Chapter 43: A Nice Day For A Digi-Wedding

Emmett Liberty was on his smartphone lying back in bed in his home in Queens, New York. It was 9:00 am in New York, which meant it was 10:00pm in Nakano, Japan. He had opened up a text on his phone to send something to Drusilla. "So, have you heard that Mirei stopped Ogudomon from being created?" said the message that Emmett typed. Drusilla was online. She replied. "I did. Miss Mikagura is amazing! She went into the base and slipped out without even having to fight anyone!" Emmett was quiet for a moment. "You're amazing." Said the text he said. Emmett's eyes widened, he blushed, and started sweating. "I meant to say 'Yeah. Amazing.' Not 'You're amazing'! She's going to think I'm flirting with her which I'm totally not!" Emmett exclaimed. Before Emmett had a chance to correct what autocorrect undone, Drusilla responded, "You're sweet. What do you find amazing about me?" Emmett's mind started racing. He looked really panicked. "Oh no! Now it's too late for me to take it back! If I take it back now, that would be same as implying that she's NOT amazing, which she is! I can't just say 'I didn't mean to say that'. It might hurt her feelings. Surely being complimented like that made her feel good. Now I have to make something up to respond to the specific question of what I think is so amazing about Drusilla!" Emmett pondered aloud…and quite loud. Dovemon was lying on the bed next to him. She sat up, looked over to him with a groggy look, and said, "Emmett. Could you keep it down. I'm trying to sleep in. It's been wall to wall action for the past several chapters." Dovemon said. Emmett looked over to Dovemon and said. "I'm having a bit of a crisis here!" Emmett complained. Emmett then raised an index finger in the air and smiled. "I've got it!" He then looked down at his phone and saw "R u still there?" a message sent by Drusilla. Panicked, Emmett typed furiously on his phone.

"What isn't amazing about a girl who is totally immune to being burned? You're kind of like a super hero! I also think you make one heck of a Digimon Tamer. I mean, I heard that your Feroniamon took Lillithmon to the cleaners without breaking a sweat. I mean, I guess in saying that, I'm saying Feroniamon is amazing, but an amazing Digimon partner can't exist without an amazing human partner as well!"

He hit send, but then was mortified yet again. "AH! Drusilla's not human! What am I thinking?" Dovemon pecked him in the head. "Technically she is. She's half human on her father's side! Now stop freaking out over text messaging and let me nap!" Dovemon fussed. Emmett rubbed the side of his head where his Digimon had pecked him. "You know, for a holy Digimon, you sure can be cranky." Emmett said. Dovemon turned away with an angry look on her face, then she layed down and covered her face with her wings. Emmett then got another response. "I think the DNA ratio is more Devillian than human, but I know what you mean." Emmett took a sigh of relief. Emmett started typing on his smartphone again.

On the other side of the conversation, in Nakano Japan, Drusilla was smiling from ear to ear. She was likewise laying down on her bed, except it was "I think Emmett likes you." Coalmon said. "I think you may be right." Drusilla replied. "Do you like him back?" Coalmon asked. Drusilla blushed and turned to the other side. "Well…he is kind of cute, and nice. But he's such a mama's boy." Drusilla said. Coalmon pumped her little rocky arms with a big smile on her face. "But I've heard that a man who treats his mother well will treat his wife well too. You might want to think about thaaaaat." Coalmon said, her second sentence being singsongy. Drusilla's ears turned red. Honestly, she didn't really care about Emmett being a Mama's boy.

Drusilla then got another text. "Do you want to hang out?" Drusilla grimaced. She responded "It's 10:00 at night over here." Emmett frowned. "Ok, maybe I'll get up early tomorrow and we can go to the Digital World or something."

Unbeknownst to them, a Digimon was in a cyber space looking at the conversation unfold. Where this Digimon was standing looked like a circuit board room with the floor and walls having a circuit board pattern with green and black coloring. Above her was the conversation, as though a screenshot had been taken of it and plastered on the ceiling. The Digimon herself looked like a noblewoman wearing a large dress that looked like a wedding cake. She had what looked like a red visor over her eyes, and a trophy like cupcake on her head which sort of resembled a crown. In her right hand was a golden colored fan. She also had pinkish red skin and was wearing red high heels on her feet. The Digimon smiled as she eavesdropped on the conversation, the words each of the two children typed passing her by like cars on a busy highway. "Ah, young love. These two clearly want each other, but the time zone differences are keeping them apart. But….if they were married…they'd live in the same house. They could be together all the time." The Digimon muttered to herself.

The Digimon Analyzer came up in the mind's eye of the reader; "Weddinmon, an Ultimate level vaccine Digimon. This Digimon thinks of everyone's happiness as her own. Weddinmon is known for throwing a commemorative event when it sees two Digimon who are friends. When you get a taste of Weddinmon's cake, any event will turn into a happy occasion. But if you try to intervene, look out! Her Whipped Decoration attack will make diabetes look like a walk in the park."

Weddimon then raised her arms into the air. "Oh, sweet Emmett and Drusilla. Come to the Digital World with me and let me give you a happily ever after!" Weddimon said. In the bedrooms of Drusilla and Emmett, their phones started shining bright lights. Emmett shielded his eyes with his left hand. "What's going on?" Emmett asked. Dovemon sat up, having been asleep. She looked over to him with an angry look. "I told you to pipe down!" Dovemon's angry expression turned to one of surprise. Over in Japan, Drusilla was also shielding her eyes with her hands. "What the flip? Am I going to need to replace this thing?" Drusilla asked. Then, Emmett and Drusilla were both sucked into the screens of their phones! While their phones were still glowing, Dovemon and Coalmon jumped in after their partners!

Emily had opened the door to see what all the noise was and was taken aback as she watched her son sucked into his phone…literally! "The flip!? I told him not to go to those kinds of websites! You never know what kind of virus you're going to get!" Emily exclaimed.

Emmett and Drusilla landed in a beautiful green park. Dovemon and Coalmon weren't far behind. They landed right on top of their partners with a thud! They groaned in pain when the Rookies fell on top of them. Emmett pushed Dovemon off of him. Drusilla gently set Dovemon to the side. Then they both stood up and looked around. Emmett smiled and blushed when he saw Drusilla there. "Oh! Hi. Drusilla." Emmett said. "Hey there, Emmett. Look, do you know why we got sucked into our phones?" Drusilla asked. "Not really. It looks to me like we're in the Digital World." Emmett said. Dovemon and Coalmon paced back and forth surveying their surroundings. "Could be. But you never know." Dovemon said. They then were both allerted to the sound of a feminine voice. "Passionate Lovers! Distance shall keep you apart no longer! Allow me to wed you and make you into a happy couple!" They turned to see who spoke to them. It was Weddinmon. "Whoa! Holy crap it's Lady Gaga!" Emmett said while pointing. Drusilla giggled. "I'm surprised you know who that is. She's from our parents' time." Drusilla said through her laughter. Emmett smiled. He had intentionally tried to make her laugh and it worked.

Weddinmon was quiet for a moment. "Lady…Gaga?" She looked to the left and then to the right. Then she looked back at the two tweens. "I have no idea of this Lady Guhgaaah you speak of. I am Weddinmon; an ultimate level Digimon who…oh, you've already read the Digimon Analyzer entry." Drusilla was in pajamas which consisted of a black top and black pants covered in a skulls and crossbones print. It was 10:00pm in Japan after all. She was nearing her bedtime. Actually, she had stayed up past it. "Are you the ones who brought us here? Where is here…anyway? The Digital World?" Drusilla asked. Weddinmon swayed back and forth slightly. "Yes, child, yes! Yes to both questions! I brought you here to my own personal garden in the Digital World!" Weddinmon cheerfully responded. Emmett's eyes widened. He pointed his finger slightly in Weddinmon's direction with a red face. "Wait! Did you just call us 'passionate lovers' a moment ago?" He asked. Weddimon chuckled. "Yes, child, yes! You see, I like to hack my own body into peoples' private messages. I can tell who is in love and who isn't. Whoever is, I bring here to marry tut suite!" Drusilla and Emmett both looked at each other and then at Weddinmon, obviously appearing mortified. "But we're not-" Drusilla began. "In love!" Emmett said. "We're just friends!" They both said. Weddimon chuckled. "Don't try to deny it. You're even at the point where you finish each other's sentences." Weddinmon said. She swayed some more.

Drusilla and Emmett just stared at Weddinmon in silence…and embarrassment. Weddimon clapped her hands. At that point, another Digimon showed up. He had come out from the mansion at the back of the garden. He walked over to the 5 carrying two small, square boxes. The Digimon's head looked like a slice of cake with eyes and a mouth. His lower body looked like a well dressed child. "I am Shortmon. It is pleased to meet you." He said. "A pleasure." Drusilla, Emmett, Dovemon, and Coalmon all said simultaneously. They were still a bit weirded out by all of this. However, they were about to be even more weirded out. Shortmon opened the boxes he was carrying to reveal two rings. "The rings for Mr. and Mrs…" Shortmon began. "Liberty." Weddinmon said. Drusilla stomped her foot. "No!" She exclaimed in frustration. "Oh? You're keeping your maiden name?" Weddimon asked. "No, I'm not keeping my maiden name." Drusilla said. "So you'll be Drusilla Gray-Liberty?" Weddinmon asked. "No. You don't understand. See, we're not getting married. We're just kids! Kids don't get married, you diabetes-inducing weirdo!" Drusilla fussed. Weddimon chuckled and waved her hand. "Oh, child! Here in the Digital World, the rules that apply in your world need not apply. You're obviously in love so why not go ahead and get married?" Weddimon said.

Drusilla was about to respond when Weddimon took the rings out of the boxes and put them on their fingers. "Now, enough of this. Come inside and enjoy fine tea and music while Shortmon and I get your ceremony ready. Do not fear, I will go through the contacts on your phone and invite all of them." Weddimon said.

Back in the physical world….

Evander stepped into the Kuremi Detective agency. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. "What is so important that you'd call me at this late hour, Miss Kuremi?" Evander asked. Evander looked over to see, to his surprise, Emily and Zai sitting on the couch with their partner Digimon, Lopmon and BlackGatomon. "Emily…Zai….what are you doing here?" Evander asked. Evander sat down. He yawned. Kyoko smiled and stood up. "I'll get you some coffee." She said. Evander's eyes widened and he started having flashbacks while dramatic classical music played in his mind. "Fish eyeballs. Mayonnaise. Octopus tentacles." Said Kyoko's voice in his head, from his memories. Kyoko scowled. "Still having PTSD from that alternate timeline, huh?" She observed as she walked into the next room. Kyoko poured an absolutely normal cup of coffee from the coffee maker and then came back and handed it back to Evander. Kyoko then went around her desk and sat back down in her desk chair. Folding her hands under her chin, she began to explain everything. "During the past week, people have started vanishing from all over the world. Detectives have found that each person has something in common; they were exchanging flirtatious texts right before they were abducted. I've personally scanned the phones of several of these victims. Each one has something in common; a Digimon signature can be found in the code of the text message apps."

"Whoever it was, they took Drusilla!" Zai said.

"And Emmett too!" Emily said.

"And they took their Digimon!" Syn said.

"No. Remember? Emily said she saw Dovemon willingly hop into the phone. She was probably trying to save her partner." Lopmon said.

Evander put his hand up to his chin, going into his typical deep thinking pose. "But wait." Evander said before looking over in Kyoko's direction. "You said every victim had flirtatious texts in common. Were Emmett and Drusilla doing that?" Evander asked. Kyoko gestured over to the two mothers. Emily looked at Kyoko and saw her physical gestures. She then looked at Evander. "Well, what they said certainly could be interpreted that way." Emily said, taking out Emmett's smartphone and handing it to him. Evander scrolled through the messages. "You're amazing." Evander said as he read the text. "Why thank you, Evander. I do my best." Kyoko said with a smirk. Evander stood up and looked back towards Kyoko's TV. She would often use it to keep up with the news during her breaks. Evander wished he could connect jump straight to the Digital World. Then he realized something important; "Agumon! Terriermon! Ladybugmon!" Evander ran over to the door and opened it. His partner Digimon were snoozing soundly in the hallway. He was so half asleep when he walked through the door that he accidentally shut them out, and they fell asleep while they were out in the hallway.

Evander nudged Agumon with his foot. "Hey, buddy. Get up. We've got a case to solve. Buddy. Hey." Evander said. Agumon snorted a little. "No…not Explosive Diarrhea. I don't want to be hit with that attack." Agumon said in his sleep. Evander sweat dropped with a deadpan expression. "What the flip is he dreamin' about?" He said to himself.

Back in the Digital World, in Weddinmon's mansion, Drusilla, Emmett, and their Digimon found themselves sitting in a large, fancy living room. A Kamemon - a small turtle like Digimon - brought them some tea. He set it down on a coffee table in front of a floral patterned couch they both were sitting on. "Here's your tea." The Kamemon said. Drusilla and Emmett both picked up their cups at the same time. "Thank you." They said in unison. Drusilla leaned over to Emmett to whisper in his ear. "Maybe we should have our Digimon and fight our way out." Drusilla said. Emmett replied, "I'd rather us find a non-violent means of escape. All of the resident Digimon at this mansion seem pretty nice. I'd hate to hurt them." Emmett whispered, watching the tea serving Kamemon walk off. Before Drusilla could say another word, a Deramon walked into the room, holding a wedding dress and a tuxedo. "Come with me, please. It's time to try on wedding clothes." Deramon said. Drusilla and Emmett stood up and walked over to the Deramon.

They followed him into a room with multiple changing booths like you would find at an outlet store at a mall. To their surprise, there were other humans and alien species changing into wedding dresses and tuxedos getting ready for weddings of their own. "We're not the only ones here?" Dovemon observed. Deramon turned around to face the two kids and their Digimon. He smiled and held his wing out. "Oh, absolutely not. Weddinmon has weddings planned all week long. One for each day of the week!" Deramon said. "One for each day of the week? So when is our wedding supposed to be?" Emmett asked. "Don't you worry! Weddinmon was so enraptured by your text conversation that she booked you up today and postponed another! Aren't you lucky?!" Deramon replied enthusiastically. Drusilla and Emmett both looked at each other, grimaced, and then returned their attention to Deramon. "Yeah. Lucky." They both said in unison. Drusilla looked frustrated. "How many times have we got to say this? Emmett and I are not a couple! But even if we were, we're too young to get married! Why won't Weddinmon listen?" Drusilla complained. Deramon scowled, looking frustrated. "What? You dare question the wisdom of Weddinmon?! She has always had a gift for knowing who makes a good couple. She's been in the matchmaking and wedding planning business for over 15 years! She's never been wrong before!" Deramon fussed. "Well, she's wrong this time! We-" She cut herself off and decided to change what she was going to say. "We're not ready for that kind of commitment." Deramon threw the wedding dress at Drusilla, causing it to land on top of her head like a tarp. He threw the tuxedo at Emmett, but he caught it before it hit him. "You must trust in Weddinmon's love detection! Now try on these clothes and be grateful!" Deramon fussed before walking past them out the door. "Kids today, I tell ya. They aint got no respect. No respect." Deramon uttered under his breath.

Some couples had heard them arguing with Deramon. They were pretty loud after all. One man with brown hair and eyes walked up to them and frowned. "It's been that way for all of us." He said. Drusilla, Emmett, Coalmon, and Dovemon looked over to the man who spoke to them. "Weddinmon just doesn't listen to anything we say. In our case, my boyfriend and I had only been dating for two weeks!" A blonde woman next to her said.

The man introduced himself "My name is Shinji."

The woman introduced herself "And I'm Himari"

"My name is Emmett."

"I'm Drusilla."

"I'm Dovemon."

"I'm Coalmon."

They all sat down in stools in the changing room. Shinji and Himari explained what happened to them. It was the same thing that happened to Drusilla and Emmett; they were exchanging messages over their smartphones when all of a sudden, their phones glowed and they ended up here at Weddinmon's ranch in the Digital World. Shinji explained that this had happened with 4 other couples as well in the past week, and even though none of the couples expressed a desire to get married yet, Weddinmon wouldn't listen. She did give them all rooms to sleep in until the day of their ceremonies, but she still nevertheless abducted several people and was going to force marriage on them.

Emmett looked over to Drusilla. Something was on his mind. "So every person here was taken after Weddinmon hacked into their phones and read their flirtatious texts. Drusilla, did I….come off flirty to you?" Emmett asked. "Yes." She answered bluntly. Emmett fell over off of the stool he was sitting on. "I'm so sorry!" He blurted out. His face was red as a beat. "Why?" She answered monotonously. Emmett just stared up at the ceiling, silent. Drusilla smiled and sighed. "Never mind. Now we just need to focus on getting back home." Drusilla said.

Deramon then came back in. He still seemed irked. "Why have you not tried on any of the dresses?" He asked. Drusilla was quick with an excuse. She flapped the batlike wings growing out of her back a couple of times. "For a Devillian like me, wedding dresses designed for human women are more than a bit uncomfortable." Drusilla said. Deramon's eyes widened and his beak opened wide. He gasped. "Cheese and crackers! I'm so sorry! I will tell the tailor to fix this right away!" Deramon exclaimed. Deramon then turned around and rushed out the door.

Elsewhere, Evander, Agumon, Ladybugmon, and Terriermon appeared through a Digi-Gate. Evander tapped the com in his ear which connected him with Kyoko Kuremi. All around him were large flowers. He was in a flower field. The field was obviously not a naturally occurring phenomenon. Someone had been keeping and tending to this field. "Kyoko. I've traced the digital trails to this location. Our mon has to be in this location somewhere. Hard to believe they'd be so sloppy." Evander said. Agumon nodded. "Yeah. This Digimon left its digital fingerprints all over the place. Finding this location was a snap." Agumon said. Kyoko responded over the com, "Keep your guard up. There's no telling what kind of Digimon is behind this." Kyoko asked. Evander nodded, "Right." and then hung up.

Back at Weddinmon's mansion, in the changing area, Drusilla came out of one of the booths wearing a beautiful white wedding dress that was just her size. Her black batlike wings came out the back. "Ugh. White is so not my color." Drusilla complained. Coalmon smiled and pumped her coal arms up and down. "I think you look beautiful!" Coalmon said before turning to Emmett's direction. "Don't you think so?" Coalmon asked. Emmett blushed, he looked at Drusilla and then back at Coalmon. "Yeah. She's stunning!" He blurted out.

In the kitchen in Weddimon's mansion, Shortmon and Weddinmon were preparing the wedding cake. "Cake, cake, cake, I love to bake cakes." Shortmon sang as he put icing on the cake. Since this is a wedding cake, it had several tiers. On top were figures of a bride and groom who resembled Emmett and Drusilla. Somehow Weddinmon had these figures made quickly.

Back where Evander was, he and his Digimon walked up to the door of the mansion and knocked on it. "This is Detective Glovion, open the door." A few seconds passed. No one answered. "This is Detective Glovion of The Kuremi Detective Agency. Open the door!" Evander demanded. "Should we bust it down?" Ladybugmon asked. Evander put his hand on the door and opened it. He saw a bunch of Ogremon dancing to Disco music. The music was so loud it was no wonder they couldn't hear the door knock. The Ogremon all turned and faced Evander. One of them pressed a button on the nearby machine which was playing the music. The room was now totally silent. Evander grimaced. They did not look happy. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" The Ogremon asked. Evander flashed his badge. "I'm detective Glovion. I'm on a missing persons case." Evander said. "Oh, I have a feeling your culprit is Weddingmon. She's in the mansion next door. She keeps bringing all sorts of humans to her mansion." The Ogremon said. Evander said, "Thanks." He turned and walked out the door. Then he turned to the left and headed for Weddinmon's mansion.

After some time passed, Weddinmon had everything prepared. There was an altar in the garden in front of her mansion. Drusilla and Emmett were standing at the altar in front of Weddinmon holding each other's hands. Dovemon was the flower girl and Coalmon was the ring bearer. Dovemon skipped down the isle tossing flowers left and right. Coalmon kind of hopped her way down the isle as it was impossible for her to carry the ring and employ her usual means of getting around (i.e rolling). There were metal chairs lined up on both sides of the isle. They were mostly empty with the exception of the mansion staff members such as Shortmon and Deramon. Weddinmon frowned. "I couldn't get all your friends and family together. For some reason, all their phones were disconnected from the internet and I could not get to them." Weddinmon said. Drusilla thought that was odd. Why would they all be disconnected from the internet? Weddinmon began to recite the vows; "We gather here today to celebrate the love between Emmett Liberty and Drusilla Gray. Do you promise to stay together until death causes you to depart? Do you promise to be there for each other, to have and to hold each other? Do you promise to always remember the yummy cake that your friend Weddinmon prepared for you? Also, you sure you want to get married? You two are kind of young for this."

Emmett and Drusilla turned to Weddinmon and glared at her. Weddinmon laughed. "I kid! Of course, you're ready for this! So just say 'I do' and kiss already! No, wait. Someone has to speak now or forever hold their peace. Ok, so any of you darlings have a problem with that?" Emmett and Drusilla both raised their eyebrows. This was not a very professional sounding wedding vow in their opinion. There was silence for a few seconds, so Weddinmon raised both of her arms in the air and said, "Welp, I don't hear any object-" and then was cut off by a familiar voice. "I object!" Everyone turned to see Evander and his Digimon standing in the isle. Weddimon frowned and pointed her finger. "Too late! You should have said that a few seconds sooner!" Weddimon fussed. Evander raised an eyebrow. "Is that…Lady Gaga?" He said. Agumon, Ladybugmon, and Terriermon fell over anime style. "That's not Lady Gaga! That's Weddinmon!" Terriermon said as he stood back up. "And she's known for throwing commemorative events, though usually not against peoples' wills." Ladybugmon added as he stood back up. "A forced marriage results in a Bad Romance." Agumon said. Terriermon and Ladybugmon looked over to Agumon with sweat drops going down their heads and with dead pan expressions. Agumon shrugged. "What?"

Evander flashed his badge as he began walking down the isle. "Weddinmon. You're under arrest for hacking and kidnapping." Evander said. Weddinmon scowled. "Surely you must be joking!" She exclaimed. "I'm not joking, and don't call me Shirley." Evander said.

"Hey, Taylor's Dad is here! He'll free us from making an binding commitment when we're not even old enough to consent to this!" Drusilla said cheerfully. "Yeah! Go Taylor's Dad!" Emmett said cheerfully. The two were still holding each other's hands though. Evander's eye twitched a little. "I have a name, you know." He said. Weddimon walked around Drusilla and Emmett and began walking down the isle in Evander's direction. Evander watched Weddinmon with caution. Was she coming towards him to surrender or would she attack him? Based on his experience as a Cyber Sleuth, the latter was usually the case. Digimon criminals always thought they could overpower him and his team and get away. Weddimon swung her golden fan in Evander's direction while shouting "Whip Decoration!" A creamy substance shot out of her fan and covered Evander and his 3 partner Digimon. Well, that answered that question. She was coming to attack. "Evander! Oh no! He and his Digimon are getting creamed!" Coalmon exclaimed. Dovemon looked over to the round coal Digimon and made the equivalent of a thumbs down with her wing. "Boo!" Evander struggled to get up as did his Digimon, but it was useless. This creamlike substance had completely restricted their movement. "Ugh! I can't move!" Evander exclaimed. "Neither can I!" Agumon exclaimed. "What's this stuff made of?" Terriermon asked.

"Anyone who gets in the way of someone else's eternal happiness must be punished! You will not stop this beautiful couple from ending up together!" Weddinmon said as she pointed her fan at Evander and his Digimon. "And who said they even wanted to get married? Did they tell you that themselves?" Terriermon asked. Weddimon shook her head and then began swaying. "I just know. I read their texts. That is the text of two people madly in love with each other. They deny it, but I know the truth. I have never, EVER been wrong about this. I have 15 years of matchmaking and wedding planning under my belt. Well, I don't wear a belt. I wear a dress that looks like a huge flipping cake, but you know what I mean. Anyway, lots of couples I've married are still together to this day." Weddinmon explained.

Deramon raised his wing from the chair he was sitting in. "Yeah! That's what I told 'em! Weddinmon has like, a love detector or something." Deramon said.

"Well, maybe your so-called love detector is malfunctioning." Agumon said.

Emmett looked over at Drusilla and then looked away. They didn't protest Weddinmon's conclusion. Neither of them did. They only protested the marriage. Weddinmon turned around and started walking back over to the two kids. "Now, let us finish." Weddimon said with a smile on her face, holding her hands out to her sides. Agumon's face wasn't covered by the cream, so when Weddimon turned her back, he fired off a "Pepper Breath!" in her direction. The fire ball hit her in the back and Weddinmon stopped in her tracks. She turned around and looked at the man and his Digimon while gritting her teeth and growling. It was obvious that this made her upset. Weddinmon held out her hand and caused it to morph into a large cake knife. Then she started walking towards the four. "Since you refuse to stop interfering with Drusilla's and Emmett's happiness, I am going to have to eliminate you." Weddinmon said. Emmett sighed and took out his digivice. "Drusilla, you were right. We're going to have to fight. No matter how nice the other Digimon here are, we can't let Taylor's Dad and his Digimon get hurt." Emmett said. Evander's voice could be heard shouting from the side; "I have a name you know! Call me Mr. Glovion!" Drusilla nodded. She took out her digivice also. Then they both held their digivices high into the air. "For Taylor's Dad!" Drusilla said. "My name is Evander Glovion! Oh, why do I bother?"

"DIGIVOLUTION"

"Dovemon digivolve to….Harpymon!"

"Harpymon digivolve to….HolyHarpymon!"

"DIGIVOLUTION"

"Coalmon digivolve to….CoalGolemon!"

"CoalGolemon digivolve to…MagnetGolemon!"

HolyHarpymon flew over to Weddinmon and flapped her wings, causing feathers to fall off and transform into arrows of light. "Marian Arrows!" HolyHarpymon shouted before the arrows of light flew towards Weddinmon.

"Eruption!" MagnetGolemon shouted as she raised her arms towards Weddinmon and blasted hot magma at high pressure.

Weddinmon got hit with both attacks and got knocked back. "AHH!" She screamed in pain. Weddinmon slowly sat up. "No! Drusilla! Emmett! Your Digimon are trying to interfere with your happiness! I'm sorry, but I must stop them!" Weddinmon shouted. Weddinmon then stood up and raised her arms up, completely vertical. "Happiness Fall!" Weddinmon shouted before summoning a giant cake from a portal which fell on HolyHarpymon and MagnetGolemon and exploded! HolyHarpymon and MagnetGolemon cried out as the attack damaged them. HolyHarpymon then raised her arms above her head and the rosary around her neck lit up. "Heaven's Charm!" HolyHarpymon shouted before sending a cross shaped beam of energy out at her opponent. MagnetGolemon raised her arms above her head and caused a large ball of fire to form in between her hands. She then tossed the huge firey sphere at Weddinmon while shouting "Fire Force!" Weddinmon jumped off to the side to dodge HolyHarpymon's Heaven's Charm, but in evading HolyHarpymon's attack, she was hit directly with CoalGolemon's Fire Force. "AAAAHHHH!!!! IT BURNS! MY ICING IS MELTING!" Weddinmon shouted.

Weddinmon then fell to the ground. She looked to be in bad shape. Was it over? Nope. Shortmon ran to her aid. "My lady! My lady! No!" Shortmon shouted. Drusilla and Emmett both gave each other a high five. "Yeah! Our Digimon are awesome!" Drusilla cheered. "You can say that again!" Emmett cheered. "Yeah! Our Digimon are awesome!" Drusilla said, repeating herself.

Weddinmon struggled to sit up, but she did manage it. She looked over at the two kids and noticed them celebrating the fact that their Digimon were winning. This confused her. "Why? Why are rooting against….your own…happiness? I don't….understand." Weddinmon said in a sad tone of voice. Shortmon looked over at the two kids and their Ultimate level Digimon and growled. "After all we've done to help you tie the knot, this is how you repay us!?" Shortmon exclaimed in outrage.

HolyHarpymon put her front talons on her hips and sighed. "You do realize we've been saying over and over again that they aren't ready to get married." HolyHarpymon said. "Although…" MagnetGolemon said before looking back at Emmett and then back at Shortmon. MagnetGolemon thought Weddinmon was right on the money in thinking they liked each other, but even she knew forcing two people to get married was kind of messed up. Shortmon hugged Weddinmon and the two of them started glowing. "Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! I will destroy you for hurting my precious Weddinmon!" Shortmon shouted. The two pastry esque Digimon transformed into pure light and in moments, they fused together. "Weddinmon and Shortmon, DNA Digivolve to….ReverseWeddinmon!" They said in unison. When the glowing light, faded, it revealed a new Digimon. This Digimon looked like a giant floating upside down wedding cake with big eyes and a mouth with huge lips! Two metallic things extended from both sides that resembled the things you'd see on a chandelier. Inside of her "arms" were two menacing looking faces and a plethora of forks.

Drusilla blinked a couple of times with a dead pan expression. "This day just gets weirder and weirder." Drusilla said. "Crazy Cracker!" ReverseWeddinmon exclaimed before shooting confetti from the cracker on her right arm. The two Ultimate level Digimon and the two digidestined kids blinked a couple of times with expressions that said "what the heck is going on here?" "Umm….confetti?" Drusilla observed. "That's an attack?" MagnetGolemon said. When the confetti got near them, it exploded! "Ahh!" HolyHarpymon and MagnetGolemon cried out. HolyHarpymon and MagnetGolemon fell over! This attack was pretty damaging. ReverseWeddinmon laughed.

Drusilla and Emmett held up their digivices again. "I'm getting tired of this. It's way past my bedtime in Japan." Drusilla said. "And I haven't had breakfast yet." Emmett said.

"MEGA DIGIVOLUTION"

"MagnetGolemon mega digivolve to….Feroniamon!"

"HolyHarpymon mega digivolve to….Mariamon!"

ReverseWeddinmon then launched an omnidirectional fire attack from all the candles on her head "Candle Service Infer!" She shouted. Mariamon held up her shield to defend herself from the various fireballs raining down upon her. Feroniamon dealt with this attack by wrapping her wings of fire around her body and absorbing the flames into themselves. Unfortunately, the attack went in other directions too besides the two megas! It landed on Deramon and set the bush on his back on fire! Deramon started screaming in a high pitched voice like a terrified girl and ran towards a fountain. Deramon plunged himself into the fountain, took a sigh of relief, and said, "Burning Butt became badly drenched, baby!" The flames also hit the cream that had trapped Evander, Agumon, Ladybugmon, and Terriermon. It actually melted the cream enough to where it liquified it and allowed Evander and his Digimon to stand up. Fortunately, none of them were directly hit with any of the fireballs that came out of ReverseWeddinmon's top. ReverseWeddinmon growled. "So you deflected that attack too, huh? Well, try this! Fork Dance!" Weddimon exclaimed before lunging at Mariamon and repeatedly trying to stab her with the forks on the end of her arm. Mariamon parried each strike, either with her sword or her shield.

"I think we all should go on a sugar free diet for a while." Mariamon said before causing her shield to glow brightly. "Shield Of Faith!" Mariamon exclaimed as a beam of holy light shot out of the shield. ReverseWeddinmon was right there at point blank range, so she got hit and got sent back into one of the rows of metal chairs on one side of the aisle, causing them to scatter and make large clanking sounds. ReverseWeddinmon got up again, she had clearly taken a lot of damage from that point blank range attack. But she still wasn't down for the count. Feroniamon flapped her wings and caused a plethora of fire balls to be launched out of her wings. "Fire Flapping!" Feroniamon exclaimed. ReverseWeddinmon got hit and cried out in pain! Then, ReverseWeddinmon de-digivolved back to Weddinmon and Shortmon, both of whom seemed to be pretty beat up from the battle.

"Ok! Ok! I give up! Please stop attacking!" Weddinmon called out. Drusilla and Emmett gave each other another high five, their faces beaming with huge smiles. Feroniamon and Mariamon walked over to the two pastry Digimon. "Will you please listen? Emmett and Drusilla are not ready to get married. They don't even like each other in that way. They're just friends." Mariamon said. Feroniamon folded her arms and gave Mariamon a skeptical look. She wasn't quite so sure about that second statement. Feroniamon had watched Emmett's and Drusilla's interactions, and they became more and more friendly towards each other as time went on. Maybe they did like each other as just friends though. Feroniamon reminded herself that she was a Digimon and one that hadn't been around that long at that. Perhaps she shouldn't be so quick to draw conclusions about human (or human/half-human) relationships. But she recalled what Drusilla said earlier that night when, as a Coalmon, she pointed out that she thought Emmett liked him. Drusilla said "I think so too." So maybe, Feroniamon thought to herself, she wasn't reading more into the situation after all.

Shortmon hugged Weddinmon and began crying. "Weddinmon! Weddinmon! You're hurt! Please don't leave me! I love you!" Shortmon exclaimed. "I'll be fine." Weddimon said before turning to Drusilla and Emmett. "Drusilla, Emmett. I'm sorry for trying to make you do something you didn't want to do. For some reason, business has been slow for me. I've not been able to do any weddings in over a month. I guess I got a little overzealous. But while you may not be ready to marry, I still hold that I think you two would make a great couple. I have never been wrong about this." Weddinmon said. Mariamon placed her hands on Weddinmon and Shortmon. Mariamon's whole body began to glow, the cross necklace shining. "Marian Intercession." Mariamon said. She healed Weddinmon's wounds.

Later….

Evander and his Digimon were back at the Kuremi Detective Agency. Evander was giving his report. "We found all of the missing persons. However, none of them are pressing charges." Evander said. "I see. Good work, Detective." Kyoko said.

Emmett and Drusilla were standing outside Kyoko Kuremi's office in the hallway. Their Digimon, Litmon and DemiDovemon, were there with them. "Well, that was a weird little adventure we went on. I never imagined an overzealous Digimon would try to make me get married." Drusilla said. "Yeah, me neither." Emmett said. Drusilla then started blushing and twirling her hair. She didn't make eye contact with Emmett. "But you know…the texts you sent me….did come off as kind of flirty." She said. Emmett looked mortified. He turned around, blushed, sweated, rubbed the back of his head, and virtually every cliche embarrassed gesture imaginable all at one time. "Well, you see…I'm just not good at conveying my feelings over the phone. Yes, I think you're amazing. You've really bounced back from that traumatic experience with your grandpa, you're immune to being burned, you're really cute, and you're a nice person, but that doesn't mean I see you as anything more than a friend!" Emmett said before giving off mega nervous laughter. "I see." Drusilla said.

The two then began walking off, headed for their homes.
