A/N: Hi, guys! I'm sorry that this isn't Knights In Shinning Armor, but I've had a MAJOR writer's block. I know you guys know what it's like. Anyway, as you can see, this is a Digimon story. I've been craving to write it for SOOOOO long. Well, not that long, but long enough! It's my first Digimon story! Yipee! Oh, I'll try to have the next chapter of K.I.S.A. out soon. Sorry it's not out yet.
Disclaimer: Did any one notice that was a pretty long author's note? Oh, the disclaimer. I don't own Digimon. I do own a few characters in this story. I'll claim 'em when they come up.
Chapter 1.
A car pulled into a parking spot, closely followed by a moving van. A man stepped out of the driver's side, a woman on the passenger side, and a young girl (I own these people) from the back seat. The moving people stepped out and began to speak with the man.
The young girl looked around then said, "This is where Daddy's new work is? In Japan?"
"Yes, sweetie," her Mom patted her brown hair. The girl looked around again with her pretty green eyes, then sighed.
"I guess it'll do," she gave her reluctant approval.
"Let's go on up and see our new apartment," the girl's Dad said, leading the way.
-------
The apartment was ok. It had an average size living room, which a short hallway connected, to the small kitchen. A bathroom was located near the living room. Two bedroom doors were connected to the living room, both on opposite sides of the room. Right between the bathroom and a bedroom was a study.
The girl watched as the movers set boxes in different rooms. They set up the TV, her Mom's cooking utensils, a few lamps, furniture, and other thing they brought over from America. They should be done soon, so she could "go make friends" as her Mom put it. What kind of kid would live in an apartment?!
The mover's were done now, and asked for their money. Her Dad gave them some and they left. Her Mom walked to the young girl.
"Honey, I saw a girl your age," she patted her on the head.
"Really?" She asked.
"Yes," she nodded, "I could walk you over to her apartment and let you two get to know each other."
"Alright!"
-------
The girl's Mom rang the doorbell for the Kamia's ( is that how it's spelled?). They heard a woman call something, then the door opened.
"Oh, hi," she said. "You must be the people who moved in."
"Yes," the Mom said. "I'm Amanda and this is my daughter Jessica."
"I like to be called Jess," she corrected.
"Oh, yes, Kari told me there was a girl moving in and she couldn't wait to meet you," the woman smiled. "Please come in."
-------
The girl known as Kari was very nice. She didn't seem to think of herself at all. Jess didn't understand how she could be so nice. All of her friends back in America were never that nice. It was almost as if Kari was an angel.
"Wanna see my kitty?" She asked.
"Sure!" Jess agreed immediately. "I love cats!"
They walked to Kari's bedroom and found the cat sleeping on the top of the bunk bed. Kari smiled and picked up the kitty, causing her to wake up.
"Jess, this is Meeko," she smiled proudly (did I spell Meeko's name right?).
"Hi, Meeko," Jess petted the cat. She was very pretty. She had brown, black, and white patches all over. "Is she a Tabby?"
"Yep," Kari put the cat down.
"Um, how come you have a bunk bed?" Jess asked. "Do you have a brother or a sister?"
"I've got one brother. His name's Tai," Kari said. "He went to summer camp, though."
"Why didn't you go?" She asked. "If you don't mind my asking."
"I was sick earlier this summer," she explained. "Mom decided I shouldn't go to camp this year."
-------
The visit with Kari did Jess good. She was happy to have made a new friend already. Maybe Japan wasn't going to be such a bad place to live. If there were other girls here, she could make a whole bunch of friends!
-------
Over the next few days, Kari and Jess became good friends. They often went to the park with one of their mothers. One day something happened that would change their lives forever.
They were swinging on the swings, that day, not talking about anything inperticuler. Something about America, then moving to Japan, Kari's brother Tai, and many more things. Jess had looked up and noticed it was beginning to get cloudy.
"Maybe it'll rain," Kari suggested.
"What else could it do in the summer?" Jess laughed.
"I dunno," Kari teased, "maybe it'll snow!"
"Yeah," Jess teased her back. "Then it'll freeze the road!"
As they were laughing, Kari felt something cold land on her nose. She stopped laughing and looked up.
"What is it?" The other girl asked.
"Nothing, I guess," She said hesitantly.
They sat there for a moment, not saying anything, just swinging in silence. This time, it was Jess's turn to feel something cold. Not on her nose, but on her arm. She looked down at it to see a small puddle.
Kari turned to her and gave her a questioning look. Jess replied, "I felt something cold, but I don't know what it was."
"I felt it too!" Kari said.
"There it was again."
The two looked up to see small white flakes falling. A breeze began to blow and it became cold outside. They rubbed their arms as they went to find Kari's Mom.
-------
"Why's it snowing?" Jess asked.
"I'm not sure," Kari said. "It's never done this before."
They had gone back to Kari's apartment. Every now and then, they would walk out onto the deck and look down at the world below. Snow was beginning to stick to the ground. It wouldn't stick to the pavement yet because it was still warm.
'Japan has weird summers.' Jess thought when they had gone out on the deck. 'It snows during the summer. What'll it do during the winter? Be hot?'
The two girls quickly ran back inside. It was getting too cold to stay out for long.
"The hot chocolate's ready, girls!" Kari's Mom called from the kitchen. They ran to get some.
-------
After drinking the warm drink, they walked out onto the deck again. They peered down to see the snow, but it had melted! They didn't even notice that it had gotten warmer again!
"This is weird," Jess said. "It didn't have time to melt!"
"I don't even know why it snowed," Kari said.
"There's a first for the history books," Jess said.
Kari nodded.
It was warm again, but nobody went out. Nobody wanted to get caught in a snowstorm. Who knew if it would even snow again? The weathermen were all confused and no one could explain why they had a flash snowstorm, even though many tried.
-------
After a while, Jess's Mom came to pick her up. As they walked to their apartment, they chatted about that snow that had come along so suddenly.
"How deep did it get?" Jess asked.
"I don't think it got deeper than five inches," her Mom said.
"They didn't even have a warning!" Jess said. "Back in America, we'd get warnings for stuff like this."
"It came too suddenly for them to have a warning, sweetie," her Mom said as they approached their apartment.
"Do you think it'll always snow here?"
"I doubt it."
Jess's Mom opened the door and walked in. Jess followed.
'If it snowed during the summer, what's next?' She thought.
-------
A/N: I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter! I know it did have much action in it, but it'll get there. I'll try to make the second chapter better. Again, I'm sorry for not having the next chapter of Knights In Shinning Armor for you guys. Just have patience with me. Thanks.
