Santa's Letters 4-I Think There May Be a Santa After All...
by Cerridwen
A.N. Final Chapter. I don't own Digimon™. "Dreams" was written by the Coors and has been used for Cerridwen's spell. I probably
messed up on the lyrics anyhow.
"Père Noel! Do you really wanna go through this? I mean we are meddling in two love lives. What right do we have to
do this?"
The old Christmas spirit turned to look at the suppirior that looked much younger "Ah, Cerridwen, ma petite cherè.
This is my job; to give god people blessings for Christmas. Or if they ask for something else, I give them that. Like your job to
keep physical light remain in the living planes. These two asked for eachothers love, they just don't know they already have it.
We're just giving them a little push. They'll be fine."
The Light spirit looked at him pensively, then hung her head and gave in. "Alright, I'll help you one last time...But you
can't keep doing this to me; I have a reincarnated body, you can't just keep pulling me out of it in the middle of the night. Just get
Lucile next time!"
"Well, you're the one who likes this anime and wanted to see those two get togeather so badly!"
"Touché...-_^¿"
The two spirits laughed and stoped between two apartment complexes. "Take on our genders, Nick?"
"Mais oui, Cerridwen."
"Oh, and Nick..."
"Oui?"
"No more French, you're from Turkey, for heaven's sake!"
"Hai!"
"Ugh..."
Cerridwen floatd down through the sliding doors into Sora's room. "Now child, listen to my spell, and listen well;
Listen carefully to the sound
Of a loneliness like a heartbeat
Drives you mad
And the stillness of remembering
What you had, and what you lost
What you had, and what you lost
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Prayers only render you when they're praying
Saying "When they will come and they will go
When the rain washes over you, clear, you'll know"
You'll know"
And thus the spell opened, and Sora began to dream.
"Now here I go again
I see these crystal visions
I keep my visions to my self
It's only me who wants to
Wrap around you dreams and
Have you any dreams you'd like to show?
Dreams of loneliness like a heartbeat
Dives you mad
And the stillness of remembering
What you had, and what you lost
What you had..."
"Where am I? ...Taichi?" Sora had been floating aimlessly for a while caught in the dream. She quietly watched him
watch her go in to her room the night she burned that letter.
"Taichi?"
"Hikari-chan?" Sora watched Tai's little sister come in. Kari was holding a big red bow with Taichi's goggles, and a tag.
It read 'To Sora, Merry Christmas. I hope you enjoy me. Love Taichi'.
"Aiiee!!! Hikari, what are you doing with that?!"
"Taichi, I suggest you put this around a stuffed animal now..."
"Mmmmm...Sora...You're so warm...and soft...I just want to hold you..." Taichi muttered in his sleep and wraped his
arms around his pollow, unaware of the old spirit in his room.
"Child, you better not be dreaming what I think you're dreaming..." Nicholas held out his hand as a golden ligth gathered
in his palm, forming a letter. "...You're a good lad, and lucky to have this. Now listen carefully; Love is a great force. It takes to hearts,
two souls, and binds them. If you love her enough, and have courage enough to fight for the sanctity of that love, it will be eternal.
wait and see, child.
One to seek her, one to find her
One to bring her, one to bind her
Heart to heart, forever one.
So say I, this spell is done."
The golden dust left on the letter as Nicholas glimmered out and let Taichi dream.
The next day, Chistmas Day, Taichi and Hikari came to Mimi's house first, followed by Yamato. Taichi Knew that he really
wanted to be there first. It's Mimi's last Christmas in Japan, she'll be moving to New York in the summer. Yamato wanted to be sure to
tell her this year how he--
"Say cheese, Kamiya!"
*FLASH!*
"Gah...Mimi! Hikari!!! ISHIDA!!!!"
"Nii-chan, that was just priceless!"
"Tai, I can't believe you're really going through this!"
"Yamato, why'd you have to tell Mimi?..."
"Aww, common buddy? Where's that Christmas spirit?...and another thing...there's something in your bow." Yamato
took a couple of steps forward to see what the white and guided object was when Taichi stoped him from coming any nearer.
"Come any closer and I'll have to kiss you (this is a Taiora after all, not Taito)," Taichi warned, pointing up to the mistletoe.
Matt chuckled at the thought. "Then get out from under there so we can see what it is!" Taichi took off the goggles and
an envalope with gold-leafed boarders on it slipped out of the bow as it was removed from his head. On it in gold ink were the words
"To Santa", but the "Santa was crossed out to read "To Taichi". And in two different handwritings at that.
"Oh, another Santa letter Tai? Lemme see!" Yamato whined, grabbing for the letter, but Taichi evaded his attack. "Tsk,
tsk, tsk, Yamato Ishida, weren't you ever told that it's rude to read someonelse's mail?" Taichi gave Yamato a shove as he tried to get
the letter again, and Yamato bumped into Mimi, landing them under the mistletoe.
"Uh...I...um...Mimi...I" Mimi put a finger to his lips; he was obviously not going to manage to say something sensible to her.
"Yamato Ishida, weren't you ever told it's not polite to let a girl wait?" Yamato nodded. "Well?...You honestly won't let this belle die an
old maid, right?" "Never." And with that, Yamato gently and passionately pressed his lips to hers, channeling all his love to her through that
one kiss.
"Bravo."
"An awsome picture for my colection"
*FLASH*
Mimi and Yamato just turned to them after the picture was taken, turned back to eachother and began to kiss again. Kari sighed.
"Thus goes all the world but I..." Hikari quoted (it's Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing). "I won't let that happen to my little sister."
Taichi remembered the letter and gently took it out of the lovely envolope. Although the envalope had been so elegant looking,
the letter had seemed a little old and was burned around the edges. Ever more gently, he unfolded the letter and began to read.
'Dear Santa,
Fourteen. That's how old I am. Fourteen years old,
and I've become so desperate, I'm turning to you...'
"Kami-sama, what a strange dream...ugh, I can't believe that song was sung by Britney, of all people. I thought it was Brandy...
hmmm....it was good though. If only Taichi really did. Who know's may be he will." Sora had just woken up. "Sora dear? Get up, it's
Christmas! Weren't you going to Mimi's party before we go to the dinner at your aunt's?" "Huh? Ah, shimata! It's 11:39! I gotta get ready!"
She got changed and looked for the gift she was gonna give Tai; a wool scarf that she hand embroided. On it was the Crest of Courage and
the Crest of Love, intertwined with one another. Sora quickly wrapped it in tisue paper, put it in the pre-wrapped box she had prepared, and
added a bow. Then she left for Mimi's apartment as quickly as possible.
'Hmm...I wonder how this got in my room? I saw Sora burn it that night...' Taichi had just finished reading the letter. 'So, my day-
dream was real, she did wish for Santa to give her me....Thanks Nick...'
Taichi grinned at the thought of the paitron saint, then at the joys around him. Sora had just arrived and everyone was exchanging
gifts now. Yamato gave Mimi a silver tear-shaped locket that looked like the Crest of Sincerity. Inside was a picture of eachother for her to take
with her to America. Mimi, in turn gave him a new harmonica with the Crest of Friendship engraved on it, and with it a small music manuscript
book that already had some songs put into it; love songs she wrote for him. In the emotions recreated by the gifts, the two were again wrapped
in a long kiss. Ah, sweet love. Koushiro and Jyou had excanged gifts. Jyou had gotten a book entitled "Adventures for the Well Prepared Ones".
Although he liked his gift alot, Jyou amde a face at the pun his friend had made. Koushoirohad gotten a robotic pet; a beetle, which looked an
awful lot like Tentamon. Then he watched his imoto-chan.
"Merry Christmas, Kari-chan!" The young boy with blond hair said, handing her a package.
"Ah, arigato, Tekeru!" Kari accepted the gift and unwrapped it. It was a little music box that played "Holy Light" as alittle girl and a white
cat danced togeather. "Ah, kawaii yo! Arigato!"
"Honto?! I knew you'd like it!"
"Merry Christmas, Tekeru-kun!" His little sister held out a small box. Tekeru acceptedit graciously and opened it. Inside was a pendant of a
dagger with wings and a ribbon running around it. On the other side was an engraving. " 'May the wings of hope guid you in your days and let you soar.'
Kari...thank you so much, this is awsome!" "Honto?" "Honto..."
'Hikari-chan...I told you you'd find someone,' Tai thought as he watched.
"Hikari-chan? Who's that other gift for?" Taichi turned to watch again. He didn't relize his sister was carrying antoher gift. "...A friend. A good,
close friend. Outside of the digidestined." Tekeru and Taichi smiled knowingly. 'Maybe you had someone else in mind after all, Imoto-chan...' (you ppl
should know this! Takari fans, sorry!)
Sora watched this with Taichi, from a distance. 'Who ever he is Hikari Kamiya, go get him.' She turned to Tai. Luckily for him, his standin in the
door way prevented her from seeing the bow on his head. "as for you, Mr. Kamiya..."Sora began to approach him, chutching onto her package.
"Taichi-kun." Tai turned to Sora half way, letting her see the red bow on his head. Sora stopped and stared at him for a moment. "Ah, Taichi-kun!"
Sora lept out and wrapped her beloved in loving embrace. "Merry Christmas, Sora-chan...look up." Sora losened her arms from he embrace to glance at the
mistletoe over head. Taichi, even more gently than with the letter, lifted Sora's face to his and pressed his lips to hers, giving her such a pure and passionate
kiss, that it denounced all the other great kisses in history, and in every way in eachother's hearts would be eternal.
"Merry Christmas, indeed." Sora wispered after their lips parted. She handed him that clumsily wrapped box. Tachi opened it and took time to
trace his fingers over the needle work, sensing all the patience, work and love that Sora had put into it and marvled at the craftsmanship his Sora, the girl he had
teased as a child for being a tomboy, had worked. Taichi then wrapped it around him neck an kissed Sora again. "You amaze me." He held out the rose he had
for her. It was a pure red color that showed her the deep love he had for her. Sora put her nose to it's petals and it touched cold metal. She looked at the bloom
again and saw a silver ring with pink and yellow shell paterns hiding in it's petals. On the inside was engraved "Love and courage, forever entwined". A promise
ring. "Now we are bound, Sora." Taichi removed his left glove to reveal the matching ring on his finger, with blue and orange shell. He reached out to her and
kissed her once more.
"Aishiteru, Taichi Kamiya."
"Aishiteru, Sora Tekenouchi. Itsumo(forever). Honto (truely)."
"Taichi..."
"Hmm?"
"You know what?"
"Nani?"
"I think there may be a Santa after all..." Taichi chuckled at this. "Of course there is silly."
THE END
Kari: Hey I didn't get a picture of them kissing! Shimata!
