Disclaimer: in my own little world, i own Digimon. Then again, in that same little world, Digimon is real. In this world, i am not so lucky.
Author's Note: This is my first attempt at WRITING a fanfic- I've been creating them for years, but never wrote them out. Please Review, please be nice. also, the Original Character is for now Kari's best friend- they've been friends for years- this is not a fic with random people that are already digidestind-i promise- Pella has never heard of the Digi-world. If i make errors, point them out, please. i will also listen to sugestions- but i do have the ending worked out. There will be a tiny bit of takari- other pairings may show up, but aren't planned at the moment. the reason its AU- I'm setting this slightly after season two- but season two never happend. No Davis, Cody or Yolie, but there will be a digi-egg crest thing. that was your only spoiler.
Pella giggled, sitting next to her best friend, Kari Kamiya. They were sitting front and center, in a crowded auditorium, waiting for the curtain to rise- and the concert to begin.
Not just any concert- but the debut of a mutual friend, Matt Ishida. Matt had decided he wanted to devote his life to music, and some of the guys at his school had the same plan. Tonight was the big night- their first concert.
Kari's older brother, Tai, stood." I'm gonna see if I can catch Matt, wish him luck. Anyone wanna come?" "You go ahead Tai, we'll wait here." Matt's younger brother, T.K replied. He didn't want to miss any of the concert, as he'd only heard the tail end of some of the songs, and wanted to hear them from the beginning.
Tai made his way slowly down the isle. He wanted to wish his friend luck- and also apologize. The friends had shared some harsh words days earlier, and Tai regretted saying them. He slipped backstage, and knocked on the greenroom door- it swung inward. "Hello?" Tai called. The room was empty. "Must have just missed him. I'll catch him after the show." He looked around the room- it was messy, but Matt's new friends were not very neat. That had been part of what they had fought about- Matt spending so much time with his band, ignoring his first friends- the Digidestind. Tai did not see the dark shadow, until it was too late. There was a blinding light, and Tai's world went dark.
"What's taking him?" Kari muttered to herself. Her brother should be back by now- the show was due to start in only a minute or so. She recalled that he and Matt had had a fight the other day- maybe they were sorting it out themselves. "I wish they could have done that last time" she thought, recalling when Matt had tried to, uh, kill Tai in the Digi-world. It hadn't really been his fault, but it had taken Kari's crest of Light to make them cut it out. They had gotten better about fighting, but they still clashed heads from time to time.
"The show should be starting any minute now." T.K. said. Kari looked over at her friend. "Is he as good as he says?"
T.K. laughed. "Almost- I've never heard a whole song- he's pretty secretive about them- but not his talent. We should find out soon enough though." The blonde boy looked at his watch, then double checked. The concert was supposed to have started 5 minutes earlier. What was going on?
A man came onto the stage, and spoke into the microphone. " I am sorry to announce that the show for tonight has been cancelled. Refunds will be handed out at the front doors. We apologize for the inconvenience."
He left as quickly as he had entered.
"Cancelled?" Pella echoed, looking at her friends in confusion. " I wonder why?"
The other shrugged. "I guess we should wait for Tai and Matt here, then." T.K. said, but he glanced worriedly at his wrist watch. One minute passed, then another. Soon, the huge auditorium was empty, and still there was no sign of Tai or Matt.
" I'm going to go look for them- come on!" Kari told her friends. T.K and Pella got to their feet and followed the slight brunette down the same isle Tai had gone down, and entered the green room. Matt's friends were there, looking shaken and confused, but no matter how hard Pella looked, Tai and Matt weren't there.
Kari turned and met T.K.'s eyes with her own, sending a silent message, but what message, Pella did not know. The two turned and fled, Pella at their heels, shouting in vain for Tai and Matt to answer. It was no use- the older brothers weren't in the building. T.K. stopped, panting for air. As if on cue, a faint light shone from his pocket. A light he hadn't seen in four years. The light of a digivice.
This is only the beginning- it will get better/ more intense later. please R&R!
