Chapter 2:

Dream a little dream

'Can't believe that I made it to school on time.' Takato thought as he walked past the brick wall of the school. He was with his old friends: Kazu and Kenta and they all saw a crowd of people at the playground. "What's going on at the soccer field?" The goggle wearer questioned before the three went over to the group.

"I don't know: a Soccer game maybe." Kazu said in his usual sarcastic tone of voice. Takato knew that his friend has always used that type of speech so he decided to counter with logic.

"At 7:30 in the morning?"

"It could happen." Kazu answered back for his return argument. Others soon gathered around the already growing group and the others began to voice their opinions.

"Hey, what's that over there?" One of the students stated making another one add something to it.

"Whoa." A few more came and that is when one of the females said something insulting.

"I bet it's a prank from the Hopscotch team, all that hopping has jarred their brains." One of the male students tried a different outlook on the image.

"I don't get it. Is it supposed to be a drawing of some kind?" The same girl as before answered back harshly.

"Yeah, it's a drawing of the masterpiece of a squiggly line." The image was so weird that even the teachers and the principal were in awe over what it was; or even if there was supposed to be any logic to it.

"Everyone laughed at me when I said chalk was dangerous, well who's laughing now, huh? No one!" A kid that has been dubbed beyond paranoid said in triumph.

"Man, check out the vein on his forehead." One of the more level headed students whispered to another. It took a while before the kids went into their classrooms, but they were all wondering of who used up all of that chalk. Even in the classroom most of the students would not be silent about their theories so their teacher spoke up.

"Okay, okay give me you're attention…for a change." She said while closing her attendance book before adding, "You too, Kazu." With a groan from said person she knew that he was listening. "I assume none of you vandalized the Soccer field although I wouldn't put it past some of you, but if you know of anything about it: let me know, okay." After that message she added something else, something that would get their minds off of the drawing, "Now, take out your pencils; it's time for a test!" She then heard a lot of the students gripe and complaints mainly circling: 'she didn't say anything about a test.'

"It's not fair." Kazu exclaimed while waving his hands which both had a notebook. Takato, who sat in front of him, was getting out one of his pencils.

'I've got to get better friends.' He thought after getting his pencil. He then sat up and saw that his teacher had the tests in hand.

"If life were fair, I'd be in Maui. Maybe this will teach you to pay attention in class." She said while giving some tests to the person at the beginning of each row.

"I don't want to learn that." Kazu said in a whinny voice. Despite the sound of Kazu's muttering about how he didn't want to learn the test went by pretty quickly. Soon they had lunch in their classroom. While Takato was eating his routine meal he listened to the others guesses.

"I'm telling you man there's something really weird going on here. Those drawings on the Soccer field are just like Crop circles, and those are made by aliens." One voice said, with one of his friends nodding his head in agreement. While a boy on Takato's side of the table had his own guess.

"You guys are WAY off base, there's no such thing as aliens. What it really was, was a ghost, and that dinosaur that the principal saw was a ghost dinosaur." As he said that Takato had picked up his milk carton and started to drink while still listening.

"Okay, but how did a ghost eat all the food in the cafeteria." The one that nodded earlier questioned not noticing that the goggle classmate had milk dripping out of his nose.

'I was really hoping that these guys forgot about Guilmon's little all-you-can-eat buffet.' He thought while hearing out the ghost believer answer.

"Everyone knows Meatloaf is a ghost's, like, favorite thing. Besides what else could eat the Cafeteria food and NOT DIE." The kid, to most, spoke the truth over the Cafeteria food.

"That is true." The one that questioned the ghost theory said.

"He's right." A girl who was sitting beside the ghost believer exclaimed. After wolfing down all of their food the students were assigned to move the tables and start sweeping the floor. Takato and a fellow 5-2 classmate: Jeri got sweeping as their job.

"So, after all that then they started saying it was demons conjured by last weeks spud balls." Takato said, telling her over what the others had said ending his tale with a laugh. He stopped laughing when he saw that his friend stopped sweeping. "W-what's wrong? Don't tell me you ate the spud balls." He said the last part in fear. Normally rumors such as those did not bug him, but after the Digimon coming to him and the watch on his wrist he did not what to believe anymore.

"I saw what did it." She answered back with an expression that was a mix of fear and sorrow. He turned his complete attention to her.

"Uh-oh." He said after hearing that under his breath while adding, 'Knowing my luck, it was Guilmon again.' In thought form; he then decided to dive deeper into what she meant. "What do you mean: you saw it?" He was seriously hoping that he was wrong.

"It all started this morning. I wasn't feeling well so I went to the infirmary." She started to tell him and pictured the whole thing while continuing, "There I was tucked in tight with nothing but the smell of iodine and camorra oil to keep me company. It was so quiet when suddenly…" She paused as she mentally recapped of the sound of shaking glass containers. 'Hello, who's there?' Her flashback image stated to the wind. While she was speaking of the past she may have fudged the truth, "I got out of bed and fearlessly marched over to the cabinet to see what was there." When in reality she was a little bit fearful. 'Probably just a cat.' Her past self said to herself. Her story continued, "I moved in like a lion stalking its prey. Step by step, inch by inch." In the past she asked the shadow, 'Here kitty-kitty.' A pair of green eyes saw her approaching.

"Uh-oh." The creature said before jumping out, and starting the girl. The past Jeri looked around to try and see that shadow.

'Where did you run off to, nice kitty-cat?' She questioned in the med room before looking up from her sitting position. On the ceiling were small, in pattern, smudges. 'Since when do cats know how to walk on the ceiling?' She questioned in fright before adding with a shaking body, 'That's impossible.' She said to Takato while gripping the handle of her broom, "I was lucky to get out of there in one piece?" He could see that this strange experience did startle he decided to calm her down.

"Man, your brave." While mentally thinking over what that could have been. School was routine after that, and soon it was over.

"Here it comes." The goalie of the school's Soccer team said to the others before kicking it. A few of the students spent after school hours to brush up on their Soccer skills and their drills. Takato and Henry were talking of the chalk design.

"No one has any clue who drew the chalk lines." Takato spoke to the logical alley, thinking that maybe he had an idea.

"Probably a prank." He answered back. That was the same thing that most of them had already said.

"Yeah, but you'd think they'd have some sort of lead, but they don't." The shape-shifter answered back to the orange vested one. He still was in thought over the whole thing, but he decided to continue the conversation.

"Well, who ever did do it must be pretty clever." That did make a lot of sense to the both of them.

"They won't think their pretty clever once one of these guys get a hold of him." Takato questioned while pushing up his wrist to show him the watch. Despite the conversation they both failed to realize a creature in the trees watching the humans playing with the black and white ball.

"Yeah!" The unknown creature said to himself as he watched them play before getting a strange idea into his head: the creature as a Soccer Player. He also dreamt of what others would say about him.

"He's unstoppable. The best player ever. He's too good. I want my mommy." He shot for the goal and gained lots of praise. "Yay Calumon, Yay Calumon, Yay Calumon."

"Yeah, me." He said with a blush, falling prey to his own subconscious. The white creature continued to watch until the end of the match.

"Great game guys don't study too hard this weekend." The boy that seemed to be their leader said to the others.

"Are you kidding? On the weekend, I don't know what the word study means." Another said and the three remaining got a good laugh out of that before saying their goodbyes.

"Yay." Calumon said while staring at a now empty field with unshed tears of joy. "Yay." He said again, still wanting something to happen. "Yay?" The last one he said seemed more of a question. The creature then shrunk his ears, since when he was happy his ears were pulled out a bit. When night fell, Calumon was still in the tree, but he had a question to ask, "How come no one is here?" He got out of the tree and still spoke aloud. "Maybe that black and white Digimon they were kicking around got destroyed." An idea soon hit him as he trotted over to a small shack he added, "Wait, I know how to get people here." He tried to open the door, like last time, but couldn't. "A door earring?" It questioned before trying to pull it off, but to no avail. "It just needs some gentle persuasion." The small creature came back with a rock and started beating the lock. Takato, who could not sleep still thought over the mess on the field.

'What really did make that drawing?' He thought before looking at his wrist. 'I may have said to Henry that the watch can handle who ever did this, but I haven't used it once today.' He thought before activating the dial. "Let's see I went: Stinkfly, Upgrade, XLR8, Underwraps, and Wildvine." He said: saying the names he thought of during the test. "Time to try a new one." He said and slammed down on a different picture.

"What happened?" He questioned with another different voice. He looked at his reflection and saw that his body way gray with one eye and several lines covering him; he also saw that he had no legs just a tail. "I had no idea that a ghost and an alien were one and the same." The creature said to the walls. Takato felt something, but he couldn't peg what it was. "Ghostfreak, I'll call this one Ghostfreak." He then phased under the sheets and went to bed. Back at school Calumon had just now got the lock off.

"Now they'll come." He said after pushing up the lever and pushing the chalk container to the pattern of his choosing. 'But they'll play my ways without those boring straight lines. This is out of bounds and this is the goal line, and if you cross this one you'll have to hop like Frogmon for the whole game.' He thought before letting the empty container fall to the ground. 'Now that's a field that makes sense! The whole world will want to play with me the most cleverer Digimon ever!' He thought in pure joy. He played for a while by himself. "He shoots, he scores. Yay Calumon, yay Calumon, yay Calumon." He shouted before looking around the darkness and saw no one. "No one came, but it's the best game ever."

"Another great sleep. I just wonder what that feeling was when I was Ghostfreak." Takato said, but added the last part in a whisper. He got dressed and then saw the calendar. "Today's my turn to feed the rabbits. At least this time I can take Guilmon without incident." The goggle wearer walked over to his balcony and opened the window. "Best way to get there is by flight and the main man for that job is…" He said and stalled as he slammed the head down.

"Stinkfly." He then took flight and headed for Guilmon's home. When he got there the insect unknowingly cut a tree limb with his tail until he heard a crash. "Whoa." The insect yelled in alarm before adjusting the blade on his tale and said in awe, "Got to watch out for that." The good thing was that was only a few steps away from the creature's home.

"Huh?" Guilmon said when he heard a tapping sound in his home. The red dino popped his head out of the hole he made and saw a big bug with an hourglass on his face. "Takato?" He questioned and got a nod as his answer.

"Yep, it's me boy. How about you head over to school with me? Come on it'll be fun." The insect said to the friendly dinosaur and then he added, "I'll even give you a ride."

"Okay." Guilmon said and then leapt as high as he could without damaging the roof. Stinkfly got into position, but as soon as he did that there was a beeping and a flash. "Takato, why aren't you a bug anymore?" He questioned after seeing the brown hair of his partner.

"Watch must have timed out." He strained to say. Guilmon got off and he continued, "We'll have to walk." Guilmon did not seem to mind of doing that either. The two walked over there not really talking because neither of them actually had anything to say. When the raptor saw the building went into in hopes of finding Takato he had to ask his human friend a simple question.

"So how come it's okay to come here today?" The question did make since considering he brought a lot of commotion when he visited last time.

"Cause it's the weekend." Takato answered back with a slight chuckle. The answer confused the 'new born' so it continued it's question.

"Weekend?" The goggle man saw that he was confused so he decided to clear the confusion.

"Yeah, no one's at school, see." Takato saw that he picked up on that as he spoke back to him.

"Right, but you and I are here, see?" Takato looked into his friend's yellow eyes and answered back that comment.

"But no one else is going to be here, see?" The two stopped talking when they made it to the brick opening. The tamer and Digimon stopped when two men were having a discussion over a new chalk drawing.

"This is even worse than the last time. Do you have any idea what our chalk budget is going to be this year? And we're hosting that big Hopscotch tournament." The shorter of the two men stated with his back turned to the boys.

"I have an idea, why don't we use some ground up bread crumbs?" The taller one answered back. The statement did not make the shorter one happier.

"Bread Crumbs?! Have you been reading that Fairy Tale book again?" The shorter one questioned, while loosing his temper for a moment.

"I just like the pictures." He answered back while looking away, hiding a blush of embarrassment. The two soon walked over to the teacher's parking lot.

'I can not believe that one of the teachers here has a Fairy Tale book fetish.' The brown haired human thought while also making a mental note to get that guy the movie 'Hoodwinked.' After snapping his head out of his thought the two went over to the rabbit cage. "Eat up guys; don't worry its not from the cafeteria." He said to long-eared, white furred creatures who ate the veggies in no time. He then saw that Guilmon was sniffing at a curious.

'I wonder what that little thing is.' Guilmon, who was outside of the pen looking in, questioned. Takato saw the two sniffing one another and had to add his own insight of what he saw.

"Making a new friend, Guilmon?" He then walked closer and saw that the rabbit was trying to get closer by putting its front paws on the pen which he could only laugh about that. "Just don't eat him, okay." The boy said to the reptile who looked over to some equipment over to his left.

"Hmm?" Guilmon said without moving his mouth. Takato saw that he had his attention to something else, something other than the rabbits.

"What's the matter, Guilmon?" He questioned, worried over what his pal had detected. Now with his body turning in the direction of the scent he answered back.

"I smell Digimon." This worried the boy greatly. With a shocked expression he had to say something else to him.

"Digimon?! Careful it might be dangerous, and me without a weapon; unless its afraid of rabbits." He then looked down at his wrist, 'Duh!' He thought before activating and slamming it.

"I just hope this one can do something." He said while walking out of the pen as a creature.

"Back there." Guilmon whispered after taking a few extra sniffs around the school's roller. The new creature placed the bucket down and started to walk to where the other was located. On the way there he felt his right hand transform, and when he looked down he saw that his hand has become a club of some sort. 'This is cool.' He thought before continuing to walk. With silence the two went into to two different sides, ready for a fight. The new creature lifted up his weapon and was about to attack first until he saw that it was a small, sleeping creature. "Hey, he's a cute little guy." He said before recalling his weapon. He soon saw that he was starting to wake up and when the green eyes of the creature opened the stone man decided to be friendly, "Hi!" He said with a wave.

"Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello." During that welcome the ears on its head enhanced in size and on the last 'hello' it almost seemed as if they moved.

"Hey there." The rock said and got down on his knees. 'I'm not sure if I can hold anything, but here goes.' He thought before trying to grab the small critter. The problem was that he jumped away from his mineral hands.

"Uh, uh, uh." The creature said to the rock. This confused the lizard monster.

"Huh?" He said, while wondering about this strange white monster. The stone alien was not ready to call it quits of getting a hold of this ball of fun.

"What's wrong?" He asked before sliding over to him and adding, "Don't be afraid. We're your friends." This attempt made the creature jump deep over his right side. The creature was blushing and its ears were bending for some reason after the latest alien spoke.

"PLAY!" The small one exclaimed happily. No matter which alien he turned into Takato was always willing to have some fun.

"Okay." He said with a smile and tried again, but met only air again. "Tell ya what, why don't we play later." Takato asked the playful critter.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." It answered back while shaking its head vigorously. This only made the human ask himself a very important question.

'Why do I always get the difficult Digimon?' He then looked around. "I have to make a phone call." He said and headed for the school. 'Good thing this place is unlocked for the janitors.' He thought while walking in, Guilmon and the strange one right behind him. "Guilmon, I'm going to teach you how to use a phone." The golem said while picking up the receiver. "Gently press down on the buttons I point to." He instructed.

"Okay, Takato." Guilmon answered and did just that, and soon he got a dial tone.

"Hello, Wong residence, Henry speaking." Henry questioned when he heard the phone ringing.

"It's me, Henry, Takato, in short head over to Guilmon's home, I got something to show you." He said before hanging up. "Let's get going guys." He said and headed out. There was some staring, but they probably stared because of the stone man, and the only break that they took was when the watch started to beep.

"I've got to find a better place to hide next time." Takato said, thankful that they were near an alley, even though that alley had some rank objects in it. The two made it to the park and to Guilmon's home where the rabbit/dog and its tamer were waiting; when they all got inside Guilmon started to sniff the newest beast who was very ticklish to this form of investigation.

"So your Calumon?" Guilmon questioned, since the little one said his name several times on their way home.

"Right!" He exclaimed when the dino took a break of memorizing its scent, and just like that Guilmon went back work causing the fits of laughter from Calumon.

"I wonder where he came from; I didn't see any digital field when we found him." Takato explained as the other three stood near the corners of the small building. Henry just looked at the laughing creature.

"I am amazed that he was out there on his own." Henry said back, looking from Takato and then back to the other two. The shoulder creature had to add an additional sarcastic comment.

"He's out there all right." Terriermon was looking at the two and thought that there may have been something wrong with the smaller one.

"How do you get your nose so tickly?" Calumon said while being sniffed and laughing. The three were off on their own conversation. Takato just smiled at the two's playtime.

"Hey, maybe we should find a tamer for the little guy it looks like he could really use one." Henry suggested to his fellow human.

"Yeah, but who?" Takato questioned before putting his left hand on his chin in thinking pose. After a few moments something came to mind, "I've got it."

"Who is it?" Henry questioned his friend for an answer for the tamer quest.

"Who—oh not that I was thinking of a name for the latest hero: Diamondhead." Takato answered back to an annoyed Henry.

"You mind focusing?" He questioned, causing the other boy to sweat in embarrassment. The yellow eye wear one decided to calm down his new friend.

"Sorry, but seriously, I really think I know someone who could do it." He said with confidence and his hand on his chest in a, trust me, fashion. Trusting the new tamers words Henry answered back to him.

"All right. Then let's get going."

"Yeah." Takato said: knowing that they were doing the little one a favor. Guilmon looked over to see what they were saying allowing Calumon to come up with a whole thought.

'Oh, that red Digimon is great, but those other ones need to lighten up.' The group of three headed out: leaving Guilmon in charge of Calumon, which Takato knew may have been a bad idea.

"That's him right over there." Takato said once the two of them got to the playground. 'Even though we would have gotten here sooner if this thing didn't take it's time recharging.' He thought while glancing at the red and black device.

"All right make your move." A red shirted boy said to his fellow card player. The one with the Poker visor glanced at his hand before deciding to use a powerful maneuver.

"Hmm-k, I play my Upgrade card." He said while flipping a card face-up on the battlefield.

"Hey, that's not fair." The one with the glasses, who was sitting in between the two, said in the tone of a complaint. The two outside of the playgrounds decided to speak.

"The one that just played the upgrade card is Kazu. He's the one I was thinking of." Takato said while pointing to the person in question. Henry looked from Takato and back to the card game with a, hmm.

"I won doesn't matter if it's fair or not." Kazu said in a huff. He then placed his hand on yet another card, ready to finish it.

"Does too." Kenta said back, but knew that his old friend wasn't listening; Kazu was all about winning. The dishonorable card player slammed yet another card which the opponent had to complain.

"Ah- no, not again." The two on the sidelines went back to talking about a tamer for Calumon.

"He knows just about everything there is about Digimon." Takato said while pulling back his pointer finger. Henry, who by now was done with his thoughts for this person, decided to tell the other of what he thought.

"Hmm, but even so I don't think he'd be a good choice." He then continued with his theory by using the card game as an example. "Look at the way he plays that game. He gives his Digimon so it can beat up the other guy, but he takes away all the energy it uses to protect itself." The goggle-head knew that the other tamer spoke the truth about his long time friend.

"Yeah, that definitely sounds like something Kazu would do alright, he's really big into power." Takato thought before daydreaming of boxing match.

"And so we enter the ring where these two pugnacious pugilists plan to pummel each other into pulp." The mental announcer shouted to the dark room.

"Your going down, Guilmon." Mental Caluman said while raising his gloves.

"Yeah, get `em! Upgrade energize. Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade!" Mental Kazu, who sported an eye patch said while flinging a card into the arena. While in the ring Calumon put its arms down for a moment, accepting the power boost, but also to hear Guilmon out.

"So, your mother dresses you funny." The small white ball charged at him with a straight forward punch, but the dino blocked it with his blue boxing gloves. Calumon glided back down from the punch, since it was smaller than the lizard, and just looked up in confusion. Guilmon then tried his turn while Calumon tried it again only for its face to meet the blue glove.

"Fight." The mental image of his old friend said despite the fact that he had lost. Back to the physical plain: Takato had his mouth open for a bit after the thought of what Kazu would do as a Tamer.

"You're definitely right about that one, Henry." The blue shirted boy said and put that thought in the trash. With no one else in mind he looked over to his newest friend and questioned him, "So, who could we try next?" The truth was that Henry was still analyzing so he was still not sure.

"Hey, how about Suzie?" Terriermon questioned, while still being positioned one Henry's shoulder. The boy that he was using as a tree was caught off guard by that suggestion.

"What!" The logical one said with a shocked expression on his face. That name was foreign to Takato so he decided to question the two on that name.

"Who's Suzie?" Henry looked at him and decided to tell the other human of who she was.

"My sis, she's nice, I guess." The two walked all that way since the watch was still red. He may have gotten in a couple of days ago, but Takato was already getting used to the aliens, and it bugged the crap out of him why it didn't recharge faster. Despite the tamer trying to get the dial to activate the three were able to get to Henry's apartment, there he saw a small girl playing.

"Miss Pwetty Pants, time to get weady for the ball." The small purple haired girl said talking to a toy that was about six or so inches high.

'I REALLY hope that I don't have an alien THAT small.' Takato thought while listening to the rest of her conversation with the inanimate object.

"Let me wear my chiffon coat; Heathcliff loves me in it, it brings out my eyes." The girl spoke, for the doll while then speaking for herself next.

"Whatever Miss Pwetty Pants wants Miss Pwetty Pants gets. Here ya go! You'll gonna be the bell of the ball, and everyone will me your friend forever and ever and ever." The girl said while putting the brown haired girl in said outfit. On the edge of their living room Takato was having a hard time believing that a person a playful like Suzie could be related to the slightly paranoid tamer.

"By nice do you mean: Crazy?" Takato questioned with his hand over his mouth, so the little human did not see his lips move. Henry, who was sporting a nervous expression, had to answer to that question.

"Pretty much." The answer was, but that did not bother Takato one bit of her being the playful Digimon's tamer.

"But Calumon isn't playing with a full deck either." He said back with a slight shrug of the shoulders. He honestly did not see the harm in her at least having him for a while.

"Yeah, but I wouldn't wish the 'Miss Pweety Pants' treatment on anyone." Henry said, and he meant it. Not even that red-haired girl deserved THAT level of torture; even though she was bordering on it in his opinion.

"How bad could it be?" The changeling questioned before letting his imagination get the better of him. Using his now limited knowledge on how this girl treated her toys she pictured Calumon sitting there, both waiting for something to happen.

"`K let's dress for the ball." The girl said while holding a pink frilly doll dress. The creature was confused but the girl did not notice, "Here's your pwetty pink dress." She said presenting it to it and poof it was on the creature. "And your cutest wibbon." She said and put it on, just like before Calumon liked it. "And your favorite necklace." She put that on and by that time Calumon was starting to really get nervous, since that piece weighed like a ton. "And your finest Easter bonnet." She put that on: Calumon got confused in the darkness and fell face first.

"See what I mean?" Henry Questioned, seeing Takato come to the end of his thought. He got an 'm-hm' and the three left before they were spotted. They got out of the building and thought of their problem on the bench out side.

"Of course we can get a new dress for your doll." A mother, that was passing them by said to the little girl.

"Yay, pink dress, pink dress." The girl said happily. While Takato was sitting there thinking of a Tamer for Calumon he also thought of Renamon.

'That vixen would have gone crazy if she got Suzie as a partner.' He thought mainly after the two spoke. Just as his mind was about to think of Renamon suffering Suzie's playtime he was interrupted by Henry

"You know…a girls not a bad idea, but we need one our own age." He said while knowing that his Digimon will have some ribbing for that comment later. Truthfully, Takato was surprised that Henry dug having a female to the team, despite meeting Renamon's misguided partner.

"Really?" Takato questioned, wanting to know of where he was going with that statement.

"Yeah, is there anyone from your class?" Henry questioned while looking from the road to his human ally, mainly to see if there was an embarrassed reaction.

"A girl from my class, huh?" He questioned back while thinking once again of the tamer selection. He pictured his green outfitted friend complete with her mutt puppet on her right hand.

"Ruff." The mental Jeri said while opening the puppets mouth.

"You seem nice." Mental Calumon said while landing on her left shoulder. She turned in his direction, and everything was good until… "Let's be friends." He said while pulling out its ears. At first nothing, except the puppets mouth: mirroring of how she felt and then they both screamed.

"Man, mom's right, my imagination is a curse." Takato said while placing his face in both of his palms. That statement confused the other two. Despite those three setbacks they continued, but as for Calumon it was sunset and he had yet to have any real fun.

"But playing is like breathing, I'll pass out if I don't do it soon." Calumon said in a complaining/persuading style. Guilmon held true to what Takato said and he was trying to make the smaller one understand that.

"We can't leave." He said while sitting at one corner of his lair; Calumon still wanting the reptile to let him out or at least come with.

"Pretty please." He said first before moving to Guilmon's legs. "We could play tag." He said at that spot and then moved to behind Guilmon's neck. "Race each other." He then was at the dinosaur's nose and added, "I'm so bored I'll even play chess."

"I'm bored too, but we have to do what Takato said. He'll be real mad if we're not here when he comes back." Guilmon said with his voice still coming out great, despite his decoration. The ball of fun hopped off and decided to use the lizard creature's loyalty to his advantage.

"He'll be even more mad if your not happy, right?" He questioned the taller Digimon, really wishing that this will work.

"Well…" Guilmon said with a raised claw, and could not add anything else. He placed his raised claw to his lower lip, in a form of a thinking pose, but still nothing. He looked down at the new Digimon and tried again, "You see…" He stopped again since he still did not know what to say. He began to sweat and make nervous groans, but after staring at the creature and having a feeling that he was still going to bug him he caved. "Maybe we should play." He said and that was the right thing to say.

"M-Hmm." Calumon said with perfectly exposed ears. The three others were still looking despite the night sky. With a lot of dead ends the two made a quick stop at a bakery, even though that his parents may not like it that he took a few of the new rolls. He knew that that watch was recharged, had been since meeting Henry's sister, but he thought it best to get to Guilmon's home the old fashioned way: walking.

"I can't believe it. We couldn't find anyone right for Calumon and it took us all night." The rational tamer said in disbelief of their discovery. Takato was also down about that, but knew that they couldn't really do anything about it.

"Yeah, let's get back before Guilmon eats the whole park." Takato said while holding the bread for his partner. That one sentence was the only thing Terriermon needed for him to speak.

"Let's wait, maybe he'll eat Calumon and solve both are problems." The two boys knew that it was supposed to be a joke, but it came out kind of mean too. This conversation was in front of the school and despite having a Digmon with them they failed to notice the monsters in question at the sports shed.

"Well, this is it." Calumon said, stating the building in front of them was their source of the little one's kind of fun. The both of them did not have a problem getting there at night but Calumon saw a new problem. "Oh-no, there's three door earrings. This thing wears WAY too much jewelry. Who's it trying to impress?" Calumon questioned not noticing that the other had a plan to get in until he heard the sound of digging.

We can dig a tunnel underneath the door." Guilmon said, taking a break after making an already impressive hole; he then continued to create their passage to fun.

"Yay, whoo-hoo." Calumon said and jumped in. Thanks in part to Guilmon it did not take long at all to get the chalk out. Calumon sat on it and Guilmon pushed it along. "Don't forget the line that makes you hope like Frogmon if you cross it." He said, knowing of all the rules he made the last time.

"Okay, hold on." The lizard said and made that line. Calumon was laughing all the way, and when it was done the small creature heard his big friend ask a question, "Are we all done?"

"We need a line that makes you crawl like Wormmon." Calumon answered back, and the lizard was happy to follow.

"Yeah." He said and the two made lines this way and that. The two were also laughing all that time.

"I'm getting dizzy." Calumon said and added, "I think I'm going to be sick: THIS IS THE MOST FUN EVER!" The two were soon done with their artwork. "Looks good Guilmon." Calumon complimented the lizard creature; not knowing that they were looking at the Star of David. Suddenly an explosion was made causing the unknown Digimon to question his friend, "What did you do Guilmon?"

"Me!" He answered back.

"Typical their gone." Takato said before walking out of the small building. "I told them several times not to wander off." He added while scanning the area.

"Doesn't matter how many times you tell `em if their not listening." Terriermon said, still perched on his favorite spot.

"Everything will be fine." Henry said, trying to counter what his partner just said to ease Takato's worries.

"Yeah, I guess your right." He said back with a sigh, but that relax period was over when he saw something that was still new to him. Henry also saw the object in question. "That doesn't look fine to me. How about you, does that look fine to you?" He said with fear.

"Its by the school." Henry said, but was blinded by a green flash of light. He turned to where Takato was.

"You two climb on." He said and Henry jumped onto his back. Before the passengers knew it they were speeding at that direction in record time. The two in the field were about to have company.

"Is that the inky void that makes you waddle like Penguinmon?" Guilmon questioned, thinking that they were still playing when a dark blob appeared.

"I don't know, but good idea." Calumon answered back, getting nervous about that hole.

"Something's coming." The red one said and walked over to get a closer look. A small laughing devil like creature came from that pit.

"Get back hideous creature: beware my wrath." It said after taking a big leap away from the too close Digimon.

"Don't be scared. Don't worry; I would hurt a tiny little thing like you." Guilmon said back while still in the pose he was in when he was first sniffing the new arrival.

"I'm not tiny! I'm a dangerous Digimon who's power will make you tremble in fear." The creature said, getting mad at those that state the obvious about his size, but not as bad as a blond human would.

"And your tiny." The dino said, now back to full height and Calumon to his right side.

"I'm just overdue for a growth spurt, okay?!" He said in anger and then made the first move by jumping into the air and said, "Nightmare Shocker!" Visible sound waves came from his mouths, missed the two, but obliterated the chalk holder. Don't seem so tiny now, huh?" He said boastfully before going on the offense again, "Nightmare Shocker!" This time the two of them started to flee.

"Sorry about that Hot Dog stop, I was just starving." XLR8 said after raising his mask again. The two dismounted, still feeling a head rush from that trip.

"No problem, but it looks like we were right: it is a Digital Field." Henry said, looking at the ball in front of them. "Which means a Digimon is coming through." He added.

"Then let's be the Welcome wagon for him." The speed creature said before he and the others jumped over that small barrier. "Why do I know this involves Guilmon?" He muttered after putting the mask back on.

"Why are you picking on me? Guilmon's the one who insulted you." Calumon said after hearing the evil laughter coming his way when they split; he also heard that his friend took offense to what he said.

"I don't care: Demon Dart!" He said waving his arms: forcing and shooting dark projectiles at the innocent Digimon.

"Pyro-Sphere!" Guilmon said when he saw that his friend was down and the creature was about to take advantage, and launched his attack. The attack startled but did not hit its target. The small enemy changed target, but not for long.

"How about I give you a proper tail lashing." A new voice said and just like that the figure leapt onto the field leapt back up and swung his tail in a horizontal fashion. That alone sent him flying for a little while. "And there's more where that came from." XLR8 said with a smile, and by that time the other two joined them.

"What is that thing?" The dog/rabbit questioned while Henry went straight for his Digivice.

"Vilemon = Nasty little thing." He said while mentally reading the stats. The alien wished that his friend would speak of what this thing is.

"No worries, you just leave everything to XLR8." He said and if on cue the watch timed out.

"On second thought…" He said while pulling out his Digivice and one card and added, "This may be better: Hyperwing Activate." He slid the card which gave his pal white wings. "Now show him who really rules the sky." He shouted to his friend.

"Right." He then took flight. Vilemon who by now recovered from the tail was also in the air. The winged vermin was shocked to see the reptile fly but was more shocked of what came next. "Pyro-Sphere." He said and forced the creature back on the ground.

"Not so easy, now that Guilmon can fly too, is it?" Takato said as his Digimon gently fell to earth since his wings were gone for now.

"Aw, nuts." The dark creatures said and prepared for another attack.

"Terriermon, it's your turn." Henry said while looking at his partner, while seeing the attack was on its way.

"I'm on it." He said back and knew that his partner would choose the right card.

"Digi-Modify: Speed Activate." Henry said and after he used it he saw a green aura around Terriermon which meant that it worked. He sped over just in time.

"Nightmare Shocker!" He shouted, but his aim was off due to the head-butt maneuver. The good thing was that the other three had time to duck. Calumon walked over to his down friend and asked a question.

"Are you okay?" He got a not as an answer. The four looked back up at the opponent who was enjoying that they did not know what to do.

"Have you had enough yet fools?" He questioned in a gloating mood. Takato stood up and glared at the monster.

"You bet I have." He said and was greeted by a good beeping sound. He looked at the watch: activated it, turned and slammed it down.

"Don't say you weren't fore warned." He said in a new body. This one was red skinned, four arms, and four yellow eyes. He leaped and tried a straight punch, but the creature dodged at the last moment.

"Not even that weird power is a match for me." Vilemon said and he along with the others watched as he slammed into the sports shed.

"Maybe, no one will notice." He said after digging himself out. The creature had his attention on the new hero. 'Think; he's too fast for this guy.' He thought before grabbing a chunk of metal: ready to toss it, and the enemy was also ready.

"Demon…" He said as he reared back his arm, and the creature pulled the metal back: ready to throw it. They were about to when they heard a familiar voice.

"Yeah right, your too tiny to bother with, but a fights a fight. Renamon…" It was the red haired one with Renamon, the one creature the goggle-wearer had a crush on, stood ready.

"I hate to beat up on a girl, but if you insist." Vilemon said, forgetting the alien and charged at the vixen. The red skinned giant was going to intercept until he saw the red haired girl pull out a card.

"Digi-Modify: Clone Activate." She said as she slid the card.

"Nightmare Shocker!" He shouted and launched; not even paying attention to the card or her plan.

"Yes." She whispered and watched the attack come. The strike looked like it made contact, but he was a mile off.

"Ha! Gotcha!" He said in victory once he landed on the ground. The problem was that the girl lived to burst creature's bubbles of victory.

"What you have is a serious case of the uglies, look behind you." She said and pointed, up and behind him.

"Uh-oh." He said and that was all he could say since the moment he turned around he was attacked.

"Diamond Storm!" The beauty said as she channeled the attack and launched it. While the attack was going on Takato, still in alien form, leapt over to join the others, but didn't miss a thing; which may have been bad since he saw his crush do one of the most dishonorable acts of them all.

'No way, she didn't think twice about absorbing him.' Takato thought after seeing that display of gluttony.

"Don't bother with the thanks, I did it for the data and that's all." She said in a cold tone, and that alone ticked off the juggernaut.

"Data?" The 10 foot man questioned causing her to look up at the yellow eyes. "Digimon, are living, breathing, sentient creatures, and you slaughter them without a care in the world." He added; she seemed sad over what he said to her, but he didn't buy it.

"He's right: they are alive." Henry added while giving Terriermon a hand back to his shoulder. She heard of what they said to her as they tried to appeal to her humanity, but the bruiser had a feeling that she had no humanity and she helped support that claim over what she said next.

"No. Digimon are nothing more than data." She was about to add something for her Digimon but was interrupted.

"Then in that case you wouldn't mind if you failed with a different slaughter and Renamon was killed – you would feel nothing. You would just walk off, not caring of her." The four armed one said which surprised them and then he added, "Not me pal I would never let anything happen to any creature especially a breath taking one be taken." He then slammed his upper arms over his mouth.

"Let's go, Renamon." The girl said not liking the air, particularly when the alien said that last part. When she turned the two females saw a small Digimon. "What is that little thing?" She questioned under her breath.

"Hi, wanna play?" Calumon looked up and questioned, not really noticing or was too oblivious of the kill that the canine made. There was a bright red flash, but the girl did not see it; she did hear a voice.

"Hey, don't even think about it." Takato said, he may have been human, but he wasn't about to let her kill another. She glanced back in anger and then looked down with some form of fear at the other creature.

"Come on, Renamon, why would I want to stay these Goggle-heads." She said as she walked off. The wind blew some of the battle around, but not a lot.

"Good riddance." Takato said before crossing his arms and adding, "What the slag is her problem?" There was still a bit of tension even after she left which was gone when Calumon talked.

"Finally, a little fun." He said which surprised the ones there, before hopping to the woods that were across their battlefield.

"Hold on, it could be dangerous out there." Takato warned, but had a feeling that what he said was pointless.

"It's dangerous around here with you two, and there must be other people more fun than you." Calumon said while bouncing. "Good-Bye Guilmon." He added and then he was gone.

"I really hope he'll be okay." Takato thought while thinking of that girl.

"He's a strange little Digimon." Henry said while thinking of all the Digimon he knew and added, "I've never seen anything like him. I don't think he even wants a tamer."

"Or how long the tamer would survive." Terriermon added while looking at Henry. The three of them looked at Takato and Henry decided to ask a question in a concerned tone.

"Are you going to be okay?" His question was a valid one considering of what he said to that girl.

"Peachy." Takato answered and with nothing else they went their separate ways: Guilmon to his home, Terriermon and Henry to their home, and Takato to his house. 'I seriously wish that you got a different partner, Renamon.' He thought and was also secretly hoping that she didn't read too much into that last part. The school was all in a buzz about the new changes that the battle made especially the two men:

"First it's chalk, now it's chalk and holes. I'm about ready to pave this area over with concrete."

"We already have a parking lot."

"You can be replaced you know." The students also saw it but their guess were just like last time, but with some lame twists. Takato and Henry heard them all and talked among themselves.

"Well, they would never believe us if we told them the truth." Takato said: knowing that these guys wouldn't accept something so 'outrageous'

"I know." Henry answered back. The two shared a good laugh before they were called in by Takato's teacher: Nami Asagi, one of the few people that cared more for school work rather than new land development.
