Title: Perspectives by The Zazu
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Zazu no own Digimon.
Author's Note: Finally. A next chapter to my oh-so-unique-groundbreaking-and-absolutely-cool story. Pfft. It's hardly anything compared to some of that awesome stuff I've seen from certain authors... GtaJake MK-II and Dapster – thank you for your reviews. :) They were really pleasant to read. Sooner or later I'll get to Takato's red and gold D-Arcs. I'm still thinking on that. Oh, it would be lovely if you guys could help me out on the colors...
Takato – White body with red trim, then white with golden trim?
Juri – White body, yellow trim
Ryo – Navy blue body, white trim (anyone find it interesting that Ruki's and Ryo's D-Arcs contain similar colors?)
Shuichon – White body, pink trim
Hirokazu -?
Kenta -?
Ai and Mako – Purple
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Now, on with the story... Enjoy!

Perspectives: Feeling Kinda Green
-------------------
"But Jen... why not?" The whine of Terriermon's voice filled the air. Once again, the small digimon was engaging in another argument with his partner, Lee Jenrya. "You know I could take that guy on!" The white-and-green rabbit sat perched on his tamer's head, flapping his curiously long ears indignantly. A small pout tugged at Terriermon's features as he looked pleadingly at Jenrya.
The navy-haired boy shifted his darkened gaze upward and answered sharply, "Don't argue. I don't want to you to get hurt, okay Terriermon? Just drop it." Jenrya's voice held a tone of finality. It looked like there wouldn't be any room for his disappointed digimon to press his point. The 13-year-old leaned against the bridge's iron railing, pointedly ignoring the digital fog passing by. The boy frowned softly as his digimon fell into a sullen silence. 'He will never understand how much pain he would cause if he happened to become injured... I'd blame it on me,' Jenrya reassured himself mentally. He wasn't completely convinced however.
Jenrya never lets us fight. He's always worried about our well being. Sure, that's good n' all, but Terriermon and I would like to get some good old 'one-two' in, so to speak. I mean, hellooooo, if we don't do anything, the whole town might get hurt! I mean, d'ya really expect Takato to finish off a digimon? And that weird Ruki girl would only want to fight 'strong' digimon. And if something did happen to Shinjuku, Jenrya would probably find a way to blame it on himself. He's just like that. If I had hands, I woulda slapped him across the face by now. 'C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! Lee Jenrya, wake up and smell the roses! You're like the closest to the Digital Field. Go do something!' I cried out. Of course, he didn't hear me. Our partners never hear us. It's made like that. Frustrating, really.
Jenrya is a great guy – I generally enjoy bein' his partner. But this whole 'never-hurt-others' idea can really get on my nerves sometimes. When will he realize that there are certain times and places where he has to fight? Hmph.
'Scuse me while I puke. I'm feelin' kinda green.
Man, those were the days. The days when I didn't get to do anything 'cept complain. Jen really gave me many reasons to! He sure was awfully clingy to his pacifist ideas then... I'm not saying that's a bad thing. It's a good belief everyone should have, but that kid took it to the extremes. His adventures with the rest of the Tamers helped him realize a few things. Like there is a certain where fighting may be necessary. He also realized that he didn't have to worry about Shuichon all the time... I mean, Jenrya was totally overprotective then. Kinda like that Taichi guy from that Digimon Adventure show that Jen watches. Taichi also learned that he couldn't always protect his little sister. Maybe certain TV shows can have a good influence on teenagers... Overall, my partner has changed for the better. My good looks draw all the girls to him though. What can I say? I have that charm.
Anyway Terriermon is a cool lil dude these days. Y'know, spending time with Shuichon... and not always being smart-alecky. I mean, you probably could never get that guy to stop being like that completely, but now Terriermon chooses better times for his sometimes tactless comments. He's learned manners too. He actually said 'thank you' to Jenrya's mom today when she passed him the pizza.
Jen was a loner before. Now he has tons of friends! His best friend of course is Matsuda Takato – the gogglehead of the group. Takato's optimistic look on life is rubbing off on Jenrya. That's good! Those two are virtually inseparable – even when Juri is around. If you didn't already know, Juri is Takato's soon-to-be girlfriend. Jenrya has been encouraging the shy guy to ask her out. Jen can be pretty persuasive at times, y'know.
I'm just pretty cool with everything that goes around. Everything just seems to be chuggin' along smoothly – very good indeed. I've gotten to understand Jen-chan's views a tad better and Terriermon's previous hunger to fight. I'm cool as a cucumber dude. I'm happy to fight, but I'm also happy not to. I feel so much wiser. I've learned a lot about Jen's studies. He always claims math is good for you... So, just to show off a little, here's an equation I've learned:
Ruki (Cold, Blue) x Juri (Warm, Yellow) = Jenrya (Calm, Green)
I'm Green, the perfect balance, signin' out!

Author's Note: Bad ending - I was imagining it differently. I'm content with the voice of the piece though. Came out in the sort of sassy, smarty sound that I imagined 'Green' to have... As I always say, reviews would be lovely! ;)
