Notes: I am getting into Angel now. I think Spike is funny. "Oh bloody Hell." right before he gets smashed to smithereens. And then theres the old adage, "The good ones are always Gay." (laughs hysterically) They can be gay all they want baby!
Time Warp Ch 5 Gabumon's Dream
Laughter. Simple laughter woke Kathy out of her sound sleep. She woke up. Blancamon, AeroRaidramon's in-training form was snuggled against her. "Where?"
As if on cue there was a scratch on the door. Then it opened. A Gabumon came shuffling in. "Hi!" He said cheerfully. "Togemon Sensei told me to bring you some food."
"Thanks." Kathy said, sitting up. There was a bandage on her forehead, she realized. "How long have I been out?"
"A couple of days. In case you need it, the necessary is down the hall on your right." Gabumon said, setting down the tray in Kathy's lap. "Blancamon already ate."
"Good." Kathy ate, voraciously. Her stomach seemed to be roaring at her.
As she ate, Gabumon watched her. "Um... This might seem rude to you, but are you a Digidestined?"
Kathy almost choked on her food. She swallowed and asked, with more composure. "What's a digidestined?"
"Well, its said that when the digital world is in danger, the digidestined will appear and save us. And the digital world IS in danger now, from Cherubimon, so I figured..." Gabumon said, shuffling his feet on the ground.
"I am a digidestined yes." Kathy said gently. One of the digidestined had a Gabumon for a Partner. Could this be the same Gabumon?
"Then please." Gabumon begged. "Tell me, if you know, how do you become a digidestined?"
"Well..." Kathy said thoughtfully. "I don't know for sure." Which was a lie. "But I suspect that the Master Guardian, Gennai, would know. He lives in Guardian Castle, and it's his job to find digidestined and match them with a partner digimon."
"Do you know how to get there?" Gabumon begged. "That's the only thing that I want to be, once I graduate, a Digidestined!"
"I don't know how to get here from there... but I'll bet the Trailmon would know!" This was almost certainly the same Gabumon. "But don't the young digimon leave this school once they digivolve?"
"I'm an exception." Gabumon said, looking shyly at the floor. "I have the ability to digivolve at will. The others don't... so... I could leave any time I want to... And the school is going to be moved soon, to someplace called Primary Village."
"I see, I think, you don't want to leave this place behind." Kathy said thoughtfully, taking a bite out of the apple on her tray.
"Not just that! I... I never got along well with the other digimon." Gabumon said, ducking his head sadly. "They're afraid of me."
"I can't see why. You look like a pretty nice digimon to me." Kathy smiled at him. She sipped at the mulled cider. There must be an orchard nearby, because the cider was delicious.
There was another knock. "Come in!" Kathy called.
Zoe came in. "Oh! You're awake! Thank Goodness!"
"What time is it?"
"Um..." Zoe checked her watch. "Almost 5, the students are eating, and then we'll have a bonfire."
"Great!" Kathy exclaimed. "Um... may I get up now?"
"If it doesn't give you a headache, the Wizardmon who healed you said to stay out of battle for a few days."
"Okay." Kathy stood; a bit wobbly legged, and mimed a fencing lunge. "Yes, I think I just need to stretch my legs."
"Great! Come meet Togemon! She's my teacher! She's the best!" Gabumon practically dragged Kathy out the door.
When she'd finished eating and her needs were met, Gabumon led Kathy into the dining hall. "Togemon-sensei!" He called.
"AH! Gabumon!" Togemon strode over to them. "Oh, you're awake. Gabumon, go play."
"Togemon, I have a question for you. Are you aware of what Gabumon wants to do with his life?"
"You mean that he wants to be a digidestined in one of Gennai's projects, yes, but we don't know where Gennai lives."
"Then, would you mind if I flagged him a Trailmon? I'm an apprentice guardian, so I can give him directions to the castle."
"Great!" Togemon exclaimed. "Would you mind, Guardian, giving a lesson tomorrow."
"I would that I could, Togemon-sensei, I think I can sing a ballad or two, but I'm not to disclose my status to the Legendary Warriors, and to as few digimon as possible."
"Oh, that's fine then, there's a story time that I suppose you can do." Togemon smiled. "Can't give away guild secrets I suppose."
"Sorry Togemon." Kathy said in apology.
~that night~
Kathy sat, away from the bombfire, harmonica in hand. She began to play, softly, sadly. Everything from blues, to folk, and finally, a sad, old tune that she didn't remember.
"That's pretty." Gabumon said with a smile, sitting down next to her.
"Thanks." Kathy said softly. "Togemon said its alright if I flag a Trailmon to take you to Guardian Castle."
"GREAT!" Gabumon exclaimed. "I hope that the partner I get plays Harmonica too!"
/If you only knew./ "Oh, I'm sure he or she will know how to play something, maybe even guitar!" /That was a prophecy if I ever heard it!/ Kathy thought, with an inward chuckle. She had never met Matt Ishida, but she had played a lot of his music and even written ballads about his exploits.
"I hope so!" Gabumon exclaimed.
"KATHY!" Gigimon, Yaamon and Viximon came bouncing over, along with a lot of fresh Digimon. "Play for us Kathy! Play for us!"
"Oh I suppose." Kathy said with a radiant grin. She slipped her guitar strap, the one with all the crests on it, around her neck. Kathy tuned the strings, reveling in the rich sound of the instrument that was Piedmon's last masterpiece. Then, after a little thought, she spoke. "This song is a very old one from my world. And a very sad one at that. But fitting to wish an old friend on his way."
"Freight train freight train going so fast
Freight train freight train going so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know where I've gone"
Kouji's head snapped up. Zoe smiled warmly up at her. Junpei grinned like an idiot. Takuya listened with more manners than Kathy would have thought, and Tommy started jumping up and down, laughing as he recognized the tune.
"When I die Lord bury me deep
Way down on old Chestnut Street
So I can hear old Number Nine
As she goes rolling by"
Togemon smiled at her, and Gabumon scooted closer. Lots of the in-training Digimon suddenly managed to find seats next to her to listen. And Kathy could have sworn that she saw Kouji tapping his fingers in time with the music.
"When I'm dead and in my grave
No more good times here I'll crave
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them I've gone to sleep"
"Freight train freight train going so fast
Freight train freight train going so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know where I've gone"
Kathy smiled at Gabumon, indicating with her eyes only that the song was meant for him. Gabumon smiled, and Kathy saw the tears streaming from his own eyes. She nodded, and then tuned up again, and struck the chords for the Spirit Naming Song. "Since the Legendary Warriors have returned, I figure its high time somebody played this number, and discovered JUST HOW MANY SPIRITS ARE THERE?" She asked, spreading her arms dramatically. "This is the Spirit Naming Song..."

Now why were the other warriors, except Tommy, who thought the whole thing was cool, staring at her in amazement? Bokumon was frantically flipping through his book, and Neemon was fast asleep.
It was that night, as Kathy and Gabumon went to the hill overlooking the trailmon tracks to wait, that Kouji first formed his suspicions about Kathy.
