Matt's eyelids fluttered one more time before they cracked open slightly, squinting at the brightness of the room.

The others immediately gathered around to see for themselves. Izzy pushed the red call button on the wall, and joined the others, hoping that the nurse would come soon.

Matt blinked a few times as his eyes adjusted to the light and the faces gathered around him. He started to speak, but instead started choking on the breathing tube that was down his throat.

Nurse Baker entered the room just as he started gagging.

"Hurry! He's choking!" Sora said urgently, as Matt started thrashing, trying to get away from the tube.

The nurse got a needle ready that she produced from her pocket and gave Matt an injection. He slowly quieted down then and lay still. The only sound that could be heard was his steady breathing through the tube and the beeping on the monitor to his heart beat.

"What'd you do to him?" TK asked, worried for his brother.

"I just gave him a sedative. He should be out for about a half hour."

"Why couldn't you take the tube out of his mouth?" Tai asked.

"The tube could have damaged his throat if he didn't hold still. Besides," she sighed, "I'm not sure if he is strong enough to breathe on his own."

"When can it be taken out?" Izzy asked.

"Before he wakes up again. I'll try in about 15 to 20 minutes and I'll see if he can breathe without it. Hopefully, the sedative wouldn't wear off before then..." A beeping sound interrupted her, coming from her pocket. "I'm being pages. I'll check back in a few minutes," she hurriedly left out the door.

Everyone was silent for awhile, all lost in their own thoughts. Izzy finally broke the silence, "Cheer up guys! He did wake up you know! And in another hour, we should know if my previous theory was right!"

Tai gave a half-hearted smile before he sat down on the floor exhausted. The last time he, or any of them, had gotten any sleep was when they were transported to the real world, and they had all been unconscious then. The time before that, all he could remember were the endless-seeming nights of listening to Matt's worsening cough.

Nurse Baker came back into the room. "Sora, your mom is in the waiting room. She wants you to go home now. As for the rest of you, visiting hours are over soon, in about a half hour."

Sora walked reluctantly towards the door. "Bye, let me know if anything happens while you are all here," she waved, then turned to follow the nurse out of the room.

"Let's all go down to the cafeteria and get a snack, this room is depressing," Tai got up off the floor. "TK, are you coming?"

"No," he shook his head.

Tai paused to see if the boy would say anything else. When TK remained silent, he left, Kari trailing behind him, glancing at TK. Izzy followed too.

TK continued to stare at his brother, lost in thought of memories long since passed. He didn't know how long he had sat there after the others had left, but was finally snapped out of his reverie when Nurse Baker entered the room. He told here that the other three had gone to the cafeteria awhile ago when he was asked.

"Should you try to take the tube out now?" He asked, looking up at her with big blue pleading eyes.

"I can give it a try. Cross your fingers." She walked over to the side of the bed across from TK. He turned away, not wanting to see the long tube being removed. When he turned back, the breathing apparatus had been successfully removed.

"If he wakes up, it is best that he talk as little as possible, because his throat will be incredibly sore." TK nodded as he listened to her. "Now, I have to leave soon, because my shift is over. You and your friends should probably do the same. I'll be back on my way out."

Tai, Izzy, and Kari were looking at the food, none of it looked appetizing in the least.

"I'm going back to the room," Kari said abruptly, then turned to leave.

"Do you remember the way?" Tai asked, concerned.

"Yes," she said quickly before she disappeared out the door.

She hurried to Matt's room and walked in. TK looked up. "Oh, hi Kari," he looked back at Matt.

She walked over next to TK, noting that the tube had been removed, but saying nothing.

"Has he woken up yet?" She asked, looking at him as well.

"Nope. I hope he does.."

"He will," Kari interjected quickly.

"How do you know?"

Kari shrugged. She walked over to the opposite side of the bed and took Matt's hand in her's, Tk holding the other one. She closed her eyes.

"Kari, are you okay?" He was about to say something else when she started glowing with a blinding yellow light, causing TK to cover his eyes.

"TK?" he heard a whisper and looked down at his brother, whom was looking back at him.

"Matt!" he exclaimed forgetting about the light.

Another light joined Kari's and Matt and TK noticed that the tags in their crests were glowing again.

Tai and Izzy looked down as they saw their tags start glowing. "What the---"
No one else seemed to notice as the glow from the necklaces engulfed the two boys and they disappeared.


* * *

TK and Matt disappeared as well, leaving Kari behind.

Everyone slowly opened their eyes.

"So mush for dinner," said Mimi who, along with Joe and Sora, had rejoined the group.

"Where are we?" Joe asked, rubbing his sore butt.

"Matt!" Tai and TK called in unison as they helped him to his feet.

"Weird dream!" Matt rubbed his eyes.

"I think that we are in the digiworld....." Izzy said, unsure.

Everyone else looked around at their surroundings; the whole area was dirt, the air dusty. There were dead trees all around, the only remains of the forest that they had stayed at the previous few days ago. "What happened?" Tai whispered.

"Shoot," Izzy spoke softly. "1 day in the digiworld is equal to one minute in the real world. 4 years have gone by here!"

"It looks like nothing has lived around here in a long time," Sora said....


Fin!! (finally!)

Who knows? You might get the answers if I ever decide to do a sequel!!
