"...and Oikawa's spirit protected the Digital World forever." TK looked up from his computer. The manuscript for his latest book seemed to be missing something, but it was two thirty a.m. Also, the manuscript was due in three days. He would have plenty of time to figure out an ending.

The answer came to him two hours later. In his haste to write it down, he almost woke Kari. It would be a "Digidestined: Where are they now?" type thing. Satisfied with his idea, he drifted back to sleep.

TK spent the next day polishing up his epilogue and decided to run it past his sons. The children in question were helping their mother bake cookies. He walked into the kitchen and snatched one. "Hey, kids."

"Dad!" They ran and hugged him, still full of flour and cookie dough. "Are you done with your book?" the younger one asked.

"Mmrph." TK swallowed his last bite of cookie. "I think so. Would you two like to hear it later?"

"Yeah! Mom, can we go to bed early tonight? Please? I don't wanna fall asleep during the story!" the older child said.

Kari put her hands on her hips, pretending to think about it. "Well, I don't mind. Let's finish baking first, though. Then it's bathtime for you guys – how did you manage to get cookie dough on your ears?"

Bedtime came, and TK read the last part of the story to his children. "Now it's up to our children and children everywhere to follow their dreams. Who knows where they'll end up? But the only way to find out is to take that first step into adventure." He braced himself for the flurry of questions that he knew would be coming.

"Dad, why'd you mix up everyone's jobs? Tai would never be a diplomat; that's what Mimi does!" the younger child put in.

"I did that so people wouldn't know where to find them, but now that you mention it, the editor will probably insist on publishing this as fiction anyways. I'll fix it tomorrow." The kid was right; in his haste to finish, TK had managed to screw up a lot of the jobs. Tai worked at the post office, Matt was actually the manager of a convenience store (how had he managed to mess that up?), Sora coached soccer and tennis at the local high school (he must have written that after drink number four; really, fashion designer?), and Davis only had one noodle cart; it was, however, quite successful.

"What's all this stuff about the Digital World being open to everyone? I thought only the DigiDestined had Digimon partners."

"Hey, we have partners too dummy!"

TK sighed, "Guys, please, no fighting. It's been a long day. Anyways, that was also me assuming this would end up in fiction. I'll change it to say that since the last battle, the Digital World has been closed off. That way no one will try to get there – besides us, of course. One last question, then you guys have to go to sleep."

"How come it didn't look like you were married to Mom? And why didn't Willis show up? He's Mimi's husband."

TK had to think that over for a minute or two. Finally, he answered, "Because a lot of guys used to like her – like, like her. Including some who had serious mental problems. Who might not take kindly to the fact that she and I ended up together... but I guess the scariest one is in jail, so I'll take my chances and change it. As for Mimi and Willis, no one really knows who Willis is. He only showed up for one adventure that I was a part of.

"Good night, guys; don't keep each other up too late." He walked out of the room, leaving the boys to talk quietly until they inevitably drifted off to sleep. Sleep... it had been so long since TK had even thought about that wonderful thing. Once his head hit his pillow he was out, and only woke up when his alarm stayed on for seventeen minutes in a row. Grumbling, he got dressed and prepared to meet with his publisher with the final draft.

One hour-long car ride that should have taken fifteen minutes later, TK was sitting across the desk from a man that he'd just met, but was sure he knew from somewhere else. Something clicked. "Gennai?"

"Expecting Yoda, you were?" Gennai asked rhetorically, making the kind of bad joke mixed with a pop culture reference that Davis was renowned for.

"Why are you here? I thought we were done with all the saving the world stuff for good."

Gennai cleared his throat. "I had to make sure that you didn't just let the whole world know the truth willy-nilly. The Digital World is peaceful and I'd like to keep it that way. Now, your manuscript is fine, and will be published as fiction of course, but I revised your first draft – don't ask how I got it – and created a children's anime. Here, watch the first episode." A TV appeared in the corner of the room. TK shrugged; as if he had a choice. Thirty minutes later, he had a response to Gennai.

"This is... different. There's so many bad jokes, and we all look so young."

"That's the point. No one can take it as seriously, and the target audience, well, let's just say that adults tend not to believe their children. And of course you look young, you were eight years old."

"Not exactly what I had in mind when I wrote this book... but I guess this is okay."

Gennai smiled. "It could have been worse; Davis e-mailed me with some comedy ideas. You think the jokes are bad now..."

"Let's leave it at that," TK said with a shudder. Some things never changed.

Author's Note: I had to do something about the epilogue from Adventure Zero Two. Please review with any episode you want me to write about; the world tour episodes are next up. This fic won't be in chronological order but its companion (coming soon), Digimon Offscreen Adventue, will be. Thanks for reading!
