Ch.8 "SNOW STORMED 1."



In her father's room, Kamari and Wishmon looked through the window. Outside on the streets of Japan, it began to snow again. Early that white February morning, people of all ages gathered on the streets. Busy as always, though it was a Tuesday, not just an ordinary Tuesday, but it was the second day when there was a strong precipitation of snow hitting the streets by storm. Everywhere the people of Japan looked, they saw the endless amount of snow falling, falling, and falling. No one could determine exactly the image they were seeing when they looked through their frosted and ice-cold glass windows. People who were shovelling the snow decided to shovel it when the weather's not so wild. Instead, they hurried to get back indoors where it was warmer.

"Isn't the snow beautiful, Mariana?" Mr. Chaikary asked her when he entered his room all soaked with melting snow from head to toes.

"Yes, it is." She looked away to face him with Wishmon by her side. "So, what are you doing home so early?"

"I was going to ask you that same question, Darling," he replied as he moved closer to the window.

"Well, since the storm was causing such a mess, the principle and the teachers sent us back home," she answered.

"So, what's your excuse, Mr. Chaikary?" Wishmon asked.

"Judging by this snow storm, there was a similar response to this at your office. Right, Dad?"

"Well, you could say that. So, how's your plan going in the Digital World?"

"So far so good. They're doing as expected," she answered her father.

"Think they'll qualify for the final test?"

"I hope they will, Mariana's, Uraina's and Ange's future depends on it."

Uraina? Mr. Chaikary thought.

"They will. They've got to," Kamari reassured strongly even though she had a peculiar feeling of uneasiness.



Meanwhile in Ken's room, Wormmon and Ken stumbled upon some peculiar unwrapped gifts from senders that Ken's unaware of although there was some written information inside the boxes, especially on the gift tags.

"Hope you have a fantastic birthday, Ken. Ange," Wormmon read out loud to Ken.

"Who's Ange?"

"I don't know," Wormmon answered. "Maybe an angel?"

"Here's another one. It's from someone called Aurora. May this birthday be as joyful as you," Ken read out loud to his Digimon. "Hey, Wormmon. It comes with skis and ski lessons."

"Great! But what are skis?"

"Never mind, here's another one. May you finally be reassured from this birthday on with this gift of the past, signed Kamari," Ken read out loud to Wormmon as he found an old tape inside the tape recorder. "Who's Kamari?"

Wormmon pushed the play button and the forgotten message was played once again.

"What?! My brother knew Uraina?"
