Disclaimer: I still don't own digimon. If I did, I would be able to put this fic on the actual show J .

A/N: so this is when stuff starts happening. I hope you like it.

Mimi Tachikawa rummaged through some clothes. She pulled out a ridiculous outfit and pretended to wear it. Michael put his hand over his mouth to keep from exploding in laughter. Mimi joined in as she put the skirt back on the rack.

"May I help you two?"

Mimi and Michael turned to see a lady with a K-Mart employee outfit on. She seemed as if she had never smiled in her lifetime. Mimi forced a grin.

"Uh, no… we were, uh, just leaving…"

"We were?" Michael whispered. Mimi kicked his leg and beckoned him to follow her to the doors. Michael followed.

"They're never going to let us back in there," Mimi stated.

"Hey, they might," Michael formed a sarcastic grin. Mimi looked at him and started to giggle. Michael joined in, and soon they were laughing on the side of a busy New York street. Michael wiped a tear from his eye. When he looked back, though, Mimi was no where to be found.

Davis sat in detention with his head on his desk. Mr. Iwochi sat, watching him. He put his ruler down.

"Okay, Davis. Time's up! You can go now!"

Davis sat up. He grabbed his lightweight backpack and walked to the door. Mr. Iwochi stopped him.

"Davis," he said, "pay attention in class and don't blow off your homework and then "hang with your buds". Davis nodded quietly. "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow."

Once in the halls, Davis leaned against his locker. Suddenly, the wall in front of him flickered. It flickered several more times before Davis could figure out what he was seeing when he wasn't staring at the wall. He could see in the distance the oilrig in which Cody had received the Digi-Egg of Reliability.

The Digiworld! However, there seemed to be a change to the surroundings since last time he was there. Around the shore there was heavy forestation. The lush green plants looked like they were going to extend their vines and whip him. The changes in surroundings grew more frequent, before Davis was entirely in the Digital World

As Ken left the kitchen, he smiled. He had finally done it; he had asked Yolie out. But before he could give himself a pat on the back, he realized he felt kinda weird. It wasn't love; it was more of a… nauseous feeling. The wall in front of him started to change. [A/N: I won't describe this part, because it was the exact thing that happened to Davis]

Ken looked around. He was in the midst of some kind of jungle. He started walking slowly forward, but he tripped over something and heard a scream.

"Watch where you're going, jerk!" Mimi wailed. But when she saw Ken's face, she smiled apologetically. Suddenly, they heard something crashing through the brush. A face popped out of a nearby bush.

Ken looked closer. "Davis?"

"Oh, hi."

"Why didn't you walk home with me yesterday?"

"I…uh…had detention with Mr. Iwochi. By the way, I found a few friends."

Wormmon, Veemon, and Palmon jumped out of the bushed. But Mimi was surprised to see Agumon, Tentomon, and Gabumon. But then she saw their human partners follow.

Tai looked down. "You two… okay?"

Ken stood up. "Yeah, just took a nasty fall. Say, what are we doing here?"

Matt scanned their surroundings. "That's what I wanted to know."

Izzy spoke up. "What really bothers me is that we were pulled right out of the real world. Coupled with the fact that the Digiport's closed for some reason.

"Hey, Izzy? Do you know if we can still contact our world?" Mimi asked.

"Um, yeah. Maybe. I have my lab top right here. Izzy sat on the wet grass. He opened his lab top and tried to get the transmission to work. "Who do you want to call, Mimi? I have a built in videophone."

"Michael. I'll dial." Mimi sat down and began punching numbers. Michael's face showed on the screen. "Michael, we're all stuck in the Digiworld. Could you come help us somehow?"

Mimi knew Michael was talking, just extremely slowly. Izzy bent over for a closer look. Suddenly, the realization hit him.

"Earth and Digiworld time is out of sync."

Davis scratched his head. "And that means…"

"That something pretty damn powerful has been messing with time."
