A/N: I put up a poll just to let yall know. Anyways, Takuya has moved on with his life as he goes to high school as a freshmen... I wonder what will happen?

Epilogue

High School in Session, Time for a Lesson

"Hurry up Takuya and wake up! Your going to be late for your first day in high school and you don't want that now do you?" Takuya's mom yelled over the simmering of the egg omelet she was making for his breakfast.

Actually I kinda do...he thought, in bed.

Takuya's POV

[ *Yaaaaaaaaaawn* And so it begins.... high school. I'm not sure I'm quite read for it though, but I really don't have much of a choice. Today is my first day in high school and it seems like I'm about to be late already. You'd think I could get a few extra minutes to sleep, but nooooooooo...

Any who, Its been a long while since I've seen my friends. I already miss 'em, especially Zoe.... God, I miss her!.

I better catch the bus.]

And so Takuya hurriedly rushed to the restroom to get ready for school. He brushed his teeth, took his shower ( he was looking for it, lol), and brushed his messy hair as it drooped over his eyes due to the heavy moisture.

He quickly ran out the restroom to change into some comfortable jeans and and a maroon shirt. He was about to place his signature cap and goggles on when he realized it was time to move on from that stage of his life. He was growing up and there comes a time when one must grow up and out grow certain things. He held the items in his hand and placed them back on his night stand. He then looked at them one last time and walked off out the door with his book sack on his back.

***

"There's my Takuya!" his mom was cheering as she made breakfast.

He came down the steps and landed in his seat on the breakfast table. His dad came in the room with a newspaper in his hand, and Shinya following behind him. Shinya mischievously sat down on the breakfast table along with Takuya.

"Wow, both of you are both growing up already!" Mr. Kanbara closed his newspaper to study his children.

"I'm going to be a seventh grader!" Shinya proudly yelled as if no one knew that, therefore the whole world needed to hear it.

"Yep! Pretty soon we'll be looking at two grown men in the house!" Mrs. Kanbara served everyone their meals.

"Hey what about me, hun. Aren't I a grown man?" Mr. Kanbara teased.

"Of course dear... of course!" she teased back. There was laughter all around the table.

"Uhm.. Takuya, why aren't you wearing that one shirt I bought you?" Takuya's mom was referring to a shirt she bought him that had a smiley face that said, "I'm cool, how 'bout you?"

"Oh, uuuh... I'll wear it tomorrow!" he lied. He didn't want to attract bullies on the first day of school. They could "smell" blood, fear, and dweeb when they see one.

"He's lying-" Shinya started to yell, but Takuya quickly shut him up when no one was looking.

"Oh well..." She mumbled.

After a few good bites from breakfast, Takuya looked at the time and realized all this happy talk was slowing him down. He had TWO minutes to make it to the bus stop before it left him.

"Oh man! I got to go!" Takuya grabbed his bag and launch towards the door like a wild animal.

"Bye Mom! Bye Dad!" he yelled across his shoulder. His parents both responded back with there farewells. He closed the door behind him and ran to the bus stop that was pretty far away.

"OH look! Takuya didn't finish his breakfast!" Mr. Kanbara mentioned.

"And to think I put all that work into making it..." Mrs. Kanbara was displeased.

"Hey, can I have his share?" Shinya joked. Well at least it wouldn't go to waist.

***

Takuya huffed and puffed down the street down to the bus stop at full speed. As he quickly turned the corner, he saw the bus approaching the bus stop to pick up a group of kids.

"Wait! Stop! Don't forget me!" Takuya was shouting frantically. "Why does everything got to leave me behind?" he said out loud. He then realized what he said and how it also applied to his personal life. Here he was running after the bus only to realize that he was going to do this all alone. He never thought that his friends would be leaving him so soon. With everyone gone it made him feel lonely which meant he was going to have to make new friends and start all over in high school.

He barley caught up with the bus as the bus halted and received him in. The bus driver gave him a stern look and told him that he would leave him next time. Takuya balanced his way down the aisle to find a seat while the bus took off without waiting for him to find one. Unfortunately, all the seats were taken., all of them except one. It was by a kid who looked like he was sneezing his head off every five seconds. Takuya tried to avoid the situation by seeing if he could already scoot in with another pair of kids, making it three to a seat.

"Sit down kid!" the bus driver yelled. Takuya had to make a decision. Either he sat next to the sickly kid or he sat down on the floor.

***

"So what's your name?" the sick kid ask Takuya after he sneezed.

"Takuya. Takuya Kanbara. And you?"

"Oh, well my name is... iss.... hmm that's funny sometimes I forget my name..."

Takuya sighed and held his head in his hand. What did he get himself into.

"Wanna shake hands?" the kid asked after he sneezed into it.

***

Takuya got of the bus and faced his future at Shibuya Central High School. He faced the school sign as it read "Welcome to High School!" and looked all around him. He took in a deep breath and let it out. This was going to be his new school where he would start making memories. (Chop chop)

He made his way into the school with his schedule in his hand. He read his assigned locker and went to the hall were it should be.

"Move it goggle boy!" a red headed girl yelled to a boy who looked startled.

"Gosh, sorry if I was in your way!" the boy said back helplessly as he adjusted his goggles.

"Geez, that's no way to be acting..." another kid with dark navy blue hair said.

Takuya kept walking in the hall way trying to avoid any sign of bullies or jocks coming his way. He didn't want to end up in a locker or worse, a trashcan on his first day in high school.

Takuya then spotted one kid with glasses bending down to pick up his books that were knocked down by a few jocks. He would have helped the poor guy out but he didn't want to attract those same jocks. In fact, as he pondered on that thought, a kid with sandy brown hair and a head-sweats cap approached the bullied victim. He then helped picked up his books, and quickly walked off as if nothing happened.

"Hmm...weird?" Takuya muttered under his breath. Something was familiar about them.

Now he was right in front his locker as he started to open it. As he struggled to find the correct combination, a girl walked by cheering out loud, "I've never felt so peachy about high school!" another guy was walking by her with a plain look on his face as he listened to the girl next to him. He looked like he already knew the ropes when it came to high school.

***

"So much for making friends." Takuya thought as he struggled to finally open his locker. The only progress he made so far was with the kid on the bus that was sneezing.

"Stupid locker!" he muttered as he slammed it shut. He looked to his right to see anyone else that had high school drama. He could see someone down the hall, and low and behold.... it was a girl! She was attempting to open her own locker as well. He tried to see her closely but he could not see her face from afar off.

There was something about her that stroked her as familiar. Could it have been the way she carried herself? Or maybe it was her nice and long blonde hair or the group of guys that were coming to greet her as if they hadn't seen her in years. They all crowded around her excitedly.

The group of kids seemed to be having a long conversation over something. Perhaps it was over their summer and all the things they did. Although, something wasn't quite clear to him as he watched in disarray.

Takuya couldn't help to stare at the group of students when all of a sudden it finally hit him.... the basket ball that came from across the hall.

It wasn't long before he came to his senses as he looked around to see who could be so stupid enough to throw a ball across the hall way.

"Lousy kids!" he cursed under his breath as he rubbed the back of his head. He then saw four other kids run towards the group he was studying earlier. They all were shaking hands and hugging as if they were having a reunion.

Takuya couldn't take it anymore. He had to know what was going on, so he made his way toward the group. He realized a few things as he got closer and closer: the two guys that a had a similarity as if they were twins, the one guy that towered over them with his height as well as his size, the black and white guys that seemed familiarly a little too rowdy, the Mexican couple that looked like as if they were happily married, and the blonde headed girl that still had her back towards him.

It all finally made sense once they all turned around simultaneously and saw Takuya who was gawking at them with his wide eyes.

"TAKUYA!?" the group shouted at him.

Welcome to Shibuya Central High School, Takuya! It looks like the gang has once again united. Maybe it won't be such a bad year after all!

[I like that song (some student sang it and played it on the piano in our show choir concert before the end of the year. Ever since then, I remembered it...forever!)]

Thank You Notes from Author: Well it looks like another story has come to an end...sadly. (If you noticed in the ending, I add the characters from Digimon Season 3 hehe.)I had an "interesting" time writing this story. I hope you (the reader) enjoyed reading it too. I'm sorry it took me SO LONG to finish this story. I have to admit I had such a hard time making deadlines at school and on this story at the same time. Then there was graduation so it made things even slower. But anyway, I'm not complaining. Actually this is suppose to be thank you notes so let me start thanking people instead of giving excuses, lol.

I would first like to thank don'tchaknowme4life, GinnyStar, DigiBleach, and LoneWolfVampire13 for reviewing my fanfic. I wasn't sure if it was good, but I guess it was after all. I would also like to thank all of you fanfic readers for taking the time to reading my fanfics once again (It must have hurt to do so). I would also like to thank all my real life friends and experiences that helped inspired me to write this story. And once again, major thanks to fanfiction for giving us a chance to write these amazing stories we come up with.... Oh I would also like to thank all the little people... lol. Thanks for reading! See you in the next fanfic which is going to be a simple story for none other than...... (*drum roll*)..... JP? Hmm...

Upcoming stories: I have another story in mind that's suppose to be a crossover of transformers the movie, but we'll see how that goes. I'm also think about creating a story with all of them in high school. So I guess that is it.... till then...
