The Brand New Digidestined and Thier Digimon Too!!!

Part 2
By: Alicia R. Martello


It was later that same day in the digital world when Alicia and Nickee
arrived. This caused Matt and Tai to stop fighting because they wanted to
make a good impresion on the new comers. The Digidestined all started
looking for firewood, well, all except for Matt, he stayed at the camp to
make sure that their belongings were safe. Watches were soon desided as
well, Alicia said that she'd take the first watch, Matt agreed to the
second. Soon everyone was asleep and dreaming their dreams, except for
Matt, Alicia, and Gabumon. Gabumon and Matt were talking a little ways off
from where Alicia was watching out for danger, and pretty soon Alicia got
bored from doing nothing, so she tried to talk to Matt.

"Hey, whatcha guys talking about?" Alicia asked as she walked up to them.

"Nothing that concerns you. Why aren't you the group, is my watch already?"
Matt countered.

"No, it is not your watch," Alicia answered irritatedly, "I'm just bored,
and the usual way for me to get rid of my bordom is to talk to someone.
Your the only one awake right now."

"Oh, is that it? Well, I guess I can talk to you, your probably the only
one who will talk to me besides Gabumon," Matt replied.

"Why is that? You seem like a nice guy to me," Alicia asked. 'That's it
Alicia, get him to open up so you can stop the fights between Matt and Tai'
Alicia thought to herself.

"Why? That's easy, it's because of the fights I've been having with Tai
lately. Now everybody thinks I'll blow up in their faces if I talk to them.
Gabumon is the only one who knows that I won't. . . " Matt grabs for his
crest and takes one good look at it," That's a laugh, I got the crest of
friendship when I only have one friend that'll talk to me."

"Make that two, Matt, Alicia will be your friend, right Alicia?" Gabumon
asked the young girl next to Matt.

"Of course I'll be Matt's friend! There's no way in the world I wouldn't be
friends with a guy as good looking as Matt!" Alicia exclaimed then added,
"Besides, Matt has lots of friends, even Tai is his friend-"

"Tai isn't my friend Alicia, Tai doesn't want to be my friend," Matt
interupted.

"Now what kind of attitude is that? Putting down yourself is no way to
cheer yourself up. Trust me Matt, I used to be just like you, every since
my parents split up and my dad took Nickee with him, I told myself that I
would never make friends again or let anyone get close to me every again. I
lived a lonely life untill Nick pionted out that a person needs friends to
survive a harsh world like this one we live in today," Alicia said to him.
Everything Alicia said sounded just like his life, so maybe she would
understand his protectiveness over TK.

"Wow, that does sound like me. . . . Hey, Alicia, are you over protective
of your sister?"

"Are you over protective of your brother TK?" Alicia countered.

"Guess that's a yes, did Nickee tell you that she could take care of
herself when you thought it was your soul purpose to protect her?" Matt
asked.

"Yeah, it came as a shock to me. I couldn't believe it, but then I realized
that she was right. It hurt to know that my sister didn't need me as much
as she used to, but I realized that she still needed me sometimes, so I
never truely stopped protecting her even when she told me to stop. I'm her
moral support, I'm there when she wants me to be there, not when I think
she wants me to be there. You'll learn that too in time Matt, I just know
you will," Alicia told Matt, that's when he understood everything.

"Thanks for telling me that Alicia, now I know how to act around TK," Matt
just then realized how beatiful Alicia actually was (Alicia: About time
ARM. ARM: Shut-up Alicia, your ruining the fic!!!!!) and then he desided to
ask her a very personal question, "Alicia, do you have a boyfriend?"

Alicia was shocked, Matt asked her *The Question*. She remembered Josh for
a moment, what would he think if she went out with someone else? That's
when she remembered that Josh was killed two months ago, and that when he
died she was going out with some one else and that that someone else broke
up with her on the same day Josh died.

"Alicia, you alive? I asked a question and you didn't answer!" Matt said as
he waved his hand infront of Alicia's eyes.

"Huh? Oh, sorry, I spaced out there for a second. . . what was the question
again?" Alicia asked although she already knew what the question was.

"I asked you if you had a boyfriend," Matt repeated.

"No, I don't, not after Josh died and Stephen broke-up with me," Alicia
answered truthfully. Then Alicia caught on, "Why did you want to know
Matt?"

"Um. . . cause I was curious I guess" 'More like I wanted to know so that I
could know whether or not you were taken before I ask you out' Matt thought
to himself. "It's getting late, we should wake-up Tai, it's now his watch."


"OK, but not untill you promise that we'll be bestfriends forever," Alicia
told Matt.

"K," they shook hands to make the promise official and went off to wake-up
Tai for his watch.
