Jenashu: Hello, hello! I very much enjoyed being in Florida for two weeks! But now I'm baaaack and I'm writing! Yippie! Yama: Oh boy. Izzy: Matt, I heard that you and Tai had a party in Jen's house while we were away. Yama: Gulp... Jenashu: YAMA!!!!!!! **************************************************************************** ** Letters From Home Part 1
"Well, everyone, I took the liberty of fetching your mail today," Kakeyu said with a bow. He tossed everyone a bundle of letters. "How they know what country we're in is beyond me, but...Here's to Germany!"
"Hey, thanks Kakeyu!" Jen said. She was surprised that he would go out of his way for anyone.
"Yeah, well, don't get used to it. You have way too many letters for me to get them again. Oh well, at least I didn't have to get all that fanmail. I guess they can't keep up with where I am," Kakeyu replied with a laugh, referring to the thousands of girls who hounded him. There was a short period of silence while everyone opened their first letter and began to read.
"Hey, what do you know...Ken sent me a letter," Izzy mumbled. Jen peeked over his shoulder.
"That's nice. I don't think he likes me at all," she said with a sigh. "We had a big row over the whole you-tried-to-destroy-the-Digiworld thing."
"Give him some time. He's probably too ashamed to look you in the eye. Now he agrees with you," Izzy said. Jen sighed again and picked up a letter. She immediately recongnized Lily's untidy scrawl.
"Cool!" she said happily. "I've got one from Lily-chan. How about everyone else?"
"Fanmail," The Teenage Wolves answered as one. "They really are persistant! How do they know where we are?" Matt asked.
"The internet, of course," Izzy responded.
"Yeah, whatever. What have you got, Tai?"
"It's from Kari. I've got some from Mom and Davis as well. Sora?"
"My parents and some girls from my tennis team that didn't make it. Oh, Yolei, too."
"I've got lots from Yolei. Look! A letter from Joe!" Mimi cried. Suddenly everyone noticed that Tera and Garu hadn't said a word.
"How about you, Garu?" Jen asked. Garu flinched and looked away.
"It's nothing," he said, clenching some letters in his fist. Jen saw that most of them were adressed from his mother and some friends he had talked about. One or two of them read "Mr.Sayoe". Jen nodded at him in understanding. She hoped that his father wasn't insulting or threatening him.
There was a slight pause. Finally, Tai cleared his throat. "What have you got, Tera?" he asked. He looked over his shoulder to read it, but Tera blocked it from his view.
"It's not important!" she said, looking at the floor. Matt came up from her other side and read the first few words, which were in his sight.
"My dearest Tera...?" he read, giving Tai a sly look. Tai stared blankly back at him. Tera jumped and held the letter against her chest, causing the envelope to fall in front of her, showing the return adress. It was a boy named Brian Valin from America. Matt looked a little confused. "You didn't write this, Tai?" he whispered to his friend.
"No," Tai replied, giving him a bewildered look. No everyone was staring at Tera. After an extremely tense moment, she stood up and shot out of the room. *************
"My dearest Tera,
I haven't seen you for almost two months now, and I feel an ache in my heart whenever I think of you. When I said good-bye to you, I didn't know that I was making a terrible mistake. Every moment without you brings me more and more pain. They say that you never realize how much you love someone until they're gone, and it's true. I need you in my life again. When you come home, I want to be with you again. I beg you to consider these words before you cast me aside forever. Please give me another chance to be with you, Tera. I miss you.
Love always, Valin" Tera stared blankly down at the letter from her ex-boyfried. He had ended their relationship, saying that he didn't think that she was the girl that he could spend forever with. And now he was saying just the opposite. Tera took a deep breath as all the memories they had made came flooding back to her. They were all good times, except that bitter moment when they parted ways. Her heart ached when she remembered what his kiss tasted like. She remembered how crushed she had been after Brian broke up with her. I...I really was in love with him...Tera realized.
A timid knock on the door derailed her train of thought. "C-come in," Tera called. She gave a little gasp when Taichi walked into the room.
"No Crystal?" he asked, looking catiously around.
"No..." Tera said. Tai stared at her for a moment before sitting down next to her on the bed.
"Who sent you that letter?" he asked. Tera looked in his eyes and shivered. There was too much hurt in them for her to stand.
"My...my ex," she replied.
"Oh...What did he want?" Tai asked, knowing that he would hear what he feared.
"He wants to try again," Tera said softly. Tera knew that Tai was extremely brave, but now his hands were shaking.
"But...but you're going to tell him no, right?" he said hopefully.
Tera was silent for a long time. She was in love with two people; she knew one of them much better, but he had hurt her. The other one had only tried to please her. She didn't know what to say. ********
"Hi Jen!
Guess what? Davis asked me out on our first real date ever! Sure, we've watched a lot of movies and stuff at my house, but that doesn't really count. But this does!"
Alright! Good for you, Lily! Jen thought. I'm glad you've finally managed to completely win him over! When she was finished, she ripped open another.
"Dear Jenny,
Hey, what's up? Have you heard yet? Lily's all excited because Davis is taking her the school dance. I think she mentioned something about dinner, too. Lucky Lily! I still don't have the nerve to tell the guy I like that I like him!"
Oh, Ryn...Jen thought with a smile. She read the rest of her letter and opened another.
"Hey Jen,
How's it going? I'm glad to hear that you didn't barf all over the stage during your preformance. No, seriously, I'm glad you won. Anyway, how's it going? How was that ball that you mentioned? Tell me, is it possible to dance with someone that's 3/4 of your size?"
Indy, you're so cruel! Jen said to herself with a laugh. I hope everyone else is getting great letters like these! *************
"You're so cute! I love you! Hahaha, these are rich!" Kakeyu laughed while he read over Mitz's shoulder.
"Hey, at least she has taste," Mitz said indignitly, clutching his letter.
"I don't think Andrew is a girl's name, bro," Kakeyu replied, laughing hysterically. He pointed to the last line that read "Love, Andrew". Mitz stared at the letter before slowly ripping it in two.
"I hate getting all these letters from my siblings," Adrian complained. "They all say the same things over and over..."
"What are they saying?" Mitz asked.
"Mostly, "You have that picture of Dad with you, right? If you see him anywhere, bring him home!" Ha! This picture is years old! He's probably grey by now. Who cares, anyway?" Adrian said bitterly. Mitz patted his shoulder comfortingly.
"Is that supposed to help?" he asked irritably. Mitz sighed and turned away, looking hurt.
Yaten made a show of ripping open a letter, looking at it for a moment, and throwing it away. "Why didn't you read it?" Matt asked. Yaten smiled.
"She wasn't hot," he replied. Matt stared at him.
"You could tell?"
"Oh yes. Simply by looking at their handwriting. Give me that letter you ripped, Mitz. Thanks. Oh, man..."
"Don't tell me," Matt requested. Yaten smiled.
"Yup, he's hot," he said, throwing the letter back at Mitz. ***********
"Tera!" Tai said. There was a definate begging sound in his voice. Tera looked at him and realized that she could never feel for Brian what she felt for him.
"Yes, Tai...I'm going to tell him no," Tera answered. Tai's body slumped over in relief.
"Really?" he asked.
"Of course! He hurt me, Tai. I don't want that to happen again," Tera said sadly. Tai gently stroked her face.
"Don't worry," he whispered, leaning close to her, "it won't." Tera was about to say something else, but before she could, Tai cut her off with a kiss. **************************************************************************** * Jenashu: Short, I know.
