Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon or Six Flags.
Jenashu: Hi everyone! Remember what I wrote in chapter 4 about going to a singing auidition? Well, I got my letter and...I MADE IT!!! I know you could probably care less, but...^-^ Anyway, enjoy the next chapter of Odaiba High! Oh, one more quick thing. I know, I know, it makes me look like a lazy bum, but I'll refer to The World School Challenge as The WSC from now on. It should save me some time *sweatdrop* Oh, yeah, I've never been to Six Flags, so I'm making up all of the ride names, okay?

"Wow! You mean we get a perk before The WSC actually starts?!" Jen asked excitedly. She had missed the latest briefings because she had been in the bathroom.
"Yeah, that's right!" Tai said before Izzy could. He liked to be able to explain the situation for once. "We're going to Six Flags in America!"
"That's cool!" Jen said. "They must have roller coasters and everything!"
"You two are so juvenille..." Matt commented.
"Come on, Matt, we know you want to go, too." Sora said. Matt snorted and flicked a stray piece of hair back in place.
Suddenly, Jen noticed that Izzy looked kind of sick. His face was white and he was practically shaking. "Izzy, what's wrong?" Jen asked. "Are you ill?"
"No, no, I-I'm fine, really..." he responded. However, he looked pointedly at Tai, Matt, and Sora and motioned over his shoulder. Getting the message, Jen said:
"Maybe some fresh air would help. Let's go outside." Izzy nodded and they left the others behind in the hotel.
"Well, what's so bad that you can't say it in front of the others?" Jen asked to Izzy after they made sure they were alone. Izzy cleared his throat in a nervous way.
"Umm, you see, I've never been on a roller coaster before,and, to be blunt, I have a rather weak stomach and...I don't want to go." he said quickly. Jen remembered all of the times that Izzy had eaten her Aunt's (Tai's Mom) food and barfed later. But still, it was kind of hard not to. Izzy was usually healthy, but she remembered that whenever he went home sick, it was because of his stomache. But still...
"Izzy, are you afraid of heights?" Jen asked.
"No. I never had problems flying on Kabuterimon."
"Then are you afraid that the coasters will give or get stuck or something?"
"I told you, roller coasters make me sick!"
"How do you know? You've never been on one, remember?"
Izzy sighed. He knew that he had been defeated. Jen sat next to him and said in a comforting tone:
"It's okay. Everyone has fears. That's part of what makes us unique. I know that no one wants to confess their fears, but you didn't have beat around the bush with me."
"I meant to tell you straight off. Don't tell the others, though; it;ll save me from a world of torment." Izzy requested. Jen nodded and started to get up, but Izzy caught her wrist.
"It's nice out here..." he mumbled pointedly, his face red. Jen took the hint, sat down again, and cuddled close to him.

"COME ON GUYS!!! THE PLANE IS BOARDING NOW!!!" Matt shouted when he looked up at the blinking red lights. He led the others in a wild dash to the terminal, where they found the other Odaiba High students getting on the plane. "Wait, wait!"
"I'm so relieved..." Jen said as she floopped next to Izzy in the plane's row of seats. Matt and Sora were in front of her, and Tai and Hiren were behind her. "That was way too close...I owe you one, Matt."
"Yeah, it's a long walk to America." Tai joked.
"A long swim, too." Hiren added as he flipped through a magazine. Everyone nodded in consent. Suddenly, the plane was starting to roll along.
"Oh..." Sora said, clutching Matt's arm for support, "I've never been on a plane before. I'm worried about take-off...". Matt embraced her tightly, as if he could squeeze away her fears.
"Yeah, this whole thing presents a lot of firsts..." Jen commented. She opened her mouth to continue, but Izzy glared at her. "Umm, Sora's first flight...our first trip to America..." Izzy loosened up. "Hey, maybe we'll run into Mimi!"
"The chances are slim. She hasn't told anyone about getting in, did she?" Izzy asked.
"No, but maybe she wants to surprise us." Jen suggested.
"Hold on, I think maybe I've got something in my ear. Did you just say that Mimi might have a piece of gossip that she didn't spread? How long have you known Mimi again?" Matt asked skeptically.
"Just a suggestion." Jen replied briskly. Matt was about to reply when he felt the breath leave his lungs. The combination of the plane rising and Sora practically choking him to death made him unable to speak. A minute or so later, Matt looked at Sora meaningfully and said:
"Okay, it's over, and we're all fine (except for the fact that I can't breathe)." Sora blushed and released Matt, who started gulping as much air as he could.
A few moments later, the plane was filled with loud "HIC! HIC! HIC!" sounds.
"You shouldn't have breathed so heavily." Izzy noted. Matt glared at him and continued hiccouching for what seemed like the rest of the flight.
********
"Sora, do you have jet-lag?" Jen asked as she lay practically lifeless on a hotel bed.
"Yeah. Let's get some rest so we'll be ready for the rides tomorrow." Sora suggested as she crawled into the other bed.
********
"I'm excited! I love roller coasters!" Jen said happily when the Odaiba High students were finally standing outside of Six Flags. Izzy stared at the gates as if they led to Hell. "Come on, Izzy. What could happen? You'll be with Tai, Matt, and Sora!" Jen added. After a moment of after-thought, she added, "You'll be with me, too. Right?"
Izzy gave a small sigh but somehow managed to smile. "Right. You'll be with me." Jen felt her face turning pink as she grasped Izzy's hands. They were sweaty.
"Maybe we'll be alone a little bit." Jen said quietly to him. Maybe I'll experiance my high-school-girly-thing soon... she added to herself.
A few minutes later, the students were finally in the park. All of the competing schools were there, and the park had actually been closed to the public for them. "Hey!" Tai said suddenly. "Look at that!". He pointed to a gargantuan coaster. "Let's hurry so we can beat the crowd."
Soon, all of them were strapped in pairs on the coaster. Izzy had his eyes squeazed shut when Jen stole a look at him. He was gripping the handles on the shoulder bar so hard that his knuckles were white. Jen smiled sympathetically and placed her hand on his. "Don't worry." she whispered. "It's just a ride."
However, Jen's concern for Izzy was forgotten when the roller coaster started moving forward. Her feet dangled from her seat, and the wind whipped around her hair. It was almost like she was flying on Kabuterimon's back with Izzy again. She looked at Izzy and realized that he just didn't trust the machine the same way he trusted his Digimon.
"That was a good one!" Sora commented when they all stepped off of the ride. Tai, Matt, and Hiren nodded in agreement, but Izzy looked sick.
"Umm, guys, I need to go to the bathroom." Izzy said. "You can ride it again, and I'll catch up to you."
"Yeah, I need to go, too. We'll meet you here." Jen added.
"You two should have gone at the hotel." Tai said. Jen and Izzy ignored him and started towards the bathrooms.
"Izzy, are you going to loose your breakfast?" Jen asked worridly when they were out of earshot.
"Yeah, I think so..." Izzy croaked. Jen looked at him in surprise; he hadn't sounded that way since he drank about three of Mrs.Yagami's beef jerky shakes and got sick. That was when they fought Diaboromon on the internet, which was about two years ago. Luckily, the bathrooms were very close by. Izzy ran ahead of her and into the men's room.
"Gese, how gross. If you can't keep down your food, I don't think you should come to an amusement park." a guy said to his friend as he walked out of the bathroom. Poor Izzy...Jen thought.
Once again, her worries about Izzy were pushed aside when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Jen, is it you?" a soft, low, masculine voice asked. Jen spun around to see a very handsome boy looking down at her. He had blonde dreadlocks, a scar on his cheek, sparkling blue eyes, a very built body, and he was very tall. Jen gasped when it clicked in her mind.
"Garu?!" she asked in amazement. The teenage boy smiled and nodded. "Really? Wow! It's been eight years! This is great!" she added as she threw her arms around him. Garu blushed heavily.
"I haven't seen you since you moved to France! Why didn't you reply to my letters?" Jen asked. Garu looked at her sadly.
"I moved. We both moved." he said. "I called Heighten View Terrace, but they said you had moved and they didn't know where you were. And you didn't know that I had moved into Paris."
"Oh, that explains it..." Jen said quietly. Suddenly, she felt Garu's lips brush against her left cheek, and then her right. She didn't notice that the door to the men's room had opened.
"Please, Garu! I know that it's a French greeting, but you're embarassing me!" Izzy heard Jen cry. That made him feel a little better, but he was still shocked to see someone kissing the only girl that Izzy had ever had such signifigant feelings for. Expecially someone as good-looking and strong as the boy was. Finally, the teenage boy released Jen.
"Jen?" Izzy asked. Jen jumped and turned around. She knew instantly that he was upset, and it wasn't stomache problems.
"Izzy!" Jen said, stammering for a moment. "This-this is Garu Sayoe, and old friend of mine. He moved to France eight years ago. Garu, this is Izzy Izumi. We're...we're...really close. I guess you're in The WSC?" she asked of Garu.
"Yeah. I'm on the academic board for my school." he said. Izzy felt a fresh sting of dislike.
"So am I." he said.
"That's a coincidence." Garu said.
"Yeah! It is. Garu, we have a lot to catch up on! Tell me what it's like in France." Jen said eagerly. Izzy frowned deeply. He knew that Jen was friendly, but he felt that a jerk like Garu didn't deserve her attention. Garu, however, laughed.
"Sure, I'll tell you everything. But do you think that in front of a bathroom is the best place to chat?" he asked. Jen laughed and started to walk towards a picnic table.
"Jen, we promised to meet the others back at the roller coaster, remember?" Izzy asked as he gently gripped her arm.
"Oh, right...I'll tell them that they can go ahead. I'll catch up to you guys at noon in the food area." she said. Izzy didn't want to leave them alone, but this was his chance to do something for Jen.
"It's okay. I'll tell them and come back. I'm sick of roller coasters anyway." Izzy volunteered.
"Really? Thanks, Izzy." Jen said brightly. Izzy smiled at her and fought an inner battle for a moment. Should I kiss her cheek too? Would she get mad if I did that? But before he could make up his mind, Jen gave him a quick peck on the cheek and sat down at the picnic table.
Did she do that to warn Garu off? Izzy wondered as he walked towards his friends. I hope that jerk isn't going to try anything while I'm gone. Does Jen have any feelings for him? Why didn't she ever mention him to me? Izzy felt his hand wander to where Jen had kissed him. Honestly, a kiss on the cheek is supposed to mean nothing. I shouldn't be worried. But still, I won't let that jerk out of my sight if I can help it!
Oh no...is Izzy upset with me? I hope he knows that I didn't want Garu to do that. But why did I feel so...so...almost faint when Garu kissed me? It was almost as strong as the time Izzy held me after his match...Come on, Jen, get a hold on yourself. A kiss on the cheek is nothing more than friendship, which is all I feel for Garu, Jen thought as she sat with Garu. However, as Garu told her about Paris, Jen found herself gazing into his baby blue eyes instead of listening.
What is her relationship with that carrot-topped shrimp? She said they were very close. So are they a couple or good friends? She kissed him on the cheek, yet she scolded me when I did the same to her. I don't believe she's grown so beautiful...I admired her even when I was eight and way too young...And I missed her so much all these years...I never forgot how she looked, and that goofy smile she had is still there...Garu thought as he tried desperately to keep talking about France and not spilling his guts about his feelings and thoughts. Too soon, it seemed, Izzy was walking towards them. He sat down next to Jen and wrapped and arm around her waist, pulling her close. He was surprised and hurt when Jen didn't lean into him like she usually did. Without her precious weight added to his, Izzy felt like nothing. To make matters worse, she was staring intently at Garu as if he was all she could see.
Garu paused for a moment, and the spell he had seemingly cast upon Jen was broken. She blinked at Izzy as if she hadn't even noticed him. A very guilty look flashed across her face, and Izzy caught it distinctively. The very top of her cheeks turned bright red, just like they always did when Jen was caught not paying attention in class. She looked down at her shoes.
"Umm, it's ten of..." Izzy said a few tense moments later. Jen's head shot up.
"Really?" she asked, glancing at Izzy's wrist. Izzy held up his hand so Jen could see his watch, and Jen took the opportunity to make ammends and gently grasped him hand. "Yes, you're right." she said, purposely stalling so she could feel the warmth of Izzy's skin longer.
"Garu, what's your hotel number? I don't think we're aloud to wander from room to room, but I'll call you later so we can talk." Jen said. Garu shook his head.
"It's 4-18, but it's okay. Do you think maybe I can spend the day with you guys?" he asked. Izzy frowned darkly, but Jen missed it. Garu didn't.
"Sure! I'm sure the others won't mind. You remember Tai, right? Hold on, though, where are your friends? Shouldn't you tell them?" Jen asked. Garu cleared his throat nervously, just like Izzy had.
"Well, I'm still afraid of heights, and I didn't want to slow my friends down, so I'm fending for myself today..." he said, hoping that Jen wouldn't laugh. He was releaved when he heard no change in her voice.
"Okay! Let's meet the others!" Jen said to both Izzy and Garu.
******************************************************************************
Jenashu: Wow! What's going to happen between Izzy, Garu, and Jen? Will Garu destroy the beautiful relationship between Jen and Izzy? Or will Izzy and Garu kill each other first? And if Izzy and Garu compete against each other in The WSC, who's side will Jen be on? And how will the rest of the Six Flags trip turn out? Odaiba High is reaching it's ultimate climax (well, maybe not)!!!!!!
Jenashu: Hi everyone! Remember what I wrote in chapter 4 about going to a singing auidition? Well, I got my letter and...I MADE IT!!!
