Title: Perspectives by The Zazu
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon Tamers.
Random Shameless Plug: Visionary - a Digimon mystery that I have been writing. ;)
Author's Note: Again, the reviews are much appreciated. :) Even though I don't get as many reviews as other authors, I'm content with getting at least two reviews per chapter. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Hehe. Also, I don't know if I said this earlier, but after the D-Reaper, the Tamers' digimon remained in the Real World.

Perspectives: Glimmer of Hope
-------------------
"I'm a tamer."The words left his lips breathlessly, full of awe and wonder. That phrase was uttered time after time, and radiated more delight after each utterance. My partners were both very excitable. One was a somewhat small, green-haired boy by the name Kenta. He had these really round glasses and at first glance reminded me of a Frogmon... This, I kid you not. But all Frogmon I know are extremely cute, so this was a good thing.... I suppose.
A joyful, rapid trilling followed Kenta's comments. This noise came from my other partner, MarineAngemon. The creature was a wisp of a digimon, making it hard to believe that such a gentle, shy digimon was at the Mega level. I suppose that big things come in small packages... Well, that's at least what I'm told!
"I have a D-Arc. I-I have my own D-Arc. My gosh! Just wait until Matsuda finds out, MarineAngemon!"
He clutched me tighter, staring at his reflection in the shimmering screen. A swell of pride rose in my heart as his lips burst into an exuberant smile. I felt loved... I felt appreciated. I had heard so much about the renowned Blue... I always had been afraid that my partners were going to be harsh. I had heard so many stories of the ill treated. It was definitely depressing. Come on, I'm only Pearl, a soft girl.
MarineAngemon accentuated his own excitement, trilling happily once more. Kenta only laughed gleefully.
Suddenly I felt a glimmer of hope...
When I first found my partners, I was so afraid, so broken. What I wasn't loved? What if they mistreated me? What if they hated me? All those questions haunted me every night, keeping me on the brink of insomnia. I didn't want to follow the sad tale of Blue... not at all! I worried on and on. I was sure they wouldn't like me.
But I was wrong.
Very wrong!
Kenta and MarineAngemon were so filled with cheer and happiness all my fears were immediately washed away. I knew I was going to be leading a great life. This time, I was very right. My life is soooooo much fun! You have no idea. In every moment of my existence, I want share the happiness I had found with these two wonderful, wonderful partners. We have had such a close bond these days. I surmise that the whole D-Reaper events tied us together tightly. That's not a bad thing... I suppose!
Kenta is turning into a bright young man. He excels in every subject, and is even contemplating skipping a grade. I doubt he'll do that... he would miss the 'gang' too much. Still, I am so proud of him. In my opinion, Kenta is turning out to be very good looking. He grew out his hair a bit and replaced his glasses for contacts. Plus, he's getting prrreetttty tall. I'm sure all the ladies are chasing him. Too bad for them though. He has his eyes set on only one person. Guess who it is!
You don't know?
Lee Shuichon!
You would hardly think such a thing with their age difference... but... I don't think four years matters to them at all! Every single time they are with each other, their faces glow with an unimaginable warmth. I don't think it's love quite yet, but it's a very caring crush... I suppose.
MarineAngemon is just as cheerful, that I must say. That little digimon is always trilling so happily. MarineAngemon was very shy when I first met him. Now, he enjoys talking – too much, sometimes! Kenta has been trying to teach him some Japanese and English words. So far, there hasn't been much progress... but I'm sure MarineAngemon will pick something up, eventually.
And me? I suppose I'm doing pretty good. It's just so much fun watching my partners; I learn so much. I can't believe I was afraid! (rolls eyes) That was just sooo stupid of me. I'm much happier... It's as if all my dreams have come true overnight!
Hope goes a long way, don't you think?

Author's Note: I attempted to make Kenta's Pearl D-Arc a little unsure and questioning. Hopefully it turned out that way... Like? Dislike? Reviews are lovely. ;)
