Author's note: I realize that it's not been very nice of me to get this
chapter out after soooo much time and I want to say that I really regret
it.
I'm not bashing anyone. I simply highlight some of the mistakes Toei made and having some fun with other characters – i.e. pinked-haired Tai! *giggles insanely*
Warnings: As plotless as could be! That is, nothing happens. Aside from that, we have some very little Kouyako (Izzy&Yolei, for those who don't know).

Part 2
Contrary to his daily routine, the Kaiser didn't wake up until ten in the morning.
"Uuhhh, my head…"
"Master?" A coy, yet panicked voice asked.
"What-" The Kaiser's intention to yell was cut short, due to the sudden twist of his stomach and sickly bitter taste in his mouth.
"Master? You'd better go to the bathroom," counseled the alarmed digimon.
The genius wisely took Wormmon's advice and made his way into the adjacent room, the content of his stomach deciding that that was the best time to make its movement upwards the esophagus and mouth. [Bleah! How could I write that?]
Some minutes later, the Kaiser rinsed his mouth with water and rested his head on the cold tiles. The headache he had made him more irritated [than usual, that is^^] so when his green digimon showed up with aspirin, he was only glad to take it.
"How is the conquest of the new territories going?" were the first words out of the leader's mouth.
"As planed, Master", answered his 'partner'.
A slight feeling of relief swept over the Kaiser, but it didn't last long.
"WHY are you looking at me like that?" he snapped. "What happened?"
"Well…" the green digimon shuffled his five pairs of feet.
"What?"
"Your hair…"
'That blue mop on your head' echoed through his mind.
In a gloomy mood, he turned to the mirror to see his hopefully spiked blue hair. It was very, very good indeed for the boy, although highly improbable, that he had managed to hold on to hope and on to the belief that really bad stuff didn't happen to *his* hair. Of course, life was bent on showing him how wrong he was.
The hair was still spiked, but…it was white. Completely *white*.
Ken opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. Wisely, the one person, well, digimon, who knew him, handed him more aspirin.
"Thank you, Wormmon," he said in a quiet voice.
"No problem, *Ken*."

From battling numerous …well, battles, the DigiDestined had set up by now an efficient way of communication and were trained in the art of exchanging messages quickly and effectively. For example…
"Izzyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! My haaaaaaaaaaair!!!"
Amazingly enough, this line was shouted over the phone by 7 'old' DigiDestined and a 'new' one. The boy was quickly beginning to loose his patience. Having unofficially been appointed problem-solver was not quite to his liking, especially when he himself had a similar similarly unsolvable problem. Thankfully (and Izzy did offer prayers of gratitude to every deity he knew, twice even, as he kept listening to each DigiDestined freaking out), thankfully, Yolei came by to offer her support.
The young girl had almost always been annoyed with her pinkish purple hair, which absolutely and positively didn't match her eyes, but over time, she had resigned herself with the situation. Thus, she had been shocked to wake up with blond hair: "Aaaaaa…" Thunk. After waking up, it went much like this: "Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod!!!!" And two minutes later… "Hey, but… it doesn't look so bad! In fact, it's better! A *lot* better! I wonder what Izzy would say…" And she had gone straight to the Izumi apartment.
Izzy, in spite of his high IQ and ability of deciphering the digicode and researching various runes, still had a long way to go before being able to deal with minor everyday problems, such as trifles regarding hair changing colour overnight. He welcomed Yolei's presence, which helped him come back with his feet on the ground. They decided to have a big meeting in the computer lab and informed the others about it, brushing aside insignificant issues like how was Tai going to hide his very *big* and very *pink* hair.
~ ~ ~
Fifteen minutes later, the former leader of the DigiDestined was running faster than he ever thought possible to the only place which could provide shelter: the computer lab of his former school. He would have even been able to reach it without having the pupils who had come to school perceive more than a blur of green, white and pink. Unfortunately, something else had also come to school: bad luck! Which in the form of a forgotten bucket stood in Tai's way, making him trip, fall and land in front of some 6th graders, who opened their eyes really wide and looked *very* closely at him.
Misfortune was indeed roaming through the school that day… In fact, if one asked a student, one would learn it was there *every* day, concealing itself as the school-start: 730. At that hour, the pupils moved around with barely opened eyes and sleep-clouded minds. Therefore, the 6th graders who peered at Tai, finally reaching a conclusion, set out yawning for class, their words remaining behind to play themselves over and over again in Tai's mind: "It's only the former student Taichi Yagami with pink hair… It's only the former student Taichi Yagami with pink hair… It's only the former student Taichi Yagami with pink hair…!!!"
[As far as I know, in Japan school starts at eight, though I'm not quite sure. In this fic it's seven thirty because that's what I'm going through. Let me tell you, having to be a school at that hour is entirely and utterly horrendous. [Yes, I am trying to get your simpathy^^)]
~ ~ ~
So Tai entered the classroom breathing heavily and just in time to see his friends staring at each other bewildered. Everyone was gaping, unable to process the new 'looks' of his or her teammates. Yet, the embarrassment of being seen like that was what remained dominant. At the stormy entrance of their former leader (shortly followed by his sister), eight pairs of eyes turned and eyed his hair, laughter immediately appearing in them. The eight pairs of lips, however, stayed firmly united, without parting…for the amazing long time of five (five!) whole seconds! After that, they all exploded with laughter, causing a constantly increasing level of embarrassment on Tai's part and a rush of blood to his face, the unusual blush perfectly matching his bright pink hair.
"Alright, people, knock it off!", he said to hide his feelings. "It's not like I'm the only one," he grinned. 'Time for a row-call', a little devil told him.
"Matt!"
The former blonde tried to fade into the background, which was fairly easy, plain brown being overshadowed by the other's bright colours.
"Izzy!"
The computer obsessed teen groaned. "So what if my hair is fluorescent green? It doesn't matter…does it?" His voice had become shaky at the end.
"Joe!"
"I want my former hair back! What are people going to say when they see me with *green* hair?"
His question went unanswered.
"Sora!"
"Tai, I think we should find a solution. FAST! Blue hair is unnerving," she complained.
"T.K.!"
"Whoever is responsible for this will pay! Black hair?!?" The boy shook his hair infuriated.
"Kari!"
"I'm with T.K.," said the redhead quietly, but very determined.
"Davis!"
"Err…, well…"
"Yolei!"
"Hi!" chirped the blonde merrily, throwing (loving) glances at Izzy.
"Cody!"
The young boy met Tai's gaze steadily, replying, "I'm with T.K. too. This is ridiculous!", and blinked for a few times, to hold back the forming tears.
'Poor kid. What a blow to his ego,' thought the pink-haired one.
"Well, that's everyone, except for Mimi."
"We phoned her and she said she had just taken an afternoon nap, waking up to find her hair indigo," Yolei informed them, still in her oh-I'm-so- happy-Izzy-is-finally-noticing-me tone. "She was really annoyed--"
"Because of the unnatural shade, no?"
"No, because she hadn't thought of dying her hair *that* colour!"
"That's Mimi," shrugged Sora, the others accepting her words.
"Open that door! Who is in there?"
The DigiDestined jumped.
"Open this door at once!!!"
"That's principal Takana," Kari whispered. "If he catches us…"
"And she said she'll meet us in the DigiWorld!" Yolei continued in a loud voice.
"Shhh!!!!"
"It's time to get out of here!"
"Right! Kari?"
"Digi-port open!"
The kids were turned into data and teleported to the digital world, leaving an empty computer lab behind… The only things that hadn't been there before they had come were their schoolbags…
End part 2
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Right, that was it. In the next part (hopefully out on Friday) we find out WHY their hair changed colour!
Oh, and if you're wondering where their Digimon were, actually I forgot about them *feels very ashamed*, but just pretend they were there, just too shocked to speak, ok?
Remember, if you review telling me the good and bad parts, you'll like the next part better! IF you're going to read it, that is… :(
