It had been a rough year for Rita. She had missed a lot of school due to a sudden illness. Somehow she still managed to attend enough to graduate to the next grade, it would be her final year in elementary school before starting high school. The summer breeze was warm, not too hot, but enough that sitting outside with a cold drink felt refreshing. Rita's father was golfing, not a big surprise since the weather was nice. She could hear her mother cleaning the house, even from outside. It was a rare day when things seemed calm, Rita longed for moments like these. It was quiet, but a peaceful quiet. Looking up at the clouds as they passed by, Rita noticed that they were somewhat strange. It was as if they were being pulled into a whirlpool-like current. Puzzled, Rita watched in amazement, contemplating if she should call her mother out to witness the sight. A sound then caught Rita's attention, remaining still, she tried to hear the sound more clearly. The only thing she could compare it to was the beeping sound of a digital watch, only slightly different. Out of nowhere a glowing orb of light slowly fell towards Rita. She couldn't move, even if she was scared, her curiosity got the better of her once more. For some reason she held out her hand, without thinking of the consequences. It could have been hot or even radioactive. Rita only felt a strong connection, like whatever it was wanted to find her. As her hand gripped the small orb, she released her fingers to find a small light blue digital device. Flabbergasted, Rita examined it. The device didn't seem to do much, when she pressed the buttons it only showed the time, which oddly enough was correct for her time zone. "Rita, do you want some lunch?" Rita's mother questioned as she came outside. "Ah, sure..." Rita spoke, her focus still on the small device in her hand. "What's that?" Her mother asked, bending down to get a look. "I don't know... the clouds were acting weird and then an orb of light fell from the sky and when I grabbed it I was left with this thing..." Rita explained. "... Right... I think you've been watching too much TV." Her mother sighed. "I'm telling the truth!" Rita argued back. "Okay, I believe you..." her mother retorted, clearly doubtful. Rita grew only more frustrated. "I'll call you when lunch is ready," Rita's mother announced as she walked back in the house. Rita looked down at her device again, she wasn't crazy was she? That did happen... didn't it?
After lunch Rita went on the computer to send a message to her cousin in Japan. She had heard stories from her before about these creatures called Digimon who were from a whole other world. Mimi said she had been transported to this world when all those weird things were happening all over the world the prior summer. Rita had seen these monsters on the news and her mother figured it was just some joke. Rita knew Mimi would never lie though, plus after talking to her she could see that Mimi had matured in some ways. She never got into the details, but something happened to Mimi that changed her for the better. Rita looked down at the device again. It was plausible that this device had come from that other world. Mimi did say it was a digital like world and this was a digital like device... Rita held it in front of the computer and all of a sudden it started to glow. Rita couldn't believe her eyes when not only this strange device lit up, but the computer screen as well. She could only watch in amazement when a little white blob with leaf like ears popped through the screen and landed on her lap.
