(Takuya)

So we eventually got out of the wall and minutes later Koji and JP realized everything was an illusion and their atmosphere turned back to the mall, then minutes later Zoe turned back to her normal self and I admitted I thought she had been dead.

But then the weirdest thing happened. Mercurymon gave us back our spirits saying that this whole thing was only a test. So we have our spirits and a new adventure ahead of us.

Now it's the 5th week of school now and of course; eveythings changed now that we're a digimon team again. 3rd time…this was gonna be a good one—after all the experience we've had. We've grown so much stronger and we're such good friends we'd do pretty much everything for each other.

Pretty soon we told Chizuko—you know, the friend of ours who wasn't a digi-destined about the whole thing and man was she surprised—but was also very excited about the idea….

"Watch it loser." Zakuro Shinsato; the most popular girl in school…and the snobbiest. "You're Kai friend aren't you?" Since Kai was equally popular and beautiful Zakuro demanded constant competition.

"If you're friends with Kai you must be a big loser." Ichigo Fugito; Zakuro's right hand girl she was treated like a slave and to her Zakuro's word was law.

"And those clothes—they are so 5 minutes ago." The ever-expert-in-style Evioko Korai she was obsessed with clothes and in the popular group she handled making sure they in were always wearing the 'in' clothes.

"And gawd you must be eating something wrong—is it me or did you gain some weight—and you have wrinkles below your eyes—not a good sign. Tsk, tsk." One of the worse Miyuko Taedaki was the dieter she was skinnier in than a chopstick and proud of it.

Sora Kitamoto cackled. She was in charge of making reservations at 'cool' restaurants, she was a party expert and kept sure the team was in style—other than clothes wise like who was 'hot' and was 'not'.

"Well at least I don't starve myself to death—or read magazines all day, those sound like losers to me." I almost said.

"Whatever." Dad had taught me to try to ignore them and maybe they'd go away—that sounded childish but sometimes it worked, to stand up to them once in a while working too. That was the advice I gave Tommy and it worked for him.

"Hey ladies…." I scowled under my breath. Guy Okata he was a gangster with a huge attitude and he was such a jerk! The leader of his gangster group he was the coolest around the school. He nudged his little brother who was also his right hand man; Boko Okata.

"Er…hi ladies." He tried to look them straight in the eye.

I could tell Guy was rolling his eyes even though he was wearing sunglasses.

"Lookin good—as usual." Yoshida, the treasurer of the team he held all the stolen money they had; and kept track of which kid was easiest to steal from; one of the reasons I hated this guy was because he always pointed out Tommy.

"Whatcha doin' girls?" The idiot and huge muscle of the group; Jouhaka Ogata.

Shazu Yokaida the up-to-date guy who said was cool and not and Ibaku Koma the stealth expert and 'ultimate' codebreaker laughed and whistled.

"Hey; check it out; dorks, 6:00."

Keitaro Soshima the guy nerd of the school was innocently passing by; he blushed and walked on. What I mean as a 'guy' nerd is that there's another majer nerd in the school but she's a girl; Messora Kohida.

Then of course there was Serena Smith the nature freak who was always considered a dork also.

That was our school; at times boring; at other times maybe even worse….

"Ignore them Keitaro—they're just picking on you cuz they know you won't fight back but if you stood up for yourself for once maybe they wouldn't pick on you so much…" I told him with a smile and a pat on a back.

"O-ok. I guess I'll try."

"Have a good one buddy." I lightly waved and went to meet my friends who were waiting outside under a shady tree on a bench.

"Takuya, over here!" Zoe grinned and waved her arms freely. That was just Zoe for you; cheerful as always.

We talked for a while under our cellphones—which automatically turned into Detectors started to speak.

"Ophanimon!" I whispered.

"You conquered the trap and got out safely; I congratulate you but don't expect the rest to be easy. Myotismon and Lucimon are still dangerous; that was merely a test to see if you had gotten any better; which you have. It seems that every moment you spend together you grow stronger spiritually—you are all true friends…."

We all exchanged happy glances. She was right and we knew—we had known for a long time.

"I can't tell you much about them but they're opening portals to transport between the digital world and the earth. You must stop them if it costs your lives…." Ophanimon explained solemnly. "The humans of the earth can't find out much about the digital world—it would get them too…involved and we could be sucked of our data just to be studied—and before you know I the digital world will be gone…."

"We understand Ophanimon." I said and nodded.

"Yeah." Kai whispered and let out one of her; 'glad-I'm-finally-happy' smiles which I loved. I smile when she smiled. I loved making her feel like we were everlasting friends, I loved seeing her smile like that…it's simple.

"Good luck and I forbid you good bye but keep in mind—this isn't even the beginning." Then she was gone.

"Well pinch me if it's a miracle but I think we just actually had a full conversation with Ophanimon without any interruptions—this is something to remember." Kai looked at all of us.

"How about tonight we go to Da Bomb. You're singing tonight right?" Tommy suggested.

"That's a great idea!" Zoe exclaimed, lightly hugging Tommy.

"You are singing—aren't you?" Koji asked, smiling with excitement.

"Yeah, I am. And today free drinks for parties of 5 or more!" Kai grinned and took a deep breath. "This is gonna be great."

I didn't say it out loud but I knew it was always gonna be great…as long as I had my friends by my side.

Remember to submit a review!

And the reason I introduced all the people at their school is because they will all show up later in the series. Hope you all liked it!
