A/N: Here's the tenth part of "Care Bears Meet Digimon: Digital Champions" and the last for now, I decided to take a break from the action and decided to reveal some things about the kids. Some parts came from an ep. of Digimon Frontier "Welcome to my Nightmare" and Yoshi's dream is inspired by the MLP pilot "Rescue at Midnight Castle" which will be a later part. Hope you all enjoyed! Constructive critique would be appreciated but I just ask you to be polite. Okey-dokeys? And if you really want to pester me about a dumb rule, do so through e-mail or private message not the reviews, okey-dokeys?

Chapter 10, Campfires, Memories and Walking Nightmares:

Wizardmon VO: Now, taking a break from the action, those on the Cloud Clipper arrive on West Island by night.

The Cloud Clipper docks onto a shore on West Island, where the group ties it to a tree and everyone boards off.

Groovy Heart: Unless I miss my guess, I'd say we're on West Island.

Yoshi: Hey, how long 'til we get to the next Trailmon station?

Creative Heart: The nearest is station is not far from where we are.

Rita: Remind me again why we're looking for a station?

Sea Friend: We're to send Hugs & Tugs to the third moon.

Hugs: Aw, do we have to leave?

Wise Heart: I am afraid so, Hugs. What we do is dangerous work.

Tugs: Well, those bad Digimon don't scare me. I got some fight in me.

Mighty Heart: I'm sure you do, lad, but Grams Bear must be worried sick.

Hugs: Ohh. I didn't think about her.

Tugs: Me neither, now I miss her.

George: You can tell us about Grams Bear as we make camp.

Friend: It's been a long day for all of us.

Love-A-Lot finds a green apple on the ground.

Love-A-Lot: Hey, look what I found. Is it edible?

Gabumon: That's a meat apple, apples that have meat flavors.

Birthday: Wow, sounds good.

Early Heart: Where'd you find it?

Love-A-Lot: On the ground.

Betamon: If there are apples around, there must be a tree somewhere.

Yoshi: Sounds great, I'm starving.

Rita: Yeah, I haven't eaten since lunch this afternoon.

Treat Heart: Then, some of us will gather food.

Bedtime: And some of us will gather firewood.

Terriermon: And the rest of us will guard the spot.

Rita, Love-A-Lot, Harmony, Wish, Friend, Gentle Heart, Proud Heart, Treat Heart, Creative Heart and Rita go to get meat apples while Secret, Birthday, Sea Friend, Bright Heart, Early Heart and Groovy Heart set off to get firewood.

Bedtime: (Yawns) I'll set up beds for when we're ready.

Soon, everyone's back with meat apples, fruits and firewood, George & Birthday set the firewood up in a spot.

George: There, now how're we gonna light it?

Groovy Heart: Like this, man.

He uses his fire breath to light the fire.

Yoshi: Thank you, Groovy Heart.

Groovy Heart: Don't mention it.

As some others put the meat apples on sticks.

Yoshi: Ahh, apple.

He bites into it, but a second later does he spit it out.

Yoshi: (Spitting) Disgusting!

Terriermon: You don't eat 'em raw, silly.

Yoshi: Cripes.

As the group roasts their meat apples at the fire, they swap stories.

George: Say Gabumon?

Gabumon: Yeah?

George: When you & Terriermon transformed to save me. What exactly is the deal with that?

Terriermon: Well, when we transform, that's known as "Digivolving".

Yoshi: Digivolving?

Creative Heart: Basically, it's when Digimon advance to the next level and become more powerful.

Gabumon: Yes, but natural Digivolving for most is very difficult for it takes a lot of effort & power.

Bright Heart: So, how were you guys able to Digivolve like (snaps fingers) that.

Betamon: Even we don't know everything.

Treat Heart: I think the apples are ready now.

The gang takes the meat apples away from the fire and eat some.

Yoshi: Mm, mine's like nikuman.

Proud Heart: This one tastes like chicken.

Friend: I think I'm eating prime rib.

Betamon: Bacon.

Rita: Mm, delicious. Say Yoshi, what's nikuman?

Yoshi: It's a Japanese dish, it's like a bun made from flour dough filled with cooked ground pork or other ingredients.

Treat Heart: Mm, sounds good.

Yoshi: Yeah. (sighs) Now I miss my old place in Japan.

Love-A-Lot: How come you moved?

Yoshi: My dad got a new job in the U.S.A. I miss helping my mom make Thursday night dinner, when we'd do sushi.

George: I've only been gone for a few hours and I already miss home.

Rita: Yeah, same here. I wonder if our folks notice we're gone.

The kids, Sea Friend & critters begin swapping stories of their lives and whatnot.

Yoshi: It was 4 days ago that my family & I moved from Japan to the U.S.A. I live with my mom, dad and older sister, Miyuki. I can still get in touch with my Japan friends through E-mail & phone, but it's just not the same.

Friend: It's not that hard to make friends, Yoshi. Just be yourself.

Love-A-Lot: Also to be courteous towards others.

Yoshi: (Smiles) Yeah.

Rita: I guess I haven't been fair to anyone, especially you, Yoshi.

Yoshi: It's all right, Rita.

Love-A-Lot: It's understandable that you're frustrated with your dad's death and that your mom is forcing you to be a ballerina.

Rita: Yeah, but I was wrong to take out my frustration on other people. I'm sorry.

Secret: (Whispers in Rita's ear)

Rita: Thanks, Secret.

Mighty Heart: What'd he say?

Rita: He said it's O.K. to express my feelings but I should remember to not lash the negative ones out on others.

Wise Heart: Your emotions are like a bottle of soda, if you shake it up and keep it covered, it'll build up too much pressure which will soon explode.

Bright Heart: That's exactly right, I can see why you're called Wise Heart.

Wise Heart: It usually helps to just let it all out.

Wish: What about you, George?

George: Well, I have an older brother & older sister, they basically gang up on me for the taunting. Like Patty & Selma.

Terriermon: It's tough being the youngest.

Yoshi: Tell me about it.

George: I thought I could suck it up and deal, but it's not that easy when they bully you every now & again.

Love-A-Lot: Ohh. Well, you could try telling them how you feel.

George: Yeah, I could try that or I could tell my mom but I don't want to be accused of tattling.

Harmony: You won't be tattling, George. It's wrong to tell on others just to get them in trouble, but it's the right thing to do to tell on others if they're causing trouble.

George: (Smiles) Yeah. Thanks Harmony.

Harmony: You're welcome.

Bedtime: (Snores)

Gabumon: Judging from Bedtime Bear, I'd say it's time to get some rest.

Tugs: But we don't want to rest.

Terriermon: Sorry guys, but it's been a long day and we each have a long journey ahead of us.

Hugs: But we're not a (yawns) bit sleepy.

Early Heart: Terriermon is right, since it's a long journey, early to bed, early to rise.

So, everyone starts getting settled in, with Gabumon, Bright Heart & Terriermon keeping watch.

All: (Snoring)

Yoshi: (Breathing heavily)

Wizardmon VO: It was then that Yoshi begins having another dream.

In his dream, Yoshi is in a village of various Digimon, at first they welcome him with fruit.

Yoshi: Ooh, thanks.

Digimon: (Chattering)

But a second after he bites into an apple, the village is under attack by several black gargoyle-dragon creatures (unknown to him, Devidramon) as they swoop in and try to capture many villagers.

Devidramon: (Screeching)

Yoshi dodges one as another flies off with Rita!

Yoshi: Rita!

In real life, Gabumon notices Yoshi tossing & turning in his sleep.

Gabumon: Yoshi? Yoshi!

He goes to the boy as he shakes him awake.

Yoshi: (Groaning)

Gabumon: Yoshi, Yoshi, wake up! You're having a nightmare! Wake up!

Yoshi: Aah! (panting)

He snaps awake as he sits up and realizes his back in reality.

Yoshi: (Feels ground which is wet) Hope this is sweat.

Tugs: (Awakes) Ugh, Yoshi?

Yoshi: Sorry Tugs, I hope I didn't wake you up.

Tugs: No, you didn't. But what happened?

Yoshi: I was having a weird dream.

Gabumon: More like a nightmare, you were tossing & turning. What happened?

Yoshi: Well, I came to a little village, the Digimon welcome me with a fruit basket, but then we were attacked by a swarm of black gargoyle-dragon creatures that snatched some villagers also took Rita but Wish Bear climbed on a Pegasus wearing a red mask, Rita's captor dropped her and some weird guy riding a dragon saved her by grabbing her then dumping her on the ground. After he landed, he told Rita to leave but she just yelled at him. Then I woke up.

Bright Heart: Gee, that's some dream.

Yoshi: Yeah. I feel it may come true sooner or later. Just like the last ones.

Bright Heart: Well, I wouldn't worry now. Please, try to get a little more rest.

Terriermon: We'll leave when Early Heart crows.

Yoshi: I'll try.

Yoshi shuts his eyes and in a second falls asleep. Hours later, dawn approaches and…

Early Heart: (Cock-A-Doodle-Doo!)

As he crows, the group awakens.

All: (Groaning & yawning)

Bedtime: Morning already?

Early Heart: Sure is. Better get a move on if we're to get to Middle Island.

Everyone gets up and heads towards the nearest Trailmon station, where a Trailmon (Angler) is just waking up.

Angler: (Yawns) Good morning, everyone.

Clever Heart: Anger, sugar. We need a favor to ask of y'all.

Angler: Name it.

Treat Heart: We need you to take these two (shows Hugs & Tugs) to the Third Moon.

Angler: Whew, that's a long ways away. But I'll get through.

Hugs: Bye, everyone!

Tugs: Bye-bye, good luck with fighting the bad guys!

Terriermon: Thanks. Give my regards to Grams Bear!

Hugs: We will, Terriermon! Bye!

Hugs & Tugs board a car as Trailmon sets off.

Mighty Heart: Well, I'd say we should be heading off too.

George: Yeah, I agree.

The group returns to the Cloud Clipper and set off.

Wizardmon VO: Now that Hugs & Tugs are returning to Grams Bear, our heroes continue towards Middle Island.
