[currently Taichi's up in his tree house again and doodling in the margins of his flowchart in the journal. When he speaks, he still sounds a little sniffly from his headcold but for the most part he's better]

I'm glad it's not raining anymore, it was starting to get really boring just sleeping all day. And Hikari's doing better too which is really good.

But now what? If it were summer vacation at home, I'd probably be at my apartment playing video games and watching TV with my friends, but those don't exist here or something. If we weren't doing that, Mom and Dad would probably take us to go visit my grandma and if we weren't doing that, I'd probably be playing outside. Soccer went over really good here but it's not the same, exactly. Last summer I went to camp...sorta. That didn't last too long before we ended up in the Digital World.

...wonder how they're doing anyway. I miss Agumon...well, all of them, but you know. It's really weird being without him after so long. It's also really weird just trying to be a kid again. Not impossible, just...weird.

So hey, what's everybody's favorite thing to do in the summer? Maybe I can get some new ideas or something.

Actually our violence usually ends things faster but-...hey!

Yeah, me and Hikari are both doing okay. Almost both completely better.

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

You lock things a little better, you know? It was kind of. Begging to be hacked.

That's great! Want me to bring you guys some soup or something?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...great. No wonder Yamato freaked.

If you want to, but I think we're okay. ...actually if you wouldn't mind that'd be nice. I trust your soup.

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Of course you would. I make the best soup for people who get sick! I get enough practice as it is.

I'll be over later with some for you guys, then!

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

You're totally modest about it too. Thanks a lot, Genis!

[action!]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

[Aaand maybe an hour or so later when he knocks on your door, Tai! With a large bowl of soup for the sick siblings.]

[action!]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

[having figured Genis would be there soon, Taichi had left the tree house to hang out in the house, but when there's a knock he opens the door] Hey! ...it smells great.

[action!]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Hey! You look like you're doing okay. That drawing TK made of you looked like you were out cold or something.

[action!]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I probably was. I've been sleeping for the past two or three days, at least.

...wait, what drawing?

[action!]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Wow, it was that bad, huh? [He sets down the bowl on a conveniently nearby table, hope you don't mind, Tai!]

Ah - this drawing that he did on his journal. It should still be there, if you look.

[action!]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yamato and Tear both said it was because I didn't rest when I should have. I think I'm okay now. [Nah it's cool, that makes it easier to examine said-bowl]

Huh. I'll have to look later then to see if it is.

[action!]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Yeah, TK said that too. Really, Tai. You don't wanna be like my sister, do you?

[action!]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I probably already am, but I think I can cook better than she can. And it wasn't that bad, honest.

[action!]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

You can't be as bad as she is when it comes to her tendency to overwork herself, though. Not yet, and hopefully not ever.

[action!]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah there's no way I'm as bad as Raine and besides, what I end up doing benefits everybody else so I don't mind.

[action!]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

It's important to remember that it should benefit yourself too, once in awhile. Gotta take of yourself, you know?

[action!]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah yeah, I got the lecture from Raine already. And Tear. And Yamato. And now you too.

[action!]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Heh, if it's taking that many of us, maybe you do need the lecture, huh?

[action!]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Probably. I'm sort of known for hearing things and then just doing it my way anyway until I learn on my own apparently. But I promise I'm still taking care of myself, okay?

[action!]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Okay, if you say so!

[action!]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Trust me. [busy looking at the bowl again] What kind of soup did you make?

[action!]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Chicken soup, of course. What else can make you better?

[action!]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Smells great...thanks a lot, Genis. I bet 'Kari's gonna love it.

[action!]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

It's no problem! If she does, I can always make more!

[action!]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

I'm really glad you like cooking. Makes my life a lot easier.
