Chapter One- Boy meets Girl



The sun was setting on Odaiba school as Izzy and a young girl walked into the computer

room.

"And this, is the computer room," Izzy said. "I used to be in the computer club when I

went to school here."

The rays of light coming through the window reflected on her grey eyes as she looked

around at all the computers. She had long brown hair tied back with a bow and had on a green

school uniform like Izzy's.

"This computer lab is a lot bigger than the one in my old school" she said in her soft voice.

But as she looked around she saw a strange light coming from one of the computers. It

glowed blue and it was getting brighter.

"Izzy what's that? Is it a computer game?"

Izzy looked over at the computer and saw that the digiport was about to open. His face became panic stricken and he tried to rush her out of the room.

"Um, hey why don't we go to the library, it's right this way."

"No, I want to take a closer look at this computer." Before Izzy could push her out the door, the digiport opened and five children and five digimon fell out onto the floor.

The girl was stunned at what she saw. A pile of humans and strange looking animals had just tumbled out of a computer screen before her eyes!

"Izzy, is that a hologram?" she asked.

Suddenly a boy with brown hair and goggles stood up. He took a step towards her and shouted,

"Hey we're no holograms we're kids!"

"Davis shut up!" said a girl with long pinkish purplish hair and a bandana. She stood up and grabbed his shoulder. She glanced up at this girl she had never seen before, and saw she had quite a puzzled look on her face.

"Oh eh.. hi my name is Yolei Inoue, and this is Davis Motomiya. I think maybe we're

going to have to explain a few things to you." Yolei laughed nervously and scratched the back of her head.

Izzy's eyes darted back and forth between the Digidestined and his new acquaintance.

"Oh, guys this is Jesi Junryou, she's a new student in my grade. And these are my friends,

Davis and Yolei, and they're TK, Kari and Cody," he chimed in.

But just as Izzy was talking, Jesi ran over to the small in-training form Digimon she spotted sitting on the floor.

She picked up Demiveemon and looked at him.

"Oh these are the most amazing toys! They're so cute!" she said with delight.

"You're cute too." said Demiveemon.

"Oh and they can talk too! But how did you all come out of that computer?"

"Well," said Izzy. He pondered for a moment whether or not he should tell her about the digimon and the digital world, but considering Demiveemon has just ruined the whole stuffed animal excuse, he decided to go for it. "The thing is, they aren't toys, they're digimon."

"Digimon?"

They all sat down in the computer lab and Izzy explained the basics about Digimon. He talked all about the digital world, digivolving, and informed Jesi of the battle with Diaboromon that had taken place a few years earlier on the internet. Jesi was very amazed by the whole thing and when Izzy was finished she asked,

"Izzy, do you think I could go to the Digiworld with you?"

The Digidestined looked at each other for a minute and walked to the other side of the

room. They got into a huddle and began discussing the situation.

"Do you think we should let her?" said TK.

"We shouldn't let any strangers just wander into the digital world," the ever wary Cody responded.

"She already knows about the Digimon so what harm could there be in bringing her to see

it?" Kari said.

They went back over to the other side of the room where Jesi and Izzy were waiting. Yolei walked up and addressed her.

"You can come to the Digiworld with us as long as you promise not to tell anyone about

it, not even your parents. But I suppose they probably wouldn't believe you anyway. Oh and one other thing, there is a possibility you would be able to enter the digital world."

"But, why not?"

"Well you see, not just anyone can enter the Digital world," Izzy responded. "You usually need to have a digivice, and I don't know of anyone going into the digital world without having one."

Jesi sighed and looked down at the ground.

"But there's no harm in trying." Kari smiled and placed a hand on Jesi's shoulder. Jesi looked up at Kari and nodded happily.

She was delighted that they had decided to let her come. What a wonderful experience, to see a new world with new friends.

They walked up to the computer screen and Davis held his Digivice up to it.

"Digiport open!" As he said this, the computer screen lit up again and they were all

transported to the Digiworld. Izzy stayed behind in the computer room, as usual.

"Well there they go again."





"Spiking Strike!" yelled Stingmon as he destroyed another control spire.

"Good job Stingmon, you should take a break now."

"Thanks Ken." said Stingmon as he started to change back into Wormmon. When he was finished de-digivolving, Wormmon crawled over and sat by his friend's side.

Ken stood on a rock and overlooked the landscape of the Digiworld. The sun was setting

in the Digiworld as well as the real world, and it caused everything to have an orangy glow.

"The Digital world is a beautiful place Wormmon. It's hard to believe a few days ago this

whole field was filled with control spires..." Ken trailed off.

"Don't get depressed again Ken." Wormmon said. He leaned against Ken's leg to try and comfort him and remind him they would always be there for each other.

Ken sighed as he sat down on the rock, placing Wormmon in his lap, and continued to watch the Digital sunset.



Across the forest, the other Digidestined had entered the Digiworld through a small TV screen. To their surprise, Jesi was still at their side.

Jesi's eyes were sparkling with happiness. She looked down at herself to make sure she was really there.

"I can't believe it, it actually worked!" Yolei said.

"Isn't this wonderful?" Jesi said happily. She gazed at the multicolored landscape unfolding around her. "Maybe I was meant to be here," she said to herself.

The group of six preceded to walk through the forest.

"Everything here is so lovely, it's a lot like earth too." Jesi said as she looked around the

forest. She walked next to Kari, who she had immediate felt a close bond with, like she knew they were going to become good friends.

"It is nice," said Kari. "I never really have much time to appreciate it."

"Why is that?"

"Well, there are these two evil Digimon named Arukenimon and Mummymon that we've

been having some problems with. They make digimon out of control spires and then attack us

with them."

"What's a control spire?" Jesi inquired.

"Well they're, hey that's one right there!" Kari pointed up at a large black tower. It rose up out of the ground like a skyscraper in the middle of a field of daisies.

Above them, Ken was still perched on the rock he had been on, looking out at the control spire field.

"Hey look there's Ken!" said Davis. "Hey Ken how's it goin?"

Ken turned around and saw the Digidestined. He smiled at his friend Davis. Ken stepped

down off the rock and walked over towards them.

"Hi Davis I was just--" Ken stopped short when she saw the pretty young girl who was

with the Digidestined. For some reason, she was the most wonderful thing he had looked upon for as long as he could remember.

Jesi stepped back and gasped at the sight of this dark but beautiful boy. He was tall and slim, with pale skin and navy blue hair. She was as hypnotized by Ken as Ken had become by her. As they looked into each other's eyes, the whole digital world seemed to disappear and all they could see was each other.

"Uh.. Hey Ken are you sick or something?" Davis interrupted.

"Ken this is Jesi Junryou, and Jesi this is another Digidestined Ken Ichijouji." Yolei said.

Jesi was mesmerized and only returned to reality when she heard his name.

"You're...Ken Ichijouji? Ken Ichijouji the boy genius?" she said, stumbling over her words.

"Well... I wouldn't call myself a genius," Ken looked down and blushed as he spoke.

"I saw you on TV once," she said. "I never thought I'd meet you."

Ken looked up again because he couldn't take his eyes off of this young stranger. From deep within him, he got a sudden urge, unlike anything he had ever felt before, and to Jesi's surprise he took her hand in his.

"Would you like me to show you some of the Digital world?"

Her eyes were opened as wide as saucers, and her face flushed red. In spite of this sudden feeling of attraction she felt, she managed to reply.

"I'd, love that." she said.

"Hey yeah, Ken where were you planning on going?" Davis said.

"Davis!" TK whispered as he turned Davis away. "Can't you see they want to be alone?"

"Alone, why? Wait, you don't mean Ken, and her, and You don't think Ken likes her do

you?"

"Can't you tell?" TK said to Davis. Then he turned back to the others. "Hey guys, why

don't we all go...uh... destroy some more control spires for now?"

Kari looked back and forth between Ken and Jesi and quickly caught on to what TK was suggesting. "Yeah that sounds like a good idea, right Davis?"

"Yes Kari, whatever you say," Davis said, feeling his knees go weak. He was such a sucker for Kari.

"Do you think we can trust her to be alone with Ken?" Cody said, eyeing their former enemy uneasily.

"Cody, you need to have more trust in Ken," Kari said. "He's one of us now. They'll be

fine."

The Digidestined and their digimon walked off to the field of control spires and began

with their work.



Ken and Jesi walked up to the rock where Wormmon was waiting. Ken suddenly realized he was still holding Jesi's hand and quickly let go, blushing furiously.

"Ken who is your friend?" asked Wormmon.

"Wormmon this is Jesi Junryou. She came here with the others."

"Pleased to meet you," Jesi said, and bowed politely to Wormmon.

"Pleased to meet you too," Wormmon answered, but then added, "Is she a Digidestined too, Ken?"

"No, just a visitor."

Just then an idea came to Jesi. She turned to Ken.

"Ken do you think I could be a Digidestined like you?"

Ken thought about that for a moment. He knew there were other Digidestined around the

world, what if she was one too?

"If you are you would have your own digimon. But maybe, maybe you haven't found it

yet."

"I hope I find my own digimon some day." she said hopefully.

Ken stood beside Jesi and they looked out at the digital world. He felt different around her than he had ever felt before, like a piece of his heart that had been emptied of all feeling was filling up again.

But then Ken noticed some commotion going on in the distance. The Digidestined were fighting something, but he couldn't make out what.

"Arukenimon must have gotten at another control spire!" Ken said, clenching his fist. "Stay right here, I'll be back. Come on Wormmon."

Wormmon digivolved into Stingmon and Ken climbed on his back. They flew off towards

the Digidestined to help them fight, leaving Jesi all alone.

She sat down on the rock and watched Ken fly away. She didn't notice the two figures

lurking in the trees behind her.

"Who could that be? A new Digidestined?" Mummymon said to Arukenimon.

"Well we can always find out." Arukenimon said. She grinned evilly and motioned

Mummymon to follow her.

Jesi heard a rustling in the bushes and turned to see what was causing it, but by the time she saw the two evil digimon it was too late. Arukenimon covered Jesi's mouth and dragged her over to their jeep. She threw her over the side and Jesi landed in the backseat with a thud.

Arukenimon and Mummymon hopped into the two front seats.

"Mummymon, lets go."

"Anything for you my love!"

Mummymon started the jeep as fast as fast as lighting and the jeep began driving away into the desert.

"Mummymon!? You must be the evil digimon Kari told me about! Let me go!" Jesi

shouted. She sat up in the seat and glared at them.

"We don't have to do anything of the sort," Arukenimon said.

"If you don't let me go right now the Digidestined will come looking for me and find you!"

"That's exactly what I'm hoping for."
