Hey everybody, I'm back again. Thanks for the reviews Girl-Chama! No, I won't be killing Sora off, I might hurt her a little bit(Hehehe), but she won't die. I have plans for her. And about Rei and Tai ending up together. It's a possibility, but someone else is going to enter Rei's life real soon. Who could it be? Anyways, this chapter is called 'Say It Isn't So' and will be all about the Senshi getting prepared for their first time in the Digi-World. Enjoy!

Tai walked into the darkened room, stumbling over what he assumed to be discarded clothes. Making his way to the nearest bed he sat on the edge and looked at it's occupant. 'She looks so peaceful' he thought, bushing a few stray hairs out of her face. 'I don't want to wake her'. With a reluctant sigh, he gently began to shake her awake. "Rei." he called out. "Rei, wake up." Rei stirred, but instead of waking up, she threw out her arm and grabbed Tai, pulling him down. Tai froze. His head was on her pillow and they were face to face. The arm she had used to grab him was now resting limply across him. 'Can't let her wake up now' Tai told himself. Slowly, he reached out his hand and gently moved Rei's arm. He was free from her embrace, but he continued to lay next to her. 'I wish I could stay like this.' Rei shifted again and her eyes began to flutter open. Tai jumped up and stood next to her bed. Rei's eyes, now opened and focused, traveled around the room until they stopped on Tai. "Good morning." he said.

Rei rubbed her eyes and said "What time is it?"

Tai laughed. " 7:30."

Rei looked at him, sleep still evident in her voice. "What are you doing in my room at 7:30 in the morning?"

Tai blushed a little. "Well," he began, "We're all going to the Digi-World, and since you say you're here to help, we thought you might want to come with us."

Rei sat up. "Of course we want to come." she told him.

"Okay." Tai said. "Wake Leta up and meet us downstairs in twenty minutes." With that her turned and walked out of the room.

Rei threw of her covers and swung her legs to the side of the bed. She turned, picked up one of her pillows and sent it flying across the room. It hit it's target and Leta jumped out of bed. Looking around the room, her eyes fell upon her laughing friend. "Oh, you think that's funny do you?" Leta asked her. "Well how funny is this?" Leta picked the pillow back up and threw it at Rei.

Rei caught it in mid-air, suddenly serious. "C'mon," She told her friend, "we have to get up."

Leta sat up in bed, confusion written on her face. "Why do we have to get up?" she asked, yawning.

"Because we're going to the Digital World."

Thinking it was a joke, Leta began laughing, but when she saw the expression on Rei's face she stopped. "They're really gonna let us go?" she said in disbelief. "I know they said we were partners, but I didn't think they'd let us go in this soon." She stopped for a moment. "I'm a little nervous."

"What do you have to worry about." Rei smiled. "Matt will protect you!" Leta blushed. "We'd better hurry, wouldn't want them to leave without us."

Rei got up and walked to the closet and pulled the doors open. "Rei?" Leta asked hesitantly, "Is everyone going?"

"Yes, Sora will be there," Rei told her friend, "you can't avoid her forever."

"Yeah, yeah, I know." Leta said, "I was just hoping I wouldn't have to deal with her so soon." Leta looked through the clothes in the closet. "Good thing Mimi is letting us borrow her clothes. I'd hate to have to face Sora in dirty ones.

Ten minutes later the Senshi walked down stairs and met everyone in the living room. When they came in Sora got up from the couch and walked over to stand by Matt. Leta blushed and looked down at the floor. Rei, sensing the tension in the room, walked over to where Tai was sitting and flopped down on the couch. "Good morning, O' fearless leader." she said with a smile.

"Now is not the time for jokes Rei." Sora scolded. "Can't you ever be serious?"

"Can't you ever be nice?" Rei retorted

"C'mon you two," Tai said, "now is not the time for this." Rei and Sora were both quiet. "We need to find the Kaizer's fortress. If we knew where he was coming from we might be able to fight him better."

"We would also be able to try and infiltrate his hideout and try to destroy him that way" Matt put in.

"But where would we start?" Mimi questioned. "Every time we fight it's on his terms. He always finds us."

"Exactly." Matt said. "If we could find him first, catch him by surprise, then we might be able to do some damage."

"Have you guys ever tried to find him outside the Digi-World?" Rei asked.

"What?" Sora asked.

"You know, look for him outside of the Digi-World." The entire room was quiet and everyone looked at her, confusion floating in the air. "Well, he's a human, right?" Tai nodded. "So he obviously lives here, in the real world, just like us. So why wouldn't we be able to find him here?"

"Right." Sora said contemptuously. "Like that would ever work."

"Actually," Matt countered, "It's a good idea." Sora glared at him. "It makes a lot of sense to look for him here, where he doesn't have the Digimon to protect him."

"Wait a sec," Leta said. "I thought you said that the Digimon could be brought into this world?"

"I did." Tai answered.

"Well, then wouldn't his be here too?"

Matt laughed. "Yeah, but all he has is Wormmon, and even in his champion form he is pretty easy for us to beat."

"You seem pretty sure of yourselves." Rei said.

"Don't let him fool you," Tai told Rei, "Wormmon could be a challenging opponent, but he doesn't seem like he wants to fight." Rei and Leta both turned curious eyes towards him. "Wormmon does what the Kaizer tells him, but his heart isn't in it."

Everyone was quiet, each thinking about the day to come. Tai got up and motioned for everyone to follow him. When they finally stopped they were in a room on the top floor. It was completely empty, except for a computer. "Joe, Izzy and T.K. are already in the Digi-World with our Digimon. They're just waiting for us." He turned to face Rei and Leta. "When ever you two are ready."

"Wait!" Sora screeched. "They're coming with us?"

"Of course they are." Tai told her. "Did you miss the discussion we had two days ago. You know, the one about them being our partners."

Sora looked around and then finally stopped on Leta and Rei. "Why do you two even want to come." she questioned. "You don't have Digimon so your going to be useless and in the way."

"Calm down, Sora." Matt said.

"I will not!" she cried, stamping her foot. "I don't see why they have to come."

"What's with you Sora?" Tai asked. "Of course they have Digimon." Sora glared at him. "They have Digi-Vices, so that means they have Digimon."

"C'mon, Sora." Mimi interjected. "Stop fighting." But Sora ignored her.

"Then where are they?" Sora asked. "Our Digimon found us the first time we ever entered the Digi-World, so why didn't theirs?"

"Maybe because the Kaizer already has them. Maybe because the Digi-World is on such turmoil they couldn't sense their presence." Matt said. "Who knows, but just because they haven't met yet doesn't mean we should keep them out of the Digi-world."

"We don't really need Digimon." Leta said.

"We need all the help we can get, and if they can enter the Digi-World we could probably use their help!" Tai said.

"I don't think they were listening." Rei told Leta.

"There seems to be a lot of that going on." Mimi said

.

"Let me get their attention." Rei cleared her throat and yelled. "EXCUSE ME! LETA HAS SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU!"

Tai, Matt and Sora all turned to face Rei, who in turn, faced Leta. "I said, Rei and I don't need Digimon. We have something else." Everyone looked confused. "Let me show you." Leta separated herself from the group. Throwing her right hand into the air, she called out "JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!"

Nothing happened.

Leta froze. 'What happened' she thought to herself. "Let me try that again." She told everyone. Raising her hand into the air she cried out. "JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!" Once again, nothing happened.

Rei rushed over to her. "What happened? She asked.

"I don't know." Leta said, on the verge of tears.

Rei gave her a comforting smile. "Let me try." She told her. Mimicking the actions of her friend, Rei threw her hand into the air and yelled "MARS CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!" And just like with Leta, nothing happened. "I don't understand." Rei said. "Why would Pluto send us here without our powers."

"Powers?" Sora said sarcastically.

"Who's Pluto?" Mimi asked.

"What?" Leta questioned.

"Rei just asked why Pluto would send you here without powers." Tai Told her. "Mimi asked who Pluto was?"

Rei looked at the Digi-Destined. "Oh..." she faltered, not meaning to mention Pluto's name. "Pluto's our-"

"Our cat." Leta said quickly, interrupting Rei. "Pluto's our cat."

"Your cat." Matt repeated.

"Yes." Leta said, plastering a fake smile on her face. "Our cat."

"Your think your cat gives you super powers?" Sora laughed.

"No," Rei said nervously, looking for a way out of their present situation. "But no one's fighting any more are they?"

Matt, Tai and Mimi all started laughing. "Cat's giving super powers!" Tai laughed. "That's a good one!"

Rei and Leta both nodded, pretending to be amused. Sora stared at them. "I don't think that's very funny." she told them.

"No, you wouldn't." Rei said.

Sora rolled her eyes and went over to stand by Matt. With all of the Digi-Destined engrossed in their own conversation, Rei turned to Leta and asked "What's going on?"

Leta looked at her friend, a lost look in her eyes. " I don't know, but you'd think that Pluto would at least warn us that we were defenseless before we threw ourselves into a battle."

"Especially against an enemy that's as dangerous as this Kaizer." Rei added. "So what do we do?"

"I don't know," Leta said, "But that was close, you almost told them about Pluto."

"Since we were going to transform in front of them I didn't think it would be a problem." Rei defended herself.

"I know," Leta told her, "But we couldn't transform. If we tried to tell them we had super powers and then couldn't prove it they might have though we were crazy-"

"And not let us help." Rei said, finishing her friends sentence. Leta nodded. " I guess this means we have to find our Digimon to be any help." Leta nodded again. "And then we try to contact Pluto as fast as we can."

"Now we're thinking the same." Leta smiled.

Tai walked over to the girls. "Are you two ready?" He asked. They both nodded. "Okay," He told everyone. "On the count of three, we enter the Digital World." He waited until everyone motioned that they were ready. "One. Two. Three."

As Rei and Leta pushed their buttons they once again saw the world around them fade to blue, then nothing.

Argh! I had a really bad case of writers block! Sorry if this chapter is a little confusing. There's a battle in the next one so it might be worse. Hehehe. What's this! The scouts have no powers? And now we know what Tai meant when he said to Matt "We have it bad" Tai likes Rei! But does Rei like Tai? And will Sora ever stop being mean to the Scouts?

Stay tuned for chapter 6 : Enter the Kaizer
