EPILOGUE:

“She’s too skinny. What have you been feeding her?” Mrs Motomiya said critically.



“I wasn’t exactly in control of her diet, mom.” Davis replied.



Kayoko looked between the pair, and then at Jun. The older girl winked at her. Kayoko figured that this was an ongoing relationship between the two. Mrs Motomiya sighed.



“Never leave Davis to do anything important.”



“Hey!”



“Are you still here?”



Davis glared at her, but kept quiet. Mrs Motomiya smirked, and turned to Kayoko.



“Well, I suppose someone’s got to take care of you. You can have Davis’s old room. It’s filled with crap at the moment…”



“That’s all my stuff!” Davis said.



“Tell it to someone who cares. But since Davis is in his own place now, it’ll just be us girls.”



“Is it always like this here?” Kayoko asked.



“Yes.” Davis and Jun said in Unison.



Mrs Motomiya laughed.



“Don't worry kid. I’ll be nice to you. For a while at least.”



Kayoko grinned, and then blushed.



“What’s the matter?”



“I’ve… never had a family before.”



“Well, you’ve got one now. You’ll probably regret it, but you’ve got one.”



She glanced at Davis.



“You’ll stay for lunch.”



“I cant…”



“It wasn’t a request.”



Davis sighed.



“Yes, mom.”

=============================================================



Liam looked with distaste at the countertop of the bar. A thin layer of dust covered everything, and he was NOT liking the amount of cleaning he was going to have to do before he could open again. He already had the drinks on order, but before he could even do anything the bar would have to be able to pass a health inspection.



He sighed, and pulled a bottle of whisky down from the shelf. He checked the brand, and grinned. Pouring the liquor into a glass, he raised it to the light, watching as the golden liquid glowed.



“You got another one of those?” Nick said.



Liam glanced at him.



“Sure. Sit ye down.”



The Londoner sat on the opposite side of the bar, pulling up one of the tall stools.



“So what are you going to do now?” the Irishman asked.



“I dunno.”



“You wanna job?”



Nick looked up.



“Doing what?”



“Bar work.”



“…Free drinks?”



“Hell yeah.”



“I’m in.”



The bell over the door rang, and the pair turned.

=============================================================



Davis pushed himself back from the table.



“I’m sorry, Mom, but I’ve really got to go.”



“What’s the rush?”



“I’m helping Kari move all her things into my apartment.”



Mrs Motomiya gave him a level look, and he blushed.



“Erm… we’re engaged, Mom.”



“Good. What took you so long?”



“Mom!”



“Davis, you’ve been in love with the girl for years. I could see it, everyone else could see it, apparently, and only you and her were so dumb that you missed it.” She grinned. “Congratulations, son. Your dad would be proud.”



“Thanks, Mom.”



He grinned at Kayoko and Jun.



“I’ll see you later. Sorry to leave you with this overbearing maniac.”



Jun smiled.



“I’ve been living with her for years.”



Kayoko also grinned.



“I think I’ll be alright.”



“I know. Oh, before I forget…”



Davis pulled out a Digivice, and handed it to her. Kayoko looked at it in confusion.



“But… I’m not…”



“Yes you are.”



A small portal shimmered in the air, and a small lizard dropped out into Kayoko’s lap.



“Hi. I’m Scrymon.”



“I’m… Kayoko.”



“Cool.”



She laughed. Davis grinned.



“Well, I’m outta here. Catch ya later, mom.”



“See you, Davis. Don't forget to call me occasionally.”



“Do I ever?”



“No. Its more than your life’s worth.”



Davis was smiling as he walked out the door.

=============================================================



Mimi stood in front of Michael, and looked up at him.



“So, what do you say?” he said.



Go back to America. With Michael. What did she have to lose?



But she knew. She couldn’t go with him.



“I’m sorry, Michael.”



His face fell.



“I know that you care about me, but I can’t go with you… because I’d be lying to myself.”



He grinned slightly.



“Is it him?”



She nodded.



“He’s a lucky guy.”



She laughed.



“He’d better appreciate it.”



“He will. I know that. I think you may be doing the right thing, Mimi.”



“Thankyou.”



He grinned.



“Hey, I’m just a dumb blonde Yankee, remember. God bless the USA, and all that bullshit. But I’m not blind, and he’s got feelings for you that I could never have.” The smile softened. “Goodbye, Mimi Tachikawa.”



“Goodbye, Michael.”



He turned and began to walk away. She watched his back for a couple of seconds, and then walked away herself, smiling. She was still smiling when she pushed through the door to the bar.



Nick and Liam looked at her in surprise, their whisky’s forgotten.



Nick was the first to move.



“I’ll…erm… go check out the kitchen or something.”



Before the Irishman could object, Nick had gone through the doors behind him. Liam turned back to the pink-haired girl. Mimi smiled.



“I’ve made my choice.”



“Mimi, I told you that…”



She took two steps forward, and kissed the big Irishman on the mouth. Finally, they broke apart.



“Liam, shut up.”



“Yes, Ma’am.”

=============================================================



Davis picked up the box, and scooped a handful of Football magazines into it. He sighed.



“Some of this mess is old friends, you know.”



“Keep tidying.” Kari said.



TK grinned at the pair.



“You are SO whipped, man.”



“I know. And I don't mind in the least.”



The blonde man glanced at his own girlfriend.



“Do you agree with this?”



“I think it’s very romantic.”



Kari glowed. TK sighed.



“I’m the only realist here, aren’t I?”



“Shut up, TK.” Tasha said absently.



“Yes, dear.”



Kari pushed another batch of magazines into the box Davis held, and dusted her hands off.



“I think I’m gonna like it here.”



He smiled back at her.



“I was hoping you might.”



She leant forward, and kissed him. TK and Tasha glanced at each other.



“Ah, do you need anymore help?” TK said.



“I don't think so. We’ve done most of it.” Kari replied absently.



“Then We’ll get outta here, and leave you two alone.”



“Thanks.”



TK and Tasha shared a grin as they left.



“I think we can effectively say, that they’re gonna be alright.”



“I think so.”



Back in the apartment, Davis wrapped his arms around Kari’s waist.



“I love you, Hikari Kamiya.”



“I love you too, Daisuke Motomiya.”



“So, shall we eat, or shall we…erm… do something else first.”



“Something else sounds nice.”



Both Gatomon and Veemon grinned at each other as the two Digidestined headed for the bedroom.



“Well, that’s going well.”



“Yup.”



Gatomon, smiling to herself, curled up into a ball, and went to sleep, as Veemon went to find something to eat.



THE END.
