"…and then, at age 6, I became the best soccer player." Nicky has been talking for the last 5 minutes. Caitlyn has been listening intently & Eden has been trying hard not to vomit.
"This is sad." she mumbles to Poromon.
"What is sad? Will you cry?" Poromon asks, floating next to her.
"I don't mean crying sad. I mean, pathetic sad." Eden explains.
"Oh." Poromon nods, though not really getting it.
Eden smiles. "Don't worry." She gets up. "Let's go talk to Celina."
Poromon nods & flies after her.
Celina is sitting next to the fire, warming her hands. Now that Eden had a chance to actually look, she took in Celina's traits. She has hazel eyes & long dark auburn hair. She wore a black jacket with a purple tank-top, a dark blue jeans, and black high boots.
Eden looks at her own outfit of a tank top & shorts. She starts to shiver, cursing herself for not wearing a jacket. She feels her straight, shoulder-length boring brown hair up in a ponytail & sighs.
"Hey, Celina." Eden sits down.
Celina looks up & smiles. "Hey…" She stops, thinking.
"Eden Takaishi." She offers.
Celina smiles. "That's a cool name."
Eden blushes. "No, it's boring."
"I agree." Nicky speaks up, walking over with Caitlyn & Demi-Veemon.
Eden glares at him, but before she can say anything, Caitlyn gasps. "Oh my God, where's Upamon?"
All four kids start looking for him.
After 5 minutes, the kids come back, Caitlyn close to tears. "I'm a horrible digidestined. I forgot about my Digimon!"
Eden puts her arm around her. "Don't worry. We'll find him."
Nicky, one of the few times agreeing with Eden, nods. "She's right."
"Did you just say I'm right?" Eden asks, staring at him.
Nicky blushes. "Don't get any ideas. I still think you're annoying." He walks away with Demi-Veemon.
Eden fumes. "Well, I think you're a jerk wad!" But he ignores her. "The nerve of that guy. He is sooo annoying!" She stomps off with Poromon.
Celina & Caitlyn watch them go. Caitlyn wipes her tears. "What was that about?"
Celina sighed. "They are both really stubborn." Turning to Caitlyn, she smiles. "They'll be fine. Let's find Upamon." She turns & calls out "Leafmon!"
A green Digimon crawls out of Celina's backpack. "Yes?"
Celina smiles. "Leafmon, this is…" she pauses again.
Caitlyn smiles & bends down. "Caitlyn Izumi." she moves her hand to touch him, but he slinks back, scared.
Caitlyn stands up. "I'm sorry."
Celina walks over & picks Leafmon up. "Don't worry. He's just a little shy." She turns to Caitlyn. "Ready?"
Caitlyn nods. "Yeah." The two girls walk off.
Meanwhile, Eden is stomping through the forest, still angry. "I can't believe that guy! He is sooo rude & annoying. Imagine Caitlyn actually LIKING him. That's just wrong."
She stops for a bit & looks around. "Great, now I'm lost." She turns back to ask Poromon if she knows where to go, but there is no sign of the flying pink Digimon.
Eden walks around, calling out "Poromon, where are you!" When there's no answer, Eden became scared. She was lost in a forest on a strange world, all by herself. She starts to run out of frightfulness.
She suddenly thinks every small noise is a huge Digimon coming to eat her. She runs faster, tears starting to come down her face.
Eden runs into a clearing & stops for a moment to catch her breath. When she looks up, she sees the ocean & noticed how beautiful the moon looked reflecting off of it.
"I'll take a break. Then I'll head back." She walks down to the beach & sits down, staring at the moon. She starts to think about her parents, Dallas & even Walden. She starts to tear up.
"I hope they're all right. I wish I could tell them how much I miss them." Eden starts to cry.
"I'm sure they miss you too." a voice calls out.
Eden looks up to see Nicky walking over to her. "What do you want?" she asks, trying to wipe the tears.
Nicky smiles, a genuine smile, & says, "You don't have to hide them from me." He sits next to her. "It's OK." He stares at the moon. "I miss my family too."
Eden decides to take a leap of faith. "How long have you been here?"
"Celina & I have been here for about 2 months." Nicky says.
Eden's eyes widened. "Two months? Wow." She looks at the moon. "That makes me time away seem pitiful."
Nicky shakes his head. "No, it's just that you're younger."
Eden actually didn't take offense to this. She agreed with him, but she said nothing. They sat in silence for a minute.
Nicky got up suddenly. Eden watched him. "Where are you going?"
He turns back, smiling. "Do you want to spend all night on this beach, idiot?" He walks into the forest.
Eden fumes. "Idiot? What do you mean by that!" She shouts, following him, angry.
Unknown to them, a girl was watching them. "These are the digidestined? I'll have an easy time getting rid of them." She cackles & slinks off into the darkness.
Once again, sorry for taking long. I know, a 7 year old falling in love is not right, but she won't. So don't flame about it. I'll update as soon as I can & you review as fast as you can.
