A/N: Off to the Digital World! That's all I'm saying in this a/n. Thanks to everyone who reviewed. But the reviews are slowing. I need more!!!
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon so sit down, shut up, and just read the story.

Chapter 7: Reunions.

The tamers and digidestined flew through the portal and landed in the middle of the digital world.
"This place sure has changed. Where exactly are we?" Matt asked. Kari pulled out a device, which looked similar to Takato's mobile communicator. It was her d-terminal.
"We're somewhere on Server." She said. "Although I'd prefer to be on File Island because that's where the digimon usually are."
Rika looked into the sky. "Renamon!" She cried. The yellow fox materialized in front of her.
"Rika, it's been a while." She said.
"Oh Renamon," Rika said crying and hugging the fox. "Do you know where the others are?"
"Cyberdramon, Terriermon, Impmon, and Calumon are staying in a cave with me. I'll take you there. I don't know where the others are. But I believe they are on File Island." Renamon replied.
"Ok then, let's head to the cave. We'll start there and then proceed to File Island. How far is the cave?" Rika asked.
"It's about a five minute walk from here."
"Good. Let's go." Rika said smiling.
Renamon led the group through the desert to a large cave. When she stepped inside, she called to the others.
"Calumon, Terriermon, Impmon, Cyberdramon, come out here!"
"We're coming Renamon. I don't know why we have to come out, why don't you come in. What are you lazy?" Terriermon said as he walked out.
"So much for tact." Henry said smiling.
"Henry!" Terriermon cried literally flying into his tamer's arms.
"I've missed you so much." Henry said with tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Wow! Hi everybody!" Calumon said bouncing out of the cave. "I haven't seen you in so long! Did you come to play?"
"You stupid creampuff. How did they get here is my question." Impmon said walking out behind Calumon.
"Hi Impmon." Rika said smiling.
"How have you been?" Jeri asked with the same smile.
"Hey girls." He replied casually. Of course, this did not last long and he went flying into Jeri's arms and then Rika's. The two girls laughed.
Cyberdramon came out last and nodded to Ryo.
"Hey buddy. How have ya been?" Ryo asked smiling at his partner.
Cyberdramon just stood there and Ryo jumped at him, crying.
"So what's the fastest way to File Island?" Ryo asked.
"According to my D-terminal we'll have to go across Server, then the ocean, then we'll be on File Island." Kari explained, typing on her Terminal. "Unless I do this." Kari said, putting her terminal on the ground.
"Hello kids. Although you're not kids anymore." A holographic image of a man said.
"Gennai!" The digidestined exclaimed.
"It's so good to see you." Sora said.
"Gennai, could you do something to send us to File Island quickly? We want to see our digimon." Kari said.
"Of course. Hold on. I'll send a ride." Gennai said. "Ok, it'll be there in a minute."
Gennai closed off the link as two small digimon came running towards the group. One was blue and the other was green.
"Davis!!!"
"Ken!!!"
"It's Veemon!" Davis cried.
"And Wormmon!" Ken said.
"Davis! I've missed you!" Veemon said jumping into Davis's arms.
"Oh Veemon." Davis said, crying.
"Ken!" Wormmon said, crying.
"I've missed you so much buddy." Ken said, also crying.
After they calmed down, Davis and Ken figured out what their ride was. Veemon and Wormmon DNA digivolved to Paildramon, then digivolved again to his mega form. Everyone was transported inside and seconds later they were on File Island. When everyone was out, they dedigivolved back to Wormmon and Veemon.
"Gennai was standing waiting for them, surrounded by Agumon, Gabumon, Biyomon, Palmon, Tentomon, Gomamon, Patamon, Gatomon, Hawkmon, and Armadillomon. The digidestined all ran to their partners and had tearful reunions. They couldn't stop crying. It had been centuries since they had seen their digimon. The tamers stood by watching as each digidestined was reunited with his or her partner.
Soon, a small red dinosaur came running over.
"Takatomon!!!" It cried.
"Guilmon!" Takato said running towards him. "I missed you boy." Takato said tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Did you bring bread?" Takato laughed. "No, but I will next time."
"Ok. Guess what. The others are here too. Guardromon, although he digivolved into Andromon, Leomon, Marineangemon, and Lopmon. They're all here!"
"Great, go get them." Takato said. Guilmon ran off and soon came back with the others.
"Leomon!" Jeri said, bawling and running to her partner. She hugged Leomon, who picked her up and put her on his shoulder.
"Marineangemon!" Kenta cried.
"Andromon!" Kazu yelled. Both boys ran to their partners.
"Where's Suzi?" Lopmon asked.
"She couldn't come." Henry said.
"But it's good to see ya, you chocolate bunny." Terriermon said.
"Tact, Terriermon, Tact!" Henry said.
"Momen tai!"
After everyone was reunited, Leomon put Jeri back on the ground and walked to the digidestined. He bowed.
"It is good to see all of you again." Leomon said. Mimi burst into tears and ran straight to Leomon.
"You came back to life! I knew you would." She said crying into his fur. All the digidestined said hello to their old friend. Then Andromon walked over.
"Hello, digidestined." He said.
"Andromon!" Tai cried. After the friends had been reunited with the digidestined, they returned to their partners.
Everyone had been reunited with his or her Digimon. Everyone except Missy. Although Suzi, Mako, and Ai weren't here, they didn't count in this situation. Missy took out her digivice and held it to the sky.
"Aerialcaninomon! Where are you?" She cried. Soon a large black dog flew down to the ground. Everyone gasped. She was huge!
"Missy," She said smiling and leaning down to the tamer, rubbing her head against her.
"I missed you." Missy said crying. Aerialcaninomon dedigivolved to her rookie form. It was a small white dog with black, pink, and purple markings.
"I didn't think you'd come back." It said.
"Why wouldn't I, Puppymon?" Missy asked. She hugged the dog and cried into her fur.
Everybody sat around and talked for hours explaining what had happened over the time in which they were separated from their partners. After they had been there for a long time, the humans had to leave. They walked to the nearest computer and waved goodbye as they transported back.
*****
Everyone landed in a heap in front of the computer.
"I had forgotten about this part." TK said laughing.
"Tai, would you get your butt out of my face!" Izzy cried. Slowly they picked themselves up and went home. Ryo offered to walk Rika home and no one seemed to object.
"It was great seeing the Digimon again." He said, starting a conversation.
"Yeah, they really are spectacular. It's like we never left them."
"Were you expecting them to forget us?" Ryo asked.
"I don't know. But it was nice. Especially the looks on the faces of the adults. It just gave you that warm feeling." Rika said, smiling and remembering what it had been like.
"Yeah, I'm sure they loved every second of it. After all, it's been quite a long time since they last saw them."
"Yeah, but I'm sure it was hard to say goodbye." Rika said.
"They can always go back. We all can. Now that the gate made the initial opening, we can go through whenever we want." Ryo said as he opened the gate to Rika's yard, holding it open for her. Rika smiled.
"To think, after the d-reaper, I thought all things digimon related would be over. Now it's starting all over again. I like it."
"Yeah. Well, goodnight Rika, I'll see you in school tomorrow." Ryo said.
"Yeah, good night." Rika said. But as she opened the door, Ryo leaned in and kissed her lightly on the lips.
"I really do like you." He whispered before turning and heading towards the road. Rika smiled as he walked away and went into the house.
*****
As Rika walked into her room, her mother stopped her.
"You're home late. Where were you? And who was that boy?" Her mother asked.
"I was in the digital world. Yamaki found a way to get there so we all went to see our partners then compare notes in the park. That was Ryo. I'm going to bed." Rika responded.
"But why did he kiss you?" Rumiko asked. "That's what I want to know." She called as Rika walked into her room.
*****
Rika put her d-arc and modify cards next to her bed where they always were along with the picture of all the tamers and their partners. Rika took off her clothes and tossed them into the hamper. She pulled on her lilac pajamas, which were a pair of shorts with a tanktop. She had a picture of Sakuyamon transferred onto the top. It was the only reason she favored these pajamas. Rika reached behind her pillow and pulled out a scrapbook. It was full of tons of pictures of the tamers and their digimon. Rika turned to one page where there was a picture of Rika and Ryo. Rika was glaring at him because he had his arms around her and was smirking. Rika laughed remembering where, when, and why each picture was taken. The scrapbook was her prized possession and she loved it.
Rika lay in bed thinking about so many things that it made her restless. So she pulled out her cards and sorted them, creating a few combinations before finally getting tired. Rika put her cards away and fell into a deep slumber, dreaming about all of her friends.
*****
Rika awoke to the beeping of her alarm clock the next morning. She felt well rested and skipped on her way to the shower. She came out about ten minutes later, wrapping her hair up in a towel as she walked back to her room. She was going to wear her usual outfit, the jeans with the t-shirt of the heart on it but decided not to. Instead, she pulled out a pair of khaki capris and a seep purple tank top. She still wore her hair in the usual ponytail, but she liked it. She pulled on her sneakers, grabbed her backpack and headed into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Rika poured a bowl of cereal and when she finished eating, she was putting her bowl in the sink when the doorbell rang. Rika hurried and opened the door. Kazu was standing there with his backpack slung over one shoulder.
"Good morning your majesty. Ready to go to school?" He said grinning. Rika laughed and lightly hit him over the head.
"Yeah, I'll be right out." Rika went back inside and grabbed her backpack. She came out and she and Kazu walked down to street.
"So, what did you and Ryo talk about last night?" Kazu asked.
"The usual, digimon and stuff." Rika replied. "Why?"
"Just wondering. Unless I missed something in school 'caz it seemed really strange of him to just offer to walk you home like that. Actually, it isn't strange. But then again, you two have been tight since Friday." He said.
"Yeah, I guess so. He's nice and good to talk to. I'll give Mr. Ego that." Rika said laughing.
"So really, how is Miss "crazier than a soup sandwich" today?" Kazu asked. Rika laughed.
"I'm good. And how's Mr. "I can loose half of my blood and live to tell about it" doing?"
"Just as good." Kazu said while laughing.
"I want to go back. I don't know when, and I don't know if we'll be allowed to but I'm going back." Rika said.
"I'm down with that." Kazu replied. "Now come on, we have class to attend."
