"Digi Baby Boom"
Okay, people have noted that Daisuke acts differently from Davis. Well, she used to be a lot more like him, but I figured that having Ken's influence she would calm down a bit more and mature, especially with what she learned from her adventures. I mean, Tai really matured after his adventures were over too, right? And if you people have any issues with the way I write her, then don't bother reading this. I'm not trying to turn her into a Mary-Sue. Please enjoy and review!
Daisuke and TK were getting dressed in their clothes as the bed floated in the sky and seemed to get lower to the water which was why the two humans were rushing to gather their things.
Veemon and Patamon were at the end of the bed, staring down at the water below them with nervous expressions.
"Um, Daisuke, do you have a plan here?" the dragon called to his human.
"Why do I always have to think? Can't you digivolve and fly us out of here?" she asked as she slipped on her vest.
"I don't know. Let me try. Veemon digivolve too… Nope." Veemon sighed when he couldn't muster up the energy.
Patamon flapped around, whining in worry as he saw the bed get closer to the water near some rocks that were there.
"Look, there's an island." Patamon pointed.
TK was fully dressed and crawled to the end of the bed, looking to see the island that was seven feet away from the rocks.
"Daisuke, what do we do?" the little boy asked.
"Don't know. Thinking." The girl said.
Daisuke finished dressing herself and used the ribbon to tie up her hair while her bangs were free and whipping around in the wind.
"How good of a swimmer are you?" she asked.
"I'm okay at it, but that's only when I'm in small water." He told her.
"Well, it's time to learn how to swim better." She said as the bed crashed into the rocks and the quartet jumped off into the water.
Under the water, TK was having a hard time kicking to the surface, so Daisuke swam under him and pushed him upwards.
His head broke the surface making him gasp in the air as Veemon was standing on one of the rocks, waiting for them while Patamon sat on his head.
"Come on, TK, start kicking your legs and move your arms." Daisuke instructed as she broke the surface.
"B-But what if I sink?" he asked fearfully.
"I'm right here. I won't let you drown. Okay?" she looked into his eyes.
He nodded slowly at this and started kicking his legs and moving his arms, doing a dog paddle while Daisuke swam beside him to make sure he was safe.
"Daisuke's really good at taking care of TK." Patamon noted.
"She really likes kids. And she took babysitting classes." Veemon smiled at the winged guinea pig who nodded in understanding.
It was something her parents had her do as a way to get out of the house and also as a way for her to earn money and learn how to be more responcible.
"Cannonball!" Veemon yelled as he tucked his legs in and jumped into the water.
Patamon shook off the water that splashed him and started flying overhead as the two humans and dragon swam to the island as the sun began to rise over the horizon.
"Boy, Patamon, I like the water and everything, but that waterfall almost knocked off my underpants." TK said as he squeezed the water out of his clothing.
"I think my wings shrunk." Patamon commented.
"Whoa, check out that waterfall." Veemon exclaimed in awe.
"It's amazing." Daisuke stared in awe at the blue and green lights that reflected off the water.
It sounded like thunder as the water crashed down on the rocks below and the mist rose around the group and tickled at their skin.
"Look at all that water. Somebody must have let the bath tub overflow. I just hope it didn't wash out our ways of finding the others." TK frowned sadly.
"D-D-Don't worry about me, Patamon. I'm not scared about being separrated from the others. And being lost and being homesick..." TK said tearfully as he shook in fear.
Just then, he burst into tears and started wailing making Patamon, Veemon and Daisuke look at him in shock.
"Uh, Daisuke, ya might wanna do something about this." Veemon called nervously.
He and his fellow digimon were clueless on how to deal with a human child who was very emitional.
Sighing, the mahogany haired girl kneeled down beside TK and pulled him into her arms and rocked him gently as she hummed softly.
Patamon whined in worry, unsure on what to do to help his partner.
He felt useless since he couldn't digivolve to find a way to get them out of the strange place.
Feeling useless, Patamon then started crying too which made Veemon jump in surprise and he was quick to rush over to his friend's side.
"P-Patamon, don't cry! What's wrong?" the dragon asked.
"I wanna fly! I wanna digivolve too!" Patamon wailed.
Sighing at this, Veemon placed a hand on his friend's head making Patamon sniffle as he opened his big blue eyes.
"You will digivolve. I know it's gonna happen. Maybe without all the others here to steal your moment, it'll happen." Veemon comforted.
Wiping his tears away, Patamon stopped crying.
"There, no more tears. Now, come on. Let's go find the others." Daisuke said as she jumped to her feet.
"But how are we going to find them?" TK asked.
"Hmm, I'm not sure. But we can give it a try. The others can't be too far. I bet Matt is looking for you right now." Daisuke said.
"How can you be so sure?" TK asked as he looked up at the girl who smiled down at him.
"'Cause that's what big brothers do." she said confidently with a wink.
TK blinked at that as he wiped away his tears and smiled up at the girl while Patamon sat on Veemon's head.
"Right." TK nodded.
"Now, let's go find the others. They gotta be around here somewhere." Daisuke said as she pulled out her digivice as the group started walking off.
"Hey, what do you think Leomon meant when he called us the Digidestineds?" TK asked the girl when he saw the device and it brought back the memory of what happened last night.
The girl closed her fist over her digivice, unsure of what to tell the little blonde since she couldn't reveal information to him that she shouldn't have.
"I'm not sure. But, hey, if we can get him away from that jerk Devimon then maybe we can ask him." she said.
"He was really scary. Devimon's not like all the other digimon who attacked us." TK said with fearful blue eyes.
"That's because Devimon is evil. He could give anyone nightmares." Patamon shivered.
"His outfit was pretty ugly too." Veemon joked making Daisuke scoff in amusement.
The group continued along as they tried to search for their friends when suddenly they heard a train whistle blaring.
"Hey, I hear a train coming. I betcha we could jump on and ride the caboost back to summer camp." TK said as they walked up to the train track.
"Are you kidding? Your brother would kill me if I let you do that." Daisuke rejected the idea.
As the group waited, they were quite confused when they didn't see or feel the train rush by them down the tracks.
"I thought I heard something." Patamon frowned.
"Where's the train?" Veemon asked.
"Maybe it's an invisble train." TK suggested.
"Did the train go by?" Patamon asked.
"If did it's the most silentest, most invisibleist train I've ever heard." TK commented.
"This place just keeps getting weirder and weirder. C'mon guys, let's get going." Daisuke said.
(Later on...)
A half hour later, the group came to a village that was filled with buildings made out of colorful blocks that had bunnies, ducks, chickens and all types of cute animals on them.
The ground below was green, but appeared to be made out of some type of clothe.
"Wow, this is the best! Let's find a snack bar and get some cotton candy. Places like this always have cotton candy." TK said happily.
"You have candy made out of cotton?" Patamon asked.
"No, it's called cotton candy because its fluffy and soft like cotton." Veemon explained.
"Ooh, I bet there's popcorn and snow cones and soft pretzels and ice cream and candy!" TK counted off the carnival food.
"You're making me hungry." Daisuke gave a forced grin as her stomach growled in a demanding way.
"Oh boy, let's go see!" Patamon insisted excitedly.
"Last one there's a rotten egg!" TK laughed.
The two younger members of the group then ran off, giggling as they tried to search for the junk food to eat.
As they ran along, the two friends then started jumping on the ground which was made out of a bouny material similar to a trampoline.
"Shouldn't we follow them?" Veemon asked his partner.
"Nah. They'll be okay. Besides, this is Primary Village for pete's sake! What could go wrong here?" Daisuke smiled confidently.
Her stomach then roared for food making her face burn red in embarrassment as Veemon laughed at his human.
"Oh, shut up. I've heard you make worse noises. Now, come on. Let's go see if there's any food around here." Daisuke said to her partner.
Noticing the little blonde and Rookie were running off somewhere made the time traveling duo stare after them curiously.
"Now where are they going?" Daisuke narrowed her eyes.
"Let's go see." Veemon said as he then ran off making his human chase after him.
As they followed the two younger members of the group, they saw that they had found cradles lying around on the soft ground.
The sight made Daisuke smile while Veemon grinned happily as the duo made their way over.
"Cradles. Lots of them." TK said as he and Patamon glanced around.
Walking up to one of the cradles, the four friends then glanced inside to find a baby digimon that looked like a black kitten head with no mouth staring up at them with bright yellow eyes.
"What's this?" TK asked.
"Botamon. It's a baby digimon." Patamon explained.
"A baby?" TK asked with a small grin.
"Aw, aren't you a cute little guy?" Daisuke cooed as she smiled down at Botamon.
"He's so soft." TK giggled as he poked Botamon's cheek.
"That's because he was just born." Veemon explained.
"What about the other ones?" TK asked.
Walking over to anotehr cradle, the four friends glanced inside and saw a red head with three bumps sitting in the cradle.
"What's this one called?" TK asked the digimon.
"That's Punimon." Patamon said.
"Puni! Puni!" the baby cooed up at the group.
"Puny is right. He's micro tiny." TK giggled as he then ran over to another cradle while Daisuke gently pet Punimon's head making the baby purr.
"Huh, what's with this one? Looks more like a grandpa with a big beard." TK commented about the baby.
Curious as to what the boy meant, Daisuke stood up and walked over to the cradle and peered down to see a purple colored creature that was covered in white hair.
"Aw, come on now, TK. You don't mean that. This is just a little baby Yuramon. He's looking right at you." Patamon smiled.
Yuramon stared up at the two humans and Rookies with curious black eyes before he then sneezed making the group giggle in amusement.
Spotting something, TK then curiously walked off while Yuramon sneezed twice.
"Sounds like someone's getting a cold." Veemon commented.
"Hey, Patamon, what're these?" TK asked making the group look over at him.
"What're what?" Patamon asked.
TK had found a bunch of eggs lying around the plush ground and was holding one of the colorful eggs.
"Oh! That's a digi egg." Patamon said.
"No way." TK said as Patamon flew over to him.
"It's the egg of a digimon." Patamon told him.
"It looks a bit like a giant Easter egg." Daisuke commented as she looked around the field.
"I like the paint, but are you saying that digimon hatch out of eggs just like chickens?" TK asked as he looked over the white egg that had yellow stripes he was holding.
"We don't grow in the ground." Patamon said.
"Even Mushroomon and Floramon come from dig eggs." Veemon grinned.
"Yeah, see, that's weird." Daisuke commented.
"Even Devimon came from an egg?" TK asked.
"Mm-hmm, unfortunately." Patamon looked down sadly and spotted an envelop with a letter sticking out of it.
"What's this? It's looks like instructions." Patamon said as he picked up the letter.
"What's it say?" Daisuke asked.
"It's written in digi code. It says 'rub gently'." Patamon read.
"Rub gently?" TK repeated.
"Rub what I wonder?" Patamon asked.
"Maybe it's the eggs." Daisuke suggested.
"I don't know what else you could rub around here." Veemon shrugged.
The digi egg in TK's hand then shook and the eggs around the field also seemed to quake as the voices of baby digimon were heard.
"Give it a try." Patamon insisted.
"Maybe a genie'll come out. I'm gonna wish for a new skateboard." TK said as he rubbed the side of the egg he held.
"Maybe you should wish for a pizza instead." Daisuke pouted as she rubbed her empty stomach.
Why couldn't Devimon had given them real food to eat before he tried to kill them?
Cracks appeared near the top of the digi egg as a white jellyfish then popped its head out and smiled cheerfully making Daisuke, TK, Veemon and Patamon smile at him.
"It hatched! Now we need to find him his own cradle." TK said.
"I'll go see if there's an extra one." Patamon offered.
To their surprise, the egg shells then transformed into a cradle with the baby sitting in it comfortably.
"Wow, a cradle comes with a birth. That's cool." Veemon grinned.
"Are you saying that you didn't know where you came from till now?" TK asked the digimon.
"Not really." Veemon shook his head.
He was a legendary digimon; he didn't remember anything about how he was born.
The only thing he knew was that he had been placed under the digi egg of Courage until his human came to release him.
Before that, there was nothing.
"Can you remember things from when you were a baby?" Patamon asked the blonde.
"Uh...hmm... Well, these pretty shapes and colors sure do remind me of something from a long time ago. It was sunny and I was playing with blocks, but I fell over or something. And I remember I was crying. But there was someone there with me. Someone, I don't know exactly who-maybe my brother, Matt-anyway, someone picked me up and I stopped crying." TK smiled at the memory.
Daisuke was smiling fondly down at him, feeling a sudden respect for Matt forming.
She hadn't cared much for the rockstar she knew from her time, but she was learning so much about him now that he was younger.
"That's about all. I guess I don't remember either." TK mused.
"See?" Patamon asked.
"Okay, it's not so easy from remembering stuff from being a baby." TK said.
"Daisuke, do you remember anything from when you were little?" Veemon asked.
Blinking at the sudden question, Daisuke narrowed her eyes as she thought back to when she was younger.
"I'm not sure. Things are pretty blurry. I think...there was this one time when I was pretty small. I fell down or someone pushed me. Anyway, I scraped my knee and started crying, but no one came to help me. Then, this girl my age came over to see what was wrong. She then went to get her big brother to help me." Daisuke said.
Veemon smiled since he was sure that the siblings his partner was talking about were Kari and Tai, and the memory she was telling them about was the first time she met the Kamiyas.
"That's it. Everything else is just a bunch of random images that I can't make sense of." Daisuke smiled sheepishly.
"At least we know we both didn't come from an egg. Let's go hatch some more digi eggs. Not that there's anything wrong with coming from an egg." TK giggled as he and Patamon ran off.
Daisuke smiled as she watched TK run off to have fun and wondered how this little boy had changed so much from the pre-teen she knew.
Suddenly, a Poyomon started to shake and cry which stunned the group as TK and Patamon stood over him to see what was bothering the baby.
"Hey, what's wrong?" TK asked.
Botamon then started to cry as well along with all the other baby digimon.
"They must be getting hungry. Poor little guys." Daisuke cooed as she pet Punimon's head.
Veemon and Patamon were jumping from cradle to cradle trying to comfort all the babies while TK was tending to Yuramon.
Just then, the babies started hopping out of their cradles and were crawiling all over the ground and the friends started chasing after them.
"Oh, calm down. There's no need to cry." Daisuke cooed as she rocked a Punimon and Botamon in her arms.
"How do mothers do this?" Veemon complained as he had a Yuramon sitting on his head while a Poyomon was being rocked in his arms.
"Get away from them!" someone yelled making the two Digidestineds and Rookies glance over to spot a red and purple digimon that looked a bit like a fusion of a rabbit and a lizard.
"Hey, look, it's Electmon." Veemon pointed.
"Boy, he's angry." TK commented.
"No kidding." Patamon agreed.
Jumping into the air, Electmon then released a bolt of lightening down on the group and Daisuke grabbed TK as she dove to the side.
"Are you crazy?!" Daisuke shouted at Electmon in anger as he ran at the group.
"You could-a hurt somebody." TK said.
"Of course I could have. That's what I was trying to do." Electmon informed.
"But why would you do anything to hurt us?" Patamon asked.
"Because I saw you playing with my babies, you interlopers." Electmon said as he picked up a Botamon.
"Sure we played with them, but what's that got to do with you?" TK asked.
"Yeah." Patamon agreed.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah. You barbarians. Always making the same mistake. I'm not some ordinary digimon who just happened to come along and catch you. This is the Primary Village hatching ground and nursery. This is a special place where all digimon start their lives and I'm a very special digimon entrusted with caring for each and every one of them." Electmon explained.
He then set Botamon back in his cradle while the rest of the babies all stood around.
"You don't have to play mister bigshot and fry us." Patamon said.
"I was only trying to protect my babies. Now I think this conversation has lasted long enough. I am in charge and you four are tresspassing. You must leave." Electmon demanded.
"Hey, you don't have to act like a jerk. We came here looking for our friends. We were just passing through." Daisuke stood up with Punimon and Botamon still cuddled in her arms, cooing playfully.
"Don't call me a jerk." Electmon frowned.
"And don't you talk to her like that." Veemon glared as he stood in front of his human.
"Hmm? Are you a Veemon? I thought you were extinct." Electmon blinked at the sight of the dragon.
"Not extinct, just endangered." Veemon huffed as he crossed his arms.
"Enough both of you." Daisuke chided.
"We didn't mean to cause any trouble." TK said as he stepped up beside Daisuke.
"Then put down those babies and leave." Electmon demanded.
"Now, now. You don't have to get so puffy." Patamon said making Electmon puff up in anger.
"Don't call me puffy!" Electmon yelled.
The two digimon then jumped into the air and tackled each other, Electmon sending small sparks out of his body to shock Patamon as he held him.
"Patamon, no!" TK called as the two digimon jumped away from each other.
"Both of you knock that off!" Daisuke yelled.
Electmon and Patamon bounced off the plush block towers and Patamon used his Boom Bubble on Electmon.
Recovering from the attack, Electmon then tackled Patamon into one of the towers causing a block to fall and the babies rushed over to Daisuke, cooing fearfully.
"Oh, I know. Too much excitement for you guys, huh?" Daisuke kneeled down as she cooed at the babies.
"If those two keep fighting then they might hurt the babies. We need to stop them." Veemon frowned.
"This is very bad. He's digivolving." TK said as his digivice slowly started to light up as Electmon and Patamon rolled out in front of them.
The two digimon then proceeded to slap each other, both growling in anger at each other as they did so.
"What's going on? We don't wanna fight. And they're fighting worst than Matt and me. And they're not even brothers. STOP IT!" TK yelled as his digivice died down as the two digimon stopped their fight to stare at the boy in confusion.
"Fighting's no good for solving problems you guys. All you did was mess up your fur and scare all the babies." TK said as he walked over.
"My fur looks fine." Electmon huffed as he and Patamon separated.
"I'm sorry little one. I didn't mean to scare you." Patamon said to a Poyomon as he picked it up.
"Hey punk, you better leave those babies alone. Don't even talk to them, got it?" Electmon scowled.
"You know what I've heard, Popo. Trying too hard to act grown up is a sign of immaturity." Patamon told the Poyomon he held.
"What was that? Hey, you got something to say to me, then say it to my face. Don't do it behind my back. So out with it you little wing headed two toed pork chop or don't you have the guts?" Electmon insulted as the two digimon glared at each other.
"Not again." TK sighed.
"TK, can I please teach this arrogant digi toad a lesson?" Patamon asked.
"You're the one who's going to learn something." Electmon said.
"Oh, geez." Daisuke groaned as she felt a headache coming on.
"These guys don't know when to quit." Veemon sighed.
"Do you guys really have to do this?" TK asked the two arguing digimon.
"Yes." Patamon and Electmon confirmed.
"Then let's do it the right. All right, I've got a great way to solve this." TK smiled.
"What were ya thinking?" Veemon asked the boy.
Daisuke was watching as she took care of the babies who kept rubbing at her ankles for attention.
She didn't know why, but baby digimon always seemed to like her.
"Hey, can we do this after the babies are fed?" Daisuke interupted making Electmon look over to her and was stunned by how at peace the babies were around the human girl.
"Ah, right." Electmon nodded.
(Later on...)
Everyone had been fed by the fish that Electmon had caught and now that it was sunset, the two digimon were prepared for the tug-a-war game TK had set up.
TK had dressed up in a green rose and had on a black hat as he held a black fan while Patamon and Electmon both wore smocks around their waists in different colors.
Daisuke and Veemon were sitting back with the babies to watch the game that was about to begin.
"And now in that corner the defending champion Electmon!" TK announced as he pointed his fan over at Electmon who bumped his fist against his chest.
"And now over in the other corner the challenger and most excellent digimon Patamon!" TK pointed his fan at Patamon.
"All right, let the tug-a-war begin. On your mark...get set...and go!" TK called.
Quickly, the two digimon grabbed the ends of the rope and held them between their teeth as they tried to pull forward.
"Keep pulling. Pull harder, pull harder." TK encouraged.
"This is so lame." Daisuke commented as she watched with Punimon still sitting on her lap while Botamon was sitting on top of Veemon's head.
"I guess this was the only non-violent way for them to settle their problems." Veemon shrugged.
"Come on, come on." TK said as the two digimon pulled harder on the rope.
Patamon seemed to lose his footing when Electmon pulled further, but then Patamon gripped the soft ground beneath him to steady himself and pull harder against the red digimon.
Just then, Electmon lost his footing and was flung back by the stretchy rope and hit one of the blocks, bursting a hole through it as air and feathers blew out.
"Uh, Electmon, are you okay?" TK asked as the wind blew the toys in the trees.
"Hey, yo, Electmon! You doing all right up there?" Daisuke called up to him.
Electmon then poked his head out of the block.
"Okay, I give up!" Electmon called down to the crowd.
"And the winner is Patamon!" TK cheered.
"Yay! Yay!" Patamon cheered as the babies all bounced around and cooed in excitement.
"Yeah, you sure won kid. You're the terror of the tug-a-war." Electmon said as he climbed down from the block and made his way over.
"Wanna try it one more time?" Patamon asked.
"Nope, you beat me fair and square. It's my pleasure to welcome you to Primary Village." Electmon chuckled kindly as he shook hands with Patamon as the babies cheered.
"I'm really sorry, Patamon. There's no good excuse for the mean way I acted when I first saw you, but I've been so upset about things around here ever since the island broke apart that I've been expecting a fight. I guess I just took it out on you. I apologize." Electmon said.
"Aw, don't worry about it. We've had worst welcomings." Veemon grinned.
"At least kids make up pretty fast. My parents are still mad at the time I painted my kitty cat." TK looked down.
"At least you didn't accidentally set the stove on fire." Daisuke gave a nervous smile at the memory.
She had been trying to cook grilled cheese when she was seven years old, but she didn't notice the oven mit was on the grill.
Needless to say, she wasn't allowed to use the stove again for about a year and was grounded for two weeks because of it.
"You're a lot stronger than you look, kid. I'm impressed." Electmon placed an arm around Patamon.
"You know, they say you can't tell a cover from the size of its book or something like that." Patamon smiled.
"You mean you can't judge a book by its cover." Veemon corrected.
"Well, forget about the sayings. You're good at tug-a-war. Hey, take a look around. Some day all this will be yours Patamon, my boy. You'll raise up some fine young digimon here just like your old man." Electmon said.
"Oh, Electmon, I am not here to raise babies." Patamon told him.
"You're not? I mean, of course you're not. Oh, I guess I was just day dreaming." Electmon said as the babies all giggled at his embarrassment.
"But I was serious about you staying here for a little while to get some rest, take care of the babies... Well, you won't rest much if you do that." Electmon said.
"Yeah, sounds great, Electmon. By the way, how do we get to that mountain?" TK asked.
"Infinity Mountain?" Electmon asked in surprise as he looked over at the two humans.
"Yes." TK said.
Electmon then turned to stare at the tall mountain that the humans were staring at that were shadowed by the red sun.
"You actually wanna climb up there?" Electmon asked.
"Yes." TK confirmed.
"That's really not a good idea. You need special tools, plus some hiking boots and gloves, all very expensive. Plus you've got your snow up there, that's cold. And poison ivy, and snakes, and bugs and, oh-"
"And Devimon." Daisuke stated as she cut Electmon off from his ranting.
"Oh, yeah, I was getting to that. Devimon is... Well, he's an evil digimon." Electmon said.
"I know, but I have to ask him about my brother and everyone else." TK told him.
"But he won't just tell you. You'll have to fight him." Electmon said to the boy.
"I don't want to fight ever!" TK yelled.
"Sure, right." Electmon drawled.
"Not like we've got a choice." Daisuke muttered.
This younger version of TK was different.
The older TK didn't like fighting either, but he was willing to do so because there was no other choice but to fight.
"There has to be some other way to find out. We need to do it without fighting Devimon." Patamon said to Electmon.
"Like asking him pretty please?" Electmon quipped.
"I hightly doubt that'll work." Daisuke said.
"No, it's nothing like that. Do you remember how it felt when we were all laughing? You can't help it and the next thing you know, you're looking at each otehr and laughing and your cheeks hurt like you've been blowing up balloons all day. Laughing's the best part of friendship." TK smiled.
Veemon and Daisuke looked down at each other and smiled when they remembered the many times they had laughed together.
"That's it!" Electmon said suddenly as he then rushed off, surprising the friends.
"Hey, wait!" Patamon called.
"Where ya going?" Veemon asked making Electmon stop as he turned back to look at them.
"TK is right. It's all about laughing and being friends. Maybe we can use the power of friendship to return the island to normal. I've go to go over to Geasavana to where the Yokomon village is and tell everyone right away." Electmon informed.
"Bye-bye and be careful." Patamon called as he, TK, Daisuke and Veemon all smiled over at Electmon.
"It's just a feeling, but I really believe in it. Thanks TK and thank you Patamon. Daisuke, Veemon, I'm counting on you to look after my babies for me!" Electmon smiled.
"Bye-bye!" Patamon called.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Daisuke grinned as she waved Electmon off.
To be continued...
