Clara Mitchell picked her art supply bag up off the floor and ran towards the stairs, still brushing and doing her hair. She had overslept this morning. Her summer art class started in 20 minutes and the local bus would take at least 15. That wouldn't matter anyway if she didn't get to the corner in less than 2 minutes to catch it. Clara was sure she sounded like an elephant coming down the stairs as Mom was there at the door to block her.

"Where do you think you're going without breakfast? Or a lunch?" Mom scolded.

Mom was a real tyrant about Clara and her sisters eating properly. Clara reached into her pocket and pulled out her allowance. 

"I can buy both at the student store, Mom." She quickly slid her shoes on. "I haven't to go now, so I don't miss the bus! Love you! Bye!"

Clara ran as fast as she could to catch the bus at the corner. It was already sitting there and she barely made it on. The bus driver and the other passengers looked at her heatedly as she stood there panting and catching her breath.

"How...much?" She gasped out.

"A dollar! Now, get to your seat!" growled the bus driver.

Clara paid her fare and found a seat. The bus was about halfway to her school when a strange thing happened. A greenish colored vortex opened up in the sky. 

"What is that?!" Clara yelled and stuck her head out of her window, "Awesome! Its a spiral aurora! Whoa!!"

Suddenly, several streaks of light shot out from the center and one of them crashed into the road in front of the bus. The bus driver slammed on his brakes and brought the bus to a stop just before the new crater. Everyone on the bus was screaming and scrambling to get off.

Clara was trapped by the rush of people. "Ow! Stop shoving!"

Finally, Clara managed to get off the bus, more than a little bruised and jostled. A beam of light shot up from it and Clara has this sudden urge to go see it. She approached the crater and noticed that the light was coming from a [url=http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT8mzCzm02zhMIzxx5cs8wAqX8qUC9QmZV2I1jlft2qzj_DeebH]strange gadget[/url]. She didn't even hesitant to slide down into the crater to get a better look. The odd gadget started vibrating and grew brighter when she reached for it. As soon as she picked it up, she felt herself vibrating, too. There was a blast of light. She wondered why she wasn't more frightened about this as she lost consciousness.

The girl was awoken by a bright yellow chick-looking creature pecking her hand. Clara groaned and rubbed her head.

"Hey, wake up!" it said in a high, chirpy voice. "This is not a good place to take a nap, you know?"

Clara sighed and sat up. She looked around. Why was she in a forest? Her head hurt, so this couldn't be a dream. The little chick creature was so excited that it was bouncing up and down. It leaped up onto Clara's head.

"Yay! You're here! You're awake!" it chirped happily.

Clara reached up and grabbed it. Confused, she brought it to her eye level. It responded by smiling widely.

"Hi! I'm Chicchimon!"

Clara screamed at the top of her lungs and threw the poor Digimon into the underbrush. She jumped up and started to run away. 

Cicchimon hopped back out of the bushing and chased after her. "W-wait! Its not safe that way! Waaaait!"
