CHAPTER 1

BOTTLED UP FEELINGS

In the city of Odaiba Digimon are no longer thought to be monsters who only want to bring destruction to the city. But now after they have saved the world, they consider Digimons as friends.

It was just the end of school when the digidestined met and walked home together.

A blue dragon-like Digimon was outside a class room waiting for someone. Actually Veemon was waiting for two. The first was his partner Davis, a goggle wearing kid with a knack for leadership.

"Veemon", said Davis. "C'mon lets go. My mom's making our favorite meal and I don't wanna be late. "

"OK let's go Davi-"but Veemon could not finish his sentence because the second someone he is waiting for just stepped out of the room along with her partner.

She was a cat shaped Digimon that walked upright. Her long pointed ears ended in three purple tufts. Her paws had three claws each and were wrapped in yellow gloves. Her bright blue eyes shone like the morning sun. Her long tail ended in a small gold ring that she values very much. Her name was Gatomon.

As soon as she left the room Veemon was temporarily robbed of breath and blushed slightly. When she had greeted him hello he replied weakly.

They were soon joined by the other Digidestined- T.K, A blonde haired kid with his partner Patamon; Yolei, a sort of clumsy looking girl with her partner Hawkmon; Cody, the youngest of the group with his Armadillomon and lastly Ken, their former enemy along with Wormmon.

The group was on its way home when they started discussing their plans for the next day. It was alredt the weekends so they decided to have a picnic at the Digiworld.

"Okay, let's go over the plan one more time" said Davis to his friends. "At 7 tomorrow we meet up at my place, go to the Digiworld, set up our site and have the time of our lives!"

Everyone agreed and began talking but Veemon wasn't paying attention. He was so close to Gatomon but noone knew that he was blushing slightly. His behavior was very weird. By weird I mean he glances at Gatomonn but when she looks back he just looks forward.

"Something wrong Veemon" said Gatomon.

"N-No, everythins fine" he replied.

He was blushing even more now. Finally he decided to tell her how he fells.

"Gatomon the truth is that I-"but he never finished. The group had already separated and made their way home. Veemon went no longer blushing but sulking.

At dinner everyone was eating their food and sharing stories, well every one but Veemon.

"Veemon, why aren't you eating? I made your favorite food tonight." said Davis' mom at dinner.

"I'm sorry. It's just that …never mind. Can pleased be excused?" said Veemon and went into Davis's room.

He entered the room, pulled up a chair and sat gazing at the moon while thinking about his problem.

"This sucks." he thought sadly. "I love her very much but I can't even talk properly to her. I've known her for a long time but I just stop talking the moment she does. How can I ever confess to her?"

Veemon sat up and went to a secret hiding place that only he knows. From it he took out his most prized possession- a picture of Gatomon.

He looked at the photo for a few seconds ant then he began to talk.

"Gatomon, I l-l-l-lo-"he stammered but to no avail. "Why is it easier to think it then say it?" he thought.

He sighed and went back to gazing at the moon and by the time Davis was finished eatin Veemon was already in bed as hopeless as ever.
