(JERI WALKS INTO "MATSUKI BREAD" BAKERY)

Mr. Matsuki: Well, hello there Jeri!

Jeri: Morning Mr. Matsuki. Cream puffs sure look good today. Then again, they always look good.

(LOOKS AT SHELF)

Mr. Matsuki: All set?

Jeri: Is...Takato here?

Mr. Matsuki: No, he's out right now.

(JERI PAYS FOR HER STUFF AND WALKS OUT)

Mr. Matsuki: Thanks, I'll tell Takato you dropped by!

(KAZU AND KENTA APPEAR)

Kazu: Hey Jeri! Were you looking for Takato?~

Jeri: Uh-huh.

Kenta: What a coincidence, so are we.

Kazu: Come on, join our posse and we'll track him down!

(THEY GRAB HER AND DRAG HER THE OPPOSITE WAY)

Jeri: Kazu! Wait a minute, where are we going? You're squishing my cream puffs!

-------------------------

(YAMAKI AND HIS CREW ARE HARD AT WORK)

Yamaki: Every day, people in the city go about their business, blissfully unaware of the danger that is to come. We are their silent guardians, their only protection against the digital menace. But the key to controlling the digimon lies in the code you're working on, Mr. Wong. And every second you and your team waste brings us an hour closer to chaos.

Janyu: It's not as simple as copying something from the side of a cereal box. Shibumi's code - it's encrypted and highly complex.

Yamaki: Tell that to your children when their world is destroyed, because that's what these monsters will do if we don't stop them soon. This isn't a game, like it was in your college days, Mr. Wong. If you care for your children, you'll get me that code at once.

-------------------------

(KAZU, KENTA, AND JERI ARRIVE AT THE PARK)

Jeri: Would you guys quit pulling me? I'm not a stuffed toy, I can walk on my own, you know!

Kazu: Yeah, but you're 'pokey. Come on, we wanna get there before Christmas!

(THEY BEND DOWN AND HIDE BEHIND THE BUSH NEAR GULIMON’S HUT)

Jeri: Why are we in the bushes?

Kazu: Shh!

Kenta: I can't see - is he there?

Kazu: Oh yeah.

Kenta: Really?

Jeri: Ohh!

Kenta: Are they all there? What are they doing? Do they have a secret handshake?

Kazu: Stuff a sock in it, would ya? Amateurs...

(THE TAMERS ARE TALKING ABOUT STUFF)

Henry: So that's my theory. What do you think?

Rika: Hmm...

Henry: Mmm-hmm.

Takato: Mmm... I still don't get it.

Rika: It's elementary, goggle-head - the Sovereign digimon's behind all this.

Henry: I think he's responsible for the Devas appearing.

Takato: So the Sovereign's a digimon?

Henry: Yeah, but not a regular one.

Guilmon: Am I regular one?

Terriermon: You're a regualr goofball!

Renamon: Well then who is he?

Rika: Mmm...

Henry: Hmm...

Takato + Guilmon: Mmm...

Terriermon: Maybe a sandwich will help us think.

Kazu: Come on, less talk, more action!

Kenta: Fight, fight, fight!

Jeri: It's nice they're getting along...

Kazu: Man, check it out, they look totally intense!

Kenta: That's so cool!

Jeri: What is?

Kenta: Being one of them, talking about real digimon kicking Deva butt.

Kazu: I'd do anything to be a tamer.

Kenta: Wouldn't you, Jeri?

Jeri: Not really...things like that don't usually happen to me.

Kazu: Well, I could totally be a tamer, and I'd have the most awesome partner. Just like Omnimon!

Kenta: Yeah, well my partner would be Imperialdramon! What about you, Jeri?

Jeri: Me? I-I told you, I'm not into digimon, I don't even collect the cards...

(A BUNCH OF CARDS SPILL OUT FROM HER BAG AND SHE LOOKS EMBARRASED)

Kenta: So, is there something you wanna tell us, Jeri?

(JERI PICKS UP THE CARDS SILENTLY)

Kazu: You are one strange banana, you know that? Ah!

Kenta: Hm? Ah!

(THEY LOOK AT THE HUT)

Kazu: Oh, terrific!

Kenta: Wait, where'd they go? How'd they disappear? Some kind of digital warp trick?

Kazu: Get a grip, dude! They probably left when we were yakkin' in the bushes!

(RUN TO HUT)

Kazu: Must be on a mission.

Kenta: I bet another bad digimon showed up, with fangs and horns and stuff, and they're tracking it down.

Kazu: Maybe it's a Deva!

Kenta: We gotta be there! Come on!

(RUN OFF)

Kazu: Oh man, I hope they don't start without us!

Jeri: I guess I'll just go home...

(CALUMON HOPS OUT OF THE BUSHES)

Jeri: Calumon?

Calumon: Mmm, somthing smells yummy good!

(TAKES THE CRÈME PUFF OUT)

Jeri: Want one?

Calumon: Bun, bun, bun in tum, yummy yummy bun bun!

(MAKURAMON, WHO IS REALLY A DEVA BUT DISGUISED AS A HUMAN LOOKS OVER)

Jeri: Guess I'll have one too...

(STARTS TO BRING IT TO HER MOUTH)

Calumon: More yummy goodie snacky stuff?

Jeri: You want more?

Calumon: Yes please, thank you!

(GIVES THE BAG TO CALUMON)

Calumon: Another treat for me!

(SHE WATCHES CALUMON CHEERFULLY)

Jeri: I wonder... Could I ever be a tamer? Could Calumon be my partner? Calumon?

Calumon: Good food!

Jeri: You like me?

Calumon: I like your food!

Jeri: I like you too! Then it's settled! Calumon, you and I are going to be partners!

Calumon: A-wha?

Jeri: Say hello to your new digimon tamer!

(FALLS OVER)

Jeri: Well, is that the way you behave to your new tamer? You don't think I'm cool enough like Takato.

(SHAKES HIS HEAD CUTELY)

Calumon: It's not that!

Jeri: Then what is it, you said you liked me, didn't you?

(MOVES HIS FINGERS)

Calumon: Oh gee, oh, um...no!

Jeri: Now I know I may not look like one, but I could be agreat tamer and help you with a lot!

(A WEIRD SOUND IS HEARD AND A DIGIMON APPEARS)

Calumon: Oh no, oh bad, bad, oh no, oh bad...

Jeri: Don't panic...a tamer never panics...

(KUMBHIRAMON! ANOTHER DEVA!)

Kumbhiramon: Now is that any way to greet...your worst nightmare?

(CALUMON AND JERI CLING TOGETHER IN FEAR)

Kumbhiramon: Nyaah!

Jeri: Are you my partner, Mr. Whatever-you-are?

Kumbhiramon: I am a mighty Deva who serves the all-powerful Sovereign dm, why would I join forces with a pathetic human?

Jeri: Thank goodness! No offense, but you're way too bizarre! I can't tell if you're a mouse, a spider or a nutcracker! Wait a minute... if you're not my partner, then you must've come here to fight me and Calumon!

(THE DEVA LOOKS AT THE CUTE CALUMON IN JERI’S HANDS)

Jeri: Get'm, Calumon!

(CALUMON JUMPES OUT OF JERI’S HANDS AND HIDES BEHIND HER)

Jeri: What are you doing?

(SCREAMS AND RUNS)

Kumbhiramon: Ha ha, let the games begin!

(MAKURAMON WATCHES)

Weird Kid: Hm...

Jeri: I don't get it, why don't you use a special attack on him or something, what kind of digimon are you?

Calumon: A cuddly cute kind who doesn't like to fight and gets cramped when he eats too much!

(THEY COME TO A BIG FOUNTAIN PLACE)

Jeri: Maybe we lost him...

(THE DEVA JUMPS DOWN TO SEE THEM)

Jeri: It's been nice knowing you, Calumon... I can't move...

Calumon: Me neither...

Jeri: It's a miracle! I wonder what this means?

Calumon: Maybe the fountain didn't like the way he tasted?

(A RAINBOW APPEARS AND A BIG LION NAMED LEOMON COMES OUT)

Jeri: Ahh!

(JERI PULLS THE LEOMON CARD OUT OF HER POCKET)

Jeri: I knew it! It's Leomon! Oh, he's so big! This must be a sign! He's meant to be...my partner!

Weird Kid: Hmm...

Kumbhiramon: You should get out of my way!

Leomon: You should pick on someone your own size. A true warrior battles those who are strong - only a coward fights defenseless little girls.

Jeri: Ahh!

Kumbhiramon: You will pay for your impertinance, warrior!

Jeri: He's amazing!

(LEOMON JUMPS OFF THE RAINBOW)

Jeri: My hero! Mr. Leomon?

Leomon: What is it, kid?

Jeri: You're my partner!

Leomon: I'm your what?

Jeri: I'm honored to be your tamer!

Leomon: Tamer?

Jeri: You have no idea how long I've dreamed about this!

(LEOMON LOOKS AT CALUMON)

Leomon: You wanna clue me in here, pal?

Calumon: I think her brain's gone all funny...

Jeri: Calumon, stay out of this!

Calumon: Well it has...

(JERI GIVES LEOMON THE ‘LOVE’ LOOK)

Jeri: Now where were we...?

Leomon: You're a strange little human. You sure you're ok?

Jeri: I am just fine...

Leomon: Oh-kay... Uh, see ya 'round, kid...

Jeri: Wait, we're supposed to be together!

(SHE RUNS AFTER HIM)

Calumon: Found him!

(RUNS AT FAST SPEED)

Leomon: Huh? Aw, nuts!

(JUMPS FROM THE BUSHES AND RUNS OFF)

Calumon: This game is fun, yeah!

(CALUMON SPOTS LEOMON)

Calumon: He's here-

(LEOMON GRABS CALUMON)

Leomon: Be quiet!

Takato: Calumon!

Calumon: Oh, Guilmon!

Takato: Leomon...

Guilmon: Huh?

(D-POWER)

Takato: Champion level. His bravery is matched by his Fist of the Beast King attack. Hey, picking on Calumon isn't very brave!

Leomon: You just don't understand, kid.

Takato: Well I think I do! Prepare to fight!

Leomon: You've gotta be kidding.

Takato: We can take you, right Guilmon?

Guilmon: Uh...huh?

Takato: C'mon boy, go get'm!

Guilmon: Ok...

Leomon: I don't want to fight you, but it seems you've left me no choice.

Jeri: There you are!

(JERI COMES RUNNING)

Takato: Jeri?

Jeri: I want you both to meet my partner, Mr. Leomon!

Takato: Um, wow, really?

Jeri: Looks like I'm a tamer just like you, pretty neat huh?

Takato: Well I guess congratulations are in order?

Leomon: Now hold on, kid.

Takato: Sir yes sir.

Leomon: All I've been hearing about is partners and tamers. I don't know what those are, but let's just get one thing straight - I'm a lone warrior, that's the way it's always been, and that's the way it's going to stay. Do I make myself clear?

Takato: Yes sir, crystal. But, um...

Leomon: Does that mean Jeri's not your partner, Mr. Leomon?

Leomon: Call me Leomon, and for the last time, I don't know what that means!

Jeri: I'll tell you what it means!

Leomon: Huh?

Jeri: Leomon...

Leomon: Aargh, please stop doing that!

Jeri: Partners are inseperable! Like you and I will be!

Leomon: I don't think so!

(RUNS)

Jeri: But wait, that's just the beginning!

Takato, Guilmon + Calumon: Oh-kay...

Takato: That was fun.

Guilmon: Jeri sure can run fast.

Calumon: Uh-huh.

-------------------------

(TAKATO CALLS HENRY)

Henry (phone): Jeri's a tamer? Are you sure? She's chasing him? Making eyes? Tamers don't do that!

Takato: Wait, I'll ask. Hey, Jeri!

Jeri: Yeah?

Takato: Are you sure he's your partner?

Jeri: Yes!

Takato: How come?

Jeri: 'Cause it's destiny!

Takato: Ok, thanks!

Jeri: You can't escape destiny, Mr. Leomon!

(CONTINUES TO RUN, AND TAKATO GOES BACK TO THE PHONE)

Takato: She says it's destiny.

Henry (phone): That doesn't sound good at all! Hm... Ok, I'll be right there.

Takato: Henry's on his way. I guess I should tell Rika too.

Rika (phone): Jeri? That just isn't possible.

Takato: Wait, I'll ask. Hey, Jeri!

Jeri: Yeah?

Takato: Do you have a digivice?

Jeri: No, I don't!

Takato: That's a negative.

Jeri: Anything else?

Takato: No, that's all!

Jeri: Mr. Leomon, wait up!

Rika: No digivice? She's obviously not a tamer - she's delusional! Oh whatever, I'm coming right down.

Takato: Rika's coming too.

(LEOMON RUNS UP SOME STAIRS)

Takato: Jeri! Are you ok?

Takato: Who or what is that?

Jeri: He's been chasing me! He says he's a Deva!

Takato: A Deva? You're kidding!

Takato: Looks like whoever put him together lost the manual... Kumbhiramon, Deva digimon, Ultimate level. His Deva Clone attack makes him six times the trouble! Deva Clone?

(HENRY AND TERRIERMON COME)

Terriermon: Woah!

Takato: About time!

Henry: This just doesn't make any sense! What's Leomon doing here if he's not Jeri's partner?

Terriermon: I don't know, but I'm not asking him!

Calumon: Leomon's a hero! Leomon's a hero! The Devas don't fight nothing, cos rat-face is a zero! Yay!

Kumbhiramon: You're about to be outnumbered, ya oversized alley cat! Deva Clone!

Leomon: Huh?

(SIX DEVAS APPEAR)

Jeri: Leomon!

Takato: Stay back!

Leomon: There's too many of them!

Takato: Stay here. It's safe.

Jeri: Give it to me!

Takato: Huh?

Jeri: Your digivice!

Takato: Uh...ok.

Jeri: Digi-Modify!

(NO EFFECT ON LEOMON)

Jeri: Digi-Modify!

Jeri: Guess I'm not Leomon's tamer after all...

Takato: Jeri...

Henry: Terriermon! Digi-Modify! Digivolution activate!

Calumon: Here we go!

Weird Kid: Hmm...

Computer Voice: Digivolution.

Terriermon: Terriermon, digivolve to...

Gargomon: Gargomon!

Weird Kid: Haha!

Takato: It's you!

Renamon: I'm going after him!

Rika: Not without me, you're not!

Gargomon: Bunny Pummel!

Leomon: She's crying...

Leomon: This is for you, kid!

Gargomon: Glad to have you with us. Gargo Laser!

Leomon: Fist of the Beast King! My work here is done.

(EVERYONE LOOKS AT LEOMON)

Leomon: I should go before her tears make me stay. Goodbye, Jeri.

Takato: Jeri...

Jeri: Don't... please, just leave me alone!

Henry: I'm sorry, Jeri. Come on, Terriermon.

Terriermon: Moumantai, Jeri, moumantai!

Guilmon: It's so sad, I can't watch!

Takato: Oh Guilmon, wait!

Jeri: I made a fool out of myself... how could I think I was special enough to have a partner of my own?

-------------------------

(HYPNOS LAB)

Dolphin: Hey Tao, would you stop working so hard? You're making the rest of us look bad! Come here, take a look at this.

Janyu: Huh?

Dolphin: Hello, over here!

Janyu: Hey, they're just like the portables we used to have! It's just like old times, huh?

(NARRATOR) Davis: Woah, was that an earthquake? I guess Jeri won't be the only one who's shaken up now! To find out, tune into the next Digimon - Digital Monsters!
