A/N: HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY EVERYONE from AthEnA1999! The results are in, and Jessie has chosen her mate thanks to YOU!

SPIKE: That’s right! You choose who Jessie falls in love with! Sort of like James’s parents.

A BIG thank you to all those voters (including those elementary-school kids on my bus)!!! And I’d just like to tell a certain reader who emailed me that there will be NO gay elements in this story. And another reviewer that you’ll be wounded even more because of an excessive amount of kissing here.

GILES: How can somebody being injured by kissing?
ANT: (reviewer) Argh! My leg broke! They kissed! Argh! My gums have gingivitis because they kissed again!

(It IS V-Day after all!) The idea I had was for Jessie to choose Mondo, but a lot of the people I asked thought differently… Some other weird romantic couples I got suggestions for,

SPIKE: Such as Jessie and Wobbafet.
TAI: EW!
SPIKE: Hey, I remember when we did this thing with really bad lemon pairing. Think this can beat it?

both gay and straight (thank the kids on my bus.): Misty/Myotismon,

TAI: Who’s Misty?
ANT: A whiny brat on the show Pokemon.
TAI: What’s that?
ANT: Never mind.

James/Myotismon, Ash/Jessie (that was my little sister’s idea), Izzy/Jessie, Jessie/Giovanni, Erika/Tai, Domino/Ash, Domino/Tai,

TAI : WHAT!

Tai/Myotismon (hmmmm… Taiyotismon?)

TAI: *passes out* ...
GILES: Well, I think the lad’s out for a while.
SPIKE: No. He has to review!
*Spike leaps for Tai and then falls back, holding his head.*
SPIKE: Bloody hell, the chip! OW!

Tai/James, Ash/Tai, Gary/Matt (thank my sugar high), and an Erika/Jenny/Myotismon triangle (also result of sugar high.).

None of these appear in the story… too bad. You’ll find out who Jessie chooses in this chapter!

ALL: *unenthusiastically* Yay. Whoo hoo.
SPIKE: Well, those pairings definitely beat our pairings. But no Misty and Jessie. I have read a fair amount of those.
GILES: You go for that?
SPIKE: I got bored.

Chapter 12

A V-Day Surprise

Jessie looked again, considering the pros and cons of choosing each one.

GILES: The blue dress was velvet but clung too much. The red dress was nice, and it matched her hair.
ANT: For Jessie. (as Jessie) It’s pink! PINK!
SPIKE: You do that girly voice all too well.
ANT: Are you implying something?
SPIKE: No, nope. Not a chance. *smirks*)
ANT: *fumes* ...

“Choose already,” said Demidevimon, taking out an hourglass.

“Time is passing. Come on! It doesn’t take that long to say you’ll stay with Myotismon!”

TAI: *waking up* What happened?
SPIKE: Taiyotismon.
TAI: AHHH!!! *he passes out again*

“Jessie!” James threw out a rose at Jessie. “Choose wisely! He’ll be the one you have for the rest of your life!”

ANT: Until a divorce, where he takes all you own and leaves you poor and alone. Heeeey…that rhymed!
ALL: *sweatdrop* …

Mondo just looked at his feet.

GILES: (as Mondo) Duh, my feet are pretty. Duh…hahahahahah….duh…

“Agumon, light the fire!” MM commanded as the cage was lifted up and put in another place. The pit was open.

“PEPPER BREATH! PHWOOA!” Agumon let out a blast of fire that lit the pit which was underneath the cage Mondo was in.

SPIKE: Boiled Mondo. Make sure you add the vegatables, and simmer slowly.

The flames from the pit grew so high they reached halfway to the ceiling.

GILES: Of course, the ceiling was only 3 feet off the ground.
TAI: *wakes up again* What happened?
SPIKE: Taiyotis-mrph!

GILES: *covering Spike’s mouth* Stop that.

As the flames licked the air, everyone was growing imaptient, waiting for Jessie to make her decision.

SPIKE: Wazza imaptient?
ANT: I thought we didn’t do spelling riffs?
SPIKE: I couldn’t resist that.

“Come on, Red!” Demidevimon waved the hourglass in front of her face. “Time is running out.”

“Yes, Jessie,” said Myotismon. “You have until the sand runs out to decide.”

“And if I don’t?”

TAI: Then you can’t have any of them!
ANT: (as Jessie) No!!! WAAAAAH!!!
SPIKE: You really do that *way* too well.
ANT: You are really starting to get on my nerves, Spike.
SPIKE: Yes, but you can’t hurt me.

“YOU’RE going into the pit,” said Demidevimon. “All three of your boyriends’ lives will be spared, but you will die.

TAI: They forgot the final quotation mark.

“Choose me,” said Mondo, fending for himself. “Choose me or I’ll be haunting you for the rest of your life. Is this the face you want to see staring at you from the toilet? Or how about the shower? Or hanging from the cliff for dear life? You’ll regret it, missy!”

“Who to choose, who to choose?” Jessie looked around at James, Mondo, and MM, each one hoping that Jessie would choose him and let the other two die. At least Myotismon and Mondo. They hated each other from the beginning, but James didn’t care. She looked at the hourglass. It was almost empty. A few grains of sand were left… now it was close to empty.

TAI: Wait, wouldn’t the last few grains of sand go through and it would be empty by the time they typed that?

“I can’t think!”

GILES: (as Jessie) I can’t think and look beautiful at the same time!

“You better choose me,” said Mondo. “If you don’t and go to hell, tell em Mondo sent you!”

“Why are you making me CHOOSE?” asked Jessie, looking at the hourglass. “I need to know!”

“Come on, Red! Make your decision already!” Demidevimon pestered as the last grain of sand fell from the top to the bottom. “OK, Red! Time’s up! Choose him now and choose him good!”

Jessie stalled for one second, stopping when the name was about to come out. She decided to switch to another, then another, than another, then another.

SPIKE: then another.
GILES: then another.
SPIKE: then another.
GILES: then another.
SPIKE: then another.
GILES: then another.
ANT: then we stopped this nonsense.

Then she only had two to choose from. Finally, she was able to choose

“I have made my decision,” said Jessie. “And I know it will be the right one. I have chosen…”

“Let it be me,” said James.

“Let it be me,” said Mondo.

“Let it be me,” said MM.

SPIKE: Don’t let it be me, said Spike.

...

…

…

GILES: Fic?

…

…

SPIKE: Fic?

…

ANT: Fic?
SPIKE: You know, this is the worst way I have ever read of building suspense.
GILES: *falls asleep*

…

TAI: FIC????

…

…

*They all stand to leave, Spike shaking awake Giles.*

…

“I have chosen… JAMES!”

SPIKE: damn.
(*hey all sit down*
ANT: Just like here. Big shock.

Jessie ran over to James’s cage. “I just can’t believe I left Team Rocket without realizing I’d be leaving you!”

“AW CRAP CRAP CRAP!” Mondo cursed. Then he said a word so awful I can’t bring myself to say it. Yeah, he said the F word.

ANT: Fu-mrph!
GILES: Children are present.
ANT: Aw, Giles, I was only gonna say fuddy-duddy
GILES: Liar.

“Language, Mondo,” said James as the cage was magically unlocked and he bounded over to Jessie and wrapped her in a hug. “That means YOU have to jump into the pit, Myotismon!”

“No!” Jessie shouted. “I can’t leave any of you! Especially not Mondo.”

Mondo lightened up and the angry expression was wiped off his face.

“But I chose James because I’ve been with him the longest. We just go together the best, that’s all. Everyone thinks so.”

TAI: Ah, peer pressure.

“What was your second choice?” asked a hopeful Mondo.

“Myotismon,” said Jessie without thinking. “Without him, I would never have been one with the digi villains.”

Mondo started banging his head against the bars of his cage in agony.

GILES: (as Mondo) no!!! I’m a loser! I never had a chance!!! No!!!

“Yeah, whatever,” said James, who was really happy about his being chosen over the other two male villains. He left Jessie and advanced towards MM. “Now you’re going into the pit, bat face!” He ran back and forced Myotismon to fall into the pit of flames. Trouble is, he wasn’t Myotismon.

SPIKE: He was Bill Gates!
GILES: Huh?
ANT: Ah…evil Bill Gates.

“AAAAAAAAAAH!” screamed a Bakemon with his sheet on fire,

ANT: An EasyBakeOvenMon.

emerging from the pit all scorched and stuff. He started flying around the room. “AAAAAAAAAH! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!”

“I pushed a Bakemon into the hell pit?” James’s eyes were wider than dinner plates.

“No wonder,” said Jessie. “No wonder Myo was stupid enough to let James push him in like that!”

GILES: And the fact that he didn’t use Crimson Lighting or Grisly Wing?

“Myo?” asked Mondo. “What is that, some sort of pet name?”

Jessie turned pink. “Uh… no. It’s his… uh… code name!”

“Really?” Mondo lightened up. “What’s yours?”

GILES: (as Jessie) Candy Cane. I work at the Kitty Kat Klub.
ALL: *stare at Giles and sweatdrop* ...

ANT: He is officially an innuendoist.
SPIKE: Innuendoist?
ANT: Yea, they make innuendo jokes.

“Red,” replied Demidevimon, in on keeping Jessie’s secret a secret.

“Can I have one too?” asked Mondo. “I never got a code name from Giovanni. Can I join Team Rocket Mon?”

“Me too!” James added. “There’s no way I’m going anywhere without Jessie!”

“DON’T FORGET MEOWTH!” Meowth waved his arms around, remembering Gatomon was in Team Rocket Mon. “Meowth wants to join, too!”

“Being in Team Rocket really sucks with our cheese-a-holic boss,” said James. “Besides, we mess up all the time with him around. Being with Myotismon… is probably gonna change everything! He’ll never become a cheese-a-holic.”

GILES: OK? Cheese-a-holic?

“I thought you hated Myo,” said Jessie.

“Not anymore,” said James. “He’s da bomb, what with all the positive stuff Jessie’s said about him. Seeing him made me see Giovani as he really is: a pig.”

GILES: Yes, and the fact that he roots through the trough helped.
ANT: No he doesn’t.
GILES: Work with me here.

“So can we join Team Rocket Mon?” asked Meowth. “Please please please?”

“Why not?” asked Jessie.

“Oh no!” Bakemon exclaimed. “What will the REAL Myotismon think??!!”

“Yes, as long as you don’t call me bat face,” said the real MM, appearing in the doorway.

TAI: what, no trying to kill them?

“Will do, Master Myotismon!” James saluted as Mondo and Meowth were let out of their prisons and cages by magic. They walked up to James and stood on either side of him.

“Yeah, will do!” Mondo saluted and hit James’s forehead.

“Oh, Myo, it’s so good you let them in!” Jessie ran over to MM and embraced him. “Now I have THREE guys to go on missions with!”

“Girls,” muttered Meowth. He looked at this little scene going on between her and MM and added, “Jessie.”

Jessie: Prepare for trouble!

James: And make it DOUBLE double!

ALL: *singing* Double your pleasure, double your fun!
ANT: That could be taken the wrong way.
TAI: How?
ANT: *starts laughing maniacally*

Mondo: To bring all worlds absolute devastation!

Myotismon: To attack all peoples within our nation!

James and Mondo: To fill all worlds with hate, not love!

Jessie and MM: To take over all worlds to the planets above!

Jessie: Jessie!

James: James!

Myotismon: Myotismon!

Mondo: And Mondo!

J&J: Team Rocket Mon, attack twerps and digi-destined at the speed of light!

M&MM: Surrender now or it’ll be your last fight!

Demidevimon: DEMI DART!

Meowth: That’s right!

SPIKE: Is anybody else as confused as I am?
TAI: Well, I didn’t understand half of it.

They all struck an evil pose.

ANT: How exactly do you strike an *evil* pose?

And since over a month had passed since the little accident with the digital warp, the digital world had started to merge with the real world. That meant Whamons and Gesomons in the sea, and so on. Remember the Kuwagamon from the first chapter? Even the LAND was beginning to look like the land from Digiworld. Back to the story.
The new Team Rocket Mon was confronting everyone in Saffron City. And plenty of digis. Including ones that used to work for MM. Like Gekomon.

“Arbok! I choose you!” Jessie threw her pokeball. Out came the evil Arbok that had been there for at least a month.

SPIKE: And had frozen in the curled up position inside the Pokeball, so couldn’t fight.

“Weezing, GO!” James, in a blue Evil Kurt-like ensemble (look in The Digi Story 2 for reference) threw a pokeball as well. Out came a new Weezing. This Weezing was still purple, but it had red masks covering his eyes. Weezing also had some sort of black stuff on its largest head that appeared to be black war paint.

ALL: *singing* War, hooh, what is it good for…

“Ditto, I CHOOSE YOU!” Mondo, who was dressed the sames as James only his costume was red, threw a pokeball and out came Ditto. Ditto had black stuff around its red eyes. It was also wearing one of those spikey dog collar things.

SPIKE: Wait, did someone say my name?
GILES: Sit down, Spike.

“Meowth, I choose YOU!” Meowth hurled himself forward.

“Idiot,” muttered Jessie.

“I choose you, Demidevimon!” Demidevimon flew forward.

“Idiot,” MM muttered back in response.

TAI: Tai, I choose you!
*Everybody glances around*
TAI: What, no idiot?
ANT: You mean you aren’t like that naturally?
TAI: *starts to cry* Hey!
SPIKE: *laughing* this is too classic.

“And who do you choose?” asked Meowth.

“Agumon! Pikachu! GO!” Myotismon commanded Agumon and Pikachu to appear. “Agumon, DARK DIGIVOLVE!”

“Agumon, dark digivolve to… METALGREYMON!” There stood Metalgreymon.

TAI: no. It would be Skullgreymon.
ANT: Just smile and nod.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!” All the humans and digis ran away in terror, but found nowhere to run. Metalgreymon formed a fire barrier around the city, which burned the buildings to the ground. Not even the Gekomon were crazy enough to face MM and his new Team Rocket Mon.

GILES: Newteamrocketmon, the longest named Digimon ever!

The car they were driving screeched to a halt in front of the six of them. The Gekomon stared at them in awe. “Master?” asked the lead Gekomon. “Master Myotismon?”
“Gekomon.” MM advanced towards the car. “It’s been a long time.”

“What do you want to do, go on a date?” asked another Gekomon.

ALL: *sweatdrop* ...

“I have a better idea,” said Myotismon, producing some dark rings from out of nowhere.

“Oh yeah,” said Meowth. “Get the lizards! They can be our chauffeurs!”

“Who’s the kitty cat?” asked the lead Gekomon.

“Meowth, use scratch attack NOW!” Meowth swiped his claws across the Gekomon’s face. Blood started trickling down through the scratches Meowth had made on the face.

“I have an even better idea,” said James. “Pokeball, GO!” He threw the pokeball at the Gekomon… and captured it!

SPIKE: You can capture those things?

“You can capture those things?” asked Mondo. “Sweet, Jim! Now Ditto, transform into a Machamp!”

“MAAAAACHAMP!” Ditto had trasformed even quicker than ever.

GILES: 5 minutes later, he finished transforming.

“And Machamp, throw any people who try to escape!” Mondo commanded.

“Weezing, fill the air with smoke!” James ordered Weezing.

“WEEZING!” Smoke spurted out of Weezing’s smoke-producing things.

GILES: that could be anywhere.
ANT: Even his arse.
SPIKE: If you put a match to it when he produced the smoke.
*Spike gets a severe case of the giggles.*

It filled the streets so no one in Saffron City was able to see anything.

“Arbok, you know what to do!” Jessie cried out.

“CHAAAAAAAAR-BOK!” Arbok poisoned all the digimon he could so they were sedated

ALL: *hum the Offspring*

and that meant MM could capture then and make them his slaves. There were even some people in the mix.

But the highlight of the night was when the smoke had finally cleared. Everything was silent and people were just staring. Their eyes were fixed on the podium, or near the podium. MM was up there with Jessie, James, and Mondo.

“Surrender to us now, humans,” said MM. “For this is my Team Rocket Mon, and they will conquer the earth and Digiworld!”

“And what if we don’t?” asked one person.

“PIKAAAAAAAA…CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!” Pikachu shocked the person to the ground. Everyone backed away because they all surrendered.

GILES: Oh, yea, they are gonna let them off *that* easy?

“And anyone who leaves has to answer to the Gardromon and Tankmon!” Jessie added as plenty of Tankmon and Gardromon surrounded Saffron City.

“So long from Team Rocket Mon!” James exclaimed. “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” All six members disappeared in a puff of smoke as well as Agumon and Pikachu.

“Gatomon?” Meowth asked when he and Gatomon were alone late that night in the castle. “Gatomon! We successfully took over Saffron City!”

“That’s great, Meowth,” said Gatomon. “I’m happy that you joined Team Rocket Mon two days ago.” She looked at her round, white belly and felt the kittens move inside her. “There’s only a few more days left until the kittens come. This can’t go on much longer. Demidevimon thinks I’m hooked on fish, and the master doesn’t know about it because I’ve been concealing myself from view. Sometime I’ll have to admit the thing about the kittens.”

ANT: (as Gatoman) That you aren’t the father. That it is Myotismon!
SPIKE: No, Taiyotismon.
TAI: *falls over and passes out*
SPIKE: Hee hee…I still get a kick outta that.

“We can’t.” Meowth laid his paw on Gatomon and felt a kitten move. “This must be a secret. No matter how big it must be.”

“Meowth, you’re the greatest!” Gatomon lightly hugged Meowth. Then she stepped back. “Why did you take over Saffron City? I mean, shouldn’t you have just stolen all the pokemon and valuables?”

“What do you mean? Why are you asking those questions?” asked Meowth.

“I mean, who wanted to take over Saffron City in the first place?”

ANT: Bill Gates! Down with Bill Gates!
*thwap*
ALL BUT ANT: *put away various weapons*
ANT: *falls over*

“Well it was probably… me.”

“Don’t lie, Meowth. Who said you must take over Saffron City?”

“It was more like demanded we take over Saffron City.”

“Come on! Who was it?”

“It probably sounds typical for now, but it was Myotismon.”

“Why did he want to do that?”

SPIKE: Gee, because he is evil? No, that couldn’t be it!

“Just because he’s evil, I guess. There was something about an eighth child, but that was it. It was something about capturing her to take over all dimensions and stuff.”

“He’s power-hungry, that’s what. And what does he say about you?”

“Well, he always says ‘my Team Rocket Mon’ and stuff. He thinks we’re his. He’s our master.”

“That’s how it is. With him, you might win but you hardly get any say.”

“Well James and Mondo like him now. They think he’s cool.”

“Yeah, well they just wait till James and Mondo see how he’s seducing Jessie and how he’s—“

“SHUT UP! Your master is the coolest around, even if he’s power-hungry and seductive and all that junk.”

SPIKE: Whoa! Backup. Meowth finds Myotismon seductive?
TAI: *wakes up* who finds who seductive?
GILES: Spike, if you say his name, I will hurt you.

“Fine, but maybe he’s too power-hungry and seductive.”

“Aw, you’re just jealous.”

“Fine, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

“Prove it,” said Meowth.

“Fine,” said Gatomon, donning her loose robe so the bulge didn’t show. “Come on, Meowth.” She left the room and Meowth followed. “First stop, James and Mondo.”

They arrived at where James and Mondo slept. They were sleeping peacefully in these really antique beds from possibly the 1600’s in what used to be the queen’s bedroom. (I don’t know what queen, either, so don’t ask!) James was talking about something that involved roses.

ANT: (as James) Put the rose riiight there.
TAI: Where?
SPIKE: He’s as naïve as Ash.

“No, Daddy, don’t take my rose! Don’t take it! No, not Growly! No!” James was mumbling in his sleep.

Meowth pounced on the bed, waking James up. “Hey, Jimmy Boy, wake up!” he hissed at James.

“Whaa? What do you want, Meowth?” asked James.

“It’s Gatomon! She wants to tell you something important,” replied Meowth.

TAI: (as Gatoman) You’re the father.

James was now completely awake. “Can’t she wait until morning? I was in the middle of a dream.”

“No,” said Meowth, jumping onto Mondo. “Hey Mondo! Mondo!

“What’s wrong, Meowth?” asked Mondo listlessly.

“Ask Gatomon,” said Meowth, pointing to Gatomon.

“Gatomon, why did you ask Meowth to wake us?” asked Mondo.

“It’s important,” said Gatomon. “Really important. So important you won’t believe it!”

GILES: *dramatically* (as Gatoman) I have to pee.

“Can’t it wait?” asked James.

“Oh you’re impossible!” Gatomon exclaimed. “I’ll let you in on a big secret. I mean really big. You like Jessie, right?”

“Damn right,” replied Mondo.

“Ditto,” added James.

ANT: Vulpix.

TAI: Psyduck.
GILES: Charmander.
SPIKE: Oh, alright. Jigglypuff.

“Well I don’t know if Jessie likes you much because, well, the master? He seems to have this crush on Jessie although he won’t admit it. And he’s seducing her into liking him. Loving him!”

James’s and Mondo’s eyes grew as wide as plates. Kidding. They didn’t believe a word, actually.

“Come on,” said James. “Everyone knows he’s power-hungry and seductive. I don’t care as long as Jessie isn’t taken away from me and Mondo. Right Mondo?”

But Mondo had fallen asleep. James decided to fall asleep too.

“Losers,” said Gatomon. “I’ll show you, Meowth. I’ll show you something really scary. I’ve seen it for the past few nights. It’ll scar your mind forever.” She dashed out of the room. Meowth followed down darker hallways and everything until they reached the tallest tower. In it was Jessie. (She was awake and… well… dressed differently. It was this pink lingerie thing she wanted to save for James.) So was MM.

SPIKE: GAH!!! Myotismon is wearing pink lingerie? AHH!!!

(He was still wearing the same thing he always wore.)

SPIKE: Oh. Much better.

“Why’s he still dressed the same?” asked Meowth.

“Because he’s a digimon, idiot,” said Gatomon. “They can’t change their costumes unless they mode change or something.”

The cat pokemon and cat digimon peered into the room and saw all the goings-on. Each move made their eyes grow even wider than before. Kissing and embracing like they’d never seen before. Plenty of it. Then there was that thing with hands running through hair. And eyes.

ANT: Hands through eyes? Ow.

And then more kissing and stuff.

The final part was the worst part. And since I’m not making this worse than PG-13, I’ll just say that there might be more cross-breeding than just digimon/pokemon cross-breeding in here. Or there was the danger of cross-breeding.

The next night? She was with James. The night after that, Jessie was with Mondo. But the most sentimental parts were with MM. Everyone wondered why, even Jessie.

Of course, there were a ton of battles with digimon and stuff. And there was still that matter of the eighth child. Myotismon still hadn’t found her yet. And that made him worse. Much worse. Jessie, James, and Mondo didn’t quite understand him yet, and it seemed they never would be able to understand that mon.

GILES: *donning a Jamaican accent* no problem mon.

Then, on the fourth night, a miracle happened. In a dusty room that had never been used. Gatomon was resting on some old carpet when she felt something. She felt that something was not quite right. Luckily, Meowth was there.

“Meowth!” Gatomon exclaimed. “It’s time!” She felt the kittens urging to make their entrances into the world, one by one.

“MEOOOOOWWWWTH!” Meowth screeched, running over to Gatomon.

“Please be here,” said Gatomon. “Please!” She started crying and clutching Meowth’s paw.

SPIKE: And clutched too hard, breaking it.

“You’re not going to die,” said Meowth, watching for any signs of life. “Oh Gatomon, I want my children to live!”

“Me too,” Gatomon agreed. “RRRRREEEOOOOWWWW!” she screeched. “Please, Meowth, leave me here!”

TAI: Didn’t she want him there a second ago?
ANT: I repeat, smile and nod.

“But I can’t!” Meowth insisted. “I must watch our young make their entrances.”

“Leave, Meowth,” said Gatomon. “I’ll be OK.”

Meowth reluctantly left the room and went out into the hall, making sure to shut the door behind him. He waited for two minutes. Three. Then ten. Fifteen. Thirty.

SPIKE: Then 50.
GILES: Then an hour.
ANT: Finally, he just shrivelled up and died.

He started to fall asleep out of boredom,

GILES: That’s real nice. He is supposed to be a worried father. He falls asleep?

but that was before Demidevimon ambushed him.

“Hey, Meowth! Lyin’ down on the job, heh heh heh! I’ve been asked by James to find you for some carrying out evil plans. He says the master’s got a plan to find the eighth child.”

“Whatever now just leave already!”
“And what happened to Gatomon, anyway? It’s like she’s been hiding something from me.”

“Gatomon? Well… she’s just… preparing some big plan.”

“Nice try, now where is she? What’s behind the door?” Demidevimon flew above Meowth and brandished a Demi Dart. “If you don’t tell me I’ll give you the darting AND tell everyone about your little catnip problem!”

SPIKE: catnip problem? *bursts out laughing* This is almost as good as the Jisaku-hime stuff.

Meowth looked mollified. Besides, he had to tell everyone sooner or later, otherwise they’d find out. He took a deep breath and said, “Kittens.”

Demidevimon started laughing. It sounded sort of like fingernails on a chalkboard. “Really, Meowth! You think that alibi’s gonna cut it?”

“No, really, kittens! Gatomon’s been expecting kittens for three weeks. She lied and said it was just fish, but it’s not fish. I can prove it to you.”

TAI: How?

Just then a high-pitched meow sounded in the room, followed by a few more of different pitches. There were seven altogether. Meowth looked at Demidevimon, and they went into the room to see Gatomon lying peacefully on the carpet with seven little kittens that had Meowth’s charm and Gatomon’s cuteness. The eyes were the cutest eyes in the world. They even had Meowth’s sharp claws. And could talk.
“KITTENS?!” Demidevimon was astounded. “I can’t believe it! Kittens! Gatomon had kittens?! You are in so deep, Gatomon!”

ALL: *hum Sum 41*

“Hey shut up or I’m going bowling and using you as the ball,” said Gatomon.

“HA!” Demidevimon laughed. “Not likely. If I keep your secret, you gotta tell Master Myotismon to give me a promotion!”

“Done,” said Meowth, shaking Demidevimon’s wing.

And the perfect time to do so? During their next mission.

A/N: The V-Day surprise was kittens! ^_^ Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Oh by the way, Jessie/James got 18, Jessie/Myotismon got 14, and Jessie/Mondo got one measly vote (which was mine!)

ALL: *koff* Loser!
