Hi everybody! How nice of you to come and read my fic!
Author's Supplication: Umm, yeah… Please be so kind as to tell me whether the title makes sense (by the way, the 'run' in the title is the past participle, not the present form) and also if the rating is correct. Please!
Author's Note: I came up with the idea for this fic while I was painting my fingernails. I guess it was triggered by a discussion about Dai's hair colour I sorta started at the Daisuke/Ken Mailing List. Anyway, I remember thinking 'What if Davis changed his hair colour?'. And then my brain started making connections, jumping from one idea to another. And of course, after having such a brilliant idea, I couldn't even start work on it immediately, 'cuz I had to wait for my nail polish to dry!
I think you'll figure out most of the stuff used, just want to tell you that […] is a comment from the author and 'Thunk' signifies that someone has fainted (you'll see that a lot).
Timeline: The action in this fic takes place sometime in the days of the DigimonKaiser, before the Kimeramon thingy. That means it is summer/early automn, plus the day in which this happens is a sunny one. You'll see why I mention this.
Warnings: I don't think I have anything to warn you about… Just that the fic itself is rather plotless (at least for now).

Part 1
Rrrrrring!
"{Yawn} I don't wanna get up!"
"Good morning {yawn} to you too, 'niisan!"
"'Morning, Kari. How's your earache?" questioned Tai, still lying in bed.
"Better, actually, it's gone. I guess wearing this bonnet really helped."
"Glad to hear that {yawn}."
"Kids, hurry up or you'll be late for school!"
"Yeah, mom!" chorused Kari & Tai.
Tai jumped out of bed, nearly colliding with Gatomon by mistake.
"Sorry, Gatomon!"
The digimon turned around and opened her mouth to apologize in return, but as she saw Tai a look of something which could have been called indecision passed on her face. The indecision, however, was short-lived, for Gatomon collapsed on the floor in fits of laughter.
"Gatomon, are you alright?" Tai voiced his amazement, but walked past the digimon and raised the Kari's bed curtain, extending a hand to his sister.
Kari, on her part, tried to get some of the sleep out of her eyes and wearily scrutinized Tai. Then…
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkk!!!!" cried out the Child of Light and briskly pulled the covers over her head.
"Kari?" This was getting Tai really puzzled.
An undescifrable mumble was the only reply he got, though.
Gatomon was the one who, through spasms of unstoppable laughter kindly pointed towards the mirror.
More and more bewildered, Tai got himself in front of the mirror.
[Okay, so I've never seen a mirror in that room, but that's what artistic license is for, right?]
He looked in the mirror. Brown eyes looked back at him from their regular face and the hair had its usual untamed (to put it mildly) appearance, even more so after sleep. Business as usual for Tai's mane. Except one tiny detail… it was pink. O_o
Take Taichi Yagami, brave leader of the DigiDestined in the good ol' days. A little rash, but definately brave leader, with an immense obsession with his hair. His *brown* hair. Now have his hair suddenly turn pink. [Yes, pink.] And now let's witness the splendid result…[drum roll]…Thunk!
"Tai? Tai? Um… Gatomon, I don't think it's healthy for him to lie sprawled on the floor with his body like *that*…"
~ ~ ~
Matt woke up early as usual and headed towards the bathroom, running his hands through his hair. 'I hope I'm not going to have a bad hair day,' Matt thought, trying to shake a bad feeling. He gathered his courage and brought his head near the mirror, eyes closed. The Child of Friendship took a deep breath and slowly proceeded opening one eye. What he saw reflected in the piece of glass made both his eyes almost pop out of their sockets. Hair. Tousled hair. Tousled, hard-to-comb-and-in-need-of-gel hair. Tousled, hard- to-comb-and-in-need-of-gel *brown* hair. Matt shuddered. Then he felt his mouth open and his knees turning into jelly. The immediate next thing was falling on the floor, his brain idly wondering before completely shutting down whether the jaw dropping through the floor would disturb the downstairs neighbour.
~ ~ ~
Cody opened his eyes at 7:00 sharp, in to the way his grandfather had taught him. He got up and greeted Upamon.
"Good morning, Cody," Upamon said sleepily, using his sense of seeing only after answering. Which turned out to be the fastest and most effective means of waking up.
"Cody!" shrieked the digimon.
"Not so loud, Upamon, or my mother will hear you!"
"But Cody…"
"Yes?" responded the youngest DigiDestined patiently.
"Your hair is orange…"
"Don't be silly, Upamon, how could it be orange?" [Famous last words, people, famous last words!]
The digimon's pitying gaze made the boy, however skeptic, reach for a small mirror and peep in it.
The small smile which had appeared on Cody' face slowly melted away, leaving behind an expression which on most people would have been considered blank, but which for the young kendo disciple was something akin to being appalled.
"Upamon," the boy said quietly, "I think I'm going to faint."
Thunk.
"Cody? Co-ody, get up from me, I can't breathe!"
~ ~ ~
"Izzy, honey? Wake up, dear, Matt's on the phone."
"Yeah, mom, sure." The boy pulled out his head from under his pillow (habit he'd picked up since sleeping in the same bed with Tentomon's claws, Tentomon still being attached to them).
"Izzy," his mother breathed out in shock, then rolled her eyes to the back of her head and fainted. "Mother!"
"Izzy, what happ- Dear God, boy! What have you done to your hair?" his father cried out. "Never mind, I'll check on your mother and you talk to your friend Matt. He seemed quite shaken," he said, adding under his breath 'though not as shaken I am'.
Izzy walked astounded towards the phone. His hair? What could *possibly* have happened to his hair? It felt just fine.
"Hello?" the boy said as he picked up the receiver, trying no to sound worried.
"Izzy!" he other voice suddenly choked.
"Hey, Matt, what's the matter, you sound on the verge of tears!"
"My-my hair!" the other boy wailed, unconsciously imitating Mimi.
Dark suspicions started eating away at Izzy.
"What happened to your hair?" he asked hesitantly.
"It's…it's..."
"Yes?"
"It's brown!!!"
"Matt, please calm down, get a grip of yourself! Breathe in, breath out. Okay?"
"Yeah…"
"Now what do you mean it's brown?"
"It changed colour over night! As if someone had painted it. Oh God…"
"But that can't be," reasoned Izzy. "You're a very light sleeper."
"True…but then…"
"This sound very bizarre. Let's meet up before school and I'll try to see what occurred."
"But my hair! I can't let people see it!"
"Wear a cap or something! You do have one, don't you?"
"Yeah…"
"Fine then, we'll meet in front of the school 20 minutes before classes."
"Okay, Izzy. Thanks."
"It's okay. Bye!"
"Bye!"
'That was odd', thought Izzy after putting down the receiver. The recollection of his mother fainting suddenly came to him.
"Mother, are you all right?" he exclaimed.
"I'm fine, Izzy, but your hair…"
"What? What about my hair?" he asked, all of a sudden afraid. The Child of Knowledge refused himself even a supposition and turned to the nearest reflecting object - the computer screen. It didn't take more than 2.4 seconds for his brilliant mind to register the situation and choose the most proper reaction.
"Uuuh…, " uttered Izzy.
Thunk.
As the reader has probably guessed, Izzy's red hair had changed colour. It was not red anymore, not even *near* red. Nor was it some 'normal' colour, such as brown or black. It was… but that's to be revealed later on. Keep reading and you'll find out. Or not…
~ ~ ~
Similar scenes took place at the other DigiDestined's houses, all of them ending with 'Thunk'. Well, not all of them. The only two not to faint were Davis and Ken. Ken, actually, because of his hangover. But anywayz…
~ ~ ~
Davis woke up in a cheerful mood. He felt like that day was going to be the best of his life, a day which would be remembered in humanity's history. He would kick the DigimonKaiser's a$$ and win Kari's heart! Oh yeah, this was surely going to be his day! Then again, he felt like that almost every day…
He hummed the titlesong of Digimon01 [Yes, I realize that he couldn't have known that. But it fits and 'sides, I'm listening to it now^^] all the way to the bathroom, congratulating himself on beating his sister to it. Jun, surprisingly, had stopped short as she had seen her brother, throwing a bottle of shampoo into the air and letting the first thing which had come to her mind out of her mouth.
"EEEEEEEEEEE-AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH, DAAAAAAAAAAVIS!!!!!!!!"
"digimon-digital monsters, digi- 'morning to you too, sis –mon digital monstersmhhmmhhmm"
Davis washed his face then glanced into the mirror.
"Well, my bright purple hair looks nice today," the boy said to himself. Wait, that didn't sound quite right. Oh well, he'd think about it later, or else he'd be late for school.
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Well? What do you think? Comments&suggestions are always welcomed!
Part 2: What will the DigiDestined do? How will Tai, Matt and everyone else cope? What is Izzy's hair colour? Will Davis eventually realize that he has purple hair? Why does Ken have a hangover? Why don't I shut up?
Now, seriously, people, I *really* want to know what you think! Please review!
