This story takes place three years after, Who's Time.

Unlucky Pasts

I can still remember the night that Kari and Yolei went into labor. I got a call from Tai saying that Kari was going into labor and T.K. was scared out of his pants. It was because Kari was going three weeks premature, which is actually normal in some pregnancies. Yolei, who lives with Izzy in Tokyo, had gone into labor because she was ready. Since the time that Mimi went into premature labor because she and Sora had' to have their babies on the same day, we all knew that the same thing would happen with Yolei and Kari. So as it turned out, Kari went into premature labor. She was very lucky that her and Yolei's pregnancy's weren't that far apart or she would have felt the same pain that Mimi did. Mimi, Eve, and I went to the hospital and waited for six hours until Kari gave birth to a baby girl, who T.K. and her named, Alexiyi. They call her Lexie for short. Yolei gave birth to a boy, who Izzy and her named, Raysuki. They call him Ray for short.

I smile at Eve, who is falling asleep in my arms while she watches her children shows. It is almost three o'clock on a Friday and I always get this time off of work every week.

Eve and I normally go for a walk to the park, play there for a while, and then come home to watch her afternoon cartoons. I always cherish our Friday afternoons because this is the only time we get to spend time together like this. The other days of the week I am at work until five o'clock, and same with Mimi. Eve goes to day-care, but next year, when she turns four, she will go to preschool.

Daddy, change channel, Eve whispers in her childish voice as she tries to keep her eyes open.

I flip to the channel where her last cartoon of the day is on before Mimi comes home from work. Mimi is actually getting off of work two hours early today so we can go to her parents cabin.

She should be home soon. She probably just got off.

Eve yawns one last time before she shuts her eyes momentarily. This time, she doesn't open them and begins to breathe softly.
I carefully lean back on the couch, turn off the television, and let her lay on my chest. I close my eyes and begin to fall asleep.

***

Wake up, sleep heads, Mimi says with a giggle as she shakes me.
I open my eyes and smile at Mimi.

Eve exclaims as she stands up on my chest and allows Mimi to pick her up.

So, how was your day? Mimi asks as she holds Eve.

Daddy and me go to park, Eve replies as she is set down.

Of course you did, Mimi says as she picks up her briefcase and sets it on the couch.

What do you have in there? I ask as Mimi rummages through her briefcase.

I got an e-mail from Izzy and Yolei today. I printed it off so I can share it with you, Mimi explains as she pulls out a piece of paper.

Eve questions as she peers over the paper. Oh yeah, computer man.

Mimi and I look at each other and laugh at Eve's comment.

He says: dear Mimi, Matt, and Eve. How are you? We are fine and are actually on our way to Odaiba right now for a vacation. I hope we can visit you and the others. Love Izzy.

Did you e-mail him back? I ask.

Yes and I told him to come to my parents cabin with us. Then I went and phoned Sora and Joe to invite them as well.

Did you ask T.K. and Kari? I ask.

Oh right, yeah I called them too. We all are going to meet there tomorrow morning, and we will still go there tonight, Mimi replies as she tucks the letter back into her briefcase.

I follow Mimi into the kitchen, holding Eve, and set Eve into her high-chair. I watch as Mimi begins to get some pots and pans out.



She stops what she is doing and turns around.

Why don't we just go in the morning too? I ask.

Sound good. I'm too exhausted anyway to get everything ready, Mimi replies as she begins to put the pots and pans away.

Phone Adam, Eve mumbles as she picks up the phone that sits beside her on the counter. She begins to push any numbers.

Not right now, Eve, Mimi says as she takes the phone away from Eve and hangs it up.

Eve gets a pouting look on her face and crosses her arms.

You know, Eve is going to turn out just like you. Even if we don't spoil her, somehow, she'll turn out like you, I mention as I take out a pot and fill water in it for supper.

Mimi turns around with a smirk on her face and says, She's only three and is already as rebellious as you were.

I set the pot on the stove and turn the boiler on.

Eve asks.

Mimi and I both turn around to see Eve trying to phone Adam still. The only problem is, she doesn't know his phone number or even how to dial phone as it is. She may have pressed three buttons or ten.

Sweetie, isn't there a cartoon on or something? Mimi asks as she again takes the phone away from Eve and hangs it up.

Eve crosses her arms and turns her head away.

Mimi and I both stare at each other.

***

Is she asleep? I ask as Mimi walks into the room.

I think so. You would think that she would be tired from you taking her to the park, but she wasn't.

I would think she would be tired from how long she ended up talking to Adam, I say as Mimi sits beside me and takes the remote from my hand.
Eve ended up getting her way after several times of Mimi taking the phone away. Actually, it was when Mimi was in the bathroom that I dialed Tai's number and asked him to put Adam on the phone for Eve. He agreed saying that Adam also wanted to talk to Eve. When Mimi came out, she wasn't too impressed that Eve got her way and was having a baby conversation with Adam. It is a wonder how they communicate properly with the way they talk, but somehow, they do.

You say she is going to turn out like me, but if you let her get her way, that will happen, Mimi says in an annoyed voice, but joking.

I know, but how can you not want to obey her? I ask, shrugging my shoulders.

Mimi laughs as she shakes her head.

Maybe since I have been with you so long that I treat Eve the same way.

So now you think I am spoiled? Mimi asks as she crosses her arms.

Yes..... I mean no! I mean yes...... no! I-

Shut up, Matt, Mimi says as she cuts me off and kisses me.

I kiss her back and wrap my arms around her waist.

Mimi pulls back and says, I rented us a movie to watch.

Why would you rent a movie if we were planning to go to your cabin? I ask as Mimi stands up.

Mimi turns around with a sly look on her face and answers with a wink, Because I wasn't actually planning to go tonight. When I got home earlier, I was hoping you would ask to go tomorrow instead. And you did, so you scored major points with me tonight.

I raise my eyebrow as Mimi left to the kitchen to get the movie. She comes back a few minutes later with it and two cans of pop. Mimi pops the movie in and presses play. She sits next to me and leans her head against my chest as I automatically put my arm around her shoulders.

***

Don't you love that movie? Mimi asks in a whisper as she wipes a tear out of her eye.

I can't believe you rented Titanic. That movie was only made a few years ago and already how many times have we watched it?

Mimi replies as she takes the remote of the coffee table and stops it to rewind it.

Should we go to bed? It is one o'clock in the morning because this movie is so long and Eve didn't fall asleep right away.

Mimi says as she stands up and stretches.

Half way through her stretch, I wrap my arms around her thin body and hold her softly. She relaxes by putting down her arms and leaning her head against me. I finally let go and take her hand. On my way out of the living room, I turn off the light.



It isn't my fault that you are clumsy, I say quietly as we walk down the hallway in the dark.

As we approach Eve's room, which is just a few feet in front of our room at the end of the short hallway, a light appears through the crack at the bottom of her door.

Why is her light on? Mimi asks as she lets go of my hand and opens the door.

We aren't expecting this. A computer that wasn't there before, stands before the end of Eve's bed. She sits and watches the screen closely as it brightens each second. Mimi and I stand there, holding our breath.
Suddenly, the light intensifies sending a blinding flash. I cover my eyes with my hand, but then put my arm back down because the light vanished.

Mimi turns on the light and the computer that was there a second ago, is gone. Replacing it, a red baby digimon sat on the end of the bed. It hops up and down with a digivice in its mouth. The digivice is the exact same model as ours, not a D-3. It hops over to Eve and sets the digivice in front of her.

Don't pick it up, Mimi whispers.

Eve picks it up, but doesn't vanish like we did when we were at summer camp the summer we became Digidestined.

I recognize that digimon, I state as I walk over to Eve, leaving Mimi behind. I say, This is Punimon. I saw him once when Gabumon De-digivolved to him just after he became Omnimon when Tai and I went into the internet to fight Deoborimon.

Eve smiles and cuddles Punimon. She closes her eyes like Punimon and they both begin to fall asleep.

I turn around and turn off the light, meanwhile, leading Mimi out of the room. We walk down the hallway and as we enter the kitchen, I turn on the light.

Mimi flops herself onto a chair and bangs her head on the table as she begins to sob. I walk over to her and begin to rub her back as she continues to sob.

She lifts her head up and stands up. She says loudly, This isn't fair! I never wanted her to become a Digidestined. Never, never!

I hug Mimi as she continues to shake her head.

The phone rang.

I let go of Mimi, and she sits back on the chair and sobs louder.

I ask into the phone.

Matt, I'm glad you are up. Adam just got a digivice and his digimon, Botamon. That is the same baby that Digivolves into Koramon.

Eve also got a digimon. She got a digimon named Punimon. Punimon Digivolves to Tsumonmon, but Tai, I was told by Izzy that baby digimon can Digivolve into different digimon. Like Punimon could end up Digivolving into a Floramon or something.

Mimi sobs louder as she realizes that Adam is also a new Digidestined.

Is that Mimi crying? Tai asks.

Yes, she is really upset, I answer. I take my mouth off of the receiver and say, Mimi calm down!

Mimi lifts her head up and wipes the tears out of her eyes. She looks down the hall and screams,

I turn my head to see a bright light shine through the hallway. I drop the phone and momentarily can hear Tai shouting my name. I run down the hallway behind Mimi and she turns on the light. What we see makes Mimi cry again. Eve and Punimon are both gone from sight, the bed is empty.

Mimi sobs as she falls into my arms.

Let's go over to T.K.'s house. He has to open the gate and let us into the Digital World, I suggest as I take Mimi's hand and pull her out of the room.

But Matt, we don't even have our digimon.

I pause; she's right. Our digimon came back one day when everyone was over, but didn't stay more than a month even though they said that they could stay forever. That is probably why Eve and Adam are both Digidestined in the first place, they saw the digimon and Eve even touched Gabumon. I remember Tentomon, Patamon, Gatomon, and Porimon stayed until a month after Lexie and Ray were born.

Matt, are you listening to me? Mimi asks as she takes her coat.

Yes, but I'm thinking, I reply as I take the keys to my car and lock the door behind us.

Matt, we forgot our digivices and crests, Mimi says as she stops.

I sigh in frustration as we turn around.

***

I pound on T.K.'s door loudly, not even considering that it will probably wake up two year old, Lexie.

T.K. opens the door and asks, What are you doing here?

You have to open the gate to the Digiworld now. Eve was taken there! Mimi cries out.

T.K. goes wide eyed and lets us in. Kari looks confused as we walk in to their apartment.

Eve has been taken to the Digital World. We have to go there now, T.K. informs her.

I stop and think for a second before asking, Has Lexie gotten a digivice?

No way. She hasn't made a peep all night, Kari replies. She suddenly put her face to horror and says, T.K., Lexie hardly ever stays asleep all night without coming to our room.

T.K. and her run out of the room and Mimi and I follow.

She's gone! Kari screams.

T.K. turns around, but doesn't look at me as he states, We have to go back now!



The four of us turn around as Tai and Sora come around the corner.

Adam is in the Digital World. We have to go get him, Tai says.

I'm guessing Eve is there too? Sora asks as she holds Tai's hand to keep him from going too crazy.

I nod and take a firmer grip on Mimi's hand.

Lexie is there too and Ray probably has also gone, Kari says.

Mimi and I both look at each other with horror on our faces.

I whisper, They were in the car. I hope they are okay.

How do you know that they were in the car? Sora asks.

Because they were driving here and Izzy told me he and Yolei would be taking turns to drive here all night, Mimi explains in a whisper.

I know his cell phone number, Tai says as he turns around and walks back into the living room. He dials the number and waits a few minutes.

Tai pulls his head away from the phone and winces. Calm down Yolei. Can I speak to Izzy?

Tai waits a few seconds.

I didn't know Izzy was planning to come to your cabin, Kari whispers.

It was a surprise for you guys, Mimi replies.

Izzy, is Ray in the Digital World?

Tai nods his head to tell us that Ray is. Tai hangs up the phone.

Should we phone Joe? Mimi asks.

Yes. Izzy says that he won't be in another town for over a half an hour. He also says to try to get as many people as we can to help, Tai answers.

I have my cell phone so I'll call Joe, I say as I take it out of my pocket.

We have two lines to use for when Kari is on the internet, T.K. says.

Okay, Matt, you call Joe. Kari can call Ken and Maria in Tokyo. On the other line, T.K. can call Davis. I will go downstairs to the pay phone and call Cody, Tai orders.

No point in calling Cody. I talked to him today to invite him to my cabin, but he is busy, Mimi says.

I'll call anyway, Tai says.

You guys! Sora exclaims, getting our attention. Slow down. I'm sure they are fine because they have their new partners with them.

For one thing, they can only Digivolve to Champion because they don't have crests. Secondly, they wouldn't be called unless if there was some sort of problem. They could be in danger as we speak! Tai responded to Sora as he took her arms and led her out of the apartment.

Kari goes into the kitchen while T.K. uses the phone in the living room to call Davis. I dial the phone number to Shila and Joe's apartment and wait three rings.

Joe asks sleepily into the phone.

Joe, it's Matt. To cut a long story short, Eve, Lexie, Adam, and Ray are in the Digital World. Come over to T.K's house to help look for them.

We'll be there in ten minutes, Joe concludes as he hangs up the phone.

Davis is out of town with his new girlfriend, Candichi. He won't be back for three days, T.K. informs.

I look at Mimi who bit her lips. She looks up and smiles.

We'll find her.

I know. Matt, I'm going to call Michael. I want him to round up as many Digidestined's to help, Mimi states as she gets up and walks over to the phone that T.K. just finished using.

When Mimi wasn't looking, I take a quick glance at the scar on my wrist that reminds me everyday that I almost killed myself. I hide my arm at my side and look up to find T.K. staring. I give him a weak smile that he returns.

Michael, it is Mimi. I need your help.

She is silent for a moment as she listens.

No, Matt and I didn't break up. Eve was taken to the Digital World and we need help finding her. Can you round up as many people as you know and help us look?

Mimi listens again and smiles as she hangs up the phone.

Is he going to call Wallace and everyone? T.K. asks.

Mimi nods and says, He will. He also wishes us luck.

I swallow and nod.

Sora and Tai open the door and come inside.

Tai says, You are right. Cody is out of town with Davis and his new girlfriend.

Kari also comes into the living room and says, Maria is really sick right now and is in the hospital so I didn't have the heart to ask Ken and her to help.

What about Joe? Tai asks.

Joe is coming and Michael is rounding up every Digidestined he knows in New York, Mimi says.

At the mention of Michael's name, an awkward silence follows.

A knock at the door ended the akwardness.

T.K. gets up and walks quickly to the door. He opens it and motions for Joe and Shila to come in.

I guess you will be going now, Shila says as we pull out our digivices.
Joe nods and gives her a quick kiss on the cheek.

Digi-port open! Kari shouts as she holds out her digivice and gets sucked into the computer.

T.K follows Kari and is followed by Tai and Sora. Mimi holds out her digivice next. I follow and also hold out my digivice.

The travel is always the same as we go through the strange digital process.

We're back, Joe states as he stands up.

He stretches out his hand and I let him help me up.

I have two digivice signals on my D-3, Kari says.

There is also another one not too far away from those two, Tai says as he holds his digivice up too.

Maybe Michael couldn't find anyone and had to come himself. The couple must be Izzy and Yolei, Mimi says.

Let's start going towards them. The three off them are almost together, Tai says as he takes Sora's hand and holds out his digivice to follow it.

I take Mimi's hand and begin to follow Tai and Sora.

***

The three of them are not too far away! T.K. exclaims.

Through the trees, three voices are heard.

Tai shouts as he begins to run.

Izzy, Wallace, and Michael emerge from the bushes.

Kari exclaims, We were not expecting you, but Yolei!

No, when Yolei came through, they sent her back, Izzy says sadly, then I walked by myself until I met up with Wallace and Michael.

We also had Phil with us, but he also got sent back, Michael explains.

It must be just us ten because we all have the powers. But then again, that doesn't make any sense though because we aren't allowed to use our powers anymore, Wallace says thoughtfully.

That isn't true. Mimi and I used Sincere Friendship when Eve was born because they were both dead, I respond as I look at Wallace.

Wow, you two must be really special, Wallace says.

I take a quick glance at Michael who gives me a cold stare. I quickly turn away and look at Mimi who is talking with Sora.

She takes her hand away from mine and walks over to Izzy. She says as she hugs him, I miss you so much.

I miss you too, Mimi, Izzy says as he hugs her back.

I smile as Mimi returns to me with a satisfied look on her face. She takes my hand and looks past me at Michael who is talking with Wallace.

Don't stare at him too long or he'll give you a mean glare like he did to me, I whisper quietly into Mimi's ear.

Mimi put a frown on her face and turns away to look at the bushes.

Why don't we stop for the night? Tai asks as he turns around.

No! We have to find Eve! Mimi screams as she bursts into tears.

She runs into my arms and continues to sob as I rub her back. I shrug at Tai.

Mimi, if we rest well tonight, it will be easier to look for her and the others. If we don't get some sleep, we won't be much use looking for them, Izzy says softly.

Mimi nods as she continues to sob quietly in my arms.

Mimi had always listened to Joe and Izzy because she knows they are right. Thanks God!

I'm so tired, Kari says.

Why don't we get some sleep here? Matt and I have become experts at building fires, Tai says as he begins to collect some twigs.

I carefully hand Mimi, who is still crying, to Joe. I also am beginning to collect wood.

We need a match, Tai says as he finishes making a small teepee of wood with bark underneath.

I have one, but can someone take Mimi so I can get them out of my pocket? Joe asks.

I walk over and take Mimi from Joe's arms. She finally lifts her head up and wipes the tears from her eyes.

Everything will be okay because I love you, I whisper to Mimi as I hold her.

Matt, everything isn't going to be okay just because you love me, Mimi whispers back as she leads me to a log that Tai placed for us in front of the fire.

The ten of us sit quietly and stare at the fire in front of us.

I never wanted Eve to become a Digidestined. Never, Mimi states.

Everyone looks at her, including me.

I curse whoever picked her to be one. She's only three years old. She can barely talk let alone save the world. Why would they become
Digidestined at such a young age. Why?

I don't know Mimi, but I wish I did know. Yolei must be going crazy that she can't come here. I don't even have my lap top, Izzy says.

Izzy, I'm shocked, Tai says in a mocking voice.

I can't help but smile at Tai's pathetic attempt to lift our spirits.

Would you two like to go on watch first? We all know how much you love to be the first ones to be on watch so that you can get a steady sleep, Tai says in another funny voice.

No. Do you think that someone else could take watch? Mimi and I haven't been to sleep yet and it is already two in the morning.

Tai says in yet, another funny voice.

Mimi rented Titanic for the ninth time and it wasn't over until one. Then Eve... I explained, but trailed off.

Michael and I agree to take a few hours, Wallace says.

Joe, you and I can finish up the night, I say, trying not to let Mimi or Izzy take any shifts.

Thanks Matt, Izzy says, I was driving the entire night.

No problem. Why don't you wake Joe and I up in two hours? That way we can at least each have two hours of sleep. Does everyone agree that we leave at six?

Everyone nods.

Try to get some sleep, I say to Mimi who lays next to me wide awake.

I can't. I keep thinking that she's in danger or something bad will happen. Matt, we can't lose our baby, Mimi whispers back on the verge of tears again.

We won't because she is strong like we are. Now please, go to sleep.
Mimi nods and snuggles up to me for warmth.

***

Matt, it is our turn, Joe whispers as he shakes me softly.

I nod and lift Mimi's arm off of me. I place it gently on the ground and slowly move away so she won't wake up. I stand up and follow Joe to where Wallace and Michael sit by the fire.

I wonder if we will get to use our powers again? Wallace asks.

I reply as I take a seat beside Wallace.

I still cannot believe that you and Mimi used it, Wallace says.

I still can't either, I admit.

I'm going to sleep now, Michael states as he gets up from sitting beside Joe and walks towards the others.

I decide to follow him to try and make amends.


He turns around and whispers, Go away Matt.

Look, I know you and I will never be friends, but I want to say I'm sorry for cheating with Mimi. I shouldn't have done that, but you have no idea what happened that night. Or should I say what would have happened if she didn't come, I say quickly.

Michael stares at me and says, You were going to kill yourself, weren't you?

I nod.

It looks as if Michael is going to to forgive me, but he instead clenches his fist and punches me. I fall back and hold me jaw.

That is for taking Mimi away so you could stop yourself from killing yourself, Michael says as he turns around and walks away.

Are you okay? Wallace asks as he and Joe help me up.

I'll be fine. Wallace, why don't you go to sleep?

Wallace says as he leaves Joe and I to head over to Michael.
A few minutes later, Joe and I are back at the fire, each sitting on a log. I put in another log to burn and sigh as I hold my jaw where Michael punched me.

Too bad I don't have any ice, Joe says.

Too bad.

Matt, what happened with you, Michael, and Mimi a few years ago to make Michael punch you?

I look up at Joe and ask, Do you really want to know?

Joe shrugs, but I can tell he wants to.

I was in New York on tour with my band. Nobody else knows this except for Tai, T.K., and Mimi. I don't know if Sora or Kari know, but I never told them. Joe, I tried to kill myself. I was really depressed and had been slitting my wrists. One night, I was in the park planning how I would kill myself when I saw two people struggling. I couldn't help but want to help this person who was being pushed to the ground. Once I helped, I realized it was Mimi. I left back to the hotel, but Mimi followed. Then we began an affair, I admit.

Joe nods and listens, but knows not to say anything.

I pull out my arm and put it by the fire. I point out as I say, See this scar? This is the scar that reminds me everyday about the mistakes I made during that three year period when Mimi and I weren't together. Not only does this remind me about my mistakes, but Mimi told me once that she knows that it was a mistake to leave me in the first place. She was living a lie when she was with Michael and he knows as well as I do that Mimi won't ever be with him again. I can just tell that even though they were together, he knew that Mimi was still in love with me.

See, happy ending for all of us. Well except for now, but that doesn't matter, Joe says.

***

We must be far away from them if their digivice signals aren't showing up on ours, Joe says as we continue to walk.

If only we could have our digimon, T.K. says with a frown.

Don't lose hope! Kari scolded.

T.K. rolls his eyes.

I'm going to wake Mimi up, I say as I leave T.K., Kari, and Joe who are the only other ones up besides me.

Mimi lays peacefully a few feet from where Sora and Tai lay next to each other. She looks so peaceful that I almost want to let her be. So, I decide that I will leave her to sleep.

Mimi doesn't want to get up? T.K. asks with a smile as I walk back to them.

No, I just can't wake her up right now.

T.K. nods and says, She's waking up anyway.

I turn around and walk to where Mimi is just stirring. She lifts up her head and smiles. I walk over to her.

Morning Mimi.

Morning Matt, Mimi says as she leans up to kiss me.

I kiss her briefly as she pushes my head back and tilts it side ways.

What happened? Your jaw is a bit bruised.

I answer as I turn my head back.

Michael did this, didn't he? Mimi asks angrily.

I reply, knowing that I cannot lie to her.

Mimi gets up and strides angrily over to where Michael and Wallace lay near each other. She approaches Michael.

Michael, how could you do this?

Michael jerks his head up and has a confused look on his face.

Mimi slaps him and screams, You never punch Matt again! Just because we had an affair doesn't give you the right to punch him! And you have the Crest of Loyalty. I should have never asked you to help search for Eve!

Mimi went to slap Michael again, but I pick her up and swing her over my shoulder.

I will never forgive you! Mimi screams as she tries to get out of my hold.

Mimi, calm down! We just had a fight, no big deal. Calm down! I shout as Mimi continues to scream and kick.

By now, Izzy, Tai, Sora, and Wallace are all up from the commotion.
Mimi stops screaming and falls limp in my arms. She begins to cry as I set her down.

Let's get going, Tai says as he begins to walk.

Yes, the sooner we start, the sooner we can find Eve, I agree, trying to get Mimi to calm down.

Mimi nods and takes my hand. She pulls me along so that we are walking next to Tai and Sora.

Are you okay? Sora asks hesitantly to both of us.

I'll be fine. I've been punched many times, but Mimi, would you please calm down? You've flipped your lid, I reply looking from Sora to Mimi.

Oh thanks, Mimi says sarcastically, trying to make herself feel better.

So, how are we supposed to find them if their signals don't show up? Tai asks.

Joe brought up a good point. He also said the same thing, T.K. says from behind us.

If only I had my lap top. I probably could search for them using it and I could contact Yolei. I wish I had my lap top, Izzy says as he sighs in disappointment.

Oh my gosh! Kari cries out.

I turn around to find Izzy holding his yellow lap top.

I guess you didn't use your wish from last time we were here, Sora says.

No, I did use it. This either means we get more wishes or I just happened to get my lap top from Gennai, Izzy says as he sits down to log onto his computer.

I wish that the ten of us could find Eve, Lexie, Adam, and Ray right now, Mimi wishes as she closes her eyes.

We suddenly find ourselves staring at the sleeping figures of Eve, Adam, Lexie, and Ray.

I call out as I run towards them.

Tai and the others aren't too far behind me as they call out their children's names.

Eve, wake u- I call, but as I run closer towards them, I get shot backwards, flying in the air.

Matt, are you okay? Mimi asks as she hovers over me.

That is the last thing I hear as I fall unconscious.

***

Thanks Sora, for staying with me.

Your welcome Mimi. You know I wouldn't want to leave you and Matt alone.

Hey guys. Where's Eve? I ask as I sit up.

Unfortunately, they are still sleeping. Izzy did something on his computer to show where the dome is around them. I guess there is some sort of protection orbing around them, Mimi replies as she sits beside me.

I glance over to see Sora smiling at me. I smile back and look towards where Eve and the others still sleep.

Where is everyone? I ask as I look around.

Gennai's house isn't too far away so they went to find it, Sora replies.

Do you think they are okay? I ask to nobody in particular.

They'll be fine, but you won't.

Mimi, Sora, and I stand up right away on our defense. The voice sound familiar, but I can tell that it is evil.

Who's there? Sora asks as she stands beside me.

You aren't going to be okay Sora! It is all your fault!

Sora tenses up and stands closer to me.

I'm behind you!

It doesn't really sound like he is behind us, but everywhere. We all turn around.

Sora screams and falls.

I exclaim as she falls in my arms.

Mimi screams as he stands in front of us now.

I hold Sora and sit down with her in my arms. I take one of my hands away to find blood covering it.

I cry out frantically as I hold onto her.

You die because you didn't stay a couple with Matt. You ruined everything because you broke up with him all those years ago, Michael says as he holds a bloody knife.

Sora whispers, looking into my eyes.

I won't leave you, I reply as I shake my head.

It looks as if Michael is going to walk away, but instead, he jumps on Mimi and plunges the knife into her.

I cry out as I let go of Sora and kneel beside Mimi.

Michael smiles and says, That is for leaving me.

I whisper as I hold onto her tight.

I can feel my temper taking over and I stand up. Wrong move. Michael chucks the knife with abnormal strength and it plunges into my chest.

That is for stealing Mimi away and having an affair with her, Michael says as I fall to the ground, in between Mimi and Sora.

As I lose consciousness, I see Michael stab himself in the heart and instantly die.

***

I can't believe we walked for two hours for nothing, Tai says as he sighs.

Oh well, at least we are almost back, Kari says from beside me.

I'm glad Michael went ahead with Wallace. They can see if there is any change, Izzy says from behind me.



Did anyone just hear that? I ask as I stop.

I heard something, too! They must be in trouble! Tai cries out as he begins to run.

We are close to them T.K.! Kari says from beside me as we hold hands.

Tai shouts as he is the first one to enter the clearing.

I scream as I run beside him.

He's soaked in blood, so much that you can't even tell that he is wearing a blue shirt.

Where's Wallace? Kari asks in a whisper from beside me.

Guys! Guys! Run away! Wallace shouts as he runs into the clearing.

Michael has flipped. He hit me over the head with a log-

Wallace stops when he sees us all.

Michael did this? I ask in disbelief as I put my fingers on Matt's cold wrists.

He'll pay for this- Tai screams in rage, but then stops when he sees Michael dead.

I say as I begin to weep for my dead brother, Mimi, and Sora.


***
Twelve Years Later

Hey, want to come over?

I nod and walk out of the doors to my school.

What a crapy day. As usual, Mr. Welgh went on and on about having two parents as the most important thing in raising a child. That always makes me feel down, Adam admits as we walks beside me.

I skipped class, I say as I walk beside him.

I really wish you wouldn't skip class, Eve, Adam says as he walks beside me.

I respond by crossing my arms.

After ten minutes of walking, we arrive at Adam's apartment. His dad isn't home, as usual, and we have the apartment to ourselves everyday. I have actually never met Adam's father, but I don't want to meet him.
Adam guides me to his room and turns on the light before we step inside. I automatically take off my clothes, as does Adam, and lay on the bed, just waiting for him to take me.

Adam and mine's tradition for when we feel blue. We began this last year when we were both upset one night. It was our fourteenth birthday and we don't have any friends except for each other. I just met him two years ago, but right away, we felt an instant bond. Sometimes the snobbish girls at school would ask if Adam and I are dating, but I would always say no. I don't consider Adam as a boyfriend', but as a guy who I can trust to open both my mouth and my legs to.

Adam and I have lots in common. We both are in the same grade, anti-social, have the same birthdays, and dead parents. Actually, his dad is alive, but you might as well say he is dead. Adam told me once that his father is a very quiet man, very quiet. As for myself, I don't have any parents. My parents died in a car crash when I was little. Every time I ask my grandmother, who I live with, how they were hit or how, she would never reply. I haven't asked her in three years and counting. I actually don't like to talk about my family. I don't even talk about my family to Adam and he never does either. I have no idea how many aunts or uncles he has and he doesn't know the same thing about me. That's what makes the kind of relationship we have work.

Adam approaches me and lies next to me. He takes a deep breath in before he puts on the condom and pushes my legs open. He doesn't kiss me or anything like a normal couple would do, for that would disturb the kind of feelings we have for each other. We sleep with each other for the pain we both hold inside of us.

After a few minutes, Adam falls out of breath beside me. We lay silent for a few seconds before I sit up and put my clothes back on.

I walk out of his room and over to his bathroom to fix myself up. I take a piece of Kleenex and wipe the tears that are forming in my deep blue eyes. I next take his comb and brush it through my long, thick blonde hair. I sigh in frustration for the comb won't go through my hair.

At that, the phone rang.

I walk out of the bathroom, as if Adam might answer it for once, but as usual, doesn't.

-please leave a message after the beep. Beep. This is Mr. Welgh, Adam's health teacher. Mr. Kamiya, I would like to talk about your sons attitude with you. He is a very disturbed boy to put it lightly. If you could call me please, that would be great. Thank you.

I glance at Adam after the message stops recording. His face holds anger as he finishes listening to the recording.

Adam strides quickly over to the answering machine, lifts it up, and screams in pain as he breaks the machine. I hate you, Mr. Welgh!

In most cases, peers in my school would think he is crazy, but not me. I know Adam too well to know that when he gets frustrated, he blows his temper. I on the other hand try to keep my cool with the occasional blow outs.

Calm down, I say quietly as I stand beside him.

Adam cries out as he puts his hands over his head.

Adam next takes my arms and shoves me to the floor. I let him take off my pants and force his way into me. I don't scream or move, even though this is rape. For I let Adam take out his frustration while I hold onto the desperation of pleasure and need.

After Adam finishes, though he is still inside of me, he collapses on top of me, breathing heavy. I am too, out of breath and clutch onto him, for the needy side of me is taking over for just a second. Adam takes himself out of me and pulls back on his pants. I also put back on my blue jeans and stand up.

I'm sorry, Adam mutters, still out of breath.

Don't be. You just better hope that I don't get pregnant, I say, also out of breath as I walk back into the bathroom to try to fix myself again.

A few minutes have passed.

Adam, do you think that you have any pain killers? I have one hell of a headache, I ask as I come out of the bathroom.

Adam looks up from the couch where he is crying and says, I think so. I haven't used any pain killers in a while. The last time I did, I got hooked on them.

Adam leads me into the kitchen to find them. The two of us look in every cupboard, but with no luck.

Maybe there is some in my dad's bedroom? Adam suggests as he leaves the kitchen.

I follow him out and say, Maybe we shouldn't go into your dad's room. When was the last time you were there?

I haven't been in his room for a couple of years, Adam replies as he cautiously opens the door.

I follow Adam into his dad's room. A huge mess of clothes and garbage is covering the floor.

It is really messy in here, I comment as I follow Adam.

I know. I couldn't even remembered what his room looked like before we came in here, Adam responds.

Adam, I have a bad feeling. It's okay, I don't need the aspirins, I say as I pull on his arm.

Adam doesn't seem to be listening to me as he stands in front of his father's dresser. Suddenly, I feel the urge to open the bottom drawer. Adam is the first to move.

Adam opens the drawer and I kneel beside him to take a look. The first thing in the drawer is a photograph. Adam pulls it out and looks closely at it.

My mother... He whispers as he touches the face of an orange hair girl.
The photograph has a bunch of kids about ten or eleven in it.

You do resemble your father... if that is him, Adam says as he points to a boy with blonde hair and eyes.

I hold back a sob and instead ask, What do you think those are? Do you think it is some funky background or something?

The green monster with huge teeth stares back at us. Another half horse looking digimon also stands behind the children. A robot looking thing has a weird man with a bald head sticking out of him.

No, it can't be. Look at these monster looking things that are in front of the other children. I wonder what this picture means?

I could only nod at what Adam said.

Adam sets down the photograph and we both look into the drawer. Six identical devices with miniature screens on them lay at the bottom of the drawer. Beside them, four strange, identical necklaces are laying. I pick up one of them and a blue color is surrounded by a goldish outside. A symbol of two resembling two half circles is in the middle of it. I look at Adam who is holding an orange one with a sun looking shape in the middle of it.

I wonder what these are? I ask as I pick up a second one that is green with a tear drop symbol.

I don't know Eve, but I have a strange feeling. Do you get the feeling that we have seen these before? Or we have know each other for longer than we think...?

I get that feeling too, I whisper as I set back down the two necklaces.
After Adam sets the two he was holding, a bright light came from two of the devices.

I look at Adam who nods and we both pick one up.

I scream as we are suddenly in some sort of vortex, traveling very quickly. We land with a thud.

Are you okay, Eve?

I lift my head up and Adam helps me stand up.

Where are we? I ask in a whisper.

I don't know. Where did this forest come from? Where are we?

We walk beside each other into a small clearing. Three tombstones are in the middle of it, flowers growing over each grave. Adam and I approach the graves and read it.

Oh my gosh, this is my mother's grave, Adam whispers as he kneels down to the tombstone on the right.

I look at the middle tombstone that reads Matt Ishida. The one to left says Mimi Tachikawa. I kneel between the two and touch them both.
Why are our parents buried here, in this strange place, together? Hold on, the photograph showed Sora and both my parents together. They must have known each other. Why were there monsters in the picture? Are we where they were when that photograph took place? Where are we?

~Your questions may be answered. You are in the Digital World.~

I look at Adam who has an expression of horror on his face. He looks up and tries to hide it with a weak smile.

Adam, did you just hear a voice saying something about a digital something? I ask quietly.

He nods slowly.

~This is the Digital World. If you are wondering, I am talking to you two at the same time.~

~What is the Digital World?~ Adam asks, but not aloud.

~The Digital World is a place where digimon live. You two are Digidestined. Both of your parents were Digidestined. You have a duty to save both worlds. There are many kids and adults around the world who are Digidestined. Why, you ask, are you here? You are here to change the past. You see, these tombstones mark the death of your parents who died to protect you. But the problem is, they shouldn't have tried to protect you, it only ended their lives.~

~You mean to tell me my mother died because she was trying to protect me?~ Adam asks angrily.

~Yes. Your father and both of your mothers should have let the natural course take place of letting you become Digidestined. Now, they are dead. I haven't mentioned one part. You can change the past so that your parents will live. I will give you a short image of the lives you never knew they had and how they died~ The peaceful voice says.

Adam and I both stand up as the tombstones disappear. We are suddenly transparent.

No, Tai.

Stop it, Matt! Call off your digimon! the brunette boy shouts.

No, Tai, The blonde boy, who I am guessing is my father, says.
They begin to fight.

~This is when they are ten years old, about thirty years ago. This is five days before the picture you found takes place.~

The image disappears, replacing a new one. It shows Matt having his arm around Sora. It takes place in the city. A large monster is frozen in place.

Imperialdramon! You have to save those children! A boy who resembles Adam's father shouts.

That image disappears replacing another one.

A teenager, who looks about sixteen, is crying on the ground. That's my mother!

You're right Matt, A blond boy says coldly, Why don't you start by telling us the truth and be straightforward with it.

Everyone turned to Matt, waiting for an explanation.

Matt, tell them, My uncle T.K. screams.



Just tell them! T.K. screams again.

Mimi and I have almost been dating for a year. We have been sneaking around and haven't told anybody anything. How did you know?

Does that really matter? Is that all you care about, or do you not even care for me? T.K. asks.

Tai yells, Why would you go out with Mimi if she was pregnant?

Tai you're so dense! Do you not have any brains?

Mimi becomes up and runs with Sora chasing after her. I stare closely at the face expression of the father I barely knew. I next look at the same monsters that were in the image before this one.

~That was when an evil digimon named Liarmon made an illusion to make your mother think that she was pregnant. Now to move on.~

You're up, Tai stutters as Matt walks into the kitchen.

Like before, we are transparent again.

Uh yeah, Matt says as he pours himself a glass of orange juice. Why wouldn't I be?

Because Matt, a red hair boy who I recognize from the photograph replies, you and Mimi have been unconscious for eight days.

Matt drops the glass.

The image disappears with a new one appearing.

~That was the first time, Eve, that your parents released Sincere Friendship. Before they did, they also went into a coma that they almost died from.~

T.K. falls on the ground beside Mimi and onto Matt, I can't even call them Mom or Dad, and begins to cry. It's all my fault!

A yellow light comes from no where and surrounds the two of them.

He has a pulse! Tai cries out excitedly.

~That was the first time Matt dies, but he comes back to life. T.K. and Kari died during the fight against Liarmon, but also came back to life.~

I can't believe my aunt and uncle are also part of this, Adam whispers as he waits for the next image.

T.K., my uncle, is also in this too. Who are your aunt and uncle? I ask to Adam.

No, Kari and T.K. are my aunt and uncle. Kari is my dad's sister.

Well T.K. is my dad's brother, I whisper.

We have the same cousin? How could we not know about this? Adam asks in disbelief.

They must have been hiding it. Along with this part of their lives, I reply as I nod towards the next image that is appearing.

How can you be human? a blue hair man asks.

That's an easy explanation, I'm not, The strange looking man says. He suddenly turns to an army green color and grows taller. I'm Gorhiomon!

Use Reliable Knowledge! T.K. shouts to the red and blue hair men.
The image disappears.

~That was an image of Joe and Izzy, great friends to your parents, about to use Reliable Knowledge. In the image before, T.K. and Kari use their power, Hopeful Light.~

Loving Courage! Tai and Sora shout at the same time as an orange and red light come from the same necklaces from earlier to a strange looking monster.

I knew I would lose, but that doesn't bother me, the woman monster says as she disappears into some sort of dust.

We did it! Tai exclaims.

I glance over to where Mimi, T.K., and Kari lay beside Matt, who has a knife sticking out of him.

Joe's alive, Izzy shouts, and Shila too!

Tai asks as he leans next to the girl with blonde hair.

It's not fair, he just wanted to bring Joe to the hospital. He was just being a good friend, T.K. cries softly.

Matt was just being a good friend, T.K. He died to be a good friend, Sora says as she burst into tears.

What have I done? Joe asks as he runs over to Matt.

The image disappears.

~You see, Joe and his girlfriend, Shila, were under Klosiomon's, the digimon you saw being destroyed, spell. Matt did wake up from Joe killing him.~

Do you actually think that I, Rosoftimon, can be defeated by the likes of you? The little green monster asked with a snarl.

I sure do! Matt shot back as he rides a metal wolf.

After a few strikes, the metal wolf gets hit, sending him and Matt to the ground.

Matt shouts as the wolf land hard from an attack.

As the small digimon approaches Matt, I feel around for Adam's hand. He gives me his hand.

Matt, move, the wolf growls.

Suddenly, Matt begins to glow blue and through the trees, nine colors come and went right through Matt towards the small monster. The monster exploded.

The image disappears.

~Those colors were the crests of the other Digidestined, your parents and their friends. They went together to defeat this evil digimon. If you are wondering what crests are, they are the necklaces you found earlier. They are characteristics that your parents hold. Now, I want to show you this next image. But I don't know, Eve, if you want to let Adam see this disturbing image.~

I want him to see everything I do. I whisper in my head as I tighten my grip on Adam's hand.
The next image appears; it is disturbing.

Matt, you didn't answer my question. You haven't said anything to me.

Are you using this knife on yourself? Mimi asks as she holds a bloody knife.

Matt has watery eyes, but doesn't let them flow. He lets Mimi take his arm, pull up the sleeve, and take off a bloody bandage to show slits in his wrist.

Matt, why are you doing this? she asks quietly.

You actually think there is some point to living, Mimi? My life as I know it is over. It has been for three years. I died the day you left me, Matt says angrily.

The image disappears.

~Your parents broke up for three years and your mother began to date a Digidestined named Michael. They made love that night and your mother became pregnant with you.~

I'm sorry, but they both didn't make it.

Matt runs over to where Mimi lays in the hospital bed. He shakes his head and says, This wasn't supposed to happen. What happened to being soul mates and best friends for life?

Matt begins to cry by Mimi's bedside.

This isn't fair! I need you Mimi, you are my life, Matt whispers.

Suddenly, a blue and green light encloses them and the doctors fall unconscious.

Mimi sits up and whispers, Sincere Friendship.

Matt nods and says, It... it is back again.

Matt walks over to a bath, not too far away from us, and watches as the baby grows to a normal size.

Mimi walks over to Matt and whispers, It is our girl. Matt, our baby is a girl.

Matt laughs happily as he swings Mimi around and yells, Our daughter is alive and so are you!

The image disappears.

That was me. I've died before. I say in my head, forgetting that Adam and the unknown voice are listening.

~Now, before I show you the next image, you have to promise to think the worst. This image shows how your parents died.~

I take a firmer grip on Adam's hand and brace myself for the worst.
Sora gets stabbed by a man with blonde hair and screams as she falls into Matt's arms.

They turn around and Matt exclaims,

Mimi cries out at the blonde man with a bloody knife.

Matt cries out again as he shakes Sora.

Adam's hand begins to loosen and he begins to tremble.

You die because you didn't stay a couple with Matt. You ruined everything because you broke up with him all those years ago, Michael says as he holds the bloody knife.

Sora whispers.

I won't leave you, Matt says as he shakes his head.

Michael jumps on Mimi and stabs her. He stands up and laughs evilly.

Matt cries out as he sets Sora down and kneels beside Mimi.
Michael smiles and says, That is for leaving me.

Matt stands up with an angry look on his face. Michael chucks the knife with super strength and it plunges into Matt.

That is for stealing Mimi away from me and having an affair with her, Michael says. He then takes the knife from Matt and plunges it into his heart and falls dead.

I want to run out towards them, but Adam holds me back with his trembling hand.

Tai shouts as he enters the clearing.

The image disappears and is replaced by the three tombstones again.

~Those are some of the many images of the past that your parents did to save you and the rest of the world. We are back in the present, but you two have the power to travel into the future or even the past to get more information of how you can defeat the digimon who did this. And no, you don't get to travel to the future past this point.~

~What do you mean the digimon who did this? Our parents were murdered by some jealous freak. There is nothing we can do~ Adam says with his mind as he lets go of my hand.

~That is not true. Just remember some of the images I gave you and see why your parents died. You can change the future so that these three tombstones are never here.~

~Who are you?~ I ask.

~A friend who once went into the Child of Light to explain the origins of the Digidestined. You will find your digimon partners tomorrow morning, so for now, try to think how you can change the past. You have twenty four hours to complete this, and if you fail, there is no second chance. I must go now. I hope you find what you are looking for.~

Adam and I both both cease being transparent and stand quietly, not daring to say a word.

I can't stand to be here, Adam whispers as he walks away from the tombstones we are standing in front of.

I take one last look at my parents tombstones before I follow Adam to who knows where. We walk for at least a half an hour. Both of us are lost in our thoughts.

It is getting dark. We should make a fire, Adam states as he stops in the middle of a small clearing.

And how do you suppose we do that? I ask.

Adam shrugs.

Oh, I know. Let's wish that we have a fire. That's it, I wish that we have a nice, warm fire in front of us, I say sarcastically.

Suddenly, a huge fire is in front of us.

Oh, my God. How did you do that? Adam asks as he stares at me.

I stare back into his reddy brown eyes, the only physical characteristic from his mother, and shrug.

We sit in front of the fire and not say anything.

I hate this! Why didn't that voice give us more of a clue? What a bitch! I hope she rots in hell! Adam screams as he stands up.

I also stand up and yell back, regretting every word, In case if you haven't noticed, we aren't going to get any more information! Stop getting so worked up! No wonder nobody likes you, you lose your temper too easily!

Adam stares at me, his eyes show sadness. Then, they show anger as he replies, Well at least I have a few friends unlike somebody here.

I know I don't have any friends and I have grown to accept that! I know I am a slut! I scream back.

You aren't a slut, Eve, Adam says quietly.

I am too. Even though you are the only person I sleep with, I am still a slut because I am a fifteen year old bitch who would do anything to have a friend. You are the only person I can trust! I hate myself for that reason! I yell back as I turn away so Adam can't see the tears falling down my face.

You aren't a slut. I care for you too much to let you say that about yourself, Adam says quietly as he walks beside me.

I turn away again.

Eve, don't shut me away. You too, are the only person I can trust. Nobody else knows what we feel. No one! I am sorry for taking your virginity away! I am sorry for making you feel so depressed.

I chose to be like this, Adam. This is me, I say as I wipe the tears away.

No, we have to change! Both of us have to stop pitying ourselves!

Well, we can't worry about that now. That voice says we only have twenty four hours left. I can't take this pressure, I say as I turn back around.

I can't either! Adam screams in frustration.

Take me, I whisper.

Adam nods and pushes me to the ground. We both take our clothes off quickly. I open my legs up to let Adam in.

Adam collapses on me, but is still inside of me. I clutch onto him and let my tears fall onto his shoulder. I can feel his tears on my shoulder. He takes himself out of me and rolls beside me.

Adam, if we don't bring our parents back to life, I'm going to join them.

No Eve, I need you, Adam whispers as he stares into my eyes.

What do you expect me to say? Too bad we didn't win. Oh well, let's just go back to having casual sex to get out our frustration, I say sarcastically as tears flow down my face.

Then I will join you, Adam says as he wipes the tears off of my face.

I nod and cuddle a bit closer to him, something we have never done before. Adam leans down and kisses me softly on the lips. He breaks apart and blushes as he turns away.

He has never kissed me before! What do I do? I mean the kind of relationship we have isn't for love, but the needs and frustration we have. I feel so frustrated!

Take me again, Adam.

Adam nods and rolls back on top of me. He didn't only take me then, but many times throughout the night.

***

I lift my head up to find myself sleeping beside Adam. I slowly get up and put back on my clothes. I stare at Adam who is laying naked on the ground.

I have never felt like this when I've looked at Adam before. I've seen him naked many times so why is this time any different? Am I in love with him? No, I can't be. His mom and my dad dated each other. It even showed in that image where that ImperialDramon mons- digimon was frozen. We have the same cousin too. Wouldn't that be incest or something? No, we don't have the same blood in us. But still, it would be too weird. I mean, what if his mother and my dad had sex? That is so gross!

When did you get up? Adam asks

I turn around and look at Adam as he finishes tightening his belt. He then grabs his orange t-shirt and pulls it on.

About five minutes ago, I reply.

I wonder when our digimon partners will come? Adam asks.

I shrug and turn away.

Are you okay? Adam asks.

No. This is so weird. Adam, our parents dated before. What if our parents had sex or something? That is sort of gross considering that you and I...

Whatever. I don't give a fuck, Adam says coldly as he begins to walk into some direction.

Where are you going? Shouldn't we wait for our digimon partners? I ask as I begin to run to catch up to him.

Adam looks at me when I catch up to him. He replies, Why should we wait? Who says I want my mother to be back alive? Who says that makes a fucking difference at all?

You have a good point, but wouldn't you give anything to see your father happy? After all, you saw the power they have. That Loving Courage power was really amazing. I think it means those crests together or something.

Eve, I don't know how I could face life if we did change the past. How could I forget the pain you and I go through everyday?

Well how could you live with yourself if we don't try? I ask as Adam's stops.

I guess you are right.

Come on, maybe we should wait for them in that clearing. Than again, how will they know where we are?

Adam shrugs as he turns around.

We sit in front of the ashes where there was a small fire last night.

Let's think of a plan, I suggest as I meet Adam's gaze, we should have last night...

That voice said to use the facts. What facts are there? I think we should see how they died again, Adam says.

No, I can't watch that again. We know that they were stabbed from that jealous freak... I say, but not really sure how to add onto that.

This is so weird. I wonder what the kids are doing at school? Adam asks, but I don't reply.

Hold on! I don't think that Michael would have killed anyone because he hates Matt for having an affair with Mimi. Wait a second, Matt's friend Joe was under a spell. Maybe Michael was too!

I've got it! I exclaim as I stand up.
Adam puts a quizzical look on his face.

Michael may have been under control like that other Digidestined, Joe. We have to go into the past and see what happened, I explain as I begin to pace around.

I think you are right. Also, our parents didn't know he was there so maybe he left the others to come to kill him. We need to know why he left and what happened to make him do that.

I guess we have to go back to the day where our parents died, I say as I sit back down.

So, how do we walk in the past? Adam asks.

Maybe I should wish again like I did with the fire, I say sarcastically.

Adam stares at me and I stare back.

You try wishing, I say as I nod my head to Adam.

Fine. I wish that we can go back into the past, an hour before the death of our parents, Adam says as he closes his eyes.

We wait for a few second, but nothing happens.

Why isn't this working? We should be able to go into the past by wishing like I did last night. I wish I could just walk into the past!

We suddenly find ourselves transparent again. We are back in front of the tombstones again.

I just imagined ourselves walking in the past, Adam whispers.

I did too. I guess we don't wish for it, but imagine it, I say.

I'll try wishing now. I wish that Eve and I would go into the past, an hour before our parents died.

Look, there are Mimi and Sora, I say as I point to Mimi and Sora who are sitting beside Matt. Matt is laying down, I think sleeping.

Why don't you just call her mom? Adam asks.

It isn't any of your business, I reply with a scowl.

Look over there, four children are in some little dome.

We walk over to the dome, and Adam gasps.

That's us, Lexie, and Ray, Adam says.

Who's Ray? I ask.

Yes, I guess you never got to meet him because you didn't keep in touch with him. Ray is Izzy's child with a Digidestined, Yolei. Izzy's really smart.

I guess we did know each other from day one, I comment as I stare at Adam and I, who are cuddled closely by each other.

I bet those are our digimon partners, Adam says as he points to the digimon who are cuddled in our arms.

But those are in the past, we should find the ones from the future. Let's go back.

Wait Eve, I think we have to go another hour into the past. Better yet, let's wish to see Michael, Adam says as he closes his eyes.

I also close my eyes and begin to imagine Michael as he walks with the others. We are suddenly there.

You guys, we are going to head back early to see if Matt has waken up yet. It isn't safe to leave the girls there too long by themselves if Matt is still unconscious, a boy with blonde hair says as he points at himself and Michael.

T.K. says as he points at Michael.

A girl with brown hair slaps his hand down and takes it in her hand. She says, Why don't you go see if Matt has awaken yet?

Bye Michael, bye Wallace! Tai shouts as Wallace and Michael begin to walk the opposite direction.

I nod at Adam and we follow them.

I just thought of something. What happens if Michael became under control a few days ago. Who knows how long ago? Adam asks.

No, I know that he becomes control here. For one thing, when our parents died, Wallace wasn't there. So where did Wallace go then?

Yeah, but still. Maybe he has already been under control for a while and hits Wallace over the head already? Who says that Michael is even under control? Adam asks.

It is the only lead we have right now. Let's just follow them and see what happens, I reply.

We walk for about fifteen minutes until all of the sudden, a black human comes out from behind them. Wallace and Michael don't notice as they are about to cross a bridge.

Go ahead, Wallace, Michael urges.

Wallace walk across the small wooden bridge and lands safely on the other side. As Michael is about to walk across, it suddenly breaks.

Damn it! Wallace curses.

I can meet you up there. There is a ridge up there. I will have to walk into the forest a bit though because I can't walk along the shore over there, Wallace says as he points ahead.

Fine, see you up there.

Let's keep following Michael. I guess this is why they aren't together,
Adam says as he begins to follow Michael into the forest.

Yeah, but then why did Wallace cross the river? Michael also must have to cross it in order to get to Mimi, Matt, and Sora, I reply.

We follow Michael for a few seconds.

Did you see that black human? I ask suddenly.

Yes, but I thought it was my imagination, Adam answers.

I wonder why he is here?

I don't know Eve, but maybe he is the enemy.

Michael suddenly sighs and says outloud, I shouldn't have punched Matt last night. Mimi never loved me and I have to deal with that. I know, when we get back, I'll apologize.

Adam and I exchange glances.

This proves it, Adam whispers as we continue to follow Michael.

No you won't, a voice says from no where.

Who's there? Michael demands as he stands on guard.

You will kill Matt, Mimi and Sora. Think of the pain they caused you.

I can see how Matt and Mimi caused me pain, but what did Sora have to do with this? Michael asks.

Sora and Matt dated, but then broke up a year later. If Sora stayed with Matt, Mimi would be all yours.

Listen, even though I don't like Matt, I refuse to kill him or Mimi and Sora. Leave me alone. I have powerful friends, Michael says.

You mean Betemon or the other Digidestined? Your digimon is on the continent of Server, while you are on another island. The other Digidestined won't be coming for a while. You will kill them.

No I won't! Michael screams as he begins to run.

I begin to run after Michael and so does Adam.

You will too. There is no point in running. I am right in front of you, the voice says, but then appears in front of Michael.

A black light comes out of him and Michael screams as it enters him.

Michael soon stands up and waits for his orders.

Go hit Wallace over the head with a tree branch and then go and kill Matt Ishida, Mimi Tachikawa, and Sora Kamiya.

As you wish, Adam says as he bows at the human.

I have an idea, Adam whispers.

Well it will have to wait because we need to go and find our digimon in the future, I say.

My plan is that. We need to go take the digimon from our younger age. I don't think that our digimon will come to us.

Good plan. Let's think back to that, come back into the past, and destroy this human, I say as I close my eyes.

I think he is a digimon, Adam mumbles.

We are now back to the scene where Sora and Mimi are talking.

I love Matt so much, Mimi gushes as he smiles from Matt, who is still unconscious, to Sora.

I know you do, Sora says with a giggle. She suddenly become quiet and asks, Why did you break up with Matt?

I stop and wait for the explanation, so does Adam.

I don't know, but I completely regret it, Mimi replies with a frown as she stares at Matt. Everyday I look at that scar on his arm and think about mistakes that we both made.

Tai told me that Matt slit his wrists and that he almost killed himself. I know I never told you this, but I'm really sorry about the situation, Sora mentions quietly.

Me too and thank you, Mimi says.

Come on, the faster we do this, the faster we can get our parents back, Adam says as he pulls my arms along.

We walk over to our sleeping selves and stop in front of the dome.

I wonder why Matt is unconscious? I think this dome has to do with it, Adam says as he begins to reach his hand forward.

I also slowly stick my hand out. Adam sticks his hand through the dome and smiles in satisfaction, something he rarely does.

Maybe because we are transparent and figments from the past that it doesn't affect us, I say as we enter the small dome.

You were so cute when you were little. I still cannot believe we knew each other since this age, Adam says as he smiles at me.

I smile and nod my head.

Well, what do we do? Do we just pluck the digimon from thei- our hands? Won't they wake up? Adam asks.

I shrug and lean down. I touch myself's face and stroke the cheek gently. I was so innocent then. What happened?

He's awake!

I turn to see the small, black digimon hop out of Adam's child's hands and into the older Adam's hands.

I look back to see the small, red digimon jump into my arms. The red digimon begins to change shape. Suddenly, there is a white and orange digimon sitting in my arms. He has a huge horn on the top of its head. I glance at Adam who is now holding a pink digimon with really long ears.

Let's leave this dome, Adam whispers as he walks out.

Suddenly, after I am out, the little device on me starts to shake and the digimon I hold jumps out of my arms.

Koramon, Digivolve to Agumon!

Tsunomon, Digivolve to Gabumon!

How did you change? I ask to the dog like digimon in front of me.

I Digivolved with the help of you and your digivice. My name is Gabumon, Gabumon answers.

I am Agumon, Agumon says.

What are digivices? Adam's asks.

They are the things on your belt, Agumon replies.

Just say the word, and we will Digivolve again, Gabumon says.

Fine, Digivolve, Adam says as he holds onto his digivice.

Agumon, Digivolve to Greymon!

Go for it, I say with a nod.

Gabumon, Digivolve to Garurumon!

You look like the metal wolf in the image, I whisper as I stare at the still glowing digimon.

You must mean MetalGarurumon. I've heard of one digimon who has Digivolved that high. He belongs to a Digidestined like I do now to you, Garurumon growls.

I glance at Matt who is still unconscious. Mimi and Sora don't even seem to notice this entire procedure.

He is the Digidestined with the Gabumon like me, Garurumon says as he nods towards Matt.

Get on! Adam shouts from up top of Greymon's shoulder.
Garurumon kneels down and I hop onto his back.

We have to think about the past again. Let's go back when Wallace and Michael were just leaving! I shout towards Adam.

Adam nods. I close my eyes. We are suddenly back when Michael and Wallace are just walking away from Tai and the others.

Bye Michael, bye Wallace! Tai shouts.

We ride on our digimon as we walk after them.

So, we just attack him and he dies. Right? Adam calls down to me.

I guess so, I reply.

Wallace and Michael are walking for a little while when we see that digimon again.

Greymon shouts as he shoots fire from his mouth.

Howling Blaster! Garurumon shouts as he leaps into the air to shoot his attack.

Both attacks hit the digimon and he is gone.

We did it! Michael and Wallace didn't even hear anything! Let's go back into the future just before they were supposed to die-

What's happening? I ask to nobody in particular as we suddenly vanish.
We are back in the clearing, but it is a different scene. I am inside the dome again. I sit up with the red digimon in my arms. My arms are small and so are my fingers. I glance at Adam who is a child. Lexie and Ray are asleep next to us.

Lexie and Ray here! We small again, Adam mumbles out, looking confused.



I look up to see Matt running for me followed by Mimi, Sora, Tai, Izzy, Joe, Wallace, Michael, T.K., and Kari. As soon as Matt approaches me, he scoops me in my arms and hugs me softly.

Eve, my baby, Mimi says as she takes me from Matt's arms and hugs me.

I say as I want to close my eyes from the previous events and the fact that I am a child again.

Let's go home, Matt says softly, which is the last thing I hear before I fall asleep.

***

I had the weirdest dream last night, I say as I walk into the kitchen to find Mimi sipping her coffee.

She looks up with a smile and says, I also had a weird dream. I dreamt that Eve was much older and she and Adam were friends. Or at least they were companions, they had sex everyday because they were depressed because we were dead. What a horrible dream.

I had the same dream, I say.

You're joking, right? Mimi demands as she stands up. Don't play games with me, Matt Ishida.

I'm not. I dreamed that Eve and Adam would have sex because they were depressed. We were dead and so was Sora. It felt like it was twelve years, but all jammed together in one dream, I say as I take a seat and motion Mimi to sit down.

Do you think it was a dream? It had to be. You and I never died or did we?

I shrug.

Mommy, Daddy, you say is true. No dream, image of past. Image of past, Eve says quietly as she walks into the kitchen.

I lift Eve into her high chair and intently wait for her to talk as she tries to find the words.

Adam and me have sex. He rape me. I let him. We sad, Eve says with pain in her eyes, you dead. I live with grandma and told me you die in car crash. I sad so I sex with Adam. We no knew that we have same cousin.

Mimi and I exchange glances, too shocked to say anything.

***
Twelve years Later

Eve, guess what?

I ask to my best friend, Kimmy.

There is a new boy coming to our school, Kimmy replies as she begins to open her locker that is beside mine.

What is his name? I ask as I shut my locker.

I'm not sure, but I hear he is a total hottie. He is said to have brown hair and eyes. He is supposed to be really good at soccer too. Also, they say he got kicked out of his old school for raping a girl.

I see. Are you going to ask him out like you do to every new guy? I ask.

But of course. I'm sure he will love me, Kimmy says as she batts her eyes.

I'm sure he will. Just be careful, that probably was a rumor, but you never know. Let's get to class, I say as I begin to walk towards homeroom.

Kimmy and I are a bit early to school this morning, but we always are so that way, she can go ask out all the boys she wants to and won't be late for class. Being her best friend, I go with her, even though I never accept or ask out anyone. I never will. We walk into the classroom.

Miss. Ishida and Miss. Lichi. This is the newest addition to our class, Adam Kamiya, Mrs. Yomichi says.

Adam and I stare into each other's eyes and I drop my books.

Can you please show him around our school? Mrs. Yomichi asks.

No, he already knows his way, I reply, but regret the words.

Mrs. Yomichi and Kimmy both look at me strangely while Adam just continues to stare at me.

I'll be happy to show him around. So will Eve, Kimmy says excitedly as she helps me pick up my books.

I can't, I say as I take my math book from Kimmy and walk out of class quickly.

The bell rings ten minutes later, the sound filling the now silent hallway. I turn the corner and see Mr. Welgh, the health teacher, roaming the hallway. I turn around, but not quick enough.

Miss. Ishida, you are to be at class now. Since this is your first time being late, I won't give you a late slip, but a warning, Mr. Welgh says.

I say as I turn around to walk back to my homeroom classroom where Mrs. Yomichi takes attendance.

I knock on the door quietly and one of the students answers it.

Someone's late, Rob Foirchi says with a loud laugh.

Shut up, I hiss as I walk past him and over to my seat at the back of my room. Adam now sits one row over mine, we are both in the back.

Adam will bring out the worst of me. I haven't seen him since I was three years old the day my parents realized that they died somehow. We never talk about it anymore, I mean we never talked about my other life before this one. I beleive that my parents think that I have forgotton, but I haven't. Unlike a normal child, I can remember every detail of this life and my previous. It is strange, even though most people can only remember major events of their lives, if even that, but I can remember my entire life. Now that Adam's in my life again, I'm scared that we might fall back into old routines.

***

I have a date with Thomas on Friday and a date with Mikey on Saturday. Should I try to book a date with Adam on Sunday or would you rather date him? Kimmy asks with a giggle as she sets down her day planner.
I don't say anything as I play with the food in front of me. I glance up at Kimmy who smiles. Our table, that is just a two seated table, is full by us.

Adam says as he is suddenly in front of us, standing.

I put my head down and look away.

Want to go on a date with me? Kimmy asks.

I don't date for my reasons, Adam replies coolly. Eve, we need to talk, now.

No we don't. I never wanted to see you again. Our lives-

I stop when I see Adam nod his head at Kimmy, who has a confused look on her face.

Come on, Adam says as he takes my arms.

Don't touch me; I know how to stand up, I hiss as I stand up. I look at Kimmy and put a weak smile on my face as I say, I'll see you later.

I follow Adam out of the cafeteria and we walk side by side down the hallway. Our shoulders aren't touching and we can't look at each other in the eye.

It's been a while, Adam comments as we continue to walk.

I don't say anything as I walk; my arms crossed over my chest.

We need to talk about us.

I look at Adam in the eye and whisper, No, we don't. I can't talk to you. I can barely face you.

I know it is hard, but if we are going to be in the same class, we might as well be able to communicate.

No, we don't. Don't your parents know I go to this school? Our parents have done a good of enough job hiding us from each other for twelve years, so why now?

I don't know Eve, as far as I know, my parents either think I remember the past or don't and have no idea that we know each other... more than we should.

Don't say it Adam. I am a virgin in this life. I am proud of it, too.

So am I. Why do you think that I turned down your friend? I've never even kissed a girl before... well in this life anyway.

So, you didn't get kicked out of your old school for raping a girl? I ask.

No, I wouldn't be here if I did. You should know me better, Adam replies.

Maybe I don't want to know you anymore. Actually, I don't know this side of you. I am still familiarizing myself with this side of me. Even though it has been twelve years, I still am not sure how to act around others or my parents.

I know what you mean, Adam says quietly.

I'm scared that if we become friends, we might begin to do what we did twelve years ago. I don't think that I can handle it.

Eve, who says we are going to do what we used to? We are happy now... well at least I am.

Well, maybe I'm not so sure. Maybe I want to go back to the life where you and I had sex to wash away all of our problems? Maybe I am not sure if I am happy, I confess as I walk away.

***

I open the door quietly and shut it the same way as I walk into my apartment.

What a day! Of course when I got back in the cafeteria, Kimmy was convinced that we are a couple. I told her that we share the same cousin, which is true, and it kept her mouth shut.

As I approach the kitchen, I can hear two voices.

Matt, I don't know.

Mimi, we need to know if she remembers or not. We have to find out. I regret not bringing this up earlier, but we have to now. When she gets home from school, we will ask her plain and out.

What if she doesn't remember? Then what will we say?

We will tell her the truth that she is a Digidestined and all we were was curious. Plus, we can't go lying to our daughter forever. If she doesn't know about our past, then she should.

Okay Matt, I guess we will.

Why are they home? I know, I'll sneak out and go to Kimmy's house. That's it! I walk to the door and open it quietly, but not quiet enough.
Eve, is that you? Mom asks.

I shut the door and sigh in frustration.

How was your day? Mom asks as she and Dad come into the living room.

I reply through gritted teeth.

Good. Would you like some cookies your father baked? Mom asks.

No thank you. Why are you guys home from work so early? I ask as I set down by knapsack and walk past them.

I turn around and wait for the explanation. My parents exchange glances, but remain silent.

Don't play this game with me! I shout, but quietly.

Both my parents have surprised looks on their faces.

I'm out of here! I declare as I walk past them.

Dad grabs my arm.

Don't touch me! I shriek as I pull away from him.

We need to talk, Dad says quietly.

I look into the deep blue eyes he has, the same ones I have and say,

The doorbell rings.

I wasn't expecting them here this soon, Mom mumbles as she walks over to the door.

We'll talk later, Dad says as he leaves my side and walks over to the door.

It is so good to see you, Mimi says as she welcomes in the visitors.

I walk away and into the kitchen, not wanting to face any of my parents friends. After a few minutes of greeting, I could hear an awkward silence.
Finally, a males voice says, This is our son, Adam.

It is so nice to see you. Your father has told us so much about you, Mom gushes.

No, he can't be here. No way!

Now where did Eve go? Eve, can you come in here? Mom calls.

I walk into the living room, not daring to look at Adam.

Wow, you resemble your father so much, Sora says.

I wonder what I would look like if my dad and Sora got married?

Thank you, I reply quietly.

I'm not too sure if you and Adam have ever met before, but he is now going to your school, Tai explains.

No, we have never met, Adam says.

You two don't know this, but you have the same cousin, Lexie. Kari is my sister while T.K. is Matt's father, Tai says.

Wouldn't you know it? And they say you know who your family is, I say sarcastically.

Adam glares at me, but quickly puts a smile on his face and says, It's nice to meet you Eve.

I play it cool, and take his hand that he has out stretched and shake it. I say, It's nice to meet you too.

I know it was both awkward for us because both Adam and I's hands are shaking.

Can I get you anything? Mom asks.

No thank you, Tai says as he sits down.

Sora, Adam? Mom asks.

They both shake their heads as they take a seat on the couch.

I take a seat on the rocking chair while Dad takes a seat with Mom on the love seat. Another awkward silence follows.

So, how do you like the new school? Dad asks.

It's okay. I'm hoping that I can join the soccer team even though they already have the teams picked out, Adam replies.

I see smiles appear on both of our parents faces. They all exchange happy glances.

Would you like to see my new car, Tai? Dad asks.

Oh yes, I can remember you describing it to me over the phone, Tai answers as they both stand up and walk out of the door.

Sora, how is your new business coming along? Mom asks.

It is wonderful, Sora replies with a smile. She turns to me and asks, Do you have a boyfriend, Eve?

I take a quick glance at Adam before I reply, No way!

She isn't as boy crazy as I was, Mimi explains with a laugh. Do you have a girlfriend, Adam?

Adam shakes his head and answers, No, I try to focus on my schoolwork more than girls.

That is very smart of you, Mom says with a smile.

Eve, I hear that you hang around with the most popular girl in school. Maybe you could give me her phone number? Adam asks.

Sure, if you want to hang around with a ditsy girl like her, I reply with a fake smile.

Sora, why don't you and I go check out my flowers in the kitchen? Mom asks.

Sora gives her a funny look, but with the look in Mom's eyes, she agrees. They leave the room.

What's your problem? Adam asks in a whisper.

Me? Now I'm the one with a problem? Sorry Adam, but I think it is the other way around. One second your telling my mother that you want to concentrate with school and the next moment your asking for Kimmy's phone number!

So what? Are you jealous? Want me to ask for your phone number instead? Adam asks with a smile.

Stop it! I hiss quietly.

Calm down. What are you so worked up about? Look, we have to make sure our parents don't suspect that we have know each other for over fifteen years. We have to.

I know that, but it is kind of hard when you are all happy, I say.

Why shouldn't I be happy? I have a mother and father who I care for deeply and a loving family. What's your problem anyway? I thought you would just be as happy as I am that our parents are alive, Adam says.

I am happy about that! I snap as I then turn my head away from his eyes.

Than what are you so mad about? Adam asks with concern in his voice.

Why did you have to come back into my life, Adam? Why? I was doing so good before you came back today. My grades have improved, I have a best friend, and I can even stand Mr. Welgh's health classes. Now that you're here...

What difference does it make? We can be happy together. Don't you see? We can be best friends like before, Adam says.

I don't want to be best friends with you! If we become friends again, things in the past that happened might happen again! I scream back, forgetting to keep my voice low.

I glance to the doorway of the kitchen where Mom and Sora stand with shocked looks on their faces. Dad and Tai stand in the other doorway that leads into the living room from the front door.

Way to go, Eve! Adam yells back.

Shut the fuck up, Adam! Am I the only one who makes mistakes now? What, are you forgetting about the mistakes you made over twelve years ago? What happened to the days where you would throw temper tantrums because Mr. Welgh called your dad saying you are a screwed up kid? You would get so angry that you would break the answering machine or-

Shut up, Eve! I've been trying to forget those days! Adam screams as he clenches his fists.

I shove his shoulders and ask, How about the days you would rape me because you were so frustrated? Did you forget that, too? Answer me!

Fuck you! Fuck you, bitch! I hate you! I hate you Eve Ishida! Adam screams as Tai holds him back.

What are you going to do about it? Rape me? Go ahead asshole! I scream as I walk in front of him.

Dad starts to hold me as I try and wiggle loose of his grip.

Are you afraid of me, Adam? I ask again with tears flowing down my face.

Why would I be? Adam asks as he begins to calm down.

Because I am afraid of you, I reply as I burst into tears and collapse into my dad's arms.

Adam begins to cry and shakes his head in disbelief.

You hurt me so badly, I whisper as I continue to cry.

I'm so sorry, Eve, Adam says as he falls on his knees, still shaking his head, I'm sorry for the things I've done in the past. I'm sorry for taking your virginity away when you were fourteen and I'm sorry for all the times I raped you. Please, don't be scared of me. Please.

I'm not afraid of you for that. I'm afraid that if you come back into my life now, I will want to sleep with you again to get out my frustration. I will want to be with you everyday, I say ashamed as I put my head in my hands.

Adam and I both kneel on the floor, across from each other, and continue to cry. I am starting to stop, and when I do, I notice for the first time what kind of effect this entire incident has on my parents and Adam's. I look into my father's eyes and turn away to look into my mothers. Mom walks over to me and puts her arms around me.

Don't touch me, I say as I wiggle loose of her grip.

I stand up and so does Adam. An awkward silence follows.

I won't bug you anymore, Eve, Adam says quietly.

No, I don't want that! I cry back, but then quickly silence myself.

Than what do you want? You don't want me to come back into your life, but now your saying you don't want me to stay out of it. What do you want Eve?

I want you in my life. You are the only one who understands me. I just feel that I might want to get back into old routines if I know you again. I feel that I still am the old Eve who would do anything to be loved and needed, but I never am. Nobody needs me and that is why I feel that I might want to feel needed again, by you, I explain.

Eve, then we will help each other, Adam says firmly as he walks up to me.

I stare into his trusting eyes and can't help but smile. I hug him and he hugs me. We stay like this for a few moments.

We should have confronted them sooner, Dad whispers.

I missed you, Eve, Adam whispers into my ear.

I missed you too, I say as I let the tears fall.

We will always be friends. Best friends for life.
