This is the second chapter of the series. I hope you enjoy.
CHAPTER TWO:
GETTING TO KNOW YOU DIGIFRIENDS.
** Well, we have been traveling for a week now and we really haven't gotten a chance to talk. We have been fighting most of the time. With other Digimon not with each other. But I'm sure that even friends can fight. **
The twelve companions were walking in the forest and were actually bored. Yura was curious of the others. " Hey, John, tell us about yourself. you know your turnons, turnoffs, age that sort of thing."
John looked at Yura. Well I'm 17. my turnons are cute, strong women, and Yu-Gi-Oh. Anybody that plays that game is okay in my book. Let's see, my turnoffs are cheerleaders, racism, bigotry, and disrespect for women. My father is the Secretary of Defense, my stepmother is an intern at the CIA, and my mother is an intern at the White House. And don't say a goddamn thing about Monica Lewinski because I have gotten enough flack about that. But just for the record my mothers name is Maria Finn."
" What does the P stand for in your name?" Yura asked.
" Well if you really want to know it is actually a joke. My dad wanted me to have a name that would stand out so he made my middle name Pennywise." He replied.
" How is that a joke?" Travis asked.
" Funny thing. Just before I was born my dad just finished the book IT by Stephen King. So he thought giving me the name of the villain, in this case Pennywise the Clown, then I would stand out. But about two years ago I picked up that particular book and read it. Then I saw the movie. I was not proud of my name after that. Knowing what I was named after kinda makes me a little nervous." He turns to Yura. " So tell me about yourself."
Yura smiled, " Well I'm 17. My turnons are gore, Sci-fi, and horror. I'm an anarchist."
John interrupted, " Wow I thought I was the only anarchy in the group. Nice to know I'm not."
She continued, " My turnoffs are cute and fuzzy. My father works for a branch of the Yakuza. He controls a slum district in lower Tokyo." She turns to Travis, " Tell us about yourself Travis."
Travis was looking down, " Okay. I'm 16. My turnons are Yu-Gi-Oh, video games, and strong women. My turnoffs are cheerleaders and wanabe cheers."
John looks at Travis and smiles, " Amen, Man."
Travis continues, " I really don't have any connections to the government. And I come from a small town in northern Arizona called Payson. And so does Daniel. But nobody really knows anything about him except that he is 16 and he plays Duel Monsters with the rest of the group. So don't ask him about himself he won't answer you." Travis turns to Aki, " So, Aki, how about you."
Aki smiles then frowns. " Well I'm 18. My turnons are fuzzy, cute, and girls." Everyone except John shot back in surprise. He looks at her and sees that she was frowning. She continues. " My turnoffs are gore, Sci-fi, and horror. Oh and my father works for the CIA." She turns to Marie. " And for the finally: Marie Jarret exposes herself."
Marie stands up straight, " Well I'm seventeen. My turnons are cute, fuzzy, gore, horror. I guess you can say I got the best of both worlds there. My turnoffs are jocks, bullies, and guys who think that they have a superior ego just because they can do something good." She smiles and then stretches her arms out and yawns. " You know we have been walking for a long time. I think we should take a break. Let's split up into six groups. The humans pair with the Digimon and then go find something to eat." Everybody agreed and they split up.
John and Cheermon were walking towards a body of water and then Cheermon stopped. " What is it, Cheermon?" John asked.
" Well I want to talk to you about what happened a week ago. When you kissed me. Why did you kiss me?" She said.
" Well, it's because I'm attracted to you. If I'm attracted to you then I'm going to make a pass. It's human nature. But tell me. What is the Digimon lifecycle?" he replied and asked.
" Well we have mothers and fathers and we are born just like humans. We grow old and we age just like humans."
" See, there is no real difference in our lives except that we live in different dimensions. Though that is a pretty big gap our lives are still the same. We still live the same way. You see now that there is no problem in me being attracted to you."
Cheermon looked at him and saw that he was smiling, " But when you humans were talking about yourselves you said that you didn't like cheerleaders. But you like me."
" Well I may not like cheerleaders but that doesn't mean I can't like you. you are a cheerleader by your genetic code. You can't help it. I understand that, and I hope that you can, too. You being a cheer type Digimon isn't a flaw, which most humans would see. But I see it as an advantage. And soon I think that you will see." He puts his hand on her cheek and feels it's warmth. He moves his head next to hers and kisses her. But the kiss was interrupted. " I hear a cry. It sounds like it is coming from that lake over there." They walk to where John heard the cry and saw that Aki was sitting there with her knees in her chest and her arms around her knees. She was crying. " I thought I heard a cry." He walks up to Aki and put his hand on her shoulder. " Why are you crying?" he asks her.
" It's because of what I said earlier. The way everyone looked at me. you didn't look at me that way. Why?"
" Well," John began. " My situation isn't that much different than yours. You may be attracted to girls but that doesn't make it wrong. Just like I am attracted to Cheermon, your attracted to girls. It doesn't make it wrong just because you are in a minority of women in the world. As a matter of fact there are more in the world than you think. Because my mother, Stepmother, and Father work for the White House and the CIA I get to know a lot of girls. Because I like to make friends with everyone people trust me. They confide in me and in that I learn a lot of secrets about people. Things like past misdeeds and even people admitting that are gay, both men and women. But they trust me with this information because I am their friend. Just like you have to trust your five. no 11 friends that are going to be with you on this adventure. You never know one of the other two girls might be just like you. Or you may even fall in love with a Digimon. But the thing you need to know is that you needent be ashamed of what you are. No I think I said it wrong. You shouldn't be ashamed of who you are. Just like I'm not ashamed of being attracted to a Digimon." Aki began to cry even more and turned around and hugged John. Then Cheermon hugged Aki.
Aki smiled, " You know, you're right." As they were getting off the ground John looked at his Digivice.
He turned to Cheermon and then back at the Digivice. " you said that I can ask this thing for what I need and it will give it to me if it can, right." He asked.
" That's right," Cheermon replied.
" So if I were to ask it for a couple of canteens to fill with water will it give it to me?"
" Yes I believe it will."
John looked at the Digivice and smiled. " Anarchy, may I please have two canteens for water please?" when he finished two little glowing orbs came out of the Digivice. When the light dissipated two canteens were floating in the air. He grabbed them and filled them with water from the lake. " We had better get back to the others." He looked at his Digivice. " Anarchy, send a message to the others that I have some water and I will meet them where we separated." His Digivice acknowledged it by blinking twice. " Okay you three we need to get back." As he walked away Cheermon, Aki, and Arukumon followed.
After 15 minutes of waiting the other four groups showed up with berries, bananas, and other fruits. Arukumon and Cheermon were talking with each other as well as John and Aki. John smiled and looked at all of the food. " Anyone for a feast?" everyone cheered and began to eat. He put his hands in his pockets and pulled out a deck of dueling cards. " Anyone up for a duel?" Daniel and Travis raised their hands.
They pulled out their decks and set up a clearing for a playing field. Yura was smiling. She walked over to Aki and pulled her aside to just beyond the tree line. Aki was curious. " How can I help you, Yura?"
Yura sighed. " Well I remember earlier in the day you said that you were attracted to girls. All my life I couldn't have a boyfriend because I was unsure of who I was attracted to boys or girls. Because I have never met anyone who was attracted to girls I could never tell the truth. I was wondering if you could help me."
Aki was expressionless. " How can I help you?" she asked.
" You can kiss me. if I don't like it then I guess I will know the truth." Aki put her hand on Yura's face. She could feel that she was embarrassed by the warmth of her cheeks. She was blushing. And so was Aki. Aki put her head next to Yura's face and kissed her on the lips. It lasted for four seconds then Aki pulled away.
" How was that? Did you like that?" Aki asked her.
" I did." She replied. " I guess that means I'm like you. Attracted to girls, I mean."
" You don't need to say it like that. You should be proud of who you are. Don't be ashamed be proud." They turned around and walked to the clearing where the rest of the group was.
Travis looked at them, " Where were you guys?" they only smiled and sat down. Travis turned back to the group and began to play again. He drew a card from his deck and looked at it. " All right. I play prohibition on Moisture Creature. Then I will sacrifice a Muka Muka from my hand and play the Dark Illusions Ritual card to play Relinquished." He looks at his digimon. " Hey you and this card have the same name. You are Relinquishmon and my cards name is Relinquished." He turned back to the duel. " I will absorb your Gaia The Fierce Knight, John and attack you with it, killing all of your life points. Looks like I win."
** We all got to know each other a little better. Even a couple of romances have started. But will they last. I certainly hope so. But as for Cheermon and me, I know that will last for a long time. Don't ask me how I know, I just know. **
