A Fading Hope Chapter Four

A Fading Hope Chapter Four: In the Nick of Time

Song- The Mob Song from "Beauty and the Beast" ( starts at 2:40)

Hearts ablaze
Banners high
We go marching into battle
Unafraid although
The danger's just Increased

I only really listened to this segment, although I do like the full song. It's Alan Menken- that guy is awesome. He's the man behind the music of  Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Enchanted, Tangled, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Newsies... for those of you unfamiliar with the movie, though, this song is from near the end, when Gaston leads an attack on the Beast's castle, and the talking objects ready for battle. They know that they're pretty much doomed- even if they last this battle, the rose is fading fast. still, they fight, because it's all they can do. I thought it also sort of worked for these kids- heading out every day into danger, mostly unafraid... until it gets bad. and they keep fighting anyway. this song is also part of the code. Anyone figure it out yet?

Story-
So we start out almost mirroring , in a way, the Dark Ocean episode. Which, by the way, is one of my favorites. School, and our heroes in first bell. As usual, I loved writing the scenes in this story between Teeks and Kari. I get to show that Kari's still not healed herself, from her own past, which was a challenge, but fun at the same time.

The scene between Davis and Yolei came from me doodling in class, trying to find out how to get them out of their class as I waited for the bell to ring. I remembered the time in 9th grade I'd been sick all over my desk when the teacher wouldn't let me leave, and decided that the melodramatic Yolei could probably fake something. and wouldn't it be just like her to have a number of plans for in case of disaster? she's like Joe in that- always paranoid... I almost like her. ( I'm not a big Davis or Yolei fan, but in my work I get to make them more Oc and less obnoxious, so they're growing on me)

I Figured Cody wouldn't be able to get out of class, and that Kari would take advantage of being the " ill girl" to get out of hers( and you all thought my giving her P.E as last bell didn't mean anything! It was cleverly planned! muahaha!)

then, Adventure. yay! Action. YAY! Planning for disaster: Be still my writer's cruel heart( or: YAY) Lack of cliffies.. I'll speak on that in a sec.

so I take you all back to the Koromon village, which was fun. I like visiting old haunts, as I said. this won't be the last of it. Perhaps because I have vivid memories of the things I've gone through( if not textbook facts) but I've always liked the episodes where things from a season ago get brought up. memories are important, and one of the most important words in the language is " remember" if you ask me. Anyway. 
Izzy's parents, by the way, are awesome. We will be seeing them at some point soon. How many of you have folks that would let you do what this kid does? My dad might, but Mom? No way. No.Way. She's more like sora's mom, if that. Heck, try Tai's! Still, this is why Izzy's parents are so cool. they think for a second about what happens if Izzy doesn't go. not that we see that yet. Maybe I'll throw in a flashback. Anyway, that's neither here nor there. I like the Izumi parents.
I got to use one of my all time favorite lines- which I use in real life a lot- "don't Die." of course, I usually say it to people shrieking while watching a horor movie, not people that, by virtue of being digidestined, going to the digiworld and ( worst of all) being in a story written by a teenaged fan that has started thinking about bittersweet endings, are in actual danger. heehee. I'm mean to them, poor ducks.

And that's the Chapter. It was mostly written on a 5 hour bus ride up to my school, and then a little bit was written my first week back in classes. And, as I said in my note, It was dedicated to my boyfriend, who left the week after I posted to go on his Mormon mission to Brazil. 

Almost caught up! yes!
