So I just finished writing chapter 8, hope you like it. You wont understand some parts if you never watched the anime, so yeah. Hope you enjoy~

In the morning Stacey and Jenrya walked side by side to school.

"Thanks for taking me home yesterday," Stacey mumbled to him. He looked at her and nodded, giving her a smile. "Don't ever do it again."

"Hah, you mother was grinning at us when she saw me," Jenrya laughed. "She started freaking once she saw your leg!"

"But, both my parents did take the digimon news well…"

"Your call giving a fit, crying and then asking me to protect you, taking news well?" Jenrya asked. Stacey shrugged.

"I expected worst," She replied. He shook his head.

"Jenrya!" A male voice shouted as the two entered the school. They both looked to where it had come from. There, in a whole group stood, Riku, Takato, Hirokazu, Kenta and Juri.

"Wow, you guys join our high school, when we only have a week left before the break," Stacey looking at them strangely.

"At least we can register in school before we go to the digital world," Ruki said.

"Bleh, I'd rather not go to school at all!" Hirokazu groaned.

"Oh yeah, I wanted to ask you some Stacey," Ruki said, turning her head to her. Stacey looked at her. "Do you have one of these?" Ruki held up a blue-digivolution card. Stacey tilted her head.

"Um, no," She replied, looking at the card closely.

"Really?"

"Yeah, why would I have one?"

"It's a card that allows your digimon to digivolve," Ruki explained.

"I got mine in my deck of digimon cards," Takato said. Stacey looked at him.

"I haven't touched my deck, since I had a duel against Jenrya," Stacey said taking her deck out.

"Whoa! How many cards do you have?!" Hirokazu asked, jaw dropping at her large deck.

"That's more than Juri's deck!" Takato said. Ruki took the cards out of her hand and looked at them.

"I got these cards from people who didn't want them, or just bought some for fun," Stacey explained. Kenta sighed, shaking his head.

"Oh, here's one," Ruki said surprised. "I thought you needed… Oh nevermind."

"Well, I guess this is for Monodramon since Impmon can digi-volve on his own," Stacey said examining her card. Suddenly the warning bell rang.

"Oh snap, class!" Stacey said jumping. She took her deck back and rushed to her locker.

"I'll never understand that girl!" Hirokazu shouted, wonder why she cared so much about school. Everyone laughed.

Stacey collected her belonging as she stood to leave the classroom. She walked down the hallways to see Trisha walking the other way, talking to an annoyed Ruki. Trisha glanced at Stacey and purposely shoved her shoulder into hers' making her fall down, dropping her books in the process. Trisha looked at Stacey and laughed. Ruki quickly looked at her and then dropped down to help pick up the fallen books.

"What the heck at you doing?" Trisha asked.

"Helping her, what do you think?" Ruki muttered.

"Such a geek?"

"Look who's talking," Ruki shot back, glaring at her. She turned back to Stacey, helping her up in the process.

"Thank you Ruki," Stacey mumbled. Trisha shot them a disgusted look.

"Stacey! Ruki!" Jenrya shouted from the group of friends approaching them. Trisha frowned.

"So many people hanging with a geek," She muttered.

"What're you doing Trisha?" A male asked her. The male had dark brown hair and eyes. He glanced at Stacey quickly.

"Oh hey Jared. That loser bumped into me without apologizing!" Trisha whined, obviously lying.

"Come on, I doubt she meant it," Jared replied. Trisha glared at him.

"Are you taking her side?" She asked darkly.

"N-no, I-"Jared tried to say.

"Sorry, it was my fault," Stacey said, mumbling, not looking at them, her gaze on the floor. Jared glanced at her with a pitiful look. Trisha marched away, signaling for Jared to follow. He quickly looked at Stacey and said,

"Sorry Stacey," Stacey nodded, not meeting his gaze. Ruki glanced at the two as Jared began to walk away. Sensing the built up tension, Ruki decided against asking, she'd ask Jenrya later.

"Come on, we have a few more days here before you'll get to see a new awesome place!" Ruki tried to make it sound exciting, failing in the process. "I'm not good at these things."

"Don't worry, I'm use to it," Stacey said flashing Ruki a fake smile. She noticed Jenrya frowning while looking at Stacey, sympathy in his eyes.

Interesting She thought.

--

The days went by fast, while not having any more accidents with Trisha and Jared. Ruki learned from Jenyra that he didn't know much, but he knew something was wrong. Stacey was walking home, taking with Jenrya about the digital world.

"Do I need to pack anything serious, like food?" Stacey asked. Jenrya shook his head.

"It's not really needed; the laws of the digital world are different than the real world. You only feel hungry when you want to be. You can last almost years without eating."

"Wow, that's really strange."

"You'll get use to it," Jenrya said grinning.

"I can't believe it's only a few more hours until our departure…"

"I guess," Jenrya said. They two arrived at their houses. "See you tomorrow at 6am, I'll pick you up so your mother doesn't freak."

"Okay, bye," Stacey said blushing and waving. She entered her house and went straight to her bedroom. "We're going tomorrow…"

"Yup!" Monodramon chirped.

"Wonder where they found the portal," Impmon wondered, leaning against the wall.

"I think I recall us meeting at Ruki's house," Stacey said as she began packing. A knock of the door sounded when she was almost finished. "Yes?"

"Stacey, make sure you take care of yourself when you're away," Her mother said opening the door. "It seems like yesterday you were a little girl running around the house screaming out in joy."

"I guess," Stacey replied, sweat dropping at the memory. "I will."

"Here's something that will protect you," Her mother said handing her a necklace that displayed their family picture. Stacey smiled and hugged her mother. She started crying. "I hope you the best of luck, and make sure you save Cameron." Stacey nodded.

"I will. Thank you, mom."

--

Stacey awoke to her phone ringing. Groaning she picked it up.

"One second, let me get ready," She murmured to Jenrya on the phone. "Do you want to come in fir-"

"Nah, I'm already in," Jenrya said opening her bedroom door to find her lying on her bed. She sighed, thanking that she sleeps in her regular day clothes. "Your mom let me in,"

"Geez, she's already awake?" Stacey groaned. She glanced at Jenrya. "Get out of my room."

"Yeah, yeah," He laughed as he left. Stacey quickly changed and grabbed her backpack, cards and sleeping digimon and left her room. "You done?" She nodded. The two said their farewells to her parents and left.

"Ruki lives pretty close-by so we don't have to walk fa-"Suddenly they head a card honk. They turned their heads to find a well coated black car parked in front of their houses.

"Hey it's Ryo!" Jenrya shouted. Ryo got out of his car and waved at them. "Since when did you start driving?"

"Since I was 16!" Ryo said laughing.

"Oh yeah, you can start driving when you're 16," Stacey said. Ryo grinned. "Nice ride by the way."

"Thanks!"

"Don't we have to get going?" Jenrya asked Terriermon mumbled something from sleeping on Jenrya's head. Stacey grinned.

"Well come on," Ryo laughed as they boarded the car and headed to Ruki's house.

"Twenty year old and you still haven't grown up," Ruki sighed at Ryo when they arrived at her house. "Come on, we're going to go soon."

"Whoa! This is a Digital portal?" Stacey asked as she stared at the burst of light. She yelped as it grew brighter and hurt her eyes. "Geez!"

"You're going to hurt your eyes!" Takato laughed. Stacey glared at him.

"You could've told me earlier!" Stacey grunted. She pulled a case out of her backpack and put on her glasses. "A few days back I asked my parents to adjust something on my glasses."

"Since when do you wear glasses?" Jenrya asked.

"There's a slight difference they make," Juri said.

"Glasses are for nerds! You look so nerdy!" Hirokazu laughed.

"I wear glasses," Kenta murmured sadly.

"Glasses are cool!" Stacey shouted at him, punching him in the arm, making him yelp.

"Can we just go?" Riku asked annoyed.

"Geez, such a loud ruckus," Impmon groaned, waking up.

"You can't even stand waking up early," Renamon said. Impmon glared at her.

"Let's go," Ruki said as the entered the portal. Everyone else followed.

"Whoa! This looks so cool!" Stacey exclaimed.

"Calm down," Jenrya said sighing.

"Oh crud, A FLYING QUESTION MARK!" Stacey said ducking before getting hit by it. Renamon sighed.

"Calm down toots!" Impmon said.

"Sorry! I'm just not use to this, I think I'm starting to miss home," Stacey said frowning.

"Don't worry," Juri said smiling at her.

"At least you're not as bad at Hirokazu," Kenta said. Hirokazu hit him on the head. Takato and Ryo laughed at the two.

"How much longer until we're there?" Monodramon groaned.

"Shouldn't be much longer," Renamon said.

"Geez, my feet hurt!" Terriermon cried.

"Mine too, Takatomon do something!" Guilmon said.

"Geez, it's bright!" Stacey said as her glasses turned to a darker shade to act as sunglasses. Jenrya nodded, putting on a pair of sunglasses.

"My eyes!" Hirokazu yelled. Suddenly there was a weird zap, and then they were hanging up on different angles.

"Not this again! Juri don't do what you did last time!" Hirokazu yelled. Stacey held her head.

"Awh! The blood's rushing to my head!" Stacey cried.

"Fine, I'll do it!" Kenta yelled. "That way's down!"

"AHH!" Everyone cried as they fell downwards.

"Kenta!" Riku screamed.

"Someone had to do it!" He said. Stacey groaned as her head pained an ached. She suddenly felt herself get lifted off the ground.

"Beelzebumon!" She said as she looked at him.

"You hit your head," He stated plainly.

"I can walk! I'm just to getting inflicted with injuries! I'm a danger prone!" She shouted blushing furiously while fidgeting in his grasp. He sighed and set her down.

"OK! So first we need to watch out for any data streams!" Takato said, peering around.

"I hate those things! They're like a bad rollercoaster!" Terriermon shouted.

"What's a rollercoaster?" Guilmon asked.

"A really fun ride!" Terriermon replied, emphasizing his statement with his hand movements. "Makes you feel sick to the stomach at the end though!"

"Oooh, Takatomon, can I ride on when we get back?" Guilmon asked.

"Uh, I don't think you'll be able to Guilmon! You're too big! Plus, I don't think people would appreciate seeing a red dinosaur riding a rollercoasted…," Takato said, smiling awkwardly at the image.

"What's a data stream?" Stacey asked Jenrya.

"It's a long beam that descends from the sky, that can take you anywhere in the digital world. We choose to avoid them because it could separate us, to who knows where!" Jenrya explained.

"Oh, so you mean like that thing coming at us right now?" Stacey asked as she pointing behind him.

"What?" Jenrya asked turning around. "WATCH OUT! DATA STREAM!"

"What!" Hirokazu asked.

"It's coming!" Ryo shouted.

"Run!" Ruki yelled. The data stream was too fast. They managed to jump away from it, but some weren't so fortunate. Beelzebumon shielded Stacey and Monodramon as they were picked up by it, along with Jenrya, Terriermon, Hirokazu and Kenta with their digimon.

"Guys!" Takato shouted.

Cliffhanger....
