"Alright Veemon! I knew you could do it!" Davis was more excited than Veemon had ever seen him - it touched him to know his partner shared his joy so much. "I told you I'm a genius, aren't you glad you listened to me?"

"Well, yeah, but…"

"But what?"

"If you're such a genius, why haven't you thought of a way to sweep Kari off her feet?" Davis blinked, apparently unable to think of a response.

"W-Well… uh…" He stuttered, trying to find a suitable rebuttal. "I already have! I just didn't want to put too much pressure on you while you made your move, you know?"

"Really… What's your master plan then?"

"My… uh, m-master plan? Well… it's a secret! But trust me, you'll know it when you see it."

"How?"

Davis sighed. "Because she'll fall head over heels for me! Duh!" Davis struck a triumphant pose.

"Oh! Well, that clears things up! Now, I dunno about you, but I'm going to sleep. Night."

"Oh, yeah. G'night." As his little blue friend headed off to his bed, Davis sat down on the couch. Now, what exactly should my 'master plan' be…? This isn't gonna be easy.

Meanwhile, getting ready for bed, Veemon could hardly believe his luck. Only a few hours ago, he had spent at least a good half-hour dancing away with the most beautiful Digimon in the world. Then - to his even greater delight - he and Gatomon had simply sat and talked for hours on end. As he lay down in bed, he fondly recalled what he was sure to be the greatest night of his life.

"That was really nice, Veemon." The pair had just come off of the dance floor, and after sitting down, Gatomon was resting her head on Veemon's shoulder as the two watched the rest of their friends dance.

"It sure was. I'm really glad you enjoyed yourself. I just hope I wasn't too bad of a dancer."

"Are you kidding? You were great! Although, to be honest, I never really expected you to be so good at it."

"Well, I've been… Taking lessons. For the past month." Veemon blushed a bit as he admitted this, since he somewhat anticipated Gatomon's response.

"Lessons, huh? From who?" Veemon could hardly even comprehend the question - as Gatomon asked, she also slipped her paw into his hand, and it took every ounce of concentration to bring himself back to his senses.

"Well, uh… I kinda asked Kari if she would teach me. You always did talk about how good a dancer she is, so I figured I might as well learn from the best, you know?" He stared at the ground as he said it, blushing furiously. Why did I have to tell her that? She probably thinks I'm a dork now. Or a stalker. Or both.

"I… only said that once." Great. She thinks I'm a stalker. "That's so… sweet. That was so long ago, I can hardly believe you remember it!"

"So you… don't think I'm a creepy stalker?" She giggled, and he melted.

"Of course not!" Is this real? Is she really… this close to me? And then, lightly, she brushed her nose against his. I-I guess she really is that close to me. Oh, man! "Veemon? Are you okay?"

Realizing he had been staring at her with his mouth hanging ever so slightly open, Veemon once again blushed. "Oh, yeah! I'm fine. I just… can't believe how amazing tonight turned out to be." Then, in the greatest display of courage in his life, Veemon closed the distance between the two and kissed her.

"Geez, Veemon, I really like you and all, but not like that!" Davis woke early, and with quite an unexpected surprise as his little blue friend was gripping his hand tightly and puckering his lips. Surprised by Davis's outburst, Veemon began to wake. "Besides, I'm sure Gatomon wouldn't be too happy if she found out you were kissing someone else, even if it is me!"

What is he talkin' about? Groggily, he realized that he wasn't, as he had suspected before, holding Gatomon's paw. Instead… Davis's hand? Oh, God! He had been holding her paw in his dream - and had been kissing her. "D-Do you mean…?"

"Yes, I mean you were just acting like I was Gatomon!" A look of realization dawned on his partner's face, and Veemon knew he was in for it. "You were dreaming about her, weren't you? Ha!" His grin softened a bit, and he settled back down on the bed. "You really are a hopeless romantic after all, huh?"

"That's a… good thing, right?"

"Yeah! Just as long as you never try to kiss me again!"

"Good! Now, waddya say we figure out what you're gonna do about Kari? C'mon, we can talk about it over breakfast!" Without waiting for Davis's reply, the little blue Digimon strolled out of the bedroom and towards the kitchen.

"What? W-wait!" Bolting out of bed, Davis rushed to catch up to his partner. "Didn't I already tell you I had a plan?"

"Well, yeah, but you're also a really bad liar. I can tell you've got no idea what you're doing. But no worries! You're in good hands with me helping you!"

"Whoa, did you miss the part where I was the one who came up with the plan to hook you and Gatomon up? I'm the Casanova here, buddy!" Veemon snickered. "I'm serious!"

"Relax, Davis. I haven't forgotten that you helped me. That's why I figure I can help you out. You know, like paying you back. I could talk to Gatomon about it! We'd have an inside agent and everything! Davis, this is gonna be great!"

"But I never gave you my permission! And what about breakfast?!" It was no use - Veemon had already vanished out the front door. Exasperated, Davis grabbed a bagel and hurried after him.

A/N: So, at the urging of my readers, I have, in fact, decided to carry on the story where I left off in Shall We Dance? The main focus of this story will be Davis and Kari, but there'll still be plenty of VeeGato to go around. As always, reviews are met with much love, and I hope I'll be able to update at least semi-regularly. Until next time!
