"I guess I'll have to go back home now..." Sally said to herself. "This stinks, I couldn't find Flamemon anywhere." She glance back over to TK and Patamon behind her. "Hey you never told me why you're here. What do you live in the digital world or something?"

"No nothing like that. I was looking for some of my friends. We all went here together when they were taken." TK explained.

"Taken? How?"

"We saw a pillar of pink light and followed it, but then it changed direction and some of my friends were caught by it. Afterwards it vanished, so I'm here looking for that light."

"Weird. Are you sure they didn't just go home or something? I haven't seen any light shows running around, maybe it's gone..." Sally pondered.

"Well I'm going to find it again,and it to lead me and TK to the others. It doesn't really matter if you believe it or not. Hey maybe that's why your digimon never showed up." Patamon said determined.

"If you're still out here later, I'll try to help you guys out. But for now, I really need to go home. See ya." Sally dismissed with a wave of her hand.

"I guess its just us again." TK said turning to Patamon.

"Yeah..." Patamon yawned.

(Tamers!)

"I warned you that I wouldn't be able to help you." Alice said. "So why are you still following me? Shouldn't you be trying to get home?"

"Yeah, but you're the best lead we have right now! You've got to help us!" Davis demanded.

"What he means to say is that we don't even know where we are, we'd really appreciate it if you could help us." Joe soothed. Alice remained unaffected by their demands and pleas.

"I'll do what I can, but it won't be much." Alice spoke vaguely.

"Oh thank you! Thank you!" Tentomon buzzed.

"Now can you tell us where we are?" Davis asked.

"I've already said, you're inside of the digital world. How it differs from your digital world I do not know."

"What are those lights? Transport beams? What about the sky? What's that planet looking thing above us?" Davis rattled on.

"The lights are called data streams. The planet is the human world." She stated simply.

"Why did they data stream appear in our digital world?" Joe asked.

"I do not know."

"Well can they bring us back?" Veemon asked

"It's possible, but you can never know where a data stream might take you. It nay not be worth the risk." Alice said looking thoughtful.

"We should try!" Davis declared.

"I wouldn't suggest it. You may wind up somewhere worse." Alice said before Davis could leave.

"What do you mean 'worse'?" Joe asked.

"The data streams will drop you anywhere, regardless of safety. You could find yourself burning alive, stranded in a cave, in the midst of a battle, or maybe even brought to the d-reaper. It's best to travel by foot if you wish to go someplace." Alice explained. "Now, is that everything? Then I must be going." And she started off away.

"Wait! We're not done yet!" Davis called out. And the group continued to follow the mysterious girl.

(?)

"Impmon! Wake up!" Ai's voice cried. The purple digimon found himself with her and Mako in some alley in some city.

"Where? How'd we get here?" He wondered.

"Impmon you're all small again. Are you leaving again?" Makoto asked worried.

"Huh? No... I'm Yaamon again? Great..." The in training level digimon complained. "Don't worry kiddos, I'm not going anywhere and we'll be back home again soon." He tried to sooth.

"I've never seen this street before... How do we get back Impmon?" Ai asked.

"It's Yaamon right now, and I'm not sure... I'm usually a bit taller."

Ai picked Yaamon up and started out of the alley.

"Mako? What're standing around for? Let's go." Yaamon called back.

"Mommy says that if we get lost we're sposed to stay where we are. That someone will find you and take you back to your home." The little boy stated.

"That's stupid. We can't get back home if we stand around all day. Right Yaamon?" Ai declared.

"Yeah..." The digimon agreed.

"See? Let's go Mako!" The little girl cheered. Makoto hesitated for a moment longer, but he followed his sister back out into the street.

"Does anything look familiar here Yaamon?" Makoto asked.

"No.. But I'm usually above everyone on the rooftop or something."

"I know! We can climb up real high and then you'll remember this place!" Ai said and she ran forward towards a building.

"Ah! Wait! I can't help you guys if you fall... Maybe we can ask someone where we are instead?" The digimon tried. The thought of the two little kids climbing onto a roof was pretty scary. Did these two not have any fear or something? Of course not they're his partners.

Thankfully Mako agreed with him and being out voted Ai consented. So the three were off to search for someone who could help them.

(Adventure!)

Getting back home the digidestined separated. Mimi sleepily went to her home with Palmon. Izzy went to his own home while Kari and Gatomon decided it was time to go back and sleep. Yolei was the only one left not going to bed. So it was up to her and Poromon to keep watch over the human world. Of course this didn't seem like she'd be doing anything at all. Maybe she should try to get a hold of TK again...

Disgruntled with her lack of things to spend her Sunday working on, she walked home. Not noticing the two little kids in pajamas as she walked right by them. Yes, nothing to do here except wait for her shift to start. Nothing at all.

I got excited and finished this chapter yesterday. But I figured I'd wait a little before posting. It's good to have chapters in reserve for if you hit a writer's block right? But I can't wait anymore! I wanna post everything now! *pouts* Guess what? This story is now past 10,000 words! Let's throw a party.

Firestar! *joins chant* Leomon leomon Leo- Oh um right. I don't need any ocs right this second, but parts will probably come up in the future. So feel free to send one or two more my way if you wouldn't mind waiting forever for them to appear. I'll incorporate Sally 's love of sweets in! Any detail to help me grasp her character better will help. I'm glad you think I'm doing an alright job so far though. I can't say for sure if I'll bring Leomon back at the moment, but the idea won't leave me alone. I'll either think of a reason (it better be a good one) why I can't, or I'll find a spot where he will make his return.
