As he stepped out of the terminal, he realised just how good it was to be back. He was eighteen now, a few years had passed since he was last here, but he had been busy catching up with family and learning as much as he could about them. 'Now where do I go to pick up my car?' He thought to himself. Since finding out his parents were rich, he thought he would get things a little easier in life. He was wrong, but he didn't really want things easy either so it worked out for him. Shawn's parents had given him a car for his graduation, a beautiful Pontiac Grand Prix. The car he had his heart set on, but he also wanted a project car, since it turned out to be an enjoyable hobby for him. So his parents, against their better judgement, and after a lot of begging, got him a Ford Mustang GT that he customised. And right now, he had to find out where he had to pick it up. His parents let him take it to Japan so that he would be able to go around the city for the six months he would be staying there. But at that moment, he had to find his car for another, more important reason.

"Shawn, where do we go from here?" A young girl who had stolen Shawn's heart while in Canada asked. She was extremely beautiful, and incredibly smart and Shawn simply couldn't resist.

"Um, I don't know, but I know where we can find out." He said as they went to the courtesy desk to ask.

"Come on Tai! Hurry up!" Called a girl with red-orange hair who was waiting for her boyfriend at the bottom of the stairs of the building. "We're going to be late to meet everyone in the park. Hey, where's Kari?" Sora asked when he finally caught up to her.

"TK came by earlier to take her to lunch. And I also think it was to throw Davis off their trail. He still won't accept the fact that they love each other. And I still can't either." Tai, who was still being overprotective of his little sister was also glad that she hooked up with TK and not Davis. Davis was too much like himself, and he didn't want anyone like himself to get near his sister. Changing the subject he asked "So, is Mimi going to be there two?"

"Ya, she said she would be coming with some one." Sora was still trying to figure out who it could be though. "What about Matt?"

"He said he had to do something before he came, but I think he'll be there. After all Mimi is." Tai said knowing how Matt felt about her. "Come on we're already late." He said as he grabbed her hand and began to run to where the others where suppose to meet.

"Tai wait up!" Shouted a yellow, two-foot tall dinosaur that was being followed by a pink bird in the air.

"Sorry Agumon, I keep forgetting that you're here in the real world now." Tai apologised to his Digimon partner as the two humans slowed down so their friends could catch up.

"I can't wait to see everyone again!" Said Biyomon, who hadn't seen much of their friends since the final battle with Malomyotismon. That was just around the Christmas break and it was now summer and school was out. It was after that battle that TK and Kari realised their feelings for each other and when Sora realised that she had feelings for Tai and not Matt. Pretty much all of the Destined had realised who they were in love with, and during the battle learned that they should follow their hearts and their dreams, they all went after the ones they had their hearts on. This included Yolie and Ken, and the only exception was Matt and Mimi. Since Mimi lived in New York, Matt didn't try and pursue her any further as far as any other Destined knew.

As Tai and Sora got near the park, Tai started to get the feeling of being followed. He had felt this feeling before when he was in the Digital World many times before. Tai looked around, he didn't notice anything at first, but something caught his eye.

"Tai, what's wrong?" He heard Sora ask.

"I've got a feeling that someone or something is following us. And I could have sworn that I just saw a winged man on that roof-top us." Tai was uncertain what her reaction would be to this.

"You've got it too?" She looked at him with a puzzled look on her face. As it had been in Digiworld, whenever something bad or good was about to happen, the Destined always seemed to be able to sense it. "I haven't seen a winged man, but ever since we left the apartment, I've had this feeling, and every time I look around, I see the same car following us."

"Where?" Tai was starting to get worried now, the last time someone had describe this situation, he was kidnapped from his home and taken to Japan. As he was thinking, Sora glanced in the direction of the car. It was unlike anything he had seen before, well at least not on the streets in Odiaba anyway. He recognised it as a North American car, 'very popular for teenagers' as he remembered reading about it. Apart from not being from Japan, the plates that were on it were in English, not something commonly seen around anywhere.

"I hope they don't spot us." Said Shawn. He was following two people he had seen leaving Tai's building. He wouldn't have thought anything of it, except for when he saw the two Digimon chasing after them.

"Shawn, who are you talking about?" Katie asked. She knew he had known some people in Japan, but was never told the reason.

"Those two with two Digimon following…" Shawn realised what he had just said. In all the time that he had known, Katie, he had never mentioned the Digimon to her. And as far as she knew, Goyomon was just distant family. Sure, he acted like he was from another world, but that was okay, because so did Shawn. And the fact that he could hide his wings when he wanted just made things easier for him.

"Digimon?" She asked.

"I'll explain later, come on we have to follow them." Shawn noticed that they were looking around. he turned his attention to his radio. "Oh, well, if we're going to follow them, lets do it in style." He said as he put in his Crush CD by Bon Jovi. The light changed colour, and he started to drive to the park, he would wait for them there. The song started to play, and all that could be heard was the first song Its My Life.

"Hey! What took you two so long?" A girl with brown hair wearing yellow shorts and a pink and white shirt asked.

"Hey Kari, we were waiting for Tai…" Sora began.

"Ah, say no more. I know exactly what you mean." She responded looking at her borther. She knew it would annoy Tai, but really didn't care.

"Ya, but it wasn't only that." Tai then noticed that not everyone was there yet. We'll tell you when everyone gets hear. Fifteen minutes later the only two people being waited for was Matt and Mimi. Tai began to wonder where his best human friend could be. Then he noticed something, and this time it made him smile, as he looked onwards, the others followed his site, then they too, smiled. Walking down the path was Matt and Mimi, hand in hand and kissing. They hadn't even realised that they had arrived until Tai cleared his throat.

"Ah hem, do you plan on sharing what's happened with you two?" Tai asked. They broke their kiss and began to blush.

"Um, well Mimi is moving back to Japan, so we thought we'd get an early start with things." Matt replied.

"Oh. We'll before we start to reminisce, I think you should know about a strange feeling we both got earlier." Tai began. "It just happens to be the same one I've had since we got here. And for some reason, this feeling seems to get stronger when I look at that car." He glanced in the direction of the Mustang. Everyone else took a look, but the car was empty.

As he approached the group of teenagers, he noticed a few other kids he hadn't seen before. 'The group got bigger' he thought to himself. Everyone was looking at his car with a look of concern on their faces. 'I wonder if any of them will remember me, after all it's been quite a while.' As he continued towards the group, Katie was silently walking beside him.

'What's he up to?' She thought to herself. 'Maybe he knows these people' was the only thought that she could come up with.

Shawn stepped up right behind the kid with messy brown hair. 'Looks just like Tai' as he noticed the Digimon, he then knew he was right. So in Japanese, he simply said "Having a reunion without me? Tai I'm hurt."

Tai practically fell over when hearing the voice. It seemed so familiar, but it was so long ago that he heard it. The only word that left his mouth before two arms came around him was "Shawn?"

All the others simply stared. The new kids had no idea what was going on, but all of the original Destined, with the exception of TK and Kari, who were shocked by the actions of this stranger that they didn't recognise, were all shocked to see their old friend.

"Shawn, you can put me down." Tai finally got out after several seconds of being squeezed.

The next person Shawn looked at was the young girl with the camera around her neck. A flood of memories hit them both and all she could do was jump into his arms, crying because she was so happy to see her oldest brother.

"Kari, it's nice to see you too. I said I would come back, and well here I am." Looking at his sister. She had grown so much in the time he hadn't been there. During to reunion of Kamyia's and their brother, Davis was waiting impatiently for an explanation as to why Kari was hugging and kissing this stranger, and turned him down every time he asked her out. He then noticed TK's reaction of shock and then a sudden calmness that was shown through a grin across his face.

'If TE isn't going to stand up for Kari, I guess I will. Then she'll see that I care more about her then he does.' Davis thought his plan was brilliant, and started… "HEY, YOU," before anybody could stop him, "get your hands off of my girl." He said smugly as the original Digidestined's expressions turned from joy to panic and worry. They may have only known him for a short time when they were younger, but the one thing they all clearly remember was how protective he was of Tai and Kari. They also knew that whenever someone talked like they owned his sister, he always taught them a lesson they'd never forget. And they all knew how Davis talked about Kari.

He dropped Kari and slowly turned to the young boy who had made the empty threat. "I'm sorry, what did you say?" Shawn's look starting to grow anger.

"You heard me! Let go of my girl." Davis shouted again.

Shawn turned to Kari to see what her reaction would be, and to see if what he said was true. Her words were music to his ears.

"Davis, how many times do I have to tell you, I DON'T LIKE YOU IN THAT WAY! ONLY AS A FRIEND, NOTHING MORE!" Kari retaliated. "Besides, I can't be your girlfriend if I'm with TK." TK began to blush as she said that, and then became a little worried that whatever Shawn was about to do to Davis might happen to him.

'So, Kari and TK. I always hoped they would get together.' Shawn thought happily, he then returned his attention to Davis. "Now listen kid, I'm only going to say this once, Kari belongs to nobody. And the next time I hear something like that I'm going to make you regret saying anything." Shawn added. He really didn't want to hurt anyone, he had grown out of that, but he wasn't about to let this particular old habit die so easily.

"And what makes you so protective of my girl? Is she like your sister or something?" Davis asked. He was trying be smart about his answer, and thought he had the older teen cornered. He also had his eye on TK. 'I'll deal with him later.'

"Actually, yes. I am Kari's brother. And I warned you not to talk possessively about her." Shawn said as he slowly walked towards Davis.

Davis just stood there dumbfounded, he wasn't expecting that as an answer, and didn't even notice when the nearly six foot tall teen picked him up by the collar. The next voice he heard was the best thing that could have happened to him at this point. "Shawn, put him down, he's not worth it, besides, you don't want to make a bad first impression do you?" Davis was relieved to hear Tai's voice get through to this guy.

"I'm sorry, old habits die hard. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Shawn Norco, or if you prefer Shawn Kamyia, Tai and Kari's older brother." The new destined couldn't believe what was going on. No one had ever told them about this guy.

Cody was the first to speak, "It is nice to meet you Shawn, my name is Cody. This is Ken and Yolie, and the person you nearly beat up is Davis."

"Nice to meet you Cody, Yolie, and Davis. Sorry about what just happened, I'm still a little overprotective of my sister. Oh, I almost forgot, I'd like you all to meet my girlfriend Katie." He indicated to her.

She hadn't understood a word they had said, but realised that the conversation had turned to her. She said the only Japanese word she knew how to say, "Ken-i-chi-wa." She had a little trouble pronouncing the word, but everyone understood her.

"Um, the only problem is she doesn't speak any Japanese, only French and English." Shawn explained to them.

Tai and Kari were interested in hearing all about Shawn's life in Canada, but it could wait until tonight. The only thing that was on the minds of all of the Digidestined was the reunion that they were having.

After a few hours of talking the group all agreed to meet at Tai and Kari's place for the next part of the reunion in the morning. Tai and Kari said their goodbyes to Sora and TK and started to walk home.

"Where do you think your going?" Shawn asked. He would have walked, but his car was there and he didn't want to leave it there all night.

"We're, going home, why?" Tai asked. He saw Shawn head towards the parking lot in the park. "Shawn, you're going the wrong way to our house."

"I know, but I don't want to leave my car here all night." The words didn't even leave his mouth as Tai and Kari looked at each other and then at Shawn and in unison shouted,

"Car?"

"Yes. Would you like a ride to your house?" He asked as they ran as fast as they could to see which one was his. He walked up to the Mustang and Tai started laughing. "What's so funny?" Shawn asked in confusion.

"Well, earlier Sora and me thought that we were being followed by that car. And it turns out it was you." Tai was calming down as he got in the car. Kari followed him in and so did Goyomon. Shawn and Katie got in and Shawn started to drive away. "Shawn?"

"Yes Tai?"

"It's nice to see you again."

"Same here Tai. I'm glad to be back." As he drove away, he was remembering his promise to come back. He had kept it. And he was going to make sure he enjoyed coming back for the next six months.
