A/N: sorry i cut off the last chapter right in the middle of a
paragraph. Didnt mean to do that.

The couple continued their tickling game until Sora said, "O my gosh! Look how dark it got, and so fast too!"
The sky itself was pitch black but the clouds had completely gone now, so it seemed that every star in the heavens shone as if they never shone before. The moon was full, casting its light on the faces of the two lovers and the surrounding flowers.
Matt: "You can't really say 'dark', can ya?"
Sora: "You know what I mean!" Matt was lying flat on the ground, with Sora pressed against his stomach. "I'm tired." she said softly. She rolled off of him, and onto her back. Matt put his arm under her neck, and held her close.
Matt: "Why don't we just sleep out here?" Sora turned to him and raised an eyebrow. "No, no, no! I know what you're thinking, and it wasn't what I was thinking! i was thinking we'll stay here for now, because chances are everyone else is asleep back where we left them. I don't want to wake them all up walking through those bushes again."
Sora: "I guess they were pretty noisy. Okay, we'll sleep here." She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and curled up against him. Soon, she fell asleep. Matt yawned, then looked upat the night sky.
Matt: ~I've never seen the stars so bright before. Even in the Digiworld. Maybe I just never noticed. They sure are pretty.~ He sighed contentedly, then felt Sora shift in her sleep. He looked at her when she did this and turned onto his side to face her. He brought his free hand up to head and stroked her hair. ~Your hair is so pretty, the way the moon shines in it like that. I'm surprised this blasted grass hasn't blocked out all the light! You're my little piece of heaven, you know that?~ "My little piece of heaven," he whispered, as he kissed her on the cheek.
********
It was Izzy's turn to keep watch now. He almost got up from his spot to search for Matt and Sora, but thought better of it. He was sure they were off somewhere doing things as a couple. At this thought, he sighed. ~I wish I had someone to spend time with like that, but I know that won't ever happen. Look at me. I spend so much time on my computer, nobody knows I even have a life.~ He tensed up, fighting the urge to cry. ~Why? Why can't I just be normal! Why can't i just be like everyone else! I hate my life!~ He could no longer hold it in. Tears began rolling down his flushed cheeks as he sobbed, quietly. He didn't hear Tentomon stir beside him. He was startled when he felt something pointy tap him, but relaxed slightly when he realized it was only his friend.
Tentomon: "What's wrong, Izzy?"
Izzy: "I don't want to talk about it. I don't think you would understand, even if I could tell you."
Tentomon: "Why can't you tell me? Aren't I your friend? I can't help you if i don't know what's wrong." Izzy looked around at the others to make sure that they were still sleeping. First (and nearest to him) he saw Tai, who was using Agumon as a pillow. Next, he saw Joe and Mimi sleeping in each others arms. Her hat lay on the ground inches away from her head. Kari slept on the other side of them. Finally, his gaze rested on Arrow. She was facing away from him, so he couldn't see her face or anything. He looked at her slightly longer than he had the others. Tentomon noticed this as Izzy looked back at him. "Does your problem involve her?"
Izzy: ~Should I tell him the truth?~ He hesitated a moment. "Yes. Yes, it does." ~How am I going to say this?~ "I have a crush on her, but I know she doesn't like me back."
Tentomon: "How do you know?"
Izzy: "I just do. She wouldn't go for somebody like me. I'm too... nerdy."
Tentomon: "You are not, and don't even say that!
Izzy: "Besides, she never talks to me unless I ask her something. She's out of my league."
Tentomon: "Have you tried talking to her? As a friend, instead of a computer genius?" Izzy looked down at the ground and listened to the crickets chirping. He HAD thought of that before, but he was just too shy.
Izzy: "No."
Tentomon: "Try it."
Izzy: "I can't..." he trailed off.
Tentomon: "You're shy, aren't you?" The kid blushed, then looked up at his friend.
Izzy: "Yeah. I wouldn't know what to say. Other than computer stuff, that is."
Tentomon: "Just say 'hi'. After that, you could give her a flower or something."
Izzy: "Thanks, Tentomon. Help me wake up Joe, would ya? It's his turn to keep watch."

TK: "Garudamon?"
Garudamon: "Yes?" he replied as he tucked the boy into bed.
TK: "Today was fun! Can we play tomorrow too?"
Garudamon: "Sure, What do you want to do?" He sat down on the bed next to TK. The boy no longer wore the silver robes he had earlier that day, but now wore red flannel pajamas. The sheets were of white linen, and the blankets were red with silver borders.
TK: "Ummm...can we play soccer? Soccer's fun!" he said enthusiastically. "Matt never played soccer with me." His expression changed from excited to sad.
Garudamon: "You bet, kiddo." he got off the bed and walked across the room to the door. He had just turned off the lights and was about to leave when TK stopped him.
TK: "Garudamon, what's this staff for?"
Garudamon turned around and took a few steps towards the bed. "Did your mom ever tell you the story about Cinderella?"
TK: "Yeah, a long time ago."
Garudamon: "Do you remember the part where the evil sorceress said 'mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all' and then she could see a picture of Cinderella?"
TK: "No..."
Garudamon: "You don't?"
TK: "It wasn't Cinderella. It was Snow White, silly!"
Garudamon: "You're right. You'll have to forgive me, I'm a little rusty on fairy tales. It's been so long since I told one--"
TK: "I could help you remember! I can tell you all the ones my mom told me!"
Garudamon: "You're such a good little boy. Anyways, the staff can let you see what's going on in any place you want to know about. You can also watch other people too."
TK: "Really?"
Garudamon: "Yep. That's not all it can do. It can also show you what will happen in the future. Only a few days into the future, though."
TK: "Why can't you see later than that?"
Garudamon: "You can't see that far into the future because that part of it isn't definite. It hasn't been written yet. What we do today affects all kinds of stuff in the future. Even what we eat for breakfast."
TK: "Oh." There was a long pause, as the two thought in the dark.
Garudamon: "Is that all?"
TK: "Can I see Matt and Kari and all my friends with it?"
Garudamon hesitated, and shifted from one foot to the other uncomfortably. "I guess...alright." TK jumped out of bed, ran to Garudamon, and hugged him. "Grab the staff and follow me." He led TK to a small room down the hall from the boy's bedroom. It had a large pool of still, grey-blue water. "Let me see the staff, okay? Thanks." He took it and turned it upside down so that the top of it was in the water. "Let us see the friends of TK," he told the water. The pool began swirling, and turned a muddy brown color. The swirling slowed until it was still again, then Joe, Izzy, Arrow, Mimi, Kari, Tai, and all the digimon could be seen in it. Joe was sitting next to Mimi keeping watch, Izzy was settling back to sleep, and everyone else was sleeping.
TK: "Where's Sora and my brother?"
Garudamon: ~This is odd. Where are the other two?~ "I don't know."
TK: "You don't think something happened to them, do you? Something bad? I hope they're okay!"
Garudamon: (to TK) "It's ok. Don't cry, I'll try to find them. (to the water) Show me Sora and Matt." The water swirled again, and this time showed Matt and Sora sleeping in the meadow.
TK: "Are Matt and Sora in love?"
Garudamon: "I think so...hmmm.... You need to go to bed, Kiddo. It's pretty late."
TK: "Okay."

Joe looked out at his surroundings. There wasn't much to look at, but it was all he could entertain himself with at the moment. ~I can't believe I get to do this for two more hours.~ He heard a rustling noise he hadn't heard earlier, and looked around to see where it was coming from. ~Oh, it's just Tai. He sure is rolling around a lot. He must be having a bad dream.~
::cue dramatic music:: Stay tuned to find out what Tai was dreaming!
