Tribulation chapter Two

More good news!



Kari's apartment loomed in front of me. If you looked real high at the top, the sky made it look like it was going to fall over. But that would happen later… Someone held the door open for me and I quickly thanked them. With further inspection I saw it was a young woman with her young child.

Elevator or stai- elevator. I just ran a journey, I needed my rest. By the time the elevator ride was almost over I realized I needed an excuse for being late. I could try the ….. and then I realized I forgot my D-3 excuse. Or the …. Oh my gosh, you said seven ? I thought it was for seven fifteen excuse. Or the ….almost broke my ankle in basketball practice and since I like to walk excuse. Or I could just tell the truth! But if I told the truth I wouldn't be creative, but then again it wasn't like I could lie. I figured it out, I would tell a half lie.

I sighed and dropped my head, by the time I finished thinking about what I should tell them I was standing in front of Kari's door. I raised my hand to knock and the door suddenly flew open and I was staring into a pair of these amazing chocolate cinnamon brown eyes. Yes, this was a problem. I was finding it very hard to concentrate. Look away, look away! ,my mind screamed. But I couldn't! Fine I'll admit it, and I'll admit I've been avoiding admitting it. O.K., I'm in love with Kari! No, I don't think that I love Kari, I know that I love Kari. And I have for probably a long time now, if you add the fact that I was probably in love with her in the past and just not known. Well I know now. But see, Kari's my best friend. Your not suppose to have a crush on your best friend, let alone be in love with them. So that is my problem. So that's the thing. I don't thinks she likes me more than a friend. Plus if I told her it could probably ruin our friendship. THAT would KILL me ! It's not everyday I feel like dying, I do in fact have something to live for. Trust me! So all in all I rather live with her as my best friend (even tough it's torture, well to an extent) than to tell her this and break the friendship.

So back to Kari. I was still staring in her cinnamon brown eyes when Davis broke in. Trust Davis to ruin all my moments whether it be victory or romance, not that this was romance or anything… Hell, he could even ruin suspense, but Davis is a nice guy. Over the years we have become better friends. He still likes Kari though, and I think he has a thing for Yolei too. "Your finally here T.S., (yes, he's referring to me) you took long enough". Me and Kari broke eye contact as soon as Davis began to talk. "Hey Kari", I say as she moves aside to let me in. "Hey T.K.", she replies. I smile softly, even just seeing her puts me in a good mood. I love the way she says my name as well, but it wasn't like I was going to tell her that. If I was as brave as Davis I would have the crest of courage.

I walk into the apartment and everyone is sitting in their living room. The living room was small but cozy. Oh and by everyone I mean the digidestined that I went to the digiworld with, or all of my close friends. Although a few of them are in America. As I walk over to the couch I say hi to them all. But it was my brother who asked me why I was late. "So, why are you late", Matt asked me just before I sat down. I sat heavily on the couch beside 'I glanced beside me', Cody who was neatly sitting with his hands in his lap. See, somethings never change.

"I'm late ? Oops, I guess I just left my apartment at a bad time." I forced a smile, atleast I didn't lie…. "Really," Davis said sarcastically. I caught Matt give Davis a warning look and he fell silent. Then Matt gave me a warning look as well. Wha? What did I do ? Was the look to tell me not to fight Davis or I'll find out why your late? I donno! Probably the last one. Cody glanced at me as if I was lying. Damn him! He always knows when I'm lying.

"Well any way", Tai announced, he was already standing up. "Well I'm sure we've all heard or seen the news broadcast." Everyone said something affirmative or nodded their heads in agreement. Izzy gave the thumbs up sign and resumed typing on that annoying lap top. Izzy was sitting on the floor with his legs crossed staring into the screen. I swear that thing is so annoying! It wasn't when we first went tot fight the dark masters, okay I'm lying, so maybe it was. But it keeps on getting more annoying every year. By now it should be seven times more annoying then the first time I saw it. So while I was staring evil eyes at Izzy's lap top, pondering if the best way to break it was to set it on fire or to mutilate it creatively with a pocket knife, Tai was saying pretty relevant information.

"Does anyone have any idea what we should do about it?" Silence! I knew I should of been thinking about the problem, but I swear the lap top just sat there on purpose on the sole intent of mocking me. I didn't find it so funny so I gave it a dirty look. Normally I would be staring at or at least glancing at Kari, who Davis by the way was conveniently sitting beside…Next time I'll come earlier and change that. "T.K.", Tai snapped. I quickly averted my eyes off the lap top and to Tai. "Although your not the only one who would like to see the death of Izzy's lap top," That got Izzy's attention. In fact, Izzy gave us all wary looks and watched protectively over his possession. "It is more relevant to pay attention to me, this affects everyone's life in this room. If you think it doesn't, I'm sorry to burst your illusion but your not that special". "Tai is using big words so it must be important", Matt joked. Tai shot an evil look at Matt, and me seeing it as a perfect opportunity stuck out my thug at Kari. Kari shot a funny face at me and we both started to giggle. Davis sat there confused and Tai shot me a dirty look as if saying 'I'm warning you'. And seeing how Tai could be just as dangerous as Matt, I stopped. Tai resumed his speech.

"O.K.", Tai stated quickly thinking of a way to make us think. "How about we watch the broadcast again for those who never saw it". I heard Yolei sigh, she was sitting on the floor besides Ken, and if she moved any closer she'd be sitting on Ken. One has to wonder about those two. Well I did anyway. Tai grabbed the remote from his lamp stand and turned on the TV. He already had it on….Cartoon network ? Tai watches Cartoon network, that's unreal. "Shut-up!", Tai said before Matt could say any thing. I think Sora giggled. Tai suddenly blushed so Sora definitely giggled. I have to tell you what's going on between those two later.

Tai finally reached the news station, we had to watch ten minutes of boring uneventful stuff till the broadcast came on. Only something was different. "We have updated news on the digimon case," the news reporter spoke confidently. "That can't be good". Hey, Joe finally talked. I wouldn't even of known he was here if I didn't see him on my way in. "The original status was that all the digidestined were a threat, that has now been revised, further studies show that they are not the threats". Well that's a relief", Yolei stated sighing. She should of saved her breath. "The threat is actually 14 kids between the ages of 12-18. These kids are said to be related to the past attacks in a city in Japan. More updates soon. This is brought to you by- Click! Tai turned off the TV. If I had been paying more attention I would of seen him throw the remote to. I quickly counted the digidestined that went to the digiworld consecutively. "Fourteen", I whispered, if you counted Willis and Michael. "Shit!" I heard someone exclaim. I blinked again then realized it was me.
