The Americans
Purple eyes nervously scanned the horizon outside the airplane. She fidgeted in her seat. The plane would be landing soon and she was shaking with nerves and excited energy. How long has it been since she's been in Tokyo? Eight years? She wondered if her best friend would remember her, none-the-less recognize her. She was so nervous! She left home for a reason and she prayed she wouldn't run into her "father". She would never be able to forgive him for what he had done.
A boy with blonde curly hair turned his eyes from his laptop where Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade was playing. His bright blue eyes landed on the black haired girl by the window. She was fidgeting mercilessly and her amethyst eyes reflected worry. He nudged the Chicago native next to him and was met with a pair of questioning honey brown eyes. The blonde Florida native pointed towards the girl.
He heard a sigh escape the boy's lips as he looked back towards the blonde. "She's so nervous. Do you know what has her so antsy?"
"I'm not sure," was the reply, "but it has something to do with her past. I'm sure Jacen knows. Tell him to calm her."
"Sure." Sighing, the brunette turned to the sandy blonde haired boy on his left between him and the fidgeting teen. He tapped his neighbor's arm and was met with the boy's green eyes and a disgruntled "what?" The Chicagoan just nodded his head toward the boy's other neighbor.
The blonde quickly whipped his head around to the young teen by the window. Sighing he put his hand over hers, efficiently catching the girl's attention and her glittering purple eyes with his green ones. "Alex, it's going to be okay. We're a team; we'll be there for you. Besides, Mimi's picking us up and you don't want to give her another reason to freak out. So, no worries mate." He ended with a smile and a squeeze to her hand before letting go.
Alex looked over at her team and was met with three different colored eyes that shined with concern. "Thanks guys. I'm just a little nervous. You know how I don't like to fly." She gave a weak smile.
They all nodded and went back to their previous entertainment. She knew that they didn't believe her fully, but they wouldn't push her. Alex turned her eyes back to the window and started thinking about her "team". The thought made her smile. She was a part of the Digidestined team in America. Each one of them was from a different part of America.
Mykal, the blonde curly haired boy with the aquamarine eyes, was from Florida. His father has been in a handful of movies and owns his own plane, which he flies. His mother owns a well known boutique in Miami. He's a pretty smart boy and has gotten them out of some sticky situations. His good looks definitely catch the attention of the ladies, but then again, so does each of the sixteen year old boys on her team. Mykal has, as Mimi calls them, the "crests" of courage and hope; perfectly suited to his personality as the leader of their group. Mykal's not one for sports, he's more of an artsy person. He's a lot like his dad in the sense that he's been in a lot of plays and likes to act. That's actually how he first met their friend Mimi. She moved from Tokyo to New York City. The two met at one of the plays on Broadway. Their seats were next to each other.
Now, Samual, or Sam, he loves sports. Football, baseball, soccer, you name it, you got it. But he's more of the normal sports. His goal is to play on a professional soccer team. Sam's a native of Chicago, with brown hair and brown eyes that are always hiding mischief in their depths. Sam's dad owns one of those well known hotels up in Chi-town. He's definitely told them the name before; Alex just can't seem to remember. His mother's a lawyer up there too. Now you'd think that with as much of a jock as you can get with Sam he'd have no brains. But then, you'd be wrong. He's a total computer nerd. Mimi's compared him to her friend "Izzy" before. According to her he's a natural with technology. They also both have the "crest" of knowledge. But Sam also has sincerity, which is the "crest" that Mimi has. Sam met Mimi when she was visiting Chicago. She was staying at his dad's hotel. She had heard about Sam from Mykal and when she checked in with her family Sam was helping out behind the main counter before he went out with his friends that night.
Then there's Jacen. He's originally from the States, but lived in Australia until he was eight. He now lives in Los Angeles, California. But some things, more like most things, that he says still have an Aussie accent to them. He's got sandy blonde hair and gorgeous emerald green eyes. Where Sam's interest lies in normal sports, Jacen loves extreme sports. He's a stereotypical surfer boy. But he also loves Motocross, and he likes to go scuba diving. Both of his parents are doctors, but his mother is a surgeon; nasty stuff in Alex's opinion. Jacen's "crests" are the ones of reliability and love. Now, how he met Mimi? She can't really recall all the details that Jacen used, all that she remembers of the conversation is that they met in Hawaii during a summer break a few years back. It was around the time with the whole Diaboromon.
Now as for herself, well, for starters her full name is Alexandria. But no one ever uses her full name. It's usually Alex, or Andy; sometimes even Allie or AJ, but never Alexandria. She was born in the States, but her mother died and her "father" moved to Tokyo with her. So Alex spent her first eight years in Tokyo until her neighbor/best friend helped her escape. She now lives with her aunt and uncle in Louisville, Kentucky. Her aunt is a nurse and her uncle trains horses at Churchill Downs. Alex is into both sports and the arts. She plays the drums for her band, sometimes even the electric guitar, and sings. Her band is becoming pretty big. They have a record deal on the way. She also dances, ice skates, and gymnastics. Alex's "crests" are of friendship and light. She was there for the digimon appearance in Highton View Terrace. She left a few weeks after that. Now, how she met Mimi? Well, that's kind of funny. Her and her band, "Saturn Rain" were in New York City for a gig. She was out shopping down town and she ran into the strawberry blonde at a store. Alex doesn't really remember Mimi to well from when they were younger; she's blocked most of those memories out. But they were apparently in the same class.
But Mimi didn't stop her because of that. Mimi stopped her because she looked like an older version of a girl in one of Mimi's friend's pictures. Mimi asked her if she had lived in Tokyo, she had replied with yes, she did; and so they played around with those details until finally Mimi asked Alex if she knew a "Yamato Ishida".
Alex had been frozen to her place and her mouth had gone dry. The only thing she was able to squeak out was "Matt?"
