Here's the next chapter! I hope you like it! Please R&R!
Digimon (c) Yukio Kaizawa
Chapter Four: The Meeting
The following morning, both Henry and Terriermon awoke to the sound of a sweet piano melody coming from next door.
"Mmm… what time is it?" the bunny asked, moaning.
Henry groggily looked at his alarm clock. "Eight forty-seven," he replied, "The music is sure relaxing though."
"Yeah… makes ya kinda sleepy. Ahh… floating on clouds," the Digimon mumbled, "Yet it eases you awake."
I wonder if the person playing is Kori, Henry thought, that would explain the piano we saw yesterday. Now that I mention it, wasn't I just dreaming of her last night? He blushed, thinking, I think I have fallen for her. Man... talk about love at first sight...
"Hey Henry," Terriermon said, "I'm beginning to get hungry."
"You're always hungry," the tamer sighed in reply.
"It's not my fault you don't feed me enough," the Digimon shot back.
Suddenly, he heard a phone ring, and a few moments later, Suzie burst into his room and ran over to him.
"Henry! It's the angry kid again! He's got something important to tell you!" she shouted, making him cringe.
Henry climbed out of bed and went out to answer the phone. "Takato?" he mumbled.
"MORNING HENRY!" Takato yelled excitedly, "Guess what? I just asked Jeri out and she said yes!"
"Is that what you called to tell me at 9 in the morning?" he scowled, "Never mind. Congratulations. By the way, I've got a question since you called."
"Uh… sure. What is it?" Takato inquired.
"Is it natural to dream about the girl you… well… like?" Henry asked sheepishly.
"Well yeah. I suppose. Why? You've got a girl you like?" he guessed.
Henry, knowing he could trust Takato, told him the truth. "Yeah… It's Kori…"
"Dude, no offence or anything, but you just met her yesterday," Takato said, "So are you sure about this?"
"I know, yeah, I am sure. I just feel… attracted to her. She's easy to be around," he explained, concealing a blush, "Anyway, just don't tell anyone, 'kay?"
"If you say so, sure," Takato said, "I'll support whatever decision you make on Kori, whether I like it or not."
"Thanks buddy. I'll see you later," Henry dismissed.
"Okay. See you," Takato replied, and they both hung up.
"So…" Terriermon said, walking out of a nearby room with an evil grin on his face, "You have a crush on Kori, eh?"
Almost instantaneously, Henry's face turned beet red. "Terriermon! Were you eavesdropping?!" he shouted.
"Well… it's not my fault I have such big ears," the Digimon defended, "Ah well…" Then he started singing, "Henry and Kori, sitting in a tree!"
"Terriermon!" Henry yelled, "Don't you dare say a word of this to anyone!"
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"Er, I'll get it!" Henry shouted, running to the door. When he opened it, to his surprise, it was Kori, with a blue zip-up sweater over her black T-shirt. She held a small plastic box.
"Good morning Henry!" she greeted cheerfully, smiling warmly.
"G-Good morning, K-Kori," he stammered, a bit surprised, "It's not noon now, is it? If so, my alarm clock's wrong."
She chuckled, "No, silly. It's 9 in the morning! No, your mom called and invited me over for breakfast. She called about half an hour ago." Then she giggled slightly as she saw that he was still in his sleepwear. "Did you just wake up?" she asked.
"No. I woke up about 10-15 minutes ago hearing piano music," he replied, face flushing.
"Oh, that was me. I'm sorry if I woke you," she apologized.
"No! Not at all," he replied quickly, "You play really well. Please, come in."
"Thanks," she said, stepping in. She removed her shoes and looked around. "Nice place," she commented.
Suddenly, Henry's mom walked in from the kitchen. "Good morning, Kori, Henry."
"Good morning, Mrs. Wong," Kori greeted, handing her the box, "Here, I baked some muffins. Hope you like blueberry. Bu the way, thanks for the cake yesterday, it was delicious."
"Oh, thank you," she replied, "I'm glad you liked it."
"I'll get changed and meet you in the kitchen," Henry announced, running back to his room, in which Terriermon was sitting on his bed.
"So… who was at the door?" the Digimon implored.
"Like you don't know," Henry retorted sarcastically.
"No, really! Who is it?" he replied honestly.
"Kori," Henry told him, "Apparently my mom called her over for breakfast this morning. She's in the kitchen if you want to go, but just as long as you don't say anything about me liking her."
"Okay," Terriermon said, hopping off the bed and out of the room. He went into the kitchen and climbed onto Kori's shoulder.
"Good morning, Terriermon," she greeted.
"Morning!" he exclaimed, laughing.
"What would you like for breakfast, Kori? And I've got eggs, ham, and toast for you, Terriermon," Mrs. Wong said.
"I'll have the same, thanks," Kori replied politely, sitting down at the table.
"In that case, I'll just make all of us the same. Henry's older brother and sister left earlier for their tutoring classes, and Janyu went to meet with some old colleagues, so it's just us," she explained, "So Kori, I'm told you work with the government?"
"Uh, yeah. I manage some affairs between our world and the Digital World," Kori replied, "But since I'm still a kid, they let me take it really easily, and so right now I'm just trying to settle some personal affairs, with some help, of course. Being a Digimon Tamer isn't easy."
"Well… Henry seems to be coping with Terriermon," she commented.
"That's only when I'm not annoying him," the bunny replied, grinning widely.
"Not to pry or anything, but what's on the agenda today?" Henry's mom inquired.
Kori shook her head. "Not at all. Today, Henry, Suzie and I are heading to the park where we're meeting with the other tamers. They really want to meet and thank me for bringing the Digimon back," she explained.
"How did you do that anyway?" Mrs. Wong implored.
"In the simplest of explanations, I just sent them through a Digital Portal that would send them to the park," she answered.
"Morning!" Suzie exclaimed as she and Lopmon entered the kitchen, Henry following.
"Good morning," Kori said politely, "How are you?"
"Fine, thank you," the 7-year-old replied.
"Good, thanks," Lopmon said. Then the pair walked out of the kitchen with a tray of food each.
"I'll be right back," Mrs. Wong announced, leaving the kitchen.
Henry went and sat down next to Kori. "Where's Patamon and Gatomon?" he asked curiously.
She giggled, "Still sleeping, I suppose. I left them a note telling them where I was going to be, not to mention breakfast and muffins if and when they get hungry. I caught them watching movies on my computer in the middle of the night when I came back from a nightly patrol."
"You patrol?" Terriermon inquired.
"Yep. Afterwards I spent 10 minutes sorting put my modify cards, when I heard them," she explained, "I wasn't mad or anything. I do that myself sometimes too when I feel like it. Anyway, I just told them to get some sleep. They listened to me and returned to their room. Then I went back to bed myself."
"Did you beat up any bad guys during your patrol?" Terriermon asked excitedly.
"One," she admitted, "he tried to steal this lady's purse, not to mention try to kidnap her. Stopped him, got the purse back, and sent him running."
"Whoa. Are you okay?" Henry asked with concern.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I know some martial arts. Learned from a Digimon back in the Digital World," she answered, "I heard you know martial arts too, well… in training, anyway. Actually, I've seen your skills. You're pretty good."
He flushed in embarrassment. "Thanks. I have a great Sensei," he said.
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot!" Kori exclaimed, pulling out her deck of modify cards and selecting a specific one. She handed it to him. "This is for you. It's a Phoenix Revival card. If Terriermon is hurt to the point that his data would be erased, use that card. It will restore him back to full health. It's only useful once, and then the card will disappear. Use it wisely."
"Thank you. But don't you need it?" he inquired.
"I have more than one, and I can heal Patamon and Gatomon if they get hurt," she replied, "I can heal anyone," She pulled up her sleeve, brushing her hand over a knife wound scar and ran her other hand over it, a sad smile on her face. "Anyone except myself," she added.
Immediately, Henry grabbed her wrist and looked at her. "What happened?!" he demanded, "Did this happen when you saved that lady from the thief?"
She nodded. "He had a hidden knife, but luckily this was the only mark he made on me," she reassured, "Don't worry about me, I'm alright."
"Oh man, if I ever get my paws on him he's going to be turned into dead meat," Terriermon growled.
"Peace, Terriermon," Kori stated, "Don't worry. I scared him off not long after. If he sees me again, I know he's gonna be running."
"It looks terrible. Does it hurt?" Henry asked worriedly.
She shook her head. "I did what I could to take care of it after I got home. I didn't tell Patamon and Gatomon yet because I didn't want to worry them. They'll probably find out later on."
Tenderly, Henry ran his fingers gently over the scar, and ran his hand up her arm till it rested on her face. "I'm glad you're okay," he said, "I-I don't know what I'd-" he hesitated, afraid of telling her the truth, "what Gatomon and Patamon would do if something were to happen to you."
She smiled, her head inclined towards his touch. "Thank you," she whispered, closing her golden eyes.
I think... I love you, Henry thought, leaning closer to her, with all my heart. But I don't think I can tell you. Not yet.
Terriermon hated to break up this moment, but he knew he had to, or else Henry's mom could guess what was going on. "Um… Kori? Henry? I'm here too, you know," he pointed out.
Instantaneously, Henry pulled his hand away from her face and jerked back at the same time she pulled back and pulled her jacket sleeve back down, both blushing furiously.
"Of course we haven't forgotten you, Terriermon," Kori said, smiling.
The little bunny Digimon fought the urge to roll his eyes and thought, Yeah… sure… Henry's mom walked back into the kitchen, walking back over to the stove where the frying pan was frying.
"So… how do you like working for the government?" she asked Kori.
"It's interesting," the 14-year-old answered, "All of my co-workers are really nice to me, but sometimes, it still feels… lonely… being the youngest agent. It's nice to be around others like me, such as Henry. It's the same for the apartment, it can be real lonely sometimes, even if Patamon and Gatomon are with me."
"Now you have me and the others to hang out with," Henry said, silently taking her hand.
"Thanks, Henry," she murmured to him.
Henry's mom brought over four plates of breakfast, setting one each in front of Henry, Kori, and Terriermon, and then placing the last one in front of an empty seat. "Hope you guys are hungry."
"We're starving. Thanks," they all said, picking up their forks and knives from the side of the plate.
As they ate, Henry's mom asked Kori all sort of questions. By the time they finished, it was near 11.
"Do you want some help washing up the dishes?" Kori offered as she took her plate and Henry's and Terriermon's.
"Oh, no! It's fine, I can do it," Mrs. Wong insisted.
"Nah, I'd be pleased to help," she replied, magically levitating all of the dishes and cutlery into the sink.
Henry's mom was speechless. "W-W-What was that?" she asked in awe.
"Oh yeah… I forgot to tell you," Henry said, "Kori can control air, water, and fire."
"Meaning washing the dishes just got easier," Terriermon added, as Kori summoned water from the taps and running it over the dishes, preventing the water from going down the sink.
"This is amazing," Henry's mother breathed, "And impossible."
"Nothing's impossible," Terriermon argued, "My coming here was suppose to be impossible, yet here I am. So now how should controlling the elements be a big surprise to you?"
"That's true," she agreed, "But still, it's just unbelievable. Unthinkable. I can see why you're a major asset to the government's Digimon team." She watched as the dishes began to wash themselves, and as they end up sparkling clean and dry onto the counter.
"Okay, I've got to go and check on Gatomon and Patamon now after a flight," Kori announced, as she sent her shoes over to her and out the open window, sending them back next door. "So I'll see you later. I'll be back to pick up Henry, Terriermon, Suzie, and Lopmon at noon." Then she walked over to the window and opened it further.
"Um… what are you doing?" Terriermon inquired.
"I did say I was going to be taking a flight before I was going back next door," she pointed out.
"What do you mean by 'flight'?" Henry asked suspiciously.
"Easy," Kori said, smiling as she leaped out of the window, falling.
"Kori!" Mrs. Wong exclaimed frightfully.
A few seconds later, Kori reappeared in mid-air, a pair of angel wings on her back.
"W-Whoa!" Terriermon gasped, "That's amazing! Oh wait… I already knew you could do this… huh…"
"Not to mention crazy!" Henry's mom added, "You nearly gave us a heart attack with that little stunt."
"Sorry," Kori apologized, "I didn't mean to scare you guys. You'd end up knowing sooner or later anyway."
"How did they appear?" Henry asked as he watched her beat her wings.
"Dunno. They just appear when I want them to?" she guessed.
Terriermon hopped onto the windowsill. "They just pop outta nowhere? Sounds kinda unreasonable to me."
"I guess I see what you mean. No, they appear in a flurry of white feathers," Kori said, "Anyway, I'll see you later."
"Thanks for the muffins, by the way!" Mrs. Wong called as she began to fly away.
"No problem! See you!" she shouted back as she dived into the clouds, disappearing from their sight.
Henry closed the window as Terriermon hopped back onto his shoulder.
"Nice girl," his mother commented, "I can see why you like her so much. So far, she'd be the only girl I'd allow you to date."
His face turned red. "Mom!" he exclaimed, turning to Terriermon, "What did you tell her?!"
"Don't look at me," Terriermon defended, "I didn't say a word. Momentai, Henry."
She laughed, "Don't blame Terriermon, sweetie. I kind of figured it out for myself."
"You won't tell her, right, Mom?" Henry pleaded.
"No, but you should tell her how you feel," she advised, "You never know. She just might like you back. You're handsome, but skinny as a mosquito, right?"
He blushed and averted his eyes to the floor. "Right. But how do you know I'm not making a huge mistake?"
"Honey, I know you only met her yesterday, but what is your heart telling you? Are you attracted to her?" she inquired.
The blue-haired boy nodded, his face red.
"I think he loves her," Terriermon guessed.
He didn't protest, confirming Terriermon's statement.
"This could be interesting…" the Digimon said, and Henry fought the urge the playfully hit the little guy.

At 11:55, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Suzie exclaimed excitedly.
It must be Kori, Henry thought as he, Terriermon and Lopmon followed.
"Hey Suzie. Are you ready to go?" Kori greeted, Patamon on her shoulder and Gatomon by her side.
"Of course I am!" she exclaimed.
Kori smiled at Terriermon and Lopmon, bending down to their level, patting them on the head. "Hey, you two. Are you staying out of trouble?"
"Course we are!" Terriermon replied, smiling.
She stood back up and smiled at Henry. "You ready, Henry?" she asked.
He nodded, and he and Suzie slipped on their shoes.
"We're heading out now, Mom!" Henry called.
"Okay! Have fun!" she called back.
They left the apartment and went downstairs to the parking lot.
"We're taking the bike," Kori announced, showing them to her shining black and blue motorcycle with an attached sidecar.
"Awesome!" Terriermon exclaimed.
"Cool," Lopmon added.
"Okay, Suzie, you ride in the sidecar with the Digimon, and Henry, you ride with me," Kori announced, "And don't forget to put on your helmets."
They did as they were told, and Kori sat in front of Henry, sliding on her helmet after tucking in her long black hair into a ponytail.
"Do you have your seatbelt on, Suzie?" Kori asked, and when she received a nod from her, looked at the Digimon and they nodded. Then she turned to Henry. "Hold on tight," she warned, smiling.
Blushing, he wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing himself against her back. She revved up the engine, and white steam emerged from the exhaust pipe.
"Uh… is that normal?" Lopmon inquired.
"This motorcycle runs on water, making it environmentally friendly, and it's not as loud as normal motorcycles. This is a special issue by the government. I did modify it a bit though to fit my taste," Kori explained, "Let's go."
She removed the parking brakes and drove the motorcycle out of the lot, turning it onto a main road with a whole bunch of other cars.
"You seem to be a natural at driving this," Henry commented.
"Well… I did say I had practice," she replied.
When they arrived by the park, Kori drove straight onto the grass entering the park. When a group of kids and their Digimon appeared in her view, she drove towards them, and stopped.
"Eco-friendly wheels," she told Henry, turning off her engine and setting the parking brakes, "even if I were to run over your hand under my tires, it wouldn't hurt one bit."
"You scared me for a minute there. I had no idea what you were doing," he replied, getting off the bike and removing his helmet.
She chuckled as she got off the bike, and removed her hair tie after she took off her helmet. Then she helped get the Digimon out. Henry helped Suzie out and saw the others running towards them.
"Hey guys," Henry greeted coolly.
"Dude, who's your friend?" Kazu asked.
"My name is Kori Hinagaya. I sent your Digimon back to this world," Kori introduced, "It's nice to finally meet you all."
Ryo's eyes widened. "I-It's you," he breathed.
She turned to see the 16-year-old tamer stare at her. "Ryo!" she exclaimed, jumping into his embrace.
"You've met before?" Takato inquired.
"Of course! We met in the Digital World," Kori explained, "Ryo's like the older brother I never had."
MarineAngemon flew over to Kori and hugged her. "Well, hello, hello."
"Hey, MarineAngemon. Wow, it's great to see all of you Digimon again!" she exclaimed.
As Ryo released her, Jeri walked over to her, Leomon behind her. "Are you the tamer that brought Leomon back to me?" she asked, tears in her eyes.
Kori dipped her head. "Yes, I am."
Immediately, the younger tamer tackled her in a hug. "Thank you so much!" Jeri sobbed.
Kori looked up at Leomon. The lion Digimon bowed. "I am forever in your debt, Kori," he said.
"Just promise to take good care of her," Kori replied.
All the tamers tackled her into a huge group hug, and Patamon and Gatomon played with Guilmon and some of the others.
"Humans are still so silly," Calumon laughed.
"So, how are you doing, Ai, Mako?" Kori inquired the 7-year-olds.
"Fine thanks," Mako answered.
"Thanks for bringing Impmon back," Ai said.
She pat them both on the head. "No problem," Kori replied.
Suddenly, Cyberdramon began to growl, heading towards the Hypnos building… and towards Rika!
"Cyberdramon! Calm down!" Ryo shouted, pulling out his D-Power.
"Easy there, big guy," Rika said nervously as the Digimon advanced on her.
Ryo tackled her to the ground and rolled her out of the way as Cyberdramon headed towards the other side of the park.
"Are you both okay?" Renamon demanded.
Rika groaned, "Uh… yeah, we're fine."
"Stop, Cyberdramon, stop!" Patamon yelled.
An odd gust of wind blew by, and white feathers surrounded Kori for an instant before white wings appeared on her back. She flew in front of Cyberdramon, and the Digimon stopped in his tracks, and thrashed around violently.
"Move!" Gatomon shouted to Kori.
Cautiously, Kori avoided the Digimon's sharp claws and laid her hand on his muzzle, and both of them glowed a pale blue light. Cyberdramon ceased his thrashing and calmed almost instantly.
"W-What's happening to them?" Calumon asked.
"I-I don't know!" Impmon retorted.
Ryo helped Rika up, and sighed at his Digimon partner. "Oh Cyberdramon."
"Have you seen this before, Ryo?" Kenta guessed.
"Yes. It happened once before in the Digital World. She's calming him. She's healing his inner peace of mind. He'll digivolve back to Monodramon afterwards," he explained.
"That's amazing," Henry breathed.
"I've never seen something like this before in my life," Takato added.
"Ooh… pretty light," Suzie cooed.
Moments later, Cyberdramon de-digivolved into Monodramon and Kori dropped back down to the ground, bending down to help Monodramon back up, folding her wings.
"You need to learn to control yourself," Kori chided gently, "You could have really hurt Rika back there."
As the others ran over, Monodramon looked up at Rika and said, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay," she replied.
"Monodramon!" Ryo scolded sternly, "You've got to control yourself. Or else we have to go back to the Digital World where you can't hurt anyone."
Henry helped Kori up. "Are you okay?" he inquired.
"I'm fine," she dismissed as Patamon landed on her shoulder.
"Kori, we have a visitor," he informed.
Gatomon walked over to them with a golden-brown haired man in a suit with black sunglasses; Mitsuo Yamaki.
"Nice to see you again, Yamaki," Kori greeted, and her wings disappeared in a wind of feathers.
"Right back at you, Kori Hinagaya," he retorted, removing his sunglasses, "What brings you here?"
"Certainly not Hypnos," she joked, chuckling, "No, I'm off on personal affairs."
"You know Yamaki?" Takato asked, a bit surprised.
"Yep. We worked together at Hypnos until I was transferred to manage other things," Kori explained. Then she turned back to Yamaki. "I'm maintaining a permanent residence at the moment. Call me up if there are issues with Hypnos that I should know about."
"Very well. I suspect you will be returning to the Digital World soon?" the government agent guessed.
Kori smiled. "You know me well, Yamaki. Yes, I will, but not for a while. I still have one of your comm. devices, by the way," she replied.
"So you did take one of them," he accused.
"Of course," she replied, shrugging, "You never know when you need to make contact with the real world if you end up in the digital one."
Yamaki's gaze fell upon the others, then returned his attention to her, smiling. "I'll see you later."
"See you," Kori called as he left.
"Where did you see him?" Rika asked Gatomon curiously.
"Behind a tree," the cat replied.
"Now, I've got a surprise for all of you," Kori announced, "As you all know, Spring Break is two weeks away, and I'm inviting all of you to come with me away to the island of Okinawa."
"Hey! I've been to the underground ruins there before!" Henry exclaimed.
"My cousin lives on that island!" Takato added.
She shrugged. "Meh… coincidence, I suppose."
"Aww… I can't go," Kenta sighed, "I've got relatives coming."
"And I promised to pay a visit to my grandparents house," Kazu groaned, his hands in his pockets and kicking the grass.
"We're going to our grandma's," Ai said.
"My dad still doesn't trust me with leaving the house anymore since I disappeared for 2 years," Ryo said, "Sorry, but I think we can't all go."
"However, I think we can," Rika announced.
"I'm free, and it'll be nice to see Kai again," Takato agreed.
"We're free too!" Suzie exclaimed, hugging her brother's leg.
Takato turned to Jeri. "How about you, Jeri? Can you come?" he asked.
"I should be able to, yeah," she replied.
Ryo wrapped an arm around Rika. "Have fun without me, Pumpkin!" he told her before kissing her on the cheek, causing her to blush. Then he went over and hugged Kori, kissing her on the forehead. "I gotta go now, Kori. Sorry about the trip. Have fun! See you!" Then he ran off with Monodramon.
"Bye Ryo! Bye Monodramon!" she shouted, waving.
In truth, Henry felt a little bit jealous of Ryo's close relationship with Kori, even though it was a sibling love. Terriermon could easily guess his feelings.
"Jealous, Henry?" the Digimon whispered to him, "Why don't you just tell her how you feel and get it over with?"
"I just- " he began, then sighed, "don't know…"
"So how are we getting the Digimon on board?" Takato inquired.
"No more suitcases, that's for sure!" Guilmon complained.
Kori chuckled. "Don't worry Guilmon. I've fully booked us a Government plane, and so the Digimon can freely come on board. Leomon will probably have to de-digivolve though," Kori elaborated.
"As you wish," Leomon obeyed, "As long as I am able to protect my tamer."
Kori bent down to Ai and Mako's level, and handed them a modify card. "This is for you," she said, "It's a Heart of Kindness card, and when comes the time to use it, will turn all your love for Impmon into pure power."
"Thank you, Kori," Mako said, hugging her, as did his sister.
"We'll never forget this," Ai added.
Kori looked at Impmon. "Take good care of them Impmon."
The Digimon nodded. "Course I will! I wouldn't be a very good partner if I didn't, right?" he retorted.
Then the three left.
"Looks like it's just us left," Guardromon announced.
"Well, actually, Kenta and I got to go," Kazu said, "We're going to go shop for some awesome cards."
"Good luck with that," Kori said, "Eventually will come the day when I give you both the cards you rightfully deserve. But until then, there aren't a lot of good cards out in the market."
Rika smirked. "Yeah, you bozos aren't gonna find any lucky cards out there," she added.
"And how would you know that, Kori?" Kenta accused, "You only got here yesterday."
She pulled out two cards from her deck. "Not to brag or anything, but a Goliath card and a Dark Digivolution card. I think I'd know what I'm talking about when it comes to modify cards."
Both their mouths dropped.
"How did you get those cards?" Kazu exclaimed, "Dude, I will trade you anything for that puppy!"
"Sorry, no can do. I didn't get these through illegal ways, I tell you that," she retorted, putting them away, "But have fun card shopping, you two!"
"Yeah, fine. See you, guys!" Kenta exclaimed as he, Kazu, Guardromon and MarineAngemon left.
Jeri looked at Takato. "Well, Takato? Shall we?" she asked.
"Oh yeah. We'll see you guys later. We're going on our date," Takato announced.
"Wow. Have fun you two," Rika said.
"Thanks Rika! We will!" Jeri replied, hugging Takato's arm as they, along with Guilmon and Leomon, left the park.
Suddenly, Rika's cell phone rang, and she picked it up. "Hello?" she asked. After a minute later, she said, "Yeah, I'll be there. See ya." Then she hung up, turning to Kori, Henry, and Suzie. "I've got to go guys. That was my mom. She and my grandma are meeting me at the theatre."
"Okay, have fun!" Kori said.
"Yikes! Good luck, Rika," Henry added.
"We'll see you later," Renamon said, and the pair headed off.
"I guess it's just us now!" Suzie exclaimed, "Wherever shall we go?"
Gatomon looked towards some buildings. "We could go shopping," she suggested, "After all, we have the rest of the afternoon."
Patamon switched sides on Kori's shoulder. "Sounds good to me!"
"Maybe we can pick up lunch on the way?" Terriermon hinted.
"Terriermon!" Henry scolded.
"What?" the Digimon defended, "I'm getting hungry!"
Wow... this is the longest chapter yet... Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter (not to mention Terriermon and his comments. lol. "It's not my fault you don't feed me enough!")!!!
Please Review and I'll update! yay! :D
