"So

"So! Are YOU this new exchange student from Italy?" Rika asked.

Sam had just entered school when Rika had bounded in her way, "Um Yes?"

"So YOUR Sam! Takato said you got lost in town yesterday and Henry and him had to help you out." She prodded.

"Um Yes, that's true too" Sam scratched behind her head.

"So what were you talking about with them in that shabby part of town?"

"Well heh" She paused, "Like you said, I was lost, so they gave me directions heh heh"

"C'mon Sam! Class is going to start soon!" Takato said as he marched by.

"Gotta get to class uh,"

"Rika."

"Rika. Maybe I'll see you later?" Sam waved as she chased after Takato.

"Yeah, Later!" then she mumbled to herself, " 'cuz I know your secret Tamer"

Newborn cry in the morning air,

The past and the future are wedded there

In this wellsprings of my sons and daughters,

The bone and blood of living waters.

"Let's go Sam! Henry said he'd meet us at Guilmon's hideout pronto!" Takato was literally dancing on his toes.

"Let me finish putting my stuff away." Sam replied, a little impatiently.

"I really want to see Guilmon too, Sam!" Inseymon said from her spot in Sam's palm.

"Alright! Alright! I'm done, okay!?" Sam just about spat.

Takato led her into the lush green park. At the very back was a small brick building with a fence for a door. "Guilmon!" he called.

From inside, came a baby like voices " Takatomon?"

Sam laughed slightly as a peel of laughter came from the tiny Inseymon.

"It's TAKATO, you silly. I'm not a mon!" Takato unlocked the fence.

"TAKATO!!" Guilmon burst out and tackled his friend.

"Hey!" Takato giggled, "It's good to see you too, Guilmon! Can you get off me now, please?"

"Sure Takato." Guilmon promptly stood.

"Guilmon, I want you to meet a friend of mine." Takato stood.

"Oh?" Guilmon looked at Sam for the first time.

"This is Sam. She has a Digimon too."

"Hi!" Inseymon interrupted Sam and bounded out of her hand.

"Heh heh, yeah, I'm Sam and this is Inseymon." She patted Guilmon on the head. "Oh!" she jumped, "I just remembered! I brought some snacks for us. I know how Inseymon gets hungry after school." She dug in her bag and removed a grocery bag full of stuff.

"You bet I do!" Inseymon added.

Sam up-ended the bag and both Digimon began to feast.

"Hey! Leave some for me!" Terriermon ran up.

"Hey, Henry!" Takato turned to see his friend arrive.

"Hey, Takato. Hey, Sam." Henry walked up. Terriermon was already adding to the milieu of food and Digimon.

"Oh, and I brought us some munchies too." Sam brought out another bag of food. "These are some from where I'm from!" The majority of what was packed was pastries and a few cans of sodapop.

"Wow! These are good." Henry admitted after one bite.

There was a muffled "MmmHmm." agreement from Takato in the middle of a bite.
