[There is some slight static before the video starts. Donnie is currently pacing through his room, his hand on his forehead and there was a frustrated expression on his face. Kamemon is sitting nearby, watching his partner pace with a rare worried look.]

Come on Donnie, it's not that big a deal. No one knows what's going on.

Yeah, and that's the problem! I don't understand any of this! Digital Field? Invasion? This Taichi guy missing? I... I just don;t get any of this! [He sits on the bed and groans in frustration] I don;t get what's happening, not at all...

[If there was one thing that Donnie couldn't stand, it was not understanding anything. He wasn't afraid of fighting, he could handle that, and he would do whatever it took to defend innocent people and Digimon. But he didn't understand who or what this enemy was, about what was coming. It frustrated him.]

Look Donnie, I know that your frustrated, but... But like I said, no one knows happening. You can;t stay down in the dumps, only wimps do that. Quit beating yourself up over this, it'll be fine.

I guess... [Sighs[ I really wish my brothers were here... Or Sensei... or April... I need them...

[Kamemon looked to the ground, sadness in his brown eyes. Donnie still wasn't accepting his comfort. He was trying so hard to get the former turtle to accept him, but he guessed that he was just an annoyance to him. The feed shows the two staring at the ground before cutting off.]

Y-yes, I'm...I'm fine. [A slight pause.] Are...you all right?

Umm... Y-yeah, I'm fine... Just fine...

Ah-ha, because beating yourself up while frustrated because you can't understand what's going on is a clear sign that your okay.

Hey, nobody asked you!

[She sighs softly.] D-Donnie...y-you know...no one really knows what's going on. B-but...worrying yourself over it...doesn't really help...

[She would certainly know.]

[Sighs[] I know, I just... I just can't help it. Whenever I don't understand something, it never quits bugging me, and I don't know enough to figure it out myself.

I'd normally build something until I didn't feel frustrated anymore, but I don't have anything to work with here... I just hate being confused...

[Donnie was used to knowing everything and being able to figure out anything. Not understanding something was foreign to him, so he wasn't handling it well.]

[She's silent for a moment as she listens. Then, very hesitantly.] I-isn't...that a good reason to do something, though? I-if...if you don't know something...you're never going to figure it out if you just...sit and worry.

If you really want to...understand it...you have to try to learn more about it...right?

[Fluttershy's words caused Donnie to look straight at her. She had a point, and he knew that she was right. By now, he'd be in his lab, working to find out whatever he could about the enemy, about what was happening. He'd be doing anything that was in his power to unlock the answers that he seeked.

He didn't have the resources that he needed in this world, but if there was one thing that Donatello was, it was stubborn.]

Yeah... Your right... I can't just sit here and mope to myself. I'll figure this out, I don't know how, but I will.

[At that, she manages a small smile.] A-and...y-you know...you don't have to do it alone. E-everyone else...we're all trying to figure out what's going on...and understand what's happening. So you'll always have help...when you need it.

yeah, what she said!

[Donnie ponders over his friend's words before finally a small smile crosses his face]

Thanks Fluttershy, I needed to hear that.

[She nods.] I'm...happy to help.
