1. (Can You Feel the Love Tonight?)

ooo Taka's POV ooo

Mike and I were getting ready to go out. Mike was wearing a white tuxedo with black shoes, while he was helping me put on a sterling silver collar I only wear on special occasions; as tonight was one of them. Tonight was the anniversary of when Luna and I first became friends. Coincidently enough, it was also the same day Mike and Edwardia first became lovers in high school.

Mike gently snapped my collar into place. "There you go, Taka." He said, standing back to take a better look. "You know, you look pretty good in that collar mom gave you last year."

I smirked. "Thanks; you're not so bad yourself." I leapt off the bed as Mike went over to the dresser. He then pulled out two boxes from one of the drawers, which were our gifts to them.

"Don't want to forget these..." He tossed Luna's to me.

I looked inside for what was like the umpteenth time; I had personally chosen Luna's gift myself, in preparation for something special. Then at that moment, a dreamful smile graced my lips as the thought of Luna occurred in my mind. Her gorgeous fur as white as the purest snow, her beautiful eyes as blue as the sky on a cloudless day-

"Hello! Taka! Can you hear me in there!" Mike yelled; snapping his fingers in my face, breaking me out of my trance. I shook my head.

"Oh; sorry about that...I kinda zoned out back there..." He smiled at me.

"I understand...thinking about Luna again?" Almost immediately, I flushed a deep crimson; it was as if he read my mind...I nodded softly as he continued.

"Look; I know you're nervous about this, Taka, but the only way to face your fears is to face them head-on."

I sighed. "I know, but I'm not sure if she feels the same way I do...I mean, it's like every time I try to tell her... (sigh) I don't know, it's like-."

"Your throat dries up and you can't speak?" Mike finished for me.

I nodded. "Yeah; and it feels like..."

"A million butterflies are flying around in your stomach and you just clam up?" My ears perked up.

"Yeah-that's it exactly-!" I looked at him, astonished. "Man...how do you do that?" he shrugged and chuckled to himself.

"I don't know; maybe it's 'cause I felt the same way once before..." he finished smirking.

I glared at him. "Ha ha; very funny..."

"Mike, Taka! Your dates are here!" Mike's mom suddenly called from downstairs. We quickly got to our feet.

"It's showtime. Let's go, pal." Mike said as he left the room.

I hesitated a bit. '(gulp) Yeah; I just hope I don't screw things up tonight...' I though before I followed him down to the living room, but not before hiding Luna's present in a secret compartment in my collar.

The twosome was waiting for us. Edwardia was wearing a shimmering sapphire dress and white heeled shoes, while Luna was wearing a special pair of matching gloves; and around her neck was a white gold necklace that blended in beautifully with her fur.

"Wow...you guys look great!" I said with a smile.

"Yeah, totally." Mike replied. They looked at us, blushing lightly.

"Thanks..." Edwardia and Mike then embraced each other as Luna and I nuzzled each other gently.

"Happy anniversary." Mike then handed Edwardia her gift; she looked at him curiously as she picked up the box. She then opened it to reveal a dazzling silver necklace with a turquoise pendant attached.

She gasped. "Mike...it's gorgeous! Thank you!" she embraced him once again as he chuckled to himself.

"I thought you'd like it." He said, giving her a small, yet loving kiss on the cheek.

Luna giggled softly, and then she looked at me with an expecting grin on her face and a twinkle in her eye. I gulped silently, knowing what that meant...I then regained my usual composure; however my heart was beating rapidly as I continued. "I hope you don't mind, Luna; but I'd like to give you my gift later tonight, ok?"

"That's fine by me, Taka." she nodded softly. 'He must be planning a surprise for me...' she thought to herself. Mike turned to us.

"We'd better get going, you guys."

"Have fun, but don't stay out too late, ok?" Mike's mother smiled. We grinned.

"We won't." we replied as we headed out the door.

ooo Luna's POV ooo

A few hours later, Taka and I were making our way down the empty sidewalks of the city park. (Edwardia and Mike had gone on their own separate date and we wanted to give them some alone time...). We had just finished a wonderful dinner, and we decided to take a walk.

I grinned. "I still can't believe you had gotten us reservations at the best seafood restaurant in town; they're like impossible to get..."

Taka smirked. "Unless your tamer has family members actually working there...I didn't want to tell you about that right away, though; I was saving it for a special occasion." I purred.

"Thanks, Taka." He nuzzled back, purring softly. We stopped in a large clearing where we could get a clear view of the sunset. "You know, it was on a day like this when we first met..." I mused happily.

"Yeah..." he smiled dreamily. "I remember it like it was just yesterday..."

Flashback ooo Taka's POV ooo

It was 9 years ago. I was just a Frimon back then; (an in-training digimon that resembles a baby lion cub with a lizard-like frill around my neck like a mane).and Luna was just a Salamon. We were both living on the continent of Server at the time.

One day, I was just taking my usual stroll through the forest, when all of a sudden I heard a loud scream in the distance. My ears perked up and twitched in every direction. I heard the scream again, this time followed by a huge flash of lightning; which was weird, since there wasn't a cloud in the sky. I then knew what it was and immediately hopped of in that direction.

'Finally; it's about time I had a challenge!' I leapt into the air as a familiar cocoon swirled around me. "Taka digivolve to..." it broke away as quickly as it came. "LEORMON!" I landed and continued on; as soon as I got to the scene, I found a Kabuterimon, it wasn't special, just an ordinary one.

But what really got me really ticked off was that he was chasing a young Salamon for no reason whatsoever! At that moment, he was about to fire another of his attacks, as she had accidentally tripped over a rock that was in the way and wasn't able to get up.

"ELECTRO-SHOCKER!" He launched a huge ball of lightning at her direction. She screamed, and it was then I knew what to do. I ran right in front of the attack, scooped up the Salamon and landed just a few feet away from where the attack struck with a huge explosion. She looked up at me.

"Thanks, Mister Leormon..." I looked down at her.

"We're not outta the woods just yet, kid..." I then noticed a cave nearby. "You go hide in there; I'll squash this bug for ya!" she nodded and did as she was told. I snarled at the Kabuterimon, revealing my large claws. "Hey, Ugly; didn't your mother tell ya it ain't right to attack little girls!" he only growled at me in response as he prepared for an aerial attack.

"ELECTRO-SHOCKER!" he launched his attack three times at me, but I swiftly dodged all of them. After a while, though I knew this battle couldn't drag on the way it was going; especially since I knew she was getting scared. So when I got close enough...

"CRITICAL BITE!" I pounced on him and bit him directly in the thorax. He roared loudly in pain as he fell; I leapt in the air for my final attack. "LEO CLAW!" I swiped my large claws at him, causing numerous scars on his thorax and at that instant he yelled out as his body burst into data. I took it all in; to make sure he couldn't cause any more trouble. As soon as I landed, I went over to the young Salamon, who was smiling in awe. I blushed slightly; no one was usually around when I battled, so having an audience was pretty new to me.

"Hey, kid; are you okay?" I asked her. She nodded.

"Yeah; thanks for saving me back there. I dunno what would've happened if you hadn't." I chuckled.

"Hey, it's no problem...um, what's your name?"

"Oh; my name's Luna." She replied shyly.

"That's a cute name." she blushed a bit, giggling softly. "You can call me Taka." She looked up at me.

"I like yours, too. You want to be friends, Taka?" she asked. I smiled.

"Sure; but first we have to get you home." I then crouched down and let her on my back. Once she was on, I headed in the direction of her home.

"I was actually going home before that Kabuterimon attacked me. There wasn't much I could do since I can't digivolve yet..." Luna said, lowering her ears slightly. I smiled a bit as I rounded another corner.

"Hey; Hakuna Matata. I'm sure you'll get there eventually." She blinked.

"Ha-who-na Ma-what-ta?" I don't think I've ever heard that before..."

"No; it's Ha-ku-na Ma-ta-ta," I repeated, pronouncing it for her. "It means 'no worries'. You'll digivolve when the time's right." And I could tell right then that her confidence was soon lifted.

"Thanks." As soon as were out of the forest she looked up at the sky. "Wow, look at the sky! Isn't it pretty, Taka?" I stopped, looking up and seeing the sun set beyond the horizon. The red-orange sky blended in beautifully with the purple clouds that nestled amongst them. "Yeah; it is beautiful..." I grinned as we continued on our way.

Her parents were very grateful to me for saving Luna, and because of that, they officially welcomed me into their family. Over the years, our friendship grew. We played together just about every day; I even witnessed her digivolving to Gatomon for the first time during a battle against a Kawagamon. However after that, I felt that it was time for me to move on. To find a tamer of my own...unbeknownst to me, Luna was feeling the same way. So we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways; of course we were re-united a few days before Valentine's Day... (As you guys already know). And of course I knew our relationship would take flight eventually...I just didn't know how right I was...

End Flashback

"Hey, Taka...TAKA!" Luna instantly snapped me out of my trance.

"Huh? Oh, sorry about that; Luna. I guess I just zoned out again..." she giggled softly.

"Gee you think?" I laughed along with her.

Unbeknownst to us, but we were being watched by our partners. Mike scoffed, smiling at us.

"I can't believe it...Taka still hasn't said anything yet." Edwardia turned to him.

"Are you sure we should be spying on them like this?" she said, trying to keep her voice down. He looked at her.

"I mean; as long as they don't know, right? Besides; if Luna does accept, I know what's gonna happen..."

She chuckled softly. "What are you talking about?"

Mike: I can see what's happening Edwardia: (What?) Mike: And they don't have a clue Edwardia: (Who?) Mike: They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line our posse's down to two. Edwardia: (Oh.)

Mike(In a sarcastic mock-French accent) Ze sweet caress of twilight (Back to normal, but still sarcastic) There's magic everywhere And with all this romantic atmosphere Disaster's in the air

'Oh, brother...' Edwardia only shook her head and sweatdropped.

Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings the world, for once, in perfect harmony with all its living things

I looked up at Luna. "Um, there's something I've been meaning to ask you...something I should have a long time ago..."

"What is it, Taka? You can tell me."

Taka: So many things to tell her but how to make her see the truth about my past? Impossible! She'd turn away from me

ooo Luna's POV ooo

I blinked softly. "Go ahead, Taka; you don't have to be nervous around me. We're friends, remember?" he nodded, but he still hesitated. My mind was racing, wondering what he was about to say.

Luna: He's holding back, he's hiding But what, I can't decide Why won't he be the king I know he is The king I see inside?

Taka cleared his throat once again after regaining his composure. "Luna; I know we've been friends for a long time, but over the years I've felt that our relationship has become something more..." my heart started beating a thousand miles a minute, and I could tell his was beating in the same way.

Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings the world, for once, in perfect harmony with all its living things

The next thing that Taka did, literally took my breath away...he actually knelt down on one knee, which looking at it was kind of awkward since he could only walk on all fours, but surprisingly he was able to pull it off. My heart continued to beat faster and faster every minute. 'What...what's going on?' Little did I know, I was about to find out...

"Look; I know I'm not that strong, and I may lose my head at times, but I know with you by my side, my life will be complete..." I gasped as he took out a small white box, opening it with one of his free claws; it revealed a golden, diamond-studded tail ring! He looked up at me, his light blue eyes sparkling in the moonlight during his next few words. "Luna...would you...become my mate?"

Tears of happiness were practically flowing out of my eyes at that very moment. I couldn't believe this was actually happening to me. A smile graced my lips as I looked back at him. "Yes, I'll be your mate, Taka."

Can you feel the love tonight? You needn't look too far Stealing through the night's uncertainties Love is where they are

He grinned at me as he gently slipped the ring on my tail; we then pulled each other close for a deep, passionate kiss.

Luna: And if he feels the love tonight

In the way I do

Taka: It's enough for this restless wanderer

Both: Just to be with you

'I'll always remember this night...you have no idea how happy you've made me, Taka...'

ooo Mike's POV ooo

We smiled at our partners. "Maybe we should give them some time alone, Edwardia."

She nodded. "Yeah, you're probably right; Mike." And without another word, we left our partners making love under the stars.

THE END

Well, there you have it. Hopefully it was worth the wait of our readers, Silver...

Silver: Hey, don't put yourself down like that...I'm sure it was, besides you've already told them why the story was late and I'm sure they'll forgive you, Lisa.

Yeah, and sorry I haven't been timely with these oneshots, guys-and since it's been posted on FF.net, too from a few years, back they might be out of date, so forgive me for that, too ^ ^;

Be sure to keep your eyes out for the next one! :3
