Disclaimer: I do not own digimon, as much as I wish I did. Anyway, on with the story!

Takuya awoke from his trance-like state, and he quietly asked the nurse by him if he could talk to Tommy's parents. After recovering from the initial shock of having one of her patients-one that was supposed to be in a coma- like state of being-actually talk to her, she replied that yes, he could talk to them, and she would go get them. Takuya said, No, I'll walk over there. Thank you, though.

Takuya got off the bed and walked over to Tommy's parents. He said quietly, "Tommy is one great kid. He always told us about you. He really misses you." The adults he was talking to seemed to jump and quickly turn around. Tommy's mother asked, "How do you know that? How do you even know Tommy? Is he hurt? Is he OK? Please tell me!"

Takuya was quickly swamped by all of these questions, so here answered them slowly. "I was just like Tommy was. We were transported into another world, but I guess only our minds were transported. Our bodies just remained here. That is how I met Tommy. My name is Takuya, and Tommy was-and still is-my friend. We traveled all over that world. I think I was offered a ride home- I don't remember how-and I guess my mind was restored to my body and I woke up. Yes Tommy is fine, and last time I saw him, he wasn't hurt."

But Takuya also said to himself "Last time I saw him, he was a great white ape-digimon that was carrying two huge axes and battling an evil digimon." This, though, he kept to himself.

Then, his nurse came over and told him that he needed to lie down and get some rest. "Your parents will be here later, and you want to feel your best for them, don't you?" Takuya nodded and went back over to his bed. Once there he fell asleep.

***Several hours pass***

Takuya awoke again to see his parents sitting next to his bed. His mom was asleep, and his dad was flipping through a magazine. "Dad? Is that you? Is it really you?" His dad started, and his sudden movement awoke Takuya's mom. "Takuya? Did you say something? I must be dreaming again. Takuya won't wake up. Imagine-me dreaming! I'm just a pitiable old fool."

But Takuya said, "I don't think you're a pitiable old fool Dad, and you aren't dreaming.I'm awake. His dad stared at him, and his mom, who had been listening to their conversation, suddenly grabbed Takuya and started shaking him. "IF YOU EVER GIVE US A SCARE LIKE THAT AGAIN, YOU'LL BE SORRY! I'LL." The sentence was left unfinished, for Takuya was smothered in a bear hug, courtesy of the person who had just previously been shaking him.

Takuya's dad soon mastered himself-and his (Takuya's) mom-and asked Takuya for an answer. Takuya replied with an I-don't-think-you're-going-to-believe- this-but-here-it-goes look, and he started explaining. He started with when he left his house, but he made sure he didn't mention digimon, the spirits and beast spirits, or the legendary warriors. His entire explanation took about three-and-a-half hours, for his parents kept interrupting him with questions.

When he was finished, he lay back down on his bed and told his parents, "I'm really tired you guys, but it was great to see you again. I really missed you guys in that other world. I'll see you guys when I wake up." With that, Takuya fell into the sweet forgetfulness of sleep.
