Rhett awake with a slight headache and the sensation that something was sitting on top of his chest. Indeed when he looked, he could see a beige-colored ball of cotton sitting precariously on his chest. He had no idea where it had come from - actually - he wasn't even sure what it was. As he stared at the fluff ball, he swore he could see it breathing. Or was it merely the wind shifting and ruffling the cotton? he debated this until a realization struck him.

There was no wind.

Now both overcome with curiosity and sick of lying on his back Rhett nudged the object off his chest

"You're finally awake."

Rhett hadn't honestly believed it himself that the fluff had been alive, so he could barely stifle a scream when the ball came to life. Two cat like ears popped up and a slender tail at leas the length of the creatures body with a ball of fluff at its tip sprang out. large golden eyes looked up at Rhett with glee as Rhett sat up slowly.

"What are you? Where am I?"

"Well that's rude," responded the little creature without a hint of annoyance in its voice, "I'm not a what. I'm a who."

"You're a who?"

"You're supposed to ask who i am, not what i am."

"O'h," responded Rhett, finally understanding. "Sorry. Who are you?"

"I'm Cuddlemon!" he exclaimed

the creature looked so proud at having announced it's name, Rhett couldn't even muster a sarcastic remark about the name.

"So, where am I?"

"The Jungle."

Rhett sighed "I can see that. But where? What country am I in? I know New your doesn't have jungles or animals like you running around."

"Country? I don't get it," stated Cuddlemon "We're in the Digital Word!"

"What the hell -?"

"I know," continued Cuddlemon, "It's not a very exciting name. we should call it Digitopia or something."

"No, no, not that," Rhett said. he picked up Cuddlemon, instantly silencing the creature, "what is the Digital World?"

Cuddlemon looked at him inquisitively. "what do you mean? This is the Digital World... with Digimon like me. You didn't know that?"

Rhett shook his head. "No... I guess I'm not from around here."

"How did i get here?" asked Rhett, though he was really talking to the air more than he was addressing the bouncing Digimon.

"Dunno!" exclaimed Cuddlemon, seeming to get more exhilerated with each bounce. "Lets go ask your people!"

Rhett stood up immediately, "My people? What do you mean, 'My People'?"

"There's some more people like you around here, " replied Cuddlemon. "Let's go get 'em!"

Rhett broke into a jog and followed Cuddlemon who was already bouncing off ahead.

"I'm following a bouncing fluffball," though Rhett with a small grin "This is what my has become."
