It was a Saturday morning when Ashi Matsu's life changed.

The morning was normal as ever he woke up and got dressed into a white t-shirt, blue leans and black trainers with a green stripy shirt over his white t-shirt and his trademark red bandana.

Ashi left his room and walked into the kitchen to find a note on the counter.

Dear Ashi

I have taken your sister to see dad so I wont be back till 2.

Lots of love

Mum.

He scrunched up the note and threw it down on the floor.

He never forgave his father for leaving him so didn't wont anything to do with him what so ever.

Ashi cooled down as he ate his break feast on his sofa watching TV, and that's when it all started.

The TV's picture became all fuzzy.

"Oh come on," Ashi shouted at the TV as he moved the aerial about to get the picture back.

Then the phone rang, so Ashi ran to it picking it up. "Hello" he said into it

"what the hell" the phone was still ringing when it was off the holster.

He slammed it back down and as he walked back to the TV lights started flickering.

All the things in the kitchen were to going stupid. The cooker was humming, the microwave was glowing and the kettle clicking.

"WHATS GOING ON" Ashi shouted and then he noticed that everything was going mad except his computer.

He walked over to it and as he did the screen started to fill up with ones and zeros.

Ashi was totally confused now and was getting really frustrated.

He lifted his fist ready to punch the screen. As his fist came down a bright gleam of light stunned him.

he fell to the floor only able to see light and out lines of a pager like device.

The device be more clear and Ashi could now see it was hovering to him.

It fell into his hand and as it did everything instantly just returned to normal.

Ashi stared at the strange device that just flew out his computer screen.

He didn't know it yet but it was a digivice. It looked a bit like the first digivices but with more buttons.

Ashi pressed one of the buttons but nothing happened.

"This isn't happening it must be a prank. Like that TV programme"

he said desperately and pushed all the buttons.

"Maybe if I do this" he said to himself and pressed all the buttons at once.

"Or maybe not". He went back into his bedroom and placed his digivice on his bed.

"That was weird. I heard about something like this once on the Internet" he sat on his bed and tried to remember.

"It said something about monsters and computers. Devices that does something to the monsters, made them

nice and friendly. I can't remember, anyway it was only just a rumour, but still it would be cool if I got a monster

that become my friend". Ashi hasn't ever had a friend

before since he's always being moving from place to place because of his mom's job. The only other kid he

knows is his sister and she doesn't like him much either.

He spends nearly all his time alone. He tries to blend in and make friends but no one ever seems to like him,

which made his confidence rather low. "I wish I had a friend" and as he said that the digivice next to him

started to glow. Ashi stood up and stared at the growing light. The light faded a bit and a brown ball with a large

horn on its head jumped out of the digivice right into Ashi's arms. "Hi" it said in a high voice. "Ah" Ashi

shouted throwing the monster on the bed. "What's

wrong"? The monster said. Ashi stood pointing at the monster terrified "What are you"? He said shakily. "Im

Tsunomon a digimon" it said smiling at Ashi.

"Tsunomon, a digimon"? Ashi was starting to calm down.

"Yep" Tsunomon said still smiling "and im your partner digimon". Ashi got closer slowly and eventually sat next

to Tsunomon on the bed. "Partner"? Tsunomon jumped into Ashi lap. "You humans do ask a lot of question

don't you". Ashi laughed and finally realised that Tsunomon wasn't a fret but a friend. Tsunomon told

Ashi everything he knew about the digital world and all

the digimon their but then he turned a bit sad. "The digital world sounds great Tsunomon, hey what's

wrong?"

"I just realised I might not be able to get back" Ashi's hands picked Tsunomon up.

"Don't worry I promise I'll get you home" they smiled at each other, but it was soon interrupted by the front door

banging.

"Ashi im home" his mom shouted, coming to his room.

"Oh no its my mum. You gotta hide" he looked around

quickly and then saw the door handle move. "Under here" Ashi grabbed Tsunomon and place him under his

bed just as the door opened. "Oh hi mom, home all ready" he said smiling. She looked a bit curious on what

was happening since Ashi was usually unhappy and not really talkative. "Urm, hello dear your sister will be

staying with your dad for a couple days" she said then

closed the door. "You can come out now" Tsunomon hoped from under the bed looking a bit red. "What's that

smell" Ashi said looking at the red Tsunomon. "Sorry" replied the Tsunomon.
