"Sleepover! Sleepover!" Gammamon is cheering as he helps Hiro pack.

Hiro can only smile as he nods, saying, "Mei got us a place to have the sleepover too!"

"Yay!!" He smiles. "Champion! Champion!'

"Later. Let's finish packing," Hiro chides.

He pouts but nods as he tries his best to assist in the packing.

In Ruri's place, she's packing with Angoramon, "This is so cool!!"

Angoramon smiles, "It is nice to have gatherings like this."

She smiles as she agrees, "Especially with all the nonsense that has happened...."

"It has been a lot," he muses. With the additional background stuff, they have dealt with the new Sin Code Digimon to save the world from the Sin Codes.

"Mmhm. Just glad that we're able to relax now!"

"Yeah. Mei also gave me some new books to read," He is clearly excited by this.

"Let's go then!!" She smiles as she takes her bag.

He nods, "Of course"

The two then set off.

"Ushishishishi!!!" With Kiyoshiro and Jellymon, the jellyfish Digimon is 'helping' by throwing stuff in her bag. If it hits Kiyoshiro, too bad.

"Ugh! Be careful!"

She laughs, "No way~~"

"Those are valuable mangas and my VR set!"

She shrugs but is a bit more gentle at least.

"I heard that place has a spa," Kiyo packs the thrown items in his bag. "It would be nice for relaxing!"

She smiles, "YES!"

"You can finally have a girls' night with Ruli, Mei, and Shiramon," He suggests.

"Yes!!!!" She grins. "And Darling, you can finally have a fun night with Hiro, Gammamon, Angoramon, Bokomon, and Pumpmon without being threatened by a bug!"

"Don't joke about that!!!" He finishes packing with a pale face, although soon it is replaced by a soft smile.

She laughs, "You're too stiff, Darling! Come on, this is going to be fun!"

"I know, I know," He smiles and gets ready to head out

She grins and goes into her smaller form as the two head off.

With Mei and Shiramon, the two are packing while the babies are surrounding them.

"This is exciting!" the babies are jumping. Their aunts and uncles are coming!!

"Sorry little ones, you all are staying with Mummymon tonight," Mei chuckles as Wulfmon packs stuff into her small bag. They have had to go mega for an incident so Wulf is here for a while.

The babies freeze. W-What?! W-Why!? The thought of not being able to go breaks their hearts as they sniffle.

"You are still too young," She explains. "Sorr- No, no puppy eyes. I am immune now"

They look so SAD, and some of them even have their eyes widened to the best of their ability.

"No. Please stop...."

They begin crying. They were really looking forward to this...

Mei feels bad too but she can't take them, so the second-best thing is...

"Candy?" She offers.

"Candy!" They cheer up.

Mei sighs in relief as she gives them the candy, which they eat up excitedly, before she smiles, "Better?"

They nod slightly. They will still see them anyway! It's okay! Plus, candy always makes things better!

"Good. Now, be good for Mummymon, and no more messing with patients. He takes his work seriously."

They nod again despite the pouts. Dang it! They can't prank grandpa anymore!

Mei then sends them through email. The moment they leave is when Wulfmon starts to tear up and whimpers. Noticing this, Mei can only facepalm, "Oh come on! It's just for one night!"

"S-Still they're my babies!"

"Wulfmon, they will be fine," Mei picks up her Digimon and leaves.

She rubs her paws slightly but nods. Hopefully, she's right.

With Akashiro, Bokomon, Bakumon, and Pumpmon, Eos is finishing their packing while the others are preparing as well, "This is going to be fun!"

Pumpmon jumps on the bed, "I CAN'T WAIT! HEHE!~"

"Alright, calm down," Bokomon chuckles as he's picked up by Eos before the gender-fluid Tamer picks up Pumpmon as Bakumon floats beside them.

Eos chuckles as they pat the two, "Let's go, shall we?"

"Yeah! Yeah!"

They smile before the group sets off. Eos is really happy they got Pump back, after Dracmon killed him, Eos was wading in despair... But now they're the honorary parent of 4 kids and they couldn't be happier.

The group meets up in a cafe. Hiro, Kiyoshiro, and Mei arrive first, although the other two are coming up soon.

"Mei!" Hiro waves excitedly.

"Hey Hiro," She waves back with a small smile.

"Wulf!!" Gammamon nuzzles her.

"Hey Gamma," She giggles.

He smiles while Jellymon teases Hiro a bit, "I'm surprised you didn't invite your boyfriend~"

"Be nice Jellymon," Mei insists.

"Still!!"

"You can tease him later."

She pouts but relents, "Fineeeee."

"So we are just waiting for Ruli and Eos right?" Wulfmon asks.

Kiyoshiro nods, but soon a "Higacchi!!!" calls to them as Ruri and Angoramon come along.

Soon, Eos and their partners show up.

"Hi, friends!!!" Pumpmon waves.

"Hey everyone," Mei smiles while Wulfmon greets them, "Hi!"

"Hey," Eos yawns as they rub their eyes.

"Makua, did you sleep last night?" Hiro asks, concerned about their physique.

"Yes, it's just that my body can't adjust to the lack of sleep cause I had a case," they answer. "And I told you guys to stop calling me that!!!"

Hiro whistles innocently.

"Do I need to get you sleep powder again?" Mei asks with a smirk, which causes Wulf to chuckle.

"Nope! Nope! I am PERFECTLY FINE!" they fume with a red face. "So don't you DARE Mei!"

"Yeah, I sure will," Mei chuckles.

Everyone bursts out laughing before Hiro says, "Let's go then, we have to get on the bus soon."

Wulfmon jumps into Mei's bag. Gammamon does the same, while Angoramon and Jellymon go transparent as Bokomon and Pumpmon ride on Eos' shoulders.

They arrive at the place. It's the hotel where the three met Koemon.

"A Digimon?" Mei sees him sitting on a sofa, and he notices them as he jumps over excitedly.

"Hi!!!" Koemon hugs Gammamon. "I'm back from my journey!"

"Yay!!" Gammamon hugs back.

"Who's this?" Eos is confused.

"New friend! New friend! Hi, I'm Pumpmon!" Pumpmon hops down and hugs him.

"I'm Koemon!"

"I'm guessing they are old friends," Mei hands Wulfmon to Eos as she checks their room.

it's actually pretty spacious. It's divided into 3 sections; one for the guys, one for the girls, and one for Eos and as the main living room.

"Yeah!" Hiro smiles as he hugs Koemon before letting Ruri coddle him.

"Nice to mee-"

"Plushie!" A little girl takes Wulfmon and runs off.

Wulfmon quickly pretends she's a plushie to avoid suspicion.

"Wait hold on!!!" Eos rushes after the girl.

Mei comes back just as the two disappear, "Got our rooms– where are Eos and Wulfmon?"

"I think they ran off?" Bakumon shrugs.

"A young girl thought Wulf was a plushie?" This happens a lot, apparently.

"Yeah," Hiro snorts.

Soon Eos comes back, "Alright, let's get in!"

"Why are you two covered in make-up?" Ruli asks, chuckling.

"Don't mention it to Dad and we're cool," they answer with a red face.

"And sent," She pretends to send the pic.

"RURI!!!!" their face is a tomato now.

Mei laughs and the others snort but soon they are in their room.

Mei, Ruli, Wulfmon, and Jellymon are in room 1. Wulf calls it Room Amazons. Then, Hiro, Gammamon, Angoramon, and Kiyoshiro are in Room 2. Wulfmon calls it the Hero room. Finally, Eos, Bokomon, Bakumon, and Pumpmon are in room 3. Wulf calls it the Eos cave.

"Why Eos cave?" Eos looks done.

Hiro is actually dying of laughter in the corner much to Gammamon's confusion.

"Yours has the heated bed, mini-fridge, best view, and free mini pool," Mei explains as Wulfmon giggles.

Eos rolls their eyes despite the fond look they have, "You guys can take it. I don't need it."

"We can't," Mei reminds them. She's already booked all the rooms for them. No swaps or changes.

Meanwhile, Wulf struggles to get the makeup off, so Ruri helps her take it off.

Eos sighs, "You're going to spend a good amount of time here so don't worry."

Mei shrugs but soon heads into her room as she starts to unpack her stuff. The others soon do the same and even change into haoris once they go to the hot baths.

Shiramon's tamer relaxes for the first time in a long time while Wulfmon stays off to the side while Ruri and Jellymon are just relaxing in the tub.

"Ahhhhh this is so nice," Ruri smiles.

Mei nods, agreeing with her, "I haven't relaxed since I was with....." She goes back to silence as she remembers... that time, a time so long ago, when she had had her brothers... now gone, because of... Ravemon...

"It's okay, we're all here now," Ruri says while giving her an awkward hug.

Mei nods, and while she doesn't say anything, she hugs back, which provides a good enough answer.

"Lucky, I can't float in this for-" Wulf gets picked up again.

"Plushie!" The girl runs off with Wulfmon. AGAIN?! How did Shiramon's luck get as bad as Hiro's?!

"AHHH WAIT!!" Ruri goes after her.

Mei sighs and Jellymon giggles before they settle into silence again, this time much more comfortable.

"....You should be nicer to Kiyo," She tells Jellymon.

"I am!" She pouts. "I had to learn my lesson after nearly dying on my own during the Gluttony Arc!'

"Okay then."

She shrugs but she does relax a bit.

Mei sighs, but then says, "Thanks...."

"Hey, it's no problem."

"Not for that."

'Huh?'

"For stopping me from what I was going to do to Ravemon. From making a mistake that I could never take back...."

Realising she is talking about the Envy arc, Jellymon rubs her neck, "Oh... Well... It's not your fault. You were mad and I understood that but it was something you had to quit so I did what I had to do. A-as a friend." She looks away.

Mei just hugs her, "Thank you... THANK YOU...."

She hugs back with a really red face, "N-No problem."

It is then that she notices Mei's tears, and since she's not used to tears, she panics.

Wulf and Ruli come back to this, and Wulf's eyes widen as she demands, "Jellymon...why is Mei crying...? Did you make her cry?!"

Both are in makeup, though that doesn't make Jellymon relax. Instead, she panics more as she yelps, "No no no!!! S-she began thanking me for stopping her from killing Ravemon!"

Mei is finally showing emotion, though, so Jellymon just hugs her super awkwardly, staying like that for a good while.

Let's check on the boys, then.

"GAMMAMON, GET DOWN FROM THERE!!!"

Once again, Bokomon and Pumpmon are eating popcorn.

"No!" He is playing on the ceiling fan, pouting at his brother as Hiro gives him a frown before looking at Kiyoshiro, "UGH SENPAI HELP ME OUT HERE!!"

Kiyoshiro has passed out again. Angoramon looks up from his book, as Hiro is looking exasperated again. Seeing this, Angoramon goes over to Gammamon and grabs him.

"Noooo!! I wanna play with it a bit more!"

"Not on that. You'll make Hiro sad."

"Oh..." He climbs onto Hiro, realising how worried his brother had been. "Sorry...'

Hiro smiles and hugs him as he says, "No worries."

He nuzzles him while Gulus snorts from inside Hiro's Digivice, "He is still a kid huh?"

"Some things never change," Angoramon chuckles

"True," Bokomon pats him as he agrees. His memories are not fully back but making new ones with them is nice.

"How about a movie?" Pumpmon suggests.

"Movie! Movie!!" Gammamon cheers.

With that, the boys watch a robot mech movie. Everyone gets excited since the storyline is really good!

Meanwhile, the girls are having a girls' night too. Jellymon is laughing at the comedy story Ruri had picked. Mei is getting her hair braided by Ruli while Lowellmon is reading her book, having digivolved after the spa. They're definitely having fun!

Mei then gets an idea, realizing how to make things more fun as she smirks, "Get the boys."

"Are we giving them makeovers??" Jellymon teases.

"N-no!!!" Lowellmon has seen enough make-up for one lifetime. She shivers at the mere mention of it.

"Truth, Dare or Secret," Mei smiles.

"YES!!!" Ruri smirks.

And so everyone is in Eos' room because at the end of the day everyone wants to see it.

Mei explains the game to the others, and they grin at this.

Mei marks sticks with numbers and a crown. Whoever holds a stick with the crown, named the king, must pick a number between 1-10. The person chosen must then be asked to tell a truth or a secret. If they refuse, they must complete a dare of the king's choice.

"This is going to be fun~" Jellymon cackles.

Mei throws the sticks in the air, and everyone grabs one

"Who got the king?" Hiro asks while turning his stick.

"HOW IS MY LUCK THIS BAD!?" Eos stares at theirs. A crown could be seen on their stick.

"Are you the king?" Mei asks.

They nod.

"Then who shall you pick?" Mei asks, hiding her number. She cares for these guys, but she is NOT about to let them make her confess something or do something stupid.

"5!"

Lowellmon gulps, looking down at her stick with the number 5 written on it.

"Welp, this is going to be interesting."

"Leaving means the person gets flicked on the forehead," Mei informs with a grin, proving that Lowellmon has no way out of this.

"By who?" Bakumon asks.

"All other players. If you get 3 flicks in a row, you must sit out the winner's choice of the next activity," Mei tells him.

"That sounds painful," Hiro mutters.

"It is," Mei sighs. "Okay, Eos. What shall you pick for Lowellmon? Truth, Dare, or Secret?"

"Truth," They say.

"....A random one or a certain one?" She asks.

"Random."

"I watch you all sleep," the former Sin Code Digimon suddenly blurts out.

What the... Even Mei is creeped out as everyone looks at her.

"You WHAT," Hiro stares.

"Once a week, I go into one of your homes and watch you sleep," she repeats.

"That is not okay..." Kiyo is really scared

"Is it because you worry?" Hiro tries to make sense of it.

"No. I just like doing it," Lowellmon smiles creepily as she says this. "You all are very, very precious to me after all."

"..." Everyone shuffles away slightly, a bit scared.

"Only dares for you from now on," Mei glares.

Eos nods, clearly a bit worried.

The sticks get thrown in the air and this time Kiyo gets the King role.

"YES!! I choose number 3!" he grins.

Mei reveals that it's her, which intrigues everyone. What kind of secrets does she have?

"Secret!" Kiyoshiro says.

"Like what?"

"Anything we don't know yet!" He insists.

"I never did explain my fear of plushies, did I?"

"Yeah," Hiro nods, curious. She has always been scared of Monzaemon for some reason. What could the reason be?

"When I was seven, I had one of those talking Kuma bears. One day, during a lightning storm, my kuma doll said something creepy," Mei inhales.

"What did it say?" Eos asks.

Again, she inhales, but she quotes the whole song, singing it out, "Hush little Mei don't you cry~ I'm gonna sew buttons in your eyes~ If you try to run away, I'll snitch your mouth and eat them for lunch today~ If you dare try to cry, I'll cover your mouth tight so you suffocate and DIE~"

"WHAT?!" Everyone is downright shocked.

Mei nods, shivering as well before she continues, "I flushed all my plushies down the toilet the next day. Ever since then, I have feared plushies."

"That is scary," Kiyoshiro is terrified.

"Yup," she agrees.

"Someday, we'll flush that spirit away," Ruri says.

"Thanks," she smiles faintly at this.

"No problem," They all give her a grin.

The new king is Hiro.

"Well, what's your choice?" Bokomon asks.

"2."

"Welp," Bakumon raises his stick. It's 2.

"Truth, Secret, or Dare."

"Dare!" he challenges.

"I dare you to go into WrathIramon's dream," Hiro smirks.

He blinks, "WHAT?!"

"You heard me. Unless you're scared," Hiro taunts.

"Hiro, I didn't expect that of all things," Eos snorts.

"F-Fine!" he nods.

All of them then turn to Lowellmon. It is the person who shares a body with her.

"Can we do that?" Bokomon asks.

"WrathIramon lives with Mummymon now. I used Asenamon's wish to give her a body of her own– Should I have told you guys?" Lowellmon answers as she realises their faces have gone slack with shock.

WHHHHHAAAAATTT?!!

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HER A WELCOME PRESENT!!!!!" Eos protests.

"She only lets me and Abi get close to her. She refuses anyone else. She became Mummymon's new assistant about 6 months ago." SIX MONTHS?!

Mei looks as shocked as the others. Clearly, she hasn't been told.

"WHATTTTT??!!!!" Everyone stares at her.

"Why was I never told?" Mei looks like she is ready to snap but remains calm somehow.

"Why was NO ONE told?" Pumpmon asks.

"I told Abi..."

"Yet not me," Mei glares. "Bakumon, do the dare."

"W-What? How?"

"Go to the hospital."

"But that's-"

"I'll send an email to Mummymon," Eos gets their phone out.

At the hospital:

WrathIramon helps with some files

A message comes in.

"Hm?" She clicks on the email and reads it. "Abi, you got mail. They found out. I knew sis couldn't keep it a secret"

He sighs, "I am not surprised."

Bakumon pokes his head out of the email and gives her sleeping gas to knock her out.

WrathIramon falls to the floor, passing out.

"WRATHIRAMON!" Mummymon panics, which is Bakumon's cue to enter her dreams.

In her dreams, Bakumon looks around. He's in a field of red flowers and black grass. Two Wulfmon are sleeping close by.

"Awww."

One is grey, the other is black with red scars. The black one keeps the smaller one safe and warm.

He smiles at this.

The bigger one suddenly wakes up and growls at him once she sees him.

"Woah woah!" he backs off.

"Grrrr!"

The younger one cries from being woken up, which makes him panic and try to sing a small lullaby.

The little one stops crying, thankfully, and he sighs in relief. Soon, the two go back to sleep.

He chuckles and leaves before floating into Mummymon's laptop and sending himself back.

WrathIramon then wakes up in her Wulfmon form. "Huh– OH COME ON!!"

The kids applaud him upon his return, but he makes a beeline for Bokomon, sobbing, "it was scary!!"

Just then, Eos gets a message back with the email, and they blink as they read it.

Wulfmon W comes out and attacks Bakumon before dragging him back to the hospital.

Mei looks done, although a tiny bit regretful, "Next round?"

They nod. The show must go on, after all.

"May Bakumon rest in peace. We will leave your favourite food with you," Eos solemnly says.

This time, Angoramon is the king. He hums before saying, "I choose... number 3."

It's Gammamon.

"Truth, Secret, or Dare?"

"Dare!"

"I dare you to not eat chocolate for 3 rounds!"

He tears up, "No champions?"

"M-Maybe just for one round...."

"Ok..."

He sighs in relief. He can already see Hiro glaring holes into him as if making Gammamon cry would be his death wish. Probably will be.

The next king is Hiro, and they all give him a look of fear.

"One," He smirks.

Eos pales like a ghost.

Mei sighs. This is not going to end well.

"Oh, Kami-sama, save me from Amanokawa Hiro-sama," Eos begs, repeating what Hiro's boyfriend usually says.

"Should any player interfere, they are forced to spend the remainder of the game in maid outfits," Mei cuts in.

"WHAT?!"

Hiro then lets out a quiet but mad cackle, "Oh Makuaaaa~~~~ Truth~ Secret~ Or DARE~~~~"

Lowellmon eats chips at this. Good entertainment.

"S-secret."

They all look at Hiro in fear again.

"A random one," he simply says while sipping tea.

They all look at Eos again, which makes them look away. What will their secret be?

"..... I play with dolls!!" They blurt out.

"Ohm I knew that," Mei sips her tea.

"Y-YOU WHAT?!"

"Oh, is that why you pierced your ears with doll earrings?" Hiro asks.

They blush but nod.

"Eos...I know all your information. You know me. Who helps you at times when needed?"

"True."

"Next round."

They nod. This time it's Ruri.

They wait for her choice.

"Ten!"

Jellymon is her victim.

She smirks. Oh dear...

"Oh Jellymon, truth, secret or dare? "

Jellymon gulps, "Dare."

"I dare you to stay in jelly form for the entire night!!!"

"Hah! That's easy!" She boasts.

She smirks.

"What?"

"Nothing!"

Jellymon goes into jelly form, still confused about how this was meant to be hard.

The others laugh before they choose the next king.

The next king is Pumpmon.

Boko is his victim. He laughs.

"What shall I do?" Bokomon asks

"Truth, Secret or Dare!" he cheerfully asks.

"Truth!"

"What was it like with Eos before I came back?" he asks curiously.

"Oh yeah, how were they?" Ruli asks.

"They were... difficult. After I met you all in the library again, I kept on asking them if I could meet up with you, but they refused, saying that they didn't deserve to be around you after what they did. I believe they were worried that I would face the same fate as Pumpmon, yet it was never the case."

Lowellmon looks down, "Oh...." She obviously thinks that it was her Sin Code that led to Pump's death...

"It was only after we got increasingly involved with you, especially when I managed to evolve into Wisemon during my battle with Kiyo, that they managed to loosen up, and I saw their vulnerable side," he chuckles. "At the end of the day, your personalities being rewritten was a savior in disguise. It spurred them into action at long last."

Mei remembers that which makes her scowl, "Remind me to punch Blues."

"For that and the love potion he put Angoramon under," Hiro nods. 

"We do need to thank Koutarou for telling us about Majiramon's death being faked and Hiro lying about his wellbeing too," Kiyoshiro adds.

"Do we need to mention them?" Mei seems upset about the topic. It is still sensitive, considering they had caused her partner to be deleted.

"Sorry," The two apologise.

"Alright, let's move on," Eos says.

Lowellmon becomes the King.

"What number?" Hiro asks.

"7."

Kiyoshiro stares in fear. His stick has 7 written in bold.

"Truth, Secret, or Dare," Lowellmon says.

"T-Truth?"

"Why do you wear the bandages?"

"B-Because it holds my full power back!"

".........Come again?" Everyone facepalms.

Lowellmon really wishes she picked dare now.

Hiro snorts.

The next king is Hiro.

"AGAIN!?" Everyone is terrified. After the WrathIramon dare, who would be unlucky enough?

Mei just shrugs. It doesn't change that Hiro is still a baby to her. A trouble magnet one too.

"2!"

Mei sighs. Thought too soon. "Me."

"Truth, Secret, or Dare?"

"You may pick."

"Secret!"

"Like what?"

"Anything?" He guesses.

"........Okay then. Every year, I go to the amusement park where my brothers died and sing Moon River to them."

"....." Everyone goes quiet. That is... sorta sad.

Mei under no circumstances will reveal her identity as the Sun Novelist. NEVER! She'll take it to the grave!

Next Round, Eos is King.

"8!"

Ruri gets hit this time.

"Ruri, Truth, Secret or Dare!"

"Dare!"

"I dare you to listen to classical music for a minute."

"Okay!" She literally plays it without hesitation.

They pout.

Ruli is the next king.

"4!"

Lowellmon is her victim.

"Yes!"

"Hm?"

"Truth, Secret or Dare!"

".....Dare."

"I dare you to pose for pictures!" she grins. "With ANGORAMON!"

".....What?!"

She grins.

Lowellmon is all red. So is Angoramon, and he makes it known by yelping, "Why Ruri why!??!"

She shrugs.

Lowellmon sighs, "Okay, fine!"

Ruri grins and soon the two pose for pictures with VERY RED FACES.

Mei laughs. The others chortle at this.

The next king is Gammamon.

"Yay! Five!"

Bokomon is chosen this time.

"Truth, Secret or Dare!"

"Secret!"

"Random secret! Something not even Eos or Pump know!"

"Hmmm..."

They wait.

"I watch Ghost Whisper."

"AWW!!!!"

He blushes, which makes them all laugh. Who knew Bokomon could like such a drama?

Still, they move on. Jellymon is the next king and she smirks.

"Who's 7?"

Hiro raises his hand. Finally!

"Truth, Secret or Dare!"

"Truth!"

"I truthfully ask that you pick dare."

"Why?"

"You have to."

He shrugs, "Sure."

Perfect chance to get back at him! "I dare you to call your boyfriend on video chat in a dress while flirting with him!"

"W-What?!" He gapes.

Ruri giggles while holding up a frilly pink dress.

The others snicker.

"Serves you right!~" Eos smirks.

Hiro blushes but heads into his room to change.

Lowellmon wonders where they were hiding the dress in the first place.

"I always have one dress for the boys to wear," Ruri answers Lowellmon with a laugh.

Mei chuckles, but Hiro soon comes out and... Well...

"What the actual...." Ruri is stunned.

Hiro is wearing the dress, but he also has some ribbons tied to his hair.

Mei takes a photo, unable to speak yet also very very giddy about this. Hiro blushes.

"YOU LOOK SO GOOD HIRO!!! WHAT THE HECK WHERE DID YOU EVEN GET THE RIBBONS?!" Eos is stunned to bits. Not even they can pull that off!

Lowellmon gasps, "Cute!!"

He is blushing, but says, "A-After the Gluttony arc, I began to see myself as more of nonbinary, to be honest."

"Demiboy? So you're in between male and nonbinary?" Eos asks.

He nods.

"Are you in make-up?" Mei then asks.

He nods with a redder face than before. Light eye shadow and eyeliner can be seen on his eyelids, while some lipstick has also been applied.

"If you identify as a female a bit too, then the right word is androgynous, Hiro," Eos informs him. "But it's okay if you don't feel like you are that. Finding the right identity takes time."

Mei agrees, "Still a trouble magnet, no matter what."

He blushes so hard at that. It's not his fault he keeps on getting into trouble!

"But enough about that, let's move on with the next part of the dare," Jellymon giggles.

All the girls giggle at that, and the others snort.

Hiro is so red. "Mei, are you actually having fun with this!?"

"A bit," She admits. "I think ever since the Envy month, I've been trying to socialize and be more human."

"That does make sense. You got over the one hurdle pushing you back all this time," Bokomon smiles.

"Yup. May my brothers rest in peace."

They all nod solemnly.

"Now, call your BF and finish the dare," Mei chuckles evilly.

He flushes but nods as he calls Koutarou.

"Hey, Hihi!" Koutarou picks up as he is carrying NamaBushomon on his back in his dorm.

"Hey Kou~" He blushes.

"What's up?" he asks while opening a new game he had gotten.

"You're really hot."

"H-HUH?! H-Hiro-sama?!" Koutarou is red. What is this?!

NamaBushomon laughs, "Smoooooooooooooth."

"NAMA NO S-SHUT UP!"

"Aww, getting all red? Is that your love for me, babe?"

"W-WHATTTTTT?!" He is soooooo red.

Kiyoshiro is screaming into a pillow to avoid giving context to Koutarou.

"D-DID A DIGIMON POSSESS YOU!?" he is panicking now. "I thought you were with the others- H-Hold on... H-HIRO-SAMA WHY ARE YOU WEARING A DRESS!!?!!?!?!??!!!?"

He can be heard by the entire dorm, and some people seem curious.

He pales and hangs up.

"H-HIRO-SAMA-" He faints due to too much cuteness.

Bokomon whistles as he takes a picture and sends it to Koutarou.

"Best dare ever," Lowell chuckles.

"MORE CHAOS MUST BE DONE MUAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!" Pumpmon cackles, while Hiro has covered his face due to how embarrassed he is.

The next king is Angoramon, and he says, "Number 2!"

Lowellmon gulps at this. Her stick has the number 2 written on it.

Hiro heads out to change back while the others lean in.

Lowellmon is scared of their smirks. Clearly, they expect a lot.

"Truth, Secret or Dare!"

"....Dare."

"I dare you to... to rest for this round," Angoramon hesitates. This is his wife. Can he actually make her do something bad?

"ANGORAMON, THAT IS NOT A DARE! PICK A REAL ONE!" Jellymon demands.

"B-But-"

"Angoramon. Pick. a. Dare," Suddenly Hiro is behind him and scares the LIVING HECK out of him.

Lowellmon gets more scared. Hiro has a creepy smile on his face.

He inhales, and says eventually, "I-I dare you to dance freestyle for a minute."

"A stronger dare," Mei insists, but then smirks as she offers, "I could always pick it for you."

"N-NO!" Hoshi Mei is NOTORIOUS for her dares.

"Then pick a good one." They all stare at him.

"E-Erm..." he looks hesitant.

"5...4...3...2..-" Mei counts down.

"F-Fine! I dare you to prank call Ryubo!" He yells out the first thing that pops into his mind.

"........What's a prank call?"

"It's when you call someone and pretend to be someone else," Bokomon explains to Shiramon.

"Can I get another dare?" she asks.

"E-erm..." Angoramon is now speechless.

Mei decides to take over, smirking evilly as she says, "I dare you and Angoramon to watch Ponyo non-stop for the rest of the night."

"NONONONONO!! THE BABIES LOVE THAT MOVIE! I CAN'T WATCH IT AGAIN. NOT AGAIN! I RATHER FIGHT THANOS!!" Lowellmon begs.

"What's that?" he's confused.

"Only the best anime movie of all time!" Mei smiles more at Lowellmon as she sobs on the floor.

"What the heck?" Hiro is confused as he sits down again. He did not expect that.

"She's seen it 129 times and can't stand it anymore," She whispers to Hiro.

"So you're trying to make it 130 times?" he snorts.

"Yup." Mei nods.

Hiro laughs. Ingenious, really. Only Mei can think up something like that.

Lowell is already sobbing as the movie plays while Angoramon leans in.

As they watch, he realizes it is actually not a bad movie. He hums, why does Shiramon hate it so much then?

The main character has been trapped in a bubble.

He blinks. ...Oh. Lowellmon hides her face in his fluff, so he hugs her.

The next round is now all secrets.

"W-WHAT!?" Everyone is shocked.

Mei is ready, as always. They share a glance but prepare themselves as the sticks are thrown.

Mei gets to be the King this time.

"OH NO-" Hiro pales.

Mei smirks, "Oh who do I pick~"

They all gulp.

"Number 1!"

Pumpmon shakily raises his hand.

"Secret?"

"I-I... sometimes go to the hospital where I used to play..." he mumbles quietly.

​"Why?"

"Cause... I miss them." he looks away. "And sometimes I-I... I see their deaths in my mind..."

Eos hugs Pumpmon quietly. They remember how they met Pumpmon; lost, all alone, having had most of his friends brutally murdered because of him.

".......One survived," Lowellmon sighs.

"W-WAIT WHAT?!" everyone stares. HOW?!

"I went back a week after and found one Ekakimon survived. He lost his memory from shock. Now he goes by Sketch and is in my sister's care. Sketch seems uncomfortable about regaining his memories."

"Oh..."

"I could introduce you," She offers.

He shakes his head. "Ekaki is happy now right?"

"........No... All he wants is to remember but...." Lowellmon sighs. "I'll tell you afterwards."

"Okay..."

Mei becomes the king again, and so she decides to make this round funny to lighten the atmosphere. "Number 7."

Kiyoshiro pales.

"Secret."

"I-I..."

"Yes?"

"I moved back to Japan because I wanted to be a dorm leader?" he offers.

"We all knew that."

"E-erm..."

"5...4..3...2..-"

"I-I cover my hand to look cool!!!" he blushes.

"Also know that."

"W-WHAT?!" He is so embarrassed now.

"A good secret."

"W-WHAT ELSE IS THERE!?" Truly an expert information gatherer.

"How about something about you and Jellymon?"

"W-WHAT?!"

"5...4...3...2...1-"

"AH FINE!!! JELLYMON-SAMA GOT ME INTO GAY STORIES!!!!"

"Interesting."

He blushes.

"DARLINGG!!!!" Jellymon can't really be mad at him, though. She understands.

Mei becomes King again.

"Is this thing rigged?" Hiro stares at the sticks.

"3," Mei ignores his question.

Ruri raises her hand.

"Secret."

"I... I kinda like both guys and girls?" she blushes.

"I knew it!" Mei smirks

"YOU DID!? HOW!?"

Mei gives a "Do you really have to ask?" look.

"... Right. But I only figured it out like a week ago!"

"I see what others can't right away," Mei smiles. After another throw, she is the king again.

"GAH!!! WHO RIGGED THIS THING!?" Eos demands.

"It's not. I choose 4," Mei smiles.

"NO," Jellymon refuses.

"No?" Mei seems a bit displeased. "You sure?"

She gulps.

"Secret?"

She thinks about it.

"5...4....3...2-"

"AH FINE DARLING MADE ME WATCH MAGICAL GIRL ANIMES WITH HIM!!"

"Do you have a thing for magical girls? You kind of look like one," Ruli asks her.

She blushes, "O-Of course not!!!'

Mei is the next king and the others are getting pretty annoyed. Even Lowellmon.

"9."

This time, it's Angoramon.

"Secret."

"I... I sometimes read comics and most of my quotes come from my books."

Mei gives him the "Knew already" look.

"I want a true secret. Hmmmm, did you like kissing WrathIramon that one time?" HOW?!

"AHHHHHH!!!" He buries his head into a pillow.

"You kissed MY SISTER OR ME BEING PUPPETED?" Lowell tears up and demands to know.

"i-it was a dare!!!"

"Dare?!"

Jellymon pales. Hopefully, she NEVER finds out it's her...

Then, it's the last round. Mei isn't the king but the king has seen her number.

The person smirks. Payback time!

"Number 5!"

Mei looks up.

​​"FINALLY!!!" Jellymon cheers.

You can JUST SEE THE SMIRK on Hiro's face.

Mei is calm on this.

"I dare you to choose your favorite baby! Only one! And no, Wulfmon does NOT count!"

"You, Hiro," She smirks, turning the tables in a second. "After all, you never said baby Digimon."

"E-EXCUSE ME?!" he blushes. "I AM THIRTEEN, NOT A BABY!!!"

"Yet you throw a tantrum," She points out, making him go red. She has a point and it's embarrassing.

Mei laughs and the others snort. On the bright side, the game is over. Finally!!!

Lowell has passed out the moment Hiro asked, so the others smile as they take her back to her room before turning in for some rest. They have gone through many difficulties, yet they have come out on top. They're really glad about that.

They are family now, after all.

The end

(Angoramon kept watching Ponyo though, which Shiramon blames Mei for, much to everyone's amusement.)
