The digidestined sat huddled with their digimon around a small fire that they had set up in a hurry. They sat in comfortable silence as the wind howled and wooshed around them. The spattering of the rain hitting the old wooden roof alongside the wind and the crackling fire was the only noise heard. Finally, Tai spoke through the tsunami that they were sure was happening around them.

" Hey guys, maybe we should head back to Earth since it doesnt look like this stupid storm is ending soon."

The digimon and their children thought this idea over and they had all agreed. As they grabbed all the stuff that they had set down in a hurry, they thought back to how the weather could have changed so quickly on them.

~~~~~~~ 3 HOURS EARLIER~~~~

" Matt hurry up and finish getting dressed or we will be late!" shouted Tk from the room beside his brother's. Since the digidestined were out of school for summer break, all of them thought it was an awesome idea for them to go visit the digital world for a picnic with their digipartners. After all, they hadn't seen them since the incident with Meicoomon. They had missed their partners a great amount. Hearing this, Tk brought it upon himself to go over to Matt's and his father's apartment because he knew that his brother would end up late. Thus, he wanted to avoided this at all cost but his brother still thwarted his plans of leaving early. See, Matt is a night owl and spent the entire night writing song lyrics for his band. Around 4 am, Matt finally went to bed. And of course, Matt slept through Tk trying to wake him up. Tk had used everything he knew that he thought would work but his stubborn brother remained asleep. So while his brother was getting his precious beauty sleep, Tk packed his bag and some of Matt's. This didn't take very long though so he enjoyed some breakfast with his dad to pass the time.

Tk was watching tv on the couch when his brother finally emerged from his bedroom. "What time is Tk?" questioned his still half asleep brother as he rubbed his eye. "It's almost noon." Tk replied a little grouchly. Once it registered through Matt's sleep-idled mind, he frantically raced back to his room to get his bags packed. As he raced to pile things into his bag, he yelled "Why didn't you wake me up Tk!" and sassily Tk replied " I DID, I tried everything but you wouldn't wake up so I gave up." Matt chose the right thing and remained silent. Tk can be scary when he wants to be and since he was already in a foul mood, Matt didn't want to chance getting yelled at more by his brother. Finally, Matt had his bags packed and they were on their way to the meeting spot. When they got there, everyone else was already there waiting on them. The others had already been told what had happened, so once they arrived Tai of course had to tease his best friend. "Well looky here, the sleeping beauty has arrived!" in which Matt got worked up and he shouted back "Shut up! I was busy last night." Tai just snickered at his response as Izzy opened the portal to the digital world.

When they finally dropped into the digital world, they were greeted by their partners. Each of the digidestined bent down and hugged their partners tight. No one was embarrassed by this because they all had missed the adorable digimon so much. Some "cough" Matt "cough' had been going through some withdrawal symptoms from being away from his digimon for so long. After the children had hugged out the digimon, they started walking to find a perfect place to picnic. Eventually, they had stumbled upon a perfect area to eat, it was an open field covered in small flowers. As they enjoyed the wonderful home cooked meal that they brought, they started talking about what their digi partners had been up to until now. Most of their replies consisted of them just relaxing or stopping a few troublesome digimon here and there. They continued their conversation until they had gotten stuffed mainly referring to when augumon finished because they all knew he had an endless stomach. They digidestined didn't want to head back yet so they continued to talk to their partners. Then, all of the sudden, Matt felt the first rain drop hit his head. He quickly told the others and they hurried and gathered everything and started to run. They continued to run until they spotted an abandoned hut located on the beach not too far from their picnic area.

They hastily put their bag along the wall so that they could dry. Matt started to shiver a bit from the rain and gabumon saw this from the corner of his eye. He didn't immediately go over to Matt because he knew he would get embarrassed, so he waited until everyone settled down to walk over. He sat right beside Matt and leaned against him hoping to give him some warmth. On Matt's other side sat Tk huddling up to his big brother for warmth as well since patamon didn't have fur to help him stay warm. Matt knew what gabumon was doing but acted as though he didn't see him. He rather keep his pride then ask his digimon for something like this plus he was also freezing because of the stupid rain! They had set up a small fire a while ago but it was truly too small to keep anyone very warm. So there they sat, dripping clothes huddled as close to the fire as they dared waiting for them to warm up enough for them to move.

~~~~~NOW~~~~

As the digidestined got all of their things and got ready to open the portal back home, they failed to notice the evil presence that had been watching them since they arrived in the digiworld. Of course, they didn't have to worry yet, as this mastermind had so much planned for the children.
