     "Um, hi Mrs. Izumi, is Izzy there?"
     "Oh hello Taichi!  And Yamato.  Come on in, Izzy's in his room."  Mrs.
Izumi opened the door to their apartment and let Matt (and Wix, Liz, and
Tai) in.  "Go on in."  she said.
     "Hey Izzy?"  Matt opened the door.
     "Huh?"  Izzy turned around in his chair.  "Oh, hi Matt, Tai.  Come on
in.  What brings you here?"  he turned quickly back to his computer to type
in a couple things while Matt closed the door behind him.
     "Oh, just these two kids."   Matt said briskly.
     "Who?"  Izzy asked.  Matt stepped aside and revelaed the other two
children.
     "This-"  Matt pointed out, "-is Wix, and this is Liz.  They're
cousins."
     "Kind of."  Liz grinned.
     "Hi."  Izzy kind of just looked at the two children with a blank look
on his face.  "Uhm, sorry!"  he apologized.  "I'm Izzy."
     "I could tell."  Wix smiled and shook the 'boy genius'' hand.  Izzy
smiled back.
     "So, what's going on?"  he asked.
     Behind their backs, Tai was pointing furiously at the two cousins. 
Izzy looked at him like he was nuts, so he stopped.
     "Matt?"  he asked.
     "Well, it's like this Izzy... Hey Wix, could you show him your, um,
y'know?"
     "My what?  Oh!  Oh yeah, sure."  Wix drew out his crest, showing it to
Izzy, who looked very interested yet confused at this.  "You see, Izzy, Matt
is, um, a relative of mine.  But not my cousin or anything like that.  He's
my, well, I guess you would say, my dad."
     Izzy laughed nervously.  "What are you saying?  That he's your father? 
That's impossible, he's probably only, what?  A couple years older than
him?!"
     "That's right, Izzy."  Liz leaned over him, and their eyes locked. 
Izzy was struck by a thunder of realization.
     "You mean... th-tha-at h-he's from th-the f-f-f-f-f-fu-u-u... "  he
stumbled upon words.
     "Future for gosh sakes!  Gawd, don't you get it?  I sure don't!  But so
is Liz, only she's Tai's daughter!  And I don't get a thing about how we got
here!  And I wanna get back home now!"  Wix cried out.
     "Wix!"  Liz grabbed his wrists and looked into his eyes, which were
denying to meet hers.  Finally they met, and Wix sighed, and calmed down.
     "Sorry.  I'm just... just scared."
     "I know.  So am I, but hey, what about Digiworld?  We went through hell
there!  Don't worry, we'll get back home Wix."  Liz assured her cousin.
     "Thanks... "
     "Uhm, h-how did you guys get here incedently?"  Izzy asked.
     "Um... well, this is gonna sound stupid, but from my brother Daisu's
closet."
     "His CLOSET?"  Matt asked with laughter.  "Gee, that's unusual."
     "Yeah I know!  He was at swimming camp, and Uncle Matt had to go on
some trip, so Wix stayed with me and mom, and that same night he came we
looked into Daisu's closet, and then this light engulfed us and poof!  Here
we are... "  Liz grimaced.
     "That's very insane."  Izzy said.
     "I know!"  Wix shrugged.  "Do you think it has something to do with the
digiworld?"
     "Let me think... well, Liz, your mother is who again?"
     "Sora.  And Taichi's my pop."
     "And Wix?"
     "Matt's my dad, and my mom is Tisha."
     "Tisha?"
     "Yeah.  They met in college."
     "Oh.  Okay."
     Instantly Izzy started typing furiously on his laptop.  Everyone watied
for about five minutes, and then Matt spoke up.
     "Hello-oo, Izzy?  What're you doing?"
     "Analyzing something."
     "Like what?"
     "Oh, um, something that has nothing to do with this sittuation.  I just
realized I had to finish it before I do any more thinking... there, done!" 
He shut his laptop and turned to them.  Everybody sweatdropped.
     "How old are you two?"  he asked Wix and Liz.
     "We're both fourteen, but Liz is older by a couple months."  Wix
answered.
     "Ok.  So, do you know anything about WHY you might be here?"
     "Geez what is this!  A survey?  Don't ask questions Izzy!"  Wix blew
up.
     "Settle down Wix!  It's ok."  Liz grabbed him.
     <Geez... he sure has a tight rope... what a jerk!  Heh, just like
Matt... >  Tai thought.
     <Man, excuuse me for saying this, but she's kinda cute... >  Matt
raised an eyebrow.
     <I wish I could do something for Wix!>  Liz thought.
     <I wish I didn't have this stupid temper!>  Wix sighed.
     <Hmm... >  Izzy pondered.
     "Huh?"  Izzy snapped.  "Hey Tai, isn't Sora out of town?"
     "Yeah... she went visiting relatives or somethin'."
     "And Matt, aren't you going someplace this week?"
     "Yeah, I am.  Mom 'n' Dad are sending me and T.K. off to our Grandma's
to visit for a week."
     "There you have it."  Izzy shrugged.
     "Have what?"  Tai asked.
     "Why Wix and Liz are here, of course!"  he grinned.  "They're here to
replace Sora and Matt.  I don't know why though.  This HAS to have something
to do with Digiworld.  But I don't know what.  We'll have to just wait and
see."
     "Man I hate waiting."  Wix leaned against the wall.
     "Live with it."  Tai said.
     "Shut up man!"  Wix snapped.
     "Shut up BOTH OF YOU!"  Liz roared.  "Just stop fighting, huh?  This is
like Daisu and Akira!"
     "Who's Akira?"  Izzy asked.
     "He, um, replaced you."
     "He did?"
     "Yep.  Nice guy.  He's thirteen now.  Right Wix?  Geez... that reminds
me, Daisu is gonna be sixteen soon!  Dude!"
     "Daisu... I know a kid named Daisuke.  Does that have anything to do
with-?"  Tai started-
     "Yep!  You named him after Daisuke!  Dai has a kid, her name's Tami." 
Liz said.
     "Dude."
     "Hey, how old're you anyways?"  Liz asked him.
     "Um, sixteen."
     "Thought so.  And you're fourteen, right Izzy?"
     "Yeah."
     "And you're sixteen too Matt?"
     "Yeah."
     "Whoa... that's close."
     "What is?"  Matt asked.
     "Nothing!  Fageddaboutit."
     "Whatever!"
