// Ah, Christmas comes but once a year. Obviously. Toei Animation and Saban Incorporated have the pleasure of owning digimon. Which, by process of elimination, means that I don't.

rendezvouschapter three ::
what do i want for christmas? a damn mobile phone!
* * * * *
"TAI! YOU'RE PAYING FOR THIS!"
You would think it was Kari shouting this, but it is actually Ms. Kamiya. About the phone bill.
"Tai, be serious. You know
that Sora has a corded phone and not just a mobile," said
Kari.
"Yup, but phoning Sora on her mobile just makes it... more
mobile," said Tai.
"I'm not even gonna try and argue 'cus it would be
pointless," said Kari.
"Why?"
"You can't even do that properly"
"Oooh, I'm gonna get you!"
You could imagine all this happening in a small apartment in Odaiba at 9:30 in the morning, on christmas eve? Tough, I know. Then they start chasing each other. I dunno how the parents cope.
* * * * *
"So, she hasn't called yet?"
asked Matt
"Not a sign."
"She will bro."
"Yea, so you say"
Not a sign of Kari phoning, so TK was back into the state again. Plopping himself on his bed, he flicked on the radio. A song came on........
Our love will last forever,
True love
True love never dies
We'll always be together
True love
Our love will last forever,
True love
True love never dies
We'll always be together
True love
The passion was put back. The smile came back and he was... well... TK again.
"Wow, I should listen to the radio more often" he said to himself.
A cold, chilling wind came in from the window. TK walked over to close it, but was amazed by what he saw.
Two words... White Christmas. Snow, and I mean lots of it, came down heavily. Meteoroligists had predicted this for a while. It was a freak snow blizzard. Due to the longitude and latitude on Odaiba, this snowstorm brewed up once every couple of years and hit around late December. TK remembered it well from 2 years ago. It had knocked out all the power lines and telephone cables.
"S**T! PHONE CABLES!"
Sure enough, in about 30 minutes the phone cables had been knocked out of commission. he was cursing himself all over.
'Why? Why? Jeez I'm blaming myself for nothing. It wasn't my fault. But, why? why here? why now? why so COMPLICATED?!' TK was shouting at himself in his mind.
* * * * *
"Frickin' phones!" Tai was starting to take a fit.
"Can you not live without talking to Sora for, hhhmmm, how long? 3 milliseconds?" said Kari. She wasn't in the best of moods herself, what with her brother and her admirer (hopefully).
"I'm oo...kay. I can take it ....................... I CAN'T TAKE IT!" Tai was starting to freak. Luckily, his mother came and sorted him out. Like so many mothers do.
"You sit there and just
watch TV and do NOT... I repeat, DO NOT think about SORA, S-O-R-A
SORA. Now, that's an order, got it?"
"Yes ma'am" Tai sat there eyes glued to the screen. And
it worked. His mom always knew what to do.
* * * * *
It was night now, and still no phone call, obviously because there were no phones. Tomorrow would be Christmas Day and that was the day that TK loved the most. But, he would be unhappy, because he still han't heard from Kari. It was fate that held them both together. Would a miracle happen? Not very likely, but who knows. Heck, I don't! Come back next time for another Rendezvous.
