The dark sky hovered gently over Lexington as she walked home from her nightly gymnastics class. Usually, the streets of tokyo were filled with young couples, but tonight.. it was abandoned, except for a stray animal here and there. The stars reflected dimly off Lexington's small framed glasses as came into veiw of a bus stop.

Flopping down onto the metal bench, she pulled a small plastic purple case from her jean's leg pocket. Opening the case, she flicked through the digimon cards she'd been collecting for over 3 months now. She looked gently at her newer cards, that had just been released.

One, was a white dragon, with a red mark between it's sapphire blue eyes. A pair of golden wings webbed beatifully behind it's muscular, but feminie body. A set of golden claws decorated each massive claw, and a long tail rested behind it.

This was Chikaimon. Lexington of course loved the beauty of this Digimon, but, wasnt all that in to the 'pretty' digimons.

The next card, was that of panda printed dragon. It's body was twice as muscular as Chikaimon's, but not as beautiful. His rough scales were covered in scars from the tip of his slit-nostril nose, to the end of his spiked tail. A pair of emerald eyes glared out of the card, giving him an evil look. His black claws looked chipped, as if hed been around for a long time.

This was Pandamon. He, and he alone, was her favorite of all digimon cards. Sure, he wasnt the prettiest one, but she had a sort of.. attraction to him. Not that she loved him, just that shed met him somewhere before.

Lexington's amthyst eyes darted to the road, only to be blinded by the light from what she thought was the reflector light of a night time bike rider's handlebars.

She shut her eyes and waited for it to pass.

What happened, wasn't what she expected. She began to feel like she was falling. Her stomach jumped up to her throat, and her heart seemed to sink to her stomach. She tried to open her eyes, to see what was happening, but she couldn't.

Lexington jumped suddenly, her eyes scanning the dark area around her. A fire flickered off to her right, illuminating the pale face of another girl.

"Wh-who are you?" Lexington asked meekly, staring up at the girl's grey blue eyes.

"The names Cassandra, or just Cassy... you?"

"Can i trust you?" Lexington asked coldly. She saw the girl nod, and got a glimpse of golden blonde hair. "The names Lexington.. Lexi for short.." she said calmly, sitting up and looking at Cassy.

For a moment, Cassy disappeared into the shadows, leaving Lexington alone. She glanced around, realizing she was no longer in Tokyo. Her left eye twitched, as she realized, much to her dismay, she was no longer wearing glasses, or her usual overalls.

She got up, and walked closer to the fire, looking down at her new attire. A pair of bubblegum pink velvet pants swayed in the light breeze. A white tank top did the same, slightly restrained be a bubble gum pink velvet tank top the rested over it like a jacket.

"Hungry?" A bowl of what looked like chilli appeared under Lexington's nose.

She looked up to see Cassy, smiling sweetly at her. For the first time, she got a good look at the other girl.

She wore a pair of black pants, that got wider towards the bottom, then, cufed around her ankle, causing it to puff out over the sides of her black tennis shoes. Her black t-shirt was covered by a short black jacket, that only reached about to her ribs. the white edges shone dimly in the growing light. A pair of goggles rested fitfully on top of her golden blonde hair, that was pulled into a high ponytail by a red hair tie, and reached down to the small of her back.

"No, Im good.. Where, are we?" Lexington asked, gently pushing the bowl back towards Cassy.

"Digital world" Cassy answered bluntly, raising a thin eyebrow.

"The digital world? You mean.. with digimon?"

"Yeah!" Cassy smiled, as a large white heap rustled slightly next to the fire.

Lexington jumped, looking from the snow colored heap to the blonde, who was still smiling.

"Whats that?" She asked coldly, pointing at the heap.

"Thats Chikaimon, my digital partner!" Cassy belled as a pair of sapphire orbs peered gently at Lexington.

"Ch-chikaimon?" Lexington stuttered, looking around for her digimon cards. Finally finding them, she fumbled through them and found her Chikaimon card. The picture of Chikaimon had disappeared! "What the!?" Lexington paled. All her cards had no pictures, not even status!

"B-but.. Th-this is impossible! I just fell asleep at the bus stop, this is just a dr-"

"A dream?" Cassy said smoothly, cutting the panicing oriental girl off. "I think not.. You were chosen as a digidestined, to help save this virus infected land!" a certain seriousness rang in the blonde's voice as she lectured Lexington on what she ws doing in the digital world.

"S-so, if what your saying is true.. should'nt i have a partner?" Lexington cut Cassy off, halfway through the lecture.

Cassy sighed deeply, irratatably smoothing her golden hair as the sun began to rise behind her. "You'll get one sooner or later!"
