them, they wouldn't have thought that they were Jager and TK.

"Hey little bro." Matt says as he walks over to the small of the two. "Sorry Matt, but I'm Jager." That one says. They all turn to the large one and TK says, "Hey." "I thought you were going as a prince!" She says. "I didn't tell anyone what I was going as. You guys just guessed. But I wasn't planning on showing up looking like this." He tells them. Both of the pair gives Revmon a pointed look. "I said I was sorry! I know I should have mentioned it, but I it was dispelled when I deleted Lilithmon!" Revmon says.

They blink at that and they look at Jager for an explanation. "A mega level Digimon by the name of Lilithmon managed to caste a spell. The embodiment of the spell glazed my right hand. Since I don't age, the spell lay dormant. But since TK and I are now connected, it activated. It'll go away by the 1st." Jager tells him. "And Revmon never told you about this?" Matt asks. "I didn't want him to worry about it. I don't get how she controlled him when we encountered her and I was also busy with a pair of Weedmon. I tried to keep her from having her way with him." Revmon grumbles.

"This sounds like a really interesting story, but I think we should save it for another day. So lets go party!" Tai says. They soon follow after their fearless leader. She walks with TK as Jager and Revmon move over with Joe. "So, this is why you were acting weird lately?" She asks. "Yes. First my eyes changed colour and then I grew a tail as my hair colour changed too. Then my feet lost two toes and began to grow larger." TK says. She looks down at his feet and surprised to find three toes with hooves on each foot. "That's different." She says. "Very." TK answers. "Sorry if I'm ranting a bit, but I'm not thinking like I usually do. Jager says that it's because our brains have also changed too. Thinking patterns and all." TK adds. She nods, guessing that something like that might be going on.

"So, did Jager do anything different the usual?" She asks after walking for five minutes. "He got hyper from catnip." TK tells her. "No way!" She says. "Yes way. It was funny to watch. He also doesn't remember a thing during that time either." TK says. "Tell me more." She says.

(---------------------------------------Jager-----------------------------------------)

He sighs as he gets the beginnings of a headache from the loud music. He could tell that it didn't seem to bother TK or Revmon though. He sighs and looks around for the others that weren't dancing.

He spots Sora with Tai and Matt, Mimi chatting it up with Yolei, and Cody and Ken talking with Izzy. He knows that Joe is with Sharon, the one he meet at that Halloween party was like four years ago. Surprisingly, they like to have Halloween together since then. He was happy for Joe, in time, the two might even start dating.

He then looks at the ones on the dance floor. TK and Kari were dancing with each other, Revmon is in a group of kids about the ages of six and eight, Davis had found a dance partner, and Joe and Sharon were dancing too. He had his share of dance partner, surprisingly enough. A total of eight and it's now getting close to 10:00 pm.

He soon notices that few people realize this fact or the parents of the kids might have left two hours ago. He looks amused as not one of the people around here seem to notice the time. He sits at the table, looking around him.

He hears something behind him and turns to find Guilmon X behind him. "Fanglongmon let you come here?" He asks the red Digimon. "Yip. Looks like fun." Guilmon X says. He nods in agreement with that. "Revmon's over with the kids." He says to the X Digimon. "Thank you. See you later." Guilmon X says as he head to where Revmon is. He just grins and decides to watch what happens next.

He wakes in his own bed and smiles as he remembers last night's events. It took the Digidestine a good thirty minutes to figure out that Guilmon X was on the dance floor. Despite their best effort, Guilmon X remained until 11:30, when the party came to an end. Then without being near a computer, Guilmon X vanished.

He didn't tell anyone about how or why Guilmon X was there, mostly because they never asked him about the virus. It was probably the first Halloween prank that Fanglongmon ever did and he like that. He has already found that Fanglongmon was more social then the other four. He's been exchanging E-mails through Gennai to Fanglongmon.

He gets up and looks himself over in the mirror. Nothings changed and he then leaves the room. He finds TK making breakfast and says, "Hey TK." "Morning, little bro." TK says. He snorts at the 'little' part. "We're going swimming this Saturday. I don't care who comes, but we're going swimming!" He informs his 'big' brother. TK gulps at this, for when they went together, he usually keeps them in the pool for hours on end. He claims to help build TK's slender, but muscular form. He knows it works for him.

TK grumbles at this, he knows that TK doesn't might that part; it's the girls hitting on him that turns him off. They usually go swimming together every six months, but now he decided that for that 'little' brother commented he needed a way to keep TK from using it again. He doesn't mind that TK told that story about him and the catnip. Plus he just needs something to make him feel exhausted and swimming does that very well.

Soon they began to eat and Revmon joins them too. They soon finish off the food and they then start on their homework. He finishes before TK and heads for the computer to play a game. It's an American game called StarCraft and it has these three races to play. He finds it entertaining to play for there was a story to it.

(-----------------------------------------TK-----------------------------------------)

He tried to get Matt to come, but his older brother refused on the ground that he didn't want to be eyed like a hunk of meat. He talked Kari into coming with ease. When Mimi heard about it, she talked with Yolei and Sora. Both were happy to come same as Davis and Tai. Izzy and Joe were busy and Cody said maybe. Ken had soccer practice.

He sighs as he looks around the pool. He finds Jager speaking with Tai. He wonders just what they're talking about, but then figures that it might be about Kari and him. He looks for the girls and soon spies Kari's slender form. He waves when she turns to him. She waves back too.

He turns to see if Jager has finished talking with Tai and finds that his 'twin' was on his way over. "Ready?" Jager asks him. He smiles and nods. They head for the diving board. He goes first and does a back flip. Jager then does drills into the water. Then when he's about to go for his second dive, Davis steps up. He watches with interest as Davis walks onto the board. Then Davis jumps off, Davis belly flops. He flinches in sympathy pain.

Jager and him dive for a good hour before just swimming around the pool. Then after the others stop to relax, they start a game of volleyball. They played this for a good thirty minutes before their friends take another break. Between Jager and him, they usually see who can out last each other. It started when he was ten and thought that he could out last Jager in the pool without taking breaks. Ever since then, he's been trying harder and harder to last longer each time. He even goes swimming every month between the times with Jager. He's been getting a better work out then if he pumped weights or ran.

Its 5:52 pm when Kari swam over to him. "Want to leave? I think we can leave while Tai's flirting with Sora." He smiles at this and looks over at Jager. He waves Jager over and when his brother appears, "I'm going with Kari, ok?" Jager smiles and says, "Good luck then. Also, Kari, keep him from falling over, ok?" Soon they get out of the pool, they split up.

They'll be meetings at the entrance. He soon finishes up with his shower and then dries off.
