3. Naming lessons.

Jen's dad, also known as Tao, one of the Monster Makers, wasn't too happy about the news he got from Jen and Shuichon (animatedly) yesturday.

Apparently he knew, if the digivice of anyone's reacted at all it practically means that the Digital World needs them, but he didn't want to put his children or the others in danger so he kept quiet as none of the children knew about this since it is only recently developed news that is compeltely classified to outsiders, even if you can't call the tamers outsiders because they are certainly insiders, even more inside than any of the adults.

That morning, he made his way to Hypnos headquaters to see Yamaki, and told him about all these details. He wasn't very happy either. He didn't see anything unusual about the Digital World recently, and what happened with Hirokazu's digivice is completely unknown since no one really had special contact with it unless it has a unique program of its own.

Anyway, let's look at the lives of the tamers first.

See, for a few days now Juri is trying to persuade Takato to call her Juri and not Katou-san, because in her opinion it's starting to sound a bit old after their encounter with the digimon and D-reaper.

Here's a track of conversation they've been having one day.

(Flashback starts)

"Takato-kun?" Juri asked, when they were the ones left in the classroom after school to prepare for some certain things.

"Hai, Katou-san?" He replied.

"You know...after all these happened in the last few months, I've always been wondering, why is Takato-kun still calling me Katou-san?"

"It's formal and polite." He said simply.

"But we're friends, aren't we? And friend's call eachother by their first names, don't they?" She said while looking at her puppet.

"Un! We are friends!" He said quickly. "But Okaasan told me to be polite to my friends." He stuttered a bit at that.

She held up her puppet. "Juri wouldn't mind. Wan!" She said with her puppet. "Call her Juri! Call her Juri! Wan!"

"Hai..." He said nervously even though there is nothing to be nervous about. "Juri..."

"Hai?" She couldn't help smiling.

"...san?" He finished off. "Juri-san?"

"..."

"Ano..." He seemed lost for words. "Juri...san?

"I wouldn't mind if you call me Katou-san, Takato-kun, but you are free to call me Juri." She winked at him and he looked away from her, dazed, blushing at the window.

(Flashback ends)

So Juri was about to try again when she gave up again which means she didn't try again. They had a very good chat in the park about Guilmon and bread. So let's move on the next people.

Hirokazu and Kenta were trying to discover why his digivice lighted up the previous night when the rest didn't. They did some pretty crazy and stupid things.

(Flashback starts)

"Give it up Hirokazu, I know you know something," Kenta threatened. "Or I'll tell your dear 'mama' about your exam results that you changed..."

(Another flashback starts)

"Hirokazu-kun, come to my office with me please." Nami-sensei told him one lunch time.

"H...ai..." He looked at Kenta, and he looked at him, so he had no choice but to follow.

They arrived at the teacher's room.

"Hirokazu-kun, you have not made a satisfactory score in this week's test." She started.

Hirokazu nearly rolled his eyes. He NEVER makes a satisfactory score in tests.

"...So, to prevent you from doing this again, that is if you do it again, I shall inform your parents about every score you get for all of your tests and exams this year and leave them to make the decision whether you should get extra classes or else." She finished fully.

"NANI?" Hirokazu complained. "Oh Sensei please don't, I promise I will work extra hard! I promise!" And then he starts literally jumping up and down.

All this while, Kenta was peeking from outside the door, trying to hold in giggles.

(Another flashback ends)

Hirokazu glared at him. "Don't you dare." He said and took one of Kenta's most precious digimon cards. "I shall rip this if you do, you know?" He said properly.

"Dame! Hirokazu, please don't!" Kenta begged. "Anything but that!"

(Flashback ends)

Ai and Makoto, also Mako, the tamers of Impmon were at home. Technically, only Ai is the actual tamer of Impmon in ways, but every tamer and digimon knows that Makoto is as well. Still, they took turns to wear their digivice around their necks. Good sharing.

They were still asleep around this time. Ah, the childhood...

That morning, Ryou woke up early rather comfortable in soft blankets and beddings, and then remembered he wasn't the one sleeping on the ground. The Matsudas didn't have a spare room(which Takato's parents apoligized about) and they didn't want to make him sleep on the ground on a futon because they were just too nice, so they had no choice but to give Takato's bed to him and let Takato sleep on the ground. Well, it's not like he hasn't done it before. Even thought Ryou rejected a couple of times he still lost againest Takato, so he gets the bed and Takato gets the floor on a futon.

Ryou jumped on the ground gently, knowing that Takato will be sleeping and didn't want to jump on him or wake him. But he wasn't there. Instead, there was a note on his desk.

[RYOU-SAN, SORRY, I DIDN'T WANT TO DISTURB YOU. KATOU-SAN WANTED TO TALK TO ME ABOUT SOME THINGS AND I DIDN'T WANT TO TURN HER DOWN. IF YOU ARE HUNGRY PLEASE GET SOME BREAKFAST FROM MY PARENTS. THANK-YOU.]

Ryou chuckled. Of course Matsuda Takato will choose Katou Juri over him, it's in his nature even if he might have left for her before the sun came out, funny.

He got up and went down to say good morning to Takato's parents.

"Ohayo gozaimasu, Matsuda-san." He said to Takato's dad.

"Ohayo, Ryou-kun, I see you're awake." He said pleasantly. He obviously knows that Takato is out as well.

"Hai," Ryou murmured while trying not to yawn as in not really good manners in front of your friends' parents.

"Would you like to eat anything?" Takehiro Matsuka asked.

"Hai." Ryou said eagerly. He liked the bakery's bread. Some of Takato's bread had fallen into where Ryou was when his group had just arrived in the Digital World, and it tasted good...

"I'll get you some bread, would you like anything else?"

"Thank-you. Bread is fine."

"No need to be formal with me." Takato's dad winked with a smile.

Ryou smiled back and nodded. "Un!"

He let Ryou choose the bread he wanted, they all looked yummy, and he took a few pieces at random. But then Takato's mother came in and of course made Ryo get more.

"You are our guest!" She said. "Please eat as many as you want." She smiled.

At the same time Ryou was getting bread, Ruki was having her ideal breakfast, rice and miso soup. (It is very healthy! Ding!)

She was eating when her mother walked in the dining room in her pyjamas.

"I'm still sleepy..." She half yawned.

"You can go back to sleep." Ruki's grandmother, Seiko told her. "Or do you have a photo shoot today?"

"I don't, but I want to get up anyway." She said, flashing a smile. "Ruki-chan?" She said to Ruki.

"Mama?" Ruki said, looking up.

"I thought...nevermind."

Ruki went back to eating.

"I thought I saw that boy called Ryou yesturday..." She said distantly.

Ruki choked on her food.

"Ruki-chan?"

She kept choking.

"Ruki-chan? Daijoubu ka?" Her mum asked, now anxiously.

Ruki recovered. "Daijou..." She said while absorbing oxygen. "...bu." She took a deep breath.

"Sou...is he back then?" Rumiko said awkwardly.

"Why do you ask?" Ruki shot back.

"Soure ni..." She scratched her hair - an action she does when she is doing something bad.

"Just let her go, Rumiko, Ruki is only eleven." Ruki's grandmother said calmly.

"What are you talking about?" Ruki asked, getting nervous.

"I was thinking that maybe you eh...might want to...eh..." She stuttered, hinting Ruki the 'idea'.

"Oh!" Well, she's smart. "I...er...I'll just be going now..."

Ruki went back to her own room, blushing.

Don't get her wrong, the reason she was blushing is not because she likes him or something, it's because the incident from yesturday was still unforgotten. Anyway, someone who forgets something like THAT in not even one day they will be either someone with a very bad amnesia or someone who sees those things as normal.

Now let's see what Jen and Shiuchon are doing.

Jen is making a Lopmon and a Terriermon with Shiuchon, since she woke him up in the morning saying something about rabbits and never stopped until Jen told her they are making toys in the shapes of Terriermon and Lopmon. Of course, when they come back again they will be very angry to see the 'others', of themselves, but to settle down Shiuchon, it's the only way.

"Itai!" Shiuchon poked her finger with a needle, and started crying.

"Don't cry, Shiuchon..."

Then their mother came in, and told them off for playing with needles.

A/N: Ages

According to Digimon Wikia, the movie 'Runaway Locomon' was set six months after the series ended (not sure if that is true or not). The seires ended in November to December, which means, Ruki's birthday was most likely in May. In Japan, the new school year starts in April, and even if the student's birthday is one day later than the day school starts they will not be allowed in school until next year unless they use some other way (most likely). Which means, if Ruki's birthday is in May, then she is turning 12 in the movie, instead of 11. This still does not explain the statement Ruki made to Takato that 'sakura aren't blooming yet'. Sakura blossoms are in March or April. Though, counting on how because of the D-Reaper winter seemed later than usual, the same may be with the sakura blossoms. If Ruki's birthday is in March, than she will be turning 11. So Ruki is either 12 or 11. That means, Takato, Jen and the others minus Shiuchon will also all be from 11-12. IF, by any chance, Ruki's birthday IS in March, and someone's birthday IS later than her's but before April, then they will still be 10.

As for Ryou, since from the games and everything we learn he is more or less the same age as Taichi from Digimon Adventure, he should be 13 or 14 in the movie. It is unclear whether the series is set in 2001 or 2002, and since the movie is the next year, we are totally confused. Which means (again), that he is at the most 3 years older than the others minus Shiuchon. Shiuchon is 4 years younger than Jen, which means her age is 7-8.

AHHHHHHHHHH! THIS IS ALL JUST TOO CONFUSING! T.T
