~Flashback~ Finally, it's the day of the play and everyone is doing last minute tweaks. Takato is re-studying his lines while Guilmon fills his stomach for both of them. Rika is trying to make up as many excuses as possible to get out of it. Renamon is watching Guilmon though she isn't sure why. Jeri is ignoring Rika and letting Henry deal with it.

"Rika, Jeri is not letting you out of this play!" An idea pops into his head. "Actually, I'm sure Jeri would love to take your place."

"What are you. Ahhh, I'll understand if you don't wanna be in it Rika."

"Finally, we understand each other." She is immensely relieved until Jeri gets on her bad side.

"I'll just have to let Takato finish that final romantic scene with me." She doesn't have to wait long before Rika gives her that glare.

"You can't take my part only Renamon and I can do this." She crosses her arms and stands defiantly then walks away to prepare also.

"I don't know how that worked seeing as it's a digimon play and all." He watches Rika stomp off.

"Forget it. The audience is full. Its time for the first act!"

The first act is set in a forest on the way to the villain's castle. MarineAngemon is simply hovering alongside Gallantmon looking as cute as possible for the audience.

"Two moons ago, a awkward darkness enveloped the land. In its stead, it left sickness and madness. The king used all his power to stop this evil from reaching his humble kingdom; alas, his attempt failed miserably but for his noble attempt the evil took the most important thing to the kingdom and left leaving the townspeople untouched, but the king was not so lucky. He alone was inflicted with an incurable disease. The best doctors in the land could not cure this disease and the noble man died heart broken within hours of the curse being cast upon him. Before he died, he requested that Gant be summoned. Once the knight reached his chambers, the king uttered two words. "Save her," before he passed away quietly. Gant begins his quest now unknowing of the dangers that lie ahead."

Behind the scenes, Jeri is simultaneously telling the narrator how great a job that was and motioning for the curtains to rise. Henry is a little curious about something.

"Wasn't this supposed to be a version of Sleeping Beauty?" Jeri quickly shushes him. Henry simply closes his eyes and sighs.

The curtain begins to raise revealing Gallantmon sitting beneath a tree in Shinjuku Park, but for the play, it has been dubbed the Forest of Shadows.

"I see that even the royal pet worries for her highness." MarineAngemon replies with as depressed a sound it can make. "Worry not little friend for I will save princess Sakuya! I, like you, have my reasons also." The lines were coming easy to Takato and Guilmon. with a bit of redness involved. Jeri was offstage silently yelling that knights aren't supposed to blush. It earned at least of few chuckles from the students who knew better than Takato and Rika. Well I suppose we should be on our way." Gallantmon stands and doesn't walk long before he encounters a caped traveler. "Good eve traveler. What brings you to these dark woods?"

"I believe I came here for you. Gant." The traveler looks up and a red sparkle shines from beneath the hood. Suddenly, a claw burst out from under the cloak.

Gallantmon easily defends with his shield. "State thy name traveler!"

"I don't believe you don't remember me. Gant." The traveler spoke in a deep, gruff voice.

"You can't mean." He steps back in surprise.

"That's right Gant. You remember me don't you." A small grin appears on his face as he throws off the cloak revealing his identity. Garurmon.

"Gar!?. Friend!" He hugs his old friend. "How has luck treated you all these many years."

"As you can see I am very alive!" Each reminisce about their travels together and talk for hours on end talking about what has happened in the most recent years. Of course to represent this they just had someone walk across the stage holding a sign with hours pass written on it. "You have my deepest sympathies Gant. I'm not sure if I can help myself, but I will give you my blades which have greatly aided me in my travels."

"Gar. I cannot accept this. It has kept you alive all this time."

"Worry not friend. I can live without it." Gant uneasily accepts the weapon. It is two swords attached at the hilt and emits and eerie glow.

"Nothing I do can repay you for this."

"If you simply survive it will be enough."

"I thank you for aiding me in my quest."

"I bid thee farewell Gant!"

"And I also." The curtains closed and the narrator began again.

"The two warriors left each other to continue their journeys and Gant with a new weapon does not realize what destiny has in store for him."

"It is now time for an intermission!" Gallantmon de-digivolved back into Takato and Guilmon while the audience cleared out to get snacks, use the restroom, etc.

"Nice job for once gogglehead." She smirks and crosses her arms like usual.

"I must agree with Rika. We must take leave now Rika."

"Yeah, Renamon's right. See ya gogglehead." Renamon does her traditional fade out and Rika just walks away.

"See ya Rika. Come on boy, let's eat a little." The two began walking off towards the refreshments table. Takato wasn't aware of the digimon in the nearest tree, but Guilmon could smell her.

{This is a perfect chance to act.} The figure releases a faint wave of a nearly invisible dust over the unknowing tamer and his digimon.

"Rena." Before he could finish he collapsed over Takato who had also fainted moments before

{Ha! To easy.} The figure hops down and reveals her form for the first time. It looks like. Renamon!?
