Author's Notes- Mad props to my one reviewer.

Chris woke up the next morning thinking about what a great dream he'd had the night before.

"Bunnies with pants and guns for hands. Where do I come up with this stuff?"

He got out of bed and took a look around his room. Nothing strange- Except the thing from his dream sleeping on his floor.

"Woah! It's real- What was it?- Terriermon! Terriermon's real!"

It might have been the dancing or the shouting that woke Terriermon up.

"Whassat?" He slurred, rubbing his eyes.

Chris's response was to poke him in the stomach.

"Ow! What am I, the Pillsbury Doughboy? No touchy."

"Sorry. It's just... You're real. And that makes me a- Watchacallit?- A Digidestined. And that means I really have to help the digiworld."

"Yeah. I told you this so you wouldn't act confused."

And then he remembered everything they'd talked about the night before.

Terriermon sat on Chris's bed and gestured for him to follow. Normally he would have been indignant at being offered his own bed, but this was different.

"All right. I guess I'll start with who I am. I'm Terriermon. I'm what's called a Digimon, short for Digital Monster. I'm from a place called the Digital World. The dfigital World wass created from data deleted from computers. Years ago, all Digimon were simple intelligence programs on a computer. We were made by a group of college students for a project, but once they didn't need us anymore, they deleted us, and we ended up in the already-formed Digital World.

Those early programs eventually evolved into what we are today, cute ears and all. Got me so far?"

Chris nodded.

"Good. Now for why I'm here. See, there are a group of humans chosen by the Sovereigns- Digimon gods- that have a special bond with Digimon. They all have a partner Digimon, or sometimes more than one. The reason for that is that sometimes, some stupid Digimon goes on a rampage and gains power. Eventually, they get stronger than the Sovereigns and threaten the Digiworld itself- Which is why you're here. The bond between a human and a Digimon makes them both stronger. A Digimon with a partner can be ten times stronger than one without a partner.

"Look at that thing in your hand. It's called a Digivice. It's what makes the connection between a human and a Digimon possible. You have one because you've been chosen. You're what's called a Digidestined, or Chosen Child. You've got to help save us from a stupid Digimon by the name of Arkadimon. Well, it's not even a real Digimon. It was created when a virus from the internet attacked an egg that was going to hatch into a virus type anyway- Not good results.

"Not only that, but it's hideously strong, and it's still only a fresh, meaning it just hatched. Oh, I almost forgot. That thing I did, when I changed shape? It's called Digivolution. Basically, I get bigger and stronger. All Digimon do it. Which is also a problem, because that means Arcadimon will eventually digivolve and get even stronger. Also not good. Anyway, the digivice also helps me digivolve, but only when you use the voice command. I have no clue what else it does. Anyway, that's it. Now I wanna here about you."

Chris's head was reeling. Digimon... Digivice... Digivolution... Digidestined... Digi, Digi, digi.

"Huh? Oh. Yeah. My name's Chris." He shook Terriermon's hand. "I'm thirteen years old, this is my apartment, and I guess I'm a Digidestined. That's about it for me."

"Good," Terriermon said, jumping to the floor. "Now we can go to sleep. I'm exhausted. I was running around this stupid city for four hours looking for you."

Chris smiled. "'Night."

"G'night."

Chris stood there stupidly.

"Oh yeah. The 'save-the-world' thing. Gotcha."

Terriermon nodded.

"Good boy. Let's have breakfast."

Author's Notes- That was chapter two. Probably a boring recap for Digimon fans, but it's essential to the plot. Duh.
