Synopsis
The episode begins with the main characters dealing with the aftereffects of last episode's events, with Takato and Rika's parents worried for they having disappeared, while Henry is working on the computer (since his dad already knows where he was). As Guilmon and Renamon search, Janyu asks Henry for his Ark, in other words his digivice. Offandedly, he notes that he ark has the capability to comunicate with the digimon and download any information from any database in the network, or at least it was what he had dreamed of it doing; He then asks Terriermon he he understood the feeling of seeing a dream coming true. He then reveals that someone had been making his ark a reality and digimon evolve faster, and that we was working with friends from around the world so that children wouldn't have to fight. Suzie then enters, saying mom had sliced a watermelon and taking Terriermon with her with both father and son follow, without finishing the conversation. We then see Jeri's house, when she is fetching some orange juice; We see that she is known to regular costumers, that her mom looks worriedly at her and that her dad tries to ingrain rules into her. As she enter her room, we see a picture with a woman that looks very similar to Jeri, but completely diferent from the one downstairs, holding a baby Juri in her hands. We also see her brother holding her hand puppet as he sleeps, which Jeri carefully put back in her hands. She then greets very respectfully Leomon out of her window with it, handing the orange juice over. She then asks Leomon about the Digital World, showing that she wants to have adventure and some fantasy in her world. She then asks Leomon for a favour, since both are partners. Meanhile, Rika tells Takato that Renamon hasn't found anything, but he reassures her that they will find it tomorrow. Renamon then warns rika that Vikaralamon's influece is dwindling, so they would need to find the portal quickly. She then asks Rika for the digimon to go alone, but is surprised by Seiko (her grandmother), who reveals to have noticed Renamon before, but that it had took her as a fox spirit protecting Rika (she notes that she wasn't that far from the truth). As Renamon apologises for not having introduced herself before, Seiko says she is beautiful. Rika then tells her grandmother that her mom wouldn't understand, that she wouldn't have time to tell her. Renamon confirms that she would protect Rika even at the cost of her own life, which visibly touches her. The next morning, Takato goes visti Guilmon but finds it's home with a huge hole. After Takato follows, Guilmon told him it was a surprise to have found a portal right underneath guilmon's home. Inside the network, Makuramon flies off with Calumon in hand, while Impmon falls wondering if wanting to be stronger was that wrong. Later, Takato is caught distracted in class, but as Miss Asaji sends him to detention. Jeri (first time for here), Kazu and Kenta decide to stay with him, while Jeri notes that it could be their last class (and Takato finds out that all of them want to go). After class, Yamaki is moping over the past events, and as Reika tries to get a response from him, he locates Takato's whereabouts. Later, miss Asaji reads the writen apologies, and finds out that the four will miss class to go to the digital world, even if the classes average drops. Miss Asaji manages to meet them just before leaving school, where Jenrya is waiting for them. Miss Asaji realises that they were the children with the digimon, but desperatly asks why do they have to go, being just children, and with did they tell her if she has nothing to do with it, worried for being blamed for anything that might happen. The tamers ask her to keep a secret until tomorrow, since they will be telling their parents, as Terriermon tells her "moumantai" (no problem). At Guilmon's home, Ruki tries to convince Kazu and Kenta not to go, since they don't have partners, but they want to find them in the digital world. Then they leave to tell their parents of their decision. Takato then takes Guilmon with him through the front door, to introduce him as the Digimon he had created to his parents. He then tells them of the other digimon, and how he needs to save calumon because he had been kidnapped by an evil digimon. He also tells them he wants to see the digital world. While his mother is understandably councerned, his father supports him because he had never seen him look so determined before. He also promises to make guilmon bread if Guilmon returns back home, as Takato inwardly thanks his dad and apologizes to his mom. Henry meanwhile tells Suzie that he would leave tomorrow with Terriermon, having sent an e-mail to his father because he knew he wouldn't let him go. Suzie takes this in stride and asks Terriermon to bring her a present. On the other hand Rika doesn't tell her mother, but allows herself to dress up to make her mother happy, and she is thankfull for it. Kazu, Kenta, and Jeri(along with Leomon) later on reveal that each, respectively, had lied to their parents, left them a note and not told them at all. Everyone waits with their backpacks for Takato, who disappeared to fetch the team flag. Before they go in to the portal Yamaki appears, but instead of trying to stop them he gives the group a communication device.
