Hi everyone!
Terriermon: So what's this one about?
Me: Uh... Yeah, about that...
Lopmon: Don't tell me you're saying that you have no idea what you're going to write.
Me: Well, I don't really need to tell you do I, because you figured it out by yourself. Anyways, you see, I was going around the site,
Terriermon: Because you have no social life.
Me: Shut up. Anyways, then I realised that there's hardly any Tamers stories up there, never mind many good ones. (No offence to anyone who has written a Tamers story recently) And a lot of the good stories I found were unfinished and had been abandoned. Which is tragic, because two of them contain one of my favorite pairings, Kazu/Ayaka.
Terriermon: You're still obsessed with that thing?
Me: Not obsessed, just really like it. I've also found myself falling in love with stories that kinda reflect life.
Terriermon: Because you don't have one.
Me: Would you be quiet already?!
Terriermon: No.
Lopmon: So, is this story ever going to start?
Me: Well... I was kinda stalling for time...
Lopmon: When you write a story, you should at least have some idea of what it might be about first.
Me: Hey, all my other stories were just winging it. My very best one was an extension of something I dreamed up at 1am because I couldn't sleep.
Lopmon: I know, but still...
Me: Okay, let's brainstorm, right here, right now. You guys are my muses, that means you need to inspire me. So, quick! 3 pairings!
Lopmon: You should have done this before you started writing...
Me: By the way, if you people reading this are getting bored, or don't want spoilers of things that may or may not happen, scroll down to the story. If you actually care about whatever chaos me Terriermon and Lopmon manage to create, stay tuned for a while.
Terriermon: Okay, you asked for pairings... HenRika, Ryuki, and Rukato.
Me: Um... No confusing love triangles or squares or whatever that would be.
Lopmon: (sigh) We've reached almost a page full of this nonsense. But, HenRika, Ryuki, Kazu/Ayaka, Rukato, Jerato, Suzie/Mako if you care to go there, and throw in anything else you want. Make someone gay or something, I don't care.
Me: What pairings did you say? I've gotta write this down...
Terriermon: Hey, you said no love thingies!
Lopmon: I was thinking, you like life-ish stories right? Life has confusing people all liking millions of people who all like different millions of people. And, after you have emotional chaos established, maybe throw in some action, like fight scenes or something. And-
Terriermon: Um, do you not think we should like, not be giving the story away before it's even started?
Me: I typed a spoiler warning. Besides, summaries often give away just as much. So lets see, crazy pairings, emotional chaos, fights. Perfect.
Terriermon: That's good, gonna write it now?
Me: Uh...
Lopmon: Well here's the disclaimer, Rainbow doesn't own digimon, or anything really, and she is going to start the story, whether she likes it or not.
Me: Nooo, have mercy! I'm not ready ye- (get's cut off by line-break indicating story starting)
It was just another afternoon in Shinjuku, but it was the weekend, so none of the Tamers were in school. Takato and Henry were in the park with Guilmon and Terriermon.
"I'm bored." Takato said, lying under a tree with his eyes closed.
"Hey, I'm bored too, but you don't see me complaining about it. Hang on, where'd Guilmon and Terriermon go?"
Takato opened his eyes and looked around, and sure enough, the digimon were nowhere in sight.
"Well, I heard them talking, and Terriermon said something along the lines of 'Come with me, I wanna show you something cool.'."
Henry groaned. "They could be anywhere by now, what with Terriermon and his somewhat warped ideas of 'cool'."
"How warped?"
"He goes through phases... Let's see... What was he obsessed with last..."
"I never pictured Terriermon to be the obsessive type."
"Well... Since they all came back from the digital world... He used to just go along with whatever Suzie liked, TV shows and stuff. But then he started getting his own interests, namely bizarre ones, like seeing what happens when you put various things in the microwave..." He half smiled, half frowned at the thought.
"Right..."
"Yeah, lately he's been following Jaarin around, I don't understand why..."
"She's your older sister right?"
"Yeah, I think I'll call her and see if she's seen Terriermon or Guilmon around."
His phone rang for a little bit, until Jaarin answered.
"Hello?"
"Hi. Have you seen Terriermon around?"
"No... Why, did you lose him?"
"Well, yeah. He ran off."
"I suppose if you knew where he was you wouldn't be asking me... Anyway, haven't seen him anywhere..."
At this point she was interrupted by someone in the background, Henry couldn't make out what they were saying, but her reply sounded something like; "Not today, maybe next time, look, my brothers on the phone and if he finds out..."
"Jaarin, who was that in the background?" Henry asked her supicously.
"Huh? Oh, no-one, just my boyfriend..."
Before Henry could say anything, Terriermon and Guilmon came running over to them noisily.
"Hiya Henry! Who you on the phone to?" Terriermon asked loudly, while jumping on to Henry's shoulder.
"I was on the phone to Jaarin, asking her if she knew where you were." He went to say something to Jaarin, but she had hung up.
Takato was getting up afer being jumped on by Guilmon.
"What happened? You look like you're thinking or something..."
Henry smiled at that. "Yeah, I am thinking. It's just- Never mind, it doesn't matter."
"Oh, okay... Hey, what time is it?"
"About six thirty."
A look of panic crossed Takato's face.
"I was meant to be home half an hour ago..."
"Okay then, bye, talk to you later!" He yelled to Takato as he ran as fast as he could to get home, as if running that fast would somehow make him be home a half hour ago.
"Should we go home too?" Terriermon asked.
"Yeah."
When the two of them got home, they were greeted by the sight of Suzie yelling at the DVD player.
"Why should I give you DVDs if you won't give them back?!" She sounded on the verge of tears, Henry had probably got here just in time. He went and restrained her from kicking the DVD player.
"Hey, don't cry Suzie, it's okay. I'll make it behave, alright?"
"(sob) Good."
"Hey Suzie, where's Lopmon?" Terriermon asked.
"She's in my room, reading or something boring like that. She wouldn't even play chasing, can you believe that?"
"Yeah... You know... Maybe I'll go read..." And with that, Terriermon went into Suzie's room to "read". In other words, to be with Lopmon.
Suzie sighed. "Henry, if Terriermon's so totally in love with Lopmon, why doesn't he just marry her?"
Henry looked up from the DVD player which had three disks stuck in it somehow, and replied, "Suzie, it's not that simple. She'd have to love him back, not to mention he doesn't even know he likes her that way."
"Don't be silly Henry, if he loves her then she's got to love him back, and then they get married and live happily ever after." Suzie said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Henry sighed, she was only five, she wasn't going to understand something as complex as love, especially with all the princess movies she watches. He sighed. If only life and love were that simple though... But there's no need to think about that, he's trying to fix the DVD player. How did she manage to get three of them stuck in there anyway?
"Suzie, how did you get three disks into the DVD player?"
"Umm... Well the better question is, when are you gonna get them out?"
"I don't think I can, we'll have to get someone else to try. In the meantime, why don't you watch TV?"
"Yay! TV!"
Henry laughed slightly as he turned the TV on for her, little kids are so easy to please, he should have done this earlier. He sighed, this was the fourth DVD player in a month, what with Terriermon and his short-term obsession with putting things in microwaves, Lopmon not knowing what to do with DVDs, Suzie and her impatience with the device, this place was turning into a DVD player destroying chamber...
Just then, the phone rang.
"Hello?"
And I'll end this here.
Terriermon: Going back to the put-a-cliffhanger-at-the-end-of-every-chapter-so-you'll-remember-what-to-do-next thing, huh?
Me: Maybe... Anyways, people reading this, yes, you, at the computer! Please review, tell me what you think, request a pairing, guess who was on the phone, tell me what I'm doing wrong, anything, just review please!
And I'm not begging, just... I really like reviews... Anyways, bye for now!
