888888

Why do I feel like this about you? I hate you. No… that's a lie I love you… but will I ever tell you? I should never have talked to you that night. In the castle… I spilled away everything. Everything you didn't need to know… yet you comforted me… you told me everything was going to be fine… and it did. Why were your words so… so… relaxing?

Flashback

I stood at the balcony staring out into the opening… towards the digital world. I felt so empty. Why? "You'll catch a cold out here you know," a voice said from behind me. "Huh, oh Ryo, what are you doing up?" I asked him. "I should ask you the same thing, but I bet you can't sleep. That's how I was the first couple of nights here… but know its just another thing you need to do," he said. I stood there quietly just looking at him, he was so different standing there in the moonlight. "Penny for your thoughts," he said leaning against the railing next to me.

I looked at him, I can tell him. "Its just hard for me, I didn't really want to come I was a little scared to, but the we planned it and well I guess I just really wanted to come after." I said. With every word weight came off my shoulders. I told how I was feeling, everything, he stood there catching every word, not interrupting me once. I told him how I had been having dreams that everything would end in disaster, that everyone got separated, and I lost Terriermon.

Next thing I knew I was crying…and he stood there… holding me…it changed me. I felt loved. He stood there saying "Hey… don't worry…everything's going to be alright." These words helped me more then ever.

End of Flashback

It's funny you stood there holding me like as if I was a baby, as I cried into your shirt… holding for dear life. Now that I think about it, that was embarrassing, but you didn't care, why? Could it be possible that you feel (or felt) the same way? Naw, that's ridiculous… or do you? I wish I could tell you all this, but it won't happen. I'm to scared. I'm scared you'll look at me in disgust and tell me you never want to speak or see me again. Terriermon tells me I should just go for it… that I'll never know until I try. He doesn't understand. No one does…

"Hey Jen! What are we doing today?" Terriermon asked me as I got up. "Not sure, I think Takato said he would call me," I replied. I slowly stretched. Four years ago today marked the day we defeated the d-reaper, but what was there to celebrate? The defeat of a huge creature- digital creature- and what else. After that we all mostly separated. Well, I guess it wouldn't be so bad, after all it's a good time to see everyone again. "Jen come on down! Breakfast is ready!" my mom cried from down stairs.

"Coming! C'mon Terriermon, let's go eat," I said. Terriermon hopped on to my shoulder and I walked down to the kitchen. I looked around and a wonderful smell hit my face, "Mmmm… something smells good…" Terriermon said. "Alright you two, sit down I'll serve you guys in a minute," said my mom. I sat down next to my sister Jaarin. "Good morning Jen, did my little brother sleep well," she said like as if she was talking to a little kid. I glared at her and said "Do you always have to talk like that to me? It's annoying." She smiled her little smirk, "Of course you're my baby brother. I have to talk to you like that, it's what older sisters do," she said. I glared at her and then sighed, I may be fifteen but she'll never stop annoying me… I rolled my eyes and looked at the plate that had just been out in front of me. Terriermon was already shoving food down his mouth.

I sat there eating when I felt my cell phone go off. I pulled it out. On the small screen a picture I had taken of Ryo and Monodromon was flashing. It was a text message, I blushed slightly and flipped it open. "Why are you so red Jen? Is it message from your girlfriend?" Jaarrin said with mocking voice. I took my phone away from her reach and read it 'Hey Jen! Takato's busy so he asked me to tell you to go to the park at noon, and to be ready! He says he has a surprise…Well I'll see you there! -Ryo'. Terriermon hopped on to my shoulder and read the message. "A surprise huh, wonder what it could be…" he said looking at me funny. "Well see, hurry up so we can leave a little early, okay?" I said. He nodded, jumped off my shoulder and started eating again. "So, what are you guys doing today?" my mom asked as she poured herself some tea. "Don't know. Takato says it's a surprise," I replied.

As soon as I finished my breakfast I went into my room. I picked out my clothes and grabbed my towel, it was only nine but I didn't have anything else to do. I got out and got dressed, and Terriermon played around with a computer game, "Jen! I'm going to the park early! I'm going to meet Ai and Mako!" cried Shiuchon from down stairs. He heard Shiuchon leave, 'Good don't have to worry about taking her along…' I thought. "C'mon Terriermon let's go," I told Terriermon. He struggled with one of the weird aliens. He quit and then jumped on my shoulder. I started to leave when Jaarin suddenly blocked my way. "Oh Jen! Can I come with you?" she said tugging on my sleeve. "No! This get-together is for Tamers only!" I said, she was being really annoying. Jaarin rolled her eyes and said "I know silly! Your about two hours early, I know your not going to the park to baby-sit Shiuchon." I scratched my head and sighed. 'Well at least she won't be going with me later,' I thought. "Fine…Why do you want to come anyway?" I asked, she's never really gone out with me unless it was an errand. She smiled nervously, "Oh I just want to spend time with my little brother! That's all!" She grabbed my hand and rushed me along "Hurry or we'll be late!" she said anxiously. Late? For what? Ok this is starting to get weird…

"Jaarin what are we going to be late for exactly?" I asked after I freed myself from her grip. Terriermon climbed onto my head. "Yea! There's nothing going on until noon! And you aren't exactly going…" he smirked and gave my sister a look. Jaarin nervously tapped her finger on her cheek. Suddenly her worried look was swept away when a voice came out from behind her. "Jen? Terriermon?" I looked behind my sister and there standing was the famous tamer Ryo.
