[Hanako Hitoehi]

(sorry itook so long!)

Hanako was pushed down onto her rump with a 'oof'. Lala whipped around, "Hana-chan!" She shrieked, rushing to her side. "I'm fine, Lala." she said standing up. The little girl that would once cry when Shana pushed her, instead was replaced with a fearless spirit that still bore the scars from that day Shana and Aruraumon attacked her. Hanako moved to stand in front of Shana, her blue eyes glittering with a dangerous emotion. "Oneecha-- no, Shana, you used to bully me, and I would cry. I won't do it anymore." She said turning to face Palmon. Bending down, she offered her hand once more. "Do you want to be friends?" Hanako asked, her dangerous look resulting into a soft, friendly one.

[Shana Hitoehi]

Shana didn't particularly care whether Hanako stood up to her, or thought that she was a 'bully' or not. That didn't matter. So long as Hanako did what she said, there wouldn't be so much of a problem. After all, this was Shana's room. It wasn't right for Hanako to come in with the door closed, even if it wasn't locked. Though this was upsetting her, something else upset her much more. Shana moved between Palmon and Hanako, who were seemingly about to shake hands.

"First, you barge into my room without asking, and now you try to take my friends away from me?! Get out!" Shana yelled at Hanako, pointing out of the room. She was obviously angry, and her blood was flowing. She was currently restraining herself from hitting Hanako, and she felt particularly threatened. Now that her boyfriend had left her, aside from Palmon, Shana had no friends, and she wasn't about to lose the first one she had ever made outside of Marik.

"Palmon is my friend! Mine! Go get your own!"

[Mirei]

Shana was acting ... strange, for some reason she was very upset, interrupted what was going to be a friendly handshake between the palmon and Hanako and accused her own sister of trying to steal the palmon from her. Something had to be done before this escalated into a brawl.

"Stop, we can all be friends!"

The botanical digimon this time was the one to get in the middle of both girls, she pulled their arms and forced them to touch each other's hand and released her enticing scents from the flower on top of her head, it had a relaxing effect that calmed the mind of whoever smelled it and reduced the aggressiveness of even the most bloodthirsty warrior ... although how effective it was depended from person to person.

"Sisters shouldn't fight, you should instead play together and join forces because two are stronger than one and if something bad happened to one of you in battle, the other one would feel sad; being alone is scary and nobody would help you if you had no friends nor a sister to help you if you get in troubles"

She couldn't believe how Shana could attack her own sister, previosly all she did was to have nice thoughts and be like super friendly, but now she was very aggressive .. almost scary, she could see that both lalamon and woodmon seemed to be worried as well about this conflict between sisters.

"Lala-chan, Aru .... Wood-chan, let's show Shana-chan and Hana-chan how having lots of friends and getting along makes you invincible!"

She called at her fellow plant digimon and hoped that unlike their tamers, they actually get along and come with her to prove to the sisters that in unity they could find the strength to overcome anything. To be alone was terrible, she herself discovered the moment she was spirited away to the human world just how horrible was that feeling of being alone, with nobody to help you. Surely Shana already knew what feels to be alone as she desperately tried not to lose the palmon's friendship.

"Shana-chan ... even if I become friends with Hana-chan and Lala-chan, I'm always going to be best friends with you, because you saved me from loneliness and I know you are a really nice person."

[Hanako Hitoehi]

Hanako felt her hand touch Shana's. Looking to the Palmon, she could tell she was only trying to help. "Shes right...besides, I wouldn't try to take her away from you. We can all be friends -- Oneesan is missing, we shouldn't be fighting anyway and instead be trying to find her." She pointed out, hoping, just maybe, her older sister would see reason. "Why are you so upset? What happened to you?" Hanako asked, her eyes becoming filled with sorrow. In the meanwhile, Lala looked to Woodmon with hesitance. Floating over, she offered her tiny hand in a hand shake. "We need to help Shana and Hana-chan become friends again. Will you help?" She asked.

[Shana Hitoehi]

Shana was a just about to calm down after hearing what Aruraumon had said. She knew that she didn't need to be mad at something so silly, but she simply couldn't control it. She didn't want to lose Palmon as her friend right after she had gotten her. Even if what Palmon was saying was true, she knew that if Palmon had other friends, then she wouldn't get to spend as much time with her. However, just before Shana went to sit back down at her computer, her sister continued poking, and this time brought up the fact that something was wrong with her, making her think of Marik which was ultimately making her all the more touchy. She felt like Hanako was trying to poke her where she was wounded.

"Nothing is wrong with me you little brat. I just don't want to share friends with you because you do this!" Shana scolded, now standing up in front of her sister and waving her index finger at Hanako while she spoke.

"You don't respect me or my privacy. You touch my things without permission! You walk into my room without knocking! I tell you again and again and you still don't do it! But, maybe I could put up with all of that if you weren't so darn annoying! You're the reason Dad left! He left to get away from you, and I want to do the same!"

Woodmon's mouth hung open at hearing Shana say this. Those sounded to be very cruel words, especially from Shana. Woodmon was so shocked that she had already completely forgotten about agreeing to help Lalamon and Palmon.

[Mirei]

"Please ... don't fight ..."

She failed. No matter how much she tried, nothing she did was enough to stop both sisters and the conflict was escalating more and more, Shana said horrible things about Hana and she was acting awfully mean and the palmon felt like it was all her fault because the fight started for her.

"I ... I'm a bad digimon ... it's my fault that Shana-chan and Hana-chan are fighting ... waaaaa!"

The palmon, with tears in her eyes, picked her shoulder bag and put inside a map of the city and a tourist guide she was studying to understand what could she expect to find in other places.

"*sniff*, I'm leaving, please don't fight anymore for me .. I'm going to find a good place where I don't cause any more problems ..."

Said that, the palmon moved next to the door of Shana's room, looked back at her friends, and slowly left the room with the intention of disappearing from their lives forever despite lacking the key needed to open the door that leads to the streets, which was the most important part of running away and completely restrained her to the house. She hadn't planned very well this attempt at being dramatical and emotional XD

[Hanako Hitoehi]

Hanako just stared at Shana. "I don't know why you're so upset, Oneechan, but you're in pain, and I can see that. You've always been stubborn, but for once, you need to let someone help you. Dad didn't leave because of me, he was going to leave anyway, Okaasan told me so." She pointed out. "I'm just trying to help you, and the more you push me away, the more you're just going to lose friends and family. Okaasan is barely home, Oneesan is missing, i'm the only one you have left. Think about it." Hanako said leaving the room to go after Palmon. "Palmon?" She asked. Stopping in front of the botanical digimon, she knelt down, offering her hand. "Don't cry, Palmon." She said attempting to lay her other hand on the digimon's head. Lala took off after her tamer, shooting Shana a look as she did so.

[Shana Hitoehi]

"UGH!"

Shana was so incredibly upset about this now, and seeing that Palmon was leaving her too now, she was growing all the more frustrated. She realized now that she wasn't cut out to have friends. Marik was probably right. She wanted to break something so bad... and Hanako was so close and right next to her. Still, she stopped herself from doing that. She wasn't even going to chase after Palmon. This was all over for her. She turned to Woodmon.

"You go with her. I don't want you anymore," Shana said to Woodmon as a demand. Woodmon's eyes opened widely. She didn't believe the words that were coming out of Shana's mouth.

"But Shana-"

"LEAVE!" Shana reiterated to her Digimon once again. She sat in her chair and rolled around to face the computer with her arms crossed on the table. She buried her face in her arms and began sobbing uncontrollably. Woodmon wanted to say or do something, but she didn't know what so she made her way out of the room to follow Palmon down the stairs. On her way there, she de-digivolved back into Aruraumon.

"Wait up Palmon... I'm coming with you."

[Mirei]

The palmon heard somebody calling her and turned back, thinking it was Shana. However, she felt a bit disappointed when she realized that it was Hanako and not her savior the one who stopped her. Still, she couldn't show disappointment and tried to be at least look grateful for her gesture

"Ok, I won't cry anymore ... but I wanted Shana-chan to come after me .... I thought she would, because we are best friends ..."

She hoped that they would stop fighting and try to stop her, but only Hanako came after her. Could it be that Shana was angry with the palmon and didn't want to see her anymore? No, that was horrible and Shana could never do something like that! Her thoughts were interrupted when once more somebody called for her, this time it was aru-chan, who become an aruraumon again.

"Aru-chan! If you are here ... does that mean that Shana-chan wants to make peace and become best friends with everybody?"

The naive palmon thought that as they spoke, Shana was going downstairs behind aruraumon with the intention of accepting everybody's friendship, so her face changed from sadness to a small smile, expecting something that might not happen ....

[Hanako Hitoehi]

Hanako's eyes widened once she heard Shana's yelling. Watching Aruraumon come out, she stood up straight, fists clenching. "All three of you stay here." Hanako said moving forward and around them and into Shana's room. "Hana-chan...?" Hanako slammed Shana's door behind her and marched over to her sister. She was about to start yelling at her, but she heard the sobbing. Placing her hand on her sister's computer chair, she turned it around so she was facing her. All of the suffering that, she, herself, Hanako Hitoehi, had endured seemed so little to the way Shana was crying right now. Knowing she would probably get thrown against the wall or something, she wrapped her arms around her sister's head, burying her face into her shoulder. "I don't care what you do to me, Oneechan...you were suffering, and I didn't see it. I get it now." She said in a soft tone. She was hoping, for once, that her sister would just let her hold her, and if she wouldn't she would hold her ground, no matter what.
