"Hey, he looks exactly like you, little bro."
"I know, Yamato. It's scary." To TK's ears, the second voice sounded eeriely familiar. Slowly he opened his eyes.
A/N: For the record, I'm using the Japanese names for the AU "Digidestined" (there's a reason that's in quotes) so that there is less confusion (I hope).
TK found himself looking at two pairs of blue eyes exactly like his own...and one pair could only be his eyes. He screamed. Then something occured to him. "Patamon!"
"Patamon?"
"Is he speaking some odd language?"
"Where are you, Patamon," TK called again.
"Nope. That at least made a little sense."
The face that didn't look like his leaned closer and TK recognized it too. "Matt!"
The owner of the face laughed. "Matt? Nobody calls me Matt. My name's Yamato."
TK was confused. Who was this strangeer that looked exactly like Matt yet wasn't Matt. "Where am I," he asked.
"The Ishida's. By the way, this is Takeru, my little brother." At this point, the irony of this hit TK, who started to laugh. The brothers looked at him, confused.
Takeru sighed. "I'll go tell Mom he's awake." He left. When he was gone, TK sat up. Yamato just watched him silently. TK was thinking now, trying to figure out exactly what was going on. The differences between this family and his own were apparent, but yet the two brothers were definitely so much like himself and Matt. Puzzled, TK sat back against the pillow. What kind of place had he blundered into? Was this some version of Malomyotismon's illusion made real? TK wasn't sure.
"Where's Izzy when you need him to explain things," TK asked himself.

In the Digiworld, Patamon perched in a tree, worried about TK. "He's usually here at this time." Accustomed to regular visits from his partner, TK's absence disturbed Patamon. In addition, an uneasy feeling crept into Patamon's mind. "Something's wrong. I know it."
