"Hopefully this will work," Takato mumbled to himself. He had a box of cream puffs in one hand and a yellow daisy in the other. He had decided to follow his dad's advice and do what he did to make Jeri forgive him. He would have bought a red rose, only he was kind of short on cash. Takato was walking to her house, he was a bit nervous. 'What if she doesn't forgive me? What if she won't let explain?' These thoughts kept running through his mind while walking there. Soon he reached his destination. Takato straightened his blue shirt, cleared his throat, and rang the doorbell. He stood there for a couple of minutes and then noticed that all the lights were off. "I guess she's not here, she's probably at the dance." Takato let out a sad sigh. He decided to head over to Guilmon's place and give him the box of cream puffs.

"Rika!" A young blonde girl with blue eyes called out.
Rika turned her head to see Alice and Henry walking over to her. "Hey you guys. Have you seen Jeri?"
They were at the school dance, practically everyone was there, well almost everyone.
"No, I haven't. I don't think she's here." Henry replied.
"Rika I can't believe you're talking to him! After what Takato, him, and the others did!" Nikki and Mikki had joined up with them too. It was Mikki who had bursted out. She looked like she was ready to slap Henry.
Seeing this, Henry held up his hands in defense. "Wait! You don't even know the whole story!"
"What's going on?" Kazu, Kenta, and Ryo showed up. Kazu had asked the question.
"Ryo, what are you doing here? You don't go to this school. You're not even in the same grade as us." Rika asked the Digimon King.
"I came to see you, Pumpkin." Ryo answered, teasing her.
"I'll show you Pumpkin!" Rika headed towards him, but Nikki stopped her.
"So basically you crashed the dance?" Nikki asked.
"Yup."
"No one still hasn't answered my question." Everyone turned to Kazu.
"Mikki was about to pound me for what you did." Henry said.
"You did it!?" Mikki stomped to Kazu raising her hand.
"Wait!" Everyone turned to the blonde girl who had cried out while everyone else kept dancing. "Henry said that there is a story. I would like to hear it," Alice replied.
Mikki put her hand down and decided to listen to what they had to say. They than began the story.

"Guilmon, are you here?" Jeri asked with Calumon in her arms.
"Jeri is that you?" The red dinosaur said rather sleepily. He was sleeping when Jeri came.
"Yeah it's me."
"Don't forget about me!" Calumon jumped out of Jeri's arms and next to Guilmon.
"Who could forget about you Calumon?" Guilmon said. The red dinosaur then looked up at Jeri. "So what brings you two here?"
"Just a visit." Jeri patted Guilmon on the head.
"Guilmon!" Jeri looked behind her to see Takato.
"Takato..." Jeri simply stood there, unsure what to do.
"Jeri..." Takato didn't know what to do either.
The two just kept staring at each other. Then Guilmon spoke up. "I smell cream puffs!"
"Me too!" Calumon cheered out.
Takato finally came back to reality and realized he still had the box of cream puffs and the flower.
"Oh, uh, these are for you." Takato handed the items to Jeri. Guilmon had a sad face realizing that the cream puffs weren't for him. Seeing this Jeri handed the box to him and Calumon, who then started to gobble the pastries down. She looked back at Takato.
"Were you looking for me?" She asked him.
"Uh, yeah, but you weren't at your house." An uncomfortable silence came upon them. Takato broke the silence. "Um Jeri, can I talk to you?"
"You are talking to me."
"I mean like outside."
"Alright then." The two then walked out to the steps in front of Guilmon's house. Jeri sat down on one of them, Takato followed after them. There was once again silence between them.
"I'm sorry." the two said in unison. They looked at each other.
"What are you sorry about Jeri?" Takato asked.
Jeri looked down at the flower in her hands and said, "For when I kind of over reacted that day."
Takato recalled that day. He then looked down and said, "You had the right to over react. I'd probably do the same thing too if I had found out someone was playing a mean joke on me." Jeri looked at him and Takato raised his head to look at her. "But Jeri, that's not what happened."
"It's not?"
"No, it's not. You see, I wasn't playing a trick on you at all." Takato then continued on, explainning the whole story to her.
*** "What's the matter Mikki, you looked rather shocked." Henry asked the pig-tailed girl.
"I just can't believe that Kazu wrote those romantic things." She replied shaking her head. Everyone laughed.
"I don't think Jeri knows about this you guys," Nikki pointed out. "We should go tell her and then bring Takato and her together."
"Right" Everyone agreed and all of them left the dance to find their friends.
*** "I get it now," Jeri said, twirling the daisy in her hand. "I'm so sorry for not letting you explain that day."
"It's alright, Jeri." Takato said smiling at her.
"Takato?"
"Yeah, Jeri?"
"Was it true? What you said that day, was it true?"
A blush appeared on Takato's face. "Yeah. I really do like you Jeri. Actually I think I'm in love with you."
It was Jeri's turn to blush. "So in a way you are my secret admirer."
Takato nodded and said, "I guess so."
"Takato?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you too."
The two blushed and brought their faces closer to each others until their lips met. Guilmon and Calumon, each with a big fat belly, exited the little house and saw them kissing. Guilmon was holding a empty box of cream puffs.
"Should we tell them that we finished the snacks?" Calumon asked his friend.
"Nah, let's leave them alone for awhile." Guilmon answered and led Calumon back to his place.
The two digimon weren't the only ones who witnessed Takato's and Jeri's kiss. Their friends had seen it too.
"I told you they would be at the park." Kazu said.
"Aww so cute!" Mikki and Nikki said.
"I guess they worked it out on their own." Henry said with a smile.
"Yeah." Rika answered smiling at the sight of her two friends, finally together.
All of them decided to leave the two lovebirds alone and head back to the dance.
The End
