Act Six: The Party Begins and The DigiDestined Reunite
Scene One: The Crane Mansion (Still that Evening)
A/N: If you watch Passions, then you should know how long a day lasts on that cockamamie show.
The guests begin to arrive at the mansion for Ethan and Theresa's party. Among them are Sam and Grace, T.C. and Eve, and Whitney and her boyfriend of three months, Chad Harris. As the party gets underway, Julian steps outside holding a glass of wine in his hand.
Julian (talking to himself in usual Passions manner): Soon, my boy, you're going to be a man, just like me.
As he walks back inside, a mysterious woman hiding in the bushes stares at him with intensity.
Woman: Soon, Julian, you'll pay for what you've done.
Scene Two: Outside of A Chinese Restaurant in Harmony (Night)
Meanwhile, the DigiDestined have no luck finding Matt and Ken, so they decide to get some food at a Chinese restaurant. Unbeknownst to them, however, Matt and Ken are headed toward the same place! When they go in, Tai orders for him and Sora.
Tai: I'll have two buffets, a Coke and a Sprite.
Sora: Tai, I wanted a Root Beer.
Tai: Okay, a Root Beer instead of a Sprite.
Tai and Sora go to sit down at a booth, then Davis orders.
Davis: I'll have a buffet and a Pepsi, with two straws.
Yolei and Hawkmon walk up behind him.
Yolei: Who are you going to share the soda with, Veemon?
Davis (annoyed): For your information, Yolei, me and Kari are sitting together.
Yolei: Guess again! (points towards the cashier)
Davis sees T.K. and Kari ordering and holding hands, making him burn with jealousy.
Davis (almost to the point of crying): How come I never get to be with Kari?
Veemon: Davis, you're making a scene.
Davis (whining): But it's just not fair.
Davis and Veemon go sit down a booth, then after they finish ordering, T.K. and Kari sit down at a booth by a window. A few minutes later, Matt and Ken walk in front of the restaurant.
Matt: Let's face it guys. We'll never find them at this rate.
Ken (agreeing): You're right, Matt. We might as well go back to that house we came from.
As Matt and Ken turn to leave, Kari looks out the window and sees them.
Kari: T.K., look!
T.K. (looking out the window): It's Matt and Ken!
T.K. runs outside and calls Matt and Ken, who then turn around and see him. They instantly run back to the restaurant and join the others inside.
Tai: Matt! Ken! We'd thought we'd never find you guys.
Matt: I was beginning to think the same thing.
Ken: Where's Cody?
Yolei: Forget about him, what took you so long to get here? Did you forget about our date tonight?
Ken (getting nervous): No, Yolei, I didn't forget.
Yolei: Come on, I've already ordered for the both of us.
Yolei and Ken sit down while everyone else wonders what Ken sees in her. Matt sits with Joe, Izzy, and Mimi.
Matt: Where is Cody?
Joe: He's with his new best friend, Timmy.
Izzy: He's been with him ever since we got here.
Mimi: As long as he's out of our hair, he can stay wherever he wants.
Palmon: Mimi, that's not nice!
Mimi: Excuse me for being honest!
Everyone eats their fill of Chinese food, then head back to Tabitha's.
Scene Three: The Bennett house
After waiting over three hours for Jessica and Charity to come back from the store, Miguel starts to get worried.
Miguel: I'm getting worried you guys. Jessica and Charity should have been back by now.
Kay (mumbling): Maybe Charity jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and put me out of my misery.
Simone: (poking Kay): Kay!
Reese: We can't call the police. Chief Bennett and Luis are at the Crane mansion.
Kay (being a smart ass) Even if we did call, they couldn't do anything about it. A person has to be missing 24 hours before they can even get involed.
Miguel: That's it, I'm going to go look for them.
Simone: That's okay, Miguel, Kay and I will go look for them. You stay here just in case they come back.
Kay (after seeing Reese approaching her: That's fine with me! (runs out the door)
After searching an hour for them, Simone and Kay begin to head back home, when Kay trips over something.
Kay: What was that?
Simone: Shine your flashlight on it and take a look.
When Kay shines the flashlight on the bushes, she sees a leg coming out of it. After they look behind the bushes, they find the corpses of Jessica and Charity.
Kay and Simone (freaking out): AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! THEY'RE DEAD!!!!
Kay and Simone try to run back to the house, but before they can get halfway there, the dark stranger grabs them, slashes their throats, and stabs them with a butcher knife. Then the stranger takes his sword out, carves "DWP" into their stomachs, and runs away. Back at the house, Miguel decides he can't wait for Simone and Kay to come back and goes to look for them. Unfortunately for him, before he gets two blocks away from the house, he meets up with the dark stranger and is dealt the same fate as Jessica, Charity, Kay, and Simone. The dark stranger leaves.
