Chapter 2
It was so pleasant to be traveling again, walking down the trail, refreshing breezes scented with the smell of the ocean brushing lightly against your face, certainly it was better than spenting the summer in Odaiba with 100 degrees sunlight burning against your skin. Capecod, a 3 hours drive from downtown Boston, was a place filled with beaches along the shorelines. They finally got passed the traffic and made it to the camp.
"I thought your mom said it wasn't far from the city," Davis asked, wondering if they're at the right place.
"Me too, I guess looking at it from a world map, the distance looked shorter than it really is." They got to the airport early in the morning, and drove endlessly the whole day, getting lost several times. But after hours of stopping at fast food restaurants and asking for directions, they finally got to north Capecod. There they were, at a parking lot near the dock. The registration office was across the street, they took out their luggages and hurried over to the small building.
"Names?"
"I'm Ken Ichijouji, this is Davis, Sora, and Tai,"
The lady in the brown dress typed into the computer and smiled. "Aw, I see you four came all the way from Japan,"she said.
"Yes,"replied Ken politely.
She took out four papers and a key, handed them to the blue haired boy, "Cabin 3, that's where you'll be staying. We'll have dinner outside in two hours, this map will show you where to go. All set?"
"Thank you," Ken took the papers and they walked along the road to where the cabins are located. Beside them were huge soccer fields, a few kids were practicing when they came across them. Ken stopped and watched as they played. Most of them were girls who looked about 13 to 15.They were crowded near the left goal, some trying to kick the ball away from the goal, others running to get open for the girl in the red tantop with the soccer ball to pass. Someone screamed out, "Jessie, over here!" The girl unmistakingly named Jessie lifted her head to see her, then she kicked the ball high through a gap between two other players who were blocking her. It flew high above the rest of their heads and no one could get to it fast before it was coming in Ken's direction. "Watch out!" someone from the field warned. Ken stopped the ball with the side of his feet and kicked it back to them. "Thanks," Jessie yelled from far away as her teamate went over to get the ball, winking slightly at him as her deep blue eyes meet his.
Ken smiled back and begin walking away from them. Tai, Sora, and Davis, turned around and waited for him to catch up.
It felt incredible to kick a soccer ball again, it had been years since Ken quit the soccer team in school. He didn't really remember why he quit, whatever the reason was, he was glad to get back to the sport he loved.
Cabin 3 was the farthest away from the soccer field. They were two houses attached together in the entrance. Walking into the front door, inside, appeared a small space with two doors on each side. The left door was marked 3, the right 4. "Should we knock first?"Tai asked.
"Good idea," Sora knocked on the left door, no one answered, so Ken gave her the key and she unlocked it and they went in.
"This place is nice, better than I expected," Sora commented as she was the first one to walk inside. The small hallway lead to the kitchen. Beside the counter, was an opening in the wall that lead to the living room. "Cool, I never expected that we have a TV," Davis walked over to the big television screen and turned it on with the remote. Channel 2 appeared, the show Sesame Street was on, Davis stared in interest and saw a big yellow bird talking to itself, "Aw, how cute...I loved this show when I was a baby" Davis whispered as he turned it off and walked on.
Next to the tv was a stair leading up, the four of them placed their stuff down and hurried up the stairs. The upstairs consisted of a bathroom and a large bedroom with four beds and a desk. "This is awesome,there's just enough beds for each of us," Sora grinned as she threw her back onto the bed closest to her,"It's so comfortable," she said as she snuggled onto the fluffy white mattress and leaned against the pillow, trying to get into a comfy position to relax.
"I'm gonna go downstairs to bring up our stuff," Ken suggested.
"Good idea, I'll come help you,"Davis followed him, leaving Tai and Sora alone for a while.
"Well, I'll just"
"Stay with me, Tai."
Taichi looked to see Sora smiling at him. "O-okay. Sure."
Davis peered over his shoulders to see the gray laptop sitting on the desk. "You brought your laptop! Cool, can I play a game on the internet?"
Ken sighed, he thought his roomates were outside barbarquing with the rest of the campers, "Davis, what a surprise! What are you doing here?"
Davis had two hotdogs in his hands, he shifted one in front of Ken's face, "I brought you something to eat. You must be hungry."
"Thanks, I'll take it," Ken responded and accepted the hotdog, taking one teensy bit, then setting it aside on his desk so he could eat it later
"What's this?" Davis questioned as he looked at the small computer screen, on the top was a taskbar of a mailbox,"Checking your emails?"
"Yup," Ken checked on the box that says read message 1 of 1. Unsurprisingly, it was from Yolei, he chuckled as he glanced at the message.
Hi Ken! It's been only 35 hours since you left and it's 8 o clock in the morning here. I don't know how the time difference works but I'm guessing ur sleeping rite now. Wormmon's fine, he says hello to ya. And tell Davis that Demiveemon is missing him already, last night that poor thing was calling Davis in his sleep, anyways,all is well now, I fed them some oatmeal cookies and hot chocolate and they seem to be satisfied.
Reply soon.
Love Yolei.
"Dats nice. Poor demiveemon, I didn't want to leave him, but at least he can play with Wormmon," Davis mumbled as he chewed a large piece of the hotdog in his mouth,"So, are you doing to reply to her?"
Ken thought before agreeing,"Yeah..."He typed fast with his agile fingers.
Glad to know wormmon and demiveemon's ok. We got to the camp just a while ago because of the heavy traffic. It's quite different here, the weather is nice and our rooms are good, people are generous and blah blah blah, you get the point. Anyways, tomorrow, Tai and Sora is going back to the city to meet Mimi. Davis and I might hop along with them, and I'll be sure to tell her you said hi, considering that you admire her so much. See you again in a few weeks.
Love Ken.
Once he sent the message, Davis was convincing him to go outside and enjoy the barbarque, "...it's fun. you should come out with us and relax a little. "
Ken hesistated,"I don't know...I mean...I'm kind of tired."
"C'mon," Davis dragged him out of his chair and pushed him out the door, "We're staying here for a long time, so you better start enjoying yourself."
"Enjoy myself...yeah, I guess,"Ken nodded. Outside, he was greeted by a few of the comitees after Davis introduced him. "This is Beth, she's staying in the cabin next to ours with her cousin, Bob. And this is Laura, their roomate." Followed by the quick greeting, he found himself pushed towards a circle of young teenagers surrounding a camp fire, sitting next to him was Davis, Sora and Tai, and on his other side was a blondie dressed in a tight minishirt. "Are you Ken?"
Ken turned his head to meet the feminine voice, "Uh...yeah," he said, surprised to know that she knew him already.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Jessie. I don't know if you still remember, but I saw you earlier today on the soccer field. I was shocked when Davis told me you were an instructor. You seem kind of young.....it's not meant to be an insult."she added to make sure no offense was taken.
He remembered now, she was the girl he saw in the red tantop playing soccer when they came across them on their way to the cabins. "Oh yeah, I thought I've seen you somewhere before. Nice to meet you Jessie."
A/N: Flames welcomed. I would just laugh at them and say haha that's stupid. But if you make a point, I'll certain remember the comments and hopefully write better. By the way, I can't believe I forgot Wormmon on my first chapter, so thanks whoever you are for reminding me. And you're right, woman are suppose to be independent, they don't need their boyfriends around all the time to prevent them from breaking down. Jeez, I never thought I was making it like that. Also, Ken isn't as lazy as I described, sorry if I offended any Ken fan clubs. So thanks for telling me. Oh yeah, and I didn't write this because I had to go to summer camp myself. Please review and tell me what you think.
