Chapter 7: Amusement Park

Mark stared at the ceiling as his phone buzzed. "A text…? This early?" He looked over and saw Kari playing with his phone. "Kari, what're you doing?"

She looked at him. "Good morning, Mark. I wanted to know what the buzzing was."

He got out of bed. "Do you even know what a phone is?"

She shook her head. "It's not that complicated, though."

He walked to her. "What did it say?"

"Thomas said his sister wanted to go to the amusement park, and they're inviting everyone."

He yawned. "If you know how to use the thing, tell 'im we're in, okay?"

She nodded, and he left the room. He found Kristy, Lily, Kazemon, and Biyomon eating cereal on the couch. "Morning, guys." All of them, but Lily, greeted him. He leaned over the back of couch next to her. "Kari's amazing. She apparently knows how to use a phone, and mine is the first she's seen."

Lily scoffed. "Yeah, right."

She walked out of Mark's room. "I told him."

She handed Mark his phone. "Thanks. We're going to the amusement park today."

Kristy and Biyomon looked at him. "Really?!"

He nodded. "Thomas invited us. You can thank Relena. She's the reason he invited us."

They nodded. "We'll do just that!"

Lily smiled slightly. "A nice, relaxing day…"

Kari jumped over the couch and landed in Lily's lap. "Yeah! We can go on all the roller coasters! This'll be my first time going!"

Lily chuckled nervously. "N-no, I can't go with you…"

Kari pouted. "B-but, I wanted to go with you…"

She sighed. "Alright…" She looked at Mark. "Only if he goes on with us."

He nodded. "Sure. Unfortunately, our partners can't join us. It wouldn't work."

Kazemon and Biyomon hung their heads down. "Aw…"

Kristy patted Biyomon's head. "It's okay; I'll buy you all kind of treats for when we get home, okay?"

"Okay…" He said sadly.

Lily stood, and Kari slid onto the ground. "I'm going to get ready."

Kristy stood as well. "I will to."

They headed to their room, and Biyomon began chasing after them. "Wait for me!"

Kazemon reached out and grabbed him. "Oh no, you don't. You're staying here."

He tried to break free. "How come?"

Mark began walking to his room. "You're a guy."

Biyomon crossed his arms. "But you're going!"

"I'm going to my room. They're in the same direction. And if I even tried, Lily would probably kill me."

Kari began running as well. "I need to change too."

Kazemon stopped her as well. "Just wait outside until Mark is done, okay?" She nodded.


Noon, the group walked through the entrance of the amusement park. "Okay, we split up here." Mark walked ahead, and Lily, Kari, and Kristy followed him. Miki and Megumi joined the group. Mark looked at his group. "Well. Apparently, the lot of us will be riding every single rollercoaster at Kari's request."

Relena ran to them, and Thomas joined. "Okay, let's get going shall we?"

They walked off, and Kristy waved to Keenan. They went to the first roller coaster, and waited in line. Soon they were on, and waiting for it to start.

"Uh, Mark…"

He looked at the arrangement. Thomas and Relena in back, Miki, Megumi, and Kristy behind them, and Kari and Lily with him. He looked at Lily. "Do you… need something?"

She shyly nodded. "Um… can I hold onto you?" She blushed. "I'm… kinda afraid of roller coasters…"

He nodded. "Sure, do whatever you want." He looked at Kari, and felt something hang onto his arm. "You?"

She shook her head. "I'll be fine."

It began moving, and soon rose. It reached the top of the hill. Lily tightened her grip on Mark's arm, and closed her eyes tight. It sped down, and he heard everyone screaming behind him. He looked back, and for the most part it looked like everyone was enjoying it, but Thomas looked a little scared. Surprisingly, Kari was fine. She as screaming, but it was because she was enjoying herself, unlike Lily, who was screaming in terror.

"Calm down, it isn't too bad."

She buried her head in his chest. "Or get worse." After the ride was over, everyone exited in high spirits, but Lily kept her grip on Mark. "I-Is it over…?"

Mark carefully removed her. "Yeah, it's alright. Was it really that bad?"

She blushed. "Yes, but holding onto you made it a little better." She saw him smirk, and glared at him, her face redder than before. "B-but don't take it the wrong way, Dreyer!"

He nodded. "Don't worry, Saito. Are you sure about this? We're going on them all."

She shook her head. "Not at all. I can't handle anymore."

Thomas walked to her. "I'm out too. I was terrified." The two sat out as the rest of the group rode the roller coasters. Once they were finished. They waited by the cotton candy stand. "This is really good!"

Kristy giggled. "It is, isn't it? It's not healthy, though, which stinks." A group of people ran past them, screaming. Soon, the entire park was being evacuated.

Miki stopped by a nearby woman. "Excuse me, what happened?"

She looked back. "A huge roach appeared outta nowhere! You should go too." She continued on her way.

"Miki, Megumi, make sure everyone is safe." Lily pulled out her Digivice. "Relena, Kari, stay close. Kazemon, realize!" The rest of them realized their partners.

Mark began running. "Let's go, everyone!" They all followed after him.

"Where are the others?" Kristy asked.

Thomas scoffed. "They problem got dragged out in the crowd."

Lily looked up. "Found the target."

Flying around the park was a Roachmon. "Garbage Dump!" Pieces of trash began falling from the sky. He spotted them. "Eh? Why little humans still here?"

Kristy carefully weaved through the trash. "His grammar is horrible." She looked up at him. "You're ruining everybody's day! We're going to stop you!"

He laughed. "Little human girl think she can beat me?"

"Not so sure about her, I'm confident!" He looked down, and saw Agunimon speeding towards him. In a matter of seconds, Agunimon's fist met Roachmon's jaw, and he crashed to the ground.

Biyomon ran to Kristy. "Let's go!" She nodded.

A small burst of purple energy appeared around Kristy's hand. "DNA…" She placed it on top of the Digivice. "Charge!" The same energy appeared around Biyomon, and he began to change. "Biyomon Digivolve to…" His body changed from that of the small rookie level Biyomon to that of the powerful champion level… "Aquilamon!"

Roachmon got up and shook his head. "Why you…!" He got back in the air.

Aquilamon flew and rammed into him, pushing him back. "Blast Laser!" He let out a sharp cry, and ring like rays fired from his mouth.

Roachmon took the hit, and fumed. "You jerks! Take this, Yard Sale Bomb!" Pieces of garbage began raining down on them. Everyone shielded themselves.

Agunimon groaned. "Fantastic, it's raining crap!"

Kazemon gagged. "Agunimon, don't say that!"

Kristy let out a small gasp. "Oh, yeah! Agunimon, I think I'm perfectly capable of taking him down!"

He scoffed. "Yeah right, with your bare hands?" Gaogamon looked through the trash, trying to locate Roachmon. "A lot of females aren't fond of bugs, even small ones. A huge one like this would probably make most women faint."

A bird flew by Roachmon. "A birdie."

It let out a cry and dropped something. Gaogamon gasped. "Kazemon, watch-" a splat was heard, and everyone, including Roachmon looked at her. The bird had in a way… 'made it rain'.

She let out a shriek. "I can't believe that just happened!"

Roachmon laughed. "Hah! That tragic, but funny!"

She ran to Lily. "You gotta pull me out, I can't fight like this!"

She shook her head. "No, you're staying!"

"Let her go."

She looked at Mark. "Why?"

"I don't really wanna be near her until she's clean." She looked back in Kazemon's direction, but found nothing.

"I'm back in the Digivice. Give Mark a kiss for me, okay?"

Lily gagged. "No way, why would you ask that?"

Everyone chuckled, and he put a hand on his hip. "Thanks for saying that when I'm right here."

"Yard Sale Bomb!" Before the attack could be executed, something went small and red went flying towards Roachmon.

"Petit Prominence!"

He went flying to the ground. "Ow… who hit me?!"

On the ground, a Coronamon landed next to Lily. "I did it!"

Roachmon glared at her. "Why little Digimon team up with bad people?"

She pointed at him. "You're the bad people… person! These humans, and myself were enjoying ourselves, and then you came and ruined our day! I won't forgive you!"

Roachmon flew towards her.

"Grand Horn!" Roachmon looked to his side, and saw Aquilamon, horns red, ram into him.

"Spiral Blow!" Gaogamon shot a tornado from his mouth, sending Roachmon flying further.

"Pyro Punch!" Next, Agunimon ran to him, and upper cutted him.

"Let's finish this!"

Lily looked down at Coronamon. "Huh? Okay. He's at his weakest, go all out."

She nodded. "Corona Flame!" She concentrated the power of Flame in her brow and fired it all at Roachmon. He let out a loud shriek.

Mark walked next to Agunimon, who then turned back into Flamemon. "Y'know, there's somethin' about watching this roach burn that makes me feel good."

Mark looked down at him. "What, the fact that it's fire?"

He shook his head. "Mainly because he made it rain garbage on us."

All the Digimon turned back to their Rookie forms. Gaomon walked to Relena and Kari. "Are you two alright?"

Relena nodded. "Other than the trash that fell on me."

Lily knelt next to Coronamon. "So… you helped us because you wanted to teach them a lesson?"

She nodded. "Now that that's done, wanna be friends?"

Lily blinked a few times. "W-what? Friends? We just met."

She nodded. "I know." "Is there… any other reason?"

Coronamon blushed and peaked at Flamemon. "No real reason." She said, giggling. The others noticed this, and chuckled.

Flamemon blushed. "Well, this is going to be awkward."

Mark patted his head. "Flamemon, you dog!"

He stepped away from him. "You're one to talk! You constantly had girls asking you out back home!"

Lily sighed. "Y'know what, I'll think about it. I'm too tired to think today. And then there's Kazemon."

Thomas walked past her. "What, are you going to help her bath or something?"

She stood up. "No, of course not! I need to get her home, first!"

Thomas nodded. "Yeah, yeah…"

She ran after him. "I'm not like that!"

"Then explain why you're so cold to Mark?"

"W-what?! He's just one guy!"

Relena walked to Kristy. "You know, I have an odd feeling that Lily is a tad tsundere towards Mark."

She nodded. "I think that too."

Kari ran past them. "Let's get going!" Ahead of them, the other three walked.

"I'm straight Thomas!"

"You're lying."

Mark sighed and karate chopped the two of them in the back of the neck. "Shut up, both of you. It's getting annoying. If you're questioning her sexuality, go out with her and prove it."

Thomas rubbed his neck. "You do it!"

He shrugged. "I don't mind."

Lily scoffed. "I'll get you two back for this!"
