Notes:

It's been too long since I've written some that's just digimon related. And yes, this a canon one-shot.

Chapter 46

Looking towards the future

Alice Zwingli was tired.

For had what seemed like an eternity, the two along with their digimon had been flying over the distorting void between dimensions. Even after their 'nap' in The Classroom, all of them seemed even more ready to drop down and receive an unplanned death.

"Elena, are you there?" she whispered and watched Elena's head perk up. "Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah." Elena answered and watch Alice clear her throat. "What is it?"
"Once this is all said and done, what do you plan to do?"

Silence fell upon both of the girls, each waiting for the other to speak. Of all the things that awaited them, the theoretical 'end' seemed indefinitely out of reach. For all they knew, the original end point could now just be a minor plot point in the grand scheme of things. It was the sort of thing that one could control and out of their hands at the same time. Sort of like puppies. You can give them everything they'll ever need, but that still won't stop them from tearing up your stuff and barking at every passerby.

"Personally, I was thinking of settling down, get married and maybe start a family." Elena finally answered, only for Alice to perk up a little. "You were going to say that, weren't you?"
"Maybe." the gambler whispered as Suiko giggled a tiny bit. "Then who's the lucky one?"

Once more, silence fell upon the girls. This time though, it was less of the inability of not quite being certain of the answer and more of the validation of a choice both had decided upon already. And now, they were curious if the other had come to the same decision that they did.

"You." the duo whispered to each other, allowing the silence to stick around for a little while longer. It added to the ambience of this empty place, giving it sort of a romantic feeling. As long as you ignored the twisting kaleidoscope of bright color meant to deter people from coming here. Not that it ever did.

*I have one question,* Suiko interjected and broke the silence into a million pieces. "How would you two even have children? Also, what would that mean for me?"

Just as quickly as it had been broken, the silence resumed its position. Between the three of them, there was zero amount time in a health class during a sex ed unit. If we expanded this to the rest of Delta, only Polly would have some knowledge. Which is quite ironic when you think about it.

"Huh?" Elena whispered.

Never mind. Though, there aren't really that many people within this multiverse that actually have much knowledge in the forbidden acts of sex. Which left only the magical sex tape mage. I suspect she would be more than happy to teach you two some things. As long as you ask nicely of course.

*How about, no?* Suiko whispered as Alice and Elena returned their attention to each other for a few brief seconds, muttering something to each other only to follow it up with giggling. *What were you two talking about just now?*

Neither girl answered, choosing instead to leave it a secret to everyone but themselves as the silence resumed the position. Though, it would have to share the space with the incoming cycle change. The eighteenth, in fact. One could only wonder how many more would pass before this was all said and done.

But for now, all that mattered was reaching their destination. After that they would work it out as they went...
