Anyways readers, I’m sorry to you Yama-lovers out there, but I’m partial to Tai ;) Anyways, I’ve got lots about Matt in here to satisfy your cravings :) I also put part of myself in here, guess which one is me haha.. :) Anyways, this is more romance than action, but I think guys’ll like it to! Well, when I get my scanner fixed, if you email me I’ll try to send you a pic of my new character, Trinity. Now keep in mind, I’ve only been able to draw anime for about a week so I’m not any good haha :) Anyways give me your input on the story.. it took forever to write! (And I am proud of it thank you very much!) And also tell me (if you have the time.) Should it be Tai and Sora together, or Sora and Matt? (And if any of you say Matt and Tai, I will personally hunt you down! Tai and Matt aren’t fruity.. I repeat Tai and Matt ARE NOT GAY!) Anyways here’s all the stuff I guess you need to know...

The 9th Digidestined

By:Sarah Holton
The Destined were walking through the forest one day (when are they not walking through the forest, tell me!) when Sora heard a noise in the trees above them. She had a strange feeling that someone was watching them. She ignored the feeling, and just walked on.
Later that evening, the 8 (yes Kari too) were sitting around a camp fire when Sora heard a rustling in the bushes behind her. She whispered, “Tai......?” Sora went over to the bushes and looked through the foliage. She gasped and jumped back at what she saw. She had seen a pair of eyes. Not digimon eyes, but human ones. And what was strange was they looked almost exactly like Tai’s eyes! Those same dark brown eyes that seemed to bore into your soul. She whipped around, thinking maybe Tai was fooling with her head, but there was Tai, sitting accross the fire from her. Tai said, “Sora, what is it? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Sora replied, “ I ... I saw something.. in the bushes....”
Tai said, “What?” He ran over to the bushes and yelled, “Whatever you are.. Whoever you are.. come out now!” The others slowly came up behind him.
“Jeez.. I knew I should’ve been a little more secretive....” a female voice came from inside the bushes.
Sora and Tai gasped as a slim girl came out of the bush.
“Sarah!!!!” they yelled in unison.
“I... I don’t go by that name anymore....” A look of sorrow flashed briefly on her face, but only Matt noticed.
“Hmmm... maybe this girl will understand.. “ he thought.
“Well, S... I mean.. uh... well what do you go by?” Tai asked..”And.. why were you hiding from us.. and how on earth.. or.. uh.. digiworld did you get here anyways?”
“Tai, nice to see you again...” she smiled. “I go by the name Trinity now, and if you.. any of you calls me Sarah ..” she shuddered” or Trinny, you won’t see the next day, I promise you. “ She giggled and then went on, “I.. I dont know how I came here, but I’ve been following you around for the past week. I’m the ninth digidestined, and here’s my digimon.” A black wolfish digimon stepped out of the bush too, “Hello” it said,” My name is Neomon!” (Authors note: Okay so I like The Matrix, so sue me!)
TK stepped up and said, “Hello... um.. Trinity ^_^! How come you look kind of like Tai? And how do you know Sora and Tai?”
“Well little fella, how bout you introduce me to your friends, and then I’ll talk about myself a little bit ok?” she replied.
TK said, “Okey doke.... This is my brother Matt.” He pointed to a tall blonde with cerulean colored eyes. “This is Mimi.” A girl wearing all pink, obviously the vain one in the group. “That’s Izzy.” A cute red-head tapping away at a lap-top. He waved with one hand while typing with the other, eyes still fixed on the screen. “Um... There’s Joe.” A guy with blue hair, that wore glasses.. He was obviously older than the rest.” And.. You know Kari don’t you? She’s Tai’s sister.”
“Yea, I know Kari. How ya doin sweetie?”
“Great thanks!” Kari smiled.
“Okay enough about us, now what about you Sa... I mean Trinity, man I’m never gonna get used to calling you that..” Tai said.
“Then just call me T, baka.” She smiled, showing her glittering teeth. “ Well, I was just sitting at my desk, talking to my friends over the internet one night, and suddenly this beam of light comes and sucks me here. I woke up in a forest and Neomon was just sitting there on my lap, along with a digivice and tag and crest!” She explained “ and TK, you think I look like Tai? I don’t know why......... ?!” she laughed.
Sora said, “It’s the eyes, I guess.. I thought you were Tai when I saw you looking out of the bushes at me.” she sighed. “Well it’s great seeing you again!”
“Yea you too!” Trinity smiled.
“Jeez, she sure smiles a lot” thought Matt Mimi and Joe.
Later, all the destined were asleep, well, minus one. Or two....
Matt glanced over at the tree overlooking the lake. He noticed the new girl leaning against it. He studied her for a minute. She had long blondish/brown hair, and tan skin. She was wearing some JNCO blue jeans and a white belly tank top. She really did have eyes like Tai’s though. They weren’t as... dull as his were though.. They shone through and glittered with kindness and strength. He admired her. Being the intuitive person he was, he guessed Sora resented her for some reason. Something must have happened in the past. She seemed so strong... He glanced up at her face again. Surprised, he saw that there were tears shimmering on her soft cheeks. He got up and stood over her.
“Need to talk to someone?” he asked.
She jumped in surprise. “OH my gosh! Matt, if you tell anyone...”
He cut her off, “I won’t trust me... I do the same thing sometimes... You took my spot. “ He smiled.
“Oh.. I”m sooo sorry! I didn’t mean... “
“Don’t worry about it. It’s allright.. I wasn’t particuarly sad tonight. “ he said.
She just smiled, but tears kept running down her face.
“Anyways, you never answered me.. Do you need to talk about it?”
“Well.. it would be nice. I guess...” she answered.
He smiled and said, “trust me, I’ll bet I know what it feels like. “
She looked up at him, her eyes filled with rage, “How would you know what it feels like? No body knows what it feels like! I dont even know what I”m doing in this god-forsaken world anyways! I don’t deserve it...” She put her head in her hands and just sobbed.
“ Look, well, if you would tell me what’s wrong I could compare with you.” He tilted her chin up so he could look in her eyes. He took off one of his gloves and said,” here, dry your eyes. “

She took the glove and wiped her eyes. She handed it back to him, and he put it to the side. She asked, “Matt do you know what it’s like to be in love with one of your best friends?”
“Umm... no, but I know what love feels like.. A different kind of love I guess. My little brother TK.. I’d do anything for him.. I love him more than anything else in this world. “
“Well anyways, my best friend.... His name was... Brian.. and..” she started crying again. “and.. I loved him... With all of my heart. We were inseprable.. ask Tai or .. or Sora. Well one day we got in a really big fight, and... that evening he was in a car wreck. He.. he died on impact.. “ she sobbed. “ I never got to tell him how I felt about him and... It was awful.. I had yelled at him.. and those were the last words I ever said to him! I’ll never forgive myself. I created a new identity for myself.. I became introverted and I felt lost in life. I still do.. I play tough girl but it’s just the shield I hide behind.”
“Do you need the glove again?” Matt asked, handing his glove to her. She took it and wiped her eyes again. He placed his bare hand on her arm and said, “Well, you have a very large new group of friends now. “ She looked down at his hand and said, “I’ve told you my story, now mysterious Matt, talk to me about your battle scars.” she smiled.
“Well now, that’s my sob story. “He glanced up at her, right into those eyes. He lost himself for a minute, then looked back down very quickly. “ My parents seperated when I was younger. My mother took TK and my dad took me. They split up because my father was abusive.” He took off his other glove. His hand was all scratched up. It looked like he had gotten in a fight with a weedwacker. “These happened when he pushed me through a window. The police made him get help. He’s better now I guess. “ He thought, “I can’t believe I just told her that.. I’ve never been that open with anyone before in my life!”
“Well, don’t worry Matt, you have a new friend to talk to whenever you need, “ She smiled. “And now, you’re gonna get some sleep. You look like you’ve been on espresso all week!” She gave one of her amazing smiles again.
“Only if you go to sleep too!” He said. Giving a very rare smile.
She said, “Okay!”
He gave in and let his eyes slowly look down her perfect figure, then back up again. He noticed her crest had four pictures on it. Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth, the four elements of life! “Hey, what’s does your crest mean?” he asked.
But she was already asleep.

The next morning, when the early risers, Matt and Tai, awoke, Trinity was gone.
“I wonder where she is!” Matt asked.
“Oh she just likes waking early and getting washed up. “ Tai said.
Matt wondered how he knew.... “Well, I’m gonna go look for her, okay?”
“K”
Matt walked through the forest until he reached a clearing. A small waterfall was there, and a shallow pool with a stream running out of it. He looked down at the rocks surrounding the pool. He saw a pair of pants, and a white tank top. He thought, “Uh-oh.....” And then he saw her. She was standing oppositte him, and she was talking to the waterfall. She yelled, “I call upon the spirit of fire!” The water in the shallow pool began to steam. “Wow,” Matt thought, “I wonder how she did that!” She stepped in the pool, under the waterfall. She sighed as the water cascaded over her. Matt decided to get away before she saw him and he got hurt. He turned around and then he heard singing coming from the direction he came from. It was a song by Savage Garden. He remembered it was called “Crash and Burn.” She had such a pretty voice. It was hard for him not to turn around and he was just about to when Tai ran up to him.
“She’s beautiful isn’t she?” Tai asked.
“For once we agree on something.” Matt replied, and then he smiled again.
“What’s going on between her and Sora?” Matt asked.
“Oh I don’t know. Jealousy maybe?” Tai said.
“I can see why,” Matt thought.

To Be Continued!
