"Where Where'd they go

"Where Where'd they go?" Rika asked in astonishment to the empty space before her.

Renamon began to wake up, "What happened? Did we win?" Renamon whispered.

"No. We did not." Rika stated a little fiercely.

"I I am sorry, Rika" Renamon looked around, "Where did they go?"

Rika turned around to look at her Digimon, "That's what I want to know." Renamon got up and stood by her Tamer, looking around.

"We're back" she said sullenly.

"We are But but how, Sam?" Inseymon was cradled in her arms still.

"That presence That watching presence caught us. That is why." Sam was slightly angry, and her pendant shown in a reddish hue.

"So We can't go back to your home?" Inseymon caught on.

"That is correct" Sam was getting even angrier.

Inseymon also caught wind of Sam's anger; "We'll get back there and show 'em! I know we will!"

"Huh?" Sam was startled out of her angry state at Inseymon's words. The words sunk in, and determination took over, "Yeah, we'll get back there and we'll find 'em and then they'll tell us what they thought they were doing! You're right, Inseymon We'll get back there!"

"Rika! What happened to Sam!?" Henry, Takato, Terriermon and Guilmon all ran up.

"I I don't know" she trailed, then looked at them and her mood changed, "As far as I'm concerned, that was a victory to me so I don't care what happened." She turned to Renamon, "Renamon: Lets go."

"Hey you just can't up and leave! We know Sam was right here with you! We over heard you! Something happened! You HAVE to tell us!" Takato became angry.

Rika turned, "Look, They just disappeared, OKAY!? I don't know where they went! And don't think of blaming me for their disappearance either!" Rika was angry, and promptly left.

"Do you think she went to the Digital World?" Takato pondered aloud, looking up into the sky.

"I don't know, Takato" Henry answered.

"Aw!" he pouted, "Why couldn't she take us with her? I've always wanted to see the Digital World!"

"I don't know how to say this, but" Henry looked over at Takato and waited for his friend to give him his full attention, "But I think she'll be okay there I really do believe that you may be right that she's in the Digital World But she's been there before right? And for a long time at that I I really think she's just fine."

"Yeah" Takato pondered, "She would be just fine wouldn't she?"

Rika went home and sat at her table, sorting her Digimon cards.

"Rika, what happened?" Renamon softly prodded.

"Just like I said, Renamon She disappeared after telling me" She went quiet.

"What did she tell you?" Renamon could tell it was important.

"She told me that if I did practice like she had done that we we would become even more powerful than her and her Digimon were" Renamon stayed silent. After a long moment, Rika turned to her Digimon, "Let's go Renamon, We've got some practicing to do!"
