Otter's Note: I've always love Digimon Adventure. I've watched it first back when I was in elementary and just watched the Japanese version this year. Even so, the other series and movies from the Digimon franchise didn't appeal to me. So the setting for this story is an Alternate Universe that follows the end of Digimon Adventure. This means no coming back to the Digiworld and meeting their Digimon friends again. The Digimon Adventure story had a bittersweet ending but I like it to stay that way, a wonderful adventure dream Peter Pan-esque where the children came back change for the best. Also I'm never fond of the idea of seeing the children characters I've watched became adults, having their own careers and their own children. Those were the only realism I don't want in my animes, mangas, and cartoons. But alas canon interferes so time to ignore canon again.
I'm following the Japanese version of Digimon Adventure and there's a matter of addressing the characters. Jo senpai at 6th grade was like an old man addressing younger girls by kun instead of chan (got to love Jo senpai with this) while he calls the boys without any honorifics. The girls addressed him as Jo senpai and the boys Jo or Jo san. Koushiro and Mimi were polite addressing the older kids with the honorific san which is quite reserved meaning they're friends but not really close as in best friends. But no matter what, I preferred this and have no intention to change this. Also these two addressed each other as Mimi san and Koushiro kun. This facet I kind of tweaked. Since Mimi and her family still migrated in US in this AU and Koushiro is the tech savvy kid, I'm thinking of them becoming closer friends because of the distance. As they said to each other in the fic they're virtual residents, that'll make them correspond to each other the most. Koushiro adapted Jo senpai's addressing Mimi as Mimi kun and shortened it to Mi kun. In return Mimi addressed him as Kou chan. I'm being particular about names and honorifics as addressing characters is a weakness.
Back to the story, Mimi's family migrated in US which were because of her parents being distressed with the Digimon causing chaos in Odaiba. But ever since the newest US presidential election, they kind of have a change of heart. They are not illegal immigrants per se; they have green cards you see. But that's beside the point. Hoping that the incident in Odaiba won't happen again they just decided to go back in Japan. Of course Mimi and her family can just go back in Japan for the sake of the story but I like reasons and reasoning so why not. Furthermore, I'm actually peeved at the idea of making a character live somewhere faraway across the seas only to always be dropping by because of some pointless reason or when the plot calls for it.
Anyways since this is a fanfiction the US president's name is also fictionalized hence the name. Lastly this is going to be slice of life after school connected one shots series. It won't always be in chat form. Thank you for reading. Please do review.
