AND YOU PEOPLE HAVE TO READ THE ONSHOT IN MY ONESHOT THING! IT'S GOT KUDAMON IN IT! CHAPTER 2! CHAPTER 2!!
Anyways! Reviews!
Dark magician girl91, Yay! You like it!
S2Teenovelist, I think this one's longer. It took me a little while, but here it is! And I was sad when Is aw your review for Time for redemption was cut off. I really wanted to know what you thought. And midterms are coming up. My goal is to pass the Geometry one with a passing grade. Biology too. Hopefully English will be a writing assignment. But what can you expect when you're teacher is older than dirt and rus around wearing Neil Sweaters (You know that guy from the Santa Clause with the sweater vests? Those kind of sweaters.) Art's gonna be a breeze, as long as it doesn't involve pastels or colored pencils. And all we do in band is lay around, and eat cookies. And the last chapter was sudden. Writers block does that. tThe ending was so gushy it made me want to barf. a lot. And they need more than major breaks. They need stronger windows. And only the digimon at the valley were revealed to forgive Danny. Who knows what the others are thinking/ And of couse they forgive Gabumon. He was basicly just the host. It was what was inside that they hate. They managed to see that. Wisemon wants Danny dead so he can steal the X anti body from him. He's found out that Danny's not going to listen to him, so it's best to start all over gaian/ Yeha Gabumon was still healing. Lillymon wanted to make sure he was ok. It is kinda looking like season three isn't it? Hmmm...I loved Alice and Dobermon in the one and a half epsisodes they appeared in. Dobermon is awsome, adn he and Dani are perfect for each other. And II'll try to updatethis more.
Cold-heart-angel23, I'm so glad you like it. Only three peopple reviewed this chapter, and it makes me sad.
Disclaimer: I don't own this.
Doberon and Dani came upon Fentonworks towards the evening. The girl looked back at her partner where he stopped in his tracks.
"Are you sure this is the right place?" He asked, uneasiness creeping into his voice.
"Of course I am." Dani replied, smiling. "I know it looks a little weird, but trust me, he's nice, and I'm sure his parents are too."
"I'm not sure." Dobermon said.
"It's fine." The girl smiled. "Just wait in the alley and I'll bring him out to meet you in a while, alright? I want to tell him about my new dog. I won't let him know you're a digimon."
"Alright…" The dog sighed, walking into the alley, and disappearing into the dark.
Danielle walked up to the door, and knocked. She waited for a moment, before smiling as the door was opened.
"Hello." Maddie said, slightly confused. "Who are you?"
"My name's Danielle." The girl smiled. "I'm a friend of Danny's. I came to see him."
"Oh." The woman replied, letting the small girl in.
"He hasn't been feeling well. I'm not sure if he's awake or not." Then after an awkward pause, she belted out the pressing question. "How do you know him?"
"Ummm…" Dani fumbled, looking around nervously. She cringed as she saw her reflection in a mirror. She looked quite a sight.
"He helped me get my…ummm…kite out of a tree! And then he pushed me on the swing. I was in the neighborhood, and I decided to see how he was. I really want to talk to him."
She then smiled innocently, her eyes adopting the look of a puppy's. Maddie sighed, and then grinned, leading the girl up the stairs.
"Danny?" She asked, knocking on the boy's door. "Someone named Danielle's here to see you. She says she knows you?"
There was a pause, and the boy replied,
"Let her in."
Dani walked into the room, smiling when she spotted the boy laying on the bed.
"I'll leave you two." Maddie smiled, shutting the door behind her.
Tsunomon shot Danny a nervous look, and shifted uncomfortably, trying to go unnoticed.
"Hi, Danny." The girl smiled, walking up to the side of the bed.
"Hey." The boy smiled, slowly sitting up. "You were the last person I thought I'd see."
"Well here I am." Danielle giggled. "So what happened? Ghost attack?"
"You could say that." Danny replied, smiling weakly. "So what are you doing here?"
The girl's face fell.
"Well…I can't find anyplace to live. No one will take me in. I've been through four states, everyone seems too caught up in their own lives to even pay attention to me. So I decided to come back here, and maybe…stay…with you for a while. I mean, we're practically siblings. We'd get along great."
She grew nervous as Danny remained silent.
"You don't have to if you don't want to."
"No, It's not that." The boy replied hurriedly. "It's just that, I'm not sure how good that'll go over. A lot of stuff's been happening around here. It might be too much."
"I see." The girl sighed looking over at Tsunomon. She cocked her head in confusion.
"Did that thing move?" She asked, about to touch it, before Danny interrupted her.
"I'm not sure if my parents will let you stay, but I think you can hide out in the ops center if you want. If they come near you, you can use your powers. In little amounts that is."
"I've gotten better with them." The girl perked up. "I don't turn into goop as fast."
"That's really good Danielle." Danny smiled. "Maybe we can beat Vlad up for fun sometime."
"Cool!" Danielle snarled, pounding her fist into her hand. "He deserves it!"
The two laughed. But it was then that Danny noticed the tear in her blue sweatshirt, and the red dried around it.
"What happened?" The boy asked.
Dani looked at it for a moment, and then sighed.
"This weird ghost tried to grab me, but I beat it back. It finally stopped bleeding. But I have to tell you what I found when I was trying to stop the flow."
"What?" Danny asked, cocking his head.
"I found this big dog. He's really nice. He's outside right now. Do you want to see him?"
"I'm not sure." The boy replied.
"Come one Danny. You gotta see him. He saved my life." Danielle insisted, her eyes growing large once again. Danny sighed, and nodded, slowly walking over to the broken window, and phasing through, followed closely by his clone.
"Where is he?" The boy asked, looking around.
"Come on out. It's ok." Danielle called. "He's nice."
There was a long pause.
"Maybe he ran away." Danny suggested, holding his injured arm. The cold bit at it, causing it to sting.
"I know he didn't." The girl insisted. "He's out here. He's just afraid. Come on out. Please?"
There was a rustle behind a nearby dumpster, and a pointed nose emerged, followed by a head, and a body. The creature's red eyes blinked, before they narrowed, and his white teeth flashed in the dimming light.
"What's wrong?" Dani asked, looking between the two nervously. She went over to Dobermon placing a hand on his back, and looking him in the face.
"Stop it. He's my friend."
"So you're the friend she's been talking about so much." The dog snarled, glaring at Danny in contempt.
"So what if I am?" The boy growled, his hand glowing green. He then turned to the girl.
"Get away from him, Danielle." He demanded. "He's dangerous. He's not a dog."
"Maybe she knows that." Dobermon barked. "Maybe you should look at what's around her neck, ghost boy."
Danny glared at the dog only a moment, before his eyes widened in shock.
How could he not have noticed it before?
There, around the girl's neck, was a silver key, a star centered in the middle.
"You…and her…?" He stammered, looking between the two. Dobermon nodded, gently nuzzling the girl beside him.
"She saved my life, boy." The dog growled. "Why is this any different that with your partner?"
"What's going on?" Danielle demanded. She turned to the boy who stood in front of her.
"Does Danny know about…"
Before she could even finish, Danny pulled the golden key from inside his shirt, letting it hang loosely around his neck.
"Yes." He replied. "I know what's going on. Dobermon works for the bad guy. He tried to capture me."
"I was only doing it because of the virus." The dog growled, defending himself. "I'm sure one of your friends could relate. Why did you accept Kyubimon and not me?"
"Kudamon trusted her." The boy spat.
"And what makes Danielle any different?" The dog continued. "You've probably known her longer than your stupid partner! He was one of the Stars too!"
Danny stepped back, at a loss for words.
"You have no way to justify your hatred." Dobermon snarled. "You're being no better than Wisemon."
"Shut up!" Danny shouted.
"Danny stop." Dani demanded. "Dobermon's been protecting me. I thought you'd be happy. But maybe you weren't worrying about me after all."
"Danielle—" The boy began, but the girl cut him off.
"No Danny. I thought you'd think it was cool that I found a friend. I thought you'd be really happy that I was still alive. But…Dobermon's my friend. Isn't that enough reason for you trust him? I mean…you and I…we're almost exactly the same."
"Don't compare yourself to this jerk." The dog snarled. "He obviously isn't big enough to forgive." He then gently nudged the girl's arm, and began to tenderly lead her away. Before they left, he turned his head, staring at the boy behind him.
"How can you expect people to forgive you, when you won't do so yourself? You obviously expect big things from people. Things that aren't going to happen."
They began to continue on.
"Danielle, wait.." Danny said, as he started to follow. "I didn't mean—"
"I know what you meant Danny." The girl said, looking up at the boy, her blue eyes dulled with sadness.
"It's ok."
"You can stay here. Dobermon…can stay…here…" The boy continued. The thought of the little girl on the streets broke past his hatred of the digimon. He could deal with him if things got out of hand, but he couldn't handle Dani getting hurt because he was unable to let a conflict go.
"You'll let Dobermon stay?" Danielle asked.
"Yeah." Danny replied, walking over to the girl. "But he's a little big. Does he get smaller?"
"I don't get smaller." The dog growled. "I dedigivolve. There's a difference."
"Can you do that?" The boy demanded, his inner hackles rising again.
"Haven't done it in a while, boy." Dobermon said, sniffing the air with distain. "But I'm sure I can. I can't believe I have to degrade myself just to stay in your stupid house."
"Dobermon…" Danielle scolded.
"I'm sorry Mockingbird." The dog replied, the edge to his voice vanishing as he nuzzled the girl with his nose. He said it as an affectionate term, much like Kudamon referring to Sam as Raven.
"Come on. Show me." Danny demanded. Dobermon shot him a venomous glare, but complied. He began to glow, a small cream colored puppy left in his place. His tail was a light pink that curled at the end, and his ears matched. He looked up at Danny with his piercing yellow eyes.
"Happy?" He growled, his voice much higher. It felt weird to be in his rookie form again. It had been so long since he had been. Ever since Wisemon gave him that cursed power. He loved Danielle for giving him the option to be who he used to be again. A part of him regretted that he had been too proud at the time to show this side of himself to Alice…his original Mockingbird. He remembered when Alice first came to the digital world, a scared little girl afraid of everything. Zuchquiomon called upon Dobermon to teach her the ways of the digimon, believing that she could be a great spy. It had been a failed attempt, the dog's feelings getting in the way. Alice was always quiet and collected. Danielle was different. Right now the girl was scratching the dog behind his ears.
"You're so cute Dobermon."
"That's not his name now." Danny replied.
"He's right Dani." The small dog added, after giving the boy a cold glare. "My name is Labramon now."
"So it changes?" Dani asked. The two nodded.
"It's cold out here." Danny said, favoring his badly bruised arm. "Let's get inside. I'm supposed to be in bed. Mom's gonna freak."
"Does she know about your digimon?" The girl asked, as they emerged from the alley.
"No. I didn't tell her." The boy smiled, opening the door, and letting the two inside. Jazz had been sitting on the couch, stroking Gatomon when they entered. The cat digimon opened her eyes, and hissed at the dog, her clawed paws digging into Jazz's leg.
"Ow! Ow!! That's my thigh!" The girl yelped, throwing the cat from her lap.
"Something smells wrong about that dog." Gatomon said, getting in Labramon's face. He growled.
"It's a digimon, Gatomon." Danny grumbled.
"Another one?" Jazz asked, walking over. "He's so cute." She patted Labramon between the ears, and looked up a Dani.
"You knew about your little friend didn't you?"
"She has a key, Jazz." Danny continued. The girl picked the key up by the chain and showed it.
"I wonder what it stands for?" Jazz pondered, looking at the star shape. She the smiled at Danielle and held out her hand.
"Hi. I'm Danny's sister, Jazz."
"I'm Danielle." The girl replied, returning the gesture.
Danielle then turned to Danny, a large grin apparent on her face.
"Where's your digimon?" She asked.
"He's upstairs, taking a nap." The boy replied. "He was the thing on the pillow you saw."
"That little thing?" Dani laughed.
"He is a scrawny little digimon. For a scrawny little boy." Labramon spat.
"Behave." The girl scolded. Jazz was taken by surprise by the sudden insult. She could tell by the glare Danny shot it the pup's direction that there was more going on then met the eye.
She was going to have to talk with him.
It was dark when Danny lay in his bed, his medicine already downed, and sleep coming upon him once more. He was unaware of Dani entering the room as his eyes shut for the night. She stood at the edge of the bed, watching him.
"Danielle?" Jazz called. She was walking past the room, when she spotted the girl, and entered. In her hands were some extra blankets, and what looked like an old pair of pajamas.
"You should leave him alone. He needs his rest."
The girl gasped, as she looked behind her.
"I'm sorry." She apologized. "I saw him taking a pill. I was worried."
"He's just a little sick." Jazz replied, running a hand across her brother's forehead. "He's gonna be fine."
"What happened?" The girl prodded. She then spotted Tsunomon peeking out from under the bed.
"I'm going to leave it to Danny to tell you." The other girl smiled, winking at the small digimon. He retreated under the bed once more.
"Oh…" Danielle sighed. "I see…"
"It's ok." Jazz smiled, putting a hand on the girl's shoulder. The smile then faded. "How does Danny know you anyways?"
"I'm going to leave it to him to tell you." The girl giggled.
"I deserve that." Jazz grinned, leading Dani from the room. "I have the guest bed room in the Ops center all done up for you." She continued. "There's even a bed for Labramon up there. And I brought you some of my old pajamas for you to wear. That sweatshirt looks dirty. I'll wash it in the morning."
"Thank you." Dani smiled, taking the clothes and the blankets before she headed up the stairs. Jazz then turned back to her brother and sighed. It was going to be such shame to wake him but she had to know. The question was burning inside of her. She knew that her brother wouldn't mind. He would tell her. She knew everything about him. Why should this be any different? Tsunomon poked out from under the bed again, shushing the girl. Jazz just shook her head, and proceeded to nudge her brother gently. Soon his eyes opened, slowly.
"Wha?" He mumbled almost incoherently. "Jazz?"
"I'm sorry Danny, but…I have to know about Danielle." The girl replied. "Whenever I see her, I see you there, but just for a moment. The way she talks, the way she acts, she's just like you."
"We just have a lot in common, Jazz." The boy mumbled.
"You're not telling me the truth Danny." The girl sighed. "I thought we were past the lies."
"This isn't important right now." Danny smiled weakly. "She's just a girl with a digimon. Just like you and me, and Sam, and Tucker. We all have digimon. That makes us the same."
Jazz glared at her brother, crossing her arms.
"That was so corny, it made me want to barf." She growled. "Danny, just tell me the truth. I had to find out myself with the ghost powers, and Gatomon had to tell me about the digimon. I want you to tell me something for once."
Danny sighed, unable to escape the facts. He turned his face to his sister and began.
"A while ago, I found Danielle in my room. She said that she was our cousin, and I…believed her. I mean, we don't see our family that much, she could've been for all I know."
"She does look kinda like you." Jazz mused.
"Yeah." Danny nodded. "Then I found out…she had…ghost powers, just like me."
Jazz's eyes widened.
"She has ghost powers?" She gasped. "Maybe it's hereditary."
"No. It's not…Vlad showed up, and Danielle turned on me. Next thing I knew, I was in Colorado, in Vlad's lab there. It turned out that Vlad's been trying to clone me for months, and I never knew."
The face of the boy's sister was pale.
"So she's…"
"And imperfect clone of me." Danny continued. "She turned against Vlad and we got out. Then she disappeared. She said that she's been across four states, and she just came back here. I like her…I really do…but…her partner…"
"You don't like him, so you?" Jazz asked. Danny shook his head.
"Her partner used to work for Wisemon. I'm not sure if he still does. The fact that Danielle has his spirit key bothers me even more."
"She's a clone of you." The girl said. "That could mean that…Wisemon could use her to start the prophesy again."
"That's what I was afraid of. If Labramon turns her in, then she's done for."
"We can save her like we saved you." Jazz added.
"I know we can…" Danny sighed. "But she's an imperfect clone. Wisemon's going to push her powers to the limit. The strain will be too much, and she'll revert back to the chemicals that made her structure. I don't want that to happen to her…"
"Then why'd you let Labramon stay with her?" The girl asked.
"Because…he might've changed. How can I expect others to forgive me for what I did, if I won't forgive others? Labramon was right." His eyes then began to droop once more, and Jazz gave him a kiss on the forehead, before she began walking toward the door.
She didn't notice a pair of yellow eyes widen a moment, before disappearing from the door frame, and running up the stairs.
She never saw them…
