• "Why are we in such a hurry again?" I protested as Benihimemon continued to drag me along for the journey. Giving no response he continued to lead me through the forest, on what seemed to be a trail, except for the fact that it was so overgrown with vegetation that I was sure that even if it was a trail that it hadn't been used for years. But still I couldn't help but wonder what had gotten into Benihimemon, he's never been this persistent about anything before. And there were certainly no more monsters or evil digimon bent on ruling the world, was there? It was only then that I realized we had stopped and that we where standing in a small clearing facing a very peculiar monument or statute, to be honest I didn't really know what it was, but it did have the mark of Space on it. Curious of what it was, I very cautiously walked over to it and reaching out my hand.

    Suddenly I was startled awake by my alarm clock. It was 6:00 A.M. man I hated mornings. I hate them even more when I get woken up from a good dream. As I pulled myself out of bed I couldn't help but miss the good old days, back when I was one of the digimon tamers. But that was along time ago. This morning went like every other morning. I got up and made a lunch while eating breakfast then headed off to College. Man I hated mornings, and I had even more time to think about that since my drive to College took about 45 minutes.

    The whole way there I couldn't help but miss Benihimemon, it had been at least five years since I last saw him and was staring to give up hope of ever really seeing him again, it seemed as if these dreams were all I had left. I knew this would happen though, it seemed like every year I got older it got harder and harder to get back to the digital world until one day I just couldn't. I wish I could talk to some of the other digimon tamers about this, but we had all long since parted ways, ever since I moved to London and started college doing graphics. Trying to make it on my own, but I was doing a lousy job at it. I still didn't have enough money to rent anything in the city and was force to live in a small trailer house in a small farming town outside of the city. I showed up for work at 7:30 and enjoyed another fun day of hard pencil to paper work and hot weather. Although it was a fun task at times I would just drift off. the time went by quickly and before I new it, it was time to go home. Tired, sweaty, and smelly I got back on my moped and began my 45 minute drive home. Well at least tomorrow was Friday and although the college work was hard I had a really nice teacher, so work didn't start until 10:00 on Friday and the group bought breakfast for us in the morning at 8:00.

    I got home late as usually and started making dinner. Once again I found myself thinking about Benihimemon, the last time I saw him he had just figured out how to remain at his current state instead of having to digivolve back and forth each time. Man I miss him, some times I just wish I could live in the digital world forever leaving behind this crappy life. Just me and my digimon, that would be the life. Suddenly I was snapped out of my trance by the ding of the microwave, grabbing my meal I headed for the couch to eat my dinner and watch some tv. With nothing really good on I decided to get cleaned up and go to bed a little early, on the off chance that I could continue my dream from last night. As I got into bed I just let my mind wander drifting off to think about Benihimemon again and all the fun times they had. Man I really liked him, he was the best friend I ever had, no we were more than just friends we where partners. We looked out for each other and were both willing to lay down our lives for each other. I don't know if I would ever find another friend like him.

    Drifting off to sleep I found myself standing in the little clearing in the forest with Benihimemon and that strange monument. Turning to Benihimemon I asked "What is it?",

    "Its what I've been looking for these last five years. It is what will bring the reunion back to the digital world once again”.

    "The reunion so I need to find a way to shut it down before it turns on” asking desperately trying to believe what I was hearing. The only response I got was a single finger pointing to an inscription engraved in the stone itself. Which read: To release that which is hidden within, to reunite those who have lost a friend, and grant a wish you desire within. Both must stand and face each other, those who are true in heart will receive that which they truly desire. "Wait, how will this thing allow me to see you again if I have to see you first in order to do what it says?" I asked.

    "Dom" Benihimemon said, "I've discovered how you can return to the digital world."

    Desperate to know I asked "How, How can I come back to the digital world, tell me."

    Startled and confused I found my self awake and lying in my bed drench with sweat. It was 6:00 again and with my alarm set for 6:30 I couldn't help but wonder what woke me from the dream only minutes before I discovered how to return to the digital world. Wait a minute; it was just a dream wasn't it. But it seemed so real and to have it pick up right where the last dream ended. That's weird and as much as I want it to be real, it was only a dream. But man if only it was real if only I could return. No it was a dream and I have better get going and get ready for work. So I did my normal morning activities and headed off to College, but during the entire day I still couldn't shake the dreams I have been having. They just seemed so real, and if it was Benihimemon trying to communicate, then maybe I really could go and live in the digital world. College that day went as it did everyday only I got yelled at a lot more because my mind just keep going back to Benihimemon, and I kept forgetting what I was doing. It was one of the most spacey college days I had ever had. But I just couldn't wait to get home and go to bed, on the off chance that the dream continues.

    The day ended promptly at 5:00 and it was time to go home. The drive back home just flew by as I couldn't wait to get home and just enjoy the weekend with a six pack waiting for me in my fridge. Getting home I grabbed a few beers and sat down in front of the tv. Knowing good and well that drinking would help me fall asleep faster and sleep longer. I just couldn't wait till I returned to my dream just to be back with Benihimemon. And before I knew I was passed out on the couch, drifting off quickly back into my dream land.

    Awoke once again in the clearing with Benihimemon I immediately turned to him, "How do I get back into the digital world? You must tell me."

    Looking me dead in the eye he told me "The only reason it became harder and harder for you to return to the digital world is because you started to doubt its reality. The digital world will always be there but only those who believe in it can return on their own without the help of a digivice."

    So that's it, is that the whole reason I have not been able to return. "Benihimemon tell me is this real or all a dream." I asked impatiently.

    "I had tried to communicate with you sooner but it was only until recently that you opened back up to me and that allowed me to contact you."

    This is real, it has to be. "I ...."

    Damn it. I woke up again. Benihimemon I miss you and I do believe! I just want to get back and leave this world behind. "What the!" Man I am either hung over or the tv is screwed up. "Wait a minute that looks familiar, is it, no it can't be." As I found myself standing to my feet, my eyes fixated on the tv. It hit me, Benihimemon said all I had to do was believe, well its worth a try I thougth. As I walked to the tv I kept telling myself that this is real and that I do believe. Then staring point blank at the tv came the moment of truth, reaching out my hand I touched the tv, but nothing happened. "come on man" I said "I Believe." Then it happened, I stood there stunned as my hand slowly sank into the tv. It worked the portal had been reopened. Then without a second thought I allowed myself to get sucked in. Shocked at first at what had just happened, I couldn't help but wonder if this too was just a dream. No it was real the smells the sounds, I know this place. I did it, I'm back in the digital world. Letting out a chuckle as I took it all in. Finally I'm back.
