"Hana chan!" A tall blond boy waved at her while she catched up to them.

"Sorry, Hiroki, your father was at my house"

"What?... well, I can believe that. My dad and yours are like best friends" he smiled

Soon they were on a park near a play ground chatting and drinking water.

"It's the first time I've seen you father Hiroki"

"He's not in the country all the time, sometimes he travels"

Aoi just watched at them talk, and saw Hiroki blushing a bit.

"Aoi" Hana woke him up from his thoughts

"Hm?"

"Did you know that my dad had a crush on your mom when they were our age?" she said smiling

"He did? I guess my mother never noticed, or she did and didn't do anything because she never told me about that"

"Really? I can't believe my dad never confessed!"

"You guys don't know, maybe he did and she rejected him?" Hiroki spoke

"That would be more complicated" Hana said.

They kept laughing and chatting, but then they went to a family restaurant to eat something. Hana was feeling guilty because she promised her dad to be home for dinner, so she called him and her father said it was fine.

Hana excused herself going to the bathroom. But when she opened the door to go out, she wasn't in the restaurant anymore.

"T-this is not the restaurant…!" she blinked, closed the door and opened again. It was all gone, she was again where she was; but her heart was racing so fast as much as her thoughts. What was that place? The ground was bright, but the sky was dark. It looked like someone turned off the sun and tuned on the earth.

Hana sat again with her friends and her brown haired friend wake her up from her thoughts.

"I was telling Aoi that I can call my cousin to come and hang out with us someday"

"Your cousin?"

"Yes, uhm… my aunt Hikari's son"

"Really? Isn't he older than us Hiroki?"

"Yes, but he is so cool! He would totally hang out with us, please?"

The other two friends laughed at Hiroki's expressions.

"Yes, okay, he can come next time." Hana said

Going home, Aoi was taking her friend to the station. Hana was thinking again what happened at the restaurant, she couldn't get her mind out of it.

"You know, I told you that boys were going to notice you" Aoi interrupted her from her thoughts.

"What?"

"You didn't realize? And that you're less distracted that I am!"

The girl beside him just gave him a confused look.

"Hiroki… he was blushing while talking to you Hana chan"

"Really? I didn't noticed…"

"You're more quite than usual… are you okay?" the young man asked, a little concerned.

"Yes, it's just…" Hana suddenly stopped walking, and Aoi turned around to face her.

"Aoi… something happened at the restaurant"

"Something? Hm… I'm telling you, I just saw Hiroki blushing" he shrugged

"It's not that! It happened when I was in the bathroom! I opened the door and… I-I don't know how to explain" she looked at the ground searching in her head a way to explain that situation to her friend.

"In my way out, I opened the bathroom door and… when I looked, the restaurant was gone. I mean, at least it looked like another place… you won't believe me but it looked like the digital world"

"What?!" Aoi looked at her a little shocked

"Yes, t-the sky was so dark!... and the ground was glowing… it was very strange, Aoi" Hana was shaking now, and her voice sounded so nervous

"Okay… how did that happened. I mean… we were all together, it could happen to all of us"

"I know. But I don't know how that happened, I will have to tell my dad to see if he knows something"

"Yeah, you do that" He taked Hana's hand and looked at her with trust in his eyes and smiling. "It will be okay, don't be scared Hana chan"

She nodded at him and they continue their way to the station.

"Dad! I'm home!" she closed the door in a hurry and came inside

"Hana! Welcome" he smiled at her "Did you have fun?"

"Yes, thank you. I am so sorry that I didn't came to dinner… what is that?" she noticed a cacti plant over a furniture.

"Where did I see that before?" she thought for a minute. "Aoi's mother!"

Koushiro swallowed saliva

"She bought one from me at the cultural festival" she said in her way to her room to leave her bag.

Koushiro's heart was racing, Mimi actually was there. She came and brought dinner too!, they ate, and she left because she said that she had to make food for Aoi too.

Hana came back from her room, sat on the couch and turned on the tv. "Mimi san was here?"

Koushiro chocked with his own saliva. "W-why do you ask?!"

"Dad are you okay?. I'm just asking, that plant didn't just appear magically, didn't it?"

"Y-you right" he gave a nervous smile at his daughter. "She came and brought dinner, too…"

"Really? Did you guys had a good time?" she asked in a very curious way, it almost looked like teasing from her.

"We had fun, thank you"

"Hmm, I'm glad!. By the way dad, could you come over here please?"

Koushiro went and sat beside her daughter. "What is it?"

"Something happened to me today" Hana's heart start to race everytime she talked about that.

"Something?" her father asked with a curious face

"Yes… when I was in the bathroom in a restaurant… In my way out, I opened the door, and the restaurant wasn't there anymore"

"What did you say?!"

"That exactly. I saw something similar to the digital world… only different"

"Different? How?" Koushiro was more and more in what Hana was telling him.

"Uhm, the sky was very dark… but didn't seem like it was night, it's color was dark. And the ground was glowing, like inside the earth were some led lights or something like that"

"I see… that is strange"

"Right?. Dad please tell me I'm not crazy" She couldn't stop playing with her hands.

"No! Absolutely not, Hana" – "How is it possible? The digital world's door has been closed for many years. And why open trough any door like that? It always opened through a computer… But most important, why Hana?"

Her dad went silent for a moment. Sometimes he stayed like this when he is submerged in his thoughts.

"Dad? Everything is okay?" She touched his shoulder to call his attention.

"Ah, yes, don't worry. Let me ask you something: since you found your digivice, do you always carry it with you?"

"Yes, I carry it everywhere."

"I see. It was just that question, I'm going to investigate from there, thank you Hana" he smiled at her gently

She smiled back "Yes dad, thank you for listening"

"WHAT?! THE DIGITAL WORLD?!" Mimi screamed at her son a while after he had dinner. She sat on the table and started to talk with Aoi.

"Yes, or at least she told me that"

Mimi's eyes were wide in surprise and intrigue. "Oh my God!, do you imagine if again, you could go to the digital world?"

"But we still don't know if it is the digital world, mom. It looked like it, but what if it is not?"

Mimi supported her chin with her hands in thought. "Hmm… maybe it needs help"

"What?"

"Yes, you know, when the digital world needs help from the chosen children, it would call them no matter what" she smiled at the boy and he looked at his mother with wide eyes, just like hers.

"Really?... we'll see, if that happens, we'll go, no matter what"

"I know darling" she got up and was going when a question stopped her

"So, how was dinner?"

"E-eh?" She was nervous now, but won't turn around to face Aoi

"You know… the kitchen looks like you've been cooking"

"What do you mean?" she still won't turn around, and the look on Aoi's face looked suspiciously at her from behind

"You had dinner with someone mom? Who came?"

"Nobody came here, sweetie" she turned around putting her best fake smile, hiding her nerves.

"Nobody came? Then you went somewhere, don't lie to me!"

"What? I did not!"

"Mom!" he got up suddenly slapping the table

"OKAY!" she said finally giving up and pouting. "I went to Koushirou's house, we had dinner and I returned the end" she smiled at the end.

The look on the boy's face still was suspicious for her mother, although, there was nothing wrong in going to dinner to a friend's house when both of you are alone, especially knowing his mother.

"Aoi, I'm going to take a bath, okay?. Bye bye"

"Okay, mom" - "What is she planning?..."
