Authors Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon! Hey everyone and welcome to a, well another new story lol. This one however has been in planning for over 2 years ever since I learned about Digimon Adventure Tri during my families summer vacation to Disney in Florida. Coming up with ideas and ways of possibly writing and doing somewhat a retelling of the original series, similar to Different Tale of Ash ketchum. And after some thinking and setting things up, as well as getting into a Digimon mood- along with help of friends.

Finally have things in mind and getting it started and written out. Along with doing some research and digging into the creation of the series and such...though some of it I kind of wished I didn't know about especially with one thing that has been bugging me and somewhat been in the back of mind with a certain character in the series and their behavior towards Tai. And...well apparently what I found out was confirmed, that some of the directors managed to step in and prevent this kind of relationship happening with in the series. Which definitely wouldn't work out so well in the 90's at the time and I don't know how Japan handles 'those' relationships at the time for animation and whatnot.

But yeah- it kind of eased my mind honestly and making this experiment I want to try out a shot. As it is also going be happening in Academy as well. But yeah, I am moving forward with that idea I had in mind when I was going to write this story.

So yup, this is going to be retelling of the original Digimon Adventures series. I don't know how far I will take it, or even going to 02. Still thinking that through and I have been in the mood for many different type of stories as of lately, that I need to stop myself with these projects lol. The other stories are going to be posted, still going through things and finding the right time to post them. One Piece especially as I need to catch up with the recent episodes and continue reading the manga again lol.

And yes this will be a M rated fic and with lemons as well a harem, I will try my hardest however to giving every character treated with respect and having their character development from the show. Though I am going be honest, I don't know what huge changes were made between the Japanese version to the English version. As I only watched the english version and grew up with it. So, I welcome any type of trivia you guys have of the Japanese version.

Also I am bringing an idea I used for...well the accidental deletion of my Gatomon story I had up here. Into the mix as well, especially for the female Digimon. SO! Without further adieu, hope you all have fun and enjoy!

OH also there will be spoilers from the one scene of Digimon Adventure Tri, as I used it in a way to make this retelling adventure to start and just screamed perfect transition lol. Okay enjoy!

"How did it end up like this?" A battle could be heard echoing in the vast desert. Winds howling through the air, roars and explosions coming from a very intense battle. As the person stood there flinching and twitching in his spot along with seven others. ""When did things get so out of hand and out of control? What...what is it that we're really trying to do here?" Came the thoughts of a young man with quite the wild hair. Gritting and grinding his teeth at the sight before him of two massive beasts, duking it out and fighting against one another. "Meikomon, can't you see your fighting your friend?!" Continued the young man's thought as he shook his head.

The young man's name is Taichi Kamiya- Tai for short. Watching in complete disarray of what's happening in front of him. Clenching his hand into fists listening to one of the others around him voicing their concerns and worries, watching a giant beast like Digimon. Who has no control over their senses and temper, as they clash and fight against what appears to be a knightly looking Digimon. Who is doing their best to calm the beast known as Meikomon, down from their despair and anguish- that Digimon name is Omnimon! Tai shifts his head slightly over his shoulders, looking over at his friends and seeing their conditions. All in their university uniforms or school uniforms. Watching everyone of them holding onto their own little partners, cradling them tightly to their chests. Silently cheering on and praying for Omnimon succeeding in stopping the deranged and strong Digimon before them.

Tai turned his attention back to the fight. Watching Omnimon who's a combination of MetalGarurumon and WarGreymon- DNA Digivolving into the high mega level stage. Moving the head shape hands of their previous mega evolution to and fro- clashing and connecting metallic clangs with Meikomon's claws. Her tan fur wilds and unkept, wearing what appears to be gold-metallic armor around her chest that covers the rest of her lower legs and waists. her arms wearing gold plated gauntlets with purple crystals spheres and diamonds on them. With purple color claws coming out from said gauntlets.

Her mega evolution as Tai would have to guess, could rival that of Omnimon as his and Yamato, which he and his friends tend to call him Matt for a nickname. In which the older man did not mind at all- watch with frustration at how easily Meikomon- or Meicoomon as that's her Digimon species name goes by. Were evenly matched and equally powerful, unable to let up or lower their guards at all. Tai grimaced when Omnimon managed to land a hit with a swift kick to Meikomon's head and sent her flying through the air for only a brief moment, then guarding himself when she retaliated. "There might be a way to stop her...like Diaboromon, we need to figure out how to slow her down! If we can do that, maybe...just maybe we can subdue her!" Tai thought as he watched the fight and continued analyzing their situation.

Which usually goes with Izzy's way of thinking- one of the eight Digidestined among their group. But ever since his encounter with Kuwagamon in the real world, destroying and attacking their cities- had caused Tai to behave differently and not himself at all. Which he silently chuckled to himself- "Much of a leader I have become. I've changed a lot ever since that encounter and done nothing but constantly second guessing myself." He berated himself and tightened his hand more, while raising his head towards the fight. "Not anymore it's time I actually behave like a leader and act like one! Right, slowing her down isn't an option- we need to…"

His eyes locked onto a nearby mountain formation that towers over the chosen children. Having the boy smirk, "there! We can use that mountain to prevent her from moving. If Omnimon pushes her towards it and pins her against the mountain. We can use our digivice to calm her down and rid of anything that might be corrupting her." He then raised his right hand where he kept the Digivice in a tight grip. "If it worked on the Black gears, maybe it can work on Meikomon and have her calm down." Then raise his head towards the newcomer Digimon...one of the royal knights and executioner to Yggdrasil. "Though considering our situation and how much these Royal knights don't trust us...he might give us a hard time."

"GAAAA!" A loud scream suddenly brought Tai out of his musing and turned his attention towards Matt, watching the man grabbing his hair and clenching his eyes closed. "What are we supposed to do!? If we're digidestined, how come we can't save our friend!? Why must we have to defeat her, to stop her?!" He yelled out and threw his arm down to his sides, shaking in conflict. "Damn it!" He continued, having Tai soften his look and stared back at the two Mega level Digimon fighting one another. Seeing what Matt is saying is true- they were told many times by Genai, that if they want to save their worlds- they must destroy their friend.

Even though the bastard himself is what caused Meikomon to go berserk after attacking Meiko herself, right in front of Meicoomon, him, Matt and Kari! And because of the girl passing out from being choked by the deranged man, who once was their support and guide of the digital world back when they were kids. Now turned enemy, has caused major problems for not only them- but distrust with the Human world and the loyal followers of Yggdrasil who watches over the digital world. Tai let out a soft grunt wondering if that is their only option...no, he thought while quickly shaking his head. "I have a plan after calming down and thinking things through. We just need to relay it to Omnimon, but to do that I need Matt to be calmed."

Before Tai could even speak and give out the plan, he was interrupted when Meiko suddenly said Thank you, then began running head first into battle! "WAIT!" Matt shouted soon after, making tai to grit his teeth while swinging around towards the two- feeling everything slowed down, taking note of the tears flying from Meiko's eyes. Having Tai to silently widen his own eyes and then hardened them, knowing exactly what that look and thought was going through the girl's head! She's going to throw herself into the danger and possibly kill herself, in order to stop Meicoomon! Bold decision and would have worked when the female Digimon was more on a safer mindset, but right now- she is out of control and has no idea who to determine friend from foe!

"MATT, MEIKO!" Tai shouted and began chasing after the two much speed he can use! He is so glad he didn't stop playing soccer, or else chasing these two will be difficult! Everything after that became a blur for Tai as things just escalated, drastically from that point on. After reaching Matt and Meiko, the three of them came to a sudden halt when one of the Royal knights after Omnimon managed to stun Meicoomon briefly, began charging up a very intimidating green like triangular energy attack. That was poised and aimed right at Meicoomon, this had Omnimon rushing over swiftly he could in order to save her- which thanks to another Royal knight name Alphamon, covered in nothing but black like armor and having quite a intimidating presence of him, as well the first REAL Digimon they ever fought back in the human world.

Came and interrupted the Digimon attack from hitting Meicoomon, surprising Tai at the sudden help but recalled from one of the advisors of the digital world. That Alphamon originally was going to destroy Meicoomon when discovering she was in the human world. But when he encountered Omnimon along with the Digidestined, who tried helping her- made the Digimon question the motives of Yggdrasil's order and gained respect for the chosen children and their ways of protecting those in danger and need! Surprising the mega how despite how weak they first were to him, he felt their beliefs and drives of protecting and saving others despite what kind of strength they had. And seeing how hardworking they were and even found a way to reboot and defragment the digital world back to normal, from the wild infection? They earned his respect and honor that, he will do everything in his power to help them.

Sadly despite his intentions being good and stopping the new Digimon attack? It backed fired and had the energy like beam tracing and destroying the earth all around them! Starting with the mountain shape Tai was hoping to use for preventing Meicoomon from moving- too then slicing right in front of him, Matt and Meiko- which the earth below them began ripping asunder! That Tai with quick reflexes shoved Matt and Meiko away from danger and himself from the earth opening below them. However- it continued to open up beneath that had all three of them running to hopefully stable grounds! Tai, who was running the opposite direction from Matt and Meiko, is doing everything he can to hopefully out run the ground opening up around him sensing Omnimon dashing right for him!

"Omnimon!" Tai quickly shouted towards Omnimon, moving his eyes towards the direction of Matt and Meiko, while nodding towards Omnimon. Knowing Agumon will be torn about not protecting his partner, heck! Tai even felt Gabumon's concerns for him as well, but knows the pelt wool Digimon would want to go and save Matt. And he knows that it will be wrong of him to keep that away from Gabumon, so he wanted Omnimon to go and protect those two over his own safety- knowing his friends comes before his own needs that Tai. Didn't want Omnimon to feel upset about not reaching Matt and Meiko in time for rescuing him.

After that and trying his best to get to safety, Tai along with their student council Daigo Nishijima , were swallowed up and taken from the ground below them! Disappearing in front of everyone and vanishing forever, with Tai's goggles that were upgraded and redesigned by Izzy to finding the strange data faux in the human world. Flew across the fields with one of the lenses destroyed and cracked, all the while the other lens was completely gone. The goggles bounced and clattered across the ground and came to a stop at Tai's young sister Kari's feet, with the girl staring in disbelief and unmoving feeling something tight against her throat- with everyone around her all wide eyed and gaping mouths at what just happened to their friend. With Sora having her one hand up to her mouth in disbelief of what she just saw! Mimi collapsed to her knees with a far off expression, as she held Tanemon the seedling Digimon tight into her chest. Not wanting the Digimon to see what just happened to Tai.

Izzy like Kari is devastated by what just became of his close friend. Unable to form any words or sentence as the shock of watching Tai possibly being killed right before him, was too much for him to comprehend let alone- being wrong that the Digidestined of Courage, not making it to safety! Always believing that Tai could possibly do the unthinkable and change things, despite how things were stacked against them...but no, seemed like the world wanted to prove to the Chosen child of Courage that not everything will be that easy and took his life…"N...No, this has to be a mistake." Izzy finally found his voice as Joe himself, is freaking out and even darting his eyes in every direction to find their brave leader anywhere! "Tai...Tai wouldn't lose like that...no way." Izzy tried rationalizing while fighting back that creeping fear beginning to enveloped his body, but quickly pushed it down and stared over towards Kari.

TK also turned towards Kari, knowing the girl just witnessed her brother dying before her and not even uttering a single word. Is starting to worry the child of Hope of the girl breaking down...as all she managed to utter when her eyes began glazing over and becoming dilated from what just happened in front of her was "Taichi…?" Kari's voice was weak and trembling as she began stepping forward a couple of times. "Taichi...Taichi…" She repeated and felt everything around her slowly going dark, as TK approached Kari and tried stopping her while speaking to her- only for his words becoming muffled and drowned out from her ears. Then felt tears forming around her eyes and let out a very loud scream of "TAICHI!"

Darkness is all he could see, Tai didn't know what became of him when everything around him back at the digital world swallowed him up and covered him in a dust cloud, along with his student councilman Yamagi. Everything felt cold here and it was too chilly for his liking…"Guess this is what it might feel like...if you die," He told himself as his eyes were grayed out and lifeless without much of a soul or energy in them. No color, no hints of life as he descended down the empty void. "Heh guess you pushed fate to her limits Tai. She finally caught up to you and showed you that you can't get away with everything."

The boy continued his thoughts just floating and descending in the nothingness...the void he will call it. No light, no warmth and no one there to welcome him. As the boy just continued falling and falling. "Strange...I know it's weird of me to say this but. I thought usually you are sent to either heaven or hell whenever you perished? Not in an endless limbo, unless this is what happens first before being decided where you are sent to."

"T...ai"

"And now I am hearing things, well whatever as long Matt and the others are okay. I know it's selfish of me too doing this...especially to Kari." Tai continues his musings while he goes and tries closing his eyes, only to hear his name being called.

"Ake up...Tai…"

"But I know the others will be able to work this through. They are all dependable individuals, especially when the time calls for it." Tai smiled softly knowing his friends will be able to handle things without him. He doesn't need to be present to give them courage, they all are experienced with these things- no way they will let this minor thing set them back! He knows they can do it and will find a way to stop Meicoomon and get her back to normal.

"Alright….you left….no choice!" Now the voice was more cleared and had Tai raising his brow. At the sudden notion of something warm and soft covering over him, warmth entering back to his body and getting his senses back together that the boy wasn't expecting what to come next!

"I warn ya!" Came a familiar female voice and then what sounded like them inhaling a lot of air. Too then a very loud and obnoxious whistle was suddenly being blown and ringing right into Tai's ears! That it caused the boy to literally let out a frightful yelp, followed by a loud grunt of pain when his face slammed into what felt like a wooden frame, then fell back down onto something soft and bouncy like a mattress and rolled right off of it and into what will be carpeted flooring. Having Tai groan and muttering under his breath from the pain coursing through his body…

"Wait...pain?" Tai then opened his eyes, waiting for them to adjust and get rid of the blurriness in his vision. Everything morphing and revealing themselves after regaining his vision and sees that, he was back in his room? Followed by what seems to be somebody's legs with socks covering their feet, as they lightly step back and then sit down on their knees. Then came the person face into his view by tilting their bodies sideways, showing their brown eyes at the boy confusingly and gave a happy and genuine smile to him. Giggling with a soft blush at how ridiculous her brother looks right now.

"Morning Tai! Hope you're alright, I didn't expect you to react violently to the whistle." It was Kari! The girl sat upright and moved her bangs to the side of her shoulders and smiled down at the blinking eye brother of hers, "I hope you are okay, you've been mumbling in your sleep a lot- along with saying odd things too." Then sighed, shaking her head. "I told you watching that 24 hour horror movie marathon was a bad idea. But nope," she then laughed and giggled when the boy finally began moving and sitting up onto his own knees.

Cracking his neck lightly while rubbing the back of his neck, though paused and stares towards the girl lightly when she continued. "Anyway, I wanted to wake you up early today because guess what day it is!" Kari asked while bringing her hands together and lifted them up. Watching Tai staring confusingly before shaking his head. "Today is the day, we're finally going to summer camp!"

The word echoed in his head for a while as Tai senses finally came back to him. The young man's eyes began bulging as he began analyzing the room very swiftly! Seeing posters and knickknacks of things he and Kari collected when they were children, were still placed around the room and desks! Old toys and gadgets they once had put into storage are now back on their desks and tables, looking fresh and new! Along with their old alarm clocks and computers...to then even spotting their childish like Calendar- in which Tai himself, couldn't really have the heart of throwing out. Even Kari herself didn't have the heart to throw it out and decided after getting her own separate room of their apartment. Brought the calendar there instead, but nope its back in his room...or should he have said now their room! He even jumped onto his feet and ran over towards the calendar, surprising his sister with the sudden reaction and twist her body to look at him. "Taichi? Something wrong?"

Tai grabbed the calendar from the wall and shook profusely when removing it from the wall and getting a better look at the date and year. Tai felt his shoulders sinking and mouth hanging open when he looked away and whispered out, "1999...June 20th…" to then dropping the calendar onto the floor, that made Kari to stare confusingly at it and then began standing up. Becoming a bit worried of her brother's weirdness as she watches him swing his arm down to his sides in defeat, while turning his head over his shoulder and stares at his sister… "I...went back in time?" This had Kari rolling her eyes and laughing at her brother's words, then let out a squeak when he nearly fell over but caught himself on the chair, having her ready to reach out to him but let out a soft sigh. Then hears him saying, "But how did I get back here...from the Digital world? And," then looks at his sister. "How am I alive?!"

Yup Kari thought, watched way too many horror movies and seems she needs to bring her brother back on earth. Wherever his mind is currently is at right now, "Come on Tai, how about we get some breakfast and get your mind back in your body." Kari said while walking over to him and comfortingly and lovingly caressed her hands against his back and guided the stammering and stuttering boy out the room. "Yes, yes time travel and being brought back from the dead can mess up the mind...you definitely watched too many movies last night." She laughed while closing the door behind them. That the wind the door made blew across the nearby desk that had test papers and school papers littered about, that made the papers to fly off the table and revealing Tai's old digivice in the room, having its screen glowing for a while before it and the Digivice itself- disappeared into nothingness.

Chapter 1: Tai and his brand new life!

Xxx

The boy couldn't believe what was transpiring right in front of him. Let alone comprehending how he is even alive at that matter, including being back in time? The Chosen child of Courage hummed lightly as he sat at the dining table of the apartment. Listening to the sizzling of the frying pan being used by his sister Kari, who's happily humming to herself and swaying in an upbeat manner making delicious pancakes for the two of them. Tai however finds something quite off about this whole going back in time however.

One of which is that...he is still the same age as he was during the Meicoomon incident along with Kari. How he made this discovery is when Kari had guided him towards the restroom, asking him to wash up and get cleaned for the day. Having his favorite clothes ready for him in said restroom, his double-long sleeve blue shirt with the gold star designs on the sides of the shoulder blades. Along with long sleeve brown jeans- though the jeans being different, it was still his favorite kind of clothes to wear whenever summer arrived when he was twelve years old. But after looking in the mirror after calming down and getting his thoughts together… He realized that just like Kari, he is the same age and even height. That confuses him greatly why that is or why he even went back in time to 1999?

"I hope you enjoy this Tai, it took me a while to find the raspberries in the cupboards. Knowing that you like them and their favorite flavor to eat with your pancakes." Smiled Kari while turning her head at him with a big blush then face back at the pan. "I even added some bit of sugar for some energy when we arrived at the camp. I can't wait to spend time with ya there and enjoy all the activities!" Giggle the excited girl while happily bouncing in place. Having her older brother to stare over at her feeling a bit of sweat drop forming on his forehead. Another change he noticed today.. Kari Kamiya, his younger sister, isn't sick or feeling ill whatsoever.

Unlike last time Kari couldn't come to Summer camp on the account of her poor health during the time. She caught a very bad flu at the time and was forced to stay home, despite the girl looking forward to the trip and was upset she couldn't spend it with Tai and the other children. Tai always wondered and curious at the time, what would have happened if she did get to go and didn't get sick. Would she and Gatomon still meet up with each other...or would Kari be journeying with the group without a Digimon, while Gatomon was taken away by Myotismon. The boy chuckles to himself recalling how after reuniting with their partners. He, Agumon, Kari and Gatomon along with their mother- all pondered one night about how their adventure would be like if Kari did go to the Digital world the first time without getting sick.

"By the way Tai," Kari's voice suddenly brought the boy out of his musing. "I heard some of your classmates are coming too- especially Sora." She then began moving some plates around and placing the food onto said plates. "Which I am glad considering how much time you and her spend with one another? That she never seemed to leave your side at all, and be part of the family." Laughed the girl while turning fully around and lifted two plates. "I even almost made a third helping, thinking she would arrive early today like she always does." Kari joked and placed Tai's plate down with what looked to be a heart shaped pancake with bacon and sausages. Though Tai smiled inwardly at how the heart shape even had the syrup in the form of a heart as well, having him chuckled softly and shook his head.

"Really, why would she do that?" Tai asked while looking up at his sister who sat down at the table next to him. Having the girl sigh and shake her head at her brother's ignorance, "Considering she usually has practice soon after breakfast right?" He continued catching on the sigh, teasingly smiling already thinking ahead of why he would ask and not get called out how dense he is about the girl's feelings. He knows Sora and Matt were going to be a thing, even if he went back in time or not- can't change what's already set in stone.

Kari stuck her tongue out when she saw her brother smiling at her, "OH! I hate it when you do that," Kari laughed and then went ahead to start eating. "Yeah that's true, but considering it is going to be summer break? I figured Sora will have a lot of free time to spend with you and I." Then hummed happily after taking a bite, as well Tai doing the same. "She's been visiting ever since we were children and how much the two of you talk and chat with each other? I wouldn't be surprised if she tries spending a few minutes with us this morning before practice." Then grinned, "if anything and how much she does spend time with our family. It's like she is a permanent member of the family, as she never goes a day not spending it with you." Then giggled when she saw Tai, choke slightly on the pancake after she said that and smirk teasingly. "If anything I wouldn't be surprised if the two of you already made it official."

This got even more chokes from Tai after taking a sip of his orange juice, then slamming the glass down on the table. Turning beat red and pounding away at his chest to get air flowing and swallowing whatever is stuck, before gasping and with a breathless reply "IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT!" He shouted and watched Kari wince one eye and then quickly wiggle a finger against her ear. "Besides…" The tone Tai suddenly took alerted his sister and watched him furrowing his brows, annoyed by the teasing. "If anything she has feelings for Matt. We're just really good friends and both play soccer, why wouldn't she hang out with me and want some tips or pointers." He sighed out...granted he himself had feelings for her. But considering his nature and not wanting to be selfish, waited and saw what Sora wanted- not what he wanted. He growled irritably when he recalled how Mimi, literally teased him before taking that world trip with her family stating how, if he doesn't take action he will miss out being with Sora.

Though laughed soon after the memory flashed when she gave him a thank you kiss to the cheek saying how she's glad Tai never changed and how she now sees why everyone saw him as leader material. Kari though blink and stare at the boy, seeing the conflicting emotions going through his expression right now, seeing that kindness Sora and Mimi talks so much about and how selfless the boy is. Something she already knows and even herself began harboring feelings for Tai. "Oh Tai, sometimes you're too kind even to yourself." Kari giggled out softly, making him stop mid chew of his food and look at the girl with a raised brow.

After having breakfast and finally having his entire being situated with this...being alive again and from the beginning. Tai took notices of the apartment building, everything like it was when they were young. Living room is nice and clean, with modern and organized furniture placed neatly by their mother. Medium sized CTV in the corner of the room, with transparent pink curtains hanging from the sliding glass door that goes out onto the balcony. Flora potted plants in each corner and a small coffee table in the middle of the room. Everything the way it was and he should say is where they should be. "Kari, where is mom?" Tai called out down the hall where the girl had entered the restroom to get washed and ready for the trip. With the boy wandering about in the apartment after things settle down. Having memories how things were back then, before this sudden time travel or whatever happened to him sent him here.

The door to the restroom opened slightly as he hears Kari calling out, "Mom is at work and says that she has everything packed for us at the front door!" Kari's voice echoed out from the restroom with the shower turned on. "But she hasn't packed our clothes yet, so I went ahead and decided what we will bring. I know you like casual wear so make sure to pack a lot of that!" Giggle the girl and went back into the restroom without closing the door. Having the boy to hum curiously while swinging his body around and facing the front door. Spotting their bags on the corner floor of the entryway. Stuff and packed with tons of possible clothes and other materials they may need for the trip.

Tai then tilts his head slightly when he even saw the whistle Kari used to wake him up, is neatly placed on her bag. Having him shake his head in happiness while heading over to the kitchen part of the apartment. Stopping at the fridge and spotted the family photos on it, "Tai think you can place some more coolers into our bags? I don't want the sandwiches I made for us to go bad." Came Kari's voice, finding her tone to be quite odd and weird? Been behaving quite weirdly ever since he woke up, especially with her constantly blushing and smiling towards him.

"Sure thing!" He replied back and faced the photos again and squinted his eyes at them. Noticing there were A LOT of photos of him and Kari on the fridge, with a few with their mom and father. But a lot of them were just him and Kari, making him wonder why that is? But considering how she doesn't seem sick or behaving ill? Might be that the girl illness is not that bad this time around, and it can be seen through the photos. And every single one of them has the girl blushing. "Kari did mom take these pictures?" Tai asked, figuring the girl can still hear him through the shower running as he grabs one of the more recent ones. Of him and Kari smiling like goofballs in front of what appears to be a soccer stadium, with the girl wearing a Pink and white striped sleeveless shirt and those yellow shorts she wore when working with Davis and the others.

"YUP! She said she would rather take photos of us than all three of us, as she finds our interactions quite adorable!" Kari replied while turning the shower off. "Anyway, Tai the coolers?" Kari retorted playfully knowing her brother hasn't got them yet. Making him laugh and go grabbing the coolers in the freezer, "anyway, I hope you won't mind Tai- but I am going to be wearing those clothes for the trip. I may have slightly outgrown them but they're the best to wear for summer!"

Tai hummed and grabbed the two small coolers from the freezer and approached the lunch bags that were on the counter. "Why would that bother me?" He replied, it's not like they're tight on her or anything and it didn't bother him in his previous life. Why would it bother him now? Well he would get his answer as Kari finished up from her shower, came walking out from the restroom wearing the clothes and Tai, who finally took note of the girl. Stared briefly at her and the clothes she's wearing while letting out an, "oh-" which had Kari giggling like a giddy school girl while twirling in place and posing in front of the boy. "You could've dried off a bit more before wearing them." Tai chuckled lightly, making the girl pout and puff her cheeks out.

"Oh come on could at least compliment me!" Kari whined out and shook her head, but still blushed either way. As the girl happily walked on over to the lunch bags and brought them over to their camping bag, bending over to it and began putting them inside. Much Tai wants to remark and tease at the girl about wanting to impress someone. Had him staring over the girl's features and taking note that...she had definitely filled out that for sure. With the clothes definitely looking tight on the girl, even had to look away when she bent down as the shorts were definitely outlining her figure. "Alright that's everything now," Kari's voice rang out as she stood upright and grabbed the edges of her tight yellow shorts and tugged them downward. Hoping to now get it wedge between her cheeks, but doesn't at the same time.

Then turning around and began grabbing the shoulder blades of her shirt, adjusting and pulling them upward. Causing her double C cup breasts to be pushed up and pressed lightly against her shirt, having a bit of her nipples poking through as the girl was being a bit daring today. "Now...Tai, you have everything you need?" She asked with a tilt of her head while continuing to adjust and stretch her shirt while walking over to him, or swaying her way over to him with a happy smirk. Watching her brother hum while looking at her and then facing his eyes upwards to the ceiling, thinking through if he was missing anything while absently moving his hand up towards his chest and patting against it.

"Oh, my binoculars!" Tai snapped his fingers, he can't go without that! It helped them greatly in the digital world, it would be bad if he forgot to bring it even if he is dazed and confused of how he came back from the dead and back in time. "Can't leave home without that." He smiles and then watches Kari giggling as she goes approaching him...very close like and goes slipping her hand into his right pants pocket. Surprising him at the girl's action and did she use scented shampoo? Her behavior is definitely strange, he thought, especially when he felt or imagined the girl silently grinding her upper body against him and slowly pulled the binocular out from his pocket, having a bit of a red tint to her face and smiled up to him.

"I made sure to put it in your pants pocket, just in case you forgot to grab it from the room." She smiled and then stood upright, standing on her tiptoes as she began wrapping the string around Tai's head and down to his neck. Feeling her pressing and pushing against his chest, pushing her weight onto him as he felt his lower back leaning against the counter behind him as he stared confusingly down at his sister. Watching her closing her eyes and the blush on her face increasing in volume, just resting her palms against his shoulders when she placed his binocular around his neck. Just pressing and gently pushing her breasts lightly into him. "Been awhile since we were this close." She mused out softly and rested her head against his shoulder, now raising warning flags in Tai's head of what the girl is doing.

"Err..what do you mean Kari?" Tai half asked and chuckled, feeling nervous of the sudden action. Wondering what's gotten into his sister, why Kari is behaving this way? HELL! Continuing to press her body against him whenever pulling back from him, feeling her now moving the rest of her body against his own- invading his personal space and bubble. Then felt the girl moving her hands further down his shoulder blades and resting them against his chest, caressing them softly and lovingly.

"Us silly!" Kari giggled while nuzzling against him. "We haven't had much time to spend together, ever since we were busy with school and such. Along with spending time with our classmates and friends, I was afraid that we were beginning to drift apart." Smirk the girl while looking up to the boy, who felt like red flags were now beyond the danger zone, watching Kari giving him...well that look Sora had whenever around Matt. "And now that summer is here, we won't have to worry about drifting too much apart." Then paused while looking to the side, "well besides activities and you and Sora." Laughed Kari as she placed her head back against his shoulder and let out a very loving and content sigh. "Which I have no problems with her being around. She's fun to hang out and feels good knowing what a big sister is like."

"Tai your red flags are now death con five right now. Somethings not right here!" Tai screamed to himself as he turned a bit red, when he then felt Kari's pelvis now gently pressing up against his own that caused him to shiver from the oddity. Quickly grabbing onto Kari's shoulders, making her squeak and then felt herself bobble lightly when he pushed her away gently. "Whoa, whoa Kari invading my personal space there and being slightly...err what's the word?" Tai softly stated while giving a sideway glance, hearing her give a sultry laugh and whispers.

"Loving?" Kari said watching her brother whip his attention back at her, while the worried expression turned to confusion when Kari gently grabbed his arms and pulled his hands away from her shoulders. "Oh come on Tai, that nightmare may have caused more confusion and a bit of amnesia to enter your brain." Giggle Kari while guiding his hands towards her breasts, which she felt the boy jerking them away and began sliding along the kitchen counter to move away from her. Watching his sister just flick one of her bangs and huffed, "Okay Tai what's going on? You're behaving as if we never acted like this before?" She asked while crossing her arms pouting. "That hit on your face really did make you forget huh?"

Tai raised a finger and then lowered it, raising it again and about to ask how that is. Though glad Kari caught onto his questioning gaze and sighed. Then Kari happily points to the fridge where the photos are, "We began behaving like this last summer, when Mom and Dad won that three month boat cruise of theirs. Leaving us with the apartment and our aunt at the time." She informed watching the boy stare for a bit and then turn towards the side of the fridge. Unaware of Kari walking close to him again and felt her breath hitting his neck, when she pressed and pushed into him, nuzzling her face against his neck. "And ever since then we enjoyed it, especially when we got bit", then yelps when she felt her body falling straight to the floor.

Chin first while groaning and drumming her fingers in slight annoyance but...also finding this quite fun, watching Tai immediately walking around her and away- heading over to his shoes and began putting them on, making an excuse. "Ya know what! There was this thing I had to do and plans with Izzy!" Tai announced, watching his sister just happily kicking her legs up and down making her shorts sink between her cheeks, while looking over her shoulder and giving that loving look towards him.

"Yeah, I was going ask him some computer tech that he only knows about, before we go and head to camp- don't wait up for me and just head to the station and I will be right there bye!" Tai rapidly said towards Kari, watching her brother close the door hard and fast while then watching him from the window darting straight towards the direction of where Izzy's apartment room will be. The sister sighed, pushing herself off the floor and sat cross legged on the floor. Humming to herself and then looks down at herself.

"Hmm...maybe I should have waited until he is completely awake before...I began making my move on him." Hummed the girl while then pursing her lips to the side. "I should have better tactics there, and not push myself onto him without a bra. Yeah that probably scared him." Thought the girl while then grunting in annoyance as the clothes were beginning to choke her. "Okay, he is right I should have waited till I dried off! Dang, who thought clothes can choke ya when not dried." And gets up from the floor and heads to her room, this time making sure to grab fresh and dried clothes- curious of what sort. "Wait, Tai doesn't have a computer?"

Xxx

After getting out of the apartment and away from his sister. Which Tai mind was trying to come up with a way of why and reasoning for Kari's behavior earlier. Let alone what she meant that he and she has been like that, since last year! Acting like they were an actual couple to each other and had been so for nearly a year and a half! It worried him what had the girl messed up in the head...but the evidence was there, especially when said loving sister pointed to the fridge. How he and here were close to each other and never seemingly separating from each other and just holding onto one another like real couples.

"I mean," Tai began speaking out loud after turning around the corner of the gates leading to his apartment and began walking towards the west. In the direction towards Izzy's apartment complex that's about two blocks away. The boy crossed his arms and began scratching his chin, "mom would've noticed the behaviors and do something about it right? I don't think she would encourage such behavior from her kids." Then closed his eyes tightly, "all the while making them get THAT close with one another right?" He hummed, continuing walking down the street unaware of the few electrical disturbances happening to the electronics near him.

Or the TV's in some of the stores freaking out and some of the cash registers in the open door shops, spewing and spitting out receipts at a rapid fire pace. "Maybe that's what Kari meant by she finds our actions adorable, thinking we're just being very caring siblings." Tai thought and groaned. No he thought, that wouldn't make sense or even allowed the behavior to continue like that as they grew older. Young maybe and would encourage a healthy relationship of brother and sister...but older? Yeah, that's entering the territory of uneasy and uncomfortable behavior.

"Then again…" Tai opened his eyes and stopped at the corner of the street. Waiting for the lights to turn red for the traffic, as well the crossing light going from red to white. "Kari did behave oddly in my past life as well, whenever around me." He thought and began thinking over her actions. "Especially around Valentine day when she made that very expensive gift wrapping gift for me. Making those cupcakes and chocolate cookies…" he then began lowering his eyes halfway in realization slash annoyance. "Or giving me a new pair of sports goggles from those sports...Okay how DID I not see those signs!" He growled out loudly, surprisingly some of the people next to him."

Which had him blinking his eyes and then chuckled sheepishly while bashfully rubbing the back of his head. Apologizing to the frightened people then blushed a bit, when the ladies cooed out saying it is quite alright. While stating how he must have a very caring sister, to go out of her way buying things for him like that. While others whispering and openly snickering how they probably do the same, with having a handsome brother like that. Making Tai close his eyes irritably as he waits for the lights to change. "And I think I know what caused that behavior too...Me." Now he remembers it, Valentine day all the girls at school would give him gifts and presents for Valentines day- and whenever he saw Kari working hard and wanting to make a special gift for him?

He would try to hide the other gifts away from Kari, so she wouldn't get upset or feel down about him himself, receiving other valentine gifts from the girls from his school. Or some of the ones from Kari's classroom too- which probably egged on Kari into growing affectionately towards him over the years. While being nice to her and thanking her with said gifts, that she probably began harboring forbidden feelings for her older brother. "Which would explain her behavior of wanting to spend more time with me, hang out with me and going to the digital world with me. Whenever I have free time to help her and the new digidestined out in the digital world. How the hell did I miss…" Tai shook his head and took note of the lights changing and began rushing his way to the next block over.

"Sometimes Tai you're too kind, even to yourself." Were the words echoing through his head this morning from Kari. When he stated how he and Sora were just friends and not wanting to be selfish. It's that behavior that probably led to Kari falling for him, with him probably seeing the signs but didn't taking action to stop it. Because of, "Wanting her to grow out of it and realize...wow Tai you are really dumb aren't you?" He berated himself of why the girl seems so infatuated towards him now. His reasoning of not stopping it before it got worse, is what caused it and because of him being selfless about interfering with her and probably Sora's feelings? Caused things to lead up to the way they were in his previous life. The wild hair boy laughed softly after coming to another stop of the block, quickly looking left and right of the street. Then immediately crosses it in haste, spotting the large complex apartment building ahead of him.

"That's why Mim told me how glad she was of me not changing, and thanking me for being a good friend to Sora." Tai thought out loud, jogging his way over to the building. "And why Kari the way she is in my previous life. Heck, everyone really no wonder they keep jokingly calling me a leader when we were young." He shook his head. Honestly he thought Matt or heck even Joe being better leader materials, because of their need to care for others safety and possibly, wanting to avoid fights when they need to. But...apparently that wasn't the case and even told Tai, even though Matt does get annoyed once in a while about Tai's decision, has gone on record telling the Child of Courage.

How just something about Tai that brings out the best in them and that, when they see how confident and trusting he is of them and their Digimon? And that they can make it, despite the odds against them- he just gives them this courage and bravery to move forward and see things through. Add with Tai and Izzy coming up with plans and winging it- made Tai fit for leadership and able to handle when situations become serious. Joe put it best in words, "Even though Tai that we have to be responsible when it calls for it. There are times where action speaks louder than words. And, sometimes you seem to know when that time is now and we need to take action. So believe me when I say this, you out of everyone seems to know what's best for everyone- even if some of us don't tend to see it. That's what a true leader is, putting their trust in others and showing them the way."

Tai just fondly smiled at the memory as it was one of those rare moments. Where he needed time to himself and being by himself, went to the park to think and ran into Joe there who too was taking a break from his studies. Came over and saw Tai by himself and just sat down on the bench with him and Tai, just began talking to him and asking questions he was needing answers too. "And that's why we call him reliable Joe! Always there to lend an ear and hear us out." Tai laughed while standing at the gates to the apartment complex. Staring up at the building knowing this is where Izzy, Joe and even Mimi live- surprising the child of courage of how close everyone seemed to be back then. Before going their separate ways later in the years, doing their own thing and stuff.

Tai hummed when he heard what sounded like static electricity behind him, causing the boy to turn halfway around and spotted the street lights going haywire and constantly flashing between each color lights. Having him be surprised how much the digital world seems to have an effect over their hometown? The boy turned and twisted his body making sure there weren't any cars or buses driving by that might cause an accident. Humming and spotting a crossing guard who was yawning and stretching their arms above their head, drinking and sipping what seems to be coffee. "Hey officer!" Tai called out towards the man, who hummed and looked at Tai, then waved. "I know traffic is not busy right now, but think the lights are malfunctioning!" Tai continued and pointed to said lights.

Having the crossing guard look up at it and let out a whoa. "Oh geez your right!" He called out while chuckling, "Thanks for the heads up kid! That would've ended badly if no one was around, I will call work and see to get someone here." He shouted and did exactly that, reaching into his car and grabbing what looked to be a two-way radio and calling his station. Tai nodded and seeing he avoided possibly a disaster, went ahead and began entering the parking lot of the apartment building and heading towards the elevator.

Inside the apartment of where Izzy resides at, the orange hair boy who was inside his room. Was typing and clicking away onto his portable and wireless laptop, having the most high tech and recent technology the world has to offer. All the while upgrading and constantly improving his personal laptop by his own genius and resources. Is right now staring confusingly at the weird writings and markings appearing across his laptop screen. "Prodigious, never seen these types of coding before. What kind of language is this?" Izzy hummed out while leaning back against his chair, buttoning up his orange half sleeved shirt with one hand. While the other moves his computer mouse over the words, trying to highlight them and translate the language. But...all he can make out or his laptop could make out is, " 'Child of Courage has been revived and is arriving soon' what in the world does that mean?" Izzy hummed out and began opening up a separate window tab, to see if he can cross reference the sentence to a poem or something.

Even after clicking it seeing it seemed to be also a link, the only image he got when clicking it was what looked to be a sun? "Sun…?" Izzy hummed silently while squinting his eyes and figured to see if that has meaning, though before he could even research it. He heard the doorbell of the apartment ringing out, that has him turning and clicking absently on the image which brought up a garble photo of someone- as his laptop began to slowly compress and reconfigure it to be viewable.

"Of course! Izzy is here," Came a womanly voice from the living room belonging to Izzy's mother. "Izzy, your friend Tai is here! Says something about needing some help with a computer." His mother announced making Izzy to stare openly at the door and then sideway glance whispering out.

"Tai doesn't have a computer?" Izzy told himself and then shook his head. "Sure thing, let him in, just doing some research." Izzy smiled while replying to his mother. Curious of what Tai Kamiya wanted early this morning, he is usually spending time with Sora and Kari around this hour and with the camping trip about to happen later today. "Must be something serious for him to visit," Izzy hummed and turned to his computer and then hummed when he saw the garbled image in front of him. His laptop seems to be struggling to convert the large size image to be viewable, but what he can make out with probably 15% of the image being decompressed was wild brown hair. "Much I want this to be shown, it's taking too much processing power of my laptop." And decided to go and close out the image, canceling out the process and closing out the image. Hearing slightly hurried footsteps rushing over to his room, that made Izzy turn his chair halfway and winced when Tai. Accidentally crashed into the door when turning the handle the wrong way, "counter-clockwise Tai."

"Thanks…" came a groan from Tai, turning the knob the right way and began entering the room. "I have to remember this is the old apartment and not a new one." Muttered the boy, making Izzy raise his brows curiously of what he meant and watched the child entering. Making sure to close the door and locking it, making this visit probably a serious one. "Okay this may sound weird and before I begin talking to you about it, I need to-" Tai began saying and turned around facing the boy.

Pausing and began looking at the room for a brief moment, seeing books and thesis hardback folders and binders, all neat and tidy in the room. A large desk near the west of the wall and a moderate size bed in the one corner. Having Tai to stare for a brief moment and then placed a hand on his chin, "Wow, forgot how tidy you are compared to me and my room. Definitely a future genius in the making." Teased Tai, getting Izzy to smile back at the joke- Tai, always knowing how to make a serious situation not be too serious, then watch the boy's eyes going through what seems to be...nostalgia?

"Anyway," Tai quickly stated and looked towards Izzy who was sitting crossed legged on his computer chair. "Izzy I know this may sound weird and completely whacky to even a normal person and even an intelligent one, but…" Tai then breathed in a lot of air and clapped his hands together- eyes closed and going through what he is about to say. "Do you believe in reincarnations?" He asked, finding the wrong words for the spur of the moment, as Izzy just sat there quietly and stared at his friend.

"Err...sort of? But that depends on the meaning and what you're referencing to?" Izzy chuckled nervously and bashfully, completely lost him of what Tai meant. "If you really meant to say Resurrection...but something else?" Izzy asked and laughed when Tai blinked his eyes, while then shaking his head and flushed embarrassingly and scratched the back of his neck.

"Oh right, right! Thanks what I meant to say...time travel." Tai figured telling Izzy that he died and came back to life, might be too extreme right now. Which after saying that got Izzy attention and seems intrigued. "Okay so well, resurrection kind of plays that part but...I will wait till you're more ready for it." Tai stated while rolling his hand around and began grabbing a spare desk chair and spun it backwards sitting down in it. "Anyway, is it possible for someone to time travel from the future and come back to the past. Reliving things again but everything seems to be different?"

Izzy stares for a while and then begins giving the look that Kari gave him when he woke up this morning. "Wow um, that 24 hour horror movie marathon must've been really good if it has you asking if time travel can happen." Chuckle Izzy and laugh some more when Tai, lowered his head and gritted his teeth with twitching eyebrows.

"Why does everyone keep bringing that horror marathon up!" Tai growled frustratingly while pounding his forehead against the back of the chair, then lifted his head up. "No, it has nothing to do with that movie at all! Let alone why would I watch something like that, when I don't generally watch horror movies." He regretted the one year when he, Matt and some of the other students of school, snuck into one of the horror movies and couldn't sleep for weeks!

Though he took note of Izzy widening his eyes and asked, "Wait, when did you hate horror movies? You're always were and are into them, even when you were young and had brought me and Matt into that movie theater one night, buying tickets for all three of us and watched it." Then smiled. "I have to say the movie was really good, see now why you like them." Izzy said and then paused his sentence, then stared at Tai- who looked like had quite the puzzling look and disbelief.

"...I like horror movies?" Tai wanted to be sure he heard that right and watch Izzy nodding his head slowly, even stating how he even got Sora and Kari into watching them. "...Wow, my life must be really, really different in this timeline than my previous life." Tai haphazardly said without thinking and rubbing the side of his face cheek. Alerting Izzy greatly at that last part of his sentence, then quickly bringing 'resurrection' into play and connecting why he asked that first. "Man if Kari's behavior wasn't weird enough, being told that Sora spends a lot of time with me in this life- is definitely showing signs things are different. Even watching horror movies too, yeah...going to take awhile to adjust."

"Adjust...Behavior…" Now Izzy is interested, wondering if it has something to do with the odd occurrences with the electrical devices. "Okay Tai," Izzy raised his yellow gloved hand. "You now have my complete attention and are starting to see why you began your sentence with resurrection. What's going on?" He asked his friend and waited for the boy to start explaining everything of what's happening around him, which Tai smiled in relief seeing his friend is willing to listen and take the step of understanding.

"Okay we will be here for awhile, but I can only tell you things for a brief moment. Since we do have summer camp coming up soon and." Then turned his head which had Izzy, also turning his head and both chuckled. "And you're already packed, so I will inform you what happened at the end and then, tell you what might happen in the future." Tai said and watched Izzy nod and lifted his right leg knee to his chin and began listening.

After thirty minutes listening and hearing Tai out, the child of knowledge had his mouth gaping and staring in disbelief of what just transpired in this room. Racking his head over what his friend just said, especially the part of him, "you sure that you're telling the truth and that you actually died?" Digital world, Digimon- it was all too much to take and also...quite prodigious at the same time to understand there is another world! He and the others called Digidestined, it's all too out of the world for anyone, but with how Tai said it with such a serious tone and look, while smiling about the Digimon names...how can you not believe him!

"Yeah...I ordered Omnimon to go and protect Matt and Meiko at the time. Figuring their safety is more important than mine and tried running to safety but." Tai then softens his look and seems distraught about what happened. Izzy nodded letting him know he didn't need to relive it, and had the boy sighed and began rocking his chair, "and well here I am. Back in 1999 June 20th, the day where it all began as we headed to summer camp!" Tai said while then pointing to Izzy's computer, "Which from the look of things, seems like I am at the point where the digital world and human world, are somehow interacting and interfering with each other."

Izzy turned and chuckled, "So that's what it is- the digital world communicating with our world." While then spinning the chair back and began opening up some of the windows. The odd occurrence was brought on his laptop. "Tai, before you got here I did receive a weird message from the digital world. I couldn't figure out who sent it or who the sender was but, after listening to your story. I think this would make a lot of sense of how you came back." This had Tai hum curiously, standing up from his chair and approaching Izzy and his laptop- watching the boy moving his mouse and clicking on the message.

"The Child of Courage has been revived and is arriving soon." Tai repeated and hummed, wondering if it was Genai who sent it? Or...least ONE of the Genai letting Izzy know ahead of time. "Might be from one of the Genai who sent this to you," Tai then stood upright and watched Izzy closing the window and facing him. Watching the wild hair boy crossing his arms, recalling Tai briefly going over who this Genai is, and how the man seemed to have caused problems for them in this other life. But, quickly told Izzy there are a lot of versions of him, it might've been a corrupted one that caused trouble.

"Come to think of it, I got weird emails myself about being called a Child of Knowledge. But the message and email was corrupt and was littered with symbols and characters. It nearly crashed my laptop." Izzy then smiled brightly, "Well then!" He then saw Tai smiling in relief and great happiness. "Your story is out of this world, but I am glad you told me this! Hell, coming to me first before anyone else. And hearing how close we are in that other life, who am I to refuse to help and assist a close friend and partner!" Izzy grinned and then clapped hands with Tai. "So what's the course of action Tai and anything we need to prepare for?"

"Well first thing first," Tai began saying and then nudged his head towards the door. Having Izzy letting out a oh and nods, they spent a lot of time chatting and talking. They need to get to camp. "I promise Kari I will meet up with her at the train station with our bags, to take the bus terminal there to summer camp. I don't want us to be late." He informed and opened the door for the boy, who nodded greatly and grabbed his things and both boy's began heading out. Saying goodbye to his parents, while happily accepting some snacks the mother was offering and making their way out the door, "so let me at least have you ready to what expect okay? Don't want to ruin all the surprises."

Having Izzy laughing as they head towards the elevator, "Sure thing, I would rather you not spoil anything. Just tell me what you know and have in mind, then we go from there!" He cheered and pushed the elevator button, "Especially who my partner is as I am very curious who Tentomon is."

Having Tai smiling brightly and playfully wrapped an arm around his shoulders. "Of course, I will tell you who our partners are and who is with whom." He smiled and the elevator doors closed as the two boys began their discussion and plans of what to expect.

After the dream without any end, in a world without nothing in it~

It seems like all of our dreams, will lose its light and crumble into nothing~

Even with this wavering wings, Full of images that tend to stay, I'm sure that we can both fly- oooon my loooooove~

The two of them exited out of the elevator and began making their way out of the complex. Talking and chatting with each other while making their way over to the gates, with Tai pointing towards the Crossing guard who was in the middle of the road, having Izzy to stare and then look up when Tai then directed his attention to the street lights. Gaping his mouth open at how haywire it is going, nodding towards Tai stating that is exactly what's been happening with his apartment appliances. With everything that seems to be electrical, are going on the fritz and bugging out.

I'll become a happy butterfly, and ride the winds that will take me up high~

I'll be there soon, by your side is all I need~

The two of them that arrived towards one of the bus stops, spotted a tall boy with blue hair. Carrying what looked to be a bag sling around his shoulders, wearing a tan like vest over top probably a white t-shirt. Talking and interacting with a girl next to him, wearing what looked to be a cowboy hat, the older boy raised his head and began waving behind the girl towards Tai and Izzy! Alerting the young girl who also turned and beamed happily towards them, adjusting her bright brown hair to the sides, waving both hands at the two. It was Joe and Mimi, who were going to take the bus together and speak of what kind of activities they will be doing at camp. While being surprised to see Tai here with Izzy, laughing and snickering when he and Izzy told them how the boy needed some advice for his father's computer and arrived early.

It's better to forget the memories, where all that exists is sadness~

There is no time to be fooling with our lives~

The group stepped onto the bus and headed through the rows of seats to find one, where they can interact with one another without shouting on the bus. Mimi asks Tai how everything is going with him and Sora, while teasingly asking if he managed to persuade the tomboy to spend the night and watch the marathon with him. Getting Tai to growl irritably, earning more laughter from Mimi and Izzy, with Joe being slightly confused when Tai muttered out how everyone seems to constantly bring up the marathon. Then promptly slammed his forehead against the back of the seat in front of him, when Joe asked or mentioned why Tai was annoyed about them asking about the marathon, to then sweat dropping some more when the boy showed annoyance from the comment.

Though quickly replaced the annoyance when they face forward and saw a yawning Sora now stepping onto the bus, trying hard to be mindful of how loud she's yawning while patting her mouth then widened her eyes. Then smiled brightly when she saw everyone on the bus, while greeting her.

I wanna know, wow, wow, wow, wow Why would I lose all hope for tomorrow~

Surprising Tai when Sora found a seat across the boy. Excitingly go and detail out how some of the movies she managed to watch during the marathon, were exciting and interesting to watch. Though lost his bet of being able to stay up all night, to see every movie- explaining how she owes him a reward for winning. Only to gasp and widen her eyes, when Mimi elbowed her and said how Tai apparently didn't watch the marathon and seems to hate horror movies. Alerting Sora towards the boy with a questioning gaze, Then both she and Mimi began snorting when the boy looked away bashfully, while muttering out how Kari did woke him up with her whistled and had his face smacking at the bottom of her part of the bunk bed mattress. Earning the girls to laugh some more, while Joe- who was still thinking why Tai doesn't like horror movies grinned at the reason behind it!

The smack to the face of the bed probably had him forgetting briefly and all the horror movies he probably did watch, caused him to have a nightmare in his sleep. That he forgot about liking the movies, to which Tai- who heard this reason just accepts it and says Joe nailed it, getting the blue hair, glasses wearing older Child of Reliability nodding in succeeding with his guess.

Don't even know wow, wow, wow, wow, what to do with my life, what scenario could be~?

After the dream without any end, in a world without nothing in it~

It seems like all of our dreams, will lose all of its light and crumbled into nothing~

Tai who is silently listening to everyone talking and discussing with each other. Definitely can tell how different things seem to be, as Sora, Mimi, Joe and Izzy- despite looking and acting similar to his previous life. All seem to be behaving differently than the ones he knows of, especially Joe- knowing how worried and constantly he is of others safety. He seems to be quite chill and relaxed, while being quite in control over his emotion without being overly worried about his health or the others. Though is glad that same old Joe is there whenever he mentions how they need to be careful with the wild life around camp. Especially with poison oak, poison ivy and especially wasps.

Getting Sora to wave her hands and telling the tall boy, they have nothing to worry about or fear. Considering this, they will make sure to stay within the camp grounds and follow the rules. With Mimi nodding her head, though went on a bit of a tangent of how if they will be doing anything that is exercise she is going to pass. Having Tai to smile as seems like no matter what world or universe he will be in- Mimi will be Mimi.

The wild-haired young man faces forward when the bus brakes hissed and comes to a stop. Having him look out the window and smile fondly at the sight of the green and yellow long sleeve shirt he recognized easily, along with the tan hat and blonde hair. TK! Who is saying goodbyes to his mother and began rushing his way onto the bus, to then smiling widely at the group chuckling and laughing when they waved back, with Tai doing the same. Asking TK how are things with his mom and if he is excited to finally meet Matt?

Even with these wavering wings, Full of images that tend to stay~

I'm sure that we can both fly, on my love~

Which TK happily tells everyone after sitting down and looking over his seat. That he is quite excited to see his brother, reminding them that the two of them have met before. Just spending time with one another, is tough with their parents' situation and being separated from each other. Having Izzy nodding his head, though, made sure to assure the boy that things will work out and won't have to worry about spending time apart with Matt. Getting TK to smile and nod, looking through the seats and spot Tai. Asking the boy why he isn't with Kari today and with everyone?

Getting the wild hair boy to laugh, saying to TK that Kari can take care of herself and told her to go on ahead of him when he went to visit Izzy. Which the Child of Hope nodded his head in understanding then laughed, about to ask Tai about the marathon- but paused mid-sentence when Izzy quickly did a cutting motion to his throat; telling TK not to bring it up and had the boy hanging onto his sentence for awhile, then quickly changed it too something else but bit his tongue when the bus hit a bumped. Saving him the embarrassment and Tai the trouble, having to answer something he probably wouldn't know about in this life.

I'll become a cheerful butterfly, and fly in the winds with earnest feelings~

I'll comes and see you, whenever and wherever you might be~

Tai couldn't help but stay silent throughout the bus drive towards the station. Watching in silence of his friends that were all here right now on the bus. Chatting away and having a good time with one another- it kind of pained him to learn how he had to leave the same friends from his previous life. Too handle a big situation with Meicoomon that he absently began lowering his eyes halfway and staring at the bus floor. That it caught Sora's attention from her seat, when she gave a silent glance towards the boy. Blinking her orange eyes towards the boy, wondering what got him looking upset.

That brought Tai's attention and quickly waved his hand towards the girl. Letting her know everything is alright and she needn't to worry. Sora lower one eyebrow at the sudden behavior, whispering out to him if he is sure? Which the wild hair boy sheepishly rubs the back of his neck and nodded his head, hoping Sora wouldn't press on the matter or alert the others. Surprising him when the girl raised her head lightly, then tilted it ajar towards the others- then back to Tai with a sideway glance, smiling softly while closing her eyes nodding in understanding. Letting him know if he has anything to get off his shoulder, she's there to listen. Having Tai to stare lightly at the girl and then eyes smiled at her kindness.

Words that are surprisingly handy, ambiguous convenient~

I'll shout it out loud, while listening to this hit song~

Throughout the bus ride and trip towards the station without any hiccups, minus a few times. The bus had to stop whenever some of the street lights and posts were having electrical discharges- it was pretty uneventful. This alerted both Tai and Izzy with how the bus suddenly had to stop a couple of times, with crossing guards being in middle of traffic and guiding cars that had to drive by. When the two boy's looked towards the bus window, the crossing guard was in the middle of the street and allowed the bus to drive by. Wave towards the two when passing by, having the two wave back and then grin at one another. Izzy saying how it was a good thing Tai warned the one back at his apartment building about the electrical discharges and sat back down on their seats. With the wild-haired teen nodding his head in agreement, who knows what would've happened while they were in the digital world?

It seems like wow, wow, wow, wow, wow there's something echoing in town~

The complex buildings and housing of the residential area were becoming less and less, as the bus is now driving and entering into the more business and industrial parts of the hometown of the Digidestined. Being about now an hour away from their homes and is slowly approaching the bus and train terminal. Where their teachers and staff faculties were waiting for all students to arrive that were participating in camp. Tai laughed when he saw Kari, the cheery and happy girl waving towards the bus- knowing that he brother was there. Wearing that outfit of hers from earlier but more neatly now. Even having the whistle hanging around her neck as the girl giggled like a school kid, when Tai waved back and smiled even more when he saw his friend Matt! Is also there with Kari, giving a slight two finger salute and a knowing nod.

Silently letting Tai know he was here for Kari and watching over the young sibling. Too then shaking his shoulder when TK, walked over to the window and smiled brightly at his older brother. Getting all concerns and worries out of Matt's system, being worried his brother wouldn't make it in time.

But it's a wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, there is no use in waiting, and need to move with my own feet~

After the dream without any end, in this world where misery exists~

That's right, maybe it's alright believing in this feeling without any reason~

The teens began stepping out of the bus one after the others, with Tai trailing behind with Izzy. The orange-haired boy tilted his head over his shoulders, "So Tai, how long does it take for us to arrive in the Digital world?" Asked the curious boy, who hops out of the bottom step of the bus and turns fully at Tai. Who also stepped down from the bus and began humming in thought, trying to figure out when it happens and starts. Listening to all the chattering and excitement of other classmates and students, arriving onto the terminal and waiting for when they can get onto the train.

Even with this stumbling wings, Full of images that tend to stay~

I'm am sure that we can both fly, on my love~

"Well I don't exactly remember but I do know, it was the day after we arrived at camp. Is when the Digital world sends us the Digivices and then transports us there." Tai explained while then grunting in laughter, when Kari came rushing over to him and brought him into a tight hug. Making sure to silently rub into him for a brief moment, then pulls away handing him his bag with a blushing smile. "Eheh...thanks Kari." Tai said with a slightly embarrassed tone, then laughed some more when the girl happily nods and grabs onto his arm. Being a bit clingy to the boy that had Izzy snickering softly, now understanding what his friend meant by his sister- is acting oddly than in his previous life.

"So excited Tai? Can't wait to figure out what kind of activities we can do at camp, as well spend a whole summer with you there too!" Glee Kari as she was bouncing with every step they made forward towards the line of students. Getting Tai to blush embarrassingly at the attention she's giving him, while having odd looks from other students- while some of them even looking to be jealous of HIM, having a sister like that- with probably the male group being awe struck by his sister looks. While the female populace looked to be jealous of Kari having a brother like him.

"Y-yeah am quite excited, eager too." Tai chuckled out winking towards Izzy. Who winks back with a knowing smile. Tai has been looking forward to regrouping with Agumon again and checking up with said Digimon, to see how he is doing. Even though the Child of Courage didn't tell him everything, he did go on and quickly explain to Izzy on their way here- about everyone's Digimon partner. Especially Agumon, who is like an irreplaceable friend to Tai and has quite a strong bond with. Having the child of Knowledge wondered if everyone was like Tai, and made quite the kinship with their Digimon partner's- even curious if he and Tentomon were the same?

After the dream without any end, in this world without nothing in it~

It seems like all of our dreams, will lose its light and crumble into nothing~

Even with this wavering wings, Full of images that tend to stay~

I am sure that we can both fly, oh yeah~

Tai let out a calming breath and began going through his thoughts and silently scanning over everyone now. Matt, Sora, Izzy, Joe, Mimi, TK and Kari- everyone was here to go on the camping trip, where their journey will start all over again and in a completely different life than Tai's previous one. Things have changed greatly after waking up this morning, being brought to life and giving a second chance to living a new life. Hearing the squeals and clunks of the trains passing by and going across the open spaced railroad. Hissing and whistling from the trains that were alerting people to its arrival, while the buses cranks and let out their own steam hisses and squeaking of breaks departing and arriving at the terminal.

The child of courage wasn't sure what to expect or how things will turn out this time around. Especially now that his sister is able to come on the camping trip? Things will definitely be completely different from before, along with Tai having to get used to this new Kari- who apparently has harbored romantic feelings towards him. Trying so hard not to blush or look embarrassed as he felt the girl, pressing more closely towards him and having his elbows. Rubbing and pressing gently into her covered breasts, while the girl just smiled and giggled about when they were stepping closer to the train. The young man could swear she was also giving small winks towards Sora, whenever the girl in front of them turns and checks up on the others. Having a pink tint to her face and raised a hand to her mouth giggling softly, before facing back forward.

"Hope you're ready Tai," Kari whispered out to him and smiled at the boy who looked down at her. "I have a lot of plans for us when we get to camp, along with a lot of fun activities!" Then gently placed her head against his shoulders. "I am going to make sure that everything will be good and fun for the both of us, just wait and see. You will like what I have in store!" Kari continued saying, ending her sentence with a bit of a sultry tone to emphasize exactly what they will be doing. Having the older boy to stiffen a bit, while then inwardly sighing to himself needing to remind himself, to ask Kari when he has a chance. HOW and WHEN did the two start becoming lovers, as she only hinted that last summer is when they got affectionate and close to each other- but didn't go into detail what caused it.

Ignoring that for now and seeing how Kari is quite eager to get started when they arrive. He couldn't help, after they entered the train and found a spot to look out the window. Blink his eyes and stared confusingly at the platform. Transparent versions of the Digidestined standing on the platform, looking back towards the boy- smiling and waving towards their leader and even began running along with the train as it departed.

After the dream without any end, in this world where misery exists~

That's right, maybe it's alright believing in this feelings without any reason~

Even with this stumbling wings, Full of images that tend to stay.

I am sure that we both can fly~

Tai tried his best to look at the transparent group before the train went into a tunnel and had the transparent Digidestined, disappearing from his sight. All having what seemed to be smiles and happy looks on their faces. As if to say they're glad Tai was safe and well, wishing him the best of luck. That the Child of Courage continued looking out the window, unaware he was standing slight off his seat that had Kari, curious of what was up? "Something wrong Tai?" Kari asked while leaning forward, watching him turn halfway around and then back at the window.

"...Yeah," Tai said with a content smile crossing his lips. "Everything is just fine and will be fine." He laughed, earning some confusion to Kari's face as the girl tried to see what caught his attention from the window. But spotted nothing, even looking to her brother wanting to know what's up, only for him to snicker. "Don't worry about it, I will let you know when the time comes." Laughed the boy, who then grunted out when Kari shrugged her shoulders and happily forced herself to sit on his lap, giggling happily and in playfulness- especially when Sora happily stole Kari's seat and sat with the Kamiya siblings. With Tai shaking his head and then smiling up towards the train ceilings. "Thanks, you guys...I will be sure to try and prevent the events with Meicoomon from happening. Thank you, for this second chance."

Ooooon my looooove~!
