I'm really frustrated with myself right now. Looking back at my outline, I found out that I only had one thing planned to happen today (It'll be pretty obvious what I'm talking about after reading it), so I moved some stuff around and added to the day. Hope you enjoy!

Sunday

Matt let out a moan as rays of light came through the window and smacked him right in the face. He swiftly pulled the sleeping bag further up over his face and inched down further into it. His mind couldn't exactly register why at the moment, but he'd been up late last night and his head was pleading with him to be shut down for a few more hours.

He could hear clicking and the occasional voice, both muffled by the sleeping bag being pressed into his ears. Figuring those noises meant someone was awake, he knew he should probably greet the day.

He pried the sleeping bag from his head and looked around to see himself lying on his stomach on the floor. For the first time, he noticed how sore his back was. Everything came rushing back to him, but how TK had convinced him to give up his bed he'll never know.

He rolled over onto his back only to cause the light to go directly into his face again. He sat up quickly to escape it while rubbing his poor, sleepy eyes.

"Morning!" TK chirped.

Matt wanted to grown at how cheery he sounded. "How are you up already?"

"Some of us were busy working while you caught up on your beauty sleep," Izzy teased.

"Working on what?" Matt sat up and crawled over, taking the sleeping bag with him, to where Izzy and TK had the computer sitting on the floor. Izzy was in front of it, thumbing the mouse while TK sat off to the side. "Oh come on, Iz! The Digital World?"

"I check on it every Saturday," Izzy defended, "Since the Digimon can't contact our world for fear of being discovered, I have to contact it."

Matt watched Izzy type in some computer code to a box that had just popped up. "But you don't have to. There's never any problem that our digimon can't handle on their own. Besides, pretty soon you won't even be around to check on them."

"…Right."

A loud yawn came from the corner of the room, and they turned to see Joe sitting up and stretching.

"Good morning!" TK called causing Joe to snap his head in their direction. He'd completely forgotten he wasn't at home.

"Oh hey, guys… I guess this explains why I kept dreaming about a rabid lawnmower coming to get me."

Matt tilted his head. "What are you talking about?"

Joe simply pointed to Tai's bed where from under the covers came a loud snore every few seconds or so. To be honest, Matt was so used to it, he didn't even notice.

"Maybe we should wake him up," Joe suggested, "It's already… ten o'clock! Oh no, I have to go!" He began shuffling his bag around trying to gather up everything in it.

"Do you have a class or something?" Matt asked while fiddling with the zipper on the sleeping bag that encased him.

"No, I told my parents I'd be over there about now to visit."

"Your parents actually want to see you? Mine are still mad about the questioning."

"They're not that mad," TK defended, "They're… annoyed."

"It's a pretty angry annoyance," Matt grumbled.

Joe shoved the last of his stuff in his bag. "I'm going. TK, did you need a ride into town?"

He admitted, "Probably, the subway's always cramped on weekends."

"Hey, can I get a ride too?" Matt cut in, "I'm supposed to meet up with Sora today."

"Fine but both of you better be ready in a few minutes," The elder warned taking another glance at the time.

"What about me?" Izzy asked finally tearing away from his computer.

"What do you mean? You've got Tai!" Matt exclaimed while gesturing to the sleeping figure.

Izzy raised an eyebrow. "He's not conscious."

The younger blonde squinted his eyes to get a better look at the computer screen. "Aren't you almost done with your check anyway? It can't take that long."

"Normally no, but according to Tentomon there's been some strange activity. Some digimon have been causing problems in the Digital World with seemingly no motive, and I'm trying to pinpoint the cause."

Matt stretched his arms forward preparing to have to get up. "Well I don't think Tai's doing anything today. He'll sit here and pretend to help you when he gets up."

"Joe just couldn't drive a few more blocks," Matt grumbled causing TK to frown slightly.

"We don't have to walk that far…" he trailed off already knowing the response he'd get in return.

"But we'd have to walk less if he didn't 'need' to be at his parents 'right now.'" He shoved his hands farther down into his jacket pockets and picked up his pace causing the younger to follow suit.

TK shrugged not taking the complaints the least bit seriously. His brother was just grumpy because he'd been woken up, by his standards, early.

TK let his feet guide him down the sidewalk automatically as he exchanged a word or two here and there with Matt. He'd walked this way so many times that he only ever looked forward to catch sight of the road before crossing.

They reached one of their destinations, TK's apartment building, and with a quick goodbye, the younger treaded through the entrance and was forced to swerve around a boy coming from the other direction. Where ever he was going, he sure was in a hurry.

Matt hadn't seen him coming, and the two ended up knocking shoulders. They exchanged quick apologies before the boy went dashing down the sidewalk. He also tried to continue before TK grabbed his sleeve prompting him to stop.

Matt turned to see his brother with wide eyes and a distant look. "What?"

"You don't know who that was, do you?" TK's voice was almost accusatory.

The elder took turned to watch the back of the figure that was now steadily traveling down the sidewalk. He stood tall but still not reaching the height of either of the brothers. His hair was comparable to dirt-covered straw. The boy turned causing Matt to catch a glimpse of emerald eyes.

Matt's eyes grew wide in shock. "Is that… Cody?" He choked out the last word half-expecting it to be wrong.

TK merely nodded, so Matt continued, "…He's taller."

"Yep," the younger confirmed with an obvious bit of sorrow.

"Hair's more than just a bowl now."

TK's lighthearted chuckle was laced with a hint of bitterness. "I'd be proud if I knew him."

Matt took notice and turned to face his younger brother with a concerned look. "You know we're all sorry about the 02 team."

"Yeah, I know," TK muttered as if he was a child being lectured not to color on the walls yet again.

"There was no choice…."

"Actually there was," he corrected with even more bitterness manifesting behind his words, "My team could've helped."

Matt narrowed his eyes and suspiciously asked, "Your team? What about the eight of us? We're not your team?"

TK hesitated. "You are; it's just… they are too."

"Were," The elder corrected.

He waved his hand like it was no big deal. "Right… were."

"Sigh."

Izzy stopped typing and looked curiously to Tai who lay on his back staring up at the ceiling. "…Did you just say 'sigh'? You didn't actually sigh; you just said it?"

"Yes because you get mad at me if I sigh and complain I'm breathing too hard on your keyboard!"

Izzy hit a few more keys causing the computer to shut down. "Well it doesn't matter now because I think I've come to a conclusion."

Tai rolled over and looked up to him hopefully. He'd been trapped and forced into sitting there for the last few hours and was bored out of his mind. Something good must have came out of it!

"Tomorrow we'll have to go onto the Digital World to investigate further what these Digimon are up to."

The brunette's face fell instantly. "So you didn't find anything, and you don't have a conclusion."

Izzy waved his hand in the air, swatting away Tai's words like a fly. "It's just going to take a little time. I'm sure it's nothing, but we need to pinpoint the problem just in case."

He stood up and began gathering his various computer supplies. Tai followed suit and pushed himself to his feet. He scratched the side of his head thoughtfully.

"Weren't we already doing something tomorrow?"

Izzy gave him an exasperated look as he leaned down to pick up the last of his stuff. "My weekly status reports?" Tai's blank expression didn't change. "…The pill?"

"Oh, right, right!" he exclaimed before sorely adding, "That pill. You think the report will help figure out who didn't take it?"

The redhead didn't meet his eyes as he slowly wrapped his computer chord. "The purpose is to track the effect the pill has on everyone, if someone didn't take it, it should show."

Tai nodded feeling a little less stressed. He wouldn't have to figure out who it was because it'd be obvious. He could figure it out in time.

"Hey," Tai called having just realized something, "how are you going to keep asking us questions for your status reports when you don't remember the answers?"

"Huh?" Izzy called shuffling his items around in his hands seemingly having missed what Tai said.

"If you lose your memory as we lose our memory, how are you going to ask us recall questions?"

"Oh that…." The redhead giggled nervously. "Uh, I've archived all of the planned questions and answers, so I don't need to remember them."

Tai had stopped listening as soon as Izzy laughed. His eyes had grown large and round. "Izzy, what did you do?"

"What do you mean?"

The brunette jabbed his finger through the air to point at him. "That's your lying laugh for when you're lying!"

Izzy bit his tongue to keep from giggling again and gave Tai an incredulous look. "But there's nothing to lie about."

A dark shadow fell over Tai's face as he looked Izzy up and down. "No way…"

The redhead stared back at him doing his best to stay calm.

"It was you, wasn't it?" his voice was suddenly a whisper that Izzy had to strain to hear.

He tried his best to avoid them but finally met Tai's eyes. They were filled with confusion, resentment, and a hopeful doubt that he was wrong. Most prominent of all, he looked hurt. "Tai-"

Tai suddenly exploded as his newfound anger and resentment came to the surface. "You didn't take your own pill! But-but- what the hell? Are you kidding me? Why would you… What's wrong with you!"

"Let me explain-"

"Did you take the pill or didn't you?" Tai's low voice was forceful and commanding. Some may call it his 'leader' voice; he called it his 'don't-want-to-take-anymore-crap' voice.

Izzy stared at the taller boy not knowing how to respond. The truth wouldn't exactly help him here. His mind was reeling. Out of all of the scenarios, he had never pictured a confrontation coming this early.

Noticing the long pause, Tai repeated, "Did you?"

Izzy's voice was weak, but there wasn't a giggle in it. "…No."

I feel so evil right now. Despite all logic, Izzy didn't take his own pill. Why he would do that? Gee, I don't know ;)
