I just saw "A Very Digi Chritmas" today, and by gads! It was so cute! Awwww! I love you Davis! And I love you Ken! And I love you too, Tai! Gr... that stupid Sora.. messing with my little Tai's heart... grr... Anywho, the best part was when they were trying to think of a card game and Davis suggested Strip Poker. Whoohoo! Now that's what I wanna see!

"It's a Stud Mobile."

"It's a piece of crap."

"It's sexy."

"It smells."

"Girls dig it."

"People run in fear from it."

Matt and Tai glared at each other.

"Fine Matt, I guess that from now on we'll take your car... oh wait, I forgot, you don't have one."

Matt sniffed indignantly. "If I did, it'd be better than this pitiful excuse of an automobile."

"Automobile?" Davis interrupted. "What kind of stupid word is that?"

Tai laughed. "Davis likes my car, right Davis? And you better answer yes or I'm taking my goggles back."

Davis touched the goggles that rested on his head. "Hell yeah!" He cheered after a moment's hesitation, waving his arms in the air. "It's a classic."

Kari twittered. "Davis, please be careful. You almost hit me and TK."

Instantly Davis mellowed. "Sorry Kari," he mumbled.

I cowered in the corner. My head spun, and my stomach felt woozy, and my hands quivered. Please let it be Tai's driving! I prayed and I pushed closer to the van's window.

"Hey Davish," Veemon tugged on Davis' shorts. "I shtill think you're cool."

"That's because I am cool." Davis pulled the Digimon into his lap. "Even if only you realize it."

Wormmon nuzzled my leg. I blinked and looked down. His eyebrows rose, and he smiled a little. I frowned back, determined not to swayed by his silent pleadings. Being alone was a way to stay safe. I called that protection. Wormmon called it denial. But what did he know? Wormmon had loved me, even when I had been the Emperor, even after I destroyed him. Wormmon said that was strength.

I wasn't so sure.

"Okay, now another six miles, then take a left." Matt read the directions carefully. "And then drive for another eight miles."

"Where is this beach?" Sora asked from the back. "China?"

"Look at it this way Sora," Izzy answered patiently, "At least it will be secluded."

Tai turned onto a dirt road. "You're telling me Izzy," he commented as he slowed the van down, "I wouldn't be surprised if I saw cow skulls on the side of the road."

"I feel like I've been in this car forever," Yolei complained. "Hey, can we stop for a break or something?"

"I'm with Yolei." Kari nodded. "Maybe we can pull over and get out, even if it's just for a few minutes."

"No breaks." Tai said firmly. "I want to get to the beach as soon as possible."

"Don't worry guys," Matt pointed to the van's clock. "It's only nine o'clock. We'll have plenty of time on the beach." He leaned back in his seat. "I can't wait to get there."

Davis bounced in his seat again. "Me neither. First, I'm going to go swimming. Then I'll eat. And then I'll swim again..."

"I wanna go shwimming too!" Veemon bounced along with his partner.

Wormmon crawled on my lap. "I've never been to the beach before," he said slowly. "What's it like?"

Veemon grinned. "It'sh the besht ever! Big wavesh, shand..."

"...Girls in bikinis..." Davis added slyly. "That's my favorite part."

Yolei reached the seat to smack Davis. "Grow up Davis!"

Davis turned around. "Oh come on Yolei," he scowled back at her. "Like you aren't excited about see us guys in bathing suits."

Yolei blushed a horrible red. "Shut up Davis!"

Davis flopped back next to me and smirked. "Davis strikes again." He said proudly.

I couldn't help but smile. Still, I pitied Yolei. She was such a slave to her emotions, and I could sympathize with her. She often got caught up in her feelings, like I had once. I twisted in my seat and smiled at her, trying to be as comforting as I could. "Don't be upset Yolei, Davis is just teasing you. And you don't have to worry him taking off his shirt. Not since he got that nasty, digesting rash."

Yolei blinked her large eyes at me and giggled slightly.

"Huh? Rash? I do not have a rash!" Davis tackled me. In a flash, he had pinned me down in our seat. He tapped a long finger on my forehead and grinned triumphantly. "Admit it!"

All rational thoughts had long since left my head. Absently, I realized that my feet were in Kari in TK's lap, and I illogically wanted to apologize to them because of it.

Davis' brown eyes shown a beautiful warm chocolate color, and he flashed me a perfect white smile, a bright contrast from his golden skin. "Well?" He said expectedly, "Am I better than you or what? I'm not gonna move until you admit that I do not have a rash."

He was sitting almost full on me chest. Another illogical thought - the seat belts couldn't be that safe if he was able to position himself like that.

Davis shifted slightly and pouted. "What, Gatomon got your tongue?"

There had to be some way to keep him on top of me... wait! No! Wrong type of thought! Regaining my composure. I rolled my eyes and tried to appear nonchalant. "Fine, Davis. I guess your rash must have cleared up."

Davis frowned, probably wondering if my "apology" was acceptable or not. Finally, he flicked my nose and climbed off me. "Good."

Kari and TK looked at us in shock. Finally, Kari managed to smile. "Next time you guys have a fight, make sure it's outside the van. TK and I had to deal with both your feet."

"Sorry Kari." Davis said sweetly. "I'll make it up to you, I swear!"

"Er, no, that's okay Davis..." Kari appeared as confused as I was. "You're forgiven."

My brain muddled around, my thoughts chaotic and slow. What had Davis been trying to do? He had to be teasing me, that much was clear, but... He had gone too far, right? There was a line between genius and insanity. Davis had to have been trying to show something. There was method to madness, but what he had been attempting to accomplish wasn't clear.

I bit my lip, the pain clearing through the mud in my head. Maybe Davis had been trying to prove that he was better than I was, that he no longer considered my an opponent. Dais was childish enough to resort to the physical to prove an emotion point.

Or maybe, my hopes blocked my reason; he had been flirting with me. I lingered on that, feeling my heart, which had only just calmed down, beat faster.

But then, what about Kari? I stole a glance at her, and was disappointed to see Davis attempt to put yet another move on her.
Cursed Davis. Damn him, and damn Kari too. And damn TK. And damn Tai too, were we ever going to get to the beach? Stupid Tai, and his stupid van. It wasn't fair, to force me to be so close to Davis. Everytime I inhaled I had to deal with his sweet scent, and even when I turned my head to gaze out the window, I could still see him out of the corner of my eye. And if that hadn't been worse enough, he was practically on top of me. He never held still, and everyone one of his movements was like a caress.

I had to get out of the van before I exploded.

"Look guys!" Tai took both of his hands off the wheel to throw them up in self-congratulations. "There it is! We made it!"

Perfect timing.
