While it was good that Musuko and his friends were taking things easy and try to forget their problems. However, they'll have to face those problems eventually. In the meantime, all of them continued on with their normal days. All of them went to school like usual.

"Can you imagine that digimon attacking the city the other day?"

"I heard about the Snimon, but the other was enormous."

"I sure do hope everything is okay. What got into the digimon?" A lot of people kept talking about the recent attacks. Uria overheard them, but she thought all of them were being a little worrisome for nothing.

"Settle down, class." The teacher said as she was all trying to get them all to stop all the talking. "I know we all might be a little on edge, but I'm sure it's nothing that can't be handled. Now, we should all focus on the our school's upcoming festival. We still need some ideas. Does anyone have any?"

"Ooh! I do!" Uria called out as she didn't waste any time with the idea. "I was thinking of a fun sports café."

"A sport's café?" The teacher questioned.

"Yeah. It would be like a normal café, but it's sports-themed." Uria said. "I heard about this fun little place where the girls dress like cheerleaders and serve others. I thought we could do the same thing. Not only will it allow us to draw a crowd, but it's also original and a lot of fun."

"It certainly is an...interesting idea." The teacher said, but wasn't too certain about it. "Does anyone have any other ideas?" No one else in the class seemed to have anything, and some of them seemed to like the idea. "I guess we'll do that." Uria was glad her idea was going to work, but she did hear the muffling of a few girls. They didn't too sound happy about the idea. Uria overheard them and knew they were talking bad about her. She certainly didn't like that, but chose to ignore it for now.

...

Uria

"You suggested what?" Natalie questioned. Uria met up with Cassie and Natalie. She told them about the idea she had, and both of them weren't too sure about it themselves.

"A café that's sports-themed and the girls dress like cheerleaders?" Cassie said.

"Yeah. We will look great, and we can even do a dance to go with it. Give all the students and customers a good show." Uria said.

"Where did you even come up with an idea like that?" Natalie questioned.

"Mason told his mom about the festival. She told Mason that she did something similar back when she was in school and it was a lot of fun. She told Mason and Mason told me." Uria said. "I love the idea, and I want to try it myself." She seemed to love the idea, but Cassie and Natalie weren't so sure.

"And everyone was okay with that?" Natalie questioned.

"Yeah. No one seemed to speak against it." Uria said as she just ignored the talk she thought was going on.

"And who were you thinking would like to dress as a cheerleader while also working as a waitress?" Cassie said.

"Well, I was hoping my two best friends would be able to help me with that." Uria said.

"Are you serious?" Natalie said. "I'm not a cheerleader. I'm out there in the action, not off to the side supporting." Natalie was against the idea, but Uria was giving her a pleading face as she begged her to do it. "Come on, Uria. You know I'm not really a girly girl, I'm an athletic girl."

"But it's sports-themed. It shouldn't be a problem." Uria said.

"I'm with Natalie. This isn't my thing either." Cassie said.

"Trust me, girls. It will be fun." Uria said, but she was acting like she wasn't even listening to them. They could just tell that something bad was going to come out of this.

...

Outside

"Wait. She wants you and Cassie to dress like cheerleaders and serve and dance for people?" Benson said. Natalie met up with the boys when she could and told them about what Uria was planning. "But you're not really interested in cheerleading. You prefer to actually play sports."

"I know, but you know how Uria is when she sets her mind to something." Natalie said. "Cassie and I tried telling her that this didn't seem like a great idea, but she won't listen."

"So what are you going to do?" Benson questioned.

"I hope you know how to shake it." Mason joked, but Natalie just kicked him in the leg for that.

"The school festival aside... Have any of you heard anything from Mr. Tetsuya? Anything about what we're up against?"

"No. Things seem to be quiet so far, but that's what worries me." Natalie said. "I don't get it. What is going on in the Digital World?"

"I say we dive in and go take a look for ourselves." Musuko said. "If there's something really going on in the Digital World, we should be able to go straight there and face it."

"Not a good idea, Musuko. Especially since our enemies seem to have the ability to travel between both worlds whenever they wish." William said. "Whatever kind of enemy we're dealing with, this one is clearly methodical." All of this seems to have them worried. Before, the enemy came to face them or they found ways to face the enemy. That doesn't appear to be the case this time. As they tried to think, Musuko looked to the side and spotted his cousin heading off.

"Hey! Tyson!" Musuko called as he hurried over to him.

"Musuko." Tyson said as he didn't really seem interested in seeing his cousin.

"Where've you been stranger?" Musuko said. "We haven't seen you around that often. All the others were together, but sort of you didn't show."

"So?" Tyson said.

"So? You're not showing up when we all should get together." Musuko said. "It's almost like you're avoiding us."

"It's not like that. I just don't want to be where I'm not needed." Tyson said. Musuko didn't like the sound of that. Tyson tried to walk out of there, but Musuko placed his hand on Tyson's shoulder and stopped him.

"Tyson, are you okay?" Musuko asked.

"I'm fine." Tyson said as he just pulled himself away from Musuko and kept going. He just gave Musuko the cold shoulder and Musuko didn't like it. That just convinces him that something is bothering Tyson.

"Mason, what's going on with Tyson?" Musuko asked.

"I don't know. I wish I did." Mason said as he was concerned for his stepbrother as well. "I've tried getting him to talk to me, but he won't." Musuko didn't like this at all, but how can he help Tyson if Tyson won't talk about the problem?

...

Musuko

After school, Musuko went home and just hung around there. He just threw his soccer ball up and catching it. A lot has been going on and he just can't stop thinking about any of it.

"Musuko, Dad's almost got dinner ready." Koji said as he came into Musuko's room. "Is everything okay? You're thinking and you don't really do much of that? Don't tell me you're actually worried about the digimon."

"No. I know we can handle whatever is thrown at us." Musuko said. "Right now, I'm a little worried about Tyson."

"Tyson?" Koji said.

"Tyson has been acting rather distant lately, wouldn't you think?" Musuko said.

"You really think so?" Koji questioned.

"Just today, he practically blew me off. Not even Mason knows what's going on with him." Musuko said. Koji is starting to get a little concerned as well. What they don't know is that they and their friends are the reason for Tyson's behavior.

...

The Next Day

The next day at school, Uria was getting to work as she worked on all the details for her little sports café. She worked on sketches for the outfits and room.

"Here you go, Uria." Armadillomon said as he came in and gave samples of clothing. "Can you use any of this for those cheerleading outfits."

"Let me see..." Uria said as she tried giving those samples a good feel. "Yeah... That does feel nice. This material might work." Uria was looking forward to this, but she overheard a few girls talking behind her back. She could notice them giving her side glances, and they didn't look friendly. Uria couldn't take it anymore. She glared right at them and was able to get their attention. "If you have something to say, say it to my face."

"Sure." One of the girls said as she came over to her. "You're idea is horrible." She even grab one of her sketches in Uria's own face. "We're not wearing these cheerleader outfits, and we're don't want to do any of your other crazy ideas."

"So? Why didn't you say anything?" Uria said. "Besides, it can't be terrible since no one spoke against it."

"No one spoke against it because it would have been pointless." The girl said with anger. "You would have done it either way, you stubborn narcissist."

"A narcissist?! You're calling me a narcissist?!" Uria said.

"That's right. You're a spoiled brat and a stubborn narcissist." The girl said as she was really letting Uria have it. "You've been that way ever since we were kids. You think you're the light of everyone's light. You think it all revolves around you. Honestly, all you ever think about is what you want."

"I'm not like that." Uria said.

"Could have fooled me. Did you even ask anyone if they actually like to do this, or did you just assume people would because it was your idea?" The girl said. When she asked that, Uria didn't really know how to answer.

"Hey, leave Uria alone. Despite how she makes it sound, she has good intentions." Armadillomon said.

"Does that mean you feel the same, Armadillomon?" Uria said. If her own digimon partner thinks that way about her, maybe there is some truth to it. Not sure what else to say, Uria just ran out of there and it helped those girls proved they were right about Uria.

...

The Streets

After what happened back there, Uria appeared to have disappeared. Dark clouds began to form over the sky and rain began to pour down.

"Those dang weather men never get it right." Koji said as he and Gatomon hurried to get out of the rain.

"Hurry! I hate getting wet!" Gatomon said. The two of them kept running and tried to find some way to get out of the rain. However, Koji looked at the other side of the street and saw Uria and Armadillomon there. She looked like she wasn't even trying to get out of the rain and that was unusual behavior for her.

"Uria, we should hurry and get out of the rain. You're going to get all muddy and dirty, and I know you hate that." Armadillomon said, but she wasn't even listening to him. Uria just kept walking until she looked down a set of stairs and spotted Tyson and Agurmon just standing by the river.

"Tyson, come on. Just talk to me." Agumon said. Agumon hates seeing his partner like this, but he wasn't sure what he could do to help him.

"This is a surprise, seeing you like this." Uria said as she came down and stood with him. "I always thought you were full of life."

"Hey, Uria. Did Musuko and the others told you to come and get me or something?" Tyson said with annoyance.

"I don't even know what you're talking about." Uria said. "I've got my own problems to deal with." Unlike him, Uria actually wants to talk about it. "Tyson, I know we don't hang out that much, but do you think I'm a narcissist?"

"A narcissist? What makes you say that?" Tyson asked.

"Just something someone at school told me." Uria said.

"Well... I guess I'm one too." Tyson said. That caught their interest as Tyson seemed to finally be letting it all out. "I want to be a hero too. I want to be part of the action just like Musuko and Koji. It isn't fair since our parents are all part of the same team. Whatever they have that makes them heroes, I don't have it, and I hate it."

"Is that why you've been acting so distant?" Uria questioned.

"Why should I stick around somewhere when I'm not needed or anything?" Tyson said. "I can't be part of the big heroes club. Let's face it, Uria. The only things we could do is get in the way, cause problems for others. Why stick around somewhere we're not needed?" Tyson finally admitted what the problem was and he just left it at that. Agumon followed him, but didn't like Tyson talking like that. He also left Uria feeling the same way. They're both now thinking they're not needed or wanted by anyone. Koji overheard them and felt sorry for both of them. Now that he knows what's going on, maybe he and the others can do something to help them.
