As Matt's Band started to play their first hit, screams went up in the
crowd. Lia was there with Izzy, Tai, Sora, Kari, and TK. She was so into
Matt and the concert, that she didn't mind the fact that Ken had refused to
come. He was somewhere with Daviswho was probably upset since Kari wasn't
with him,Yolei, and Cody. When he refused to come, it almost sparked a
fight. They all learned that Lia's temper was nothing to mess with over the
past three weeks. Lia was upset that her cousin wasn't going to support his
friend, and nearly fainted with shock when she learned that there were
others not going. In her mind the only one with a valid excuse was Joe, who
had a test. Meanwhile, there was a meeting that Izzy's parents were
attending. It was for the foreign student housing project. That school
year's students eligible were only about five for Odaiba. Most were girls.
The Izumi's were there to see if a specific young lady was on the list, and
she was. They were able to house her and they had a son that would be
attending the school with her. With the fact that they were able to provide
her with a caring environment out of the way, they left to get the
apartment ready for the young American girl.

"Congrats, Teresa!" came the cheers of her friends.
"Thanks guys! I can't wait. You guys are gonna see me again though. Oh, Ami don't cry!" Ami was wailing and was about to flood the room.
"I know, but you and Lia all before a month has even passed. I'm losing all my friends!"
"Now see here Ami Matthews! You are not even close to losing any of us. Lia wrote that she's hoping to visit to see YOUR birthday. Now, what does that tell you? Lia keeps in touch, wishes us good luck when we compete..." Rei fell silent as her own eyes began to get watery. Soon all of them were thinking of all the contests that they won with Lia, when suddenly, the phone rings.
"Hello," said Teresa into the receiver. "Lia! How are you? Oh my God your timing is so damn good. We were just talking about you"
"Of course you were, because I was thinking about you guys! Hey Te, put me on speaker, Kay?"
"Sure." Teresa pushed a button and hung up the phone. "Can you hear me?"
"Of course. Who else is there? Wait lemme guess, everyone including Willis, by web cam."
"Damn, you're getting good at that," said Willis.
"Will you all stop cussing at the woman, I mean she calls us and all you do is Damn her till she's in Hell. What's with you people?"
"Taylor, calm down. She's cool with it. Aren't ya, Li?" asked Bunnie.
"As always. Any way, here's what I called for. Happy B-Day, Bunnie! Congrats, on your latest win. Congrats Tay, for staying out of the hospital for more than your previous record of one week, make it a month and I'll send you a rock CD. Did you make it this year Teresa?" Lia, as well as everyone else, knew that Teresa had been trying for the Foreign Student program for almost three years. Lia on the other hand already knew the answer to the question, Izzy had been so kind as to inform her just before she called. Izzy had brought her a very pretty bouquet, which was really from Matt he informed her, and the news of his parents' choice for the program, not to mention the reason they joined. Lia was so happy and she was going to help decorate the room too.
"Actually...." Teresa sounded really depressed at first, " YES!!!!!!!!!! They accepted me!"
"Great what family are you with?" asked Lia, very close to telling her whom
it was any way.
" The Izumi's. They have-"
" A son who will be attending school with you while you are there. Right?"
"How in the hell did she get that? How did you-"
"Know that before you told me? You guys really wanna know? Well... I guess I should tell you. hang on.. Izzy! Hey come here a sec."
"Um, am I in trouble?" asked Izzy.
"You are not in trouble. Hang on guys." Lia put them on speaker. "Guys, are you still there?"
"Yes, but why are we on speaker?" asked Bunnie.
"Guys, This is Izzy Izumi, a very good friend of mine and the son of the Izumi family Teresa will be staying with."
"Hello. It's nice to talk to you after all the great things Lia has said about you." Izzy said politely.
"Holy Shit Lia! Do you know all of Odaiba this quickly? If so, than DAMN!" said Taylor.
"That would be Taylor, sorry for indecent choice of foul language that he chose to express himself with. My name is Rei Jones," said Rei, as suddenly giggles erupted on the other end of the phone. Lia and Izzy looked at each other and grabbed the phone and headed towards Ken's room.
"Hey Ken! Let us in so I can see something on the web."
"Sure, Lia. Come on in," came Ken's response.
"Thanx." Lia logged on as Izzy was trying to find out was going on from the people on the other end of the phone, which wasn't working.
"Hey you guys, in Cali! We have a request for a vid chat with chibi_horned_angel_13!" said Willis.
"Huh?!?!?!?" said everybody else except for Izzy. Then, Lia, Izzy, and Ken erupted into gales of laughter.
"You giggles didn't laughs invite snickers me to the giggles to the party? How rude!" Lia said and then started laughing again. While some red- faced girls stood up quickly and tried to act as if nothing had happened. "Oh man, that recording is good for some blackmail. giggles hysterically"
"Lia, you wouldn't do that to us we're like family!" Trista looked in horror at the computer screen.
"You guys got really gullible while I've been gone."
"Leave them alone, Lia. You're being too hard on them." To Lia's friends it was a new voice. "I didn't let you use my computer to put you're friends down." The owner of the voice came into view, it was Ken. Teresa looked on and blushed furiously.
"Um, Teresa," came Lia's voice. "You are blushing very badly."
"Huh? Oh.. Um.. I'll be right back." This made everybody laugh but Ken and
Izzy, who looked very confused.
"Hey Li. have been keeping up with us?" asked Ami.
"Vocally? Kinda, I guess. Why?" she replied.
"We haven't heard you sing in FOREVER. Come on Lia, please!!!" they all pleaded.
"Um.. Please stop.. Not now guys.." Lia pleaded them red with embarrassment, as Ken and Izzy looked at her with smiles and curiosity.
"Hey Lia, what do they mean vocally?" asked Izzy.
"You didn't know that Lia used to sing in competitions all over the US?" asked Ken. Lia finally talked them into letting her off the hook. this time.
************************************************************
"Hey Danae!" Danae turned around and looked for the girl that called her.
"Oh, Katey, it's you. Good morning."
"Good Morning Miss. Danae. You don't look so good. Did you sleep ok last night? You look very tired. Is something troubling you?"
"I'm fine Katey, thank you. Please don't call me Miss Danae. I'm only two years older than you, the Miss isn't really necessary."
"Sorry, Danae. Are you sure you're all right? You look pretty bad."
"I assure you, Katey, I feel fi-... Uhhnh..." Danae suddenly started to collapse.
"Danae! Danae, are you ok? Danae, answer me! Danae!" Katey was starting to panic. There was no one else staying on their side of the building, and by the time she reached someone Danae could be in a critical state. Suddenly Danae was groaning and she began to stir. "Danae, can you hear me? Are you ok?" Danae's eyes slowly opened to see Katey surrounded by the aura of a DigiDestined. She blinked a couple of times, trying to check her sight. After a few blinks, she realized that either Katey was a DigiDestined or her eyes were messed up from her faint. She went with choice number one. Danae sat up and rubbed her head and shook it yes. "Are you sure? Do you want me to help you to your room or anything?"
"Yes, please. If it's no trouble to you."
"It's no trouble, Danae." Danae smiled, Katey was in the school on scholarship and people thought she was poor, but if you got closer you would find that she was on an academic scholarship and could afford to stay if she ever lost it. 'Wow. She always seems so strong I wonder if she's hurt.'
"Danae, is there something wrong? You can tell me. I swear I won't tell anyone. You seem so weak suddenly, I'm just really worried about you."
"There is something sorta wrong, but... Well, how about tea in my room at eleven and I'll see if I can explain it then, after I get some sleep. Does that sound good?"
"Yes, it sounds fine. Here let me get the door." Katey opened the door and helped Danae to the bed. " Just call my room if you need anything, okay?" Danae nodded. She could see PicoZeemon in the shadows looking at her, very worried.
"Don't worry, Katey. I'll keep in touch if I need anything."
"Alright. I'll see you at tea." Katey left and shut the door.
"Come on out Zee." The Digimon was out in a flash looking at her with big eyes.
"What happened Danae? Are you ok?"
"Well, first I collapsed while talking to Katey and fainted. Then, this one is my main concern, I saw the aura of a DigiDestined around her. Zee, Katey is one of the missing crest holders in that legend you told me."
"Ok, but what about tea?"
"I am going to see if I can awaken her with the Digimon files I have. I want her to be able to come with us to Japan. We're going there first. I have a feeling that it'll be the location of the first awakenings."
"Then we'll just have to get ready fo-" Suddenly a scream came from the direction of Katey's room.
"Come on Zee! Katey might be in trouble!" The two ran out of the room towards Katey's room, but when they got there.... "No!!!!!!!! Katey!!"
