Perfect Flaws
by Nefertanya Dragongurl Ahhotep
Well, here it is folks! The well-awaited sequel to the Flora + Fauna trilogy! All because u asked for it! Thanx to all who reviewed, and to those who just read and enjoyed.
OH! In case you're just tuning in, this takes place after series one but it's as if 02 never happened. All the kids are between 12+17, the digi's are between 11-15(I always figured they were slightly younger myself)
*A.S.D.A(All Standard Disclaimers Apply).
"Mirror, Mirror hanging on the wall,
You don't have to tell me-
who's the biggest fool of all..."
"I wish she'd stop singing that stupid song." I mutter under my breath. Mimi's been singing it all morning, ever since she found those extra batteries in the bottom of her purse. I know she doesn't mean to be cruel, she doesn't even know she's doing it, but that one line just keeps hitting me like stones on a glass wall.
--I am the biggest fool, after all.
How could I think even for an instant that Gabumon could like me?! sigh. Two whole weeks have passed since he nearly kissed me-er, let me rephrase that. It's been two whole weeks since I was stupid enough to think he wanted to kiss me. He's avoided me like the digital plague ever since.
Gazing at my reflection in the pond, it's not hard to see why. I'm nothing more than a walking weed. My petals are too droopy, my eyes too beady. My mouth is w-a-y-y too crooked, and my teeth...ugh!
I slap the water's surface with my over-sized palm. The water trembles before me, the smoothes and reforms, as if to mock me. I look over to my Mimi. She's no longer singing, only mindlessly humming the damn tune. I watch as she brushes her beautiful, chestnut-brown hair. I remember once I saw my reflection when I was in Ultimate form. Lillymon is pretty, Palmon is not. That's because she's a humanoid. All human girls seem to be very pretty. If I were human, would Gabumon like me?
--But then, I'd still be in the same boat, wouldn't I?
"Okay, guys! Break's over! Let's move!" Tai comes bounding out of trees, Agumon close on his heels. Mimi groans in protest, but she's learned that whining will get her nowhere. I watch as my handsome hero falls into step with Matt. Everyone else packs up quickly and falls into place behind the dueling duo. Gabumon doesn't even look back to see if I'm around. It makes me wanna curl up and wither away.
--Not that he'd even notice I was gone.
"Let's go!"
Mimi takes my hand and smiles warmly down at me. Her smile is perfect. Her teeth are smooth and round and her mouth forms a perfect curve. How I envy that smile!
"Mimi, you have such a nice smile. I wish mine was more like yours."
Her eyes widen in surprise. "But Palmon, you have such a sweet smile!"
I laugh bitterly and shake my head. "No, no. Mine's all crooked. It's goofy-looking."
"Nonsense! Your smile is perfect for you! Why, you'd look terrible with a smile like mine!"
I look up to her, a glimmer of hope in my heart for the first time all day. Did she really mean that?
"Really?"
"Mm-hmm." she nods. "Now, c'mon, let's catch up with the others." She squeezes my hand affectionately and we race off.
My heart feels a little lighter at her reassurances, but still a little voice in the back of my mind keeps whispering....
--"But does he think so?"
Ooo, dontcha just love angst? Please R+R, even if it's just to say "Good job, Neffie!" Gab's turn is next!
