Moonlight Rain

The Swiss Family Digimon

‘What the hell am I doing?’ Amaya asked herself as she sat on a branch of the one of trees that was not a palm tree.

They had followed the Toucanmon’s footprints until they had suddenly stopped and Takuya, being the self-appointed leader of the group thought that they should go back to the beach house and search around it thoroughly. They had all split up to search around the beach house with Takuya searching through some grass that was taller than him while Amaya decided to climb the tree she is currently sitting in.

“Toucanmon! Come out; come out, where ever you are! Come out already, pretty please!” Takuya shouted rather loudly which caused Amaya to roll her eyes due to him actually thinking that please would make them magically appear.

While Takuya was yelling Kouji decided to climb up the same tree Amaya was sitting in, and stood on a branch slightly above her head while holding onto the branch above his own head.

“Ah, who are we kidding? We couldn’t find them even if they came up and bit us on the nose.” Takuya complained loudly as Kouji scanned the beach for any sign of the colorful bird brain digimon.

Takuya’s complaint came only a moment before J.P. could be heard shrieking as he ran across the beach as if under an attack. Amaya watched with slight curiosity as Tommy chased after the older boy who continued to shriek while running around. Zoe was searching around the beach house, but stopped a moment when she took the lid off of a barrel of water to admire herself before she went back to searching.

Neemon, lacking a properly working brain checked for the Toucanmon inside of Bokomon’s pink waist band which got him yelled at by the smarter (but still not all that smart) digimon.

“You do realize we are just wasting our time, right?” Amaya inquired while looking up at Kouji who glanced down at her for a second before he went back to looking around.

Amaya’s question went unanswered which caused her to roll her eyes before she shifted to where her back was against the tree trunk and she was straddling the branch. She pulled her sketch book and a pencil from her bag before she pulled her left leg up so that she could rest her sketch pad on her thigh and draw. She flipped the sketch book to her unfinished picture of Lobomon and set to working on finishing it while the others wasted their time searching for the Toucanmon.

Amaya got lost in her own little world as she continued sketching Lobomon until he was brought to life in light blue and white. She was putting the final touch on his scarf when she was brought back to reality by her name being snappily yelled.

“Amaya, would you come on!?” Kouji called up to her from the ground having jumped down from the branch he had been standing on.

Amaya gave Kouji a slight nod as she packed her pencil and sketch book back into her bag before she let said bag fall to the ground below. Amaya’s descent from the tree was far from graceful as she had slid off of the branch she was on, but as her feet hit the ground her right ankle decided it didn’t want to support her. She had braced herself for impact with the ground, but instead found herself blinded by yellow.

“You gonna catch me every time I try to fall?” Amaya inquired as she pushed herself away from Kouji.

“You need someone around to catch you.” Kouji replied before he walked away from her without glancing back at her.

“I guess that’s a yes.” Amaya whispered to herself as she picked up her bag and followed Kouji back to the beach house.

Everyone had gathered back up at the beach house with most of them beyond exhausted. Tommy and Takuya were on the same bench, but where Tommy was sitting up Takuya was sprawled out beside the younger boy. Zoe was standing between the bench and the beach house steps where J.P. was seated.
