Kari awakes to her alarm. Feeling abit more sleep, she tries to shakes her head in attempt to full wake up. Gatomon stirs. Kari gently move Gatomon so she can get out of bed. 'I wonder what mom made for breakfast? Hope it's etible! I wonder if Tai's up yet?' Kari grins knowing that his not. 'I'll get ready first, then make Tai panick! Now what to wear?'

Kari get to her feet and begins to look through her dresser. She takes out different colored T-Shirts and long sleave shirts. Finding a yellow T-shirt, she begins to look among the short and blue jeans. Choosing a pair of light blue jean. Has she finishes changing, she begins to put the other cloths back into the dresser.

Gatomon just continues to sleep.

Kari heads for Tai's room. Tai's still asleep. 'You'd think he'd learn! Now how to freak out a sleeping Tai?' As she moves closer to the bed. Tai's parnter was visiting the Digital World and will be back by tomorrow night. Kari stops and takes a deep breath, and crys out, "Tai your late for school and you don't have time to eat!"

"WHAT!" Yells Tai as he bolts out of his bed and out of his room. Wearing only a pair of boxers. Kari just giggles and Tai finally figures out what Kari did. "Ha ha, very funny." Tai glares at his bady sister. Kari leaves to let her brother change.

"I thought so." She says as closes the door. Her mother just finishs putting breakfast onto the table.

"Sorry about breakfast but your father and I in a hurry. Remember that we'll be back in two weeks and keep out of trouble, ok?" Kari nods as a spoonful of ceral in her mouth. She forgot that her parents were going on a trip. As her mother leaves with some bags, Tai coming out of his room.

"Bye mom, say bye to dad for me!" Tai waves bye to his mother. Tai's dress in his uniform. His backpack carried to the door and dropped by the door. Kari has just looking on. Then something in her mind tries to connect something by looking at Tai. 'I feel like I'm missing something. But what?' Tai looks over and says, "I know I'm looking good this more but why the odd face?"

Kari blinks. "Just trying to remember something. Just can't image what."

Tai just decides to sit and eat. Kari finishs her breakfast. Her bowl and spoon are put into the sink. She looks thoughtful. 'What am I forgetting? Maybe I should talk to T.K. or Davis? Davis! That Boy! That BOY! That Boy had a pair of goggles, just like Tai had and Davis has!'

A knock on the apartment door. Kari blinks and move to open the door. Davis stands there, grinning at Kari. Demiveemon on Davis's head. "Ready to good Kari?" Davis asks.

Kari just nods and says to Tai, "I'm going to school! See you later!" As Kari shoulders her backpack and walks out the door.

-----------------

Ranma walks on the side walk. Thinks about yesterday late afternoon.

'''''

Ranma carries a large pack on his back. He walk in the back complaining about how heavy it is. The two older men begin to rant on and on about how it his repondablity to look after the packs.

Ranma thinks about the just shakes his head about the "Training" trip. 'It's not like I asked them to come along! I just wanted to get away for a bit. First Akane shows up, then pops and Mr. Tendo tries to help get us together. Then Nabiki shows up with those cameras. Next thing I know I'm waiting on Akane to make some thing as the three are eating food I MADE for myself! Then when I refused to eat any of the "food" I get yelled at by the pops and Mr. Tendo. Akane mallets me to the river. Then Nabiki wants me to PAY for warm water! For two weeks! I didn't even want them to tag along!'

As they near Nerima, Ranma begins to think about those monsters in the mists that have been showing up lately. 'Those monsters just appear out of thin air! I know that I've been luck with the three I faced off with. Where do they come from? And just how many more are there to come?' Ranma is startled out of his thoughts on hearing a war cry of, "Ranma Saotome prepare to die!"

"Oh, hey Ryoga." Ranma says. "Come on lets get the over with. I want to go back to the Tendo's to have a good meal and warm bath."

The backpack had be set down onto the ground. Ranma takes up a fight stance. Ryoga swipes at him with his umbrella. Ranma dodges easily and with a quick punch and kick combo Ryoga is sent flying into a near wall. People around the two have already watch from a distance.

Nabiki has alright taking a few bets, the bets are about how long before Ryoga either runs in the wrong direction or on Ranma knocking him out cold or when Akane will mallet Ranma for "picking on" Ryoga.

Three minutes later Ryoga is sent flying over a few buildings and then Akane sents Ranma flying to the Tendo's, with a yell of, "RANMA NO BAKA". After landing not in the pond this time, Ranma hears foots steps and then see a young kid with goggles staring at him. Ranma blinks. As he get up he wonders what the kid's doing at the Tendo's. "Sorry about that. Hi, I'm Ranma Saotome!" After Ranma says that the kid just stares.

Kasumi came to check on to see what's going on. "Oh my! Ranma it's nice to see you home. I'll go prepare a bath for you. Takato could you look after the supper?" The kid, a.k.a. Takato, blinks and looks at Kasumi and then nods. With a final look at Ranma Takato heads for the kitchen.

"Takato will be staying here for a while. He's been kind even to help me with supper." Ranma look surprised that. 'This kid must be really special if Kasumi's will to take him as a guest without Mr. Tendo's approval. I wonder how well he cooks, must be better then Akane's!'

Kasumi had already left Ranma to his thoughts. Ranma heads to the guest room to undress. As he climbs the stairs he wonders what the others' reaction will be to Takato. It doesn't take too long for him to enter the room and get undress. Ranma notes that Kasumi must have head back to the kitchen. Ranma has a quick bath.

After Ranma has finish drying and changing his cloth, he heads to the living room. The t.v. is on and Takato's watching it.

"Hey." Ranma says. Takato looks over and replies, "Hi, my names Takato Matsuki." Ranma looks at Takato expecting a question about how he fell out of the blue. Not get any questions for Takato continues to watch t.v.

Then comes the call he's been dreading. "Kasumi we're home!" Mr. Tendo crys out. Takato and Ranma get up off the floor and head to the door. Ranma notes how everyone looks at him, soon Akane begins to glare. The two old men begin to belittle Ranma for skipping out on carrying the back pack back home. Ranma's protests fall on deaf ears. Takato just stands there looks on with a sweat drop and he notes how big the pack is.

"I can't believe your suppose to carry that anywhere Ranma!" Explains Tatako. Everyone stops and turns to Takato. Takato begins to get nervous. "I mean look at it! It's huge! It must weigh like a ton! How do you expect Ranma to lug it around!" For the first time in like two year Ranma finds that someone was willing to stand up for him. Even if Takato doesn't know how things are done around this house, it made Ranma feel a bit better.

Then Akane glares at Takato. "And what are you doing here? And who do you think your protecting!" Akane says coldly and points at Takato. "If your willing to defend that PERVERT then you must be one TOO! I can't believe you tried to take advantage of my sister's good will!" With that Akane turns and pick out her pack out of the larger one.

Akane growls and heads up to her room. Takato looks around, feeling cornered, then Kasumi comes out to find out what was going on. She greets her father and Genma. Nabiki looks to where Akane had stumped off to. Ranma justs looks at Takato, who still looks pale. Placing a comforting hand on his shoulder and says, "Don't worry about me, I can take it after all I'm Ranma Saotome heir to the School of anything goes martial art!" Takato looks at Ranma and blinks. As the was the old men and Nabiki had move to go clean up for supper. Kasumi looks over at the back pack and then begins to unpack it. Takato steps to help her out, but Kasumi shakes her head and says, "Takato maybe you should go and get our friends ready for supper?" Takato looks to the Dojo and then nods, "I'll do that, but don't you need any help?" He looks at Kasumi and she looks at him, but before she could say anything Ranma says, "I'll help Kasumi, so don't worry!" Takato looks at Ranma then nods and head to the Dojo.

After Takato's gone, Ranma helps Kasumi. 'That kid seems to be a nice guy. Hope Akane view changes soon. I wonder who his friends are? If their in the Dojo, then maybe their martial artists? I hope so. I need new people to spar with!.' Soon Ranma and Kasumi finish up. Kasumi heads to the kitchen. Ranma heads to the table. Everyone begins to come into the living room to eat, with the expection of Takato and his friends.

Then as everyone has finish sitting a childish voice can be heard, "Why couldn't we eat in yard again Takato? I like eating out side! Can we go to a park and eat there tomorrow?" Then another voice can be hear, "Are there going to be cream puffs for dinner?" Then Takato's voice can be heard. "We'll see about it tomorrow, ok Guilmon? And Calamon I'll make you cream puffs for lunch tomorrow, ok?" Then both voice together cry, "Ok! Takato!"

As Takato enters from the kitchen with food in his hands. Then comes something that even have the other residents of the house hold stare. Behind Takato comes a red dragon-looking monster and flying around is a cute white monster with purple marks. Then the red dragon looks at everyone and says, "Hello! I'm Guilmon."

Kasumi take the food from Takato and moves it onto the table. Takato looks nervous. "This is my best friend and parnter Guilmon. The white one's Calamon. Their both Digimon. Digimon short for Digital Monster. Where I come from Digimon live in the Digital World. And I'll answer questions after supper." Takato blurts out and looks really nervous at everyone. Calamon settles on Takato head. Calamon's ears grow shorter.

Kasumi begins to eat. Everyone begins to follow Kasumi's example. There was no food war between Ranma and Genma. Everything was quiet. Calamon was move from Takato's head to a space on the table. Eating from Guilmon's plate, who was on Takato's left. Nabiki looking really hard at both Takato and the two Digimon.

After everyone finishs eating supper. Guilmon and Calamon head to the Dojo, something about wood watching or something. Takato help Kasumi clear off the table. Nabiki just watches Takato like a hawk. The old men just stare at the t.v. Akane glares at the dojo. Ranma just sits there thinking. 'Now what?' Over and over again. After that table was cleared everyone but the Digimon sat at the table.

"Ok, so where do you come from?" Nabiki begins the questioning Takato. "A different reality." Takato answers. "And you're here in this reality, why?" She asks again. "I kind of wasn't watching where I was going, and Guilmon with Calamon just jumps into the portal that I fell in."

Everyone just blinks as they take in this information. Then Akane asks really coldly, "And how long have you been living at this house?" Takato pales at Akane's tone. "Today is the four day." Again in the same tone ask, "You and your "friends" have been here with just my sister, right?" Takato just nods. Then Akane slow gets up and leaves the room to head to hers. The old men had gotten a bottle of sake and begins to drink it.

Nabiki looks thoughtful as Akane leaves. "So, what can your parnters do?" Takato looks at Nabiki and says, "Guilmon's my parnter. Calamon doesn't have a parnter or Tamer as we call prefer to be called. And Guilmon's attacks are Pyro Sphere and Rock Breaker. Guilmon's a virus type and is a rookie." Ranma looks surpised and ask, "Can he make people sick?" Nabiki snorts and says, "Not that kind of virus. Like a computer virus, right?" Takato nods and adds, "Three different types vaccine, data, and virus. A virus type has an advantage over a data type, and a data type has an advantage over a vaccine type, and a vaccine type has an advantage over a virus type. To make up for it, I can use these." Takato shows a few of his card from his deck. "All I have to does is swipe one of these into my D-ark and Guilmon gets a boost. It could be speed or a different attack he doesn't have." Takato takes back the cards and pockets them in his deck pack that hangs off his belt. "Ok, but you talked about Guilmon being a rookie. What does that mean?" Nadiki asks. "There are different power levels first is fresh, in-training, rookie, champion, ultamate, and lastly mega." Takato replies. Ranma looks thoughful. "So mega is the most powerful?" Takato nods.

Ranma looks at night sky. "I'm head for bed. I got school tomorrow. See you in the morning." Takato and Nabiki says, "Good night."

As Ranma head to the guest room he looks tired. 'Now what? I just hope things don't get too chaotic around here. Know my luck they will.'

Ranma unrolls the mat and falls to sleep.

''''

Ranma looks around. He finally realises that he's not walking with Akane. Then Ranma hears a familiars sound. A bike stops on his head. Knowing the owner, he says, "Hey Shampoo. Long time no see."

Soon Shampoo embrass Ranma in her usual fashine. As Ranma try to get out of the hug. Shampoo speaks out, "Shampoo messes Airen, he take Shampoo on date, yes? We go now on date?" Ranma gets free of Shampoo. The Amazon looks at Ranma and he says, "Not right now Shampoo! I got to go to school! Bye!" Ranma runs to school and never looks back.

He enters the school and heads straight to the class room. Being early he falls asleep at his desk.
