In all his brilliance, Davis lit a string of firecrackers and tossed them next to Hotaru and Izzy who were talking about computer advancements with Ken and Willis. As the firecrackers went off, Hotaru shrieked and jumped about a mile in the air. Izzy ended up catching her and fell off the back off the log he had been seating on. Davis couldn't help but crack up. He was soon tackled by Kurimon and Kurumon, getting bounced on and bitten as well as berated. None of the other DigiDestined had to interfere with his punishment-Hotaru's Digimon had that area well covered.

Izzy helped Hotaru to her feet and then rescued his laptop. Ken decided to chew out his DNA partner, dragging him away from the yinyang duet who were held back by Kokomon and Terriermon. Hotaru rescued Willis's Digimon from her digital partners and pulled out snacks to keep them occupied. Hotaru sighed and sat on the same log as Izzy with a slight plop.

"I've got to get these two leashes or something." She muttered as Izzy smiled at her semi misery. "It doesn't help I'm a push over. God, I'm pathetic."

Kurumon was munching on Goldfish crackers while Kurimon sucked down a soda in a kiddy sports bottle. Izzy looked at the girl with a smile and patted her shoulder.

"They're younger than Uppamon, Poamon and DeviVeemon so they're a little protective. And it probably isn't a good idea to feed them so much sugar." Izzy told her getting a laugh.

"I actually don't give them sugar a lot. It's a special occasion so I thought 'what the hell' and packed snacks I don't usually give them." Hotaru watched her twins start sharing with the other Digimon. "I suppose it's not a good idea after all."

A shadow fell over Hotaru and Izzy making them look up. A blush came across her cheeks. "You know, for a first time 'mother', you're doing pretty well." Matt sat down next to her. "They don't crave the stuff so you're doing excellently well with their nutrition. It's just a little hard for you because you're really sweet."

"Hotaru! Kurimon stole my Goldfish baggie!"

"Only 'cuz you stole my soda bottle, Kurumon!"

"Girls, please!" Hotaru told them worn out. "I don't have the emotional compacity to deal with this right now."

Both her digimon hopped over to her. They gave her big sad eyes. Hotaru looked at them and flopped backwards.

"I can't handle this right now! First it's Kaori Knight then Mummymon and now you two! You both know I hate it when you gang up on me like this!"

Matt and Izzy looked at each other a little concerned.
