NKC: I may prefer the second season of Digimon, but, like a true fan, I have tried my hardest to get into season 3.

Patamon: Traitor!!!

NKC: Then CITV decided to stop showing it in favour of "Sitting Ducks" *gags*. I really need to get digital, or sky. Maybe even cable. One problem. My dad hates sky, my mum hates cable, and we can't afford digital *sigh*. Maybe I'm cursed or something?

Anyway, Read and Review and have fun.

1 Renamon's Past

1.1.1 Prologue



Maybe Rika's right. Renamon thought, Maybe Digimon are just programmes.

It was an overcast and rainy day, and Renamon found herself walking through an empty park. Not a human in sight. It was a relief to get out in the open every now and again, but the weather was just terrible. Renamon was soaked to the bone, her fur so sodden it was clenching to her skin.

No. She can't be right.

Renamon continued to walk, ignoring the weather. She was too wet to care, and her depressing thoughts and contemplations weren't making her feel much better.

"I have to cheer up for once." She thought out loud, "But if I'm not real, then I can't."

How do you know you're not real? A little voice in the back of her head asked, Hm?

"If I were real, then I would have feelings. I would have parents and a past. I have none of these."

If you don't have feelings, why are you so sorry for yourself?

Renamon had to think about that one, but no answer came.

As she turned the corner towards a large marble statue, a small shiny object, no larger than a penny, caught her eye. She walked towards it, filled with curiosity. As Renamon looked over it, she noticed that it had a symbol embossed on it. It looked like two Digimon that she had not seen before.

"What's a coin with two Digimon on it doing in a human park?" she asked nobody.

Gently, she grasped it in one of her paws, bringing it up to eye level. Now she could see the picture in more detail. In-between the two Digimon there was a small, almost round object. It was an egg.

"A Digimon family?"

Renamon closed her fist around the tiny object, a rush of emotion washed over her. She closed her eyes, as a small tear fell down her cheek, and to the ground.

"So Digimon can have parents."

Just as that spoken thought crossed her lips, there was a bright flash of light. Renamon closed her eyes, dazzled by the intensity of the glow. Slowly, it dimmed down. Renamon reopened her eyes and looked around.

"Where am I?" She questioned, noticing the scenery around her had changed slightly. She was still stood on the same path, or so she thought; only objects that had been nearby were gone. The statue had gone. Some of the trees were missing. And there were humans nearby.

At least it's stopped raining. Renamon thought. She opened her hand to check that the small coin or medallion, or whatever it was, was still there.

You aren't an ordinary coin, are you?

"Mummy! Look!" a small child cried upon seeing Renamon.

Renamon spun around in alarm. She had been too deep in thought to realise that she could have been seen. She prepared to make an escape attempt before the humans could reach her. Before she could even attempt to flee, the small child was had his arms around Renamon.

1.2 What the…

The child's mother soon caught up, "I'm terribly sorry." The woman apologised, "He wanted so much to see you."

Renamon was more than confused by the actions of this child and it's parent.

"Do you mind if we have a photo?" The woman asked.

Without thinking Renamon nodded, still trying to work out the situation. The next thing she heard was the click of a camera.

"Thank you." The woman said gratefully. She then spoke to the little boy, "Come on, let's leave the person in the costume alone. They have to go see the other little children."

They think I'm a person dressed up? Renamon laughed inwardly.

The small child released Renamon and returned to his mother's side, "Bye bye." He waved as they left.

Renamon didn't speak, but she waved to the boy.

Wherever I am, they either don't know about Digimon, or aren't scared.

Renamon began walking. She didn't have any idea where she was, but she knew that she had to find out.

1.3 This place is very familiar, but where is it? Where am I?

Continuing along the path she was on, she came to a small wooded area, but the sound of a human city was clearly audible over the twittering birds.

"Could I still be in the park?" She considered, "No. It's not the same."

Quickly making up her mind, she plunged into the trees, following the sounds of civilisation. After a hundred meters or so, Renamon found that she had to stop. A six-foot metal fence obstructed her. Looking through the gaps between the bars, she found that she was indeed in the city. The Tokyo tower was clearly visible, but something else caught her attention.

"Where are the sky-scrapers? Half of them are missing?"

With practiced ease, Renamon scaled the fence with one hefty leap, and landed gently on the other side.

1.4 I must find the others, but how?

Renamon looked from left to right, as she considered her course of action. Something caught her eye. It was a small animal. For a moment it stopped and looked at Renamon, a puzzled look crossed it's face, before it headed into an alleyway. Renamon decided to follow the creature, curious about it's inquisitiveness towards herself. No creature that had seen her before had given her more than a second glance, but she knew that this one was different. Renamon felt as if she were drawn towards it.

Without any further hesitation she broke into a run, reaching the alley in mere seconds, catching a fleeting glance of the creature as it turned a corner. The chase was on, and Renamon wanted answers.

NKC: Well, there's a very short, very rushed prologue to an idea I had. Hope you enjoy it, and I hope I actually get around to completing it one day.

Patamon: HA!

NKC: anyway, please leave a review, and go do whatever it is you wanna do now (like it's any of my business), but just remember:

"Never, ever be afraid to try. You never know just what you may achieve."

For anyone else doing their GCSE's or any other exams. Good luck.
