Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, they belong to people with a lot more money than I do.

This is a story that been on my hard drive for years. Something I been working on over periods of time. I wanted to finish the whole thing before I posted it. Due to me hardly working on it after a bit, I decided to start posting to see if people reading it will motive me into posting.

I'm using Japanese terms and names. So, anything that confuses you, just look it up on Wikimon or other Digimon wiki sites to help you out. I know it will be a tad confusing, as it was when I started to write it.

Anyway, I hope you guys will enjoy this and please tell me what you think, if I am on the right track and such.

Digimon Adventure: Second Reality

~ Prologue Episode ~

Onward! To Adventure!

"I don't want to go to camp!"

She lost the number of times she said this as she watch her parents zip up the bag with her clothing for the next two weeks inside of it. Her own backpack filled with her own things like her magazines, with some camp items that her dad said she should have like a first aid kid. If only her mum would let her bring her CD player and CDs to play her music.

This whole trip was going to be boring.

"Jun, I am not repeating myself again, you're going."

"Kaasan! Daisuke isn't going! Why should I?" asked Jun, stood there with her arms over her chest, ready to fight this out. Punches would be throw as Daisuke continued to make faces at her. He might be sick still, green around the gills but he still managed enough energy to laugh and make faces at her.

"If you were up half the night over the toilet, you wouldn't be going either," Motomiya Akiko said to her daughter, "But you weren't, so you're going. You need to get out more and get some fresh air anyway."

"None, I repeat none of my friends are going! I ain't going to know anyone there," huffed Jun.

"Not true! Taichi and Hikari are going!" said Daisuke as he poked himself up from the couch as he let off a cough.

If looks could kill, Jun would have killed Daisuke ten times over when he brought up their neighbors. She had nothing against Hikari, she was a sweet girl and always seem to be polite. It was that loud mouth of a brother she had, Yagami Taichi. Boy sure got on her nerves.

"Well, Hikari-chan isn't going from what Yuuko says she got that bug that is going around like Daisuke," Akiko countered, "But I know for a fact, that Toshiko is sending Sora-chan to the very same camp. So there will be some of your classmates there."

Like that would make her feel better. Jun huffed once more as she knew she was in for a bored summer now.

"I don't want you to go…"

Ichijouji Osamu sighed as he looked at the doorway. Ken stood there, wrapped up in the blanket he had wore all day. It was such bad timing, both boys had looked forward to this summer camp their papa had gotten them into for weeks. They were going to get away from the city and Osamu felt that he was going to get away from the whole fame issue. For once, he hoped that he and Ken could be normal kids for once. At least, that was the plan until Ken woke up with a sore throat and fever.

"Hey, Ken-chan, I won't be gone for long," said Osamu with a smile, "It is just for a bit, and beside you can have the room all by yourself, computer too, and no dealing with my snoring."

Ken gave a small smile with a cough, "You don't snore."

"Says you," said Osamu as he ruffled the younger boy's hair, "I'll take a lot of pictures and tell you tons of stories when I get back. If you are feeling better, than I'll take you out for ice cream and tell you all about it."

"Promise?" asked Ken, his eyes full of hope at the promise of time to spend together with his big brother.

"Sure," said Osamu as he lifted his shoulder bag, filled with books and papers, "Of course I promise."

Ken held out his hand, formed into a fist as he held out his pinkie to his brother, "Pinkie promise?"

All Osamu could do was smile as he formed the same with his own hand, wrapped his own little finger with his brother as they shook on it, "Pinkie promise."

That seem to make Ken a bit more at ease as he continue to smile, sniffle still, but he still smile. At least until their mother poked her head into their room, "Osamu, are you almost ready to go soon?"

"Yes…" he said. Letting go of Ken's hand, he grabbed his bags and moved on out of the room. The smile that was on his little brother's face disappeared as he stood back as he watch Osamu leave their room.

"Awww, going off on your own for the first time," Ichijouji Honoka cooed, scooped up Osamu in a large hug, "I promise myself I wouldn't cry."

The lack of air and movement got to Osamu as he struggled to escape another one of Honoka's hugs. He was sick of them and he was only going to be gone for a bit. Beside, Ken was sick, he was the one that needed the attention, not him. He was glad to be going to camp, he could get away from this attention and be normal for once.

He would be glad to have just a boring summer for once.

"Come on, Jun. It isn't going to be that bad."

Jun pouted at Sora, "Says you, you like being outdoors and such," she said, her arms over her chest as he lifted her backpack, "I hate camping period. There is going to be bugs."

Sora chuckle as Jun shivered at the mere thought of all those insects out there. No words were further exchanged as the large mass of kids continue to chatter and shout away as they all started to load on to the bus, "You got bug spray and your swimsuit, right? I heard there is suppose to be a lake so we can spend the time swimming."

Jun's eyes brighten up a bit at the idea, "Now, that is an idea I can get behind," she said, finally a smile came on to her face, "Now if there was a way-"

"Sora! Hey!"

"-to avoid Taichi," sighed Jun as the familiar goggle wearing boy popped with that stupid dobby grin on his face came up to them.

"I didn't know you were coming to camp too, Jun?" asked Taichi.

"Neither did I," snorted Jun, "Daisuke was suppose to come too, but he got that bug that your sister got."

That got was enough to drop the smile from Taichi face. It was only for a second as he laugh, rubbed the back of his head, "I hear it was spreading around. It seems everyone in her class got it."

"Either way, I am with you monkeys for the next two weeks," said Jun.

"It is going to be fun, with the hiking, and swimming, not to mention soccer," said Taichi with a cheer.

Jun merely rolled her eyes as Sora laugh at Taichi's actions as they all climbed on to the bus. There were more shouts on inside of the bus. Some of the kids were as excited as Taichi, others didn't look like they wanted to be here or were nervous to be going. Jun let her eyes drifted around as she looked for a free seat. Some blonde was comforting a smaller kid that could be his brother, another girl with some kind of pink cowboy hat waving out the window, crying. Some tall kid with glasses was into his bag, and mumbling to himself. Was that redhead kid on a laptop? How could he bring a whole computer and she couldn't bring her CD player?

"So unfair," mumbled Jun as she and Sora sat down. Taichi headed off as he found some of his soccer club friends on the bus and went to chat with them.

"Are you still upset about going to camp? It isn't going to be that bad, you know," said Sora.

"No, no," said Jun with a shake of her head, "Some kid has their computer and I wasn't allowed to bring my Walkman. Mum thought I was going to break it. Come on, as if. I ain't Daisuke."

"It isn't like you could play it all the time. Can you image the amount of batteries you would need?" asked Sora.

"I guess," said Jun, shuck lower into her seat.

She was getting use to the sound of everyone around her, just mindless chatting with Sora over school and other mindless junk. At least, until the whole bus became silent, the chatter had stopped without a warning. She looked away at Sora and both girls stared at the front of the bus to see what was going on. Both join the rest of the kids with wide eyes at who had just gotten on their bus.

"Isn't that Ichijouji Osamu? That genius kid from Tamachi?" asked Jun.

"I think so…I didn't think he would be coming to our camp…" said Sora.

"I know, maybe space camp or something special camp for eggheads," asked Jun, "I bet he just some stuck up snob anyway…hope I don't have to get to share a group with him."

"Jun…" hissed Sora as if he could hear them.

"Please, you know it could be true. He's always on TV, everyone talks about him. He should have a head the size of Taichi's hair."

"I heard that his parents were aliens…"

"Isn't he supposed to be like in America for the summer, working on some big computer project?"

"…the prime minister called him to balance his check book…"

He was a genius, he wasn't deaf or blind. Osamu had good bye to his parents, to Ken one last time before he headed on to the bus. The moment he step on to it, all the talking had stopped and he felt every single one of those eyes set on him. He started to felt that this was a bad idea, that he wished Ken never got sick and could be with him, someone that he knew that he could count on that these stupid rumors weren't true. As he thought of his brother, Osamu had to wonder if Ken would just be as awkward as him with all of this attention.

Ok, ok, all he had to do was find a seat and just keep to himself for the trip. God, it was going to be a long trip if he was going to be stared at this for the whole time. He spotted one and thank goodness it was with some boy with his nose in a laptop. He walked over and cough a bit, "Excuse me is anyone seating here?"

"No, help yourself,' said the boy as he didn't bother to look up from his screen.

Osamu blinked as the noise around the bus returned as he stood a seat, dug into his bag to pull out one of his books. He barely noticed when the bus was full and all the kids were on board on the other chartered buses, that they started to head out. The attention was on his book and the noise was just buzz in the background. He didn't pay much attention to the kids that tried to his attention from across the aisle, from the seat behind and in front of him. It was simple to do and if he didn't pay attention to them, they would just move on to something else.

Maybe that is why he has that rumor of being a snob?

"Excuse me….Aren't you Ichijouji Osamu?"

That voice came from his seat mate that time. They had been on the bus for about an hour and he hadn't heard a single word from the boy other than the clicking on the keyboard from the laptop. Didn't he realize who he was seating next to earlier?

"Ah…Yes…" mumbled Osamu as he turned back to his book and hoped that would be the end of it.

"Your program that won the Jyonan University Computer Programming contest last month was quite brilliant. I didn't think of using that stream of algorithm."

That brought Osamu up in his seat as he looked over at his seat mate, "Really?" he asked more in shock that someone compliment like that…from someone his own age. He was so use to adults praising him and others his age didn't understand what he was saying. But…

"Oh yes," the red head smiled, "I am Izumi Koushiro, it's nice to make your acquaintance."

"You as well," he said as the two fell into a pleasant conversation for the rest of the trip.

Maybe camp wouldn't be so bad if he could be in the same group with Koushiro.

Agur, this was the painful part. Jun bit her lip as she waited for the adults in charge of this place to get them all sorted out into their groups. She watch as everyone head out into every which way, talking on top of their lungs. It was hard for the counselors to get a word in each wise.

"Attention! Kids! Group Seven, if you hear your name called!"

"This is going to take forever," she mumbled.

"It is taking a while, but it can't be much longer," said Sora, "Though, it would have worked a lot better if they posted the groups."

"Listen! When I call your name, come and get your supplies and tent!"

"And you think they would have adults assign to each group," said Jun.

"You want someone looking over your shoulder?" asked Sora with a smirk.

"Ah…"

"Ichijouji, Osamu!"

"Well, there is one group I don't want to get into…"

"Jun, be nice."

"Ishida, Yamato! Izumi, Koushiro!"

"What? He is just egg-"

"Motomiya, Jun!"

"Crap…" mumbled Jun as her name was called. So, she was with the group that was call. She turned around to see Sora was trying to hide the laughter from her but it didn't really work all that well, "Oh laugh it up."

"It isn't so bad, maybe we will get to be in the same group?" she offered.

"Kido, Jou! Tachikawa, Mimi!"

"Maybe," sighed Jun as she picked up her stuff as she took to pushing against the crowd to get to her group. It was not hard to figure out as she knew the stupid genius snob, and other kids were coming to the area. None of them were familiar to her as friends, just faces she might have seen on the bus.

"Takaishi, Takeru!"

"Onii-chan!"

Someone was happy to be in this group as Jun was almost run over by some little kid. She tried to be pissed off but seeing a cute little kid hugging one of the boys in her group…it was kind of sweet. Not that she should say anything about it.

"Takenouchi, Sora!"

Oh! This was luck as Sora followed on behind Jun, "See, I told you we would get into the same group."

"Maybe you said," said Jun with a smile becoming bigger, "Still glad you are here."

"Yagami, Taichi! Ok! That's It! Group Eight! List-"

"…And it just got better," moaned Jun as Taichi, dragged his bags behind him right up to join the group.

"Isn't this great?! We are all in the same group," laugh Taichi, "This is going to be the best summer ever."

Jun merely rolled her eyes once more as Sora chuckle, "Anyway, we better head to our tent."

"Right, and then we should all go exploring," he declared as he rush to introduce himself to the rest of their group, talking to the others of their group.

"He doesn't stop, does he?" asked Jun.

"Not for as long as I known him," said Sora as the two girls trailed after the rest of the newly formed group.

"We are supposed to stay at the camp! We shouldn't be heading off without the adults knowing!"

It was somewhat amazing how Osamu became use to these other kids. They didn't seem to be that interested in him. They did ask as everyone put their bags away, Mimi and Jou did, but that was it. Everyone else got caught up in this boy that wore goggle's excitement, his will to explore the area. Osamu had to admit, it was a bit catchy as even Koushiro gather up his laptop, he grabbed his own shoulder bag and followed the rest of the group.

"Jou, don't be a stick in the mud," laugh Taichi as they climbed up the hill.

"Taichi, you sure that this is ok?" asked Sora, a girl with a blue hat that Osamu met. She seemed nice enough, though the spikey hair girl she was with appeared to be a bit of a loud mouth.

"It is the first day of camp! We should explore the area!"

"I don't want to go hiking! I want to sleep!" cried Mimi, another girl in their group that seem to have a fondness for pink.

"You can later, this is going to be fun," said Taichi as he continue to head into the forest. No one thought anymore of it as while others protest, they still followed their 'leader' into the forest. It was interesting and Osamu wanted to explore the area anyway. He could get some good shots to show Ken when he got home of the place they were staying at. He took out his brand new digital camera and started to take shots of the trees and mountains in the area.

"Look!"

At the shout, Osamu turned around with the camera still in hand as he spotted where everyone else was going to. It was a small Shrine on top of a large hill. It was something that he didn't think would be here as he took a picture of it.

"Great! What a good place to explore!" laugh Taichi as he head off on his own.

Everyone pretty much split up right around than. Osamu and Koushiro headed up the stone steps to the Shrine and sat down. Koushiro brought out his laptop and started to type away at it as Osamu held on to his camera.

"This is quite a lovely sight," sighed Osamu as he lean back, looking at the sky.

"It is a nice day so far," said Koushiro, "Should be for the rest of the week. It calling for sun."

"That is good, I was hoping to take a lot of pictures."

The redhead nodded his head as he continue to work. At the distance of the other's laughter, Osamu lay back on the wooden floor that surrounded the outside of the shrine. It was peaceful up here and it would be find to spread a bit of time before they headed back to the main camp. He was settle down enough until he felt something cold touch his cheek.

"Huh?" he asked as he reach to touch his cheek and looked up at the sky.

Snow?

TO BE CONTINUE...

~ Episode 01 ~

Surprise! New Found World!

The sky went dark at that moment and a dark hole in the sky appeared like the one back at camp. Jun stared up at it and thought only for a bit that something bad was going to happen, that they were going to be in trouble once more.
