It was December the 31st, and the night was cold. So cold that the kids and their Digimon counterparts were sitting as close to the campfire as they could, without getting burned, that is. Tai was telling the group about one of his experiences in soccer, while Izzy typed away at his computer, not paying a bit of attention to the conversation. "Man, I didn't even see the ball coming, and wham! I was out for an hour, the coach said. Needless to say, the team elected someone else as goalie." Everyone got a chuckle out of that one. Suddenly Izzy realized something, the date on his computer's monitor said 12/31/99 and the time 11:35 p.m.

"Do you guys realize that it's New Years Eve?" he asked.

"Hey,that's right." exclaimed Sora, "What time is it?"

"11:36p.m. digital standard time." informed Joe.

"Do I get to stay up until midnight, Matt?" asked T.K.

"Okay, but then it's off to bed with you." said Matt.

"Ooh, and we don't have anything to toast in the New Year with." complained Mimi.

"What's a New Year, Joe?"

"Huh, oh, it's the beginning of another twelve months, Gomamon."

"What's a month?" Gabumon said to his fellow Digimon.

"Good question.'' said Tentomon.

"A month is 30 days." said Tai, "or 28 days or 31 days, depending on the month and year." explained Tai.

"That explination sure is confusing Tai." exclaimed Agumon.

"Say, I have a question," said Izzy, "are Digimon Y2K compliant?"

"What is Y to K compliant?" queried Palmon.

"It's year 2000 compliant." said Matt, "a lot of people were stressing about it back home."

"When 2000 rolls around, we'll learn whether digivices are compliant," said Izzy.

"In fact, we'll find out if the entire digital world is compliant."

"I hope so." said Agumon. The group watched the computer clock until it reached 11:58 p.m.

"Well, the moment of truth is about to arrive." said Izzy. "11:59 and 58 seconds, 59, 12:00!!!"

Suddenly the digivices went wild, and started sparking, and the digital world went from light to dark to light to dark again. As suddenly as it had begun, it stopped.

"That was wierd!" said Mimi.

"You said it." agreed Tai.

The next morning, everyone was searching for something to eat, and T.K. noticed something different about Patomon. "Gee, that's a nice coat you've got this morning, Patomon."

"Why, what's different about it?" asked the Digimon.

"It's green, and you've got purple ears."

"WHAT?!" Patomon looked into a pool of water.

"Oh no, Digimon aren't Y2K compliant!!!" Patomon yelled.

"Say Agumon, why, you're yellow with blue stripes on a white back!" Tai gasped.

"Nooo!!" Agumon seemed blown away by this information.

"Hmm, I seem to be pink." observed Tentomon.

"And I'm orange!!!" cried Palmon.

"Sora, I'm half orange and half white."

"Poor Biyo!" exclaimed Sora . "Matt, I'm red and gray!" said Gabumon with no small amount of concern.

"Joe, I don't look too good. I'm orange with green spots all over my body!" Gomamon exclaimed. Joe looked over at Gomamon and a look of shock was on his face. This didn't make Gomamon feel any better.

"Uhm, I'm sure I can figure this out in time," said Izzy "hopefully."

"Get to work!" Tai commanded.

"Right!" said Izzy.

"Well, anyway, they'll be ready for next Halloween." commented Joe.

"Yeah, great one Joe." said Matt.

"You can figure it out, can't you Izzy?" pleaded Mimi.

"One word, Mimi, no." said Izzy.

"WHAAA!!!???" fumed the Digimon in unison.

"Ha, looks like the joke's on you guys!" yelled Tai.

"We got you good!" laughed T.K.

"T.K. what do you mean?" demanded Patomon.

"It's amazing the sorts of colors you can get out of the plants around here." said Matt.

"Tee hee, it sure is!" giggled Mimi.

"You Digimon were so worried about Y2K we played a little joke on you." said Joe.

"So we made paints from plants using directions Izzy gave us." Sora was enjoying this prank too.

"Argh! You want paint? We'll give you paint." said Agumon scooping up a clawfull of dirt.

"Rrr, poison ivy!" palmon shook a tree with her vines and some squishy fruit fell out of it. All digimon grabbed whatever would splatter in a different color.

"Uh, c'mon you guys, we were just joking." said Tai.

"Hit the ditch!" yelled Izzy.

"Head for the hills!" cried Matt. The kids took off as fast as they could go.

"Wait for me!" screamed Mimi. The Digimon took off in hot persuit. Splat! Splorp!

"Lookout guys!" yelled Tai, as fruit and mud exploded around him."

"Arh, you and your bright ideas!" yelled Joe as a banana-like fruit bounced off his head.

"Just keep running!" warned Sora. Needless to say, there was a fruit battle the likes of which digiworld won't be seeing again for some time.
