Draco just blinked.
"You're kidding, right?"
I grinned, showing a few small but sharp teeth.
"Does this sound like Renamon's voice?"
"Uh...."
I lifted up my Ocarina necklace I always wore.
"I guess that is you..... WOW!" She jumped up in the air, "WOW! it really is you Ruby!" She clapped her hands excitedly.
"Is Elecmon okay?" I bent over him, who was laying at Draco's feet.
He smiled, "I'm fine now... Thanks Ruby."
"Like I said, no one hurts my friends and gets away with it." I winked.
Draco bent down and lifted Elecmon into her arms, and hugged him. "I'm glad you're okay."
Elecmon only responded by snuggling up into her arms.
"I wonder if I can change back..." I looked at my arms thoughtfully. I quirked my head at Draco, "Although I don't know if I really want to."
"yeah. That's so cool! I can't believe you can actually turn into Renamon!"
"Neither can I..." I stared at my arms some more. "Well, I might as well give it a try."
I focused my thoughts on myself. On being a human again. Nothing happened.
"Oh come on."
I thought harder. I pictured myself as detailed as I could. Long blonde hair, blue eyes, Tall, even the clothes I was wearing. A few seconds later, the change that had happened before, sort of reversed. My face shrunk, My fingers split back to five. I heard a vague sucking sound as my tail disappeared, and my legs re-arranged themselves. The purple gloves on my arms turned blue as my shirt re-materialized. My fur and mane melted, and I was suddenly myself again.
I couldn't see. All I could see was blurry shapes.
"I can't..... Wait a second. Where are my glasses?" I looked around frantically for them. I spotted them near my bag.
"There they are," I bent down and picked them up. "They probably fell of during my first change. I don't think these would fit very well a Renamons head."
Draco giggled, "Nope. That'd look pretty weird too. And Renamons probably have good enough eyesight not to need them anyways."
"Good point," I tossed my bag over my back, "Wanna walk somewhere?"
"Sure!" She let Elecmon onto the ground, and started to walk down her driveway.
"Uhh.. Draco, don't you wanna tell someone where we're going?"
"No one's home. Oh, Wait, I gotta set the alarm." I watched her walk back to her house.
"Then why were you yelling 'I'll get it! I'll get it!' earlier?"
"Uhh....." She returned from closing up her house, "Uhh.... let's go!"
She didn't awnser my question and ran to the edge of her driveway. She turned to look at me, waved, and started to run.
"Hey!" I took off after her, finding that I felt faster then I had before. I mean, compared to Renamon, I was a snail, but as a human I felt much faster.

The next morning, I woke up groggily for school. I groaned and slammed off my alarm clock.
"Shooosh" I told it. I sighed again and laid back down. Next thing I know, I'm hitting my alarm clock again. "I said shooooooosh!" I told it in a whiny voice. This time I switched it off.
Within 20 minutes I was out the door, slowly walking to the spot my friend picked me up every morning. I was NOT looking forward to school that day. I had Math class first block. It wasn't too bad, my friend Marla was in my class, but I still disliked Math. Once at school, I sat in the multipurpose room and rested my head against the wall while my friends went on discussing cute guys.
I wasn't really interested in the subject. There was only one guy I was interested in, although it always seemed like he didn't know I existed. I smiled to myself as my thought shifted to my battle the day before. I was still amazed that I was able to become Renamon.
I jumped as the bell startled me out of my thoughts. I shook my head, and grabbed my books.
"See ya Leanna!" I waved to my friend as we headed in opposite directions.
I walked through the hallway, getting bustled around by the people in the hall. My school was over crowded, but I still loved it.
"Hey Marz!" I flagged down Marla and we walked to class together. As we sat down, Marla pulled out her mini sketchbook and began drawing. I smiled as I did the same, although I was drawing on lined paper instead.
The teacher strode into the classroom, and demanded that the class quiet down and get to work.
Not even 5 minutes into the lesson, my stomach turned, and I knew. A digimon was here. I don't know how I knew, but I knew. As if on cue, I heard a loud screech, followed by screaming.
"Oh no!" I jumped up and ran to the door, like many other people in my class were doing. I was the first one there, and saw a crowd of people charging down the hall.
"Midnight CRUSH!" Something shouted in a high pitched voice. I ran out onto the hallway, in time to see a guy, who was about my age, helping the teacher. She was an old teacher, and walked on a cane. She had tripped and he had apparently stopped to help. I saw them in time to see an Owlmon shooting out beams of red light out of his eyes.
Marla stood transfixed next to me as most people in the class shrieked and ran back to their desks.
"No!" I yelled, "Stop!"
"Ruby! Is that a digimon?!" Marla was amazed.
"Watch out!" I lunged forwards, changing shape as I ran. The Owlmon screamed again, and began to dive at the boy and Ms. Bonda. I contacted a split second before he would have hit them. Owlmon slammed into the row of lockers. His eyes dimmed for a second, then they flashed bright red as he targeted me.
I didn't have time to react as I was engulfed by a red light and was thrown into the opposite wall. It felt like my life was being sucked out of me. I gasped and fought to get out. Remembering Renamon's unique ability to disappear and appear somewhere else, I focused my energies and tried it. Next thing I knew, I was beside Owlmon, delivering a fierce backhand and sending him into the doors that led outside. The force of his hit was enough to open them, and I followed as he flew outside. In his rush, he hit the side of a car and fell to the ground dazed. Without hesitating I grabbed him by a wing and threw him up into the air, and jumped up myself.
"Diamond Storm!" I hadn't wanted to damage anymore property then Owlmon and I already had, so I attacked him in the air.
As I downloaded his data, I saw Marla, out of the corner of my eye, bend down and pick something blue up.
I didn't have time to think about it though, because I heard some sirens, and wanted to get out of there as soon as I could. I jumped behind a car and disapeared, and came back just around the corner of the group of people who had been watching the fight. I changed back to my Human form, and realized I didn't have my glasses.
"Dammit!" I whispered, and sprinted back to my classroom. I spotted them in a corner on the floor, fortunately not broken.
"I'm gonna have to find someway to deal with that," I thought as I ran back to my classmates, who were still trying to figure out what had happened.
"Ruby!" Marla ran up to me, "Where were you? You just, disappeared!"
"Yah, well...." I trailed off.
"Hey look!" Marla held up a blue card excitedly.
"Oh, Wow!" 'So that's what she picked up'
"Digimon are real! Can you believe that?"
I grinned at her, "Yeah, never would'a thought huh?"
She frowned, "You okay Ruby? I mean, I would've thought you'd be screaming right now."
I laughed, "No worried Marla, I'm fine. Besides, I found out Digimon was real yesterday."
"Yester... huh?"
I shut up for a minute, as a police officer walked by, and started talking to a few students from the class who had first seen the Owlmon.
"Anyways," I continued, with one eye of the officer, "Like I said, I learned about Digimon yesterday. Draco has a partner."
"She does? Was it that Renamon?"
My mouth quirked. "Nope, Draco's partner is an Elecmon."
"Oh. Then who's with Renamon?"
"That Renamon? She doesn't have a partner."
"How do you know?"
"I do."
Marla threw her hand up in exasperation. "You know something I don't know don't you?"
"You might say that."
Marla glared.
"Whooooaaa, look of death!" She motioned for me to tell her what I was holding back.
"Fine fine, I'll tell you. Just stop looking at me like that. I know that Renamon doesn't have a partner, because she's her own Tamer."
"That makes no sense."
"I know, Let me finish. That Renamon, isn't just a Renamon. She's a human too."
She just looked confused. "Oookay, then who's the person?" She asked skeptically.
"Me."
"Yeah right."
"No I'm serious I-"
"Get back to work!" Growled the teacher. He gave us a stern look, as if daring us to conjure up another creature to disturb the class.
Marla looked at the teacher, then leaned over to me, "What am I supposed to do with this Blue Card? I don't have anything to slash it in."
"I dunno...." I whispered back, "We don't have card readers like the show does. I slashed my Blue Card in my D-Power. And so did Draco." I frowned.
"Marla! Ruby! Quiet down!"
I cringed as Marla and I hastily went back to our math problems.
"You're kidding, right?"
I grinned, showing a few small but sharp teeth.
"Does this sound like Renamon's voice?"
"Uh...."
I lifted up my Ocarina necklace I always wore.
