------Introduction------

After the Pokemon incident Crystal, Shiva, Lip, Zapmon and I found ourselves landing in just about every Anime series I had ever heard of, with a few exceptions that made up the world that we had originally come from. In other words, we still hadn't figured out how to get back to the original world and aside from Zapmon, the others were all blaming me. This, like everything else that seemed to happen to us was basically normal.

When it became apparent that we might not get back at all, I started to worry about getting home. The tension between us was rising and things weren't looking good...

------Heading Home------

None of us were sure how, but somehow we ended up back in Washu's lab. Actually, a hole openned up beneath us and we fell into Washu's lab. Shiva, Lip and Crystal cheered. Zapmon and I were sitting on the floor, too exhausted from listening to the other three argue to say anything.

"Welcome back," said Washu.

Crystal asked, "How exactly did we get back?"

"Once I locked onto your energy signatures in the time-space teleporter, it was easy," replied Washu.

No one asked for further details.

Shiva said, "I'm hungry."

Crystal and I shouted, "YOU'RE ALWAYS HUNGRY!"

Shiva marched out of the lab intent upon going into the kitchen to nag Sasami for something to eat. Lip followed him, his stomach was growling. No one even tried to stop them.

"Well, you three are the ones I really needed to talk to anyway," said Washu.

I asked, "How long were we gone anyway?"

"Well, let's just say you've basically used up your one-month stay in the Anime Universe," replied Washu.

Crystal raised an eyebrow, "We were jumping around between worlds THAT long?!"

"Yes," stated Washu. "And I believe Rachel has a choice to make."

"That's an easy one," I said.

It had been a fun adventure, but I couldn't just stay in the Anime Universe forever. I belonged in the reality I came from. When I realized that I was worried about when I would get home, I realized that I belonged there. Crystal would be the one to stay in the Anime Universe, that was basically what I had created her for, when I made her into my character. Zapmon and my digivice would have to return to being a simple plastic D3 digivice toy on my bookcase.

"I'm going home."

Crystal blinked, "Are you serious?"

"Yeah, it's be fun and all, but I belong in my own world," I replied lightly. "Besides, someone's got to write this story."

"While you've been gone, I sort of sent a robot to take your place for the month," said Washu. "And it seems that your little story has become quite the fanfiction series."

"WHAT?!" I shouted.

"Well, that's enough talk, back to reality you go," said Washu clicking a button a remote control she had been concealing.

I was suddenly surrounded by a flash of light.

[Larry POV]

And so, Rachel and Zapmon disappeared from the Anime Universe. Crystal watched them go and deciding there was nothing better to do, she also left the lab.

[My POV]

I found myself standing in the middle of my room holding my plastic D3 in my hand. I walked over to the bookcase and set it down before heading out of my room to see what had gone on while I had been away. Nothing had really changed and Washu had somehow managed to upload information on everything that had happened into my head. I had been gone for a month and a half. It was still summer vacation and as always, my computer was on. My dad was at work and my brother had gone off to a friend's house for the day. I had the house to myself.

After a brief tour of my house, I slipped back into my room to check out my usual spots on the internet. That was when the phone rang.

I ran out of the room and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

A familiar voice came over the phone, "How's that new fanfiction coming Rachel?"

I had already managed to forget about Washu telling me that I had somehow been writing the story of what was going on to me as a fanfiction series. She hadn't exactly told me the title I had chosen to use.

"Shiva? What fanfiction series?" I asked over the phone.

Shiva replied, "The Dragon Tamer obviously. It seems so realistic."

"You'd be surprised," I replied. "I suppose it's kind of over."

"Nooooo!" came Shiva's response over the phone.

I shrugged, "Then again, I can probably come up with some pretty crazy new episodes."

"Yay!" was Shiva's reply.

I sighed, "Yes, you will still be in the story."

"YAY!" came Shiva's reply again.

"This is going to be a long vacation," I said.

Eventually Shiva and I finished discussing possible plot twists to add to the story and even more chaotic things to get the characters involved in. Then I was off the phone and headed back to my computer.

~Well Crystal, I hope you're ready for the real adventure to start.~ I thought mostly to myself.

Crystal's thoughts came to me as a reply ~Why do I have a bad feeling about this?~
