Chronicles of Time: Of What the Future Brings

Chapter 2: The team members

The moment that his alarm rang the next morning, Koichi immediately called his twin brother to talk about something VERY important.

"Hey, Koji?" Koichi asked after Koji managed to mutter a weak 'hello'.

"Koichi?" Koji asked, surprised that his brother called him at such an early hour, "Do you really have to call so early?"

"Err—sorry." Koichi apologized, "It's just that there's something very important that I have to tell you."

"About what?" Koji asked sounding more awake than before, "You're feeling alright aren't you? You're not sick are you? Is something wrong?"

"Calm down, Koji." Koichi said, "It's not about me—"

"It's not?" Koji asked sounding relieved to here that, "Then what is it about?"

"Before that, I have to ask you a question." Koichi said.

"And that would be...?" Koji asked.

"Do you have feelings for Zoe?" Koichi asked without hesitation.

Koji paused for a moment before asking, rather than answering, "Koichi, are we talking about Zoe Orimoto?"

"Do you know any other Zoes?" Koichi asked.

"Sure I have feelings for her." Koji answered, "I love her."

Koichi's jaw dropped on the other end of the phone, "You LOVE her?!"

"Yes." Koji replied, "I love her as a sister."

At this, Koichi sighed, relieved that his brother loves Zoe, but only as a brother would love his younger sister.

"That's a relief." Koichi said, "I thought you Love her love her."

"So, why are you asking me this question, don't tell me you love her love her." Koji said.

"No...I mean Yes...Like a sister." Koichi replied.

"So then, why are you asking this question?" Koji asked.

"Remember yesterday at McDonalds?" Koichi began, and after hearing the 'Yes' from Koji continued, "—and you remember when you guys saw me talking with Zoe..."

Another 'Yes' from Koji.

"We were talking about the promise." Koichi said.

"What promise?" Koji asked.

"You know...THE PROMISE." Koichi replied, "The promise that Zoe gave Takuya before you and Takuya went out and fought with Kerpymon."

"Oh, THAT promises." Koji said.

"Yes." Koichi replied.

"So, what about it?" Koji asked in his normal tone.

"Well, Zoe told me that she and Takuya haven't gone out yet." Koichi told his twin.

"WHAT!?" Koji exclaimed on the other end of the line, "I thought by now that they would have, the way those two were talking about it – I thought that they would rush over to the most beautiful spot here and have a date right after the battle."

"So, we both agree about the two of them being together then?" Koichi asked.

"Are you kidding?" Koji asked, "Those two were made for each other!"

"It's good that you think like that, bro.—"Koichi said, "Cuz' I have a plan that would make those two an official couple."

"Oh really, Koichi? This IS one of those plans that would work, right?" Koji asked, making sure.

"Of course, I asked Zoe why they haven't gone out yet yesterday..." Koichi said.

"...And? What did she say?" Koji asked.

"She said that it's not that she doesn't want to go out with him, but she would rather be the one asked rather than the one who will ask." Koichi said.

"I see...then all we have to do is to make Takuya ask Zoe to go out with him." Koji said.

"It's not as easy at it sounds, Koji." Koichi said, "We have a couple of problems."

"We have?" Koji asked, surprised that there are any problems.

" One, how could we make those two go out and admit their feelings for each other and Two, how do we make sure that no one would bother them once they are alone on a romantic scene a.k.a JP Shibayama." Koichi enumerated.

"And I suppose you have a solution to these problems?" Koji asked.

"Not yet." Koichi replied, "That's why I am getting all the help I could possibly get – which, by the way, includes you and Tommy."

"Tommy?" Koji asked, "And are you sure he's go with this?"

"Well, if you say that you're in with this plan of mine, I'll go and call him next." Koichi replied.

"Sure, Count me in!" replied Koji before he hanged up.

Next up was Tommy. Koichi knew that it was still early to call the youngest member of their group, so he waited for an hour and a half before calling the Himi residence.

"Hello, may I please speak with Tommy?" Koichi asked politely.

"Why, sure you may." , came a voice of a lady, which the bearer of the spirit of darkness guessed was Tommy's mother, "Just hold on one minute and I'll call him over."

"Thank you, Ma'am." Replied Koichi.

Several seconds later, which seemed like hours to the excited digi-destined, Tommy finally answered the call.

"Hello..." Tommy began.

"Hey, Tommy!" Koichi said even before Tommy could finish his sentence, "It's me, Koichi."

"Koichi?" Tommy asked, "Why'd you call? Do you need something from me?"

"As a matter of fact, Koji and I need something from you." Koichi replied, "But before I tell you what it is, I have to ask you first a question."

"A question?" Came the voice of the young bearer of the element of ice, "What kind of question?"

"A question that would decide whether you're in or out with our plan – we're talking about my brother and me plan." Koichi replied, "Are you ready?"

"Umm...sure!" replied Tommy.

"Who would you prefer to be Zoe's boy friend? Takuya or JP?" Koichi asked, he was not sure if Tommy got what he meant, but he had to make sure anyway.

"Big sister Zoe's boy friend?" Tommy asked.

"Yeah, you know a guy who she would always spend a lot of time with, whom she would go out with..." Koichi explained.

"Oh, come on, Koichi!" Tommy exclaimed, "I know what a boy friend means!"

"Oh, sorry." Koichi apologized, "So, Takuya or JP?"

"You're not planning on making Big brother Takuya and Big sister Zoe an official couple, are you?" Tommy asked.

"Err—how did you know?" Koichi asked.

"I thought so," Tommy said, "Well, then count me in!"

"You're in? Then you approve of them being a couple?" Koichi asked making 100 percent sure.

"Since I saw them talking on the Trailmon to the digi-world!" replied Tommy, "So, do we have a plan?"

"Not yet." Koichi replied, "That's why I asked for your help and for Koji's help."

"Okay then," Tommy said, "When will we make the plan and where? We only have a 30 days before classes start and we don't know where Big sis. Zoe and Big bro. Takuya would be studying."

"Right." Koichi said, "Then come by my house after you had your breakfast."

"I already ate." Tommy replied and Koichi could only guess that he was grinning.

"Okay then come over here now while I'll go on and call Koji." Koichi said, "You still remember where it is right?"

"Of course I do!" Tommy replied then hanged up.

Koichi hanged up right after Tommy did and sighed. He waited a couple of minutes before picking the phone up again and redialing his brother's number.

When Koji picked up the phone, his voice sounded more alive than it did earlier that same morning. Koichi guesed that it has something to do with their discussion earlier and that Koji had already had his breakfast.

"Koichi is that you?" Koji asked right after answering the phone, "I was wondering when you'd be calling again. So how did your little chat with Tommy went?"

"Perfect." Koichi replied, "He's on his way here right now to help us come up with the perfect plan and I suggest you do the same and get your butt over here."

"Hey, calm down, Koichi." Koji said, "Don't worry; I'll be there in a second."

"Okay then, hurry up!" Koichi said before he replaced the phone and got himself ready for the visitors.

It was already noon when the trio had finally finished up a plan that they could not find any flaws in and they came up with it after what seems like more than a dozen of other plans that was either plain silly or impossible to do at the real world.

"I sure hope this plan works." Koji said.

"We're lucky we have Koichi to think this one up." Tommy added.

"Hey, I didn't do it on my own. You guys also helped out." Koichi said, "But I guess those times I hanged out with Kerpymon did pay off."

"Yeah." Koji agreed, "You learn how to make plans, right?"

"Right." Koichi said.

"But is that a good thing?" Tommy asked.

"Right now?" Koichi asked back, but answered Tommy's question soon after, "I think it is."

To be continued...
