Santa's Letters 3-Casting a Wish Into the Night
by Cerridwen
A.N. In case you're all wondering, this is a year befor 02 starts. I don't own Digimon Adventure,
so if you want to sue someone, I suggest you turn to one of those cruel dubbing/editing companies
that raped these good anime titles (and Cyber Six) to release them in America to been seen by kids
that are way to young to watch most of these cartoons.
"This is so stupid. I can't believe I'm doing this!...Am I really that
desperate?"
Sora read over her letter. She's fourteen years old and writing to Santa Claus. Taichi
once told her he still wrote to Santa until he was 9. But, then again, the way he thought of it, it didn't
sound so childish. In fact, it was a little darker than the children's image in her opinion, although it's
true.
The ledgend of Santa Claus was started with Saint Nicholas, a bishop from Eastern
Europe. He was very generous to the villagers. He gave a bag of gold to three women who needed
a dowry and every Christmas he would leave toys for children in town to remind them of the gifts
that the three kings gave to the Baby Jesus. This tradition spread over Europe and became a myth
of an elf from Norway who rode in a sleigh pulled by eight reigndeer, then the elf becamea fat, jolly
man who had elves make toys for him and another reigndeer was added and given a red nose that
lights up on foggy nights. 'It's amazing how real life stories can change so much,' thought Sora.
Taichi said that when he was 6, he relized that Santa had no physical form, but was
actually a Christmas spirit that gave children blessings, talents and wisdom, not material things. So,
he'd throw it into a bonfire or something, so that it would reach the old ghost.
'At least if Chris Cringle doesn't get me Taichi's love, no one will find the letter'
She stood on the balcony, set the letter in a metal can, lit a match and watched the
letter burn in the night.
'Hmm...Sora's burning something.' Taichi watched her from his balcony, staring at the
girl he held as the most beautiful in the world in the complex across the street. He smiled that cocky
grin of his, wishing hard. 'I wonder if she's asking Santa for something...and if she is, what, or who is
she wishing for?' He struck his own match after she went back in and drifted of into his imagination.
"Taichi?"
"Huh?" Taichi snapped out of his daydream and turned to his little sister, Hikari. She
held a huge red bow that was attatched to his goggles. On it was a tag that read 'To Sora, Merry
Christmas. I hope you enjoy me. Love, Taichi'.
"Aiiee!!!!, Hikari what are you doing with that?!"
"Tai, I suggest that you put this around a suffed animal now. Christmas is two days ago
...And why are you giving Sora your goggles along with it, you've had those since you were 5, you
never part with them. I knew you love Sora, but.."
"Ughh, Kari-chan...why are you doing this to me? And who told you---"
"That you love Sora? Oh, get off it, Taichi Kamiya! I've known since before you sent
that e-mail to her before the fight with Virusmon."
"A----ah, fine Hikari, I'll explain myself. I'm not giving Sora a suffed animal."
"And the goggles?"
"I'm not giving her those either."
"Then what the heck ARE you giving her?" Hikari urged. Tai muttered somethingshe could
hardly make out. "What under mistltoe?..."
"KUSO!!!!!! I said, 'I'm giving her ME under the mistletoe HOLDING A FRIGGIN'
ROSE!!!'" He shouted, luckly not loud enough to be heard across the street, but loud enough to
scare Kari shitless.
Hikari regained her senses and began to be coy with her brother. "Where'd you get such
a corny idea from, a Britney Spears Christmas song?" Taichi just looked down and blushed, then re-
plied, "...Yeah, actually." Kari sweatdropped uncontrolablly and fell on the floor, laughing so hard she
cried. "WELL YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUB IT IN, GAKI-CHAN!" Kari got up and looked at her
older brother and fromer lead, trying to regain her breath and be serious once more. "I'm sorry Nii-chan.
Actually, although I know Sora hates Britney as much as me, I know she love your gift. It may be corny,
but it's still sweet and romantic." "...Thanks Hikari-chan."
