True Colors

Story By Christochi Ishida
Song By Cyndi Lauper


........ Why won't she open up to me? Chris thought as he opened the door to Jesse's room. It had been two weeks since Matt and Jaina had died in that car accident. Jesse had shut herself up in her room; refusing to even look at anyone else since it happened, only coming out once for the funeral.

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

........"Jesse…?" he asked slowly, stepping carefully into the room. Jesanae turned her head towards his; her once vibrant amber eyes now sunken, bottomless.
........ Lifeless…

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a Rainbow

........"Go away…" Jesse said quietly, the words almost inaudible. She turned her head again.
........Chris started to get a little frustrated. "Jesanae Tekani, I order you to get your ass out of this room, brightened up, and stop acting like you're dead!"
........Jesse turned back toward Ishida. "How dare you, Chris. Who the hell do you think you are? I lost my husband and you think that by busting in here, you can make me happy? You have no idea what I'm feeling…"
........Chris exploded. "NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE FEELING? JESANAE TEKANI, YOU BITCH! I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE FUCK YOU’RE FEELING! I'M FEELING IT TOO! UNLESS YOU'VE FORGOTTEN, I LOST MY WIFE IN THAT FUCKING ACCIDENT!"
........Jesse gasped. Chris turned and ran out of the apartment, blinking back waves of tears.

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laugh
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

........Shit! Chris' right. I'm hurting Matt because I'm not living my life right! And I am a bitch for saying that to Chris. It's hurting him so much too because he lost Jaina…
........"Ishida, you baka! Come back, please!"
........Jesse ran out of the house, following Chris.

And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a Rainbow

........Jesse finally caught up with Chris, who was sitting on a park bench. She approached the former gang leader with caution.
........"Chris…"
........Ishida looked up at her with dimmed eyes, the tears finally falling. He cried,
........"Why!? Why did this happen to us, Jesse?"

Can't remember
When I last saw you laugh…

........"I don't know Chris. All I know is that you're right; I'm hurting Yama's memory by being like that. He wouldn't have wanted me being like that. Not at all."

If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

........Jesse sat down next to Ishida and hugged him close, Chris doing the same to her. Then, they let out the sadness and frustration, holding tightly to each other, their tears falling together as they poured their hearts and souls out to their lost loved ones.

And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors are shining through

........"Chris." Jesse said. "I'm so sorry about saying that about you not knowing what I was going through…"
........"It's okay, Jesse. It's okay. You're upset, same as me."
........Chris then lifted Jesse's chin to look deep into her eyes.
........"I'm not saying that we'll replace Matt and Jaina for each other. But we'll help the other get through this. And who knows? The future might have a bright spot for us after all."
........Christochi Ishida extended his left hand, the one closest to his heart.
........"Deal?"
........And Jesanae Ishida clasped it tightly with her own left hand.

I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid
To let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a Rainbow

The End


(all stare in shock)

Jesanae-chan: Well…that was certainly morbid enough.

Yamato & Jaina-chans: ARGH!!!! YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN ROB!!! COUPLE-SWITCHING AUTHOR!!!!

R80: Please don't bring me into this.

(Chris turns to Davis and puts something into his hand)

Christochi-chan: It's your turn to do the disclaimer. (turns and runs like Hell)

Daisuke-chan: Aw, do I have to?

Christochi-chan: (from down the street with Matt and Jaina chasing him) Kari wants you to do it!

Daisuke-chan: (excited and happy) OK!!!!! (clears throat) Christochi Ishida doesn't own Matt, Izzy, or any other actual Digimon character or concept. He does, however, own himself, Christochi Ishida, Jaina Skye, Zeke Aranda, Theresa Takashi, and Jacen Skye. He now also owns Mocimon. He wished to own Keramon, however Toei already does. Jesanae Tekani is owned by herself. Jennifer Morton is owned by herself. The song "True Colors" is owned by C-chan's all-time favorite song writer and singer, Cyndi Lauper. (YES, it's spelled that way!) If you want to know if you can borrow any of C-chan's characters for one of your own fics, email C-chan at:

Flames, comments, and suggestions are always welcomed. You can also email Jesanae-chan at:

Thank you. (holds sign proclaiming that Ranma ½ and Pokemon are evil. Chris holds up said that says "Remember to water your plant, and kill your Davis!" Zeke now adds a sign that says something about how George W. Bush can suck the NWA's... Jaina holds up sign that reads: "The three things in the world you can trust: taxes, death, and the fact that you can't trust anybody.”)

Daisuke-chan: Chris' sign quote is owned by Hikari4Takeru, or just H4T. What a sweetie. (H4T makes puking sounds) Jaina's sign quote is owned by Stone Cold Steve Austin and either the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) or Extreme World Championship Wrestling (EWCW) I'm not sure.

(Jesse takes a look as the thing in Davis' hand and runs after Chris with murder and bloodshed in her eyes.)

Daisuke-chan: What's that all about? (realizes that he's holding a pair of blue panties with Jesse's name on them) Oh, now I understand. (runs off to find Kari and is promptly beaten to death by Diaboromon, Rob's ExVeemon, and Goddramon)
