Back to the Beginning

After minutes of walking aimlessly around, we found something that could float/paddle/bring us across the water to File Island. It was a swan boat that Matt used a lot the first time we came here. Everyone seemed glad to see it back, especially after it magically disappeared on us last time. It was taking us back to the first place we saw our digimon.

File Island is where I first met Tokomon, and lost him for the last time.

Back then we didn't know who we were or why we were here. Now? We know who everything we can and have to do, well almost. We know we have to save the Digital World, but we don't know what from.

I looked at my in-training digimon while we were walking around. Heck when I was a kid I thought all of Tokomon's digivolutions were going to be something of a pig. I remember laughing about the different ones I came up with. 'Porkymon with the super strong oink attack, AND the power to… um OINK! Or maybe Hogmon super hog smell with the power to snort up enemies!' Remembering it just made me chuckle to my self.

"TK are you alright?" Kari asked.

"Yup! I feel great, why?" Oh god, this can't be good…

"Oh, we've been asking you if Tokomon could digivolve at all."

"Um, sorry about that... I drifted off into some old memories. Ok, let's see you can digivolve Tokomon!" Tokomon hopped out of my arms and onto the floor. His pink figure could be seen concentrating on the task at hand. I didn't think that much thinking was needed to digivolve. I guess I could be wrong…

"Tokomon don't over do it!" Koromon scolded Tokomon. I guess he doesn't need to concentrate that hard.

"I guess we need to figure out how we'll all fit in the boat." Tai whispered.

"Why no make two trips?" Sora suggested.

"Ya, that sounds great!" Mimi agreed.

"I think it would be best." Matt nodded.

"I'll go with the first group to make sure everyone is alright while the second group gets there." Joe responded, responsible as always.

Tai nodded. "I guess its best. Joe, TK, Kari and Mimi will go first with me paddling. When I get back Matt, Sora and Izzy will go with someone else paddling. Will hold our digimon on the trip there and Koromon will stay with the others when I make the trip back."

"I'm not leaving you Tai!"

"There's not much you could do if you were with me either Koromon. Sorry buddy."

"Fine."

So we set off in our little groups. I helped Tai paddle on his way there, it was a smooth and nothing seemed to change that. We landed and Koromon jumped out, head down. I felt bad for the little guy. He never got a chance to speak.

Tai waved at us and sailed off, back towards where we came. It was getting dark so me a Joe decided on a plan if anything attacked us. According to Izzy there was a hiding tree somewhere in the forest. It was a matter of finding it. Tai said Koromon should know because he was the one that brought him Izzy and Motimon when we were attacked by Kuwagamon coming here. Me and Joe were to be decoys while Kari and Mimi got to the hiding tree. When they got there Koromon were to get us and bring us there. Hopefully we would be able to last until then.

Next thing was sleeping times. We needed to sleep, eventually; either now or later when the others get here. We thought of both just to make sure.

Next was a place TO sleep. It wasn't that hard to find things to sleep on, especially when you know what to find and what was comfortable. Pukamon and Tokomon found some leaves that looked similar to the one we used to sleep on and under. We got one for all the digidestined and talked amongst ourselves.

"TK, isn't File Island pretty?" Kari asked, smiling.

"Um, now that I finally getting to look at it, I guess." I blushed, I could feel the heat emitting from my face.

"TK! Are you okay? Do you have a fever?" Joe ran to me quickly.

"Joe, I don't think that's from a fever." Mimi giggled. I'm sure she knew, god damn it…

"It isn't a bad idea to make sure." Joe commented placing a hand on his forehead and one on mine. "You seemed to be a little warm, but I don't think you have a fever."

I sigh of relief. "Thank goodness." I heard Kari let out.

"Then why is he all red?" Nyaromon squeaked.

"Humans can be so weird sometimes." Tokomon countered. Thank god no one else mentioned my face.

Eventually the night came over the horizon and we were forced to sleep. Joe and Pukamon were first than Mimi and Tanemon. I was next with Tokomon and after us were Kari and Nyaromon.

However me and Kari's turn never came. I was never woken up and neither were Kari. Joe and Mimi stayed up the whole time keeping each other company. Knowing and understand Mimi, they were probably talking and maybe even flirting.

We were woken up around dawn. Tanemon, Koromon and Pukamon were still sleeping next to Joe and Mimi. Mimi had her head and Joe's shoulder and looked out towards the water. Joe's face showed a tint of red as he looked at her. I smiled at them.

Kari grabbed my hand and pulled me in. I turned at saw her rubbing her eyes with her other hand. "You wake TK?"

"More than you, sleepyhead."

I was only teasing, but still she hit me and giggled. "No I'm not. I've been awake for awhile now."

Ya right. "Sure, you were just lying around with your eyes closed."

"Yes."

"Sure-" My voice was cut off my Mimi's

"They're here guys!"

Me and Kari got up and walked over to the water. All four of us stood there waiting for the swan boat to come with our friends.

Sure enough, that's who they were, exhausted friends who traveled on the water even though they should have slept before leaving. Tai probably said they could make it.

"That was longer than I thought." Tai murmured.

I laughed. "Kari and I are rested. You guys can sleep, we'll watch guard."

Tai and Matt tensed. Something about that sentence was bugging them for some reason. "Fine." They both muttered under their breath.

Sure enough everyone fell asleep on the leaves we placed out. Me and Kari sat by the water watching the sun rise.

"You were here before, right?"

"Ya, this is where we landed when summer camp turned into the Digital World."

"It must have been fun, roaming the woods."

"Now? Probably. However back then we were more worried about how to get home."

I heard a soft chuckled. "I guess that's the main priority now too."

I nodded. "Let's check to see if Yolei sent us anymore mail."

Kari nodded and opened her D-Terminal, wide-eyed looking at something.

"Kari, are you okay?"

"Maybe, did you message me?"

I put my finger on my chin. "Last week, no two days ago asking-" Oh, did she have to read that now?

She flipped me her D-Terminal. "Do you send me this?"

"Why?"

"Answer the question."

"I don't remember what I sent Kari."

"Oh… sorry. I didn't get a message from Yolei."

"I didn't either."

"Maybe she sent it to Mimi again. That would make sense."

"Let's hope. I have a bad feeling a lot all of this."

Awkward silence filled the air as the others woke from their slumber.

"Well we better get going!" Sora said when she awoke.

"Ya, we have a Digital World to save!" Tai agreed jumping up. "Let's go gang."
