Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon

I should probably state the couplings before going on. It's TKxKari, YoleixKen, MattxSora and IzzyxMimi. I'm not a huge fan of some of these couplings but I don't really mind. I just read somewhere that Toei Animation had these four as the original couples but because the popularity was so spread out between couples that they picked two of them and gave everyone else mini versions of themselves, letting the fans decide which couples should be together. I wanted to write this story with the four original couples.

'TK wake up.'

TK just rolled over sleepily. When a hand shook his arm again he tried to brush the hand away.

'Takeru Takaishi, you told me to wake you up before I leave for work. If you're late for the digidestined gathering don't blame me. I have to go now.'

TK groaned and opened his eyes just as he saw his mother leaving his room. He rolled out of bed and began stretching. He smiled when he saw Patamon still asleep on the bed. He pulled on some clothes before trying to wake him.

'Go away Gatomon, I want to sleep.' Patamon grumbled when TK tried to shake him awake.

TK grinned. 'Aww...the first person you think of is Gatomon. Makes me wander about kind of dreams you were having.'

Patamon's eyes shot open and he flew up in panic. TK laughed, 'I won't tell anyone Patamon, just relax.'

TK pulled on his white hat and Patamon flew up on his head. He walked out of the apartment and grinned. The digidestined were meeting at the Kamiya's before heading into the digital world for a day of relaxation. TK went down to Yolei's family's grocery store. He had just bought breakfast for himself and Patamon when Ken and Wormon walked in.

'Hey Ken, Wormon.' TK and Patamon chorused. 'Meeting up with Yolei before we go?'

Ken laughed. Patamon jumped down to Wormon and the digimon began having a conversation. TK turned to Ken. 'When are you going to ask her out?'

Ken blushed. 'She's nice and everything but we're just friends.'

TK laughed. 'You guys sure are really friendly. Come on, it's obvious you like her and she likes you. Just ask her out already.'

At first Ken looked sceptical. Then he grinned. 'Maybe I'll ask her out when you and Kari start going out.' He laughed at how much TK was blushing.

'Kari and I are just friends.' He would have continued if Yolei, Hawkmon, Armadillomon and Cody hadn't walked in at just that moment. After the greetings everyone decided to walk to the Kamiyas together.

The digidestined were all sitting in the Kamiyas living room. Everyone was excited about going into the digital world.

Tai stood up and looked around. He couldn't help grinning at the sight of TK and Kari seemingly oblivious to the rest of the world. 'Is everyone here?'

'Everyone except Davis and Veemon. Davis probably slept in.' Armadillomon commented.

'It's been half an hour since we were meant to meet.' Ken said looking at his watch.

At that moment everyone started counting. '5...4...3...2...1...'

Gatomon, who had moved into position, opened the door. Right on cue Davis and Veemon, who had been running to the door, tripped through the doorway, landing flat on their faces. Everyone was laughing when they both got up.

'Davis slept in again.' Veemon said.

'We figured as much.' Tentomon replied.

'What are we doing standing here for? We should be going to the digital world!' Davis tried to draw attention away from the fall he had just gotten.

'We were waiting for you.' Matt grinned. 'Let's go everyone.'

Cody opened the port and everyone was sucked into the computer.

Kudaramon saw the bright glow as the twelve digimon and their partners came through the TV. They were here for a day of fun and yet Kudaramon knew how fate could twist. As she herself was about to prove. She spread her wings and launched into the air to find her partner. The Guardians needed to know the boy had arrived.

Biyomon saw something in the corner of her eye. She looked and thought she saw a shadow flying off. She blinked and refocused but now she couldn't see anything.

'Come on Biyomon!' Sora laughed. 'We don't want to be left behind.'

Biyomon shook her head and ran to her partner. It was probably just my imagination.

'Kudaramon! You're back!' Larisa grinned and caught her in her arms.

'They've arrived. They're near Primary Village.' Kudaramon told her.

'We should head off then.' Without them noticing the Northern Guardian and his digimon had come up and heard the information. It was Penguinmon who had spoken. Jason grimaced and nodded.

'Penguinmon digivolve to...Saberdramon!'

Jason looked at Larisa. 'Make sure my other friend doesn't get up to too much mischief.' At that Jason climbed on Saberdramon's back and they flew off towards Primary Village together.

Tai lay back, figuring he'd clean up the remnants of lunch later. The digimon had all ran off and were playing in the river. Mimi, Davis, Joe and Cody were helping Elecmon with the digimon babies. Izzy was sitting with him and fiddling with his computer, though Tai noticed he kept sneaking glances at Mimi. TK, Kari, Yolei and Ken were watching the digimon play in the river. He couldn't see Matt and Sora anywhere but figured they were spending some quality time together.

Tai looked at Izzy to see if he could catch him staring at Mimi again. To his surprise he was frowning, his attention completely on the screen.

'What's up Izzy?' When Izzy didn't reply Tai sat up and prodded him.

'What?' Izzy asked. Tai repeated his previous question. 'I don't know. It's like something's wrong with the balance but it's tiny, it might just be a glitch.'

'If it's small do we need to tell the others?' Tai asked.

Izzy looked at Tai. 'Not necessarily. It might go away by itself. Then again if it's a threat it might be better to wipe it out before it gets too strong. I dunno. You're the leader Tai. It's your choice.'

Tai bit his lip and made a decision. 'We won't tell the others yet. But Izzy, I want you to keep a watch on it and tell me if it grows.'

Penguinmon looked at Jason's face. 'Maybe we should just get this over and done with.' He suggested lightly.

Jason shook his head. 'Let him remain in the life he knows, just for a few more minutes.'

The pair stood silently at the edge of the forest. They watched the digidestined muck around, enjoying the sight of the carefree. The digimon sighed, remembering the life he and Jason once had. But then again he thought to himself the life we have now is good. It's just the change which is hard.

TK laughed as Gomamon got Palmon right in the face with a handful (pawful?) of water. The digimon were having fun. He glanced at Yolei and Ken chatting away. He grinned, hoping the couple would make it official. He looked at Kari and saw her staring at Yolei and Ken as well. When she looked at him he grinned causing Kari to burst out laughing. Ken and Yolei didn't notice.

TK looked around to see how everyone else was doing. Davis, Mimi, Joe and Cody were playing tag with the digimon babies while Elecmon looked on. Matt and Sora were sitting up in a tree talking. He grinned at the sight of the couple. However when he looked at Izzy and Tai he frowned. The two were bent over Izzy's computer looking concerned at something.

'I feel like a drink.' TK told the others as he stood up. 'I'll be back in a moment.'

Kari smiled and he felt his heart skip. 'Going to leave me behind with the love birds?'

'Kari, for the last time we're just friends.' Yolei had heard Kari's last comment.

TK looked at Ken. 'Geez, where have I heard that before?' Ken blushed but grinned.

TK walked over to Tai and Izzy. They had been talking so intently that they hadn't heard him come up. 'What's up guys?'

Tai and Izzy jumped at his voice. 'Nothing.' They both said at the same time.

TK simply raised his eyebrows. The three had known each other long enough to be able to communicate without words. Tai sighed. 'We think there may be something that might endanger the digital world.'

'But I thought we eliminated all the dangers after defeating Malomyotismon.' TK said.

'We thought so too.' Izzy replied. 'It still might be true. This...thing is affecting the balance but it's so small that it might not even be a danger. But then again it might become stronger. We may have to fight again.'

TK crumpled his hat in frustration. He looked at Tai automatically, wanting the leader to give him some instructions. As if he sensed the younger boy's eyes on him Tai looked up and TK saw Tai's eyes focus on something behind him. He whirled around to see what he was looking at.

'Who are you?' TK heard Tai say loudly. A figure had been standing in the trees watching them.

Another chapter finished. I realise that people may consider that I'm a Davis basher. I'm not, I like Davis. It's just something I can imagine him doing (falling through the door). It's something I can imagine myself doing. But moving on...
