Once again writing mini fics for S/Is I' haven't even posted abouts for but shhh me brain thoughts be rolling. We let them roll.

Forget Me Not

Digimon Adventure Canon non-conforming Self Insert mini fic about Joe and his Mom, me.

"Mom?" Joe swung the door to his apartment open and found no shoes in the entry way.

That wasn't surprising, this time of day his father would be at work, and his mother's caretaker, a nice nursing student who lives in their building named Jim, would be in class.

The schedules should fit perfectly so his mother is never home alone, so he comes home from school just as Jim is leaving for his classes. But then Joe had to be selfish and go on the school trip, worse get sucked into another world.

"Mom?" Joe repeated, a little louder as he closed the door behind him, "It's Joe. I'm home." Joe doubted his mom had remembered he'd gone away to camp so he didn't bother mentioning that he'd come home early. He began searching the apartment's rooms for his mother.

She wasn't in her bedroom, or Joe's, or his father's. She wasn't in the bathroom or the kitchen or the living room. Joe began to worry she'd gone out somewhere, walking the city streets unsupervised. He bit his finger as he paced back into the living room, considering the ramifications of interrupting his dad at work, when he finally found her.

"Mom!" Joe spoke louder than he meant to, though he knew he wasn't supposed to shout around his mother, as he pulled the door to the balcony open. He grabbed her arm tight, in a way that would usually startle her terribly, and was surprised to find her stock still, staring over the city.

"Mom, sorry I'm a little late, but I'm home now..." Joe started, trailing off when he was the dull look in his mom's usually shining brown eyes, "Mom...?"

She looked to him, her face blank, her stare empty, and spoke in a confused tone, "Who... are you...?"

Joe sat up from his sleeping position, quickly slapping both hands over his mouth to muffle his own panic. His body shook as his eyes quickly searched his surrounding area.

Around him were trees and dirt and a lake and his friends and their digimon, all comfortably sleeping on the ground, using their arms and rocks and tree roots as pillows. He was still in the Digital World.

Joe cautiously released his hands from his mouth and took a shaking breath, pulling his knees to his chest. He counted quietly to himself his friends, their names, and their Digimon, one by one.

"Joe?" Gomamon whispered with a yawn, pulling himself out of the emergency food ration bag, "What are you doing...?"

"Nothing." Joe spoke as quiet and evenly as he could, which wasn't much of either, and pulled his knees tighter to his chest, "Go back to sleep."

Gomamon did not go back to sleep and instead pulled himslef over to Joe with another yawn, laying his head on the kid's thigh, "Sure don't sound like nothin'"

"doesn't sound like nothing." Joe corrected, loosening his hold on his knees to let Gomamon on his lap, "...I'm keeping tally.."

"Tally?"

"Of everyone in our group."

"Why?"

Joe hesitated answering that for a moment, adjusting Gomamon to sit upright on his lap, knees still bent.

"So I don't forget them..."

Gomamon tilted his head, "How could you forget them, you're all friends and you spend every day together?"

"I know," Joe gave a weak chuckle, "It's irrational, stupid... It just makes me feel better..."

"Why are you really counting, Joe?" Gomamon asked in that way that Digimon seem to do when they know the answer, but know you don't, or if you do you don't want to talk about it. Joe had seen Palmon and Gabumon do so before, though he was sure it flew over Mimi and Matt's heads.

He didn't really consider himself smarter than them for catching this quick in their partners, just part of being older, of being raised by his father.

Joe sighed, maybe it would be nice to tell someone, and who better than Gomamon? ...Well lots of people better than Gomamon, but none here right now.

"You know how we were all talking about Highton View Terrace, the apartment we all lived at and saw that big Digimon fight four years ago?"

Gomamon nodded, "Uh-huh?"

"Well, just before that happened, my mom and I were out getting groceries to make dinner. We ate really late back then because my dad came home from work late and he wanted us to eat all together as a family."

"So your mom saw the fight too?"

Joe shook his head, "No she...." Joe pulled his knees closer, squishing Gomamon into his chest, "I don't remember it well but... my mom got hurt right at the start of the fight... really badly... protecting me from falling debris..."

Joe started to tear up. He quickly whipped his glasses off and rubbed his eyes harshly.

"E-Ever sense then she's- She hasn't been the same. She struggles to remember things, and she's always stumbling and dr-dropping stuff. She can't cook anymore, she can't use ch-chopsticks she-"

Gomamon's paws pulled Joe's arm from his eyes, tears streamed down his cheeks. Gomamon very gently wiped them with his claws.

Joe sniffled, "I'm scared, Gomamon... Wh..What if I finally get home and... my mom she..... she doesn't... remember me?"

"That won't happen, Joe, you're her son. She has to remember you." Gomamon smiled, wrapping his paws around Joe's neck in a hug, "You're super memorable too, cause you're such a worry-wort, and really caring and considerate, and really loud. It'd be hard to forget you even if you were apart for years."

Joe hugged tightly onto Gomamon, burring his face in the Digimon's shoulder. He sniffled, "Thanks, Gomamon..."

"Mom?" Joe swung the door to his apartment open and found no shoes in the entry way.

He shouldered off the bag he'd stored Gomamon in and took off his shoes before entering, "Mom? Jim? I'm home early from camp.... Dad?"

Joe paced the apartment as Gomamon wiggled himself free of the emergency ration bag, finding no one inside. Joe considered maybe Jim had taken his mom on a walk, or his dad had taken her to work with him.

By the time Joe paced himself back into the living room Gomamon had joined him. "Is that her?" He asked, gesturing his paw to the open balcony door where a woman with short white hair stood in a dull orange sweater and loose lounge pants.

Joe froze, staring at his mother's back on the balcony. The fear of being forgotten resurfaced, fear worse than any digimon had brought out of him yet. He gripped tightly on the front of his sweater vest, head racing.

He needed a plan. He needed to approach her in a non threatening way just encase she has forgotten, and he needed to stay between her and the phone to keep her from panic calling someone encase she thinks he broke into the house, and he needs to be able to get himself and Gomamon back out the door quickly to wait for his dad to come home, and he needs somewhere he can call his friends should anything about the eighth child come up and and they need to reach him, and-

"HI THERE MRS. JOE'S MOM I'M GOMAMON!"

Gomamon shouted as he launched himself across the floor at Joe's mother, who turned at the sound of his voice and just managed to catch him.

"G-Gomamon you can't startle her like that- M-Mom I'm so sorry about-" Joe fumbled to follow after Gomamon, reaching to take the digimon from his mother in a panic.

"Joe-Bean!" Joe's mom's eyes were a chocolate brown that shined almost red in the sun, even behind her thick glasses her excitement at seeing her son shone brightly. She quickly pulled the boy into a tight, squeezing hug, "Welcome home, Beanie! I missed you so much~" She cooed.

"O-Oh-!" Joe felt himself tear up, pressed against his mother and Gomamon, forgotten in her arms, "I... I missed you too, mom." He sniffed, hugging his mother back.

"'Beanie'?" Gomamon teased. Joe flushed and pushed himself out of his mother's hug, wiping his eyes before leading his mom back inside the apartment and closing the balcony door behind them.

His mom seemed surprised to realize she was holding Gomamon in her embrace along with her son, "Oh? What a cute friend you've brought back from camp, Beanie." She cooed, holding the Digimon out before her, "And what's your name, munchkin?"

"I'm Gomamon! It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Joe's Mom."

Joe's mom giggled, "You can just call me Emile, Gomamon. It's nice to meet you too." Emile watched as Joe walked into the kitchen, splashing water onto his face, "Beanie Baby your daddy left a voicemail for you for when you got back from camp."

"Okay," Joe called from the kitchen, rubbing his eyes and putting his glasses back on as he came back into the living room where his mom now sat on the floor with Gomamon on her lap, happily scratching at him like he were a cat.

Joe smiled and joined his mom on the floor, "I missed you..." He repeated as he leaned on her shoulder. His mother smiled and hugged him close.

"I missed you too, Joe-Bean."

The three sat on the tatami flooring the rest of the afternoon, as Joe told his mom everything about the Digital World, with Gomamon adding in a few quips here and there as well. Unsurprisingly, his mother believed every word, oohing and aahing at all the suspense and adventure he'd been on, praising him for being so brave and grown up, and cheering at the triumphant battles.

Joe wasn't sure how much of these stories she'd remember the next day, but he'd be happy to tell her them again. It helped him to remember them as well.
