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 39

Kari walks into her apartment. Tai and Gatomon were pulling on a stuff toy. They stop and look at Kari. They ran to her. She looks at the two digital feline and found a few things missing. "Where are your tail rings and gloves?" Kari asked. Both feline try to talk the toy still in their mouth. She try to pull it from their mouth only to have two feline pull on to toy. Kari pulled the toy up with the two hanging from it. Soon both digimon fell to the ground. "As I ask before. You are your tail rings and gloves?"

"Mom took them," Tai said. "We've been waiting."

"How about we watch some TV until then," Kari said. They nodded and follow the human.

The wait was not long before Tai's mother return. She smiled as Tai ran to her. She smiled as what she understood what Tai wanted. She walk over to the closet and open it. She pulled Tai and Gatomon's loves and tail rings off the top shelf. Gatomon and Tai quickly put them on and ran off for a night of fun.

The next morning Tai and Kari's mother walk into her children room. She woke Kari up and lower to look at Tai's bed. There she saw small t-rex sleeping next to a feline. She rub the feline. "Tai," She said in a soft voice, "Time for school."

Tai open his eyes and ran from the room. Tai walk back into the room rubbing the back of his head. "Forgot," He said, "I can't go to school with a tail."

"I'll leave you," his mother said.

Shortly after Tai walk into the dinning room where his mother was placing some food on the table. Just like ringing the dinner bell, the smell brought the digimon running to the table. "I guess we won't spend your day here right Tai?" Gatomon asked.

"That's right," Tai's mother said, "just because he can be a digimon that is no reason to miss school. I hope you're not too far behind."

Ta stops eating and said, "Sora helps me."

"That is nice of her." His mother said, "You need to thank her some how."

"Need to get going," Tai said. Kari follows her brother from the room.

Tai sat in his matt class. He watched his teacher write a problem on the board. The teacher then turn to her class. She push her glasses back to her nose. "Can any one solve this?"

The boy before him raised his hand and said, "Three."

"No," The teacher said.

A girl from the other side pf the room raised her hand. "Six."

"No," The teacher said, "Since all of you are guessing, Tai why don't you try to solve it."

Tai look at the problem and said, "There is no real answer."

"Tai," the teacher, "You been gone for about two weeks and you the one person that should not know it got it right." The teacher turn back to the board. "A square root can not be negative."

Tai smile to himself and he whisper, "Thank you, Sora."

Tai's other classes before lunch was uneventful. Thanks to Sora he was not far behind as could be. After he got his lunch from the line, he walks to the table the others normally sat at it. Matt and Izzy were already there. Tai sat across from the two. "So Tai how is it to be back after so long?" Matt asked.

"Not bad," Tai said, "I could be worst if not for Sora tutoring me."

"Hey," Sora said as she walk up to the table with Mimi next to her. She sat on Tai's left and Mimi sat on his right side. "So Tai how is your day going?"

"Not as bad as I though it would be thank to you," Tai said, "My mom said I need to thank you some how."

"Well," Sora said almost thinking, "There this movie I want to see but I don't want to go alone."
"I guess I could go with you," Tai said, "So when do you want to go?"

"Tonight," Sora said.

"Hey," Mimi almost yelled, "Why do you go to the movie with her?"

"I help Tai," Sora said, "You didn't do anything."

"I was...sick too," Mimi said.

"I guess you could have done something else," Sora said.

"I did stay with Tai and help him with his...sickness," Mimi said, "Doesn't that count?"

"No," Sora said.

"That's mean," Mimi said.

"Would you two stop," Tai said, "Mimi, I'll take you to the movie tomorrow."

"I like that," Mimi said with a smile.

"I'll see you tonight," Sora said.

"Okay," Tai said.

Tai walk into his last class, biology. He looks at his teacher Mrs. Weaver. She wore a black skert with a red top. "Tai," She said, "I'm glad to see you're well again. I hope you're not too far behind."

"Sora has been helping," Tai said.

"Well class is about to begin so take you seat," Mrs. Weaver said. Tai walk Izzy as he made his way table where Mimi and Sora were. "Class," Mrs. Weaver said. Every one in the class looks at their teacher. "We have a new student Amy Stiles." Amy walks into the room. "You may sit next to the boy with the large hair."

"Great," Amy grunted. On her way to her seat, she stops next to Izzy. "Izzy," she yelled grab him in a hug. Mrs. Weaver made a loud grunt. Amy smiled and ran to her seat.

"Now that every one is in their seat," Mrs. Weaver said as she walks to her desk, "You are going to start a project. The point is to see the difference between domesticated and wild animals." She pick some envelopes from her desk. "In each there is a domesticated animal written down on a paper in it. Each table will compare these to wild counterpart. Also in there, is what I want in you presentation." She walks to each table dropping an envelope onto each table. "The rest of the time I'll leave you to talk about this."

"What dose it say?" Mimi asked as Sora open the letter.

"Cats," Sora said.

"I love cats," Amy said.

"Well Tai lived with a cat his entire life," Mimi said sitting next to Tai, "I'll help Tai study cats while you to study wild cats."

"I'll work with him," Sora said sitting next to Tai as well.

"I call it already," Mimi said wrapping around Tai's arms.

"It doesn't matter," Sora said also wrap around Tai's arms.

"It dose," Mimi said as she pulled on Tai.

"I've been Tai's friend longer," Sora said pulling on Tai.

"That doesn't matter," Mimi said pulling on Tai again.

"It dose more than calling him," Sora said pulling on Tai.

The two continue to pull on Tai until Amy yelled, "I had enough." She walks over to Tai and punches him off his seat taking the other two with him. Then she looks at the rest of the class staring at her. "Teacher," Amy said, "Can I change group?" She walks over to Izzy. "I want to get with my boyfriend." She grabs Izzy in a hug.

"You just hit Tai," Mrs. Weaver said, "And you want to change group. I should send you to office but since it's your first day I'll let it slid...this time. Now let's get back to work."

Tai, Sora, Mimi and Amy got back onto his seat. "Let's try to work together," Tai said.

"Well you lived with cat for all you life. How do you think we should study you cats?" Sora asked.

"I could see how they act with human around and without," Tai said, "Before let's get something about wild cats."

"Who made you the leader?" Amy asked.

"Dose it matter who the leader is?" Sora asked, "It's not like we're going to save the world. Lets just do the project."

"Can we start tomorrow?" Amy asked, "I have a date with Izzy."

Meanwhile Rika sat on the floor. She was using Sora's laptop to search the web. Sora's mother placed it the carpet so Rika and Takato could use it with more ease. Rika still need to peck at the keys. Rika watch as a window pop up. "Sora got an e-mail." Takato walk up behind her. Moment later Renamon appear and lifted the laptop up. "Hey," Rika yelled, "I was going to read that."

"Too bad," Renamon said.

"Guilmon," Rika and Takato yelled.

Guilmon stop eating his bread and said, "Listen to Renamon."

"Lets see," Renamon said. She started to read the screen. "It's from Gennai. Controlmon's forces are taking over the water source of the desert."

"Let's go," Rika said. She balls her fist and punch her other paw.

"We'll wait for the other," Renamon said.

"Why should I listen to you?" Rika asked, "You're my partner."

"Do you want me to tell Jeri?" Renamon said.

"No," Rika said with a low tone. Her ears lowed. She hated the digimon in her. She could not help but feel sad when Jeri is mad at her.

"Good," Renamon said, "We'll wait for the others. Then we'll stop him."

The wait was not long for the other to return. When Jeri and Sora enter, Rika ran up to them. "Controlmon is up to something," She yelled. Jeri smiled and pets her partner's head. Jeri still trying to get over how much Rika's behavior change as a digimon. The digimon Rika seam to smiled much more as well as more play fun and ready for a fight.

"I hope it doesn't take too long," Sora said, "I have a date with Tai."

"What," Biyomon yelled and flew to her partner. "How dear you date my boyfriend with out me knowing."

"You're not dating," Sora said, "Beside Mimi is going out with him as well."

"What!" Biyomon yelled, "Who else is trying to take my boyfriend?"

"He's not you're boyfriend," Sora said, "You went on one date that all."

"Do you mind that we save the day then you can fight," Rika said. Sora and Biyomon stare at each other for a while and then they walk into the computer room and then return.

In the digi-world, the digi-destined gathered. "Where do we start?" Tai asked.

"Well there ten oasis and three lakes and five rivers," Izzy said, "There one oasis is about a mile away."

"We take them all so we're going to take a large water source and keep it," Tai said.

"What is that going to do?" Matt asked.

"Give digimons a safe place to get water as we get the rest of the other water source," Tai said. Matt look at Tai in a little anger in his eyes. He made a smug smiled and cross his arms.

Izzy lead the group to the lake. About a dune or two away they were laying one a dune. Using the slope to hid them. A control spire rose from the center of the lake. There were a few digimons patrolling around the lake. "Good luck Kari," Tai said, "We can't help with that control spire."

Kari smiled a way Tai did not like. "Yes, you can," Kari said.

Moment Later, Tai was walking to the lake as Taigermon. He wonder why he didn't think of it. He felt much cool as a digimon. His fur like Gatomon's was made to handle high temperature after all gatomons live in jungles. He sat on the edge of the lake and started to lick up water just like Kari told him to.

As he drank, he saw two shadows walk behind him. "Hey you," a digimon behind him said. Before Tai could turn around, he heard two screams. He turns to see Flamedramon and Digmon. Soon Tai was fighting the rookies digimon being control as Flamedramon and Digmon fought Controlmon's minions. While the fought Kari, TK and Yoli's digimons attack the control spire.

The moment the spire fell, a bunch of digimons ran from the forest near Primary Village. They grab what digimons eggs they could carry and ran off. Elecmon did his best to stop them but could only do little.

The other digi-destined ran up to the younger digi-destined. "You did great," Sora said to Tai.

"Thanks," Tai said, "What about our dates?"

"We need to leave now" Sora said. The two walk away.

"Where are you going?" Matt yelled load enough for other to hear.

"We going to a movie," Sora yelled.

"Fine go ahead and leave," Matt yelled, "Go ahead and leave. I can handle this."

"That remind me," Izzy said, "I have a date." He walks away.
