"We'll meet again....in the future," Midas opened his mouth with his tongue hanging at it's side tilting his head to look at Theos hanging on. "I for one look forward to that day," Midas closed the eye under the ear Theos nipped with the same expression. "Then we can play all we want and live in paradise with our family. One day our dreams will come true." Midas turned his head and moved to bite at Theos's wagging tail, causing Theos to fall off. Midas would miss however but climb under Theos lifting him up entirely on his back, Theos was surprisingly light. The water wishing around as a result of his movements, Kemba covered his face as the water splashed him. Kaa sat on the edge of the bath, his feet still submerged, "I'm going to hold you to that Theos, you have to make a new paradise that I can spend every day with you. I'll be upset if you don't!" Midas said rubbing his face on Theos as he rested on Midas back; Theos' head hung over next to Midas own. Kemba walked towards the two, "I'll help build that paradise, but it won't be one for Theowmon." Kemba said, Midas looked at him and tilted his head, Kaa leaped into the water and moved over towards them as well.

"It will be for our family, everyone one of us." Kemba exclaimed happily. Kaa nodded, "As King and even now as prince, I vow to make Coraggio that paradise." Midas looked over to Kaa and smiled. "I'm counting on both of you to help my son! I may be gone for a long time but our hearts will always be connected!" Midas said. Kemba chuckled, "Gone for a long time is a bit much, you will be older and won't remember but not gone." Midas gave a smile and nodded. Kaa clenched his fist, "We will help you remember! These memories will just be buried in your heart! No amount of magic can make this day go away forever!" Kaa encouraged.

Midas looked at Theos, "Geez, I have some really good genes if they're this happy to help me and you." Midas chuckled and looked over to Cole. He began to make his way over carrying Theos, "I just have to do my part here and help Cora become who he is meant to be, so you can be you." Midas turned his head and licked Theos's face from bottom to top. "I've been wanting to do that for a while. Didn't think you'd taste so good though. ha ha ha." Midas said winking, for a brief moment Midas truly felt like the father he was meant to be. It was the same sensation Theos had felt during his battle with his dark version. When his father spoke to him during his dying state. This was Midas, Theos father. Someone embodying love and care. Just being near him filled people with joy.

Cole looked over as the others were now gathered near him.

"I suppose that is enough bathing for one afternoon. It was nice having company for a change." Cole said, Cora looked at Midas and Theos together. "You guys became really good friends really quickly." Cora said, "Well they're brothers. Is it so surprising?" Cole asked. Cora forgot that they had lied to Cole, "No it's not." Cora replied. Cole stood up stretching, causing Don to look away flushed. Earning a smile and a chuckle from the nearby Ban. "Well time to go then." Cole said "You didn't get scrubbed though Cole." Cora pointed out sheepishly.

"Well, you all took the soap...I pretty much cleaned what counts." Cole responded. Kemba shook his head, "That won't do at all Cole! As your juniors, we will all pitch in and clean you!" The others looked at Kemba with only Don turning red. "I second that!" Kaa exclaimed. Ban grabbed his rag and handed on to Don who was in a nervous sweat, "Yup yup! Don and I will help!" Don opened his mouth to try and speak, "Ye...ye...ye...ye....ye.." He stuttered over and over. Midas nodded, "I'll do it!" A devilish twinkle ran in his eye, "Can I wash your naughty parts!? Fu fu fu fu fu!" Midas asked. Cole looked at him, "I'll kill you slowly and without mercy!" He said. Suddenly the two broke out into a friendly laughter, "I appreciate this guys, I'll just sit back and relax." Cole sat back down.

Midas looked at Theos, "While you're up there, you can probably reach Cole's head." He said giving a toothy smile.

Theos was surprised as he was lifted out of the water. "I'm going to hold you to that Theos, you have to make a new paradise that I can spend every day with you. I'll be upset if you don't!" Theos smiled returning the friendly rubbing of their faces, "I'll help build that paradise, but it won't be one for Theowmon." Theos smiled knowing Kembas answer.


"It will be for our family, everyone one of us." Kemba exclaimed happily. Kaa nodded, "As King and even now as prince, I vow to make Coraggio that paradise." Midas looked over to Kaa and smiled. "I'm counting on both of you to help my son! I may be gone for a long time but our hearts will always be connected!" Midas said. Kemba chuckled, "Gone for a long time is a bit much, you will be older and won't remember but not gone." Theos nodded in agreement, "We will help you remember! These memories will just be buried in your heart! No amount of magic can make this day go away forever!" Theos was grateful for such kind words from them both. He honestly didn't know how to respond.



"Geez, I have some really good genes if they're this happy to help me and you." Theos chuckled as well. It wasn't all his genes but he had to say he saw himself in Midas to a degree, "I just have to do my part here and help Cora become who he is meant to be, so you can be you." Theos one eye closed with his elongated lick a smile forming. "I've been wanting to do that for a while. Didn't think you'd taste so good though. ha ha ha." Theos rolled his eyes and rubbed his head against his fathers. Reveling in the warmth of his body. He wished and hoped his father was still the same loving person.


"I suppose that is enough bathing for one afternoon. It was nice having company for a change." Theos tail wagged. "You guys became really good friends really quickly." Cora said, "Well they're brothers. Is it so surprising?" Cole asked. Cora forgot that they had lied to Cole, "No it's not." Cora replied. Cole stood up stretching, causing Don to look away flushed. Earning a smile and a chuckle from the nearby Ban. "Well time to go then." Cole said "You didn't get scrubbed though Cole." Cora pointed out sheepishly.



"Well, you all took the soap...I pretty much cleaned what counts." Cole responded. Kemba shook his head, "That won't do at all Cole! As your juniors, we will all pitch in and clean you!" Theos looked to Don and chuckled. "I second that!" Kaa exclaimed. Ban grabbed his rag and handed on to Don who was in a nervous sweat, "Yup yup! Don and I will help!" Don opened his mouth to try and speak, "Ye...ye...ye...ye....ye.." He stuttered over and over. Midas nodded, "I'll do it!" A devilish twinkle ran in his eye, "Can I wash your naughty parts!? Fu fu fu fu fu!" Theos chuckled ready to get off at a moments notice so he could pound him, "I'll kill you slowly and without mercy!" He said. Suddenly the two broke out into a friendly laughter, "I appreciate this guys, I'll just sit back and relax." Cole sat back down.



Midas looked at Theos, "While you're up there, you can probably reach Cole's head." He said giving a toothy smile.
Theos hooves struggled to find a balance for a moment before imprinting into Midas flesh making even enough ground for him to stand. He grabbed a rag offered to him and stood on his hind legs one of his hooves resting on Coles shoulders while the other began washing him. His gaze went to the embarrassed Don and he chuckled again. There was a lot of flesh to cover so he got to work. Occasionally nearly falling in the water when he went to rinse the rag out and add more soap. He managed however and before long his section was all soaped up.

Midas smiled watching Theos steady himself on his back, ignoring the dull pain he was feeling from the hooves on his bones. Midas moved closer to Cole and began to clean his stomach. Kaa taking his left side while Kemba took the right, Cora was cleaning one of his arms and Ban was cleaning the other leaving Don contemplating Cole's back. He was hyperventilating a little as he concentrated, shaking a bit and turning red. It felt like his head was spinning as a cluster of thoughts built up in his mind. Ban watched his brother precariously from his periphery, and had a grin from ear to ear. Don began to wash much slower then everybody else which Cole took notice of, "Don't be afraid Don, dig right in, I may have scales but they are caked in dry blood and dirt and sweat. "Ri...right!" Don said then furled his lip as he began to scrub a little harder and faster. "My body feels really hot and tingly...." Don mumbled, Ban looked over, "I'm sure it's nothing." He said Don wasn't so sure, he didn't like this feeling but he couldn't prevent it either. He didn't know what this was.

"Geez Cole, you have a lot of scars." Cora said noticing the many faded wounds. Cole nodded, "I undergo very intense training that sometimes leaves me in a near dead state. I once got cut in my stomach so bad, my intestine almost spilled out. Magi had to patch me up immediately." Midas noticed the scar, "That explains this, but you have such strong armor. How do you get so wounded from training, and what kind of training do you put yourself through?" Cole chuckled.

"Well, I do about ten thousand push ups and sit ups while being weighted down by several of the royal guard to equal a thousand tons. I run the length of the desert between Bai Hu and Coraggio without stopping and I do battle against our entire legion of soldiers unarmed and blindfolded. I also monitor my meals and drink only water." Midas was sorry he asked, "Yeeeeaaaa...that is much to extreme for me." Cora seemed worried for Cole, that wasn't just something anyone could do. Don was to involved with his task at hand to pay the story any mind and Ban was to lost in thought.

Kaa wondered if he started that regiment now if he could handle it. He shook his head after determining it impossible. Kemba sighed, "I want to get stronger to but your method...." Cole laughed, "My method is mine because it works for me, everyone has their own way to get stronger and no one way is better then another. Only you know what works best for you." Cole replied. It made sense to Kemba and he felt a little bit better after. "At least we know why Midas and Cora are so strong now. They have someone like Cole as a teacher." Kaa said. "If they're strong, I have yet to notice." Cole teased.

Midas glared at Cole, "Well if you were around more we wouldn't be so weak!" Midas protested. Cole sighed, "Like I have a choice." Soon enough, Cole was filled with suds and the boys were done. Even Don who had somehow managed to help without passing out. "You all did a good job, I can almost see my reflection in my scales." Cole said jokingly. He stood up, his tail and butt just above Don's face. His eyes dilated and his mouth fell open. Don nearly passed out falling over on his back in the water. Ban watched him float by with a chuckle.

Cole stepped out of the bath making his way towards a shower head, and turning it on to wash away the suds. Midas moved over to the side and let Theos out first since he was on his back, and jumped up right after. Midas nipped at Theos's snout playfully, and then ran laughing towards the shower head. He however slipped half way and slid on his belly, head first into the wall with a thud. Cole eyed him as the water rained down on the dazed Midas, "That's what you get for running on a wet floor."

Cora flinched when he witnessed it, "Midas! Are you okay!?" He exclaimed carefully trotting over. Kemba got out as well making his way towards Theos and following him wherever he may go. "Uppsy daisy Don!" Ban said helping his brother out of the bath. Don shook his head, "What in the heck is wrong with me?" Don said sprawled out on the floor. Ban chuckled, "I dunno but it's funny." Earning a glare from Don. Kaa brushed Don's snout with the tip of his tail, "You llllllllike him!" Kaa teased, Don turned red "That's preposterous! I do not!" He exclaimed.

"Uh huh, sure you don't." Don puffed out his cheeks, "Oh like you would know how that feels! When was the last time you liked anyone?" Kaa thought about it, "Well...um...er...good point but still. You lllllliiiiiike him!" He answered. Don threw a rag which landed over Kaa's snout. "I like all of you, does that count?" Ban asked innocently. "No Ban. No it doesn't." Kaa said chuckling and walking away.

Kemba stood under the shower head, cleaning the remaining suds off of his pristine white fur. It almost seemed like it was glowing in the light, "What do you think Theos? How do I look? " Kemba said spreading out his arms the water still drizzling down his fur. Midas looked at Kemba, "Wowee....that is some nice fur. It makes me feel a little envious, my coat could never be like that. It's also the perfect length for your body to, it's very well taken care of." Cora was trying to ice the lump on Midas's head.

"I have to ask..." Cole said turning his head, "I didn't want to be rude but your relationship with Prince Theos, are you two lovers?" Cole asked. Midas snickered, "You can't tell by Theos's drool and unbreakable staring?" He said poking fun. It suddenly made sense to Cora and his face lit up at the revelation. Cole thought on that a moment, "Hmm makes sense then my theory. I thought Kemba might have actually been a girl that snuck her way into the boys bath." Kemba laughed, "I can assure you I am one hundred percent male." Cole nodded, "Well good for you two. I wish you both the best." Cole said. Kemba turned back to Theos with a smile.

"Geez Cole, you have a lot of scars." Theos looked at the one on his shoulder, "I undergo very intense training that sometimes leaves me in a near dead state. I once got cut in my stomach so bad, my intestine almost spilled out. Magi had to patch me up immediately." Midas noticed the scar, "That explains this, but you have such strong armor. How do you get so wounded from training, and what kind of training do you put yourself through?" Cole chuckled.



"Well, I do about ten thousand push ups and sit ups while being weighted down by several of the royal guard to equal a thousand tons. I run the length of the desert between Bai Hu and Coraggio without stopping and I do battle against our entire legion of soldiers unarmed and blindfolded. I also monitor my meals and drink only water." Midas was sorry he asked, "Yeeeeaaaa...that is much to extreme for me." Theos wondered how he wasn't dead yet. The digimon put himself through a lot all for his mother and country. He wondered how she felt about it.


"I want to get stronger to but your method...." Cole laughed, "My method is mine because it works for me, everyone has their own way to get stronger and no one way is better then another. Only you know what works best for you." Cole replied. It made sense to Kemba and he felt a little bit better after. "At least we know why Midas and Cora are so strong now. They have someone like Cole as a teacher." Kaa said. "If they're strong, I have yet to notice." Cole teased.



Midas glared at Cole, "Well if you were around more we wouldn't be so weak!" Midas protested. Cole sighed, "Like I have a choice." Theos smiled at the pair. "You all did a good job, I can almost see my reflection in my scales." 


Theos hopped off Midas back as he was brought up to the rim and nipped back playfully as he got out of the water. Theos followed him at a sure footed lope as he ran. Theos shook his head with a wince as he tripped and slid, "That's what you get for running on a wet floor."



Theos chuckled. If he knew Midas he was just fine though he was starting to wonder if in the future he might have brain damage. He seemed to hit his head a lot, "Midas! Are you okay!?" Theos followed to check on him. 


"What do you think Theos? How do I look? " Theos chuckled and walked over to Kemba, "Wowee....that is some nice fur. It makes me feel a little envious, my coat could never be like that. It's also the perfect length for your body to, it's very well taken care of."


"I have to ask..." Cole said turning his head, "I didn't want to be rude but your relationship with Prince Theos, are you two lovers?" Cole asked. Midas snickered, "You can't tell by Theos's drool and unbreakable staring?" Theos chuckled at his teasing, "Hmm makes sense then my theory. I thought Kemba might have actually been a girl that snuck her way into the boys bath." Kemba laughed, "I can assure you I am one hundred percent male." Cole nodded, "Well good for you two. I wish you both the best." Theos smiled and imagined Kemba in a dress. He guessed he would appear a bit feminine in the eyes of scaled digimon.

He let the shower rinse him off as well then stepped out shaking a bit. "As beautiful as ever Princess Kemba," Theos teased as he stepped out as well. 

"As beautiful as ever Princess Kemba," Kemba pouted at Theos teasing, "It's not my fault my fur is like this...maybe I just won't clean it anymore so I stop looking so girly." Kemba crossed his arms as he walked towards the towels. Midas chuckled walking to Theos side, "Aw, you made him mad." Cora followed after, "I don't think he's girly..." Cora said. The others moved towards the towels to, Kemba was still pouting as he tried to dry his soaked body. It seemed the towel was a lot less effective than King Cora. Midas helped Cora dry; humming as he did so. The triplets each assisting the other in a circle, it was obvious they had done this before.

Cole however did not use a towel, he simply put on his armor and looked entirely different from a moment ago. The last piece being his helmet which he locked into his head, "Aren't you worried about soggy armor?" Don asked, feeling a lot better now that Cole was armored up. Cole shook his head, "No. I have power over thermal energy that I can channel through these gauntlets. I can dry immediately as a result." Cole answered. He reached behind a locker and pulled out his trident blade and placed it vertically on his back. "I appreciate the time you all took to spend with me and it was a pleasure getting to know you all. Now it is time for my nightly duties so I will depart. Until the day we meet again, farewell my friends." Cole bowed then turned walking towards the exit.

The triplets waved as he left, "There goes your dragon knight in shining armor!" Kaa said. Don punched Kaa in the arm and caused Kaa to laugh alongside Ban. "I hope Cole does well..." Cora said now drying Midas, who sat and let his friend go to work. "Yea...I'm sure he will be..." Midas said with a bit of sadness hinted in his voice. Kemba noticed Theos and turned his back to him, "Princess Kemba...huh?" Kemba said sourly. "Should I ask Magi to make me into a girl for you?" Kemba asked, he was trying to get a rise out of his mate. He wasn't mad at Theos, but Theos didn't need to know that yet. Kemba was also drying just his head, his body was still very much dripping wet. His mane did have the most fur so it made sense to spend so much time on it.

"It's not my fault my fur is like this...maybe I just won't clean it anymore so I stop looking so girly." Theos smiled following Kemba and grabbing a towel as well. He tossed it over his shoulders, "Aw, you made him mad." Cora followed after, "I don't think he's girly..."


"Aren't you worried about soggy armor?" Don asked, feeling a lot better now that Cole was armored up. Cole shook his head, "No. I have power over thermal energy that I can channel through these gauntlets. I can dry immediately as a result." Cole answered. He reached behind a locker and pulled out his trident blade and placed it vertically on his back. "I appreciate the time you all took to spend with me and it was a pleasure getting to know you all. Now it is time for my nightly duties so I will depart. Until the day we meet again, farewell my friends."

"See ya," Theos called after him.


"There goes your dragon knight in shining armor!" Kaa said. Don punched Kaa in the arm and caused Kaa to laugh alongside Ban. "I hope Cole does well..." Cora said now drying Midas, who sat and let his friend go to work. "Yea...I'm sure he will be..." He was really close to Cole huh, "Princess Kemba...huh?" Kemba said sourly. "Should I ask Magi to make me into a girl for you?" Theos smiled at his still sour mate.

He grabbed another towel and started to help him dry off from the back. When he would remove the towel from his head Theos would lean in giving him a kiss on the cheek his chest pressing against his back. "I love you just the way you are," Theos said resting his head on his shoulder a moment. "Even if you turned into a girl," he teased once more

"I love you just the way you are," Kemba smiled with a purr, letting Theos finish off the drying. He turned and threw his towel over Theos and returned the favor. "Just so you know, I would never want to be a girl. You'd miss this version of me to much." Kemba said with a wink. "Oi, lovermons, lets go! We're getting out of this place!" Midas called. Kemba sighed and looked over to his armor, "One second, I'm not going out there in my birthday suit." He said dressing himself.

They entered the hallway and started for Midas's room. Cora yawned, "It's already dark outside..." He said, Midas frowned "Yes it is Cora." He looked over to the group, "It's just about time you all headed back isn't it?" Midas asked. Kaa nodded, "Yes very soon now." They had passed by a mirror on their way and could see Magi on the other end faintly. "This was such a fun day, it's so hard to see it end." Ban added, he placed a finger on his chin though. "Oddly, I couldn't even tell time went by and I'm not the least bit tired too." Midas chuckled, "You have to much energy, even for me." Ban chuckled.

Cora moved over to Midas, nuzzling him sleepily. He had expelled a lot of energy then he was used to today, "Hey Midas...can we all have a sleepover in your room?" Cora asked with his eyes half shut. "Of course we can Cora. We will head there now." Cora chuckled, practically leaning against Midas to assist his walking. Midas closed the eye that Cora was leaning against and smiled, "It's....gonna be fun.." Cora whispered. "Oi oi, no falling asleep, there is no way I can carry you." Midas said. Cora perked up, "Sorry...you're just so comfortable Midas." Midas laughed, "And you're comfortable to."

Kemba crossed his arms, "Is there a way to get back to our realm from your room?" Midas nodded, Cora was much to out of it to understand or rather care about what Kemba meant. Midas nodded, "I own a mirror. Magi gave me one as a gift for my birthday last year." Midas sounded a bit different. A softness in his voice, "Today was really the best." Midas said heading for his room.
