The delicious smell of soup awoke Sora two hours after
her connection. She opened her eyes
slowly and tried to familiarize her blurry surroundings. She frowned, realizing she was lying in a
bed looking up at a white ceiling. This isn't home… Wasn't I in a
forest? Why is everything so blurry? Then she remembered the connection she just
made with Biyomon. No wonder I'm so
weak.. but I still don't know where I am.. or where Matt is.. Maybe if I sit
up…
"Matt?" She called out groggily as she tried sitting up. The weakness hit her like a blow to the head
and she fell back into bed dizzy.
"Sora? What are you doing trying to get up?" Matt
asked concerned as he walked over to her, holding a bowl of soup. "After all you went through you should still
be sleeping."
She looked up at his spinning blurry face as if she
was trying to place it. "Matt?" she
whispered.
"I'm
right here Sora. Can't you see
me?" He face flooded over with
concern. The room finally stopped
spinning and Sora smiled in relief.
"Yes."
"Here
drink some of this, it's soup. It'll
make you feel better." Matt brought the
spoon to her lips and watched as she slipped it slowly. He gave her a few more spoonfuls. Sora felt her energy start to come back and
her vision cleared. She sipped the
spoonfuls hungrily, and watched Matt dip the spoon back in the bowl as she
swallowed each mouthful. As she began
to feel much better she looked up at his face. The look on his face was so gentle. She could see that he put a lot of TLC (A/N: tender loving care.) into
getting her here, wherever here was.
"Matt
where are we?" She asked as he refilled the spoon.
"The
back room of a restaurant. I was
looking for some food for you when I ran into a digitamamon. I told him our story and he offered for us
to come here and rest up, and he even gave us the soup for free."
"Oh,
how did you manage to get me here?"
"Well,
I got the digitamamon to carry your stuff and I carried my own stuff on my back
as I carried you."
"You
carried me?"
"Yeah,
your light." He spooned another scoop of soup into her mouth.
"Thank
you." Matt smiled at her. "I think maybe I could feed myself now." She
added.
"Sure. I'm going putt the bowl on the nightstand
though." He placed the bowl down and
handed her the spoon. He helped her
prop up the pillows and sit up. As she
sat she realized she and Matt were still in their bathing suits. "I know you think your strong, but there's
no need to take chances. Especially on
this Digimon bed-sheets." Matt added and Sora nodded understandingly.
Matt
watched her as she ate. I helped her
to be able to do that. He thought
proudly. With out me, she'd probably
be conked out on the ground still… She needed me. She needed Friendship… A warm feeling of strength and
protectiveness washed over him. It's
good to be needed. I wonder if this is
what Gabumon felt when he digivovled and fought for me. No wonder he was able to fight so well…
Friendship is an amazing thing. Matt came back to reality when he noticed Sora starring at his chest.
"What?"
He asked looking down. His connecter
was glowing an icy blue. Matt jumped up in surprise. He watched as the shell split into a million pieces and the
pieces disappeared, revealing an old-fashioned silver key. On the handle was the friendship emblem and
it was the same size as Sora's locket. Bet
Gabumon has the lock… He thought to himself as he touched it. Suddenly he was floating and when he landed
he was on a darkened stairway, standing next to a blue dog-like creature.
"Gabumon.."
He whispered in his dream and in the room with Sora. The Digimon was badly beaten. Ugly scars left by a whip where enveloped his back. And bruises covered his body. Gabumon was weak and hurting, but still
being forced onward.
"Matt?"
The Digimon whispered and looked up towards his friend. Matt reached out and placed his hands on his
best friends head and slowly, like Sora, emptied some of his life force into
him. He watched as the Digimon became
replenished and broke threw his chains. The connection faded because of Matt's weak state and the last thing he
remembered was falling onto Sora as he blacked out.
I
know it was short but I hope you liked it anyway, please review! More Izzy, Mimi, Tai, Tk, Kari and the digidestined
