Just as I signed off the Internet, my phone rang. I sighed, thinking it was my friend Michelle, calling again, for the fifth time that day. I picked up the phone and pressed my ear against it. I immediately had to yank it away.
"RUBY!" shouted the person on the other end. I winced again as my name was shrieked.
"Draco?" I said during a momentary pause.
"RUBY! You'll never believe what happened! You have to get your butt over here, RIGHT NOW!"
"Ehhh, Draco, what's going on?" She was in hysterics, and all I could understand was 'Digimon' and 'Real'
I sighed again, "Draco...... DRACO!" The line was silent, except for the sound of her heavy breathing.
"Look Draco, " I looked at my watch, "The next bus to the 'Grove leaves in 15 minutes. Okay?"
"....... Okay. Hurry up!" She pleaded.
I hung up and gave the phone a weird look. None-the-less, I was eager to find out what she was talking about. She had said 'real' and I thought I heard Elecmon.
I grabbed my bag, and checked its contents. My keys, Wallet, Renamon plushie, and digimon cards. I smiled to myself as I made sure I had my Renamon plushie and my digimon cards. I had made the Renamon myself, out of desperation. She was the closest thing I had to a real digimon. And I always had my meager collection of cards with me, as if I was a real tamer. I snatched my toy D-Power to my jeans' pocket, and ran out the door.
Twenty-five minutes later, I was knocking on the door to Draco's house. All I could hear was, "I'll get it! I'll get it! I'll get it!" and a furious thumping. The door swung open, and without warning, Draco grabbed my arm and dragged me up the stairs.
"Come on! hurry up!" She said impatiently, as I tripped up the stair case.
"I'm coming, I'm coming," I brushed my knees off, and trotted after her into her room.
Apon entrance, I nearly fainted. "Ruby. Meet Elecmon, Elecmon, meet Ruby."
I stood there, wide eyed. Sitting on her bed, was a red and blue digimon, Elecmon. "Oh..... My.. God...." I stumbled to the side of the bed, and sat down next to him.
"Ho Ruby!" He said cheerfully. "I just met Draco, and I already know tons about you!" He grinned happily as I stared dumbfounded.
"Draco.... How?" I scratched Elecmon on his head. He closed his eyes in pleasure.
"I was sitting here, trying to draw an Elecmon, and suddenly my D-power, which, by the way, is no longer a toy, started to glow." She lifted up her shirt enough for me to see the D-power clipped to her pants, like mine was. Except, hers wasn't just a toy. It looked much more durable now, and a lot less like a child's toy.
"Then it's screen started to flash. I didn't know what to do, But for some reason I started to wish that digimon was real... That I had a partner." She had tears in her eyes, as she sat down on the other side of Elecmon, and hugged him. "And it came true.... Next thing I know, there's a huge flash, and he's sitting on my bed, introducing himself."
"Renamon...." I whispered. If I ever got a digimon partner, I'd always wanted a Renamon. Sadly, I pulled the Renamon Plushie out of my backpack.
"If only eh?" I looked up at Draco.
"Oh.. Ruby, if anyone else deserved a digimon partner, it'd be you..... You love digimon as much as I do."
I nodded, and looked down at my Renamon. "If only, " I sighed again, but looked up at Draco again.
"Well, What matters is, Digimon is real, and that means there's hope for me yet, right?"
"Yeah, You are right!" She grinned, and I started petting Elecmon again, daydreaming about Renamon. I stood up, about suggest that we go for a walk, and take Elecmon for a tour of Walnut Grove, When my D-Power started to beep.
"Oh, Yeah," I said as I pulled it off my pocket to take care of the opposing digimon, "This thing always chooses the perfect time to go off. When I'm about the say... Oh!"
The screen flashed green and blue, and three words filled the screen Scanning For Data "Oh dear Goddramon." I said simply as a beam of light appeared, and filled the whole room. Renamon.. Renamon... I want Renamon.
For a split second, Draco, Elecmon and I were blinded. When we could see, my Renamon Plushie was gone, and in it's place was a Blue Card.
"OH!" I snatched it up, and without hesitation slashed it through my D-Power, which was real now, just like Draco's. Mid-Slash, I was startled by a loud crash outside, causing the whole house to shake. Without completing the slash, I accidentally pulled the card out of my D-power.
A loud beep came from it, ringing in my ears. Electricity sparked up and arced to my hands, and it ran through my body. I screamed as it coursed through myself, I was burning! Then, as suddenly as it started, it stopped. I looked at my D-Power. The screen was black.
"What... happened?" I felt like crying. Had I screwed up already? Had I missed my chance?
"I dunno, " Said Elecmon... "But a digimon's coming! And he's not friendly!" The house shook again and I grabbed my bag.
"Let's go!" shouted Draco as she led the way. When we reached the door, we saw an Airdramon. It was furiously attacking the neighbors' Basketball-hoop. It's Tail slammed into the side up Draco's house.
"Elecmon! Go get it!" "Right!" He jumped into the air, and slammed into Airdramon's side. As the Battle ensued, All I could do was stand there, holding my D-Power.
"Renamon," I whispered, "Renamon... I want you here, fighting... I want you here... As my Friend.... As my Partner!" I shouted the last word.
"Ruby!" Yelled Draco, oblivious of my tantrum, "I need cards! I don't have any!"
Without replying, I reached into my bag and tossed her the box of Digimon cards I had.
"Oh.. Renamon....." I closed my eyes and held the D-power to my chest. I felt power surge into my body... I opened my eyes wide in surprise, and found that I could see a lot better then I could before. I could feel my body changing shape. Fur Sprouted out of my neck, and my shirt melted into my body, turning itself into white and yellow fur. Deep Purple gloves materialized on my arms, and I felt and heard the bones crunching in my legs as they added a few more bones. A luxurious tail slooped out of my butt, and my fingers melted into three. I watched my nose extend right infront of me, and my ears moved up to the back of my head, and grew longer. I stood there for a second, amazed at what had just happened. I looked down at my hands. Sharp black nails were at the ends of six thick white fingers. "Wow..." My voice was still my own.
"Elecmon!" I looked up to see Elecmon get thrown into Draco's garage door. He slumped down in the ground. "Come on Elecmon! Get up!" She pleaded.
I narrowed my eyes at Airdramon. "No one messes with my friends and gets away with it." I launched myself directly at his face, like an arrow, with my arms tight at my side. A split second before I reached him, I righted myself and twirled, kicking him fiercely with my leg. I had never felt such power! I felt invincible!
Airdramon roared as he smashed into the cement, denting the driveway. I descended on him, and bit hard into his wing. He convulsed, and ripped me off him with the spasm. I somersaulted once, and drew my arms forward.
"DIAMOND STORM!" I spread my arms, sending a shower of razor sharp diamonds through his scaly skin. He screeched as they tore him apart, and he then disintegrated. The Data floated in the air, and gathered around me. I closed my eyes, and opened myself up to it.
I landed softly on the ground, panting from the fight. Draco was amazed. She walked over to me.
"Wow Ruby. It worked, you finally do have a - Huh?" She looked away from me, apparently looking for me. She must not have seen my change.
"Hey. Why are you wearing Rubys necklace? What's going.... Oh."
I smiled at her.
"Ruby.. Is that..... you?"
"The one and Only."
"RUBY!" shouted the person on the other end. I winced again as my name was shrieked.
"Draco?" I said during a momentary pause.
"RUBY! You'll never believe what happened! You have to get your butt over here, RIGHT NOW!"
"Ehhh, Draco, what's going on?" She was in hysterics, and all I could understand was 'Digimon' and 'Real'
I sighed again, "Draco...... DRACO!" The line was silent, except for the sound of her heavy breathing.
"Look Draco, " I looked at my watch, "The next bus to the 'Grove leaves in 15 minutes. Okay?"
