"In here!" Mr. Kolaho flipped on the light switch and escorted the four boys into a small room. "Now this is against my better judgment, but I need to go and personally escort Doug to the headmaster's office so I will be leaving you four in here alone for a few minutes. Mind you only a few! I'll be back soon and expect no noise from this room. I'll have the teacher next door check on you." The boys kept quiet and eyes glued to the floor. Mr. Kolaho exited the room closing the door tightly behind him. Waiting till they were sure he was gone, the boys said nothing.

"Izzy," Matt asked his tone more serious than anyone else's. "What in the world were you thinking?"

"I can't remember I just…"

"Obviously he wasn't thinking Matt," Tai laughed. "It was great one second Matt and I were talking and then next thing I know I see you smashing a plate of food in Doug's face. I thought he was going to kill you for sure!"

"He probably would have if you hadn't jumped in when you did Tai," Izzy sighed for a moment of relief but than Russ hadn't said a word.

"Zumie…" Russ stood away from the other three his arms folded as he leaned up against the wall and a small smile threatened to brake out across his face. The other three looked on in suspense. "That was something." Was all he said before Russ walked over to the window and opened the blinds. The sky hung as black as ever, but the clouds slowly showed signs of life, as huge raindrops began to fall to the ground.

"Well Izzy, looks like you've been accepted into the Mikayo clan." Matt mocked, Tai winced at Matt's remark knowing what was coming next, but it wasn't exactly what he'd expected.

"Yamato!" Russ glared out his window, "If you don't know what you're talking about I suggest you keep your mouth shut before it gets you into trouble."

Tai looked like you could have knocked him over with a spoon. Leaning over to Izzy he whispered, "I think Matt's right. The real Russ would have drilled Matt into the ground for looking at him wrong."

"And vise a versa," Izzy sighed, "Like last night when Matt wanted to drill Russ for following them when he was supposed to stay with Tara after she'd been knocked out. And by the way I resent you leaving her in the arms of Robie Miagi when you know full well I…" Izzy paused putting his finger to his chin in contemplation, "Wait a minute,"

"What?" Tai sputtered appalled, "Matt, emergency meeting, sorry Russ just the three of us you understand right..." Russ merely grunted in reply knowing full well they were freaking out about what may or may not have happened the day before. As the three got into there huddle, Russ simply stood at the window and watched the rain stream out of the clouds.

"Tell him what you just said." Tai instructed Izzy.

"I just re-accounted the incident last night where you and Russ were about to get at it when Nicki stopped you, but now that I think of it that wasn't a real event. I was just so confused it seemed so real at the time..."

"I had that dream too." Tai said excitedly "And so did Matt and Kari!"

Matt's eyes bulged "Do you think TK and the others did?"

"Or more importantly," Izzy looked over Matt's shoulder, "How about them?"

"No," Matt shook his head "I don't think so,"

"There's only one way to find out." Tai said turning his attention back to the window where Russ was standing. However the door swung open interrupting him before he had a chance to speak. Keeping silent the boys attempted to look repentant expecting to see a teacher checking in on them. Instead Robie's gravy stained baseball cap and smiling face poked through the gap.

"So this is where the Juvenile delinquents are kept." He scoffed stepping farther into the room "Not a very cozy place is it." He said looking around at there shocked expressions.

"What do you want Robie?" Tai asked.

"Oh I just wanted to commend the hero's of today's food fight," He said with a huge smile and taking Izzy's hand in a firm handshake, startled by the firm gesture Izzy froze, "I didn't know you had it in ya. We have officially taken you off the Geek list. Congrats, Zumie!"

"It's Izzy, thanks," Izzy pulled his hand back and Robie proceeded over to the window, "I think."

They watched with expressions of shock as Robie put his arm around Russ's neck and pulled him to the far corner.

"It was only a dream right?" Matt questioned,

"Well it could be an omen," Tai shrugged

"It could have really happened." Izzy insisted "I've never had a dream that real before, and when I woke up it was like…I don't know…I never really went to sleep."

"Explain Izzy, we're not getting very far as it is." Matt stated.

"Well, I don't remember talking to anyone on the Internet last night. But when I woke up this morning, my laptop was on and I was two clicks away from the digital portal." Izzy stated

"You could have just been clicking around last night and dozed off."

"But that's another thing, I was too far away from my laptop to have just dozed off, and I know I don't sleep on the floor with my feet on my bed!"

"Hey I didn't think I slept in my clothes either," Tai shrugged.

"Where are you going?" Matt spotted Russ following Robie out the door.

"The bathroom!" Russ shrugged

"No you're not and you're going to get us into more trouble!" Matt scolded

"No I'm not, you think I'm headed to the bathroom," Russ said "So just don't lie and you'll be fine." He closed the door behind him. Leaving the three alone in the room.

"UGH!!" Matt clinched his fists, "He gets under my skin more then you used to!" pointing at Tai.

"Oh, that's good to know," Tai said "Should I alert the digital world and Cherrymon or are you going to talk it out instead of duke it out this time?"

"Very funny, besides weren't you going to ask him something?" Matt said heading to the window, "I could just beat him out." Matt smiled at the thought.

The rain poured down hard on the wet ground, lightening and thunder flashed rapidly across the sky. Nicki could hear the rumble and her heart jumped. Seeing the white flash of light bleed through the blinds, her eyes lit up with excitement.

"WOW!" A girl in the back jumped to her feet and flung the blinds open. Bolts of lightening illuminated the sky, everyone in the room Ooed and awed as they crowed around the window. Even the teacher was caught up in the amazing display.

Nicki glanced back to see that every seat was empty, then took a double take to see a football rolling in through the gap in the door. A smirk crossed her face as she slipped out of the crowd to the door. Being sure she wasn't caught by anyone she picked up the ball and slipped out the door.

The hallway was empty and silent as she tiptoed down toward the stairway. At the bottom she met Russ, and Robie who were impatiently waiting.

"Hey," Nicki smiled, "One of you loose something?"

"Ha! Told ya she'd get the hint." Robie nudged Russ.

"Now let's just hope Tara or Luke got theirs." Russ sighed.

"Whose bright Idea was this?" Nicki asked and Robie raised his hand, "And you're the only one with a free period right now, how convinant, and where are you supposed to be Russ?"

"They had us locked in a closet."

"Together?" The two boys nodded together. Giggling she tossed the ball to Russ, "We still don't have enough for a real game."

"Sure we do," He replied, "The three of us against the two of you. Seems far to me."

"How about I join you?" Sora's voice came from the stairs behind Nicki making them all jump.

"How'd you?" Robie gawked

"I followed Nicki," Sora shrugged, "So girls against guys then?"

"You realize were all going to be in trouble for ditching," Sora turned pink and shrugged while Russ nodded in full approval. "Behold the corruption of yet another."

Suddenly two figures ran down the hall towards them, whispering wildly at each other.

"I can't believe you looked!" Tara's voice giggled

"I didn't look, I was making sure no one suspected anything." Luke's voice said defensively. The two came into focus.

"Oh admit it your just so gullible!" Tara said smiling at the group as she approached "So whose got the ball…Sora?"

"Sure I'll take the ball first," Sora smiled

Robie laughed at Tara's expression, "That's right Tara, we'll give you the home field advantage."

"Oh that's so kind," Tara said pushing him out the door into the rain "But if I recall you needed it last time so you go!" The rain poured down and everyone was soaked almost immediately. The field they chose was the soccer field furthest from the building after all if they were going to get caught they needed some extra time to make there get away and the field's grass had been torn to shreds so it was mostly mud.

"Ready? Set! Watch out!" Russ snapped the ball and tackled Nicki into the wet muddy grass. She wrestled him over and pushed herself to her feet, sprinting towards Luke who was running the ball toward the soccer goal posts. Her and Sora made direct contact with Luke pushing him back into the mud.

"YES!" Nicki jumped up "No mercy!" Giving Sora a high five.

"5 yard rule, second down." Tara said

"What!?" Luke said pointing at the ball, "I made it 6 yards!"

"6 feet!" Tara corrected, "There are 3 feet in a yard."

"Ready? Set! Go!" Russ snapped the ball again to Luke and he passed it to Robie. Who jumped over Tara and collided with Nicki.

"At least you made it farther then he did." Sora stated to Luke. Robie rolled over and starred at Nicki who was laughing in the mud.

"Die you!" He jumped up and smothered her in the mud.

"Oh it was a fumble!" Tara said picking up the ball that Robie had dropped and ran for the in zone! Dodging Russ, but Luke continued to gain. She tossed it to Sora just in time, as Luke snatched her legs and tackled her into the mud.

"One for the girls!" Sora shouted as she danced in the in zone.

"That was not fair," Robie said.

"Are we going to need a referee here?" Nicki stated placing her hands on her hips.

"NO!" Russ said "Not if you girls are gonna play right!"

"Oh so it's us not playing right, is it bro?" Tara said back "I think your head didn't quite get screwed on straight this morning!" As they argued Sora, paused. There was something else in the distance, other then the thunder.

"Wait everyone listen!" Sora shouted, "What was that?" Everyone stopped and listened for awhile but herd nothing.

"You're hearing things Sora!" Nicki stated shoving Russ down into the mud. They began to argue again except Tara and Sora. Who stood still and listened hard.
