Hikari sighed, leaning back in the chair at the mess hall. Considering everything that had happened lately, she really wasn't sure if she should be relaxing. But there wasn't much that she could do, other than training anyway. Well, that and taking care of Nyaromon.

Speaking of Nyaromon, her partner was in the middle of devouring her third bowl of slop since they had gotten here today. Hikari was really starting to get worried. It had been quite a while since that thing with Vilgax. The fact that Nyaromon was still, well, Nyaromon was just one of the reasons why. Sure, she knew that a digimon evolving to the Ultimate level took up a lot of energy, but she couldn't remember Agumon, Gabumon, V-mon, or Wormmon ever being stuck in their baby forms for this long after evolving, even after their first time.

And then there was the other reason why she was worried. Sending that energy to Tailmon had hurt. There was no reason for something she had done countless times to hurt, even if she hadn't quite sent that much energy to her partner people. Oh, and she didn't even know she could do it and wasn't even trying to force Tailmon into the Ultimate level, she just wanted to give her enough energy to become Angewomon again.

But Holy Dramon had definitely given them results. Hikari had no doubt that without the added power that Tailmon had been given in her Ultimate form Vilgax could've likely killed Devlin or one of the others. Or even her. They wouldn't have been able to win without that power. Which meant that...

Nyaromon let out a growl and looked over at Hikari. "Hey. Hikari! I'm still hungry!"

Hikari blinked, shaken out of her thoughts by her partner, who was sitting over at her without a bowl. She must've eaten it. Again. "Okay, okay, let's go get you some more food."

Hikari moved, grabbing the small furry head in her arms and started to head over to the slop dispenser. She just hoped that Nyaromon would finally get full after her fourth bowl.

"Still eating like a machine, eh Hikari?" said Taichi, walking over with Agumon who sported his own bowl and was already dipping a claw into the mush.

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari couldn't help but giggle as she moved and waited for them to get another bowl. "Yep. It's a good thing she was never in this form back when we were in the Digital World the first time. Otherwise we might've ran out of food."

Nyaromon let out a huff. "Okay. Next time you can turn into the giant super powerful dragon and see how you feel afterwards!"

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"Been there, done that, got the t-shirt," quipped Agumon as he took a slurp of the slop, only to get a light knock on the head from Taichi.

"It's not that bad," remarked Taichi, before watching the young digimon slurp it up. "Well, I suppose this'll be a first..."

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari nodded, moving them back over to the table so Nyaromon could eat the food a bit easier. "It was pretty surprising to happen," she said, looking over at Taichi and Nyaromon started to lap up her slop. Thankfully Nyaromon was still Hikari's digimon, otherwise she might've just started to eat the entire thing in one gulp.

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"I'll bet. Good job though on reaching Ultimate, though are you okay, Hikari? You look a little worn down." said Taichi, inspecting his little sister.

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari blinked, forcing a smile. "Oh, don't worry about me. I'm alright! I'm just a little worried about Nyaromon, that's all. She's been in that state for a really long time."

No, that wasn't all that was bothering her, but she really didn't need to say anything else. There was no reason for worrying her brother.

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"That's probably cause you spent all that power in a single go," said Taichi, thinking as Agumon dug into his own bowl of slop. "Remember when Yamato and I evolved Agumon and Gabumon to Ultimate?"

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari nodded. "Yeah. Within a few hours they ended up having to evolve again."

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. I think the urgency of the whole situation pushed their evolution forward," said Taichi. "Could be worth an idea."

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari nodded. "I guess. That could be it." Which just meant she was going to have to wait for Nyaromon to evolve again unless she wanted a horrible situation to happen.

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"Well not only that, but Tailmon evolved to adult on her own. So it might take a little while to return to normal," added Taichi. "Never know, right?"

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Nyaromon blinked, before finishing the rest of her food and turning towards Taichi. "You'd think that'd just get me back to normal faster though!"

Hikari nodded. That was actually exactly what she had been thinking.

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"Hmm... I'm kinda stumped then," admitted Taichi, folding his arms. "Geez, just when I think I figure out evolution it always kicks me in the backside..."

"Ah it'll work out eventually. Seconds!" exclaimed Agumon, having eaten the bowl and tray too.

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari sighed, turning to look over at Nyaromon. "Do you want more too?"

Nyaromon smiled. "Nope! I'm good!"

And then she started glowing, and within a few seconds evolved to Plotmon. The small digimon blinked. "Well, it's about time!"

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"Okay so we can safely assume she just needed some food," said Taichi, grinning sheepishly.

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah, only several weeks worth!"

Plotmon pouted. "Hey, that's not fair. It's really draining!"

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"We can only be glad that the digimon are able to eat this much here and get away with it," laughed Taichi as Agumon nodded sagely.

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari smiled and giggled a bit more. "Yeah, we're really lucky," she said, her hands moving to wrap around Plotmon as she pulled the digimon closer to her. "And you'll be back to normal in no time."

Plotmon frowned. "I sure hope so."

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"Shouldn't take long now then. I mean, she's a strong girl anyhow," said Agumon.

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Plotmon just turned and glared over at Agumon. "Don't say that. Now it'll take me forever!"

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"Erk... scared of you." swallowed Agumon.

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari couldn't help but giggle at that, even as Plotmon just pouted.

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

Taichi chuckled at that, nodding. "Well it happens."

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari nodded. "So, what have you been up to lately Oniichan?"

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"Exploring mostly," said Taichi. "I've been looking for landmarks from the digital world or Odaiba. So far I haven't found anything yet but part of me is kind of glad for it. Reminds me a little much of home, y'know?"

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari nodded. "Yeah, I know what you mean. I used to look for a while, but I eventually gave up," she admitted. "It's been a while since the two of us tried."

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"Maybe a fresh try will help this time," said Taichi, shrugging. "Who knows, we might find something good."

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari nodded. "Yeah. That sounds good to me. We should be able to do it in a little bit. Whenever Plotmon becomes Tailmon again, anyway."

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"True enough. Till then I think it's about time I take a break anyhow," admitted Taichi. "I've been at it for maybe a couple of weeks or whatever passes for a week here?"

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari nodded. "Yeah, time's a bit hard to really tell here," she said. "Even in the city, it's hard to tell if the day cycles are actually similar to what we had back home."

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"I've long since given up on keeping track of the day cycles," grunted Taichi as Agumon returned with a bowl for him and his own. "I sleep when I feel like it nowadays."

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari giggled. "It's really the same for me. Just sleep when we're tired."

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"All we can do, right? Eat when we're hungry, sleep when we're tired."

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari nodded. "Yeah. And wait until something happens that needs our help to deal with it."

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"Exactly. At least it's not bad." said Taichi, digging a spoon into the slop.

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari nodded. "Yeah. At least I'm keeping busy with training while waiting for stuff like that, for the most part."

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"That's good. I should run a few more scenarios from before then for later," mused Taichi.

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

"Hopefully it'll work out a bit better than that first one you tried," Hikari said, still giggling a bit.

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

"So I forgot to dial down the invincibility. We had him."

"No we didn't."

"Agumon...."

"Just saying."

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

Hikari and Plotmon just laughed at that.

[yuuki-no-derp.livejournal.com]

Taichi rubbed his head. Well that was something anyhow.
