Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon. Jenna doesn't own Digimon. Hell, we don't own anything in this story other than ourselves and "Flowerpotmon". That includes the following that we also don't own: Magic: The Gathering, Inquest, the various M:TG cards mentioned (well, actually I do own a few of the cards. but not the rights to them.), Any of the songs that Jenna sings, or Ronin Warriors (although I do have a Ryo, Talpa, and Cale figure), I'm not sure what toys and cards Jenna has, but I know she has every Ronin Warriors episode on tape. *Jenna sticks out her tounge* "And you don't so there." Anyway, please enjoy.
(Author's note: Once again, my apologies for the last chapter. Here is my version of my birthday party. *Jenna in the background again, "I still like mine better!")
Chapter 12
And that is the legend of James' birthday party. But those who were there know the truth.
The night started off with a not so friendly team game of Magic. On one side was Jenna, James, Kari, Matt, Joe, Izzy, and Cody. On the other was T.K., Davis, Sora, Mimi, Tai, Ken, and Yolie. The battle lines were drawn with James' team playing blue, white, and green, and T.K., playing red, black, and sporting some nasty artifacts.
(Author's Note: For those who don't know "Magic" is a highly popular card game. If you don't understand the next two paragraphs, then pick up a rule book and an issue of "Inquest". Thank you, I now return you to your regularly scheduled fanfic.)
One by one the competitors were eliminated until only James, Jenna, Matt, Kari, T.K., Davis, Sora, and Tai. Matt and Tai eliminated each other when Matt cast "Brainstorm" on Tai who used a "Fork" to make Matt a target too, erasing both of their decks and taking them out of the game.
Then in a final act of desperation Sora attempted to take out everyone but herself with a "Pestilence". But thanks to some quick thinking and a "Healing Salve" from James Kari survived and dealt the damage needed to defeat Sora.
Kari then suggested that they all go for a swim. Kari then asked James if he could show her a place for her to change. "Sure," he said and showed her upstairs to his room. When they got there Kari thanked him. He then turned to leave, but Kari pulled him back and kissed him deeply. "That's just a taste of you'll get later," she told him. He walked downstairs after changing into his trunks. When he got downstairs he saw that everyone else had changed, Kari then came downstairs that almost caused James, Davis, and T.K. to faint.
While swimming T.K. and Davis tried showing off their diving skills to impress Kari, but the biggest reaction was when Davis screwed up and ended up doing a bellyflop off the high dive to which everyone laughed. Suddenly a couple of guys from a party down the street stumbled drunkenly into James' yard. They were kicked out, but when asked at school where they were they just said James' house and talked about their own party. (Hence the legend.)
In a little bit the pizzas James had ordered arrived, and everybody went inside to pig out. While eating Sora went over and started talking with T.K. and Davis. "I see you're trying to get James out of the running for Kari," she said. "Yeah, what's it to you?" Davis asked. "Well, as you may have noticed that skank Jenna is trying to steal my Matt," Sora said. "Yeah, and she seems to be doing a pretty good job of it," T.K. laughed as he pointed at Jenna and Matt holding hands. This got Sora pissed, "Well James doesn't seem to be doing too bad a job himself," she said and pointed at James with his arm around Kari as she rested her head on his chest. This didn't set well with T.K. and Davis, "So let me guess, you're proposing a partnership?" Davis asked. "Yes," Sora replied, "and I've got a plan." Hearing this T.K. and Davis smiled. "You see," Sora continued, "I know for a fact that Kari likes the two of you, so Monday at school keep talking in front of her about how Jenna was all over the two of you tonight. That will get Kari jealous and she'll take out Jenna." "Well that solves your problem, but what about James?" T.K. asked. "That's easy," Sora replied, "I'll just tell Matt that James grabbed me. Then he will beat up James and the two of you can go back to fighting amongst yourselves for Kari's affection. But I'll need some proof, so T.K. I need you to grab my butt hard enough to leave a mark." Sora lifted her skirt to reveal a bare bottom, (and she called Jenna a skank) T.K. then did as he was told and left a good mark.
Satisfied that their plan was flawless they went home, but unknown to them Izzy and Cody overheard the whole plan and told Jenna, James, Matt, and Kari. Jenna came up with a counter-plan. They would let them think that their plan had worked but, James and Matt would break up the 'fight' between Jenna and Kari. Jenna would then pull a 'my hero' routine bringing her and Matt closer together. Matt would then 'attack' James, but instead of going out with T.K. or Davis, Kari would stay with James to 'nurse' him back to health.
They agreed it was a good plan and all went home, except Kari who stayed behind to help clean up. "So, when is your mom coming home?" Kari asked James. "Not for a couple of days," James replied absent mindedly. "Good," said Kari as they finished cleaning, "Come upstairs, I have something to show you." She then led James upstairs to his room. "So what did you want to show me?" James asked. "This," Kari said removing her top as she kissed him passionately.
