The Unexplainable Philosophy of Wormmon, Part 2

From: Incognito [digincognito@email.com]

It seems the trend to recall what's happened last chapter. It's a good trend! Here it goes!

Wormmon was feeling…well dumb. The only thing he wants in this world is for Digimon Kaizer to accept him as his Digimon. Wormmon felt the only way to do this was to study hard and become a genius like Kaizer. So, Wormmon fell to the Real World, and followed the DigiDestined Sora, where he learned that there was something going on between her and Tai. What is it? Wormmon is determined to find out.

WHO TO FOLLOW?

It was mid-afternoon when I fell out of Digiworld, and found myself in the middle of fast moving metal dealies with wheels. Ahhh! I didn't want to get crushed I'm just a big worm after all, so I leaped up onto a metal tree….one with three lights that kept blinking…you know the kind.

I looked around, a bit confused, but then I saw them; two kids, a tall skinny girl was walking along with some big-haired guy. I thought I recognized them from before… so I leapt a few feet behind him, and crawled fast. Now I was close enough to hear what they were saying.

"So…what you got planned for Friday?"

The girl shrugged. "Hanging out with Dai and Ru I guess." She said. Then she looked up at the big-haired guy. "What about you Tai? You're taking Sora right?"

Tai…Ah, Taichi! Taichi. So that's him.

Taichi seemed a bit disheartened by the girls question. "Well…yeah. I mean…if she wants." He said nervously.

The girl stopped, turned and confronted him right there in the middle of the sidewalk, causing me to hide in some bushes. "What do you mean 'if she wants!?'" she said. She put her hands on her hips and continued. " I think Sora would be too pleased to have you take her."

Taichi grinned sarcastically. "Come on Kari, you should be able to tell me how it feels to juggle two guys around."

The girl..( Kari was her name. Hikari! I knew I remembered her! I have to write down their names. )..started blushing furiously. "I'm not doing that…" she mumbled.

"Really." Taichi grinned further. "So who's the lucky guy? T.K. or Dai?"

"Neither!" Hikari blasted. "They're just my friends and comrades…OK!?" her face lied for her, I could see it plainly. I was good at catching those kinds of things. She turned and started up the sidewalk again. "Besides, this isn't about me. I don't have the Grad Party and Dance coming up. This is about you, Sora.."

"Don't say it." Taichi started

"and Mat!" Kari finished anyway. Ooooh I could see the look on Taichi's face when this 'Mat' fellow's name was mentioned… yeah, he wasn't too happy.

Hikari saw the look on his face. "What's the matter?" she asked.

Her brother just shook his face sadly. "I don't know what's with her." He said sadly. "She can't just let him go, let him do what he wants." Taichi shrugged and started. "He's as much as said he doesn't want anything more to do with us….maybe if she could just let him go…"

Wow, this was real interesting. They stopped talking for the while, and continued to walk home. I homed in on their signature and burrowed underground. I didn't want anyone to see me…and now that I was underground, they wouldn't. { See Ken! I am smart! }. This was the way I followed them all the way to their home.

*********

When they reached a big apartment building, they were greeted by a surprise. Sora was there, waiting for them at the entrance. The two siblings walked up to her.

"Hi." Hikari said smiling. Taichi didn't say anything, he just looked at Sora. Sora smiled back at the girl then glanced at Taichi.

"I just wanted to drop off this book you asked for Kari." She said, and handed her a thick volume….not as thick as the ones Ken reads, but thick enough. Kari took it, bowing graciously. "Well.." Sora started, "I gotta go, I'm kinda in a hurry."

With that, she started to walk towards this thin metal tree with a yellow sign on it. I think it read 'BUS' or something, it was waaay on the other side of the street..

Taichi caught up to her. "Hold on!" he said, grabbing her arm. Sora turned, not looking at him in the eye. "Where're you going?" he asked.

"Nowhere." Sora said. Another lie! What's with these people and lying!

At least Taichi was smart enough to catch it too. "You're going to Mat's aren't you?"

This time, Sora looked at him in the eye. "Let me go Tai." She demanded quietly. Taichi released her immediately, and she continued towards the…umm…BUS…thingy.

"You should just let him go Sora!" Taichi called back after her. "It's what he wants! Sora!"

She just kept right on walking.

I looked back at Taichi from my hiding place in a box full of envelopes and papers. "Damn it, Sora." He hissed quietly.

"Why don't you……..damn it! Why don't you wake up!" He left in the opposite direction.

I didn't know where he was going, but it wasn't in the direction Sora went, and it wasn't into the building Hikari went. Ahhh! This was so interesting. I was learning so much!….as soon as I can figure out what it all means, I'll be a genius!

Right now, I was stuck with who to follow., Hikari was going inside the building, who knew where Taichi was going, and Sora was going to see Mat…despite warnings to the contrary. I had to follow one of them to keep learning….

….but who was I going to follow.
