Snow White and the Seven Dweebs

"Mirror mirror, on the floor, who's the fairest one in the land?" Ranamon hummed.

"You are, of course. Also, I get a nice view from here, and I prefer sausages over tacos, so take that as you will," Mercurymon grinned, as he laid underneath Ranamon's feet.

"Ugh! You pig!" Ranamon jumped and sat in a seat.

"Oh, dear. You know you love it," Mercurymon haughtily said. "Oh no..."

"What? What?!" Ranamon snapped.

"I don't feel too swell," Mercurymon's face began to turn to static.

"What's going on?" Ranamon gasped.

"Apparently, you're no longer the fairest one in the land anymore...," Mercurymon said.

"Ugh, it's that stupid annoying girl! Always upstaging me! First she has to be around in the first place, stealing all my admirers and her annoying, stupid laugh! I hate her!" Ranamon clenched her fists.

"It's not the girl," Mercurymon groaned.

"Then who is it?" Ranamon shook Mercurymon.

"This is the one you're looking for. The one with skin as white as cocaine, hair as dark as an oil spill, and eyes as blue as my new favorite drink at Applebee's. Those dollar drinks are such a good deal. Now please stop asking me questions. I don't feel up to par," Mercurymon groaned.

"You're so weak. I guess I have to do this on my own then! Duskmon! Where are you, honey?" Ranamon pushed Mercurymon to the floor and stomped away.

"This is probably why she's not the fairest one in the land. Not like the other guy seems to be better," Mercurymon scoffed to himself as he laid on the floor.

"Duskmon! Darling!" Ranamon happily skipped over to Duskmon.

"What?" Duskmon had his back turned over to her.

"Oh, I need help with a mission and I thought you'd be the best one to get the job done! You're so strong, and smart, and handsome," Ranamon flirtatiously rested her hands on Duskmon's arms.

"What is it?" Duskmon said, unfazed.

"You see, I need help in eliminating this person in particular," Ranamon pulled out a Polaroid picture.

"Aren't we supposed to get rid of all of them?" Duskmon said matter-of-factly.

"I...yes...but him especially!" Ranamon snapped.

"Any particular reason why he's being singled out? Did Cherubimon say so?" Duskmon said.

"Uh...yes. He did. And he said that he wants proof that you took care of business as well. You know, taking his fractal codes, and so on and so forth," Ranamon said.

"I'm on it," Duskmon withdrew his blade and ran off.

"There. My job is done. Something Mercurymon couldn't do," Ranamon swiped her hands together and walked back to her lavish home to take a well-deserved nap.

"End of the line! Now get out!" A Trailmon opened its doors ejected the Frontier gang out of the caboose.

"Hey, is that any way to treat an expecting mother?" Bokomon raised his little fist in the air.

"Ho boy, don't tell me the weird-looking yellow fellow is the father, cause that's gonna be one ugly baby!" the Trailmon whistled.

"How dare you suggest that I would stoop so low as to settle for this dimwit?" Bokomon gasped.

"Yeah! And all babies are cute!" Neemon said.

"Not true, I've seen some ugly babies," JP remarked.

"Same. Your mom showed me your baby pictures," Takuya grinned.

"Hey! That was rude!" JP whined.

"Ugh, boys...," Zoe groaned.

"Hey, don't lump me in with those dweebs. I'm just here to kick ass and go back home," Koji said.

"Hey, after all we've been through, you're still gonna act like some lone wolf guy? Uh, I don't know who you're trying to impress, Mr. Tough Guy, but we're all done and tired of your act," Zoe put her hands on her hips.

"She's right, you know," Tommy nodded.

"Whatever. I just think we should spending our time getting stuff done instead of throwing a spontaneous 'Whose Line Is It Anyways' episode every five seconds," Koji huffed.

"As much as I agree with you on that, there is a nicer way to say it. Didn't your parents ever teach you tact?" Zoe crossed her arms.

"No. But since you clearly know it all, enlighten me, oh wise one!" Koji said.

"I...ugh, forget it. You're impossible. Let's just get what needs to be done so we can go home," Zoe said.

"Hey Bokomon," Neemon tugged at Bokomon's pink belt.

"What? Be careful, I'm carrying the baby," Bokomon clutched onto the egg strapped to his belly.

"Do you think Koji and Zoe like each other?" Neemon loudly asked.

"You know what? I think so. I believe they are doing what humans call flirting, but they're not very good at it," Bokomon frowned.

"Hey! We do not like each other! And we are not flirting!" Zoe and Koji yelled in unison.

"Aww, look! You guys said the same thing at the same time! If that's not chemistry, I don't know what is!" Takuya heckled.

"Man, I want to be in chemistry with Zoe," JP whined.

"Yeah. Sorry about that. I guess you and her are more like in gym with each other?" Tommy said.

"What's that mean?" JP said.

"I dunno. It doesn't look like you're good at gym, and you're not good at talking to Zoe-"

"Hey, are you saying I'm not good at gym because I'm fat? Because I'm not fat for the record, I'm big-boned! And I can lift things up and put them down!" JP said.

"Candy bars don't count!" Takuya laughed.

"No! I'm talking about weights! I just can't run good...," JP whined.

"Is it because you're fat?" Neemon asked.

"Hey, you have no room to talk! You have a little beer gut-"

"Guys, shut up! I think I heard something!" Koji hissed.

"I think I heard something too...," Zoe nodded in agreement.

"We're in the middle of a forest, it was probably just a deer," Takuya said.

"A deer, in the Digital World? Seriously, Taki? When has anything normal ever happened here? The trains are digimon, how much you want to bet that these trees are digimon too?" JP began to panic.

"Ah, we do have some digimon in the tree species, Cherrymon and Woodmon being some notable examples. But alas, I don't see any of them here. This just looks like your typical, creepy forest," Bokomon said.

"With that creepy, mysterious figure over there dressed in black?" Neemon pointed straight ahead.

"Neemon, don't point. That's rude!" Bokomon said.

"Actually Neemon, we might need you to keep pointing...who knows if it could be one of the-" Takuya reached for his D-Tector.

"Duskmon!" everyone gasped.

"I want you!" Duskmon slowly advanced towards Koji.

"Me? What the hell for?" Koji made a face.

"The master asked specifically for you," Duskmon said.

"Oh no no no no no," Koji shook his finger.

"Everyone, get ready!" Takuya grabbed his D-Tector.

"Ready!" everyone held up their D-Tectors.

"Spirit Evolution, execute!" everyone held their hands up until light-up scan codes appeared, and then smashed their D-Tector against the scan code.

"AHHHHH!" everyone screamed as they transformed into their spirit digimon forms.

"What the hell? Is that what it looks like when you change into a Legendary spirit? Looks painful," Duskmon said.

"It kinda is. But nothing compared to the ass whooping you're getting once we're through with you! Spirit Evolution-fuck! I dropped my D-Tector!" Koji bent over to pick it up but Duskmon grabbed him by the back of his jacket.

"Come again? Where is this 'ass whooping' that you're gonna give me?" Duskmon held Koji up so that he was face-level.

"Hey! Put him down, you big, black jerk!" Tommy, who was now Kumamon, threw snowballs at him.

"Hey Tommy, that's totally racist, but since we're in the Digital World, we'll let this pass!" Takuya said, in his Agunimon form.

"Takuya!" Zoe, who was now Kazemon, gasped.

"Hey, it was a mistake, he didn't know any better!" Takuya said.

"I don't think we should be worried about that right now!" JP, otherwise known as Beetlemon, grunted. "Lightning fist!"

"Go fist yourself!" Duskmon sweeped his hand and reversed the attack so that it struck Beetlemon.

"Oof!" Beetlemon fell to the ground.

"JP! Are you okay?" Kazemon gasped.

"JP? I don't think Duskmon is doing okay...he's freaking me out," Koji winced.

"I can't... I can't... It hurts!" Duskmon released Koji. "I will spare you, but that doesn't mean others will stop trying to hunt you. Lay low and leave," Duskmon said.

"Why'd you let me go?" Koji said.

"Don't ask me any questions. Just consider yourself lucky I didn't go through with it. I'll be the one facing the harsh consequences," Duskmon withdrew his sword and walked away.

"Well...that was weird, but at least you made it out alive!" Takuya said, back in his human, non-Digimon form.

"That was a relief. Since you and Takuya are the only ones with beast spirits, I would be upset if you got killed because that would make Taki our unofficial leader, and let's face it, I think me, Zee, and Tommy are predestined to be on the back burner when we head further on the journey," JP said.

"Come on JP, why would you say something like that? I think we're all important parts of the team!" Zoe said.

"Are we? Are we really? Or are some of us more important than others? Takuya and Koji have red and blue D-Tectors, so automatically, you know they're going to be the strongest ones in the crew. Zoe, you're just the eye candy to keep everyone entertained, I'm the guy everyone can relate to, and Tommy's like the kid brother other kid brothers can relate to. We're just the spares," JP said.

"Aren't you a positive thinker?" Takuya said.

"I'm not a kid brother! I'm an only child!" Tommy protested.

"What are you talking about, Tommy? I thought you had an older brother," Koji made a face.

"I used to...and then I put pictures of naked cartoon baby comics on his phone and bye, bye brother. He's in jail now for a long time," Tommy laughed.

"Oh my God, you're a monster!" Zoe gasped.

"What? I didn't know it was a bad thing until I overheard my parents talking about a neighbor who was arrested for having stashes of naked kid pictures. But he had photographs too. So I took pictures of the naked babies in the Sunday comics and told my parents that Yukata was spending a long time in the bathroom, because that's what my neighbor used to do. I guess naked babies makes you want to poop more-"

"Tommy, quick question. About these comics. You said you got them in the Sunday paper?" JP asked.

"Typical Japan, they have their filth everywhere," Zoe grimaced.

"Hey, we're not a bunch of hentai freaks. And what do you mean 'they'? As far as we know, you live there too, so that makes you one of us, princess," Koji said.

"Out of curiosity, that comic wouldn't be Love Is...is it?" JP asked.

"Yes, that's the one!" Tommy grinned.

"Wow. You really got your brother arrested with an innocent comic strip...wow. I am speechless," Takuya said.

"Then shut up already," Koji said.

"Ugh...," Zoe sighed.

"Oh my, we should probably find shelter soon. It's getting dark," Bokomon rubbed the egg attached to his belly.

"Oh yeah. How? It's not like there's a bed and breakfast in the middle of the forest we could crash for the night at," Koji said.

"What about that hotel?" Neemon pointed at a fancy building.

"Well I'll be damned," JP blinked.

"Guys, even if there is a hotel, we don't have money to stay there," Zoe pointed out.

"You're right...," JP sighed.

"Can we still check it out? We can pretend we're just curious about prices, when I'm actuality, I just want to take a leak in something that isn't a plant for once," Takuya said.

"A toilet seems like a nice thing right now. I miss flushing," Zoe sighed.

"Let's go. Please, before we reminisce more about using a bathroom. Freaking weirdos," Koji groaned.

"Duskmon! Did you finish off that brat for good?" Ranamon ran up to a grumpy Duskmon.

"I took care of it," Duskmon gruffly said.

"Ooh, did you get his fractal codes? His spirit evolutions? Give them to me!" Ranamon excitedly said.

"I don't think they're transferable. Besides, even if they were, I'm too tired to figure it out," Duskmon grunted.

"Ugh, you're no fun. But at least you got rid of the problem! Thank you, honey bun!" Ranamon threw herself onto Duskmon and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"Please don't. That's definitely not necessary, or wanted," Duskmon gently pushed her away and walked off.

"Ugh, what is wrong with everyone here? It's like they're all gay or something. Except for Mercurymon. And even he's gay too, he's just a big perv," Ranamon pouted. "Speaking of which, where is he? I have an important question for him, and I think I'll like the answer."

"If it's the question I think you're going to ask, then I don't think you'll like the answer, dearest. Let's just say Duskmon didn't carry out his duties. For whatever reason is beyond me, but I think he figured out that Cherubimon didn't send the order to just slaughter an individual person, and you know he listens to only Cherubimon. If you want to carry this out, you'll have to execute this one on your own," Mercurymon said.

"Can't you help me out?" Ranamon said.

"I could, but this matter is too petty, even for me. I'd rather lay low until I have a clever enough strategy to eliminate the whole group. You're letting your vanity get the best of you, and if you don't wise up, it'll wreck our mission," Mercurymon said.

"Ugh, it's like you have little faith in me!" Ranamon gritted her teeth together.

"I definitely have little faith in you," Mercurymon said.

"Well I'll show you! I have a plan! Just you watch!" Ranamon shook his finger at him.

"Trust me, I will be watching," Mercurymon smirked.

"This is weird. It doesn't look like anyone is here," Tommy frowned.

"Olly olly olly oxen free! If anyone's here, shout!" Takuya yelled, but was met with silence.

"Huh, maybe no one heard us," JP said.

"Ooh, I know what'll get them bound to hear us!" Takuya said. "Hey, this is a stick up! We're gonna rob you for all you got!"

"Um, if that was the case, I'd probably be as quiet as possible," Zoe said.

"Yeah. Way to go genius," Koji scoffed.

"Well I don't hear you guys coming up with any great ideas," Takuya made a face.

"This sure is a strange situation. Why don't we take a tour around? We have to be bound to run into someone eventually," Bokomon said.

"Good idea," everyone nodded.

"Alright guys, have your D-Tectors on hand. You never know what we may come across," Takuya said.

"Right," everyone said.

"Hey, what a nice picture. It give me weird feelings though!" Neemon pointed to a painting of a sexy Angelmon.

"Oooh, I must say it gives me a weird feeling too. My egg is shaking around a bit. Be still, baby," Bokomon rubbed his egg.

"Can digimon be turned on?" Takuya whispered.

"I don't really want to think about that," JP frowned.

"You gotta admit, that is a steamy picture. I feel kinda gay looking at it," Takuya said.

"Then stop looking at it. Come on, let's keep it moving," Koji walked up the stairs.

"Oh my gosh, come over here! You won't believe this!" Zoe signalled everyone over.

"What is it?" Neemon trudged his way over to her.

"Look!" Zoe pointed inside a room. A banquet was set up with a smorgasbord of food.

"Oh my God, now I'm turned on!" Takuya grinned.

"Hey, let's dig in!" JP walked inside.

"Uh, you guys think it's a good idea to do that? This food doesn't belong to us," Tommy said.

"He's right. Maybe we shouldn't," Zoe paused.

"But maybe we should. Look, it doesn't look like anyone is here...and if we just walk past it, all this food would go to waste. Isn't that wrong too?" Bokomon said.

"He's got a point!" Takuya grabbed a turkey leg and bit into it.

"Well, looks like Takuya made the decision for us, so we might as well all do it," Koji shrugged and piled food up on a plate.

"Since when do you do anything Takuya says?" Neemon asked.

"Yeah! Seriously?" Zoe asked.

"Here's how I see it. Takuya already ate some of the food, and he's in our group, so whoever the food belongs to will be upset at the group as a whole. They won't care who ate what, the only thing that matters to them is that someone ate the food, and we're the outsiders," Koji said.

"He does bring a valid point there," JP said.

"Alright everyone, let's chow down!" Zoe said.

"Oh my God! Maybe it's the fact that we don't eat much food anymore, but this is the best meal I've had in a long time!" Takuya said as he shoved food in his mouth.

"Agreed!" Tommy nodded.

"Wow, with all that food, I can't believe we managed to clear out the whole table. Let's get out of here before anyone catches us," Zoe said.

"Good idea," Bokomon said.

"Where next?" JP asked.

"Hmm, why don't we see if there's a free room for us to stay in? We can try to open the doors and see if there's an empty place," Takuya said.

"That is the dumbest idea ever. Do you expect us to just open any door and to there be an empty...well, I'll be damned," Koji opened a door that led to a room with seven empty beds.

"Hah, dumb idea you said?" Takuya smugly said.

"Great, you got lucky. But what if someone comes in later and wants to reserve this room?" Koji crossed his arms.

"I highly doubt that a group of seven people will show up. And if that does happen, we'll come up with something," Takuya said.

"I'll have to agree with Takuya on this. There's very slim odds that such a large group would be traveling this far. Let's not be too preoccupied," Bokomon said.

"I don't know. If you think about it, this all seems too coincidental now. We've been here for a while now and we still haven't run into anyone. I'm starting to believe this is too good to be true," Zoe said.

"Come on, stop worrying so much. Maybe for once, we just got lucky. Why don't we get washed up and get ready for bed? Tomorrow's another day and we'll be well rested!" Takuya said.

"Okay," Zoe said.

"Takuya, where did you get all those cookies?" Tommy asked.

"They're in the banquet hall. But you're gonna have to get your own. I rubbed my balls over these ones. Gotta claim what's mine!" Takuya said.

"Oh...," Tommy's face fell.

"Alright, now I'm off to take a shower. Peace!" Takuya grabbed a bathrobe and walked out of the room.

"Ooh, cookies!" JP walked into the room, freshly showered.

"No, don't!" Tommy yelled.

"Is it cause I'm fat?" JP picked up a cookie.

"No, it's because Takuya stuffed them in his pants before. He didn't want anyone else eating them!" Tommy said.

"Yikes, thanks for the heads up!" JP grimaced.

"He said there's some more in the banquet hall," Tommy said.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" JP said.

"Rubber duckie...except no rubber duckie because it doesn't look like there's a bathtub here...," Takuya sang to himself. He walked into a bathroom and pulled a shower curtain.

"Ahh! Takuya! You creep!" Zoe pulled the shower curtain closed again.

"Honestly man, did you not learn anything from last time?" Koji peeked his head out from two showers down.

"Hey, how was I supposed to know?" Takuya yelled.

"Um, I think it's safe to assume that if a curtain is closed, that means someone's inside. That's just common sense," Koji stepped out. "Here. Now this one is empty."

"Thanks...," Takuya bashfully said.

"I think I'm done here too. I don't trust being alone with Takuya," Zoe put on her bathrobe and walked out with Koji.

"Hey, don't flatter yourself. You're not that cute. Call me back when your spirit form is naked though," Takuya said.

"Pig!" Zoe yelled.

"I think I'm going to walk around the hotel. It's really suspicious that we haven't run into anyone here yet," Koji said.

"I feel the same way," Zoe nodded as they went back to their room.

"Cool, cookies. I'm gonna take some for the road. You?" Koji held up a cookie.

"I'll pass," Zoe said.

"Suit yourself," Koji stuffed some in his bathrobe pocket.

"Let's start from the bottom floor up. There's gotta be a receptionist by now," Zoe said.

"Alright," Koji shrugged as he took a bite of the cookie. "You know what? Maybe it's me, but these cookies taste odd."

"Maybe our taste buds got overwhelmed with that dinner we had. Or maybe the cookie's just gluten free," Zoe said.

"That could be it," Koji nodded.

"You don't have to keep eating it," Zoe said.

"No. I don't know when the next time we'll be eating will be. I'll eat as much as possible while we still can," Koji said.

"Okay. To each his own," Zoe shrugged, disappointed that even the smartest guy in the bunch could be just as dumb as the rest of them.

"Hey guys! You're exploring the hotel too?" Tommy asked.

"Yeah, we were hoping to see if there was anything suspicious. Maybe we could get some answers," Zoe said.

*knock knock knock*

"Maybe you should take that back. Why would someone be knocking at a hotel door?" Bokomon asked.

"That is true. But what if we're not even staying at a hotel?" JP asked.

"What else could it be?" Zoe huffed.

"Maybe this is a big mansion and we just trespassed into someone's house!" Tommy gasped.

"That would make sense of why there wasn't anyone here," Bokomon said.

*knock knock knock*

"But why would they leave the doors unlocked? Anyone could just walk in," Koji said.

"Maybe they didn't expect anyone to come in. This place is in the middle of a forest," JP said.

"That is true. Stupid, but plausible," Bokomon said.

*knock knock knock*

"Wow, that person is relentless! I could hear them from downstairs! We should just open the door and see what they want," Takuya walked down the stairs and joined everyone else.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? What if they know the people who live here? They're not going to be happy that a bunch of strangers are here," JP said.

*knock knock knock*

"We'll just lie and say we're guests," Takuya said.

"It doesn't look like they're gonna go away," Koji huffed and walked towards the door. "Hey, can we help you?"

"Hello there sugar pies! I hope I'm not disturbing you darling people on such a peaceful night," an old lady-like looking creature stood by the doorway.

"I feel like I've heard that cunt-faced accent from somewhere," Koji frowned.

"Cunt-faced? I thought it was pronounced country," Neemon said.

"It is. Koji is just trying to be clever," Zoe rolled her eyes.

"Hey, it was a good zinger!" Koji hollered. "So weird, old-looking creature, what do you want?" he faced back to the poorly-disguised Ranamon.

"Oh, I was just walking around and I came to deliver some bushels of apples to everyone in the neighborhood! Here, have a basket!" Ranamon handed Koji a basket of apples.

"Uh, thanks?" Koji raised an eyebrow.

"Come on, aren't you gonna have a bite?" Ranamon eagerly said.

"Uh, I think I'll pass. No offense, but have you heard the story of Snow White? I don't know you, and I'm not gonna risk getting poisoned by a stranger's apples. I'm good," Koji held up a cookie and bit into it.

"Why you little brat! You're gonna take a bite of that cookie and you're going to like it!" Ranamon broke out of character and her costume slid off.

"I knew I heard that voice from somewhere!" Koji stuffed the last of the cookie into his mouth.

"Uh, Koji? Where did you get that cookie?" Tommy asked.

"On the table next to Takuya's bed. Why?" Zoe replied.

"Oh...I might have rubbed my balls on them. Right before I took a shower too," Takuya whistled.

"You wha-hkkk?" Koji choked on the cookie and his face turned red.

"Well, well, well, thank you, googlehead. It looks like you've done your job for me. Now I'm the fairest one in the land again! I can go now!" Ranamon kissed Takuya on the cheek.

"Hkk, I... can't...breathe!" Koji wheezed.

"Hey, don't worry! I got you!" Takuya pushed Koji to the floor and stuck his tongue in his mouth.

"Takuya, what the hell are you doing?!" JP gasped.

"I'm trying to get the cookie out of his throat, but my tongue's not long enough!" Takuya yelled.

"That's not how you do it!" JP sat Koji up and started whacking him on the back.

"Oh, let me just say, I really like how you're all finishing the job for me! He looks even worse than before! Hrs definitely a goner now!" Ranamon said with glee.

"Stop it, you idiots, you're gonna kill him!" Zoe cried out. "Give me at it!"

"But you're a girl!" Takuya said.

"So that automatically makes her smarter than all of you," Bokomon said.

"Oh, I see how that is...," Takuya said.

"Come on, Koji! We can do this!" Zoe began doing the Heimlich maneuver.

"Hkk, hkk...hkk...pffft!" Koji coughed up the cookie. "Thanks. You're a lifesaver."

"You're welcome," Zoe said.

"Unbelievable! I should have finished you all off when I had the chance!" Ranamon gritted her teeth together.

*rumble* the building began to shake.

"What's going on?" Tommy asked.

"That's right, Ranamon. You should have finished them all of when you had the chance. But no. You were more concerned about being Miss Universe," Mercurymon walked down the stairs. He snapped his fingers and the building disappeared.

"What the hell? What happened to the hotel?" Takuya asked.

"It was all an illusion. Everything, the building, the beds, the rooms, right down to the food. That's right. You basically choked on air, Snow White," Mercurymon smirked at Koji. "And since you have no energy to spirit evolve, I can wipe you all out!"

"Hey, that's not fair! How dare you upstage me, Mercurymon?! Whipping waves!" Ranamon growled.

"Be gone, Squidward!" Mercurymon reflected the attack back on her and shot her into the air. "Now the rest of you, we can make this hard, or we can make this difficult. Your choice, but I'd prefer the easy route."

"Oh no! My stomach is rumbling!" Bokomon groaned.

"Hey, shut up!" Mercurymon said.

"I can't help it! I'm carrying a child, this is cruel punishment to keep an expectant mother from eating! Ohhh, the pain!" Bokomon whined.

"I think you're hatching!" Neemon gasped.

"Ugh, this is disgusting! Stop this right now!" Mercurymon said.

"I can't help it! Ohhh, ohhh!" Bokomon screamed.

*crack* *poof*

"Hi! I'm Patamon!" a cute, hamster-looking digimon appeared.

"What the hell is that?!" Mercurymon grimaced.

"I'm Patamon!" Patamon happily said. "Boom bubble! Boom bubble! Boom bubble!"

"Uhhh... I don't think Patamon knows how to control its powers yet," JP said.

"How cute. You think you can defeat me with your little bubbles? Well think again!" Mercurymon began to shoot the attack back but Takuya jumped in front with a large mirror in hand.

*crack*

"Ahhh! I'm chipped! I don't have time for this tonight. But trust me, I'll come back for you at a later date, and when I do, you won't know what hit you. Trust me on that," Mercurymon snarled and disappeared.

"Wow Takuya, that was quick thinking!" Zoe said.

"Thanks! I just figured if we couldn't fight the guy with our spirit evolutions, why not fight a mirror with a mirror?" Takuya said.

"That was probably the best idea you had all night," Koji said.

"Yeah. Definitely beats him French kissing you," JP said.

"Let's not talk about that," Koji grunted.

"Hey Koji, was that your first kiss?" Tommy asked.

"I'm not going to reply to that," Koji pressed his lips together.

"I think that's a yes," Neemon nodded.

"Can it, mutant Pikachu," Koji said.

"Yeah, why don't we just continue on?" Zoe said.

"That sounds like a great idea- whoa! What the hell?" Koji leaned against a tree, but almost fell back.

"What?" everyone looked at him.

"Call me crazy, but this tree almost felt holographic. I almost fell into it!" Koji said.

"Whoa! Check it! I can stick my hand in it," Takuya said. "I wonder what would happen if I stuck my head inside."

"I really hate this place. I can't wait to go home...," Koji muttered as everyone took turns jumping in and out of the holographic trees.

The End!
