Chapter 10 A Feast For A Tai
The digidestined trudged through the empty hot plateau, glaring at Tai.
"How could you forget to leave food for later?" Davis demanded.
"You've asked me that a million times. If you were a leader would you have remembered?" Tai asked in a dangerously low tone.
"Uh…" Davis stuttered as he thought carefully about it. "I don't think I would have, no."
"Good." Tai happily said and marched on. T.K mimicked Tai and pushed his nose in the air. Kari tried to hold back giggles.
"Stop it T.K!" She grinned. Tai spun around.
"What's wrong?" He demanded.
"Jeez Tai. Loosen up. We all make mistakes." Matt calmly remarked.
"Yeah. We can wait until we find a place to eat." Sora soothed.
"Where are we going to find a restaurant in this desert?" Joe panicked. Sora glared at him and indicated that he should shut up.
"You shouldn't worry. I'm not even hungry!" Mimi cried. A loud grumbling noise could be heard. Mimi blushed and tried to still her stomach.
The digidestined grew tired and soon all of them were starving. It was mid afternoon and the sun was at its peak.
"Tai? Are you sure we can't find…" Agumon was interrupted when a pretty woman in a bright pink dress appeared out of nowhere right in front of Tai.
"Hello digidestined!" She called to them.
"Who are you?" Tai asked.
"I'm Gennai's female counterpart, Gina." She explained.
"So…do you have any food?" Ken asked. She grinned and beckoned them inside a camouflaged cave.
"Wipe your flippers Gomamon." Joe joked and Gomamon proceeded to do so. The room that they were in was quite small and the digidestined could barely fit inside, but the cave was neat and decorative.
"Very…cosy." Sora commented.
"I don't often have visited such as big as you guys." Gina winked. She led them into another bigger room. "Have a seat. I'll be right back with the food." With a swish of her pink skirt, she was gone.
"There's not enough seats." Yolei said. Thee digidestined didn't have a seat.
"Kari and I can sit on a pillow." T.K offered and they disappeared into the other room to grab a pillow.
"In that case, I'll seat on a pillow too." Davis said before anyone else could offer. Tai noticed Yolei glaring at Davis. He shrugged. T.K and Kari returned with a gigantic dark blue pillow. It was big enough for T.K, Kari and their digimon. They settled themselves on the cold hard floor.
"Do you have enough room?" Kari asked.
"Yeah." T.K reassured. Tai could hardly think straight. He was so hungry and tired. All he could think about were large mounds of food lined up to enter his mouth.
"There's more to come, but here are a few plates." Gina suddenly reappeared with two large plates piled high with ham and tomato sandwiches, cheese sandwiches, salad sandwiches and peanut butter and jam sandwiches. Tai literally drooled at the sight of the food.
"Help yourselves. I'll be back with drinks." Gina disappeared again as quickly she had come.
"I think Tai should start first. He looks like he's in heaven." Matt smirked.
"I resent that, but thanks." Tai leaned over and picked out a variety of the sandwiches.
"How can he eat so much?" Yolei asked Mimi.
"That's only for starters, darl." Mimi reached out for a few salad sandwiches. Everyone grabbed a couple of sandwiches each. The digimon happily munched their way through one of the big mountains of sandwiches.
"Davis will become just like Tai!" Gatomon commented.
"Hey!" Davis exclaimed.
"In many ways, it's a good thing." Kari hurriedly said.
Tai started on his fifths and sixths while everyone watched in fascination as he shoved sandwiches in his mouth and washed them down with apple juice. He suddenly noticed them all staring at him.
"What?" He said with his mouthful.
"Nothing." They chimed in unison. They resumed their small talk between themselves.
"Davis? Any more weird information I should know about humans?" Veemon asked.
"Yeah. We humans actually have to change our clothes everyday. It's such a chore." Davis grinned.
"I think if I had to shed my coat everyday I would cry." Gatomon said.
"Well I'm glad you don't." Kari smiled.
"How is everyone?" Gina asked as she took away the dishes.
"Not hungry, but tired." Matt said.
"Well you guys should rest. Go left that way and then turn right. Go down the stairs and you'll find a big room with a few couches." Gina explained in a rush. The digidestined looked at each other burst out laughing.
"So does anyone remember the directions?" Tai asked. They wound themselves around Gina's maze of a cave and after a long time, they reached the room she had told them to go to.
"Us girls will sleep here." Mimi said as she pointed at a few couches. "We'll be safe from you horny guys." She grinned.
"We wouldn't do anything!" Matt protested. Sora giggled and followed her fellow feminine friends.
After many disputes and arguments, they all settled to sleep and rested their poor aching bodies.
Author's note: I'm sorry for the wait. It might be awhile before I update because school is starting soon. There are about four chapters to go. Thanks for reviewing! I'm always inspired by you.
