[This time the scene is Takato's bedroom at night. He comes running into the room with barely contained excitement and drops a strange device onto the desk. It is white and about the size of his hand, with a small glowing screen set into the center and encircled by a red band. One side of the device has a slot that looks to be about the right size to slide a card.

He quickly dumps a pile of cards next to it. and frantically rummages through it.]

That blue card is gone. But... I'm sure of it! That card did this to my card reader!

[There is a distant flash of lightning, and Takato walks over to the window to look at the stars outside.]

If I'm right.... This is an actual digivice. And that makes me.... [He smiles with dawning wonder. But if this was a digivice, where was his partner? The digivice screen had only said no data when he had checked earlier. Slowly he turns his head and fixes his gaze on his drawing pad. With the drawing of Guilmon still displayed on top.]

....I wonder.

[He takes the thin pad of paper and tries to slide it through the slot. But it jams.]

Aw nuts, don't tell me I broke it.

[At that moment he hears his mother calling him for dinner, and begins to dejectedly walk through the door. But before he can, a flash of light from behind catches his attention, and he twists around to see the digivice pulling page after page from his notebook through the scanner. All the artwork and stats he had painstaking written over the last few days. At last the light disappears and the device grows quiet again.

But when Takato runs over to look, he sees the image of a red and white digital egg on the screen.]

...I have an egg? A real egg?

Egg? Like some kind of creature egg?

A digi-egg. (Takato could still barely believe this was really happening.) I think.... Guilmon is becoming real!

Really? Well that's a rare gift and all.

A gift? I don't think I understand.

There's many treasures in the world, sometimes too precious for those who deserve it.

For something like this, you have to protect your treasure when you find it. Lest someone takes it from you.

Oh, I think I understand? When he hatches I have to protect him.

Yep, lest someone tries to take him from you. That would be terrible. [Kaitou's a thief, but not heartless.]

A project?

[Takato shakes his head.]

Not a project. This is something so much better.

Which is?

Guilmon! He's becoming real!

So you are making something.

No, I don't think I made anything?

Are you all right? It's kind of hard to tell what's going on.

I'm fine! Everything is more than fine! [His expression is practically giddy, as you might expect from a kid who just had all of his geek dreams come true.]

[Aqua couldn't help but laugh.]

All right. So what happened? I'm guessing you didn't break what you were talking about before.

I think that I just became a Tamer! And Guilmon is becoming real.

What is a Guilmon? And I'm guessing that's what you're the Tamer of?

Guilmon is a digimon I created! I drew a picture of him.

You have a digivice???

I think so! There was this strange card in my deck today, and when I scanned it my card reader turned into this!

[He holds out the device.]

What's a card reader?

It's part of the Digimon card game. You use it to read the information on the cards and keep track of the scores.

[Takato looks at the digivice thoughtfully.] When I found the blue card I thought I could see what kind of card it was and I swiped it. But then my card reader started glowing and sparking. And it turned into this.

It looks different than our digivices.

What do your digivices look like?
