Notes: I know, I know...it took me an eternity to write this chapter, and it's a lame one, too. I am just so busy right now, with exams, and I don't have a clue of Physics...ARGH! So I can't write very often, and when I write, I'm a victim of the well-known WRITER'S BLOCK!!*growls*

This chapter focuses mainly on Davis, but hey, he's my favourite character!!! Now, go on with the story, and don't forget to review!

Avalanche - White Danger

Chapter 6: Meeting in a dream

"But where are we, Davis?", Veemon asked, as the two had settled down in the snow.
"I have no idea", Daisuke admitted, and stared at the scenery in front of his eyes. "I'm dreaming, I know it - feel it. And sometimes the whole landscape...disappears for a second, and I feel pain...", he shuffled uncomfortably, "Guess I am hurt."
Veemon just stared at him. "I hope not! You can't be hurt...and after all, you are here, and you are not hurt...are you?", he examined his friend and partner.
"Because I am dreaming!"
"So you never dream that you are hurt?"
"Yes...NO! Argh, Veemon, you are confusing me!"
The two friends sat there in silence. After a while Veemon added: "So this doesn't change the fact that you are still in danger and that I am not capable of protecting you.", the little digimon sounded depressed.
"What are you talking?", Daisuke shouted, "You have always protected me, so don't talk like that. It isn't your fault that we are in this situation, like it isn't mine either...", an image popped in his head, "Or maybe it is...but the sign said that there was no danger...", he murmured and continued, "Never mind, but it definitely wasn't your fault, Veemon, and I don't want to hear you talking like that ever again!!"
The blue digimon sniffed. "It's just that I feel so helpless! We are sitting there in this little room, and the only thing we can do is waiting! Gatomon is pacing up and down all the time, and Wormmon just stares out of the window. And I...I can't digivolve without you, I am totally useless!"

"Look at him", Hawkmon wailed, "How can he sleep in a situation like this one?"
"Because he's an insensible prat!", Gatomon muffled and continued to stare out of the window.
The person - digimon - they were talking about was laying in a corner of the room, head rested on the arms and sleeping.

Veemon.

For the other three, it was impossible. How could he?? Wasn't he worried at all? They knew that Veemon and his human partner took things a lot of easier then most others, but this was a little bit to easy in their eyes. Like school, for example. Although all the digimon shared the same opinion about this institution("how booooooring!"), they all knew and accepted that it was important to achieve success. But Daisuke didn't seem to care. It was not that he was stupid; he just acted like he would be. Especially for Gatomon Davis' attitude was extremly uncomfortable. Her life had been a mess before she had met Kari. It consisted of fighting, fighting - and fighting! She took thinks serious. Thinks had to be taken serious, especially thinks like a new threat to the digital world. But Davis - and Veemon - had regarded it as a game. Most time. Later they had realised their mistake, but in these first days Gatomon had hated the two.
And admired. She had been jealous. Jealous that she wasn't able to take things lightly. That she was so SERIOUS! She sighed. Maybe she should have taken this thing serious, this whole 'skiing plan'. Then this wouldn't have happened...

The blue digimon snored and mumbled something which sounded like 'useless'.

"I definitely can understand your feelings." Daisuke admitted and looked at his partner. "I would feel the same if it would be you. And I hate this. You know that patience is not my strongest side!", he chuckled. Then he stared at the sky. The same blue like before, although he knew that it was a dream. A very strange dream, indeed, but a dream. The boy sighed. It seemed to be hopeless; he was probably dying there in the snow, without noticing it. And Veemon...Veemon would die, too, of sadness. One jerk away from the world, he though bitterly. Maybe the others will make a party when I am dead....

But the others are here - what if they die? Tai will be so sad....and Ken's parents - I don't want to think of this!

If his friend could digivolve, then he would find him, no matter what. But he couldn't digivolve alone....
He jumped up. "YES! I KNEW THAT THERE'S A SOLUTION!"
Veemon stumbled backwards and glared at his partner. "A solution for what?"
Daisuke grinned. "How to get out of here...I mean, how I can get out of the avalanche, and the others, too!"

* * *

So I am dying

It was strange, but she didn't feel pain anymore. And the cold. She was just...weak. And she wanted to go to sleep, wanted to close her eyes and disappear.
But she knew that this action would probably be her last one. Because nobody wakes up when he falls asleep in the cold.
She was still fighting, but her resistance became weaker and weaker with every minute which passed.

I don't want to stay awake...

There was this little voice in her head, calling her to fall asleep. And the voice became stronger and stronger, while the other one, the Hikari who wanted to survive weakened...

Because I want to survive.

.....

No, they won't. I can't give up! They will be so sad. And I want to live! I wanted to work in a kindergarten, with many kids. I wanted to marry, I wanted to see different places of the world.

Why can't I be like Daisuke? Why do I always have this...darkness in my heart? People call me kind and caring, but sometimes...I am not strong. I have never been. I am an easy target for the darkness. Why? There are so many fears inside my heart, fears which make me weak.

* * *

"Whaaaaaaaaat???", Veemon shouted. "And you believe that will work??"

"Yes, I do.", Daisuke said and grinned broadly.

"Aww, Davis, are you nuts?", the blue digimon complained. "It is impossible! I can't digivolve. You are not there, I mean, we aren't together...physically. It won't work!"

"It HAS to work!", the brown-haired boy said seriously. "We have no other chance! And look, Veemon, we are together, aren't we? I mean, you are you and I am...I, we can talk! Even if I am buried under masses of snow and you are somewhere in the village, we have found a way to communicate! That has to mean something, or not?" The digimon thought for a while. "Maybe you are right, but...", he hesitated,

"Ya know, perhaps I can digivolve, but we have no use of it. If I digivolve here - in your dream - I can't rescue you, because I am, well, in your dream. It's not reality!"
"That's a point.", Davis admitted unwillingly. "But....", another grin spread over his face. "But we can arrange that! You just have to digivolve when you are awake!"
Veemon sighed. "But then you are not there!"

"Maybe not physically, but in my thoughts!", Davis pointed to his head. "Come on, Veemon, you have to believe that it will work! Together we can manage everything! And you can digivolve without my help. You just have to believe!"
The little digimon didn't know what to say. His partner and friend looked so....hopeful! But it couldn't work, it was impossible...no digimon could digivolve without his human partner, it had never happened and it would never happen!

He wanted to explain it, but the hope in the eyes of Daisuke made him stay silent. Suddenly he realised how bad it had to be for Davis! Being stuck in the snow, fearing that you might die every second....He was just a kid, after all. Like Veemon was just a small digimon. He wanted nothing more than survive! And he grabbed every chance he could get....
Veemon forced a smile. "I guess it's worth a try!", and Daisuke beamed.

Maybe it can work - if I believe. I have to be strong, for Davis - and for myself.

I can't destroy his hopes.

Because he has nothing else left....

It was chaotic. Many people were running around, shouting orders. The dogs were barking, and every five minutes the sound of a helicopter could be heard. The villagers tried desperately to find survivors in the snow of the avalanche, but with every hour the hope sank. It was getting dark, and the circumstances were not lucky.

Daisuke's grandparents could do nothing than worry. Every hour they called for news, but nobody had found four children. They didn't know what to do; should they phone the relatives of the kids?
Or should the wait a little more - maybe there was a chance that they survived....

Daisuke's grandmother made the decision. "We have to call the, dear.", she said sadly, while looking out of the window. "If it would have been our son, we would want to know it, too. The idea of sitting at home - peacefully watching tv - while my daughter or my son is in danger, I would never survive that." And the looked at her husband who sighed. "You are right. I will call them."

Slowly he stood up, appearing much older than he actually was. "It was the first time for 5 years Davis stayed with us for a longer time.", he whispered. "I hoped that he - and his friends - would enjoy their time here. And now that...."
His wife put an arm on his shoulder. "I know. I like his friends; I liked them from beginning. The cheerful Miyako, the shy Ken and the lovely Hikari. They didn't deserve it...they are great friends. And great kids..."

They stood in silence. "I have to call them.", the grandfather said and walked towards the door, shoulders slumped. It would be a hard call; the hardest call ever...

"Okay, you have everything memorized?", Daisuke asked.

"Yes, sir!", Veemon grinned and saluted. "Ready to wake up - although I have no idea how to do that!"

"You'll figure it out", the boy said calmly and watched the surroundings. "But you have to hurry; I feel the pain again, and the scenery is getting blurry...maybe I will wake up soon" ...or die, he added in his thoughts, but didn't speak it out loud. Veemon was frightened enough.

"Okay, as soon as you wake up you have to digivolve, understood?"

"I have listened to the instructions!"

"Yeah, but you are like me; I wanted to make sure that you hadn't slept during my explanations!"

Veemon pouted.

"Don't be angry, it was a joke.", Davis laughed and lifted his partner up. "I will think of you, and hopefully you'll manage it. It depends on you if we are rescued or not. As Flamedramon you can burn the snow, and you can sense me."

"Yes.", Veemon said simply and looked at his partner. It depended on him, on his little blue shoulders whether his dear friend would be rescued or not. Whether he would be able to play soccer again or...die. The digimon shuddered. Too much responsibility! Four lifes! Four people he knew!

And it all depended on the fact if he could digivolve or not....

To be continued...
