Prologue – Dana's POV

After our battle in the Digital-World things were back to normal. I started going to band practices with Matt and eventually they ended up talking me into making an appearance in their first concert of the year, which was when school started. Other than that Mimi, Willis and I were now about to start at Odaiba Junior High. All three of us were really excited about going to high school together. Sora took me and Mimi shopping for everything. Kari came along too and helped them show me around the stores. Mimi ended up dragging all three of us to a beauty salon for facials and manicures. Sora didn't look like she was having much fun when they were putting the makeup on her face.

When we met up with the guys later Tai, well actually all of them, almost passed out when they saw Sora. I can remember Tai saying something like, "What did you guys do to her?" He had a big grin on his face of course. Mimi answered Tai's question with a big grin. "We turned her into a girl for the day." That's all we did all day was hang out, go to one of Matt's band rehearsals, which I made an appearance in. Sora recently told me that Mimi could sing and wasn't bad either, so during practice I got her up out of her chair and I got her to sing.

Little did I know that I was about to find out something that would change my life forever. Not just mine though. It would also change another's as well. Both of us would be forced to accept the truth about what had happened to us when we were little.

Part 1 Dana's POV

I woke up that morning. It was only three days until school started. I rolled over in my bed making sure that I had gotten everything I needed for school. Nobody told me I had to wear a uniform! Yuck! It was a beautiful sunny day. I had had my window open all night because it was to hot. "I guess I just have to adjust to the warm climate." I said as I hoped out of bed.

I walked down the hall in my aunt and uncle's apartment and into the kitchen. My aunt was busy making bacon and eggs. She turned around when I walked in. "Dana sit down please." She asked. The look on her face was freaking me out. Had my uncle died last night on his way home from work? Oh no! Not again! That'll be three people I've lost and only in one year! What was going on? That's it. I was going to ask her. "Auntie what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Just then Willis walked in rubbing his eyes. He pulled up a chair and sat down. My aunt handed us our plate of eggs and bacon and sat down. "Kids…"She spoke up after a few minutes. "Me and your father…uncle are going overseas for about a month. Now your father has already left and I will be joining him. My plane departure is scheduled for 3:00 tomorrow afternoon. What I'm trying to say is do you two have any idea who could take care of you while we're gone?"

I breathed a huge sigh of relief when she said that. You see my uncle is the closest thing that I have to my dad since he's his brother. That's what always bothered me. No, not my uncle, you see out of everyone in my family, I was the only one with red hair. It may not seem that odd, but it does to me. Well I think my grandmother had red hair. Oh well, back to reality.

"I have no clue?" I said. Hopefully Willis could come up with something more full proof. He just sat there for a few seconds and then finally spoke. "What about Izzy' parents?" My aunt looked at me and I nodded. Izzy was a really nice guy. His parents were also very nice as well.

"Okay." My aunt said walking to the phone. "What's their number dear?" Willis shot up off his seat and dialed the number then handed the phone back to her. You have to understand that my aunt is somewhat of the shy type. "H-Hello is this Suzanne Izumi?…………..This is Christine Anderson, Willis' mother and Dana's aunt calling……." My darling aunt, she would never leave me out of anything. "I was wondering if you and your husband could possibly watch Dana and Willis for about month while my husband and I made a trip overseas?……….You would be delighted! Well I thank you very much!…….I'll be dropping them off before I leave for the airport tomorrow afternoon around 2:00, is that alright?………Good, I'll see you tomorrow. Good Bye."

My aunt almost passed out right then and there in the chair. She looked at both of us and nodded. "Go pack clothes and things you'll need for a month." Willis and I finished our breakfast and ran to our rooms. Then it hit me. I was going to be stuck with two guys, not to mention that they're computer geeks, for a month! "AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" I screamed mentally. Oh well what was I going to do? Start a riot?

~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Willis' POV

My mom dropped me and Dana off at the Izumi's around 2:00, just like she had said to Izzy's mom. Mrs. Izumi opened the door and smiled as she waved us in. "Izzy, they're here!" Mrs. Izumi yelled. Footsteps came down the hall and Izzy appeared. "Hey you guys. I'm glad you got here, Matt kept calling for Dana." Dana blushed crimson. Her and Matt started going out about a week after we got back for the Digi-World.

"Izzy…" Mrs. Izumi said as she turned from the door where my mom had just been standing. "Perhaps you'd like to show them to their rooms."

"Oh yeah! Follow me."

Dana and I followed Izzy down a long hall. He showed us the bathroom, where his parents room was, then his room, which was empty for some reason, and then the spare room. We walked into it and looked around. There were two twin sized bed on each side of the room, a night table in the center and two dressers/desks. One of them was already full of stuff. Izzy turned to us. "This is all my stuff. My mom asked me if I could give up my room because girls need their privacy. So you'll be staying there."

"Thanks. I think I'll go and unpack." Dana said as she left the room. She was probably going to call Matt before she unpacked.

"Don't forget to phone Matt. He's driving me crazy."

"Okay." Dana said and walked out of the room. I walked over to the other bed and flopped my suitcase on it. I opened it up and took out the first thing I could get. My laptop. It was really nice. Dana had given it to me when she got her dad's. I knew she thought that I was a computer geek, but she was too….even though she chose not to accept it.

"Great you brought it!"Izzy said. "Now we can play that Trigonometry game I found on the internet."

"Won't your mom mind us being on it?" I asked.

"No she said go right ahead, but just not for hours on end."

Dana's POV

I walked into what would be my new room for a month. I took off the key that I had around my neck and set it down on the desk that was opposite the bed. You see my aunt said that if we needed anything at home we could use this key to get inside. She just made me promise not to have any parties.

Next I took out my book bag that I was going to use for school and stuffed it under the bed with the rest of my school supplies. Then I took out all the accessories that a girl would need, makeup, hairbrush, etc. ::cough:: Then my soccer uniform. I had decided to give it a try this year along with volleyball. The last thing that I took out was my dad's laptop. I hugged it. You see my dad was a professor. So was my uncle and my other uncle that I had never met. My dad never used to like to talk about him. Something about a car crash.

After that I walked into the kitchen where Mrs. Izumi was. I have to admit that I was shy. Why? Well, she's the mother of a genius! Anyway when I walked in she was cooking something. It smelled absolutely delicious! "Mrs. Izumi?" I asked. "Yes dear?" She said as she turned around. "Is something wrong Dana? Are those boys bugging you?" Uh oh, wrong facial expression. "No Mam. I was just wondering if I could use your phone?" She looked at me and smiled. "Down the hall where you came in." She said. "Thank you." I said as I bowed slightly and then began leaving. "Dana." Mrs. Izumi said. "Feel free to use the telephone any time you want." She said and then went back to what she was making.

I backed out of the kitchen as I started to sob. She reminded me so much of my mother. I cried silently as I went back towards my new room. "C'mon Dana stop this!" I screamed in my head. I had to stop myself, because if I didn't I might sink into "I have nobody left in this world" phases. That happened right after they died. That's why I almost killed myself. I stopped crying right away.

I soon found myself at the phone dialing Matt's number. He rang a couple of times. A rough voice soon came on the phone. "Hello?" I'm guessing it was his dad. "Hello? Mr. Ishida?" I asked not sure of who it was. I have to admit that I have never met Matt's dad.

"Yes, may I ask who is speaking?"

"It's Dana is Matt there?"

"Hold on a sec. I'll go get him."

I could hear him yelling for Matt in the backround. I started giggling. It was pretty funny when I heard a thud and M. Ishida saying something about not jumping over the couch. Matt's voice soon came on the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey it's me. Izzy said that you kept calling here."

"Yeah I wanted to know if you were busy tonight?"

"Well it depends on what your about to ask me."

"Well my dad is off work tonight and I wanted to know if you wanted to come over and have dinner and then maybe go to a movie after."

"Just a second. I'll have to ask Mrs. Izumi." I said as I set the phone on the table and walked back into the kitchen. "Excuse me, Mrs. Izumi." I said as I approached her. "Yes Dana?" I was fighting back tears right there.

"I was wondering if I could go over to a friend's tonight for dinner and then to a movie afterwards?"

"Of course dear but please be home by eleven."

"Thank you." I said as I exited the kitchen once again. I soon returned to the phone. When I picked it up Matt was humming the theme to Jeopardy. "No more American shows for you." I said as I started to laugh.

"Sorry. So what's the verdict?"

"I can come…um what time?"

"How about around 8:00?"

"Ok, see you then, bye."

"Bye."

I hung up the phone and went towards my room. As soon as I entered I went towards the closet where half of my unpacked clothes were. I quickly shuffled through the clothes. I picked out a pair of red flare jeans and through them on my bed. I then went to the dresser and picked out a nice black T-shirt. Well now that I was done with clothes I was going to see what my cousin and Izzy were up to.

Izzy's POV

I heard footsteps coming from down the hall. Suddenly Dana popped her head in the door. "Can I come in?" She said. I nodded and then when back to the Trigonometry game I was playing with Willis. She came in and sat down beside me.

"So what's up?"

"Nothing, just a new Trigonometry game that Izzy found on the net." Willis said. His attention was on the game.

"You wanna try it?" I said pausing it. Willis said she was a computer geek. I wanted proof.

"I guess." She said as I gave her the controls. She immediately started the game. I couldn't believe my eyes when her score shot up. She was winning! Mind you that Willis was only about 7 points below, but her score was the exact same as mine! Suddenly the game stopped and she returned the controls to me.

"Why did you stop Dana? You could have beaten Izzy's score?" Willis said. Dana didn't say anything, she just stared at me. To be honest it was kind of freaking me out. "Uh….Dana?" It seemed just as if she snapped out of it. "Oh sorry. It's just your eyes seem so familiar." I just watched as she got up and left the room. "Sorry if I scared you." She said and then shut the door.

"What was that about?" Willis asked.

"I have no clue. She said my eyes seemed familiar to her, but I don't see how?"

"You should see her at home. She would stand there looking in the mirror all day if she could."

"Why is that?" I asked.

"She said something to me once about being the only red head in the family and if you noticed her eyed are not the same color of blue as the rest of ours."

"What does that have to do with her standing in front of a mirror all day?"

"I have no clue. It has something to do with her eyes, like she can see her past in them."

"You know as well as I do that that is scientifically impossible."

"Yeah and so does she."

I knew what he meant. I guess the genius gean runs throughout their entire family.

Matt's POV

I was really nervous. I know we have been going out for a month but still, this was going to be the first time she met my dad. I drilled him all day on how not to make a mistake. I think he got the picture. All day today was "So who is this girl?" followed by my answer of "You'll know when she gets here."

Since my dad can't cook to save his life, I was, like always. That's when the doorbell rang. I rushed to the door before my dad could. I opened it and there she was wearing red jeans and a black top. She smiled. "Are you going to stand there drooling or are you going to let me in?" I moved out of the way so she could step inside.

As soon as she entered we heard my dad shouting from the kitchen. I quickly clicked in. I ran to the kitchen as fast as I could. When I got there what I was cooking was on fire. There was my dad with the fire extinguisher trying to put it out. He did just as Dana entered. All of us stared at each other for a few seconds then Dana started to laugh.

"What?" I said.

"You two look so funny." She said as she continued to giggle.

I looked down at what I was cooking. What was once rice was now….well it was black. Luckily my dad came through. He ordered pizza while we went into the living room and started to watch TV My dad soon returned from making the phone call and sat down in his chair. I could tell what was coming…..

"So now are you going to tell me who she is?"

Dana turned and looked at both me and my dad.

I cleared my throat. "Dad I would like you to meat Dana Anderson….my girlfriend."

"You girlfriend!" I cringed when he said it that way, but stupid me I jumped to conclusions. "Well it's about time!"

Just then the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." I said jumping off of the couch. Sorry Dana. I ran to the door. The pizza had arrived. Luckily dad left the money on the table.

Dana's POV

Mr. Ishida and I sat there for a few seconds until he finally broke the ice.

"So how long have you two been going out?"

"For about a month and half."

"That long and he didn't even tell me. So where do you come from?"

"Well at first I lived in Canada and then I moved to the U.S to live with my cousin and now here.

"Why do you live with your cousin, that is if you don't mind me asking?"

"No not all. About a year ago my parents and I were in a car crash and I was the only one that made it out." Mr. Ishida just sat there with a sad look on his face. I knew all about Matt's parents situation. He lived with his dad, TK with their mom. Suddenly Matt reappeared with the pizza.

"Dad did you get anchovies?" he asked setting the boxes down on the table.

"No. I didn't think Dana would like them….or do you?"

"No you made the right choice."

We all dug into the pizza. I was hungry and ate something like five pieces. Matt's dad was amazed at how much I ate and was cheering me on when I wolfed down my last piece. After that Matt and I thanked his dad for the pizza and we went to a movie.

The movie ended around 10:30 and Matt offered to walk me back home. At first I said no because he would have to walk half way across town just to get back to his house but he persisted and said that the streets of Odaiba weren't that safe at this time of night.

I hung on to his arm the whole way. Yes, I was scared! Are you kidding me. It was dark. When we arrived back at the Izumi's house he walked me right up onto the porch. Before he left I gave him a small kiss on the lips. What I'm only fifteen! I told him to call me as soon as he got home and I watched him walk away. That's when it happened. I turned to open the door and got this terrible feeling and I turned around.

I could still see Matt. He was walking across the street without a care in the world. That when I noticed the car coming in his direction. I ran as fast as I could to where he was shouting out his name. He turned around to see me run and push him out of the way. I felt this immense pain and then it went black.

Matt's POV

I heard Dana yelling my name. I turned around and saw her running. I stumbled back as she pushed me out of the way of the oncoming car. I watched as she was hit and the car sped off. I ran up to her limp body. I was so scared the she was dead.

When I rolled her over I could tell that she was hurt pretty badly. Her forehead was bleeding, so was her side and one of her legs. I felt her wrist for a pulse. I sighed in relief when I found one. It was small, but it still was a pulse. I started sobbing as I watched her lay there. I had to get help now or she would bleed to death. That's when I noticed someone running up to us. It was Izzy!

Izzy's POV

I woke up when I heard someone yelling outside. I got up and went to the window. I watched as Dana pushed Matt out of the way and was hit by the car. The car then sped off. Pathetic. I ran out of the house and onto the street. Matt was sitting by Dana, he was about to get up when he saw me. When I saw her I was almost sick. There was blood everywhere.

"We have to get her to a hospital!" Matt said.

"Stay with her I'll call an ambulance." I said running back into the house. My mother and father came out of there room just as I was calling and ambulance. They looked at me.

"Izzy…."My dad said.

"Shhh….Yes I need an ambulance right away for a hit and run on Ohmi Drive. Apartment complex 12, apartment number 3." I said and then hung up the phone. Now Willis was in the kitchen.

"Izzy what's going on?" My dad asked.

"Dana was hit by a car."

"Where is she!" Both my mom and Willis yelled.

"Outside."

All of us then rushed outside. Matt was still beside Dana trying to stop the bleeding with his jacket. My mother and father crowded around Dana. Matt looked up at me.

"Did you call one?"

"Yes they should be here any minute."

"What happened here?" My mother asked just as the ambulance drove up and the paramedics jumped out. They slipped aboard underneath Dana and then put her onto the gurney. They began wrapping gauze around the wounds. They then lifted her into the ambulance. They said that one of my parents had to go with her. My mother didn't say a word. She just jumped inside and then they drove off.

Matt was a mess on the way there. Willis wasn't doing much better. Luckily my dad had his cell phone with him. He said to Willis he could use it to call his parents and all of her friends and that they should know what had happened. Me I was hoping to god that she was going to be okay. Suddenly my head started to hurt and so did my leg and side. It wasn't bad but it was still there. I hadn't done anything like strained something. So what was up?
