[Notes:

This is just a random fun fanfic I felt like doing this past winter. I stopped doing it, and 5 months later, I brought it back out and did some more of it. Yay! I dunno how far I'll go with this. Just whatever comes to me, I guess. If anyone has a suggestion, feel free to bug me about it. But I won't accept anything Rukato or Leeki (since those couples to me are spew), and I'd kind of like to keep Leekato as it is. But if you want, like, Ryuki or Rukazu, I can probably make plot twists involving that (Ryo isn't even in this yet, though).  Whatever else you have some insane desire for me to do. Hell, I'll probably do an Adventure crossover if asked.

Yes, try to ignore the awful Adult Swim puns I made in this story.

Anyway…no way in telling how far this will go. But it'll end when it feels like ending. I guess it's also kinda AU. As for ages, decide whatever, since I'm too lazy to set something reasonable and I'd probably contradict their ages later on in the story, anyway. Yaoi and Yuri (specifically, Leekato, Hirota & Ruri) abounds in this story, so if you hate those…uh…shippings, tough cookies. I didn't ask for two tons of Leeki fics when I search for Leekato stuff.

And no, I don't have anything against any of the characters in the show. I rather like them all. But I am biased to Jenrya Lee because he's my favorite. So…lah! If I haven't scared you off yet, enjoy!

Kudos to Chas from all our insane Tamers-related roleplays which most likely inspired this!]

"Do not adjust your set."

"It's not your average show…"

"Just prepare to view the world…in a new perspective."

"A perspective unlike anything you've ever dealt with."

"Just settle down…kick back…relax…"

"And do NOT run away."

"…You're in GoggleVision."

"MWAHAHAHAHA! And now, you're—"

"Katou-san…cut, cut."

The lights were turned on. "What now? What did I do wrong?" Juri inquired.

            Takato Matsuda sweatdropped at his former crush's impatience. "I wish you wouldn't randomly add lines to the script…"

"I'm just trying to help!" Juri insisted, "After all, I AM the only one who agreed to do movies with you. Ruki-chan said it was stupid, Hirokazu and Kenta-kun were busy, Lee-kun was asleep…"

            "I'm sure Lee would've done it if he was awake," Takato mused. "I'll ask him later. But please, Juri-san, will you PLEASE cooperate?"

"How long is this going to take? I was actually planning to do something useful today," Juri complained. Then she rose up her puppet, and spoke through it. "Yeah! Juri-chan can't spend all her weekend doing bad movies!"

"Hey, if you hate it THAT much, you can just go now!" shouted Takato, angrily snatching his goggles off the camera lens of the video camera doing the movie shooting. "I'll call Lee again. It's past noon, so he can't STILL be asleep!"

            Juri shrugged and started heading for the door. "You guys are too infatuated with each other to get anything done, anyway," she sweetly pointed out, and opened the door leading out of Takato's room.

"Like you have any room for words," Takato muttered as he put his goggles back over his head. "Well, I suppose I can't stop you. See you tomorrow, Juri?"

            Juri blinked and nodded. "Hai, see you tomorrow."

            With that, she left. Takato sighed and grabbed a nearby phone and started dialing…

*

"Gee, Jen-kun, that's the first time you've been kicked offline due to someone calling you!"

Jenrya Lee, clearly looking pissed off, remained calm and looked to Terriermon.

            "It happens sometimes. Someone must really want to get to my parents."

Terriermon looked around as the phone continued to ring throughout the house. "But…they're not home."

            "I'm not getting it," Lee announced. "They can always call later when they're actually home. But I haven't even been online long enough to check my mail, so their call can wait."

            "If you say so…" Terriermon rolled his eyes. "Are you sure it's for your parents?"

"No one ever calls me," Lee sighed as he re-connected after the ringing had dissipated.

            "Heeey, that's not true, you know," Terriermon grinned. "There's Tak—"

"Ssh, Terriermon."

            "Nani?" Lee's partner inquired.

Lee slumped over a bit as he checked his new messages. "Over 30 unread mails in the past 18 hours…"

            Terriermon's face brightened. "You have so many friends online, Jen-kun!"

Lee's eyes narrowed. "I think it's all junk mail, Terriermon."

"How can you tell?" asked Terriermon.

            "Well…it's all in the technique. You look at the e-mail addresses, see if they're recognizable, and then look at the title."

"I'm confused," Terriermon admitted.

            Lee shrugged a bit. "Well, a good indication is when the e-mail in question has 'Penis Enlargement' or something ridiculous like that."

This made Terriermon giggle. But he quickly dispersed. "Jeeen…does it NEED to be this hot in here all the time?"

            "Oh, my room's always the hottest one in the entire house," Lee pointed out, nodding to his Wall of Technology right next to him. "It's because all of this stuff requires electricity, which generates a lot of heat. But now that you mention it, it IS kinda hot in here…"

"Haaaaii…?" Terriermon's eyes were sparkling.

"Turn on some fans if you want," Lee said casually as we went to deleting his junk mail.

            Terriermon looked as if he were going to melt. "No air conditioning…?"

"Not unless Okaasan says so," the bluenette replied. "Just be thankful we can get some air circulating, if you can open the window…"

"It's just HOT AIR outside," Terriermon grumbled as he opened the window and proceeded to turn on some fans.

            "I'll ask okaa about some A/C when I finish up with my mail," Lee promised.

Lee started going through his plethora of new mail. Insurance, Vacation, Insurance…SEE HOT CHICKS FUCKING LIVE ON VIDEO!!

"Ugh," Lee muttered as he deleted that particular one.

Oblivious "Hi"-titled messages which are really a bunch of perverts linking to their webcams, the casual Newsletter From Companies That Claim You Signed Up For Them…

"Having fun?" Terriermon asked as he rejoined his companion. The pleasant sound of whirling fans filled Lee's room.

            "Unbelievable amounts," Lee sarcastically replied. "Looks like I only have one decent mail today."

"What would that be?"

Lee pointed to the address: [email protected].

            "Ruki never sends mail!" Terriermon exclaimed.

"Well, according to the title, Ruki says I only have 16 hours to live."

            "Uh…what?" Terriermon was bewildered. "Oh, it's YOUR week, isn't it?"

Lee nodded. "Makes sense. 'Kazu and Kenta were last week…Takato was the week before, so I guess it's my turn to have my ass kicked this week."

            "I don't get it. How come Ruki feels the need to beat you guys up every week?"

"Eh, she's bored," Lee said. "And she needs something to build her confidence, I guess."

            "You're SURE she just doesn't do it 'cause she likes one of you?" Terriermon questioned.

Lee frowned and waved his hand at his Digimon. "Hello? She's with Katou-san, baka. Besides, I can think of numerous people I'd rather be with than her."

                                    "Liiiiiike?"

Lee frowned and turned the other way. "Oh, like you don't know. Now go away."

            "Yeah right. You can't make me go anywhere."

"You want the A/C on, right?" Lee threatened.

…that was well enough to make Terriermon leave.

Lee wiped his sweaty forehead and turned on the radio next to him.

            "Iiiiit's 2:15 here at WKIL! Our next song goes out to a little Chinese boy who apparently has, er…12 hours, 50 minutes and 19 seconds to live, by Makino Ruki…who hates him!"

Lee grumbled and turned the radio off. "Kami-sama, why hasn't Makino died and gone to hell yet…?"

*

Dial tone.

"Okay, last try!"

"Give it up, Takato. He's glued to the 'net."

"Shut your hatch, Shiota."

Numbers…Numbers….Dialing the Numbers…

"Oh yeah? I don't have to sit here and listen to you, Goggle-Breath!"

Goggle-Breath? DAMMIT! Busy tone again…

"Once Kenta-chan's outta the bookstore, you're on your own!"

Takato sighed and hung up the payphone. "Might as well let me tag along; I still can't get ahold of him."

            "Yeah," Shiota Hirokazu accused, "Now that your little hubby's gone off to be a geek, you think you can freshen up with me, huh?"

"You wish," Takato said playfully, "I'm over you, Rooster-Head."

"Yeaaah, you come over here and say that!"

            "Fine, Rooster-Head. But you were never that great of a boyfriend."

"Hah, just ask Kenta! I'm an awesome man, if I do say so myself!" Hirokazu posed, in his own cocky way.

            "Kenta's a drone," said Goggle Boy #3. "Anything you say, he agrees with."

"'Cause I'm always right!" 'Kazu posed again, with a peace sign.

"Whatever, Hirokazu…"

Kenta, carrying a plastic bag, stepped out from the store.

            "About time, koibito!"

Kenta smiled. "Sorry. I couldn't decide between the Gundam-Ripoff or the Tenchi-Ripoff manga. Of course, it was nice and COOL inside, too…"

            "I know what you mean," Hirokazu admitted. "It's hotter than Hades today!"

"Are you guys sure you don't wanna stick around?" Takato pleaded, holding out his video camera, with his goggles over the camera lens. "We can do it in a cooler place if you want!"

            "Is that thing ON?" Kenta snidely remarked.

"Why the hell would we wanna do your dumbass movies, Matsuda? We've got better things to do." Hirokazu was deeply annoyed.

            "It's no big deal, you guys!" Takato assured, his face now behind the camera as he was recording Kenta and Hirokazu at this very second. "I just need you to be in a couple of scenes, and I won't bother you anymore!"

            "Get a life, Takato." 'Kazu complained as he put his hand over the lens. "You're such a dork."

Takato was always prone to panic. "Hey!! You'll smudge the GoggleVision-y experience!"

            "Then point that hideous thing at someone else," Kenta ordered. "We're leaving."

"Not one little scared expression…?"

            "Here's your expression, Matsuda! BIIIIIIIII!"

As if on cue, Hirokazu and Kenta proceeded to raspberry the video camera to oblivion.

"Fine, fine, I get the point!" Takato grumbled as he stepped away from the duo. "I'll find someone! Just watch me!"

            With utter disinterest, the pair had left.

"Ah!" Takato exclaimed, looking the other way. "It's highly unlikely she'll wanna do it, but Ruki would be a GREAT addition to my movie…"

                        And as plain as day, Ruki was leaning against a brick wall in the broad daylight, lazily listening to whatever heavy metal played in her punk-style headphones.

Takato grinned. "Perfect. Ruki's a dead ringer for the monster in my movie…" He tiptoed over to where Ruki was and began to film her.

            After a decent amount of footage and Ruki's final 4 music tracks passed, Ruki woke up from her odd nap to find herself being taped on Takato's begoggled contraption. A scowl formed on her face.

"Uhh…I can explain!"

            "You have fifteen seconds," Ruki growled, turning fully towards Takato. "So fucking impatient. I'm not kicking your ass until next week. Don't RUIN my good schedule, Goggle-Brain."

"I-I-I..I meant no disrespect!!" Takato wailed, immediately on his knees and bowing to Ruki. "I only required your god-like presence for a role in my movie!!"

            Ruki raised an eyebrow. "You're still working on that?"

"I wanted to finish SOMETHING this summer," Takato grinned, with sweatdrop.

"And I want to kick some ass," Ruki said, calmly as possible. She brushed a strand of hair from her face. "Where's your little boyfriend…? It's his week."

            Takato shrinked back sheepishly. "That's not official, you know!!…But, I haven't really seen him all day…either he's on the internet at home or he's out somewhere…I haven't been able to contact him."

"Oh, he'll show up. I already notified him via radio that it's his week. I didn't DO all that hard work just to hear you say that you don't know where he is."

                        Takato jumped back from Ruki. "I…I honestly haven't a clue! Besides, you always do the radio thing when you can't find somebody that you wanna beat up!"

Ruki's eyes gleamed with evil.

            "Did you…just talk back to me?"

Takato froze in utter fear.

            Ruki sighed. "Ten seconds."

Takato thanked Ruki for her mercifulness, and ran like hell out of the area. The coldhearted girl waited until Takato was out of sight, then resumed lounging against the brick wall.

            Then, a familiar face came walking to Ruki from the other way.

A warm smile made its way to Ruki's mouth. "Ah. Juri-chan!"

*

Lee sneezed. And found himself hitting face-first into his computer monitor.

"…AAAAH!!"

SO COLD!

            Lee had remembered dozing off due to the tantalizing heat wafting in his room. However, it was anything but hot in his room right now. Lee turned his head to find all of the fans still on. He looked further up to an A/C vent to notice it was running as well.

Terriermon was nowhere to be found.

Lee didn't waste any time. He leapt from his computer chair and dashed downstairs. It was getting colder and colder until-

"TERRIERMON!!"

There he was, wearing sunglasses, on a sofa and drinking pink lemonade with an umbrella-straw. Terriermon had moved many fans to blow in his direction, making the living room, which he resided in, the coldest place in the house. Lee looked suspiciously to the A/C controls, and as he expected, it was cranked up to full blast, on the lowest possible temperature.

Terriermon shrugged. "You made me leave your room with the promise of some A/C. I took that as you wanted me to leave and turn it on!"

            Lee was finding it very hard to keep calm. "I said…not..until..Okaasan…"

"Your parents aren't here yet. But you obviously weren't gonna ask her anytime soon, seeing as she's not here."

            "I could've CALLED her…"

Terriermon shook his head. "Yeah right. That would mean you having to get offline."

Lee gritted his teeth. "That's it!" He pointed to the front door. "Out! Right now!"

            Terriermon took off his sunglasses. "How come?"

"I can't HAVE you here if you're just going to get me grounded! Now leave! Go play with Guilmon or something!"

"Fiiine." Terriermon hopped off from his seat, and carelessly tossed his drink onto the floor. "I can see when I'm not loved. See you around, Jen."

                        Terriermon left quite promptly.

            Lee hit the wall in frustration.

"Damn him! Now I have to find a way to heat up this place before my parents get home! I'll have to turn up the stupid heater to thaw out the house…"

                        Just then, a little thought-bubble full of dollar-symbols popped above Lee's head.

"Wait…no…while that'll do the job, I'll be miserable and it'll still show up on the heating/cooling bill…it'll be twice as much as it is now…!"

            Lee looked at the fans worriedly as he turned the A/C off. "If only I could get the air circulating OUT of the house.."

                        Then he noticed the windows. Lee smiled.

"That's it! I think I can place the fans backward to propel the cold air to the outdoors!"

            He quickly opened all the windows and placed the fans against the window sill, putting them backwards. Lee couldn't tell the results immediately, but he wiped the sweat off his forehead as he admired his job.

                        "And everyone says I'm a wuss who can't do anything!"

Lee went back to his room to celebrate.

            "…I only have six hours to live?! Ruki, you cheapo!"

*

Takato sighed as he walked down the street. He had a bag of baked goods slung over his back, and his begoggled video camera in his free hand. Absolutely no one wanted to help him with his movie. He knew Lee would, but no one even knew where he was.

'I wish he wouldn't be such a geek sometimes…'

            Takato sadly smiled to himself.

'Then again, that's one of the things I like about him.'

"Matsuda."

            Takato instinctively turned to the direction of the voice, dropped his things and went into a defensive pose.

"Who's there?!"

A tall blonde man in a tropical shirt and white shorts, with sunglasses, stepped out from the alleyway. "It's just me, Matsuda."

            "…Oh. It's you, Yamaki."

Yamaki nodded. "It's nice to see you again."

                        Takato looked confused. "Uh…really?"

"Of course. I haven't seen you since the winter. Digimon, and all."

            Takato scratched his head absent-mindedly. "Yeah, we were busy."

Yamaki nodded in agreement.

            "So…uh…you look like you're dressed for the occasion. Where's the suit?"

                        Yamaki smirked. "I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that stuffy old thing in this heatwave. Actually, I just came back from vacation. In Jamaica."

"Ohh…" Takato tried to look as innocent as possible. "That's, uh…nice…"

            Yamaki held a hand out towards Takato. He was holding something.

"I have candy," Yamaki said with a smile.

            "Uh…" Takato paused for a long while. "That's okay. I've got enough sweets at home…"

"Come on, it's good." The older one persuaded. "I've got more."

            "…Look, it's not personal or anything, but I don't really trust you."

Yamaki looked hurt. "Matsuda, who do you take me for? It's just candy."

            He tried to grab Takato's arm.

"Aah! Hey, let me go!"

            "Hey, it's not like I'll do anything bad to you, Matsuda…"

                        Takato knew he was doomed. So he did the only thing he knew what to do in this situation.

"HELP!! SOMEONE HELP ME! I'M BEING ABDUCTED! HE'S GONNA MOLEST ME! WAAAAH!"

            On cue, The Angry Mob came and surrounded Yamaki. As they shouted various swearings and held up their protest posters, Takato squeezed his way to freedom, and for the second time today, ran for his life.

He finally slowed down when he ran a couple of blocks.

            "Geez," Takato muttered, "Who does Yamaki take me for? I'm not that stupid."

However, Takato wasn't yet to get a moment of peace as he tripped and fell on his face against the pavement.

                        "KAMI-SAMA HATES MEEEE!!"

"I think he hates me more," a miserable voice under Takato wailed.

            "Nanda?" Takato lifted his leg to find a very bruised Terriermon underneath. "AH! Terriermon, what're you doing out here?!"

            "Jenrya kicked me out," Terriermon grumbled as he stood up. "Now I'm tryin' to find a place where I won't fry."

"J-Jenrya?!" Takato was shocked. "He's been home all this time?!"

            Terriermon nodded. "Stuck on the computer, he's been. I'm suspecting addiction, myself."

Takato felt offended. "I've been calling him for hours! I only got through once and he didn't even answer!"

            Terriermon blinked. "So it was you. Ooh, I knew it was! Won't Jenrya be surprised!"

"He didn't know?" asked Takato.

                        "Nah, lazy baka wouldn't even check the caller ID. He assumed it was for his parents."

Takato sighed in relief. "So why'd he kick you out, dude?"

            "Oh, I just turned on the air conditioning without his permission. Nothing major. Jen just has a stick up his ass today."

            A sweatdrop or two formed on Takato's head. "He knows it's his week, doesn't he…?"

Terriermon solemnly nodded. "So he's been a bit edgy. I wouldn't go in there if I were you. Unless…"

                        Takato looked confused. "Unless?"

"You're gonna…you know…confess to him…"

            Takato blushed, but still feigned innocence. "D-dunno what you're talking about…"

The Digimon grinned. "He likes you, y'know."

                        "Well, I like him too…I like lots of people!"

"Jenrya like-likes­ you, dumbass!" Terriermon shouted. "And Guilmon told me you like-like Jenrya!"

Takato didn't look like he believed it. "Guilmon told you this? Since when do you trust Guilmon?"

            Terriermon shrugged. "He's around you more than anyone besides Jen. I'm sure you confess all kinds of things to Guilmon since he told me that you think he's a retarded dinosaur who can't do anything or make an impact on the world."

                        Takato bluend in the face.

"So I guess it was no big deal to tell Guilmon that you're in love with my Tamer, since, oh, you know, he's so dumb that it'll NEVER occur to him to tell anyone else."

Takato laughed half-heartedly. "I…must say, I'm amazed he used that much brainpower…"

            Terriermon jumped onto Takato's head. "Don't change the subject. Follow me back to Jen's place! You guys can…confess there."

The poor boy looked extremely scared. "You want me to do it THERE…?"

"Why not? His parents won't be home for a while." The Digimon explained. "Besides, it's about time you two let it all out. I mean, Katou and Makino found each other without their DIGIMON leading them by the nose, 'Kazu and Kenta have been sucking face for months now…you're the only two left!"

            Takato sighed. "I guess so…I can't believe YOU know all this."

"Moumantai," Terriermon said with a wink. "Come on!"

*

"You..said he was home, right?"

            Terriermon looked aghast. "You think I'm lying?! Of course he's home!"

"He's not answering the door…"

"For the love of Kami! If he won't pick up the phone today, what makes you gonna think he's gonna get the door?! Just open the door, Takato!"

            "All right," Takato said as he reluctantly opened the door and entered. "I just don't feel right barging in like this."

"He'll excuse you for ANYTHING," Terriermon said as he fancily waltzed himself in.  "Jen had better ordered some pizza. Or something. I'm starving!"

Takato looked around the living room and the kitchen, noting all of the backwardly-placed fans on all the windows. "It feels nice, at least…"

            "You shoulda been here when the A/C was still on." Terriermon walked towards Lee's room. "Still…funny. I thought for sure he'd heard us come in."

"He's not in his room?" Takato was disappointed. "Have you tried calling for him?"

"Pssh, where could he be possibly hiding?" Terriermon questioned. He snooped around his partner's room. "Jeeeen, you've got like 6 people instant-messaging you because you forgot to put the Away notice agaaaain…"

Takato was making his way to his best friend's room, when all of a sudden, a door from the side opened, with trails of steam pouring out from the cracks. Takato immediately froze in place as we watched the door open wider and wider…

….nothing was in the steamy bathroom.

Takato was mesmerized. "Uhh…"

"TAKATO-SAN!!"

Takato fell over completely, then sat up to find Lee, dripping wet, right behind him, wearing nothing but a damp towel around his waist.

            "L-L-…Lee-san! What're you doing over there?!"

Lee had his hands around his hips. "I think that question should go to you."

"Uh…I've…kinda…been trying to get to you all day?"

            Lee softened a bit. "Nani?"

"I've been calling for hours and hours!" Takato complained. "I thought you'd agree to do my movie today…"

It all fell on Lee like a ton of bricks. "….oh. I…I didn't remember…"

            Takato looked heartbroken. "You forgot…?"

"In a manner of speaking, well…er…yeah." Lee held out a hand to help Takato up. "I apologize, Takato. I haven't really been thinking today."

            "I shouldn't be so hard on you," Takato explained as he was lifted up. "I know this week is your…week of torture. You must've had that distracting you."

Lee smiled warmly. "It's really sweet of you to make excuses for me, but it isn't necessary." He started to walk past Takato and back into the bathroom. Takato nearly started to follow him, but reality pulled him back to just sticking around the doorway.

            "You're not looking, are you?"

Takato immediately fixed his gaze elsewhere. "Nope! Go ahead!"

The thing is, he was really looking at his still-begoggled video camera. His goggle lens was easily reflecting whatever went on in Lee's bathroom. Poor Takato hated how impossible it was to hold back his inner pervert.

            Lee stepped into the shower, yet the conversation resumed.

"So, no one else would help you do your movie?" Lee inquired.

                        "No…" Takato sighed. "Juri did, temporarily. And I managed to catch some footage of Ruki when she wasn't watching, but that's about it."

"Gomen, Takato," Lee apologized again. "I wish I was there."

Takato shrugged. "It's not too late to start. …Um, Lee, what WERE you doing out the shower?"

            "Returning some shampoo I borrowed from my parents' shower. I was out."

Takato nodded. "Hai, you've got a big family, those shampoo bottles must go by awful fast…"

"Actually, I think it was Shuichon who used it up this time. On Terriermon."

            Cue sweatdrop on Takato. "Yeah, that sounds like her…"

A period of silence.

"How come you kicked Terriermon out, Lee-kun?"

            "Is he back in here?!"

Takato looked uncomfortable. "Uhh..yeah…I let him in. You want me to put him back out?"

            "Is he messing with the A/C?"

Takato looked towards the temperature settings control box across from him. "Nope. He's just in your room."

            "Good. …He'll only just harass my friends online, then…"

Takato slumped over for a moment and tried to think of a new topic.

            "Yeah, um…he seemed pretty tame when I ran into him outside. We actually held a conversation."

"Mmm," Lee concurred, "Terriermon's a blabbermouth. He does anything to start talking."

                        "Well, I don't think he was talking to me for the sake of talking…"

This made Lee poke his head out from the shower curtains. "What're you saying?"

            Takato turned to Lee's general direction and pointed back to his friend's room.

"He said stuff about me 'confessing'. Stuff like my emotions. He said you had problems expressing your feelings too."

                        Lee found himself blushing immediately. "I have that kind of trouble, he said?"

"That's what he said," said Takato.

                                    Lee paused for a moment, then went fully back behind the shower curtains.

"Terriermon doesn't know anything," he said quickly. "I'm fine."

Takato started looking away. "You don't really need to deny anything, Lee-kun. I mean, it's kinda obvious that…"

            Lee partially came out from the curtains again. "That what?"

Takato grinned and blushed. "Well…y'know."

            "No, I don't know."

Takato took a step forward towards the shower. "Do you know now?"

            Lee shrunk back slightly beyond the curtains. "No…"

Another step. "Now?"

            Lee completely went behind the curtains. "No!"

"Hmm…" Takato leaned back and stretched his right leg forward to make a big step in Lee's direction. "How about now?"

            Lee slowly emerged from the curtains again, blushing furiously. "Uh-uh."

Takato rolled his eyes. "Geez. Stubborn, we are." Takato walked over to Lee until he was inches away from his face.

            "A-ah…" Lee was shrinking back, covering his face in embarrassment. "Taka…"

Takato smirked. "I think you know." He brushed his unruly hair back and looked directly into Lee's soft gray eyes.

            Lee sweatdropped and attempted to not look back into Takato's crimson globes of perfection.

"Promise not to freak out, push me against the sink, and cause me to crack my skull open on your hard floor?"

                        Lee almost thudded right there. Not exactly the most romantic thing to say before…

"Hai, hai," Lee agreed. He was trying to stay as calm as possible, but was still shaking all over.

            As fast as he could, Takato moved in to give Lee a brief peck on the lips, before swiftly pulling back in case of a violent reaction.

                        But much to Takato's amazement, Lee did nothing of the sort, and more or less looked amazed. Amazed and awakened.

"Eheh…" Takato played with his hair as he waited for Lee's response. "You're okay, right…?"

            At that instance, Lee grabbed Takato and pulled his crush right against him and ensued in what became a wild make-out session.

Kenta sighed. "One thing I hate about this season. I might as well be perpetually blind!"

            "Wish I could suggest contacts for ya," Hirokazu said. "But you just look too damn cute in glasses!"

Kenta groaned in frustration as he took off his fogged-over glasses. "Well for me, comfort comes before beauty! I HATE HUMIDITY!"

                        "I heard contacts will fog over anyway," Juri explained. "Which sounds kinda icky."

She brought up her puppet, which she brought to life with her ventriloquist gift. "Arf! Juri-chan hates it when eyes become like glass windows!"

"Excuse me for being legally blind…" Kenta muttered.

            "Will you guys kindly can it?" the Digimon Queen commanded, standing high and mighty over the two boys sat on the bench. "I got tired of kicking your ass the other day ago. I don't feel like having that interest rejuvenated when I've got another ass ripe for kicking."

"Just keep your panties on, Ruki," 'Kazu lazily advised. "He'll come. I'm sure he and Takato are doing some naughty thing…"

            "They're not official yet!" Juri exclaimed. "Takato-kun and Lee-kun are too shy to admit it!" she said via puppet.

"They're so gushy and gross," Ruki snidely remarked. "Can't believe I had to work with them for as long as I did."

                        "Can't believe I went out with Takato as long as I did," Hirokazu muttered, rolling his eyes.

"I kick his ass in being a boyfriend," Kenta said confidently, but mostly to himself. "Takato sucks."

                                    "He sure does, Kenta-chan!" Hirokazu said with a smile.

"Ugh, gag me," Ruki growled. "Remind me why we're out here again…"

            "C'mon, Ruki-chan!" Juri said through her puppet. "Takato-kun and Lee-kun need as much of a break as we do!"

            "Our Digimon are such a bother…" Hirokazu complained. "It'll be nice to get away from them for a while."

"I'm still bringing Renamon," Ruki insisted. "I'll need my personal slave if Takato and Lee really DID get together."

            "Just don't let her touch my stash…"

"'Kazu, what the hell are you talking about…?"

                        Hirokazu grinned. "Heheh, my mustache." He pulled up a fake mustache.

Ruki formed a shaking fist. "I hate you, Rooster-Head."

"Nice to see you boys patched things up," Terriermon announced happily, but he wasn't even looking at the pair emerging from the shower. He was still busily messing up whatever Lee was in on his computer.

            "Such an understatement," Takato said, smiling happily. Down to his waist, Takato was completely soaked, still with all his clothes on.

"Have a nice shower?"

            "Terriermon," Lee nagged, "We did nothing bad in the shower! We're NOT 'Kazu, okay?"

"Sure, sure, whatever."

            "Whatcha doing with Lee-chan's work, Terriermon?" Takato asked as he looked over as the little Digimon's progress.

            Lee leaned over Takato to get a clear view of what he was seeing.

"What site is tha-…The Anarchist's Cookbook?! TERRIERMON!!"

            "Jen-kun, I think you have visitors," Terriermon said loudly, obviously avoiding the topic.

Takato looked outside of Lee's window. "He's right, Lee-chan. Looks like the guys."

                        "Great, is Ruki there…?"

Takato squinted. "…maybe. But I can't verify. But you'd better not keep them waiting."

            "Just wonderful," Lee muttered as he walked to his closet. "I'd better find an attire fitting for being CREAMED."

Takato winked suggestively. "I'll heal you later, if you want."

            Lee flushed bright red again. "Taka-chan…"

"Speak of the devil!" Hirokazu announced, standing up with his hands in his pockets. "China Boy emerges!"

            "What took you so long?!" Ruki demanded, punching her fists together.

Lee, with Takato tagging closely along, crossed the street to the bench where their friends resided.

            "I was taking a shower," Lee answered coldly. "Now what're you all doing sitting in front of my residence at sunset? That's a little freaky, you know."

                        "Just a feeling," Juri explained. "But we just knew you were occupied." She pointed to Takato with her puppet-hand.

The others did a doubletake as they looked at Takato, who was still noticeably damp.

            "Holy shit!" Hirokazu hollered. "I didn't think you guys had the guts to DO that!!"

"H-how could they catch up with us so quickly?!" Kenta shouted. "That's just not possible!"

            Takato looked up in anxiety. "For Kami's sake, we didn't DO anything in the shower…"

"ANYTHING? Give me a break." 'Kazu was not convinced. "Doesn't look like you didn't do anything."

            "Dammit, 'Kazu! All we did was make out! …for a long time, but still! That was it!"

"So you two ARE a thing now!" Juri said with excitement. "That's so cool!"

"So all six of us are happily in love, goody good good…" Ruki sarcastically said, walking over to Lee. "You're out of time to be alive. You are to die now."

            Lee was not amused. "Just get this over with."

"GLADLY!"

Takato tried his best to ignore the punches and kicks Ruki was dealing on his boyfriend.

            "So…uh…why ARE you guys standing out here?"

"Well, 'Kazu just won a contest that includes a paid vacation as grand prize!" Kenta piped up. "We get our own vehicles and everything! The rules said he could bring five people along, so who better than us five?"

"No kidding!" Takato said in disbelief. "So 'Kazu, you're taking all of us? Including Ruki?"

            Hirokazu sighed. "Juri said she wouldn't come if Ruki wasn't invited."

"Don't worry, she won't be kicking anyone's ass on this trip," Juri assured. "Unless she's provoked."

Takato's eyes were sparkling. "That totally sounds like a blast, guys! But what about our Digimon…?"

            "Screw them!" 'Kazu lazily replied. "They can do fine without us for a few weeks, the dummies. This is OUR vacation, and no one's gonna fuck it up!"

                        "Awesome!" Takato beamed. "I can get some awesome scenery in for my movie!"

"Takato, really…!" Juri groaned.

            "You're not allowed to bring the video camera," Kenta ordered. "If you do, we'll kill you."

Takato slumped. "You guys are no fun at all, you know that?!"

            "You're still coming, right?" Hirokazu asked.

"Sure, sure," confirmed Takato. "I'm sure Lee would love to come too…ne, Lee-chan?"

"Ha-hai…!" Lee's broken voice sputtered before he screamed in pain again.

"And since we're getting our own vehicles, you know what that means…?" Hirokazu asked.

            "What's that?" Juri questioned curiously.

"ROADTRIP!!"
