78. Dirty Laundry

-chapter 78, dirty laundry=

I woke up the next day feeling more rested than I had in quite a while. Phoebe was sleeping beside me with her usual level of cuteness I had just about become accustomed to once again since we reunited. Like many mornings before, and in all likely hood many mornings to come, it felt good just to hold her close in silence for a while, patiently waiting for her to wake up, which was rarely more than a few minutes after I awoke, if she wasn't already awake and waiting for me.

I knew Kitty was probably still asleep in the next room, though I couldn't see or hear for sure. I loved her too, but Phoebe was still the love of my life, and it wasn't long before my thoughts returned to her, especially when she started to squirm and show other signs of waking up, before she finally turned to face me as she usually does first thing.

"Morning baby girl." I said, prompting her to move in for a kiss.

"Goodmorning Cj, did you sleep well?" She replied.

"Better than last night, did you?" I asked.

"Mhm." She replied.

"Good." I said, genuinely happy for her.

"So what do you wanna do first today?" I asked.

"I dunno, um, we could head back to the bus and get a shower." She replied.

"Eh, why don't we let somebody else use it first so the bus can heat up some? Otherwise it will be freezing cold." I replied.

"Yeah, that's true. So what do you want to do until then then?" Phoebe asked.

"You want to play around?" I asked.

"Ok sure." She agreed.

"I guess we're still naked from last night." I said after she got on top of me.

"Mhm." She replied.

"Oh well, that just makes this easier." I replied.

"Yeah." She agreed.

"Just take it easy and wake up some more, save it for the shower." Phoebe said.

"Ok, if that's what you want." I replied.

"It is, now gimme kisses." She said, in a silly and playful manner.

"Actually you wanna try something new?" I asked.

"Like what?" She said.

"Something I learned from Kitty, that she learned from one of her exs." I said.

"Well now I'm curious." Phoebe replied.

"Sexual wrestling." I said.

"What?" She replied.

"You try to turn me on while keeping me from turning you on." I said.

"No punching, kicking, biting, etc." I said.

"Well yeah no duh." She replied.

"I'll let you teleport though." I said.

"Well it might be hard for me to concentrate." She said.

"Well, we'll consider this training then." I said.

"Mmmm, I like it. " She replied.

"Allright then, why don't we start out slow ok?" I asked.

"Mhm." Phoebe replied.

We proceeded to make out and wrestle around for a bit, just playing around. I'd pin her down and kiss her, then I'd either gradually let her pin me or she'd get impatient and teleport out of it herself. This went on until we were both getting way more aroused then we intended, and I managed to pin her once again.

"Fuck I'm hard, and your boobs are full." I said as I looked into her eyes.

"Yeah." She replied.

"And you know it will be awhile for us to get dressed just to trudge from our warm little house, through the cold snow to the likely still cold bus, just to wait in line for whoever got there before us, just to get undressed again to get in the shower just to have sex there." I said.

"Yeah, that seems silly when you put it that way." She replied.

"Sooo." I said.

"Well, you pinned me, you winned me." Phoebe said.

"I don't think that's a word." I replied.

"Yeah but still, you got the pin, so I say you win, so go ahead and stick it in." She said.

" I thought I was training you for battle not poetry." I said.

"Maybe love and war are poetry." She replied.

"Ok then let's do this." I said before we started to go at it.

-several minutes of lovemaking later-

"So Kitty taught you this?" Phoebe asked as the afterglow wore off.

"Yeah." I replied.

"She didn't scratch you in the process?" Phoebe asked.

"We used her other form. She already learned that the hard way, that's why who taught her is just another one of her exs. Barely got out of an assault case." I said.

"She probably kicks your butt at it too huh?" Phoebe asked.

"Pheebles, she doesn't look it at all, but she has the strength of a bodybuilder, it's insane." I said.

"But when she's in her other form though. Oh my god those melons." I said.

"Yeaaaah, she does have some nice ones." Phoebe agreed.

"I've always loved yours too you know." I said, not wanting her to get jealous.

"I know, I think about Kitties a lot though too." Phoebe said.

"Her boobs and your cock." Phoebe said.

"Well you two keep getting close and you'll get to have both every night." I said.

"I know, It's awesome, I'm so glad she's the one you ended up with and not somebody smarter than me." Phoebe said.

"I figured you'd rather see me with nobody." I said.

"Not for that long, you'd be miserable on your own not knowing if I was alive or not." Phoebe said.

"You never found anyone." I said.

"I kept myself busy looking for you, and it's hard to fall in love with people you control." She said.

"True." I replied.

"And there's the whole issue of anybody I'm not controlling questioning why I'm controlling so many others. How do you explain to them that you doing all of it to find the one you truly love. " Phoebe said.

"But you were probably so lonely. You never thought of letting me go?" I said.

"You didn't either, that's why you never put a ring on Kitty after twenty years isn't it?" Phoebe asked.

"True." I replied.

"Besides, we're making up for it now." Phoebe said.

"Ok." I replied.

"And you're sharing all these beautiful girls with me, so, that's helping too." Phoebe said.

"As long as you're sure you're ok with that." I said.

"I'd tell you if I wasn't you know that." She replied.

"Well um, you feel like it's time to get dressed?" I asked.

"Yeah, we could do that." Phoebe said.

"Then maybe we can go for a walk outside see if anyone else is up yet." I said as I sat up and started to gather my clothes from the floor.

"Yeah." Phoebe agreed.

"Yeah, but what about Kitty?" Phoebe asked.

"She'll get up when she gets up. She likes to sleep, surely you know that by now." I said.

"Yeah." Phoebe replied.

"But's that's fine because it means I have more time alone with you." I said as I handed her her dress.

"We really need to get our clothes washed." She said.

"You don't wash them in the shower?" I asked, since most of our group had been doing that.

"That sort of helps, but they still smell you know? You can't spin them around in the shower very well, and I think it makes them wear out faster by drying them that fast. They get so stiff." She said.

"Maybe we could see if the maker machine can make a washing machine?" I asked.

"Maybe." Phoebe said.

Several minutes later, over at the maker machines. We stared at a nicely arranged pile of parts that were apparently supposed to go together to construct a washing machine. Some thin metal sheets with lines marked on them for where to fold them. A somewhat big electric motor, some computery bits, a few lengths of wire in a few different colors, a power cable, the spinny thing that is usually inside a washing machine, a sheet of glass and various plastic pieces for the door and other odds and ends, and a plastic bag full of plastic knobs and various screws and other fasteners. We wanted a washing machine, we got a completely disassembled washing machine, and a bottle of detergent.

"Well, this might take a while." I said.

"I'm just surprised it could make one at all." Phoebe said.

"It didn't, it just made all the parts for one, it didn't even make any instructions." I said.

"Crap aren't we going to need a dryer too?" I asked.

"It'd be nice, you wanna put this together I'll put the dryer together." She said.

"Ok let's get us some tools then and find a way to get this all back to the house without losing anything." I said.

The solution ended up being to quickly throw a wagon together to take it all back to the house, which wasn't really that hard once we found all the parts we would need in the vast array of menus as well as the right tools to put it together. It was basically just a couple of axles with wheels attached to a large metal tub. We loaded all the parts up and took it back in a lot less trips than it would have been without it.

Putting those two appliances together without instructions was a bit more difficult. A manner of examining everything, finding out which holes lined up with what and what screws fit into them. Thankfully despite there not being any paper instructions, all the holes seemed to be drilled, and all the circuity was clearly marked so figuring out what needed to be wired to what was pretty intuitive. Kitty woke up after we had already been assembling things for a few minutes.

"What's all this stuff for?" She asked as she stumbled out of her room.

"It's a washing machine, or it's going to be." I said.

"I'm working on a dryer. This way everyone can wash their clothes while we're here." Phoebe said.

"Why?" Kitty asked.

"So they don't smell bad, it's getting to the point where nearly all our clothes are smelly." Phoebe said.

"Can I help?" Kitty asked.

"Ummmm, why don't you go tell everyone what we're doing so they know and they can plan on washing their clothes too." I said.

"Everyone or just the girls?" Kitty asked.

"Everybody Kitty Kat." Phoebe said.

"Ok." Kitty replied before leaning over to hug me.

"Goodmorning." She said before kissing me on the cheek.

"Morning babe." I replied before she headed out the door.

"Fuck, I love her but she'd be struggling more with this if she had instructions then we both are without." I said once she was gone.

"Really?" Phoebe asked.

"Yep." I replied.

The motor itself was preassembled, presumably because it was small enough to come out of the machine, whereas the whole appliance was too big to do so. The frame slid together into a sort of metal cube, and one of the large metal sheets folded in a manner that it could fit inside that and screw in, creating the container, the motor went below that. Another metal sheet formed the exterior. It was a boxy looking thing, but it seemed like it would work. Once it was assembled, it seemed to get water and power anomalously, similar to the shower, however, unlike the shower, the water could leave the confines of the container, thus making the drier necessary for reasons unknown.

The dryer was very similar, but didn't use water and had a heating element instead. Aside from not needing to be plugged in. It wasn't remarkable in any other way. Strangely they both had power cables that they didn't seem to need even though everything on the inside looked like it made sense, there were no "wires to nowhere" or other weird things a computer model of a machine might have. I don't know how to read a circuit board, but other than that all the wiring and other guts of the machine seemed like it would function.

"It looks like they both work." Phoebe said.

"Yep." I replied as both machines spun around happily.

"Let's go get our other clothes from the bus and throw them in." She said.

"Somebody should stay here until Kitty gets back." I said.

"Why?" Phoebe asked.

"So she won't think we ditched her." I said.

"Well then you go." Phoebe said.

"No no no no I am not leaving you two alone together, because you know what will happen, I'll come back and you'll either be at each other's throats or cunts." I said.

"Fair enough, I'll go then, but I really wish you'd have more faith in me." Phoebe replied.

"I wish I could too, but you know the reason why I don't." I said.

"Yeah I know, that's why I'm going." She said.

Aside from the obvious I was worried they would get into a fight without me around, and honestly I felt like Kitty had way more advantages in a fight than she did, mostly thanks to her being a digimon. Though they had been getting along a lot better recently.

Anyway, Kitty came back a few minutes after Phoebe left.

"Did you tell everyone?" I asked.

"Mhm. Where did Phoebe go?" Kitty asked.

"To get our clothes." I replied.

"Oh…ok." Kitty replied.

"So you finished the washing machine?" Kitty asked.

"Mhm, and Pheebles finished working on the drier and we tested them both and they seem to work." I said.

"Kitty have you ever used a washing machine?" I asked.

"No, I never wear normal clothes." Kitty said.

"Your jacket?" I asked.

"I only wear it outside because it's cold." Kitty said.

"What about your bikini?" I asked.

"That was a one-time thing." She replied.

"Awwwe, but you're a natural bikini babe in your other form." I said.

"Not this form?" She asked.

"I know you hate getting water on your fur." I said.

"What's that have to do with anything?" She asked.

"Nevermind." I replied.

"No, I wanna know." She said.

"You don't like to be anywhere near water in this form so you really don't need to wear a bikini do you?" I said.

"I don't like to be anywhere near water at all." She replied.

"But your other form doesn't even have fur." I said.

"Water still feels bad on my wings." Kitty said.

"You didn't mind the hot tubs a couple days ago." I said.

"Yeah well, I put up with it, for you." She said.

"And you can't even fly, you don't even use your wings. " I said.

"Because then I'd look like a bug, and bugs are gross." Kitty replied.

"That's the reason? Really? Have you ever even tried?" I asked.

"If I even can I just don't know how ok? I was never a flying digimon before." Kitty said.

"Fair enough." I replied.

"And I can use them, I can wrap them around you and protect you from things." Kitty said.

"Are they bullet proof?" I asked.

"I don't know." Kitty said.

"Can we test them?" I asked.

"Ok." Kitty replied before digivolving and immediately pulling me close to her with her wings and then later her arms as well.

"See they can help me hold you." She replied.

"This isn't what I had in mind." I said.

I said as my head was smothered by her rather impressive cleavage.

"What did you have in mind?" She asked as she let me go.

"Well we'd have to go outside first, shoot you in the wing and see if it goes through and heal you immediately afterward." I said.

"That sounds like it would hurt." She replied.

"Just one time, that's all we would need to know for sure, we'll heal you immediately afterwards and we already know you shrug off bullets anyway." I said.

"Kitty, if the wings you have as a Lilithmon are bulletproof, do you know the kind of tactical advantages we could have? " I asked.

"I'd rather test them this way." She said as she hugged me again.

"Really Cj? I guess I can't leave you alone with her either." Phoebe joked, as she just happened to return at that time with a trash bag full of clothes, though she had the ability to know the context of the situation.

"Um Pheebles." I said.

"Relax, I know it's not what it looks like, but it's about to be." She said.

"Huh?" I asked.

"We need to wash your clothes." She said as she started to undress me with her powers.

"Pheebles I told you to never do this again." I said.

"Eheh what are you doing sister?" Kitty asked.

"Well I did it anyway." She replied before starting to undress Kitty by unzipping her outfit and pulling it down until her breasts came out.

"Hey." Kitty said defensively as she tried to cover herself for a moment.

"Oh calm down this is going to be fun." Phoebe replied. "Now go on, pretend it was exactly what it looks like."

"You wanna "test" them again?" I asked as a stared at her now exposed chest.

"ohhh ok." She replied before doing so.

"Yeah suffocate me with those melons." I said.

"There you go that's the right attitude Cj, now go get started I'll join you after I load this machine." Phoebe said.

"I can't believe she's letting me have you again so soon." Kitty said.

"I think she's starting to like you." I replied as I fondled her tits.

"Let's take this to the bed come on." I said.

"Ok." She agreed before I led her to the bed.

"Fuck her extra hard for me when she gets in here." Kitty said as I helped her get completely naked down to her cute purple polished toes.

"Oh you know I like making her squeal." I said.

"You going to make me squeal?" She asked.

"I can try, but you've never been as loud as she can be." I said as I pulled her close.

"Well I know that for sure." Kitty replied before we started to get down to business. It took a couple minutes to strip her naked while she was in her Lilithmon form, but it was more than worth it in the end. She always smelled of perfume and her nails always looked freshly painted in purple. Like an alarming level of ultimate and mega female digimon forms, there wasn't much to not like about her body. She almost looked human except for her wings which she tended to wrap around me as we made love.

-Several minutes later-

"See Cj things are so much more fun when you play along." Phoebe said as we all snuggled together naked.

"Yeah, well as much fun as that was we shouldn't just do this all day." I said.

"I know, we'll get dressed when our clothes are ready." Phoebe replied.

"What if we get attacked before then?" I asked.

"Don't worry, I kept the ones we were wearing out just in case. And I think Kitty's would just teleport back to her if she changes form." Phoebe said.

"Allright, so we can get going then." I said.

"Yeah, but in smelly clothes." Phoebe said.

"You wanna watch the video from last night?" Phoebe asked.

"You should delete that before someone else finds it." I said.

"I will, don't worry." She said.

"I'll stop worrying when I know it's gone." I said.

"You sure you don't want to watch it first?" Kitty asked.

"I'm sure." I said.

"But she recorded it so it could be watched." Kitty said.

"That doesn't mean it should be watched, by anyone." I said.

"Think about it Kitty Kat do you want anybody outside of us three to ever see that?" I asked.

She stared at me blankly, cutely, but also stupidly for several seconds like she had no idea why that would ever be a bad thing.

"The correct answer is no and we need to diffuse this ticking time bomb before it can go off." I added, unsure if she would ever figure out how to answer that herself.

"Ok fine." She said with a sigh.

"OK then that's one and a half against one." Phoebe said.

"A half?" I asked.

"She's our virara." Phoebe said.

"What's that matter she was in the video, we all have equal rights to it. If we were arguing about what color the carpet needs to be, then she gets a half, but this is different." I said.

"It should be red." Kitty said.

"Kitty Kat, we don't even have any carpet….it's all hardwood." I said.

"Awwwe, your remembered." Phoebe said.

"You did at your other house." Kitty said.

"You mean the house I shared with you and Ronnie?" I asked after a brief pause as I wondered what the flying fuck she was talking about.

"Mhm." She replied.

"We don't have that house anymore, we sold it to buy the ship. Remember?" I asked.

"And it had cream colored carpet, it was gross. Red would've been better." Kitty said.

"That was Ronnie's idea." I said.

"Well it was a weird idea." Kitty said.

"It is kind of weird, isn't it usually grey?" Phoebe asked.

"Probably, but it comes in any color you could ask for." I said.

"What color was the rest of your house? We never got to go inside." Phoebe said.

"The living room walls were kind of a darker medium, almost metallic green, not like super dark, but darker than medium, I wanna say satin, but that doesn't really fit either. Also not metallic like it has little metal flakes in it and it sparkles when the light hits it, metallic like almost chromey, it was weird paint, both to her and to me, but with the carpet it looked allright." I replied.

"You mean like gloss?" Phoebe asked.

"No like if you took a green mirror and rubbed it with steel wool. It was very reflective, but not to the extent of a mirror, or something chrome would be." I said.

"So you wanted red carpet with green walls? Like a watmel berry?" Phoebe asked.

"NO the walls needed to be red too." Kitty said.

"You just want everything to be red." I said.

"Yeah, or maybe purple." She replied.

"That's why I never changed the house after Ronnie left. Or it'd look like the scene of a massacre." I said, jokingly.

"I see." Phoebe replied.

"Especially if I let her paint it." I said.

"What's wrong with red?" Kitty asked.

"Babe I've told you before, when the walls are red, it kind of gives a sinister vibe, also making everything one color in general is just kind of a bad idea. I said.

"And it can be confusing." Phoebe added.

"Yeah if the colors are too close you can't tell the walls from the floor." I said.

"The floor is on the ground and the walls are sideways." Kitty said.

"Yeah, but Kitty Kat, Pheebles, you know I just, kind of wanted to keep it that way as something to remember her by you know." I said.

"Mhm." Phoebe replied.

"I just really wish you could've met her Pheebles." I said.

"I wish I could've thanked her for spending her whole life looking after you." Phoebe replied.

" anyway, I wonder if we could put carpet in here?" Phoebe said after several seconds of silence later.

"Considering we'll probably only be here a few more days, it's not worth the effort." I said.

"True" Phoebe replied.

"Is there anything else we could do to the house that makes sense?" Phoebe asked.

"I don't know, you have any ideas?" I asked.

"Not at the moment. Maybe Zari can give us some more inspiration." She said.

"Maybe." I said.

'As long as she keeps her clothes on." Kitty said.

'Yeah, definitely. Those big red balloons of hers better stayed covered Cj." Phoebe teased me in agreement.

"Hmm?" I pretended I had no idea what she was talking about.

"Anyway, I guess we could put our clothes back on and check on Angela." Phoebe said.

"You know what house she stayed at?" I asked.

"I think she went off on her own." Phoebe replied.

"Yeah, but still, which house?" I asked.

"I don't know, but this place isn't that big, it shouldn't take too long to find her." Phoebe said.

"Allright we'll go do that when you two are ready to go." I said.

"Well then we're snuggling until we have clean clothes." Phoebe said.

"Don't you have to move them to the dryer at some point?" I asked.

"Yeah, but then it's right back to snuggling with my husband." She said as she huggled me.

-10 minutes later-

"Ok this is getting boring let's go do something." Phoebe said at about the time I was beginning to think the same. Kitty was asleep on my other side.

"Come on." She said as she got up and headed into the room the washer and drier were in.

"Ok." I said as I followed her.

We got dressed in the same clothes we wore before.

"What are we going to do?" I asked.

"Is Kitty asleep?" She asked.

"Yep." I replied.

"Then we can just go together." Phoebe said.

"You don't think she'll get upset if she wakes up alone?" I asked.

"Ok fine." Phoebe replied before poking her head through the bedroom entrance.

"WAKE UP FLUFFYBUTT! WE'RE GOING OUTSIDE!" She yelled.

"Really? That again? She's not even a persiamon right now." I asked as I put my coat on.

"Well she spends more time as one then as a lilithmon." Phoebe said.

"She thinks she's less intimidating that way, though her Lilithmon form wouldn't be very intimidating at all if she would just wear some different clothes." I said.

"Why do you have to be so loud?" Kitty asked as she woke up.

"Why you gotta fall asleep all the time? Anyway, get dressed." Phoebe asked in return.

Kitty changed form to quickly redress herself.

"There, I'm dressed now what?" She asked.

"Come on let's go." Phoebe said as she put her big puffy coat on.

Kitty got her jacket on and we headed outside.

"So where are we going exactly?" I asked.

"I don't know, just follow me." Phoebe said.

"Do you have any plan whatsoever?" I asked.

"Not really, we're just having some fun." She replied.

"Allright then lead the way baby girl." I said.

"Right." She agreed with a smile.

So we wandered around town for a little bit, until we bumped into Angela who was also wandering around on her own.

"Good morning, how are you?" Phoebe asked.

"Good morning, I was starting to wonder when anybody would come outside." Angela replied.

"Nobody else is out yet?" Phoebe asked.

"Nope." Angela said.

"Not even Zari or Henry?" Phoebe asked.

"Nope." Angela replied.

"Can you hear them?" I asked my beloved.

"Faintly." Phoebe replied.

"Can you tell what they're up to?" I asked.

"Yeah just be quiet for a bit." Phoebe said before closing her eyes and concentrating.

"Henry is talking to Claire about what they want to do with their house, they just got back from showering. The newbies are just waking up. No idea where ninjamon is, Zari is, I'm not going to repeat that."

"What?" I asked.

"She's not fond of me keeping you away from her, but you know it's for the best." Phoebe said.

"Yeah, I'm yours, first and foremost." I said.

"Right. Anyway I guess she's talking to Saphy about how terrible I am, and Chally is about to go outside to work on their fence. Kaytori is trying to wake IceLeomon up and Ellie is thinking about talking to Zari about their house since they haven't made much progress with it yet." Phoebe said.

"You can hear all that from here?" Angela asked.

"I can read minds, but not digimon minds for some reason. There's not a lot of metal or readable minds here so they stick out more I just need a bit to concentrate." Phoebe said.

"That reminds me, we need to go make sure Blacklillymon stays asleep." Phoebe said.

"Yeah you should go do that it's kind of important." I said.

"Right let's go, you can come with us too Angela." Phoebe said.

So we quickly went to the bus to take care of that.

"I think we told you this before, but we keep her knocked out like this because if we just destroyed her the others would go and resurrect deusmon already, but if we let her go she'll either keep trying to kill us or kill more innocent digimon." Phoebe said.

"And there's Violet, I honestly don't know where she is right now, she'll probably turn up eventually though, just leave her be, she's been pretty friendly so far, if a bit weird." Phoebe said.

"It's warm in here." Angela said.

"Yeah, people come here to take showers in the morning so the engine has been running to keep it warm, speaking of which you wanna have some fun?" Phoebe asked.

"Um….." Angela awkwardly struggled to respond.

"A third round today? Already?" I asked.

"Third?" Kitty asked.

"I played around a bit with Pheebles before you woke up. Taught her how to wrestle, like we used too." I said.

"mmmm, ok hehe. How'd that go?" Kitty replied.

"He pinned me, he winned me." Phoebe said.

"Did you let him?" Kitty asked.

"Well we kind of just got too horny to keep going." Phoebe replied.

"He's never been able to pin me unless I let him." Kitty said.

"Anyway we haven't showered yet so." Phoebe replied.

"Pheebles I'm really not feeling it right now we had enough fun this morning." I said.

"Ohhh ok. Let's just go back outside then." Phoebe replied.

"Good, I already told you I shouldn't partake in such things." Angela said, suddenly finding the courage to speak up.

"Oh, relax, Ophanimon isn't here." Phoebe said as we made our way back outside.

"Yeah, she's probably fucked a few others herself." Kitty said.

"Her? No way." Angela said.

"The goddesses have, and she's a goddess too so. I wonder how many digimon dicks have been in that tight little goddess pussy." Kitty said.

"That doesn't mean anything." Angela said.

"She is kind of right Kitty kat, that doesn't really mean much. And tone it down babe, seriously." I said.

"Mhm." Phoebe agreed.

"I know I'm right, Ophanimon would never indulge in such lewd activities and I shouldn't either." Angela said.

"Cj can I please try to get her to play with us?" Phoebe asked me telepathically.

"Yeah yeah, just not right now, since you're going to try to no matter what I say." I thought in response.

"That's not true, but thanks." She replied.

"Maybe tonight." I thought.

"Yeah, maybe." She replied.

"She is pretty cute." I thought.

"Mhm." Phoebe replied.

"Where are we going now?" Kitty asked.

"I guess we'll go see Henry and Claire. Zari just woke up mad at me today for some reason." Phoebe replied.

"You know the reason." I said.

"I know, but she'll just have to get over it, you're mine, you belong to Kitty more than her even." Phoebe said.

"You don't want to see if her house has like a full laser defence system or hell knows what by now?" I asked.

"You can go see her if you take Kitty with you. Otherwise, no I don't really want to talk to her if she's going to be upset with me." Phoebe said.

"So who am I partnering up with?" Angela asked.

"Today I'd say it would be best for you to talk to the newbies, but they're usually the last ones awake. Especially Lussy. Wait till they've taken there showers in an hour or so, then go talk to them" Phoebe said.

"Ok." Angela replied.

"Actually there's Lussy right there. What the?" Phoebe said.

"Can't talk, gotta run." She said, quickly as she passed.

"Why is she in her underwear?" I asked as she ran passed us towards the bus.

"I, uh, I don't know. I wasn't paying attention. I guess we'll just ask the others." Phoebe replied.

"I thought you said they were just waking up?" I asked.

"They were a few minutes ago, I stopped listening to them until now." Phoebe said.

We ran into Celly and Kiera a few seconds later.

"Ok girls what's Lussy doing?" Phoebe asked.

"Freezing?" Kitty guessed.

"Aside from that." Phoebe said.

"You saw her?" Celly asked.

"Yes, why is she outside in her underwear?" Phoebe asked.

"We made a bet, last one to wake up has to run to the bus in their underwear." Kiera said.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah, pretty funny right?" Celly replied.

"Yeah well maybe don't go so extreme next time? She could freeze." Phoebe said.

"Yeah maybe it is a bit extreme." Celly said.

"She's outside, barefoot, in her underwear, and there's snow on the ground." I said.

"How's she going to get back? She wasn't carrying any clothes." Kitty said.

"She has clothes on the bus Kitty, we have almost everyone's clothes on the bus, except Henry and Claire's. "I said.

"Oh." Kitty replied.

"Yeah also we heard you have a washing machine?" Kiera asked.

"Yeah but we're using it right now, ask again in an hour or so." Phoebe said.

"Ok." Kiera said.

"You can be the first in line to use it after us." Phoebe said.

"Sounds great." Kiera replied.

"Is there detergent?" Celly asked."

"Mhm, the maker machine can make that too out of orange digiroot and a tiny amount of wood. It even comes in a box." Phoebe said.

"Where's the box come from?" Selly asked.

"Probably the wood. I don't really think it makes things, I think you just put a certain amount of certain things in, that stuff disappears, and something else pops out like a video game." I said.

"But what about all the noise it makes then?" Selly asked.

"It's just auditory decoration, I don't know, but for it to be able to actually make all that stuff, there's no way it would fit in that building, it would be several square miles of factory complex. " I said.

"Maybe it makes them out of data instead of pieces." Phoebe suggested.

"That could be it too." I said.

"I don't know." Kitty chimed in.

"Nobody knows." Kiera replied.

"I'd be more worried if you did." Phoebe said.

"Yeah what all are you hiding Kitty kat?" I asked.

"Huh?" She asked in return.

"I wanna know too.?" Phoebe added.

"Yeah on second thought I'm more concerned with what you're hiding Pheebles." I said.

"Cj you know there's nothing, absolutely nothing.." Phoebe replied.

"She's not hiding from you, you're both hiding something from me." Kitty said.

"Even then you'll find out when it's time so shh." Phoebe said.

"What's your secret?" Kiera asked.

"Are you pregnant?" Selly asked.

"NO! I'll tell you if you ever need to know, but not today." Phoebe replied.

"So you are, you're just not telling us?" Selly asked.

"No! " Phoebe said.

"You realize I can't get her pregnant without certain drugs?" I asked.

"Oh. " Selly replied.

"Ok if that's not it what else could it be?" Kiera asked.

"You'll never guess so don't think about it too much." Phoebe said.

"Can we get a hint?" Kiera asked.

"No." Phoebe replied.

"Cj?" Kiera asked.

"Don't look at me." I replied.

"You know though don't you?" Selly asked.

"Yes he does but he won't tell you." Phoebe said.

"Right because my sweet baby girl doesn't want anyone else to know." I agreed as I huggled her in her big puffy coat.

"mhm." She agreed.

"So what are you going to do today?" Phoebe asked, changing the subject.

"Not sure, haven't decided yet." Kiera replied.

"We should probably go check on Lussy to make sure she made it ok." Selly said.

"Yeah, you probably should, what if she turned into a popsicle before she made it to the bus?" Phoebe asked.

"Ooh what flavor?" Kitty asked.

"Strawberry, even though that is not at all how that works." I suggested.

"Nannab berry, that really was more of a joke though than anything." Phoebe said.

"It'd be Lussy flavored." Kiera said.

"Not the worst flavor." I joked.

"Ew, Cj, really? I'm supposed to be the embarrassing one!" Phoebe asked understanding me completely.

"Well now you know how it feels." I said.

"Ok well we're going to go see Henry and Claire, you guys carry on, and if you see Zari tell her I'm not a " Phoebe said, whispering the last few words to Kiera.

"She said that?" Kiera asked.

"To Saphy yeah, I just happened to be listening at the time." Phoebe said.

"What did she say?" I asked.

"It's bad enough I don't want to tell you because I don't want you to get mad and make it worse. That's all you need to know." Phoebe said.

"Well since it's implied, I might as well get mad anyway." I said.

"NOOOO! Cj! Please just let me handle it." Phoebe said.

"Ok, not sure what you think I'm going to do, but whatever." I replied.

"Sister? What did she say?" Kitty asked.

" I'm definitely not telling you. So forget it. Come on, let's go see Henry and Claire. We'll see you later newbies." Phoebe said.

"What if we trade secret for secret?" Celly asked.

"rrrrrrr, don't you dare." Phoebe said angry and cute.

"Yeah, no." I replied.

"You're just going to make Phoebe mad." Kiera said.

"Yeah, let's go already." Phoebe said with a bit of urgency.

"Ok ok, see you girls later I guess, come on Kitty Kat." I replied.

"Coming." She replied.

"Um, do you want me to stay with them or?" Angela asked.

"Ummm, yeah why don't you? You two remember Angela right? From yesterday?" Phoebe asked.

"Yeah, it wasn't that long ago." Celly replied.

"Good, why don't you take some time today to get to know her a little better and maybe even become her partners or something?" Phoebe asked.

"Ok." Celly replied.

"Sure that sounds cool." Kiera added.

"Great, allright then come on Cj let's go before they ask more questions I don't want to answer." Phoebe said.

"So do you know her secret?" Kiera asked.

"Is it that she's not human?" Angela asked unsure.

"Um, no, we all knew that already." Kiera said, feeling defeated.

A bit later.

"Pheebles, is Zari really that jealous of you?" I asked.

"Cj you just need to spend more time with us and away from her, and we need to deal with this deusmon thing so we can get to another world or even just get home where there's more men she can meet." Phoebe said.

"We're going to need another vehicle before too long." I said.

"We'll deal with that when the time comes." Phoebe said.

"Maybe we can find our ship again." Kitty said.

"Fat chance, but it would be nice. We still have the keys so we can call it, I doubt it would hear us though." I said.

"It doesn't have ears." Kitty said.

"True, not in a normal sense, but there's not much of a chance we'll end up in the same universe in a spot where it could get the signal in a timely manner and be able to jump to our location." I said.

"What?" Kitty asked.

"Chances are we'll never see it again." I said.

"But we left the pinball machines on there." Kitty said.

"We can get more pinball machines. They exist in our universe too." I said.

"Do we even have space for them?" Phoebe asked.

"I think we might add on to the house when we get back." I said.

"How long is that going to take?" Phoebe asked.

"No idea, I think we'll just pay someone to do it for us." I said.

"Ok, if we have the money." Phoebe replied.

"Pheebles, we've been on the job for over a century, we'll have the money, if we can prove it." I said with a laugh.

"We can prove it, with your memories, if we can make it home." Phoebe replied.

"True." I said.

We made it to Henry and Claire's house without much further discussion. They were just about to head for the maker machines when we got there.

"Good morning." Phoebe said, cutely and kindly.

"What are you three up to today?" Henry asked.

"Not much, just seeing what you're up to for now." Phoebe said.

"We're just heading over to get materials to board up the windows with. We'll get that done then probably head back to making traps." Henry replied.

"How many have you made so far?" Phoebe asked.

"I don't think he is even keeping count." Claire said.

"Yeah if you go for a walk outside town take care." Henry said.

"Yeah, Kitty Kat, don't go falling in again." I said.

"She fell in?" Henry asked.

"Yeah into one of the ones we were making, that's why Angela came here actually, because I put her in the digivice because it was the easiest way to get her out of there, and her health was so low it sent a signal all the way to their magical floating sky castle or whatever it is." I said.

"So that means they work then?" Henry asked.

"Crappy way to find out, but yeah, if they hurt her that bad they'll probably kill the Icedevimon." I said.

"That's good to know." Henry replied.

"But she needs to be more careful." I said.

"Yes she does." Phoebe agreed.

"Sorry." Kitty said, embarrassed.

"You had us both really scared for you." Phoebe said.

"And our pokémon." I added.

"Yeah." Phoebe agreed as we both kind of gave her a half hug.

"Do you have any plans for today?" Claire asked.

"Not really, aside from just avoiding Zari. She woke up kind of mad and jealous at me today. I'm not sure what that's about." Phoebe said.

"Maybe I should talk to her?" I asked.

"No Cj, we already went over this." Phoebe said.

"Well then I guess, if we're not going to address that, we might add razor wire to the house." I said.

"We will?" Phoebe asked.

"Eh why not, we need something to do." I said.

"Ok, and I plan on addressing it Cj, I just want to let her cool down first." Phoebe replied.

"Do you think razor wire will be effective?" Henry asked.

"Well, every little bit helps. Though there's a chance we might not even get attacked by the time Bacchusmon's army arrives and all this will be completely pointless." I said.

"Yeah, but it's always better to be prepared." Henry replied.

"Right." I said.

"He's kind of just copying Zari." Phoebe said.

"Somewhat, but we probably won't turn it into a full blown military installation, next thing you know she'll put a giant radar dish on the roof or something." I said.

"That could actually be pretty useful." Henry said.

"Yeah, since I can't read digimon very well." Phoebe replied.

"That could get annoying though with all the constant pinging." Claire said.

"No, that's sonar, they only have that on submarines." Henry said.

"Oh." Claire said.

"It might make a humming sound though since it has to rotate around constantly to work." I said.

"Or like a constant ringing." Kitty said.

"Oh right, I forgot you can actually hear them." I said.

"She can? What does it say?" Phoebe replied.

"Absolutely nothing it's just a radio wave, she says it's like a constant high-pitched ringing. That's how radar works it shoots harmless radio waves everywhere and listens for them to reflect off of something and come back" I said.

"Yeah they ring a lot, it's kind of annoying." Kitty said.

"Imagine the houses we could build if we stayed here awhile." Henry said.

"Yeah, but, we gotta keep moving. The dark rulers aren't going to hold off on summoning deusmon forever. Plus their armies will probably find us again, eventually." I said.

"So how much time do you think we have?" Claire asked.

" I have no idea, an enemy force could show up at any time, as usual, but we shouldn't stay here any longer than we have too, once Bachusmon's army arrives, we should leave." I said.

"I can't answer that either. But they'll wait quite a while if it means getting Lilly back. So I guess we need to move, but we're not really in a hurry either." Phoebe said.

"Phoebe!" Saphy called her out as she made her way over to us.

"Oh, goodmorning Saphy what's going on?" Phoebe replied.

"Zari offered to help me train." Saphy said.

"You should take her offer she used to get paid to train people." I said.

"But she's not my tamer." Saphy replied.

"Is that why she was saying some things about me earlier?" Phoebe asked.

"No, you know why." Saphy said.

"Yeah well, he's my Cj, she's going to have to deal with it." Phoebe said as she hugged me possessively.

"But if you want to train against Kitty later? We can arrange that." She added as I awkwardly hugged her back.

"We're just going to go ahead and go to the item machines." Henry said.

"Ok, see you later." Phoebe replied.

"I want to train against you." Saphy said.

"What are you mad at me too?" Phoebe asked.

"No, but you're harder to hit." Saphy said.

"Saphy I'm not very good at fighting up close, you know that." Phoebe said.

"Well maybe you can get stronger too then." Saphy said.

"Ok, but when I say we're done, we're done." Phoebe said.

"Ok, sure." Saphy replied.

"Also do you know if Zari ever plans on using the washing machine we just built?" Phoebe asked.

"Will you let her?" Saphy asked.

"Yeah, of course, I was just wondering what time she plans to use it so I can keep Cj away from her." Phoebe said.

"I don't know." Saphy replied.

"Well the newbies called it first after us, so she might have to wait a bit if you don't mind telling her." Phoebe said.

"Ok." Saphy replied.

"And then we'll meet you back at our house and I guess we'll just take things from there." Phoebe said.

"Ok." Saphy replied before walking away.

"So where are we going now?" I asked.

"Well you want to go back home or to the machines to pick up a few things?" Phoebe asked.

"Let's pick up some razor wire I guess." I said.

"Ok" Phoebe replied

So we went over to the machines where Henry and Claire were already making some boards and hardware bits.

"Can it make like a cart or something to carry things in to make it easier?" Henry asked and he and Claire scrutinized the menu.

"Yeah we have a lot of stuff to carry." Claire said.

"We made a wagon you can borrow, it's still by our house, or you can build one yourself." I said.

"I see, how did you make it?" Henry replied.

"I'll see if I can find all the parts I used again." I said.

"I used this big metal tub for the body, four of these wheels, a u bracket to hold the rear axle, and a another for the front, the only difference is you put one bolt in the center of the front so it can turn and two in the back to hold it in place. Then I think I used this metal bar for a handle, and attached another to the end. to pull it with. It's a lot of drilling and it's not the best wagon but it's better than just carrying things by hand." I said.

"Genius." Henry said.

"Well it's just a wagon, it's not like it's a spaceship or anything. Sadly we don't have time to figure out how to make anything more advanced, Zari looked and couldn't find any pre-made vehicles at all, probably because they're too big or too complicated to come out of the machine." I said.

"Yeah, but we can build a wagon for you." Phoebe said.

"We will?" I asked.

"Mhm. Then they'll know how to make their own in the future. Besides we might need to go get ours to use for the stuff we're getting now." Phoebe said.

"Ok fine we'll just build one for you. Go get the drill and our wagon Pheebles." I said.

"Right." She replied.

Somewhere around 15 minutes later we finished making a wagon for them, sent them on their way, picked up a couple coils of razor wire, put them in our wagon and then headed back home where Saphy and the newbies were already waiting for us. I wasn't sure how many more times we would need to build a wagon, if ever, but we had some time and it was easier just to build the thing than risk upsetting Pheebles over it.

"Sorry everyone we had to help Henry and Claire make a wagon so they can move some stuff around easier." Phoebe said.

"Can we use the washing machine yet?" Selenia asked.

"Um, I'll go check." Phoebe said as she headed inside while I stayed out for a bit and tried to figure out how I was going to attach the razor wire to the house.

"You can come in." Phoebe said a few seconds later from inside the house.

All the girls followed her in except for Kitty who stayed out with me.

"You going to go in too?" Kitty asked me.

"Just a sec, we're going to have to get some staples or whatever they're called to put this stuff up there. I didn't think about it when we were there. " I said.

"Well it stopped turning so I think that means our clothes are ready to be moved to the dryer and you can put yours in." Phoebe said to the newbies inside the house.

"Pheebles I need to go get something else from the machine, ok? Keep your clothes on I'll be back in a few minutes." I said, poking my head through the front door.

"Ok, just don't get hurt." Phoebe replied.

"Yeah yeah." I replied.

"You coming with me or staying here Kitty?" I asked.

"I'll go with you." She said.

"Thought so, come on then." I replied.

"Do you need me to carry anything?" She asked.

"I doubt it, it will probably just be a single box, if it can make what we need." I said.

"We need staples?" She asked.

"Yeah, but kind of bigger than normal, to be honest I'm not sure if that's even what they're called." I said.

"What are they like normally?" Kitty asked.

"It's a little tiny piece of metal people use to hold papers together, but what we need is bigger than that and is used to attach cables and things to wood, it's like a nail but it's a u-shape." I said.

"What?" She asked.

"Look, if the machine can make them I'll show you." I said.

"Ok." She replied.

A short time later we were back at the machines, a couple minutes of scrolling the menu later, I finally found what I was looking for and had it made.

" See they're like this Kitty, you put it over the razor wire then hammer it into the side the of the building." I said.

"Is it hard to hammer in?" She asked.

"Not much more so than a nail, let's get back to the house before Phoebe gets naked." I said.

"She won't." Kitty said.

"She will if you think she won't." I said.

"What's that's supposed to mean?" Kitty asked.

Surprisingly when we got back the newbies were gone and Phoebe was sparring out front with Saphy who was now in her Oceanamon form.

"Did you find what you needed?" She asked.

"Mhm. Where'd the newbies go?" I asked.

"Back to their house, there wasn't much reason for them to just sit here and wait on their clothes, they'll come back for them later." Phoebe replied.

"Ok." I said.

"Kitty be honest did he get hurt?" Phoebe teased.

"How was he supposed to do that? We didn't see any enemies." Kitty replied.

"I'm allright Pheebles." I said.

"Good." Phoebe replied.

"Did you get hurt?" I asked.

"No, we're just sparring. That's why we're using sticks, and not her trident spear thing." She replied.

"Ok then." I said.

"Why don't you spar with Kitty?" Phoebe asked.

"I thought you didn't want me to get hurt? She can't sheath her claws nor can she remove them." I said.

"Has she tried filing them?" Phoebe asked.

"You need like a literal grinder to do that and if she heals or changes form they come back." I said.

"Then they accidently hit my hands and it hurts really bad." Kitty said.

"Yeah which boyfriend was that again when he tried to do that and you punched him with your other, still clawed hand and nearly tore his face off?" I asked.

"When did this happen?" Phoebe asked.

"I don't remember, over twenty years ago atleast." I said.

"I don't remember his name either." Kitty said.

"How did she not end up in jail?" Phoebe asked.

"because he hit her hand with a power grinder, even in alien court that's kind of hard to defend." I said.

"Oh." Phoebe replied.

"Anyway, we're just going to put this razor wire up." I said.

"Ok. Don't get hurt." Phoebe replied.

"Well I might get a few nicks, but it's no big deal." I said.

"No, you're not allowed to bleed a single drop." Phoebe teased.

"Well now you're just being ridiculous. " I said.

"Yeah, but still." Phoebe said.

"What are you going to do if I get hurt huh?" I asked.

"Saphy and I should get back to training." She said.

"No, what are you going to do Pheebles?" I teased.

"Well don't hurt yourself on purpose just to find out." She said.

"I won't, love you babe." I said.

"Love you, now get to work and let me get back to training with Saphy." She said.

"Right, come on Kitty Kat let's go get a hammer." I said as I headed to the door.

"But we don't have anything to drink." Kitty said.

"I said get a hammer, not get hammered." I replied.

"Oh…." Kitty replied.

Hanging up the razor wire kept us busy for the next hour or so while Phoebe trained with Saphy, until our clothes were finally dry and Phoebe took a break to go inside and move everything around.

"Cj come in here we have clean clothes to wear now." Phoebe said to me telepathically.

"Allright Kitty, one more staple then Phoebe wants me to come inside." I said.

"Ok, can I come too?" She asked.

"Yeah, but we're probably just going to change clothes then come back out." I said.

"Ok, but if you're not back in five minutes I'm going in." Kitty said.

"Fair enough." I replied before I finished putting in another staple, set the hammer down and headed for the door.

"Pheebles are you naked?" I asked once I got to the door, thinking she might be changing already.

"No, does it matter?" She replied.

" Somebody else could be walking by right now." I said as I entered the house and closed the door behind me.

"I don't hear anybody, Saphy why don't you go tell Zari and Chally they can bring their clothes over." Phoebe said.

"Ok sure." Saphy said before leaving.

"Well Iceleomon and his wives, Henry and Claire, ninjamon, could have been walking by or something." I said after Saphy left.

"Yeah, that's fair." She replied as she removed her dress so she could put on a clean one.

"Or Angela, or Violet." I said.

"I don't think Violet would care." Phoebe said as she stripped completely naked.

"Ehhhh, probably, still, you shouldn't just assume things." I said as she slipped some panties on.

"Your clothes are here too, you can start getting dressed." Phoebe said as she seemed to be trying to figure out what dress she wanted to wear next.

"How is Saphy's training coming along?" I asked as I started to remove my clothes that, admittedly couldn't be considered clean at this point.

"It's hard to help her with her powers since I don't really understand how they work." She said as she started to put on the dress she chose.

"Code?" I suggested.

"Yeah but, how does she feel when she uses them? How do her movements and thoughts correlate to her water manipulation? Other than that she has that trident thing, and, well I'm not good up close since I can't hypnotize digimon very well, I mean really, it'd be better for her to train against Kitty or even Zari." Phoebe said as she finished getting dressed.

"Or me?" I asked.

"No, you might get hurt." Phoebe said as she playfully hugged me.

"By your own digimon?" I asked as I put my arm around her.

"Yeah and if it happens I will chew her out appropriately." Phoebe said.

"So you're fine with her training against me?" I asked.

"No!" Phoebe replied as she squeezed me, somewhat turned to her side so she wouldn't hurt me with her psyhorn.

"Are you being serous or is this just a joke?" I asked.

"Kind of both. I really don't want you to get hurt but if you do get a few scratches it's ok really." She replied as she continued to cling to me.

"So I can spar against Saphy?" I asked.

"I'd really prefer if you didn't. Why take the risk? Especially when you know she'll learn more from sparring against Kitty." Phoebe said.

"Fair enough." I said as she looked into my eyes.

"You gonna let go of me? It's kind of hard to get dressed when you're clinging to me like this." I said a bit later.

"Oh, right, sorry Cj." She said as she let go of me.

"Maybe we'll go somewhere when Zari is here to keep you away from her?" Phoebe asked.

"Maybe I'll just go back to putting up the razor wire. I wouldn't do that to you Pheebles, besides you'll be right here too." I suggested.

"It's not you I'm worried about, it's me." Phoebe said.

"I thought you wanted me to let you handle it." I pointed out.

"Yes, and we're going to handle it, by staying away from her." Phoebe said.

"If you think that's best baby girl." I replied.

"I know it's best. I'm you're wife, not one of these girls loves you as much as I do, not the newbies, not Zari, and well, probably not Kitty, but be honest you missed me the whole time you were with her didn't you?" Phoebe asked.

"Pheebles, I missed you since we were separated." I said.

"Exactly." She replied.

"But what are you going to do when it's her turn on the bus again?" I asked.

"We'll work it out by then, just not today." Phoebe said.

"Ok." I replied.

"Shouldn't somebody show her how to use the machine though?" I asked.

"She's smart, she can figure it out, ehh, no, I'll speak to her telepathically how's that sound?" Phoebe replied.

"Ok, if that's how you wanna do things." I said.

We finished getting dressed. Phoebe transferred the newbies clothes to the dryer, and then we headed back outside where Kitty was still waiting around.

"I don't see what you're so afraid of." I said.

"Well her melons Cj, especially if she strips to her underwear." Phoebe said.

"Why would she do that? The newbies didn't." I pointed out.

"Because she wants you and she's smart enough to know that to get you she has to get me." Phoebe said.

"I thought she was mad at you." I said.

"Yeah, but she's smart Cj, you know that, but I'm smarter than her and I'm not leaving this up to me having enough self-control." Phoebe said, getting slightly emotional.

"Ok, so you admit you might have an issue." I said.

"No, because I'm dealing with this appropriately. We're moving away from the temptation." She replied.

"Are you guys ok what are you fighting about?" Kitty asked, sounding genuinely concerned.

"Everything's allright Kitty Kat." I said.

"We're not really fighting, I'm just worried about this thing with Zari." Phoebe said.

"Why?" Kitty asked.

"Because I not ready to share Cj any more than I have to with you. We were supposed to share you together, not Cj. Look Kitty what we have is working but it's complicated enough don't you think?" Phoebe asked.

"Mhm." Kitty said.

"We're not really close enough with anyone else to have another virara yet anyway." Phoebe said.

"Ok." Kitty replied.

"That's another thing, you and Zari just have feelings for each other. You don't even know if your completely compatible do you? You never lived alone with her like you have with Kitty" Phoebe said.

"True, but Pheebles" I replied, unsure of what to say.

"Come on follow me so we can stay out of her sight when she gets here." Phoebe said.

"But am I compatible with Cj?" Kitty asked.

"Not as much as Phoebe and I are, I could explain why, but it'd go over your head, but you know I love you, so don't worry about it too much ok?" I replied. In short, I enjoyed her company, but she could be a real handful at times, and never seemed to do very well on her own.

"Ok." She said as we followed Phoebe around to the backside of the house.

"We'll just wait for her here and I'll use my powers to tell her how to use the machine when she gets here, ok now back to the subject at hand. Things are complicated enough and just explaining Kitty to our kids is going to be awkward on its own." Phoebe said.

"We'll get it sorted out Pheebles, don't worry." I said.

"I know, but we really don't need anymore stuff to sort out when we get home." She said.

"Then you need to stop trying to share everyone with me." I said.

"No." Phoebe replied.

"Pheebles, you know it's true." I said.

"The only reason you and Zari are so close is cause you were boinking her behind Kitties back." Phoebe said.

"No he wasn't I knew about it." Kitty said.

"Well still, you were alone with her and Kitty for quite a while." Phoebe said.

"Yeah, you have a point Pheebles, but are you sure you don't just want me to talk to her?" I asked.

"Cj she's going to do anything she can to convince you to let her in. Me too if I try to talk to her in person." Phoebe said.

"I owe her more respect than just avoiding her Pheebles." I said.

"I know, it's going to be hard no matter what we do, she's coming over here now with Chally and Saphy, so let's quiet down." Phoebe said.

"I know, but just avoiding her is kind of more rude isn't it?" I asked.

"Cj, we'll explain it to her in time. I am fully aware we can't avoid her forever." Phoebe said.

"Just let me handle this pwease." She said cutely.

"Allright." I said.

"Ok she's getting close I gotta talk to her now so shh." Phoebe said before closing her eyes so she could concentrate on using her telepathy.

"Yeah shhhh she needs to concentrate." Kitty said.

I just quietly nodded.

"Arceus, take my hand now." Phoebe said as she reached out to grab me.

"Pheebles." I said as I was helpless to prevent her from teleporting us both away.

"Why'd you do that?" I asked after she did so.

"She was already thinking about looking behind the house for us." Phoebe said.

"Is she still mad?" I asked.

"I don't know, it doesn't matter I don't want to fight her and I can't trust myself to not be seduced by her." Phoebe said.

"You can't?" I asked.

"I know I could love her, but I don't want to share you with anyone else aside from Kitty." Phoebe said.

"You left Kitty behind." I pointed out.

"Well, she can hold her own against them right?" Phoebe asked.

-meanwhile-

"Kitty what are you doing back here by yourself?" Saphy asked as Zari sent her to look behind the house.

"I don't know, why am I back here by myself?" Kitty asked, genuinely unsure why we left her there.

"Did they leave you behind on purpose or as a distraction?" Saphy asked.

"I don't know, who is they?" Kitty replied.

"Cj and Phoebe, you were with them right?" Saphy asked.

"Yeah." Kitty replied.

"And where are they now?" Saphy asked.

"I don't know." Kitty replied.

"Do you know where they went or not?" Zari asked.

"I don't, she was here with Cj, but she freaked out and they teleported before I could figure out what she was doing." Kitty said.

"I see. Ok well, if that's how she wants to do things, why don't you just go inside and take a nap or something, we'll put our laundry in the machine and be on our way." Zari said.

"Ok." Kitty replied.

"You're not mad?" Kitty asked as Zari and Saphy headed back towards the house.

"No, just annoyed." Zari replied.

"She said you woke up mad." Kitty said.

"Yeah well, my dreams were not really helping with that. I felt that way in the morning but, it's kind of faded, where, I just don't feel it anymore. And she knows she shouldn't be reading people's minds like that, it's rude." Zari replied.

"Ok." Kitty said.

"Could you tell her that for me if she hasn't already heard?" Zari asked.

"Yeah, if I remember." Kitty said.

"Well just, do your best to remember." Zari said.

"Ok." Kitty replied.

-Somewhere further away from the house-

"Pheebles, you sure you don't just want to talk things out with her? I'll be there with you, you know I won't let you fall." I said as she seemed to be getting a lot more worried than I thought she was.

"How do I know if she even wants to talk? Maybe she wants to chew me out or seduce me?" She asked.

"Well gee I don't know Pheebles, you're the one that can read minds, you figure that out." I said.

"Arceus, you're right I should've figured that out before we teleported away." Phoebe said.

"Right." I replied.

"But I was scared and stupid and I just saw she was coming so we had to leave." Phoebe said.

"Ok well, how about we go help Henry and Claire for a bit and then maybe we'll come back and talk to her later once you've calmed down a bit if you feel like it." I said.

"Ok." She replied.

"I'll always be yours you know that." I said.

"I know, but I worry. Especially after all that time." She said as we began to head for Henry and Claire's.

"And I won't let you give in, I will drag you out of that house in your underwear if I have too." I said.

"With my boobs out?" She asked.

"If I have to." I said.

"Don't worry, I won't put you in that position." Phoebe said.

"I know, you're classier than that." I said.

"I try to be." She said.

"Unlike a certain Kitty Kat who has problems saying no to a drink." I said.

"I promise you Cj I'll never end up like that." Phoebe said.

"I know, you're a good girl." I replied.

"Kitty is good too, but she, she's not the brightest I guess is the best way to put that." I said.

"Well, it looks like they're still boarding their house up." Phoebe said a few seconds later as we approached Henry and Claire's house.

"It looks like they're doing a decent job of it." I said.

"Mhm." Phoebe replied.

"Halt! Who's there?" Ninjamon said as he popped up from a small hole he apparently dug into the ground.

"What are you doing?" Phoebe asked.

"Oh hiya, I'm making a secret base here!" Ninjamon said.

I started laughing uncontrollably at the thought of him thinking he had enough to time to build a base like the one that he came from by himself.

"You're really going to dig out a whole base down there?" I managed to ask.

"We could help him with our pokémon." Phoebe suggested, trying her hardest not to laugh as well.

"Yeah… oh hell why not? It won't be as big as the one you came from, but we can make like a room or two." I said as I started to dig through my pocket.

"Really? You're gonna help? I couldn't get those guys to help. Two rooms is fine I was only going to do one, big enough for me to fit inside." Ninjamon replied.

"They don't have any pokémon that are good at digging." Phoebe said as I got ready to send out Rocky and Rhyhorn.

"Right, come on out guys." I said as I tossed their poke'balls into the air, they came out, we explained the situation and we all started working on this plausible, but over the top idea. It was a similar concept to the spike traps but without the spikes, and a roof that wasn't designed to collapse, but after the snow reset it would be just as hidden.

Henry and Claire came out after a while to see what we were doing.

"You're actually helping him with this?" Henry asked.

" Eh, why not, it could be like a panic room or something if we get overwhelmed." I said.

"Well he could sleep out here then too." Claire said.

"Yeah, just need to make a bed and get a heater set up." I said.

"And then you guys can sleep in there together and do some things." Phoebe said.

"Pheebles." I scolded.

"That's as far as I was going to go Cj." She replied.

"Washing machine still working?" Henry asked.

"As long as Zari hasn't broken it. You can use in…well it's almost been an hour already, we should go check, you might be able to now. Come on Cj" Phoebe said as she pulled us towards our house.

"You going to talk to Zari if she's still there to move her clothes to the dryer?" I asked.

"Well the newbies should be there to pick theirs up so I think we'll be safe right?" Phoebe replied, sounding somewhat unsure.

"And we weren't with Chally and Saphy there?" I asked.

"What's she talking about?" Henry asked.

"She's worried Zari will try to come on to her in order to get to me. Either that or try to fight her." I said.

"That's ridiculous." Henry said.

"But she said some things to Saphy this morning." Phoebe said.

"What things?" Henry asked.

"She called me some things and said some mean things about me, I don't want to repeat them." Phoebe said.

"She's got you so worked up over some words she never intended for you to hear." I said.

"Yeah, but….. you're my Cj I'm not letting you go ever." She said as she hugged me tight.

"Ok ok calm down" I said.

"Yeah, everything is going to be ok." Claire said.

"Yeah, let's go back and talk this out if she's still there ok? Cause then we can stop worrying about this, especially you." I said.

"Ok, but promise me you won't give in." Phoebe said.

"I promise, but I doubt there will be much to give in to." I said. "Ninjamon we'll keep working on this later ok, we're almost out of wood anyway."

"Right, gotya." Ninjamon replied.

"You used all the wood?" Henry asked.

"There's trees outside the village, it shouldn't be too hard to get more." I said.

"Right, but that's kind of a pain." Henry said.

"Well we were going to run out eventually, but if you need them you can take a few planks out of this." I said.

"Ok." Henry replied.

"Come on Pheebles." I said as I took the lead.

We headed back to our house where the newbies as well as Zari, Chally, and Saphy were gathered around inside, making the house somewhat crowded.

"Looks like most of our group is here so this should be easy." I said.

"Either that or this will be like bachusmon's all over again.

"Oh hell no, I will drag you out of there, remember that." I said.

"With your boobs out if I have to." I added a bit later.

"By your boobs if I have too." I added a bit more later.

"Owe, no don't do that." Phoebe said.

"Don't make it so I have to." I replied.

"I won't, how am I even supposed to?" Phoebe asked.

"I don't know." I said.

"Like in what situation is dragging me out of there by my boobs going to be the best option?" She asked.

"When the rest of you is buried in pussy." I replied.

"You goofball." Phoebe said as she playfully smacked my head while we stopped by the door.

"Ok, let's do this, atleast she's dressed and doesn't sound mad at me." She said after taking a deep breath.

"Yeah, see Pheebles, you were getting yourself all worked up over nothing." I said.

"No! Not nothing Cj, I was really worried how this was going to turn out." She replied.

"Well, allright then, but I'm sure if you just open the door, it will probably turn out fine." I said.

"You're probably right." She said with a sigh as she turned the handle.

All eyes were on us as we creeped inside, except for Kitty's as she was in her room asleep even with everyone else around.

"Hi." Celly greeted us as we entered.

"Hi." Phoebe replied.

"I didn't think you'd come back until I left." Zari said.

"I heard what you said about me, to Saphy this morning." Phoebe said.

"Well, I had a really bad dream about you, and so I was mad at you when I woke up, but, as I continued to wake up I realized that the real you isn't nearly as bad as the one in my dream. You can read me, you should know by now I'm not mad at you nor do I mean you or Cj any harm." Zari said.

"I know, well, I'm very afraid of losing him, and we stilled haven't really figured out how we're going to live with Kitty yet, and we're not ready for another Virara at this time, depending on how things go, we might not ever be." Phoebe said.

"I understand." Zari replied.

"Hopefully you'll be ready some day or the next world we end up on has more men." Zari said.

"Hopefully, just don't get too attached because we'll have to keep moving, and there's only so much space on the bus. Unless you wanna stay behind with them." Phoebe said.

"Oh hell no, I'm sticking with you until you get home." Zari replied.

"Fair enough, but Cj is mine first and foremost, same goes for you newbies." Phoebe said.

"Right, ok. We can still play around on the bus though right?" Lussy asked.

"Yeah, when it's your turn again, it's Celly's when we leave." Phoebe said.

"It is?" Celly asked.

"Mhm, you'll rotate every day. That we're on the bus, anyway." Phoebe said.

"What about when it's my turn?" Zari asked.

"We'll see, you're last so it will be awhile." Phoebe said.

"So where's Kitty?" I asked.

"She's been in her room taking a nap this whole time." Zari said.

"That makes sense." I replied.

"Ok well, we got our clothes we'll see you at the fire tonight." Lussy said as her and the other newbies headed for the door.

"Ok see you then." Phoebe said.

"Am I going to get to pilot the mechanorimon?" Chally asked.

"Why don't you have Zari or Lussy teach you? Either today or tomorrow while we're still here. It's the perfect time to learn." Phoebe said.

"Zari?" Chally asked.

"Yeah, I can go show you after this if you want." Zari replied.

"Ok, cool." Chally replied.

"So you know about this morning?" Saphy asked.

"Yeah I was wondering if you were going to bring it up with me." Phoebe said.

"I didn't think you'd want to hear it." Saphy said.

"True, but you could've told me she said some things." Phoebe replied.

"I didn't know how you would react." Saphy said.

"That's fair." I said.

"It is, but butt out Cj." Phoebe said to me before turning back to Saphy.

"Look Saphy, don't be afraid to just go and tell me next time." She continued.

"Ok." Saphy replied.

"Ok, now, I guess that's it, I really thought this would be a disaster." Phoebe said.

"What do you wanna do now Pheebles?" I asked.

"I guess I should apologize to Kitty for leaving her behind." Phoebe said.

"Not the worst idea." I replied.

"I think she's asleep." Zari said.

"Oh well, I'll just wait until she wakes up then." Phoebe said.

"I can get her up for you. She sleeps a lot but she sleep pretty light." I said before I headed into her room.

"Don't get hurt." Phoebe said.

"Pheebles, I've been waking her up for twenty years." I said.

"Kitty Kat." I said softly as I entered her room, where she was curled up in bed, exactly the way I expected her to be.

"You look comfortable." I said as I caressed her back.

"You came back." She said.

"Sorry Kitty I panicked I didn't mean to leave you behind." Phoebe said.

"That's fine, I didn't think you meant to be mean." Kitty said.

"You wanna come back outside with us? We're building a secret base by Henry and Claire's." I said.

"Why? Are you gonna to spy on them?" Kitty asked.

"No, it's so if things turn to crap we have somewhere to hide, if we get attacked while we're here, that is." I said.

"Oh." She said.

"Really we're just building it because we're bored." I said.

"Okaaaayyy." Kitty replied, sounding unsure.

"So you want to come with us? It could be fun. There won't be any spikes involved." I said.

"Don't remind her of that." Phoebe said.

"He doesn't have to remind me. That hurt really bad, it might be the most hurt I've ever felt. " Kitty said.

"Yeah, you were pretty messed up. You had me worried." I said.

"Me too." Phoebe replied.

"Anyway you wanna come with us Kitty Kat?" I asked.

"Of course." Kitty replied.

"Awesome, ready to go Pheebles?" I asked my beloved.

"Yeah, I guess so." She replied.

-meanwhile-

Angela was wandering around alone when she spotted DarkVioletmon sitting on the roof of an unoccupied house, also alone, wearing the coat Phoebe bought for her and seemingly appreciating the warmth it brought.

"You're that dark digimon that's traveling with them aren't you? What have you been up to all day?" Angela asked.

DarkVioletmon looked at her for a brief moment to acknowledge her presence, but as everyone else in the group had come to expect at this point, said nothing.

"You know it's rude to just ignore me." Angela said.

"You and your goddess are the reason I was sent to the darkzone. Why should I want to speak with you?" Darkvioletmon suddenly decided to say.

"No, just part of you, and I assure you it was for good reason." Angela replied.

"Just part?" Darkvioletmon asked.

"You are corrupted by the remnants of the code of an evil digimon that must have died at some point, occasionally that code retains a sense of consciousness and manages to escape to the surface, it's the same with all dark digimon. You know this, your memories, they don't quite all add up, it's like you have two different pasts, one in the darkzone and one as a normal digimon. Maybe even clear back to whatever you were before you were sent to the darkzone." Angela said.

"I was an impmon." Darkvioletmon said.

"So you do remember, do you remember what you did?" Angela asked.

"No, I can only remember running away, from others, trying to consume my data."

"Yeah, that wouldn't get you sent there, you must have survived for quite a while down there then. Though it is rare for rookies to wind up there." Angela said.

"I eventually became a vilemon." Darkvioletmon said.

"Yep, quite a while…if you managed to digivolve, that's kind of impressive really." Angela replied.

"And then it was like I didn't have a body anymore." Darkvioletmon said.

"Something must have gotten you. Did you see it?" Angela said.

"No, it happened so fast." Darkvioletmon said.

"That happens sometimes." Angela replied.

"Then I was a lalamon." Darkvioletmon said.

"No, you wouldn't be reborn straight into a rookie form, those are memories of your other side, before you reached the state you're in now." Angela said.

"There was this cloud, I touched it, I turned into this thing and everyone else ran away."

"Yep that's usually how this happens." Angela said.

"I chased them, I couldn't help it, they looked, so delicious and I was starving." Darkvioletmon said.

"Yeah, you were in the darkzone far too long." Angela said.

"But I could never get full." Darkvioletmon said.

"Yeah and so you stopped chasing them and looked for other ways to satiate yourself." Angela said.

"Yeah." Darkvioletmon replied.

"Then I found Blacklillymon and we teamed up for a while, until I realized she didn't care if I ended up back in the dark zone if it meant she could escape." Darkvioletmon said.

"Well she is one of the dark rulers and is pure evil, so." Angela replied.

"And so I helped this group fight against her." Darkvioletmon said.

"And what happened to your hunger?" Angela asked.

"It's becoming easier to resist." Darkvioletmon said.

"Good, that means both parts of you are coming together as one, most Dark digimon don't survive this long, you might recover." Angela said.

"What happens if I do?" Darkvioletmon asked.

"You won't feel hungry anymore." Angela said.

"Will I go back to being a lalamon or an impmon?" Darkvioletmon asked.

"No, you'll stay a DarkVioletmon until you get enough data to digivolve further, but you'll feel less conflicted, you won't have to keep trying to zone out to maintain self-control, your body will forever be corrupted by the dark zone, only Ophanimon can fix that, but your mind doesn't have to be." Angela said.

"Am I doomed to go back there?" Darkvioletmon asked seemingly unsure if she even wanted to know.

"Well, it sounds like you ate all your friends, and I have no idea what you did to get there originally so if you die now, probably, but, if you don't want to go back then sticking with these guys really is your best chance." Angela said.

"I don't want to go back." Darkvioletmon said.

"Then you're doing the right thing here, by helping shut down the dark rulers you're almost certainly going to win Ophanimon favor." Angela replied.

"I need to talk to them then." DarkVioletmon said as she jumped off the roof and walked away.

"Ok then." Angela said.

A couple minutes later she showed up at our house, not knowing we were at Henry and Claire's, and knocked on the door. Chally answered.

"It's you." Chally said, somewhat surprised.

"Why are you in their house?" Darkvioletmon asked.

"We're doing some laundry? You wanted to see them?" Chally replied.

"Yes." Darkvioletmon replied.

"Um, look around Henry and Claire's if you want to find them, I think that's where they said they were going." Chally added.

"Where is that?" Darkvioletmon asked in a somewhat monotone voice.

"Head that way, first house you'll see with boards on the windows." Chally said.

With that Darkvioletmon headed off to find us without saying anything more.

"Did she really just talk to you?" Zari asked.

"Yeah I don't believe it either." Chally replied.

"Where has she been this whole time?" Saphy asked.

"She's been wandering around the village. If you look around more you might see her on occasion. But she usually just finds someplace to sit or stand, she seems to prefer rooftops, but she'll stay there for hours, doing absolutely nothing, it's weird. She's not right in the head." Zari said.

"Even more so than kitty?" Challana asked.

"No, Kitty is just an idiot, Violet is, broken. I've only seen people act like that when they've seen truly horrible things, like survivors from a destroyed star cruiser, or troops that have been withdrawn from the ground." Zari said.

"I see, so she's traumatized." Challana replied.

"I'll just say I'd hate to see whatever she saw." Zari said.

-mean while a short distance outside the village-

The building that the maker machines were housed in, which also conveniently served as a sort of warehouse for raw materials, ran out of wood, so we went outside the village to cut down some trees to get more, alongside Henry, Claire, and Ninjamon, who surprisingly wasn't doing that bad of a job at it. This meant that their house was empty at the moment.

"Why don't you send out Bulby? He could cut these trees down so fast we'd be done already." I said as Kitty aggressively clawed at the tree, she was making progress but it was taking awhile.

"Because it's cold, he could freeze." Phoebe replied.

"He'd only need to be out for a few minutes." I said.

"Yeah well, he could get sick." Phoebe said.

"Have any of our pokémon ever been sick?" I asked.

"No." Phoebe replied.

"I don't think that's even possible here because everything is digital, there's no bacteria." I said.

"Yeah but there could be bacteria already inside him that gets more powerful in the cold and makes him sick." Phoebe said.

"Bacteria slow down in the cold, like everything else." I said.

"I'm going to switch to my other form, this is taking too long." Kitty interjected.

"If you think that will help." I said.

" I think it will." Kitty said before she digivolved, causing her jacket to fall to the ground, she pressed the Nazar nail against the tree and it began to melt through it, as it does through most things, slowly, but faster than it was for her to slash through it with her claws.

"Hey it's working." I said.

"Mhm." Kitty replied.

"Kitty Kat, wait a moment, cut a "v" in it, about to here and have the point of the "v" towards us, so it falls away from us like this." I said as I kind of demonstrated the process with my hands.

"Ok." Kitty said.

"There you go, that's better. Just like a real lumberjack succubus." I said.

"Really Cj?" Phoebe asked.

"Well if she doesn't turn us into pancakes in the next few hours, I shall grant her her official lumberjack succubus license." I said.

"Hehe ok." Phoebe laughed.

"What's a lumberjack?" Kitty asked.

"It's a guy that cuts down trees for a living." I said.

"I'm not a guy." Kitty said.

"Well girls too." I replied.

"Now if Pheebles would just send Bulby out we could get some real work done." I said a bit later.

"No, I already told you I don'r want too because he could get sick." Phoebe said.

"Why don't you send Blossom out?" Phoebe asked a bit later.

"Because it's cold and I don't think she can cut them down." I said.

"Not even with petal dance?" Phoebe asked.

"Then there would be petals everywhere, and we want to make planks of wood, not toothpicks, what about your spinny things? I think I remember you taking down a few on accident before." I asked.

"Um, I can try, no promises." Phoebe said as she pulled out her digivice to get her shurikens out.

"The tree is starting to fall." Kitty said as the tree was starting to crack and lean over.

"Well get away from it then." I replied.

"Ok." Kitty said.

"Timber." I said loudly as the tree fell even though there was nobody in its path. Henry and Claire were working on another tree off to the side.

"Ok now we gotta cut it up more." I said.

"How?" Kitty asked.

"Um, well, start cutting all the branches off first, you can just cut them straight off now. You don't have to do the "v" thing anymore." I said.

"Ok." Kitty replied.

"You got one?" Henry asked as he and Claire came over to see.

"Yep." I replied.

"Let's see if this will work." Phoebe said as she closed her eyes and levitated off of the ground while several of her shurikens started to spin around her.

"Pheebles just remember to cut away from us." I said.

"Well duh Cj, if I hurt you I'd never forgive myself." Phoebe said as she opened her eyes for a brief moment before closing them again so she could focus. She picked out a tree a fair distance away and attacked it. Her shurikens eventually whittled away at it until it fell, faster than Kitty had done even about half a dozen more followed.

"Ok Pheebles I think that's enough." I said.

"Ok." She said before bringing her shurikens back to her and gracefully floating down to the ground.

"How does she do that I don't even have that much control over mine." Ninjamon said.

"She has powers, you haven't noticed that by now?" Henry asked.

"Ayeh, I see." Ninjamon replied.

"Timber." Phoebe said excitedly as she opened her eyes.

"You're supposed to say that before they fall." Henry pointed out.

"Yeah he's right, it's not very helpful after they've fallen. Anyway now we just gotta cut those up into pieces small enough to take back into town." I said.

"We should have brought our wagons." Phoebe said.

"I'll go get them." Claire replied before heading back towards the village.

"Ok." Phoebe said.

"See Cj we didn't need to risk Bulby getting sick." Phoebe said, smugly.

"Yep I see, you were right, don't let it go to your head." I replied.

"You're so much better at it than me." Kitty whined.

"Maybe, but I couldn't do that without all these spinny things." Phoebe said.

" Yeah and your powers." I said.

"Yeah they just work so well together." Phoebe said.

"I need more weapons too." Kitty said.

"Kitty kat you're doing fine, don't worry about it, besides, you gotta remember, Phoebe isn't good at close quarters at all, and your hypnosis is way more effective than hers, she can put people to sleep but she can't control huge crowds like you can." I said.

"Hey you're right." Kitty said."

"Mhm." I replied.

"Yeah he is, kind of." Phoebe reluctantly agreed.

"Anyway, come on we got a lot more work to do." I said.

We all set to work cutting the trees down to a more manageable size. Claire came back later with the pair of wagons I had assembled earlier, by then we had enough firewood sized chunks of wood to fill them pretty quickly. What we weren't expecting was that Darkvioletmon would follow her.

"Guy's she's been following me all the way back and won't tell me why." Claire said feeling somewhat creeped out.

"Did she say anything at all?" Henry asked.

"No, she just saw me and started following me, I asked her why a lot of times, but she won't answer." Claire replied.

"I don't know what to tell you, let's just see what happens." Phoebe said as DarkVioletmon made her way over to us.

"Is there a reason you followed her over here or are you just wandering around?" Phoebe asked.

"I need to tell you something." She replied, taking everyone by surprise.

"Go on." Phoebe said.

"The angewomon, she said helping you defeat deusmon is the best chance I have at staying out of the darkzone forever." Darkvioletmon said.

"Well that's good news, anything else." Phoebe asked.

"She also said that at some point I might start to feel normal again, even though my body will stay corrupted like this." Darkvioletmon said.

"That's even better news, thanks for telling us." Phoebe replied.

And with that she walked away in silence.

"You know you could be more normal if you could say goodbye or something instead of just walking away." Phoebe suggested

"And there she goes again." I said.

":Yeah, well, atleast I think I saw a glimmer of hope in there this time." Phoebe said.

"I'm still wondering how angewomon got her to say anything." I said.

"Angela." Phoebe corrected me.

"Yeah, ok." I replied.

"You think she told her the truth?" Henry asked.

"I don't think she's the type that would lie." Phoebe replied.

"Where do you think she's going now?" Claire asked.

" I don't know, maybe she'll tell Zari." Phoebe suggested.

"She'll probably find somewhere to hide until we have to leave again." Henry said.

"How could something that cute end up in the darkzone?" Ninjamon asked.

"You'd be surprised, there's lots of evil women out there." Phoebe said.

"She said something about being an impmon at somepoint." I said.

"So?" Phoebe asked.

"Was she a woman back then?" I asked.

"I don't know and I don't think she would even know." Phoebe said.

"And then she was a vilemon, which isn't very cute at all regardless of gender." I said.

"They are? Let me check the digivice I don't remember what those look like." Phoebe said.

A couple minutes later as she brought vilemon's info up on the digivice.

"Arceus that poor thing, it's so hideous. I remember fighting those things we haven't seen any in a while though." Phoebe said.

"Told you." I replied.

"Can I see?" Kitty asked.

"Yeah, I think some were working for Tactimon, if I remember correctly." Phoebe said.

"Probably I remember fighting them, I don't remember when, that was so long ago." I said.

"That is ugly." Kitty commented.

"Looks like a face a wealthy mother would pay a doctor a lot of money to fix and a poor mother would probably just give up for adoption." Henry said.

"Yeah." Claire said with a laugh.

"Do you remember Tactimon?" Phoebe asked.

"Yeah, still got his extremely overpowered sword." I said.

"That you never use." Phoebe pointed out.

"It's easier just to use a musyamon's, it's a more useable sword." I said.

Among the things it could do is cause massive earthquakes and instantly revive digimon beaten to their data cloud form. Powerful, but hard to use properly. The earthquakes were too unpredictable and the reviving part would almost never work to our advantage and would actually help the enemy more often than not. While it could theoretically be used as an actual sword, legend has it that simply unsheathing it can destroy a star, so that never sounded like a great idea either.

"True. Anyway it says here they can be either male or female." Phoebe said.

"I don't want to know what the difference is." I said.

"I think I know, I just don't want to see it, but she is cute now atleast." Phoebe said.

"It doesn't creep you out a bit that she used to look like that?" I asked.

"We never even saw her when she looked like that so how do we even know for sure? She could've been like that before either of us were even born." Phoebe said.

"Yeah, I don't know." I said.

"She's cute now that's all that matters." Phoebe said.

"If you say so Pheebles." I replied.

"Cj I know you want her." She teased.

"You know you're making that up." I replied.

"Does it matter if I am or not? They can't tell and they don't know." She said, referring to Henry, Claire, and possibly Kitty.

"We can tell when you put it that way." Henry said.

"Yeah it's pretty obvious." Claire added in agreement.

"Yeah most people wouldn't say that if they were being serious. Anyway Pheebles, you know your coat is looking pretty puffy right now." I said.

"Noooo, don't squoosh me." She said realizing what I was about to do.

"Too late. Guys, look at this thing it's like a marshmallow. It's so squishy." I said as I playfully commenced with the squooshing.

"Yeah it is." Henry said with a laugh as I teased my beloved.

"You goofball." She said as I squooshed her several more times before pulling her close.

"What are you going to do?" She asked.

"Just hold you like this because you're my sweet baby girl." I said.

"But Kitty might get jealous." Phoebe replied.

"Naaaaaaaaah, it's cute watching you squirm like that, your little arms wiggling all around." Kitty chimed.

"Well, thanks for that sister." Phoebe said sarcastically.

"Yeah she is pretty cute isn't she Kitty kat?" I asked as Phoebe closed her eyes hoping to get enough focus to teleport away from me.

"Hey, watcha doing now baby girl?" I asked as she slumped over just a bit and disappeared.

"Oh…" I replied before taking a quick look around to see where she might have gone.

"That answers that." Henry said.

"Where'd she go?" Claire asked.

"Eh, she'll be back if we just ignore her." I said.

"No I'm going to stay over here where you can't squooosh me." Phoebe said, somewhere off to the right.

"So you guys ready for this final battle against deusmon?" I asked.

"No." Henry replied.

"That's not for a while yet is it?" Claire asked.

"Well, sooner than later, once Bachusmon's forces arrive we're gonna get going, there won't be any more long stops like this because we won't need to wait anymore."

" We're not ready, but we'll do what we can." Henry replied.

"This deusmon guy, you point me at him I'll cut him into pieces." Ninjamon said.

"I doubt it will be that easy, but, sounds like you're ready anyway." I said.

Before the conversation could progress, Phoebe got tired of being ignored and teleported back in and quickly climbed onto me and wrapped herself.

"Ow, Pheebles be careful, also, get off of me." I said.

"Awwe, but I wuv you." She said before she kissed me on the cheek.

"What are you doing? Don't hurt him." Kitty said.

"It's ok Kitty kat." I said as Phoebe got off of me.

"Are you done?" I asked.

"Mhm." Phoebe replied.

"Ok then." I replied.

"Allright no sense in standing around anymore, why don't we get back to work?" Henry asked.

"Right, I'll take these wagons back over to the machines." Claire said.

"You need help?" Henry asked as the wagons were a lot heavier when loaded.

"Um, yeah actually." Claire said after trying to pull both of them at the same time.

"Right, we'll take this stuff over and back and you guys focus on cutting up the logs more." Henry said.

"Sounds good." I replied.

They took the wagons and headed back into town.

"You think you creeped them out?" I asked after they left.

"No, they like us, it just makes sense for them to take that stuff back since Kitty and I are way better at cutting these things up." Phoebe said.

"Yeah I guess so." I replied.

"Or maybe, they just wanted to go by themselves so they can mess around for a bit before coming back." Phoebe added.

"Pheebles." I said.

"What?" She asked.

"You're a weirdo." I said.

"I know, but you still love me." Phoebe said.

"True." I said.

"And I'm a mess." Kitty said.

"Also true." I replied

"And you love me." Kitty said.

"Of course Kitty Kat." I said.

"And I wish Saphy was here right now." Ninjamon said.

"She's still over at our place with Zari I think, if you want to go talk to her." Phoebe said.

"Yeah, but you guys probably need my help here don't you?" Ninjamon asked.

"Not really. Cj can stack all this stuff up well enough on his own." Phoebe said.

"Yeah." I said.

"Well, allright if you insist." Ninjamon said before walking away.

"Tell her we said hi." Phoebe said.

"What did we just do? Sorry Saphy." Phoebe said with a vague hint of regret after he left.

"I don't know, we're not going to start messing around though if that's what you're thinking, it's too cold out here." I teased.

"I know that you goofball. But still, it's nice when we can just be alone with our virara for company and he wasn't really helping us that much anyway. And he tends to stare at Kitty like a wierdo." Phoebe said.

"I don't mind it, guys stare at me all the time." Kitty said.

"That's the truth." I agreed.

"And that never bothered you?" Phoebe asked me.

"No, because I kind of halfway wanted her to find somebody else, though she never did. And she refuses to change her outfit so there wasn't much I could do about it anyway. And she can handle herself, and you know that's always entertaining." I said.

"Oh, right, you were still kind of trying to wait for me after Ronny left weren't you?" Phoebe replied.

"Well I mean, we were sleeping together, but Pheebles, my love, there really wasn't day that went by that I didn't think of you." I said.

"Awwwwe Cj. I thought about you the whole time too." She amorously replied.

"Allright we got a lot of trees to chop up so, let's get this sorted out. Kitty's already getting ahead of us" I said.

"Is that bad?" Kitty asked.

"It's looks like you're doing a decent job from here." I said.

"Mhm, you're doing great." Phoebe agreed.

"We should get back to work." Phoebe said to me.

"Yep, let's get to it then." I agreed.

It took a while to process all those trees, even with their powers, without them, it probably would have taken too long to be worth doing in the first place. In retrospect, we probably cut down way too many, not that it mattered too much as they'd all grow back in a week anyway. It was almost sunset when we finished the last wagon load, and we headed back to the village for the nightly meeting around a fire with the rest of the group that had become somewhat of a tradition at this point. Henry and Claire started working on the fire while we went to start up the bus so it could heat up a bit and we could get a shower later.

"Zari did you get your clothes out of the dryer?" Phoebe asked.

"Yeah, both those machines worked pretty well." Zari said.

"Good, so you won't have to come back to our house later then?" Phoebe asked.

"Right." Zari said, feeling a bit miffed.

"Ok well as you all know we haven't been attacked yet since we got here, which means hopefully they have no idea where we are. Or we took down so many of them, they're having difficulty assembling a sizeable force." I said.

"Or they know exactly where we are and are planning a gigantic attack." Zari said.

"Have you seen any scouts though?" I asked.

"The mechanorimon haven't seen anything." Kiera interjected.

"Yeah an all they do is look up at the sky all day." Selenia added.

"They wouldn't need to rely on scouts if they already know about this village, it's a safe guess we would stop here, and they might even refrain from sending them in order to avoid raising any suspicion." Zari said.

"But they shouldn't expect us to stay here as long as we have, maybe they already went on to check out villages further north." Henry pointed out.

"Yes but when they get far enough north that they know we can't be moving that fast, they're going to come back down here." Zari said.

"How much further north do we have to go?" I asked.

"Well, according to these old maps from those books we got from that tower a long time ago, and the map we got from bacchusmon, we only have a thousand du's to go. " Zari said.

"You translated that to Zelusian distance units?"

"Yeah just by seeing how long it takes to get from town to town at our usual speed of around 24 mph compared to the scale on the map and . . . . . . . "

"Wait wait wait wait wait wait " Phoebe interrupted. "You messed with my camera?"

"Yeah, so I could look at the map." Zari said.

"But the tape that was in there." Phoebe said.

"Yeah, I put the right one in." Zari said.

"I told you to delete that tape." I thought over and over hoping she would pick up.

"We were outside all afternoon I never got the time to do so. You think she saw it?" Phoebe replied telepathically.

"Can't you read her?" I asked.

"I don't want to, too scared." Phoebe replied.

"Look, she had to Pheebles. To be able to have figured out the map wasn't on that one." I thought.

"Did you see the video of us having sex?" Kitty asked.

"Oh god Kitty kat why you have to be so stupid?" I thought.

"Kitty I know you're trying to tell a joke, but that's not funny at all." Phoebe tried to cover, hoping she would get the hint.

"It's not?" Kitty asked.

"No." Phoebe replied.

"Kitty Kat you're such a mess." I said, also hoping she would get the hint.

"But I'm your mess." Kitty replied.

"Yes you are." I agreed.

"All I saw was the map and Phoebe talking about stuff, that's it." Zari said.

"oh ok." Kitty replied.

"You made a sex tape?" Henry asked.

"No. Kitty is just being silly like usual." Phoebe replied.

"Oh, ok." Henry replied.

"It really sounds like something you'd do though." Saphy said.

"Yeah well we didn't Saphy." Phoebe replied.

"Did she see it too?" Phoebe asked me telepathically.

"I don't know." I thought.

"Chally hasn't" Phoebe said.

"So Zari probably didn't share it with Saphy then either." I thought.

"Great, you know what that means then, we owe her one." Phoebe said to me telepathically.

"So bacchusmon's army is going to follow us 1000 du's then?" Lussy asked.

"Actually it'd make more sense if we followed them so they can get the attention of all the riff raff and then we can go straight for the remaining dark rulers. " Zari said.

"Oh, ok." Lussy replied.

"Anyway, if we allow time to rest like normal it should take us about 4 days to get there, but I'll need to readjust that for how fast the army can move. They're probably all on foot so it will probably take longer." Zari said.

"What about Blacklilymon then? Once this all starts there won't be any point in holding onto her." DarkVioletmon, who surprisingly decided to attend the meeting tonight, asked.

"We'll destroy her when the right moment comes, but we can't do it right away or they'll go ahead and summon deusmon." Zari said.

"No, wait!" Phoebe said.

"Pheebles you can't save her." I said.

"There has to be a way." Phoebe said.

"Well we haven't found one yet and we're kind of running out of dark rulers." I said.

"There's still time to find a way." IceLeomon said.

'You realize the only reason she wants to save her is so she can sleep with her?" I asked him.

"It is not." Phoebe said.

"That's one of the worst lies you've ever told." I said.

"Cj." Phoebe said, grumpily.

"So did you make a sex tape or not?" Henry asked.

"If we did why would we let you watch it?" Phoebe asked.

"Can I watch it?" Venusmon asked.

"No, because there is no tape." Phoebe said.

"Then what have you been recording this whole time?" Ninjamon asked.

"Just normal stuff for documentation reasons." Phoebe said.

"So you do have a tape." Ninjamon said.

"Yes, but not a sex tape." Phoebe said.

"What's that?" Ninjamon asked.

"Somebody wanna whisper it to him?" I asked.

"We'll tell you later." Claire said.

"OK then." Ninjamon replied.

"He acts so pervy, but doesn't understand sex." Phoebe said to me telepathically.

"Just add that to the pile of crap in this world that makes no sense." I replied.

"So what did you guys gather all that wood for?" Lussy asked.

"We're making a tiny underground base over by Henry and Claire's in case the enemy is planning a huge attack and everything goes to hell."

"Really?" Zari asked.

"Yeah, nothing fancy, just a roof and some walls, we don't have time to pour any concrete or anything." I said.

"It was all my idea." Ninjamon proudly proclaimed.

"Yeah actually it was, we just helped because we were bored." Phoebe said.

"You could always fortify your house a bit more." Zari suggested.

"Yeah well, we think it will be enough, I'm not sure how well a fence is going to keep Icedevimon away." Phoebe said.

"It will buy some time atleast." Zari said.

"How are you going to stop a mammothmon though?" Phoebe asked.

"Those traps you made, and you guys. I don't need the fence to stop them I just need it to buy some time." Zari replied.

"We built some traps outside the fence today." Saphy said.

"Did you fall in like Kitty?" Phoebe asked.

"I definitely would've told you if she did." Zari pointed out.

"Yeah I've been a lot more careful." Saphy said.

"Good." Phoebe replied.

"Yeah, don't fall in one Saphy it hurts really bad." Kitty said.

"It's the whole reason why I'm here." Angela said.

"If she falls in will more of you show up?" Henry asked the angelic digimon.

"Um no, I was the only one still up there." Angela replied.

"Oh, allright then." Henry said.

"Hey by the way Angela did you decide who you wanna hang out with or have you just been poking around all day?" Phoebe asked.

"It doesn't seem like Darkvioletmon has anyone to hang out with." Angela said.

Darkvioletmon anxiously moaned and nervously glanced at her.

"I thought you didn't like her." Phoebe said.

"Yeah well, she really doesn't want to go back to the darkzone, maybe I can save her." Angela said.

"That's what I'm trying to do." Phoebe replied.

"Then we can work on it together." Angela said.

"I'd like that, what do you think Violet?" Phoebe asked.

"I don't want to go back there." She said.

"How did she end up there in the first place?" Henry asked.

"I don't think she remembers." Phoebe replied.

"I don't remember…. it was …. a long time ago." Darkvioletmon said.

"I don't she has a house." Phoebe said.

"She can stay at mine if she wants." Angela replied.

"Which one is yours?" Phoebe asked.

"I can show you, if you want." Angela said.

"Ok sure, come on Cj let's go see." Phoebe said.

"But we're not done with this meeting Pheebles." I said.

"What else is there to discuss?" She asked.

"Aside from laundry what have the newbies been doing all day?" I asked.

"I've been hanging out with the mechanorimon." Kiera said.

"Did you learn anything new?" I asked.

"Not much." Kiera said.

"Yeah well, while she was hanging out with her robot boyfriend, Celly and I were laying traps around our house, following your lead." Lussy said.

"Ok, cool." I said.

"Ready to go now Cj?" Phoebe asked.

"Ohhh ok baby girl, if you're going to be that insistent." I replied.

"You coming Kitty Kat?" I asked Kitty, who seemed to be about ready to fall asleep.

"Ok." She replied.

So we followed her over to the house she was staying in,

"This is it." Angela said. "I didn't do any work to it, I didn't think it would matter that much."

"Ok." Phoebe said.

"Though I might need to make another bed for violet." Angela said.

"If she wants to stay here." Phoebe replied.

"I'll stay." Darkvioletmon said.

"Well ok then." Phoebe said.

"We can help you with, then we can all test it together!" Phoebe said.

"That won't be necessary, they aren't that hard to build." Angela replied.

"Awwwe." Phoebe sadly moaned.

"And also, I told you, as an angewomon I shouldn't engage in such things." Angela said.

"Ok, if you say so." Phoebe replied with a sigh. "Goodnight then."

"Goodnight, come on inside DarkVioletmon I'll show you around." Angela replied before showing Violet into her house.

"Come on Cj let's go get a shower." Phoebe said as she tugged my arm.

"What about me?" Kitty asked.

"You can wait for us outside the bus or go wait by the fire." Phoebe said.

"Ok I'll wait outside the bus then." Kitty said.

"You sure? It will be warmer by the fire with the others." Phoebe said.

"That's fine." Kitty replied.

=A minute or so later-

"Cj, you want to have some fun in the shower maybe?" Phoebe asked as we climbed on board.

"I don't know, we'll see. I was thinking before the shower, since you've been wearing those boots all day." I replied.

She sat down on the bed and motioned for me to help her with her boots.

"Ok, I'll let you play with my feet if you help me out of my boots." She said.

"Ok." I said with a laugh.

"I know that's what you wanna do." She said seductively as I got down in order to help her.

"You know me too well." I said.

I gently removed one of her boots and put my nose against the snow-white sole of her bare foot. I got a good whiff and then kissed her several times before gently sucking on her big toe.

"Yeah we're doing it out here." I said.

"Ok, but what about Kitty? Do you think she'll wait that long?" She asked as I removed her other boot and started to worship her pretty little bare feet.

"I'll play with her when you're in the shower." I said before returning to her feet.

"Ohhh, ok, you win." She replied.

We fooled around for a while then she took a shower and I brought Kitty in to play with her for a bit.

"Phoebe is ok with this?" She asked.

"Yeah, we don't want to leave you feeling left out." I said.

"Kitty he's all yours for the next few minutes." Phoebe said over the sound of the shower running.

"What did you do to make her so nice?" Kitty asked as we loosely held each other.

"She's starting to like you. " I said as I affectionately fondled her balloons.

"Ok." She said with a laugh.

"Now how do we get you in the mood?" I said as I started to unzip her clothes.

"Maybe I'm already in the mood." She replied.

"Really?" I asked.

"You didn't think I could hear her earlier? She's so loud." She asked.

"Sorry I was really trying not to be." Phoebe said over the shower, genuinely embarrassed.

"It's ok, it's just funny, and kind of hot." Kitty replied.

"Maybe we should get your boobs out first?" I said, playfully.

"If that's what you wanna do Cj, I'm all yours." Kitty replied as she presented them to me.

"Well what do you want? What would make you feel the best?" I asked.

"Just lay down." She said.

"Ok." I replied.

"Where you going with this?" I said as I layed down on the bed.

She crawled onto me a moment later.

"We wrestling? It'd not really fair if you start on top you know you're stronger." I said.

"I know, that's not what this is I just want to snuggle with you." She replied.

"That's it?" I asked.

"We'll move on to other things later." She said.

"Um, Kitty kat, you know I'm not just going to stand in here all night and wait for you to get it on." Phoebe said over the shower.

"Yeah we got time baby, but not too much." I said.

I pulled her close and kissed her and things started to progress from there.

"Yeah there's those boobs." I said after getting her breasts out.

"Yeah you gonna suck on them?" Kitty asked.

"Yeah and then your toes and then …."

I was interrupted by someone knocking on the door.

"Oh come on really?" I said wondering who it was.

"I think it's Zari." Phoebe said over the shower.

"Should I go talk to her?" I said.

"Just ignore her." Kitty said.

"It's probably about that stupid video. Let's put these back away for now, we'll make it up to you back at the house." I said as I recovered her breasts

"Awwee, come on." Kitty complained.

"I know, I don't like getting interrupted either." I said.

"Cj wait, let me get a towel." Phoebe said.

"Pheebles, just stay in the shower its fine." I said.

"Ok." Phoebe replied.

I reluctantly got up and headed to the door.

"What's going on Zari?" I asked.

"I know about the video." She said.

"Figured as much." I replied.

"What are you going to blackmail us or?" I asked.

"N-no never." She replied.

"Then what?" I replied.

"Where's Phoebe?" She asked.

"In the shower." I replied.

"Look, don't worry about the tape ok? I won't tell anyone, I left it on your bed, at your house, maybe next time don't leave it in the camera?" She said with a smile.

"Yeah, should have thought that out a little more. Anyway I guess that'll be goodnight then." I replied.

"Unless you wanna let me in to whatever you're doing in there with Kitty." Zari said.

"You know I can't." I said.

"Yeaah, I know. Goodnight then." Zari solemnly replied before kissing me sensually and deeply.

"You know she's going to find out." I said afterwards.

"I don't care." She said before she walked away.

I headed back into the bus and laid down next to Kitty wondering how the hell I was going to explain that..

"She knows about the video, but she's not going to tell anyone." I said, not yelling, but loud enough for Phoebe to hear inside the shower as Kitty snuggled me.

"Really?" Phoebe asked from the shower.

"That's what she said." I replied.

"So can we go back to playing around? I got my shoes off while you were gone." Kitty asked.

"Just wait until we get back to the house." I said.

"Yeah, I'm almost done here, and then both of us can play with you." Phoebe replied.

"Ok, but I want some time alone with Cj too." Kitty said.

"There will be other times, don't get greedy." Phoebe said as she shut the shower off.

"She kissed me." I said.

"Ooooh." Kitty said.

"You didn't stop her?" Phoebe asked.

"I didn't see it coming in time." I said.

"We'll sort it out tomorrow, let's just go back to the house and have some fun." Phoebe said.

"Ok." I replied, surprised.

Anyway, after that we got dressed, and Phoebe made sure Blacklilymon stayed unconscious for the night, before we shut the bus off and headed to our house as the bed there was slightly more comfortable.

"Ok ready Kitty Kat?" I asked.

"I've been ready for a long time." Kitty replied.

"Sorry sister we didn't mean to keep you waiting so long." Phoebe said as she undressed herself.

I pulled her close and kissed her.

"I love you babe, you know that." I said.

"Mhm." She replied.

"Let's get your boobies out." Phoebe said excited.

"Pheebles we'll get to that settle down." I said.

"No I want them out, and you need to get naked again too." Kitty said.

"Mmm, she's horny." Phoebe said.

"We made her wait too long." I joked.

"Mhm. let's do this already." Kitty agreed as she started to undress herself.

"Let's make him forget all about Zari and her silly kiss." Phoebe said.

"Yeah." Kitty agreed.

We fooled around together and I eventually fell asleep with both my ladies in my arms, feeling loved and ready to spend another day with them tomorrow. The love I had for Zari shuttled to the back of my mind.
