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 16

Tai was carried to a house that he thinks that seen before. The elder woman place Tai on the couch. The elder woman left the room. Tai try to sit up only to feel a pain in his head. The only way to stop the screeching pain in his head is to lower his upper body. Tai felt something wrap around his neck. Whit great effort, he used his paws to search his collar until he found a device. Looking at his device and remember members as if the device was stored all of his past events. Tai moves his digivice back to his collar. After, Tai was grab from behind.

The elder woman that took in Tai was walking down a wooden pathway holding a small pillow, blanket and a bowl with water and a rag. She enters the living area to find a humanoid fox about her side and cover by yellow furs holding the feline she took in. The feline screams as the golden fox grip grew titer. "Renamon can´t you see he´s hurt," she said, "Put him down. Go warn Rika that I´m going to watch Suzie." After dropping Tai onto the couch, Renamon bowed and vanish. She walks up to Tai lying on couch. "How do you feel?"

"Well the only parts that was not hurt are now," Tai said. Tai never thought that he would see a Renamon or getting crushed by one. If it were not for the elder woman he would be cat food. Tai was glad that he remembers who he is or he may wanted to become the elder lady partner. ‘Now I need to find Kari and the others,´ Tai thought to himself as he try to sit up. He whimpered a little as pain fills his lower body.

"Just lay down and rest. You are still hurt," the elder woman said. She placed a pillow under Tai´s head and then covered him the blanket.

"I can take care of myself," Tai said. He moved a little too fast and cry in pain. The elder woman smiled and pushes Tai back down. Tai yawn and deiced to sleep. The elder woman smiled and walk away to get ready for Suzie. Tai look at Suzie from the tamer show.

Suzie walks into the house with Lopmon in a hug. Suzie wanted to get a dress for Lopmon but she could not find a dress the fit Lopmon so Rika´s grandmother said she would make on. Suzie looks at a feline resting on the couch. "Cute kitty," She yelled as she walks over to hug Tai.

"Kitty is not feeling well," The elder lady, "Let him take a nap." Suzie nodded and follows Rika´s grandmother into a workroom hugging Lopmon the entire way. Tai fell asleep. He was woke when something was stuff down his throat. He looks around to see Suzie pushing a baby bottle tip into his mouth. "Suzie what are you doing?" Rika´s grandmother asked.

"I thought kitty wanted some milk," Suzie said.

"That not how you give milk to a kitty," Rick´s grandmother said.

"How do you?" Suzie asked. To Tai´s joy the little girl removed the bottle from his mouth. Tai´s eyes closed.

"When kitty is walking around then we´ll get him some milk," Rick´s grandmother said, "Come on lets get the dress finish." Suzie nodded and enters the workroom. In a few minutes, Suzie returns looking at Tai. "Suzie, what are you doing?" Rick´s grandmother asked.

"Kitty´s tail is out of the blanket," Suzie said, "it may get cold."

"Kitty want it that way," Rick grandmother lied. She returns to the food she was cooking. There she found an entire egg n the pan she using to cook. With a chuckle she said, "Lopmon, when I said for you to put an egg in the pan, I mean to crack open the egg and poor the inside into the pan."

"Sorry," Lopmon said just like Suzie. Rika´s mother smiles how the more time Lopmon spend with Suzie the more Lopmon acts like Suzie.

"Kitty walking," Suzie yelled as she ran into the kitchen.

"I´ll put some milk down for him," Rika´s grandmother said.

Tai walk into kitchen. He knew that he´ll need help to find the others but at the same time he need to cover who he really is. There he found a bowl of milk with Suzie on one side and Lopmon on the other. They calling Tai to come and drank. Tai´s dry mouth forced him to walk toward the milk. Soon Tai was lapping up the milk. He felt a small paw and a little child hand petting him. Suddenly, Tai was in a bear hug and Suzie rubbing him with her chine.

Rika walk in. "Me and Renamon are going to the park," She said.

"Can you take the digimon that Suzie is hugging? His tamer may be looking for him." Her grandmother asked.

"Fine," Rika said. She grabs Tai and walk away.

"So why are you going to the park?" Tai asked. Tai was surprise when no one jump at a talking cat.

"Stupid Ryo," Rika mumbled. "Let´s have a tournament among friends," Rika said sarcastically. "The only reason he wants a tournament is so he can brag," Rika said with more hatred. "I don´t know how goggle head talk me into it," Rika said as her voice soften.

Rika walk to Guilmon´s old hut. Takato walk up to the red head. "What with the digimon?" Takato asked pointing at Tai.

"Grandma made me bring him," Rika said, "And asked if I could find his partner."

"What can you tell about you partner?" Takato asked.

"You want to skip Ryo´s tournament," Rika said looking at Takato.

"I´m tired of hearing Ryo bragging," Takato said. Takato look at Tai and took him from Rika. "So little one what is your partner is like?" Before Tai could answer, cries came from close by. "That Guilmon and Renamon," Takato said. Rika and Takato ran towards the cry. They ran into fog.

In a clearing, they found two phantomons. One was fighting a Lillymon and the other was fighting Renamon and Guilmon. The phantomon lifted Renamon by his neck but stop to look at the other phantomon. "What are you doing?" the phantomon said as he drop Renamon, "The boss told us to stop the most powerful protectors of the world so stop playing with the butterfly and help me. These two need to die before their humans gets here."

"At least he is brave to fighting someone that can fight back unlike you," a silhouette yelled. Takato and Rika remember that voice from some where but Tai knew who it was.

"You calling me a coward," the phantomon yelled as he left Guilmon and Renamon. Rage filled him as he ready himself to attack to the shadow.

Tai jump from Takato arms and ran at the phantomon. He had to stop the ghost digimon. A beam shot from his digivice to the silhouette and back at him. "Taigermon digivolve to Beast Lillymon." There standing was a copy of Lillymon but this one wore a leopard dress and pink hair that reach haft way down her back. The newly digivolve Tai kick the phantomon to the ground and flew into sky.

"Looking good," Lillymon said. She thought that Tai look cute in his or her new form nut she like is cute and furry cat body. She would not make a play on him because Biyomon was her friend. "Shall we take care of these rags head?" She asked.

"The sooner we beat them the sooner I get out of this body," Tai said as Tai pulled down the skirt trying to make it cover more, "You take the one you that you were fighting and I´ll take the other." The phantomon continue to toward the shadow. "I not going to let you hurt her," Tai yelled. "Beast of Sprite!" Tai yelled.

Something like a cloud swirl between the phantomon and the silhouette. Cloud formed into a tiger. "A cloud can´t stop me from getting revenge," the phantomon said as he tries to slice the cloud tiger. His sickle past through the tiger. The slices distort the tiger but it soon reformed back into the tiger. The tiger release a tiger battle cry as it used it claw to cut at the phantomon. The ghost digimon continue to attack the tiger only to get the same resolute. Tai played cat and mouse with the digimon until he (I mean she) was sure the phantomon was tired enough.

Tai landed on the ground ready to use her finale attack but before she could use her "Rage of beast", a cybernetic dragon flew in and broke the phantomon in pixel. "Great job, Cybordramon," A boy yelled as he enter the fog area. Tai could tell Tai that the late comer was Ryo. Cybordramon walk up to Tai. "Don´t fight," Ryo yelled to his partner.

"Don´t worry," Cybordramon respond. He turns to look at Tai. "How about you, me and a candle light dinner."

"NO WAY, CREEP!" Tai yelled as she throws the ultimate through many trees. He dedigivolve to kidtymon. The fog clears up to show the silhouette as a pink hair teen.

"Mimi," Ryo said as he looks over the teen. He likes the look of Mimi. He may try to get her to date him.

"You are just a TV character," Rika said.

"We could say the same thing," Palmon said.

"Mimi," Tai said to get the taller girl attention, "Why didn´t Kari came looking for me?"

"Sorry Tai, she was too busy try to calm down Gatomon and Agumon," Mimi said, "I´m going to contact the others that you found some friends." Mimi pulled a d-terminal and started to type.

Takato look at the feline rookie. He lowers himself to his knee to get a closer look at kidtymon. "Mimi called you Tai why?" He asked.

"I am Tai," Tai said.

"Sure you are," Rika said not believing what the digimon just said, "Humans can´t become Digimons."

"You do when you bio-merge with Renamon," Tai responded.

"That´s difference," Rika came back.

"If you say so," Tai said. "So what do we do now?"

"Um Boy with the goggle on your head," Mimi said not knowing what to call him.

"Takato," Palmon said calmly.

"Is there a place to meet my friends," Mimi asked.

"There a stone building near the center of the park," Takato said, "That´s where my friends are."

"When we are all together we´ll tell you what´s going on," Mimi said.

They walk to Guilmon´s old home. Henry looks up from his deck of cards. "What´s with the Mimi look a like?" Terriermon asked as he rested on henry´s shoulder.

"I´ll tell you soon," Mimi said. They waited until few large digimons landed. The digi-destined walk into the clearing where the tamers were.

Henry looks over the new arrivals and said, "You´re the real digi-destined. I thought that it was just a show."

Kari, Gatomon and Agumon did not care what the blue hair boy said as they search for Tai. They find him being smelled by a large raptor like digimon. Gatomon and Agumon grab Tai into a hug. Kari picks up Tai and walk back to Tamers and Digi-Destineds. Joe just finish telling why they came.

"So that cat in Kari´s arm is Tai," Takato said. He looks at Tai, his favorite member of the digi-destined. Tai look at Takato. Tai was Takato favorite and then Kari and Davis. They always know what to do unlike him.

Ryo look at Tai and Tai look back at him with his eyes narrow. Ryo never like Tai. Ryo thought that Tai was added in at the last minute. He´ll fight with him but that does not mean he needs to like him. After all, he does not like Takato and Rika but he fight with them.

"We can worry about that later," Ryo said. He was not a fan of Tai. "Today, let´s worry about getting a place for the destineds to stay."

Jeri look as the tamers and digi-destineds mingle. Suzie was petted a cat with two lopmons near by. Kazu and Kenta were going crazy at each digi-destined. Jeri sat under a tree. She kept looking at Tai. She found Tai´s Rookie form was impossibly cute. She was watching Henry talking to Izzy about everything digimon. Ryo was looking calm as if he knew this was going to happen. The fame went to his head.

Kari walks up to Jeri. "Mind it I sit here?" She asked.

"Go a head," Jeri said. She look at Tai sleeping in Kari´s arms.

"Here you can hold him if you want" Kari said as she handed Tai over to Jeri. Jeri look at Tai sleeping in her arms and simple smiled.

Rika was walking away from the park. Kari, Gatomon, Tai and Agumon were going to stay with her. She was glad she did not get Matt, the biggest crybaby of season one, or Davis the biggest fool of season two. As much a she hate to say it but out of all the destined Kari is the one she can stand the easiest. Rika took the long way home so few would see Kari. She still not believe that the cat is Tai.

Rika woke by Renamon trying to wake her. "Rika, wake up," She said in a haft panic. This is the worst panic the fox ever felt. Rika knew this and woke up. She looks into a mirror that Renamon was holding. Rika´s ears became copies of Renamon´s ears but Rika´s were smaller and where Renamon´s ears are golden yellow Rika´s were red.

Why is what happen to Tai is happening to Rika?

Mimi has a role to play with Tai. Not as a partner but something just as good.
