He was walking around the airport looking at the gate signs looking for one that said

Tokyo japan. Jake White was a teenager at the age of 16, he was average height for his

age, he had dirty blonde hair and had hazel eyes. He came up to his gate and sighed a bit,

all he brought with him was one suitcase and a carry on he usually packed light, but he

shouldve packed more since he was going to be in japan for quite some time.

"Well... To late to turn back now," Jake wasn't only going to Japan just for fun, he

was chosen for this transfer program because he had the heighest grades in his class and

the state. that's why he was going to japan, but he had to leave during the summer so that

he could get use to the living style. It also helps that he convinced his teachers to let

him leave 3 months earlier.

"FLIGHT FOR JAPAN BOARDING NOW," some loud lady said on the intercom.

"Okay Jake let's make America proud! Or at least my parents." Jake disregarded the

last comment he made and walked up to his gate. He didn't see anyone at the desk like

there usually was, all that was there was a computer scanner. He assumed that he could

just walk on through. Placing the ticket on the scanner the computer allowed him to pass,

even though there was really nothing stopping him from just going on in.

When Jake walked through the terminal, he got on the plane, and to his surprise

saw only six other teens were on the plane. Jake decided to say nothing to other knowing

that he would never see them again. He walked to a seat somewhere in the middle close to

the front. He placed his suitcase inside the small container above his seat and sat down.

The young man took a quick peek behind his seat, the young children behind him

looked 15 some 16. A few were girls and the others were men, Jake noticed something rather

small and furry move behind their feet, but he assumed it was just a figment of his

imagination.

Soon a voice sounded over the intercom," Will everyone please be seated we will be

leaving shortly."

Jake raised an eyebrow, taking off for a flight was never this easy. There had to be

some catch, he began to wonder why there was only 6 people on the plane, let alone

children. Something didn't feel right to him. Soon the plane took off, they had all been

in the air for about 20 minuets and no one had come out to offer any refreshments. " Hmmm

something doesnt feel right.."

Suddenly a young girl popped out of nowhere," Hello!"

"GAHH!" Jake was pulled from his deep thinking and freaked out in his chair.

"Oh..Im sorry. Did i scare you?" the young girl chuckled a bit. She had brown hair,

and beautiful eyes, she had a small camera around her neck, and her outfit was a little

interesting. "My name's Kari what's yours?"

"My name's Jacob White, but i prefer to be called jake." Jake said re-adjusting

himself in his seat since he nearly fell out.

"Hmm..Jake huh? That's a nice name, it's nice to meet ya!" Kari said to him with a

beautiful smile on her face

Jake looked at her and seemed to blush a bit," yeah it's nice to meet you to."

She wanted to introduce some of the other kids that seemed to be her friends. "hey guys

come over here!" "Yeah Kari what is it? So this is the kid that-?" It was a young man,

about the same age as him wearing a tan hat but he was interuppted by a hit to the side, "

Ow! but anyways My names T.K.!"

" It's nice to meet ya my name's Jake," he was talking but still wondering why they

were the only ones there.

"Hey TK? Do you know why were the only kids on this plane?" Jake asked looking at him

like he had all the answers.

"Oh i wouldnt worry about it, by the way my name is Cody," said another child a little

shorter then TK ," Just enjoy the ride."

'They seem to understand what's going on...but they wont tell me...why..' Jake thought to

himself.

"Well Let me introduce you to the rest of my friends." Kari said. She pointed to a purple

colored hair boy who was wearing what appeared to be a soccer uniform. " This is Ken."

Then she pointed to another purple haired person but this person was no he, she was a she.

" This is Yolie."

"It's a pleasure." Ken said.

"Nice to meet ya Jake." Yolie said, she seemed like one of those tom-boys.

"It's nice to meet you both as well." Jake said to them both."Oh since we seem to be

friends of some sort, would you guys like to see some drawings? I mean it's better then

standing here awkwardly." Jake said pulling out a folder marked Digital Monsters, and

pulled out some of his work.

"Wow these are really good Jake!" Kari said adoring the beautiful pictures.

"th...thanks Kari. This is just some scenery work I do. Alot of stuff I draw from my

dreams, oh including these monsters."

"hey Jeff why did you call your folder this?" asked TK

"well that's what they called themselves in my dreams. " Jake opened his folder and pulled

out some paper that had some drawings on it. " Here are some of my favorites." Jake pulled

out a piece of paper that had a monster on it that they all recognized.

"uh that's nice, looks really familiar. You sure youve never seen him before?" it was a

little blue dragon with a white stomach and ears that looked like shoes.

"I'm still trying to figure out a name for him, but i'll find one at some point."

"yeah... yeah I'm positive you will!" Kari said trying to hold the fact that the monster

was actually a digimon and that the digimon's name was demiveemon. "so Jake what brings to

you to japan?"

"oh um foreign exchange student thing. I think I'm going to Higashi High."

"hey that's the same school We go to. Guess that makes us classmates," said Ken, he had

a grin on his face which made it where Jake couldn't help but smile as well.

"yeah yeah it does!"

So the six of them had started a very long conversation telling Jake what to expect

when he starts going to school. Soon the object of conversation turned to Jake's living

place.

" where am i going to live, oh with some kid named Davis."

"WHAT?!" everyone said in shock.

"yeah some other guy is gonna give me a tour of the city."

" well after he's done we'll give you a good tour." tk said laughing. Jake and

everyone else joined in laughing with him.

So they continued to talk about what to expect in japan, they talked about food,

stores, and all that jazz, they talked and talked till it was 9:30pm. "wow guess it takes

a while to get from America to japan." said Jeff looking out the plane window and see

nothing but water underneath them along with some clouds.

" well you guest right," said Cody," it's gonna be a few more hours till we get to japan

so I suggest we all get some shut eye." Everyone nodded in agreement, except Jake.

" you guys go ahead, I've got a couple of things I've got to do on my computer."

"ok but don't be afraid to ask for help," Ken said, he smiled at Jeff and he and the team

walk back to their seats and laid down. All the lights were off except for the dim light

of jeff's computer screen.

"Looks like he's pretty focused," Kari said looking at Jake.

"Well he's probably hard at work, on some art project," TK said," look he has a little

tablet out. Well we shouldnt worry about let's go to sleep." TK rolled over and closed his

eyes, everyone soon followed that example, except for Kari.

" I really have to find out what he is doing," she always had a curiosity about the new

kid all the time. She slowly crept from her seat and over to where Jake was seated. She

carefully looked over Jake's shoulder and saw an amazing piece of work.

It was a picture of Jake holding a cute little demiveemon that was smiling right at him in

the picture. The two were staring at each other, with happy content smiles. "Aww- " Kari

was cut off by evil laughter which awoke everyone including Jake.

"MWUAHAHAHA! Foolish digidestined! You thought you destroyed me! But you were

wrong! I cherubimon will never be destroyed!"

Jake was afraid but filled with something he had felt before but not this emensely, this

feeling was courage. "You don't scare me!" Jake spoke agianst cherubimon. "I don't

know who these digidestined are, but if they can scare you enough into hiding they must be

stronger then you!"

"You! Who are you? You are not a digidestined but no matter, your words mean nothing.

Prepare for an early landing!" with that the airplane began to fall , and was falling

fast.

"GUYS DIGIVICES! NOW!" TK screamed out. The other four pulled out their DIGIVICES with

TK and yelled out," Digi armour energize!"

All Jake could hear was tiny voices growing gruffer, he was to busy trying to stuff

everything into his bookbag, his laptop ,art and other simple things. He clenched it tight

to his chest, knowing he was about to die.

But fate had different plans, Jake felt something pull him in, it felt cold like metal

armor. Jake opened his eyes and saw himself flying over the water, going very fast

actually. He looked up and saw a bug mask, although it looked very real! "Okay Everyone

Tokyo is just a few miles away," Ken pointed towards Tokyo airport.

"Alright! Let's fly low and land over there." TK shout to his fellow friends. Jake looked

over to the source of his voice and found a giant Pegasus.

"A Pegasus?THAT TALKS?! That's it I've been drugged!" with that after about twenty minuets

they landed near Tokyo airport. The large bug man whom was called stingmon put Jake down,

and Ken dismounted.

All the other monsters as he would call them shrank down into something more cute and

friendly. "Good job team!" said TK ." Now we have another issue to take care of...him..."

TK pointed towards Jake.

"What the hell just happened!"

"Hey not right now! Davis can explain it when he gets there." Kari scolded TK. "Let's go"

they all picked up their monsters in their arms and began to walk off with Jeff following

behind them. Soon the were at the entrance of the airport waiting for their ride.

"So jeff now that you know they exist let me introduce you to our digimon." Kari smiled at

Jake. "This is my digimon Gatomon," she was holding a white cat in her arms that had

yellow gloves with claws on them.

"It's nice to met you," Gatomon said to Jake purring in her holders arms.

"Well this is my -" Cody was interrupted by his digimon's automatic response.

"HEYA my names Armadillomon! Its a pleasure to meet ya!" he was a loud guy, and had a

texas accent.

"Hi my names wormmon, it's a pleasure." a green and strange looking worm to him, he was

very polite and sounded a little nervous.

"My name is hawkmon it is a pleasure." a very polite bird said to me as he bowed.

"my names patamon!" a happy digimon said flying around our heads.

"Well now that all the introductions are outta the way, does anyone know where tai is? He

was suppose to come and picks us up 30 minutes ago." Kari said tapping her foot

impatiently.

Soon they heard tires screeching and a large van heading their way. "That's odd why is tai

driving the van? We only have 5 people with us." TK questioned.

"Maybe he's picking up an extra person." Cody suggested.

Tai drove up to where the team was standing, and got outta the car, with a large sign.

"Hey tai!" Kari said to her big brother.

"Hey little sis'." he smiled at her." Now we can leave as soon as our extra gets here.

Tai took the sign from under his arm and raised it in the air. The sign read 'RIDE FOR

JAKE WHITE' in Japanese and English.

They all looked at the sign," Oh so that's why you drove the van."

"Yup, now can you guys help me look out for a foreigner? He's blonde, 16 years old ,5'6" ,

and is American." tai said looking around for his passenger.

"That would be me! I'm your extra.." Jake said to tai.

"Oh hehehe... Sorry I didn't see you there." tai rubbed the back of his head laughing

weekly.

"Well now that everyone's here ... PILE UP IN THE VAN!" tai yelled and pointed to the

large veichile.

All the digimon ran to the car and got in.

"Hey Jake why don't you sit up front?" tai offered to him.

"Sure." Jake walked up and sat in the rather comfy front seat.

"Excuse me, pardon me you mind if I sit up there with ya?" armadillomon said to Jake.

"Sure I don't mind." Jake started to scoot over but the large digimon just walked over and

laid down on his lap.

"Man I sure am tired." with that armadillomon passed out.

"Umm okay then." Jake rested a hand on his shell and also fell asleep it had been a long

day. It was still night time, at least 1 o'clock in the morning.

Tai kept driving for about thirty minutes until he stopped at a large apartment building.

"Hey jake wake up we're here." tai shook his shoulder gently.

"Huh?" Jake woke up slowly and look at the large building. He looked in awe of how many

floors there were. "So uh which floor does he live on?"

"The 30th floor. And that's pretty high up." Tai smiled looking up, he got out of the car

and stretched a bit. "Well come on grab your bags."

Jake was about to get up until he realized there was still a large and heavy digimon in

his lap. He picked him up got out of the car and sat him in the front seat. He grabbed his

single bag that had his laptop and artwork. "Oh right I forgot..."

"Is that all you brought?" tai questioned Jake's tiny pack.

"no our plane was attack by this jerk cherubimon. I swear if I ever see that guy I will

beat him up."

"Ch..Cherubimon?!" tai said in shock. "we..well anyways let's get you to your new house

buddy."

Tai motioned for Jake to follow him up to the large building and inside. He walked up to

an intercom device and pressed a button.

"Hey Davis? It's me Tai!" he said letting go of the button.

"Hey Tai. What's up?" a young male voice said in response.

"Your new roommate is here."

"Alright!"

"Hey me and my family have a surprise waiting for him so send him up! I can't wait any

longer man!" Davis whispered to Tai.

"Alright we're on our way!" tai left the intercom and dragged Jake to the elevator.

They both got in and tai pressed the button that caused the elevator to go up and was

going to the 30th floor.

"Hey tai?"

"Yeah what is it Jake?"

"Do you know what digimon are?"

"Huh? Well..Yeah I do. I have my own partner as well."

"Well ive been having dreams...and i didn't know digimon existed until the plane

accident."

"Don't worry We'll sort this thing out."

Soon the elevator reached the 30th floor, and they walked out te opened doors and to Davis

apparent apartment.

"well knock on the door. The aren't gonna bite your hand off." Tai chuckled at his sense

of humor.

Jeff smiled a little and slowly knocked on the door,"Hello?" the door opened as he knocked

on it. It was dark and there wasn't a single peep outta the house.

"Go on." tai said.

"O..okay." he walked inside the dark room with tai behind him.

Suddenly the lights turned on and there was a loud popping sound,"SURPRISE WELCOME!" A

young man wearing goggles on his head yelled.

"AHHhhh hello!" Jeff said really surprised and not expecting the sudden noise.

"Uh Davis were is your family?"

"Well they went out on a trip. So I'm home alone."

"Well Davis this Jeff, Jeff Davis."

"Hey Jeff it's nice to meet you."

"Like wise." Jeff said to him.

"Hey Davish can I come out now?" a rough voice said as if coming from nowhere.

"Veemon! Shhh.. He doesn't know-"

"Don't worry ive had my encounters with digimon." Jake said inturrupting him.

"Yeah!" the voice emerged bouncing across the room to Davis' side. It was a blue looking

dragon thing, it had a white stomach and a yellow v on its head.

"hey...that looks like something from my dream." Jake dugged through his back pack and

pulled out a sketch of Veemon kicking a tree, with a funny looking digimon with really

long ears, and another black digimon really tall and had armour everywhere.

"Wow! Davis! He drew me!" Veemon said looking at the drawing in admiration.

"Yeah he did."

So they had a miniature party and veemon fawned all over Jake and begged him to draw him

more. Tai and Davis talked about soccer but Jeff Zoned out when sports was brought into

the conversation.

"Hey! Jake! Can I show you around?" veemon begged Jeff with pleading eyes.

"Sure." Jeff smiled and shrugged," why not."

Veemon grabbed Jeff's hand but before he could even go anywhere a bright light emerged

from veemon and Jeff's hand

"GAH! WHATS GOING ON?!" Jake said loudly, ofcourse the light attracted Davis and Tai's

attention.

Veemon let go of his hand, but it was still shining brightly," IM SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN

TO!"

Suddenly out of nowhere three lights emerged from Davis' computer, and they were heading

straight to Jake. The light in Jake's hand had emerged and turned into an odd looking

device that Jake had never seen before, and the three lights slowed down and landed at his

feet and they turned into three very large eggs, like eggs on stereroids.

Soon all the calamity had settled down," What the heck just happened?" Jake questioned.

"WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED!"

"Jake calm down!" Tai said." See that digivice in your hand? It means youve been chosen as

a digidestined. And those three eggs? Those are apparently your digimon."

"But why does he have three digimon?" Davis said scratching the back of his head.

Soon the eggs began to hatch, while The guys were talking. The only people watching was

Jake and Veemon.

The first egg hatched into a red digimon it looked rather like a small red dragon. It had

three black fingers, and had a dragon shaped head with a large red v on it.

"What kinda digimon is that?!" tai said shocked, he had never seen this digimon before in

his life.

"My name is Shoutmon! And don't forget it!" the digimon said with a rather obnoxious tone

in his voice.

Soon the other egg hatched as well, a funny looking rabbit came out. It had long ears and

had tan skin with green stripes on his body and ears,"Hi there my names terriermon!" the

strange digimon said, it hopped up and landed on Jake's head," So your my partner?"

"Well I guess were sharing this human." Shoutmon said patting Jake's leg.

"Yeah it looks like you'll have to share with a third!" Jeff said as he pointed to the

black digi-egg with a strange symbol on it.

"Hey tai? Doesn't that look like wargreymon's symbol?" Davis said.

"Yeah it does."

Soon the egg began to glow and crack open revealing a large digimon. It was black and

covered in armour it was like an anthro dragon going to battle.

"I..I'm alive?" the digimon said looking at his hands , which appeared to look like armour

with three claws at the end. "But how is this possible? I used the last of my energy to

protect the gate! Does this mean I've failed?"

"Blackwargreymon! You're alive!" davis screamed. "No you didn't fail! We saved the

world thanks to you!"

"Davis? Then why am I back?" he looked around the room and saw a strange human child

looking at him with awe. "Who is this child?"

"Apperently your new partner. You only showed up because he was here." tai said pointing

to Jeff.

"I-I have a partner? I shall serve you sir with all my might!" he said bowing to Jake.

"May I ask your name sir?"

"Uhm my names Jake," he said to the large digimon.

"It is a pleasure to be your partner master Jake!" he said bowing his head.

"Um please just call me Jake."

"as you wish." Blackwargreymon said respectfully to Jake.

"well he sure had a change in character." tai whispered to Davis.

Jake was now surrounded by three creatures whom had come into the real world because of

him.

"Hey Jake? where's all your stuff?" Davis asked Jake as he only saw a single backpack with

him.

"In the ocean." Jake said flatly.

"What?!" Davis said to him.

Jake proceded to tell Davis the story of how he met everyone on the plane and how a

digimon named cherubimon had destroyed their plane. How he met everyone's digimon, and how

he met kari and the others, but in retrospect he probably should've said that part first.

"So that's what happened...guess that explains why you only have one bag." Davis said

sympathetically.

"Don't worry Jake we'll get that jerk!" Shoutmon said with a powerful pose."He won't know

what hit him."

"Yay!" terriermon shouted on top of Jake's head, but he felt a little grumbling come from

his tummy."Hey jake hows about some food for your favorite digimon." he sAid cutely.

"How about I make food for all you?" Jake said getting up.

"Oh no let me do it." Davis said.

"No it's alright Davis I love to cook."

"HE'S AN ARTIST AND A COOK! JAKE YOU'RE AWESOME!" veemon said jumping around like spazz.

"What does everyone one wanna eat?" Jake asked looking around the room for suggestions.

"Hamburgers!" Everyone said in unison.

"Alright hamburgers it is. Davis can you show me where the food, pans, spices are?"

"sure thing!" Davis showed Jake where all of things he needed were. Soon the room was

filled with the sweet delicious smell of hamburgers. Jake continued to cook everyone's

hamburgers like an expert, guess all that take-home chef shows helped in the long run.

Jake set up the hamburgers all fancy looking."alright everyone dinners done." everyone

gathered around the table, except BLackwargreymon. "hey um Blackwargreymon? Why aren't you

smaller like the others?"

"Well..I never had a rookie form. I was created as an ultimate." he said a bit saddened.

"well I don't think that's fair," he walked up to the digimon and placed a hand on his

digizoid armour."Well I'll try to get you a smaller form, don't worry!" Jake smiled and

gave Blackwargreymon a plate and sat back in his seat.

"So Jake you're an artist?" Shoutmon asked while he had half the hamburger inside his

mouth.

"Yeah, I've drawn a lot of digimon I've seen in my dreams." he showed Shoutmon all the

pictures he had drawn, they all had terriermon, veemon, Blackwargreymon, everyone except

Shoutmon.

"I..I don't see me." Shoutmon said sadly as he looked through all the pictures, which

means this would've been the first time jake had ever seen him.

"Oh your right... Well I guess I'll have to draw you after dinner." he said while eating

his hamburger.

Shoutmon's face lit up," Alright!"

After about a total of one hour had passed by Tai suddenly remembered that he had some

unfinished business,"Well I better get going I have a van of sleepy people." tai said,"

See ya guys later." with that he left the building.

Soon after that everyone finished their meals and Davis washed the dishes. Jake sat down

and drew Shoutmon a couple times, and the others together.

"Thanks Jake! It looks awesome!" Shoutmon said happily as he looked at the picture of him

and his fellow partners.

While his friends were chatting and such, Jake looked down at his digivice, and examined

it. He looked it up and down, he looked down the card slide wondering why that was there,

"why do I have a digivice?"

"It means you're a digidestined, but it doesn't look like any digivice I've ever seen."

Davis looked at the odd device. It looked kinda like his digivice, but it had something

that looked like a strainer on top of it, and it had a slit on it's side. "I wonder what

these are for."

Jake yawned loudly, he was ready to go to sleep he had a very busy day. He was about to

ask davis where he could sleep but he felt his phone ring, he answered the phone,"Hey

mom."

"Hey Hunny you get there okay?" she asked very worriedly.

"Yeah..I had a bit of trouble but I'm fine." he decided that he should keep the digimon

thing a secret.

"It's such a shame you had to leave the day before your birthday."

"Yeah I forgot my birthday is tomorrow, oh well. I don't need a celebration." Jake said

with a slight chuckle.

"Well okay...good night sweetie. And happy birthday."

"thanks mom, I love you to." he said to his mother and finished the call. He looked up and

felt a bit of tears weld up in his eyes, but when he saw all eyes were on him, he quickly

rid himself of his tears.

"your birthday is tomorrow Jake?" Davis said to him surprised, he had just finished doing

the dishes and was whiping his hands on his shirt.

"Yeah but it's no big deal." he went to rub his head but instead he rubbed the furry bunny

on the top of his skull."Um well I'm tired! I'm gonna go to sleep." Jeff went to the couch

inside the livingroom, and laid down. Terriermon flew off and landed on Blackwargreymon's

shoulder.

"Hey Jake you don't have to sleep there." Davis said a little irritated.

"It's okay I'm really tired I'm gonna sleep here for tonight." he closed his eyes and soon

fell asleep.

"Wow he's stubborn." veemon said.

"Just like you." Davis said.

"Hey! Yeah..yeah your right." veemon Said in return.

"Alright guys! We have to do something for his birthday tomorrow!" Davis said in a low

voice, he looked at jake, knowing he had a very tiring day.

"Good idea! He's our partner and friend! We should do something wether he wants it or

not!" Shoutmon said a bit loud.

"I must thank him for bringing me back to life!" Blackwargreymon stated.

"Alright tomorrow is operation Jake's Birthday!" Davis said quietly to everyone. "

Everyone get some sleep i need to make a few calls. I'll wake you up when i need you,"

Davis said walking to the phone.

With that dismissal, all of jake's digimon walked over to him and slept close to him,

keeping him safe and warm.
