Chapter 1: Waking Up


The digidestineds gang was crunched into two cars; Joe driving one, Tai the other. It had been two years since they had all been together, and they thought it was about time for a reunion. After much arguing and discussion, it was decided that they would go camping up in the woods.

The trip started out a little frantic…

"Tai, wake up!"

"Tai!!!"

"Ugh, what is it Kari?" Tai opened his eyes with immediate annoyance at being woken up.

"Tai, it's almost 7 o'clock. We're suppose to pick Tk, Matt, Mimi and Sora up at 7:30."

"What?"

Kari gave him an annoyed glare from where she stood, "C'mon Tai, you can't be that stupid. Remember we're going camping."

"What?" Suddenly remembering the trip, Tai threw the covers off of him and stood up. "Holy shit, why didn't you wake me earlier?"

"I did, and you said you were up. That was an hour ago."

"Kari, you're never supposed to believe what I say in the mornings."

"Tai, don't blame this on me," she flung her arm in the air dramatically and left the room.

Tai grabbed his clothes, and ran to the shower.


Ring, Ring

"Hello, Tk speaking."

"Hi Tk, it's Kari."

"What's up, Kari?"

"Well Tai, just got up, so we might be a little late."

"Oh, that's ok. I bet Sora will be pissed, though."

Kari laughed at his comment, "Yeah, do you think you could call for me."

"Sure, but why can't you?"

"I'm a little busy."

Tk's interest was peaked, "With what?"

"It's a secret."

"C'mon Kari, you can tell me."

She teased him with a dignified voice, "Mr. Takaishi you need to learn to be patient."

Tk responded in the same manor, "Miss Kamiya, I don't understand why you can't tell me."

Kari returned to her sweet voice, "It's a present." She hung up the phone.

Tk heard the beep and turned off the phone himself. It wasn't like Kari to be so secretive. O'well he'd find out eventually.

"Who was that?" Matt had just come out of the shower a towel wrapped around his waist and his hair clenching to his face.

"Lucky for you, you'll have time to blow dry your hair because Tai's running late."

"Yeah I was worrying I might not have time to blow dry my—HEY! WAS THAT SUPPOSE TO BE AN INSULT?" Tk started laughing hysterically at his brothers dullness, Matt somewhat insulted chased Tk down and placed him in a headlock. Playfully he threatened, "I'm going to give you a noogie for that and then your hair is going to be so messed up for your girlfriend."

Tk's cheeks turned bright red and he broke the hold Matt had on his neck. In a sweeping motion he flipped him around causing him fly in the air and land with his back on the ground. He looked up shocked at his little brother's actions, "What's the big problem?"

"Kari's not my girlfriend!"

Matt defensively sat up pulling himself to his feet, "I never said anything about Kari." Realizing he had fallen into the trap, Tk angrily stocked off to his room, slamming the door behind him.

Matt watched him go concern on his face. Then he lifted his arm to support his now sore back, "Since when did he get so strong?"
