Disclaimer: I own nothing but the megachips and the plot of the story

Author's Note: this story was brought to me as a request from Retro-Mania asking me to do a what if Kari was there at the start. I have re-mastered the story because my writing has improved since it first started. I will try to do a chapter a week to every other week. It all depends on the time that I have with my job. Please be patient. Thank you

So many things happened my fifth grade year, I can't seem to remember them all. What I do remember is the incredible adventure me and my friends had that summer and years later. But, I'm getting ahead of myself huh? I'm Taichi Yagami but you can call me Tai. Any way I remember exactly how it started my sister Hakari and I were sent to camp for summer. We meet some other kids while there I remember my first impression Mimi I think she etched herself in my mind with her cowgirl get up in pink with a bright attitude, Sora well not every girl you meet is in jeans and a shirt with a helmet on their head, Izzy well he was buried in his computer, Matt let's just say he tried to play too cool, Joe,was a funny guy really, well he was the nurse of the group, TK Matt's little brother was such a baby he was about six to Kari's five, that is until Kari is around, we all got along pretty well I guess. I should just start with the day we all meet the first day of camp.

~FIRST DAY OF CAMP~

I looked back at the car as I get out and sigh "Do I have to?" I ask my mother again as I watched Kari get out and bounce around.

"Yes Taichi you have to it'll be good for you to meet new people. Besides, you said you wanted an adventure." My mother says with a smile. I groan and sighed then gathered Kari's and my stuff.

"It'll be fun Tai!" Kari says playing with her whistle.

"Do you have to bring that?" I ask pointing to her whistle.

"How else am I supposed to call for help?" She asked rather deadpan then grinned. I decide to just let it go it was not worth it I would protect her but she likes having it for just in case. We walk away waving as our mom leaves and we head for the tents.

"Howdy!" a girl in a pink cowboy get up greeted us. "Aww you're just precious!" She says hugging my sister.

"Hey! I need your name first." Kari says with a chuckle wiggling away from her.

"Oh, I'm Mimi." she says grinning.

"Hello Mimi, I'm Tai. The one you were hugging is my little sister Kari." I say laughing as Kari regards the girl.

"MIMI! Your supposed to be getting water not gossiping", A girl with a blue helmet on her head says coming over "Oh, hi I'm Sora!" she says then spies Kari "oh so cute!" she says

"Thank you, can everyone stop calling me cute?" Kari asks laughing.

"I don't think so Kari you're just too adorable." I say with a grin and Sora laughs.

"I just got a weak signal look", a boy says coming up holding up a computer "Oh hey, I'm Izzy. Look Mimi I got the fashion videos you wanted." he says then they leave.

"Look there is one." I tease Kari as we walked along. She smirked at me shaking her short brown hair. I laugh softly and almost run into a blond haired boy.

"Oops, sorry dude." I says.

"Watch where you going next time." the boy says. We watch him leave each of us giving the other a puzzled look.

I don't know how much time had passed until the strangest thing happened during that summer. Well, looking back now it wasn't probably the strangest thing but, at the time it seemed that it was. Any way I had climbed up a tree to scout out the camp to stave off boredom. The councilors didn't seem to know really what to do with us. They tried some lame activities but I bailed out in favor of climbing the tallest tree I could. I took out my telescopic spyglass and looked around for a while. I was amused for a time but, it didn't last long. I thought since the weather was nice I'd take a nap. I was really good at balancing on the branch plus it was really wide so I didn't worry.

I slept for who knows how long when an icy feeling nipped at the tip of my nose. I woke up startled and looked around to see lazy snowflakes fat as can be fall to the ground. I hopped down as fast as I could to check out the ground. I had been sleeping long enough for the ground to have a nice blanket of snow with a few grass patches thrown in. The air turned cold suddenly and I found myself wrapping my arms tightly around myself and shivering a bit as I walked to find the best spot to warm up. That's about the time the snow turned into a blizzard.

Councilors and the like were trying to herd us to a safe location. I ran to find the others we all hid in a shrine. The wind howled outside as we could hear the snow fall outside the door. It was some time before I opened the door.

"The canoe races were canceled so let's have toboggan races instead!", I say looking around then step out.

"I am gonna to build the biggest snowman!" T.K says pumping his fists in the air and running off. Kari quickly followed after him giggling. Man if he were bigger I might have punched him right then and there.

"Hey T.K be careful! Slow down!" Mat says running after his little brother for damage control.

"Brr it's freezing." Sora says as she steps out wrapping her hands around herself and rubbing her arms as she came out. "and I didn't bring a jacket." she states then walks off.

"Man, and I was worried I'd catch a summer cold, but this is even worst." Joe says.

"Oh wow, why didn't I pack my fluffy pink snow boots?" She states with a wide smile. I looked inside to see Izzy looking at his computer screen.

"Still not working. Bummer, this storm is making a mess of my infrared internet connection." Izzy says giving his phone a rather puzzled look. Everyone started to exclaim over what we saw next and I could not just leave him out

"Hey what's your name? Izzy! Come out here you gotta see this!" I called. In the sky a rainbow of lights hung before us.

"It's beautiful! Magical even!" Mimi states we all could agree to that.

"Yeah it's really pretty." Kari says with big eyes.

"What is it?" Izzy asks

"Maybe an aurora?" Sora asks in awe we all were in awe pretty much at this point.

"You mean aurora borealis? The northern lights? But, that's impossible. You see that in Alaska. We're way to far south." Izzy stats.

"Tell that to the snow." Sora says confused.

"I really think we should get back inside before we all come down with pneumonia." Joe says. Good ole Joe forever our conscious.

"And miss this? The sky is like short circuting." Matt says that's about the time when I noticed something in the sky a colored vortex.

"Hey what's that?" I ask. Suddenly lights rained down from the sky making the snow fly everywhere. It took a few minutes before the flying snow stopped.

"Everyone are you alright?" Sora asked.

"I'm good." Kari says dusting snow off herself.

"We're still here." Matt says near T.K helping him.

"That was scary." Mimi says holding on to her hat.

"Wh-what was it?" Joe asked clearly frightened.

"A meteor?" Izzy says crawling closer to one of the holes the lights made. A light glowed from the hole and a weird device came out. It floated in front of all eight of us. We each garbed on to it and took a long look at it. "Okay so it's not meteors."

"What, are these?" Sora asks.

"My guess is a remote digital apperatus." Izzy states.

"No instructions?" Matt asks.

"Forget instructions. Surf's up!" I shout as the water suddenly rose up and we were pulled in to what I don't think any of us could guess.
