PRE FIC RANTINGS AND A SPRINKLE OF DISCLAIMER: I love Junpei. I
love Junzumi. I love writing dialouge. I love how I don't own Digimon 04.

The Way You Are
Izzy Girl "I know how to make people like you." "Really?" "Yup." "Well, then my dearest Izumi-chan, I suppose I am at you mercy." "First of all, you're too loud." "Not much I can do about that, sweetheart. It's a big voice to go with a big body." "No, no, no. Not like that. You're too loud. You talk too much when you're not supposed to." "Huh?" "I'm trying to say: Shut up once in a while." "Oh.......... I can do that. I guess." "And when you do talk, try to be more... polite." "Huh? What the hell do you mean by that!? I'm polite." "First of all, no swearing. Keep the volume to a steady medium. Address people as if they're on the same level as you, rather than below. Um... what else... oh yeah, the crude jokes have to go. And the blunt comments. And the male-chauvunistic remarks." "Geeze, Z', you make me sound like some sort of... verbal deviant." "Well you can be." "I don't mean it." "I know. You don't mean any of it, but that's beside the point isn't it?" "Okay. I've got it. Polite. No jokes, no observations, no girls. Anything else I should remember, honey-pie?" "Stop the flirting. It makes you sound like a pervert." ".... oh... really...." "Ah... don't take it personally, Junpei. I'm a girl. All girls think all guys are perverts." "Well, I knew that much already. So, if I casterate my conversation mechanism-" "Let's put the lesson into effect starting now. Please rephrase that sentence." "Erm... if I learn to address women in a more gentlemen-like fashion-" "Perfect!" "- I'm set, right?" "Ummm... not quite." " 'Not quite?' Oh no, don't look at me like that! You're not going to tell me to lose weight are you?" "What? Oh, Junpei! No, no. I fear there's not much we can do about that." "Thanks... I think..." "It's in the way you stand." "The way I stand?" "You sound incredelous." "I am." "You shouldn't be. I know these things, remember? I'm the amazing, all-knowing Izumi-chan?" "I never thought it possible, but I think I may have flattered you a bit too much." "You stand with arrogance." "I do?" "Yeah. Okay, watch this. Notice how I let my shoulders fall back so casually. It speaks of self-confidence, but since I'm cute and a girl, it's not threatening. Since you're a... well, a big guy, it comes across as arrogance." "That doesn't seem very fair." "It's not. But girls are allowed to be sexist. So there." "That's even less fair." "Live with it. Anyways, as I was saying you stand too tall. You've got to develop a slouch- it will not only make you appear shorter, but will give you the facade of vunerability (girls just love that sort of thing!)" "Facade. That's fancy." "Junpei, that's exactly what I was talking about-" "Sorry! Sorry! Let me get my serious face on." "Er..." "There we go. I meant to say: .............." "Um. Well. I suppose that's better." "Damn straight it's better, baby!" "Junpei..." "Right, right. Ex-nay on the swearing, flirting and chavaunism." "You'll catch on." "I think I already am. To get people to like me I've got to become a silent, dull zombie-boy with horrible posture and increiably lacking in personality?" "Well, that's one way to put it." ".... yeah. I've always been a good actor. I could pull it off." "Don't." "Huh?" "Don't. I think I like you better the way you are." "... gee, Z'. That melts my heart. Do you really mean that?" "Of course." "Well, then that's the only opinion I really need!" ((finis
