Notes: I decided to take a break from writing anything serious. I'm having trouble with plot. But I have something special planned for my next digimon stories. Instead, here's just me messing around. If you still don't know who Ixen is, read just the first chapter of 'Crest of Infinity' and you'll be set. Another thing is that I don't own Digimon. The songs either. In this chapter, it's 'Daybreak' by Wada Kouji.

~INVITATION~

Hey Everybody! It's been a while but I've decided; I'm holding a special event. Now don't look at me like that, guys. I'm serious! This'll be fun. For me, and maybe for you too. Meet me at the rebuilt Fuji TV station in half an hour. Don't be late! ~Ixen & Infinimon DBM

~IXEN~

What could I have in store this time? Well, everyone would just have to wait, wouldn't they? I rushed around the station with a mission.

"Is the stage set up? Are the soundtracks alright? Don't fail me now! Infinimon, move them into the green room. Where's my mug of tea? I want three cameras capturing the stage in different angles. Get a camera into the green room! Mr. Ishida, what are you doing here?"

The adult had enough of my antics and pulled me to a stop. "Can you explain to me why the digimon and kids are here?"

I nervously smiled at them all. "Yo?"

Taichi crossed his arms. "This isn't funny, Ixen. That e-mail was awfully rushed."

I nodded and was dropped to my feet. "Don't worry about it. This is special!" I checked the time and bugged out. "All of you to the green room! Taichi! I want you ready to be on stage when I'm done!"

"Done with what?" I was already running towards the stage with Infinimon.

I took off my goggles and baseball cap. I looked down at my suit and fixed my hair. I put on a headset and tested the microphone. "Hello? Infinimon, can you hear me? How do I look?"

Infinimon clipped a small mike to his armor. "Perfect." He approached me and looked me over. "But hang on." He straightened my clothes and fixed my collar. "Your hair is still a mess."

I quickly grew tired of this. I tried to break free. "I'm fine. I'm fine!" I nervously hurried onto the stage with Infinimon still trying to fix my appearance. "I don't need you acting so motherly."

"Just hold on for a second." He pulled off my card cases and I was embarrassed that I still had that on.

"Thanks."

Mr. Ishida smiled and took his seat behind a camera. "And we're live in five, four, three… two…" He pointed at me and I quickly took my cue to start.

"Welcome everyone!" I winked at the camera in front of me. Taichi and the others could see me from the green room. "I'm your host, Ixen…"

"…and Infinimon!" Infinimon waved beside me. "Today is a great day because…"

"…this is the day a few people went on a great adventure to a fantastic world!" I jumped up for emphasis. "On this day, August first, a group of elementary school students were able to travel to the Digital World for the first time. There…"

"…they met fantastic digimon, like me. We were able to become friends."

I laughed cheerfully. I could imagine Hikari and Takeru thinking that I lost it, but it didn't matter. "Today, we're going to commemorate our adventures with this performance show by the Digidestined themselves!" I paused and smiled softly. "Starting with my first character song 'Daybreak'."

Infinimon bowed and left the stage. He started the disk with the song and I listened to it intensely. I took a deep breath and imagined the others' expressions. Taichi had arrived to the stage and was still wondering what I was up to. I smirked and started.

The hot wind is lighting a fire and the horizon is wavering. Never-ending miracles are faraway. There's not only one truth so draw the shape of your dream as your own parabola.

I looked beyond the bright lights that were blinding me. The fire burned in my heart as I was taking a huge risk in running this show.

I'll raise my voice and yell out your name, without hesitation, with no grief; I can only see hope.

I thought I could feel Takeru smile. These were the feelings he had about continuing. Neither of us would yield to the enemy. But the difference was that I was the one willing enough to actually call out for the Light and lose it if I have to.

The dawn is coming; it's time to fly away. Power is flowing from my clenched fist. The dawn is coming; it's time to start. I'm wavering because of you, Daybreak.

I clenched my fists and stood tall. This was no time to be second guessing myself. Infinimon and I worked too hard for me to just give up now.

Across from the place we have to get to, the moon has come out in the sky like a bright dance. If you fall down and stand up, you'll become stronger. Unforgettable memories settle in my heart.

I remembered all of the things I could never forget. Some were good memories and others weren't so great. But I had everyone behind me and I still do. We encouraged each other to do things that we were never capable of before.

It's alright if it's disappointing; you'll still smile. There's no labyrinth without an exit; someday you'll see the light.

That's right. I'm still smiling. There's still light to be shone. You can keep wandering, but you'll end up free one day. I was almost near the end after all.

The sun is rising so start running. The mountain is burning, the river is flowing, and I'll give you the power. The sun is rising so stretch out your heart. It's shining down on you, Daybreak.

I paused for a breath. I looked at Infinimon and gave him a thumb up. This was going better than I had thought. I had doubts too, but I had to push past them. This was leading me towards Infinity; I could feel it. I listened to the invigorating melody. Try harder, Ixen. You have to. There's no time to hesitate anymore.

The dawn is coming; it's time to fly away. Power is flowing from my clenched fist. The dawn is coming; it's time to start. I'm wavering because of you, Daybreak.

I let my breathing calm itself as I listened to the last few notes fade. I jumped up in frenzied excitement. "And with that, it's time to start with the others! It just made me even antsier for the rest of the show!"

Infinimon slightly flinched at my extreme excitement as he climbed on stage. "Um… Ixen, you could at least curb down your happiness. You're a bit scary like that."

I laughed sheepishly. "True enough, I guess. But I can't help it."

Infinimon smiled down at me. "But that's what makes you a great adventurer!"

I blushed. "Speaking of adventurers, it's time for our first guest. He's the team leader. A bit hotheaded sometimes but he always knows what's right. The Bearer of Courage: Taichi Kamiya!"

I smiled at the audience. Infinimon continued for me. "He's a bit tone-deaf so Ixen and I apologize for his performance of 'I'll Turn My Courage into Wings'."

The two of us rushed off stage and I shoved my hapless cousin forward. "Break a leg, Kamiya!"

He blinked at me. "Hey! I never agreed to this!" Infinimon clipped his microphone on him and chuckled.

"You'll do fine, Taichi. We believe in you!"

I went into the green room and everyone had mixed feelings. I shrugged and flipped the microphone off. "I told you all that this would be fun for me. And maybe for you."

Takeru crossed his arms. "This will be embarrassing."

Yamato smiled at me. "But nice surprise, Ixen. Let's see how this turns out."
