Chapter 1: Days Pass By

Four years had passed since the defeat of Lucemon and the gang had remained closer friends than ever, though their lives had become quite busy. Girls seemed to swoon around Takuya due to him being a soccer star and, though he loved the attention, still made time for his friends.

The twins, Koji and Koichi, were also pretty popular as many girls considered them to be quite good looking. Koji found the squealing from the fangirls annoying, while Koichi usually became embarrassed at their antics.

JP had lost a few kilos over the years and had become a huge flirt. While he had improved somewhat, he still always looked for the prettier girl which was a little saddening at times. He had also retained his crush on Zoe and flirted with her on every occasion he got.

Zoe had become even more beautiful over the years and abandoned her purple hat, letting her hair grow out. She still wasn't among the popular crowd, but at least she was better at socializing now then she had been before her experience in the digital world. The blonde had become close friends with Chiaki, a girl who she had met for a brief moment in the digital world, and a bookworm from Australia named Kotone.

Tommy had grown up a lot in height as well as maturity. His relationship with Yutaka had become a little better after his trip to the digital world, but Yutaka still didn't pay much mind to him. Luckily, he was still quite close with Takuya which made things a lot easier since he cared for him a lot.

It was a pretty usual day. The gang was hanging out with one another and just spending some quality time when Takuya bumped into someone.

"Oh hey, I'm sorry." Takuya replied, reaching to help the girl up. The girl had shoulder length brown hair and wore round glasses.

"Kotone!" Zoe cried, upon recognizing her. "What are you doing out here at this time?"

Kotone blinked upon seeing Zoe and gave a soft smile.

"Um...well, I came here to buy some books for extra reading." Kotone said shyly. "I'm sorry I bumped into your friend though."

"It's fine, it was my fault anyway." Takuya said good-naturedly with a smile.

"Oh, OK then." Zoe said with a smile. "Have I introduced you to my friends yet? The one you bumped into is Takuya; don't worry, he normally doesn't watch where he's going so it really is his fault."

Takuya scowled slightly at that while Kotone giggled a little then frowned.

"Zoe...you're friends with one of the school's most popular ladies' mans? How did you manage that one?" Kotone asked, sounding genuinely curious and Zoe flushed a little, wondering how she was going to explain about that. Luckily, Koji came up with a quick explanation.

"We're all childhood friends." Koji quickly told Kotone, coming up with what he would have said at the first instance. The brunette raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any further questions, much to the relief of the others. Zoe continued her introduction.

"These are Koji and Koichi," Zoe said gesturing towards the twins. "Koji can be kind of rough on the surface, but really he's as sweet as a harmless puppy once you get to know him."

Koji turned red and glared at Takuya who burst into laughter. Koichi wanted to laugh too but hid it well for Koji's sake.

"Koichi's a really nice guy, but he's too shy for his own good; in fact he's kind of like you Kotone, only a male version." Zoe said brightly not noticing Koji's embarrassment or at least if she did, she didn't notice it. Koichi gave a soft smile at his description and had a light blush on his cheeks while Kotone returned the smile.

"This is JP, he can be a bit too forward but he's pretty nice as well." Zoe continued on and JP winked at Kotone flirtatiously.

"Nice to meet you," JP said smirking and Kotone looked a little uncomfortable. Takuya noticed this and put a hand on JP's arm, pulling him back slightly causing Kotone to send him a grateful look.

"And finally," Zoe ended it. "This is Tommy, he's our youngest but he's really sweet and basically like the little brother of our group. Plus, with Taki here that's kind of true since he basically treats him like a little brother. Anyway, you want to hang out with us? I'm sure the others won't mind." Tommy gave a wave towards Kotone who waved back a little.

Kotone looked hesitant.

"Um...I wouldn't want to be a bother." Kotone murmured to Zoe and before Zoe could reply, Takuya smiled.

"It's not a bother at all!" Takuya said brightly. "You're a friend of Zoe's after all."

"I guess if it's what everyone wants, I'm fine with it." Koji said shrugging slightly to show his approval causing Koichi to wrap an arm around him, beaming at him.

"I have no problem with it myself. Welcome to the group." Koichi said kindly and Kotone smiled a little at that.

"Me neither!" Tommy said happily. "It'll be fun!"

"Yeah, any friend of Zee's is a friend of ours." JP said a little too eagerly and Zoe laughed.

"Trying to impress me?" Zoe teased him and JP flushed a little but didn't say anything. "Well, you got the approval, Toni, so come and join us." Before anyone could say anything more, all their cell phones went off at once.

"This is odd." Kotone murmured softly taking her cell phone out with the others. Koji and Koichi exchanged a look with one another.

"Digidestined...the digital world...needs you..." A broken voice came out of the phone.

"What's going on? What's the digital world?" Kotone said turning towards Zoe. Zoe frowned softly.

"I'll tell you everything, I promise Toni; for now, just head with us to Shibuya Station, OK?" Zoe said to her and Kotone frowned as the same instruction came from her cell phone.

"Everything will be explained...head to Shibuya Station...please help..." The voice then disappeared and Takuya broke the silence.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" With that, they headed towards the station.

Takuya: Great, trouble in the digital world again? What's gone wrong this time?

Koji: And here I thought you'd be excited for a new adventure.

Kotone: This is all a bit confusing, you better explain to me soon Zoe.

Zoe: Don't worry, I will.

Teruo: Where are me, Chiaki and Shiro?

Chiaki: It's meant to be 'Chiaki, Shiro and I'. Anyway, I'm sure we'll be at the train station or even on the train.

Shiro: I'm so excited! Does the digital world have good food?

Everyone: ...

Amna: Irish will see you in the next chapter, everyone!
