We always seem to get in trouble by cliffs. This time we were at the top and really big reptile-like digimon came up sort of beside us. We ran away from the edge of the cliff as Tentomon kindly told us not to worry because the digimon, a Monochromon is a laid back digimon, though it does get a little miffed when it's hungry. Well, this one looked like it was starving, and we were for lunch.

Something roared behind us. We turned around. There was another Monochromon, it looked just as hungry.

"We're stuck between a rock and two sets of teeth!"

'Don't forget the cliff.' I thought.

So logically, we did the smart thing and darted behind the rock as the Monochromon started to fight. Tai was smart enough to figure out that they didn't need us watching them fight over territory – according to Tentomon – and took off with everyone hot on his heels. I almost tripped over Matt when he suddenly stopped to help up TK when he tripped.

Eventually everyone slowed to a walk. There were dozens of random road signs in the forest, pointing in every direction and standing wonky.

"I don't walk this much unless I'm at a mall." Mimi whined, "And as you can see, we're nowhere near one." Mimi stopped walked and leaned against a tree.

"Mimi stop whining." Tai said as he walked past.

"No, my feet hurt."

"Maybe if you take off your boots and socks you'd feel better Mimi." Agumon suggested, "It's much more practical I think."

"I'm not walking in dirt in my bare feet."

"I love the feel of dirt beneath my feet, especially between my toes." Palmon said.

"Gross!"

I bent down and picked up a handful of dirt. Well, if she doesn't like dirt… I was about to hurl the clump of dirt at her when someone grabbed my arm, stopping me. I looked around innocently at Matt.

He dropped my arm and said, "That's just a bit too mean."

I stuck out my tongue at him, "Your no fun."

"It appears we may be losing our light source." Izzy said.

"Oh, clap clap, Izzy. The sun's setting."

"What a weird sunset." Sora said, ignoring me.

"This whole island is weird, and who knows what will come out at night."

"Oohh, could be, dun dun dun, the boogeyman! Mwahaha." Okay yeah, I admit, I was in a really annoying mood.

"Logically speaking, Megan there is no such thing as the boogeyman." Izzy replied.

"Oh god." I said rolling my eyes and walking away.

"Wait I detect water, wait here while I check it out." Tentomon said as he flew up above the canopy. "Yes, as usual I'm right. It's a lake with fresh, clean water and a variety of tasty fish. It's a perfect campsite."

"Maybe, I can finally soak more poor achy feet." Mimi said

"Yeah, and you could get pulled into the water by a sea monster and it would eat you up. Good riddance I say." I murmured.

"Yay! We get to swim!" Gomamon bounded forward and fell flat on his face when Joe grabbed his tail.

"Gomamon, you better wait and make sure it's safe first!"

"That's why I think we should keep walking and stop all the complaining." Matt growled.

I looked pointedly at Mimi.

"What? Don't look at me."

"Everyone's hungry, we have to find some food." Tai pointed out.

"That's a good plan. I like that plan a lot." Joe said.

"And that's why we are going to the lake, now move it!" I ordered.

"Geez, someone got up on the wrong side of the bed." Tai whispered.

I ignored him, and carried on walking. Eventually we got to the lake that Tentomon saw.

"It should be safe to rest here tonight."

"Yeah, I love camping outside." Sora agreed.

"If I won't walk in dirt, what makes you think I'll sleep in it?"

"Mimi, do you see a hotel here?" Tai asked.

"No, so just shut up." I said.

Mimi gasped and pointed behind us. I turned around. There was a trailer bus thing, which had suddenly just turned all the lights on.

"What's that?"

"It looks like a trolley car." TK answered.

"That's odd, the lights just came on." Izzy said.

"Oohh, it's the boogey monster, coming to get you!"

"Oh be quiet, Megan. Unless you've got something useful to say don't say anything." Tai said.

I was about to reply when Coronamon whispered "no" to me. I slowly looked down at him before glaring at Tai and letting it go.

"Maybe there's people in it." Sora suggested.

"Let's check it out!" Tai and Agumon ran towards the trolley car.

"One day, they're going to run into something and get their head knocked off." I murmured.

"That would hurt." Coronamon replied.

"That's the whole idea."

We all followed Tai to the trolley car, just like a flock of sheep again.

"Bummer it's empty." Tai said as he jumped inside.

"Totally empty." agreed Sora.

"No trolley car's this clean." Izzy said while inspecting the floor.

"Well, obviously this one is."

Mimi sat on the seat and almost started bouncing up and down, "Oh, goody these cushions are comfy."

"Something's wrong." Tai said, "Remember those weird phone booths we saw earlier on the beach? Something just as freaky could happen here."

"Yeah, like this suddenly moving all by itself." Joe suggested.

"Possibly, but maybe, that's how we're going to get home."

"So, we have nothing to lose by staying here." Sora leaned back on the seat.

"Oh, can we eat now." Tentomon moaned.

"That's right, I forgot." Tai said.

"Geez, how could you forget about food?" I asked, walking off the trolley car.

Izzy and TK went to catch fish while everyone else went to find wood and food.

I followed Coronamon into the forest to find some fruit and berries. I climbed the trees to get bananas and other fruits while Coronamon walked along the ground picking the lower down fruit and berries.

By the time we got back with two tops full of food – I did still have a top on, it was a singlet though – the others had caught plenty of fish and started a fire.

I picked up a fish and skillfully filleted it, though there wasn't much meat on them.

"These could taste good." Coronamon handed me some small yellow fruits, much like a lemon.

"Could taste good?" I asked as I cut them in half and decided to try some.

Cautiously I licked it, it tasted like a lemon as well, though not as sour. Happy with the taste I squeezed the juice onto the fillets before skewering them and holding them over the fire.

Once they were cooked, I sat down and leaned against a tree. They actually tasted pretty good for a hash job.

Tai walked over to Sora, who was washing something in the lake. And me being nosy and all, started eavesdropping. I turned my head slightly so I could hear what they were saying clearer.

"Hey Sora."

"What?"

"Matt doesn't treat TK like a brother, only like he's a bother. Is it just me? Or have you noticed that too?"

"Yeah."

"I wonder-"

"Matt's still learning to be a big brother."

"Maybe. And did you notice how Megan never has anything nice to say. She's either rude or sarcastic."

"Yeah, who knows what's with that girl."

I almost choked on the bit of fish I was eating. Either rude or sarcastic, well, I suppose that could sum me up. Of course, they don't know the half of it. Don't judge a book by its cover right? Even though its cover may be a pretty good representation of the book sometimes.

Patamon let out a big yawn, "Look, Patamon's tired." TK pointed out.

"I'm getting cold; I need a warm blanket to help me sleep." Mimi whined.

I looked up, 'isn't there anything she doesn't complain about.'

Tai crept up behind Gabumon, "Hey, Gabumon, watch it, Mimi may sneak up on you and steal your fur, so if you feel a tug, it might her, about to cut your tail off."

"Stop, Tai, that's not funny." Gabumon said as he pulled away from Tai.

Matt jumped over and shoved Tai "Quit it!"

"What are you bugging about?!"

"Gabumon told you to stop so knock it off!"

"Hey! You can't tell me what to do!"

I perked up a bit, this was interesting. Both boys grabbed each others tops and looked like they were about to use fists.

But before it turned into a real fight TK cried, "Guys, stop fighting!"

Tai and Matt let go of each other and turned around with their arms crossed and noses in the air like a pair of stuck up brats.

Joe walked in front of them, "You'd both make great guards. Who goes first?"

"I will." Tai said.

"I'm next."

"How about Izzy takes over after that, then I finish up the night. I propose the rest of us trek back to the bus and get some shut eyes." Replied Joe.

So we went back to the bus and everyone chose their spots. Most people were near the front but Matt and Gabumon sat around the middle and, like usual, I sat at the back.

Coronamon went to sleep quickly beside me but I couldn't sleep. Eventually I got bored and left the bus. I strolled to the edge of the island and stripped down to my bra and shorts. I was going for a swim and I wasn't about to go bare naked or in all my clothes. I threw my clothes up onto the island further so they wouldn't fall off, and dived into the water. It probably wasn't a best idea, I didn't know what was in the lake and I could hardly see, but oh well, I like swimming and I hadn't been in ages. So I started swimming to the shore and back again. I got back to the island the first time when I heard someone talking. The talking stopped and I ducked under the water as Matt ran past. I resurfaced and looked around. Tai and Agumon were still sitting by the fire, but Matt had run to the shore and was sitting with Gabumon, playing his harmonica.

Once I got to the shore for the second time, I wasn't near Matt, the island suddenly shook and started to move. I looked around for the cause, it wasn't that hard to find, there was a giant blue and white sea monster, ah, hang on, it's a lake, so technically I should call it a lake monster, maybe. As I started swimming back to the island I looked around again and saw Matt doing the same; he was quite a good swimmer especially since he had lots of drag from his clothes.

TK ran to see Matt when we got to the island. He was standing on the edge when the island shook again. He lost his balance and was introduced to the lake. Immediately I noticed he couldn't swim and dived under. I grabbed him and kicked hard to get us to the surface. Sora and I helped TK onto the island. I turned to see where Matt was, he had swam off to distract the sea, ah, lake monster.

"Are you coming up or not?" Sora asked.

"Yeah, I just-" I stopped when I saw Coronamon running towards us with my clothes, "Coronamon, you're a legend. TK turn around for a second would you?"

"Ok"

After he had turned around I pulled myself up onto the island and pulled my singlet and T-shirt on. There was no point getting them completely wet by putting them on in the water.

"You can turn back around."

TK turned and looked at me funny before turning his attention back to his brother.

The monster had grabbed Matt and was squeezing him with his tail.

"It's all my fault!" TK cried, "He was only trying to help me."

'Poor kid.' I thought. "TK it's not your fault. It's the sea monsters fault; he's the one who caused this, not you." I reassured him.

It was then that Tentomon kindly informed us that once Seadramon got a hold of his prey he doesn't let go. 'Just what we all needed to hear right now. Thanks Tentomon.'

Matt's digivice began to glow and light engulfed Gabumon. He was digivolving again. When he was finished he had changed into Garurumon, a huge zebra-striped wolf. Garurumon leapt forward and freed Matt before attacking Seadramon.

Matt reached the island and clung onto the rocks.

I reached a hand down to him, "Need a hand?"

Matt looked up at me, surprised, and took it, "Thanks."

I helped him out of the water and dropped his hand quickly.

TK rushed over, "Matt are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Where's Gabumon?"

Matt looked out to the lake and got his answer. Gabumon was fighting Seadramon and winning by the looks of it.

Seadramon fired an icy blast at Garurumon, trapping him in ice. Garurumon easily shook it off and attacked Seadramon with his howling blaster. It knocked Seadramon's head and he sank back into the lake.

Matt and TK celebrated while Garurumon changed back into Gabumon and swam back to shore. TK and Matt ran over to see Gabumon while the rest of us followed slowly behind.

"And you're the wolf man." Matt said and everyone burst out laughing.

"Okay, very funny, but how are we supposed to get back?" Joe asked.

"Just watch." Gomamon said as he dived into the water.

Gomamon called up lots of his fish friends and they pushed the island back to the shore.

Once they were safely on firm ground everyone chose a spot to sleep. Matt and TK sat away from the group and I sat somewhere in the middle. Everyone started to sleep, except for Matt, Tai and I. Matt sat, with TK leaning against him, playing his harmonica, and Tai, well I don't really know what he was doing. He was probably just checking on Matt and TK because he was standing behind a tree looking at them, strange huh. Eventually I fell asleep listening to Matt's harmonica, with Coronamon beside me.
