Chapter 3

Getting to know another

Once Renamon took Skyler home to the front door and disappeared Skyler took a deep breath. "Ok if Im making friends its also about time I stop giving moth-! Mom the cold shoulder... Mom thats going to take time", she thought.

Skyler hadnt called her mother 'mom' since her father died but she knew that her mom had felt pain for his death as much as she had yet she pushed her away but not anymore takin another deep breath she opened he door. "Mom Im home", she called out.

"Welcome home Sky"-!

Skyler's mother Arisa quickly went to Skyler her faced shock. "Wait what did you call me"? She asked.

Skyler gave a small smile. "I called you mom thats who you are", she said.

Arisa gasped tears in her eyes as she hugged Skyler tightly. "Oh little Sky", she said softly.

Skyler's eyes got a little watery as she hugged her mom back. "Mom Im sorry for pushing you away I just"...

"Shh its ok I know it was hard when your dad died it was on both of us so dont worry", Arisa assured with a soft smile.

"Yet I cant help but feel so guilty", Skyler frowned.

"Dont worry so much on it Sky I knew you were in pain it'll take time but we'l get through this", Arisa said stroking Skyler's hair.

Skyler nodded as she leaned to Arisa's hug missing the familiar warmth of her mom then she pulled back. "Um mom at Saturday some new friends of mine are coming over at noon", she said.

"So you made new friends"? Arisa asked surprised yet happily.

"Yeah and like I said they'll be here at noon", Skyler said.

"Alright well I'll make sure to give them a warm welcome", Arisa smiled.

"Thanks I'm going to my room now got homework to do", Skyler said.

"Alright I'll call you down for dinner", Arisa said.

"Thanks... Love you mom", Skyler said softly.

Arisa smiled gently and kissed Skyler's crown. "Love you too dear", she said.

Skyler then went upstairs to her room closing the door and sighed as she flopped on her bed.

"I take it things end well".

Skyler sat up to face Renamon and allowed her blue-white hair out of its braid as she shrugged. "Its a start its still going to take time for the ice to melt", she said.

"And that's why you'll be needing your new friends", Renamon said.

Skyler nodded then her mind drifted to her dream and gulped in ache and nervousness.


Skyler brushed her hair wearing her regular attire and was slightly nervous it was Saturday and almost noon meaning Tai and the others will be there soon. "You shouldn't worry you know".

Skyler looked at Renamon who looked amused and kind. "I guess I'm just worried I might say something insensitive or harsh", Skyler sighed.

"Just be yourself and you'll be fine", Renamon said.

"Easier said then done Renamon", Skyler said as she grabbed a white headband carefully putting it on her head.

"Letting your hair out"? Renamon asked surprised.

"Yeah thought about trying something new and make sure you go meet them outside", Skyler said.

"Right".

Renamon then disappeared as Skyler gulped hoping everything would go well.


"Are you sure this is the right way Tai"?

"It says so on the paper so relax".

Tai and the other Digidestines were all heading to Skyler's home to see her Tai deciding to bring the whole group. "So are you sure you want to help Skyler, Tai? I mean I heard from some of the other kids in my class that Skyler is very hard to reach plus very harsh", Sora said.

"Believe me Sora I really want to help Skyler those guys that told you that stuff don't know the pain she's been through", Tai said solemnly.

Tai then remembered Skyler's tears and the pain in her eyes then he clenched his hands. "No one should go through that much pain especially someone like Skyler", he thought.

Kari looked at Tai curiously. "Brother really seems dedicated to help Skyler like Davis wanting to help Ken yet theres something more to it though", she thought.

"Ok I think this is the-! HOLY COW"!

They all looked and gaped to see a wondrous mansion like home with an amazing garden. "Tai you sure you read that paper right"? Matt asked gaping still.

"Im pretty sure I did", Tai said gaping too.

"But this place is like a mansion"! Davis exclaimed.

"You got that right"! Demiveemon said agreeing.

"Make no mistake this is indeed Skyler's home".

They all jumped hearing the voice and looked around then Cody gasped. "Look on the apple tree"! He said.

They all looked and gasped to see Renamon sitting in the shadow part of the apple tree yet the others were able to see her as she ate an apple. "Hey your that digimon I saw with Skyler", Tai said.

"Yes that's right my name is Renamon and I'm Skyler's partner and I came to tell you all a message from Skyler", Renamon said.

"A message"? Izzy asked.

"Yes and its this those who have their digimon partners with them should sneak in the house with me for Skyler's mother doesn't know of me or Skyler being a digidestine", Renamon explained as she bit her apple.

"That's good to hear the warning", Gatomon said.

"Seeing that none of you have anything to hide your digimon its best they come with me", Renamon said as she finished her apple.

"Alright then lets go", Lunamon said jumping off of Amber's shoulder and to the tree branch next to Renamon.

All the other digimon did the same Renamon helping them then she faced the others. "You guys go inside I'll make sure they get in", she said.

"Thank you Renamon", Amber said.

"I'm only doing this for Skyler no need to thank me", Renamon said.

Then with the other digimon they all disappeared then the others walked to the front door Tai pressing the doorbell and it chimed they waited until the door opened to show Arisa her hair let down and wearing chef's clothing. "Ahh! You must be Skyler's friends come on in", she said with a smile.

They walked in looking around in amazement at the beauty and gracefulness of the house. "Wow this is incredible", Sora said.

"Mimi would really love a place like this", Joe said.

"That's for sure", Yolei said nodding in agreement.

"I'm Skyler's mother Arisa let me get Skyler for"-

"No need mom".

They all looked at the stairs to see Skyler and they loked at her surprised. "Woah she's smiling", Davis thought.

"Yet her eyes are so cold and lonely", Ken thought.

Skyler walked down to the last step and lightly bowed. "Its a pleasure to meet you all my name is Skyler", Skyler said.

"My name is Davis great to meet you", Davis said grinning.

"Hi Im Yolei great to finally meet you Skyler", Yolei said smiling.

"Im Cody nice to meet you", Cody said bowing.

"I'm T.K., Matt's younger brother nice to meet you", T.K. said smiling.

"I'm Kari, Tai's younger sister its really great to meet you", Kari said kindly.

"I'm Amber, T.K.'s and Matt's sister nice to meet you", Amber said politely.

"I'm Ken and its a pleasure to meet you", Ken said bowing.

"Pleasure to meet you all and you guys don't have to do introductions considering I have you guys in some of my classes", Skyler said to the older Digidestines.

"Mom we'll be going to my room you should head to work now".

"Right make sure to call me if need anything", Arisa said hugging Skyler.

"I know and I will love you", Skyler said.

"Love you too", Arisa smiled.

Once Arisa left Skyler faced the others. "Come on you guys", she said.

They all followed her Skyler upstairs walking down the hall. "Your mom is really nice", Sora said.

"She is but sometimes she can be a little over protective in a way", Skyler said lightly chuckling.

They then reached a door and Skyler opened it to see Renamon showing the other digimon something. "What are you showing them Renamon"? Skyler asked as they walked in her room.

"Wow Skyler is so talented"! Patamon said.

The others looked and gasped to see beautiful paintings of landscapes which they recognized as the Digital World. "Wow these are amazing", Joe said getting a closer look.

"Did you painted these Skyler"? Tai asked in awe.

Skyler had a faint blush on her face as she nodded. "Yeah I have a knack with painting", she said.

"I have to say these paintings are very exact as if your really seeing the Digital World", Izzy said.

"Yeah well when I first came to the Digital World it got me inspired seeing how amazing it was and it got me to paint it", Skyler said sounding embarrassed.

"So um mind introducing me to your digimon"?

"Oh well this is my partner Demiveemon", Davis said.

"Hiya"! Demiveemon said cheerfully.

"This is my partner Poromon", Yolei said.

"Pleasure to meet you", Poromon said.

"Upamon is my partner", Cody said.

"Nice to meet you", Upamon said.

"This is my partner Lunamon", Amber said.

"Hello", Lunamon said.

"This is my partner Patamon", T.K. said.

"Hi its nice to meet you", Patamon said.

"Meet my partner Gatomon", Kari said.

"Hello", Gatomon said.

"And this is my partner Wormmon", Ken said.

"Its nice to meet you", Wormmon said.

"And what about you guys"? Skyler asked the other Digidestines.

"Our digimon live in the Digital World they have some responsibilities there", Sora explained.

"I see well you guys already met Renamon", Skyler said motioning to Renamon who nodded.

"So Skyler how long have you been a Digidestine"? Yolei asked curiously.

"3 months really so not long", Skyler said.

"So how come we never seen you in the Digital World before"? Kari asked surprised.

"I come to the Digital World through my computer and me and Renamon mostly help a village that's near the portal we do things like helping other digimon or catching criminals", Skyler shrugged.

"You guys wouldn't have known I was there or me being a Digidestine to begin with if it hadn't been for this stubborn one over here".

Skyler pointed at Tai who so happened was sitting next to Skyler with a grin on his face. "Im sorry for my brother", Kari sighed.

"Don't worry about it I'll get used to it since he'll be sticking to me like glue no doubt", Skyler assured with a sigh.

"That's right", Tai said smiling.

Everyone sweat dropped yet Skyler couldn't help but lowly chuckle. "Hey Skyler did you win these"?

Skyler looked to see Davis pointing at some medals and a trophy. "Huh? Oh yeah I won those in some soccer matches", she said.

"You play soccer"? Davis asked surprised.

"When I was around 11 but I stopped after getting in high school", Skyler explained.

"How come? You must've been good to win these medals", Ken said.

"Yeah these are impressive", Amber said.

"You got that right", Lunamon said.

Skyler only shook her head having a faint smile. "I just thought I might not have enough time to play soccer considering with all my studies", she said wistfully.

Tai saw this then looked and saw a soccer ball on her desk then got an idea. "Hey why not we go to the Digital World and play soccer", he suggested.

"Huh"? Some of them said surprised.

"Yeah! Lets go"! Davis said excited.

"That's sounds like fun", Amber said smiling.

"What do you say Skyler? Want to play too"? Tai asked with a smile.

Skyler looked at him surprised but then she sighed and went to her drawer getting her crest and Digivice putting on her crest. "I guess it would be fun but I'm a little rusty so you might have to bare with me", she said.

"That's no problem. Right guys"? Tai asked.

They all nodded smiling and Skyler couldn't help but lightly smile as she turned on her computer and Davis grabbing the soccer ball. "Alright Digi-Gate open".

The laptop glowed as they were all sent to the Digital World.
