Nikki- I don't own digimon but I do own the digimon I've created and me!!! Let me clarify something, the thoughts of the characters will be in bold!!! Oh, and the more reviews I get, the faster I write the story!!! You don't have to give me compliments, just give me a review so that I know people actually want to read my story. Thank you!!!

Takuya ran over to Nikki- Nikki, look Nikki!!! Look what I found!!!

Takuya held up some dry and wrinkled plant.

Nikki made a face- What's that?

Takuya smiled shyly- It's mistletoe!!!

Nikki- Why do you have that? It's past Christmas.

Takuya- I couldn't find it yesterday, so I thought maybe today we could.

Nikki- Oh. I get it. I guess it'll be okay to give you my first kiss.

Takuya blushed- Your first kiss?

Nikki- Yeah why not?

J.P.- You haven't have your first kiss?

Nikki- No, of course not.

The image of Nikki and Kouji making out on Christmas night replayed in everyone's head.

Tommy- But then that would mean you lost your first kiss to Kouji on Christmas.

Everyone turn their head towards Tommy, Kouji's eyes almost pop out.

Nikki- WHAT?

Zoe- Meanwhile, let's continue on with the story.





Chapter 3 My Companions

Nikki narrowed her eyes to see the boys better. Takuya? The boys were in front of Nikki and Zoe in no time. One of the boys was around Nikki's age, while the other was quite young. Zoe walked up to the two.

"Why did you two turn back?" Zoe teased.

The taller boy answered while grinning stupidly, " Ha ha, I thought you guys might need help."

" Well too bad for you guys, you guys missed everything." Zoe teased while holding her head high.

" Yeah right, you know we didn't miss anything!" the boy said while smiling.

Zoe pouted her lips, " Well you didn't get to see me spirit evolve!"

" Right, like you could." Both of the boys started laughing loudly.

Zoe ran up to them and started to fight with both of them. J.P. started to walk away from Nikki while mumbling about how he can't spirit evolve, leaving Nikki standing by herself.

Zoe had both of the boys in a headlock when the younger one pointed at Nikki and asked, " Who are you?"

The taller boy gasped, then everyone turned and looked at him. He wiggled out of Zoe's headlock and approached Nikki.

" Hey, aren't you Nikki? What are you doing here?" The taller boy asked.

Nikki almost cried, " Finally, someone I know! I thought you were Takuya!"

Nikki jumped on him and gave him a hug. Takuya blushed a color of bright red. Then Nikki let go of him.

She looked at his face and asked, " What's wrong? Are you okay? You look really red, are you sick?"

Nikki put a hand on his forehand, and another hand on his wrist to check his pulse. But that had only made thing worst, Takuya blushed redder then ever.

Zoe started giggling really loud, " I think I know why Takuya is so red!" she teased, "It's because. mmm."

Before Zoe can finish her sentence, Takuya wiggled out of Nikki's grasp and ran to cover Zoe's mouth. Then he started laughing nervously. Everyone gave the two of them a confusing look. Nikki was standing still when she felt something tug at her cloths. She looked down to find what she would describe as Little- White- Monkey- Looking- Dude- With- A- Out- Of- Style- Belt. The creature looked at her and Nikki did the same.

Then she moved her gaze away from it and asked, " Uh guys, is it me or is there a Little- White- Monkey- Looking- Dude- With- A- Out- Of- Style- Belt tugging on my cloths."

The guys turned and thought that Nikki had described the creature well, in fact, it was everything she had described.

The creature put his hands at his side and scold Nikki, " I am not a White- Monkey- With- A Belt."

"It's Little- White- Monkey- Looking- Dude- With- A- Out- Of- Style- Belt." Nikki corrected him.

"Uh, yes thank you for correcting me. I mean, that's not what I am." The creature was having a fit now.

"Whatever." Nikki said as everyone started walking towards the railroad tracks and away from the creature.

Meanwhile.

Kouji was walking into the forest alone. He's always alone. Let's hope that I can find the forest Terminal quick enough so I can go home. Who was that girl anyways? Kinda weird that she fell from the sky. Oh well, not like I know her or anything. He sighed after his thoughts then went on walking.

Back to Nikki.

Nikki was having fun playing with Tommy, and it seems that Tommy has grown a kind of brother to sister liking for her too. They were trying to chase each other without losing their balance on the railroad tracks. While Takuya was glaring at Zoe for almost spilling his secret, J.P. was having a hard time. He was really upset for not having a spirit but then lighten up only when he realized he was not the only one. Nikki didn't have one either.

Takuya caught up with Nikki and Tommy, " Hey Nikki, How'd you get here anyways?"

Nikki stopped running and stood still. The others caught up with them, eager to hear her story also.

The creature spoke," Yes, that was what I was going to ask you."

" Okay." Nikki replied.

Nikki told them about the first phone call and how her mom wouldn't let her out of the house not even to school. But she paused when she got to the part where she over heard her parents' argument.

" Go on." The creature said.

" Well then I got the phone call again and they asked me to come. And I said okay then the next thing I knew, I was fall through the sky and into this place." Nikki lied.

" Ohh." Everyone said except for Takuya.

They started walking again. The whole time Takuya kept his eyes on Nikki. There were a few flaws in her story, and he could tell that she wasn't telling them the truth because he had years of experience as her friend. But he didn't say anything. He knew she had a reason for not telling.

Nikki turned to the creature and asked," So uh, what's- your-name, tell me about this place."

" My name is Bokomon and this place is the digital world. Long ago the world was a peaceful place." Bokomon said, he did not notice that Nikki was playing with Tommy and wasn't really paying attention to him." Until the evil Cherubimon took over and drove many digimons mad and turn our world into chaos. The only way to save the world is to restore the factor codes, and that were you guys come in, legendary warriors to save the day."

Bokomon turned to look at Nikki and found she wasn't paying attention," Were you listening?"

Nikki topped playing and turned to Bokomon," Yeah, you said something about an evil Cherry Ruby right?"

"No, no, no, it's Cherubimon, not the evil cherry ruby!!!" Bokomon yelled.

"An evil cherry ruby, I wonder what it taste like!" another creature said.

Bokomon grabbed it by the pants and let go so that it would hit him again.

"Oww." The creature yelled.

Nikki looked at the creature, " I don't suppose your name would be Yellow- Bunny-with-Red-Pants would it?" "I'm Neemon!" Neemon replied.

"Well, at least your name is better than Bokomon." Nikki said as she folded her arms behind her head.

"Why?" Neemon asked.

" I don't know? It's just that Bokomon reminds me of a book worm." Nikki answered.

Everyone started to imagine a worm with Bokomon's head reading a book. Then they sweat-dropped.

"It is not." Bokomon protested.

"It's so." Nikki said.

They continue to argue all the way to the forest ahead. The gang had decided to make camp since it was really late. Nikki and Takuya went to gather wood while the others tried to find food and water, but was unsuccessful. Takuya and Nikki came back with wood. Nikki was about to light fire when Takuya stopped her.

"This is a job for a gentlemen." He said while pointing to him self.

Nikki giggled and thought. Gentlemen? Yeah right.

"Fine, knock yourself out." Nikki backed away for Takuya to work on the fire.

Takuya tried for almost an hour, but still the fire wouldn't start.

Nikki giggled," Why don't you let me try?"

"Fine." Takuya hand the sticks to Nikki.

Nikki piled up the sticks nicely and took out a lighter from his pocket. Takuya jumped up and started having a fit.

"YOU HAD A LIGHTER?

"And a pocket knife too!!!" Nikki grinned at Takuya.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU HAD A LIGHTER?" He yelled.

Nikki replied coolly," You're the one who wanted to try."

Afterwards everyone fell asleep around the fire. Everyone except for Takuya and Nikki. Nikki was using a stick to poke the fire to keep it burning.

Takuya walked over to her," Hey Nikki?"

Nikki," Yeah?"

"Were you lying to us earlier, about how you got here?" Takuya asked.

Nikki widen her eyes," How'd you know?"

Takuya smiled proudly," I've had experience as your friend, don't forget, I've known you since first grade."

Nikki smiled then told him the whole story. Takuya didn't get some of it.

"So what does your dad mean by 'Be grateful to them for letting us raise her like our own'?" Takuya asked, "I mean, Kari is your birth mother right? You had pictures."

"That's what I'm going to find out, but as far as I know, Kari is my birth mother." Nikki answered.

Takuya put one arm around Nikki," Well, whatever the truth is, I'll be the first one to help you find it."

"Thanks Takuya." Nikki smiled.





Zoe- Well that's it for now. The next chapter won't be up for a while cause Nikki is going on vacation. Please give her more reviews so that she'll keep on writing!!!



Nikki- I can't believe you Kouji, you stole my first kiss!

Kouji- Why would I want your first kiss? I bet someone spiked my drink.

Nikki screaming- What a lame excuse! And don't even try to blame it on J.P., he might do stupid things, but this is way over the edge!!! Right J.P.?

Everyone turn to look at J.P. as he whistled nervously.

Nikki- J.P., how could you?

Kouji- Be quiet, I'm a victim too, but you don't see me whining as much as you do.

Tommy- But Kouji, you didn't mind that much because you told me you have a crush on Nikki!

Everyone turned and stared at Tommy and Kouji.

Nikki- Why Kouji, I had no idea.

Kouji blushed really red and ran after Tommy with a knife.

Zoe- Remind me to not tell Tommy my secrets anymore, he'll just be telling everyone else.

Takuya talking sadly to the mistletoe- What happened to my kiss?
