The Chronicles of
A Digidestined6
Prologue
Hello. It's me, Jonathan.
Melissa (as well as some of the others) has been bugging me about not writing a story for this series. So I am. I hope she'll get off my back now...
Anyway, it's been a couple of months since our last journey into the Digital World. Hopefully, everything will be normal from now on.
Yeah, right. Like that'll ever happen.
In reading Melissa's story, I couldn't help but notice that she wrote about the time when she tricked me into going on a date with her, a week or two ago. It actually was a bit fun. It reminded me of when we used to do things like that all the time.
As friends, of course.
It would have been better if she hadn't been holding my hand all throughout it. It made me feel very uncomfortable, and made my heart race at about a gazillion beats a second.
Chapter 1
Melissa is a very good friend. She's been my very best friend since we were 6. We've been nearly inseparable for 9 years.
I like her very much, but I don't, um, you know...
Love her.
...I think.
Right now, I have no idea what to think. The whole situation is very complicated and confusing.
Oh, why does this have to happen to me?
I don't know why she won't stop bugging me about it. Can't we just be friends? That's all I want us to be.
Maybe. I don't know. Things like this always confuse me.
Here's some advice: Never get yourself involved with girls. It'll just make your life a nightmare.
But sometimes it feels like a dream.
What am I saying?! I don't want to be dating her, right? Then why do I keep feeling this way??
Oh, my head hurts...
Chapter 2
Now that I've pulled myself together, I can get off this topic.
...Hopefully.
So, what to write about... What to write...
I know!
I'll write about Pok-
Oh, wait. That would probably be considered taboo.
Instead, maybe I'll write about... um... something else.
Why can I not think straight? All I can think about is Melissa!
Melissa, with her eyes like emerald orbs...
Augh! There I go again!
I'm not even supposed to be interested in girls!
What's happening to me?!
Maybe, just maybe...
I really do like her more than a friend.
...Maybe.
So, anyway, let's try to get off this subject, shall we?
Maybe I'll talk about my other friends.
Hmm... Let's see...
There's Melissa's little sister, Denise... Oh, and there's also Amity, Loretta, Aurelia, Lucilla...
Wait a minute!
Me, Alistair, Tobias, and Lucian are the ONLY boys??
How can there be a 3:2 ratio of girls to boys?!
I think Thunderboom must have a soft spot...
Anyway, let me introduce my friends:
Alistair is our unofficial leader. If he says to do something, we'll all gladly do it. (Supposing it's a reasonable request, that is.)
Aurelia is Alistair's older twin sister. (She's older than him by 6 minutes.) She is the kindest person I have ever met.
Lucian is a kid who suddenly finds himself with a lot of free time.
Lucilla, Lucian's little sister, is a rather inquisitive girl who can't talk. However, I gave her a program that lets her computer "speak" for her. (I'm a very nice person. Modest? Not so much.)
Amity is the oldest of the three Moores, and she is... Well, to put it plainly, nearly suicidal. (Metaphorically and literally.)
Tobias is Amity's younger brother, and he is much more practical and down-to-earth than his sister.
Loretta, the youngest of the Moores is a super-genius.
And, lastly, Denise is Melissa's sullen sister.
Chapter 3
I have to let you all know the truth about something.
Well, you see, the thing is...
I've had a crush on Melissa since we first met.
I've just always tried to keep it under control. But lately...
Melissa, why'd you have to kiss me?!
Maybe if I just get it over with, I'll stop feeling this way.
deep breath
Well, here I go...
Epilogue
The day was Thursday, March 27, 2008. (Exactly 2 weeks after Melissa's birthday, coincidently.)
I nervously walked up the steps, and stood near the door.
I considered leaving, right then and there. No one would ever have to know.
Instead, I worked up the courage to do it.
I rang the doorbell.
The door opened, and there, standing in the doorway, was her. Melissa. As usual, she looked perfect.
My heart fluttered.
"H-hello, Melissa." I stammered.
"Hello, Jonathan. This is a surprise." she said, with a voice sweeter than anything I had ever heard before, "To what do I owe the pleasure of your company?"
I could feel myself blushing.
Melissa just smiled expectantly, waiting for me to start.
I started getting very nervous, and I gulped before answering.
"M-Melissa, w-would y-you by any chance, um, uh, w-want to hang out together sometime?"
Why couldn't I just say it?!
Melissa blinked a couple times, figuring out what I said.
"Are you trying to ask me out on a date?" she asked.
I nervously nodded my head.
A grin appeared on Melissa's face, and she threw her arms around me.
I was too shocked to do anything.
"Great!" she said, "I'll see you tomorrow!"
I didn't know whether to smile joyfully, or wonder what I was getting myself into.
So I did both.
