"Oh I never said now," Edward mused thoughtfully. He felt that his sister was being melodramatic about the whole kids thing, but he kept quiet about it. "But some day . . . Anyway, it's not like I have many options right now. Alex is firewalled, and who knows what Liana's up to. I'm kind of stuck."

Elise stood with her husband, smiling slightly, because she knew that once they were off the airship, Edward and Shawn were going to make their announcement. She was kind of looking forward to her husband's little freakout that was surely to come.

Floramon smiled at Ben's proclamation that he couldn't wait to go outside and hopefully explore with Sam. It was sweet how one by one their members were beginning to pair off. She found herself gazing around the room, as though in search of a suitable mate for herself. She could only have the best. No drunkards like Edward, no neurotics like Jewels.

Lucifer bolted for Gabriel when he spilled into the room. The God of Faith was in his LordHolyAngemon form, and two of them looked quite cute together in Lucifer's giddy embrace.

Piemon, with no one to love him, went straight for the door and began to undo the hatches. He was grinning as he opened them one by one, and then, once he'd pulled it aside, revealing the beautiful island they'd landed on, pronounced, "Last one off the airship's a flaming pile of Grandraccie doodie!"

Kiyomi bolted out the door, and Piemon followed her straight away, jumping on the railing, and sliding down to the bottom, god of party's style.

[Airdra]

Sam had no idea what the big rush with having kids was. She felt she was way, way too young for having kids, and it wasn't like Edward was that much older than she. "No need to rush it."

Mattias figured Elise was smiling just because they were going to hit solid ground again, and he gallantly offered her his arm to take so that he could escort her out. He'd be glad for the fresh air.

Jewels stared after Piemon and his proclamation. That, especially Kiyomi's rush outside, had made Mira particularly squirmy.

"Oh, just let her go already," Kunemon said, tsk-ing as she hopped back on Jewels's shoulder. "Piemon's out there, for crying out loud." The god might have been nuts, but she could think of worse babysitters for a few seconds.

Reluctantly, Jewels let go.

"Yay!" Mira zipped outside as quickly as she could, flying over peoples' heads in her quest to get to the door.

[ShadowCat]

Looking over at the flower digimon Shawn hoped that Floramon was right. A paradise is just what they needed at the moment. Glancing over at Ed he wondered if the blonde shared his thoughts on this being a wonderful place to have their wedding. Maybe not the perfect place, if it had been possible he’d have liked to do it at Ed’s home or maybe even at Lucemon’s palace, but really anywhere they could do this safely was good enough for Shawn.

Ben's comment about wanting to go explore with Sam brought his eyes back to the younger boy and he felt a little amused at what he thought was happening between them. He’d not been around the others a lot but even so had noticed the two had been together a lot. Piemon’s sudden rush to the door and announcement of what the last off would be drew his thoughts way from to two younger chosen. A made a real grin appear on his face as he watched as first Kiyomi and then Mira were flying out the door.

“I don’t know about you guys, but that’s the last thing I’d want to be.” Shawn informed them, though didn’t immediately run for the door. Instead he looked over at Ed wondered if he might want to head out together so they could inform everyone of the news, or maybe ever say now before everyone got out and scattered.

“Ed?” He called over to the blonde hoping he’d understand his questioning look.


’…Eww.’ Lionessmon thought wrinkling her nose at Piemon. She wasn’t put off though; in fact she found the energy in the room a little catching. So in good spirit she started for the door after her daughter.

Elecmon though decided to wait a little before heading to the door. He had no desire to be caught up in the rush and wouldn’t care too much it he was the last out. Not that he didn’t find what Piemon was doing to be a bit entertaining, just wasn’t one to rush off like that.

Alex’s reaction was almost identical as Lionessmon’s though. The red haired girl thought, ’That’s gross.’ and as she didn’t want to be called a ‘flaming pile of Grandraccie doodie’ hurried towards the door as well. She paused though when she heard Shawn call over to Ed for a moment. She kind of wished for him to want to exit with her as well (that’s what she assumed he wanted anyway), but still felt guilty over what she’d done.

[Alison]

Wizarmon smiled as Mira declared what she wanted to do any why not? The bee was a child afterall. She was distracted for a moment by Lucifer heading straight at Gabriel, that was until Piemon came to the door, it was nearly time to get off this thing. She gave a huge smirk at the god's humour and Kiyomi dashing past. Mira being not far behind her.

Wizarmon spotted Lionessmon and Alex start to head for the door, the latter pausing on the way. That was enough time for Wizarmon to get out next and down the stairs into the outside and give a "Wooo Yea!" style call as she stretched out. "Open space and fresh air, not much can beat it."

It appeared that Floramon was satisfied with his reply and it made Ben feel a little warm. He craned his head a little towards Piemon has he made his statement, leave it to Piemon to come out with something colourful! Ben turned his attention back to Shawn, noticing the boy had grin on his face.

Being the last one out wasn't sounding all that appealing to Ben and he had to agree with Shawn. As the boy called to Ed, Ben looked towards the siblings once more. Ben had his hands in pockets and his gaze set onto Sam. Indicating that he was waiting for the girl to be finished. Yet not quite wanting to interupt in case they were not finished.

Fang couldn't help but give a small snort at Piemon's statement and at how the younger members of the group had dashed outside after the god, followed by the not so younger Wizarmon go figure for her. He slipped off the couch and glanced towards Ben, it was clear that the boy would not be going just yet. Miles saw it as well, the man looking down to Fang as he stood.

"C'mon," Miles nodded towards the door. "Let's leave them in peace a little bit."

As they progressed, Miles saw Alex looking back towards the boys, Floramon and Sam. He had to wonder what the girl was thinking, for her to be looking back as such. Still if there was a problem with it, Miles believed that the girl may have mentioned it by now.

"At this rate we're may end up being the last off here," he smiled to the girl as Fang went ahead and outside.

[Qu33n0f1c3]

No need to rush it? What was Sam talking about? Edward had had almost a hundred years to be thinking about a want for kids. He wasn't rushing anything. He legitimately felt he was ready.

But now Shawn had called his name, and he found himself looking toward the man. Yes, going out together was probably a good idea.

He could also see the way Ben was looking at his sister. He smiled.

"Gotta fly," Edward murmured to Samantha. "We'll be making the announcement out there, so keep your ears peeled, flower girl. Oh, and don't keep your boyfriend waiting. He looks kind of eager."

Edward pushed away from the couch and started toward Shawn.

[Airdra]

Everyone was starting to exit the blimp. Mira had darted outside and Jewels with Kunemon perched on his shoulder was following suit, though several of the others got out before he did.

Shawn was calling for Edward now, and, more importantly, Ben was smiling at Sam. She automatically returned his smile with a grin of her own. She was about to head over to him, heedless of however Edward responded to her statement, when he told her they'd be making the announcement. That stopped her for a moment. "Yeah, I'll be waiting..." And she might have said something else, but hearing Ed call Ben her boyfriend and commenting that Ben looked eager made her feel both a little embarrassed and irritated with Ed for picking at her, as well as pretty darn proud, to wondering if she and Ben had even made it that far yet. She just sort of nodded and smiled a little smile at that last comment there before Edward was gone.

Once Edward had headed off towards Shawn, Sam wasted no time in leaving the couch herself, heading over to Ben. "Looking forward to seeing what it's like out there?" She wouldn't have minded holding hands on the way out there, but could he take a hint? How did one go about making that sort of hint, anyway?

[Alison]

Ben was happy that the siblings had finished their talk and with Edward on the way to Shawn, that mean Sam would hopefully follow suit. It didn't take long for her to head on over after grinning. Ben nodded after Sam had spoken, he really did want to see what it was like.

"I can't wait," he smiled back, before whispering in her ear with a slight laugh. "We may want to hurry so that we are not the last out and be the butt of Piemon's teasing!" Pulling his head back, he gave a huge grin before giving a nod towards the door, indicating that they should go.

Wizarmon was still feeling a little energetic when Fang and Miles decended the stairs. It was hard for her not to be in good spirits after getting off the airship. Fang had to admit that it was a good feeling. This really was a beautiful place and it was thanks to Piemon and Sam that they had gotten here alive to see it. It was amazing that such a place was in existance in Grandracmon's rule.

Miles was a little taken a back by the beauty of what he saw. It was a similar feeling to what he had thought when he had been in the valley, except it was more quiet. But this time he was actually alive to enjoy the feeling more. He took a big deep breath and gave a contented sigh.

Wizarmon was now not far from Mira, the wizard looking between her and the door, wondering who the last person out was going to be.

[Airdra]

Ben hadn't taken her hand, sadly. Sam knew she'd have other chances on the island, and, besides, there was a lot going on at the moment. That he hadn't picked up on it was understandable.

Sam had to laugh at Ben's not wanting to be the butt of Piemon's doodie joke. She was also pretty pleased with the whispered way he'd delivered it. She liked that, a joke just for her. It almost made up for his not taking her hand. "You and me both." She returned his grin with one of her own and eagerly followed after him, heading outside. "Wow," she said once they were out there, "Would you just look at it?" It was lovelier than she could have imagined, and she drew a little closer to Ben as she admired the scenery.

Mira was buzzing wildly around the area, yelling excitedly in the manner of a small child who has just woken up on Christmas morning and discovered that Santa actually came. Jewels was watching her carefully, as though he might step in if she tried to fly too high or too far away. Kunemon just seemed content to be away from the omnipresent noise of the airship's motor. She hadn't minded being in a cavelike situation the way some of the others had, but she knew she was in the minority on that.

[Alison]

Sam had seemingly liked his joke and it made Ben feel good. But not as good as he felt once they were both outside. The view was certainly something and Sam drawing a little closer to him was something else. Still this was a moment to take in the surroundings more than anything else. It just seemed so peaceful, calming and safe. Floramon had been right with what she had said, this was a paradise.

"Hard to believe that we've made it to a place like this alive," Ben mused. "It's almost perfect and we're not the last ones out!" With a smirk he started to head down the stairs where he saw his father waiting.

Wizarmon's gaze had settled on Sam and Ben as they left the airship and her face dropped a little. Ben wasn't the last one out, that had meant that some of the fun had been sucked out if Piemon's joke, because she would have been teasing the boy a little.

Miles had initially not seen Ben and Sam come out, he had his eye on Wizarmon a little. The way she had been looking up at the door was an indicator she was up to something. As her face had dropped, Miles looked up. There they were together again and Sam was getting closer. Whatever they were saying he couldn't hear, so he moved foward to near the stairs, waiting for them to come down.

Ben reached the bottom first, giving a smile to his dad. Before turning around to wait for the girl to follow.

[Airdra]

Sam chuckled a little at Ben's continued happiness that they weren't the last ones out. She was more concerned with the island itself...and Ben, of course. "Yeah, it's amazing." It felt like it had been ages since she'd been able to step outside in the sun and feel perfectly safe like this.

She made her own way down the ramp; Ben beat her down, and Miles was waiting on his son. Sam offered a smile and a wave of her own to Ben's father as she walked to the bottom, though the smile wasn't quite like the ones she'd been giving Ben as of late. She moved out of the way of the ramp so that others could get down, but she was still pretty close to Ben.

Mira, who had released a great deal of pent-up energy and excitement in her initial wild loops of the area, was still buzzing around, albeit a little more quietly than she had been in those initial few minutes. "Let's go exploring!" The call was directed to no one in particular; she was still quite giddy. "I wanna go exploring!"

"Not now," Jewels called. "Let's see what's what first."

"How are we going to know what's what without going to see what everything here is?!"

[ShadowCat]

Feeling a bit excited Shawn watched as Ed got up off the couch and come towards him. His sister came this way too but he didn’t pay all that much attention to what she and Ben were saying as they headed outside. His interest was on the blonde heading towards him. Taking in Ed’s appearance again Shawn gave him an amused look, “Were you so excited to start the day this morning that you didn’t even take the time to fix your hair?"

Shawn wouldn’t blame him if that was the case. He might have rushed out here before getting dressed if he’d know Ed had.


Alex didn’t watch the two men for long before she started for the door again and slipped out after Ben and Sam. Once she was outside her worries about Ed, Shawn, and really changing were replaced with wonder for the place they’d arrived at.

It was beautiful and peaceful. In some ways she felt a bit bad about having come here. The place just seemed like it shouldn’t be disturbed to her. The feeling wasn’t very strong though and the feelings of being some place they would be safe made here not feel guilty.

Outside as well now Lionessmon was looking around much like the others. Her sharp ears picked up Ben and Sam talking about what they thought of the place and she agreed with there thoughts. The place reminded her a great deal of the Valley of the dead, with just a bit more of a feeling of it being a place few saw.

[Qu33n0f1c3]

"It doesn't look that bad," Edward responded tersely to Shawn's teasing question. He observed the other man a moment, searching in his eyes, then rose his hand to his head defensively and attempted to smooth it out. "Okay so it's bad. Blame Dalus. You know how he is . . . He pounced me, the little devil! Right on my stomach. Knocked the wind right out of me." Edward paused a moment in the petting of his hair to glare at the offending digimon, who grinned sheepishly and promptly bounded out of the airship and down the stairs.

Kiyomi could see how excitedly Mira was bounding about. That only made her even more excited. She was itching to touch down on the ground and sink her paws into the soft looking soil, but it seemed like such a thing would be horribly sinful. The place was so pure and holy. It just had this special aura. She felt like if she touched anything she would ruin its beauty.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Mira, who was keen on exploring. "Hey, yeah, let's go exploring!" she cried in return, zipping toward the female child. "Double hey! Let's get Dalus to come with us! He loves exploring!"

[ShadowCat]

Shawn couldn’t help it, he found Ed’s response to him teasing about his hair amusing and while he tried not to start laughing out right his eyes did show how he was feeling. When Ed blamed it on Dalus he looked over at the grinning fox as well, who promptly fled though the open door. He quite honestly could see the fox jumping on someone to wake them up.

“I don’t remember saying it was looking bad.” Shawn said looking back at Ed. Leaning a little closer he dropped his voice, “Just that I wondered if you were so excited today was the day you’d marry me again that you were in a rust.” Reaching forward to help the blond in his effort to tame his hair Shawn, careful of knots, started to run a hand though it himself.

"I wouldn't have blamed you if you had. I feel excited too for today." 'And nervous.' He added in his mind.

[blueRena]

Tailmon absolutely refused to be the butt of any joke. She darted out of the door as fast as she was able to. The assault of fresh air and sunlight hitting her body caused the cat to let out a heavy, pleased breath. The scenery was stunning. Finding herself a nice little spot in the sun, she curled up and purred contentedly to herself.

Leah had waited to take her leave of the aircraft, following after Alex. She blinked a few times, trying to fully take in her surroundings. It really was a nice place to have stopped at. In fact, Leah wasn't sure she'd rather be anywhere else at the moment. The area just seemed so calm and peaceful. She chuckled as Mira and Kiyomi talked about exploring and the latter seemed keen on involving Dalus in the exploration.

"You're not the last one out, are you?"

"No," Leah answered, smirking at her partner who was flicking her tail lazily and had one eye on the woman. "Blake and Avia were behind me."

At that moment, Avia and Blake were making their way down the ramp, whispering back and forth. Avia appeared to be pleased, with Blake looking confused but at least a little more awake than he had as of yet. Probably because he was now busy with the task of complaining to Avia on the matter of their exit of the airship.

"That's not fair. I didn't even hear that. You can't just... you can't just lead me to the door like that, then rush ahead of me so I'm the last one out when it means I'm some sorta Digi-doodie! Who even said that? What if they don't let me live it down?"

[Alison]

Miles gave Sam a nod as the girl smiled and waved at him. It looked like the girl wanted to be with Ben once more she was close to him afterall. So he decided to not interupt them. He had seen Alex follow them down and gave a nod to the girl.

Wizarmon was watching Kiyomi and Mira getting excited. She couldn't help but chuckle as Kiyomi suggested that Dalus go with them. The Digimon hadn't proven himself to be a threat as they had first though. She really did like the idea of exploring, but she also wanted to relax a little as well and from looking around this place, there was going to be time to do it.

Fang had sat himself down to watch what was going off around him. Everything seemed so perfect more or less so he was less on his guard than normal. Watching the two children getting excited reminded him of how he used to play around with other Digimon. There were times in which he missed that, but things had progressed and it had been dangerous to really have proper fun like that. Well until now, there was always a chance to just open up here.

Ben of course had stopped with Sam. He had seen Tailmon head out and curl up in the grass. Typical cat like behaviour that he thought was rather sweet for the Digimon.

"So what do you want to do here?" Ben asked Sam looking to the girl. "If you want to go exploring we can do. Or would you rather sit around and just take it all in? Or anything else that comes to mind really."

Ben didn't care what they were to do, as long as it was with Sam.
