Saludos, Amigos! Otaku-Sama here again! ...OK, you can stop booing now...

What do you know, I�m starting the third one! Didn�t think I would, didja?

Anyway, here I am, typing away, even if I only got THREE reviews of Chapter 2,
and only two of them from a new reviewer!! (BTW, thanks for commenting, Liiya
Wolf and Canis Black, glad you liked it! ^_^ )
As said before, this lowly and humble god of Otakuness has no defined schedule,
plot line or idea of waddaheck�s going on, so you�ll just have to exercise your
patience. Heh. And don�t forget my Dear Reviewers to take a peek at the bottom,
ok? Now, on with the show!
Disclaimer: What!?!? You didn�t know that "Digimon Tamers" belongs to Hongo
Akiyoshi, and "Ranma 1/2" belongs to Takahashi Rumiko?!?!?! AND YOU CALL
YOURSELF AN OTAKU!?!?!?!
In other words: nope, not mine.
Oh, by the way, the "Drug-Crazed Spearmen from the Cult of the Holy Shoe" belong
to Jack Staik, Fanfic Writer Extraordinarie, and were hired without his
permission. Sorry, Sempai!

Chapter 3: Weird dreams are made of these...

It was midnight at the Saotome Dojo and Bakery, and not a sound was heard, not
even a mouse....
zzzzzzzz........ SSSNOOOOORREEEE!!!!!-Snort!-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....
...apart from the usual, that is.
This was the time when Morpheus came out of hiding, and wandered through the
sleeping minds of the lowly mortals, spinning oniric visions that would have
driven them mad had they been awake.
Of course, he never visited the dreams of the Saotomes, not after entering
Ranma�s, seeing what was there, and high tailing outtathere like a bat out of
hell. He still went to therapy because of that little adventure...
So, this means that Takato�s dreams weren�t his doing. Particularly this one...

Our dear not-goggle head-yet was floating, in the middle of a mist that didn�t
feel too... misty-like, his arms wide open.
"okay, this is new... don�t remember ever dreaming to be a water -drop
before..."
He could see he was in a public place -the Park he frequented-, and was wearing
only his Dragon Ball pajamas.
"...at least it�s not the dream of myself naked in the school..."
What, you haven�t had that dream yourself?
Now, floating around can get pretty boring after a while, so he started to look
around. Suddenly, things started to look more... animated...
>From the mist came two figures, walking with slender grace. One was a girl with
reddish hair in a spiky topknot, wearing a trench coat and -of all things-
sunglasses.
"Uh, what�s with the secret-agent look..."
The other silhouette, that stood taller -although with some weird limb
proportions- was still somewhat obscured by the mist, until another dark figure
appeared out of nowhere. Seeing this, the redhead finally spoke:
"Go. Now."
�Gee, really talkative, aren�t we...�were Takato�s thoughts. However, his mind
quickly changed subjects.
"Wow, a Renamon... and the other one�s a Lynxmon... now, THIS is gonna be one
heckuva fight..."
At the same time, both Digimon sprang into action. It was easy to see that
Lynxmon had some advantage in strength, while Renamon was faster and more agile.
Just like the fights his dad told him he had with his old buddy Ryoga -well,
Ryoga said it was mere cheating on Ranma�s part, but we know him...-.
With the professional interest of the martial arts student that he was, he
observed the fight, until Lynxmon managed to pin down the yellow-and-white fox.
The redhead took out a card -one of those from the card game, idly noted him-
and readied herself to slash it trough a white-and-blue device, when...
"Hey Renamon, if you bend your back a little, you can kick off your opponent!"
Instantly, she did as told, bended her legs to her chest, and kicked hard,
launching her foe up and behind her. With a quick flick, she righted herself and
faced where her opponent went flying. Only THEN did she realize, it wasn�t her
Tamer who gave her that advice.
By then, the redhead had switched cards, and proceeded to slash.
"Digimodify! Power Activate!"
"Hey, that�s neat... I could use it on my sparring sessions with dad..."
Feeling the surge of strength within herself, Renamon jumped high and readied
herself for her attack. While sharp, shiny shards gathered in front of her, she
caught on the corner of her eye, a floating, translucent, somewhat nervous
pajama-clad boy, staring right at her.
"Err... hello? umm, nice night, huh?"
"..." Renamon couldn�t help but sweat drop for a second, but had other important
things to do at the moment...
"Diamond Storm!!!"
In a split second, dozens upon dozens of light shards flew from her to the
Lynxmon, covering it. Suddenly, it exploded into data bits.
"Ouch, that hurts..."
Deciding to ignore the seeming ghost up there -after all, there weren�t therapy
groups for delusional Digimon that she knew about-, she went to the redhead.
Wordlessly, she took off her shades, and acknowledged the Digimon�s victory with
barely a nod. Only when Renamon wasn�t looking, did she permit herself a small
prideful smile.
Without her shades on, Takato had a clear view of her eyes.
"Wow, those are some gorgeous violet eyes she has... she really is kinda
cute..."
The redhead wondered why she felt the urge to blush.
"...even if she is something of a tomboy..."
The redhead wondered why she felt the urge to bash somebody.

���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Takato woke up the next morning. For a change, it was actually early.
"Gee, first that crazy dream, now I�m awake early... what�s next, Uncle Ryoga
getting a Geography PhD?"
Chuckling lightly at his small -and not really that funny- joke, he got up and
readied himself for bath, breakfast and school.
"Heh, maybe it wasn�t even a dream... in fact, I wonder if..."
With some BIG curiosity, he took his new... Digivice?... and stared at it�s
screen. The egg was still there. Fiddling a little with the buttons, he came up
with... nothing new. Oh, well, there was always breakfast...
As the family got together at the kitchen table, the curiosity got the better of
him.
"Hey, dad..." "Hmm? Yeah, squirt?"
"Have you heard of any monsters fighting around town, lately?"
"Huh? Of course not, son. That�s ridiculous."
"Yeah?"
"...the monsters never go farther than Nerima and Juuban."
"...oh yeah. Forgot about that, heh."
At that moment, Mie made her entrance.
"Alright boys, breakfast is here!"
"Yah, foood!!! Letseatletseatletseat!!"
"-ahem- what do we say to the nice lady?"
"...sorry, forgot... thanks, Honey!" said Ranma, after calming himself.
"that�s better."said Mie with a grin.
Takato chuckled.

��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Later, Takato found himself walking calmly to school. Now that he wasn�t trying
to break the Japanese Speed Record -the record for non-airborne objects, that
is-, he had time to ponder a few things...
"...first, that blue card that came out of the blue -heh-, then my Card Reader
getting a plastic surgery, then my Guilmon drawings being actually PULLED by the
freaking gizmo, then the egg, inside the gizmo, and finally that crazy dream...
and it�s not even the weekend..."
Indeed, that was a whole lot of paranormal, bizarre or just plain weird things
for a week...
"...heh, finally, a relatively normal week... at least the Drug-Crazed Spearmen
from the Cult of the Holy Shoe didn�t bother me this time..."
Waitaminute, just what kind of life does this kid have anyway!!
Meanwhile, at the school...
Katou Juri, a pretty -even if somewhat plain- girl, wearing a green dress, with
shoulder-length hair with a ponytail on one side, walked to school with her
friends. Yeah, she was a pretty normal girl -sock puppet notwithstanding...-.
"...you really think the kids won�t laff at me?"
"Of course not! Those glasses look actually good on you!"
Indeed, glasses she wore. Very cute, small, rounded glasses on a
gold-and-pink-highlights frame. Very feminine.
"...well, I guess I have no choice but wear them, since my optometrist says
so... funny I have the very same eye impairment her family has..."
"Talk about coincidence"
"That, and that all her brothers and sisters are doctors. Imagine, a whole
family!" chuckled Juri a little at that.
"Hey girls, whazzup!"
"Oh, hello, Hirokazu, Kenta! how are you today?"
"Fine, fine. Hey, new glasses, Juri? Look good on ya, tough I didn�t know you
needed them."
"Yes well, you know how things are... my optometrist found out just on Monday,
and only yesterday�s afternoon she gave me the glasses... made them herself,
just like her brother�s, she said."

"Really? And who is your optometrist?" asked Kenta

Juri�s answer was: "Oh, it�s Dr. Ono Hitomi..."

And then was when Takato appeared.

"Hello, buddies! Hello, Juri! How are you!"

Juri turned to greet her friend, and her glasses... fogged over.

"W-w-why, Ta-ta-takato-kun!! Fancy meeting you here!! Hahahahaha!!" Giggled and
babbled Juri. The Two Stooges looked at her strangely, while Takato just smiled
at her. Juri was such a nice girl!

"Heh, funny, Juri! You know we go to the same school! Hey, are those new
glasses? They suit you really good!"

Juri giggled somewhat... insanely, and twirled on her feet, her heavy schoolbag
still on her grasp...

"Ouch! Hey, watch it! Yow, that hurts!! Stop!! Please!!!"

...and kept whacking �Kazu on his head with it.

"Well, let�s get in before the bell rings. See ya!!" cheerfully said the Saotome
Spawn.

Only when he was out of sight, did Juri�s glasses clear up. Slightly confused
with what was going on, she didn�t notice Kenta�s sweat drop as she went in the
school.

"...oookayyy... and to think that sock puppet of hers was bad enough..."

Without much else, grabbed �Kazu�s twitching carcass and dragged him inside.

����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������

Later that evening...

Okay, Takato wasn�t completely wasted -at least, not as yesterday. With his
waking up early, he didn�t get late to school, thus not earning detention. So,
he came home early, just in time for his daily training with his dad. That saved
him from make-up exercises, thus doing his 100 push-ups with only one 80-pounds
flour bag on his back, and doing so in two minutes, instead of one. Also, his
help at the bakery was limited, due to little flour left -by the way, they had
to order some more for the next day-.

Thus, he was awake, not really tired, and wondering what he could do. That was
when he finally remembered his new Digi-whatchamacallit. Curious, he peeked at
it�s screen, and found-

The egg. It had hatched.

"Ohboyohboyohboy! Now what!?!?"

Again tinkering with the buttons, he navigated through several screens, until
some sort of compass appeared. Speechlessly, he saw the red arrow circle around
the compass, and suddenly stop, pointing in some direction.

He couldn�t help himself! He had to find out what was going on! Without much
thought, he opened his window and jumped outside. It wasn�t until he was falling
that he recalled that he still hadn�t jumped from a second-story.

"Waaah!!"

He managed to calm down, and landed on his feet. It was a little rough, but
bearable. He had to thank his dad�s training for that.

Not wasting more time, he tore down the street, following his apparatus�
compass. On the distance, a bright column of light pierced the dark skies.

"Well, it wasn�t green light, so it wasn�t a Shishi Hoko Dan... so it must
be..."

Increasing his speed, he vaulted over a wooden fence that surrounded a
construction site. There, coming from the deep excavation, came the light
column. In front of his astonished eyed, it became a thick fog, similar to the
one he had dreamed about last night. Not wasting more time, he slid down the
excavation�s slope and into the fog.

"Man, can�t see a f..reaking thing..." he would have kept talking, but the dark
red silhouette -of saurian shape- that he saw, was enough to shut him... for
three seconds.

"...oooh, boyyyy... now, THIS is new...."
�����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
