Epilogue 1: The Virus and The Genius

After such an exciting night, the digidestined all agreed on one thing: sleep! The usual guards were posted, but no one could really blame them when they zonked out quickly as well. It was late afternoon before any of them stirred, slowly entering reality and beginning to look for a snack or two.

"Mmm-wha?" Izzy sleepily blinked as a shadow passed over him, blocking the sunlight that had been his blanket. He rolled over and noticed a pale figure gliding away silently. "Mm." he murmured, rolling back over and closing his eyes.

....

"Huh?!"

His eyes shot open and he bolted upright. Craning his neck, he confirmed what he thought he had seen. Or rather, who.

"Serenamon? Hey, Serenamon, wait a sec!" he ran after her, and she obliged by slowing her gait. "Where are you going?"

"Away."

Izzy blinked, unsure of what to make of her simple response. "Why? Did one of us say or do something wrong?"

"No." she smiled. "It's just time for me t'be going, 'tis all. It's been far too long since I've seen any o' me own kind. They've probably given me up as forever lost.'

"I see your point." Izzy nodded. "Umm...Serenamon?"

"What happened to Serena?" she teased with a dazzling smile.

"Huh?"

"After I stopped Palmon from hurting you. At the castle gate before it closed. You called me Serena. Now we're free, and it's back to formality?"

"Oh!" *I had?* he thought. "Well, I, uh..."

The celestial digimon threw her head back and laughed heartily. "Dinnae worry about it! Call me what you like, Koushiro."

They walked a few steps more in comfortable silence before Izzy's curiosity needed to be quelled.

"Do you mind being called Serena?" he asked cautiously

"Do you mind being called Koushiro?" she countered. The computer whiz smiled and ducked his head to hide his slight blush.

More comfortable silence. Again curiosity welled up, but this question had a more...delicate nature. "Serenam-er, Serena. Are you....really a virus digimon?"

She stopped and blinked wide eyes. "Now how did ye go about finding that out?" the pale skinned girl queried with amusement.

"So it's true."

"Aye, 'tis. But don't be fillin' your heart with worry now. If I'd wanted ye and your friends done in, haven't I had more than ample opportunities to choose from?"

"I suppose you're right. Ogremon was a virus too, but he helped Joe and Mimi when we were fighting the Dark Masters. I guess it really is as much nurture as it is nature. Er, that's.....oh never mind." he finished as Serenamon stared at him oddly.

"Ye still haven't answered me.'

"What?" Izzy tried to backtrack through their conversation, the original topic lost to him.

"Who told ye I was a virus type?"

"Oh that! I read it on my digi-analyzer."

"Digi...what?"

So he opened his laptop and showed her the gift Gennai had given him all those years ago. She was visibly impressed, and after a few instruction, was soon merrily scrolling through the program, looking up friends and acquaintances expanding on their descriptions-although a few of them would never see print!

"What a marvelous toy!" she squealed as she drew a happy face in the paint program.

"Oh, it's not a toy, Serena. It's an advanced scientific device suitable for long mathematical computations and theroms." Izzy corrected. Serena's response was to raise a skeptical eyebrow.

Blushing, Izzy threw an arm behind his head. "...Although, the high quality sound and graphics make for great games." he admitted. She laughed then, and he joined her.

Finally, with a sigh of regret, she closed and handed the laptop back to its owner.

"I fear this is where I must leave ye."

Suddenly, Izzy felt very reluctant to see her go. "A-are you sure you wouldn't want us to go with you? We can back up your story about MarquisDemon..." he stopped when she placed a long, tapered finger on his lips.

'It won't be necessary, Koushiro. You're a digi-destined. You've things of far greater importance to do than convince a few skeptical viruses. But, the offer is appreciated." And with that she leaned forward and kissed him. "Farewell then, my friend. And do take care of my Tentomon for me."

The virus gave the genius one last shy look as she walked off. Izzy, too floored by the emotional response of his first kiss to do much else, stared after her. Before she slipped completely out of sight, he managed to wake up enough to wave weakly after her.

"Goodbye....Serena...."


Go On!
