Chapter 2!! (applauds) And all I had to do was skip my math homework! As always, please review!!
Takeru double clicked on the story, a feeling of apprehension building in his stomach.
The page wiped itself blank, loading up onto the story -- no!
Takeru moaned. What a time to lose his internet connexion.
Next to him, Patamon whacked the computer as hard as he could, but to no avail. The digimon looked at him after the fifth whack. "Should we ask Izzy for help?"
Takeru shook his head, hitting the computer himself. "I don't understand, it always worked when Tai did it." He sat in silence for a moment. "Hey wait!"
Patamon flew up into the air as TK picked up the laptop, unplugging the power cord. "Matt's room always has good connexion," he explained.
Patamon flapped his wings. "I don't know if we should do that, TK," he said cautiously, beating his wings a little slower as he came to rest on top of the keyboard.
Takeru looked at him curiously. "Why not? Wait a second...do that again," he interrupted before Patamon could explain.
Patamon craned his neck up to look at the boy. "Do what again? I didn't do anything."
"Flutter your wings like that. Go ahead, just a little." Patamon complied, rising above the keyboard a bit. TK looked like he'd never seen something more fascinating in his life.
"I think you're interfering with the internet!" Patamon looked hurt.
"I'm sorry..."
Takeru's cerulean eyes left the screen to look at him. "Don't be sorry, it's not your fault. Just back up a little, see if it works again..."
Patamon backed up sadly, squinting his eyes so he could see the screen better. "It's working again!" he said excitedly.
TK nodded, eyes eagerly scanning words on the refreshing web page. He read the summary out loud so Patamon could hear; "Harry and Hikari meet one day in the park while Kari's taking some photos of Takeru. Takeru!" he interrupted the summary, glancing over at Patamon.
"Yeah, I know that's you -- keep going!" the digimon urged, hovering closer. Takeru looked up to check the connexion, but it seemed fine now.
"Harry, having just apparated over to Japan to visit a friend, is surprised to see muggles. He and Hikari start talking, much to TK's jealousy...keep reading to find out what happens!"
Pause.
TK laughed after a moment, though to Patamon it sounded strangled. "Jealous? Why would I be jealous?"
Being his partner, Patamon knew better than to argue with him by now. Instead, he shrugged as best as he could, floating even closer. "Looks like I'm not messing it up anymore," he said happily. Takeru didn't answer. He was probably still foaming at the mouth over being jealous over Hikari.
"Um...maybe you should look up some other story, about you this time," Patamon suggested. To his relief, Takeru snapped out of whatever reverie he was in and typed his name into the search bar.
He clicked the first result that popped up, not all that eager to read through more summaries of him being jealous of Kari with another guy. Hello Hello, In a Place Called Vertigo, the title read.
"I think the title's from a song," Takeru said suddenly as they waited for the page to load. "It sounds so familiar..."
Patamon looked apologetic. "I wouldn't know. Matt would, we can ask him later."
TK shook his head. "It's no biggie."
The page had loaded at long last, and both of them leaned forwards to read.
Sigh.
That's all there really was to it.
Sigh.
"That sounds just like today," Takeru said to himself.
How was your day, Takeru?
Sigh.
Finish your homework, Takeru?
Sigh.
Kari can't come over, she has to help Yolie with a project.
Sigh sigh sigh.
"Wait a second...that IS today!"
I think these are my shortest chaps yet. Is it good?? Review! (And if you already did, just ignore all my repeated cries of 'please review!'. Thanks!)
