29. Doing Something Sweet Hunter has never had to take care of anyone before. Only himself when he's got sick before. And before he lived alone he had so rarely become sick, he'd never needed the assistance of others to be cured. So when he wakes up and finds Piper up with a temperature, shivering and a cold sweat, he's at a bit of a loss of what to do. Piper assures him she's fine, but when she tries to stand she falls straight back down on trembling legs and obeys his suggestion to stay in bed. His first thought is to call Rose, but she probably knows about as much about taking care of others as he does. He asks Skollmon to curl up with

28. Doing Something Ridiculous Everything is laid out so perfectly in the kitchen, on the ingredients needed for baking cupcakes. It's just something Piper felt like doing, and she's roped Hunter into help her - mainly to use him to stir things. But he's not playing ball. He keeps grabbing her when she reaches for things, or holding them away from her until she kisses him to get what she needs. He's overly playful and amorous and while it's sweet, it's also a little frustrating when she's trying to do something. Harder still when Caesarmon and Skollmon are weaving between their feet, hoping to pick up anything that might fall on the floor.

26. Getting Married Everyone thinks, or dreams about getting married, at least that's what she's been led to believe. And after going through some wedding magazines with Eva and Frankie most of the afternoon, it's almost the only thing on Piper's mind while she's walking back to Hunter's apartment. Walking past bakeries, she things how nice it would be to have red velvet cupcakes served. She see's flowers walking past a florist and considers what she would have in her bouquet, or what she might have to decorate centre pieces at her own wedding. And then there's the dress. Oh, the dress. Some of the dresses in Eva's magazines are the most

25. Gazing Into Each Other's Eyes Now she's dry and in some of the clothes she has at his apartment, they're lying on his bed, face-to-face. Hunter just wants to be impossibly close to her. He's missed having her at his apartment the past week. He's hated not having her there. As soon as she had left after their stupid fight he knew he should have gone after her, but stubborn pride had stopped him. That was the past though. She was here now and that was what mattered and he was going to make up for the time she hadn't been. He doesn't want to let her go and she needs to know that. Their legs are entwined, knotted together keeping each oth

24. Making Up Afterwards They don't talk for a week. It's the longest they've gone without speaking since they began seeing each other. Piper tries not to keep checking her emails and her D-Touch for messages or missed calls. She is tempted more than once to call him, to apologise but something stops her each time. What if he doesn't want to speak to her? What if he doesn't accept her apology? What if he tells her what she said is unforgiveable and he doesn't want to see her any longer? Not only would that break her heart, but it would make working in a group with Digimon very difficult. When it's been exactly a week, Piper swallows he

23. Arguing They rarely argued, it was something he liked the most about their relationship, how easy it was for them. They agreed on most things. But it meant that when they did argue, it could be heated and passionate, but not in the good ways. He couldn't even remember what they had started arguing about, only that now it had moved on from something probably completely mundane to the unspoken frustration in their relationship: sex. Who had mentioned it first, he wasn't sure. It was probably him, and he'd made some stupid flippant comment that Piper had taken the wrong way. But now she was shaking furiously with her fists clenched, and

22. In Battle Even as the dust clears it is impossible to see what's going on around her. She can only make out shadows, outlines in amongst the debris. "Aureliumon!" She cries, hoping her voice carries. What happened? Something had hit the ground hard. An attack had blasted the street near where she was knocking her back several feet. Her back ached, and she struggled to breathe. "Aureliumon!?" She was on her own, facing down a crystalline Digimon with Aureliumon. She had contacted the others, but there was no telling what time they would get to her location. They were out powered, taking down one needed more than just one of them. Beh

21. Cooking He's got the cook book open, held open at the right page with a saucepan he'll probably need shortly. The kitchen is a mess, there are pans and bowls and utensils piled up in the sink, and there's debris, crumbs and flour all over the floor and all over him where the bag burst open. Skollmon is no help, standing at the threshold of the door smirking widely while watching Hunter frantically try to move pots and pans, to have everything cooked and ready to serve at the same time. The kitchen is not a place he frequents, and he is not a natural chef. His way of cooking is to throw something in the oven and pull it out twenty minut
