Calmer of the Storm: Hello! I'm back with that story idea I was talking about…I'm gonna give it a shot. I'll se how this turns out…if ya don't like it, I won't write it! Sound fair? Anyhoo, I'm rather miffed at myself at the moment…I had this great idea for an epilogue for 'Learning to Love again: Revised Edition' but guess what? I forgot it!!! *cries hysterically* But If you really want one…I could try to remember…

Cody: Just get on with the fic

Calmer of the Storm: Okay! By the way, I don't own anything! Okay, yes I do own some things, but let's not get technical here! I don't own anything that has to do with the story, 'cept the plot, and maybe some things that I haven't made up yet…

It was a beautiful morning in Odaiba. The sun was out, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It was basically your stereotypical nice day. It was a July day, and students (the ones who hadn't failed anything) were enjoying summer vacation.

The digidestind, the ones who were still at home, were all getting ready for a day at the beach. They had a spot, one down past the outskirts, where the beach was compiled mostly of rocks. Technically they weren't supposed to be there, but no one really seemed to care. They came here because the water itself was no different, the rocks were large and flat, perfect for a picnic, tanning, cliff-diving, or whatever else one would prefer. The main reason they came here was because of the fact that there were no other people. Either no one knew about it, or they just couldn't care for the craggy coastline.

The only two who weren't able to make it, were Joe and Koushiro. Joe was still at school, though this was a matter of choice. He was studying somewhere in America, and rumours were heard that he had met a girl to whom he had taken a liking to. Koushiro was not in school, but an opportunity had been given to him to work with some of Tokyo University's top technicians, and he immediately jumped at the chance.

Both of them felt bad for not being able to make it, but everyone understood. Some things in life are more important than others.

The smell of eggs and bacon filled the Yagami residence. Hikari was up and about, and she had all of her stuff ready, unlike her older brother, Taichi. Tai, as most called him, was still in bed. He had not even awakened yet.

After eating, Hikari decided that it was time to wake her brother up.

"C'mon Taichi, it's time to wake up. The others will be expecting us soon."

The only response she got was a moan for her brother.

"Seriously Tai, I don't want to have to do this…" she stared down at the sheets below her.

"Go away, Hikari. It's-" he poked his head from the sheets, and glanced at the clock, "Geez Hikari! Why must you bother me at this ungodly hour?"

"Tai, it's 10:30. We're supposed to be at the beach in half an hour."

No response.

"Alright, you made me do this…"

With that, the brunette girl ripped the sheets from her brother, and doused him with the ice cold water, complete with ice cubes, that she had been holding behind her back.

"AHHHHHHHHH!" Taichi shot out of bed.

"Tai, you scream like a girl." she stated flatly.

"That's cold!" he accused, wide-eyed.

Hikari was in the process of exiting the room, and called back over her shoulder. "That was sort of the point. Now get ready. I heard Sora got a new bikini…"

Hikari slammed the door shut just before the pillow hit her head.

A few moments later, Taichi emerged from his room, fully dressed with towel in hand. He already wore his swimming suit, as did his sister. This was to avoid any hassle. Tossing his towel aside, Tai planted himself down at the kitchen table. There, his mother placed in front of him some bacon, eggs, and toast.

Taichi looked at it, and poked it before deciding that it was safe to eat. His mother was quite proud of her cooking, and no one had the heart to tell her that she wasn't as good as she thought she was. But, who could screw up bacon and eggs? He hoped no one could.

"Taichi!" yelled Hikari from the front door.

"Arfds djeor herseree eer r takaer eraerthyb er dkepr!"

"Taichi, sweetie, swallow your food first." said Mrs. Yagami.

He swallowed. "I'm coming, geez! I know you want to see Takeru topless but-" he was cut off by a look from his mother.

"Sorry." he muttered before shovelling the last bit of food in his mouth. He stood up, and placed the plate in the sink, then went to the front door where he was greeted by a glaring Kari. He smirked, and slipped on his shoes, and left the apartment.

At the Takaishi house, things weren't much different, except for the fact that it was the younger this time that was having trouble waking up. Yamato had spent the night, as he knew that his brother would show up late if he were alone. Takeru was almost as hard as Taichi to get out of bed, though Yamato Ishida knew of ways to persuade his brother.

"Let's go, Takeru. I'll drag you out of bed and down to the beach in your boxers if you don't wake up." the older blonde threatened.

"I'd like to see you try." Takeru mumbled.

"And no breakfast."

"Hear the caring in my voice?"

"And I'll make sure that Hikari knows all of your deepest, darkest secrets including the fact that you lo-"

No more words needed to be spoken, as Takeru flew out of bed, and ran into the bathroom. Yamato smirked, and popped a waffle into the toaster.

Finally, the two brothers were also on their way down to the beach.

~*~

Mimi was spending the summer with Sora, so that she could be with her friends. Living in New York didn't give her a chance to see them all that often, so she took all the chances she could get. Sora had a hunch that the girl was more interested in spending time with Yamato than anyone else, but she kept those thoughts to herself.

Sora and Yamato had dated, and that was when Sora clued into her friend's feelings for him. Sora had always been known to be very perceptive, and this scenario was no exception. She noticed that whenever she would talk about her and Yamato's relationship, Mimi would immediately clam up, which us very un-Mimi like. She would also try and change the subject.

Since then, Yamato and Sora had broken up, as they both realized that it would probably be better if they were merely friends (very good ones at that) and they thought that maybe they had accidentally altered the line between friendship and love.

Besides, Sora recently found herself with feelings toward a certain boy with gravity deifying brown hair…

"Sora!!" a shrill voice called out, snapping the redhead from her trance.

"Sorry, I'm coming." She picked up her bags, as she had some food, and headed out.

~*~

Yolei was just gathering a few things from her family store. Her boyfriend, Ken Ichijouji was due to pick her up in a manner of minutes. Grabbing a plastic bad, she shoved the things that she had placed on the counter into it, just in time to look out the door to see Ken's car out the window.

Taking everything, she headed out the door. She stopped to see if she had forgotten anything.

Cody, the youngest of the digidestind, was also in the store with her. Since they lived in the same complex, they were all going together.

Yolei opened the door, and greeted her boyfriend with a quick peck on the cheek. She tossed her things in the back, as Cody was silently crawling into the other side.

~*~

The three of them were the first to arrive, and were followed closely by the brother and sister team of Hikari and Taichi.

"Wow Kari, you actually got him up before noon!" Yolei proclaimed.

She smiled, "There's nothing like a bit of cold water to do the trick."

The others laughed.

Soon after, Sora and Mimi pulled in. The seven of them headed down to the spot.

Hikari laid out the blankets that she had brought, and Yolei and Sora placed out the food.

The sun was out, and the rocks were rather hot, but as long as they were on the blankets, they were fine.

Finally, the two brothers showed up.

"There, now we're all here." Takeru stated with a smile. He was being hopeful.

"Well, not really. Have you forgotten about Daisuke?"

Takeru sweatdropped. "It had to be Hikari who brought it up…" he muttered to himself.

"What's that baby brother? I don't think the rest of us heard that." Matt teased.

"Quiet, or I'll call Davis and tell him to bring Jun along."

Yamato shut up immediately.

After about fifteen minutes, sure enough, the maroon headed boy came bounding across the rocks.

"I'm here!" he announced. The others sweatdropped. He immediately took his place beside Hikari. It was no secret that he had feelings for her, and it also wasn't one that she hadn't any for him. Sometimes they asked her why she didn't pursue him. By no means was he ugly, in fact, he was rather handsome. A lot of girls were actually jealous of the Yagami girl, and were enraged at the fact that she could get so much attention from a guy, and just shrug him off.

There were two reasons for this, one being that she already had her heart set on someone else. The only people oblivious to this were Davis himself, and Takeru, the one who held her heart without even knowing it.

The other reason would be the fact that Hikari saw beyond the childish crush. Yes, she admitted, it was sometimes fun to toy with the boy's heart, and flirting certainly wasn't out of the picture. Sometimes she did it just so she could get a reaction from the blonde, and sometimes just to see Davis tongue-tied. Hikari saw the feelings he had for her, everyone did, but she also saw that all it was was a crush. She knew he'd get over it as soon as someone else walked into his life. Daisuke was a good friend, she wouldn't trade that for the world, yet she didn't see him as boyfriend material. She just couldn't make herself love the hyper childlike manner of the boy. She had to say he was a bit of a lunkhead at times, but that's what made him Davis none the less.

Takeru, on the other hand, was seething with jealousy. He had taken his seat to Hikari's right, as Daisuke had taken the left. The older ones watched with amused looks on their faces, though said nothing.

"So, do we eat now, or do we swim a little bit first?" Sora asked.

"I say we swim a little." Yamato stated.

"You just want to see M-" Takeru was cut off when his older sibling brutally attacked him.

"I think that's a good idea." Yolei stated.

Everyone was already in their swimming things, so it was just a matter of taking clothes off. Taichi was the first to do so, and was barley seen as he tore across the rocks and plunged into the ocean. Yamato wasn't far behind him. Hikari stood up, and walked back to the van, followed closely by TK, then Daisuke.

Sora shook her head. "Those three…"

"I wonder when they'll finally figure it out. I mean, the only ones who haven't are them themselves." Yolei stated.

"Who cares? It's fun to watch." Ken said, before he too leaped into the water.

Mimi and Yolei laid themselves out on the rocks, while Sora just sat there. Neither of them really had any need to be in the water. However, some of the others thought differently.

Pulling himself up out of the water, Taichi wore an evil grin. He quickly wiped it away and casually walked over to where the girls were sitting.

"You girls gonna join us?" he asked.

"Not yet." Sora replied.

"Oh. Well then."

Without warning, the boy quickly picked up the redhead girl, who screamed in protest.

"TAICHI YAGAMI! YOU PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!" she yelled.

"If you insist…" with that, the boy dropped her into the water.

She emerged moments later with a dreadful look on her face, and if looks could kill, Taichi would have been long gone.

"YOU'RE DEAD YAGAMI!" She threatened, and leaped out of the water. Taichi, knowing better than to press her further, ran for his life. The two disappeared over the rocks.

The threesome of Kari, TK and Davis reappeared soon after that. They didn't need to ask, they had heard the whole thing. They were carrying noodles. (Actually, the boys were. Hikari had taken advantage of the fact that she knew they'd acquiesce to her every request).

The digidestind were having a good time, to say the least. It seemed that nothing could go wrong. Everything was perfect. They were surrounded by friends (and family, for some) and the weather was perfect. There had been no troubles in the Digital World for a while now, but hey still got to talk to their very close friends, the digimon, every once in a while.

All of them had taken a break, and they were starting to eat. Actually, Daisuke and Taichi were eating. Everyone else was watching. It seemed that they hadn't brought enough food…

The day passed slowly, much to the delight of the chosen children. They fooled around, and acted more like little kids than anything else. At one point, they even managed to all be in the water at the same time. Matt had mysteriously coaxed Mimi into the water, to the surprise of everyone else.

When they had started to pack up, was when things really started to happen.

The Digidestind were oblivious to the things around them, and had loaded everything up. They had decided to stay and watch the sunset, as it was always breathtaking from that particular spot on the coastline.

"Well, I'd say tat this was a good day." Yamato commented.

"Uh-huh." Tai replied.

"We should probably get going now; we've stayed later than we planned. Some of our parents might be worried." Ken mused.

"Yeah, our parents have probably already called the police." Hikari muttered, standing up.

Just as the girl was about to leap off the borderline rock onto the grass where the cars were parked, a maniacal laugh rang through the air.

Immediatley, the others leapt up, and they all looked for the source of the noise.

A cloud of smoke appeared overhead, and inside was a rather odd looking creature. It wasn't very tall, maybe three feet at the most. It was robed in a flowing cloak that glistened with all sorts of colours. It wore a hat, and it came down over its forehead. Under the cloak was what seemed to be a shirt, and it was laced up the side with yellow string. The 'shirt' itself was red. The creatures eyes were a piercing green, and it held a golden staff in its right hand.

"Ugh, it has no sense of colour whatsoever…" Was the first thing out of Mimi's mouth? This, of course, was nothing but the truth, but only Mimi could say something like that at such a time.

"Uh, would you mind letting us pass? I mean, if you want the beach, you can have it. We're done." This, of course, was Davis.

It laughed again. "You really are foolish children!" It floated closer to them. "I don't see how the likes of you could have defeated such foes as you have."

They stared at him blankly.

It rolled its eyes. "I am Oraclemon. I have come to destroy the likes of you digidestind."

The chosen children walked passed him, and headed towards the vehicles.

"Hey!" he called.

"Look man, we want to humour you and all, but this is just getting old. Why don't you save yourself and go home like a good little evil digimon." Tai said.

At this point, the digimon looked like it would explode.

"Fools! Do not underestimate my power! I will do to you what no other has done, and you won't have your little friends to help you out!"

With that, the digimon held up the staff. The jewel on the end of it began to shine brightly. The digidestind were lifted from the ground, and turned to see the laughing face of Oraclemon.

"Let's see you get out of this mess!"

The digidestind looked down, and found themselves disappearing.

"What's going on?" screamed Hikari.

Oraclemon smirked. "Why don't you wait and find out?"

The last of the digidestind disappeared into thin air. They were gone from this world, and this time, for that matter. They were unwillingly plunged into an adventure like none other that they had experienced, and this time, there were no digimon to help them.

Calmer of the Storm: Okay okay, that came out rather cheesy…but it's just the intro! It gets better, I promise! Please, just bear with me…and review! If I get a sufficient amount, I'll continue…please! You know you want to….
