Y/N: Wow, okay, so this is another story, well I when I say story I mean it loosely. This is going to be a series of one-shots that take place in the world we've been developing throughout Digimon Adventure 03 and Digimon Adventure 04. To clear up the timing, so you understand when a one-shot is taking place, I'll give you a bit of a run-down. 01 takes place in 1999, and 02 is in 2002. With that in mind, our 03 is four years later, making it 2006, and 04 is therefore 2009. Just a little insight there, so you understand age-wise what's going on. This is the first one, and it's Taichi. These stories won't always be in chronological order, but the chapter number will be. So if the third chapter takes place 18th, chronologically, then that's what the chapter number will be. It sounds confusing, I know, but it won't be when one is posted. You might not even notice. I hope you all enjoy these stories!

Chapter 1: Goggle Transaction

Taichi:

I was really excited. Grandpa hardly ever took me to the park. And if he did, he always brought Hikari. I was upset with her. She was supposed to be a little boy, one that I could play soccer with when she got bigger, but she was just a little girl. Mommy was so excited about it too. It wasn't fair. She wasn't that excited about me. She was always telling me to clean my room or pick up my toys. "Hikari could choke on them!" she'd say. It was always about Hikari nowadays. I was just the big brother. Nobody liked him. Not even Hikari. She cried every time I tried to get Mommy to let me hold her.

But now Grandpa was here! Grandma was being just as mean as Mommy and Daddy, and was fussing about little Hikari all the time, but Grandpa remembered me. He was really happy to bring me to the park, where I'd get to play with the new soccer ball Daddy gave me for my birthday. I hadn't got to play with it yet, because Hikari came along. But now I could and I had the bestest Grandpa ever to play with.

He was really old though, so after he kicked the ball a couple a times, I told him he had to go and take a break. I didn't want him to get a harp attack like Grandma was always worried he would. He laughed at me, and I didn't know why, but I liked being funny, so I smiled a really big smile at him, and then went to go and play soccer all by myself. I was a big boy now, so I was allowed to. Take that baby Hikari. You weren't a big boy like me! Ha.

Grandpa had started playing with the birds when I was kicking the ball. It was funny watching the birds hop around him trying to get the bird food that Grandpa always carried with him. I was glad he found somebody to play with, so he wouldn't get all lonely while I played my big boy game. I didn't want him to be sad.

I was having lots of fun, kicking the ball really hard, and pretending I got a score, but then I kicked the ball really super hard and it went to the scary place. I was a really brave boy, but it was too scary for even me. I watched as my ball bounced and rolled its way into the Big Kid Field. I was a big boy, but I wasn't a big kid like them. I was too little to play with them. There were lots and lots of big kids at the park that day, and they were all running around and playing a game. I think it was called 'Tag', but I never played it before, so I didn't really know for sure.

It was really scary, watching my birthday ball roll into their game. I could never go and get it now. They wouldn't even see me, that's how big they were, and then I would get smooshed. I didn't want to be smooshed.

Just when I was about to go and get my Grandpa to get it for me, a big kid stopped playing his game.

"I'll be back in a minute!" he shouted to them all. And then he went and picked up my ball! He was gonna take it away. It was mine. He couldn't have it.

I was gonna tell him that it was mine, but he was already coming over to me. He was gonna give it back! I was super happy that I'd get to play soccer like a big boy again, but I was kinda scared too. He was a really big kid.

He had light skin and brown hair and brown eyes, just like me! But he had a yellow shirt with a black marking on it underneath a red jacket that had short sleeves. He had dark brown shorts, white socks, red and yellow sneakers, light brown gloves and a light brown hat. But what stood out the most, was that he was wearing a pair of goggles on his head. I stared at them in awe and I was kinda confused too.

"You should keep a closer eye on your ball kid," he told me, handing me my birthday ball. "You wouldn't want to lose it. It's really cool."

"It's mine," I said quietly.

"I figured as much," he said with a little laugh.

"It's my birthday ball," I told him.

"It's your birthday?" he asked. I shook my head no. "I'm Takuya, kid. Takuya Kanbara."

"I'm Taichi," I told him loudly. He laughed again, so I felt better. He thought I was funny like Grandpa did. He didn't like Hikari better than me.

"Have fun with your ball, Taichi," he told me. He was really nice for a big kid. He was going back to the other big kids, but I needed to ask him a question.

"Why do you wear goggles, Takuya?" I asked him.

"Goggles are cool kid, that's why," he said with a laugh, and ran off to join in the game his friends were playing, and started talking to a girl with long yellow hair and a purple kitty cat hat.

He wasn't just nice. He was super cool.

"Grandpa!" I shouted, running over to him. "Grandpa, I met a really cool big kid. He saved my birthday ball."

"That's nice, Taichi," he said throwing more bird food out for the birds to eat. I watched them peck at the ground with their pointy mouths. I wondered for a minute what it would be like having a pointy mouth like them, but decided it wouldn't be very fun, because if Mommy had one too she'd hurt me when she kissed me goodnight, and she had to kiss me goodnight or I couldn't sleep.

"Grandpa," I said, taking some bird food and throwing it at the birds. Some of them flew away when I did. "I want goggles."

"Oh?" he said looking really interested. He was the only one that did that. Looked like he wanted to know what I was gonna say I mean. "And why is that?"

"'Cause goggles are cool, silly. Everyone knows that."
