My meeting place pt. 1 stage 4
Junpei and Tomoki grabbed their things and got off the plane with Himeko, Kouichi, Merr, and Kouji. Tomoki smiled and hugged Himeko. When he let go, he waved to everyone and caught up to Junpei. He was on his way out, when he turned around.
"I'll remember the trick you taught me. Thanks so much!" he said as he left their sight. Suddenly, a little furry anima flew into Himeko's arms.
"JUNAMON!" she shrieked. Junamon lifted her head and screamed,
"HIMEKO HUMAN!"
"Where's Brooke? Is she here with you?" Himeko asked. Merr looked at the kitten-sized digimon.
"What's that? It can TALK!" she whispered. Junamon's ear twitched as she explained impatiently,
"I am a digimon, digital monster. We live in the digital world and blah, blah, blah. I guess you're not doing your job, Himeko human. Oh, Brooke isn't here. She's in the future, with her mama and papa."
"Oh, I see. Then, why are you in the past?" Kouji and Kouichi stared at the little fuzzy ball of fluff.
"What are you both talking about?" Kouichi asked, puzzled.
"Who's Brooke?" added Kouji. Himeko shook her head.
"I can't tell you right now. The time isn't right. You'll see when I think it's the right time,"
"Wait, how do you know Junamon?" Himeko smiled.
"We go way, way back to the digital world. I am Sulamon, you know." Kouichi's eyes widened.
"Wait. I thought you didn't have memory of the digital world?!"
"When I awoke as Sulamon, I could remember the past. Junamon is ranked with Galaxiamon and Pheopomon. She's a guardian."
"Yup, Yup! I'm the Guardian of Love and Friendship!" Merr looked really confused.
"I don't get what you're all talking about," she said quietly.
"We have to fill you in on what your destiny will be like, Merr," Kouji said as she turned to Junamon.
"Now, who's Brooke?" he asked. Junamon giggled.
"She's closer to you than you know, let's say."
"What do you mean?" kouji said. He was obviously lost.
"I'll tell you when the time is right," said Himeko. "For now, we need to get on the plane. Wanna come with us, Junamon?"
"Yup yup! I'll be your stuffed animal!" they went to the platform and got on the plane once more.
::..:://New York City\\::..::
Takuya, Izumi, and Angie were in a hotel room discussing their strategy as to finding the right juvenile in the big city.
"I'll go around Central Park area." Takuya suggested. He looked to Izumi who was spacing out. Angie waved a hand in her face.
"Hello? Are you okay? You're acting very strange right now,"
"Oh! Uh huh. I'm okay," she murmured. Angie smacked Izumi's back.
"LOOK ALIVE!" she screamed. " We get to go around New York City! Isn't that fun?" Takuya covered his ears and yelled,
"DON'T YELL LIKE THAT! You'll get us in trouble," Angie sighed,
"Well, look who's yelling now," Takuya sighed.
"We need to find that kid! Let's go. Come on, Pheopomon." Pheopomon crawled out of the kennel and sat at Takuya's feet. A big flash of light surrounded him and his form changed. He was now a human. He had jet-black hair with yellow streaks. He had baggy pants that were ripped at the knees. He wore a red shirt and white wristbands.
"I'm now Phillip. I'm going to go check on Himeko, to see if they're okay," and with that, Pheopomon sprouted his wings and flew really fast through the window. As Takuya watched Pheopomon go, he sighed and turned to Angie. She shrugged and went back to pestering Izumi, who was off in her own little world. She began to murmur to herself.
"I hope I see you again. If I don't I'll break down and die,"
::..:://Austin\\::..::
" Well, Tomoki, we're on our own, and we need to find that kid. Let's go look around here before we start our search."
"Okay! Can we get something to eat? I wanna get something to eat right now." his stomach grumbled. Junpei smiled and nodded,
"Alright! We can find the best fast foods in America!" They bounded down the street until Junpei smacked into someone.
"Oh, sorry. I wasn't lookin' where I was goin'," he looked down and saw a boy. He had a strong accent and his voice was kind and quiet. He was about Tomoki's age and he was wearing a hat with a Yankees sign on it. The boy had light brown hair and hazel eyes. His clothes: a white shirt and jeans shorts, were dirty, like he was running away and hadn't packed anything to bring with him. "I'm sorry, I was to blame. I was runnin' in the street," Junpei held out his hand.
"Here, let me help you," the boy took Junpei's hand and got up.
"I'm Max. Who're you guys?"
"I'm Tomoki, and this is Junpei," Tomoki said as he pointed to Junpei. "How old are you, Max?"
"I'm 10. I know I look much younger, but really, I'm just short for my age," Junpei nodded.
"Do you live around here?"
"Oh yeah. I live right up the street."
"So you know this area pretty well, huh?"
"Yes, actually,"
"Could you direct us to a fast food place, please?! We're starving." Max laughed. His laugh was strong and clear, unlike his speaking voice, which wavered.
"Sure. There's a Mc Donald's right up the way, there. Y'all want me to show you? I'm goin' by there so I could show you." He said. "It's no trouble,"
"Yes, Please! I'm afraid we'll get lost." Tomoki nodded.
"Why are you going up that way?" asked Junpei.
"My little brother needs to be picked up from daycare. My mom's really busy right now so I gotta pick him up. I'm already late, but they're all used to it." he shrugged. "Well, let's get movin' then, I am already late as it is. Keep up with me, 'kay?" with that, he sprinted up the street through the crowds of people, with Junpei and Tomoki not far behind.
::..:://Plane\\::..::
Himeko held Junamon. Junamon looked up to Himeko and whispered,
"I don't get what's so special about air planes they're-" she was interrupted by Himeko who took a mochi ((small rice cake)) and stuffed it in Junamon's mouth.
"I told you not to talk! No moving, squirming, tapping."
"Ven. Houwmi spoooosed choo?" she said with a full mouth.
"You can chew, Junamon. Go ahead," she giggled. "Just don't make big chewing noises." All the while, Merr stared at Junamon.
"Wutchoo lookin' at?" Junamon whispered to Merr as she chewed. She spit out little pieces of the mochi as she talked. "I'm eatin' here, human,"
"Junamon! Don't be rude!" Himeko scolded. " She's just curious."
"We'll, curiosity killed the gatomon. Why won't you tell her what she's gotta do?! She's starting to scare me,"
"Oh fine." She turned to Merr, who had a blank expression. "Your destiny. is to save the digital world. You have to find the spirits again. You have to fight Cherubimon again. Then all will be well and you guys can go home."
"What's that supposed to mean?! I'll have to stay there till we defeat that. guy?!?!" Merr shrieked. Junamon swallowed the remaining mochi in her mouth and whispered harshly,
"Calm down! You're taking needed years off your own life! Time will be frozen here once you're in the digital world. It's not like you're going to miss some totally big moment of you're life story!! Jeez!" Himeko nodded.
"She's right. Nothing will go wrong in this world. Just save the other one and you can come back home again!"
"Wait. then why are we traveling around like this?"
"We need to find the rest of the Chosen Children, which are part of your group. You'll all work together to uncover the Spirits and defeat Cherubimon once and for all! So far we have Angie and you. It will be much easier because you know what spirits you already have! You just need to find them."
"You make it sound so simple. like a game," Merr sighed as she folded her arms over her chest. "What's the catch?"
"OH, no catch. You'll just have to fight his evil minions, not get eaten and free the slave digimon. Very simple! Can you handle it, Human?" Junamon jeered. "Can you? Or will you let Cherubimon take your life? Ahahahah!" Merr glared at Junamon who was making faces at her. Merr finally snapped.
"Oh, will you shut up, you little worthless mink!" she screamed. Everyone around her began to stare, including Kouji and Kouichi. Junamon lay lifeless and unblinking, like a stuffed toy. Then the intercom buzzed and the familiar voice came back.
"We will now be arriving in Seattle, Washington. Please fasten your seatbelts and prepare for landing. Thank you," With everyone distracted, Merr grabbed Junamon and began poking her.
"This is all your fault!! That was so embarrassing! What is your problem?" Junamon tried to scratch Merr as she poked.
"You're my problem! You're just a little wanna-be! I can't trust you with the lives of all my friends and my home! I don't trust you," Himeko intervened and grabbed Junamon away from Merr.
"Alright you two. Settle down. We're going to be landing in a few minutes. Fasten your seatbelt, Merr. Junamon, be quiet!"
"Alright then." Junamon jumped to the window and watched the clouds go by. Himeko watched also. Her eyes were watery and she had a sad smile.
"Himeko? Why are you crying?" Merr asked as she looked into her eyes. The plane began to loose altitude.
"I'm just worried, that's all."
"About?"
"My friends. They moved to Washington when I was 7. I never saw them again. They send me mail and pictures, but I never send pictures of me. They were like my brothers. We're supposed to meet at Steel Lake Park in Federal Way."
"Oh, so they're guys? If you ask me, guys are a little less judgmental about how girls look. Sure they like a girl with nice thighs or something, but once they get to know you, they know there's much more to us than looks."
"I know. They said that, too." Himeko sniffed. "I want everything to like before, when we would play in my backyard and have fun, but I don't know what else to do. It's so hard to find out that your friends have changes and nothing is like before."
"Yes, that's true, but we grow up, too. No one can stay a child forever. That's just the way things are."
"But they seem exactly the same. When they write me, it seems like we haven't been apart ever. Now, I'm meeting them. I hope it all doesn't change."
"Well, you can hope, but don't get them too high. You might end up disappointed. I don't want you to get hurt. So please, don't hope too much." Suddenly, the plane hit the runway and soon skidded to a stop. "I didn't close my eyes once, or tense up, or feel like throwing up! There was nothing for me to be afraid of, huh?" Himeko wiped the tears from her eyes.
"No, nothing at all. There's nothing for me to be afraid of either. Let's just be happy, okay?" Merr nodded.
"Okay! We'll be happy for the rest of the day!" Everyone began to move towards the exit. Kouji and Kouichi began taking the stuff out of the carry on section.
"We're here. Let's go then," Kouji said as he lugged his bag to the door. Junamon jumped into Himeko's bag and they all made their way to the door. Himeko stood and looked at the tunnel in front of her.
"This is it. Our search begins,"
Junpei and Tomoki grabbed their things and got off the plane with Himeko, Kouichi, Merr, and Kouji. Tomoki smiled and hugged Himeko. When he let go, he waved to everyone and caught up to Junpei. He was on his way out, when he turned around.

"I am a digimon, digital monster. We live in the digital world and blah, blah, blah. I guess you're not doing your job, Himeko human. Oh, Brooke isn't here. She's in the future, with her mama and papa."
