Begining of New Times

[Lost Digi Girl]

****Afternoon, Dec 15, 2005****

(several hours later, about 3ish in the afternoon)

It had taken Jasmine and Alidramon a while to figure out how to get back to Chesum. It was nice to be out here in the middle of the day, although Jasmine did begin to worry about if she'd make it back in time for the meeting. "Alidramon, I, I'm going to try something new, somewhat," Jasmine said, barely over a whisper. "I always worry myself silly, so maybe, maybe just saying it will help. I mean, I've been so worried about trying to do everything, and I know the otehrs are here to help now, things are finally turning around. Although it is kinda funny that a year later, here we are, on our way to talk to Alysha again, to take her to the tower. Even if we really can't make her, we need her. But, I'm worried we may have freaked her out last time, and she maynot want to help. Or maybe something happened to her and she couldn't come, or Realemon did something and Brandy forgot or never knew. And a million other random silly questions fly in my mind, and I'm just worried taht it might not work. What if Alysha can't get in Lunamon's room? Oh no, what if she can't even enter the tower, I though when Realemon sent her away, she illusioned her, but if that had happened, then Realemon would control her, and I don't think she is, butit's possible, right? What if this is all pointless, what if there was nothing in Lunamon's room? What if it's in that area Shayde found? What if there wasn't anything, she just wanted me to think there was so I'd keep trying, keep searching for a way to fix everyone and find another solution on my own. What if there is another solution, and I've been too busy and dumb to notice? What if...what if I mess everything up, even if people think I'm in charge. Even if I'm not digidestined, it'd make since if I wasn't supposed to be, so I could do this, but what if it's all wrong or I was supposed to be digidestined and somewhere along the way blew it or ignored the opportunity? What if my obsession with Jenni's world caused me to miss the chance in my world?" She had started crying but didn't notice. "What if I've ruined my life and everyone else's too?"

[Brandy's Back!!!]

Alidramon listening to Jasmine, patted her on the shoulder.

'Listen Jasmine Everything you have doen since this whole thign began, has been to your best abilities. Any friend could and cna see that, and if they're true friends like the ones you have back at that tower, INCLUDING Brandy. Then they can see you have doen more than enough for all of them, especially Brandy....And I know they are all thanking you in their own way. So calm done relax..were going to see one of your good friends, and I dotn think she wants to see you upset." Alidramon replied.

Jasmine nodded. "That's true, but it still feels like somehow, I messed up. I don't know how, it just seems like if at some point in time, if I had done one thing different, it wouldn't be this way. And anyway, I seriously doubt if Alysha remembers me. Even if we were friends before, she doesn't remember me now. All that was gone, only thing she might remember is the one time last year. And...I just hope Alysha can help, I hope it all works out."

[offline Jenni]

A black car pulled up to them. Jasmine moved so she was in between the car and Alidramon; she still acted like she had to protect her most of the time. The car stopped, and a teenage girl with long dark brown hair stepped out. It was Alysha. Jasmine almost fell over running over to her.

"Hi, I almost didn't recognize you," Alysha said, walking over to them. "I almost thought you were Jenni, again."

"It makes sense," Jasmine said. "I'm surprised you remembered us, or are willing to talk to us, I thought we'd have freaked you out so you wouldn't want to even see us again."

"It was weird," Alysha said, "but after thinking about it, it didn't seem as impossible as it first sounded. But I had no way of finding out where to find you again, any time there was some sort of attack in Chesum or Acamina I'd look into it, but never found you. I also knew that since you were one of the good guys,"

"At that time the only one," Jasmine interupted.

"You wouldn't be at the dark area with that big tower so I avoided that creepy place." Alysha continued. "But I never could find the place you said you'd be at."

Jasmine sighed. "Yeah, sorry. I said what it was but not how to get there. It's on the other side of the dark area, and that place still creeps me out."

"Sorry I never came sooner. But why are you here now?" Alysha asked.

Jasmine looked at Alysha with a serious look. "We need you. I've looked for a year but never found any way to remove the illusions. I've found more of my friends that weren't illusioned, and somehow, Brandy is back and no illusioned, but the others, including Jenni, are still illusioned and we can't fix them. I still think that there must be something inside Lunamon's room, and you are the only one that can go in, the others that could are illusioned or missing part of the key, they can't get it, we need you."

"Fine, let's go," Alysha said, going back over to the car.

[Brandy's Back!!!]

"Uhh yeah hi! I guess that explins it then...But i dont think I will fit so hold on one sec."Alidramon said adn de-digivolved into Alimon. and got into the car.

The girls got in the car and Alysha began to drive.

"I suppose it's probably help to tell you about what's going on, and the people who will be there." Jasmine said, after they had been driving for a while.

"Sure," Alysha said.

"Well, I should start off with how it started, or at least starting from when you were involved. The rest of us met you in fall of 2002, and at that time we thought Galulumon, another form of Lunamon, was our enemy. When she really met you, she changed and you two began to work together with us. But then we had to go to other dimensions to help our friends, we found Realemon. We escaped, but the year after, she began to attack us. And it all went really bad then, including her making you forget all that." Jasmine paused.

"I don't remember any of that...well, I wouldn't. But please continue," Alysha asked.

"Well, it's been crazy the last two years, and for most of it, really unproductive in trying to stop Realemon. She's done a lot, and using the others." Jasmine said.

"You never said how she made me forget, and what do you mean by 'using the others'?" Alysha asked.

"Realemon uses illusions. They change reality, so things become the way she wants. She wanted you to forget so you did, and she used the illusions to make the others think that they work for her, or something. I'm not exactly sure what she did, but they are loyal to her, but they were our friends." Jasmine stopped.

"Is there any way to remove the illusions?" Alysha asked.

"Not that we know of," Jasmine said, "I'm hoping Lunamon left something in her room to help, but I don't know, but it's the only thing I've really hoped would work since all this began..."

"What about the others? Like that girl you were talking to that day?"

"Oh, that's Brandy. She's our friend, and Alimon's real partner. Realemon made her join her, or something, and up until very recently, Brandy was Realemon's most loyal lackey. But Deragon saved her, so Brandy is good again. Deragon is one of the guys at the tower, he's good. Everyone at the tower right now is good except..." Jasmine got choked up.

"Except Jenni..."Alysha finished.

"It's not right!" Jasmine said, starting to cry. "She's our friend, she's the first person I knew here, usually it was her and Hidimon that would help us, it's not right for her to be controled by the bad guys. Hidimon's been gone since that day, but she's done that before and Jenni still helped us. And what's happened to her now, it's just wrong. The last year I was here, I saw Jenni sometimes, but she was always being controled. But right now, it's not even that, she's just wrong, it's just...nothing she says makes sense, nothing is ever relevant to anything. Deragon had said she was like Hidimon but Jenni is worse than that, Hidimon was at least knew what she was saying. And...Kenny's illusioned too, but I think he's breaking or had broke free, I'm not sure how. But he mainly just wants Jenni fixed, they were always really close."

"Yeah," Alysha agreed. "When we were kids, she always wanted him to play with us."

"She wanted him left out of the digital mess though," Jasmine said, whipping her eyes. "She was really protective of him, now he is of her. I just want them fixed. I want everything to be back to the way it was before, before any of this stuff, before all the new kids and when we all got along and Brian didn't hate Brandy and Jenni was herself and Hidimon was the silly one and Lunamon was even happy..."

"Then we'll have to make sure whatever we find in there, it can help," Alysha said. She paused, staring at a strange boy carrying a pile of stuff, including chairs, several backpacks, and several long poles.

"Stop the car please, that's Brian!" Jasmine said. Alysha pulled over near him. Jasmine got out and ran over to him. "What in the world are you up to?" she asked.

"What're you doing with a car?" Brian asked.

"It's Alysha's, we're going to the tower, if it's okay with her do you want a ride?" Jasmine asked. Alysha nodded.

"Fine, sooner I get there and drop this stuff off, sooner I can hunt down Brandy." he said as they got back into the car.

Jasmine nodded, nervous. "Let me email them and let them know we're on our way." SHe began to type in the D-Terminal, with Brian looking over her shoulder.
