It's so beautiful out here! Tara stretched her arms out, underneath the shade of the umbrella she brought on the trip with a few of her new friends to the beach. The weather out here was just enough to make tourists be tempted to come out here.

It was the last month of summer, and the Digidestined was detained to spend every minute of it for the benefit of fun. After all, they did just save the Digworld from the Digimon Emperor's control, and got Veemon to Golden Armor Digivolve. So safe to say, they definitely need a vacation.

"Hey Tara!" Davis yelled from the water. "Why don't you join me, Cody, and the Digimon in some fun in the sun?"

"As long as you guys put on sunscreen, I'm in!"

She jumped from her spot, and ran to the beach in a flash. "Canonball!" She jumped up with all her strength, and jumped in the cool, refreshing ocean.

The wakes from her dive, made a mini wave which soaked anyone near her from bikini top to swim shorts!

Cody strangled some water out of his hair. "I'm soaked!"

"Ah, don't worry!" Davis gave the younger boy a pat on the back. "We're already in the sea, so we're supposed to get wet sometime!"

The three kids and their Digimon laughed.

"The water is so nice!" Moonmon said.

"That's why we come to the beach during the summer. To cool off, relax, and most importantly, not worry about the Digital World for once!" Yolei exclaimed from the shore.

Cody smiled. "Why don't you come and play with us?"

"No thanks. I'm workin' on my tan."

Tara got an idea. "Okay. If you're not coming in the water, we'll just bring the water to you!"

"What do you mean by- Ahhh!" Yolei was being splashed with water by Tara. "Hey stop it!"

Tara stopped, and laughed.

Yolei on the other hand, was sulking along with a wet Poromon.

"My feathers are all wet!" The fluffball complained.

"Don't worry, " Upamon started. "That's what towels are for!"

Yolei sighed, and marched back to her umbrella.

Davis laughed. "Oh, man! You should've seen the look on her face!"

"I heard that!"

"Be right back. I better go and apologize to Yolei. You know how she is." Tara got out of the water, and ran to her umbrella next to her friends'.

She heard a pinging sound from her bag and unzipped it. After a bit of rummaging, she discovered that her D-Terminal was the cause of the sound. She flipped it open. Inside was a text from Kari that read:

Tara,

You and the others need to come to Colorado right away! TK and I meet a kid with a Digimon who was battling another one. There's trouble. We'll see you there!

-Kari

Oh great. My vacation's ruined. And just when I thought the trouble wouldn't start up again for a couple of weeks, it turned up in a couple of days, she sighed. Davis isn't going to like this.

I was right, Tara glumly thought.

Davis was really pissed off. "Yolei, next time we travel, it'll be by my terms. Not by 'my uncle's travel miles'."

"Sorry, but at least we got a free ride all the way to Colorado." Yolei rolled her eyes.

"Guys, this isn't the time to fight. We've got to get moving. Colorado is only a couple hundred miles away." Cody reasoned.

Now it was Davis' turn to roll his eyes. "Gee that lightens the mood."

"But look on the bright side Davish," Demiveemon said from on top of his partner's head. "At least we're not halfway across the world."

"He does have a good point." Upamon agreed.

"Yolei, I'm tired." Poromon whined.

"What do ya mean you're tired?! I'm the one who's carrying you!"

How long is this gonna last? Tara sadly thought. Just then she saw a truck coming their way. Perfect!

The girl ran up to the side of the road and stuck her thumb out. "Hey! Can you give me and my friends a ride to Colorado?!" She called out.

The truck slowed to a stop. A woman poked the window, and said, "Of course! I was just passing by the state. Hop on board!" She jerked her thumb out back with a smile.

"Thanks!" Tara said. She looked back to the other Digidestined. "Hey guys! I got us a ride to Colorado!"

They all came running up. Within the next minute, Tara, Moonmon, Yolei, Poromon, Davis, Demiveemon, Cody, and Upamon had all boarded to the back of the vehicle.

The truck rumbled off towards its destination, and the Digidestined's.

"Who's that?" Yolei asked. She pointed to a corner of the truck where a blonde kid with a plush toy was sitting.

Davis crawled up to him. "So you got the same idea as we did, right buddy?"

Demiveemon got off Davis' head, and sniffed the stuffed toy.

Davis whacked the blue dragon's head. "DemiVeemon! Sorry, but he's young."

"Davis, there's another Digimon on board!"

"Huh?" The kids all turned their attention to the blonde.

"Does this mean I don't have to act as a stuffed toy anymore, Willis?"

"Terriermon!"
