Digimon World Wars
Chapter 29 - Partners
(The Next Day)
Standing in the remains of the western village stood SkullSatamon. He stood over a small, round, horned machine digimon that was typing away on a computer SkullSatamon had found in the village.
"Is it done yet Giromon?" SkullSatamon was becoming impatient, if Giromon didn't speed up, SkullSatamon would kill him out of boredom.
"I'm almost done," Giromon eyed his chainsaw that was sitting next to the laptop. 'Why did I have to come out here, this bag of bones is nuts.' SkullSatamon had sent for someone who could hack a computer, and before Giromon knew it Daemon was calling him to his throne room and ordering him all the way out to this crappy little village.
Giromon continued to type and at the same time readied himself in case SkullSatamon attacked. Daemon had personally warned him about SkullSatamon when he sent him out. Giromon imagined that his master was smiling in amusement as he explained SkullSatamon's personality to him, but it was hard to tell since his face was always covered in shadows.
"There, I'm done," Giromon grabbed hold of his chainsaw and floated out of the way as SkullSatamon leaned his head next to the laptop.
"Did you make it believable?" SkullSatamon stared at the screen examining his work.
"Of course I did, it was harder hacking into the computer then putting that little thing together," Giromon turned around, making his way to the desert.
"Where are you going?" Giromon froze, SkullSatamon sounded extremely angry.
"I'm gonna report back to Daemon and let him know the location of the resistance's base, even you can't disagree that Daemon should know -," Giromon was silenced as SkullSatamon grabbed the small machine digimon by his head, "What the hell are you doing?" Giromon swung his chainsaw around but was stopped as SkullSatamon grabbed his arm forcing him to drop it.
"You're not going to tell anyone, I don't want anyone trying to take away my prey!" SkullSatamon yanked on Giromon's arm and proceeded to pull it out of its joint. Giromon screamed in pain as SkullSatamon dropped the digimon's arm and stomped on it.
"You're crazy!"
"Keheheheh, I'm SkullSatamon!" SkullSatamon laughed maniacally as he squeezed Giromon's head, slowly crushing the digimon in his hand.
Between his screams, Giromon managed to activate his failsafe, his last resort, "Heh, I can't believe this... but I actually hope the resistance wins..." Giromon's body began a countdown, "It would be oh so sweet to see you get destroyed by those humans!"
"You're not gonna be able to see anything in a second!"
"...I know!" Giromon grinned as his body self-destructed, blasting SkullSatamon back into one of the old western buildings.

Back at the resistance's base, Andromon stood in the command center while the Guardromon continued their daily routine of checking and monitoring communications and intel.
"Master Andromon, we received a message!" One of the Guardromon sat up and motioned for Andromon to come and see.
"Who's it from... and stop calling me that!" Andromon knew only a handful of digimon knew how to contact his base.
"It's from our fellow Guardromon," Andromon's eyes moved back and forth as he read the message.
"Excellent, they succeeded in finding Datamon," Andromon had a smile on his face as he read the rest of the message which stated that they would be leaving the Omega Continent and be on their way back shortly.
"Guardromon, could you please find Angemon and let him know about this," asked Andromon.
"Of course sir!" Guardromon stood up and marched out of the command center. Andromon took Guardromon's seat and began to type on the computer when another message suddenly appeared.

Back in the medical room, Duo was sitting up in his hospital bed while Sonoko and Kazuha examined and rebandaged his chest for what felt like the millionth time. His hair hung around his exposed back and Sonoko and Kazuha had to keep moving it out of their way as they wrapped the bandages around him.
"How you feeling today?" Asked Sonoko as she finished bandaging his chest.
"I feel fine, can I get out of here now?" Asked Duo hopefully.
"Absolutely not, the Doc would skin you alive if you left," said Sonoko with a chuckle, "you're nowhere near healed, now lay back down." Duo grunted in annoyance and did as he was told. The Doc still wouldn't let him leave, because he feared that Duo would re-open his wound, and he also kept reminding Duo that the cut on his chest was gonna leave a scar for the rest of his life, even though he heard him the first time.
"Alright, I'll see ya Sonoko, Doc asked me to go check on Shuhei's leg again," Sonoko eyed her friend suspiciously as she left the room.
After a few minutes Sonoko opened the door, stopped and turned back around pointing at Duo, "You stay put, I'll be back in ten minutes." Duo grunted again as she left the room, probably to spy on her friend.
Duo sat back up, he was going crazy laying in a hospital bed everyday. On top of that he still hadn't seen his partner, and he was getting a little worried. Normally Duo would rarely get a moment alone because Veemon would be there hanging off his shoulder. Aside from the time he spent a little over a week ago locked in the training rooms and Veemon only visited every now and then to check on him.
Duo turned his head as the door suddenly opened. Duo expected it to be Sonoko or even the Doc coming to check on him, but was surprised to see Haru and Kiru walk in followed by their partners. Haru had managed to talk the Doc into letting him use crutches so he wouldn't have to roll around in a wheelchair. Kiru on the other hand had to keep his arm and chest wrapped up.
"Hey Duo, how you feeling today," said Haru.
"Just peachy," said Duo sarcastically. "Hey I'm glad you two are here," Duo pointed to Dorumon and Strabimon, "have either of you seen Veemon?"
Strabimon and Dorumon exchanged looks, "He's..." Strabimon sighed, "down in one of the training rooms."
Dorumon, "We've tried to get him to come up with us, but he keeps saying he wants to be left alone."
"Sounds familiar," Duo turned to Kiru, confused about what he meant, "you and Veemon are pretty similar... You both like to lock yourselves in the training rooms when you're depressed." Kiru grinned and Duo wanted to kick him in the back of the head.
"That reminds me," thinking about the back of Kiru's head reminded Duo of something, "I need to ask you something, come here a sec."
Kiru leaned in and waited for Duo to ask his question, but Duo never said anything. Kiru suddenly felt his hair fall around his shoulders.
"Hey!" Kiru felt the back of his head where Duo's hairtie had once been, "I was using that." Kiru's eyes widened as he looked back at Duo and saw his hair already braided and tied back, "How the hell'd you do that so fast!" Duo ignored Kiru.
"Which training room is Veemon in?" Dorumon answered and without saying anything Duo slowly got out of his hospital bed, grabbed his vest and threw it on over his bandaged chest before walking out of the hospital.
Strabimon, "Should he be up and about?"
"Never mind that," said Kiru, "Haru, did you see him tie his hair?"
Haru shook his head, "I blinked and missed it..."

"Negi... what are we doing, I'm hungry!" Veedramon rubbed his big stomach.
"You're always hungry Veedramon," Negi turned around the corner as Duo passed him. Negi stopped and did a double take as Duo disappeared around the corner, "Must be seeing things, there's no way the Doc would let him out of the hospital yet."
"Where are we going Negi?" Asked Veedramon.
"Command Center," Negi pulled out his digivice and checked the message he had received just a few minutes ago, "Andromon wants to see whose willing to take a trip with him to the Delta Continent's capital city, GranDelta."
"Why?" Said Veedramon uninterested, all he could think about was food.
"I don't know, that's why we're going to find out pal." Negi continued to stare at his digivice as he walked around another corner and collided with someone, "Oof!" Negi fell over and landed on top of the person he ran into, "Ow, sorry about that!" Negi looked down to find himself on top of Nodoka who was as red as a tomato. Negi's face went red and he jumped off her in an instant, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
"No I'm sorry," squeaked Nodoka. Veedramon watched the two of them as they exchanged apologies for what felt like twenty minutes. Negi bent down and picked up the books Nodoka had been carrying and handed them back to her.
"Uh, what have you been up to lately, we haven't seen you or Lunamon around lately," said Negi.
"Oh, I... I've just been in my room," said Nodoka, turning away.
"Is something wrong?"
"No, I'm fine... I'll see you later Negi, Veedramon," Nodoka walked away leaving the two of them standing there.
After she left Veedramon turned to Negi, "I don't think she was telling the truth Negi." Negi nodded in agreement.
"Someone needs to talk to that girl," Negi jumped as Yumichika suddenly appeared behind him.
"Where did you come from?"
"What are you talking about, we were just walking down the hall," said Falcomon, suddenly appearing at Yumichika's side.
"What do you mean someone needs to talk to her, what's wrong?" Asked Veedramon.
"Well I heard Elie talking to Setsuna about her," started Yumichika.
"Why were you eavesdropping Yumichika?" Asked Negi, giving Yumichika a suspicious look.
Yumichika flicked Negi in the forehead, "I was sitting right behind them, I couldn't help but hear, now stop looking at me like that." Negi rubbed his forehead in annoyance as he waited for Yumichika to explain.
"From what I heard our little encounter with SkullSatamon really frightened her," explained Yumichika.
"I wouldn't call that little, that guy tore us all apart like we were nothing," Veedramon got angry just thinking about it.
"The point is, it really shook her up," said Yumichika.
"I think it shook all of us up," Negi remembered how scared he had been, watching the fight, scared that Veedramon might die and he wouldn't be able to save him. Negi had been knocked out after SkullSatamon hit them all with his shockwave attack and woke up back in his bed with a slight concussion. His first thought when he woke up was where Veedramon was. He had never felt more relieved to find his partner snoring like a wild boar next to him, despite his injuries.
"Yeah I agree, but there's a difference between us and her," continued Yumichika.
"What do you mean?"
"She's a scared fourteen year old girl, who is only here because she felt she had to be," said Yumichika, "deep down, I don't think she wants to fight or see anyone get hurt."
Negi was silent as he thought about what Yumichika said.
"Yumichika, aren't we suppose to be meeting in the command room?" Asked Falcomon after a few seconds.
"Oh, right," Yumichika walked past Negi who was still in deep thought, "you two coming?"
"Oh," Negi snapped back to reality, "yeah, sorry. Come on Veedramon."

Sonoko was walking down the hallway, making her way back to the medical room. As she did she passed Negi, Yumichika, Falcomon, and Veedramon and waved to them as they walked by. The four of them nodded and said hello before continuing on their way.
Sonoko sighed in boredom and put her hands behind her head, 'She really was just checking on his leg, I thought there might have been something more going on. How boring.' As she neared the door to the medical room Kiru, Haru, Dorumon, and Strabimon walked out. The four of them all jumped when they saw her coming.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Sonoko eyed the four of them suspiciously.
"Oh nothing," said Kiru, trying to act as normal as he could.
Sonoko gave them all another suspicious glance and walked past them to the medical room entrance. Kiru, Haru, Dorumon, and Strabimon were all trying to slip away quietly as Sonoko pushed open the door and found Duo's bed empty.
"Hold it you four!" The medical doors flew back open and Sonoko ran out glaring at them.
The four of them all sweatdropped and slowly turned their heads around.
"Where...Is...He!" Sonoko took a step forward.
Kiru, "BEAT IT GUYS!" The four of them ran around the corner, with Haru in tow, who was moving unusually fast for a guy on crutches.
"COME BACK HERE YOU IDIOTS!"
0101010101-
Negi and Yumichika walked into the command center and found it pretty packed. Setsuna, Lavi, Shikamaru, Renji, Kanda, Elie, and their partners were already sitting around the large table.
"Hey Andromon," Negi walked in and waved to Andromon and everyone else, "What's going on?"
"Well it seems there's a rumor about a new group of destined in the capital city of GranDelta," explained Andromon.
"A rumor? How do you know if it's true?" Asked Falcomon.
"We don't, but even so it's worth investigating," Andromon waved to Asuramon and Asuma as they walked in, "Even if it turns out to be false, it's still worth going, since it will give some of you a chance to meet Lady Ophanimon."
"Oh I've heard of her, she's the guardian of GranDelta ain't she?" Asked Lavi.
"She is now, she used to be one of the three Celestial Digimon," explained Andromon, "When Lord Cherubimon was killed and Lord Seraphimon sacrificed himself, she abandoned her title and chose to stay at GranDelta in order to protect the digimon that lived there from DATS and Daemon."
"Well I'm in," said Lavi, "me and Guilmon could use a break from this place." Guilmon nodded and Lavi patted his partner's head.
"You make it sound like there's something wrong with my base," said Andromon with a chuckle.
"I'll go, I'd really like to meet Ophanimon," said Setsuna. Renamon nodded from her corner of the room where she was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.
"I wanna go Elie, it sounds fun," said Terriermon.
"Count us in Andromon," said Elie jumping out of her seat. Kanda suddenly stood up and made his way to the door, "Kanda's going too!"
"Huh!" Kanda stopped and turned around, "Why should I?"
"Cause Commandramon wants to go," Elie pointed to Kanda's partner, who was looking back and forth between Kanda, Andromon, and Elie with hopeful eyes. Kanda struggled for a few seconds before conceding defeat.
"Alright we'll go," Kanda sat back down and Commandramon smiled at him.
"Renji can we go too?" Asked the bigger of the two Agumons.
Renji shrugged his shoulders, "Sure, why not."
"If you're going, I wanna go too big bro," said the smaller Agumon. Lately Shikamaru and Renji's Agumons had taken to calling each other big and little bro, "Can we Shikamaru?"
"Oh alright," said Shikamaru as he placed another cigarette in his mouth. Before he could light it Setsuna plucked it out of his mouth.
"You need to cut back," said Setsuna as she tossed the cigarette over her shoulder. Shikamaru groaned in annoyance.
"At least he doesn't smoke as much as Sanji," said Agumon in his partner's defense.
"Someone say my name?" Everyone turned their heads as Sanji walked in followed by Toshiro, Musica, and their partners, sure enough there was a lit cigarette in his mouth.
"What's going on guys," said Musica, giving a wave to everyone, Wormmon crawled up his partner's shoulder and waved cheerfully to everyone as well.
"Good, you three are here, I got room for two more, any of you want to go to GranDelta?" Asked Andromon motioning to Negi, Sanji, Yumichika, Toshiro, and Musica.
"Hold on Andromon, I want to go," said Asuramon suddenly.
"Really?" Andromon was surprised, it was hard enough getting Asuramon out of his personal training room, much less all the way to GranDelta.
"Yeah, I got some old drinking buddies there, wouldn't mind seeing them," said Asuramon with a grin, "you want to come Asuma, I think you'll get along with them just fine."
Asuma, "Sure sounds fun."
"Alright then, there's no more room on the ship and I do want some of you to stay here in case of trouble," said Andromon. "Although with my barrier there shouldn't be any danger."
"What about Angemon, don't you think he'd like to go?" Asked Asuma.
"No... he already told me, he'd rather stay here," said Andromon. He didn't want to dig any deeper into why Angemon didn't want to go to GranDelta.
"Alright you guys have fun," said Musica, "we'll hold down the fort."
"We will," said Elie excited, "who knows we might even bring back some new allies with us."
Everyone began to get up and leave, some went to pack a few things, some went back to their normal routines.
"Come on Coronamon, let's get back to the kitchen and whip something up," said Sanji. Coronamon nodded, and Veedramon's stomach suddenly growled.
Negi laughed at his partner, "Go ahead Veedramon, I'll meet you in the cafeteria." Veedramon grinned and pulled Negi into a bear hug, lifting the twelve-year-old boy off his feet.
"Thanks pal!" Veedramon took off down the hall following after Sanji and Coronamon.
Nearly everyone had left except Setsuna, who stopped and turned around to ask Andromon one last question, "Hey I wanted to ask, how are those people Duo's group brought back doing?"
"They're adjusting, but they seem alright," said Andromon, "although I hear the young boy is still having a hard time dealing with what happened." Setsuna was silent for a moment before nodding and making her way to the door, where Renamon was waiting.

Duo was slowly making his way down a flight of stairs. His trip from the medical room was already tiring him out.
'Jeez, maybe they had a point when they told me to stay in bed,' Duo sighed in relief as he reached the bottom of the stairs and into the empty hallway. Slowly he began the long walk to the training room where Veemon was. Duo was silently hoping Sonoko or Kazuha didn't show up and stop him, or worse the Doc. Like Sonoko said, he'd probably skin him alive.
As Duo made his way around a corner, he encountered someone he didn't want to see even more than the Doc. The short old woman and her grandson were walking down the hallway and when they saw him, made their way over.
Duo fought the urge to turn around and run, he didn't know if he could bear to face them.
"Young man, you shouldn't be out of bed, your doctor told me that with your injury you would need to rest for a couple of weeks," said Sayo concerned. Duo couldn't help but notice that Leon still had silent tears spilling down his face.
"I... I just..." Duo struggled, guilt was beginning to consume him again. Duo lowered his head and walked past them, "I'm sorry."
"Wait young man," Duo stopped in his tracks, but continued to face down the empty hall away from Sayo and Leon.
"Please don't blame yourself for what happened, if you hadn't been there all of us would have died."
"Why... why are you treating me so nice. You should hate me, they died because I wasn't strong enough."
"You expect too much of yourself, it's hard but you can't save everyone," Duo imagined that tears were rolling down her face as she spoke to him. "It was their choice, they chose to make that sacrifice to save us, they put their faith in you and your partner to carry out their will and protect us... and you succeeded, we're still here, and they would be beyond thankful to the two of you for that."
Duo felt rooted to the ground, could what she say be true. Did they put their faith in him and Veemon.
"If what you say is true, then I swear to the two of you right now," Duo slowly turned his head so that he could see them out of the corner of his eye. "Me and Veemon will protect the two of you and never allow any harm to come to either of you..." Duo turned around and made his way back down the hall. If Kuwagamon and Kunemon had wanted him to carry out their will and protect the people who were important to them, then that's what he would do until the day he died.
Sayo sighed as Duo walked out of sight, 'That stupid boy, I only wanted him to stop blaming himself, I didn't want him to have to carry any more of a burden than he already is.'
0101010101-
Up two floors of Andromon's base, Sonoko continued to chase Kiru, Haru, Dorumon, and Strabimon through the halls. Surprisingly Haru was leading the pack, his Silfarion clenched between his teeth.
"That's cheating Haru!" Shouted Sonoko from down the hall, "Where's Duo at! You bunch of dumbasses!"
The four of them continued running down the hall as Sonoko slowly closed in on Kiru who was at the back of the pack.
"Hey Toshiro, you hear something," Gabumon and Toshiro walked down the hallway as the sounds of a stampede closed in on them.
"Watch out Gabumon," Toshiro pulled Gabumon to the side as Haru and Dorumon ran past them.
"Wow, Haru must be trying to set some kind of record for fastest man on crutches," said Gabumon.
"What are these guys doing?" Toshiro turned his head back down the hall as Strabimon and Kiru flew by, with Sonoko at their heels.
"Well that was interesting," said Gabumon with a smirk.
"Whatever, let's get down to the training rooms, I need some sword practice," Toshiro and Gabumon turned back down the hall, making their way to the elevator.
Strabimon, "Kiru, what do we do?"
"We run faster!" Kiru and Strabimon picked up their pace, widening the gap between them and Sonoko, "Duo better appreciate what we're doing for him!"
"Damn it Kiru!" Shouted Sonoko, who was starting to tire out, "Don't make me call the Doc!"
Kiru and Strabimon started to panic, "You wouldn't dare!"
0101010101-
Nagisa opened the door to her new room. She could hear the sounds of shouting down the hall. Wondering if something was wrong she made her way around the corner.
"Eeeek!" Nagisa jumped back around the corner as Haru and Dorumon flew by her, "What are you doing and how are you moving so fast like that!?" Haru didn't hear her as he rounded another corner and disappeared, crutches and all.
Nagisa turned her head again as Strabimon came into view, "Strabimon what's going on?"
Strabimon didn't answer as he too ran past Nagisa and out of sight. "My god, where's the fire at?" Nagisa turned her head back around as a forth person collided into her. Kiru had been running while arguing with Sonoko, and hadn't been watching where he was going. Nagisa fell flat on her back as Kiru landed on top of her. She groaned as her head started to throb, slowly she lifted her head and felt something pressing against her lips.
Both Kiru and Nagisa's eyes went wide as they realized their lips were locked with one another's. Kiru jumped back, his face bright red, "Sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going!"
"KIRU!" Kiru turned his head around as Sonoko grabbed him by his ear, lifting him to his feet, "Come with me, you're gonna tell me where Duo is!"
"Ow ow, fine! Just let go of my ear would ya!"
"Wait a second!" Sonoko and Kiru stopped as Nagisa suddenly spoke, her voice sounded low and angry, "Get in line, I've got a bone to pick with him first!" Kiru yelped as Nagisa grabbed his other ear.
Sonoko, "He needs to tell me where Duo is!"
Nagisa, "He needs to get his ass kicked for what he just did to me!"
Kiru's face was alive with pain as the two girls played tug of war with his ears, "Girls! You're gonna rip my ears off, AND I NEED THOSE!"
0101010101-
Duo finally reached the door to the training room Veemon was supposed to be. Duo felt completely exhausted, he stopped outside the door and took a couple of seconds to catch his breath before opening the door and stepping into the room.
Duo could hear the sounds of fists colliding with a punching bag, and sure enough found Veemon beating the stuffing out of one that was lowered to where he could reach it. Duo couldn't help but sigh at the irony, maybe Kiru had a point about them being similar in this case. Duo had been doing the same thing before Setsuna came and helped him out of his funk.
"Hey buddy."
Veemon jumped in surprise and fell face first into the floor.
"Duo!" Veemon rubbed his forehead before rushing over to his partner, "What are you doing here, you need to rest!"
"I'll be fine for a few minutes," Duo leaned back against the wall and sat down on the floor. Duo motioned for Veemon to sit down next to him. Veemon slowly walked over and sat down next to his partner.
"So, you gonna tell me what's up?"
"Sorry I didn't come check on you..."
"You don't have to apologize, I just want to know what's got you depressed. Is it what happened to Kuwagamon and Kunemon?" Duo realized that their sacrifice must have been harder on Veemon, since they passed their data to him.
"That's part of it..." Veemon and Duo kept their eyes focused straight ahead as they spoke, "ever since they gave me their data, I haven't been able to sleep. It's like they became me, I have their memories, I remember the day they met that little boy and his grandmother like it actually happened to me..." Veemon's voice trembled a little as he spoke, "It's horrible..."
Duo thought hard about what Veemon said. If Veemon was having this hard a time dealing with having Kuwagamon and Kunemon's data loaded onto his own, then how could there be digimon who constantly kill and load data. Their own identity and soul would be lost among those of the digimon they kill.
"Sayo said that Kuwagamon and Kunemon put their faith in us. They wanted us to protect the people that were important to them." Veemon looked up at Duo as he spoke, "I want to honor that, I'll protect those two for the rest of my life."
"Then so will I." Veemon felt just a little better hearing that, he would protect Sayo and Leon to thank Kuwagamon and Kunemon for their sacrifice.
"There's something else bugging you isn't there?" Veemon nodded.
"Do you remember the first time we fought against Striker and you got really injured?" This time Duo nodded. "When you were laying in Babamon and Jijimon's house I made a promise to myself. I promised that as your partner I wouldn't allow you to get hurt like that again."
"The second time you fought with Striker, you got injured again. I didn't say anything but I kept blaming myself. I know you wanted to fight him yourself, and I know it was your choice, but still I felt it was my fault, maybe if I had finished Striker off in the real world you wouldn't have been hurt again. I resolved to get stronger so it wouldn't happen again. But then SkullSatamon appeared and again you were injured, I didn't show it but I was starting to feel like I was a failure as your partner. I wasn't able to digivolve and stop SkullSatamon, and not only did you get injured but so did a lot of our new friends."
"Veemon don't blame yourself for me getting hurt. I get hurt because I'm an idiot who jumps into battle without knowing my own limits." Veemon ignored what Duo said.
"Then the battle against MetalTyrannomon and that guy with the scar on his eye, you got seriously injured again. Not only that, but two innocent digimon were killed."
"Veemon -" Duo was cut off.
"How can I be your partner if I can't protect you. It's my job right, my purpose -," Veemon was cut off as Duo smacked him in the back of the head, "Hey! What was that for?"
"For you being an idiot," said Duo as he slowly stood up, "You haven't failed at being my partner, cause if you weren't there next to me during most of those times, I would already be dead." Veemon stared at Duo's back and thought about what he said.
"Once the Doc let's me out of the hospital, you and me are gonna get stronger, no matter what. I want to protect everyone here," Duo turned back to Veemon and gave him a smile, "and there's no one else I'd rather have standing at my side than you... You with me, partner?"
"Yeah," Duo offered his hand to Veemon and pulled him to his feet.
"Promise me something Veemon, don't ever blame yourself for me getting hurt. Injuries are nothing to me, and I always bounce back good as new."
Veemon felt a little better and nodded before following behind Duo as he opened the door to the training room. Veemon suddenly bumped into Duo and stepped back wondering why Duo had stopped walking.
As soon as Duo saw who was standing outside the door he froze and started to panic, "Oh... shit..."
"MAXWELL!" The Doc's booming voice could be heard all around the base.

Thank you for reading and Please, Please, Please, Please Review. Getting a little desperate...
Notes
This chapter didn't quite come out exactly as I wanted it, but close enough.
I'm not quite sure how many more chapters I'll put into Part 1 of my story. But I can say that I'm getting close to the end of Part 1.
