A/N: Welcome! This chapter is just to introduce the change of events that sets up my story. The Kokomon/Lopmon in this story is neither Willis's nor Suzie's, but just a different Lopmon.

It was a beautiful, clear night in Japan. There was adventure and excitement in the air, and something very exciting was happening on a street outside an apartment building in Odaiba. A huge dinosaur and an equally huge parrot were fighting each other. Many children were watching the battle from their windows, and a boy and his younger sister were down on the ground, in the middle of the action.

The dinosaur – Greymon – fell to the ground, right next to where the brother and sister, Taichi and Hikari, were standing.

"Oh, no, Taichi, he's hurt!" Hikari cried. "Greymon, get up!"

"Greymon . . . he's coming!" said Taichi.

To wake Greymon, Hikari tried to blow the whistle she wore around her neck. She couldn't; she was sobbing too hard.

"It worked on me . . ." said Taichi. He took the whistle and blew as long and loud as he could.

Greymon's eyes opened. Standing up, he attacked his opponent, Parrotmon, once more. As he did this, a blinding white light came from the sky and engulfed them both.

Parrotmon and Greymon disappeared. As the kids watched, ten glowing balls floated out of the light, and then it faded. Six of the glowing balls, which were actually Digimon, floated to kids who had been watching the battle. In this way, Yokomon, Motimon, Tanemon, Bukamon, Tsunomon, and Tokomon met their partners for the first time.

One of the balls floated down to Taichi. "Koromon!" he exclaimed. "You're back!"

"Huh?" said Koromon. "How do you know my name?"

"Wasn't that you, in the battle just now? As Greymon?"

"No, that was another Digimon. But it's all right now. I'm going to be your partner, Taichi!"

"Really? Why me?"

"Well . . . because!"

"Oh. Well, come on, Hikari. Let's go home." They walked back into the building, Taichi carrying Koromon.

The other three Digimon who were now in the real world – Minomon, Kokomon and Poromon – were not fated to be the partners of any of the children present. They were there to be friends and have fun with Yamato, Takeru, and their Digimon. They floated through the brothers' open window. Takeru, the younger brother, was the first to see them. "Look!"

"Wow, more of them!" said Yamato. The brothers ran over to the new arrivals.

"Hi!" said Takeru. "Who are you?"

"I'm Kokomon," said the rubbery pink Digimon.

"I'm Poromon," said the birdlike one.

"And I'm Minomon," said the insectoid one.

"It's nice to meet you," said Yamato. "My name is Yamato, and this is my partner, Tsunomon."

"I'm Takeru," said the younger brother, "and my partner here is Tokomon."

"What are all of you?" Yamato asked.

"We're Digital Monsters!" they all said together.

"Or just 'Digimon,'" added Tsunomon.

"So, are all of you going to live with us now?" said Takeru.

"Yes," said Poromon. "We're going to have so much fun together!"

"We can start having fun tomorrow," said Yamato. "Right now, we should go to bed."

"Aw, onii-san . . ." Takeru said. "Okay. Let's go, everyone."

The brothers went back to their room, followed by all their newfound friends.
