It was 5 o'clock when Eden & Kari finally came home. "Thank you for taking me out for ice cream, Mom." Eden smiles.
"You're welcome. Now I need to start dinner." Kari said, walking into the kitchen.
Eden nods & runs up to her room. "Poromon, you won't believe how much fun I had. First, we…" Eden turned & noticed there was no Poromon on her bed. "Poromon?" Eden started looking for her. "Poromon, this isn't funny. Where are you?" Eden started to panic, when she heard some giggling from the room next to her.
"Walden?" Eden walked to his room. She opens the door slightly & gasps in horror at what she sees.
Poromon is tied up, surrounded by toy soldiers! Poromon say Eden & her eyes widened.
"Walden! Did you go into my room!" Eden yelled, walking in to untie Poromon, but Walden kicked her.
"Get away from my prisoner!" he yelled.
"This is mine. Don't go into my room & take my stuff! I've told you a thousand times." Eden continued to untie Poromon.
Walden started tearing up. "But…but…it's mine!" he starts bawling.
Eden just groans, unties Poromon & sits up. "Walden, don't cry. I'm just taking what's mine."
Kari walked in. "Eden, what did you do to your brother?" she scolds her, walking in & picking up Walden to comfort him.
"I didn't do anything! He went into my room & took my stuffed animal." Eden tried to defend herself.
Kari placed Walden in his bed & turned around. "You're his big sister, Eden. You should be nice. Plus, you have tons of stuffed animals."
Eden, being the stubborn girl she was, glared at her mother. "Fine. Just take his side. You always do!" she shouts, stomping out of the room.
"I can't believe her. I sometimes wish I was an only child." she complained to herself in her room. She puts Poromon on her bed.
"Thank you for saving me." Poromon thanked her.
"No prob. Sorry Walden is such a brat." Eden sat on the bed with Poromon. She lays back, groaning. "Now, about this partner thing."
Poromon jumps onto her stomach, smiling. "Yes. I am your partner."
"So, what does that mean?" Eden sat up extremely fast, throwing Poromon off. "Does that mean I can go to the digital world!" she exclaimed excitedly.
Poromon righted herself up & jumped back on the bed. "Yes. But first we have to find the other 4 digidestined in Japan."
"There are others?" Eden asks, surprised.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Walden is playing with his toys, obviously over the Poromon thing. Dallas was sitting & watching TV. Kari was in the kitchen, chopping up some cucumbers for the cucumber salad.
TK walks in through the door. "I'm home." he takes off his jacket.
"Daddy!" Walden drops his toys & runs up to TK.
"Walden." TK brings Walden into a hug. He turns to Dallas on the couch. "Hey, Dallas."
"Hey, dad." he says, eyes glued on the TV.
TK puts Walden down & walks into the kitchen. He puts his arms around Kari & gives her a kiss on the check. "Hey, sweetheart."
"Hey." she turns, giving him a "proper" kiss. "How was the book signing?"
TK groaned. "People coming up to me all day, asking if Digimon are real."
Kari laughs. "I see." She turns back to chopping cucumbers.
"What's for dinner?"
"Cucumber salad & Chop Suey. And for dessert, it's a surprise." Kari smiles.
"Sounds good." he turns. "I seem to be missing one child."
"Eden is pouting in her room."
"Why?"
"She yelled at her brother."
"Dallas?"
"Walden."
TK nods. "I better go talk to her." TK turns & walks up the stairs.
"Be careful of flying objects!" Kari yelled after him, only half-joking.
TK walks to Eden's door & hears voices. He knocks. "Eden?"
Eden's eyes bugged out. "Uh oh, it's my dad. Hide!" she whispered, throwing Poromon into her pile of stuffed animals. She turns to the door. "Yeah?" she calls out.
"Can I come in?"
"Sure."
TK walks in & shuts the door. He sits on the bed & brings Eden on his lap. "Eden, I think you know why I'm here."
Eden knew exactly why. "Cuz of Walden?"
TK nodded. "Why did you yell at him?"
"He always steals my stuff. And when I yell at him, Mom gets mad. It's not fair." Eden pouts.
"Now, Eden. Walden is your younger brother. It's your job as a big sister to be nice."
"But uncle Matt tease you all the time." Eden points out.
"Yeah, but he's joking."
Eden didn't say anything.
"Why don't you come down for dinner?" TK asks.
"OK." she gets off his lap & TK walks to the door.
"Dad?" Eden calls out.
"Yes, sweetheart." TK turned.
Eden took a deep breath. "What would you say if I had a Digimon & could go to the Digital world?" she said this all very fast, but TK understood.
His face turned serious. "Eden, what brings this up?"
"No reason. Just wondering."
TK sighs. "Well, I would have to say no."
"Why?" Eden cried out.
"Because you're much too young." TK bends down to her height.
"But you & mom went when you were 8. I'm only 1 year younger." Eden tries
"But we had your uncle Matt, aunt Sora, uncle Tai & aunt Mimi with us. Plus Joe & Izzy were there too."
Eden begins to pout. "That's not fair."
TK stands up. "Sorry, honey. But that's my final answer. Now why don't you come down for dinner?"
"Fine." Eden pouts.
TK grins & walks out.
Eden watches him go, sighing. She turns back to where Poromon was & took her out. "Well, you heard what he said. I can't go."
"But you are a digidestined." Poromon argues.
"I know, I know. I have to go to dinner now. But I'll bring some food back up." She stands up & runs downstairs for dinner.
After dinner, Eden brings some extra cucumber salad up. She walks into her room. "I wasn't sure what you'd like, so I brought some cucumber salad."
But Poromon was gone again. Eden puts the plate on her desk & looks for her. "Poromon, where are you?" She has a moment where she thinks Walden took her again, but realizes Walden's been downstairs the whole time.
"Then where is she?" Eden asks herself, sitting on her bed. "Ow!" she exclaims, jumping up. She looks down & sees a pink weird-shaped thing.
"What's this?" she picks it up & looks at it. It starts to glow. She becomes freaked out & dropped it. It's still glowing though. Suddenly her computer turns on.
She turns & sees a little box open. "What's that?" she wonders out loud, walking over. Suddenly, red covered the screen & a loud roar came out!
Eden jumped back, too scared to scream. She hears her mother calling to her.
"Uh oh, I have to make this go away. Now." Eden looks around for Poromon, but sees nothing. Then she sees the glowing thing.
"Maybe this will work." she picks it up & holds it to the computer.
A pink blast flies out, blasting the red monster back & closing the box. Eden sinks to the floor, heart beating fast.
"Eden, what was that!" Kari exclaims.
Eden recovers. "Nothing, mom. Just my TV!"
"OK. Come down, I have something to show you." Kari's voice fades out.
Eden nods & turns to see Poromon sitting on her bed. "There you are! Where were you?"
"I was stuck between two of your stuffed animals. I heard a roar & tried to get out, but couldn't. I'm sorry." Poromon looks sad.
"Don't worry. I figured it out." Eden stands up. "There's food on the desk. I gotta go downstairs, but I'll be back." Eden runs out of the door, down the stairs & sees…
"Uncle Matt! Aunt Sora!" Eden exclaims, running to give her uncle & aunt huge hugs.
"Hi, Eden. How have you been?" Sora smiles.
"Good. Did you bring me clothes?" Eden asks.
"Eden! That's rude!" Kari scolds.
"It's OK, Kari." she turns to Eden. "In fact, I do. But you have to wait until after dessert for them."
Eden nods & turns to Matt. "Did you have fun at the moon?"
Matt laughs. "Actually, I went to Mars. But same thing. And I did have lots of fun."
"Can I go with you next time?" Eden jumped up & down.
"Maybe." Matt laughs. "You have to ask your mom & dad first."
Eden pouts. "That means I'll never go."
Everyone laughs & the phone rings. Dallas, being the closest, answers it. "Hello, Takaishi resident." There's a pause & Dallas hands the phone to Eden. "It's for you."
Eden answers it. "Hello?"
"OH MY GOD, EDEN!" someone screams into her ear.
Eden pulls the phone away from her ear, causing everyone to laugh again.
"Caitlyn, is that you?"
"Duh. Are you alone?"
"No."
"Go somewhere where you can be alone."
Eden mouths to her parents 'I'm going to the kitchen.' & walks in the kitchen.
"I'm alone now." Eden says. "What's up?"
"You will not believe what happened." Caitlyn starts.
"What?"
"I have a Digimon!"
"Are you serious! I have one too!"
"That's cool!" Caitlyn exclaims. "Mine's a Upamon. What's yours?"
"A Poromon. There are 3 other digidestined in Japan. I wonder who they are." Eden wonders.
"I do too." Caitlyn says. "I have to go. I'm going home right now. But I'll call you tomorrow."
"OK. Bye." Eden walks back into the living room, thinking about who the other 3 digidestined could be."
I'm done. Please RR.
