Holiday Presents Chapter 2: 4th of July, a Digimon/Pokemon + Fossil Fighters Crossover fanfic

Holiday Presents

By: Aubrie1234

Today was the 4th of July in America and Mimi had invited everyone, even the digimon, over to watch a special show. She didn't say what kind of show it was, though.

"What show is so important that Mimi asked us to come over to America just so we can watch it?" Matt asked as they rode their digimon towards the Digiport for America. The others shrugged.

"Don't know. Maybe it's a show so special that you can only see it in America." Tai suggested.

"Maybe it's a cooking show." Raindramon suggested.

"Really? A cooking show? Is food all you ever think about?" Kari asked. The digimon in question blushed in embarrassment.

"No..." he answered suspiciously.

"Anyway, maybe it's something like a play. Y'know, like Shakespear." Joe suggested.

"It makes a lot more sense than a cooking show at least." Yolei answered.

"Well, I've heard that this day is supposed to be very special all across America. Maybe today has something to do with Mimi asking us to come over." Izzy put in.

"What is today, anyway?" T.K. asked.

"July 4th, I think." Ken answered him.

"Sorry to interrupt you guys, but we're here already." Sora interrupted as the digimon slowed to a stop.

"I just can't wait to see Mimi again! I haven't seen her since Christmas!" Palmon said, excited.

"We'll see her soon, Palmon. We'll also find out why she asked us to come, I hope." Tai said as they got ready to enter the Digiport and enter Mimi's apartment. Soon, they were ready and enter the TV. They soon ended up in a pile on Mimi's bedroom floor, head-over-heels on top of one another and Mimi was surprised.

"I didn't expect you would get here so quick, guys." she said as they got untangled.

"We just wanted to know why you invited us over here today. You usually don't invite us." Cody said.

"Sorry, but today is special and since the Digital World could let you guys get here quick, I wanted to show you guys an American holiday that I've come to love!"

"What holiday?" Matt asked.

"There are two names for it that I know about. One is the 4th of July and the other is Independence Day."

"Independence Day?" they all asked, confused.

"Independence Day is the American way to celebrate their separation from Britain's rule, back when the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776."

"...Mimi, I think you'll need to give us a history lesson later about all this." Kari told her senior sheepishly, "But, is there something else you wanted to tell or show us?"

"Yep! Somehow, over the years, Americans have invented Fireworks to use on this holiday, making it even more special!"

"Fireworks?" they all questioned again. Mimi sighed in exasperation.

"You'll see what I mean tonight, at the Fireworks display. New York has the best display in all of America, with Nashville a close second." she explained. Afterwords, she gave all of them a history lesson about Independence Day and then brought them to a special place outside New York, where they could watch the Fireworks in peace. She also brought out a music player with some special songs on it that she thought would be perfect for listening to during the event.

"What do the Fireworks look like, though?" Armadillomon asked.

"You'll see!" was her only answer. They all waited a while until she said it was time. Suddenly, a small ball of something was shot into the sky until it suddenly exploded into a giant shower of sparks.

"WOW. What was that?!" Davis asked, excited and amazed.

"That was a Firework. There are going to be a lot more ones than that. Some of them are even better!" Mimi said. She then turned on the music player and played Firework by Katy Perry while the explosions continued.

"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin, like a house of cards, one blow from caving in? Do you ever feel already buried deep six feet under? Screams but no one seems to hear a thing? Do you know that there's still a chance for you, 'cause there's a spark in you?

"You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine! Just own the night like the 4th of July! 'Cause, baby, you're a firework! Come on, show 'em what you're worth! Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah" as you shoot across the sky-y-y! Baby, you're a firework! Come on, let your colors burst! Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah", you're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe.

"You don't have to feel like a wasted space, you're original, cannot be replaced. If you only knew what the future holds, after a hurricane comes a rainbow. Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed, so you could open one that leads you to the perfect road. Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow, and when it's time you'll know.

'Cause, baby, you're a firework! Come on, show 'em what you're worth! Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah" as you shoot across the sky-y-y! Baby, you're a firework! Come on, let your colors burst! Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah", you're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe. Boom, boom, boom! Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon! Boom, boom, boom! Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon!"

"Amazing, Mimi! I can't believe they have Firework shows and songs like this in America!" Gomamon said, amazed, as the show went on.

"It's why I love this place so much!" she said as the song switched to Party in the U.S.A. by Miley Cyrus.

"I hopped off the plane at L.A.X. with a dream and my cardigan. Welcome to the land of fame, excess, whoa! am I gonna fit in? Jumped in the cab, here I am for the first time. Look to my right, and I see the Hollywood sign. This is all so crazy, everybody seems so famous! My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick, too much pressure and I'm nervous. That's when the taxi man turned on the radio,

"And the Jay-Z song was on. (x3)

"Get to the club in my taxi cab, everybody's lookin' at me now. Like who's that chick that's rockin' kicks, she's gotta be from out of town. So hard with my girls not around me, it's definitely not a Nashville party. 'Cause all I see are stilettos, I guess I never got the memo. My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick, too much pressure and I'm nervous. That's when the DJ dropped my favorite tune,

"And the Britney song was on. (x3)

"Feel like hoppin' on a flight (on a flight), Back to my hometown tonight (town tonight). Something stops me every time (every time), The DJ plays my song and I feel alright.

"So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song! The butterflies fly away, I'm noddin' my head like Yeah! Movin' my hips like Yeah! Got my hands up, they're playin' my song, and now I'm gonna be okay. Yeah! It's a party in the U.S.A.! Yeah! It's a party in the U.S.A.! So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song! The butterflies fly away, I'm noddin' my head like Yeah! Movin' my hips like Yeah! Got my hands up, they're playin' my song, and now I'm gonna be okay. Yeah! It's a party in the U.S.A.! Yeah! It's a party in the U.S.A.!"

"This is the best 4th of July ever!" T.K. cheered. It continued like this for quite a while afterwards, with more Fireworks and songs, until it was finally over and the DigiDestined had to leave.

"Wanna come back again next year? They'll have it again on the same day." Mimi told them.

"Sure, Mimi. This was they best holiday I think I've ever had so far." Gatomon said before yawning. Everyone was tired, but they knew they had to get back to Japan.

"Have a safe trip and Happy Independence Day to all of you."

"You too, Mimi." Palmon said before hugging her partner goodbye. They all had fun that night, and they all knew they wouldn't be forgetting the experience anytime soon.

Dear Readers, sorry this is at the end, but I have an important announcement. On Monday, July 7th, me and my family will be taking a vacation to Florida for the rest of the week. During that time, I will not be able to update. But, I will still be writing my stories. So, do not check in on my stories until the end of the week, since they won't be updated until then. So, Happy 4th of July to you all, and I will be back soon.
