Was this the real life? Was this just fantasy? We were caught in a landslide, no escape from Reality. (Sorry, Queen.) I thought I was hallucinating, that there was something in that coffee.but I could hardly believe I was watching Tai, Tai Kamiya slinking down the balcony with something.orange. That had to be Augumon.
"You have GOT to be kidding me." I murmured, "I didn't see that."
"You saw it."Seth said, "'cuz I saw it. That was Tai and Augumon, all right but.how, is what I want to know. How is it they're here."
"Seth, maybe we're there."
He blinked at me, "Say what?"
"Maybe WE are in Digimon! We have to be! There was that flash, and the sped-up time! Besides, if Tai and Augumon came to our world, they'd be acting a whole lot more confused and rather frightened than what we saw." I explained, matter-of-factly.
Seth slowly nodded, understanding. He quirked an eyebrow, "Why are you SMILING about it? This has got to be a total disaster! How do we get home?"
"Hey!" I said, glaring at him, "I came here to have myself a nice vacation in Tokyo! Just because we're in a different TYPE of Tokyo doesn't mean we can't still enjoy our vacation, right?"
My friend sighed. I was wearing him down. He knew I was right. I'm ALWAYS right. ^_^ Ok.maybe not, but still. He nodded again, "All right.as long as we're here, we might as well make the best of it. What do you want to do first?"
I pointed at Tai's retreating figure, "Follow Tai."
Seth's eyes nearly bugged out, "WHAT? WHY?"
I smirked, "There would be only one reason he would be taking Augumon out in disguise.to find the other DigiDestined. Something big is going down and I don't wanna miss it!"
Seth rubbed his forehead, "Well, all right.but this better not be a waste of time."
"Ah, c'mon.it'll be exciting!" I said, dashing ahead to keep a shadow on Tai.
"We're both gonna regret this.I know I will." Seth sighed, following me.
~*~
The two of us, cunning spies we are, successfully shadowed Tai and Augumon to a park, of which its name I cannot pronounce. As I had expected, that was what exactly what Tai was doing, going to meet the other DigiDestined and their own Digimon. Seth and I slipped behind two large trees. We weren't close enough to hear what exactly they were saying but all I knew was what I saw. The most of 'em piled address book after address book onto Joe's lap and left. I cursed myself silently, forgetting that this happened. I gestured to Seth and ducked behind my tree, "So, what do you think?" I whispered.
"I think we need to take our targets and go." He said in a US Army Drill Instructor fashion.
"Seth, do you have any idea when we are in the entire Digimon series?" I asked, serious.
"No.not exactly. All I know is that we're in Season 01, right?"
I nodded, "Yes.the Myotismon series."
Seth's eyes were wide, "Are you sure?"
"More than positive." I sighed, "This is exactly what happened."
Seth shook his head. I guess he didn't expect this. Well, then again, neither did I. At the time, I didn't know what was going to happen. We only had one chance - follow the ones who left and keep an eye on them.
"So, whom're you going after?" I whispered over to Seth. He seemed to be in a great deal of thought. Finally after a while, he spoke.
"I'll follow Sora and Mimi." He said and I could see a glimpse of a smile when he said that.
I quirked an eyebrow, grinning, "Is there.and ulterior motive for your doing this?"
"Erm.no."
"Right." I rolled my eyes, "Whatever you say."
"Uh.what about you?" Seth asked quickly, wisely changing the subject to avoid my suspicion.
I rubbed my chin, thinking. The only way to find the most action was to go to the main source. Myotismon would be trying to find the Eighth Child, Kari. What better way to find the action surrounding her than going to her brother, Tai? I smiled, "I think I'll stick to Taiora. Heh.once this whole 'Eighth Child' thing is unraveled, I'll be the first to get my hands on Gatomon."
Seth shrugged, "Fine. What do you have against Gatomon, anyway?"
I licked my lips nervously. I couldn't exactly explain it. I never could. It's just something about her that.erm.well, never mind that. I shook my head, "Never mind that. Go chase your women. I'll track down Tai."
"All right, then. Oh, yeah! Don't forget these!" With those words, Seth produced a pair of two-way radios. I took one and he did. He switched it on, as did I. He spoke into it, "We'll use these to communicate during our travels. It's the only safe way to contact each other during all this."
I grinned, "Smart move, Seth. You'd probably make a great commando. Let's stop procrastinating and get this done!"
Seth nodded and dashed one direction. I dashed after Tai. It was only later that I learned that Joe had heard the entire conversation.
