I am soooooooo sorry for how long its taken to get just this much out guys but I haven't had any inspiration or confidence in what I've been writing and I was even on the verge of giving up on this story completely and the lack of any comments hasn't helped in me knowing if what I'm writing is good or not. But I'm going to give this another try even though this chapter isn't completed so for now just think of this as a sneak peak until its all done. And please review, ask questions, basically give me any kind of feedback.

The next day everyone got a couple days off from school so that the proper authorities could inspect the building to see if there was any structural damage to the building or anything suspicious that was left behind from the fire. Meanwhile our heroes were taking the time to spread out their search for any potential digidestined. But someone was a bit reluctant to start.

"You got to be kidding me?!" Kazu whined out loudly.

They were all in the main lounge of the apartment building trying to deal with a stubborn Kazu who didn't want to search. Since they wouldn't be in school they had decided to bring the digimon with them at least the ones that could hide in plain sight like the ones who could dedigivolve to In-training or phase everywhere like Renamon or the ones who could carry their partners in their digivices like the DATS team and fusion loader teams (minus Agumon cause of his tendency to get out of the digivice at random times). But with the way things were going it seemed like they were never going to be able to get started.

"Come on Kazu we really should get started already" Kenta said with a sigh.

"Not you too Kenta you have to realize that this is pointless right" Kazu said in a whining voice. After the words escaped his lips he suddenly found himself suspended in air courtesy of an annoyed Marcus.

Raising Kazu from the back of his shirt to eye level Marcus gave the shorter boy a glare "And what exactly is so pointless?".

Now smart men would have the common sense to not mouth off to someone who can knock down a 20 foot monster with their bare hands and with one punch "I said it's pointless cause it is and if you can't see that ponytail then you definitely should be back in school!" Hey I did say smart men.

As Marcus pulled his arm back ready to punch the smaller teen all the while Yoshi, Thomas, Keenan and Kristy were trying their best to hold him back Izzy went over to Kazu. "I think we're all confused by what you mean, it would help if you could please elaborate on what you mean by this being pointless? I would hurry though they won't be able to hold him long" he said calmly as he took a glance at Marcus as he struggled out of his front grasp.

"Hmph Gladly" He said with a high and mighty tone "First of all I'd like to ask you all what you were planning on doing?" earning him confused looks.

"Uhh the same thing as yesterday trying to find who could possibly be the digidestined of this world, you know are mission" JP said to him with the last part of his sentence coming out in a sarcastic tone.

"Exactly!" he exclaimed pointing his finger at JP "But why are we looking for them? It's not like we can actually find them like you said we would only be guessing on who we think could possibly be a digidestined not who will be one all we're doing is wasting our time with hunches that might not even be right."

Finishing his speech everyone was left stunned. He was right they were basically searching blind. But the thing that stunned them more is that Kazu was the one who realized this first.

"Hmmm that is true, until the leaders of the digital world are finished with creating the digivices for the new team and open the gateway we won't have any way of knowing who it is the digital world was trying to pick." Izzy said while thinking.

"Then what do we do?" Mimi asked him.

Walking towards the door Marcus responded saying "I don't know about you guys but I'm still going, I mean what's the harm in getting to know some of the people around here right? In my opinion I think I'd probably fight harder for this world if I had more connections to it." Walking out of the building to look around.

Thinking about what he said they all agreed that they would still go out, even Kazu after being persuaded by Rika. So they all went either on their own or went in groups in different directions.

Belldock village

In the small town near the school we find Mimi dragging Izzy with her to look at the local shops while he kept typing on his computer. Going through at least three stores with Mimi taking thirty minutes each to look in the stores. Finally they went to a small cafe to eat with Mimi looking at her friend annoyed as he still typed on his computer. Tapping her fingers on the table with her cheeks puffed in annoyance she stared down the person infront of her as they seemingly ignored the world around them.

"I'm getting a feeling of deja vu right now" she said annoyed.

"What makes you say that Mimi?" he asked without even looking up.

"Sigh Izzy remember when we were on our first adventure in the digital world?" after he said yes "And remember when we were at the temple on file island?" hearing another yes "Now can you tell me what I did during that time?" she said while glancing below the table at Tanemon and Motimon as they ate some pastries she bought them.

"Well you wound up running into the maze of the temple after getting upset" he answered her wondering where she was going with this.

"Yes now can you tell me what made me upset that that happened?"

"I think you said that you thought I was ignoring you while I was studying the hieroglyphics on the walls" .

"Izzy"

"Yeah"

"I'm upset"

With that he finally stopped typing on his computer and looked at the girl in front of him. For the first time today he saw her annoyed face. He winced as the realization hit him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't even realize it I've just been trying to record all the information that we've learned so far in the short time we've been here." he apologized to her with his hands together and bowed slightly in his seat.

Giggling she smiled at him that made him blush "I accept your apology but to make up for unintentionally ignoring me no more computer for the rest of the time we're out, okay?" giving him a mischievous grin.

Although worried about the look she gave him he silently agreed by closing up his computer. Happy that he had agreed Mimi didn't even notice that their waitress had come as she gave the boy a hug. Holding a pad and pencil while wearing a yellow top, black leggings and a black smock was a dark skinned girl with long straight brown hair and green eyes with C-cup breasts and small but round ass. Staring at the two digidestined while tapping her pencil on the pad waiting patiently for a moment before making her presence known.

"Hi my name is Kaitlyn and I'll be your server today is there anything I can get for the happy couple?" she asked them with a smile.

While a burning red faced Izzy stuttered embarrassed trying to answer a slightly pink faced Mimi answered "Um we're not a couple but I would like to order a coffee for me and a herbal tea for my friend."

Jotting down the order Kaitlyn gave them one more smile before walking away saying that she'll be right back with their orders. Now alone again they sat there in a tense silence.

After the awkwardness had lessened the two of them enjoyed a nice talk over their drinks before heading out shopping. Mimi had told him that this was the last store she wanted to look in. What surprised him about this store was that it wasn't a regular clothing store he assumed it would be it was a camping and survival store.

"What are we doing in this kind of store?"

While she was looking at a tent she replied saying "Why do you think to get camping gear."

"No I understood that part, what I don't understand is why you want to buy camping gear?" he asked her confused.

"Well so that we're prepared for when we go back to the digital world and we all don't have to sleep on the ground or out in a storm of some kind." she said as she wrote down the item numbers of tents, canteens, and sleeping bags on a piece of paper.

Walking up to the cashier she handed the piece of paper to them "Hi there I'd like to order these items for 45 people and can you ship them to this address for me?" she asked them sweetly.

After making her purchases they left the store with Izzy asking her where she got the money to pay for all of it and his only answer was her saying that it's a secret with her tongue sticking out. They were all ready to go back to the apartment when they saw people running away from the port screaming about a monster in the water. So off they ran with their partners in their arms towards the port to see if this monster was actually what they thought it was.

Earlier at the port
