In this chapter I used a little creative licensing in order to get the kind of affect I want for this chapter and I'll probably be doing it with some future chapters as well when using references from the actual series.

"Alright," Mary said, "The winner is Betty. Come here and say a few words before taking Davis."
Betty walks up and said, "You must have made a mistake. I don't win anything."
"We checked three times and you are the winner," Veemon said, "Enjoy Davis."
Betty grabs Davis in a hug and runs from the group.
Kari rubs Meika's back. "So did she have any friends that are tamers?" Kari asked, "After all they might be able to tell you what happen to her."
"She did," Meika said, "I could see what they can tell me about her."
"That would be a good idea," Kari said, "Want to try and see if we can find any of them today?"
"Actually I think I need a little time to calm down before I do," Meika said, "I'm not sure if I will start crying again or not and end up running before I can ask them."
"There is nothing wrong with letting others see you cry," Kari said.
"It's not that," Meika said, "I'm just not sure if I'm up to seeing them right now with how upset I'm feeling."
"Then we'll go when you feel up to it," Kari said, "I'm sorry for making you feel so down."
"I'm actually feeling better then I have in a long time but I'm still feeling upset as well," Meika said, "I guess holding that in for so long was making me more miserable then I thought it was, but I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders."
"Hey why didn't any of us win," Jewel yelled.
"Because Betty's and Jenny's answers seemed the most truthful out of all of you," Gatomon said, "I'm not saying any of you lied but some of the things the rest of you said seemed a little untruthful or exarated what you said."
"Lets pretend you're a dog and that you chase me around," Jenny told Gomamon as she drag him away.
"I'm happy that Betty won," Tai said.
"What that's it," one of the gatomon that lost yelled, "Kitty pile on Lord Tai." Tai found many gatomons jumping onto him.
"Uh can someone help me?" Tai asked from underneath all of the gatomons.
"Gatomon want to go on another date before we fully become digimon again," Patamon asked.
"Sure that sounds fun," Gatomon said.
"Kari and I can come with the two of you right," TK asked.
"Actually TK I was thinking that it would be just me and Gatomon," Patamon said, "We really haven't been able to spend any time by ourselves as humans."
"Oh ok," TK said.
"Hey it's nothing against you TK," Patamon said, "I'm not trying to make you upset or anything."
"I'm not upset," TK said, "I'm just wondering what I'm going to do till you get back is all."
"This has just been one long and interesting day," Takato said.
"More like annoying," Rika stated.
"I'm going to go lay down Lady Kari," Meika said, "I'm feeling kind of exhausted from explaining what happened to my Tamer to you."
"Ok," Kari said, "You didn't have to tell me that though."
"I told you because I was taught that it's rude to walk away from someone with out letting them know when you have been talking to them," Meika said.
"Hey get off me," Tai said as he looks up at the gatomons. Some started to sleep.
"Hey Tai," Kari said walking up to her brother, "I'm getting hungry."
"I'll get it," Sora said, "Tai you keep an eye on the digimon ok.."
"Sure, not much else I can do," Tai said.
"Um where did Gatomon and Patamon go," Kari asked when she notices they are gone.
"They decided to go on another date," TK said, "Patamon told me he wanted it to just be him and Gatomon since they really haven't had time to themselves while being humans."
"There doesn't seem to be much to do at the moment with half the gatomons on top of Tai," Kari said, "And the other half of them are just mainly talking."
"You know you could try to help me Kari," Tai said.
"Alright," Kari said as she starts walking towards her and Tai's room, "Come on TK."
"Um ok," TK said, "I thought you were going to help Tai."
"I am," Kari said as she walks into the room and goes into Tai's bedroom.
"How are you helping him by coming in here then?" TK asked.
"Simple," Kari said as she jumps onto Tai's bed and grabs one of the pillows, "Tai asked me for help but he didn't specify how to help him, so I'm grabbing a few of his pillows even though I know that isn't the kind of help he meant."
"I think I see what you mean," TK said as Kari throws one of the pillows on her, "Hey next time warn me."
"It's only a pillow TK," Kari said, "So you will be fine."
"Well because it's bigger then me at the moment it knocked me over when you threw it down," TK said.
"Oh sorry about that," Kari said as she jumps down with another pillow.
"What is Kari doing," Tai said, "She said she would help me when I asked her too."
"I think Lady Kari's coming back now Lord Tai," one of the gatomons on top of him said.
"Why did you go into the room," Tai asked and sweat drops seeing Kari and TK carrying pillows, "Ok why do you have those?"
"You asked me for help so I'm helping you," Kari said grinning as her and TK put the pillows under Tai's head.
"You know this isn't what I meant Kari," Tai yelled.
"Then next time you should be more specific on what you mean," Kari said, "And I did know that isn't what you meant."
"So what are we going to do now," TK asked.
"How about we watch the show with Takato and the others," Mary said, "Veemon, Izzy, and some of the others are already in Takato's room getting ready to watch it."
Meanwhile Betty carry Davis into Tai and Kari's place. "What do I do now?" Betty asked Davis, "I never won anything."
"Lets talk," Davis said, "Just untie me so I can get comfortable."
"No," Betty said, "I mean you'll run away." She leans over and bites on Davis' tail.
"Can't we talk about this," Davis said as he whimpers.
"I'm back," Sora said, "Here's the food."
The gatomons jump off Tai and run to the cart Sora is pushing.
"That's a relief," Tai said as he sits up.
"Uh Tai why are your pillows out here," Sora asked.
"I asked Kari for help and she decided to bring them to me with TK's help," Tai said, "Even though she knew that isn't what I meant when I asked for help."
"Kari would do something like that," Sora said, "Where is she anyways?"
"She's in Takato's room with some of our other friends watching that cartoon show that has us in it," Tai said, "Mary is in there as well."
"So far this episode seems to be mostly accurate," Izzy said.
"Pipe down Izzy I'm trying to watch this," Kari stated getting annoyed with him talking.
"Yeah Izzy you can make your observation on it after this episode ends," Rika stated glaring at him.
"Yea," Mary said, "Its rude. I want to see Daddy and big brother."
Outside, Sora watch Tai hand out the food. "How do you deal with all these gatomons?" Sora asked.
"Didn't you ask it before?" Tai asked as he gave a gatomon some food, "Never mind. You see they take a little work but you see they are always fun. You never know what one of them will do."
"Like that contest," Sora said, "So when do you think your fight will be."
"I don't know," Tai said, "Close, this first round is almost done. I can't believe the number of partner humans there are."
"What I can't believe is that we're a show in another world," Sora said, "What do you think about that?"
"I think it's kind of cool having a cartoon based off of us in another word," Tai said, "Also it explains how so many of the people here know so much about what happened to us in the digital world."
"Well I find it a little unnerving that so many people know so much about us," Sora said.
"I'm sure that they don't know everything Sora," Tai said, "It's a cartoon show so I doubt that everything is going to be accurate, though Izzy is going to find it very intriguing knowing him."
Meanwhile in Takato's room in the living room area, "You know Kari you do look cute as a Gatomon," Veemon said.
"Sorry not interested Veemon," Kari said not taking her eyes away from the TV, "I won't date digimon even though I'm a gatomon at the moment."
"All I said is that you're cute as a Gatomon," Veemon said.
"Yeah and with the way you and Davis are you're probably thinking you can get me since he hasn't yet," Kari said, "Especially since Gatomon is already with Patamon, now be quiet so we can watch this."
'The way Kari said that I think she's purposely trying to make Veemon feel bad,' Takato thinks, 'Though I don't know why she would do that, unless she's still mad at him about the pranks him and Davis pulled on everyone that one night."
A few minutes later they hear the Lady Devimon in the cartoon screamed, "Aaahhhh I'm melting." A sweat drop forms by Kari's head and about a minute later she bursts out laughing causing everyone in the room who hadn't seen the fight first hand to look at her in confusion.
"Uh what's so funny," Guilmon asked confused.
"Sorry about that," Kari said trying to bring her laughter under control, "It's just what Lady Devimon screamed made me laugh."
"Why is that so funny to you," Takato asked, "Isn't that what she actually screamed when she got deleted?"
"No she didn't say anything like that," Kari said, "What she actually screamed was master Piedmon as she was deleted, also do you think anyone in real life could hear someone yell 'Aaahhh I'm melting' and not crack up laughing?"
"I see your point," Renamon said, "If the D-reaper agent that looked like Jeri had done something like that after that program that was put into Terriermon was activated I'm pretty sure all of us would have been laughing about it."
"Daddy looks young," Mary said.
"Lady Mary, Lady Kari," a gatomon said walking into the room. "there is food out side."
"Bye," Mary yelled as she runs out the door with Kari close behind.
"Hey Sora," Biyomon cheered, "We're done. Henry and Jeri did a great job."
"We're going to be a while," Sora said, "I need to hand out this food."
"Henry I need to talk to you for a moment," Jeri said, "So come over here."
"What is it Jeri," Henry asked as he walks over to her."
"What the hell gave you the idea to do something so stupid," Jeri yelled in his face.
"Well I uh," Henry tries to start saying something only to be cut off.
"You know Henry for someone so smart at times you can be a complete and total idiot," Jeri yelled before walking off.
"Whoa she seems pissed," Sora said.
"I wonder why that is," Tai asked.
"Well while I was teaching them how to fly Henry there at one point decided to try all kinds of stunts," Biyomon said, "The one that more then likely pissed Jeri off is the one where he decided to dive bomb towards the ground and not pull out of it till he was hundred or so feet from the ground, if he had made one wrong move he would probably be dead now."
"I'm not too surprised because a lot of guys like to show off no matter how dangerous it could be," Sora said, "With how mad she seems at the moment I wouldn't be surprised if Jeri wants to kill Henry right now herself."
Meanwhile, Knightmon smiles and then said, "Wait until you learn that I add a little catnip to their food."
"I really don't care what you decided to do," Lord Holy Angemon said, "Why did you come back so soon anyways?"
"Well the only real problem was that the collars don't seem to work as well on the Cory boy and his Armadillomon," Knightmon said, "They aren't functioning to full capacity with those two and they are refusing to do half of the stuff they are told."
"You must mean Cody since I haven't sent you any other digi-destined with an Armadillomon as of yet," Lord Holy Angemon said, "And there shouldn't be any way possible that they are able to over power those collars."
"If that is so then why didn't the collars work on the Crystal Agumon that you turned into a Shardmon," Knightmon said, "And due to that the part of his data that made up his real mind was corrupted because of you."
"That only happened because the Datamon hadn't finished programming the collars at that time," Lord Holy Angemon said, "They still had a few bugs to work out in them."
"Whatever you say," Knightmon said, "Another part of the reason they wanted me to come back so urgently is that the rebels were attacking, but a few hours after I got there my forces were able to push them back since they underestimated my forces."
Meanwhile Davis sits next to Betty. "So what are you going to do?" Davis asked, "The others are getting food."
"I'm too nervous with you," Betty said, "I don't want to throw up."
"That was a little bit more then I needed to know," Davis said, "Though can you untie me please?"
"No I don't want you to run away," Betty said, "If I do untie you, you're going to run and hide somewhere from me."
"I won't run from you Betty," Davis said, "All I want to do is stretch because I'm getting cramped being tied up like this."
"You really won't run from me if I untie you," Betty asked.
"I said I won't," Davis said.
"Ok I'll untie you then," Betty said, "But if you try to run I'll pounce on you and I will bite you as hard as I can this time."
After Betty unties Davis he starts stretching and grimaces at the popping he hears and feels from his arms and legs, 'With how stiff my legs feel at the moment I don't think I can barely walk at the moment let alone run,' he thinks, 'Looks like I'm stuck being here for awhile.'
"I don't mind," Betty said, "This been the longest date I had."
Meanwhile outside, Kari walks up to Tai. "I'm not feeling well."
"What wrong?" Tai asked.
"I was eating the food when I started to feel light headed," Kari said.
"Maybe you should try laying down," Tai said, "That might help."
"Yeah I'll try doing that," Kari said, "I wonder what is in the food to make me feel this way?"
"Oh Sora did you get any food for me," Biyomon asked, "I'm hungry as well."
"Yeah I got some food for you Biyomon," Sora said, "But I stopped by our room and put it in the fridge their because I had no clue how much longer you were going to be and I didn't want any of the gatomons here taking it."
"Oh ok," Biyomon said, "I guess I'll have to eat later then."
"Is there anything for me," Agumon asked.
"Yeah I have it right here," Sora said, "Just give me a moment to find it with all of the other food on here."
"If I have to wait to eat then so should Agumon," Biyomon huffed.
"Why do I need to wait?" Agumon asked.
"Because your food is at Sora's," Tai said, "You can walk with them back there."
"Tai," Kari said, "Would you mind carrying me?"
After picking up his sister, Tai turns to the others. "Looks like the others are not feeling well. It may be a good idea to wait to feed the hurt gatomons until we know this food is safe."
"Tai are you coming with us," Sora asked.
"I want to make sure Kari is ok," Tai said, "You go on and I'll meet you at your room in a little bit."
"Maybe we should stay here and help you out," Sora said, "It looks like you might end up having your hands full I think."
"Why do you say that," Agumon asked.
"Just take a look Agumon," Biyomon said, "Some of the gatomons are starting to act different then they usually do."
"Are you feeling ok Kari," Tai asked noticing her sudden lack of energy.
"Yeah I feel fine," Kari said, "Other then feeling lightheaded and really tired all of a sudden that is."
"Uh is something wrong," TK asked noticing the look in the gatomon eyes that she's talking too.
"It is just that I'm feeling funny," the gatomon said, "You ears are a bit long." With that she jumps on to TK and starts biting TK's ear.
"Help," TK yelled as the gatomon bites her ear. "Some one stop her."
"Alright," Tai said picking up the gatomon. "Could you keep an eye on them while I place Kari in bed."
"We'll try," Sora said.
"Now we need to wait longer," Agumon said.
"What is going on?" Matt asked, "Why am I tied up." he struggle, "Someone help?"
"I wonder why they are acting like this," Agumon said, "Wait didn't Gatomon, Suzy, and Mary act similar to this while we were on that one island?"
"Yeah they did," Biyomon said, "I wonder if something similar to catnip was put into the food?"
"I didn't put anything into the food," Sora said, "So it had to be one of the workers that gave it to me."
"Sora I never said it was you," Biyomon said.
"No one is OUCH," Agumon starts to say and then yelled, "Who bit me," he yelled as he turns around and accidently scratches the gatomon that is behind him which happens to be Mary.
"You don't have to be so mean big brother," Mary said before collapsing and reverting to Salamon from how deep the scratches are.
"Oh no Mary," Agumon said.
"Don't worry Agumon she seems to be fine," Sora said, "Mary is just asleep, I think when you accidentally scratched her it weakened her enough to cause her to de-digivolve."
"With how deep I saw you claws go I'm not surprised she passed out and reverted," Biyomon said, "Though I am a little surprised that there isn't any viewable signs of what just happened in her rookie form."
"I better get her inside," Agumon said, "I hope she forgives me."
"I'm sure she will," Biyomon said, "Lets hurry. I'm hungry."
"Right," Agumon said picking up Mary.
"What's with all the noise?" Rika asked as she slam the door open. She look out to see most gatomons rest while others were running around randomly. "Stupid neighbors."
"I better get going," Izzy said.
"We need to free Matt and get going back to our room too," Gabumon said, "Our fight could be tomorrow."
"You're not going anywhere," Verna said as she and another gatomon pounce on Gabumon.
"Hey get off of me," Gabumon yelled, "This isn't funny."
Verna and the other gatomon exchange a quick look and slight grins form on their faces, "Ok we'll get off you Gabumon," Verna said, "Sorry about pouncing on you."
"Don't worry it's ok," Gabumon said as they help him back up, "Give that back," he yelled as they run off with his fur.
"You have to catch us first," the other gatomon yelled.
"Whoa Gabumon looks like a reptile of some sort with out the fur," TK said looking at Gabumon, "Ken would probably look the same at the moment just that he would be a black and grey color I think."
"Yeah you're probably right about that TK," a gatomon that is laying down and relaxing said.
"Uh why aren't you running around like some of the others are," TK asked as another gatomon runs by them with Ken's fur coat, "Looks like they got Ken's as well."
"Hey come back with that," Ken yelled as he runs by TK, "That is mine."
"You have to catch me first," the gatomon said and turns her head to see Ken jumping at her and throws his fur coat to another gatomon, "Sorry don't have it any more," she said as Ken lands on top of her.
"I really don't see any point in running around like they are," the gatomon said, "I just feel like relaxing and maybe going to sleep right here."
"At least none of the gatomons that are going crazy are bothering me now," TK said, "They seem more intent on playing keep away with Ken's and Gabumon's fur coats, one seems really focused on Crystal Agumon right now. I don't think Smiley would like that if she found out."
"Actually that is Smiley or Susanna as is her actual name," the gatomon said.
"Oh," TK said, "I just realized I don't even know your name yet."
"Well you should know who I am," the gatomon said, "I was in the final round to win Davis but I didn't."
"Wait then you're Jewel or one of the others right," TK asked.
"Yeah I'm Jewel," Jewel said.
Agumon opens the door to his room, "Black Gatomon calm down," Tai yelled as Agumon walks into the room to literally see her bouncing off the walls, "You're going to break something," he said only for a lamp to get knocked over and break.
"Uh Tai have you seen the digi-egg that was in my room," Kari asked, "One of the gatomons had burst into data while they were getting looked at by the nurses and reformatted into a digi-egg."
"No I haven't Kari," Tai said, "It's probably still in there somewhere and at the moment I kind of have my hands full with Black Gatomon."
"Never mind Tai I found it err her I mean," Kari said from her room as a Snowbotamon jumps on her, "It looks like she hatched while we were outside."
"Then take care of it," Tai said.
"Alright," Kari said, "Nap time." She picks up the small digimon and walks back to her room.
A few minutes later Tai watches as Black Gatomon stops jumping around and curls up at his feet. "I hope the others are as easy to catch." He steps outside to see a group of gatomons running while carrying the still wrapped up Matt and Crystal Agumon running after them. "I wonder if we'll see Matt here again. I think I'll watch and make sure no one gets hurt."
"Can we please leave?" Agumon cried, "I'm starving."
"Sorry Agumon but not yet," Tai said turning to Agumon, "I want to make sure no one gets hurt and which one of the gatomons is that in your arms that de-digivolved into their rookie form?"
"This is Mary," Agumon said, "I was talking with Biyomon and Sora when she bit me on the tail and I turned around really fast and accidentally hit her."
"She'll be ok Agumon," Tai said, "Just put her in our room on the bed for now and try to be a little more careful."
"Alright," Agumon said, "Oh Biyomon thinks either catnip or something like it might have been put in the food because some of them seem to be acting like Gatomon, Mary and Suzy were on the one island we went to while at the other place."
"Let go of my fur coat," a gatomon yelled as Gabumon is trying to get his fur back from her.
"No this is mine," Gabumon said, "Two of the other gatomons took it from me a few minutes ago."
Gabumon almost has his fur back when three other gatomons jump on top of him and knock him to the ground causing him to lose his grip on it and the gatomon with it to start running again, "She found it so it belongs to her now," one of the gatomons on top of him said.
"Get off me so I can get my fur back," Ken yelled causing Gabumon to turn his head to see him in a similar situation as him.
Meanwhile with Patamon and Gatomon, "So why did you decided to come here again Patamon," Gatomon asked.
"Well while we were here last time I saw a few rides I wanted to try only problem then was that they were for humans or human like digimon," Patamon said, "At the time I was in my rookie form and you were in your champion form so we couldn't ride them then."
"So what rides do you want to go on," Gatomon asked.
"The first one I was thinking of is the bumper cars," Patamon said, "I know it's nothing like driving a car but we can at least have fun with those ones."
"That sounds like it would be fun," Gatomon said.
"Lets get in line for it then," Patamon said as they head over to the bumper cars just in time for the people on it to be getting off.
The line then starts moving, "Sorry but you two are going to have to wait for a little bit," an Agumon said as he closes the gate to enter before they can.
"But there are still two more bumper cars free," Gatomon said.
"I assure that there aren't any more at the moment," he said and turns around to see that Gatomon is right, "Oh sorry about that I didn't realize that four of the people were going to share two of them."
"Lets go," Patamon said.
"If you're saying lets go then why are you still standing there," Gatomon asked.
"I'm letting you go in first," Patamon said.
"Ah trying to be a gentleman I see," Gatomon said walking by Patamon and teasing him a little, "Well you aren't doing too bad at the moment, but you could do a little better."
"So do you want use the same car I'm going to be in?" Patamon asked.
"Actually I was thinking of us each having our own," Gatomon said grinning, "It wouldn't be as much fun if only one of us were using the steering wheel of the bumper car."
"I'm pretty sure that isn't the only reason," Patamon said as he gets into one of the two bumper cars left and Gatomon gets into the other one, "You probably want to try to ram everyone including me with your car."
"Where else are you suppose to hit everyone in sight with bad driving?" Gatomon asked.
Meanwhile Tai smiles as the last of the gatomons fall asleep. "Finally," Tai said picking up the last Gatomon.
"To the food," Agumon yelled.
"Sora go with them," Tai said, "I'll clean up a little and someone needs to watch the gatomons."
"I'll bring you food back," Sora said, "I'll also stop by and see how Joe is doing."
"I'll see you," Tai said.
"Uh Sora I just realized something," Biyomon said, "Where are Mimi and Palmon at?"
"Oh they're back in our room," Sora said, "Why do you ask?"
"What you left them alone with our food," Agumon yelled.
"Hey Agumon you should know that Mimi and Palmon don't like to eat as much as the rest of the digimon," Sora said, "Least I don't think they do."
"Well we better hurry to see if our food is still there," Agumon said.
"I'm going to give Tai a piece of my mind for letting the gatomons tie me up like that," Matt said as he starts walking over to Tai after Gabumon, Crystal Agumon and TK untied him.
"Actually Matt that isn't Tai's fault," Gabumon said sheepishly, "I kind of put the gatomons up to it myself."
"Hey Ken catch," Tai yelled as he throws Ken his fur coat, "Three or four of the gatomons were sleeping on top of it when I found it."
"Thanks Tai," Ken said as he catches his fur coat and puts it back on, "That's better."
"You know you look cute with or with out your fur coat on," one of the gatomons that decided to just lay around after being affected by the catnip said.
"Uh thanks I think," Ken said nervously as he's blushing, "But I already have a girlfriend and I'm normally a human."
"I wasn't implying anything like that," the gatomon said, "I'm just saying your cute even though I'm not interested in reptile type digimon."
"You put them up to that Gabumon," Matt yelled, "Why did you do that?!"
"It was only a harmless little joke," Gabumon said, "You didn't get hurt by it or anything else."
"We'll see how you like it," Matt said tying up Gabuomon.
"This isn't bad," Gabumon said.
"Not until I leave you tied up and leave food just out of your reach," Matt said.
"Your evil," Gabumon yelled.
Meanwhile in Sora's room, "Hurry," Mimi yelled, "We need to finish it all before they get here."
"I'm going as fast as I can," Palmon said.
"We're almost done," Mimi said, "We just need to hide this little remaining food and leave some crumbs to make it look like we ate it and then we turn on a comedy."
"Why do you want to make it look like we ate it," Palmon asked.
"If we don't then they'll know that we hid it," Mimi said, "If we make it look like we ate it then they would think we did."
"I don't understand," Palmon said, "But I have the movie on." They then hear Sora out side. "To the TV."
"Now don't say anything about the food," Mimi whispered.
"You know Mimi you're acting a little different then you usually do," Palmon whispered back.
"What do you mean? Wait tell me later," Mimi said as the door opens and Sora, Biyomon and Agumon walk in.
"You two are behaving right," Sora asked.
"Of course we are," Mimi said, "Why don't you trust us?"
"I do trust you Mimi and you know that," Sora said, "It's just that sometimes digimon can be a little misleading about some things."
"Can we get our food now," Agumon asked, "I'm really hungry."
"Ok give me a moment," Sora said, "I'll get it in a minute."
"Alright," Agumon said a little disappointed.
Hearing this Mimi giggles for a moment, "What are you laughing at Mimi," Biyomon asked.
"Oh just the movie Palmon and I are watching," Mimi said.
Sora walks into the area with the fridge, 'Oh no they didn't,' she thinks seeing the crumbs all over the floor as she walks over to the fridge and opens it to find nothing in there except for an empty container with Agumon's name on it, 'They did eat it all, dang it.'
"Mimi, Palmon," Sora yelled entering the main room. "Where is the food?"
"In the fridge," Mimi said.
"I mean Agumon's," Sora yelled. Agumon runs into the kitchen.
"They ate it," He staggers out. He drops to the floor. "I don't think I can go on."
"You better not have eaten mine," Biyomon said flying into the kitchen. "They did," Biyomon said dropping next to Agumon.
"Mimi, Palmon what are you going to do to make this better?" Sora asked.
"Don't worry we'll do something to make it up in a little bit," Palmon giggled, "But first Mimi and I want to finish watching this."
'They don't even suspect a thing,' Mimi thinks as she giggles, "Yeah we want to finish watching this first."
"No you two are going to do something about it now," Sora said.
"I'm so hungry that I must be imagining I can smell the food they ate," Agumon said.
Mimi and Palmon giggle from what Agumon just said since they know where the food actually is, Sora cracks a smile for a moment from the scene on the TV, "I want to eat now," Biyomon complained, "Stop watching the stupid TV and do something about the food you ate now."
Meanwhile back at the amusement park Patamon laughs as he rams the car he's driving into another one, "This is a lot fun," he cheered right before Gatomon rams her car into the side of his.
"You're right about that Patamon," Gatomon said with a grin.
"What is up with those two," one of the people still waiting in line said, "They act like they never been on a ride like this before."
"Why should that really matter to you," another person asked, "Just worry about having fun yourself."
Meanwhile back in Sora's room, "Hey we are watching that," Mimi whined as Agumon uses the remote to turn off the TV.
"I don't care," Agumon said, "I want to eat right now, I'm starving and you two ate my food so you better find something for me to eat now."
"After the show," Palmon said using one of her vine like fingers to turn on the TV.
"I had enough of this," Sora yelled, "Mimi and Palmon fix this right now."
"Fine," Mimi said. Both plant digimon walk into the kitchen and come out with their tray. They were both are knocked back by the other two digimon grabbing the food. "Sora," Mimi called from the floor, "They knocked me down."
"Serves you right," Sora said.
Else where, Gatomon heard the ride operator tell them that the ride is over. "That was fun," Gatomon said.
"Yeah it sure was," Patamon said as he unbuckles the seat belt and gets out of the bumper car and walks over to the one Gatomon is in, "Though you didn't have to yell it."
"I didn't yell Patamon," Gatomon said as he helps her out of the bumper car she's in and touches one of his ears, "It probably sounds like that because your ears are back to normal," she whispered not wanting to hurt his ears.
"I didn't even realize they had changed back completely already," Patamon said, "Come on lets go," he said not liking the stares he's getting from the others around them.
"Alright I think we should as well," Gatomon said and smiles as Patamon puts his arm around her shoulder, she puts one of her arms are around him and subconsciously wraps her tail around his waist as well.
"Did his ears look like a Patamon's when he got on the ride," some people started whispering.
"I don't think she had a tail before going on the ride," some other people are also whispering.
Feeling something wrapping around his waist Patamon looks to see its Gatomon's tail, "Uh Gatomon when did your tail come back," Patamon asked.
"I'm not sure," Gatomon said as she realizes she feels it wrapped around his waist and leaves it like that, "I guess it happened during the ride."
"We should hide," Patamon said, "The way everyone else is staring at us is making me uncomfortable."
"My place is closer," Gatomon said. "It looks like I'm not the only one changed." She reaches up and rubs bat like ears coming from Patamon's head pointing them out again.
Meanwhile with Sora, "Save me," Mimi cried as she hides behind Sora's leg. Skillfully she keep Sora's leg between her, Biyomon and Agumon.
"I need to get this food to Tai," Sora said raising the tray. "Biyomon you're in charge." She steps out. "Make sure no one gets hurt too much."
Meanwhile Tai lower himself on the couch. His stomach protests in a low rumble. "I hope they bring my food soon."
"Is something wrong daddy," Mary asked walking over to him still in her rookie form.
"Nothings wrong Mary," Tai said, "So how are you feeling?"
"My chest still hurts from where big brother hit me and I'm feeling really tired," Mary yawned.
"Agumon didn't mean to hit you," Tai said, "Try going into the room and getting some more rest."
"Ok daddy," Mary yawned and walks back into the bedroom.
A few minutes later Tai turns around as he hears the door opening only for it to be Gatomon and Patamon walking back in, "Oh it's only you two," Tai said disappointed, "The tail and ears look kind of strange on you Gatomon and so does the wing like ears on Patamon's head since you two are still mainly human otherwise."
"What?" Gatomon asked as she brings one of her hands up to find her human ears are gone and moves it up to the top side of her head to feel a cat like ear there, "I could have sworn my ears were still those of humans when we left the theme park?"
"Looks like our changes back to normal might be speeding up," Patamon said, "Though what I don't get is why Kari and TK haven't started changing back as of yet?"
"Maybe it just takes longer," Tai said, "Crystal Agumon might know since he said he helped build a lot of the stuff that is here."
'So that Crystal Agumon that came here with one of their friends is the same one that the host turned into Shardmon,' Ice thinks overhearing Tai, 'Knightmon is going to want to know that when I talk to him again.'
'This might be a good thing or a bad thing that Ice knows that now,' Tai thinks hearing her thoughts.
A few moments later Sora walks into the room, "Sorry I took so long Tai," she said, "But Mimi and Palmon decided to play a joke on Biyomon, Agumon and me to where they made us think they had eaten all of the food when they had actually hid it from us."
"That's not good," Mary said.
"I told you to get some rest," Tai said.
"I want to be with you," Mary said.
"I'm going to eat," Tai said, "I guess you can rest on my lap."
"Shall we eat," Sora said.
"Sure," Tai said, "I wonder if the next day fights are up."
"Let's check to see if the fights have been put up after we finish eating," Sora said before taking a bite of her food.
"Yeah that would be a good idea," Tai said with some food in his mouth.
"Eww that's disgusting daddy," Mary said hearing him talking with his mouth full.
"That is one thing I agree about," Sora said after swallowing her food, "I know you have better manners then that Tai."
After clearing this throat, Tai said, "Sorry, I had other things on my mind. I was say we should look after we eat."
"We can do it," Gatomon said walking from the back room.
"You're changing back," Sora said.
"Right," Patamon said, "We just checked Kari and found nothing to tell her apart from a normal gatomon. Let's check the fights."
"Their changing back...well that should be good news," Sora said.
"Takato is fighting," Gatomon said, "And Rika is in a special 3-way match between her, Ryo, and a person called Andrew."
"That doesn't seem fair to Rika," Tai said, "As far as I know no one else has had a fight like that."
"I did notice that it has yours, Matts, Kari and TK's names on there for fights," Patamon said, "But the thing is it also says postponed till further notice by them as well."
"Who did it say I was supposed to fight," Tai asked even though he already has an idea of who it said.
"You're supposed to be fighting Kari," Gatomon said, "It just seems messed up."
Tai sighs before responding, "That's what I thought I was going to hear," he said, "Let me guess Matt and TK are fighting against each other as well?"
"Yeah they are," Patamon said, "I hate to have to fight against Gabumon for no real reason behind it."
"Look on the bright side Tai," Sora said, "Even if you do win Kari still has more digimon then you do at the moment so she more then likely won't be turned to one."
"I know that," Tai said, "I just don't want to see her lose to another person after me that might treat her digimon badly especially if it's you and Black Gatomon," he said looking at Gatomon.
"I hope I don't end up with one of them as well," Gatomon said.
"I don't think that would matter," Tai said, "Kari has three partners." Then he yawns, "This day really drained me."
"I'll see you tomorrow," Sora said standing up, "I need to check up and the digimons at my place."
"Nighty night Daddy," Mary said slowly falling asleep on Tai's lap.
"I think your forgetting about Black Gatomon maybe," Gatomon said, "With her Kari has four partners."
"Actually I wasn't including Davis since he's human and only stuck as a digimon at the moment," Tai said and yawns again.
"Uh where is TK at anyways," Patamon asked, "I'm not seeing her at the moment?"
"I think Matt might have taken, TK, Ken and Wormmon with him when he left," Tai said, "Though he did seem upset with Gabumon."
"Well I should get going as well," Patamon said, "See you tomorrow Gatomon?"
"Of course you will silly," Gatomon said and kisses him on the lips.
"I'm going to my room," Tai said as he picks up Mary in a way that he doesn't wake her.
"Well see you tomorrow Patamon," Gatomon said as she watches him walk out of the room.
Meanwhile in Matt's room, "Ah come on this isn't fair at all," Gabumon yelled as he's completely tied up and is struggling to get to the food just out of his reach, "It was only a little harmless joke that I had the gatomons do to you."
"I want to make his suffering worse but I'm not sure how," Matt said as he's thinking of how to make the fact Gabumon can't get to the food worse then it already is.
"I have an idea of how to make Gabumon's suffering worse," Crystal Agumon said, "The rest of us have not really eaten our food yet so if you want to we could make it worse for him by eating in front of him."
"Alright," TK cheer, "I'm getting hungry." She grab the food and starts to eat.
"Shouldn't you wait for Patamon?" Crystal Agumon said.
"No," TK said, "He could have eaten with Gatomon so lets dig in."
"Alright," Matt said.
"This is good," Crystal Agumon said after he swallows a bit.
"It is," Matt said.
"I can agree with that," TK said.
"Aw come on Matt," Gabumon whined, "It's not bad enough that you had to tie me up and leave food just out of my reach, now all of you are eating in front of me."
"So Matt when do you think you'll be fighting," Ken asked.
"I really have no clue," Matt said as they all ignore Gabumon's pleas, "Though we could check in the morning."
"That would be a good idea," Wormmon said, "For all we know you could be fighting Tai soon."
"Come just let me eat as well," Gabumon pleaded only for no one to listen.
"So Matt why did you bring me back here instead of leaving me back at Kari and Tai's place to wait for Patamon," TK asked.
"With the way those gatomons were acting I had you come back with me because I didn't want you to get hurt," Matt said.
"By the time Crystal Agumon and Gabumon untied you most of them had fallen asleep from using up most of their energy," TK said.
"Fine if you're going to ignore me then I'll give you a reason to pay attention to me," Gabumon said, "Blue blaster," he yelled aiming the attack at Matt and hitting but used only enough energy to where it would sting him but not hurt him.
"Ouch," Matt yelled as he jumps up from the pain, "Fine if that's how you want it then so be it."
A few minutes later Gabumon sits there watching them with out making a sound due to the fact Matt tied his mouth shut, "Hey what's going on," Patamon asked as he walks in the room and sees Gabumon tied up in the corner, "And why is Gabumon tied up?"
"He told me it was his idea to have the gatomons wrap me up like that back at Tai's place," Matt said, "So I'm punishing him by doing the same to him."
"Well I'm done eating," TK said and lets out a big belch, "What did I do something wrong," she asked as everyone just stares at her.
"So your changing back to normal faster then you thought," Ken asked, "I thought you said it would be a few more days till you return to normal?"
"I say he has either till tomorrow night or the following morning till he's fully digimon again," Crystal Agumon said, "Though for Kari and TK it still might be a few days before they even start changing back if not a little bit longer."
"Well I'm going to head to bed now," Patamon said, "Come on TK."
"Alright," TK said and yawns.
"The rest of you should get to bed as well," Matt said, "I'm going to stay up a little longer and decide when to let Gabumon eat, also I want to check to see if I'm fighting at all tomorrow."
"Oh that's right," Patamon yawned, "I checked while at Tai and Kari's place and noticed that it has yours and TK's name on there but it says postponed till further notice."
A few hours later in Tai and Kari's place someone is tossing and turning from what appears to be a dream or nightmare.
"Intruder warning," Andromon said, "Interloper detected."
Laughter is heard as Lady Devimon appears, "You pile of recycled scrap you spoiled my entrance."
"We should have known there be a welcoming comity," Sora said.
"She looks like a witch," Kari said.
"She's worse she's one of Piedmon Nightmare soldiers," Andromon said.
"No hello's," Lady Devimon said, "Well I'm sure your tired you poor things, you need a rest, to rest in piece."
"Koromon," Tai yelled.
"Koromon digivolve to...Agumon," he yelled, "Pepper breath."
"Agumon," Tai said in a worried tone after his partner got smacked to the ground by Lady Devimon.
The other digimon then start digivolving starting with Patamon, "Patamon digivolve to...Angemon."
"Biyomon digivolve to...Birdramon."
"Tentomon digivolve to...Kabuterimon."
"Gatomon digivolve to...Angewomon."
Lady Devimon starts laughing again, "You just made my job a lot easier," she said, "Darkness Wave!"
All the digimon yell in surprise as they are pushed back "Lightning Blade," Andromon yelled launching the attack at Lady Devimon only for her to block it.
