As The Digi-World Turns

PART I - UNOBTAINABLE

"Come one come all to my beautiful abode! It is time to celebrate life and love! Drinks and other refreshments will be ample, so bring your friends and those you wish were your friends! Who knows what will happen." Nymphmon

Oh great. Another party.

Matt was tired of parties. Pretending to be happy and "normal" was the last thing he wanted tonight. But he had already agreed to Mimi�s request weeks ago and could not back out now.

That selfish little Scorpio. It�s always about her. She knows this is the last thing I want to do. Being forced to be around him is murder. She just wants to strut around and show me off and have me laugh at her jokes. Why does she think I�m so impressive anyway? I�m just me.

Matt finished buttoning up his black shirt and slipped on his ratty Chuck Taylor�s. The door was knocked upon.

Oh great now I get to hear, " Are you wearing that?"

Matt answered the door.

"Are you wearing that?"

"Why what�s wrong with it."

"Well this is Nymphmon�s party. She is only the number one authority on fashion."

"Well look at what your wearing. Cowboy hats went out with Achy Breaky Heart ."

"You know I�m super cute Ishida. Oh fuck it. You look fine. Let�s go."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------

"You know Sora, they say that at Nymphmon�s parties people who are meant to be together come together."

"Tai. I hate to remind you of this but Matt is not like you. He has girls throwing themselves at him all the time and he loves it. You can tell. Anyway Mimi�s hoping something will happen between them tonight."

"Oh the hell with her. She doesn�t even know him. She just wants to be seen with him because he is popular."

"And you don�t ?"

"That�s not it at all and you know it."

""Look I love you to death Taichi but get over it! The only guy you have a chance with is Ichijoji."

"Oh whatever!"

ZAPPED THROUGH TIME AND SPACE TO THE DIGITAL WORLD!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------

The party was hoppin� as Tai and Sora entered. There must have been 500 creatures there. Digimon dancin� and gettin� down and of course all of the destine. Now Nymphmon, if you haven�t already guessed by the name, is a beautiful creature. Think of Angewoman. She throws fabulous parties once a full digi-moon, which is once a full digi-year at her palace. Hundreds flock from all over the Digital World to come break it down and at the heart of it all are Nymphmon�s potions. It is said that if you drink one of these potions you will lose all inhibitions towards the one you love. It is also said that if your true love is with you and under the spell you will be joined at the heart forever.

What a load of crap. Matt thought to himself as Mimi dragged him into the palace. My best friend in the whole world is the only person I want and no stupid potion will ever make him want me.

"Hey look there�s Sora and Tai!"

Oh great. I can�t wait to feel the inevitable burning in my loins.

"Hey guys great party!"

"Hey, you two look so cute together!"

"Well I know I look cute but Matt had to wear that depressing black shirt."

Cluck, cluck, cluck, Just like two hens. "Hey why don�t you girls go over there and see Nymphmon. She looks like she needs a couple of fashion consultants."

"Good idea sugar-pop!"

SMOOCH!

Matt wiped his face as the girls ran off.

"So what have you been up to?"

"Not much. You ?"

"About the same."

"So, you into Mimi?"

No you idiot! I am into you . Isn�t it blatantly obvious when I stare at you like I am staring at you now. Oh god Ishida stop! "Yeah, I guess." My god did I say that?

" Cute couple." Gross.

"Thanks I guess." Is he serious?

"You guess?"

"Well you know..."

Just then a cute little green digimon came up with a couple of glasses.

"Nymphmon told me to bring you two these potions. Cute little scrawny blond boy gets the purple drink and the crazy haired boy gets the red drink. You know you two, Nymphmon is very introspective."

"Hey Matt, do you wanna go out to the balcony there is a great view of the mountain."

Anywhere with you. "Yeah sure."

They walked outside. The balcony was completely vacant. The night was beautiful and starry just like every night here. There was a slight breeze and the air smelled of jasmine.

"So are you actually going to drink this thing?"

"Hell, why not. It�s free."

"Okay, on three. One. Two. Three!"

The boys downed their potions. In unison they began to giggle. Louder and louder.

"Oh my god Tai. I love you!"

Matt�s giggling stopped abruptly.

Oh god did I just say that out loud? I have been keeping that inside for years! That is my secrete that no one is suppose to know about especially him! "Shit Tai I�m sorry I did not mean that!"

"Did you say something?" Matt looks so beautiful in this light and I feel so good I can�t stop laughing. God he is beautiful! " I�m sorry."

Tai tried to stop laughing so he could focus on what his friend seemed upset about.

"Did you say something?"

"Oh no. Nothing. Cool drink!" Thank god he didn�t hear that over his laughter. I feel so strange. So high. I wish he would have heard that so it could just be out in the open! But then I risk losing my best friend over something ridiculous. I hate feeling this way. "Look Tai I got to go be by myself for awhile. I feel very strange." I have to get away from him before I make a complete fool out of myself.

"Hey Matt, I�ll come too."

"No Tai! Stay the hell away from me!"

Tai reached out for his friend confused.

"Don�t touch me, ever!" Matt ran off and disappeared into the crowed inside.

What did I do? He totally hates me and I don�t even know why. I probably said something stupid because of this potion. Oh no! Did I tell him how I feel or something! Oh great, he probably thinks I�m a total freak! I have got to find him and straighten this out. I can�t let him hate me!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------

"Yamato, what are you running from?"

An angelic voice spoke.

"Nymphmon! Oh, Nothing. Was I running? I didn�t notice."

"You don�t sound too sure of that. Does this have to do with Taichi?"

Matt face frowned and then he could not help but sob.

"It sucks feeling this way, being in love with your best friend, who likes girls! I feel so miserable and sick. I feel like my soul is completely awake when I am with him and just barley showing itself when he is away. I feel torn. I don�t know what to do or if I should so anything. All I know is that I hate feeling this way!"

"My poor child. I have already taken care of that. I know you two are meant to be together and that is why I sent those potions over to you. I know both of you are too scared to admit your feelings so I helped you out a little. Tai is probably looking all over for you to tell you he loves you."

"Do not fuck with my mind! You know that Tai doesn�t feel that way for me! You probably gave him something to make him think he likes me and then tomorrow after I have had my way with him he�ll feel dirty and never want to speak to me again! What kind of creature are you?!"

"Matt! There you are."

"Stay away from me Tai or you�ll get hurt!"

"Matt, I don�t understand! I just want to talk!"

"Tai. I love you too much to be near you !" Great, I said it again.

Matt�s tone calmed

" You are too good of a friend to be near me now. I am sick and need to just lay down. Please just leave me alone." Okay that probably made no sense.

"Fine. Look, I�m sorry. I�ll leave you alone."

Matt walked into a nearby bedroom and shut the door behind him.

I am such an idiot. I am 22 years old and acting like a child. Tai probably thinks I hate him. I don�t know what�s worse, Tai thinking I hate him or knowing I love him. I feel so strange and weak.

Matt passed out cold.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------

"Well, what are you waiting for. Go to him."

"Are you crazy lady? He has told me to leave him the hell alone like 50 times!"

"Both of you are so thickheaded! Can�t you see that he loves you just like you love him?"

She is full of it! Leave me the hell alone does not project love. "Whatever. I don�t love him. He�s a he!"

"Forget it! There is no helping either of you!"

Nymphmon leaves Tai with only his thoughts.

Maybe I should go check on Matt. He did look sick.

Tai walked into the dim candle lit room and saw his love lying on his tummy on the bed.

Ishida.

He walked over to the bed and sat down on the edge. He rubbed Matt�s back for a few minutes.

Beauty. Angel. Perfection. Why do you hate me? Did I say something stupid. I want to tell you so bad but I don�t want to lose you. Never.

Matt let out little moans and other assorted sleepy sounds.

Man I feel weird. So tired.

Tai laid down beside his love.

Beauty. Angel. Perfection. Unobtainable.
