Ruby looked around in surprise, Koromon beside her.

"Are we back in Odaiba?"

She scooped up Koromon, looking around.

"Yeah…I think I'm back…"

The first thought was her mother, and she raced home, Koromon under her arm. She went inside, but no one was there. She saw the calendar, and stopped short.

"I-Is it the same day?"

The date on the calendar not yet marked off was the same day they'd gone to summer camp! And, if her family had come back, they'd be here already.

"I think we were the only one's who got through, buddy…"

She heard footsteps, and turned to see a red-eyed, sleepy looking Michael.

"Michael? What are you doing here?"

"I got sick at summer camp, so they picked me up right away…why's Koromon here?"

Ruby looked at him in surprise.

"How'd you know his name was Koromon?"

"I don't know…I just do…"

He started talking with Koromon as Ruby tried to sort through everything.

'Maybe he's seen one before…I remember having that feeling when I first met Koromon…but…how is it the same day? Did I go back in time? Or does time pass faster in the Digital World?'

She made an omelet for the two, and she ate happily, Koromon eating plenty.

"That's the best meal I've had in a while…" Ruby muttered, clearing up the dishes.

She plopped down on the couch, turning on the A/C, and turned on the TV. The news was on, and she only paid mild attention…until she saw Meramon on the screen…

"Meramon!"

"So you can see them, too?"

She looked up at Michael.

"What?"

"I've been able to see them all day, but mom thinks I have too much imagination…"

"If Digimon are affecting OUR world while THEIRS is in turmoil…they must be connected somehow…"

She felt lost, helpless, for she had no idea of how to get back to the Digital World. The sound of static filled her ears, and she ran to the computer, seeing Anna's garbled face.

"Ruby…don't come back…too dangerous…"

"I can't just leave you guys!! Tell me how to come back!!"

"You're better off…where you are…"

The computer shut down, and Ruby cursed. She looked out the sliding door, over the balcony, and saw Tyrannomon in the distance.

"Tyrannomon!!!"

She grabbed Koromon and her Digivice, her crest still around her neck, and bolted for the door.

"Ruby?!"

"Stay safe, Mikey! I need to go!"

She ran out of the door, heading for where the Tyrannomon was, when he seemed to disappear like a hologram.

"Damn!"

"Ruby!!"

She turned to see Michael running towards her.

"Mikey!"

"Ruby, look!"

Both children looked up to see Ogremon across the street, people passing by him as if he weren't there. When he jumped across, Koromon jumped to meet him, and both jumped off walls, Koromon shooting bubbles at his enemy.

"Koromon, Digivolve!!"

In a bright flash of light, Agumon landed on a streetlight, shooting a Pepper Breath at Ogremon. A white circle opened up in the sky, and Agumon and Ruby were being lifted up.

"Ruby!"

She looked back at her cousin.

"I'll be back soon! Tell them not to worry about anybody! I'll look after them!"

He nodded, and Ruby smiled warmly as she and her partner passed through the gateway, and were thrown back into the Digital World…

'I'll find them! I SWEAR I will!'
