[[ Ah :C I guess we're back to the normal numbers c: We can start. ]]

The bell had rung, and everyone was out of school, asides from the kids that stayed behind for after-school clubs. Sanae was one of those kids, staying after for her sports activities. After a grueling hour of baseball drills, Sanae finally had a few minutes to herself. 

"I feel very energetic! I will be the star in basketball!" She repeated to herself, hoping that these words would be true. Glancing at herself in the mirror, Sanae sighed and plopped down on a nearby bench, drawing out her phone, typing a quick text message to her parents, as-suring them that she was safe. Just when she hit the send button, her phone jammed.

"What? Come on, I've had this phone for two years!" Sanae protested, repeatedly pressing the 'Send' button. Just then, the screen blanked out, replaced with a black screen. Sanae growled in frustration, attempting to turn the phone back on. Orange text suddenly sprouted up, reading 'Entrance to the DigiWorld'.

"What's happening? Is this some sort of stupid joke?" Sanae continued pressing random buttons on her cellphone, accidentally clicking the 'Ok/Send' button. She was enveloped in blinding white light that seemed to swallow her, making her black out. When Sanae came to, she was surrounded by... forest? A small brown path, trodden down by many feet, was near Sanae.

"This must be a dream." She muttered to herself.

'Course it's not! A voice replied. "Uh?" Sanae looked around her. There, right beside her, was a little blob. Or was it a blob? The blob had eyes and ears, and a little mouth.

Welcome to the DigiWorld! It sang, bouncing up and down.

"Aaaugh! Talking blob!" Sanae screeched, scrambling away from it. The blob looked quite offended. Hey, that's not how you should talk to your partner! It retorted.

"...Partner?" Sanae looked confused. The blob sighed. Honestly, didn't they brief you on all this stuff? Is your name Lilly? It asked. Sanae shook her head. "Uhh... It's Sanae." She corrected it. Now it was the blob's turn to look confused. Huh. They said my partner would be right here, and her named would be Lilly. It started bouncing around in circles, appearing to be deep in thought.

"Um, yeah, delightful. What's your name, talking blob?" Sanae asked. The blob stopped and look up at Sanae. For your information, Sanae, I'm a Paomon, not a blob. It said. And don't think I'm a girl either. The Paomon pouted and bounced into Sanae's lap. Well, you ain't no Lilly, but I guess you'll do. Paomon chirped.

"Your name is Paomon?" Sanae asked, getting a nod in reply. "That's an odd name... Who gave it to you?" I'm a Paomon. It's my species, and my name. Paomon declared with a yap. "So there's more of you?" Sanae continued her questions. Paomon gave her an exasperated nod. Boy, you sure love questions, don't you? He complained. Sanae gave an absent-minded mmmf in reply, still looking at her surroundings.

Natsume had lingered back in school, pulled back by his after-school clubs. He had snuck off after half and hour, finding solace in the school library. He whipped out his DS, something he had always taken to the clubs. Sighing, he slumped down on the couch and turned it on, only to find a blank screen.

"Did I forget to charge it?" He grumbled, pressing all the buttons. Like Sanae, orange text suddenly appeared on the screen, reading 'Entrance to the DigiWorld'. Confused, Natsume pressed the 'A' button in his DS, making the text disappear.

"I'm definitely getting a refund on this." He muttered, then was blinded by white light. When Natsume blinked his eyes back open, he was surrounded by a terrain similar to where Sanae was. A brown path was in front of him, surrounded by green gra-ss and tall trees.

"Ufff, where am I?" He groaned, getting up to a sitting position. A little pink ob
ject landed on his head the next moment.

"What now?" He complained reaching up and grabbing the ob
ject. "...Bird?" He asked himself. Poromon welcomes you to the DigiWorld! It said in a sing-song voice. "Talking bird!" Natsume said, unable to throw it away. Poromon said she was a Poromon, not a thing you call bird. The Digimon pouted. Natsume let the little bird back on the ground, mas-saging his head with his hands.

"This is not happening, this is not happening, I cannot be hallucinating." He muttered. Poromon bounced next to Natsume. Hallucinating? She echoed curiously. Natsume reached out to poke the little Digimon. Ouch! What was that for? Poromon protested. "Nothing. Just to make sure this isn't a dream." Natsume mumbled. 

((Ah, I was going to use my ds....)

"I totally beat you!" A teenager crowed to her brother who was playing the dead character on her computer screen. Her character jumped up and down after winning, making the teen laugh. "Alright, I'm off to work." She had an internship at a cofee place to go to. She clicked the save button on the computer, but it froze and suddenly a screen popped up. "Enterence to the digital world? What's that?" She wondered and clicked ok. The instant she did so, her eyes seemed to rip out of their sockets as a bright light enveloped her and she fell....

When Feyth woke up, she found herself not staring at a computer screen, but into the bright blue eyes of a raindrop creature. She scrambeled back a few paces, knocking the raindrop off her lap. "AGH!" She screamed, covering herface with her hands. Wait? You're not 11. The raindrop said with a slight pout on her face. 

"Thtranks for pointing out the obvious little Raindrop." The 14 year old's voice dripped with sarcasm as she stared wide eyed at the bouncing raindrop. "I'm 14." She stated , now glaring at whatever-the-heack was in front of her. I am nota raindrop, I am a moonmon. The moonmon glared bravely back at her, not something many people would dare to do, of course the creature in front of Feyth was not a person, obviously.

"Well, I'm gonna call you Raindrop." Feyth laughed and poked the moonmon, making her finger get bitten by something sharp. She growled and and withdrew her finger, once again, glaring at Raindrop. Fine, as long as you don't poke me anymore.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Quin Minoki leaned back in his chair, sighing. He character on the computer screen had been sliced to death by his twin sister's wicked sword. She always beat him, so it was nothing new. He got up and walked over to where his sister should have still been sitting and saw that her screen had gone blank except for a blinking box. He poked the screen and was whisked away tyo who knows where.

"Umph..." He fell from the what seemed to be the sky and onto a small pokey ob
ject and heard a soft cry. WHAT was that for??? A muffled voice asked, growling slightly as he got up. "Umm... Sorry?" He didn't know why there was a winged blob on hi slap, but it was kind of creepy. Aren't you going to get out your digivice? The angel thing asked. "Ummm...what's that?" He wondered stillcreeped out by the talking blob.

Oh, honestly,  they don't train kids like they did back in my moth- "Umm, I'm not a kid,I'm her twin brother." He pointed to his twin sister who was sitting with a blue raindrop on her lap. They seemed to be fighting about something, which wasn't knew to him. Feyth would fight with a rock if it disagreed with her. Wait? You're not Ryan? Quin shook his head and then shrugged. "So, are you a female or a male and what the heck are you?" He was now kind of scared. Maybe this was heaven, but if this was heaven then there wouldn't be roars and such. We don't really have genders, but I geuss I am male. And my name is Puttimon, though I get called Ona sometimes. Quin rubbed his head and sighed.

Mizu stayed behind after school to help in the computer suit. It had just been updated with a new system her father had helped design so she was asked to finish off with loading the programs on see how she new the p*censored* code. SHe made a pft sound as she bleww a tuft of hair from her face. 

She wanted to be in cooking club, but the room was ocupied with Mrs.Kurosaki and the endless piles of cupcakes. She and her husband were going through a rough time, and Mizu was never good at comforting people.

"Good night Senpai." Announce a lower year student who had asked Mizu to teach him programming. "Cya." She called back, wavering her hand to the boy who had just left. "Now why did i volunteer for this again?" She muttered to herself. "Because you would just make Mrs.Kurosaki cry more, thats why." She replied as she hit enter on the keyboard.

Turning from the screen and pulling her shirt back on she was surprised to hear the fan still going. Turning she saw an orange font. 'Entrance to the DigiWorld'. it read. "Digiworld? Isn't that from a game?" She hit enter again to investigate, however was consumed by light.

"Ouch my head." She muttered, blinking as she leant forward from the tree that she had just hit her head on. "Tree?" She turned to see a towering tree above her with vines hanging off it. "Yes, thats a tree, now can we go already?" "Nah, no yet, My head is still pounding."

Mizu paused, no one ever answered her, they alwasy though she was weird. Turning her head slightly she saw a puppy like creature infront of her with a silver ring around its neck. "What's wrong with you? Nevermind. You ain't who you are supposed to be, but I guess you will do... Can we go now?" Asked the puppy. "What Kind of dog are you? And what do you mean I ain't who I'm supposed to be." Asked Mizu. The 'Puppy' Didin't answer Mizu's question. "I ain't no dog missy. I'm a Salamon." It yapped. 

Mizu Blinked and shook her head before picking herself up off the floor. "Well Salamon, where is it you wanna go?"

Ichigo ran down the coridoor chasing after His friend Dinka, however soon lost sight of him as he turned the corner up ahead. deciding to stop to catch his breath, he ended up outside the computer suit and heared talking from inside. It was the girl who sat infront of him in cl*censored*. Mizu. He sniggered about to burst in on her, but was shocked when she wasn't there. 

What was there though was a computer with something on the screen. He sat down and squinted at the monitor. 'Entrance to the Digiworld.'  What was that supposed to mean? Going for Ctrl, Alt + Del he hit enter instead and was engulfed in white.

Jolting up he was surrounded by tree's and a path infront of him. Scrambling to his feet he looked around like a scared fox. He ruffled his hair. "What happed here?" 

"You entered the Digiworld. Well thats the blunt answer anyway." Ichigo yelped at the sight of the small purple thing at his feet. "What are you? A land fish?"  Ichigo kept on blinking, this couldn't be real could it? "I find that insulting. I'm no fish, I'm hopmon. Besides, who are you? You are no Jessica" Replyed the Hopmon frowning. "Who on earth is Jessica?" "On earth? some girl, here, she should be my partner, however it seems I'm stuck with you." "Oh lighten up."

"Come back here, you thief!"

Taiya snorted, speeding up in her run just to annoy the three punks chasing her. Not that it was much of a chase. The three males were lagging horribly behind her and already looked like they were pushing themselves not to fall over and Taiya had only just broken a sweat, which she blamed on the heavy coat she was wearing.

The area of town she lived in wasn't exactly the safest place to live in. Girls who weren't with adults or very scary looking boys were often hara.ssed by guys who thought they were "all that." To prevent this, Taiya's oldest brother made her dress up a bit like a guy whenever she went out. Her hair had to be tucked up under her hat, she had to wear the covers he'd made for her shoes to make them look like skate shoes - she refused to wear tennis shoes instead of her high sandel things - and she had to wear almost like a cloak to cover her clothes. Whenever she'd complain about looking like a Sherlock Holmes wanna-be, he'd just laugh and say the hat wasn't right. Her voice was even right on that bar where she could naturally fake a young male's voice.

Not that being a small guy on the streets was any better. Especially when you just "stole" something from three street thugs.

"I didn't steal it," Taiya muttered. "I returned it to the guy you stole it from." She sped up again, losing sight of the guys. Just to make sure she wouldn't be followed, she cut two more corners and hoped over a fence - she prided herself on being able to jump and climb like, how her brothers put it, a monkey - before ducking into an abandoned warehouse to catch her breath.

As she was rubbing a bit of sweat from her cheek, her cell phone went off and she almost jumped out of her over-sized coat in surprise. She fished it out of her pocket to check who was texting her, frowning when she saw the white screen.

"What? Did you get banged up again?" As she spoke, orange symbols that didn't look like any language she'd heard of flicked up on her screen before rearanging into Kanji.

"'Entrance to the DigiWorld,'" She read aloud. "Some sort of prank?" There was the option of Yes or No. She smiled and laughed a little before pressing Yes. "Just a dumb joke, why not?"

Not even a second later the her vision was blinded by a bright light and she was overcome by a falling sensation as if the ground had been ripped from under her.

A few moments later - although she really had no way of knowing - she came to. The first thing she noticed was the quietness. There was always something making noise around her house, but here there was only the peaceful sound of the wind rustling through leaves.

"Wait... Trees?" She murmured, sitting up. Where in the world was she?

Welcome to the Digital World, person who should not be here.

Taiya blinked and and turned around, rubbing her eyes at what she saw. Floating about a half foot off the ground was a little, sun-like fireball. Only it had a face, and it didn't look happy.

I was expecting a small boy, not a big one. It said, and Taiya jolted. So it had been the one to speak. She picked up a stick and poked it.

HEY! The fire on the little sun-ball's top flared up. What was that for?!

"So you are real." Taiya said, a mistified ex
pression on her face.

Yes I am real, and I suppose I'm also your partner. The sun-ball said. I'm Sunmon. 

"You look like the sun." Taiya said with a smile, snatching up Sunmon in her arms and standing up. He - or at least he sounded like a he from his voice - felt warm, but he didn't burn her. "I'll call you Taiyo! It means sun and, if we're partners, it matches my name!" She said excitedly. All her previous worries were forgotten in the wake of this new, interesting place. "My name is Taiya, by the way."

Taiya? That's a girl's name. Taiyo blinked, looking up at Taiya in surprise.

"I am a girl."

You don't look or sound much like a girl.

Taiya rolled her eyes. "You'll get used to it once you see me without the hat and coat."

Satsuki leaned back in his computer chair. He lived relatively close to the school, so he could get home quickly in a few minutes. He stared at his dark wall, his feet kicked up onto the desk as he loosened his tie. His school jacket was already tossed aside and headphones were already over his ears, his iPod held lazily in his hand. He really needed to relax after a long stressful day of having to deal with his cla.ssmates.

After a little while the music stopped coming to his headphones. Half-asleep, he jolted slightly from the silence and sat up, dropping his feet to the floor to inspect his iPod. Had it died?

He frowned. The screen was white, and orange writing was flashing across it. 'Entrance to the Digiworld.'

"What does that mean?" he muttered, pressing buttons in hopes of getting his iPod back to normal. As soon as he pressed the center button, a flash of blinding light filled his room..

Wake up!

Satsuki groned, shifting and realizing he was on his back with something heavy on his chest. The voice came again more urgently and he slowly opened his eyes. His crimson ones met large orange ones fit onto an oldly shaped purple and white face.

Good morning! The thing said.

"Augh!!!!" Satsuki yelled, jump up and sending it sprawling. "What the heck are you?!"

I'm Dorimon, and you were not the partner I was expecting but you'll have to do. Call me something else, I don't mind. Dorimon said, smiling. It looked like an odd pig-rat thing to Satsuki.

"Dorimon's hard to say." He murmured. "How about Kuhael?" It was one of his favorite fantasy names.

And that's easier to pronounce, is it? Kuhael laughed. Fine, fine! Welcome to the Digital World.

"That's what this is called?" Kuhael nodded. Satsuki looked around. "Are we alone here?" His voice sounded almost hopeful.

There are Digimon like me here, that's what we're called, but we're pretty spread out now. There should be more humans coming though, we need to find them and team up.

Satsuki looked disapointed.

Come on! This way. Kuhael started off in a direction and Satsuki started off in the other way. Hey, what're you doing?!

"Going away from everyone else." Satsuki answered then yelled out when he felt something colide with his lower back. "What the--?" He looked around, rubbing his back, and looked at Kuhael. "Did you tackle me?"

Yes, now come on! Kuhael took hold of his pant leg by his teeth and tried to drag him off, managing to jerk Satsuki a few feet.

"Fine!" he growled, annoyed. He stood up. "Let's get this over with." 

Sanae was jerked back to what seemed to be reality when she felt Paomon nosing around her pockets.

"Hey! What are you doing?" She protested, though making no attempt to brush the Digimon away. Paomon stopped and looked up at Sanae.

Looking for your DigiVice, of course! It's supposed to help me digivolve! Paomon started bouncing up and down excitedly. I wonder how it's like to digivolve? It must be really awesome! Paomon started saying.

"Look, um, Paomon, maybe I should call you something else..." Sanae stared at the little blob-dog. Paomon stopped bouncing and returned to his partner's side, still looking excited.  

But I've always been called Paomon! He protested with a yap.

"Mmm, yes, but if I say Paomon, won't a bunch of other Paomons come running my way?" Sanae pointed out. The little Digimon thought about it for a minute.

Well, fine then. But give me a cool name. He finally stated. Sanae got up and started walking along the path, carrying her partner and listing off name, each time with a 'no' as a reply.

---

So, so, so, your name is Daniel, correct? Poromon continued bouncing around Natsume, who sat cross-legged on the ground.

"What... No? My name is Natsume." He replied. Poromon stopped and thought for a moment.

Well, that's odd! Poromon thought her partner would be a boy called Daniel, not Natsume. She stated, continuing her bouncing. Natsume groaned and picked her up, holding her like a binder. 

Hey, what gives? Poromon protested.

"So you'll stop bouncing." Natsume retorted, standing up and walking along the path, the only thing in this area that gave him a sense of direction.

Going the wrong wayyy. Poromon sang from under his arm. Natsume paused and looked at Poromon.

"So what's the right way?" He asked.

Well, obviously, we're heading for the Botamon village. It's the other side of the path. It was only made brown because so many Digimon from before had walked on it. She pointed out. To Poromon's pleasure, Natsume turned around and started walking the opposite direction, still having the Digimon tucked under his arm. 

Mizu started to walk towards the opening along the dirt path. "So is this the right way?" She asked the salamon beside her, before realising thaat she wasn't. Turning round she saw the puppy like creature hopping after her. 

Yes, just keep moving! She yapped, charging past Mizu, at a rather slow pace. Mizu turned and coninued walking, catching up to the salamon in two strides. She bent down and scooped her up. I can make my own way thanks. She barked, squirming before deciding that it wasn't that bad being carried. "Yea, but you take too long. It's easier this way." Remarked mizu, holding Salamon in her crossed arms. 

As the pair entered the opening, after a descussion on tree's, Mizu looked up to the blue sky that was dusted with a few whispy clouds. "Cloud... That would be an inte..." Why are you talking to yourself? Asked the salamon, looking up, the top of her head align with mizu's flat chest. "Its something I do... Hey Salamon, mind if I call you Cloud?" Said mizu, re changing the subject. Don't see why not. She replied.

Hopping down from Mizu's grasp landing with a thud, the newly named Cloud shook her head and yapped hopping up and down with excitment. There's Botamon Village, come on! 

~~~~

The bounding Digimon hopped along beside Ichigo, Going on about why He wasn't Jessica. "Look, This is really weird for me. I wake up with a fish... In-training beside me, and tells me that I am meant to be a girl with a Digivice? this makes no sense." 

Hopmon bounded up a tree and onto Ichigo's head whom winced and pulled his headphones from around his neck, clasping them over his ears before tearing them off again. "Great, static."

Your not going to get any reception from a radio station here you know? He said smugly. "Go figure."

Ichigo following a very linear path looked up trying not to tip his head. "So where are we headed?" Botamon Village. 

Walking a few more steps Ichigo shrugged his shoulders. "May aswell make the most of it. So, whats a Digivice?" He asked, exiting the forest.

"What, my ipod?" Feyth reached into her jeans pocket and took out the item that seemed to be bothering Raindrop. YES! That's it! And right before Feyth's very eyes, the thing changed. It grew thicker and thicker and then grew a small point at the top. It looked like a cellphone, except that it had different things on its screen. For one, there was an otion called digivolve which seemed to be malfunctioning and another option that said Call, but she did't know how to use it.

So, you are a digidestined... Raindrop muttered to herself, forgetting for a moment that Feyth was sitting right there and heard every word. Feyth now had a quizical look on her face, but from the looks of Raindrop's excited face, she decided not to ask. So, now, off to botamon village. If there are others, their digimon will lead them there. 

"HEY! Quin! You coming?" Feyth liked to yell at her brother and this was no different. Quin stood up, glaring at Feyth and rubbing his eardrums. She sure could yell loudly. He scooped up the puttimon, Ona, and he jumped on Quin's head, making him grimace. 

"Alright." He called back.
