"I can't believe I made this train." Raven gasped as she collapsed into the first empty seat she came to as the train started moving.

Terriermon rolled off her shoulder and onto the window seat beside her. Raven smiled at him. He was really getting good at that "doll act."

"You can unfreeze now." she told trying to hold back a laugh because of the way he relaxed himself.

"Sometimes I wish that the whole world knew about digimon so that I wouldn't have to that anymore." He complained.

"Yeah but you know what would happen.." Raven started.

"People would find a way to harness the digimon's power and take over the world." The two said in unison. "Plus people would go to the Digital World like it was a vacation place." Raven added.

Raven looked out the window as the train entered a small tunnel. The entire area around the train was black and that gave passengers the ability to see themselves in the window.

Now she stared past Terriermon at her reflection for a few seconds before she noticed something was wrong. The train should have exited the tunnel by now. A bit worried she looked to her digimon.

"Terriermon?" She asked quietly. No answer. "Yo Terriermon?" She asked again but still got no answer.

Turning her attention to the rest of the train car Raven realized that something was wrong. Nobody was moving. It was as if they were frozen in time. A business man was in mid-sip of his morning coffee and the conductor had frozen while reaching out to check a ticket.

"Is anybody there?" she asked timidly hoping to hear the reply of any person, but nothing. All was quiet except for the sound of the train wheels moving forward on the tracks.

"The train." Raven exclaimed, surprised that she had not thought of that earlier. She pushed Terriermon aside and pressed her nose up against the old window of the train. The train was moving right along at the speed it always seemed to but when she looked ahead Raven couldn't see any hint of the light at the end of the tunnel.

Bringing her face farther away from the window she saw something about the window. It wasn't displaying her reflection. Instead it was showing a color picture of a boy. He looked about nine years old, maybe ten. From what little she could see of his red and white t-shirt it looked like he had been in a gun fight or something. There were two big holes on the shirt and slight smudges of dirt with blood.

His face reflected the same message as his shirt for their were a couple cuts and bruises scattered by dried blood on his front. The boy's blondish brown hair was messed up and cut in several mismatched places.

The boy's facial expression was one of complete nothingness. It displayed no emotion whatsoever. If anything it gave the impression of sadness or reserved anger.

Raven studied the ghostly body for a few seconds before recognizing it. "It's him."

"Happy birthday!"

Raven smiled as she took the gift wrapped sloppily in his typical style from him. It was wrapped with blue paper and a red bow on top.

"What is it? Another pokemon card?" she asked shaking the present a bit.

"Oh you'll see." The boy drew a small circle in the sand of the beach beside them and watched as the tide rolled in erasing all traces of it ever being there.

"A pokemon action figure?" she asked again shaking the box harder.

"It's not pokemon. Now will you just open it up?" He said with mock frustration.

"Okay, okay fine I'm opening it." she tore at the packaging. Inside was a box that she had looked at on ebay and many times but never actually seen one this close.

"A D-Arc!" without hesitation she opened up the package to reveal her D-Arc. "Thank you sooo much!" she wanted to throw caution to the wind and enclose him in a tight hug but resisted. He could never know how she truly felt.

Raven brought her hand out and touched the window. It was him. Maybe he had finally came back for her, after all these years.

"Christian...... Christian Swearign." She removed her hand from the window and felt a strange surge of electricity flow through her body.

"Beverly."

Raven looked around her. The train was out of the tunnel and several stops ahead of what it had been when she entered that time warp. Looking down she saw her digimon looking up into her eyes with genuine concern. What had happened back there? Well whatever it was she didn't want to tell Terriermon. It might make him worry about her again.

"I'm fine." She brought her gaze away from her right and looked out the window. Only a few more stops and they would be in Boston. Today was turning out to be interesting.

"Interesting, very interesting." The neon green eyes said to himself. He had just finish reading the results and they were interesting to say the least.

"So can we...?" Red eyes trailed off.

"Yes. Initiate Plan A23."

"Finally.... I mean yes sir." There was defiant relief in red eyes voice.

"There's no turning back now Veemon." Green eyes added before drifting off, leaving the digimon to his work.

"There is defiantly no turning back now." Veemon turned back to the control panel he was stationed at. "Plan A23 activated."
