Davis' eyes opened slowly. Everything was blurred. He felt very strange. He moved his head to the side. The others were clustered in a group a few feet away, backs turned to him, discussing something in low voices. He sat up. He felt even stranger. He looked down.
The other Digidestined jumped at an ear piercing scream.
"I see...that Davis is awake." Matt said with a gulp. They all turned. Davis was sitting up, screaming and crying.
"Wh-what h-h-happend t-to m-m-meeeeeeeeeeeeeee?!" he, er, she screamed.
"Well, um, Davis." Izzy said."It appears that you've turned into a girl."
The others could have kicked him for that. Davis screamed even louder, and cried even harder.
"We'd better calm Davis down," Joe called over Davis' sobs."Or Ken's neighbours will complain!"
Ken did the only thing he could think of. He dropped down beside the sobbing teen, and hugged him. This shocked Davis into silence. The only sound now was his/her hard breathing as he/she tried to catch his/her breath. Ken didn't let go. He held on, murmuring soothing sounds.
"So...what are we gonna do about...this?" Matt asked.
"Um..." Izzy thought for a minute."I'm not exactly sure. Perhaps I should consult Genai?"
"Sounds like a good idea."
"I'll go do that, then." Izzy said. He returned to the digital world. By this time, Davis had broke away from Ken, and was sitting by his/herself, looking down.
"Are you okay?" Sora asked, reaching out tentively.
"No." was the low reply.
"Tell us?"
"I suppose that I'll have to in the long run, anyways." Davis sighed."I don't know what exactly is wrong. I guess I'm confused. That must be it. It's strange. I know this is my body, it's just changed a bit-"
"A bit?!" T.K howled. Davis turned a fierce glare at T.K, who subsided.
"Yes, a bit. I think. I guess I'm just confused because it looks and feels different. Even my mind is changing. It must be. I'm just not thinking 'boy' enough right now."
"Good theory." Joe said. Davis dropped his/her head to his/her hand.
"Headache?" Ken asked.
"Big one."
"I'll get some asprin." Ken offered.
"Thanks." Davis smiled pitifully. Ken came back with two asprin and a glass of water. While Davis swallowed the pills, the others decided what to do with him/her.
"Since he...um, she..." Matt struggled to find the right words."well, since Davis is already here, can...she? Stay here for the night?"
"Sure." Ken said."My parents won't mind. And I'll call Davis' parents to let them know."
"Great." Tai said."Maybe we should all go home now. It's getting late."
The others agreed, and left for home. Ken turned to Davis.
"Well, I guess it's just you and me, Dav-" Ken stopped himself.
"Hm?" Davis asked, looking up at him.
"It's just a bit strange calling you Davis now."
"Then call me something else." Davis shrugged.
"Like what?"
"I dunno. D?"
"D? I don't think so. Who wants to be called a letter?" Ken frowned."How about...Dee?"
"Dee?"
"Yeah, close enough without being just a degrading letter."
Davis shrugged again.
"Why not?"
"Okay, that's settled." Ken said."I'll call your parents and tell them you're here. My parents won't be home for awhile, so we might as well get dinner."
"Sure."
Both being too emotionally and physically tired to cook, Ken and Dee ordered out. They ate it in Ken's room, and waited for any news from Izzy. When none came by the time Ken's parents came home, they sighed, and went to explain things to them.
Amazingly enough, they were pretty understanding about the whole situation.
Dee had arranged some sleeping bags and blankets in a comfy nest for herself on the floor near Ken's bunk. Then she realised something.
"Ken?" she asked tentively."May I-"
A pair of Ken's pyjamas dropped onto her lap.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Dee left to change in the bathroom. She avoided her reflection in the mirror as she pulled on the borrowed pj's. They were a bit too big for her, too long in the leg, and too loose on her new frame. She hitched the pants up, rolled up the sleeves, and re-entered Ken's bedroom. Then stumbled over the pant legs, and fell headlong into Ken. They landed on the floor, with Ken underneath. Their lips met forcefully. Dee broke away, blushing furiously, and burrowed into her nest. Ken's whole face went completely red.
"Goodnight...Dee." he said, avoiding her eyes as he turned out the light. He climbed onto his bunk.
"Goodnight, Ken." Dee answered after a minute or two of silence.
