goalsides | MAYA;

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.

[ it's true he's gonna be nick forever ]

[ also there's a pause here as she glances away. hm. ]

... Thank you, Taichi.

Yeah. Don't thank me for something like that.

[any of it. it all makes sense to him as far as he's concerned.]

...wanna head back soon? It's late.

Yeah, let's go.
