sigh If I owned Digimon, I wouldn't be writing this...

It was a surprisingly cool summer's day. Daisuke was sitting on a bench in the middle of the playground, and silently reflected on what had just happened.

Hikari had been at her desk, with no Takeru about! Daisuke had taken this chance and asked her to accompany him on a picnic. She had refused, saying that Takeru had a basketball game coming up.

Daisuke sighed and watched Hikari from a distance. She was talking and laughing with Takeru. She talked and laughed with him but...it just seemed different. Daisuke sighed again. Did no girl like him? Did Hikari really not like him? Did she prefer Takeru way more than him? Well, they did seem to have a past connection,

'But did that really mean she had to be with him?' Daisuke thought sadly. The bell rang,

"Oh great! Science! What FUN this'll be" He muttered sarcastically,

"Daisuke? Are you coming? Or are you gonna sit there day-dreaming all day?" asked a curious voice. Daisuke felt his face flush a little. He turned his head to Hikari and said, with a tone of embarrassment,

"Ahaha! Of course not Hikari! Whaddya take me for? An idiot?" Hikari rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"C'mon Daisuke!" She said, holding out her hand, "You know what happened last time you tried to skip science!" Daisuke shuddered

"Yeah, good point. And hey! I wasn't gonna skip! Although.." Daisuke took her hand, and got himself up and winked at her "Would I seem like a bad boy?" Hikari poked his forehead and laughed,

"Oh Daisuke! Everyone likes you the way you are!" A massive grin spread across Daisuke's face,

"Ya mean it?!" Hikari smiled,

"Of course! Now come on! Else we'll be late!" she turned and began to walk in the direction of the class. Daisuke walked behind her and said quietly,

"What about you?" Hikari turned her head,

"Did you say something?" Daisuke flushed, shook his head quickly, and said,

"N-nothing!" Hikari smiled and said,

"Your acting strange! Is something wrong?" Again, Daisuke shook his head,

"N-no! Why do you ask?" then he paused and said, with rising excitement,

"A-are you worried about me??" Hikari giggled,



"Of course!" She turned her head back, and continued walking, "I worry about all my friends!" Daisuke looked at the ground, 'Friends.." He shook his head slowly, 'No, Hikari values me! Thats good enough..for now!" But another thought crossed his mind, and he voiced it,

"So...does that mean you get REALLY worried about Takeru?" Hikari stopped and sighed, then turned to him, looking annoyed,

"Why does EVERYONE say that to me?? I know we give that impression, but we are NOT dating! Jeez, Dai!" Daisuke turned red,

"Ahhh!! I'm sorry Hikari!! I-I didn't really mean it, it's just, like you say! It looks like that, and I..." He trailed off. Hikari frowned, then laughed,

"It's okay Dai! Don't have a heart attack!" Daisuke went even redder, then pouted,

"I-I wasn't having a "heart attack"! I was just worried that I'd hurt your feelings! I mean..I really value your friendship!" Hikari smiled,

"I know you do, and I value yours! Now.." She grabbed his hand, "We're late!" And with that, she dragged him down the corridor. Daisuke was in heaven 'She..she's holding my hand!!" When they arrived in class, Hikari sat next to Takeru, and Daisuke sat behind Hikari. His happiness deflated,

"Only friend-no! Hikari would never lie!" He stared at Hikari,

"But...will she ever see ME as more than a friend..?"
