Chapter 13

They all applauded, I was blushing while rubbing the back of my head. "Thanks…" I mumbled. "How about we all watch a movie?" My mom suggested. "That's a great idea dear." My dad agreed, "what movie?" Rita asked. "I have an idea," my mom said as she then whispered something into my dad's ear. My dad put a DVD in while Rita and I sat on one couch and my parents on the other. The movie started to play… it happened to be a scary movie… I think I knew what my parents were planning. The look on Rita's face said it all… she did not like scary movies. She was shaking as my mom pressed play. She seemed okay for the first part but then started clinging to me later on. I grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around us. She snuggled closer to me and dove into my arms at every scary part. I was blushing like crazy especially when both my parents kept on looking over. Giving me a big smirk. Truthfully though I was happy, being with my parents and Rita… I just wish things would be like this forever. A little further into the movie I noticed that Rita had fallen asleep. I wrapped my arms around her and closed my eyes… my parents wouldn't mind right?

When I opened my eyes it was morning and the light had hit my face… I was still on the couch but I noticed that Rita was gone. She must have left last night. I heard noise in the other room my parents must have made breakfast being that I could smell it from where I was. I rubbed my eyes as I walked into the kitchen. "Morning mom, morning dad," I mumbled. "Morning sweetie," my mom replied. I opened my eyes and saw Rita sitting at the kitchen table eating pancakes. "WHA," I yelled out. "Forgot I was here?" Rita asked. "No I just figured you left," I replied. "Nope," she said as she stuffed her mouth with more pancakes. "Rita sure likes to eat." My dad stated as he sipped his coffee. Rita blushed. "It's not like it's a bad thing," my mom replied. "It's healthy," I added. Rita just sat there… until she decided to eat more. If this was an anime we would all be sweat dropping. After we finished breakfast my mom and dad said bye to Rita as we walked out the door. My mom told her to come back over as soon as possible, I was positive that they liked her. We then left for Rita and Mimi's place. However on the way we brought up an interesting topic. "I asked Tai to come over as well, I have a little plan," she then laughed. "So you know that Tai likes Mimi?" I asked. "Really he does? That's so great." She replied. "So Mimi likes Tai?" I asked. "Yep," Rita replied. "Well then this should work, what's the plan?" I asked. "Well since its Saturday we're going to see a movie and then we're going out for dinner, we will slip out of sight and one of them is bound to tell the other." Rita replied. "Sounds good," I replied. Once we arrived at Rita and Mimi's place we saw Tai standing outside the front door. "Hey," I yelled out. "What's happening Izzy?" Tai asked. "Well we just got back," I replied. "Why is Rita with you, did you two have fun last night?" Tai asked while giving us a wink. I flushed a little, "hey we only watched a movie." I replied. "Sure," Tai replied. Rita opened the door yelling out, "Mimi were here." Just then Mimi came around the corner. "Hey guys, Rita where were you last night?" Mimi asked. "Well I was at Izzy's and we ended up watching a movie till late then I fell asleep, then Izzy's parents made pancakes" Rita replied while smiling. "Oh okay," Mimi replied with a relieved look on her face. "You guys ready to go?" I asked. "Yeah where are we going?" Tai asked. "Well we were thinking of seeing a movie, then getting some dinner." Rita replied. "Sounds good," Mimi smiled. They had no idea what the two of us were planning.

We had all gone out for dinner and ended up having a great time. It was shaping up to be a really great double date. Now was the time we ditched them at the movie. Time for the skit, "Izzy I need to get something at the store, want to come with me?" Rita winked. "Yeah sure," I smiled back. "But the movie is about to start," Mimi replied. "We will be back, later guys" Rita replied as we both then took off. "I can't believe we did it," Rita laughed. "Yeah, I hope it works out for them." I replied as we continued walking till we hit the beach. "Wow the sunset is beautiful," Rita smiled. "Not as beautiful as you," I blushed as I turned away after saying my little corny line. I felt Rita wrap her arms around me, "what is it?" I questioned, "I love you…" Rita smiled as I turned to face her. "I love you too…" I smiled back as I pulled her into a kiss. "Do you want to stay here for a while?" Rita asked. "I would love to," I replied as we both then lay on the beach watching the sunset. Rita then held me down and smiled as she forced her lips on mine. Wrapping my arms around her I deepened the kiss as we continued to make out for the next little while.

Later on that night we ended up finding out that Tai and Mimi confessed and were now dating. Rita seemed more excited then ever, something about double dates… kind of girly according to Tai, but its nice to hang out with them as couples. Rita seemed to be acting a little aloof, I could tell something was on her mind but every time I tried asking her she would just smile, say everything was fine and then kiss me. School was going well, we were just starting grade 12. Tai and the others had already graduated, it was sad but we still see them all the time. Most were going off to University in Tokyo, so I guess as time goes by people move on. Either way it's nice to know that no matter what, all of us digidestind will be together forever. I can see it now; 20 years later all of us together with our Digimon and even our future children; well it's nice to think like that. Either way, when Rita is ready to tell me what's wrong I will be waiting. By now we seem to get each other's little hints. I know when she wants to tell me something and when she isn't ready to yet. I guess this is what it means to grow up.
