Ah, summer days, baby. Everyone hustling and bustling, having fun out in the sun. Even the usually stationary Dante and Wormmon are out and about for a change. The two buds have gone out shopping, getting ready for a big barbeque. Wormmon is wearing his holosuit, taking the form of a young woman with green hair. As they stroll down the aisles, Wormmon continues throwing tons of junk food into the cart. "What do we need all this for?" "You can never have enough food, Dante! Mmm, sour cream chips, chocolate covered rice balls, gasp, ooh! Chocolate nut clusters!"
Normally, Dante would be irritated with Wormmon's off the wall attitude, but this time it's different. All Dante can think about is his brand new, top of the land propane grill. Dante closes his eyes and pictures the barbeque... clear blue sky, all his friends gathered around the back patio, music playing, an above ground pool set up, and Dante alone at his new grill. He can smell the bacon cheeseburgers already. Dante and Wormmon wrap it up at the store, and head back home. "Man, this is gonna be the best barbeque ever! Maybe in all of Japan." "I don't think they throw barbeques in Japan that often. At least, not like traditional American ones."
Dante and Wormmon start unloading groceries and carrying them into the house. Judith is out back setting up red, white and blue decorations in the back yard. After unloading the groceries, Dante pours some lemonade for the gang, and he and Wormmon join Judith out back. "Hey guys. What do you think of the decorations?" "It looks great! This barbeque is going to be awesome!" "Wow, it's usually Wormmon who gets all excited about things." "Can you blame me? I having been dreaming about this day for years. I'm going to grill up so many burgers..." "Mmm, yes lots and lots of burgers!"
Wormmon deactivates his holosuit, and crawls up on the table. Judith takes a sip of lemonade and wipes the sweat off her forehead. "Oh Goddess, it's so freaking hot out. Can't wait to cool off in our new pool." "Hey, so what's with all the red and blue stuff?" "Have you ever heard of the 4th of July? It's the celebration of America's birthday. Even though the date is highly debated." "Ya, well we are in Japan! Screw your 4th of July garbage!" Judith goes inside and grabs some mini Japan flags and sets them on the table. "There. Happy Japanese 4th of July." "Hey, as long as there's cheeseburgers, you can hang your underwear up for all I care." Judith picks Wormmon up, and throws him into the pool. "Hey, what are you- WEEEEEEEEEEEE! Ahh COLD COLD COLD!" Wormmon swims to the side and crawls out. "Very funny, little miss princess... fat ass..."

Looks like the Palladino household is getting ready for one special barbeque. It won't be long until the guests start arriving. Dante goes back inside to tidy up the living room. Putting away all the video games Wormmon left laying out, and recycling lots of beer bottles and soda cans. Suddenly there's a loud knock at the door. Dante walks over and opens it. A young woman with jet black hair pulled back into pigtails rushes in and tackles Dante to the ground.
The vicious woman wraps her arm around Dante's neck, putting him in a dragon sleeper submission hold. "Tap out, Dante! TAP OUT!" Dante smacks the floor with his hand three times. "Now say you're my bitch!" "Come on, that's enough!" The woman lets go. Dante slowly gets up and dusts himself off. The woman stands there with her hands on her hips and a coy smile. She is wearing a red cutoff top, white shorts, with a red rose above her left ear, long black socks, and red and black wrestling boots. "Ko-knee-chihuahua, cousin!" "I don't think you said that right. I'm surprised to see you, Roxanne. How have you been?"
Roxanne punches her palm. "Oh, ya know, the usual. Making stupid skanks tap out in the ring. They just can't stack up to the daughter of the Iron Dragon, ya know." "Yes, I know. How's uncle Brian been?" "Probably training some poor saps. He's getting too old to compete himself, and wants to pass down his legacy to a new generation. I guess being the Iron Maiden isn't enough for him, at least not until they let me start fighting the men! Haha ha ha!" Dante's family has a legendary history of competitive fighting.
Judith comes walking inside. She sees Roxanne and hurries over to give her a big hug. "Hey Judith! Any men causing you trouble?" "No, well, just Dante. Ahahaha!" "Well I already laid the smackdown on him, but I can go another round." "That won't be necessary! How come Judith gets a hug, and I get my butt kicked?" "Because you're a whiny twig boy. Ah haa haha haaaa!" Well this reunion was off to a rocky start, at least for Dante. "Come on, let's go check out the patio."
Dante remembers Wormmon is outside. There's no way Roxanne can find out about the Worm King. If she does, she might tell his parents, and he really doesn't want to explain that he's been slacking on his studies to go to some virtual world full of monsters fighting. Judith and Roxanne are walking towards the sliding glass door. Dante hurries over and blocks their path. "Hold on a sec, Roxanne just got here. How about a tour first? There's something I need to check on outside first." It takes a little while, but Judith realizes they have to keep Wormmon a secret. "Oh, yes of course. Let me show you my new coffee pot. It was a gift from Kano, before I broke up with his sorry butt." "Men, haha ha ha!"
Roxanne and Judith head into the kitchen. (Totally not because women belong in the kitchen, of course! Hey, a girl kicked Dante's butt. If anything I think we've still scored some points for equality.) Dante heads outside to talk to Wormmon. "Hey little buddy, listen, my cousin is here, and we can't let her find out about you." "What? But I thought all our guests know about Digimon." "Well Judith invited her, she could have given me a head's up. Looks like you'll have to stay in your holosuit form for now." "Aww man, that form is nice, but I really wanted to kick back and relax as my good ole worm side." "Don't worry, I'll add extra bacon and cheese on your burgers."

Wormmon activates his holosuit to disguise himself. Judith and Roxanne come walking outside with cups of coffee. "Roxanne, I would like you to meet my friend, Willow." Wormmon is taken back by how stunning Roxanne looks. "Wow! Hiya Roxanne! Hey Dante, are all the women in your family this hot?" "Oh, why thanks, Willow! You didn't tell me that you had a girlfriend, Dante." "Eh? No, she's not my-" "Oh, it's okay cuz! You don't have to be embarrassed." "Ya, Dante's always embarrassed about me. Probably because he's such a tightwad."
Dante notices Shirou's limo coming around the corner. "Oh, Shirou's here! Roxanne, you might want to keep your distance. He can be a bit, pervy." "A bit?!" Dante goes inside and heads to the front door to greet Shirou. Wormmon's distracted, looking down Roxanne's top. Shirou walks in the door, wearing a light blue collared shirt with tan shorts. Dante can tell that he's applied an insane amount of sunscreen to protect his pale white skin from sunlight. "Hey Shirou! What have you been up to lately?"
Shirou is excited to see Dante, and not his usual loner self today. "Oh, I've been keeping busy with so many side projects. I just started working on a new computer program designed to detect viruses. I've also created a device that allows the user to spirit evolve similar to that of a spirit user, but right now it's a one time use. But mostly I've been preoccupied making new mods for Dragon Slayer 4000." "Ah, glad to see your priorities are in check." "Aha, oh Dante, your sarcastic quips always amuse me. Come on, let's start partying!" Shirou heads towards the back patio. (Thinking) "That's strange! Shirou's not acting like himself at all. Maybe he's up to something..."
Dante and Shirou head out back to hang out with the girls. "Hey Shirou, glad you could make it! This is our cousin, Roxanne." Shirou looks at Roxanne, adjusting his glasses. "You mean your cousin is THE Roxanne Mason? The Iron Maiden herself? That's great! Roxanne, it's so nice to meet you." "Oh, it's always a pleasure to meet a fan!" "What kind of shampoo do you use? Do you wear underwear underneath your ring gear? How do you keep your skin so soft and smooth?" (Thinking) "Okay, this is more like good ole Shirou now." "Uhh, you're starting to creep me out now."
The five party goers start having a good time. Dante is busy manning the grill. True to his word, he goes all out on Wormmon's burgers. Both Wormmon and Shirou are enthralled by Roxanne, practically drooling over her. Dante finishes a batch of burgers and sets them down on the table. "That's strange, I thought more people would be here by now." "That's okay. I'd rather keep things small anyway." Everyone starts digging in. "Oh my Goddess, Dante! These burgers are so wonderful... amazing... fantastic... they're fan-der-zing!" "That's not a word, but I definitely agree."
"Once we finish eating, you ladies want to hit the pool?" "Are you clueless? You can't swim right after eating." "The pool is like four feet deep. I think that whole getting cramps swimming after eating thing is just an old wive's tale." "Ya, it's fake news! Come on, let's go change into our bikinis." Judith, Roxanne, and Wormmon finish their burgers and bring the plates inside, before going upstairs to change. "Lucky fella. Your sister is hot, your cousin is gorgeous..." "Like that does me any good. I can't even remember the last time I saw an eligible bachelorette." "You never told me your cousin is Roxanne Mason." "Did I have to? Just another family member trying to show me up. Her dad and my dad fought like cats and dogs. One minute they are rivals, the next allies." "Kind of like us..." "Don't tell me you're planning something I wouldn't approve of." "Of course not. Except trying to get into your cousin's bikini." "Wait, wha?!"
(Continued. With Shirou acting odd, Roxanne in town, and having to keep Wormmon's identity secret, this Japanese 4th of July party can only head south from here.)

The ladies (and King Wormmon) come downstairs in skimpy bikinis. Judith wearing yellow, Roxanne wearing red, and Willow wearing green. Shirou tries to stop himself from letting his jaw drop to the floor, but is unsuccessful. (Thinking) "Would you keep yourself together, Shirou?" "Alright, who's ready to hit the pool, you guys?" Dante and Shirou get changed and the gang gets in the pool. Roxanne and Willow start roughhousing around. It's not long before both of them are trying to dunk Shirou and Dante underwater.
They goof off in the pool for a while, splashing around and playing games. The water starts to affect Willow's holosuit. While playing marco polo, Shirou grabs Roxanne and uses her as a shield, and she gets tagged by Wormmon. "Hey! Get your hands off me!" Roxanne grabs Shirou and slams him against the side of the pool. The fabric tears, and the pool bursts open. Water gushes out, spilling onto the sun dried lawn. "Ahh the pool! Whyyyy?!!!" "Way to go, Roxanne!" "That creep started it."
Everyone gets up and walks back to the patio. "I've had enough of this. No more grabby hands!" "I was only trying to gain a competitive advantage..." Roxanne turns to Dante and Judith. "This is the kind of company you keep? Just what have you two been doing in Japan?" Willow's holosuit starts glitching out, and the Worm King reverts back to Wormmon. "Bwaaah-haaawh! What is that thing?!" "Uh oh..." "Roxanne, it's alright. Just calm down." "Roxanne, I would have told you, but..." "Look, this is way too awkward. I'm telling my dad, and he will tell your dad, and you will get in major trouble!"
"What do ya mean, trouble? Ain't cha ever seen a Digimon before? And I'm one of the best!" "I'll explain. You see, there's these things called Digital monsters, and-" "I don't wanna know. Either way, you're getting into trouble. Maybe your parents will even cut off your funds." "No! Then who will buy me super delicious frosty milkshakes?!" "Isn't there another way out of this?" "Well..."
*20 minutes later* Roxanne, Judith, and Wormmon are all laying back, relaxing on some folding chairs in the lawn. Dante and Shirou walk over carrying trays of food. "Here are your cakes and milkshakes, ladies. Will that be all for today?" Roxanne takes a sip from her milkshake. "Nope. You've got to give me 10 of your videogames." "And you have to vacuum the house and wash the windows for a month." "Ya! Haha!" "Shut up, sellout. You're the whole reason we're in this mess, why aren't you being punished?" "Because I said so. Now dance, monkeys! DANCE!" Dante and Shirou dance around like morons while Roxanne and Judith shoot them with water guns. "I'm really glad you came to town, cuz." "Ya. We should do this more often." "This is the best Fourth of Japan day ever!"
--------------------------------- Changed my mind about the ending, but still got it gone just in time. Bits please.
