HI! Sorry I took so long in updating. But I was having problems with my computer again. I think everything's been fixed now though. Well, this story isn't getting too many reviews. My mom says it's because I wrote it in my earlier writing style, whatever that means. Anyway, since I decided not to discontinue this, I'll keep updating it. I'm usually a pretty patient person, so we'll see I guess. Here's the next chapter. Enjoy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
Chapter 9- Lost and Homesick
Hours began to turn into days, and days into tiring long weeks. All this time had passed, but not one of the DigiDestined had noticed. Once again, they began to get edgy and unhappy with each other. Plus, not to mention, very bored. They tried playing tag; but they got to tired too soon and had to stop. They tried fishing; but that got too boring waiting around for the fish to come. They finally tried getting on the move again, but that didn't work either.
Every once in awhile, they all had to stop, so the older DigiDestined could separate TK and Davis from getting in another fight; or give Yolei a telling off for starting another tiresome argument or complaining session. Although, sometimes they were acting no better than their younger teammates. Joe reasonably tried suggesting going back home through one of those portal TVs, back to the computer lab at camp. So, they decided to give it a try, but it turned out that the portal had been closed for weeks.
"It's not fair," Yolei whined yet again. "How could it close on us? I want to go home! WAHH!!"
"YOLEI!" Tai snarled at her. "That's enough! Whining is not going to help us get back home!"
The others all had to agree on this. Whining wasn't going to get them anywhere, especially back home. Before any of them knew it, it was nighttime and time to get some sleep.
Next day, they woke up and were quickly on the move. It was yet another uneventful day. At least it was, until about one-o-clock that afternoon, when Izzy noticed something very peculiar as they journeyed through a forest.
"Look at this," he said to the others.
The others looked, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. All they saw was a large hole in the oak tree that Izzy was pointing to. Nothing too strange about that.
"Yeah, we see it. What about it Izzy?" Tai asked, plainly bewildered.
"I know this sounds strange," Izzy replied, "but doesn't that hole look familiar?"
Sora moved forward to get a closer look and said, "You know, he's right. It does look kind of familiar. Wonder why."
"Hey," put in Matt, "didn't we pass a tree with a hole in it like that just a few minutes ago?"
"Now that you mention it, we did," replied Kari.
"Guys," Cody called, "it looks like the we saw, because it is the same one. We've obviously been walking around in circles." "Th...th... that means..." Sora stammered.
"Yeah, we're lost." Izzy said, finishing for Sora.
Everybody groaned. Some because it took them that long to realize that they were lost, which is quite the predicament. Joe then sensibly suggested that they find a place of shelter and go from there. That, and because it was about to rain. And they all agreed.
Soon, they found an abandoned hotel-like house, just as the first few drops of rain began to fall. Inside the place, they found bedrooms, a dining hall, a lounging room, and a bathroom. Which was good, 'cause they were all very dirty, hungry, and extremely tired. After a good meal and a good bath, they settled into bed.
"Oh goody!" Yolei giggled. "These beds are nice and soft."
"How I miss sleeping in my own bed, in my own room," Mimi sighed dreamily.
Sora and Kari sighed too. "Me too!" they both said at the same time.
"Yeah, I know what you mean," Ken agreed from his bed in the far corner.
"I guess we had to get homesick sooner or later," put in TK.
"Hey Matt," called Tai, "do you remember when we homesick back on File Island?"
Matt laughed. "Haha. Do I? That's when Devimon was ruling the island. We found this house and washed, ate, and stayed the night in it. What a riot!"
"Dejavu," giggled Kari. "It's just like tonight."
"Hey! She's got a point," Matt said. "It was just like tonight."
"I hope not," broke in Joe. "Last time it wasn't real. And Devimon attacked and separated us."
"Relax Joe," Matt added. "It's only kind of the same. This no trick house."
"Really? How can you tell?" Davis asked.
"I know it's a house, as sure as I can see it," Matt replied jokingly.
"Hm? That makes sense. I think." Davis said uncertainly.
"Whatever." Cody grumbled. "Let's just get some sleep."
"Ok. G'night."
"Good night."
Soon, one by one, they all began to fall asleep and all was silent, only broken by Davis's load snores. Until, TK was the only one left awake. He lay staring at the ceiling. 'It's all the same,' TK thought. 'The house, the food, the bath, the bath, the beds. It's all the same as it was four years ago. And something definitely doesn't feel right. But what?' That question turned out to puzzling to answer, and before long, TK drifted off to slumber and into a dream of terror and baffling confusion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Ooh, another cliffhanger. Well, how am I doing? Please review ok? It's getting to be one big pain, writing when hardly anyone reads your work. Though I thank those of you who do/did. Thanks for thinking its 'brill' and I hope you come back and continue think that it's just that. Anyway, that's it for now. Cya soon! (I hope)
