Thanks to everyone who has read this so far and please review.

Chapter 7

The next day at school Davis had texted everyone and told them all to meet at lunch time so they could speak to Yolie and find out how she got on while meeting with Ken.

"Hurry up Yolie," Cody said as him, Davis, TK ad Kari sat waiting for Yolie to come.

A few minutes later Yolie finally arrived, "Sorry I got held up," she said as she sat down.

"So how did it go with Ken then?" Kari asked.

"It went really well," Yolie replied.

"So did he say anything?" TK asked.

"Well yeah but he asked me to just keep it to myself and not tell you guys. But what I can say is that it is nothing big and nothing for us to be worried about," Yolie replied.

"Okay but is he going to hang out with us more then and stop shutting us out?" Davis asked.

"Yeah he said that he knows you guys are his friends and he does appreciate you all but it is strange for him to have all these friends and he's adjusting to it. He isn't use to having loads of people fuss over him so when we do fuss over him he doesn't really know how to handle it and he just ends up shutting us out. But he said if he ever wants to talk he knows he can come find any of us and we'll listen and be there for him," Yolie replied.

"Maybe we are just overly worrying about him. I mean he does live out of town and he has never had friends before so he doesn't rely on them the same way we do and he is a lot more independent," Kari said.

"Well if he is happy talking to Yolie right now then at least we can all be at ease and know that he is at least talking to someone and everything is fine, "Cody added.

"Well hopefully that is all sorted and Ken will hang with us more often," Davis said, "But I better go I have soccer practise this lunch," Davis said as he got up and left.

"I have to go as well," TK said as he got up to leave, "I said I would help tutor a younger pupil in maths".

"Davis complains about Ken not hanging with is yet he always seems to disappear to soccer practice," Yolie commented.

"I know. Is there even soccer practice on today?" Cody asked.

"Well I don't think it is official practice but a lot of the players always have a kick about at school during breaks and stuff," Kari replied.

"So really if he wanted to he could still stay here and hang with us?" Cody asked.

"Yeah I suppose but the extra practice will increase the chances of the soccer team winning more competitions," Kari replied.

Cody was concerned as he felt that the digidestined's didn't spend enough time together anymore and they seemed to be growing apart. He knew that it was even worse for the older digidestined's and they seen even less of each other.

After school Cody met with Joe as he looked up to Joe and wanted to discuss his concerns with Joe.

"What's up?" Joe asked.

"I'm just concerned about us all growing apart because it seems that we spend less and less time together as a group and I hear that you older ones see even less of each other than us younger ones," Cody said to Joe.

"Yeah that's true to be honest I didn't even see Tai, Matt, Izzy, Sora or Mimi at school today and we all go to the same school it is pretty bad," Joe said as he realised that Cody was right.

"Well today Davis called a meeting so we were all together then but after about ten minutes Davis disappeared to play soccer and TK left because he had to tutor a younger pupil in the school," Cody explained.

"You have to remember though you may all be digidestined's but you all have your own lives to live as well. I suppose right now is a good time to just chill and do fun things because right now we don't have to worry about saving the world or anything," Joe said, "Like Davis wants to play soccer. Remember as well that before you guys became involved with the digimon you weren't all friends. Like you weren't friends with Davis he had other friends and so did you so just don't forget about those other friends but also don't forget about the other digidestined's".

"Maybe you are right," Cody replied, "I might just be over worrying,"

"No you are right as well Cody I mean I think I get to caught up in studying that I forget to see Tai and Matt and all the others and we do need to stay close as a team," Joe replied.

"I just have this gut feeling that like something bad is going to happen and if we're not strong as a team and ready for it to happen then we'll be beaten," Cody said as he worried about any future enemies.

"Yeah you are right we need to make sure that everyone remains close and that we all like meet up once a week at least or something like that," Joe said as he agreed that it was best that they remained tight as a team.

There was a knock at the door and it was Izzy here to see Joe.

"Hey what brings you here?" Joe asked.

"Nothing really I just wanted to make sure everything was ok with you I haven't seen you theses last few days at school," Izzy said.

"That's nice of you to come some see me," Joe smiled. Although Joe agreed with Cody he knew that he was really guilty for not making enough of an effort with the others as he was always too busy stressing over his exams and feeling under too much pressure so that he would get into medicine school.

"Cody was just discussing his concerns as we all seem to spread out as a group these days and we need to stay strong as a team in case of any future enemies or anything that may come in the future when we least expect it," Joe said.

"Yeah you're right Cody. I would say that right now we are pretty close as a team. Maybe not a close as we could be but at least everyone still speaks," Izzy replied.

"Well I better go. I promised my mom that I would be home before five," Cody said before he left.

Izzy had come round to speak to Joe about Mimi. Izzy really liked Mimi and wanted to be with her but he had always had his suspicions that Joe may have had a crush on Mimi and didn't want to cause any awkwardness between him and Joe in case Joe did like Mimi.

"I can see why Cody is concerned and I do agree with him that maybe we don't spend enough time together as a team and now that Mimi is back we are all here again," Izzy said as he tried to start conversation with Joe.

"I know it is great to have Mimi back. I think her presence was really missed especially whenever we all met up it just didn't feel right without Mimi," Joe said as he expressed his happiness to have Mimi back.

"I know," Izzy agreed, "So what would you describe the relationship between you and Mimi like now that she is back?" Izzy tried to ask to see if Joe would say if he had a crush on Mimi.

"Emm well she and I are good friends I suppose," Joe replied with a slight look of confusion on his face as he wondered why Izzy was asking him that.

"So you wouldn't say that you were anything more than friends then?" Izzy felt really awkward asking Joe that.

"No we are just friends," Joe replied, "Can I just ask why are you asking me question about me and Mimi?" Joe said curiously.

"It's just because I really like Mimi and I think she is a great girl but I've always that that you had a crush on Mimi so before if in case I tell Mimi how I feel I just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't upset you in case you liked her," Izzy confessed. This was the first time he had properly confessed his feelings for Mimi to anyone.

"Well way back during out first adventure with the digimon I did have a crush on Mimi and I even sent her like valentine's card and stuff but now no I don't I see her a no more than a friend. It was just a silly crush I had a few years back, so no I wouldn't be upset at all if you told Mimi how you feel about her," Joe replied. Joe was being very honest and although he still cared for Mimi he didn't see her as anymore than a friend the same way he seen any of the other digidestined's.

"Well I hope that the truth and that you no longer do like Mimi in that way because I wouldn't want to ruin our friendship or for anything to be awkward between us," Izzy said with relieve now that he knew that Joe didn't have a crush on Mimi.

"You should ask Mimi out and let her know how you feel because I think she may feel the same way about you. She hasn't said anything to me but I can see that there is chemistry between you two," Joe said as he encouraged his friend to ask Mimi out.

"I'm just scared that she doesn't like me and that I end up ruining our friendship," Izzy said.

"Well why don't you wait until the right moment and then tell her how you feel," Joe advised Izzy.
