The first digi-destined
How we all got here/chapter 1
Aria
22/01/02
It was just a normal day really. At least at the beginning it was. Oh and by the way my names Caria Esumi, but my friends call me Aria. As I was saying, it was just a normal day at school. It was Tuesday so we had been painting, but I would have called it cutting and sticking. My hands were still covered in the clear sticky stuff. Not that I really minded, in fact I quite enjoy peeling the glue off. It's just that…my fingers were getting stuck to the keys.
Keyboard keys, for a computer that is. Our school had one of the best computer classes in the area. Although because it was Tuesday lunchtime, we weren't really supposed to be in there. But, the teachers made an exception for us.
The us I am referring to are, John Charlet, John's one of the oldest out of us being ten. So he's moving school in September. Cara Nali, is in Johns year, but she doesn't talk much. I think she's too scared. Lucy Mucali is eight like me, and we're best friends. Lucy's a big tomboy with a heart of gold. Nathan Naketo, is in the year above me but in the year below John. Which is ironic as Nathan is smarter than John. Which actually isn't hard to be since he's been hit by a ball so often. Yep, that's right John and Nathan are huge football fans. Finally there's Samuel Charlet; Sam's really quiet, probably because his brother John is so loud. But he's a real computer whiz; he even told the headmaster how to operate his new printer. Amazing or what! Usually there's another girl in, her names Naiomi. Well, her real names Kiyomi, but I think her parents just spelt it wrong, because even they call her Naiomi. Naiomi is a real chatterbox. But she was absent today, as she was sick with tonsillitis, her parents must be in heaven!
Everything was going like usual, the place was silent. Quite a mean feat for a group of primary school children. Then all of a sudden my computer began to beep. It was so weird. But not just that, everyone's had.
It was Lucy who noticed the strange icon first. She was playing fox and rabbit, a really weird computer game. When in the background on her screen appeared some sort of flashing thing?
"Hey, Aria an icons flashing what do I do?"
"Hmm, oh, just click on it," I replied half-heartedly. To engrossed in looking at strange jokes, to really be bothered.
"No way, I'm not touching it," she cried, "It might be a virus or something."
"Highly unlikely Lucy," Melanie Counicko called from the doorway.
Melanie or Mel was a bit of a lone wolf. She got on with nobody, yet got on with everybody at the same time. Once I asked her why she went round on her own. But she just asked me why I was half-Japanese. She's too weird. Mels in Nathan's class, but not even he can understand her!
But anyway, as I was saying, these weird things were flashing on our computers. It was John who told us what to do. He decided that since none of us wanted to touch it, but we also didn't want to tell Mr Baker that something was wrong with the computers. We would all have to click on it at the same time. So Mel began to count down;
"5,4,3,2,1... and..."
"Hurry up!" Nathan shouted.
"Hit it!"
As we all hit the icons the room was suddenly in white light, and some strange looking devices flew out of the computers into our laps. Even Mel got one.
"Whoa! What is this thing?" I asked, not really expecting an answer.
"Don't ask." Cara replied. She looked as though she was about to be sick.
"Hey, everyone look at this!" Nathan called.
"What is it?" John asked, irritated that Nathan would tell him to move off his ass.
"It's... It's... its a one of them." He answered quite confused about what was on his screen.
I quickly pulled Lucy and Sam up off their chairs, where they looked quite gormless and, basically dragged them over to Nathan's computer. The others weren't long in following.
What we saw, was something probably stranger than even the devices that we held in our hands. The thing was shaped a bit like a balloon, but had a bright red button flashing in the middle of it.
"So click on it!" John ordered.
"You sure?" Nathan asked.
"Yes, now get on with it!" He snapped.
We all held our breaths as Nathan punched the button but...nothing happened. I remember sighing with relief at that point but my relief was short lived. For, on an impulse, John suddenly held up his device, and it started to glow. Not just his though, all of our new devices glowed and then, we were all sucked in.
Yeah you heard me all right we were all sucked into the computer!
O.K. I know that kinda sounds a lot like Digimon series one, and I'm afraid the first few chapters will resemble it. But stick with me folks it will get better.
Chapter 2 should be coming along soon, that is when I write it up.
Standard disclaimers apply for this. I do not own Digimon, and even though I may want to I cant. Because its owned by a lot of rich people in suits. Who even if they wanted to sue me wouldn't get much.
