Protectorate4
As Glenn's mind started working he felt somthing odd on his face, "what in the world," he thought bringing his hand up to his face. It touched something soft, and kind of wet, it was stuck to his hand! Glenn sat up and wiped off the gunk, "what the hell?" Glenn stuck out his tongue and licked a little off his finger, "dream whip?" Glenn heard about five girls burst into laughter, and it hit him, "ha, ha girls," Glenn said in a mocking voice, "but don't you think it's a little early to be playing pranks on a guy you barly just met," he wiped the last of it off his face and whiped it at them, they squealed with delight as the white foam hit the floor and them. Glenn didn't bother to open his eyes, he simply fell slowly back into bed. He was too tired to even care that he was in the girl's cabbin.
"I just thought it'd be nice to greet you with a good old fashion prank," Mimi said.
Glenn opened his left eye and looked toward the girl he assumed had just admitted to the prank, she was average height with brown hair, and she was dressed in pink loose fitting pajama top and bottom. Glenn cringed in his mind at the amount of pink on her, "well since I'm the butt of your prank I think It'd be nice to know your name," Glenn closed his eye.
"It's princess Mimi," Mimi announced happily.
"Princess," Glenn mumbled to himself in disbelief, "why do women always obssess with the princess thing," he thought to himself, "I better humor her for now, "well princess, my name is Glenn," he turned so his back was to her, "and don't get it into your head I'm going to be a good target for anymore pranks."
"Ooohh, and why is that," Mimi asked sweetly.
"Because I dought that the head counsoller will tollerate a guy sleeping in the girls cabbin," Glenn replied, "I don't think he minded before because I was completely incapasitated, but now that I'm better he, or she,"Glenn added quickly, "will probably send me to one of the boy's cabbins." Glenn didn't bother to roll over to talk to her face, though he did take a quick look to the bed Sora was in, her hair hanged down as she layed on her back and Glenn could see her sleeping bag rise and lower.
"I don't think so," Mimi declared in a very happy voice.
"What do you mean," Glenn demanded over his shoulder, now quite annoyed cause he wanted to sleep more.
"Cause I used my money to rent the cabbin from him," Mimi said sounding quite proud of herself, "the only ones allowed in the cabbin are you, me, Sora and Kari."
"And them," Glenn asked gesturing widely to the other girls in the cabbin.
"Oh, they're just some friends from the other cabbins here to see you humilliated."
"Swell," Glenn thought to himself, "I don't feel like argueing with this girl so I'll just change her mind," Glenn rolled out of bed and got to his feet, he put on his coldest face, "and what makes you think that was a good idea? How do you know I'm not some sick pervert or something? Hum?" Glenn walked over to Mimi and stopped inches from her face, the other girls now quietly fled the scene, "what makes you so sure I won't kill you all," Glenn demanded forcing his voice into a low hiss. "Got her now," Glenn thought triumphantly.
"This," Mimi lifted her crest out of under her pajama top by it's cord and displayed it before Glenn.
Glenn's eyes widened in disbelief, "it looks just like my pendant!" Glenn took Mimi's crest in his hand and examined it, "except hers is gold, and it has a different symbol inscribed on it," Glenn looked up at Mimi, "where did you get this," Glenn asked hoping to learn anything about his own. He had tried pawning it when he was in Japan but Epsilon had all but bitten his head off saying how important it was, and it's not his to give away, along with alot of threats and insults.
"Hm-mm, sorry can't tell till everyones here," Mimi walked over to the other side of the cabbin and sat down on one of the lower bunks pulling her crest out of Glenn's hand.
Glenn stood there for a moment, "how'd did she find out about my pendant," he thought to himself, "better ask. How did you find out about my pendant," he asked looking at her.
"We saw it glow when you brought Sora in this mourning," Kari piped in, she had gottin into her bed rather than run out of the cabbin.
"It glowed," Glenn was confused, he thought it to be just a pendant, an important one but just a pendant. Glenn wanted to ask more but than a loud clanging sounded deftened the air, "what the hell was that," Glenn asked after it had stopped.
"Yay! Breakfast," Mimi jumped to her feet smiling for all the world to see, then she looked at Glenn with a rather angry look, "well?" Was all she said expecting Glenn to understand.
"What," he replied a little taken back.
"Turn around, I may have to sleep with a boy in the same room but it don't I'll change my clothes around one," Mimi crossed her arms under her chest for effect.
Glenn turned a deep shade of red and turned around getting a giggle out of the two girls. When he turned around he saw that Sora was awake and sitting up, he quickly fell to one knee beside her, "good mourning Sora," he said as she rubbed her eyes.
"Good mourning Glenn," Sora said trying to wipe the sleep from her eyes, then she looked at Glenn and noticed some weird white stuff on his face, "what is that white stuff on your face," Sora asked pointing to some dream whip on the side of his cheek.
Glenn wiped off the dream whip he had missed and smiled, "Mimi thought it'd be nice to induct me into to fold with an immature prank," he explained trying to sound above such a thing(which he wasn't).
Sora smiled and laughed a bit when she imagined what Glenn would look like his face covered with dream whip, "was that the bell," Sora asked getting out of bed.
"Yup, and if we hurry you might be able to get a seat by my brother," Kari said with a giggle as a little color appeard on Sora's cheeks.
"Food, food," Mimi sang running out of the cabbin fully dressed with Kari in hot persuit.
"Don't worrry I'll save you a spot by Tai," Kari called back.
Sora continued to blush but smiled, she then turned to Glenn, "Glenn get ready and wait outside for me okay," Sora pointed to Glenn's vest hanging on the peg by his bed with his halibert attached to it. Glenn walked over and threw it on with out a second thought, he looked down to his shoes and pulled out his socks, he pulled them on then laced on his shoes without a word. Glenn then stood up and stuck his hand in one of his chest pockets, he sighed in relief, then walked outside. Sora watched the intire time Glenn got ready then starting getting dressed, "I hope Tai isn't mad at me," Sora said pulling her shirt over her head, "I'm only trying to get to know my, brother," Sora finished slowly as a warm feeling of safety came over her, she stood there dreamily for a few moments till Glenn banged on the door.
"You better hurry if you want that seat Sora," Glenn shouted teasingly through the door, Glenn then turned around and leaned against the wall beside the door and looked into the forest, "almost like when I was living with uncle Mike," Glenn thought happily of the days he spent training with his uncle, "I will find out who killed you Mike, and when I do he'll wish he were already dead," Glenn had made that same promise over a hundred times now, and it still ment as much to him now as it did before. Glenn was so deep in thought he didn't see Tai approach till he was a couple feet away, "here to take Sora to breakfast?"
"Yea, and to make sure you didn't do anything to her," Tai said stoping infront of Sora's cabbin, "hey Sora! Sora come on I got us some good seats," Tai called through the door.
"I'm coming Tai," Sora called back, then she quickly pulled on her hat, made sure her hair was right and ran out the door only slowing down enough so that she didn't nock Tai over, but they did collide, getting some sidelong glances from passers-by and a stifiled laugh from Glenn. "H-hi Tai," Sora said dreamily with her arms around his chest and his around her neck.
Tai stared into Sora's eyes intranced, "wow, they're pretty," Tai thought to himself, "maybe one quick kiss before breakfast." Tai slowly tilted his head to one side and began to lean closer.
Sora saw what Tai was about to do and closed her eyes in anticipation.
"WHAT THE HELL DID I TELL YOU TWO LAST NIGHT!" Yelled the same infuriated counsoller, "I SAID NO KISSING! NOW GO GET YOUR BREAKFAST AND I DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN OR ELSE!" He pointed his finger at them looking as if he were trying to shoot the idea into their heads.
Sora's head fell against Tai's chest as his fell back dropping his arms to his sides. Sora kept her arms around Tai and turned her head away from the counsoller wouldn't see her blush. "Jack-ass," Glenn said as soon as the guy was out of ear shot, this caused Tai and Sora to jump, for they had forgotten he was there.
"G-Glenn, umm, sorry," Sora apologised turning her head to hide her fase in his chest. Tai on the other hand turned bright red with anger and was about to start shouting at Glenn when he started talking.
"About what," Glenn said with a slight chuckle, "for wanting to kiss your boyfriend? Ha! don't apologise to me Sora I'm not good enough to be apologised to," Glenn walked past them a few steps toward the center of camp, "Tai," Glenn said to the now very pissed boyfriend, "I know we got off on the wrong foot and for some reason you don't like me so why don't I keep El'jack-ass away from you two and we call it even?" Glenn clapped his hands together, "good, good," Glenn turned to follow the counsoller not waiting for an answer, "I'm going to do what ever it takes to make my life here work here with Sora," Glenn promised to himself.
Tai watched him leave, "don't think you're fouling me asshole," he thought to himself, "I won't let you hurt Sor! MMM." Tai was cut off by Sora's lips which he fell right into.
"Hey Yo-yo head! You're kind makes me sick," Glenn called out as soon as he came into view, "using toys as weapons now, can't you guys fight like real men?" The guy stopped and turned to face Glenn.
"How did you know I fight with a Yo-yo," he demanded sternly.
Glenn caught up to the guy about ten feet from a big lodge, in the middle of a small grass field about twenty feet around, "cause I know who you are, you fought my uncle two years ago in an illegal open weapons tournament," Glenn said remembering his uncles exact words, "he said you were the worst fighter he ever faced, he said you were and insult to fight and were barely worth the effort." Sure Glenn had twisted the truth a bit but hey! This guy had sucked, uncle Mike was too nice a guy to say so directly.
"Is that so," The counsoller said pulling a Yo-yo out of each pocket, "and who was your uncle?"
"Mike Rentholen! Master of the Tri-blade hook shot!" Glenn announced proudly, "and the greatest weapons master ever!"
"HAHAHA," the counsoller shook with laughter on the outside, but was terrified on the inside, "if you're his nephew then you would be able to stop THIS!" He shouted launching a Yo-yo at Glenn hitting him in the cheek.
Glenn's head whipped to the right as the Yo-yo hit him, he left it there for a moment then turned back slowly, "I never said I was as good as him," Glenn said quietly, "but I will kick you're ass if you try that again."
"Is that so well try thi.." He was cut off by the boom of another man's voice.
"Counsoller Ericson," A large man said walking down the steps to the entance of the lodge, "What the hell do you think you are doing? He is a guest here and will be treated accordingly, do I make myself clear?" The man stopped on the gravel at the foot of the steps.
"But sir," Ericson pleaded.
"No buts Ericson," he said.
Then somthing clicked in Glenn's mind, "no accent," he mumbled to himself, "are you Canadian," Glenn asked, then he looked him over, he was a little taller than Glenn, just as muscular, jet black hair with green eyes. He wore a plain white loose sleeve shirt with green army pants.
"Born and raised," he replied proudly, "and I'm guessing you are too since you have no accent."
Glenn bowed slightly and motioned with his hand like he was fluorishing a cape, "Glenn Rentholen of Nova Scotia," he said standing back up, "and you are?"
"Since you are only a guest and not a counsoller you can call me Dave, and I'm from P.E.I." He said turning to walk back into the lodge, "and since you are a fellow Canadian I think you'll be most interested in the game I'm going to be setting up for later today," he smiled at Glenn for a moment then turned his gaze to Ericson, "since you seem to be easily angered I think it'd be best if you left Ericson, now." Then he walked into the lodge and ignored Ericson's pleas of mercy and how it was Glenn's fault. He then turned to Glenn, gave him an ugly look, and stormed off to one of the smaller lodges.
Glenn turned when he heard a foot steps approaching, he turned to see Tai and Sora approaching holding hands looking quite happy.
"What was that all about?" Tai asked when he was close enough.
"Nothing," Glenn replied smiling.
"Oh my, Glenn!," Sora let go of Tai's hand and ran up to Glenn, "What happened to your face," she cupped his chin with her hands and turned his head so she could get a better look.
"It's nothing Sora, really," Glenn assured her trying to pull his head away.
"What'd you do!" Tai demanded, "try to beat up that counsoller! come on answer me," he commanded Glenn, "this is proably just part of your plan to hurt Sora, isn't it!"
"Stop it Tai! Can't you see he's the one who was hurt," Sora scolded him, "honestly Tai why can't you just trust him for my sake?" Sora could feal the tears starting to appear behind her eyes but she pushed them away.
Glenn quickly pulled away and tried to save his sisters breakfast with her boyfriend, "look the bruise isn't that big of a deal and Sora go easy on Tai, he's got good cause to be worried," Glenn said trying a different approach to gain Tai's trust, "look Tai why don't we get together after breakfast and talk man-to-man?"
"Fine with me, c'mon Sora let's get some grub," Tai said coming up beside Sora and taking her hand. Glenn followed after them silently.
The inside of the lodge was huge! The walls were brown on top and white on bottom seperated a piece of plywood. There was a large stone fire place in the middle on the right wall. There was a second door at the far end of the lodge in the left wall and in the back was a door leading to the kitchen. The main room held six tables each filled with children, except for a table off to the right which only had six people sitting at it. He recongnized Mimi, Kari and the guy with the cool hair cut, "Matt wasn't it?" Glenn thought to himself remembering the fight Tai had with him in the mourning. Tai and Sora began to walk toward the table so Glenn decided to follow, a little nervious that he might be told to sit somewhere else.
"Hi Tai," Kari said as her big brother approached with Sora and Glenn.
"Hey Glenn sit here man," Matt said motioning to the inbetween him and Joe. Glenn walked over and sat down as Tai and Sora took two seats at the other end of the table.
"Thanks," Glenn said as he took off his halibert and rested it against the wall behind his seat.
"So Glenn where are you from?" Joe asked taking a bite of the pancakes in front of him.
"Canada," Glenn replied.
"Wow," T.K. said, "isn't it cold there?"
Glenn looked at the guy for a moment, he was shorter than most people at the table, he had hair like Matt except he wore an odd looking hat on his head. He wore shorts and a short sleeved shirt with a pocket in the front. "Not really, to tell the truth I find this temperature a little uncomfortable." Glenn adjusted himself so that he was leaning against the wall.
"Does that mean you know french! I just love the french language it's so romantic, please say something in french," Mimi put her hands together in front of her staring at Glenn from across the table with hearts in her eyes.
"Umm, french, right, well I'm sorry but I can't," Glenn said apologetically, while letting the chair fall gently back onto all four legs, "I maybe Canadian but the french language is something that never agreed with me, sorry," he shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh," Mimi fell disheartedly back into her chair. The serving guy came around then and dropped a plate of pancakes in front of Glenn, Sora and Tai, then left.
"Wanna drink," T.K. held out the bottle maple syrup to Glenn, he just threw his head back and laughed.
"Buddy what ever you heard about Canadians drinking maple syrup," Glenn said after he stopped laughing, "forget it, we don't." T.K. looked embarassed as he set the bottle down, "don't be embarassed over something like this kid, I've had grown men come up and ask advice on dog sleds, which I have no clue on, so don't worry," T.k. still looked a little embarassed, and since Glenn wanted to be friends with Sora's friends he decided to be a little bold in order to cheer the kid up, "hey, um, first of all what's your name?"
"T.K." He answered.
"Okay T.K. I'll drink the syrup if, if someones willing to have a chuging contest with me," Glenn offered, picking up the brown bottle.
"Eww," exclaimed Mimi.
"Cool, I'm in," said Matt getting a 'you're just as sick' look from Mimi.
"No way Matt I'm doing it," Tai said grabbing the other bottle before Matt could reach it.
"No Tai," Sora said grabbing his arm, "don't do it." Sora pleaded.
"Why not," Tai demanded.
"Cause, well," Sora had a good reason, but she didn't want anyone else to know cause it was embarassing, so she pulled down Tai and whispered in his ear. Tai's eyes widened slightly but then returned to normal, he gingerly tossed the bottle to Matt who caught it with his right hand, Tai then sat back to watch them make fools of them selves.
As they were leaving Matt and Glenn worked to keep their stomachs down. By the time they were about to start three other guys and two girls had joined in on the contest, they had lost to a girl named Nikki. Though Glenn didn't particularly care right at that moment, he just wanted his stomach to stop jumping, "hey Matt," Glenn said to the other guy trying to hold his stomach down, "let's not do that again, alright," Glenn stuck his hand out to shake on it, Matt agreed wholeheartedly.
Tai, Izzy and T.K. were laughing at them for losing to a girl, Joe was scolding them on how this isn't good for their disgestive system, Mimi, Sora, and Kari were making comments on how boys can be so gross at times. The group walked through the woods to the clearing where Tai and Sora had been caught making out in and sat down. They all laughed at Glenn and Matt for a few minutes more as the pair laid on their backs trying to calm there guts. Tai was sitting against a tree with Sora sitting between his legs with his arms wrapped around her, Matt was a foot to Glenn's right groaning, Joe, (who Glenn had been introduced to during the competition, along with Izzy) was sitting on the grass indian style, Izzy was sitting on a stump nearby Mimi was also leaning against a tree, T.K. and Kari were sitting together to Glenn's left. Glenn then sat up slowly and pulled off his pendant, he then held it out in front of him causing everyone to stop and stare. "I'm guessing since Mimi has one you all do," Glenn said sternly, "and I was wondering if anyone here can explain to me what it is."
"He's gotta crest too!" T.K. said, "does that mean he's a digidestined too?" T.K. asked his brother.
"Maybe he's one of us, maybe he's not after Sora," Tai ignored the questions his friends shot at Glenn, and the ones he asked back, Tai contiued to examine Glenn in a new light until he noticed everyone was looking at him, "w-what," he asked turning his head so that no one could see how red his face had gotten.
"I said," Glenn said a little exaspirated, "since everyone votes you the leader could you give me a brief run-down of you adventures in the Digiworld," Glenn had returned his, crest, as they had called it, to it's hiding spot under his shirt and was listening intently as Tai recounted their adventures in the Digiworld to him. after a few minutes Tai stopped, "wow," Glenn said in amazment, "that's pretty weird stuff to deal with, um where are these Digimon you spoke of," Glenn asked looking into the surronding forest.
"They're probably hiding some where in the forest ready to scare us for a good laugh," Joe said adjusting his glasses on his face.
"Man that guy can be a downer," Glenn thought to himself, "are you sure there isn't any way back to the Digiworld," Glenn asked hopefully, "perhaps this Gennai guy could give me so answers to whay I have this," Glenn gently tapped the spot where his crest was hidden under his shirt.
"It is scientifically impossible," Izzy told Glenn, "we just don't know enough to break through the Digital barrier seperating our two worlds." Glenn hung his head. Then an idea came to him and he reached out with his mind.
"Epsilon, Epsilon answer me," Glenn demanded.
"What is it!" Epsilon cried, "I'm enjoying a belly ru- you want to know about what!"
Glenn hadn't wait for Epsilon to stop talking before he explained everything to him, "I want to know everything you know about the digiworld! You have one of these crest things just like me, so you should know something, please come to where we are and I'll explain how I found out what I know okay? Good!" Epsilon rolled over and got to his feet and grudgingly left the group of girls who had been pating him. He tore through the woods and came to the clearing Glenn had discribed in seconds, "now Glenn spill it," Epsilon commanded walking out into the clearing through a bush.
"First," Glenn said calmly lifting his hand and dismissing Epsilon's command, "introductions," he started to say into Epsilon's mind and speaking out loud, "Sora, Tai, Izzy, Joe, Mimi, Kari, Matt and T.K. this is my counterpart Epsilon," he said trying to sound like a big shot, "Epsilon, these are my friends," Glenn liked the way that sounded, "the Digidestined," he smiled for a moment as Epsilon looked all the kids over.
"I know Glenn I met their Digimon a little while ago," Epsilon said sitting down by the two youngest so they could scratch his back and ears. He saw that Glenn was very confused, "yes there are Digimon in this Glenn, *sigh*, Glenn I don't want to sit here and tell you what happened so I'll just show you," Epsilon raised his head till his crest was showing from where it was attached to his body, a beam of light came from it and hit Glenn's. Glenn's whole body went ridget as in his mind images and knowledge were given to him, during the transferance he thought he heard a voice say, "perfect," Glenn felt some of the fog leave his mind and travel the beam to Epsilon. As Epsilon closed off the link he felt the fog hit his mind and steal his memories, "damn I got carless, sorry Gennai," Epsilon then looked up to see alot of confused people looking for answers, and they were looking at him! "Hmm, Glenn what was I about to say?" he whispered through there connection.
"I don't know," he stated to him, "you mean you burst in here, command me to tell what I know about the Digiworld, when you obviously know more! You very painfully push info into my brain and you expect me to know what you were about to say!" Glenn's head fell forward till his chin hit his chest, he felt the sweat drop going down the top of his head. "This is going to take awhile." He sighed.

"WHAT THE HELL DID I TELL YOU TWO LAST NIGHT!" Yelled the same infuriated counsoller, "I SAID NO KISSING! NOW GO GET YOUR BREAKFAST AND I DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN OR ELSE!" He pointed his finger at them looking as if he were trying to shoot the idea into their heads.
Sora's head fell against Tai's chest as his fell back dropping his arms to his sides. Sora kept her arms around Tai and turned her head away from the counsoller wouldn't see her blush. "Jack-ass," Glenn said as soon as the guy was out of ear shot, this caused Tai and Sora to jump, for they had forgotten he was there.
"G-Glenn, umm, sorry," Sora apologised turning her head to hide her fase in his chest. Tai on the other hand turned bright red with anger and was about to start shouting at Glenn when he started talking.
"About what," Glenn said with a slight chuckle, "for wanting to kiss your boyfriend? Ha! don't apologise to me Sora I'm not good enough to be apologised to," Glenn walked past them a few steps toward the center of camp, "Tai," Glenn said to the now very pissed boyfriend, "I know we got off on the wrong foot and for some reason you don't like me so why don't I keep El'jack-ass away from you two and we call it even?" Glenn clapped his hands together, "good, good," Glenn turned to follow the counsoller not waiting for an answer, "I'm going to do what ever it takes to make my life here work here with Sora," Glenn promised to himself.
Tai watched him leave, "don't think you're fouling me asshole," he thought to himself, "I won't let you hurt Sor! MMM." Tai was cut off by Sora's lips which he fell right into.
"Hey Yo-yo head! You're kind makes me sick," Glenn called out as soon as he came into view, "using toys as weapons now, can't you guys fight like real men?" The guy stopped and turned to face Glenn.
"How did you know I fight with a Yo-yo," he demanded sternly.
Glenn caught up to the guy about ten feet from a big lodge, in the middle of a small grass field about twenty feet around, "cause I know who you are, you fought my uncle two years ago in an illegal open weapons tournament," Glenn said remembering his uncles exact words, "he said you were the worst fighter he ever faced, he said you were and insult to fight and were barely worth the effort." Sure Glenn had twisted the truth a bit but hey! This guy had sucked, uncle Mike was too nice a guy to say so directly.
"Is that so," The counsoller said pulling a Yo-yo out of each pocket, "and who was your uncle?"
"Mike Rentholen! Master of the Tri-blade hook shot!" Glenn announced proudly, "and the greatest weapons master ever!"
"HAHAHA," the counsoller shook with laughter on the outside, but was terrified on the inside, "if you're his nephew then you would be able to stop THIS!" He shouted launching a Yo-yo at Glenn hitting him in the cheek.
Glenn's head whipped to the right as the Yo-yo hit him, he left it there for a moment then turned back slowly, "I never said I was as good as him," Glenn said quietly, "but I will kick you're ass if you try that again."
"Is that so well try thi.." He was cut off by the boom of another man's voice.
"Counsoller Ericson," A large man said walking down the steps to the entance of the lodge, "What the hell do you think you are doing? He is a guest here and will be treated accordingly, do I make myself clear?" The man stopped on the gravel at the foot of the steps.
"But sir," Ericson pleaded.
"No buts Ericson," he said.
Then somthing clicked in Glenn's mind, "no accent," he mumbled to himself, "are you Canadian," Glenn asked, then he looked him over, he was a little taller than Glenn, just as muscular, jet black hair with green eyes. He wore a plain white loose sleeve shirt with green army pants.
"Born and raised," he replied proudly, "and I'm guessing you are too since you have no accent."
Glenn bowed slightly and motioned with his hand like he was fluorishing a cape, "Glenn Rentholen of Nova Scotia," he said standing back up, "and you are?"
"Since you are only a guest and not a counsoller you can call me Dave, and I'm from P.E.I." He said turning to walk back into the lodge, "and since you are a fellow Canadian I think you'll be most interested in the game I'm going to be setting up for later today," he smiled at Glenn for a moment then turned his gaze to Ericson, "since you seem to be easily angered I think it'd be best if you left Ericson, now." Then he walked into the lodge and ignored Ericson's pleas of mercy and how it was Glenn's fault. He then turned to Glenn, gave him an ugly look, and stormed off to one of the smaller lodges.
Glenn turned when he heard a foot steps approaching, he turned to see Tai and Sora approaching holding hands looking quite happy.
"What was that all about?" Tai asked when he was close enough.
"Nothing," Glenn replied smiling.
"Oh my, Glenn!," Sora let go of Tai's hand and ran up to Glenn, "What happened to your face," she cupped his chin with her hands and turned his head so she could get a better look.
"It's nothing Sora, really," Glenn assured her trying to pull his head away.
"What'd you do!" Tai demanded, "try to beat up that counsoller! come on answer me," he commanded Glenn, "this is proably just part of your plan to hurt Sora, isn't it!"
"Stop it Tai! Can't you see he's the one who was hurt," Sora scolded him, "honestly Tai why can't you just trust him for my sake?" Sora could feal the tears starting to appear behind her eyes but she pushed them away.
Glenn quickly pulled away and tried to save his sisters breakfast with her boyfriend, "look the bruise isn't that big of a deal and Sora go easy on Tai, he's got good cause to be worried," Glenn said trying a different approach to gain Tai's trust, "look Tai why don't we get together after breakfast and talk man-to-man?"
"Fine with me, c'mon Sora let's get some grub," Tai said coming up beside Sora and taking her hand. Glenn followed after them silently.
The inside of the lodge was huge! The walls were brown on top and white on bottom seperated a piece of plywood. There was a large stone fire place in the middle on the right wall. There was a second door at the far end of the lodge in the left wall and in the back was a door leading to the kitchen. The main room held six tables each filled with children, except for a table off to the right which only had six people sitting at it. He recongnized Mimi, Kari and the guy with the cool hair cut, "Matt wasn't it?" Glenn thought to himself remembering the fight Tai had with him in the mourning. Tai and Sora began to walk toward the table so Glenn decided to follow, a little nervious that he might be told to sit somewhere else.
"Hi Tai," Kari said as her big brother approached with Sora and Glenn.
"Hey Glenn sit here man," Matt said motioning to the inbetween him and Joe. Glenn walked over and sat down as Tai and Sora took two seats at the other end of the table.
"Thanks," Glenn said as he took off his halibert and rested it against the wall behind his seat.
"So Glenn where are you from?" Joe asked taking a bite of the pancakes in front of him.
"Canada," Glenn replied.
"Wow," T.K. said, "isn't it cold there?"
Glenn looked at the guy for a moment, he was shorter than most people at the table, he had hair like Matt except he wore an odd looking hat on his head. He wore shorts and a short sleeved shirt with a pocket in the front. "Not really, to tell the truth I find this temperature a little uncomfortable." Glenn adjusted himself so that he was leaning against the wall.
"Does that mean you know french! I just love the french language it's so romantic, please say something in french," Mimi put her hands together in front of her staring at Glenn from across the table with hearts in her eyes.
"Umm, french, right, well I'm sorry but I can't," Glenn said apologetically, while letting the chair fall gently back onto all four legs, "I maybe Canadian but the french language is something that never agreed with me, sorry," he shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh," Mimi fell disheartedly back into her chair. The serving guy came around then and dropped a plate of pancakes in front of Glenn, Sora and Tai, then left.
"Wanna drink," T.K. held out the bottle maple syrup to Glenn, he just threw his head back and laughed.
"Buddy what ever you heard about Canadians drinking maple syrup," Glenn said after he stopped laughing, "forget it, we don't." T.K. looked embarassed as he set the bottle down, "don't be embarassed over something like this kid, I've had grown men come up and ask advice on dog sleds, which I have no clue on, so don't worry," T.k. still looked a little embarassed, and since Glenn wanted to be friends with Sora's friends he decided to be a little bold in order to cheer the kid up, "hey, um, first of all what's your name?"
"T.K." He answered.
"Okay T.K. I'll drink the syrup if, if someones willing to have a chuging contest with me," Glenn offered, picking up the brown bottle.
"Eww," exclaimed Mimi.
"Cool, I'm in," said Matt getting a 'you're just as sick' look from Mimi.
"No way Matt I'm doing it," Tai said grabbing the other bottle before Matt could reach it.
"No Tai," Sora said grabbing his arm, "don't do it." Sora pleaded.
"Why not," Tai demanded.
"Cause, well," Sora had a good reason, but she didn't want anyone else to know cause it was embarassing, so she pulled down Tai and whispered in his ear. Tai's eyes widened slightly but then returned to normal, he gingerly tossed the bottle to Matt who caught it with his right hand, Tai then sat back to watch them make fools of them selves.
As they were leaving Matt and Glenn worked to keep their stomachs down. By the time they were about to start three other guys and two girls had joined in on the contest, they had lost to a girl named Nikki. Though Glenn didn't particularly care right at that moment, he just wanted his stomach to stop jumping, "hey Matt," Glenn said to the other guy trying to hold his stomach down, "let's not do that again, alright," Glenn stuck his hand out to shake on it, Matt agreed wholeheartedly.
Tai, Izzy and T.K. were laughing at them for losing to a girl, Joe was scolding them on how this isn't good for their disgestive system, Mimi, Sora, and Kari were making comments on how boys can be so gross at times. The group walked through the woods to the clearing where Tai and Sora had been caught making out in and sat down. They all laughed at Glenn and Matt for a few minutes more as the pair laid on their backs trying to calm there guts. Tai was sitting against a tree with Sora sitting between his legs with his arms wrapped around her, Matt was a foot to Glenn's right groaning, Joe, (who Glenn had been introduced to during the competition, along with Izzy) was sitting on the grass indian style, Izzy was sitting on a stump nearby Mimi was also leaning against a tree, T.K. and Kari were sitting together to Glenn's left. Glenn then sat up slowly and pulled off his pendant, he then held it out in front of him causing everyone to stop and stare. "I'm guessing since Mimi has one you all do," Glenn said sternly, "and I was wondering if anyone here can explain to me what it is."
"He's gotta crest too!" T.K. said, "does that mean he's a digidestined too?" T.K. asked his brother.
"Maybe he's one of us, maybe he's not after Sora," Tai ignored the questions his friends shot at Glenn, and the ones he asked back, Tai contiued to examine Glenn in a new light until he noticed everyone was looking at him, "w-what," he asked turning his head so that no one could see how red his face had gotten.
"I said," Glenn said a little exaspirated, "since everyone votes you the leader could you give me a brief run-down of you adventures in the Digiworld," Glenn had returned his, crest, as they had called it, to it's hiding spot under his shirt and was listening intently as Tai recounted their adventures in the Digiworld to him. after a few minutes Tai stopped, "wow," Glenn said in amazment, "that's pretty weird stuff to deal with, um where are these Digimon you spoke of," Glenn asked looking into the surronding forest.
"They're probably hiding some where in the forest ready to scare us for a good laugh," Joe said adjusting his glasses on his face.
"Man that guy can be a downer," Glenn thought to himself, "are you sure there isn't any way back to the Digiworld," Glenn asked hopefully, "perhaps this Gennai guy could give me so answers to whay I have this," Glenn gently tapped the spot where his crest was hidden under his shirt.
"It is scientifically impossible," Izzy told Glenn, "we just don't know enough to break through the Digital barrier seperating our two worlds." Glenn hung his head. Then an idea came to him and he reached out with his mind.
"Epsilon, Epsilon answer me," Glenn demanded.
"What is it!" Epsilon cried, "I'm enjoying a belly ru- you want to know about what!"
Glenn hadn't wait for Epsilon to stop talking before he explained everything to him, "I want to know everything you know about the digiworld! You have one of these crest things just like me, so you should know something, please come to where we are and I'll explain how I found out what I know okay? Good!" Epsilon rolled over and got to his feet and grudgingly left the group of girls who had been pating him. He tore through the woods and came to the clearing Glenn had discribed in seconds, "now Glenn spill it," Epsilon commanded walking out into the clearing through a bush.
"First," Glenn said calmly lifting his hand and dismissing Epsilon's command, "introductions," he started to say into Epsilon's mind and speaking out loud, "Sora, Tai, Izzy, Joe, Mimi, Kari, Matt and T.K. this is my counterpart Epsilon," he said trying to sound like a big shot, "Epsilon, these are my friends," Glenn liked the way that sounded, "the Digidestined," he smiled for a moment as Epsilon looked all the kids over.
"I know Glenn I met their Digimon a little while ago," Epsilon said sitting down by the two youngest so they could scratch his back and ears. He saw that Glenn was very confused, "yes there are Digimon in this Glenn, *sigh*, Glenn I don't want to sit here and tell you what happened so I'll just show you," Epsilon raised his head till his crest was showing from where it was attached to his body, a beam of light came from it and hit Glenn's. Glenn's whole body went ridget as in his mind images and knowledge were given to him, during the transferance he thought he heard a voice say, "perfect," Glenn felt some of the fog leave his mind and travel the beam to Epsilon. As Epsilon closed off the link he felt the fog hit his mind and steal his memories, "damn I got carless, sorry Gennai," Epsilon then looked up to see alot of confused people looking for answers, and they were looking at him! "Hmm, Glenn what was I about to say?" he whispered through there connection.
"I don't know," he stated to him, "you mean you burst in here, command me to tell what I know about the Digiworld, when you obviously know more! You very painfully push info into my brain and you expect me to know what you were about to say!" Glenn's head fell forward till his chin hit his chest, he felt the sweat drop going down the top of his head. "This is going to take awhile." He sighed.
