Shadow-Assassin: I know… This stories chapters are shorter then most I've done. They may get longer eventually though.
Davis: Hey Shadow…
Shadow-Assassin: Yes Davis?
Davis: Have you seen TS?
Shadow-Assassin: Never met anyone by that name.
Davis: I mean TJ.
Shadow-Assassin: Don't know him either.
Davis: Oh come on you know what I mean!
Shadow-Assassin: *Grins and laughs*
Davis: It's not funny! *Turns and walks off*
Shadow-Assassin: By the way… I don't own Digimon… =^-^=
Chapter #2 - The Search
(A week later the digidestined are still searching for their missing comrades.)
The group walked along in silence with droopy faces and sad eyes.
They'd gotten back to the real world and realized that Tk, Kari, Patamon and Gatomon hadn't followed. They'd left right away to go and find their friends without even getting the chance to say good-bye to their families and friends.
"I don't understand why they would leave without saying anything." Tai says confused.
"Ya. Both of them are very responsible and this just isn't something they would do." Sora replies.
"What is they where hurt?" Mimi asked.
"What if someone or something has captured them?!" Palmon added.
"What if we never find them?" Cody wonders.
"We'll find em. I promise Cody." Armadilomon replies.
"Ya. Don't sweat it Cody. We've always found each other before. Why should this time be any different?" Joe says.
"They better have a good explanation. I didn't even get time to take a shower before we came back here." Mimi says.
"Mimi!" Everyone scolds.
"Joking!" Mimi laughs, "Hurry up! We have to find our friends."
"Oh Mimi." Palmon says shaking her head.
"Think their ok?" Matt asks.
"I know their ok Matt. They know how to take care of themselves." Gabumon replies.
A small creature runs across their path frightened by the noise. The group jumps back.
"What was that?" Yolie asks.
"I'm not really sure." Izzy replies and begins to type on his computer again.
Agumon slowly walks into the bushes where the small creature ran. "Hello? You can come out. We won't hurt you."
The small creature comes slowly out of the bushes and looks the group over.
"Are you a digimon?" Ken asks looking at the small quivering creature.
"Yu.. yu... yus. I am. Ma names. Tremblemon." He replies.
"Tremblemon. He's a Rookie digimon who's easily frightened and doesn't like to fight." Wormon replies.
"You are so CUTE!" Mimi cried as she tried to grab the little digimon.
Tremblemon jumped away in fear with a yelp.
"Mimi. Can't you see the poor things frightened." Sora said.
"I'm so sorry Tremblemon. I didn't mean to scare you." Mimi said sadly.
"It... It's okay." He said quietly.
"Tremblemon? Could you maybe help us find our friends?" Tai asked anxiously.
"Their name's are Kari and Tk. Their human like us. Their digimon are Patamon and Gatomon." Matt replied.
"Your the first humans I've seen I'm afraid." He replied meekly.
"Where never going to find them." Cody said drooping his head.
"Don't think like that Cody. We'll find em!" Armadilomon said comfortingly.
"Ya. Don't worry about them Cody. They can take care of themselves." Joe said with a smile.
"You really care about these humans don't you?" Tremblemon said looking over the bunch.
"Yes, very much so." Sora said.
"They're our friends." Ken added.
"Well then. I may be able to help you after all. There might be a way to locate your friends, but it might be tough."
"We'll do anything to get our friends back!" Davis shouted.
"Ya! What do we need to do!?" Yolie smiled.
"You must search for the digital palace. The Queen can find your friends. The only way to find the palace is to follow your hearts." Tremblemon said.
"Follow our hearts? How do we do that?" Davis asked.
"Sometimes you just have to have faith." Tremblemon said as he turned and leapt into the bushes.
"HEY WAIT! That's not an answer..." Davis said sadly.
"Maybe we just keep going." Wormon said.
"Buy what if that gets us lost." Biyomon said from her perch on Sora's shoulder.
"That wouldn't be good. We'd be the ones lost and Kari and Tk would have to search for us." Veemon added.
"Ya and there already lost so they'll need to find themselves first then come looking for us. Then they might just get more lost and we'd get more lost and... What was I talking about?" David droned.
Everyone laughed for the first time in a while. They where all worried about their friends and this was a good distraction.
"I say we just go for it! Keep moving and eventually we will find them!" Agumon said happily.
The others agreed and they set off towards an unknown future and a new adventure. They had know idea where they where going or what lie ahead but they all knew that their friends would be at the end off this journey. They walked off with smiling faces and the faith they needed to bring them to their intended situation.
"ON TO THE DIGITAL PALACE!" Davis yelled out and they all cheered.
