Prelude: Happy, content, and peaceful: life after the digital world

Disclaimer: Digimon, characters of Digimon, and whatever involves Digimon (except this story) belong to some other people. I own none of it.


"The digital world as we all know is back to normal and the chaos that once reigned amongst the digimon had finally settled." I read these lines from my diary with a smile. It's been 8 years since the life-changing adventure ended. We all went our separate ways. Little Tomoki isn't so little anymore. He's pursuing his dream of becoming president of Japan's top video game programming industry. I'd say an intern is a pretty good start for him. Junpei had taken to the economy. The first time the gang and I saw him in a business suit we were startled. He acted so studious but it was still Junpei's humor that managed to get him his job.

The twins made contact with each other's parents once back and then only visited every now and then. Kouichi is aiming to be a doctor for troubled young adults. Kouji kind of shocked me when he started studying to be an engineer. Well, he never gave us any hints about what he's interested in.

Takuya doesn't really have a big dream. His love of soccer diminished. Weird. But here's the biggest shocker yet: after a few girlfriends, he laid his eyes on me! Of course I knew he liked me ever since returning, but he was always in some other girl's arms. I didn't really care as long as we were friends. One day a few years ago, we just decided to give it a try and then ended up here, engaged. Takuya proposed to me on my 20th birthday and we've been planning our wedding for a long time now.

It's true the gang may be split up and we miss each other very much, but the memories we shared are sometimes comforting enough. We always meet every 2 months at the old train station to catch up on things though. Sometimes Bokomon and Neemon contact us via our old cell phones (d-tectors.) They're just fine and have many new friends to keep them busy. Who could forget Salamon, Lopmon, and Patamon?

Me, I'm an average woman just living in this hectic world. Izumi: no longer in the corner, or hiding from reality- perfect description of my change. Oh yeah, I'm a general fashion designer for Miki Fashion Corporation. Remember how I was always lonely before the digital world? Well I definitely have more friends and courage than when I was younger. I met my best friend Trista Mayazaki in the middle of junior high and we still hang out with each other. She and I have many things in common so it wasn't surprising that we enrolled in the same college. Trista also works for Miki Fashion Co. but she specializes in seasonal apparel while I look for monthly trends.

Now, I'm sitting alone at a park writing in my diary and continuing the story of my life. I'm remembering the past but moving on into a new future as the days go by.

AznGurl: It's short but only a beginning to a long story. How do you like it so far? Yeah, I'm finally an author and I hope that I'm a good one. Let me know by reviewing and I'll see you all soon!
