self on head:: Egad, how can I be so
stupid??? ^_^; Well, this is the sequel
to Digimon: Courage! It's after Tai
awakens from his coma.
Digimon: Courage's Friends
Kari's POV
After we used our crests to try and help Tai, I feel much better. "It might not work," Joe explained, "but it's worth a try right?" we all agreed. I fingered my crest of Light, and found myself praying, "Let Tai get well. Let Tai get well."
TK's POV
I really, really hope that Tai will get well. The phone's ringing. "I'll get it!" I proclaimed as I stood up and walked over to the phone. "Moshi moshi?"
"Is this the Ishida residence?" a
voice asked.
"Err…yah. Who is this?" I gripped the phone, praying
it was the doctors telling us Tai would be alright.
"This is Jun, I want to talk to
Davis." The voice said.
"Oh, okay." I tried to hide the
disappointment from my voice.
"Thanks," Jun replied.
I handed Davis the phone and plopped
down, discouraged.
Davis's POV
"What is it?" I asked,
irritated. Leave it to Jun to call at
such a tense moment!
"Davis? Dad wants you home pronto." Jun said briskly.
"Tell him I cant." I answered.
"Why?" Jun queried.
"Just cant."
"Really now."
"Fine, cuz I'm busy."
"Busy doing what?" Jun probed on.
"Stuff." I snapped.
"Okay okay, jeez, so touchy! When are you coming back?" Jun sounded
annoyed.
"About eight PM." I decided,
checking my watch; it was five PM.
"Whatever, bye." Jun hung up.
"Bye." I hanged up also, grumbling.
Yolei's POV
"What'd she say?" I questioned.
"Wants me to come home. I refused, but I'm going at eight PM." Davis
mumbled, flopping down next to me.
I glanced at him, his purple,
tousled hairdo was, if possible, even messier, and his brow was furrowed in
thought. He looks pretty cute like
that…no, what the heck am I thinking???!!!
"Do you think Tai'll be okay?" said
Sora suddenly.
"You want the truth?" Joe replied.
Sora nodded.
"I don't know." Joe sighed.
Cody's POV
I have returned to the study, looking thru books. Armadillomon sighed, "Cody, brooding in the study isn't gonna help Tai."
"I know." I answered, and
found myself thumbing thru a self-help book called, What to do when someone
close to you dies.
"Argh!" I yelled, frustrated, and tossed the book away.
Armadillomon stared at me, "Calm
down, Cody."
I heaved a heavy sigh, "I'm sorry,
it's just that…"
Armadillomon smiled sadly and
placed a scaly hand on my shoulder comfortingly before holding out an algebra book,
"It'll help keep your mind off things."
I flashed a grateful smile at him
before leafing thru the book, concentrating on the various shapes and angles to
avoid the thought of Tai.
Sora's POV
I saw my hands reaching for the
bowl of candy Matt placed on the glass table. My hands grabbed a Tootsie Roll. I watched silently as they (my hands, or, in this case, Sora's)
unwrapped the candy, and popped it into my mouth. The bittersweet taste exploded in my mouth. I rolled it around the insides of my cheek,
dissolving it. Mimi was staring at me
strangely, "Why're you eating candy?"
I shrugged, I didn't know the
reason myself anyway.
But then Kari said, "Sora, we
know how torn apart you are, but try to understand, we're worried about Tai
too."
I felt tears pushing against those
scarlet eyes of mine, and I didn't bother to contain them, they just flooded
out.
Why, why, does Tai have to be in
the hospital? I asked myself, tears streaming
down my cheeks, staining my blouse once again.
Matt put a comforting arm around
my shoulders, and I sobbed into him, wetting his shirt too.
Izzy's POV
After having my crest mistakened
from last time (A/n- eeto, how did that get in there?), I got back my crest of
Knowledge.
"Izzy, what're you thinking about?"
Cody had returned from the study, his arm around a thick algebra book.
"Eeto, Tai." I answered.
"Oh, me too." The young boy
plunked down next to me.
"Isn't everyone?" I joked.
Cody smiled feebly. I knew I had made a bad joke.
"My bad, gomen ne," I said
apologectically.
"Oh no, it's just that we're all
too depressed." Sora said thru her tears.
Matt's POV
I shuddered, "You're right, Sora,
we're all depressed."
Out of the blue, the phone started
ringing.
"I'll get it," I offered, and
picked up the phone, "Ishida residence."
"Is this Yamato Ishida?" a voice
said.
"Uh-huh." I answered.
"Well, Mr. Ishida, we have good
news for you. Mr. Taichi Kamiya is now
fully conscious and doing well."
"ALRIGHT!" I whooped.
"What is it?" everyone said unison.
"Hold please," I said to the man in
the hospital. "Tai's alive and well!"
A cheer erupted from the crowd.
I grinned, "Thank you doctor, we'll
be right over."
"Okay," the doctor said, and hung
up.
I hanged up too.
Mimi's POV
I couldn't help it, tears of joy
started flowing out my amber brown eyes. I was just so happy!
"Mims?" Matt's soft voice
startled me.
"Yeah?" I looked up into his
blue, blue eyes.
"You okay?" he said, sounding
mega-concerned.
"Yeah, fine." I sniffed, and
broke into a wide smile.
Matt grinned and sat back, "Well
crew, let's get going! A patient's
expecting us!"
Everybody hooted and stood up in
a frenzy to get to the door.
"Let's get to Tai already!" Sora
screamed, pushing to get to the screen door.
"Lemme thru!" Kari yelled,
shoving Davis away ("Hey!").
Finally, everyone crammed thru
the teeny door and were on their way to the Tokyo Hospital.
Ken's POV
"Wait, is it that way or this way?" Matt, who was
driving, scratched his head.
"That way, I'm positive." Izzy pointed to the left road, "wait,
maybe that way…or maybe…"
"Never mind," Matt sighed and drove to the nearest gas station.
I gazed out the window, a chubby
man was conversing with Matt. I could
catch bits of the conversation: "Do you know where the Tokyo Hospital is?"
"Well, I believe it's near Fujiyata Road." "Really? Do you have a map?" "Yeah, one per customer!" "How much?" "Twelve
yen." "Here you go." "Arigato."
Matt returned with a map clutched
in his fist. "Right, Fujiyata Road…okay
so I take a left here then go left again."
"Err, Matt, that's upside-down."
Sora pointed out.
"Oh! Right, arigato." Matt blushed and grinned thankfully at Sora.
Joe's POV
Oh jeez, how long can it take to
get to a hospital? I've been itching to
see Tai since the crest of Reliability has been shimmering. Sometimes Reliability isn't such a great
crest (A/n- that's a joke! A joke! No offense to all you Joe fans!!!).
"How long?!" TK whined.
"Just a few more—ah, there it
is! Tokyo Hospital!" Matt parked the
minivan and we all scampered out.
"Me first!" Yolei squealed,
pushing open the glass doors. One of
the nurses shot her a dirty look and she flushed crimson.
"Taichi Kamiya, please." I told
the nurse behind the counter.
"Kamiya? Okay…room 177." The nurse reported, checking
her clipboard.
"Thanks," I nodded and gestured
for the rest to join me in the elevator.
"Room 177?" Mimi looked at the
numbers on each hospital door.
"Yup," I confirmed.
"Right there!" Sora pointed to
room 177 and we stepped in.
Tai's POV
"Guys!" I shouted as my friends
filed in.
"TAI!" Kari screamed, and flung her
arms around my neck blissfully.
"Calm down," I grinned, patting
my sister's brown hair.
"You're okay!" Sora exclaimed,
crying tears of happiness.
"Err—Sora?" I asked
cautiously.
"WAAAAAH!" Sora continued to
bawl, and she was also letting out peals of laughter.
"She's mentally unstable right
now." Matt explained, sniggering.
"You're alright!" Sora resumed
yelling.
"Uh-huh." I nodded.
Kari's POV
My gawd, he's alive! Alive! I thought I was blessed when Davis stopped pestering me so much, but now I think this is really being blessed! Even the doctors said it was a medical miracle! My brother is alive!
TK's POV
I couldn't help grinning like an idiot. Tai's alive! He's okay! I couldn't believe when Matt told us Tai was fine but now I do! Sora's sobbing in joy like there's no tomorrow and Mimi is bawling, "He's alive! Alive!"
Kari is the calmest of all the
girls, she's just staring at her brother in wonder and admiration.
Matt's slapping Tai on his back
and congratulating him on "surviving."
Joe's sniffling, "Thank you,
Reliability."
Izzy's typing on his laptop, I suspect
about Tai's miraculous recovery.
Ken's hanging by himself at the
night table, smiling.
Yolei's engaged in a conversation
with Davis, and I heard, "Isn't it amazing?" "Yeah." "Arent you amazed?" "Uh-huh."
"Jeesh, it's impossible to talk with you!"
Davis's POV
After Yolei left, I beamed at
Tai. He flashed me a thumbs-up before
trying to calm down a hysterical Sora ("Oh my gawd you're alive!"). Yolei was
looking thru those giant glasses of hers at me. "What?" I mouthed to her.
She blushed like she just realized I
was staring back at her, and mumbled, "Nothing."
I looked at her, puzzled. What is it she wants to tell me???
She turned around so her back was
facing me, and just then I noticed how long her lavender hair was, how her eyes
shine every time she gets an idea, and how her lips pucker in concentration as she fixes a machine. All of them are cute. WAITAMINNIT, WHAT THE HECK AM I THINKING
(A/n- heh heh, same thing that Yolei said.)?!?!?!
I don't like Yolei!!!…do I?
Yolei's POV
Stupid me! I silently scolded myself. Why did you let Davis see you staring at him???
But still, his black eyes boring
into mine (A/n- aiya, how did this get to be a romance story?) is just too
much!
"Yolei?" Cody's voice snapped me out
of my trance.
"Huh? Yeah? What?" I sputtered.
"Um, we're going now."
"Oh, sorry. Okay, see ya Tai." I smiled weakly.
Cody's POV
Is it just me or is Yolei sending off vibes to Davis of love?
Must be me, those two are the last
people I expect to be together. But
still, love is crazy right?
Sora's POV
I know, I was not acting myself
in Tai's hospital room, and the nurse had to shoo us out (A/n- that was the
part you readers missed because of Davis and Yolei's love stuff, heehee.). But the image of him alive and well is just
too much for me. Gawd, I didn't even
hug him goodbye! Ah well.
Izzy's POV
That was embarrassing! That nurse, Ying Ling, had to come and shoo
us out for disturbing the other patients! Mainly it was because of Sora shrieking and wailing in joy. I typed in my laptop this:
2/7/01
Tai is alive! I am sitting in his hospital room right now! We saw his bandage around his messy hair and Davis asked to see his wound, but Tai refused. Said it was against the hospital rules. "Since when did you start obeying the rules?" Davis had said sarcastically and we all cracked up.
It was then did Ying Ling come and told us to get out. Gawd that was embarrassing!
Matt's POV
I expertly steered the minivan out
of the curb and started driving back to our house.
"Matt, when can we visit Tai again?"
TK asked with his eyes that had not yet turned mature; it was still sparkling
the way it did when we were fighting Myotismon and the other Dark Masters.
"Soon, TK, soon." I answered as I narrowly
missed an oncoming truck.
"Matt!" Mimi screamed.
I grinned at her thru the rearview
mirror and she threw a pout at me.
She's so cute sometimes.
Mimi's POV
Gawd, Matt can be so irritating
sometimes!
We pulled into the driveway and
starting piling out to the house.
"That was fun, huh? He looks so energetic and lively!" I giggled
as we entered the living room of which we had spent so many hours worrying and
fretting in there.
Ken's POV
I agree with Mimi, Tai did look
a lot like his old self, except for that ugly scar; he could still pass for our
old, brave Tai if not for that scar. I suddenly
remembered my mom and dad. "Guys, I gotta
go home."
"Oh okay see you." They chorused.
I waved and trotted off.
Joe's POV
The rest of us slowly went off
to home after Ken left. I was the last
to leave, and I waved to Matt and TK before setting off.
Tai's POV
I was alone after the gang left,
and I slowly tried to remember what had happened. Nothing came. Hmm, well,
good thing. Before I knew it, sleep had
taken over.
A/n- well, that's it for "Digimon: Courage's
Friends"! See ya!
