"Alright I'll tell you," Gatomon said, "As you know," she starts.
Flashback
"I'm not trying to be nosy or anything," Patamon said, "But what was Kari trying to say when you covered her mouth on the ride?"
"I guess there is no point in not telling you now," Gatomon said nervously and then thinks of how to tell him.
"So what is it?" Patamon asked.
"Give me a moment," Gatomon said, "I'm not exactly sure how to start at the moment."
"It's ok," Patamon said, "You can take as long as you need to."
"Thanks Patamon," Gatomon said, "Though I think I'm ready to tell you anyways. The thing is that," she starts and then stops.
"Well what is it," Patamon asked, 'Is she starting to blush?' he thinks noticing Gatomon's cheeks turning a light red color.
'Why am I so nervous to tell him,' Gatomon thinks as she blushes.
'I might be here for awhile,' Patamon thinks, 'Though I don't mid since I'm with Gatomon.'
Gatomon takes a deep breath and sighs, "The thing is Patamon I have had feelings for you for awhile," she said, "But at first I wasn't sure exactly what those feelings were."
"Uh ok," Patamon said not sure what exactly Gatomon means but has an idea with how she reacted to Kari tried to say while on the ride.
'Why am I having so much trouble telling Patamon,' Gatomon thinks, 'I've never had this much trouble expressing my feelings before, but then again I never tried to tell anyone except Kari about these ones.' She turns to look Patamon in the face, "What I'm trying to say is that I see you in a different way from Veemon," Gatomon said and mentally slaps herself when she sees the disappointed look that on Patamon's face.
Before Gatomon could continue, "So are you saying that I'm just a friend," Patamon asked in a disappointed tone.
"No that's not it," Gatomon said, "I mean that I see Veemon only as a friend, a blundering idiot at times but a friend." Gatomon then turns away from Patamon for a moment, 'Stupid,' she thinks, 'Why the hell did I use Veemon as an example?'
"Oh I should let you continue then," Patamon said feeling some what relieved.
"Truthfully I'm not sure how to put my feelings for you into words Patamon," Gatomon sighs, "I had no clue that it would be this hard to tell you."
"Well try taking a deep breath and calming yourself," Patamon said, "Maybe that will help and I'll stay here as long as it takes for you to say what you want to."
"Thanks Patamon," Gatomon said as she's smiling, "You're so sweet, I guess that is why I fell in love with you."
'Did she just say she loves me,' Patamon thinks.
"Uh are you ok Patamon," Gatomon asked seeing the look of surprise on his face.
"Y-yeah I'm fine," Patamon said, "Was that what you have been trying to tell me?"
Gatomon realizing what she said blushes even more, "That is w-what I had been trying t-to say the entire time," she stuttered, "I have had these feelings for you for a long time now and I wasn't sure how you would react. At first I saw you as a friend but at some point it developed further into love and I'm not sure exactly when my feelings became like that for you Patamon."
For a few moments Patamon just sits there taking all this in causing Gatomon to wonder what's going on in his mind, before she can do or say anything else Patamon grabs Gatomon in a hug and kisses her on the lips. A few minutes later he ends the kiss, "Gatomon I love you too," he said causing her to blush even more, "I have since the moment I first saw you."
End Flashback
"And then he kissed me on the lips," Gatomon said, "After he broke the kiss he told me he loves me as well."
"Took you long enough to tell him Gatomon," Kari said, "And congrats on the kiss from Patamon."
"Thanks Kari," Gatomon said blushing from embarrassment for telling Kari.
"Though you did kind of use the wrong examples in some places from what you said," Kari said, "It's a good thing you caught yourself."
Meanwhile Jeri sits next to Henry. He causes a small smile to form on her face as she looks around his room. "So do these wings work?" Jeri asked.
"I never tried," Henry said, "Though the courtyard outside of Takato and Rika's rooms would be the best place."
"I want to meet all those gatomons," Suzy said.
"I want to see if one of them is an old friend," Lopmon said.
Meanwhile, a group of gatomons sit around Renamon's eggs. "I'm sure they will be cute," one said.
"Yeah they will be," Kara said, "Especially with their mother being Renamon who's a beautiful digimon."
"You have a good point there Kara," another gatomon said.
"What I wonder is why I haven't seen any other Guilmons before meeting Takato's partner," the first gatomon said.
"Well from what Guilmon told me awhile back is that Takato somehow created him from a drawing he did," Kara said, "So at the moment he's the only one of his kind I guess."
"He must be lonely," one gatomon said.
Meanwhile, Henry, Jeri and their digimon stop when they see Rika and Takato walking next to each other. Terriermon is about to yell something but Renamon covers his mouth. "Don't say a thing, they're going on a date," she said.
"That's great," Jeri said.
"We were going to their place to see if these wings work," Henry said, "Do you think they would mind?"
"I don't think so," Guilmon said.
"Well we're off," Henry said.
"We'll help them keep an eye out for Ryo," Lopmon said as she grabs Terriermon.
"I maybe rude but I don't like to spy," Terriermon said.
"We may end up hiding in a dark place alone," Lopmon said, "You never know what happen there."
"Let's go," Terriermon said.
"Looks like Terriermon does really like Lopmon," Jeri said.
"Yeah he does," Henry said, "He seems to get upset when Lopmon says some of the things they have done was just things between friends."
"What kind of things are those?" Jeri asked.
"Well from what I have heard them arguing about Terriermon has taken Lopmon out to eat and she tries to say those are things friends do," Henry said, "When I think he meant it as much more."
"What I think is that Lopmon either doesn't realize it or is playing hard to get," Suzy said, "But I really never got to know her that well so I can't be sure."
Kari sat on Gatomon's lap. She turn from the fight on the screen to Gatomon. "Your ears their different.
"They feel different as well," Gatomon said.
"Oh I'm thinking of pulling a prank on Tai before this wears off on me," Kari said, "If you are back to normal when I decide to do it want to join in?"
"Sure what are you planning," Gatomon asked.
"Well I already started discussing it with some of the other gatomons," Kari said, "What I'm planning on doing is getting some of the gatomons and BlackGatomon to de-digivolve into their rookie stages if they are salamons at that level and have them all thinking the same thing when Tai tries to read all of our minds."
"Sounds like it might work," Gatomon said, "What are you and the others going to be thinking?"
"Either about playing games or about wanting food," Kari said grinning, "Most of them think about that half the time from what I learned when I talked to Tai before going on that ride the other day."
"You were thinking about doing something like this before then," Gatomon asked.
"No I was just curious about what they are thinking most of the time," Kari said, "I had no clue this would happen until it did."
"We need to keep this hidden from Tai," Gatomon said.
"Right," Kari said, "Look their Henry and Jeri."
"So many gatomons," Suzy said, "I'm sure I can learn about being a gatomon here."
"So what brings you here?" Kari asked from her Gatomon's arms.
"Since we're stuck in these forms I thought that we should see if these wings can be used," Henry said.
"I figured you would have tried to see if they actually can be used to fly before now," Tai said, "Especially with how long you have been like this."
"Well because of the other stuff that has been happening I really never got the chance," Henry said, "And here seems like the best place to actually try them out."
"Just be careful while you do so then," Kari said, "We don't want to see you getting hurt at all."
"Looks like Kari has a crush," Tai said teasingly.
"No I don't Tai," Kari said, "I just don't like seeing people getting hurt, especially not friends and you know that."
'Tai's a little different then I thought he would be in real life,' Henry thinks, 'I figured he would be a little more mature than this, oh well I guess I was wrong.' He then responds to Kari, "Of course we'll be careful," he said.
"You only seen me for a small portion of my life," Tai said, "And those are under important moments. I'm off to find Biyomon. I'm sure she can help you two."
"Let starts by flapping your wings," Julie said.
"Then get off my back," Jeri said.
"No way I want to fly too," Julie said.
"Yea," Julie's gabumon said.
"I'm back," Tai said as he's carrying Biyomon.
"You want to fly well lets start," the pink bird said.
'This might be a little awkward,' both Jeri and Henry think.
'Hmm this will be an interesting day watching these two learn to fly,' Tai thinks.
"Julie will you get off my back," Jeri said.
"I'm not getting off," Julie said.
'Fine if Julie won't get off willingly I'll figure a way to get her off,' Jeri thinks getting really annoyed with her friend.
"Lets start by flapping you're wings," Biyomon said, "then we'll get you hovering low."
Both of them starts to flap. Jeri squeals as she looks down to see air between her feet and the ground. "You doing great," Julie said from resting on Jeri's head.
"I thought he may have gave us what we need to use this body," Henry said, "It looks like that includes flying."
"Lets practice moving first forward, then back, next left and lastly to the right," Biyomon said.
"This is awesome," Jeri said.
"Jeri try to flap both your wings at the same time," Biyomon said, "With the way you're doing it at the moment you'll use a lot more energy flying then you would otherwise."
Gatomon watches them while standing next to Patamon, "We would be able to help if we weren't still stuck as humans," Gatomon said.
"Maybe you still can," Patamon said, "It should be possible to armor digi-volve Kari right?"
"Kari really doesn't have any experience herself," Gatomon said, "That would just give Biyomon someone else to try teach."
"Oh I didn't think about that," Patamon said.
"Hey it still was a good idea Patamon," Gatomon said and kisses Patamon on the cheek causing him to slightly blush.
"I'm going to find Sora," Tai said.
"Bye," Biyomon said, "You're both doing great."
Tai smiles as he finds Sora sitting next to Mary. She handed the feline a little candy. "Daddy," Mary yelled as she runs to him.
"Hey little lady," Tai said, "I'm happy that you're being nice to Sora."
"Well Sora is nice I guess," Mary said still not completely sure about Sora, "She kind of reminds me of someone else I think I used to know."
"What do you mean," Tai asked.
"I'm not sure but she seems kind of familiar to me," Mary said, "Maybe I knew a digimon that is a lot like Sora?"
"That is a possibility," Tai said, "I guess we'll find out as more of your memories come back."
"Ok," Mary said.
"So you are going to start being a lot nicer to Sora right," Tai asked.
"Yeah I will be daddy," Mary said, "But I'm still not sure if I like her being with you."
"At least it's a start," Sora said.
Meanwhile with Takato and Rika, "So what should we do first," Takato asked.
"This was your idea to come here and you don't know what to do," Rika said.
"There is a lot of stuff to do here and I was wondering if there was anything you wanted to do in particular," Takato said.
"I'm coming here with you," Rika said, "I don't care."
"Lets go on the roller coaster," Takato said.
From hiding spot, Lopmon and Renamon watch the two walk off. "They're both nervous," Renamon said.
"So why did send Guilmon and Terriermon off to get food?" Lopmon asked.
"We don't know how long they will be here," Renamon said.
"So how long have you been with Guilmon?" Lopmon asked.
"A little after we were force into the Digi-World," Renamon said, "How long have you a Terriermon been together?"
"We really haven't been together that long," Lopmon said.
"Well from the way Terriermon has been acting it seems like it's been a lot longer then that," Renamon said.
'This doesn't seem to be going that well,' Takato thinks nervously as they head towards the roller coaster.
'I don't think Takato even has a clue of what to do,' Rika thinks, 'This might be a long day from this point on.'
"Are you sure there isn't anything you want to do Rika," Takato asked.
"I already told you I don't care," Rika said.
"I just don't want to force you to do what I want," Takato said, "Like Ryo."
"That's tricky to score," Renamon said, "He talks about Ryo but he's letting her pick."
"True," Rika said, "Ryo doesn't listen to me."
"So are you all right with this?" Takato asked. 'I need to do something to make her happy.'
"I'm fine with this as long as Ryo isn't around," Rika stated.
"Uh ok," Takato said not sure of how else to respond.
"Doesn't seem like it's going good so far," Lopmon said
"We're back," Guilmon said.
"Took you long enough," Renamon said as she turns around, "You were supposed to get food so where is it?"
"It should be right here," Guilmon said turning to where he put it only to find Terriermon in the process of trying to eat all of it.
"And I thought Guilmon was bad at times when it comes to food," Renamon said.
"I didn't know it was possible at first but Terriermon is worse when it comes to food," Lopmon said, "Least from what I have heard about Guilmon when it comes to food."
"What do you think you are doing," Renamon said as she picks Terriermon up by his ears, "When we sent you to get food we meant for it to be for all of us not just you."
"I'm not all bad," I've saved Lopmon's," Terriermon said as he held up some food."
"I'll get some more," Guilmon said as he walks away.
"Why do you always do stuff like this Terriermon," Lopmon asked.
"I don't always do stuff like this," Terriermon said.
"Whenever anyone comes over to the place we stay at you always tend to eat most of the food before anyone else can get any," Lopmon yelled.
"I save you food," Terriermon said.
"We're spying," Renamon said, "We can't hide if you're yelling."
"Okay," Lopmon said.
"Here is you're food," Terriermon said handing Lopmon her food.
Takato sits down next to Rika. "So what do you want to do after this?" Takato asked.
"Does it really matter all that much," Rika said.
"Come on Rika I'm just trying to be nice and see what you want to do," Takato said.
"What I mean gogglehead is that it doesn't matter what we do as long as I'm with you," Rika said only for most of what she said to be drowned out by the wind as the roller coaster speeds up.
'That thing must be going really fast if I can't hear part of what Rika just said,' Renamon thinks while still spying on them.
About a minute or so later Takato and Rika get off the roller coaster, "What was that you said Rika," Takato asked, "I didn't hear part of it because of the wind."
"Its not important," Rika said.
Meanwhile Biyomon flies next to the gryphons. "You're doing great," she said. She looks down to see they are above Tai and Kari's place. "That's the basics I think a little advance flying won't hurt."
Tai looks at the cards in his hand. "Go fish," he said. Tai just watches as many gatomon paws reach onto the pile.
"We are playing a game," Kari said, "There aren't any fish really."
"Then why did Tai say go fish," a few of the gatomons asked.
"That's just the name of the game," Gatomon said, "Why didn't you say anything Tai?"
"It's fun watching them go for the pile," Tai said.
"What do you mean by advanced flying?" Jeri asked.
"I'll show you," Biyomon said, "That's if you want me too?"
"Of course we want you too right Henry," Jeri said.
"Yeah," Henry said and flies a little distance from Jeri and Biyomon.
"Where are you going Henry?" Jeri yelled.
Meanwhile in Kazu's room, "Oh man what happened," he asked as he starts to wake up.
"You made a total idiot of yourself and that girl punched you in the face because of it," Kenta said.
"Uh what did you say?" Kazu asked.
"What he said is that girl punched you in the face," Guardromon said, "And you were acting like a total moron and loser."
"Hey I didn't say it like that," Kenta said.
"Kenta said all of that," Kazu asked.
"No the total moron and loser part is my opinion," Guardromon said.
"You know Guardromon that really hurts," Kazu said.
"At least you told him I didn't say that part," Kenta said.
"At times you aren't any better when it comes to girls Kenta," MarineAngemon said.
"You haven't seen how I act around girls," Kenta said.
"Most of the time you act similar to Kazu," MarineAngemon said, "So I can imagine how you'll act around girls would probably be just like him."
Meanwhile Lord Holy Angemon smiles as he watches Henry and Jeri on one of his screens, "Excellent they are doing all of the work of learning to fly themselves," he said grinning evilly, "This will save me a lot of time when the time comes."
Knightmon stands behind him grinning as well, 'You have no clue what is going to happen if you allow them to learn how to fly,' he thinks.
Just then a message indication starts flashing on another one of the screens, "What the hell is this," Lord Holy Angemon said getting really annoyed as looks at it, "Looks like someone is trying to contact you Knightmon."
"I wonder who that could be," Knightmon said, "I told the digimon working for me not to contact me unless something is wrong."
"Well then there is probably something wrong," Lord Holy Angemon said sarcastically.
Knightmon walks over to the screen the message is on and reads it, "Looks like I have to leave for a few days to deal with something," he said.
"So the rebels decided to attack your base while you were away like I figured they would," Lord Holy Angemon said.
"That I'm not sure about if they did or didn't," Knightmon said, "All the message really said is that I'm needed because they are having some problems with some of the digimon that you sent there. Though there might have been something mentioned about the rebels as well."
"Better hope they didn't get to any of the more important humans that have been turned into digimon," Lord Holy Angemon said.
"I need to get going," Knightmon said, "Luckily they weren't able to get the high risk ones."
Meanwhile Veemon smiles at a male carrying a pink veemon. Veemon runs up to them. "Hello lady," Veemon said.
"That's TK," Kari said.
"What," Veemon cried, "the only female Veemon I've seen and she's really a human and male."
"There there," Davis said.
"Patamon your ears are different," Kari said.
"We noticed too," Patamon said, "I think I'm changing back to normal. I haven't noticed a thing about TK at the moment."
"Maybe we are just taking longer to change back," Kari said, "Though I'm not that worried about it."
"This sucks first Gatomon decides to go with Patamon and the only Lady Veemon I have seen turns out to be TK," Veemon said, "That wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact she's actually a human male."
"I'm sure things will start going better for you buddy," Davis said, "Hey there are a lot of other gatomons here, Kari mind if I talk to you for a minute?" He frowns as Kari turns the other way and starts walking away from him.
"Looks like you aren't having much luck either Davis," Veemon said, "What did you do to cause her to not want to be around you this time?"
"I didn't do anything to cause this," Davis said.
"Well you had to do something to cause it," Veemon said, "When did she start acting like this?"
"After the fashion show thing that the gatomons decided to do," Davis said, "Kari started acting as if she doesn't want to be around me when she asked me why I had a picture of her."
"What did you tell her when she asked you Davis," Veemon asked.
"I told Kari that other guys carry pictures of their girlfriends," Davis said.
"That might not have been a very smart thing to say," Veemon said, "Because of that Kari might not know what to think about you at the moment."
"Veemon," Mary cheered as she pounces on him. "Aunty Kari said its okay to pounce on you and Mr. Dirt ball." She jumps on Davis.
Davis just stood up once more. Three gatomons jump on him calling him, "Mr Dirt ball."
"She's mad," Veemon said
"What was your first clue?" Davis asked in a nasty tone as a gatomon bites his ears.
"The way Kari answered," Veemon said.
"Will you stop that," Davis yelled as another gatomon bites his tail.
"Lady Kari said we could do anything to you Davis as long as it causes pain," a gatomon said before biting down on his hand.
"Kari really must be pissed at you," Veemon said right before a few more gatomon pounce on him, 'If they are biting Davis I hope they don't do that to me as well,' he thinks.
"Don't worry Veemon, Aunty Kari only said they could hurt Mr. Dirt ball," Mary said seeing the look on his face, "We are only allowed to pounce on you."
"Well that is a relief," Veemon said, "Though I'm having a little trouble breathing with all of these gatomons on top of me."
"That's good for you Veemon, but that doesn't help me at all," Davis yelled as he's trying to get away from some of the gatomons, "Get off me," he yelled as another gatomon pounces on him and bites him on the shoulder.
"Don't you think that's a little extreme what they are doing to Davis," Veemon said.
"There isn't any reason to worry," Mary said, "They are only going to make sure Mr. Dirt ball is hurt and not kill him, he isn't even bleeding yet."
"I think some gatomons just want to chew on something," Black Gatomon said.
"I need to get to Kari," Davis said. He feels someone grab his arms and legs and then being pulled.
"He's mine," one gatomon yelled.
"No mine," another yelled.
"Lets solve this by a Tournament," Veemon said, "Winner gets Davis."
Soon Davis finds himself tied to a stick. He looks down to see a small group of gatomons. "Welcome," Veemon said into a microphone, "I'm Veemon and with me is Mary."
"Thank you," Mary said also into the microphone, "These games are to see who win Davis."
"This is going to be fun to watch," Kari said as she's sitting in Gatomon's lap.
"Don't you think you're letting this go a little too far Kari," Gatomon said, "I mean Davis is a good friend of ours."
"He's fine at the moment so I'm just going to keep watching for now," Kari said, "If it starts getting too out of hand then I might stop the others."
"You know Davis didn't do anything that caused him to deserve this Kari," Tai said.
"Half the time with the way he acts I swear he thinks I belong to him," Kari said, "Earlier he called me his girlfriend when we have never been on a date and I haven't really even thought about dating him."
"You know you could at least call Davis by his name," Agumon said.
"Ok I'll call Dirt ball by his name," Kari snapped in a nasty tone.
"Why does it bother you so much that Davis said that," Gatomon asked.
"Some people have told me for awhile that Dirt ball over there has been claiming I'm his girl friend and have been really nasty to some of my other friends," Kari said, "I didn't believe it at first and the few times I asked he told me that it wasn't true, now I'm not sure if what I have been told by them is true or not."
"Maybe we should let Kari be for now," Patamon said, "You would probably feel the same way if someone said something like that to you Gatomon."
"Let me down from here," Davis yelled.
"Sorry we can't do that till after the tournament is done," Veemon said.
"Veemon you're going to pay for putting me up here," Davis yelled.
"Hey at least none of the gatomons are biting you at the moment Mr. Dirt ball," Mary said, "We could let you down and let them start trying to grab you again like they were before."
"Calm down Davis and shut up," Veemon said, "Or we'll find a way to keep you from talking if it comes to it."
"We'll split you into four group," Veemon said, "Then one group at a time will play doge ball. If you get hit you're out. If you catch the ball then the one who threw it is out. The last two remaining goes onto the next round."
"Me and Veemon will be the judges," Mary said, "While we get ready here is a word from our sponsor."
"What is a sponsor," a gatomon asked.
"Yeah what is that," some of the other gatomons also asked.
"I don't know," Mary said, "It just seemed like something I should say."
"So when are we going to start this," another gatomon asked getting a little impatient.
"Hey be patient will you," Veemon said, "We have to split all of you into four groups ok."
"This might be fun to watch but I won't know till they start," Clawz said.
"There is one rule that you have to follow," Mary said, "While you are playing you can't use you're sharp claws or you'll more then likely end up putting a hole in the ball."
A gatomon runs onto the stage. "This is brought to you by Rent-a-Davis." She lifts a crayon drawn picture, "Wether you want someone to chew on or to walk with on the beach during a romantic choose Rent-a-Davis. Now in digimon and dirt ball models."
"What's going on?" Sora asked.
"Some sort of game for Davis," Tai said.
"I just want to tell you Matt called a meeting here," Sora said.
"Why did he do that," Tai asked.
"I'm not sure why Matt decided to call a meeting," Sora said.
"Hey Kari can you make them stop this," Davis yelled.
"We'll find out when Matt and the others get here," Kari said ignoring Davis' pleas for help.
"Yeah Kari's right," Gatomon said, "All we can do is wait and find out."
"Kari aren't you going to help Davis at all?" Sora asked.
"They can do what they want to dirt ball over there for all I care," Kari said.
"Kari's just mad at Davis about something," Agumon said, "I'm not sure exactly why that is though."
"I want to see how this end," Kari said.
They watch as the gatomons stood in a circle with the ball in the middle. "If you leave the playing field then you're out."
"Why do things like this always happen to me," Davis muttered.
"Things like this don't always happen to you Davis," Veemon said, "The dodge ball game will start as soon as I'm out of the playing field."
"Alright start playing," Mary said just as Veemon steps out of the playing field.
"Stop it you two," Izzy yelled, "The fight been over and you two are still fighting."
"It's a pride thing," Gomamon said. He watch the ball being thrown. "What's going on?"
"They're trying to win Davis," Tai said, "Don't ask I'm just as confused about it."
"It looks like fun," Gomamon said.
"I'll beat you in this too," Tentomon said.
"Sorry but this game is strictly for the gatomons at the moment," Veemon said.
"Why is that," Gomamon asked.
"It just is," Mary said, "Now stay out of the way."
"What will happen if we don't stay out of the way," Tentomon asked.
"Then I guess we'll just have to tie you up as well," Mary said, "Though you two will stay that way till we decide to untie you."
"Izzy wouldn't let you do that," Gomamon said.
"Actually I won't mind as long as it keeps the two of them from fighting," Izzy said.
"Hey," both Gomamon and Tentomon yelled.
"That one gatomon is good," Veemon said as he watches one of them throw the ball and manages to cause it to hit three of the other gatomons.
"I don't care I'm going in," Gomamon yelled. Before he could get into the play area, Veemon and Mary jump him. A little later, Gomamon yelled, "Free me." He struggles to get free of the ropes.
"The runner up gets that Gomamon," one gatomon yelled.
"Hey wait," Gomamon said.
"Sure," Veemon said.
"That sounds good to me," Mary said.
"Don't I get a say in this," Gomamon asked, "I didn't do anything to deserve to be treated like this and why do I go to the runner up?"
"Because the winner gets Davis is why," Veemon said.
"And because you're a loser," Tentomon said.
"I'm not a loser," Gomamon yelled, "Just because I lost to you in that fight doesn't make me one."
"Ok maybe you're right," Tentomon said, "But it still means that you aren't as good of a fighter as I am."
"Tentomon cut it out or else," Izzy said, "And Gomamon you stop it as well."
"Hey Izzy is everything ok," Kari asked, "You seem really annoyed with Gomamon and Tentomon at the moment."
"They have been arguing since after the fight," Izzy said, "I'm about to beat both of them to bloody pulps with how annoying they are getting."
A few minutes later Matt walks into the courtyard in front of Tai and Kari's rooms, "Looks like everyone is here," Matt said, "Wait where is Joe?"
"He's feeling sick again and is resting back in my room," Izzy said.
"So what is it you wanted to talk about Matt," Tai asked, "You are the one who called this meeting."
"The thing is that we need to start focusing on finding a way to defeat Lord Holy Angemon," Matt said, "All you have been doing really is playing around."
"I'm not fooling around all the time," Tai said in a serious tone, "Just because it doesn't seem like it to you doesn't mean we aren't trying to find a way."
"Oh then how are you doing that," Matt said, "Most of the time you are in this area."
"I have been trying to find out some information from some of the gatomons here," Tai said, "They might know something that they don't realize that could be useful to us."
"That is the stupidest thing you can do," Matt said as he sits down. One of the gatomons playing dodge ball throws the ball only for the other gatomons to jump out of the way and it hits Matt in the back of the head, "Ow, who the hell threw that," he yelled as he turns around.
"Sorry about that Matt," Veemon said, "You might want to sit somewhere else so you don't get hit in the back of the head again."
"Well part of the reason I called this meeting is because Crystal Agumon has found something," Matt said as he gets up and moves somewhere else to sit.
"You ok Matt," Gabumon asked.
As he walks, the ball hits him once more. He rubs the side of his head as a gatomon said she sorry. "So when is this over."
"This is just round one," Kari said, "There are three other groups and eight are to play in the next round."
"We have a meeting," Matt said.
"After this is over," Kari said.
"Now," Matt said as he grabs for Kari.
"Stop that," Gatomon said slapping Matt's hand, "We're not going until some one wins Davis."
"Hey Davis can't you just bite through the ropes," Gomamon asked.
"He already tried that," Mary said, "So we tied his mouth shut before you got here for the time being."
"Also Davis was really starting to get annoying with his whining to be let down," Veemon said, "So we really didn't have a choice."
"We need to discuss what we are going to do now," Matt said, "I don't care if you want to watch this or not, defeating Lord Holy Angemon is more important."
"Matt this can wait for a few hours," Tai said and smirks as Matt is hit in the head with the ball again, "Maybe you should go somewhere else so the ball stops hitting you."
"Oh just shut up Tai," Matt said.
"Listen," Tai whispered, "I know other groups are trying to stop him and I know that he's watching them. We need to keep a low profile. So he won't just be watching us. That means relaxing until it's the right time to move."
"And when will that be," Matt said, "If we do that then by the time we do it will be too late to help our friends."
"You don't know that Matt," Tai said and can't help smirking as the ball hits Matt in the head again.
"That does it," Matt yelled as he picks up the ball and turns around throwing it as hard as he can at the gatomons, "Now where was I, we need to act as soon as we possibly can," he said as he turns to face Tai again not seeing one of the gatomons jump up and kick the ball causing it to hit him in the back of the head again but with enough force to knock him face first into the ground this time.
"Oops sorry about that," the gatomon that kicked the ball said, "Sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing something till after it happens."
Gabumon and Crystal Agumon run over to Matt, "Are you ok Matt," Crystal Agumon asked.
"Five more minutes mommy," Matt muttered.
Gabumon sweat drops, "Yeah he's fine."
"What is it you wanted to tell us Crystal Agumon," Tai asked, "Might as well hear it now since you're here."
The milky white dinosaur looks at the gatomons and moves closer to Tai and he jesters for Tai to lower himself. "I found the duty roster," Crystal Agumon whisper to Tai so no one else can hear.
"Thanks," Tai responded.
"This group is over," Veemon said, "Would the two last gatomons please wait for the others to finish."
"Get ready for the next group," Mary said.
"We'll talk about it later," Crystal Agumon said, "I want to see who wins."
Meanwhile Takato walks next to Rika. They come to a large crowd.
"What's going on," Takato asked one of them.
"You mean you don't know," an Alraumon said, "The three Tamers who defeated the D-reaper are here and telling us how they did it."
"Hmm that's interesting," Rika said and gives Takato a look that tells him not to say anything, "I want to meet these Tamers."
"Maybe they can give us tips on how to use our cards better," Takato said grinning.
Rika then pulls Takato away from the rest of the crowd, "What are you saying Takato," Rika asked, "Are trying to say they might be better at using the cards then us."
"No that's not what I meant," Takato whispered, "I figured with the look you gave me that you would want to have a little fun before exposing them for the frauds they are, so I said that so the Alraumon wouldn't know that we are the ones who defeated the D-reaper with our friends."
"You caught on quick this time Googlehead," Rika said, "Usually it takes you a lot longer to catch on to some things."
"Lets just go listen to what they are saying at the moment," Takato said.
"That sounds fine with me," Rika said, "And why didn't you deny what I said about it taking you longer to catch on to some things?"
"Because you're right about that," Takato said, "Everyone has that problem at times so I really couldn't deny it when you said that."
"Can we get through," Rika said only for the crowd to ignore her, "Alright move out of my way unless someone wants to get hurt!"
"What is your problem," one of the people said, "We all want to meet them as well."
"We want to ask them a few questions," Takato said, "Like what the digital world was like when they entered it the first time."
"Why would you want to ask them something like that," someone else said.
"We have our reasons for the questions we want to ask," Rika stated, "Now out of the way I want to see what they look like."
"Uh ok," some of the people said and move out of the way as Rika gives her death glare at them.
"Works like a charm every time," Rika said smirking.
"That must be them there," Takato said pointing at three people talking to the crowd and answering questions that are being asked by the people and digimon in the crowd, "One of them looks a lot like our friend Henry and even has a Terriermon, while the other two look nothing like us," he whispered.
"What gave you that idea," Rika stated, "And your right that one boy does look a lot like our friend."
"So how long have you been Tamers," someone from the crowd asked.
"My friends and I have been Tamers for about a year before the D-reaper attacked the real world," the boy wearing a pair of goggles said with an agumon standing next to him.
"What was the digital world like when you first entered it and how did you enter the digital world in first place," Takato asked.
"Well the way we entered the digital world is that we found a portal like thing beneath the place where our friend kept his partner since he didn't want his parents to freak out about his digimon and he wasn't allowed to have pets either at the time," the Henry look a like said, "Now the digital world looked a lot like it does in the digimon adventures and adventures 02 when we first arrived."
'Hmm not bad with the hideout part for the portal but they struck out on the part of how the digital world looks when first arriving,' Rika thinks, 'But anyone could know that because Takato did blurt that part out a few times since we arrived here.'
"I can't believe some posers are trying to take our place," Renamon said from behind a bush.
"Calm down," Guilmon said, "If Rika knew you were spying..." Guilmon shook his body.
"Well then," Renamon said, "Terriermon and Lopmon can help with that."
"We couldn't stay in Hillside for long," the boy wearing a pair of goggles said, "A group of powerful digimons got word that we were there. When they attack in full force we try to fight but we were under powered to megas in the enemy group and we were out numbered. So we were forced to run. We hid in what looked like a cave."
"By our luck," the Henry look a like said, "it was a device like the one that Izzy used to send the first digi-destineds to the Etemon's fortress. With a little guess work we were able to get away. We found ourselves in the middle a lush jungle."
"Oh what about those digimon that came to the real world calling themselves Devas or something like that," Rika asked, "I heard that supposedly they were working for some higher being called a Sovereign?"
"We found out a few weeks after being in the digital world that the Sovereign they were supposedly speaking of wasn't real," the girl with the Lopmon said.
'I would love to see them tell that to Zhuqaoimon's face,' Takato thinks.
Meanwhile Jeri watches as Henry does all kinds of stunts, "He's pretty good," Biyomon said.
"No he's a show off," Jeri said as she watches Henry folds his wings and does a free fall and opens them again about a hundred feet from the ground causing the air pressure to force him back up.
"Yeah you're right about that Jeri," Biyomon said, "If Henry had misjudged that he would probably be dead now."
"If not dead then seriously hurt," Jeri said, "Well he would be dead after I finished with him for doing something that stupid."
