Oh my God! I'm back & updating! I get to go to Disneyland for the 4 days! So I won't be able to update for my lack of laptop… I don't own Digimon
"So, what was my mom like when she was young?" Eden asked, walking through the woods.
"She was quiet & always thought of others." Gatomon looked downward. "I wish I could see her again."
Eden looked down at the Digimon & smiled. "So do I. But when I go back, you can come with me."
Gatomon shook her head. "I can't."
Eden scrunched her face up. "What do you mean 'can't'?"
Gatomon looked up, eyes gleaming with unshed tears. "What if she doesn't like me? Or recognize me? Or remember me?"
Eden stopped & bent down. "Don't say that. I'm sure she'll remember."
Gatomon looked up at her & nodded, smiling. "Thanks Eden." She begins to walk again. "Now lets get back to your friends."
Eden watched her go, smiling. Hawkmon looked at her. "Why are you smiling?"
Eden looked up & stood up. "No reason. Just because." She begins to walk again. "Let's go."
10 minutes later, Eden hears arguing.
"What do you mean she hasn't come back yet! Why don't we go after her!" the familiar voice of Nicky yelled out.
"If we leave, she'll come back & think we left her!" the normally calm Celina screamed back at him.
Caitlyn watched this, biting her lip. 'Eden, hurry back.'
"What are you guys screaming about?" Eden asked, ducking under a branch.
"Just when you'll get back." Nicky turned back to Celina & opened his mouth. Then realizing Eden was back.
"Eden!" Caitlyn screamed, hugging the older girl, almost knocking her down.
"Caitlyn. Hi. How about leaving me room to breath?" Eden joked, but Caitlyn abruptly let go.
"I was scared something happened." She looked up with tears in her eyes.
Eden felt bad for making Caitlyn cry. "I'm sorry, but I'm back." She brightened up. "And look who I brought back!" She turned to introduce Gatomon, but realized she wasn't there.
"Eden, I don't think imaginary friends count." Nicky joked, walking over to her.
Eden stared at the spot, mouth dropped. "Where'd she go?" she said. She looked at Hawkmon, but Hawkmon shrugged her shoulders.
"She was just here." Eden looked around, walking into the woods, but Nicky stopped her.
"Oh no you don't. We're staying together if it kills me." he says, dragging her back.
"But I gotta find Gatomon." Eden said, but let herself be dragged back.
20 minutes later, the four kids are walking through the forest.
"Um, where are we going?" Caitlyn spoke up.
Celina looked back. "File City."
Caitlyn scrunch her face. "File City? I thought it was an island."
Nicky shook his head. "It's also a city."
Caitlyn nodded, taking this all in.
Nicky smiled at her, but then realized Eden hadn't said anything for a while. He looked back & saw her dragging her feet. He slowed down & began walking with her. "What's up?"
Eden looked up, surprised. "Nicky? Hey." she said, attempting a weak smile.
"What's wrong?"
Eden looked downward & sighed. "Nothing. It's just…" she pauses.
"Just what?" Nicky carefully prods.
Eden looked up at him. "I'm just thinking about Gomamon & Gatomon. What happened to Gomamon to make him hate humans? And where did Gatomon go?"
Nicky threw his arm around her & smiled. "I'm sure Gatomon's fine & Gomamon just needs time."
Eden sniffled, looking up. "Really?"
Nicky nods. "Would I lie?"
Eden's eyes narrowed. "That's a loaded question."
"Hey!" Nicky playfully hits her.
"Child abuse!" she laughs, running away from him.
"When I get you I'll show you child abuse!" he shouts, laughing, running after her.
Celina & Caitlyn watch, sweat dropping. "They're weird, right?" Caitlyn asks.
Celina nods. "Definitely weird."
Aww, that was cute. Once again, RR!
