(A/N I don't own digimon, I haven't wrote fan fiction for awhile... Please R/R)

It was like any other typical day. All of the DigiDestined gathered in the Joe's dorm room, it had been years since they all got together. Younger digidestine were in high school, Yolei was a senior . The older DigiDestined came to see their digimon partners, it had been awhile since they saw their digimon.

"Ready?" Davis asked with Demiveemon trying to bounce out of his arms. All of the new DigiDestine nodded their heads yes, apart from Yolei. She did not look like herself at all, Poromon looked at her confused. "Yolei?" Davis wondered what was up. Poromon snuggled up to her partner.

"Go on without me. I'll stay here." Yolei acted like she shooed them away.

"Yolei, something is wrong" The digimon whispered to her partner, and was it right. The other new digidestine opened the port to the digital world.

"We'll be back soon!" Kari yelled back to Yolei and the older Digidestine. Yolei worked hard to smile at her friend, it was a struggle. Less than a minute later all of the new digidestine waved back to the others with the old digimon partners waving to their digimon.

"It was nice to see Agumon again." Tai commented, while the other older digidestine nodded in agreement. Gomamon waved back at Joe happily through the port.

"Joe!" He was waving both of his front flippers at Joe. He waved back to his digimon partner. Matt looked down at his phone.

"Hey, I've got band practice. Bye Gabumon!" Matt waved back excitedly at his partner. "We'll be united soon old buddy." The other old digidestine left to go to other task like homework or practice. Joe, Yolei and Poromon were the only ones left in the room. His attention went immediately to Yolei, considering she always opens the gate to the digital world.

"Yolei?" Joe walked closer to the girl, she looked pretty ill at this point. Yolei glanced up at him.

"I don't feel so good." With that she hit the floor rather hard. Joe tried to rush to catch her head before it hit the ground. Successfully he caught her head but nothing else. The purple haired girl was out, Joe didn't know what to do. So he dug out his phone and called up his father.

'I hope father picks up.' He thought as the phone was ringing. On the last ring his father picked up. Joe quickly explained what was going on; his father was giving rushed directions to Joe. He checked her airways and pulse. Her pulse was slower than normal. As per his father's instructions, he placed her gently into his arms and carried her into the hospital which wasn't even a block away.

"Poromon, please stay here. She'll be ok. I promise." The little digimon nodded, it wasn't so sure what was going on but it was bad. With that, he walked her to the hospital. Yolei looked limp in Joe's arms.

'I hope she'll be ok..' He walked into the hospital's doors with his father waiting there for him.

"Dad?" Joe was confused, he didn't think his dad was on call today.

"Joe, you need to place her on the gurney." He did as he was instructed. "Do you want to come with her?" He nodded, with that Joe followed the gurney while holding to the limp hand of Yolei. His cheeks blazed red for a moment, until his medical training kicked in. Her gurney burst through the doors of the ER, machines and instruments surrounded her. "Joe, do you know any medical information about her?" The answer barely escaped his lips.

"None." Joe replied. He sighed, this crush he had for Yolei developed slowly but hit him like a ton of bricks all of a sudden. His medical training was trying to fight through to help the other doctors, but this crush was just too hard. Quickly the doctor's stabilized her and got all of the tests done. Privately Joe was thinking to himself.

'Yolei, please be ok. This is something more than some virus.' Joe started to fiddle with Yolei's hand, slowly her eyes fluttered open.

"Where am I?" Joe was so engrossed in his own mind that he barely heard her. Again she asked in a louder voice, "Where am I?" That time it snapped Joe out of his thoughts.

"The hospital, Yolei, you blacked out in my dorm room. Poromon is safe there." He responded to her next question before she even asked it. She looked down at her hands, one was held by Joe's soft hand and the other was palm down with IVs coming out of the back. Yolei actually HATED needles with a fiery passion. Quickly she looked at Joe with a look of concern. "What's wrong, Yolei?" With her eyes she led Joe's eyes to the IV in the back of her hand.

"I hate needles." Yolei refused to look at her left hand where the IV was located. Joe patted the hand he was holding.

"A lot of people do, but it's going to help-" He was cut off with his father opening the curtain where the two where located.

"Hi, I'm Doctor Kido. I'm Joe's father." He made the connection before Yolei had time to really think about it. "We got your test results." Joe looked at his father who had a look of concern on his face, a look he's seen many times before.

"What are the results?" Yolei was getting anxious, hospitals gave her goose bumps. Joe held her hand tighter. Doctor Kido wiped his glasses and took a heavy breath. Yolei had a tighter grasp on Joe's hand as well.

"Leukemia"
