Multiverse Theory, the theory of multiple universes that are grouped together that compromise everything that exists. In one universe there is nothing but space, in another universe, it's just time, and maybe in one universe, it's just pigs. It's a theory that some scientists spend their whole life trying to prove, some even try to find a way to travel to those universes. Other scientists just say what it is, a theory nothing more and nothing less.
But what those scientists don't know is that multiverses are real.
August 1st, 1999, the summer where it seemed like the world was falling apart. From earthquakes to floods and even snow in the summer, people were right to assume that the world was ending. But there was a reason for all that happening. Seven kids in a summer camp from Japan were sucked into another world. This world is called the Digital World.
The Digital World is a multiverse that shares similarities to the real world from deserts, tundras, and oceans to cities and towns. There are no humans in this world but are inhabited by these creatures called Digimon. Digimon are monster-like creatures that take on any form. They could be dinosaur-like creatures to literal sludge with eyes. To say the least it is a weird world full of weird creatures.
But back to those seven kids, known as the Digidestined. They were sucked into the world to protect it even though they didn't know about it early on but they were important to the safety of the Digital World and their world. Later on, their group of seven became a group of eight with each having their own Digimon partners and powers that aided their adventure. These powers helped their partners reach new heights and power.
They're called crests and each crest has a title that represents its holder. Courage, Friendship, Love, Knowledge, Sincerity, and Reliability all hold significance to each of them. The courage that the leader held, the friendship that the second in command had for the group, the love from the "big sister," knowledge from the most intelligent member, how one wasn't afraid to be sincere, and the reliability of the oldest member.
But two crests are more important than the rest. The Crest of Hope and the Crest of Light are what keep the Digital World safe. Without one or the other, the Digital World would be thrown out of balance. Darkness would consume the world deleting it permanently and merge into the real world.
Using the power of the crests the eight kids saved both their world and the Digital World.
Afterward, they went back to their normal lives with some hiccups. Some Digimon would manage to cross over into the real world and cause some trouble, one event almost caused a nuclear war. Realizing the danger the kids gave up the power of the crests to create a barrier to protect their world.
In a dark void, four beings are discussing the state of the Digital World. These beings are the Digimon Sovereigns, a group of Holy Beast Digimon that look over and protect the Digital World from evil, whether they do it themselves or call for the help of the Digidestined.
"It's been a few years since the Digital World was in danger," said one of the Sovereigns.
This Sovereign is Zhuqiaomon, a bird-like Digimon that looks like a phoenix with four wings, a jet engine on its back, four red eyes, a red mask covering its beak and face, and 12 orbs called DigiCores surrounding its body with six around its neck and the other six around its tail. Zhuqiaomon guards the South of the Digital World and it manipulates incandescent flames, it burns anything insignificant which approaches it to cinders. It holds the power of Courage and Love.
"Is that a bad thing?" Asked another Sovereign. "I kind of enjoy the peace and quiet."
The Sovereign that spoke is Ebonwumon, a tortoise-like Digimon with two heads, a giant tree on its shell, and 12 DigiCores surrounding the tree. Ebonwumon guards the North of the Digital World, it uses phantasmagoric water techniques, and, as the oldest of the Sovereigns, it is the gentlest. It holds the power of Reliability and Sincerity.
"But I'm bored," said the third Sovereign. "Kind of makes you wish something would happen."
The third Sovereign is Baihumon, a large white tiger Digimon with blue stripes, four eyes looking through a mask with pointing ends on the side, and its 12 DigiCords surrounding its torso. Baihumon guards the West of the Digital World and is the youngest and the most powerful of the Sovereigns. It holds the power of Friendship and Knowledge.
"It's not good to wish something to happen because of boredom," said the last Sovereign.
The last Sovereign is Azulongmon, a dragon-like Digimon with a body made of electricity, five pairs of wings going down its snake-like body, a chain covering its body, a blue mask with a lightning pattern covering its face, a lightning bolt horn, four eyes, and a long white beard. Azulongmon guards the East of the Digital World and is not likely to lend help to its allies unless there's something serious. It holds the power of Hope and Light.
"Azulongmon's right," said Ebonwumon's left head. "It's our job to protect this world," said the right head.
"But I'm bored," whined Baihumon.
"Remember the last time you wanted something to happen," Azulongmon spoke. "We were trapped away by Apocalymon."
Baihumon looked back two years ago when they were sealed away. Without them to protect the Digital World it allowed evil Digimon like Devimon, Myotismon, and the Dark Masters to run wild, Myotismon was even able to make it to the Digidestined's world. It wasn't their best moment as the Sovereigns. They were lucky that Azulongmon was able to summon the Digidestined. Baihumon doesn't even want to think what would happen if Azulongmon wasn't able to summon them.
"We were lucky you were able to summon the Digidestined, Azulongmon," Ebonwumon's right head said. "Both our world and their world would have been destroyed," the left head spoke.
"We didn't need them," Zhuqiaomon spoke. "We could've handled it."
"What makes you say that?" asked Baihumom.
"We're the Four Sovereigns that look over the Digital World and we don't need any humans to come and do our work," stated Zhuqiaomon.
"We had no choice, Zhuqiaomon," Azulongmon told his fellow Sovereign. "There was nothing we could've done."
"We could've fought back!" said the bird Digimon, heating the area a little.
"Calm down, Zhuqiaomon," said the left head of the tortoise Digimon. "We don't want our tree to catch fire again," the left head said.
"Listen, I just don't want any humans in our world, alright," Zhuqiaomon said, calming down a little.
"I didn't want to summon them, but Apocalymon forced me," the dragon Digimon said.
If Azulongmon was being honest it didn't even want to summon the Digidestined. The thought of humans running around in their world sickened it, and if it had its way humans wouldn't have even known about the Digital World. But with Apocalymon being a nuisance and the rest of the evil Digimon that inhabit their world trying to take over, Azulongmon had no choice but to summon the destined. It also didn't like that the two youngest members got the power of Hope and Light.
The void seemed to shake a little alerting the Sovereigns.
"What was that?" asked Baihumon.
"I don't know," Zhuqiaomon said before cringing in pain.
"Zhuqiaomon, what's wrong," asked Azulongmon worriedly.
"I don't know, it feels like something pierced my chest," Zhuqiaomon said through the pain.
"THE CRESTS!" both of Ebonwumon's heads said.
The Sovereigns rushed to where the core of the crests resides. They reached the cores and were met with a hooded figure attacking the cores. Looking at the cores they saw the Core of Courage cracked and on the brink of destruction.
"STOP!" screamed Zhuqiaomon.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" blared Azulongmon.
"DON'T DESTROY THE CORE!" shouted both of Ebonwumon's heads.
"YOU'll PUT THE DIGITAL WORLD IN GRAVE DANGER!" roared Baihumon.
Not listening to the Sovereigns screams the hooded figure created a spear of light and pierced it through the Core of Courage, destroying it immediately.
Screeching in pain Zhuqiaomon attacked the hooded figure.
"Phoenix Fire," Zhuqiaomon screamed as ultra-high-temperature flames spewed from its mouth.
The hooded figure dodged the fire and moved to the next core, the Core of Knowledge. Forming its light spear again the hooded figure struck the core.
Seeing that one of its cores is being attacked, Baihumon sprung into action. Baihumon pounced at the figure with its claws turning into iron. It clawed at the figure trying to tear it limb from limb.
"This'll teach you a lesson!" growled Baihumon.
Blinded by rage, Baihumon kept clawing at the figure trying to make contact. The figure kept dodging the tiger Sovereign's attacks leading it around the void. Getting more and more frustrated by the figure, Baihumon started swinging its paws more wildly, not paying attention to its surroundings. Realizing this, Azulongmon tried to warn his fellow Sovereign.
"Baihumon, calm down!" yelled Azulongmon.
But Baihumon didn't hear the dragon Digimon as it continued to attack. Continuing to dodge the attacks the figure led the Sovereign to the Core of Sincerity. Seeing that one of the cores was going to be destroyed by its comrade, Zhuqiaomon flew towards Baihumon to knock it away from the core.
But Zhuqiaomon was too late as the hooded figure, standing in front of the Core of Sincerity, moved out of the way of the wolf's Sovereigns attack, and the iron claws pierced through the core. The cries of pain from Ebonwumon's heads snapped Baihumon out of his rage. Looking around and seeing that the Core of Sincerity is missing it realized its mistake.
"Baihumon you, IDIOT!" screamed Zhuqiaomon. "How did you not realize that they were toying with you?"
Baihumon was about to respond when it felt great pain. Looking around it saw the hooded figure floating where the Core of Knowledge was.
"YOU MONSTER!" Baihumon roared. "I WILL KILL YOU!"
It got ready to attack again when a giant red wing appeared in its face.
"What are you doing?" yelled Baihumon, confused as to why its fellow Sovereign was preventing it from attacking.
"You need to calm down," the bird Sovereign said. "We don't need you to go on another rampage and destroy another core."
Realizing that they were right, Baihumon began to calm down.
Looking around trying to find the figure the Sovereigns saw it moving towards the Core of Love. Seeing that its last core is going to be destroyed Zhuqiaomon charged at the figure, launching another Phoenix Fire attack. Wanting to help its comrade, Baihumon formed its iron claws and pounced at the figure.
"Ebonwumon, are you feeling alright?" Azulongmon asked.
"I'm fine," the Sovereign said. "Go help the others."
Azulongmon nodded before charging into the fray. Getting closer to the fight lightning began to form from its horn.
"Lightning Whip," it shouted as a bolt of lightning shot from its horn, heading straight for the figure.
The figure flew up, barely avoiding the attacks.
"Nice of you to join us," Zhuqiaomon jokingly said.
"I couldn't let you have all the fun," Azulongmon responded.
Setting their attention back to the figure they saw it start to form 10 spheres of light. The light started to rain down among the Sovereigns causing a great amount of pain, knocking them down. Grunting in pain some of the Sovereigns began to get up.
"Is everyone all right?" Azulongmon asked.
"I think I'll be sore in the morning," said Baihumon. "But, I think I'll manage."
"We're all right over here," said the right head of Ebonwumon. "What type of attack was that?" questioned the left head.
Ebonwumon began looking around at the cores and gasped in shock. Every core has been cracked and the Core of Love destroyed. Looking over to where Zhuqiaomon formerly was it saw its fellow Sovereign passed out in the void.
"ZHUQIAOMON!" both heads shouted.
Because both the Courage and the Love core were destroyed, Zhuqiaomon would lose power quickly and eventually knock them out. It works the same way for all the Sovereigns and seeing that the rest of the cores were cracked they were losing power fast.
"I don't know how much time we have left," Azulongmon said. "So let's end this now."
Ebonwumon started to form a dark cloud over the figure and black ice began raining down from the cloud.
"Black Hail," Ebonwumon's heads said.
"Lightning Whip."
Baihumon opened its mouth and a gold orb began to form.
"Gold Strength," it roared as a gold wave emerged from its mouth.
Seeing that all three attacks are heading towards it, the figure flies to the side and heads straight towards the Core of Friendship. Forming a spear of light it threw the spear through the core destroying it instantly.
Letting out a howl of pain, Baihumon passed out.
"Baihumon, no!" shouted Azulongmon. "Lightning Whip."
Azulongmon constantly sent lightning bolt after lightning bolt trying to make contact with the hooded figure, but it kept dodging every attack. Forming another light spear the figure threw it at the dragon Sovereign. Azulongmon dodged the attack, but it gave enough time for the figure to destroy the Core of Reliability, knocking out Ebonwumon.
"Why are you doing this?" Azulongmon growled in frustration.
All the Sovereign got in response was a chuckle as the hooded figure turned its attention to the last two cores.
"Don't!" shouted Azulongmon. "You don't know what would happen if you destroy one of those cores, let alone both of them."
Not listening, the figure turned to the Core of Light and thrust a spear of light through the Core of Light, destroying it.
Knowing that it doesn't have much time left, Azulongmon shot a beam of light at the Core of Hope. The light made contact with the core and a blinding light was created. When the light faded the core was gone.
"I don't know what your plan is, but it's over," Azulongmon said between breaths. "I sent the Core of Hope to its holder and a warning to a being in the Digital World to warn them about you."
"When the Digidestined arrive, they will stop you," Azulongmon said before passing out.
Seeing that all the Sovereigns were defeated the figure started to chuckle.
"Then let them come."

In a schoolroom, waiting for the day to end sat a boy with big wild spiky brown hair, brown eyes, and wearing a blue button-up shirt and a pair of black gym shorts, with a pair of goggles around his head. This boy is a 13-year-old Taichi Kamiya or Tai as his friends call him. Tai was currently looking at the clock, not paying attention to his teacher. Seeing that there were seven minutes left, Tai decided to look around the room.
Tai first looked over and saw his friend Yamato Ishida, or Matt to his friends. Matt is also 13, has short blond spiky hair and blue eyes, and he is wearing a dark green t-shirt and jeans. When they were younger he and Matt would butt heads whenever they had differing opinions, but they always made up in the end. Unlike Tai, Matt is more into music than sports as he's starting to learn the bass guitar.
Turning his attention to the back of the room Tai saw his other friend Sora Takenouchi. Sora is a girl with shoulder-length orange hair, maroon eyes, and is wearing a yellow t-shirt and jeans. Unlike Matt, Sora likes to play sports, though not as much as she used to because she began to help her mother's flower shop. She is also the same age as both Matt and Tai.
Their friendship confuses a lot of people because their personalities don't seem to blend together. Tai is energetic and adventurous, Matt is a more secretive loner type, and Sora is kind, responsible, and protective. But, they have one thing in common.
They're Digidestined.
Them, along with their friends, Izzy, Mimi, Joe, Matt's younger brother Tk, and Tai's younger sister Kari were summoned to the Digital World two years ago, with Kari joining them later on. They didn't know it early on, but they were summoned to save the Digital World and in the process, their world as well.
The final bell rang alerting all the children that school ended. Getting their things together Tai, Matt, and Sora grouped up at the classroom door before walking through the halls.
"Got any plans for after school?" Tai asked.
"I have a bass guitar lesson," Matt said.
"And my mom asked me to help with the shop," replied Sora. "Why, were you planning something?"
"I just wanted to see if either of you wanted to play a quick game of soccer before I have to go pick up Kari," Tai admitted.
They walked through the main doorways and Matt and Sora walked down the steps. Tai on the other hand was about to jump down the steps when something struck him mentally. Looking at the steps Tai felt like the steps were too steep. So instead of jumping off of them, Tai grabbed the handrail and walked down the steps.
That action confused both Matt and Sora.
"What was that about?" Matt asked.
"You always jump down the steps," Sora said. "Even in the rain, snow, and even that one time when the sidewalks were covered in ice."
"I don't know?" Tai said.
"Are you feeling alright?" Sora asked, a little concerned.
"I feel fine," Tai replied.
Tai was confused. He didn't understand why he was acting a little different from the way he normally would. Maybe it's being caused by his mother's cooking or just being more exhausted from all the soccer he's been playing lately.
"Well I got to go, see ya," Matt said before leaving.
"Oh, I need to hurry up as well," Sora said as she began to walk away. "Tell Kari I said hi."
Now all alone and with no one to play soccer with, Tai began his journey to his sister's school.

In a bedroom in a small apartment was an 11-year-old girl with medium-length brown hair with a few pink stripes, brown eyes, and wearing pink pajamas and was currently looking through her closet at 3 am on a school night. This girl is Mimi Tachikawa, a sweet pure-hearted girl and she was having a bit of a conundrum. Tomorrow or considering it is past midnight, today is her friend's birthday and she wanted to look nice. Usually, she would have an outfit already planned out, but something in her head as she was sleeping was telling her that the outfit she picked out was wrong.
Mimi didn't understand why she was having those thoughts because she never had a problem picking out an outfit. She always knew what looked good and all of her friends came to her for fashion tips. But now she was having a difficult time picking out an outfit when she already had one planned out.
"I don't get it?" Mimi whined as she pulled out another shirt from her closet. "Every piece of clothing that I pick out doesn't seem to look good even though I bought them."
Then she started to have some doubts about her fashion sense. Maybe she wasn't good at picking out clothes and maybe she lied to all of her friends when she said something looked good on them. Mimi started to feel guilty because maybe she did lie to her friends and they're gonna start hating her. Tears start to form in her eyes.
"I'm sorry," Mimi said between sobs. "Please don't hate me."

At another school in his final class is a 12-year-old boy with short spiky red hair, black eyes, and is wearing an orange polo and khaki shorts. This boy is named Koushiro Izumi or as his friends call him, Izzy. Izzy is a very intelligent boy for his age and is currently in one of his favorite classes, math. Now, math isn't his most favorite class as he much prefers to work on the computer, but he still enjoys it because without math computers wouldn't be invented.
"Would anyone like to solve this problem?" the teacher asked.
Izzy looked at the board and saw that the problem was a simple one, 9-3รท1/3+1. Izzy raised his hand and waited for the teacher to call on him.
"Koushiro, do you have the answer?" the teacher asked.
Izzy was about to answer when he started to feel confused. He was sure that he had it before, but now he's starting to second guess himself. Izzy looked at the problem again, trying to accumulate an answer.
"Is it seven?" Izzy asked, unsure of his answer.
This shocked the teacher. Never before in his class has Koushiro ever got a question wrong.
"Sorry Koushiro, but the answer is one," the teacher told him.
Izzy was stunned, but he was more confused as to why he got the answer wrong. Before he went to answer he knew the answer was one, but something in his brain told him it was seven.
"Let's move on to the next one," the teacher spoke, breaking Izzy out of his thoughts. "What is 2x2.8?"
Izzy raised his hand and the teacher called on him.
"4.8," Izzy said with confidence.
"Wrong again, Koushiro," the teacher said, as he began writing the answer down on the board. "It's 5.6."
Now Izzy began to worry. He never got any problems wrong, let alone two in a row. Izzy began to doubt himself and his intelligence. The final bell brought him out of his thoughts. Deciding to worry about it later, Izzy got ready to leave.
"Koushiro, can I talk to you for a little bit?" the teacher asked.
"Sure," Izzy agreed.
Waiting for everyone to leave, Izzy walked to his teacher's desk.
"What did you want to talk about?" Izzy asked, with a hint of worry.
"Is everything okay, Koushiro?" the teacher asked. "You never got any questions wrong the whole time you were in my class."
"It's probably nothing," Izzy said while rubbing the back of his head. "I'm probably tired."
"Well, if you say so," replied his teacher. "Then you should probably get some rest."
"I will, and thank you for worrying," Izzy said before he left the classroom.
Izzy left the school wondering about what happened to him. He doesn't get how one second he knew the answers to the math problems and the next second he doesn't. Izzy decided that when he got back home he'd call one of his friends.

Sora arrived at her mother's flower shop, and like most days it wasn't busy. Now, that wasn't a bad thing as not a lot of people would buy flowers at the same time, also, it wasn't close to any holidays. She looked around and saw the average man, and sometimes woman, who forgot their anniversary and had to do damage control.
"I'm here, mom," Sora called out. She headed into the back of the shop to put her stuff away and to put on an apron and gloves.
She saw her mother working on a bouquet of roses. Her mother has long black hair tied into a ponytail, brown eyes, and was currently wearing a green kimono.
"Alright Sora," her mother said, never taking her attention away from the roses. "Can you please work behind the register as I finish up here?"
Sora agreed and made her way to the counter. She stood there and waited for anyone to come and ask for her input. Now, she wasn't all that knowledgeable with flowers, but studying under her mother for the past year gave her some understanding of which flowers were the best looking and set the best mood. A balding middle-aged man came up to her looking clueless.
"Hello," he greeted. "I need your help."
"Well, that's what I'm here for," Sora responded, as this wasn't the first time someone asked for her help.
"That's good because I need some flowers for my wife's birthday," the man told her.
"So what's your wife like?" Sora asked. Her mother taught her that every flower has meaning and the customer should buy the flowers that represent how they feel and who they're buying for.
"She's sweet, caring," the man began to list off. "Oh, and she's a little goofy."
Sora smiled at that description. She loves hearing the nice words that people have to say about their partners.
"That's sweet," Sora happily said. "How long have you and your wife been married?"
"Going onto 14 years," the man joyously said.
Sora nodded at that before going through the catalog of the flowers in the shop. She went through a couple of pages before getting hit with sudden grief. Sora suddenly didn't want to help this man with his flower selection. She didn't even care if this man went home without any presents for his wife either.
"I don't think we have what you're looking for," Sora plainly said.
"What?"
"Yeah, everything we have here will send a bad message to your wife," Sora said with a hint of disgust in her voice.
"But, everything here looks so beautiful," the man confusedly said. "Are you sure?"
"Positive," she said bluntly.
The man left empty-handed and downtrodden. Sora turned around and saw her mother with a look of disappointment.
"What was that, Sora?" her mother asked.
"I just told him that we have nothing," Sora responded.
"But, we do Sora," her mother told her. "You didn't tell him about the heliotrope, a red chrysanthemum, you didn't even suggest a simple rose."
"Well I didn't think they would be good choices," Sora responded.
"It doesn't matter if you think they're good choices," her mother scolded. "It matters if the customer thinks they're good choices."
Her mother sighed.
"Why don't you go work in the back," her mother suggested.
"Fine," Sora agreed, before walking into the back of the shop.

Matt walked into his and his father's apartment and saw that it was messy as ever. Since it was just him and his father they never got around to cleaning as they were both busy with their own things. His father is usually at work around the time he gets out of school so he wasn't expecting him to be home.
Matt walked over to the house phone and saw that there was a new message. He pushed play and walked over to the fridge to see if there was something he could eat before his lesson.
"Hey, Matt," the sound of Izzy's voice drew his attention to the answering machine. "I need your help with something."
Now that confused Matt. Never before had Izzy needed help with anything, and even if Izzy did he would usually ask Sora for help. Deciding to question Izzy about it later, Matt kept on listening to the message.
"I don't know what's happening, but I'm kind of freaking out about it," the message said.
Hearing that part of the message Matt had a good idea of what Izzy was freaking out about. It was that time in Izzy's life where he would be seeing women in a different light and Matt felt a little honored that his friend would come to him for help.
"Today in math class I couldn't get any answers right and I had a hard time remembering your number earlier."
And hearing that brought Matt back to his senses. It made sense that Izzy wouldn't be having any girl problems, he doesn't even talk to any girls outside of the Digidestined anyway. But, hearing that Izzy got some answers wrong concerned him. Izzy never got any school problem wrong, even Joe asked Izzy for help with school work. Izzy barely remembering his number just confused him.
"Please call me back when you have the opportunity," and the message ended.
Matt picked up the phone and dialed the first three numbers of Izzy's number before hanging up the phone. Matt didn't feel like calling his friend and seeing what's bothering him. Izzy didn't even say that it was urgent. Matt walked back to the fridge and pulled out a cup of yogurt and walked over to the couch. Matt turned on the tv and ate his yogurt and waited before he had to go to his lesson.

Walking back home from school is a tall, lanky, 14-year-old boy with short blue hair, black eyes, and wearing khaki shorts, a light purple dress shirt, and small oval-shaped glasses. This boy is Joe Kido and he is currently in a conversation with his classmates.
"That history test was hard wasn't it," said a brown-haired classmate.
"Yeah," a glasses-wearing classmate said. "Especially since the first five questions in the multiple-choice question were all B."
"I almost rearranged some of my answers," brown hair said.
"Wait, you got all B's for the first five multiple-choice questions," Joe said, panicking a little. "I got all C's."
If Joe was being honest history wasn't his best subject, but that doesn't mean he doesn't try his best. To be fair the career he's aiming for wouldn't need him to be all that knowledgeable in history. When Joe graduates from school he wants to be a doctor and by what he wants to do he means his father. Don't get him wrong Joe loves his father, it's just he doesn't love that his father is picking his career choice.
"Well that sucks, Joe," glasses said.
"Maybe if you're lucky those first five questions won't affect your grade," brown hair said, being more optimistic than Joe.
"Knowing my luck they probably will," Joe said, dropping his head.
They continued walking until they reached Joe's apartment complex.
"I'll see you guys later," Joe said, as he began walking to the building doors.
"See ya, Joe," glasses said. "And remember to stop by at my place for the project."
"Don't worry," Joe said. "I'll be there."
And with that Joe went inside.
After a quick elevator ride, Joe made it to his family's apartment and saw that no one was home. It made sense because both of his parents work late and both of his brothers are at college. He began getting his notes ready so he'll be out the door to get to his friend's house to do the project. Joe was about halfway through getting all his notes together before suddenly getting drowsy. Joe looked at the time and saw that he had a few hours before he needed to get to his friend's house.
Deciding that taking a nap would be a smart decision, Joe made his way to his bedroom. Putting his glasses on his nightstand, Joe fell asleep thinking he'll take a quick nap. But, what he didn't know is that his quick nap turned into an eight-hour sleep.

The walk to his little sister's school was torturous for Tai. He flinched at everything that came close to him, whether it being people, cars, or pets. Tai was confused because every day before today, Tai had no problem walking on the sidewalk, or anywhere for that matter.
Tai finally made it to his sister's school, and just in time too because he saw a sea of children running out of the front gate and it startled him. He looked through the children trying to find his 10-year-old sister.
"Where is she?" Tai muttered to himself. "She's usually the first one to-"
"BOO!" a young girl's voice shouted behind him.
Tai let out a scream and turned around to see a girl with short brown hair that reached the top part of her neck, brown eyes, and wearing a pink skirt and a white t-shirt. This girl is Hikari Kamiya, or Kari as she liked to be called. Kari is a sweet, innocent, and cheerful girl who is Tai's younger sister.
"Geez, Tai," Kari said in a cheerful tone. "I didn't think I scared you that bad."
"Kari!" Tai said angrily. "Don't ever do that again."
"Sorry, Tai," Kari apologized.
"Let's go," Tai said, as he grabbed her hand.
They walked home in silence. Tai held Kari's hand the whole way and she thought it was because he didn't want her to run off, but in reality, it was for Tai to calm his nerves.
After making it home Tai bolted to his and Kari's bedroom leaving Kari alone in the living room. She looked in the kitchen and saw her mother making "dinner." Her mother has long brown hair tied in a ponytail, brown eyes, and wearing jeans, a yellow button-up, a red sweater, and a yellow apron. Even though she tries, Kari's mother can't cook to save her life.
"Hi, Kari," her mother said. "Would you like to try my tuna meatloaf casserole?"
"Maybe later," Kari said, holding back her disgust.
"Ok," her mother said. "Did you need something?"
"Yeah," Kari answered. "Can I use the computer to email TK?"
"Sorry, Kari," her mother told her. "But, TK's probably waking up right now and getting ready for school."
"Oh," Kari sadly said.
"Don't worry, Kari," her mother began. "TK's mom said that his Summer Vacation starts tomorrow and he'll be free to email at any time."
"I know," Kari said with her head down.
"Why don't you go and watch tv for a little bit," her mother suggested.
Kari didn't respond, she just felt empty. She slowly made her way to the couch and sat down just looking at a blank tv. Kari didn't even feel like turning on the tv, she was enjoying the dark screen.
