Chapter 1:
Life's Funny Like This
"On my vacation?" asked Takeru. "Yeah, really! That girl you saw. Did she have brown hair and blue eyes?" "Well, yeah. She did. How would you know Kari?" "Because I met up with a Gatomon. Not my partner, someone else. And a Digimon called Umparomon." "Umparomon?! Never heard of that Digimon!" Davis yells as he runs into Reko's room.
Once again, Davis is late. Not surprising to anyone. Of course, he was the one who called the meeting after Kari explained everything to him three days before.
"You started without me?!" "The meeting was supposed to start a half hour ago. So we did." Ken explained subtly. "You called it for 3:00 today, so we started at three." "But.but." Davis's trails off as he spots a bag of chips on the computer desk. He grabs it and sits next to Kari on the floor. "So, going on, you're saying that there's TWO new Destend?" Yolei asked. "It seems like it." Kari replyed. "That Gatomon said that we should go check it out. She gave me an address, and told me to meet her in Chicago, in America." "Isn't that where Mimi was living last year, before she moved back here?" asked Cody. "Yeah, I think so. Maybe she'll have a map of the place." Ken replied.
A couple days later, the five set off to Chicago, with their partners. Cody couldn't come because of Kendo practice, and Yolei stayed back to help Matt with his band. (Matt's now got his second album out, and he's having problems trying to come up with an album cover on the third, titled 'Flying with Desteny'. Sora came up with the name. She said that there should be a bird on the front. Tai wants a vulture, and Joe e-mailed a picture of a morning dove.)
"Where's Davis when you need him?!" Wormmon exclaimed, pacing. "I can't DNA DigiVolve without Veemon here, I wish Davis would learn! He should know by now!" "Just be patient. One of these days, we'll figure out another way that's faster, so we can leave if Davis isn't on time." Ken responded. "Yeah, one without Davis," mumbled Takeru. "Hey everyone! I'm here!" Davis yells as he enters viewing range of the rest of the group. "Remind me again why everyone's going and not just one of us?" Davis asks. "You and Ken have to go because we need Wormmon and Veemon to get there, and I want to meet her, and the other new Destend," Takeru explains. "I'm going for the same reason as TK." "Same reason as TK and Reko," Kari adds. "I don't see why we can't just take a plane everywhere, like we used to." Davis states. "Because it takes too long to get there. We'd be on one forever!!" Patamon yells. "Remember how quick we got to places with Imperieldramon? THAT was fast, and I loved it!"
(Wormmon and Veemon DigiVolve, and then DNA DigiVolve to Imperieldramon)
"Come on everyone, let's go!" Davis shouts.
With Imperieldramon's lightning-fast speed, they get to Chicago in almost no time at all. They soon travel around Chicago, their partners almost forgetting their hoodies. (Since everyone in Japan knows about the Destend, the Digimon haven't had to wear hoodies. It's quite normal for them to sign their autographs for people in Japan, and Odiaba has been more popular than ever in the past three years.)
"Gatomon, put on a hoodie or something, people are looking weird at you," Kari half-whispers. "I told you that walking on all fours wouldn't work. you've got gloves and a tail ring!" "Here's the address." TK announced. "What now?" "There should be a park nearby," Kari says. "Hey look!" Davis shouts, pointing to an electronics store nearby. "We're on TV!!" "What?!" TK yells. "Us, on TV? That's only supposed to be in Japan!" "Maybe you should move AWAY from there you guys," Reko points out. "If we get caught around here with these clothes on, people might suspect something." "Look at me!" Davis shouts. "I'm so smart and brave!"
(everyone laughs)
"What? Aren't I?"
(everyone laughs again)
Ken finally speaks up "Smart, no. Brave, maybe just a little." "I think we've had enough here. Let's go, here's a park.this way," Reko points out.
They walk around in the park for a little while, and Davis soon takes off his goggles because of all the strange looks he's getting from passers by, usually mentioning that he looks like "That dork from the Digimon show."
"I'm so glad you took those old goggles off Davis." TK remarks. "I wish you'd just get rid of them. Before Tai gave them to you, he'd had them most of his life. Those things are so annoying." "Maybe to you they're annoying, but they're special to me because Tai gave them to me after mine broke." "You didn't deserve those goggles! You look so RETARTED with those on! Your old ones suited you better because they were so PLAIN!" "Oh really?! We'll see about that!"
All hell brakes loose, and Davis and TK are soon on the ground, at each others throats. The whole situation reminds Kari that Tai and Matt were exactly the same. The only difference is that that was in the Digital World. This is here in front of a live audience. Kari just wishes that they could be in the Digital World right now, out of prying eyes sight. The ever- growing crowd watches as the two throw punches, and soon, the news cameras are out there too, probably suspecting that it'll be popular for the at home viewers.
"Would you two quit it?!! There's a huge crowd here!" Kari yells. "Come on, it's not nessesery to be taping all this, it's just a little fight here," Reko tries pursuading the reporters. "Really, it's nothing, we can handle this!" (sweatdrop) "Mommy, Mommy, look! It's the people from TV!" a little girl yells. "Ok, come on, break it up guys! A pair of goggles is nothing to fight over!" Ken yells. "You look just like Tai and Matt!" Kari exclaims. She adds "From that Digimon TV show." After getting surprised, confused, and weird looks from the people around them.
Soon, TK and Davis realize everything going on around them, and quit fighting. They take a run for it. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
They soon find who they were looking for. A Gatomon, and an Umparomon are standing in an area of the park where there isn't anyone else around. The Destend soon find out that they scared everyone away with a stick.
"So, what did we go through all that for? We've walked for a while, had the media down our throats, and then walked even more!" Reko states. "It's getting late, can't we find this new Destend tomorrow or something?" "No, we can't. We've waited long enough." Umparomon says. "Gatomon and I already know where the new Destends' houses are. We can wait until morning for one, but the other has to provide somewhere for us to sleep. We've chosen the one with this address. (shows them the new Destend's address) It's in a little town in NorthWest Indiana. We should get going soon." "If we have to find this place tonight, let's get going now." Ken comments. "I'm getting tired." "Me too." Says Davis. "Well, let's go then." Kari says.
(Patamon, Gatomon, and Hawkmon armor DigiVolve, and give the Destend a ride)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Well, right below you, that's it." Gatomon explains. "Let's land over there." "The light is on over at that window, let's knock!" Davis exclaims.
The Gatomon goes up to the window, and knocks. The lights turn off, and a figure appears at the window. She soon opens it up.
"Hi, I'm Gatomon. Is there a person here that looks like this?" Gatomon asks, showing a picture to the person. "Yeah, that's me. What's going on?" She asks, rubbing her eyes. "Are you real?!" She whispers. "Of course I am! And, you're my partner." "Really? How can I be? And, why are you here at midnight? I was just going to get ready for bed." "Yeah, about that.could a few of my friends and I stay here tonight? We're kinda tired." Gatomon asks. "Uhh.who? She asks. "Um, Kari, Gatomon, Ken, Wormmon, TK, Patamon, Davis, Veemon, Reko, Gamilamon, Umparomon and me." "Uhh.oh, why not. How could I pass up something like this!" She whispers. "If you can all fit in here." "Come on guys! It's ok!"
They soon find out her name is Steph, she's 14, she plays the flute, and a few other things about her are told. She's wearing a pale green shirt with a design on the front, and some jewelry, along with shorts, and a pair of Nikes. She's 5'5, and skinny (yet not as much as Ken). Soon enough, they all get to sleep. Morning will come soon, and another Destend will be found.
"On my vacation?" asked Takeru. "Yeah, really! That girl you saw. Did she have brown hair and blue eyes?" "Well, yeah. She did. How would you know Kari?" "Because I met up with a Gatomon.
