Transformation And Test Run
Sam was standing in a familiar white room. He looked around getting the sensation that he was not alone. Seeing that he could do nothing else, Sam decided to start walking and see if he could get anywhere. Suddenly he felt someone's eyes on him, or rather the better term is that he sensed someone's eyes on him. He looked around again, peeling his eyes for any sort of movement. All of a sudden he was tackled to the ground hard. It was on top of him, he could feel its breath as it got closer and closer to his face. It raised its paw and… started to tickle his side.
"Renamon ple… please stop. I can't, Ha! No stop!" Sam was spluttering, laughing uncontrollably and trying to wiggle out of her grasp.
"No can do Sam, you lost the game. Therefore I get the prize and you get to lay there and take it. Besides you said yes when I asked if you wanted to play a game."
Sam looked up at her with his best unhappy face that he could manage, although due to her constant tickling it didn't last very long. "Yeah I did but I didn't think that this was what you had in mind, I thought you meant twenty questions or something."
Renamon stopped her tickling momentarily, gazing down at Sam with an inquisitive look on her face. "This twenty questions, how do you play it?" She asked.
"Well it's pretty simple to be fair. We just take turns in asking the other questions and when we have asked twenty we stop"
Renamon got of Sam and offered her paw to help him back up too. He took it and with a quick snap of his fingers two chairs materialised into the empty room.
Hmm it's missing something, one second," said Sam.
He closed his eyes and started to think of what else he could bring into the lifeless room. Suddenly the whole room glowed yellow and a number of household objects materialized into the space. There were the two chairs, a fireplace mixed in with a carpet and rug, a small coffee table and a double bed in the corner. All in all a relaxing and comfortable room.
Renamon stared at Sam in slight shock, her mouth slightly open. "How…how did you do that?"
Sam merely grinned at her and sat on one of the chairs, gesturing for her to do the same. "Is that one of your questions Renamon?"
Renamon went to the chair and sat down on it, sticking her tongue out at Sam. "Actually yes it is, how did you just do that?"
Sam grinned and gave a small shrug. "I guess the term *my mind, my rules* works here." Renamon gave him a fake hurt look, pouting slightly.
"Ok fine, our mind, our rules. Better?" he grumbled
"Much." She replied. "So then since I asked you a question, you ask me one right?"
Sam nodded and thought briefly before a small smirk came to his lips. "Alright here's one for you. Where are you most ticklish?"
Renamon moved uncomfortably in her seat before muttering something incomprehensible.
"Sorry didn't quite here that." Sam had a rather large smirk on his face now.
Renamon sighed before repeating what she said. "I said just above my tail."
Sam's eyebrow quirked up slightly. "Ooook then, good to know. Anyway it's your turn."
Renamon seemed to be in deep thought for a few moments before a small smirk of her own graced itself on her muzzle. "Alright how about this. When I told you my name you recognised it. But from what I've gathered Digimon don't exist here, only humans and a few other species, not species of data though. So how did you know who and what I was?"
Sam looked a bit nervous, unsure on how she would react to being told that every human that watched the show thought that she wasn't real. "Well, uh you see…"
Renamon gave Sam a funny look. Watching him trying to piece together a sentence seemed highly amusing to her. "Come on, how do you know?"
Sam took a deep breath, preparing himself for the possibility of an upset Renamon. "Well you see back when I was a child we had a show which we watched on something called a television. This is sort of like a window that you look at. It shows you all sorts of stuff, ranging from fiction to fact. Do you follow me?"
Renamon looked slightly confused but nodded, signalling for Sam to continue.
"Right, well like I said there was a show I watched when I was a child. It was called…Digimon. I'll tell you the plot later but it basically showed the digital world and of course Digimon. And that's how I know what and who you are."
Renamon looked slightly shocked and even a little bit upset. "So I'm just a piece of fiction to you humans? I don't exist and I'm nothing more than something you see on a magical window?" She looked at Sam as he seemed to try and formulate an answer. "Sam. Am I real? To you I mean, am I real enough for you? Am I good enough for you?" Her voice broke a little at the last few words as she struggled to keep her composure.
Sam looked at her with wide eyes and got up of his seat, rushing over to her and putting his hands on her shoulders. "Of course you are. What kind of a question is that? Why would you even think that? I mean I understand that you're upset but do you think I would have let you into my mind if you weren't and I quote. *Good enough*.
Renamon stared at Sam with a strange expression on her face, looking at one of his hands touching her. Then finally she smiled, her eyes twinkling. "Thank you, I'm sorry for doubting you Sam. Forgive me."
"Thiers nothing to forgive Renamon, let's just forget about it and move on. It's my turn now anyway."
He took his hands of her and started to walk back to his chair. "Wait!" shouted Renamon. Sam jumped slightly and turned around with his eyebrow raised.
Renamon coughed awkwardly before continuing. "Can you… I mean can we umm, hug?"
Sam looked at her with a little bit of surprise but smiled warmly. "Um sure, come here then." Renamon ran over to him and quickly put her arms around him. Sam chuckled quietly and put his own arms around her.
They remained that way for a while. Renamon was feeling very comfortable and defiantly not wanting to let go anytime soon. She made a point of this by snuggling her muzzle under his chin. And Sam was feeling a strange mixture of emotions. But felt content and was happy that she was happy. Until he felt something touching the back of his neck, breaking their relaxing moment.
"Renamon?"
"Yes Sam?"
"Umm your tail is sort of wrapped around me."
"And?"
"And it's kind of tickling my neck a little."
Renamon opened her eyes and saw that her tail was indeed wrapped around Sam's waist, stroking the back of his neck soothingly. She quickly retracted it and backed away with an apology.
"Why was my tail doing that, it's never done that. I must have just been really comfortable and my tail was just doing that subconsciously. I can't think of anything except… no it's just a subconscious reaction, there is no way it can be that. Right?"
"Um Renamon, hello. You there?" asked Sam.
"Yeah I'm good. Sorry let's just uhh, it's your turn now right?" She stopped spluttering words and looked at Sam with an innocent look on her face.
Sam looked at her with an almost unnoticeable smirk and was about to reply. Suddenly the room glowed bright yellow signifying the end of their physical time together, seeing that they could only touch each other when Sam slept. They both looked at each other once more, before the light blinded Sam's eyes and he fell into nothingness.
The first thing Sam noticed was that he was sleeping on his stomach, the other thing he noticed was that it wasn't uncomfortable like it usually was. Feeling drowsy and confused, Sam dragged himself of his bed and made his way towards the bathroom. Once inside he turned on the sink and splashed some water over his face whilst wiping the sleep out of his eyes. He then turned towards the mirror and opened his mouth in shock.
It was almost surreal for him, to stare into that mirror… and see someone he never thought he could be staring back at him. His hair had changed slightly, gaining golden yellow tips and having grown an inch or two making him look like a Japanese anime character. Any and all fat that he had before had vanished, having turned into pure muscle but not like a bodybuilder. It more like the build of a light heavyweight boxer. He could also feel some sort of strength inside him...No not strength. Power, pure absolute power.
"Holy fuck, what the hell…is this what you meant when you said my body would change?" muttered Sam.
"Pretty much yeah, I like it and from the emotions I'm getting you I'm guessing you like it too," replied Renamon. Although Sam didn't know it she was very happy that he seemed pleased with his bodies' adaption to her DNA.
Sam took one last look at himself before grinning and taking his clothes off so he could have a shower. "Renamon, do you mind umm not looking when I shower. It can get quite…awkward otherwise."
"Come on Sam it can't be that bad, besides it'd not like I'm renting your mind or anything I'm here for the long haul. So don't you think it makes sense to get used to me… gazing in your direction every once in a while?"
Sam was feeling so flustered that he didn't notice the slight seductive tone in her last few words. "I err suppose that makes some sense, I'll just be quick." After a fast and for Sam, slightly uncomfortable shower, he went back into his room to get dressed but quickly came across a problem.
"Oh fantastic I knew I hadn't figured out something, my clothes don't bloody fit." He could hear Renamon giggling loudly, and so he shook his head with a grimace. "You might find this funny but I don't, I mean come on what am I supposed to wear for college today.
"He he I don't know Sam, maybe you can wrap your um lower clothes with some rope or something."
"Hmm not a bad idea but I think I'll just use a belt. I don't really wanna hurt myself with some rope. Seriously rope burn hurts like hell."
Renamon seemed to laugh even louder at that making Sam believe he had said something stupid. "What's so funny?" he asked.
"You think that…ha…rope can hurt us…ha ha ha." He heard Renamon starting to take deep breaths to stop herself from choking although she still giggled occasionally.
"Well it can, cant it? I mean I once got a really bad case of rope burn from a dare I did with… um anyway why wouldn't it hurt me?"
"Tell you what Sam, you go and get dressed and when we go for are little test run I'll show you. Sound far?"
Sam nodded his head and made his way with a belt he had found in a long forgotten draw. He was quite surprised when it didn't feel tight enough until it reached the last hole. After finding a plain black top he hadn't worn since his early school days, he made his way back to the bathroom and made to style his hair like he usually did. Which also proved to be a bit of a problem because not only would it not move from its wild look but the when the gel made contact it just seemed to slide of his hair like water.
Actually when he really felt his hair, he found that he couldn't bend it properly or even move it in the slightest. "What's this made out of steel?" he said with frustration. Renamon didn't answer this time leaving him confused and a little bit annoyed but no matter, he turned around and made his way downstairs, chucking his much looser black coat on at the same time. Making sure his badge was on Sam opened the front door, gave a quick goodbye and made his way outside and towards the forest.
"You're going to enjoy this Sam I promise you." Said Renamon, who had seemingly decided to come out of her prolonged silence.
"I believe you, but what kind of err test run is this going to be because… Oh for fuck sake the bus! It's about to get here in two minutes. Damn, next time remind me not to try and style my hair for ten minutes because it didn't work anyway." Sam prepared himself to start running only for Renamon to stop him.
"Wait! Don't head for the bus. I take it you remember your way to college of by heart right?"
"Yeah, I've been going there for a year now this is my second." He replied.
"Good, now then time for your test run. First thing first, I want you us to merge now. We are out of sight so no one should see us and besides no one else aside from us can see that glow when we merge so it should be safe even if we are surrounded my other humans.
"But what about our voice, won't that be noticeable?"
"No, when we merge we should be able to choose the way our voice sounds. Only if one of us is unconscious or like last time when we weren't merged together will our voice sound strange. Oh and emotion might change it as well although I'm not sure what type so be careful."
Once Sam had took all this in he started to focus on merging. "I can't do it, I don't know how Renamon. Every time I try I seem to hit some sort of wall.
"That's because your trying to force it, you need to ease into it Sam. If you keep trying to force it then your mind can become fractured so just take a breath and try again."
Sam nodded and tried to do what she said. He took a deep steady breath and focused, trying ever so gently to ease his mind through the barrier. He could feel the wall become softer and more liquidated, until he finally breached it and made his way to the other side.
Instantly he felt the changes. The power that he felt coursing through him seemed to boil softly, indicating that he could now use it properly. His eyes shimmered from his hazel to Renamon's blue and to his surprise he felt his canines grow and become sharper. Not to the point where they stuck out of his mouth but enough to make them graze his tongue slightly. Thankfully though their points didn't touch it only the sides. Lastly he felt his ears change, the tips looking more elfish. Though this needn't be a worry since they were well hidden under his hair.
All of this took place in only a few seconds but it felt a lot longer to Sam. He opened his eyes and blinked rapidly in order to get his vision back to full focus. Then he noticed something… in a lot of different ways.
"Whoa Renamon, I can see everything all the way to the end of the forest and the smells, wow the smells. Is this what it is like for you normally? Oh my god I can hear everything! That ant climbing up that leaf and those squirrels yapping on top of that tree."
Renamon chuckled lightly at Sam's appreciation towards her natural senses. "Pretty much, and if you think that's good just you wait until we really get started. It's time to for your test run and as you and I just heard the bus leave I'd recommend getting a move on."
"Right ok but what am I doing exactly?" he asked.
"We're going to run to college Sam and before you start yapping nonsense on how we can't run that far, I bet you that we can reach it before the bus does."
Sam was shaking his head in disbelief but decided to comply, after all what did he have to lose. He started to run through the forest at what he thought was his usual pace… until he really started to run.
It was like he could see every turn, twist and corner. Every detail of everything in front and behind him seemed to just sit there in his mind, telling him which way wouldn't cause him to crash into something. Not that he actually could, his balance and mobility seemed to have evolved to such a state where tripping into something seemed laughable.
Everything seemed to blur past him as he got out of the forest and headed onto the street. "Won't people see us Renamon, it isn't exactly deserted at this time." Sam asked.
"Ha! See us? I doubt that Sam. To every other human we are moving at such a speed that we are invisible to the naked eye, the only thing they will notice will be a small breeze of wind if we get too close to them…but just to make sure watch this."
Sam suddenly felt the urge to jump and against his better sense he actually did, flying through the air at a controlled yet very fast pace. "HOLY SHIT! We are not going to do what I think we are right?" He felt a bit of dread as Renamon only replied with an evil sounding laugh.
He then landed on a building and began doing what could only be described as parkour or free running. He jumped, climbed and ran up buildings until he saw that his little village was becoming distant and the town where his college was became more prominent. Sam then noticed his bus speeding along next to him and decided to pull a little bit of fun on the unsuspecting bus driver. He jumped of the building he just climbed up on and landed on the bus silently, he then saw an open window on the back of it and noticed that the back of the bus was empty. Quickly and without any noise he climbed through the window and sat down on the back seat, with no one having noticed him.
The bus then began to slow down at one of its earlier stops before the college. Sam took this moment to walk down to the door and gave the driver his thanks. The driver nodded his head and waved him of, looking down at the ticket box… before realising that he never saw Sam that morning and hadn't picked him up at one of the stops either. Bewildered he looked up and went to call him back only to find that he was nowhere to be seen, confused he looked back at the road and began to continue on with his usual journey.
Sam and Renamon however were laughing like idiots as they quickly lost the sight of the bus driver and began to sprint towards college, making it towards the side entrance and stopping after hiding behind a large multi-coloured bush. Like before he focused and de-merged from Renamon until he looked like he did when he first woke up this morning.
"Ok you win the bet, damn I really didn't see myself doing that today." said Sam.
"Told you ya would, anyway I can't wait to see what this college of yours entails. I think it's going to be fun." She replied.
Smiling slightly, Sam made his way around the bush and headed inside the college. Instantly a small group of three walked towards Sam at a fast pace startling him into an almost aggressive stance.
"Easy there cowboy, we all just wanted to say thanks for what ya did yesterday." Said one of them. She was a girl about his own age and had a sort of western look to her.
Sam was confused. "What I did yesterday, what do you mean?" he asked.
Another one of them, a boy this this time, laughed loudly. "Look at you trying to act all modest, you kicked the crud outta the Greenhill bro's that's what. We saw them running outta that alleyway down near the college with their tails between their legs and then you just waltz outta there and walk away like it was nothing. Those tits have been giving everyone trouble for almost two years and now they've stopped altogether and have even apologised to the people they tormented. So yeah that's what we're thanking you for."
Sam gained a sheepish expression on his face and looked down. "It's no problem, I mean it wasn't exactly my first choice but you know sometimes enough is enough and you just got to stick up for yourself."
Renamon chose this moment to add her own comment in.
"Exactly Sam, I told you that this would go down well and now look. Those people are thankful and I doubt those foolish brothers will try anything to anyone now."
Sam nodded slightly so it wouldn't be seen by anyone but her and looked up at the group. "Well err thanks for the thanks I guess, I'm Sam *******, nice to meet you." He put his hand out to shake.
The girl took a step forward and shook his hand, wincing slightly but still smiling.
"Well I'll be Sam that's a mighty strong grip ya got there, my names Cassie and this here is Jake and Alex."
Jake shook his hand," Good to meet you Sam, we aren't exactly the most normal people you'll see but I'm sure you're not either, I mean come on where's the fun in that?" He had a slight American accent leaving Sam wondering how he met up with the other two. He also had short spiky blond hair and a tattoo of a bird of some sort on the side of his face.
"You have no idea how right you are Jake, I am defiantly not your normal human being but I have no problem with that." said Sam. He looked to his left and saw his reflection in the semi reflective windows. It flickered until it was Renamon staring back at Sam with a wicked smile and twinkling eyes. Before vanishing and returning his reflection back to normal.
Sam shook his head and shook Alex's hand. "Well supado Sam, Cassie here is ma little sis and Jake and I have known each other for bout forever. But he's right we all aint exactly normal but I think ya'l aint either. He like Cassie had a slight southern accent which didn't quite mix in with his gothic look of long black hair and studs everywhere on his body.
"Well it's been fun meeting you but I've got to go to class before my tutor blows a fuse or something. Wanna meet up later?" asked Sam.
Cassie flashed him a smile and nodded. "Sure thing Sam we all wanna talk with ya'l later anyways, lets meet up over by the abandoned railway at lunch. Ya know it?"
"Sure, it's a little out of town right?"
She nodded, "Yep shouldn't be much of a distance for a guy like you, catch ya laters."
They all waved and walked away while Sam headed in the other direction towards his class.
"Sam something felt weird with those people, I don't exactly know what but I could feel something when you shook their hands." Said Renamon.
"What do you mean?" he thought back.
"I'm not sure yet but let's go and meet them when you have your lunch break thing because I want to find out."
"Sure thing, I'm a little curious now too." And with that they headed through the door and into Sam's class.
"Samuel *******, do you mind telling me where the hell you were yesterday boy because I'm very sure I didn't give you permission to leave."
"Oh great…"
Guess who didn't disappear? Huh, huh you get it yet? That's right, it's a me Zamairiac.
