"You know, maybe we shouldn't go on that picnic." Said Sora, frowning.
"Why not? We've been planning it for so long!" Whined Mimi.
"Mimi, I highly doubt that four days is a long time." Said Izzy as he typed something out on his computer.
"Yeah, besides. I think we deserve a break. Don't you?" Asked Kari, looking over to T.K. T.K. nodded his head in acknowledgment. "And why aren't the others coming with us is what I'd like to know." Said Joe.
"More importantly, I'd like to know why Tai isn't here yet." Said Matt.
"I can answer all both of those question for you." Came Tai's voice from the door.
He walked in, "One, the others aren't coming with us because, of something to do with school. The reason I was late was because Soccer practice went late." Tai sat down on the couch beside Sora.
"I don't think we should go." She said.
"why not?" Tai asked.
"Because, well, I don't know, I just got this really weird feeling!" Tai nodded. Sora had gotten a weird vibe right before Cody had been attacked by a Ice Meramon. But that was all in the past......
"Listen Sora, there's nothing to worry about. We already defeated all the evil, remember? Everything's alright now."
"Not quite." Said Izzy before standing up.
Everyone looked over to him.
"We don't have any food."
Tai let out a sigh of relief. 'I thought he was going to say something like there was more evil Digimon out there.' Tai said to himself.
"Well, then. We have to go shopping!" Said Mimi enthusiastically.
"Seriously Mimi, I don't see why we had to come here. It's not even a grocery story!" Said Joe in a whiney voice. The group had been waiting for Mimi to stop shopping an hour ago. "Just hang on a few more minutes guys! I wanna try this on!" She said holding up a pink tube top. Several sigh of annoyance came from the group. 'Seriously, I don't see what the big deal is, all it is is a tube top.' Mimi said to herself. "Do you have this is a baby blue blue by any chance? It's my favourite colour." Said a familiar voice. "Hmmm?" Mimi looked up from the tube top to see a girl holding up the exact same tube top except blue. She wore a white skirt with baby blue blue stripes going down each side and a tye-dye baby blue tank top that tied up in the back. She had sky blue hair, done exactly like Mimi's. Down to every detail. Even the clip in stars.
'No, it couldn't be.....' Mimi told herself, shaking her heaad of the thoughts. 'Ohhhhh. But I just have to find out. The curiousity is killing me.' She said. 'I know, I'll just see if this girl has the same locket as-' Mimi let out a scream. Everyone in the department store looked over to her.
"Go, figure. Just like Mimi to make a scene." Whispered Matt.
"Yeah." Agreed Tai.
"Skye?" She asked the girl.
"Mimi?" She asked back.
The two girls ran for each other.
"Oh my god. You didn't tell me you were coming to Japan!" Mimi said excitedly.
"Well, you didn't tell me you lived around here! Oh my god Mimi! It's so good to see you!" Skye said smiling. "So what are you doing here?" Mimi asked. While the girls continued their discussion T.K. whispered to Mimi.
"I take they know each other."
"Yeah, apparently so....." Kari agreed.
"Another Mimi? What's this world comming to?" Joe asked.
Mimi had walked over to the group, with Skye following. "Guys, I'd like you to meet Skye. She's my bestfriend. You know, the one from Hawaii." Matt and Tai stood dumbfounded while Kari, T.K., Izzy,Joe and Sora shook her hand. 'Come on Matt.' Matt's conscience told himself. 'Pull youself together.' 'I can't! She's hot!' Matt told his conscience. Out of the corner of his eye, Matt could see Tai was thinking the exact same thing to.
When Skye came to Matt and Tai she frowned then said "Are they always like that?" She asked.
"Mentally yes." Said Izzy laughing.
Skye smiled then said. "Nice to meet ya, um. What's your name anyways, goggles guy?" She asked tapping on Tai's goggles.
"Um, my-my-my name-name's T-t-Tai-Tai!" Tai managed to stammer.
Mimi, Sora and Kari giggled. "Oh, yeah. And this must be Matt," She asked. Tai nodded.
"How'd you know?" Matt asked curiously, but still trying to maintain a cool persona.
"Oh, Mimi told me everything."
~~~~~Later~~~~~
It had turned out, that Mimi hadn't told Skye everything, espcially not about the DigiWorld.
"So, you live in Hawaii?" T.K. asked.
Skye nodded, playing with her gold, star locket. "Yeah, on a small island. My dad and Mimi's dad are buissiness partners."
"Cool." T.K. commented.
T.K. and Skye were sitting on a giant rock in a park. They were waiting for the others to come back with some food. Coincidently, the park was right infront of a fast food place.
"Hey Skye!" Tai yelled, waiving his hands like a maniac. The group rejoined T.K. and Skye, and handed out food. T.K. sat down with Kari.
Mimi sat down beside Skye on her right then whispered. "You won't believe the ruckus the guys made on carrying the food. It was hillarious." Skye smiled. Then, to Sora's surprise, Tai sat down beside Skye.
'He usually sits with me.' Sora told herself jealously. 'You're just jealous Sora. Chill out. He's probably just trying to be friendly.' Sora's conscience explained. 'yeah, well. I just hope he doesn't get to friendly.'
~~~~~Later~~~~~
"I should get going." Said Skye standing up.
"Ohhhh. Really?" Mimi asked.
Skye nodded. "Yeah. I got some, uh bussiness I have to attend to."
'Oh boo hoo.' Sora said in her mind.
During the course of the one hour the group had been at the park, Sora had come to hate Skye. She has perfect in every little way, and that, annoiyed Sora to beyond belief.
'But I shouldn't be angry with her, I should be angry with Tai.' She told herself. 'oh well.'
"Well okay, but where do you live?" Mimi asked.
"Do you know where Highten View Terrace is?" Skye asked.
"You live in Highten view terrace?" Joe asked surprised.
"Mmmhhmmm." Skye nodded.
No one spoke a word. "What? Did I say something wrong?" She asked, looking around.
"uh, no. Not really. It's just that-oh never mind." Izzy said.
Skye rose one eyebrow curiously then let it go.
"Here Mimi, I think I have it written down already somewhere." Skye said searching through herside bag.
"Aha! Here it is." She said triumphantly. She pulled out a peice of paper and handed it to Mimi.
"Okay. What's your telephone number?" Mimi asked.
"I don't know. But, you know my cellphone number right?" Skye asked.
"Yeah. 555-1024 right?" Mimi clarified.
"You got it!" Skye said. The two girls hugged then Skye said, "It was nice to meet all of you."
The others said their goodbyes and with that, she walked away.
"Do we still wanna go for a picnic in the DigiWorld?" Matt asked.
"Yeah. We still have plenty of food. Not to metion the groceries we bought." Said Izzy.
"Okay, then. We'll meet at my place, at 4." Said Tai standing up.
Sora looked out onto the ocean. The waves moving, not slowly, but not extreamly fast either. She let out a sigh of frustration. 'That girl, Skye, she's so pretty, I don't stand a chance at Tai with her around.' She told herself. 'Well,' Began her conscience. 'You've had 4 years to tell him you like him. But do you? Noooooo.'
'Yeah but, what if he doesn't like me the same way?......I mean, I kinda trashed him when I started going out with Matt......Then when we broke up-' she asked her conscience.
'How do you know he doesn't like you the same way?' Her conscience replied.
"Hey, Sora! Wassup?" Tai called from behind her.
Sora looked back to see Tai running towards her. She smiled.
"Nothing much." She replied once he got to her.
"You looked like you were concentrating to hard for nothing much." He said, before sitting down beside her.
"I was just thinking,"
"yeah,"
"About Biyomon."
"Oh. Yeah."
"It's not fair, I mean. Why'd they all have to dissapear?"
They were silent.
"Tai,"
"Yeah Sora?"
"Do you ever miss them?"
"Yeah. Alot of the time." Tai sighed. The two sat quietly, staring out at the ocean.
'Now, this is nice.' Sora told herself. 'This is how it should always be.'
"Hey you guys! Come on over! Food's ready!" Called Matt.
"I guess we better go." said Tai.
"Yeah." Sora agreed.
They got up and walked over to the group, who was now sitting down on a beach blanket, chowing down on hotdogs, hamburgers, sushi, smoked fish, and whatever else Matt had been able to cook up on the minature barbeque.
"Mmmmm. This is great Matt. My compliments." Said Izzy, after taking a bite of his smoked fish.
"mmmhhhmmm." Agreed Mimi. "It's great!"
"Oh my god! Look!" Joe screamed pointing off into the ocean.
"What?" Sora asked.
"Tidal Wave!"
Sora looked back, behind her. Joe was right! It was a giant tidal waive! Heading straight for them!
Sora quickly climbed to her feet, as the other did too then ran towards the forest where they would be safe.
To late! Sora could hear the water rushing towards her, at full speed. Then she felt it, the cold water splashed down on her full force. It grabbed her body, and pulled her under. Swirling, and swirling and swirling around underneath the water. Sora tried to swim but it was useless. In a few seconds, everything went black.
~~~~~Later~~~~~
"That's great. It's about time one of the woke up." Said another female voice, this one was more familiar.
"Which one is this?" The first voice asked.
"this one is Tai. The leader of the group." Said the second voice. 'That voice.' Tai told himself. 'that voice is so familiar!'
He cracked his eyes open to see a cat digimon, with blue eyes staring at it intently.
"Ahhhh!" He screamed.
Someone giggled. "Don't be afraid Tai, this is only Magimon. A digimon."
Tai looked over to see a girl with blue hair, that was tied up in two buns sitting on a chair beside his bed.
Two longs strands of her hair landed on her smooth pale face. Her blue eyes sparkled.
"Skye?" He asked confused.
"It's about time you woke up sleepy head." She said smiling.
"I must be dreaming. The last thing I remember we were having a picnic in the Digiworld and-Wait a minute, you said your cat was a digimon! And it talked right?"
"uhn huhn." Skye said.
"That means we're still in the Digiworld!"
"Great concluded Sherlock." she said, then stood up.
"So what are you doing here?"
"It's a long story." She said.
Tai got out of bed. "Well, I obviously I got the time for it. See as everyone else is asleep."
"Okay. But you must be hungry, your guys's dinner was interrupted by that tidal wave."
Tai followed her into the kitchen. "Here, have a glass of water. You're probably starting to dehigrate." She said, before handing him a glass of water.
"So how long was I asleep for?" Tai asked.
"Oh, about one hour." She said, opened a jar. "Here, have a cookie." she said handing it over to him.
"Thanx." He said, then sat down at the table. "Now, why are you here?"
"Okay, do you know about the Digi Princess?"
"The Digi what?"
"okay, I'll have to start from the very biggining."
"Ohhh. Where am I?" Came Kari's voice, from the beds room.
Skye and Tai rushed over to the other room.
"Hey Kari, how you doing?" Skye asked.
"Skye?" Kari asked.
"That's the name don't wear it out." She replied.
"What are you doing here?"
"More importantly where are we?" Asked Joe.
"that's a plausable question." said Izzy.
"Ditto, whatever that means." said Mimi.
"I'd like to know the answer to that too." Said Matt sitting up in his bed.
"You're in the digiworld." Skye replied.
"What are you doing here?" Sora asked, after just waking up.
"Skye! Why are you here?" T.K. asked, after rubbing the sleep dust from his eyes.
"Okay, now that everyone's awake I can explain. First off, guys, I'd like you to meet
Magimon, my digimon." Magimon jumped on to the top of Kari's bed then took a bow.
"Amazing, it's almost identicle to Gatomon." Izzy commented.
"We're cousins." Magimon replied.
"Okay, now on to the long part. Do any of you know what the Digi Princess is?"
Several different ways of saying no emrged from the group.
"Okay, then, I'll have to tell you the story.
"That could very well be the reason for that tidal wave." Izzy said. "Skye, do you have a computer here?"
"Over in the corner, but why?" Skye asked. Izzy got up and out of bed then walked over to the blue laptop.
"I'm going to axcess the internet and check something out. If that's alright with you."
"Knock yourself out." She said. As Izzy typed away on the laptop Matt asked. "So where did the darkness come from?" "I'm not sure.....Magimon, do you know?" Skye turned to the cat digimon, who was sitting on Kari's lap being petted. "Not for sure, but it was suspected to come from the viti world."
"But how can it still be here? I mean, why did it come out now?" Tai asked.
"The Vitiworld was remade, while you all were fighting, what it did was basically make a copy of the digiworld." Skye explained.
"I don't know if this will help. But did you know that Kari was a queen?" T.K. asked.
Skye smiled. "I was wondering when someone would ask that. Well, I watched your whole entire journey on the net. And then, when Mimi visted Hawaii, then later on moved, I saw her digivice." Skye explained.
"Oh." Said Kari.
"I thought about the fact of Kari being the princess but I'm not sure."
"Why?" Joe asked.
"Well, for starters, she had no reaction to Magimon. There was a prophecy that, when the princess meets Magimon, the ring on Magimon's tail will transform the princess into her proper clothing. Which would be the white gown. And plus, Kari doesn't wear any rings."
"oh, I get it now." Said Tai.
"And that's why I need your help." She said looking to each of them.
"Why us?" Joe asked.
"Well, Magimon can't digivolve any further, because we haven't found the princess yet. Magimon, needs to be exposed to the princess's ring before she can digivolve anymore. So, I figured we could go to the VitiWorld, find the princess," Skye began. "because she's trapped somewhere in there." Added Magimon.
"and after you find her?" Matt asked.
"Well, there was another prophecy that I would need the 8 digidestin to defeat the darkness." Skye said.
"So who is this darkness?" Izzy asked, still not looking up from the computer.
"Well, no one knows for sure, at first it was Satinmon and his deciples. But we defeated them, and then Gennai said-" Magimon began.
"You know Gennai?" Izzy asked turning around.
"should we help her?" Joe asked.
"I think we should." Said Tai quickly. 'almost to quickly.' Sora said to herself.
"I'm all for it, but how can we? The time is exactly the same as it is in the real world." Joe pointed out.
Skye returned carrying a tray, which held 7 glass filled with cold water in them. She handed them out one, to each of them.
"Say, we did help you. How could we, with the issue of time. If the vitiworld is a copy of the digiworld, then the same amount of time spent in the vitiworld would be equivalant to the time in the real world." Said Izzy.
"No, because it started copying when you entered the digiworld for the first time. It copied practically everything but, the time change at the end of your adventure. So every 100 days is 1 day." Skye explained.
"You have mail." Said an electronic voice from the computer.
Skye walked over to the computer.
"Greetings Skye." said Gennai.
Everyone crowded over to the computer.
"I see you have the digi destined with you, have you told them about the the princess?"
Static crowded over Gennai.
"Yeah. But Gennai, you breaking up. Where is the princess?" Skye asked.
"oops. Gotta go. I guess I should've put in more quarters. See you later Skye, and see you later digi destined." And with that, the message was terminated.
"So, are you guys going to help?" Skye asked.
~~~~~Later~~~~~
"Hang on guys, we're almost there!" Skye hollered.
"How much further? My feet are killing me." Whined Mimi.
"Just a couple more minutes guys! We're almost to the top of Mount Cheruchii." Magimon replied.
"It just occured to me. How are we going to help you, when we have no digimon?" Izzy asked.
"Okay, we're here." Skye said. "Now everyone grab hands." Skye said. Tai grabbed onto Skye's hand.
As Sora watched, a pang of jealously flowed through her. Magimon stepped into the middle then said.
"Oh master of dimensions, send us safely to the vitiworld unharmed." Suddenly, a light shone down on the group, of all different colours. 'It feels so nice and comforting.' Sora told herself. She closed her eyes, and the next thing she knew she was standing on a wooden floor. "Sora!" Yokomon cried. "Yokomon?" Sora asked. There, standing infront of her was Yokomon! And all the others digimon in trainee form! She let go of T.K. and Joe's hands and ran to Yokomon. The others did the same with their Digimon. Magimon and Skye stepped back and watched.
"It's incredible." Said Izzy examining Motimon.
"You know what is incredible." Said Mimi. "Look at yourselves in a mirror."
Sora looked into the giant mirror. When she looked into it she didn't see herself, but a younger her! From when they had first landed in the Digiworld. Everyone had been changed into what they had looked like 4 years ago! Even Skye had changed. She wasn't wearing her blue tye-die tank top and white, baggy jeans with the blue stripe down the side. Now she was wearing a blue tank top that tied up in the back and white, cargo shorts with blue stripes going down the side. She her attention to Yokomon. "I knew Skye would find you!" She said happily.
"Talk about reliving your youth." Said Mimi. "Yes and no," replied Magimon. "When the digiworld was copied, it got messed up and now, it takes more energy to digivolve." Magimon explained. "How come Skye doesn't get a crest?" Mimi asked.
"I'm not a digidestin, just the Princesse's protector." Skye explained. "so how does Magimon digivolve?"
Izzy asked. "The ring on my tale, is what ables me to digivolve." Magimon explained.
"You guys, must be hungry. Koromon, I trust that dinner's ready." Skye said turning to Koromon.
"Yup." The pink blob replied.
"and everything's set too! I helped!" Motimon pipped in. "Me too!" Bukkumon added.
"Well, of course you did. You two are the only ones with arms!" Tanemon replied. The group followed the trainee digimon into the kitchen. As the group ate Skye and Magimon sat on the back porch of the hut eating their food. "Do you think we did the right thing?" Skye asked, never taking her eyes off the ever moving ocean. The sun was gently setting, the sky had turned to a reddish orange colour.
"What do you mean?" Magimon asked.
"well, bringing them here. Exposing them to the darkness."
"Skye, you know you had to. To find the princess-" "I know, I know, to find the princess I need the Digidestin." Skye replied then let out a sigh.
Mimi walked onto the porch. "hey." She said softly then sat down beside Skye.
"I'm going to go get seconds, I'll be back." Said Magimon, and walked back into the house.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier Mimi." Skye apologized. "It's just that, ever since I first learned about the digi princess, I've wanted a friend I could trust. And-" She paused. "and when I met you, I wanted to tell you but I wasn't allowed. I'm sorry Meems." Skye apologized.
"Oh come, you don't have anythign to be sorry about. We had fun, I mean remember thoes cute guys at the beach?" Skye and Mimi laughed. "Thanx Meems. Friends forever?" She asked. Looking straight at her for the first time since they began their discussion. "you got it!" Mimi replied smiling. They did their secret handshake then Mimi said. "Come on, let's go back inside." The two girls got back up then walked inside.
"I'm stuffed." Said T.K. rubbing his stomach.
"Me too. Now I'm ready to go to sleep." Agreed Kari.
"Okay then, follow me." Said Skye, everyone got up and followed Skye into another room, that looked exactly like the bedroom in the DigiWorld. 8 wooden beds with each of the digidestin's crest logo on the head of the bed and blue blankets stood in line, 4 beds on each side of the long walls and on bed without a crest logo on it at the very back of the room. T.K., Kari, Izzy, Mimi, Sora, Tai and Joe crawled into their beds, with their digimon following them. Skye walked out of the room, Magimon following her, they walked into the kitchen and started cleaning up the mess. "I'm tired Skye. Do you mind if I go to sleep tonight?" Magimon asked. "Sure, sweet dreams magimon." Skye said, before washing the plates. As soon as Magimon left Matt stepped into the room.
"I needed time to think."
"Okay," Matt said then before he turned the corner for the bed's room he said.
"You know Skye, you don't have to be the mom."
Skye sat at the table sipping her lemonade and thinking about what they would do. "We have no strategy, we don't know where we're going, we're unprepared, and worst off, we don't even know what we're fighting. We're so screwed." She mumbled.
"Morning Matt!" Said T.K. as he bounced into the room. He sat down at the table and joined the other as they were munching down on bacon, eggs and orange juice. "Where's Skye?" Izzy asked. "I have to ask her about her laptop." "Oh, she went down to the beach, really early this morning, we spent th whole night talking. She said she needed to ride the wave, whatever that means." Said Tai before serving T.K. his eggs and bacon. "oooo. That means she went surfing! Magimon does she have her surf board here?" Mimi asked turning to magimon who was devouring the food. "mmmmhhhhmmm." Was all the cat digimon said. "Two eggs or three?"Tai asked. "Two please." T.K. replied. The group quickly finished their breakfast and headed down to the beach. But when they got their, Skye was no where to be found. "Do you think she was pulled under?" Joe asked. "No, Skye's to good of a surfer to be pulled under, in these calm waters." Mimi replied. "How do you know so much about surfing Mimi?" Kari asked. "Oh, well. After Skye and I tied for the Princess of the Island contest she tought me some really helpfull pointers." Mimi replied. "Wait! There she is!" Said Nyaromon. Sora squinted for as far as she could see. There! In the distance was a giant waive. Not nearly as big as the tidal waive but still fairly high. And there! She could see Skye riding her surf board. When she got 5 meters away she waived then road in slowly. "Hey guys, you ready to go?" She asked. "Yup. WE even cleaned everything up." Said Tokomon. "Great. I assume Tai told you the plan." "Yes, we go to Piximon's place for training." Said Motimon. "Okay then let's get going!"
~~~~~Later~~~~~
"It's soooo hot out here." Mimi whined.
"Yeah, I can feel the heat come up through my socks!" Agreed T.K.
"Maybe you should put you shoes back on t.k." Matt suggested.
"I have to agree. It is really hot out here." Said Joe.
Skye turned around to face the group, she and Tai had been leading them to Pixiemon's place.
"Guys, we've only been walking for 10 minutes!" She pointed out. "We're almost there! C'mere!" Skye said walking over to a steep edge. "See! Look! Do you see that? That's where we gotta be." She said pointing the giant hut off in the distance. "Wow, that one's alot bigger than the other!" T.K. exclaimed. "Now, all we need to do is to through the little forests there and walk across to it. So let's get going!" Said Tai enthusiactically. The group was about the walk into the forest when motimon said. "Wait! I hear something!" The other digimon listened while the kids just shrugged their shoulders and waited. "You know I think he's right." Said Koromon. "yes, it's like a buzzing sound?" Yokomon said.
As if on cue, Kwagagmon came charging through the trees and grabbed Mimi. "Ewwww. This is gross! Wait aminute! LET ME GO!" She screamed.
"Pepper breath!" Agumon shot a little ball of fire out of his mouth.
"Boom bubble! Patamon shot out a bubble.
"Poision Ivy!" Palmon shouted.
"Spiral twister!"Biyomon cried.
" ~~~~~Later~~~~~
"Ah Skye, it's good to see you, know tell me are they ready?" Pixiemon asked.
Skye nodded confidently. "I see you all are very tired huhn?" Pixiemon said. The group chorused many different was of grunting yes. "Well then follow me. I have the perfect rememdy for that."
"It's not scrubbing floors is it?" Mimi asked. Pixiemon laughed. "Now, not at all." He replied. He walked up a long flight of stairs, with the group trailing behind. When they reached the top all it was, was a small room with a sky light window. Pixiemon pushed it open and then waited for them on the roof. 10 minutes later they were there. "Wow, this is incredible." Kari murmered. The roof had been converted into a a geiizer/hot tub, divided into two sections by a wooden wall, with and hole in it. The whole entire hot tub was surrounded by rocks, to give it the geiizer look. "Girls on one said, boys on the other. Now, I have to prepare dinner so why don't you all relax hmmm?" Pixiemon said, then left. ~~~~~Later~~~~~
"This is sooooo relaxing." said Mimi. Gatomon gingerly climbed into the water.
"Well, this certainly is interesting." Said Joe.
"I know what you mean. It's like, continuing what we started." Said T.K.
"I'm just glad, you decided to come back Tai." Said Agumon, who was sitting on a rock with Gabumon. "I don't see why you guys don't come in." Said Matt turning to them.
"We don't like water." The two digimon said simulteanously. "well, Pixiemon said it was for training, but I have my doubts." said Izzy. "Why else would he let us relax in his hot tub?" "good point." said Joe. Gomamon dove down below the water's surface a happily swam around until.........WACK! He hit a wall, he resurfaced stomach up, relaxing as he had been before. But whe nhe arose he didn't hear the guys's voices anymore but a loud, high pitched scream! "Well, guys, I think it's time we got out." said Tai.
"yeah, my fingers have gone all prunny." said T.K. holding up his hands.
"T.K. what's prunny?" Patamon asked. "Is it something you can eat?" "Oh come on Matt, it was just a joke." Said Skye smiling. "Yeah, besides, we were getting back at you guys for barging in on us!" Cried Palmon. "That was an accident." Said Gabumon. "Oh yeah. Sure." Said Salamon sarcastically.
"I don't know Biyo. I mean, Tai and I.....we just......." Sora trailed off. The two were having a relaxing soak in the hot tub while Izzy tapped away on his computer somewhere. Mimi was wandering around with Palmon waiting for Skye and Tai to return. Joe, was complaining to Gomamon about everything and anything in their room. T.K. and Kari were talking with Pixiemon. And Matt, well Sora honestly didn't know where he'd ran off to. After Skye and Tai left she could tell something had been bothering him. He had a weird look on his face and had just stormed off. "You're jealous of Skye aren't you?" Biyomon asked. "What??!! No way! I'm just saying that-that-that Tai's being awful nice to her. Almost to nice." Said Sora. "You're jealous of Skye because Tai's paying more attention to her, instead of you" Biyomon repeated. Sora sighed. "I guess-" She began. "And you have every right to be! After all, not only is Tai being extra nice to her but, in the long run of things, she's more important then you." Said Biyomon.
"Yeah...... Wait a minute! She's more important then me? Since when?" Sora asked shocked. "Well, you're just a digidestined, she's the digi princess's protector. Everyone in the Digi world will always remember her." Said Biyomon. Sora let out a sigh of frustration. "She's got me beaten on all odds." Sora muttered, pessimistically.
Pixiemon paused then said. "And that's all I know." He said. "What's it look like?" T.K. asked curiously. "That's the thing. No one knows for sure. But mind you there are so many rumours, about so many things that went on in the Digi Palace that the digi princess kept secret." Said Pixiemon. "What rumours?" Izzy asked. "Well, it was rumored that two of the members of the council, both humans were in love with the princess." "well, that's what I call a history lesson." Said Kari. "You know, that reminds me of something. I'll be right back." Pixiemon said. Pixiemon fluttered off. "When do you think Tai and Skye will get back, Izzy?" Kari asked. "I'm not sure, but I suspect it will be soon." Said Izzy.
Matt kicked a pebble out of his way. Mimi and Palmon had convinced him that they should go back to Pixiemon's house before they got lost.They had walked the whole way in silence until Mimi's curiousity had gotten the better of her and said. "You know what, I think Tai likes Skye." Matt huffed. "What was your first clue?" He asked sarcastically. "Well, when he was talking about her in his sleep. That was a pretty big clue." Mimi said. Matt looked at her shocked, but trying to hide his emotions. Matt had dreamt about Skye the night before, and he was known in his family as the one who talked in his sleep.
"But, I'm not sure if that was him. It almost didn't sound like his voice. But it was coming from the side of the room that he was on, so I just assumed it was him." Matt didn't reply.
'Why won't he just tell me?' Mimi asked herself. 'We're good friends!' She let out a sigh and then looked around. Nothing but trees, trees, trees, lake, cave, trees,trees. 'Wait a minute! A cave?' Mimi asked herself. "Matt, look over there!" Mimi said pointing. Matt looked over, then said. "So? It's a cave, big deal."
Mimi sighed in frustration. "Don't you think it's a little weird for a cave to be here?" She asked. Matt shrugged his shoulders. "Whatever." He kept on walking, leaving Palmon and Mimi behind. "MAAAATTTT! Wait up!" Mimi hollered as she ran. She grabbed ahold of her hat as she ran.
Pixiemon fluttered back into the room. Now Izzy and Tentomon were searching for something on his computer, while T.K., Patamon, Gatomon and Kari were playing hacki sack. They all stopped what they were doing when Pixiemon said. "I have a mission for you." As if on cue Sora, Biyomon, Matt, Gabumon, Joe, Gomamon Mimi and Palmon all walked into the room.
"Ah, perfect timing. As I was saying. I have job for you." Everyone sat down.
"How can we do anything, we, Tai and Agumon aren't here." Asked Joe.
"It's nothing dangerous, but, it will give you something to do." Said Pixiemon.
"Okay, so what do we have to do?" Matt asked.
"There is an artifact, a mirror to be exact." Said Pixiemon. "I want you all to retreive it for me."
"Where is the mirror?" Asked Kari.
"It's in the forest, that's just out side here." Said Pixiemon.
"What's so special about a mirror?" T.K. asked.
"Oh come on T.K.! It's a mirror!" Said Mimi.
"I'm not sure. That's why you need to find it before the darkness does!"
"I can't believe we got lost." Said Mimi.
The group had agreed to search for the mirror, only to get lost in the forest. "I dont' get it. We were here earlier today, and we saw a cave. But now I don't know where it is." Said Palmon. "I bet you anything, that's where the mirror is." Said Izzy. "Well, at least Pixiemon gave us sleeping bags." Said Kari.
"I don't see why I got stuck carrying them." Complained Joe. Matt looked up at the sky, it was turning dark, and quickly. 'Skye, where are you? Are you alive?' Matt asked in his mind. "I think we should camp here." He said. Sora nodded. 'With Tai gone, Matt's in charge, I wonder what he's thinking.' Sora told herself.
The group spent the whole entire day searching for the cave Mimi and Matt had seen the day before. Now it was almost dark, so they were trying to find a comfortable place to camp out.
"I never realized how far we walked." Said Mimi.
"My feet are killing me." Said Gomamon. "Gomamon, you dont' have feet." Joe pointed out. "Well then, my paws are killing me." Gomamon corrected. T.K. looked around. It seemed as if they were just walking on a tred mill, alwasy walking but never getting any where. But then suddenly-"Oooff!" The sound escaped his mouth. He had tripped over a tree branch. "T.K. are you okay?" Sora asked hepling him up. "Yeah I just tripped." he said rubbing his knee. "Look! over there!" Said Patamon. Everyone looked over to where Patamon had been pointing. There it was! The Cave! "Yahooo! We found it!" Mimi cried happily as she ran over to the cave. The others followed happily. When they got to the entrance of the cave Matt said.
"Joe, Gomamon ,T.K., Patamon, Mimi, Palmon,Kari and Gatomon you stay here. Sora, Biyomon, Izzy, Tentomon you guys come with me." 'But Matt, I want to come with you.' Mimi whined in her mind.
"Okay, let's go." Said Sora. "We'll be back. Don't worry." Matt said then caustiously entered the cave.
"Wait here!" Said Joe, handing him a flash light. Matt took the flashlight, turned it on, and started walking into the cave again. He looked around, surprisingly it wasn't like a normal cave. It' was more like a tube. Like when you go down a slide, except you weren't going down. "Wow, This is incredible." Said Izzy, examing the cave. Matt kept on walking, looking around. Sora shivered. Not because she was cold, because she didn't like the weird vibe she was getting. Off in the distance she could see a light shining. "Matt look!" She said pointing towards the light. The group cautiusly walked towards then light. When the got close enough they saw a mirror just laying on a rock. Matt picked it up and looked at it. "Nothing weird about this thing." He said handing it to Sora. "You're right. I wonder why Pixiemon wanted us to find it." She agreed then passed it ont to Izzy who examined it on his computer. They walked back to the entrance, carefully retracing their foot steps. When T.K. saw Matt emerging from the darkness he said. "Did you find it already matt?" The group walked out of the cave. "Yeah. It wasn't to hard to find." He said. "I'm fixing us up some dinner." Said Mimi. "I'm helping." Said Kari. "And I'm making the chopsticks." Said Joe. The group helped Mari and Mimi make dinner and helped Joe make the chopsticks. They ate, then headed off to sleep.
Sora sighed and sat up in her sleeping bag. She get to sleep, and when she did, she would have dreams about Tai and Skye. She looked over to Biyomon who was sleeping soundlessly. She smiled, then causously got up out of her sleeping bag. She walked over to the safety bag, where Matt had put the mirror. "I don't see what's so special about this mirror. It's just a stupid old mirror." Sora's flached back to what had happened a few nights ago, after dinner. When Tai had stepped outside to take a break and Sora let her feelings flow.
MIRROR, MIRROR
