[i]"Anna, clean up the dishes and when that is finished mop the foyer."  Mr. Kaufmann said with a stern voice.  Before he stood up and left for his study. Annaliese could merely nod meekly and do as he bid.  She wished she could tell him off but she didn't want--[/i]

"--ey wake up, stupid" A small voice called out from right in front of her.  Annaliese's eyes opened wide. What happened? Did she pass out?  It was daytime at least. "Are you ignoring me? I don't like it when people ignore me, especially midget humans that don't know what a mess they got themselves in."  Then she felt a small boot pushing on her chin. It wasn't painfully hard or anything, just an annoying feeling.

"And whoever you are, would you stop." Anna said, more of a command than a question as she reached out to stop whatever was pushing on her.  Soon, her hand found something and tried to grab around it.  She couldn't fit her entire grasp around whatever it was, but it was enough to keep the little thing at bay so she could move her head.  "The heck."

"HEY! HEY! What do you think you're doing!?"  The thing complained greatly.  "I'll call a Lawyermon and I'll sue the. . . " Annaliese looked up and saw just what it was.  A small fairy. . . Or something.  She had spikey boots, short shorts, a very small uncovering tanktop and. . . Clawed Gloves.

Regardless of what she was wearing, she was small enough for Annaliese to think she was, "Adorable!" She could help but pull the small creature in to a hug.  She would fit just in with all the other plushes and stuffed animals back home. Wait. Where was home now? Where is here?  She pulled the constantly complaining fairy away from her as she looked around. "Tell me.  Where are we?"

The little fairy seemed a bit miffed still, but decided to tell anyhow.  "Not your world.  You're in the digital world, home of the Digital Monsters. Digimon for short.  I'm one of those and you can just call me Tinkermon."  With Annaliese not paying attention the small fairy digimon pulled out of Annaliese's hand.  "Anyhow, that device on the ground there. Yours right?"

Annaliese had forgotten about that by now. "Yea, I think I need it to help get back home."  Ready to figure out how to do that, she stood up.  "Now, I just get to figure that out."

Tinkermon chuckled almost evily and crossed her arms as she floated up and stared Annaliese down.  "Well, you're lucky a friend of mine has a soft spot for midgets like you. Elsewise I'd not be here to help."

"Who are you calling a midget you foot tall dust-maker?" Annaliese retorted, not liking the idiocracy she could hear coming from the digimon's mouth.  It wasn't in her nature to just stand there and take it like that.

"Hey!  Ehh, not so bad. For a human.  I might actually like you a little bit."  Tinkermon giggled as she found herself a nice spot on the girl's shoulder.  "For now, there were others that came here like you.  Let's go find them."  With little other option for now, Annaliese went where the fairy beckoned her to go. Into a nearby forest.
