"Book of Wishing, please grant my wish...
"I beg you to make me fat no longer..."
-----
Taichi stood staring intently at the sculpture of the book, which had won first place in the art competetion, mostly because it had a story behind it and it was so detailed. Sora had been histarically envious and about ripped both Taichi and Koushirou's heads off when she got the news that she was only second place.
"Do you like it?" inquired a small, timid voice.
Taichi jumped, started from the sudden explosion of noise, even if it was only of low volume. He turned around quickly to see the pretty blonde girl from before.
"Wow..." Taichi whispered, amazed.
"I look... different?" Amaya asked slyly.
"Yes. You lost a ton of weight! You look very pretty now." Taichi said genuienly, taking a sip of his coke, not taking his eyes from the now-skinny blonde.
The blonde puffed her cheeks full of air, an old habit of hers, and put her hand over her mouth, not use to such strong compliments.
"So this is the wishing book?" Taichi inquired of the some-what short girl, returning his gaze to the sculpture.
"Yes. It was the only one that listened to me..." she spoke as she walked toward Taichi and her art work, her eyes not leaving the details structure.
Taichi looked at her wierdly, "What do you mean?" he asked loudly.
"I believe in it... because I begged it to make me lose weight." she spoke so confudently, loudly, staring intently at the sculpture.
Taichi choked on his coke and looked up and down at the girl. "You check in all the books at the school library, right?" Taichi questioned the girl.
"Yes." she noded to help prove her point.
"Who was the first person to check out that book this year?"
Amaya looked at him, barely turning her head and smirked, "Our dear red head friend... Izzy."
"Do you know what he wished for, if he did? Which I do kinda doubt because he's a logical person and doesn't believe in those things."
"Oh, he did. And yes, I know what he wished for. In the back of the book they write down they're names and what they wished for."
"What did he wish for?" Taichi asked suspiously.
She looked at him and inquired, "Are you sure you want to know?"
Tai noded eagerly and she took a deep breath, looking back to the book sculpture.
