Moonlight Rain

Beastie Girl!!

Once Whamon had made it to the islands shore everyone including an overly grossed out Zoe jumped out of his mouth and into the shallow water. The water struck everyone's ankles as the large digimon turned and swam away from the shore. A chorus of good-byes and thanks rang out from everyone as Whamon took a deep breath of air and dove back into the sea.

“So there he goes.” Kouji stated the obvious after Whamon had disappeared completely.

“Nice of you to point out the obvious.” Takuya responded sounding just a little dejected.

“Don't be such boys!” Zoe shouted happily as she scaled the rocks that bordered that small section of the island; dividing the water from the shore.

“Boys?” Amaya inquired as her presence was ignored.

“My dear Zoe, what has gotten into you?” Bokomon inquired the all too bubbly blonde.

“You can't blame a girl for feeling good on such a beautiful day, especially a girl who has her spirit back!” Zoe chirped as she held her d-tector up in the air for all to see.

“And let us not forget who has a beast spirit now!” J.P. shouted with just as much cheer from beside Zoe as he too held up his d-tector.

“Let’s hear it for J.P., the princely beast of thunder!” Zoe shouted with her Italian accent making some of the words roll off of her tongue funny.

“And Zoe, princess of the summer breeze!” J.P. shouted lovingly which made Amaya roll her eyes.

“And Takuya, king of I'm gonna be sick!” Takuya shouted in disgust which caused Tommy to nod in agreement.

Amaya rolled her eyes at their stupid remarks as she turned and started down a long dirt path like road. She had her hands in the pockets of her shorts and she was watching the ground instead of what was in front of her with a blank expression. Kouji was the first to notice she had walked off, but made no move to go after her seeing as Takuya was still carrying her duffel bag.

“Hey Amaya! How bout waiting for the rest of us!?” Takuya shouted after her once he had noticed she was walking away from them.

Amaya stopped when Takuya shouted for her to wait and stood in that exact spot until Takuya and Tommy walked past her. She didn't look up from the ground as she followed after Takuya and Tommy with Kouji, Zoe and J.P. walking behind her. J.P. studied Amaya's profile which just gave off a vibe of calmness and thoughtfulness.

He shot a look to Zoe who shrugged as Kouji gave them both a look of confusion. J.P. walked up beside Amaya and put his arms around her shoulders which caused her head to snap up as he squeezed her shoulders a little. He gave her a friendly smile, squeezed her shoulders again before he let her go and continued on as if nothing had happened.

Kouji glared at the older boy as Zoe giggled and ran to catch up with him. Amaya stood where J.P. had released her shoulders, dumbfounded by the older boy’s actions as Zoe ran past her. Kouji caught her gently by her elbow and let his hand slide down her arm to her hand which caused her to start walking again as they intertwined their fingers. The whole group walked in silence from that point on until they came upon an area that was lined with palm trees.

“You know, I can't help, but notice that its summer and we're at the beach.” J.P. stated suddenly which caused everyone to stop walking and turn their attention to the older boy.

“I noticed that.” Zoe beamed brightly as Amaya let go of Kouji's hand and put a few steps between them.

“Yeah, you know what that means!” Tommy stated happily having caught onto what Zoe and J.P. were hinting at.
