Disclaimer: Digimon may be mine as a favorite TV show, but it ain't mine as to creation although the character Samantha Serinatta and her whole set of Digimon and it's evolutions are mine God am I proud of them! I worked soooo hard! Also, the song I have entered in here as a lesson is written by some one ELSE! Umm I think it's (checks pamphlet with CD) John McCutcheon/Appalsongs (ASCAP)? Oh well, you get the idea.

Author's notes: I'm starting this when I have only seen the second episode of the new season. I am making MANY assumptions. Such as Takato and Henry become friends, and Rika prefers to stay as an acquaintance. So, try to take this leap into the unknown with me, eh?

"Whoa! Hey Takato! Did you see this new Digimon and it's trainer?" Henry called out.

"What do you mean Henry?" Takato was sitting inside one of the playground dinos again when a winded Henry popped his head in.

"There's some girl with this horse-like Digimon at her side! She fights like I've never seen! Like in the cards, she fights in the old ways!"

"Wow! Are you telling me the truth? Someone with a Digimon in the OLD style? Wow! This is sooo cool! What's she look like?" He asked.

"She okay so I didn't see her, I just heard her voice. But still, I SAW the Digimon!"

"Where was it!?"

"I saw 'em practicing in a back ally way deep into town. The reason I went back there was I saw a sign at the top of a tower demolished by something that came from the ground somewhere. I even heard an echo of what may have been the attack it was something like Spinning Horn attack or something."

Outside the dino Rika was listening. 'A Digimon that was like the old ways? What was going on?' she thought. She decided she would investigate the area later, school was going to start.

"Well class, we have a new student from Italy here, her name is Samantha Serinatta. Will you please come to the front of the class and tell us about yourself?" Takato's teacher said.

A girl with long brown hair sitting in the back of the classroom stepped forward. She was different in her style of clothing. She wore a blue tie-dye t-shirt, cargo khaki pants, and a strange pendant that seemed to change color was dangling on a long chain. It was a silvery white at the moment. "Hello, I am Sam Serrinatta, as our teacher here has said," she sounded a little shy. "I came from Italy as an exchange student um I like the animation from here anime um I like to play Digimon cards um"

There was a long pause, "You don't need to continue if you don't want to" the teacher told her.

"Uh yeah, thank you for inviting me into your class." She bowed slightly before she took her seat once again.

After class, Takato couldn't help but notice Sam pulling out a small fuzzy stuffed animal from her bag. She seemed to like it, putting it up to her face and all.

"What you got there?" he asked her.

"Um" the pendant that had settled down to a lime green during class was now at a brighter white than it was before. "It's my stuffed animal. Just because I talk to it doesn't mean I'm loony, okay!" the pendant was getting slightly orange.

"Look, I don't think your loony okay? I just wanted to know what kind of stuffed animal it was, that's all. Honest!" Takato didn't like to make people angry, especially for the wrong reasons.

"It's just a well" she paused as the orange faded away. "Um It's a Digimon stuffed animal. Nothing big about it."

"Which Digimon?" he asked.

"it's Inseymon, a favorite of mine." Her pendant was turning slightly pink as she looked at it.

"I've never heard of that one before of course most people have never heard of my favorite before either, Guilmon so I guess yours is kinda like mine."

"Heh well, I better get going, my 'temporary' parents think it's best for me to get home right away." She shoved her stuffed animal into the pouch full of cloth it had come out of. "Bye uh"

"Takato."

"Bye Takato, I'll see you tomorrow." She said and got up to leave.

"Tomorrow's Saturday!" he commented.

"Oh right! Then Monday then. Bye!" she ran out.

From the rope at the white oak tree.

"Hey, Henry! Did you see that strange Digimon again!?" Takato shouted down the sidewalk.

"No, I was going to wait till you could come with me. You got a spare moment?" he asked as he stopped to let his friend catch up.

"Alright! I most definetly got a spare moment! That moment is right now!" he was excited.

"Okay, I'l bring you to the place where I saw them, but I don't know if they're there"

"We can wait for em can't we?" he asked.

"I suppose so" Henry answered, "Let's get going." They headded off down the street. They went through alleys, gutters, and some places they probly best forget before they got close. "shhh thake it slow and quiet from here" Henry whispered. He received a nodd from Takato, assuring his silence. They slowly snuck up to an open area no bigger than eighteen meters (approx. fifty feet) across. "Whoa"

They walked out, "This place is decked out too bad no one's here Look at all these targets and do I see an obstical course?"

"I think so" Henry commented.

Takato picked up a bullseye and looked at it, "I suppose she trains here or sonething?"

"You had better put that back in the exact same place you found it! She might notice!"

"Yeah, don't worry"

A figure was sneeking along a wall out of the two boys' sight. A cordiroy sleeve can bee seen from the light as the shape of a face graced with glasses leans to listen to the converstaion; a frown oulined upon it and curly brown hair sitting on the shoulder. A hand pressed firmly to the cement. A device dangling from a bracelet around the wrist.

"Do you think she's as good as Rika thinks she is?" Takato asked.

"I don't know, I didn't stay long for fear of being caught It IS possible" Henry answered.

The figure quietly growled, and quickly turned to leave, a flash of a dark red pendant is seen before the figure dissappears completely.
