Chapter 191

It became late in the day by the time Harry and the DigiDestined finally finished their conversation, so everyone had to call it a day and go home, though the DigiDestined didn't want to leave Harry out of their sight.

The fear of him suddenly disappearing on them again, remained in them, so they all talked amongst each other and decided for Tai and Kari to take him, Nejire, and Eri to their home to stay over.

Harry tried to decline saying that he could make something to stay over in this world, but the DigiDestined denied it and thus Harry was to stay with the Kamiyas.

Though Harry did open dark corridors back to everyone's houses so they would get home quickly, except for Meiko and Meicoomon, he didn't know where they lived after, so instead Tai, Harry, Eri, Kari, and Nejire walked Meiko and Meicoomon home.

It took them just a few train stops but they quickly arrived at Meiko's neighborhood and dropped her at home, after saying goodbye to the new DigiDestined and her Digimon partner, the group then went to the Kamiyas' home.

On the way there Kari held onto Eri's hand and cheerfully told her about more of the DigiDestined's adventures in the Digital World, which had Eri feeling rather excited and curious, Tai, Nejire, and Harry were just speaking a bit about Nejire's world, which had Tai very excited to learn from.

The Digimon were enjoying running around everywhere and having fun, well except Dorumon, who just quietly kept an eye on Agumon, Lopmon, the two Gatomons, and BlackGatomon.

Thanks to Harry's wards and spells, the Digimon could run around freely and do what they wanted without worry of being seen by humans, but someone still had to babysit them and make sure they didn't get into trouble, Dorumon silently took that job, as always.

It didn't take long for everyone to arrive at the Kamiyas' home, the group walked inside and were greeted by Yuuko Kamiya, Tai and Kari's mother, she was cooking something which made her son and daughter sweat with worry.

But, when she greeted everyone, she suddenly gasped and dropped what she was holding when she caught sight of Harry "H-Harry?".

Harry gave Yuuko a sad little smile in response and silently hoped he wouldn't get hit again "Hello Miss Kamiya... it's been a while huh?"

Yuuko immediately ran towards Harry and hugged him tightly "Where have you been young man! I and the other kids' parents have been looking everywhere! You're in a lot of trouble!".

Harry chuckled and smiled, while hugging Yuuko back, all of his friends' parents knew of him and treat him like family, especially because their kids told them, that it was Harry who took care of them and protected them at all times.

So when he had gone missing, all of the parents panicked as well and began to look for him any way they could, Harry knew that he was going to be scolded by them whenever they see him again but, he didn't mind that at all.

Yuuko sniffed and clean her eyes with her sleeves, she didn't want to cry right now, but she did however grabbed both of Harry's cheeks and pulled them hard, causing the dragon god to flinch in surprise "Don't ever do that again!".

Harry nodded and Yuuko held his cheeks for a good five seconds before letting go of him, she then gave him a big smile and said "You better promise...".

And Harry immediately nodded at high speed, he knew better than to not do what a mother tells you to do, mothers are just scary when they're mad and he didn't want to deal with that "I promise!...".

Yuuko nodded and then blinked when she finally noticed the little girl wearing a witch's hat giggling at Harry, seems like she found the whole thing amusing, Yuuko smiled and then decided to speak with the adorable little witch "Oh? and who are you, sweetie?".

Eri stopped laughing at her father and then turned around towards Yuuko, she then proceeded to give her a big bright smile and introduce herself "Hello! I'm Eri Potter! the Witch of Destruction and the Dragon God of Magic!".

Yuuko stared at Eri in silence for a few seconds, before squealing and hugging Eri tightly, which got her giggling and hugging Yuuko back "She's so adorable!~ I'm going to keep her!".

Kari whole heartily agreed with her mother, while Tai laughed "That's Harry's daughter mom, I don't think you can take her from him".

Yuuko turned to stare at Harry so fast, it actually scared everyone a bit, but then Yuuko grinned "Wait... Harry is like my son... then that means... Eri is my granddaughter! Even better!".

Tai sweatdropped at the whole thing his mother just came up with, while Harry chuckled, Kari blinked and then widely smiled "Wait... then Eri is my niece! Yay! I thought I was never going to get a niece or nephew! Not when my big brother is so dense~".

Tai looked like someone slapped him in the face, it got worse when his own mother nodded in agreement with his sister, all with a worried look on her face "I always thought I would have to wait for Kari to get married before I could get a grandkid, thank goodness for Harry".

Tai dropped to his knees and looked down in defeat "I'm not that bad with girls... am I?".

Agumon, being the best friend he is, patted Tai on his back in support, Kari and Yuuko smiled at Tai, while Harry chuckled "Ah, the sister, mother tag team attack, brutal as ever".

Tai groaned in defeat, suddenly Nejire giggled finding the whole thing amusing, which caught Yuuko's attention, she smiled at Nejire and then said "Oh my! Aren't you a beautiful girl? I don't think my daughter has any friends like you.

Your definitely not a friend of my son either, no way he would be smooth enough speak with a girl as pretty as you" Tai groaned again, but was ignored "Then... that would make you a friend of Harry, correct?".

Nejire nodded and gave Yuuko a big wide smile "Yup! Harry is my super duper friend! My name is Nejire Hado and it's very nice to meet you, Miss Kamiya!".

Yuuko smiled and nodded to Nejire "It's nice to meet you too dear, now come on in and make yourself at home, you too Harry! Welcome home".

Harry nodded, back when he first was in this world, Tai and Kari had sneaked him into their home to give him a place to stay, they snuck him food and such until Yuuko found him one day.

She was surprised to have found a young boy in her home, but since she found him in Kari and Tai's room, she figured he was one of his friends, Harry had been embarrassed at being caught by Yuuko but explained everything to her.

Yuuko then practically adopted him, something her husband Susumu Kamiya agreed with right away, both didn't want Harry to stay on the streets since he didn't have anywhere else to go, after all at the time they didn't know what he could do, and about all of his abilities.

So they treated him like a regular boy and like part of the family, something that endeared the Kamiyas to Harry, if he was honest, he wouldn't have wanted to bother them again, but Kari and Tai were stubborn and here he was.

Though the big happy smile on his face that appeared when Yuuko welcomed him home, didn't leave his face until he want to sleep.

-----

After that little meet and greet, Yuuko took everyone to the kitchen and made them dinner, Tai and Kari looked at the food in worry, while Harry and Eri ate the strange food with gusto, they were dragons after all, they can eat anything they want.

Nejire didn't even hesitate and eat the food as well, she even said she likes it because the taste was very unique, Yuuko was very happy to hear and see these three eat the food she made.

Meanwhile, Kari and Tai looked confused and worried, they didn't even know what their mother used to make this dinner with! and Harry, Eri, and Nejire were eating it like it was nothing.

After dinner, everyone went to Tai's room to speak a bit and hang out before lights out, everyone sat on the floor, well except Eri, she sat on Kari's lap, but as everyone relaxed, Tai raised a question "Harry, don't you have to go back to your world?".

Kari tensed up, but Eri patted her hand and looked up at her with a smile on her face, this helped Kari calm down a bit, but she still felt a bit worried about Harry having to leave again, Harry nodded to Tai's question "I have to, I have to protect my home and my family is there as well".

Both Tai and Kari looked down sadly, they knew this was a visit, that Harry didn't come here to stay, they understood though, after all, he has a lot of responsibilities now and his family is waiting for him.

It was still a very sad thought though, Harry smiled as he saw both Kari and Tai looked sad, so he quickly explained something very important to them "There's no need to look sad guys, I'm going to open a portal to my Home in this world.

That way all of you can come and visit whenever you want, and vice versa, I promised you guys, so I'm not leaving for good, so cheer up, we'll never have to say goodbye".

Both Kari and Tai looked up and gave Harry some very big and happy smiles, Kari then hugged Eri tightly as she began to happily speak "I'll get to meet all of your family then! All your kids too! I can't wait!".

Tai nodded "I want to see Neo Kyoto! See real Yokai, Vampires, and Aliens! This is going to be great!".

Nejire called and then smiled "Then you can come to visit my world too, we can hang out and I'll even introduce you to my friend and heroes!".

Both Tai and Kari smiled in excitement, this was big and they couldn't wait to tell everyone about it, Harry chuckled and then smiled before telling his friends a few things "But first, we have to resolve whatever is going on here, there's a lot going on, in this world and I'm sure something big is on its way".

Kari and Tai nodded, they both of course agreed with Harry on this, something big was going on and they wanted to resolve it as soon as possible, Eri cheered and then said "Me and my Digimon are ready to help at any time!".

Nejire nodded and then said, "Lopmon and I are ready too!".

The Digimon who had been jumping on Tai's bed stopped what they were doing and cheered in agreement, which made everyone smile, Dorumon who was sitting on Tai's computer chair and listening to the conversation nodded "We have to keep an eye open for any Holy Royal Digimon Knight.

Alphamon is bad enough, but any of the others making an appearance here, would be too dangerous, each Royal Knight has one or more special abilities that make them very formidable, if more show up, we'll have to be careful about dealing with them then".

Everyone nodded, Harry sighed "Hopefully none of them show up, they're a troublesome bunch".

Suddenly, Kari got a text and she quickly checked it out "Oh! Mimi wants all of us to get together and hang out tomorrow! She wants to go to an Onsen!".

Tai raised an eyebrow "An onsen? Why?".

Kari smiled and said, "She thinks, it's a good way to welcome Meiko, Eri, and Nejire to the group, plus it will give us a great way to get to know each other better!".

Harry nodded "Sure I don't mind, it actually sounds like fun".

Nejire clapped "Oooo~ girl on girl time! This is great! We'll gossip, speak about the boys' butts, about snacks, and all kinds of things!".

Kari sweatdropped but nodded, Tai raised an eyebrow at Nejire and then mouthed to Harry 'Boys' butts?' but Harry just chuckled and shrugged, Eri was lost, but she ignore all of that and was just excited to hang out with everyone again.

The group stayed together and spoke late into the night, until everyone went to sleep Nejire and Eri will be sleeping with Kari in her room, while Harry is staying in Tai's room.

With that decided, everyone went to sleep very excited to soon hang out with friends again and spent a relaxing day at the Onsen.

-----

The next morning, Meiko was running around her room in her home, she was feeling a bit nervous and excited since she had received an invitation to hang out with the DigiDestined today and she wanted to look good, so she had been rummaging in her closet to find something to wear.

But she was having a hard time picking something, Meicoomon suddenly popped her head out of a pile of clothes and spoke "Meiko, it's time~ huh? You're not ready?".

Meiko smiled at her Digimon partner and said "Just a second! or a million..." Meiko was staring at two sets of clothes trying to pick one "Which one?..." Meiko then turned her head towards Meicoomon and decided to ask her for her opinion "What do you think Mei? Which one looks good?".

Meicoomon tilted her head and shrugged "I don't know? I wear the same thing every day".

Meiko sweatdropped at Meicoomon's answer and then groaned in frustration, looks like she not getting any help soon.

-----

Tai and Harry were on the balcony of the Kamiya's home and looked down as the city was already fixing the damage caused by the three wild Kuwagamon, Harry couldn't really restore it since it was already in the process of being repaired.

But next time there won't be anything to fix with him around, Tai had a concerned frown on his face, but Harry clapped his back and gave him a smile, Tai grinned at Harry and then gave him a nod.

Kari opened the door to the balcony and called out to Harry and Tai "Come on guys, time for breakfast!".

Both Harry and Tai nodded to Kari and then walked inside with her, though as soon as they got inside they saw Agumon, the Gatomons, BlackGatomon, and Lopmon devouring breakfast.

Kari smiled and even giggled "Better hurry, otherwise the Digimon are going to eat all the food including the table~".

Dorumon walked into the kitchen with Eri and Nejire, Dorumon frowned, when she saw the Digimon pigging out and stomped her foot into the ground, this made all the Digimon stand up straight and paused their eating.

Dorumon glared at them and then said "Eat right and leave food for everyone...".

The Digimon nodded at high speed, everyone knew that it was better to listen to the motherly Dorumon, lest you get punished... severely, if you do not, Kari just laughed at how Dorumon is always getting the Digimon to behave.

Eri giggled, walked over to the table, and grabbed a sandwich to eat, Nejire soon joined her, suddenly, someone rang the doorbell and Tai jumped up, he then took off running to open the door "Oh no!".

Harry chuckled knowing who just arrived and then went to grab a sandwich with Kari joining the group, meanwhile, Tai opened the door and Mimi deadpanned at him "Whaaat? Are you ever on time, and where are Harry and the others?".

Tai nervously chuckled "Ah, sorry Mimi, we'll get ready really quick!".

Mimi sighed and walked inside the Kamiya's home, in her arms was Palmon who smiled as she saw Tai run back to the kitchen, Eri came running to greet Mimi and Mimi immediately smiled upon seeing the little witch "Eri!".

Eri smiled and hugged Mimi's legs "Mimi! Tai told me to distract you! So here I am!".

Mimi grinned when she heard Tai groan and Harry laugh at him, Mimi bent down and hugged Eri with one arm, while still hugging Palmon "You're such a sweetheart Eri, but don't listen to a dummy head like Tai, okay?".

Eri smiled and nodded, Agumon and Gatomon walked over to Palmon and Mimi to greet them, Palmon sighed when she saw that Agumon had been eating still "You're still eating?".

Agumon tilted his head and said, "You're supposed to stop?".

Gatomon giggled and then said "Good morning!".

Mimi smiled at Gatomon, Kari suddenly yelled at everyone from the Kitchen "Sorry! We stayed up really late last night while speaking with Harry, Eri, and Nejire! We'll be ready in a jiffy!".

Mimi walked over to the kitchen and smiled when she saw Harry sitting on the table and eating a sandwich, the dragon god waved at her good morning, Nejire then waved at her as well, while drinking some milk.

Both Eri and Palmon were in Mimi's arms now, so she just smiled at both of her friends, Kari then took out a tote bag, and Mimi was curious about why Kari was holding that tote bag, and decided to ask her about it "Whoa, what's with the luggage, Kari?".

Kari smiled and said, "It's just towels and stuff".

Mimi smiled and then said, "No no~ silly, the Onsen already has towels and stuff".

Kari smiled and nodded, that was good, that meant she didn't have to carry anything, everyone then quickly ate breakfast so they could leave soon.

-----

~Meanwhile~

Driving through a street were two adults, a female and male, these two are members of the organization that has been keeping an eye on the DigiDestined and helping them, whenever a wild Digimon appeared in the real world.

However, the organization was completely unaware that Harry Potter was back in this world otherwise it would have been in a panic, the organization is well aware of Harry and is very wary of him.

Especially because, no matter what they tried to do, they couldn't find any information about him and that left them quite perturbed, but at this moment these two didn't even have that in their minds.

The young adult male by the name of Daigo Nishijima smiled and then said "It's been years since we've been to an Onsen, remember when we went and you didn't want to get out?

I only stayed there for a bit, but you were in there almost all day, by the time you got out, you looked like a raisin!".

Daigo chuckled, which caused Maki Himekawa to glare at him while she drove, Daigo flinched from her glare and then nervously chuckled "Sorry, I know today is all business, what's more fun than not having fun right...".

Daigo sighed and Maki soon stopped at a red light, she then gave Diago a folder and said "Here's the latest intel, by studying the infected Digimon's fly patterns in the areas those digital distortions appeared.

The analysts were able to devise a theory...".

Daigo opened the folder and began to read "... That the infected Digimon are going after a certain person?".

Maki drove off as soon as the light turned green but still answered Diago's question "That's what they think? I think we already know who are they going after...".

Daigo frowned and nodded "Right, gotcha... they're after one of the kids or one of their Digimon partners... what about how everything was fixed after their battle against Alphamon?".

Maki frowned and lightly shook her head "They still haven't figured anything out in that regard... but everyone in the organization seems nervous, almost like they're dreading looking deeper into this".

That made Daigo rather nervous, the people of the organization were reluctant to look into something like that. It didn't make sense and that made him think, that something else was going on here.

-----

~Sometime later~

Meiko was finally able to pick some clothes to wear and quickly left her home with Meicoomon to go to the meeting point, they got there quickly but it was getting pretty late for them, her Digimon partner quickly spoke up as they got closer "Come on Meiko! Hustle~".

Meiko ran even quicker, while Meicoomon cheered for her while being held in Meiko's arms, eventually, Meiko made it and met some of the DigiDestined under a bridge, though seeing she was a bit late, she quickly gave everyone a little bow "I'm sorry!... Were really late".

TK, Sora, Izzy, and Matt just smiled at her, Sora then said "No you're not, your right on time".

Tentomon, Patamon, Biyomon, and Gabumon raised a hand in greeting, while TK smiled and said "Good morning".

Izzy nodded as well and also greeted Meiko "Good to see you Meiko".

Matt just gave her a nod, Meiko smiled and felt a bit flustered but she was really happy that she wasn't late so she ended up speaking a bit too fast "Oh, yes! Good morning! And thank you for inviting us along!".

Meicoomon nodded too "Yeah thanks!".

Everyone just continued to smile, Sora suddenly giggled "Don't forget to breathe, okay?".

TK chuckled as well "You can't be late, this is all for you, Harry, Nejire, and Eri, we're all celebrating the new additions to our group and the return of Harry".

Meiko happily smiled at being included like this "Ah right!" though she looked a bit embarrassed.

Suddenly they heard someone yell, "I told you! But you didn't hurry eating breakfast! I'm just glad Harry can teleport and stuff!".

Everyone turned to see Mimi, Tai, Kari, Harry, Eri, and Nejire walking over, though it seems like Tai was in trouble right now "I'm sorry Mimi! But I can't wolf down food like Harry! he's a dragon!".

Harry just chuckled and shook his head in amusement, meanwhile, Eri grinned and Nejire giggled, Kari waved at everyone when she saw them staring at to her "Good morning everyone".

Everyone raised a hand or limb to greet them, though TK chuckled and said "I knew, I should have called you to wake you".

Kari sighed "Well, we stayed up late with Harry, Eri, and Nejire, time just sort of flew by and we woke up late, because of that, and because my big brother and Agumon took their time eating breakfast we got here late".

Agumon looked up and began to look around "Breakfast!? Where!?".

Eri giggled and shook her head "You already ate Agumon".

Agumon just laughed but didn't seem to really understand the issue, Harry smiled at his friends "Morning guys, sorry for the wait, but you know how it goes with Digimon and food".

The DigiDestined nodded, they all knew how hard it is to get a Digimon to stop eating and such, still, they were all very glad to see everyone, and deep down they were relieved that Harry was still here.

Tai walked over to Matt and gave him a nod, Matt grinned and seemed to be happy that Tai was no longer in the slump he had been in since this situation began, Kari looked around and then decided to ask "Are we all just waiting on Joe?".

Gomamon suddenly jumped out of the water and shook himself dry, before speaking "If we are, then we'll be waiting forever".

Tai sighed and asked, "So Joe can't make it?".

Gomamon shook his head "No, his test is coming up".

Everyone seemed disappointed, but Mimi was more frustrated than anything "All work and no Onsen, makes Joe a dull boy".

Harry chuckled and then said, "Just wait until you have to take your own tests, let's see you talk then".

Everyone glared at Harry but he just smugly grinned at them, none of them appreciated being reminded of their near future, Meiko just nervously giggled not knowing what to say in this situation, Sora finally stopped glaring at Harry and then sighed "Oh well, we better get a move on".

Everyone nodded, Izzy then took out his laptop and said "Okay you guys, hope in!" Tentomon flew up and said, "Mind if I fly in?".

Mimi suddenly spoke up before the Digimon could jump into Izzy's laptop "Can't we just carry them? I think they should get a fun day at the Onsen too, besides, Harry can make sure no one can see them with his magic".

Palmon nodded "Oooh! That sounds like fun!".

Izzy smiled and nodded while closing his laptop "Well, I guess that would be fine too".

Sora nodded "It sounds safe enough too".

Biyomon raised her wing and cheerfully said "I want to go and take a soak!".

Kari's Gatomon nodded "Me too!".

Eri's Gatomon nodded as well, while BlackGatomon grinned "Well, it's always fun taking a bath with Eri, so this sounds even better!".

Lopmon raised both hands "I deserve some relaxation! Dealing with Nejire is very stressful!".

Everyone turned to look at Nejire, but she just smiled at everyone and didn't say anything to defend herself, which made everyone sweatdrop, TK shook his head and said "I think we should do it, we really don't have anything to worry about anyways".

Patamon jumped onto TK's shoulder and brightly smiled "All riiight!".

Matt just shrugged "Well, I think they deserve some fun too, especially after the fight yesterday" Gabumon just smiled at Matt and gave him a thumbs up.

Tai then turned his head towards Harry and asked "So do you mind doing it, Harry".

Harry just nodded at Tai and then said "I don't mind, besides, the Digimon do deserve to have some fun, we can't always keep them inside a bag or make them pretend they're dolls or something".

Everyone agreed with Harry, Mimi happily smiled at everyone "Great, then it's settled!".

Izzy nodded "All right then, let go everyone".

Mimi loudly cheered "Alright! Onsen! Here we go!".

Eri loudly cheered as well, while everyone smiled and fist pumped to cheer with Mimi, the Digimon, who were now allowed to go, were excited and happy to be able to have some fun.

Dorumon sighed and shook her head "Looks like I'm on babysitting duty...".

Harry chuckled when he heard his Digimon partner "You love it".

Dorumon didn't respond to Harry and just huffed, but she didn't deny it either, which made Harry smile at his partner.

-----

~Soon after~

Harry quickly cast the spells on the Digimon so no one could hear or see them, afterwards, everyone then took off to their destination, along the way everyone was talking amongst each other about mundane stuff.

Suddenly Mimi grinned at Harry and then said "I've been planning a day in the Onsen ever since I moved back to Japan "It takes a lot of hard work to relax!".

Harry raised an eyebrow at that "Really? I just take a nap everywhere in my dragon form, it's pretty relaxing actually, and not that hard to do".

Everyone tried not to laugh imagining Harry just sleeping anywhere in his dragon form, for some reason the thought of him just dropping for a nap anywhere seemed funny to think about.

-----

Soon everyone continued to walk over to the Onsen, still speaking with each other about mundane fun things.

Meiko suddenly spoke up to ask a question "If you don't mind me asking Mimi, where did you live before?".

Mimi smiled and quickly answered Meiko's question "Why would I mind? My family lived in the States for a while, ask me anything MeiMei".

Meiko seemed a bit surprised at the sudden nickname she was given "Huh?".

Mimi smiled and nodded "Ask away!".

Meiko looked perplexed but still asked a question "Well, why MeiMei?".

Mimi giggled and answered right away "It's short for Meiko!".

Everyone sweatdropped now, Harry huffed and shook his head "No it isn't...".

Sora nervously laughed and then said, "It's almost twice as long...".

TK chuckled finding the whole thing funny "Reminds me of a cute little sheep".

Meiko jumped a bit in surprise "Ah! What? Sheep!?".

Kari suddenly pinched TK on the ribs, which made him flinch in pain, the scary thing about this, and the reason the guys stepped away from her when they saw her do that, was that Kari had a very scary smile on her face now.

Kari then over sweetly said, "Watch out... TK Digivolved into Flirtmon...".

The guys, even Harry sent a small prayer to TK, who just smiled back despite the pain he was feeling right now "Oh stop it, your making a scene in front of Harry!".

Kari opened her eyes wide and turned her head towards Harry, who nervously laughed, suddenly, Sora and Mimi's eyes shined maliciously, Mimi grabbed Harry's arm and said "Wow! What an aggressive girl Kari has become, huh Harry?".

Sora grabbed his other arm and nodded "Poor TK, she's so mean huh Harry?".

Kari glared at Sora and Mimi, who smugly stared at her, everyone could see some sparks clashing where their eyes met.

Harry just tensed up and didn't say anything, there was no way he was going to step right onto that landmine, however, his salvation came in the form of his daughter Eri, who clapped and cheerfully said, "I like it! MeiMei sounds like a nice and cute nickname~".

Everyone turned around towards Eri who took out her wand and waved it towards Meiko, suddenly, a cute sheep hat appeared on her head making Meiko jump a bit, Eri just smiled and said "Bah!".

Here and there, everyone immediately decided, that yes, Meiko's nickname is forever going to be MeiMei, Harry was inwardly thanking his daughter's cuteness for distracting Sora, Mimi, and Kari, who squealed and went to hug Eri.

-----

~Some minutes later~

Everyone arrived at the Onsen and were looking at all the types and colors available for yukatas that one could pick, Meiko was awed at all of the options though "So many to choose from...".

Mimi smiled and nodded "Yup! Just pick your favorite color!".

Meiko nodded "Okay...".

Nejire pointed a light blue one "That one for me!".

Eri picked a crimson red one "That one!".

While the girls were having fun picking a color and yukata to wear, the guys were all just picking whatever, well except Izzy who was not sure what to pick "I don't know... I like fish but that one is kinda wild...".

Suddenly, Mimi butt in and picked one for him "That one right there!".

Izzy just gaped at her but didn't argue, he knew better after all, TK who was watching all of this laughed in amusement.

Sora suddenly leaned in towards Meiko who was picking a sash for her yukata and asked her "Which one did you pick?".

Meiko got a bit flustered and surprised, but answered the question nonetheless "Oh.. I got number four".

Sora nodded and then pointed at a sash "What about that one that way it will match".

Meiko nodded and then gave Sora and thankful smile "Thank you very much!".

With everyone having picked what they were going to wear in the Onsen, the DigiDestined, Harry, Nejire, and Eri walked over to the changing rooms to get ready to spend a good time together.

-----

~At the same time.~

Joe was studying for his exams at the same moment the DigiDestined were getting changed, only to suddenly get a text, he quickly grabbed his phone and read it.

It was from Sora, letting him know that they had made it to the Onsen safely and that Gomamon was having a lot of fun, she even sent him a picture with a smiling Gomamon wearing sunglasses, it made Joe chuckle and smile seeing his friend having fun.

-----

Sora put away her phone and smiled, she inwardly wondered how Joe would react to the fact that Harry was back, no one had told him anything yet, because he's been stressing a lot with his test, and knowing him, he would drop everything he was doing to come to see Harry.

So they kept it secret from him for now, besides, Harry told them that he would be going to see Joe soon, so they would leave the réunion to him.

Meiko suddenly called out to Sora snapping her out of her thoughts "Do we... just change clothes?".

Sora noticed that Meiko seemed a bit nervous, so she tried to put her at ease with a smile, she then nodded and said "Yup then put on your yukata".

Meiko nervously nodded and went to change with the girls, Eri, and Nejire were with them, so the girls were keeping an eye on them, Eri because she was young, and Nejire because Harry told them that she could easily get into trouble.

Kari just finished changing when Mimi suddenly yelled "Kari! Reach for the sky!".

Kari smiled and shook her head "No thank you".

Mimi pouted "Aww, your no fun Kari!".

Palmon raised her limbs and called out to Mimi "I'll do it, Mimi!".

Mimi smiled and wrapped Palmon's waist with a sash and then pulled it off Palmon, causing her to spin like a top, Meicoomon's eyes shined in interest as she called to her partner "Meiko! I want to spin like that!".

Palmon stopped spinning and wobbled a bit before Mimi caught her "Palmon, your supposed to say weeee!" but Palmon just groaned while still being dizzy.

Biyomon then came running and cheerfully said "I want to spin next".

Eri giggled and decided to join in on the fun, she wrapped Biyomon's waist with a sash and then pulled, Biyomon spun around like a top while cheerfully saying "weeee!".

Eri and Kari's Gatomon, BlackGatomon and Lopmon were sitting in top of the lockers in the changing room and looking down, when Eri and the other Digimon jumped on top of the lockers and grabbed them so they could have some fun too.

Dorumon sighed and shook her head, but if you looked closely, you could see a small smile of amusement, seems like the motherly Dorumon was happy her friends were having fun.
