Episode 1: The first beginning

(George): It's been three years since that strange incident with the alien eggs. Since then I've been friends with Dan, Jimmy, and Hannah. Rachel and I are going out. All five of us are in the 8th grade and are looking forward to our little "graduation after party" that's going to take place after the ceremony at my house...

(in the hall right before the ceremony)

"Isn't this exciting? We're finally graduating," Hannah exclaimed.

"I know it seems like only yesterday that I was walking in to my first day of kindergarten," George states.

"I remember that, you had to examine everything thoroughly before you touched it. You brought a magnifying glass from home," Rachel joked.

Dan laughs.

"We all set to party it up all night?" Jimmy inquired.

"No we only have 10 movies, 20 CDs, 500 cans of soda, and an order for 5 pizza pies. I think we'll only be able to stay up until 5:00am with that, but defiantly not all night," George said sarcastically

(Ceremony takes place...)

(At George's house)

The graduates settle down in front of the TV and begin to watch the movies.

the door bell rings

"That'll be the pizza" George declared.

George walks over and opens the door. Sure enough it's the pizza. George takes the pizza and pays the delivery man.

"Who wants pizza?" George asked

Dan and Jimmy stood up and each grabbed two slices. "Do you really have to ask?" they declared.

After watching four more movies it's nearing midnight. The pizza is long gone and the teens are dozing off while music is playing in the background. Suddenly, the music turns off of its own accord. The lights begin flashing, and the television, which is still on, begins to glow. George wakes up and notices all of this.

"Guys wake up!!" George shouted

Rachel and Hannah groggily sat up. "What's up?"
Dan and Jimmy are still sleeping and snoring loudly.

"How romantic," Rachel exclaimed

"Actually I didn't plan this. I'm going to see if it's happening in the rest of the house," George said.

George goes into his room where his laptop is. The screen is glowing eerily. Occasionally it emits a small lightening bolt. By now Dan and Jimmy are awake. Everyone goes into George's room. Suddenly, the screen emits five lightening bolts that struck the five teens, knocking them down.

"I would assume that this is a second phase of the alien invasion from three years ago," George explained.

"Great..." everyone exclaimed sarcastically.

"They are trying to eliminate us because they know that we saw the alien eggs three years ago," George explained.

"Great..." everyone exclaimed sarcastically (again).

Then, the screen stopped glowing. All of a sudden a window was opened and the teens watched as a strange device was constructed. When it was complete, the computer shot out a bolt of lightening that struck George. He doubled over, and Rachel ran over to see if he was ok. When George stood up he had the device that the computer had been constructing (a digital device that looked exactly like the ones Tai had). The computer was already constructing another one. Each person got one in turn. When the last person had the device, the computer shut down. George picked it up quizzically. He ran back to the den, where they had been watching the movies. He looked at the Television. It was back to normal. George returned to his bedroom still holding his laptop.

"Curious" George said.

"Is it over?" Rachel asked a little shaken.

"I think so..." George said warily.

Suddenly, a beam of light shines on them from above.

"I think you spoke too soon" Dan shouted.

The beam enveloped all five children. When the light dimmed, the room was empty.

George wakes up. Something doesn't feel right. He sits up and notices that he is in a jungle.

"Where am I? How did I get here? Where are the others?" George thought.

Something moves in the nearby foliage.

"Who's there?" George demanded.

"Just me DemiCrocmon," DemiCrocmon stated calmly.

DemiCrocmon steps out into the open. He looks like a little baby crocodile.

"Wha—did you just talk to me?" George exclaimed surprised at this sudden turn of events.

"Indeed I did. I've waited a long time to meet you George," DemiCrocmon declared.

"Great, now the aliens know my name," George groaned.

"I'm not an alien, I'm a Digimon, or Digital Monster," DemiCrocmon stated amused by George's reaction.

"Does this mean that I got sucked into my laptop?" George inquired.

"Nope, your laptop is over there," DemiCrocmon replied

DemiCrocmon points behind George. Sure enough, the laptop is there, and it's unharmed.

"What am I going to do now?" George asked nobody in particular.

"George is that you?" Rachel asked nervously.

"Yeah it's me," George said.

Rachel steps out from behind a tree where she had fallen. There was another creature with her. It was small and shaped like a ball. It was pinkish. "Hello, I'm Pipmon" it said.

"Great another one," George groaned

"I'm so glad you're here. I thought I was here all by myself with nothing but this thing for company," Rachel declared happily.

She moves in to kiss George, but he ignores that action and looks around.

"I suggest we try to find the others," George stated.

"Okay what ever you say," Rachel said a little offended that George ignored her.

George takes his laptop and slips it into his backpack, which had also mysteriously shown up. George and Rachel, staying close together, walk around the jungle and call for the others. The two creatures follow them.

"'Sup did I hear someone calling my name?" Dan asked.

Under Dan's arm is another creature. This time it is blue and has fur. "Greetings, I am Klingmon".

"Hey Dan!" George exclaimed.

"George do you have any idea where we are?" Dan asked.

"Afraid not...sorry," George stated.

"Did you see anyone else here by any chance?" Rachel inquired.

"No one except the fur ball over here," Dan said pointing to Klingmon.

"Hey! I am not a fur ball. I'm a digimon!!" Klingmon shouted.

"You look like a fur ball to me," Dan shouted back.

Hannah steps out of the foliage. There is yet another creature with her. This creature looks like a tiny lizard.

"I thought I recognized Dan's tone," Hannah stated.

"What's with the lizard?" George asked

"It says its name is demilizardmon...I've never heard of a lizard of that species, let alone one that could talk," Hannah shrugged, clearly confused.

"While we're chit-chatting Jimmy could be in danger," Dan exclaimed.

"Your point is taken. Let's go look for him, but no matter what we must stick together," George stated.

"What ever you say George" Rachel said, moving closer to George.

"Okay," said Hannah.

Dan has already begun walking. He looks over his shoulder and shouts "Would you all just hurry up?!"

"Alright we're moving, we're moving. No need to short circuit dude," George said exasperated.

The four people begin to walk through the jungle. The digimon follow closely. Everyone calls Jimmy's name, but no one can find him. Finally, it begins to get dark.

"Can we please stop for the night? I'm tired," Rachel said spooked.

"We can't stop. We have to find Jimmy before something else does" Dan declared, not even slowing down for an instant.

"Alright. I have an idea. We'll camp out over here, and build a fire. Then, Dan and I will go look for Jimmy. If we don't find him in two hours, we'll head back" George suggested.

"Agreed," said Dan.

They proceed to gather wood for the fire, but when they have enough wood no one is sure how to start the fire.

"Well, we're all set to start the fire" George said.

"Great, does anyone have any matches?" Dan remarked sarcastically.

Hannah and Rachel simultaneously said "Nope".

George smacks himself in the forehead.

"Doesn't that hurt?" Demicrocmon asked.

George doesn't hear him. "Of course! I was going to go camping shortly after graduation. My dad made me pack before because he knew that after graduation I'd be partying it up with you guys," he exclaims.

George proceeds to take out matches and a tent from his backpack. Shortly, the fire is up and blazing.

George and Dan set out to find Jimmy, but unsuccessfully arrive back at camp roughly two hours later.

Upon arriving they find Jimmy, who has another creature with him. This creature looked like a blob with fangs.

"Hey guys!" Jimmy shouted enthusiastically.

"Jimmy!!" Dan exclaimed running to greet his friend.

"When did you get here?" George asked.

"Not long after you left, or so I'm told. I noticed the fire and came in to investigate." (notices George looking at the blob) "By the way, this little guy says he's Frapmon, a digimon, whatever that is," Jimmy explained.

Everyone is so happy at being reunited at last that they fail to notice something lurking in the shadows behind them.
