Episode 25: Forever Friends, Forever Digidestined

The Digidestined were gathered around the train station.

After a little bit of trouble and a couple of phone calls and desperate pleads to the owners of the beach-house, they had managed to get their bags and belongings back.

The very nice owners of the beach-house had kindly taken all of the Digidestined's bags and sent them back to Odaiba by train. And the Digidestined were there to take them.

"I can't believe all the trouble you caused us, Tai!" Matt cried.

Tai lowered his head sheepishly. "Sorry."

Joe put an arm around Tai's shoulders. "Hey, without Tai, we wouldn't be like this right now… we've had so many problems keeping the promise and everything… and there were so many times that we almost gave up and so many times we might not have still been friends… Tai, maybe you've done some incredibly stupid things but you had a reason to!!"

Matt grinned. "Duh!"

Joe stood there with all the other Digidestined. His bags were sitting by his feet and he couldn't describe the happy feeling he had inside. He was so glad he hadn't gone to Australia. There was no other place he'd rather be than right here at home, in Odaiba, with his very best friends.

Suddenly, Joe opened a pocket in one of his bags and pulled out something special. The tag with the Crest of Reliability lay in Joe's hands. He stared at it seriously.

"JOE!! STAY A DIGIDESTINED FOREVER!!!"

Joe tightened his grip on the tag. Well, duh! Of course I'm gonna!!

Running a hand through his cool blonde hair, Matt looked a little bored. He was watching the others. Tai and Sora were getting along so well, he was almost jealous. But then again, he was so happy that Tai was back to the Tai he knew best. Matt was so glad his best friend was back to normal.

His gaze lowered a little. His thoughts drifted back a little to his former girlfriend-Sayo. He thought about his troubles choosing between his love and his friends. He chuckled to himself. Yeah… I guess… I still haven't learned to love yet, have I?

Matt looked up at the sky. This might've bothered me before… but for some reason, I'm okay with it… I wonder why…?

He felt a tug on his sleeve. Matt looked down. T.K grinned at him, and Matt grinned back.

I'm okay because my friends are with me… and I really… really believe… Matt reached into his pocket and touched the tag with the crest of Friendship on it. I really do believe… one day I'll find my special someone!

T.K could not stop grinning. His smile stretched all the way across his face.

After all, everything was taken care of, wasn't it? Everyone standing around him was so happy. He thought he didn't matter before. He really thought that. How could he ever have thought that? Did he really think that just because he was the youngest, he didn't count? He knew it was true though… he was needed. He was needed just as much as Tai. And he knew he could help. Even though maybe the only thing he could do was worry, it did help others if they just knew that they were important and worth worrying about.

"You might not be able to do things for others by yourself but because you want to help, it just shows how willing you really are!!"

T.K smiled again. He was excited that he would see Kari again soon, for the first time since he'd been on the holiday trip. In fact, he was so happy to be back and with his friends, he would actually be happy to see that freak Davis.

The crest of Hope shone brightly on the tag around T.K's neck.

Izzy sighed. Man, he was so glad everything had worked out. In fact, now he was totally exhausted. So many things had happened, and now it had all caught up to him.

Still, he was really happy. So… everyone was friends again. Everything was worked out. And the promise was renewed and this time everyone understood it.

How come he still felt as though he was missing something?

The promise… means that even though we found someone we cherish the most, we would still keep our friendship with each other… that means… it would be okay, wouldn't it?

Izzy snuck a look at Mimi.

He was alarmed when he found that she was looking at him too.

Mimi smiled beautifully. Her eyes seemed a little teary and she went closer towards Izzy.

"Izzy… I actually understand the promise now… so… if it's okay with you… please… won't you accept my feelings for you??"

He didn't say anything but the expression that spread over his face was obvious.

Mimi leant over and planted a gentle kiss on him.

They both blushed bright red.

Mimi gazed up at the beautiful pale blue sky. The tag with the crest of Sincerity on it hung from her neck and she reached up and clutched it.

I wonder how everything could've turned out so well… these past few months… I've been hurt… and crying… and broken-hearted… I've been angry and feeling betrayed… and I've been confused… but everything's okay now… because I've realized what a great gift these people I love are… and they're always beside me, every one of them.

Sora had gotten all her bags and stuff and she had been waiting for the others to get all their stuff. She just couldn't describe the feeling bubbling inside her.

Was it love?

She held her tag in her hand. She had been hiding her feelings for so long and now that they were revealed, she wasn't sure what to think anymore. It was true that she loved Tai the most… but it surprised her that he felt the same.

Tai… he had been carrying so many secrets and burdens on his back. It weighed him down and he had trouble moving ahead. There were so many promises and secrets he was trying to keep. He had been trying his best to keep his best friends together and everyone happy and smiling.

Tai had sure… gone through a lot. He was the leader but he had to learn that he wasn't alone… he could depend on others.

"…Tai," Sora said.

Tai looked over her. "Yeah?"

"You're not alone, okay?" She reached out and took his hand. It fit hers so well… "We… the Digidestined… we're always here for you."

Tai made a puzzled look. "Oookkayyy…" he said.

Tai looked at his friends around him. He felt Sora's hand in his and he felt confidence and happiness sear through him. He turned to everybody else and with his free hand, pulled out his tag from his pocket.

"Hey everybody, throw your tags in the air!!" he shouted.

"WHAAATT??" Joe cried. "What are you talking about???"

Tai rolled his eyes. "I said throw them in the air, not throw them away!!"

Joe took his tag with the Crest of Reliability in the hands nervously. "Okay…"

All of the Digidestined took their tags and crests and threw them up in the air.

All seven of the precious tags flying threw the air, and the sun shining brightly through them. Friendship, Reliability, Hope, Knowledge, Sincerity, Love and Courage.

Tai gazed at them and felt a little teary. A small smile tugged at his mouth.

Yeah… they're all there… everyone of them…

Tai felt the warm bright sunshine streaming from the sky over him and his friends. He watched the tags fall down and everyone run to catch them.

Everybody's been here right beside me all along… I never had to feel alone… or think that I was the only one suffering.

I didn't have to carry my troubles alone… because… Tai glanced over at Sora and they exchanged smiles. Because… I know that someone will always be there for me.

Tai gripped his tag in his hand and grinned super hard. Friends will always be there for each other!!

All of the Digidestined stood there, on the train platform, just standing and thinking silently. Though they said nothing, they knew that they were all thinking the same thing.

A truly happy smile spread across Tai's face.

If it's a promise, we'll always keep it.

Nothing will ever come between our friendship.

No matter what, we will stay friends forever. We'll always support each other and listen to the other person… even if we don't understand, we'll try our hardest to… we can… share our burdens with someone else… so that the troubles on our back get lighter…

I truly believe that…

We'll always be…

Forever Friends, Forever Digidestined.
