"C'mon, c'mon..." I muttered, shoving a bunch of things into my backpack. I was doing the same thing I had done the last time I had gone out of town to Kai's (AN: Adventures' Battle reference) and grabbing as many things as possible to shove into my backpack.
It was late afternoon, and the sun's rays were shining into my room as I started packing for my trip to the Nonaka's beach house tommorrow. I currently was trying to sit on my clothes, trying to force them into a small, compact backpack.
I got launched off of my backpack and hit my back against the wall, the mass of clothes and other things that I had brought with me scattering themselves across the room. "Great, just great..." I said, getting up and dusting myself off a bit.
I proceeded to get up and started to gather my things again. I was never the most organized person when it came to packing clothes.
I picked one of my shirts off from my desk when my eye spotted something. "Hm?" I wondered aloud to myself. I picked it up.
It was a colorful looking letter, covered in stickers and whatnot. Still left unopened. It was adressed to me.
Holding my shirt underneath my arm, I tore the envelope open with a loud ripping noise. Out fell a small piece of paper, and I picked it up, reading the small, neat handwriting.
Dear Takato-kun,
Hey! It's me, Jeri! (:3) I'm just writing to let you know that I'm gonna be comin' back to Shinjuku soon! Isn't that great? I'm gonna bring Katzeimon, too! Katzeimon is what that digimon you gave me -WAY- back before I moved, Kitamon, digivolved to. Katzei and I are great partners, and even though we don't really fight, we take care of each others and get along great!
But I didn't really mean to write about Katzei, although she's kinda looking forward to Guilmon. I think she's kinda interested in him (xD) Wouldn't that be cute? Our digimon could be together, boyfriend and girlfriend, like we are! Hehe! (nn) What I really meant to write about was that when I come and see you, you're DEFINATELY gonna get a kick out of it. I really have changed a lot! I started looking even cuter than I was before. No longer do I look like a little girl - I look all grown up now, haha. (x3)
I can't wait until I'm back in Shinjuku. I miss you so much - I always think about the dates we used to go on and I can't wait until I'm back so that we can do things like that again! Hehe!
Can't wait to see ya, love you always,
Jeri-chan
I strained to remember. Jeri had moved away about two years ago, but my memory of a digimon named Kitamon was faint. Wait...
Now I remembered. I had gone to Alice and her grandfather, asking if it was possible to get a digimon for Jeri, as a parting gift for her before she left Japan. They were able to temporarily take me to the digital world, but I wasn't allowed to tell the others why or what I had picked up there. I ended up picking a small, peach fuzzball of a digimon named Kitamon for Jeri's gift.
She had been thrilled. Kitamon was cute, and fluffy, and it was like "a teddy bear, but better!", or so she said. She cherished that thing - I guess it was 'cause it was the last thing she had of me before she moved.
Weird, how much I had cared about her back then.
I continued to pick up the scattered objects in my room, thinking about that time. She was right - she really HAD changed. No longer was she the motherly-dressed child. No, she had changed... although she had a semi-schoolgirl look, she pulled it off, with that ribbon in her hair and the rose pin on the white ruffles of her tubetop.
Then something else had caught my eye. It was a postcard, the one that I had never bothered to read. I picked it up, inspecting it. It was a photo of a white, sandy beach, and it said "California" on the bottom in yellow cursive font.
I looked at the back. I saw only a couple, simple words.
"Be prepared to be suprised this summer."
That was all. No signature, no nothing. I stared at it.
"Crys..." I whispered. I had no idea that she was going to be here at all. No wonder she had been pretty mad.
I continued gathering my clothes, thinking about the two girls. Jeez, both of them are going to give me a pretty hard time. This was gonna be a -VERY- interesting trip...
Yeah. And before anybody says anything, Katzeimon/Kitamon (c) me... oh yeah. And the whole thing about getting Kitamon from the digital world... if that kinda sounds like Return of the D-Reaper, I SO didn't mean it xx I've been reading that one recently and... well, yeah.
