Still don't own Digimon, sorry.

It was right there. She could taste it. It was like having the person in the next dorm room baking a cake. Close enough to taste, but you know you'll never get any of it.

"Damn it Sal! I'm taking that vacation time, and you can't do anything about it!"

Throwing the phone across the room, the sweet crack it made when it hit the wall just felt so good to some primal part deep inside her chest.

Of course, now she had two weeks to blow, and a series of book signings not to show up at. Possibly no job to return to even.

Some distant part of her knew that she had lost her grip on what was left of her sanity. But truth be told, she liked being angry much more then being sane. Anger was the only thing that helped her claw out of that place again, the Crest of Sincerity glowing as she accepted another truth in her life and about herself. The layers of white lies and self restraints she had built since letting her crest, being stripped bare by it's sudden, illuminating return.

Even in the digital world, as she and Palmon started their slow walk across the face of the planet, the sweet song of serenity guided her. Gathering allies once more, and striking down those that wished to harm her, her traveling party, or the digital world in general.

In the digital world, she could lash out anytime she needed too. Anger wasn't something to be hidden, it was to be reveled in. Love wasn't to be ignored, it was the first thing to think of in the morning, and the last thought before resting at night. Much more real then the world where Love was hidden by lies, and Anger was bottled up for a later time.

Sincerity had it's truest host back, and it's Viral nature was showing.

"What do you mean Mimi has an army?!" Sora was on the edge of hyper ventilation. First she receives a strange email from Palmon, insulting her, followed by a detailed apology from Mimi. Then while trying to reply to Mimi, she goes missing for days, and now Jyou is on the phone telling her Mimi is in the digital world, killing Gennais.

"You're kidding, right? This isn't a funny joke Jyou."

"I wish I was kidding. Reports are sketchy right now, but Lillymon has definitely killed no less then 3 Gennais, and Mimi's entire group is moving through what would be Mid-Canada right now."

Sora sat on the edge of her bed in partial shock, "What does it mean though?"

The other side of the phone was dead for a few seconds, "I don't know. Maybe she's just possessed or something."

"Yeah... Like a Dark Gear or something?"

A small laugh slips through the phone, "Just like good old times, huh?"

Sora couldn't help but think of the big hearted pink haired girl, who was afraid of the wilderness, but willing to stop and dig graves for Digimon she barely knew, "Yeah, good times..."
