Hiya guys~!
So hey, did anyone ever notice that if you switch 2 letters of Bokomon, you get Bookmon? I don't know...thought it was kinda funny 😋
Well, I hope you all enjoy~
Disclaimer: Let's see... *opens wallet* Nope. No money. Guess I don't own digimon or any of its characters. I do still own Sophia, her Spirits, the small plot changes and any digimon that doesn't appear on the wiki.
Not long after the warriors left the Candlemon village, it was getting even darker than it already was. They should've been long asleep already, but because of Candlemon's little trick they didn't really trust them enough to stay the night.
"Guys, it's starting to get really dark. Shouldn't we go to sleep?" Koichi suggested.
"I'm with ya, Koichi." Sophia said, covering up a yawn.
Tommy nodded, rubbing his eyes. "Me too." He said. "Spirit Evolving takes a lot out of you."
"Alright then guys. Let's rest here." Takuya finally agreed.
Nobody disagreed with him there, or even commented on him taking the leader position again. Everyone was too tired. It had been a busy day after all. Takuya Spirit Evolving 3 times, first to fight Ceberumon, then Pagumon/Raremon, and then to fight the Candlemon/Wizardmon. No surprise that he was the first to fall asleep, of course followed by Tommy, who was tired from Spirit Evolving for the first time. The others were just tired because of the walking.
'Why am I not asleep yet?' Sophia thought, the heaviness in her eyes making her cranky.
She'd always had a messed up sleep schedule, falling asleep between 2 and 3 AM on a daily basis, but she'd hoped the excitement and tiring exercise of that day would help her clonk out faster. Instead it seemed to have the opposite effect.
And of course right when felt she was about to fall asleep, something disturbed her. Right next to her, Koichi suddenly bolted up, soaked in sweat and with a panicked look on his face.
Curious, Sophia raised an eyebrow. "You okay there, Koichi?"
He looked up surprised, obviously not expecting someone to be up. Seeing who it was, he just gave a reassuring smile. "I'm fine. It was just a nightmare." He said. "But why are you still up?"
"Can't sleep." The brunette sighed. "To much on my mind I guess. That's usually the case when I can't sleep."
"Really?" Koichi asked. "What are you thinking about then?"
"Nothing important really." She lied. "Just a bit homesick, I guess." Again a lie.
"You're not a very good liar." Okay, that was a surprise. "Can't you tell me? I trusted you with my problem. I'd like to return the favor."
Sophia sighed again. "Fair enough…" She thought for a second. "Okay, fine. But promise you to keep it secret?" Koichi nodded. "I know it'll sound strange, and I'm not even sure how it happened, but I'm from another world?" she made it sound more like a question than a statement, but she was unsure of the whole situation herself. She watched Koichi, who stayed surprisingly quiet. "I'm not sure what happened either. One moment I'm home in the Netherlands and the next there's this huge light and I'm in Japan. The only reason I know it's a different world is because digimon was a huge thing where I'm from and here it didn't even seem to exist."
"What do you mean 'digimon was a huge thing'?" Koichi asked her.
"I mean it had multiple anime, games and merchandise." Sophia explained. "But there was nothing about it when I Googled for it after that light washed over us." She clenched the sleeve of her jacket when she remembered the worst part. "And to make it even worse, only my dad and I were home when it happened. So I'm not even sure where my mom and sister are right now." Tears stung in her eyes. "I can't even go back to check if they were telelported too." She wiped her tears with her sleeve, refusing to look Koichi's way. "Look, I understand if you don't believe me. I wouldn't believe me."
"I believe you." That was surprising. "I mean, we did just get taken to another world ourselves. And besides, I doubt you'd be this emotional if you weren't telling the truth."
The dam finally broke and Sophia let loose the waterworks. Koichi sat down next to her, rubbing her back in a soothing manner. She cried until exhaustion finally caught up to her and she fell asleep against the boy's shoulder.
Koichi smiled softly at her, wiping away the stray tears. He didn't show it during her story, but the things she told him about digimon weighed on him. He would have to wait until tomorrow to ask her about it, though. He slowly lowered her back on the ground, falling asleep himself soon after.
The next morning they woke up to Zoe yelling at everyone to wake up. Together they spend the next 10 minutes waking the oh-so-great leader… When he was finally awake, they were on their way again. After a couple of hours of walking, they ended up in a desert area. Everyone was tired at that point.
'Well… At least I can get fit because of this walking…' Sophia thought. 'Then again…' She added after eyeing JP.
"So guys are we there yet?" Previous mentioned plump boy asked.
"Let's see what's wrong with this picture? Desert looking wasteland, Forest Terminal?" Takuya compared, already stating the obvious. "I'd say no."
"I'm tired." Tommy said, stopping in his tracks. "Let's take a rest"
Instead, Takuya pushed him forward, saying something about a scenic lookout up ahead… Really? Because the only thing they could see were miles and miles of sand and nothing!
Feeling bad or the kid, Sophia crouched down in front of Tommy. "Climb on." She told him. "I can give you a piggyback ride, so you can rest a little."
"Are you sure you can hold me?" he asked.
Sophia nodded, so he climbed on and they began moving again.
"You know JP, if you hadn't fed chocolate to that Trailmon, we'd be riding in air conditioning comfort right now." Takuya complained to the older boy.
"So he made a mistake, what are you gonna do? Take away his bowling shoes." Zoe asked.
Sophia raised an eyebrow. "Bowling shoes?" she wondered out loud. "What?"*
Before Zoe could give her an answer, a loud honk sounded through the air. It was a Trailmon, as Takuya was happily pointing out…loudly.
"There's no need to be so loud." Koichi commented. "We're right here."
The pink mole Trailmon slowed down, stopping just in front of Takuya.
"Hey, Trailmon, what's up?" The goggle-head asked. "Can you take us to the forest terminal?"
The train-like digimon looked to the side uncomfortably. "Oh, I overate at my last stop." He said. "Besides, I'm a freight train. No riders, no exceptions."
Before the Trailmon had even finished, Zoe had run up to him and jumped on one of his outer pipes.
"Trailmon, I am as light as bubble wrap." Zoe told him as she jumped on. "Andiamo**."
The others followed her example and jumped on. This included Tommy, who'd jumped off Sophia's back, but excluded Koichi, who listened and had respect for the fact he was a freight train, and Sophia because obvious reasons.
"Just think of us all as cargo." Takuya added to the lift-plea.
Suddenly Mole began moving up and down, shaking his paws. "Your little fingers are tickling me something awful." He said between laughs as he shook everybody off of him. "It's too much. I'd like to bend the rules, but I'm just too ticklish. I'm sorry, kids." As he began driving away from the group he said one more useless thing. "Keep on this track you'll get there." And with that piece of useless information, which they already knew, he was gone.
Takuya stared after him, still upside down on his head. "So much for…getting there soon." He said, while Zoe complained behind him.
"So much for not landing on your head, huh?" Sophia said with a small, amused smirk.
Zoe stood up from her spot in the dirt and yelled after the digimon. Of course this was to no avail, so the group had no other choice but to move on. Eventually after who knows how long, they ended up at a split route.
Bokomon jumped on the switch, swinging it from left to right and back multiple times. "The track splits here. Now with way to go? Left or right? Or right or left? Or…up or down? Long or low? Fast or slow? Time to make a decision." He said, jumping off the thing. "Urgh I made myself sick."
"You looked like such a little kid on that switch." Sophia teased the white digimon, who didn't look amused.
Takuya pointed to the left, to the desert area. "This way."
"That way." Zoe disagreed, pointing to the forest area.
Rolling her eyes, Sophia left the group, walking toward the right. She hated arguments, no matter how small, so why bother listening to one when you can just walk away from it? …Pretty bad logic, actually… Oh well. She kept walking until she reached the Breeze Village train station. On the other side of the track she saw Koji, still sleeping. She decided to go over to him. Just as she set foot on the other platform, he woke up and saw Sophia.
"Urgh… Not you again." He muttered loudly. "What do you want?"
"I just wanna talk…"
He shrugged and turned, not even bothering to listen to her. This caused some anger to stir inside the brunette.
"Okay, that does it, Pretty boy! Why do you act so mean around us? We haven't even done anything! I understand feeling uncomfortable or wanting to do things on your own, but this isn't normal! Do you treat your parents like this as well, or what?!" The moment those words left her mouth she regretted it.
Now it was Koji's turn to blow up. "You know nothing about me!" he yelled at her, rightfully so. "Don't you dare assume anything about my life! So what if I'm 'mean', I have the right to be mad! Not only does he just bring home some other woman, trying to replace my mother, but he's also been lying to me my entire life! And he thinks that's all fine and dandy! It's not! And it pisses me off that he's been fine with it for so long! So don't you dare tell me how to feel!"
After that outburst Koji had to take a breather, mentally scolding himself for what he'd decided to tell this stranger.
"Feeling better now?" Sophia asked, to which he just looked away from her. "I'm not telling you how to feel. Be pissed at your dad, I don't care, but don't take your anger out on us." In response Koji turned away from her, his back now towards her. "Your dad sounds like a jerk, if he really lied to you for that long I mean."
Koji clenched his fists at the reminder. "He told me I'm an only child. I'm not." He gritted his teeth, remembering the photo album he found in the attic a few weeks ago. "He never bothered to tell me I had a brother."
Sophia's eyes widened. "A brother?" He knew?
"Why do you care anyway?" the bandanna wearing boy snapped.
Before she could give an answer, the rest of the gang - minus Takuya and Tommy - dropped in. Zoe spotted them immediately instead of looking at the sign first.
"Hey, Koji. What's up?" she greeted.
Looking up, Koji more people on the other side of the track. He scowled. Of course this girl wasn't alone.
Koichi smiled when he saw the brunette. "Sophia, so that's where you've been." But seeing his brother, he immediately fell silent.
Koji didn't have a response other than a split second stare, and just jumped off the platform.
"Eh? Where are you going?" Zoe asked as the lone-wolf walked in the direction of the forest, away from them.
He turned his head to face her for a second. "Where I go is my own business." He said. "Thanks for asking." Then he continued on his way to the forest.
"Oh, you're so antisocial!" Zoe called to his back.
"He reminds me of white chocolate." JP said, possibly trying to lift the mood a bit. "It may look good, but no taste."
Sophia shot a glare his way. "Shut up, JP. He has his reasons." She said, remembering what he'd told her. "Besides, white chocolate is the best."
Bokomon went on to explain stuff about the village, but Sophia didn't pay much attention. Instead she pulled Koichi away to talk to him a little more privately.
"Sophia? What are you doing?" Koichi questioned.
The brunette just smiled. "I had a talk with Koji before you came." This silenced the boy. "He knows he has a brother."
"Really?" he asked. That was great news! "How?"
Sophia shrugged. "I don't know. He didn't tell." she told him. "Though, now that I think of it… He said he had a brother. Past tense."
Koichi's shoulders sagged. "So, he might think I'm-" He couldn't finish that sentence.
"I don't know! He might not." Sophia rushed to try and reassure him. "Like I said, he didn't tell me much."
Well, Koichi supposed that was better than nothing. "Hey, I didn't ask earlier, but how are you doing after last night?"
Oh, right… That happened. Sophia cringed at the reminder. "Better. I'm sorry for dumping all of that on you, though."
"Oh, it's alright." Koichi hurried up to say. "I did the same, didn't I? But something you said bothers me a little." Sophia tilted her head, wondering what it could be. "You said that digimon to you was an anime…"
Realizing her mistake, she hurried to fix her mistake. "Yeah. A few seasons about kids getting digimon partners and being tasked to safe either the digital world, earth or both." Just give him a small lie of omission. "Never anything like this." She gestured around her. "I mean, how weird would that be?"
Koichi let out a sigh of relief. "Pretty weird, I'd say."
Suddenly they heard JP shouting at them. "Hey, lovebirds! Come on! Let's check out this dump."
Completely silent for a few seconds, the duo looked at the plump boy. Finally a vein popped by Sophia. "Lovebirds?!" She picked up a stray pebble, throwing it at the back of JP's head. "Say that again, fat boy. I dare you!"
Sighing, the two went separate ways to look for…things? What were they looking for again? Sophia climbed on top of a tree branch, looking around. She saw JP busy with his D-Tector, Zoe on another way thicker tree branch and Koichi mostly shooting glances at the direction Koji left.
'Poor guy.' She thought.
She looked away from him, guilt biting at her. Technically she didn't lie! Things were different now. She'd never watched the series like how it was now. And it wasn't like she could just tell them the truth. It would freak them out!
"Zoe! My D-Tector! It's flashing!" Much like JP was freaking out abut his D-Tector right now. Why did his start flashing instead of Zoe's anyways?
Zoe turned around to face him, but she misplaced her foot and slipped. She fell on one of the huge roots and went down it like it was some kind of slide. Unfortunately the root stopped when it took a sharp turn downwards. Zoe screamed as she fell down and into the waiting hands of the giggling Floramon. When the others finally made it to Zoe, she told them the Floramon had invited them to lunch. Some stomachs growled and they all realized they hadn't eaten in over a day. They followed the flower digimon to a desert-looking village and in one of the houses.
"How thoughtful of you to invite us for lunch." Zoe said as the soup was being placed in front of them.
Sophia nodded. "We haven't eaten in a while, I don't even care what I eat." She said. 'Which says something, cuz I'm very picky.' But they didn't need to know that part.
"Yeah, thanks." JP said. "I wouldn't mind a bowl or ten."
Koichi just ate his soup in silence. The girls followed his example, at least for 1 slurp.
"Molto bono! Yum!" Zoe exclaimed.
"Heerlijk!" Sophia exclaimed as well.
The boys glanced at them questioningly. "Eh… Melted what?" "Hee- huh?"
"Molto bono. It's Italian for delicious." Zoe explained. "This soup is great!"
Sophia nodded. "I agree. Heerlijk is Dutch for delicious as well."
The Floramon were happy to hear that.
"I must know, how do you call this soup?" Zoe asked them.
"Yeah, and how do you make it?" Koichi asked.
While the Floramon were busy showing how they make their 'Cram soup a la Floramon', Sophia was busy trying to finish the soup before the Floramon finished. Unfortunately the Floramon were done first, which caused a couple strange looks towards the girl who was still slurping happily.
"You're really gonna eat that?" JP asked her. "It's made in their heads."
"Most vegetables grow out of cow poop and some forms of candy and food are made with bugs, but we still eat that." Sophia countered, pushing away her empty bowl. "Thanks for the food."
She stood up, together with Zoe, and went outside with one of the Floramon. Zoe made a comment about the wind, causing the brunette to giggle.
"What?" Zoe asked her.
Sophia waved it off. "Nothing. Inside joke."
They were talking a bit more about the tree and the tourists that used to come. Zoe came up with the idea to plant some flowers to help getting back some tourists. But the Floramon said they weren't strong enough to dig in the hard soil.
"Well, I can help." Zoe said. "I know this strong guy."
She looked towards JP and the Floramon immediately caught on. They grabbed both him and Koichi by the arm, dragging them over to the girls.
"You have arms like tree trunks." One of the two Floramon said. "You'll be a good digger."
"And you look very strong too." The other one said about Koichi.
JP frowned and pulled his arm back. "Me? No way!"
"You know what impresses me?" Zoe asked Sophia, starting a little play. "Strong guys who help out, without even being asked."
Sophia nodded. "Those kinds of guys are the best."
Of course JP immediately agreed to help, trying to impress Zoe. Of course Koichi and the girls helped as well. All was going well, until suddenly 3 Mushroomon jumped out of a bush and started wrecking the flowers that were just planted.
"We are…" The first one said.
"The Mushroomon…" The second one continued.
"Brothers, yeah!" The third and last one finished.
The brothers told the Floramon about what they thought of planting flowers, about it being a waste of time. The Floramon desperately begged them not to destroy the flowers, but they didn't listen and launched a second attack.
"GIGGLE GRENADE!"
The attack launched a couple small mushrooms at the ground, which exploded and spread spores. Almost immediately after the Floramon inhaled the spores, they began giggling and laughing.
"What's so funny?" Zoe asked. "They're trouble."
The Mushroomon just chuckled, explaining how it were the spores that send the Floramon into an endless giggling.
"What did we ever do to deserve all this meanness?" one of the Floramon asked between giggles. "We used to greet the visitors at the station together, remember?"
"She's right. In those days, you were real fun guys." another agreed.
"You Floramon were always more popular with the tourists! They all liked you better!" One of the Mushroomon exclaimed.
"No matter how hard we tried to please those looky-loos, they thought you flower girls were cuter and nicer than us spore guys!" The brother on the right said, agreeing with the first one.
"That's not true." the first Floramon said. "They liked you guys too."
Another one took a step forward. "And your Mushroom mousse was so popular with the tourists." she took a moment to let out some giggles. "They liked it better than our soup."
"That is enough!" Mushroomon exclaimed, jumping in the air. "MUSHROOM MASH!"
He threw a mini-mushroom at the building the group just ate in. It exploded upon contact with the building, sending pieces flying everywhere. Bokomon and Neemon, who still were in the house while it exploded, ran out as quickly as they could.
"They're toasting this place like an English muffin!" JP cried as he and all the others stared at where the house had just been.
'Can't he think without his stomach for once?' Sophia thought. 'Or at least not when we're IN DANGER!'
The Mushroomon brothers went back to where they had been standing, smirking. "It's over! We've had it with your flower power-"
"-and we're gonna-"
"-totally flatten Breezy village!"
"Hold it!" Zoe yelled as she stepped forward. The Mushroomon looked a little surprised that she went against them, and tried to argue with her, only to get slapped across the face. "You need to learn how to get along!" she told them. "Just because you feel like you're getting the short end of the stick, that doesn't give you the right to just go around destroying things. Try solving things peacefully."
Koichi nodded, adding his own bit to the argument. "Violence never solves anything. Why don't you just try to talk it out?"
Meanwhile Sophia snorted at what he said. 'Violence never solves anything. Boy, are you gonna like the rest of this adventure.'
"Yeah now listen up!" JP exclaimed, crossing his arms. "You toadstool heads can't just go barging in here with your purple mushroom caps, 'cause they're just plain ugly!" he told them. "Right?" he asked, turning his head to Zoe next to him.
"Did he just really…" Koichi asked, not even able to finish the question.
Sophia nodded. "He did… Idiot."
Hearing them, JP turned to them with a questioning look.
"You insulted them." Zoe said, strangely calm. "That's totally wrong."
JP finally seemed to realize that what said should not have been said. He turned back to the Mushroomon, laughing nervously. The moment the digimon said he was gonna get it, he started running. The Mushroomon seemingly forgot all about the other children and Floramon that were still there and just chased after the plump boy. While running, he was being bombed with Mushroom mash. Desperately JP tried to get his Spirit to appear, but with no luck. Eventually one of the bombs went off directly behind him, sending him flying.
"JP!" Zoe cried worriedly.
Her cry caused the Spirit to finally awaken and appear in front of the group.
"Yeah, my Spirit!" JP said, believing it to be his. He pointed his D-Tector in the air to capture the Spirit with. "Spirit Evolution!"
'Reject~!' Sophia thought amused as it passed the boy, going for Zoe instead.
"It is time" Sounded from the device when the Spirit entered and soon, Zoe was covered with data streams.
"EXE…CUTE! SPIRIT EVOLUTION! ...KAZEMON!"
JP stared at the digimon that Zoe had become with disappointment. "Zoe evolved instead of me." he said sadly.
Sweat-dropping, Koichi looked at the girl next to him, who looked like she was trying to keep herself from throwing up. "Are you alright, Sophia?"
The brunette nodded. "Yeah, but the picture of JP as Kazemon just about cost me my lunch..."
They were snapped out of their talk when they saw the Mushroomon throw their mini-mushrooms at Kazemon. But she had none of that, using her Hurricane wave to deflect the attacks, making them explode midair. They tried again, same attack. This time Kazemon used her Tempest twist, which pretty much gave the same result with the mushrooms exploding midair. She didn't just stop at deflecting the attacks, though. Kazemon continued her attack, moving in closer to the Mushroomon brothers, resulting in a kick in their faces.
"And that could've been me!" JP shouted in enthusiasm.
"Dream on..." Sophia muttered.
The Mushroomon had enough by now. They jumped on one another, digivolving into Woodmon.
Kazemon ran towards him, flying in the air at the last second. "How about a little Love tap?" She asked, bumping against Woodmon with her butt.
The tree digimon almost immediately fell in love, allowing Kazemon to throw a barrage of kicks before he snapped out of it.
"Enough!" he yelled, trying to punch Kazemon, which missed.
But Kazemon was not done yet. She did a back-flip in the air, kicking Woodmon's forehead and snapping a small piece of wood off him.
"That really kinda tickled. My bark's feeling all funny." Was Woodmon's response to the attack. "But you see I'm not laughing! There is no escape!" He shot his arm in the direction of Kazemon. "BRANCH BASH!"
The attack hit head on, knocking the fairy down and causing her to de-digivolve back to Zoe.
"Zoe!" everyone yelled concerned for her safety.
Out of nowhere, or actually out of the woods, Koji appeared. "Hey! Cut it out!" he yelled.
But of course the digimon didn't listen. He went for his Branch bash on Zoe again, who just got out of the way in the nick of time. JP had enough of seeing 'his girl' in danger, so he grabbed the nearest shovel and hit Woodmon upside the back with it. The shovel broke upon impact, and Woodmon's only response was smacking the boy back. Koichi and Sophia resulted to throwing rocks and pebbles at him, which he only reflected. One of them even managed to hit Koichi on the head with at least ten times the force he himself threw it at.
"Koichi!" Sophia exclaimed, dropping the rocks to look over her friend.
He was bleeding from the head, so she looked around for something to wipe the blood with. But instead she found Koji looking their way, just standing.
She was about to say something when a voice echoed through her head. 'Why do I feel so weird around that guy?'
'What the- W-was that… That was Koji's voice!' Sophia frowned. 'No time for that!' "Koji! Don't just stand there! Spirit Evolve!"
This snapped him out of it…whatever 'it' was, and he Spirit Evolved into Lobomon. Satisfied, Sophia turned back to Koichi. She could hear the battle behind her as Lobomon grabbed his light-saber kendo stick, but was too focused on finding something to wipe the blood away.
'Oh man! Why don't I keep a pack of tissues on me like mom always does?!' she thought in frustration, hearing Lobomon charging up his howling laser. 'Guess I'll have to...'
She grabbed the sleeve of her jacket and pressed it against the wound, slowly dabbing around it. For a minute she even felt his forehead, which seemed to be a little warm.
'I hope he's not coming down with anything.'
"Shadow creature!" Lobomon's voice suddenly sounded loudly, startling the girl out of her thoughts. "Be purified by the light!" As Woodmon started falling apart, his Fractal Code became visible. "Farewell, Woodmon. For good!" he added. "FRACTAL CODE DIGITIZE!"
As soon as the Code had entered the D-Tector, Woodmon de-digivolved back into the three Mushroomon they were before. They were absolutely clueless as to what happened to them, but good thing about that is that they're not evil anymore. Lobomon also changed back into Koji, who kneeled down, panting. His D-Tector was flashing and beeping, prompting him to press one of the buttons, which released the Fractal Code of the area. Everything was in bloom again, the tree turned a healthy color brown and its leaves returned in an instant.
Seeing Koji still on his knees in the grass, Sophia went to him. "Hey…" she said. "I just wanted to apologize for earlier. About what I said, I didn't mean to. When I get angry I just say things without thinking, and I know that's no excuse. So, I'm sorry."
Koji just stared at her. "...You still talk too much, you know?" he said with the smallest hint of a smirk.
"...Yeah." the girl answered with a smile.
With everything said and done, Koji turned around and left, but not before shooting one more glance at Koichi, who was being treated by a Floramon along with JP. Sophia washed her jacket in a nearby stream to get the blood out, wearing it around her waist when she was done to let it dry. After that she, and the others who were being treated, regrouped with Zoe. They were about to leave when Takuya and Tommy appeared.
"We have returned!" Takuya proclaimed proudly, like he was some sort of hero- oh wait...
"You blew it!" Zoe cried. "Where were you?"
Takuya rubbed the back of his head as he started 'explaining'. "That's quite a story." he said. "After a while we thought you might need us, so we decided to check back in."
"No need." Sophia said. "Zoe and Koji had it under control."
Zoe had her hands on her hips in a cocky manner. "You just made a wrong turn and missed a once in a lifetime show."
"Yeah right." Takuya was not believing it. "Don't try to sank us out Zoe. You know we didn't miss a thing."
"Well, you didn't get to see me Spirit Evolve."
That caught their attention. "Wait, you did what?!" "You Spirit Evolved?"
Sophia nodded. "Into Kazemon, Legendary Warrior of wind." she said, changing her tone to sound like Bokomon. "See! I can do this too!" she yelled at Bokomon afterwards, who once again started throwing a fit.
Takuya and Tommy looked at each other in disbelieve, before laughing loudly, voicing how they didn't believe she Spirit Evolved. Bad move. Next thing they knew, Zoe was at their throats trying to 'evolve their heads'. While Sophia was enjoying the little show, someone tugged on her sleeve. That someone was Koichi, who made a silent gesture to JP somewhat further ahead. The duo made their way over to him as he stared sadly at the sky.
"Who am I? Nobody?" he questioned as they reached him. "Why don't I have a Spirit? Tell me that."
"You're not nobody." Koichi said once he was done. "You'll get a Spirit. We just have to find it. I'm sure it won't take long."
He didn't look convinced. "Oh stop wallowing in self-pity." Sophia snapped. "The two of us don't have one either, but you don't see us questioning who we are and why we're here. Your Spirit, as well as ours, will come sooner or later, probably sooner than you think." 'Way sooner than you think...'
*Is it really bowling shoes? If it is, is that some kind of American/English/Italian joke that I just don't understand?
**I think that's what she says?
Thanks for reading!
