When the bus doors closed Ryo yelled: "Everybody here?" Rika answered harsh: "Yes Mr. Akiyama Sensei, just like pre-school…" He just ignored her tone and went to her, smiling: "Yeah, I missed you, too, princess." "Just get off my face, Hero-boy!" "Aww, you missed me, too…" That's where Kazu yelled from the back of the bus: "Get a room!" Instantly Rikas face flushed red and she turned to Takato. He just smiled nervously and shrugged his shoulders.

"So, let's start then" the legendary Tamer said while sitting down next to the bus driver and they headed off.

It was quiet for a long time, till Henry started to sing along with Kazu and Kenta. They sang "The Wheels on the bus" Annoyed Rika gritted her teeth and after a little while she punched Henrys arm to make him stop. He just laughed, grinned at her and continued.

Grumbling she took another seat and found herself next to Takato.

Fumbling around with his fingers he said: "`Sup Rika? Can´t stand Henrys beautiful singing?" The sarcasm could be heard clearly. "You could say that…It's even worse than your high pitched voice" she mocked "but seriously, I'm bored and there's still so much time till we arrive…any ideas not to fall asleep around here, gogglehead?" "Well…um…" Takato blushed "We…we could talk…I don't know" "Um…yes…talking…" the color of her face synced with her hairs and they went awkwardly silent.

One seat behind was Jeri and she couldn't handle the situation. It wasn't that she didn't like Rika, in fact they were almost like sisters, but she still loved Takato and she couldn't stand him all over Rika. "What's so special about her? What does she have, that I don't?" She couldn't handle it and screamed: "EW Takato?! Did you just fart?!"

Disgust made its way all over Rikas face and she stood to sit somewhere else. The young man with goggles couldn't move. He was too embarrassed. "Explode somewhere else!" he could hear Kazu laugh. Jeri felt kinda bad for him now, but as long as Rika was off his tail, she was happy.

She went to sit with said red head and smiled: "So, you'll see Renamon again…Are you nervous?" The young woman waved her hand: "Naw. More like excited. I can't wait to reach the campsite and see Henry starting to do his computer magic." She winked.

"What about you, Jeri? Maybe miraculously Leomon comes back." "You think?" The brunettes' eyes lit up. Rika put her left hand on Jeri's thigh: "Hey, you know Henry. If someone can do it, it's him."

Jeri's expression darkened as she clutched her D-Arc in her pocket: "But would it really be MY Leomon?" Her eyes locked empty. "If it's just some data messed up and mixed together, it could be anything but Leomon…" A single tear dropped down on Jeri's lap.

The former Ice Queen placed her left arm protectively over her friends shoulder and spoke softly: "Hey girl, just relax and don't worry too much. Let our brainiac do his thing. Everything will be just fine." Jeri smiled again: "Thanks."

Rika and her had grown closer over the years, but sometimes Jeri became a little bitchy. Especially when they both were around Takato.

Said gogglehead had grown physically but mentally he still was mostly sunken in his day dreams. At that very moment he wondered why Jeri would say something like that, although it was as clear as daylight that Kazu was the one who farted and made fun of it. "Hm…every time I get a chance to talk Rika, Jeri interferes…what the hell?"

He often asked himself, if she hated him. But he knew Jeri wasn't the person to grow hatred against someone. She usually was pretty nice when they were together…as long as Rika wasn't around. "Maybe she's still not over the fact that our dating didn't work out and we broke up over a year ago."

Trying to change his mind he sat down beside Henry: "So mastermind, what's your plan?" The blue haired answered: "I'm going to extract some data out of your D-Arc to locate your Digimon and 'warp' them out of a data stream in the digital world right to our world while using the old arc data Shibumi and the other monster makers used to rescue us from that place last time."

Takato gave his friend a confused look. He just seemed to understand: "Nerd, nerd, nerd…Digimon…nerd, nerd, nerd…monster makers…nerd, nerd."

Trying to get at least a little clear information out of it he suddenly smelled an all too familiar aroma.

In the end of the bus Kazu and Kenta could be heard cheering and giggling like idiots. As Takato and Henry looked over at them they seemed to be hiding something under their seats.

The blue haired ignored his friend talking to him and 'floated' directly to Kazus seat.

"Hey brainiac." Kazu greeted. "Kazu?" Henry asked "you really got some…you know…" Said boys smile widened: "Only the best, bro. Only the best!" "Nice…but you should wait till we've arrived and our Digimon are back and well…I don't wanna mess anything up." The blue haired gave a warm smile and went back to Guilmons tamer.

"Sorry Takato, what were you saying?"
