POV: Cody's


"Look, Cody, Look!" Thenri said dragging me down the hallway.

"What now?" I replied angrily pulling my arm away.

"Look at the poster! They are allowing 6th graders in this year! We can go to dance tomorrow!" Thenri excitedly screeched.

"Oh that's nice, but I..... uh ...... gotta' .........." I stammered

"Come on Cody!" Yolei called to me from the door.

I sighed in relief. "Bye Thenri!" I exclaimed.

I walked up to Yolei. "Thank you!" I whispered.

"Anytime pal. So what's up with her?" Yolei asked.

"She has a crush on me and she wants me to take her to the dance. I am in deep this time." I sighed.

"How cute!"

"But I don't like her!" I said. "Or anybody else."

Truth be told I really did like someone. I loved Yolei. Not a crush, love. She was two years older then me but I loved her none the less. She was perfect. Sweet. Kind. Smart. Pretty.

"Oh....... C'mon it could be harder then beating an evil Digimon."

"Much worse. Much much worse............."

And she laughed. It sounded so pretty.

As we walked down the streets it started raining. We began to run. I Ran faster then Yolei. Actually after the last two years I had grown a lot. My legs were longer and that is why I was fast.

I hit the door of the apartment with my hands. I stopped. I let Yolei catch up. I opened the door for her. She looked at me oddly for a second. Then she smiled. "Thank you, Cody."

As we stepped into the elevator I dropped my bag and started talking again. "Why were you looking at me like that at the door."

"I just noticed now how tall you are."

"Oh."

"Well see ya!" I said getting out of the elevator.

"Wait." Yolei called from behind me. "You forgot your back pack."

I walked over. "Thanks I owe you."

"How about a dance at that thing tomorrow."

"Uh... Sure why not."

As I started back to my apartment I noticed what I had said. My mind rejoiced. She asked me!

I stepped into the dance. I tried to remain inconspicuous, I didn't want Thenri to see me. I hung in the shadows, the furthest place from the floor where everyone else.

"Hey Cody!" A voice whispered from behind me. "You seem to be having fun, really."

"Hi Yolei. How did you find me so fast."

"The D-3." She said.

I turned to look at her. I couldn't believe my eyes. She looked wonderful. Her hair was permed, she was wearing a long sleeveless black dress, purple contacts, and dark makeup. She looked more like twenty then fourteen.

"You like great!" I blurted out.

She giggled. "Thanks. If I didn't know I'd think you were my age."

I smiled.

"Can I take you up on that deal?" She asked.

"Sure." I said.

As I followed her onto the floor I noticed TK and Kari dancing and surprisingly, luckily to, Thenri with Davis. I noticed Tai, Sora, and Matt in the corner, they were some of the chaperones. The next dance I noticed Matt went to start singing. As the first note sounded Yolei wrapped her arms around my neck. I put my arms around here waist unstedily.

As we danced I felt like I was walking on air. Heaven was so close.

Then the song stopped.

"One more time around before you go back to the shadows?" Yolei asked.

"Sure."

How could I object? I wasn't sure if she loved me. But then it didn't mean to matter then. If we were meant to be we will be brought together by destiny. But I'll love her forever. Even if it was only as a friend. Because, when we are together the heavens could part and all evil would leave the earth. I loved her.
