Part 2: Dreaming Awake?
The
clean sea breeze swept over the two figures, which sat on the bench watching
the sunset. The fading sunlight casting
tranquil hues of red, orange yellow, pink and violet as the now red sun sunk
beneath the horizon.
" It's
really beautiful, isn't Daisuke?" the indigo haired boy asked completely
enraptured by the scenery before him.
" Yeah…"
Daisuke replied wistfully, not once glancing once at the sun, the only beauty
he had eyes for was the one sitting beside him.
Ken
abruptly turned to face his partner letting one of his rare smiles grace his
features. The other boy felt the blood rush to his cheeks once he realized that
he had been caught staring. The paler
boy blushed in turn causing both to turn swiftly away from each other in order
to school their nerves. Gathering all
of his courage the fiery leader of the digidestined slowly moved his hand to
cover Ken's gripping it gently. The
quieter boy slightly started turned to face him.
"Daisuke?…"
The lad
bit his lip momentarily trying to think of how to word his next sentences. "
Uh, Ken… there is… well something I've been meaning to tell you… but I've been
kind of … afraid of what you might think of me."
Ken once
again gave a gentle smile, " Well out with it Daisuke, you know you can tell me
anything."
" I… I
like you!" he expelled the words from chest like a cough.
The
other young man blinked in slight confusion, opening his mouth to say
something…
"… And
not just in the sense of liking a friend… I mean I LIKE, like you…" Daisuke
burst in before clenching his eyes shut waiting for Ken to smack him or yell or
something. He waited… and nothing
happened…
Suddenly
he felt Ken's hand squeeze his.
Cracking one eye open Daisuke looked over to see Ken's still smiling
face, eyes shimmering slightly with unshed tears.
" I'm glad
one of us said it… I'm not too sure I could have," he whispered unable to say
much else.
Daisuke
opened both eyes and turned to face him.
Neither was sure who initiated but soon Ken had his arms around
Daisuke's neck, while his twined around Ken's waist. They tilted their heads leaning closer and closer and…
"DAISUKE!
Get up twerp!"
~Dammit…~
" I'm
having the best dream only to be woken by the banshee from hell," Daisuke
muttered pulling back the covers to sit on the edge of his bed. Glancing over at the clock his eyes
widened. He had to be at school in 20
minutes. "Kuso!" he snapped rushing to the bathroom having a quick shower and
brushing his teeth before rushing back into his room and pulling on some
clothes. He looked frantically around
him for his calculator.
"Calculator…
calculator…" he chanted as his eyes, still fuzzy with sleep scanned the
room. Finally he grabbed the first blue
thing he saw.
"ITAI!
Dai-chan, I'm NOT your calculator!" the little digimon cried.
"Oops,
sorry," he replied absently, dropping poor Chibimon into his school bag, then
quickly grabbing his real calculator and dropping it on to the digimon's head.
"OW!"
"Gomen…"
Daisuke said again before bursting through the door of his room, steeling a
piece of toast off of Jun's plate before rushing out the door. His sister yelling after him.

The two
figures stepped out of the sea green doorway as is shut closed behind
them. The little snake-like creature
looking up at the turquoise haired girl in confused.
" We didn't
go anywhere," he stated.
" Yes we
did, it is now 25 years earlier," she replied.
" Really!
Wow… do you think that I'll meet myself?" the little digimon beamed.
Yuriko
rolled her eyes, sighing before she answered, " No you will not meet your
self."
" But you
said…"
" Kazemon
we basically pressed the rewind button, therefore we are us… just 25 years
younger," Yuriko explained.
" You don't
look 25 years younger," he pointed out.
" That's
the POINT, I… oh never mind… now where's that damn digiport?" she muttered,
this trip wasn't shaping out to what is should be.
"Um it's to
your left," Kazemon said pointing with his tail.
Yuriko
looked over and sure enough just a foot away from her was the digiport. "Oh… I knew that…" she said trying
(unsuccessfully) to hide her stupidity. " Well let's go… now how do I open it
again?"
Kazemon
just sweatdropped.
