The New Prophecy
By:
Alie & Christina
Hey digi-fans this is Alie Johnson of the digidestined. Hope you like the last book Tai and I had a big fight and we broke up but towards the end Tai realized that he hadn't gotten over me, well lets get started.
1 An evil unfaced before will track down the digital princess
Once she is destroyed, it will find and destroy the ones like her
One of the digital princes will then summon the spirit of one of the digital princesses
After it is destroyed, the lost ones will come back
I sat bolt strait up I was now breathing heavily. "That was really creepy." I said.
Looking at the time it was 11:30 p.m. it was too late to call Tai. "What was I thinking, I'm not talking to Tai." The phone rang loudly from the living room. I ran down the stairs to get the phone and picked it up.
"Hello, Alie speaking."
"Hey, it's Matt."
"Hey Matt, how you doing?"
"Good you?"
"I'm fine. Why did you call me at this time of night?"
"I had a very strange dream."
That's when Christina came down the stairs.
"Alie, I had the strangest dream. It was about a prophecy…"
"You to?" I asked.
"Yah, hey who are you talking to?"
"Matt."
"Why would he be calling now?"
"He had one to, you go ahead and talk to him I need to head to bed I gotta get up early tomorrow."
"Night." She said as I handed over the phone and headed up stairs.
"Night!" I called down.
Laying down the phone in my room started to ring, "Hello." I said sleepily.
"Alie?" a familiar voice asked.
"Yah."
"It's me, Tai." I came close to hanging up but I decided to see what he wanted and besides he sounded worried.
"What's wrong?"
"It's this dream I had."
"Let me guess it was about a prophecy?"
"How did you know?"
"So far you, Matt, Christina, and I have had the same dream."
"Weird, but I'm worried that it might be about you."
"It is."
"How you're not a princess."
"That's what you think."
"You are?"
"Yah so are Christina, Katie, Kari, and Amanda."
"And the guys?"
"Well Brian, Jake, John, Matt, T.K. and yourself are digital princes."
"Weird."
"Yeah."
"How long have you known?"
"About month after we first came to the digital world."
"This is the longest conversation we've had in a while."
"Yah, well I'm still mad at you. Though I'm still your friend Tai."
"Well, that is very nice of you to say that."
"Hey I've been your friend ever since preschool so how could I stay mad at you for a long period of time."
"I got to go. I need to get some sleep since we have practice for the touring around the world."
"See you tomorrow buddy."
"Bye."
Hanging up the phone I lay down and fell asleep. Waking up that morning I was happy because I had my best friend back I headed out to the garage with Christina my eyes widened as I saw a brand new SUV. It was beautiful Blue- green, leather interior sports utility vehicle. It even had an automatic start, unlock and lock buttons, and a CD player. To top it of there was a giant red bow on its roof. There was a card on the hood opening it the card said:
Alie,
For your enjoyment to drive this great gift is for you, open the glove box and you will find the keys to your new SUV.
Sincerely,
???
"That's amazing Alie." Christina said as she put her bag in her Dodge Durango and looked over the truck.
"Wonder who gave this to me." I said.
"I don't know. We need to pick up Tai and Matt then get to rehearsal." Christina said. She hopped into her Dodge Durango and waited for me to pull out first before she backed out of the driveway. We sped off to pick up the boys. I went one way and Christina went the other way. I pulled into the parking lot and went to Kamiya's apartment.
"Hi Alie." Kari said when I had knocked the door.
"Hey Kari, where's your brother?" I asked.
"Still asleep." She answered.
"Oh brother we're going to be late." I said.
Kari and I headed to his room and looked in and sure enough there was Tai face up asleep. Kari and I walked over and looked at him. I sat down on the edge of his bed a flicked his ear once and he didn't wake up.
"I hate it when he's this stubborn." I said.
"How in the world are we going to wake him up?"
"Easy get me a plastic bag and a pair of scissors."
Coming back I cut a hole that would fit over his head. Putting it over his head we made sure there was no hole for water to leak out of, taking the glass of water from the side of his bed I poured it on his head waking him up instantly.
"Good morning sleepy head." I said to Tai as he wiped the water off his face.
"Morning." He said sleepily as he took off the plastic bag and went to go brush his hair.
After brushing it he used his hair spray to stick the loose hairs together, after he threw on a clean shirt since he had slept in his pants as usual and we headed to the parking lot.
"Wow where did you get the new truck?" he asked me surprised.
"Well I guess that rules out that you gave it to me. Oh yah, I just got it this morning it was sitting in the driveway here's the card that came with it and there was a giant red bow on the roof." I said handing it to him while I drove to where the concert was going to be held.
On the way there we discussed who could have given it to me. We came up with about 20 different people. Arriving at the hall we got there the same time as Christina and Matt.
"Good you could make it on time." Andy said as he shut the door that lead to his office.
"I had a little problem with goggle boy here." I said pointing to Tai.
"I had a slight problem but I was able to wake him up my way." Christina said smiling at Matt.
"Today, we are going to work on Don't Look Down. We have to work on the trapeze act with Bbmak. Although you got it down when you performed to Japan but we need to add some more parts and acts while you are doing the song because it's boring to just watch 5 people doing a trapeze act."
"You could have Tai and Matt act like clowns." I joked, I ran as Tai chased me around the stage. Approaching the vaulting horse I got ready to mount. Jumping on the springboard I grabbed the handles, did a handstand, landed and stuck it.
"Now that's kind of stuff I'm talking about." Andy said applauding.
"So we need to do something that will attract the audiences attention?" Tai asked Andy. Andy nodded.
"I found some professional circus trainers that will teach you some neat and eye-catching moves that will attract attention." Andy said as 2 trainers came through the entrance.
"Hi. I'm Rachael and I'm the one who will teach the trapeze acts." The girl trainer replied. She had black hair, hazel eyes, and tan skin.
"Hi. I'm Joshua and I'm going to teach the circus routine." The boy trainer said. He had brown hair with flecks of blonde, brown eyes, and fair skin.
"So, when do we start the training?" Christina asked Andy eagerly. Andy smiled.
"How about now?" He said. Tai and Matt groaned as Christina and I cheered.
Rachael and I got off to a bad start. She decided to take me first to try and test my skills but I was too busy goofing off.
"Be more careful Alie. When you perform live in front of people there won't be much of the net there at all. Only certain areas are used for protection." Rachael said but I didn't listen.
"Don't worry Rachael I can land directly under the rope." I said still on the rope.
"Fine then big shot you just do that." She said.
"You shouldn't have said that." Tai said he, Josh and Matt had come to watch.
"She can't do it."
"You'd be surprised with what she can do."
I took my bandana and blind folded myself. Standing up as strait as I could I back flipped off the rope still land directly under it.
Getting off the net I took off my blindfold I looked a Rachael and said pointing at her, "Told you."
Rachael then decided she would teach Christina the moves instead of teaching me how to do it. Christina followed each and every move perfectly but she did have some mistakes here and there. Matt got scared when she almost fell but regained her balance.
"At least you follow my directions." Rachael said staring at me.
I rolled my eyes and went to my dressing room to practice for the next song. We usually do 2 or 3 songs a day.
Christina
I went to my dressing room and changed from my acrobat suit to the clothes I would be wearing for I've Had The Time Of My Life. The boys would be the ones who would do more of the dancing. But when we partner up and do some fancy dancing we do an equal amount. First we all sat down and practiced Alie and I both chose this song I had gotten the idea at a dance off that I had gone to with Tai, Alie, and Matt when Tai and Alie were still going out.
"Okay, what's going to happen is that you will have dancers right behind you right before you end the song. It's up to you if when you partner up with each other or with each other." Andy said.
"It's really up to Alie and Christina." Matt said.
"Well if we dance with other people we have to teach them the dance and it's pretty complicated, but if we do it together then we don't have to teach it and it wont take so much time." Alie said.
"She's right." I said.
"Oh alright we won't have dancers. Have you decided who's gonna go with who yet?" Andy said.
"Well, I think Tai should go with Alie and Christina with me." Matt suggested.
"Matt's right. Alie and I had learned the dance together so we know each other's moves." Tai said. Alie nodded her head.
"Well now we got settled." Andy said. "Lets have you guys practice."
We got into position for the opening to the song. Matt and I were off on the sides while Tai and Alie were in middle, getting ready for the singing. Matt was on the right side of the stage and I was on the left.
When Tai started singing, I raised my head and slowly began to walk to the middle of the stage. After he was done, Alie sang her part and Matt did the same as I did. After the chorus was done, Matt and I quickly ran to the center and started our little dance. After we were done Andy applauded and came out.
"Where did you learn that?" he asked.
"We learned it from a teacher because we had to do it for a school concert." Alie said.
"The last time we had used it was when we were at a dance off that we had gone to." I said.
"Well I think you guys have had enough practice for today so just head home and enjoy your weekend." Andy said.
I changed my clothes and headed to my Dodge Durango. Matt was already inside by the time I opened my door.
"Tai told me we are going to go to the Digital World this weekend with the others." Matt said as we backed out of the parking lot. "I also helped planned it."
"Oh brother. With the 2 of you planning it it's going to be nuts." I laughed. Matt rolled his eyes and turned up the volume on the stereo.
"And here's the Phoenix's new song from their CD What's going on!" the radio DJ said. We both laughed as we listened to Tai rap.
"I can't believe we made him do that." I said chuckling.
"I know, it's really creepy." Matt said then whispered, "We need to get Alie and Tai back together." I stared back at him.
"You're nuts." I said.
"I know it may sound nuts but they are meant for each other." Matt said.
"You may have a point there but still even if I'm in this, it's nuts." I said. Matt gave me the puppy eyes. I started laughing then I said, " I hope Alie ain't listening to our little conversation."
'Can you 2 hurry it up? Tai and I are waiting for you.' Alie thought.
'We'll be there in a second. Traffic's bad.' I said.
'Actually it sucks.' Matt said. I gave him a slap on the head.
'Well just hurry up. We're board here.' Alie thought.
'I'm surprised you two aren't kissing.' Matt thought.
'Christina please hit him for me.' She thought. I hit him up side the head. 'We're just friends now Matt remember.'
'Oh yah.'
'See you guys later.'
'Bye.' We thought simultaneously.
Matt leaned over and put his head on my shoulders. I looked at him and smiled then looked back to the road.
Chapter 2
Alie
"Where are they?" Jake asked walking back and forth on the floor.
We were at my house waiting for Christina, my sister, and her boyfriend to come home.
"They'll be here, don't worry." Katie said, fiddling with her braids.
"I can't stop worrying. She's my cousin." Jake said.
"She's also my sister." I said. "And I'm not worried about her, she's safe with Matt. Well, sort of."
Everyone started laughing, including Jake. It has been almost an hour since we left rehearsal and still they're not here. All right, I'm a little worried.
'Where are you 2?' Tai thought.
'We're pulling up in the driveway.' Matt thought.
'Finally, it's about time.' I thought.
'Traffic was bad but we were able to get through it.' Christina thought.
I heard a slam of 2 doors and footsteps walking up to the door. I walked over to the door and opened it. Christina and Matt walked in and I shut the door.
"They're here!" I shouted to the others. Jake rushed over and hugged Christina.
"You're here! I was so worried about you!" Jake said.
"I thought you were. Now would you please let me go so that I can breathe?" Christina asked.
As Matt headed in, I read his thoughts and whapped him up side his head.
'Don't even think about it Matt.' I thought.
'Well, you still have feelings for him don't you?' Matt asked.
'Of course I do, he's my friend.'
'Quit lying to your heart. You still love him, I know it.'
Again, I whapped him up side his head. Matt looked at me then joined Christina on the love seat. I thought about what Matt had said. Do I still have those feelings for Tai? I don't know. My mind says he's my friend like the good old days, but my heart has no clue. I sat down on the couch, not knowing Tai was there. I jumped up and looked behind me.
"Sorry Tai." I said laughing.
"That's okay." He said.
"I didn't know you were there."
"Like I said it's okay."
I walked over to my computer and started to get the gate up.
Tai
I smiled as I looked at Alie then I shook my head, 'She's my friend I don't have feelings for her.'
'Yes you do.' Matt thought.
'Stop messing with my thoughts Matt.'
'What? You still have those same feelings for her as you did before you 2 broke up. I have a strong feeling you 2 still love each other.'
'Matt, in the words of Alie, you're nuts.'
'I won't stop believing that you still have feelings for her.'
'Matt, shut up.' Alie thought.
'You listened to the conversation, didn't you?' I thought.
'I came in when Matt said that we still love each other, which is not true.'
'Of course it is.'
'No Matt, it isn't true.'
'Stop believing that you 2 don't still love each other. Stop denying it!'
'Christina, tell your boyfriend to stop please?' Alie thought.
'Stop what? I wasn't listening to the conversation.' Christina thought.
'Your boyfriend thinks Tai and I still love each other.'
'Oh, that theory. Matt wanted me to help him in getting you guys together and I didn't agree to help him but I do believe he is right in a way.'
'Okay since I haven't been doing anything to Jake I have a lot of new pranks.' Alie thought.
'Oh god Alie.' Christina thought.
'I was just kidding.'
'I'll just stay out of this conversation since it doesn't involve me.'
'No wait.' Matt thought but he was a little too late. 'Man, I was going to tell her something too.'
'What were you going to tell her?' I thought.
'Out of all the people you should know what I mean Tai. I was about to tell her my feelings for her.'
'But I thought you told her.'
'No, I didn't tell her everything.'
'Oh.'
'What didn't you tell her?' Alie thought.
'I haven't told her about how I first felt when I first met her.'
(Flashback)
"Hey Matt, we found an opening act for us." One of his band members shouted to him.
"Okay, bring them in." Matt shouted back.
2 girls came through the curtain and went up to Matt.
"Matt? Is that you?" asked one of them.
"Alie?" He asked.
"Yeah, it's me." Alie said as Matt hugged her.
"I didn't know that you had a band of your own." Matt said amazed, "And who's this nice good-looking lady you have with you?"
"My name is Christina Pitcher and I'm from Phoenix, Arizona. I'm one of Alie's friends."
Matt was about to say something but he was mesmerized by Christina's looks. She had shoulder-length light brown hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and pretty slim. She had to be about 5'6" tall.
"Matt? Matt?" Alie said, whapping him upside his head.
"Sorry, I'm Matt Ishida." He said shaking Christina's hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Matt." Christina said smiling.
Matt just stared at her some more. 'God she's beautiful. Am I falling in love with a girl I just first met?'
Alie looked at Matt for a sec then shook her head, "So can we audition now or what?"
"Oh yeah sure." He said and he went and sat down.
Christina and Alie stood in the center of the stage and just started singing together.
We never have gotten along before,
Always shouting and trading the blame,
Insult after insult,
Fight after fight,
Complaints and compromises that never seemed to help,
But now…
Together we stand now and forever,
It's true divided we'll fall,
Our past is behind us & now we're to be the all-American family.
We've fought a lot,
We've seen so much shame,
When we spill the blood of another,
Tears are shed for the dead,
Not for the killer
But now…
Chorus
We have our problems doesn't everyone?
Why should we be cruel to another?
After all we're just one family.
Chorus
Singing God bless America from sea to shining sea,
We are all linked together by our right to be free.
Chorus
Matt clapped as Alie and Christina bowed.
"Amazing but can you do another song?"
"Sure, no problem." Christina said.
"Christmas or regular?" Alie asked.
"Hmm… how about regular?"
"Okay."
"Phoenix tears or why are you so lonely?" Christina asked.
"Uh, Phoenix tears sounds nice." Matt said.
"Okay, phoenix tears it is." Alie said.
I have been thinking of what I could do
To get away from life
But you were there to catch me when I fell
I know you always loved
But last night I saw you crying
Coz your girl has grown up
Phoenix tears, butterfly kisses
That's all I could say
I just wish there was a way to tell you
That I love you
And only you
Please don't cry
It makes me hurt inside to see you cry
I know you're hurting
Oh boy, what can I do
To heal you of all this pain
Please let me know
Chorus
Why did you run away from me?
What was wrong?
Please let me hold you and wipe those tears away
I love you so much I can't let go of you
You can tell me what is troubling you
Coz I am here for you always
Chorus
"That was great!" he shouted.
"So do we go the part?" Alie asked.
"Definitely."
On the way out Matt ran up to Alie and wanted to talk to her.
"What is it Matt? I gotta get going." She asked him.
"Can you fix me up with your friend?" Matt asked.
"No way Matt." She said.
"Why?"
"Because you'll scare her off back to the states and any ways it would be really weird."
"How?"
"My two best friends dating. That's just plain creepy."
"Okay."
"I tell you what if you can get her to go with out with you on your own I will agree cause she'll like you."
"Fine with me."
"Good luck. Oh and by the way she can tell if some ones a creep right away, oh and she says you're cute. See you later."
"Bye!"
(Back to our time)
"I got the port up." Alie said.
I got up and stretched and stood next to Alie and held up my digivice as she held up her D3 and shouted, "Digiport open." The gate opened up and we all were sucked into the Digital World.
"Ow!" shouted Jake, who landed in a thorn bush.
"Sorry Jake." Alie said laughing.
"Next time pick a coordinate that's softer." He said.
"Like the beach?"
"Yeah."
"If it was there some one might have ended up in the water."
I helped him up. We waited for him to finish taking out the thorns. We got going and I noticed Alie looking around. I knew what she was looking for. For about 20 minutes I was arguing with Matt about Alie and I.
'No and for the last time no I do not have a crush on Alie.' I thought.
'Are you sure?' Matt thought.
'Matt, shut up, you're annoying.' Alie thought.
'Really annoying.' I thought.
As we argued, everyone else was quiet. No one heard us maybe except for Christina. If she was listening, she's doing a good job of not saying anything to stop us from arguing. Or that's what I thought…
'Will you guys please shut up?' Christina thought.
Then we all shut up. I never thought she could do that. Matt was blushing.
"Uh, I'm going to take a walk you guys." Alie said as she walked off.
We walked some more and stopped at this one site some of us thought was beautiful. It had a waterfall that must've been about 50 feet up.
'Good thing I brought my swimsuit.' Christina and Alie thought.
'Bikini?' Matt thought to them.
'No! I don't know about Christina but I have a one piece.' Alie thought.
'Just wait and see Matt.' Christina thought.
We all got our swimsuits on and swam in the pool the waterfall made for us. Alie, Christina, Matt and I went to the top of the waterfall to jump. The others cleared the pool and decided to watch. To Matt's disappointment, Christina had a one piece.
"I'll jump first." Christina said. She stepped up to the edge of the waterfall.
"Don't do it." Matt shouted.
"Don't worry Matt, I'll be fine." Christina said to Matt.
Before she could jump, Alie ran forward and did a cannonball all the way down.
"Come one you guys, that was fun!" Alie shouted.
"See you down there!" Christina shouted as she jumped off and did some tricks before she splashed into the pool.
"Wow! What a rush!" Christina shouted.
By the time Matt was gone Alie had climbed back up.
"Man the view is great." She said.
"Yah it is."
Alie lied about her swimsuit. She was wearing the swimsuit that she had gotten in Hawaii it was a two piece it had shorts and the top had a tie around the bottom and the top at the neck line.
"Go ahead and jump." She said.
"Nah I'm going to enjoy the view." He said.
"Same here."
Looking over the edge I saw Matt dunk Christina and she got him back. Looking over at Alie she was sitting on a large bolder I went over and joined her.
Matt
I looked up and saw Tai sitting next to Alie. I mentally wolf whistled.
'Shut up Matt.' Alie thought. I heard Christina laughing.
'Matt stop it, you're killing me.' She thought laughing mentally.
'No I'm not.' I thought to Christina.
'Yes you are.' Christina thought.
Then Christina got up and climbed up the waterfall. She stuck her feet over the waterfall as Tai and Alie jumped over the waterfall together. I quickly got out and watched those 2 land in the pool. I climbed up the waterfall and joined Christina.
"How did Alie get Tai down?" I asked Christina.
"She jumped with him. Alie convinced Tai that she would go down with him." Christina said. I leaned over and gave Christina a kiss on the cheek. She looked at me and went back to gazing at the sunset.
"We got to find away to get them back together." I said.
"Don't start that again." She said.
"What? They are right for each other. You and I are Tai and Alie's best friends aren't we?" Christina nodded. "You know they are right for each other."
"Look Matt, let's just let them find out they need to be together again. We have got to let things happen the way they are supposed to happen."
"You're right. I guess I was getting pushy." Christina gave me a pat on the back and then gave me a kiss on the lips.
"I knew you would see that you're pushing things too fast." Christina said as she yet again kissed me, this time longer.
My tongue pried open her mouth and her tongue went in mine. Before you know it, I was on top of her and we stayed that way. I stopped to breathe when Christina said, "You know Matt, Tai and Alie could be heading up any minute."
"Good point." I said as I got off her and helped her up. "Oh and sorry about that, my hormones took over."
"That's okay Matt, you're a guy and when you meet a girl… you know." Christina said, chuckling lightly.
"Hey you guys!" Alie shouted.
"Yah?" Matt asked.
"Everyone down here says we should stay here you guys agree?"
"Yah!" we both shouted.
"How about you guys come on down, some of the group was beginning to worry something was wrong." Tai shouted.
"Okay, we're coming down!" I shouted. I jumped down first and I didn't see Christina come down.
"Christina?" I shouted.
"You forgot about your tent!" She shouted.
"Oh, I never knew that." I said, "Throw down the bag is water proof."
It came soaring down and landed in the water I took it out and watched as Christina came soaring down after it. Alie went and got the fire wood and Tai went with him the reason why was so he could make sure she was safe cause I had found out from him awhile ago.
"Oh man." Christina said.
"What?" I asked.
"I forgot my tent."
"You can stay in mine."
"I have to all the other tents are full."
I smiled. "You must behave." she said.
"Fine." I replied.
Alie came back with Tai and they both had their arms full of wood. After setting up the fire Alie climbed the waterfall once more apparently she had her swimsuit on underneath her sweatshirt, after awhile Tai followed throwing off his sweatshirt. Alie dived into the water and said that it was still warm Tai jumped on in and agreed we watched as Alie dove under the waterfall. Tai got out and set up his and Alie's tent.
"Why are you setting up Alie's tent?" I asked him.
"She asked me to." He said.
"Where did she go anyway?"
"She thought she saw some thing behind the waterfall."
"Do you know what?"
"Nope."
Chapter 3
Alie
I stood up knowing I had gotten on the other side of the falls. When I had jumped off the falls I had seen a light shining through the water, so I decided to check it out. I stood up, took my flashlight out of a waterproof pouch and turned it on and headed deeper into the cave. Getting far enough I saw the light it was dimmer but I could still see pretty well with out my flashlight and I shut it off.
Approaching the light I saw that it was a crystal. Now that I was in the light I could see my crest responding to it and so was my medallion. The day after my fight with Tai my medallion wasn't responding like usual it was because my medallion responded to love and being mad at Tai it wasn't working to well.
I picked up the crystal and I warmed my body that's when I had realized that I had cut my leg. I put the crystal against the cut then I put my hand over it. Then my cut was healed that was really weird I put it in the waterproof pouch that I had brought my flash light in and headed out once again I dived under the falls and headed back to shore. Stepping on shore I saw that there were only three tents by the water. The others had put there's further into the forest. Matt and Christina were now in shorts and fleece sweatshirts and Tai was in sweat pants and a hooded gray sweat shirt. He came up to me handed me my towel and asked, "What did you find?"
I showed him the crystal and then I put my finger up to my lips. Walking back over to where the fire was I saw that Matt had his arm around Christina and she had her head on his shoulder. It reminded me of Tai and I. I shook my head and thought to my self, 'That's behind me now.'
I headed into my tent and changed into a pair of sweats like Tai's actually it was exactly like his except there were pony beads on the pull strings for the hood. Heading out Matt looked from me to Tai, "Don't say a word Matt." I said.
"What I was just wondering if you guys had planned that?" he asked.
"No way, I just felt like packing my sweatpants and shirt." Tai said.
"Same here." I agreed, "Uh Christina?"
"Yah Alie?" She asked.
"Where's your tent?"
"I forgot it so I'm staying in Matt's, don't worry I know I can trust him, I hope."
"Oh yah!" he said and he chased her al over the beach, Tai and I were just sitting down, him on a log and me on a rock and watched them, Matt finally pinned Christina and kissed her. It hurt too much to watch so I headed back into my tent and grabbed the pouch that had the crystal in it I took it out and studied it. I took out necklace rope with a holder for a crystal. I put the crystal against the holder and it fused with it and it looked like the one from the movie "Atlantis: The Lost Empire." The one that Kida wore.
Tai
I headed into my tent the same time as Alie had gone into hers. It hurt to watch Matt and Christina kiss, it reminding me of the two of us. I still remember when I had first kissed Alie on the cheek when she had discovered her power over weather.
I unzipped my window and looked at Alie's tent I could make out her figure cause of the crystal. I watched as she put the crystal down the front of her sweatshirt, she had a t-shirt underneath.
'I wish those two would get a room.' I thought to Alie.
'Same here.' She answered back.
'I'm glad that we're still friends.' I thought.
'Me to, I don't know what I would have done without your friendship.'
'No wonder I have the medallion of friendship.'
'Hey Tai?'
'Yah Alie?'
'Can I show you something?'
'Sure do you want me to go to your tent or you in mine?'
'You come over here.'
I unzipped my tent and headed out Matt and Christina had gone some where else. I headed into Alie's tent and she patted her sleeping bag. Sitting down on it I bounced apparently she had an air mattress with her. I watched as she took out the crystal. Then she told me to show her my cut on my chest. I took off my shirt and took off the bandage. It started to bleed again I had gotten it when she had left to find the crystal.
She touched the crystal against it and took it away then she put her hand over it and it started to heal. "That's pretty cool Alie." I said.
"Yah it is." She agreed putting the crystal back down her shirt.
"Thanks." I said holding out my hand. Instead to my surprise she gave me a hug, I could tell it was between friends, her hands were freezing though.
She let go and mumbled, "Sorry."
"It's okay." I said.
"Hey even though I don't have those old feelings for you, I still don't want to see you or any of my friends get hurt."
"Thanks."
She started to laugh, "What?" I asked.
"You forgot to put your shirt back on." She said holding it out
"Sorry." I said, taking my shirt from her, I to started to laugh and I put my shirt back on
"It's okay you would probably forget your head if I wasn't around."
"Good point."
We started laughing; it was good to be laughing again. I was glad to have Alie as my friend I just wish I could choose what my feelings were.
"Hey Alie your hands are freezing, maybe we should head out to the fire so you can warm them up." I said.
"Good idea Tai." She said.
We headed out and sat by the fire we were both on opposite sides. We were just talking and laughing like old times. About ten minutes later Matt and Christina came back.
"Where did you two go to?" Alie asked them.
"We went for a walk and you?" Matt asked.
"Talking and laughing." I said.
"Any kissing?"
"No!" Alie said, running up to him and tackling him.
"Say Uncle." I said.
"No." he said Alie twisted his arm behind his back, "Okay Uncle!"
Alie let go and helped him up. He and Christina sat down where Alie was sitting she walked past and sat down on the rock. I looked over Matt and Christina's heads I could see the waterfall and the pool of water. The moon was reflecting off it. I looked at the others, Matt had his arm around Christina and she had her head on his shoulder like before. Alie was sitting cross-legged on the rock and was looking at the waterfall. I stared back into the fire I started to slouch a little and I fell asleep.
Alie
I sighed as I looked over at Tai who had fallen asleep.
"Hey Matt can you help me carry him back to his tent?" I asked Matt.
He just shook his head. I sighed once more and lifted him up with telepathy. I went over to his tent and unzipped it and floated him in and laid him down on his sleeping bag. I zipped the door back up again and returned back to the fire.
"How is it he can fall asleep in any position?" Christina asked.
"Well he's been able to sleep on a gray hound, a school bus, on a boat, an airplane, in a tree, a couch, a love seat, a chair, a rock, a log, against a wall, standing up, in a cave. Hmm any other place I'm missing Matt?" I said.
"Well let's see, there's also the floor, a car, a truck, sitting, slouching. Technically he can sleep any where and in any position."
"Well I'm going to go to sleep." Christina said.
"Night." I said.
Matt didn't say anything he just stared at her as she went in his tent. I went over to him and waved my hand in front of his face. I rolled my eyes and hit him on his head. "Wha…"
"You do love her don't you?" I asked.
"Of coarse." He said.
"So are you gonna ask her to marry you?"
"Well probably after senior year."
"No won't work."
"Why?"
"Because she wants to go to college, and any ways don't you want to go to?"
"Yah I do."
"Well then there's your answer."
"What about you?"
"I'm going to college of coarse."
"Tai?"
"No clue actually."
"I'm going to go to bed."
"Night."
"Night."
I watched as he headed into his tent. I stayed out side for about 20 more minutes before I extinguished the fire. As I headed into my tent I saw Falconmon asleep in a tree. I headed into my tent and saw Gatomon and Tsnumon. I gave a little chuckle and attempted to fall asleep, but I couldn't and I didn't know why.
"Why can't I fall asleep?" I whispered to myself.
I sat and thought but I couldn't think of anything, why can't I fall asleep, why? I thought about it again and again. Laying down I found myself staring the way of Tai's tent. I turned and faced the ceiling. I wished I knew why I couldn't fall asleep. That's when I decided to talk to one of my friends.
'Christina?' I asked her, no answer.
'Matt?' I asked him, no answer.
'Tai?' I asked, no answer.
This was the first time none of my friends were there to help me out. That's when I realized that this was one of my worst fears being alone. I wanted one of my friends to help but no one was there. I put on my headphones and listened to some music, but nothing helped. I reached over and stroked Gatomon's fur. I could here her purr softly. It started to relax me. That's when I felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck and I fell right to sleep.
Christina
That morning the three of us were waiting for Alie to wake up. I was starting to get worried I knew not to wake her up and just to let her wake up on her own.
"Maybe one of us should go check on her." I said afraid of what I might find.
"I'll go." Tai said.
He was in the tent for about 5 minutes then he came out. He was as white as a ghost.
"What's wrong?" Matt asked.
"She's ill." He said.
"So not much to be worried about." I said.
"No, no, no you don't under stand, she about as white as Gatomon's fur and she's hot to the touch. I'm going to go find Joe." He said, and he ran off into the woods.
I went into Alie's tent, it was extremely warm in there so I unzipped the windows. Alie's lips were the same color as her skin and she was hot to the touch. Matt came in and looked at her.
"The prophecy." He whispered.
I nodded my head I understood what he was saying. Joe came in and started to check over her. "Where's Tai?" I asked.
"He outside he didn't want to see her like this, he said that he didn't want to see his best friend ill." Joe said, checking Alie's pulse.
I headed outside and saw Tai sitting on the rock that Alie was sitting on last night. He had his face in his hands I could have sworn that he was crying. I went over to him and put my arm around him for comfort.
"You okay Tai?" I asked him.
"Yah it's just that I don't want to see Alie ill." He said wiping his tears away.
"I know what you mean, this is the worst sickness that I've seen. Same for the rest of us."
"The prophecy is starting to come true."
"Yah it is but if Joe can find away to heal Alie the it won't."
That's when Joe came out of Alie's tent and Matt followed. I went over to talk to him as Tai went to go see Alie.
"So what's the diagnoses?" I asked him worried.
"Well she pretty ill but I've never seen this in a text book."
"Me either."
Tai
I went into Alie's tent she looked pretty pail. I took out my bandana and took some water out of her water bottle and pored it on to the bandana and laid it on her forehead.
"Tai?" I heard her ask.
"Shh, you need to save your strength." I said.
"What's going on?" she asked as she struggled to sit up, I helped her up and handed her, her water bottle. She took a swig.
"Your sick and everyone's worried about you." I said.
"I didn't know."
"Do you remember anything that might have gotten you sick?"
"I remember I was petting Gatomon when I felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck."
"Do you remember what it was?"
"No I don't."
I watched as she lay back down, close her eyes and fall asleep. I noticed that she had hair in front of her face, I reached over and brushed it out of her face, but instead of taking my fingers out I just kept running them threw her soft hair. I took my fingers out and then thought 'What am I doing? We're just friends.'
I got out side and went for a walk to clear my head. I found myself climbing the waterfall and sitting on a boulder looking out at the view. From where I was sitting I could see the tops of the buildings at the primary village. Looking up and to the left I could see the top of Infinity Mountain. What was odd was that there were lights on inside the castle on top. It was a little creepy to tell the truth. I headed back down the falls to tell the others about the lights.
"Are you sure?" Christina asked. I had just told them about the lights on inside the castle. While I was gone Matt and Christina had carried Alie outside.
"Yah I am sure I saw the lights. Hey Christina can you think of what to do?"
"Yah of coarse." She said.
As she, Matt and Joe thought of an idea. I went over and talked to Alie. I asked if she had tried her crystal and she said she had but it didn't work. After awhile the others came and helped plan and spoke with Alie, I didn't go and help with the plan I just stayed and watched over Alie. We finally had a plan, Matt and I supported Alie since she couldn't walk, that's when, "Wait a sec guys." Christina said.
"What is it Christina?" I asked.
"Alie has a faster way." She said.
Alie nodded and she typed in a code and told us to stand in a circle and hold hands after we had she gave a few warnings.
"Don't let go because I don't know where you'll end up." She said then she shouted, "Digi-transport the top of Infinity Mountain."
We felt the rush and we landed in front of the castle. "I know this place." Alie said.
"Of coarse you do, we've been here before." Davis said.
"No I mean before that, about ten thousand years ago I lived here."
"Are you sure Alie?" I asked her.
"Yah I am."
"That's weird." Matt said.
"I think I can walk on my own now guys." She said the weird thing is, is that she was glowing. She pushed off she was a little weak and she had to use a few things to keep her up but she made it to the door. I watched as she put her crest in a hole that was the same shape and put her medallion in the other.
The doors opened and there was a light that surrounded all the other Legendary Digidestined. When we headed inside the light surrounded every one else and Alie seemed to be regaining her strength. After heading through the second pair of doors our clothing changed we looked like we were from the past.
"One things for sure it's a good thing that we don't have to wear our crowns." Jake said.
"Speak for your self." Alie said back to full strength looking over at her we saw that she had a tiara on her head and she looked like she was uncomfortable actually everyone was.
"Why do you have to wear one and not us?" John asked.
"Easy it's because we're in my old family's home. All I know is that if Miotismon or Piedmon ruined anything in here I will seriously hurt them if we ever face them again."
"Alie you regained your strength." I said.
"Yah I don't know why I just did."
"Is anyone else getting some kind of memory back?" Christina asked rubbing her forehead.
"Yah I am." Alie said.
We headed further into the castle that's when we entered what looked like a Great Hall there were 19 chairs in a circle. We all sat down in a chair that was designated for our selves my chair had an imprint of fire and my crest on it. Alie had the hardest time finding hers because there was nothing on her chair except for the silver back and cousins. Looking at the set up it went Alie, myself, Matt, Christina, Joe, Sora, Mimi, Izzy, Kari, T.K, Jake, Katie, John, Amanda, Brian, Ken, Davis, Yolei, and Cody. Why did who ever set these chairs up put me next to Alie? Sitting down none of us knew what was going to happen, and then I regained my memories from the past. One of the memories shocked me immensely I looked over at Alie the same memory must have come back to her to.
"What's going on?" Cody asked.
"We're regaining our memories." Christina said.
"She's right, some of them are really weird, hey Alie can I talk to you?" I asked.
"Sure." She said and we headed into a separate room.
'No kissing you two.' Matt thought.
'Can you please hit him Christina?' I asked her.
'No problem Tai.' She thought.
Then through the door we heard Matt shout, "Ouch not so hard!"
We started laughing finally able to stop I asked Alie, "Did you get that one memory about us."
"Yah it's true to."
"We were stuck in an arranged marriage?"
"Yah, it was first arranged that we were to be married on my 21st birthday to strengthen the bond between the real and digital world when we were about 2. We forgot about it then when we were about 12 they had renounced it we were really worried. We were great friends and we weren't to thrilled about it. When we were about 16 we had fallen in love like in this reality, but I was twenty and it was three months before my birthday and the wedding we were transported to our time. Because Malomiotismon, Piedmon, Daemon and their supporters were going to attack and we were forewarned so they could transport us kids to the future. You and I were devastated. I had given you a necklace and that ring that I chucked at your forehead after the fight was the one you had given to me."
"No wonder I didn't recognize it." I said.
"So at least we both remember most of it."
"Yah."
We sat there for a while not talking looking at each other then slowly we got closer and closer till we kissed.
Chapter 4
Christina
'I wonder what they're doing in there?' I thought to Matt.
'I have no clue.' Matt thought back.
Looking around the others were sitting on the floor and on there chairs and some people were in other peoples chairs the best part was that Alie must have found away to make it so that we were in our original clothing instead of the dresses and tuxes. After awhile Tai and Alie came out. Alie had an odd expression on her face and so did Tai but they changed it as soon as the others good see them better so they changed there expression back to normal.
'What's wrong Alie?'
'Hold on a sec.'
'Sure.'
'Hey Matt?' I heard her think.
'Yah?' he asked.
'Christina and I are going to have a private conversation so please you and Tai need to not listen.'
'Okay.' Tai thought.
'Okay.' Matt thought.
'So what is it?' I asked her.
'He… We kissed.'
'You did?'
'Yah we were talking about a past memory and we were looking at each other after and then we kissed.'
'You kissed?'
'Yah, it just happened. For awhile I thought that it was just like the days when we were going out but then I remembered that we were friends.'
'Did you or Tai pull apart first?'
'Same time.'
'Scary.'
'Yah very, what's weird is that my head says that he's my best friend and my heart has no clue so at the moment I am completely confused.'
'Do you have any idea.'
'Yah I think I might be starting to fall in love with him again.'
'Really?'
'Yah one of my fears is to be alone so having Tai around is great. I'm actually glad when we kissed it brought back all those memories, and I think it did the same thing to Tai.
'I'll go talk to him if you want me to.'
'Thanks I just want to know if he feels the same as me.'
'No problem hey how bout after I find out and tell you we practice one of the songs?'
'That would be great.'
I went over to Tai and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Can I talk to you Tai?" I asked him.
"Sure." He said.
"What about me?" Matt asked.
"Go talk to Alie."
"Okay." He said and he got up and plopped down on the floor in front of Alie and the two of them started laughing and talking.
Tai lead me into a room. Apparently he didn't want Alie to hear.
"Alie told me that you two kissed." I said.
"Yah we did."
"So how do you feel about it?"
"It reminded me of when we were still dating and brought back a lot of old memories and it made me feel whole again for some odd reason."
"So what feelings do have for her?"
"I think I might be falling in love with her again but please don't tell her."
"Okay."
"You promise?"
"I promise Tai you can trust me. So let's head back with the others."
"Sure."
We headed back out side I went over to Alie, "So?" she asked.
I whispered into her ear, "I promised him I wouldn't tell you."
I sat down and Alie glared at me and then the two of us started to laugh.
Matt went over to Alie and asked her, "How do you feel about Tai?"
She whispered in his ear, "I think I'm starting to fall in love with him again but don't tell Tai."
Matt smiled went over to Tai and Alie wasn't looking told Tai, Tai's eyes grew wide.
"Hey you guys we're going to practice one of our songs." Alie shouted, we all headed over and sat on the steps that were in there it went Tai, Alie, myself, and Matt.
Everyone was in their sleeping bags and watching us. Looking at the time it was 11:00 p.m. I thought to the others three, 'Lets do something slow.'
'Good idea.' Alie thought.
'But which song?' Matt asked.
'I've got one, and don't worry we've done it before.'
Alie started and we realized which one it was.
I never thought that I would lose my mind,
That I could control this,
Never thought that I'd be left behind,
That I was stronger than you, baby,
Girl if only I knew what I've done,
You know, so why don't you tell me,
And I, I would bring down the moon and the sun,
To show how much I care.
Chorus:
Don't wanna lose you now,
Baby, I know we can win this,
Don't wanna lose you now,
No, no, or ever again.
I've got this feeling you're not going to stay,
It's burning within me,
The fear of losing,
Of slipping away,
It just keeps getting closer, baby,
Whatever reason to leave that I've had,
My place is always beside you,
And I wish that I didn't need you so bad,
Your face just won't go away.
Chorus
Don't wanna lose you now
I never thought that I would lose my mind,
That I could control this, yeah,
Never thought that I'd be left behind,
That I was stronger that you.
Ooh
Don't want to lose to loneliness,
Girl I know we can win,
Don't want to lose to emptiness, oh no,
Never again.
Chorus (repeat)
After we finished the four of us looked around Cody, Ken, Yolei, Davis and all of the Legendary Digidestined had fallen asleep. The first digidestined, Tai, Alie, Matt and myself were the only ones left awake, well T.K and Kari were close to falling asleep. I elbowed Matt and Alie in the gut and nodded my head towards them; Alie nudged Tai and did the same. All of us saw that they were holding hands all of us heard Alie think, 'They like each other and they made a pretty cute couple.'
I nodded then Alie thought again, 'Davis is going to be depressed if they start going out.'
'Why?' Tai asked.
'Davis has a crush on Kari.' I thought.
'He does?'
'Yah you didn't notice?'
'No.'
'It's a little obvious.'
'Good point.'
'We should do another song everyone looks tired.' Matt thought.
'Good idea but which one?'
'Back to your heart?' Alie thought.
'Good idea.'
We relaxed a little bit and began.
It's not that I can't live without you,
It's just that I don't even want to try,
Every night I dream about you,
Ever since the day we said goodbye,
If I wasn't such a fool,
Right now I'd be holding you
There's nothin' that I wouldn't do,
Baby if I only knew
Chorus:
The words to say,
The road to take,
To find away back to your heart,
What can I do,
To get to you,
And find a way back to your heart.
I don't know how it got so crazy,
But I'll do anything to set things right,
'Cause your love is so amazing,
Baby you're the best thing in my life,
Let me prove my love is real,
And made you feel the way I feel,
I promise I would give the world,
If you would only tell me girl
Chorus
Give me one more chance, to give my love to you,
'Cause no one on this earth loves you like I do, tell me
Chorus
I turn back time,
To make you mine,
And find a way back to your heart,
I beg and plead,
Fall to my knees,
To find a way back to your heart
Chorus
Back to your heart.
Looking around everyone had fallen asleep. It looked like a good idea, I moved over a little put my head on Matt's shoulder and fell asleep.
Alie
I looked over at Christina who had fallen asleep I nudged Tai and pointed over at the two of them, I gave a small chuckle stood up and stretched. I walked around the room I went over to Davis and knelt down and took off his goggles I set them next to his pillow. I stood up and walked over to Yolei and took off her glasses and took off Joe's to the two of them both fell asleep with their glasses on.
I stopped by everyone some people had books open or in Izzy's case his laptop was open and on. After making sure that everyone was okay I headed over to Christina, Matt and Tai. Matt had fallen asleep also he had his head on Christina's and he had his arm around her. I unzipped his sleeping bag completely and covered both of them with it.
Apparently Tai was watching me when I was walking around I grabbed my sleeping bag and spread it out after that I headed out side the sky was clear. I sat down and leaned against the wall I looked up at the sky it was so clear. I still had my strength because I was leaning against the castle and I was sitting on its steps. I heard a noise looking over at the door I saw Tai coming out.
"Hey Tai." I said.
"Hey Alie." He said and sat down next to me.
We sat there in silence for a while then, "I'm sorry about that kiss." he said.
"It wasn't your fault it just happened." I said.
"The kiss brought a lot of old memories back."
"I know what you mean the one I remember the most was when you kissed me on the cheek for the first time."
"I remember that, I also remember you backing me up into some trees and telling me never to do that again."
"Same here."
"Ow." I said moving my arm.
"You okay?" Tai asked me.
"Yah, my shoulders are sore from my pack apparently the pain didn't kick in till now." I said.
"Here I'll message them for you."
"Thanks." I said.
As he messaged my shoulders I put my head down. My back felt great when he was done. "Thanks Tai." I said.
"No problem." He said. He moved back over to where he was sitting and looked up at the skies I looked up to. You could see a lot more constellations here.
After awhile I headed inside and laid down on my sleeping bag. I flopped over on to my stomach. I looked around and saw a figure in the corner it thought to me mentally, 'Ah the Angel of Faith you are truly beautiful along with the Angel of Caring you will be the first to go then it will be her.'
I sat up and thought to it, 'What do you want?'
'To destroy you and the ones like you.'
'Shut up and leave me alone. Oh and before you go I just want to warn you if you hurt any of my friends I will comeback and hurt you.'
I couldn't tell but he looked scared he disappeared as Tai came through the door. I smiled as he passed me so he wouldn't suspect a thing. He came over with his sleeping bag and set it down next to me. "Just like when we were little." He whispered.
"Yeah it is I remember you, Matt, Kari T.K and I sleeping in my back yard when we were about 11." I whispered the two of us were the only two still awake.
"I remember Matt I think it was who dared you to kiss me when we were playing truth or dare." I whispered
"I remember that. You and I looked at each other then we dog piled Matt we both punched him in the arm twice."
"I remember that part."
"I actually regret not kissing you."
"Why?"
"In fifth grade I started to get a small crush on you."
"When did you start to fall in love with me?"
"Alright I'll tell you if you tell me."
"Fine, you first."
"Well I got a crush on you when we were in freshman year of high school."
"Same here."
"I don't know how it just happened."
"I remember how it happened for me, it had been a couple of years since I had seen you. I had just got back from the USA and when I saw you I thought that you had gotten pretty cute."
"Same here, pardon me for saying you had gotten hot."
I stared at him in shock then I smiled and laughed.
"I'm going to go to bed now, so I guess I'll see you in the morning."
"Night."
Tai
I watched as Alie fell asleep, "I can't believe I told her that." I said. I remembered what Matt had told me awhile ago about being able to go into their dreams so I tried. Arriving in her dream it was weird.
Looking around it looked familiar that's when I realized that I was in the Digi-world. All of a sudden I saw two people coming, it was Sora and I and we were lock at the arms. Then I saw Alie she was dressed in rags and was carrying food for the two of us. When she left I told Sora that I would be right back. I turned invisible and followed the dream me I found Alie sitting on a rock staring out into the open the dream me sat next to her and kissed her on the cheek, we put our arms around each other and I watched and listened. "I wish everything were back to normal." She said.
"I know but I still need to find out how she stool both of our powers." I said.
"She took all of my powers, the ability to levitate people, the control of weather, the power of heart, the power of the digital sword every thing even my digi-egg, my D3, and my terminal even my title of digital princess."
"I know she took my power of fire."
"My crest and the power of the gates were the only powers that she didn't take the worst thing was that she took you."
"I know I've missed you to."
Then we heard a crashing coming from the clearing turning around we saw Sora coming. "What are you doing with her?" she shouted making a storm produce.
"Sora you have gone to far, you're out of control you don't know how to control our powers." Alie shouted.
"Of course I do." She said she made her float up into the air and she began to hurt her.
"Stop it Sora!" I shouted.
"I thought you loved me Tai, I loved you but you were with her instead of me, I thought you had a thing for a girl with power so I took hers and yours so you couldn't fight back, so you would like me instead of her."
"I didn't like her for her powers, I loved her for her self you are just my friend, I went out with you so you wouldn't hurt my true love."
But she didn't stop she kept hurting her. All of a sudden Alie held on to her crest and concentrated on its power and Sora started to lose the powers and the two of us regained them. Alie went over to Sora and explained then left her there. Following them I found them kissing so I left
I arrived back in the regular Digi-world and looked at Alie. "How could she have had a dream like that." I asked myself.
Then I saw a figure in the shadows, he thought to me, 'Stay out of my way Fire and you wont get hurt, I'm after only the digital princess the first one to go is your love the Angel of Faith, then the Angel of Caring."'
'Don't even think about hurting her or Christina.' I thought. Al of a sudden he was gone I was starting to get worried about Alie. Looking at the time it was 1 o'clock in the morning I laid down on my sleeping bag and fell asleep.
Chapter 5
After last night I learned that what Matt had told me was right. At first I didn't believe him then I did after going into Alie's dream I knew that she was starting to fall in love with me again and I had fallen head-over-heals in love with her. That morning Alie said that we needed to get going everyone agreed even though al of us knew that she would get sick again.
About an hour later she got weak again we rested. All of us talked I told Alie and Christina that I knew about the figure. They said to say out of it so I did well sort of.
At about six we found a place to sleep it was a cave but it would work. Every so often Matt, Christina or I would go and see if anyone or anything was there. After awhile the others started to get suspicious.
"What are you guys doing?" Jake asked.
"I figured you guys wouldn't know about the prophecy." Alie said weakly.
"What prophecy?" Joe asked.
"I tell you guys about it."
"I'll do it Alie." I said, "you need to save your strength."
"No Tai I'll do it I'm fine."
"Okay."
"Here it is:
2 An evil unfaced before will track down the digital princess
Once she is destroyed, it will find and destroy the ones like her
One of the digital princes will then summon the spirit of one of the digital princesses
After it is destroyed, the lost ones will come back.
And that's what it is."
"That's not to bad we just need to find the digital princess and the digital prince." Davis said.
"Which one?" I asked.
"There's more than one?"
"Yah there are four princesses, and five princes."
"Who?"
"The princesses are Amanda, Kari, Alie, Christina, and Katie. The princes are Matt, Jake, John, Bryan, T.K, and myself."
"Who is the prophecy about I mean who's suppose to be killed first?"
"Me." Alie said weakly, "We don't know who the prince is who's suppose to bring one of us back though."
"I'm the second one to be killed." Christina said, Matt was the most one to be shocked.
"Now that I know about you being the second one to die, I'm sticking with you and I'm not leaving your side so you won't die." He said.
We all started to laugh with what he said even though he was serious. Looking over at Alie she was asleep and her breath was shallow. "Hey Joe do you think you could look over Alie again see if there's anything you can do for her." I asked him worried.
"Of coarse Tai." He said.
I went over and sat by the lake and just stared out into the open.
T.K
I looked around at everyone. Sora, Mimi, Katie, Amanda and Yolei were playing cards. Joe was checking over Alie. Christina and Matt were talking. Bryan, Jake and John were swimming. Izzy was doing searches on his computer. Davis was being an idiot and chasing Ken around who was faster than he was, a lot faster. Cody was helping Izzy out and Tai was sitting by the lake that was near by, and Kari and I well we were sitting on a rock holding hands, unknown to the others well maybe except for Alie, we had kissed, once. It had happened when she was driving to rehearsal and the others had invited us. (A/N: this was before Tai's and Alie's fight.)
She was paying attention to the road when it just happened we were talking and then the next thing I knew we were kissing, and Alie had seen. So Kari made her promise not to tell so she didn't. Of coarse Alie woke up to Joe checking her over and since she was too weak to push him away she let him finish.
"We should go talk to my brother." Kari said.
"Yah we should." I said.
We walked over and sat down on either side of him.
"Are you okay?" Kari asked him.
"I'm worried about Alie."
"We all are Tai." I said.
"No I mean I'm really worried about her, I love her." While he said this he had tears in his eyes.
"Don't worry Tai she'll be fine."
"Hey she's been through worse than this and she's made it through." Kari said.
"Good point, I'm gonna see how she's doing." He said.
"Okay." I said as we watched Tai walk off to check on Alie.
"Hey TK?" Kari asked.
"Yeah?"
"Maybe we should go back to the others."
"Everyone is in the same spot Kari."
"Oh, I forgot." Kari said, blushing. I laughed and placed my arm around her. Kari laid her head on my shoulder and hummed a tune from the Phoenix's new album.
"Hey lovebirds!" Matt shouted.
"Can't you see that we are busy?" I shouted back. Matt sighed.
"Hey T.J, get your paws off of my girl." Davis shouted.
"I'm not your girl." Kari said.
"Will you 2 please shut up?" Katie shouted, "Can't a girl get any beauty sleep?"
"No!" Davis and I shouted. Katie sighed and went back to sleep, or at least she tried because Davis and I were still bickering.
"Davis, T.K stop this." Kari shouted.
"Kari tell this idiot that you're my girl!" Davis shouted.
"No Davis, he's right I'm T.K.'s girlfriend, we kissed awhile ago Alie can fend for us."
"She's right, they did I was driving them to watch our rehearsal and they were talking for awhile then I looked back there and they were kissing." Alie said.
"No!" Davis shouted.
"Don't worry Davis you'll find someone else." Tai said as Davis walked off.
I watched as he walked off I couldn't help but be sad and happy at once, I was happy was because Kari had said that she was girlfriend, but I was sad because we had broken his heart.
Chapter 6
Christina
I watched Davis walk away from T.K. and Kari; tears were rolling down his face.
"Poor Davis." Matt said. I nodded.
Matt walked over to Davis and I just watched the waterfall. I started remembering a memory from back when I was a digital princess. Matt was visiting me when Alie and Tai came bulldozing through us.
(Flashback)
"Hey! What's the rush?" Matt asked.
"Trying to find you guys." Alie said out of breath. (A/N: We were 12.)
"What's wrong?"
"My parents have gone mad."
"How?" Christina asked.
"They just stuck Alie and I in an arranged marriage." Tai said.
"They didn't."
They nodded their heads. "Why did they?" Matt asked.
"They said it was to strengthen the bond between the digital and the real world." Tai said. He was right, Alie was a digital princess and Tai was a prince from earth except he was still considered him a digital prince.
"I just hope they don't stick you two in one too." Alie said.
"They wouldn't dare." Christina said.
"Hey if they did it to us they can do it to you two to."
Christina and Matt looked at each other, worried. Their parents were great friends with each other. Yes all of the digital princes and princesses were destined to rule a certain part of the digital world.
"I don't like the sound of that. We are just friends." Matt said.
"So are we." Tai and Alie said.
"Well, they are right. Before you know it, we could be put into an arranged marriage." Christina said. "I mean, my mom said I was to be destined to marry a prince from a nearby island."
"Uh Christina my island is the closest one." Matt said.
"Oh shit."
"The worst part is that my mom says we'll get used to it." Alie said.
Matt left because his mom said he had to meet her by the shore so they could go back to their island. Tai and Alie used their communicators to transport themselves back to the castle. I met my dad on the shore and we teleported over to the island.
(End flashback)
"Christina?" a voice asked.
"Huh?"
I snapped back to reality and found Matt staring at me.
"You zoned out. I was worried." He said, I could hear the worry in his voice.
"Oh, I was just remembering when Tai and Alie were forced to have an arranged marriage." I said.
"I remember that, I remember that we said we wouldn't have one but I do believe that we do have one it's just that we haven't heard from our parents yet." Matt said.
"Hey you guys dinner!" Sora shouted.
"Coming!" Matt shouted.
We headed over to eat. Alie was asleep again but we figured that she was too weak to eat. As we ate, I kept on getting memories of the past back.
"Are you okay Christina?" Joe asked.
"Yeah, why?" I asked.
"You seem to be zoning and you aren't eating." Izzy said.
"Oh, it's nothing." I said.
Looking over at Tai he seemed worried about something; I just couldn't quite place my finger on it.
"Hey do you guys feel weird?" Matt asked.
"Yeah." Katie said. "I'm guessing it's the one who wants to destroy Alie then Christina."
A fog swirled over head and enclosed us in it.
"Whoa, I definitely feel something now." Christina said softly.
Just then, someone started to laugh.
"Quit laughing, it ain't funny." Davis said.
"It's not anyone of us." Alie said using Tai to stay standing.
"Then who is it?"
"It is I…"
"Uh don't you guys think you should summon the swords."
"Way ahead of you." Alie said.
When we summoned the swords Alie seemed to be regaining her strength again.
"Ice."
"Lightning."
"Water."
"Wind."
"Light."
"Fire."
"Heart." The digital sword came down and when Alie grabbed hold of it she had all of her strength back.
"You think that sword can beat me when I am invisible to the human eye?"
"This sword can't but the crystal sword can!" Alie said.
She put the digital sword dead center in front of her face and shouted, "Love, Caring and Kindness as deep as an ocean, Courage as strong as fire, Friendship as strong as ice. Hope and Faith as bright as Light from the sun, Knowledge and Reliability for all time & Sincerity never weathered. All of these aspects call upon the one thing that will help defeat the evil."
There was a bright light when it died down Alie was dressed in a white t- shirt, pants and a long white coat. The sword now had gems on its hilt, that represented each color of the crests named and the blade was made out of crystal.
"That's the crystal sword even though its blade is made of what seems like fragile crystal it is indestructible. It can destroy all evil when it's at full power." Tentomon said.
"I can see you now Myotismon." Alie said.
Alie
"But how?" he asked.
"My scanner." I said, it was true I now had a whitish visor over my eyes.
"Why you little…" Myotismon began but then Christina had sent a bolt of lightening at him, making him mad.
"Don't do that Christina!" I shouted at her. She looked at me and dodged Myotismon's attack.
"You're as stupid as I thought." I said looking at Myotismon.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"You need to destroy me first for the prophecy to come true."
"Your right." He said the he shouted, "Crimson Lightning!"
I cut the lightning in half with my sword.
Then he digivolved…
Myotismon ultra digivolve to… Malomyotismon.
"Be careful Alie." Tai said.
"Don't worry about me, just get the others out of here."
"But you need our help." Katie said staring at me.
"Don't worry, my sword and I can handle him." I said.
"If you say so." Christina said, placing her sword on her belt and ran with the others to safety.
'I hope you know what you are doing.' Christina thought.
"Tai, what are you doing?" I asked him.
"I'm not leaving your side." Tai said.
"Yah you are."
"No I'm not."
"You gave me no choice Tai." I said, levitating him to safety. 'Keep him there you guys.'
"Are you ready to face me now?" Malomiotismon asked.
"Yes I had to make sure that my friends would be safe."
"Now prepare to die."
"After you."
"Crystal beam!" I shouted as a white beam shot at him.
"Total darkness." He called.
Both attacks collided and caused an explosion.
"Nice, we have the same power levels." Malomyotismon said. "Once I destroy you, I'll have no problem destroying the Angel of Caring."
"Don't even think of touching my sister!" I shouted.
"She's your sister eh?" He said, smirking. "I could use that information to my advantage."
"Shut up you." I said then I shouted, "Crystal Beam!"
It him dead on he was shot backwards and he came back full charge, "Total Darkness!"
The attack hit me when I landed I struggled to get up. I couldn't believe I said that Christina, the Angel of Caring, was my sister in front of Malomyotismon.
"Even if you kill me, the others will destroy you." I said.
Malomyotismon fired his Total Darkness attack at me and I screamed out. The others heard my scream and ran over to me that's when Malomiotismon ran.
"Are you okay Alie?" Tai asked.
"No, I'm afraid that he beat me." I said weakly.
"Please don't go!" He shouted.
"Christina, please try to destroy him." I said. She nodded.
"I'll try."
"Alie you can't leave me." Tai said.
"Tai you need to hold on to my sword for me." I said handing it to him.
"Alie what are you saying?"
"Don't worry you'll find away to bring me back."
I knew I was going to die soon.
"Tai I want you to remember that I love you and I always will."
"I'll try."
"Tai I want you to promise me."
"I promise."
I leaned forward and kissed him, he pulled away and said, "I love you Alie and I will never will forget you." He once again kissed me.
"I wont forget any of you." I said as I disintegrated.
When I was gone Tai started to cry.
Matt
I was upset when Alie was gone. Christina looked furious.
"I'll get you, Malomyotismon. I'll promise you that." She growled. I never saw her so angry before.
We started walking out of the disappearing fog.
"Hey, I think we forgot someone." John said.
I went back and found Tai sitting where Alie once was.
"Come on Tai, we got to get going." I said.
"No, I'd rather stay here instead." Tai said.
"Tai, we need your help. Christina is the next runner up to be destroyed. She may have a power none of us have seen or maybe she can create a brand new sword kinda like what Alie did." I said.
Tai looked at me and got up. I gave him a slap on the back and went back to the others.
"That took forever." Davis said. Christina glared at him.
"This is no time to joke, Davis. I'm next to be destroyed." She said.
We found a spot to rest up for when we face Malomyotismon comes back for round 2. Christina was staring at something. I could tell that she was thinking about how to defeat Malomyotismon.
"Christina has been awfully quiet." Joe said, staring at her.
"She's trying to think of away to destroy Malomyotismon." I said.
"Hey Tai why don't you put the sword a way." T.K. asked.
"Huh?" he asked.
I looked over at him he still had Alie's sword out and he was wearing her crest and medallion.
"Hey Tai were did you get Alie's crest and medallion?" I asked him.
"I found them on the ground she sent them to help us." He said. That's when both his and Alie's crests glowed, and so did both the medallions and they fused together.
"Weird." He said.
I got up and went over and sat next to Christina and put my arm around her and she put her head on my shoulder and I ran my hand through her soft hair.
Tai
I watched Matt and Christina and it hurt to see them like that. Alie is gone, nothing can change that. What was the worst part was that Alie had told me she loved me.
"Tai?" a voice asked. Looking up I saw Bryan looking at me.
"Oh hi Bryan." I said as he sat down next to me.
"How are you?" He asked.
"I'm holding up and how are you?"
"I'm great but sad about losing my cousin."
"I know how you feel."
"Of course you know how I feel."
"Well, Christina is next."
"Yep, bet she won't survive this encounter."
"Why do you think that?"
"If Alie is gone, then she will be gone."
"I see what you mean."
"Let's go everyone!" Matt shouted.
Christina was really nervous. She was shaking and occasionally she wouldn't pay attention and get lost. Finally Matt put his arm around her and steadied her. I rolled my eyes.
"Maybe we should rest until she is better." Joe said.
Matt helped her sit by a tree. Christina smiled and fell asleep. I closed my eyes and I could hear Alie singing one of the songs she had made up,
Sittin here can't wait to see you,
Anticipating what we'll do,
Supervised we're calm and clean,
With none we're wild and crazy,
Chorus:
Study hall dance,
Get on the floor,
Bust a move,
Rock and roll,
Haven fun at the study hall dance.
Running through the halls,
Hoping we won't get caught,
Lockers al around,
Jam packed with who knows what
Chorus
Make it to class before the bell,
Sitting down bored again,
Teacher droning on and on,
Can't wait for the…
Chorus
Starring out into space,
Not knowing what's going on,
Thinking over everything but the topic,
Hoping it's not on a test,
Waiting for the…
Chorus
Arriving there I see my friends,
Teacher leaves fun begins,
And all the dancing begins,
Cause it's the…
Chorus
Study hall dance.
I smiled and opened my eyes, 'Hey Tai?' Christina asked.
'Yah?' I asked.
'Did you here that?' Matt asked.
'Yah, it was a memory I remembered apparently it went to you guys to.'
'Oh, I remember.'
After an hour later, we left and kept on walking. Christina was doing much better than last time. She still was shaking but other than that, she was much better.
"So we meet again, Angel of Caring." Malomyotismon said. Christina withdrew her sword and got ready to attack.
"Your journey ends here, Malomyotismon." Christina growled. She started to glow a bright gold color and she closed her eyes.
"Faith, Caring, Friendship, Courage, Hope, Light, Reliability, Knowledge, Love, and Kindness
Powers unite" Christina chanted.
Her sword started glowing the crest colors and lengthened. The hilt was covered with gems that represented all the crests. The blade was made of stainless steel. Towards the top of the blade was the crest of Caring. Christina had changed along with the sword. Golden wings had protruded out of her back She was now wearing a long white gown that flowed down to her ankles. Her blonde hair grew a little longer. Malomyotismon stared at her and said, "The Angel of Caring has arrived."
"Yes I have arrived. Now let's fight." Christina said calmly.
Malomyotismon used his Crimson Mist attack to try and get her but she blocked it by creating a shield with her sword.
"My sword, known as the sword of storms, is not as powerful as the crystal sword but it is powerful than the digital sword." Christina said.
Malomyotismon combined his Total Darkness and Crimson Mist attack and it hit Christina dead center. She stumbled backwards.
"Ice Storm!" She shouted, sending ice crystals towards Malomyotismon. He shook them off and fired one of those black balls at her. It hit her and sent her crashing into the ground. Matt ran towards her, fearing that she was almost dead.
"Are you okay?" Kari asked as the others had ran over.
Matt
"Please don't leave me Christina." I said holding her close to me.
"Don't worry, I'll never leave you. I will always be in your heart, forever and ever." Christina said weakly.
"Please! Don't go!" I shouted. She started to disintegrate.
"I promise you I'll never leave you. I will always love you." Christina said as she was gone.
Her sword of storms fell to the ground alongside her crest and medallion. I turned around and watched as Katie, Amanda and Kari were destroyed. The prophecy had come true well half, Tai was on his knees crying because he had lost his sister and his true love.
Tai
I picked up Alie's sword and felt a strange power from it, I told Matt to pick up his I could tell that he felt the power too.
"Matt, Tai, you must use the swords. They are the only things that can destroy Malomyotismon if they are combined." Izzy shouted.
"Good idea." Matt said. I nodded in agreement.
We touched the tips of the swords together and shouted out the names of the swords. They both glowed silver and gold. We were inside a room filled with white light.
"Tai?" came a voice.
"Alie? Is it really you?" I asked.
She ran towards me and tried to hug me but she went right through me. I felt cold when she ran right through me.
"You're so cold." I said to her.
"I know that." She said. Alongside Alie came Christina, Amanda, Katie and Kari, "You're here to take one of us back with you."
"We understand but why did you run through me?" I asked her.
"We are all spirits here, now you must chose one of to go back with you."
"But who?"
"The one that you think will give you the most help." Christina said.
"Well…" Matt said.
"How about Alie?" I asked.
"If that's what you truly think will give the most help." Christina said.
"How about it Matt? Do you want Alie to come with us?"
"Alright." Matt said.
"Just remember, after you destroy him you must find us." Katie said as Alie became solid again. The souls of the other princesses began to fade away.
We finally slipped back into camp with Alie.
"Ouch. I never knew I would have this much pain." Alie said.
As soon as they went to the campfire where the others were, Alie was hugged by the other digidestined.
"Okay enough of this. We need to concentrate on destroying Malomyotismon." Alie said. I handed her the crystal sword while she was looking over the sword of storms. "It's been awhile since I've seen this sword."
"Uh?" I asked her.
"I helped Gennai make the swords." She said.
Not knowing what I was doing I took her into my arms and kissed her. I was whole once more. When we parted she said, "I love you Tai and I always will."
"And I love you Alie."
I let go and we faced Malomyotismon that's when I heard Alie say, "Digital, Storm, and Crystal swords combine to make the one sword that can defeat the evil."
That's when we saw a new sword come down and Alie grabbed it.
"That's the element sword, it has the strength of all the swords and it can destroy anything." Palmon said.
"Your end is near." Alie said, raising the sword up towards the sky. "Element Blast!"
The attack hit him and he started to disintegrate. "You will never find the others!" he shouted.
Then he was gone, we were all ready, ready to find the others. "We have to go to the Four Corners of the digital world to find the others." Alie said.
Matt, Alie and I headed West to go find Christina while the others headed north, south and east.
Will they find the other princesses in time? Find out in the next book: The Epic Journey.
By:
Alie & Christina
Hey digi-fans this is Alie Johnson of the digidestined. Hope you like the last book Tai and I had a big fight and we broke up but towards the end Tai realized that he hadn't gotten over me, well lets get started.
1 An evil unfaced before will track down the digital princess
Once she is destroyed, it will find and destroy the ones like her
One of the digital princes will then summon the spirit of one of the digital princesses
After it is destroyed, the lost ones will come back
I sat bolt strait up I was now breathing heavily. "That was really creepy." I said.
Looking at the time it was 11:30 p.m. it was too late to call Tai. "What was I thinking, I'm not talking to Tai." The phone rang loudly from the living room. I ran down the stairs to get the phone and picked it up.
"Hello, Alie speaking."
"Hey, it's Matt."
"Hey Matt, how you doing?"
"Good you?"
"I'm fine. Why did you call me at this time of night?"
"I had a very strange dream."
That's when Christina came down the stairs.
"Alie, I had the strangest dream. It was about a prophecy…"
"You to?" I asked.
"Yah, hey who are you talking to?"
"Matt."
"Why would he be calling now?"
"He had one to, you go ahead and talk to him I need to head to bed I gotta get up early tomorrow."
"Night." She said as I handed over the phone and headed up stairs.
"Night!" I called down.
Laying down the phone in my room started to ring, "Hello." I said sleepily.
"Alie?" a familiar voice asked.
"Yah."
"It's me, Tai." I came close to hanging up but I decided to see what he wanted and besides he sounded worried.
"What's wrong?"
"It's this dream I had."
"Let me guess it was about a prophecy?"
"How did you know?"
"So far you, Matt, Christina, and I have had the same dream."
"Weird, but I'm worried that it might be about you."
"It is."
"How you're not a princess."
"That's what you think."
"You are?"
"Yah so are Christina, Katie, Kari, and Amanda."
"And the guys?"
"Well Brian, Jake, John, Matt, T.K. and yourself are digital princes."
"Weird."
"Yeah."
"How long have you known?"
"About month after we first came to the digital world."
"This is the longest conversation we've had in a while."
"Yah, well I'm still mad at you. Though I'm still your friend Tai."
"Well, that is very nice of you to say that."
"Hey I've been your friend ever since preschool so how could I stay mad at you for a long period of time."
"I got to go. I need to get some sleep since we have practice for the touring around the world."
"See you tomorrow buddy."
"Bye."
Hanging up the phone I lay down and fell asleep. Waking up that morning I was happy because I had my best friend back I headed out to the garage with Christina my eyes widened as I saw a brand new SUV. It was beautiful Blue- green, leather interior sports utility vehicle. It even had an automatic start, unlock and lock buttons, and a CD player. To top it of there was a giant red bow on its roof. There was a card on the hood opening it the card said:
Alie,
For your enjoyment to drive this great gift is for you, open the glove box and you will find the keys to your new SUV.
Sincerely,
???
"That's amazing Alie." Christina said as she put her bag in her Dodge Durango and looked over the truck.
"Wonder who gave this to me." I said.
"I don't know. We need to pick up Tai and Matt then get to rehearsal." Christina said. She hopped into her Dodge Durango and waited for me to pull out first before she backed out of the driveway. We sped off to pick up the boys. I went one way and Christina went the other way. I pulled into the parking lot and went to Kamiya's apartment.
"Hi Alie." Kari said when I had knocked the door.
"Hey Kari, where's your brother?" I asked.
"Still asleep." She answered.
"Oh brother we're going to be late." I said.
Kari and I headed to his room and looked in and sure enough there was Tai face up asleep. Kari and I walked over and looked at him. I sat down on the edge of his bed a flicked his ear once and he didn't wake up.
"I hate it when he's this stubborn." I said.
"How in the world are we going to wake him up?"
"Easy get me a plastic bag and a pair of scissors."
Coming back I cut a hole that would fit over his head. Putting it over his head we made sure there was no hole for water to leak out of, taking the glass of water from the side of his bed I poured it on his head waking him up instantly.
"Good morning sleepy head." I said to Tai as he wiped the water off his face.
"Morning." He said sleepily as he took off the plastic bag and went to go brush his hair.
After brushing it he used his hair spray to stick the loose hairs together, after he threw on a clean shirt since he had slept in his pants as usual and we headed to the parking lot.
"Wow where did you get the new truck?" he asked me surprised.
"Well I guess that rules out that you gave it to me. Oh yah, I just got it this morning it was sitting in the driveway here's the card that came with it and there was a giant red bow on the roof." I said handing it to him while I drove to where the concert was going to be held.
On the way there we discussed who could have given it to me. We came up with about 20 different people. Arriving at the hall we got there the same time as Christina and Matt.
"Good you could make it on time." Andy said as he shut the door that lead to his office.
"I had a little problem with goggle boy here." I said pointing to Tai.
"I had a slight problem but I was able to wake him up my way." Christina said smiling at Matt.
"Today, we are going to work on Don't Look Down. We have to work on the trapeze act with Bbmak. Although you got it down when you performed to Japan but we need to add some more parts and acts while you are doing the song because it's boring to just watch 5 people doing a trapeze act."
"You could have Tai and Matt act like clowns." I joked, I ran as Tai chased me around the stage. Approaching the vaulting horse I got ready to mount. Jumping on the springboard I grabbed the handles, did a handstand, landed and stuck it.
"Now that's kind of stuff I'm talking about." Andy said applauding.
"So we need to do something that will attract the audiences attention?" Tai asked Andy. Andy nodded.
"I found some professional circus trainers that will teach you some neat and eye-catching moves that will attract attention." Andy said as 2 trainers came through the entrance.
"Hi. I'm Rachael and I'm the one who will teach the trapeze acts." The girl trainer replied. She had black hair, hazel eyes, and tan skin.
"Hi. I'm Joshua and I'm going to teach the circus routine." The boy trainer said. He had brown hair with flecks of blonde, brown eyes, and fair skin.
"So, when do we start the training?" Christina asked Andy eagerly. Andy smiled.
"How about now?" He said. Tai and Matt groaned as Christina and I cheered.
Rachael and I got off to a bad start. She decided to take me first to try and test my skills but I was too busy goofing off.
"Be more careful Alie. When you perform live in front of people there won't be much of the net there at all. Only certain areas are used for protection." Rachael said but I didn't listen.
"Don't worry Rachael I can land directly under the rope." I said still on the rope.
"Fine then big shot you just do that." She said.
"You shouldn't have said that." Tai said he, Josh and Matt had come to watch.
"She can't do it."
"You'd be surprised with what she can do."
I took my bandana and blind folded myself. Standing up as strait as I could I back flipped off the rope still land directly under it.
Getting off the net I took off my blindfold I looked a Rachael and said pointing at her, "Told you."
Rachael then decided she would teach Christina the moves instead of teaching me how to do it. Christina followed each and every move perfectly but she did have some mistakes here and there. Matt got scared when she almost fell but regained her balance.
"At least you follow my directions." Rachael said staring at me.
I rolled my eyes and went to my dressing room to practice for the next song. We usually do 2 or 3 songs a day.
Christina
I went to my dressing room and changed from my acrobat suit to the clothes I would be wearing for I've Had The Time Of My Life. The boys would be the ones who would do more of the dancing. But when we partner up and do some fancy dancing we do an equal amount. First we all sat down and practiced Alie and I both chose this song I had gotten the idea at a dance off that I had gone to with Tai, Alie, and Matt when Tai and Alie were still going out.
"Okay, what's going to happen is that you will have dancers right behind you right before you end the song. It's up to you if when you partner up with each other or with each other." Andy said.
"It's really up to Alie and Christina." Matt said.
"Well if we dance with other people we have to teach them the dance and it's pretty complicated, but if we do it together then we don't have to teach it and it wont take so much time." Alie said.
"She's right." I said.
"Oh alright we won't have dancers. Have you decided who's gonna go with who yet?" Andy said.
"Well, I think Tai should go with Alie and Christina with me." Matt suggested.
"Matt's right. Alie and I had learned the dance together so we know each other's moves." Tai said. Alie nodded her head.
"Well now we got settled." Andy said. "Lets have you guys practice."
We got into position for the opening to the song. Matt and I were off on the sides while Tai and Alie were in middle, getting ready for the singing. Matt was on the right side of the stage and I was on the left.
When Tai started singing, I raised my head and slowly began to walk to the middle of the stage. After he was done, Alie sang her part and Matt did the same as I did. After the chorus was done, Matt and I quickly ran to the center and started our little dance. After we were done Andy applauded and came out.
"Where did you learn that?" he asked.
"We learned it from a teacher because we had to do it for a school concert." Alie said.
"The last time we had used it was when we were at a dance off that we had gone to." I said.
"Well I think you guys have had enough practice for today so just head home and enjoy your weekend." Andy said.
I changed my clothes and headed to my Dodge Durango. Matt was already inside by the time I opened my door.
"Tai told me we are going to go to the Digital World this weekend with the others." Matt said as we backed out of the parking lot. "I also helped planned it."
"Oh brother. With the 2 of you planning it it's going to be nuts." I laughed. Matt rolled his eyes and turned up the volume on the stereo.
"And here's the Phoenix's new song from their CD What's going on!" the radio DJ said. We both laughed as we listened to Tai rap.
"I can't believe we made him do that." I said chuckling.
"I know, it's really creepy." Matt said then whispered, "We need to get Alie and Tai back together." I stared back at him.
"You're nuts." I said.
"I know it may sound nuts but they are meant for each other." Matt said.
"You may have a point there but still even if I'm in this, it's nuts." I said. Matt gave me the puppy eyes. I started laughing then I said, " I hope Alie ain't listening to our little conversation."
'Can you 2 hurry it up? Tai and I are waiting for you.' Alie thought.
'We'll be there in a second. Traffic's bad.' I said.
'Actually it sucks.' Matt said. I gave him a slap on the head.
'Well just hurry up. We're board here.' Alie thought.
'I'm surprised you two aren't kissing.' Matt thought.
'Christina please hit him for me.' She thought. I hit him up side the head. 'We're just friends now Matt remember.'
'Oh yah.'
'See you guys later.'
'Bye.' We thought simultaneously.
Matt leaned over and put his head on my shoulders. I looked at him and smiled then looked back to the road.
Chapter 2
Alie
"Where are they?" Jake asked walking back and forth on the floor.
We were at my house waiting for Christina, my sister, and her boyfriend to come home.
"They'll be here, don't worry." Katie said, fiddling with her braids.
"I can't stop worrying. She's my cousin." Jake said.
"She's also my sister." I said. "And I'm not worried about her, she's safe with Matt. Well, sort of."
Everyone started laughing, including Jake. It has been almost an hour since we left rehearsal and still they're not here. All right, I'm a little worried.
'Where are you 2?' Tai thought.
'We're pulling up in the driveway.' Matt thought.
'Finally, it's about time.' I thought.
'Traffic was bad but we were able to get through it.' Christina thought.
I heard a slam of 2 doors and footsteps walking up to the door. I walked over to the door and opened it. Christina and Matt walked in and I shut the door.
"They're here!" I shouted to the others. Jake rushed over and hugged Christina.
"You're here! I was so worried about you!" Jake said.
"I thought you were. Now would you please let me go so that I can breathe?" Christina asked.
As Matt headed in, I read his thoughts and whapped him up side his head.
'Don't even think about it Matt.' I thought.
'Well, you still have feelings for him don't you?' Matt asked.
'Of course I do, he's my friend.'
'Quit lying to your heart. You still love him, I know it.'
Again, I whapped him up side his head. Matt looked at me then joined Christina on the love seat. I thought about what Matt had said. Do I still have those feelings for Tai? I don't know. My mind says he's my friend like the good old days, but my heart has no clue. I sat down on the couch, not knowing Tai was there. I jumped up and looked behind me.
"Sorry Tai." I said laughing.
"That's okay." He said.
"I didn't know you were there."
"Like I said it's okay."
I walked over to my computer and started to get the gate up.
Tai
I smiled as I looked at Alie then I shook my head, 'She's my friend I don't have feelings for her.'
'Yes you do.' Matt thought.
'Stop messing with my thoughts Matt.'
'What? You still have those same feelings for her as you did before you 2 broke up. I have a strong feeling you 2 still love each other.'
'Matt, in the words of Alie, you're nuts.'
'I won't stop believing that you still have feelings for her.'
'Matt, shut up.' Alie thought.
'You listened to the conversation, didn't you?' I thought.
'I came in when Matt said that we still love each other, which is not true.'
'Of course it is.'
'No Matt, it isn't true.'
'Stop believing that you 2 don't still love each other. Stop denying it!'
'Christina, tell your boyfriend to stop please?' Alie thought.
'Stop what? I wasn't listening to the conversation.' Christina thought.
'Your boyfriend thinks Tai and I still love each other.'
'Oh, that theory. Matt wanted me to help him in getting you guys together and I didn't agree to help him but I do believe he is right in a way.'
'Okay since I haven't been doing anything to Jake I have a lot of new pranks.' Alie thought.
'Oh god Alie.' Christina thought.
'I was just kidding.'
'I'll just stay out of this conversation since it doesn't involve me.'
'No wait.' Matt thought but he was a little too late. 'Man, I was going to tell her something too.'
'What were you going to tell her?' I thought.
'Out of all the people you should know what I mean Tai. I was about to tell her my feelings for her.'
'But I thought you told her.'
'No, I didn't tell her everything.'
'Oh.'
'What didn't you tell her?' Alie thought.
'I haven't told her about how I first felt when I first met her.'
(Flashback)
"Hey Matt, we found an opening act for us." One of his band members shouted to him.
"Okay, bring them in." Matt shouted back.
2 girls came through the curtain and went up to Matt.
"Matt? Is that you?" asked one of them.
"Alie?" He asked.
"Yeah, it's me." Alie said as Matt hugged her.
"I didn't know that you had a band of your own." Matt said amazed, "And who's this nice good-looking lady you have with you?"
"My name is Christina Pitcher and I'm from Phoenix, Arizona. I'm one of Alie's friends."
Matt was about to say something but he was mesmerized by Christina's looks. She had shoulder-length light brown hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and pretty slim. She had to be about 5'6" tall.
"Matt? Matt?" Alie said, whapping him upside his head.
"Sorry, I'm Matt Ishida." He said shaking Christina's hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Matt." Christina said smiling.
Matt just stared at her some more. 'God she's beautiful. Am I falling in love with a girl I just first met?'
Alie looked at Matt for a sec then shook her head, "So can we audition now or what?"
"Oh yeah sure." He said and he went and sat down.
Christina and Alie stood in the center of the stage and just started singing together.
We never have gotten along before,
Always shouting and trading the blame,
Insult after insult,
Fight after fight,
Complaints and compromises that never seemed to help,
But now…
Together we stand now and forever,
It's true divided we'll fall,
Our past is behind us & now we're to be the all-American family.
We've fought a lot,
We've seen so much shame,
When we spill the blood of another,
Tears are shed for the dead,
Not for the killer
But now…
Chorus
We have our problems doesn't everyone?
Why should we be cruel to another?
After all we're just one family.
Chorus
Singing God bless America from sea to shining sea,
We are all linked together by our right to be free.
Chorus
Matt clapped as Alie and Christina bowed.
"Amazing but can you do another song?"
"Sure, no problem." Christina said.
"Christmas or regular?" Alie asked.
"Hmm… how about regular?"
"Okay."
"Phoenix tears or why are you so lonely?" Christina asked.
"Uh, Phoenix tears sounds nice." Matt said.
"Okay, phoenix tears it is." Alie said.
I have been thinking of what I could do
To get away from life
But you were there to catch me when I fell
I know you always loved
But last night I saw you crying
Coz your girl has grown up
Phoenix tears, butterfly kisses
That's all I could say
I just wish there was a way to tell you
That I love you
And only you
Please don't cry
It makes me hurt inside to see you cry
I know you're hurting
Oh boy, what can I do
To heal you of all this pain
Please let me know
Chorus
Why did you run away from me?
What was wrong?
Please let me hold you and wipe those tears away
I love you so much I can't let go of you
You can tell me what is troubling you
Coz I am here for you always
Chorus
"That was great!" he shouted.
"So do we go the part?" Alie asked.
"Definitely."
On the way out Matt ran up to Alie and wanted to talk to her.
"What is it Matt? I gotta get going." She asked him.
"Can you fix me up with your friend?" Matt asked.
"No way Matt." She said.
"Why?"
"Because you'll scare her off back to the states and any ways it would be really weird."
"How?"
"My two best friends dating. That's just plain creepy."
"Okay."
"I tell you what if you can get her to go with out with you on your own I will agree cause she'll like you."
"Fine with me."
"Good luck. Oh and by the way she can tell if some ones a creep right away, oh and she says you're cute. See you later."
"Bye!"
(Back to our time)
"I got the port up." Alie said.
I got up and stretched and stood next to Alie and held up my digivice as she held up her D3 and shouted, "Digiport open." The gate opened up and we all were sucked into the Digital World.
"Ow!" shouted Jake, who landed in a thorn bush.
"Sorry Jake." Alie said laughing.
"Next time pick a coordinate that's softer." He said.
"Like the beach?"
"Yeah."
"If it was there some one might have ended up in the water."
I helped him up. We waited for him to finish taking out the thorns. We got going and I noticed Alie looking around. I knew what she was looking for. For about 20 minutes I was arguing with Matt about Alie and I.
'No and for the last time no I do not have a crush on Alie.' I thought.
'Are you sure?' Matt thought.
'Matt, shut up, you're annoying.' Alie thought.
'Really annoying.' I thought.
As we argued, everyone else was quiet. No one heard us maybe except for Christina. If she was listening, she's doing a good job of not saying anything to stop us from arguing. Or that's what I thought…
'Will you guys please shut up?' Christina thought.
Then we all shut up. I never thought she could do that. Matt was blushing.
"Uh, I'm going to take a walk you guys." Alie said as she walked off.
We walked some more and stopped at this one site some of us thought was beautiful. It had a waterfall that must've been about 50 feet up.
'Good thing I brought my swimsuit.' Christina and Alie thought.
'Bikini?' Matt thought to them.
'No! I don't know about Christina but I have a one piece.' Alie thought.
'Just wait and see Matt.' Christina thought.
We all got our swimsuits on and swam in the pool the waterfall made for us. Alie, Christina, Matt and I went to the top of the waterfall to jump. The others cleared the pool and decided to watch. To Matt's disappointment, Christina had a one piece.
"I'll jump first." Christina said. She stepped up to the edge of the waterfall.
"Don't do it." Matt shouted.
"Don't worry Matt, I'll be fine." Christina said to Matt.
Before she could jump, Alie ran forward and did a cannonball all the way down.
"Come one you guys, that was fun!" Alie shouted.
"See you down there!" Christina shouted as she jumped off and did some tricks before she splashed into the pool.
"Wow! What a rush!" Christina shouted.
By the time Matt was gone Alie had climbed back up.
"Man the view is great." She said.
"Yah it is."
Alie lied about her swimsuit. She was wearing the swimsuit that she had gotten in Hawaii it was a two piece it had shorts and the top had a tie around the bottom and the top at the neck line.
"Go ahead and jump." She said.
"Nah I'm going to enjoy the view." He said.
"Same here."
Looking over the edge I saw Matt dunk Christina and she got him back. Looking over at Alie she was sitting on a large bolder I went over and joined her.
Matt
I looked up and saw Tai sitting next to Alie. I mentally wolf whistled.
'Shut up Matt.' Alie thought. I heard Christina laughing.
'Matt stop it, you're killing me.' She thought laughing mentally.
'No I'm not.' I thought to Christina.
'Yes you are.' Christina thought.
Then Christina got up and climbed up the waterfall. She stuck her feet over the waterfall as Tai and Alie jumped over the waterfall together. I quickly got out and watched those 2 land in the pool. I climbed up the waterfall and joined Christina.
"How did Alie get Tai down?" I asked Christina.
"She jumped with him. Alie convinced Tai that she would go down with him." Christina said. I leaned over and gave Christina a kiss on the cheek. She looked at me and went back to gazing at the sunset.
"We got to find away to get them back together." I said.
"Don't start that again." She said.
"What? They are right for each other. You and I are Tai and Alie's best friends aren't we?" Christina nodded. "You know they are right for each other."
"Look Matt, let's just let them find out they need to be together again. We have got to let things happen the way they are supposed to happen."
"You're right. I guess I was getting pushy." Christina gave me a pat on the back and then gave me a kiss on the lips.
"I knew you would see that you're pushing things too fast." Christina said as she yet again kissed me, this time longer.
My tongue pried open her mouth and her tongue went in mine. Before you know it, I was on top of her and we stayed that way. I stopped to breathe when Christina said, "You know Matt, Tai and Alie could be heading up any minute."
"Good point." I said as I got off her and helped her up. "Oh and sorry about that, my hormones took over."
"That's okay Matt, you're a guy and when you meet a girl… you know." Christina said, chuckling lightly.
"Hey you guys!" Alie shouted.
"Yah?" Matt asked.
"Everyone down here says we should stay here you guys agree?"
"Yah!" we both shouted.
"How about you guys come on down, some of the group was beginning to worry something was wrong." Tai shouted.
"Okay, we're coming down!" I shouted. I jumped down first and I didn't see Christina come down.
"Christina?" I shouted.
"You forgot about your tent!" She shouted.
"Oh, I never knew that." I said, "Throw down the bag is water proof."
It came soaring down and landed in the water I took it out and watched as Christina came soaring down after it. Alie went and got the fire wood and Tai went with him the reason why was so he could make sure she was safe cause I had found out from him awhile ago.
"Oh man." Christina said.
"What?" I asked.
"I forgot my tent."
"You can stay in mine."
"I have to all the other tents are full."
I smiled. "You must behave." she said.
"Fine." I replied.
Alie came back with Tai and they both had their arms full of wood. After setting up the fire Alie climbed the waterfall once more apparently she had her swimsuit on underneath her sweatshirt, after awhile Tai followed throwing off his sweatshirt. Alie dived into the water and said that it was still warm Tai jumped on in and agreed we watched as Alie dove under the waterfall. Tai got out and set up his and Alie's tent.
"Why are you setting up Alie's tent?" I asked him.
"She asked me to." He said.
"Where did she go anyway?"
"She thought she saw some thing behind the waterfall."
"Do you know what?"
"Nope."
Chapter 3
Alie
I stood up knowing I had gotten on the other side of the falls. When I had jumped off the falls I had seen a light shining through the water, so I decided to check it out. I stood up, took my flashlight out of a waterproof pouch and turned it on and headed deeper into the cave. Getting far enough I saw the light it was dimmer but I could still see pretty well with out my flashlight and I shut it off.
Approaching the light I saw that it was a crystal. Now that I was in the light I could see my crest responding to it and so was my medallion. The day after my fight with Tai my medallion wasn't responding like usual it was because my medallion responded to love and being mad at Tai it wasn't working to well.
I picked up the crystal and I warmed my body that's when I had realized that I had cut my leg. I put the crystal against the cut then I put my hand over it. Then my cut was healed that was really weird I put it in the waterproof pouch that I had brought my flash light in and headed out once again I dived under the falls and headed back to shore. Stepping on shore I saw that there were only three tents by the water. The others had put there's further into the forest. Matt and Christina were now in shorts and fleece sweatshirts and Tai was in sweat pants and a hooded gray sweat shirt. He came up to me handed me my towel and asked, "What did you find?"
I showed him the crystal and then I put my finger up to my lips. Walking back over to where the fire was I saw that Matt had his arm around Christina and she had her head on his shoulder. It reminded me of Tai and I. I shook my head and thought to my self, 'That's behind me now.'
I headed into my tent and changed into a pair of sweats like Tai's actually it was exactly like his except there were pony beads on the pull strings for the hood. Heading out Matt looked from me to Tai, "Don't say a word Matt." I said.
"What I was just wondering if you guys had planned that?" he asked.
"No way, I just felt like packing my sweatpants and shirt." Tai said.
"Same here." I agreed, "Uh Christina?"
"Yah Alie?" She asked.
"Where's your tent?"
"I forgot it so I'm staying in Matt's, don't worry I know I can trust him, I hope."
"Oh yah!" he said and he chased her al over the beach, Tai and I were just sitting down, him on a log and me on a rock and watched them, Matt finally pinned Christina and kissed her. It hurt too much to watch so I headed back into my tent and grabbed the pouch that had the crystal in it I took it out and studied it. I took out necklace rope with a holder for a crystal. I put the crystal against the holder and it fused with it and it looked like the one from the movie "Atlantis: The Lost Empire." The one that Kida wore.
Tai
I headed into my tent the same time as Alie had gone into hers. It hurt to watch Matt and Christina kiss, it reminding me of the two of us. I still remember when I had first kissed Alie on the cheek when she had discovered her power over weather.
I unzipped my window and looked at Alie's tent I could make out her figure cause of the crystal. I watched as she put the crystal down the front of her sweatshirt, she had a t-shirt underneath.
'I wish those two would get a room.' I thought to Alie.
'Same here.' She answered back.
'I'm glad that we're still friends.' I thought.
'Me to, I don't know what I would have done without your friendship.'
'No wonder I have the medallion of friendship.'
'Hey Tai?'
'Yah Alie?'
'Can I show you something?'
'Sure do you want me to go to your tent or you in mine?'
'You come over here.'
I unzipped my tent and headed out Matt and Christina had gone some where else. I headed into Alie's tent and she patted her sleeping bag. Sitting down on it I bounced apparently she had an air mattress with her. I watched as she took out the crystal. Then she told me to show her my cut on my chest. I took off my shirt and took off the bandage. It started to bleed again I had gotten it when she had left to find the crystal.
She touched the crystal against it and took it away then she put her hand over it and it started to heal. "That's pretty cool Alie." I said.
"Yah it is." She agreed putting the crystal back down her shirt.
"Thanks." I said holding out my hand. Instead to my surprise she gave me a hug, I could tell it was between friends, her hands were freezing though.
She let go and mumbled, "Sorry."
"It's okay." I said.
"Hey even though I don't have those old feelings for you, I still don't want to see you or any of my friends get hurt."
"Thanks."
She started to laugh, "What?" I asked.
"You forgot to put your shirt back on." She said holding it out
"Sorry." I said, taking my shirt from her, I to started to laugh and I put my shirt back on
"It's okay you would probably forget your head if I wasn't around."
"Good point."
We started laughing; it was good to be laughing again. I was glad to have Alie as my friend I just wish I could choose what my feelings were.
"Hey Alie your hands are freezing, maybe we should head out to the fire so you can warm them up." I said.
"Good idea Tai." She said.
We headed out and sat by the fire we were both on opposite sides. We were just talking and laughing like old times. About ten minutes later Matt and Christina came back.
"Where did you two go to?" Alie asked them.
"We went for a walk and you?" Matt asked.
"Talking and laughing." I said.
"Any kissing?"
"No!" Alie said, running up to him and tackling him.
"Say Uncle." I said.
"No." he said Alie twisted his arm behind his back, "Okay Uncle!"
Alie let go and helped him up. He and Christina sat down where Alie was sitting she walked past and sat down on the rock. I looked over Matt and Christina's heads I could see the waterfall and the pool of water. The moon was reflecting off it. I looked at the others, Matt had his arm around Christina and she had her head on his shoulder like before. Alie was sitting cross-legged on the rock and was looking at the waterfall. I stared back into the fire I started to slouch a little and I fell asleep.
Alie
I sighed as I looked over at Tai who had fallen asleep.
"Hey Matt can you help me carry him back to his tent?" I asked Matt.
He just shook his head. I sighed once more and lifted him up with telepathy. I went over to his tent and unzipped it and floated him in and laid him down on his sleeping bag. I zipped the door back up again and returned back to the fire.
"How is it he can fall asleep in any position?" Christina asked.
"Well he's been able to sleep on a gray hound, a school bus, on a boat, an airplane, in a tree, a couch, a love seat, a chair, a rock, a log, against a wall, standing up, in a cave. Hmm any other place I'm missing Matt?" I said.
"Well let's see, there's also the floor, a car, a truck, sitting, slouching. Technically he can sleep any where and in any position."
"Well I'm going to go to sleep." Christina said.
"Night." I said.
Matt didn't say anything he just stared at her as she went in his tent. I went over to him and waved my hand in front of his face. I rolled my eyes and hit him on his head. "Wha…"
"You do love her don't you?" I asked.
"Of coarse." He said.
"So are you gonna ask her to marry you?"
"Well probably after senior year."
"No won't work."
"Why?"
"Because she wants to go to college, and any ways don't you want to go to?"
"Yah I do."
"Well then there's your answer."
"What about you?"
"I'm going to college of coarse."
"Tai?"
"No clue actually."
"I'm going to go to bed."
"Night."
"Night."
I watched as he headed into his tent. I stayed out side for about 20 more minutes before I extinguished the fire. As I headed into my tent I saw Falconmon asleep in a tree. I headed into my tent and saw Gatomon and Tsnumon. I gave a little chuckle and attempted to fall asleep, but I couldn't and I didn't know why.
"Why can't I fall asleep?" I whispered to myself.
I sat and thought but I couldn't think of anything, why can't I fall asleep, why? I thought about it again and again. Laying down I found myself staring the way of Tai's tent. I turned and faced the ceiling. I wished I knew why I couldn't fall asleep. That's when I decided to talk to one of my friends.
'Christina?' I asked her, no answer.
'Matt?' I asked him, no answer.
'Tai?' I asked, no answer.
This was the first time none of my friends were there to help me out. That's when I realized that this was one of my worst fears being alone. I wanted one of my friends to help but no one was there. I put on my headphones and listened to some music, but nothing helped. I reached over and stroked Gatomon's fur. I could here her purr softly. It started to relax me. That's when I felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck and I fell right to sleep.
Christina
That morning the three of us were waiting for Alie to wake up. I was starting to get worried I knew not to wake her up and just to let her wake up on her own.
"Maybe one of us should go check on her." I said afraid of what I might find.
"I'll go." Tai said.
He was in the tent for about 5 minutes then he came out. He was as white as a ghost.
"What's wrong?" Matt asked.
"She's ill." He said.
"So not much to be worried about." I said.
"No, no, no you don't under stand, she about as white as Gatomon's fur and she's hot to the touch. I'm going to go find Joe." He said, and he ran off into the woods.
I went into Alie's tent, it was extremely warm in there so I unzipped the windows. Alie's lips were the same color as her skin and she was hot to the touch. Matt came in and looked at her.
"The prophecy." He whispered.
I nodded my head I understood what he was saying. Joe came in and started to check over her. "Where's Tai?" I asked.
"He outside he didn't want to see her like this, he said that he didn't want to see his best friend ill." Joe said, checking Alie's pulse.
I headed outside and saw Tai sitting on the rock that Alie was sitting on last night. He had his face in his hands I could have sworn that he was crying. I went over to him and put my arm around him for comfort.
"You okay Tai?" I asked him.
"Yah it's just that I don't want to see Alie ill." He said wiping his tears away.
"I know what you mean, this is the worst sickness that I've seen. Same for the rest of us."
"The prophecy is starting to come true."
"Yah it is but if Joe can find away to heal Alie the it won't."
That's when Joe came out of Alie's tent and Matt followed. I went over to talk to him as Tai went to go see Alie.
"So what's the diagnoses?" I asked him worried.
"Well she pretty ill but I've never seen this in a text book."
"Me either."
Tai
I went into Alie's tent she looked pretty pail. I took out my bandana and took some water out of her water bottle and pored it on to the bandana and laid it on her forehead.
"Tai?" I heard her ask.
"Shh, you need to save your strength." I said.
"What's going on?" she asked as she struggled to sit up, I helped her up and handed her, her water bottle. She took a swig.
"Your sick and everyone's worried about you." I said.
"I didn't know."
"Do you remember anything that might have gotten you sick?"
"I remember I was petting Gatomon when I felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck."
"Do you remember what it was?"
"No I don't."
I watched as she lay back down, close her eyes and fall asleep. I noticed that she had hair in front of her face, I reached over and brushed it out of her face, but instead of taking my fingers out I just kept running them threw her soft hair. I took my fingers out and then thought 'What am I doing? We're just friends.'
I got out side and went for a walk to clear my head. I found myself climbing the waterfall and sitting on a boulder looking out at the view. From where I was sitting I could see the tops of the buildings at the primary village. Looking up and to the left I could see the top of Infinity Mountain. What was odd was that there were lights on inside the castle on top. It was a little creepy to tell the truth. I headed back down the falls to tell the others about the lights.
"Are you sure?" Christina asked. I had just told them about the lights on inside the castle. While I was gone Matt and Christina had carried Alie outside.
"Yah I am sure I saw the lights. Hey Christina can you think of what to do?"
"Yah of coarse." She said.
As she, Matt and Joe thought of an idea. I went over and talked to Alie. I asked if she had tried her crystal and she said she had but it didn't work. After awhile the others came and helped plan and spoke with Alie, I didn't go and help with the plan I just stayed and watched over Alie. We finally had a plan, Matt and I supported Alie since she couldn't walk, that's when, "Wait a sec guys." Christina said.
"What is it Christina?" I asked.
"Alie has a faster way." She said.
Alie nodded and she typed in a code and told us to stand in a circle and hold hands after we had she gave a few warnings.
"Don't let go because I don't know where you'll end up." She said then she shouted, "Digi-transport the top of Infinity Mountain."
We felt the rush and we landed in front of the castle. "I know this place." Alie said.
"Of coarse you do, we've been here before." Davis said.
"No I mean before that, about ten thousand years ago I lived here."
"Are you sure Alie?" I asked her.
"Yah I am."
"That's weird." Matt said.
"I think I can walk on my own now guys." She said the weird thing is, is that she was glowing. She pushed off she was a little weak and she had to use a few things to keep her up but she made it to the door. I watched as she put her crest in a hole that was the same shape and put her medallion in the other.
The doors opened and there was a light that surrounded all the other Legendary Digidestined. When we headed inside the light surrounded every one else and Alie seemed to be regaining her strength. After heading through the second pair of doors our clothing changed we looked like we were from the past.
"One things for sure it's a good thing that we don't have to wear our crowns." Jake said.
"Speak for your self." Alie said back to full strength looking over at her we saw that she had a tiara on her head and she looked like she was uncomfortable actually everyone was.
"Why do you have to wear one and not us?" John asked.
"Easy it's because we're in my old family's home. All I know is that if Miotismon or Piedmon ruined anything in here I will seriously hurt them if we ever face them again."
"Alie you regained your strength." I said.
"Yah I don't know why I just did."
"Is anyone else getting some kind of memory back?" Christina asked rubbing her forehead.
"Yah I am." Alie said.
We headed further into the castle that's when we entered what looked like a Great Hall there were 19 chairs in a circle. We all sat down in a chair that was designated for our selves my chair had an imprint of fire and my crest on it. Alie had the hardest time finding hers because there was nothing on her chair except for the silver back and cousins. Looking at the set up it went Alie, myself, Matt, Christina, Joe, Sora, Mimi, Izzy, Kari, T.K, Jake, Katie, John, Amanda, Brian, Ken, Davis, Yolei, and Cody. Why did who ever set these chairs up put me next to Alie? Sitting down none of us knew what was going to happen, and then I regained my memories from the past. One of the memories shocked me immensely I looked over at Alie the same memory must have come back to her to.
"What's going on?" Cody asked.
"We're regaining our memories." Christina said.
"She's right, some of them are really weird, hey Alie can I talk to you?" I asked.
"Sure." She said and we headed into a separate room.
'No kissing you two.' Matt thought.
'Can you please hit him Christina?' I asked her.
'No problem Tai.' She thought.
Then through the door we heard Matt shout, "Ouch not so hard!"
We started laughing finally able to stop I asked Alie, "Did you get that one memory about us."
"Yah it's true to."
"We were stuck in an arranged marriage?"
"Yah, it was first arranged that we were to be married on my 21st birthday to strengthen the bond between the real and digital world when we were about 2. We forgot about it then when we were about 12 they had renounced it we were really worried. We were great friends and we weren't to thrilled about it. When we were about 16 we had fallen in love like in this reality, but I was twenty and it was three months before my birthday and the wedding we were transported to our time. Because Malomiotismon, Piedmon, Daemon and their supporters were going to attack and we were forewarned so they could transport us kids to the future. You and I were devastated. I had given you a necklace and that ring that I chucked at your forehead after the fight was the one you had given to me."
"No wonder I didn't recognize it." I said.
"So at least we both remember most of it."
"Yah."
We sat there for a while not talking looking at each other then slowly we got closer and closer till we kissed.
Chapter 4
Christina
'I wonder what they're doing in there?' I thought to Matt.
'I have no clue.' Matt thought back.
Looking around the others were sitting on the floor and on there chairs and some people were in other peoples chairs the best part was that Alie must have found away to make it so that we were in our original clothing instead of the dresses and tuxes. After awhile Tai and Alie came out. Alie had an odd expression on her face and so did Tai but they changed it as soon as the others good see them better so they changed there expression back to normal.
'What's wrong Alie?'
'Hold on a sec.'
'Sure.'
'Hey Matt?' I heard her think.
'Yah?' he asked.
'Christina and I are going to have a private conversation so please you and Tai need to not listen.'
'Okay.' Tai thought.
'Okay.' Matt thought.
'So what is it?' I asked her.
'He… We kissed.'
'You did?'
'Yah we were talking about a past memory and we were looking at each other after and then we kissed.'
'You kissed?'
'Yah, it just happened. For awhile I thought that it was just like the days when we were going out but then I remembered that we were friends.'
'Did you or Tai pull apart first?'
'Same time.'
'Scary.'
'Yah very, what's weird is that my head says that he's my best friend and my heart has no clue so at the moment I am completely confused.'
'Do you have any idea.'
'Yah I think I might be starting to fall in love with him again.'
'Really?'
'Yah one of my fears is to be alone so having Tai around is great. I'm actually glad when we kissed it brought back all those memories, and I think it did the same thing to Tai.
'I'll go talk to him if you want me to.'
'Thanks I just want to know if he feels the same as me.'
'No problem hey how bout after I find out and tell you we practice one of the songs?'
'That would be great.'
I went over to Tai and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Can I talk to you Tai?" I asked him.
"Sure." He said.
"What about me?" Matt asked.
"Go talk to Alie."
"Okay." He said and he got up and plopped down on the floor in front of Alie and the two of them started laughing and talking.
Tai lead me into a room. Apparently he didn't want Alie to hear.
"Alie told me that you two kissed." I said.
"Yah we did."
"So how do you feel about it?"
"It reminded me of when we were still dating and brought back a lot of old memories and it made me feel whole again for some odd reason."
"So what feelings do have for her?"
"I think I might be falling in love with her again but please don't tell her."
"Okay."
"You promise?"
"I promise Tai you can trust me. So let's head back with the others."
"Sure."
We headed back out side I went over to Alie, "So?" she asked.
I whispered into her ear, "I promised him I wouldn't tell you."
I sat down and Alie glared at me and then the two of us started to laugh.
Matt went over to Alie and asked her, "How do you feel about Tai?"
She whispered in his ear, "I think I'm starting to fall in love with him again but don't tell Tai."
Matt smiled went over to Tai and Alie wasn't looking told Tai, Tai's eyes grew wide.
"Hey you guys we're going to practice one of our songs." Alie shouted, we all headed over and sat on the steps that were in there it went Tai, Alie, myself, and Matt.
Everyone was in their sleeping bags and watching us. Looking at the time it was 11:00 p.m. I thought to the others three, 'Lets do something slow.'
'Good idea.' Alie thought.
'But which song?' Matt asked.
'I've got one, and don't worry we've done it before.'
Alie started and we realized which one it was.
I never thought that I would lose my mind,
That I could control this,
Never thought that I'd be left behind,
That I was stronger than you, baby,
Girl if only I knew what I've done,
You know, so why don't you tell me,
And I, I would bring down the moon and the sun,
To show how much I care.
Chorus:
Don't wanna lose you now,
Baby, I know we can win this,
Don't wanna lose you now,
No, no, or ever again.
I've got this feeling you're not going to stay,
It's burning within me,
The fear of losing,
Of slipping away,
It just keeps getting closer, baby,
Whatever reason to leave that I've had,
My place is always beside you,
And I wish that I didn't need you so bad,
Your face just won't go away.
Chorus
Don't wanna lose you now
I never thought that I would lose my mind,
That I could control this, yeah,
Never thought that I'd be left behind,
That I was stronger that you.
Ooh
Don't want to lose to loneliness,
Girl I know we can win,
Don't want to lose to emptiness, oh no,
Never again.
Chorus (repeat)
After we finished the four of us looked around Cody, Ken, Yolei, Davis and all of the Legendary Digidestined had fallen asleep. The first digidestined, Tai, Alie, Matt and myself were the only ones left awake, well T.K and Kari were close to falling asleep. I elbowed Matt and Alie in the gut and nodded my head towards them; Alie nudged Tai and did the same. All of us saw that they were holding hands all of us heard Alie think, 'They like each other and they made a pretty cute couple.'
I nodded then Alie thought again, 'Davis is going to be depressed if they start going out.'
'Why?' Tai asked.
'Davis has a crush on Kari.' I thought.
'He does?'
'Yah you didn't notice?'
'No.'
'It's a little obvious.'
'Good point.'
'We should do another song everyone looks tired.' Matt thought.
'Good idea but which one?'
'Back to your heart?' Alie thought.
'Good idea.'
We relaxed a little bit and began.
It's not that I can't live without you,
It's just that I don't even want to try,
Every night I dream about you,
Ever since the day we said goodbye,
If I wasn't such a fool,
Right now I'd be holding you
There's nothin' that I wouldn't do,
Baby if I only knew
Chorus:
The words to say,
The road to take,
To find away back to your heart,
What can I do,
To get to you,
And find a way back to your heart.
I don't know how it got so crazy,
But I'll do anything to set things right,
'Cause your love is so amazing,
Baby you're the best thing in my life,
Let me prove my love is real,
And made you feel the way I feel,
I promise I would give the world,
If you would only tell me girl
Chorus
Give me one more chance, to give my love to you,
'Cause no one on this earth loves you like I do, tell me
Chorus
I turn back time,
To make you mine,
And find a way back to your heart,
I beg and plead,
Fall to my knees,
To find a way back to your heart
Chorus
Back to your heart.
Looking around everyone had fallen asleep. It looked like a good idea, I moved over a little put my head on Matt's shoulder and fell asleep.
Alie
I looked over at Christina who had fallen asleep I nudged Tai and pointed over at the two of them, I gave a small chuckle stood up and stretched. I walked around the room I went over to Davis and knelt down and took off his goggles I set them next to his pillow. I stood up and walked over to Yolei and took off her glasses and took off Joe's to the two of them both fell asleep with their glasses on.
I stopped by everyone some people had books open or in Izzy's case his laptop was open and on. After making sure that everyone was okay I headed over to Christina, Matt and Tai. Matt had fallen asleep also he had his head on Christina's and he had his arm around her. I unzipped his sleeping bag completely and covered both of them with it.
Apparently Tai was watching me when I was walking around I grabbed my sleeping bag and spread it out after that I headed out side the sky was clear. I sat down and leaned against the wall I looked up at the sky it was so clear. I still had my strength because I was leaning against the castle and I was sitting on its steps. I heard a noise looking over at the door I saw Tai coming out.
"Hey Tai." I said.
"Hey Alie." He said and sat down next to me.
We sat there in silence for a while then, "I'm sorry about that kiss." he said.
"It wasn't your fault it just happened." I said.
"The kiss brought a lot of old memories back."
"I know what you mean the one I remember the most was when you kissed me on the cheek for the first time."
"I remember that, I also remember you backing me up into some trees and telling me never to do that again."
"Same here."
"Ow." I said moving my arm.
"You okay?" Tai asked me.
"Yah, my shoulders are sore from my pack apparently the pain didn't kick in till now." I said.
"Here I'll message them for you."
"Thanks." I said.
As he messaged my shoulders I put my head down. My back felt great when he was done. "Thanks Tai." I said.
"No problem." He said. He moved back over to where he was sitting and looked up at the skies I looked up to. You could see a lot more constellations here.
After awhile I headed inside and laid down on my sleeping bag. I flopped over on to my stomach. I looked around and saw a figure in the corner it thought to me mentally, 'Ah the Angel of Faith you are truly beautiful along with the Angel of Caring you will be the first to go then it will be her.'
I sat up and thought to it, 'What do you want?'
'To destroy you and the ones like you.'
'Shut up and leave me alone. Oh and before you go I just want to warn you if you hurt any of my friends I will comeback and hurt you.'
I couldn't tell but he looked scared he disappeared as Tai came through the door. I smiled as he passed me so he wouldn't suspect a thing. He came over with his sleeping bag and set it down next to me. "Just like when we were little." He whispered.
"Yeah it is I remember you, Matt, Kari T.K and I sleeping in my back yard when we were about 11." I whispered the two of us were the only two still awake.
"I remember Matt I think it was who dared you to kiss me when we were playing truth or dare." I whispered
"I remember that. You and I looked at each other then we dog piled Matt we both punched him in the arm twice."
"I remember that part."
"I actually regret not kissing you."
"Why?"
"In fifth grade I started to get a small crush on you."
"When did you start to fall in love with me?"
"Alright I'll tell you if you tell me."
"Fine, you first."
"Well I got a crush on you when we were in freshman year of high school."
"Same here."
"I don't know how it just happened."
"I remember how it happened for me, it had been a couple of years since I had seen you. I had just got back from the USA and when I saw you I thought that you had gotten pretty cute."
"Same here, pardon me for saying you had gotten hot."
I stared at him in shock then I smiled and laughed.
"I'm going to go to bed now, so I guess I'll see you in the morning."
"Night."
Tai
I watched as Alie fell asleep, "I can't believe I told her that." I said. I remembered what Matt had told me awhile ago about being able to go into their dreams so I tried. Arriving in her dream it was weird.
Looking around it looked familiar that's when I realized that I was in the Digi-world. All of a sudden I saw two people coming, it was Sora and I and we were lock at the arms. Then I saw Alie she was dressed in rags and was carrying food for the two of us. When she left I told Sora that I would be right back. I turned invisible and followed the dream me I found Alie sitting on a rock staring out into the open the dream me sat next to her and kissed her on the cheek, we put our arms around each other and I watched and listened. "I wish everything were back to normal." She said.
"I know but I still need to find out how she stool both of our powers." I said.
"She took all of my powers, the ability to levitate people, the control of weather, the power of heart, the power of the digital sword every thing even my digi-egg, my D3, and my terminal even my title of digital princess."
"I know she took my power of fire."
"My crest and the power of the gates were the only powers that she didn't take the worst thing was that she took you."
"I know I've missed you to."
Then we heard a crashing coming from the clearing turning around we saw Sora coming. "What are you doing with her?" she shouted making a storm produce.
"Sora you have gone to far, you're out of control you don't know how to control our powers." Alie shouted.
"Of course I do." She said she made her float up into the air and she began to hurt her.
"Stop it Sora!" I shouted.
"I thought you loved me Tai, I loved you but you were with her instead of me, I thought you had a thing for a girl with power so I took hers and yours so you couldn't fight back, so you would like me instead of her."
"I didn't like her for her powers, I loved her for her self you are just my friend, I went out with you so you wouldn't hurt my true love."
But she didn't stop she kept hurting her. All of a sudden Alie held on to her crest and concentrated on its power and Sora started to lose the powers and the two of us regained them. Alie went over to Sora and explained then left her there. Following them I found them kissing so I left
I arrived back in the regular Digi-world and looked at Alie. "How could she have had a dream like that." I asked myself.
Then I saw a figure in the shadows, he thought to me, 'Stay out of my way Fire and you wont get hurt, I'm after only the digital princess the first one to go is your love the Angel of Faith, then the Angel of Caring."'
'Don't even think about hurting her or Christina.' I thought. Al of a sudden he was gone I was starting to get worried about Alie. Looking at the time it was 1 o'clock in the morning I laid down on my sleeping bag and fell asleep.
Chapter 5
After last night I learned that what Matt had told me was right. At first I didn't believe him then I did after going into Alie's dream I knew that she was starting to fall in love with me again and I had fallen head-over-heals in love with her. That morning Alie said that we needed to get going everyone agreed even though al of us knew that she would get sick again.
About an hour later she got weak again we rested. All of us talked I told Alie and Christina that I knew about the figure. They said to say out of it so I did well sort of.
At about six we found a place to sleep it was a cave but it would work. Every so often Matt, Christina or I would go and see if anyone or anything was there. After awhile the others started to get suspicious.
"What are you guys doing?" Jake asked.
"I figured you guys wouldn't know about the prophecy." Alie said weakly.
"What prophecy?" Joe asked.
"I tell you guys about it."
"I'll do it Alie." I said, "you need to save your strength."
"No Tai I'll do it I'm fine."
"Okay."
"Here it is:
2 An evil unfaced before will track down the digital princess
Once she is destroyed, it will find and destroy the ones like her
One of the digital princes will then summon the spirit of one of the digital princesses
After it is destroyed, the lost ones will come back.
And that's what it is."
"That's not to bad we just need to find the digital princess and the digital prince." Davis said.
"Which one?" I asked.
"There's more than one?"
"Yah there are four princesses, and five princes."
"Who?"
"The princesses are Amanda, Kari, Alie, Christina, and Katie. The princes are Matt, Jake, John, Bryan, T.K, and myself."
"Who is the prophecy about I mean who's suppose to be killed first?"
"Me." Alie said weakly, "We don't know who the prince is who's suppose to bring one of us back though."
"I'm the second one to be killed." Christina said, Matt was the most one to be shocked.
"Now that I know about you being the second one to die, I'm sticking with you and I'm not leaving your side so you won't die." He said.
We all started to laugh with what he said even though he was serious. Looking over at Alie she was asleep and her breath was shallow. "Hey Joe do you think you could look over Alie again see if there's anything you can do for her." I asked him worried.
"Of coarse Tai." He said.
I went over and sat by the lake and just stared out into the open.
T.K
I looked around at everyone. Sora, Mimi, Katie, Amanda and Yolei were playing cards. Joe was checking over Alie. Christina and Matt were talking. Bryan, Jake and John were swimming. Izzy was doing searches on his computer. Davis was being an idiot and chasing Ken around who was faster than he was, a lot faster. Cody was helping Izzy out and Tai was sitting by the lake that was near by, and Kari and I well we were sitting on a rock holding hands, unknown to the others well maybe except for Alie, we had kissed, once. It had happened when she was driving to rehearsal and the others had invited us. (A/N: this was before Tai's and Alie's fight.)
She was paying attention to the road when it just happened we were talking and then the next thing I knew we were kissing, and Alie had seen. So Kari made her promise not to tell so she didn't. Of coarse Alie woke up to Joe checking her over and since she was too weak to push him away she let him finish.
"We should go talk to my brother." Kari said.
"Yah we should." I said.
We walked over and sat down on either side of him.
"Are you okay?" Kari asked him.
"I'm worried about Alie."
"We all are Tai." I said.
"No I mean I'm really worried about her, I love her." While he said this he had tears in his eyes.
"Don't worry Tai she'll be fine."
"Hey she's been through worse than this and she's made it through." Kari said.
"Good point, I'm gonna see how she's doing." He said.
"Okay." I said as we watched Tai walk off to check on Alie.
"Hey TK?" Kari asked.
"Yeah?"
"Maybe we should go back to the others."
"Everyone is in the same spot Kari."
"Oh, I forgot." Kari said, blushing. I laughed and placed my arm around her. Kari laid her head on my shoulder and hummed a tune from the Phoenix's new album.
"Hey lovebirds!" Matt shouted.
"Can't you see that we are busy?" I shouted back. Matt sighed.
"Hey T.J, get your paws off of my girl." Davis shouted.
"I'm not your girl." Kari said.
"Will you 2 please shut up?" Katie shouted, "Can't a girl get any beauty sleep?"
"No!" Davis and I shouted. Katie sighed and went back to sleep, or at least she tried because Davis and I were still bickering.
"Davis, T.K stop this." Kari shouted.
"Kari tell this idiot that you're my girl!" Davis shouted.
"No Davis, he's right I'm T.K.'s girlfriend, we kissed awhile ago Alie can fend for us."
"She's right, they did I was driving them to watch our rehearsal and they were talking for awhile then I looked back there and they were kissing." Alie said.
"No!" Davis shouted.
"Don't worry Davis you'll find someone else." Tai said as Davis walked off.
I watched as he walked off I couldn't help but be sad and happy at once, I was happy was because Kari had said that she was girlfriend, but I was sad because we had broken his heart.
Chapter 6
Christina
I watched Davis walk away from T.K. and Kari; tears were rolling down his face.
"Poor Davis." Matt said. I nodded.
Matt walked over to Davis and I just watched the waterfall. I started remembering a memory from back when I was a digital princess. Matt was visiting me when Alie and Tai came bulldozing through us.
(Flashback)
"Hey! What's the rush?" Matt asked.
"Trying to find you guys." Alie said out of breath. (A/N: We were 12.)
"What's wrong?"
"My parents have gone mad."
"How?" Christina asked.
"They just stuck Alie and I in an arranged marriage." Tai said.
"They didn't."
They nodded their heads. "Why did they?" Matt asked.
"They said it was to strengthen the bond between the digital and the real world." Tai said. He was right, Alie was a digital princess and Tai was a prince from earth except he was still considered him a digital prince.
"I just hope they don't stick you two in one too." Alie said.
"They wouldn't dare." Christina said.
"Hey if they did it to us they can do it to you two to."
Christina and Matt looked at each other, worried. Their parents were great friends with each other. Yes all of the digital princes and princesses were destined to rule a certain part of the digital world.
"I don't like the sound of that. We are just friends." Matt said.
"So are we." Tai and Alie said.
"Well, they are right. Before you know it, we could be put into an arranged marriage." Christina said. "I mean, my mom said I was to be destined to marry a prince from a nearby island."
"Uh Christina my island is the closest one." Matt said.
"Oh shit."
"The worst part is that my mom says we'll get used to it." Alie said.
Matt left because his mom said he had to meet her by the shore so they could go back to their island. Tai and Alie used their communicators to transport themselves back to the castle. I met my dad on the shore and we teleported over to the island.
(End flashback)
"Christina?" a voice asked.
"Huh?"
I snapped back to reality and found Matt staring at me.
"You zoned out. I was worried." He said, I could hear the worry in his voice.
"Oh, I was just remembering when Tai and Alie were forced to have an arranged marriage." I said.
"I remember that, I remember that we said we wouldn't have one but I do believe that we do have one it's just that we haven't heard from our parents yet." Matt said.
"Hey you guys dinner!" Sora shouted.
"Coming!" Matt shouted.
We headed over to eat. Alie was asleep again but we figured that she was too weak to eat. As we ate, I kept on getting memories of the past back.
"Are you okay Christina?" Joe asked.
"Yeah, why?" I asked.
"You seem to be zoning and you aren't eating." Izzy said.
"Oh, it's nothing." I said.
Looking over at Tai he seemed worried about something; I just couldn't quite place my finger on it.
"Hey do you guys feel weird?" Matt asked.
"Yeah." Katie said. "I'm guessing it's the one who wants to destroy Alie then Christina."
A fog swirled over head and enclosed us in it.
"Whoa, I definitely feel something now." Christina said softly.
Just then, someone started to laugh.
"Quit laughing, it ain't funny." Davis said.
"It's not anyone of us." Alie said using Tai to stay standing.
"Then who is it?"
"It is I…"
"Uh don't you guys think you should summon the swords."
"Way ahead of you." Alie said.
When we summoned the swords Alie seemed to be regaining her strength again.
"Ice."
"Lightning."
"Water."
"Wind."
"Light."
"Fire."
"Heart." The digital sword came down and when Alie grabbed hold of it she had all of her strength back.
"You think that sword can beat me when I am invisible to the human eye?"
"This sword can't but the crystal sword can!" Alie said.
She put the digital sword dead center in front of her face and shouted, "Love, Caring and Kindness as deep as an ocean, Courage as strong as fire, Friendship as strong as ice. Hope and Faith as bright as Light from the sun, Knowledge and Reliability for all time & Sincerity never weathered. All of these aspects call upon the one thing that will help defeat the evil."
There was a bright light when it died down Alie was dressed in a white t- shirt, pants and a long white coat. The sword now had gems on its hilt, that represented each color of the crests named and the blade was made out of crystal.
"That's the crystal sword even though its blade is made of what seems like fragile crystal it is indestructible. It can destroy all evil when it's at full power." Tentomon said.
"I can see you now Myotismon." Alie said.
Alie
"But how?" he asked.
"My scanner." I said, it was true I now had a whitish visor over my eyes.
"Why you little…" Myotismon began but then Christina had sent a bolt of lightening at him, making him mad.
"Don't do that Christina!" I shouted at her. She looked at me and dodged Myotismon's attack.
"You're as stupid as I thought." I said looking at Myotismon.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"You need to destroy me first for the prophecy to come true."
"Your right." He said the he shouted, "Crimson Lightning!"
I cut the lightning in half with my sword.
Then he digivolved…
Myotismon ultra digivolve to… Malomyotismon.
"Be careful Alie." Tai said.
"Don't worry about me, just get the others out of here."
"But you need our help." Katie said staring at me.
"Don't worry, my sword and I can handle him." I said.
"If you say so." Christina said, placing her sword on her belt and ran with the others to safety.
'I hope you know what you are doing.' Christina thought.
"Tai, what are you doing?" I asked him.
"I'm not leaving your side." Tai said.
"Yah you are."
"No I'm not."
"You gave me no choice Tai." I said, levitating him to safety. 'Keep him there you guys.'
"Are you ready to face me now?" Malomiotismon asked.
"Yes I had to make sure that my friends would be safe."
"Now prepare to die."
"After you."
"Crystal beam!" I shouted as a white beam shot at him.
"Total darkness." He called.
Both attacks collided and caused an explosion.
"Nice, we have the same power levels." Malomyotismon said. "Once I destroy you, I'll have no problem destroying the Angel of Caring."
"Don't even think of touching my sister!" I shouted.
"She's your sister eh?" He said, smirking. "I could use that information to my advantage."
"Shut up you." I said then I shouted, "Crystal Beam!"
It him dead on he was shot backwards and he came back full charge, "Total Darkness!"
The attack hit me when I landed I struggled to get up. I couldn't believe I said that Christina, the Angel of Caring, was my sister in front of Malomyotismon.
"Even if you kill me, the others will destroy you." I said.
Malomyotismon fired his Total Darkness attack at me and I screamed out. The others heard my scream and ran over to me that's when Malomiotismon ran.
"Are you okay Alie?" Tai asked.
"No, I'm afraid that he beat me." I said weakly.
"Please don't go!" He shouted.
"Christina, please try to destroy him." I said. She nodded.
"I'll try."
"Alie you can't leave me." Tai said.
"Tai you need to hold on to my sword for me." I said handing it to him.
"Alie what are you saying?"
"Don't worry you'll find away to bring me back."
I knew I was going to die soon.
"Tai I want you to remember that I love you and I always will."
"I'll try."
"Tai I want you to promise me."
"I promise."
I leaned forward and kissed him, he pulled away and said, "I love you Alie and I will never will forget you." He once again kissed me.
"I wont forget any of you." I said as I disintegrated.
When I was gone Tai started to cry.
Matt
I was upset when Alie was gone. Christina looked furious.
"I'll get you, Malomyotismon. I'll promise you that." She growled. I never saw her so angry before.
We started walking out of the disappearing fog.
"Hey, I think we forgot someone." John said.
I went back and found Tai sitting where Alie once was.
"Come on Tai, we got to get going." I said.
"No, I'd rather stay here instead." Tai said.
"Tai, we need your help. Christina is the next runner up to be destroyed. She may have a power none of us have seen or maybe she can create a brand new sword kinda like what Alie did." I said.
Tai looked at me and got up. I gave him a slap on the back and went back to the others.
"That took forever." Davis said. Christina glared at him.
"This is no time to joke, Davis. I'm next to be destroyed." She said.
We found a spot to rest up for when we face Malomyotismon comes back for round 2. Christina was staring at something. I could tell that she was thinking about how to defeat Malomyotismon.
"Christina has been awfully quiet." Joe said, staring at her.
"She's trying to think of away to destroy Malomyotismon." I said.
"Hey Tai why don't you put the sword a way." T.K. asked.
"Huh?" he asked.
I looked over at him he still had Alie's sword out and he was wearing her crest and medallion.
"Hey Tai were did you get Alie's crest and medallion?" I asked him.
"I found them on the ground she sent them to help us." He said. That's when both his and Alie's crests glowed, and so did both the medallions and they fused together.
"Weird." He said.
I got up and went over and sat next to Christina and put my arm around her and she put her head on my shoulder and I ran my hand through her soft hair.
Tai
I watched Matt and Christina and it hurt to see them like that. Alie is gone, nothing can change that. What was the worst part was that Alie had told me she loved me.
"Tai?" a voice asked. Looking up I saw Bryan looking at me.
"Oh hi Bryan." I said as he sat down next to me.
"How are you?" He asked.
"I'm holding up and how are you?"
"I'm great but sad about losing my cousin."
"I know how you feel."
"Of course you know how I feel."
"Well, Christina is next."
"Yep, bet she won't survive this encounter."
"Why do you think that?"
"If Alie is gone, then she will be gone."
"I see what you mean."
"Let's go everyone!" Matt shouted.
Christina was really nervous. She was shaking and occasionally she wouldn't pay attention and get lost. Finally Matt put his arm around her and steadied her. I rolled my eyes.
"Maybe we should rest until she is better." Joe said.
Matt helped her sit by a tree. Christina smiled and fell asleep. I closed my eyes and I could hear Alie singing one of the songs she had made up,
Sittin here can't wait to see you,
Anticipating what we'll do,
Supervised we're calm and clean,
With none we're wild and crazy,
Chorus:
Study hall dance,
Get on the floor,
Bust a move,
Rock and roll,
Haven fun at the study hall dance.
Running through the halls,
Hoping we won't get caught,
Lockers al around,
Jam packed with who knows what
Chorus
Make it to class before the bell,
Sitting down bored again,
Teacher droning on and on,
Can't wait for the…
Chorus
Starring out into space,
Not knowing what's going on,
Thinking over everything but the topic,
Hoping it's not on a test,
Waiting for the…
Chorus
Arriving there I see my friends,
Teacher leaves fun begins,
And all the dancing begins,
Cause it's the…
Chorus
Study hall dance.
I smiled and opened my eyes, 'Hey Tai?' Christina asked.
'Yah?' I asked.
'Did you here that?' Matt asked.
'Yah, it was a memory I remembered apparently it went to you guys to.'
'Oh, I remember.'
After an hour later, we left and kept on walking. Christina was doing much better than last time. She still was shaking but other than that, she was much better.
"So we meet again, Angel of Caring." Malomyotismon said. Christina withdrew her sword and got ready to attack.
"Your journey ends here, Malomyotismon." Christina growled. She started to glow a bright gold color and she closed her eyes.
"Faith, Caring, Friendship, Courage, Hope, Light, Reliability, Knowledge, Love, and Kindness
Powers unite" Christina chanted.
Her sword started glowing the crest colors and lengthened. The hilt was covered with gems that represented all the crests. The blade was made of stainless steel. Towards the top of the blade was the crest of Caring. Christina had changed along with the sword. Golden wings had protruded out of her back She was now wearing a long white gown that flowed down to her ankles. Her blonde hair grew a little longer. Malomyotismon stared at her and said, "The Angel of Caring has arrived."
"Yes I have arrived. Now let's fight." Christina said calmly.
Malomyotismon used his Crimson Mist attack to try and get her but she blocked it by creating a shield with her sword.
"My sword, known as the sword of storms, is not as powerful as the crystal sword but it is powerful than the digital sword." Christina said.
Malomyotismon combined his Total Darkness and Crimson Mist attack and it hit Christina dead center. She stumbled backwards.
"Ice Storm!" She shouted, sending ice crystals towards Malomyotismon. He shook them off and fired one of those black balls at her. It hit her and sent her crashing into the ground. Matt ran towards her, fearing that she was almost dead.
"Are you okay?" Kari asked as the others had ran over.
Matt
"Please don't leave me Christina." I said holding her close to me.
"Don't worry, I'll never leave you. I will always be in your heart, forever and ever." Christina said weakly.
"Please! Don't go!" I shouted. She started to disintegrate.
"I promise you I'll never leave you. I will always love you." Christina said as she was gone.
Her sword of storms fell to the ground alongside her crest and medallion. I turned around and watched as Katie, Amanda and Kari were destroyed. The prophecy had come true well half, Tai was on his knees crying because he had lost his sister and his true love.
Tai
I picked up Alie's sword and felt a strange power from it, I told Matt to pick up his I could tell that he felt the power too.
"Matt, Tai, you must use the swords. They are the only things that can destroy Malomyotismon if they are combined." Izzy shouted.
"Good idea." Matt said. I nodded in agreement.
We touched the tips of the swords together and shouted out the names of the swords. They both glowed silver and gold. We were inside a room filled with white light.
"Tai?" came a voice.
"Alie? Is it really you?" I asked.
She ran towards me and tried to hug me but she went right through me. I felt cold when she ran right through me.
"You're so cold." I said to her.
"I know that." She said. Alongside Alie came Christina, Amanda, Katie and Kari, "You're here to take one of us back with you."
"We understand but why did you run through me?" I asked her.
"We are all spirits here, now you must chose one of to go back with you."
"But who?"
"The one that you think will give you the most help." Christina said.
"Well…" Matt said.
"How about Alie?" I asked.
"If that's what you truly think will give the most help." Christina said.
"How about it Matt? Do you want Alie to come with us?"
"Alright." Matt said.
"Just remember, after you destroy him you must find us." Katie said as Alie became solid again. The souls of the other princesses began to fade away.
We finally slipped back into camp with Alie.
"Ouch. I never knew I would have this much pain." Alie said.
As soon as they went to the campfire where the others were, Alie was hugged by the other digidestined.
"Okay enough of this. We need to concentrate on destroying Malomyotismon." Alie said. I handed her the crystal sword while she was looking over the sword of storms. "It's been awhile since I've seen this sword."
"Uh?" I asked her.
"I helped Gennai make the swords." She said.
Not knowing what I was doing I took her into my arms and kissed her. I was whole once more. When we parted she said, "I love you Tai and I always will."
"And I love you Alie."
I let go and we faced Malomyotismon that's when I heard Alie say, "Digital, Storm, and Crystal swords combine to make the one sword that can defeat the evil."
That's when we saw a new sword come down and Alie grabbed it.
"That's the element sword, it has the strength of all the swords and it can destroy anything." Palmon said.
"Your end is near." Alie said, raising the sword up towards the sky. "Element Blast!"
The attack hit him and he started to disintegrate. "You will never find the others!" he shouted.
Then he was gone, we were all ready, ready to find the others. "We have to go to the Four Corners of the digital world to find the others." Alie said.
Matt, Alie and I headed West to go find Christina while the others headed north, south and east.
Will they find the other princesses in time? Find out in the next book: The Epic Journey.
