"Are you sure? Is this the right choice?" she asked at the brink of tears. She was unprepared for the situation, and was very uncertain what to do. She had already agreed, and there was nothing she possibly do to prevent him from going. I wish this hadn't come sooner, she thought.
"Don't worry, honey. We did the right thing", he replied. Koushirou's mother collapsed on his chest.
"But… he's only a boy! He's not ready yet!" she cried.
"Our little boy's growing up honey. We can't stop it…" he answered.
"But…But…" she sniffed.
"I know how you feel, honey…"

"Mimi? How'd you get my number?" Koushirou inquired. He was quite surprised by her calling him. He remembered what had happened before.
"Oh, well you know, I had to squeeze it out of Taichi's mouth" she replied.
"So what's happening? Why'd you call?" Koushirou's curiosity got the better of him.
"Well, I want to thank you for helping me. I guess it was your fault for getting me out of this whole ordeal. Thank you, Koushirou. I wanted to say that, a few weeks ago, but I never got a chance to meet you. Oh, by the way, why aren't you ever in the computer lab anymore?" she said.
"Uh… I don't have much time for the computer lab nowadays. Got plenty of studying to do." he replied.
"Really? Never knew the great Koushirou computer whiz, had other things to do besides his computer." she laughed. " Well, Koushirou it was nice talking to you. Maybe we could talk again some time." Sure, was the only reply Koushirou gave. With that they said goodbye and hung up the phone.
After a few minutes of thinking about his trip, he decided to call the people that we're signing him up for the tournament. He took out the gold card, and dialed the number.
"Hello, welcome to the once every six year continental tournament. Please dial the numbers indicated on the bottom of your invitation card." Koushirou dialed his numbers quickly. "Thank you. Are you accepting the invitation Izumi Koushirou?" The female indicator inquired.
"Yes.. I.. Uh… I accept." Koushirou stuttered. These kind of questions made Koushirou nervous.
"Your trip to America will be on December 10th" the indicator responded. Koushriou checked his calendar. In two weeks, he thought. "Do you have any further questions, you would like answered?"
"Yes. I would like to know, how many tickets will I be receiving?" Koushirou questioned.
"You will be receiving 1 ticket to America" the indicator replied. Koushirou sighed. Mom, and Dad won't be able to come, he thought.
"How long will I be staying there?" he asked.
"You will be staying there for however long you desire. However, if you stay longer than nine months, you will need to apply as an American resident" the female responded.
"Will we be provided with residential areas?" It was Koushirou's last question.
"You will be living in an apartment in Orlando, Florida, our meeting place. You must choose a partner to live with, in your apartment." the female answered.
"Thank you" Koushirou said, as he hung up the phone. He laid on his bed, and thought about being by himself, in a different country. Sure, he went to the digital world, but this time he was going with people he didn't even know. Koushirou sighed. What did I do?

"So… When are we going back?" Mimi asked. "You, know back to America?"
"Honey, we're leaving December 10th" her mother answered. "We're going to be living in Orlando Florida, or something like that"…
