Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, and I won't be profitting from writing this... if you did sue
me, you'd walk away with less than you came with from paying your lawyers.

Note: Okay... this is a sequel to "And So It Began..." because... because I wanted to write
one, okay?

Note from ~aerogirl~'s friend: She's insane, so don't mind her... just read her sucky fic and
review.

Note from ~aerogirl~: Don't say my fic is sucky! Only I get to say my fic is sucky. Okay, just,
nevermind, this is probably annoying my readers.

~aerogirl~'s friend: Ooh, God forbid.

~aerogirl~: Shut up. Okay, onto the fic.

Matt once again looked at Tai as he leaned against the building. Tai, perched in the tree, had
slipped away from the camp activities, as did everyone else in this area, apparently.

He sighed, closing his eyes. //I don't get it... I don't even know him.// He looked to TK who
was next to him. //and what would I tell TK? "Hey, I know you'll hate me, I know I'm eleven, but
I'm in love with some guy from camp that I don't even really know"?!"// He opened his eyes and
shook his head, knowing he couldn't go without figuring this thing out and telling Tai,
especially after the counselor mentioned him needing to talk to Tai about it. //I HAVE to... I
just can't...// he paused in his thoughts as something cold landed lightly on his arm. //Was
that a... snowflake? It's July! And the hottest part of Japan!!// but, surely enough, snow WAS
falling fron the sky, and, within moments, had become quite a blizzard. Matt headed for the
nearest cabin as he saw the other kids doing so, too. //Great, not just kids... nature's being
an ass every time I think about doing it, too...//

He and TK reached the door of the cabin he had been leaning against, almost slamming the door shut,
but pausing as he saw several other figures only a few feet away.

Mimi, Sora, kid on the computer, kid with blue hair that was sneezing... he stuck his head out the
door to see where Tai was. He had just been able to get from his high perch on the tree, and ran
toward the cabin as well. As he got inside, Matt slammed the door shut. "You okay?" he looked
worriedly at the snow covered Tai.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Tai said, trying to get the snow out of his hair.

"Here." Matt smiled, seeing Tai was having trouble getting a clomp of snow out. He brushed it out,
restrainnig himself from running his hand through it after removing the frozen water.

"Thanks."

Matt nodded in response, then shivered, noticing how chilly the cabin was getting.

Tai looked at him, almost wincing as he realized how cold the poor guy most be in a sleeveless.
"Cold?"

"I'm fine."

A silence passed over the two, and it was only then that Tai noticed the whole cabin had grown
silent, a few people were looking out the windows.

"Well, at least the wind's blowing toward the back of the cabin." the boy most only knew as "the
computer kid" commented.

"Why?" Mimi asked.

"Because." the one most knew as "that paranoid teenager" began to explain for "the computer kid",
"if it were blowing TOWARD us it would block the door, and we'd get snowed in."

"Well that wouldn't be good." Sora noted.

"What gave you the idea?" Matt looked up at her, still rubbing his arms to keep warm.

Tai remained silent, as did TK, who continued clinging to his brother's leg.

//Poor kid's probably scared.// Tai looked up, shifting in the awkward silence. "Um... since we're
probably gonna be here a while, why don't we get to know each other? I'm Taichi Yagami."

"Hard-One Eight-Gods." 'computer kid' noted. "Interesting combination."

"Thanks... I think."

"My name's Koushiro Izumi."

"Wha?" Sora looked at him strangely.

"Just call me Izzy."

"Call me Tai." he looked to Sora. "This is my friend Sora Takenouchi." he looked over to Matt. "And
that's Yamato... um... I forgot his last name..."

"Ishida. Yamato Ishida." Matt responded. He looked to the boy clinging to his leg. "And this is my
little brother Takeru Takeishi. Most people call us Matt and TK, though."

"If you're brothers, how come you have different last names?" Joe wondered.

For a moment, pain swept over Matt's face. "Our parents are divorced. I live with dad and TK lives
with his mom."

Another awkward pause. "Oh, I'm sorry." Joe apologized, knowing that talking about family trouble
can hurt, although he hadn't had any big problems with him.

"No need." Matt looked up. "You didn't know... um... whatever your name is."

"Jyou Kido. Call me Joe."

"Right, you didn't know, Joe."

"And, since everyone else has been introduced, my name's Mimi Tachikawa." Mimi volunteered, mainly
to lift the mood once again with her cheery voice.

Too Matt, her voice was just high-pitched and annoying.

Everyone said hey in unison as if to everyone, and, when it died down, Tai lifted his eyebrows.
"Hey, you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Matt inquired.

"Exactly! Nothing!" Tai slowly opened the cabin door, peeking his head out and smiling as his
suspicions turned out to be true. He walked out, followed by the others.

~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~

//Well... we made it through our first day here...// Matt thought, sitting up after his first
night in the Digital World. He looked over the others sleeping there. Sora, TK, Izzy, Joe, Mimi,
and Tai. //God... he looks like an angel when he's asleep!// he shook his head. //Matt, stop it.
You know you can't.// he'd finally told himself that. After his 8th attempt of trying to tell Tai
had failed, he had tried 5 times in DigiWorld, and all 8 attempts in all had failed, he had decided
that fate just didn't want him to, and wouldn't let him.

Feeling depressed, he stood up, beginning to walk toward the opposite shore of the lake, away from
the others.

"Matt?"

Matt turned around, seeing TK with his eyes half-open.

"Matt? Where you going?" TK asked, slowly sitting up. He yawned, rubbing his eyes.

"Just over there." Matt motioned. "You can come with if you want."

TK smiled, standing up and walking next to his brother. Matt smiled also, placing his hand on top
of TK's helmet. They walked, together, away from the group.

It was sunrise, when he started playing, and he and TK barely noticed an hour slowly passing, then
another, and another half of one.

And neither noticed a certain wild-haired boy looking longfully at the older blonde, perring out
from behind a nearby tree and smiling.

//Someday, Matt.//

Was that good? I dunno... I can't tell. All my stuff is hard for me to judge... but... I felt like
writing a sequel, and I might even write another after this...
