Takato x Renamon B1 Ch7

Chapter 7:
Day at the park

It has been shortly two weeks since Takato and Renamon had their shopping spree and the unofficial leader of the team wanted to keep the ball rolling, but he had hit a snag… "What am I supposed to do now?"  He asked himself while watching an episode of Robocop Alpha Commando thanks to Hulu.  Just when the metal man unveiled a battle-armor ability did an Instant Message appear on his computer.

'Come up with anything, Takato?'  Henry's message asked him since the logical one along with the others knew that Takato was good at asking her out and thinking of the big picture, but he had no clue of the little steps in between, so that's when the others came into play.

'No, nothing.  It was Mrs. Nonaka that came up with the shopping thing.'  He answered back before tuning back to his video.  As soon as it showed the hero in the whole battle-armor a new message appeared before him.

'With the way things are going so well, you might as well type: mother in law.'  Ryo said through message mode.  Takato and the others all had alias' when it came to the web, but they all knew who they were typing to since they all typed as they spoke.

'Let's not jump the gun there, Ryo.  I want to have things go as smooth as possible.'  Takato said back since he did not want to type anything that he may regret.  'Still lets get back to Henry's question I need an option on what to do, and I need it now.'  The goggle head said to them and then waited for an answer.

'Well, how about an Anime Convention.  Ever since we took on the D-Reaper everybody who's anybody has dressed up like a Digimon.'  Kazu said to the 'leader' since he was planning on going to it with Alice, and he believed in the more the merrier.

'Oh, sure going to a place where people as old as we are now pretending to be someone they're not will go over great with Renamon.  I don't think so.'  Matsuki typed back and as soon as that statement was sent he added one other.  'Does anybody else have any ideas?'  Again the beginner at dating sat there and waited for an answer.

'Maybe…I don't know.  An amusement park…maybe.'  Kenta typed fifteen minutes after his best friend gave it a try.  The glasses hero was stuttering on his transmision because he did not want to give the beginner a bad idea.

"That does sound promising, and she could wear those street clothes we got the day before."  The heir of baking said to himself before typing on his computer:

'Sounds like a plan.  I just hope that nothing will go terribly wrong while we're out.'  His meaning gave one of them a bad idea, but someone else thought otherwise.

"Not a bad idea."  A person said aloud at their home after reading the statement and decided on what to do before answering back:

'You should really consider doing just that, but how about you call her yourself.'  The message said, and that alone made him feel seriously nervous.

'I will try.  Talk to you guys later.'  He typed to all before signing off of his Instant Messenger.  The tamer than watched the rest of that hour long episode and then glanced over to his cell phone.  'Can I do it?'  He thought as he looked at the average black flip phone.

'What's wrong with you?  Chickening out just after two…no, I mean one encounter with her outside the battlefield.'  The little voice in Takato said to the rest of him in an angered tone.

'No, of course not.'  The rest of his guy mind thought back in anger.  Ticked that his lighter side would ever think that of him.

'Then what are you waiting for - you…and the others, defeated the D-Reaper, so why can't you call her just as you do to the rest of the team.'  The boy's other half thought to the rest.

'Y--you're right…I can do this.'  Takato thought with semi-confidence as his body reached for the cell beside him.  "I hope."  He muttered after flipping it open and punching in the number.  At this same time Rumiko was wondering the same thing that very moment.

'That one on one time shopping was good, and my yellow furred daughter did get some very beautiful outfits, but I know that there is something else I can try.'  She thought while in the kitchen.  The model was about to put in a ready made pizza in the oven until she heard the phone began to ring.  'That must be my unofficial partner in match making.'  The second of the Nonakas thought before heading to the hall phone.  She was almost there, but she had to stop since someone else did the honor.

"Hello, Nonaka Residence, Seiko Hata: speaking."  The mother of the mother of the tamer said into the phone politely.  After hearing the voice she continued with, "Oh, why hello, Takato."  After hearing the possitive next member of the family's name being said the mother of the tamer stayed close to the wall, so she could eavsdrop better.

"Yes, Mrs. Hata, can I speak to Renamon for a few moments."  He said back to her on his end.  In truth the moment that sentence exited his mouth the boy felt very nervous at what was said next.

"Of course, Takato.  Could you hold on for a moment."  The elder woman said into the phone.  "Renamon, you have a phone call."  She called out since the female knew that due to her canine abilites, and Digimon nature she heard her no matter where she was.

"Thank you, Seiko."  The vixen said after appearing before the human.  The furred female graciacly took the phone, and put it up to her face.  "Hello?"  She questioned into the reciever.

"Yeah, Hi, Renamon."  Takato began and could have sworn he heard a gasp of surprise, but he continued just the same.  "I was wondering if you would be interested in going to the amusement park with me?"  He questioned to her in a shy yet somewhat forward sort of way.

"I suppose Takato, but are you sure that we should?"  She questioned back; not knowing that her 'mother' was still listening in.

"What do you mean?"  He asked back to her, and she could tell that he was worried that he had already blew it with her just for offering such a thing.

"It's not you're idea, Takato.  I really would love to go with you, but don't you think that my Digimon skill level would make it fair game for those around us?"  She questioned and heard the male on the other end breath a great sigh of relief.

"Maybe it would be, but I constantly hear that those games are rigged so it's cool."  He said back to her with a happy tone of voice.  The two stayed on the line in pure awkward silence until the boy half of the relationship spoke out.  "Well…if we have nothing left to say then maybe I should just…"  He stuttered out, but was stopped by a simple question.

"When are we going to do this?"  The fox creature questioned to her human since he asked the what, but never informed on the when.

"I'm not sure.  I guess: 6:30 would be good."  He suggested to her while cursing himself for still forgetting about setting a time.  After he said that he waited for an answer from the canine.

"That sounds like a good time, Takato.  So, I'll see you here."  She said to her…friend.  The duo then officially hung up before just staring at their phones over what had just happened.

'They actually set up their own date without be getting involved.'  The blonde woman thought while deciding to call the bakery's phone number with her cell.

"Hello, Matsuki Bakery, Mei Matsuki speaking.  What can I get for you?"  The mother of the child that is Renamon's companion spoke into the phone before either male could.

"Maybe you're finest date bread."  The fellow mother said on her end, praying that the other would catch her small play on words.

"You're in luck we do have da--te bread."  The other mother stuttered on one word since she had just gotten what the other was getting at.  "They actually made one on their own?"  She questioned after getting her voice back.

"Yes, yes they did, and they chose the amusement park."  Rumiko said back to Mei sounding mighty proud over what had just happened between their two children.  The female member of the bakery family only smiled at what was said, and was glad that her son was showing dedication to this situation.

"Now that's a classic."  The on the fence woman said and recalled the first time Takehiro and herself had done that same thing.  "I'm sure that this will help, and I know that my son has been begging me on how he should use his new Sole Skate."  The baker's wife said and that as she remembered how excited her boy was when he first bought the device in question.

"I know what your talking about, and that would be an amusing and touching sight of those two going from place to place on that thing."  The model mother answered back while thinking how that would actually look.

"You're right about that.  Oh, wait, I think I hear him coming: call you later."  Mei said in a rushed tone before hanging up to see her son running to the front door with the spoken of device in hand.

"I'm going to the amusement park with the guys I'll be back later."  He shouted while opening the door, and running off.  Unknown to him was that his mother saw it and even had a semi-smile on her face.

"Are you alright, hon?"  Takehiro questioned after taking a small amount of bread from the oven and saw that his beloved seemed to be smiling about something.

"I am just grateful that our son is getting some fresh air after being in his room all this time today."  She answered back while getting to work; fearing that she had been exposed that she was for this instead of being against it or at least on the fence.

"Yeah, it is, but you can't really blame him.  After all the best cartoons are that from the past even though that some of these modern shows aren't half bad, but I'll stick with the old ones."  He informed her before going back to work.  As he went back to piling up their supply for the morning rush the wife could only smile at what her husband said.

'I sure hope that Renamon can handle our family's tradition of classics loving.'  She thought before starting to make up some bread.
'Hey, this isn't so bad.'  Takato thought as he was using his board to get to the chosen location.  'This may be fairly new, but I already know how to use it, and I owe that much to Grani.'  He thought knowing that is why he modeled his red and added blue eye decal.  Thanks to the smooth ride that was the Sole Skate he got to the house in question without problem.

"It is good that you did not fall into the trashcans this time, Takato, but why are you here this soon?"  Renamon questioned after watching him slow to a stop right in front of the doors that she was standing on.

"It's not really that early it's only 5:58."  He said back to her, and then added, "But I don't think that this board was designed for more than one person."  The vixen saw his embarrassment, and then appeared to his left.

"Then I guess I'll have to carry you."  She said after arriving to his side which caused him to trip on his own board.

"Now I know that you really did do this trick back then just to scare us."  He said after landing on the ground: spine first.  It wasn't until he landed that he realized that Renamon was wearing one of the outfits that she picked: the black shirted outfit.

"She really does look great."  He muttered to himself forgetting for an instant that she had keener hearing than the humans that he had met.

"Why thank you, Takato."  She said back before offering her hand out to help him to his feet which he accepted.  "Our little talk probably set us back."  She informed him causing him to check the time on his wristwatch.

"Oh, man we got to motor."  He said in a hurry, and that was when himself being lifted by the fuzzy digits again - up until he was on her back.

"Hold on tight."  She instructed, and before he could object she started leaping to and fro to get to their destination.  Within ten or fewer minutes the two of them landed right in front of the amusement park.

'How did she do that?'  He thought while getting off her back and feeling around to make sure that his body wasn't missing anything which it wasn't.

"You seem shocked, my love."  The fox female said while whispering the last part.  He turned to her with a hanging jaw of surprise, but not because of what she may have said, but because of:

"How could you still be that fast?"  He questioned to her, and prayed that the fighter would not take it the wrong way.

"A little after we shopped I tested to see if I could still move like I usually do with them on, and as you can see = I do."  The vixen explained to him and her only reply was a slow nod.  "Now…shall we go."  The female said causing him to shake off his stunned look and follow her.

"Two tickets, please?"  The youngest Matsuki requested to the ticket handler.  After the exchange the duo went inside of the park, but the main obstacle was to find out what were they going to do first.  Aside from vast thrill rides there were also conventional carnival themed games.

"Let's see if these rides of theirs can actually scar a tamer and a Digimon."  The digital dame commented while heading for a rollercoaster that had plenty of twists and turns on it.

"I doubt it, but sure."  The human answered back to her before getting in line for the ride.  As the others on the small train were screaming out of excitement Renamon and Takato were laughing about the whole thing since their scar tactics were so funny.

"That was amusing."  The fighter commented after they exited the ride.  She and her friend looked around to what they were going to do next.  The two of them tried everything possible a few more thrill rides - no affect, and of course they ate.

"I bet this is your first time eating Cotton Candy?"  Takato questioned before slamming his jaws into a soft pretzel.

"How can you tell?"  She questioned with pink goo in her fur.  At first she received a chuckle and then he reached over and slid his index and middle finger around the mound of pink; gently taking it away.

"You had all of this around your mouth."  He pointed out before putting on his pretzel and eating.  For an instant a part of the fox's mind took that moment in a different sort.

'You know you like that image.'  Her inner voice thought after providing the strange image.

'No, no I didn't.'  She thought back before returning to reality.  The boy was a little concerned over what he saw on her face.

"You okay, Renamon?"  He questioned to her causing her to look at him, and when she did the canine saw a look of concern, but she knew how to handle that.

"I'm alright Takato.  I was just…thinking."  She answered to him.  The two finished their snacks and wondered into a gaming section of the amusement park.  "Perhaps we should play some of these games."  She offered to him.

"Sounds good to me."  He answered back and they did just that.  With Takato's luck and Renamon's skill level they cleared a lot of games, but for the first few stands they mainly got new cards for Duel Monsters and for Chaotic.

"Here you go, Takato."  His digital date said as she handed her comapanion a new Chaotic card - Kinnianne the heir to the Mepedians.

Thanks, my fantastic fox."  He whispered into her ear while taking the card.  Those were from the latest games, but as they went deeper they saw older ones, but more modern plushies.  "Please, let me win you something."  He offered as he approached the High Striker game.

"Give it a shot, son."  A somewhat elderly man said as he handed the young man a mallet.

'Here goes nothing.'  He thought before slamming the base as hard as he could.  Thanks to his off time of body building he was able to ring the bell.  According to regulation the tamer was able to claim a prize.  'Which one?'  He thought as he looked at the selection, and for some reason the duelist was interested in the…Raphael plushie.

"Thank you, Takato."  The vulpine said after he handed her to doll over to her.  She then went to a different game, one known as - Ring Toss.  She had heard from her partner that this game was rigged, but she did not believe that until she attempted it herself.  "That was easy."  The canine crusader said after using all of the rings on one prize - a Colleen from Road Rovers plushie.  This carried on of four more games: Takato to Milk Bottles (which all fell down since he could tap into berserker mode without losing himself) and won a Chris Thorndyke plushie.

'Didn't know that I could do such a thing for three full times.'  The human thought before being handed a Rouge the Bat plushie after Renamon won at - Balloon and Dart.  He returned the favor with a Donkey plushie after winning at Ball and Basket.  Renamon repaid him with a Dragon plushie after clearing a Rope Ladder Climb game.

"This is all well and good, but perhaps we should get going."  Renamon suggested after giving him the Dragon.  There was a part of her that was foolishly nervous of her lover with those three: it was not because of perverted-ness; she knew that he wasn't that kind of man it was the fear if those three beasts were real would they go after Takato?

"Yeah, I guess so.  I mean the sun is going…down."  The male dater said and that is when idea hit him.  "Think we could go on one last ride with me?"  He offered while thumbing over to the Ferris Wheel.

"I suppose, but only one turn."  She said to him while stressing her point with a single paw finger.  'Ease back of that thinking while you're with him; he may think you are weird, and besides if they were real I am sure that he would be concerned just like me.'  She thought while glancing at her Ash plush as they headed for the wheel.  Unknown to them was that there was a big guy hidden in the shadows.

'What do you know: he was right.'  The man thought as he followed them to their final ride.  He watched as the got a board one of the various two seated baskets, and up they went.

"It isn't half bad up here, Takato."  The vulpine said as she watched the sunset over the city.  He nodded in agreement, and that was when he felt her nessle onto his shoulder.  "I kind of like it up here - without the use of my armor."  She muttered with her eyes still on the sight.

"Yeah, I know the feeling."  He said back, and when the cart came back down the boy offered to go another round.  His offer was aggred to and they went back up.

'Now's the time.'  The big guy thought before going to work with his partner's plan.  The two of them made it to the top of the circle and by that time of day it was now night fall.

"Hey, what was that for?"  Takato demanded due to the shake, unknown to was that he started the almost asleep date.

"What?  What is it, Takato?"  She questioned with alarm before she heard some noise down below.

"We don't know how, but there seems to be claw marks on the main engeine."  The operator said as he and several others saw that there were DEEP claw marks on said device.  Renamon loked up from her spot and saw a familiar figure flying away.

'So, it was you, Cyberdramon.'  She thought as she watched the winged Ultimate fly off.  After she spotted him another voice was heard, but thanks to the use of a bullhorn Takato and the others heard him.

"We apologize to you all, but due to things beyond our control we regret to inform you that the Ferris Wheel in inoperable, but don't worry we have called the Fire Department, and they will come for you with a Cherry picker."  The manager warned them which ended in a mess of complaining.

"Guess we're stuck here for a while."  He informed his friend before relaxing in his chair.

"Yes, I guess we do."  She answered back and went back to relaxing on his shoulder.  'And I have Ryo to thank for this special moment.'  She thought while in that pose.  The two of them just stayed there: enjoying the scene above them and the company around them.  After an hour and a half of staying like that the female was getting anxtious from all of the waiting.  "Don't you think we should leave before the next morning?"  She questioned to the patient human.

"I'm not really sure.  I don't want to worry the authorities, but I don't want to stay here."  Takato said back to his date.  She knew that he concerned himself with authorizes and waisting their time, but there was one other thing that she knew of him.

"Do you still carry a notepad with you?"  She questioned to him with a smirk.  He reached into his backpocket and pulled out a pen from the rings around his paper.

"Sure I do: why?"  He asked to her, and after she stared at him for a few minutes he caught onto her plan.  "Oh, right: duh."  He said before jotting down something for the Fire Department. Once he was done he tore it off the pad and his date used one of her diamond shards to keep it in the seat.

"Let's get going."  She said to him; he grabbed the bags holding their winnings, and wrapped his arms around her neck.  'This kind of closness with him may take some getting used to.'  She thought before leaping away.  Thirty minutes after leaving the Cherry picker came over to get them, and when they got up to the top chair the fire officer only saw a not which read:

'To who ever is in the Cherry picker Renamon and I decided to just head back home.  Sorry if this is an inconvenince.

Signed.
Takato Matsuki'

'Renamon, one of the saviors from the D-Reaper.  I don't mind.'  The rescuer thought before going back down.  As for the two they both arrived back at Rika's place with their winnings still intact.

"That was another nice get together; except for the busted Ferris Wheel."  Matsuki said as he rubbed the back of his neck out of embarrasment.  She placed her single bag of winnings on the ground before turning back to face him.
"I don't know I kind of liked our one on one time on the Ferris Wheel, reminds me of the time the two of us slept under the stars at the park."  She said to him as she stopped on her side of the big doorway.

'Well she made the move last time.  Now it's my turn.'  The Digi-leader thought before swiftly moving in for a hug which caught the canine off guard at first.

'This feels nice.'  She thought as a sense of joy thanks to the males arms around her waist.  'I like this.'  She thought before feeling a pair of lips on her own.  It was not rough or rushed just nice and soft.

"Aside from the Ferris Wheel thing it wasn't half bad.  See you when I see you."  He said before grabbing his Sole Skate along with his bag, and headed off.  The Digital Monster watched as her friend rolled away and two thoughts entered her mind.

'I seriously owe Cyberdramon for what he did.'  The second thought was a delayed reaction, but it was still there.  'His lips haven't lost their touch.'  With that second thought she trotted back into her home.
