A/N: Been very busy - but still writing! I always imagined Yolei and TK as gamers, and Tai definitely plays too. And yes, Tai actually is responsible about this.


Tai was busy coaching Kari through a Star Wars game – he was surprised that she had until now resisted the urge to pick up gaming from TK and Yolei, more surprised when she chose to play the Dark Side campaign path ("It's looks more interesting," she explained) – when he heard his Digigear beep.

"Pause it for a sec," he said as he checked the screen. He touched the button to answer. "Hey Joe, what's up?"

"Your partner," came the boy's irritated reply. "Agumon and all the fire types are having a 'flame off'. I've already extinguished two trees and part of the field. Can you come help me convince them all to move to the cliff, or at least come here and help me control the flames before the barn catches on fire too?"

Tai smiled a little. "Aww, why didn't they invite me?" he joked. He heard Joe groan on the other side, but Kari giggled. "I'm kidding," he answered quickly. "I'll see what I can do."

"Thanks."

There was a light beep as Joe disconnected, and Tai sighed as he pressed the button again to end his side. "You gonna' be okay for the boss fight?"

"Yeah," she smiled. "Go be responsible now."

"I am responsible," he retorted as he stood to leave.
