Angel stepped off of the plane and looked around. Odiba wasn't too much different from Rhode Island. Angel was a sixteen-year-old girl who had just moved from America to here, Odiba, Japan for her dad's job. Angel had thought that she would see a bunch of freaky people walking around with those eyes that are in the Japanese animation, and big mouths. But they were normal. They even spoke English, weird... Not many people were around; mostly woman dressed in uniforms. People who worked there, she guessed. She smiled at an old lady that she met on the plane. She had offered her some prunes. Angel just pretended that she fell asleep. The woman didn't really mind.
"Angel!! Come on!" Angel turned her head. Her mom was waving to her to come. Angel grabbed her bags and got into their car. "Here, take a brush. Your hair is kind of messed up..." Angel grabbed the brush that her mom was reaching to give her. She started to brush her blonde hair. Angel had blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore a jean mini skirt and a black shirt. She wore boots that went a little above her ankle; they were black, too. She opened her bag and took out the gel to fix her hair. Her dad was laughing, he didn't say why, though. She made sure that she didn't look like an idiot. Her make-up was fine, and so was her hair. She put away the gel and mirror and looked out the window. A boy that looked about her age with big brown hair and what looked like to be his brother were playing soccer. Some other kids holding stuffed animals were watching them.
The older boy with the big hair kicked the ball and hit his brother in the face. They started laughing. Angel smiled. This place is okay if it has soccer... She thought. Angel had been the best on her team; she helped it to the top.
"When we get home you have to go to bed." Her dad said.
"WHAT? IT'S ONLY SIX O' CLOCK RIGHT NOW!" She cried.
"Yeah, well, you have to go to school at seven tomorrow, you have eight hours of school!" Her mom laughed. "And don't yell." Angel sighed and continued watching the kids. They were walking out of the field, going home she guessed.
"This is our new street!" Her dad bellowed. The street was right near the field, good. "And here's our new house!" The house had three floors. It had a big yard, and many windows. It looked like it had been painted many colors, 'cause now it was dark brown in some places, a dark yellow in others, and some black. But it looked, well, okay. When she went in, it looked great. "Go pick your room, Angie." She ran up the stairs with her bags. She looked at the first room. It was very small, Angel didn't like it. She went to the next (there were three rooms). It was medium, with two windows. Angel liked lots of windows. The next was huge. Angel liked it. It had four windows, a walk in closet, and a wood floor. Perfect. Her parents could have the medium room.
She had to get out of the room while the mover's were bringing her bed and stuff in. After that, she arranged it the way she wanted it to be. She put her bed up against a wall with a window on each side, her burrow across from that, her TV on it and radio, and her vanity on the side. She went over and hung up the rest of her clothes in the closet. When she was done, it was eight thirty. She set up her alarm clock, put on her pajamas, and fell asleep.

"Angie! Here's your uniform! Wake up!" Her mom said, shaking her. It was six o' clock in the morning. Angel was terrified at the site of her uniform.
"Oh my God! What is that?! It looks like what a Sailor Scout would wear!!!!" She said.
"Well, it's the uniform." Angel groaned and put on the uniform. Luckily, it wasn't long on her; it was like her mini skirt. She went down for breakfast, then went to catch the bus.
The bus was normal, no different from Rhode Island. She got on. The people that she saw at the field were there. She sat in front of the kid with the big hair.
"Hi! I'm Yolie, what's your name?" The girl with purple hair asked.
"Um, hi. My names Angel Kesack, I just moved here from America..."
"Hi! I'm Iori!" A kid said in a raspy voice, he reminded her of those people from star wars. She had an urge to say, 'Use the force Iori!'...
"Hi."
"Hi! Welcome to Odiba. I'm T.K. This is Kari." A kid with a hat that looked like it belonged to Gilligan pointed to a girl that looked like an anorexic.
"Hey! Why'd you introduce Kari T.J.?" The brother said.
"T.K.! IT'S TEE, DOT, KAY, DOT DAVIS!" Davis. That's the name.
"Hi, I'm Taichi." The kid with the big hair said.
"Are you two related?" She pointed at Davis and Tai.
"No." Tai answered.
"You look alike."
"We've all noticed that, they like the same things, too. And they both act the same..." T.K. said.
"Oh..." She said, looking at Davis. Then she turned back to the window.
"Can- can I feel your hair?" Davis asked. Angel stared at him.
"What?" She asked.
"Your hair- can I touch it?"
"Why?!"
"We think that people with blonde hair and blue eyes are good luck!"
"You believe in that, Davis? Oh my God, Angel, don't listen to him. Some people believe that stuff, but it's the same thing as keeping a cricket." Kari said, laughing. Davis blushed. "And if anyone needed to touch your hair, it would be Davis, he has the worst luck!" They laughed, even Angel. She didn't think that she would make friends this early, only the second day in Japan! The bus stopped and they walked into school. She walked in with them. Her first class was science. She found out that Davis, Yolie, Kari, and T.K. were in Junior High. Her first class was with Tai, good, she won't be alone. He sat down next to her and some other kid with blonde hair. He introduced himself, Yamato Ishida.
"Hi! Aren't you that kid whose in that- band?" She asked.
"Yeah." He said, brushing back his hair. She thought of how Ray would make fun of Tai. Ray was her friend from America, he would always make fun of everything. Him and her would fight a lot, but they were friends. That reminded her of Brian. His screams ringed in her ears. He was a leader type person, and when they did something wrong, he'd explode. Nothing ever happened to him, he'd just yell a lot.
Angel hadn't noticed that the teacher was repeating her name. "Angel, would you land your rocket ship on Earth now?" He said.
"Sorry Mr. Yasuke." She said. The class was giggling. She blushed and looked at Tai. He laughed and shook his head.
Angel never realized how much smarter Japan people were! During class she had no time to pass notes or talk, she was taking notes. When she missed them, she'd look at Tai's. It was hard, though. She couldn't read his writing it was a neat sort of messy. She listened carefully as Mr. Yasuke explained how the universe was created.
Finally, school was over. They had five things for homework, not bad. Tai had suggested that they all hung out at the field, Angel agreed, her parents would be at work until about seven. They stopped at her house so that she could get changed into jeans. She put on black jeans and a white tee shirt. She left her backpack at home, too. When they got there, it took the Junior High students a half-hour to come. They had to get help for science. Tai and Davis kicked around the ball, Angel laughed at them.
"And what's so funny?" Tai asked, out of breath. Angel cooled down.
"You guys stink!" She blurted out.
"In what manner?" Tai asked.
"Oh yeah, well, let's see you against Tai! One on one!" Davis cheered.
"All right." She said, walking over to the ball.
"You first. I've always believed in ladies first." He said.
"Yeah, so go ahead, Tai!" Kari laughed. So did everyone else. Then they started. Angel kicked it through his legs and went around him. He followed. She kicked the ball towards the goal. SCORE!! Angel laughed.
"Ladies first!" She said, gesturing for him to get the ball. He shook his head and smiled. She walked over to it and kicked it to him. "Go." He kicked to her. "Fine." She kicked it past him and he chased. She was beating him. He couldn't get the ball. Another score. Than another. Than another until she had made ten, and Tai had one.
He smiled and said out of breath, "Your good."
"Thanks."
"Were you on a team?"
"Yeah, you?"
"Yeah."
"Wow." Davis said. "Your good..."
"Thank you." She said, looking at her watch. Something started beeping. Yolie walked over to a bush and took out something and looked like she was reading.
"Hey guys, we gotta go." She said. Davis, T.K., Kari, and Iori walked away, leaving Angel and Tai alone in the field. He walked her back to her house, said good game, good night, and left.

It had been just three weeks that Angel had moved from America and almost everyone in her class knew her and was her friend. Her new closest friends were Sora, Izzy, Mimi (she lived in New York, she visits sometimes, though...), Tai, Matt, and Jyou. There were other people, but she knew these people better. She also had met another girl, Jun.
Jun was very interested in Matt, wonder why... But she was very annoying. Jun reminded Angel of a Christmas tree... But Jun was in a different grade so Angel didn't see her too much.
Tai and Davis had been practicing soccer a lot so that they could beat her, yeah right. She found that Davis was really thick headed, and weird.
As for Ray and Brian, they kept in touch with their computer. Ray had a obsession with saying, "Ba-oing. Boing.". Over and over. Brian used caps lock to symbol yelling. Haha.
Well, now she was sitting in math class, not knowing what they're talking about. She just kept notes, and when she missed, Yamatos handwriting was a lot easier to read... When school was over (they were in the last period), it would be the weekend and they were going to the field. Another embarrassment for Tai and Davis. But this time Yamato, Sora, Izzy, and Jyou were going. Good. A crowd to show off in.
"Good game! Bye!" Davis said when Angel had to go home. She had beaten them again, two on one. Tai and Davis to her. The score was twenty to six. Easy. She wished that she could stay longer, but it was getting dark. And she had a lot of homework, yuck. Some people volunteered to help her, but she didn't really want anyone over right now. When she got home, her parents weren't there. She went online to see if Ray or Brian sent her mail.
"YOU HAVE MAIL." The computer said. She read it-
Hey Angie. anything new there? Ba-oing. boing. ba-oing. boing. Haha. brian popped a vein! seriously! he was yelling and was so angry that it just popped! well, not popped, but, got big. and his face got all reddish purplish! o man, u should have been here. korbat ses hi. he's on my head right now. i feel bad for u, theres eight hours of school there. not!! hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! why havent u been coming to u know where? next time u come, brians gonna kill u!!!! hows nano? haha right... see ya!
Ray
Now she had something from Brian. Oh joy...
i have no reason to be nice. WHERE HAVE U BEEN???????????? WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS WHILE YOUR GONE??????!!!!! WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU????? okay. come here soon or i'll come and get you. brian.
"Who's Brian?" Angel spun around. Tai was standing there.
"How long have you been there?"
"I read all of your mail. Well, the ones from Ray and Brian at least.."
"Oh, they're friends from America."
"Who's Nano and Korbat?"
"You know how he said, 'haha, right'?"
"Yeah."
"Well, they were...uh... our old invisible friends.."
"Oh, really? Go where?"
"Um... Brian and Ray thought that I just moved to another city and want me to come there soon, I have to tell them that I live in Japan. I just told Ray a couple days ago..." Tai didn't buy it.
"Oh."
"Oh... Well... not to be mean but can you leave please? I have to write back."
"Sure, see ya tomorrow."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Hey Ray. be more careful of what u write, Tai- a friend, just walked in and asked some questions. nano's fine- lol. and i dont know when i'll come back. i dont want to face brian. o man! help me. Angel
Brian... hi... u c, we have a lot more homework than u and stuff is harder. be more careful of what u write, Tai- a friend, just walked in and asked some questions. and i dont really want to go back. i like it here. Angel
That was settled. She made sure that Tai was gone, then sent the mail. She was scared of what Brian would say. Brian wasn't a bad guy, but he's very serious. Some people were scared of him, everyone basically except for Ray. Ray was his best friend. Hard to believe, though.
"YOU HAVE MAIL." Huh?
a friend? (this is from Ray) ooooo.... probably a bf. hahahaha!!!!!
Angel knew that he was on, so she IMed(instant message) him.
Angel: hi Ray

Brian: put that on paper, put it in the scanner
Angel: I, Angel Kesack, will go to the ********* in exactly three weeks happy?
Brian: hold on, i'm printing it
Angel: okay
"Angel? I was walking by and your mom said to come in and help you with your homework and stuff... Weird." Angel turned around and sighed. Tai was there, again.
"How long have you been there this time?"
"Just to see Brian say than come. Come where?"
"Um... To our club."
"In America?"
"No, we have a club online, and I haven't been there in a while..."
"Oh, can I join?"
"We'll see..."
"Cool. Well..."
"Oh, right." She had to tell Brian that she had to go.
Angel: Brian? a friend just came in, Tai Kamiya
Brian: ooooooohhhh... okay
Angel: okay
Brian: dont 4get, i have it in writing
Angel: sure
Brian: bye
Angel: bye
"Okay." She said, turning off the computer.
"Okay.. um.. Do you have a pen I could use? I kinda forgot mine..." Angel laughed.
"Sure." She gave him a blue pen. "Let's go downstairs because I'm desk-less in here..."
"Okay." They went down the stairs and into the living room. Mostly all they had for homework was science, math, history, and japinese. Tai was basically the one who did it, he had been in the school longer than Angel. Angel helped a little... But not much. Good this that Tai was there... She would have nothing done.
After they were done, they both had writers cramps.
"Thanks, Tai. Couldn't of done it without ya!" Tai yawned.
"Sure. I would say any time, but I do all the work!" They laughed at the joke.
"Come back soon!"
"I'll think about it. I don't mean this in affense, I hope you know."
"No, I mean, I know."
"Okay then."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, bye!" Angel closed the door. Then laughed, Tai never wanted to do homework with her again, it was like doing it with himself! But maybe he would, Angel hoped, come back. She realized that she did like Tai, she didn't know why, though. She had just met him three weeks ago! Oh well, who really cares. He's sweet. Now about Brian and his plan..

"So, um, like, I was wondering if you want to see a movie or something on Friday." Tai asked Angel. They were next to the bubbler in Odiba Highschool, talking. It had been five days since the homework incident. Angel blushed, so did Tai.
"Um.. sure." She said, a burst of energy just came up from her stomach to her throat.
"Okay, well, heres my number." He said, scribbling it down on a piece of paper. "Call me and say if it's okay or not."
"Okay." She took the paper out of his hand. A dream come true. Tai waved and went out the doors to go home. It was was Wednesday, and Angel never felt better. She grabbed her backpack and started home.
"Hey Mom?" Angel said to her mother when she got home.
"Yeah?"
"Um.. remember that guy Tai?"
"Yes, nice boy."
"Well, he asked me out for Friday, just a movie or something."
"Ask Dad, it's fine with me." Angel walked into the living room, good, her dad was watching football, when he does, he just answers 'yes' to everything.
"Hey Dad?"
"Yes?"
"Um.. remember Tai?"
"Yes." He didn't.
"Well, um, he asked me out for Friday, just a movie or something. Can I go? Mom said yes."
"Yes."
"Thanks Daddy!" She said, going up to her room to call Tai. She took out the number he gave her and dialed it.
"Hello?" A voice said.
"Hi, is Tai there?" She asked.
"This is him."
"Oh, hi, it's Angel."
"Oh, hi."
"Yes."
"You can?"
"Yup."
"Oh, cool. To what? Where do you wanna go?"
"Oh, I dunno. Movie?"
"Okay. Which one?"
"Um... you choose, I don't know any..."
"Okay, how about.... Oh I don't know any either." Angel laughed. "Okay, how about, um... I forgot."
"Haha! Okay then. How 'bout we decide on Friday?"
"Okay, that's a good idea. Well, see you then!"
"Okay, bye!"
"Bye." She hung up. She looked around the room, not knowing why, though. She couldn't wait until Friday!
"Mom! Help me! I don't know what to wear!" It was Friday, Angel and Tai agreed that he would pick her up at seven, and now it was six. She picked out a mini jean skirt, and a shirt, which was white, high-heeled shoes, and her hair down. She was very exited, her first date. She went down and turned on the t.v. Pokemon was on, what a joke. It wasn't even real! But it was something to keep her busy until seven. Pokemon seemed to go by slowly, though. Finally the doorbell rang. She sprang up and ran to the door. Tai was standing there, smiling.
He had on pretty much normal clothes, jeans, sneakers, and a black shirt. His jacket was jean.
"You look nice." He said. For some reason, she felt embarrassed. She guessed that Tai did, too. Did Tai have a car?
"You do, too.." She said.
"You guys have fun now! Angel, be back here at ten thirty."
"Okay, by Mom! By Dad!" Football was on.
"Bye!" Her mom said.
"Yes." They walked out. Tai did have a car, it was green and regular. Nothing special.
"Examining the car? Not that nice, is it? Sorry." He said.
"Oh, no! It's fine. Better than what I have. My mom doesn't want me driving 'till I'm seventeen!" He opened the door for her, and went to his side. The inside was normal, too. On the rear-view mirror hung a little pine tree to keep the car smelling good. The seats were tan and leather, and the car was cleaned out.
"So, um, where are we going?"
"Uh... why don't we ask around and see what the best movies are?"
"Okay, I'll use my cell phone to call Yamato." Basically all he said was, Yeah. Hi, what are the best movies? Okay. Thanks, bye. Then he hung it up. "He said that the best were probably The Nutty Professor, maybe you've seen it, it's from America.
She nodded and said, "Yeah, but, I'd like to see how they changed it in the over sea shipping."
"Okay, so Nutty Professor?"
"If that's what you want."
"Is it funny?"
"Yeah! Very."
"Okay, Nutty Professor it is!" They went to the theater, and Tai insisted on buying. Angel tried not to get much, and made him let her pay for the drinks and snacks. The movie was basically the same as in America. It was good, though. After that, they got a drink and Tai brought her home at ten thirteen.
"Well, that was fun, thanks." Angel said. Tai leaned over and kissed her, Angel, surpassed, kissed back. Angel waved good bye and went in.
She ran up to her room and lied down on her bed. Then she remembered Ray and went on. He was on, too.
Angel: i can make fun of u now
Ray: oh no
Angel: yup, i have a- wait, if i tell u than u'll tell brian!
Brian: tell me what? Brian was on too. Oh joy.
Ray: that Angel has a bf
Brian: so u have 1 now?
Angel: well, uh.. ya
Brian: who?
Angel: Taichi Kamiya
Ray: haha, ure in trouble!
Brian: shut up Ray. Angel, u know that i have it in writing, and if Tai makes you not come, than ill come get you and get rid of Tai
Angel: Brian! come on! i just met him!
Brian: if he doesnt interfear, than u can stay with him
Angel: whateva mother
Ray: dude, wheres my car?
Angel: probably where u left my cd rom
Ray: hey! that was lost-five-years-ago...
Brian- well, r u still coming next week?
Angel: whatever
Brian: good, c ya there. bye He got off
Ray: how can u like Tai? his hair is so-... big!
Angel: so, u don't know him
Ray: so? i know that he's butt ugly!
Angel: is not!
Ray: ba-oing. boing.
Angel: he's nice. and i like him, so deal!
Ray: fine Ray logged off. Good, Angel wanted to think.

Today was the day that she had to go back. The last week nothing really happened. She went out with Tai again. Nothing too much. Nanojiemon said that the portal was in the detention room.
"Wanna hang out for a while?" Tai asked, school was over.
"No, sorry, I have to do something."
"Oh, yeah, so do I, right. Bye!"
"Bye!" She said, walking out of the school. First she would go home, get changed, then go to the Digiworld. It took her five minutes to get changed and get to the Odiba Junior High.
"Are you sure this is it?" Angel asked Nanojiemon, walking into the detention room. Nanojiemon made herself visible.
"Positively absolutely!" She said in a squeaky voice.
"Hey! That's weird, the portal has already been accessed on the screen..."
"Well, who cares." Angel paused. "Come on! Brian's already going to be angry at you! He might pop a vein again!"
"All right." She said, holding out her digivice. It was different from the 01 peoples, it had their name on it and a view button(where you could see the whole digiworld or another person). Brian was standing there with the others. He looked mad.
"WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A HOUR!" He screamed.
"We have longer school than you, Brian." She answered back.
"Ba-oing, boing! Hi!" Ray said, acting like a girl would and running up hugging her.
"EEEWW! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!" She said, pushing him away. He laughed.
"Angel!" Jessica, her best friend, said, running up and hugging her.
"Sure, hug her back. Shows how nice you are!" Ray said. Charmandermon(his digimon) pouted to go along with him.
"Did anyone follow you?" Brian asked.
"Not that I know of." She answered.
"Okay then." He said. "Did you get your 'reputation'?"
"Yes." He ment with Tai.
"Good. Now we can get to business. Sheeshomon told us to spy on DarkAngelmon for now, and that's what we're doing. Got that?" He said, looking at Ray.
"Yes Sir!" Ray yelled, doing the cadet sign.
"Now let's go do our thing."

"Hi, is Angel there?" Tai asked, it had been an hour since they got back from school.
"No, she said that she had to do something, sorry, she should be back soon." Angels mother said.
"Okay, thanks." He said, hanging up. No sooner he hung up, it rang again.
"Hello?"
"Tai?"
"Yes?"
"Hi, this is Davis."
"Yeah?"
"DemiV-mon said that when he was hiding in the closet in the Detention Room, Angel went to the Digiworld."
"Really? Probably not, she said that she had to do something."
"Maybe it was go to the digiworld."
"But she's not a digidestend!"
"Who said? You remember Michael!" Tai paused.
"I'll talk to her."
"Come here."
"Where is that?"
"School, mine."
"Kay, see ya there. Bye." He said hanging up. Angel couldn't be a digidestend! DemiV-mon must have been dreaming or something. Yeah, that's it. Dreaming. Tai thought, pulling on his jacket. When he got to the school, Angel came out of the Detention room.
"Angel!" Tai said, waving and running up to her. "What were you doing in there?"
"Um... Checking it out! Yeah, I wanted to see what it was like."
"That's what you had to do?"
"No! I.. uh... I told Ray that he could reach me on the school computer, too! So, I was checking for mail and emailing him telling him not to email it there..." She said, looking down.
"Oh." Maybe she did go to the Digiworld, no, she couldn't of...
"Okay. So, um you wanted to do something? I'm free now."
"Um, sure. Wanna get something to eat? Hey- your flair's are ripped!"
"Oh, yeah, um, I fell. And yeah, sure, I'm starving."
"Okay.. on me."
"I'm to hungry to fight."
"Good." He said, smiling. They ran into Davis, Kari, T.K., Iori, and Yolie on the way there.
"And where have you been?" Davis asked Angel.
"She went to check out the Detention room." Tai answered for her. She smiled in thanks to him.
"Oh. Kay."
"See ya tomorrow." Tai said, pushing past them. Angel waved and followed. They went to the Chinese restaurant and talked. Tai never mentioned the detention room while they were there. After that, they went to the arcade and played some games. Then, they took a walk back to her house.
"So, I'll see you tomorrow in school." Tai said, kissing her.
"Okay, don't expect me to be online, I'm really tired."
"Okay, bye." She said, going in. Tai walked back and went to his room. Kari was online.
"Hi, Tai." She said.
"Hi."
"Going to bed already?" Tai didn't even think of getting changed, he just plopped down on his bunk bed.
"Yeah, I'm tired."
"Where'd you go with Angel?"
"Dinner and a arcade. 'Night."
"'Night." She said, turning back to the computer. Tai fell right asleep.
Angel stepped off of the plane and looked around. Odiba wasn't too much different from Rhode Island. Angel was a sixteen-year-old girl who had just moved from America to here, Odiba, Japan for her dad's job. Angel had thought that she would see a bunch of freaky people walking around with those eyes that are in the Japanese animation, and big mouths. But they were normal. They even spoke English, weird... Not many people were around; mostly woman dressed in uniforms. People who worked there, she guessed. She smiled at an old lady that she met on the plane. She had offered her some prunes. Angel just pretended that she fell asleep. The woman didn't really mind.
"Angel!! Come on!" Angel turned her head. Her mom was waving to her to come. Angel grabbed her bags and got into their car. "Here, take a brush. Your hair is kind of messed up..." Angel grabbed the brush that her mom was reaching to give her. She started to brush her blonde hair. Angel had blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore a jean mini skirt and a black shirt. She wore boots that went a little above her ankle; they were black, too. She opened her bag and took out the gel to fix her hair. Her dad was laughing, he didn't say why, though. She made sure that she didn't look like an idiot. Her make-up was fine, and so was her hair. She put away the gel and mirror and looked out the window. A boy that looked about her age with big brown hair and what looked like to be his brother were playing soccer. Some other kids holding stuffed animals were watching them.
The older boy with the big hair kicked the ball and hit his brother in the face. They started laughing. Angel smiled. This place is okay if it has soccer... She thought. Angel had been the best on her team; she helped it to the top.
"When we get home you have to go to bed." Her dad said.
"WHAT? IT'S ONLY SIX O' CLOCK RIGHT NOW!" She cried.
"Yeah, well, you have to go to school at seven tomorrow, you have eight hours of school!" Her mom laughed. "And don't yell." Angel sighed and continued watching the kids. They were walking out of the field, going home she guessed.
"This is our new street!" Her dad bellowed. The street was right near the field, good. "And here's our new house!" The house had three floors. It had a big yard, and many windows. It looked like it had been painted many colors, 'cause now it was dark brown in some places, a dark yellow in others, and some black. But it looked, well, okay. When she went in, it looked great. "Go pick your room, Angie." She ran up the stairs with her bags. She looked at the first room. It was very small, Angel didn't like it. She went to the next (there were three rooms). It was medium, with two windows. Angel liked lots of windows. The next was huge. Angel liked it. It had four windows, a walk in closet, and a wood floor. Perfect. Her parents could have the medium room.
She had to get out of the room while the mover's were bringing her bed and stuff in. After that, she arranged it the way she wanted it to be. She put her bed up against a wall with a window on each side, her burrow across from that, her TV on it and radio, and her vanity on the side. She went over and hung up the rest of her clothes in the closet. When she was done, it was eight thirty. She set up her alarm clock, put on her pajamas, and fell asleep.

"Angie! Here's your uniform! Wake up!" Her mom said, shaking her. It was six o' clock in the morning. Angel was terrified at the site of her uniform.
"Oh my God! What is that?! It looks like what a Sailor Scout would wear!!!!" She said.
"Well, it's the uniform." Angel groaned and put on the uniform. Luckily, it wasn't long on her; it was like her mini skirt. She went down for breakfast, then went to catch the bus.
The bus was normal, no different from Rhode Island. She got on. The people that she saw at the field were there. She sat in front of the kid with the big hair.
"Hi! I'm Yolie, what's your name?" The girl with purple hair asked.
"Um, hi. My names Angel Kesack, I just moved here from America..."
"Hi! I'm Iori!" A kid said in a raspy voice, he reminded her of those people from star wars. She had an urge to say, 'Use the force Iori!'...
"Hi."
"Hi! Welcome to Odiba. I'm T.K. This is Kari." A kid with a hat that looked like it belonged to Gilligan pointed to a girl that looked like an anorexic.
"Hey! Why'd you introduce Kari T.J.?" The brother said.
"T.K.! IT'S TEE, DOT, KAY, DOT DAVIS!" Davis. That's the name.
"Hi, I'm Taichi." The kid with the big hair said.
"Are you two related?" She pointed at Davis and Tai.
"No." Tai answered.
"You look alike."
"We've all noticed that, they like the same things, too. And they both act the same..." T.K. said.
"Oh..." She said, looking at Davis. Then she turned back to the window.
"Can- can I feel your hair?" Davis asked. Angel stared at him.
"What?" She asked.
"Your hair- can I touch it?"
"Why?!"
"We think that people with blonde hair and blue eyes are good luck!"
"You believe in that, Davis? Oh my God, Angel, don't listen to him. Some people believe that stuff, but it's the same thing as keeping a cricket." Kari said, laughing. Davis blushed. "And if anyone needed to touch your hair, it would be Davis, he has the worst luck!" They laughed, even Angel. She didn't think that she would make friends this early, only the second day in Japan! The bus stopped and they walked into school. She walked in with them. Her first class was science. She found out that Davis, Yolie, Kari, and T.K. were in Junior High. Her first class was with Tai, good, she won't be alone. He sat down next to her and some other kid with blonde hair. He introduced himself, Yamato Ishida.
"Hi! Aren't you that kid whose in that- band?" She asked.
"Yeah." He said, brushing back his hair. She thought of how Ray would make fun of Tai. Ray was her friend from America, he would always make fun of everything. Him and her would fight a lot, but they were friends. That reminded her of Brian. His screams ringed in her ears. He was a leader type person, and when they did something wrong, he'd explode. Nothing ever happened to him, he'd just yell a lot.
Angel hadn't noticed that the teacher was repeating her name. "Angel, would you land your rocket ship on Earth now?" He said.
"Sorry Mr. Yasuke." She said. The class was giggling. She blushed and looked at Tai. He laughed and shook his head.
Angel never realized how much smarter Japan people were! During class she had no time to pass notes or talk, she was taking notes. When she missed them, she'd look at Tai's. It was hard, though. She couldn't read his writing it was a neat sort of messy. She listened carefully as Mr. Yasuke explained how the universe was created.
Finally, school was over. They had five things for homework, not bad. Tai had suggested that they all hung out at the field, Angel agreed, her parents would be at work until about seven. They stopped at her house so that she could get changed into jeans. She put on black jeans and a white tee shirt. She left her backpack at home, too. When they got there, it took the Junior High students a half-hour to come. They had to get help for science. Tai and Davis kicked around the ball, Angel laughed at them.
"And what's so funny?" Tai asked, out of breath. Angel cooled down.
"You guys stink!" She blurted out.
"In what manner?" Tai asked.
"Oh yeah, well, let's see you against Tai! One on one!" Davis cheered.
"All right." She said, walking over to the ball.
"You first. I've always believed in ladies first." He said.
"Yeah, so go ahead, Tai!" Kari laughed. So did everyone else. Then they started. Angel kicked it through his legs and went around him. He followed. She kicked the ball towards the goal. SCORE!! Angel laughed.
"Ladies first!" She said, gesturing for him to get the ball. He shook his head and smiled. She walked over to it and kicked it to him. "Go." He kicked to her. "Fine." She kicked it past him and he chased. She was beating him. He couldn't get the ball. Another score. Than another. Than another until she had made ten, and Tai had one.
He smiled and said out of breath, "Your good."
"Thanks."
"Were you on a team?"
"Yeah, you?"
"Yeah."
"Wow." Davis said. "Your good..."
"Thank you." She said, looking at her watch. Something started beeping. Yolie walked over to a bush and took out something and looked like she was reading.
"Hey guys, we gotta go." She said. Davis, T.K., Kari, and Iori walked away, leaving Angel and Tai alone in the field. He walked her back to her house, said good game, good night, and left.

It had been just three weeks that Angel had moved from America and almost everyone in her class knew her and was her friend. Her new closest friends were Sora, Izzy, Mimi (she lived in New York, she visits sometimes, though...), Tai, Matt, and Jyou. There were other people, but she knew these people better. She also had met another girl, Jun.
Jun was very interested in Matt, wonder why... But she was very annoying. Jun reminded Angel of a Christmas tree... But Jun was in a different grade so Angel didn't see her too much.
Tai and Davis had been practicing soccer a lot so that they could beat her, yeah right. She found that Davis was really thick headed, and weird.
As for Ray and Brian, they kept in touch with their computer. Ray had a obsession with saying, "Ba-oing. Boing.". Over and over. Brian used caps lock to symbol yelling. Haha.
Well, now she was sitting in math class, not knowing what they're talking about. She just kept notes, and when she missed, Yamatos handwriting was a lot easier to read... When school was over (they were in the last period), it would be the weekend and they were going to the field. Another embarrassment for Tai and Davis. But this time Yamato, Sora, Izzy, and Jyou were going. Good. A crowd to show off in.
"Good game! Bye!" Davis said when Angel had to go home. She had beaten them again, two on one. Tai and Davis to her. The score was twenty to six. Easy. She wished that she could stay longer, but it was getting dark. And she had a lot of homework, yuck. Some people volunteered to help her, but she didn't really want anyone over right now. When she got home, her parents weren't there. She went online to see if Ray or Brian sent her mail.
"YOU HAVE MAIL." The computer said. She read it-
Hey Angie. anything new there? Ba-oing. boing. ba-oing. boing. Haha. brian popped a vein! seriously! he was yelling and was so angry that it just popped! well, not popped, but, got big. and his face got all reddish purplish! o man, u should have been here. korbat ses hi. he's on my head right now. i feel bad for u, theres eight hours of school there. not!! hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! why havent u been coming to u know where? next time u come, brians gonna kill u!!!! hows nano? haha right... see ya!
Ray
Now she had something from Brian. Oh joy...
i have no reason to be nice. WHERE HAVE U BEEN???????????? WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS WHILE YOUR GONE??????!!!!! WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU????? okay. come here soon or i'll come and get you. brian.
"Who's Brian?" Angel spun around. Tai was standing there.
"How long have you been there?"
"I read all of your mail. Well, the ones from Ray and Brian at least.."
"Oh, they're friends from America."
"Who's Nano and Korbat?"
"You know how he said, 'haha, right'?"
"Yeah."
"Well, they were...uh... our old invisible friends.."
"Oh, really? Go where?"
"Um... Brian and Ray thought that I just moved to another city and want me to come there soon, I have to tell them that I live in Japan. I just told Ray a couple days ago..." Tai didn't buy it.
"Oh."
"Oh... Well... not to be mean but can you leave please? I have to write back."
"Sure, see ya tomorrow."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Hey Ray. be more careful of what u write, Tai- a friend, just walked in and asked some questions. nano's fine- lol. and i dont know when i'll come back. i dont want to face brian. o man! help me. Angel
Brian... hi... u c, we have a lot more homework than u and stuff is harder. be more careful of what u write, Tai- a friend, just walked in and asked some questions. and i dont really want to go back. i like it here. Angel
That was settled. She made sure that Tai was gone, then sent the mail. She was scared of what Brian would say. Brian wasn't a bad guy, but he's very serious. Some people were scared of him, everyone basically except for Ray. Ray was his best friend. Hard to believe, though.
"YOU HAVE MAIL." Huh?
a friend? (this is from Ray) ooooo.... probably a bf. hahahaha!!!!!
Angel knew that he was on, so she IMed(instant message) him.
Angel: hi Ray

Brian: put that on paper, put it in the scanner
Angel: I, Angel Kesack, will go to the ********* in exactly three weeks happy?
Brian: hold on, i'm printing it
Angel: okay
"Angel? I was walking by and your mom said to come in and help you with your homework and stuff... Weird." Angel turned around and sighed. Tai was there, again.
"How long have you been there this time?"
"Just to see Brian say than come. Come where?"
"Um... To our club."
"In America?"
"No, we have a club online, and I haven't been there in a while..."
"Oh, can I join?"
"We'll see..."
"Cool. Well..."
"Oh, right." She had to tell Brian that she had to go.
Angel: Brian? a friend just came in, Tai Kamiya
Brian: ooooooohhhh... okay
Angel: okay
Brian: dont 4get, i have it in writing
Angel: sure
Brian: bye
Angel: bye
"Okay." She said, turning off the computer.
"Okay.. um.. Do you have a pen I could use? I kinda forgot mine..." Angel laughed.
"Sure." She gave him a blue pen. "Let's go downstairs because I'm desk-less in here..."
"Okay." They went down the stairs and into the living room. Mostly all they had for homework was science, math, history, and japinese. Tai was basically the one who did it, he had been in the school longer than Angel. Angel helped a little... But not much. Good this that Tai was there... She would have nothing done.
After they were done, they both had writers cramps.
"Thanks, Tai. Couldn't of done it without ya!" Tai yawned.
"Sure. I would say any time, but I do all the work!" They laughed at the joke.
"Come back soon!"
"I'll think about it. I don't mean this in affense, I hope you know."
"No, I mean, I know."
"Okay then."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, bye!" Angel closed the door. Then laughed, Tai never wanted to do homework with her again, it was like doing it with himself! But maybe he would, Angel hoped, come back. She realized that she did like Tai, she didn't know why, though. She had just met him three weeks ago! Oh well, who really cares. He's sweet. Now about Brian and his plan..

"So, um, like, I was wondering if you want to see a movie or something on Friday." Tai asked Angel. They were next to the bubbler in Odiba Highschool, talking. It had been five days since the homework incident. Angel blushed, so did Tai.
"Um.. sure." She said, a burst of energy just came up from her stomach to her throat.
"Okay, well, heres my number." He said, scribbling it down on a piece of paper. "Call me and say if it's okay or not."
"Okay." She took the paper out of his hand. A dream come true. Tai waved and went out the doors to go home. It was was Wednesday, and Angel never felt better. She grabbed her backpack and started home.
"Hey Mom?" Angel said to her mother when she got home.
"Yeah?"
"Um.. remember that guy Tai?"
"Yes, nice boy."
"Well, he asked me out for Friday, just a movie or something."
"Ask Dad, it's fine with me." Angel walked into the living room, good, her dad was watching football, when he does, he just answers 'yes' to everything.
"Hey Dad?"
"Yes?"
"Um.. remember Tai?"
"Yes." He didn't.
"Well, um, he asked me out for Friday, just a movie or something. Can I go? Mom said yes."
"Yes."
"Thanks Daddy!" She said, going up to her room to call Tai. She took out the number he gave her and dialed it.
"Hello?" A voice said.
"Hi, is Tai there?" She asked.
"This is him."
"Oh, hi, it's Angel."
"Oh, hi."
"Yes."
"You can?"
"Yup."
"Oh, cool. To what? Where do you wanna go?"
"Oh, I dunno. Movie?"
"Okay. Which one?"
"Um... you choose, I don't know any..."
"Okay, how about.... Oh I don't know any either." Angel laughed. "Okay, how about, um... I forgot."
"Haha! Okay then. How 'bout we decide on Friday?"
"Okay, that's a good idea. Well, see you then!"
"Okay, bye!"
"Bye." She hung up. She looked around the room, not knowing why, though. She couldn't wait until Friday!
"Mom! Help me! I don't know what to wear!" It was Friday, Angel and Tai agreed that he would pick her up at seven, and now it was six. She picked out a mini jean skirt, and a shirt, which was white, high-heeled shoes, and her hair down. She was very exited, her first date. She went down and turned on the t.v. Pokemon was on, what a joke. It wasn't even real! But it was something to keep her busy until seven. Pokemon seemed to go by slowly, though. Finally the doorbell rang. She sprang up and ran to the door. Tai was standing there, smiling.
He had on pretty much normal clothes, jeans, sneakers, and a black shirt. His jacket was jean.
"You look nice." He said. For some reason, she felt embarrassed. She guessed that Tai did, too. Did Tai have a car?
"You do, too.." She said.
"You guys have fun now! Angel, be back here at ten thirty."
"Okay, by Mom! By Dad!" Football was on.
"Bye!" Her mom said.
"Yes." They walked out. Tai did have a car, it was green and regular. Nothing special.
"Examining the car? Not that nice, is it? Sorry." He said.
"Oh, no! It's fine. Better than what I have. My mom doesn't want me driving 'till I'm seventeen!" He opened the door for her, and went to his side. The inside was normal, too. On the rear-view mirror hung a little pine tree to keep the car smelling good. The seats were tan and leather, and the car was cleaned out.
"So, um, where are we going?"
"Uh... why don't we ask around and see what the best movies are?"
"Okay, I'll use my cell phone to call Yamato." Basically all he said was, Yeah. Hi, what are the best movies? Okay. Thanks, bye. Then he hung it up. "He said that the best were probably The Nutty Professor, maybe you've seen it, it's from America.
She nodded and said, "Yeah, but, I'd like to see how they changed it in the over sea shipping."
"Okay, so Nutty Professor?"
"If that's what you want."
"Is it funny?"
"Yeah! Very."
"Okay, Nutty Professor it is!" They went to the theater, and Tai insisted on buying. Angel tried not to get much, and made him let her pay for the drinks and snacks. The movie was basically the same as in America. It was good, though. After that, they got a drink and Tai brought her home at ten thirteen.
"Well, that was fun, thanks." Angel said. Tai leaned over and kissed her, Angel, surpassed, kissed back. Angel waved good bye and went in.
She ran up to her room and lied down on her bed. Then she remembered Ray and went on. He was on, too.
Angel: i can make fun of u now
Ray: oh no
Angel: yup, i have a- wait, if i tell u than u'll tell brian!
Brian: tell me what? Brian was on too. Oh joy.
Ray: that Angel has a bf
Brian: so u have 1 now?
Angel: well, uh.. ya
Brian: who?
Angel: Taichi Kamiya
Ray: haha, ure in trouble!
Brian: shut up Ray. Angel, u know that i have it in writing, and if Tai makes you not come, than ill come get you and get rid of Tai
Angel: Brian! come on! i just met him!
Brian: if he doesnt interfear, than u can stay with him
Angel: whateva mother
Ray: dude, wheres my car?
Angel: probably where u left my cd rom
Ray: hey! that was lost-five-years-ago...
Brian- well, r u still coming next week?
Angel: whatever
Brian: good, c ya there. bye He got off
Ray: how can u like Tai? his hair is so-... big!
Angel: so, u don't know him
Ray: so? i know that he's butt ugly!
Angel: is not!
Ray: ba-oing. boing.
Angel: he's nice. and i like him, so deal!
Ray: fine Ray logged off. Good, Angel wanted to think.

Today was the day that she had to go back. The last week nothing really happened. She went out with Tai again. Nothing too much. Nanojiemon said that the portal was in the detention room.
"Wanna hang out for a while?" Tai asked, school was over.
"No, sorry, I have to do something."
"Oh, yeah, so do I, right. Bye!"
"Bye!" She said, walking out of the school. First she would go home, get changed, then go to the Digiworld. It took her five minutes to get changed and get to the Odiba Junior High.
"Are you sure this is it?" Angel asked Nanojiemon, walking into the detention room. Nanojiemon made herself visible.
"Positively absolutely!" She said in a squeaky voice.
"Hey! That's weird, the portal has already been accessed on the screen..."
"Well, who cares." Angel paused. "Come on! Brian's already going to be angry at you! He might pop a vein again!"
"All right." She said, holding out her digivice. It was different from the 01 peoples, it had their name on it and a view button(where you could see the whole digiworld or another person). Brian was standing there with the others. He looked mad.
"WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A HOUR!" He screamed.
"We have longer school than you, Brian." She answered back.
"Ba-oing, boing! Hi!" Ray said, acting like a girl would and running up hugging her.
"EEEWW! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!" She said, pushing him away. He laughed.
"Angel!" Jessica, her best friend, said, running up and hugging her.
"Sure, hug her back. Shows how nice you are!" Ray said. Charmandermon(his digimon) pouted to go along with him.
"Did anyone follow you?" Brian asked.
"Not that I know of." She answered.
"Okay then." He said. "Did you get your 'reputation'?"
"Yes." He ment with Tai.
"Good. Now we can get to business. Sheeshomon told us to spy on DarkAngelmon for now, and that's what we're doing. Got that?" He said, looking at Ray.
"Yes Sir!" Ray yelled, doing the cadet sign.
"Now let's go do our thing."

"Hi, is Angel there?" Tai asked, it had been an hour since they got back from school.
"No, she said that she had to do something, sorry, she should be back soon." Angels mother said.
"Okay, thanks." He said, hanging up. No sooner he hung up, it rang again.
"Hello?"
"Tai?"
"Yes?"
"Hi, this is Davis."
"Yeah?"
"DemiV-mon said that when he was hiding in the closet in the Detention Room, Angel went to the Digiworld."
"Really? Probably not, she said that she had to do something."
"Maybe it was go to the digiworld."
"But she's not a digidestend!"
"Who said? You remember Michael!" Tai paused.
"I'll talk to her."
"Come here."
"Where is that?"
"School, mine."
"Kay, see ya there. Bye." He said hanging up. Angel couldn't be a digidestend! DemiV-mon must have been dreaming or something. Yeah, that's it. Dreaming. Tai thought, pulling on his jacket. When he got to the school, Angel came out of the Detention room.
"Angel!" Tai said, waving and running up to her. "What were you doing in there?"
"Um... Checking it out! Yeah, I wanted to see what it was like."
"That's what you had to do?"
"No! I.. uh... I told Ray that he could reach me on the school computer, too! So, I was checking for mail and emailing him telling him not to email it there..." She said, looking down.
"Oh." Maybe she did go to the Digiworld, no, she couldn't of...
"Okay. So, um you wanted to do something? I'm free now."
"Um, sure. Wanna get something to eat? Hey- your flair's are ripped!"
"Oh, yeah, um, I fell. And yeah, sure, I'm starving."
"Okay.. on me."
"I'm to hungry to fight."
"Good." He said, smiling. They ran into Davis, Kari, T.K., Iori, and Yolie on the way there.
"And where have you been?" Davis asked Angel.
"She went to check out the Detention room." Tai answered for her. She smiled in thanks to him.
"Oh. Kay."
"See ya tomorrow." Tai said, pushing past them. Angel waved and followed. They went to the Chinese restaurant and talked. Tai never mentioned the detention room while they were there. After that, they went to the arcade and played some games. Then, they took a walk back to her house.
"So, I'll see you tomorrow in school." Tai said, kissing her.
"Okay, don't expect me to be online, I'm really tired."
"Okay, bye." She said, going in. Tai walked back and went to his room. Kari was online.
"Hi, Tai." She said.
"Hi."
"Going to bed already?" Tai didn't even think of getting changed, he just plopped down on his bunk bed.
"Yeah, I'm tired."
"Where'd you go with Angel?"
"Dinner and a arcade. 'Night."
"'Night." She said, turning back to the computer. Tai fell right asleep.
