"What are you doing?"
That was the question that Sarianna asked Davis when she caught him fiddling with the computers in the computer room after school.
"Uhhhh, nothing! Nothing at all, heh heh" replied Davis looking completely guilty while trying to feign innocence.
"I saw you holding something, it looks like something electronic, can I see?" demanded the girl.
"I....." *come on Davis think of a good excuse!* "I don't know what you're talking about!" stammered the boy. *That's right. When in doubt, deny, deny*
"Yah right"
Just then T.K entered the room.
"Hey Davis let's get going to the di-- oh, hi there." TK stammered.
"Hi, your name's Takeru, right?" asked Sarianna.
"Call me T.K.....have we met?"
"I don't think so. Wait, maybe we have....you DO seem awfully familiar..."
"Maybe we went to the same summer camp?"
"No, I've never been to camp."
"Oh well. I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually"
Just then, T.K's backpack started squirming around.
"Is there something in your backpack???" gasped Sarianna.
"Yes..I mean...no...I mean...."
The top of the backpack in question suddenly popped open and out jumped an orange pig with bat wings for ears.
"Whew! T.K you shouldn't leave your gym clothes in there--- oops" Patamon blushed at his mistake in coming out when a non-digidestined were present.
Davis and T.K looked nervously at Sarianna. Sarianna just stared. The expression on her face wasn't one of fear, which they expected, or confusion which was also a possibility. No, the expression on her face was troubled, as if she was trying to remember something. Then, her faced seemed a bit less contorted and she said,
"Patamon?"
Everyone stared.
"H-how do you know his name?" TK stuttered.
"I-I don't know, exactly. It's as if I've met him before." Sarianna's voice seemed far away.
"Do you have something that looks like this?" demanded Davis, always to the point.
Davis and T.K held out their digivices for Sarianna to examine.
"I don't have anything like that, no. But I feel like I've seen it before." said Sarianna.
"Weird. Well, maybe you saw us fighting the Digimon who had crossed over the barrier between the worlds." suggested Davis.
"Between this world and the Digital World, right?" Sarianna looked at the two expectantly.
"Yah.....whoa this is crazy. How is it you know so much but don't know how you know it? I mean, you don't strike me as a scatterbrained type of person." Davis seemed more confused than ever.
Sarianna stared off into space for awhile. Then she turned her hazel eyes onto Patamon, who was perched on T.K's head, as usual. She held out her arms and Patamon flew to her outstretched hands. T.K was suddenly filled with the feeling that something was about to happen, so he instinctively reached out and touched Sarianna's arm.
* F * L * A * S * H *
As Patamon and T.K came into contact with Sarianna, a blinding blue light exploded from the three. As the brilliance faded, Davis stood in wonder as the girl, the boy and the digimon stared at each other. Suddenly, as if someone had pushed play on a paused movie, a look of recognition and of love filled each of their eyes. And then they were hugging, like they were old friends who had just been reunited after years of separation. Sarianna was crying with happiness.
"Thank you T.K, Patamon," whispered Sarianna.
"Anytime" the boy and his digimon replied in unison.
"What? What just happened here?" Davis babbled.
"When I came into contact with a digidestined and a digimon, my memories were returned to me" Sarianna calmly replied.
"What????"
T.K and Sarianna started to explain. You see, four years ago, when seven of the eight digidestined were still trapped in the digital world, they each had periods of time when they felt like they couldn't deal with what was happening. This is where Sarianna comes in. She always seemed to appear when they needed her for support. Sarianna visited each of the digidestined, but never revealed herself to more than one person at a time. She offered comfort in their times of need, was proud of them when they succeeded, and encouraged them when they failed. The digidestined never questioned who this mysterious figure was who helped them through that summer, the sense of peace and trust that seemed to radiate from Sarianna was good enough proof for them that she was on their side.
"But, if you were so close with the original seven digidestined, how come T.S didn't remember you?" inquired Davis.
A sad look passed over Sarianna's face. She looked down at her shoes and didn't reply right away. When he saw the pain his question was bringing upon the girl, Davis quickly said
"Hey, don't worry about it. You don't have to answer if you don't want to."
Sarianna quietly replied, without looking up.
"I was stupid. I was following the group because I felt like Matt could use my help. I wasn't paying attention and Myotismon caught me. To this day I regret it because Matt really did need my help and I let him down. Anyway, Myotismon knocked me out and suppressed the memory of me in your minds so that you wouldn't remember me until he saw fit, or until the spell was broken. After he took me to his castle and suppressed the memories of the Digital World, the Digimon, the Digidestined, and of my powers. I was held captive until the eighth child was found, the child of light, and together you defeated Myotismon. I was then sent back through the gate and I continued my life here as if nothing had ever happened "
Sarianna then looked at T.K and smiled. T.K smiled back
and Sarianna turned her gaze to Davis, who shuddered. Her hazel eyes
had turned blue, a combination of blues that gave the impression of swirling
light.
