The children were sucked in like normal, but this time the going was rough. They felt as though they were being pulled through a hailstorm and they could feel the hail banging ruthlessly on their skin. They felt as though they tumbled through darkness. The darkness swallowed them up till they felt that they couldn't breath. Just when they felt that their last supply of air was running out, everything stopped. Kari was the first one who had the courage to open her eyes. When she did, she saw that she was lying on grass. She sighed, thinking that they had come to their destination. But she sucked in her breath quickly. She was at her own apartment. She kneeled on the grass for a moment more before she looked down at her hands that clutched the grass. She released the grass and looked at them in awe. They were bigger. Her fingers were longer and slimmer, as was her hand. On her left hand was a gold band. She gasped and took it from her finger looking at the inscription on the inside. K.K. & T.T. May 17, 2007.
She stared at the inscription before feeling her face and hair. Her hair was long, down to her shoulders. Instead of her normal clothes she was wearing a blue t-shirt and jeans. She finally got the courage to look at the others. She couldn't see the others' faces, for they were still lying on the ground, but one person was sitting on his knees looking at an object in his hand. He looked to be tall from the length of his legs. His hair was blonde and fell into his eyes in a boyish way, though he seemed older. Then he looked up, and his crystal blue eyes were an unmistakable attestment to his identity. "T.K.?" Kari whispered. T.K. smiled and held up the matching wedding ring he'd been looking at. "Check this out." He said, in an unusually deep voice. She half smiled at him, then looked around. "What happened to us?" She whispered. T.K. stood and Kari gasped at his height. He was very tall, even taller than Matt. Well, the old Matt. She thought as she stood. She surprised herself. She was taller as well. Her head reached to his shoulder as she stood next to him. "This is really weird." He said softly. "You're telling me. It'll take me ages to get used to your voice." Kari said with a smile. T.K. smiled and put his large hand in her small one. "Things are gonna get even weirder I have a feeling." He said gruffly. "Wow Kari, you look great!" Kari looked down and saw Gatomon looking up at her. "Same thing with you T.K." Patamon put in.
"Oh. Either this is just a bad dream or my hormones are overeacting greatly to some unknown strain on my body, but either way, this isn't funny." Kari and T.K. turned around and saw someone standing up who looked like Izzy, only it was a grown up Izzy. His red hair was still cut close to his head and he was of a medium height. Izzy looked himself over, scratched his face, then pulled his hand back in horror. "I have a," He mumbled. "It's called a beard Izzy." Tai said wearily as he stood up. Izzy shuddered. Kari looked at her brother in awe. He was very tall and his brown hair had been toned down greatly. His brown eyes seemed to glow with a feeling of stress. Matt suddenly sat up from his position on the ground and looked about him in amazement. He looked at the others then looked down at the ground. Lying where she had fallen, was Sora. She, unlike Kari, still had her hair short, the red tresses resting against her flushed cheek.
Matt's blue eyes glistened and he began to shake her shoulders. "What? I don't wanna wake up Mom. Mom?" Sora looked up into Matt's face and sat up quickly. "What happened?" She asked. Matt smiled half-heartedly. "I think Izzy was right about his predictions." He said glancing at Izzy, who was still feeling his once smooth face. Sora grabbed her purse and pulled out a pocket mirror. She gasped at the face in the mirror. "I grew up." She whispered. "Can I see that?" Matt asked, holding out his hand. She handed it to him and he eyed himself in the mirror. He still looked the same and hadn't changed, so he handed the mirror to an anxious Izzy. "Holy Toledo! I look, I look, I look like Santa Claus!" He said, frantically running a hand over his very small red beard. "It doesn't look that bad Izzy. Just looks like you haven't shaved for a while." Tai said.
"Oh my gosh! What happened to me? I grew! I'm a giant! Gahhh!!" Davis yelled as he jumped up from the ground. "What's the matter? You look the same to me!" Veemon said. Kari smothered a giggle. Davis also looked the same, his brown eyes sparked with worry as he gazed at his long legs. "Look who's talking." Ken said annoyed, as he pulled himself up. "I mean, I would have thought that I would have had better style in the future. I'm still wearing almost the same stuff." He said, looking at his jeans and t-shirt with disdain. "You look fine Ken." Wormon said, placing a delicate foot on Ken's leg. "At least you look okay! What about me? My face looks like it went through a garbage disposal!" Yolei said sadly, looking in the mirror at her face, which looked completely the opposite of her description. "Oh Yolei, don't talk that way!" Hawkmon chided. Ken knelt down next to her and looked in the mirror behind her. "No you don't. You look great. I mean, heck, at least you don't have the beginnings of a beard." He said comfortingly. Yolei turned to Ken happily. "You think so?" She asked. "I think so." He said softly. "Okay, break it up, break it up. So lets log on what's happened to everybody." Davis said in a commanding tone of voice. "Well, I've grown quite a few feet and I look like Santa Claus. A very young Santa Claus." Izzy said sadly.
"I've gotten taller and my hair's longer. But the only thing is, I'm married." Kari said softly, twisting the gold band on her finger. Davis looked at her suspiciously. "To whom?" He asked. Kari smiled. "I got taller and I'm married, to Kari. Weird huh Davis?" T.K. said with a smile. Davis' face turned red and he quickly turned to Tai. "As far as I know, I'm taller and single. That's all I know." He said softly, looking at Sora and Matt. "I'm taller, and," Sora started. "I'm married I guess, to Matt." She said softly. Tai flinched and turned away. Sora touched his arm, but when he flinched, she removed her hand. Matt put his arm around Sora comfortingly. "Same here." Davis looked around at everyone. "Well, what's the matter Ken? What happened to you?" Ken shrugged. "I'm engaged to Ken Ichijouji!" Yolei burst out, holding up the diamond on her finger. The others gasped in amazement, and out of the respect congratulated her.
"I can't say that anything cataclysmic has happened to me. Besides the fact that I'm taller and my voice changed." The others looked at Cody. Armadillomon was looking at Cody strangely. Kari put her hand over her mouth to smother the laugh that was quickly rising in her throat. Since it was 2011, then Cody, the older Cody, would be nineteen. He looked more different than the rest. He was dressed in black. Black trench coat, black shirt and pants and a black choker encircled his neck. His hair was spiked in all different directions and tinged with blonde. "What?" Cody asked, as the others started to smirk. "You obviously didn't look in the mirror did you buddy?" Davis asked, handing him the mirror. Cody's eyes widened as he looked at his reflection. "Holy Crap! I look like I went Goth!" Davis fell over laughing as the others laughed aloud. "This isn't right!" Cody said in disbelief. "Don't worry Cody. It is so you." T.K. laughed. "Okay cut it out!" Cody said.
"Okay guys break it up. We have to figure out where we are and what's going on. But wait, where's Joe and Mimi?" Tai asked. The group looked around. The two weren't anywhere to be seen. "Oh no! They must have landed in an entirely different place than we did." Sora said. "That doesn't make sense Sora. But it is still a possibility. Lets try and scout out the area and keep an eye out for them.Why don't we go up to the apartment?" Tai asked, taking the leader stance. The others nodded and followed him as he walked up the ramp. He stopped at a particular door that had a sign on it that read, Kamiya. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. In a few moments the door was opened and Mrs. Kamiya stepped into view. "Why, Tai! What are you doing here?" She asked breathlessly. Tai stared at his mother in awe. She looked, old. Her brown hair was grayed and she seemed smaller than he had last seen her. "I, uh, came back for a visit." He stuttered. "You came all the way from America? Just to see me?" His mother asked, her brown eyes sparkling. America? I went to America? Holy cow. "Yeah, I did. And to meet with the others." He said as he motioned to the group behind him.
Mrs. Kamiya seemed to see them for the first time. "Oh! Hello! I didn't see you. Kari! Hello darling! Isn't it wonderful that Tai's home?" She asked, encircling Kari in a huge hug. "Yeah Mom. It's great. Mom this is gonna sound stupid, but why did Tai go to America again? I forgot." Mrs. Kamiya's eyes dimmed somewhat. "Well, it was something to do with that digimon thing. There was an argument for one reason or another. Tai left, and after you and T.K. were married, you moved down the hall." She said, indicating another door three doors down. "My word you've all grown! Matt, Sora. You look wonderful! How's the baby?" Matt started suddenly and Sora looked at him in surprise. "Great thanks." He said almost in a whisper. "Wonderful! Well, do you want to come in?" She asked. "Mom, we'd love to, but we kinda need to get going. But can I see Dad for a sec?" His mother's eyes darkened. "Oh sweetie, didn't you get my letters? Your father died last spring." Tai grasped the railing as he fell back against it. "You're kidding." He choked. She shook her head. "I'll see you later then?" Tai nodded. "Goodbye darlings! See you soon." She quietly closed the door.
She stared at the inscription before feeling her face and hair. Her hair was long, down to her shoulders. Instead of her normal clothes she was wearing a blue t-shirt and jeans. She finally got the courage to look at the others.
