Chapter 18

Another Friend Arrives

Elizabeth rushed to beat the others to the phone, and she made it first to the phone. You see, Anna was calling again, and she'd left a message earlier when everyone wasn't home stating that it was important.

"Hey, Anna, so what did you want to talk to me about?" Elizabeth asked trying to remember the dream she had last night.

"Yes, I do. Am I on speaker, and if others are around, go to a private room," Anna asked of Elizabeth.

"No, you're not on speaker, and I'm going to my room. What's going on?" Elizabeth asked, trying to figure out the problem.

"Listen and don't scream, but, remember Takuya from Digimon Frontier?" Anna asked fervently, trying not to sound crazy.

"Yes, I know him, why do you ask?" Elizabeth, confused, asked.

"Well, a few minutes ago, he asked where you lived, and he should be over there soon," Anna replied honestly.

"Ok, wow, I didn't know that there are more people that can transcend worlds," Elizabeth responded, a little shocked.

"Well, I have you-know-who to keep me company at my house," Anna giggled, as if giving Elizabeth a clue of who she was talking about.

"Oh, I get you. Thing is, did he blush at all when he asked you where I lived?" Elizabeth asked. She blushed when she asked the question, too.

"Actually, he was. Say, are you blushing over there?" Anna asked, knowing the tone of voice Elizabeth was using showed that she was blushing.

"W-why would you say that?" Elizabeth tried hiding her blush, but it wasn't working very well.

"You're blushing, I knew it," Anna sounded satisfied with herself.

"Jackie, I'm here!" Takuya called to announce his arrival. Elizabeth successfully hid her blush this time, but still jumped and yelped out of shock.

"I take it that Takuya just showed up at your house," Anna still had her teasing voice on, but knew that Takuya was there.

"Yes, he's here. Is there anything else that you'd like to share with me?" Elizabeth asked, hiding her irritation.

"Well, Yugi and I, he and me," Anna stuttered and struggled to find the words to tell Elizabeth.

"They're boyfriend and girlfriend," Takuya finished what Anna couldn't say out loud, loud enough for Anna to hear as well.

"Takuya!" Anna yelled over the phone. Now it was Anna's turn to blush at the comment. Elizabeth giggled with how Anna was taking the situation.

Hey, I made her laugh. That's my first time today, Takuya thought, eager to hear the rest of the conversation.

"Elizabeth! Time for bed!" Mrs. Jones yelled up the stairs. Elizabeth heard her stepmother and hung up with Anna.

"Where am I sleeping tonight?" Takuya asked, floating next to Elizabeth like a spirit.

"I'll try and make a bed for you, don't worry," Elizabeth muttered out loud. It was a good thing no one else was up there otherwise she might've gotten into a lot of trouble. She took a shower, got changed, and went to her room. After turning off the lights, Elizabeth fell into a peaceful sleep.

She never made me a bed! Oh well, guess I get the floor. Can't blame her, she must be tired, Takuya thought to himself. After brushing Elizabeth's hair away from her face, Takuya fell asleep next to Elizabeth's bed.
