Well…my boyfriend of seven months has broken up with me…come two weeks, I'll be alone for four whole months because I cannot move back home…imagine…in a town where no one knows you and you don't know anyone, all alone, no one there to give you a hug.
Yeah…that's gunna be me this summer when I'm not working 40 flippin' hours a week.
F.M.L.

----------------------Chapter Thirty-Four – Crank It Up!------------------------
At the Takashi household…
"None?" Kari asked in disbelief, about to cry.
Aiden and Taya, along with Maro, decided to go over to his parent's house and tell them in person about the baby. Maro had taken it well after Taya explained her uncontrollable eating disorder she had all those years ago. Taya was upset and depressed about the baby being gone, since she just felt empty inside, but her two boys wouldn't let her be depressed for long. She was glad to have Aiden and Maro's support through this difficult time. Losing her father, Cody, and now her unborn baby was enough to make her go mad.
Taya put a hand on Kari's and nodded. "The doctor said my insides are so damage, I won't be allowed to have children ever again…and they're going to keep an eye on me because I'm so torn up inside." Taya shrugged. "He said we could be looking at surgery months or years from now."
Aiden put hand on his wife's shoulder. "But we are praying for a miracle." He gave a smile to his parents. "And we are okay. We are a perfect little family as it is. Maro is really all we need." Taya nodded in agreement.
Kari gave Taya a big hug and T.K. gave Aiden a proud smile from his recliner. "I'm here if you need someone to talk to." She told Taya. "But I'm so relieved you guys are taking this well and have each other to lean on. And it's good you're talking." She smiled to Taya.
Taya smiled back. "I figured my father wouldn't want me to dwell or to close up."
T.K. nodded. "Yes, he would be torn if he saw you unhappy. If I know Cody, which after many of friendship, I think I do, he's relieved like Kari and I are."
Taya smiled to her father in law. "Thanks."
The touching moment was lost when they heard Sakura scream, "MOM, KANAYE PUT GUM IN MY HAIR!"
"I DID NOT! I WAS BLOWING A BUBBLE AND YOUR BIG HEAD GOT IN THE WAY!" was Kanaye's come back.
The adults shook their heads in amusement. Kari put a hand on Taya's shoulder. "Well, Taya, you can take some of my kids if you want."
Taya got wide eyes. "Um…I'm good, but thanks."
Aiden nodded. "Having one teenager is enough."
"Mom!" The adults turned to the staircase and saw Sakura come down with a foul facial expression. "Look what your son did!" She showed her family the mini-spot of blonde hair where there was gum stuck in it. She looked like she was about to cry.
Kanaye ran down the stairs, out of breath. "Don't believe anything she says!"
T.K. got up from his seat and crossed his arms. "Kanaye Raye, you better apologize to your sister. Now."
Kanaye growled and looked to his sister, who was being helped by her mother. "I'm sorry, Sakura." He said, trying to sound sincere.
Aiden and Taya blinked. "Wow, your siblings sure have changed over the years." Taya muttered to her husband, who was beside himself.
Aiden got up and walked to his parents and siblings. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up!" Everyone froze. "What's with you two?!" He looked to his youngest brother and his only sister. "You both have never fought and you're always the quiet ones!"
Sakura and Kanaye looked to their brother, shrugging.
Aiden sighed. "I do not like this whole "growing up" phase these two are going through."
T.K. shrugged. "It has to happen someday."
Sakura looked to Kari, with a desperate expression. "Mom, is there any way to save my hair before my date with Jonathon tonight?"
Kari smiled and led Sakura to the kitchen.
Aiden was frozen and Taya got worried. "Um…Aiden?" She got up and waved a hand in front of his face.
T.K. raised an eyebrow. "You okay, son?"
Aiden turned to T.K., his eyes wide. "I'm sorry, but…did I just hear my twelve year old sister say the words "my date" and "tonight" in one sentence?"
"Well for one thing, Sakura's fourteen now." T.K. pointed out.
Aiden glared. "That doesn't matter! She's too young!"
"And I've met Jonathon, her boyfriend, and he even came to my house and asked to date my daughter like a real gentleman." T.K. said with pride. "I approve."
Aiden shook his head. "My little sister can't date until she's thirty!" He took out his cell phone and started pressing buttons on his phone.
Taya and T.K. got confused. "Who are you texting?" Taya asked.
"I am texting Marc, Kiyoshi, Kannon, Matt, and Takeo and letting them know that YOU are a trader of this family!" He pointed a finger at his father. "What happened to Sakura would never date?!"
T.K. grinned. "I met the guy I always prayed for my daughter to fall in love with."

Takashi household…
T.K., Matthew, and Kanaye came back in the house, looking tired. "That better be the last of mom's bags!" Kanaye told his dad.
Kari came out of the kitchen and giggled at her son's comment. "Kanaye, you better be polite and have a good attitude this week for Uncle Matt." She put something on the coffee table.
Taichi wheeled over to his mother. "What's that?"
"This is a note for your Uncle Matt." She patted Taichi on the head and gave him a hug and kiss, which he was still not used to, but didn't argue. "I'm putting you in charge of getting that to him, okay?" She smiled.
Taichi nodded, giving a fake smile. "And Matt is the one with blonde always gelled hair, right? He plays the guitar too?" He still wasn't good with faces or names, but Taichi was sure working hard to learn. Matt got him back into the guitar scene. It was a miracle and shock to everyone that Taichi still played the guitar the same way he had always known. Like a pro.
Kari laughed. "Yes. Make sure he teaches you some new stuff."
Taichi nodded quickly. "Oh of course!" He said with some excitement.
She went over to the other two boys, giving them hugs and kisses on the cheeks. "You two be nice to Uncle Matt!" She told them in a firm voice. She looked to Taichi and Sakura, who was sitting on the couch close to Taichi, too. "You four do your chores too."
T.K. nodded. "Yes. Chores and this house better still be intact and one piece when we get back, alright?"
"Not to mention, don't give Matt a heart attack." Kari begged. "You guys have come close to that at times."
"Don't sneak out at night and make sure you have Matt's permission if you go somewhere." T.K. told them.
"No yelling or screaming."
"No fighting."
"No late nights."
"No horror movies or sleepovers."
"No parties."
"No smoking, drinking, drugs, or sex."
"No gum in the hair."
"No TPing each other's room."
"Keep your rooms clean."
"Do your laundry."
"Don't starve yourselves."
"Use your manners."
"And don't kill each other!" Kari and T.K. said that last part in unison, with all seriousness.
Matthew raised an eyebrow. "Can we get that in writing?"
Kari walked over to Sakura and gave her a kiss on the forehead and a hug. "Be good for your uncle, have fun at ice-skating this week, and please don't go anywhere without one of the boys, your uncle, or Jonathon with you."
Sakura smiled. "Yes, mom."
T.K. gave his four kids a hug and they finally left. Kanaye locked the front door and looked to his siblings. "What now?"
Sakura began to walk away. "I'm taking a nap." And she disappeared upstairs.
Taichi smiled another fake smile. "I'm going to watch TV." And he did so.
Matthew sighed. "See, this is the bad part of summer."
"What's that?"
"Nothing to do."
Kanaye smiled. "Hey, let's go play soccer!"
Matthew shrugged. "Sure, why not? Nothing better to do."
As the two brothers ran outside, Taichi got a tear. "I wish I could play…"
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
The next day…afternoon time…
Matt and Kanaye had just dropped Sakura off at ice-skating practice, now Matt was dropping Kanaye off at the park with Ryo, Maro, and some friends from school, to play soccer in the field. "So tell me about this Jonathon." Matt inquired, keeping his eyes on the road.
Kanaye shrugged. "All I know about him is that he's Sakura's new boyfriend and ice-skating partner, mom and dad love him to death, he likes ramen, he's from America, he's my age and in our grade, and he's apparently a gentleman."
Matt narrowed his eyes. "He better be a gentleman to my niece, that's all I can say." He pulled over by the park and Kanaye went to get out. "Call me if you need a ride back." Matt told his youngest nephew.
Kanaye looked to him. "No worries, Uncle Matt. Aunt Sora is taking Maro and me home after. I'll text you when we're done though."
Matt nodded. "That would be great. Have fun."
"Yes, sir!" Kanaye smiled. "And don't forget Jonathon is walking Sakura home!" Then he closed to car door and Matt left.
Kanaye ran up to his group of friends and they all greeted him. Maro swung a arm around his cousin's shoulders. "So how's life without grandma and grandpa?!"
Kanaye laughed and shrugged. "Not much different, man. It is nice to breathe though, since mom and dad always were around."
Ryo chuckled. "I bet it's nice to have a week off."
One of the boys from their school's soccer team ran up. "So your parents are out of the country?" The boy, whose name was Jacob, asked.
Kanaye nodded. "Yup."
Another boy named Will popped up. "Dude, you know what that means, right?"
Kanaye was now confused. "No…" Was it supposed to mean something?
"PARTY AT THE TAKASHI'S!"
Everyone cheered, including Maro.
Ryo looked to a confused as heck Kanaye. "You up for it?"
"What about Matt?" Kanaye asked.
Ryo thought about it, and then smirked. "I got a plan."
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
That weekend…four days before T.K. and Kari come home…
Matthew, Taichi, Ryo, May, Kanaye, Sakura, and Maro gathered around. "Okay, guys…mission: get uncle Matt out of the house is in action!" Matthew smirked with excitement.
Sakura shook her head, dreading this. "Oh, man, he's going to murder us."
Matthew pointed out. "Hey, hey…it's the thrill of it!"
May gave a nudge to Sakura playfully. "Don't worry, girl, we're going to have fun tonight!"
Maro was jumpy. "So what's first?"
Ryo gave a tiny, sneaky smile. "Calm down, Maro. We'll get this show on the road eventually." He looked to everyone. "Sakura and Kanaye, since you two seem to be the ones who Matt favors, you're in charge of getting him out of the house and going to my dad's. That's where I help. I'm going to convince my dad that he and the guys need a night out, so they might go out to a bar or whatever and have a few drinks. My friend Hiroshi and I are going to sneak into my dad's trunk and once they get to their location, Hiroshi and I are going to pull a few wires that will take the guys hours to fix."
"What about the others' cars?" Taichi asked, curious.
"When the dad's are inside, we'll switch a few wires in their cars too." Ryo told them.
"Until then, May and I will go grab random decorations and snacks. Taichi and Matthew, you two make sure you got good music and speaker system." He thought about it, and then got a idea. "Actually, Taichi, you remember how to play your guitar, right?" Taichi nodded slowly. "Okay, remember our band I told you about?" Again, he nodded. "We'll invite them early so they can set up. You, I, and the old gang will be the music."
Taichi shrugged. "Um, sure."
"I'll text you the songs so you can look them up online." Ryo looked to Matthew. "Make sure the speakers and mics are good."
Matthew nodded. "Got it."
Ryo looked to everyone. "Got the plan, guys?" They all nodded, with smirks. "Let's do this."
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Around 8pm that night…
Music blasting, snack table full, and tons of teenagers. "Party of a lifetime!" May screamed next to Sakura, who had to admit, this was pretty cool. May had her red hair down, pink off the shoulder blouse on, and mini-jean skirt. Sakura had her long blonde hair down, with a light blue spaghetti strap, and long black jeans, with white sneakers on.
Kanaye ran up to the two girls. "You guys heard anything from Ryo yet?" He yelled over the music, dressed in a nice black short sleeve dress shirt that was unbuttoned with a white T-shirt under it, black shorts, and sneakers.
Sakura and May shook their head and looked at the stage, where Taichi and the original band were cranking up the party! Taichi got dressed up, kind of like Kanaye, but he had a dark blue dress shirt, with a black shirt under, and tan shorts, with white sandals.
Matthew, who was hanging out with some of his friends from the Science club, looked at his brother with a smile. He looks like he's comfortable up there. Matthew had on a red button up short-sleeve dress shirt, with a white shirt under, which tan shorts, and white Vans.
As Sakura saw Jonathon come in, she ran over to him, and May went to the mic, making Taichi move. "Okay, let's give our awesome band a break and give it up for my girl band, 3 Dream Bunnies!" As the band began to leave their instruments, May ran to the huge stereo system and turned up the volume to max. Ashley Tisdale's Crank It Up came on, kind of a karaoke.
"Let's crank it up {crank it up}
Until the walls cave in
Crank it up {Crank it up}
Put the record on spin
Cause I am ready to party
Gonna get my girls and get naughty
Crank it up {Crank it up}
Until the walls cave in
Just crank it up"
As May and two of her friends were dancing, Ryo came in with his friend, Hiroshi, who had blue hair that was messy, but short, and they were both really sweaty. A girl who was talking with Sakura, Kanaye, and Jonathon said, "Gross." And walked away.
They shrugged it off and Ryo gave a nod. "Mission complete. They won't be here for hours."
Kanaye smiled. "Alright, that's more than enough time!"
"I systematically mo-move every bone
So crank it up I wanna get in the zone"
Everyone in the living room cheered for the three girls on the stage. Another song came on. A girl behind May took over, May taking her place.
"So I put my hands up
They're playing my song,
And the butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like yeah
I'm movin' my hips like yeah"
Sakura took Jonathon's hand, "Let's dance!" And they went out to dance floor.
A girl came up to Kanaye, asking for a dance. Kanaye shrugged. "Sure, why not?"
"Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA"
The girl immediately went into another song, May taking over again.
"Yeah, that's right, it's Sneakernight!"
Jonathon and Sakura joined Maro and another friend on the dance floor. "Dude, you guys know how to throw a party!" Jonathon commented.
Sakura laughed. "It's a shock to us too!" She told him over the music.
"We're unstoppable, we're uncontrollable
Just admit it, You can't stop it, It's addictive"
May stopped dancing and started clapping, which indicated everyone else to start clapping, which they did.
"Basically what we're gonna do is dance [3x]
It will come easily when you hear the beat, oh
Basically what we're gonna do is dance [2x]
All you gotta do is take a chance
Yeah that's right, it's sneaker night"
As they finished up the song, Taichi, Matthew, and Ryo got ready. Someone was joining the girl group on stage.
"Put your sneakers on...Let's go all night long..."
May gave Ryo the mic and Ryo waved to everyone. "Everyone having a good time!" After everyone screamed in response, Ryo continued. "I would LOVE to present a guest singer coming up here and showing her stuff! The beautiful Sakura Takashi!"
Sakura's mouth dropped. "Oh no…" Everyone started pushing her up to the front and she had no choice to go up.
Ryo gave May the mic back. "Sakura, remember those days when we danced to Cinderella?" She said into the mic. Sakura nodded, smiling. "That's the dance you're in! Get ready!" Matthew handed Sakura her own mic and Sakura giggled in embarrassment.
Sakura pointed to May as the music started. "I'm so getting you back for this!"
May laughed and went back up with the other two girls.
"When I was just a little girl
My momma used to tuck me into bed
and she'd read me a story"
Everyone was clapping to the music, which got Sakura dancing to the beat of their claps and the music.
"It always was about a Princess in distress
And how a guy would save her and end up with the glory"
May came up next to Sakura and took over her solo.
"I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I want to be
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me"
The girls started dancing in unison for the chorus.
"I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself"
Kanaye was enjoying the music when he felt his pocket vibrate. He took out with cell phone and his eyes widened. Mom's calling! He ran upstairs and into his parent's room, where was the far from the party. "Hi, mom!" He answered nervously.
"Hi, Kanaye! How's everything at home?"
Kanaye smiled, even if she couldn't see her. "Everything's dandy!" He gulped when Sakura made a long, sharp part to the song, which was loud.
"Kanaye, why's the music up so loud?!"
Kanaye shrugged. "Um…Matt's teaching Taichi the song guitar thing." He was so nervous he didn't know what he was saying.
"Kanaye, are you hiding something from me?" Kari's motherly instincts were kicking in.
Kanaye had no idea what to say, so the only thing he came up with was this: "Uhh, mom, hello, mom?! You're breaking up!"
"Kanaye, can you hear me?!"
"Mom, you must be in bad area! I can't hear you!" Then he pressed the "end" button on his phone. "We're so screwed when they come back." But then he shrugged it off and ran back to the party.
0o0o0o0o0o
In Spain…this was where the lovely couple was…
Kari and T.K. looked at each other. "They threw a party." They both said in unison.
T.K. pulled out his cell phone. "I'll call Matt."
0o0o0o0o0o0o
At the party…
When Kanaye got back downstairs, Sakura and May already started singing another song. This was the last song and then Taichi and his band went back on.
Maro came up to him. "Dude, where did you go?"
Kanaye bit his lip. "My mom called."
"What?!"
"Don't worry, I'm sure she didn't realize anything." Kanaye calmed him down. "Let's enjoy the rest of the party!"
Sakura and the girls were having fun upstage.
"No matter what you do, he's never gonna be with you.
He's into what he's got
He loves me, he loves you not."
Taichi, Matthew, Ryo, and their band was waiting for the girls to be done, when Ryo caught something. Red and blue lights.
Ryo sighed. "Oh, we are so grounded."
Matthew looked to him. "Why's do you say that?" He asked over Sakura's singing.
"The cops are here." Ryo said in a calm voice, pointing to the window.
Matthew's eyes widened. "WHAT?!" He looked to Sakura and May. "Sakura!"
"No chains to unlock,
So free to do what he wants,
He's into what he's got( that's me )
He loves me, He loves you not."
Sakura got in front and danced in a sexy way, her father would kill her.
Matthew waved his hands. "Sakura! May!"
"Give it your all girl, give it all ya got.
You can take your chance at a second hand shot.
Say what you want girl, do what you do.
He's never gonna make it with you."
"FREEZE!"
Everything went to a halt and Matthew turned off the music. Everyone looked to the front door. Matthew and the gang let out a breath they didn't know they were holding. Thankfully, it was only Marc and Kiyoshi. But unfortunately, everyone else in the room didn't know who they were.
"IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU, YA'LL WILL GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE AND GO BACK HOME! NOW!" Marc yelled at the top of his lungs. Suddenly all the kids, except for the digidestend, were gone out the door.
Kiyoshi reached into the crowd that was leaving and pulled Maro and Kanaye out. He shook his head at them. "Yeah, guys, I don't think so."
Marc grinned at his partner. "Told you I would get them out with only yelling and the lights on the car."
Kiyoshi sighed and reached into his wallet, pulling out twenty dollars. "Fine. You win."
Marc put the twenty in his pocket and looked around the house. "Okay…" He looked to his little cousins and chuckled. "You guys are in sooooooo much trouble."
Ryo growled. "I didn't even get to play on stage."
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
A few hours later…
The four Takashi teens, along with Ryo, May, and Maro, were cleaning up the whole house, and the parents/guardians weren't done yelling.
"Trashing your parent's house when they are out of town!" Matt screamed at the top of his lungs. "Are you kidding me?!"
Sora was steamed as well. "Ryo Kamyia, you are passed being grounded! Right, Tai?"
Tai came up, nodding. "You better believe it! Trashing my sister's house?! Come on, guys!"
Ryo rolled his eyes. "Do you guys really have to yell?"
Izzy was red faced. "May, we raised you better than this!"
Mimi agreed. "Young lady, you are grounded till the end of time!"
May groaned. "That's just peachy."
Aiden and Taya were trying to hold back their anger to Maro. "We're waiting till we get home to yell at you, Maro Chance-Jomei Takashi." Aiden growled out. Maro cringed. He did not like the sound of that.
Kanaye looked to Matt. "We're grounded too?"
"Oh you better believe it, buddy." Matt confirmed. "When your parents get here, they'll take over your punishment. Until then, you four are not leaving this house!"
Sakura got wide eyed. "Whoa, wait! I have ice-skating practice! If I don't go, I'm out!"
Matthew shrugged. "Come on, Uncle Matt, you can't do that to Sakura." Taichi and Kanaye agreed.
Matt sighed deeply. "Fine. Sakura goes to practice, but nothing else. You guys are trapped here."
Taichi gulped as Kanaye groaned. "That sounds boring."
"No, TV or music! Laptops are mine! Cell phones are mine! Doors remain open! And you will spend that time cleaning this house spotless! Outside and inside!" Matt yelled.
Matthew crossed his arms. "Why do I have a feeling Taichi, Kanaye, and I have outside?"
Tai came up to Matt. "And don't forget we need to find out who hi-jacked our cars." He told them.
The kids looked to each other. Our little secret.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Midnight…
Once they heard Matt's snoring, Kanaye and Sakura snuck into their brothers' room. "So what's up?" Kanaye asked, jumping onto Matthew's bed. Sakura gently sat on Taichi's.
Matthew smirked. "Before Ryo and Maro left, we agreed that at one, we would all meet up in the D-world." He continued, "Anyone wants to sneak in the digital world and play a little hide and seek?"
Taichi blinked in confusion. "But we're grounded?"
Matthew looked at him like he had two heads. "…and your point is…?"
Taichi shrugged. "Well, wont we get in more trouble?"
"Ah, but only if we get caught." Matthew pointed out. "And this time, we're going to try and avoid that."
"You're forgetting one thing, Matthew." The three brothers looked to Sakura. "We may have our digivices still, but how are we getting to the digital world without our laptops?"
Matthew grinned. "Sakura, Sakura, Sakura…think outside the box." He smirked. "Remember? Dad has a computer in the den." He looked to Taichi. "I know you have to take stairs to the den, but don't worry, I'll carry you on my back." Taichi nodded. "Let's hurry and get dressed, but be quiet!"
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
12:30 Sharp in the D-World….
"I cannot believe we are doing this!" Maro yelped when his four cousins arrived. Ryo had been there with him. And the digimon as well.
"I can." Matthew said. "We've done this like twice already."
"And each time, we've gotten in HUGE trouble!" Maro pointed out.
Lopmon sighed, shaking her head. "You guys will never stop, will you?"
"Like I told my siblings, I'm going to tell you: we are going to avoid getting caught." Matthew smirked. "Anyone ready for a game of hide and seek?"
Guilmon began jumping up and down in excitement. "Me! Me! Me! Me!"
The gang laughed. "Alright, Guilmon, you and Taichi go first."
0o0o0o0o0o0o
A few hours later…
Maro and Koemon were hiding in between two huge rocks by a waterfall. "They'll never look here." Maro whispered.
Koemon nodded quickly. "Indeed!"
"But we would."
Maro groaned. "It's like freaking clockwork." He muttered as he and Koemon looked behind him. Maro gulped. "Hi…Meramon, Dolphmon, and Dorugamon." He chuckled nervously. "Fancy meeting you here."
Meramon got closer and Maro and Koemon backed up against the wall. "Maro?"
"Yeah, Koemon?"
"This may be a good time to run."
"…just maybe." Maro and Koemon looked to each other. "RUN!"
They ran out of their hiding place, surprisingly not seeing the evil digimon running after them, but they kept running. "We gotta find the others!" Maro yelled to his partner, who agreed. "But I don't know-UGH!" He fell back with a thud. Maro rubbed his head. "I really need to start looking where I'm going." He looked and saw Matthew. He smiled. "Matthew! Oh, man, am I glad to see you!"
Matthew recovered and grabbed Maro's hand. BlackAgumon was behind him. "Maro, let's back to the others." He told him and they ran. Maro got confused, but figured they already knew.
Matthew, Maro, and their partners were almost to where Matthew left the others when they heard Sakura's piercing scream. Their eyes widened. "Sakura!" Maro yelled.
Matthew ran. "Keep running, Maro!" Maro obeyed and followed him. While running, Matthew sensed something was wrong and looked around, then looked up. His eyes widened. He grabbed Maro and jumped out of the way, along with the digimon.
"Sunshine Beam!"
Once they flew back, Matthew and Maro looked to their partners. "Digivolve!" They yelled. They obeyed.
"BlackAgumon digivolve to…DarkTryannomon!"
"Koemon digivolve to…Hookmon!"
Hookmon pointed his arm cannon to the sky, where Sunflowmon was. "Captain Cannon!"
"Kill the digidestend!" Matthew and Maro heard from behind them. They looked back and saw Dorugamon. Matthew got in front of Maro. "Power-"
"Oh, no you don't!" DarkTryannomon said. "Fire Blast!" He blasted Dorugamon away from the two boys. "Matthew, stay close to me!" Matthew and Maro went to run to him, but were stopped.
"Flame Drive!" DarkTryannomon couldn't move in time when Firamon tackled him.
Matthew blinked. "Yeah, I don't think that would be a good idea." He looked to Maro. "You okay?"
Maro nodded. "Yeah."
Matthew sighed. "Good, but we need to get to the others."
"No need!" Came Kanaye's voice. All eyes went to Kanaye and Gargomon, who slammed onto the ground, hard but with grace.
Antylamon jumped down next to him, gracefully, with Sakura on her shoulder, holding on tight. A "roar" was heard and out of the woods came Taichi on Growlmon's head; next to him was Ryo on Frigimon's shoulder.
"Leave them alone!" Sakura yelled.
Suddenly Meteormon and Lekismon came out of nowhere and attacked Gargomon and Antylamon, which made them fall backwards, taking Kanaye and Sakura with them!
Matthew's eyes widened. "Kanaye! Sakura! No!" He looked to Ryo and Taichi. "Get down before you guys get hurt too!"
They nodded, but it was too late. "Galactic Flare!"
"Night Bomber!"
Maro got worried. "Aw, man, we are so getting caught!"
Matthew looked to him. "Over my dead body!"
Kanaye grabbed Sakura's arm and they moved out of harm's way…or they thought they did. Ryo's eyes widened as he saw Grizzlymon heading for them. "Kanaye! Sakura! MOVE!" He yelled at the top of his lungs.
Kanaye and Sakura looked behind them, only to have Grizzlymon snatched the back of Sakura's shirt with his teeth, carrying her away. Grizzlymon stopped when he was away from the rest of the digidestend. "I got her!"
Lekismon noticed and nodded. "Retreat! We have what we came for!"
Taichi growled as he ran towards them. "You're not taking her anywhere!" He snarled as he jumped on Grizzlymon's back and harshly poked him in the eye, making him release Sakura. Grizzlymon got Taichi off, slamming him into the ground. Sakura ran to Taichi, who came to. Taichi grabbed her and ran away from Grizzlymon, who was trying to recover. "Let's go, Sakura!"
Growlmon came by and snatched Taichi and Sakura into his arms. They noticed the others were in their partners arms and gave a nod. Antylamon nodded. "Find a TV and get the kids out of here! Especially Sakura!"
Sakura got confused. "What?" She whispered. Why are they still after me?!
With the evil digimon following, Antylamon led them to the nearest TV to get the kids back to safety. Matthew held onto DarkTryannomon's red hair as he ran. "Wait, what about you guys?!" He yelled.
"We'll fight them off!" Gargomon yelled.
Kanaye shook his head. "I want to stay and help!"
Hookmon shook his head. "Too dangerous!"
"How is this any different from our other battles?!" Ryo yelled.
The digimon didn't answer, but stopped at a TV. They saw digimon coming. "Hurry!" Antylamon yelled.
Matthew growled, but obeyed. "Fine!" He pointed his digivice to the TV. "Digiport Open!"

At The Takashi's…
Matt, Tai, Sora, Aiden, and Taya waited impatiently in the Takashi living room for their kids. "I can't believe after all that happened, those kids had the nerve to sneak into the digital world." Aiden growled out as he paced.
"Aiden, calm down." Oh yeah…did I mention T.K. and Kari were there? Back early from their trip, angry. Kari sighed deeply. "When they get back, then you can be angry. Look at your father." All eyes went to T.K., who was staring to nowhere, red faced. "He's being patient. Of course, when the kids get back, he's going to murder someone."
"AH!!!!!!" A white light came into the house and out of the computer popped out the six kids. They looked up and saw everyone there. Sakura gulped. "Mom! Dad!"
T.K. stood from his seat. "You four are-" He paused when the computer had a bright light again. "What is that?!"
The six teenagers looked to the screen. Matthew got wide eyes. "Oh no…" Suddenly a force made everything in the house shake and the window broke.
"EVERYONE GET DOWN!" Tai yelled. As the gang got down onto the floor, they saw digimon after digimon flying out of the portal, out of the windows, into the city.
After a few minutes, Matthew knew they had to do something. He used all of his body strength and went to the computer. He reached under the desk, to the plug.
Sakura saw what he was doing. "Hurry, Matthew!"
Matthew used all his strength to reach the cord and once he did, he pulled it out, shutting the computer off. With the power off, the portal closed. A few digimon that came out last stopped inside the house.
Sakura tried to back up as Ravemon was in front of her. "Keeper of Innocence, you are to come with us!"
Matt ran to the closet with held all the sports stuff for the kids, and found a bat. He ran to Ravemon as he was about to grab Sakura and hit him on the back of the head. "Get away from her!"
"Sakura!" Lopmon jumped into Sakura's arms.
Matthew saw BlackAgumon. "What's going on?!"
Lopmon looked to Matthew. "We were too close to the portal when you opened it! All the digimon are here in the real world!"
"WHAT?!"
"And they're all looking for Sakura."

I wouldn't mind a pat on the back or a compliment or two.
I hope it was a good, or at least decent chapter.
I do not own Ashley Tisdale's Crank It Up; I do not own Miley Cyrus' Party in the USA; I do not own Vanessa Hugen's Sneakernight; I do not own Play/Cheetah Girl's Cinderella; I do not own Dream's He Loves Me, Loves You Not.
