(A more direct sequel of BB-Random: Lost The Bet)
Mimi Tachikawa felt triumphant and slightly evil, as she often did when she had power.
"...Mimi, stop cackling, " Sora sighed.
It had been four years since the memorable day in which Taichi, Daisuke, and the rest of the boy's soccer team had lost a bet and been forced to dress as girls for a whole day. Four years later, but Mimi had remembered it well despite not actually being in Japan at the time.
So she'd tried to place bets again with her friends, fellow college students, and fellow digidestined. Her boyfriend Koushiro had reminded everyone he was smart by declining but also offering to help when she won (Not if - when. He was an intelligent boyfriend after all). Daisuke had reminded everyone he was still a little brash by agreeing more or less right away. Sora and Hikari had decided it'd at least be fun to join in.
Taichi and Takeru reminded everyone their girlfriends had them completely whipped when they were forced into it.
Presently, the five losers were in the apartment shared by Mimi and Koushiro, along with their seven Digimon partners.
"Sorry, sorry, it's just... mwahaha!"
"Mimi, please..."
"...Mwahaha. Okay I'm done. Aaanyway, boys and girls, you all lost! And you know what that means!"
"Just get it over with. Seriously, Mimi, I'm glad you never turned evil on us," Hikari sighed.
"It means Izzy explains!"
Being a smart boyfriend, Mr Izumi did not question why he had to explain and just got on with it.
"You'll all draw straws to get a forfeit Mimi though up. She had five ideas..."
"One of which borrows me," Gatomon waved from the assembled group of Digimon here to watch their partners suffer... er, offer support.
"...And one of which involves that little digital world glitch we found that can alter some of your settings," Izzy finished.
"Hypnosis and gender-bending. Welcome to Pixiv..." Hikari muttered.
"Anyway, who wants to draw a straw first," Mimi said.
"...there's more than five straws there," Takeru pointed out.
"Yup, twenty-five! You might share your fate for a day with someone!"
The group looked alarmed and also puzzled.
"Uh, what are those fates?" Daisuke spoke up.
"Get forced into one of Mimi's girliest dresses complete with full makeup and hairstyling, have to wear one of her swimsuits all day, have to dress as a maid and clean our apartment, get hypnotised by Gatomon into acting like a cat while wearing a cat costume, or get your gender flipped for a day with the glitch," Izzy said.
"Uh, why does Mimi have five maid's dresses?" Sora said.
"She doesn't, we'll use the glitch to give you the right clothes."
"So, who goes first? Pink is dress, red is swimsuit, black is maid, blue is cat, pink and blue is genderswap," Mimi brandished the straws.
"...I might as well," Takeru sighed, reaching out and pulling a straw with a pink and blue base.
He, soon to be a she, sighed.
"Ooh, well, I kinda wanted to see him as a cat-boy but he makes a cute girl too," Hikari said.
"Mwahaha!"
"MIMI!"
"Let's just get this over with," Takeru said.
The glitch was simple: as one's appearance in the Digital World was basically their own self-projection, the group had discovered that if they used an unencrypted access port, they could basically think themselves into any form in the digital world. For exiting, though, Koushiro, Ken, and Miyako had figured out a way that could let the changes stay in place as long as the portal program was left running, and you didn't go too far away from it.
Takeru left the room, then returned from the Digital World a changed girl, her eyes closed.
"...I haven't thought myself into anything too silly have I?"
"Aw, no, you haven't," Mimi pouted.
Takeru opened her eyes, and did not even respond to her girlfriend taking a picture right away.
"...It could have been a lot worse I guess," She noted.
Where male-Takeru had been wearing a pair of khaki pants and a green long sleeved t-shirt, female-Takeru had replaced that with a sleeveless shirt and a knee-length khaki skirt. Her hair was now just past her shoulders, and a slightly lighter blonde. In terms of her figure, she clearly had been thinking more in terms of a particular girl - she was practically the same height and build as Hikari now, which meant she was of course she was a significant amount shorter than her male self, having been previously a head taller.
That was part of why she then found herself losing balance, not used to her height, or her new shoes.
"Waagh!"
"Oh, hey, you gave yourself high heels! And forgot to change your underwear into girls underwear," Mimi noted at the collapsed form of female-Takeru.
A giggling Kari helped her up as Mimi brandished the straws again.
"Who's next?"
"I'll go," Sora reached out...
She drew a blue-tipped straw.
"Ooh, it's my big chance!" Gatomon gleefully shouted.
"Well, it could have been worse I guess," Sora gave Takeru a glance.
"Aw, don't be hard on yourself, you'd make a hot guy, Sora," Mimi said as she produced the cat costume.
"Oh, gee, thanks(!)"
"Anyway, kitty costume! Ears, paw-gloves and slippers, tail, cat-patterned-cat-suit!"
Sora regarded the spandex garment with some suspicion.
"Why on earth do you have that ready when you were planning to use the glitch for the maid costumes?"
"Oh, it's an old costume of mine from a party."
She left to dress, returning upright.
"Get on all fours, kitty!" Gatomon said.
"You're on your hind legs..."
"She's a digimon, though, and besides, you need to get down to her level to be hypnotised," Hikari said.
Sora complied, and faster than she could say 'cat's eye hypnotism', but obviously slower than Gatomon could, she was under, and began purring.
"Sora, you a cat now?" Mimi asked.
Sora replied by moving over to Taichi and rubbing her face against his legs while purring.
"That's a yes. Who now? Tai, wanna be Sora's little tomcat? Go on, pet her!"
Taichi reluctantly did so, whilst also reaching for a straw...
"Should have seen that coming," Taichi said.
"Looks like Koushiro might be the only boy left at this rate!" Mimi cackled as a pink and blue straw emerged.
"Unless we convince him to join in..." Takeru muttered.
"Nope."
"Let's just get this over with, Daisuke needs to get turned into a girl too," Taichi said.
"Hey, I might draw another straw!"
With Sora still trying to rub her face against his legs, Taichi took his gender-swapping trip. Unlike Takeru, he did try and hide from what she would see on her return.
"Ta-da!" What seemed to be a carbon copy of Mimi said upon her return.
"Hey, no, Taichi, that's cheating! Yourself as a girl, not me... though you did pick a cute choice," Mimi protested.
"Okay, okay..." the clone left.
Sora returned. The real cat-like Sora meowed in confusion, but rubbed her face against her own legs all the same.
"QUIT IT! And if you come back as Hikari or Miyako or Jun or whatserface that Jyou goes out with, I'm gonna shave your hair when you're a boy again!"
A cackling Tai-as-Sora eventually returned as Tai-as-a-girl. His nest-like mass of hair had converted into a long, albeit unkempt, mass of hair cascading down her back. Taichi had been wearing a plain blue t-shirt, which he had converted into a version of his old yellow-starred shirt for his new older female form. His jeans had only become a little less loose on her frame.
"You use this glitch to make yourself new fashion, don't you, Mimi?"
"Yeah, unlike you! You could have at least put yourself in a skirt or something!" Mimi pouted.
"Sora doesn't mind," Taichi noted as Sora continued rubbing her legs.
"Whatever. Next?" Mimi brandished her straws.
"I'll go, I guess," Hikari said, reaching out.
"Just be less boring than your brother!"
"You mean sister," Taichi and Hikari both corrected her.
"Gha! Just pull a straw!"
A blue straw emerged.
"Ooh, that one I can get behind, nya!" Hikari said, dropping to all fours and rubbing Takeru's legs.
Sora gave her a confused look.
"Uh, Hikari, you need a costume. And to be hypnotised..." Gatomon said.
"She seems to be doing fine on her own," Taichi noted.
"Come on, Takeru, where's the petting? Scratching behind my ears? You suck at keeping cats!"
"Real cats don't complain. At least not verbally."
"Do we even have another costume?" Takeru wondered.
"I'll use the glitch. Be right back!"
Hikari emerged, now with cat-ears, a tail, paw-gloves and slippers, and her clothing altered into a bodysuit with a bicoloured white and brown pattern, complete with a bow-and-bell collar.
"Oh, you based it on your old cat Miko," Mimi noted.
"Or Miko II Judgement Day..." Daisuke noted.
"For the last time, Daisuke, Tama is called Tama. He doesn't like it when you insult his mother like that..." Hikari's tail twitched.
The others were silent.
"Oh, and by the way, yeah, I used the glitch properly, it's a real tail. Fake ears though."
"Just look over here and -Cat's Eye Hypnotism," Gatomon cut in.
Soon, Takeru was being rubbed by a purring Hikari-Cat, even as Sora was staring at the moving tail in confusion.
"Your turn, Daisuke," Mimi said.
"Last but definitely least..." Takeru joked.
"Bite me... GHA, HIKARI I WAS TALKING TO HIM! I MEAN HER!"
Hikari hissed at Daisuke as he pulled a straw.
"Oh, pink and blue, what a shock(!)" Taichi raised an eyebrow.
"Uh, look, there are other straws..." Mimi turned the bundle in her hand upside-down, showing there were indeed still two pink-blue, three blue, and five of each of the others.
"Still, it is kinda strange, Mimi," Koushiro noted.
"Quiet you, no boys allowed now. Don't make me make you draw."
"Well, actually, I had a suggestion. Toss a coin, if Daisuke wins, he re-draws."
"I like it," Mimi nodded.
"...I've got a better idea, Mimi, what about double or nothing? I win, I don't forfeit at all, I lose, I draw again on top of what I have!" Daisuke said.
"I also like it!"
"...Do we have to risk it?" Taichi asked.
"Well, I think I'd prefer a chance to get out of this," Takeru added.
"Alright, everyone does it! We detrance Sora and Kari for a bit then, maybe we just make them act cat-ish instead of full kitty if they double up. But since you guys are being fun, me and Koushiro will toss a coin as well, we lose, we do one forfeit each!"
The three other males (two of whom were presently female) looked at the silent Koushiro.
"We all knew she was gonna find a way to try and involve me, I'm just going to deal with it."
"Best boyfriend ever. Anyway, Daisuke, go get turned into a girl while I look for a coin..."
"We all had to go through it for a little while at least," Taichi stopped any protest.
"Fine..."
Daisuke made his genderflip trip. Whilst her hair wasn't that much different, just a little longer, she'd managed to get her absent goggles back via the digital world - Even when not wearing them he/she always wound up with a pair on when entering for some reason. Her jacket, a slightly larger version of the old flame-pattern from his olden days, was tied around her waist. She now wore a sleeveless tank-top, and her jeans had became a pair of cycle shorts.
"I'll admit, I cheated, remember that time we went to that other digital world where I was female for some reason? Pretty much just copied her," Daisuke shrugged.
"...When was that?" Koushiro raised an eyebrow.
"Uh... Like, two-thousand and nine? I think you were away," Agumon spoke up.
"Huh, I'd actually kinda forgot you guys were all here," Koushiro noted to the digimon.
"Yeah, we've just been enjoying the show," Veemon shrugged, as Patamon munched some popcorn.
"Got a coin! Where'd you guys get that popcorn by the way, actually never mind, Gatomon can you de-trance the cats and let's get coin tossing! You first, Daisuke-ko!"
An explaination to Sora and Kari, and five coin-tosses later, Taichi was rubbing her head.
"...We ALL lost?!"
"Well, not yet, me and Koushiro have to try! What's your guess?"
"Heads," He said.
"...It's tails. Whoops. My turn, I bet tails!"
The coin landed heads.
"Huh. Well, guess you were right. Back to straws I guess! Oh, wait, I'd better remove what you guys already have when I get to you, but it's your turn, Koushiro!"
Without any protest, he reached for a straw.
"Oh good, now it's ladies day!" Mimi grinned.
"You could still get pink and blue yourself, Mimi, nya..." Hikari noted.
"...Did you just say nya? We haven't re-hypnotised you yet!" Gatomon groaned.
"I'll be right back," Koushiro said, leaving to the digital world.
She soon returned, having once been wearing black slacks and a plain white shirt, but was now back in a black miniskirt and blouse, before unceremoniously just sitting back down at her computer.
"Clever girl, Koushiro, coming back in something less boring than just pants!" Mimi beamed.
"So, who holds the straws while Mimi picks?" Daisuke wondered.
"I'll hold them," Taichi volunteered.
"Oh, wait, should we remove the maid ones? There's no point in her dressing as a maid to clean her own apartment," Hikari noted.
"But surely Koushiro would like to see that?"
"He sees it every two weeks, I already do dress up for it. Gotta find some way to make it fun..." Mimi said casually.
The others processed this, but Sora immediately realised something.
"...I thought you said you didn't have a maid costume earlier?"
"I said I didn't have five, Sora, I just have one."
Most of the boys-turned-girls were still giving a nonchalant Koushiro odd looks, but in Takeru and Taichi's case, stopped when their girlfriends gave them looks back.
"Anyway, Taichiko, just hold the straws, if I have to clean my own apartment I clean my own apartment," Mimi shrugged.
"...The girly dress isn't much of a forfeit either."
"Fine, I'll be a tomboy or something, just wear some of Koushiro's clothes..."
"...Cat. Huh."
"Well, I guess it makes sense you only act cat-like if we're doing that," Hikari noted.
"Yeah, but you guys were full kitty for a few minutes, Koushiro, you do the straws while I go get a catification!"
Mimi soon returned from the Digital World, now in a calico-patterned bodysuit, and had copied Hikari in gaining a tail. She had also gone one further, as her ears twitched.
"Ooh, putting my ears on top of my head is kinda weird..."
"I wouldn't know, they're usually there for me unless I'm Angewomon," Gatomon said as she hypnotised Mimi.
"Well, I guess Takeru draws a straw and -we didn't think this through," Koushiro began, interrupted by a purring Mimi attempting to climb into her lap.
Eventually, Takeru managed to draw her(his) second straw...
...And accidentally pulled out two.
"...That's two. Takeru, I know you're a blonde now, but surely you remember how basic maths goes, right?" Koushiro mocked.
"I say he does both," Taichi said.
"You mean she, but yeah, I agree, nya," Hikari said.
"Again with the nya before we hypnotised you again... Do we even need to bother?" Gatomon pouted.
"Well, we could ask Mimi when we de-cat her, or we could just go with that because I know what she'd say," Sora added.
"Yep. Just give me a minute," Koushiro said, scratching behind Mimi's ears.
Soon enough, Mimi was now just dressed as a cat awaiting a little bit more hypnosis to simply act cat-like.
"Well, I know exactly what to do here. Takeru, go get yourself some cat ears and a tail, I have a perfect swimsuit in mind!"
Takeru sighed, but complied, soon returning from the digital world with catlike appearance. And face to face with a leopard-print bikini and a pair of kitchen gloves.
"...What about my tail? And why the kitchen gloves?"
"All part of the plan!" Mimi said, entering the digital world. Upon her return, the gloves had become cat paws, and the bikini bottoms now had a tail-hole.
"I adjusted the sizes too, I think. This glitch thingy is pretty hand when I want a different look," Mimi beamed.
Takeru met her fate, going to change into the swimsuit.
"Hmm, I need to figure out a way to get us all to the beach like this someday, that bikini suits you, Takeru!"
"I'm not going to a beach the wrong gender!" The male-turned-female protested.
"Fine, wear the bikini as a guy, I won't complain..." Hikari noted.
"Sora's turn to draw another straw, once we're done teasing Takeru..." Koushiro cut in.
"Fine, let's get this over with..." Sora reached for a straw.
A black straw emerged.
"Ooh, good. Lucky for you the apartment is mostly clean, but I know just the perfect setup! Oh, we need to get your ears fixed..." Mimi said, dragging Sora into the digital world before she could protest.
The others were silent.
"Do you think she'll be that enthusiastic about putting anyone else into a maid costume or a pretty dress?" Taichi wondered fearfully.
"Probably," Koushiro shrugged.
The two returned, Mimi beaming and Sora blushing.
"Ta da!"
Sora's ears were now on her head, and her tail twitched nervously. Her cat costume was gone, replaced with paw-print patterned stockings, a short-skirted black maid's uniform with white bib, and a blue collar with a bell on it. Her tail also featured a small ribbon, and two more ribbons were tied in her hair near her ears.
"Anyway, next! Sora can't clean until we're done!" Mimi reminded them all as they stared.
"...That's you, Taichi. Honestly, you're staring at her like you were her boyfriend turned into a girl or something."
Taichi reached for a straw, not even reacting to Mimi's poor joke.
It was black.
"I always said you and Sora were maid for each other," Hikari joked.
"I don't remember her ever saying that," Daisuke frowned.
"It's a bad joke," Mimi clarified.
"Oh."
"Anyway, come on, Taichiko, time to get your uniform! Sora, let's help her," Mimi beamed, and the two dragged the hapless soon-to-be-maid to her fate.
They returned, Taichi now maidlike and blushing in a strapless maid uniform, white elbow gloves, high heels, and black stockings.
"Uh, how did you two help?" Takeru wondered
"Oh, we just said suggestions to make him, er, her, think of them on the way in and out," Mimi said.
"That sounds bad..."
"It is," Taichi groaned.
"Oh, be quiet, you suit that uniform... Hikari, your turn."
Hikari reached for a straw, as her brother-turned sister squirmed in embarrassment.
She then pulled out both a pink and blue straw, as well as a pure pink straw.
"...Well, that was careless," Taichi grinned.
"Uh... How is that even going to work?" Hikari frowned.
"Don't ask me, you stupid boy, you pulled the two straws!" Mimi grinned.
"She'll be a he and then he'll be crossdressing... and also a cat-boy..." Daisuke noted.
"Also Takeru won't be a lesbian any more," Gatomon added.
"Um, that's... Never mind, just go with that," Agumon spoke.
"Oh, I forgot you guys were all there again," Koushiro noted.
"I'll get the pretty dress for Hikaru, go and use the glitch!" Mimi beamed.
"She's basically just going to be Tai with a haircut. We could have saved effort by just putting him in a dress before he was turned into a girl," Sora sighed.
"Uh, Sora, I am in a dress right now. A really short and draughty one."
"Oh, come on, you've been turned into a girl or forced into a dress a surprisingly large number of times, Taichi, stop complaining."
Hikari then returned, slightly taller, slightly shorter hair, slightly broader shoulders, slightly embarrassed, and considerably flatter-chested.
"Nice timing, I've got the dress! This way!" Mimi dragged the new and now only boy away before he could even say anything.
"...Takeru has a cute boyfriend at least," Daisuke noted.
Said blonde had no idea what to say to that, so said nothing.
Eventually, Hikari and Mimi returned, the girl-turned-boy now wearing a very frilly pink dress, long satin gloves, blue earrings, and a small crown between the twitching cat ears.
"Mimi, why is he dressed as Princess Peach?" Daisuke asked.
"You mean she. Because Hikari's Hikari again even if it's Hikaru below the dress!" Mimi beamed.
"Actually, if she'd been born a boy my parents had Hideo at the top of the list," Taichi noted.
"Then why is Hideo dressed as Princess Peach?" Daisuke asked again.
"Wait, why are you calling me Hideo now?!"
"Quiet, Hideo, the girls are talking," Mimi patted his head.
"...Are you ever gonna answer?"
"Spare costume from a Halloween. I just poked a hole for the tail."
"So now I'm a genderswapped cross-dressing catboy cosplay Princess Peach renamed Hideo. How come that's actually one of the least strange things that's ever happened to us?" 'Hideo' sighed.
"Last but not least, it's your turn, Daisuko!" Mimi grinned.
"I think Daisuke is actually kinda unisex, personally..."
"Shut up and pull a straw."
"Another catgirl, I see," Gatomon grinned as Daisuke drew her blue straw.
"I'll go get my ears and tail..."
Daisuke returned with an overly fluffy tail, leading to accusations of trying to be a fox-girl.
"Hey, don't try and be a fox girl!" Hikari/Hideo protested.
"I'm not, it's just everyone else has these skinny little tails. I wanna be different," Daisuke defended her choice.
"You've always been pretty 'different' to be honest..." Takeru muttered.
This was proven a moment later when, under brief full-cat hypnosis, Daisuke began chasing her tail.
"Huh. Does she think she's a cat that thinks she's a dog?" Sora wondered.
"Who cares. Anyway, since the apartment is so clean, the two maids have nothing to do. Party?" Mimi grinned.
Only two voices of dissent, and one tail-chasing abstention, meant that it was a 'yes'.
"Mimi, if I ever win a bet with you I'm making sure your forfeit is you turn into a guy for a month! A maid guy that cleans all our apartments!" Sora fumed at the impending large amount of work.
"Sure, Sora. If," Mimi grinned as the chaos began.
