It had been three months since Izzy left, and no one had heard anything. School had started, once again, and being a senior at the high school was not Akira's idea of relaxing. Akira was, of course, depressed about it all. Her grades were slowly dropping, and she couldn't stay awake in class, because she couldn't get to sleep at night; it was horrible. Everyone was terribly worried about her, and Izzy, for that matter. But it was hard to comfort someone who just lost her boyfriend, the very night you finally get together. So Akira was left alone in her room, with her unfinished schoolwork and poorly written reports. School was definitely not going well. Rick, who was a year older than Akira, and the older Digidestined would be in college either that year or the next, and of course, Joe was already in his second year. Only Akira, Cody, Kari, TK, Yuuki, Mimi, and Shouri were still in school. Izzy had been able to skip 5th grade, and had also been taking classes at the college for years now, and was already finished. He was spending his time at his new job, or so it seemed. BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! Akira had received an email. She opened it excitedly. The message was very short. All it said was "Guess who."
Her heart leapt in her chest. Could it be? Was it... Izzy? She HAD to find out. She wrote back to the unknown person. "Izzy?" it said. She got an email back almost immediately. "Oh, sorry... didn't mean to get your hopes up. It's just me, Sora. Hey, do you wanna talk?" Akira sighed, disappointed. "Oh, hi Sora. I guess we can talk. But I'd rather do it over the phone, or even face-to-face. How about it?"
"Fine with me. I'll be over in a minute." Sora closed her computer. Suddenly, the phone rang. She picked it up. "Hello? Sora Takeout speaking."
"Hi Sora." Said a familiar voice. "It's Izzy."


AI: Well, how do you like it? I know, I know, it's short. I thought this was suspenseful enough that it'd drive you all insane, if you aren't already... *glances at her animated counterpart* Why Izzy, anyway?

Akira: Well, you're the one writing it! Knowing your twisted mind, I'm surprised you didn't turn it into one of those "best friends turn into lovers" things!

Fernamon: Don't give her ideas...

Akira: Sorry, I forgot who I'm talking to for a minute there.

Rick: Yeah, PLEASE don't give her any ideas!

Shouri: As WE are the "best friends!"

AI, thinking: Hmmmm... Not a bad idea...

Izzy: WHY ME?! WHY?! I'M CURSED! SHE'S MEAN TO ME IN EVERY STORY!!! FIRST, I _blah_blah_blah_ *READ THE STORY IF YOU WANT TO FIND OUT* IN "NEW FRIENDS," THEN SHE TAKES MY _BLANK_ IN THAT REALLY STUPID STORY WITH THE CRAPPY TITLE, THE ONE SHE CALLS "HUMOROUS," AND NOW THIS! I CAN'T STAND IT!

POOF! Izzy disappears

Rick: C-ya!

Shouri: Wouldn't wanna be ya...!

Akira: I can't believe I actually kissed that guy! Yuck!

AI: Live with it.

Izzy, his voice echoing because he's in the recycling bin at the moment: I'M NOT THE BAD GUY! I'M THE GOOD GUY! YOU KNOW, THE GENIUS!!!! THE ONE WHO FIGURES EVERYTHING OUT AND SAVES YOUR WORTHLESS NECK MOST OF THE TIME!!! I DON'T JUST RUN OFF ON PEOPLE! AND WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO LIKE ME?! SHE KISSED ME! WHY?!

AI: 'Cause I'm "twisted and wrong," that's why. That's a funny commercial.

Fernamon: Don't change the subject.

AI: I can do what I want. I'm the AUTHOR! Know what?

Rick: *sigh* What?

AI: *mimics Phantomon on episode 36, "Flower Power"* Oh, it's just a bird...

Shouri: Oh no, not this again...

AI: A LARGE bird, I grant you...

Rick: Please no...

AI: A large, ANGRY bird... AH!!!!!!!!!! *screams at the top of her lungs*

Izzy: Hey, not so loud! Everything echoes in here!!!!

Akira: Try standing next to her when she does that...

AI: Ok, I'm done. Please, R/R!
