Episode 1: "The Start Of Beginnings"

•[Tree-house Hideout, NYC]•

"Aargh... where am I?" The young girl questioned aloud. She glanced around surveying the area with her emerald green eyes.

"You're exactly where you were an hour ago, asleep in the hideout." Said a voice from behind the shadows. The young girl then spoke, "Oh, thanks Mikemon I'm really tired."

The 13 year old girl's name was Emily "Emma" Thompson. She was wearing her usual attire a basic blue t-shirt, common blue jeans, and a small digivice clipped to her pocket. Her long, wavy brown hair was down to her waist. She is a ninth grade student at the public school of Abraham Lincoln High School (ALHS), along with two of her other friends.

"You need to learn to sleep at night, sometimes I worry about you." Said her catlike digimon partner. "I know I just have a lot on my mind right now and I—" said Emma, but Mikemon interrupted "—I know Emma, but you can't fall back on your schoolwork, or your parents could ground you and you wouldn't be able to see our friends." The teenager replied, "I know I just get distracted."

"Well let's just go home, or your parents will start to worry." The digimon partner told her. "Yeah... okay." She replied quietly.

"C'mon hurry before she sees you." The young girl whispered. "Fine, but you should distract her." She then suggested. "Oh fine, Mikemon I'll distract her."

"Hey Mom, I'm home!" Said Emma as behind her back she motioned her friend to hurry up. "Oh, hi sweetie. I'm working on supper and your father will be home in a few minutes, go work on your homework." Her mother responded. "Alright, Mom." Noticing her partner had already snuck past.

She started on her algebra assignment, while her partner decided to take a catnap on her bed. She also worked on an essay for Mr. Kempshi, her history teacher, about why she has had detention twice in the past month. After she was done scowling at how annoying she found her teacher, she started to work on her Japanese homework. Japanese is not required nor even offered at her school, but she wants to go to Japan sometime in the future. So, in order to do this she is taking online classes for it on the side of regular school. In about 35 minutes she completed, and as putting her books away she heard the front door open. "Hello, honey. Where's Emma?" Her mother replied, "Oh she's in her room doing her studies as usual."

Emma went into the living room, "Hey, Dad you still up for basketball tomorrow?" He then responded, "Yep and you're going down!" She quickly shot back, "No way, old man you couldn't beat me in a million years!" He then said, "Well okay. You'd better sit down and start eating if you're done with your studies." She responded as taking her seat, "No worries, I completed a few minutes before you even got here." The family ate a meal of spaghetti and meatballs, mashed potatoes, and green beans. When Emma finished eating her third helping of everything she asked if she could call it a night. Her father jokingly responded, "Well sure. It'll take you extra time to digest all of that."

"Uuuugh I've gotta be able to make this shot if I'm gonna beat Emma in our game tomorrow." A young dark haired boy scowled. "Don't worry I'm sure you'll do fine you're a very good player, Connor." A doglike digimon spoke up. "Oh, Psychemon you startled me and I just want to prove to her I'm tough she thinks I'm weak." He sadly remarked. "Oh no she doesn't she's just competitive you know that." His friend replied. "Maybe you're right we should just head home." Connor responded.

Connor Johnson was his name and he was best friends with Emma. He normally wore a plain white t-shirt with a gray stripe down both sides and black shorts with his digivice clipped to his tan belt. He also has short dark hair and sapphire blue eyes, he was also 13 years of age. He aswell was a student at ALHS. He was in almost all the same classes as Emma, since they were in the same grade.

•[Johnson Household]•

The next morning Connor woke up to Psychemon poking him with his horn. "Hey, Psychemon cut that out." He mumbled slowly waking up. "Oh good you're awake hurry up you don't want to be late for school." His partner said. Connor looked at his clock and yelled, "Oh crap I'm gonna get detention again!"

Connor got ready rapidly and ran out the door with his friend beside him. He met up with also late Emma running beside him. "Oh look little miss perfect is late!" He mocked. "Oh can it, I bet I'll beat you there!" She said competitively as she kept on faster. "No way I'll win for sure!" He said as he quickened his pace.

They both arrived at the same time. And both Psychemon and Mikemon went to the hideout.

•[Mr. Kempshi's Classroom, ALHS]•

Emma normally sat next to Connor during 1st period History, but today neither of them were attending. Instead they were writing a long history essay in detention for tardiness.

They returned to Kempshi's room to retrieve their books, after the period was over. As they were leaving for their next class there was a loud crashing noise. They raced out to see what it was. They found themselves on the basketball court alongside their two partners, who had just arrived.

It turned out to be 4 Mushroomon who had somehow wandered into the human world. Both Emma and Connor shared a look. Neither of them had actually fought in a battle against other digimon. Gennai once had warned them that they might have bad or confused digimon wander into the human world. He said to kill them because digimon actually never die, their data is simply reconfigured in a digiegg and they are reborn in the digital world. They then, sent both their digimon to attack. Psychemon ran straight towards two that were in front of him.

Psychemon leaped forward, "Striped Horn Attack!" and hit the two hard with his horn knocking them to the ground. Mikemon got distracted by his sudden fighting and let herself get hit by both of the others' "Mushroom Mash!" attack. She was a bit taken back then got angry and fought back.

"Nikukyū Punch!" Yelled Mikemon as she lunged forward and jabbed her enemies, which went flying backwards towards the other two Mushroomon.

Then Mikemon signaled Psychemon to finish them all off. "Colored Sparkle!" He screamed as he shocked all four. Then right before all of their eyes the digimon broke up into bits of data and floated back to the digital world. The digidestined and their digimon's gazes followed the data into the sky, they looked bewildered because it was their first time seeing such a thing. However after it disappeared, Emma snapped out of it.

"Way to go, Mikemon!" Emma hollered in excitement. "You did great, Psychemon!" Connor celebrated. "Awe thanks." Both digimon stated.

Later that day...

•[ALHS Basketball Court]•

Emma was wearing a navy blue jersey with the numbers "02" printed in white on the back. Also on the back was her last name resting just above her lucky number. On the front was nothing but on her heart there was the letter "C" for captain in bright blue. For bottoms she was wearing black shorts with the bright blue color in stripes going down each side. Connor was in a dark green jersey with the numbers "07" printed in white on the back along with his last name just above it. On the front he had nothing, besides the lime green "C" for captain on his chest. For bottoms he was wearing the same generic shorts as Emma, but black with lime green stripes down each side.

"See ya on the court Con'." Exclaimed Emma, with a hint of competitiveness. "Yeah good luck." Connor stated back. Emma then nodded at her father who was the coach of Connor's team.

The game started and with a lot of effort, the teams were at a tie. The two friends eyed each other then waited for the whistle. Meanwhile, their digimon silently watched from a tree next to the bleachers.

As the whistle blew both friends ran towards the ball. In the end sadly for Connor, Emma's team won with their sweaty team captain Emma hoisted on the teams shoulders in victory.

Then, Emma and Connor asked their parents if they could go out for awhile. Since it was the weekend, the parents allowed it. Both of them rushed to their treehouse hideout, where their partners were waiting to congratulate them. Connor was a bit bummed at first, but Emma quickly took care of that by making tons of jokes. Later the most important part of her sympathies took place, when they were in private Emma actually hugged him and told him that he put up a good fight and that they will have a rematch soon. That was the real thing that cheered him up so they had a little after party. They had a lot of fun, but in the back of their heads they were worried about the appearance of random digimon in the human world. And even though they both hate to admit it, they are going to have to talk about it soon.
