"Look out blow!"

Three boxes fell from above and hit the ground, causing a cloud of dust to rise. A girl with long black hair waved her hand through the air, trying to clear it out . "Watch it Lita, you almost killed me." she said, half laughing, half choking.

"Yeah," laughed the girl "well next time I won't miss." She stepped down from the ladder she had been standing on and wiped her hands on her pants. "Just kidding." She replied when her friend glared. She bent down and picked up the boxes and placed them back on the shelf.

"And just why did we get stuck cleaning out this room?" Lita asked her friend

"I'm not quite sure," Rei stated, running her broom across the floor. "All I know is that some people are coming to the shrine and my grandpa wants it to be spotless. I think he used to go to school with them or something."

Lita was about to climb back on the ladder when she noticed two objects lying on the ground. "Hey, Rei." She asked.

"Yes?"

"What are these?"

Rei walked over to her friend and looked at what she was holding. It was two small, grey and blue computers. She took one out of Lita's hand. "I don't know, they're probably some kind of video game or stereo." Rei began to walk away when Lita stopped her again.

"I thought your Grandpa said no one had been in this room since his parents died."

Rei looked thoughtful for a moment, before replying " He did." Her eyes widened. 'There was no way they had gameboys when my grandfather was a kid' she thought to herself. She looked up at her friend. "Someone must have broken into the temple and left them here. That's the only explanation I can think of."

Lita pushed a strand of brown hair behind her ear. "Yeah. That's probably what happened." She was about to put the computer on the shelf when it started to glow in her hand. "Rei..." she started. She looked up and noticed that the device in Rei's hand was also glowing. "What's happening?" She questioned.

Rei turned fear stricken eyes towards he friend. "I don't know-" Her reply was cut short and she lost consciousness as the room faded to black.

"Rei. Wake up."

Rei yawned and rolled over, so Lita put all her force into her hand and slapped her. Rei shot up, rubbing her cheek. "Damn Lita, what was that for?" Rei sat up and tried to focus on her surroundings. She was outside, and there were trees where ever she looked. "Tree's," she said out loud, "There aren't this many trees in Tokyo."

Lita looked at her friend "Rei, I don't think we're in Tokyo." She extended a hand to help her friend up and then looked around. "Even if there were trees in Tokyo, it wouldn't be this kind." Lita raised her head and looked at the towering pines. " What happened."

Rei followed her friends gaze. "I don't know." She was about to say something, but she turned around and tensed. "Ssshhh." Lita said nothing and turned to look at her friend, a questioning look in her eyes. "I sense something." Lita pulled out her transformation wand, but before she could transform, Rei grabbed her hand. "No," she said," I don't think it's evil, just different."

Before either of them could say anything, a small, pink creature with a purple flower on it's head came bouncing towards them. Rei stepped back, let out a small cry and without another thought turned and hid behind the nearest rock. Lita was about to follow when the little creature jumped at her. She tried to jump out of the way, but she tripped and fell on her back. "Rei..." she started, but before she could say another word the animal was on her chest, jumping up and down happily.

"Hi! Hi! Hi!" It said to Lita. "Where's your friend?" Lita stared at the creature and raised a shaking hand to point at the rock. The little animal bounced over to the rock. "Why are you hiding from Yokomon? I wont hurt you." it told her. Rei ran around the opposite side of the rock and to where Lita was laying. She helped her friend up and they were about to run when another animal came towards them. This one was nothing but an orange head with a large gray horn sticking out.

"Hello." I said, " I am Tsunomon and I am very pleased to meet you."

"P-p-pleased to meet you to....I think" Rei said. Tsunomon tried to get closer to Lita, but she backed away.

"Rei, " She said, "I think we're going to die, so I just want you to know that I'm glad we were friends."

Rei cried "I don't want to die!!"

"Your not going to die." Came a female voice from behind them. They both turned to see who was talking to them. It was a girl with short brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a light yellow tank top with a pair of loose fitting blue jeans. She was looking at them funny. “How did you guys get into the Digiworld?” She asked.

Lita looked up at her. “ Digiworld?” she questioned. “What the hell is that?”

The girl looked down at her. “This is the Digiworld.”

“Well,” Rei said, standing up, “that’s nice. I only have one question. How in the hell did we get here?”

“There’s only one way to get here, and that is to use a Digivice.”

Lita was about to ask what a digivice was when she heard a voice calling out. “Sora? Sora where are you?"

"I'm over here." the girl called out. "My names Sora, what's yours?"

Lita stood up, and dusted herself off " I'm Lita, and this is Rei." They both waved and were about to begin asking more questions when six other people came running through the tree's. When they saw Rei and Lita they all stopped.

A little boy of about seven or eight walked forward and introduced himself. "Hi." he said, "My names T.K."

Lita was about to introduce herself when another boy walked up and pulled T.K. back. Then he bent down and said, "Be careful T.K., we don't know who they are or who they work for." Then he stood back up and brushed a blond lock out of his face. " Who are you?" he demanded.

Rei couldn't believe she was being treated like this by a complete stranger so she walked forward and said, "Look, I'm Rei and this is Lita-"

Another little animal rushed to Rei's feet and interrupted her "And I'm Koromon!"

Rei screamed and jumped back. Another boy walked forward, laughing. He had brown spiky hair and light brown eyes. He picked up Koromon and turned to Rei. "There's no need to be afraid of this little guy, he wont hurt you. My name's Tai and this, " he pointed to the boy who had been questioning her " is Matt. The girl with the pink hair is Mimi, the boy with the glasses is Joe and last but not least the boy with the computer is Izzy. You'll have to forgive Matt, he's a bit of a jerk." Matt glared at him, but didn't say anything. Rei tried to laugh, but she couldn't tear her eyes away from what Tai was holding. He followed her gaze. "Oh, this is Koromon." he said, bringing the animal eye level with Rei. She jumped and hid behind Lita.

Lita stepped forward and looked at Koromon. "Well," she started, "he sure is....weird. What is he?"

T.K. pushed past Matt and walked forward. "Koromon is a Digimon."

"A what?" Lita asked

T.K. picked up a what looked like a little pink pig with floppy bunny ears. " A Digimon. This is Yokomon, he's a Digimon to."

"Like I said before" Lita asked, "What is a Digimon?"

Joe walked up to her. "Digimon are digital monsters that only exist here in the digital world. They can digivolve into stronger, more powerful Digimon as they grow. This is Bukamon, my Digimon.” He said as he held up a gray animal that closely resembled a smaller version of the loch ness monster, only this one had a mohawk of orange hair. Rei peeked around Lita’s shoulder at Bukamon.

“What I wanna know,” Matt said, “Is how you two got here?”

Lita looked at him, then at Tai and finally at the ground. “We don’t know.”

“What?!” Sora laughed. “How could you not know, I already told you there’s only one way to get here. A Digivice.”

Rei stepped around Lita. “We know that, “ she yelled, “What we don’t know is what is a Digivice and how do we get home?”

Sora looked at Rei coldly. “You don’t have to yell.” she said.

“And you don’t have to be a jerk.” Rei said.

Lita stepped forward. “Look, all we want is to get home can you help us.”

“Of course” Tai said. “Izzy, you’d probably be the best at explaining this.”

A short boy walked forward and smiled. “No problem.” He turned and looked at Rei and Lita. “We were just about to leave to. To get home all you have to do is turn your Digivice off. Pretty simple, right.”

“Right.” Lita said, “but uh, what does a Digivice look like?”

“It’s a small computer with a digital screen on the front. You have to have on to be here.” Izzy said.

“Wait a sec, Lita, the Digivices are those little things we found in the temple.” she looked around on the ground until she spotted hers. She bent down and picked it up. “See.” Lita smiled and pulled hers out of her pocket. “Home” Rei whispered.

Izzy took Lita’s Digivice and showed them where the off button was. “Now, we all have to leave at the same time, it makes traveling easier.” He handed the device back to Lita. “Okay everyone, on the count of three. One, Two, three.”

Rei and Lita hit the off buttons simultaneously and the world around them once again faded to blue. When it was all over Lita looked at Rei and smiled, but her friend didn’t smile back. In fact, she looked rather unhappy. Lita turned around and came face to face with Matt. She screamed and Matt jumped back. “Damn, you don't have to yell.” Matt said.

“How did we get here?” Rei asked.

“I don’t know” Tai said, “We’ll figure it out. But for now you guys better come with us.”

“What!” Yelled Matt and Sora in unison.

Tai looked back at them. “Well, we can’t really leave them here can we?” He looked over to Mimi. “Is it okay if they stay at your house with us?”

“I don’t care.” Mimi said nonchalantly.

“It’s settled then.” Tai said.

“This sucks.” Sora said.

“Tell me about it” Rei said. Sora looked at her. “Here we are, stuck in this weird place with the rudest girl in the whole universe, This is gonna fun.”
