No. All the good titles have already been taken, and I stink at summaries. It may sound like my old Healing fic I had. But that one and this one is different.
I hope everyone is having a safe holiday!

"This is a great mall." TK said as he, Kari, Matt, and Sora walked through the mall.
"Nice and big." Sora agreed, her arm through Matt's as the two walk arm in arm. "I didn't realize it was so big."
"And if I know Mimi like I hope I do." Kari began. "She probably already tried to max out her credit cards."
TK grinned. "I'll take that bet." He looked towards his brother. "Say Matt, I heard mom mention that you and Sora are wanting to expand." His comment has both Matt and Sora blushing.
"Mom needs to stay out of it." Matt huffs. "We want to move someday, not expand."
TK shrugs. "Ok. I was just curious, you and Sora have been together for a long time now a."- He trails off when Matt does a 180, pulling away from his girlfriend and grab his brother in a headlock.
"And here we go." Sora said with a sigh.
"You listen to me little bro, stay out of it." Matt said, while keeping TK in a headlock, but the younger blonde is too busy laughing.
"TK, I told you to not mention that." Kari scolded lightly, rolling her eyes. "Even my brother won't mention it."
"Tai already knows that we're looking for a new apartment." Sora replied. "Not only is he a bottomless pit, but he's a little nosy."
Matt let go of TK, who grinned brightly.
"Well, I'm just saying. I think mom was hoping for a grand baby."
Sora blushed brightly, while a blushing Matt grabbed TK in another headlock.
"Izzy, keep up!" Mimi's voice called. Matt, Sora, and Kari turns to see Mimi walking towards them, with a struggling Izzy as he has a pile of purchases on his arms and over his head as he stumbled around while walking.
"I'm trying!"
"Sora!" Mimi beamed. "So glad I found you!" She hurried over to the four. "Matt! What are you doing to your brother?" She scolded.
"Just some brotherly love is all." Matt answered simply, letting go of his brother, who laughed as he straightened himself out.
"Well, I hope you don't min, but I need to take from you for awhile." Mimi told him. "And of course Kari too!"
"Don't keep Sora too long."
"Great!" Mimi smiled. "TK?"
"We can meet up at the food court at 1." TK smiled.
Mimi beamed. "Thank you!" She places her hands on her hips. "Now would two mind helping Izzy take everything to the car."
Sora leaned up and kiss Matt gently. "Behave." She warns, poking his chest with her finger, making him smirk.
"TK started it."
"I did start it." TK grins, Kari leaning up to kiss his cheek.
"You also behave." She scolded.
Mimi grabs her and Sora before yanking them away. "Now, pleasure is done. Let's talk about Meiko." She said as the three walk arm-in-arm. Mimi in between as they walk.
Matt grabs some boxes and bags from Izzy, and TK does the same.
"Phew, that takes half the load." Izzy sighed. "Now the fun part is gonna to find the car in the parking lot. Thanks guys."
"Not a problem." Matt grins.
"So. The question is: What side of the mall did you park on?" TK asks Izzy.

"So, where'd you want to go?" Tai asked as he and Meiko walked through town.
"You'll see." She said, she leads him around a corner, heading towards a black iron gate.
"The cemetery?" Tai asks. "Did you create a headstone for Meicoomon?"
Meiko slid her arm through his. "Come on." She pulled him towards the open gates. Tai frowns as he lets her pull him.
"Well that's sweet that you did that."
She looked down as they walk through one of the grassy paths. "That's not all that I needed to do."
Tai frowns as Meiko pulls him over to a row and they stop at one of the headstones. His frown turns to surprise when he saw the names. "Meiko." He breaths, turning to her and she lowers down to her knees.
Tai sat down next to her. "What happened?" He asks, placing a hand on her back.
"It started off as a nice relaxing drive during the evening." Meiko answered softly. "They never returned." She reached over to pluck some weeds. "I'm sorry I called you."
He shook his head. "I'm glad you did."
"I didn't mean for you to jump onto a plane."
"Well, I did." He shrugged. "You sounded so … so lost. I knew I had to come.."
"I was lost." Meiko couldn't look at him. "Alone, I didn't know which way was up or down."
"You're world shattered." Tai sat Indian style and stared at the names engraved in the headstone.
"Where's Agumon?"
Tai blinked. "What?" He turns to her in surprise.
"Agumon." Meiko turns to look at him. "Where is he?"
Tai bit his lower lip, he moved his left leg to lace his fingers on his knee. "He … he's gone."
"He." She paused, blinking in surprise. She cleared her throat and turned to him. "It' my turn. What happened?"
He looked down. "It's hard to talk about, even after all this time."
Meiko took his hand. "Tai."-
"I'm ok." He told her. "Really, I am."
"Tai."
He was quiet for a long time. Finally, he took a few deep breaths. "It started when this professor Menoa Bellucci came from New York and Kyotaro Imura. Matt instantly didn't like him. They only came when DigiDestined around the world started to fall unconscious and robbing them of their Digimon and their consciousness. We thought we could trust Menoa."
Meiko turned to him completely, eyes glittering with tears behind her glasses.
"Our Digivices are powered by Infinite potential of children. Matt and I grew more quickly with our potential fulfilled. As there was a time limit on our Digivices."
"A timer?" Meiko whispered, and Tai nods.
"Once it goes." Tai paused. "Agumon and Gabumon." He stopped and cleared his throat. "Near the end, Matt finally found the truth."
"But it was too late." Meiko continued to whisper. A few tears slide down her cheeks, she squeezed Tai's hand a little tighter.
Tai shook his head. "No, we were able to stop Menoa. But at the price of losing Agumon and Gabumon. Which they wanted, they wanted to fight until the end." He was quiet for a long awhile. "And in the end, everybody was ok. And Kyotaro finally arrested Menoa."
"I'm so sorry."
He smiled. "Thanks. I know that deep down, I'll see Agumon again."
She started to speak, but jumped when his cell phone started to ring.
Tai pulled out his phone. "It's Kari."
Meiko pushed herself to stand. "I'll be over there." She pointed to a shaded tree and began to walk towards it.
Tai watched her as he opened his phone and moved it to his ear. "Hey sis."
