Digidreams Do Come True!
Part 1: Last Day in the Digital World!
It had been almost two years since the kids had seen their Digimon last. After their final battle with all of the evil Digimon inhabiting the Earth, the gate was closed for good, just like what happened before with the first set of Chosen Children. Their purpose had been served. They all cried as they said good-bye and they thought of them everyday. Just as before, only the Chosen Children of Japan and the children that had Digimon Partners were the only ones who had any recollection of all that had happened two years earlier. Even the parents of the Chosen Children in Japan remembered them this time and still do. All footage of the Digimon invading earth, mysteriously disappeared. As a matter of fact, any story or news report on the Digimon that had inhabited the earth wasn't in the old records, making it seem as if it had never happened at all.
A 15-year-old tannish-haired Mimi sat in her room on her bed. It was late in the afternoon and she had just returned home from school a short while earlier. She was indeed thinking of Palmon while looking down at her Digivice, which she was holding in the palm of her hand.
'Oh Palmon, how I miss you and the other Digimon so much!' she thought while trying to fight back tears. 'I'll never forget that day...'
Flashback>
"I hate to have to tell you this again, but it is time to say good-bye to your Digimon," a handsome, dark-haired man wearing a long white robe told the children that stood before him.
All of the children and the Digimon were surprised to receive such news.
"Gennai, you can't mean that!" a big haired boy by the name of Taichi managed to say.
Gennai looked over at the boy and then at the others. He then stared down at the ground, a look of sorrow on his face. That was the only answer Taichi and the other Digimon needed.
"I don't want to say good-bye again!" Takeru cried out, grasping his off-white fisherman's cap tight in his hand.
"Why do we have to say good-bye?" a girl with dirty-red hair asked, nearly crying. "Why can't we visit anymore?"
"Well, Sora, your purpose has been served and both worlds are now safe once again," Gennai explained. "The different gates which allowed you to travel to and from the Digital World no longer needs to be open and will be closing for good very soon, making it impossible for you all to stay or for you to come back. All of the other Chosen Children of the world have said good-bye to their Digimon and are already back."
"Poor Michael," Mimi frowned. "I know he'll be upset since he can't see Betamon anymore."
Gennai nodded.
All of the kids had looks of depression on their faces as looked down at their Digimon partners, knowing that this may just be their last time seeing them.
"Like before," Gennai instructed.
"You don't have to tell us, we know the deal," Taichi gloomily answered before Gennai could say any more.
All of the kids, one by one, told their Digimon Partners good-bye.
Taichi sat on the ground if the woodsy like area that they were in with a gloomy look on his face, as well as Sora. Agumon sat down next to Taichi and Piyomon sat down next to Sora.
"Don't worry Taichi, I'm sure we'll see each other again," the orange fire reptile assured his human partner.
"Yeah, we did before," the pink bird reminded them.
"I'm not so sure this time, Piyomon," Sora frowned with her head lowered.
Piyomon looked at Sora in confusion, not truly understanding why she seemed to be so negative. "Why not?"
"Piyomon, I'm with her. Look how long it took us before we saw any of you after our first adventure together; three years. Does this mean we'll have to wait another three years or until something bad happens to the Digital World before we see you all again?"
"I just don't want to have to say good-bye again!" Sora cried.
"Let's not think about that," Agumon suggested, hoping to ease all of the negative tension. "Just remember the good times we've all had together."
"Yeah, think of it as if we're first meeting each other and now you have to go on a long trip someplace," Piyomon optimistically added.
Taichi nodded and hugged Agumon and shed tears, but tried his best not to cry completely.
"I'm going to miss you, Agumon."
"I'm going to miss you too."
"Oh Piyo," Sora sobbed loudly while hugging Piyomon, "I was hoping this day would never come!"
"I'm going to miss you Sora, just never forget me..."

Daisuke had his back leaned against a tree while V-mon stared up at
him with sad eyes.
"Well, it was nice knowing you, V-mon." Daisuke's voice was a bit shaky, and his nose was starting to run.
"Same here, Daisuke."
"Who would've thought that there was a whole world filled with you guys," he sniffled, "and that I had my very own who turned out to be the best friend I ever had!"
The goggle-headed boy couldn't hold out any longer and started to cry as he gave V-mon a giant hug.
"I'm going to miss you V-mon!" Daisuke said between sobs. "Just promise me that you'll never forget me!"
"Just as long as you don't forget me!" V-mon sobbed, tears flooding his eyes.
"And just to think," Daisuke whimpered, "I never got the chance to teach you how to play soccer."
"I'll just pretend that you did and make up the rules as I go along, that way I won't forget you and your love for soccer."
Daisuke broke the hug and started to dig through his pocket.
"I don't have anything, but I want you to have this."
He pulled out a bracelet and placed it on V-mon's wrist.
"What's this?"
"It's a friendship bracelet," the maroon-haired boy explained.
"A friendship bracelet?"
Daisuke nodded.
"I was planning on giving this to Hikari-chan, since we're good friends, but I'm giving it to you instead," he told him. "Just ignore the Hikari written out on it. You're my best friend, and I can always make another one to give to Hikari-chan. If I would've known that this was going to be our last day together, I would've made it for you in the first place and put the name V-mon on it."
"Daisuke, I-I don't know what to say."
"Don't say anything. Just think of it as a memento to remember our friendship by. Just remember, we're invincible and will never lose to what we believe in!"
The small, blue Digimon smiled at how optimistic his human partner was and felt bad because he didn't have anything to give him.
"But Daisuke, I don't have anything to give you."
"You already have," the boy smiled. "You gave me great memories
and I have my D3 and D-Terminal which will always remind me of you."
******
Jou sat down next to the lake with Gomamon. He knew how Gomamon
liked water. He then sighed and started throwing pebbles in the lake,
something he always did whenever by water.
"It was nice seeing you again, Gomamon, even if it was for a short while."
"Yeah, I know," Gomamon nodded. "Hopefully we'll get to see each other again in the future."
"I hope so and I'll visit more too instead of studying all of the time!" Jou promised. "I'll visit every Sunday and whenever I have a school holiday."
He then frowned and remembered that it would be hard to do that as well.
"I forgot, I have cram school." He then gave out an exasperated sigh. "I just knew that we would always be able to come here. I didn't even think that all ways to the Digital World would end up closing, just like before."
"Trying to become a doctor and working hard in school takes a lot of hard work, Jou," Gomamon said. "It's not your fault that you couldn't come as much with your studying all of the time. You are in your last year of Junior High School, after all, and you said something about studying for High School Entrance Exams. Besides, there was always some type of trouble here and I wouldn't have been of much help, nor you. But the time we spent in the real world together was fun, even if we were traveling around the world and meeting other kids and sending the Digimon invading it back to the Digital World."
"Never a moment's rest," Jou chuckled lightly, "but I still wish I could've spent more time with you."
"Let's shake," Gomamon said as he put out his paw. "Friends forever."
"You got it buddy," Jou nodded. "Friends forever."
"And if it so happens that I don't see you again, I wish you the best of luck of becoming a great doctor."
"Thanks and I'm going to try and be the best doctor ever, just to make you proud!" Jou said with determination.
"You already have, Jou," Gomamon stated proudly, "you've finally gained some self-confidence in yourself. That's the best thing ever to me."
Jou smiled and hugged Gomamon.

In another part of the forest...
"Just when I get used of coming to the Digital World and everything is safe and we can finally have leisure time, I have to say good-bye!" Miyako said while crying.
"Yes, this is quite upsetting," Iori said slowly.
"It's hard to believe that I have to say good-bye to you," Armadimon said while looking up at Iori. "We just met practically."
"Now, now, let's try not to cry," Hawkmon said. "It was all part of the inevitable. We should have known that we were going to have to part ways sooner or later."
"But...but...why did it have to be so soon!" the girl said between sobs. "I love you, Hawkmon, and I hate to see people I love, leave!"
Iori was quiet for a moment. He knew exactly how Miyako felt. He loved Armadimon too and he knew what it was like to lose someone that you loved, maybe not in the same sense as Miyako. She was just upset because she wasn't going to see her friend anymore, but there was a chance that she could see him again. The person he lost he couldn't see again no matter how much he wanted to. He lost his father a good while ago when he was very young. He died in the line of duty and was a highly respected police officer.
"Let's just think of all the good times we've had together," Iori managed to say after being so quiet for so long. "Good memories."
The two Digimon nodded.
"I'm going to miss you Armadimon," Iori said. "Because of you, I learned that people can change and that everyone deserves a second chance."
"You took the longest time to trust Ken who was no longer the Digimon Kaiser even after he saved you," Armadimon pointed out. "I'm just glad that you realized it and didn't continue to hold a grudge against him."
"And because of you, Hawkmon, I learned, well, nothing," Miyako said with a grin, "but I did learn what it was like to have such a great friend and I guess to not act so recklessly."
"Happy to be of service," Hawkmon bowed.
"Just make me a promise Iori. Try to become the best Kendo person ever, or whatever it's called."
"Sure thing, Armadimon. I promise to do my best when in my Kendo training sessions with my grandfather."
"And promise me that you'll become that independent, highly motivated woman of the 21st century, Miyako-san," Hawkmon said to his hyper, lavendar-haired human partner. "I'm sure that you will achieve it since you're a very hard worker. Who knows, maybe one day you'll go to America and become their first woman President."
"Sure thing, Hawkmon!" Miyako nodded while giving her victory pose. "I now have more of a reason to try and reach that goal!"
"Is it not strange how we are right near the temple where we first discovered you," Iori asked.
"Quite ironic," Hawkmon said.
"I was so surprised to find out that I had my own Digimon that could armor evolve into something even cooler and regular evolve into something great! I'm going to miss seeing Upamon, Armadimon, Digmon, Submarimon, and Ankylomon."
"I'll miss Hawkmon in all of his forms too."
She turned to Hawkmon and smiled.
"Always remain cute and charming, Hawkmon!"
Hawkmon blushed and nodded as Iori and Miyako both hugged their Digimon.
******
Not too far away from Daisuke...
"I don't want to leave you again," Mimi cried. "Why couldn't that gate just stay open so that we could visit anytime that we like!"
"I promise this time I'm going to give you a proper good-bye, Mimi." Palmon said, tears in her eyes.
"And try not to suffocate me this time, Koushirou-han!" Tentomon warned.
Koushirou laughed at Tentomon, but got quiet.
"Well, it looks like this is good-bye again," Koushirou said.
"Koushirou, you're smart, couldn't you figure out a way for us to travel here with your computer," Mimi asked.
"I could try, but I don't think it would work," Koushirou frowned. "The Digital World is so strange."
"Yeah, it is," Mimi muttered.
"Remember that program I used and Tentomon evolved to Kabuterimon for the first time and then I tried it again on Patamon and it wouldn't work and shut my entire laptop down?"
Mimi nodded.
"Well, my guess is that it'll end up being the same exact thing, work when it's supposed to."
Koushirou noticed the look on Mimi and the other Digimon's faces. He then spoke up again.
"I know I phrased that wrong," he laughed bashfully. "I guess what I am trying to say is that more than likely, it was destined for the gate to close and no matter how hard I try or how much, it's probably going to remain closed." He sighed. "Let's just face it, this is good-bye."
"But it may be for good this time," Mimi argued. "I don't think we'll see them again after this!"
"Don't be silly," Tentomon said trying to cheer Mimi up. "Of course you'll see us again!"
"Yeah, we're sure of it!" Palmon smiled.
Koushirou and Mimi stood there with distant looks on their faces. They didn't really think that they were going to see their Digimon or the Digital World again. It was just a feeling that the both of them had, as well as the other children, with the exception of maybe one of them.
"I'm going to miss you, Koushirou-han, and I'm glad that you finally learned to interact more with people."
"Yeah, I have been working on that, and will continue to work on that just for you buddy," Koushirou said, "as well as for myself, of course," he added on.
"Atta boy!" Tentomon said proudly.
"And Mimi, I'm glad that you're braver than when you were younger."
"I know," Mimi nodded. "I am glad that I am too. I still try to look nice, but there are times where you have to fight and have to be brave and not worry about your looks."
"That's my Mimi," Palmon smiled.
"And I also learned that inner beauty is just as important as one's outer beauty."
"Really," the small plant like Digimon asked in surprise. "I taught you that?"
Mimi nodded.
"The first time you evolved into Lilymon taught me that."
"Oh Mimi!" Palmon cried.
Mimi and Koushirou both hugged their Digimon and said their good-byes.
"You know, I promised myself that I wouldn't cry and that I would act brave, but I just can't help it," Mimi's voice quivered, tears streaming down her cheeks. "You're the best friend I've ever had."
"It's okay to cry," Tentomon told Mimi, "especially if you're being suffocated and want to be freed."
"Sorry Tentomon," Koushirou apologized. "I didn't mean to hug you so tightly."
"That's okay, Koushirou-han," Tentomon said while hugging him back.
"I'm going to miss you, pal..."

A little ways from Jou...
"It looks like this is good-bye again," Gabumon said with a frown.
"Yeah," the young musician nodded.
"I'm going to miss you, Yamato."
"Yeah," Yamato nodded once again.
"Yeah," Gabumon nodded back.
They were both silent for a moment until Yamato broke the silence.
"Gabumon, I want you to have this," he said suddenly.
Yamato handed the Digimon something rectangular and shiny.
"But this is your...your---"
"I know," Yamato interrupted. "I want you to have it to remember me by and as a token of our everlasting friendship. Promise to take good care of it. I've had it since I was real young."
"But this is your harmonica!" Gabumon exclaimed. "It even has your name on it!"
"I know, but I still want you to have it. Who knows when we'll see each other again."
"Yeah, I guess you're right..." Gabumon said slowly while eyeing the metallic object being held in his paws.
"I wouldn't mind hearing you play something," Yamato smiled.
"I'm supposed to ask you that," Gabumon said with a small laugh.
"Well, let's just try a little role reversal," Yamato smiled. "Let's hear you play."
Gabumon nodded and started to play the harmonica, but not too well. Yamato laughed a bit at Gabumon's attempt.
"I think you could use a couple of lessons," Yamato said while taking
the harmonica back. "Let me teach you a song before I go. I've
played this for years and it was one of the first songs I learned when
I first got this harmonica. It reminds me of all the good times my
family and I used to have together, before my parents split up. It's
the one you've always heard me play, and it is called Run With The Wind..."
******
Ken was sitting down by himself, crying his eyes out. He didn't
want to leave Wormmon and he felt very guilty for all of the things he
had done in the past to him.
"Ken-chan?"
"I don't want to leave you, Wormmon," Ken said while crying. "Look at all the terrible things I've done to you for the past couple of years! I finally come to my senses and then this happens!"
"I forgave you," Wormmon pointed out.
"That's beside the point!"
"I knew you were kind all along," Wormmon told him, "which is why you possess the Crest of Kindness. It wasn't even your fault entirely."
"I...I..know! I...I...just...wish...that I would've realized it sooner and we would've been friends sooner," Ken said between sobs. "You helped me to see that what I was doing as the Digimon Kaiser was wrong and that you were my true friend and after I ditched the Kaiser persona, you helped me to cope with the death of Osamu-niisan more than what I had in the past, which made me closer to my parents."
"Glad to help, but you were being controlled," Wormmon reminded him. "You couldn't help what you were doing."
Ken hugged Wormmon, still crying.
"Wormmon, I will never forget you and that is a promise I intend on keeping!"
This caused Wormmon to start crying.
"Ken-chan, I won't forget you either and I'll never forget your kindness."
"Wormmon!!!" Ken screamed out. He then spoke in a small voice
and asked himself, 'Why do I keep losing people that I love? I'll
never get to see Wormmon again, just like my brother.'
******
A little ways from Mimi and Koushirou...
"Well, Hikari-chan, it looks like this is good-bye for our Digimon again," Takeru said with a frown.
"I know; I'm going to miss them."
"Be brave and don't cry," Tailmon told the two.
"Yeah, because if you start, I'll start!" Patamon said, his eyes already starting to fill with the salty liquid.
They both nodded.
"Remember that promise we made the last time we had to say good-bye, Takeru," Patamon asked.
"I sure do," Takeru nodded, "and I'm sticking with it. Let's promise to see each other again!"
Patamon flew into Takeru's arms and he hugged him.
"Exactly what I was thinking, Takeru!"
"I have something for you, Tailmon," Hikari said while going through her pocket.
She pulled out a small round object.
"I got this for you a while ago," she explained. "I was going to give this to you after we finished getting everything back to normal. I knew how upset you were over your not having your Holy Ring anymore. It's a ring and it should fit on your tail, but I got a chain to go along with it so that way you can just wear it around your neck instead. I know it's not like your regular ring but I noticed how down you were about losing it."
Tailmon looked up at Hikari with a teary eyed look. She accepted the present. The ring was gold and it had her name on it. She then hugged Hikari.
"Oh thank you Hikari," Tailmon said, accepting the gift. "It's even better than my old ring!"
"You're welcome," Hikari smiled. "You should have seen the man at the jewelry store. He gave me the most questioning look when I asked him to inscript the name Tailmon on it. He thought I was crazy and asked what a Tailmon was. I told him that he wouldn't understand."
"You couldn't think of anything, could you," Tailmon asked, giving the girl a credulous look.
"Boy," Hikari laughed, "you read me like a book."
"Well, I guess this is good-bye again," Tailmon said while looking down at the ground.
"Yep, 'til next time," Hikari said with a perky smile.
"Next time," both Patamon and Tailmon asked.
Hikari nodded and smiled.
"Strange, you said that before and we did see each other again," Tailmon pointed out.
"Hikari-chan," Takeru started, "do you know something that I don't?"
"Are you sure that you possessed the 'Crest of Hope,'" Hikari said, still smiling.
"But what are you saying," Takeru asked. "Do you really know something?"
She shrugged and smiled.
"Come on, we better get going," Hikari instructed. "We don't have much time left."
Hikari skipped off leaving Takeru, Patamon, and Tailmon who all had confused looks.
"She really said that before," Takeru asked, turning to Tailmon, "that we would end up seeing you all again?"
The small, cat like Digimon nodded.
"I sometimes wonder if her once having the 'Crest of Light' has anything to do with her always sensing things."
"Maybe she's just psychic," Patamon said.
"Maybe the both of you are right," Takeru said. "Remember when we were kids and after my brother got mad and tried to fight against Taichi-san, she ended up possessed by some being and that weird light surrounded her?"
They nodded.
"She told us, her possessed self, about how we all were chosen and about you guys and how you became our partners," Takeru recalled. "The voice also told us that Hikari was the only person that could hear her. Maybe she does have a sixth sense which allows her to sense some things. Taichi-san said that she knew what Koromon was when he got taken back to our world three years ago after his battle with Etemon."
"Do you really think that she has a sixth sense," Patamon asked.
They all shrugged and ran off to catch up with Hikari.
******
Takeru and Hikari joined the others who were all waiting apathetically
to go back home.
"Everyone is finally here" Gennai said.
"I guess we are ready to go," Daisuke muttered, still wiping away some of his fallen tears.
"Ready or not, you have to go," Gennai told him.
"Where did all of these television sets come from," Sora asked looking around.
The area now had a lot of television sets around. One per chosen.
"That's your key to getting home," Gennai explained. "All of them are set to send you back to exactly where you are supposed to be."
"So you mean that I'll end up back home in my room in America," Mimi asked.
Gennai nodded. 'I hope I set them all right. I don't want them ending up in Antarctica or anything.'
'I sense a backache coming on,' Koushirou muttered in thought. 'Every time we end up coming back home from the Digital World, I always end up on the bottom with everyone else crushing me!!'
"I'm going to miss you all," Mimi told everyone. "If we can't travel to the Digital World anymore, I won't be able to see you guys unless it's on a plane to Odaiba. I mean, I know we could always email each other or talk on the phone, but it isn't the same as actually talking and seeing you. I have no idea when I'll be able to see you all again!"
Mimi ran up and started to hug everyone. She gave all of the girls a big hug and practically cried when she hugged Miyako and Sora since they were like her two best friends out of the Odaiba group of Chosen Children.
"I'm going to miss you a lot, Sora," Mimi said while hugging the older girl. "You're one of my best friends!"
"I'm going to miss you too, Mimi-chan," Sora said while hugging her back, "but you know, we could always visit you in America. I could always talk my father into letting me. He's been having a guilt trip lately about not spending much time with me as much as he should."
"That would be so nice, especially since my parents aren't going to be visiting Japan as much anymore," Mimi said while wiping away one of her tears. "They told me that we wouldn't be since papa has his work. And they don't like me traveling to and from Odaiba by myself. They say I should wait until I am older; maybe a year or two."
Mimi then turned to Miyako and smiled at the girl.
"Miyako, I'll never forget you either," Mimi said while hugging her. "You remind me of me, pretty much, with your pure heart and hopes and dreams. Always remain pure in thought and spirit."
"Sure thing, Mimi-oneesama," Miyako said while hugging Mimi. "I'm going to miss you too, oneesama. You're like the sister I never had."
Mimi then went over to Hikari.
"Hikari, you've grown and matured so much, but when you get right down to it, you've always been mature for your age," Mimi said while hugging the younger girl. "I'll miss you just as much as the others."
"Bye Mimi-san. I hope to see you again soon."
She then turned to all of the boys.
"Taichi, you weren't all that bad of a leader," Mimi smiled. "Sure you goofed up at times, but you made up for it. I'm going to miss you."
She then kissed Taichi on the cheek.
"Hope to see you soon."
Everyone looked at her in surprise. Taichi started to blush nervously.
"Uh...sure thing Mimi..." Taichi said in a flabbergasted manner.
Next was Daisuke.
"I know I don't know you too well, but you're a sweet kid and you suredid help us out, along with XV-mon." She then kissed him on the cheek. "Goodbye."
Daisuke turned red and smiled nervously as well and nodded politely. She then headed over towards Takeru.
"Takeru, you've grown so much that it's almost hard to believe you were once an eight year old who couldn't really take care of himself."
She kissed Takeru on the cheek and gave him a wink while looking over at Hikari.
"Good luck with your personal matters," Mimi whispered to him. "I know you'll get the guts to do it some day."
Takeru couldn't move, he was stuck in place. He had never received a kiss from a girl before. She then headed over to Ken and Iori.
"Sorry," Mimi apologized, "just like with Daisuke, I didn't know you very well, but both of you are okay in my book, especially you, Ken. You helped to save my Palmon and all of the Yukimibotamon from Golemon."
Mimi then gave him a kiss on the cheek, which caused Ken to blush. Ken then nervously said "thank you." Mimi then knelt down to Iori and gave him a hug.
"Iori, promise me that you'll always remain sweet and adorable."
Iori accepted the hug and kiss but didn't blush or anything. As a matter of fact, it almost looked as if he were enjoying the attention from Mimi and was smirking. He also acted as if he had been in this type of situation before.
"No problem, Mimi-san; I promise."
"Always polite," Mimi smiled. "I hope you never change."
She then went over to Yamato.
"Yamato, I'm glad you are pursuing a career in music. You're a great musician as well as a talented one."
She gave him a kiss on the cheek and the smiled playfully at him.
"Too bad I never got the chance to sing in your band."
Yamato blushed nervously, just like the time when they were hitchhiking to Odaiba and an older pretty lady stopped for him and offered him a ride.
"Well, there's always a place for you if you ever want to try out. You-you do have a nice singing voice," he managed to say, still a bit nervous from Mimi's sudden kiss.
He then regained some of his composure and started to speak normally.
"Next time you come for a visit, I'll let you sing with my band as a guest. I'm sure Akira, Yutaka, and Takashi wouldn't mind. Hmm, maybe a solo for you of whatever song you want to sing or maybe we could sing a duet or something. I should start planning in advance..."
Mimi smiled and nodded and then went over to Koushirou and Jou, both already nervous.
"Jou-senpai, I'm glad that you're still trying to become a doctor and as smart and dedicated as you are, I'm sure you'll do a great job," Mimi complimented.
She then gave him a kiss on the cheek, which caused the glasses-wearing boy to blush nervously.
"Well...um...I...er...thanks Mimi-kun."
She then smiled and playfully giggled at him.
"It's also nice to see that you aren't allergic to everything anymore," the girl smiled at him.
Mimi then turned towards an already nervous Koushirou.
"Koushirou, I actually miss all of that computer talk of yours that I never understood. Sure it may have annoyed me at times, but that's what makes you, you and it reminds me of all the good times I had with Palmon here in the Digital World."
She gave Koushirou a kiss on the cheek and said, "I'll miss you."
She then turned to everyone and said, "I'll miss you all, especially you cute Digimon!"
The Digimon all did a victory pose and Koushirou blushed so deep a red from the kiss Mimi gave him, that his face was the same color as his hair.
They all stood in front of a set and said good-bye to Mimi. They then went through. Mimi ended up back home in her room.
"I'm back...home...in America."
She turned back to the screen and saw Palmon, which caused Mimi to cry.
******
Koushirou, Jou, Miyako, and Iori ended up back in the Izumi home in
Koushirou's room.
"Wow, what a ride!" Miyako exclaimed.
"Strange how the laptop of Koushirou-san is on as well," Iori pointed out, noticing a gate up on the screen.
"Yeah, a gate from the Digital World opened on my laptop and let me through back home," Koushirou said. "That is strange."
The boy then realized something and got a bit hysterical.
"I DIDN'T END UP CRUSHED!! YAHOO, I DON'T NEED ANY PAIN PILLS THIS TIME!!! YAHOO!!!" the boy exclaimed while cheering, jumping up and down in place. "THAT DESERVES ONE MEGA PROOOOODIGIOUS!!!"
Everyone sweat dropped from his outburst and looked at Koushirou like he was, well, crazy.
"Oh-kay," Iori said while giving his mentor a look.
"Um...sorry," Koushirou meekly laughed.
"Look, guys," Jou said while looking at Iori and Miyako. "Your clothes."
Iori and Miyako noticed what Jou had and that they still had their Digital World clothes on.
"Fascinating," Koushirou said.
"But how is this possible," Miyako asked no one in particular.
"Everyone, look at the screen," Iori pointed.
They then turned back and saw their Digimon waving to them.

Ken ended up back in the room of his home, rather depressed.
He really felt as if he had lost his best friend or another family member.
He then looked at the screen as tears started to fill his eyes.
"Wormmon, you were my best friend..." Ken said, his voice quivering
as if to cry again.

Takeru, Daisuke, and Yamato ended up back in the Elementary school's
computer lab.
"I wonder where Hikari-chan is," Daisuke said while looking around.
"And Sora and Taichi and the others," Yamato asked, looking around like Daisuke. "We all started at Summer Camp."
"Daisuke-kun, look," Takeru pointed.
"Huh," the boy asked.
"Your clothes," Takeru pointed out.
Daisuke noticed that he was wearing his Digital World clothes.
"I wonder how this happened and how come I'm still wearing them. I could never wear them outside of the Digital World before."
They then turned back to the screen and saw their Digimon waving sadly
to them. Gabumon was playing the harmonica. He didn't have
time to learn the song well, but he learned a bit of it. He promised
Yamato, after he tried to teach it to him, that he'd learn it well and
practice so that the next time he see him, he could play it for him.

Hikari, Taichi, and Sora ended up back in Taichi's room.
"Hey, this is my room," Taichi said.
"How in the world did we end up here," Hikari asked.
"All of us older kids were at the Summer Camp where we were first taken to the Digital World," Sora said. "I wonder why we are back here."
They then obliviously looked at the computer screen and saw their Digimon waving to them sadly, Hikari smiling cheerfully.
"I just know we'll see them again," Hikari said in an assuring tone. "It'll be a long time from now, but I know we will and I'm sure it'll be on good terms too and not because of some evil force."
Sora and Taichi gave her a look and shrugged.
Gennai then appeared on the screen of everyone's computer.
"I'm glad I didn't miscalculate like I had thought I had," he said nervously. "I just knew that some of you would've ended up at the North Pole someplace."
"WHAT!!!" everyone shouted.
"Just kidding," Gennai smiled. "It was nice seeing you all again. I just wish that you all could've stayed longer."
Their Digimon once again were shouting out things like, "We'll miss you," and "Good luck" and other things of encouragement. The screen then faded and that was the last they saw of their Digimon, two years earlier.
/Flashback>
Mimi then decided to go back to reading her book since thinking about that day was depressing her. First, she hooked her Digivice back onto the belt on her skirt. She always carried it around with her no matter what. When she finally started reading, she heard a strange noise coming from her bedroom door.
"Who is it?"
"Wouldn't you like to know," the person said in a deep, scary voice.
The girl stood up and got alert.
"Who's there!" Mimi demanded.
She just heard a laugh.
"Daddy, is-is that you," Mimi asked, getting a bit scared.
No one answered.
"This isn't funny," the girl shouted. "Who is there!"
"I know who you are," the voice laughed.
Mimi grabbed a nearby bat she had used when she played on the girls' softball team her freshman year of High School. She wanted to try at least one sport, and tell Sora about it, but one season was enough for her.
"You better identify yourself this instant," Mimi demanded, obvious fear in her voice.
"Maybe I will...maybe I won't," the voice chuckled as if Mimi's being scared was amusing.
"What!"
"Just answer me one thing," the voice said. "Do you like..."
"Do I like what," Mimi asked cautiously.
"Scary movies?"
"WHAT!?!"
"Do you like scary movies," the voice asked again.
"That does it," Mimi said, growing frustrated and annoyed. "I am not going to stand for this!"
Mimi opened the door, about to swing the bat, but stopped swinging midway, letting out a gasp, surprised at whom the person was she had almost hit...
