Chapter 5: Dream a Little Dream
Narrator: Henry made Gargomon stand on his head to get him to De-Digivolve back into Terriermon. I mean, there's not a hat in the world big enough to pull that rabbit out of. Later, Gorillamon Biomerged from the other side for a rematch with Terriermon, but Henry didn't want his friend to lose control again by Digivolving, so Takato and Guilmon along with Y/n and Impmon tried to take the monkey down on their own, but in the end, it took a group effort. To defeat the digital ape. Isn't it amazing what a little teamwork can do?
Takato, Kazu, Kenta and Y/n were making their way to school when they saw a bunch of people gathered at the soccer field.
Takato: Why's everyone over at the soccer field?
Kazu: Gee, I don't know. A soccer game, maybe?
Takato: At 7:30 in the morning?
Kazu: It could happen.
Y/n: But it's very unlikely.
When they got there, they saw a bunch of random chalk drawn on the field.
Y/n: What is this?
Later.
They all got to class where Mrs. Saachi took attendance.
Mrs. Saachi: Okay, okay, everybody. Give me your attention... For a change. You, too, Kazu.
Kazu: Aw.
Mrs. Saachi: I assume none of you vandalized the soccer field, though I wouldn't put it past some of you, but if you know anything about it, let me know, okay? Now pick up your pencils. It's time for a test.
The whole class began to complain.
Kazu: It's not fair!
Mrs. Saachi: If life were fair, I'd be in Maui. Maybe this will teach you to pay attention in class.
Kazu: (crying) I don't wanna learn that.
Y/n: Suck it up, Kazu.
Later.
It was lunch and Takato and Y/n over heard some people talking.
Kid 1: I'm telling you, man. There's something really weird going on here. Those drawings on the soccer field are just like crop circles, and those are made by aliens.
Kid 2: You guys are way off base. There's no such thing as aliens. What it really was, was a ghost, and that dinosaur the principal saw- it was a ghost dinosaur.
Kid 3: Okay, but how did a ghost eat all the food from the cafeteria?
Takato after hearing that had milk come out of his nose.
Later.
Everyone was cleaning up the classroom with Takato sweeping with Jeri.
Takato: So after all that, then they started saying that was caused by demons conjured up by last week's spud balls.
Takato noticed Jeri was looking a little down.
Takato: Wh-what's wrong? Don't tell me you ate the spud balls.
Jeri: I saw what did it.
Takato: Oh. Um, what do you mean you saw it?
Jeri: It all started this morning. I wasn't feeling well, so I went to the Infirmary.
Flashback.
Jeri was laying in an infirmary bed.
Jeri: (Narrating: There I was, tucked in tight, with nothing but the smell of iodine and camphor oil to keep me company. It was so quiet, when suddenly-)
Jeri heard something and sat up to look around.
Jeri: Hello? Who's there?
Jeri: (Narrating: I got out of bed and fearlessly marched right over to the cabinet to see what was there.)
She saw a bunch of bottles rattling.
Jeri: Probably just a cat.
Jeri: (Narrating: I moved in like a lion stalking its prey- Step by step, inch by inch.)
Jeri: Here, kitty, kitty.
One of the bottles fell over and a black silhouette jumped over her, making Jeri scream and fall. Jeri looked around, but couldn't see the creature.
Jeri: Where'd you run off to, nice kitty cat?
She looked around until she saw a little footprints on the ceiling.
Jeri: Since when do cats know how to walk on the ceiling? That's impossible.
End flashback.
Jeri: I was lucky to make it out of there in one piece.
Takato: Man, you're brave.
Y/n walked up to Takato and tapped his shoulder.
Y/n: Takato, we need to talk.
Takato and Y/n stepped into the hallway.
Takato: What's up, buddy?
Y/n: Takato, the creature Jeri saw could've been a Digimon.
Takato: Are you sure?
Y/n: Positive. What else could it be? We need to tell Henry about this.
Later.
The two met up with Henry.
Y/n: We think that whatever drew the chalk lines had to have been a Digimon.
Henry: I can see why you'd think that from what you heard, but we can't take a vague story like that and count it as concrete evidence.
Meanwhile.
The little Digimon was watching children play soccer and fantasized himself playing with them.
Little Digimon: Yay, me!
Later.
The little Digimon was still in the tree when everyone left and he was still cheering but he eventually figured out no one was there to cheer with him, which made him sad and his ears shrank.
Little Digimon: How come no one's here? Maybe that black and white Digimon they were kicking around got destroyed. Wait! Oh, I know how to get people here.
The little Digimon tried to get into the storage building, but it had a lock.
Little Digimon: Hmm. A door earring?
The small Digimon tried to take off the lock to no avail.
Little Digimon: Hmm. It just need some gentle persuasion.
The small Digimon grabbed a rock and began hitting the lock until it broke.
Little Digimon: Yay, me!
The little Digimon began to make chalk lines everywhere then play with the soccer ball.
Little Digimon: He shoots, he scores!
The small Digimon hit the ball into the goal.
Calumon: Yay, Calumon! Yay, Calumon! Yay, Calumon!
He looked around and saw no one but him was there.
Calumon: Hmm? No one came. But it's the best game ever.
The next day.
Takato and Y/n were out with their Digimon and heading towards the school.
Guilmon: So how come it's okay to come here today?
Takato: 'Cause it's the weekend.
Guilmon: Weekend?
Impmon: Y/n told me people usually hang at home and chill during the weekend.
Y/n: Well, sometimes we also go out to have fun since we have the full day to ourselves.
Takato: Yeah, no one's at school. See?
Guilmon: Right. Wait, you and I are here, see?
Impmon: And us too.
Takato: But no one else is going to be here, see?
When they got to the gate, they saw two men talking. One being the Principal
Principal: This is even worse than the last time. Do you have any idea what our chalk budget is going to be this year? And we're hosting that big Hopscotch tournament.
Man: I have an idea. Why don't we just use some ground up breadcrumbs?
Principal: Bread crumb- have you been reading that fairy tale book again?
Man: I just like the pictures.
Impmon: So much for us being the only ones here, see.
Later.
Takato and Y/n were feeding the schools rabbits.
Takato: Eat up, guys. Don't worry, it's not from the cafeteria.
Impmon held a leaf out to a small rabbit who nibbled at it.
Impmon: Heh. I'm starting to like these rabbits.
Guilmon was outside of the pin with a rabbit on the other side.
Takato: Making a new friend, Guilmon? Just don't eat him, okay?
Guilmon turned his head over.
Takato: What's wrong?
Guilmon: I smell Digimon.
Takato: Digimon?
Impmon: Oh, boy. Here we go again.
Guilmon walked closer to where the smell was coming from.
Takato: Careful, it might be dangerous. And me without a weapon- unless, of course it's afraid of rabbits.
Y/n: Takato, Digimon can fight on there own. That said... (pulls out Digivice and cards) I need to be ready.
Guilmon pointed to a roller.
Guilmon: Back there.
Takato: Right.
Takato picked up a broom while and Impmon were getting ready to fight, but it turned out to be Calumon sleeping.
Takato: Hey, he's a cute little guy.
Impmon: Hey, I know this Digimon.
Y/n: You do?
Impmon: Yeah. I met him the day I met you.
Calumon woke up.
Takato: Hi.
Calumon smiled upon seeing Takato.
Calumon: Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello!
Takato: Hey, there.
Takato tried to grab him, but Calumon hopped out of the way.
Takato: Huh? What's wrong? Don't be afraid. We're your friends.
Calumon hopped away again while giggling like a child.
Calumon: Play!
Takato: Okay.
Takato again tried to grab him, but Calumon hopped away again.
Takato: Tell you what- Why don't we play later, okay?
Calumon: no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Y/n: He's certainly energetic. What kind of Digimon is he? I've never seen one like him.
Impmon: He told me his name was Calumon.
Later.
They took him to Guilmon's den where Guilmon was sniffing Calumon.
Guilmon: Ohh. So you're Calumon?
Calumon: Right.
Guilmon continued to sniff Calumon which made him laugh more. Henry and Terriermon were also with them.
Takato: I wonder where he came from. I didn't see any digital field when we found him.
Y/n: Maybe he's been here for awhile and he somehow managed to break free from his field.
Henry: Hmm. I'm amazed he was out there on his own.
Terriermon: He's out there.
Impmon: No more than you.
Calumon: How do you get your nose so tickly?
Y/n: He acts like a child like Guilmon.
Henry: Hey, maybe we should find a Tamer for the little guy. It looks like he could use one.
Y/n: Henry, you know that's not how it works. Someone needs to have his Digivice which signifies their bond.
Henry: We should at the very least have someone look after him.
Takato: Yeah, but who?
Takato thought for a moment.
Takato: I think I know someone who could do it.
Henry: All right. Let's go get him.
Takato: Yeah.
Calumon: (Thinking: The red Digimon is great, and so is Impmon, but those other guys need to lighten up.)
Later.
The three along with Terriermon and Impmon went over to the playground where they saw Kazu and Kenta playing Digimon with another kid.
Kid: All right, make your move.
Kazu: Hmm. Okay, I'll play my upgrade card.
Kenta: Huh? You can't do that.
Kid: But that's not fair.
Takato: The one who just played the upgrade card is Kazu. He's the one I was thinking of.
Y/n: Well, I can see why. Kazu is pretty great at the game and if we were in a fight, he'd definitely know what modify cards to use. But he's way too hot-headed to see a Digimon as anything more than a brawler. .
Henry: Plus he only focuses on giving Digimon power to defeat the other guy and not enough on defense.
Takato: Yeah, that sounds like something Kazu would do, all right. He's really big into power.
Y/n: It's a strategy that's way too easy to predict, and that's why he's never been able to beat you or me.
Impmon: I don't know about anyone else, but I'd sure hate to be tamed by him.
Takato: (sigh) Yup, you're right, guys. So, who can we get now?
Terriermon: Hey, Susie!
Henry: What?
Takato/Y/n/Impmon: Who's Susie?
Henry: My sis. She's nice, I guess.
They made there way over to Henry's apartment where they saw a little girl with red hair in pigtails and red overalls playing with a doll. This was Susie.
Susie: Miss Prettypants, time to get ready for the ball. (As the doll: Let's do wear my Chiffon coat. Heathcliff loves me in it. It brings out my eyes.) Whatever Miss Prettypants wants, Miss Prettypants gets. Here you go. You'll be the belle of the ball, and everyone will be your friend forever and ever and ever.
Takato: (Whispering: By nice, you mean crazy?)
Y/n: Takato, be nice. Though, I do agree she's not a good pick. Her and Calumon would have good chemistry due to their childish nature, but I have a feeling she'd go a bit overboard. Plus, if we were in danger, she wouldn't have the experience to help us.
Later.
The group were sitting at a park thinking about their next course of action.
Henry: You know, a girl's not a bad idea, but we need one our own age.
Y/n: I have someone in mind.
Takato: Y/n, I know who you're thinking about, and Calumon would scare her for life.
Y/n: I'm sure if we take it slow and properly explain the situation, she can take it.
Meanwhile with Guilmon and Calumon.
Calumon: But playing is like breathing- I'll pass out if I don't do it soon.
Guilmon: We can't leave.
Calumon: Pretty please? We could play tag, or race each other. I'm so bored, I'll even play chess.
Guilmon: I'm board, too, but we've got to what Takato said. He'll be real mad if we're not here when he comes back.
Calumon: Ooh! But he'll be even more mad if you're unhappy, right?
Guilmon: Well...
Guilmon looked like he was really deep in thought.
Guilmon: Uh... you see...
It was silent for a moment.
Guilmon: Maybe we should play.
After hearing that, Calumon's ears grew.
Later at night.
Takato, Y/n, Henry, Impmon and Terriermon were walking by the school with a bag of bread.
Henry: I can't believe it. We didn't find anyone right for Calumon, and it took all day.
Takato: Yeah. Come on, we'd better get back before Guilmon eats the whole park.
Terriermon: Let's wait. Maybe He'll eat Calumon and solve our problem.
Impmon flicked Terriermon on the forehead.
Terriermon: Ow!
Back with Guilmon and Calumon.
The two were in front of the storage building.
Calumon: Well, this is it.
Calumon noticed all the locks on the door.
Calumon: Oh, no. There's three door earrings.
Guilmon began to back up.
Calumon: This thing wears way too much jewelry. Who's it trying to impress?
Calumon turned to see Guilmon digging a tunnel.
Guilmon: We can dig a tunnel underneath the door.
Calumon: Yay!
Calumon jumped into the hole with Guilmon.
Later.
Guilmon was pushing the chalk barrow with Calumon riding on it.
Calumon: And don't forget the line that makes you hop like Frogmon for the whole game if you cross it.
Guilmon: Okay, hold on.
He began to go faster and draw out more chalk lines.
Guilmon: Are we all done?
Calumon: We need a line that makes you crawl around like Wormmon.
Guilmon: Yeah!
They kept drawing lines until it looked like the symbol on Calumon's forehead.
Calumon: Oh, it looks good, Guilmon.
Suddenly, a bright blue light shot into the sky.
Calumon: Whoa! What did you do?
Guilmon: Me?
Back with the group.
They made it back to the den and didn't see Guilmon or Calumon.
Takato: Oh, man, they're gone, and I told them, like, 20 times not to leave.
Terriermon: Doesn't matter how many times you tell them if they're not listening.
Impmon: I knew I should've stayed.
Y/n: This is why you don't leave children home alone.
Henry: Everything will be fine.
Takato: Yeah I guess. You're right.
Y/n: Come on, let's go look for them.
They looked to the distance and saw a Digital field.
Takato: (gasp) That doesn't look fine to me. Does that look fine to you?
Henry: It's by the school.
Y/n: Let's go!
They ran off into the direction.
Back with the Digimon.
Guilmon and Calumon saw a black substance form in the ground.
Guilmon: Is that an inky void that makes you waddle like Penguinmon?
Calumon: I don't know, but good idea.
Guilmon/Calumon: Oh!
Guilmon: Looks like something's coming.
Out of the void came a small Digimon that looked like a gremlin and it laughed maniacally. Guilmon began to sniff the Digimon which made it jump back.
Digimon: Get back, hideous creature. Beware my wrath.
Guilmon: Don't be scared. Don't worry. I wouldn't hurt a tiny thing like you.
Digimon: I'm not tiny! I'm a dangerous Digimon whose power will make you tremble with fear.
Guilmon: And you're tiny.
That only annoyed the Digimon more.
Digimon: I'm just overdue for a growth spurt, okay?
It then launch an attack.
Digimon: Nightmare Shocker!
The Digimon launch a sonic beam from its mouth that just barely missed Calumon and destroyed the chalk barrow.
Digimon: Don't seem so tiny now, huh? Nightmare Shocker!
Back with the others.
They finally made it to the school.
Henry: It's a Digital field! Another Digimon is coming through. Let's go.
Takato/Y/n: Right.
They hopped over the fence.
Takato: Why am I sure this involves Guilmon?
Back inside.
The Digimon was chasing after Calumon.
Calumon: Why are you picking on me? Guilmon's the one who insulted you.
Guilmon: Hey!
Digimon: I don't care. Demon Darts!
The Digimon shot dozens of spines at Calumon that knocked him over.
Guilmon: Pyrosphere!
Guilmon shot his Pyrosphere, but the Digimon dodged. That's when the guys showed up.
Takato: Calumon! Guilmon!
Terriermon: Who is that?
Henry got out his Digivice and activated his database.
Henry: Vilemon, Champion level. Nasty little thing.
Y/n: His special attacks are Nightmare Shocker and Demon Darts.
Takato got out a modify card.
Takato: This will even out the playing field.
He scanned his card through his Digivice.
Takato: Digimodify- Wild Wing activate.
Guilmon grew three sets of angel wings.
Takato: Get him!
Guilmon: Right!
Guilmon flew after Vilemon.
Guilmon: Pyrosphere!
Guilmon launched another attack and it made Vilemon fall to the ground.
Takato: Not so easy now that Guilmon can fly, too, huh?
Vilemon: Aw, nuts! Grr!
Henry: Terriermon, it's your turn.
Terriermon: I'm on it.
Y/n: Impmon.
Impmon: Right.
Y/n and Henry both drew a card and began to scan them with their Digivices.
Y/n/Henry: Digimodify. (finish scan) Doppelganger/Speed activate.
With great speed, Terriermon rushed at Vilemon and pushed him down. Vilemon quickly got up and tried to attack.
Vilemon: Demon Darts!
Vilemon fired his Darts that hit three Impmon copies, leaving two to punch him in the stomach, but Vilemon quickly got up.
Vilemon: Have you had enough yet, fools?
Henry: Hurry up.
Takato: I can't decide.
Y/n drew a card.
Y/n: Be ready, Impmon.
Vilemon: Demon-
???: Yeah, right.
Vilemon turned to see Rika and Renamon.
Rika: You're too tiny to bother with, but a fights a fight. Renamon?
Renamon got into a fighting position.
Vilemon: I hate to beat up on a girl, but if you insist.
Vilemon rushed at them and Rika got out a card and scanned it.
Rika: Digimodify. Clone activate.
Vilemon: Nightmare Shocker!
Vilemon's blast went right through Renamon and she disappeared.
Vilemon: Ha! Got you.
Rika: The only thing you've got is a serious case of the uglies. Look behind you.
Vilemon turned and looked up.
Vilemon: Uh, oh.
Renamon was up in the sky.
Renamon: Diamond Storm!
Renamon's razor sharp diamonds beat down on Vilemon until he exploded into data. Renamon was about to download it, but Impmon using Skullmaramon's Chains restrained her and pulled her away, letting Vilemon's data go.
Rika: Hey, what was that for?!
Y/n: Listen, we appreciate the help, Rika, but that was taking it too far. You didn't even give him a chance.
Rika: Spare me your morals, Demon. And don't bother with any thanks. I did it for the data, and that's all.
Y/n: Is that all Digimon are to you? Data that only exists to make you stronger?
Takato: He's right. Digimon are living creatures, and you... kill them!
Rika thought for a moment.
Rika: No. Digimon are nothing more than data.
Y/n got a little mad.
Y/n: You're wrong. They are alive. And your failure to understand that is why you and Renamon will never be true partners, because you can't form a bond.
That comment seemed to really irritate Rika, but she held it in.
Rika: Renamon?
They were about to leave when Calumon hugged Rika's leg.
Rika: Huh? What is that little thing?
Calumon looked at her with pure excitement.
Calumon: Hi! Want to play?
Y/n: He's not a thing. He's a Digimon and his name is Calumon!
Impmon: And I swear, if you touch him...
Rika completely disregarded all of them.
Rika: Come on, Renamon. Why would I want to waste my time with these goggle heads?
Takato: Yeah? Well, good riddance. What's her deal?
Impmon: I know. And to think Y/n here thinks he can befriend her.
Y/n: I don't think, I know I can.
Calumon was leaving.
Takato: Hey, wait!
Y/n put a hand on Takato's shoulder.
Y/n: Let it be, Takato. I'm worried about his safety, too, but he's been on his own for this long. And who knows? Maybe we'll see him again.
Takato looked reluctant, but sighed.
Takato: I hope he's okay.
Henry: He's a strange little Digimon. I've never seen anything like him. I don't know if he even wants a tamer.
Y/n: Yeah, he just wants to have fun.
Y/n began to walk off.
Takato: Hey, Y/n, are you doing okay? Where are you going?
Y/n: Home. I'll be fine.
Y/n grabbed Impmon and gave his usual two finger salute before leaving.
The next morning.
Everyone was at school and the Principal was freaking out about the damage.
Principal: First, it's chalk, now it's chalk and holes. I'm about ready to pave this field over with concrete.
Teacher: We already have a parking lot.
Principal: You can be replaced, you know.
Y/n, Takato and Henry were watching from the distance.
Takato: (Whispering: You know, they probably wouldn't even believe us if we told them the truth.)
Henry: I know.
Y/n: Some mysteries are just better left unsolved.
All three of them gave a laugh at that.
Narrator: Jeez, how many times are these guys going to trash the School, and what is the deal with Rika, anyway? Will Y/n ever be able to befriend her? Better keep reading, "Digimon- Digital Monsters."
To Be Continued.
