hiiii! It's probably a bad idea to be making yet another story, but it started nagging at me, so im going to post the first chapter and see how it goes.
Okay: after doing an all nighter and watching the entire season one on youtube, i realized that the story would only be like 10 chapters long and irrelivant if i started it where i did, so i rewrote it. starting about in the middle of episode 7.
the story is probably going to be a little different from the actual series, Ill do the best i can, but if it's wrong, sorry. its gotta be original anyway, right? oh, digimon themselves aren't going to be the main focus, so if they aren't mentioned in a chapter, theyre still there, just they didn't say anything. charlie has brown, curly hair down to her shoulders and green eyes.
Charlie's pov
I rummaged through the fridge, grabbing an orange Fanta and dropping my backpack on the dining room table. I popped it open and headed towards my bedroom, closing the door behind me with my foot. I flopped down on my bed and picked up the remote.
School had been rough today. The teachers didn't understand me at all. They think I'm just an irresponsible problem child that won't pay attention. It's not my fault that they're so boring and it's more interesting to daydream. I had three missing assignments, and had about three thousand pages of homework to do, which I couldn't blow off because I had C's and D's in most of my classes.
But it was Friday, so I had all weekend to do that stuff. Right now I just wanted to watch the four hour Digimon marathon. I switched on the tv across from my bed.
~Digimon, digital monsters, Digimon are the champions!~
I relaxed against the headboard and sipped my soda.
~"No! Tai, It's too dangerous!" Matt argued. "We have to! It's got the best view of digiworld!" Tai yelled. They couldn't seem to decide on whether or not to climb Infinity mountain.~
I sighed. Anime people rocked, they didn't have any physical flaws or cracking voices. They looked so cool. Sometimes I wished I could look like an anime person. I picked up my Digimon plushie from under my pillow. "Hey, Chaymon, digivolve!"
Nothing.
I sighed again. The Digidestined had it good. They didn't have homework, angry teachers, or parents that ignored you. No, they spent their time fighting evil with their Digimon and saving the world.
Me? I was stuck with reality.
It would be so awesome to be one of the Digidestined. It's not like anyone would miss me.
I wish..
About three hours later, my eyes were drooping. I had finished my soda, and I knew I needed some caffeine if I was going to watch the rest of the marathon, but I didn't want to get up to get another one. I yawned.
Suddenly something smashed through my window, slamming into the tv and cutting off The newest battle. Glass rained down and I shrieked. Whatever had demolished my window dislodged itself from the tv, falling onto the carpet with a THUD.
I crawled across my bed on my hands and knees and peeked over the edge. A small, electronic-looking device lay on the floor.
Suddenly, it started to glow with a purple light and float up towards me. Instinctivley, even though it had just crashed in from the sky and pulverized my tv and I probably shouldnt touch it, I reached out and grabbed it.
I brought it closer to my face, studying it. Why did it look so familiar? The tv sparked, and all at once I got it. Holy-!
It was a Digivice! No way..
I tried to recall what had happened in the first episode.
Okay, so first, the weather went out of control and it started snowing..
My tv suddenly switched on, convieniently set to the weather channel. ~"All over florida, outbreaks of snowstorms and below freezing temperatures were reported. The reason why is currently unknown." The reporter said, bored. "Now on to other news.."~
It fizzled and the broken screen went blank. Something cold landed on the back of my hand. I looked up to see tiny fluffballs of snow blowing harshly through my broken window.
And then they got their Digivices...
I looked down at the device in the palm of my hand.
And then..
My eyes flew open. I scrambled out of bed and grabbed my crossbody, hurriedly stuffing random supplies from around the room into it. Lighter, box of cookies, pocketknife, bandages that I probably should have used for my sprained ankle, advil, a chocolate bar, brush. I closed it and quickly slid on my jacket, slung my purse over my head, then ran out of the room. I dashed towards the front door and flung it open.
When I thought back on it, I couldn't remember exactly what kind of sound I made. I think it was a cross between a squeak and a hiccup.
A huge, roaring tsunami was rushing towards my house.
"Oh, crap."
It slammed into me, and I was sucked up towards the top of the wave with the swirling currents. I tumbled around and around and upside down and sideways until I had no idea which way was up and which way was down.
"Waaah!" I screamed impossibly. Somehow, I didn't drown. Then everything went black.
"Hello?" a voice asked. "Hey, are you okay?" I moaned and opened my eyes, squinting against the harsh sunlight. It was so cold.
"Oh, you're awake." My eyes focused on the figure hovering over me. Blond hair and blue eyes, with a green top.
No, no, no, no, no..
"Are you alright? That was some fall. tumbled right out of the sky, almost knocked me out, too." The smooth voice commented.
"Nyah," I coughed and sat up, rubbing my eyes and looking again. Yep, it was him.
"Matt?" I asked incredulously. Matt blinked.
"How'd you know my name?" He asked, surprised.
"Hey, Matt, where'd you go?" a child's voice called.
"Over here, T.k!" Matt yelled. I buried my face in my hands.
"Hey, T.k, wait for me!" A girl cried.
"Oh, sorry, Mimi!"
"Matt? Mimi? Guys?" someone shouted. I peeked through my fingers to confirm what I already knew- Sora and Tai were coming out of the woods.
"Oh, no. Oh, no." I moaned, pulling my knees up and rocking back and forth.
"Hey! Who's that?" Izzy asked.
"I don't like this, not one bit," Joe whined nervously, pushing up his glasses.
"I can't be in the digiworld! No way in heck!" By now everyone -most of the flipping Digidestined- were surrounding Matt and I, staring at me curiously. But where was Kari? Wasn't she a digidestined, too? Just which episode was I in, exactly?
Oh, great. 'Which episode am I in?' I'm looney!
"How do you already know this is the digiworld? None of us knew that when we first tumbled in." Tai stated.
"You're-I'm.. cartoon, no.. meateor-wave- snow, in florida.. tv.. Digimon!" I cried. They stared at me.
"Is she okay?" I heard T.k whisper.
"Ssh, T.k," Matt said quietly, looking at me uncertainly. Then, louder, said, "Maybe we should take her back to the cave. It's cold out here." He reached for my arm and gently took hold of my wrist.
He was touching me! That meant this was real!
"You.. touch.. feel! Real, dream-Not- This is real," I babbled. I stared at the hand holding my wrist.
Then, with horror, I looked at my own hand. Oh no.. It was anime.
I was anime!
I would like to say that I sucked it up and told the Digidestined what had happened. But, honestly?
I passed out.
DIGIMONDIGIMON
"Ugh.." I mumbled. I opened my eyes. It was dark. I was propped up in a sitting position against a cold, hard surface. I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand.
Okay, I thought reasonably. I'm in the Digiworld with no idea how to get home. No reason to panic.
Yeah, right.
I laughed. I was in the digiworld! "All I need now is a-"
"Hello!" A high- pitched voice cried. "Hello, hello, Charlotte!"
I grimaced and looked down. A small blue ball with green feet and a tuft of orange hair and yellow eyes was jumping excitedly. I looked at it closley. It was a little bigger, but..
"No way. Chaymon?" My digimon plush was an actual, existing digital monster. Joy.
"Yes! Chaymon, at your service! Charlotte, I'm so glad your here!"
"Charlie, please," I sighed. I looked down and realized I still had my bag on. I opened the flap and rummaged around for my box of cookies and ripped it open, shoving one in my mouth. In hindsight, it had been a really good idea to pack as soon as I realized what was going on.
Chaymon looked exactly like my homemade plush! I guess when I envisioned the 'perfect parter' some weird force helped me see her.
I knew my sewing wasn't that good..
I nibbled on another cookie. I fed one to Chaymon, who jumped into my lap happily. I laughed.
"Hey, you're awake. Again. Please don't pass out." I turned. Matt stood a few feet away, hands stuffed in his pockets.
"Mmph," I said with a mouthful of cookie. Matt smirked and walked over, sitting crisscross on the ground next to me, leaning back on the wall. I swallowed. "You want one?" I held out the box.
"No, thanks." I shrugged and put the box down beside me.
"So, do you have one of those weird devices?" he asked. I glanced at my belt, where the digivice was just barely peeking out from under my shirt.
"Yup."
"And a digimon partner?" I laughed and motioned to Chaymon, who had fallen asleep on my lap.
"Well, duh."
"Tidal wave?" He guessed. I nodded.
"Yessir."
"Sounds like another human from our world," He said. 'Hey, maybe why'll your here, you can help us."
I shifted uncomfortably. "Look, I'm not from here. I can't help you."
"What's your name, then?" Matt asked abruptly. I blinked.
"Uh, Charlie." I said awkwardly. He raised an eyebrow.
"A girl named Charlie? That's a first." He said.
"Oh, well, my names actually Charlotte, but please don't call me that." He nodded.
"Charlie. Right. Well, Charlie, none of us are from here." I shook my head and frowned.
"No, I mean I'm really not from here. Not the digiworld, and not your Earth. You see, back where I come from, you guys are actually my favorite tv show..."
A few hours later..
"-so you see, I'm not supposed to be here." I finished. Matt looked at me for a few seconds, absorbing this new information.
"So you have one of those electronic things." It was a statement, not a question.
"Yes..?" I said uncertainly, not quite sure where he was going with this.
"And a digimon."
"Well, yeah."
"And the wave got you."
"Yes."
He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "So I'd say that it doesn't matter If you're from here or not. The point is that you are here, Charlie. Even if it is weird that you watch us.."
I looked away, through the mouth of the cave at the sky. The stars twinkled brightly in the night. The same constellations as my world..
I pulled my knees up to my chin. "Maybe so," I said. "Maybe I am supposed to be here. But," I said quietly.
"But.. How am I supposed to get back home?" The question hung heavily in the air. For a while, neither of us spoke.
"I.. I don't know," Matt said finally, looking down. "We don't even know how to get back to our world."
We sat in silence for a while after that.
That's the million dollar question, isn't it? I thought, sighing.
"So, where are the others?" I asked.
"Most of them are out looking for food. Tai is God knows where, probably exploring that stupid mountain no matter what i said." He huffed.
I nodded awkwardly. "Um, so I'm guessing you guys fought over whether or not we're climbing Infinity mountain?"
A beat of silence. Then,
"How the- Oh. Watched that one, huh? Can you tell us what happens?" He said wryly.
"Actually, I can! I've seen every single-" I gasped.
Pulse. I swayed.
"Hey!" Matt said, alarmed. "What's wrong?"
Pulse. Pulse.
My vision flashed and blurred. There was this pulsing feeling in my chest. "Oh, good, Joe's back! Hey, Joe, you know doctor stuff, right?" I heard Matt call, but it was oh-so-quiet and far away and I couldn't hear and I couldn't see and Help, my head hurts! I cried out and grabbed my forehead.
Shriiiik!
A flash of light engulfed my vision briefly and I whimpered. But then it died away, and I blinked the spots away. Joe was in front of me, one hand holding up my eyelid -Didn't I grab my head? Oh well- and both he and Matt were looking at me worriedly, Gabumon and Gomamon beside them.
"-you hear me?" Joe was saying.
"Oh.. yeah. Yeah, I'm okay now." I mumbled. What was that all about?
"Are you sure?" I nodded.
"Okay. But if you start to feel sick again, let me know right away." He pushed up his glasses again.
"Uh, right. Sure, okay." Joe still looked uncertain, but he walked away and laid down to sleep on the floor, near the entrance of the cave. Gomamon soon followed.
"What was that?" Matt asked. Yeah, wouldn't you like to know.. join the club.
"I.. have no idea."
"Oh, well, if your okay now.."
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"...Then what were you saying? something about seeing every single..?" Matt trailed off.
"Oh, right! As I was saying, I've seen every single episode of Digimon there is!" I smiled brightly, then frowned.
"That's.. weird. Suddenly I can't remember anything past you guys fighting." I wracked my brain, but came up empty.
Why can't I remember?! I've seen every episode, like, seven times!
But strangely enough, it was true.
"Lose your memory? What's my name?" Matt asked, and I shook my head.
"No, not exactly.. but for whatever reason I can't remember a single episode after I got transported to Digiworld!"
He shrugged, but I could tell he was disapointed.
"Sorry, Matt, I wish I could tell you.." I apologized.
"Oh, no," He said, pink dusting over his cheeks. "No, that's not your fault."
There was a lull in the conversation, and we sat quietly for a while.
How do we get back? I thought. How do I get back? Can we get back?
Is it even possible?
A soft melody filled the air. I looked sideways to see Matt with his trademark harmonica. The sound was so much richer and peaceful now then it ever was on the show. I sighed, suddenly exhausted.
I relaxed against the tree. "Thats a pretty sound," I mumbled sleepily. Matt smiled softly against the harmonica. The music drifted through me, soothing and steady.
Whatever happens, I'll be fine. I always wanted to be in this world, didn't I? What was my exact thought again?
'I wish.' Guess I'll have to make the most of it..
At least I don't have homework.
so? Good? bad? should i continue?
review!
