The night sky was beautiful. The stars sparkled, the moon

shone, and a shooting star flew across the sky. Yet with this

breathtaking night, added with the soft, ocean waves washing over

the sandy shore, a particular Digimon sauntered out of the shadows,

sitting depressedly. It was Gomamon, Jyou Kido's Digimon guardian.

The strange thing about Gomamon this night was something the other

DigiDestined and their Digimon worried about. Gomamon had told them

he was okay, not really admitting the truth. He watched the cool

water rush onto his front flippers, raising his spirits by the

tiniest bit. "*Sigh*.. My depression is as high as an ocean is deep,"

Gomamon muttered, lowering his ears to touch the sand. "The only

"Wake up, sleepyhead!" A cheerful voice awoke the young

Bukamon, opening his eyes to spot the face of a Tanemon. "I'm up,

I'm up!" Bukamon sat up. "The others are in the pond. Koromon told

me to wake you up and tell you to come join!" With that, Tanemon

He surfaced, turning to the others. "Say, this is nice! Who found

this place?" Motimon smiled. "I did! I was looking for something to

gather for breakfast, and.. well, stumbled onto the pond!" "Or

shall we say INTO?" Chuckled Yokomon and Tokomon in unison, followed

by the laughing of the other In-Training Digimon and a blushing

Motimon. Suddenly, a near-silent snoring is heard, which silences

the group of friends. "What was that?" Tsunomon asked. "I'll go

find out," Tokomon said, skuttling out of the water and to the clump

of ferns ahead. Pulling a plant aside, Tokomon smiled. "Hey, you

guys! Come look! But be quiet." The others bounded over to see...
