Chapter 3: New Friends
(Tera's POV)
The minute I walked into my sixth period class, I almost got the wind knocked out of me by Jenashu. Apparently Tai mentioned Konekomon to her and the others and Jen was ecstatic, to say the least, that I had a Digimon meaning I must be a Digidestine like them.
I'm not sure if I am though. After all, I don't have a Digivice thing that Tai talked about. Maybe Konekomon belongs to some other kid who has a Digivice. If I never find a Digivice then maybe Konekomon really isn't my Digimon. Which means I'd-
"Miss O'Riley, please read the poem on page one twenty."
"Uh, ok." I stood up from my desk and read.
*******
"Tai! Wait up!"
After class, I hurried after Tai. He stopped and turned.
"Tera?"
I let out an exhausted breath. "I had to fight my way through a current of students and almost lost you!"
He blinked at me. "What for?"
I had forgot for a moment why I was trying to catch up to him, but when I remembered, I began to feel embarrassed. "I just wanted to- to say sorry for, you know, yelling at you the other day. I shouldn't have gotten so mad."
He gave me a friendly smile. "It's ok! I'm used to it! Jen IS my cousin after all!"
"Well, I'm sorry."
"No problem. You had every right to be mad at me."
'Huh?' I blinked. 'Maybe he isn't such a bad guy.' I felt my face grow warm from embarrassment as I looked down at the ground.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard the busses pull out. I turned to watch them leave. My heart pounded. "Damnit!"
Tai blinked. "What's wrong?"
I hung my head and sighed heavily. "I missed my bus."
"Will you be able to get home?"
"I have no ride and I still don't know the way to the building. I'm supposed to be learning the way by riding the bus but I kind of tend to fall asleep on the bus. Car rides make me tired."
Tai laughed. "I see!"
I blushed.
"Well, I can walk you then."
"Huh?"
"I know how to get to Cody's building because it's also the same building TK lives in." he smiled.
"Oh. Well, you don't have to." I trailed off.
"Well, if you don't want me to." He trailed off.
"No! I do!" I choked on those words. "Well, if you don't mind, that is."
"No problem!" he smiled.
I felt relieved. Yes I missed my bus, but I was still going to be able to get home. "Thanks alot."
"Don't thank me yet! It's been a while since I've been to TK's building!" He ginned nervously.
I sweatdropped.
*******
As it turns out, Tai was only joking (thank goodness) and knew perfectly well how to get to TK's building though he hadn't gone there in a while.
I walked quietly with him as he occasionally pointed out street signs and buildings as he told me which direction to go. We soon made it to the apartment building. As we crossed the street he told be about the traffic. "Remember to be careful when crossing the streets any time after four because that's when traffic picks up.
I nodded. "Oh, ok."
He walked me to the outside entrance of the building. "Well, here you are! Safe and sound!"
I felt myself smile politely. "Thank you."
"No problem! I like you better when you're nice." He smiled.
I blinked at him and blushed. My blush got redder as my embarrassment turned to anger. "What's that supposed to mean?!" My brow narrowed down.
He cringed at my voice. "I just mean that you're a lot more fun to be around when you're nice, as in, not yelling at me!"
"I was wrong! You are a jerk!"
He slightly rolled his eyes. "Is that all you can say about me?"
"Nope! 'Jerk' pretty much sums it up! That, and 'baka'!"
He looked at me with a puzzled expression. "How much Japanese do you know?"
"A few words." I admitted.
He laughed.
"What is so funny?!" I demanded.
"I think it's funny that of the little Japanese words you know, 'baka' is one of them!"
"I also know 'sayonara'!" I fumed as I hurried to enter the building. "Sayonara!" I shouted angrily.
"Ja ne!" He shouted back.
*******
(Tai's POV)
"BAKA!" I heard her shouted as the door closed behind her.
I cringed slightly. "Boy, does she have a fuse!"
"I really don't think she likes you, man."
I turned around to find Yamato. "Yama? What are you doing here?"
"My mother and brother live here, duh! Mom wanted me to come over for dinner tonight after band practice but we canceled so here I am! Just in time to see this little lovers' spat."
"Shut up, Yamato! I didn't do anything and she got mad!"
"I know. She called you a jerk and a baka." He smiled.
"I'm not a jerk!" I shouted with exasperation.
"Yes you are. And if you want her to like you, then stop being one."
"I didn't DO anything!" I hung my head.
"Maybe to the untrained eye." He said while pointing to one of his blue eyes. I swear sometimes that hair gel gets to Yamato's brain.
"You see, you said something that you meant in a nice way but she took it the WRONG way. It's all in the wording, my friend."
"And you're such an expert on talking to girls?" I raised my brow at him.
"Yeah, well, Sora enlightened me."
"I'm sure she had to!"
"Hey! I'm not the 'baka' here!"
I frowned.
"Just be nice to her." He smiled. "I'll see yea later!"
"I AM being nice!" I groaned loudly.
"Ja ne!" He waved as he entered the building.
I sighed to myself. "I don't understand girls."
*******
(Tera's POV)
"I don't understand guys!" I muttered to myself as I waited for the elevator to open.
"Hey, Tera-san."
I turned to my left and found Yamato. "Oh, hi, Yama. I didn't know you live in this building."
He smiled coolie. "I don't but my brother and mom do. I live with my dad in another building."
"Oh, I see. So your parents are divorced?"
"Yeah."
The elevator doors opened and we stepped in.
"What floor?" he asked.
"Twenty. You?"
"Eighteen."
"Ok."
He pressed the button for floor eighteen.
"Mine too."
Yamato looked over at me. "Huh?"
"I mean my parents are divorced too."
"Oh. So do your parents get along?"
"Yeah, better then when they were together. What about yours?"
"They don't really talk so I'm not sure."
"Oh. How long have they been divorced?"
"I can't remember how long ago. I was just a kid and TK still a toddler."
I nodded. "Mine have been divorced for about six years, I think. It's not the kind of thing I keep track of."
He nodded.
I stood quietly, not sure what to say. I didn't feel like being social.
"Hey, you should know something."
I turned to him and saw a smile play on his lips.
"Open mouth; insert foot."
"Hmm?" I blinked.
"Tai tends to open his big mouth without thinking. Thought you could use the heads up."
I looked at him curiously. "Did you see us?"
"Kind of hard to miss."
I felt my face blush.
"Go easy on the guy. He means well. Tai's really a good guy and a good friend. It's just that, you know, 'open mouth; insert foot'."
I looked down at the floor without a word. A moment later the elevator stopped.
"This is were I get off." Yamato said.
"Ok, see you tomorrow."
Yamato stepped off and turned to me. "Ascend back into heaven, fair angel!" He said with a big cheesy grin.
I laughed. "Now I see why Sora fell for you!"
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" he laughed. The elevator doors closed and went up a couple more floors.
*******
I laid on my bed as I tried to concentrate on my homework but I kept looking back at my backpack where my mischievous Digimon was still curled up and asleep. She had fallen asleep in my backpack sometime during my walk home and has been asleep ever since.
My Digimon.
My heart sank at those words. What if she really isn't my Digimon? What if I have to give her to her rightful partner? I don't know what I'd do if I lost her. Even if she isn't my Digimon, she is my friend.
My mind drifted back to the walk home. Truth be told, I was glad Tai walked me home. I didn't know what I was going to do if he hadn't offered to do so. Just when I think he might be a nice guy, he does something stupid to show me I'm wrong! I haven't been this upset at a guy since- well, it doesn't matter. That was something else completely different.
I was shook out of my internal ranting by the sound of the phone ringing and the shouted of my aunt telling me it was for me. As I pulled myself off of the bed, I noticed Konekomon wake up with a stretch and a yawn. When I got the phone, I was happy to hear Jen's voice on the other side.
"Hi!" her cheery voice rang. I also heard some strange squeaks in the background on Jen's end of the phone.
"Hey, Jen." I smiled. "What's up?"
*******
It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Cody and I passed the playground as we walked through the park.
"Can we go play on the slide, Cody?" Upamon asked from within Cody's backpack.
"Maybe later." Cody smiled.
"Right!" Upamon said as he knew why we were here in the first place.
We soon came to a tree where I saw Jen with the others. I felt a smile break on my face. I was really excited and nervous to be meeting everyone and their Digimon.
"Hi, Tera!" Jen smiled. She ran up to me and hugged me.
I laughed. "Hey!" I greeted. I then heard the same squeaks I heard when I had talked to Jen on the phone. I looked down and spotted what I could only describe as a pink, flowery dolphin of some kind. I blinked at the creature.
"This is Galemon!" Jen smiled as she gestured to the creature. "She says 'hi!'"
I raised my brow. "She did?"
Jen just smiled. "It's amazing the bonds we share with our Digimon!"
I gave a small smile and nodded before I snapped out of my daze. "Oh!" I pulled off my backpack, unzipped it, and pulled out Konekomon. I held her in my arms. "This is Konekomon."
"Hi!" Konekomon beamed.
"Kawaii!" Jen beamed back.
"Looks like we have another Digi-kitty member!"
I looked up and over at Kari who was also carrying a cat creature of her own.
"This is Gatomon." Kari informed.
"Hiya." Gatomon greeted Konekomon and me.
Konekomon blinked at Gatomon. She had never met another Digimon outside of Upamon.
"What's the matter? Cat caught your tongue?" said Gatomon.
Konekomon's face brightened up. "Nope! I'm really excited to be meeting all of you!"
Jen, Kari, Cody, and I walked over to the others.
"Well, everyone but Ken, Yolei, and Mimi are here!" Jen said.
"Ken and Yolei should be here soon. I saw Yolei this morning and she said she was going over to Ken's so they could come together." TK said.
"And Mimi won't be showing." said Yamato.
"How come?" I asked.
"Mimi moved to America. She lives in New York now." Sora informed.
I nodded.
"Have you ever been to New York?" Taichi asked.
I shook my head.
"Well, maybe we should start introducing-"
"We're here!"
Everyone turned to see Yolei hurrying over to the group with a blue haired boy.
"Hey Ken! About time you two got here!" Davis spoke.
"Hi everyone!" Ken said, a little winded.
"Sorry, but someone forgot to set their alarm!" Yolei sighed.
Ken blushed in guilt.
"Well, that's ok! Now that we're all here, lets get started!" Jen clapped. "Most of you already know Tera! She's Cody's cousin from America! And this is her Digimon, Konekomon!"
I smiled nervously. "Hi everyone."
"Hi!" Konekomon greeted.
"Well, I'm Ken and this is Wormmon."
"Hello." Wormmon greeted shyly.
"Well, you already know I'm Yolei, and this is Poromon!"
"Hello!" He said with a flap of his little wings.
"I'm Davis, and this is Demiveemon."
"Ish nicsh to meet you!" The little blue rabbit looking creature said with a lisp.
"I'm Kari, and this is Gatomon."
"We've already met." Gatomon nodded.
"I'm TK, and this is Patamon." He said as he pointed to the orange winged creature on his head.
"I'm Yamato, and this is Gabumon."
"It's a pleasure."
I'm Sora, and this is Biyomon."
"Hello friends!" the pink bird beamed.
"I'm Tai, and this is my buddy, Agumon!"
"Hi!" he waved his orange claw.
"Hello. I'm Joe, and this little miscreant is Gomamon."
"Hey! I said I was sorry about the dishes! And the carpet, and the-"
"I am Izzy and this is Tentomon."
"Greetings!" he buzzed as he hovered over Izzy's head.
"I'm glad I could meet all of you." I smiled.
"Now that's taken care of, let's go play!" Davis shouted.
The Digimon cheered and ran after Davis. The others laughed and followed too. I still stood with Konekomon in my arms. She looked up at me. I smiled. "Go play."
Konekomon beamed and jumped out of my arms and ran after the others to the playground.
I smiled and held my hands up to my chest. I was really happy.
My thoughts were interrupted when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw it was Taichi.
"Hey, Tera? I don't know what I said to make you mad the other day, but I'm sorry. I tend to say things without thinking."
"So I've heard."
He raised his brow. "From who? Jen? Sora? Yamato? It was Yamato, wasn't it!"
I couldn't help but let out a small laugh. "It must be true if you'd suspect so many people!"
He scratched the back of his head with a nervous laugh. "So are you still mad?"
I sighed. "No, I guess not. I probably was just over reacting. Sorry for blowing up at you."
"It's ok. I'm used to it!" He smiled.
I gave a small smile and looked away.
"Tera?"
"Hm?" I looked back over at him.
"I really don't mean to be a jerk and I'm sorry if you see me that way. Truth is, I'd really like us to be friends."
"You do?"
He smiled and nodded.
I looked down. "I thought you didn't like me."
His face fell and he blinked. "I do like you!"
I looked back up at him. "Really?"
"Yeah! I just like you better when you aren't yelling at me! I think you're a really interesting person!"
I raised my brow.
He held up his hands in a defensive way. "I don't know what your thinking, but I mean that in the nicest way possible!"
A smirk crept up on my lips before I broke into a laugh. "Ok!"
"Ok what?"
"Ok, maybe you aren't such a bad guy and we can be friends."
"So you won't call me a jerk anymore?"
"Only on special occasions." I smirked again.
"What about 'baka'?"
"Don't push it." I said before my smirk broke into another laughed.
He laughed too and smiled at me. "Come on. Let's go join in."
I remembered what Yamato had told me the other day in the elevator. I pushed aside the negative thoughts that clouded my mind of Tai being a jerk to me before, as well as the thoughts of Konekomon not being my Digimon. I was happy right now and I wasn't going to let all those negative feelings spoil it. I let out a sigh and smiled at him. "Sure."

"I really don't mean to be a jerk and I'm sorry if you see me that way. Truth is, I'd really like us to be friends."
"You do?"
He smiled and nodded.
I looked down. "I thought you didn't like me."
His face fell and he blinked. "I do like you!"
I looked back up at him. "Really?"
"Yeah! I just like you better when you aren't yelling at me! I think you're a really interesting person!"
I raised my brow.
He held up his hands in a defensive way. "I don't know what your thinking, but I mean that in the nicest way possible!"
A smirk crept up on my lips before I broke into a laugh. "Ok!"
"Ok what?"
"Ok, maybe you aren't such a bad guy and we can be friends."
"So you won't call me a jerk anymore?"
"Only on special occasions." I smirked again.
"What about 'baka'?"
"Don't push it." I said before my smirk broke into another laughed.
He laughed too and smiled at me. "Come on. Let's go join in."
I remembered what Yamato had told me the other day in the elevator. I pushed aside the negative thoughts that clouded my mind of Tai being a jerk to me before, as well as the thoughts of Konekomon not being my Digimon. I was happy right now and I wasn't going to let all those negative feelings spoil it. I let out a sigh and smiled at him. "Sure."
