Everyone gasped at the sound of the alarm. 'Is… there a fire?' Tai finally asked after a few moments. Taichi immediately went to the doorknob and felt it. He frowned. 'It's hot.' He said. The digi-destined didn't panic. They've been through worse than this in the digital world. 'Damn it, why didn't anyone bring their digimon?' Yamato cursed under his breath.

Everyone sighed. 'I have Gatomon here, but I doubt she can do anything. She doesn't have any water-like powers that can put out the fire.' Hikari said quietly. Suddenly the sprinklers went off, and everyone figured it went off in the entire building. 'My homework is going to get wet…' Tai muttered. There was a surge of, 'TAI!' throughout the room.

Suddenly there was a loud BOOM. 'What the hell?' Daisuke said out loud. Before they knew it a blast had broken down the door and caused the digi-destined to blow over and fall down! 'Hikari… I've got you!' Takeru called crawling over to her and hugging her tightly. 'Takeru… are y-you okay?' She said noticing that the boy of her dreams was holding her tightly.

Takeru nodded. 'I'm fine, what about you?' She nodded also. They looked around to find that Ken had grabbed Miyako; Taichi grabbed Sora; and Yamato had grabbed Mimi. He couldn't help but smile to himself. 'How… odd.' He thought to himself. He looked down at Hikari again and blushed as he realized what had just happened. He was holding his best friend, the light of his world, the love of his life right here in his arms tightly.

'Gomen…' He said quietly. Hikari giggled lightly and gave him a hug. 'Thank you for… trying to keep me safe.' Takeru turned a deeper shade of red. 'You're my best friend. I'd do anything for you.' He said getting up, causing him to carry her up also. He then put her back down on her feet.

'Is everybody okay?' Tai questioned, taking his status as leader. 'We're all fine.'

'What was that?' Takeru asked. 'I'm not sure…' Taichi muttered. He gaped at the damage that the blow had done.

Taichi had uttered so many words that are sensitive for children's ears to hear, I can't even speak of them here. Hikari was speechless. She finally uttered, 'My apartment…'

Now that the area was open for them, they decided to go down the hallway and take the stairs to exit outside. They did so, and got out safely. Minutes later, fire trucks arrived. Half of the firemen were checking the apartment out, while the rest of them were interrogating any guests, and apartment renters that were there at the time of the fire.

'Alright folks, I would suggest you find somewhere to spend the night. We'll contact you with all the information you'll need tomorrow morning. Tonight, we'll work on finding out what may have caused the fire, how much damage was done, and all other little details. Good night everyone.' A fire man was telling everyone who lived in the apartment. Taichi, Hikari, Mr. and Mrs. Yagami, and the rest of the digi-destined who were present at the party were huddled in a circle. 'What now?' Tai asked.

Mrs. Yagami gave a great sigh and looked at the children. 'Would any of your parents mind if we stayed with you?' She asked. 'I'm sorry, I can't. My grandparents are staying over for a week or so.' Izzy said. 'I'm pretty sure my parents would say no.' Daisuke said. He was lying. This was a perfect chance for Takeru and Hikari.

Sora, Yolei, Cody, and basically everyone else shook their heads no, except for Takeru and Yamato. That was convenient. 'I'm sure my mom wouldn't mind… we have two spare guest rooms. I guess I can sleep on the couch.' Takeru said. Hikari raised an eyebrow. 'Why would you need to sleep on the couch? My parents can sleep in one room… and Taichi and I can sleep in the other.'

'I'm also staying with Takeru.' Yamato said. 'Oh…' Hikari breathed. 'You can't sleep on the couch. It's… not right.' Hikari said again. 'Well then, do you have any other ideas?' Takeru replied. Hikari shook her head. She turned to her parents.

'Hikari is right Takeru. It would be wrong to let us stay in the beds while you sleep on the couch in your own house.' Mr. Yagami began. Takeru shook his head, 'No really, it's okay. It's not like I haven't slept on the couch before.'

Hikari began to grin like an idiot. Takeru noticed this. 'What, am I really that irresistible?' He joked. Hikari blushed and looked away. 'Oh, so I am!' Takeru said. 'Hey, I never said that. For all you know I could think you were some ugly idiot.' She teased. Takeru pretended to be hurt. 'I'm appalled that you would think I'm an idiot.' Hikari giggled while Taichi and the Yagami parents discussed.

'Takeru, we'd love to stay with you. Although, we do regret that you have to sleep on the couch for the night.' Mr. Yagami said turning around. 'It's okay; I don't mind sleeping on the couch.' Mrs. Yagami smiled and gave him a hug. 'Thank you Takeru. This means so much. Are you certain your mother will let our family stay?'

'Actually, she's out of town for the week or so.'

'Oh, I see. I suppose we should ask the fire man if we could get some of our stuff, although I doubt he'll say yes.' Mr. Yagami said. He walked up to the man, and then turned around disappointed. 'He said no. It was too dangerous to go up there at this time… so I suppose we'll have to go to sleep in these clothes.'

The digi-destined were getting ready to go home. Hikari sighed. Suddenly, a feminine like creature stood in front of her. 'Gatomon! Are you okay?' Hikari asked picking up the digimon and cradled her in her arms. Gatomon nodded. 'What happened?' The cat asked. Tai scratched the back of his neck. 'I think there was a fire of some kind, and then there was an explosion. The authorities are researching it; and for now we're staying at Takeru's house.' Tai explained.

'Oh… so that's what the water works and the loud BOOM were for.' Gatomon said chuckling. Tai nodded. Inside, Hikari was about to explode. You got to spend the night at Takeru's! This would be great. It could be for the night, or it could be for a while. Who knows? All she knew was that this was going to be an exciting summer. She walked along the side walk as the night settled in. She headed off toward Takeru's house along with Taichi, her parents, and Takeru. The other digi-destined walked home and agreed to reschedule the party until another time.

I'm so sorry this is so short. I just needed something to build up to the next chapter. And sorry it took me so long to update. Fan fiction was being mean and didn't let me log in.):
