Well this is chapter 2, I hope it's good. I still need some work at writing joined fics but I'm going to try.
Bgato: don't worry, you've got me to help.
Tak: thanks.
Chapter 2
Kari was on her way to the meeting with her friends. It had been so long since she had seen all of them together like this. Infact, she couldn't even remember last time it happened, but she did remember she was a lot happier than she was now. 'You think you know someone and then something comes up to make you change your mind. I should have been more open minded, 'cause it's not like it's the first time this sort of thing has happened' Kari thought as she continued to walk to where she was going to meet the group.
It was very rare that they had all gotten together for a meeting since they had spread out so much. Some had even got to different countries, but everyone had come together just for this meeting, which is the only reason why she was going-if it had been anything less than a full group meeting she would have stayed home with her son. The group hadn't changed much since they were younger, but as the saying goes look can be deceiving.
"Kari, over here!" called a women with long purple hair tied back in a ponytail who was sitting next to a tall man with short blonde hair.
"Yeah Kari, hurry up!" he called.
"Those contacts look really good on you," said Kari as she sat down next to the woman with long purple hair.
"Well, you know how I used to hate my glasses when I was younger," replied the purple-haired girl.
"So TK, how's the newest book going?" Kari asked the blonde haired man who was sitting the other side of the woman.
"It's going fine, Kari," said TK.
"We're just glad you came, Kari," said the women with purple hair.
"I wouldn't have missed this for the world, Yolei," said Kari.
"But we would have understood if you didn't want to come, with Takuya being sick and all," said Joe.
"Well we haven't been altogether for a long time, I couldn't just not turn up, especially as some of you came so far," said Kari softly.
"Hey, we could have waited," said Mimi.
"No, he's not so bad. Just a slight fever, my mother's looking after him," said Kari.
"Yeah, he's not as bad as some of the cases we've seen," said Davis as he put an arm around Ken.
"Sometimes it's upsetting to see what people do to each other," said Ken. Davis and Ken were now in the police. After being digidestined and saving digimon so much it was the only thing Davis was good at, so saving people instead seemed like a good choice.
"And I thought the reason Takuya always ate so much when we went out was because he was related to you," said Matt as he nudged Tai.
"Hey, I resent that. Anyway, we didn't call this meeting to talk about how much of a scumbag Kari's ex-husband was, so I know pronounce the 25th annual meeting of the digidestined to order," said Tai, somewhat formally.
"Tai, do you have to say that every time?" asked Sora.
"Hey, what's wrong with staying in touch with your inner child?" asked Tai defiantly.
"Tai, you don't need to be in touch with your inner child. You are your inner child. What you need to be in touch with is your outer adult," said Matt.
"Why is the whole world against me?" asked Tai.
"The world isn't against you, we just think that now you're an adult that maybe you should act just a bit more mature," said Joe.
"What! Since when? Digidestined meetings have never been about being mature or being an adult, they're about just being us," said Tai.
"Ok, whatever, I give, you can act any way you want, I give in," said Sora.
"Anyway, now that Takuya doesn't have a father he needs a male role model to look up to," said Tai, smiling.
"After seeing the way the last guy who had you as his role model acted, I don't think you're right for the job," said Kari carefully.
"Hey! Cheap shot," complained Davis.
"Don't let her get to you Davis, I think you turned out really well," said Ken softly as he ran his finger though Davis' hair to calm him down.
"Anyway, he's already acting enough like you for my liking. Ever since after his brother birthday he's been acting a lot like you, and those goggles now seem to be permanently glued to his head. He even sleeps in them, the only time he's not wearing them is when I take them off him at night," said Kari.
"Oh, come on Kari, lighten up a bit, so what if he acts like me? It's not like he's in any danger or anything?" said Tai.
"It's nice to know that people who aren't digidestined can wear goggles," said Davis, now smiling.
"I wouldn't go there if I were you, Kouji has some pretty weird clothes habits as well," replied Kari.
"Here we go again," TK whispered to Yolei.
"Yeah, they seem to find anything to fight over. This time it's their children's clothing and its either going to break out into a full out fist fight with Davis being able to pin Kari from all his training, or we have to change the subject fast," Yolei whispered back.
"It's not just them, Zoë acts weird when it comes to her clothes as well. A few weeks ago she went out-can't remember why at the moment-in a very lovely outfit mostly in purple but with a blue and white t-shirt, and then she came back and won't part with her hat at all, she wears it all the time even if it doesn't go with the rest of what she's wearing. At least it goes with her blonde hair. She gets that from you, TK," said Yolei as she smiled at her husband.
"I saw Kouji again this morning, he came by to walk with Takuya to school but I had to send him away 'cause Takuya wasn't going to school today. I often wondered how they became friends," said Kari thoughtfully.
"I sometimes wonder how they became friends, they seem so different, but I didn't want to ask. I was just happy that Kouji had finally made some friends," said Ken softly.
"Come on Ken, you know getting depressed doesn't get you anywhere," said Davis just as softly as he pulled Ken close to him.
"But Ken's right, Kouji really does seem to be different. A few weeks ago he wouldn't even give me the time of day, I think he used to see me as trying to take over the place of a mother he didn't even remember, like I was trying to make his life miserable, but then he came back one day and he was all smiles and happiness. He seems so much happier ever since he meet Takuya. I got quite a shock when I found out it was him, Kouji always talked about his new friend, about how they get on so well and how much fun they have, and then when he came over it really was very shocking. He couldn't stand me but yet was getting on really well with someone who had a similar personally as me. Weird world we live in, isn't it," said Davis in an almost serious tone.
"I stopped thinking about how weird the world was when it turned out that one of my best friends was a talking bird," said Sora.
"Sometimes I wonder if they're keeping something from us. I understand the others, they're all roughly the same ages and probably go to the same school or ones near by, but Tommy is so much younger than all the others, I really can't see how they became friends. He said that Takuya saved him from some bullies and other people who wanted to hurt him…never did understand that last bit," said Joe as he pushed his glasses back up.
"But in all fairness we are keeping something from them as well," said Izzy.
"But even if they had some connection to the digiworld, why wouldn't they have told us about it? They know that we know about it, so why not tell us?" asked Joe.
"Probably for the same reason why we didn't tell our parents even after they knew about the digiworld," answered Tai.
"Because if they knew what we were doing they would get worried and very over protective, and it felt like if they knew everything it would take away the specialness of the digiworld. It was nice to know that only we knew about the digiworld, and if every one else knew then it wouldn't be as special," said Kari, adding in her own thoughts.

"So how are we going to go about this? We have to plan it, otherwise there's no point doing it," asked the first figure, looking at the others in the group.
"Yes, planning is a must for this, but also we have to remember that united they are strong but divided they are weak," said the second figure.
"We must attack them when they're acting just like children, when they're with someone they trust. That is when they are at their weakest," said the third figure.
"But how are they weak when they're with someone they trust?" asked the last figure in the group.
"Because when they're with someone they trust their guard is down," answered the third figure.
"But how does that help us?" asked the first figure.
"It helps us because we'll be the ones that they trust," said the third figure.
