Wanted a change from KH fics, so I did this. Two of my favorite Digimon characters. No idea how I thought this up but anyway, on with the story. The disclaimer's in my profile.

It's post Tamers and Frontier, with a couple of changes. E.g. no one knows Digimon are real.

So you know, I don't know much about the school years in America and I don't use American terms like Mom.

Isn't it funny how life has so many surprises for you to run into? Well this was definitely one of them. I was out for my morning jog, a necessity for me, every morning at eight. As I was passing the bakery, a normal feature on my run (I just loved the smell) someone came out of the door with a sign, and stepped right in front of me. It wasn't deliberate though, luckily for him. Anyway, the boy I ran into ended up beneath me. That was the only thing I realized before I passed out. When I woke I realized two things. One, I was in a bed. Two, there was someone else in the room. My first thought was that it was my brother, until I smelled the familiar scent of the bakery. When he realized I was awake, which was when I first put my foot down and gave a cry of pain, startling him. He turned and, with a really goofy smile on his face, ran over and forced me back on his bed. Knowing I couldn't go anywhere, I settled down. Then it struck me. I was in a stranger's house. I was unable to get anywhere and had no clue as to where I was.

Well...that last part was a bit of a lie. I knew I was near the bakery, but that was it. "Well, it's good to see that you're awake." He said, surprising me. "By the way, your ankle's twisted. Hence the pain."

"Um, yeah. By the way, where am I? And who are you?" As I said that, I realized how he looked quite familiar. "Hey, do you go to Shinjuku High?"

"Yeah..."

"Tenth grade?"

"Yeah...how do you know all that?"

"I think you're in the same class as me." (A/N I don't quite know how this grade thing works.)

"You are, aren't you. I've never really noticed." He tried to remember something. "You're the one everyone calls a pyromaniac, right?" I laughed.

"That nickname of Junpei's finally caught up with me. I like fire, I just don't start them all the time."

"Right. Anyway, what's you're name? I never picked it up."

"Takuya. What's your's?"

"I'm Takato. My family own the bakery you seem to pass every morning."

"You watch me?"

"No, I just noticed you, especially since you always slow down when passing us."

"Really? I never noticed. It must be the smell. I think all bakeries have a beautiful smell, but your's takes the cake." He laughed at my atrocious joke.

"Would you like to hang out some time?" He asked once he had calmed down.

"Why not? A week on Friday?"

"Sure. You know where I live. Oh, can I borrow you're phone for a second?" I handed him it. He pressed a few buttons, then found he had entered his number. "Send me a text." I did so, so he had my number, then I tried to stand to leave, but forgot about my ankle. The next thing I knew, I was back on top of Takato. I managed to pick myself up and stood on my good leg, leaning on his chair for balance. He got up and helped me downstairs. He then got his Mum to take me home, him coming along with us. I gave directions, then Takato helped me to the door.

Shinya was the one who answered. I asked him to get Mum while Takato helped me to the sofa. He then waited until my mum came down, explained what happened, with help from me, then left when his mother came in to ask what was taking so long. I spent the next couple of days recovering, with visits from Izumi, Junpei, Koji and Koichi, Tomoki calling as her wasn't allowed to come. Izumi even brought me chocolates, which Junpei tried to steal, to my amusement. He really hadn't changed much.

Anyway, by the next Friday, I was better and could make it over to Takato's. It was the last week of our summer break and I decided I had to make it count. I took my favorite route, basically down one road until the end, a left turn and about fifty meters and I was there. I paused outside for a second to take in the smell, then headed in. Takato's mum called me over from the counter. She lifted the counted, then let me through to see Takato.

When I arrived, I realized how clean his room was, with the exception of his desk which was covered in drawings and other things, as well as a rather chunky device. The screen was circular and had a yellow band with some strange symbols on it. He walked in then. "So, what do you want to do? I've got a Wii..." He started.

"That sounds good." I said before grabbing a remote off his bedside table. "Got any good racing games?" He grinned and pulled one out. After a while, with a score of twenty six to me and fourteen to him, he gave up."You are definitely better at this than me. How about a different game?" He pulled out another and put it in. Five minutes later we were fighting it out with characters that did what every good cartoon character should. Defy the laws of Physics. We enjoyed the game for a good few hours before we broke for lunch. It was, fairly predictably, sandwiches with a choice of several fillings. I had cheese while he had peanut butter. He explained the choice was down to an old friend. He never had anything different. He did his familiar super goofy grin, then lead me back to his room where we played some board games. I made him broke in Monopoly, he caught me in Mouse Trap and we both failed with Trivial Pursuit. I left at about six, getting a text half-way home from Izumi asking where I was. I told her I was at a friend's and finished the walk uneventfully. Next Thursday was the first day back at school. He was looking forwards to it, and then new friend he had unexpectedly run into.

I would normally use the English names for characters but decided not to for this. Also, I meant for this to be a one-shot but decided against it. Sorry for the short first chapter.

Yay! I discovered how the lines work!
