Hey all you Digi-fans Alie here I hope you read the last book. Well the prophecy came true and Christina, Katie, Amanda, Kari and I died. The others had brought me back to help to defeat Malomyotismon. When we did the other princesses were sent to the four corner islands of the digital world, so at the moment, Matt, Tai and I are heading west to go and find Christina, so let stop yapping and start the story.
“Hey Matt?” I asked him.
“Yah?” he asked.
“You might want to look where you stepping.” Tai said.
Looking he saw that he was about to step on a sleeping Ninjamon. “Don’t step on him Yolei’s not here.” I said.
We stepped around the Ninjamon making sure that we didn’t wake him up then al of a sudden, “Aahh, Aahh, Aahh…” Tai started to sneeze.
I quickly put my finger under his nose so he wouldn’t sneeze. When got a little further I moved my finger, “Thank you, Aahh Chuo.”
“Run!” I shouted and we ran out of there before Ninjamon could get us.
About ten minutes later of running we reached the shore. “You had to sneeze didn’t you?” I asked him out of breath.
“What I couldn‘t help it?” he said. I rolled my eyes and walked past him.
I took out my compass and put in the bearing west. “Well I have some good news and bad news.”
“Uh what’s the good news?” Matt asked.
“Well the good news is that we’re heading in the right direction.”
“And the bad?” Tai asked.
“We have to cross the ocean.”
“That’s not bad we can use the transporter.” Matt said.
“Well it is because the transporter’s down.”
“Great how are we suppose to get across?”
“We could swim.” Tai suggested.
“You want to swim for a mile fine with me have fun. I hope you don’t get a cramp.” I said.
“Okay then swimming is out.”
“How are we going to get across?” Matt asked.
“We could go to the real world and then set the coordinates for West Island and then come back through.” Tai suggested.
“That’s a great idea Tai.”
We headed through the Digiport and landed at my house, I set coordinates for West Island and headed through. As soon as we got through we landed on West Island and by the looks of it the guys didn’t know where they were.
“Come on guys I know my way around here.” I said and they followed me.
In front of us there was a large castle it looked like the one on top of Infinitely Mountain on File Island, but it was a little bit smaller.
“Wow that things huge.” Matt said.
“When we get to the top of the mountain I’ll be able to point out your old island Matt.” I said as we started up.
When got to the top we were winded when we caught our breath I pointed out to the north and showed him the island.
“That’s pretty close.” He said.
“Yeah and it was. Well lets face west again and head inside the castle.” I said.
We headed in there was another set of doors in front of us, we headed through and our clothes once again changed to the clothes from the past and once again I had a tiara this time I didn’t know why.
In front of us there was one staircase that separated out in to three different staircases. We headed up the main one; Matt headed left I was about to head forward when Tai grabbed my arm.
“Wait, you shouldn’t go up alone.” Tai said.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine Tai. You just go and try to find Christina.” I said. Tai gave me a look then kissed me and headed down the right hallway.
I went up the staircase and walked down the hallway that was in front of me. On the walls I could see pictures of princesses and princes. I stared at this one picture that had them all in it. I went down the left hall and ended up in a room that was a bedroom. A gold dress hung inside the closet.
Figuring Christina was in here I shouted, “Christina! It’s me Alie where are you?” No answer.
I headed out back into the hall and looked at the picture of all of us it had our parents in it to. I felt tears in my eyes seeing them again I remembered how much of a happy family we were.
I started to wish that things were back to normal but I realized that I was for the best that things were like they were. That’s when in the distance I heard low singing, using my communicator I changed my clothes back to my normal attire; a blue tank top, cut off jean shorts, white socks and sneakers and of coarse my pack.
I ran the way of the music finally I hit what it was coming through I back up and kicked the door open. I headed through and I hit another corridor when the music stopped I wished I hadn’t there were two different ways. That’s when I got an idea.
“Marco!” I shouted.
“Polo!” Christina replied using it I headed left every so often I would hit a fork and called something else.
“Hon!”
“Solo!”
I headed left. Then I hit another fork.
“Mark!”
“Twain!”
I headed right. About 9 yards later I hit a three-way fork.
“Will!”
“Smith!”
I headed strait. Then I hit another one.
“Mandy!”
“Moore!”
I headed left. 10 yards later.
“Matt!”
“Ishida!”
I finally hit a hallway of doors I called once more
“Tai!”
“Kamiya!”
I hit the door, “Stand back Christina!”
When she did I kicked the door open.
“Christina!” I shouted as we hugged.
“It’s good to see you again.” She said.
“Good to see you too.” I said, “Lets head back to the entry way.”
We headed back and waited for the guys to get back, used the communicator and told them I found Christina. That’s when I heard some one running through the corridor it was Matt. He ran right to Christina and hugged her close and kissed her.
“Thank God you’re all right.” Matt said as he twirled her.
I cleared my throat, which stopped Matt. “Hello? Shouldn’t you thank me for finding her?” I asked.
Matt gave me a hug, a tight hug.
“Matt… I can’t breathe… let go!” I choked.
“Oops!” He said as he let go of me.
“Thank you. We might as well return to File Island.” I said. I noticed Christina had her gold dress on along with her gold crown and the boys were in their tuxes and crowns and I was in shorts and a tank top.
When we got outside we had our normal clothes. When we stopped and rested Tai grabbed my arm and took me over to a clearing.
“I was really worried about you Alie.” He said.
“I know Tai.” I said.
“I never want to lose you again. I love you Alie.”
“I love you Tai and I always will.”
He leaned forward and started to kiss me.
Kissing Alie made me feel whole again. With the kiss I had regain my strength and courage. I was also warm again. When we broke away we headed back to Matt and Christina and found them kissing.
“Let’s leave them alone.” Alie said I nodded my head and took her hand we walked for a while and found a cliff with a waterfall we sat down and starred out.
“I’m glad your back Alie.” I said.
“So am I.” She said putting her head on my shoulder, and I put my arm around her.
“Hey you 2! We got to get going!” shouted Christina.
“We were waiting for you 2.” Alie said.
“Well, let’s hurry so we go back to File Island.” Matt shouted.
“All right.” I said. I looked over at Alie. “They ruined our fun.”
Alie nodded in agreement and we walked back to where Matt and Christina were. We went back to the real world and set the coordinates for File Island. As soon as we went back to File Island, the others greeted us. Seems like they found the other 3 princesses.
“Hey you guys!” Katie shouted happily, hugging each of us.
“Hi Katie. Welcome back!” Alie said.
“Good to have you back, alive.” Came a voice.
“Who’s there?” Davis asked.
I narrowed my eyes as I recognized that voice. It was the Digimon that killed our parents. The one that got us into this mess. Jake had the same look on his face.
“I know who this Digimon is.” I growled. Everyone looked at me.
“Then who is it?” Cody asked me.
“It’s the Digimon that destroyed our parents, Metalseadragomon.” I said.
“Well, you were able to recognize me.” Metalseadragomon said.
“Metalseadragomon is the digivolved form of Seadragomon. His metal shields him from his enemy’s attacks. True he did destroy the kings and queens of the Digital World.” Tentomon said.
I took out my sword and concentrated deep inside myself. It changed into the sword of storms and I had the wings back along with the gown. Alie called upon the crystal sword.
“You ready?” I asked Alie from above. She nodded. I focused on Metalseadragomon and started forward.
“Thunder Storm!” I shouted, a bolt of highly charged lightning flew towards Metalseadragomon along with golf ball-sized hail.
“Crystal Beam!” Alie shouted as a beam came out of her crystal sword.
Both attacks hit Metalseadragomon and managed to push him back into some rocks.
“Hypnosis.” He hissed a beam of red light covered all around me. I felt weird and started to attack Alie.
“Stop it Christina!” Matt shouted.
“This isn’t her, she is being controlled by Metalseadragomon.” Alie said, as she was able to snap me out of hypnosis.
I rose to the skies and when I raised the sword to the sky, the sky turned purple and swirled all around me. Ice, wind, lightning, hail, rain, and fire all combined into the swirling tornado.
“Elemental Tornado!” I called, holding my hands outward, the palms facing Metalseadragomon. The tornado with the 6 elements flew toward Metalseadragomon and he screamed out.
“Alie, finish him!” I shouted. She nodded and used her Crystal Beam attack to finish him off.
“Argh! I couldn’t even defeat King William and Queen Irene’s daughter along with King Mike and Queen Catherine’s daughter! Oh well, many other Digimon still have the chance to stop them.” Metalseadragomon said darkly as he became nothing but digi-dust.
I breathed in deeply. How dare he say Alie and my parents at a time like this. I looked at Alie and she nodded in agreement as if she read my mind. Well, she actually did.
‘Maybe we should visit where we buried them.’ I thought.
‘Yeah, I wanted for so long to visit them at least.’ Alie thought.
We all decided to camp out here. Alie and I told the others that we were going on a walk.
Christina and I walked through the forest of my old castle’s territory when we came across 4 gravestones. They each read:
Michael Nicholas Pitcher
Beloved father of Christina Marie Pitcher
Beloved son of Lance Rick Pitcher
Catherine Victoria Pitcher
Beloved mother of Christina Marie Pitcher
Beloved daughter of Isabelle Nikki Pitcher
William Lee Johnson
Beloved father of Allison Nicole Johnson
Beloved son of John Matthew Johnson
Irene Joanna Johnson
Beloved mother of Allison Nicole Johnson
Beloved daughter of Maria Christine Johnson
I had some roses in my hands. Christina placed hers by her mother and father’s graves and I also did the same. We kneeled down and sent a prayer up to God. After that, we sat there for a few minutes before finally went back to camp.
“Where were you? I was getting worried.” Tai said to me.
I watched as Tai wrapped his arms around Alie and asked her where she was. I sighed and sat down on a rock nearest to the pond. I watched a Wolfmon drink from the pond as Gomamon went swimming in it. I gave a smile until I felt a hand upon my shoulder. I closed my eyes and waited for Matt to ask his question.
“As Tai asked Alie, where were you? I nearly died of worrying.” Matt said. I opened my eyes and stared into Matt’s blue eyes.
“I was out walking. We had gotten lost and so we had a little difficulty getting out of the forest.” I lied. I could tell he knew I was lying.
“That ain’t true, Christina. I knew you and Alie went to visit your parents. I know you too well.”
I stared at him; I could feel the tears brimming my eyes.
“How? I never knew you as long as Alie had. I lived in Arizona for almost my whole life until my parents decided to move to Japan. I’m an American, not Japanese like you and most of the digidestined. Only the Legendary Digidestined, Alie, and I are the only Americans in the group.”
Matt looked at me; his eyes were now cold and hard.
“So what? I fell in love with you the first time I saw you when you were auditioning to be my opening act with the Teenage Wolves. Alie and I were really good friends back then.”
“Then why didn’t you just fall for the other girls? I mean I know you love me but why didn’t you just fall for them? I only knew you for like about 3 to 4 years. Our relationship has strengthened in many ways. I never had a talk like this with you.”
“I’m jealous of Lance though. When you and him did that play, I got so jealous of him. It should’ve been me doing that.”
“Look, back in the past we had an arranged marriage did we not?” Matt nodded. “Well, that was in the past. Why don’t we just get on with our lives?”
“Because you and Matt are soul mates.” Came a voice. I jumped.
“W-Who’s there?” I asked.
“I am your mother, my little Angel.” I then saw a faint view of my mother. She was beautiful. Tears went down my cheeks as I recognized her. Only my mom and dad called me little Angel.
“Mom, is it really you?” I asked. She nodded.
“Yes. I have come here so I can crown King and Queen of the Digital World. Or at least one pair of them anyways.”
“So you’re here to crown us King and Queen of the Digital World?” Matt asked. My mom nodded as she held out a crown. My father came and held out another crown. I turned to Matt and he turned toward me.
“Once we crown you, your memories will come back and also you will no longer be a digidestined. Which means you will go back to being your older selves, which was when you were 21 I think.” My father said. I nodded.
Mother placed the crown on my head and father did the same to Matt. The scene went blurry and it came into focus. I was now wearing my gold dress. I looked in a mirror mom supplied me with. I did look I was in my 20’s, early 20’s to be exact. Matt also looked in the mirror. He had his blue suit on with a sparking gold crown on top of his long spiky blonde hair. I looked at him and gave him a hug.
“We are back.” I whispered softly into his ear. He gave a smile and kissed me on the lips. I heard the others come over.
“What happened?” Davis asked as the other digital princes and princesses all gasped.
“Who did this?” Alie asked.
“Me, I crowned them.”
My mother and father came out.
“Good to see you again, Aunt and Uncle.” Alie said.
“And it’s great to see you, Allison.” Father said, smiling. Alie then gave him a confused look he had never called her that before he always called her Alie.
Just then, Alie’s parents came into view, holding 2 silver crowns. I sat down on the soft ground and watched Alie’s parents crown Alie and Tai. Their clothing changed to their outfits, kind of like Matt and I’s. This was so weird now. We were finally placed into our destiny. But something didn’t feel right about this. Maybe this was a trap to get us.
I looked over at Christina and I realized that she didn’t seem as happy as she was. Something was wrong and I think it might affect us all. All of a sudden, dark, thick clouds covered the blue sky and the wind picked up. It was so bad that all the bird Digimon had to hang on. The Armor Animals tried to stay put. I felt Christina hang on to me as a big hole was opened from the background. Alie and Tai were also hanging on. I know everyone else was too.
“I don’t think we are going to make it alive!” Yolei shouted over the roaring sound of the wind.
“Not unless you hand over the bearers of Serenity, Friendship, Faith, and Courage.” Christina’s mom said.
“But why us?” Amanda yelled.
“Because I want to have some fun with you.”
I narrowed my eyes in anger.
“I knew it,” came a voice.
I looked down to find Christina walking toward her mother.
“I knew this was a trap. You are not my mother, she died a very long time ago and her spirit was lost forever. Along with my father and the other kings and queens of this world. If you want Amanda, Tai, Matt, and Alie then you have to go through me first.” Christina said.
Davis and TK ran and grabbed her. They pulled her back into where the others were.
“Let me go!” Christina shouted, struggling under the grip of Davis, TK, and Ken.
“No, we won’t lose you again.” Joe said, helping the 3.
“What am I supposed to do, just let them be captured?” Christina asked.
“We can find them later on.” Izzy said calmly.
I was very surprised at this act. They were holding her back so that she won’t get hurt. If we do get caught, then they will just find us. Amanda was hanging on to a tree trunk, trying to withstand the violent wind coming from the hole. Alie and Tai were hanging onto a rock and I was hanging onto Blue Wolf’s body.
‘I’ll see you soon, Christina.’ I thought as I let go of Blue Wolf and let myself fall into the hole.
I watched Matt let go of Blue Wolf and get sucked into that hole. I almost cried. I came back to reality and helped the others calm Christina down. Boy was she strong but she couldn’t get up with all of us holding her down. Alie, Amanda, and Tai looked at each other and followed what Matt had done. Before you know it, the hole was gone and the winds had died down. The fake parents laughed and disappeared into thin air.
“They’re gone, it’s safe to get up now.” Patamon said from up on a branch. We all got off Christina and relaxed. Joe held her close to him, stroking his hand through her hair as she cried on his shirt. I felt sorry for her.
“Okay, now what do we do?” Cody asked us all. We were all silent. Christina stopped crying and stood up, shakily. Joe supported her as she stood. I guess Joe was being the substitute for Matt.
“How about we get some rest and we can find the others after our rest?” Christina asked. Everyone nodded and started to make camp. I never knew Christina could actually do that. I’m surprised. Maybe there’s something about her that I don’t know yet. I’ll find out later on.
“May I talk to you Christina for a second?” I asked her. She nodded and we walked into a clearing where no one could hear us.
“What do you want to talk about Kari?” She asked me.
“Is there something I do not know about you?” I asked.
“No, I don’t think so other than the fact that when I was in my group about 5 years ago that I sometimes lead the group.” Christina said.
“Ah, so you know how it feels to lead a group?”
“Yeah, it’s just that this group is far bigger than the group I was in.” Christina joked. I laughed. When I stopped laughing, I walked back to the campsite, wanting to fall asleep.
Kari came back to the campsite, all tired. I gave her a look saying where was Christina. She turned her head toward the path she came down. I whispered thanks and ran up the path Kari had taken. I found Christina sitting on a branch up high in a tree.
“What do you want Joe?” She asked me.
“I’m just wondering if you were all right. I mean, ever since the others disappeared I was getting worried you weren’t all right.”
What was Joe trying to get at? Was there something I don’t realize here? Does he…? Nah, it can’t be. Or maybe he does. I climbed down and looked into his face and found myself staring into his eyes. Oh I hope Matt don’t find out what I am doing. He would be so furious and so…jealous. Joe lifted my chin up close to him and kissed me. Man did he kiss well. Not that I’m saying Matt doesn’t kiss well but Joe can kiss better. I closed my eyes and let him hold me close after we were done kissing. I suddenly realized that he loved me, just like Matt loves me. I guess I’m stuck choosing Matt or Joe. Oh boy, it seems that I have a big decision that I have to make. Joe’s hand grazed my cheek softly as I cuddled closer. Maybe I should have the crest of Compassion. I don’t know but it seems all the boyfriends I have had that loved me seemed to really like my body. (Authors Note: He he…I don’t know how that came in. Now look at what I got myself into. Alie: 2 words Christina…You are nuts. Actually Alie, that is 3 words. Alie: I knew that. Anyway, back to the story.) I had laid my head on Joe’s stomach as he laid down on the soft ground. I cuddled up close to him as I fell asleep.
I held her close to me as she fell asleep. The wind had picked up a little, making Christina’s hair flow gently in the wind. I smiled and looked up to the starry sky. Each star was glistening in the black sky. I never knew that the Digital World would have such beautiful stars. I looked back down at Christina and kissed her forehead lightly before falling asleep myself. Unknown to me, Gomamon and Falconmon were watching us, smiling.
“Finally he did that.” Gomamon said.
“Yeah, he used to just hold it in because Matt had her to himself. Maybe Matt isn’t right for Christina after all.”
Golden Eagle shook her head.
“We don’t know if Matt is really right for her or if Joe is right for her. We shall find out who loves her more and who would take care of her more.”
“But how would we find out if they are just putting up a front?”
“That’s where Purple Unicorn comes in. He can tell if they are lying or telling the truth. I asked him one day if he thinks Matt or Joe is right for Christina and he said that Joe could be the one for her, he doesn’t know for sure.” Grey Seal replied.
The Digimon and Armor Animals took one last look at us and went back to the others. Christina and I were snuggled against each other, feeling warm and very relieved. I never knew she could love me and also love Matt. We’ll see what fate decided shall we?
I struggled to open my eyes and when I did I saw I was in some sort of chamber with nothing inside it. Well, maybe except Alie, Amanda, Tai and I. Daemon came in; a huge smirk was on his face.
“Ha! The plan is working as I thought. Christina is very vulnerable as I thought she would be. Right now though, Joe is trying his very best to comfort her. No matter how hard he may try, she can’t break that feeling she feels deep inside her. The feeling of guilt, pain, vulnerable…yes I can almost taste it. I need to feel her dying in my arms so I know that my plans have been accomplished. I need to feel her heart beating furiously as she dies. Yes, I can almost feel it!” Daemon said.
‘He’s gone nuts.’ Alie thought. I agreed wholeheartedly.
‘We have to warn Christina before it’s too late.’ Tai thought.
‘I don’t know Tai. I can feel her losing her grip.’ I thought.
‘Then what can we do?’ Tai thought.
‘I can try to reach her.’ Alie thought.
‘No, it’s too dangerous.’ Tai thought.
‘Tai, I need to do this. If she dies, 2 people would…’ Alie thought before trailing off.
‘2 people would what? I need to know Alie.’ I thought.
‘No, I can’t say. Christina told me to keep it secret ever since our old lives.’
‘Oh come on. It can’t be that bad.’
Just then, I heard a groan in the back of my mind. We were silent as we could hear something. It sounded like someone was coughing. Suddenly, the scene became clear. Joe was cradling someone who looked very ill from my point of view. I couldn’t tell if this was a dream or reality. I looked closer and I saw Christina laying there, wheezing so hard that she could almost cough out a lung.
“No Christina, I won’t lose you.” Joe said, tears were trailing down his face.
“Joe, tell…tell M…Matt that I…I will always be…there for him. Same goes…for…you…Joe. You and Matt…are…the ones who I…I love…deeply.” Christina wheezed. I could feel my tears coming.
“I’ll try to tell him that.” Joe said in a choked voice.
“P…promise me Joe. Please…promise you will take care of yourself…that you won’t…you won’t die because…I’m no longer…no longer there.” Christina whispered, still wheezing in between words. (Authors Note: I got this part from Moulin Rouge where Satine was dying and Christian was really sad. This is kind of like that. I got so hooked on Moulin Rouge that I almost watch it everyday. So please forgive me, I just watch too much TV.)
Christina placed her shaking hand on Joe’s cheek and gave him a kiss. I couldn’t believe she loved Joe and I both through all this time. When she broke away, she went limp in Joe’s arms, her eyes closed. Joe started to cry into her dress that she was wearing. I felt my own tears roll down my eyes only to realize this was just a dream. I woke up and saw Alie, Amanda, and Tai also wake up.
“It was just a dream.” Alie said calmly as I rocked back and forth on my butt, my hands on my knees.
“But it felt so real.” Amanda said, remembering that dream.
Alie looked down. There must be something Alie’s hiding but I can’t quite place my finger on it. It could be about herself or one of us. Or maybe…something about Christina. I shook my head of that idea and focused on getting these chains loose.
“It’s no use Matt,” Tai said, “I tried hours ago and they don’t come loose that well.”
Just then, a beautiful phoenix came swooshing by. It wasn’t Phoenixmon, so what could it be? The phoenix stopped in front of me and pressed its beak on my chains. The beak glowed and the chains started to melt off my hands and feet.
“Looks like it’s helping us.” Tai said as he watched as I stood up, free of the chains. The phoenix went to the others and freed them of their chains.
The phoenix had freed us but it didn’t leave.
“Why aren’t you leaving?” Amanda asked the phoenix. I almost forgot that Amanda was the Guardian of Life. She can communicate to animals.
“Because I need to guide you over to Christina. She told me to find you.” The phoenix replied in our heads.
‘Oh, you’re communicating mentally to us.’ I thought. The phoenix nodded.
‘Yes…indeed. The dream you saw could be the future. And yes Christina does love both Joe and Matt the same. It’s a matter of time when she will choose her true love.’
‘So we have to wait to see when she will find her true love…the one she is destined to be with?’ I thought.
The phoenix nodded and led us out of the castle.
‘Just hold on Christina, I’ll be there.’ I heard Matt thought.
I rolled my eyes and mentally kicked him.
‘Ow, why did you do that?’ He thought.
‘I can hear your thoughts, Matt.’
‘I know that.’
We kept on following the phoenix through the forest. I knew we were close to them, I could feel it. I know my sister is okay, she better be. The phoenix let us go as we came closer to the group. Izzy and Yolei were on Izzy’s laptop, trying to solve something, and the others were just sitting there.
“Hey everyone!” I shouted as I jumped into Brian’s lap.
“Alie! I’m so glad you’re finally here. I was getting worried.” He said, giving me a big bear hug.
“Where’s Christina?” Matt asked the group.
“S-She’s with Joe in the forest.” Kari said, pointing out the path. Matt nodded and went up the path. I didn’t have a good feeling about this.
Joe was kissing me, or should I say kissing my neck affectionately. It felt so good. Then I heard a voice call out my name. I became pale.
“Joe, I think Matt is coming.” I warned. Joe smiled and kissed my neck again.
“Remember, he is captured.”
“Last night I sent a phoenix to free them and guide them back to the group. I knew Matt would know that I love you and him deeply.” I explained softly. Joe was still kissing my neck as Matt came into view. Joe saw him and pretended that he hadn’t kissed me at all.
“Christina, thank god you’re all right.” Matt said, giving me a huge bear hug.
“Great to see you too Matt, but you’re going to squish me before I can actually kiss you, you know.” I said as a matter of fact.
“Oops, guess I didn’t realize that.” He said as he let me go. I stared into his eyes and started to whisper a song in his ear:
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I’ve never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing?
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change… Winter to Spring
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you, until my dying day
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a grace
Suddenly my life doesn’t seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there’s no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I’ll be there by your side
Storm clouds may change
And stars may collide
But I love you, until the end of time
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you, until my dying day
Oh, come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you, until my dying day
I saw Matt smile as I sang this song. I gave him a kiss on his lips and pulled off but he pulled me into a longer kiss. I looked at Joe and he nodded. Joe went back to the others while I discussed something with Matt. As soon as Matt let go of the kiss, I felt so free again. Maybe I was meant to be with Matt, I don’t know.
“Matt, there’s something I need to say to you.” I said in his ear.
“Were you going to tell me that you love both Joe and I?” He asked. I shook my head.
“No, no…now why would I tell you that when you already know that?” I said, giving him an affectionate kiss on his neck.
“Then what are going to tell me?”
I took a deep breath, “I am diagnosed with asthma. I have been ever since I was born.”
Matt gave me a worried look. A look that showed sorrow, pain.
“It’s nothing to be totally worried about. I haven’t had an asthma attack since I was 13.”
“Still that wasn’t long ago you know.”
I was about to say something when I felt like all the air in my lungs was squeezed out of me. I struggled to get some air back in my lungs. My breath got shorter and shorter. Everytime I tried to take in some air, I lost my breath.
I looked at Christina as she struggled to regain her breath.
“Christina? You okay?” I asked placing my hand on her shoulder. She looked at me and fainted. I caught her in time before her head hit the ground. I started to panic and I yelled out Joe’s name, hoping that he could hear me.
“Joe! Come help me!” I heard someone shout.
“Matt…” I whispered as I headed back to Matt, hoping it wasn’t something bad.
When I arrived, I saw Matt holding an unconscious Christina.
“What happened?” I asked, checking on Christina.
“All I know is that she couldn’t breathe and she fainted.” Matt said.
I sighed in relief as I stopped working on her.
“She just had an asthma attack. Don’t worry, she’ll wake up in a few hours or so.” I said. I stood up and walked back to the campsite, leaving Matt alone with Christina.
Christina
I was stuck inside a dark room, not knowing what to do. I heard some voices but I ignored them. They probably are talking about me. I slumped down onto my knees and just sat there like that. I had nothing to do and my crest wouldn’t work. It was all shattered and my digivice looked like it was stepped on by Metalgreymon. All of a sudden, my crest glowed but it didn’t glow a golden color. Instead it glowed with dark energy. I felt the dark energy flow through my body, turning whatever was light into pitch-blackness. I screamed, slapping my hands onto my head as the darkness crawled through my whole body.
‘Alie, Joe, Matt, Jake, Tai… anybody! Help me!’
“Wake up. C’mon Christina, please wake up.” I heard some cooed. I woke and stared into Matt’s blue eyes. They were filled with worry and fear.
“What is it Matt?” I asked softly.
“You started to scream in your dream. I got worried and I tried to wake you up.” Matt said, looking down at the ground. I smiled and lifted up his chin.
I stared into his blue eyes before I kissed him. I felt his muscles relax as he placed his tongue in my mouth, searching around. (Author’s Note: Okay. I admit it I definitely was bored. That is why I am writing like this.) Since Matt’s mouth was open, I put my tongue in his and before you know it we were on our backs, actually on my case it was on my back. Matt broke the kiss, staring into my hazel eyes lovingly. I then realized that I was meant to be with Matt, not Joe. I loved Joe like another brother. Matt went back down and started the kiss again. I moaned as his kiss got deeper and deeper. Again, he stopped the kiss to catch his breath.
“Matt, it’s getting dark. Maybe we should go back…” I started to say but I was cut off by Matt kissing me again. I guess he really loved me if he is doing this. But this time, he had his shirt off. (Author’s Note: Alright, I have gone nuts. A guy has never kissed me. Just to let you know. If you don’t like this part, just skip it. It’s something called boredom.)
I stopped Matt and whispered, “I love you too baby, but it’s dark. Shouldn’t we go back or should we set up a tent I have in my backpack?”
“Let’s set up the tent and have some more fun.” Matt said. I laughed and punched him playfully on his shoulder.
“You never quit do you?” I asked him. He shook his head and being a gentleman, he set up the tent all by himself.
“Come in, let the party begin.” Matt joked. I giggled.
“I was right, you don’t quit. But that’s what I like about you. Are you sure you want to do this?” I said.
“I’m sure but if you want to stop, that’s fine with me.” Matt said, lying down in his sleeping bag.
“Well, I’m just not ready yet. I mean, we’re just 18. We have to go to college first then we can worry about our love lives after college.” I explained. Matt nodded in agreement and went to sleep. I stared at him for a little longer and I finally went to sleep.
I stared into the fire. I watched it’s flames reach out toward the sky. I was out on first watch and the others were all sleeping. Alie came out of her tent, who was in her own tent and relieved me of guard duty.
“Amanda, do you think that Joe might get Christina instead of Matt?” Alie asked me.
“I don’t know Alie. I never thought about the love triangle.” I said honestly.
“I understand. Well you might as well go to sleep, Amanda. We’ve got a long day ahead of us.” Alie said.
I nodded my head in agreement and I went in my tent. I found Jake lying down in his own sleeping bag. He must’ve been waiting for me to come in.
“Hello.” I said.
“Hey Amanda. Ready to go to sleep?” Jake asked me. I nodded and crept into my sleeping bag.
Jake placed his arm around my neck and I leaned my head on his shoulder, like Alie and Christina did when Tai and Matt wrapped one of their arms around their necks.
I woke up the next morning with Jake gone. I got dressed and I headed outside and I sat down by the fire. I smiled as Jake passed by me. I was in love with him, I looked over at Alie and Christina they were talking and laughing. Christina told Alie something that made her extremely happy. I walked over and asked them what they were talking about.
“Well Christina was stuck between Matt and Joe and she thinks she finally chose one of them.” Alie said.
“Which one?”
“Matt,” Christina said, “I think.”
“I just hope that he doesn’t find out about you and Joe if you change your mind.” I said.
“Neither do I.” Alie and Christina said simultaneously.
“Why don’t you Alie?” I asked her.
“Well with how well I know him he’ll want to make Christina jealous and I bet that he’ll ask me to help.” She said as she stood up and headed over to Tai, who was making breakfast to help him.
“I hope he doesn’t because I don’t want to have Alie have to go through that and I don’t want to go through that.” Christina said.
We all became silent as we pictured what might happen if Matt did make Christina jealous. I shuddered at the thought. I bet that it would drive Alie nuts telling Matt that she doesn’t want any part of it.
“Amanda?” a voice asked me.
I looked up and saw Jake looking at me I smiled at him, “Yeah Jake?”
“You had blanked out and I got worried.” He said and I could tell by looking into his eyes.
“I know.” I said and I leaned forward and kissed him.
As we kissed I could here the others applauding and Matt and Tai whistling. (A/N: I know I am bored can you tell? It’s 1:04 a.m. and I can’t think neither can Christina) Alie and Christina both whapped there boyfriends upside the head and the boys looked at them, then each other, and then they kissed them. (A/N: Okay so bored was an understatement. I’m really, really bored)
“You are all nuts.” Davis said to us. Each of us glared at him and stuck out our tongues at Davis. Then Alie levitated him into a near by lake, making everyone in the group laugh. When Davis got out Alie ran for dear life. Christina was laughing so hard she rolled around on the ground. Trying as hard as he could to stand up and help Alie, Tai couldn’t he was sitting on a rock hands around his waist laughing and he couldn’t get up. Matt was on his knees pounding the ground with his fists while he was laughing.
‘You guys wanna stop laughing and come help me.’ Alie thought.
‘Hold on we can’t stop laughing!’ I thought still laughing.
‘Well I’m not laughing!’ she shouted, ‘Davis has an unlimited supply of energy.’
‘Well… we know that but sometimes we can’t help ourselves when he makes a smart alack remark we all start laughing.’ Christina thought still laughing also.
‘Oh brother. Well if you ever decide to help me go ahead.’
‘I’ll be there in a minute.’ I said finally being able to stop laughing I got up and headed the way that Alie and Davis had gone.
I found Davis trying to climb a tree but he was out of luck you had to be able to jump pretty high like Alie and I could to reach the lowest branch. I slowly snuck up behind and pounced on him. I gave him a noogie.
“Hey Tai!” he shouted.
“Get out of here Davis.” I said helping him up.
“But I have a score to settle with her.”
“Don’t worry I’ll handle it.”
He headed back to the others and I jumped up and caught the lowest branch and I pulled myself up when I got up to the second level of the branches Alie had me in a head lock.
“Alie let go it’s me Tai.” I said.
“Sorry.” She said and she let go, “I was planning on putting Davis in one. Then if I got him to the ground I put him in either a full, or a half Nelson.”
I rolled my eyes causing Alie to laugh. I looked at her with the same look that Matt did when he looked at Christina. I leaned forward and kissed her lovingly my tongue went into her mouth and she put her arms around my neck, as I put mine around her waist. All of a sudden we hit the ground, apparently Alie had levitated the two of us down. We were both sitting on the ground in total lip lock. I heard something coming from where Matt was. I stopped kissing Alie and stared at Matt, who was trying not to laugh.
‘Now what?’ I thought to Matt.
‘Nothing.’ Matt thought, still trying very hard to not laugh.
‘Yeah right.’ Alie thought.
‘It’s true. It’s nothing.’ Matt thought.
‘Oh come on. I know you better than that.’ Alie thought.
I heard someone groan right behind me. I soon realized that it was Christina. She was trying to fall asleep.
‘Please try to be quiet. I’m trying to go to sleep.’ Christina thought. I smiled.
‘No, we’ll just keep you up all night.’ Matt thought.
‘You better not. I’ll get you in the morning if you keep me up.’ Christina thought.
‘Night Christina.’ I thought.
‘Night Tai.’ She thought and I could tell that she went to bed. Matt got up and went over to her tent, went inside and went to bed.
“How is it when ever we want to be alone someone or something interrupts us?” Alie asked.
“I don’t know.” I said.
I looked at Alie, she was right we were interrupted every time we started kissing. I hoped that nothing would interrupt us because everything was perfect. I was happy Alie and I were finally back together again. I knew somehow we would be back together.
‘Now where were we?’ I thought.
‘Right about here.’ Alie thought as she leaned over to me and kissed me. I opened her mouth and put my tongue inside her mouth, exploring around. I heard her moan as I kissed her deeper and deeper. I now was on top of Alie. I stopped to breathe that’s when I realized that I no longer had my shirt on. I started to kiss her once more, I knew that our relationship had just gotten stronger, a lot stronger. I remembered that I had a ring, in a box, in my back pocket for Alie, it wasn’t an engagement ring it was a promise ring. Once again I broke away and looked at Alie.
“Uh Alie?” I asked her.
“Yeah Tai?” she replied.
“I have some thing for you.” I said as she moved backwards and leaned against a tree.
“What is it?”
I took the ring box out and I opened it. “Tai its beautiful.” She said, “it isn’t what I think it is?”
“If you’re thinking engagement ring than you’re wrong its a promise ring.” I explained as I slipped the ring on to Alie’s finger, “It’s my promise to you that one day I will propose to you.”
Alie didn’t say anything she just looked at the ring then, “How much did you spend on this?” she asked me.
“My dad told me never tell the price you spent on a gift.” I said.
She just looked at me.
“Well let’s just say more than enough.”
She just smiled at me.
“Well?” I asked her.
“Well what?” she asked.
“Do you except my promise?”
“Yeah I do.” She said.
I looked at her and kissed her lovingly I knew that she really did love me if she accepted the ring. I knew that I never had to be jealous of her again. There was probably a lot going on around us, well actually all that would be going on is people sleeping but to me only Alie and I were there.
I was defiantly in love with Tai the promise ring that he had given me meant a lot. I knew now that he defiantly did love me. As he kissed me the kiss got deeper and deeper. There were times when I dreamed of him asking me to marry him but all I knew was that I had to get through college first. When we broke apart I looked at him while catching my breath.
“Tai it’s late we should head to bed.” I said.
“Yeah we should.” He said.
What I liked about Tai was he wasn’t as crazy as Matt was. Tai got up and rested against a rock and I sat next to him, I was halfway in his lap and he had his arms around me and I held them there for safety. I knew I was safe there as long as Tai was there. I felt him kiss the top of my head and I leaned my head against his chest and I fell asleep. I had the weirdest dream that night.
(Beginning of dream)
I walked around and looked for my friends that’s when I saw Joe kiss Christina and Matt saw also, then he turned to me and asked me to help him make her jealous.
“You’re nuts.” I said to him and I left him there he was following me.
He kept trying to convince me but he couldn’t that’s when he kissed me. I pulled away and slapped him as hard as I could. He kissed me again when I pushed away I tried to slap him again but he caught my arm half way I got out of his grip and I left him there. I saw Tai he was in shock. “Tai I can explain…” I began.
“Explain what?” he asked me.
“About that kiss it wasn’t my fault Matt’s the one that kissed me.” I said Tai started to walk away when I grabbed his arm and forced him to look at me.
“Tai believe me,” I said looking into his eyes, “I love you and I always will, Matt was trying to use me to make Christina jealous, but I told him I wouldn’t that I only love you and no one else.”
“I don’t believe you.” He said with tears in his eyes.
“Look into my eyes that will tell you the truth.” I said.
He looked deep inside them then he walked away; I fell to my knees and started to cry.
(End dream)
I woke up still in Tai’s arms. It was only a dream, just a dream, but it seemed real like something from the future, if it was it would take a lot longer for Matt to try to kiss me. I pulled Tai’s arms closer to me I knew I was safe and I closed my eyes.
I woke up the next morning with a blanket covering Tai and myself, I was now completely in Tai’s lap he was still asleep, I squirmed out of his grip and I headed over to the others they asked if anything had happened. I told them the truth that we had just fallen asleep. About an hour later Tai finally woke up.
“Why are you always the last one awake?” I asked him.
“I don’t know.” He said. He and Davis have been having this contest to see who can sleep in the longest so far Tai was winning.
After breakfast Jake noticed the ring on my finger, “Alie and Tai are engaged!” Jake shouted.
“No we’re not,” I called, “the ring’s a promise ring!”
“What does that mean?” Christina asked.
“It’s my promise to her that one day I will propose to her.” Tai said putting his arm around me.
Everyone else cheered for us. I was glad everyone was happy for us I was just hoping that, that dream I had was just a dream and not a vision of the future. Tai went over and started talking to Matt and T.K. I went over and headed into the woods to clear my head I kept on getting some weird visions.
I watched as Alie headed into the forest. I remembered in the 3rd grade when Alie moved to Phoenix I had my first crush but when she left before the start of 4th grade I was crushed. What was miraculous was that I was able to keep it from my sister I mean if she would have found out she would have blabbed to everyone and she would have blabbed to Alie who had come back to the states before freshman year. The only one that knew was Jake.
“John, earth to John.” A voice said.
I looked up and saw Brian looking at me, “Oh hey Brian.” I said.
“Hey, so do you have a thing for my cousin or what?” he asked sitting next to me.
“No.” I said but I knew he could tell that, that was a flat out lie by the way he looked at me.
The old Johnson charm being able to tell if you’re lying or not. “I know you’re lying.” He said.
“The old Johnson charm’s at work, okay so I’ve had a crush on her since the third grade so what.” I said that was the truth.
“Just make sure that she doesn’t find out okay.” He said.
“I know, I know she’s in love with Tai and now that he gave her that ring I have no chance with her.”
“If you do anything to hurt Alie in any way I will personally kill you and so will Tai. He cares about Alie as much as I do and he’s also known her longer, so don’t try anything funny.” He said and he gave me a slap on the back then he got up and went in the direction Alie went.
I wanted so much for Alie to love me as much as she loved Tai, but I knew that it would never happen she had Tai so she didn’t need someone like me. She probably thought I was just another friend like the rest of the digidestined. I knew a lot about Alie her favorite flower; food, color and a whole lot more. I even had a collection of stuff that I had of her’s Jake saw it and thought it was obsessing, but when he saw a necklace that I had he said that I had gone to far.
That necklace was given to Alie from her great grandfather before he died and when it mysteriously disappeared she was crushed. She had set the necklace down by the pool and when she wasn’t looking I sort of well, took it. It was during the summer before freshman year when I took it, she had gone back to Japan and I thought that would never see her again. Boy was I wrong, when Brian said that we were going to see them again I was surprised I thought of returning the necklace, Jake even told me to return it.
I had the necklace in my pack just waiting for me to return it but I realized how mad she would be at me if I told her that I had taken it. I got up and stretched I headed towards the trail that Alie had gone down and headed down it. I found Alie sitting against a tree, I hid behind a near by rock and watched her. I saw Tai heading over, he looked at her then she nodded her head. What in the world is going on? They just looked at each other then Tai nodded and headed back to the others, that’s when I realized that they were contacting each other mentally, they were defiantly really close if they could do that. I needed some way to make her love me as much as she loves Tai but how, what does he have that I don’t? I know the looks, the talent, he has everything even her. I was so jealous of Tai. It’s like everything I wanted he had.
Maybe I could get some of the group to help me get Alie. The question was who? I knew Matt would never help, nor would Christina. Or maybe no one would. Actually no one would help me out. I had to find a way to get to Alie. Maybe I can get some pointers from Joe, and Matt. I mean they have been through jealousy. Though no one notices, Joe and Matt had been fighting over Christina for a long time now. Maybe tonight I can get them to tell me some pointers. I don't know if they will but I’ll just have to see. I had a plan now. But wait. What was I thinking? All my jealousy seemed to take over my brain like if some evil Digimon took over something. Maybe I shouldn’t concentrate on jealousy right now. I sure hope I can do a good job of hiding it.
“Hey Matt?” I asked him.
“Yah?” he asked.
“You might want to look where you stepping.” Tai said.
Looking he saw that he was about to step on a sleeping Ninjamon. “Don’t step on him Yolei’s not here.” I said.
We stepped around the Ninjamon making sure that we didn’t wake him up then al of a sudden, “Aahh, Aahh, Aahh…” Tai started to sneeze.
I quickly put my finger under his nose so he wouldn’t sneeze. When got a little further I moved my finger, “Thank you, Aahh Chuo.”
“Run!” I shouted and we ran out of there before Ninjamon could get us.
About ten minutes later of running we reached the shore. “You had to sneeze didn’t you?” I asked him out of breath.
“What I couldn‘t help it?” he said. I rolled my eyes and walked past him.
I took out my compass and put in the bearing west. “Well I have some good news and bad news.”
“Uh what’s the good news?” Matt asked.
“Well the good news is that we’re heading in the right direction.”
“And the bad?” Tai asked.
“We have to cross the ocean.”
“That’s not bad we can use the transporter.” Matt said.
“Well it is because the transporter’s down.”
“Great how are we suppose to get across?”
“We could swim.” Tai suggested.
“You want to swim for a mile fine with me have fun. I hope you don’t get a cramp.” I said.
“Okay then swimming is out.”
“How are we going to get across?” Matt asked.
“We could go to the real world and then set the coordinates for West Island and then come back through.” Tai suggested.
“That’s a great idea Tai.”
We headed through the Digiport and landed at my house, I set coordinates for West Island and headed through. As soon as we got through we landed on West Island and by the looks of it the guys didn’t know where they were.
“Come on guys I know my way around here.” I said and they followed me.
In front of us there was a large castle it looked like the one on top of Infinitely Mountain on File Island, but it was a little bit smaller.
“Wow that things huge.” Matt said.
“When we get to the top of the mountain I’ll be able to point out your old island Matt.” I said as we started up.
When got to the top we were winded when we caught our breath I pointed out to the north and showed him the island.
“That’s pretty close.” He said.
“Yeah and it was. Well lets face west again and head inside the castle.” I said.
We headed in there was another set of doors in front of us, we headed through and our clothes once again changed to the clothes from the past and once again I had a tiara this time I didn’t know why.
In front of us there was one staircase that separated out in to three different staircases. We headed up the main one; Matt headed left I was about to head forward when Tai grabbed my arm.
“Wait, you shouldn’t go up alone.” Tai said.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine Tai. You just go and try to find Christina.” I said. Tai gave me a look then kissed me and headed down the right hallway.
I went up the staircase and walked down the hallway that was in front of me. On the walls I could see pictures of princesses and princes. I stared at this one picture that had them all in it. I went down the left hall and ended up in a room that was a bedroom. A gold dress hung inside the closet.
Figuring Christina was in here I shouted, “Christina! It’s me Alie where are you?” No answer.
I headed out back into the hall and looked at the picture of all of us it had our parents in it to. I felt tears in my eyes seeing them again I remembered how much of a happy family we were.
I started to wish that things were back to normal but I realized that I was for the best that things were like they were. That’s when in the distance I heard low singing, using my communicator I changed my clothes back to my normal attire; a blue tank top, cut off jean shorts, white socks and sneakers and of coarse my pack.
I ran the way of the music finally I hit what it was coming through I back up and kicked the door open. I headed through and I hit another corridor when the music stopped I wished I hadn’t there were two different ways. That’s when I got an idea.
“Marco!” I shouted.
“Polo!” Christina replied using it I headed left every so often I would hit a fork and called something else.
“Hon!”
“Solo!”
I headed left. Then I hit another fork.
“Mark!”
“Twain!”
I headed right. About 9 yards later I hit a three-way fork.
“Will!”
“Smith!”
I headed strait. Then I hit another one.
“Mandy!”
“Moore!”
I headed left. 10 yards later.
“Matt!”
“Ishida!”
I finally hit a hallway of doors I called once more
“Tai!”
“Kamiya!”
I hit the door, “Stand back Christina!”
When she did I kicked the door open.
“Christina!” I shouted as we hugged.
“It’s good to see you again.” She said.
“Good to see you too.” I said, “Lets head back to the entry way.”
We headed back and waited for the guys to get back, used the communicator and told them I found Christina. That’s when I heard some one running through the corridor it was Matt. He ran right to Christina and hugged her close and kissed her.
“Thank God you’re all right.” Matt said as he twirled her.
I cleared my throat, which stopped Matt. “Hello? Shouldn’t you thank me for finding her?” I asked.
Matt gave me a hug, a tight hug.
“Matt… I can’t breathe… let go!” I choked.
“Oops!” He said as he let go of me.
“Thank you. We might as well return to File Island.” I said. I noticed Christina had her gold dress on along with her gold crown and the boys were in their tuxes and crowns and I was in shorts and a tank top.
When we got outside we had our normal clothes. When we stopped and rested Tai grabbed my arm and took me over to a clearing.
“I was really worried about you Alie.” He said.
“I know Tai.” I said.
“I never want to lose you again. I love you Alie.”
“I love you Tai and I always will.”
He leaned forward and started to kiss me.
Tai
Kissing Alie made me feel whole again. With the kiss I had regain my strength and courage. I was also warm again. When we broke away we headed back to Matt and Christina and found them kissing.
“Let’s leave them alone.” Alie said I nodded my head and took her hand we walked for a while and found a cliff with a waterfall we sat down and starred out.
“I’m glad your back Alie.” I said.
“So am I.” She said putting her head on my shoulder, and I put my arm around her.
Minutes later…
“Hey you 2! We got to get going!” shouted Christina.
“We were waiting for you 2.” Alie said.
“Well, let’s hurry so we go back to File Island.” Matt shouted.
“All right.” I said. I looked over at Alie. “They ruined our fun.”
Alie nodded in agreement and we walked back to where Matt and Christina were. We went back to the real world and set the coordinates for File Island. As soon as we went back to File Island, the others greeted us. Seems like they found the other 3 princesses.
“Hey you guys!” Katie shouted happily, hugging each of us.
“Hi Katie. Welcome back!” Alie said.
“Good to have you back, alive.” Came a voice.
“Who’s there?” Davis asked.
Christina
I narrowed my eyes as I recognized that voice. It was the Digimon that killed our parents. The one that got us into this mess. Jake had the same look on his face.
“I know who this Digimon is.” I growled. Everyone looked at me.
“Then who is it?” Cody asked me.
“It’s the Digimon that destroyed our parents, Metalseadragomon.” I said.
“Well, you were able to recognize me.” Metalseadragomon said.
“Metalseadragomon is the digivolved form of Seadragomon. His metal shields him from his enemy’s attacks. True he did destroy the kings and queens of the Digital World.” Tentomon said.
I took out my sword and concentrated deep inside myself. It changed into the sword of storms and I had the wings back along with the gown. Alie called upon the crystal sword.
“You ready?” I asked Alie from above. She nodded. I focused on Metalseadragomon and started forward.
“Thunder Storm!” I shouted, a bolt of highly charged lightning flew towards Metalseadragomon along with golf ball-sized hail.
“Crystal Beam!” Alie shouted as a beam came out of her crystal sword.
Both attacks hit Metalseadragomon and managed to push him back into some rocks.
“Hypnosis.” He hissed a beam of red light covered all around me. I felt weird and started to attack Alie.
“Stop it Christina!” Matt shouted.
“This isn’t her, she is being controlled by Metalseadragomon.” Alie said, as she was able to snap me out of hypnosis.
I rose to the skies and when I raised the sword to the sky, the sky turned purple and swirled all around me. Ice, wind, lightning, hail, rain, and fire all combined into the swirling tornado.
“Elemental Tornado!” I called, holding my hands outward, the palms facing Metalseadragomon. The tornado with the 6 elements flew toward Metalseadragomon and he screamed out.
“Alie, finish him!” I shouted. She nodded and used her Crystal Beam attack to finish him off.
“Argh! I couldn’t even defeat King William and Queen Irene’s daughter along with King Mike and Queen Catherine’s daughter! Oh well, many other Digimon still have the chance to stop them.” Metalseadragomon said darkly as he became nothing but digi-dust.
I breathed in deeply. How dare he say Alie and my parents at a time like this. I looked at Alie and she nodded in agreement as if she read my mind. Well, she actually did.
‘Maybe we should visit where we buried them.’ I thought.
‘Yeah, I wanted for so long to visit them at least.’ Alie thought.
We all decided to camp out here. Alie and I told the others that we were going on a walk.
Alie
Christina and I walked through the forest of my old castle’s territory when we came across 4 gravestones. They each read:
Michael Nicholas Pitcher
Beloved father of Christina Marie Pitcher
Beloved son of Lance Rick Pitcher
Catherine Victoria Pitcher
Beloved mother of Christina Marie Pitcher
Beloved daughter of Isabelle Nikki Pitcher
William Lee Johnson
Beloved father of Allison Nicole Johnson
Beloved son of John Matthew Johnson
Irene Joanna Johnson
Beloved mother of Allison Nicole Johnson
Beloved daughter of Maria Christine Johnson
I had some roses in my hands. Christina placed hers by her mother and father’s graves and I also did the same. We kneeled down and sent a prayer up to God. After that, we sat there for a few minutes before finally went back to camp.
“Where were you? I was getting worried.” Tai said to me.
Christina
I watched as Tai wrapped his arms around Alie and asked her where she was. I sighed and sat down on a rock nearest to the pond. I watched a Wolfmon drink from the pond as Gomamon went swimming in it. I gave a smile until I felt a hand upon my shoulder. I closed my eyes and waited for Matt to ask his question.
“As Tai asked Alie, where were you? I nearly died of worrying.” Matt said. I opened my eyes and stared into Matt’s blue eyes.
“I was out walking. We had gotten lost and so we had a little difficulty getting out of the forest.” I lied. I could tell he knew I was lying.
“That ain’t true, Christina. I knew you and Alie went to visit your parents. I know you too well.”
I stared at him; I could feel the tears brimming my eyes.
“How? I never knew you as long as Alie had. I lived in Arizona for almost my whole life until my parents decided to move to Japan. I’m an American, not Japanese like you and most of the digidestined. Only the Legendary Digidestined, Alie, and I are the only Americans in the group.”
Matt looked at me; his eyes were now cold and hard.
“So what? I fell in love with you the first time I saw you when you were auditioning to be my opening act with the Teenage Wolves. Alie and I were really good friends back then.”
“Then why didn’t you just fall for the other girls? I mean I know you love me but why didn’t you just fall for them? I only knew you for like about 3 to 4 years. Our relationship has strengthened in many ways. I never had a talk like this with you.”
“I’m jealous of Lance though. When you and him did that play, I got so jealous of him. It should’ve been me doing that.”
“Look, back in the past we had an arranged marriage did we not?” Matt nodded. “Well, that was in the past. Why don’t we just get on with our lives?”
“Because you and Matt are soul mates.” Came a voice. I jumped.
“W-Who’s there?” I asked.
“I am your mother, my little Angel.” I then saw a faint view of my mother. She was beautiful. Tears went down my cheeks as I recognized her. Only my mom and dad called me little Angel.
“Mom, is it really you?” I asked. She nodded.
“Yes. I have come here so I can crown King and Queen of the Digital World. Or at least one pair of them anyways.”
“So you’re here to crown us King and Queen of the Digital World?” Matt asked. My mom nodded as she held out a crown. My father came and held out another crown. I turned to Matt and he turned toward me.
“Once we crown you, your memories will come back and also you will no longer be a digidestined. Which means you will go back to being your older selves, which was when you were 21 I think.” My father said. I nodded.
Mother placed the crown on my head and father did the same to Matt. The scene went blurry and it came into focus. I was now wearing my gold dress. I looked in a mirror mom supplied me with. I did look I was in my 20’s, early 20’s to be exact. Matt also looked in the mirror. He had his blue suit on with a sparking gold crown on top of his long spiky blonde hair. I looked at him and gave him a hug.
“We are back.” I whispered softly into his ear. He gave a smile and kissed me on the lips. I heard the others come over.
“What happened?” Davis asked as the other digital princes and princesses all gasped.
“Who did this?” Alie asked.
“Me, I crowned them.”
My mother and father came out.
“Good to see you again, Aunt and Uncle.” Alie said.
“And it’s great to see you, Allison.” Father said, smiling. Alie then gave him a confused look he had never called her that before he always called her Alie.
Just then, Alie’s parents came into view, holding 2 silver crowns. I sat down on the soft ground and watched Alie’s parents crown Alie and Tai. Their clothing changed to their outfits, kind of like Matt and I’s. This was so weird now. We were finally placed into our destiny. But something didn’t feel right about this. Maybe this was a trap to get us.
Matt
I looked over at Christina and I realized that she didn’t seem as happy as she was. Something was wrong and I think it might affect us all. All of a sudden, dark, thick clouds covered the blue sky and the wind picked up. It was so bad that all the bird Digimon had to hang on. The Armor Animals tried to stay put. I felt Christina hang on to me as a big hole was opened from the background. Alie and Tai were also hanging on. I know everyone else was too.
“I don’t think we are going to make it alive!” Yolei shouted over the roaring sound of the wind.
“Not unless you hand over the bearers of Serenity, Friendship, Faith, and Courage.” Christina’s mom said.
“But why us?” Amanda yelled.
“Because I want to have some fun with you.”
I narrowed my eyes in anger.
“I knew it,” came a voice.
I looked down to find Christina walking toward her mother.
“I knew this was a trap. You are not my mother, she died a very long time ago and her spirit was lost forever. Along with my father and the other kings and queens of this world. If you want Amanda, Tai, Matt, and Alie then you have to go through me first.” Christina said.
Davis and TK ran and grabbed her. They pulled her back into where the others were.
“Let me go!” Christina shouted, struggling under the grip of Davis, TK, and Ken.
“No, we won’t lose you again.” Joe said, helping the 3.
“What am I supposed to do, just let them be captured?” Christina asked.
“We can find them later on.” Izzy said calmly.
I was very surprised at this act. They were holding her back so that she won’t get hurt. If we do get caught, then they will just find us. Amanda was hanging on to a tree trunk, trying to withstand the violent wind coming from the hole. Alie and Tai were hanging onto a rock and I was hanging onto Blue Wolf’s body.
‘I’ll see you soon, Christina.’ I thought as I let go of Blue Wolf and let myself fall into the hole.
Kari
I watched Matt let go of Blue Wolf and get sucked into that hole. I almost cried. I came back to reality and helped the others calm Christina down. Boy was she strong but she couldn’t get up with all of us holding her down. Alie, Amanda, and Tai looked at each other and followed what Matt had done. Before you know it, the hole was gone and the winds had died down. The fake parents laughed and disappeared into thin air.
“They’re gone, it’s safe to get up now.” Patamon said from up on a branch. We all got off Christina and relaxed. Joe held her close to him, stroking his hand through her hair as she cried on his shirt. I felt sorry for her.
“Okay, now what do we do?” Cody asked us all. We were all silent. Christina stopped crying and stood up, shakily. Joe supported her as she stood. I guess Joe was being the substitute for Matt.
“How about we get some rest and we can find the others after our rest?” Christina asked. Everyone nodded and started to make camp. I never knew Christina could actually do that. I’m surprised. Maybe there’s something about her that I don’t know yet. I’ll find out later on.
“May I talk to you Christina for a second?” I asked her. She nodded and we walked into a clearing where no one could hear us.
“What do you want to talk about Kari?” She asked me.
“Is there something I do not know about you?” I asked.
“No, I don’t think so other than the fact that when I was in my group about 5 years ago that I sometimes lead the group.” Christina said.
“Ah, so you know how it feels to lead a group?”
“Yeah, it’s just that this group is far bigger than the group I was in.” Christina joked. I laughed. When I stopped laughing, I walked back to the campsite, wanting to fall asleep.
Joe
Kari came back to the campsite, all tired. I gave her a look saying where was Christina. She turned her head toward the path she came down. I whispered thanks and ran up the path Kari had taken. I found Christina sitting on a branch up high in a tree.
“What do you want Joe?” She asked me.
“I’m just wondering if you were all right. I mean, ever since the others disappeared I was getting worried you weren’t all right.”
Christina
What was Joe trying to get at? Was there something I don’t realize here? Does he…? Nah, it can’t be. Or maybe he does. I climbed down and looked into his face and found myself staring into his eyes. Oh I hope Matt don’t find out what I am doing. He would be so furious and so…jealous. Joe lifted my chin up close to him and kissed me. Man did he kiss well. Not that I’m saying Matt doesn’t kiss well but Joe can kiss better. I closed my eyes and let him hold me close after we were done kissing. I suddenly realized that he loved me, just like Matt loves me. I guess I’m stuck choosing Matt or Joe. Oh boy, it seems that I have a big decision that I have to make. Joe’s hand grazed my cheek softly as I cuddled closer. Maybe I should have the crest of Compassion. I don’t know but it seems all the boyfriends I have had that loved me seemed to really like my body. (Authors Note: He he…I don’t know how that came in. Now look at what I got myself into. Alie: 2 words Christina…You are nuts. Actually Alie, that is 3 words. Alie: I knew that. Anyway, back to the story.) I had laid my head on Joe’s stomach as he laid down on the soft ground. I cuddled up close to him as I fell asleep.
Joe
I held her close to me as she fell asleep. The wind had picked up a little, making Christina’s hair flow gently in the wind. I smiled and looked up to the starry sky. Each star was glistening in the black sky. I never knew that the Digital World would have such beautiful stars. I looked back down at Christina and kissed her forehead lightly before falling asleep myself. Unknown to me, Gomamon and Falconmon were watching us, smiling.
“Finally he did that.” Gomamon said.
“Yeah, he used to just hold it in because Matt had her to himself. Maybe Matt isn’t right for Christina after all.”
Golden Eagle shook her head.
“We don’t know if Matt is really right for her or if Joe is right for her. We shall find out who loves her more and who would take care of her more.”
“But how would we find out if they are just putting up a front?”
“That’s where Purple Unicorn comes in. He can tell if they are lying or telling the truth. I asked him one day if he thinks Matt or Joe is right for Christina and he said that Joe could be the one for her, he doesn’t know for sure.” Grey Seal replied.
The Digimon and Armor Animals took one last look at us and went back to the others. Christina and I were snuggled against each other, feeling warm and very relieved. I never knew she could love me and also love Matt. We’ll see what fate decided shall we?
Matt
I struggled to open my eyes and when I did I saw I was in some sort of chamber with nothing inside it. Well, maybe except Alie, Amanda, Tai and I. Daemon came in; a huge smirk was on his face.
“Ha! The plan is working as I thought. Christina is very vulnerable as I thought she would be. Right now though, Joe is trying his very best to comfort her. No matter how hard he may try, she can’t break that feeling she feels deep inside her. The feeling of guilt, pain, vulnerable…yes I can almost taste it. I need to feel her dying in my arms so I know that my plans have been accomplished. I need to feel her heart beating furiously as she dies. Yes, I can almost feel it!” Daemon said.
‘He’s gone nuts.’ Alie thought. I agreed wholeheartedly.
‘We have to warn Christina before it’s too late.’ Tai thought.
‘I don’t know Tai. I can feel her losing her grip.’ I thought.
‘Then what can we do?’ Tai thought.
‘I can try to reach her.’ Alie thought.
‘No, it’s too dangerous.’ Tai thought.
‘Tai, I need to do this. If she dies, 2 people would…’ Alie thought before trailing off.
‘2 people would what? I need to know Alie.’ I thought.
‘No, I can’t say. Christina told me to keep it secret ever since our old lives.’
‘Oh come on. It can’t be that bad.’
Just then, I heard a groan in the back of my mind. We were silent as we could hear something. It sounded like someone was coughing. Suddenly, the scene became clear. Joe was cradling someone who looked very ill from my point of view. I couldn’t tell if this was a dream or reality. I looked closer and I saw Christina laying there, wheezing so hard that she could almost cough out a lung.
“No Christina, I won’t lose you.” Joe said, tears were trailing down his face.
“Joe, tell…tell M…Matt that I…I will always be…there for him. Same goes…for…you…Joe. You and Matt…are…the ones who I…I love…deeply.” Christina wheezed. I could feel my tears coming.
“I’ll try to tell him that.” Joe said in a choked voice.
“P…promise me Joe. Please…promise you will take care of yourself…that you won’t…you won’t die because…I’m no longer…no longer there.” Christina whispered, still wheezing in between words. (Authors Note: I got this part from Moulin Rouge where Satine was dying and Christian was really sad. This is kind of like that. I got so hooked on Moulin Rouge that I almost watch it everyday. So please forgive me, I just watch too much TV.)
Christina placed her shaking hand on Joe’s cheek and gave him a kiss. I couldn’t believe she loved Joe and I both through all this time. When she broke away, she went limp in Joe’s arms, her eyes closed. Joe started to cry into her dress that she was wearing. I felt my own tears roll down my eyes only to realize this was just a dream. I woke up and saw Alie, Amanda, and Tai also wake up.
“It was just a dream.” Alie said calmly as I rocked back and forth on my butt, my hands on my knees.
“But it felt so real.” Amanda said, remembering that dream.
Alie looked down. There must be something Alie’s hiding but I can’t quite place my finger on it. It could be about herself or one of us. Or maybe…something about Christina. I shook my head of that idea and focused on getting these chains loose.
“It’s no use Matt,” Tai said, “I tried hours ago and they don’t come loose that well.”
Just then, a beautiful phoenix came swooshing by. It wasn’t Phoenixmon, so what could it be? The phoenix stopped in front of me and pressed its beak on my chains. The beak glowed and the chains started to melt off my hands and feet.
“Looks like it’s helping us.” Tai said as he watched as I stood up, free of the chains. The phoenix went to the others and freed them of their chains.
Alie
The phoenix had freed us but it didn’t leave.
“Why aren’t you leaving?” Amanda asked the phoenix. I almost forgot that Amanda was the Guardian of Life. She can communicate to animals.
“Because I need to guide you over to Christina. She told me to find you.” The phoenix replied in our heads.
‘Oh, you’re communicating mentally to us.’ I thought. The phoenix nodded.
‘Yes…indeed. The dream you saw could be the future. And yes Christina does love both Joe and Matt the same. It’s a matter of time when she will choose her true love.’
‘So we have to wait to see when she will find her true love…the one she is destined to be with?’ I thought.
The phoenix nodded and led us out of the castle.
‘Just hold on Christina, I’ll be there.’ I heard Matt thought.
I rolled my eyes and mentally kicked him.
‘Ow, why did you do that?’ He thought.
‘I can hear your thoughts, Matt.’
‘I know that.’
We kept on following the phoenix through the forest. I knew we were close to them, I could feel it. I know my sister is okay, she better be. The phoenix let us go as we came closer to the group. Izzy and Yolei were on Izzy’s laptop, trying to solve something, and the others were just sitting there.
“Hey everyone!” I shouted as I jumped into Brian’s lap.
“Alie! I’m so glad you’re finally here. I was getting worried.” He said, giving me a big bear hug.
“Where’s Christina?” Matt asked the group.
“S-She’s with Joe in the forest.” Kari said, pointing out the path. Matt nodded and went up the path. I didn’t have a good feeling about this.
Christina
Joe was kissing me, or should I say kissing my neck affectionately. It felt so good. Then I heard a voice call out my name. I became pale.
“Joe, I think Matt is coming.” I warned. Joe smiled and kissed my neck again.
“Remember, he is captured.”
“Last night I sent a phoenix to free them and guide them back to the group. I knew Matt would know that I love you and him deeply.” I explained softly. Joe was still kissing my neck as Matt came into view. Joe saw him and pretended that he hadn’t kissed me at all.
“Christina, thank god you’re all right.” Matt said, giving me a huge bear hug.
“Great to see you too Matt, but you’re going to squish me before I can actually kiss you, you know.” I said as a matter of fact.
“Oops, guess I didn’t realize that.” He said as he let me go. I stared into his eyes and started to whisper a song in his ear:
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I’ve never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing?
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change… Winter to Spring
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you, until my dying day
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a grace
Suddenly my life doesn’t seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there’s no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I’ll be there by your side
Storm clouds may change
And stars may collide
But I love you, until the end of time
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you, until my dying day
Oh, come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you, until my dying day
I saw Matt smile as I sang this song. I gave him a kiss on his lips and pulled off but he pulled me into a longer kiss. I looked at Joe and he nodded. Joe went back to the others while I discussed something with Matt. As soon as Matt let go of the kiss, I felt so free again. Maybe I was meant to be with Matt, I don’t know.
“Matt, there’s something I need to say to you.” I said in his ear.
“Were you going to tell me that you love both Joe and I?” He asked. I shook my head.
“No, no…now why would I tell you that when you already know that?” I said, giving him an affectionate kiss on his neck.
“Then what are going to tell me?”
I took a deep breath, “I am diagnosed with asthma. I have been ever since I was born.”
Matt gave me a worried look. A look that showed sorrow, pain.
“It’s nothing to be totally worried about. I haven’t had an asthma attack since I was 13.”
“Still that wasn’t long ago you know.”
I was about to say something when I felt like all the air in my lungs was squeezed out of me. I struggled to get some air back in my lungs. My breath got shorter and shorter. Everytime I tried to take in some air, I lost my breath.
Matt
I looked at Christina as she struggled to regain her breath.
“Christina? You okay?” I asked placing my hand on her shoulder. She looked at me and fainted. I caught her in time before her head hit the ground. I started to panic and I yelled out Joe’s name, hoping that he could hear me.
Joe
“Joe! Come help me!” I heard someone shout.
“Matt…” I whispered as I headed back to Matt, hoping it wasn’t something bad.
When I arrived, I saw Matt holding an unconscious Christina.
“What happened?” I asked, checking on Christina.
“All I know is that she couldn’t breathe and she fainted.” Matt said.
I sighed in relief as I stopped working on her.
“She just had an asthma attack. Don’t worry, she’ll wake up in a few hours or so.” I said. I stood up and walked back to the campsite, leaving Matt alone with Christina.
Christina
I was stuck inside a dark room, not knowing what to do. I heard some voices but I ignored them. They probably are talking about me. I slumped down onto my knees and just sat there like that. I had nothing to do and my crest wouldn’t work. It was all shattered and my digivice looked like it was stepped on by Metalgreymon. All of a sudden, my crest glowed but it didn’t glow a golden color. Instead it glowed with dark energy. I felt the dark energy flow through my body, turning whatever was light into pitch-blackness. I screamed, slapping my hands onto my head as the darkness crawled through my whole body.
‘Alie, Joe, Matt, Jake, Tai… anybody! Help me!’
“Wake up. C’mon Christina, please wake up.” I heard some cooed. I woke and stared into Matt’s blue eyes. They were filled with worry and fear.
“What is it Matt?” I asked softly.
“You started to scream in your dream. I got worried and I tried to wake you up.” Matt said, looking down at the ground. I smiled and lifted up his chin.
I stared into his blue eyes before I kissed him. I felt his muscles relax as he placed his tongue in my mouth, searching around. (Author’s Note: Okay. I admit it I definitely was bored. That is why I am writing like this.) Since Matt’s mouth was open, I put my tongue in his and before you know it we were on our backs, actually on my case it was on my back. Matt broke the kiss, staring into my hazel eyes lovingly. I then realized that I was meant to be with Matt, not Joe. I loved Joe like another brother. Matt went back down and started the kiss again. I moaned as his kiss got deeper and deeper. Again, he stopped the kiss to catch his breath.
“Matt, it’s getting dark. Maybe we should go back…” I started to say but I was cut off by Matt kissing me again. I guess he really loved me if he is doing this. But this time, he had his shirt off. (Author’s Note: Alright, I have gone nuts. A guy has never kissed me. Just to let you know. If you don’t like this part, just skip it. It’s something called boredom.)
I stopped Matt and whispered, “I love you too baby, but it’s dark. Shouldn’t we go back or should we set up a tent I have in my backpack?”
“Let’s set up the tent and have some more fun.” Matt said. I laughed and punched him playfully on his shoulder.
“You never quit do you?” I asked him. He shook his head and being a gentleman, he set up the tent all by himself.
“Come in, let the party begin.” Matt joked. I giggled.
“I was right, you don’t quit. But that’s what I like about you. Are you sure you want to do this?” I said.
“I’m sure but if you want to stop, that’s fine with me.” Matt said, lying down in his sleeping bag.
“Well, I’m just not ready yet. I mean, we’re just 18. We have to go to college first then we can worry about our love lives after college.” I explained. Matt nodded in agreement and went to sleep. I stared at him for a little longer and I finally went to sleep.
Amanda
I stared into the fire. I watched it’s flames reach out toward the sky. I was out on first watch and the others were all sleeping. Alie came out of her tent, who was in her own tent and relieved me of guard duty.
“Amanda, do you think that Joe might get Christina instead of Matt?” Alie asked me.
“I don’t know Alie. I never thought about the love triangle.” I said honestly.
“I understand. Well you might as well go to sleep, Amanda. We’ve got a long day ahead of us.” Alie said.
I nodded my head in agreement and I went in my tent. I found Jake lying down in his own sleeping bag. He must’ve been waiting for me to come in.
“Hello.” I said.
“Hey Amanda. Ready to go to sleep?” Jake asked me. I nodded and crept into my sleeping bag.
Jake placed his arm around my neck and I leaned my head on his shoulder, like Alie and Christina did when Tai and Matt wrapped one of their arms around their necks.
I woke up the next morning with Jake gone. I got dressed and I headed outside and I sat down by the fire. I smiled as Jake passed by me. I was in love with him, I looked over at Alie and Christina they were talking and laughing. Christina told Alie something that made her extremely happy. I walked over and asked them what they were talking about.
“Well Christina was stuck between Matt and Joe and she thinks she finally chose one of them.” Alie said.
“Which one?”
“Matt,” Christina said, “I think.”
“I just hope that he doesn’t find out about you and Joe if you change your mind.” I said.
“Neither do I.” Alie and Christina said simultaneously.
“Why don’t you Alie?” I asked her.
“Well with how well I know him he’ll want to make Christina jealous and I bet that he’ll ask me to help.” She said as she stood up and headed over to Tai, who was making breakfast to help him.
“I hope he doesn’t because I don’t want to have Alie have to go through that and I don’t want to go through that.” Christina said.
We all became silent as we pictured what might happen if Matt did make Christina jealous. I shuddered at the thought. I bet that it would drive Alie nuts telling Matt that she doesn’t want any part of it.
“Amanda?” a voice asked me.
I looked up and saw Jake looking at me I smiled at him, “Yeah Jake?”
“You had blanked out and I got worried.” He said and I could tell by looking into his eyes.
“I know.” I said and I leaned forward and kissed him.
As we kissed I could here the others applauding and Matt and Tai whistling. (A/N: I know I am bored can you tell? It’s 1:04 a.m. and I can’t think neither can Christina) Alie and Christina both whapped there boyfriends upside the head and the boys looked at them, then each other, and then they kissed them. (A/N: Okay so bored was an understatement. I’m really, really bored)
“You are all nuts.” Davis said to us. Each of us glared at him and stuck out our tongues at Davis. Then Alie levitated him into a near by lake, making everyone in the group laugh. When Davis got out Alie ran for dear life. Christina was laughing so hard she rolled around on the ground. Trying as hard as he could to stand up and help Alie, Tai couldn’t he was sitting on a rock hands around his waist laughing and he couldn’t get up. Matt was on his knees pounding the ground with his fists while he was laughing.
Tai
‘You guys wanna stop laughing and come help me.’ Alie thought.
‘Hold on we can’t stop laughing!’ I thought still laughing.
‘Well I’m not laughing!’ she shouted, ‘Davis has an unlimited supply of energy.’
‘Well… we know that but sometimes we can’t help ourselves when he makes a smart alack remark we all start laughing.’ Christina thought still laughing also.
‘Oh brother. Well if you ever decide to help me go ahead.’
‘I’ll be there in a minute.’ I said finally being able to stop laughing I got up and headed the way that Alie and Davis had gone.
I found Davis trying to climb a tree but he was out of luck you had to be able to jump pretty high like Alie and I could to reach the lowest branch. I slowly snuck up behind and pounced on him. I gave him a noogie.
“Hey Tai!” he shouted.
“Get out of here Davis.” I said helping him up.
“But I have a score to settle with her.”
“Don’t worry I’ll handle it.”
He headed back to the others and I jumped up and caught the lowest branch and I pulled myself up when I got up to the second level of the branches Alie had me in a head lock.
“Alie let go it’s me Tai.” I said.
“Sorry.” She said and she let go, “I was planning on putting Davis in one. Then if I got him to the ground I put him in either a full, or a half Nelson.”
I rolled my eyes causing Alie to laugh. I looked at her with the same look that Matt did when he looked at Christina. I leaned forward and kissed her lovingly my tongue went into her mouth and she put her arms around my neck, as I put mine around her waist. All of a sudden we hit the ground, apparently Alie had levitated the two of us down. We were both sitting on the ground in total lip lock. I heard something coming from where Matt was. I stopped kissing Alie and stared at Matt, who was trying not to laugh.
‘Now what?’ I thought to Matt.
‘Nothing.’ Matt thought, still trying very hard to not laugh.
‘Yeah right.’ Alie thought.
‘It’s true. It’s nothing.’ Matt thought.
‘Oh come on. I know you better than that.’ Alie thought.
I heard someone groan right behind me. I soon realized that it was Christina. She was trying to fall asleep.
‘Please try to be quiet. I’m trying to go to sleep.’ Christina thought. I smiled.
‘No, we’ll just keep you up all night.’ Matt thought.
‘You better not. I’ll get you in the morning if you keep me up.’ Christina thought.
‘Night Christina.’ I thought.
‘Night Tai.’ She thought and I could tell that she went to bed. Matt got up and went over to her tent, went inside and went to bed.
“How is it when ever we want to be alone someone or something interrupts us?” Alie asked.
“I don’t know.” I said.
I looked at Alie, she was right we were interrupted every time we started kissing. I hoped that nothing would interrupt us because everything was perfect. I was happy Alie and I were finally back together again. I knew somehow we would be back together.
‘Now where were we?’ I thought.
‘Right about here.’ Alie thought as she leaned over to me and kissed me. I opened her mouth and put my tongue inside her mouth, exploring around. I heard her moan as I kissed her deeper and deeper. I now was on top of Alie. I stopped to breathe that’s when I realized that I no longer had my shirt on. I started to kiss her once more, I knew that our relationship had just gotten stronger, a lot stronger. I remembered that I had a ring, in a box, in my back pocket for Alie, it wasn’t an engagement ring it was a promise ring. Once again I broke away and looked at Alie.
“Uh Alie?” I asked her.
“Yeah Tai?” she replied.
“I have some thing for you.” I said as she moved backwards and leaned against a tree.
“What is it?”
I took the ring box out and I opened it. “Tai its beautiful.” She said, “it isn’t what I think it is?”
“If you’re thinking engagement ring than you’re wrong its a promise ring.” I explained as I slipped the ring on to Alie’s finger, “It’s my promise to you that one day I will propose to you.”
Alie didn’t say anything she just looked at the ring then, “How much did you spend on this?” she asked me.
“My dad told me never tell the price you spent on a gift.” I said.
She just looked at me.
“Well let’s just say more than enough.”
She just smiled at me.
“Well?” I asked her.
“Well what?” she asked.
“Do you except my promise?”
“Yeah I do.” She said.
I looked at her and kissed her lovingly I knew that she really did love me if she accepted the ring. I knew that I never had to be jealous of her again. There was probably a lot going on around us, well actually all that would be going on is people sleeping but to me only Alie and I were there.
Alie
I was defiantly in love with Tai the promise ring that he had given me meant a lot. I knew now that he defiantly did love me. As he kissed me the kiss got deeper and deeper. There were times when I dreamed of him asking me to marry him but all I knew was that I had to get through college first. When we broke apart I looked at him while catching my breath.
“Tai it’s late we should head to bed.” I said.
“Yeah we should.” He said.
What I liked about Tai was he wasn’t as crazy as Matt was. Tai got up and rested against a rock and I sat next to him, I was halfway in his lap and he had his arms around me and I held them there for safety. I knew I was safe there as long as Tai was there. I felt him kiss the top of my head and I leaned my head against his chest and I fell asleep. I had the weirdest dream that night.
(Beginning of dream)
I walked around and looked for my friends that’s when I saw Joe kiss Christina and Matt saw also, then he turned to me and asked me to help him make her jealous.
“You’re nuts.” I said to him and I left him there he was following me.
He kept trying to convince me but he couldn’t that’s when he kissed me. I pulled away and slapped him as hard as I could. He kissed me again when I pushed away I tried to slap him again but he caught my arm half way I got out of his grip and I left him there. I saw Tai he was in shock. “Tai I can explain…” I began.
“Explain what?” he asked me.
“About that kiss it wasn’t my fault Matt’s the one that kissed me.” I said Tai started to walk away when I grabbed his arm and forced him to look at me.
“Tai believe me,” I said looking into his eyes, “I love you and I always will, Matt was trying to use me to make Christina jealous, but I told him I wouldn’t that I only love you and no one else.”
“I don’t believe you.” He said with tears in his eyes.
“Look into my eyes that will tell you the truth.” I said.
He looked deep inside them then he walked away; I fell to my knees and started to cry.
(End dream)
I woke up still in Tai’s arms. It was only a dream, just a dream, but it seemed real like something from the future, if it was it would take a lot longer for Matt to try to kiss me. I pulled Tai’s arms closer to me I knew I was safe and I closed my eyes.
I woke up the next morning with a blanket covering Tai and myself, I was now completely in Tai’s lap he was still asleep, I squirmed out of his grip and I headed over to the others they asked if anything had happened. I told them the truth that we had just fallen asleep. About an hour later Tai finally woke up.
“Why are you always the last one awake?” I asked him.
“I don’t know.” He said. He and Davis have been having this contest to see who can sleep in the longest so far Tai was winning.
After breakfast Jake noticed the ring on my finger, “Alie and Tai are engaged!” Jake shouted.
“No we’re not,” I called, “the ring’s a promise ring!”
“What does that mean?” Christina asked.
“It’s my promise to her that one day I will propose to her.” Tai said putting his arm around me.
Everyone else cheered for us. I was glad everyone was happy for us I was just hoping that, that dream I had was just a dream and not a vision of the future. Tai went over and started talking to Matt and T.K. I went over and headed into the woods to clear my head I kept on getting some weird visions.

I watched as Alie headed into the forest. I remembered in the 3rd grade when Alie moved to Phoenix I had my first crush but when she left before the start of 4th grade I was crushed. What was miraculous was that I was able to keep it from my sister I mean if she would have found out she would have blabbed to everyone and she would have blabbed to Alie who had come back to the states before freshman year. The only one that knew was Jake.
“John, earth to John.” A voice said.
I looked up and saw Brian looking at me, “Oh hey Brian.” I said.
“Hey, so do you have a thing for my cousin or what?” he asked sitting next to me.
“No.” I said but I knew he could tell that, that was a flat out lie by the way he looked at me.
The old Johnson charm being able to tell if you’re lying or not. “I know you’re lying.” He said.
“The old Johnson charm’s at work, okay so I’ve had a crush on her since the third grade so what.” I said that was the truth.
“Just make sure that she doesn’t find out okay.” He said.
“I know, I know she’s in love with Tai and now that he gave her that ring I have no chance with her.”
“If you do anything to hurt Alie in any way I will personally kill you and so will Tai. He cares about Alie as much as I do and he’s also known her longer, so don’t try anything funny.” He said and he gave me a slap on the back then he got up and went in the direction Alie went.
I wanted so much for Alie to love me as much as she loved Tai, but I knew that it would never happen she had Tai so she didn’t need someone like me. She probably thought I was just another friend like the rest of the digidestined. I knew a lot about Alie her favorite flower; food, color and a whole lot more. I even had a collection of stuff that I had of her’s Jake saw it and thought it was obsessing, but when he saw a necklace that I had he said that I had gone to far.
That necklace was given to Alie from her great grandfather before he died and when it mysteriously disappeared she was crushed. She had set the necklace down by the pool and when she wasn’t looking I sort of well, took it. It was during the summer before freshman year when I took it, she had gone back to Japan and I thought that would never see her again. Boy was I wrong, when Brian said that we were going to see them again I was surprised I thought of returning the necklace, Jake even told me to return it.
I had the necklace in my pack just waiting for me to return it but I realized how mad she would be at me if I told her that I had taken it. I got up and stretched I headed towards the trail that Alie had gone down and headed down it. I found Alie sitting against a tree, I hid behind a near by rock and watched her. I saw Tai heading over, he looked at her then she nodded her head. What in the world is going on? They just looked at each other then Tai nodded and headed back to the others, that’s when I realized that they were contacting each other mentally, they were defiantly really close if they could do that. I needed some way to make her love me as much as she loves Tai but how, what does he have that I don’t? I know the looks, the talent, he has everything even her. I was so jealous of Tai. It’s like everything I wanted he had.
Maybe I could get some of the group to help me get Alie. The question was who? I knew Matt would never help, nor would Christina. Or maybe no one would. Actually no one would help me out. I had to find a way to get to Alie. Maybe I can get some pointers from Joe, and Matt. I mean they have been through jealousy. Though no one notices, Joe and Matt had been fighting over Christina for a long time now. Maybe tonight I can get them to tell me some pointers. I don't know if they will but I’ll just have to see. I had a plan now. But wait. What was I thinking? All my jealousy seemed to take over my brain like if some evil Digimon took over something. Maybe I shouldn’t concentrate on jealousy right now. I sure hope I can do a good job of hiding it.
