Fordina: And review! ^o^
Chapter 30
Happy Birthday
Three weeks later some of the Digidestened were setting up for Ken's surprise party. They had called Jordan and told her about it. She was over in a minute (Well longer then that since she had to take the subway…). Ken hadn't even told her his birthday was coming up!
"I can't believe Ken didn't tell me his birthday was this soon!" Jordan yelled exasperated.
"Don't worry about it! Ken's just like that! He didn't even tell us! We had to find out from his mother!" TK told her.
"Oh…" Jordan sighed. "I wish he would tell me more," She mumbled.
"Ken's one of those people that doesn't tell you anything unless you tell him something, or unless it's absolutely necessary," Kari explained.
"I know, so am I," Jordan sighed again. "Perfect match eh?" She grinned.
"Oh defiantly," Kari agreed giggling. "Besides this party isn't just for Ken, it's for Eriol, Meilin and Sakura too, All their birthdays fall around the same time, Even though Sakura's is next month, It's just easier to do it all now!"
"So what did you tell Ken?" Jordan asked, putting up some streamers.
"Oh not much, just asked if he wanted to come over today, to discus how the progress with Izzy's experiments are going," Yolie told her. Sighing a bit when she said Izzy's name. (That's Yolie for you! ^o~)
"What about the others? Doesn't Sakura live here?" Jordan asked.
"Madison took all of them out for a very long walk. They've been gone since this morning," TK replied.
"Hey Yolie can you give me a hand with this! Whoa!" Davis cried as he fell from a stepladder.
Yolie ran over to him. "Davis you idiot! You should have moved it closer to the wall!" Yolie scolded.
"My god Yolie! No matter what happens you always seem to find a way to make it my fault!" Davis yelled pissed off.
"What can I say?" Yolie grinned. "It's a gift." The others laughed. Just then Tai walked in with Vicky.
"Oh hey guys. What are you doing?" Tai asked.
"Tai, I told you that we were throwing a surprise party for Ken, Eriol, Meilin and Sakura! How could you forget?" Kari asked her older brother.
"I don't remember you even telling me about this!" Tai yelled. "Any ways, it doesn't matter, Vic and I have dinner plans. I just came home to get my wallet," Tai said as he started to walk to his room. Vicky walked over to Jordan.
"So, what did you get him?" Vicky asked her blushing cousin.
"Nothing much…." Jordan said turning her head away hoping she could hide her coloured cheeks.
"Oh… so it's one of those I'll give it to you later type of gifts?" Vicky grinned. "You go Jord."
"No! It's not like that! It's… it's… oh I don't know anymore!" Jordan said walking over to the balloons. Vicky just laughed. Just then Tai came back into the room, wallet in hand.
"Come on, we're going to be late," Tai said wrapping an arm around her waist. "See you guys later!" Tai called as he and Vicky walked out the door.
~~~~~~
"Madison!" Sakura whined, "Can we please go back to Kari's now?!"
"In a little while! I just need to check out these new lenses!" Madison squealed as she looked at all the photography equipment.
"You said that an hour ago Taylor!" Meilin cried. "My feet hurt!"
Syaoran, who was fully aware of what was going on whispered to Madison, "I think we should be okay, it'll take us at least an hour to get back to Kari's. They should have everything set up by then," He whispered.
"You're right," Madison said as she reluctantly put the zoom lenses down. "Let's go." And with that they all headed over to the Kamiya's.
Cody, who had been appointed look out, noticed five bodies moving closer to the apartment. Being outside the apartment Cody ran back up the stair to tell every one they were here.
"They're here! But Ken isn't with them!" He yelled. (Didn't I tell you?)
"Quick everyone hide!" Davis yelled.
"But what about Ken?!" Jordan hissed.
"He'll be here! Don't worry! He's coming a bit later because he has to help his mom with something!" Yolie screamed at her with annoyance. Every one crouched down somewhere where they think they wouldn't be seen…. They were hoping anyways.
Sakura reached for the door expecting it to be locked. She turned it just to make sure… but found that it was open. Surprised she opened the door and the five of them walked in. Turning on the lights they were all surprised (Well… not Madison or Syaoran… but you get the picture! ^o~) to see everyone jump up and yell.
"SURPRISE!!! Happy Birthday!!" Sakura, Eriol, and Meilin were all shocked.
"Happy Birthday you guys!" Madison cheered along.
"Oh my god! Its not even our birthdays! Well Eriol's and Meilin's are a lot closer then mine! You guys didn't have to do this!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Speak for your self Avalon!" Meilin yelled.
"Well this party isn't just for you guys," Jordan piped in. "It's actually Ken's birthday today… so it's for him too," She told them. Just then Ken popped his head in the door… which was still open.
"Um… hi?" Ken called. They all looked over to the door.
"Oh my god! Ken! Happy birthday!" Jordan cried running over to him.
"Happy Birthday!" The other cheered.
"Wha-" Ken said as he was toppled over by Jordan.
"I can't believe you never told me that your birthday was today! I had to learn from your friends!" Jordan cried…. While hugging him.
Blushing slightly Ken replied, "Well…. I… just never thought that it was important enough to tell…. I guess…" Ken answered. He looked around the room. "And you guys really didn't have to do this… it wasn't necessary at all."
"You're are friend Ken… Of course we're going to celebrate your 18th birthday! I mean come on! You're now considered an adult in some places!" Davis cried. (I don't know when the legal age is in Japan so… Bare with me..) "I wish I was an adult!"
"Don't get your hopes up Davis! It ain't gonna happen!" Yolie Exclaimed. Davis 'Hmphed.'
"Now come on! Let's party!" Madison cried running over to the stereo.
Syaoran walked up to Sakura. "May I have this dance?" He asked extending his hand while bowing.
Sakura giggled. "Why of course," She said taking his hand and curtseyed back. They both laughed and went into the living room where you could already find Madison and Eriol dancing to the beat.
"Come on TK! Let's go dance!" Kari said as she grabbed his hand.
"Wha? Okay!" He said as he was pulled over to where the others where.
Soon every one was dancing…. All but Ken that is. In seeing this Jordan went over to him and sat down beside him on the couch.
"Hey Ken, why aren't you dancing?" She asked.
"Well… I don't really like to dance all that much… and besides, I'm not all that good…" Ken stammered.
"Oh come on! Everyone can dance!" Jordan cried. Suddenly a slow song came on. "Come on! Just this one! Please!" Jordan begged with the puppy dog eyes. Ken smiled.
"You know I can't resist those."
"I know… that's why I used them!" She said as she dragged him up off the couch.
~~~~~~
Over with Izzy, he was researching more into his experiment. So far everything he had double check was okay. It was safe to bring the others into the Digital World. Getting ready to sign off an instant message suddenly popped up. Not recognising the address Izzy clicked on it. A viewing screen came up and a mans face appeared.
"Um... hello?" Izzy asked hesitantly.
"Hello, are you Digidestined?" Asked the blurry image. Izzy was shocked, how could this person know about them?"
"Who wants to know?" Izzy asked.
"That's not important at the moment," He told them. "Are you Digidestined?" He repeated.
"Yes I am."
"Good, I need your help."
"We'd like to help you but right now we're trying to save the Digital World," Izzy informed him.
"That's what I need your help with."
~~~~~~
"Thanks for throwing this party guys…. I know I appreciate it," Ken said blushing in embarrassment.
"Ken, dude, your our friend! We're not going to forget your birthday!!" Davis cried.
"Well we might forgot about yours Davis, but that's different," Yolie put in. Davis growled.
"This was really great you guys!" Sakura exclaimed. "I've never been to a party this fun before!"
Yolie smiled. "I see you've never been to one of Mimi's parties," The Digidestined laughed. The others sweatdropped.
"Well this was great but Madison and I should be getting back home… mom was expecting us home about two hours ago!" TK laughed as he walked up to Kari and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you to-morrow," TK whispered, Kari nodded.
Madison walked up to Eriol and kissed him. "I'm glad you had fun Eriol."
Eriol smiled. "I'll always have fun when you're around." (A/N: OMG! How Cheezy can I get?!)
Madison blushed. Meilin walked up to them, "Alright you two! Quit it with the mushy stuff!"
They said they're respective good byes and both walked out of the apartment.
"We should get going too," Yolie told them, referring to herself Meilin and Cody. Again goodbyes were said and they left.
Ken was next to announce that he had to leave. "Eriol? Are you coming?" Ken asked as he was heading to the door.
Eriol shook his head. "No, I'm spending the night at Li's, do you think that would be alright?" He asked.
Ken thought for a second. "I don't think that's a problem. You guys don't have school to-morrow anyways," Ken told him. "So I'll see you to- morrow, later everyone!" He said as he walked out the door.
Jordan had just gotten out of the bathroom when she saw the door close. "Who left?" She asked walking up to the now small group.
"Ken," Kari told her.
Jordan gasped. "He, he left without me?!" She ran to the door put her shoes on and ran out the door without saying good bye to the others.
Jordan ran down the street at top speed until she saw what she was looking for. Dark blue/black hair hardly noticeable in the darkness of the night.
"Ken!" She yelled, stopping where she was, not being able to run any longer.
Ken turned around to find his girlfriend floating about three inches above the ground.
"Jordan!" Ken cried as he ran over to her to pull her down. It seems that Jordan has yet to notice that she is a few inches in the air.
Looking back up to find Ken running towards her she looks down and suddenly screamed. "Ah!"
Reaching her Ken grabbed for her hands which where flailing in every which direction. "Jordan! Calm down! Just grab onto me!" Ken yelled.
Getting some nerves back Jordan reached out for him.
Ken tried to soothe her. "Shh, it's okay Jordan…. Calm down…. That's it… come on…" Ken said soothingly as he pulled Jordan back to the ground, thankful that it was pretty much deserted at this time of the night.
Once on the ground Jordan clung onto Ken like nothing else. "Oh god! Why do they keep coming?!" She shrieked.
"I don't know… Shh… it's all right now…. It's just another one of your powers… hush…. It's all right…. You'll learn to live with them…. Trust me…." He held her for some time before he thought it not safe to stay standing in the streets.
They walked the rest the way to the train station got on and had a very silent ride. Just the odd stifled sob from Jordan.
Finally in front of Jordan's apartment Ken slowly brought her inside where she pulled out her key and turned the lock.
She turned to Ken. "Ken?" She asked quietly.
"Hmm?" Ken looked at her.
"I'm sorry," Ken was shocked. She was apologising? Why?
"Why are you sorry?" Ken asked gently. Caressing her face lightly.
She reached into his touch. "For everything," She looked like she was on the brink of tears again.
"You have nothing to apologise for," He told her. "I wouldn't trade it for the world," He leant in closer to her, his lips right next to her ear. "I love you to much to regret it," He nibbled on her earlobe. Jordan had to stifle a moan as her tears faded away.
Just then the door opened and Tai had to stop him self from bumping into them.
"Whoa!" Tai yelled as he stopped. "Sorry to interrupt!" He said laughing.
Ken glared at him. Tai stopped laughing. Jordan spoke up. "I'll see you to-morrow Ken," She said as she slipped into her apartment. Ken sighed.
"You okay there buddy?" Tai asked draping a friendly arm over the slightly shorter Ken.
Ken sighed again. "I'm worried about Jordan. And I'm worried about everything in general. What if we can't defeat this guy?" Ken asked turning his head to look at his fellow Digidestined.
Tai gave him his ever-famous grin. "We'll beat him. And he will pay for everything he put you through again," Tai promised. The grin gone by the end of his statement. It was a sincere statement. Then again, when Tai puts his mind to something, it's always a done deal.
Ken smiled. "Thanks Tai."
~~~~~~
Inside the apartment Vicky was lying on the couch when she heard the door close.
"Victoria?" A small voice asked.
Sitting up Vicky looked around. "Jord?" She spotted her in the corner. "Jordan!" Getting up quickly Vicky ran over to her cousin. "Jordan what's wrong?" She asked as she brought her into a hug.
At first Jordan didn't reply. Then slowly… "A-an-no-th-er o-one…." She was shaking visibly.
Vicky looked at her understandably. "Jordan, they're going to come, and I'm sorry but we have no way of telling when it will end, they stopped coming for me when I was 14. I have five, and you never know if another one will just show up," She pulled Jordan away from her. "So you have to expect them. Okay?"
Jordan whipped away her tears. "Yeah, okay."
Vicky smiled. "Good, now it's late! Off to bed!!" She told Jordan.
Jordan did a mock salute. "Yes Ma'am!" Jordan said as she walked, no marched over to her room, in a whole better mood.
"G'night Jord!" Vicky yelled, as Jordan was about to close her bedroom door.
"'Night Victoria!" Jordan yelled back as she closed her door.
"You'll be okay Kid…. It'll just take some time…." Vicky said as she watched the door close.
~~~~~~
Izzy was lying in bed still wide-awake, he kept thinking about that conversation her had with that guy…. He wouldn't give him his name…. But that didn't really matter… what he said kept replaying over and over in his mind.
~^~^~FLASHBACK~^~^~
"And how can I help you help the digital world?" Izzy asked.
The man sighed. "Your one of the smart ones right?" Izzy nodded. "Good then you should be able to understand what I'm talking about…" He paused. "The Digital World is being taken over by very powerful magicians."
"That much we knew," Izzy told him.
"Don't interrupt. As I was saying, the Digital World is being taken over by powerful magicians, to have any chance at all in defeating them you need the aid of the magicians which I know you have. And I know that you will be able to get them to the Digital World… But what you don't know is the dangers of taking them there," He stopped. Izzy looked confused. He had checked everything… he was sure it was safe. "I know what you're thinking. 'You've checked everything and you're sure it's all safe' but it's not. I've done many studies on this. And I know that you have to, but I am in the Digital world," His picture shook. "I… I don't have much time… Just know to be careful! The Digital World is in your hands!" And he faded away.
~^~^~END FLASH BACK~^~^~
"I don't understand this…. What does that guy mean?" Izzy asked himself aloud.
"What does what guy mean?" A voice asked from the doorway. Izzy looked up.
"Oh hey Syaoran, Eriol," He greeted as he sat up. "How was the party?"
"The party was fine… but the shopping was tiring…" Li sighed as he flopped down on Izzy's bed.
Izzy smiled. "That's good. What about you Eriol? What did you think?"
Eriol leaned against the door jam. "It was great. But you guys didn't have to give us a party."
"Yeah well… we're nice people so…." Li told him.
"Right…." Eriol said.
~~~~~~
Izzy lay in bed still wide-awake trying to decipher what that guy meant.
"I've done everything…. I've done tests… And it all was fine… So how come this guy is telling me that it can't be done?" Izzy asked himself aloud. "Perhaps… Perhaps I missed something…. Something vital to this whole mission… I need to figure out what that is… And I'll need help… Damnit where's Willis when you need him…" Izzy cursed as he slowly let sleep consume him.
~~~~~~
Well… Here ends another chap! Yay! Hope you guys liked it! Because I worked hard on it!
Syaoran: Yeah… Sure…
Fordina: I did! If I wasn't working so hard do you think it would have taken this long to finish?!
Syaoran: Yes.
Fordina: Urg!
Ken: Oh dear… I think we should end this… Um… Hope you liked the chapter… And… Review!!
Fordina: Oh yes please! I need the reviews! ^o^
Syaoran: 'Bout time you got this chap up! You've been lazy lately!
Fordina: I know I know… I'm trying! But I'm getting stuck really easily…
Ken: S'okay Fordina… You work hard.
Syaoran: Why do you always pick her side?
Ken: I don't.
Fordina: That's true… Sometimes Ken-chan you can be so mean to me!
Ken: *Shrugs*
Syaoran: *Sweatdrops*
Fordina: All right! So it's time to start the fic! Yay!
Syaoran: Fordina does not own Card Captor Sakura or Digimon…
Fordina: But I own Jordan and Vicky! Oh! And Ross and the 'guy in the computer'!
Ken: You really got to think of a name for him.
Fordina: I know… But he's always like… "Who I am is of no importance." So I've been like… Meh… he doesn't need a name!
Syaoran: *Sigh* Just read the fic!
Fordina: And review! ^o^

Just then the door opened and Tai had to stop him self from bumping into them.
"Whoa!" Tai yelled as he stopped. "Sorry to interrupt!" He said laughing.
Ken glared at him. Tai stopped laughing. Jordan spoke up. "I'll see you to-morrow Ken," She said as she slipped into her apartment. Ken sighed.
"You okay there buddy?" Tai asked draping a friendly arm over the slightly shorter Ken.
Ken sighed again. "I'm worried about Jordan. And I'm worried about everything in general. What if we can't defeat this guy?" Ken asked turning his head to look at his fellow Digidestined.
Tai gave him his ever-famous grin. "We'll beat him. And he will pay for everything he put you through again," Tai promised. The grin gone by the end of his statement. It was a sincere statement. Then again, when Tai puts his mind to something, it's always a done deal.
Ken smiled. "Thanks Tai."

Inside the apartment Vicky was lying on the couch when she heard the door close.
"Victoria?" A small voice asked.
Sitting up Vicky looked around. "Jord?" She spotted her in the corner. "Jordan!" Getting up quickly Vicky ran over to her cousin. "Jordan what's wrong?" She asked as she brought her into a hug.
At first Jordan didn't reply. Then slowly… "A-an-no-th-er o-one…." She was shaking visibly.
Vicky looked at her understandably. "Jordan, they're going to come, and I'm sorry but we have no way of telling when it will end, they stopped coming for me when I was 14. I have five, and you never know if another one will just show up," She pulled Jordan away from her. "So you have to expect them. Okay?"
Jordan whipped away her tears. "Yeah, okay."
Vicky smiled. "Good, now it's late! Off to bed!!" She told Jordan.
Jordan did a mock salute. "Yes Ma'am!" Jordan said as she walked, no marched over to her room, in a whole better mood.
"G'night Jord!" Vicky yelled, as Jordan was about to close her bedroom door.
"'Night Victoria!" Jordan yelled back as she closed her door.
"You'll be okay Kid…. It'll just take some time…." Vicky said as she watched the door close.

Izzy was lying in bed still wide-awake, he kept thinking about that conversation her had with that guy…. He wouldn't give him his name…. But that didn't really matter… what he said kept replaying over and over in his mind.
~^~^~FLASHBACK~^~^~
"And how can I help you help the digital world?" Izzy asked.
The man sighed. "Your one of the smart ones right?" Izzy nodded. "Good then you should be able to understand what I'm talking about…" He paused. "The Digital World is being taken over by very powerful magicians."
"That much we knew," Izzy told him.
"Don't interrupt. As I was saying, the Digital World is being taken over by powerful magicians, to have any chance at all in defeating them you need the aid of the magicians which I know you have. And I know that you will be able to get them to the Digital World… But what you don't know is the dangers of taking them there," He stopped. Izzy looked confused. He had checked everything… he was sure it was safe. "I know what you're thinking. 'You've checked everything and you're sure it's all safe' but it's not. I've done many studies on this. And I know that you have to, but I am in the Digital world," His picture shook. "I… I don't have much time… Just know to be careful! The Digital World is in your hands!" And he faded away.
~^~^~END FLASH BACK~^~^~
"I don't understand this…. What does that guy mean?" Izzy asked himself aloud.
"What does what guy mean?" A voice asked from the doorway. Izzy looked up.
"Oh hey Syaoran, Eriol," He greeted as he sat up. "How was the party?"
"The party was fine… but the shopping was tiring…" Li sighed as he flopped down on Izzy's bed.
Izzy smiled. "That's good. What about you Eriol? What did you think?"
Eriol leaned against the door jam. "It was great. But you guys didn't have to give us a party."
"Yeah well… we're nice people so…." Li told him.
"Right…." Eriol said.
~~~~~~
Izzy lay in bed still wide-awake trying to decipher what that guy meant.
"I've done everything…. I've done tests… And it all was fine… So how come this guy is telling me that it can't be done?" Izzy asked himself aloud. "Perhaps… Perhaps I missed something…. Something vital to this whole mission… I need to figure out what that is… And I'll need help… Damnit where's Willis when you need him…" Izzy cursed as he slowly let sleep consume him.
