Through the Years:

A Story about Me

By: Fordina

Chapter 22- Couldn't Be Happier

Gods, school is finally over. It's been a… different year. I mean… it's not every year that you meet the Anime character of your dreams… Um… does that sound as weird to anyone else as it does to me?

Well, I'm here at the park near our school. It's just Jen, Zaira, and me. Well actually… Taichi and Ken are supposed to join us soon.

I never pictured myself as a happy person… but I'm actually happy, very happy in fact. I've… started to get along with my mother again. And I'm even tolerating Kevin. Even if I don't want to. But… he makes my mum happy. And I like it when she's happy. Because, it makes me happy. [A/N: Sorta]

It's been almost a full year since I met Ken for real. And I couldn't be gladder that it did happen! Everything if going great, and I couldn't be more pleased!

Zaira has now met all the Digidestined, and is sorry she ever doubted me! But again… can you really blame her? Anime characters coming to life? Or… coming to our dimension… or… Oh I still do not get how he got here… But it doesn't really matter anymore, because he's here, and I don't plan on getting rid of him any time soon.

Jen is still with Taichi, although she hates it when I call him that… which I don't get because it is his full name but… oh well. As far as my knowledge goes it's going on two years for those two… and I couldn't be happier for her.

All three of us are still friends, obviously, and do something together practically every chance we get. Which isn't a lot mind you since both Jen and Zaira have jobs. I'll get one soon… well… some day anyway.

As for me… I'm happy that's all I really know to say. And before I was never really happy, and like I said, never pictured myself being happy. But now… I have two great friends… fourteen if you count all the Digidestined. Oh yeah… we're all buds. We go down to the Digital World often to hang with them. Sometimes Ken even just takes me to his world. It's always so cool… well c'mon! You get to become an Anime character! What more is there to like?!

And I've kept my promise, and I plan to keep it forever more. Like I said, I don't break promises that I make to people. Well… okay so there have been exceptions. But I had good reasons! Reasons that I will not go into right now… or ever for that matter.

"Hey TL!" Zaira called waving a hand in front of my face.

Blinking my eyes I snap out of my trance like state and look up at Zaira who was holding a slurpee is her left hand.

"Yeah?" I asked once I found my voice.

"Well… when you spaced out we all went and got us some slurpee's," I blinked again, had I spaced out for that long? "I was just wondering if you wanted a sip of mine," She said handing me the… what was that?

"Um… what's in it?" I asked cringing as I saw something float around in it.

"Oops… That's Jen's. I think she put skittles in it or something… I don't know," Eww… Well, Jen did always have an odd taste.

Oh! And did I tell you that some of my memory is coming back? I can actually remember some of the art class that I met Jen in!

"Ohh…" I said trying to hold back my disgust. "Um… No thanks, I'll leave that to Jen…" I said pushing it away.

Zaira shrugged, "'Kay," and walked over to Jen.

I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder, "How ya doing?" Ken whispered in my ear.

"I'm fine… just… doing a re-cap," I told him.

"Oh?" He raised his eye brow's, "A re-cap of what?" He asked.

"Not much… just… this year and… stuff…" I told him.

"Stuff?" He asked again.

"Yeah, stuff…" I told him leaning on his shoulder.

"Mind elaborating the word 'stuff' for me?"

"Actually… I do mind," I grinned and glanced up at him. He pouted, "Oh don't give me that! You know that look doesn't work on me!" Even as I said it I could feel my walls crumbling. He was just too cute. So, in saying that, I pinched his cheeks, "Oh," I gushed, "You are just TOO cute when you do that!" It's funny because he pouted even more as he rubbed his cheeks, hehe… they're turning red.

"Aww! Look at the two love birds!" Taichi yelled his arm slung protectively around Jen's shoulder.

"Yeah… like you're the one to talk!" Zaira yelled from behind. Tai blushed and looked at her, glaring. Jen nudged him in the ribs.

"Ow!" He cried.

"Don't glare at her!" She hissed. It's all a very funny sight actually, in saying that, I start to laugh. Jen looks over to me and glares, I can see something in Tai's eyes…

"Don't glare at her!" Tai tsk'ed as he smacked Jen upside the head.

"Hey!" She yelled as he started running down the small field. She ran after him, "Tai Kamiya!" She exclaimed running after him. Ahh the energy of soccer players. Wish I had it.

Well… if you thought I was laughing before… I was REALLY laughing now… they looked… too funny for words.

All in all, I guess it wasn't that bad a year… I mean looking back at all I did… all I saw… all the people that I met… even if I could do without a few of them. And I'm happy. I know I've said this too many times already, but I'm going to say it again. I'm happy. And I'll be happy as long as I have Ken by my side. As well as my friends… Wow, it feels nice to say the word friends and not just mean maybe two or three people. It's a good feeling really.

I look up at Ken and smile, he smiles back and leans in closer, closing my eyes we share a small sweet kiss. It's bliss.

"Love you," I said snuggling up to him.

"Love you too Traci, love you too…" He murmured kissing the top of my head.

Yes… I'm happy. And I plan to stay like this for a while.

Owari!

And that's it folks. So… what did you think? I'm sure it could have been better, but then again, once you read through something that you wrote you can always find some way to scrutinize it. Which I've done many a times.

But that's it for this one. I hope you all liked it… and if you did I would appreciate a review or two. ^o^
