In one dimension, in the days of Feudal Japan, a young samurai lived in the land of Kai as part of the Takada Clan. His name was Amari Nobunaga.

He had just returned from a long and dangerous mission, battling an evil toad demon that had possessed the husband of their former Princess Tsuyu, whom lived in the land of Wasashi.

Word was spread that he had helped saved the Princess, her husband, and so many other women from the village, and for that, he was hailed as a hero and given thanks.

The village elder awarded him a special katana as a rewarding gesture. “You have done outstanding to aid those in need,” he said “And you have spared our neighboring land from a horrible fate. For this, we honor you, Nobunaga.”

The village people cheered as Nobunaga accepted his new sword, “Thank you.” he simply said, and the elder noticed how down-hearted he seemed. “Is something the matter?”

Nobonaga did not wish to explain anything, as he was feeling very sore deep down about something else that happened to him, but he didn’t want anyone else to worry of him over it.

“I assure you, I will be fine.” He said to the elder, and then he turned round and began to walk off. “Um… Nobunaga!” the elder tried to warn him, but the next thing he saw was Nobunaga walk clumsily off the edge of the platform instead of going down the stairs, and he crashed on the ground hard.

Many of the village people couldn’t help but laugh at him, while a cute little monkey, Nobunaga’s pet, Hyoshimaru, danced playfully on his master’s back.

Nobunaga felt in disgrace.

In another dimension, in a more modern day of Japan, it had been four years since the defeat of the evil Digimon, Maylo-Myotismon, and the Digi Destined were all seniors in high school, except for Cody who was on his first year.

Davis Motomiya, captain of the high-school soccer team had come into his home-room class.

While up ahead, around the corner, three girls were standing, one of them was very nervous and blushing like crazy. “He’s coming!” she whimpered.

Her two friends pressured her to move out there where Davis could see her.

“Come on, you’ll never get your chance if you don’t ask him.”

“Just come out and tell him.”

The nervous girl twiddled her fingers, stammering madly, but suddenly her friends gave her a huge shove just as Davis came up to the bend.

Davis stopped, “Whoa there!”

The girl suddenly looked up at him, “Um… Davis…”

Davis and looked at her, and the girl nearly froze dead still, but she took in a deep breath and managed to say her feelings, “I know you may not know much about me, but I know much about you, and really I think you’re the most amazing guy in the whole school. Please go out with me! I promise I won’t be bad to you!”

Davis thought that a little sweet, but he shook his head, “I can’t. There’s someone else I want to go out with and I’ve feelings for her for a long time. Sorry, but you and I just can’t be.”

Then he walked off leaving the girl feeling crushed and embarrassed. She fell to her knees and sobbed into her hands. Her friends came over and comforted her, unable to believe that Davis had just shot her down like that, even if he had his reasons.

Davis walked down the hall, and there at the end was Kari, standing at her locker and brushing her short brown hair.

Davis felt inside his pocket, at two tickets for a theater show that was playing in town that night. One that he knew Kari had been dying to see and he thought he’d ask her to go with him… as a date.

He had camped out all night and saved up for weeks from his Paper Route he got to help him pay for college.

He really hoped she would agree to go with him, because he really wanted to go out with her, and show his true feelings for her.

“Hi, Kari…”

“Hey, Davis; what’s up?”

Davis hesitated a bit, and finally he showed her the tickets.

“Whoa!” Kari exclaimed “Tickets to see the new musical that’s performing? How did you get these?”

“Camped out, saved up. It wasn’t easy.” said Davis, and before he could say another thing, Kari said right to him, “Maybe I’ll see you there tonight.” And she pulled out her own ticket, “I’m going with TK tonight.”

Davis felt his insides beginning to grow cold, “You are?”

“Yeah, we’ve been going out for a month now, didn’t you know?”

His insides felt colder still, but he tried not to let it show, “Um, no… no one told me. That’s cool.”

But Kari could read him like a book and gave him a smug look, “You’re not jealous, are you?”

“Me, um… Nah… It’s okay.”

TK then came along, “Hey you…” he said to Kari.

“Hi…” Kari cooed at him, and she kissed him on the cheek, which made Davis’ insides go crazy, like he wanted to throw a huge fit.

He then hallucinated of TK looking at him with a nasty glare, “Ha! She’s mine now! You lost this battle long ago anyway!”

He blinked his eyes hard, “What?” he suddenly said.

“I asked whose your extra ticket for?” said TK.

“Oh, um… well…” Davis stammered, still trying to hide his burning jealousy, but he got saved by the school bell ringing for class, “Gotta go… see ya!” then he dashed off.

Kari and TK were not fooled,“He jealous.”They both said to each other. Kari couldn’t help but giggle, “Sorry, I can’t help it. He’s so cute when he tries to cover it up and act like the big man.”

TK didn’t really think that was too funny, but he walked his girlfriend to class.

On the way, they spotted the three girls from the hall, and one of them was still weeping in her hands as he friends comforted her.

“What’s happened?” TK asked, trying to be a gentleman.

One of the friends answered, “She tried to ask Davis Motomyia out and he turned her down.”

Kari felt sad for the girl, and surprised at Davis, but not really all that… “He’s still got it for me.” she said.

TK sighed, “I’m surprised he didn’t hear about us going out. You told him, didn’t you?”

“I thought you did?”

The two finally realized their mistake, but there wasn’t much that could be done about that. “Well, he knows now.” TK said “Besides, I’m sure he’ll be fine. There are tons of girls who like him.”

Kari knew this as well. Ever the defeat of Maylo-Myotismon and their other enemies, Davis became well known as one of the most celebrated of the Digi-Destined. He never backed down, always remained courageous and helped everyone to victory many, many times.

Many girls developed crushes on him, like that girl who was crying.

This sparked some concern with Kari, “A guy like Davis would be leaping at a whole bunch of girls going after him like this.”

“Give him time.” said TK “He was probably still hoping to ask you out, but now he knows, and I’m sure it’ll make it that much easier for him.”

Around another corner, Davis rested his back against the cold walls, and pounded it softly with the back of his fist.“I can’t believe it!”he groaned in thought to himself“They were dating for a whole month and never told me!

Why didn’t I ask her out when I had the chance?”

He was suddenly snapped out of his trance when Ken and Yolei came up to him.

“Davis, are you okay?” asked Ken.

“Oh, hey, guys.” Davis said, but his face remained as upset and as near-spiritless. Then, in either an act of kindness or rather upset, he gave his friends his two tickets that he fought so hard for. “Here, you can have these.”

Yolei’s eyes sparkled at the sight of them, “I’ve wanted to go see this musical for a month now, but the tickets were always sold out.”

Ken thought this a nice thing, “But Davis… I thought you…”

“Nah, you two go ahead. I’m busy tonight anyway.” Davis said to them, and he quickly ran off, not wanting to discuss it further.

Yolei and Ken, who had been dating for about a year now started to have a sickening feeling, “Do you think he knows now?” asked Ken.

Yolei nodded sadly, and began to worry about Davis. She knew how much he wanted to be with Kari, as his feelings really developed over the past few years, but TK beat him to the goal.

She and Ken knew all along and couldn’t bring themselves to tell them, not knowing how and wanting to try and spare his feelings.

“I think we should have told him from the start.” said Ken.

His girlfriend agreed, but she hoped that Davis wouldn’t take it too hard.

In yet another dimension, The Teen Titans-- Robin, Starfire, Cyborg and Raven, had the shape-shifting robot cornered at the Jump City Recycling Plant.

Robin charged forth with his staff ready, but the robot punched him hard and sent him sailing onto a mound of plastic bottles.

“Robin!” Starfire cried, and her eyes flared up with green light, “You will suffer for harming my boyfriend!” and she charged at the monster firing her star-bolts like crazy.

The robot quickly absorbed the solid plating of the floor to shield itself from the blasts.

Starfire then collided into the robot trying to wrestle it with her alien strength, and Cyborg dashed over to help her, but the robot easily batted them both off with its strength absorbed formt he floor.

Raven then used her power to clasp two loads of tin cans, molding them into two huge solid balls and flung them at the robot actually knocking it over and cracking its shielding.

Raven then tried to use her power to trap the robot within a dark barrier against the wall, but the robot quickly absorbed itself into the wall itself and slunk around.

“A’rgh!” Raven growled.

“Spread out and try and find it!” said Robin.

The Titans all spread out and kept their eyes peeled and ready for anything, but they couldn’t tell just where the creature was hiding. Cyborg tried to scan for it with his wrist-com, “It’s no good, I don’t know whether to scan for marble, metal, plastic, or anything.”

Raven couldn’t make psychic-contact with the robot, since she didn’t know where to even look for it. “I hate to say this, but I really wish Beast Boy were here to sniff it out.”

“I already called for him. He’s on his way.”

“He is still obsessing with the girl he believes to be Terra?” asked Starfire. “We can deal with that later.” said Robin “Right now we have to find that robot. Don’t let it escape!”

Suddenly, the ground burst up right near him, and the robot appeared, having absorbed the platting material, as well as bits of electricity from the wires beneath the floor, giving itself an electrical current that it could use as a weapon.

The robot grabbed Robin in its huge arms, shocking him hard with the electric.

“ROBIN!!” cried Starfire.

“Let him go!” demanded Cyborg, and he fired his sonic-cannon at the robot, but the blast hardly fazed it and just made the electric-current stronger, hurting Robin even more.

Robin screamed in pain as the current began to burn at him, but just as things were about to get really bad, there was a loud roar coming from the big doors, and a green T-Rex stomped its way for the robot, head-bashing it hard, without taking any damage from the currents.

Robin was dropped on the floor as the robot flew way over into a tank of recycled water, shorting out the electricity and damaging the robot severely.

Robin wasn’t too badly hurt, but a little jolted, and his hair stood up filled with static to the touch. “Beast Boy…”

Beast Boy changed into his human form.

“About time you got here! What’s with you?!” scolded Cyborg.

Beast Boy didn’t answer or even look at him. He just stood there stiff with a rather mixed expression of anger and sadness.

Suddenly, the robot leapt out from the tank, still able to fight and shape-shift as it went down into the floor. “Beast Boy, smell out for it.”

Beast Boy complied and changed into a blood-hound. He sniffed along the floor and then growled at a wall!

“Titans, attack!” shouted robin, and the robot was unable to slink off this time.

Robin threw his disc-bombs, Starfire unleashed a barrage of star-bolts, and Cyborg blasted at the wall with his cannon, forcing the damaged robot to emerge. Raven then caught it in her dark waves and wrapped it up in a complete dark bubble so it wouldn’t be able to escape!

Soon the police arrived to take the robot to a special high-tech prison.

“We have finally done it.” said Starfire “We have beaten the… the… um… shape-shifter.”

“Yeah, but just barely…” Robin said as he turned to face Beast Boy. “Beast Boy, where were you today. We needed you very badly, and you almost didn’t make it in team. That’s no way to show loyalty to your team.”

He stopped when he noticed Beast Boy just standing there, and the only expression on his face was spiritless, and his eyes were half open, almost as if he hadn’t heard Robin.

“Friend, are you okay?” asked Starfire “Did something happen with you and the girl you believe to be Terra.”

“I just don’t want to talk about it...” Beast Boy finally said, telling the titans that something did go bad.

“Look…” Robin said “I don’t know if this girl is Terra or not, but you can’t keep letting this obsession get to you. You’re going to have to move on eventually. You have a duty to your team and to this city.”

Beast boy shut his eyes really tight trying to supress the thriving pain inside of him.

“Let’s go home.” said Cyborg.

The Titans all agreed and walked right past Beast Boy, and Raven took a moment and slapped him right upside the head.

“Dude…! What was that for!” he snapped.

“To help you snap out of this.” Raven said, and then she flew off, leaving him feeling sore as he rubbed his head, but still very upset, not just at his friends for the way they had just treated him, but because of those horrible events that day that still plagued him.

His dear friend, the girl he loved, insisted she forget him, no longer wanting anything to do with him or the Titans and wishes to peruse a normal life to forget her past and live in peace.

“Things Change, Beast Boy. The girl you want me to be is just a memory.”

Those horrible words kept echoing in his mind, but he knew the sensible thing would be to respect her wishes; let her go and live her own life in her own way so she could be happy.

…but it was causing him much inner grief and pain he couldn’t seem to supress, because this was so much more than just being dumped by a girl he loved… something much, much worse!

“Beast Boy…!” Robin called to him rather impatiently “Come on…!”

He didn’t like the tone in Robin’s voice and how pushy he was being, but he decided to comply before things got any worse and went back to the tower.

As if that weren’t enough, in one another dimension… The world of Equestria!

Princess Twilight Sparkle was most excited about the Grand Galloping Gala. “This is going to be so exciting.” She cheered as she jumped for joy with her invitation.

“You think you’re excited…” said Starlight Glimmer “I am REALLY excited. This is my first time ever going to the gala. I can’t believe Princess Celestia actually invited me.”

Twilight was so proud of her, but suddenly, the doors burst wide open, and there was Spike looking a little droopy, and in his claw he clutched a keeled and withered flower.

He walked past the two ponies miserably and then began to banging his head against the wall going “Why! Why! Why! Why!”

The ponies felt they knew what was wrong.

“Rarity rejected you?” asked Starlight.

Spike only sighed heavily as he recounted the events from moments ago.

With the Grand Galloping Gala coming, Spike decided that this year he would ask Rarity to be his date, and with good reason: He had been doing a lot of thinking; his feelings for Rarity only seemed to grow and grow over the years, and now he didn’t wish to fight it anymore. Though he was a baby considered to dragons, from the ponies’ ways, he was pretty much as old as they were, maybe just younger by no more than five whole years.

He thought perhaps, he and Rarity could… give it a try; start dating to really see if they could work out together, and given Rarity’s hard history of putting up with stallions whom she liked, but turned out to be disgraceful, or simply did not reciprocate her feelings back… what did she have to lose by saying No?

Spike got up his courage, and he spent the morning helping Rarity, knowing how busy it was for her to make gowns and fancy outfits for the ball, when he finally confessed to her…

“Rarity… you know I like you, right?”

She giggled,“Oh, Spike, I’ve always known. You know that. Oh, but you are just the sweetest when you are acting shy.

Why do you ask?”

He hesitated, and sweated bullets, but he finally managed to show her the expensive flower that he bought, which cost him his entire stash of gems he had been saving.

“Rarity, will you be my date to the Grand Galloping Gala?”

Rarity was surprised, and blinked once deeply,“Spike…”

“Look, I know this sounds awkward, but I have to try. Rarity, you know I’m crazy about you, and… do you think maybe… we could… really try and go at it; I mean… on a real date?”

At first Rarity didn’t know what to say,“Oh, Spike… I’m… really flattered.”

He thought this was a good sign and his eyes lit up with hope.

“However…”

Uh-oh! That one word already froze him on the inside with fear…

“…I’m afraid I cannot accept.”

Spike could feel tears coming,“But… why?”he asked trying to hide his disappointment“Don’t you like me?”

“Oh, yes… I like you very much, and you are very sweet… but what I imply is, I like you as a sweet friend. You mean much to me, Spike, but… well, I’m afraid I just do not see us dating.”

The flower wilted in Spike’s grip“I see…”

“I’m so sorry to disappoint you.”

“Nah, nah… it’s fine, really.

Um… I need to get back and help Twilight, okay?”

Then he just ran off.

Spike continued to bang his head going, “Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot…!”

Twilight held him with her magic to stop him giving himself brain damage. “I’m sorry, Spike.” she said to him, “I know it’s disappointing.”

Starlight agreed, and didn’t sympathize with Rarity’s rejecting him, “She knows you like her, and then just rejects you? What’s with that?”

“It’s okay…” said Spike “She wants to be just friends; I guess I can accept that.” He then felt very tired and decided to take a nap, while Twilight and Starlight felt sorry for him, but proud that he was at least trying to get over it.

“Think maybe we should go talk with Rarity?” asked Starlight.

“I don’t know…” said Twilight “I mean, I don’t think it’s all that nice to reject someone who poured their heart out, but if Rarity made her decision, and Spike accepted, I guess there’s no real need to interfere.”

Starlight was not so sure.
