Chapter 3
"derp" spoken word
"Derp" thoughts
"DERP" digivice
I woke up to the sound of birds chirping, the sun shining on my face, and something furry lying on top of me...? I opened my eyes to see a sleeping Mirari lying splayed out across my body. One of her arms was wrapped tightly around my body and her head was resting contently on my chest. "So much for staying on your side," I whispered. Her ears twitched when I spoke but she showed no sign of being awake. I let out a sigh of relief and started to think about how adorable Mirari is right now, especially when her ears twitched. But all good things must come to an end and no matter how cute she looked I had to get up. I didn't wake her up though, I just slowly wiggled out from underneath her. By the way it is a lot harder than it sounds and if you don't believe me you try it next time there is a sleeping Renamon lying on top of you. After I managed to untangle myself from my partner I went to take a shower like I do every morning. Supposedly keeping a routine will help me with my rehabilitation. When I entered the bathroom I stopped to judge myself in the mirror like everyone does, don't lie you know you do. I'm not the best looking guy in the world, but I'm not ugly either. With an average run-of-the-mill mildly athletic build I don't think I'm going to pick up every girl I see. Besides Mirari probably won't let that happen anyway. Plus my pale skin and pitch black emo style hair definitely separate me from any 'cool' crowd. All in all though I'm satisfied with how I look, it's me and I'm proud of it. I took my shower and stepped out. "Damn, forgot to bring in some clothes." Then before I could act on that thought Mirari opened the door a crack and dropped some in. "I figured you would forget so I got some for you," she said from behind the door. "This is what you usually wore. You don't look like you've grown so they should still fit." "So you're saying I'm short?" I replied with a smirk. "Wait. What? No, I mean..." "It's okay, I was only joking. I'll be out in a minute." The clothes she left were a pair of black jeans, a dark grey v-neck, a pair of pair of purple fuzzy socks which I hesitantly put on but found to my liking, and of course some boxers, duh. I looked at myself in the mirror, again, and found the outfit fit me well. When I left the bathroom I found Mirari waiting for me down the hall. "How do I look?" I said while posing in the 'coolest' way I could think of. "Great, but your missing one thing." "Oh, and what's that?" "Give me a second," then she disappeared. "Mirari!" "What?" I turned to look and saw her behind me. "Where did you go?!" "I just phased into our room and back." "Phased?" I asked with a very confused look on my face. "Yeah, it's kind of like teleporting. All Renamon can do it." "Um ok, but why? You nearly gave me a heart attack." "To get this of course," she was holding up a black bomber jacket, "It's your lucky jacket." She walked up and handed it to me. "By the way don't worry, I'm will never let anything separate us." She then pulled me into a warm hug and placed a gentle kiss on my head. "Good to hear," I stuttered trying to slowly break away. "So what do you want to do?" "Well there's a park down the street that isn't busy this time of day." "But what if someone is there?" "Then ill just phase out of sight." She could tell by the look I was giving that further explanation was needed. "Another part of phasing is basically like turning invisible." "Sweet. Alright then, lets go." I put on my jacket and a pair of Chucks, and made my way out the door with Mirari right beside me. . . . The park was beautiful. The only noises were those made by nature and the sound of our voices. The trees were tall enough to block the city sounds. Mirari and I walked and talked about the past. Just about little things, she wanted to make sure I wasn't overwhelmed like last night. Apparently we weren't the best of friends from the start. In the beginning Mirari thought I was annoying, dumb, and she hated my hair for some reason. She even tried cutting it while I slept one night. "We finally became friends after you nearly died while trying to save me," she said. "Really, what happened?" "It was one of our first few rouges. All the ones before it where incredibly easy, even if there was no coordination between us." "What do you mean?" "You where pig headed," she said with a smirk. "Anyway when we got there we found a BlackAgumon tearing up the place. It turned out to be a champion level one but we didn't know at the time because someone forgot to check," she looked right at me accusingly," and with our lack of communication I was thrown all over the place. Things didn't look good, I was barley able to move, you where paralyzed with fear, and BlackAgumon was charging a final Pepper Breath. Right as he fired I closed my eyes, I had already given up, but nothing happened. Then I heard you scream. I saw you lying in front of me burnt and bloody. I've never been so scared in my life." She was crying in my arms at this point while I slowly stroked her fur. "Then I became enraged and that anger gave me a new sense of purpose. I took that piece of shit and made him beg for death. You where barley breathing when I was done. I picked you up and told you that I never really hated you, you where my best friend, actually more than that. I told you I loved you. Then all of a sudden my data poured into you, it was killing me but I didn't care. I would have died if it wasn't for that BlackAgumons data, guess the bastard was good for something after all. I healed you and when you opened your eyes they looked right into my soul, then you slowly moved your head toward mine. We kissed for the first time that night, it was like I found my purpose in life. When we broke away you said.." "I love you." I turned to her and she to me, fresh years were in her pleading and joyful eyes. "I mean, that's what I said right?" "Oh....yeah. That's how we started out," she said with in a whisper, her face turned away from me.
"We'll shit, I really screwed things up now." I quickly tried to think of a way to cheer her up, but it turns out I didn't need to. I looked at where she was but I didn't see her. Instead she was rolling on the ground laughing like crazy. I don't know why but I couldn't help myself from falling over and laughing too. We stopped a few minutes later and just watched the clouds. "As I was lying there the memory of our first kiss flashed in my head and filled me with warmth and comfort."
"Do I love her?" Mirari rolled over and layer her head next to me. "Maybe I....." A feeling of sheer coldness swept over me and I could feel Mirari's fur stand up. A bright light was shining from inside my jacket pocket. I quickly reached inside it and pulled out my digivice. "What's going on, I didn't even bring this." I turned to Mirari who was already up on her feet. "Seth, there's a rouge coming." "A rouge. Where?" Just then a thick fog appeared over the center of the park. "Oh. Nevermind." "Come on." "Right behind you." . . . We got there a minute later, and the fog was still in a dome shape over the center. "Is it still in there?" I asked. Mirari didn't reply, she just charged in there head first. "And I'm the pig headed one," I said following her lead. The fog cleared in the middle of the dome like a stadium. Standing in the center where Mirari and some black and white dragon thing with red claws and a red jewel on its head. I had no idea what it was but luckily for me my digivice did. "DORUGAMON. CHAMPION LEVEL. PRIMARY ATTACK: POWER METAL." A hologram of it appeared on the screen with some stats as well. From across the field Mirari called, "Just stay back Seth. I've got this." Then the fight began. Dorugamon lunged at Mirari with its jaws apart. Just as he was about to chomp down Mirari phased behind him and delivered a roundhouse kick to the back of its head sending it flying into the ground. I have to admit it was probably one of the coolest things I have ever seen. The Dorugamon had some fight in him though and with surprising speed it spun around trying to hit Mirari with its tail. She was faster and easily jumped over it, but it was a distraction for his next attack. "Power Metal!" Metal cannon balls came flying out of its mouth and slammed into Mirari before she could react. "Mirari!" I yelled as I ran towards her. "Stay back. I have everything under control," she yelled back. Before I could protest she got up and charged at Dorugamon. They exchanged blows for a few minutes showing neither showing signs of letting up. Mirari just dogged another "Power Metal" when she tripped and stumbled backwards. Dorugamon took the chance and charged at her again. "No. She isn't going to make it. I need to do something, but what?" But I knew what. Without even realizing it I stuck my hand into the air above my head causing a card to appear in it. With my digivice in the other I swiped the card in the reader on the side. My whole being was filled with power but Mirari needed it, not me. "Hyper Speed Activate!" I shouted sending the power to Mirari. In a spilt second she was gone and 3 feet behind Dorugamon, but I wasn't over yet. I summoned another card and swiped it too. "Power Activate!" With the speed I previously gave her, Mirari delivered a quick series of punches and kicks with her added power dazing Dorugamon, finally Mirari had an opening. She kept into the air, spread her arms, and summoned hundreds of blue shards all around her. "Diamond Storm!" The shards fly at an amazing speed toward Dorugamon, and they tore him to shreds. Once Mirari finished absorbing Dorugamon's data, which was a strange sight indeed, she walked over to me. "Well you handled that nicely," I stated making her laugh a little. "Yeah, no help from you," she said sarcastically. "Mirari I thought I was going to lose you." "Shhh. Lets not talk about that know," she said while hugging me. "Instead lets go home. We haven't even had breakfast." Just then my stomach grumbled loud enough for us both to hear. "Yeah. I think I'd like that," I chuckled. So we made our way home silently, hands entertwined without our notice.
