Disclaimer- I do not own digimon

Note: Forget the 25 years later stuff at the end of series 2, this may change some of their lives from it. Malomyotismon was defeated a few months early and most people forgot most it but not the digi-destined and some others.

Tai lifestyle change part 14

"But digimons can't be their own partner," Izzy said.

"You're right but you are thinking too small," Jennai said as he rose to his feet, "I'll try to make it as simple as possible." Jennai pause to pick up Tai. He rubs the back of Tai's ears. Tai smile as he listens to Jennai. "All digimons need three things to digivolve. An activation code, a DNA code, and energy. The energy comes from the partner as well as the digimon itself. The DNA code helps determined what digimon the digimon is going to digivolve into and that is proved by the partner. The activation code, which is also provided by the partner, starts the digivolving process."

"What does all this do with Tai?" Davis asked. He just want to know what Jennai knows about Tai not Digimon biology. Davis hates it when some one talk complicated around him it make him feel mocking him.

"That's was what I getting to," Jennai said. He handed Tai to TK. TK took over petting Tai. "As you know Tai is not fully digimons and does gives part of the information need to make him digivolve. Tai can use his digivice to give enough of the activation code that anyone with a digivice finishes the activation code. Tai does need a human to give him the DNA code and energy. So not only is Tai all of you partners, each one of you will make Tai digivolve differently."

"Why is my and Kari's crest also is on Tai's tail ring?" TK asked as TK place Tai on the ground.

"I don't know," Jennai said, "I do know you don't need Tai to help with the activation code. I could go a research. I'll contact you if I learn anything. Why don't you return to your world." Soon he vanishes into the jungle.

"I guess Jennai's people don't like small talk," Davis said Tai jump into his arms. Davis started to pet Tai.

Tai came with home with Mimi. He and the other digimons were waiting at the table to get food. Mimi made a stew from what she could find. She served each at the table but she would not let them eat until she was done. Then, she sat in her seat. "Eat up," She said with a sweat tone, "you earn it."

Tai was licking up his milk from a saucer as he thought of a way to eat his soup. "Tai," Lopmon stop eating giving into wonder, "What is it like to have unlimited many partners? I work for months to get one partner but you get to have limitless partners." She to stop and look at everyone looking at her, "While I'm asking you, why did Jennai say you were not a full digimon?" She thinks that Tai is short for Taigermon.

Tai stop licking up milk and said, "I was human about a week ago and I don't know what it is like being partners to that many humans." Tai crudely grab a spoon and poor soup into his mouth.

Kari came into the apartment. She had forsaken her bag in the hall and walk to the table. She dropped into her chair at the table. Her face did not have a single ounce of its normal perkiness. Mimi pours some of the stew into Kari's bowl. "I never thought working could take more out of me than being a digi-destined. The only thing that was easy was keeping a smile."

"How about I go shopping for food," Mimi offers trying to comfort Kari, "You're out and it's the least I can do."

"Thanks," Kari said as she stood up and walk away. She forced herself to the couch. Soon Two digital cats join her. Agumon walk up to the VCR and started the digimon tamers they taped while they save the Digi-World. Palmon stop eating her stew when she heard the theme song.

Palmon came to the living area. She found Miko cleaning Lopmon's fur like a mother cat. The digital felines were lying on Kari. Agumon was lying on the floor in front of Kari. Agumon look at Palmon. Palmon could see danger in Agumon eyes. Palmon plan to talk to Agumon about his behavior but at the moment she was going to watch the show.

When the show was over, Palmon look around. Miko and Lopmon ran off to play. Kari, Tai and Gatomon were resting. Agumon fell asleep in front of the couch. From watching the show, Palmon understood why Agumon gave her the threatening look. Guilmon does not belong with of digimons Like Guilmon, Agumon never found his place in the digital world. Kari scoops up Agumon and placed him on her legs. Agumon return to sleep. Agumon would hurt any one that try to hurt those that makes his place in the universe.

Kari giggled as watch Gatomon trying to make sure Tai can not see Kari. She went into a full laugher as Gatomon continue trying to block Tai's sight with her back paws. Mimi walks into the area. Her right hand was behind her back. "Tai, you should see yourself?" She said.

Tai look at his body and said, "I don't see anything wrong."

"What I mean is you don't act like you," Mimi said.

"I don't follow," Tai said.

"I think that Mimi means that you don't act like you did when you were human," Kari said. Tai look at Kari trying to completely under stand what Kari said.

"I may be easier to show," Mimi said showing the solar ball in her hand. She drops the ball on the ground and the Tai jump to get it. "See would you pounce that ball when you were human?" Mimi asked.

"No," Tai said with panic raising, "What if I do this when I'm at school?"

"Calm down," Kari said, "Agumon warn us about it. Since you are a cat then you are going to act like a cat." Tai drop the ball ready to hunt it again. Before he could get the ball, Gatomon already got it. Soon Agumon joined the two in the game. They played until it was time to go to sleep.

They sleep with the same arrangement as the day before. Tai awoke feeling something wrap around him. Gatomon has hugging him. The Tai felt something like wet sandpaper sliding ups the back of his neck. Tai relies was licking her. Tai struggle to get free but Gatomon held a strong grip. He failed to get free and soon gave up and fell asleep in Gatomon's arms.

Tai awoke to a small bang. Tai open his eyes to see a mini Rex. Normally Tai would be lucky if he see shadows now he can see Agumon. Small dinosaur was not as clear as he is in day light. "Agumon, a little help," Tai whisper so he would not wake Gatomon.

"Look like she got you in a hug," Agumon said.

"Call you help me get free?" Tai asked.

"No," Agumon said simple.

"Why?" Tai ask as he renews his struggle.

"A gatomon's sleep hug is almost impossible for a rookie to brake," Agumon said. Agumon started to rub the back of Tai's right ear. Tai closed his eyes and started to fall into a world of pleasure. When Agumon stop rubbing Tai's ear, Tai was so relax that he fall asleep in seconds. Agumon smile as he walk away to get something to eat.

Tai woke to sunlight beaming his eyes. He found that he was free of Gatomon's bear hug. Other than the sleeping Mimi and Palmon, the room had no one in it. Tai walk into living room. There he found Kari, Agumon, Gatomon and Chinese takeout. "We're out of food," Gatomon said, "This was the only place open. So you two are going to Sora's shop?"

"You're coming with us," Kari said.

"I never been to Sora's shop before but why?" Gatomon asked as she grabs a fortune cookie.

"During my lunch brake you are going to the vet," Kari said.

Gatomon remember that it was her time to get a shot. The fur on the back of her head stood up. She opens the fortune cookie and started to read the fortune. "Great just great," Gatomon said after reading the fortune.

"What does it say?" Agumon asked, "My says 'Eat hardy you never have when an adventure will come your way'."

"My says 'beware of that which prick you skin'," Gatomon said.

"My says 'a double headed dragon has a life twice as hard'," Tai said.

"We need to get going," Kari said, "I can't be late opening the store. Tai, Gatomon, I want you to get in the bag." Both cat digimons moan but fallow Kari's instructions. "Agumon can you tell Mimi I took Gatomon with me?" Agumon nodded while noodles hang from his mouth. Kari walks over to her bag and zips it up. She rushes out the door to get to the shop.

The entire trip Tai and Gatomon try not to hit each other. When they were freed from the bag, Gatomon found herself in a new world. She started to investigate the shop's work area as Kari and Tai got the place ready to open the shop.

"Gatomon follow me," Tai said as he took off his tail ring and gloves, "I think you'll like the flowers." Gatomon nodded and removed her glove and tail rings. She ran after Tai.

Tai was right. Gatomon love all of the flower smell and look. Sora's shop was like a perfect garden. Soon, Gatomon and Tai were lying on the back taking in the artificial sunlight. The two were resting on a small lawn with the tree that Tai and Biyomon ate under. Kari yelled that she was going to open the shop. The morning was calm but for one time a little girl giving both in a bear hug.

When it was lunchtime, Kari locks the door and walk up to Gatomon and Tai in the back room. "I just want to rest," Kari said as she fell into a chair.

"They why don't you," Gatomon said.

"Nice try Gato," Kari said, "you are still going to the vet." She walks over to the basket she brought to take Gatomon to the vet. She found Tai sitting in it. "Out," Kari said trying to make a stern voice.

"I don't like being alone," Tai said.

Gatomon jump into the basket and said, "If Tai goes then I'll go." Kari gave up pick up the basket and left the shop.

Kari sat in the waiting room. A blue hair future doctor came in with an animal cage. "Joe what are you doing here?" Kari asked.

"Someone got kick down the stairs," Joe said showing Kari that Gomamon was in the cage. "I did my best but I'm not a vet."

Then the vet came out and said, "Kari, I'm ready."

"Great," Kari said, "My friend have an animal that need to be look at."

"I'll have my inter do a check up and She'll tell me if I need to do a check up," The vet said.

Joe enters the examination room and sat in a chair waiting for someone to come. Joe placed Gomamon on the table. Gomamon's front left paw was wrap. He pulled a muscle in that paw. Joe was over joy that was the injury that he found. Gomamon was looking around his was on of the few times that he was nervous.

Soon a female about the same age as Joe enters the room. She had green hair that reach down haft way down her back. She wore the pair of glasses as Joe. She wore a lab coat with blue pants. "Hello I'm Jill," she said, "I never did this with out a Vet watching me." She looks at her the animal she was going to examine. "A gomamon," she said.

"How do you know he's a gomamon?" Joe asked a little shock.

"I have a gomamon for a partner," Jill said as she opens a cabinet showing a gomamon.

"Hey I'm Heytro," the gomamon said as Jill placed him on the table. "What happen to you?"

"Joe's little sister kick me down the stairs," Gomamon said as Jill started to examine the seal digimons.

"The only injury I could find was the pull muscle in his frond left paw," Joe said.

Jill searches over Gomamon. "You're right," Jill told Joe, "How could you tell?"

"I want to become a doctor and I dealt with a few injury," Joe said.

"Hey Joe," Gomamon said, "We don't have anything planed why don't us four spend the rest of the day together."

"Why don't we spend the rest of the day together," Joe repeated his partner.

"I'll ask my boss," Jill said.

"Of course she can," they both turn to look at the vet. Their bodies block the digimons from the view of the vet. "Sorry for just walking up but I need some needle to give shoots to Gato."

Kari ran to the flower shop. Gatomon was already feeling the effect of the shoots. She found the car park in front of the shop. Kari knew it was Sora's mother's car. She ran into the shop to see Sora's mother at the counter. "What happen?" Kari asked.

"My husband got called away," Sora's mother said, "I'll work for the rest of the day. Could you spend some time with Sora?"

"It's better than working," Kari said. Kari walk to Sora's room as Gatomon rested next to Tai. She came into the room. Sora was hugging her pillow with Biyomon nearby. "Hey," Sora said not caring that a tear fell on her pillow. Biyomon rub Sora trying to reassure her partner.

"So your father had to cut your vacation short," Kari said as she lifts Gatomon into her lap, "I wish my parents could take me on a vacation. Lately I rarely get to see my mother or father. It's funny, they work so hard to give us some a good life that the push themselves up the ranks to where they struggle to stay in our lives."

"I guest that I'm luckier than some," Sora said trying to make herself happy.

Tai jumped out of the basket then look up at Sora and said, "When I'm human again, who about the three of us and our digimons go on a vacation." Sora smiled.

Jennai look at a screen with a smile. He did not find a cure for Tai but he found the one that may know the cure. He'll planed to tell the digi- destineds tomorrow.
