One week later

Everyone was enjoying themselves in the most beautiful and peaceful place of Odabia; The Odabia Park. People were enjoying themselves; some were talking, some were walking or were just simply sitting; children were playing, eating and were running all around.

It happened to be that Dragons –X were also enjoying themselves. After the 'Barking boys' incident, Dragons-X planned to have some fun. Naturally all of them seemed to forget about it but Matt was the only one who remembered that promise.

Flash Back

"Hey you, Barking or Darkening boys, if you want to get out of here then go now or we will do this the hard way." Matt said.

"We will go! But we will meet again." Alex said as he was pointing towards Tai and the others, "especially you!" as he pointed towards Matt, "remember that, and that's a promise!" with that Alex and his gang exited the basketball court.

End of Flash back

Matt had a strange feeling about that promise, he expected them to return but they wouldn't, and now it was one whole week. He used to wonder why they didn't fulfill their promise. Perhaps it was like Tai said with pride, "We are too good for them. And they fear us all because we have what it takes to be the best!" Tai wasn't the only one who tried to convince Matt, Sora too had been in a lot of doubt before, but when she got to know about Matt, she pushed out those feelings and convinced Matt some how.

Matt was now sitting under the shade of the tree, thinking about that promise. He tried his best to forget about it but then again he always failed. He watched others; they were so happy and carefree. They were acting as if nothing was wrong at all. In one way he felt happy, but in another, let's just say he wasn't.

"Knock knock!" said Sora as he appeared behind the tree.

"Hey Sora, what's up?" Matt tried to sound cheerful.

"Nothing at all. What's up with you?" asked Sora.

"Well I was—" Matt was about say until Sora cut him out. She said,

"No, don't tell me that you are thinking about that stupid promise again!" Sora said knowingly.

"Yeah……I am………actually………" Matt said as he bent down his head.

"MATT!" Sora said with a sigh.

"Well I can't just take that out from my mind!" Matt blabbed.

"Yes you can! You know you can, but then you just lose your hope and say 'I can't do it!' " Sora said dramatically.

"I just don't understand this! Why is it so easy for you guys to take that out from your minds and why is it so hard for me?" Matt said.

"Well that's because unlike you we don't care about it. And besides it's just a stupid promise nothing else. It can't harm any of us." Sora said with an assuring tone.

"Okay, try explaining that to my brain!" Matt said as he pointed towards his head.

"That is what you have to do. I am explaining to you, and you have to explain that to your brain. Understood?" Sora said as she pushed Matt's head by one of her fingers.

"Yes Ma'am!" Matt said with a smile as he saluted. Both of them laughed.

"Hey guys if you want to eat anything, then you better go and eat, because Tai and Davis already got their hands on the food!" Kari said as she appeared behind the tree.

"Where does all that food go?" T.K said as he was standing next to Kari.

"Probably in their stomachs." Kari said with a sigh.

"Uh……man they better not finish the whole food basket!" Sora said as she got up and dusted her clothes.

"Yeah……they better not or else!" Matt said as he also got up and dusted his clothes.

"Well say that to Tai and Davis." T.K said.


"Jeez how can you eat too much? I already lost my appetite!" Mimi said as she watched Tai and Davis with disgust.

"Really can we eat yours too?" before Mimi could say anything Davis snatched the plate from Mimi's hand.

"Uh-oh I think I am going to get sick!" Mimi said as she got up and ran, with her hand cupping her mouth.

"I better go see whether she is alright or not. And don't you guys dare eat my food!" Joe said with a glare, as he ran to catch up with Mimi.

Tai and Davis looked at each other, they shrugged and went back to eat.

"Hey hey, don't eat take anymore of the food from the basket!" Sora exclaimed as she picked up the basket to see only one sandwich.

"Thanks a lot you guys. You ate everything and just left a sandwich! Why didn't you eat that too?" Matt said sarcastically.

"Well I am always open, if you don't want to eat that then give it right away!" Tai said as he snatched the basket from Sora's hand, and took out the last sandwich piece.

"No way! There is no way I am going to let you eat that!" Matt said as he snatched the sandwich from Tai's grasp.

Tai shrugged and then he was about to pick the last chicken stick when Davis took it.

"That's mine give it back!" Tai yelled.

"I was the one who took it first!" Davis yelled back.

"No I was!" Tai shouted.

"I was!" Davis shouted.

They both were busy fighting that they didn't notice the chicken stick fell from Davis's grasp and landed on Tai's plate. When Matt saw that they were busy fighting, he quietly went to Tai's side and picked up the chicken stick from his plate and then he ran away.

"I have the chicken stick and I am going to be the one to eat it!" Davis said with a smirk. He was about to bite the chicken stick, when he saw that it was not in his hand. "Hey where did it go?"

"You took it remember." Tai said with a frown.

"Well I don't know where it went. It was in my hand a while ago but now it is not there!"

"Please tell me that you are lying!" Tai said as he pushed Davis and started to check everywhere.

"I am not lying." Davis said as he was finding it too.

"It's not here! Oh I get it! You have hid it somewhere so that you can eat it later. Isn't that right?" Tai said with smirk.

"Why would I hide and eat it later? I wish I knew where it was." Davis said as started to think about it.


"Hey Sora wait up!" Matt shouted.

"Hey Matt. Why are you running?" Sora asked.

"Well I got this!" Matt said with a smile as he showed Sora the chicken stick.

"Where did you get that? I thought Tai and Davis would have eaten it!" Sora said with a surprising tone.

"They would if I hadn't picked up when they were fighting for it!" Matt flashed a smile.

"That sounds like typical Tai and Davis. Always fighting for food!" said Sora with a laugh.

"Yeah!" Matt said with a laugh.

"So here you go Matt." said Sora as she handed him the sandwich.

"Well don't you want to eat it?" Matt asked.

"No it's okay, you eat it." Sora said.

"Okay take one half and I'll take the other. Okay?" Matt said as he handed Sora the half piece.

"Err……Okay! Thanks!" Sora said as she took the half sandwich.

"Your welcome!" Matt said.


Soon it was time for them to leave. Everyone collected their stuffs and headed towards the van.

"I wish we could stay a little longer!" Yolie said.

"Don't worry we would come here again!" Ken said with a smile.

"This place is very good! We should come here more often!" Cody said.

"Yeah I agree with you! I recently discovered very amazing facts. And I would like to come here again to find out more!" Izzy said.

"Well at least he enjoyed some how." Davis whispered in Ken's ear.

"Davis I heard that!" Izzy said.

"Hehehe!" Davis laughed nervously.

Everyone laughed at Davis's funny expression.

"Let's go guys!" Matt shouted.

Matt was driving the van, Sora was next to him, behind them were T.K and Kari, behind those two were Joe and Mimi, behind them were Ken and Yolie, behind those two were Davis and Cody and behind them were Tai and Izzy.


Later that night

When Matt reached his house, he saw a mail for him. He picked it up and then he went to his room. He dropped himself on the bed because he was exhausted. Then he decided to read the mail. Matt opened the envelope to find a paper folded in it. He carefully unfolded the paper and started to read. It said:

Matt,

I want you to come at the alley which is near to the Odabia's disco, sharp at 11 pm. I know you would be wondering who this is, but I am not going to tell you. I hope you won't ignore my invitation, finding it as a 'Prank joke'.

Signed

Anonymous.

Matt checked his digital clock; the time was 10:30 pm. Huh? That's strange. Since when did I start to get these kinds of mails? I wonder who this is. And I hope this is not a prank joke by Tai or the others. And I don't think they would do this. Only one way to find out………I will go there! Matt thought with that he went to get ready.


Later that night at Izzy's house.

Izzy was about to sleep when suddenly he heard something crashed. He ran downstairs to find out who it was.

"Who is it?" said Izzy as he was holding a baseball bat with both of his hands. When he went in his study room, where he keeps his all investigating stuff (A/N: It's like a Lab.), he saw that the class cover of one of the preserved thing was broken. He immediately called Tai and the others.

After 10 minutes

"What's up Izzy?" Tai said with a yawn.

"Yeah……why did you to call us in the middle of the night?" Joe asked.

"Well?" Sora asked.

"Izzy you better hurry up! I don't have all night for this!" Yolie said.

"Yeah! I need to have my beauty sleep! But if you keep disturbing me then how the heck would I get it?" Mimi said as everyone sweat dropped. "What? Don't' give me that look!" Mimi exclaimed.

"Izzy please hurry up!" Tai said.

"He would if would only let him speak!" Cody yelled.

"Since when did he started to yell?" Davis whispered in Tai's ear.

"Guys keep quiet! Izzy is about to tell something!" Ken told everyone.

"C'mon Izzy tell us!" T.K said.

"Izzy is something wrong?" Kari asked.

"Yeah you look like as if you have seen a ghost or something." Sora said, "Well?"

"Guys………I hate to tell you but………… the black gear has been stolen!" Izzy said nervously.

"WHAT!" everyone exclaimed in unison.


So who stole the black gear? And who wrote that letter to Matt? Well there is only one way to find it out...stay tuned! And review too!
