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 37

Tai's eyes slowly open to the morning light. Tai rub his face and after a short stretch he walks from the room. He found Kari cooking a breakfast. Kari smiled and looks down at Tai. "You and Gatomon played until you both asleep," Kari said, "How about you get dress and then come to eat. We'll see how much your behavior changed."

"Fine," Tai said as he walks away on his back paws. His tail sways behind him. Tai enter the room and look around to make sure no one was around him. He closes his eyes. Slowly his he felt his body change. He looks at his human face. It's been a long time since he just looks at his human face. His stair deep into his eyes. Sometime he was able to see his Taigermon form in them. He rubs his face and return to getting his clothes. He place one of his headband into his pocket. Soon he returns to Kari as a human with some of his normal clothes. He sat at the table and started to reach for the eggs. He was about to grab the eggs until he look at his hand and turn to grab her fork. "So any plains?" Tai asked.

"Well the other are coming her to drop off the digimons and we're going to spend the day as normal humans," Kari said, "You know a movie and something to eat and a little shopping."

"That dose not sound that bad," Tai said after he finish his meal. He turns to the two digimon as the table. "Gatomon, Agumon you are in charge of the apartment while we're gone. No matter what Gabumon and Palmon said."

"We'll try," Agumon said, "But they'll yell if we do something that they don't want us to do."

"I'll talk to them," Tai said.

Tai stood up and walk to the living room. He just stares at the room that he spent most of his time as a digimon. Tai chuckle at how much one room can change. Tai stretch his hands up and rub the roof. The roof that was like the sky to his digimon form. He sat at the couch. The couch that he was proud of being able to get up onto.

About a haft an hour later the group the digi-destineds and Jeri was at the apartment. "Okay we're leaving," Tai said, "Gatomon, Agumon you're in charge." Tai lead the group out of the apartment. Tai stop when he saw a female teen he never seen before. She hid light brown hair that reaches haft way down her back and she wore a pink skirt and a pink t-shirt with a yellow smile face. "I never seem you here before," Tai said, "Just moved in?"

"Yes, I did," the teen said, "No if you don't mind…Move! I'm trying to go home."

"I'm just trying to be nice," Tai said.

"Well, I don't like jock," the teen said, "and from what I hear you're the biggest jock around." She walks by Tai clearly making an effort to raise her nose into the air and stop near Izzy and Matt. "You both cute. I'm Amy." She then handed Izzy and Matt a piece of paper. "Here my number and my e-mail. Call me sometime." She gave them a smile as she walks away.

"Okay," Izzy said.

"I have someone that I am trying to get with," Matt said.

Tai watch as she walks into the room. "What with her I was just trying to be nice?" Tai asked.

"I'm glad she doesn't like you," Sora said.

"I agree," Mimi said, "So what movie should we see?"

"Any just so I don't need to ride in a bag," Tai said getting into the elevator.

While they were choosing a movie to watch, they heard a female voice from them, "Joe."

Joe turns to look at Jill. Joe smiled and said, "Jill, Sorry I didn't call lately I've been busy. But right now would you like to watch a movie with me. I'll pay."

"Sure," Jill said, "But only if I pay for a meal after and we go to another movie theater."

"I'll see you later," Joe said to the group before he walks off with Jill.

"So which movie?" Mimi asked.

"Action," Davis said.

"Romance," Yoli said grabbing Ken's arm. Ken rolls his eyes.

"Why don't Tai pick," Cody said. Tai smiled and choose the movie he wanted.

Soon they walk into the theater. Ken sat at the end of the roll and Yoli sat next to him. Tai sat at the center with Sora on one side and Kari on the other. Mimi walks up Kari and asked, "Kari do you mind moving over?"

"Sure," Kari said trying to smile. She moves two seats over. TK and Davis sat next to Kari. Jeri sat on the other side of Davis.

After the movie was over, the group went to a small café. Tai sat looking at his food before him. Tai smiled and grab the food and shove the food into his mouth. He stop and look at the group with their eyes lock one him. He stops and bows his head. "Sorry," he said. He started to eat once more but slower.

"Hey Izzy," Matt said looking at the red head digi-destined.

"I'm E-mailing Amy," Izzy said. "That's strange," Izzy said while typing on the computer.

"What is it?" Tai asked.

"It almost as if the gateway to the Digi-World is open but it not from our world," Izzy said.

As Tai ate he felt a tingling in his ears. He felt it before as he changes form. He stood up. "What's wrong?" Kari asked.

"I need to go home," Tai said, "You know what I had for the last few days. I think it's coming back. I'm going home."

"I'll come with you," Kari said. Tai nodded and both walk from the café. Tai and Kari carefully move to their apartment building. About halfway Kari pulled Tai into an ally.

"What did you do that for?" Tai asked, "I want to get home as soon as I can."

"You ears are changing," Kari said, "They're not human."

"Good thing that a brought a headband," Tai said placing his head over his ears.

With luck they were able to get to the building and into the elevator with no one seeing Tai changing. While on the elevator, Kari looks at Tai. He was about haft way being a digimon. His ears were his digimon; Kari could clearly see a tail under his baggy shirt. He was smaller than Kari. "Tai," Kari said, "I look and then you can follow me."

Luckily they were able to get to the apartment without anyone noticing Tai. Unfortunately when Kari enters the apartment, her mother ran up to her. "Kari," Her mother said, "I can't find Junior." She stops and look at Tai behind Kari. "Tai…how…why?"

"Mom you may want to sit for this one," Kari said lead her mother to the couch. Tai follow while he held up his shorts.

"What's wrong with Tai?" Tai's mother asked as she sat on the couch. Tai clime on to the couch lost his shorts in the process leaving only his shirt to cover him.

"Well," Kari said as she took a seat in a nearby chair, "There this world called the Digi-World and from that world comes digimons. Like Gatomon."

Gatomon stood on her back paws and walk to Kari's mother. "I'm Gatomon. I'm Kari's partner."

"Gato you can talk," Kari's mother said trying to keep from panicking.

"I can do more than talk," Gatomon said as he jump onto the chair that Kari was on, "Kari and I are the partners. We work together to protect the Digi-World."

"We wanted to tell you," Tai said. He was almost his full Gatomon form. "But the more we told the more likely other will find out."

"Dose Tai have a partner?" Tai's mother asked.

Agumon walk from Tai and Kari's room. He stood before Tai's mother and said, "I'm Agumon. It nice to meet you Tai Mom."

"Well," Tai's mother said taking a deep breath, "This is a lot to take in. You two still lied to me about what happen to Tai. I don't know if I can handle this."

"You hate me like this," Tai said before he broke into crying.

His mother quickly pulled him into a hug. "Tai, I'll love you no matter what body you are in." She looks at the digimon she thought was Junior. "But in this body you're so cute and huggable." She pulled Tai into another hug. She lowers Tai to her lap. Then she removed the shirt that covers Tai. She looks at Tai and said, "Now I know why I like Junior." Tai got comfortable on his mother lap.

"Mom what are you doing here?" Kari asked.

"Well you see I quit my job," Her mother said, "You see a few clients did not like how the company run but they like how I work so I decided to start my own. I got an office in the city. I get to stay here most of the time."

"That's great," Kari said, "Some others are going to come by to pick up their digimons."

"I guess that's okay," Kari's mother said. The she look down Tai resting on her lap. Her rubbing Tai's back made to start to purr. "Tai." Tai look up at his mother. "I hope you don't mind we he have guess and you're a in that body you need to act as a cat."

"I've been doing that," Tai said, "Gatomon and Miko been teaching me how. Where is Miko?"

"I think she in the extra room sleeping on that brown rabbit toy," His mother said.

"Mom," Kari said, "That toy is Lopmon Miko's partner."

"Well if a cat can have a partner, I should be able to get one," Kari's mother said, "Tell me more about what you done." Kari starts to tell her mother about what happen because they were digi-destineds. Sometime Tai, Gatomon or Agumon tell a part. One by one the other digi-destineds came to get their partners.

"Well you both did a lot," Tai's mother said. She stood up after a long story. This movement woke Tai, whose head was resting on her lap. Still not fully awake, Tai look around for his lost warmth and comfort.

"You're not mad about lying?" Kari asked.

"If you lie about breaking something then I would," Kari's mother said, "but you lie to protect a world so I can't get mad." She looks at a clock. "Well look like it's time for me to start cooking."

"Wait," Gatomon said. She quickly started to think about how she did not need to eat Kari's mother cooking. She like the lady but not her cooking. "This is you're first time home in a long time why not let Tai cook."

"Can Tai cook as a digimon?" Tai's mother asked.

"With Kari's help I can," Tai said.

Soon they were around the table. "I can't believe I was out cook by my own son," Tai's mother said.

"I'm sure Tai can give you lesion," Agumon said.

"Speaking of Tai," Kari's mother said, "What are we going to do about you? Can you change back?"

Tai nodded his head and said, "I can but at the moment it's block some how. I'm sure it will come back."

"That's good," Tai's mother, "Dose Joe's father know?"

"Yes," Kari said, "But why?"

"Well," Her mother said, "I want to see if he can say that Tai have a problem that makes him missing school from time to time."

"Is that lying?" Gatomon asked, "I though he could loss his job doing that."

"Tai have been missing school because of this," She said, "How about I rent a movie or two and we can send time together."
