Flames will be pointedly ignored. My story takes place about four years after the "Battle for Both Worlds"
Errr, five for the Japanese version, making Yolei roughly sixteen or seventeen.
Disclaimer: I'm not making anything off of this fic, because: I DON'T OWN DIGIMON! *gasp!*
Ahem, and now- ONWARD!
Chapter 1, Part I: Secrets and Sundaes
Yolei shifted her weight from side to side, then balanced on her left
foot, then her right. She looked back into the sky and tried to count
the snowflakes falling. Then tried willing it to stop.
'Stupid weather. Can't you see that I'm FREEZING??'
She heard a car approach and looked up in excitement. Nope, not her.
'Grr, stupid Kari. You're ten minutes late!' she thought angrily, looking
at her watch, which had chosen that moment to stop working.
'Stupid watch! Stupid stupid stupid!!!' Her thoughts had ceased being
coherent. She stomped around in a small circle, hands flailing in the
air in typical Yolei fasion.
"Uhhh, Yoeli?" She spun around in surprise. "Kari! It's about time!
I
feel like I've been waiting here forever!"
Kari scratched the back of her head nervously and laughed, "Yeah, well
uh, sorry about that. Tai's soccer game ran a little late."
Yolei thought it was funny that *soccer* had actually been what had
gotten
Tai into college after all. He was the teams star player.
"You said you had something important to tell me?"
"Oh yeah, right. Come on, lets go get some ice cream, I'll tell you there."
She began walking. "Yolei?"
"Yeah?"
"Isn't your dad's shop in the other direction?"
"Yep." She didn't stop walking.
Kari shrugged and followed her.
***********************************************
"I'll have a strawberry milkshake." Kari said to the cashier.
"Very good, and you?" she said, turning to Yolei.
"I'll have a triple chocolate sundae with extra hot fudge."
Kari turned to look at her with mock surprise.
"TRIPLE chocolate? Wow Yolei, something must really be bothering you!"
she laughed.
Yolei looked into her eyes with a very serious expression. Kari suddenly
noticed how very tired she looked. Yolei turned away to go find their
table.
"Yolei?"
************
"You're WHAT??"
"Shhh, calm down Kari. People are staring." Yolei sat hunched over her
sundae.
"How can you tell me to be CALM?!? What do you mean you're pre-"
Yolei clamped a hand over her mouth. "Geez, Kari tell the whole world
why don't you?" her face was becoming flushed. She took her hand away.
"Besides, I don't know for sure. I haven't taken the test yet."
"Oh." Kari slouched back in her chair in relief. "Well, when are you
going to? I mean, you have to find out."
Yolei sighed. "Yeah, I know."
"Have you told Ken yet?"
Yolei's eyes widened. "NO, and you better not say anything either, to *anyone*"
"Don't worry I won't tell. Yolei what are you going to do if you are?"
She looked down at her melted ice cream.
"I don't know yet."
"I just can't believe it Yolei. I can't believe you might be pregnant."
Part II: Results
*bang bang bang!*
"Come on Yolei, how long does it take!"
"Hold on a second!" It was three days after Yolei had told Kari her
secret.
She wanted to take the tests earlier, but she had to wait for a day
when
her family was out. They were visiting her grandmother, and she had
feigned
illness. Her parents reluctantly allowed her to stay home.
Yolei stepped out of the bathroom and Kari saw five white sticks on
the
bathroom counter. "You took FIVE?"
Yolei smiled sheepishly, "Well, I wanted to be absolutely sure."
Kari sighed. Guess she couldn't blame her for that. "How long will it
be 'till we see the results?"
"Aboult half an hour."
The two decided to wait it out in Yolei's room. They spent the first
ten minutes leaning on the wall. The next five sitting on the floor.
Now Yolei was stretched out on the bed while Kari leaned up against
it.
Neither of them had yet to say a word.
"How much longer?"
"Fifteen."
"Now?
"Fifteen."
"Now?"
"Kari!"
Ten minutes later...
"Stop pacing like that will you? You're making me nervous!"
"I can't help it, this could change everything. How are we gonna tell
everyone? What about college? I feel like I'm gonna throw up!"
"What?! That's ridiculous- you're not even pregnant Kari!"
Finally...
*Ping!* The egg timer went off. "That means we can look now."
The girls got up slowly and walked cautiously to the bathroom, as if
a Tyrannymon was hiding in the shower.
"You look, I can't do it." Yolei said. Kari picked one up.
"Well?"
"Yes!! Yolei you've been worried all this time for nothing! It's a blue
line!"
"Thank g- wait, a blue line?"
"Yep!" said Kari, cheerfully.
"THAT MEANS I'M PREGNANT YOU DOLT!"
"Oh," she said. "My mistake."
Yolei sat on the edge of the bath. "How am I going to tell Ken?"
Okay, so that's it for now. Want me to continue? Then be a good little
reader and review! Arigatou!!
