H-4-T: Hey everybody!
Well after a formal e-mail (in which I probably made myself appear to be an idiot or a spoilt rich girl) to Fruitloop Trooper I am able, with Fruitloop's permission, to write a sequel to her story 'The Search for Light'. If you don't read it before you read this, you may get a little confused. The first section in italics came from chapter fifteen of 'The Search for Light' and all I have done is copied and pasted the text. I don't own that bit.
Come to think of it, I don't own Digimon either.
Oh yeah and IceWolf17 has written a sequel to this too called 'The Search for Courage'.
This is my version.

Mimi put Miko to bed. Her beautiful daughter was exhausted. After Venom Myotismon was destroyed, people started to come back to the city. The Emperor himself even thank the Digidestined. Then came the reporters, they were celebrities over night. Mimi just wished her husband was here to see it.
"It isn't fair!" Mimi thought, "He worked so hard for this day, and now he isn't even here to see it."
The former Dark Knights had now become honorary Digidestined. Matt had picked up where Tai had left off, leading them. He was quite good at it, not as good as Tai had been, but...
Mimi walked over to where her mail had been lying for the past few hours. She smiled as she opened the first letter. It was from Sora. A picture from her tour. It was her turn now to travel around the island, telling their story to reporters, talk show hosts, anyone who would listen, and that was plenty.
Mimi opened the next letter. It was from Kari. Mimi eagerly opened it. They hadn't heard form Kari for over a month now. She just left, no explanation at all, just something about the Digiworld.
Mimi opened the letter and read it. Her eyes went wide. "What? Tai?"

"Will you stop doing that?" a young woman yelled. "Geez, it's bad enough that I've been looking after you for the past month, and now you are just pushing me over the limit!"
"What can I say?" an older boy asked. "I'm a tease." He struck a pose and she raised an eyebrow at him.
"Come on," she said, turning on her heel and walking off.
"Why?"
"Elecmon says dinner is ready," she called over her shoulder, not stopped or slowing, "and you wouldn't want to miss that, would you?"
"Of course not," he said, rushing after her, "as long as you didn't partake in the cooking of it." She slapped him playfully on the arm.
"Grow up!"
"In fact I think I grew up a lot faster than you did," he answered. She scowled at him sarcastically.
"Just get inside," she said, pushing him through the doors they had walked to.

"Iz, are you sure there's no way to get back there?" Mimi asked, slightly exasperated.
"Yes, I'm certain, Mimi," he said softly. "I'm sorry. And how do you even know that the letter is from Kari? It could just be a hoax. People do that. Some people are that sad. I'm sorry, I know how much you want him back, but you saw the body afterwards. You know as well as I do that Digimon get reborn, we don't." She lowered her head.
"Yeah, I'm sorry Izzy," she apologised. "But I just read the letter and didn't think. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept you up this late. I'll…I'll just be leaving."
"You don't have to," he called after her, even though he hadn't wanted to say it. She stopped and turned to face him.
"I'd love to stay but Miko's in bed and if she wakes up and finds me gone…" She let out a heavy sigh. "Night Izzy."

Takeru was, yet again, moping around his house doing nothing in particular. He was eighteen in a few months and so was Hikari. Their birthday fell on the same day, but Hikari was older by a few hours.
He never forgotten that.
And he never would.

H-4-T: A VERY short prologue, but I want to get this story moving. More details will come about the other characters as the story progresses. I promise I will try to put as many characters in the next one as I can!s
