Chapter 1 : extreme hangover

just a little something I started working with a while ago but I decided that it should be for the world to see. There's more where it came from, just give me some feedback and I'll see if I keep it going.

Somebody slammed his fist on the door.

''Davis! You there?'' the voice were dampened from the other side of the door. Davis didn't bother answer. The person knocked again. ''Come on! You there or not?''

''Leave me alone'' Shouted Davis and put the pillow over his head. He was sleeping in the couch, and had been for a while. The year was 2010 and Davis had wasted a lot of time drinking alcohol, he was 20 years old now, a grown, athletic man with a stubby beard on his grayish face. The person who were at the door opened up, not caring about Davis opinion in this matter. ''I told you to get outta here'' said Davis. It was Tai and TK. They watched with pity on the alcoholic spaz lying on the couch in front of him. Junkfood boxes, beer bottles, empty whisky glasses and burned cigarettes scattered all over the table. The floor was dusty and the smell in the room reminded of trash. He played the song reckless with Papa Roach in the background. Fitting, thought Tai, this dude is pretty reckless.

''Come on Davis, you don't even smoke, why do you have cigarettes?'' Said Tai

''It helps to get drunk, the blood circulation gets up… or something'' Said Davis. He sat up and had another pull of cheap whisky. He coughed and made a face.

''Stop beating yourself up Davis, what are you doing?'' Said Tk

''Shut your mouth TP'' growled Davis. TK couldn't avoid giggling a little.

''When is Veemon coming back?'' Asked Tai

''In a week or two'' said Davis ''Not like it matters, he wouldn't wanna see me the way I am right now…''

''Definetly'' said Tai, ''get in the shower, we are taking you outside''.

Davis had been troubled for over a week now, his old girlfriend Clara had bailed on him after only 1 year. He was so deeply in love it felt like everything was so easy. The hot water poured down his head. He really needed this, he had been drinking so much it basically wrecked his economy. Tai and Ken had been calling him since the first day of the week, but he never answered the phone. He were completely devastated.

When he came out of the shower he put on a wifebeater and a pair of jeans.

''Shave'' said TK. Davis looked at him like a question mark, before TK said ''shave your beard, it looks hideous''.

''I like my beard'' said Davis. ''Nobody else will. come on dude, just do it and fix your hair, we'll clean up this mess somewhat meanwhile'' said Tai. ''Fine, I can accept that'' said Davis and went into the gentlemen's again.

''What a lazy bastard'' said Tai. TK agreed with him. Davis had gotten his two room apartment by his parents. He had stepped up with the studies and were going pretty well, meanwhile he worked two jobs and trained a lot of soccer and went to the gym a lot. He had been with his girlfriend for one year, introduced her to Veemon and they spent a lot of time together. Then one day, all of the sudden. She just broke up. Left him standing outside a cinema with a broken heart and an engagement ring. She said the feelings were gone.

A lot of things had changed, the digidestined were young adults now, yet not much physical difference. They still looked the same, but older. Davis still had his pointy hair, TK still wore hats, even though it was summer. Davis still wore his goggles. The only real difference was height.

''I hope you're not drinking my beer now!'' Davis shouted from the bathroom

''Really? Drink your beer?'' Said Tai, surprised he'd even suggest Tai doing such a thing. TK opened a window, the damp air quickly cleared as the sun rays and summer heat intruded the small, dark apartment.

''I'm serious! Don't touch it!'' he said ''ouch!'' Davis cut himself on the razor.

''I would do no such thing!'' Said Tai. That would just be cheap and disgusting, how can he drink this bile? He asked himself as he put a couple of Carlsbergs back in the fridge. The finished beers he put in a plastic bag and put it by the door.

''Guys I'm done!'' he said, stepping out were a Davis Motomiya, much fresher than the one they just had seen. He still had bags under his eyes, but it was probably going to clear up later. ''You can leave the cleaning as that, I'll take it later'' He almost sounded kind of restored from his misery, but then he sunk together in the hallway, letting out a deep, sorrowful sigh. ''I miss Clara so much'' he said. ''There, there'' said TK. ''We're gonna get you back on track man'' he said, letting out a friendly smile.

''Let's get to pizza hut'' said Tai ''I'll buy you some grub Davis, you look hungry'' .

''I'm not..'' but then a deep growl from his stomache stopped his coming statement ''I'm… probably starving'' he said. Sighing again.

''Calm down Davis, you'll feel better once you're full again'' said Tai.

The pizza hut buffet gave Davis the chance to get a good meal. He loved the barbeque pizza, but he still didn't enjoy the food. It felt like it turned into ash in his mouth. He still couldn't get Clara out of his damn head. He still had a lot of photos of her on his phone. They sat outdoors, a lot of young people sat around, enjoying their share of pizza.

''Cheer up Davis'' said TK ''Tai got you some grub at least, you can be a little positive right?''

''Yeah… it's considerate of you Tai but… You know… still don't feel really good''.

''I think I've got an idea'' said TK '' How about you try to just talk to a girl to get out of this mindstate?''

''I don't like where this is going'' said Davis.

''No Davis, that's really not a bad idea'' said Tai ''Just to kind of get you back on track. If you remember how to talk to girls properly again… Well, you just might get you some pity love?''

''That's not really my style'' said Davis

''Come on man, what's the worst thing that could happen?'' said TK

''Humiliation TK'' said Davis and took a sip of his pepsi. They didn't serve coke at pizza hut, much to Davis nagging. Everything turned into a huge problem when he was this cranky.

''Hey! TK! What's up dude?'' Davis heard a familiar voice say. He was sitting with his back against this one person, while TK was facing that direction.

''Hey man, what's up?'' Said TK

Davis turned around along with Tai and saw no other then Ken and Jolei!

''My god! Ken! Is that you?'' Asked Davis.

''Ignore me then you scumbag!'' Wailed Jolei, her temper had not changed at all with the years.

''Jeeez! Davis! It's been like forever dude! Why haven't you returned my calls?'' Ken asked him, raising an eyebrow. He held his hand around Jolei's waist. Davis had a hard time admitting it, but Jolei actually looked stunning. She wore dark tights and a white tanktop. She had really grown into a beautiful woman. Her old big, round glasses had been replaced with smaller, sexier square ones. Ken had combed his hair to the side and wore a white ralph lauren shirt with light blue jeans.

''Well…. Uhm'' Davis hesitated '' I don't know man.. just not been in the mode for talking''

''Yeah, I tried to talk to you about… well.. her… But when you didn't return my calls I really got worried''

''I'm okay dude. Phyiscally anyway'' said Davis. Jolei looked at Davis and then looked at TK

''So.. what are you guys doing her?'' She finally asked

''Well… we were eating'' said Tai. ''And now Davis is gonna pick up a chick'' he said very shortly afterwards. Leaving Davis in a blushing gasp.

''WHAT? NO WAY! YOU DECIDED THAT'' he shouted at Tai

''Actually it was TK'' answered Tai, laughing a little

''don't matter! I'm not doing it!'' Davis said

''Ohh Daaviiiis'' said Jolei in a mockingtone ''Why shouldn't you? You are kind of persuasive aren't you?'' she blinked at him, before sitting down in his lap, rubbing her finger to his chest. ''You can try to seduce me she said'' still laughing. Davis blushed a little bit more than he thought he should have. ''NO! Get of Jolei! I'm not in the mode'' Jolei quickly rose up

''Jeez, I was only playing with you, stop being such a dramaqueen'' she said, now sounding a little bitchy.

''What's wrong with you guys? Who am I supposed to pick up? I'm sitting in a pizza place with 3 dudes! There is no way to hook up with anyone here anyway''.

''wouldn't be so sure'' said Tai.

''See that blonde in the corner over there?'' Said TK; pointing at a blonde girl in the corner with a Victoria Beckham haircut and shades. She had long delicate nails and a cigarette between her fingers. She was reading some fashion magazine.

''Yeah?'' said Davis picking up his phone and started angry bird. He shot one bird that missed the pigs pathetically, but it was a statement that he wasn't interested.

''She's been looking at you'' said Tai

''Yeah, because I've been yelling like a monkey, embarrassing myself in front of everybody. And that's your fault!'' said Davis

''No really, she looked at you a lot Davis. Before you started wailing''. Said Tai raising an eyebrow.

''Seriously?'' Said Davis

''Davis I promise, I wouldn't lie about this. Try her! She's not ugly or anything'' said Tai giving away a big small. Davis took a deep sigh, leaning his head back. He stroke his hands along his face, sighing a second time.

''Do you promise you will shut up about it if I do?'' said Davis after a brief pause.

''Whatever man, we're doing this for you'' said TK, giving away his trademark, nice guy smile. Davis sighed bobbed his head to the table.

''Fine.'' He said, standing up. He walked with decisive steps toward the girl with the cigarette and the magazine.

He now stood before her, she was still looking down her paper.

''Anybody sitting here?'' He said after a while. The girl looked up on him. He was holding a chair with his hands.

''No, you can take it if you want'' she said.

''Okay'' he said and sat down. The girl giggled a little

''Hmm?'' said Davis ''something funny?' the girl looked up on him.

''No, nothing'' she said, taking of her shades ''It's just that, when people say they want to take a chair, they usually pick it up and walk away with it''. She took another puff of her cigarette.

''Is it a problem? Miss?'' he asked. Davis kind of felt a little James Bondish, against his own will. She took of her glasses. Her eyes had an almost piercing, iceblue color. She looked like the stereotype of a Swedish supermodel.

''Actually no, you can sit there if you want to. Don't mind me'' she said giggling

''Ohh, why would I?'' Davis said. He hoped this would be the one pick up line to catch her attention.

''I don't know. Would there be a reason too?'' she said taking another puff of the cigarette. She still seemed kind of distant from him.

''Not if you're a man that is, I don't think many men would consider your company a scourge''. Now he could see the girl had some interest in listening to him.

''that's… a different approach. Do I know you from somewhere?'' she said

''You watch soccer?''

''I'm a fan of soccer, yes. Or… well… my ex played in a soccer team, why do you ask?'' now putting away the newspaper facing Davis directly.

''Well… Maybe because… you know… I play soccer? Depending on if you watch any local teams then you might have seen me''

''Hm… Your name?'' she asked him

''Motomiya'' he answered. Now he felt secure. It could only go uphill from here.

''Well, mr Motomiya…'' she said, killing her cigarette ''I actually never said I did recognize you, I asked, do I know you from somewhere because I was entirely sure I had never met you. And the context was kind of dismissing, in the sense that… Well mr Motomiya you're a stranger. Not that I actually thought I've ever seen you somewhere. Maybe you should… you know.. Take your things and leave me alone for a while? If my boyfriend sees me, I can't guarantee your safety.'' With these words, a huge burden clung unto Davis chest. Jesus, this was humiliation and nothing else. He felt his already fragile soul was shattering, these words were not good for his selfesteem.

''Well miss. I'll leave you then.'' He said, standing up and heading for his friends.

''Oh and one more thing Motomiya-kun'' she said.

''What might that be?'' asked Davis

''Next time, when you refer to a lady you're supposed to pick up, don't use nerdy words, such as scourge, I would use something more delicate. Not to niceguy, but rather something badboyish, like 'the company of hot girls always keeps me focused' or something. That would be kind of okay. But. Just a tip. Have a continued nice day, mr Motomiya''. She said. The gang looked at the Davis who were about to completely collapse into the wreck he was. Never before had he felt such humiliation.

''Davis how did it-''

''SHUT YOUR MOUTH!''

Davis interrupted TK's question.

'' You! Can! All! Go! Fuck! Yourselves!''

Davis went straight for his home, but he heard them ask him to wait.

Don't be like that! He heard! Where're you going? He heard. But he didn't want to hear them at all. He just kept on walking. He remembered a time when they were a team who didn't mean to harm each other. But now they beg to differ. He just wanted to get back up to his place, watch a movie, have a beer and then just -*SMACK*

He accidentaly walked into somebody. He tripped and fell. Moaning about it, he was going to put the blame on whoever this person was. Even though he realized it was his fault. Didn't matter, he was pissed, he wanted to blame somebody.

''Hey watch where you-'' he got interrupted halfway through his sentence. He looked up on a girl, wearing a pink tanktop, yellow converse shoes, a light blue jeans vest and an open jumper under the vest, which was also- pink. Her hair were as brown as her big eyes and her tan smooth legs.

''-Go?'' he finally said. The girl looked at him with eyes at the size of a dining plate.

''D- Davis?'' she said, stunned, close to completely petrified.

''Am I… Seeing things? '' he asked the girl.

''I was going to ask you.. Motomiya! Davis Motomiya! It really is you! Oh my god! It's been so long!'' said the girl. She didn't really sound happy, she sounded kind of frightened, but still not in a negative way. Surprise was probably the best word.

''Kari! Holy… When did you get home?'' he asked her. Kari were holding her phone. An I-phone with a… well… pink shell. In the other end he could hear somebody shout:

Davis? What are you talking about? Kari are you there? The voice said. It was a female one

''Yeah! Uhm! I'll talk to you later Sora! I've got some things to catch up with first.'' She said. Sora? What's going on? Davis asked himself.

''Sorry Davis, I didn't see you'' she said, helping him up by putting her hands in his armpits and lifting him.

''So… It's been… a long time'' she said. Oh what the heck she thought, she gave him a hug. ''I've missed you bro''. She said. Davis stood still. He hadn't seen Kari since she left for studies in the united states three years ago. Now she were back, had three years past already? Were she already done?

With his trademark Motomiya grin he said ''hey! I missed you too!''
