It wasn't hard. A phone call or two and Yomato Ishida was out the door. He locked the door behind him and was out of his apartment building. It had been nearly 11 years since their adventures in the digital world. He had moved to America from Japan, when he was 19 and in the three years he had been there he had managed to become a very popular daredevil and stunt double in movies.

He was now 22 and with a phone call from his child-hood friend "Izzy" Izumi, he was planning a trip back to Japan. According to Izzy all the other digi-destined were planning a meeting. It was true that he had friends in here in America, but he would never let the memories of his childhood friends' linger far from his thoughts. He was overly excited to see his friends, after all these were the people who had the most influence on him and who had molded him into the person he was.

Throughout the digital world, each one of the children had obtained his/her crest, which symbolized their greatest trait. Each trait had rubbed off on him making him an even better person that he thought possible.

Tai Kamiya their leader proudly wore the crest of courage, which he proved worthy of time and time again. Although he rushed headstrong into battle, there was no doubt he was always there for his friends ready to face any obstacle.

Sora Takenouchi was the beholder of the crest of love, which fitted her perfectly as she always watched over the others and cared for them. She had been given the crest because she needed to know love, due to the tattered relationship she had with her mother.

Joe Kido was the bearer of the crest of reliability and had always proven himself reliable indeed in times of great desperation, realizing that fear is the only weakness he would ever possess and that being reliable meant letting those around you know you could be depended on, no matter what the circumstance.

Izzy was the carrier of the crest of knowledge and would always be proud of what it stood for even if it had been the reason that he sometimes ended up in tight and dangerous situations.

Kari, Tai's younger sister held the crest of light as she had always managed to see the good in everyone and lead them out of the darkness, refusing to ever condemn anyone, with the exception of evil beings such as Myotismon and the like.

T.K, Matt's younger brother was the obtainer of the crest of hope and Matt would always remember how T.K had given everyone hope in the digital world even when everything seemed impossible.

"Mimi, ah Mimi," Matt thought, "the holder of the crest of sincerity, I have not even fathomed the idea of forgetting you." He remembered how he had planned to confess his feelings to her, but had never been able to. He had found her to be the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on and had cared for her a great deal. After all these years; he was sure; she would only remember him as Matt, just as an old friend who she would be happy to see. "What if she's in love with someone?" Matt thought, "I won't be able to take that."

As he boarded his plane he thought of his homeland and how much it must've changed. He figured he should get some sleep, as he was tired. He closed his eyes, thought of Mimi once more, visualized her face and in a few minutes was engulfed to the world of sleep.

"Sir, we've arrived in Japan." Stated an intruding voice.

"What," Matt asked as he opened his eyes and became aware of the world around him, "uh... thanks."

With that he departed the plane and headed to Sora's house since they had agreed to meet there.

"Place really has changed" he stated aloud.

"Well, pretty smart for stating the obvious" said a familiar voice.

Without turning Matt knew it was Tai. "I don't even know if I want to see what you look like, I, mean when we kids I thought you gonna grow up to be a circus freak, and I'm stickin' to the belief, that you fulfilled my thoughts of the future." He said it with a grin, and then turned around and they burst out laughing.

" I don't see what's so funny."

"Sora!" Matt screamed hugging her.

"Good to see you too Matt" she said as they hugged.

"Geeze, Matt, not even back for ten minutes with your fiends and already trying to steal my girlfriend!" Tai screamed.

Matt pulled away and looked back and forth between the two and asked the question.

"Yes we are." Sora told him

"Well congratulations!" he said

"On what?" asked a feminine voice.

"Kari!" Matt exclaimed as he rushed over to hug her.

"And now my little sister!" Gee, man you are weird" Tai stated.

They all stood there for a minute talking about old times and eventually another voice appeared and just said, "it's been a while huh?"

Matt turned. He was overcome with joy as he hugged his little brother and practically squeezed the life out of him.

"God if I would've known my ribs would be crushed, I would've stayed home" he laughed.

Matt pulled away and only said, "I've missed you T.K."

"Yeah, same here, but I didn't try to hug you dead!" he yelled.

"Well, well if it isn't the holder of the crest of friendship" a voice said targeting Matt.

He spun on his heel and locked arms with Izzy "and if it isn't Mr.Know-it-all" Matt bellowed.

"I saw your stunts on TV last week during the "Greatest Daredevil" show!" he pointed out.

"Yeah," Matt said as he put his hands behind his neck.

"So, how has everyone been lately?" Izzy asked, showing his curious side, which was made him so smart yet put him in danger, because he always had to know about everything.

"Well you know" Matt said, "Hey, I have a question... what's everyone doing for a living?"

"I teach at Odaiba Elementary," said Kari

"I' a pro soccer player" Tai said, running his hand through his hair "But you, probably knew that."

"Oh yeah kids in America, are all talking, about you." Matt said.

Apparently Tai didn't detect the sarcasm, because the next thing to pop out of his mouth was "Really!"

"I'm the vice manager of my moms flower shop." Stated Sora

"Izzy's obviously a computer technician so what do you do T.K?" Matt pointed out.

"Oh, I, I'm an actor." T.K said

"Wow an actor!" Matt exclaimed, "I'm proud of you."

"Gee thanks!"

"Well, guess we should get going, Mimi couldn't make it and Joe is in Africa." Sora said.

"Africa?" Matt asked

"Yeah he's over there as a doctor." Kari said.

They began walking and after 10 minutes of walking through a city Matt hadn't seen for years, a scream was heard. Matt took off before anyone could follow him. He heard a scream and if a woman happened to be in trouble he would do what ever was in his free will and power to save her.

He rounded a corner into an alley. Matt hadn't heard the scream come from this way but knew that his instincts were right. He ran down the alley rounded another corner and sure enough there she was, a man had her on the ground and was ripping off her pink dress. Matt ran as fast as he could, spun the big man around and punched him square in the face knocking him down. He got back up and spit out some blood and claimed "I'll make you've wished you had minded your own business, punk!"

He smelled of alcohol and was a good five times the size of Matt. "Look, I don't want to hurt you but I will if I have to."

The man laughed at the thought "You hurt me! You must be more drunk than I am!" and with that threw a swing. Now having been a daredevil and stunts man Matt easily avoided the hit and with one blow to the gut he collapsed.

Matt stood there looking at the unconscious man while the woman was still on the ground he proclaimed, "you'll be safe n..." he was cut off as her arms wrapped around him from behind and she pulled him close to her.

"Thank you!" she said as she cried, "Thank you Yomato Ishida" she whispered into his ear.

"How do you know my name?" he asked startled

"You know who I am."

He didn't want to play these games. He spun around and looked at her beautiful face and eyes red from crying. He looked at her and then he knew. "Mimi?"
