goalsides | MAYA;

You guys get multiple days? [UNFAIR?] Too bad we can't get them to change the structure here. Do you always solve your cases?

[...a lot of things make sense suddenly.]

I don't know if you should be better. You haven't been doing it very long, have you?

I know, right! This is way too much pressure! [ huff huff ] ... Yeah..... things work out for Nick, even if it's down to the wire.

[ ... ]

Well, uhm, it's been more than a year? We've done eight.... no, seven, um... cases together.

Sounds like a lucky guy. [easy to make things work when you have sheer dumb luck and determination.]

That's still not a lot, Maya. It's more than some of us, but it's still just starting out. [...] We've been doing stuff like this for six years, and I'm still not even sure what I'm supposed to do here.

He's both extremely unlucky and lucky. It's kind of weird....

[ easy when ur a protag. but her eyes widen ]

S-Six years?! But... aren't you only seventeen?!

I think I know how he feels. [haha. but he pauses again at her surprise before there's a nod.]

Yeah. The first time we went to another world we were in fifth grade. We've been working with our partners ever since to keep the worlds safe.

[the simplistic and straightforward way of saying it.]

[ maya is about to make a comment but her eyes go wide -- ]

Wow.... I... I didn't realize you've been dealing with this for so long....

[ that explains a lot frankly ]

Yeah. Me and Yamato both, along with a bunch of our other friends that aren't here. Our partners were waiting for us in that other world, and when we finally got there and met them we became a team to help save their world and ours.

Yamato told me a little bit about that.... but I didn't know it'd been going on for years.....

I guess this must be small potatoes to you, huh?

It's different for us. In the Digital World, at least we had our partners. Here, Yamato and I don't have anything like that. And we can't go anywhere to even look around much besides what's on campus. We're stuck.

Just because we should be used to it doesn't mean we really know what to do either.

[just...to follow up on her initial point.]

Yeah... we're all in the same boat. But I think it helps.. that you can be cool and composed, even when you're mad.

[ this is such a funny statement considering yamato and taichi fistfighting ]

At least you have each other.... that's important, too.

[...he does nothing to correct her...if maya wants to think he's cool and composed, he will let her.]

There's always a bigger picture we should focus on. I don't think people shouldn't be mad, but I don't think we can only stay mad and do nothing about it either.

[but. he nods.]

I don't know why we're here, but I can't say I'm surprised he's with me either. It's usually the two of us anyway.

[ it may not last that long but he can have it for now ]

... Hard to know what to do other than be mad, I guess.

[ be sad, obviously ]

Well, that's friendship for you. Through thick and thin!

[ apparently ]

Maybe, but...I want to think people would want to be productive than just be mad. [or be like him and be both!

...but he huffs a little.]

Maybe that's what it is. It's hard to say. I still haven't even figured out why some of us showed up with friends from home and other people didn't.

Well, yeaaahhhh... but sometimes all you can do is scream, or something to that effect.

[ like at exec!!!! ]

Yeah.... I wonder about that.....

[ a slightly wistful expression crosses her face ]

[looks into his mind's eye and sees yamato screaming a lot.]

...well, okay. Maybe that works for some people.

[...he's not stupid though.]

You must miss your friends, too. It's been a few weeks.

[ nods sagely ]

[ also what friends binch she only has one ]

I do kind of wish Nick was here, even though that'd be terrible. [ ... ] Pretty rotten of me, right?

[stop let maya have friends.]

I don't think it's rotten. I really wish Agumon was with us. And I miss my friends and my sister and everybody. We didn't even get to say goodbye to them before we left.

[so...it makes sense to him that they miss those people.]

[ she smiles a little faintly... agumon... is that his partner? it must be ]

Yeah... Nick must be worried....

[ .... ]

At least time doesn't pass, right? So you can see them as soon as we fix this mess.

Time doesn't pass, yeah. I don't know how long we'll get to see each other before they have to go back, but it'll be better than now.

[...and then he...thinks...about some of the things maya has said.]

...are you going to be safe when you get back?

Well, just gotta crack this thing wide open so you can see them again, huh?

[ ha ha ]

Oh, you know! Crazy things happen to me a lot.

Maya. That's not an answer and you know it. [just...being mildly serious here...]

[ ugh don't call her out ]

Well.... uhm, let's just put it this way... I was in a lot of trouble before I ended up here.

[he's gotta. except he kind of regrets it because oh, that's bad.]

...does Nick know?

... Yeah... I hate to have caused him so much trouble....

[ oops ]

Please don't tell anyone, okay? I.. they seem to care a lot, so I don't want to upset them.

[i love that he will never know that this man's name is phoenix. anyway...]

I don't think it's something that's really your fault. But I won't. Secret's safe with me.
