Mimi's House
Day 3, 9:30 PM
Gohan rolled out his sleeping bag in the corner of the guest bedroom. Mimi had been kind enough to let the two boys and Squall stay for the night - but mostly on Squall's behalf.
Mimi stood googly-eyed over the cute Squall. "So,... um... hey.. I was wondering if you would go out wi..."
"Shut the hell up." Squall said.
Yolei speedwalked down the hall, followed by Davis and Veemon.
Yolei turned into Davis' room to find a confused Ken sitting on the bed playing FFIX. "... Yolei? What are you doing here?"
"Ken, it's going to be alright..."
Davis slammed the door. Veemon rolled the kitchen chair up to the door, tilted it, and jammed it inbetween the floor and the doorknob.
Ken was being strangled by Yolei's hug. "Davis! Help me out here!"
Davis folded his arms. "Get aquainted with Yolei, Ken. You're going to be in there for a while."
"DAAAAAVVVVIIIIIIISSSSSS!!!" Ken screeched.
"Ken? It's alright... you have me."
"AUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!"
Veemon shook his head. "Don't you feel the least bit sadistic?"
"We need that special power, Veemon. He'll understand."
Davis had removed his sleeping bag from his room and kept it tucked underneath his arm. He turned and knocked on the guest bedroom door.
"Hello?" Sora said.
"It's me, Davis! I was wondering if I could set up in there tonight!"
Tai opened the door and smiled. "Glad to have you, Davis. There's room over there."
Davis and Veemon set up shop against the wall next to Gohan and TK.
"What's with the guy with the funny hair and the scar?" Gohan whispered to Davis. "He's sure acting like an ass toward the girls."
"Be happy he's here," Davis responded. "He's keeping Mimi busy."
Mimi was starry-eyed. "Have I told you how you are so..."
"Can it before I lop your head off." Squall scowled.
"Oooooh! You're so cute when you're angry!"
Krillin buried his head in his pillow. "Damn it Gohan, why did I even come here?.... I can't take much more of this! How could it get any worse?"
Kari answered. "Truth Or Dare, guys?"
Krillin turned red and sweatdropped.
Davis grit his teeth. Go through with it, he thought. You can find a way to defeat TK then. "Heh.. sure... whatever you say!"
"I'm up for that." TK answered. Back off, Davis.
Squall got up. "You do whatever. I'll be outside practicing Limits."
Mimi shot in front of him. "You're not going anywhere!" She giggled. With a single stroke, Mimi pushed forward and toppled Squall. He fell on his back.
Veemon turned back to his fellow digimon. "Man, if there's one thing I love about my status here, it's that no one WANTS to do that to me."
Patamon sighed. "Do you take pride in insulting yourself?"
Gatomon sat down. "That wasn't an insult, that was a revelation."
Tai's bag unzipped. Agumon poked his head out. "Do you people mind? I'm trying to sleep!"
Wormmon pushed Tai's bag over, spilling its contents. "Come now, you'll have plenty of time to sleep after."
Agumon rolled to a stop and stood up. "Ugh. What's going on?"
Gatomon and Wormmon starting shoving Veemon and Agumon. "C'mon, guys, get in there. You'll never understand it if you don't try."
Veemon frowned. "Er.."
"We'll be joining up too," Gatomon said. "Just get in the circle."
Everyone was waiting to start. Veemon and Agumon walked around the circle to find a place to sit.
"Can you believe her?" Veemon moaned. "We're not cut out for this."
"If someone like Patamon can join in and play like no one's business, then there's no reason we can't." Agumon growled. He caught sight of Patamon landing next to TK.
"Mind if we play?" Patamon squeaked.
Everyone just kind of looked at him.
Veemon nudged Patamon. "Move over."
Gohan and Krillin took their seats. "Who are they?" Gohan questioned.
"We're not in the condition to explain," Kari said. "We need someone to start."
Davis looked down to his side and saw Veemon there. "Huh? Veemon? What are you doing here?"
"Gatomon kind of threw us in here."
"As long as your dares don't involve us, we'll ignore you." TK sighed.
Agumon sat down on Davis' other flank. "We can't guarantee anything."
Mimi stood in the center of the circle. She checked to make sure everyone was there. "Tai, TK, Veemon, Dav... Veemon?"
Veemon buried his head in his hands. "Don't ask."
"Agumon? Patamon? What are you guys all doing here?"
"Being part of the guys," Patamon said. "We hope you don't mind us joining in on your little game."
Tai laughed. "Maaaan... this is gonna be weeeeird..."
"Ken.. hey, where's Ken?"
Davis grinned. "Oh, he's going on some self-discovery of his own."
A loud thud from the spare bedroom.
"Well... okay. But we're not telling him what he's missing."
Veemon looked toward the spare bedroom. He swore he could hear clothes being taken off. Veemon thought about it, shuddered, and centered himself on the group.
"I take it you're new at this." Davis laughed.
"With all due respect, these people freak me out." Veemon replied.
"Yes! And Squall... Squall?"
Out in the living room, there was a lightsaber-drawing sound, a loud screech, and wood splintering, followed by a massive crash.
"A Limit?" Wormmon wondered. He picked himself up and waddled out the door to the living room.
"Hmm... not good for the infrastructure." Wormmon said, from the living room.
"Shut up." Squall mumbled.
Wormmon brought the distraught Squall back into the guest bedroom.
"Okay! Everyone's here!"
Krillin threw his pillow off his head. "Gohan, are you sure about this?"
"I need to learn things like these for when I turn 13."
"I'm not any part of it." And with that, Krillin buried himself within his sleeping bag and shut out the rest of the world.
Another loud thud from the spare bedroom. And bed springs.
"I'm going to go Exveemon on all of your asses if this keeps up." Veemon whimpered. He plugged his ears.
Sora motioned toward Veemon and Agumon. Dimwitted, they got up and waddled around the circle to her.
Sora huddled with both Digimon. "Alright," she whispered. "Truth or Dare. When it's your turn, someone will ask you 'Truth or Dare'. Answer truth, and they'll ask you a really embarassing question. Answer it. If you can't, or everybody else can tell you're making it up, you're out. Answer Dare.... and... well... you'll see. Okay! That's about it. Go out there and humiliate yourselves for me!"
Sora gave both Digimon a reassuring slap on the back. Both of them shifted uneasily.
"I don't like this." Veemon said.
*A shaft of light beams down from the sky in front of Veemon*
Keyvan : Something wrong?
"We could use some help here!" Agumon shouted up, expecting an answer.
Keyvan : This isn't my topic either. ... here, try this.
*A chick mag lands in front of Veemon*
Keyvan : I hope you will find this tome useful.
Veemon is flipping through the pages. "Not really. 'NSync interviews, leg shaving tips, but no Truth or Dare guides."
Keyvan : Well, I guess you're on your own for this one. See you around.
*The shaft of light closes*
Veemon fell to his knees. "Heeeey!! Nooo! You can't just leave us like this!!"
Sora picked up both Veemon and Agumon and flung them into their seats in the circle.
Davis looked down. "Veemon? Where did you get that?"
"Some divine intervention." Veemon said, sarcastically. He rolled up the magazine and tossed it over his shoulder.
Squall handed Davis the Buster Sword. "Use this if things get hectic."
Davis sighed and placed the Buster Sword next to him. He knew how Truth or Dare worked. They normally started out with some pretty soft questions and ended with hardcore stuff. Mimi had an excuse to play Truth or Dare anytime a digidestined group showed up there because the people in the group changed each time. He, however, was a veteran of the game, and was pretty confident that he could last more than 2 minutes this time.
He knew, however, that Veemon wouldn't be so lucky.
Veemon breathed heavy and waited for any incoming questions. But he knew that Mimi would often go first, and then af...
"Veemon! Truth or Dare?" Gatomon yelped.
Veemon stiffened up. "Nonononononononono..."
"Nonononononononononono is an invalid answer. Newbie's grace, Veemon. Try again."
Veemon glanced nervously around the room. Davis motioned a T with his hands.
"T-truth."
"Pretty shoddy." Mimi whispered to Sora.
"He's doing better than Davis has ever, anyways." Sora responded.
Tai stood up with an evil grin on his face. He rubbed his hands together. "Time to get on my feminine side."
He paced at Veemon's feet. "Alright, then.. 'Veemon'... I haven't been attending the digidestined adventures lately, so I wouldn't mind a recap, straight from you."
"Well, after we defeated Ken, we..."
"Wrong answer," Tai barked. "Care pointing out any significant love triangles for me?"
Davis choked. Veemon was toast. And if he wasn't, he would screw up Davis' plan royally.
But he heard something he would never have thought of.
Veemon stood up and paced around Tai, eyeing him. "Lemme get this straight. Your friend..."
Veemon whipped around and pointed. "SORA!!!"
Everyone started breathing again. "has been the target of another digidestined. Ken."
A 'ooooooh' slithered out of the crowd.
Tai stepped back. "Wha--aat?!"
"Oh, don't worry. No hard feelings. Sora is yours, especially since Yolei joined in on the fun and took Ken out of your hands!"
Veemon stepped out of the room, removed the chair from the spare bedroom doorknob, and threw open the door.
"SWEET JESUS!!" TK screamed.
Tai sat dumbfounded.
Kari was shielding her eyes. "When did Yolei get here?!"
Hawkmon hovered in. "What did I miss?"
Ken ran out screaming, attempting to pull up his boxers on the way out.
Veemon smirked. "Ouch." He closed the door. "Perhaps Yolei needs her privacy."
Everyone burst into laughter, including Davis.
"I'm not done yet," Veemon said. "That isn't to say one of you would attempt it."
"You can sit .. HAAAHA... down...... Veemon.... you outdid yourself.." Mimi laughed.
Tai sat down again. "You wouldn't catch me doing that."
"Then what's that for?" He pointed into the corner.
Everyone had thought Tai and Sora were sleeping next to one another, but on further inspection they realized it was a double sleeping bag.
Keyvan : BUM BUM BUUUUUUM
"I need lots of room when I sleep." Tai and Sora said at the same time. They turned to each other and sweatdropped.
"Okay, if that's one of yours' bags, where's the other?"
"At home!!" Tai and Sora yelled. Both ran down the hall.
Everyone was cracking up. Krillin, now awake, fell facefirst on the floor and pounded it with his fist, laughing all the way.
Veemon sat down. "Anyone else care to take me?"
Silence.
"You win, Veemon."
"Hands down."
"You rock."
"If I could figure out what he is, that would've been so much funnier." Gohan sighed.
"I suppose fighting fire with fire was key there." Squall laughed to himself.
Gatomon slapped Veemon on the back, wiping tears from her eyes. "You were awesome there..." she broke into another spasm of laughter and collapsed.
Davis grinned. "Not only did you keep our plan in operation, you're still in the game."
The phone rang. Mimi sprung up. "I'll get it."
Davis, TK, Kari, Veemon, Agumon, Gatomon, Patamon and even Hawkmon sat in the room, giggling to themselves.
"This Sunday? Okay, we were wondering. We'll be there."
Mimi returned to the room. "It was Ultimanium."
Everybody stood.
"He said the competition is going to begin Sunday at midnight. Guys, I'm going to my room. My show's on right now."
Mimi? Skip Truth or Dare? Everybody sweatdropped.
"Are you sure?" Kari asked.
"Definite. Have fun guys." Mimi turned and retired to her room at the other end of the hall.
Davis leaned against the wall and folded his arms. "Sunday? That's 4 days from now! What are we supposed to do?"
"The date's too close to take a return flight to Odaiba," Kari muttered. "We're going to have to stay here."
Krillin sat up. "Hey, tomorrow I'll get a hold of Goku and ask if we can hang out with him for a while."
"I guess that's a plan." Davis sighed. Actually, it wasn't, though no one could think up anything more imaginative.
Tai walked in, picked up his sleeping bag and headed for the living room. "Good night." He tried as hard as could to hide his disgust with the rest of the group, but it didn't work very well.
Davis, TK, Kari, Veemon, Patamon and Gatomon were the only people remaining.
"I guess that was it then." TK said. He climbed into his sleeping bag.
Veemon stopped TK's sleeping bag zipper. "Davis, could you step out for a moment?"
"Oh... sure." Davis slid the door shut as he left the room.
Everyone else positioned themselves in the circle. Veemon drug TK into the ring.
Davis woke up. What did Veemon want to get rid of him for? He turned and tried to open the door. Locked. He put his ear to the door to try to pick up something:
"Davis is down."
"Alright, Veemon, that's just cheating."
Damn it! Davis thought. I still need to play if TK and Kari are still in there! Veemon!! What are you doing?!
"Kari!" Veemon wailed. "Truth or Dare?"
"Truth."
"This is easier than I thought," Veemon said to himself. "Wait up, Davis, you can come back here in a minute."
TK and Kari were talking amongst themselves and didn't hear Veemon.
Veemon folded his hands. "I made the effort of pointing out love triangles in the group, but didn't get them all, as the interrogater kind of had to leave. Do you have anything to add?"
TK nudged Kari.
Kari just kind of sat there. Alright, something is wrong here. She thought. TK never acts like this. That's normally Davis' job... but he hasn't even looked at me since we got here! ... forget it, I bail out here. I need a sign.
"Beats me." Kari replied. She threw up her arms in defeat.
TK was stunned. Say me, bitch!
Keyvan : Er... ok, this is REALLY not right...
Veemon laughed. This is going better than I thought. Just enough leeway for Davis. TK's almost at the same stage of pandemonia as Davis - if I can get him to snap, and get Davis to calm down.... then we win!
Kari retired. TK turned to Veemon. "It's just you and me... do your worst!"
"TK! Truth or Dare?"
"Dare!"
Gohan and Krillin oooohed.
Veemon gestured towards Kari's sleeping bag. "Move your sleeping bag over to Kari's."
TK started getting nervous. "...uh... okay." He dropped his sleeping bag into an empty slot in front of Kari's. Davis' was lined up behind TK's.
"Done." TK announced.
"Veemon!" Gatomon shouted. "That was pitiful!! Veemon's out, hands down!"
Veemon was dead. At least for the time being, anyways. He rubbed his hands together. "Wait, Gatomon. Just wait."
He stood up and unlocked the door. Davis stumbled in. TK was dancing over people's sleeping bags, occaisionaly stepping on Squall's. "I win I win I win I wiiiin!!"
TK tripped on the Buster Sword and plummeted to the ground.
"That's a wrap, people!" Patamon shouted. "Anyone for shuteye?"
Everybody raised their hands. "Aye!"
As everybody hopped in their sleeping bags, Hawkmon yanked the light switch. The room plunged into darkness, and everybody got settled for the long sleep ahead of them. Or not.
*Keyvan taps the Pause button. Everybody boos him*
Keyvan : Alright, let's get this straight. The formation of sleeping bags is as follows: Kari in the top left of the room by the door, TK's at her feet, Veemon beside TK, Davis in the bottom left, Gohan and Krillin aside from him, Hawkmon, Gatomon, Wormmon and Patamon on the far right of the room, and Squall in the top right. Man, I'm lost.
*Random members of the audience throw rotten fruit*
Keyvan : .... forget it.
*Keyvan pushes the Play button again*
Davis sat awake for a while. He held up his watch and turned the indiglo on. 10:34. He was ready to put his head down to sleep. "G'night, Veemon."
Veemon was right at Davis' head. "Davis. You're not going to sleep for a while longer."
"Huh? What's going on?"
"You have to do something about TK, remember?" Veemon whispered. "I paved you a massive path, and you're going to take it whether you like it or not!"
Veemon pointed over into the darkness.
"Eh. ... Kari?" TK grunted.
Kari sat up. "What?"
No response.
She was ready to lie down again. She'd been through a lot today, and.. "Ehhhh.... Kari..."
Kari shot up. "What is it, TK?" She said angrily.
No response.
Veemon chuckled. "TK's off in La-la Land somewhere. It's ticking off Kari."
"...huh? I can't hear or see anything. It's pitch black in here."
Veemon tapped the side of his head. "I have night vision and hearing like a fox. I'll relay." he scanned the area for any happenings.
TK stood up in his sleep.
"I sure hope he unzipped that sleeping bag." Veemon sighed.
TK stumbled, and fell to his side, still tangled in the zipped-up sleeping bag.
THUD
"We're trying to sleep here." Squall moaned.
"Urrggghh!! TK, get back to sleep!!" Kari yelled. That was the only part that Davis heard so far.
Mimi tiptoed into the room from the dark hall.
"Mimi! Incoming!" Veemon said to himself.
Mimi tripped over a loose shoe on the ground.
THUMP
"TK! GET TO SLEEP!!" Kari shouted. Davis heard that, too.
TK readjusted his sleeping bag, though not generally straight.
Keyvan : Turn TK's sleeping bag 45 degrees counterclockwise on my handy chart!
Mimi got up on all fours. She slowly crept toward the sleeping Squall.
"Squall?" She whispered.
Squall shot out of bed, snatched the Buster Sword, and nailed Mimi's nightshirt to the wall.
*RUFFLE* SWISH SKRUNCH
"Go Dad.... kick Bob Dole's ass...." Gohan mumbled in his sleep.
Kari beat TK over the head with a shoe. "Damn... you... TK!!!" Davis heard it, surely.
TK remained asleep.
"Watch out, Squall! Mimi's hitting on you!" Veemon murmured.
"Squall! I was just wondering if.."
"I'm not going out with you, you psycho bitch!!" Squall shouted. Davis heard it.
"Bitch... Maron..." Krillin groaned in his sleep. He started drooling.
TK stood up. He was officially sleepwalking. He turned to Kari. She had fallen asleep as quickly as she started yelling, and was snoozing soundly. TK started to approach her. "Yeeeah..." he mumbled.
Veemon sprung up. "This is it! I have to do this... Davis! When I act, follow my mark!"
Veemon jumped and kicked TK in the back of the knee. He stumbled and fell right in front of Kari. Had he stepped any further, she would be in a killing mood.
TK snapped out of his trance. He threw down his hands to brace his fall, and upon contact with the ground, his arm spread forward.
Veemon couldn't believe it. Perfect. Just perfect.
"Veemon! You little shit!" TK scowled. Davis sulked. The shit had hit the fan.
Gatomon turned over. "What's going on..."
Veemon waved his finger. "Now, now.. you wouldn't want to wake Kari, now, would you?"
"I'll beat you down, you li..." TK tried to move his hand. It wouldn't budge.
Upon further reflection by TK, he didn't want to move his hand. When his hand stretched out after landing the fall, it slid perfectly underneath Kari's ass. There was no way he could move it out without waking her.
TK let loose a wave of sweatdrops. "Alright, Veemon! What do you want?"
"Some discipline by Tai on your behalf." Veemon snickered. He nodded off to Davis.
"JESUS CHRIST, TAI!!! WHAT THE HELL IS TK DOING TO YOUR SISTER?!?" Davis screamed.
This woke everybody up.
Keyvan : No way, it put everybody in New York to sleep.
Tai darted into the room. "WTF is going on here?!"
The lights went on, and they all saw the horrors of Veem.. er, TK's actions.
Krillin covered Gohan's eyes. "You're not old enough."
Veemon whipped around to Tai. "I tried to stop him! Honest!!"
"Thanks, Veemon. TK! What the fuck is wrong with you?!?"
"Er... I .. the.. di...Ve..D..."
Kari, now awake, nailed TK in the face with a punch.
Tai, now aware, nailed TK in the face with a punch.
Gatomon, now available, nailed TK in the face with a punch.
Gatomon hopped off of Patamon. "Thanks. I needed that."
Tai grabbed TK by the neck and threw him out of the room. "Are the rest of you guys alright?"
"I guess." Squall said.
"Good night." Tai answered sternly. He flicked off the light and slammed the door. Repeated punches could be heard outside.
Kari shivered. "I can't believe that guy! Of all the nerve... forget it! I've had enough time deciding! Davis, get out of bed, we're going on a date, NOW!"
Everybody stared at Kari, eyes wide.
Veemon's fist shot into the air. "Woohoo!! Mission accomplished!... .... .Davis? Mission accomplished!.... ..... er, Davis..."
Davis had fainted.
Kari smiled. "Aw, save it for tomorrow night."
********
Ultimanium stepped out of the taxi, in front of Duo and Heero. He stopped midstride.
"Wha...! No way! Davis!"
"Hey, man," Duo asked. "Something wrong?"
"Er.. no. You guys go in and wait at the elevator. I'll be back in a minute."
Ultimanium hopped back in the taxi and drove off.
"Davis, man, if it weren't for that Veemon you wouldn't be so lucky..."
Keyvan : Let the mayhem begin.

A loud thud from the spare bedroom.

Squall handed Davis the Buster Sword. "Use this if things get hectic."
Davis sighed and placed the Buster Sword next to him. He knew how Truth or Dare worked. They normally started out with some pretty soft questions and ended with hardcore stuff. Mimi had an excuse to play Truth or Dare anytime a digidestined group showed up there because the people in the group changed each time. He, however, was a veteran of the game, and was pretty confident that he could last more than 2 minutes this time.
He knew, however, that Veemon wouldn't be so lucky.
Veemon breathed heavy and waited for any incoming questions. But he knew that Mimi would often go first, and then af...
"Veemon! Truth or Dare?" Gatomon yelped.
Veemon stiffened up. "Nonononononononono..."
"Nonononononononononono is an invalid answer. Newbie's grace, Veemon. Try again."
Veemon glanced nervously around the room. Davis motioned a T with his hands.
"T-truth."
"Pretty shoddy." Mimi whispered to Sora.
"He's doing better than Davis has ever, anyways." Sora responded.
Tai stood up with an evil grin on his face. He rubbed his hands together. "Time to get on my feminine side."
He paced at Veemon's feet. "Alright, then.. 'Veemon'... I haven't been attending the digidestined adventures lately, so I wouldn't mind a recap, straight from you."
"Well, after we defeated Ken, we..."
"Wrong answer," Tai barked. "Care pointing out any significant love triangles for me?"
Davis choked. Veemon was toast. And if he wasn't, he would screw up Davis' plan royally.
But he heard something he would never have thought of.
Veemon stood up and paced around Tai, eyeing him. "Lemme get this straight. Your friend..."
Veemon whipped around and pointed. "SORA!!!"
Everyone started breathing again. "has been the target of another digidestined. Ken."
A 'ooooooh' slithered out of the crowd.
Tai stepped back. "Wha--aat?!"
"Oh, don't worry. No hard feelings. Sora is yours, especially since Yolei joined in on the fun and took Ken out of your hands!"
Veemon stepped out of the room, removed the chair from the spare bedroom doorknob, and threw open the door.
"SWEET JESUS!!" TK screamed.
Tai sat dumbfounded.
Kari was shielding her eyes. "When did Yolei get here?!"
Hawkmon hovered in. "What did I miss?"
Ken ran out screaming, attempting to pull up his boxers on the way out.
Veemon smirked. "Ouch." He closed the door. "Perhaps Yolei needs her privacy."
Everyone burst into laughter, including Davis.
"I'm not done yet," Veemon said. "That isn't to say one of you would attempt it."
"You can sit .. HAAAHA... down...... Veemon.... you outdid yourself.." Mimi laughed.
Tai sat down again. "You wouldn't catch me doing that."
"Then what's that for?" He pointed into the corner.
Everyone had thought Tai and Sora were sleeping next to one another, but on further inspection they realized it was a double sleeping bag.
Keyvan : BUM BUM BUUUUUUM
"I need lots of room when I sleep." Tai and Sora said at the same time. They turned to each other and sweatdropped.
"Okay, if that's one of yours' bags, where's the other?"
"At home!!" Tai and Sora yelled. Both ran down the hall.
Everyone was cracking up. Krillin, now awake, fell facefirst on the floor and pounded it with his fist, laughing all the way.
Veemon sat down. "Anyone else care to take me?"
Silence.
"You win, Veemon."
"Hands down."
"You rock."
"If I could figure out what he is, that would've been so much funnier." Gohan sighed.
"I suppose fighting fire with fire was key there." Squall laughed to himself.
Gatomon slapped Veemon on the back, wiping tears from her eyes. "You were awesome there..." she broke into another spasm of laughter and collapsed.
Davis grinned. "Not only did you keep our plan in operation, you're still in the game."
The phone rang. Mimi sprung up. "I'll get it."
Davis, TK, Kari, Veemon, Agumon, Gatomon, Patamon and even Hawkmon sat in the room, giggling to themselves.
"This Sunday? Okay, we were wondering. We'll be there."
Mimi returned to the room. "It was Ultimanium."
Everybody stood.
"He said the competition is going to begin Sunday at midnight. Guys, I'm going to my room. My show's on right now."
Mimi? Skip Truth or Dare? Everybody sweatdropped.
"Are you sure?" Kari asked.
"Definite. Have fun guys." Mimi turned and retired to her room at the other end of the hall.
Davis leaned against the wall and folded his arms. "Sunday? That's 4 days from now! What are we supposed to do?"
"The date's too close to take a return flight to Odaiba," Kari muttered. "We're going to have to stay here."
Krillin sat up. "Hey, tomorrow I'll get a hold of Goku and ask if we can hang out with him for a while."
"I guess that's a plan." Davis sighed. Actually, it wasn't, though no one could think up anything more imaginative.
Tai walked in, picked up his sleeping bag and headed for the living room. "Good night." He tried as hard as could to hide his disgust with the rest of the group, but it didn't work very well.
Davis, TK, Kari, Veemon, Patamon and Gatomon were the only people remaining.
"I guess that was it then." TK said. He climbed into his sleeping bag.
Veemon stopped TK's sleeping bag zipper. "Davis, could you step out for a moment?"
"Oh... sure." Davis slid the door shut as he left the room.
Everyone else positioned themselves in the circle. Veemon drug TK into the ring.
Davis woke up. What did Veemon want to get rid of him for? He turned and tried to open the door. Locked. He put his ear to the door to try to pick up something:
"Davis is down."
"Alright, Veemon, that's just cheating."
Damn it! Davis thought. I still need to play if TK and Kari are still in there! Veemon!! What are you doing?!
"Kari!" Veemon wailed. "Truth or Dare?"
"Truth."
"This is easier than I thought," Veemon said to himself. "Wait up, Davis, you can come back here in a minute."
TK and Kari were talking amongst themselves and didn't hear Veemon.
Veemon folded his hands. "I made the effort of pointing out love triangles in the group, but didn't get them all, as the interrogater kind of had to leave. Do you have anything to add?"
TK nudged Kari.
Kari just kind of sat there. Alright, something is wrong here. She thought. TK never acts like this. That's normally Davis' job... but he hasn't even looked at me since we got here! ... forget it, I bail out here. I need a sign.
"Beats me." Kari replied. She threw up her arms in defeat.
TK was stunned. Say me, bitch!
Keyvan : Er... ok, this is REALLY not right...
Veemon laughed. This is going better than I thought. Just enough leeway for Davis. TK's almost at the same stage of pandemonia as Davis - if I can get him to snap, and get Davis to calm down.... then we win!
Kari retired. TK turned to Veemon. "It's just you and me... do your worst!"
"TK! Truth or Dare?"
"Dare!"
Gohan and Krillin oooohed.
Veemon gestured towards Kari's sleeping bag. "Move your sleeping bag over to Kari's."
TK started getting nervous. "...uh... okay." He dropped his sleeping bag into an empty slot in front of Kari's. Davis' was lined up behind TK's.
"Done." TK announced.
"Veemon!" Gatomon shouted. "That was pitiful!! Veemon's out, hands down!"
Veemon was dead. At least for the time being, anyways. He rubbed his hands together. "Wait, Gatomon. Just wait."
He stood up and unlocked the door. Davis stumbled in. TK was dancing over people's sleeping bags, occaisionaly stepping on Squall's. "I win I win I win I wiiiin!!"
TK tripped on the Buster Sword and plummeted to the ground.
"That's a wrap, people!" Patamon shouted. "Anyone for shuteye?"
Everybody raised their hands. "Aye!"
As everybody hopped in their sleeping bags, Hawkmon yanked the light switch. The room plunged into darkness, and everybody got settled for the long sleep ahead of them. Or not.
*Keyvan taps the Pause button. Everybody boos him*
Keyvan : Alright, let's get this straight. The formation of sleeping bags is as follows: Kari in the top left of the room by the door, TK's at her feet, Veemon beside TK, Davis in the bottom left, Gohan and Krillin aside from him, Hawkmon, Gatomon, Wormmon and Patamon on the far right of the room, and Squall in the top right. Man, I'm lost.
*Random members of the audience throw rotten fruit*
Keyvan : .... forget it.
*Keyvan pushes the Play button again*
Davis sat awake for a while. He held up his watch and turned the indiglo on. 10:34. He was ready to put his head down to sleep. "G'night, Veemon."
Veemon was right at Davis' head. "Davis. You're not going to sleep for a while longer."
"Huh? What's going on?"
"You have to do something about TK, remember?" Veemon whispered. "I paved you a massive path, and you're going to take it whether you like it or not!"
Veemon pointed over into the darkness.
"Eh. ... Kari?" TK grunted.
Kari sat up. "What?"
No response.
She was ready to lie down again. She'd been through a lot today, and.. "Ehhhh.... Kari..."
Kari shot up. "What is it, TK?" She said angrily.
No response.
Veemon chuckled. "TK's off in La-la Land somewhere. It's ticking off Kari."
"...huh? I can't hear or see anything. It's pitch black in here."
Veemon tapped the side of his head. "I have night vision and hearing like a fox. I'll relay." he scanned the area for any happenings.
TK stood up in his sleep.
"I sure hope he unzipped that sleeping bag." Veemon sighed.
TK stumbled, and fell to his side, still tangled in the zipped-up sleeping bag.
THUD
"We're trying to sleep here." Squall moaned.
"Urrggghh!! TK, get back to sleep!!" Kari yelled. That was the only part that Davis heard so far.
Mimi tiptoed into the room from the dark hall.
"Mimi! Incoming!" Veemon said to himself.
Mimi tripped over a loose shoe on the ground.
THUMP
"TK! GET TO SLEEP!!" Kari shouted. Davis heard that, too.
TK readjusted his sleeping bag, though not generally straight.
Keyvan : Turn TK's sleeping bag 45 degrees counterclockwise on my handy chart!
Mimi got up on all fours. She slowly crept toward the sleeping Squall.
"Squall?" She whispered.
Squall shot out of bed, snatched the Buster Sword, and nailed Mimi's nightshirt to the wall.
*RUFFLE* SWISH SKRUNCH
"Go Dad.... kick Bob Dole's ass...." Gohan mumbled in his sleep.
Kari beat TK over the head with a shoe. "Damn... you... TK!!!" Davis heard it, surely.
TK remained asleep.
"Watch out, Squall! Mimi's hitting on you!" Veemon murmured.
"Squall! I was just wondering if.."
"I'm not going out with you, you psycho bitch!!" Squall shouted. Davis heard it.
"Bitch... Maron..." Krillin groaned in his sleep. He started drooling.
TK stood up. He was officially sleepwalking. He turned to Kari. She had fallen asleep as quickly as she started yelling, and was snoozing soundly. TK started to approach her. "Yeeeah..." he mumbled.
Veemon sprung up. "This is it! I have to do this... Davis! When I act, follow my mark!"
Veemon jumped and kicked TK in the back of the knee. He stumbled and fell right in front of Kari. Had he stepped any further, she would be in a killing mood.
TK snapped out of his trance. He threw down his hands to brace his fall, and upon contact with the ground, his arm spread forward.
Veemon couldn't believe it. Perfect. Just perfect.
"Veemon! You little shit!" TK scowled. Davis sulked. The shit had hit the fan.
Gatomon turned over. "What's going on..."
Veemon waved his finger. "Now, now.. you wouldn't want to wake Kari, now, would you?"
"I'll beat you down, you li..." TK tried to move his hand. It wouldn't budge.
Upon further reflection by TK, he didn't want to move his hand. When his hand stretched out after landing the fall, it slid perfectly underneath Kari's ass. There was no way he could move it out without waking her.
TK let loose a wave of sweatdrops. "Alright, Veemon! What do you want?"
"Some discipline by Tai on your behalf." Veemon snickered. He nodded off to Davis.
"JESUS CHRIST, TAI!!! WHAT THE HELL IS TK DOING TO YOUR SISTER?!?" Davis screamed.
This woke everybody up.
Keyvan : No way, it put everybody in New York to sleep.
Tai darted into the room. "WTF is going on here?!"
The lights went on, and they all saw the horrors of Veem.. er, TK's actions.
Krillin covered Gohan's eyes. "You're not old enough."
Veemon whipped around to Tai. "I tried to stop him! Honest!!"
"Thanks, Veemon. TK! What the fuck is wrong with you?!?"
"Er... I .. the.. di...Ve..D..."
Kari, now awake, nailed TK in the face with a punch.
Tai, now aware, nailed TK in the face with a punch.
Gatomon, now available, nailed TK in the face with a punch.
Gatomon hopped off of Patamon. "Thanks. I needed that."
Tai grabbed TK by the neck and threw him out of the room. "Are the rest of you guys alright?"
"I guess." Squall said.
"Good night." Tai answered sternly. He flicked off the light and slammed the door. Repeated punches could be heard outside.
Kari shivered. "I can't believe that guy! Of all the nerve... forget it! I've had enough time deciding! Davis, get out of bed, we're going on a date, NOW!"
Everybody stared at Kari, eyes wide.
Veemon's fist shot into the air. "Woohoo!! Mission accomplished!... .... .Davis? Mission accomplished!.... ..... er, Davis..."
Davis had fainted.
Kari smiled. "Aw, save it for tomorrow night."
********
Ultimanium stepped out of the taxi, in front of Duo and Heero. He stopped midstride.
"Wha...! No way! Davis!"
"Hey, man," Duo asked. "Something wrong?"
"Er.. no. You guys go in and wait at the elevator. I'll be back in a minute."
Ultimanium hopped back in the taxi and drove off.
"Davis, man, if it weren't for that Veemon you wouldn't be so lucky..."
