Davis: Adele and I found the digimon sneaking away in the middle of class. When we went to return them, Adele suddenly went to the digital world! She stopped a fight between Centarumon and Meramon and by being confident, Dracomon was able to digivolve into Coredramon for the first time! We learned about an evil group of digimon called the Puritans who are dead set on finding the perfect digimon!

"I thought babies were supposed to get a lot of sleep." She mumbled. Babydmon was once again jumping up and down on her stomach like a trampoline.

"Adele wake up! I want toast!"

She groaned and lightly picked up the digimon to prevent further stomach damage.

"Make it yourself. In the kitchen." She set Babydmon on the ground who began to float away to the kitchen on a mission.

Adele rolled over and snuggled back into the couch with a smile. It was so comfy and warm. . .

"ADELE!"

A bag was dropped onto her head and she shot up with surprise. On her lap was a loaf of bread.

"I couldn't find the toast but I found this stuff! It's similar right?"

The girl couldn't help but laugh. Of course the poor digimon didn't understand the concept of a toaster but this was just too cute!

"Follow me, I'll show you how to make toast."

The loaf of bread scare caused adrenaline to pump through her veins and she was now fully awake. She held her digimon in one hand with the bread in the other and entered the kitchen.

The stove clock read 4:30am. It wasn't until now that Adele realized it was still dark outside. She inwardly cursed but could not bring herself to blame the cute little creature in her arms.

She set Babydmon on the counter and opened the bread bag. "Watch closely."

Babydmon watched intently as Adele placed the bread into the toaster and pushed down on a button. When she did, the bread disappeared from sight.

"You let it eat the toast!" He wailed in despair. Adele began to laugh.

"Just wait a minute."

The digimon stared at the toaster with an evil glare. That monster had just eaten his bread!

Then, there was a loud popping sound and toast popped out of the toaster. Unfortunetly, Adele had a crappy toaster so the toast was sprung into the air and onto the counter. Babydmon jumped in fear and leaped into his partners arms.

"Hey it's okay! Look, there's toast!" The digimon turned and his eyes gleamed at the sight of his favorite food on the counter.

"Yay!" He wasted no time as he started to devour it. Adele smiled.

"How is it that the brave digimon who beat Meramon was afraid of a toaster?"

"Hey! I was Coredramon then! If I was that big now, that magic machine would have been burned to a crisp!"

Adele was about to correct him and say that the toaster wasn't magic but decided against it. There was no need to go into an entire science lesson.

"I'm sure it would have been."

With her digimon taken care of, the girl decided it was time to feed herself. She felt to lazy to cook anything so instead she got herself a bowl of cereal. After she was done, she told Babydmon she was going to take a shower.

"What's that?"

"It's like a bath." She explained.

"Eww! Why would you willingly take a bath?"

"You have to take one this weekend." Upon closer inspection, she noticed that her digimon was becoming a bit dirty.

"While you take that shower thing I'll make more toast!" An image popped in Adele's head of an apartment full of toast. She frowned.

"You know what? You can sit on the sink while I shower."

After grabbing her usual change of cloths, Adele grabbed Babydmon and set him on the sink. "Stay." She ordered. Then, she got into the shower and took off her cloths, throwing them over the side and starting the water. It felt nice and relaxing.

"Where is the water coming from?"

"A tank."

"Hows it get here from the tank?"

"Magic."

Yep. Adele decided that whatever became to difficult to explain to Babydmon would now be magic. It wasn't really lying right? It would seem like magic to anyone who'd never experienced modern technology.

When she finished her shower, Adele stepped out in a towel and quickly got dressed. She blow dried her hair which settled into it's usual small curls and slipped her beanie on her head. Coverup was applied to the dark circles under her eyes. By the time she was ready for school, it was only 6:00am.

"Now what are we supposed to do for the next hour and a half?"

"Make toast?"

"No. No more toast. I've got an idea though. Let's play a game."

"A game?"

"Yeah. It's called hide and go seek. I'll hide and then you have to try and find me. Then we can switch. Count to twenty."

"Okay! 1...2...3..."

The next hour and a half was spent playing hide and seek, both players having an immense amount of fun. Babydmon won more which Adele justified by saying he was smaller so it was easier to hide. Other times, Adele would freak out when she found Babydmon in places like the dryer.

"Come on Babydmon, it's time to go to school."

"One more round?"

"You can play with Demiveemon later. Let's go."

Giving in, Babydmon jumped into her bag and she was off into the hallway. It was a bit early to get to school but Adele liked being early anyway.

The elevator was empty and she rode down without any pitstops along the way. When the doors opened, she calmly made her way to school.

Babydmon was constantly whispering nonsense into her ear from the corner of her bag, some of which caused her to laugh. When she did, people would give her weird stares and start walking past her faster then usual.

"Are we there yet?" Babydmon whispered.

"We'll be there in just a sec. I just entered the school gates. Now shush!" Adele was holding her hand to her ear so it looked like she was talking to someone on a bluetooth phone.

Once she arrived in the computer room, she realized that she was the only one there. She let Babydmon out who was smiling at first, then frowned.

"Where is everyone?"

"It's still a bit early. I'll wait here with you until-"

"COME ON DEMIVEEMON, WE HAVE TO HURRY. I'M LATE!"

Adele pulled out her phone. School didn't start for another 15 minutes. She was sitting in one of the computer chairs with Babydmon while listening to Davis's footsteps get closer.

Casually, she began to spin around in the chair. Babydmon laughed chanting "faster!"

The door was slammed open with Davis who was panting and Demiveemon who was on his head laughing.

"That was fun Davish!"

"Morning Davis!"

Davis looked up and saw Adele sitting in a seat spinning around with Babydmon on her lap laughing. He then realized none of the other digimon were in the room.

"Where is everyone?"

"Not here yet."

"Then they're later then me!"

Adele pulled out her phone and handed it to him. His eyes widened.

"June you jerk!

"Who'e June?"

"My sister. So then I ran all the way here for nothing?"

"Not for nothing. You still had to get to school either way." Adele giggled. She stopped spinning and was now trying to get the world to do so as well.

"Why are you here so early?"

She pointed to the In-training digimon on her lap. "He wanted toast, so he woke me up at 4:30am."

"Really?"

"Yesterday we were up at 5:30am because Babydmon likes to 'rise with the sun"

"Damn."

Adele set Babydmon down and let him play with Demiveemon. They began to play fight claiming that they wanted to know who the stronger one was.

The computer lab door opened again revealing Kari and Gatomon. She smiled when she saw Adele but was shocked to see Davis. Davis jumped up from his seat to greet her.

"Hey Kari!"

"Davis?! Why are you here so early." Adele hid the frown making it's way to her face. She didn't know why it was there but she decided to smile instead.

"If it makes a difference he thought he was early."

"June messed with my clock!" Kari laughed.

"Of course, that's the only way you'd ever be early."

The doors opened again to reveal Tk, Cody and Yolei.

"Morning guys!" Adele chirped happily. They also greeted her and were also surprised to be Davis.

"Wha-"

"Something about June and a messed up clock." Adele answered quickly. The others nodded with understanding and let their digimon down to play. Upamon and Poromon quickly joined into the little digirumble between Babydmon and Demiveemon. Everyone was watching with slight interest.

"We should get to class." Cody stated. It was quickly agreed to as the Humans filed out of the computer lab.

"Babydmon, please stay put this time." Adele pleaded quickly. The digimon nodded a quick 'sure' and continued to play. Adele gulped as she exited the room and shut the door behind her.

She was walking slower then usual with Kari in front of her seemingly annoyed with Davis. She turned and noticed Adele lagging behind.

"Is something wrong?"

"Umm. . ." Adele's eyes flickered nervously at the classroom. Of course John was already there at his desk flirting with the girl next to him who seemed totally into it. Kari followed her gaze and her face hardened.

"Don't worry about him. He's all talk. If it gets to be to much I'll come over and help you out okay."

"Alright." They entered the classroom and took there seats. Adele slipped in and instantly pulled out a piece of paper to sketch. She hoped if she looked busy John wouldn't come over.

It only took her a moment before she decided what to draw. Her pencil glided smoothly across the paper sketching the outline for her picture.

John was about to get up and come over when the teacher walked in. Adele let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding.

At lunch they all went to the computer lab to eat and after school they did the same. Yolei was out to her families store to get some food for the digimon and Tk hadn't made it there yet.

"So, are we going to the digital world today?" Davis asked. He was practically bouncing up and down with excitement.

"We will as soon as Tk and Yolei get here. Tai said he would text me later about whether or not he's coming."

Tk was heading over to the Computer Lab when he ran into the school nurse. He could hardly see her under all the files she was carrying.

"Tk is that you? Could you help me with these files please?"

"Umm. . . sure."

The nurse was trying to pass him some when half the stack fell to the ground. She set hers aside to start picking them up. Tk did the same.

As he was picking up the files, he stumbled upon an open one.

Adele Dyer.

Could he read it? No, he shouldn't, but curiosity got the best of him.

What he saw made his eyes open wide and drop all the files he had just picked up.

Adele was spinning around in the chair again with Babydmon and Veemon on each of her shoulders. They were laughing as she started going faster and faster.

The door opened to reveal Yolei with a bag full of food.

"FOOD!" Veemon exclaimed. He jumped off Adele's shoulder and tried to get over to the bag. Instead, stumbled over into the wall and fell. Everyone began to laugh.

"More for me!" Babydmon yelled before he too crashed into the wall trying to get there as well. Adele had stopped spinning and was trying to stop the dizziness.

The door slammed open again, this time revealing a panting Tk. He ran into the room, grabbed Adele, and ran back out.

"I'm borrowing her for a second! Be right back!"

"Hey Tj! What do you think you're-" The door was slammed shut before Davis could finish his sentence.

Adele was stumbling through the hallways as Tk dragged her along.

"Tk! Give me a sec, I'm still really dizzy from spinning with the digimon!" He ignored her and didn't stop until they were in a separate hallway from the one before. Then he let go of her hand and glared at her.

"Why didn't you tell us you were suffering from depression before!"

Adele's heart stopped.

"How did you-"

"I accidentally saw your medical file. Adele this is serious! You only got over it a few months ago!"

"Look, I talked to my doctor and she said that I would be fine to come here as long as-" She stopped and bit her lip.

"As long as what."

"As long as I don't put myself under to much stress." She whispered. Tk froze. She had to be kidding.

"you're kidding right? 'Don't put yourself under too much stress Adele, just go save the entire digital world that's all!"

"Look, I don't have a choice in this. I have to help okay? I was given this thing for a reason and I'm not going to abandon anyone who needs me!" She exclaimed while pointing to her digivice.

Tk's eyes softened.

"I'm just worried that's all. What if you're depression comes back?"

"Then I'll start taking the spare medication I brought with me alright? Just don't tell the others. Please, I don't want them to worry."

It was silent in the hallway. Adele was begging Tk and Tk was contemplating the deal.

"Fine. Just let me tell Joe okay? He's training to be a doctor and he can help me make sure nothing happens to you to make 'it' come back."

"You don't have to look out for me."

"But I'm going to because you're my friend. The others are your friends too and I hope when you're ready, you'll tell them. Well, excluding Joe."

"I promise. Thanks Tk." With matters settled, the made their way back to the computer room.

When the door was opened four sets of curious eyes were staring at them. They were staring back trying to seem as casual as possible.

"So. . . what was that about." Yolei asked. Tk and Adele shared a glance.

"Oh well. . .Tk was just asking me a question for class. He was sort of embarrassed that he didn't know the answer."

Kari was still suspicious. "Well he could have asked me."

"Oh, he especially didn't want to embarrass himself in front of you." Adele added quickly. Both teens face's went red and they couldn't look each other in the eyes. Adele elbowed Tk lightly in a joking manner.

"I don't get it. I embarrass myself in front of Kari all the time!" Davis frowned. Yolei and Adele laughed.

"And where does your relationship stand now?"

Davis glared at Yolei as the two girls and Cody laughed. Kari and Tk were trying to laugh but the two of them were still really embarrassed.

Babydmon jumped onto Adele's head. "Why are there faces red? Are they sick."

And that sent Adele practically falling to the ground howling in laughter. Adele and Yolei were leaning against each other to keep from falling with tears in there eyes as they laughed. Now, Tk, Kari and Davis felt extremely awkward.

"Okay, okay." Adele giggled as she tried to breath. Yolei was doing the same.

"Let's get to the digital world shall we?"

"Yes!" Kari agreed instantly, glad for the distraction. The digidestined held out their digivices to the computer and were sent to the digital world.

"So Tai isn't coming?" Cody asked when they landed. Kari checked her phone quickly but their were no new messages from her brother.

"No, I guess not. Anyway, what's the plan again?"

"Ken said he would meet us here in a few minutes and then we're going to split up into groups of 2 and have a look around. We'll look for any signs of fighting digimon or the camps that they baby digimon are being held in. Maybe we'll be able to find out how many there are. We'll split into our usual groups." Tk explained.

Adele suddenly felt oddly out of place. Of course, there were six of them and they already had there groups, so she would end up being an extra. She didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable by joining their group. Wow, this felt oddly like a school project.

"I'll just go by myself!" Adele pipped in before someone could awkwardly offer her a spot.

"Oh! You can come with Yolei and I!" Kari offered. The girl shook her head.

"It's okay, really. Dracomon and I will be fine by ourselves. If anything comes up we can contact you."

"I guess..."

"Good. We'll head this way. Ready buddy?"

"Always! Come on lets go."

Tk opened his mouth about to protest but they were already off. He was starting to worry. What if she got too stressed?

Adele waved to the others as she and Dracomon set out. Truthfully, she was nervous about going off by herself. What if something happened?"

"You okay Adele?" Her partner asked.

"Yeah... I'm just, nervous about being by myself. What if something happens and I can't help or we can't find anything?" (it had been relatively quiet since they got there.)

"Come on Adele! You've got to be confident!"

"Okay. . ." She looked down at the little crest around her neck. It gleamed in the afternoon light. Why of all things would she get the crest of confidence? Why couldn't it be the crest of doubt or something?

Then again, how do you save the world with doubt?

Ten minutes later Adele's feet were getting sore. They ended up walking across some type of weird desert. It was extremely hot and Adele already felt like her energy was drained.

"Hey, I have an idea!" Dracomon stated excited.

"What's that?"

"I can digivolve and you can sit on my back and we can fly! It'll be fun and it'll be easier to see stuff from the sky!"

"I don't know. . . Shouldn't you save your energy?"

"And walking through the desert is helping how?"

"Good point." Adele grabbed her digivice and looked at it.

"So umm. . . how do you digivolve?"

"You've got to be confident!"

Adele took a deep breath. She was nervous about being by herself, but she would prove to the others that she wasn't dead weight. She was going to find something or help out. She was going to do her part.

"Dracomon. Digivolve."

A beam of light shot out from her digivice and enveloped Dracomon in it. The digimon smiled.

"Dracomon digivolve too!"

His body got bigger and a darker blue. Adele grinned. It was the same dragon that she was drawing in class earlier.

"Coredramon!"

The digimon was on all fours. He bent his head down.

"Climb on up partner."

Adele smiled as she grabbed onto one of Coredramon's horns and climbed on. She sat on his neck with her hands gripping tightly onto his horns.

"Let's go!"

"Hold onto your hat!"

With a mighty roar, Coredramon launched himself into the air. It was his first time flying, and it felt great.

"Wow!" Adele gasped. She began to laugh with joy as they rushed through the air across the desert.

"Pretty cool huh?" Coredramon asked her over the wind. She smiled.

"The coolest."

"I know!"

Soon, Adele spotted a weird area on the ground. It looked like a small town surrounded by a big brick wall.

"What's that?"

"I don't know. Let's check it out." Coredramon flapped his wings, moving faster. Soon, Adele could make out small buildings and crates. The placed looked run down and old containing way more digimon then it should have.

"Coredramon! That must be-" The digimon swerved out of the way as a yellow beam soared past them.

"What was that?"

"Nothing good. I'm turning around."

"Land a little ways away. Maybe we can get a closer look on foot."

"They're firing lasers at us and you want to get closer!" Coredramon yelled in disbelief. He did a barrel roll through the air to avoid another attack.

"What choice do we have?"

Adele jumped off Coredramon who immeaditly changed back to Dracomon.

"How are you feeling?"

"I've been better." He huffed as got off the ground.

"Do you want to head back to the others?"

"Are you kidding! I can handle this, lets go!" Adele giggled as she and the digimon began to walk back towards the structure. It was about a mile away so it took longer then they would have liked, but they went back all the same.

Twenty minutes later the pair was silently hiding behind a dune and looking at the structure. From what they could see, there was a brick wall surrounding a few old buildings. Two digimon stood at the door, guarding it. One was black and the other was white.

"What are those guys?" Adele asked her partner.

"PawnChessmon. Don't worry, I can take 'em!"

"But you aren't going to. For now, lets just find out what's in those walls, not try to get in. Follow me."

Adele walked over to digimon trying to seem lost. When she got close enough to them, they raised there spears. Adele pretend to fall.

"Oww! Stupid injury." She frowned, holding the wrapped up burn on her arm.

The PawnChessmon brought there spears closer.

"State your business." The black one ordered.

"My injury. It hurts. Is there someone inside that could help me." The two digimon looked at each other before they began to laugh.

"They can't even help themselves, let alone help you. They're to weak to do it!"

"How's that?"

"Those are all the stupid digimon who couldn't even win a simple battle. Digieggs too. What disgraces."

So this was one of those digital prison places for the losing digimon.

"Oh yeah! We'll, I bet they could beat both you're digital asses as soon as we let them out!" Dracomon cried. Eyes widened. Suddenly, the white one charged at them.

"Intruders! Nobody escapes unless they are strong enough. Pawn Spear!" Adele leaped out of the way hardly missing a stab to the heart.

"Baby Breath!" Dracomon fired his attack at the White PawnChessmon sending it flying into the brick wall. The second PawnChessmon snuck up behind him.

"Pawn Lighting!"

The black PawnChessmon hit Dracomon with it's spear sending electric waves through his body. The digimon cried out in pain.

"Stop that!" Adele screamed. She ran forward and pushed the PawnChessmon away from her partner. Dracomon got up growling.

"Tail smash!" He swung his tail and hit the black digimon in the stomach, sending it into the while right next to the white one.

"Let's get out of here! Dracomon, digivolve." The beam of light hit Dracomon in the chest.

"Dracomon digivolve too. . . Coredramon."

Adele ran over and climbed onto his neck. "Let's go!"

"Aww come on! We could totally bust in there right now!"

"With out a plan? No way. Let's just get back to the others.

Coredramon took off into the air and began to fly back across the desert. A bell was rung and suddenly, the yellow beams were being fired at them again.

"Crap! Coredramon can you get through this?"

"You bet!" He spun out of the way of one attack and flipped over another. As he was straightening out, a beam clipped his wing. He howled in pain.

"Coredramon! Are you alright?"

"Fine." He hissed in pain. He could no longer flap his wings and was doing his best to glide.

"No you aren't. Land now."

"But-"

"Do it!"

Coredramon grumbled but landed on the ground and not a second later, dedigivolved back to Dracomon. The digimon stumbled forward, exhausted. Adele felt a pang of guilt flow through her.

"Let me carry you." She said gently. Dracomon shook his head.

"I can walk just fine."

"Please? If I need you again to fight you've got to have the energy to do it." After another minute of arguing, Dracomon was seated on Adele's back and was being given a piggyback ride. She silently wished he was Babydmon right about now.

They walked for another two miles before they finally caught sight of the Tv. Adele was huffing and almost out of breath with Dracomon sleeping on her back. He'd had less energy then he initially let on. Six figures were waiting for her by the Tv.

"Almost there." She mumbled. Just one more step Adele. Just one more step.

Her legs were wobbling terribly. Tk noticed her first and waved. "Hey guys, it's Adele!"

Adele was still stumbling. Finally, her body could take no more and her knee's buckled, sending her to the ground.

Davis watched her fall. It was almost like slow motion. She was stumbling with Dracomon on her back when she suddenly fell to her knee's and then face first into the ground.

"ADELE?!"
