Sneak Preview of the Next Chapter. (Spoilers, of course) · 5:50am Jan 17th, 2014
Hey Y'all. I'm busy with the new school semester in college, so work on my fic will be a bit more slow than usual. I will keep working on it to the best of my ability, however, and to hold you over until I complete the next chapter I've prepared a sneak preview.
It goes without saying that this is a spoiler for the upcoming chapter, so if you don't want spoilers don't read.
“Ken, I thought you said this was a forest. This place looks more like a jungle!”
Ken and Wormmon turned to face Yolei, who surveyed the landscape atop Halsemon’s back as he flew. Tropical foliage stretched across the ground below, large trees with fanned leaves that formed a thick canopy over the land.
“It’s a rainforest, Yolei,” replied Ken, “jungles are forests.”
“When you said a forest I was expecting something different,” Yolei huffed. “There’d better not be a bunch of icky bugs when we land!”
“What’s wrong with bugs?” asked Wormmon.
Yolei froze “I, er... I didn’t mean it like that! What I meant was, um... Uh...” Yolei’s words died in her throat as she found herself unable to form a coherent sentence.
“You were being insensitive,” interrupted Ken. “You need apologize to Wormmon.”
Yolei was stunned by Ken’s bluntness. She sat in awkward silence for several moments, as if still trying to process what Ken said.
“You’re right,” she finally admitted, “I’m sorry, Wormmon.”
“That’s okay, Yolei,” said Wormmon, “I forgive you.” He crawled up next to Yolei, allowing her to scratch him gently behind the antennae.
“Don’t get distracted, you two,” said Ken, “we need to keep our eyes peeled for the control spire.”
“Huh? What’s the big deal, Ken?” said Yolei, “It’s a huge black tower, how could we possibly miss it?”
Ken let out a deep, heavy sigh. “You know what? Forget I said anything.”
“Ken...” Yolei hesitantly reached a hand out towards Ken, an expression of deep concern crossing her face. Ken turned away and stared off into the distance, and Yolei pulled her hand back.
For several minutes the three sat in silence atop Halsemon’s back. Ken was unwilling to speak, and the others found themselves at a loss for anything to say to him. The silence was eventually broken by a beeping sound that came from both Ken and Yolei.
Yolei reached into her pocket and pulled out her D-Terminal, reading the message that was displayed on the screen.
==========
Hey guys! You wouldn’t believe what I just found! While on the way to the control spire I met this purple pony named Twilight Sparkle, and she’s actually an alien from another world! Pretty awesome, huh?Anyway, it turns out she and her friends came to the Digital World to rescue another pony named Fluttershy, but they ended up getting separated. If any of you guys see another strange pony, let me know, okay?
- Davis
==========“Uh, Ken?”
“Hm?” Ken was pulled out of his thoughts when Yolei called out to him.
“You don’t know if Davis does drugs by any chance, do you?”
Classic Wormmon, Miyako, and Daisuke! And I have a pretty good guess as to what's going through Ken's head right now...
