Note from Digimon Cager: Sorry I took so long getting the chapter. I have neglected this fic too long and now it's time to pic up the dusty paper and pen(well, you know, mouse and keyboard) and continue. I was just suffering from a mild(maybe a little more than mild) case of writer's block for this story, but that's over now and I plan to keep this story going until the end.

Chapter 3: Micheal's Mistake

Palmon's P.O.V:

I tried to look and act like Mimi would but for some reason, I felt so alone, even with her friends crowding me at school. It was hard to consentrate on what people were asking me and most of the time, I didn't even know the true answers so I mostly made them up, but now, I still look back but I cannot remember even the questions asked of me.
I kept in the back of the classes and didn't speak unless I was spoken to directly. I felt so alone... At least it's all over.
I'm walking home now, trying to remember the lessons so I can get Mimi to help but I stop when I hear a familiar voice sommoning me.
"Mimi... are you all right?" asked the voice behind me. I turned around and saw Micheal looking at me with a concerned look on his face.
"Micheal, I want to tell you the truth. Please, can you come to my house for a while so we can talk?" I ask and feel relieved when he nodds. I think he expected me to talk right then but he didn't provoke me.
We got to Mimi's house we went directly to her room. I threw the book bag on the bed and locked the door.
"Micheal? You're here!" cried Mimi jumping out from inside the closet and into his arms.
"Palmon! Why are you here?" asked Micheal.
"Um... well, it's a long story." I reply, "You see, when Mimi went to the Digital World a few days ago to have lunch with the other Digidestined and something terrible happened."
"What do you mean?"
"Well," said Mimi climbing onto the bed, "We ran into a Digimon called Midnightmon and he...he... he made me and the other Digidestined switch bodies with our Digimon!"
"What!?" exclaimed Micheal with a look of unbelife on his face.
"It's true! I'm really Palmon and that's Mimi." I say pointing towards Mimi in my little plant body.
"But... but that's impossible!" yelled Micheal, "No Digimon has that kind of power!"
"Midnightmon does..." wispered Mimi sadly, "When I woke up, I thought it was just a dream and then, when I realized it was real, I thought it'd be fun to be a Digimon for a while but... I want to be human again...."
"Don't you believe us, Micheal?" I ask hopefully. He looks at me for a second, then to Mimi and then stares back into my eyes. Finally, after many minutes of silence, he wispers his answer.
"...yes. I do believe you."
"Oh, thank goodness!" cries Mimi throwing her arms around Micheal.
"How are you going to turn back?" asked Micheal holding Mimi.
"We... well, we don't know yet... but I'm sure theres a way!" says Mimi confidently.
"Maybe I can find out what it is." said Micheal pulling out his Digivice and walking over to Mimi's computer, "I'll go to the Digital World and see if we can find anything out."
"Be careful, Micheal." I call out as he logs onto the internet. We don't say anything more as he is sucked into the Digital World... I just hope he'll be okay...

Betamon's P.O.V:

"Micheal! I'm so happy to see you!" I cry jumping up into his arms. He smiles at me but his face quickly turns serious as he looks into my eyes.
"Listen, Betamon, something happened to the other Digidestined and the Digimon. We need to find out a way to fix it." he says.
"What happened?" I ask looking up at him as he sets me back down onto the ground. He quickly explaines to me the seriousness of the situation as we walk along the beach of the Digital World where I usually lounge about all day and play. After he tells me all that he knows the first thing that pops into my head is out my mouth, "How about we go see Gennai?"
"Gennai? Oh, yes. Mimi told me about him once but I forgot where she said he lived." said Micheal as we continue walking. It's getting pretty late....
"Well, he used to live here, on the continent of Server but he moved to File island a year or so back." I reply remembering all the gossip I'd heard from the Dolphmon.
"Isn't that a bit far?" asked Micheal stopping and looking out into the sea.
"Yes but I'm sure I could carry you over to it but, of course, it'll take a while." I say taking a few steps into the salty ocean water.
"Go ahead and Digivolve, then we'll be on our way." said Micheal pulling out his Digivice. I take a deep breath and plunge into the waters, "Betamon digivolve to... SEADRAMON!"
"Climb aboard, Micheal." I say holding out my tail for him to step up on. He climbs from my tail to my back and all the way up to my neck where he can sit and still keep dry, "Make sure you hold on! I want to get their as soon as I possibly can."

"How much farther do we need to go?" complains Micheal like an impatient child, "We've been out here for nearly 5 hours and I would like to get home before 10 so my parents don't worry!"
"Hey! You should be thankful I'm at least a little faster than a Whamon! It takes them about 4 days usually!" I shout back, feeling a little insulted. Micheal groaned a little but said nothing else for a while.
"...Hey! It's starting to rain!" said Micheal as he held out his hand and caught a few raindrops, "I hope it won't storm."
"Oh, I'm sure it'll be fine. It's nearly cloudless, see?" I say lifting up my head to look at the sky. It wasn't extreamly cloudy but there was a lot more clouds then there was a few minutes ago....
I try not to let the rain get to me but it seems to gradually get worse and worse!
"Are you sure it won't storm?" asks Micheal as he watches a large wind-provoked wave nearly soak his feet.
"I... I'm pretty sure..." I say getting a little scared. Suddenly, a large clap of thunder boomed through the air sending a shiver down my spine.
"Are you sure we'll be al-whoa!" yelled Micheal as he fell off me and into the wild sea. I turn my head to see what knocked him off of me when a MegaSeadramon jumped out of the water and began to attack me! I didn't have time to react but the next thing I knew, I was spining back to my rookie form and freezing cold from MegaSeadramon's Mega Ice Blast!
When I stoped spining, I saw that Micheal was wraped in MegaSeadramon's tail and it looked like he was running out of air! I needed to get him to the surface. Fast! I swam quickly over to MegaSeadramon and bit hard into it's tail, making it shreek in pain and uncoil it's tail from Micheal, giving me plenty of time to push him up to the surface.
When we got up to the surface, the storm had gotten worse! It was a hurricane! Giant twisters of water and darkness loomed above us and in the middle of the darkest spiral was a pair of blood red eyes!
"ANOTHER RUTHLESS DIGIDESTINED WITH HIS SERVANT DIGIMON! HE SHALL PAY FOR HIS UNJUSTICE!" bellowed a loud voice that drowned out the sound of the thunder. Then, at the moment the voice's echos died out, MegaSeadramon appeared again. He gave a big swat with his tail and hit Micheal right in the middle! I could see the pain and force of the attack in Micheal's eyes and by the way he was thrown up out of the water and into one of the twisters.
I felt so helpless then. I couldn't do anything to save him! I had lost my Digidestined! I snaped out of my sad thoughts when I saw MegaSeadramon coming to me with his tail held up high. It came down and around with a mighty smack on my underbelly and I shot up into one of the other twisters.
I'm not sure exactly what happened then, all I remember is the red staring into mine, my head throbing, and then blackness....
To be continued...
